Vic Gibbons Six years ago at the AM 740 studio during Big Band Sunday Night I received a phone call from a gentlemen identifying himself as Vic Gibbons, with a most generous offer.
Vic had heard of my involvement in many fundraisers and suggested his painting could help raise money for the good causes. At that moment I was involved with the Tosheba Celebrity Golf Tournament in support of Bloorview McMillan, school and rehab facility for children with all manners of challenges. In one day we would raise in excess of 100 thousand dollars, which Gibbons wonderful art contributed to.
Many other worthwhile efforts, large and not so large benefited by auctioning prints from the talent of the unassuming Mr. Gibbons.
In those events I served, and many others I am only aware of Vic’s talent and generosity have raised near half a million dollars. This is an awesome contribution to the welfare of so many.
Victor is a major artist whose light has been hidden from the public far to long. His honours are many, and recognized by the Art World but very seldom to the public at large.
This show is an amazing new chapter in that he has moved almost entirely into the wild birds: and away from the wolves, foxes, deer, moose and his signature Birches.
Under proper light his colourful birds are beautiful and vulnerable up close. In the eyes,
Vic has captured the fierce fight for survival, OUTSTANDING!
Over six years and multiple viewings I have become aware of a Canadian Giant in the world of Art.
This show made up of nearly all originals is SPECTACULAR… I come away with sense that this man has for all time saved the sights and sounds, the philosophy, that we can and must do everything we possibly can to tell the generations yet unborn, that we cared about the creatures with which we share this earth.
I love the show, the generous people I met, and the comments, which told me that they too have come to recognize a Giant.

By Kim ScoyneWhen Dave and Monica asked for an update about the food bank I thought about the positive aspects of the Simcoe Caring Cupboard.
While our numbers continue to be consistent every month with the peak weeks being mid month our shelves continue to be fully stocked. The Simcoe Caring Cupboard is very fortunate to have a VERY generous community so that we are able to provide a fully stocked cupboard.
Through the Christmas season and into the New Year and now
right into Spring we have seen constant donations. Through private donations, birthday and anniversary parties, hockey tournaments, hockey games, corporate donations, school food drives etc. The list of inventive ideas to provide food to our food bank continues to grow.
We have been fortunate to have had a huge amount of media coverage. The Suave Saver donated her couponing products to us while they filmed her venture of couponing. We were featured along with Kelly
on CHCH news.
Our goal at the Simcoe Caring Cupboard is to provide food for everyone who requires our assistance. We aim to provide for every member of the family. Babies, children (lunch items) including milk for those 16 and under, fruit and vegetable section. The protein section includes eggs, meats, beans, tuna etc. Cereals, rice, etc are in the dry goods area. The extra section includes soup, crackers, cake mixes and many more interesting and bonus foods. As well, we have coffee, tea, salt, milk powder, sugar, toilet paper and other items that vary week to week. In the summer months we have fruits and vegetables that
are provided to us by area farmers as well as greenhouses. Apples are donated throughout the year and potatoes are almost always available weekly.
It truly is because of our generous community that we are able to keep the Simcoe Caring Cupboard stocked and open for clients every Thursday morning from 8:30 – 12:30 at 19 Kent St S. Donations are always welcome Wednesday mornings from 8-10 and there is a drop box at Sobeys. Items the food bank is always looking for are Peanut butter, tuna, juice boxes, sugar, instant coffee, sidekicks, canned peas and green beans and soda crackers.

By Dave ScottThat is the question we have been asking ourselves repeatedly over the last year… you see we kinda had this idea we have been trying to develop… at first it was a, ‘Wouldn’t it be a cool idea?!’
Then we started looking around at the possibility… it seemed farfetched… but the more we explored the possibility… the more realistic
it became.
Something a little different to go hand-in-hand with our newspaper… hmm… something everyone could enjoy… get information… have ads… definitely music and eventually stories.
Ok Norfolk, are you ready for… The Hub Internet Radio? Just click on www.norfolkhub.ca and the music will start (make sure your speaker is on) our goal is to play an assortment of music… mainly rock but like the Hub itself there will be a few surprises… and we definitely want to promote local musicians… so if you have a CD, send it in.
Our little music corner has done its due diligence with SOCAN… and both Monica and I are excited about the fun we can have. Our current set up will be strictly music with a few ads intertwined along the way. It is our goal down the road to have a live show… with guests from around our community who may want to share their stories… if you like reading the Hub… why not enjoy listening to it as well!
Our paper now has 11,000 readers… so lets start listening.
Email any ideas you may have to [email protected] or twitter @norfolkhub.

