Hello Lambeth! Happy Holidays to Everyone in Lambeth!
And well, guess what? I was finally top winner at the Legion’s Euchre Tuesday, yeah for me! Plus, I won the door prize draw to boot, so someone upstairs was shining down on me that day! If you play euchre, you really need to come out, as we have so much fun. Where else can you go for entertainment for three hours plus get free snacks and refreshments for only 5 bucks! Now down to business. Our next issue will be a combined January/February one, which will come around the middle of January, so the deadline for booking ad space will be December 13th, and final creative copy deadline will be December 15th. So contact me as soon as you can if you want to be in this issue as space will be very limited. I’m hoping to feature Health Tips from the Experts in this issue, so don’t be surprised if I reach out to you for your expertise in the form of an article. If you need help with marketing, getting your advertising mes- sage out into the community, please contact me, and I’ll be happy to be of service. Without regular or new clients, we wouldn’t have a magazine, and that would be a shame, as so many people let us know how much they enjoy our publication. I promise to put my 40+ years in the marketing and advertising business experience to work for you and come up with the best customized, honest advertising program to suit YOUR business and budget. So, let’s work together and make it a win-win scenario for everyone. You’ll love the results!
Plus, happy celebrations to the Lambeth Villager : our staff, our wonderful readers, our valued clients, and me as we cele- brate our milestone 100th issue!
In March 2016, Barb Botten, Owner and Publisher of Villager Publications, launched the Lambeth Villager , bringing com- munity information right to your doorstep. Six years ago, I joined Villager Publications as Sales Manager and Editor of the Lambeth Villager , and I’ve been having a ball ever since!! I was going through the first issue that Barb did and discovered that we’ve had one client who has advertised with us every month, year after year, since the magazine’s inception. I chose to celebrate her business in our 100th issue, as it only seemed fitting – you’ll see her featured on page six. Our publication is obviously working very well for her, otherwise she wouldn’t have paid to be in it for all these years! I also want to thank all the advertisers, whether regular monthly ones or just one-offs for choosing to support and advertise in our publication for so many years. I also want to thank people like Drew Annable, Joanna Shields, James Shields and Randy Matthews who consistently have sent me up to date content on what’s happening within the social clubs and organizations within Lambeth. They have truly been a Godsend to me as I can’t possibly be everywhere , though I do my best.

Winter is here, and the celebrations of the season are about to begin! It’s that special time of year when we come together—checking out local Christmas bazaars, enjoying school concerts, or catching a play at the Grand. Maybe you’re taking a winter getaway up north, heading south for a bit of sunshine, or simply spending cozy weekends at the local rink or hitting the slopes at Boler Mountain. No matter where you find yourself, there’s a wonderful energy in the air as our community gears up for the holidays. I’d also love to encourage you to explore and support the many incredible businesses in our area. Treat yourself to a meal at one of our local restaurants, pick up a special gift from a neighbourhood shop, or warm up with a cozy coffee at your favourite spot. These small moments not only make the season brighter—they help strengthen the vibrant local economy that makes our community such a great place to live. As we look ahead, I want to wish you and your family Health, Happiness, and Peace this holiday season and throughout 2026. May your celebrations be filled with joy, connection, and moments that remind you of the value of community. You can always reach out to me anytime at ahopkins@london.ca or visit www.annahopkins.ca. Take care of one another, Anna

