Ten Frighteningly Cool Halloween Gadgets
Remember the good old days when Halloween meant trick-or-treating and bobbing for apples? Well, technology has made All Hallow's Eve a whole lot scarier. From advanced video displays to motion-sensing devices, these Halloween-themed gadgets will turn your home into a truly terrifying house of horrors. Here's a list of some cool tech (some pricey, some not) that will help you make things go bump in the night this year.
- 1
Axe Killer Video Screen
If you REALLY want to scare trick-or-treaters, this effect may be your best bet. Affix this video panel to your front door to create the illusion that an actual axe-wielding murderer is trying to break through. It's a great way to finally get those annoying teens from next door to leave you alone.
- 2
Animatronic Chainsaw Skeleton
Making your own costume can be one of the best parts of Halloween. So why not build your own decorations too? This animatronic 'Chainsaw Massacre Skeleton' display is easy to construct and a great way to add an intense sense of fear and dread to your front lawn.
- 3
Vortex Tunnel
Got $8,000 lying around? Then you can make your home look like it leads to another dimension with the Vortex Tunnel display. This spooky, fully automated portal actually rotates so trick-or-treaters will feel like they're entering the 'Twilight Zone.' Additional effects can be made extra special (and extra queasy) with 3D glasses.
- 4
Creature Crate
What have you got trapped in that box? The Creature Crate violently shakes to life, alerting passersby to the horror of what might soon be breaking out.
- 5
Garden Zombie
This isn't exactly a gadget, but it's pretty cool, so who cares? SkyMall commissioned artist Alan Dickinson to create a lifelike (deadlike?) zombie for your garden, and he succeeded in scaring the Dickens out of everyone. For $100 plus shipping, you can be sure nobody will be snipping your lavender anytime soon.
- 6
Actual Hand Case for iPhone
Need someone to lend you a (pardon the pun) hand to hold your iPhone? These creepy cases have a replica hand stuck to the back that fits right into your own when holding your phone. It's adorably freakish.
- 7
Animated Snake Wreath
This spooky wreath will slither to life when someone approaches your door. You might want to consider keeping it up all year to keep pesky salespeople away.
- 8
Misting Witch's Cauldron
Something for the Halloween traditionalists out there! A bargain at $35, this SkyMall special mixes plain old water and LED lights to make a wicked tabletop display. No dry ice needed!
- 9
Exploding Fuse Box
Make Halloween explosive with this fuse box prop that shakes and jolts to life. Your party guests will think there's a spirit haunting the electrical circuits of your house.
- 10
DIY Halloween Blinking Eyes
These eerie eyes will scare anyone into thinking there is some bloodthirsty creature waiting in the dark preparing to pounce.

Valentine's Special: Just a Pinch of Chili Chocolate Mousse
If you look back at the history of chocolate, it was certainly not enjoyed as the sweet treat we think of today. The Maya and Aztecs cultures both used the cacao beans, but they were most often fermented and made into a very bitter drink, often flavored with chili peppers.
So, unless you're dating a 3,000-year-old Mayan Goddess, I suggest something more along the lines of this modern chocolate mousse recipe, which still pays homage to the ancient spicy flavoring. You will be pleasantly surprised by how just a tiny dash of the hot, bittersweet spice brings out the full complexity of the chocolate.
Of course, I know that many of you just won't be able to pull the trigger. It just seems wrong to your culinary sensibilities, and that's all right. It's not really that big a deal. But, in one last attempt to convince you to give it a try, I will tell you that the Aztecs considered this chocolate chili concoction to be quite a powerful aphrodisiac.
If spicy peppers aren't your thing, you can alter this recipe in more conventional ways with things like orange zest, or extracts like almond, coffee, and mint. One last tip, there's no need to sweeten the whipped cream garnish. The contrast of the plain, rich cream and the sweet, decadent chocolate underneath is a magical mix you don't want to mess with. Enjoy!
3.5 oz dark chocolate bar, chopped or broken in small pieces (you can get away with
1 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water, divided (2 tbsp for chocolate, 2 tbsp for egg mixture)
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/8 tsp ground chipotle
very tiny pinch of salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
extra cream and chocolate shavings to garnish, optional

Why does your chocolate have white bits in it?

I don't really do deserts. I'm just posting to say I'll be buying from Amazon through your site from now on. I just LOVE it.
- February 11, 2009 at 6:12 PM
- Chef John said...
white bits? the whipped cream?
- February 11, 2009 at 6:35 PM
At 28 second mark, there're only water, butter and chocolate in the bowl; no cream. All those white dandruff-like bits are puzzling.
- February 11, 2009 at 9:14 PM
I like chocolate with chili. Its an extra almost smokeyness bite to it. Will definitely try this recipe for your mousse. Was that egg mix warmed over the water bath like a sabayon?
- February 11, 2009 at 9:41 PM
where can i get a ramican and how much did you get yours for?
probobly spelled it wrong,please correct me!
please email me back with the reply

any store that sell kitchen stuff will have them or go to amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/179-0849894-8203509?ie=UTF8&keywords=ramekins&index=blended
- February 11, 2009 at 10:24 PM
- Chef John said...
kind of a sabayon, but really just to cook the egg a bit vs. trying to get a lot of volume.
- February 11, 2009 at 10:25 PM

that's just chocolate crumbs reflecting the bright light from the window.

A new video 3 days in a row, you've been busy Chef! Good work. All 3 of these are on my to-do-list.
- February 12, 2009 at 9:02 AM
You are the best John!! Thank you so much!
- February 13, 2009 at 2:17 AM
Yup, must try this tonight.
Thanks Chef! - February 13, 2009 at 3:41 AM
- Unknown said...
how much more interesting (ie better) is this mousse with the chipotle as opposed to using cayenne? does the smoke in the chipotle bring more to the experience?
- February 13, 2009 at 10:45 AM
- ghanima said...
Mmm...spicy chocolate, one of my all-time favourite, unexpected food pairings. I never make chili without adding cocoa powder to the mix.
- February 13, 2009 at 11:26 AM
- Chef John said...
one' hotter, one's smokier - you would have to taste and tell me. i don't do "better" - i do "different"
- February 13, 2009 at 11:33 AM
- Diane said...
Chocolate.... and water? -twitch-
- February 13, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Chef John, I am so glad I was able to find your video blog through tastespotting. I am now a great fan of your concept. BTW...no egg whites in your chocolate mousse???
John - February 13, 2009 at 8:43 PM
- Chef John said...
thanks! no, i like the denser texture
- February 13, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Thanks chef. Inspired as always! Made your pollo en crema and mexican rice last weekend, and that had to be some of the best leftovers ever all mixed together. Wife loved it too.
Had one issue though that I will also have with this recipe tonight -- no chipotle chili powder at the local store. Substituted cayenne with last week's meal, but I imagine the difference will be more pronounced with the mousse. I know, I know - I should experiment and let you know how it turns out. But being valentines day, any advice for the best substitution (e.g., cayenne, regular chili power, other) from the more seasoned palates out there will be much appreciated. Thanks! - February 14, 2009 at 2:22 PM
- Chef John said...
just a pinch of cayenne will work nicely! enjoy.
- February 14, 2009 at 2:56 PM
- Maja said...
the recipe is amazing! Love the chili in it!

