Paris Lions Club Serves Breakfast to the Less Fortunate

By Chris Whelan

Last Saturday morning, members of the Paris Lions Club, extended their generosity to the local community by organizing a heartwarming event at Victoria Park in Brantford. Armed with leftover pancakes and sausages from the recent Maple Syrup Festival, the Lions Club embarked on a mission to feed over 100 individuals who are less fortunate.

The Paris Lions Club, renowned for its commitment to community service, demonstrated once again their dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of others. With a strong belief in the power of compassion and community support, the club members rallied together to ensure that no one went hungry

The event kicked off early in the morning, as Lions Club volunteers set up tables and cooking stations at Victoria Park. The mouthwatering aroma of freshly cooked pancakes and sizzling sausages wafted through the air, attracting the attention of park visitors and passersby. Excitement and anticipation filled the atmosphere as the Lions Club members prepared to serve a warm and delicious breakfast to those in need.

As the clock struck 8:00 a.m., the doors of compassion opened wide. The Lions Club volunteers, wearing their distinctive dark blue aprons with yellow Lions Club insignia, greeted each person with a smile and a plate filled with pancakes and sausages. For many, it was not just a

meal but a reminder that their community cared for them

The Paris Lions Club has been actively involved in community service for over 90 years, organizing various events and initiatives to uplift the less fortunate. From fundraising for medical equipment to supporting local schools and charities, the club's dedication has made a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals.

The Paris Lions Club's breakfast event at Victoria Park not only provided a warm meal but also served as a reminder of the strength and unity within the community. As volunteers and recipients shared laughter and conversations, barriers were broken down, fostering a sense of solidarity, and understanding.

With their generosity and selflessness, the Paris Lions Club continues to inspire others to make a positive impact in their communities. Their dedication to serving the less fortunate sets an example for individuals and organizations alike, reminding us all that a small act of kindness can create ripples of change

As the sun rose higher in the sky, the Paris Lions Club's breakfast event came to a close, leaving behind a trail of smiles and full bellies. While the physical nourishment may fade, the impact of their compassion will resonate within the hearts of the less fortunate for years to come.

By Chris Whelan

Cainsville, County of Brant - In a momentous occasion today, the County of Brant proudly joined Numesh for a grand opening ceremony and ribboncutting event, marking the inauguration of their new facility located in Cainsville. This significant investment in the province and the County of Brant promises to bring numerous benefits to the local community.

"Thank you to Numesh for investing in the County of Brant," Mayor Bailey remarked.

"Our strategic location here allows us to better serve our customers and support our position as the leading Canadian manufacturer of welded wire mesh for concrete reinforcement."

The grand opening ceremony featured speeches by Mayor David Bailey, Mathieu Séguin, and Chris Dekker, the Ontario Plant Manager at Numesh. Each speaker emphasized the positive impact this investment will have on the local economy, job creation, and the community as a whole.

The 2nd Annual Banfield Art Crawl!

Art, arty events and artistic displays are some of the brightest jewels in Paris’ crown and without a doubt are an important part of the fabric that create this town’s identity.

Last weekend the 2nd annual Banfield Art Crawl brought local artists together to show off their range, mediums and skill with accessible aplomb This year’s event had twenty different spots on the crawl map and thirty-eight artists participating in tents, on lawns, porches and driveways; it was a really dynamic showcase of all things Paris is beloved for - amazing artisans, beautiful homes, vivacious nature and nice neighbours. Across six streets, behind the Willet Hospital, the Banfield Art Crawl had a great selection of craft and creations including printmaking, paintings, jewellery, photography, metalwork, clothing, fibre art and more. The weather wasn’t wonderful, but the vibes were still vibrant, all the art brightened and warmed up the many attendees who crawled between 10 AM and 4 PM, accompanied by acoustic music from Eric Kuhn and bawdy band The Garage Mahals who brought brilliant energy too.

BAC 2024 Artist Linny Jones of Tree Of Life Studios on her lawn with her multi-media eco art. I had to share this picture because it's my (Rubyyy) Mom and I'm super proud of her for a great first art show!

