Bender (Hall makes the volunteer schedule for the shop), “A Nice Place to Live” plus all of the people who have been “just a phone call away” if Wilson needed help.

Gilbert also reminds people the shop offers a wide variety of items for sale “at a reasonable cost” and HST-free. “It’s a lot of small items that add up ... we do what we can,” said Gilbert. She noted gift shop revenue (about $6,000 the past year) goes to the hospital foundation to be put towards equipment purchases. This year the foundation will put the money towards an upright freezer. The gift shop is open Monday to Thursday 10am to 4pm and Friday 10am to 1pm.

Festival’s 270 volunteers set for 2013 season ELORA - In these times of greater fiscal restraint, more than ever before organizations rely on the contributions of volunteers. The Elora Festival is proud of and grateful for the hard work and generous donations of time and expertise that its volunteers unfailingly provide. There are 270 dedicated individuals who find an array of opportunities at the festival. These include: - sorting books weekly for the annual fund-raising Book Sale, May 3 to 5; - billeting performing artists in the summer;
- working as the backbone staff at the concert venues as house managers, ushers and in the box office, shop and hospitality tents; - serving at receptions; - assisting staff with office duties; - guiding the helm on the board of directors, and much, much more. The volunteer efforts enable artistic director Noel Edison and the management team to present four weeks of high quality, widely-varied musical entertainment in the summer season as well as in a winter series program.
During Volunteer Week, six festival volunteers will be honoured by the province at a ceremony in Kitchener for their individual dedication of between five and 30 years of consecutive service with the Elora Festival. “Last year our volunteers logged approximately 7,000 hours. It’s been said before but bears repeating, we couldn’t do it without them,” said Sandra Fournier-Coombe, coordinator of volunteers. For more information on volunteer opportunities with the Elora Festival visit www. elorafestival.com.

ENTERTAINMENT Elora Festival launches 2013 program and announces Juno Award nomination by Kelly Waterhouse ELORA - The Elora Festival is hitting the right notes for its 34th season, with a new focus and a line-up of performers that celebrates the festival’s past and future. Artistic director Noel Edison is happy with the summer schedule that includes 24 performances in three venues from July 12 to Aug. 4. “I’m happy with the diversity of the line-up. It’s more diverse than it has been in the past,” Edison said. The launch of the new season took place on April 10 at the Drew House Bed and Breakfast. On hand were representatives from the Township of Centre Wellington, a representative from MPP Ted Arnott’s office and various festival volunteers and staff members. Edison remarked on each of the shows, offering a perspective on how the program will appeal to a wide audience, beginning with the July 12 performance of Verdi’s Requiem at the Gambrel Barn in honour of Verdi’s 200th anniversary, performed by soloists and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, Elora Festival Singers (EFS) and Elora Festival Orchestra (EFO). Performances by the New Zealand String Quartet and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian are expected to be well received by audiences. Edison said the arrival of the Moscow String Quartet is a rare opportunity, as the festival will be its “only Canadian

A performance by Sonic Escape, three Juilliard graduates, will bring a lively performance with Circle the Sea. “They make it fun and exciting,” Edison said. The 100th Anniversary of Benjamin Britten will be a celebration of the acclaimed artist’s works, performed at St. John’s Church. Leahy and Steven Page are well known Canadian acts, sure to attract audiences of all ages. Coronation will be a celebration of the Queen’s 60th
anniversary, which Edison said will include video footage of the event paired with actors performing a short re-enactment of the spectacle. “I want all the ladies to come in fascinators,” said Sharon Rice, lead administrator of the festival, suggesting audiences make Coronation a Royal affair. The Mikado on Aug. 3 will be a showcase of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic operetta. “I have a special cast of eight soloists,” Edison said, adding the performance requires tenacity. “You have to be a Gilbert and Sullivan specialist to pull this off.” With many other perfor-

mances on the schedule, Edison says the Aug. 4 finale of Show Tunes will be a cabaret event. “It’s a party of show tunes,” Edison said, noting the stage will move to the centre of the Gambrel Barn. “The series is a taste of what the community loves.” Mayor Joanne Ross-Zuj was present for the launch, telling the audience, “The whole program is such a signature of our community.” She referred to the pride she feels when other communities recognize the festival as “a pride I share with each and every one of you.” Key to that sense of community is the role played by more than 300 volunteers who make the festival happen. “We’re trying to get back to our roots as a volunteer organization and that has been very successful,” said Jeff Ostic, chair of the festival’s board of directors. “This has been a particularly difficult year for our organization, and all arts organizations,” Ostic added, noting changes in staffing roles and support of volunteers has helped the organization navigate the financial challenges. “We have had our challenges in the last year, but the board has embraced them and tackled them,” said Edison. “It’s very
encouraging.” It’s a trend Edison sees in his involvement with the arts in Toronto. He credits the support of the sponsors that have stuck by the festival and the new ones who are investing in the future. “We’ve had to secure our financial base and secure our future,” he said. “I’m not worried about our future.” Edison is excited about the 2013 Juno Award nomination for the EFS’s I Saw Eternity CD (the winner will be determined at the national award show on April 21 in Regina). “The Juno Award nomina-
tion is something we are exceptionally excited about,” said Ostic. Edison’s confidence in this summer’s festival stems from the support of the community. “It’s a craft, an event, and it’s so much a part of the lifeblood of this community.” For tickets or more information, visit www.elorafestvial.com.

