DEADLINES

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – The Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville asks residents to consider hosting a coffee break between Sept. 20 and Oct. 31. The events would raise much-needed funds for the many programs that are continually being offered and will be increasing in need.

This nationwide annual fundraiser is an incentive to gather with friends, co-workers or anyone one wishes for a donation in exchange for a cup of coffee.

With dementia on the rise, it’s important to have the many resources needed to support the existing services and programs that the local Society offers.

“Currently the Alzheimer Society of Ontario estimates that by 2020, close to one quarter of a millions seniors in Ontario will be living with dementia,” said Denise Wood, executive director, Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville.

According to Wood, the current population over the age of 65 residing in Leeds and Grenville is 19,650. With reference to the Hopkins Report of 2010, there are 1,946 cases of dementia. That equates to 10 per cent of this area’s population.

The deadline for all St. Lawrence EMC advertising is 4:30 P.M. FRIDAY. Deadline for editorial is now Monday at 10 a.m.

This will be the 17th annual Alzheimer Coffee Break and last year the campaign raised $16,770.

This year the target is $17,000.

“With the money we raised last year, we were able to continue providing our existing services and expand programs such as community education and awareness, the support groups, the men’s cooking program and art therapy. These are all vital,” said Wood.

This year the Bulk Barn in Brockville and its corporate office will be matching any Coffee Break cut-outs purchased, up to $10 on Sept. 21.

In fact Brockville mayor David Henderson will be at the Bulk Barn location, 2462 Parkedale Ave., at 10 a.m., on that date.

So look for Coffee Break cut-outs at various locations to donate.

Companies supporting the Alzheimer Society are Bulk Barn, Mother Parkers Tea and Coffee Inc., and Kent Building Supplies.

The employees at Scotiabank, 7 King Street West, Brockville will be having a Coffee Break container on their counter for the month of September asking customers to donate their pennies, dubbed ‘Penny for your Thoughts’.

Gananoque running for Terry Fox September 16

File photo

Nora Heddon of Gananoque, team member and a survivor of kidney cancer, led hundreds of participants during last year’s Terry Fox Run in Gananoque. This year the event will be held this Sunday, Sept. 16. cated to raising awareness and funds for cancer research.

This brave young man was Terry Fox, son of Betty and Rolly Fox of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.

Sadly, he would never achieve his goal. The cancer would not be stopped and invaded his lungs.

Therefore, after 5,373 kilometres and just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., on Sept. 1, 1980, he was forced to stop. On June 28, 1981, he succumbed to the cancer and died.

Sadly, Betty died on June 17, 2011, leaving a life-long legacy of love and dedication behind her. But she and Terry will never be forgotten.

Communities throughout Canada have been holding annual Terry Fox Runs for the

past 32 years to help fulfill his dream of defeating cancer. An unrelenting disease, it comes in many forms and can strike anyone at any age. All funds collected from these events go directly to the Terry Fox Foundation to pay for needed research.

Gananoque has been holding an annual Terry Fox Run since 1988, and has raised more than half a million dollars since that time.

“Ann DeWolfe, Legion Manager of Gananoque, is this year’s team member and cancer survivor. She will be out to talk to the kids at Linklater and St. Joseph’s schools,” says Bunny Randall, one of the organizers of the Gananoque Terry Fox Run.

NOCO Fuels Canada awarded Esso branded Fuels and Lubricants reseller business for Eastern Ontario by Imperial Oil

“It’s important to let people know that their dollars really are helping. Every time cancer research lets another patient go into remission, it’s because of the generous donations of ev-

eryone out there.”

For more information or to participate, please contact Bunny Randall at 613-3822591 or bunny_randall@yahoo.com.

Saturday, September 15, 2012 Leave any unwanted but still useful items at the curb in front of your house by 9 a.m. on this date. Remove any uncollected treasures from the curb that evening. Residents who fail to remove uncollected treasures from the curb will be subject to fines of $75 to $5,000.

Happy Hunting!

Be a money-mentor You want the best for your kids. That’s why you send them off to school and mentor them at home. Education is vital to success in life, but an important skill-set your kids likely won’t get at school is a dollars and sense education.

Age-appropriate moneymanagement skills that are best learned from you.

6 – 12 years Make saving fun! Give them a special bank to fill with coins from you and others. Mark their graduation to a real bank account and give them an allowance tied to completing certain tasks. A fixed amount is best because it teaches that serious choices need to be made when it comes to spending or saving. Get them to buy into pay-yourself-first strategy by saving at least ten percent of their allowance and explain how interest makes their money grow.

Other good money education tools are board games and interactive websites such as the Bank of Canada’s (www. bankofcanada.ca) and the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education’s (www. moneyandyouth.cfee.org).

Use shopping trips to discus debit and credit with particular emphasis on the fact that most credit cards carry much higher interest rates than other forms of borrowing, such as a personal loan.

Manage Your Money 12 – 16 years Give your kids a hand developing their own simple budget that includes keeping their tax receipts and statements so they can keep track of where their money went. Factor in a charitable giving component to show them how their money can have a positive impact on the community. Give them a bonus allowance for extra work that must be invested.

Introduce them to concepts of compounding and taxsaving through RRSP eligible investments and other longterm investments.

16 – 18 years Be sure each child files a tax return as soon as they have a job that results in a T4. This will give them an up close and personal view of income taxes and they’ll build up room for future contributions RRSP eligible investments.

Co-sign for a low-limit credit card in their name.

Monitor its use and stress the importance of making monthly payments to maintain their good credit rating while avoiding high interest rates and late fees.

Use their monthly credit card statements to discuss spending patterns and best

uses for their purchasing power.

Involve your kids in family financial discussions and explain how your family budget must balance expenses and income. Introduce them to investment products such as stock, bonds, Guaranteed Investment Certificates, and registered and nonregistered savings plans.

Explain investment concepts like portfolio diversification and risk/reward decisions as well as the role insurance plays in maintaining financial stability and family protection.

A recent investment by a family owned company is making business news in Eastern Ontario. NOCO Canada, a family owned and locally operated company has been serving Canada’s energy needs for decades. The company is leveraging their rich heritage in the business with an expansion of their fuel and lubricant operations into the Trenton and Ottawa areas. As a proud Esso and Mobil branded reseller, NOCO supplies heating oil, gasoline, diesel, and lubricants to serve residential, farm, commercial, and industrial customers.

“With almost eighty years of experience in the energy business, we are honoured to have the opportunity to serve the hard working consumers of this region,” noted Mark Yeatman, General Manager of NOCO Fuels Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of NOCO Canada.

With this expansion, NOCO has established more local offices to efficiently and safely deliver high-quality products at competitive prices. With office locations in Toronto, Trenton, Ottawa and Pembroke, NOCO simplifies access for their customers by allowing them to get all of their products from one place.

One major change customers will see is the elimination of a national call center. By establishing local offices and working with local personnel, NOCO is keeping business local and investing in communities. Other improved operations include online ordering and automatic payments, with online billpay coming soon. NOCO’s customers can expect the prompt, courteous, and dependable service they deserve.

As the second largest Mobil distributor in North America, NOCO’s expansion has created a stronger product mix to more completely serve their customers.

The company provides a full line of Mobil lubricants for automotive, fleet, industrial, metalworking, and specialty needs. NOCO also offers a used oil recycling program in some areas to make sure that businesses never need to worry about the proper collection, transportation, and processing of the waste they generate.

“We believe the addition of the new products and new geography allows NOCO to address unmet consumer needs in the territory. Along with our key product brands, Mobil and Esso, we offer excellent service and local personnel.

Our distribution model is strong and this new venture will provide strong value to the consumers throughout the region,” said James D. Newman, President of NOCO Canada.

For more information, visit noco.ca or call 1-888-284-7777.

Registration starts at 9 a.m.

Gananoque’s Terry Fox Run will start with registration at the Town Hall on King Street East at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept.

16, with the run itself starting at 10 a.m.

There is a run of 10 kilometres and a simultaneous one of 3k through the streets of Gananoque, with all proceeds going to cancer research.

There is also a raffle being held, with the draw being at the time of the run. Tickets are available at sale tables at different places throughout town and may be purchased for $2 each, or three for $5.”

