Lansdowne Fair offers tons of fun July 19 to 21

ENTERTAINMENT

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – The 149th Lansdowne Fair, kicking off this evening, serves up everything but the kitchen sink – although there are Toilet Bowl Races. These will be some of the new features at the historic event which now includes a Chainsaw Competition, Country Costume Contest, Truck and Tractor Pulls, as well as a talent show. This year’s fair features, “something going all the time,� notes Todd Barclay, co-president of the Lansdowne Agricultural Society. The fair begins with a sneaka-peek this evening from 7 to 10 p.m., and rolls on until Sunday, July 21, along the fair theme ‘Poultry in Motion.’ On top of the new events that are hoped to get a good number of people involved, old favourites and traditions are also on the

agenda such as the Demolition Derby Saturday evening. “This is always a big draw,� Barclay said. The ever popular heavy horse show Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and at 1 p.m. are sure to bring in large crowds as well. The heavy horse show, Barclay notes, is “growing number wise and participant wise,� which is truly a “testament� to its popularity and those behind it. The Toilet Bowl Races, a first for the fair, take place at 8 p.m. Friday evening, July 19, at the Grandstand. Teams of four, according to the fair website, “will create and build a Toilet Bowl Racer vehicle.� This contraption will then go through an obstacle course. The event will be timed, with points being lost for mishaps. “The winning team must finish See FAIR page 2

Rodriguez is Depp’s photo double in Pirate’s of the Caribbean – At World’s End and has been featured on several television shows. This is his fourth year attending Gananoque and he has definitely been an attention-getter for the annual 1000 Islands Pirate Fest, that took place July 11 to 14.

St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival kicks off for 11th season By CONAN de VRIES

EMC Entertainment - A beautiful summer’s evening and a top-rank production on stage made for a wonderful opening night for the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival in Prescott last week. Several hundred people filled the Kinsmen Amphitheatre for the kickoff of the company’s 11th season on Saturday, July 13, and enjoyed not only the warm weather and picturesque setting but also an original play entitled Maid for a Musket. Based loosely on Shakespeare’s Love’s Labours Lost, the comedy was written by Vancouver playwright Lucia Frangione, who was in the audience for her play’s debut. Maid for a Musket was commissioned by the Shakespeare Festival to recognize the 200th anniversary of the construction of Fort Wellington, and it tells of the earnest pledge made by a group of soldiers stationed in town to swear off all vices – and of the many temptations that test their resolution. However, neither this play, nor Hamlet, which opened Wednesday, July 17, could have been brought to the stage this summer without the backing of the many individuals and organizations that support the Festival. Among those is the town that hosts it, and Artistic Director Ian Farthing took a moment before the play started to thank the mayor and the town for its assistance. “We wouldn’t be here without the Photo by CONAN de VRIES support and encouragement of the One of the performers came out to warm up the crowd before the opening night performance last weekend Town of Prescott,� said Farthing. Farthing also took a moment to of Maid for a Musket by the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival.

talk about some of the other great entertainment the Festival will be putting on or bringing in this summer, chiefly the Sunday Series. “We’re very excited about it,� he said. On July 21, the Sunday Series will feature a unique fusion of hiphop and Shakespeare created by the uniquely talented New York-based rap artist Devon Glover. Calling himself the Sonnet Man, he deftly weaves Shakespeare’s poetry into the rhymes and rhythms of contemporary hip-hop beats, making his approach to the bard surely one of the most original. “It’s a great way to introduce your kids to Shakespeare,� said Farthing. On Sunday, July 28, Paul Rainville, a pillar of the Ottawa acting community and a featured player in both Hamlet and Maid for a Musket, will be taking the stage to regale his audience with stories and song. The following week, August 4, the Revelers Showcase, an annual favourite, will return.

Gananoque leaves lasting impression on ‘Captain Jack’ By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC News – One moment of kindness has ended in a lasting memory for a special visitor to Gananoque. Ronnie Rodriguez is known for his “uncanny likeness, size and height to” actor Johnny Depp and was cast as his photo-double in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 4. And according to the Gananoque Boat Line website, he’s the “most sought-after Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator in North America.” Local residents and visitors were able to see him all weekend at the annual 1000 Islands Pirate Fest, which took place July 11 to 14. Rodriguez has been here for four years of the festival. In his first year here, a touching memory for him involved a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. A young fellow had approached him, wanting to meet “Captain Jack” and wanting to have him over for lunch. The young man asked Rodriguez what his favourite sandwich was and, answering honestly, he replied that it was peanut butter and jelly. Rodriguez remembers fondly his

time with the young lad – Bryce and his family – as well as his PB and J sandwiches for lunch that day. Having been to Gananoque several times now, he has come to recognize people, and this young lad has grown right before his eyes. “I love Gananoque, I love this place,” he nodded. His likeness to Johnny Depp was what caught the eye of friends and colleagues in the past. He came to hear “you look like that guy on 21 Jump Street,” a television show which aired in the late 80s, until 1991. In the series Depp played police officer Tom Hanson. After attending a party, and being approached by an agent his career kicked into gear. He has appeared in, as mentioned, Pirates of the Caribbean, and recently Lone Ranger (also starring Johnny Depp, but Rodriguez was used for other means instead of Depp’s photo double on that set). He has also been in music videos in the United States, Canada, Germany and Japan and on shows such as Good Morning America and others.

Big Bass Challenge continues to grow bigger and better EMC News - A field of 500 participants were invited out to try their hand at the second annual Big Bass Challenge held in Gananoque July 6-7. Early morning rain brought out the anglers and the fish were biting with a vengeance. The event took place on the St. Lawrence River and was open to amateurs of all ages and from all places. In addition to the fishing, the Challenge reached out to assist three charities – McKenna’s Dream, Ms Bassin’ and Tim Horton’s Kids Camps. Kathrine Christensen, who spoke at last year’s event for the 1,000 Islands Accommodation Partners (TIAP), was overjoyed. “As title sponsors for the event, we’re delighted by the turn out at this first ever tournament. It’s time we brought fishing back to Gananoque in a big way, and the bass fishers have really shown us they mean business when it comes to catching the big ones. Gary Fisher has really shown us he knows what he’s doing.� Described as a “bull dog�, Fisher did everything in his power and more, and brought in a tournament people will long talk about. “Last year I had a big draw with a tagged fish worth $50,000,� said Fisher. “Well it never got caught and I was a little disappointed as I wanted to give away that big prize. When I go fishing I love to see people in my boat, kids, women anyone but me catch that fish to see the look on their face and the fun that they have pulled in something on the end of their rod.� They planned to give away $16,800 over the two days this year, more than twice the $8,000 of a year ago. Fisher also put a new twist on the competition by getting sponsors to provide prizes valued at $50 or more to be given away for specific weight categories. Each prize would be awarded for a fish of an exact weight, making it a bit trickier for those out doing the fishing. “You had to bring in a fish that weighed exactly what the prize was marked at,� said Fisher. And entrants were more than up to the challenge. Starting at two pounds, weights went up in increments of onetenth of a pound apiece, and prizes were eagerly snatched up. Nearly 45 sponsors provided all

Jordan and Jesse Zlomislic, both goalies with the Kemptville Panthers, were anxious to get an autograph from hockey legend Gerry Cheevers, July 9. Foxysports (at Curiosities On King), downtown Brockville, hosted the Hockey Hall of Famer, best known for his two stints with Boston Bruins, as goaltender. He played in the National Hockey League as well as the World Hockey Association and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985. The following day, Cheevers played in the Canadian Tire Brockville Rotary Golf Classic, held at the Brockville Country Club. Photo by MARLA DOWDALL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Shoeboxes for Seniors in Chernobyl campaign well under way DEAR EDITOR: I am writing to you on behalf of “Shoeboxes For Seniors In Chernobyl”. We are presently launching our 2013 campaign (June 1 – Oct. 31) and would hope that you will continue to be a vital supporter of this project. The Shoeboxes project began in 2003 and has been well received in our communities. To date, 8,780 boxes have been filled with much needed personal care items. Our shoeboxes are distributed to seniors who have limited funds. We are providing very basic hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, lotions, etc. The seniors receiving our shoeboxes have

been overjoyed with the compassion shown them. Our community has brought many smiles to weary faces. Will you help us help those in need? If you are able to assist again this year through donations of filled shoeboxes, personal care items or financial assistance that will be used to purchase items, please call me at 613-345-6983. Thank you for your past support and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Colleen Gray Coordinator Shoeboxes for Seniors

