·06 nov 1 2011 10/31/11 11:36 am page 1 6 beach metro news tuesday november 1 2011 in my opinion enduring value of peace for the next generation november 4th marks the rededication ceremony of the malvern collegiate institute war memorial this cenotaph bears the names of the 25 `boys of malvern ­ boys who graduated from this high school and went off to fight and die in the first world war it is worth taking the time to read about the lives and fates of these men on the honour roll all of them courageous ­ four of them formally honoured for being so all of them young ­ a number of them still teenagers some of them brothers what struck me most when reading the honour roll ­ perhaps strangely ­ were their addresses somehow they brought history to life the boys lived on beech wineva lyall swanwick main and gerrard we in this community live in matthew kellway mp beaches/east york their houses now we eat in the same kitchens we climb the same stairs to the bedrooms they grew up in they would have tumbled ­ or stumbled ­ out the front door to fall into class at malvern collegiate in the same way that our kids do today but their lives came to an end not long after their days at mci and most of them lay buried close to where they fell thousands of miles from the neighbourhood they grew up in and the high school they attended it is a wistful thought that i can not suppress i wonder if one of the boys had by some improbable chance met my grandfather somewhere on the western front it was in 1915 that my grandfather enlisted in the australian imperial forces was commissioned and posted to the 37th battalion he was wounded in 1916 and gassed in 1918 but my grandfather survived and now his great-granddaughter walks through the shadow of the malvern war memorial every school day i know we all tend to lose sight of those things that are in plain view before us every day but i think there can be no better place for a war memorial than that which the malvern war memorial occupies ­ perched as it is daily above the student population of a high school the cenotaph originally dedicated in 1922 represents stories of incredible courage but also and mainly stories of irrecoverable loss the lesson i think has to be about the enduring value of peace it is my hope that the fate of the `boys of malvern not be lost on today s boys and girls of malvern and that the value of peace not escape them because our kids ­ their generation ­ represent our next best chance to fashion a world of less conflict and greater peace that we know is no easy task it has eluded us since long before the `boys of malvern left this neighbourhood for battlefields far away and over the last 10 years too many more canadian soldiers have shared their same fate we have reached a point in canada now where our government measures support for our soldiers in terms of dollars we re prepared to spend on the hardware we provide for war and by that measure with a plan this government s `canada first defence strategy to spend $490 billion dollars on military hardware and infrastructure over the next 20 years the proposed ­ and supposed $9 billion for f35s being but a fraction of this total peace will not come easily or soon my thanks to ­ and admiration for ­ all those who organized and all those who donated to the malvern war memorial restoration campaign may this cenotaph mark the start of a path to peace for our kids and if there be the 25 `boys of malvern watching the rededication from on high may they know that they have not been forgotten and assured that they did not

to help offset their legal expenses i was disappointed that the reporter did not mention that the ravine used to be why do people treat the r.c harris plant as an off-leash area why have the grounds of the r.c harris water treatment plant become an off-leash dog-run firstly many dog owners allow their dogs to run off-leash in the following areas the lawn south of city owned and has been for many years city protected but now it is privately owned by the homeowners our backlot depth is over 210 ft as is most of the residents on benlamond and glen davis to present this as a public park/ravine that needs protection from major development is disingenuous on the part of fogdr i understand completely why the homeowners on kingston road are concerned the condo will affect the ravine in many ways however you should point out it is a privatelyowned ravine we don t wish the community to think it is a public park and have people walking through it for ecological not to mention privacy

