Point of View

Don’t let this plant turn you into a “vampire” Beware: there’s a monster at the roadside. While hardly new, the wild parsnip plant is causing some major trouble in eastern Ontario .

The root of the parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is what you buy in the produce section of your grocery store. It’s plentiful in soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, Vitamin C, and B-complex vitamins such as folic acid.

We have been receiving a lot of reports for wild parsnip this summer.

But the rest of the plant — the part you never see in the grocery store — is poisonous and its sap can cause a type of serious chemical burn.

Exposure to wild parsnip can change lives drastically because its toxins react on your skin to cause an extreme sensitivity to the ultraviolet rays found in sunlight.

That’s why an unlucky gardener in Ottawa nicknamed it “Vampire Syndrome”. After encountering wild parsnip in her garden in late June, Sherry Steeves developed swollen and blistered skin. She’s been told she’ll have to avoid direct sunlight for three years.

According to Ontario’s Invading Species Awareness Program, the wild parsnip is full of sap that can react with sunlight, causing serious lesions, rashes, and blisters — even blindness.

It’s called phytophotodermatitis — and if it happens to you, you’ll have to cover up all summer long (or longer) and maybe even carry a sun umbrella.

Wild parsnip is commonly found along roadsides, but is particularly pervasive right now in Ontario (photo: Wikipedia) The plant looks similar to Queen Anne’s Lace but with a yellowish flower.

“Apart from the fact that it is an invasive species, there are also health concerns,” photographer Tim Bellhouse explains. “The liquid in the stem of this plant is photo-toxic — this means that it reacts with sunlight and cause mild to severe burns. The impact is similar to but less severe than giant hogweed.” Giant hogweed is another invasive plant found in Ontario.

Others have recently spotted wild parsnip growing and blooming in Wasaga Beach at Twin Creeks Golf & Country Club on the 17th & 18th Hole right now.

The plant itself, a member of the same family as carrots and parsley, was brought over from Europe and Asia, likely by European settlers who grew it for the edible root. Over decades, the plant, which has an aptitude to spread, has become prolific in meadows and at roadsides. It is found everywhere in Canada, except Nunavut, and it is becoming more prolific in Ontario.

“We have been receiving a lot of reports for wild parsnip this summer,” says Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters invasive species expert Alison Kirkpatrick.

She says wild parsnip is a “monocarpic perennial,” meaning it is a plant that matures, flowers and fruits once, and then dies.

“It is, however, a prolific seed producer. One plant produces, on average, 975 seeds that can create new plants, or are easily spread to new areas.”

She says if you think you see wild parsnip, take a picture, record the location, and contact the Invading Species Species Awareness Program at 1-800-563-7711, or email info@invadingspecies.com.

Other tips: Keep pets and animals clear of wild parsnip, as the sap can be transferred on their fur.

In areas with wild parsnip, wear protective clothing, including waterproof gloves, long-sleeved shirts and pants, and eye protection. Then, when you take off the protective clothing, do so carefully to reduce the risk of skin coming into contact with sap. Experts suggest washing the gloves with soap and water while you are still clothed, then remove other clothing, and rewash the gloves before you take them off.

If your skin comes into contact with the sap, wash thoroughly with soap and water and avoid exposure of the affected skin to sunlight. Seek medical attention if you develop a rash or blisters. : http://www.kawarthanow.com/kawarthanowguide/2015/07/19/wildparsnip/#ixzz3gfQ3Cc00

Kendra's Popeye Spinach Lasagna On Friday June 26, Gayle and I had the privilege of joining Jim Basinger.and Ruth Lowther in judging Wasaga Beach Presbyterian Church's first Lasagna competition. The event was organized

by Terry Densmore and out of the 14 candidates that submitted entries, the most difficult task was finding one that stood out above all others. That was the problem...They were all exceptional.

The judges were looking for taste, originality, use of ingredients, and which ones might be a healthier choice. My only regret is that I only have room in this column for one recipe. One in particular that I thought set the bar for vegetarian pasta was a recipe titled " Popeye's Spinach Lasagna" submitted by Kendra Doner. Delicious and nutritious it combines fresh ingredients and ready made sauces to make it a quick , easy, and healthy choice.

Kendra's Popeye Spinach Lasagna Spinach lasagna noodles about 15 1 liter vegetable spaghetti sauce 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian spices 1 green and 1 yellow zuchinni diced 1 large onion diced 1 each green, yellow and red peppers diced 8 oz mushrooms sliced 1 bag fresh chopped spinach Spices of your choosing Mozzarella cheese 1 lb Ricotta Cheese 8 oz Sautee your vegetables in a bit of olive oil and Italian dressing. Add your sauce and the spices of your choice and simmer until the vegetables are tender.

