David Tilson Announces Funding to Support Canadian Seniors


Seniors across the nation will soon have new opportunities to volunteer, mentor younger generations and help raise awareness of elder abuse thanks to funding through the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). David Tilson, Member of Parliament for Dufferin-Caledon, made the announcement today at the Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness Centre in Bolton, which is receiving funding support from the Program for its project to engage seniors. Our Government recognizes the diversity of skills, knowledge, and experience that seniors contribute to our society and the economy, said Mr. Tilson. Through initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program, we are helping to ensure that seniors maintain a high quality of life and continue as active, participating members of their communities. The Caledon Parks and Recreation Department will receive $22,520 for its project to engage seniors as program leaders develop new activities for seniors living in Caledon, in support of social participation and inclusion among seniors. Seniors will participate in pickleball, fitness classes, shuffleboard, and a walking club. This funding provides opportunities for our elderly residents to participate more fully in the superb amenities our Town offers, said Caledon Mayor Marolyn Morrison, from our spectacular natural countryside to the very best recreational programs and facilities, this will go a long way to engaging our seniors. The Village Keepers will also receive funding ($15,400) for its project to engage seniors in the community through the mentoring of others by organizing an intergenerational project to assist older adults and support young children. Seniors will teach new parents regarding childhood development to enhance early learning and literacy. Our SKIP: Lets Play Program allows our vital seniors in the community to teach families about early literacy and early learning, said Nicola Harris, Executive Director of The Village Keepers. Many seniors are playing a more active role in terms of caring for their grandchildren and great grandchildren. This program arms seniors with valuable tools to help support the early learning practices in homes with children. Since its beginning, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 10,400 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada. This year, the Government of Canada will provide more than $35.6 million in funding for almost 2,000 community projects.

Can you feel it?


By Shelly Sargent Editor The Regional
Some people have a favourite month or season, to the exclusion of all others. I never really have, though Ive said this is my favourite time of year! at least once per season for many years now. The fact of the matter is I see beauty, feel hope and draw inspiration from all the seasons (though I could live quite nicely without quite so much snow, thank you very much). And as each different time of year rolls around, I am inspired and hopeful all over again. My mood when June arrives is a case in point. Sometime early in the month, I inevitably start feeling a restless tug somewhere in the region of my solar plexus. I can remember feeling this way when I was a child and always assumed it was caused by that long slow burn of anticipation caused by waiting for the interminably lengthy school year to come to an end. But since Im long past those school years and still succumb to the same sensation, I have come to wonder if I misunderstood its cause for all those years. Perhaps theres something more elemental in this feeling something that has more to do with natures slow creep from fresh-turned earth to lustrous green bounty. All I know is that I welcome this lovely tingle each year, as I also welcome the lovely new growth on fields and trees and the restless energy I see building in all of our children as they start sensing their 10 month enforced slavery to book-bags and binders coming to a close for the summer. And with Junes arrival, Im drawn to spending time each day with my fingers in the earth, much to the chagrin of my manicurist, Lucie, whose unthinkable task it will be to beat my unruly cuticles back into submission and find a way to clean and soften this soil-stained skin once more. Its been gently suggested that I wear gloves when gardening but how do you garden if you cant feel the soils warmth on your skin? Inconceivable! Lucies is a dirty job, to be sure, but vitally necessary since I love all the wonderful events our 6th month brings to Caledon (Steak & Lobsterfest, Wines of the World, Caledon Fair, Caledon Day and the opening of the Farmers Markets to name just a few) and try not to go out and about looking like I just crawled in out of a ditch anymore than is absolutely necessary. And that reminds me speaking of necessity there are a few things that we all need to be reminded of this time of year: First, if you live in the country and plan to have any type of open fire this summer, youll need to purchase an open air burn permit. After youve done that, dont forget to call before you strike the match to the tinder. For info on the permit and what it covers, call the Caledon Fire & Emergency Services Department (905) 584-2272. Ext 4303 for more information. Second, if you havent done so already, make a circuit of your yard and look for sources of open water where mosquitos breed. Dumping all that standing water will vastly reduce the mosquito population in your yard. And finally, its time to get back into the habit of protecting ourselves and our loved ones from sun and heat. Use sunscreen on yourself and your kids, stay out of direct sun during the heat of the day and wear light loose clothing to protect your skin even more. Carry water with you when you are outside and remember to check in often with elderly friends and relatives, making sure they are remembering to look after themselves as well. In our pages this month, Dr. Katie talks about sweeteners, Deb Robertson waxes poetic about gardening and David Mielke discusses cookies while Justin Popovic takes on doubt

