The Holidays
November/December 2016 PUBLISHER Michael Rosset ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER Hope McLarnon EDITOR Catherine Daley ART DIRECTOR
I DON’T MEAN to sound maudlin, but sometimes
Jayne Hobbs Frances Mangos Natalie Sicilia
EDITORIAL COORDINATOR
just asking someone what they’re doing for ‘the holidays’ can evoke a sweeping range of emotions. We all come from distinctive backgrounds with a variety of traditions. Perhaps when you were a child, your grandmother hosted the holiday dinner, followed by your parents who were keen to establish their own customs with their young children – that’s if you came from a conventional family. The holidays can look, and feel, very different in a single-parent household, in an adoptive family, with friends who feel like family, or for those who find themselves alone at this time of year. If you raised children, the magical years seem fleeting, and soon you find that your children are creating their own memories. If in a relationship, your kids may choose to alternate years with each other’s family. A similar arrangement may apply if you and your-once significant other are no longer together. The combinations and possibilities are endless. An old friend of mine used to host a ‘Waifs and Orphans’ dinner. It didn’t necessarily mean that the guests were without family, but they may have been displaced due to their job, or maybe it was the year that the in-laws got their turn. Whatever the reason, these gatherings were relaxed and lots of fun, because no one had to worry about family dynamics or great Aunt Jane tipping back a wee too much sherry. Being at this stage of life is part of the cycle of life. We learn to adapt, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t find a new way of doing things – a new way to celebrate. Maybe this is the year that you really want to shake things up and take a trip. If so, we can help with that. Tracy Hanes’ article on Fox Harb’r Resort is a possible destination, or scroll through previous issues on active-live.ca for other great ideas. Have you recently scaled down? Check out Jane Lockhart’s condominium, along with her helpful holiday decorating tips for smaller spaces. Of course, we have lots of rejuvenating suggestions in our Body & Soul section so that you can start your New Year off right, as well as financial and tech advice. And because we’re all about homes, make a list of the communities that you’ll want to visit – 2017 just might be the year that you choose to relocate. From all of us at HOMES Publishing Group, enjoy the holiday season!

BLYTHWOOD HOMES: Niagara Region’s Most Meticulous Homebuilder There’s a good reason why Blythwood Homes’ building sites sell out so fast: It’s because smart people know good quality and understand the logic of moving to one of Canada’s most livable areas.
QUALITY
Few builders offer the quality that’s included in every Blythwood Home. If you compare Blythwood’s standards to those of other builders you’ll realize they are above and beyond many other builders’ upgrades.
LOCATION
It’s always been said that real estate is all about location. No one says this better than Blythwood Homes, as they build exclusively in Niagara Region’s most desirable locations.
VALUE
Best of all, is the exceptional value inherent to Blythwood Homes. Comparable homes in the GTA would easily run into seven figures and wouldn’t be as well constructed.

[FINANCE]
Seasonal Splurging During the month of December, Canadians spend more money on goods and services than at any other time of the year. Statistics Canada reports that when it comes to items like toys, games and electronics, we spend almost twice as much as we normally would. Last year, the average Canadian spent approximately $1,551 on holiday shopping, and the lion’s share went towards travel and gifts.
SAVE on decorations
A savvy shopper picks up holiday decorations that go on sale at the end of last season in preparation for the next season. Retailers start slashing prices on Boxing Day, and prices generally go down well into the New Year. If you weren’t thinking that far ahead, not to worry. Start by searching second-hand thrift stores, and it’s amazing what you can find at Dollarama. Also, check online sites. I like to scroll the buy and sell sites on Facebook to see what others are selling.
SAVE on friends’ gifts
The holidays should be all about the children. With your adult friends, consider a Secret Santa exchange – maybe one at work, with family and different groups of friends. This eliminates the added stress of buying for an extended social circle or adult family members. Set a spending cap for all to follow. If your family can’t get together over the holidays, draw names and use free sites like elfster.com.

SPLURGE on baking items
Baked good are often a timehonoured ingredient of the holidays, and the preparation of said sweets an event to be shared. If you’re doing your own baking, you’re already saving money. Splurge on the best, so that your baking stands out. You can save by buying unique, secondhand tins to gift your cookies in.
SPLURGE on dinner
For many people, the holiday season is all about the food. There’s at least one dinner where everyone gets together. Splurge on this meal. Celebrate with that expensive wine you’ve always wanted to try. If preparation time is a concern, pre-order a fully-cooked meal that comes with all the trimmings. Breaking bread with family and friends is what the holidays are all about.
SAVE on travel
Holiday travel is notoriously expensive as airlines, train and bus companies inflate fares when the demand is high. If possible, take an extra day and drive to your destination. If you have to take other modes of transportation, try to arrange to leave a few days earlier to save on lower fares. By doing so, you have more family time, and jingle jangle in your pocket.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016
To maintain your holiday spirit and to avoid large bills come January, choose a few key areas where you want to splurge, and then save on the rest.
The monetary amount that the average Canadian spends over the holidays may vary depending upon the survey. However, there’s no doubt that it’s the most expensive time of year, and it adds financial strain to those who are already dealing with high debt levels. Assess your comfort level when it comes to splurging and saving, and have a wonderful holiday season. n As finance editor for HOMES Publishing Group, Rubina Ahmed-Haq also shares her expertise in our sister publication Condo Life. In addition, she is a regular contributor on CBC Radio, blogger at RateSupermarket.ca, and has her own website alwayssavemoney.ca.

