Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Bronte Villager.As we head into summerI'd like to recap recent happeningsat the Town.Our Budget processonce again delivered an increaseunder CPI. This was achievedthrough PB2 and diligent work bystaff. We are on track to delivermore good news / good value

budgets for the rest of this term. I am proud to be part of a Coun-cil that continues to deliver value for money and treats yourmoney as if it was their own.QEP opened and is receiving greatreviews. If you haven't been yet, I suggest you go take a look. Iknow that you will be impressed with all it has to offer. Not onlyis it the first Community Centre south of the QEW, it is in myopinion the best. Work continues on the Bronte Heritage Park.It is taking shape and is a welcome addition to our waterfront.Life at the harbour is in full swing as boats are in the water. Astroll through the Harbour area is definitely worth the time.Withthe Shores nearing completion, construction restrictions will beover allowing for the full enjoyment of the waterfront.

Some upcoming events are: Ice-cream with Alan & Ralph on

Saturday June 16th. Sure to be busy with lots to see and again,listen to the music of Fiddlestix.Canada Day in Bronte: Sure tobe a great day with fireworks to end a fun packed day. Comecelebrate Canada with us.

For all the summer events in Bronte, check out this issue orvisit the BIA’s website: www.brontevillage.net

We have had several discussions with the Provincial Government on the Great Lakes Protection Act. Our input waswell received on how all orders of govt. must work together toensure the viability of the Great Lakes for future generations.

The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative is alsostepping with ideas to support the long term success of ourlakes.

A settlement has been reached with the owners of theBronte Mall. Hopefully we can now move forward and welcome the redevelopment that will spur the Bronte core revi-talization.The Town is also leading working groups on Heritageassets in Bronte and on an Economic Work Plan. The meet-ings have been well attended and the resident’s feedback isvery much valued.Together, these plans will add to the long term developmentand viability of the Bronte commercial district.

And construction is finally underway at the Blue Water Con-dominiums on Lakeshore.

Bronte Athletic Field is receiving great use with many sportsgroups using the field. The artificial turf has really extended thetime of use and it’s great to see the youngsters playing T Balland baseball on the diamond.

All these activities point to the arrival of summer.Council hasimplemented a Radio communications protocol. However, Radiocommunications remain a Federal responsibility. Any concernsor questions should be directed to your M.P.For more information please visit www.oakville.ca

In closing I wish everyone a happy and safe summer. Enjoyall the benefits of living in Bronte and I hope to see you out andabout.

As always, please feel free to contact me([email protected] ) with your questions or ideas.

by Mary EastonOn Saturday, June 9th, Halton grand-mothers from five different local“Grandmothers to Grandmothers“groups will put aside their gardening,baking and Skyping grandkids to hosttheir section of the 3d National “Strideto Turn the Tide” Walk. This Walk isorganized by Canadian grandmothersto raise funds for their sub-SaharanAfrican sisters, the courageousgrandmothers who take on the full-time parenting of numerous grandchil-dren orphaned by the AIDS pandemic.Funds raised go to the Stephen LewisFoundation which works to ease thepain of HIV/AIDS in Africa by helpinggrassroots organizations so that theycan become self-supporting.The Stephan Lewis Foundation fundscommunity organizations which areknown to the Foundation and have ca-pacity as well as accountability sys-tems in place. A feature of theFoundation is its respect for the recipients as the on the groundexperts who best know the needs, skills and local ways of doingthings. Many African grandmothers have had responsible rolesin their grassroots organizations. SLF works with these organi-zations through a team of experienced, Africa - based Field Rep-resentatives. Thus there are no offices in Africa and this keepsadministrative costs to 10%. Contact between Canada andAfrica is maintained through the donation of unused Air Miles bygenerous Canadians.Many people today shy away from helping Africa so you maywonder how thousands of Canadian women would ever find rea-son to bond with African women and see them as heroes. Thestory of how this happened is both amazing and heart warming.The catalyst for their bonding was a Canadian, Stephen Lewis.

