Teenagers show they care

s local residents are being asked to support the Canadian Cancer Society during the Daffodil Month national fundraising campaign, we note the upcoming Relay for Life events planned for Almonte June 5 at Gemmill Park and June 13 in Smiths Falls at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track. Dozens of teams take part in those annual overnight events in support of the ongoing fight against a disease that takes many forms and affects so many of us. Students and staff at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, as well as St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville have also been doing a great job by hosting their own Relay for Life events over the past several years. After lying dormant since 2003, St. Michael’s resurrected their run in September 2011 and are set to host it once again this year on May 22 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. They announced their intentions to raise $35,000 for cancer research during their Relay for Life kick-off at the school last week. St. John’s are old pros at the Relay for Life, marking 13 years hosting the event

at the school. Their fundraiser will also take place May 22 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., with a $50,000 goal. Last year, the school community and 320 participants were able to raise $52,000 over the 12-hour relay. Even more impressive is the fact that over the past 13 years, the combined total raised for the Canadian Cancer Society by St. John’s is $577,000. This event underscores the importance of celebrating life and supporting those who struggle to overcome cancer and remembering others who lost their battles with the disease. So in addition to buying and wearing daffodil pins and making donations to the society, local residents can support the cancer society by collecting pledges and taking part in one of the Relay for Life events in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area this spring or making a pledge on behalf of someone who is getting involved. The student-led efforts at St. Michael’s and St. John’s and many other high schools in Canada show that people of all ages have a role to play in these major community endeavours.

Fay Nelson of Beckwith works on creating one of her unique handmade cards by pressing designs into parchment, during the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute’s annual spring craft fair April 18. For more intricate examples, Nelson said it could take her a day and a half to finish a card. Below, everything old is new again. Merrickville’s Christine Geauvreau displays her handcrafted antique wind chimes. She works primarily with silver objects, including teapots and cutlery to create her one-of-a-kind chimes.

GARDENER’S CORNER

The Way you were raised We just finished watching the 79th Masters Golf tournament. It was won by a 21 year old Texan with remarkable poise and talent. But the final putt on the eighteenth hole was not the most memorable moment for me. His playing partner for the final round was a young Brit that also played a great round. Justin Rose took the time to wait outside the the cottage where players sign their scorecard to make the win official. He could have just shook hands on the final hole and moved on. He didn’t. When Jordan Spieth approached the scoring cottage Justin gave him a huge hug and said “ I’m so proud of you”. That’s the way sports should be. It’s all in the way you were raised. It’s just one of the reasons I so enjoy golf. It’s civilized, it’s quiet and it’s played in a garden. A long prelude to this week’s topic. Raised beds. What is a raised bed? A bed for plants that is elevated. Above the rest. Not unlike the best golfers. A nurturing ground for the best results. We have been planting in raised beds for almost ten years. They don’t have to be fancy. We’ve used scrap wood and discarded pallets. So why raised beds? They make it so easy to amend the soil, so easy to weed and so easy to harvest. If you decide to go with raised beds there are a few tips. Don’t make them any wider than twice your arm’s length so you can

R0013232746_0423

access them from both sides. One arm’s length if they are against a fence or wall. Build them as tall as your needs. If you have mobility issues, build them taller. You don’t need to fill the entire cavity with soil. Build them to suit your requirements. Line the bottom with several layers of newspaper to minimize weed growth. Fill the remainder with a mix of soil and compost and plant. If the weather turns cold, you can place a lid on the boxes and avoid frost damage. As the plants develop, fertilizing is a breeze. We use well aged chicken manure or a comfrey tea. The plants are concentrated in a small area and only require a little fertilizer and watering is just as easy. We get maximum yield with a minimum footprint and a whole lot less work. As we watched the young Texan working his magic around Augusta National this weekend something became so obvious. You decide what you want to achieve and you set about your goals with the most efficient and pleasurable path. Love what you do and take the time do things well and results will follow. It really is that easy. Love what you do and take the time to get it right. Whether it’s a fifteen foot putt or a pride of peppers, your effort will show. It’s all in how you raise.

