PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

July 2016

President’s July Message:

July is here and it feels like summer has been here for several weeks already. Temperatures have been very summer like lately and the only complaint I have is we could use a little more rain for our lawns and gardens. Do you also notice how the older we get the faster time flies by? I am told it is because we are very busy with our families and friends and doing the things we always wanted to do but never had time to do when we were working. In short we are having FUN! The upcoming September Member’s Meeting and the AGM has a new location and time. PCYC is hosting a regatta on our meeting date and therefore we are unable to use their facilities. Mark your calendars: Date: September 8, 2016 starting at 10.30 am Location: Racquet Club (ORC) 884 Southdown Road which is just south of Lakeshore/Royal Windsor intersection. Lunch: starting at 12.30 (more details to come) See you all at our July meeting at PCYC (upstairs in the main dining room) John

Woodbine Races

There were 36 members and guests at Woodbine on June 10 for the annual lunch and races. This year we were in the Woodbine Room for buffet lunch and viewing of the track. The buffet was reported as excellent but not the same results for some of the bets. Apparently, John Bray was a lucky one in adding a few dollars to his retirement plan.

Blue Jays Game It was a very warm and sunny day as Probians made their way to Section 232 along the 3rd base line for the evening game with the Detroit Tigers. Good seats by the way. Blue Jays got ahead early but were behind for most of the game before two late runs to win by 5 to 4. Exciting game overall and the 46,000 fans went home smiling. One exception was our own Brian Hull who showed up wearing a new Tigers hat! Kent Newell

Club Activities The Walkers

June 16 Twelve attendees enjoyed perfect summer weather and a ~8km walk along the Culham trail in Streetsville. The trail follows the mighty Credit and had welcome shade along much of its length provided by a healthy forest. There were plenty of singing orioles in the trees. The walk started with a band practising in the parking lot. That got us underway. We ended with a picnic by the river.

June 2 Seventeen walkers turned out on a pleasant, sunny day. All had warm thoughts of Alf Chink, our walking leader for so many years. We walked from Saddington Park along to Rhododendron Gardens where we spent several minutes before returning to the car park. Some members left there while the rest walked on to Memorial Park and back. We finished with a picnic lunch by the lake. Phil Walker

Craft Beer Tasting

June 13th turned out to be a wonderful late- spring day, totally suitable for enjoying some cold beer, a hearty homemade lunch and some great fellowship in my backyard. There were a total of 23 Probians in attendance and all professed to having a wonderful time. The swimming pool was open, but a tad cool for anyone to be enticed in. The theme for the gathering was cottage country craft brews, and thanks go out to Don Hendry and David Litner for helping me to source the beers. Thanks also to David for helping to set up that morning and for making a Caesar salad. Although we had a larger variety of craft beers that were available to taste during lunch, the following were chosen for the official tasting, with the dark beers seeming to secure the majority of high scores:

Seq. Description Rank out of 100 1 .35&118 Cream Ale- made by Boshkung Brewing Co. in Carnarvon. 69.3 Described as a bright and refreshing golden coloured ale, with aromas of cereal malts, floral hops and a light fruitiness and a subdued bitterness. 2 Ruff Draft Ale- made by Muskoka Brewery. Described as a tropical blonde 67.8 ale, crisp and refreshing with notes of pineapple from the hops. 3 Gananoque Naughty Otter- also the name of the brewery, I believe. 74.4 Described as a lager deep gold in colour with a crisp hoppy taste (24 IBUs) and fuller finish 4 Dark Lager- by Side Launch Brewery in Collingwood. Described as a 79.1 Munich style, bottom fermented dark lager, with a malty character and a long complex finish. 5 Dark Horse Lager- another one from Thornbury brewing Co. Described as 77.2 red-brown in colour with a thick tan coloured head (sounds like some of our members in their youth) and a rich palate. Uses dark Munich malts and German hops, delivering a complex yet bready taste, with a hint of chocolate. 6 Skinny Dippin’ Stout- made by Sawdust City Brewing in Gravenhurst. 78.0 Decribed as a full flavoured, velvety smooth oatmeal stout, having a dark colour with flavours of chocolate and roasted nuts. 7 Coffee Porter- from Haliburton Highlands Brewing. Described as a robust 78.5 porter with custom-roasted, cold-infused, double-filtered Honduran coffee. Joe Reid

