This issue of the Times will look at improvements to many areas: health, finance, musical instruments, computer data, eldercare and the home.

4 Spring Cleaning Continued from front cover

You may have you heard the expression, “cleanliness is next to godliness”, which originated from John Wesley’s 1778 sermon. Although this phrase sounds biblical, it is not! Nevertheless, the early residents of Islington seemed to cling to the notion that keeping a clean home was important. Carole Bennett, retired administrator of the Islington United Church tells us that if a congregation had a manse, it appointed a manse committee to ensure its care and upkeep for the congregation’s minister and family, a practice continues to this day.

In days gone by, there were usually men and women on the committee with the roles divided between them: men looking after the major repairs, supplying the heating, firewood, coal, etc., women focusing on the decorating and regular (usually interior) maintenance of the home. In 2010 when the BIA commissioned John Kuna to paint a mural on the site of an earlier manse at 4879 Dundas W., it was decided to take a “tongue- in-cheek” approach to the mural because there were instances where committee members could be quite intrusive in fulfilling their roles, deciding John Dillon Evan House, Methodist Manse, Islington Methodist Church - L to R - south side on the furnishings, the fabrics and colours, of Dundas - from 1910 postcard courtesy of Etobicoke Historical Society archives advising the minister’s wife on housekeeping, and so on. The Manse Committee mural depicts a group “protecting the church’s asset.”

When visitors tour the Islington murals, they get a good laugh at the idea that a committee would use a white glove test to inspect the cleanliness of someone’s home. This mural, which Kuna refers to as the cutaway, depicts everything that may have been inside the manse if the building’s east wall was cut to expose brick and all of the interior furnishings to scale and proportion.

Manses still exist in some United Church pastoral charges (congregations) and a manse committee is still required to ensure the comfort of the minister and her or his family. Manse committees are required to maintain an accurate record of the type of construction, state of repair, size and age of the manse. They should also have a record of the furnishings and equipment owned by the pastoral charge/congregation within the manse, if any.

Even today, manse committees of the United Church of Canada continue their role in caring for these residences.

When considering a kitchen renovation, particularly in older village homes where space is at a premium, many homeowners are opting for removal of the structural wall between the kitchen and the dining room to make better use of the main floor living area.

“The change is dramatic,” says Michael Lamarche, partner at Instyle Kitchens and Bathrooms (416-833-4343, www.ikb.ca). “Removing a wall transforms the main floor of the house from a tight and cramped area to a place where family and friends can gather and enjoy themselves in a more inviting, designed space,” he says.

Removing the dividing wall frees up space, making the living and dining room more functional. The wall down reno also allows more light to shine from room to room, making the open-concept area feel lighter and brighter.

Some customers are concerned with how a wall down renovation will affect the structural integrity of the home. Instyle takes care of everything from engineered permit drawings to cabinet styles and construction to a three- dimensional cabinet layout, giving the customer a bird’s eye view of what the project will look like at completion. The Instyle team has completed kitchen wall down renovations in more than 200 homes in the area.

To better understand how a wall down renovation will transform their home, new customers are encouraged to visit past customers who trusted Instyle with their renovation projects. New customers can talk to previous customers about the experience of taking on such a large renovation project and working with Instyle Kitchens and Baths.

As an added bonus, at the time of the kitchen renovation/wall down, many customers request that all of the existing hardwood flooring be removed. This way, Instyle can put down a new subfloor and new hardwood.

Instyle Kitchens and Bathrooms is located at 361 Jane Street. For more information on this or any type of project call 416-833-4343 or www.ikb. ca and request a no charge estimate and consultation. Please note showroom visits are by appointment only.

10 Join a Jane’s Walk or Lead Musical Spring Cleaning your Own on May 5 & 6 By Ed Lettner

Jane’s Walk, the annual festival of free, community-led walking tours Spring cleaning is on the minds of many people this time of year and for the inspired by urban planning pioneer and activist Jane Jacobs, returns to the musicians among us, spring is also a good time to focus on how to maintain Village of Islington on May 5th and 6th. Jane’s Walks celebrate the diverse and care for our instruments. communities and neighbourhoods of the GTA by encouraging people to people to tell stories about their communities, explore their cities, and To begin our look at musical spring cleaning, here are several tips that apply to connect with neighbours. most instruments. In Canada’s environment, instruments are subjected to extremes in temperature “Anyone can lead a walk because everyone is an expert in their own and humidity that can adversely affect tone, playability and soundness. To avoid neighbourhoods,” says Alia Scanlon, Jane’s Walk’s Executive Director. “Leading weather related issues, follow these tips: do not leave your instrument in a car, a walk is an opportunity to share and hear stories about the places and issues allow your instrument to warm up before playing when it is brought inside you care about.” To learn more about leading a Jane’s Walk, visit https://www. during the winter and store your instrument in a cool, dry place. facebook.com/groups/562940924066030/about/.

