Students from South Grenville District High School held a fishing derby last week in Cardinal to raise funds for the school’s athletics programs. Among those who attended was special guest Michael Tayler, who represented Canada at the London Olympics last summer in the sport of kayak. Here he takes a moment to meet Ashley Connell, an SGDHS student (and perhaps future Olympian) who recently won a silver medal in senior girls shotput at OFSAA.

EMC Events - As part of the Heritage Fair (June 21-23), the Spencerville Mill is aiming to break an existing Guinness World Record. In an attempt to beat the record for the most people dressed in Regency or Napoleonic period clothes, the Spencerville Mill is inviting participants to gather on Saturday, June 22 just outside of the Mill at 4 p.m. The current record is just 409 people. At last year’s attempt organizers had 239. To participate in the attempt, indi-

venue, as folks can dance, they can sit and have a drink. Having the festival at several locations, “allows us to put jazz on the street,â€? noted Marie-HĂŠlène Bouillot, past president of the BCA. The same weekend this festival launches is the Tall Ships Festival in Brockville. The BCA, noted Bouillot, has worked with Tall Ships organizers from the beginning to integrate activities as best as possible. Last year’s festival ended up making a profit, while the year before, the numbers were down. Overall the festival is in a balanced position. And the new formula the festival has undertaken, works, “musically, financially and (for the) community,â€? Samia O’Day, director with the BCA. She encourages those interested in attending any of the festival’s shows, to get their tickets now, as they may sell out. “In the past we have been sold out,â€? O’Day commented. “People have come and been disappointed.â€? Anne Dawson, president of the BCA nodded, saying, “We had to turn people away last year.â€? Tickets for Diane Panton are $35 plus HST (students under 18 are $10 plus HST). For Barry Greene tickets are $15 plus HST, Cadence $27 plus HST, Apex Jazz Band $25 plus HST. Tickets are being sold through the Brockville Arts Centre. The programme and further information is available on the Brockville Concert Association website at www.brockvilleconcert.ca.

At dusk (approximately 9:30 p.m.) the focus switches to Confederation Park when the Town of Gananoque hosts the ever popular Fireworks Show. The highly attended free, fun, family food festival is back for its eighth year on June 28-July 1 with these big improvements in store for what is sure to be another successful fundraiser for the Rotary and Lions clubs of Gananoque. The joint club project for Ribfest 2013 is a Play Structure for the 1812 Heritage Park to be installed near the Children’s Splash Pad. An event of this magnitude only happens with the support of the community. The Rotary and Lions clubs of Gananoque have always been fortunate to receive the financial and the in-kind support of many local businesses and Ribfest is no different.

Local couple creates pendant to preserve a moment in time for Tall Ships 1812

EMC News - Chris and Carol Palko became captivated with the Fair Jeanne’s story. And with that captivation they have designed a special pendant in commemoration of the Tall Ships Festival. The Fair Jeanne was designed and built by Capt. Thomas George Fuller and the Fuller family in their backyard in Britannia-on-the-Bay, Ottawa, Ontario. The keel was laid in 1978 and she was launched in 1980. Fair Jeanne started her life sailing as the family’s private yacht. Cruising, for more than 10 years, the world’s oceans in the Caribbean and to old haunts in the European Seas by Capt. Fuller and his wife, Jeanne. Today Fair Jeanne sails for a different cause and has been donated to the not-for-profit youth charity Bytown Brigantine; a sail training ship. The Pendant The enamel technique used in the making of the Fair Jeanne Pendant, by the Palkos, is CloisonnÊ. It was first used in 13th Century BC.

This highly skilled technique has been used over the centuries including the making of FabergĂŠ eggs. The Faire Jeanne Pendant is a sensational piece depicting the ship’s ocean-going perils by developing the elements of high waves, gusty clouds and billowing ship sails. Keeping with the nautical theme Palko made the 18K gold casing to represent a weighty old world “golden treasureâ€? with the rope edging and magnificent compass rose back. The exquisite gems on the pendant face represent the four Fuller sons. The fine Peridot on the back of the pendant represents Capt. Fuller’s wife Jeanne. Chris Palko, is a Canadian Enamelist and custom jewellery designer. Carol Palko is a gemmologist; together they own Palko Jewelry Design located in Brockville, Ontario. To see stages in the creation of the Fair Jeanne Fine CloisonnĂŠ Enamel go to www.youtube. com/user/PalkoJewels. The Fair Jeanne will be appearing as one of the ships for the Tall Ships Festival.

EMC Events - With the arrival of 10 tall ships in Brockville this weekend, the St. Lawrence River will become a portal for time travel for one month alone. Beginning June 14, the iconic Thousand Islands Region will bring history alive with a series of blockbuster heritage events. The Tall Ships 1812 Tour opens in Brockville June 14-16, kicking off a pan-provincial event that will travel throughout Ontario this summer. Held in conjunction with other major events such as the Thousand Islands Wine & Food and Jazz & Blues Festivals, this weekend is being touted as Brockville’s Biggest Weekend. The following weekend brings Mr. Darcy and other Jane Austen fun to Spencerville. The annual Heritage Fair offers workshops on how to die in battle or become an accomplished lady. Expect to see cavalry, duelling and dancing at this unique festival June 21-23. If you have the attire, join in an attempt to break an existing Guinness World Record for the most people in Regency or Napoleonic clothing. Setting out on June 8, the Thousand Islands Flotilla brings to life the 1813 pursuit of the American army by Lt Col Morrison’s detachments and the River Flotilla of Captain Mulcaster. The flotilla will depart Bath to arrive at the Battle of Crysler’s Farm for the re-enactment weekend. This year marks the 200th anniversary of a battle that saved Canada. From July 13-14, the Battle of Crysler’s Farm will

be re-enacted at historic Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg. Featuring three battle scenarios, cavalry and over 500 re-enactors, this year’s event will be the biggest to date.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of a battle that saved Canada. From July 13-14, the Battle of Crysler’s Farm will be re-enacted at historic Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg. Also opening July 13 is the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival’s new production, Maid for a Musket. Set in 1813 Prescott, the play follows a group of soldiers who pledge to go without women or whiskey for a whole year in order to better themselves. That is, until some attractive women arrive in town. These are but the major heritagefocused events happening in the region this month. A complete list can be found at celebrate1812.ca. A special Guide to Time Travel was developed to help visitors step back in time and enjoy the region in between major festivals. A full list of historic holdings, inns and restaurants takes tourism in a new direction - into history - from June 14 to July 14.

A generous soul

Local man leaves significant gift to Food for All Food Bank “Although Garry’s body never fully recovered from his tragic accident his mind continued on in overdrive, dabbling in stocks and any investments that he thought worthy,� Hitsman wrote. “While keeping busy he didn’t forget the support he received from friends, family and community in his time of need and in turn on an ongoing basis has been supporting many local (food banks, sick kids, Spirit of Giving, Fire Department Light Up the Night Parade, Kinsmen, hospitals), provincial (Ontario March of Dimes) and national (Cancer, Heart and Stroke etc.) charities which we hope to continue on in his name Garry Young Estate.� It was last year that he started having significant back pain and just wasn’t feeling well. After seeing the doctor, it was found that he had cancer, Hitsman noted. “He was a very giving guy. It was no surprise this is what he wanted to do,� Hitsman said of the legacy gift. “We are more than happy to see the money go back to the community.� “This very generous donation will provide assistance to fight poverty for many people in South Grenville in the future. We hope this donation will inspire others to help the cause,� Gommert noted in a press release. The food bank serves all of South Grenville, and has food banks in Prescott, Cardinal and Spencerville. “Nearly 40 per cent of our food bank clients are children under the age of 18. Food for All Food Bank is an essential service to the South Grenville area. Living in poverty is a reality to many of the residents that live in our community,� the release explained.

EMC Lifestyle – Giving back to the community that gave so much to him – the late Garry Young has left a legacy that will keep on giving. A legacy gift in the amount of more than $47,610, was given to the Food for All Food Bank in Prescott, June 5, from Young’s estate. “The vision to think of the food bank and the food bank’s future is very, very humbling,� Bonnie Gommert, executive director for FFAFB, commented as she teared up during the presentation. “This is a very touching and emotional moment. This gift is going to help so many people and going to change lives.� Family members on hand that day included Young’s nephew and brother, Art Hitsman and Randy Miller, respectively. Young was 63 when he passed away in January, at the Brockville General Hospital, after a battle with cancer. Prescott Mayor Brett Todd, on hand for the presentation, explained he was both happy and sad to be there. “It is always incredible when someone leaves this kind of legacy,� he noted. The “huge gift� Young has left after his passing is both positive and lasting, Todd said. “He made sure (through the legacy gift) the community would be paid back for the kindness he received,� Hitsman commented. When Young was a child, his family needed the services of the local food bank, then administered through a local church, he explained. This wasn’t the first time Young felt the embrace of the community’s warmth. Young broke his back, neck, wrist and ribs at the age of 41, when he jumped from a second storey window of his burning home. Eight hours of surgery in Kingston, and

EMC Editorial – A cell (or smart) phone or computer can hold a lot of secrets. It’s another world for many people. It’s a place where you can lose yourself, create a new identity, become someone you’re not. Granted, in today’s society, getting through a day without being plugged into something electronic is practically unheard of. Smartphones are needed by working society as people respond to emails, create appointments, check in on their kids, plan the grocery shopping – all at the click of one’s finger… or thumb. Hand-held devices, laptops and tablets go everywhere one can travel comfortably. Walk down the street, go grocery shopping, to a show or a restaurant - anywhere you go – there are people plugged into their devices: texting, listening to music, making calls, Googling, shopping. Our worlds are so integrated in our devices that if we misplace it or leave it at home one day, or heaven forbid, it needs a factory reset for some techie glitch, then the world will collapse around us. So what is on that smartphone in your pocket? Would your spouse show you his or her phone if you asked? What about your child’s devices? Would they let you near them? If the answer to those questions is “no”, then it may be time to get some answers. Adults, you’re on your own here, but as far as your children are concerned, in today’s world, where it seems everyone has a cell phone, there are even more precautions that parents need to take to ensure their child’s safety. This is not just about bullying via text messages, or phone calls, but it’s about sexual predators. Smartphones allow children and youth the opportunity to get online to pornographic sites, dating sites, Facebook accounts, look at photos and watch videos. By being open with your children and their electronics, you can keep a better handle on what is happening in their world. Ask them to share with you; don’t put them on the defensive, but encourage them to talk about their safety plan, and the judicial fallout about sexting (sending and receiving lewd or nude photos of others), pornography and bullying. It’s better to scare them with the truth than ignore the issue all together.

