Parade buttons began in 1969. Pictured here is the oldest button in the
Museum’s collection. It is believed to be from 1970. it is not known if buttons were made from 1971 to 1973. Next to this button is last year’s. Later
buttons show a wide range of design and a good use of colour. I wonder what
the 2011 button will look like?

AND ARCHIVES

Yuletide customs began with the first settlers in
1794. In those days Christmas was more of a religious
observance and New Years
was the main celebratory
event. The use of decorations and the giving of gifts
was not yet a big part of our
traditions. Gordon Conant,
great-grandson of original
Darlington pioneer Roger
Conant, mentions how the
reduced hours of sunlight
and cold weather enforced
idleness on the early settlers.
Travel was, during the winter months, at its smoothest
and easiest if one went by
horse and cutter and therefore it was a time of social
gatherings and weddings.
Perhaps the earliest record of
Christmas customs we have
comes from Catherine Parr
Traill who had settled near
Rice Lake in the 1830’s. She
was well known to and corresponded frequently with
several Bowmanville families. In her books she mentions making a Christmas
wreath out of cedar, a festive
dinner of a fatted goose, and
a visit by her sister.
By the late 1800s many
of the Christmas traditions
we know today were firmly
in place. The Jury family
who lived in the house that
is now the Bowmanville
Museum celebrated the
season by going to church,
giving gifts and having a
large dinner. Their dinner
was served at noon and the
younger members of the
family spent the afternoon
walking to Port Darlington
and back. Like many other
Bowmanville families the
Jurys favoured a cedar tree
for a Christmas tree. Today,
this may seem an unusual
choice as we prefer pine of
spruce trees. Why cedars
were popular here is not
definitely known. They do
give off a fresh aroma when
brought into the house and
cedar was widely used for
wreaths and garlands. One
old-timer suggested it was
because you could walk
down to Bowmanville Creek
and cut one down for free
rather than buying one from
a King Street merchant!
2011 not only marks the
50th anniversary of the
Bowmanville Museum, but
also the Bowmanville Santa
Claus Parade. This annual
event is eagerly awaited by
young and old alike and really begins the Christmas
season. The parade has
long been regarded as one
of the best if not the best in
the area. The fact that it has
been from the beginning a
non-commercial parade has
ensured its close community
connections and added immensely to its appeal. The
first parade in 1961 attracted
20,000 spectators and featured, “14 marvelous floats,
60 costumed figures, 11
brilliant bands and clowns
galore.” Some of the groups
that participated were the
Peterborough Majorettes,
Orono Band, Tyrone L.O.L.
Fife and Drum Band, Oshawa Sons of Ulster Piccolo
Band, Bowmanville Salvation Army Band, The Lindsay Kavaliers’ Band, Bowmanville Legion Pipe Band,
Belleville Majorettes and the
Bowmanville Ontario Training School for Boys’ Band.
It was the idea of local funeral director Carson Elliott
who along with Ian Turner,
representing the Bowmanville Kiwanis Club and
Chamber of Commerce, got
the project off the ground.
Carson Elliott had recently
come to Bowmanville from
Belleville. While there, with
the help of the Belleville
Fire Department, he had
assisted them in putting on
their Santa Claus parade.
He used these contacts in
Bowmanville. Belleville Fire