If your instrument requires repair, have it promptly done by a in 2004 and was initiated by the Village of Islington BIA. More information can be found about the project on the Village of Islington website: www.villageofislington.com qualified instrument technician. Now, let’s have a look at tips for specific types of instruments. Woodwind instruments including the saxophone, clarinet and flute, are affected by moisture trapped inside so it’s best to swab the interior after each use. It is also advisable to clean the mouthpiece after playing. To avoid damaging the instrument’s keys, never pick it up by its keys. Brass instruments such as the trumpet and trombone, like woodwind instruments, should be cleaned inside with a swab to remove saliva and the mouthpiece should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. It’s a good idea not to eat before playing brass and woodwind instruments. The exterior of string instruments such as violins, violas and cellos require special attention. Polish for string instruments should be regularly applied to help prevent the wood from drying out. Also, remember to loosen your bow after playing and avoid over-tightening the strings to help prevent string breakage. For guitarists, cleaning or dressing the fret board is important as dirt and oil from your hands can accumulate on the fret board and affect the strings. Soapy water and a soft brush are good to use for this purpose as well as a soft cloth to thoroughly dry the fret board after cleaning. Also, wipe down the neck of your guitar after you play to remove dirt and oil. You should regularly clean the metal parts of your guitar with a cleaning product made for this purpose. Lastly, always place your guitar in its case or on a stand rather than lean it against the wall or amplifier when you are not playing. Pianos and keyboards don’t need as much attention as some other instruments however it is important to protect the keys by covering them when not in use. A soft, dry cloth should be used to remove dust. Never place drinks on the instrument. Regular tuning of pianos is also important. So, with a musical spring cleaning and ongoing maintenance, your instrument, like your home, will provide you with many years of enjoyment.

After the memorable achievements in the 90s the team floundered, and failed to qualify for the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons. Then, as all Blue Jay fans know, in 2015 they won the AL East Division Series, although losing to the Kansas City Royals in six games, and the following year they again were East Division Series winners, although they eventually lost to the in five games.

Jerry was ahead of his time in recognizing expressions offensive to First Nations people, and in 1992 he quietly took a vow not to use nicknames such as Braves (Atlanta) and the Indians (Cleveland).

Jerry became a Canadian Citizen in 1994, and in 2000 he was inducted into the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame. His talents were not confined to baseball, as he was also a basketball coach at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute, and active in fund raising on behalf of the Special Olympics.

The Blue Jays first home game is always a special event, but this year on March 29, against the New York Yankees, there was something different - the absence of a familiar and much loved voice. Toronto thanks Jerry Howarth for his great contribution to the Jays. He will always be considered an honorary boy of summer.

12 Spring Cleaning: Hygiene for Health By Dr. Janet McKenzie, ND

Spring is a time when many people traditionally give their homes a thorough cleaning. Practicing good hygiene personally and in your home has several health benefits. Spring is a great time to make sure your hygiene practices are working for your benefit all year long. Handwashing is one of the top practices contributing to public health. It’s as high on the list as antibiotics and access to clean water and toilet facilities. Handwashing is so important that the World Health Organization ran a program to promote it last year. While SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands targets healthcare workers, who are prompted to use good handwashing practices as a measure to prevent antibiotic resistance, the message is relevant to everyone. Whereas the WHO focused their program on healthcare workers, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States focus their program on the public. In their section on Publications, Data and Statistics in the Clean Hands Save Lives program, over 60 pieces of research are cited referencing the health benefits of hand hygiene. No doubt you are aware of how to wash your hands thoroughly but here’s a quick review: • Wet your hands with running water. Turn off the tap and lather your hands with soap. • Make sure the lather reaches the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. • Sing or hum the Happy Birthday song twice. That’s about 20 seconds worth of scrubbing and that is how long it takes to effectively clean your hands. • Rinse thoroughly under running water and air dry or use a clean towel. Wash your hands before eating, after sneezing, coughing or using the toilet, after touching pets or handling garbage. When in doubt, wash! Hand sanitizers are not as effective, but fine to use when hand washing is not feasible. Make sure the hand sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol. Oral hygiene is the next item on our personal spring cleaning update. You know about the overall importance of good oral hygiene, but did you know about the connection between gum health and heart disease? In a dentistry journal article published last year entitled Oral Health Equals Total Health: A Brief Review, Dr. Adrian Yap states “Research has indicated that poor oral health may be associated with medical conditions such as heart disease, My proposed bill to ban door-to-door sales stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases.” has been adopted by the Ontario government.
