St. Thomas fire fightersgoing to World Police &Fire Games

Three local fire fighters will besaying hello to the Statue of Lib-erty at the end of this monthwhen they compete in hockeytournaments at the bi-annualWorld Police & Fire Games beingheld this year in New York City.

Brad, Ian and Alex, who havebeen with the St. Thomas FireDepartment for nine, eight andfive years respectively, have beenplaying hockey for over 30 yearseach. They say it is an honourand a privilege to be playing in

the Games, which is the secondlargest multi-sport event in theworld, surpassed only by theSummer Olympics.

Their team will be playing in theseniors division against teamsfrom the New York Fire Depart-ment, the New England PoliceDepartment and the StockholmFire Department before begin-ning elimination games.

“The word is we’ll get by NewYork and New England but Swe-den is another story,” says Ianwho will be playing left wing.

“We are going to take onegame at a time,” says Alex whowill be playing centre and hasalso been assigned as assistantcoach.

Since neither Brad, Ian or Alexhave been to the Big Apple be-fore, they are looking forward tovisiting the World Trade Centre,the Statue of Liberty and Broad-way while they are in the city.

“We’ll have a lot of fun,” Bradsays.

“But we want to thank the guyswho have stepped up to take ourplaces while we’re away,” saysAlex.

Even the raincouldn’t keepthe magic awayFirst annual Fairy Festi-val at Steed & Co.Lavender Farm

by Heather Newton DerksFolklore has it that the Laven-

der Fairy was in charge of doingthe laundry for all of the otherfairies, and if this was the case,then she certainly got herchance to prove it on August 6at Steed and Co. LavenderFarm’s first annual Fairy Festival.

The outdoor event began witha bang, as guests were treatedto a thundery downpour of epicproportions. But soon the skycleared up and the day’s activi-ties were under way.

“We had about 40 or 50 kidsshow up dressed in their fairycostumes,” says SuzanneSteed. “We had a fairy paradeand the kids went through thelavender field looking for thefairy laundry which the Laven-der Fairy had strung on littlemini fairy clotheslines.”

Other activities included facepainting, lavender fairy cookies,and entertainment by Junonominated children’s group JamSandwich.

Another popular demonstra-tion was the pottery display puton by Lydia Harder Pottery. “I amdoing pinch pots for the kids toput their fairy dust in,” com-mented Lydia Harder. “The kids

will each get to make their own,and then I will take them backto my shop and fire them andglaze them, and then the kidswill be able to pick them up inabout four weeks.”

Since the Lavender Fairyseemed to give her watery ap-proval this year, Suzanne Steedhopes to make the Fairy Festivalan annual event. “It was soamazing that so many kidscame dressed up,” she says. “Itwas a big success and we willbe doing it every year in Augustfrom now on.”

Networking for newcomersYWCA increasing settlement servicesfor immigrants to Canada

Elgin County isn’t known for its highly di-verse population, but newcomers to Canadaoften find their way here for various reasonsincluding employment, school or family.

“We are lucky to have them in our commu-nity,” says Shelley Harris, manager of edu-cation and employment at the YWCA. “Theyare often highly skilled people who don’thave any trouble getting a job.”

But helping them keep their jobs, fit into anew culture and stay in the community is thegoal of Settlement Services for Newcomersoffered at the YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin. Theprogram recently expanded its services byoffering expanded walk-in hours and lan-guage classes.

Settlement programs funded by Citizenshipand Immigration Canada provide newcomerswith an opportunity to adapt more quickly asthey learn about Canadian culture and lan-guage through one-on-one assistance, ori-entation sessions and language classes.

Those new to Canada may have difficultyaccessing services in rural communities, oreven becoming aware that services are

available. “Our focus is on networking and helping

newcomers not to feel isolated,” says settle-ment worker Farahnaz Nazir.

The support provided includes assistancewith immigration and citizenship processes,information on health and social services,housing, banking, employment and referralto community resources for legal and othersupport services.

Services are now available at the YWCA, 16Mary Street in St. Thomas, on a walk-in basisTuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am-12pmand 1-4pm, and by appointment on Monday,

Thursday and Friday. Language classes will be available in both

St. Thomas and Aylmer from September toJune. In St. Thomas the classes will run atthe YWCA on Tuesday, Wednesday andThursday from 9am-3pm, and in Aylmer theclasses will be held at Aylmer CommunityServices Monday and Tuesday evenings from6-9pm.

One day a little girl came home from school, and said to hermother, "Mom, today in school I was punished for something thatI didn't do." The mother exclaimed, "But that's terrible! I'm going to

have a talk with your teacher about this... by the way, what was it that youdidn't do?"