Cutting the Cord
Get free HD TV channels without cable

ACTIVE LIFE
Antennas come in all different shapes and sizes. You’ll get the best signal from external rooftop mounted models, followed by those placed in the attic, and lastly by the morecommon indoor models. Indoor models are particularly appealing, as they can yield amazing results. They’re small, inconspicuous and don’t require a technician climbing up on the roof. Plus, they’re very reasonably priced – between $20 and $100. Flat, paper-thin models, made by RCA, Terk, Mohu and Winegard, can be less than half an inch.
“In southern
Ontario, some people may get as many as 35 to 50 channels, including many from south of the border.” Besides aesthetics and build quality, models differ in terms of what type of signal that they can pick up, cable length and range (typically 50 to 80 kilometres). Most antennas don’t require external power and some can even be amplified. Your channel reception will also vary depending on the location, and placement, of the antenna. It will work best placed closer to a window and higher up in the house. It may require trial and error, in order to get the best signal. In fact, I get three more channels in my east-facing window than I do on the west, and one less station when my metal blinds are down. I also receive a local channel

that appears crisper than it did through my cable box. Do some research to decide which antenna would best suit your needs, and, if you can, test-drive a model or two. If the thought of cutting the cord (i.e. no more monthly fees and saving thousands of dollars) piques your interest, now’s a great time to get started. HD TV antennas are available online, and through stores like Best Buy, Home Depot and The Source. n Greg Gazin (a.k.a The Gadget Guy and Gadget Greg) is a syndicated tech columnist, blogger, podcaster (host and producer), speaker and author.

ome people just can’t live without Cable TV – with hundreds of channels and seemingly endless program choices. For others, it’s getting harder to justify the ongoing expense that can easily exceed $1,000 per year. Many people are cutting the cord – dropping traditional services and opting to get their entertainment from popular services like Netflix. But, by leaving the fold, they are also losing channels that they’ve grown up with, like local news, weather and sports. All is not lost. By simply attaching an HD antenna to your high-definition TV, you may be able to pick up, for free, many cable channels over-the-air (OTA) – and in high definition. If this sounds like returning to pre-cable days and the era of the rabbit ears – it is – sort of. In most cases, these antennas truly are plug n’ play. You simply connect the antenna to your TV and perform a channel scan (a.k.a. autoscan or auto program), similar to what you did when you set up your cable. If you’re wondering how many channels you might be able access, TVFool.Com offers a free signal locator. Enter your address and it scans databases for nearby towers, and then provides you with a list of possible OTA television stations. The results are colour-coded to indicate the estimated signal strength based on your distance from the tower, and the likelihood of reception as it relates to the type of antenna and its placement. In southern Ontario, some people may get as many as 35 to 50 channels, including many from south of the border.

and Booth Savage
one china is the anniversary symbol for a couple who have been married for 36 years. It might be something that George and Martha would hurl at each other, along with spirited words, from the play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, but for Janet-Laine Green and Booth Savage, their banter is infused with laughter and affection.
Booth Savage, well known for his role as Team Canada’s Head Coach, Harry Sinden, in the CBC mini-series, Canada Russia ’72, is a Gemini award-winning actor (The Last Season), and has appeared in more than 100 plays across Canada. As a playwright, he has penned several pieces, including Savage Heat, Pajama Games, and Pillow Talk.
“In all the years we’ve been together, I think I have only heard Janet-Laine say an unkind word about two people – and one of them was me,” says Savage, as Green breaks out in hearty laughter.
Janet-Laine Green is the recipient of a People’s Choice award, and is a three-time Gemini and two-time Genie awards nominee. As well as appearing in numerous television series, including This Life, She’s The Mayor and ACTIVE LIFE