Time magazine got it right when itnamed him as one of the world's100 most influential persons. He isa man of many lives: politician,professor, Canada's UN ambassa-dor, the UN AIDS Special Envoyfor Africa, author and eloquentspeaker.As UN AIDS envoy his love forAfrica endeared him to its people.He saw their struggles: a child un-able to find another aspirin for a

mom dying of AIDS, the dying momsanguishing about who would lookafter the children, the grandmothersburying one daughter or son afteranother. Then he saw these samegrandmothers take up the task ofcaring for the many orphaned grand-kids. In losing their working age sonsand daughters the grandmothersalso lost the main source of theirfamily’s financial support. They werenow more impoverished than ever,

often lacking the fees to send even one grandchild to school. InCanada we have never had to experience the loss of a genera-tion. Blessed by history and geography and ownership of ourown resources, we possess the wealth to stave off such perilsto our future. This is not the case in Africa. Someone had to get Africa’s AIDS story out. With his book “RaceAgainst Time” in hand, he set out on a speaking tour across thecountry. According to Randy Boswell, Stephen Lewis is consid-ered to be Canada’s most impressive orator. He is sought outfor repeat engagements by those who have heard him speak inthe past. In community halls and universities he never fails toconvey his admiration for Africa’s children and the resilience oftheir grandmothers. But it was in the churches, of every denom-ination, that he found a uniquely attentive group, women going

through the experience of be-coming grandmothers them-selves. These women were grand-mothers with a difference. Intheir twenties, they had beenshaped by the huge waves ofsocial consciousness thatswept over many people in the60’s. Tell such women thatthere are impoverished grand-mothers who now parent theirgrandchildren 24/7 and it hasthe effect of a starter's pistol.It's been said that whereverStephen Lewis spoke, anotherGrandmothers group sprangup. In Canada there are 250groups now. Since the start ofthe Grandmothers to Grand-mothers Campaign in 2006

they have contributed 13.5million to the Stephen LewisFoundation. This funding nowreaches grassroots projects in15 African countries and includes activities such asHIV/AIDS education, caregivertraining, parenting courses, income generation, vocationaltraining for teens, and schoolfees, books and uniforms forthe children.African Grandmothers are becoming activists. They arestarting to lobby their own governments. The CanadianGrandmothers’ connectionhas helped with the necessarymedia attention. In Swaziland,a few months after a secondGrandmothers’ Walk in thatcountry, the government introduced free health care forthe grandmothers in all thehospitals. In addition, morethan 6,000 grandmothersthere have obtained bank accounts and are receivingstipends on a monthly basis.At International AIDS Conferences, Grandmothershave attained official standing.Carole Holmes of Oakville’sGrandmothers group,Oomama, gave an address tothe UN. If Olivia Ward’s prediction of an African Springin 10 years comes true, it willbe today’s African grandchildren who will fight,once again, for greater free-dom. Support from Canada intheir formative years is vital. The Halton grandmothershosting the Walk include fivegroups: Oomama, the UbuntuGrandwomen, Blooms forAfrica, North Halton Grandmothers, and theBronte Grandmothers. Thesegroups extend a warm wel-come to everyone in the Halton community to join themin their Walk. Everyone whosupports the grandmothers iscalled a “GRAND OTHER”.We would love to have lots of“GRAND OTHERS” show upthe day of the Walk. Husbands, children, students,friends and strangers too, canregister the morning of thewalk at St. Thomas Aquinas

Secondary School atLakeshore and Dorval at 8:30,June 9th. Only adults over 18are asked for the $25 registra-tion fee. With that comes anAfrican scarf especially madefor the walk by a sewing busi-ness In Africa. Walkers have a choice of twodistances, 2.5 kms. and 5kms. There will be ample op-portunity for stops at Kensing-ton and at Churchill Place, twolovely Revera seniors’ resi-dences along the way.

by Dr. Karen SmithDid you know that the sun’s UV rays can

not only damage your skin, but your eyes aswell?

Over time, UV rays can lead to eye dis-eases and vision loss. They can damage

both the eye’s surface and the interior of your eyes. They con-tribute to the development of cataracts and the progression ofage-related macular degeneration, as well as skin cancers. Ifyou don’t protect your eyes from UV light, the damage can leadto blindness. Children’s eyes are very susceptible to sun dam-age and as they tend to be outside more often, they also needa pair of quality sunglasses with high UVA and UVB protection.