Since Holy Trinity opened there has always been a Girls Rugby team. Although that's probably not the first 'girly' sport you thought of, it is extremely popular at Holy Trinity! Since 2007 Mr. Fitz and Mrs. Bouw have volunteered to coach the girls rugby teams. At first, there was only a senior team but because of the overwhelming interest, a junior team was created. In total, there are about 50 girls, 25 for each team. Grades 9 and 10 are on the junior, and 11 and 12 on the senior team. With the playing season right around the corner, practices are well underway.
During the game there are 15 players on the field with 10 substitutes. Unlike other sports, there
are practices, but the tournaments are the real time to practice new techniques, skills or even a new position, to use in actual games.
When asked why he likes to coach rugby, Mr. Fitz said,
"It's an incorporation of all sports. It has the technique of soccer but the aggression of hockey or football. As long as you can run, you can play rugby!"
Some girls on the team were asked to describe rugby, Victoria Blake said,
"It's a thrilling hard hitting game!"
"It's Exillirating,
adrenaline pumping with a sense of character and team building" said Mandy Beneff.
Both the girls and boys teams are looking forward to their playing season. Wishing them all the luck in their games to come!

Courtesy of the Haldimand Abilities CentreIt seems very few people are getting enough exercise. Sitting all day in front of a computer or any of the many jobs that confine people to an office does not give the body enough of a work out. The only answer to this is to take up some form of extra activity to give your body the activity it needs. Incorporating a walking program into your daily routine can be a healthy and rewarding lifestyle choice. In addition to its running groups, The Runner’s’ Den, in Port Dover, offers a Fitness/Power Walking Group – “The North
Shore Walkers” which is a great way to incorporate some much needed exercise into your busy life.
It has been found that walking is one of the best forms of exercise because it contributes so many benefits to the human body without risking injury or stressing it.
“There are lots of walkers out there that don’t know the proper form for walking so really they could be hurting themselves and not even know it,” says Cathy Hughes, Fitness/Power Walking instructor at the Runners Den. “To me the most important part of this clinic is

People love to watch all the home renovation shows on television these days. They demonstrate how just about anyone can update, renovate or increase the value of their home in just under an hour. In reality, it takes more than an hour, or two, to do most of the things they show. We all know that. However, they do make it look easy - don't they? That is because if you are watching what I call "the real" design shows they are using professional trades’ people. People who have many years of schooling/ experience behind them. They have honed their skills, their craft. They are experts. They have made their mistakes and learned from them and learned to do what they do… better. You may be able to pick up some tips on how to do a "do-it-yourself project" around your house or apartment - and that is great. But, if it is a job, which requires a certain amount of "expertise", you really should consider calling a professional in to get a quote. It could save a lot of money in the long run if your "weekend project" or your vision of things, does not turn out how you thought it would. Whenever a person considers doing something for their home they should look at it like it is an investment. If a project is expensive, consider doing it in stages, if possible, rather than downgrade and later on regret it.
Professional people keep up with what is "trending" in their industry and they are able to tell you whether or not the "trend" is right for you, if it fits your vision. Where do drapery trends fit in all this? Window coverings can bring value, interest and warmth to a room. Unlike shutters or metal blinds, fabric absorbs sound. They visually add personality. They blend in with their surroundings or make a statement if necessary. Great fabric can do more than perk up a window - it can polish an entire room. According to Karen Von Hahn of the Toronto Star "the latest interiors are so stripped down, so hard in their finishes, so void of anything soft or tactile, that they are actually unpleasant."
Fabric can be rich, colourful solids or prints, romantic, earth
- friendly, textured neutrals… endless possibilities. And then, there is the drapery rod - 1 1/2", 2", and 3? Plexiglas, metal, rosewood, even marble? Swarovski crystal finials anyone? Like everything else, there are trends in the window covering industry. Pinch pleat, grommet or goblet? Unlike the fashion industry, a style is not "in" for one season and then not in, in the next season. When looking through the home decor magazines you will certainly see clean lines and silhouettes and the "colours" of the season. So many options. You can never go wrong if you invest in timeless, rather than trendy.