Seeing Things, Green is also a voice artist in animated series such as Jacob Two-Two and The Care Bears. A prolific stage actor, Green met Savage in this arena while rehearsing for a play called The Olympic Show at Theatre Passe Muraille in 1976. “Janet-Laine would come in from the country with her cool hats on,” says Savage. “And I taught her how to be hip, and with-it.” Green’s roles run the gamut. She says that, for her, acting is something that she just has to do. “There is no particular role that best reflects me. I think you have to find parts of yourself that may be hidden, but are still truthful. Every part I take on, I feel like, yes, I can do this.” Savage believes that as an actor he is constantly reinventing himself, and he’s partial to weird roles – the weirder the better. “I like dangerous roles, doing undiscovered stuff – experimental stuff – and working with innovative people.” Both Green and Savage are invested in helping young performers on their personal acting journeys. Green is on the faculty of Humber College, and previously mentored for Banff’s Women in the Directing Chair. “I see this playfulness in young people. They are so full of imagination with the freedom to explore – any role or character is possible,” says Green. “There is such a joy in delving into it all – such a questing. I was like that. I would jump in with all fours.”
“You wake
up one day and think, I’m so lucky. I wasn’t aware of being grateful when I was younger.” Janet-Laine Green.
Savage admits that it’s often his anger that fuels his art, and he identifies with students who, because their artistic side has not been encouraged, act out with anger and aggression. “I picture myself, and I reach out to that person,” says Savage. “You see the gleam in the kid’s eye when they realize that they can do this – when they get to the moment that the light goes on. What’s better than that?” The couple co-own Briefcase Productions, and over the years have worked together, both on-stage and at home. This past September, Green and Savage collaborated on a project at Humber College. Savage wrote a film script that Green used for performance purposes with her third-year film students. Two years ago the couple realized a dream by costarring in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Their son, Tyrone, directed the play. “The play is so dark and the couple fight non-stop. We rarely fight, so I was concerned about our son directing it, and how he was going to react,” says Green. “But, Tyrone wanted more yelling and screaming. We laughed a lot. I got to be outrageous in a way I don’t normally do.” “The biggest challenge was the memory work,” says Savage. Green adds, “Ah, yes, the memory work.” Green and Savage both agree that acting roles and film opportunities have dramatically changed since they were in their 30s and 40s. “Big time,” says Green. “There aren’t the breadth of roles out there for my age group.” “There is usually only one old guy in each movie,” says Savage. “And it’s the same 15 guys auditioning for the role – definitely diminishing opportunities in terms of that.” Savage says, that with age, he is a less-ambitious actor. “The fire in my belly to be an actor doesn’t burn as strong as it [still] does for Janet. I think that is a part of being older – there is a transition – a passage. In my 30s I had all the time in the world, but now it takes me two years to write a play.” Green is still busy with her acting career. Most recently she played the role of a grandmother who gets recharged by UFO’s. She’s also directing with their son in Soulpepper Theatre’s November production of The Chasse-Galerie, and is rehearsing for Tarragon Theatre’s production of Peace River Country (February 2017). When reflecting on her youth, Green says, “I really miss being flexible, in so many ways.” Both she and Savage roar with laughter at the veiled innuendo.

“I’ve been a dancer and physically active all my life. And now – the aches and – the bones. I don’t want to give in to feeling like my body can’t do things, but it’s a reality. I’ve transitioned from CrossFit to yoga, to Pilates, to walking. I’m being kinder and more reasonable to my body. As I get older, I find I am also more and more reserved. I miss being joyful – the silly part of me has been put on a shelf somewhere, and when I am with young people, I think, I want that again.” “It’s the mental flexibility. I’m preparing for the worst in that respect,” says Savage. “This is a new thing for me, looking back. I’m trying not to regret the mistakes I’ve made, of which there are plenty. I’m sorry for the people I’ve hurt along the way; I’m trying to make today right. I am trying to let go of the past and invent the present.”
“I’m enjoying our long marriage, our kids, our home,” says Green. “Over the past few years, I have a better understanding of what love is. I love and respect my husband more. He is phenomenal.” “She lets me have a girlfriend on the side,” Savage interjects wryly. “But seriously, Janet-Laine is incredibly smart and intuitive – her instincts are spot-on.” The couple share common philosophical goals. Green adds, “It’s our responsibility to create those plays, paint those pictures, sing those songs. There is no finish line. It is in the job that you have to find the joy.” n
Green and Savage work at maintaining a healthy lifestyle by tending a large vegetable garden, bike riding, travelling and holding creative salons at their sprawling, rural home. Over the past 25 years, this home has helped to shape their lives and that of their children. The property is now listed for sale. “I’m parsimonious,” says Savage. “As a senior your income diminishes and you have to learn to live with less. Janet-Laine loves to travel and wants to do more of it. So, the question is – do we want our resources tied up in a large piece of real estate?” Green and Savage have two children, Booth Tyrone Jack and daughter, Akela Kit. “Your children become great friends; you can share so much more with them than when they were younger. In their 30s they become actual human beings. It’s such a pleasant experience,” says Savage.
The previous owner, artist Derek Green (no relation), constructed the fireplace in the dining room, in addition to extensive stonework throughout the house.

HAIR & Makeup Ageless Makeup Tips
People can generally tell what you’re thinking by looking at your face – it’s very expressive. From laugh lines to crinkly eyes, most of it shows a life well lived. But age spots, rosaceous, dark circles and sun-damaged skin are difficult to hide. First, and foremost, apply a 50-SPF sun block, remembering to cover your décolleté, forearms and hands as well. Wait two to five minutes before applying makeup. Foundation: A light to medium coverage foundation is easy to even out. Liquids and creams melt quickly in hot weather. For longer wear and the best coverage, apply a mineral powder foundation (MAC or Bare Minerals) to problem areas with a powder brush or a sponge in a stipple motion. After approximately 10 minutes, you’ll notice a glow like you’ve applied an illuminator. Or if in a hurry, spritz with water.
Meryl Streep
Your Crowning Glory
Over the years, your hair has probably been the brunt of more changes than anything else on your body. If you have thinning hair, consider keeping it short, lifted, spiked and styled with Toppik hair filler to help minimize the contrast of your scalp with your hair colour. Or think about keeping it long enough so that you can put it up or pull it back. Extensions are wonderful fillers, and you only need to add a few for luscious looking locks.