The best way to protect your eyes from UV is to get a goodpair of sunglasses. Lenses are as important as the frames youchoose and should be free of distortion. Most manufacturerslabel their products, stating their protective ability. Don’t be deceived by the colour or cost of sunglasses. The darkest lensesdo not necessarily give the best protection. Only an invisible UVprotective coat, applied during the manufacturing stage or builtinto the lens can accomplish this. If you spend a lot of time inthe sun, buy wrap-around glasses to prevent the sun from en-tering your eyes from the sides.

Since clouds aren’t effective UV filters, wear your sunglasseson cloudy days too, particularly if you have light eyes, which aremore susceptible. Sunglasses aren’t just for fashion; they’re yourfirst line of defence in keeping your eyes safe from the sun. Wearthem winter, spring, summer and fall! Make it a habit- sunscreen

for your skin; proper sunglasses for your eyes!

Come by and see our full line of Maui Jim, Fendi, Gucci, Ver-sace and Armani Sunglasses. Ask Dr. Karen Smith and our newAssociate, Dr Melissa Oliver what is right for you!

The empowerment youwill possess will give you thestrength to move past the roadblocks and straight to your desired destination with easeand grace. You will be able toforgive and trust while maintaining your boundaries..It is important to act compassionately while holdingon to your own power.

By cutting a hole in your resistance with your willpower,you can melt the icy barrierand achieve a breakthroughfor yourself that will lead you toa place of deeply imbeddedinner strength.

If you are experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety,frustration ,sadness, hopeless-ness, anger, grief or are just sostressed that you need abreak and a change in howyou have been seeing things,this is a great treatment foryou to consider. This is a greatone-on-one therapy but canalso be done in couples andalso in groups. Why not em-power yourself , your lovedones and your partners.

A negative mind-set canmake life far too difficult and unpleasant and your energyvery heavy. It can also affectyour physical body. Holding onto negative thoughts and emotions makes your bodyacidic and therefore allowsdisease to manifest physicallyas well as mentally.

Spiritual Psychologyseeks to understand the threelayers of the human being –mind, body and spirit . It istherefore appropriate that weuse an intuitive component tothis healing therapy. It is a conversation between thehigher self of the therapist tothe higher self of the client andtaking the mind , body andspirit from a negative to a positive state .

Move away from failureand distress so that you maydrive toward success and hap-piness . Positive thinking dra-matically increases yourchances of success in any en-deavor. When you are certain

that you are worthy and thatachievement is in your grasp ,you start to relax and look forsolutions rather then dwellingon the problems.

It is always your choice asto how much you want to healand how quickly you would liketo move forward . The year2012 is made for change -is ittime for one in your life?

IT IS WITHIN YOURPOWER TO BE HEALTHYAND HAPPY - YOU DESERVE IT!!!

By Matthew TianAt Meridian Massage & Acupuncture Cen-

tre at the Bronte Village Mall in Oakville, wesee a large amount of acute low back pain,which can be “fixed” with one or more treat-ment sessions of Traditional Chinese Mas-sage and Acupuncture.

According to the National Institutes of Health, back pain isthe second most common neurological disorder in the UnitedStates – second only to headaches which are more common.

Most acute back pain is mechanical in nature. Acute or short-term low back pain can generally last from a few bad days to a

few weeks, but can sometimes even last months. Pain can usu-ally be caused by a sports injury, work around the house, in thegarden, or even something as simple as a sneeze or puttingsocks on. Symptoms may range from muscle aches to a shoot-ing or stabbing pain, limited flexibility, range of motion issues,or the inability to stand up straight.

Here is a typical story: In early May 2012, Steven, a newpatient, felt a sudden severe pain early in the morning afterbending over to put on his socks. He called an ambulance. Thedoctors gave him an emergency CT scan, and told him therewere no significant medical findings. Steven got a morphine shotand was sent home and told to go to see his family physician ifthere were any new changes. Steven stayed in bed for 3 days.His wife took care of dressing and feeding him. On the 4th daywhen Steven arrived at my clinic, he refused to sit down for theinitial interview—standing up from chair would “kill him”.

One hour later when Steven walked up right out of the treatment room, his wife smiled as she saw a different Steven.Steven said that 75% of his pain gone, he was very much impressed.

Steven did not need to come back for a second visit. Hecalled to cancel his follow up appointment and said that he wasfeeling so wonderful and that he just wanted to enjoy the sun atthe lakeshore waters.

