Wake Up Wellington: Program provides food for thought by Patrick Raftis
FERGUS - Each Wednesday morning, between 400 and 500 Centre Wellington District High School (CWDHS) students start off on the path to learning with a hot breakfast and a sense of community. The Wake Up Wellington breakfast program at the Fergus secondary school is one of many such programs across the county that provide students with a nutritional head start. The Children’s Foundation of Wellington-DufferinGuelph, through its Food and Friends program, is a major sponsor of the CWDHS student nutrition effort and also supports nearly 70 student nutrition programs at schools across the region, including about 30 in Wellington County. Each school program has its own unique elements and support systems, tailored to the needs and resources of their school community. The importance of a morning meal for students can’t be underestimated, said Chef Nicole DeBeyer, who coordinates Wake Up Wellington as well as daily breakfast and lunch programs at the school. “Studies have shown that kids who have a nutritious breakfast go farther and do better at school,” she said.
That’s understandable DeBeyer noted, as students can’t be expected to perform as well “if they can’t concentrate because they are too hungry to even think about sitting in a classroom for 75 minutes.” According to DeBeyer, there are many reasons why students come to school hungry - and financial need is only one of them. For one thing, she notes, “lots of teenagers don’t normally eat first thing in the morning.” In a farming community like Wellington County, she adds, “they may be doing chores and have to run to catch the bus. They don’t necessarily have the opportunity to eat.” CWDHS nutrition programs are open to everyone, said DeBeyer. That way, “Students who really need our services don’t feel out of place.” At Centre Wellington, approximately 60 to 70 students participate in daily breakfast and lunch programs. Breakfast regularly includes items like fresh fruit, cereal and bagels. Lunches generally consist of soup and sandwiches and often include special treats like stuffed potatoes. Each Wednesday, the Wake Up Wellington breakfast is the main event, with hundreds of

students enjoying a buffet style breakfast in DeBeyer’s classroom/kitchen. There’s always a hot dish, as well as fruit, yogurt, cereal, bagels and other dishes. Students line up down the halls leading to the buffet for the popular event, DeBeyer said. Wake Up Wellington began in 2010, a year after DeBeyer joined Chef Chris Jess in running the school’s culinary arts and hospitality program. Recognizing a need, DeBeyer connected with Food and Friends, which was offering a basic program of dry goods such as cereal bars to students needing breakfast, and worked with them to expand the program. In addition to assisting in obtaining grants to buy food, Food and Friends helps by providing food handling courses for volunteers and assists the school with paperwork and reporting requirements. The CWDHS program features a natural tie-in with the school’s hospitality program. “My students prepare everything, whether it be cutting up buns or making bread … they do it all and they do a good job,” DeBeyer proudly declared. The students also take a great deal of pride in their contributions, she explained. “There’s a lot of ‘did you try this?’ or ‘what did you think of my soup today?’” DeBeyer said the experience of working on the school lunch and breakfast programs is “perfect for our students.” The programs expose them to everything from customer relations to large quantity food preparation, as well as to food safety and other elements of meal preparation. “We try to focus on healthy eating as well. We talk about making healthy food choices,”
said DeBeyer. “Unfortunately, in our society, it’s cheaper to have food that’s not healthy. That’s why we always have lots of fresh fruit.” Wake Up Wellington and the daily nutrition programs at CWDHS are a major undertaking - and an expensive one.

“Kids who have a nutritious breakfast go farther and do better at school.” - Chef Nicole DeBeyer, Wake Up Wellington coordinator. “Last year we spent $14,500 on food,” to serve roughly 16,000 meals, says DeBeyer. “That’s about a bit less than a dollar a day for a kid to eat a nutritious meal.” The program receives support from a number of areas, including in the past year a
up and serving for the main Wednesday breakfast. There is also a crew of eight student volunteers who regularly help with set up and serving. “We’re very appreciative of the support that we have. I think the kids really appreciate it,” said DeBeyer, who noted

the need for volunteers and donations has been magnified by this year’s expansion of the program to include daily lunch offerings. “Because we’re expanding our program, we’re looking for more sponsors and volunteers,” explained DeBeyer, adding she hopes efforts to raise the profile of the program will pay off in increased interest in both areas. “I don’t know if all the parents know we have this program, or if they know their kids are participating.” Anyone interested in sponsoring or volunteering with the CWDHS nutrition program is encouraged to contact DeBeyer at ext. 546 or Nicole.debeyer@ ugdsb.on.ca. Donations to breakfast/ nutrition programs at CWDHS and other schools in the county may also be made by contacting local schools or through the Food and Friends website at www.livefreewdg.ca/donate.