nervous about this coming winter season there was a time in these parts when every season had instantly recognizable characteristics summer was hot fall was not and spring was rainy i am aware that winter did not make the short list and there is a reason for that there was a time in this country when we knew exactly what to expect of winter it was cold with lots of snow thanks to our mothers when we left the house in the morning we were prepared for the worst ­ warm woolen mittens thick scarves knitted by good old mom long johns and sturdy boots and jackets all of them designed to keep old man winter at bay but that was then and this is now and to tell the truth i don t really care about this version of now back in the days of my youth winters were truly cold we all wore about 20 pounds of cold weather clothing and one s nose didn t fully thaw until the middle of may if i am making it sound like the season was just something to be suffered through please don t get that impression because it was a wonderful time for a kid there was no shortage of ice to skate on and lots of snow to build forts on and make snowballs with which of course were used to pelt i friend and foe alike until it began to get dark at which point you raced home before mom had to go looking for you and you really didn t want that to happen unfortunately those days didn t last forever and before i knew what happened it was time to buy a new suit and a second-hand car and get a job about those second-hand cars you could always be sure of two things one that the salesman was lying when he said the car you purchased had only 10,000 original miles on it and second the machine would suffer a breakdown six weeks after you proudly drove it off the lot there were many life lessons to be learned when trying to cope with used car dealers but unfortunately with the passage of time i have forgotten most of them but getting back to the snowball fights i mentioned earlier i believe there are lessons to be learned from those long-ago battles for one thing they were battles with no casualties and there is a simple explanation for that for some reason whether by accident or design the opposing forts were always built about five yards beyond the range of even the strongest-armed among us so even though the air was filled with blood-curdling cries there were never any casualties because nobody ever got hit and that leads me to another thought as peace-loving canadians i believe we should promote the use of snowballs as the weapon of choice whenever countries start making belligerent noises towards one another apart from the occasional shiner or bruised noggin nobody ever gets hurt but aside from the humanitarian aspect but there is another avenue to explore and that s where canada enters the picture every winter thousands of acres of farmland lie dormant while farmers wait for spring and the arrival of the growing season why can t they make snowballs from all that white stuff that just lies around all winter and ship them to toronto where they would be carefully packed and redirected to countries that are cross with one another for whatever reason this would be applauded by peace-loving countries everywhere and especially canada which could charge a small fee to cover shipping and handling costs plus a reasonable amount that would take care of minor items such as a markup designed to compensate them for any inconvenience as usual i am not charging a fee for this worthy suggestion bill maclean s 5 minutes ­ 5 questions our 5 minutes ­ 5 questions spot is proving to be a very popular feature people have emailed me arts@beachmetro.com with their responses ­ unsolicited ­ and i think we may have to take it to a wider audience in the meantime i ll

·13 nov 1 2011 food 10/28/11 12:54 pm page 1 tuesday november 1 2011 beach metro news 13 money life and law heading to the states pack these tips with your passport i love cross border shopping with our money this close to par with the us dollar it s the perfect time to combine my love of shopping with saving money i have a sister ­ and a sister-in-law ­ living in the states so most of our visits there are spent shopping this past thanksgiving weekend we made a family visit to columbus ohio and oh what fun we had when my sister and i go shopping both of us invariably end up at the back of the store at the bargain bins that is where you find the real deals my sister-in-law however had to learn a few tricks she wasn t used to flicking through the sale racks but after a few trips through the mall with me she declared forget these 35 racks you have shown me the 80-90 off racks keep in mind that by shopping at an outlet mall you are not automatically saving money this is why my sister and i still head to the back of the stores even in outlet malls that is where the deals are many of these stores also jan maclean have racks where they take an extra percentage the penny off the lowest price finally a good use for math or saver take along a calculator i found a great pair of everyday shoes that were listed at $90 with 80 off they cost me only $18 by the way don t forget your glasses it is really embarrassing when you thought the sticker said $30 but it was really $90 of course off season items are usually a great deal a lot of these are transition pieces short-sleeved tops that will be amazing under jackets or sweaters sleeveless dresses that can be worn with a blouse underneath or something over top creating versatile outfits throughout the seasons my find was a brown sleeveless dress in green and orange for $8 and don t forget sheets and towels while you are `over there even if you don t need them you will once you see the variety quality and price browse the shelves check out the colours the thread count and buy a few new items i always look for pillow cases duvet