Brows: Eyebrows seem to have a life of their own as we age. Reticent to remove the ones you don’t need, because the ones that you do need are no longer there? A waterproof brow pencil mixed with eye shadow, or an eyeliner sealant,
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016
can help to fill and shape brows. The sealant adheres to the skin and keeps them waterproof. Eyeliner: Avoid liquid eyeliners. Instead, try using a soft black, dark brown or steel-grey eye shadow dropped along your lash line, and then smudged according to your eye shape. A gel liner or a waterproof eye pencil on the inside rim of your upper lid is one of my favourite techniques. It gives a graceful strength to the eye, without a harsh look. Lashes: Faux lashes are a great time saver – and esteem builder. Check out my application video at http://bit. ly/2cKeiTJ Experiment with your fashionista level.

Behind the art and the science
REVITALIZATION TIPS ◆ Block out all the chatter that’s telling
you what’s right or wrong, and begin to search your own soul for what you truly believe would offer you the best prospects to a full recovery. ◆ Identify your specific needs and set
While working as a nurse over the last three decades, I’ve been privileged to care for people (of all ages) who may be experiencing various forms of physical, emotional or spiritual trauma. Trauma can refer to any distressing event that affects your body or soul. It’s an invasion of your entire being, and we are healthiest when we acknowledge it, and then nurture it. We all have a story – one that is fascinating and unique. It’s remarkable what the human body and spirt can endure, and then overcome - it never ceases to amaze me. Alternative therapy options are on the rise and, as a result, there are many choices when it comes to Holistic healing.
PLAN A RECOVERY PROGRAM Following recent back surgery, I have been on a holistic healing recovery program. It has taken a great deal of planning, discipline and patience to succeed. Proper rehabilitation takes time – often months and months. I’ve been very mindful during this experience, and have sought out experts to help me to do it right. Not only did I need to recover from the physical and emotional trauma of preparing for, and then going through, major surgery (and any surgery is major), I was in an extremely weakened state as a result of having lived in tremendous pain, along with the associated frustration, for approximately one year. That, in itself, was significant trauma, and
28

had to be worked through. Holistic healing is an art and a science wrapped into one. It is an active process, which requires one to be open to new ideas and to surrender to our past ways of covering up our aches and pains, and just moving onward. For us, and for generations to come, it’s a practice that will help make our world a healthier place.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016
◆ Hospital admissions have gone from
days to weeks, to, literally, hours or a couple of days. We’ve been conditioned to believe that we now recover much more quickly than we did years ago – especially if we take the medications that are prescribed. The mind, body and spirit need time to adjust, heal, and recondition – without guilt. When rushed it leaves us vulnerable. ◆ Alternative therapies like massage,
chiropractic, acupuncture, kinesiology, body coding (emotional kinesiology), reflexology, Reiki, mindfulness, yoga, meditation, energy medicine, homeopathy, naturopathy and osteopathy, as well as plant-based medicines, psychology, cognitive activation therapy, art, music, pet and water therapy – are becoming more accepted in medical arenas. ◆ Find yourself a coach who can support
you on your healing journey. Having a positive influence nearby can help to mitigate the inevitable ups and downs. n

HOUSE CALLS – WHERE EXPERTS ANSWER QUESTIONS ON BEAUTY, HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
In this issue, Dr. Sam Hanna, FAAD, DABD, Cosmetic Dermatologist and Director of Dermatology On Bloor (dermonbloor.com), discusses…
Facial Aging
Q
I’m in my early fifties and I’m noticing that my facial skin is starting to sag, especially around my eyes, cheeks, jaw line and lips. What is causing this? Is there anything I can have done that is noninvasive?
A
There are few forces more inexorable than gravity and time. Throw in genetics, along with a little unprotected sun exposure, and that’s the recipe for the sinking and sagging that you are seeing around your eyes and lower face. All of these forces conspire to weaken, and reduce, your skin collagen that gives your face its fullness and structure, as well as your skin’s elastin, which gives it its tautness. When this happens, tight-as-a-drum lower eyelids become lax, wrinkly and puffy. A razor sharp jaw line starts to bow as jowls appear. And the corners of the mouth start to curl down into a perma-frown.
Derma Filler Products: Where the loss of fullness and volume under the skin is apparent, the use of dermal filler products can help to replace the base, and return a youthful fullness to the overlying skin. These products are gently injected under the skin by a dermatologist to give a subtle lift, and help to support aging skin. Energy-based devices: Thermage is a safe radiofrequency energy that is a wonderful tool to address the upper layers of the skin where it has become crinkly and lax – often seen along the jawline, midface and around the eyes. For most people, a one-time treatment of Thermage will tighten the skin, but not appear too severe. For more significant sagging issues, more than one treatment may be required.
Before
Where to begin?
Of gravity, time, genetics and sun, the only modifiable factor is unprotected sun exposure. If you can change the others, please call me. My first answer to every problem is daily (or more frequent), high-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen. It is so important in the prevention, and correction, of these types of changes. If you require specific sunscreen recommendations, book an appointment to establish a personalized sun protection regime. Once you’ve taken care of the basics of sun protection, there are several good options to improve the appearance of sagging skin, to give back some of its tightness, brightness and vitality.
Two months after one Thermage treatment.
PRP: This is a newer method in a dermatologist’s toolbox. PRP (platelet rich plasma) uses the body’s own naturally occurring growth and healing factors. With this treatment, the skin around the eyes, as well as on the cheeks, neck and décolleté, resumes a smoother, more elastic texture. PRP is usually delivered over three sessions, spaced a month or two apart.
Once your skin is on the road to a more youthful appearance with one of these easy treatments, a personalized skin care routine will help to protect your investment. In addition to continued sun protection, products with antioxidants, skin brighteners and growth factors help to maintain the skin’s vitality. Products, like SkinMedica’s TNS Essential Serum or SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. Interrupter, are great at pushing back against the passage of time and the pull of gravity. n