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a new treatment option for those option for those that are affected by conditions such as:

A pneumatic generator physically delivers the
shock wave to the skin, where it is transformed to sound energy and delivered to the
targeted area. The use of shock waves makes the treatment completely non-invasive and is well tolerated by patients. The effects of shock waves were discovered several decades ago after it was noticed swimmers in the Pacific Ocean were affected by the detonation of mines although they were well out of the blast radius. As the scientific community grew more understanding of the effects caused by shock waves, and medical technology advanced to a sufficient level, the medical profession was able to harness the power of shock waves for therapeutic uses.
Radial Shockwave Therapy works by effectively breaking down tissue in a controlled manner to allow the targeted area to heal properly through the regeneration of blood vessels. It has shown to be successful in the treatment of chronic pain.
Results can be felt after only one treatment with a large improvement becoming evident after a month’s worth of treatment, on average tissue regeneration takes place after three months. With Radial Shockwave Therapy, patients are in and out the door with treatments typically only taking between five to ten minutes.

Currently, when someone is seriously injured in a car crash, and is found to be catastrophically impaired, he or she is entitled to enhanced benefits from their insurer.
Now, the level of care that seriously injured Ontarians have come to expect from their auto insurer may decrease dramatically if the Liberal government moves ahead with the proposed amendments.
When these proposed amendments were announced in the spring of 2011, the Ontario Trial Lawyers’ Association (OTLA), raised a number of significant concerns regarding the restriction of the “catastrophic impairment” definition. OTLA argued that the bar to find someone catastrophically impaired was being set too high – and would prevent many seriously injured individuals from being able to get necessary treatment. OTLA gave examples of people who would no longer be deemed catastrophically impaired under the proposed legislation:
a. People with severe brain injuries who are only able to work at a reduced capacity, who can do less than ½ of their usual social and leisure activities, and who have intolerable family disruption many times a week.
b. People with legitimate psychiatric disorders who have serious symptoms OR any serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., no friends, unable to keep a job).
c. People with serious physical and psychological impairments will not be able to have a physician consider whether this combination of problems will render them catastrophic.
d. People who are not accepted into an inpatient hospital rehabilitation program will NOT be considered catastrophic – this in a time when there are very limited beds available.
The Liberals are considering changes that are clearly discriminatory. People with serious psychiatric disorders; people who live in parts of Ontario with limited rehabilitation hospitals; and people with chronic pain, a disorder recognized by the medical community and the Supreme Court of Canada as being both legitimate and potentially very disabling, are being treated unfairly.
What makes this move even more offensive to injured individuals, is that it comes after significant reductions to accident benefits in 2010 which lead to a 48% increase in insurer profits in 2011 (more than $3.5 billion) – the largest increase in years. As a personal injury lawyer representing only injured individuals, I stand by OTLA in arguing that changes to the definition of catastrophic impairment should be made, BUT these changes should:
make it easier for seriously injured Ontarians to get the care and treatment they need.
make the system simpler and easier to use.
be fair to all categories of injured victims.

