PUSLINCH TWP. - For many residents here, the Ellis Chapel remains an integral part of their community.

“It’s a very special place for all of us,” Ken Murray said of the chapel, which this year cel-ebrates its 150th anniversary.

“It was built as a commu-nity chapel and that’s what it remains today.”

Murray is one of three cha-pel trustees and the chairman of an 18 member volunteer board that looks after the building, which was constructed in 1861 by pioneer settlers and the Puslinch commu-nity on land donated by Mary and Edward Ellis.

“There’s no job description for any position; any work we need done just gets done,” Murray said of the board.

Located on the south side of Ellis Road in the west end of Puslinch Township, the chapel offered regular service and Sunday school in the 1800s and into the 20th century, before the congregation began to shift to town churches.

Ken’s wife, Marilyn Murray, explained the church eventually fell into disuse and the win-dows were boarded up in 1957, around the same time Highway 401 was built through the township, just metres south of the building.

Officials were looking for service centre areas along the highway, and London busi-nessman Loyd Frank, who worked for a major gasoline retailer, was not pleased when it was proposed the chapel be turned into a construction shed.

Thus began a long relation-

ship between Frank and the people of Puslinch Lake, who helped spearhead the restora-tion of the chapel and its even-tual re-opening in 1963.

While the goal has always been to keep the building as close to the original as pos-sible, over the years the board has replaced the chapel roof, refinished the floors, repaired the ceiling, re-pointed the exte-rior brick work, replaced doors, repaired windows, brought in new pews, replaced the organ, and done various other odd

jobs.The chapel underwent a

face lift in 2008, with repaint-ing, gardening, and refurbish-ing in order to preserve its history and update the overall appearance of the building.

The church offers four services every summer and hosts about 20 weddings each

year, as well as other events such as baptisms, funerals, and concerts. And it is not just locals who want to book the facility - some travel from the U.S. and other parts of Canada because they love the chapel.

“There’s a presence in the

building and you can feel it,” Ken Murray explained. “It envelopes you - and I always wanted to be a part of that.”

Many decide to book their wedding at the chapel after vis-iting it on a random stop at the 401 service station at the rear of the building.

So far this year, about 100 people have signed the guest

book at the chapel, which is open six days a week. They come from all backgrounds and hail from many countries, including France, Germany, Mexico, Singapore, Holland, over 20 U.S. states, and every Canadian province.

Board members stress that regular ser-vices at the chapel are non-denominational in nature.

“If you have any great theological hang-ups, you leave them at the door,” board mem-ber Phil Fletcher said with a laugh.

There are two origi-nal members still on the volunteer board and a few have a familial con-nection to the chapel, but most take part sim-ply because they have a passion for keeping the building open.

“It’s a part of our history,” said Marilyn Murray, who noted the chapel is the only building in Puslinch Township with a pro-vincial heritage desig-nation.

The township gave chapel volunteers $2,500 this year towards the cost of organizing the 150th anniversary

celebration, but other than that, the chapel has received no government funding.

It is funded solely through free will offerings and event rentals, and is operated and maintained by the hard work of the volunteer board.

“We have a great inter-est in seeing it remain open,”

said board member Elizabeth Hughes. “It would be a shame to see it closed again.”

Fletcher added the chapel provided a welcoming pres-ence to his family members, who knew just two locals when they first relocated to Puslinch.

“It was the best way that we had of connecting to the com-munity,” said Fletcher. “The chapel is a centre point for the community.”

This summer, in recognition of the chapel’s 150th anniver-sary, the board’s four servic-es featured historical themes and several “actors” in period costumes from the Puslinch Historical Society.

“It really brought the story alive,” said Hughes.

As part of the 150th cel-ebrations on Aug. 20 and 21, to which everyone is invited, volunteers will unveil a special plaque recognizing the history of the building, and also auc-tion off an acrylic painting of

the chapel.On Aug. 20, from 3 to 7pm,

the chapel will host a party featuring a barbecue, children’s entertainment (including a bouncy castle), and a musical program.