Restorative POSTURES
Transforming chronic pain with Yoga BY HELEN PACH GOLDSTEIN hen dealing with chronic pain, many of us have been told, “It’s all in your mind.” These words may actually be the key to unlock, and relieve, much of your suffering. Pain is a real experience, and it has a biological basis. However, the starting place of the pain may not be where you think it is. Recent research points to a second source of chronic pain – your thoughts, emotions and memories. The mind and body mount a protective response at any hint of a threat, and this would be the case with chronic pain. Ideally, you want to deviate from that predicted response, and teach your mind and body something new. Yoga practices, such as breathing, meditation and asanas (postures), can transform pain and stress responses into chronic healing responses.
Using props, such as a wall, chair, couch, pillows, blankets, towels or bolsters, will help to make it feel effortless so that you can let go of tension and stress. Restorative yoga rests the body and focuses the mind on healing. or a rolled blanket under each outer thigh and knee, making sure that the legs are fully supported without strain on the knees, legs or hips. Lean back onto the bolster so that you are supported from the lower back to the back of your head. Rest your arms, and feel the front of your body ease as you breathe.
n Supported Bound Angle Pose:
This pose helps to release tension in the belly, chest and shoulders. Lean a bolster on a support (telephone books work well). Sit in front of the bolster with your legs in a diamond shape. Place a pillow

the hips and back. Sit crossed-legged on the floor. Lean forward onto the support of a sofa or chair. Place one end of a bolster in your lap and the other end on the support. You can hug your bolster, turning your head to the side. Be sure that your support is high, and sturdy, enough to avoid strain in the back or hips. Feel the belly and chest gently release in the support of the bolster or pillows. Simple breathing practices and restorative yoga poses promote a relaxation response that may very well start you on a pain-free, healing path. Visit active-life.ca for conscious breathing tips. n

RESTORATIVE YOGA
n Nesting Pose: This pose is great for insomnia. Lie on your side, legs bent and drawn in towards your belly. Rest your head on a pillow and place a pillow between your knees. Rest your arms in whatever position feels comfortable. Another bolster or pillow may be placed behind your back for extra support. Observe your breath.
n Supported Backbend: This pose releases chronic tension in the back and shoulders. While sitting, place a bolster, a stack of pillows or blankets under slightly bent knees. Place a pillow or rolled towel behind you when you lie back (it should be positioned under the upper rib cage, not the lower back), as well as one to support your head and neck. If you need extra support, add another to follow the natural curve of your spine. Watch your breath.

f you enjoy sweeping oceanfront views, peaceful surroundings and vast unspoiled wilderness, paired with ultra-luxurious accommodations, attentive services and extensive activities, then Fox Harb’r Resort in Wallace, Nova Scotia is a destination worth considering – not only for a holiday, but for your next vacation home. This maritime resort, built by Tim Hortons co-founder Ron Joyce, sits on 1,150 acres along rugged Atlantic shoreline. As well as elegant hotel accommodations, Fox Harb’r also has residential ownership options that

include building lots, executive townhouses and custom detached homes. Joyce grew up in nearby Tatamagouche. He fell in love with the property, and created a resort with a first-class golf course that is threaded through the robust landscape. A Toronto-to-Halifax flight takes just two hours, and then it’s an easy 90-minute drive through pastoral countryside. If you have a private jet, or can charter one, there’s a jet port on site with a 5,000-foot runway. Or you can moor your yacht in the deepwater marina. The centrepiece of Fox Harb’r

