Bringing joy to others with the Power of H.O.P.E.

by Mike Robinson

ARTHUR - Readers might think this is a fluff piece - and it is - about fluffy critters and two women giving their hearts to the community through the power of hope.

For Penny Jamieson and Janice Wilson it is a bit like Christmas all year round as they work to bring a bit of joy into other lives.

Sitting at the kitchen table with Jamieson and Wilson recently, their excitement and enthusiasm was readily apparent.

From the tone of their voices to the sparkle in their eyes as they talked about their hobby/mission/obsession, they full well know the Power of H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Everyday).

Christmas is a time for giving and helping other people in need, but Jamieson and Wilson make it a year-round endeavor.

One such campaign includes a stuffed toy drive to put a smile on young children’s faces at Christmas “We invite residents to help collect clean, good conditioned, stuffed toys to be given to our local charities for Christmas,” Jamieson said “Christmas is a time for giving and to help others in need. Our local charities need help to make a child’s Christmas more memorable.”

This year’s goal is to collect 2000 stuffed animals by November.

They have also created memory books full of letters, cards, and photographs that outline the progression of their projects.

“When I talk about this, we both have a very deep passion for what we do,” Jamieson said. “It started with Hurricane Katrina. As we worked at that, it took us six weeks to complete from start to finish.”

That resulted in a cargo container of materials being shipped to the people recovering in the storm’s aftermath.

“It was very rewarding, being able to help total strangers,” Jamieson said.

Wilson added, “Penny Jamieson and I first got to know each other while collecting necessities for the people of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In the end, we sent half of a 53 foot trailer to New Orleans. Everything was sorted, labeled and boxed.”

Then, years had passed, and she was at a mall and saw one of the Christmas trees with names on it. She and Wilson had similar experiences, using that venue to purchases toys for a child. Then Jamieson

Counselling in Kitchener, was from a woman with four children who had just left an abusive spouse and was struggling to get back on her feet.

“Just knowing that I am receiving this much needed this Christmas help allows me to focus on my family and take comfort in the knowledge that this world is filled with many wonderful people willing to help out a complete stranger.

Please know that I am extremely touched for your help and will be forever grateful.”

Jamieson said for the most part, she and Wilson pay for most of the toys and supplies.

This is a personal mission, and not a registered charity, so they can ask the public only for donations.

However, Jamieson cited numerous examples of generosity from local businesses and individuals. Those have included donations of items or substantial discounts, which, in turn, allow them to help more people. In one instance, Jamieson was in Guelph and given a large bag of ribbon that wasn’t selling because it was too small. With what they do refurbishing the toys, “We need a lot,” she said, laughing.

That same date, she stopped into a Fergus business, and, after explaining what they were trying to accomplish, she was invited to get what she needed.

“I came back with an armful of pajamas and he gave me a very generous deal. I wish there was more people like that. That started us off really nicely for this year’s efforts.”

Jamieson said pajamas are not just for moms, but teenage kids, and even men’s for lowincome families.

A lot of the donations will be heading to the women’s shelters she added.

This year, they plan to expand their efforts.

“We’re looking for new ... or very gently used items ... but the preference is for new. The toys can be gently used.”

Through her other connections she is helping to raise funds for housing for the homeless - which leads to another idea she is working on, creating gift baskets for those involved in the supportive housing units. “We’re trying to get donations of toiletries, new towels and face cloths.”

Other needed items include socks, slippers, diapers, and baby blankets. The one thing they cannot offer is tax receipts, because “We’re not registered. It’s just the two of us that do this.”

Another project, they are working on is the collection of milk bags, with the help of Arthur Public School. Even there, it is the outer bag only.

They are taken to an individual in Guelph who cuts them into strips, and those are c r o -

cheted into mats, which are then sent to Haiti or Africa.

“I know for a fact they are being used, because a lady at Liquidation World informed her a customer who had just returned from Haiti had seen where the mats were used in the hospitals, and in tents as beds,” Jamieson said. “We’re reusing, recycling, and not putting it into the landfills. I have Arthur Public School collecting right now.”

She hopes to get other schools involved. “I’m hoping that the community will help us ... somehow.”

