WHAT'S ON WOODSTOCK | June/July/August 2018 3

City's challenge in Cowan Woodstock's Soccer Club approached City Council in April with bad news. It couldn't afford to keep operating the Cowan Park facility. The City will take over operations, but it won't be without challenges.

"It's a great facility," says the City's Director of Parks and Recreation Brian Connors, "but it's come to us after the 2018 budgets had already been passed."

That means the operational budget will have to come from somewhere else, likely the City's reserve funds. It also means there's going to be a transition period.

"Council has directed us (Parks and Recreation staff) to come up with a plan to operate the facility, and for major user groups, soccer and volleyball, on-going operations should proceed with only a few hiccups," he says.

The building will remain open through the summer, he says, but with shorter hours, possibly through the fall and winter. It means daytime activities, like the indoor walking track, might have to be suspended.

"Fortunately, there's an identical outdoor track nearby."

Keeping the building open during the day, when fewer people use the facility, is expensive. "Something as simple as keeping the lights on inside is expensive. Then there is ■itatfing," he says.

It's not just the indoor facility that needs to be maintained. "There are some 50 acres of outdoor fields."

While taking over the facility came as a bit of a surprise, Connors says it's a wonderful resource.

Park transition

© Cowan Park ■I

Cowan Park is iransitiomny to the City after the Wuoastock Soccer Club came to the conclusion they can no longer operate it.

"It was never part of our strategic plan, but we'll adapt.

There will be some changes, though — you don't take over this type of operation without facing a few challenges."

Connors says he looks forward to the challenge.

"We'll get as many groups in there as we can, but the growth (in usage) will be from the shoulders out — Mondays to Fridays in the evenings, and sporadic at other times depending on demand."

Tournament weekends, for example, likely won't change at all. It's not unusual for hundreds of people to be on the fields during a tournament. Even the indoor hall will be filled as much as possible.

'There's a cost to operating it, but if someone wants to use the hall, if we can staff it, we'll do it."

Community Planting Event Saturday June 9th The Summer Solstice is just around the corner and the warm weather has brought an abundance of life back to Southern Ontario. Bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators are busy doing their jobs to ensure that certain crops and many native plants are able to reproduce during our short growing season.

Pollinators are getting a helping hand in Woodstock with the creation of the Donald Thompson Park Pollinaror Habitat.

This spring, nearly 2-acres of a grassy, underutilized field in Donald Thompson Park in Woodstock was tilled up and seeded with native wildflowers. These wildflowers will become established this season and will eventually turn into a beautiful pollinator habitat. If you would like to participate and help out pollinators please come out to our community planting event.

The HHW Depot on James Street is set to open on Weanesday, June ^Oth. It will be open weekly Wednesday through Saturday, 10 -6.

New Household Hazardous Waste depot key to waste management strategy If you love the challenges faced by a changing world, it's a great time to be a municipal engineer. Big changes are already happening in energy generation management and distribution, and in municipal waste management. On the horizon — with driverless cars — will be a revolution in transportation. Municipal engineers will have to deal with all three.

It's not just the implications of changing technology, it's keeping up with the folks who make the rules. In the case of municipal waste management in Woodstock, that is the provincial Ministry of Environment. Rules on handling things like car tires, batteries, paints, even light bulbs, are changing all the time.

"We're prepared to handle compact fluorescent light bulbs (which contain hazardous mercury), but now people are using LEDs (which contain copper — hazardous, but also valuable), and we have to be prepared to handle them, too," says the City's Works Superintendent Alex Piggott.

"Urban mining" is the new term used for the science of extracting valuable metals from electronic waste. The European Union estimates there is $85 billion (CDN) worth of precious metals currently sitting in discarded electronics.

"It's become a commodity business," he says. "Scrap metal has always been valuable, but now there s value in waste oil and electronics." Just how valuable changes almost day-to-day, like the commodities market.

Not only that, it requires specialist companies to extract that value.

"Our new household hazardous waste depot (at Springbank and James Streets) will use five different 16 WHAT'S ON WOODSTOCK | June/July/August 2018

specialist contractors to handle the waste that comes in."

There are different contractors for different types of waste: tires, metals, electronics, etc.

The new showpiece facility officially opens June 20. For citizens of Woodstock, it all has to be straightforward and easy to use.

"It will be a very easy facility to use," he says. "You'll meet an attendant who will verify you are a Woodstock resident, determine the type of waste you have, and direct you to the appropriate area of the facility.

This pre-sorting ability of the new depot means it can accept more kinds of waste. "We can accept construction materials, now," material that is not allowed at curbside pick up.

"The depot will be open Wednesdays to Saturdays 10:00-6:00, so there is ample opportunity for people to use it."

The one thing the new depot won't accept is residential garbage, says Piggott. "This is for the big stuff."

The new Household Hazardous Waste Depot, is an important part of the city's overall waste strategy.

"The County of Oxford has zero waste (to landfill) as their goal, and that's always our plan," he says.

The Woodstock "Misfits'' Women's Roller Derby team formed over 5 years ago. They've competed against teams from Stratford, London, Hamilton, Simcoe and Toronto. They are very active in the community often participating in not for profit events and local programs and welcome new comers that might want to give roller derby a try. The introduction to their website reads, "With years of annual fresh meat; aged and tenderized to perfection, our bouts give you what you're looking for. Flying elbows of fury, concrete battered buttcheeks, and skull smoking smash and grabs."