On Aug. 21 at 2:30pm the chapel will host its third annual service - featuring The Evolution of Teaching and Preaching - followed by an afternoon tea in the chapel gar-den.

Chapel volunteers are hop-ing for large crowds over the weekend, which, when com-bined with all their hard work, should help ensure the legacy of the historic Ellis Chapel remains strong.

“There’s an enthusiasm to keeping this place in the shape it’s in ... We hope it’s here for another 150 years,” Ken Murray said with a smile.

Getting the immune system ready for winter

(NC) - Immunity is a “whole body” activity.

One’s skin, mouth, and nose are just some of the entry points for an infinite number of pos-sible attackers.

Bacteria, viruses, mold, and other microbes are in the air and water. They can be on food and are often spread by others who are unaware of the poten-tial harm they are “sharing.”

Boosting immunity is one of the best health strategies at any age. Here are some key ways to protect the body against from infections and compromised immunity:

- increase the intake of vita-min C daily; it is not stored in the body;

- avoid excessive amounts of processed foods, hydroge-

nated oils, sugar, and alcohol.- exercise at least three

times a week; daily is even better;

- increase the body’s popu-lations of health-supporting bacteria to fight bad bacteria by eating yogurt or taking a complete multi strain probiotic supplement;

- take vitamin D supple-ments because reduced sun exposure means less vitamin D;

- echinacea boosts immune function and can shorten the duration of an infection; and

- wash hands frequently, especially if around children or people who have colds.

People can save themselves downtime this fall and winter by bolstering their body’s natu-ral defences starting today.

FOOD SAFETY AUDITS AND RECORD KEEPING - by Colleen Haskins

The requirement of having a food safety audit for farm production is increasing, and some of the major retailers are requesting a short turn around time for these to be completed and producers to be certified. Produce commodities are classified into different risk categories, and some retailers are requiring high risk produce to be certified first. Audits are focused on the season in which the com-modity is being produced, and typically occur during harvest or packing. Many audits require a minimum of 3 months of records to be completed prior to an audit being conducted. However if nutrient applications were made in the previous fall for the next years production, those records may be considered during an audit as well. With any food safety program, it is imperative to maintain and keep your records as proof of due diligence for your farm pro-ductions and often to be kept for 2 years at a minimum. Contact your retailer or customer to verify which food safety program they require and the requirements for record keeping before you sched-ule your audit. Now is the time to get started and the good news is, we can help! Food safety, questions? Ask us. Visit our website for more food safety information and additional resources www.

If you are planning to do an EFP project in 2012, applications will be available on Thursday, September 15 in the Elora OMAFRA Boardroom. It is expected that the Cost Share money will all be taken up in one day so you need to come early that day with all the information and supplies you will need to complete your ap-plication.A small change has been made to the procedure when you pick up your application, your Farm Business Registration Number along with the application number will be immediately forwarded to Guelph and that places you in the line up for the Cost Share money.

It is not im-perative for you to complete the application at that time but the sooner the better. If you have not completed a Program Enrolment Form please call 519-846-3394 or email me at [email protected]. I will forward one to you so you will complete it before September 15.To complete your Application for Cost Share on Thursday, Sep-tember 15, you need the following:If you have livestock, a Premises Identification Number Certifi-cate from OnTrace must be sent with the application; Farm Busi-ness Registration Number (Farm Organization Membership Num-ber); EFP Workbook; Lot, concession and township; Watershed; Soil type; and Project cost and description of project.

Agri-Trend coach Felix Weber spoke at a meeting of the 4-H West Luther Field Crops Club on Aug. 2.

Weber discussed the ser-

vices he provides to farmers and gave a flight demonstration of his battery-operated plane.

Controlled by computer and a global positioning system, the

plane captured multiple aerial photos of Weber’s farm. The photos were compiled into one large image, and, when paired with field scouting, gave a pre-cise analysis of areas within a field.

