Standing behind a counter lined with jars of chocolate Matt Scanlan knowshersquos got a pretty sweet job

ldquoItrsquos been phenomenalrdquo said themanager of Forratrsquos Chocolates andLounge on Commissioners Road WestldquoWe knew (this venue) was going to bevery coolrdquo

The lounge opened up two years agooffering Byron residents a place to go fora glass of wine and a chocolate fondueldquoThis is basically a new concept anda twist on the chocolate storerdquo saidScanlan stirring a melted pot of thesweets to a smooth con sistency

The holidays are a busy time of yearfor the business but Scanlan said

customers have been supportivesince the beginning ldquoA lot ofpeople said itrsquos nice that Byron hassomething like this something todo at nightrdquo he said

London chocolatier Marc Forrat ownsthe corporation but Scanlan and his wifeKristen are left to their own devices whenit comes to running the lounge Forrattaught Scanlan the tricks of the trade sothat Scanlan is able to design his own richsweet creations

But chocolate can be temperamentaland working with it takes practice ldquoWhenyoursquore stirring chocolate every day youkind of get used to itrdquo

Scanlan 32 came to the business after alifetime in the hospitality industry He hadworked in restaurants as everything froma busboy to server and line cook beforeopening the lounge The opportunity to

transition to a venue where he had morecreative control seemed like a natural fit

ldquoItrsquos all hospitality related and th atrsquoswhatrsquos nice about this conceptrdquo he said ldquoIt

was something we could do for ourselvesrdquoIn the beginning that also brought a

new set of ch allenges ldquoOff the start itwas difficult Irsquod never had the challenge

of doing everythingrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos kind oflearning as you gordquo

But operating the store also meantthat Scanlan could experiment with the

products he produces Scanlan said aboutone third of the treats that line the storewalls are new creations designed sincethe venue was first opened ldquoWersquore alwaystesting the products thatrsquos the fun partrdquohe said as the smell of fresh desserts filledthe room

So how does one stay trim surroundedby a boundless supply of chocolateimported from Europe ldquoA lot of selfrestraintrdquo he laughed ldquoWhen itrsquos atyour disposal 247 you kind of lose that(desire)rdquo

Thatrsquos not to say there arenrsquot drawbacksof making chocolate fondue every dayldquoNow when I mess u p I can never get my

wife chocolate It doesnrsquot have quite thesame meaning to itrdquo

Beer and bible study donrsquot usu-ally go hand-in-hand but if youwere to stumble into Bernies Barand Grill on a Tuesday eveningyoursquod find just that

Young parishioners at StGeorgersquos Catholic church andHoly Family Catholic churchhave been spending the secondTuesday of each month sharingthe highs and lows of faith overa pint at Bernies Bar and Grillon Wonderland Rd The event iscalled lsquoTheology on Taprsquo and itrsquosbecome a hit with young peopleall over the city

ldquoPart of our faith is about

building communityrdquo said PattyCoenen the youth co-ordinatorat Holy Family Parish ldquoThis givesyouth an opportunity to belong tosomething and to speak up in asafe and familiar environmentrdquo

Theology on Tap was started inChicago in the summer of 1981 byRev John Cusick He felt youngpeople needed a relaxed and wel-coming environment to discussquestion and debate their faith

Over the past 32 years Theol-ogy on Tap has spread across thecontinent St George and HolyFamily decided bring a versionof the event to London two yearsago after realizing there was littleprogramming available for youngpeople between the ages of 19and 40

ldquoPope Francis has been sayingwe need to be more c reative withour evangelization and this awonderful opporuntiy to practisethatrdquo said Coenen ldquoWersquore notlecturing people This is an openforum where young people canask questions and challenge theirfaithrdquo

Each month there is a guestspeaker who presents on a theo-logical topic followed by a candidquestion-and-answer sessionGuests are welcome to minglebefore and after the talk and areinvited to share their own storiesand challenges Munchies are onthe house but drinks must bebought at th e bar

One of the most popular Theol-ogy on Tap nights is the lsquoGrill aPriestrsquo night where communitymembers are welcome to askpriests just about anythingThe questions have touched oneverything from pre-priesthood

romances to the daily struggleswith the divineWhile Theology on Tap has

soared in popularity Coenen saysthe event will always be specifi-cally for people between the agesof 19 and 39 but open to peoplefrom all religious backgroundsand beliefs Keeping the nightsfocused on a target age groupkeeps people comfortable andcandid about their experienceswith faith

Itrsquos also a way to capture theyouth whose presence at localparishes has dwindled in recentyears

ldquoWe get a lot of universitystudentsrdquo said Coenen ldquoTheyrsquoregetting excited about faith againThey get to learn and listen inan environment where they feelcomfortablerdquo