Alternate layers of sauce and lasagna noodles and top each layer with mozzrella cheese adn ricotta. On the top layer...sprinkle mozzarella cheese and dollop with ricotta Kendra Doner Nothing goes better with pasta than a Caesar salad.

Homemade Caesar Salad 4-6 garlic cloves 2 oz vinegar 1 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper ½ tsp mustard 2 whole eggs About 2 cups oil (canola and olive blend) Put all of the ingredients except the oil in a food processor. Pour the oil slowly in and blend until thick and creamy. Toss with romaine lettuce, top with seasoned croutons, bacon bits and parmesan cheese.Makes an excellent dip for vegetables.Keeps for about a week refrigerated in a tightly sealed container.

The Martels’ Farewell Tour The Martels recently performed at Canada Day at Playland Square where I had an opportunity to chat with Madeleine French and Gary French at Sweet Tooth Candy Emporium on Mosley Street prior to their sound check.

In 2015 The Martels Rock’n Roll Show announced their retirement tour after 58 years playing rock’n roll. The band is expected to perform until the end of the year and have released their fourth CD “Lost in the Fifties”. “I feel old. It’s kind of an emotional ride this year with our last show taking place in Penetanguishene on October 25th,” said Gary French, lead vocals and drums. The original band members have been performing together since 1957 where they formed The Corvettes and played for Teen Town Sock Hops across Ontario.

A few years later, the Manager for Canada’s First Teen Idol, Bobby Curtola, discovered the band and hired them. The Martels is a total entertainment package with awesome lights, sound and musicians. The show is a high energy of the late 50’s and early 60’s. The Martels Rock’n Roll Show fills the dance floor right from the first song. According to Gary, The Martels are known for their lives at Kempenfest in Barrie having participated for so many years they are often referred to as “Martels Monday”. This year marks their 25th anniversary. “No other bands have done that Their success story in keeping the band together is their respect with each other. They don't really have a leader that makes the decisions. “We all have our opinion naturally, we have people looking at organizing rehearsals everybody has a part to play. We had our moments but it’s been going on for too long to spoil it at this point,” said Gary. In 2011 The Martels were honoured with an unveiling of a street sign “The Martels Lane” as a special recognition for their contribution to the town of Midland who felt it was fitting since they took people down to memory lane. “We were totally surprised! It wasn’t the band’s idea. A good friend of ours was running the event and pitch it to the town,” said Madeleine French, one of the three lead singers and piano. “The Martels Lane takes you down to the stage area in Little Park Lake where we appeared many times.” As far as future plans both Madeleine and Gary will keep busy.

“Only two musicians of The Martels will retire some of us play with other band members as well.

We will be playing our music it’s not like we packed it in and not going to sing anymore.” Gary is a member of The Desotos and Stir it Up where Madeleine is also part of the group.

When asked how they want to be remembered “A band that had a great time playing and gave the people what they want and brought enjoyment to their life”, said Gary.

Most people at the Beach would say what’s broadband? Well for the curious it’s a high speed fibre optic digital connection to the rest of the developed world. To get it down to the lowest common denominator it means future jobs in Wasaga Beach.

And high paying jobs at that.

Here’s an example. There is a world class explainer video company called Switch Video that works for many of the great world brand companies we would recognize across the globe.

They reside in Collingwood Ontario and employ 25 people.

They started out in Creemore and moved to Collingwood.

Why? Because they did not have a substantive enough high speed data connection to be able to communicate with their clients who are in all the other parts of the world.

High speed data connections in Wasaga Beach would mean that we could attract the world’s best and the brightest to come and live, work and play here because they would have the capability to have a great life in Wasaga Beach and work locally while doing this work for their clients that are located in Toronto, LA, New York, Sidney, Australia, Hong Kong and where ever.

These kinds of workers bring what we call the “Creative Economy” to world class destinations like Wasaga Beach.

They are filmmakers, inventors, entrepreneurs, programmers, engineers, artists, entertainers, recording company technicians, etc.

South Western Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) project wants to build an ‘ultra-high-speed’ network in western Ontario. This could mean there could be a big fibre optic pipe coming right down County Highway 92 right through the Beach. If we do not plan to have a few nodes along this line in Wasaga Beach, shame on us.

Simcoe County CAO Mark Aitken said most of the counties involved are considering the project’s financial implications, which is estimated at $500,000 annually over five years for the county.