On The Road Reduce fuel consumption to save money and help the planet at the same time Making a vehicle more efficient is a great way to save money at the pump. But drivers don’t need to get under the hood or have a mechanic’s understanding of automobiles to make their cars more efficient. In fact, a few minor adjustments is all it takes to make a car more efficient and save drivers, regardless of their mechanical inclinations, money at the filling station. Tires that are not properly inflated increase drag on a vehicle, which then consumes more fuel to operate at full capacity. Check the driver’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure, and check the tire pressure frequently to ensure your car isn’t working harder than it needs to be.
(MNS) - Reducing fuel costs is foremost on the minds of many drivers. Myriad costs are associated with owning an automobile, many of which are within a driver’s control. For instance, safe drivers are likely to spend less on auto insurance than drivers with a history of traffic violations or accidents, while drivers who purchase a vehicle with a high safety rating will likely spend less to insure that vehicle than they would a sports car. One of the costs associated with driving that some drivers may mistakenly feel is beyond their control is the cost of fuel. Drivers might not be able to control the price at the pump, but there are many ways drivers can spend less on fuel, helping them save money and helping the environment along the way.

A car filled with clutter is carrying unnecessary weight, making it harder for the car to accelerate and consuming more fuel than it should be. Clear out the trunk and anything inside the vehicle that isn’t needed. Air conditioning consumes lots of fuel, and many auto experts suggest rolling down the windows when driving at lower speeds. When you begin driving a little faster, roll the windows up and turn on the air conditioning to reduce drag. Spend wisely How you’re spending at the pump can also help you reduce fuel consumption and save you money. Many drivers avoid filling up their tank when visiting the gas station for fear that filling up the tank makes the car heavier, decreasing the vehicle’s fuel efficiency as a result. While that may be true, drivers who don’t fill up make more trips to the filling station, and those trips can waste fuel. In addition, when the gas cap is removed from the vehicle,
vaporized gas escapes from the tank, so opening the cap more frequently allows more vaporized gas to escape. Don’t pay more for fuel that a car won’t utilize. Some drivers might feel as though putting a high-octane fuel in their vehicles will improve the vehicle’s performance But that’s not the case. A high-octane fuel in a car that’s built for a low-octane fuel won’t improve the car’s performance or its gas mileage. Only purchase the fuel the owner’s manual recommends. For many new vehicles, that means 87-octane, or “regular,” fuel, which is typically the most affordable. Drive wisely Driving habits can also impact how much fuel you’re consuming. Driving habits can be hard to change, but drivers who start driving with a mind toward safety and reducing fuel consumption can take steps to do just that. Rapid acceleration con-

(MNS) Motorists are increasingly concerned about rollovers, which are more prevalent in vehicles with a higher profile, such as SUVs and trucks. Rollovers may be caused by improper tire pressure, bad weather, potholes and overcorrecting of a vehicle when swerving out of the way. Motorists can, however, reduce their risk of being in a rollover accident. Select SUVs with a wider distance between the tires in the back of the vehicles. This wider stance gives an SUV more stability than those that are narrow and tall.

Keep driving speeds within the recommended range. Higher speeds often contribute to rollovers. Slow down when navigating turns by taking your foot off of the accelerator rather than pressing hard on the brakes. Maintain proper tire pressure and regularly check. Tire blow-outs may cause rollover accidents. Distribute items in the car evenly so weight is spread throughout. Keep an eye out for potholes and other road obstructions that could cause the vehicle to go off balance.