Pupils at St Theresa Catholicelementary school in Byron now havea place to relax during recess

The school recently put togethera peace garden giving kids a much-needed space to hang out and chat

or readldquoItrsquos a space for our kids to sitrdquo said

Susie Schulert-Quenneville the prin-

cipal at St Theresa ldquoTheyrsquove beensaying theyrsquove wanted a place to sitand talk in the school yard for awhilerdquo

The garden features a collectionof large rocks donated by BolerMountain and benches for people to

sit on There are 14 tons of pebblesscattered across the earth making upthe base of the garden In the spring

trees will be planted and a priest willcome and bless it Nearby residentsare also invited to use the garden as aplace to mediate quietly relax or read

But for now thanks to MotherNature itrsquos all buried under a heaping

pile of snowThe funds required to build the

St Theresa Peace Garden came from

Union Gas Community InvolvementGrant which provides communitygroups and organizations with upto $1000 to purchase supplies andmaterials for a project that enhancestheir community

Kristyn Parsons is a parent atSt Theresa and an employee of UnionGas When she heard the school wastrying to raise money for a garden shehelped them secure the grant

ldquoI thought it was a great fit becauseit was something that would improvethe community and the experience of

my childrenrdquo she saidIn addition to the money Union

Gas also sent a group of volunteers tohelp with the gardens construction inmid-November

ldquoWe like to get our staff out therefor some sweat equityrdquo Parsons said

Pupils and parents joined UnionGas volunteers on Nov 16 to build thepeace garden There were so manyvolunteers that all 14 tons of pebble

were laid in just one h ourldquoThe community effort was really

greatrdquo said Schulert-Quenneville

The Oakridge Optimists are team-ing up with the Thames Valley Districtschool board to help students snuffout bullying

The organization has created aLiving the Pledge award to celebratestudents who have been courageouscaring and determined in their com-mitment to end bullying

After hearing the heartbreakingstories of students whorsquove

ldquoWe wanted to inspire somestudents to take The Pledge more

seriously by providing the awardsrdquoBlair says

The award recipients must beactive members of the school com-munity be determined and vocaladvocates in the commitment to endbullying in their schools and live thewords of The Pledge

The final match against a longtime rivalon homecourt fans screaming wildly in thestands alumni anxiously looking on

But when the buzzer sounded during thesenior boys volleyball OFSAA final at Oakridgesecondary school on Saturday the Oakswerenrsquot the ones emerging victorious Theylost by only two points in their final set to rivalsChatham-Kent Golden Hawks dashing theirdreams of OFSAA gold

But itrsquos the way the boys h andled themselvesduring the game and afterward that has headcoach Jamie Nielson beaming with pride nearlya week later

During the final set the Oaks were up 13-11when a call went against the team

ldquoAll of us jumped off the bench in reactionrdquoNielson said about the coaches ldquoWe were allupset and showing emotion My first reactionwas to calm the players down but as I lookedout on the floor all six of them were looking ateach other saying lsquoitrsquos OK itrsquos only one pointrsquoThat showed so much character and maturityItrsquos giving me chills right now thinking about itThatrsquos the sign of a champion teamrdquo

At the postgame dinner the boys laugh edand smiled they didnrsquot sulk or keep their headsdown They knew a silver finish was an accom-plishment they should be proud of ldquoWe wearour silver medals with priderdquo Nielson said

The bond the players shared this seasonwas truly unique They started out in Septem-ber as teammates and finished their season

as best friends Practising five days a weeksometimes six and traveling for tournaments

on weekends meant the team got to know eachother extremely wellldquoWersquove all become very closerdquo said Gr 12

student Mitchell Willoughby Team captain An-drew Richards echoed his remarks ldquoWe turnedinto best friends this year I know I have 12 guyswho will always have my backrdquo he said

Despite Saturdayrsquos heartbreaking loss theOaks had an excellent season They pulled off40 wins six losses and two ties this year Agreat performance from one of the best vol-leyball teams in Ontario

The Oakridge volleyball program is knownas one of the best in the province with a longlist of impressive alumni like Olympian PaulDuerden Nielson was also a former Oakridgevolleyball star and has spent nearly two de-cades coaching the team He says th e caliberof the program has only increased

ldquoWhen I played I thought the team we hadwas really good but the teams Irsquove coachedover the past few years wouldrsquove definitelycreamed usrdquo Nielson said

There were dozens of alumni cheering along-side fans and students on Saturday Belongingto such a tight knit program has an effect onthe players

ldquoTherersquos great respect among athletes ofOakridge volleyballrdquo Nielson said ldquoWersquove gota long strong history of guys giving back tothe program our boys want to continue thetraditionrdquo