Me and my merry band of creative friends made the rounds, all feeling so inspired by the work and wonder on show, and all of us leaving with our wallets happily lighter. I got a really pretty card from wunderkind Watercolours by Clara, a sensational mini sketch - a portrait of a peacock’s head - from Sad Trash Art on St Andrew Street and a really sweetheart shaped vessel from Head’s Pottery, created by Heather Licskai. All the booths, artists in attendance and offerings were fascinating and fantastic this year, and I’m really excited to see how the Banfield Art Crawl will evolve and elevate for year three.

Paris previously claimed the title of Prettiest Little town in Canada and, although beauty is a much misunderstood and maligned power and commodity, I would say that Paris is indeed pretty, but I look forward to the day it’s named its most truest -est - the artyest!

The Banfield Art Crawl was a charming reminder that one of our most valuable assets is our community and the talented, effervescent people who make up the neighbourhoods, streets and sectors of our town and county; bravo to all involved for your great art and your great contribution to the richness and radiance of Paris.

SC Johnson generously contributes $140,000 to support Digital Mammography at BCHS

Submitted release

SC Johnson generously contributes $140,000 to support Digital Mammography at BCHS. The Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) is grateful to SC Johnson for a generous donation of$140,000 which will help to purchase new mammography technology for the SC Johnson Departments of Medical Imaging and Diagnostics. SC Johnson’s transformative giving allowed the BCHS to bring the first Digital

Mammography units to our hospital in 2012. As these units approach end of life and replacement parts become scarce, BCHS has identified the need to replace this technology.

Mammography is the most valuable tool radiologists rely on to diagnose breast cancer and to follow the progression and treatment of the disease in patients. This specialized x-ray is used to produce detailed images of the breast Breast tomosynthesis is an advanced form of mammographic imaging that allows for creation of 3

dimensional images of the breasts, proven to improve the ability of mammography to diagnose cancer in certain types of breast tissue. Contrast enhanced mammography is an additional tool to aid in diagnosis of breast cancer. The new equipment at the BCHS will have both breast tomosynthesis and contrast enhanced mammographic capabilities.

HEALTH NEWS

“Digital mammography, with the capability for breast tomosynthesis and contrast enhanced mammography will allow us to best support breast cancer care at BCHS,” says Dr. Angela Fleming, Chief and Medical Director, Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Brant Community Healthcare System “This investment from SC Johnson will greatly increase our ability to provide our patients with exemplary care”.

SC Johnson’s most recent investment in the BCHS puts their total cumulative giving to the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation at just over $4.8 million. This makes them one of the largest donors to the BCHS Foundation as they continue to ensure that our community has a strong local healthcare system “We are incredibly grateful to SC Johnson for their ongoing commitment as they continue to support us as we re-imagine healthcare in our community,” says Lee Ferrao, Chair, BCHS Foundation. “SC Johnson has been an outstanding corporate citizen in Brantford over the years and this investment is just one more example of how they support our community”.

Over the past several decades, SC Johnson’s leadership and commitment has helped the BCHS to not only maintain but become a leading-edge large community hospital to serve Brantford, Brant, Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. To commemorate and celebrate SC Johnson’s cumulative giving the Medical Imaging and Cardiac Diagnostic Department has been named in their honour

Benefits of Digital Mammography with breast tomosynthesis and contrast enhanced mammography Options:

More accurate diagnoses

Faster image acquisition

Improved contrast between dense and non-dense breast tissue

Ability to correct under or over-exposure of images without having to repeat mammograms

Reduction in the need for follow up visits

Decrease in unnecessary biopsies

Physicians can manipulate breast images for more accurate detection of breast cancer.

6. Check Tire Tread: Worn tire tread can affect your vehicles traction and handling, especially

8. Keep your vehicle clean: Regular washing and waxing can protect your vehicles paint from sun damage and maintain its resale value.

9. Inspect Windshield for Damage: Chips and cracks in your windshield can impair visibility and compromise structural integrity

10. Stay Hydrated and take breaks: As you hit the road for those long summer drives the heat can lead to fatigue. Bring water with you and take regular breaks to rest and recharge.

Hopefully by following these tips this summer you can ensure your vehicle stays in top shape throughout the warmer months, keeping you safe and comfortable on the road Regular maintenance and attention to detail will help prevent costly repairs and will extend the life of your vehicle From Dave and Karel, drive safely and the enjoy the summer season with peace of mind knowing your vehicle is well maintained.

