new drainage for storms. I’m grateful for the strong relationships built with partners at all levels of government and the results they continue to deliver for London. Throughout our city, we’re unveiling great new park enhancements in our neighbourhoods, from Murray Park to Hastings, White Oaks and many more. The best part is that, along with improvements like new swings and play equipment, basketball nets and courts, pathways, and benches, we’re celebrating the occasion with community parties at each location. There are still several more to announce, so keep checking my social media and the city’s to join an event near you and see how we’re developing where we live and play. Along with our continuing downtown revitalization plan and the announcement of our new emergency services campus, there’s no summer downtime at City Hall, and that’s how we like it.
Hey London! I hope everyone has been having a great summer and enjoying the beautiful sunshine, whether you’re gardening at one of our public plots, taking in the fanta- stic events downtown and across our community, or trying to stay cool at one of the city’s pools and splash pads. Amid all this summer fun, our city continues to work hard on exciting projects and supporting those events, and I’m happy to share some of the latest: We recently celebrated the completion of the Adelaide Underpass, one of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of London, to meet the needs of our growing city and get Londoners where they need to go faster, safer and easier. It’s an example of how we’re investing in the everyday lives of Londoners, with the underpass helping us all say goodbye to train delays and get to work, school pickup and appointments faster. Sunningdale Road will be getting a facelift thanks to an $18 million boost from the province. Along with promising opportunities for housing, we’ll be expanding the roadway from two to four lanes, adding new sidewalks, lighting and cycling lanes, and installing

Local Athlete Competes in Germany Jane Holman grew up watching her mother, Christine, who was a member of the Rowbust Dragon Boat Team of Breast Cancer Survivors since she was 10 years old, and immediately wanted to “do what mom does”. After a few family and friends open paddle nights, she knew she was hooked. Jane then started paddling for an adult team called the Pendragons at 14 years old. She showed signs of being a talented paddler, and discussions started regarding her potentially trying out for the National team for the World Championships, with her local coaches, Cheryl Mclachlan, and Geoff Johnston. The World Championships occur every other year at a different venue around the world. At 14, Jane knew she wanted to put in the work to try out for the under-18 National team. A two- year regimen of practices three times a week, training camps in Montreal, cardio training, and multiple fit tests resulted in a spot on the National U18 team representing Canada in the World championships in Brandenburg, Germany this past July. To say that Jane was excited to travel to Europe at 17 years old was an understatement, and her father was honoured to accompany her on this journey. John (her Dad) said that Jane was “floating through the airport” anticipating this opportunity with a beaming smile and glowing excitement. After a 14-hour travel day and a total of 30 hours staying awake, the gruelling training commenced. The team had four practice days to get to know each other, as athletes were from all over Canada. The team was stationed in Potsdam, Germany, which is about 45 minutes south of Berlin. A one-hour bus ride to the venue for five days of practices, early morning workouts, and runs as a team before the competition began.
world silver medalist. Jane’s father John, who also had never been to Europe, said it was one of the true highlights of his life to travel with Jane and watch her work so hard to be able to compete, and ultimately thrive on the world stage, and create memories and stories to span generations in our family.
Jane and her coaches.

Jane raced in approximately twenty races within those eight events with both teams and earned two gold medals and five silver medals. A beautiful outdoor closing ceremony and party on the grounds of a castle on the last day before travelling home early the next morning. Jane slept for almost the entirety of the 8-hour flight home using her dad as a pillow. Her mother, Christine, and younger sister Mae surprised Jane with a decorated house to celebrate her return as a 2-event world champion and a 5-event The competition itself lasted eight days. Jane was a part of the U18 women’s standard boat, which consisted of twenty paddlers, a steer person, and a drummer. She was also on the U18 mixed standard boat, which consisted of the top ten male and top ten female paddlers in the country.

History of Lady Beck Public School The roots of Lady Beck Public School trace back to 1870 when it began as a one-room schoolhouse known as SS #23 in London Township. Located on Gore Road just south of Hale Street, it served the communities of East London and Pottersburg. As the area’s population grew, a new school was constructed on Hale Street with expansions added in 1892 to accommodate increasing enrollment. Further growth in 1908 prompted additional construction, and in that same year, Lady Beck herself donated a steel flagpole to the school.
secured for the School Board by Sir Adam Beck himself, it was thought fitting that it be re-named “Lady Beck Public School”. By 1975, nearly five decades after opening, the school faced closure due to declining enrollment in East London. At that time, the school had 300 students. The Lady Beck Home and School Association formed a petition opposing the closure, collecting nearly 700 signatures. The petition was successful in persuading the Board; however, by 1979, the Board voted to close the school, shifting students to three other schools in the east end. That June, a farewell festival and reunion were held at the school to honour the school’s legacy. The mood around the school’s closure was nostalgic rather than sad, with music, cheerleaders and a marching band bringing entertainment to the crowd. As the festivities drew to a close, hundreds of balloons were released into the air, marking the end of an era. Years later, the building was purchased by the French School Board and now operates as Académie De La Tamise. Student dancers, Lady Beck 1954. Photo courtesy Western Archives.

