Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back. With your support, Charlie’s Angels became one of the largest fundraisers in this year’s Relay for Life in

Stratford. The final tally put them at $10,823.07 Saturday morning and elevated them to “Gold” status. “It was an emotional night,” Jessica Harvey said. In memory of her father, Cephas “Charlie” Roth, who passed away on November 11, 2010, the Charlie’s Angels team was made up of family and extended family who came out to walk all night long as a remem-brance and a hope that someday a cure will be found. She and hus-band, Mike Harvey had done the walk five years ago in memory of Jessica’s grandmother. “This year, it had a different meaning,” she said. When Cephas was diagnosed last June, the family thought he would be walking the survivor’s lap with them. “It didn’t work out that way,” she said. “It was a really tough night, but I’m glad we went through with it.” Charlie’s Angels raised over $10,000.00, although they were announced as a “Silver Team” on Friday evening. About $2,600.00 of that was raised at a fundraising yard sale on June 4th. Although it was a rainy day, “people pulled up and got out of their cars in the pouring rain to support us,” said Jessica. Cephas’s wife, Paulette Roth, said it was quite “a bittersweet experience.” Her brother, Rick Morgenroth, came all the way from Alberta to be a part of the event. “I was so glad … it was pretty special,” Paulette admitted. Several Tavistock and area resi-dents participated in the Survi-vor’s Lap in Stratford including Janet Heinbuch who was wearing a ribbon proclaiming 7 years of

cancer-free. She walked along with three or four of her Breast Cancer support group, “Circle of Friends” who raised $2,462.45. The Danen family was partici-pating for the eighth year now with more than 30 family mem-bers in the walk. The Tractor Troop, some of every brand, included the children and grandchildren of the Tony Danen and Bart Danen fami-lies. Tony’s wife Jane passed away in 2003 and five of the 10 Danen families have been touched by cancer in some way. Their team raised $2,981.03. Saputo had a team for the first time this year with 10 members led by Jane McKay. The idea came

from discussions in their health and wellness programs at the plant. Participation in the Relay is big in other Saputo manufactur-ing centres and seemed a natural fit for Tavistock employees. The team, raised $1,753.50. Mike’s Valu-Tarts raised $2,187 in their third year of the Relay. Lynne Wilker led the team and was inspired to participate when members of her family and em-ployee’s relatives were affected by this devastating disease. This year’s Relay for Life in Stratford raised over $180,000 with 66 teams. They walked around Upper Queen’s Park in Stratford from 7:00 p.m. on Friday,

June 10 until 7:00 a.m. on Satur-day, June 11. The other gold teams were Firm Believers (Famme & Co.) and the Cancer Crusaders. Special, inspirational speaker for the evening’s opening ceremo-nies was 13-year-old Madison Scott of Whitby. She was partici-pating for the first time, in the Survivors’ Victory Lap, after bat-tling Acute Lymphoblastic Leuke-mia (ALL) since age 9. She had been boarding with Tavistock Grade 3/4 school teacher Mrs. Lisa VanOsch, her husband Ken, and their daughter, Madison, in Stratford, while she acted in the Stratford Festival Theatre’s pro-duction of “To Kill a Mockingbird” in 2007. She was diagnosed and spent two and a half years in treat-ment at Sick Kids Hospital in To-ronto before being declared can-cer-free. Her motivational words were an inspiration to all. An original song was debuted at the Relay by Stratford singer and songwriter Stewart Reynolds en-titled “Shine a Light.” Available on iTunes, proceeds go to the Relay. Mrs. VanOsch lost her father to cancer many years ago and has been a member of the Stratford Relay for Life committee for the past 10 years. She and her daugh-ter, and fellow Tavistock school teacher Sandra Alyea and her daughters, Sadie and Ainsleigh, were all part of the Walking on Funshine team that raised $3,000. This Friday evening, June 17, 2011, is the Relay for Life in Wood-stock. Several Tavistock, Hickson and area teams will participate once again in the Oxford County edition of the Relay. It takes place at College Avenue Secondary School beginning at 7:00 p.m. If you haven’t donated, please go online and pledge your support at http://convio.cancer.ca

Down on the farm storytellingWed., June 22 Not everyone grew up on the farm, but those who have, can tell you stories. And that’s just what the Tavistock & District Historical Society wants you to do. “Down on the Farm” is planned as an evening of storytelling about life on the farm. It doesn’t have to be a chapter out of a Letter from Wingfield Farm, but an anecdote or event that few people simply wouldn’t know about. Take for example the butcher-ing day when families would get together and ready their meat for the season. What about the days when farmers kept six or eight working horses in the barn. There were times for stooking the grain, threshing in the field with an old steam engine, and cutting flax. Pitching hay up onto the wagon was tiring. Back then, cows were milked in the field and cans of milk driven to the cheese factory. Children were often given the task of feeding the chickens and gathering eggs. They also learned how to catch them for supper. If you had a strong back, hoeing tur-nips was your task. Or one of the most unique operations in the area was boiling willow branches and weaving them into baskets of all shapes and sizes. Come and join others as they share in storytelling on Wednes-day evening, June 22, 2011 at the Tavistock Men’s Club Hall begin-ning at 7:30 p.m. A storyteller will be on hand to get things started.

Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.

EVENT

The New Hamburg Concert Band performed another Senior’s Concert at Tavistock Public School on Tuesday, June 7, 2011. This is the 29th year the band has per-formed in Tavistock. This year they were under the direction of conductor George Holmes who led the group through contempo-

rary numbers such as Michael Jackson’s “You are the World,” and old favourites such as “The Teddy Bear’s Picnic.” Members retired to the home of Bob and Doris Gladding on Wil-liam Street South in Tavistock for a time of refreshments and fellow-ship following the concert.


When your career is determined by a passion for helping people, you can’t help but be good at it. Growing up in northern Ontario, near Thunder Bay, Shannon Bun-nett learned to love sports. She spent her leisure time cross-coun-try skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding in the winter and in the warmer months you’d find her camping, hiking, trail running and mountain biking. Later, she took on the enjoyment of spinning and yoga and playing squash. This led her to receive her Hon-ours Kinesiology degree from Lakehead University in Thunder Bay. She joined a competitive row-ing team at that time and that ex-perience caused her to focus on hydration studies. She then at-tended the University of Guelph where she received her Masters of Nutritional Science degree. While attending university, a part-time job turned into an ap-prenticeship at a local lab that made orthotics. She fast-tracked the three-year program and grad-uated in 2000. Then, by chance and circumstance, a business ven-ture arose in Stratford and she hasn’t looked back. She has oper-ated her own Pedorthist business in Stratford since June of 2000. Working out of the Pysiothera-py Alliance location at 276 Huron Street in Stratford, Shannon has previously had clinics in Wood-stock and St. Marys, but is now focusing on the Stratford and Ta-

vistock locations, and opening an office in Waterloo in the fall. “I like multi-disciplinary offices where other health professionals are un-der one roof.” The principles in her practice are customer service, education and communication. “I really want to help people feel better,” she said. There are many individuals who may provide custom foot or-thotics, however, Shannon says she puts the needs of the patient first and maintains a high level of care. Providing footwear educa-tion on features and fit is vital to her practice. She works with local shoe stores to ensure that her pa-tients have a variety of appropri-ate footwear to choose from. Fol-low up appointments help to ensure that the orthotics are com-fortable and helping, and that any new footwear fits appropriately. Pedorthic reports are sent to all referring professionals to main-tain communication between Shannon and the health care pro-viders of her patients. “How do they walk, stand. What is their alignment. I feel I’m very thorough,” Shannon said. And with a beginning background in the manufacture of foot orthotics, Shannon is one step ahead of most pedorthists. “I know how to make it,” she said. “And I can ad-just, fine tune or repair many or-thotics in my mini-lab right on site,” she added. That gives her pa-tients immediate feed back, a true benefit. Based on a number of physical problems with feet, ankles or knees, either through injury or ab-normalities, a physician or other prescribing healthcare provider’s referral is required. As footwear and orthoses ex-perts, Canadian Certified Pedor-thists work as members of the healthcare team to alleviate pain-ful or debilitating conditions of the lower limbs. They can accom-modate foot deformities, help with

the re-alignment of anatomical structures, improve balance, and enhance the actions of the lower limbs for improved control of bio-mechanical function. Shannon has been involved with the College of Pedorthics through proctoring exams and acting in a supervisory role to stu-dents from the Diploma of Pedor-thics program during their practi-cums as well to co-op students from Lakehead University.

Oxford County road painting operations are soon to begin for the summer. As seen above, the road painter is a white single axle truck with a ‘caution, road painting’ sign in fluorescent green on the back. This vehicle applies the paint and glass beads to the yellow centreline and the white edge lines. The water-based paint dries very quickly, but may still be wet behind the truck. If you stay back and do not pass, you will avoid getting paint on your vehicle.

When approaching this piece of equipment from behind please avoid passing if possible and continue to obey the signs on the roadway. Slowing down and proceeding with caution will help keep you, your vehicle, and County workers safe.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

Mite Girls win at Mitchell Game # 5 was the championship final, a re-match with the Mitchell squad. Tavi-stock’s squeezed out a 7-6 victory. Brown started striking out 9 batters and Cressman struck out 3 to preserve the victory and the Gold Medals for the A’s. Cressman again was stellar at the plate collecting another 3 hits including a home run. M. Bailey con-nected for a big 2 RBI double with single hits going to E. Brown, K. Lamond and M. Hofstetter. The Mite Girls #1 squad is comprised of a majority of first year players, so this victory is a great confidence boost for this young, but talented team.

Mark BrooksThis month comes with sad regret,

Brings back a day we will never forget.The blow was great, the shock severe,

We little thought the end was near.And only those who have lost can tell,The pain of parting without farewell.

No one knows the grief we bear,When your family meets

and you’re not there.You left us so suddenly,Your thoughts unknown;But you left us memories

We are proud to own.Always in our hearts you will always stay,

Yesterday, today, tomorrow, always.Mom, Dad, Adam & Jacqueline.