Note From The Editor

Rick, my dad Harry and my father-inlaw Richard) a wonderful Fathers day too. Each of them prove the following words very true: It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons. ~Johann Schiller. With all that great content to look forward to, I hope youll take a moment to sink into a comfy lawn chair, slap on a straw hat and sit in the garden with this months issue of the Regional enjoying the smells of summer and the drone of the honey bees at work as you read.

Letter to the Editor


A thank you message to everyone who helped make our 2012 Teddy Bear Clinic a great success again this year. - To the children of our community and surrounding areas for bringing their Teddy Bears, Dolls and other Stuffed Animals to the Clinic last Saturday I do hope you are following Doctors orders in caring for your Teddies, Dolls and Stuffed Animals! - To everyone who donated items for our Fish Pond (It was a Real Fish Pond this year - the kids thoroughly enjoyed being outside and the weatherman cooperated!) - To the businesses in our community and surrounding areas who donated Gift Certificates; Teddy Bears; Cash Donations; Tooth Brushes, etc., and to our Finger Printing Team - thank you all for your support of this very worthwhile event. Lets not forget our Miniature Horses providing entertainment for the kids and also visited with some of our patients! - To our Medical Staff (our Doctors and Nurses) who volunteered their time. - To our Police, Fire Department and EMS personnel who were on hand to show the children safety procedures and mingle with the kids. - To our High School Students who volunteered their time. - To our Volunteers who volunteered their time and especially to those who

helped in the planning and/or were responsible for managing specific areas of the event. I am sure the patients are feeling much better as a result of the wonderful care and attention lavished on them by our doctors, nurses, hospital staff and volunteers. Although this is more of a Public Relations-type Event for the children, at the end of day, a small amount of money is raised and all proceeds will go towards the purchase of much needed hospital equipment. Thank you all once again for your support and I truly hope you enjoyed it as much as the Kids did as was evidenced by the smiles seen on their little faces. See you again next year!

The Motts - Two views on a Controversial cover


Paul says....
Its been referred to over the years as the most controversial cover of all time. On April 8th, 1966, the cover of Time Magazine, posed the provocative question, in bold, red lettering...Is God Dead? America was outraged! Not since dubbing Adolf Hitler, Man of the Year in 39, had the publication suffered such scorn. But now, it appears, there may be a new king of offensive covers. Setting up its article on something called attachment parenting, the wise men at Time featured a yummy-mummy on the cover of its May edition, co-starring her threeyear old son. While mom strikes a model-like pose, sporting tight jeans and a halter top, junior, standing on a chair... lunches on her left breast! O...M...G!!! That, if you believe the multitude of polls, is how most reacted. There seemed to be a consensus, that there was nothing wrong with breast-feeding, to a point, or debating the merits of attachment parenting... but THIS, was beyond the pale! And what about that provocative, in-your-face caption... Are You MOM ENOUGH? The masses were miffed! The Twitterverse a buzz! But, obviously, for the parties involved, this was a win-win. Despite the criticism, which Im sure came as no surprise, (youd have to be an idiot not to expect it) this young mother, 26-year old Jamie Grumet, got to beat the drum for her cause, attachment parenting... and the folks at Time scored a big seller with an eye-popping cover! The only potential loser in this deal is soon-to-be-four, Aram Grumet. If you think those bare butt on the bear rug photos are embarrassing, Imagine mom hauling out THIS shot for the girlfriend! Lets hope young Aram is blessed... with a great sense of humour.