This year’s prizes are a basket of goodies donated by Jeanne Brown, two pictures of the old boat houses donated by Ray Tedford and a package of gift certificates from area restaurants.

“The day of the run there will be a bake sale at the park,” said Randall. “So everyone can walk and then buy some goodies or buy some goodies and then walk.

EMC Events - “Set your goals high and never, ever give up on your dreams.”

– Betty Fox “I thought he was crazy,” Betty Fox is quoted as saying about her son Terry’s run across Canada. But she supported him every step of the way, and after his death continued to go out and speak to the public about him and his dream. Over the years she spoke to nearly half a million students alone, sharing his story and urging her listeners to live and dream big.

On April 12, 1980, a young man made a gesture which would plant him firmly in the hearts of not only Canadians but people around the world.

Having been a star athlete, he had lost his right leg to osteogenic sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, at the age of 20 and was forced to get around with the aid of a prosthetic.

Undaunted by this cruel twist of fate, he dipped this artificial right leg in the Atlantic Ocean at St. John’s Harbour, Newfoundland, then started off on his Marathon of Hope, intending to run across Canada in increments of 42 kilometres (equal to a standard marathon in distance) per day until he reached the Pacific Ocean at Vancouver, British Columbia.

There, he would dip it again in closure of his journey dedi-

McCabe shares lessons of Olympic success with Front of Yonge Elementary School students EMC News – Passion.

Out of all the ingredients

for a true champion, this is perhaps the most important.

That was the message Olympian Conlin McCabe

R0021590142

brought to Front of Yonge Elementary School last Thursday when he shared details of his silver-medal-winning performance last month at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

During one of several intimate presentations before small groups of Front of Yonge students, McCabe explained that true passion drives success, because it helps a person overcome obstacles in life to attain their goals.

“Find something that you love to do and do it,” he advised the elementary students.

“This is what happened to me with rowing. I found something I loved and because of that it never seems like work to me.”

The 22-year-old Brockville native must have a lot of love for the sport. The undergraduate student at the University of Washington spoke fondly of a grueling training schedule in the months leading up to the Olympic Games. The team’s training philosophy under coach Mike Spracklen was “mileage makes champions.”

Spracklen had the team on the water at the Canadian Olympic training facility in Victoria three times daily.

The team was required to row a minimum of 50 kilometres a day, McCabe explained.

The idea was that they would train harder, get stronger and develop more endurance than any other crew on the water.

While the team attained Olympic glory, McCabe told

the students how even champions can get off their game.

After setting the world record at the 2012 World Cup, the overanxious Canadians “went crazy” in their first heat of the Olympics, overdid it, and came in dead last.

In the final though, McCabe told students that team members regained their composure and adopted a game plan that “kept it simple.”

They didn’t worry about topranked Germany, instead focusing on the British, Australians and Dutch – crews they knew they could beat. If the Canadians were leading those challengers at the 1,750-metre mark, they would go out of their comfort zone and take on the Germans in the final 250 metres, he explained.

Students were able to see how the strategy led to success in a video of the edgeof-your-seat final that put McCabe on the podium. The six-minute video showed the team pulling hard in third place throughout most of the race, tiring out the British and then pulling ahead in the final 250 metres to challenge the gold-medal winning Germans right up to the finish line. McCabe and his crew took silver in a final time of 5:49.98, just shy of the German’s winning time of 5:48.75. Great Britain took bronze in 5:51.18.

The Olympian surprised some students when he told them that he slept only “four to five hours” the night before the final and had a hard time eating before the race because of “butterflies” in his

stomach.

However, McCabe told the children that butterflies can be used to anyone’s advantage.

“You have to channel that nervousness into positive energy,” said McCabe.

The rower also recalled how some athletes at the Games were tormented by emotions days after their event after they failed to perform as expected. He told the students that they, just like Olympic athletes, must see success in terms of the totality of their accomplishments.

“These athletes were devastated three, four, even five days after their competitions,” he said. “I can understand that, because they put a lot of work into it and it didn’t work out as expected so they were completely devastated.

“But you must remember that it is not just the end result you have to think about, it is the success of the journey to get there.”

Caleb Lidlow, a Grade 6 student at the school, said he enjoyed the speech because McCabe talked about the importance of perseverance in achieving success.

The 10-year-old, who posed for a picture with McCabe, added it was thrilling to see an Olympian in the flesh.

“I always watch the winter Olympics but this is the first time I’ve watched the summer games,” he said. “It was pretty cool that a summer Olympian was in our school.”

A local firm even came by to power wash many of the homes that line the street.

The intention of the cleanup is to bring people together

and â&#x20AC;&#x153;have a major impact on the entire street,â&#x20AC;? explained Alison Tutak, director of human services with HSC. One of the cornerstone pieces of the project is the new anniversary garden and sign, located at the corner of

Fort Town Drive and Boundary Street. It was officially unveiled that afternoon during a ceremony presided over by several local politicians including Prescott mayor Brett Todd and UCLG warden Mel Campbell.

Volunteers work through the rain to prepare the new anniversary garden along Fort Town Drive last Tuesday, Sept. 4.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Government’s actions leaves teachers in tough spot DEAR EDITOR: With summer almost over and the beginning of another school year already here, teachers are being targeted by the provincial government as part of the cure for the deficit.

Pending legislation to freeze contracts has bred suspicion and even more distrust of the real intentions of Premier Dalton McGuinty.

In recent years, this premier has made a point of promoting the value of early childhood education, has instituted full-day schooling for junior and senior kindergarten age children and has courted the support of teachers’ unions. This time, with Education Minister Lauren Broten as the spokesperson, he has raised the ire of teachers’ unions and teachers, too.

Contracts are negotiated with the school boards but, this time, the school boards were ignored. Fighting words, such as strike, lockout, and back-to-work legislation are not conducive to a good working atmosphere; teachers have stated emphatically that they will be in the classroom, doing the job they love to do, on Sept. 4. If this issue ends up in the Supreme Court, the government could be found in breach of its own Labour Relations Act.

Teachers are a favourite focus of criticism by many facets of the population. Haven’t you heard? The reason we are teachers is because of the big salary, the two months summer holiday, the Christmas and Easter holidays as well as PA days.

Lack of information often results in misconceptions. That is the case as it relates to those of us who have given many years teaching and learning with children. From an early age I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I didn’t know there was pay involved; I wanted to go to school seven days a week, all year. Maybe I was ahead of my time!

My experience has been that those who choose to teach, do so because they enjoy working with children. The few, who take up the profession mainly for the pay, do not stay. Teachers must be able to deal with crises quickly and professionally, exhibit good judgment in a wide range of situations, respond with empathy to concerns expressed by children and adults, all while delivering the prescribed programs of learning laid out by the province and testing the results for publication in the media.

The school day hours are determined by The Education Act, See LETTER page 9

EMC Editorial – It may have been gone for a number of years but it’s far from forgotten.

West Nile Virus, that nasty bug carried by mosquitoes and transmitted to humans through their bites has reared its head again late this summer.

Parts of the southern United States have been hardest hit with more than two dozen people losing their lives as a result of the disease in north Texas. The city of Dallas, Tx., even went so far as to declare a state of emergency over the situation. It appeared Canada might be spared, but reports from Ottawa Public Health last week proved that won’t be the case. Two residents have contracted the virus and it’s likely other cases will be reported in the days ahead.

Last month, the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit issued a release outlining ways local residents can reduce their chances of being struck with the potentially life-threatening virus.

Homeowners can certainly do their part by removing any standing water on their property. These are proven breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Given the heavy rains received over the past week and the return of warmer weather, remaining vigilant is a key to keeping the bugs at bay.

Residents can also take various precautions to ensure they don’t get bitten. Wearing light-coloured clothing is a start. This includes pants and long-sleeved shirts and even a hat to minimize the amount of exposed skin.

Mosquito repellent with what the health unit calls “the appropriate amount (20 to 30 per cent) of DEET” is also key. Keep in mind that children should wear a repellent with between six and 10 per cent DEET. And try to limit outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, the health unit reports. This is the time mosquitoes have been found to be most active. Staying within a screened area where possible is recommended as is the use of mosquito netting if one is sleeping outdoors. Be sure to follow the labels when using inspect sprays and be aware that alternative bug ‘repellents’ such as citronella candles, bug zappers or other electronic devices have only a minor effect on mosquitoes.