Toxicity is a growing concern for both doctors and their patients. As more and more toxic chemicals are used in products that increase
the “convenience factor” of our busy lives, there have been staggering increases worldwide in diseases such as: Cancers, childhood cancers like leukemia, asthma, obesity, autism, ADD/ADHD, and chemical sensitivity. Toxins impact the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, and unfortunately are passed down to future generations. The following tests are useful for treatment planning and achieving wellness.
• The Phthalates & Parabens Profile helps determine body burdens of these chemicals from everyday exposures. Phthalates are plasticizers used to make PVC plastics more flexible. Parabens keep fungus and mold from personal care products such as shampoos, lotions, soaps, gels, and more.
• The PCBs Profile measures the body burden of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). PCBs are bioaccumulative and found in food sources such as fish, fatty meats, and dairy products.
• The Volatile Solvents Profile determines volatile solvents exposure. Volatile solvents are mostly inhaled from products such as furniture, building materials, cleaning agents, and inks.
• Proper porphyrin production is essential for our body’s capacity to detoxify toxins. The Porphyrins Profile can help identify the severity of heavy metal toxicity or organic chemical exposure.
• The Toxic Metals Profile focuses on five highly toxic heavy metals and is available with whole blood or urine specimen types.
• The Chlorinated Pesticides Profile measures the body burden of chlorinated pesticides, such as DDT. These chemicals are bioaccumulative and can be ingested through fruits, vegetables, and drinking water.
These environmental toxicity tests are available at the Armstrong Clinic for Naturopathic Medicine. You can determine whether your work, home or external environment is creating your symptoms. Your registered Naturopathic Doctor can use this and other environmental tests to guide individualized detoxification programs. Spring is here, and this is the perfect time for a supervised cleanse for everyone.
With such an early Spring season this year, many people have had a renewed interest in creating a healthy lawn and getting the process started right away.
We should keep in mind that a lawn is a very unnatural situation in that we are trying to sustain a large area with very little plant diversity. This is technically monoculture but lawns remain an important part of any landscape as they provide the background that enhances the overall effect of the home and the various gardens and landscape features.The following are a number of hints that will help you to maintain a healthy lawn naturally.1. Mowing: Of all the cultural practices, mowing exerts the greatest influence on growth, development and ease of management. By keeping the lawn grass blade height between 6 & 8 cm (2.5 to 3 inches) high you’ll be able to produce a more competitive lawn to young and germinating weeds. 2. Grass Species Selection: Seed mixtures with Titanium Tall Fescue has shown to be more drought, disease and insect resistant than many other lawn grasses such as the traditional kentucky bluegrasses. Tall fescue roots penetrate deeper into the soil providing better regrowth and wear tolerance, making it ideal for heavy foot traffic areas and recreational areas.3. Watering: Your typical lawn needs about 2.5 cm (one inch) of water per week through either rain or irrigation. If irrigating, water in the morning as more will be absorbed as opposed to being lost to evaporation in the sun and the warmer temperatures later in the day. 4. Fertilization: Lawns require relatively large amounts of nitrogen based fertilizers which should be applied several times during the growing season. Since lawn clippings are high in nutrients, especially nitrogen, much of your initial nitrogen fertilizer investment may be recycled back into your lawn! A fertilizer with a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ratio of 4:1:2 (eg 20-5-10) is normally the best in most situations. It should be noted though, that a soil nutrient test can accurately determine the actual needs of your lawn including lime if the pH is too low.5. Corn Gluten: An application of this product early in the Spring and then later on in the summer will inhibit the growth of weeds from germinating seeds especially the annual problem, crabgrass. Established weeds though have to be dug out by hand.6. Thatch Control: Thatch is a layer of dead leaves, stems and roots that intermingle with the living plants above the soil surface. A one inch layer of thatch is desirable as it has a cushioning effect against compaction and an insulating effect in cold weather. De-thatching a lawn is an extreme measure that may be considered if the drainage is poor. Lawn aeration may be required as well as the lawn and the soil below must establish a drainage pattern.7. Nematodes: Nematodes are microscopic worms that should be applied to lawns that have been ravaged by grubs especially of the Japanese Beetle. Nematodes have a short shelf life and must be refrigerated until they are applied. Normally, they are sprayed onto the lawn from mid-May to mid-June and then again from mid-August to mid-September.