The arrival of an ice box was like Christmas time for Mary EMC Lifestyle - Until that fateful day in the middle of summer, Mother had no choice but to keep the perishables on a swinging shelf in the dug-out under the house. It was a dank and frightening place, and could only be entered from the outside...there was no trap-door in the kitchen like Aunt Bertha had on the next farm. Two big doors tilted against the house, and they had to be lifted to gain entry. It was a place I hated with a passion, and Mother too never quite got used to putting butter and milk on the swinging shelf. Blocks of ice were put in big tubs down in the dugout in the hope that what Mother put down there would be kept chilled enough that we all wouldn’t die from food poisoning. Of course when the ice melted, the big tubs had to be hauled up and emptied a job for my big strapping brothers. But it was Grandfather who changed all that one day when he came out from Ottawa and ordered Father to hitch up

the wagon and head into Renfrew. Of course, Grandfather had no intention of riding all the way into Renfrew sitting on a rickety seat on a wagon. He drove ahead in his rumble seat car and told Father where to meet him. Everett went with Father to help. The purpose of his trip into town was to buy Mother a brand new Barnett ice box! “Uncivilized! That’s what it is!” he said time and again on his regular visits to the farm, and when one of us kids was sent down into the dug-out to bring up milk or butter, or anything else

that Mother hoped would keep fresh long enough so that we could eat it. We always had had an ice house, and it was always full of blocks of ice, but never until that wonderful day, did we have an ice box to put the blocks in! Mother spent the entire morning trying to come up with a decent place to put the ice box in the kitchen. It had to be well away from the Findlay Oval, of course. And it couldn’t sit in the window looking out into the grape arbour... that’s where the old pine table sat and where we had our meals. Finally, without even knowing what it would look like, or what size it was, Mother decided it would go catty corner next to the little room off the kitchen that served as Mother and Father’s bedroom. So that place was scrubbed by Audrey, wiped dry, and newspapers laid out covering the entire corner. For reasons unknown to me at the time, Mother made all of us change from

play clothes into our next-to-Sunday best…was it because we were getting an ice box? Or was it because Grandfather would be there for a visit? At any rate, we were spit-clean when Grandfather drove back into the yard, and said the new ice box would be here as soon as Father could get back from Renfrew. Mother in a clean Dan River dress and a fresh white apron, sat on the back stoop waiting for its arrival, and Audrey and I perched on the pump stoop. Grandfather brought out a kitchen chair to the yard. He wouldn’t sit on anything that wasn’t spotlessly clean in case he got a mark on his white flannel pants! It was like we were waiting for the Queen to arrive! And then we saw the wagon round the corner at the far end of the lane, and as it got closer we could see Everett standing with his arms wrapped around what liked like a casket standing on its end. Father pulled the wagon up close to the

kitchen door. “My oh my,” Mother said, not even waiting until it was loaded off onto the ground, she leaned into the wagon and rubbed her hands all over the new ice box like it was made of gold! It took the three brothers and Father to lift it off the wagon, with Grandfather telling them to be careful and not scratch it. It was shiny wood, the colour of caramel candy, with silver handles, and I thought was grand enough that it could easily have sat in the parlour. Without even being told, Everett tore to the ice house, and using the big black iron tongs, hauled a block of ice into the house. It was beastly hot in the kitchen with the Findlay Oval pumping out heat, and I secretly wondered if the ice box would cool off the whole house. Emerson swung open the little door on the side, and Everett plopped in the block of ice. See MARY page 9

The fears he had and realizing he was losing himself, while he was also quickly becoming unable to see well, frightened him and me even more. While he was still very lucid we did all the necessary things to ensure his safety, all legal items, POA’s, updating our wills to enable me to carry on and look after his needs when he became unable to. As well we discussed when and where he should live if I could no longer look after him. Then all heck broke loose‌

He then moved to another retirement home when I underwent cancer surgery. In January 2010 he moved to a long-term care facility and is still there. David settled in slowly to long-term care, danced with me when there was music in the first floor lounge. He still played gigs with the Fiddlers Plus until he became a bit disruptive at gigs and only

went to practices. In the spring of 2012 he was confined to a wheelchair for his own safety and so travelling stopped. When Fiddlers Plus or any group came to the home he still played his harmonica with them. The last time he played with Fiddlers Plus was July 2012, he played it from memory and never missed a note. He lost the ability to play by 2013 and only played an occasional tune. They say music is the last to go. He still has a little of his sense of humour. I go every two days to spend time with him and often slip in to say goodnight.

It seems like only yesterday that we were returning from the south, having spent two years on our sailboat “Beetlejuice� mostly in the Caribbean. David retired in 1991 after serving as a Captain for over 28 years in the R. C. A.F. then Federal Public Servant another 11, with Calian Technology as a Consultant until he retired in 1991. It was time to go and enjoy life. Thank God, things were wonderful when we returned in ’93, bought our Prescott retirement home, (because it has one of the best marinas along the whole eastern coast). Day-to-day activities continued, I noticed David was forgetful more often and I thought

“Ah well, we are getting older,� it seemed a natural progression in life. He joined Kiwanis and was the recipient of the Mel Osborne award for his contributions to community. He joined a musical group “The Offbeats� he had played Harmonicas since the age of eight, enjoyed playing gigs at seniors homes, etc. After a few years he was interested in Irish music and was one of the original four or five musicians who got an Irish group going. David played with “Fiddlers plus� (as it became known) since its inception. As he became more forgetful, our doctor sent us to the Memory Clinic at Elizabeth Bruyere Centre in Ottawa. He was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s, prescribed medications and life went on. One night he woke me to say he was frightened, he had experienced a strange thing. He had got up, walked into our hallway

MARY From page 8

Audrey and I were sent down to the dugout for all the perishables, and Mother arranged it all in the ice box like she was laying out blocks for a quilt. Grandfather had thought of everything. While in Renfrew he bought an exact duplicate of our white granite dish pan, and he slid it under the ice box to catch the drip. We

sat around the ice box on kitchen chairs, as if waiting for it to tell us something. It sure looked mighty nice in the corner, and I could tell Mother was as proud as if someone had bought her a new car! What a change the new ice box brought to our old log house. Now we had it as well as a telephone, thanks to Uncle Lou.

Emerson wondered what we had to do to get running water, and I longed for the day we could just push up a switch and a light would go on just like at my little friend Joyce’s house. Sadly, water from a tap, and light from a bulb were not to be. Both would have to wait until the day we left the farm many years away.

Sadly family members who have difficulty dealing with the diagnosis don’t visit. They may have regrets in the future. I still have guilty feelings about placing him in long-term care. I am glad that I am able to be David’s advocate and feel badly for those people in longterm care who have no one to visit or assist them. Volunteers are always needed to visit one on one with them as there isn’t time for staff to have long conversations. So do support Alzheimer Society as their work is important.

First ever boat cruise June 20 raises dollars and awareness for Interval House By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

Embarkment time is from Blockhouse Island, 7:15 p.m. The evening will come to an end at 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person and are available at Scotiabank, 7 King St. W., Brockville, 613-342-0140 or contact Krista or Anne – krista@orianafinancial.com or anne@orianafinancial. com.

Wright noted key people in the community who both respond and provide services to women who have experienced violence will be in attendance. Partner agencies and members of the public are being encouraged to attend as well.

Raising awareness goes hand in hand and is just as important as raising funds. “People have to know help is available,� Wright stressed.

Vermonter plans to ship goods by sailing barge

“With God, all things are possible...� Matthew 19:26

Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

terval House will be held Saturday, June 22. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day a barbecue is being sponsored by Giant Tiger, Brockville, in their parking lot. All funds donated will be given to Interval House. Dollars raised at important fundraising events such as these go towards services offered by the shelter. For the last fiscal year, Leeds and Grenville Interval House admitted 68 women and 33 children, logged 835 crisis calls, and provided non-residential services (for example, outreach, children’s programs) to 275 women and 41 children. The shelter, funded for 10 beds, usually sits at between 100 and 120 per cent occupancy. While Ministry of Community and Social Services provides funding each year, there is a gap between funding received and the actual cost of running the shelter. It is fundraising activities

EMC Events – While ships participating in the Tall Ships Festival bob at anchor along Brockville’s waterfront this coming weekend, Erik Andrus will be describing his own sailing vessel, a barge for shipping goods back and forth between Vermont and New York City. Andrus, project director for the Vermont Sail Freight Project (VSFP), will speak at the next Transition Brockville presentation, on Sunday, June 16, at 2 p.m., in the Brockville Public Library. VSFP is a carbon-neutral freight company connecting the farms and forests of Lake Champlain with the Lower Hudson Valley. In a way, it’s a contemporary reinvention of an historic regional food shipping route, says Andrus. The project team is now completing construction of a simple low-cost sailing barge with volunteer and student help. The vessel will be launched in early July, and any necessary refinements will be made. Then, in September, a two-person crew will sail with 12 tons of non-perishable food cargo from Lake Champlain down the Hudson, selling at ports south of Fort Edward, on the Hudson River, north of Albany, all the way to New York City. Interactive online maps and a purchasing platform will allow buyers and the public to track the boat’s progress to New York, where it will sell its Vermont-brand cargo at NYC retail prices. There the boat will acquire a new cargo of non-perishable imported food items (such as coffee, sugar, and chocolate) and return to Vermont to distribute them, completing the voyage with at least 10 times more energy efficiency than a semi-trailer truck. A core aim of the Vermont Sail Freight initiative is to incubate an eco-

nomically sustainable transport and distribution model that will become farmer-owned and operated within two to three years. Could a sail-powered merchant marine ever return to the St. Lawrence River again, after more than a century and a half of fossil-fuel powered vessels? Andrus’s project on Lake Champlain could inspire a revolution in shipping, in an age when fossil fuels are becoming increasingly expensive. Merchant sailing projects are also being undertaken elsewhere. There’s the Salish Sea Trading Cooperative in the Pacific Northwest, Dragonfly Sail Transport in Michigan, Tres Hombres and New Dawn Traders in Europe, and active shipper S/V Kwai in the South Pacific. All those intrigued by the notion of a sailing barge are welcome at Transition Brockville’s free, public presentation on Sunday at the library. Transition Brockville (TB) was founded by local residents six years ago to provide a non-partisan forum for sharing information about how each of us, in our daily lives, can help to slow the rate of global warming, reduce our dependence on depleting fossil fuels, and adapt to the impacts of peak oil and climate change. TB sponsors a program that allows people to borrow a watt meter from the Brockville Public Library to measure the electricity used by various appliances and electronic equipment in their homes. For more information about Transition Brockville, visit transitionbrockville.com or call Hugh Campbell, 613-345-2712. Presentations during July and August will be held on the Saturday before the fourth Sunday (July 27 and August 24, this year) at the library, a partner with TB in offering these presentations.