COMMENTARY

Supporting young entrepreneurs EMC Editorial – There’s nothing like being your own boss and 15 young entrepreneurs from across Leeds and Grenville are finding that out first-hand this summer. The Summer Company program, which mentors and educates young people who are considering entrepreneurship as a viable career option, recently kicked off for the season. The program is a successful venture that encourages youth to run their own businesses, an initiative of the provincial government and administered by the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre. This summer area residents can satisfy their sweet tooth with mouth watering cinnamon buns, or have that special moment captured in photographs, or learn how to swim from one of these young business people. One of the great bonuses about the Summer Company program is the variety of business opportunities. This is something more youth between the ages of 15 and 29 should be exploring. Participants receive hands-on training and mentoring, to put them on the path towards success, which includes learning how to form one’s own business plan. There’s another big incentive to give Summer Company a try: students receive up to $1,500 to help with the startup costs of their businesses, and an additional $1,500 once they return to school in September. Invaluable business advice, the opportunity to make money and learn the ins and outs of being one’s own boss is a concept worth supporting. To learn more about local students and their endeavours this summer through the program, please look Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre up on Facebook.

Tramps were transient back in Depression years EMC Lifestyle - Father was sure there was a hidden sign nailed to a tree, only visible to the countless tramps who rode the rails that said, “jump here... good food up the hill.” Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains, and survived by begging for their next meal. Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat. They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements. They seemed to know, on the farm, the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the fam-

ily was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door. They never had to ask for something to eat. We knew why they were there. Mother would look them over, and if they were clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in. If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put it on the back stoop and tell them to come in when they had washed up.

The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp, and Mother would laden a plate full of food, and I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days, and there was a good chance they hadn’t. Father would try to make conversation. But the tramps said little. And we five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from, and how they had become tramps, but of course, I too sat mute while the food disappeared. As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food, and then they stood and were ready to head out again. Mother would tell them to sit a spell, and we always knew what she was going to do, because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years. She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door. Then she

would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of whatever meat we had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie, and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, and fill it with cold water from the granite pail. Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder. And he would go as quietly as he had come, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm. It would slow down to handle the curve in the track, and Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off

to goodness knows where. We never saw the same tramp twice. And they came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages. Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys...young like my three brothers. And I would wonder why they were tramps, and my brothers weren’t. And then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin, and as clean as a whistle. His hair was coalblack, and slicked down, showing that he had taken more than a quick wash in the river. Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever fed. He was what was called a “home boy”. He came from England as a 12 year old, he said. See MARY page 13

Discover a park hidden in plain sight Thousand Islands National Park’s new oTENTiks – a cross between a tent and a cabin – offer an easy and comfortable “glamping” escape from the city. On Parks Day, Thousand Islands National Park will present special programming with activities taking place at the Mallorytown Landing Visitor Centre. The Centre is accessible by car, or by boat. Park interpreters will present stories, unique facts, and some of the live animals that call the park home. Discover more about First Nations communities in the Thousand Islands with this summer’s special exhibit from the

Mohawk community of Akwesasne. Conveniently located just off the 401, Mallorytown Landing also offers a kids play area, art installations, barbecues, and picnic areas for visitor enjoyment. Between 1 and 2 p.m., conservationist Matt Ellerbeck will bring the secret world of salamanders to light with a special presentation that will engage the whole family. The presentation will feature live species, local and exotic, providing the public with a rare chance to get close to these fascinating amphibians. Whether visiting Thousand Islands

National Park for the first time, or for the thousandth time, there is always something new and fun to discover about this region, and the park. The Thousand Islands National Park Mallorytown Landing Visitor Centre is located at 1121 Thousand Islands Parkway, just west of the intersection with County Road 5 (exit 675 from the 401). It is open Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until Labour Day. Vehicle parking fees are $6.80 per day. For information about Parks Day activities, please contact the park by telephone at 613-923-5261 or by email at ont-sli@pc.gc.ca. Submitted photo

After breaking ground in August of last year, months of toiling, and one broken arm, Marshall Auction Services are very pleased to be able to open the doors of their new facility in Spencerville. Many who attended an open house event, April 20, were impressed and delighted by the period looks of the building both inside and out. The opening of the Marshall Auction house marks the achievement of almost a decade of providing auction services to the area. Three area dignitaries attended for the open house and ribbon cutting, including Bill Sloan, mayor Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, Darlene Banning and Archie Melon.

The Youth Volunteer Crew, a program of the Employment and Education Centre, is hosting the event, which will celebrate music and dance. proceeds will be going to the YVC. “Our program is dependent on grants and fundraising to continue,” he said. “It is quite an expensive program to run.” And the Youth Advisory Council has also worked hard to raise funds to put the event on, already bringing in about $1,500 to go towards startup costs.

While this festival is serving to raise funds, the YVC also wants to “provide a quality event, mainly for the benefit and entertainment of Brockville and area community. As well, it is important for us to support and encourage our local musicians, including budding youth performers and this event will provide such a platform.”

Brockville talent in the line-up includes Aislinn McAllister, Vala Hartry, Brandon Roderick, and more. Genres of music will include acoustic, pop, rock, blues and more.

NEWS

From an orphanage. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour. Father told him there was no money for a hired man, and besides we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn, and have three meals a day, and a Flat-Fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing. And that was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man. He really became a member of the family, and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it. The tramps were a symbol of that era. We knew not where they had come from, or where they were going. It mattered little what time of year it was...winter or summer, almost daily we could count on seeing a tramp coming up over the West Hill. And they were never turned away. They came hungry, and they left with full bellies and enough food to take them to the next stop on their endless journey.

Local company sponsors CAC Gala Dinner and Charity Auction By DOREEN BARNES

Set your thermostat above room temperature in the summer and below room temperature in the winter. For each degree you adjust, you can save five per cent on your utility bill and one per cent on your energy use.

EMC News – Come to meet and see 18 Belarusian children perform at the Canadian Aid for Chernobyl (CAC) Gala Dinner and Charity Auction. The event is corporately sponsored by Northern Cables Inc., and takes place on Wednesday, July 31, in Granite Hall of the Brockville Country Club. “It’s wonderful to see these children entertain which is so good for them as this gives them a tremendous amount of self-confidence, as it’s not the exposure they would get at home,” said co-founder, director of Humanitarian Aid and Orphan Initiatives for CAC Dave Shaw. This event starts at 5:30 p.m., with hors d’oeuvre served by the children along with a sit-down fine dining experience at 6:30 p.m., coinciding with the live auction. The ticket cost is reasonably priced at $50 each. “Auction services are being donated by Carrie Hands of Hands Auction Services Ltd.,” said Shaw.

With a block of these sponsorships we can bring them into the Orphanage. We are the only Orphanage and the only foreigners doing such a program in this country.” Other auction items include six bedrooms that slept six children each, which desperately needs repairs, specifically wallpapering, painting, flooring and doors.

Discover Brockville’s haunted past during Ghost Walks EMC Events - The spooky Brockville Ghost Walks are back for the 17th consecutive season. The popular walking tours begin at Fulford Place, a National Historic site owned and operated by the Ontario Heritage Trust. The three-storey Edwardian mansion, completed in 1900, was home to Senator George T. Fulford, who made his fortune marketing “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People”. The ghost of Fulford’s widow, Mary, who was a devotee of spiritualism, supposedly haunts the mansion. Costumed volunteers of the Friends of Fulford Place Association lead visitors through Brockville, stopping at various haunted spots to recount spooky tales of Fulford Place and the old city. Nancy Fraser, the author of “Mysterious Brockville” and “Mysterious Brockville II”, collected the ghostly stories several years ago. The book forms the basis of the annual Ghost Walks.