The white specs someone mentioning, I'm not seeing them, maybe a reflection of the light? Anyway- I wish I had followed this recipe, I did it my own way ,turned out like chocolate grits. Next time I'll do it Chef John's way.
- February 18, 2009 at 12:04 AM
- Ei said...
I just made chocolate mousse from a different instruction guide. I wish I had found this one. My chocolate mousse turned out like chocolate grits. Yuck.
- February 18, 2009 at 12:05 AM
- Charlemange said...
I had this tonight. I used cayenne powder. It was great with fresh raspberries.
- February 18, 2009 at 12:11 AM
I certainly will attempt this lovely creation at my house this weekend. I will, however, need to at least double the servings. Does this recipe double or triple in direct proportions, or are there ratios involved?
And I do Thank You, sir, for giving these wonderful recipes away to us AND for the time, effort, prep, and cleanup you put into the videos. - February 24, 2009 at 12:06 AM
- Chef John said...
yes, u can double no prob. thanks!
- February 24, 2009 at 12:27 AM
Gosh, that was easy. ONce many many years ago I made a chocolate mousse. Somewhere in my brain I remembered it as being a production.
Guess the good news is that my culinary skills must have improved over the years, 'cuz this was a breeze and very very good.
I'll definitely do this again. - February 28, 2009 at 8:35 PM
- Clararar said...
While I was at work today I abruptly decided to make this dessert for a dinner party I had tonight - got home at about 5.20pm, whipped it up in about 10-15mins, chucked it in the freezer for an hour while the guests arrived, made the no-knead pizza for the main event (a real crowd pleaser as usual) and then put the mousse back in the fridge until we were ready to eat it. As far as I can tell, it was at a perfectly mousse-like texture, i.e. fully set, so... Basically if you don't get a chance to chill it overnight, you can still serve it using this freezer method. Thanks again for the great recipe!
- March 3, 2009 at 5:16 AM
Was wondering if you can use the creme fraiche from the recipe (with a bit of sugar added to it) instead of the whipped heavy cream? It seems like this could be a good use for it too. Not sure though.
- April 1, 2009 at 5:09 PM
- Chef John said...
may be too rich and/or sour. Doesn't sound great to me.
- April 1, 2009 at 6:39 PM
Thanks, Chef. I appreciate you takin the time.
- April 2, 2009 at 11:37 AM

Hi Chef!! I love chocolate mousse!!! I want to try this one but I already have Nestle's milk chocolate morsels can I use them instead of the dark chocolate?
Thank you for your recipes they are awesome!! - June 17, 2009 at 3:51 PM
- Chef John said...
thanks! This recipe is designed for dark chocolate which has a different make-up than milk. I've never tried it, so it may work, but not sure.

I'm a student studying to be a chef and watching your videos on my laptop in the kitchen has been one of the funnest things I've ever done.
You're so AWESOME and funny. - November 11, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Hi Chef John,
Q. why do you cook your egg yolks first before mixing them into the chocolate sauce?
I used another recipe and it called for adding the (room temp.) eggs directly to the chocolate mixture. Unfortunately it always becomes grainy.
Do you - December 21, 2009 at 12:00 AM
- Chef John said...
yolks cooked to thicken and also taste differently. you just cant overcook, or they get grainy
- December 21, 2009 at 12:12 AM
Hey Chef John, the recipe says 1 tablespoons of sugar but it looks like you put in more? When you say 1 tablespoons plural it sounds like you meant maybe be 2 tablespoons? it looks like you put in more than 1 tablespoon. I can't mess this up for Valentines day!

No it is one, that bowl is tiny and it looks like more. You can add a little more if you like it sweeter, it will not hurt the recipe. Do a test batch!
- January 6, 2010 at 6:42 PM
I tried this out a few hours ago, and just took a few bites.
It tastes amazing!
The only problem is im not entirely sure how many hours i'd have to wait. - January 13, 2010 at 7:48 PM
- Unknown said...
Dear chef John,
Could you be so kind as to show us how to make a chocolate mousse cake?
I tried making it using your chocolate mousse recipe ( i doubled the measurements). However when i tried to cut it, the whole cake collapsed and melted. - January 17, 2010 at 2:11 AM
- Chef John said...
unfortunately for the next couple months the only recipes I can do is the ones for the cookbook! Sorry!
- January 17, 2010 at 2:39 AM
hi.Can i use chili powder to substitute the chipotle? what do you mean by 1/2 cup plus 1 tblespoon of heavy whipping cream? is it 1/2 cup and add another 1 tbspoon of heavy whipping cream? Is there a different between heavy whipping cream and heavy cream?
Sorry if I troubled you.thank you.--fadhilah. - March 3, 2010 at 5:03 PM
- Chef John said...
no not the same. chipotle is spicy like cayenne. The extra cream is to whip for the topping
- March 3, 2010 at 5:05 PM
oh..So.I'll just have to skip the chipotle. thank you.--fadhilah
- March 4, 2010 at 2:57 PM
- Chef John said...
not sure about rum. if you put much it won't set. if you put too little won't taste like it. you'd have to experiment.
- March 12, 2010 at 6:48 PM
How many servings does this exact recipe make? If I double it, is there enough for 8 people? Thanks
- March 18, 2010 at 2:05 PM
- Chef John said...
yes, double will make 8
- March 19, 2010 at 8:20 PM
Hi Chef John, approximately what size are the ramekins? Is it alright to use a mixer to whip the cream? Also, is it possible to use light whipping cream to replace the heavy cream? If so, any idea how much of whipping cream I should use? Thank you!
- March 30, 2010 at 10:07 AM
- Chef John said...
there about 5 oz, yes, and not sure about the light cream.
- March 30, 2010 at 10:22 AM
Hi chef John,
I tried the mousse, tasted excellent used chilli as well, it wasnt airy. Woner why you haven used egg whites. how to make it airy and not stiff has baffled me. Any suggestions? - May 9, 2010 at 7:36 AM
hi chef john,
i made dis previously n failed...too much water i think but de tste is good though...tonight im making it again for tomorrow pot luck wif my best fren..but i found tat only can get 3 ramekins...n i can't fold nicely like wat u did...its a bit dry dis time...but hopefully it'll turn out great tomorrow...anyway 10s for ur recipe.. - June 26, 2010 at 1:40 PM
If I only have medium sized eggs, should I go for three or four egg yolks?
- September 17, 2010 at 12:28 PM
- shrimps said...
Hey Chef John,
I was wondering, wouldn't the chocolate end up seizing because of the water? I tried this one recipe before where I melted the chocolate with water and it ended up completely seizing on me :( Or does the butter stop the seizing?
Other than that, the mousse looks delicious! :) - November 1, 2010 at 9:30 PM
- Chef John said...
not sure to be honest, but I know it works! (as you can see ;-)
- November 1, 2010 at 9:47 PM
- shrimps said...
It does! :D
I tried making this yesterday; everyone loves it! Thanks for the recipe :) - November 5, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Chef,would you please explain the difference between your recipe and ones that call for whipped egg whites in terms of taste and texture.Yours looks richer and I like the fact that you cooked the yolks this way even pregnant women can enjoy this wonderful dessert.Thank you!
- November 28, 2010 at 12:01 AM
- Chef John said...
egg whites are used when you want a much lighter texture. Thanks!
- November 28, 2010 at 1:29 AM