Leeds Grenville Mental Health has new home By CONAN de VRIES

EMC News - People in and around Prescott in need of counselling or treatment of mental health problems can now visit an attractive new facility to avail themselves of all the services they require. The third floor of Prescott’s town hall, located at 360 Dibble St. W., is the new home of Leeds Grenville Mental Health (LGMH) and of a satellite office for BGH’s Elmgrove outpatient services. The new location will also provide a space in which several other community agencies can provide their resources to residents in need— among them the Mental Health Support Network, a local legal clinic and Tri County Addiction Services. The new location is not only more spacious than the groups’ previous home in an office on King Street, but it’s fully accessible, with elevator access to the third floor, and it’s much more versatile, with room for expansion into as-yet-unused office space. Tastefully furnished and brightly decorated, the facility is welcoming and quiet and ought to help put those visiting at ease. “It’s a respectful and accessible space for staff and clients,” says Dr. Robert Malone, chief of psychiatry at

Leeds Grenville Mental Health and Elmgrove Outpatient Services have moved their Prescott offices from King Street to a more spacious facility in the town hall building. Last week, there was an open house to introduce the new location and many staff members and allied service providers were in attendance, including (back, from left) Tim Mack, Dr. Robert Malone, Sheri Gendron, Brent Dalgleish, Bob Seed, (front, from left) Tracy Gill, Laurie Dube, Dulcie Denison, Cathy Palfrey, Maureen Crawford and Linda Peever. BGH. Last week, LGMH and Elmgrove held an open house to introduce the new facility to the public and to spread the word that such services are available in Prescott. “The sad thing is a lot of people don’t know we’re here,” says LGMH case worker Dulcie Dennison. At any given time, Leeds Grenville Mental Health has about 100 cases open, leaving no doubt as to the need for their services. Clients work with either or both a social worker, who provides therapeutic services, and a case worker, who can provide advice and assistance on practical and day-to-

day matters. For those with more disabling conditions, Elmgrove provides clients access to psychiatric services, and a psychiatric nurse will be on duty at the new office for initial consults and evaluation. Staff at Elmgrove will also work with the local Family Health Team in Prescott to ensure that clients have access to the resources they require. Both LGMH and Elmgrove, as well as the other agencies that will make use of the new facility, are committed to working together to provide the best care to clients, and, in fact, for many clients, such multidisciplinary service isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. “These people are often so sick, they’re a shared responsibility,” said Laurie Dube, chief executive officer of Leeds Grenville Mental Health. “The clients don’t need to know whose roster they’re on, just that they’re getting the help they need.” Bringing together all these requisite services in one spot is helpful to both clients and those providing their care, and both will find the new offices at 360 Dibble St. to their liking. “It’s created a very welcoming environment,” said Sheri Gendron, a registered nurse with Elmgrove. “It’s a beautiful location.” The move would not have been possible, however, without extensive renovations and upgrades to the third floor, which was originally the upper story of a high school, and these refurbishments were greatly supported by the Southeast Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). “They went out of their way. They really helped us,” said Malone. All present at the open house, clients and staff alike, are in no doubt that the move was a good one and that the support provided by the LHIN will be for the benefit of all. “It’s a good investment in the community,” said Malone.

Morrisburg’s Upper Canada Playhouse celebrates 30th season EMC Entertainment - Morrisburg’s Upper Canada Playhouse celebrates three decades of producing professional live theatre in the Seaway Valley. It’s a remarkable journey that has taken the popular theatre from a tent on the outskirts of town to its present charming location where it entertains an audience of over 43,000 annually. The theatre company has lengthened its season, installed new seating and expanded its box office, administrative and production facilities to accommodate the overwhelming audience growth. It now produces an eight-show season running virtually year-round with 180 performances ranging from its flagship summer comedies to live concerts and

its popular holiday family show. It has become a substantial boost to the local economy and a significant contributor to the quality of life of its community. The theatre, which does not receive public funding, supports its operations and renovations through box office revenues and a thriving sponsorship program it shares with 70 local businesses and organizations that associate themselves with the theatre’s profile. The Playhouse’s catchment area continues to expand and includes the Capitol Region, Brockville, Montreal, Cornwall, Northern New York State and the myriad of smaller communities that lie within these areas. Artistic Director Donnie Bowes reflects on the theatre’s success.

“People are inundated with entertainment options and they’re discerning when making their choices. They want production values, affordability and shows that interest and entertain them. To find all of that in such a quaint location so close to home is a nice discovery.” The Playhouse has garnered a reputation for top-notch productions of comedies. But Bowes points out that this covers quite a span. “Certainly we produce some fabulous farces that make folks forget about their problems for a couple of hours. But we also offer a wide variety of plays that deal with the human condition through a comic lens and make people think about those same problems in new, interesting and entertaining ways. As long as we remain relevant to our audience we’ll be

here for 30 more years. At least.” Getting the ball rolling for the season, from June 6 through 30, will be the hilarious comedy ‘Whose Wives Are They, Anyway?’ by Michael Parker. It’s just the kind of sparkling comedy that has made this thriving professional theatre such a success with most performances sold out before the show even opens. John and David, executives of a major cosmetic company, are about to get a new boss. Fearing this may be their last time off for a while, they send their wives on a shopping trip so they can enjoy a golfing weekend. When the boss coincidentally arrives at the same club, the guys learn that company policy frowns on employees vacationing without their wives and the boss demands to meet them. John desperately recruits the receptionist to

be his wife while David convinces John to be his! All goes well until their real wives show up and the hilarious coverup begins.

Joshua Bates Centre plans exciting shows EMC Entertainment - Four exciting and entertaining shows have been lined up by the Joshua Bates Performing Arts Committee in Athens for their 20132014 season. First up on Thursday, Sept. 13 is the youngest ever CCMA Rising Star nominee, country singer and entertainer, Brett Kissel. It only takes a moment to realize that Kissel is an honest-to-goodness musician. Many first-time fans do not know that Kissel is also a fifth generation honest-to-goodness rancher from Flat Lake Alberta. When you listen to Kissel sing about faith and tradition, about hard work, tough times and tough people, you’re not just hearing songs about the country, you’re hearing songs from

From “Under the Flapper’s Fringe”: Rockport Prohibition Days Aug. 16-18 encourages period dress For the festival the Cornwall’s Point beer tent will be named “Zelda’s Speakeasy” in honour of the poster girl, Zelda Fitzgerald, a prototypical flapper and the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of “The Great Gatsby”. When you’re asked who sent you, answer “Zelda”. Flappers’ dresses were either shorter with a fringe, or longer with a flounce, but all were straight and loose with the waistline usually at the hips. Flappers had the freedom to breathe and walk and move more easily. The Roaring Twenties era was also the Jazz Age and with jazz came dancing, and a flapper’s popular pastime was dancing. Flappers dated freely and danced wildly. They wanted more from their lives and set out to experience ‘everything’. Ladies - deck yourself out in a forehead tiara or feather-adorned headband, a long feathery boa, and a few lengths of glittery pearls. Gents - Dress up as a gangster! Because of the illegal alcohol activity, gangsters were

ever-present in the twenties. Jazz up with a fedora, a vest, suspenders, striped shirts. Slap on a moustache and slick back your hair. The onsite ‘Roaring Rockport Relics’ kiosk will carry inexpensive costume accessories for ladies and gents. Or come dressed as a rum-running “River Rat”…those local Rockport fellows who considered smuggling whiskey as more of a sport to make a few “clams” (dollars), and not a dishonourable profession at all. Everyone may “strut their stuff” in the festival’s fashion show…If you are interested contact dianne.phillips@xplornet.com. Dance the Charleston at the street dance on Friday night in Rockport or at the “Flappers’ Ball” on Saturday night at Caiger’s Waterfront Resort to the tunes of our live bands dressed in period costume. Look for our future articles “Under the Flapper’s Fringe” here in the EMC or on the festival website at www.rockportthousandislands.com.

EMC Entertainment – ‘Forty & Fabulous!’ has become the theme for the Thousand Islanders Chorus this year, as they celebrate 40 years of four part a cappella in Brockville. It was certainly the theme for their party on June 1 when friends from far and wide gathered to help them celebrate this milestone. Under the direction of BJ Vermue from Osgoode the group performed several pieces from their current repertoire. Former directors Dave Carr, Cally Tripp, Jane Dargie and Ann Foy were there to help with the celebrations and to exchange “remember whens” with friends gathered for the occasion. Where ever a cappella singers are gathered, music isn’t far behind: the afternoon also featured performances from guest choruses and quartets from Kingston and Ottawa as well as an Alumni Chorus in which former members joined the chorus on the risers to delight the crowd and to demonstrate that “just like riding a bike, it all comes back to you.” The chorus performs year round in Brockville and area, and rehearses at First Baptist Church (Pine Street, Brockville) every Wednesday at 7 p.m. between September and June. Additional information is available at www.thousandislanders.com.

EMC Events - A “flapper” was the new woman of the 1920s. The First World War had just ended. The world had lost its innocence and young women were beginning to challenge their traditional role in society. The word “flapper” may have derived from a young bird flapping its wings while learning to fly. You may very well ask…what exactly might be ‘under a flapper’s fringe’? Well, you might find a glitzy garter, tied neatly to a shapely “gam” (leg). And that garter might very well be holding a small hip flask filled with alcohol. If the flapper was a gangster’s “moll” (girlfriend) she might even have a small “gat” (gun) under her garter. Some flappers donned high-topped boots in which they could conceal a small flask, which led to the term “bootlegging”. Contempt for Prohibition was a key factor in the rise of the flapper. The public openly consumed alcohol and loved the social life of the “speakeasy” (any establishment selling illegal alcoholic beverages).

On top of all this, many seniors give far more hours of their time to unpaid community projects than the average volunteer does.

They are typically more

Many people can’t get away from the notion that seniors just sit around in rocking chairs and watch TV all day. Yet nothing could be further from the truth! Most retired people are physically active and stay connected with what is happening in society. They cultivate passions they had previously abandoned due to lack of time and take up grandparenting with enthusiasm.

Do you dream of slowing down the effects of ageing? If so, you’d better get moving. No matter how old you are it is always possible to maintain or improve your health by adding some sort of physical activity to your routine. Better balance and a higher degree of independence are among the many benefits that seniors gain from exercise. Physical activity also tends to reduce the risk of falls and injury and helps prevent heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, type-two diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Best of all, it just makes people feel better! Start gradually but aim to do at least two and a half hours of moderate or intense physical activity every week. Any exercise that lasts longer than ten minutes counts. Biking and brisk walking are considered to be moderate activities if your heart rate increases and you are capable of talking but not singing while you are moving. Intense physical exercise includes jogging and cross country skiing. During this kind of activity, you need to catch your breath after a few words because of an increased heart rate. Don’t forget to strengthen your muscles and your bones with twice weekly sessions of an activity such as stretching, yoga, walking, weights, climbing stairs, and sit-ups or push-ups. These will invigorate your heart and mind. Get in the habit of looking for opportunities to do some exercise, whether it means going to the park with your grandchildren, walking up the stairs instead of taking an escalator, walking to and from the grocery store instead of going by car, or getting off the bus a few stops from home. Even if you’re not used to it now, you’ll soon see that exercise can be a real source of enjoyment.

Where do most seniors prefer to live? The vast majority of elderly people want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, hopefully until the end of their lives. If you have an ageing parent who wants to avoid moving into a retirement home, you can support the goal of independence by following a few of these tips. - Help your parent organize important information. Install a notice board in a central location and use it to keep track of all appointments, telephone calls to be made, medications to take, and emergency contact numbers. - A bad fall followed by hospitalization can radically change the life of a senior. Go through your parent’s home together and clear away any obstacles from hallways and stairs, replace any burnt bulbs, and install night lights in hallways. - Many accidents occur in the bathroom, so install safety equipment such as grab bars near the toilet and bath,

non-slip bathmats, and sufficient lighting. - The early detection of illnesses can often make a difference in how independent a senior is in the long term. Be sure that your parent consults his or her doctor, optometrist, and other health professionals on a regular basis. Better still, go along on appointments to make sure that all care instructions are clear and that

your parent can follow them. Improperly fitting clothes and shoes are dangerous. Baggy sleeves can catch fire at the stove and floppy slippers can cause a fall. Check your parent’s footwear. Are shoes properly soled with a good gripping material? Throw away worn shoes and slippers and give away any clothes that are too loose-fitting.

A few simple measures can help seniors independently in their homes for much longer.

With mentoring, everyone’s a winner and pitfalls that could hinder their rise to success or harm their work/family balance. Some say the perfect balance of experience, wisdom, and dynamism is acquired after the age of 50, although proven success in one’s field could make a good mentor of an adult of any age. Mentoring can take diverse forms; it could involve exchanging e-mails with a student who would like to join the same profession, giving specific help to a person during a period of transition, or cultivating a long-lasting relationship with someone through regular mentoring sessions or informal meetings. Are you cut out to be a mentor? You might just have what it takes to be a role model for a young adult who wants to know how to get where you are.