Just earlier this month, a similar story happened. A gentle-man reported an immediate 50% relief of pain when he got offour treatment table. He is coming back to see me this afternoonfor his second treatment, I wonder if he will need to come backfor a third visit.

I started to investigate the mechanisms of this kind of lowback pain in the early 1990s, when I practiced as a neurologistin China. I “fixed” over 100 similar cases, in most cases with justa few treatment sessions.

In Traditional Chinese medicine, we have a special name for

this condition: “Shan Yao 腰” or “岔⽓ Cha Qi”. The blockageof Qi causes severe pain. Traditional Chinese medical doctorsalso call it irritated facet joint syndrome.

In western medicine, this condition is not well understood. Itis usually called mechanical lower back pain. Doctors usuallyprescribe pain killers and muscle relaxants for this condition. Patients sometimes may also go physiotherapy for extended pe-riod of time.

Other conditions that may cause acute low back pain can include fracture of lumbar vertebrae, injury to the muscles andligaments. Therefore adequate assessment is important.

In summary, most acute low back pain is mechanical in nature, which means medical doctors cannot always identifyspecific clinical findings. For such acute lower back pain, Traditional Chinese massage and acupuncture can correct theproblem within one to a few treatment sessions.

Matthew Tian is a registered massage therapist, certified practitioner of

traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. He is the clinical director of

Meridian Massage & Acupuncture Centre located in Bronte Village Mall.

Matthew was a neurologist before he immigrated to Canada. He was trained

in both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. He also earned a

Master’s degree in physiology.

by Mark FleiszerMany recent research studies indicatethat the current standard in North Amer-ica for protecting public health from radi-ation is inadequate and that the radiationemanating from the antennas mountedon roofs of buildings, cell towers etc., al-though they comply with the official stan-dard, carry the risk of cancer and otherillnesses especially in young people andchildren. Apparently there are over 400such antennas in Oakville and more that300 are planned to be installed withinone year. The standard referred to aboveis “Safety Code 6”.

Bell Canada is installing a commercialstrength antenna on the Cell Tower at FireStation No.1 (Bronte Rd. at Rebecca). A fast growing group ofthe affected area residents (MyBronte group) is against takingthe risk of endangering their and their childrens’ health and tookits objections to the Corporation of the Town of Oakville whichowns the land where the Tower is located. The residents do notdispute the use of the tower for emergency purposes (since1996) by the Halton Regional Police and the Fire ProtectionServices, however they do object to the high strength commer-cial antennas and the sole authority by Industry Canada for thesiting (deciding the location) of the antennas.

On 19 March 2012 the Town Council called a public meeting todiscuss its’ staff proposal to reduce the setback from schools,

kindergartens and other sensitive areas from 200meters to 20 meters. No proper justification seemsto have been provided. MyBronte Group, andsome others, presented their objections to thisproposal to the Town Council. After a three hours’discussion with no agreement, the meeting waspostponed to a later date.

On 14 May 2012 the Town called another meeting.This time in addition to the general public it wasattended by the federal Departments of both In-dustry (I.C.) and Health (H.C.). They were able toprovide answers to many questions from theCouncillors. However their answers were couchedin scientific terms and often were inaudible tothose sitting in the audience thus few people couldclaim that they really understood what was beingsaid In short, the I.C. position was that they

would:

a) not support any setbacks,

b) the Town’s protocol could not override that of I.C.,

c) that the Safety Code 6 (currently being revised for publicationin 2013) was perfectly adequate,

d)the research findings about the risk of cancer and other illnesses were not generally scientifically acceptable (?) and

e)that the Town Council could not do anything against I.C. sitingdecisions.

As the time set aside for the meeting had run out, the hearingswhich were attended by a very large number of people (many

had to stand) had to be extended to 15th and 17th May in orderto allow the many delegations to present their views.