The little girl replied, "My homework."

Berkshire chairman Warren Buf-fett has been successfully swim-ming in the investment pool formany years. He recently madenews because he wanted to giveaway his billions to worthy causes.The super-rich think he has lost his

marbles. He stated that America could climb out of debt a

great deal sooner if it would just tax the super-richat a higher level. Right now, he is taxed at a rate of17%, while his staff at Berkshire is in the 34%bracket. Does this seem fair? Buffett doesn’t thinkso. He says he has more money than he could everspend in his lifetime.

I am not surprised that the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal is ridiculing Buffett andquestioning his mental state. The right-wing media

zealously protect the super-rich because they relatethe very wealthy to the creation of jobs. Curiously,some of America’s richest companies are movingtheir jobs to third-world countries in pursuit ofhigher profits. Much of America is jobless becausethe super-rich care more for the bottom line thanfor their fellow countrymen.

Is President Obama right in applauding Buffett’schange of heart about taxes? A humanist wouldagree, particularly when you consider the 46 millionAmericans without health insurance. It’s a quickroad to bankruptcy for them if they contract a seri-ous or chronic illness.

I worry about America’s recovery because Canadais still too closely tied to the U.S. system. I wouldlike them to climb out of their debt crisis and sin-cerely believe that a better tax system is the wayout. However, I won’t hold my breath. The super-rich are predators by nature and it will be hard forthem to change their ways.

Soon, no moretrips to the Zoo

It is a truth universally acknowl-edged in these parts that times will be tougher whenthe Ford plant closes.

The St. Thomas Assembly Plant sometimes seemsdistant from St. Thomas and Elgin society – amongother things, the plant is enormous and looks oth-erworldly to anyone who has never worked inside it– but Ford has been a stable and generous employerfor about 44 years and a strong supporter of thecommunity through organizations like United Wayand many capital projects.

Working at the Ford plant has meant bread on ta-bles, mortgages paid and good vehicles in drivewaysfor families since the plant, that is now 2,600,000sq. ft., opened in 1967 to produce the Ford Falcon.The vast majority of workers have been decent,hardworking people who raised families and caredabout the communities they called home.

All that is changing come September when theplant closes and the remaining 1,000 or so workers

lose their jobs.Typically, about a third of these workers reside in

the St. Thomas area, a third in London and a thirdcommute from other communities.

Morale is not good at the plant these days. Howcould it be?

While there has been plenty of advance notice, andtheoretically time for people to adjust and to try todecide what to do with their layoff packages, the re-ality doesn’t truly sink in until people no longer goto work every day.

The shuttering of the Zoo, as one of my Ford-worker acquaintances loves to call it, means hugepsychological adjustments, particularly at a timewhen jobs aren’t exactly growing on trees unlesspeople are willing to locate to northern Alberta ornorthern B.C.

No doubt some will. Others will find other careersor pursue interests they’ve never previously had timefor. And some of these interests may turn into suc-cessful businesses, funded in part by layoff pack-ages. When the going gets tough, the tough getgoing.

It’s getting over the feeling of a punch to the gutthat comes with a layoff that’s the hardest part.

Two sides to under-pass story

With the demolition of the FirstStreet rail underpass in St. Thomas, I’ve been hear-ing two schools of thought.

One view says that this is long overdue. No trainshave passed over the bridge in a very long time, soit makes sense to tear down a decrepit structure thathas no purpose except to plug the road. It’s abouttime it came down before it falls down. It offers thecity the opportunity to widen a part of the roadwaythat has become a bottleneck for an increasinglybusy street.

The other view is that we are tearing down a pieceof our history. The rail underpass was a part of whatmade this city the Railway Capital of Canada. It pro-vided access for traffic to travel unimpeded whileallowing trains to run overhead. If the bridge is dis-mantled, will train travel ever be able to return to St.

Thomas?I can see both points of view. Whenever I drove

under the bridge in the narrow lane going south Iwould think of the tram cars in the early 1900s thatused it as a right of way. I would think how interest-ing it was that we still had such a whimsical rem-nant to remember our history by.

On the other hand, I was put off by the rusty con-dition of the bridge and was always a little con-cerned that a chunk might break off and fall on avehicle or pedestrian travelling underneath.

This situation reminds me of what Peter Walsh, theprofessional organizer on the TV show Clean Sweep,used to say to homeowners who were having trou-ble getting rid of stuff. “If it meant so much to you,why was it sitting in a box in the basement?”