By MARG WERDEN Climate change expanding wildlife rangesAlthough Turkey Vultures are now a common sight soaring over Norfolk County, a rarer sighting is the Black Vulture, a more southerly species. This may change, however, as our climate continues to change.
Until the early 1900s, the Turkey Vulture was a rare sight in southern Ontario. What caused this species to shift northward? The answer is quite simple: human habitation. Before the arrival of Europeans, southern Ontario was dominated by forests. Trees absorb the sun’s heat and do not produce thermals, or upward drafts of warm air, on which Vultures soar while looking for food. Thermals allow a number of birds, including vultures and some hawks, to fly for long periods of time without flapping their wings. As the forests were replaced with fields and roads, both of which produce thermals, the Turkey Vulture found its way into the area. The roads also supplied an abundance of road-kill, a primary source of food for the Turkey Vulture.
The question then arises, why hasn’t the Black Vulture also moved into this area? The answer lies in the difference in the two species’ “rate of sink.” Scientists have measured this sink rate by flying in airplanes in close formation with the vultures. Turkey Vultures have a minimum sink rate of two feet per second. Black Vultures, on the other hand, sink more quickly, at a minimum rate of 2.6 feet per second. As a result, Black Vultures need stronger thermals to stay aloft and tend to stay further south where the warmer weather provides these thermals, while Turkey Vultures
are able to fly on the cooler thermals found in the north.
A recent study conducted by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology found that as warmer winter weather becomes more common, some species have adjusted their ranges northward to remain in climates to which they are habituated. Remember the Christmas Bird Count in which you may have participated in the past? Information gathered from data from this count was used by scientists to match winter temperatures to where birds were seen. The results showed that there is a considerable lag time between climate change and the range shift. It has taken approximately 35 years for many birds to move far enough north for winter temperatures to match where they had previously lived.
“This is a problem, because birds are among the most mobile of animals and yet they take decades to respond to warming,” said Frank La Sorte, a postdoctoral researcher at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and lead author of the study, which was published online by the Journal of Animal Ecology this month. “Climatic conditions are steadily moving northward, whether particular animals come along or not. As conservation biologists we need to know how well animals are keeping up.”
One species whose range has changed is the Black Vulture, which has spread northward and now winters as far north as Massachusetts, which now has minimum winter temperatures similar to those found in Baltimore, Maryland in 1975. Other species have not altered their ranges despite the warming trend and may end up in habitats that will not suit them if their favoured food types move out of the area. However, moving may be difficult if the habitat they favour also lags behind the climate change.
“When you think about it, it makes sense that species move slower than the rate at which climate is changing,” La Sorte said. “They’re not just tracking temperature—many of them need to follow a prey base, a type of vegetation, or they need certain kinds of habitat that will create corridors for movement.”
Changes in how quickly the climate warms will also affect how species respond to it. If the climate does not warm as quickly, birds may be able to catch up, but if climate warming accelerates, which, based on increasing carbon emissions, is likely to happen, it may put more strain on wildlife.
"The take-home message is that as species are responding, they're doing it under their own time frame," La Sorte said. "Understanding what that time frame might be is challenging. We have to give species the opportunity to respond by providing corridors for movement, and long-term maintenance of those corridors. That would require cooperation across political boundaries."
Such a corridor might be a swath of forest or grassland that extends northward so birds can gradually move north along it, rather than being stopped by a sprawling metropolitan region.
It’s Pooper Scooper week (and that’s not an April Fool’s joke!)I was surprised to learn that there is an American non-profit trade organization dedicated to professionals who deal with doggie-doo! The mission of the Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists (aPAWS) is to increase the level of awareness in the animal waste industry and to raise the level of the public's awareness of their profession. Their main concern is making sure pet waste is cleaned up from residential and commercial properties.
Although these are US statistics, I’m sure they are similar to Canadian data: The American Pet Association estimates that the seventy-one million pet dogs in the USA produce over 4.4 billion pounds of waste per year. That's enough to cover 900 football fields with 12 inches of dog waste!
In February 2002, aPAWS established April 1 to 7 as a special week to educate pet owners on the importance of cleaning up after their dogs and other pets. Dog poop is more than just a smelly nuisance; pet waste can pose a serious health hazard. A number of common parasites, including roundworm, are transmitted via dog poop. When infected dog droppings are left on the ground, the eggs of the roundworms and other parasites can linger in the soil for years. As a result, anyone who comes in contact with the soil also comes in contact with the infected eggs.
Children run the greatest risk of infection because they play in the dirt at the park or playground and then put their hands in their mouths or rub their eyes with their hands. But even a group of teens or adults playing Frisbee or touch football in an open area could be in danger. Parasitic infections can make humans extremely sick, and for a pregnant woman, can pose a serious risk to her unborn child.
It's no joke! Stoop and scoop the poop!!