resort has evolved into much more since opened it opened in 2000, according to Fox Harb’r president Kevin Toth, former president and COO of Skyline Hotels and Resorts. There is clay and wing shooting at the Sporting Lodge, and fly-fishing at two stocked ponds. The newly renovated Dol-ás Spas has a full roster of pampering treatments in six treatment rooms, and is housed in the same building as the fitness centre that includes a junior Olympic pool and gym, as well as a mineral bath and hot tub. Biking, hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, volleyball and tennis are all part of the lifestyle at Fox Harb’r. Keep your eyes open for all types of wildlife on land, and in the water. Executive chef, Shane Robilliard, serves up fresh seafood and locally sourced fare in the Cape Cliff dining room with spectacular panoramic views. A more casual dining alternative can be found in the Williard pub. There’s an extensive wine list of international varietals, as well as a selection from Nova Scotia. The residential offerings in Stone Harb’r Village include fully serviced half-acre lots with golf course, ocean and forest views, priced from $195,000 to $385,000 for those who wish to design and build their own custom home. Homes can be used as a principal residence or a seasonal getaway. Executive townhomes, with Craftsman-style architecture that boast golf course and ocean views, are available from $525,000 to $749,000, and include features such as 10-foot main-floor ceilings, floorto-ceiling windows, spacious great rooms, gourmet kitchens, and master ensuites with private decks, heated floors and walk-in closets. The towns
come in three- or four-bedroom layouts with three bathrooms, and range from 2,700 to 3,000 square feet, in addition to a 1,355- to 1,670-squarefoot basement. Fractional ownership of an executive townhouse is an affordable option at $169,000 to $215,000 for 12 weeks of use per year. Membership at Fox Harb’r, with full golf playing privileges and access to all amenities, is provided with ownership of a home or a building lot. foxharbr.com

A FIRST TIME PASTIME BY DAVID EISENSTADT When I was 10 years old, I shot pellets at cans in a vacant lot with a childhood friend; but that was the last time I toted a gun. Fast-forward six decades, and I’m holding a shotgun at Fox Harb’r Resort, while being tutored by the resort’s director of sport shooting, Peter Phillips. Clay shooting is a popular sport across North America. Phillips provided a straightforward introduction and reviewed the extensive safety procedures. I was outfitted with a safety vest, glasses, shoulder padding and earplugs, and learned how to mount the gun properly for minimal shoulder impact. “We take special care to prepare people,” says Phillips. “Many, like you, have never really fired a gun like this in their lives, so we have them hold the gun at their side while one of us holds on as well, then we fire off one shell.”
Clay shooting is a bit like playing a round of golf, for which the resort’s reputation is renowned – and it takes skill. My shotgun was cocked and ready, as one of the facility’s six trap machines threw a small, plate-size clay target from different angles, and at different speeds. I learned to place my cheek on top of the gun so that my eye looked in the same direction as the barrel. However, I didn’t hit a darned thing that morning, although many of the other novices that were with me, did. n

As Canadians, we often picture cold, starry nights, twinkle lights and glistening, white snow when we think of the holiday season. Indoors, there’s an image of a dancing fire, while wrapped in a blanket and sipping hot chocolate. These scenes definitely evoke the quintessential holiday season. It might be difficult to envision this special time of year if living in condo, but with good planning – anything is possible. After determining that a house was too much for me to handle on my own, the size of this condo feels just right. My condo isn’t large, but I’m committed to making it beautiful, festive and celebration-ready. I annexed my second bedroom to create a small den that opens into my living room. The west-facing windows are especially welcoming on cold afternoons when sunshinedeprived months can feel long and gloomy. To create a cozy, wintery feel, I purchased an electric fireplace that included crystals, instead of fake logs. Electric fireplace units have come along way over the last few years, and do an excellent of job replicating a real fireplace. It’s also a great alternative if your condo doesn’t have gas. The bold mantle and surround were custom designed in a transitional style so that the fireplace felt like it was always a part of the room. I added oversized glass containers with LED candles, and touches of black, white, gold and silver decorations. And, of course, a mantle isn’t complete without stockings. Framing one side of the entrance between the living room and den is a six-foot evergreen. Placing it in a planter elevates the style quotient. Orange-gold ribbon is wrapped around the tree, and over-sized silver, gold, black and white ornaments are nestled within the branches. I like to
mix both matte and shiny finishes, as well as different textures of decorations to add interest. To carry the nature theme throughout, I added a basket of pinecones and birch logs beside the tree. Check out the tree topper. It might seem like an unusual choice, but I love how it looks. Harmonization is imperative when living in a condo. It helps to reduce the visual clutter that can often be a problem when adding so many other elements at this time of year. Since I don’t have room to store seasonal decor, I make sure that what I have can be repurposed throughout the year – like lanterns, candles and lights. Adding a few seasonal pillows injects a practical holiday element. A small sheepskin rug adds a Nordic flavour, and is useful for warming toes throughout the winter months. And, what would this season be without a plate of cookies for Santa? I like to leave some out for visitors, but recently I’ve had to rethink this, as my permanent furry resident, Baxter my Beagle, enjoys them a little too much. Other temptations I leave out for guests include bowls of nuts, peppermints and chocolates – all representative of the delicious food we’ve come to enjoy over the holiday season. Within any four walls, you can add design features and celebratory elements that reflect your wintery visions and holiday traditions, while upping the character, and festive spirit, of your surroundings. n

WINTER Layering dding layers to the rooms in my home each, and every, fall has to be the easiest, and most enjoyable, decorating that I do. I think of it in the same way as I do with my wardrobe. Adding layers creates both practical, and visual, warmth. Plus, it makes me feel like I’m creating a warm cocoon for my family, so that we can get through the blustery months in comfort. After an afternoon of seasonal layering, all we need is a crackling fire and a hot toddy, and we’re all set for long winter evenings.