Fortunately, the tri-county area continues to be low risk. But the fact West Nile Virus still exists proves the ongoing mosquito trapping and testing program, which now dates back a decade, needs to continue. As the health unit notes, “WNV is a preventable disease and can be easily done if we all work together to eliminate mosquito breeding sites and protect ourselves from being bitten by mosquitoes.”

Blue sugar bowl was sometimes lacking EMC Lifestyle - There was no doubt about it, Father needed a new suit. The only one he owned was threadbare, and even though he hadn’t grown an inch, the cuffs on the legs were above his ankles. No doubt because Mother had tried to wash it one Monday, and now even the sleeves were too short. No, there was no getting around it. He needed a new suit, and the ad in the weekly Renfrew Mercury was just what the doctor ordered!

Three pieces for $14! Father said there was no money for such frivolity. Mother said going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday dressed like a tramp, raised the purchase well above frivolity!

I knew Mother had waited until the big wood box of hand-me-downs had come from Aunt Lizzie in Regina to make sure there wouldn’t be something suitable from Uncle Jack. But, as always, whatever Uncle Jack once

wore, had to be severely altered before it would fit Father! Uncle Jack was about Father’s height. But there the similarity ended. My sister Audrey said he looked like a pineapple. I have no idea how she knew what a pineapple looked like, because I never knew one to come into the house. But I did know Uncle Jack was more round than long! His arms were huge and hung well below his hips, and it always looked like he was carrying a bag of grain under his jacket. Without altering the suit, you could put at least two of Father in it.

Now, Mother, when she moved to the farm out in

Northcote, tried her best to master the old pedal Singer Sewing Machine. And she did well on simple things like clothes for Audrey and me, and making aprons, and even simple house dresses out of Dan River cotton, but when it came to trying to make Father fit into one of Uncle Jack’s suits, she failed miserably. It always ended up that the suits, after being taken apart, became jumpers or skirts for my sister and me.

The Mercury had come in the middle of the week, and Mother said there was just about enough money in the blue sugar bowl in the back-tothe-wall cupboard to buy the

suit. What was lacking would be made up when Mother pedalled her eggs, butter and chickens on Saturday in Renfrew. And so it was decided, Saturday was the day Father would be getting his new $14 suit. The excitement ran high that week in our old log house in Northcote.

That didn’t mean we could ease off on the workload... chores were done as usual.. morning and night in the barns, and Mother made sure my sister Audrey and I kept up with what was expected of us in the house too. But you’d think we were all getting a new outfit, not just Father, as the day of this major purchase drew closer.

Mother took the blue sugar bowl out of the cupboard a few days before we were to head into Renfrew. She dumped the coins out on the kitchen table with a couple crumbled one dollar bills. Then she moved the money over to the

top of the ice box, and stacked the coins in little piles on top of the bills. The blue sugar bowl went back into the cupboard. She figured she’d have to sell at least four chickens, five or six pounds of butter, and six dozen eggs to make up the difference between what was sitting on the ice-box and what the suit would cost.

The day before we were to head into Renfrew, just before we were to sit down to dinner at noon hour, Father came into the kitchen with a long piece of harness in his hands. He stood silently at the back door, never taking his eyes off it. “Broke. Just as I was putting it on Queenie. This is the piece I have fixed at least a dozen times. I’m afraid it won’t take another fixin’... can’t use the team without it.”

He didn’t have to say any more. Mother went to the ice box and slid the coins into her hand with the one dol-

lar bills. She looked at it for a minute, and then walked over to the door and handed it to Father. It would take just about all of it to replace the worn-out harness that should have been replaced long before. Horses and their harness meant survival back in the 30’s. A farmer couldn’t farm without either.

Nothing more was said about the $14 suit. We went into Renfrew as usual on Saturday for our few supplies, bought only after Mother made her house calls along the back streets of the town with the cleaned chickens, butter and eggs, and that day she had sticky buns as well.

It would be a long time before the blue sugar bowl had in it enough for what Father called a frivolity like a new suit.

Sunday morning saw him at the Lutheran Church in the same old suit he had worn for years.

as are the number of teaching days and holiday times in each calendar year. Teachers have no input into any of these, yet are unfairly criticized for them.

The teaching profession is open to all who wish to work hard, study for long hours, endure criticism and be in the public eye. The teaching profession is also open to those who love children and who

delight in fostering young people`s creativity and curiosity. There is great satisfaction in seeing children discover and gain understanding of a new concept. If these characteristics match your own, then I encourage you to pursue the career. Please don’t resent my choice.

After almost 35 years in a classroom, it was time to retire from the profession I loved, teaching. For the past 16

years I have been a spectator of what goes on in education, and I still find myself defending both the perceived hours of work as well as the legally negotiated pay. My summer holidays were spent at university courses; evenings and weekends were used for planning, preparing and correcting assignments. Parent interviews, writing report cards, meetings with school psychologists and health officials were accom-

modated on their terms, not mine. At the end of June I was ready for a change; as September rolled around, I was anxious to get back.

The students I had are still ‘my kids’ and I am proud to be able to call many of them by name, even after long years of absence. Many of them have

chosen the teaching profession and are working in far-flung parts of the world. I believe that some small part of myself is there with them.

The recent actions of Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Education Minister will taint the atmosphere for the new school year but I believe that

“It’s definitely ambitious but that’s what we do,” she said.

According to an HSC press release, the social housing sector in the province “is maintained through hard work from landlords, providers, municipalities and residents. The Big Ten TuneUp is our way of thanking these clients and supporting them to continue to do what they do best, work for the good of those in need in communities they can be proud to call home.”

Hemmings notes the neighbourhood residents really got behind the project which also received strong support from the business community.

“A big part is engaging residents, to show them we’re not just on the business side,” Hemmings said.

“It’s really important to show them who we are.”

“Everyone will benefit in some way from it.”

Step back in time With a surprised look on his face, Olympian rower Conlin McCabe walks into St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, Brockville, on Friday, Sept. 7 to be met by his former senior kindergarten teacher Pat Frankcon. It has been 16 years since Frankcon has seen McCabe. In fact she brought along a class photo of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95/96 to show the local Olympic silver medalist which he holds in his hand (below left).

As a memento, former St. Francis Xavier student and 2012 summer Olympic silver medalist Conlin McCabe joins the staff, teachers and students, including his former senior kindergarten teacher, Pat Frankcon (to the right of McCabe) for a group photo (left). McCabe stayed at the school to sign autographs and to pose for photos with the students.

Dutch ambassador to attend opening of Spencerville gallery Saturday as well as Paverpol Art Products International owner Jossy de Roode who is traveling here for this special occasion.

She will be leading a Master class on Friday, Sept. 14 for which there remain a few open spaces, Herman reports. de Roode will also head up the judging of the exhibition of Paverpol-inspired works of art which will be featured both inside the gallery and on the grounds throughout the weekend.

Herman says he and Thecla enjoy nothing more than the opportunity to share their love of the product with others.

The official distributors of Paverpol Art Products in Ontario will be hosting the Dutch ambassador Wim Geerts as well as the owners of Paverpol who are traveling here from The Netherlands. from his sons, Herman says he has devoted close to 14 hours a day to the project over the last four months in preparation for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a family thing,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Paverpol distributors The gallery will be home to close to 20 different artists, including potters, jewellers, painters and even doll makers, but one particular style near and dear to the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearts will be front and centre.

The Klucks are the distributors for Paverpol in Ontario, a non-toxic, water-based textile hardener that was invented 16 years ago in the their native Holland. It is used in the creation of unique sculptures that can give the appearance of stone or bronze but which are actually formed using pieces of fabric dipped in the Paverpol product.

The Klucks have earned praise and accolades for their artistic creations using Paverpol and are doing what they can to spread the word about it across the country.

As part of their gallery opening this weekend, they are also hosting several other distributors from across Canada

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There will be an international flair to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand opening of the Dutch Hill Gallery in Spencerville.