Carol says....
No doubt it was a picture meant to get people talking and it has. The subsequent article is lost in the furor over the title...Are You Mom Enough?...The Mom in question is surprised at the blowback shes getting from her provocative pose with her 4 year old. Her challenge to other Moms to be more like her. Really? There is something wrong with what shes done on so many levels. First off shes put her son in a position that not now, but down the road, will make him the butt of boob jokes. She used him for her own celebrity seeking campaign. She talks about attachment parenting, letting kids wean themselves. So, what if he decided 8 or 10 would be fine? Would she allow that? Where is the line where you go from a nurturing mother to someone who is abusing their child? And when was the last time a nursing Mom had her child stand on a chair to reach her. Cant say as I remember doing that! Once they are old enough to belly up to the bar so to speak they can open the fridge and get a glass of milk, or juice as the case may be they dont need Mom for nutrition. There is a point where this becomes more about the mother not being able to allow her son to grow up. Its attachment parenting alright. Maybe what she needs is another baby or a job, something that wont allow her to mother her son to the point of smothering him. Believe me, being in the media I know that a catchy headline and a provocative picture are prerequisites if you want a piece to trend on twitter and be a star in social media. Its all about competition for the eyeballs and ears, but when you throw a 4 year old into the mix youre treading on dangerous territory.

Instead of a run-ofthe-mill item pulled off a store shelf, a personalized gift can feature a name, date or sentiment right on the gift itself. Think about giving Dad a personalized plaque that designates his work area in the garage or a pocket lighter or photo frame engraved with a special message or his name. An embroidered bath robe, or a golf bag embroidered with his initials may also be a special treat. As the adage goes, The way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Take advantage of these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinarythemed items. Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook by his favorite Food Network(TM) personality.

Dissolve Your Self Doubt


By Justin Popovic Success Coach www.igniteyouressence.com
All of us have great skills and abilities that we have been born with or that have come to us very naturally. Some people tap into these talents and use them to create exciting opportunity in their lives. Many people, however, never fully express themselves and their own capabilities and they pay a great price for it. Take a close look at anyone who has suppressed themselves in at least one area of their life. They had a talent of some sort but decided not to pursue it any longer for one reason or another; failure, ridicule, pain and so on. In essence, they gave up on a dream. What you will notice is that people who have gone through this kind of experience tend to carry some kind of burden with them. There is a part of them that always wonders what might have been if they had not given up on their dream. The entire dilemma has been caused by one root issue and it debilitates huge numbers of people all of the time. That issue is self doubt. When you doubt yourself or your ability to persist in the face of adversity, you immediately cut yourself off from the internal strength and the resourcefulness required to succeed in life. Think about professionals, in any arena, who are at the top of their game. They are admired and respected by everyone and you know by watching them, that there isnt a shadow of doubt in their mind that they have what it takes to accomplish their goals. Even when they miss the mark or have a temporary set back, they have conditioned themselves to move forward with the knowing that their next attempt will be successful. The key word here is conditioning. These elite professionals have carefully and repeatedly programmed their mind with thoughts of success, winning and self confidence. Very often it was done deliberately with the understanding that peak confidence comes as a result of practice. Just like you practice if you want to be a better singer, athlete, speaker or business person. When you learn how to dissolve your own self doubt and replace that doubt with a strong, confident inner voice that tells you to keep going in the face of adversity, you allow all of your natural talents flow. When you reach this level of life, you automatically feel happier and you look for more opportunity to get even better at what already comes naturally.