If this rail structure meant so much to us, whydidn’t we take care of it? The fact that we didn’t,speaks volumes. It doesn’t do any good for peopleto complain after something is already gone. Whatare we doing now to maintain the pieces of historywe care about?

Jeff Yurek forthe PC Party

Jeff Yurek has three reasons forrunning in the upcoming Ontarioelection as the PC candidate forthe Elgin-Middlesex-London rid-ing. He’s a small business owner,his daughter is entering schooland he has parents who are re-tired.

“I’m concerned about the fu-ture,” he says. “Less governmentregulation of business, sound ed-ucation policies and health re-form are some of the criticalissues in this election,” he says.

As a pharmacist and co-ownerof Yurek Pharmacy in St. Thomasfor the last 16 years, Jeff is con-cerned about the effect of theeconomy on the riding.

“Government over-regulationof business is making it harderfor businesses to operate andcreate jobs,” he says. “They aretaking away our freedom.”

In March, Jeff won a hotly con-tested nomination contest for the

candidacy of the local PC Party.He decided to run because he feltthe PC Party’s platform of smallergovernment, responsible spend-ing and less taxation closelymatched his own values. Al-though he said he hadn’t ex-pected to win the nomination, hewas both exhilarated and scaredwhen he did. “Winning changesyour life,” he says.

Other issues he sees as impor-tant are getting spending under

control and taxpayer relief. “Weneed to get a break on our en-ergy bills, which have skyrock-eted,” he says.

Constituents have also told Jeffthat they want him to representthe entire riding and be con-cerned with issues here and not

just those important in Toronto.“It’s important to me to get this

economy going,” Jeff says. “ThePC Party wants to clean up gov-ernment and make it more ac-countable.”

Crazyfor LoriLocal tribute artistwins at London MusicAwards

When Lori Holden was growingup as a farm girl in Iona, sheheard a lot of music by PatsyCline, the 1960s country singerwho had such hits as ‘Crazy,’ ‘I Fallto Pieces’ and ‘Walkin’ After Mid-night.’ So it was a natural thing forher to include Patsy’s songs whenshe sang and performed at localvenues and contests.

But it was when she gave a tapeof her songs to Roy LeBlanc, alocal Elvis tribute artist, that shefinally found her own niche as atribute singer.

“Roy phoned me and said, ‘Whydid you give me a tape of PatsyCline?’” Lori remembers. After shetold him it was actually hersinging, he invited her to do ashow with him at the Capitol The-atre in St. Thomas.

That was in December 2005.Since then, she’s performed asPatsy Cline with Roy on many oc-casions, and with Traci Kennedy(who sings as Shania Twain) in ashow called ‘Up and Crazy,’ aswell as many performances onher own.

At the 2011 London MusicAwards on June 29, Lori won theaward for Most Popular TributeArtist, beating out last year’s win-ner Doug Varney, who performs asRod Stewart.

“I was on cloud nine,” she says.“This was the first time I wasnominated and I won!”

Lori attributes her success tohaving a lot of things in commonwith Patsy Cline. They both mar-ried a man named Jerry, had twochildren and had fathers who diedof lung cancer. They both sing byear and can’t read music andhave the same favourite colour(red) and perfume (Windsong).

“When I put the outfit on, I feelsomething,” Lori says. “I am her.”

She’s quick to say that Patsy’spersonal life, which was turbulent,

is not something she’s emulating,and she’s past the age whenPatsy died in a plane crash. “But Ilove her songs,” she says. “AndPatsy was loved by a lot of people.So I focus on the good things.”

The Arts & Cookery Bankuses Facebook to choosebest photo

Joshua Driver of West Lorneand his great aunt, Dolly Driver ofDutton, were the winners of TheArts & Cookery Bank’s PhotoShoot-Out competition, whichtook place at The Bank’s First An-niversary Celebration July 16during the Cactus, Cattle andCowboys event in West Lorne.

The Bank’s Photo Shoot-Out in-vited visitors to have their phototaken inside The Bank, with achoice of western costumes andhorse saddles. The photos wereplaced on Facebook and partici-pants were encouraged to gettheir friends and family to join(“like”) The Bank’s Facebookpage and vote for their favouritephoto. When voting ended July31, Joshua, son of Patricia Driverand Dolly (Patricia’s aunt) re-ceived the most votes. They willbe receiving a Go Bank Certificatefor a Free Birthday Cake as aprize.