On The Road What you need to know about motor oil (MNS) - When it comes to taking care of their vehicles, many motorists prefer to be overly cautious. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, there are times when being too cautious can unnecessarily cost drivers money. Motor oil, and when to change that oil, has long been a point of contention. Many drivers grew up being told that motor oil should be changed every 4,500km. However, that myth has been debunked for many of today’s vehicles, which should come with suggested intervals between oil changes. According to Edmunds. com, in 2010 the average interval for oil changes was 12,000km. In addition to changing a car’s motor oil less frequently, there are other things drivers should know about motor oil. Oil does not necessarily need to be changed before a long trip Taking a trip? While it’s good to have your car examined before embarking, if the recommended oil change interval is not up, then you do not need to preemptively change your oil. Such a change is likely unnecessary and will not improve the performance of your vehicle during the trip. Black oil does not necessitate a change Conventional wisdom once suggested if the oil on the dipstick is black then it needs to be changed. But nowadays automotive professionals are noting that black oil is doing its job and different additives might

be changing the oil’s color, which means the oil doesn’t need to be changed. You can use petroleumbased oil after using synthetic Another long-standing myth regarding motor oil was that once you use a synthetic motor oil instead of a petroleum-based oil you have to continue using synthetic oil, which is often more expensive than more traditional motor oil, in order to avoid harming the vehicle. However, automotive professionals have noted that these two types of oils are now often blended, meaning switching back and forth from one to the other is not likely to cause any damage to your vehicle.

oil that meets the standards set forth in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Consider an earlier oil change after buying a new vehicle Sometimes a new vehicle will need an oil change after its first 4,500km. However, this does not mean your vehicle will need one every 4,500km. According to Blackstone Laboratories, which studies motor oil, samples taken from engines during their initial 4,500km of driving had elevated metal levels from the camshafts and pistons. These elevated levels will not necessarily be harmful, but some auto manufacturers recommend a shorter initial interval just to be safe. Honda, however, includes

Of all the rooms in your home, the bathroom and kitchen are the two where you can really make a statement. It is of no consequence that the bathroom is often labelled as being the smallest room in the home. It’s still possible to make a statement, and a strong one, using luxury features and finishes that will be the envy of all who see them. These two rooms, more than any others in the home, will often tip the scales in your favour when it comes to selling your house and getting the most out of your investment. Ask any realestate agent. The ‘wow’ factor of the bathroom and kitchen is a huge consideration with potential buyers. ‘Wow’, or some similar exclamation will likely be your reaction when you step into the fantastic showroom at the Crown Bath and Kitchen store in Guelph. It’s a showcase of lavish luxury, superb styling and terrific taste. The displays are designed to show off just what can be achieved with the right product, expert planning and a true eye for beauty. If you are looking for expertise and advice on how to improve or renovate your bathroom or kitchen, look no further. Harvey and his staff will welcome you and work with you diligently to realize your bathroom and kitchen dreams. Bring your ideas, bring your questions, bring photographs if you like. If it’s inspiration and ideas you seek, you’ll find both here. Indeed, Crown Bath and Kitchen will open your eyes to some stunning possibilities. They have access to all the latest styles and trends, will work within your budget, and strive to make sure you get the bathroom or kitchen you desire. Your bathroom or kitchen can go from dowdy to city chic, retro to contemporary or Victorian to 21st Century. With their team of experts and un-
surpassed product knowledge, you’re assured of first class service and unquestionable expertise. Bathroom designs are more innovative and spectacular today than they have ever been. The finishes today go way beyond anything you might imagine. Incredible natural materials, like exquisite marble, gleaming granite and other exotic stone finishes create a feeling of sheer luxury. Various types of glass and exciting metal finishes, like burnished copper or brushed steel, add the perfect touches. No longer does the wash bowl sit unobtrusively in a bland countertop, but is flaunted and exhibited as a thing of practical beauty, either nestling atop an exquisite slab of granite or marble, or standing alone on an elegant pedestal. The water pours from a faucet that has been designed to deliver this basic necessity in the most stylish way possible. Simple designs, pleasing to the eye, yet beautifully efficient. The bathtub has been part of our lives for centuries. There’s something incredibly relaxing about settling back in a soothing tub of warm water. Repose yourself in a luxurious soaker-tub, or sooth your aching muscles at the end of the day with a therapeutic hydro massage. Older style bathtubs have also been revived recently with the popular claw foot tubs. If you’re concerned about safety, check out the walk-in tubs, designed specifically for those who may have maneuverability issues. Crown Bath and Kitchen has an amazing display of different styles of tubs in their luxury showroom. Whatever your requirements, the choice at Crown Bath and Kitchen is remarkable, and elegance abounds. Of all the bathroom innovations over recent years, the shower stall has become the most flamboyant. Some shower stalls today are almost

