PAGE TWO Inside Wellington - Second Section of the Wellington Advertiser, Friday, July 8, 2011

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, time is of the essence with a

pressing concern. Act quickly or you just may get passed by on this opportunity. Sagittarius plays a

pivotal role this week.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, things could get interesting this week when someone intervenes on your behalf and it has promising results. Use

this opportunity to your benefit.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you can’t move mountains

all by yourself. You can accomplish a lot when you put your mind to it, but

ask for help sometimes.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Petty arguments can escalate if you’re not careful, Cancer. It’s better if you keep a level head and push through the rough spots. Better times arrive

for the weekend.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, take some time to make an

important decision and then seek the advice of someone you trust. The

decision you have to make this week is not one to take lightly.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, if romance is what you’re after, it’s something you just may find mid-week. Someone you overlooked in the past takes on a new light in your eyes.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23You’re checking things off of your

to-do list very easily, Libra. Doesn’t it bring you satisfaction to be on top of everything? Keep up the good work.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, sometimes it may seem like

you’re being persecuted, but you tend to be a little more sensitive and emotional than others. Learn to roll

with the punches.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Acting in an irrational fashion is not the way to win friends, Sagittarius.

Think twice before you do something that can be perceived as foolish in the

days to come.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20A big party is in the works, Capricorn. Although you may feel a bit nervous about hosting, things will work out just fine if you do a lot of planning.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, think carefully about the

repercussions of a pending decision. This decision will impact several peo-ple and demands your full attention.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, go with the flow and

you’ll find you will have a much better time of it this week.

Scorpio needs a friend.

Horoscopes- For the second week of July -

Here’s How it Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! Find the answer below.

ELORA - It sounds like the set-up to a very peculiar joke.

What do you get when you cross an internationally-renowned Celtic guitarist of Scottish descent with the sul-try, lyrically-haunting vocals of a prairie girl who grew up to become a singer-songwriter and a lad from northern Ontario whose guitar riffs and mind-blowing solos have generated a fan following of some of the most recognized musicians of our time?

You get the Local Legends show, one of the hottest tick-ets in town for this summer’s Elora Festival line-up, featur-ing Tony McManus, Gwen Swick and Kevin Breit.

The show is aptly named after these three international-ly-acclaimed musicians, all of whom call the village of Elora home.

Locals and visitors alike will have the rare opportunity to see these three talented art-ists share a stage like never before, on July 22 at 8pm in the Gambrel Barn.

These three musicians - neighbours, in fact - spend much of their time travelling to various shows, so this per-formance is a special opportu-nity to make music with their friends, for their friends, in a venue practically in their own backyards.

The impetus for this event came from Elora Festival orga-nizers themselves.

Marketing manager Julie Denneny started a Facebook discussion, asking patrons of the Festival which local tal-ents they would most like to see take the stage. The casual chat evolved into an overwhelming campaign that inspired Elora Festival General Manager Jurgen Petrenko and Artistic Director Noel Edison to approach McManus, Swick and Breit and set the wheels in motion.

“I’m so thrilled that they’re all able to make it,” said Denneny. “I knew this would be a great opportunity for audi-

ences to see the outstanding, internationally-recognized tal-ent we have that live right here, in our village.”

It wasn’t a hard sell; it was an honour, all three musicians agree.

“It takes a village to raise a child, and it certainly also takes one to put on a festival that is as great as the Elora Festival is in the scope and talent it pres-ents,” Swick said.

“The Elora Festival has ten-tacles that reach all across the country and outside it as well. It’s amazing that our lovely town is home to a festival that is so well known so far away. That’s the result of great vision by the festival itself, like Noel, Jurgen, Julie and other orga-nizers who have gone before them, and the great support in the community too.”

It’s good to be home. Summer is the season of festi-vals and travelling shows, and these minstrels spend a good part of their year on the road. The past year has been particu-larly exciting for all three.

McManus made two trips to Japan; the first just five days prior to the horrible earthquake that struck Japan’s northeast coast, and second four weeks afterwards.

“The change of mood in Tokyo was apparent as was the almost complete absence of tourists. The final concert in the city was very emotion-al; people were very grateful that I’d not cancelled,” said McManus. “In between the Japan trips I was in Australia for four weeks, for my first trip back there in five years.”