THROWS AND PILLOWS
TABLETOPS
Use these surfaces to show off your favourite textiles, and I’m not talking about just tablecloths. Don’t limit yourself. It could be a much-loved throw, coverlet, quilt or shawl. Lay it straight or angle it. Use the table shape to your advantage, and play with your collections to create a pretty tablescape – when dining, or on your coffee table. I use decorative plates, bowls, compotes, figurines, books and votives – whatever works with my scheme, theme and season.

CANDLES
There’s no better way to instantly warm up a room than with candles. Change things up by marrying your vases with your candles. Once again, it gets them out of storage and into action. Glass vases (especially coloured ones) add a wonderful glow to the corner of a room.
CARPETS
Most of us never change up, or move, our carpets, but this is a classic layering trick used by designers. Carpets help to define a space. With so many wonderful shapes and sizes available, the possibilities are endless. Use them in utility areas, entranceways and passageways. I love layering a smaller, patterned flat-weave carpet on top of broadloom, or I position it on a larger, under-stated area rug to visually draw you in to a cozy space.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016
DRAPERY
This is one of the best, and often overlooked, ways to layer and warm up a room for our Canadian winters. Readymade panels and sheers make it easy to create a second layer. Switch out lighter panels for those with a pattern, or a heavier weight fabric, like velvet. n SOURCES: Decorative accessories are available at boutiques across Canada, and at cobistyle.com

This is the best way to add texture, colour and pattern to your rooms. I have a variety of throws that I’ve purchased over the years, and I pull them all out and drape them over chairs and sofas, so that there’s a blanket wherever someone decides to curl up. Pashminas and wooly shawls are also great options. It’s a practical way to use fabulous finds for multiple purposes.

[IN THE GARDEN]
For the
A few years ago I received a call from a friend, David Love – president of Bird Studies Canada. He asked if I would be interested in meeting some people and hosting a bird-a-thon in Toronto. Since then, I’ve learned so much about backyard birding and share some of the highlights. BIRDS DON’T NEED US FOR FOOD | Many well-intentioned feeders of birds (as opposed to bird feeders) believe that wild birds become dependent on us for food. Other than, perhaps, on the coldest days of the year or when the snowfall is very deep, birds are very capable of finding food from natural sources. Like us, they will take the easiest path to a meal, and if it happens to be at your feeder, then that’s where they will congregate. The good news is; that you are free to go on vacation without feeling guilty. USE THE APPROPRIATE SEED | Consider what kinds of birds you’d like to attract to your yard and use the most apt seed in your feeders. Bird Studies Canada suggests: • Black oil sunflower/premium mixed seed to attract Cardinals, Blackcapped Chickadees, Mourning Doves, Dark-eyed Juncos, Song Sparrows and common Grackles. • Suet and peanuts for birds (as opposed to peanuts for human
52
P52cullen.indd 52
ACTIVE LIFE
consumption, as birds should not have salt) attract Blue Jays, Red-breasted Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, Whitebreasted Nuthatches and Hairy Woodpeckers. • Nyjer/Black oil sunflower seeds attract House Finches, American Goldfinches, Purple Finches, Common Redpolls and Pine Siskins. Use a nyjer feeder, and watch the bird population scrap over who gets the spoils first. • I have prepared a blend of seed that is amazingly effective for attracting songbirds. It’s call Bird Feast and is a Mark’s Choice product approved by Bird Studies Canada, available at Home Hardware.
WATER | This is the most impactful feature that you can add to your yard in an effort to attract birds (apart from a bird feeder). Birds need water to drink and bathe in. A half-barrel, or a full-scale pond or stream, works wonders. At last count, I had five birdbaths, and they are all being well used.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016
SHELTER | Birds need shelter to breed and for protection from the cold, wind and snow, as well as their enemies like hawks, falcons and neighbourhood cats – especially our feline friends. Tall, thick evergreens, like cedar, spruce, fir and the like, provide the best protection for wild birds. Bird Studies Canada is the largest, and most experienced, organization of its kind. Each year they depend upon the public – people like you and me – to help determine the migration patterns of wild bird species, as well as population growth and decline. You can become a citizen scientist by taking part in the largest bird count in the country in December. It’s not only educational, but also lots of fun. And who knows, you just might get hooked and skip the southern trip this winter in favour of bird watching. Register at BirdsCanada.org. n Mark Cullen is an expert gardener, author and broadcaster.