The club’s next meeting was set for Aug. 22, at Husky Farm Equipment, in Alma.submitted by Willie Vanderpol

GUELPH – The Ontario beef industry has said it is pleased with the provincial announcement that there is an increase in the amount of fund-ing available for the Ontario feeder cattle co-operative pro-gram from $80- to $130-mil-lion on Aug. 4

“This is welcomed news for our industry. The Ontario feeder cattle co-operative pro-gram has been a successful venture for over 20 years. This much needed increase of fund-ing to the program will ensure continued support for the cattle

feeder sector in Ontario and will provide the resources to help our young farmers estab-lish themselves in the cattle industry,” said Curtis Royal, OCA president.

The program, formed in 1990, is administered by the Ontario Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture.

It uses a provincial guar-antee to provide competitive lending to members of all 19 co-operatives in Ontario.

In 2007, OCA agreed to

administer the interest free provision under the Federal Agriculture Marketing Programs Act, within the Ontario program. The avail-ability of the program has trig-gered growth within co-oper-atives.

“Since the inception of this valuable program, over 1.3 million cattle have been purchased by more than 3,000 members,” said Ross Jeffray, chairman of the Ontario feeder cattle co-operative program “The number of young farmers in this program is well above

the industry average, indicating the need for such a program to attract young farmers to the industry. The success of this program is a direct result of diligent directors and staff, the management and honesty of the members, and the support of government, lenders, sales barns, dealers, truckers, and packers.”

Through the years there have been modifications to the program, but the principles remain the same. The board of directors approves members and their purchase requests,

a 5% assurance deposit is required, and cattle are bought and sold in the name of the co-operative. Currently, members can borrow up to a maximum of $250,000.

The OCA is a grassroots organization representing 19,000 beef producers in the province and provides leader-ship to cattlemen from all sec-tors of the industry.

With activities for all ages, the Palmerston Fall Fair grounds is a great place to spend Aug. 26 to 28.

Sponsors are special and that is the theme of this year’s fair.

A Saturday night half price movie might is set for the Norgan Theatre Aug. 20 at 8pm. On Aug. 24, the Ambassador of the Fair com-petition is set.

On Aug. 26 the parade is downtown at 6pm and the arena opens following that. Assembly for the parade is at 5:30pm at Lawrence Park

Friday night, also marks the Taste of Minto - an opportu-nity to taste locally grown and produced foods. That is a great way for the producers to show-case what they produce in the community.

In the past, the commodity groups have served beef, pork, chicken, beans, honey, apple butter, pizza, dairy products, and coffee. With the continued response, organizers are hop-ing for another exciting event.

Saturday starts with a Farmer’s Breakfast and a tail-

gate garage sale at 8am. Breakfast, to 10am, includes

eggs, sausage, and all the fix-ings. Vendors and shoppers are wanted for the tailgate garage sale in the arena parking lot.

Residents are invited to bring their treasures to sell. There is no cost to participate.

The Farmers’ Market runs 9am to 1pm at the arena, offer-ing baking, garden produce, plants, farm fresh products, and more.

Pony rides are available as Glen Catto from Owen Sound returns to the fair.

At 10am, the pet show begins at the barn. Ribbons and prizes will be awarded.

There is a dog agility demo that will thrill. Bring pets, fam-ily, and friends to the Pet Show and enjoy the “dancing dogs.” Shows are at 11am and 2pm.

The Fair’s Baby Show begins at 11am, as does the Tiny Tyke Dairy Calf Show, followed by the Over the Hill Competition.

An open 4-H Dairy Show starts at noon. The Children’s carnival is at 12:30pm.

Organized by the Pal-

merston Evangelical Mis-sionary Church, all children ages 3-10 are welcome. There games, crafts, and prizes. Activities include face paint-ing, a craft table, and the pedal tractor pull at 2pm.

The dog agility show begins at 2pm, followed by the Auction of Champions at 3pm. The event is a chance to bid on the best - first place exhibits of beef, lamb, pork, baked goods and wine.

Weather permitting, there will be helicopter rides at the fairgrounds on Saturday.