Born February 13, 1822, Homer Pratt Brown came to Ontario with his parents in 1835 before l arriving in Woodstock in 1844. Ten years later, he was the sole proprietor of Woodstock Iron Works up until 1867. In 1860 built home at 82 Wellington North (Comely Place) that continues as a personal residence. Brown was an Oxford Rifles officer; one of the founders of Oxford Permanent Loan and Savings, Mayor, Member of Council for 14 years and Magistrate in 1862. He was appointed County Treasurer in 1869. He died three years later. By Paul Roberts

The George Leslie Mackay statue on the County Courthouse grounds has scenes from his life portrayed in his beard. There are also three sayings hidden behind the statue. Two are printed, saying, "Far Formosa is dear to my heart," and "The isles shall wait for his law." What is the third statement - the only one in script?

WHERE

YOU UUE The stately Vansittart Avenue is named for Woodstock's official founder, Admiral Henry Vansittart. Vansittart wasn't the first settler, he merely owned the land, and had a town plot drawn up. Many of the streets in the old north end of Woodstock are named for Vansittart's colleagues, friends and relatives. The Admiral himself was a very well-connected gentleman. His uncle was a Governor of Bengal and his first cousin was Baron of Bcxley.

Connections were very important in the British Royal Navy at the time, but Henry had worked his way up to admiral. Born in 1777, by the time he was 14, he was serving on a navy ship patrolling the waters around Newfoundland. He was what we would call today a "cadet," destined to become an officer.

It was an unsettled time. A long period of war with France wouldn't end until 1815, and, in the meantime, there was a brief war with the Dutch. At 16, Henry found himself serving on an admiral's flagship, fighting the French in the Mediterranean. Seriously wounded at the siege of Toulon, he was shipped back to England in 1795 aboard the famous HMS Victory.

He became a Lieutenant aboard the HMS Stately and saw action against the Dutch off the Cape of Good

Hope. He received his first command of the HMS Hermes in 1798. His big break came aboard the HMS Fortunee, which he commanded as a full captain for 9 years. Fortunee was a 5th-rate ship. British warships fell into six rating categories. The first four were considered ships of the line. Commanding a fifth rate, however, was a sought-after job. These fast ships (later rated as "frigates") would patrol ahead of the fleet, and were most likely to encounter the enemy, and therefore more likely to take enemy ships as prizes.

Fortunee was a new (built in 1800) and fast ship, carrying 36 guns, and patrolling the trade routes between England and the West Indies.

The French used privateers to try to disrupt It these trade routes. Privateers were privately-owned ships operating under Letters Marque — a license that allowed them to attack belligerent vessels while excusing their crews from piracy laws.

The aptly-named Fortunee made Vansittart a fortune. Captain's pay at the time was £400 (about $50,000 today), but the average payout in prize money for a captain capturing a French privateer was double that.

Vansittart captured six privateers during his time as captain — a considerable fortune.

He was given the ship of the line HMS Clarence to command in 1811, and remained on her until the end of the war. He was promoted Rear Admiral in 1830 and Vice Admiral in 1841 — long after his days at sea were over.

By the time he came to Woodstock, he was a half-pay officer. This meant he was receiving half the pay of an active duty seaman, but the Navy could recall him at any time. Ffe was never recalled, and died in Eastwood in 1843.

Access" 1] IMty: Emergency Preparedness In 2013, arouna 400,000 Toronto hydro customers Mere faced with power outages for up to 11 days due to extreme weather conditions.

Additionally, the recent tornado in tne town ot Angus resulted in 100 homes facing significant damages leading to the evacuation of the Town. These among other natural disasters and events have displayed the vulnerability of Ontario families and individuals to extreme weather events. These storms have not only heightened the need for emergency preparedness for families and individuals but also for persons with disabilities. In instances where power outages, evacuations, flash floods, etc, occur, it is highly important that persons with disabilities have an emergency plan in place to ensure that their needs are sought after. A recent article in abilities magazine states that there are three (3) ways to plan for an emergency: (1) Know the Risks, (2) Have a Plan, and (3) Make a Disaster-Preparedness Kit. 1. Know the Risks In order to be fully prepared for any type of emergency it is important that individuals do not rule out specific types of disasters, and to plan accordingly. Overlooking natural disasters within specific geographical areas may lead to being undtrprepared in emergency situations. Therefore knowing all of the possible risks is an important aspect in the preparation of emergency planning.

want to communicate this with friends and family in their emergency planning. In light of these instances, individuals may want to consider forming a personal support network consisting of friends, family, and neighbours.

As identified through the spring addition of abilities magazine and through the American Red Cross Association, there are seven (7) important items to discuss with a Personal Support Network.

These discussions include: 1.

Making arrangements orior to an emergency, such as arranging your personal support network to immediately check on you after a disaster, and if needed, offer assistance.

2.

The exchange of important keys.

3.

Showing them where you keep your emergency supplies.

4.

Sharing copies of your relevant emergency documents, evacuation plans, and health card.

5.

Agreeing on and practicing methods for contacting each other in an emergency. Do not count on telephones working.

6.

Notifying each other when you are going out of town and when you will return.

7.

Finally, the relationship should be mutual. You should learn about each other's needs and how to help each other in an emergency. You might take responsibility tor food supplies and preparation, and organizing neighborhood watch meetings, among other things.

Source, abilities magazine, Issue 96, Spring 2014

2. Have a Plan

3. Make a disaster-preparedness kit

The Emergency Preparedness Guide from Emergency Management Ontario states that persons with disabilities should develop emergency plans that are altered to their specific needs. For instance, if an individual has mobility issues, he/she may want to coordinate with friends and family to ensure that their mobility needs are taken care of during the event of an evacuation. An individual who has a hearing impairment may also not be able to hear someone knocking on their door during an evacuation and may

The third and final step is to make a disasterpreparedness kit. Emergency Management Ontario recommends that the best method to prepare for an emergency is to develop emergency kits that allow individuals to become self-reliant for at least three (3) days immediately after or during an emergency. Packing a three (3) day supply allows the individual to survive in situations where food, water, and medical supplies are scarce.