Can you please give me a recipe for 6? thanks. :D

What a wonderful recipe. i've just finished making it for christmas eve dinner... and i got the silky-smooth look on the chocolate it's soooooooo amazing....
and thanks a lot for the folding technique.... althoug i was repeating CUT, FOLD AND TURN.... everytime hahaha
Thnks a lot Chef John - December 24, 2010 at 12:46 PM
- Taylor said...
not sure why, but i added a bit more butter to the chocolate, about a tablespoon more (so 2 tablespoons total) because it did not look like yours. After it all melted, it was too runny, it wasn't velvety.
- March 7, 2011 at 3:41 PM
Looks so goooood....I'm gonna try this one tonight! You are funny and amazing Chef! So glad that I found your blog!
- May 12, 2011 at 3:58 AM
- Ica said...
I just finished making this with my sister. The mousse is sitting in the fridge for tomorrow. My sister, who is 18 and very conscious about what she eats, has just licked both the spatula and the bowl clean. She loves it and now loves me a bit more too! Haha. Thanks, Chef. Your recipes inspire me to cook.
- July 21, 2011 at 7:31 AM
Hey Chef John, i've been making alot of your delicious chocolate valentines day desserts and other recipes. And i've wondered since im in europe, how much is "1 cup" i got it to match with 200ML. Love your videos and your voice :)
- Alexander 17
From Denmark - July 23, 2011 at 2:39 PM
- Chef John said...
It's actually 240ml not 200! 30ml = 1oz x 8 oz. btw, there are many metric converters online.
- July 23, 2011 at 2:55 PM
- Patricia said...
Hi, Chef! I just made this today. Sadly, the chocolate was too runny so I had add more whipped cream, I wonder what I did wrong? Thanks! :)
- December 19, 2011 at 9:39 AM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, no way to know!
- December 19, 2011 at 11:23 AM
Hi Chef John,
This was the first recipe I tried from your blog. It came out lovely and very rich and tasty and its already all finished :-(
Thanks for the recipe and the excellent instructional video.
P.S - I used the chilli because i'm not a wuss :-)
Next time I may add a dash of cinnamon and maybe some grated orange peel just before folding, just to mix it up! - January 31, 2012 at 7:12 AM
im making it right now for valentines day! so far so good! and as for the white bits someone said they saw in the chocolate mixture at 28 sec it looks like the salt "he forgot" or a little bit of sugar he maybe went to add to the chocolate and caught himself. :) im very excited!!!! thank you!
- February 14, 2012 at 2:21 AM
Whisking that whipping cream was insanely hard...and I used milk chocolate instead. I don't think it's going to come out very good. At the end my mixture was not very thick, it was still pretty runny. But here's hoping. Any tips on and easier way to whip the cream? And does milk chocolate create a different consistency than dark?
- February 14, 2012 at 5:16 AM

I've made this so many times! Just thought I'd take a photo of how I like to eat this masterpiece of a recipe!!! :)

Hi Chef John,
I am really interested in making this chocolate mousse, however is it possible to make this as a cake with a biscuit base?
Thanks :) - August 5, 2012 at 12:55 PM
- Chef John said...
Never done, but sure!
- August 5, 2012 at 1:29 PM
When you say dark chocolate bar do you mean bittersweet or unsweetened? If bittersweet, what percentage of cacao works best, for example 60% or 70% cacao, or some other percent? Also, is there a brand of chocolate bar that you like best?
- August 19, 2012 at 3:05 AM
- Chef John said...
yes, a 60% or 70% cacao is perfect.
- August 19, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Dear Chef,
I am such a big FAN!!! Even though I love my Chef and think he is great but i still keep following your blog, and following you on Youtube.
I work in the customer side of the biggest (maybe the best) Patisserie in Bahrain.
I'm making this recipe for my daughter's birthday party. If I remember right it was good for 4 servings only. I need to make it for 20pax. So I would like to ask you if I should make it in small portions one by one as your recipe or simply multiply the ingredients by 5 and make it once?
The birthday party is on 5th Oct hope to get an answer soon!
<3 - September 26, 2012 at 3:08 PM
- Chef John said...
You can just multiply! :) enjoy!
- September 26, 2012 at 7:31 PM
My eggs keep cooking instead of getting frothy :( I have the burner on low and the water isn't that hot either.
- October 1, 2012 at 12:43 PM
- Unknown said...
Hi chef,
Could i add two whole eggs wih the whites instead of just the yolks to make it fluffier or lighter? And its also partially because i suck at separating eggs. Thanks! - December 4, 2012 at 9:43 PM

Hi Chef John, is it possible to use white chocolate instead of dark chocolate? or should I use a dark chooclate with a lower cocoa percentage?
- September 25, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Hey Chef John. Thanks so much for the recipe! Chipotle chilli was incredible. It even converted my partner, who doesn't like mousse.
Quick question. When melting my chocolate in the double broiler, the first time it turned into a chunky dry mess. Not the creamy version you have on the video. My guess is I over mixed it. What do you think? Suggestions?
Dave - December 12, 2013 at 12:42 PM
- Chef John said...
Either you used a chocolate that doesn't melt, or you got some water in the chocolate! Or maybe too hot. Impossible for me to know for sure.
- December 12, 2013 at 1:39 PM
- Auria said...
How many servings does this recipe make please? I am going to make this tomorrow for a few people and wonder if I should double it or triple it?
Thank you - it looks amazing. And easy!
- February 13, 2014 at 10:37 PM
- Unknown said...
Just thought I would let the viewers know - I tried this recipe but used white chocolate instead of dark. Turned out amazing. The only changes I made were to omit the butter (the white chocolate was buttery enough) and I used less water because I made it the filling for chocolate cake. Outstanding.
- June 21, 2014 at 5:25 PM
I love you, Sir! You're honestly one of my food heroes and I absolutely adore your style of cooking. Not to mention your sing-song voice, lol!
Quick question! what if I want to use Gelatin in the mousse? when do I add it?
Oh! and I'm from Pakistan! Lots of love!! - August 17, 2014 at 5:18 AM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, not sure! I don't use it!
- August 17, 2014 at 11:58 AM
- BeachMom65 said...
Happy New Year Chef John,
My question is whether it is safe to add the powdered chilpotle chile powder when the chocolate is melted before it is whipped up. I usually add it at this stage but never did it with chocolate mousse. You're the pro.
Thanks! Making this tonight for tomorrow. Yes I should have asked earlier.