His excellency Wim J.P. Geerts, ambassador of the Kingdom of The Netherlands, will preside over the ceremony that launches this new venture at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 15.

Owned by Herman and Thecla Kluck, the gallery has moved from their home to a century-old barn located on their property at 2914 County Road 21.

Herman, a carpenter by trade, says the barn was so rundown and hidden by trees when they first moved here from The Netherlands 14 years ago, neighbours didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it even existed. But starting about four years ago, he set out to lovingly transform the dilapidated structure into what is, today, an effective venue for area artists to display their work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other people would have probably torn the barn down, but not me,â&#x20AC;? Herman says with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saved the whole post and beam construction.â&#x20AC;?

Together with assistance

ginners to the highly-skilled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no secrets,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We share all information.â&#x20AC;?

The growing popularity of Paverpol, he adds, keeps the couple extremely busy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether producing their own works or art, sharing their knowledge with others or distributing the product across the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really a growing thing for us,â&#x20AC;? he reports.

ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, September 13, 2012 13

“Because text messaging requires visual, manual, and cognitive attention from the driver, it is by far the most alarming distraction,” said NHTSA. A study by the Virginia Tech Transport Institute done in 2009 revealed that a texting driver was 23 times more likely to get into a crash and 18 per cent (a total of almost 1,000) of all distracted driving related crashes in the US in 2009 involved reports of cell-phone.

Winter tire season will be upon us before we know it and many customers can experience some sticker shock when pricing out the low-profile or rather exotic tire types and sizes that automakers are putting on even their most utilitarian products today. A low-profile tire is one that has a rather short side-wall (that area of the tire between the wheel rim’s edge and tread-face shoulder). When checking the size printed on the sidewall of the tire, a low profile tire’s aspect ratio (the middle two numbers of the tire size) will be 60 or lower (as in P255/50R17). You can pretty much count on the price

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

of the tire going up as this number goes down. When it comes to replacing all-season tires or purchasing winter tires, many drivers will try to opt for a more conventional size to save money. Unfortunately some of these optional sizes will create some insurmountable problems.

If the total circumference of the tire is too large it may rub on the inner fender during turns or over sharp bumps.

The biggest problem can be the affect the wrong sized tire has on today’s vehicle electronics. The engine, transmission, and anti-lock brake computers (yes there is more than one on a modern vehicle) are programmed with a specific tire size. When that size is changed, there is a good chance of multiple problems ranging from an inaccurate speedometer, to a transmission that doesn’t shift correctly, to a traction-control system that doesn’t work, to the extreme of an engine that won’t start!

Most tire retailers have charts that give them a list of optional tire sizes for just about any vehicle. If you want to check out things on your own, plug ‘tire size calculator’ into your usual websearch engine. My favourite is found at www.miata.net/ garage/tirecalc.html. Simply plug in your vehicle’s current tire size and the size you’re considering and check the results. If the overall circumference of the new size is less than three per cent larger or smaller than your stock tire you should be OK. It’s best to stay below two per cent to be sure. So before you jump at that e-bay or yard-sale deal, check first.

Just because fall is approaching is no reason to miss out on the chrome. On Saturday Sept. 15 the Jim Tubman Chevrolet Show’n’Shine will be held at 1770 Bank Street at Alta Vista Drive, Ottawa from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rain date is Sept. 16. Contact Karen Burton at 613-733-4050 for details.

Loshaw said the goal of the day was to lessen the anxiety for all students about the school’s transition to a grades 7-12 format and help students bond as a school family.

“We’re not trying to create a (grades 7 and 8) school within a school, we are saying that BCI is a new grades 7-12 school,” said the principal.

During the Oskee Wee Wee contest, organized by guidance teacher Andrea Wright, it came down to a cheer-off between a group led by Link Crew member Levi Howley and BCI intermediate teacher Tom Bell. Howley’s squad “outhowled” the competition to become the eventual winner.

Each intermediate student at BCI was also given their own “I am a Rams Fan” Tshirt to welcome them to BCI.

CONGRATULATIONS

EMC News – More than 120 intermediate students at Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI) became Red Rams in the best way possible on Tuesday, Sept. 4 – the Oskee Wee Wee way.

The school’s six new intermediate classes competed in an Oskee Wee Wee cheering competition Tuesday morning in the BCI gym. Oskee Wee Wee is the school’s traditional cheer.

The event was part of a jam-packed day of activities designed to introduce intermediate students to the new grades 7-12 school and make them feel part of the larger Red Rams family, said principal Bill Loshaw.

The day included a morning assembly for all students, organized by student council, which featured an address by Olympic silver medalist rower Conlin McCabe. The Olympian spoke to students about the value of finding and pursuing their passions to achieve a successful life.

The assembly also introduced Loshaw to the entire student body. The principal participated in a “trust exercise” in which he fell back-

EMC Lifestyle - My thanks to Josee Bessette of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation for passing along this timely news item as we head into the fall and winter traffic season.

A new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration campaign urges drivers to “designate a texter.”

“Borrow thumbs from a friend,” said the NHTSA campaign which is dubbed ‘Stop the Texts. Stop the Wrecks.’ “Or lend yours to a friend. Passengers get the privilege of texting while in motion.”

A new NHTSA video entitled “Stairs” says “not everyone should text and walk. No one should text and drive.”

Log onto www.stoptextsstopwrecks.org to view this video.

The phrase “designated driver” entered the lexicon decades ago as such advocacy groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving came up with ways to curb drunk driving and it describes the individual who transports intoxicated people to and from the bar safely.

A study released recently

by State Farm and Harris Interactive found that some teens are volunteering to be the designated texter. “When I’m in a car with my friends or family, I say, ‘Hey, don’t do that,” said Navea Frazier, an 18-year-old Pennsylvania teen quoted in the study. “I’ll text for you. I’m the designated texter. And they always stop driving distracted.” The study found that nearly four in five teens — or 78 per cent — spoke up and pointed out a driver’s distracted behavior. Once raising the issue, 84 per cent said the driver listened and stopped driving distracted.

of 23 per cent from the current 9,000.

Dr. Frank Molnar, a top Ontario geriatrician and one of the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-authors, warns these estimates are conservative and will test the future sustainability of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health-care system. â&#x20AC;?We need to act now,â&#x20AC;? says David Harvey, Chief Public Policy and Program Initiatives Officer, Alzheimer Society of Ontario, who led the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a provincewide plan, and that means a well-informed, organized and collaborative effort across all levels of health care. Too many people with dementia are not getting diagnosed early enough or receiving enough care or the care they need.â&#x20AC;?

Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health-care system will come under even greater pressure as caregiver needs intensify. Today informal caregivers provide 100 million unpaid hours annually looking after family members or friends with dementia. This number will exceed 140 mil-

lion hours per year by 2020.

Their task also puts them at a higher risk for stress and other health-related issues. A recent Canadian survey reported 35 per cent of caregivers experienced a decline in their health, while 71 per cent reported disruptions to their employment.

The Alzheimer Society report further highlights the complex task of caring for people with dementia who have other chronic illnesses.

More than 90 percent of Ontario seniors with dementia are living with two or more coexisting chronic medical conditions. â&#x20AC;?Many Ontarians with dementia also have heart disease, stroke and diabetes. This causes a domino effect on the individual because dementia will destabilize these other chronic conditions,â&#x20AC;&#x153; adds Harvey. â&#x20AC;?Finding the right care is a huge challenge and creates a financial burden for these individuals and their families.â&#x20AC;?

Unless Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthcare system adapts to the soaring prevalence of dementia, alternate level of care (ALC) days will also increase. The number of ALC days are projected to jump to 337 days by 2016, up from 263 days today in Leeds and Grenville.

ALC days occur when those with dementia are forced to remain in the hospital, though no longer needing acute care, as they wait to be transferred to more appropriate care settings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a greater demand for services in our community now and we need to make sure supports and services are in place for the futureâ&#x20AC;? says Denise Wood, Executive Director, of the Alzheimer Society of Leeds Grenville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Access to better choice and quality of care can keep people with dementia at home and more independent for longer. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a far less costly option. We need to get dementia care right.â&#x20AC;?