Eventually, the existing school on Hale Street became too small to serve its expanding student population, and plans were drawn for a new, modern facility at the corner of Highbury Avenue and Dundas Street. Built of brick and Queenston limestone, construction began on February 13, 1930 and was completed by October of that same year. Classes officially began on November 3, 1930. The school was impressive at the time, the building contained eleven standard classrooms, one kindergarten room, admini- strative offices, a nurse’s room, a dental clinic and a large auditorium. The design included provisions for future expansion, which included 12 additional rooms. The cost of the building at the time, excluding equipment, totalled $152,000. This cost sparked controversy among City Council members, some of whom deemed the auditorium overly extravagant and criticized the ornamental cut stone fence at the front of the school. The location of the school allowed for an extensive outdoor space, providing the largest playing field of any of the public schools in the city. As the new school was located on the same grounds as the Sir Adam Beck Collegiate Institute, a property that was
Lilian (Ottaway) Beck (1878-1921), became Lady Beck in 1914, when her husband, Adam Beck, was knighted for his efforts in establishing Ontario Hydro as a publicly-owned electrical system. The Becks had supported various charities, including the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium (later renamed the Beck Memorial Sanatorium). Lady Beck Public School in London is named in her honour.

McCulloch’s – The Origin Story What originally opened as a dance-wear shop became the go- to location for various costume and party needs in London and 63 years later, if you need things for a theatre production or a dance performance, maybe a giant mascot or even a balloon arch, McCulloch’s is a great place to find it. It’s even fun to just walk around the store and imagine all the fun things you can plan for or dress up as.
on to study balloon artistry. Since then, McCulloch’s and their trained staff continue to provide incredible decorations for all sorts of events. McCulloch’s has been hit hard during the chaos of road construction over the past year, not to mention roadwork that was done only a few years back. Some of the construction has made it almost impossible to access the store. Like the other businesses, they are hopeful that once the work is completed, the passers-by will once again show interest in all that Dundas East has to offer. As they prepare for the upcoming seasons of dance lesson demands, school shows and Halloween to say the least, the McCullochs family takes great pride in the unique enterprise they have created in Old East Village. Left column: Dance instructor Jean Campbell with dancers, and Dorothy’s sister Darlene with friends at the Moosejaw location.. Right column: Dorothy and Jack.
To advertise here, please contact Marty@villagerpublications.com Later in the 90s the store was approached by a high school prom committee asking if McCulloch’s could provide balloons and decorations for their special night. Though they normally provided balloons more suitable for clown professionals, Rose (Dorothy and Jack’s daughter-in-law) took the challenge. This experience brought things to a whole new level as she went With the aid of their son Doug and other family members, the company branched out of the city, opening locations in Toronto, Barrie, Burlington and even as far as Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The company continued to expand its merchandise with their son Don’s interest in novelty items. This grew into the greater costume and party supply store that so many Londoners are familiar with today. Now located at 1140 Dundas, McCulloch’s has been bringing people to London East since it opened at its original location at 1195 Dundas St. Dorothy McCulloch, now a 101-year-old retired dance teacher, seeing the demand for dance-wear, sourced out, supplied and even created pieces by hand for various performers all over the city. The need grew so much that after six months, she was unable to handle the demand. Her carpenter husband, Jack, chose to put down his hammer and learn to sew. Jack also directed a Sweet Adeline chorus to national championships, which regularly needed costumes for their performances. This, along with Jack’s own performing bar- bershop quartet would regularly need outfits, which launched their costume rental department. Square dancing became quite popular as well, and the need for the right dance attire spurred them to start manufacturing outfits, crinolines and more.