Lambeth Villager • December 2025 • Page 5
Celebrating our 100th issue with a client who has been with us monthly for the entire time: Fur Paws Only – owned by Kristen Berry I first met Kristen when I joined the Lambeth Villager team six years ago. At that time, Kristen had her arms and face buried in fur as she was hugging one of her furry clients…and we’ve been together ever since, not only dealing with her advertising but I also entrusted her with my beloved Lucy, the other female in my husband’s life. I could tell you stories about Kristen and my entanglements, but they would take up half this magazine. Let it just suffice to say that whenever I’ve needed her, Kristen has come to my aid, grooming and or boarding my fur babies, and they just love her. Kristen has been fabulous for my two babies, as well as fabulous to me as a loyal client who I found out is the ONLY original client from that very first magazine 10 years ago who has been with us every month since the start, so that proves her advertising is working for her. It seemed fitting to want to celebrate our 100th Anniversary Issue with her by telling her story. Kristen was born and raised in London. She played soccer and ringette growing up – ringette being the biggest part of her life, travelling all over Canada from Vancouver to Newfoundland and everywhere in between and winning GOLD at the Canada Winter Games in 1999. It was an experience she’s never forgotten. Kristen seemed destined to work with dogs from the moment she got her first pet, a Pomeranian named Mitzi. Kristen was also familiarized with the professional dog show world by her great uncle, who bred and showed English Cocker Spaniels. Let’s just say she was then hooked. In 2000, Kristen graduated with a certificate from a local grooming school and then went on to work at various boarding kennels, vet clinics, big box pet stores and also as an instructor teaching grooming technique. In 2001-2002, she decided to further her knowledge of animals by attending Sheridan College for their animal care program and spent three years borrowing her sister’s yellow lab, Riley to take to class. Kristen got a Boxer named Storm in 2006, who was shadowed her so much she had to take her to the salon every day. In 2008,
Celebrating Our 100th Anniversary Issue
when she got married, she insisted on taking her dogs on her and Edward’s honeymoon. In 2009 Kristen opened her own grooming salon in Lovely Lambeth. Her dad was retiring at the same time and wanted to help out...that was over 15 yrs ago, and he’s still helping, which she loves. Kristen and Edward have two children, a boy and a girl and both children grew up in the salon watching Grandpa shampooing dogs that they wanted to help or play with. Kristen was determined to never feel the loss and pain again after losing her furry friends to old age, but fast forward to 2019, and her children convinced her to adopt a little Chihuahua/Dachshund mix and named him Dino, who’s a spicy bean and chooses who he’s going to cuddle with and when. They don’t even know how old he is, so they celebrate his birthday on Halloween. Then, just before the world shut down in 2020, they also got Maple Bacon, a Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix. Through her grooming salon, Kristen is quite well known within the animal care world for donating an enormous amount of her time, expertise and supplies to many dog rescue and adoption care agencies by offering them free grooming services for the canines in their care. She continues to attend seminars and shows to learn and expand her grooming skills and knowledge, and in my humble opinion, she is one of the best I’ve ever come across in my 70 years of being a dog owner. Kristen has an affinity for animals, dogs, all sizes, in particular. I sometimes think she’s like me and likes dogs more than people for their loyalty and unconditional love. If you have a dog that you’d like to get groomed and know it will be treated with love and tender care, then you should contact Kristen at Fur Paws Only dog salon, and she will see about accommodating you. If you also need to board your dog with someone you can trust, call her for that too. She truly is one of a kind in her field.

Exciting Growth Just Minutes from Lambeth
FOREST EDGE COMMONS

Southold Animal Hospital
If you’ve been driving along Colonel Talbot Road lately, you’ve likely noticed just how much is changing in our corner of the city. Major construction work on Colonel Talbot Road wrapped up for the season, marking another big step forward for southwest London. Earlier in November, there was a short four-day full road closure near 3637 Colonel Talbot Road while crews completed sewer servicing for the York development. According to Taylor Martins, Senior Communications Specialist with the City of London, crews will be back in 2026 to finish the final layer of paving and any last touches from Diane Crescent to just south of the Colonel Talbot/Southdale roundabout. All this roadwork has been setting the stage for new growth, including an exciting new addition nearby — Forest Edge Commons, a mixed-use development from Westdell Development Corp. This project will bring a wide range of shopping and services to southwest London, something many Byron and Lambeth residents will appreciate having just a short drive away. “Westdell is Southwestern Ontario’s largest commercial developer, proudly based in London. After nearly 15 years navigating various municipal approvals, we’re thrilled to begin construction and bring new shopping options to residents of southwest London and nearby communities like Byron,” says Paul Kitson, Planner and Developer at Westdell Development Corp. “This project has faced many challenges over the years, but we’ve remained committed to building our community through