Bike Club On June 13th, seventeen eager bicyclists trip on Friday, July 15th. I will try to make it set off from Waterford (located a ride that takes place a little closer to approximately half way between Simcoe home. and Brantford) to explore one of the many rail trails that are to be found in this area. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful, but unfortunately some problems were encountered that cut our trip short. All turned out well in the end, and we gathered after the trip at a local pub to rehash the events of that morning. On the way back to Mississauga, your esteemed President forced the occupants of his car to stop at the local ice cream store, and some other Probians also stopped to see what he was up to. Mark your calendars for our next Joseph Reid

Mal Peet was a very good writer (he is now deceased) and captures vividly the actions of the Nazi SS occupiers, including their ruthless strategies: to starve the Dutch people in 1944, to eliminate Jews and the mentally ill, and to track down and kill the Dutch resistance forces. He also brings out the day-to-day risks and fears of the resistance agents. The sophisticated methods, tools and tactics of both the resistance and the SS are detailed and accurate.

Doug Gilpin Supper Club B & C

Supper Club B and C dined together at the Trattoria Timone Ristorante Italiano. Fourteen members were in attendance. We all agreed that the food and ambiance were excellent. Conversation flowed easily as everyone discussed plans for summer activities. Jack Doney

Supper Club D We met at the Canyon Creek Restaurant on June 28, the day of the house explosion in Mississauga. Our next gathering will be in September. The host was Gil and Frances Clay.

This included the Carter's, Good choice Alan. Spoules', Jones, Fisher's and Pawson's. My wife and I were initially somewhat dubious about the venue when we heard the name "Goodfellas Wood Oven Pizza". First thoughts were Pizza joint, however; it turned out to be a great place with a varied Italian style menu including pizza, pasta, calamari, lamb shanks and even rabbit which is not normally too readily available. The room provided was quite cosy but a bit Len Carter

Supper Club L

Our June dinner meeting was held at the Thai Signature restaurant was enjoyed with Eric and Brenda, Bruce and Ester and myself and Lea. The smaller group allowed for easy conversation and that together with the great menu provided for a very pleasant evening. Everything went well until the dinner bills were presented and I noticed that Bruce's beer was on my bill and then Ester noticed that she was being billed for my main course. This was sorted out and we all agreed that everyone was busy during the summer so we would meet again in September. Bill Halliwell

Wine Tasting Group 1

This month our theme was the CHARDONNAY grape. It is the world's most planted white wine grape. The variety is very adaptable to different climates and can grow in hot sunny regions, such as Spain and Central Valley, CA, as well as cool areas such as Burgundy, France and New Zealand. While the grape is very adaptable, the highest rated wines generally come from regions that have slightly cooler conditions. The top Chardonnays regions in the world include France, where Chardonnay originated in Burgundy, California, where there is more Chardonnay planted than any country in the world, followed by Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, Canada, and other minor players. There are three distinct styles of Chardonnay wines, namely Creamy Oaked, Citrusy Unoaked and Sparkling Blanc de Blancs. Our group tasted three of each the Oaked and Unoaked wines. Our group's consensus was that there was little difference between the oaked and unoaked wines. One observation was that the wines may have been over chilled. As the wines warmed up, the characteristics of each group came more to the forefront. Overall, the comparative Special thanks to Kathy and Alan Lytle who graciously provided their home to host this event.

Wine Tasting Group 5 May and June report May Report

All but one member of the High 5 Wine Group were out of town and around the world, so we decided to have the very first International Probus Wine Tasting. Following are the individual member’s reports.

France - While staying at a grand, 17th- best tannins and good concentration, this century chateau at the edge of Bourron- wine was partially aged in vats and in oak Marlotte village in France, David Stubbert barrels to bring fruity notes but also sampled a 2010 French Bordeaux from a complexity and finesse in mouth. With a little 10 hector estate Chateau Haut- beautiful nose of red and black fruits, this Plaisance. Traditionally vinified with a long wine has delicate aromas. David and his maceration to promote the extraction of the entourage gave this an overall rating of 8.5.

Canada- While in the faraway land of Oakville, John Mark tasted several glasses of Tintern Ridge Red, 2013. Little is known about this wine but John claims it was drinkable, at least until he fell down. His first research on this wine indicates it is made at Vineland Estate from leftover grapes from both Ontario and New York State vineyards. Guzzlin Johnny only recommends this wine if it is under $10.00.