Routine by Mathew Hoy Amidst life’s turmoil, it’s great to have at least one steadfast routine activity to ground you. My trip to the Western Fair Farmer’s Market every weekend is my capstone event. At around 10:30 am, I pack up the trolley with a menagerie of reusable containers and a thermal pouch for my weekly indulgence (I’ll get into this later). With phone in my pocket, cash for the cookie lady (she only takes cash), PPE mask in case I’m feeling off, and headphones playing a familiar playlist or the most recent episode of a D&D let’s play series, I’m off. When I cross Dundas Street and enter the parking lot, I look for non-local license plates. I like to imagine that on their grand adventure, someone has woven a delicious tale of snacks and delights at the Market and convinced them they simply mustn’t miss them, like a kind of critical port of call on the great Canadian cross-country road trip. As I enter the main doors, I’m always met with two things: the sound of industrial-sized fans sounding like they’re threatening to take off and carry the building with it, and one of the Market’s many buskers belting out Tragically Hip or Tom Petty ballads. I always save my change so I can toss a coin to one or two of them before I leave. Inside, I bee-line straight ahead and turn a sharp right, weaving between bluegrass buskers and small families sampling wares like the amazing pies from Umkulu Kitchen. As I pull up at my first destination, Bifana Boys, I’m greeted by a “Hi Mathew!” from the friendly staff. We continue chit chatting as I get out my thermal bag and order a specialty sandwich and two Lime Rickey Pop Shoppes (one for lunch now, and one for a mid-week treat). I place the order and ask that they be made with extra love. The staff laughs, feigning resentment at the very idea they wouldn’t be made with love and tell me it’ll be about 10 minutes. I’m on to my next stop. For some reason, I always think I can hear the citrus shrimp at the Out of the Deep fish counter calling to me like some kind of Ratatouille/Little Mermaid seafood and song mashup. When I do stop, I always get the 12-piece deal and ask for “extra sauce” if I’m taking the last shrimp from the cooler - it tastes even better with the extra flavour from the leavings.
I round the horn and head straight to Canada Comfort Foods (or as my kids call her, the Cookie Lady). I pull out two containers and ask for “six butts and three smartie cookies”. I should explain if you’re a stranger who hears me ordering butts at the counter someday. The first time I took home heart-shaped brownies, my kids saw them upside-down and thought they were butts, and now we refer to them as such. When I text to ask my family what they want from the market the kids always reply, “Butts”. Mimi and Sheik are next at Mimi’s West Indian Cuisine as my wife and daughter are enamoured with their doubles and samosas. We stop and catch up on the week, and when I leave, Sheik always says “Well, you take care” with the biggest smile on his face. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him without it. Along my lap around the north end of the building, I stop at the Artisan Bakery and ask if I can buy one or two loaves of bread

for someone else. They have a great “donate a loaf” program that helps people out who are struggling to make ends meet. If my shopping list doesn’t contain a lot of treats that week, I’ll always get a pain au chocolat. They’re nice heated up at home.
Double checking this week’s list to make sure I got everything, I exit the main doors (being sure to tip a busker) and begin the easy walk home through OEV, hearing the breeze flutter the leaves and watching kids drawing hopscotch on the sidewalk. My favourite hero rolls a critical hit on the dragon in my podcast, and all is well again in the realm. As I round the corner on my street, the market fades into memory, and I wonder if next week I’ll get dumplings from So Inviting or maybe some pepper steaks from Country Style Meat. There are so many options at the market that next week’s journey is sure to be another adventure. I end my market routine by unpacking the trolley and enjoying my lunch. When I go back into the kitchen to clean up 15 minutes later, four of the butts are already gone.
I then rummage for fresh produce at the many spots that can be found in and near the centre of the building. I try to spread my purchases out by buying Leamington tomatoes at one booth, fresh Ontario cherries at another, and peppers and mushrooms elsewhere. I like seeing all vendors getting business so I try to do my part to help them out. I then head for the elevators and ride it up to the Tiramisu Bake Shop, praying that their scones a) have not been devoured yet but those who know how good they are and b) are fresh out of the oven. As I walk up, it’s the one thing I scan the display for, ignoring everything else. I feel I should apologize to the people I bump into with my trolley due to my tunnel vision. With four fresh scones carefully bagged by the kind owner and her team and I’m back to the elevator for my sandwich downstairs. The ever-friendly staff at Bifana Boys see me coming, hand me my pouch, and thank me while I make another awful dad joke and grab my drinks out of the cooler. Like old friends, we say we’ll meet again next week, and I feel joy in knowing it’s true.
Make your weekend great! Farmers, Artisans and You.