our live, work, play philosophy — with grocery-anchored retail, banks, convenience stores, and health-focused businesses that make everyday life more accessible.” Forest Edge Commons will feature more than 130,000 square feet of retail and residential space, with easy access to Highways 401 and 402, serving the growing southwest part of the city. Confirmed retailers include Bank of Montreal, Dollar Tree, and an international gourmet café, along with a pharmacy, yoga studio, dentist, nail salon, and animal hospital — creating a convenient one-stop destination for shopping, health, and everyday needs. For residents of Byron, Lambeth and the surrounding com- munities, this development means more choice and convenience close to home — and a sign of how quickly this part of London is continuing to grow.

Message from the Mayor by Mayor Josh Morgan mayor@london.ca 519-661-4920 Hello Lambeth neighbours,
As December rolls in, winter’s arrival is unmistakable, and since our last chat I’ve seen the trees stand bare and the mornings greet us with frost. It’s a shift for each of us, and a reminder we must all move together into the warmth of the holiday season.
winter walk through the village among the community. These moments weave Londoners together. Thank you for being what makes Lambeth special, with your care for neighbours, your community spirit, and your willingness to support each other. Warmest wishes for a December that’s filled with holiday cheer, good company and the joy of home. Mayor Josh Morgan
In Lambeth, the community continues to shine: local businesses are abuzz with holiday window decorations, and neighbourhood associations are supporting seniors and neighbours in need. At City Hall, we’re keeping tabs on the sidewalks, street lighting and snow-plow plans in Lambeth to make sure everyone stays safe and connected as we look forward to gathering. Now, as we leave November’s remembrance and move into December’s celebrations, I encourage everyone to support one another, whether it’s dropping by a local café, waving hello to new neighbours, joining the light-up event, or simply taking a

Dementia Could Happen to Anyone… Because Everyone Ages. The Facts how to get through the season in good form. Savour the flavours of the season – without overdoing it! Peter Semchism The rush of the winter holidays can make it challenging to stick to good nutritional habits. Many things can divert us from our best intentions. All sorts of social events, tempting treats, last-minute shopping excursions, travelling out of town... these holiday extras may interfere with our regular eating habits and derail a healthy diet. This season, try out these tips for healthful and happy holiday feasting. Pace yourself Holiday treats are often delicious – but not nutritious. At social events, try to pace yourself when faced with tempting goodies. Seek out healthier food choices, such as the fresh fruit or veggie tray. Allow yourself to partake of a couple of the “naughtier” holiday delicacies, but do so in moderation. Opt for a small portion, take your time, and really savour each bit of the richer, sweeter treats. The slower you eat, the fuller and more satisfied you will feel. ementia Could Happen to Anyone… ecause Everyone Ages. e Facts Peter Semchism