Most recently, McManus was in Prince Edward Island for the Festival of Small Halls, and has a busy summer with sev-eral first-time events, including visits to Croatia and Slovenia, and playing the Healdsburg Guitar Festival, in California, an opportunity to promote the McManus signature model guitar by PRS Guitars out of Maryland.

Then it’s returning to work

with Loreena McKennitt, whose album McManus played on last year. Somewhere in there he plans to record new music for his sixth solo album.

Swick’s career involves lending her unique voice to the likes of 2011 Juno nomi-nated Canadian folk trio The Marigolds, alongside the incredible Caitlin Hanford and Suzie Vinnick, and to the leg-endary harmonies of Quartette, featuring Cindy Church, Sylvia Tyson, Hanford and Swick.

When she isn’t part of those collaborations, Swick is a solo performer and songwriter.

“Over the past year, I’ve had a nice mix of solo shows, playing with the Marigolds, and Quartette. A particularly great moment for Quartette was performing at a beauti-ful rural church as part of the Indian River Music Festival in PEI.

“It’s the only time we have ever listened to cows mooing during our sound check, and being served fresh oysters and champagne between shows,” Swick said with a laugh. “Quartette played a Christmas show out East too; that was truly beautiful and moving.”

This fall, Swick returned to her native Manitoba, with

a line-up of solo performanc-es, enjoying her audiences as much as the scenery.

“I love the prairies, being a prairie girl originally,” she said. “My mom and dad both grew up in Winnipeg and lived in many parts of Manitoba, so the drives, as well as the shows, were great.”

For Breit, a short stop at home is the rest he needs for rejuvenation after a hectic year and a summer season that seems to be equally as intense.

“Last year, I recorded with The Wallin’ Jennies, Oh Susanna, N’didi O, Ruth

Moody, Lindi Ortega, Tomi Swick and Hugh Laurie,” he explained.

“As an artist, I recorded a new disc with Harry Manx, called Strictly Whatever, and recorded the tenth Sisters Euclid disc (self-titled) and another disc with Stretch Orchestra, featuring Matt Brubeck and Jesse Stewart.”

Local audiences will also know Breit’s work with fellow Elora natives Randall Coryell and Howie Southwood, plus Jeff Bird, of the Cowboy Junkies, who have formed a band known as The Potion Kings, set to release their debut live album this fall.

This spring, Breit joined singer and famed actor Hugh Laurie, of the television-hit show House, for a four-week tour of Europe, and will pick-up the tour come fall.

“This was a serious high-light of my 30-year career,” said Breit. “Hugh Laurie is an unbelievable character; so much grace, talent and incred-ible humour.”

Sisters Euclid, Breit’s Toronto-based band with a cult-like following, is set to tour jazz festivals from coast to coast this summer.

Needless to say, a collab-orative effort between Swick, McManus and Breit should be a show unlike any other in the Elora Festival’s series, simply because it’s unlike anything these friends have done before. Given their mutual admiration and distinct talents, it will be a show in the spirit of true musi-cianship.

“Kevin is such a different player from me - a much stron-ger improviser, for example,” said McManus. “There’s not much danger of redundancy. His playing is very angular and often the ideas are coming thick and fast.”

Breit added, “I’m so happy to be up there with Tony and Gwen. Tony and I shared a stage at the Vancouver Folk Festival. I had a great time with my neighbour. We play completely different from one another, but I think this is a charming aspect to collabora-tion. Celtic meets … whatever the hell I do.”

For Swick, the challenge to merge the sounds is exciting.

“It’s a bit like walking in a different door to your own material. The approach is dif-ferent; nothing I’ve done before. We want to have a bal-

ance of solo and collaborative performances,” she said.

“It does push me to try to have ready a bit of new mate-rial that might suit these two magnificent fellows. They get inside the music and play it out, performing musical feats that ought to be impossible.”

The guitarists feel the same about their songstress.

“I first performed with Gwen when I was 18 years old. She is beautiful and totally original; in a book of her own,” said Breit.

McManus agreed, adding, “It’s taken way too long for this collaboration to happen. I hear people all over the country ask if I know Gwen Swick. We live on the same street so it’s about time we did some play-ing together.”

It has been said there is no place like home, and these three are very proud of their community.