Saving enough for their children's education is a major financial concern for many parents. With the current cost of a four-year college education reaching six figures in some instances, your child's college education may cost more than you expect. This calculator is designed to help you estimate the cost of your child's education, based on the variables you input.
Keep in mind that the age of your child may influence how you invest and the potential return on your savings and investments.
These results show the total cost of four years of college for your child and the amount you would have to save year by year — or the lump sum amount you would need now — at the rates of return and inflation you specified. Be aware that the sooner you begin the more manageable the amount you need to save each year. Return to the input page and increase your child's age by one year to see the cost of waiting a year to begin your college funding plan.
Are you on target to meet your college savings goal? One of the factors that will determine if you reach your goal is whether the earnings on your college fund meet your expectations. This graph shows how much you'll accumulate if your college fund's earnings meet your expectations or fall below your expectations by 2 percent. You may be surprised by the effect of a mere 2 percent difference in your expected rate of return. Total accumulated if earnings fall below your expectations by 2 percent: $0.
The information provided is not specific investment advice, a guarantee of performance, or a recommendation. Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long-term investments. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve a higher degree of risk. For simplicity the effects of taxes, fees, and expenses are not considered in this illustration and would reduce the results shown if they were.

However, when they break down, the increasing cost of repair services is producing numerous repairmen who are do it yourselfers. There are many times when you can avoid bringing in outside help simply by learning some home repairs. Whenever you are troubleshooting a washer, you need to know that there may be a number of issues that may be causing the same problem. What needs to be done then is the elimination of as many of these issues as possible in order to isolate the source of the problem. After you have gotten an estimate on how much it will cost to get your Whirlpool Washer repaired, don't forget that the cost of replacing the washer also includes the aggravation and cost of removing the trash compactor and disposing of it properly, including draining and the proper disposal of any chemicals that may be environmentally dangerous. The basic repair of a typical washer can be accomplished by anyone, whether they have technical training or not, if they have the proper knowledge and tools. There are numerous online resources that are available to help a person identify and fix the problem, thanks to the Internet.

The determination of the cause of your washer's malfunction can be difficult. The resolutions to most basic Whirlpool Washer repair problems are the same for most manufacturers and models. Defective gas coils may keep a dryer from heating up; A bad cycling thermostat can cause overheating; A defective motor can result in a noisy machine, and; A blocked drain line can prevent the water from being pumped out of a washer; A bad lid switch can keep a washing machine from spinning, and if both occur at the same time, it is likely that the machine's pump pulley is frozen. In order to minimize washer repair you should conduct routine maintenance. You should also replace any torn or worn filters and clean any residue with liquid detergent and a soft brush. You should also set up a regular maintenance schedule for your washer which includes checking and replacing as necessary worn hoses and, in some models, cleaning the lint filter. Lint filters are located near the tub's topside or inside the agitator. Safety should be the primary focus of any Whirlpool Washer repair. This includes taking the most obvious precautions, including being sure to unplug the appliance from the power source prior to beginning any repair work or troubleshooting. All circuit breaker or fuse box connections to the washer should also be disconnected. Look out for sharp edges that can be found on some parts, and always keep pets and children away from appliances that have been disassembled. You should also check out the cost of new washers and the features they offer. If you like the model you currently own, you should try to find a new model with like features. Even if you're still not sure about whether you need to repair the washer you already own or to purchase a new one, you should ask your Dallas Appliance Repair technician what the most likely cause is and how much it will cost to repair. |

Food Addiction Treatment in Passaic, NJ
What is Food Addiction?
Food addiction is a real problem, just like addiction to substances. When talking about other addictions such as drugs and alcohol, remember that you can live without drugs and alcohol. The goal of substance abuse treatment—especially with drugs and alcohol—typically involves total abstention, which is an impossible goal in food addiction. Instead, food addiction treatment focuses on education and moderation so you can live a healthier life.
For individuals who struggle with food addiction, eating usually goes beyond sustenance and pleasure to become a compulsive and addictive behavior. While many people overindulge from time to time, a food addict usually struggles with managing food intake on a daily basis. Many food addicts have a strong desire to get healthy, but have difficulty controlling their urges.
Signs of Food Addiction
Food addiction affects people physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially. Many food addicts become preoccupied with food and often plan their lives around their eating preference. Food addicts also spend significant amounts of time thinking about or consuming food. In many cases, food addicts don't realize that they have a problem because their poor eating habits have become a normal part of life. The most common signs of food addiction include:
- Endless obsession with food
- Regularly overeating
- Constant snacking
- Eating at strange times
- Hiding eating habits
- Poor body image
- Feeling shame or guilt after eating
Causes and Types of Food Addiction
Like other addictive substances, food can trigger the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain, like dopamine. This chemical is related to pleasure, so when it's triggered by food, your brain begins to create a positive link between food and emotional wellbeing. Once people experience pleasure associated with increased dopamine transmission in the brain's reward pathway from eating certain foods, they quickly feel the need to eat again. There are several types of food addictions, each causing health complications that lead to increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes , and more.
The most common types of food addictions include:
- Binge eating disorder: Also known as compulsive overeating, this condition causes an individual to engage in frequent episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging.
- Bulimia nervosa: In this condition episodes of binge eating are followed by attempts to prevent weight gain through purging behaviors.
- Anorexia nervosa: This progressive disorder is characterized by a fear of gaining weight and a warped sense of body image.
- General food addiction: People who consume salty, sugary or fatty foods at an excessive rate who do not try to hide their addiction usually fall under this classification of food addiction.
Food Addiction Treatment
Food addiction is often treated in the same manner as any other addiction. Experts agree that an addicted brain works in the same way, regardless of what the person is addicted to. If you or someone you know is suffering with this condition, it's important to remember that addiction rarely resolves on its own. A food addiction is no exception—that's why early intervention and treatment is imperative. Treatment is designed to help reestablish a healthy relationship with food and allow you to return to a life of improved health.
Treatment usually consists of some combination of behavioral therapy, nutritional counseling , education and social support. If it is determined that the cause of your food addiction is the result of an emotional disorder such as anxiety or depression, psychological counseling and medication can often reduce food addiction.