Page 12 Lambeth Villager • December 2025 Treatment of dementia may depend on the specific cause. Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease usually involves treating the declining memory and gradually worsening behavioural symptoms with a range of medications increasing irritability, anxiety, depression, confusion, and restlessness increasing communication and language difficulties (forgetting words or substituting incorrect words) changes in personality, behaviour, or mood decreasing ability to focus and pay attention inability to plan and carry out tasks that require multiple steps (e.g. pay - ing bills). To be diagnosed with dementia, the symptoms must be severe enough to affect a person’s independence and their ability to perform everyday activities. Symptoms of dementia can vary depending on the cause. For example, people with Lewy body dementia often have long-lasting visual hallu- cinations. Some forms of dementia also tend to affect people younger than others and progress faster. Treatment and Prevention Dementia is not a specific disease, but a general term that describes a gradual decline of mental ability that affects your intellectual and social skills to the point where daily life becomes difficult. Dementia can affect your memory, language skills and decision-making ability; impair your judgment and make you feel disoriented; and it may also affect your personality. Dementia can be caused by many diseases that affect the brain. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Others in- clude vascular, Lewy body, frontotemporal and mixed dementia. Types of dementia differ based on underlying causes and can affect specific symptoms and how it progresses. Symptoms and Complications Many of us often experience forgetfulness. We may forget where we put the car keys or repeat the same story to a friend or family member. These behaviours are usually caused by the information overload of our busy, stressful lives – it doesn’t mean that we’re developing dementia. As people age, they may experience memory changes such as slowing of information processing. This type of change is normal and doesn’t interfere with day-to-day functioning. By contrast, dementia is disabling and not a normal part of aging. Although dementia often presents itself differently from person to per- son, common symptoms include: gradual loss of memory of recent events and lack of ability to learn new things increasing tendency to repeat oneself, misplacing objects, becoming confused and lost in familiar places slow disintegration of judgment and reasoning abilities ementia is not a specific disease, but a general term that describes a adual decline of mental ability that affects your intellectual and social ills to the point where daily life becomes difficult.

Holiday parties are full of socializing, yummy treats, and often a bit more alcohol than many of us are used to. With all the social events and toasting to the New Year, some of us can lose track of how much alcohol we’ve consumed. Head into this holiday season with heightened alcohol awareness and beat the January resolution rush. While at parties, pace your intake of drinks. Wait an hour between drinks, and make sure you have something to eat so that you are not drinking on an empty stomach. Having food in your stomach will help slow the effects of alcohol intoxication. Alternate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. And watch out for that bowl of holiday punch, which may pack more punch than you’d expect. Women tend to be smaller than men and have a slightly slower metabolism. These factors can cause women to reach a higher blood alcohol concentration than men for the same number of drinks. Limit your drinks accordingly! Always use your best judgment and moderate those “glasses of good cheer.” Your body will thank you for it... and you might be able to check off one item from your list of resolutions.