Building Business Value
by Peter Hobb
Hobb & Company
chartered accountants
www.hobb.ca
In my last article I wrote
that more than 80% of business owners believe that the
money they receive from the
sale of their businesses is very
or somewhat important in
meeting their financial retirement goals. The sad reality is that when most small
to medium sized businesses
are sold, money is left on the
table. The main reason for this
is that these businesses were
not ready to be sold. Selling
a business is no different than
selling a home. Like a home,
most businesses need a touch
up, some more than others,
before actively looking for a
buyer. This is one important
reason why it is never too early
to start planning for the exit
from your business. Creating
the true value of your business
can take many years. We advise our clients it could take as
many as ten years.
How do you get started? The
best starting point is determining what the value of your business is today. This will give you
a base against which you can
measure how successful you
are in improving the value of
your business. It also brings
a dose of reality. We find that
many business owners are unrealistic about what their businesses are really worth. This is
not to say that they couldn’t do
things to make their business
worth more. If you are unrealistic about the value of your
business, you are going to have
a very difficult time attracting
potential buyers.
When selling a business it
is important to know what a
prospective purchaser is looking for when they want to purchase a business. One thing
they look for is whether the
business relies on the business
owner for its success. If it does
the prospective purchaser will
likely not be very interested.
Ask yourself, can this business
function successfully if I was
not here? If you cannot answer this question positively
you need to take steps to work
yourself out of the day-to-day
operations of your business.
You need to put a strong management team in place. If you
are successful in doing this you
will have reduced the risk to a
potential purchaser driving up
the value of your business.
It is also important to be
able to articulate your business strategy. Where do your
products or services fit in the
market place? Do you understand your customer and their
needs? How do you stay ahead
of your competition? How do
you differentiate yourself from
your completion? How do you
make money? Are you focused
on higher margin products?
Do you have a growth plan? A
clear strategy will reduce risk to
a prospective purchaser driving up business value.
There are other areas of
your business that could be
addressed that would likely
improve business value and
make it more saleable. These
include creating or improving
your company’s systems and
processes, adding new product
lines, diversifying your suppliers, increasing your customer
base, reducing business debt,
paying for personal items per-
sonally and not through your
business, etc. This list is not exhaustive. I could write a much
longer article on this subject.
Improving business value
and making your business
more saleable is not a complex
science. It normally just takes
a commitment to doing things
differently and moving ahead.
The first step is the most difficult. Future steps become
easier. If you do not start taking these steps you may never
maximize the value of your
business when you sell and,
accordingly, not achieve your
financial retirement goals.

A Miracle in the Making
First, I would like to say
thank you to those many
individuals who have gone
out of their way to express to
Cathy and I how much they
enjoy reading the ClaringtonPromoter. The history of
our Community is endless
and I trust there is still much
for all of us to learn. Thanks

The “Bowmanville Downtowner” is a quarterly publication designed by the Downtown Bowmanville Business Community to inform the general public about the various seasonal
community activities that take place in Downtown Bowmanville.
You will find the Christmas edition of the Bowmanville
Downtowner is the pull-out centrefold section of this edition
of the ClaringtonPromoter. We hope you plan to attend all
of those upcoming Christmas festivities in Downtown Bowmanville with your family and friends.
So what about that Miracle in the Making?
In this edition of the Clarington Promoter ( page 6 ) you
will learn about one of Clarington’s real natural resources –
the bounty of Salmon and Trout that spawn in the numerous
creeks and streams that flow down from the Oak Ridges Morain
through our Rural and Urban communities into Lake Ontario.
These two fish species sustained our Aboriginal Peoples
for thousands of years and the Europeans who began settling in our valleys during the 1800’s.
THE NEW MASSEY
HOUSE RESTAURANT
More importantly, you will learn how we can help to ensure that these two magnificent species continue to survive
and grow in numbers.
You will learn of the tragedy that occurs each spring and
fall when instinct drives them to travel upstream to spawn
at their birthplace. And of the fate of many who are met by
a man-made obstacle which prevents the preproduction of
some of the largest fish, with the most desirable genes.
You will also learn how you can help a group of local volunteers convert an old and obsolete fish “ladder” into a less
restrictive fish “by-pass” which will help to sustain these species for generations to come.
I accepted an invitation to join this group of volunteers
because the benefits of the Valleys2000 Project reach well
beyond the actual project site. The annual run of Salmon
and Trout that occur each spring and fall add social and economic benefits to all of our Clarington Communities.
Our goal is to educate the public about the preventable
tragedy that occurs each spring and fall, and the fund raising
efforts that are now underway to complete the project.
I invite you to read page 6 to learn more about the Valleys2000 Fish By-pass Project. Then take a stroll along the
Valleys2000 walking trail and do whatever is within your
means to assist this volunteer group.
Our Municipality has developed an extensive network of
first class walking trails throughout our valleys and floodplains. Remember these are YOUR valleys and walking trails.
You and your children are the beneficiary of these beautiful
trails. So, let’s all work together to keep them healthy!