Sunday’s events begin at 10am with an interdenomi-national church service 10am in the community centre. The offering is donated to the Food Grains Bank.

That is followed by the Tiny Tyke Beef Show at noon and the Anglican Church chicken supper at 4:30pm. Enjoy a feast of chicken, baked potatoes and homemade pie.

In her message to those looking forward to this year’s fair, Ambassador of the Fair Michelle Koobs said, “The fair is a time where we can look back and remember the past, as well as make memories for the future.”

“This year we are especially thanking and recognizing our sponsors, who allow us to make so many wonderful memo-ries. Our theme, Sponsors are Special, allows us to take time to appreciate the companies and people who make the fair a time of such fun and celebra-tion of our community.”

Koobs thanked the “faith-ful and hardworking volunteers who give so freely of their time and talents to bring joy to everyone in attendance at the fair.”

“My year has been very exciting. From attending dis-trict meeting, annual meeting,

and convention I have made many new friends I will defi-nitely keep for a lifetime. I have had the pleasure of working with the Agricultural Society and learning more about how much work goes into planning a fair. I espe-cially want to thank Kathryn Alton, Christine Fotheringham, and the ambassador committee for their guidance and support, and my sponsor, the Town of North Perth, for this incredible opportunity.”

Koobs looks forward to “seeing our community once again showing how wonderful it is this August.”

President Mert Schneider offered an invitation to all resi-dents of Minto and beyond to attend. “The fair has been an opportunity for rural and town residents to get together and share for over 130 years.”

He said volunteers put in many hours to plan and orga-nize events and displays that will interest a wide variety of fair goers.

He noted the annual tractor Pull in late July is a perennial favourite event. He said the ambassador competition gets everyone into the fair spirit.

“Introduce the youngsters to the activities of the fair. If you make quilts, knitted or crocheted articles, or any other craft, bring it along to share.”

He said fair goers always like to check the culinary arts and canning displays as well as the popular photography sec-tion.

Schneider said the crops section is a busy area with local farmers comparing crops and networking with their neigh-bours.

“The Auction of Champions on Saturday afternoon gives everyone an opportunity to take home some of the best local baking , pork and beef, as

well as a beautiful quilt.”Homecraft president Grace

Canning said, “We have been busy for several months now putting together this prize list for you. Hopefully you will something that is of interest to you, either to enter as an exhibitor or to marvel at.”

She added, “This is our 132nd fair and it wouldn’t be possible to carry on for so many years without the help of our many sponsors. When you visit the fair, please take note of those who have donated a prize and think of them the next time you need something that they supply.”

The first fairs held in Palmerston from 1879 to 1896 were sponsored by the Palmerston Horticultural Society, until provincial cut-backs forced them to cease.

On Jan. 13, 1897 the Palmerston and North Wallace Agricultural Society was formed. It purchased land for the fairgrounds that year. Over the years there were addi-tions, including a racetrack and grandstand (no longer there).

All exhibits were displayed in the yellow barn, on two lev-

els, until the arena was built.The society contributes to

the town. In 1961, land for the Barb Wright ball diamond was donated. In 1967, a swimming pool was built. That land was returned when the current pool was built. In 1976, the largest donation, worth $60,000 then, was made to the Palmerston community complex. In 1996, with a neighbouring landown-er, land and access to it was supplied for a second ball dia-mond. The local soccer club also uses the grounds.

There have been special events. The Palmerston Toy Show was held from 1987 to 1995. The Western Ontario Sheep Dog Trial ran from 1994 to 2003.

The Ambassador of the Fair competition is 33 years old and the annual tractor pull is 30. In 2000 the Farmer’s pre-seeding barbecue was started and con-tinues to be a hit with the farm-ing community.

The Hanover Community Players are searching for the actors who will help to make their Christmas show, A Neverland Christmas Carol, come alive Dec. 8, to 11 for five shows.

From the moment Peter Pan eavesdrops at the Darling’s nursery window and over-hears Mrs. Darling reading A Christmas Carol to her chil-dren, Christmas becomes more spirited than ever.