William Hume Blake (1809 - 1872) was first professor of common and civil law at King's College and was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1847. His son, the Honourable Edward Blake (1833-1912) was the second Premier of Ontario, 1871-1872, a Canadian Constitutional expert, and federal Liberal leader 1880-1887.
Following a Mission in 1911, the Anglican congregation of St Thomas determined to establish a maternity home for unwed mothers. They purchased the Blake property near St. Clair and Bathurst Streets in 1912. The "Humewood House" opened on April 23, 1912.
The Blake house burnt down and was replaced by the present building, which opened February 12, 1925. Partnered with the Board of Education the Agency is one of the oldest and most respected organizations in the country, helping pregnant and parenting young women, ages 13-21.
The tree is well known and loved in the community. It was on a list of significant trees compiled by the arborists in the former City of York. It is clearly visible from St. Clair Avenue. It also dominates the well-treed park site despite the fact that it is separated from the park by the width of the roadway.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This was a young tree when the French established their second trading fort, Fort Toronto in 1749 at the foot of the Portage on which the tree stands - the fort from which Toronto takes its name.
It was part of the forest canopy by 1764 when Alexander Henry passed by on June 19th with a group of Mississaugas on his way to Fort Niagara from Mackinac, where he had been taken prisoner the previous year in the Pontiac wars.
It was a mature tree when Benjamin Frobisher passed by, recommending in a 1784 report, that the Northwest Company use this as the preferred route to the West.
It witnessed the passage of Lieutenant Governor Simcoe on Wednesday September 25th, 1793, on his way to Penetanguishene.
The feet of the War Party dispatched by General Brock in 1812 to join Tecumseh and capture Fort Mackinac trod over the roots of this tree.
Chief of the Mississaugas, Peter Jones passed by with his people, the Mississaugas of the New Credit, on their way to a meeting regarding their Treaty, with the Inspector General, Jacques Baby on his estate in 1828.
In the spring of 1997 this was one of a hundred and fifty oak trees along the Toronto Carrying Place, all 125 years old, which was proclaimed by Metropolitan Toronto as an ancient oak grove and named in honour of Tuhbanahneequay, daughter of Wabanosay, Chief of the Mississaugas at the time of the Toronto Purchase.
David Orsini, a local landscape architect, has been propagating acorns from this tree. The continuation of a local gene pool with a pedigree of more than three centuries is both remarkable and essential. It reflects the integrity of our natural heritage as a living entity.

Historical/Cultural Significance: The Nicholas Family's red oak is probably one of the largest red oaks in Ontario if not Canada.
The tree is part of an ancient oak savannah and is an indigenous species of the Humber River Watershed. It is a remnant oak whose acorns can be used to propagate quercus rubra.
It is a pre-settlement tree from before 1793, it is located in the immediate vicinity of the historic Toronto Carrying Place Trail. One family that owned the red oak, had family members, that have received in total, four Orders of Canada for their various contributions to our country.
In the Year 2010, this red oak is to be featured in "Toronto Tree Portraits" calendar.Photo courtesy of Mr. Glen Gauslin, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority - August 23, 2006.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This tree is a remnant of the original forest that once resided in this area. The tree has been a landmark rooted at the 18th hole at Cataraquai Golf and Country since its opening in 1917. In addition to this, the tree is a prominant figure on the organization's corporate logo and has been since 1933.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This Black Oak is amongst the earliest living examples of its species in Toronto. A remnant of the aboriginal forest and Black Oak Savannah, it is, with an estimated age of 200 - 250 years, one of the largest surviving Black Oaks.
It is within a hundred metres of the Toronto Carrying Place and is on the land acquired from the Mississaugas at the Gunshot Treaty agreement of 1787 for the militarily crucial Carrying Place lands.
It is located on the Estate of Jaques Baby, Inspector General of Upper Canada. He purchased the land in 1813, and it remained in his family until the Government of Canada purchased it c. 1909, for use as the New Garrison Common.
It was subsequently resold the following year to developer Robert Home Smith, who laid out the subdivision, building the impressive Humber Stone Entry Gates at Jane Street, with his own house at number one Baby Point Road (designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, Pt IV ) immediately inside the Gates.
Poet Raymond Souster (winner of the Governor General's Award for Poetry) has written poems about the Tree - one in 1968 and another in 1991.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This Eastern Cottonwood is very well-known locally. While it is not quite the largest Eastern Cottonwood in the area (probably second largest though) it is still quite an attraction. Unlike many large tree specimens, this tree is not growing in a park or along a roadside. This Cottonwood is located deep in the woods at Bakus Mill Heritage Park. The tree is quite the spectacle for any one wishing to go find it. A well laid out trail will take you to the tree. As you approach the tree it is easy to tell why it is so unique. Towering well over the canopy level, this 40 M tall, 6 M around giant dwarfs all other trees around it. It is likely 80-100+ years old, which is bordering ancient as far as Eastern Cottonwoods go. This pioneer tree has helped establish and has witnessed the developement of the forest that surrounds it.

Historical/Cultural Significance: The house behind the tree was built in 1895. Originally, it was a retirement cottage for the director of Chalmers Church. The church is located in the neighbourhood of the site. The home was named the Mansfield Cottage. It is estimated that the tree existed before the home was built. The tree is now a spectacular focal point in this Elora neighbourhood and is greatly valued by all residents and visitors.
This tree received the first Community Heritage Tree plaque to be presented in Centre Wellington Township through their local Treasured Community Heritage Tree Program. This tree has now been nominated in the Ontario Heritage Tree Program.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This sugar maple stands on a sand dune overlooking the eastern end of Lake Erie just west of the lakes confluence with the Niagara River. The tree overlooks a beach where the Neutral Indians are known to have camped and harvested chert with which they made stone tools. The tree is about a mile from Old Fort Erie and quite likely observed preparations of British and Hessian infantry to retake the fort from American forces during the War of 1812. The tree is a landmark to boaters and fishermen on the lake and holds together the sand dune on which it stands.