a room unto themselves, with lights, music, seats and easily room for more than one occupant should you follow an eco-conscious lifestyle. Facing a hard day at work might be more agreeable when you can start your morning (or nightshift) beneath a stimulating rain shower pouring over you at the perfect temperature while listening to your favourite music. Take a look at the ‘shower-towers’ too. Invigorating, pleasurable and relaxing, these multishowerhead units offer a full body showering experience. Fantastic! Crown Bath and Kitchen can cater to any size of room, so even if your bathroom is the ‘smallest room in the house’ it doesn’t have to be style-deprived. Dramatic form and function comes in all kinds of sizes, for use in a downstairs washroom or a main bathroom. Ideas and choices abound. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and very often where people gather. Figuring out a new design, or coming up with ideas for your kitchen can be a daunting task, so why not speak to the experts? Renovating a kitchen can be one of the most expensive improvements to a home, but you can vastly improve the look of your kitchen, and get a great return on your investment, just by making one or two simple improvements. A new countertop, for example, is a great way to modernize an otherwise dated space. Likewise, a new sink can also spruce up the kitchen, and a stylish faucet will just finish off the job nicely. It is so much easier if you bring an expert on board to help you with your style ideas. Crown Bath and Kitchen has a wide range of styles made by the best names in the industry, such as Aquabrass, Rubinet, BainUltra, Toto, Franke, Blanco, Grohe, Maax, American Standard, Vanico and many more. There are ready-made vanities for easy installation, or you can choose to have them custom made to suit your needs. If you don’t see what you want or need on display in the store, or would like to see more options, then ask. Crown Bath and Kitchen has catalogues ga-
lore with hundreds of options and ideas just waiting to be discovered. The beauty goes beyond what you see on display. It’s built into the first class service and undeniable expertise that you’ll discover at Crown Bath and Kitchen. Let them help you to design and build your dream bathroom or kitchen from the ground up. Over the years, they’ve made many dreams come true and will continue to do so, servicing the needs of homeowners, contractors and builders in and around Guelph and all over Wellington County. Crown Bath and Kitchen is a splendid showcase of brilliant design innovation, modern thinking, and traditional ideas. Truly a place where form meets function. You will be pleasantly surprised, and you will be very impressed.

ENTERTAINMENT Centre hosts 2013 Artcetera fundraiser ELORA - It’s time again for the Elora Centre for the Arts’ most anticipated fundraising event of the year, Artcetera. The three-day art auction runs from May 9 to 11 and profiles emerging, mid-career and established artists’ work which will be available for sale through a silent auction bidding process over a three-day period, culminating in a May 11 live auction and reception. The event not only raises much-needed funds for the centre, but also promotes and
supports local and regional artists as well (artists are paid 50 per cent of the sale price). “Last spring [Artcetera] raised close to $40,000,” said Joanne Grodzinski, chair of the event. “This year we plan to surpass that milestone.” The 2013 event features over 150 original works of art from over 100 artists, plus a collector’s corner of 60 donations, antique and curiosity items for sale that are donated by centre supporters. There will also be a
“wishlist” silent auction of over 75 products and services donated by local businesses. All of the artwork can now be viewed on the centre’s website and absentee bids can be arranged. There will be free previews to all of the works May 9 to 11 and silent auction bids will be accepted during these days. For tickets to the May 11 reception or more information, visit www.eloracentreforthearts.ca, or email artcetera@ eloracentreforthearts.ca.