While the ever-jealous Tinkerbell sulks at Wendy’s presence, wicked Captain Hook and his band of pirates concoct an evil scheme to sabotage the children’s festivities. Now it is up to Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, the Darlings and a comical, Dickens-inspired re-enactment to show Hook the error of his ways and, ultimately, save Christmas in Neverland.

There are 21 roles are avail-able for children, teens, and adults, male and female, who must be prepared to rehearse three times per week in order to learn the music and to work on stage with artistic director Ruth Fletcher, of Durham.

Auditions will be held in the theatre on Sept. 8 and 9 from 7 to 9pm. Prospective

cast members should come prepared with a short musical number to show their vocal range for the music director (a piano and CD player will be available. Either sheet music or a CD as accompaniment may be used if desired).

Each candidate must first fill out a registration form and check the rehearsal schedule for conflicts. All actors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult during the audition.

The first rehearsal will take place on Sept. 11 at 1:30pm.

SHELBURNE - The 61st Canadian Open Old Time Fiddle Championship just finished here and saw Kyle Charron, of Barrie, crowned at the finals on Aug. 6.

This was Charron’s third title. His previous champion-ships were in 2007 (when, at 17, he was the youngest champion in the history of the contest) and in 2009. Award results for all of the competi-tion classes are available at www.shelburnefiddlecontest.on.ca.

Charron also won the Canadian Tune of Choice tro-phy and award with Maytime Swing, by Graham Townsend.

There were about 100 con-testants registered from as far away as Boston, and almost 2,000 people attending

Bill Waite, co-chairman of the Shelburne Rotary Club’s organizing committee, said, “Once again this year we were able to put on a fantastic show for the fiddle championship, thanks in no small part to today’s high calibre of fiddle

playing.”A number of the contes-

tants were also featured as part of the fiddling and stepdanc-ing Saturday night entertain-ment, which included perfor-mances by the Ballagh Bunch, Everything Fitz, the Jenish Sisters, Rittmai, and The Third Degree.

The night’s entertainment also included a clear audi-ence favourite - the Judges’ Showcase, giving Doug McNaughton, Karen Reed, and Louis Schryer a chance

to demonstrate their fiddling skills.

The youngest competitor this year was 8 year old Abbie Steckley-Leis; the oldest was 83 year old Alf Leno.

The most hotly contested class was the junior champi-onship (ages 13 to 18), which had 20 competitors and was won by Ellen Day of Ottawa. The 10-12 year old class was won by Diana Dawydchak of Etobicoke.

A surprise came during the evening when MC Gary Ballagh was presented with the Invincible Vince Mountford Memorial Trophy for Most

Entertaining Fiddler. It was a crowd-pleasing choice and, perhaps for the first time in recorded history, Ballagh was

momentarily struck speech-less.

EDEN MILLS - For a preview of the fiction writers appearing at the 23rd annual Writers’ Festival here, every-one is invited to the intimate setting at the eBar on Aug. 23 for readings, music, prizes, and more.

The event features Scott Chantler, Evan Munday, and Nicole Lundrigan reading from their most recent works. It is an opportunity to enjoy a preview of the plans for this year’s festival.

The eBar is at 41 Quebec Street, in Guelph. Doors open

at 6:30pm with readings and music from 7 to 9pm. There is free admission and a cash bar.

This year’s Writers Festival has some of the biggest names in Canadian fiction lined up.

The festival runs from Sept. 15 to 18, and Festival Sunday this year includes read-ings by local authors Claire Tacon, Chantler and Dan Vyleta, as well as Alison Pick, Andrew Pyper, Terry Fallis, and William Deverell, to name a few.

Eden Mills Writers’ Festival attracts book lovers of all ages,

as well as those who enjoy a relaxing outdoor family event.

Canadian authors of fiction, non fiction, poetry, and prose gather every year in the hamlet and read from their latest work.

Readings for adults, young adults, and children take place every 20 minutes, from four leafy gardens and meadows, behind the homes of Eden Mills residents.