covers sheets towels and shower curtains there is so much variety and the prices can be so good it is always worth the time to look even if your husband is trying to drag you out of the store he will be happy to have that new plush towel next time he gets out of the shower some brands do manufacture inferior products designed for sale only at their outlets so be aware of it you don t have to stick to the outlets for bargains either regular department stores also have great deals i have done well at kohl s macy s and filene s basement again find the bargain racks often at macy s there are `price check machines so you don t even need a calculator to check the discounted price it can be worth it as well to get a macy s card because sometimes you an extra 20 off with it tj maxx and marshall s are the same as our winner s so you will feel right at home in these stores pack your bags but leave lots of room to bring stuff home my husband was extra clever this trip he bought a new bag ­ on sale of course there are limits to what you can bring back depending on the length of your visit if you are absent from canada for more than 48 hours you may claim up to $400 cad worth of goods duty free you must have the goods with you when you arrive at the border for more

danger of falling off were removed and retained for the archive carver eric schop then drilled holes to receive the lead which was pounded into place and the letters cut by hand the base of the statue which sits on its perch outside the school s second-floor library was repaired and new concrete applied to keep it stable and secure the rededication now that the guardian of malvern has been restored he will be honoured in a ceremony similar to the original held on friday may 19 1922 colonel henry cockshutt lieutenant governor of ontario was on hand for the occasion along with hundreds of students cadets teachers and members of the beach community lieutenant colonel the rev canon william l baynesreed dso minister at st john the baptist norway anglican church gave the dedication from a platform bedecked with union jacks it expresses the spirit of canadians in the war said then-principal carl lehmann carved in imperishable granite the statue represents a stalwart youth whose right hand grasps a crusader s sword while the left holds aloft a broken chain symbol of the struggle to which our young men gave their lives freedom has been won at a tremendous effort which has left its trace on the boy s countenance the attitude is not that of boastful triumph but of grateful victory as always the focus of attention at the ceremony will be on the men who served canada s armed forces among the scheduled speakers is a representative of the royal regiment of canadian artillery who will speak on behalf the veterans six of the 25 men named on the memorial were members of artillery regiments including 2nd lieutenant gordon davidson who served with the royal scots fusiliers gunners arthur gorman william hird and walter hutchinson were canadian artillery men and one lieutenant arthur `bud sisley served as a gunner for almost two years before joining the royal flying corps in 1917 major john archibald trebilcock of britain s royal field artillery was awarded the military cross for his actions at passchendaele in september 1917 when he kept his guns working despite heavy shelling by the enemy and put out blazing ammunition that had caught fire in one of the gun pits he was killed near arras on may 21 1918 when the ammunition again caught fire and exploded a brief history of each man named on the monument has been published in the commemorative program copies of which will be

blow them all away you may find the children are spending more time indoors now that fall is upon us and looking for things to do especially the older jk/sk kids who may have the afternoons free there are lots of neighbourhood programs out there ­ gym dance swimming at recreation centres but finding a small art program can be very rewarding when the numbers are a much smaller ratio of children to adult the art can be much more child focused and rich one such program is art in the afternoon run by early childhood educator and musician/storyteller/artist wendy tinkler wendy offers a two-hour program 1 ­ 3 p.m for ages 3-6 years and only four in the class at a time the art class is held in a bright child friendly studio in wendy s home the space is used for a nursery school program in the mornings the children get to dabble in clay collage papier mache printmaking puppetry and more wendy says the secret to great art is to use great materials and she provides good quality water colours with an assortment of fine paint brushes the children get to paint on 200 lb water colour paper not only is the process satisfying but the results are vibrant and frameable 416-699-2608 wendy s vegetable prints would look great in anyone s kitchen she took a cauliflower carrot broccoli green pepper and sliced them in half lengthwise using poster paints the children dipped the veggies into the paint and pressed them onto clean white paper the prints are spectacular especially the cauliflower you could also do the vegetable prints using acrylic