Two walks are offered: the “Haunted Brockville” walk lasts two and a half hours, and costs $14; the “Creepy King Street” walk is 90 minutes and costs $11. The guided walks are suitable for adults and children over eight years of age. Walkers are urged to wear comfortable shoes as the walks are conducted at a brisk pace. The tours will run this summer on Friday evening July 26 and Friday evening Aug. 30, rain or shine. Tickets can be purchased in advance on the day of the walk, or half an hour before each walk begins (8:30 p.m.). For more information, call 613-498-3005. The Ontario Heritage Trust is an agency of the Government of Ontario, dedicated to identifying, preserving, protecting and promoting Ontario’s heritage for all of us to enjoy and for others to experience in the future.

Volunteers from Community and Primary Health Care took part in the organization’s annual Rock-a-Thon and Bake Sale last Friday at the Cardinal Legion. Volunteers like (from left) Mary Epping, Dorothy Dove, Johanna Daku and Bernice Boisvert kept four rocking chairs, and even a rocking horse, moving all morning and early Friday afternoon. All money raised on the day will be put towards the CPHC’s many community services in the Prescott, Augusta and Edwardsburgh-Cardinal areas.

A very fitting event took place on Monday, July 1, Canada Day, in Brockville, as the birthplace of the Canadian Flag. Around 3 p.m., a large crowd gathered in the parking lot of the SmartCentre location at North Augusta Road and Parkedale Avenue, where a 20 x 40 foot Canadian Red Maple Leaf Flag was raised to fly high atop of a 124 foot flag pole. In attendance with 95 year old retired judge John Ross Matheson, who was very instrumental in the design of the flag. The bronze plaque on the official monument recognized the beginnings of the flag, February 15, 1965. In addition to several dignitaries speaking, a salute by a six pounder Armstrong Breechloader gun, manned by re-enactors Bruno Pepin (left) and Lee Hudson (right) started and ended the ceremony. This initiative was undertaken by a committee, 50 Year’s of Our Flag. Some objectives of this group include raising awareness of the history and significance of the birth of the Canadian Flag along with a commemorative ceremony in Brockville on February 15, 2015. In September, this flag will be replaced by a larger 35 x 70 foot Canadian Red Maple Leaf Flag on a 160 foot flag pole. This flag will be considered the largest flag to be flown between Toronto and Montreal and will be visible to travellers on the 401.

The 1000 Islands Gananoque Chamber of Commerce launches new vision specific to the needs of each type of business. For example, a one-person or homebased business will have completely different support and advocacy needs than a multinational or larger corporation. Each business is equally important but requires different types of programs to succeed. 4. Programs and Outreach. Building on our definitions, we will work to build programs and outreach for each of our segments that will assist our membership to achieve success in these difficult and challenging economic times. The goal is

to build and develop these programs in conjunction with our municipal, provincial and federal partners, private sector business leaders and most importantly our members. We are confident that as we build the new direction for the Chamber it will be a positive step for success in Gananoque and the Township of Leeds and the 1000 Islands and we look forward to working with you to make the most beautiful region in the world one of the most attractive for consumers and business.

EMC News - The 1000 Islands Gananoque Chamber of Commerce is in the process of building a new vision. The board acknowledges and thanks past boards for their commitment and dedication. The Chamber has always been a volunteer group of business and community leaders who selflessly give their time to this community. As we conclude 2013 and move into 2014, the chamber board recognizes that we are living in an era with unlimited change and progress. This means that the Chamber needs to adapt to meet the needs of customers and business partners. The continued deployment of new technologies, consumer demand and the fundamental change in the way notfor-profits and businesses must operate means that the 1000 Islands Gananoque Chamber needs to run and be run like a successful business. This means that we must align our business practices and services to be more in step with those realities. Some of the key highlights of what we are planning include: 1. Improved communications. You may have already noticed that we are communicating with our members on a regular basis. In the past, some members reported only hearing from us once a year. We have stepped it up and now communicate with our membership on a much more frequent basis. We are holding monthly meet and greet events that improve member opportunities to network, highlight their business, and discuss business strategies with other members. These are also open to potential members who want to join but need more information. 2. New Web Presence. We have secured a grant through the 1000 Islands Community Development Corporation for the deployment of a new and improved Chamber of Commerce website with an enhanced business directory for all members that will be developed before the end of the year. The new site will be constructed with modern technology to allow for improved social media and search engine optimization. 3. Segmented Services. The Chamber Board is formulating a plan to provide more segmented services for its membership. We must recognize that not all businesses are one size fits all when needing support from their Chamber. As such, once our segmentation analysis is complete we will begin to develop programs

These packages are for those who do not want to bid on a service or product, but still want the opportunity to bid on an auction item which will have a significant direct impact on the children’s living conditions. Should an individual or business wish to contribute to this worthwhile effort or to purchase tickets, do not hesitate to contact Dave Shaw at Alan Brown Clothiers, 56 King Street West, Brockville, or email dshaw@ripnet.com or call 613-342-3232. “Our goal for this auction is $50,000,” indicated Shaw. “It’s really a beautiful evening. What I think is really special; yes, it is a fundraiser, but for me, the people sitting in the room are interested in our cause. They have supported our cause and it actually gives them an opportunity to see what we are doing, to hear stories of our successes and the differences that our sponsors are making over there.” During the evening an overview of what CAC is doing and their achievements with making changes will be presented. “The biggest change is psychological; psychological in their government for acceptance of orphans, invalid children and common folk and psychologi-

cal with giving people with disabilities confidence and self-worth,” said Shaw. Shaw extends an invitation to those that just want to come to learn more about Canadian Aid for Chernobyl. “It is a fundraiser, but more importantly Brockville has supported us since 1991 and we continue to grow and it’s our way of giving back,” said Shaw. “It’s unique when you are supporting an international charity that we actually have children here and moms. We have three moms with children here, one for medical purposes. So people will hear a lot of real stories.” Twenty children, three mothers and two interpreters arrived in Brockville on Monday, July 8 to spend five weeks as part of the ‘Relief from Radiation Program’. Of the 20 children, there are five and the toddlers that have never been to Canada. As Shaw mentioned Brockville has truly embraced Canadian Aid for Chernobyl and the organization is so thankful to all the host families, to the doctors and dentists who donate their time, talent and services as well as the community at large. To find out more about this worthwhile organization, go to www.canadianaidforchernobyl.com.

Follow some helpful hits to keep repair job ‘on the rails’ Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

simply request can go off the rails, it’s necessary to take a look behind the scenes. First, some dealership service personnel take it personally when a customer opts to have their routine maintenance work done by another garage, and no matter how professional or experienced they are, these feelings can ruin the broth of a client transaction. Some of you may remember how comedian Jerry Seinfeld made this look very funny in the episode where his technician kidnapped Jerry’s car after he questioned an estimate and wanted to take it to another shop for a second opinion. Secondly some independent technicians may not be completely conversant in a particular carmaker’s warranty terms. For example, suspension or steering joints may exhibit play or looseness, but may be within the manufacturer’s specs and therefore not a warrantable repair. Some warranties require a physical oil leak or drip to exist before repairs are authorized and a damp gasket or some fluid ‘sweat’ isn’t considered reason for action.

FLOOR REFINISHING

Misunderstandings like this can escalate to arguments when a dealership completes an inspection, cannot find a warrantable condition, and then presents their customer with an invoice for the technician’s time. But any auto manufacturer will tell you that regardless of where a vehicle is serviced, the warranty, as outlined in the owner’s handbook, still applies. So to make things easier for everyone, here are a few tips when dealing with this situation. 1) If your independent tech brings something to your attention that he or she thinks may be covered under a manufacturer warranty or recall, get some specifics. If something is loose: how loose is it? Which specific component? If something is causing a noise: why? If something is leaking: which fluid? Is it dripping or just sweating? Ask for a written report to eliminate the risk of forgetting something or referring to the wrong side or end of the vehicle when returning to your dealership service counter. 2) When communicating with your dealership, provide as much information as possible. For example, rather than ask them to diagnose a noise, tell them your private technician has identified a fault with component ‘A’ or part ‘B’. Ask them up front what their policy is for inspections that don’t lead to a warrantable repair. Whether or not you choose to risk your money (on inspection charges) depends on how

much you trust the opinion of your own tech. Some inspections require little time (and therefore small fees) whereas some jobs may involve multiple roadtests and/or special equipment and at city shop rates that exceed $100/hour; it’s good to know where you stand before things get started. 3) Dealers get paid by their manufacturers to complete warranty repairs and in some cases they are reimbursed at their retail labour rate with a healthy mark-up allowed on parts. Some techs may complain that the time allowances carmakers list for certain jobs are rather thin, but overall, completing warranty repairs is a profitable business for the retailer.