T
he Newport Collection makes its debut at Nautique Lakefront Residences by Adi Development Group. This landmark development in Burlington has been in high demand since Adi launched the project last fall. A definite highlight in the city’s sizzling market, Nautique is currently 85 per cent sold. In response to the high demand, Adi Development Group is introducing two new floors of suites this fall called The Newport Collection. Featuring all new designs, suites range from spacious studios to two-bedroom layouts. “You can’t get a home like this anywhere else, other than in Burlington right now,” says Tariq Adi, CEO of Adi Development Group. “Nautique offers a unique combination of a convenient downtown location, world-class design and uninterrupted views of Lake Ontario.” World-acclaimed Cecconi Simone designed Nautique’s luxurious interiors. Social-centric amenities include Nautique’s Sky Lounge, which offers the city’s highest vantage point to take in 360-degree views, including Lake Ontario’s sweeping shoreline. Residents can enjoy cocktail hour at the sleek indoor/outdoor bar, or unwind in the fireside lounge. In addition, Adi will be adding a

DUNPAR HOMES Better by design
F
or more than 30 years Dunpar Homes has been transforming key areas of the Greater Toronto Area. With an eye on classic architecture, stunning interior design and outstanding quality, Dunpar is committed to building dynamic, masterplanned communities. The ‘Better by Design’ tradition is evident in the desirable neighbourhoods that Dunpar creates. Affordable luxury is first and foremost, along with layouts that maximize living space on their exceptional semi and townhome designs. Dunpar Homes has a great selection of home sites currently under construction, and in the planning stages. Trafalgar Ridge includes a collection of 112 Georgianstyle, semi-detached homes and townhomes in an exclusive enclave in Oakville. The homes’ exteriors complement the existing neighbourhood, and each home includes a two-car garage. Artisan, hand-tumbled clay bricks are accented with natural limestone, attractive landscaping and stone planter boxes. Spacious interiors include nine-and-a-half foot ceilings on the main floor, quality custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite or marble counters in the kitchen, as well as master ensuites with double sinks and marble countertops. New home purchasers at Trafalgar Ridge appreciate the proximity to shopping, first-rate schools, parks and transportation routes. Real estate values are rapidly increasing in this area. Move-in dates are scheduled for early 2017. Townhomes range from 1,940 to 2,800 square feet, and are priced from the low $800,000s. The signature community of Heritage Gate is located along Mississauga Road between Sawmill Valley and

Streetsville. This prime area offers residents a smorgasbord of restaurants and boutiques, with easy access to Highways 403, 401 and the QEW. At Heritage Gate, a limited number of semi-detached homes and townhomes are priced from the high $900,000s. A grand lifestyle is promoted with interior floorplans that range from 1,800 to 2,300 square feet. Interiors include, nine-foot ceilings on the main level, loft ceilings and hardwood floors, plus custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite or marble countertops and backsplashes in the kitchen. Other fine details include crown moulding in the living and dining rooms, gas fireplaces with limestone surrounds, and optional elevators. Later this year, Dunpar Homes will be introducing a collection of 73 townhomes and back-to-back towns on the site of the Vincent Massey School in the Longbranch area of Toronto’s south Etobicoke neighbourhood. “Vincent Massey is actually a heritage school, and Dunpar will assist in the restoration of the school and will be giving it back to the city so that it can continue to be used as a daycare,” says Michael DiPasquale, director of operations at Dunpar Homes. “It was also the original filming site of the popular DeGrassi High television series.” New communities are planned for the ever-popular Etobicoke area, as well as an upscale neighbourhood close to Oakville Place shopping mall. Dunpar Homes continues to put their signature mark on all that they do. n

An exterior landscaping package includes a paved driveway, a rear patio and privacy fencing. Within the Gates of Kent community, a 1,300-squarefoot reception room, complete with a kitchenette, will be available to residents to host gatherings and family events. Reid’s Heritage Homes insists that all homes are built to Energy Star standards, which helps to save on energy costs and consumption, while providing homeowners with a healthy environment. Reid’s Heritage Homes was nominated for five EnerQuality awards this year and won three of them. Last year, Reid’s Heritage was awarded the Avid Benchmark Award, which is the result of homeowners filling out the Avid Ratings Canada’s GoSurvey program, measuring everything from the overall home buying experience, to the homebuyer’s willingness to refer other potential purchasers, including the number of referrals that they have made. Reid’s Heritage Homes has checked off all the desired must-haves on their new home buyers’ list, and incorporated them in to the bungalow/loft townhomes at Gates of Kent. n

he hustle and bustle of holiday preparations leaves little time for one’s self. This starter and desert doubles, and triples, beautifully. Plus, it only takes half an hour to prepare and serve. From my kitchen to yours – wishing you a safe, happy, and very tasty holiday season.

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 250g tri-coloured cocktail tomatoes, halved 2 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal 8 bocconcini (cocktail size) cheese balls, halved 2 tablespoons basil pesto
• Preheat oven 400°F. • Drizzle oil on bottom of a one-litre baking dish.
• Turn oven setting to broil and cook until tomatoes begin to blister and cheese is golden, approximately five more minutes. Watch to avoid burning.
• Serve immediately with toasted crostini.
Apple-Cranberry Crisp (SERVES 6)
1 can (19 ounce/540mL) apple pie filling 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup sun-dried cranberries 1 cup granola cereal stirred together with 2 tablespoons of melted butter Low fat frozen vanilla yogurt