Seasoned workers and professionals have a lifetime of experience and knowledge that has great value, and they know the time has come to transfer it to another generation. Young adults, newly arrived on the job market, have up-to-date education and job skills, but they might lack long-term strategies to attain their goals. For both groups, there is a beneficial scenario that can bring them both just what they need: mentoring. For mentors, this kind of intergenerational exchange is an opportunity to transfer their professional legacy, accumulated over many years, to the next generation. It can be a source of fulfillment and stimulation during their last few years in the job market, all while allowing them to see things from a more youthful point of view. For mentorees, there is the advantage of a privileged relationship with someone who has already gone down that road. Their mentors are advisors who possess valuable networks of contacts and who can help them set professional priorities. Mentors can also help younger professionals avoid the traps

Double the visitors, double the fun for Doors Open EMC Entertainment - Doors Open in Brockville and the Thousand Islands was a huge success this year as more than 5,500 visitors toured the record number of 37 sites. The organizers were delighted with the turnout as it was twice the number of visitors that participated in the program in 2012. The most popular site with 1,500 people was the Private Tackaberry Collection near Athens where antique vehicles were on display in three large garages.

3rd Annual

Visitors were lined up down the road waiting for the opening time of 10 a.m. Thanks to the generosity of George Tackaberry and publicity by local newspapers, local people realized that this was a unique opportunity to view the collection. Many other sites had record number of visitors as well. The theme Cultural Expressions encouraged sites to showcase local talent. There were many art displays in such venues as Long Point Schoolhouse, Joshua Bates Centre

TALLMAN TRUCK CENTRE LTD. Presents

and Dewar’s Inn. The first recital of the refurbished organ was held in St. Lawrence Anglican Church. Burnbrae Farms opened their barns to tours to show the inside workings of this famous family business. Despite the cool weather, there was a large showing at both gardens on the tour: Garden of Faith and Hope Walk and Maitland Garden of Hope. The thousands of visitors came for many different reasons. One Brockville resident ventured out both days to see the “inside of places we have seen around town.” Another said it was “a good opportunity to take part in a community event.” Some liked the heritage and art components while others were interested in a specific location such as the Brockville Armouries. A Hamilton Ontario resident mentioned that it has become a summer tradition to visit other cities for Doors Open. Having the opportunity to see well-known sites for free was a great

draw. As well, many visitors came from across Canada and North America. Visitor surveys listed such distant Canadian spots as Vancouver, Edmonton and Inuvik as well as American states of Tennessee and South Carolina. A family from Michigan reunited with distant cousins in Mallorytown over the weekend and went on a village walking tour. Germany, New Zealand, Columbia, and Australia were the homes of other guests. The organizers want to thank the many volunteers at the sites, the publicity by local media and the generous sponsors. Congratulations to the winners of the gift baskets Pat Stephenson, Andrea Ruston, Gail Abrams and Bernice Hogan. All those involved in the Doors Open program felt it was an exciting weekend for local heritage and are already making plans to open new doors in 2014.

As our AGM cannot accommodate a full debate, we have decided to reschedule Dr. Schuklenk’s presentation to a larger venue as part of a community information and debate event on this topic.” BGH will present Tony Weeks, the new President and CEO, as keynote speaker on June 17. Weeks will talk about creating a new vision for the hospital based on sustainability, change and high performance. There will also be updates on the Interim Mental Health (Third Floor Renovation) Project, and the proposed Capital Build. Following the AGM, Brockville General Hospital will move forward with creating a new venue for the local debate, in partnership with any interested parties in the community.

Brockville General Hospital AGM presentation rescheduled EMC News - Due to significant public interest in the keynote presentation for Brockville General Hospital’s (BGH) 128th Annual General Meeting set for June 17, BGH has decided to reschedule the presentation at a larger venue in the near future. Dr. Udo Schuklenk, Professor of Philosophy at Queen’s University and Ontario Research Chair in Bioethics, was booked to present, “Why Canada Should Decriminalize Assisted Suicide and Voluntary Euthanasia” at the hospital’s AGM this month. On behalf of the Royal Society of Canada, Dr. Schuklenk chaired an international expert panel drafting a report on end-of-life decision-making in Canada which was released in late 2011. His presentation is based on that report. “We received a mixed response to our keynote presentation,” says BGH President and CEO Tony Weeks. “Naturally, people are divided on this im-

EMC News – Students were literally shaking with excitement after hearing the news that they won the grand prize in the Get Up and Move! Challenge. Twenty students from Academie catholique Ange-Gabriel will be heading to Montreal, June 15-16, for a weekend they won’t soon forget. Over the past month, from April 29 to May 27, students were building “energy cubes” at school, during their free time. The more than 50,000 energy cubes the school built represented 15 minutes of physical activity each, activity that would raise heart rate. Students logged their times and totals were tallied each week. Sixty three schools in Ontario were part of the competition, with five picked to attend. Overall there will be 4,200 students taking part and 800 adults in attendance. The competition will see students coming from Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec. People participated from across Canada and even France. In order to achieve the 50,000 cubes collected, students, parents and staff from Academie catholique Ange-Gabriel, the entire school family, put on special events and outings in order to build these cubes and to have fun together at the same time. Natasha Boudreau, teacher and co-organizer of the Get Up and Move Challenge at the local school, along with fellow teacher Martine Blais were blown away with the news. “I am pretty excited. I am happy my friends could go too,” said Grade 3 student Evan Munro. He explained he and his friends did sports such as basketball, “almost every night.” Océanne and Chloé Lapointe, in sixth and third grades respectively, were “so excited” when they heard the news they couldn’t hold the happy tears back. It was like “Christmastime” for them. Munro and the Lapointe sisters are all taking

part in the trip. The weekend itself will feature a number of exciting activities, taking place in Montreal on June 15 and 16 at the Olympic Stadium and La Ronde. They will be there when the secondary school runners arrive, as well as Pierre Lavoie and the 1,000 km cycle participants pull in. The weekend will also include a concert, special presentations and a magic show. Spearheading the challenge is Lavoie, known as “the man with a big heart and an iron will.” Known for his accomplishments in Ironman competitions, Lavoie has had two children die from a condition known as lactic acidosis. It’s a condition for which there is no known cure. Lavoie has dedicated many of his endeavours to raising both awareness and funds for this disease. Patrick Lamon, director for Academie catholique Ange-Gabriel, feels physical education is very important to teach children early on in life. He feels instilling the important habit of being active is essential in youth, in order for them to have a healthy lifestyle as they grow up and into adulthood. “Physical activity is crucial for our students and for every child,” Lamon emphasized. Lamon had been at a school board event and had the fortunate experience of hearing Lavoie speak. He was immediately moved and knew Boudreau was the person to bring this kind of initiative to the students locally. Boudreau was sold on Lavoie, and his challenge, before she even met him. According to a press release from the school, “excited to be pioneers of this project, participating in the grand prize is icing on the cake. Organizers anticipate this will have a lasting effect on students, parents and staff and hope they will continue to build energy cubes as a lifelong lifestyle choice. “Knowing that physical activity is essential for obtaining optimum health, they strive to instill this in every one of their students.”

EMC News - It was a lifechanging visit to the former front lines of the First World War, but even before Bailey Whitehouse got off the plane in France, she had already taken a moving trip into the past. “It was an amazing adventure back in time,” she said during a special presentation last week at the Legion in Prescott. But she wasn’t talking about her recent trip to France and Belgium as one of 20 students from across the country selected to participate in the Vimy Pilgrimage program. She was talking about the interviews she did prior to her departure with veteran Bob Nuttall. In order to qualify for the Vimy Pilgrimage Award, Whitehouse had to interview and write a report on a veteran. The local Legion put the 16-year-old in touch with Nuttall, a retired major and former president of the Prescott branch now living in Kingston. Whitehouse and her mother, Shirley, spent many hours interviewing Nuttall and hearing firsthand an account of a soldier’s life in both World War II and the Korean War. The stories opened their eyes, sometimes wet them too. But there were also many smiles and laughs. Not only did Whitehouse get the insight she was looking for in order to complete her application to the Vimy Foundation, she developed a deep friendship with her subject. During her presentation to a large crowd at the Legion last Thursday, Whitehouse’s admiration for Nuttall was evident and, in fact, seemed mixed with a touching trace of hero worship. “He will be an inspiration to many generations to come, and he is a true hero in my mind,” said Whitehouse. It was also clear that the admiration Whitehouse had for Nuttall was reciprocal, and when Whitehouse asked Nuttall, who joined

several other veterans at the presentation, for a special favour, he couldn’t refuse. “When it comes to Bailey Whitehouse,” said Nuttall, “I’d do just about anything.” It seems that during their many interviews, Nuttall impressed the Whitehouses with his singing ability and his flare for poetry, so Bailey wondered if Nuttall might give the crowd at the Legion a taste of his talent. Indeed he did. The 89-yearold surprised the crowd with a smooth and strong singing voice and a remarkable rendition of ‘Night of China’ in both English and Japanese. He then recited Kipling’s ‘Gunga Din’ in its entirety and received a respectful standing ovation in return. It was then time for Whitehouse to provide an account of her trip to Europe. “It was the trip of a lifetime,” she said. Whitehouse joined 19 other young men and women, between the ages of 14 and 17, on a wideranging tour of the many museums, monuments and memorials that commemorate the impact of the Great War on the people and places involved. Whitehouse broke down several times describing some of the places she visited, particularly when telling of the sheer numbers of dead marked by the many monuments she saw. Her trip began with a visit to Wellington Quarry and a walking tour of Arras, where she got a look at a carefully-preserved battlefield, including a long trench system. She then moved on to the Beaumont-Hamel memorial and Vimy Ridge. “The Vimy Ridge Memorial itself is breathtaking,” said Whitehouse. The group then took in the Hill 62 Sanctuary Wood museum, St. Julien Canadian memorial and Ulster Tower memorial. The next stop was Tyne Cot Cemetery,

where lie many members of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, who fought so valiantly and died in grievously large numbers during the First World War. Six of the students on the pilgrimage tour were from Newfoundland. Before leaving Tyne Cot, they found some time to break away from the larger group for a private wreath-laying. Then the group visited the Thiepval Memorial, which acknowledges the loss of more than 70,000 unknown soldiers during the grotesque Battle of the Somme. Essex Farm Cemetery was next on the itinerary, and for a Canadian, the site is particularly meaningful, for it is the former location of a World War I field hospital outside of which Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote ‘In Flanders Fields.’ The group took an opportunity to read the poem amid the rows of headstones that now mark the place. “We had the privilege to recite it on that very spot,” said Whitehouse. The final stop on the journey through time was the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium, where Whitehouse laid a Canadian and Ontario flag, provided her by MP Gord Brown and MPP Steve Clark. “This was an extremely touching moment,” said Whitehouse. “The flags are now in the archives and will remain there.” After an emotionally-wrenching week spent touring battlefields and war memorials, the group had the opportunity to relax a little bit and enjoy a tour of Paris before returning home. At the conclusion of Whitehouse’s presentation at the Legion, Nuttall once again took the floor, with another poem—this one to honour the ladies of the Legion and Whitehouse in particular. “She is the personification of ‘lady’,” he said, “and what a woman she is going to be.”