Over 20 presentations were heard by Council and by the obvi-ously very concerned audience on 15th and 17th May.. The pre-sentations included representatives from MyBronte group;Citizens for Clean Air (C4CA); a psychologist on behalf of Citi-zens for Clarkson – Lorne Park; an environmental lawyer andothers. Following each presentation the Councillors questionedthe presenters and a very clear picture has emerged: The people are :

a) Against the reduction of the setback to 20 meters;

b) Against the use of the high strength commercial antennas although they meet the present requirements of Safety Code 6;

c) Critical of the H.C.’s unwillingness to consider the findings ofinternational research even though some of the countries in Europe and elsewhere have adopted the “Precautionary Principle” i.e. when there are signs of possible adverse effects(in this case) to health, although uncertain, the risk of inactioncan be greater than the risk of acting.;

d) Critical of the lack of Canadian research on the subject of therisk of radiation from the cell towers etc.,

e) Against Bell Canada’s unbending attitude concerning installation of antennas close to residential areas etc. and arealso quite incensed by I.C.’s sole authority on the siting of allcell towers.

Following the presentations at the 17th May meeting the Councilvoted to unanimously to retain the 200 meters setback eventhough it is cognizant of the fact that it can be overruled by I.C.

An interesting observation was made by one of the Councillorswho stated that although he was originally for the reduction to20 meters, having heard the presentations and especially the

personal stories of hardship due to the radia-tion, he changed his opinion and voted for re-tention if the setback to 200 meters. In addition,the Council approved to replace all referencesto “Municipal Letters of Concurrence…” whichI.C. requires with “Municipal Letters of Com-ment” so as not to be seen as always agreeingwith I.C.’s siting decisions.

Furthermore the Council will require the anten-nas installers to obtain a supporting letter fromthe Oakville Member of Parliament TerenceYoung before proceeding with any installations.

The Council recognized the difficulty of doing anything to influence an upgrade in SafetyCode 6, however it is prepared to strive hardthrough the Federation of Canadian Municipal-ities toward obtaining for the municipalities amore serious role in governing their towns andcities than that available at present.

In closing it should be noted that Councillors Robinson, Johnson, Damoff, Duddeck, andKhan have been very supportive of MyBrontegroup’s appeal from the beginning of the issue.Our Member of Parliament Terence Young hasbeen and is very active in Ottawa on My-Bronte’s group’s behalf including discussionsin caucus, a private member’s bill to be pre-sented in the Parliament and also will be hold-ing a seminar on the subject for the GTA’s Members of Parliament shortly.

Do you have what ittakes to be a NutritionalHealth Coach?

Nazareth (aka Naz or Nazzie) was found on November 1st, 2011 abandoned, left to die,on the balcony of an apartment. It's not clear how long he was out on the balcony withoutfood or water. Neighbours reportedly made several complaints about him barking. Buteventually he stopped barking and just lay there to die. And when a neighbour saw whatappeared to be a dead dog being eaten by birds, the authorities were called. That emaciated, bird-pecked carcass was Nazareth, and they discovered he was alive ...... dehydrated, starved, given up all hope … but alive. He was taken to the OSPCA whereit was discovered that he was paralyzed in the hind end. He was then transferred to alocal veterinary clinic for xrays & emergency treatment; and subsequently for a neurological assessment which concluded that the most likely cause of his paralysis wasa herniated disc. How he came to be paralyzed, we do not know. How long had he beenparalyzed ... we also do not know. He is estimated to be 12yrs of age. Caring for Nazzie is a full time 24/7 job. And it’s not easy. He’s a big dog & carrying himfrom room to room , or out to the garden, getting him into & out of the bath tub, liftinghim into his wheelchair, lifting him into the car, are all daunting tasks. But Nazzie is worthit. He has a spirit that touches everyone who meets him, and indeed it was that spiritthat captured the hearts of the OSPCA staff who championed for his right to live. Since arriving in rescue Nazzie has gained 17 pounds, his wounds have healed, and hiscoat is shiny & healthy. He has been attending physical therapy at the Canine WellnessCentre (www.caninewellness.com) in the hopes that he might one day walk again. In themeantime, Nazzie has been supplied with a custom Eddie’s Wheels wheelchair.The ongoing cost of caring for rescue dogs can really add up. Think about what it costsyou to feed, spay/neuter, vaccinate, deworm, heartworm test, groom, train, buy toys for,etc. for one dog. Now multiply that by two, or four, or six ….. & you’ll have an idea ofwhat it costs rescue groups to care for the dogs they have awaiting adoption. Adoption

fees alone do not reimburse rescues for the money they outlay.Now add in the costs of a special needs dog like Nazzie.Yowza!!! I think we need to win the lottery! But in the meantime,fundraising is the way to go & I’ll Stand By You All Breed Pet Res-cue is holding a GREAT fundraiser at Comedy Club 54, in Burling-ton, on June 9th.