Living in west London means winterrsquoswrath is nothing new But the heaps ofsnow that piled up in late November caughtmany motorists off guard Donrsquot get stuckin the snow and stop sliding through icystreets An early winter means the time towinterize your vehicle is now

Invest in winter tiresIf yoursquore driving a newer car thatrsquos not a

truck or an SUV yoursquoll likely want to investin a set of winter tires this season

ldquoIt all comes down to safetyrdquo says WayneHowie owner of Byron Automotive ldquoWitha snow tire you increase friction meaningbetter stability and traction when yoursquore onthe roadrdquo

Winter weather can limit traction puttingthe safety of drivers and their passengers in

jeopardy Winter tires can more effectivelyhandle roads that are covered in snow andice than all-season tires

Drivers of newer sedans and compactcars should definitely consider winter tiresThe high performance tires on many new

vehicles help with steering and controlbut do little to grip the road during icy andsnowy conditions

Another way to improve traction duringthe winter months is to constantly monitortire pressure which decreases more rapidlywhen the weather is cold Properly inflatedtires provide better traction and protectagainst damage that may occur when driv-ing over potholes

Test your anti-freezeOne of the most important things to

ensure when the mercury drops is thatyour anti-freeze is working properly Howiesays Make sure you have it tested and thatitrsquos strong enough to endure temperaturesas low as -30 C Most anti-freezes last fiveto seven years but get it tested regularlyWithout anti-freeze your vehicle couldcompletely shut down

Check your oilConsider a low-viscosity oil in the winter

The owners manual of your vehicle mayrecommend you use a lower viscositymotor oil to counter the dip in temperaturethats synonymous with winter When thetemperatures outside fall the oil insideyour vehicle thickens and a thicker oilwont circulate through the engine as wellThis can cause engine problems becausethe engine wont be adequately lubricatedA low-viscosity oil is naturally thinner soit may improve lubrication throughout thewinter The vehicle owners manual should

recommend oils based on climate If nottalk to your mechanic about changing fromthe oil you use throughout the year to a low-viscosity alternative during the winter

Inspect your vehicleNo one wants to be out on the road

during the first snowstorm of the yearonly to discover certain components arenot working properly Belts and hoseswhile durable can be put through strenu-ous conditions during the winter monthsso a close inspection of belts and hoses

should be conducted in late fall In additionwindshield wipers are especially importantin winter when snowfall can drasticallyimpact visibility You will want your wipersworking at full capacity once the winterbegins so replace older wipers (shelf lifefor standard wipers is typically one year)and use a de-icing windshield washer fluidto maximize visibility

Check your batteryAnother component that must be in-

spected is your cars battery Many drivershave experienced a dead battery which inwarm weather is more of a nuisance thana health concern In cold weather a deadbattery can threaten your health if you findyourself stranded in cold weather Espe-cially low temperatures can compromisea batterys power by as much as 50 sohave your battery inspected in late fall andreplace it if need be

Dont be caught off guardPart of winterizing a vehicle is being

prepared if the vehicle breaks down Make

sure you have extra washer fluid in yourvehicles trunk and dont forget to includean ice scraper snow brush or even a snowshovel in the trunk as well A snow shovelmay be necessary if you need to dig yourcar out if its been buried somewhere otherthan your driveway Other items to carry inyour trunk include a blanket a change ofclothes an extra hat an extra pair of glovessome nonperishable food and a few bottlesof water

ROAD SAFETY Simple steps drivers should take to winterize their vehicles and be prepared for emergencies

The snowstorm that hit at the end ofNovember causing headaches for localmotorists Stay safe on the roads thiswinter by taking proper care of your vehicle

Winterize your ride

YOUR SAFETY YOUR SCHOOLS

Pupils at John Dearnesspublic school are keeping itfresh this winter

The school is one of thefirst in the city to incorpo-rate fresh produce into itsannual food drive

The idea was sparked byColleen Jordan a formerJohn Dearness parent whowas inspired to add a f reshperspective to the schoolrsquostraditional food drive aftertaking a class in communityleadership

For Jordan adding fresh

food made sense on twofronts Itrsquos a way to teachchildren about makinghealthy food choices andit boosts the London FoodBankrsquos fresh produce stock

She called the campaignlsquoThe Ground Rulesrsquo

ldquoItrsquos all about makingyouth aware of healthy eat-

ing eating as close to theground as we canrdquo she said

Students were asked tobring in non-perishablesduring the week-long fooddrive and bring in their freshproduce on Friday morn-ing The London Food Bankpicked up nearly 100 boxesof food Friday afternoon

ldquoWe had over 100 boxesof food and we only have170 families at our schoolrdquosaid principal Tom BurnsldquoIrsquom so proud of thestudents and the school

community The responsewas fantasticrdquo

While John Dearness isthe first school in the areato incorporate fresh foodinto its food drive Jordanhas introduced the conceptto several other schools inthe area

