TREATS TO AVOID

BETTER TREAT CHOICES

BEST TREAT CHOICES

GUMMIES • SOUR CANDY BUBBLE GUM • CARAMEL

MILK CHOCOLATE PRETZELS • CRACKERS

DARK CHOCOLATE SUGAR-FREE GUM

The chewy, sticky candies get stuck in the grooves and crevices of the teeth, making it hard for saliva to wash them away. This can lead to tooth decay.

Sour candies have a high acidity content, which breaks down tooth enamel, making teeth susceptible to a mouth monster invasion.

Better choices include milk chocolate and snacksize packets of pretzels or crackers. These options are less sticky and do not have high acidity, therefore are less harmful to teeth than gummies, caramels or sour candies. However, it’s important to limit snacking overall because a child’s dental health depends less on what they eat and more on how often they eat it.

Dark chocolate contain antioxidants that can inhibit bacteria from sticking to the teeth, preventing infections in gums and battling tooth decay.

Sugar-free gum made with xylitol promotes the growth of tooth-protective, non-acidic bacteria, which can make it nearly impossible for bacteria and plaque to form.

The Burlington Model Railway Club welcomed visitors to their open house on August 25th at their location on Hidden Valley Drive. Instead of charging admission, the club accepts donations from visitors. The club’s goals are to promote the hobby of model railroading, improve skills of club members and have fun building and running the trains. Skill levels vary from beginner to expert.

The level of detail on the trains, miniature people and accessories such as the tiny Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet are just fascinating to see. Watch for more viewing opportunities at the clubhouse located beside Hidden Valley Park. All visitors are welcome and donations appreciated.

Waterdown Village

FARMERS MARKET

By Leslie Styles

It was another great day at the Waterdown Village Farmers Market which has been going strong all summer long and will continue to do so every Saturday morning until October.

Each week you’ll find a wide variety of farm vendors selling a mix of organic and conventional fresh foods as well as delicious prepared foods such as pirogies, pies, tarts and more. Don’t be afraid to bring the kids as there are several activities to keep them entertained. Speaking of entertainment, market goers were treated to live music from Mark Fletcher and his Mandela and Irish Whistle. It was truly a great experience for all the senses!

Canada’s Largest

RIBFEST

By Leslie Styles

Labour Day weekend saw the 24th anniversary of Canada’s largest Ribfest, proudly organized by the Rotary Club of Burlington Lakeshore. Since the very first Ribfest in 1996, all proceeds collected have gone to charity.

A lineup of great bands rocked the main stage at Spencer Smith park, including Stone Monkeys, Bare Blue Sea and many others. Award-winning rib chefs set up giant barbecues in the park; Fat Boys Ribs, Carolina Ribs, Memphis Blazin’ BBQ, Billy Bones, and so many more. There were inflatable slides and jumpers for the little people, Ferris wheel, and other amusement park rides near the pier. The park was hopping with people for the whole weekend, another great success for Rotary Burlington Lakeshore and all of the charities they support.

Can you tell us what inspired you to get into the insurance and financial services field?

My Dad, Bryan Burnside, has been an Insurance Agent for over 50 years now, so seeing how much he enjoyed his work was in inspiration to me.

What are the keys to being successful in this business?

You must love people and have a great motivation to help others. Add in a sense of responsibility and a willingness to work hard and you’re most of the way there.

What separates you from your competition?

We are told we are different in that we explain insurance well and we really go out of our way to serve our customers properly. Our sense of humour in the office sets us apart too.

According to your online reviews, your clients couldn’t be happier with their experiences. What does that mean to you?

We love getting positive feedback from our customers – this just fuels us to keep giving great customer service.

Andy with his Dad, Bryan Burnside.

ANDY BURNSIDE

of Burnside Insurance and Financial Services Ltd.

You offer a wide variety of insurance packages such as auto insurance, business insurance, and life insurance to name a few. Tell us a bit more about this?

Yes, we do personal lines home and auto insurance as well as commercial lines where we insure small businesses, restaurants, contractors etc. We also offer Life Insurance, Health Benefits, Mutual Funds and even Vehicle Loans!

What is one piece of advice you’d give to someone who is looking into getting insurance?

So many of us have made Insurance a commodity – something for which price is the only factor – but it shouldn’t be. Insurance is still an industry where it pays to have great advice and people you trust on your side.

What does the future hold for you?

I’m going to keep growing my business and hiring team members with help from the great referrals we get every day.

If given the opportunity to relay a message to the world, what would you say?

Make the world a better place one person at a time by helping others; it is one of the greatest and yet simplest opportunities we have in life.

I’ve been teaching and making this salad for years because it is the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal or gathering. This salad is incredibly delicious and super versatile. It goes with almost any meal. It is a great salad to bring to a pot luck lunch or dinner, you will be the party favourite for sure! It also keeps very well for 3 days, dressed! Right now is the perfect time to make it. The tomatoes are in full bloom, shape and colour. Use all different colour peppers and of course fresh corn.

Children’s

FESTIVAL

By Leslie Styles

With summer winding down, the Children’s Festival at Spencer Smith Park attracted families looking for a bit of entertainment for their kids before the start of school… and they weren’t disappointed.

The main stage showcased several acts including a stunt ventriloquist show, mimes, magicians and jugglers. One of the big attractions was the meet and greet with Peppa, the loveable (and slightly bossy) little pig. There were also bouncers and slides, temporary tattoos, face painters, Chics on Sticks stilt walkers and much more.

In addition to the main stage, Creative Edge Dance Studio put on quite a show as well as Burlington Trampoline and Tumbling. Food trucks could also be found dishing out delicacies to the delight of the crowds.

Overall, the little people had a fantastic day.

CANADIAN National Championships

By Leslie Styles / Photography by Evan Bingley

Amid much pageantry, Burlington Lawn Bowling Association hosted the Canadian National Championships at the beautiful New Street Club. The five day tournament began with a short parade led by a piper and colour guard, followed by the various provincial teams. During the opening ceremony, a warm welcome was extended to all out-of-town visitors by MP Karina Gould as well as Tiffany, a rep of MPP Jane McKenna.

President Doug Busey and V.P. Tony Farrell of the Burlington club spoke, recognizing the contribution of the volunteers. Everyone joined in to sing “O Canada”.

Mens and ladies teams from seven provinces participated in the bowls, stopping for lunch and breaks between games. The very hospitable Burlington hosts supplied several meals to all present, including a bbq

Butter Tart

FESTIVAL

By Leslie Styles

Burlington satisfied its sweet tooth in August at the first annual Butter Tart Festival held at the Art Gallery of Burlington.

Butter tart lovers came from miles around and were treated to every kind of butter tart imaginable, including peanut butter chocolate tarts, maple bacon butter tarts, and the classic pecan tarts to name a few.

Vendors only added to the excitement, offering baked bread, jewellery, purses and even cannabis oil. The festival was a sweet success.