differences of opinions and to share ideas and experiences. Through card games, like cribbage, the students improve their math skills and the seniors get to teach them. “Students have the reputation of being the technical wizards, but seniors are the pros at cards - bridge, euchre and cribbage,” said Zylstra-Savage. “This is an opportunity for students to learn from the older adults of the community and for the adults to engage with the youth. They have conversations after each game and snacks. It’s a fun atmosphere.” Senior Donna Wagenaar enjoys working with the students. “I like it very much; it’s an experience believe me,” Wagenaar said, laughing. “Hopefully they’ll get a little bit of knowledge on how to add and play the game.” Andrew Vis, a grade five student, prefers to learn math through a card game rather than in a classroom. “It’s fun to learn about other people, the seniors and what they were like as kids and get to know each other too,” said Vis. “I like it when we start up the game.” For Nicole Vander Meulen, also in grade five, it’s all about

They also promote positive feelings of community contribution and self-worth for the seniors.” She added the fun atmosphere allows students and seniors to share personal stories in conversation. To help foster that dialogue, each senior is matched with three students per table. Between card games, the groups are handed a list of topics to discuss, to illustrate

Warrior Challenge event added by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wellington County Unit has announced Mapleton will be the site of the first spring Wellington Warrior Challenge. The event, a fundraiser for the cancer society, will be held at Mapleton Organic, RR 3, Moorefield, on June 1, beginning at 10am. Billed as “Wellington’s extreme survival race,” the warrior challenge is a fivekilometre run that “demands endurance to trek through the unknown, courage to overcome uncompromising obstacles, and a complete lack of shame to sludge through dirt and mud all in the name of a good cause,” the society states. Last year’s inaugural event, held at the Cox Creek Cellars property south of Fergus on Oct. 20, raised over $50,000. The event will return to the Cox Creek location for another run this fall, on Sept. 21. “Being as the first one was so successful in the fall, we decided to add a second event in the spring,” said cancer society volunteer Sara Orrell. Participants can compete individually, but team participation is encouraged. For more information on Wellington Warrior Challenge go to www.cancer.ca/wellingtonwarriorchallenge.
rewarded when Noah Aitken fired the puck into the open side of the goal. Assists on Minto’s lone marker went to Will Dennison and Josh Gray. Owen Day earned the shutout in the Minto net. Strong defensive play by the team for the rest of the game held the lead and gave Minto the victory. After being on the ice 21 days out of 31 prior to the
game, including several long road trips, an exhausted Minto squad pulled off a well-deserved win. This year’s squad is the first AE team fielded since Minto’s amalgamation 24 years ago and they brought home an OMHA title and two WOAA championships. Prior to winning the Dave Neilson E Division title, the team won the Peewee AE division WOAA championship.

A weekly report prepared by the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) and the Ministry of Rural Affairs (MRA).If you require further information, regarding this report, call the Elora Resource Centre at 519-846-0941. Office hours: 8:30am to 5pm. For technical information, call the Agricultural Information Contact Centre at 1-877-424-1300 or visit the OMAF and MRA Website: www.ontario.ca/omafra NEW RESOURCE FOR SPECIALTY CROP GROWERS by S. Westerveld, E. Elford, M. Filotas, J. Todd Growers in Ontario have a new resource to help them choose and grow a wide range of specialty crops. The resource, called “SPECIALTY CROPportunities”, will be launched on the OMAF website this month. There are literally hundreds of specialty crops that can be grown in Ontario including culinary and medicinal herbs, specialty/ethnic vegetables, specialty fruits and nuts, specialty grains and oilseeds, and industrial crops. Due to limited research and experience with many of these crops, there has been very little written information available to Ontario growers looking for a new crop to grow. The research that has been conducted on these crops in Ontario has often been forgotten over time without a permanent database to provide those results to the public – until now. Ministry staff along with University of Guelph colleagues, assembled a team of researchers from the University of Guelph, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Erie Innovation and Commercialization, and Vineland Research and Innovation Centre to pull together all of the available research on specialty crops and provide a single resource for growers. Initially the resource includes specific information on 100 specialty crops, which will be expanded over the next few years. Growers looking for information pertaining to a specific crop can use the crop category selection or alphabetical crop list to locate a profile on that crop. Each profile summarizes background information on the crop, its growth habit, and specific agronomic information such as plant spacing, fertility, irrigation, soil type, harvest, and storage requirements. It also includes information on