House-building team ready to leave for Guatemala


After months of planning, preparation and fundraising, the Guatemala team is now in the final stages of getting ready to build homes for families in Paramous. In the very early hours on June 30, they will be departing Caledon East en route to Guatemala City via Miami, and beginning what promises to be a life-changing experience. Trudy Messer, member of the team reports, As we now plan such details as luggage, getting to the airport (it is very early!), medical kits, what we can do for the children, etc. we cant help but reflect on the truly wonderful support we have received. Our church family has been with us all the way, both in prayers and with financial contributions, for which we are so very blessed and grateful. With our last two events, the Spring Fling Dinner and Auction we raised over $2,750. And the Yard Sale - well, who knew that all those treasures and baked goods, not to mention Joes hot dogs, could be transformed into over $1,220! But, it was not just St. James - the wider community has also embraced this mission, and the team has received special support from many, with special thanks to: Councillor Richard Whitehead and Brookfield Homes here in Caledon East, for their generous support; the students of Mayfield Secondary School Zonta Club, who have chosen the Mission as their focus for fund-raising this year, and so far have collected $1,500 in pledges; the students of Caledon East Public School and their enthusiastic Jeans and Pocket Change campaign; the lady that knitted 100 little dolls for the children at the Mission; a young 7-year-old girl in Bolton, whose mother had heard about the Mission and instead of presents at her birthday party, the mothers and children collected a huge laundry basket overflowing with pencil cases and school supplies for other children so much less fortunate; a parishioner s mother who campaigned door to door in England to raise enough for a house; and A client of a team member who donated because the member didnt charge him for his work. Funds raised to date are almost $15,000 and still climbing - almost enough for 10 houses more than they can probably build while there, but which will still all go to help the Mission. Once in Guatemala, there will hopefully be a blog set up to post news and photos on line so you can see just how they are doing with the building or whatever other needed work is being done.

BBQ Side Dishes & Desserts

Casserole Potatoes a la BBQ


Ingredients:

4 red potatoes, thinly sliced 1 onion, chopped (or 4 green onions, chopped finely) 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (alternately, you can try Herb de Provence) 1/4 cup butter, cubed salt and pepper to taste Directions: 1. Prepare 4-12 squares of foil (shiny side facing in) by rubbing it with butter to prevent sticking. 2. In a bowl, mix sliced or wedged potatoes with onion, garlic, basil, and remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Divide the potato mix between the 4 pieces of foil and fold into individual packets. 4. Place each potato packet on heated grill over indirect heat, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Turn over packet halfway through cooking.

By Shelly Sargent
We all love to BBQ during the summer, but I often get tired of the usual side dishes (baked potato, coleslaw, potato salad) and desserts, so Ive been working on putting together some BBQ versions of our favourite oven-cooked dishes. The logic here is typical for Grannys Kitchen: the recipes have to be fast & easy to prepare, include ingredients you have around the house and taste great. Here are three that weve tested and love. If you have other BBQ recipes you think our readers would like, send us an email and let us know (rsargent@sympatico.ca) and well feature them in a future issue!

BBQ Asparagus
Ingredients:

1 bunch fresh asparagus spears, trimmed 2 tablespoons olive oil Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Parmegiano-Reggiano grated Directions: 1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill. 2. Place asparagus in a tinfoil casserole sized dish; evenly coat inside with oil half the oil. 3. Toss asparagus in remaining oil and sprinkle with sea salt & pepper before putting in the tinfoil dish. 4. Cook marinated asparagus on grill until tender 5. Just before serving, sprinkle with Parmegiano-Reggiano to taste.

BBQ Apple Crisp


Ingredients:

I got this recipe off the internet (http://bbq.about. com/od/fruitrecipes/r/bl91013a.htm) and we love it! Like the potatoes, you cook it up in individual packets for easy serving and clean up.

8 medium apples, sliced thinly (tart apples work best) 1 cup whole oats 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg Directions: 1. Combine oats, sugar, four, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. 2. Cut in butter until you get a crumble mixture. 3. Layout 6 square pieces of aluminum foil. 4. Divide apples and crumble mixture into six even portions and place each portion on a sheet of foil. 5. Close the foil packets tightly and place on a preheated grill over a medium heat. 6. Grill for about 20 to 25 minutes. 7. Remove packets from grill, open (carefully), and pour into individual bowls. 8. Top with a scope of vanilla ice cream.