EMC Lifestyle - A common situation that arises at dealership service/ parts counters every day has a variety of approaches and the results can vary from great to dismal, depending on how things are communicated and unlike the old adage: a little knowledge can be a very good thing. Many vehicle owners are happy to have their vehicles serviced by their authorized dealerships and some prefer to stick with an independent garage or national/regional chain for reasons of trust, price, comfort and convenience to name a few. A good service provider, regardless of the shingle hanging at their front door, will always do their best to ensure their customers have worry-free driving. To this end it’s a common practice for technicians to perform a general inspection anytime a vehicle is in for routine maintenance in order to spot and bring to the owner’s attention, anything that’s amiss and requires attention. On newer vehicles, good service consultants will always keep in mind the vehicle manufacturer warranty as it may cover the costs of parts and labour for a particular repair or replacement due to a warrantable defect in workmanship or materials. So it’s not uncommon for a vehicle owner to end up at his or her dealership’s service desk with a recommendation from an independent garage to replace a tie rod end, or repair an oil leak for example.

Squeeker and wee friends ready for their forever home: Don’t forget fundraising Furball tomorrow EMC News - In April two duct taped sealed boxes were left abandoned at the shelter doors during the night....22 sets of little eyes peered up at staff......bewildered, cold, hungry, and flea infested....who left them? Why so many? Where are their mommas? Why so young? The kittens ranged from 8 ounces to 1.5 pounds and from three weeks old to six weeks. The tiny ones had to be formula syringed fed. Our wonderful foster families opened their homes up to these kittens. They were split up into small groups according to their weight and age to ensure they all received the additional TLC they needed. Squeeker, this cute little three-month old, but spayed, female shared a foster home with Beaker and Bob. The kittens are lively and aren’t bothered by the family’s cat-friendly dog. About half of the kittens – all neutered or spayed, have found their forever homes. This is a great time to adopt a kitten! To visit Squeeker and her wee friends Submitted photo please visit the Gananoque & District Humane Society at 85 Hwy 32 just north of Gananoque and the 401.

The great heist of ‘58 part of city’s history of the mafia. Stepanoff had been involved in other similar robberies, including one in St. Catharines, where he was arrested more than a year after the heist in Brockville. As for the rest of the missing money, The Ottawa Citizen ran an article in 1981, revealing that stolen bonds were still surfacing from around the globe, in Switzerland, Central and South America, and in various North American cities like New York, Miami, and Toronto. At the time, and probably even now, the Brock-

By DENNIS STEIN

EMC Lifestyle - On a cool May night in 1958, a small group of people went up the steps to 4 Court House Terrace, carrying plenty of gear with them. Whether they had been in Brockville long is not known, but on that particular night, while the city slept, they had a job to do... The Brockville Trust and Savings Co. robbery still stands as Canada’s largest bank heist, netting $10 million, without using a gun... The burglars used picks and drills to break through two feet of solid brick wall, exposing the steel wall of the vault. Using Acetylene torches, the bandits made their way in, prying open most of the safe deposit boxes and leaving with bonds, negotiable securities, cash, and jewellery. The thieves had time to wash up, leaving a couple of trivial items behind - a cheap wristwatch worth about $100, a raincoat, and a woman’s scarf. One of the robbers made a huge blunder though; he dropped his bankbook of all things. Less than 48 hours later, police in a Montreal suburb arrested 23-year-old RenĂŠ Martin, who had keys to an apartment, and a locker at Central Station. The locker contained suitcases holding a fortune in loot, more being found at the apartment. Martin testified that there were five people involved, but he was “not in a position to give their names.â€? Some information found mentions that police believe the thieves rented a safe deposit box, allowing them to see the layout of the job prior to the robbery. However, other articles on the subject later say that the group first entered an accountant’s office above and beside the vault, cutting through the floor and descending to the area of the job using a ladder from the basement. In addition, although there was no alarm in the bank at the time, a meeting between officials there

ville Police Services kept the case open. So the next time you have the urge for an evening cocktail downtown, head on in to what is now the Keystorm Pub, and have a look at the back wall near the bar. The immense steel door of the vault is polished, but these days it probably makes a better cooler! For more articles from Dennis Stein, visit: thefineprints.blogspot.com.

The Steel door of the Vault seen at the Keystorm Pub. had determined the need for one, which was to be installed a couple of weeks later - just after the time of the heist. All of these things beg the question: Was someone from the bank, or from Brockville involved, giving information to the group in return for a cut? Who was behind the theft of all this money? Well, it is believed that it was the work of a man named Peter Stepanoff, one of the many lieutenants of a Montreal crime boss in the Canadian arm

South Nation Watershed and heritage depicted in new book EMC News - The faded black and white cover photo of three young lads holding long bamboo fishing poles sets the tone of “Our Watershed, Our Heritage�, a collection of stories and reminiscences of life along the South Nation River and its tributaries. The 136-page tome was produced by South Nation Conservation to celebrate its 65th anniversary. The milestone occurred last year, but collecting the stories, editing, design, layout and publishing spilled into 2013, said Ronda Boutz, SNC Team Leader, Communications and Outreach. SNC Chairman Bill Smirle has en-

sured that all contributors receive a free copy of the collection. Copies can be purchased for $10 through the SNC office in Finch. “This book brings to life the history of the river and its inhabitants,� Smirle wrote in a message at the beginning of the publication. “Please take a moment to reflect on these stories as we continue to work together to enhance our quality of life and protect our natural resources.� In his own seven-page entry in the book, Smirle recalls such memories as crossing the old iron bridge west of Berwick over the South Nation River in

the late 1940s and early ‘50s. Riding in their dad’s 1940 Chevrolet, Bill and his sisters held their breath hoping they’d get safely across. The bridge was closed to traffic many years ago and, in 2012, cut up and hauled away for scrap: “I almost hated to see it go.� The South Nation Conservation Authority – it streamlined its name several years ago – was formed in 1947 after the provincial government passed enabling legislation the previous year. Its locally appointed directors and staff tend to a 4,000 square-km drainage basin extending from the St. Lawrence River at Prescott to the Ottawa River at

Plantagenet. SNC’s main priorities include flood control, clean water preservation, fish, wildlife and habitat enhancement, forest propagation, all of it backed by education and awareness programs. The book contains some French language entries as well as the English stories and also has a French title: “Notre bassin versant, notre patrimoine.� “Our decision was to publish submissions in the language they were received in,� Boutz commented. “Because of the cost and time involved, we never intended a fully translated book.� Along with Smirle, some wellknown area residents contributed to the book, including former municipal politician and farmer Estella Rose of South Mountain who remembers joining cows in the South Nation near Cass Bridge to cool off: “The cows didn’t seem to mind sharing.� These days, SNC in cooperation with area farmers, makes every effort to keep

cows out of the watercourses. Winchester area farmer and agricultural activist Jackie Pemberton, chair of SNC’s Clean Water Committee, loved when the river flooded in the spring and “we floated around all day on makeshift rafts� after the school buses were cancelled. Russell’s Baird McNeill recounts years of wildlife observations made from his deck/perch right over the Castor River – a South Nation tributary – along with the strange tale of building a makeshift dam. These days, residents are discouraged from installing unauthorized dams. Writing in French, Rosaire Dupont, a retired Curran dairy farmer, describes trapping muskrat and beaver along the South Nation when prices made the pursuit worthwhile. Since trapping the animals has slowed to a trickle, they’ve become major obstructions to farm drainage systems, Dupont contends.