OMAF and MRA Report
pests of that crop, such as a listing of existing and potential pests, notes on potential pest impacts, and how to find more information on pest management. Finally, the profile lists any research projects conducted on that crop in Ontario and other references used to create the profile. If a grower is unsure of what they want to grow, they can use the Crop Selection Tool to narrow down the list of specialty crops to those specifically suited to their preferences and growing conditions. The selection tool asks a series of four questions and the end result is a listing of crops that match the selection criteria along with an indication of labour, irrigation and specialized equipment requirements. Crops not included in the list could still be grown, but may require some additional site modifications. Just because a crop can be grown, doesn’t mean there is a market for it. Growers still need to find a market before growing any specialty crop. The resource also includes a wealth of general information on specialty crops including crop fertility, pest management, onfarm research, business planning and marketing, food safety, and an introduction to organic crop production. A particular challenge for specialty crop growers is a lack of fertility recommendations. The resource provides suggested approaches for fertilizing crops when there are no recommendations. Another challenge is pest management, since it is often unknown what will attack the crop and how to control those pests. The resource discusses integrated pest management, provides information on the major types of insects and diseases, provides alternative management approaches, and discusses how to determine which products are registered for use on the crop. The resource can be found on the OMAF Crops page at: www. omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/ in the “Specialty Crops” section. We encourage growers to contact us if they have suggestions for new crops to include in the resource or have information to add from their experiences growing and selling any of the specialty crops. Contact information is provided in the resource. This project was funded by Agri-Food and Rural Link, a program of the OMAFRA/University of Guelph Partnership. GARLIC MUSTARD John C. Benham, Weed Inspector Here is another invasive plant you should be aware of. It pre-
fers damper locations but will thrive almost anywhere. Garlic Mustard has a two year life cycle. In the first year it only forms a rosette close to the ground but the second year it produces a stem with leaves about 3 feet tall topped with small white four-petal flowers that have the ability to self pollinate and so are heavy seed setting plants. It flowers in April and produces seed pods similar to the rest of the mustard family. Each pod can contain 10 to 20 seeds and there will possibly be 100 to 150 pods per plant that are shed during the summer and fall. One seed can very quickly become a patch that keeps growing each year. Another trait is that it stays green throughout the winter and so is ready in the spring to complete its life cycle before other plants and so can out-compete the other desirable plants. Garlic Mustard leaves contain a substance that is toxic to insects and animals that might otherwise keep it in control. As well the roots of Garlic Mustard produce a substance that changes the soil they grow in so it is not suited to grow other plants that would normally compete with it. At least one species of butterfly is tricked into laying its eggs on this plant only to discover the larvae will not be able to eat the plant and so they perish. Another trick it has is to grow with an ‘S’ in the stem near the root and so if it is pulled the stock breaks at that point and the root remains with the opportunity to send up a new seed head. I feel its biggest threat is to forests in that it produces a colony like a mat that in many ways discourages forest regeneration with the result the forest deteriorates. Any questions or wish a one pager, call John: 519-846-3394. COMING EVENTS Apr. 24 Grower Pesticide Safety Course, Elora, 8:45 a.m. and Separate Exam: 3pm.

FROM PAGE TWO
An IT Firm that will help your business run, so you can run your business.
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!
Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, don’t be pushy with authority figures because such an attitude is not in your best interest. You are better off putting on the charm and getting them to see your softer side. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, avoid getting involved in a family spat unless someone seeks your advice. Let your relatives work things out on their own and only offer your thoughts when prompted. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you might run into a snag with your spouse or partner over shared finances. Rather than settle issues this week, you’re better off waiting a few days. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, even if the people around you are feeling tense and touchy, you have an innate way of making them feel at ease. Humor and compassion are two great traits. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might need to make travel plans for a work trip in the coming month. Embrace the opportunity to benefit your career, but don’t forget to have a little fun when you’re away. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, now is not the time to talk about shared expenses or the division of labor in a relationship. You’ll only be starting an argu-

ment, and you do not need that right now, Virgo. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Staying neutral is the best way to go this week, Libra. Avoid any knee-jerk reactions and practice your poker face. There are some opportunities for fun on Thursday. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, demonstrate grace under pressure at work this week, even if you feel tempted to lash out at others. Take the high road and you will be rewarded. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, the perfect opportunity for a night out with friends presents itself this week. This could be the ideal way to unwind, so enjoy your night out with friends. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, although it seems like everyone is tense, you feel free as a bird. That could be because you have worked hard to free up time to get away. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, conversations with others may not flow smoothly, and you may have to come up with a way to reword what you’re trying to get across. Stick with it. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, though you’re praised for your marvelous imagination and sense of whimsy, you also know when to get down to business.