“Having a Heart for Healthy Hearts” benefits many in the community By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – An upcoming golf tournament, while still two months away, has been busy and active in the community with events and publicity. The third annual Brockville Community Care and Share Tourney takes place on Friday, Aug. 23 at the Brockville Highland Golf Club, 3111 Parkedale Ave., with a four-person scramble format, rain or shine. This tournament is a day to raise awareness and funds for the Brockville General Hospital Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program, sharing 20 per cent of the proceeds with three partners. These partners are the Brockville Civitan Club for their charity the Brockville and Area Special Olympics, Brockville Kinsmen Club for Operation Harvest Sharing Food Bank and Cystic Fibrosis, as well as the Brockville Lions Club for Vision Programs. For those not familiar with the cardiovascular team, they provide monitoring exercise programs, psychosocial counselling, risk factor identification, nutritional counseling, education, stress management, smoking cessation, availability of a support group and vocational counselling. For these services the program relies on the charity of the residents of Leeds and Grenville. When the Brockville Community Care and Share committee decided to have a golf tournament they needed a chair and they approached Adrian Geraghty. “Back in 2011 I got a telephone call while I was still working, to see if I would chair an upcoming event that was going to replace the prostate cancer that the Brockville Highland Golf Club and some folks had run for years,” said Tourney chair Adrian Geraghty. “So I gladly accepted it being that this is the first time in Brockville that the Civitan Club, Kinsmen Club and Lions have worked together on a project. They asked if I would chair, I didn’t think about it too long and said yes, let’s do it for the community.” Geraghty continued to indicate that the cardiovascular unit at the Brockville

Missing from the photo are Don Russell (Brockville Kinsmen Club) and Mike Galbraith (Brockville Lions Club). General Hospital is not funded by the provincial government. “For the people who go through the program they had to go to Kingston or Ottawa and with the price of gas and for the families that have to take the time off work to drive a loved one or whatever may be,” stated Geraghty, “why not do something within the City of Brockville so they do not have to travel.” In addition to the upcoming golf tournament, the 10 members of the Brockville Community Care and Share com-

mittee also held barbecues. One was at the grand opening of The Butcher Shop on Highway 29, as well as at the two Brockville General Hospital sites Charles Street and Garden Street. Through the generosity of Rick and Tanya Orr, the committee raised $1,200 from the barbecue. All year round this committee is planning and a fun day will be taking place in November which is a cross country scramble golf tournament. This will be at the Brockville Highland Golf Club

along with a chili lunch. Having a Heart for Healthy Hearts Golf Tournament The entry fee for playing in the golf tournament on Aug. 23 is $100 per person which includes the use of a golf cart, 18-holes of golf, a buffet dinner at the Brockville Legion and lots of fun, as the score is not important. There will be a Hole-in-One prize, a car from Riverside Group on Hole Number Three and $25,000 from Brockville Highland Golf Club on Hole Number

Rock-A-Thon and Bake Sale raises over $7,200 for CPHC EMC Entertainment – On June 1, Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC) hosted its seventh annual Rock-A-Thon and Bake Sale fundraising event, in Delta and Westport, which raised $7,217.74. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be designated for CPHC Community Support Services in the Rideau Lakes, Westport, and Althorpe/ Bolingbroke area. These services include Caregiver Support and Services, Meals on Wheels, Client Intervention, Diners Clubs, Foot Care Clinics, Friendly Visiting, Home Help/ Homemaking, Home Maintenance and Repair, Transportation and Telephone Reassurance. Focus is on raising awareness of services available within the community and increasing funds available for direct service for those in need. The event was a great success and a memorable day at both sites. To help celebrate the event on hand were Abby Lyons, Rebekah Kellington, the North/South Revue, Herman Amburger and Glenn Russell in Westport and Marilyn Ruest, Pete’n’Annie and an Elvis Impersonator (Dan Stoness) in Delta, showering us with their amazing musical talents.

Raffle winners were drawn June 3 the Ministry of Health, United Way, and private donations. and winners are: Sarah Smith of Ath- client/business fees ens, Betty Rocca of Brockville, Peter Campbell of Westport. CPHC is a non-profit registered, charitable organization funded through

15. “There used to do a ball drop, instead we are selling raffle tickets for three monetary cash prizes, first, second and third,” offered Geraghty. “We will be selling at fairs in the county because it is not just Brockville people that use this service; it’s all of Leeds and Grenville. We’ll be in Mallorytown, Athens and other areas.” Cost is $2 for one and $5 for three. These tickets are available from Kinsmen, Lions and Civitan Clubs, as well as the Brockville Community Care and Share members and Brockville Highland Golf Club. “After the tournament is over everybody will go to the Royal Canadian Legion, 180 Park St., for the buffet dinner. After the silent auction, we will give out prizes and the raffle; then the total will be announced at that time,” said Geraghty. If someone does not golf, but wants to attend the buffet dinner, the cost is $25. The public is invited to bid on the items in the Silent Auction and can do so at Brockville Highland Golf Club while people are golfing or at the Royal Canadian Legion till it closes off. If you would like to become involved as a volunteer, you can park cars, carry golf bags to the carts, assist in registration and help in many other ways. For those who want to support this event, even businesses, a donation to the Silent Auction, a financial donation or a sponsorship would be very well appreciated. In the last two years, the funds raised amounted to $75,000. According to Geraghty about $4,099 has been given to each service club for the two prior years. “It helps a lot of people in the community (to make this happen),” said Geraghty. “That’s what it is all about.” Geraghty encourages people to sign up early so as not to be disappointed.

Under cloudy skies, the Thousand Islands Habitat for Humanity volunteers Cheryl Pickens, Kim Slade, 1000 Islands Mall marketing coordinator Sarah Laturnus, ReStore chairman Bob Smith, ReStore manager Ken Hunter and Robert Kirk assisted the public with recycling electronic items. In addition to the bin at the 1000 Islands Mall, Brockville, the ReStore truck was also on site to receive televisions, radios, telephones, computers, stereos, toasters and anything electronic without fluids. In 2012, this chapter ranked sixth compared to other Habitat for Humanity sites, recycling 158,000 tons of e-waste. The 1000 Islands Mall also selected this charity to receive $500, which was presented recently. All of this along with a fundraising barbecue took place on Saturday, June 8.

Recording artist Justin Hines to address Sweet’s Corners students about bullying

EMC News - Paddlers, local and visiting, novice and expert, can choose from a new selection of paddling tours this season within the region. The Frontenac Arch Paddling Trails committee has partnered with 1000 Islands Kayaking to offer five premium paddling tours, starting with two this spring. Proceeds from the non-profit fully outfitted tours will help fund regional paddling infrastructure projects. Common to each of the five tours offered this year is a day-long paddling experience along a regional waterway in the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, and the chance to make new friends. The cost of $85 for each tour, which includes a special guest speaker for uniquely themed tours, certified instructors and guides from 1000 Islands Kayaking, onthe-water professional interpretation, and gourmet local flavours lunch. Bring your own kayak, canoe and gear or rent from 1000 Islands Kayaking for $25. Unique to each tour is the route, theme, interpreter, food, participants, the weather, and the wildlife. This is an excellent opportunity to explore some of the best paddling routes within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. Tour dates, locations, and themes: • May 25, Delta to Morton, Local Flavours, • June 22, Seeley’s Bay to Jones Falls, Rideau Canal, Patron’s Choice, • Sept. 7, Navy Islands, Ivy Lea, 1000 Islands, International Bridge, • Sept. 21, Frontenac Provincial Park, Frontenac Arch Biosphere Geology and Ecosystems, • Oct. 5, Charleston Lake Provincial Park, Photography, Birding, Fall Colours. The first tour is scheduled for Saturday, May 25, launching from Delta. The route will literally take participants up a creek, with a paddle. The theme is Local Flavours. Participants will have an opportunity to tour Delta’s historic Old Stone Mill and even purchase flour ground there. Lunch will be provided at Wendy’s Country Market in Lyndhurst. A hay wagon ride from the river to the farm will make this a genuine ‘farm to fork’ dining experience to promote awareness of our region’s Local Flavours program.

Larsen Syndrome has presented him with an unusual set of challenges, but he has not let any of that slow him down or keep him from his goal.

EMC Events - It isn’t every day that a Canadian recording artist takes time out of his busy life and schedule to stop at Sweet’s Corners Elementary School to visit the students. “Justin Hines, Canadian recording artist, will be coming to Sweet’s Corners ES on Friday, June 21 to discuss anti-bullying with our students, and is likely going to sing a song for us,” said Trisha Johnston of the school. “Everyone is looking forward to this amazing opportunity.” Best known for hits like “Tell Me I’m Wrong” and “Say What You Will”, Hines will be stopping at the school for 20 minutes to talk to them about bullying. For those who are less familiar with his music, he is also the voice of “There’s no place like this – Ontario”,

the official tourism song and slogan for the province. Hines started out life pretty much the way most people do – surrounded by family and friends, pursuing his hopes and dreams. He began singing in the church choir and at the age of 14 won a vocal competition to sing the Canadian and U.S National Anthems at a Toronto Raptors’ basketball game. This led him on to greater heights, and it wasn’t long before he was on his way to a career in the recording industry. But this doesn’t mean he’s always had it easy. Hines suffers from Larsen Syndrome, a joint dislocation condition that requires he spend his time in a wheelchair. In his bio, he states, “The reality is I don’t really look at my situation as that big a deal. We all have things that challenge us, just some people’s are a

Buck Lake Boatilla for Easter Seals on June 29 EMC Events - It’s anchors away for the Buck Lake Community to commence its ninth annual fundraiser to send children with physical disabilities to Easter Seals Camp Merrywood on Big Rideau Lake. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 29 on scenic Buck Lake and as in previous years, will consist of a Boatilla tour of the Lake followed by a community barbecue and cheque presentation to Easter Seals representatives at Hidden Valley Camp Grounds. This community event began nine

years ago when a small group of Buck Lakers got together with the dream of providing children with physical disabilities the opportunity to partake in outdoor activities on Buck Lake. Together, they decided to hold a community fundraising Boatilla and BBQ to help raise funds for Easter Seals to help send children with physical disabilities to Camp Merrywood. That first year in 2003, the Buck Lake Community raised over $3,000 and sent one child to camp. Each year, the event became better known and more members of the community have be-

come involved. To date, after eight years, the Buck Lakers have raised over $86,000 and sent 43 children to Camp Merrywood. The Buck Lakers were recently awarded a 2011 Easter Seals Spirit of Giving Award, bestowed upon organizations that have made large financial donations to Easter Seals Ontario, and as a result, increased awareness of the organization within their community. “We are looking forward to hosting another successful Boatilla this year. This event has been built on a legacy of dedicated and successful

community involvement to help send children with physical disabilities to camp,” said Bruce Archibald, Buck Lake Boatilla Committee representative. “The focus of the community and its supporting activities remains unchanged since its inception which is, ‘all about the kids!’” A founding principle of the Buck Lake Community was that all monies raised by the Boatilla would be dedicated to sending children to Camp Merrywood. Due to their specialized care, it costs $2,000 for a child to attend the 10 day overnight Camp Merrywood program. One hundred per cent of all funds generated have been donated to Easter Seals Ontario. Not one cent of funds raised over the years has been diverted to compensate for expenses associated with the Boatilla and barbecue. These expenses have been met by the kind contribution of goods and services from individuals, groups and community businesses which believe in this cause. For its small size, the Buck Lake Community has achieved impressive results both in terms of the number of children it has sponsored for Camp Merrywood and in building a sense of community awareness for a great cause. The mission to send children to camp has grown to a passion for those involved and has resulted in ownership of the Boatilla by the

Flooring

Buck Lake community. For its dedication and generosity, the Buck Lake Community received the 2011 Easter Seals Spirit of Giving Award, an award which recognizes associations who have unselfishly promoted the mission of Easter Seals by generating significant revenue and increasing awareness of the organization in the community. Over the years, the annual Boatilla has achieved positive results in building community relations within the environs of Buck Lake and this has been a significant benefit alongside meeting the needs of children with physical disabilities. For the past 90 years, Easter Seals Ontario has been offering programs and services to help children and youth with physical disabilities achieve a greater level of acceptance and independence. Since 1922, Easter Seals Ontario has provided families of children with physical disabilities with financial assistance for expensive mobility equipment and communication devices such as walkers, braces, and wheelchairs, fully accessible Easter Seals camps, and funding for alternative recreational programs. For more information or to donate, please visit www.easterseals.org. io.