“When I speak to other musicians abroad about Elora being my home, I am always met with two things: the gorge and the Elora Festival. It is a place renowned for it’s diver-sity and beauty,” Breit said.

“So many incredible artists have graced the stage of the Festival and it is regarded as a great stop when touring.”

Said McManus, “I think all three of us are very proud of the level of artistic energy in Elora and the Festival is a big part of that. It’s a prestigious event with an international reputation, so it’s great to be involved.”

So what exactly is ultravio-let (UV) radiation?

The sun is like a gigantic nuclear reactor that transforms hydrogen into helium, generat-ing massive amounts of radia-

tion or energy. One of these energy forms is UV radiation, which is shorter and more ener-getic than visible light, and depending on its wavelength, it is able to pass through the Earth’s ozone and cause vari-ous biological effects.

UVA is long-range radia-tion that is able to penetrate deep into the skin. This causes instant discolouration (tan-ning), rapid skin aging and plays a role in the development of certain skin cancers. UVA

accounts for 95% of the radia-tion that penetrates the ozone.

UVB is short-wave ultra-violet radiation. It is able to penetrate the epidermis and has a delayed reaction of tanning, sunburns and most skin can-cer. UVB accounts for 5% of the radiation that penetrates the ozone.

UVC is very energetic and incredible dangerous to all life forms - but don’t worry, UVC is filtered out by ozone and never reaches the earth.

What precautions should people take to avoid harmful radiation?

Slap on some sunscreen. Before going out for pro-longed periods of time, put on sunscreen. A lotion with Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 15 is enough to make a difference. Look for “broad spectrum” lotions that will protect against UVA and UVB radiation. Lotion will deteriorate if you go swimming or sweat a lot so reapply sunscreen often as the

manufacturer recommends. Stay in the shade, especially

when the sun is at its highest intensity (11am to 4pm).

Cover up. If you plan to be outside when the sun is at its most intense wear cloth-ing that covers you up. Long sleeved shirts, pants and a wide brimmed hat will help pro-tect your skin from damage. Choose light and breathable fabrics so you are comfortable and avoid heat illness.

Eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Don’t forget your delicate fea-tures. Eyes are very sensitive to UV rays so you should always wear sunglasses during day-time hours. Select a pair that have UVA and UVB protec-tion.

Make sure to protect your ears and nose with lotion as they are highly susceptible to burns. Lips are also very vul-nerable so protect them with an SPF lip balm.

Students will go back to school with new nutrition standardsby Amy Snider-WhitsonWhile students and teachers

wind-down from a busy school year, others are gearing-up for back-to-school with new nutri-tion standards in September.

Childhood obesity rates have tripled in the last 25 years, and diabetes is on the rise.

The provincial government

has stepped in with legislation geared toward making healthy eating more accessible in Ontario schools.

The Ontario School Nutrition Standards were released in January of 2010, setting out the nutrition cri-teria for all foods and bever-ages sold in publicly-funded elementary and secondary schools. All schools must be in compliance with those guide-lines by September.

The new standards, designed to promote more nutritious choices on school

menus, divide into three major categories:

- Sell Most: At least 80% of products sold must conform to those criteria. The foods are considered healthier options with higher levels of essen-tial nutrients while containing lower amounts of fat, sugars and sodium.

- Sell Least: Up to 20% of the food sold can be in that cat-egory. Those items may have higher amounts of fat, sugars, and sodium than those in the Sell Most category.

- Not Permitted for Sale:

Some items will no longer be available for sale in schools. They are considered to have little nutritional value and are typically high in fat, sugar and sodium. As a result, the follow-ing foods will be removed from school cafeterias and vending machines:

- all deep fried foods;- high fat pastries such as

croissants, donuts, pies, and most cookies and squares;

- frozen desserts high in sugar and fat, such as ice cream, frozen confectionary, and popsicles and freezies that are not made from 100% juice;

- meats that contain more than 14 grams of fat and 480mg sodium per serving, such as chicken wings, bacon, ribs, hot dogs and pepperoni;

- candy, chocolate, coated nuts, licorice, energy bars and gum; and

- caffeinated drinks, ener-gy or sports drinks, and soft drinks.

Schools are allowed up to ten special event days per school year where foods sold are exempt from those stan-dards (essentially one day per month in the school calendar).