Apple Core July 2016 Page 13 of 19 U.S.- Gary Jenkins and Brian Ducket are pictured here with their sherpas before heading up Mt. Denali (formerly Mt McKinley) in Alaska. They were sharing a bottle of Denali Mountain Reserve, which they rated as an 8. When they mixed it with the beer it was a 9.

Viet Nam & U.S - Joe Reid found the wine too expensive in Vietnam, especially the best-known Vang Dalat which, according to Joe” was Two Buck Chuck for both quality and price”. So he had a few local ice-cold Huda beers with his old friend the laughing Buddha. Then he travelled to North Carolina, which has a growing number of wineries but, Joe being Joe, said, "I tend to buy the cheap stuff at Trader Joe's.

Besides, I like their name."

Apple Core July 2016 Page 14 of 19 Italy part 1- It was a perfect day in Piedmont, Italy. Not due to any weather conditions, but because the Ascheri Giacomo winery was being visited by Canada’s own celebrated oenophile, Ken Foxcroft. Finally the vintners would get insight on how to make great wine from a great wine expert who wrote the book, I Liked the Wine So Much I bought The Company, By Ken Foxcroft, $149.99. (Available from Amazon) Ken tasted a 2013 Ascheri Barolo. Aged for 2 years in the barrel and one year in the bottle. This special full bodied and firm, dry wine had a medium-garnet colour; dried cherry fruit aromas with light tar and leather notes; dried fruit flavours with hints of walnut, leather and floral notes; medium-bodied with a firm finish. He rated it an 8.

best rated wines is from a winery a few kilometres north of Verona in San Pietro in Cariano. So he bought some Valpolicella Ripasso and had his friends rate it against other local wines. The defining character of all quality Valpolicella is its fragrant, tangy cherry aroma, a quality that is carried through into the ripasso wines. It was the best of the many brands consumed and the Italy part 2- While attending the Mensa members were smart enough to International Mensa Conference in Verona give it an average rating of 8.295731. (the first annual hats only nudist event), Brian Hull Brian Hull realized that one of our Probus

June Report To say the setting at the Mark’s was surreal would be an understatement. The string quartet playing John’s favourite Led Zeppelin tunes amongst the rhubarb and peonies. The belly dancer’s grand entrance through the clematis blossom covered arbor, then continued dancing to and fro amongst the vast variety of fauna. They spontaneously giggled and jiggled their way towards the seven of us, showered all with lotus petals then disappeared into the woods only to be followed by an unnamed fellow Probian whom has not been seen since. Meanwhile, back under the gazebo, John Mark, known in wine circles as The Smiling Sommelier, donning his best Bermuda shirt featuring (appropriately) cockatoos, served oysters, salmon rolls and other delicacies. And when the mood moved us, we even drank a variety of Canadian and foreign wines. But don’t let that picture fool you. Out of frame on the left was a fountain and statue of John’s large pet fish named Fred who was, as if frozen in time, in his best leaping pose while continuously spouting homemade wine for drop in guest’s consumption. Now you know why

Apple Core July 2016 Page 15 of 19 the Mark’s annual back yard bash starts in May and never stops until the snow falls. On the right was the Mark's private grow-op, camouflaged as “The Potting Shed”, nestled amongst the rhubarb, peonies, garlic and a thousand other exotic plants and fancy garden ornaments to distract the attention from the strange sweet scent in the garden coming from that blue shed. When questioned, John insisted that the shed was used only for vinicultural research. David Litner, who never believes anyone until he’s on his tenth glass of wine (or beer), immediately challenged John and headed off to The Potting Shed to investigate. He later reappeared insisting he was Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest, winemaking, ritual madness and fertility. In other words, only his name had changed. Everything was going swimmingly until the host, (totally ignoring the fact that Brian Hull had just returned from a MENSA convention, with a full tan (see previous Group 5 report), decided to turn the tasting into an I.Q. test. “I have paraprosdokians for each of you to complete”, he said, to which a collective, “Whaa?” was heard.

Little did we know that John was trying out new material for his next Yuk Yuk's appearance. “Behind every great man... is a woman rolling her eyes." Gary Jenkins left. “Ever stop to think... and forget to start again?" Bob Kidd left. “He who laughs last... thinks slowest." Joe Reid left. "Artificial intelligence is... no match for natural stupidity." That’s when I left. As far as we know, John and Dionysus are still there drinking… with Fred.