Historical/Cultural Significance: Coronation Park was created in 1934 when the seawall was built from Strachan Avenue to Bathurst Street. A commemorative planting for the park was organized, inspired by war veterans.
The planting occurred on May 12, 1937. It was believed to be the largest ceremonial planting in Canada at the time. To provide a central focus to the park, a Royal Oak tree was planted in tribute to King George VI and surrounded by a ring of silver maples, symbolizing the countries of the British Empire.
A grove of maple trees was planted in memory of the many Canadian troops who fought overseas, one of which is being recognized here as a Heritage Tree.
The significance of this waterfront park was further enhanced when the World War II 50th Anniversary Memorial was unveiled at Coronation Park on November 14, 1995. The memorial is dedicated to the many Canadians who served their country at home and abroad. It was designed by John McEwen and features two pair of bronze gates in the shape of a ship's prow. The openings and vistas formed by their north-south orientation provide entranceways which symbolize the departure of troops and their return home.Approximate Age: 130 years

Historical/Cultural Significance: Tree is in front of the Aurora Cultural Centre, also known as the Church Street School, opened in 1886. The building was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1981 and an Ontario Heritage Foundation plaque was erected at the site indicating this is one of the finest examples of a public school in the High Victorian manner. The school was reportedly attended by Lester Pearson who later won the Nobel Peace Prize, became Prime Minister of Canada and oversaw the introduction of the Maple Leaf Flag.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This White Elm was identified by Henry Kock from the University of Guelph - Fox Arboretum, as an excellent specimen. Long upper branches sweeping down to street level, which is reminiscent of how the old Elms grew prior to the introduction of Dutch Elm disease. The size and crown shape of this tree, indicate its resistance to the disease and should be noted as an ideal tree to collect seed from for future propogation.

Historical/Cultural Significance: Throughout this tree's 350 years, many changes have taken place to the land that it grows upon. For the last 35 years, it has been one of the focal points of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's maple syrup programs at Kortright Centre. This tree is known as "Grandpa Maple" and has been visited by approximately 1 million people.

Historical/Cultural Significance: Not only is this a SAR tree, and is of considerable size. Its location on the war of 1812 British Army encampment on the Thames River, gives it major historical significance. Early photos of this site, complete with tepees and barracks show the tree standing at approximately 30-40 feet. Tecumseh himself camped here for several days, before heading up the Thames River to be later killed only about 10 km from this site.

Historical/Cultural Significance: The Allviiew White Oak is significant in all four categories.
It is a distinguishable landmark marking the former border (before 1957) between Burlington and Aldershot; it is of unique age and size in Burlington; it is associated with the area's first landowning settler, Joseph Brant (1742 - 1807). Finally, it is believed to be a surveyor's benchmark for the Crown Grant of the 3450-acre parcel of land known at "Brant's Block", which for more than a century was the basis of subsequent development of Wellington Square and the Village of Burlington.
In 1797 the Crown signed a treaty with the Mississauga nation to acquire the same block of land, which was then granted to Brant. The western boundary ran 45º NW from what is now Allview Avenue near what is now North Shore Boulevard (then a trail) to a point just past the Niagara escarpment. That boundary formed part of an earlier survey of land to the west, previously purchased by the Crown.
It has long been believed that the White Oak was, or contained, the surveyor's bench mark. A former resident of 552 Allview Avenue recalls that circa 1940 an arborist and work crew from Ottawa spent two or three days at work on the preservation of the great oak, cutting limbs and patching it with tar. They explained that the iron stake in or at this tree was a marker that lined up with a V-notch in the escarpment (which then could still be seen) to define a boundary of great historical significance. The north-west corner of Brants Block was used in the survey by Samuel Wilmot for the Mississauga Purchase in 1806 and the New Survey by Reuben Sherwood in 1817, north to the Derry Road and beyond. It is now the Flamborough - Halton Township Line, north of the escarpment.
The Burlington Historical Society Archives includes copies of maps from 1797 to the early 20th century, showing the significance of "Brant's Block" to the early and continuing development of Burlington.
The Burlington Horticultural Society, in association with the City of Burlington and the Royal Botanical Gardens, began a project in 1975 to establish Burlington's Honour Roll of Trees, which included the Allview Oak and a note about its significance for Brant's Block. The City of Burlington's Inventory of Heritage Resources includes the Allview Oak. The Honour Roll and the Inventory do not, however, include legal protection measures. The City's urban forestry department has worked to protect and preserve the tree.Approximate Age: 200 years

Historical/Cultural Significance: This tree is likely greater than 200 years of age and is part of a remnant Carolinian Woodlot. The tree exists on a sand ridge once used by native indians as a travel cooridor all along Lake Erie. The tree itself is the largest in this woodlot but was once part of a group of large American Beech trees of which it is the only surviving member.

Historical/Cultural Significance: John and Mary moved to Lot 9 on Concession 1. Mary was sent a pear from Boston, MA and subsequently planted it's seeds on this lot. The tree grew successfully and was admired by many. In 1980 the tree was 165 years old and placed on the Ontario Honour Roll of Trees; but within the 1980's the tree became dangerous and was chopped down. However, scions were grafted from the original and the Oshawa Community Museum managed to acquire two of these scions. They were planted in the Museum's gardens in 2001 and continue to thrive there today.

Historical/Cultural Significance: The large Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) at 35 Cross Street in Dundas was the overall winner of the Heritage Tree Hunt held by the Dundas Valley Tree Keepers in 2009. Not only was it one of the few trees to receive multiple nominations by members of the public, it was also chosen as Best Tree Overall by a panel of four expert judges.
This tree is a fine example of a Carolinian species that is symbolic of the Deciduous Forest Region of Eastern North America. It is part of the most northern population of Tulip Trees in North America. According to local botanist Paul O'Hara, the Tulip Tree at 35 Cross is likely an original, rather than a planted tree. Based on examination of the tree.
The tree is in excellent health, according to criteria developed by the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto. It flowers reliably. Tulip Tree seedlings appear regularly in surrounding gardens and many of these seedlings have found homes across the town of Dundas.
In addition to its importance to residents of the neighbourhood, the tree is something of a celebrity. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Japanese officials would come from time to time to measure the height and girth of the tree. Apparently there was another Tulip Tree in Japan that was close in measurement to the Cross Street tree ... it was important to them to see which tree was the largest. Buses full of tourists visiting Canada and the nearby Royal Botanical Gardens have been known to stop for a look at the tree.Approximate Age: 250 years

Historical/Cultural Significance: This special oak tree is located on a vista of land overlooking the Humber River, a Canadian Heritage River that had its' tenth anniversary in 2009. This indigenous species of the Humber River Watershed is also in the immediate vicinity of the Historic Toronto Carrying Place Trail. The first Nations of North America used this trail as their trade route. With the coming of the Europeans to North America, explorers, missionaries and mapmakers used and recorded this aboriginal "highway".
The Gardiner Family of Toronto owned the property, on which this tree is located, from 1933 to 1950 which they called their summer state, "Rivermede". Percy R. and Gertrude Gardiner's son, daughter and both their spouses, all became recipients of the Order of Canada for their various contributions to our country.
Photo courtesy of Ms. Edith George - 2010- The bur oaks of Maryboro have lived to witness five empires - Huron, French, Iroquois, British and Ojibwa. The oldest and largest specimen, known to its admirers as the Grand Old Lady, has been estimated from a core at 380 years. For generations the Grove marked the head of the Fenelon Portage on the Trent River - on the fur trade route from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron. With colonization it became a focal point of James Wallis' 1837 Maryboro Lodge - then the finest home in the region, and the Estate from which Fenelon Falls was subdivided. For the village it has always been a place for community events, strawberry socials and afternoon teas. Born in the era of the canoe, saw the Victoria Railroad come and go, and oversaw the construction of the Trent-Severn Waterway, National Historic Site.