REAL ESTATE CONNECTION A WEEKLY GUIDE TO REAL ESTATE IN THE PRESCOTT, BROCKVILLE AND GANANOQUE AREAS

Many ways to save water this summer According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, saving water is one of the easiest ways to improve efficiency in the home during the summer months. To Dorner, “Homeowners should know that when it comes to saving water, every little bit counts. So get that leaky faucet fixed, make sure your sprinkler is properly adjusted and pay attention to the weather forecast – you may not need to be watering your lawn.”

the home: • Install water-efficient toilets and low-flow showerheads in your kitchen and bathrooms • Keep a jug of drinking water in the fridge to avoid waiting for cold running water • If you have a dishwasher, only wash full loads and use the energy saver or shortest cycle • Whether you are preparing food or brushing your teeth, don’t let the tap run • Fix leaky taps and toilets • Use a high-efficiency front loadThe City of Toronto has some ing washing machine, and run only great tips to save water this summer full loads. and all year long: Summer garden watering tips and Year-round water saving ideas for tricks courtesy of the City of To-

Five ways to make sure you are buying the right home EMC Lifestyle - With real estate high season in full swing, homes are moving fast and buyers and sellers are keen to get deals signed, sealed and delivered so that they can enjoy their new home and start their new lives. Since a home is life’s biggest investment, it probably comes as no surprise that this is an emotionally charged decision. In fact, a recent Bank of Montreal report found that 80 per cent of prospective homebuyers know if a house is the right one for them the moment they step inside. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, while that initial feeling is important, buyers should keep in mind that there are several other factors to consider before making a final decision. “There is no doubt that the initial impression and emotional connection to a property is key but buyers should keep in mind the important logistical questions as well,” says Dorner. Here are five important steps for prospective buyers to take before making any decisions: Talk to the neighbours: The best

way to get an idea of what it would be like to live in a particular neighbourhood is to talk to someone who already lives there. Chat with neighbours about the community, schools, commute and any potential surprises that you should know about. Work with a local realtor: Look for a realtor who works in the area and knows the ins and outs of the community. Asking friends, family and colleagues for references is a great place to start. Another good way to find a realtor active in the area is to go to open houses in the neighbourhood. Know what you can afford: Start by figuring out your Gross Debt Service (GDS) Ratio. This ratio is a calculation of the maximum housing payment that you can afford, including your mortgage, property taxes, heating and cooling costs and condo fees. To figure out your GDS Ratio, add up your gross monthly income and multiply by 32 per cent. This figure should never exceed 32 per cent of your gross monthly income. Get a home inspection: In Ontario, a home inspection reports on the condi-

tion of the roof, structure, foundation, drainage, heating, cooling, plumbing, insulation, walls, doors and electrical system. The cost of a home inspection can vary so do your research and make sure to choose a qualified home inspector who will also inform you of the scope and limitations of the inspection. Check with the city: Visit your local building department and find out if any new developments are planned. Check to see how many owners have applied to build homes or additions that are larger than the by-law permits – this gives an indication of the neighbourhood’s future. “Although your initial feeling about a property is a powerful force, make sure to follow these five steps to help ensure that you aren’t going to be faced with unwelcome surprises,” says Dorner. When it comes to making a home buying decision, do your homework and be sure to enlist a real estate professional to guide you through the process.

ronto: • Water your lawn in the morning to reduce water lost to evaporation. Avoid night watering –leaving grass wet overnight can promote fungal disease. Before turning on your sprinkler, check the weather – if it’s going to rain, no need to start watering. • Slow down the sprinkler to let water soak in to your lawn. If water is running off your lawn, it’s time to stop. Make sure your sprinkler is aligned so you aren’t watering the sidewalk or driveway. • Disconnect downspouts from the sewer system and use rainwater for grass and gardens. • Know your soil type and the

amount of water this soil can hold (sandy soils can’t hold much water, while clay soils require slow water application to soak in). • Use a rain gauge to measure the amount of water your lawn and garden receive each week from all sources, including rainfall. • Use the right tools: For lawns, use a sprinkler that directs the water close to the ground and roots. For trees, shrubs and flower gardens, use a watering can or drip hose that provides slow and steady amounts of water. Fix your leaking garden hose and connections.

EMC Lifestyle - On any given day, each Ontarian uses around 260 litres of water – nearly twice as much as other countries with similar standards of living. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment reports that pumping and distributing water to homes and businesses, and treating water and wastewater accounts for almost onehalf of a city’s electrical use. What many people don’t realize is that residential water needs account for over 50 per cent of total usage. In the summer, between watering lawns and gardens, washing cars, and filling and backwashing pools, demand for water increases by as much as 80 per cent.

Planting trees and shrubs has many benefits

424807_0613

EMC Lifestyle - Planting a tree in your yard brings countless benefits to your family, neighbourhood and community. Trees offer a combination of aesthetic and environmental perks that contribute to the well-being of communities, while also enhancing the curb appeal of homes. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, “Trees are a true triple threat, in that they offer beauty, function and value – instantly boosting properties and streets. Just make sure that you take into consideration the type of tree that will work best for your yard.” Some of the benefits of tree planting include: Privacy: Trees create a green divide between you and your neighbours, providing a natural barrier. Lower heating/cooling costs: By planting deciduous trees on the south and west side of your home, you will dramatically lower cooling costs in the summer. Planting a tree or shrub to

shade your central air conditioner can also improve the unit’s efficiency by up to 10 per cent. Evergreen trees act as effective wind breakers, decreasing heating costs in the winter. Shade and comfort: Besides lowering cooling costs inside the house, shade from trees cools your yard, making it more pleasant to spend time enjoying the outdoors. Environment: Trees store carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the air. They also help remove dust and particulates, absorbing pollutants from the air. Additionally, trees help recharge groundwater and reduce erosion. Some homeowners may be concerned that they don’t have a large enough lot to plant trees but since there are so many varieties and sizes; there is a tree for all types of yards. Landscaping is a major contributor to the overall liveability and curb appeal of your home so whether you are staying or selling, get planting.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Cornell University and a Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of British Columbia. Stewart’s designation follows the departure of Karen Kinsley, whose term ends on June 16, 2013. On behalf of all CMHC employees, the Board of Directors would like to thank Kinsley for her leadership and contributions to CMHC and Canadians during her 25 year career at CMHC, 10 of which she served as President and CEO. The process to select the next permanent President and CEO, following the Governor in Council appointment process and procedures, is underway. CMHC has been Canada’s national housing agency for more than 65 years. Together with other housing stakeholders, we help ensure that the Canadian housing system remains one of the best in the world. We are committed to helping Canadians access a wide choice of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions that will continue to create vibrant and healthy communities and cities across the country.

Luminaries honour so many during Relay for Life By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – Those individuals who have attended the Luminary Ceremony at a Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life event usually walk away in awe, the impact is that strong. This is the first year for Jana Curtis, lead of the luminaries, to coordinate this section of the Brockville Relay for Life 2013 taking place tomorrow, Friday, June 14 from 7 p.m. to 7 the next morning. At 10 p.m., when the sun has gone down, the oval track at Row’s Corner Fairgrounds will become illuminated by decorated fire-retardant white bags with lit candles inside. “The luminaries are to honour individuals,” said Curtis. “It provides inspiration for the walkers and it’s a very touching ceremony.” People can purchase a luminary for $5 either in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a person who

fought back and won. Curtis and her committee start thinking about the Relay for Life event along with other volunteers in the February time-frame. “As the time passes and we get closer and closer, we become busier because there are more sales,” stated Curtis. “Once we have our supply of luminary bags then it takes off.” Luminary bags can be ordered on-line, at www.relayforlife.ca/ brockville or people can call 613928-2217, or email curtisjm@live. com to place the order and Curtis will fill out the information on the bag, if required. Regardless of the number of bags ordered, no income tax receipt will be given and the luminary bags should be back the day before the Relay for Life. “We estimate how many bags to order to sell,” offered Curtis. “This year our goal is 1,100 bags.”

At the team captains’ meeting bags are given out to sell and the day of the event, bags are still being sold. “We sell luminaries throughout the day (day of event right up to the ceremony),” said Curtis. “We alphabetize them and put them around the track.” For decorating a bag, do not put any script close to the top of the bag, measure down about two inches as the top is folded down over the outside before being placed on the track. Also the candle inside needs air to continue to burn, so do not block the holes in the bag. “We have had some beautifully decorated bags last year,” indicated Curtis. “So if people buy their bags in advance, it gives them the opportunity to decorate the bag the way they want.” In the past, Curtis, has decorated a bag for her father and will be doing so again this year for a very dear

brother-in-law, John. Living in Perth, Curtis became involved with the Lombardy Relay for Life and this is how she was introduced to the walk. When she came to work at the board of education in Brockville, Curtis became friends with an individual who is a cancer survivor and both decided to join. “My father passed away in 1986 and that’s really the inspiration for me to start to do it (become involved),” said Curtis. “I started on a team and they were looking for volunteers to go on the committee, it’s a small committee, so I said I would.” The team Curtis is on this year is the RBC, Relay for Life Brockville Committee. “I really think that if people can attend the Luminary Ceremony at 10 p.m., it is something that is very touching,” said Curtis. “I cannot find the words to describe it.”

Still spots left for Screen for the Cure Golf tournament June 21 According to information provided by Butt, and from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, “Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Every year, more than 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 50,000 people die from it.” And according to promotional material for the golf tournament, “when caught early, colon cancer is 95 per cent curable.”

By MARLA DOWDALL

According to a press release from BGH, thus far the tournament has raised over $120,000. All funds raised stay in the community and go towards colorectal screening equipment for BGH. Submitted photo

Admiring the new Innova scope washer are (from left) BGH CFO Steve Read, BGH OR Manager Cindy Patterson, and Screen for the Cure 2013 Committee members Sharon Clarke, Doris Hallett, Jack Butt, Jamie Wright, Dr. William Redmond and Russ Gaskin. Missing are Austin de Luis, Tom Harrington, Rob Janke, Hugh Bates, Trudy Gibson, Matt Wren, Ian McFall and Robert Castle. The funds raised in the 2012 tournament were used to purchase this new Innova Dual Scope Freestanding Scope Washer worth more than $48,000. This brought the number of scope washers at BGH to three units, substantially increasing capacity to decontaminate equipment.

The release noted those who wish to support the cause may register at the BGH Foundation Office in the BGH Charles Street Site. Tickets for golfing and dinner are $175, while solely for the dinner the cost is $50.

Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m. and raffles and prizes will be announced “It is important to have this con- cer, Butt himself has now reached bodies are their own “thermom- at 7 p.m. For further information his 10th anniversary of being cancer eters” and to listen to how they are please call Doris Hallett at 613-342versation about awareness.” After a diagnosis of colon can- free.

mdowdall@perfprint.ca EMC Events – There are still team spots available for the annual Screen for the Cure Golf Tournament, taking place June 21. All proceeds from this event will be going towards Brockville General Hospital’s colorectal screening. The Brockville Golf and Country Club will be a busy spot that day as registration and lunch begins at 11:30 with the shotgun start scheduled for 12:30 p.m. “The concept is, it’s a golf tournament, but it’s not about golf per se, it’s about education,” emphasized Jack Butt, Screen for the Cure 2013 Committee member during an interview with the St. Lawrence News EMC June 7. “The focus is on screening. For all diseases.” He noted if awareness is raised, people become educated and are able to prevent disease from occurring in the first place, through screening. “If we can prevent disease from occurring we can have an impact on chronic care costs,” he said. Butt noted March was National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and as part of that he feels a “Colonversation” should take place as colorectal cancer is both “preventable and treatable.”

FATHER’S DAY June 16, 2013

A special day designed just for Dad! I don’t know what to buy for my father because he already has everything he needs. The best gift I can think of giving him is some quality time together. I am going to set aside an entire day with him, a day that will include some typically “guy” stuff and not just a few treats. I’ll start off the morning by making us some delicious breakfast, featuring hot flambéed coffees. I know we’ll have fun discussing what’s new in the world over our steaming mugs. Next we’ll set off on a tour of inspection, scrutinizing every nook and cranny in his garage and backyard. He’ll be proud to show me his new lawnmower and the bird houses he built with the tools he was given last Christmas. If he lets me, I’ll join him in finishing up whatever tinkering project he’s working on these days. After that, we’ll be ready for a bit of rest and relaxation with a good bottle

of red wine. We’ll listen to his favourite records and look at some of the old slides that have spent years sitting under a layer of dust at the back of his closet. The highlight of the evening: a sumptuous barbecue worthy of the world’s best Dad. In order for him to demonstrate his skills with the hot coals, I’ll choose a whole piece of meat that we can marinate in herbs and beer all afternoon. Maybe we’ll try a whole pork rump, cooked on the spit. It’ll be so tender and juicy that it will fall off the bone. I’ll have to make some tasty barbecue sauce so we can dip and eat with our hands. To round off the meal, we’ll savour a rare after dinner drink, maybe a good whiskey or a fine cognac. What a great way for us to connect in a way we just don’t seem to have the time for anymore. That’s what I’d call a real Father’s Day celebration.

The highlight of this special day: a scrumptious barbecue with the best cut of meat and a delicious wine for Dad and me. PHOTO: COMSTOCK IMAGES / THINKSTOCK

Spencerville Stampede is back: Gearing up phenomenal second year literally packed in to watch the rodeos. The 2013 New Holland Elite Rodeo Series will return to the Spencerville Fairgrounds July 27-28 for a repeat performance. The first ever Spencerville Stampede in 2012 received an award from the ACEC for “Best New Rodeo” for the flawless efforts and determination by event organizers John and Cora Beking and their entire community. This year brings back another amazing volunteer crew of Karen Charron, John and Jenna Lesniowski, and Anna Van Adrichem-Rochon of the Rotary Club of Kemptville leading an entourage of local Rotarians (as well as many travelling from Ottawa ) to name a few. Headlining this year’s Saturday

night show is Keith Glass from Prairie Oyster and “The Branch” will be onsite cooking up BBQ Beef Brisket. New sponsors BOB FM from Brockville, and Joe Computer from Spencerville will be joining all returning sponsors from last year to greet those who attend as they tour the Western Village. The Spencerville Stampede is also very proud to support the Spencerville “Food for All” Food Bank, who will be onsite raising money for a very worthy cause. The fact 2,500 spectators came out per day in 2012 can’t be wrong. Get your ticket early to ensure your attendance. Tickets are on sale now. For information visit www.spencervillestampede.com

Know the Signs of Lyme Disease ` When hiking or walking in natural areas, wear light coloured clothing, longsleeved shirts, long pants, socks and shoes. Tuck your pants into your socks.

` Insect repellants with DEET also provide protection. Follow directions for use. ` Check yourself for ticks (include armpits, groin, scalp and have someone else check the back of your body). ` Protect your pet; contact your vet.

` Lyme disease is caused by the bite of a black legged tick that is infected with the bacteria. It needs to be attached for 24-36 hours before it is able to transfer the bacteria.

Symptoms: ` A red rash may appear days to weeks after a bite. A bulls-eye rash may be present around the bite. ` Other symptoms of the disease may include fever, headache, fatigue or muscle and joint pain. These may disappear, but if left untreated, Lyme disease can progress and affect the nervous system, joints and the heart.

Consult your doctor if you have been bitten by a tick and are developing the symptoms of Lyme Disease.

44 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, June 13, 2013

EMC lifestyle - Walking into the first of Bob Mitchell’s several sprawling greenhouses, the sweet, earthy smell of ripening tomatoes takes over your senses. For a brief moment, it’s just you and the fruit. You’re filled with a sense of hominess, of nostalgia for your grandmother, or the proud memory of the first vegetable you ever nurtured. When you come back to reality, you start to look around and you can hardly believe your eyes. Row upon row of leafy tomato plants climb toward the soft, filtered light coming in from above. The greenhouse seems to stretch on forever. Little technology gets in the way of nature’s beauty; the stems grow from plasticsheathed blocks of crushed coconut in raised troughs and are clipped to small rods above. Small pipes wind along the floor, masked by green tangles of sagging vines. Every so often a bumblebee lazes by, off to pollinate another plant or return to one of the hives placed throughout the greenhouse. Mitchell, the owner and founder of SunTech Greenhouses, on Doyle Road south of Manotick, somehow fits

into the greenhouse ecosystem, despite a brusque manner and a penchant for loud exclamations. The lifelong farmer moved to a dairy and cash crop farm south of Kenmore when he was six, which he farmed with his family until 1998. And then he entered a greenhouse for the first time in his life. “The smell, that was what hooked me,” he said. From that visit in September 1998, it took 11 months for Mitchell to buy the Doyle Road property, set up a greenhouse that covers a hectare, and plant 22,000 beefsteak tomato plants. “Just a starter kit,” Mitchell laughed. Today, the farm has 1.6 hectares of greenhouse facilities and produces 11 different commercial products. That includes several tomato varieties as well as eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and green beans. NATURE’S WAY

While SunTech certainly doesn’t profess to be organic or pesticide free, it makes use of what nature has to offer. A common greenhouse pest is the white fly, a tiny white bug that can multiply into the billions. As they drink the juices from the plants, they

excrete everywhere – and that can prevent the plants from getting the sunlight they need. But instead of spraying plants with chemicals, Mitchell brings in 40,000 encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in white fly eggs – essentially stopping the reproduction cycle. “You don’t pay them by the hour and they don’t miss,” Mitchell said. Bumblebees are another important part of the greenhouse ecosystem. Brought in from Windsor, Ont., Mitchell’s bees are relied upon to pollinate the tomatoes. The number of bees loose in the greenhouse directly correlates to the number of open flowers, Mitchell said. There are usually two or three bee stings a year, he said, but as the chief bee handler he has managed to escape a sting for nearly 14 years. Of course, the whole point of a greenhouse is to get around Mother Nature’s whims, and SunTech employs a complex computer system to monitor the indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjust the roof vents accordingly. The average daily temperature inside is about 19 degrees, Mitchell said, and they can harvest about 10 months of the year.

Get ready to go zip-zip-zip lining steve.newman@metroland.com

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you won’t have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America. Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a signiďŹ cant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years. Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the ďŹ rst zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the ďŹ nal 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25. Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxton’s business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers. Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines. There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

“We have four goals in mind,â€? says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover. The ďŹ rst goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters. “We’ve made investments in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,â€? says Glover. “But for older kids, as families grow up, you don’t want them to hit the boredom curve.â€? The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds. The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Land’s season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August. “The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.â€? Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive. “Our big posters stopped them,â€? says Glover. “It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds. But we’ll see for sure this summer.â€? Glover acknowledges there’s another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Land’s third

marketing goal. For example, there’s no reason tourists can’t zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking. Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series. As Glover says, “Every zip line you see is different.â€? The area’s newest zip line, says Glover, will be simple, safe, exhilarating and an atSTEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND tractive addition to what Lo- The project manager for the Logos Land zip line is Dave Humphrys of Challenges Unlimgos Land already offers. ited.

The zip line will increase local employment. About a dozen staff will be hired to run the facility.

ESCAPE AND EXPLORE

Five simple tips before hitting the road EMC lifestyle - Summer getaways are common indulgence in Canada and for the more than four-in-ďŹ ve of us who own, lease or ďŹ nance a vehicle, exploring the Great White North often begins with the push of a pedal. Whether your plans include cross-country road trips or a weekend exodus to the cottage, here are a few tips to keep your vehicle looking and running its best on the open road: s +EEP IT CLEAN 3TARTING A road trip with a clean car is a must, but be eco-responsible. Always look for products that are designed to be tough on grease, bugs, mud and carbon deposits, while still being safe for the environment. s #HECK YOUR WHEELS -AKE sure tires are road-trip ready. For better handling and mileage, swap winter tires for summer ones, or all-season types. Check the pressure of the tires before you take off by consulting the owner’s manual or on the side of the tire. Properly inated tires improve grip on the road and

save money at the pump. s 4OP UP mUIDS .O ONE wants to be stuck on the side of the highway. Having proper levels of windshield washer uid, engine oil, radiator coolant and brake uid can make or break a road trip. Check the owner’s manual for the recommended uid levels. Remember overďŹ lling your uids can do just as much damage as not ďŹ lling up enough. s 'ET RID OF THE SALT !S THE temperatures rise, so does the rate of corrosion and after a full-season of battling snow and slush, the chemicals used to clear roads can eat away at a car’s body. +EEP YOUR CAR LOOKING AND running its best by getting a professional rust protection at least once a year. s 4AKE IT TO AN EXPERT 3TAY safe and avoid unforeseen expenses by following your car’s recommended maintenance schedule. See a professional to give you the green light for long-distance travel. newscanada.com

Keep your vehicle looking its best and running well for summer travel.

EMC News - Leeds and Grenville Interval House received a funding grant in the amount of $5,099 from the Silpada Jewellery Company’s Charitable Foundation, June 5. The funds will be used for food and household supplies and expenses. This is unusual for a grant, Kimberley Wright, left, community liaison and volunteer coordinator for LGIH noted. Grants are usually given for new programming and initiatives, but funds for basic costs are so very important, she said. Without being able to afford the basics, new programs are difficult to implement. Sue MacLaurin, right, Brockville independent representative for Silpada Designs Canada, was quite emotional to be able to present this donation. To be able to work and have her company give to something so close to her heart is very inspiring for her. Silpada was founded in 1997 and is world’s largest sterling silver jewelry home party company. This is the first year Silpada’s Charitable Foundation has awarded grants, and has given 48 in the U.S. and Canada. GARAGE SALE

This year, student senators had the opportunity to meet a number of guest speakers including: • David K. Thomas, UCDSB Director of Education discussed energy and leadership – asked all student senators to complete their energy and wellness plan and goals: Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual Leadership + Change = A Better World. • Allison Grange, UCDSB Communications Officer discussed and introduced UCTV, the board’s online video streaming channel. • Angele D’Alessio, Canadian Mental Health Association mental health promoter led an extensive discussion on mental health, including depression and its symptoms, as well as shared a “Suicide Talk” presentation on suicide prevention. Each meeting, student senators participated in Family of Schools discussions, and listened to an update from Collard. In October 2012, student senators elected a student protégé, and in February 2013 they elected a student trustee for the upcoming year. “It’s a chance to hear the student voice, and hear about what’s going on at other schools,” said Brie Fraser, student protégé, and Grade 11 student from Brockville Collegiate Institute. “It’s given us a chance to get to know people from other schools. I’ve led all of the icebreaker activities, which have allowed people to think, laugh, and connect with each other.” South Grenville District High School Grade 12 student Jonathon McDougall said he’s valued his time as a member of the Student Senate. “It has been an honour, privilege, and pleasure to serve on Student Senate again this year,” he said. “Rarely am I given the opportunity to work with and converse with like-minded young people, all of whom are committed to the betterment of the education system.” Submitted by the UCDSB.