Wilson added the church really helps a lot.

Bea Little, in Arthur, has offered to help sew pajamas, and Wilson added quite a few people have just brought in donations. She has come home on occasion to find big bags of toys sitting at her front door.

Jamieson said before making donations to some agencies, she had to prove the items were of good quality. “I went into a meeting an took 20 toys.

Nineteen were gently used and one was brand new. As I was doing my presentation, they could not tell which was new and which was used.”

She added, “I’m all for helping other countries, but there’s a lot of people in our own backyards who need a lot of help. There’s a lot of people here who need a little extra help and we’re willing to do the work.”

Jamieson added “I was a single mom at one time and I had a difficult time. This just works, and I’m able to do it now. I couldn’t before, but I can now.”

She believes the more awareness there is of the campaign, the more they can accomplish.

Wilson said she and Penny know all about tough times.

“At one point in her life, Penny found herself a single mom with three small children.”

“And when I was growing up, we had a lot of winters where Dad had no work. Also in 2001-02, I found myself out of work, and for five months I had no income. The mission is very uplifting for us as well as being a real eye-opener. In doing this we have discovered just how desperate the situation is for some families, many right in our own backyard.

Many of the women who go to women’s shelters have nothing but their children in their arms and the clothes on their backs.”

The pair also want to reach out more, to Clifford and Harriston, Erin, Palmerston, and Elmira.

Get the right bike for you at PARAMOUNT BIKES Guelph and Wellington County is home to a large number of cyclists who are fortunate to have access to some beautiful cycling trails throughout the county, as well as convenient cycling lanes in and around the city of Guelph. They also have the benefit of having easy access to one of the best specialty cycling stores for miles around.

The store is Paramount for Bikes, and they are now into their 18th year of operation in Guelph.

Gord Wilson is the owner of Paramount for Bikes. A cyclist himself, Gord has many years of experience under his belt, as well as some impressive credentials. One in particular is a diploma on ‘Bodygeometry' bicycle fitting.

This patented process has been developed by ‘Specialized’ - one of the most recognized bicycle brands in the world. Gord spent some time in California, being trained and educated on this revolutionary system.

This knowledge is now an integral part of the service at Paramount for Bikes, and provides customers with a huge advantage when choosing a bicycle.

The Bodygeometry Fit System measures and assesses the physiology of the rider. The angle of the knee, the reach of the arms - the way the body is shaped while sitting on a bike. The ‘Bodygeometry’ methods provide accurate information so that your

chosen cycle will be custom fitted to your unique requirements. Your bicycle will be ergonomically perfect for you. It is a fantastic selling feature, and just part of the great service that customers can expect from Gord and his experienced team.

Paramount for Bikes carry two specific brands of bicycle - ‘Specialized’, as we have mentioned, and ‘Giant’. These two companies only make bikes and cycling equipment, so you can rest assured that the quality is second to none. ‘Giant’ is the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world. Indeed, a full two thirds of the bikes that they build are made at the request of other ‘bicycle’ companies who sell them under different brand names.

Specialized, who has some of their bikes made by Giant, design cycling shoes, innova-

tive saddles and helmets, and currently hold patents on some revolutionary product designs. These guys are serious about cycling.

The store is large, allowing for a huge

selection of affordable bicycles.

Paramount for Bikes also sells a wide range of clothing for the cyclist - everything from shorts to shoes. One of the latest items of clothing for the ladies is a cycling ’skort’ perfect for those riders who maybe prefer a more modest image while enjoying a bike ride. A cycling helmet is crucial for any rider, and the store also sells a wide range of this essential piece of equipment.

Enjoyment is really what Paramount for Bikes is all about. Their focus is on the recreational rider, and they cater to riders of all ages. Cycling is becoming increasingly popular as a family pastime, and the choice of kid’s bikes at Paramount is fantastic. The durability and quality of these little machines means that they could quite easily be passed from one sibling to the next. The ladies also have a wide range of styles and sizes to choose from.

These bikes are colourful, functional and sturdy, but the carbon-fibre frame bike I chose could be picked up by one hand. You can purchase a bike rack at the store, so transporting the bikes to your chosen trail is easy.