By Dave ScottMusic… it gets in your blood… it blends into your soul… it fills all aspects of your life. It tells a story… it brings us together… for good times and for sad times… it defines generations… music being the vibrations that make our universe.
Randy Halmo has spent his life enjoying music. He and I sat around his kitchen table in his lovely home in Port Dover and had an absolutely wonderful conversation about his life with music.
You can look back through Randy’s family tree and see that music has swirled around his family for a long time… his uncle Steve played the bass fiddle in the quartet, the Pastels and his uncle Jack was a back up bass fiddle player for the Glen Miller Band. Randy himself, was taught the piano accordion at the Simcoe Conservatory of Music back in 1957 by George Romanik… actually 1957 was the year Randy remembers listening to CFRS 1650 AM in Simcoe… that is when the bug started… Randy soon realized that perhaps this DJ thing may be something he would enjoy… his passion continued for all things related to music and on Friday, November 15th1963, 15 year old Randy Halmo was scheduled to make his radio station debut under the guidance of DJ, Norm Gilcrest, on CFRS in Simcoe… but fate would intervene that day, young Mr. Halmo was told that he had been bumped until the following Friday… November 22… 1963… a day etched in American history… the day JFK was shot in Dallas… as news broke, Randy quickly realized that he would not be on the air that day… but to his surprise, the station wanted Randy on the air to talk about the mood
of his fellow students.
Randy remembers the day vividly, it was an emotional battle for him… but he held it together on air… being as professional as he could… his ambitions to be a DJ tied together with one of the most emotional days North America has ever felt… as he left the station that day he admits he wept… but he also realized that being a DJ was something he had a passion for…
Flash ahead to 1972… Randy had already graduated from Guelph University and was working at Toronto International Airport… the DJ dream was still alive and Randy had his first real gig for the RCMP Christmas Dance… he figured if he could play for the military he could play for anyone.
Randy smiles as he thinks back to the days of the turntables… the 45 and 33 1/3 vinyl he played back then… since that first gig, Randy has never wavered on his attention to detail and first rate customer service.
Life turned a new corner and Randy returned to the Simcoe area. He began working in the family business, Rudy Halmo Jewellers, and for the next twenty-four years, Randy could be found at the store helping brides and grooms find that special ring… he continued his DJ business on weekends… working long hours but the passion was as strong as ever as he refined his craft into a top notch service.
Finally in 1996, he decided to throw himself into the broadcast industry, he took radio broadcast courses in Toronto, and for four summers, was the summer coordinator for CD98.9 with his own show Midnight Interludes, as well as voiceover work for 101.3 in Tillosnburg, and CKPC in Brantford… plus the Whitmore Watch commercial.
Randy’s next step was doing his DJ business
(KLASSY FM) full time. The year was 2000 and Randy had continued to grow his successful business based on service and excellence, which brings us to the award Randy received recently… the National President’s Award (Canadian Professional Disc Jockey Association) for Service Excellence in the industry.
The award is the accumulation of Randy’s commitment to the highest standard of service for his clients… something Randy, to the utmost, believes in.
Sitting with Randy was really interesting… understanding the drive this gentleman has, to give his all to his DJ Service. My eyes were opened at just how passionate and professional he is at his job… something that he himself developed while working in the family business (Halmo Jewellers)… he treats every wedding, theme party, dance, birthday party as if it was his own… leaving no stone unturned before each big event… presenting the proper music for the evening, checking over all his equipment, leaving nothing to chance… Randy talks of the many weddings he does and how being part of a couple’s big day is an honour for him… Randy still sees what most of us forget… that love is alive out there… especially at weddings… he sees how important the music is to all of us… and how he is the lucky one… to share it with us every time the music starts. Congrats Randy!

After 39 years as a veterinarian, I announce that as of March 31, 2012, I will retire from my regular veterinary work at the Colborne Veterinary Clinic.
I cannot express adequately, my sincere gratitude to the staff, my former
and current clients and patients, for your trust in me and in what I was trying to accomplish. It has been my pleasure to “be there” for you.
The most thanks, although, is to my wife, Judy and my family, for their complete understanding and
acceptance of my time and efforts given to the profession. I could not have succeeded without them.
I wish Dr. Paul Arora much success as the owner of the practice, and hope that his clients continue to receive the same level of care as has been
given in the past.
I plan to giveback to the community as I have and can enjoy our five grandchildren even more. There may be the odd game of golf in there somewhere.
Sincerely,David G. Horton
Dr. David G. Horton
