RENOVATING for Return on INVESTMENT Article by: STEPHANIE HEBB

H IN K IN G A B O UT SELLING YO U R H O U SE?

KI T CHEN

Here are a few suggestions on where to spend a bit of time and money sprucing things up for maximum return on investment.

It is possible to update your kitchen without spending a fortune. Consider re-facing cabinets and replacing appliances. There are many options available for counter tops that won’t break the bank.

BAT HROOMS

PA I NTIN G Fresh paint in a light, neutral palette is an easy way to brighten up your space.

L I GHT E N U P Allow natural light in by washing windows and opening blinds and curtains. Use the brightest light bulbs recommended for lamps and fixtures.

F L OOR I N G Homebuyers are showing a preference for wood flooring. With many options available such as hardwood, engineered or laminate, flooring can be a cost-effective upgrade.

Buyers prefer bathrooms with clean lines and light colours. Consider replacing the vanity, the shower enclosure or the toilet. Re-glaze a tub in need of minor repair. And don’t forget fresh caulking to help the bathroom look shiny and clean.

FRON T DOOR As buyers walk up to your door you want them to have a good first impression. Think about a fresh coat of paint on the door and replacing door knobs and kick plates with new nickel ones. Tidy up the landscaping and add urns or potted flowers to increase curb appeal. When in doubt, a realtor can help advise you on what improvements could generate the most return in your home.

HA RDWA R E A N D F I XT U R ES Replacing things like cabinet and drawer pulls, door handles, light fixtures and faucets will provide an instant lift in your home.

How will I get you top dollar for your home? I’ll put my experience to work for you. • Expert negotiation skills • Extensive background in sales and marketing • Trusted by clients for over 20 years • Deep knowledge of the neighbourhood

TWAS THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS In 2009 Dan Meadowcroft and Frank Bailey sat down for coffee on the Lakeshore in port Credit. They talked about how they should try and do something and raise some money and collect some food for the area food bank. Shortly after a small group of people including Ellen Timms (Port Credit BIA), Charles Sousa MPP, Pat Anderson (Westaire), Dan and Frank sat in the lighthouse and discussed the possibility of having a family friendly dinner to raise some money for the Mississauga Food Bank and The Compass who were in need of help. Frank suggested Twas the Bite before Christmas, Pat said we will be a sponsor, Charles said I will do a turkey drive, Dan said I will get the food and make arrangements, Ellen said she would coordinate the money and be home base for the event. Twas the Bite Before Christmas was born.

Last year through a series of events in Port Credit $60,000 was raised tons of food collected and 500 turkeys were given out to hungry families. Charitable acts don’t just enrich individuals who give and receive; they serve as a uniquely powerful focal point for fellowship. Dan`s objective in founding twas the Bite before Christmas was to create something inclusive that would connect with the community`s natural impulse to give.

02 01: Celebrity Servers. 02: Hazel McCallion & Mayor Bonnie Crombie.

This is the 8th anniversary, the Port Credit Community once again will come together in community and Fight Hunger and Feed Hope and assist those less fortunate. No child should ever have to go to school hungry.

ALZHEIMER SOCIETY

FORGET-MENOT BEARS

Flynn is the name of this year’s Forget-Me-Not Bear. Every year in April, a kick off Tea is held at the Alzheimer Society Peel to choose which bear, its name and a pattern for the sweater it will adorn. All summer long many caring volunteers knit and return for “dressing day”. Each bear is dressed in a one-of-a-kind outfit which is trimmed with an Alzheimer Forget-Me-Not label. Bears are always available at the Port Credit, Briarwood, Brampton and Meadowvale locations during normal office hours. Save this date - Friday, January 20, 2017 for the annual The Forget-Me-Not Gala’s held at the Lakeshore Convention Centre. This year’s theme is Bond. James Bond.