Brockville Legion gears up for Poppy campaign EMC News – The unstoppable press of time has November 11 drawing nearer, and as it does Brockville’s local Royal Canadian Legion Branch 96 is getting ready to launch its Poppy Campaign for 2012.

“This is always a demanding and hectic period for Legionnaires,” says Don Bain, President of the Brockville Branch. “We’ve got the Poppy Campaign – where we distribute poppies throughout the Brockville region – using trays in more than 100 stores and venues,

and we man tables in six local big stores and venues, and we get ready for major activities like the parade itself on November the 11th – when all Canadians stop to remember.”

This year the Poppies go

0.99

out across the region on Friday, Oct. 26 – and will be available at many locations – usually in a visible tray with a donations box – until Remembrance Day itself. If anyone wishes to volunteer two hours to man one of the tables, sign up sheets are available at the Legion. The sign-up sheets will be available from Sept. 16, the beginning of Legion Week.

“The Legion gets truly excellent support from our businesses, schools, cadets, and residences. The Legion

would love to see every Brockvillian wear a Poppy – whether or not you can put a dime in our trays – please take a poppy and wear it,” Bain said.

The poppy is, of course, the nation’s emblem of supreme sacrifice. Through the Legion’s poppy campaign, the local branch holds the money collected through distributing poppies in Trust to provide immediate assistance to ex-servicemen and women in need. This may include food, shelter or medical assistance for them

or their families. The Trust fund also provides bursaries to children and grandchildren of ex-service personnel and appropriate donations to local needs, such as hospitals and service organizations that help veterans or their families.

At the same time, the Branch gets involved in other Veterans’ Week activities.

This year that includes the annual Remembrance Dinner (Nov. 2, 6 p.m., tickets are on sale at the Branch).

From Friday, Oct. 26,

watch for the poppy campaign and get a poppy! As well, do not forget Brockville’s own Remembrance Day Parade, at the Cenotaph downtown. “We should all be there, dressed for the weather, with our poppies on, from about 10:30 a.m. onwards,” concludes Bain.

“It will be the natural culmination of a busy time for us, an important time for all Canadians.”

We Them.

Prescott Cadet squadron opens its doors to new members EMC News – 661 Lt. W.F. Sharpe Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets is set to begin its 2012 / 2013 training year.

An information session will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 6:30 p.m., at South Grenville District High School (SGDHS) in Prescott. The public is encouraged to visit and learn about what the cadet program has to offer.

Interested members (aged 12-18) and their parents should know that this dynamic youth development program has numerous training opportunities and activities available to those interested in taking part. Subject areas include many areas of interest ranging from pilot training, learning how to play music, sports and fitness training, developing leadership capabilities and more.

The cadet program has no registration fee and includes uniforms provided at no charge.

Summer training opportunities even include paid training bonuses for cadets, employment for

some more senior cadets that may be selected to act as staff cadets and even world travel opportunities for those who may be selected to take part in the International Air Cadet Exchange Program.

Terry Fox Run and Prescott Food Bank’s Bottom Line Challenge, gliding at the Brockville Airport and a survival training exercise

to name only a few.

The public is reminded again that any area youth (aged 12-18) or parent who is interested in learn-

ing more about the Cadet Program is encouraged to attend 661 Squadron’s upcoming information session. Additional informa-

tion about the cadet program can also be obtained by visiting the squadron’s website at www.aircadets. ca/661.

Parents and other community members may wish to attend the information session to learn about the various ways the local cadets serve their communities, how fundraising takes place and other opportunities for the general public to become involved and help support the squadron.

Preparations are well under way for the upcoming training year. Newly appointed Commanding Officer, Captain Amy Belbin, has met with staff and sponsors in anticipation of numerous upcoming events set to take place this fall and both existing and new members can expect a busy fall schedule full of fun and challenge.

Vandals cause significant damage in Limerick Forest

Motorcycle treasure hunt supports local food banks EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Charity Motorcycle Treasure Hunt/Poker Run takes place this Saturday, Sept. 15 (rain date Sept. 16) in support of local food banks. Co-ordinated by the Red Knights Motorcycle Club, Ontario 19 Chapter, registration begins at 8 a.m. at Kendricks Park, 245 Short Point Road in Lyndhurst.

Registration is $20 per player (includes a barbecue at end of the ride). The ride itself

will be approximately four hours in length. A map will be handed out at registration.

EMC News - Vandals set fire and damaged more than $5,000 worth of trail maps and information kiosks in Limerick Forest near Roebuck last weekend.

Prescott OPP and Augusta Township Fire Department firefighters were called to the scene of a fire in Limerick Forest on Sunday afternoon (Aug. 26, 2012). Two large trail map/information kiosks, one smaller trail sign and an outhouse located in the Limerick South block on Forsythe Road north of Roebuck were vandalized and burned down sometime between Saturday

First, second and third prizes will be given for the best poker hands plus door prizes.

Come and help support local food banks.

For more information, email: redknightsont19@rideau.net

night and Sunday morning.

In addition to this damage, the vandals also tipped over and smashed two smaller trail map signs and a bench on the Chalet Loop trail located behind the Limerick Forest Interpretive Centre. Total damage is estimated at over $5,000 in materials.

The majority of the labour involved in building and installing the infrastructure was donated by Friends of Limerick volunteers and was completed over the past four seasons. Although the loss of the signs and benches is sig-

nificant, if the flames from the burning kiosks had spread into the adjacent red pine plantation there could have been a catastrophic forest fire in excess of 1,000 hectares in size, putting public and private property at risk.

If anyone has any information relating to this vandalism please contact the Prescott OPP who is continuing the investigation or the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Forest Manager, Geoff McVey at 613-342-3840, ext.

2416 or geoff.mcvey@uclg. on.ca .

Comedian Steve Patterson brings stand-up show to Brockville Nov. 2 EMC Entertainment Though most familiar to more than 750,000 weekly listeners as the host of “The Debaters” on CBC Radio, it is as an international headline stand-up comedian that Steve Patterson truly shines.

Brockville and area residents will be able to experience his side-splitting performance first-hand when he appears at the Brockville Arts Centre Friday, Nov. 2.

Awakening to the idea of stand-up as a full-time

career in 1997, when he lost his job as a copywriter for making an ad about an amusement park ‘too amusing’, Patterson has since performed across Canada, as well as Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, the UK, the US and even the United Arab Emirates (the crowd spoke English ... Steve’s not a magician!).

By 2010, steady accolades for his work garnered him a third invitation to perform on the Just For Laughs prestigious televised gala. Con-

sidered to be the highlight of the show by critics and audience alike, Patterson’s performance prompted the legendary comedy icon and gala host, Steve Martin, to proclaim: “If I’d known he was going to be THAT good, I would have cancelled him.”

The comedy industry finally formally agreed with Martin, when Patterson was named Canada’s Best Male Stand-Up Comic at the most recent Canadian Comedy Awards, having been nomi-

EMC Lifestyle - Of all the millions of recipes that exist in cookbooks, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one which is found more often than any other. It appears in cookbooks published around the world from Eastern Ontario to France to Australia. You probably have it in at least one of the cookbooks in your kitchen right now.

The recipe is for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basic White Sauceâ&#x20AC;?, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made with three ingredients - butter, flour and milk.

In France, they call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the great saucesâ&#x20AC;?, but they also have another name for it --the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sauce mereâ&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;mother sauceâ&#x20AC;?. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the best name for this sauce because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the starting point for so many different recipes.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key ingredient for dishes ranging from soups to souffles, from scalloped potatoes to Coquilles Saint-Jacques.

It can be flavoured with cheese, herbs, mustard or wine, and served over vegetables, meat, poultry or fish.

Although the basic white sauce has been used in both home and professional kitchens for years, it became a lot simpler to make with the introduction of the microwave oven.

Now, the sauce is not only quick to prepare, but clean-up is a lot easier too, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know if you ever scrubbed burned milk off the bottom of a pot.

The recipe that follows is for creamed salmon on toast, a convenient and quick supper dish. It starts with a medium white sauce, and you can use this basic sauce recipe for any other dish that calls for it. The microwave technique for cooking it is explained step-by-step.

