The article includes a number of fascinating photographs.(Part One of Sharalynn’s study, printed in the 2008 WHS Volume,is still available).Many of you may already know of Marie Voisin’swonderful book William Scott and His Extended Family, publishedlast year. Marie began what she calls her “love affair” withWilliam Scott, a founder of New Hamburg, when she and herhusband Greg purchased Scott’s beautiful stone house on BleamsRoad.

PROTECT YOUR BODY DURING THE SUMMER SEASONThe summer season is upon us, which for many individuals,means spending time outdoors and becoming more physicallyactive. Whether you’re an aspiring athlete, a serious naturelover, or someone who enjoys fun in the sun, there are specialprecautions that need to be taken to protect your body during thesummer season.1. Drink plenty of water: The body’s water supply isresponsible for many important functions such as digestion,controlling body temperature, and protecting our joints byproviding lubrication and cushioning. In warmer temperatures,we lose more water from the body through increasedperspiration. The consequences of inadequate water intake/dehydration may include: headaches, fatigue, digestiveproblems, joint pain, muscle pain and cramping. Therefore,special care should be taken to replenish fluids lost during thesummer season. Limit diuretics such as caffeinated andalcoholic beverages which actually drain the body of water.2. Get just enough sun: Appropriate sun exposure canprovide many health benefits associated with the naturalproduction of Vitamin D. Avoid sunburn which is a result ofoverexposure to the sun’s UV radiation and can contribute tocertain skin cancers, and a premature aging and wrinkling ofthe skin. To protect yourself, apply sunscreen regularly, wear awide-brim hat and light-colored clothing that covers yourexposed skin. Your eyes should also be protected with UVblocking sunglasses. Outdoor activities and sports should belimited to the early morning or late afternoon when UV raysare not as strong. Be cautious on cloudy days, as your skin isBaden Feed & Supply Ltd.76 Mill St, Baden Ontario N3A 2N6519-634-5474 / 1-800-265-2365We are hosting aHorse Consignment Yard SaleSaturday June 26th8 am to 2 pm.By Dr. John A. Papa, D.C.still susceptible to burn under these conditions.3. Think safety first: Water sports and other outdoor activitiesshould always be performed with safety in mind. This meanswearing a life jacket in deeper water or if you are not a strongswimmer. Parents should always keep a watchful eye on youngchildren around water. Diving into shallow or unknown watersshould never be performed in order to eliminate the chance ofserious spinal injury. Running on pool decks may result inserious slip and fall injuries. When bicycling or in-line skating,be sure to wear bright reflective clothing and protective headgear.Wearing appropriate footwear for the activities you areperforming will give you balance, support, and protection.4. Prepare your body for activity and exercise: There aremany activities made more enjoyable during the summer seasonsuch as gardening, walking, running, swimming, canoeing,bicycling, and golfing to name a few. Prepare your body forphysical activity by stimulating the joints and muscles, andincreasing blood circulation with a proper warm-up. If you havebeen inactive for a period of time, gradually ease into activity andtake it slow.Following the above rules and safety tips can go a long way inprotecting your body during the summer season.

A Message FromWaterloo Regional PoliceSergeant Don Scott of the New Hamburg Detachment ofthe Waterloo Regional Police would like to remindeveryone to lock their cars all the time. During theVictoria Day Weekend the local police were called out totwenty-auto theft calls in Wilmot Township.You are invited to attend a FREECommunity WorkshopWednesday, June 23, 20101:30-3:30 p.m.These types of thefts are called “Crimes Of Opportunity”.Thieves will walk up and down driveways and cars thatare unlocked or have valuables left in them will be atarget. Each break- in consumes one hour of apoliceman’s time plus a lot of grief for the owner. In twoof the break-ins spray paint was sprayed in the vehicle.We all like to think that these types of crimes happen incities, but it does happen in Wilmot Township. Thesecrimes, for the most part, are totally avoidable. Lock yourcars and don’t leave valuables in them.It was also reported that on Sunday May 23rd, 2010 inthe evening, someone stole two lawn gnomes from afront yard, one was a personal valuable gift.You know who you are, so please quietly returnthem and it would undo the wrong you committed.Nithview Community Auditorium200 Boulee Street, New HamburgRefreshments ProvidedParking available in lot directly acrossfrom Nithview or along Boulee StreetFeaturing: Harmony Interactive Theatre TroupeWaterloo Region Elder Abuse Response TeamThrough interactive drama and dialogue, the audience willconsider elder rights within our community and preventionstrategies for personal well-being.