ON FARM FOOD SAFETY: YOUR BUSINESS ADVANTAGE Using Designated and Clean Harvest Containers by Wayne Du Cleaning and maintaining harvest containers is a simple and effective way to reduce the potential for contamination. Follow these simple steps: • Harvest containers should only be used to harvest product. • Clearly label harvest containers to ensure they are never used for waste, chemicals or other items which can cause cross-contamination. • Inspect containers prior to harvest and occasionally during the season, discard those which cannot be repaired or properly cleaned and sanitized. • Keep containers off the soil/ground by placing them on a pallet or tarp to avoid contamination during harvest. • Avoid contamination by not allowing workers to stand in containers. Remember, containers and bins which contact fresh produce should be kept clean, sanitized and in good repair.

WI District marks anniversary and disbandment on May 4
HARRISTON - During the past decade the Wellington North District of the Women’s Institute has shrunk to the point only two of 20 branches remain active - Carry-On (established in 1938) and Beehive (1949). Little Ireland (1926 - 2012) recently disbanded and the Wellington North District itself is about to follow. The idea of a women’s group was initiated by Adelaide Hoodless in 1897 after her baby died as a result of contaminated raw milk. Hoodless lobbied with farm
organizations and the government to establish an association for women, particularly new young wives, to learn ordinary household sanitation practices, improved rural living and provide a social network. There are 60 Districts in Ontario. Wellington North consisted of: Arthur Centennial, Beehive, CarryOn, Clifford, Conn, Damascus, Drayton, Drew, Erin Township (Juniors), Farewell, Greenbush, Little Ireland, Maryborough, Maryborough Juniors, Moorefield, Mount
Forest, Northgate, Palmerston, Rothsay, and Teviotdale. Wellington North District will be 85 years old in April, but it’s difficult for a district with only two branches to continue. An open invitation is extended to all institute members, former members, friends, or relatives of women who once belonged to Wellington North District to attend a final reception in the Fellowship Hall of the Harriston United Church on May 4 at 2pm. Remaining branches will join forces with Huron Perth.

Anderson wins provincial honour TORONTO - Fergus native Patrick Anderson has been named Ontario Male Athlete with a Disability of the Year. The award was presented on April 18 at the 2012 Ontario Sport Awards in Toronto. Anderson, 33, played a key role for Canada at the London 2012 Paralympics, leading the team to its third gold medal in the last four Games. He finished tops in 2012 tournament scoring, averaging 25 points per game and first in total rebounds with 88, solidifying his reputation as arguably the greatest wheelchair basketball player of all-time.
“Patrick’s remarkable play in London was fuelled by a tremendous work ethic and uncompromising commitment to excellence,” Wheelchair Basketball Canada executive director Wendy Gittens said in a press release. “His contributions to the team’s success in 2012 are a testament to his dedication and passion for the sport. Congratulations to a deserving recipient.” The other finalists for Ontario Male Athlete with a Disability of the Year were Jason Dunkerley (athletics) and Garett Hickling (wheelchair rugby).
The following athletes received top honours at the April 18 ceremony: Patrick Chan, Male Athlete of the Year (figure skating); Rossanagh MacLennan, Female Athlete of the Year (gymnastics); Summer Mortimer, Female Athlete with a Disability of the Year (para-swimming); Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, Team of the Year (figure skating); Reg Chappel, Male Coach of the Year (swimming); and Jennifer Lee, Female Coach of the Year (badminton). The Ontario Sport Awards, established in 1965, honour top amateur athletes in Ontario.
Local teen earns lacrosse scholarship FERGUS Centre Wellington resident Molly Beckham, a student at Centre Wellington District High School, has accepted a scholarship to play Division II lacrosse at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. Beckham, who graduates
this year, will play midfield attack, her position on the Edge Lacrosse Elite U-19 team, based out of Oakville. Beckham was named cocaptain and most valuable graduating player of her club team in 2012, helping to earn a spot at the Ontario Summer
Games. In 2011, the team won a provincial gold medal, as did her box lacrosse team in 2010. In two seasons with the Edge, Beckham has played in the Mid-Atlantic Tournament and the President’s Cup twice. She plans to study exercise science at Lindenwood.