Creamed Salmon on Toast 2 tbsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. flour 2 cups milk 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine 1/2 cup frozen peas 1/2 medium onion, chopped 2 cans (213 gm) salmon, drained salt, pepper to taste Use a microwave-safe bowl or a measuring cup that holds 4 cups.

In the bowl, melt 2 tbsp. butter or margarine on High for 40 to 50 seconds. Stir in the flour until it forms a smooth paste.

A weekly guide to Real Estate in the St. Lawrence/1000 Islands & Rideau areas

Ontario Real Estate Association survey asks what’s top of mind when listing and whether or not the seller has already purchased a new property and is financing two homes simultaneously.

According to an OREA press release, reviewing and understanding documents can be another complicated part of the home selling process, which is why Abraham recommends homeowners consult with their realtor before signing any forms. If any doubt or misunderstanding is raised, it is also advisable to consult with a lawyer.

“It seems homeowners are just as concerned with the home selling process and the documents involved as they are with the thought of preparing their home for sale, which isn’t surprising as there’s a lot to consider with this step,” says Abraham. “Realtors can quite quickly and easily identify areas in a home that require repairs or touch-ups or alternatively can advise against certain renovations if the return on investment isn’t there. Ultimately, homeowners want to show their home in its best light to help make for a smooth negotiation phase and sale.”

Other survey findings • More men than women

• The survey also found that the majority of Ontarians (59 per cent) would start to feel anxious if their home was still on the market after 45 days or more. As examined in an earlier OREA release, the average time it takes to sell a home in some parts of the province is 30 days, while homes in other areas may take twice as long, or longer, to sell. Some Ontario homeowners may be influenced by the quick sales in “hot” markets and not realize that more days on the market is typical for their area.

“Realtors have insight and expertise beyond the market that can help owners best position their home for potential buyers and help them through

the stressful time of trying to sell their home,” says Abraham.

More information on working with a Realtor and resources for selling a home are available at www.howrealtorshelp.ca. Homeowners can discover which features will increase the value of their home through “Choose your own adventure: Realtor style” http://bit.ly/homeworthOREA.

EMC Business - The first step in the home buying process is figuring out what you can afford.

“Once you have an idea of the home price you can afford, it’s time to meet with your Realtor to figure out what kind of home you can buy for that price and where it may be located,” says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “Your Realtor will be able to guide you through the home buying process and advise you on your best possible options based on your financial situation and

home buying wish list.”

Choosing a location is the next factor to consider in the home buying process, according to Abraham. “Urban or suburban neighbourhood?

Big city, small city or rural area? Once you know where you want to live, you can start thinking about the type of home and features that suit your needs best.”

He recommends homebuyers consider the following when looking for a home: Features – determine your ‘needs’ – things your new home must have in order for

you to be comfortable – and ‘wants’ – things you would like to have if you can afford them and if they are available.

Your strategy should be to find a home within your price range that fulfills all or most of your ‘needs’ and as many of your ‘wants’ as possible.

Type of home – are you adamant on buying a single-family detached home, or would you consider a semi-detached or town home? Perhaps a condominium will give you enough space in your ideal location. Your Realtor can show you various types of homes in

EMC Business - Beyond worrying about the state of the real estate market (77 per cent), a new survey from the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) shows that Ontarians’ top concerns when selling a home are understanding the process and the legal documents required in a sale (61 per cent), fixing up the home in order to list (60 per cent) and the number of days on the market before it sells (59 per cent).

Released Sept. 5, OREA’s State of the Market survey was conducted on the Angus Reid Forum and is the second in a two-part series that provides a snapshot of what’s on the minds of potential homebuyers and sellers in the province.

Part One looked at the top priorities for homebuyers.

Ron Abraham, OREA president, says it is common for homeowners to have uncertainty about the selling process because each sale requires different steps that are dependent on a number of things including the terms of the agreement (such as building inspections or completion date), the need to transfer or discharge a mortgage

your price range, and help you determine the one that best suits your lifestyle.

New or resale – if you’re keen on applying your own personal touch to your home, then a new home may be what you’re looking for. On the flip side, resale homes often include additional features for little or no additional cost.

Older resale homes can also offer charm or character often not available in new designs.

When looking for a home, be sure to explore the communities that seem to be the most likely candidates. Take advantage of viewing open houses when available and be sure to speak to your Realtor about the neighbourhood you’re considering. Most Realtors specialize in certain areas and will be able to answer any questions about the market, or neighbourhood you’re interested in.

Homebuyers can also get ideas on finding the neighbourhood that’s best for them through “Choose your own adventure: Realtor style” http://bit.ly/neighbourhoodOREA. More information is also available at www.howrealtorshelp.ca.

Demographic shifts not as bad for housing as perceived: CIBC EMC Business - Housing market activity is projected to soften in the near-term, but the good news is any adjustment will not be aggravated by negative demographic forces. In fact, at least for the next decade, demographic forces will be strong enough to mitigate the damage and probably shorten the duration of the upcoming market adjustment says a new report from CIBC World Market Inc. “It turns out fears of a long and sharp down turn in the housing market are highly exaggerated and very premature,” says Benjamin Tal, Deputy Chief Economist at CIBC. “In fact, demographic forces will be supportive to real estate markets in the coming decade.”

The report notes that that the correction and subsequent stagnation in the housing market in the 1990s was accompanied by a notable softening in demographically based housing demand R0011614051_0913

with average annual growth in demand slowing from well over two per cent in the late-1980s to an average of close to 0.2 per cent during the 1990s. That reflected the impact of the recession and the jobless recovery on population growth mainly via out-migration and a notable reduction in the number of new immigrants during that period. Assuming that any upcoming adjustment in housing market activity will occur in a non-recessionary environment, demand for housing in the coming decade should be more than four times stronger than it was during the dreary market of the 1990s.

Tal writes in his Consumer Watch report that while there will be a decline in the number of Canadians under the age of 25 and those between the ages 45 and 54, those age groups account for a relatively small portion of Canadians looking to buy a new home.

However, the number of Canadians between the ages of 25 and 34, the age group that makes up the vast majority of first-time buyers, will continue to grow.

“From a housing market perspective, what counts is not only the change in population of a given age group, but more importantly, the level of housing market activity among those groups,” says Tal. “In other words, the group that is most likely to buy a house will grow faster in the coming decade.”

Overall Tal says the next decade will see an annual population growth of 0.9 per cent, in line with growth seen in the past decade.

Growth in the housing market could be even stronger due to immigration.

Tal notes that most of the growth in population is now due to immigration and it is clear that public policy on that front will be a major force that will impact hous-

ing demand. It is likely the actual pace of immigration growth in the next decade will be faster than currently projected due to changes in immigration policy.

“What’s more, there is significant jump in the home ownership rate among immigrants as they pass the three-year mark. In fact, after 10 years in Canada the propensity among immigrants to own a house is higher than among native born Canadians,” says Tal. The report also tackles the issue of potential downsizing by Canadians aged 55-75 - suggesting that less than one third of households at that age group actually downsize and this number could be even lower in the next decade as baby boomers have more financial assets and tend to be in better health than previous generations.

Putting all this information together, little change in demand relative to the past

decade and the increased supply due to downsizing and liquidation, it appears that any extra supply of housing due to demographic forces will be trivial at best and can be easily dealt with through a marginal reduction in housing starts.

St. Lawrence

Committee aims to make Brockville Railway Tunnel a tourist attraction what repairs are needed to safely open the tunnel.

LeSueur is momentarily awaiting the Inspect-sol report, at which time they will review and then move forward to invite contractors to give cost estimates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to get a shelf ready, vision proposals, costing and so on, so that if council does decide they would like to make this a tourist attraction, then we are ready to go,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Prior to Inspec-sol examining the construction of the tunnel, about a year ago, a geological engineering firm, Stantec from Sudbury sent its mining division down to Brockville to look at the tunnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, it can be opened,â&#x20AC;? said LeSueur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They drilled holes, tested soil samples and said there is a good section of the tunnel that is granite.â&#x20AC;?