A Typical Victoria Day in Paris, Ontario, 1935

The year was 1935, and Paris, a hereditary sport town, was bustling with activity on Victoria Day. It was a stay-at-home holiday for the locals, but that didn't stop them from engaging in a wide range of outdoor sports and recreational activities. The weather was glorious, adding to the festive atmosphere that filled the air.

From golfing to bowling, tennis to baseball, football to fishing, and even fireworks, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Parisians had always been passionate about sports, with a sporting spirit deeply ingrained in the town's culture for over threequarters of a century. In the earlier days, Paris boasted its own cricket grounds and was renowned as a center for cricket Horse racing, curling, and foot racing were also popular games that attracted visitors from far and wide

The year 1935 marked the introduction of British rugby to Paris. Experts claimed that this form of rugby was markedly different from and superior to the

soccer usually played in the town Two out-of-town teams, Brantford and an Irish team from Toronto, showcased their skills in an exhibition match, captivating the spectators with the thrilling game.

Golfers kicked off the summer season with a tournament, while the lawn bowlers and the Presbyterian Tennis Club also organized their respective opening events. The new tennis grounds of St. Paul's United Church were particularly praised for their excellent condition. The various clubs reported an increase in membership, indicating that Paris was determined to maintain its prominent position in the

sporting world despite the emergence of new competitors.

The Paris Lawn Bowling Club saw over 60 members participate in the opening day competition. The green was in excellent condition, and President Haire expressed optimism about the club's successful season ahead. The club also paid tribute to the late member John Inksater, while extending warm wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sinclair on their sixtieth wedding anniversary.

Lady Panthers Rugby heading to CWOSSA despite semi-final loss to Assumption

By George Le Gresley

On Monday, the lady Panthers met the Assumption College in semi-final play and a rematch of Paris’ loss in the last game of the season. Both teams watching Holy Trinity upset BCI’s long-time undefeated team, the first entrant in the championship final match.

In the first half, the Panthers threatened to score often, only to stall on their way to the goal line, with dropped passes, penalties and turnovers. The Lions scored the only try of the half, on a long run and a 5-0 lead.

In the second half, Assumption scored another try, but missed their convert attempt due to the high winds and took 10-0. Finally, in the last 5 minutes of play, Paris’ Petra Keefe scored a try to make the score 10-5, declining to take a convert attempt so that the team could take another shot at goal. Unfortunately, time ran out for Paris, but the good news will be heading off to CWOSSA later this month.

Paris High graduate has podium finish in University of South Dakota Track and Field event

By Casandra Turnbull

Some tough obstacles both on and off the field have helped a Paris High School graduate grow academically and excel athletically during her junior year at the University of South Dakota. With another school year in the books, Kenzie Campbell, who is majoring in nursing in the United States, is looking forward to her final year of school in the fall. Learning to balance her life in class and on the field was a real challenge this year but through it all she was able to develop and master some new time efficiency skills which were critical in allowing her to juggle a hectic schedule consisting of her clinicals three days a week and honouring her commitment as a member of the University’s Women’s Track and Field team. She finished the year off with a silver medal in the Hammer (throwing) event during the School’s Conference Championships

“I would be up for clinical at 4:30 am and not get done with track until 6:30 pm and still have homework to do I learned how to prioritize my sleep and recovery for track. I had to sacrifice many things just to stay on track with my schooling and training,” said Campbell in an email to the Paris Independent. She credits coach Kyle Long for helping her best manage her practice days to maximize her potential without leaving her exhausted Taking a different approach, the duo would sometimes leave out weightlifting from

practice, an unusual move for most track and field competitors, but what’s the sense in pushing a body that’s already exhausted following long clinical hours?

“Mentally this spring semester I grew a lot as I learned how to step away from school and take a break to reset,” she said. And by stepping away from school, she didn’t mean throwing in the towel or trying less, it meant realizing no one is perfect all the time and recognizing when it’s okay to close the books and take a mental break. “In the fall I tried to do as much as possible to get the best grades, but it was mentally exhausting on myself In the spring I learned more time efficient ways to study that would allow me to still have a life outside of school and track.” Continued

She set the athletic bar high during last year’s indoor championship where she obtained a personal record of 19.44m in the weight, which helped her finish fourth place at the conference level. Unfortunately, as she started her pre-nursing classes last spring and her track record struggled and she didn’t progress to her full potential, finishing eighth in hammer throw at the outdoor championships