Catering companies and cafeteria staff that prepare food for schools and day cares are required to source nutritious products that fit the new guide-lines and to adopt preparation methods that limit added fat and calories.

In preparation for these leg-islated standards, several man-ufacturers that sell to schools have been making changes to their product formulations

or launching new products to comply with the new rules.

The question is, will the new standards actually make students choose healthier foods? The new standards do not regulate what students can bring in their lunch bags. With the exception of special meals, lunches for elementary school children are typically packed by parents. Providing good nutrition can be a struggle for parents who need to balance acceptance and convenience.

At the high school level, students can simply leave school property to get their french fry or pizza fix at the nearest franchise. High schools in British Columbia and Nova Scotia that have already ini-tiated stricter nutrition poli-cies have shown as much as a 30% reduction in cafeteria sales. Conversely, convenience stores in those areas have seen increased sales.

Certainly, the new nutrition guidelines are an important start. Getting students excit-ed about healthy eating is an equally vital step. Strategies to connect students with healthy eating could include:

- building on curriculum and programs that involve stu-dents in healthy meal planning and food preparation;

- starting community school gardens;

- offering ‘healthy school’ incentives that sponsor special events or sports teams;

- educating parents, guard-ians, and kids on how to pack a healthy lunch; and

- having teachers set a good example.

Amy Snider-Whitson is a Toronto-based professional home economist and president of the Test Kitchen Inc. and president of the Ontario Home Economics Association.

Summer Festival features comedy at Century Church TheatreHILLSBURGH - Summer

Festival 2011 opens at Century Church Theatre here on July 13.

Three classic comedies by award-winning playwrights promise plenty of laughter.

“We like to do comedy in the summer, because our audi-ences want to come and relax and have fun,” said Artistic Director Neville Worsnop. “But when we choose a sum-

mer comedy we also look for a play that has some substance - interesting characters, and a thought-provoking story, something that the audience can identify with, and talk about afterwards.”

Sir Alan Ayckbourn, author of the opening play, is well-known for his unorthodox plot twists and deeply human char-acters. Confusions tells five interlinked stories, all dealing

with human eccentricities, and the hilarious and sometimes ludicrous situations that can arise. Five actors play 21 dif-ferent roles as the action moves through many genres of com-edy, from sit-com to pathos to outright farce.

Knighted for lifetime achievement in theatre, and with 70 hit plays to his credit, Ayckbourn is the most prolific and the most enjoyed English

playwright after Shakespeare. Directed by Jo Phenix, the

play stars Jill Peterson, Frank Rempel, Patrick C. Smith, Wendy West, and Neville Worsnop, it runs July 13 to 24.

Coming Apart, by Fred Carmichael, features a suc-cessful humor columnist and a romance novelist whose mar-riage is on the rocks.

In a series of wildly comical flashbacks and flash-forwards,

each remembers different ver-sions of their romantic past, and each has a different future in mind. Hilarious revelations bring about a mirthful happy ending.

Directed by David Glover, the play stars Pat Beaven, Carol McCone, Gary Seibert, and Patrick C. Smith, and runs August 17 to 28.

Every woman owes it to herself to take her man to see the final festival show, Shirley Valentine, by Willy Russell, directed by Worsnop.

Shirley is a frustrated mid-dle-class housewife who longs for more in her life.

An opportunity and a chal-lenge arise when a friend invites her to go along on a holiday to Greece.

“This role has been on my bucket list for ages,” said star

Carol Beauchamp. “Her expe-riences and views on life so well reflect the lives of many women, and I am thrilled to finally have the chance to be Shirley.”

The play runs Sept. 14 to 18, and is a must-see for anyone who has enjoyed the movie, as the way Shirley reflects on her life, her husband, and her children is even more touching on stage, and also very funny.

Each show has weekday and weekend matinees, and evening performances.

Tickets are $23 for mati-nees and $27 for evenings with a 10% discount for booking all three shows together. Group rates are also available. For information and to book tick-ets, call 519-855-4586, or visit www.centurychurchtheatre.com.

Centre in the Square announces coming seasonKITCHENER - Dust off

THE old albums, because Rock of Ages is taking stage Nov. 23 and 24 at Centre in the Square here. The Broadway hit is about dreaming big, playing loud and partying.

Remember Mel Brooks’ smash hit The Producers? He’s done it again with Young Frankenstein, and it will be bringing it to our May 29 and 30 next year.

