Put this super soda to work
(NC) Baking soda has long been
the star of household cleaning and
personal care – in fact the number of
uses for this simple box
of powder is remarkable.
Baking soda is a pure and
natural substance, making it easy to use all over
the house, even around
children. It can be used
in baking, as a cleaning
product, and as an odour
remover.Baking soda gets
its name from one of its
most traditional
uses – as a leavening agent for baked
goods -- but some of
its other applications
may surprise you.
Here are just a few
ways it can be used
around the home:
Essentials with biodegradable plant
based soaps. In fact, the company
has developed several laundry formulas, all containing baking
soda.
The versatile powder
neutralizes odours so it
can be used to deodorize
all over the house from
the fridge to the car to
the litter box.
Try using baking soda
as a facial scrub and
body exfoliant. Its
crystalline structure
provides a gentle
abrasion that helps
to remove dirt and
oil without scratching. Just be careful
around the eyes.
Baking soda is a pure
and natural cleanser,
making it a great
alternative to harsher
chemicals, especially
on clothes and other
personal items.
When used to clean
clothes and other
fabrics, baking soda
balances the PH in
your wash water, to get them cleaner,
fresher and brighter. You can add a
scoop to your regular wash cycle, or
choose a detergent with baking soda
already in it, like Arm & Hammer
From
An oil stain on the
garage floor is no
problem. Use baking soda to clean
up light-duty oil and
grease spills on concrete by sprinkling it
on the oil spot and
scrubbing with a wet
brush.

tips and tricks are available at ArmAndHammerLaundry.ca.

Winter tires save lives and money
(NC) There is nothing more beautiful than a highway lined with autumn
colours. They take one’s breath away.
But, just as soon as they appear,
they’ll be gone and the sub-zero
temperatures will be the next thing to
take one’s breath away. While we can
all agree that the prospect of winter
is pretty miserable — unless you’re a
skier — there’s really nothing worse
than hitting a patch of black ice. But
according to recent Canadian Tire
survey, a majority of drivers in Ontario, the Prairies and British Columbia
choose not to install winter tires, mistakenly believing that all-season tires
offer adequate safety.
The evidence says otherwise. In winter-condition tests, Transport Canada
and the Rubber Association of Canada
found that stopping was 30 to 40 per
cent longer with
all-season compared to winter
tires. In cornering, vehicles with
all-season tires
went off the testing track at speeds
of only 40 to 50
km/h, while the
vehicles equipped
with winter tires
had no problem.
The results were consistent with
front-, rear- and all-wheel vehicles.
The experts from Desjardins Insurance
agree that winter tires are designed to
save lives. “What’s interesting is that
many people who live in snow-belt
regions across the country recognize
the need for them,” said Desjardins
spokesperson Joe Daly. “But some
drivers in urban regions don’t see the
need to switch. The fact is we’ve all
experienced those icy mornings when
you’re rushing to work or school and
the salt trucks just haven’t made it to
5
THE LONEY GROUP REAL ESTATE INFORMATION CORNER
your neighbourhood yet. These conditions are much more dangerous than
just plain snow and having the right
tires can keep every one safe.”
The reason why these tires are the
most effective at preventing accidents
is because they have deeper, speciallydesigned treads and are made of
innovative rubber compounds that are
softer and more pliant. This allows
them to perform better on ice, snow
and slush, but also in both dry and
wet conditions when the temperature
dips below 7C.
Daly also suggests that it’s also important to keep an eye on your tires’
air pressure. “Overnight temperatures
can drop from 5˚ to –15˚ and this
rapid reduction can zap the air out
of you tires by as much as 4 psi. An
under-inflated tire can
be quite dangerous,
so it’s important to
keep tracking your tire
pressure.”
Having a safe winter
is a great reason to
equip your car with
the best tires. Transport Canada suggests
that “winter tires
marked with the pictograph of a peaked mountain with a
snowflake meet specific snow traction
performance requirements, and have
been designed specifically for use in
winter conditions.” Another incentive
is that some insurance companies like
Desjardins will reward their clients
who use winter tires with a discount
on their auto insurance.

driving safety, visit Desjardins Insurance at www.desjardinsgeneralinsurance.com.

BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY DÉCOR BRINGS THE OUTDOORS INSIDE
(NC) - As trends come and go, what was all the rage last holiday season is well, last season. So
to help homeowners stay in the know with what's “trending” this year, Ulya Jensen, a home
décor expert for leading retailer, RONA, shares her expertise on the latest and greatest trends for
this season.
“Earthy rustic is the name of the game for holiday decorating this year. Bringing the outdoors in
is really trending, and using nature to decorate the inside of your home will help keep a fresh
current look; think birch bark, pinecones, fir tree sprigs, candles, warm faux fur throws and lots
of sparkle and twinkle,” Jensen says.
Dishing on lights, she continued: “Mirrored ornaments and trays on your dining table, coffee
table or hanging from your chandelier really helps reflect interior lights and gives the allure of
shining stars.”
To make a big impact she suggests switching your everyday dining room chandelier for one with
lots of glass or crystal, giving the dining room a more decadent feel. When it comes to tree
lights, pre-lit indoor trees make decorating easy. Not only will it save you time and possible
frustration, but it will look perfect as the lights are placed evenly throughout the tree.
Lastly, if you are one for hosting holiday parties, it is important to create a welcoming entrance
for your guests. This year large cast iron lanterns are on trend for the front steps. Additionally,
use a live wreath to scent your entryway with fresh pine greens and keep the outdoor lights
neutral. A simple string of mono-toned lights surrounding the window will get you the perfect
holiday effect.

Baking
 decide if you want to have it
around first
 if yes, do you enjoy baking, if so
plan an evening or a day to bake
with a friend or family member,
get all your baking done at once
 also if you do not want to bake
you can support your local church
bazaars and get all your baking
that way
 another way to do this is get a
bunch of friends or colleagues
together and have a cookie exchange
 it is great to have homemade baking on hand for Hostess Gifts, to
give to neighbours that help you
out during the year or just to have
when friends drop by
Wrapping Station
 this can be done two ways, in a
couple of wrapping paper totes
labeled and on a shelf
 or a wrapping station if you have
the room, have a table counter
height, above it have your paper
and ribbon mounted on wall with
doweling
 make sure you have with it tape
and scissors
 if you are to over whelmed and
need help with wrapping, give us
a call
Entertaining
 keep it simple, you do not want to
be in the kitchen, you want to be
enjoying the party
 prepare as much ahead of time
 have ingredients on hand for quick
party pleaser if someone drops by
last minute
 if you want to entertain but do not
want to do the food, hire it out
 also think about hiring a couple
high school students to assist in
the serving
 open houses are great to invite
everyone you want to have over in
one afternoon or evening
Meals for the busy season
 prepare meals for November and
December that can be double up,
then put the extra meal away in
the freezer for a busy night
 make sure your pantry is well
stocked so you can pulled together a simple meal at all times
Family time
 don’t forget to stay well rested
and connected to the family
around you
 keep routine as much as possible
 delegate jobs so everyone feels
they are part of the Christmas
season
Spiral Notebook
 always carry with you for shopping lists, errands
 gift ideas
 phone messages
 to do’s
These are my organizing tips for the
holidays.
Remember the Season for the Season,
enjoy your family and friends, help out

How to regift old electronics after new gadget
gifting
(NC) Tech gadgets are always a popular gift for a loved one or personal
pampering over the holidays. And
while we personalize settings and try
out new features, we may not stop
to think about what becomes of the
gadgets that were replaced.
Give Away to Family & Friends: Did
you get a shiny, new tablet upgrade?
The one you replaced still works (it’s
just not pink). Your friends and family
would be more than happy to take last
year’s model (the black one) off your
hands.
“We love to keep pace with brighter,
faster, shinier electronics, but the
purchasing the latest tech gear often
leaves other smartphones, notebooks,
laptops or cameras tucked away in
drawers and closets,” says Sandra
Pakosh, Director, Communications of
Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES).
“It’s important to remember that there
is still some value in those old items if
they are reused and recycled properly,
and in Ontario we’ve made it convenient for people to do just that through
our province-wide network of drop-off
points called RecycleYourElectronics.
ca.”
Sell: There are lots of web sites that
make selling your out-of-use electronics quick and easy.
Recycle: Electronics contain substances of concern that can harm our
waterways, roadways and eco systems
if not disposed of properly. In addition, they also contain metals, glass
and plastic that can be turned into
raw materials for future production of
new products. By resolving to do our
part by donating still functioning devices for reuse, or recycling electronics
using OES-approved service providers,
we can enjoy the fun and benefits of
gifted gadgets.
This holiday, keep “leftover” electronics from gathering dust or ending up
in landfill by following these simple
tips:

Let’s work together for global food security
An opinion-editorial by Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Anglican Church of Canada
(NC) I often speak about various issues and events that are having an
impact on local communities here in
Canada, whether this is the flooding
experienced in Calgary earlier in the
year, or a fundraising initiative for a local Church. Life-threatening problems
outside Canada are also expected to
affect us significantly – and international food security is one of these.
My role as Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Canada – and as
the president of the Church’s official
initiative, The Primate’s World Relief
and Development Fund (PWRDF) – is
to bring communities together, inspire
positive change, and encourage involvement. This can take a number of
different forms; in some cases Church
go-ers are compelled to get involved
by volunteering their time and skills,
while others support a cause through
financial donations. At the end of the
day, what matters is that the community responds and becomes engaged
– this is what it is all about.
With so many human and environmental issues here at home, it can
be difficult to look past the confines
of our own backyard to places like
Mozambique or Haiti, but as a global
community it is our responsibility to
maintain a greater sense of awareness and establish connections with
those in need of help. As mentioned,
an issue that is common to communities around the world and something
that continues to be a focus for me
and the Church is food security and
sustainability.
What do I mean by ‘food security’?
It is not a term well understood by
most, but it refers to the availability
of food and one’s access to it. Food
security is vital and without it, people
may not be able take medicine, sleep,
go to school, work and generally contribute to society. Food and nutrition
are fundamental for positive physical
and mental health, fueling community
growth and prosperity.
For the average Canadian, it may
seem impossible to have any impact
on such a massive issue like international food security, but that is where
I need to remind everyone that no
matter how big a challenge is or may
appear to be, getting involved and
making a contribution is key. Everyone
has their own definition of ‘commitment’ and I encourage those contemplating involvement to do so in a
way that makes them comfortable. At
the end of the day, as long as we are
engaged in the issue, we will make a
difference.
many things: It ensures that patients
have access to food so that they can
take their medicine; it inspires the
global community to recognize that
it all starts with food; and, that by
reaching out we can all help to make
a difference. We can have a positive
impact and change the lives of those
in need.
Three other projects that highlight
the food security issue will be shared
throughout 2014 with each demonstrating what can be accomplished
when global communities become
involved. Whether it is a ‘train the
trainer’ program designed to teach Cubans the art of farming, canning and
preserving foods, or training families
in East Africa on sustainable farming techniques to overcome poor soil
conditions, it all points to the larger
message of engagement and supporting communities both here in Canada
as well as those around the world.
More information is available online at
www.fredsays.ca or www.pwrdf.org.
PWRDF approaches the issue of food
security in the same way I encourage Canadians: every action counts.
I am often known simply as Fred and
personally, this issue is so important
to me now I’ve become the ‘face’ of
a new campaign – Fred Says – that
places a ‘unique’ spotlight on food
security and highlights four PWRDF
projects that are having an impact
and improving lives at a local level by
working to ensure community members have access to good, nutritious
food all year round.
Over the next eight months we will be
profiling a number of projects dedicated to making a difference when it
comes to food security and encouraging support from the community. For
example, in presenting the EHALE
program for AIDS patients in Mozambique, I ask; Have you eaten today?
For Canadians, I hope to provoke
some thought. Why might I be asking
this question? For these patients suffering from the AIDS virus, ensuring
they’ve eaten and are nourished is
vital, since without food the anti-retroviral medications can cause someone
to be ill and in some cases, even die.
We are looking to make meaningful
impacts on the lives of 600 more AIDS
patients living in Mozambique.
This is an achievable goal that does

Lucan Scouting and Guiding – December Newsletter
I would like to thank all the members of Scouting and Guiding who
wore their uniforms on Nov 11th to
honour those who have fought and
continue to fight for our freedoms. We
were grateful to Danielle Roelands,
the Canadian representative in the
Leader Development section of World
Association of Girl Guides and Girl
Scouts, who was able to attend the
ceremony at the Community Centre
in Lucan. Together with local Guiding
members, she laid a wreath on behalf
of Lucan Guiding. Both Scouting and
Guiding were able to be part of the
Legion’s colour party by carrying flags
during the ceremony. Many members
of Lucan and Ailsa Craig Scouting
were also on hand to lay a wreath.
We are proud and honoured to help.
Thank you to the leaders on hand as
well.
Citrus orders should be in mid December. Thank you for your support for
this and all our fundraising efforts.
Look for both Scouting and Guiding
members in the annual Lucan Santa
Claus parade. We are busy with all
levels planning camps, sleepovers,
community visits that include model
train club and Prince George retirement home. As always, your child
is welcome to join in the fun at any
time. I would be happy to provide
any information to you, or answer any
questions you may have.