A flotilla, consisting of seven longboats, a schooner and brigantine were on their way from Bath to Upper Canada Village and arrived at Centeen Park that day. An encampment was set up for an overnight stay and the flotilla departed the following morning. Ending up at Upper Canada Village for the bicentennial battle re-enactment of the Battle of Crysler’s Farm, the flotilla re-enacted Mulcaster’s mission of 1813.

Get your kids to help you get organized this summer EMC News - With summer in full swing and kids and teens out of school, finding fun and rewarding activities that keep children occupied and engaged without breaking the bank, tops every busy parent’s list. While wondering what to do with the kids, you probably have a pretty lengthy to-do list of summer projects around the house, including getting organized (and getting rid of extra stuff) before the chaos of back-to-school hits in September.

Children can also lend a hand by getting crafty and making posters and signs to advertise the sale in the community. “Get your family to start collecting items for your yard sale several weeks in advance and ask friends and neighbours if they have anything to contribute,” says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “When the day of your yard sale arrives, encourage children to help lay out the goods and put price stickers on the items – remember that people love to

Despite the obvious benefits of living close to bodies of water the risk of being impacted by flooding can be a serious concern. In Canada, flood insurance isn’t available to home owners.

ers will often stop at a bank machine before they come, so expect to get a lot of twenties early in the day. “The objective of your yard sale should be to rid your home of clutter and put a little money in your pocket,” says Dorner. If you are clearing your home of unwanted items in preparation for sale, be sure to speak to a Realtor about other ways to make your home more attractive to potential buyers.

on Facebook and Twitter, and post it on websites like Kijiji or craigslist. Many community newspapers offer free or inexpensive ad space – just be sure to plan well in advance to meet their deadlines. Get organized: Organize your sale items by category and pack them into clearly marked boxes. Keep in mind that yard sale enthusiasts like to start early so it’s helpful to get everything set up the night before if possible. Stock up on change: As most of your transactions will involve small amounts, it’s a good idea to have $100 or more in small bills and coins on hand. Buy-

of the Ontario Real Estate Association, while a flood can happen anywhere it rains, home buyers should assess flood risks in the area they plan to buy – including reviewing floodplain maps and speaking to the municipality about the risk and history of flooding in the area. To Dorner, “Home buyers need to carry out due diligence before purchasing a home and part of this is looking at the whole picture. Speak to your Realtor about your concerns and carefully review any and all risk factors – including flooding.” The Ontario Real Estate Association offers the following tips to reduce the chances of flood damage to your home, courtesy of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver: Access material about flood reduction from your local municipality; contact your municipality to find out where sand and bags are available should a flood occur. Walk around your home after a heavy rainfall to see where water is pooling. If water flows toward the home, seek professional advice about directing water away from the home. Clean gutters and downspouts. Make sure your home’s drain tiles work. The basement may flood if tiles

are old or plugged and need replacing. Flood proof the basement or ground floor, which involves sealing the foundation. Install backflow valves on basement floor drains, washing machine drains, toilets and sink drains. Locate the storm sewer on the road. If it’s plugged with leaves, phone the local municipal public works department and they will clean it. Buy a sump pump and make sure it’s ready to be used if needed during heavy rain storms. “Whether you are a home buyer or a homeowner, understanding the risks associated with a prospective or current home is the first step in protecting yourself from any number of risk factors,” says Dorner. “When considering purchasing a home, speak to your Realtor about the area and any potential risks that you need to know about. From there, do your due diligence and use your municipality’s resources to help you along.” The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources keeps an up-to-date information page regarding local and provincial flooding, www.mnr.gov.on.ca Submitted by the Ontario Real Estate Association.

SAFETY TIPS Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically-connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

Vacancy rate in seniors’ housing residences at 10.3 per cent EMC News – The vacancy rate for standard spaces, which dominate seniors’ residences in Canada, decreased slightly over the past year, reaching 10.3 per cent in 2013, compared to 10.6 per cent in 2012, according to the Seniors’ Housing Report – Canada Highlights edition released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The average vacancy rate for all standard and non-standard spaces also decreased, falling to 9.2 per

cent in 2013 from 9.5 per cent in 2012. “This decline was due to a change in the resident profile in 2013, compared to last year. This year, there were fewer couples and more singles among the residents,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC. “The increase in the share of singles among the residents caused demand for units in seniors’ residences to outpace supply of such units.” Vacancy rates varied across the country, from a high of 25.0

per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador to a low of 4.8 per cent in Manitoba. The vacancy rates for standard spaces in Ontario (13.4 per cent) and British Columbia (11.4) were above the national average. The rates in Prince Edward Island (6.6 per cent), New Brunswick (6.8 per cent), Nova Scotia (8.5 per cent), Quebec (8.7 per cent), Saskatchewan (8.8 per cent) and Alberta (10.2 per cent) were below the national average. Across the country, the average

rent for bachelor units and private rooms, where at least one meal is included in the rent, rose by 1.3 per cent, to $1,995 per month in 2013, compared to $1,969 in 2012. The highest average rent was recorded in Ontario ($2,789), and the lowest, in Quebec ($1,453). According to the Survey, 205,112 seniors lived in the 2,579 residences surveyed. Across the country, there were 208,301 spaces in these residences, with the vast majority (85.1 per cent) being

standard spaces. As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

Shoreline landowners benefitting from shoreline evaluations across the province

Sewing machines are whirring and scissors are snipping! It is a typical Wednesday afternoon at Centennial Road Church where the ladies group, The Sew n’ Sews, meet to sew clothing for children in need all around the world. They provide dresses and short sets to area missionaries who take them along for

their trips. The women also enjoy a cup of coffee and devotions together. Donated material and t-shirts are always welcome. The group will be reorganizing for September and new members are needed and vital to fulfill their missions statement: “Clothing a village one child at a time.”

EMC News - The Love Your Lake Program is in full swing across the province of Ontario, assessing shoreline health in five regions of the province. Love Your Lake is a joint venture of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW) in Eastern Ontario and the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) and is operating in partnership with the Lakeland Alliance of Peterborough Green Up, the City of Greater Sudbury, Muskoka Watershed Council and lake organizations in Eastern Ontario. Working with local lake associations, the regional partners are conducting shoreline assessments from boats. The process involves looking at every property on the lake and offering up individualized reports to landowners suggesting ways in which they can improve their land management practices and help increase the health of their lake. Suggestions include planting more trees and shrubs by the shore, the so-called “ribbon of life”, which has huge impacts on improving the quality of the water, the habitat for fish and wildlife and property values. So does maintaining a healthy septic system, not using fertilizers or pesticides and using nature friendly

products. “We’re very excited about this program,” says David Browne, (Program Manager at CWF) “all participating regions of the province are now using the same method to assess shorelines and provide advice to landowners.” The program has been well received by local lake associations with 17 participating in this the pilot year. Over 1,700 properties will be assessed and individual reports handed out to landowners this year alone. “Our hope is that this new information and newfound commitment on the part of land owners will translate to stewardship action on the ground,” stated Barbara King, Executive Director of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds. If your lake association is interested in participating in this program or for more information on the Love Your Lake program, visit www.loveyourlake.ca or contact Lynn Preston, Provincial Coordinator at preston@watersheds.ca or (613)-264-1244. Funding for this program is provided, in part, by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Three Summer Company businesses merge By DOREEN BARNES

EMC Business – Three individuals from previous Summer Company initiatives, a youth program through the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre, (LGSBEC) have come together to form the 1000 Islands Lawn and Landscaping Company, a seasonal business. Something LGSBEC has not seen before. In 2011, Rhys Larry offered RL Lawn Care, while in 2012 Harrison Olajos ran Property Maintenance and Landscaping and Robbie Deeks operated Lawn Care and Gardening. This program allows students the opportunity to challenge themselves as to whether they have the entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to experience the role of being their own boss and manage a small business. While taking the program, these three started their own companies. This year they decided to merge into one company, 1000 Islands Lawn and Landscaping Company. “I knew I wanted to continue with a summer business,” said Deeks. “I had talked to Rhys the previous summer about working together. When Harrison mentioned he wanted to continue his business we all sort of agreed it would be a great