Here’s an opportunity we cannot afford to miss. It would mean getting table stakes to the new economy and have a herculean chance to thrive since our home is a great place to be and will be much better year round when the new economy comes to town.

So what should we do now? Let’s talk about it. I’m sure the Wasaga Beach Chamber of Commerce would want to hold a forum about it. Here’s our chance to have discussions with education and training leaders, related industry, local businesses and government to develop a long term plan to make it happen.

Ready for the discussion? Send me your thoughts, Beach Booster can start the ball rolling.

“Be the Beach”, send me your thoughts and comments at Gary@beachBOOSTER.com. Your efforts count in making this community the preferred place in which to live, work and play.

Gary is president of Critel Professional Services, www.critel.ca, chairs the Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival and lives and works and plays in Wasaga Beach.

Population approx. 20,000. In Nichol Township, Wellington County, on the Grand River and Hwy 8 and County Rds 19 & 21, 22 km North West of Guelph. The town is named after Scottish lawyer Adam Fergusson, who came to Canada in 1831 to explore colonization possibilities for the Highland Society of Scotland. He returned two years later with six of his seven sons and another lawyer, James Webster. He purchased 7,300 acres (2,956 ha) and laid out a townsite. The settlement was called Little Falls for a time but took the name Fergus when a post office opened in 1836. More than 200 19th-century buildings remain in the town and the annual Fergus Highland Games, held on the second Saturday of August, are one of the largest and best-attended Highland Games in North America. The Fergus Curling Club, formed in 1834, has been in continuous operation longer than any other curling club in Ontario.

The pauper’s grave of drunkard George Clephane draws visitors to Fergus from around the world. He is immortalized in the gospel song “The Ninety and Nine” written by his sister Elizabeth.

Edwin Walter Chadwick (born May 8, 1933 in Fergus, Ontartio) is a retired Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played in the National Hockey League during the Original Six era for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins.

Chadwick started his NHL career in the 1955–56 season by playing five games for the Toronto Maple Leafs as a replacement for injured future-hall-of-famer Harry Lumley.

Over the next two seasons Chadwick would play 140 consecutive regular season games, which is still a Leafs team record. However Chadwick's success in the NHL was shortlived, as his playing time dropped off and he was shipped down to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.

Chadwick only managed to play four more NHL games, as a member of the Boston Bruins in 1961–62. Chadwick would play the remainder of his days in the AHL, first for the Hershey Bears, and then the Buffalo Bisons before retiring in 1968.

Expert answers to your health and wellness questions

by Jessica Brown, MXM(Member Experience Manger), CSEP-CPT

Question: I’ve read about “ladder” style workouts and would like to incorporate these into my weekly strength training routine. Can you provide an explanation and some examples to help me get started?

Answer: A ladder workout is a method of training where you perform one or more exercises with an ascending and descending repetition pattern. Beginner ladder workouts typically include only one exercise, while advanced ladder workouts include two or three exercise linked together (one after another with little rest in between). A sample beginner ladder workout would be performing one push up, then taking a 15 second rest and repeating this sequence adding one rep all the way to five and then descending back down for a total or 25 push ups. A more advanced example of a ladder workout could include 3 exercises such as pull-ups, squats and abdominal crunches. You would perform one pull-up, two squats, and three crunches followed by a 30-second rest. Moving up the ladder, you would then perform two pull-ups, four squats, and six crunches before resting another 30 seconds. Repeat the sequence 4-6 times increasing reps with each ladder and then work your way back down the ladder by decreasing the number of reps for each exercise.

Ladder workouts can build strength and endurance, as well as provide variety in your workouts.

Question: How do I figure out my resting heart rate and what is a typical range for adults?

Answer: A typical resting heart rate for an adult ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Your resting heart rate is an indicator of the fitness of your cardiac muscles. At rest, your heart rate signifies the heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need to sustain minimal Enrique Photo Art

activity. To find your true resting heart rate, you would need to have someone watch you sleep and observe your lowest heart rate during deep rest. As you can imagine, this is very difficult to do! Instead, to track and utilize this valuable information, most practitioners suggest finding your pulse and counting the number of heartbeats in a minute as soon as you wake up and while still lying in bed. The best places to find your pulse are the wrists, inside of your elbow, and side of your neck. Press your index and middle finger lightly into one of these areas and count the beat of your heart. You will obtain a better measurement if you wake naturally (e.g. no alarm). If you track your heart rate over time, you will begin to find your average resting heart rate. This number should go down as you become more fit.

Your Duck is Dead– A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."

The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet..

"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"

The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."