Specialist High Skills Major Transportation program holds car show


Students enrolled in Humberview Secondary Schools Specialist High Skills Major Transportation (SHSM) program held a Car Show on May 18th, offering fellow students, teachers and family members an opportunity to show off their custom vehicles. The show also offered SHSM students the chance to share a bit more about the program with other students and the community as a whole. The SHSM program, which was implemented at Humberview at the beginning of this school year, is offered to students beginning in grade 11 and allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector of the automotive industry, while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school. Students gain sector-recognized certification and career-relevant training. A few awards were handed out during the show, winners being as followed: Best in show - 1967 Blue Chevy Nova Loudest Audio Competition Team All Tech Best 4x4 - 2010 White GMC truck Program leader Mel Everett noted that its hoped the car show which was planned and executed entirely by SHSM students - will become an annual event, expanding its scope and popularity each year.

Sugar vs. Sweetener
By Katie McKeown Naturopathic Doctor Optimum Integrative Health Centre info@ontariohealth.org
As a self-admitted sugarholic, I cant let the day that we consume vast quantities of sugar with reckless abandon pass without commenting. With chronic disease on the rise, the debate around artificial vs. natural sweeteners continuing to rage, and the ever-increasing waistlines of our population, I thought Id take a few minutes and attempt to dispel some of the myths around sweeteners and naturally occurring sugar. Sugar, also known as sucrose, is both a chemically made and naturally occurring chemical that consists of two types of molecules, fructose and glucose. Fructose, found in foods such as fruit, root vegetables and honey, is the component of sugar that tastes sweet. Glucose, present in practically everything we eat, is a life-sustaining molecule for all life forms. It is the fuel by which every cell in our body functions. When to body absorbs glucose, it enters the blood stream and causes the release of insulin, which in turn, helps cells absorb the glucose and turn it into energy or store it for future use. Table sugar is derived from sugar cane and sugar beets. These naturally occurring plants undergo a rigorous purification process in which it is bleached and refined. Natural cane sugar and beet sugar contain significant quantities of vitamins and minerals, as well as small amounts of protein. The chemical process of creating sucrose strips the vitamins, minerals and proteins from the sugar, leaving only sucrose. The previous description would indicate that sugar is important, and thus, could not possibly be the cause of all the health problems we have today. While sugar is crucial to our daily functioning, as with most things, too much of a good thing can end up becoming a bad thing. We are programmed to seek sugar. Back in cave-man days, our biology taught us that things that taste sweet provide short-term energy and sustain life. This innate knowledge is present for times when food is scarce. Unfortunately, it is not turned off in times of plenty. In todays society, where food is easily found without foraging in the bushes, or hunting in the forest, we have turned a life-sustaining molecule into an addiction. When too much sugar is in the blood stream, the body releases large amounts of insulin in an attempt to force it into the cells before it causes damage. Initially, the cells store it for future use either as glycogen (sugar chains) or as fatty acid chains (i.e. fat), leading to being overweight or obese. Eventually, cells decide that they have stored too much glucose, and stop responding to insulin. This is known as Type II Diabetes Mellitus (the fastest growing chronic disease in our society). The other health problems that can be caused by excess sugar intake include dental carries, candida, depression, cancer, heart disease, immune suppression, and the list goes on.

FACTS

Sweetener Asparatame

Brand Name

FDA receives more complaints on aspartame than any other food Equal, NutraSweet Is converted by the body to formaldehyde and then formic acid (toxic) Significantly affects mood and behavior Can increase appetite Has been linked to seizures, migraines, hives, Multiple Sclerosis and nerve dysfunction No nutritional value 200 times sweeter than sucrose loses sweetness when heated

Saccharin Sweet N Low Known cancer causing agent in rats after 2 generations of use
300 times sweeter than sucrose Is not recommended in pregnancy Cannot be consumed by those with allergies to sulfa drugs Associated with headaches, diarrhea, skin rashes and breathing difficulties No nutritional value

Sucralose

Splenda

600 times sweeter than sucrose-does not lose sweetness when heated No nutritional value Is not at all related to sugar. It is a chlorine containing molecule that was initially developed as an insecticide Associated with bloating, gas, diarrhea, nausea, rash, hives, redness, itching, swelling, wheezing, cough, runny nose, chest pains, palpitations, anxiety, anger, moods swings, depression, and itchy eyes Associated with reduced number of beneficial gut bacteria in rats Interferes with absorption of prescription medication

What is Sugar?