EDEN

FOOD FOR CHANGE

den is not your typical food bank. With their motto being everyone is treated with dignity and respect it is very evident when you walk through the door and are immediately met with warm, friendly, helpful volunteers who help you choose your individual food choices. With a shopping cart you browse the cupboards that are set up just as if it is a grocery store. Each pantry has specific food choices such as soups and canned foods, pastas and sauces, rice and beans and toiletries and everyone’s favourite, the “surprise” cupboard. You are then brought into the fresh food section where an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables along with milk, eggs and meats are available.

A recent initiative called Learning Kitchen serves the need of the Eden Community by providing the opportunity to people from all walks of life the ability to improve their practical healthy cooking skills.

Think Outside the Can is having a huge impact in people’s lives. By providing financial support to Eden Food For Change they can provide more food, better and fresher food and can educate and connect.

04 01: Volunteers filling the food boxes. 02: Executive Director Bill with Susan & Melanie. 03: Chopping in the Learning Kitchen. 04: Jacqueline & Jamie Moodie.

Fresh Produce Box is an amazing program that is available for the whole community to access no matter what your status or income. It is a weekly program offering an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables that are even better than you will find in the best grocery stores. Now being a little skeptical myself and only wanting the best for my family, I have to say I was amazed by the quality. The produce is purchased by Eden at the Food Terminal early in the morning and put into boxes of either $10 (valued over $25) or $20 (valued over $45) that you order ahead of time. Good food for ALL!

A TAST E OF E DE N On Friday, October 28th more than 250 people attended Eden Food for Change’s 7th annual A Taste of Eden, sponsored by the Kothari Group, raising $50,830.96. The event featured a 4-course dinner prepared by Chef Peter Costello, a popular silent auction, fun ‘gaming tables and a cash bar that had wines specifically selected by Chef Costello to pair with the evening’s entrée options. A fun night for a worthy cause. To learn more about Eden Food For Change visit edenffc.org

Dance students worked with Colleen Snell and members of Frog in Hand Productions company to create storytelling movement that related to the space. Visual Arts students spent a day painting on site, In Situ with visiting painter Jane Mothersell, finding beauty in the decay of the pre-renovation site. They also contributed an installation, Winds of Change, and a bulletin board of drawings exploring 1943, and how where we work affects where we live. All visual arts students in the program visited the art installations contributed by members of the community.

In 1985, six Riverside students and two teachers disappeared from the Halls of Riverside Public School. To this day, they have yet to be found. It is rumoured that on the last Friday of each month, if you listen closely, you can hear the sounds of children playing. Are these lost souls still wandering the Halls of Riverside P.S.?

BETTER-FOR-YOU

BAKING

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

During the holidays, it is easy to veer from a heart healthy diet and lifestyle. This can be made even more challenging when it comes to desserts. After all, who can say no to delicious baked goods from friends and family? When it comes to baking your own treats at home, incorporating a soft, non-hydrogenated margarine can help make cookies soft and chewy. Becel Buttery Taste margarine is made with a blend of oils, including canola and sunflower oils, and contains 80 per cent less saturated fat than butter. It also has no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.

This holiday season, try this simple and delicious cookie recipe as your first step towards better-for-you baking:

FESTIVE

HOLIDAY COCKTAILS

The holidays are a time for celebration, packed with parties and intimate gatherings. Make your next party an event to remember by crafting cocktails in tune with the season. Get creative with the warm spices and seasonal flavours in these delicious recipes.

HOT BUTTERED RYE

CANDY CANE COCKTAIL

Fight cooler temperatures with warmer drinks. This alternative to traditional hot buttered rum combines whisky with hot water and ginger liqueur in a heat-safe glass or mug. Use your Vitamix machine to create a decadent topping made with heavy cream and a touch of maple syrup. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Candy canes are only available on store shelves once a year, so take advantage of every chance you get to indulge in them. Perfect as a dessert cocktail, this sweet treat combines vanilla rum, white chocolate liqueur, and peppermint schnapps. Add a shot of each to a cocktail shaker full of ice, shake well, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a candy cane or crushed candy cane rim.