by Bronte Natural Health ClinicThe question is no longer whether you are toxic, but rather

“how” toxic are you? There’s no escaping the countless num-ber of environmental toxins we touch, ingest and inhale on adaily basis, indoors and out. In addition, it’s not something youalways feel. Common symptoms in people with significant toxi-city can include fatigue, headaches, constipation, joint pain,low immunity, irritable bowels, PMS and poor mental functions.In addition, specialty labs in North America are reporting thateven infants and people with organic lifestyles are not passingtoxicity testing.

If there’s no escaping the exposure to toxins, what can we doabout it? The first reaction should be to implement as many di-etary and lifestyle changes as possible. The next step should beto get some sense of which kind of a cleanse would be most ap-propriate for you. There are five organs of elimination, includingliver, kidneys, skin, lungs and colon. Do you need a parasitecleanse? A liver cleanse? Heavy metals removal? And how safeis this if you are weak, elderly, medicated or pregnant?

One of the simplest, safest, and affordable ways to allow yourbody to detox on it’s own is to make a dietary change. Not onlyare you reducing exposure to more toxins with organic foods andclean eating, you can custom select foods and spices to specif-ically support your organs to release toxins from the past. Forexample, eating greens, sprouted or fermented foods, and juic-ing raw fruits and vegetables are the common staples of a detoxdiet. Many people also benefit from gluten free or blood type rec-ommendations. But one size does not fit all. Seeing a nutritionist

can help you choose which dietary changes are most specificand therefore most beneficial for you and your health condition.This information can then be organized into proper meal planning and practical advice from matching recipes, shoppinglists and even hands-on cooking classes. These lifestylechanges can benefit your health as quickly as the first day ofeating better, and for years to come.

There are many affordable tests that can be done to focus yourdetox efforts further. For example, a simple drop of blood canbe viewed immediately under a microscope to view variousforms of toxicity, digestive issues and immune performance. Thismethod shows toxins in the plasma, including acidity, heavy

Are You Toxic?

How often do we tend to throwthings out nowadays. Yes it seemsthat we do live in a disposable so-ciety and as much as we all hatethe trend, it never fails a lot ofthings we buy today fall apart in notime at all.Unfortunately, this applies to furniture as well, but the majorityof consumers are getting wise to this fact and any pieces theyhave that are over ten years old, and still sound, are getting re-furbished as opposed to being thrown out. This applies to up-holstered furniture and dining room or bedroom pieces. Weseem to be getting busier and busier from year to year, and Ifeel that the main reason is because people now realize thatthe quality and comfort of older pieces, cannot be replaced any-more. Gone are the days of being able to buy good quality

sofas, chairs and suites thatwill withstand the time anddaily use as they manufac-tured, ten twenty, thirty yearsago or older. So naturally,these are getting redone and anew lease on life until the timecomes when they just getdone over again, since thesepieces are forever.If you have never seen ourwork, please pop over toBronte Village Mall in eastOakville and see our displaythere.

metals, and damaged red bloods from free radical exposure. Youcan also see your immune performance in live action, includingmany actual parasites such as Candida yeast and bacteria. Incomplete or weak digestion is also visible under the micro-scope. This can give you an idea of which organs are not performing their best, and what to do about it. Some sampleswe have seen were shockingly toxic and parasitic, despite the patient having little or no symptoms. This method can be usefulfor initial screening, to monitor progress on pre-existing treatment plans, and for cancer-after care.

Darlene Gustin, has practised naturopathic medicine at BronteNatural Health Clinic for 21 years, and has seen dramatic shiftsin the health of our local community. She tests every patient forheavy metals because she finds that half of her local patientsare toxic in multiple heavy metals. She also finds that most patients are not self-supplementing in the most effective way and

would benefit from some form of guidance by an alternativehealth professional.