paints pressed onto white flour sack tea towels or plain muslin ­ what a great gift idea acrylic paints are good on stretched canvas available at art supply stores the canvasses come in different sizes once the paintings are completed they are ready to hang remember acrylic paint does not come out of clothing so you will want to have the children dressed in smocks or old clothes wendy s papier mache project took a few weeks to complete the different stages the children picked their theme ­ mermaid bird fish a form was made using scrunched up balls of newspaper wrapped with masking tape to keep the form the wing or tail shapes were cut from cardboard and taped onto the forms twists of paper were used as arms when the form was finished it was covered in strips of plain newsprint dipped in a flour and water paste to make the paste mix water into flour until you have a soupy cake batter consistency once the forms were covered and allowed to dry wendy had the children paint them using acrylic paints when the paint was dry the children embellished their creations using sequins feathers shells this is just a sampling of the projects at art in the afternoon coming soon are clay creations printmaking on acrylic sheets and driftwood snakes art in the afternoon runs for eight week sessions and is located at main and gerrard if you are interested in the art program or nursery school call wendy at 416-699-9886 · if you are

fran nent in november traditionally the cold-loving chrysanmcquade themum is november s flower poppies is a hobby gardener belong to the month of august the hot and freelance writer harvest-time but as most canadians know those sweet country customs changed in 1915 that s the year john mccrae poet-surgeon-soldier from guelph on wrote and published his historic poem in flanders fields the three short verses link a burst of blooming corn poppies papaver rhoeas with the many fallen soldiers at ypres belgium inspired by mccrae s poem an american woman of that era moina michael is credited with starting the custom of wearing poppies in honour of war veterans today there s an added layer of meaning ­ and perhaps irony ­ to the remembrance day poppy its dangerous lookalike the opium poppy p somniferum recalls the poppy fields of afghanistan where so many canadian soldiers were lost sadly those fields didn t mark the graves of the fallen however the opium trade is thought to be one of the resources for financing the enemy taliban forces such a lovely flower to carry so much weight real-life beauties with poppies so prominent right now you might want to think about adding them to your garden in the spring seeing these glorious flowers in bloom will drive all sad thoughts from your mind that s only right since long before the first world war poppies were associated with fertility and sleep and ease of pain even now many pain-relievers like morphine and codeine are still derived from opium poppies don t worry ­ you don t have to risk being busted by the opp for growing poppies there are several kinds to choose from and to me they all look pretty much alike and equally gorgeous oriental poppies p orientale started out in central asia they re winter-hardy like good drainage and come in lots of colours including pink red plum and white get seeds or started plants and give them lots of sun except for the plum/purples which can get dingy in too-bright light flowers can be enormous ­ 15 cm across isn t unusual silk crepe petals burst out of green pompom buds in late spring/early summer place oriental poppies where later plants will fill in for them since they re notorious for disap respect · resourcefulness · responsibility t pearing during the hot summer months they don t like to be moved so decide carefully before digging field poppies p rhoeas are the corn poppies of flanders fields dormant seeds there were awakened when the soil was disturbed you ll also spot their flecks of red in grain fields or wildflower meadows painted by claude monet corn is the old world word for grain the unmown meadows at highfields home of prince charles himself a dedicated gardener are dotted with them too cheerful corn poppies are annuals reseeding themselves from year to year once they get established start them like other annuals from seed indoors or by sowing outdoors in april/may besides the traditional red you can find strains in a variety of pastels that other poppy the fabled opium poppy is technically illegal to grow in canada but some folks have them in their gardens just because they re so darn pretty the seedpods especially are fantastic in dried flower arrangements and some herb gardeners like to have them in their collections for innocent historical interest they re undeniably interesting and full of folklore and stories besides their drug connection they re the source of the poppy seeds we cook with urban legend tells of people testing positive for drugs after a poppy seed bun in fact you d have to eat at least a couple of bagels for that to happen so stick to sesame maybe anyone who s seen the wizard of oz recalls the memorable scene in which dorothy the cowardly lion and toto fall into a deep sleep in a field of bewitched