Unfortunately, artificial sweeteners cause their own list of health problems. Cancer, depression, seizures, migraines, nerve function impairment and weight gain have all been linked to artificial sweetener use. The debate is heated and ongoing, with research wavering on the validity of the claims of either side of the argument. The key point to remember is that they are artificial; i.e. they are not natural and therefore the body does not know how to metabolize or use them.

Then Artificial Sweeteners are the Answer, Right??

Fruits contain fructose, which does not create the insulin spike associated with glucose While consuming large quantities of high-fructose containing foods (such as corn syrup) is related to increased cardiovascular risk, consuming whole fruits is beneficial to the body. Added benefits include high vitamin, mineral and fibre contents Apples, pears and dates can be added to cookies and squares for natural sweetness and a wide variety of beneficial vitamins and minerals. Honey is high in Vitamin B6 and riboflavin Excellent source of iron and manganese Contains many other vitamins, minerals and protein Antioxidant and enzyme activity Beneficial to health gut bacteria due to its nutrient content Anti-microbial activity known to help the immune system Equally as sweet as table sugar Not recommended for infants under the age of 1 due to immature digestive tract Honey can replace table sugar in any recipe at a 1:1 ratio

Fruits

Excellent source of manganese (2 Tbsp. = 37.7% daily requirements) Contains zinc, potassium and calcium Has been shown to inhibit two sugarmetabolizing enzymes associated with Type 2 Diabetes. Contains antioxidant enzymes that reduce free radical damage to cells Maple syrup can replace table sugar in any recipe at a 1:1 ratio

Maple Syrup

Honey

Is Sugar Really a Problem?

While artificial sweeteners and excess sugar are known to cause a myriad of health concerns and diseases, the fact remains that sugar is a crucial element to both pleasure and health. So the question arises, how do you ensure that you get enough sugar without adversely affecting your health? The answer is to choose unrefined, naturally occurring foods and to consume those high in sugar in moderation. Below is a list of sources of naturally occurring sugars. Honey and maple syrup can be used to substitute for table sugar, as they are equal in sweetness, but contain far more beneficial nutrients then simply glucose. Certain fruits can also be substituted for table sugar in baking for more interesting and nutritious baked goods. Vegetables are composed of complex carbohydrates (or starch), which are very long chains of glucose. These starches are broken down and absorbed slowly over time, reducing the insulin spike associated with simple carbohydrates (table sugar). Added benefits include high vitamin, mineral and fibre contents Beets, pumpkin and carrots can be used in baking such as cakes and breads to add sweetness and a variety of other important nutrients

So What are We Supposed to Do?