Bronte Natural Health Clinic is excited to announce the arrivalof two new staff, to better assist our community in assessing andtreating their health in the most effective way. Shannon Gregoryis offering the testing service of Live Blood Cell analysis on adark field microscope, including the option of a take home photoof your blood. Natalya Frolova is the new registered nutritionist,offering one-on-one nutritional consultations, meal planning,cooking classes, and lifestyle programs. Under the care of naturopathic doctor, Darlene Gustin, all services at the clinic maybe eligible for extended insurance coverage.

Everyone knows that sunscreenlotions prevent sunburns. Whatmost peopledon't know is how to choose theright one for their skin. More i mportantly, experts today arequestioning the chemicals that werub into the skin and that of ourchildren.Why not take the guesswork out ofthe equation and choose sunscreen clothing that you canwear? The FDA in the UnitedStates has imposed new regulations for all chemical sunscreen lotion manufacturers forremoval of all marketing claims (ie.sweatproof, waterproof, all dayprotection and skin cancer prevention claims) that have yet to be proved.Over the last several years, the efficacy of lotions has beencalled into questionby numerous health agencies and dermatologists; some goingas far as to say that lotions may not prevent skin cancer, butmay actually increase the risk.Wearing specially designed, sunscreen clothing to protect yourself makes much better sense. It will take the guessworkout of the UV equation because the UVA and UVB blocking inhibitors are added right into the fabric yarn ingredients atsource of manufacture. A unique, sun-smart line of sun-protection clothing for the wholefamily is available on-line and delivered right to your door.

Caesar salad for those who want healthier options.

Sammy, a Bronte resident for over 23 years, has built himselfa reputation in town for serving only the best and freshest “Old-fashioned, hand cut fries”. As his motto goes: “We Clean ‘em,

Cut ‘em, Cook ‘em, Skins & all!” In fact, Sammy does all thisright before your eyes (so you know those fries are fresh)!

“We use PEI potatoes and buy them from a local supplier”says Sammy, proudly. “We go through 500 - 1,000 lbs a week!”he adds.

“It’s important to me that I serve good food at affordableprices” says Sammy. “Here, the whole family can eat good foodfor less than $20!

Sammy is always busy creating surprises for his customers,who he adores. “Right now, I am working on bringing back theold fashioned milkshake to Bronte. Remember “the good olddays” when you ordered a milkshake at the counter and watchedit made in a stainless steel, Hamilton Beach Milkshake maker?

Didn’t those shakes taste so muchbetter?

Another surprise is the introduc-tion of Sammy’s Special Wings,which he marinates for three daysin a secret recipe passed down, inpart, from his mother. “I am dedicat-ing this menu item to the memory oftwo great friends, Steve Lukshaand Clive Champion. I remembergreat times when the three of uswould spend countless hours onthe roof at Pier 12 on Bronte Roadwith 3 barbeques cooking thewings!”

Sammy’s Famous just signedan agreement with Nathan’s Fa-mous Hotdogs – an appropriatepartnership in many ways: both arefamous, both use only the freshestingredients and both use recipespassed down from family. Speakingof family, it’s not surprising thatSammy has such a passion forcooking: He comes from a wholeline of chefs, including his grandfa-ther, who was a chief chef for theFrench army! Sammy has aLebanese and French background.“Plus I am a Canadian Citizen”, headds – as the inspiration behind hisamazingly delicious sauces andspices.

Sammy invites everyone to stopby the chip wagon or the newSammy’s Famous on Jones Streetoften this summer and treat yourselfto some great food and friendlyservice! “We love you all and wehope to see everyone soon” saysSammy, who reminds everyone toshop locally “It’s the heart and soulof a great community”.

Who’s The Best In Customer Satisfaction?

Call Regarding Our Money Saving Programs

* Results tabulated by an independent third party

Coldwell Banker® pioneered Ultimate Service® in Canada 15 years ago, providing a signed written pledge to deliver quality service based on individual consumer’s specific needs. So it’s probably no coincidence that for a remarkable 15th year in a row, Coldwell Banker® Real Estate recieved a 98%* overall customer satisfaction rating in a survey of more than 60,000 Canadian home buyers and sellers.* It’s a claim no other real estate brand in Canada can match!

If you want to know about quality of service that Coldwell Banker agents deliver, don’t take our word for it - ask our customers. They’ve given us what you might call the “ultimate” compliment.

Each Coldwell Banker office is independently owned and operated.