Some of the obvious repairs LeSueur mentioned were proper drainage and what type of tunnel surface which would allow people to walk through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tunnel can be a walk through, bicycle or train

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A group of concerned citizens would like Brockvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Railway Tunnel to be more than a piece of Canadian history. It wants it to be part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future as a bona fide tourist attraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, we are working on a vision and some plans in trying to get a shelf ready to bring to council at a later date either for approval or to put off,â&#x20AC;? said Brockville Railway Tunnel committee chair and city councillor David LeSueur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also we have been maintaining the tunnel by repointing the front (south portal), as there were a lot of holes and cracks with the mortar falling out.â&#x20AC;?

To pay for this repair, the City of Brockville has a reserve fund for this tunnel which was started about six years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been drawing on this reserve fund for engineering studies to see if the tunnel can be opened to the public,â&#x20AC;? added LeSueur, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and whether we can link it to the Brock Trail.â&#x20AC;?

As the sign notes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Railway Tunnelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; may be opened as a Brockville attraction if the Brockville Railway Tunnel Committee has anything to say about it.

(tram) with rubber wheels,” said LeSueur. “Some of the visions or ideas are parking near the north portal of the Tunnel, hop on a tram that would take you to a boat cruise, then on to the Aquatarium, the Rotary Splash Park, Brockville Museum, down King Street and back to your parking spot. It would all tie into the downtown attractions as one package. We have people researching tram sizes right now and we want it to look historical like a train.”

LeSueur called the press conference last week to apprise the public as to what is taking place with the Brockville Railway Tunnel.

“First of all, years ago the committee (Brockville Railway Tunnel) was disbanded and is now re-instated, making it active again,” he explained.

“The committee is formed

and we are looking at having the tunnel as a tourist attraction at some point. Right now, we are active in keeping it maintained and restored.”

“This is Canada’s first railway tunnel and it is unique to everyone. We would like to make this a national project.”

DAVID LESUEUR COMMITTEE CHAIR

Once the costing has been determined and the committee has an idea of what is needed along with a landscaping estimate, then LeSueur indicated the committee will seek out federal grants and other fundraising opportunities.

Committee member Doug

Grant also mentioned the possibility of a train dining car located near the tunnel.

“There’s a website where you can buy a used train box car or dining cars,” added LeSueur. “Thoughts are a dinning car and interpretation centre.”

Although not wanting to commit to a timeframe for completion, there may be possibility, if all goes according to plan, to see the tunnel open in two years.

“This is Canada’s first railway tunnel and it is unique to everyone,” indicated LeSueur.

“We would like to make this a national project. The website we have just launched www. brockvillerailwaytunnel.com will give it national awareness.”

Should anyone want to make suggestions regarding the Brockville Railway Tunnel, go to the website and use contact to submit any ideas.

TLTI Mayor Bruce Bryan retiring at end of September

By STAFF

EMC News - Although he hates to give in, Bruce Bryan has announced he will be resigning as Mayor of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands as of Sept. 30.

At a special meeting of council on Saturday, Sept. 1, he tendered his resignation, admitting that the demands of the job were taking a toll on his health.

“This was a part-time job, but it

isn’t anymore,” he said. “There were 23 meetings in July. My doctor and my family have all told me it was time to stop.”

Although he was working as hard as he could, the workload continued to increase. Every day there were more demands, creating more stress and pressures. His health was beginning to show signs of deterioration, so he decided it would be better for all concerned if he

left the position.

He is thankful to all who have supported him during his time as mayor. Over the two years that he held the position, he said the Township has put a half million dollars into the streets and roads, and worked in conjunction with Gananoque to increase economic development while saving money for the taxpayers. He also returned ten per cent of his salary in

2011, which helped put more money into the coffers.

But his health had to come first. He feels that he has done all that he can do at this time, and it’s time to leave and pass the position on to someone else. Council is currently determining whether to appoint the next-in-line to finish out the term, or whether it would be better at his time to hold a by-election.

Shoebox program assists impoverished seniors still affected by Chernobyl nuclear disaster

By CONAN de VRIES

Photo by CONAN de VRIES

Members of Curves in Prescott show their support for this year’s Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign, a program that provides shoeboxes full of personal necessities and hygiene products to impoverished seniors in a region of Belarus still affected by the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Owner Patricia Lalonde (left) and fitness instructor Kristen Jessome (right) present 33 boxes recently to campaign coordinator Colleen Gray (second from left), along with more than $85 in donated pennies, while Curves member Greta Whitley also donated 20 hand-made quilts. brighter.

Every year, hundreds of shoeboxes, each packed with an assortment of personal necessities and hygiene products, are delivered to senior citizens in need in the stricken areas of Belarus.

“They realize that people care about them,” says Gray.

“That’s just as important as the actual items.”

In the nine years the program has been running, Shoeboxes for Seniors has delivered more than 8,000 full boxes. The annual campaign takes place from

June to October each year, with the shipment going out in February, when officials from Canadian Aid for Chernobyl make their annual humanitarian trip to the region. However, Gray takes donations all year long.

Already, she has collected more than 300 boxes. The goal is 1,200. Last year was the first time the campaign missed its goal, collecting only 700 boxes after collecting more than 1,200 each of the previous five years.

Recently, the campaign was lent a helping hand by Curves of Prescott. The ladies-only fitness centre collected 33 shoeboxes filled by members of the club. As well, the club raised more than $85 in a penny collection. That money will now go towards purchasing more supplies to fill more shoeboxes.

Though it was suggested that members just bring in items that could be added to a shoebox, many went above and beyond.

“Some people were com-

ing in with their shoeboxes filled,” said fitness instructor Kristen Jessome.

Last year, the fitness club managed only four full shoeboxes, so members certainly stepped up this time around.

“It’s awesome,” said Curves owner Patricia Lalonde.

Just about anything nonperishable that people might need on a daily basis to care for themselves and can fit in a shoebox would be most welcome by those receiving them.

Toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, soap, face cloths, small towels, shampoo, facial tissue, body powder, razors, shaving cream, after shave, band aids – and even some little personal items for either a man or a woman, such as scarves, hard candy, socks, pens or notepaper – would make ideal donations.

Curves’ Prescott members aren’t the only ones to get behind Shoeboxes for Seniors.

So, too, do the members of Curves in Brockville.

“I’m in there every week picking stuff up,” says Gray.

But while in Prescott, Gray picked up not only shoeboxes and pennies, but also a beautiful selection of quilts made by Curves member and Roebuck resident Greta Whitley.

The 20 quilts that Whitley made will accompany the Shoeboxes to Belarus in February and will doubtless be most welcome in the dead of a cold and snowy northern European winter.

“They’re good to throw over a person’s legs,” says Whitley.

The colourful quilts are

also the right size to fit the cots in the residences many of the senior citizens call home.

It’s been six years since Whitley began making quilts, most for use by cancer patients, and in that time, she’s made between 40 and 50 of the warm and cozy creations.

Shoeboxes for Seniors, and all those who take the time to donate to the campaign, manage to bring a little warmth and cheer into the lives of people who for so much of the year do without.

“It’s the hope that it gives them,” says Gray. “They realize that people care about them.”

Gray estimates that about two-thirds of the donations collected are of filled shoeboxes, but just as welcome are individual items to go into the boxes or money, which Gray uses to buy more material to fill even more shoeboxes to help more and more people.

As Shoeboxes for Seniors operates under the umbrella of Canadian Aid for Chernobyl, a registered charity, income tax receipts will be issued for cash donations and for items purchased.

Anyone interested in dropping off a filled shoebox or making a donation can do so at MPP Steve Clark’s constituency office at 100 Strowger Blvd. in Brockville; any CPHC office in the region; or at the Brockville and District Hospital Foundation at 75 Charles Street in Brockville.

If those options aren’t convenient or if anyone has any questions about the campaign, Colleen Gray can be reached at 613-345-6983.

2012 AUGUSTA TOWNSHIP

R0011609844_0913

EMC News - It’s that time of year again. As the weather cools off and the days noticeably shorten, Canadians’ thoughts will soon turn to the holidays that highlight the fall and winter months.

Not so for many impoverished seniors still living in the shadow of Chernobyl, the site of one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters.

They look forward to a long, cold, dreary winter, just as they did last year and the year before that. The only highlight of the next six months for them may be a care package arriving at the front door from a generous Canadian donor.