Tales from The Road Less Graveled


By Deb Robertson
On the May long weekend, I looked at the garden, At the bare bits of lawn and the soil that had hardened. The bulbs I had planted were now breaking thru, And the lawn was well wintered with bird seed and poo. The buds were all breaking, the sky was all clear. The leaves needed raking since the fall of last year. I got a GREAT BIG IDEA - knew what had to be done A trip to the garden centre would be long weekend fun! We drove there and hoped that in leisurely fashion, We would wander and wonder with botanical passion. Instead, we were greeted with the sight of the cars Stretching miles down the highway with the same dream as ours And the crowds we could see were a frightening sight, All clambering to get their gardens just right. So, determined to leave with the items we sought, We started our quest for a good parking spot. My vision of grandeur, as I had unearthed it, Was fading away and just didnt seem worth it So my husband decided that he would run in, While I circled the lot with the sun on my skin. I reminded him not to be long, or go far, As the A/C had stop blowing cold in my car. I was stuck to the seat - I wanted to flee The crowds were increasing I needed to pee! So as he disappeared in the retailing maze, I sweated and fretted from parking delays. A half hour passed of me driving around, In a slow motion, heat stroking, sun blazing down. Then he finally returned with a basket in tow, Just a small bag of soil and some flowers to go. Back at the relative peace of our yard, I no longer felt like a gardening die hard. The prospect of digging and planting and seeding, Was usurped by the need for a poop scoop and weeding. So I got another idea in my head, Perhaps just an afternoon nap-time instead! The GREAT BIG IDEA someday will be sublime If I do it in stages and just take my time. The seeds and the weeds and the blooms and the flowers, Will take patience and pleasure - and hours and hours And if more long weekend GREAT BIG IDEAS try to enter I will visit my garden - NOT my gardening centre Alton P.S. students, staff, community volunteers and parents put on a memorable, toe-tapping, funny, wicked-witch-ofthe-west-scary, spectacular show. How do students remember so many lines and actions for a full length presentation like that? I have learned never to underestimate what students can do with direction, support, help, practice and positive reinforcement. Congratulations to Alton Public School the world is your stage.

By Stan Cameron Public School Trustee Peel District School Board
Caledons 2012 Award of Excellence Recipients
lessons, strategies and character strength messages to all of Caledons (both the public and separate school boards) grade 6 students. Officer Gord retires from his OPP position at the end of June, 2012 and on behalf of all PDSB students, parents and staff we offer a huge thank you and our sincere best wishes. Candice Rowley lives in Caledon East and works as the office manager at Rowntree Public School in Brampton. But she does much more than manage an office. Candice received an Award of Excellence because for 25 years now she has been going above and beyond to help children, families, teachers and staff. The nomination comments were read aloud at the board office, while Candace stood between Director Tony Pontes and Board Chair Janet McDougald. The over flow crowd of supporters learned that Candace: cares deeply about people and helps everyone in need, leads the schools fund raising efforts, helps to offer a once-a-week lunch program, started up a Craft Club for students who may be unable to go out for recess and started a program to help families in need of items such as winter clothing and boots at special times of the year, such as Christmas. One of Candaces colleagues said this award was for all the lunches she missed at school and all the suppers she missed at home. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary people is that little extra. Congratulations Pat, Officer Gord and Candice.

During the last two weeks of June most of our elementary schools will be hosting their graduation

Graduation Ceremonies Loom

ceremonies. I look forward to attending as many ceremonies as I can get to. The limited time to hold graduation ceremonies means many will have to be held at the same time, on the same day. I look forward to celebrating with schools I couldnt get to last June. Congratulations to all of our Caledon school grads. You did it.

Awards of Excellence are presented by the Peel District School Board to staff, students, volunteers and business partners who have made exemplary and unique contributions to public education in Peel. Thirty individuals were presented with this award at the end of April. Three of the recipients were from the Caledon area. Pat Shields has been a volunteer at Herb Campbell Public School, where her children attended and her grand children attend, for the past 35 years. WOW! Pat is a wonderful, giving person who positively models what kindness really means to a school and its community. Pat has helped with many programs and projects at Herb Campbell over the year. Her love for children is quickly obvious when one sees her in the company of students. Its like shes a grandmother to every child she meets and best friend to every family, teacher and principal she gives her time to. Pat Shields will long be appreciated for how she puts the saying, ...it takes a village to raise a child, into action. OPP officer Gord Vandergretin, better known as Officer Gord to thousands of grade 6 Caledon students, is a 2012 Award of Excellence recipient for his important and outstanding work in delivering the DARE program. DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) originated through the proactive efforts of our former trustee Valerie Arnold-Judge. Valerie wanted to ensure that all grade 6 students in Caledon would have access to this vitally important information. Bob and Janet Fines, owners of Fines Ford in Bolton, continue their long standing efforts as the generous corporate sponsor for the DARE program in Caledon. Together, this triad of caring, giving and forward thinking Caledon community members have been bringing