Two prior Summer Company students, Harrison Olajos (left) and Robbie Deeks (right) are congratulated by Wendy Onstein, manager, Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre, regarding the partnership these two have with Rhys Larry. The three formed 1000 Islands Lawn and Landscaping and can be reached at ThousandIslandsLawn@ gmail.com or visit their website at www.1000IslandsLL.ca and by telephone, call 613-802-8916. They also have a Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/1000IslandsLL.

opportunity to be partners together.” With two of the three out of town, they set-up Skype meetings on a weekly basis. “One hurdle of our partnership was just getting organized early on, as Rhys and I were away at University,” said Deeks. “Rhys was in Wolfville, Nova Scotia at Acadia University, and I was in London at the University of Western, while Harrison remained in Brockville in his final year of high school.” For these three, they used their skills and experience to dictate the part everyone plays in the partnership, plus referring back to the business outline. “Another challenge we faced was being aware of who was responsible for what in the business,” added Deeks. “This was something Wendy (Wendy Onstein, manager of LGSBEC) and Nicole (Nicole Hanson, business development coordinator of LGSBEC) had warned us in the early stages of the partnership. Thanks to them we had created an outline that assigned clear roles and responsibilities so when we ran into confusion about who was to do what we just referred back to our outline.” Olajos takes care of the Landscaping section of the company as Larry covers the property maintenance. He does all the labour and manages it as well.

Deeks takes care of the marketing and finance, and helps manage clients with Larry for property maintenance. Deeks will meet with potential clients to provide quotes to help save Olajos time while he is working on other jobs. “The three of us work together to make sure the company is running smoothly and keep communicating on a daily basis,” shared Deeks, “to update each other on what is going on at every end of the company, to keep everyone on the same page.” Services provided include a full range of property maintenance, such as lawn care, brush cutting, yard clean up, gardening and more. As for landscaping they include such things as patio design installation and repair, walkway design and installation, as well as garden and driveway edging. “Our business season runs from May until the end of August,” indicated Deeks, “as all three of us are heading to university this fall.” Larry is entering his third year at Acadia University for kinesiology as Deeks attends his second year at Western University specializing in marketing while Olajos See COMPANY page 33

EMC Lifestyle - In Lanark, Leeds and Grenville there are many opportunities to celebrate local, healthy and nutritious foods. You can begin by visiting your local farmers’ markets and community gardens where local fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be found. Talking to the farmers will help you learn which foods grow well in our areas and how they are grown. Many grocery stores also carry local foods. At Rideau Valley Diabetes Services we offer free grocery store tours that explore foods and food labels in local grocery stores. Learning to read labels will help you prepare nutritious meals for you and your family. You can also plant your own garden or grow smaller vegetables in pots at home. When it comes time to cook, make sure to use healthier methods such as broiling, baking, and steaming. If cooking has become a chore or you would like to take your skills to another level, consider some new cookbooks from your local library or go to www. dietitians.ca/eatwell for new recipe ideas. Another option is to attend a cooking class in your community. For people with Diabetes or Prediabetes, Rideau Valley Diabetes Services hosts cooking groups monthly in Smiths Falls and Brockville. You can register for any of our programs

by calling (613)-284-2558; 613-498-1555; or 1-877-321-4500. Finally, the monthly Good Food Box program is a great way to celebrate fresh food. This program provides a box of assorted fresh fruits and vegetables at wholesale price. For example, a $15 Good Food Box could contain: bananas, apples, pears, carrots, potatoes, green pepper, lettuce, broccoli, cucumber, onions, and tomatoes. For more information stop by the Salvation Army Thrift Store in Brockville (181 King St.) or Prescott (183 King St.) or call 613-342-5211. In Smiths Falls, stop by the Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) or call (613)-283-1952. To register for any of our programs or for more information call: 613-498-1555 (Brockville office), (613) 284-2558 (Smiths Falls office), toll free: 1-877-321-4500.

Clark proud of Ontario PC food plan EMC News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is welcoming a PC Caucus amendment to the Local Food Act that would provide a tax credit to farmers who donate their products to their local food bank. Clark was at a Queen’s Park press conference recently where it was announced the PCs are putting forward the amendment, modeled on Sarnia-Lambton MPP Bob Bailey’s private member’s bill Fighting Hunger with Local Food Act. Bailey made the announcement along with Ontario PC Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Critic Ernie Hardeman (Oxford). “The agricultural community and food banks in Leeds-Grenville have been strong supporters of this tax credit, which will ensure local families have better access to fresh, high-quality Ontario food,” said Clark. “I’m pleased that we’ve brought this amendment for-

ward and I’m hopeful the government will support it because it will make a big difference to families in my riding and across Ontario.” The proposed amendment would grant a non-refundable tax credit worth 25 per cent of the wholesale value to farmers who choose to donate their excess agricultural products to local food banks. It would also allow unused tax credits to be carried forward for up to five years. Clark noted while food banks are struggling to meet demand, every year in Ontario some 25 million pounds of fresh, quality produce is ploughed back into fields by farmers. Often, the produce was rejected by grocers for cosmetic reasons such as size, shape or colour. Among the local food banks that have expressed support for MPP Bailey’s private member’s bill is Food For All, which serves South Grenville residents.

The knowledge that they have in this area was extremely beneficial for us. Meeting with

them gave us new ideas which lead to our company operating more sufficiently on a day to day basis.” Deeks also shared some suggestions for anyone thinking of starting a business. “There are two key components to running a business that we have learned, and those are planning and action,” advised Deeks. “You need to have a plan well ahead of ever actually doing anything business related. You also need action, because a plan without action is not useful either. .”

Can’t beat giant robots battling giant monsters on big screen Though it seems completely unnecessary there is a plot. Giant alien monsters called kaiju start coming out of an inter-dimensional breech in the Pacific Ocean. The first takes six days to kill and destroy three cities. The world then bands together, and builds giant robots called R0012213455_0718

jaegers to fight them. The jaegers are incredible war machines, but due to their sheer size and complexity it takes two pilots with their minds linked to operate them. The war rages for years, and the jaegers seem to turn the tide, but the kaiju kept coming. They get bigger, stronger, and more dangerous. Then they start to come through the breech more frequently, and begin to overwhelm the jaegers. Now the last four jaegers are going

to make one last run to try and close the breech. The problem is one of the jaegers, Gypsy Danger, needs a pilot. Marshal Pentecost (Idris Elba), the man in charge of the jaegers, knows just the guy. Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) was one of the original pilots of Gypsy Danger along with his brother. Then his brother was killed in action, and Raleigh walked away from the program. With the fate of the world in the balance Raleigh agrees to go back, but without his brother he has to train a new partner. Enter Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). She’s skilled, eager and a perfect match for Raleigh. She’s also never been in a real jaeger, and has her own emotional issues. Who said saving the world would be easy? I can’t believe they bothered with as much story and character development as they did. I get it. Your character has deep

emotional scars, and is highly motivated to kill kaiju. I just don’t care. I want less talk and more giant robot-fighting-giantmonster action. I actually like the cast. Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi have good chemistry, do some cool martial arts, and look like they know how to pilot a giant robot. Idris Elba is a fantastic actor and just the person to deliver the obligatory inspirational speech. Charlie Day and Burn Gorman play the token scientists and provide quality comic relief along with Ron Pearlman who’s outstanding as underworld kingpin Hannibal Chau. Pacific Rim is what summer blockbusters are all about. Massive spectacles with jaw dropping effects, larger than life story lines, and giant robots fighting giant monsters.