The Student Senate, which is made up of two student leaders from each of the UCDSB secondary schools, met four times throughout the school year to talk about important topics and issues that are relevant to student life, and to share ideas about how to make their school experience even better. Each meeting, UCDSB student trustee Sydney Collard would lead the group in discussion and activities, as well as introduce guest speakers.

Like Whillans, many have not seen each other in years and this was a time to reconnect, recollect and revisit times past.

THE BROCKVILLE MANDARIN MS WALK THANKS OUR LOCAL SPONSORS

Elizabethtown-Kitley held its annual Big Tent Event Business Fair June 8 at the Spring Valley Community Hall. Admission was free to the event which featured a variety of businesses, free pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, prizes, a barbecue and more. Above, Amie Brown, from Woofs & Waggs Professional Dog Grooming smiles for the camera. The business, located in Tincap, has another location in Perth as well. That day they were giving away free bags of dog food, as well as answering questions for those stopping in.

Brown announces call for proposals for projects led and inspired by seniors EMC News - Every day, in thousands of communities across the country, Canadian seniors are making a difference, and initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) are helping them do so, says Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville. Last week, on May 22, Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors), launched the 2013–2014 NHSP call for proposals for community-based projects. This is an excellent opportunity for organizations that promote the well-being of seniors to take action. “I encourage them to submit their applications before July 5, 2013,” Brown notes. Organizations may receive up to $25,000 in grant funding per year on projects that focus on one or more of the following objectives: volunteering, mentoring, expanding awareness of elder abuse, social participation and capital assistance. There are many organizations in Canada that are dedicated to helping seniors maintain a high quality of life and continue to be active, participating members of their communities.

“This year alone, our government is providing more than $33 million to support 1,750 communitybased projects for seniors across the country. Since its beginning, the NHSP has funded more than 12,200 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada,” Brown adds. Organizations can receive funding towards projects that empower seniors to share their diverse skills, knowledge and experiences with others by volunteering and mentoring. These projects also help foster social participation and inclusion of seniors in communities across Canada. Seniors have played an important role in building our great country, and the government wishes to say thank you for keeping communities strong. “If your organization has an idea for a project that encourages seniors to lead or participate in activities that benefit their community, take advantage of this call for proposal and submit your application today,” he says. For more information on how to submit your application, visit seniors.gc.ca.

Prescott Tennis Club set to serve up another summer of fun EMC Sports - Located next to Centennial Park and the shores of the St. Lawrence River in Prescott, the Prescott Tennis Club is a local, not-for-profit organization run by volunteers, in partnership with the Town of Prescott, whose mandate is to promote safe and enjoyable tennis for all. As such, the PTC is open to members of all ages and skill levels and new members are always welcome. Guest passes are also available for those vacationing in the region. Annual membership fees for adults are $85, $160 for couples, $180 for a family and $40 for juniors. Jim Murphy is the instructor for the Junior Tennis Program this summer. Murphy is a long-time member of the Club and an accomplished tennis player. Two sessions are being offered, one in July, starting July 2, and one in August, starting July 30. Each session consists of eight one-hour lessons, held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for four consecutive weeks. The cost is $40 per child per session. Proper shoes are required and a tennis racquet can be provided if needed. Emphasis, as always, is on fun while learning the skills and rules of this timeless, classic game. Registration will be held at the PTC Clubhouse on Corrine Street (between Sophia and Mary streets) on Tuesday, June 18 from 4 – 7 p.m. You can contact Jim via e-mail at jmurphy48@hotmail.com or reach him by phone at 613269-4615 for more information or to register your child. A PTC membership is not required to participate in the clinics. For the rest of the members, there is social tennis Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 8 a.m., Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and

Saturdays at 9 a.m. Play is typically between one and a half - two hours, based on weather and turnout. All members are welcome, and no pre-registration is required. Just show up and get paired up. Social tennis provides a great way to get some court time, meet new players and play against different people in a non-competitive atmosphere. “Fun, fitness and friendship� is the name of the game here. The Club Executive for 2013 consists of Scott Rowat returning as Club President, Jerry Duris as VP, and directors Lyle Behnke, Pat Jones, Krista Rowat and Valerie Schulz Earlier this season the South Grenville District High School’s tennis team was a guest on the courts for practice and tournament play (go Giants!) and more recently in June the Club played host to regional matches in Men’s, Ladies and Mixed Doubles for the Ontario Senior Games. The Club’s next major event will be their annual Strawberry Social on Saturday, July 6 at 10 a.m. (rain date is Sunday, July 7). Held to coincide with the Championships at Wimbledon, this fun day includes a round of social tennis followed by fresh, local strawberries and cream (a Wimbledon tradition), homemade treats and cool refreshments. Members are welcome to bring guests to this event. Cost is $5 per person.

CCHL expands Showcase format Braves will play three games in three days on Labour Day weekend EMC Sports – The Central Canada Hockey League has expanded its season-opening Showcase weekend for the coming season. Now billed as the ‘September Super Showcase’, the event will take place over the Labour Day weekend at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata and stretch across four days – Friday, Aug. 30 through Monday, Sept. 2. Also, each team in the league will now play three games instead of two over that stretch. A total of 18 exciting games open the Central League’s 53rd season. As the original league showcase hosts, the CCHL has maintained innovative concepts to having league games played in a common venue as a means to attract scouts, recruiters, fans and families to a season opening kick-off. To avoid conflicts with other league partners in Canada, and to enhance an already excellent event, the CCHL has adopted an expanded showcase. As the longest running Junior A league in the country, and as a leader in player development and promotion, the CCHL announces the following schedule of games: Friday August 30, 2013

Gill, Herbison claim inaugural Ogilvie’s Triple Crown win at Brockville Speedway

The second part of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown saw Steve Barber and Chris Herbison bring 25 Sportsman cars to Gary Vandermeer’s green flag with Herbison taking the top spot away in turn 1. It didn’t take long for the first of two caution flags to come out. On lap 3 Kenny Polite slowed in turn 4. Then one lap later Doug O’Blenis spun off turn 3. Once the racing resumed Herbison had a spirited battle with Dylan Evoy for the top spot with Barber, Jon Mills and Shane Pecore completing the top 5. Herbison had one of the fastest cars on the race track and was able to get away from Evoy by four car lengths by

lap 12, but Evoy changed his line and began to run down the two-time champion. Evoy closed in on lap 15 and the two drivers put on a show for the fans running side by side, ducking in and out of lapped cars but Herbison was still able to hold off the challenges from Evoy for the time being. Quebec champion Steve Bernier was the man on the move just past the halfway point. Coming from 14th he charged past Ferguson to move into fifth. Then one lap later would get by Barber and Mills to move into third and quickly close in on the top 2. With 10 to go Herbison continued his strong run but the battle was on for second as Evoy and Bernier ran side by side through turn 2. Evoy seemed to spin out as he turned completely sideways slamming into the side of Bernier’s car. Somehow Evoy bounced off the Bernier machine correctly and was able to keep going but fell out of the top 5 at the finish. With two laps to go the battle for the lead was on as Bernier and Herbison battled hard through traffic but the defending track champion held off the Quebec invader for his first win of the season over Bernier, Ferguson, Mills and Pecore.

The TUSA Mod Lite Series made its annual visit to The BOS. Jeff May and Dan Kviring began the 25 lap affair on the front row with May grabbing the early race lead. Paul Klager flexed his muscle early on in the event. After starting in the 6th spot he quickly drove to the front getting by May for the lead on lap 3 with Kviring, Joel Hargrave and Stephane Raymond completing the top 5. Once in front Klager held a slight lead but May changed his line and pulled along side of the leader on lap 12 but Klager pulled away in turn 3. On lap 14 Dan Kviring’s great run came to and end in turn 4 as his front end broke sending the car airborne. Kviring was ok but his car was done for the night. After the restart Klager still held a slight advantage but Jeff May was doing everything he could to get by for the top spot. With 4 laps to go Stephane Raymond battled Joel Hargrave for 3rd on the front stretch but made contact nearly sending Raymond’s car upside down bringing out the yellow for the final time. On the restart May tried one last ditch effort but it didn’t pay off as Klager held on for the win over May, Hargrave, Eric Varin and Mathieu Robinson. Next week the annual Spectator Bag

race will be on the card along with a Jiffy Muffler 25-lap event for the Rookies and regular show for all divisions. The green flag drops at 7 p.m..

EMC Sports - Mother Nature spoiled the party at The BOS the week before and she tried to do the same thing this past Saturday night not once, but twice. A brief shower before hot laps delayed the start of the night. Then just before the start of the feature the skies opened up again. But the track crew did their best to fight off the rain and did so as 111 cars were able to take to one of the fastest racing surfaces all season. The first portion of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown saw birthday boy Lee Gill and Bobby Herrington bring the 358 Modified field for the start of the 50-lap event with Gill grabbing the lead over Herrington, Pat O’Brien, Luke Whitteker, and Brian McDonald. Gill would go on a tear leading the opening six laps before a caution would fly for Andy Lloyd who slowed in turn 3. On the restart a nasty crash in turn 4 took place. As the field came off the turn Brian McDonald clipped a tire sending him back across the field collecting 9 cars in total, the race was red flagged as the track was completely blocked. All drivers walked away from the wreck. Tim O’Brien, McDonald, Roger Levesque, and Steve Bilow received the most damage as they were towed to the pits for the night. On the restart Gill continued to show the way running the top side of the speedway with Herrington, Whitteker, Pat O’Brien, and Quebec driver Frederick Gamache charging from 10th to complete the top 5. Gill had no problems on the tacky surface until lapped traffic showed up. With a narrow groove it made things tough to get by but Gill powered through to hold a slight lead until lap 19 when Joe Banks spun at the top of turn 2 bringing the yellow out again. Pat O’Brien also experienced problems running fourth and headed pitside but was able to return. The green returned and Gill continued his great run but it appeared the handling started to go away on his car bringing Herrington and Whitteker within striking distance. Other drivers were also on the move as well, Mario Clair started 17th and had a great battle with Frederick Gamache to move into fifth just past the halfway point. At the front of the field it was a classic youth versus experience battle as Gill did everything he could to hold off Herrington for the lead and the battle was on. Herrington pulled even with Gill down the backstretch with 10 laps to go and fans were treated to a great side-by-side battle but Gill held off all challenges. With the top two battling hard this brought Danny O’Brien, Whitteker and Clair all up to the party as well making it a five-car dash to the finish. On the final lap Herrington tried one more move off turn 2 but got loose and that was all Gill needed to secure his second win in a row over Herrington, Danny O’Brien, Whitteker and Clair.
