Arkona Remembrance Day Parade

I

A solemn service of remembrance followed the Arkona Remembrance Day processional on Saturday, November 7th. Local dignitaries from federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government, youth Cadets, Legion members as well as representatives from Arkona's Fire Department, Lions, Lioness and Masonic service clubs, were on hand to lay wreaths in memory and in tribute to those who have served and fallen. The service provided an opportunity for community members to show their appreciation and respect for the veterans who have served our country, as well as to those who continue to serve our communities and country in pursuit of peace. Adding to the solemnity of the occasion were the prayers, scripture readings and poems shared by local pastors and members of the public. The reading of names of fallen area veterans and a chance for reflection during a two-minute silence were also part of Saturday's proceedings.

STAGE !'OR CHANGE Nov 20, 6:30-10pm at Church of the Epiphany, Woodstock. Featuring: Abby Stewart, Broomsticks & Hammers, The Illusionist: Lucas Wilson- Canada's Only 3 Time Guinness World Record holding Illusionist! Art Exhibit. Free event! It will be an evening of music, art, food & celebration. Our mission is to create awareness around addiction. When we create awareness, we can find common ground. With common ground, we can create a community that is supportive. A supportive community can challenge stigma & work together to reduce it. When we start to challenge & reduce stigma, conversation begins. When we think & act alone we can feel powerless. Problems associated with substance use, gambling or an addiction may seem insurmountable. When we positively come together as a community to understand challenges & support those starting the journey of recovery, we start momentum for positive change. Change does feel better when we know we are supported. We all can help by not perpetuating the myths about addictions. Support & awareness are key. Thank you to every­one in our communities - it is possible to come together and start to make change. For more information on how to submit your artwork please contact Stacey Smith at 519-673-3242 ext 247.

Our stained glass group will also have a display of their wonderful work. There will be something for everyone on your list! This year we are offering tables for rent at $20 for an 8' table.

A WASTE REDUCTION ACT When the Ministry of the Environment proposed a Waste Reduction Act which his assistant deputy calls "transformative", many in Ontario cheered. Not all, mind you. While the act suggests significant reduc­tions in the production of garbage, vast increases to recovery & recy­cling of waste and a model of producer pay, some parts of the indus­trial, commercial & institutional sector disapproved. Attending a ses­sion at the Ministry, it was obvious that Oxford County has set aggres­sive though feasible goals which match or exceed those of the province. It is also obvious that our local industrial & commercial sec­tor lead too: a zero waste policy at CAMI & the elimination of plastic bags by stores in downtown Ingersoll attest to that. Our local initiatives are in advance of the introduction of the idea that the polluter pays. In the Ontario consultation, the concept of polluter pays would mean the producer or importer of waste must be responsible for its recycling or disposal. The ministry document does seem to miss a point here: Reuse is obviously better than disposal or even recycling. Reduction of waste at source is of benefit to all parts of the economy, to our health & to the environment The zero sum diagram provided by the Ministry, however, ls flawed in its physics as energy is not factored into the equation at any point. That has been shared with the Ministry of the Environment who will, no doubt, be attentive to the cost of energy to the planet, the economy & to individuals. (Well, they'll be attentive in the best of all possible worlds). At the end of the meeting, the Ministry staff asked for the help of those in attendance with defining waste reduction goals. Doing so by product, date, tonnage, volume and percentage would all be useful. Expect such suggestions to come to them from dump-fighters in Oxford.

TRASHAPALOOZAHA, WASTE REDUCTION Following the success of the spring's collaboration with the Thamesford Lions, the OPAL Alliance partners were happy to have Sweaburg's Lions' Club's Ball Park Pavilion as a home & shelter for the giant swap meet Sept 19. TrashapaloozAHA events are a way to bring crowds together to meet & mingle, to share treasures and to watch a huge volume of unused but usable goods get carried off to new homes. In doing so, it gives concrete evidence of all Oxford County's goal of zero waste. It also, means that we show Toronto how they too might move to waste diversion, which in turn would mean no dump in Ingersoll, Beachville &/or Centreville. And, an event height­ens our awareness of the need to move away from waste. TrashapaloozAHA is a migratory education vehicle. In the spring, it was in Embro where people from all over Zorra Township & beyond came to see (and grab) the wonderful goods. Though the fall day started with a chill , we soon warmed up with unloading & loading as well as with the wonderful breakfast sandwiches provided by the Sweaburg Ball Club and volunteers. Later, a fine mist of rain was fol­lowed by sunshine, some say thanks to the Ingersoll District Nature Club. How to explain the deluge later? Hmmm. A spokesperson for the Oxford Coalition for Social Justice noted that the presence of year­round recycling & training programs offered by the Fusion Centre in Ingersoll, by GoodWill in o p

Lots of people said they had cleared out their garages. Nonetheless, at the end, all of the ALLIAN c~ goods & materials were at others' homes, des-tined for charities & off to recycling. One single garbage barrel remained. Not bad for the quantities in sight shortly after noon. Zero remains the goal.

OXFORD COUNTY MUSEUM SCHOOL We have had a busy time· at the schoolhouse in Centennial Park in Ingersoll as summer rolled into fall. One of the highlights at Harvest Fest continues to be The Town Criers Competition. This year it was even better with the unveiling of the beautiful gift murals by local artist, Dace Berg. We are very grateful for these depictions of early educa­tion in Oxford County. They greatly enhance the outside of our school­house & invite all to step inside and into the past. It was very exciting to be part of the first Hall Creek Festival of Creativity. We are pleased to add this unique community event to the list of those to which we contribute.