Playhouse Young Company receives RBC emerging artist project grant EMC Entertainment – On Saturday, June 29, four young theatre artists gathered in front of a sold-out crowd at the opening night of Boeing Boeing to accept a $5,000 RBC Emerging Artist Project Grant. These artists (Lauren Albin, Alex Oliver, Jacqueline Peter and Kelly Speagle) are known by children across Eastern Ontario as the Thousand Islands Playhouse Young Company. Each year the Thousand Islands Playhouse hires four emerging theatre artists to comprise the Young Company (supported by the Town of Gananoque, the Gurney Family, Canada Summer Jobs and RBC). Alongside professional artistic staff at the Playhouse the troupe rehearses a children’s show which then tours to schools throughout Eastern Ontario. This year, the Young Company had a very successful run of Peg and the Yeti, (based on the best-selling book by Kenneth Oppel) which brought imaginative live theatre to over 50 schools and libraries as well as local parks in Gananoque. New this year, and thanks to the gen-

erous donation from RBC, the Playhouse was able to introduce an intensive training program for the Young Company. Along with the experience of performing in schools, they also got a chance to train and hone specific skills in a variety of theatrical disciplines. Their training included classes in dance, singing, acting, yoga, improvisation, script analysis, playwriting, and vocal masque as well as mentorships with professional theatre artists. The classes, taught by industry professionals, culminated with a Cabaret Night showcasing the Young Company’s original work and talents. Young Company member Alex Oliver speaks of having “great epiphanies on the art of theatre that I can carry with me for the rest of my life.” Young Company Director Charlotte Gowdy notes “It has been incredibly rewarding to watch these four young artists learn and grow throughout this process. They have been training very hard and their commitment and discipline is paying off. I look forward to watching their careers take-off!”

Lengthy schedule of entertainment for Rockport Prohibition Days EMC Entertainment - Because Prohibition curtailed individual freedoms, it was basically unenforceable. Also, it created a double standard‌ high society had fully-stocked liquor cabinets. It lasted seven years longer in the United States and offered the local ‘river rats’ of Rockport, (only three miles across water from the U.S.) a lucrative opportunity to make money from running illegal alcohol to the States. Because it was not illegal to possess or consume alcohol, rum-running was really considered more of a sport than a dishonourable profession. Consequently Prohibition was flaunted by many and this also led to a widespread contempt for authority. Please join us this coming Aug. 16 to 18 to celebrate the role that Rockport played in the days of Prohibition at ‘Rockport Prohibition Days’ as we also ‘flaunt’ Prohibition. Our festival is being officially opened at 6:45 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16 by the Township of Leeds and Thousand Islands Mayor Frank Kinsella, MP Gord Brown and MPP Steve Clark. Organizers hope those attending will consider dressing up as a flapper, or a gangster, or any personality of the period, and perhaps enter the fashion show at 7 p.m. Then your feet will hit the street to the 1920’s tunes of the eight piece Brian Downey band at 8 p.m. Our Cornwall’s Point ‘Speakeasy’ (beer tent), Zelda’s, opens at five on Friday and at noon on Saturday and our password is ‘River Rat’. ‘Strut your stuff’ again on Saturday and enjoy the many activities planned to entertain. Dreams in Motion from Gananoque and Limestone Swing Dance Studio from Kingston will show those in at-

tendance how to execute the steps to the dances of the Roaring Twenties‌the Charleston, the Lindy Hop, and others. The Kingston Townsmen, an acapello barbershop group, will entertain in 20’s fashion, as will CafĂŠ Gananoque- piano man, Doug Gifford, and his female accompanist. On Saturday there will be an adult and a children’s running race on the Parkway which is taking signups online through the Running Room in Kingston. There will also be a Vendors’ Village‌ vendors are still welcome to enter the event by emailing: glast10@hotmail.com. ‘Flappers Finery’ will be sold at a costume accessories kiosk for those of who perhaps wish to dress up and feel more a part of the Twenties’ experience. Poster girl, Zelda Fitzgerald, after whom we have named the ‘speakeasy’ (beer tent), typifies the quintessential flapper who defied convention and wanted to experience everything. How about dressing up as a Prohibition agent and raiding ‘Zelda’s Speak’? Or come dressed as Al Capone- the best dressed gangster of the Twenties. If you’re a local ‘river rat’, join the Ed Huck Marine Rum Runner’s River Boat Challenge at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and travel the islands in a rum-running adventure. Prizes will be awarded. There will be a contingent of Temperance women, admonishing us about the evils of alcohol, but of course we will defy them. This Prohibition festival is not ‘dry’. Vintage cars with drivers in period costume with their Tommy guns will be here. A Children’s

Zone will open on Saturday from 12 noon until 4 p.m. A Rum Runners- themed Rockport Boatline cruise leaves at 6 p.m. on Saturday and Caiger’s Riverside Resort will host the Flapper’s Ball finale at 8 p.m. Saturday night. Sunday will see an old-fashioned family picnic and an antique boat show. Box lunches will be

available for sale, or bring your own and your picnic blanket or lawn chair. Come rock and roar with us in Roaring Twenties’ fashion‌at ‘Rockport Prohibition Days’ Aug. 16 to 18, 2013. For more info visit www.rockportthousandislands.com and look “Under the Flapper’s Fringeâ€?.

Best wishes are exchanged every year among Barbara Howard of Trenton, Phyllis Wingfield of Athens and their 94-year-old mother, Mary Wingfield Hanink of Brockville. Each were born on July 12. Local residents may remember Mary from Wingfield Jewellers. The daughters agree that they have a very strong mother who has had heart stints put in years ago and just last year, faced major surgery. They feel that she is healthier than ever before and thoroughly enjoy their visits with her at Rosedale Retirement Centre. Happy Birthday Mary Wingfield Hanink!

with a half shot of say 30-50 yards. Prove it to yourself the next time you go out and play. Rather than belting your driver off every tee, use some strategy and play your tee shot where you will be left with 100 yards or so for your approach shot. You’ll probably surprise yourself on how much easier it is to play the game like this. Your go to yardage will differ from other players, you have to go to your own go to yardage which could be 120 yards. Everybody’s will be different. Remember this, when you get done your round and you meet your buddies, they usually ask you ‘how did it go today?’ or ‘how did you do?’ They are basically asking what was your score, not how far you hit your driver. Think about that one for a minute here. Keep your ball in play off the tee and those lower scores will soon follow. In summarizing, use a tee shot strategy that will play to the strengths of your game. And you know it really doesn’t matter how much you curve the ball as long as you compensate and allow for it to land in the fairway. The Tincap Golf Course certainly has the practice facility to accommodate you here. Use the markers they have set up as your imaginary left tree line and the fence and small trees as your right tree line. Then hit away. Good luck out there and remember to keep your tee ball in the short grass. J R Ryan, CGTF Level Three Golf Instructor, teaches exclusively at the Tincap Golf Course.

DAVIS, Dan - In loving memory of a dear son who passed away July 23, 2010. Have you ever lost a son Who meant everything to you, One who you loved so very much And miss him like I do? Have you ever had a heartache Or felt that awful pain, Or shed those bitter tears, That drop like fallen rain? If you’ve never had this feeling, I pray you never do, For when you lose a son You lose a part of you. Forever remembered with love Mom

BEDOR, Joseph H. In memory of my dear husband who died July 17, 2011. I cried when you died two years ago And I still cry today They say that time heals But time will not change the way I feel For no one knows the heartache That lies behind my smiles I want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You are so wonderful to think of But so very hard to live without. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered your wife Gertrude

Riddell would use the outside groove on the start to grab the early race lead with Stephane Lafrance, Lloyd, Joe Banks and Luke Stewart rounding out the top 5. Riddell would lead the opening four laps until Lafrance made the pass for the lead off turn 4. Once in front Lafrance showed how strong he was by pulling away to a straight away lead by lap 9 with Riddell, Banks, Lloyd, and Stewart completing the top 5. On lap 12 the first yellow would fly for Riddell who spun off turn number 2. On the restart Lafrance continued his dominance but some heavy hitters were moving forward.