Lambeth Villager Page 7 Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, which helps keep your bones and muscles healthy and strong. Some Canadians may not consume enough of this essential nutrient and it can be harder to get vitamin D from sun exposure during the late fall and winter. Your pharmacist can provide advice on whether a daily supplement may be a good option for you. We’re more than a place to pick up prescriptions—we’re your health partners. this winter. Rather than hibernating until spring, embrace the fun, festive, seasonal spirit and take part in some winter fitness. You could gather your family and friends and make winter fitness a group thing. Or you could head out into the snow with only yourself and a playful, adventurous attitude. Either way, find a place for fitness in your holiday schedule. Physical activity can help relieve stress and burn off some of those holiday indulgences. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, or even be particularly strenuous. Evidence shows that even low-intensity exercise has health benefits. Keep in mind that while physical activity offers a range of health rewards, everyone should proceed at their own pace. If you have been habitually physically inactive, start slowly and gradually add on daily to the amount of exercise you do. If you have health concerns, speak to your health professional about the level or type of activity that is right for you. Ask Your Pharmacist Q: I’m flying to a foreign country on vacation this winter. What is the best way to travel with my medications? A: If you’re travelling this holiday season and take prescription medication, start by making sure you take everything you’ll need while you’re away. Speak with your pharmacist ahead of time to get your refills ready and to check if you need to have any vaccinations before you go. It’s helpful to carry a list of your medications (full drug names and doses) with you in case of emergency. If you take any medications or have medical devices that require special handling or refrigeration, ask your pharmacist to recommend the best options for safe carrying and storage. It’s recommended that you keep your medications in your carry-on bag in their original, labelled containers, just in case your luggage is delayed or goes missing. Health Tip
There is no treatment that can “cure” Alzheimer’s disease, nor are there medication that can halt or reverse the brain damage caused by it. How- ever, there are medications that can relieve symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. Medications such as donepezil*, riv- astigmine, and galantamine may be used to slow down memory loss. Prevention of stroke is important for vascular dementia. If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), or have had a stroke, you should seek continued treatment for these conditions to prevent future strokes. The key to caring for and helping people with dementia is to focus on the many activities the person can still do safely. Encourage a person with dementia to continue daily routines and maintain social relationships as much as possible. Help them maintain a healthy lifestyle through exer- cise, proper nutrition, and fluid intake. Special diets and supplements are generally unnecessary. If you are caring for someone with dementia, the following may be help- ful: reminders: Provide written lists of things to do including times, places, and phone numbers to help the person complete the task. structure and stability: Minimize undue noise and disturbances to re- duce anxiety. establish routines: Daily and bedtime routines can reduce disorientation and anxiety. speaking slowly and calmly: Present one thought or instruction at a time. information card: Reduce the risk of wandering and getting lost by pro- viding a pocket card with the person’s name, address, and phone num- ber. safety: Make your home environment as safe as possible by keeping furniture in the same place, removing clutter, installing locks on medi- cine cabinets, and setting the water heater at a low temperature to avoid scalding. driving: Don’t allow someone with dementia to drive a vehicle. Drive them or arrange for rides wherever they need to go. Caring for someone with dementia can be difficult. It requires under - standing, patience, and compassion. Joining an Alzheimer’s disease caregiver’s support group in your community may be helpful. Be prepared for the eventuality that your loved one’s condition will dete- riorate over time and additional full-time personal care may be needed. In some situations, placement in a nursing home is in the best interests of the individual and their family. Peter Semchism is a Pharmacist at Greenhills Pharmacy in Lambeth.

Joe and Ellie continued to run the day-to-day business, and as Joe noted in 1975, “The Dwarfs” was doing more business than ever before. This was despite a long line of new restaurants opening in the area. It was a fun place to eat for families, and prices were still reasonable. A group of ladies from a local senior citizens’ residence came regularly for lunch for many years and were always welcomed at the door by Ellie and her aging poodle, Cosmos. Holidays, especially the Christmas season, were very popular for dining and celebrating at “the Dwarfs”. AlvegoRoot Theatre Trivia Night Manor Park Memorial Hall, 11 Briscoe Street For ticket information and to learn more about AlvegoRoot’s 2024 season, visit www.alvegoroottheatre.com “Let’s go out for dinner” or “Let’s have a party” from a Lambeth resident, any time from the 1950s through to 2007, and the answer would be sure to be “I’ll make reservations at the Seven Dwarfs, just down the road.” In 1946, Joe and Ellie Raymond opened a small roadside restaurant on an acre lot on Highway 2, just east of Wonderland Road, then known as Airport Road. With the help of Ted Blaney, a Lambeth artist, they designed and built onto the original structure. Their vision was the conception of Walt Disney’s The Seven Dwarfs depicted on the walls. Eventually, Ted sold out to the Raymonds and relocated to Disneyland, California, to work under Walt Disney. The new Seven Dwarfs included a dining room, a tavern, and a nightclub starting in 1950. Jazz was alive and well through the ‘60s and beyond. Visiting celebrities often travelled up to Canada to perform. As there was never a colour barrier between musicians, Nat King Cole, Johnny Cash, Della Reese, and the Glen Miller Band were among the many performers of the day who played here. And you thought Lambeth was a sleepy little village.

Joe and Ellie owned the restaurant until 1975, when it was sold to Gus and John Liabotus. They ran it until mounting debts forced them to sell to John Panoson in 2004. For many Lambeth residents, it was the end of an era when it finally closed in 2007 after a fire destroyed the kitchen area. By 2015, Hully Gully owned the property and requested a demolition of the building to advance renovations to their business next door.