The centre recently announced its coming yearly schedule.

Jeans ‘n Classics and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony will do another series of Electric Thursdays. It starts with legends like Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, Dec. 7 and 8, and U2 March 7 and 8, and ending with Michael Jackson April 18 and 19 and The Police, May 16 and 17.

The KWS is introducing a new Classic Albums Live Series. It plays “Note for note, cut for cut.”

What better way to kick it off than with the music of Pink

Floyd, and Dark Side of the Moon on Oct. 27 and The Last Waltz on Feb. 9.

The Comedy Series includes improv kings with Whose Live Anyway Sept. 22. Ryan Stiles leads a group of comedians from TV’s Whose Line Is It Anyway. It will be 90 minutes of improvised comedy and song based on audience suggestions.

André-Philippe Gagnon will shock with impersonation his talent in One-Man Hit Parade on Nov. 28. The Just

For Laughs Roadshow will return as usual to end the sea-son on April 12.

For lovers of true Canadian art, the Great Canadian Play and Songwriter’s Series include I, Claudia, Oct. 26 and Goodness, March 26 at The Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts. That new studio theatre was a hit last season, with every show sell-ing out. This year, Marc Jordan plays Nov. 10, Kevin Fox, Feb. 23, and a Songwriter’s Circle is on May 31.

Area TV station goes to digital on Aug 31MONTREAL – On Aug.

31, at the request of the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), most local television broadcasters will switch their current ana-logue signals over to digital.

Cogeco Cable, which has stations in Fergus, Rockwood, and Puslinch Township, has announced that customers will

not be affected by the transition and that they will continue to receive their channels using the equipment they already have.

Cogeco customers will con-tinue to receive their TV net-works with no interruption of service. They will not need to change their actual TV set or obtain any additional equip-ment for any TV set connected to Cogeco’s cable service in

order to maintain their current choice of channels.

In fact, the transition to digital TV will affect only TV sets that receive over-the-air signals via bunny ears or an antenna on the roof. For addi-tional information on the move to digital, visit cogeco.ca/tran-sitiontodigital.

Cogeco Cable’s HD cus-tomers will receive, when

available, their local broadcast-ers programming in HD.

For more information about Cogeco services, call 1-866-950-3712 or visit Cogeco.ca.

Cogeco Cable (www.cogeco.ca) is the second larg-est cable operator in Ontario, Québec, and Portugal, in terms of the number of basic cable service customers served.

MITCHELL - Perth-Wellington MPP John Wilkinson says starting this fall, Ontario farmers will benefit from a new Risk Management Program (RMP).

Wilkinson was joined last week by Carol Mitchell, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, to announce the details of the program, which he said will help protect farms and ensure Ontario fami-lies continue to enjoy healthy local food.

“Farming and agri-business drive our local economy. When this sector does well, our riding does well,” said Wilkinson.

“Working with our farm leadership, the Risk Management Program has been created as a ‘Made in Ontario’ solution. I want to thank Carol and especially my urban col-

leagues for securing a brighter future for our local farm fami-lies and everyone who works in this vital and growing sector.”

Farmers will be able to apply for support through the new RMP, the first of its kind in Ontario.

The program, working like insurance, helps grain and oilseeds, cattle, hog, veal and sheep farmers manage risks beyond their control, such as fluctuating costs and volatile market prices. Ontario is also providing a self-directed risk management program for the edible horticulture sector.

“On behalf of the Perth Federation of Agriculture I would like to thank both our MPP John Wilkinson and the Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs, Carol Mitchell for their work in con-

firming the details of the new RMP in such a timely manner,” said Brent Royce.

Mitchell added, “We’ve delivered on our promise to Ontario’s farmers and worked with them to create a made-in-Ontario program by farmers, for farmers. The risk manage-ment program will give them the predictability and stability they need to stay on the land and continue to provide us with the good things that grow in Ontario.”

Premiums are being waived

for the RMP program’s 2011 transition year. While applica-tions for grains and oilseeds farmers will be available in August, the remainder of the program applications will be available this fall.

Ontario’s agri-food industry contributes $33-billion to the provincial economy every year and provides jobs for 700,000 people.

There are nearly 60,000 farms in Ontario and each farmer produces enough food to feed 120 people every year.