How would you feel, at 18 years of age, if suddenly you were diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease (CD)? It would be devastating news. Unlike other well-known diseases, you would probably know nothing about this illness, and even its name sounds ominous. But you would not be alone. Crohn’s Disease is not a household word and, in spite of its importance, receives little in research dollars.

R0013236049_0423

Jennifer Westendorp

Dr. Gifford-Jones

Crohn’s Disease affects 600,000 people in North America. Normally, it strikes those between 20 to 35 years of age, with another peak in the 50s, but no age is immune to this disorder. And smokers are three times more likely to develop this disease. It shows no sex bias as it affects both equally. In about 20 percent of cases a blood relative has some form of this inflammatory bowel disease. Those of Jewish heritage have an increased risk but African Americans are less likely to develop it. Patients suffer from recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, fever and weight loss. Geographically it can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to the anus. But most commonly it involves the lower part of the small bowel, called the ileum. There are several theories about what causes Crohn’s Disease. Some researchers believe CD is an auto-immune disease in which the body’s defenses become confused and begin attacking its own cells. But whatever the reason, the bowel’s wall becomes repeatedly inflamed, often with no rhyme nor reason as to when these attacks occur. Initially, it may be difficult to know whether the patient suffers from Crohn’s Disease or ulcerative colitis which primarily affects the large bowel. But blood tests, x-ray and colonoscopy examinations will eventually determine the diagnosis. The most common complication is blockage of the intestine. Repeated episodes of inflammation cause swelling, scar tissue and narrowing of the bowel. In some cases the inflammatory response may be so intense that perforation of the intestine occurs and tunnels develop between the bowel, vagina, bladder or skin. Fissures or small tears may occur at the anal area. So a diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, whether at 18 years of age or older, causes a major readjustment in one’s life. As one young female patient said to me “If I’m out on a date I’m often thinking where is the bathroom if I need one, and how do I tell him I have this problem?” Others say repeated attacks place a strain on their relationships. The uncertainty of recurrences make it hard to plan ahead. Patients with Crohn’s Disease must get to know their disease and start a food diary to ascertain what foods cause trouble. But, at the same time, be careful not to develop a food phobia as food does not cause CD, nor does it cure it. And above all else, they must not let this disease overwhelm their entire life.

Author of Eeko’s Splash Landing Some patients discover that if they consume lesser amounts of visits Holy Cross food there’s a decreased chance of bowel problems. But this can

The author of ‘Eeko’s Splash Landing,’ Diane Charbonneau, paid a visit to Holy Cross Catholic School in Kemptville on April 16. The book, which was published on March 13, is about a school project building a spacecraft on planet Zeebot gone wrong, resulting in Eeko, a friendly alien, landing in Xavier’s swimming pool with a broken spaceship. The book is the first of a possible series. The official book launch will take place at the Cornwall Public Library on April 25 at 1:30 p.m. Charbonneau conducted a book reading and art project, consisting of building spaceships, with the Grade 1 class at Holy Cross. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the book. For more information or to order a copy, visit www.eekosadventures.com.

be dangerous as it can lead over time to malnutrition and that’s the last thing a patient with Crohn’s Disease needs. For instance, intestinal bleeding can lead to iron deficiency anemia. It’s also important to make sure that patients with CD have sufficient amounts of vitamin B12. Since vitamin B12 is absorbed at the end of the small bowel where CD often strikes, this vitamin may be lacking. And since many patients with CD cannot tolerate lactose, it’s important they receive adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease. Cortisone and drugs to suppress the immune system may limit the inflammatory response. But sometimes multiple surgeries are needed to remove inflamed portions of intestine.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