Kirkland had a quick race car and jumped out to a healthy straight away lead with Tyson Slinger, Corbin Miller, Tyler Markell and Joe McNichols completing the top 5 early on. Kirkland had not won at the speedway in over a year and was looking to get back into victory lane. After the halfway point Quincy Roberts, Slinger and Mike Best started to charge to the front of the field. With 1 lap to go Tyler Markell sailed off turn 1 flipping end over end. Markell escaped injury but his car was done for the night.

lead the opening three laps until the first yellow flew for Todd Raabe who slowed off turn 4. Andrews continued to hold the top spot with John Gifford, Alex Gagnon, Steve Kearney and Danny Mocibob completing the top 5. Andrews and Gifford had the two fastest cars on the race track and they quickly pulled away from third place Gagnon and the battle was on for the lead. Gifford tried several attempts to get by but Andrews held the lead with Kearney, Gagnon and threetime champion Kevin Fetterly Jr. rounding out the top 5. With one lap to go Andrews seemed to slow heading into turn 1 as the handling began to go south due to a slowly leaking right front tire. It did not matter as Travis Andrews held on for the popular win over Gifford, Gagnon, Fetterly and Brock Cullen. In the Rookie nightcap, Mike Best continued his great season by jumping out to the early race lead in the 15-lap affair with Ron Day, Quincy Roberts, Tyson Slinger and Dave Watchorn making up the top 5 early on. On lap 12 the final caution flew for Corbin Miller who hit the wall on the front stretch. On the final restart Roberts jumped out in front and would hang on to collect win #2 of the season over McNichols, Best, Watchorn and Tyson Slinger.

On lap 20 the yellow flew for Luke Whitteker and Bryan Rogers, who tangled in turn 4. Rogers received the most damage as he was towed to the pits, done for the race. One lap later the yellow would fly for Andy Lloyd as he spun on the back stretch and was hit head-on by John Mulder. Both drivers were able to walk away but were also towed to the pits. Lafrance jumped out front on the restart but his car began to slow allowing Danny O’Brien to fly by on the top side off turn 2 with four laps remaining. Lafrance’s great night would end quickly as he blew a tire forcing him pitside. He would return at the back of the field. Steve Bilow also brought the yellow out on lap 27 as he blew a motor collecting April Wilson. On the last restart Danny O’Brien rocketed to a three car-length lead and would hold it the rest of the way for his third win in a row and fourth of the season over Dingwall. Lee Gill charged his way forward from 13th to finish third. Pat and Tim O’Brien rounded out the top 5.

Expanded Gil Read memorial tournament brings 12 fastpitch teams to Carp July 26-28

Three divisions The participants have been split into three, four-team pools. There will be four round-robin games played Friday night and 14 on Saturday (July 27). The top two clubs in each division, plus two wild cards, will advance to the playoffs on Sunday. All teams will seed according to a tiebreaking formula agreed on prior to the competition, Read observes. With eight teams left in the event four sudden death, quarter final games will

has a reputation as an excellent tournament venue. Fastball fans from Eastern Ontario and West Quebec will have an opportunity to see some of the top fastball players in the region do battle on two diamonds. The venture was moved to Carp in 2010 in hopes of attracting more fans and increase revenues. Chris and his cousin Al Read, who plays for Carp 14C Victory, are once again heading the organizing committee. The Read cousins encourage area fans to come out and watch some excellent fastball in Carp this weekend. Kars (formerly Team Easton) has captured eight of the last 10 championships in GOFL and its predecessor the Kemptville Men’s Fastball League. Team Easton swept to five straight titles between 2003 and 2007. Those who attend the tournament will find a large refreshment tent on site and food (hot dogs and hamburgers) will be available all weekend. A day pass for the tournament is $5 per person while a weekend pass is $10. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free and there will be lots of

be played Sunday morning. At 1 p.m. the highest surviving seed will battle the lowest survivor in one semi-final. At the same time the remaining teams dual for the other place in the final. The championship game is set for 3:30 p.m. (time approximate). To add a little spice to the proceedings on the final day of the venture, a home run derby has been scheduled. It will take place between the quarter final and semi-final games on Sunday. As mentioned, this marks the fourth straight year the competition will be staged at the expansive fairgrounds in the village of Carp in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. All funds raised during the competition will go to assist underprivileged children who wish to play organized sports. “We now have applications from people who are looking for financial assistance and we have a committee in place to consider the applications,” Read notes. He says the applications are indicative of the fact people are aware of the tournament and the financial assistance it provides. In terms of the sport of fastball itself, the quality of the teams participating is the indicator of the tournament’s growing reputation. Donnacona (Quebec City area) won the 2011 competition. Elkland Thunderbellys (Elkland is located in north-central Pennsylvania) have enjoyed strong success over the years. They are making their second straight appearance in the Gil Read memorial. Ottawa Team Easton Thunder (now Kars) captured the first two events in 2008 and 2009. The Lake Ontario area town of Napanee will be represented by the well regarded Napanee Express organization. They will field both Senior and Junior teams in the tournament this year. Besides Carp, Fitzroy Harbour, Kars and Micksburg the other three GOFL entries are Stittsville 56ers, Manotick Taylor’s Blitz and Barrhaven Broadway Blues. Pool A will include Carp and Fitzroy along with Micksburg and Napanee Juniors. Pool B will be comprised of Donnacona, Elkland, Stittsville and Manotick. Rounding out the event in Pool C is Sharon, Kars, Barrhaven and Napanee Seniors. The opening night schedule will see league rivals face-off. Stittsville plays Manotick and Kars takes on Barrhaven. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m. At 9 o’clock host Carp faces Micksburg while Fitzroy Harbour will tangle with Napanee Juniors. The remaining four teams will be featured in the opening games Saturday. At 8 a.m. what promises to be a classic showdown involving Donnacona and Elkland takes place. At 9 a.m. Lake Simcoe and Napanee Seniors will clash. Those games will be followed by a dozen more round-robin match-ups Saturday. Tempting purse The tournament winner will pocket $1,800 while the runner-up takes home $700. The third and fourth place entries will each receive $250. Read feels they have achieved a major goal by reaching an enrolment of 12 teams this year. The lowest number was eight clubs at the first tournament in 2008. The highest entry levels came in 2010 and 2011 when 10 teams participated. Another big objective is additional corporate sponsorship. This is the fourth straight showdown to take place at Carp Fairgrounds which

EMC Sports - The success of the ‘Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament’ has created more interest and that will be reflected this year as the competition will feature a dozen teams, including some of the best on the continent. The expanded, sixth annual men’s tournament opens Friday night, July 26 in Carp and continues all day Saturday (July 27) before concluding with the championship game late Sunday (July 28). Among the entrants are Quebec powerhouse Donnaconna Blue Sox, Elkland Thunderbellys, a top-flight squad from Pennsylvania along with two teams from Napanee and a new participant, the Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning. Sharon was champions of the Oshawa City and District Fastball League last season. Seven teams from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) should create plenty of interest. Among them are local favourites Carp I4C Victory and Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric who will battle it out in the same pool (division). The GOFL contingent will be led by three-time defending league champion Kars Aces. Kars, the perennial district champions, currently leads the South Division of the eight-team league. Joining the local loop this season is Micksburg Twins from the Pembroke area in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Twins have made a major impression in their first GOFL season. They lead the North Division and the entire league at this stage of the campaign with an impressive 9-2 record. “It’s been a long ride but this year, for the first time, we were able to reach our goal of 12 teams for the tournament,” says Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read and one of the chief organizers of the competition. Gil Read died tragically in 2007 and the competition, to honour the memory of the long-time fastball coach, began at Carlington Park in Ottawa the following year. The event was moved to Carp in 2010 to take advantage of superior facilities at the village’s popular fairgrounds. “We actually had 16 teams who expressed interest this year. But we decided to go with 12. Still, it’s good for the future that so many teams are interested in our tournament now,” Read observes. Last July the always highly rated Toronto Gators swept to victory in the fifth annual Gil Read classic in Carp, winning all six of their outings. They doubled Kars 8-4 in the championship game of the then 10-team tournament. Unfortunately Gators are not available to defend their title this July. But it’s expected Sharon Lightning will be a worthy new entry. Lightning, along with Micksburg, are first-time entrants. “It’s too bad (Toronto) Gators had a conflict. But with Donnaconna, Elkland and Sharon we have some worthy competitors,” Read explains. “It promises to be a really good weekend.”