Bring a blanket or a lawn chair - and lounge by the Eramosa River while listen-ing to the words of some of Canada’s best writers.

Summer Festival at Church TheatreHILLSBURGH - The

Summer Festival here at the Century Church Theatre fea-tures Fred Carmichael’s romantic romp, Coming Apart.

The play offers laughter, and perhaps some sympathy, as men and women can iden-tify with a married couple who think their marriage is on the rocks. Pat Beaven, Gary Seibert, Carol McCone, and Patrick C. Smith are the per-

formers.Frances and Colin think

they want a divorce. As they re-live their meeting and sub-sequent romance and marriage, each remembers, and shares with the audience, different versions of their life together, and each has different future in mind.

Meanwhile, their friends Sylvia and Bert try ruse after ploy to get them to recognize

they are still very much in love. The battle of the sexes esca-

lates hilariously. The show runs to Aug.

28, with 2:30pm matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturday and Sundays at $23, and 8pm evening performanc-es on Fridays, Saturdays, and a second Thursday at $27, including taxes and charges.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, it’s time to make up your mind about an important decision that’s going to

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you are in a festive mood and you don’t really know how you are going to cel-

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23You haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, Leo. Others have noticed the

change in your demeanor and have questioned it. Things will subside shortly.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, avoid making any big changes in the next few days. Your personal life is about to undergo a big change, and you will have a lot of choices to consider.

days.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, there’s so much going on daily that it’s easy for you to feel scatter-brained and make mistakes.

It’s definitely hard to focus when there is confusion.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, a relationship is strained and you are asked to mediate the situation. Don’t get too excited about being a referee, though. It comes with much respon-

sibility.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you need a break from things but don’t know what the break will be

just yet. Start jotting down ideas that will relax your mind and your body.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Things are about to heat up and you may feel overwhelmed in the next few

days. Don’t let your temper get the better of you or it could lead to more stress.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, bide your time because change is on the horizon. Events that unfold will

not be what you expected.

Horoscopes- For the fourth week of August -

Here’s How it Works: Sudoku puz-zles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Emancipation celebration - Rosemary Sadlier, the president of the Ontario Black History Society and Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott met July 29 at Queen’s Park, to celebrate Emancipation Day. Sadlier was recognizing Arnott’s private members’ initiative, an act to proclaim Aug. 1 as Emancipation Day in Ontario. On Aug. 1 1834, slavery was abolished in the British Empire, making Ontario a haven for escaped slaves fleeing the southern United States through the Underground Railroad. Arnott worked with a Liberal MPP, Maria Van Bommel, to acknowledge the date in Ontario’s history. Their bill also made history in 2008, being the first ever to be co-sponsored by two MPPs from different parties.

Feathery additions - The Wellington Terrace recently welcomed two additions to its pond. The nursing home’s two swans, nicknamed Daredevil and Dorinda, have become a family with the hatching of their cygnets, Kate and William. They made their first appearance on June 24.

Campfires are a leading cause of wildfires. With the extreme dry conditions in Wellington County, outdoor fire safety is very important. Conditions are ideal for grass or wild land fires.

OUTDOOR FIRESAFETY TIPS.

• Check with your local fire department to ensure it is safe to have an outdoor fire.

• Check with your municipal office to ensure Open Air Burning is permitted.

• Check with your municipality to see if a permit is required.

• Never leave any fire unattended. A sudden gust of wind or change in wind direction can spread a fire very quickly.

• Build a proper fire pit lined with good sized stones or even use an old truck tire rim.

• Clear all dry and combustible materials, including dry vegetation, away from your fire pit.

• Burn clean, dry, hard wood.

• Keep a large bucket of water handy to put the fire out if necessary and cool the fire embers.

• Ensure any outdoor fire is completely extinguished before you leave it.

• Check the fire 15 to 30 minutes after you put it out to make sure it did not start up again.

DID YOU KNOW?

It is illegal to have open air fires when the Ministry of the Environment issues a Smog Alert.