Historical and Cultural Significance: This Black Cherry tree is located in Rose Cemetery, the oldest cemetery in Prince Edward County. Culturally and historically, this tree has great significance as it is the landmark around which the cemetery was formed in 1790, and around which the first Marysburgh settlers in the County buried their dead. This has been proven by the Rose Cemetery Project, Conduced by Queen's University, which uses Ground Penetrating Radar to confirm that the first burials emanate outward from the tree's spokes. The original tree has been cut down but many smaller trees have grown out from this much older stump. This Black Cherry's will to live on and still stand as a natural marker within the centre of the Rose Cemetery, makes it one of the most significant trees in Prince Edward County.

This site is the largest publicly-owned Environmentally Significant Area in London and has been designated as a Provincially Significant Wetland. Cherished by the community, this beautiful tree is well over 250 years old and may have been witness to the region's pre-settlement history. In its early days, this tree likely watched over Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe and his wife as they camped at the Westminster Ponds before hiking to the forks of the Thames in March of 1793. This tree also stood in close proximity to Swartz's Tavern where the prominent Upper Canada Rebellion leader William Lyon MacKenzie stayed a guest in 1837.

Over its lifetime, this rare tree has been witness to many changes. In 1851, the Gore Grist Mill stood on sloping land above Spencer Creek to the north-west of this Chinquapin Oak tree. When the mill closed in the late 1920s, the Fisher family gave the entire mill property, including the land where the tree stands, to the Town of Dundas. The Fisher's Mill Park established in 2008 is now the spacious setting for the Chinquapin Oak, which continues to grow unimpeded and stands as a landmark near the western boundary of Dundas.

This large Red Oak was once a part of a 5,000 acre parcel of land originally awarded to Major John Smith in 1792 for his loyal service to his Majesty's Forces, during the American Revolution. The Red Oak is inspiring, peaceful, strong and defiant having survived fierce storms such as Hurricane Hazel. Its large and beautiful crown provides habitat for squirrels, birds and insects alike and provides a wonderful source of shade for locals.