GINGERBREAD MARTINI Gather some friends at your next holiday party to make gingerbread houses while you sip on gingerbread martinis. Prepare the martini glasses by chilling them in the freezer, then dip the rims in ginger liqueur and crushed ginger snaps. In a martini shaker filled with ice, combine ginger liqueur, vanilla citrus liqueur, coffee-flavoured rum, and a little honey and heavy cream. Shake well and pour. Garnish with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.

SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE SMOOTHIE Nothing says celebration like champagne. For a fun twist on a holiday toast, whip up a quick sparkling champagne smoothie. Combine your favourite fruit - fresh or frozen strawberries and peaches are yummy options - with yogurt and a pinch of nutmeg in your Vitamix machine and blend. Pour into toasting flutes, top with chilled champagne, and mix gently to combine. Cheers! www.newscanada.com

Dear The Wine Ladies,

ASK

A small group of us have recently started up a wine club and take turns hosting tastings. Next month is our turn and we would like to offer a selection of wines made with different grape varieties. The more details the better, as we plan on doing a blind tasting at the end of the evening. We are responsible for the white wines and wondered if you could recommend three that might improve our chances of success in identifying them. - Chris

THE WINE LADIES Q&A Dear C hris,

It sounds like a great evening! Here are three wines that will be quite discernable in their aromas and on the palate. SAUVIGNON BLANC would be a superb first choice as the aromas and flavors are very distinctive. Select one from New Zealand where they tend to be very aromatic and crisp with gooseberry, citrus, grapefruit and slightly herbaceous flavours. The next choice could be a full-bodied, oaked CHARDONNAY from either California or Australia. These wines provide a great contrast to Sauvignon Blanc both in their flavor profile and texture. The texture of these wines will be creamier or heavier in weight, similar to homogenized milk, while the lighter bodied Sauvignon Blanc might feel more like 2% milk, much lighter in weight. You’ll also be able to detect a dose of oak in the nose (maybe read the label to verify aged in oak, as most are) and a hint of toast. The aroma will be more of tropical fruits such as pineapple, as opposed to the zesty citrus. The final choice that we would recommend is a RIESLING. Opt for one from the Mosel or the Rhine, as Germany is the birthplace of this incredibly seductive, versatile varietal. These wines tend to be light, fruity and delicate, expressing fresh apple and pear in the nose, along with a suggestion of petrol and lime. They are very aromatic, have great acidity, due to the cool climate and are very full flavoured. These three varietals should provide enough drama in the glass to not only seduce your tasters, but also allow them to gain some confidence in identifying wines blindly.

School Life LORNE PARK

CLARKSON

OPEN H OU SE

The month of November has hit us at top speed, bringing with it the brisk fall wind, the anticipation of the holidays, higher heating bills and yes - many new and exciting things happening at Lorne Park.

By: Hailey Pascutto

SECONDARY SCHOOL

On November 2nd our grade 9 students will have the opportunity to join a family member or friend for “Take Your Kid to Work Day”, providing the students with their first look into potential career opportunities and interests. And as our grade 9’s have just begun their four year long journey, our grade 12 students’ journeys are beginning to come to an end. November marks the start of university application deadlines for early decision applicants, yet many students are still deciding which schools are best suited to their needs. Lorne Park’s guidance office has arranged for a “Lunchbox Series” to try and make these students’ lives just a little bit easier. These presentations consist of representatives from universities and colleges located both in and out of province whom provide information for the grade 11 and 12 students about each individual school. Thursday, November 10th marks the start of Term two for Lorne Park students, and during the following week, on the 16th, mid-term reports will be sent home. We also have a Professional Activities day coming up on Friday, November 18th - just in time for some early Christmas shopping! Our Student Activity Council has many exciting things planned for the upcoming month as well. November 9th will be a superhero themed spirit day, so be sure to pull out that batman cape. November 11th, Remembrance Day, marks an extremely historic and commemorated day not only at Lorne Park, but nation wide. The school will be holding a memorial assembly for all students, with the help of our music and drama departments. November 14th to 18th will be Karma Week at LP, meant to promote bullying prevention throughout the school. Student Activities Council, Mentors and Athletic Council will be joining forces to host fun activities for the students all week long. Spartan Spirit Wear will also be sold towards the end of the month, just in time for our final few football games of the season. Both the Senior and Junior teams have gotten off to a great start, as they always do when it comes to Spartans football. Keep up the great work boys! Lastly, but definitely not least, S.A.C. will be hosting a “Movember” event to promote and raise money for the fight against cancer. This will be taking place November 30th, so to all you young lads out there trying to grow a beard, you better get a head start!