ENTERTAINMENT Review: Beattie great in Ed’s Garage

by Chris Daponte ORANGEVILLE - Ed’s Garage doesn’t just fix cars, it also fixes people.

That is one of the more memorable lines from the last production in Theatre Orangeville’s 2009-10 season, but it can also be applied to those filling the seats at the Opera House on Broadway.

Ed’s Garage is the perfect remedy for whatever ails audiences.

KARAOKE 6pm-1am with Kieran Ballah

SATURDAY, MAY 15 OPEN HOUSE: 1-4pm Finger food & entertainment with “Michael Kelley” 3-6pm

Upset about the economy?

Garage owner Ed will relay how someone else is always worse off. Love life in the dumps? Ed’s charisma will prove there are no insurmountable obstacles when it comes to love.

Feeling overly negative? Not to worry; as Ed explains, being negative can be a real asset and is one of man’s best coping mechanisms. Struggling to understand what went wrong with the world? Listen to Ed. He believes whole heartedly - and you will too - everything wrong with society can be traced to the invention of the large round hay bale.

The namesake business in Ed’s Garage is a great place to get an oil change or have a boat engine fixed, but it’s also Port Petunia’s oldest unlicensed social institution, providing confidential and sage advice to anyone who needs it.

When Cassandra, an actual psychotherapist from the city, sets up a private practice next door to the garage, Ed capitalizes - at first by mistake and later by plan - on the chance to expand his skill set. And that’s when things get interesting.

Rod Beattie is fabulous as

Ed, delivering countless punch lines in the remarkably smooth and seemingly effortless manor audiences have come to expect from the theatre veteran best known for his role in the Wingfield series, also written by Ed’s Garage playwright Dan Needles.

Tim Campbell has audience members, particularly those familiar with the myriad levels of red tape associated with local government, sympathizing with Peter from the beginning. And he pulls off almost every scene with great conviction, whether he’s portraying frustration or adoration.

Jane Spence is a delight, playing well off the three male cast members with relative ease and grace. She also provides some big laughs, though it is her portrayal of a conflicted professional and Peter’s potential love interest that truly reflects her talent.

Murray Furrow provides great comedic relief as Nick, a reformed enemy of Ed’s who’s now the garage owner’s right hand man. Furrow’s timing is impeccable, and while he delivers some of the show’s funniest lines, he does so without

Fixing people problems - Rod Beattie and Tim Campbell star in Ed’s Garage, which is playing at Theatre Orangeville until May 23. submitted photo making a spectacle of himself or diminishing the performances of the other players.

The cast obviously received great direction from Douglas Beattie, who, after directing 10 Needles plays, seems to know the mind of the writer inside and out.

Needles’ script is hilarious and heartwarming, yet not over-

ly corny or mushy. There’s a lesson or two to be learned here, but the audience isn’t hit over the head with the obvious.

The set design and lighting design, by Vaughn Davis and Steve Lucas respectively, are perfect compliments to the story.

Audiences may at first feel the story is a bit slow to develop,

but nearly every line is included for a reason, whether it be character development or just to set up jokes later in the production.

This truly is a wonderful play that helps to remind us all that no matter what we do or where we are, there’s a little bit of Heaven right in front of us we just need to open our eyes and realize it.

Ed’s Garage plays six shows a week until May 23. For tickets call 519-942-3423 or 1-800424-1295 or visit www.theatreorangeville.ca.

Drayton Entertainment hires design firm CAMBRIDGE - Diamond and Schmitt Architects Inc. has been selected to design the new Cambridge Performing Arts Complex in Galt for Drayton Entertainment.

Close to two-dozen proposals were submitted from across Canada.

An advisory committee of representatives from the City of Cambridge, Drayton Entertainment, and University of Waterloo School of Architecture interviewed a shortlist of five before settling on the Toronto-based firm.

“Diamond and Schmitt has an illustrious reputation, receiving over 150 regional, national, and international awards for design,” said artistic director Alex Mustakas, of Drayton Entertainment.

It is anticipated the groundbreaking for the new Cambridge facility will be held in the fall, with a project launch by 2012.