Savings Event
A Brief Primer on the World
Economic Crisis
The world economies
have continued to slow during the past few months
with world growth of only
around 2% expected for
the third quarter. In recent
months, the slowdown has
been steepest in the eurozone, although indicators
point to sluggish growth in
by Deborah Frame,
most advanced economies.
VP Investments
On a positive note, the
U.S. is expected to avoid anCougar Global
other technical recession in
investments LP
the coming quarters but its
www.cougarglobal.com
recovery looks set to remain
lackluster for years to come. Households have made some
progress in paying down debt but job creation is slow and
private investment growth is expected to be weak. The U.S.
faces a severe fiscal squeeze next year even if some parts of
the Obama jobs bill are eventually passed. Moreover, the U.S.
financial sector is also vulnerable to a shock from the eurozone policy stimulus.
There is little evidence that the financial crisis of 2008 has
caused any visible risk aversion among Canadian businesses
or households. Pricing in financial markets does show some
signs of risk aversion but considerably less so than in many
developed market countries and at this point it is not dramatically affecting economic activity. The boom in the housing market and credit growth in Canada suggest households
remain in a risk taking mode. It is not hard to see why, as the
economy has recouped essentially all the jobs lost in 2008 recession at the fastest pace in post World War II history.
Stocks buckled again in the third quarter of 2011 as fears
mounted of a global recession, with commodity prices and
the S&P/TSX hit especially hard. From April highs, the S&P
500 and the S&P/TSX are now down 17% and 19% respectively in home currencies to September 30th. In the January – September 30th, 2011 timeframe, declines are 10% and
13.5%. These declines verge on a bear market in size and duration. The Canadian dollar weakened relative to the U.S. as
investors liquidated U.S. dollar denominated assets. Once
again gold shone, earning a strong return of 16.3% in Canadian dollars. Canadian government and corporate bonds
also experienced strong returns of 5.7% and 3.7% as investors sold equities and moved into fixed income instruments.
As volatility in the markets persists, the focus remains on
the state of the near-term global macroeconomic environment and the impact that this has on the asset classes that
we model and use in our asset allocation.

ented Belleville costume
and float designer Gary
Marriott all helped make our
first parade a stunning success. Many locals helped
too. Some of the names
we find in the newspapers
include Ede Hilditch, Glen
Lander, Doug Rigg, W. David
Higgon, Mel Dale, Lloyd Ellis, Dick Firth, and Ede Cole.
With each passing year
the parade has gotten longer, the crowds bigger and
the volunteers more numerous. So many people give
freely of their time, expertise
and energy that a complete
list is not possible, but we
owe them all a hearty thank
you for keeping this tradition alive.
Was 1961 really the first
Santa Claus Parade in Bow-
manville? Forty years earlier
on November 21st 1921 a
large celebration was held to
commemorate the paving of
King Street. The event was
put on by the Women’s Hospital Auxiliary and featured
downtown decorations and
a sidewalk sale. The main
event though was a large
Calithumpian Parade that
featured bands, people in
costume, floats and ended
with…you guessed it…Santa Claus!
As Clarington grows so do
the number of our Christmas traditions.
A long
standing one is the Friends
of Clarington Museums Annual Craft and Bake Sale. It
is always held on the same
day as the Bowmanville
Santa Claus Parade, November 19th, from 9:30am to
1:00pm., at the Sarah Jane
Williams Heritage Centre, 62
Temperance Street in Bowmanville. The Newcastle
Santa Claus Parade has been
a tradition since 2004. This
year it is held on Sunday November 20th at 5:30pm. Let’s
not forget about the Clarington Farmer’s Christmas Parade of Lights. The “tractor
parade” is quite a site to see.
This year it is being held on
December 7th and starts at
6:00pm in Enniskillen and
reaches Tyrone by 7:00pm.
A social is held at the Tyrone
Community Centre following the parade. Finally, mark
your calendars for Dec. 15th
from 7:00 to 9:00 pm the
Clarington Concert Band
holds their Christmas Concert at the Clarington Older
Adult Centre, Beech Avenue,
Bowmanville. Tickets are
only $6.00.
Merry Christmas everyone!