This year, with life under control academically, and a well-established routine, Campbell set out to try and meet some personal goals she set for herself on the field. But life had a funny sense of humour and she encountered another hard lesson –things don’t always go according to plan. “This year I had a fire to place at indoor championships as I knew I was very capable, and my throwing was improving but a week before I suffered a back spasm that left me sitting in pain and agony until the indoor championships and I just struggled through to get 4th place again but with a shorter distance ” To transition to outdoor track, she made sure to focus on back rehab so she could hit the ground running. With determination and perseverance at the forefront, Campbell started to

notice that her throws in practice were farther than ever thrown before and if she could put it together in a meet, she could possibly set a new personal record

As a result, at every outdoor meet this season she was throwing well over her average marks from last year and passed her previous personal record of 55.00m to throw 56.88m at the USD challenge meet in mid-April

“Leading up to the outdoor Summit League championship I knew I was ready to compete with the top girls I was going in ranked 4th but my coach always says, ‘It doesn’t take anything special ’ I knew that for my six throws that if I worked on one thing and held it throughout my throw that I would be in contention for placing. Each athlete is guaranteed three throws and then the top nine get three additional throws, in reverse order from lowest marks going first to highest marks going last. She was in fifth place after the initial rounds, and she had that ‘now or never’ moment

She recalled her coach’s pep talk to the entire team the even prior to the competition and his memorable advice – don’t hold back, what are you saving ‘it’ for?

“I knew that I had to calm my nerves and I had to give it all I had. I took my last threw and I knew it was going to be close and I was praying that it bumped my past fourth and into 3rd,” she remembered.

The second-best throw was 56 02 and the third best throw was 55.79, both above her personal best throws It would take an all or nothing moment to get her on the podium. When her mark came up as 56.45m she moved into second with only the other three girls to follow The minute the girl right after her didn’t surpass her distance she knew she was guaranteed a podium finish. “I was elated that I had finally proven to myself that I could challenge the other girls under that much pressure.”

It was an invigorating moment, one she likely won’t ever forget. Only the top 48 marks in each event goes on to compete in the west preliminary round in Arkansas Campbell finished a very respectable 60th and quickly established a new goal for next year – “I will be more than capable to make that meet!”’

Local jobless rate holds steady below provincial average

BRANTFORD (May 10, 2024) –

The Brantford-Brant jobless rate barely budged last month.

After sitting at 4.9% for three straight months, April’s local unemployment rate was 5%, according to seasonally adjusted figures from Statistics Canada, the federal government agency that monitors the labour market. Even though the Canadian economy added 90,000 jobs in April – far more than forecasted –the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6 1% Ontario added 25,000 of those jobs, but the provincial jobless rate still nudged up 0 1 percentage points to 6 8% In labour markets nearest to Brantford, only KitchenerCambridge-Waterloo saw their unemployment rate fall last month. Brantford maintained its second-

place spot after Guelph, whose is the lowest at 4 4%

“The Brantford area labour market continues to be healthy and stable, and the status quo is a good position to be in,” said Danette Dalton, executive director of the Workforce Planning Board of Grand Erie. “But alongside that story, there are other interesting trends that have become more noticeable.”

One of those trends relates to shifts in work type

There has been little change in total local employment in the last 12 months, but the number of residents working full time has increased by about 3,300, while part-time work has fallen by an equivalent number.

“It’s considered a positive barometer for the economy when full-time jobs increase,” Dalton said. “It points to employers doing well financially and having greater business confidence, and they show it by hiring or moving parttimers to full time.”

Of the jobs posted in April on the Grand Erie Jobs online job board, operated by the planning board, four in five were full-time positions. Almost 90% were permanent positions, either full time or part time

There were more than 1,900 new postings last month Combined with the postings carried over from March, the total of postings appearing in April was 3,500. The number of employers posting jobs was up 5% to 1,400.

Students will learn about dozens of careers through

numerous hands-on, interactive and fun activities, such as soldering copper pipes, wiring, operating a welding simulator, making a toolbox, using power tools, putting on firefighter gear and trying out virtual reality goggles. Some companies bring large vehicles used in their work, from forestry equipment to cranes, backhoe, ambulance, and hydro, redi-mix, transport and fire trucks

Epic Jobs is organized by the Workforce Planning Board of Grand Erie, Organized Kaos, Grand Erie District School Board, Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board, and the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) and Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program of both school boards.