Save on your tech expenses
(NC) Many of us will either give or
receive a new tech gadget this holiday season – whether it’s the latest
smartphone, tablet, or the in-between
phablet.
But having it all can often lead to
having a headache when it comes to
managing multiple plans for multiple
devices and making sure everyone
in the family has a plan to suit their
needs.
Here are four great little tips to help
you save on your household’s tech
expenses:
Bring back sharing. Score a great deal
on your wireless services by sharing
data and other features with your
family. While there are lots of service
options out there, a Rogers plan called
Share Everything is the only one that
let you add up to 10 wireless devices,
including basic talk and text phones
and tablets, so there’s an option for
everyone in the family. Sharing a data
bucket lets you meet everyone’s needs
while maximizing your data usage.
These plans include unlimited Canadawide talk and text, call display and
voicemail for even more bang for your
buck.
Monitor usage. Avoid surprises on
your monthly wirelessbill by regularly
tracking your usage. Most providers
have an app for that or you can log
in to manage your account online.
This is especially wise if you’re paying
for your kids’ cell phones, particularly
if they’re living away from home or
regularly streaming music and videos.
Trade up or trade in. Do you have cell
phones and other gadgets collecting
dust around the house? Trade them
in for a new device or credit, or gift
them to someone in the family to save
money on your monthly wireless bill.
Some companies offer savings to customers who add their own device to
a plan. Ask your carrier if they have a
BYOD discount to find out how much
you can save.

The holiday season will soon be upon
us, and the Lucan Skating Club is
gearing up for a busy month! Many
of our intermediate and senior skaters
are hard at work preparing for Test
Day, which will take place at our
club on Wednesday, December 4.
These skaters have spent the last 2
months perfecting their dances, skills,
freeskates, and interpretive solos. On
Test Day, the skaters will be evaluated
by a judge according to Skate Canada
standards. Good luck to everyone
who will be participating in Test Day!
Santa Claus is coming to Lucan
on December 7th, and some of
our skaters will be joining him for
the parade! One of our program
assistants, Vanessa Willems, is
organizing the Lucan Skating Club
float, and all skaters and parents
are invited to join in the fun! Please
ask at the Greeter’s Table for more
information.
On December 16 and 18, we will mark
the end of the fall skating season with
a Christmas Celebration. Santa Claus
will be out to skate with us, and keep
an eye out for his friend Buddy the
Elf, too! After the skate, the kids are
all invited to share in a special treat…
and if they’ve been good, there might
even be something special for them in
Santa’s sack!
Call (519) 227-0100 for appointment

Lucan, ON N0M 2J0
Maybe Santa will be leaving new
skates under the tree for some
children in our community? We
welcome new skaters to join us in the
new year! The skating season will
be back up and running on Monday,
January 6. We will be holding
registration nights for new skaters on
Monday, December 9 and Wednesday,
December 11 from 5:30 – 7:00 at
the arena. Give your children the gift
of learning to skate! Whether they
hope to pursue figure skating, play
hockey, or simply join their friends for
a recreational skate now and then,
the coaches at the Lucan Skating
Club will provide your children with
the skills to enjoy this great Canadian
pastime for years to come! For more
information, please see our website at
www.lucanskatingclub.com or email
us at lucanskatingclub@hotmail.com.
You can also feel free to come out and
watch one of our CanSkate sessions
to see what to expect, and talk to one
of our skating parents at the Greeter’s
Table if you have any questions.
The Executive of the Lucan Skating
Club would like to wish all our skaters
and their families a magical Christmas
season and a very happy 2014. We
hope you all get a little downtime
during the holidays, and maybe even
find some time for a family skate! See
you at the rink!