A Collector’s Guide to Bowmanville
Santa Claus Parade Buttons
by Charles Taws
CLARINGTON MUSEUMS
AND ARCHIVES
This is a first attempt to list
and provide information on
these popular Bowmanville
collectibles. The buttons
started out as a way for the
parade committee to raise
funds for the Parade, but
they have become sought
after Bowmanville collector’s items. Information, at
this point is scanty but I am
sure there are people still out
there that can provide more
details. Please call Charles

1961. Eight years later, in
1969, the first Parade Buttons appeared. The Canadian Statesman reported
that 5,000 large, colourful
lapel buttons that read, “I
am a Booster of the Santa
Claus Parade in Bowmanville” were produced. They
were sold at 25 cents a piece
and provided badly needed
financial assistance to the
non-commercial
parade.
The buttons were available
before, during and after the
parade. In future years the
buttons were also available
ahead of time in local shops.

before? Without a date on
them this is a distinct possibility. No mention of buttons was found in the newspapers of 1971 to 1973. Were
any available during those
years? Right now we just
don’t know. The Museum
possesses only one undated
button. It reads, “I’m a Bowmanville Parade Booster” so
its text is slightly different
than the one reported for
1969. This could be an example of the 1970 button.
In 1974 the “Canadian
Statesman” reported,”…the
Parade Committee collected
over $1,000 in a recent button blitz when the town was
canvassed to help finance
expenses involved in bringing Santa to town. Buttons
This photo shows the earliest Parade Buttons in the Museum’s collection. The top undated one (top right) might
be from 1970. The known dated buttons begin in 1974 and there has been a button issued every year since then.
Whether they had parade buttons in 1971, 72, and 73 is not yet verified. We don’t have room to show every button but
this collection contains some special buttons. Look closely and you’ll see buttons for the 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th
and 40th Parade anniversaries as well as the button for 2008 when Bowmanville celebrated its 150th birthday. Also
included is the first dated button from 1974. The design of this button was used throughout the rest of the 1970’s.
will also be available on the
day of the Parade for anyone wishing to donate.” The
Museum possesses as complete a collection as anyone
and 1974 is the year of the
first dated buttons. A button
has been released every year
since then. In the early years
the same design, often a
Santa’s head, was used many
times but more recently
the design is changed every
year. Often the theme of the
Parade is written around the
edge of the button. In 1986
a special design featuring a
stylized reindeer was created for the Parade’s 25th anniversary. 10,000 were made
and there was even a lucky
button promotion.
Please see the pictures for
more details. In terms of rarity and collectability we can
only make generalizations.
In recent times as many as
10,000 were made each year,
but in the last few only about
8,000 were produced. Parade
volunteer Roger Leetooze explained that they reduced the
number as they had too many
left over from year to year. I
would think the earliest undated buttons are very scarce
today. Most were given to kids
and not saved. The ones from
the 70’s would be the next
scarcest as they’re the oldest,
although some have been for
sale on ebay for quite some
time. I hope this first attempt
will allow others to complete
their collections and create
greater awareness of these fun
Christmas collectibles.