Historical/Cultural Significance: This white oak is the official boundary marker in the first land deed in Upper Canada (now Ontario) signed in 1781 between the Chippawa and Mississauga Native Chiefs and the English Crown. The deed was for a four mile wide strip of land, paralleling the Niagara River, on the west side, running from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. The land was transferred to King George III for 300 suites of clothing.
As described in the land deed, in order to mark the boundary of the said land, the four First Nations Chiefs chose a large white oak tree, forked 6 feet from the ground near Lake Ontario at a distance of 4 miles from the west bank of the Niagara River. In 1781 an indian trail now known as Lakeshore Road joined the mouth of the Niagara River with the indian encampment in the St. Catharines area. The indian trail passes beside the tree at street number 1300, just west of Four Mile Creek and the prior Lake Ontario/ Four Mile Creek swamp lands.
This deed also marked the official birth of Niagara on the Lake which held its 200th anniversary in 1981. This year, 2014, is the 233rd year since the recognition of this white oak. Across from the oak on the banks of Four Mile Creek, Captain Daniel Servos built the first Niagara on the Lake homestead on Palatine Hill in 1783. The house was followed shortly, by a large barn, a grist mill, a saw mill, and the conversion of part of the house to a government store to sell supplies. The August 25 1782 first census showed Niagara on the Lake consisted of 16 households numbering 84 people.
The white oak tree and its significance was discovered in 2012 during an investigation of the history of the war of 1812-1814 by Dave Lee and Abe Epp, Niagara on the Lake residents. The assessment of the tree was done with the assistance of Andrew Hordyk, a certified arborist of Arborwood Tree Service. The actual hand drawn 1781 map with the distance, a scale and signatures which accompanied the land deed has also been located.
The tree is over 125 years old and was planted around the year 1887 on the Bull Family property.
The Regal Heights neighborhood's first settler of the land was Bartholomew Bull from Tipperary, Ireland. He came to this area in 1818. Bartholomew bull founded the Davenport Road Methodist Church. This church started in his house in 1830 and was called "Springmount". The first school of the area was also founded in Bull's home.
The tree is located in the SW part of the neighborhood in the immediate vicinity of the Davenport Road. This road was originally part of the Aboriginal trail that followed the ancient Lake Iroquois shoreline from the Don River to the Humber River.
The Bull family were founders of the Earlscourt district and prominent residents of the Junction area of Toronto.
The Bull farm was not sold and subdivided until the early 1900s.
This significant White Oak is more than 250 years old with a circumference of close to 4.5 meters. The current owners of the house, the Kerteszs', bought the property back in 1954 because the couple loved the tree. The land has an interesting history having been owned by a succession of enterprising people over the years, including the Montgomery Family - of Mongomery's Inn in Etobicoke (who owned it around 1880). Around 1950, Edmund Peachey, a progressive builder who developed Chestnut Hills where the tree is located. Peachey may have been the first builder to use double paned windows and an experimental product called drywall. This was Peachey's first major project. He went on to become the award-winning developer of the builder of the iconic, modernistic and very successful Valhalla Inn. And now we come to today - The Kertesz couple. The late Fred Kertesz was an importer and one of his accounts was the Canadian importation of the internationally known PEZ candy. We are lucky that Tilllie and her late husband chose to purchase this property and have been such defenders of this remarkable tree.
- Southern Ontario, at one point in our history, was so heavily forested that it was said a squirrel could travel from Toronto to Niagara and never touch the ground. Most of these trees felt the bite of the axe - but especially so, the American Beech. There are accounts of valleys for as far as the eye could see populated by just American Beech. These were the prime locations for settlers to start farming since Beech thrived on fertile, agricultural soil. Wherever Beech plantations were found, they were quickly chopped down to make way for farming. That is why we find it quite miraculous that we can nominate this particular tree. Puslinch Township was no different than any other part of Ontario for its land clearing - by the 1930's Puslinch was bare of trees. This American Beech tree is on the 100 acres of land originally purchased in 1833 by the John McDiarmid family. The land was heavily forested but soon was cleared for farmland, with the timber used to construct a log cabin along with other farm buildings. In 1864, the log cabin was replaced for the present stone house. For some reason, this American Beech Tree was again spared and stands to the side of the stone house. Colonel John Bayne Maclean, founder of Maclean Publications, was born in the manse and spent his early childhood in the village Crieff just nearby the McDiarmid farm. As a successful businessman with an interest in his rural roots, Maclean returned to Puslinch by 1930, buying three 100 acre farm properties. One of these farms was the original McDiarmid farm. While still living and working in Toronto, these properties became Col Maclean's 'Crieff Farm' where he would spend most weekends. Col Maclean was an early pioneer of many new concepts, including conservation. When he noted 'the absence of beneficial bird life because the natural woodland habitat had long disappeared,' he began a large reforestation project. In 1950, upon the death of Colonel Maclean, 250 acres of 'The Crieff Farm' was left to the Presbyterian Church of Canada. This gift included the buildings one of which was the original McDiarmid House with this proud American Beech still standing guard on the front lawn. Colonel Maclean's Will, stipulated that this stone house was to be available for use by his secretary, Miss Dove for as long as she wished. Until 1983 Miss Dove made use of this home as her weekend and summer place of retreat. Miss Dove was an avid gardener, was president of the Toronto Horticultural Society and took great care of the area surrounding the house. No doubt guests coming from Toronto for formal teas on the front lawn would take shade under this beautiful American Beech tree. Now in 2016, this American Beech tree still stands at the corner of the House of Dove and is visited by many people coming to the National Presbyterian Retreat and Conference Centre. It will become part of the growing environmental stewardship program being shared with the public at Crieff Hills Retreat and Conference Centre. 'The tree that would stand.'
- This tree has been described as a white oak, approximately 250 to 300 years in age. The tree sits on a designated heritage site known as the Charles Smith House, built in 1828. Charles Smith had purchased 200 acres from the Crown in 1826. Nepean Bylaw 81-83: Statement of Reason for Designation- James Smith House The James Smith House built circa 1830 by a New England millwright is an excellent example of early rural vernacular architecture. The site, in the Village of Fallowfield, is on an escarpment known locally as Piety Hill and fronts onto one of the earliest settlement roads in Carleton County. The Charles Smith House was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1983 by Nepean City Council. Steeple Hill Crescent is lined by many majestic oaks, perhaps nurtured from acorns from this one larger nominated tree. The street was at one time the main road for travel between Richmond and Bells Corners and then on to Bytown. The last known descendant of James Smith who occupied this property was Doctor S. L. Everett Danby. Articles found in the historical archives make mention that Dr. Danby buried his first two wives at the base of this oak tree. Neighbors have indicated that there once were two head stone markers on the site but they have long since crumbled and no evidence remains of them.
- The Royal Oak, Arnprior This oak tree was planted as a sapling by the 19 year old Prince of Wales, eldest son of Queen Victoria who later became Edward VII, on his tour to New York & Canada in 1860. After laying the cornerstone of the new Parliament Buildings in Bytown the Prince travelled by steamboat & birch bark canoe, part of a race, to Arnprior, known for its lumber industry. He lunched at the home of Daniel McLachlin, one of the lumber barons of the area, named "The Hill". This stone home is now the Galilee Centre. After "an elaborate Luncheon" the oak sapling, prepared by the head gardener, was planted overlooking Lac Des Chats, on the Ottawa River. An addition was made to the house in 1963 but the oak tree has been protected. An identifying plaque has been placed at the base of the tree.
- The Coutnac Beach community within Tiny Township of Simcoe County, Ontario, comprises 161 properties and seven (7) held in-common private park lands which are home to a large number of healthy and old growth mature Ash trees. Located on the north shore of the Outer Harbour of Penetanguishene Bay, Coutnac Beach resides in an area with a rich and steep history of the early settlement and defence of Canada. As early as AD 800, the Huron settled in semi-permanent villages in the area with the young French translator, Étienne Brûlé, being the first European to set foot in the Penetanguishene area, some time between 1610 and 1614. A historic naval establishment on the opposing shore to Coutnac Beach, followed, being constructed in 1817 by the British Navy after the War of 1812 to protect the Upper Great Lakes. Later, the area of Coutnac Beach was logged extensively with a large sawmill (the Penetang Mill - o/o Charles Beck) operating from 1873 to circa 1930. Coutnac Beach, started being developed in 1958 upon land purchased from the Roman Catholic Church parishioned by Monsignor Jean Castex at the time and as the first planned cottage community in Canada under the newly instated (at the time) Ontario Planning Act of 1960. The community has a unique and one-of-a-kind layout/plan in Canada with the common park lands providing residences unencumbered vistas and access to beaches and shores of Georgian Bay, and, also vast common lands for picnics and community social events such as the Coutnac Beach Property Owner's Association annual summer beach picnic. Nonetheless, we are very fortunate our community exists as one of two founding developers - Mr. Gerome Gignac, passed on in a tragic accident shortly into the development of our community, leaving the other partner - Mr. Wilfred Coutu (passed in 2015 at age of 94) to complete development of the community which is aptly named a portmanteau of the developers last names. Mr. Coutu overcame many challenges to develop our community, including one unique accomplishment in which he engineered and developed a barge-mounted, winch-operated scraper with a large bulldozer blade to clean and restore the beaches and near shore waters of Coutnac Beach of discarded stumps, off cuts and debris from former logging operations. Interestingly, during that process the bones and riggings of an entire equestrian logging team were found that had fell through the ice during the logging period of the 1800s. All the while, through the years, many Ash trees in Coutnac Beach have continued to stand tall for over an estimated 130 years being spared the loggers' axes and saws and land development operations. In fact the trees were saved by residing within the unique planned common park lands (noted earlier) not having to be removed for subdivision grading and road and home construction. Of significant note, we have nine (9) White Ash trees alone that have diameters at breast height (DBHs) and heights at over 60cm and 70 feet tall, respectively, and eighteen (18) more White Ash trees with over 50cm DBHs. It is these significant white ashes, growing in this arboreal remnant that are being recognized as Ontario Heritage Trees.
- Our first Remembrance Day was marked on November 11, 1919 to makr the end of World War I. As a commemorative gesture for 12 very young soldiers (ages 16-18) from the Lambton community who lost their lives in the war, 6 trees were to be planted in front of Lambton Park Community School. Royal Princes of England- Albert and Edward- were invited to plant these trees, however were unable attend, so it was decided that the mothers of the fallen soldiers would plant the trees. Reginald Gage was an uncles to a young girl named Bonita Nelson. Bonita's grandmother, Emily Gage, Reginald's mother was sick on planting day, so Bonita's mother ( Reginald's sister) stepped in and, helped with the planting. A plaque commemorating the 12 fallen soldiers where on display in the school foyer. In 1993, the school was torn down and rebuilt. During construction, Madeleine McDowell, a well-known historian, and school trustee at the time, was aware of the importance of the six trees out front of the school, so she made sure they were protected. On September 24, 2016, the school celebrated its 100th anniversary at which time these 6 trees were formally recognized Ontario Heritage Trees, and a delighted and proud Bonita Nelson was a guest of honour at the ceremony.