“My sister, Joshua’s Aunt Cathy,got the Facebook information andthe link and she went crazy,” saysPatricia Driver. “She sent it toeveryone and kept pushing

everyone she knows to vote.”These results make it a double

win for the Driver Family becausePatricia Driver won the first cakein The Bank’s Cake Walk compe-tition. Played like musical chairs,participants had the opportunityto win one of eight cakes if theywere in the right spot when themusic stopped.

“We were there enjoying the af-ternoon, watching the parade”says Dolly Driver. “When the pa-rade was over, Joshua and I wentto The Bank to look at the cakePatricia won and we were askedif we wanted to have our picturetaken and participate in a con-test.”

Dolly says that despite cowboyhats being available for people towear, Joshua only wanted towear “Nana’s” hat, so Dolly puton the one that was available andJoshua wore her hat for thephoto.

“Clearly the Drivers have goodluck running in their family,” saysMitch Kuska, The Arts & CookeryBank’s summer student. “It wasfun to see everyone who cameout and participated in the day’sevents and we hope to see themall again next year!”

Hydro One purchasesformer Sterling Truckfacilities

Hydro One Networks Inc. (HydroOne) is relocating to St. Thomasfrom London and expanding itsfacilities into two buildings onSouth Edgeware Road that used tobe part of the Sterling Truck As-sembly operation. The companywill be employing approximately50 people.

St. Thomas Economic Develop-ment Corporation President Den-nis Broome was excited by thenews and remarked that “theseare high‐quality jobs in a very solidsector. This announcement shouldserve as an example that St.Thomas is moving forward andwell‐positioned to support compa-nies of any size from a variety ofsectors.”

At the 5‐acre 320 South Edge-ware Road location, Hydro One willemploy approximately 12 me-chanics to service some of theover 7,500 vehicles that the com-pany uses in Ontario. Hydro Onewill be moving into this building inearly fall of 2011.

At the 425 South EdgewareRoad location, Hydro One will em-ploy 25‐30 Transmission LineMaintainers and will service anarea that ranges from NiagaraFalls in the east to Windsor in thewest and mid‐way to Owen Soundin the north. The investment in thisfacility will include an addition ofover 4,000 square feet on the20‐acre site. In addition to the em-ployment mentioned above, therewill also be a number of adminis-trative and support staff in each ofthe facilities.

Hydro One selected the St.Thomas sites based on the centrallocation in Southwestern Ontario,the easy access to Highway 401,the strong employment base, theavailability of suitable facilities andthe reasonable cost of doing busi-ness in the City.

Hydro One is the largest electric-

ity transmission and distributioncompany in Ontario and owns andoperates approximately 96% ofOntario’s transmission capacity.

Although the Hydro One brand is

just over a decade old, the com-pany itself dates back over 100years and continues to grow todayas one of Ontario’s best corporatecitizens and top employers.

A poodle and a collie were walk-ing down the street.

The poodle turned to the collieand complained, "My life is a mess.

My owner is mean, mygirlfriend ran away, and

I'm nervous as a cat."

"Why don't you go see a psychiatrist?" asked the collie.

"I can't," replied the poodle. "I'mnot allowed on the couch."

Of quartsandclarinets

I'm a product ofchild labour –just kidding!However, I do re-member sum-

mers as a young boy picking fruit

in Vineland. I recall one particular summer

that was very important to me.When I was 14, I decided to buymy own clarinet. I had been play-ing the instrument my parentshad bought me years before, andI had grown to love it. I decided itwas time to make a big invest-ment in, what was then, a ratherexpensive clarinet at around

$300.Here was my plan. I would

trade in, for $75, the clarinet myparents had given me. Plus, I hada trumpet that I had bought at aflea market that was worth$25. This meant I had to earnaround $200 more.

At that time, I could pick fivebaskets of cherries in onehour. They paid us 25 cents per

basket, which meant that, at$1.25 per hour, I had to work 160hours to buy my clarinet.

Well, long story short, with themoney from selling my instru-ments and picking fruit, I couldbuy my clarinet. Wow, was Iproud of my purchase, and some40 years later, that clarinet stillworks well and looks great. I'vetaken care of it, serviced it, oiledit and made sure I didn't leave it

in the cold car during the wintermonths.

Three hundred dollars was ahuge amount of money when Iwas 14. But, I noticed that the in-vestment taught me somethingimportant about life. The more Iinvest in something, someone orsome idea, the more responsiblyI act towards it. And, working forsomething I need, helps to buildcharacter and a measure of re-

sponsibility. Interesting, is it not,that the Bible says: "If anyonewill not work, neither shall heeat." Hmm, that's a different ap-proach.

And that is something to thinkabout.