Fish Story with a Difference
By William Humber (and a member of Valleys 2000)
campaign has been launched to rectify this situation.
This is a fish story with a difference – not about the
one that got away but those who can’t.
If you’ve ever been to the Goodyear dam on the Bowmanville Creek when the large salmon and rainbow
trout are trying to make their way upstream to spawn,
you’ll know what we’re talking about.
No one knows this better than Frank Lockhart, a
United Church minister by training and practice, but
seemingly a full-time volunteer recruit to the task of
bringing Bowmanville’s valley system, back to life.
Anyone returning to the town after being away for the
last ten years would marvel at the miracle of regeneration that has occurred in what was once an overgrown,
shabby remnant of past glory. Trails have been built,
brush has been cleared, stream banks have been
reinforced, over 1000 native trees have been planted, a
butterfly garden established, a six acre commemorative
forest dedicated, and an information kiosk put in place.
“This valley has a rich history,” Lockhart says, “Natives came here to fish for hundreds of years. The first
Europeans used the Bowmanville and Soper creeks as
the town’s limits because they were the natural boundaries. Once they were settled, water powered mills were
built like the Vanstone and the Cream of Barley, and
later the army used the Bowmanville creek system as a
training base.”
Today the Bowmanville valley attracts hikers, dog walkers, and anglers from around the province and beyond
(not to mention the odd beaver who sometimes puts a
tree in the stream’s path!)
“There are few things sadder, however, “Lockhart says,
“Than seeing, and smelling, the layers of dead salmon
and rainbow trout in the pond area just below the
Goodyear dam because they simply can’t make the
leap through the inadequate passage that’s there now.”
Led by a fundraising team chaired by Harold Hammond
and Al Strike, and supported by their organization, Valleys 2000 of which Lockhart is the leader, an ambitious
“We’re looking to raise upwards of $350,000 which is
estimated to be the cost of building a more gentle fish
passage at the dam with a number of resting pools for
fish, “ says Strike whose fundraising experience and
legal acumen reaches back to campaigns soliciting
funds for swimming pools and ice rinks.
The challenge as the members of Valleys 2000 know
only too well is that unlike active humans, the fish
can’t speak for themselves and so it’s left to the residents of the community to take action on their behalf.
“Surprisingly,” says Valleys 2000 member Gail Rickard,
“It won’t be just the anglers or those who walk the valley
who will benefit from this initiative. Salmon and rainbow trout are our proverbial ‘canaries in the coal mine’
regarding the health of our near shore and Great Lakes
waters. Challenges of invasive species and warming waters will require fish to be more resilient than ever,” she
says, “But too often it’s the healthy ones who die at the
dam without ever reaching the spawning grounds. This
weakens their overall generational adaptability.”
Now it’s the community’s turn to make a difference.
Today less than 1% of all the large fish make it above
the dam site. With the completion of this project
over 50% will reach their destination. The project will
Salmon caught in Bowmanville Creek.
include a viewing bridge from which bystanders will be
able to see the success of this project.
Federal and provincial agencies have lent their support, the Municipality of Clarington has provided
extraordinary labour and materials for reclaiming the
valley, and private donors from local industry and service clubs have come on board. More however needs
to be done.
No donation is too small but in the name of a healthy
lake and functioning riparian system (the latter being
the entire ecological region within which the fish and
stream exist) this campaign is now underway. Donors
of $5000 or more may add a corporate or business
insignia at the finished project. Supporters for a minimum contribution of $500 will be acknowledged, and
those kicking in $20 or more will be recognized for
their charitable donation.
Check out the website at www.Valleys2000.ca for further
details, fundraising opportunities and volunteer initiatives.
Complete the Donor Card and visit the Valleys2000 office
located in the Veltri Complex to support the Fish By-Pass
Channel Campaign at 68 King Street East, Bowmanville or
call 905-261-7448 for more information.
One day the only large salmon and rainbow trout getting
caught will be those hooked by the angling community!

Bowmanville
Beginning to look
a lot like Christmas
Historic Downtown Bowmanville’s horse and buggy with costumed driver and passenger are a
regular entry in the Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade. This year’s parade on Saturday, November
19, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the event. The parade begins at 10:30 a.m.
Famous Dominion Organ and Piano Company Band
Many industries and towns had their own bands
in the old days. One of the best known was this
band made up of employees of the Dominion
Organ and Piano Company in Bowmanville. The
band was in its heyday in the 1880’s but lasted well
into the last century. It performed at all special

band members in the first row, later went
to Chicago where he started another band

festooned with white LED bulbs.

Village Card
And Gift Shoppe
In a season of giving, gift shops are especially magical places to browse or to buy.
Since August, The Village Card and Gift
Shoppe has been sharing space with In
Towne Gallery, at 7 King St. E. But, operating a leading gift shop has been a way of
life for proprietor Joan Kimball for more
than 15 years. A former dental office manager, she made the most of a unique opportunity to start a gift shop in Newcastle
Village and never looked back .
As a full-service salon and spa, Salon Amara pampers its clients with not
only hair styling, but also manicures, pedicures, massages and makeup. Their
services include the latest trends in fashion, such as airbrush makeup and
feather extensions to complete a new hairstyle. Clients also enjoy coffee, tea
and fresh baked goods in an atmosphere that is both inviting and elegant.
With 2,000 square feet of newly renovated space, the salon has the room to
specialize in bridal parties. There’s room for the bride, bridesmaids and friends
to relax and prepare for the bride’s big day. At the same time, the staff of eight
can also give individual service and attention.
With her building in Newcastle being demolished to make way for a new enterprise,
she has found a new opportunity at In
Towne Gallery.
Owners Danielle Lawson and Darcy Davis opened Salon Amara in March
of this year.
“We love being part
of the historical downtown,” says Danielle.
“We try to participate in
the special events.”
The name Amara
means “Paradise.” From
the moment clients
walk through the door,
Salon Amara wants
them to feel like they’ve
discovered a little bit of
paradise
in
Bowmanville’s
historic
downtown.