Teddy Bears, Alzheimer’s and the Power of Story by Barb Botten For author Donna Costa, her latest book began as “a creative outlet” during one of the most challenging chapters of her life. After her father passed away, Donna’s mother—living with her dog in a condo—began showing signs of Alzheimer’s. Donna started spending more time there, often staying overnight in the spare room, surrounded by dozens of handmade teddy bears her mother had sewn over the years. “The teddies spoke to me,” Donna recalls. “They had stories to tell. I came to know each bear by name, learned their personalities, empathized with their cares and concerns and even heard their thoughts about Alzheimer’s and caregiving. I listened. They returned the favour. Hugs were free!” Over five years—two spent caring for her mother in the condo and three more after her mother moved in with Donna and her husband—Donna tracked the physical and mental changes brought on by Alzheimer’s. She wove together her experiences as a caregiver, excerpts from her mother’s journals and newspaper columns, and the imagined stories of the teddy bears. “As a way to talk about different aspects of Alzheimer’s, I gave several of the teddies Alzheimer’s. Somehow, that just makes it easier to discuss difficult topics,” she explains. For Donna, writing became a form of therapy. “It was a place where I could talk about how difficult it was being a caregiver, where I could grieve, or rant when I felt frustrated, incompetent or overwhelmed. It’s a story of losing and finding myself through Alzheimer’s caregiving.” While this work is deeply personal, it’s not Donna’s first foray into publishing. Her debut novel, Breathing With Trees , was young adult fiction. She also edited Transformation: Autobiography of Beverly Vollmer , and her poetry and fiction have appeared in Out of the Woods: Voices from the Forest City , an anthology produced by the London Writers Society. Currently, Donna is finishing a rom-com, When Harry Met Charlie , based on two teddy bear characters from her Alzheimer’s book. She’s also working on a historical fiction novel told from the perspective of a female homeopath in London, Ontario, during WWI and the Spanish flu—a story that weaves in her grandfather, who was conscripted in 1918. Donna can often be found at the Western Fair District—shop- ping at the Saturday market, cheering at her grandson’s hockey games at the Sports Centre or enjoying a night at the races and buffet at Top of the Fair. With September recognized as National Alzheimer’s Month, Donna encourages caregivers and those with loved ones living with Alzheimer’s to consider picking up her book. It is available through major online retailers, locally at Tuckey Home Hardware, or directly through her website at www.donnacosta.ca.

Dogs of OEV – Oodles of Doodles by Shelley Long
Old East Village is home to a lot of “doodles”. Doodles, other- wise known as poodle mixes, are created by crossing a poodle with another purebred or mixed-breed dog. The suffix “doodle” is added to any breed that is crossed with a poodle: Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever), Labradoodle (Labrador), Schnoodle (Schauzer), Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountain Dog), Whoodle (soft coated Wheaton Terrier), Aussiedoodle (Australian Shepherd) or a Sheepadoodle (Old English Sheepdog). Doodles come in all sizes and colours. Most have soft, curly hair and a cheerful personality. They are not recognized as an official dog breed, and there is no breed standard for any of the mixes.
The first official “doodle” appeared in the 1980s when a golden retriever was bred with a poodle in hopes of creating a gentle, smart dog. While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, the low-shedding coat of a poodle is more allergy-friendly. Many doodle dogs were initially bred in hopes of creating a hypoallergenic seeing-eye dog. When I asked some doodle owners about why they love them, the most common reasons are that doodles are friendly and social, high-energy and good family dogs. Because of their high energy level, they require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation, so if you get one, be prepared to add several walks and playdates to your schedule. They also require a lot of maintenance – brushing, combing and trips to the groomer. All things to consider if you are thinking of adding a doodle to your life.

Shop OEV and Make Weeknight Simple and Delicious! by Nicole Borland With school back in session and all of the other goings on in life, weeknight meals, let alone shopping for them, can be a challenge. Luckily, you have everything you need right here in OEV, and the following recipe simply couldn’t be easier. This taco skillet can be made out of a variety of ingredients and is a great way to use up leftovers - plus it comes together in less than 30 minutes! So, the next time you’re at The Market, peruse the many produce options like Turner’s or Common Ground, check out Metzger’s or Country Style Meats, and explore All ‘Bout Cheese for anything you need that you might not already have in the fridge or pantry.
Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef, chicken, beans, or veggie round 2 tomatoes, diced 1 white or yellow onion, diced 2 cups rice (leftover works great) ½ cup pickled jalapenos, chopped (optional) 2 tbs cumin (or to taste) 2 tbs chilli powder (or to taste) Salt to taste (if desired) 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 12 corn tortillas and/or a bag of sturdy tortilla chips Optional for topping: Cilantro, green onions, diced avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, salsa, refried beans. Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a cast iron skillet, sauté onions until translucent then add meat or beans and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat. Add rice, tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, spices, salt and stir to combine. Flatten the mixture into an even layer that covers the pan. Turn off the heat, add the shredded cheese topping and place into the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes and and with 2 minutes on broil for some nice charred spots. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onion and cilantro if using, and let stand for 5 minutes. Enjoy for dipping or place a nice scoop in a tortilla, add desired sauces and enjoy! It’s that simple.
Plus, this dish can easily be made vegetarian by swapping the meat (in this case, I had leftover chicken), for beans or veggie rounds, or vegan by leaving out the cheese (I’d recommend adding dollops of refried beans for creaminess in this case). The options really are endless here and all you need to add are tortillas or chips, plus any sauces or accoutrements you may want for a simple and stress-free weeknight meal!