SECONDARY SCHOOL

A new year has begun at Clarkson Secondary School and everyone is thrilled. A tradition in which the staff and students celebrate this is by hosting their annual open house. On Wednesday, October 26, Clarkson held their yearly open house. The open house gives their feeder schools and new students an opportunity to come to the school and be introduced to the environment, clubs, teams, and courses. Student representatives from each sports team and club managed their booth in order to connect with the newcomers, while the staff provided them with information on the school. The most popular booths include the football, soccer, hockey, and the Student Association Council stand. Sophia Tanner, Clarkson’s Athletic Association President, helped to showcase the school’s extensive programs for all interests. “Our overall goal for the open house was to make everyone coming in feel welcome and safe in this environment.” Sophia added, “We wanted to introduce the newcomers to our amazing clubs and teams early so they feel comfortable joining them. That will make their first year as fulfilling as possible.” With this year’s open house being an enormous success, Clarkson looks forward for a fulfilling school year and high hopes for next year. The heart-warming smiles and the friendly handshakes between students, newcomers, parents, and staff filled Clarkson with such a joyous environment it was contagious.

GORDON GRAYDON MEMORIAL

SECONDARY SCHOOL Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School has been, like every month, busy in and out of the classroom. All of our fall sports teams are actively participating in games across southern Peel. They are showing true grit at each game. Our coaches are very proud of their accomplishments. Our DECA and Robotics Clubs are also in action. They are preparing for regional, provincial and international competitions. Each Wednesday, the school is bringing awareness to mental health and personal well-being by hosting “Wellness Wednesdays”. During students’ period one class, they participate in activities that educate them on the importance of being aware of a healthy mental and physical lifestyle. We had a drumming team, come into the school, and provide students with the opportunity to express themselves through various percussion instruments. The students had a great time! It really gave light into the importance of using physical activity to relieve stress and anxiety each day. The Samsung Media Wall has finally been installed at Graydon. It is found in the school’s main foyer. It highlights all the major happenings at the

28 • C O M M U N I T Y C A P T U R E D . C A

school through videos, pictures and descriptors. The wall was one of the major purchases made following the school’s national Samsung Challenge win. The school also bought tablets, cameras, laptops and monitoring devices to support learning in all curriculum areas.

Gordon Graydon’s two Regional Programs (International Business and Technology and Graphic and Design Management) will open applications Wednesday November 9th. Students interested in these programs are asked to get their applications in early as there are a limited number of spaces. Applications close Friday, November 25th. At that time, staff will review applications and offers will be made Monday, February 6th. Remembrance Day, at Graydon, has always been a time to reflect and acknowledge those who have, and are, risking their lives to ensure we live in a country that is equitable, free and fair. This year was no exception. Our annual assembly hosted guests, who spoke with students, about their participation in World War II and recent overseas combats. We appreciate the time, our veterans, spent with the school community. There are a couple major dates to keep in mind this month. First, mid-term report cards go home Wednesday, November 16th. If parents/guardians have any questions/concerns about their child’s progress, they are asked to talk with the teacher. Also, staff have a Professional Learning Day Friday, November 18th. There are no classes for students. Staff will be involved in expanding their knowledge in the areas of supporting a positive school climate, Inuit/Metis Education and best practices in assessment/evaluation. Any student’s parent/guardian, registered at Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School are asked to attend our School Council Meeting Thursday, November 24th. It begins promptly at 7:15 pm in the school’s Learning Commons. Please check out the school’s web-site to see the agenda the week prior to the meeting.