Open Mondays to Saturdays
Joan Kimball, of The Village Card and
Gift Shoppe, where Christmas selections
range from life-sized Santas to tiny tree
ornaments.
The store’s offerings include Hallmark
cards and other Hallmark products including keepsake ornaments, Gund Bears and
Steiff Bears. It is also home to art by Trisha
Romance, Patience Brewster and Jim Shore
as well as Yankee Candles, Lampe Berger
and Chamilia Jewellery. Village Card
and Gift Shoppe also stands out because
of the sense of fun and commitment to customers and the community Joan brings to
her business. She’ll open the shop early during holidays for shift workers. Community
organizations benefit from her fund-raising
draws and events. Re-opening in downtown Bowmanville is a return to Joan’s
roots in retail. She enjoys being back and so
do her customers.

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition!
The reality of the holidays
approaching is that giant
off-shore factories are kicking into high gear to provide
Canadians with billions of
dollars of cheaply produced
goods - merchandise that is
produced at the expense of
Canadian labor.
This year will be different,
if YOU make it different. This
year Canadians will give the
gift of genuine concern for
other Canadians. There is no
longer an excuse that, at gift
giving time, nothing can be
found that is produced by
Canadian hands.
It’s time to think outside
the box. Who says a gift
needs to fit in a shirt box,
wrapped in off-shore produced wrapping paper?
Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut.
How about gift certificates
from your local hair salon
or barber? A Gym membership? It’s appropriate for all
ages who are thinking about
some health improvement.
Who wouldn’t appreciate getting their car detailed?
Small, Canadian owned detail
shops and car washes would
love to sell you a gift certificate
or a book of gift certificates.
Perhaps you know a grateful gift receiver who would
like his driveway sealed, or
lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all
winter, or a few rounds at
the local golf course.
Look around, there are
countless owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift
certificates. And, if your intended isn’t the fancy eatery sort, what about a half
dozen breakfasts at the local

Remember, folks this isn’t
about battling big National
chains -- this is about supporting your home town Canadians with their financial
lives on the line to keep their
doors open.
How
many
people
couldn’t use an oil change
for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by
the working guy?
Thinking about a heartfelt
gift for mom? Mom would
LOVE the services of a local
cleaning lady for a day.
My computer could use a
tune-up, and I KNOW I can
find some young guy who is
struggling to get his repair
business up and running.
OK, you were looking for
something more personal.
Local crafts people spin their
own wool and knit them into
scarves. They make jewelry,
and pottery and beautiful
wooden boxes.
Musicians need love too,
so find a venue showcasing
local bands.
Christmas is about caring
about your family, friends
and neighbours. And, when
we care about other Canadians, we care about our communities, and the benefits
come back to us in ways we
couldn’t imagine.
THIS is the new Canadian
Christmas
Tradition…….
Pass it on!

Hello everyone. The weather is certainly calling for
those comfort foods which we all enjoy so much. The
beef dish I chose for this edition is one I used to make
many years ago when I had a small catering company
. It is a dish you can make the day before and it only improves overnight. The apple cheesecake is a favourite of
mine. I made the crust with gluten-free flour last week
and it was fine.

Hints to prepare pearl onions.
Before attempting to remove the skins from the pearl onions, soak them in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes. Using the
tip of a sharp knife, peel off the skins. Place the skinned onions in a small saucepan with cold water. Bring to a boil. Immediately remove them from the heat, drain and rinse with cold water and drain again.