“Get It Together”.with Donna & RhondaLet US Help Take Care of YOU!This month we continue our 5 part“HEART” series. These five steps,when completed in order, are whatwe consider to be the backbone of organizing.These are the steps in the process that we have learnedso far:Step one is H - Handle & Sort (See April issue of theOutlook for more details)Step two is E - Evaluate (See May issue of the Outlookfor more details)This month we will learn about A — Assign a Home. Youhave heard us share the phrase “everything needs ahome” . . . well, this is the step in which we assign a homefor all the items we have decided to keep. One of the mostimportant things to consider is accessibility. As eachitem is assigned a home, it should be easy to retrieve andeasy to put away. We also need to avoid stacking. Wemight have a neat stack of containers but what happensif we need to get into that bottom bin to put somethingaway? It will end up sitting on top of the top bin or on thefloor beside the stack because we can’t be bothered tounstack everything to get in the bottom bin. Oursuggestion would be to invest in some good shelving toavoid stacking. Labelling is another important step inassigning a home. Ideally, we would love for you to labelthe bin/container AND the shelf it sits on, so once again itis easy to return when you are all finished. Labellingpromotes independence and we have a realisticexpectation for EVERYONE in the family to know where thehome is and then return it when they are finished with it!Remember . . . everything needs a home”!Mariko OgasawaraRegistered Reflexologist 519-634-8935Reflexology: Relieves tensionImproves circulationPromotes natural healingReflexology Association of CanadaReflexology Registration Council of OntarioWhite OrchidSkin Care & NailsOver 14 Years of ExperienceThe summer ishere and timeto show offthose toes!Call Carrie519-634-8436In order . . . to live a life of purposeVisit www.heartofthematter.ca for more tips.Dr. William SlingerDental Office 519-662-3510Family & Cosmetic Dentistry“Good Things Start with a SmileNew Patients WelcomeServing your community since 1977Page 12Baden Outlook

Baden BirdingBy Dave Rogalsky and Ken QuanzIn the middle 1980s I was living in southernManitoba. As the Associate Pastor of thecongregation I got to drive out to various people’s places inthe country. I still remember the day when I saw a hugehawk in a field belonging to a congregationalmember. I mentioned it to him on Sunday. Hisanswer caught me by surprise: “I don’t think werealize how close we came to doing away with all of them.” Infurther conversation he mentioned the banning of DDT and thesubsequent slow return of birds and animals to the prairie.Rachel Carson wrote the book Silent Spring in 1962but it took a few more years before people believed herpremise – we were poisoning the birds to the point that somespring there would be no robins or meadow larks singing in ourtrees or fields. In Andy Bezener’s Birds of Ontario he notes“now that the use of DDT has been banned throughout NorthAmerica, Cooper’s Hawks are slowly recolonizing formerhabitats in southern Ontario” (p. 93). Bezener was writing in2000, 38 years after Carson wrote and 31 years after the 1969Canadian ban on DDT.The problem with chemicals is that they concentrate inanimals which are higher in the food chain. Rodents will ingestsome but store it in their system. Hawks will eat the rodents andget higher doses. It has taken them much longer to rebound.My son studies at the University of Waterloo. He noted thatwhen he got there in 2001 there were many slow moving, fatsquirrels on campus, and no hawks. By 2009 there were fewer,skinny and fast moving squirrels, and the hawks were back.GIC Rates as of June 11, 20101 YR3 YR5 YR1.7%3.25%3.9%TERMSAVAILABLE FROM30 DAYS AND UPSo when you watch the hawks circling on a hotsummer day, or skimming across the fields at breakneck speeds, remember how inter-related they andwe are.When identifying hawks it is always worthremembering two key points: location and general body shape.Buteo hawks are broad-winged, high-soaring hawks, usuallyseen perched or flying in open areas where they hunt their prey.During the spring nesting period you will often see them beingharassed by small birds which are protecting their nest sites.The most common local Buteo is the Red-tailed Hawk.Accipiter hawks are low-flying, woodland hawks with shortwings and long tails which help them increase their speed andagility. Look for these hawks in forested lands, along forestedges, and near your bird feeder as they hunt for small rodentsand song birds. All three species, Sharp-shinned Hawk,Cooper’s Hawk, and Northern Goshawk are well represented inWilmot Township. Osprey, a fish eating hawk, is almost alwaysseen nesting and hunting along rivers. These birds are slowlyrecovering in numbers in our area. The most common memberof the Falcon family in Wilmot is the American Kestrel, oftenseen perched on hydro and telephone wires along roads wherethe grassy areas support higher populations of small rodentsand insects. These small hawks have long wings which are bentback like a fighter jet with which they share the ability for greatspeed. Other members of this family include the Merlin and thePeregrine Falcon, both rarely spotted in Wilmot.RIVERSIDELANES182 Union Street, New HamburgAll companies are C.D.I.C. members.The best choice is here DOUG WAGNER, CFPFINANCIAL ADVISOR662-4001REASON #5 TO GO BOWLINGThere are hundreds of reasons to gobowling - like parties.