NUTRITION John Dearness becomesfirst school to incorporate fresh food intoits annual collection

A fresh idea

Kelsey Shewgett and Camilyn Cheng carry boxes of freshfood ready to be donated to the London Food Bank

Why do you think itrsquos important to

support small businesses and localshops during the Chirstmas rush

Szpakowski I believe supporting smallbusinesses and locally owned shops helps tobuild strong communities that sustains vibrantneighbourhoods and connects residents

and shoppers to a network of economic and social relationships Remembering that localbusinesses are owned by people who live inthis community they are often family ownedbusinesses they employ local people and these

are folks who are less likely to leave and who are invested in the communityrsquos future

Peterson I always preach every dollar you spend is a vote for how you want to see theworld Every dollar spent on the web or in a USowned boxstore is a vote to say that is more ofwe want in the future It is the biggest retailtime of the year Of course it is important to

support local shops and small businesses

What are some of thebenefits to buying local

Szpakowski Where we shop where we eat andhave fun it all makes our community homeOur one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral

part of the distinctive character of Hyde Park

and are the making of Hyde Park becoming adestination spot

Peterson There is much more uniqueness tothe experience ndash from the gift that may be more

personal to the individual shopping in a local shop that has been decorated personally by the shop providing a warm inviting atmosphere(the true Christmas experience) and serviceThey can provide a service that big box storescant provide for that purchase

Where do you like to do your Christmas shopping

Szpakowski I love the smaller shops andthe ambience they offer It is such a pleasant

shopping experience over the crowds in thebig box environment Most of our shopping isdone in the Hyde Park corner from sending

gifts from Featherfields to family in Montreal to

purchasing Christmas decorations and trees atVan Horiks Im looking forward to purchasing

some unique olive oils at Olive-Me this year

Peterson Small shops I love the ChristmWasmagic of a small store especially coming in outof the cold to a warm inviting environmentmusic playing lights and decorations

YOUR COMMUNITY BUYING Independent stores and shops offer better shopping

experience than malls and big box stores

Move over mallsndash its all aboutlocal shopping

Standing behind a counter lined with jars of chocolate Matt Scanlan knowshersquos got a pretty sweet job

ldquoItrsquos been phenomenalrdquo said themanager of Forratrsquos Chocolates andLounge on Commissioners Road WestldquoWe knew (this venue) was going to bevery coolrdquo

The lounge opened up two years agooffering Byron residents a place to go fora glass of wine and a chocolate fondueldquoThis is basically a new concept anda twist on the chocolate storerdquo saidScanlan stirring a melted pot of thesweets to a smooth con sistency

The holidays are a busy time of yearfor the business but Scanlan said

customers have been supportivesince the beginning ldquoA lot ofpeople said itrsquos nice that Byron hassomething like this something todo at nightrdquo he said

London chocolatier Marc Forrat ownsthe corporation but Scanlan and his wifeKristen are left to their own devices whenit comes to running the lounge Forrattaught Scanlan the tricks of the trade sothat Scanlan is able to design his own richsweet creations

But chocolate can be temperamentaland working with it takes practice ldquoWhenyoursquore stirring chocolate every day youkind of get used to itrdquo

Scanlan 32 came to the business after alifetime in the hospitality industry He hadworked in restaurants as everything froma busboy to server and line cook beforeopening the lounge The opportunity to

transition to a venue where he had morecreative control seemed like a natural fit

ldquoItrsquos all hospitality related and th atrsquoswhatrsquos nice about this conceptrdquo he said ldquoIt

was something we could do for ourselvesrdquoIn the beginning that also brought a

new set of ch allenges ldquoOff the start itwas difficult Irsquod never had the challenge

of doing everythingrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos kind oflearning as you gordquo

But operating the store also meantthat Scanlan could experiment with the

products he produces Scanlan said aboutone third of the treats that line the storewalls are new creations designed sincethe venue was first opened ldquoWersquore alwaystesting the products thatrsquos the fun partrdquohe said as the smell of fresh desserts filledthe room

So how does one stay trim surroundedby a boundless supply of chocolateimported from Europe ldquoA lot of selfrestraintrdquo he laughed ldquoWhen itrsquos atyour disposal 247 you kind of lose that(desire)rdquo

Thatrsquos not to say there arenrsquot drawbacksof making chocolate fondue every dayldquoNow when I mess u p I can never get my

wife chocolate It doesnrsquot have quite thesame meaning to itrdquo