MACAULAY Jim

Jim Macaulay, passed away, peacefully on Friday, April 3, just 2 months off his 92nd year. Jim was unique. Part teacher, part mad scientist, part artist, part progressive thinker, part old fashioned gentleman. A complete renaissance man. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1923. He enjoyed an eclectic career working as a structural engineering draughtsman, an assistant yacht designer on the 1958 America’s Cup challenger, a film cameraman, model maker, art director and graphic artist. He moved with his wife Eunice and his children to Montreal to take up a position at the National Film Board, and eventually, he began a new career and perhaps the most rewarding part of his varied working life, as a teacher of drawing and animation at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. During his years there, he played an instrumental part in the training of hundreds of young animators, many of whom he was proud to see fulfilling their career goals, at prestigious animation studios throughout the world including PIXAR, Industrial Light and Magic, Walt Disney and as teachers themselves carrying on in Jim’s footsteps. He will be sorely missed by his former students, many of whom he considered life long friends, by the many dear friends he made in the film industry, through his wide outside interests, and during his retirement time in both Perth and St. Eugene, and by his nephews and niece in the UK and especially by his two daughters Lesley and Maggi, his Granddaughters, Zoë Sophia and Emilie and by his son in law, Christopher. His family would like to extend their thanks to the staff of the Heritage Lodge for the great care they gave Jim over the last year. He counted you as friends too, as do we. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.To express your condolences, make a donation or light a candle in memory please visit www.hillcrestfuneralhome. ca Funeral arrangements entrusted to Hillcrest Funeral Home 151 Bond Street, Vankleek Hill, ON K0B 1R0 613 678-2002.

Freeman Wilson 1943-2015

Wilson, Billy as he was called by his Nova Scotia family, neighbours and schools chums, was the first-born to Norma and Whitman Freeman. His siblings are Barbara, Bobby, Alan and Birdie. His Mom was a high school teacher, avid gardener and yoga instructor in her senior years. He learned his farming practices from his Dad who milked Jersey cows, raised layers and taught him how to make the meadows in a dry year. When he was young, he loved to hunt and fish. His Mom would pack him a lunch and off he went to the bush. On a few occasions, he played hooky and headed off to the bush and came home at the regular school dismissal time. He and his teenage buddies built a hunt camp near a brook where it still sits today. If only those walls could talk! He attended the local schools, Pleasant River and Caledonia and then the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. He then attanded McDonald College and graduated with a Science Dregree from McGill University in 1966. Wilson became the father of eight children by choice and circumstance. He and Marilyn got married and chose Shane and Craig to be their sons. Later he married Shirley and added Kim and Connie to his family. In 1981, his family grew by 3 more, Darryl, Derrick and Chrystal, Gail’s children. Gail and Wilson created a special bond with Michael as foster parents. He was well respected at Statistics Canada, Census of Agriculture. He met farmers across Canada and spent time understanding their farming practices. He retired in 2009 after 37 years and returned in 2011–12 part-time. He was a go-to for Ag knowledge and only a phone call away for co-workers. Wilson always said he really did not need to travel. His world was at his fingertips sitting under the maple tree in the front yard with his family and friends. Peace be with you! Memorial Service Saturday May 2, 2015 at 2 p.m. at Mountain Township Agricultural Hall, 2967 Lough Road

Sunny skies smiled upon Smiths Falls on Sunday, April 19 for the fourth annual Spring Fling Running Thing event, to benefit the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation. Hundreds of runners descended on the Cataraqui Trail to enjoy a half-marathon, 10K, 5K or 2K run. Over the past four years, $25,000 has been raised for the hospital foundation through the Spring Fling, allowing them to purchase vital patient care equipment. Clockwise, from top left: the Spring Fling’s mascot, the Running Thing, strikes a pose as the seconds count down before the start of the 10K race; young Elenya Gardner has a look of determination on her face as the pushes towards the finish line in the 2K distance; Rob Gemmell and Hillary Gemmell shoot off of the 5K starting line; runners kick off their 21kilometre trek during the half-marathon event.