“It lets them know we still care about them,” says Colleen Gray, coordinator of the local Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign, a charitable program organized under the auspices of the long-running, Brockvillebased charity Canadian Aid for Chernobyl.

It was in 1986 that a nuclear power plant located in northern Ukraine, along the border of Belarus, melted down and irradiated large swathes of land surrounding it, affecting Belarus most heavily. Though the area immediately surrounding the crippled facility was evacuated, and Chernobyl remains a ghost town to this day, many people living nearby are still dealing with the aftermath of the disaster 26 years later.

Though Shoeboxes for Seniors can’t clean up the radiation or resettle the destitute citizens living in and around the affected region, the campaign has, since 2003, helped make those people’s lives just a little bit

Corinne Hodgson A self-taught painter, Hodgson’s inspiration comes from light, colour, a form and texture which she translates onto the canvas.

“I aspire to share my interpretation of the world, at times abstract or sometimes realistic,” said Hodgson.

“This is a life long inner need to express myself via artistic creations, which has led me to experiment with different mediums.”

Hodgson has challenged herself by taking various courses at St. Lawrence College – painting, ceramics, drawing, studio workshops, including the Summer School of the Arts. Plus she had enjoyed other interests like pottery, doll making, stained glass, quilting, photography, rug hooking, welding and experimenting with watercolours, acrylics and oils.

Her latest venture is using the pallet knife to create highlights and textures in her art.

NEWS in the heart of a forest, she carries a camera with her on travels snapping photographs of landscapes, architecture, people, flowers, animals and whatever else catches her artistic eye.

Cindy Martin Growing up rather than listen to the teacher, Martin would doodle in a book during her elementary, high school and college classes.

She couldn’t keep her hands still.

As life got in the way of her art, Martin had to turn her efforts to other things.

“Art was put on the back burner when I went into dentistry, raised children, but my art was always there,” said Martin. “I would make homemade cards or a painting for the house and there was always an artsy element going on including interior design.

So when the children moved away it was my turn to get back into what I loved.”

“There’s a bit of abstract in with the realism of my paintings,” she shared. “My watercolours, my floral and landscapes start as realism and go right into some kind of an abstract.”

She also likes doing portraits and has been told that she captures what the subject is thinking, especially in the faces, eyes and lips, as she find people’s features fascinating.

“Art for me is an escape from everyday life, worries, complications and also when you are having a really won-

derful day, it is extra special and it comes out on the canvas,” said Martin. “I’m guilty of disliking what I have done, then going back and tweaking it and it works.”

When Martin is not in front of the canvas, she is making her industrial jewelry and fine silver.

“I use old found pieces, unique vintage metals that I pound and manipulate,” she explained. “I do silver wire with semi precious gems, a unique organic kind of necklace, cuffs and earrings.”

For anyone wanting to see Martin’s jewelry it is on display at Steel Style Garage in Gananoque.

Evelyn Pott “I started painting in 1997 when I took a course at St. Lawrence College,” said Pott. “For many years I’ve been able to draw. The reason I started painting is to let go of my son to allow others to help him.”

Pott’s son is intellectually challenged and all her time and energy has been devoted to his care and wellbeing.

It was time to let others into her and her son’s world.

Painting has allowed this growth.

“I had the opportunity to take a one-week course and from there people were encouraging me saying I needed to belong to the Brockville Artists Studio,” she said. “You need to put your painting out there because it is appreciated.”

As Pott moves forward, she paints what she sees, called photo realism with

watercolour.

“I love to paint reflections and shadows,” admitted Pott. “I love to paint things from days gone by which have a historical story to tell. I’ve learned that there is more in the way of colour and shape than the eye sees at first glance.”

Pott feels so blessed to have a son who has shaped who she is and has made her realize her art potential needs to be shared.

Thousand Islands Fine Art Association “The organization has

been around for 30 years and it really is a grassroots group that started with both amateurs and professionals,” said Brandow. “We do have professional artists who made their career in the art industry and came together because they all have that love of the visual art.”

Brandow mentioned that their meetings are monthly either business oriented or studio paint days with guest artists.

There are 28 active members with 26 participating in the upcoming show.

Those individuals are

The Gananoque Boys and Girls Club and several residents from the Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque donated a pile of teddy bears and toonies to Teddy Bears of Hope on Aug.24 at the Gananoque Boat Line dock. The bears, each accompanied by a toonie to pay for their passage, will be immigrating to new homes to be adopted by children in Haiti. tsunami ripped through Thailand. Horrified by the trauma those children endured, she wanted to find a way to reach out and comfort them. And what could be more comforting than a teddy bear when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lost and alone and frightened? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually sent 24,000 to Thailand,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;all from Canadian children, and since then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sent 74,000 to Afghanistan, 20,000 to Sri Lanka, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sent to Cambodia, Guatemala, and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to raise 50,000 for Haiti. Each teddy bear comes with a special message attached to make it personal, to show love and hope from a Canadian child to a child in another part of the world.

This is the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to raise money to send a

container, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to raise between $10,000 and $15,000 to send the container to send the 50,000 bears to children in Haiti by Christmas time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got probably pretty close to 50,000 that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collected over the last two years, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come with toonies, so now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to collect more bears and raise the funds with them.â&#x20AC;?

Everyone was delighted to get a chance to help children a world away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will make a lot of people happy and make kids feel good,â&#x20AC;? said Jody Rayner, age 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me feel good, too, and very proud.â&#x20AC;?

Judith Potter, age 9 agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all the people that are getting a bear are going to be happy. Someday I want to go

to Haiti and meet some of the people who got bears.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project is very nice,â&#x20AC;? said Matthew Fanning-Perkins, age 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the kids are going to like it.â&#x20AC;?

Brooklyn Tomalty, age 8, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the project is very caring to little kids. I feel good about it.â&#x20AC;?

And Rachel Faunch, age 7, was really enthusiastic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that the kids that will get the bears will be so happy that they will want to go get some bears for some other people.â&#x20AC;?

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Members of the Gananoque Boys and Girls Club joined residents of Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque to eagerly await a very special arrival at the Gananoque Boat Line (GBL) dock. And each of them had brought along a teddy bear and a toonie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bears are all going to Haiti to make children happy,â&#x20AC;?

Kathy MacRae of GBL told the waiting crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And all of the kids who receive them are getting them for Christmas, because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a single present at Christmas time because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it. Probably for the first time in some of these kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives ever, because of your bears, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to wake up and have a present for Christmas, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be so excited.

Everyone here should feel very special because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making them happy, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re changing their lives.â&#x20AC;?

Their waiting paid off as Miss Canada International 2013, Melanie Williamson, finished a cruise of the Thousand Islands and joined them to receive the bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to send 50,000 bears,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every teddy bear that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving to us helps us reach that goal. And all the toonies that are donated actually help us ship the bears. Winning the title of Miss Canada International allows me to stand in as the goodwill ambassador for Teddy Bears of Hope, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re closely connected and I will be working for both organizations throughout my year.â&#x20AC;?

Development of safe practices and procedures

EMC Events - It has been a long hot summer for both experienced and novice gardeners alike.

Come and join your friends and fellow gardeners for a relaxing and informative evening.

Summer 2012 held many challenges as the earth turned to fired clay and Les Plantes Sauvage of Leeds & Grenville came into their own. Indeed a stick of dynamite would not have worked on some of them.

Put all this behind you and come out to the September meeting of the Athens Garden Club, 7 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Athens District High School cafeteria.

This will, as always, be fun and informative with David Russo as guest speaker. David will enthrall the group with his selection of readings from both British and American writers on gardening.

Bring your favourite gardening book, magazine or catalogue to share with other

members and guests at the show and tell session then feel free to browse through the selection of wonderful gardening books available at the Athens Public Library which librarian Freda Schaafsma has kindly volunteered to set up for everyone’s viewing.

It promises to be a great evening for friends and neighbours to reconnect and share their gardening experiences.

It’s free for members and $3 for visitors.

Augusta Township puts call out for business of the year nominations EMC Business - Augusta Township Economic Development and Tourism Committee is seeking nominations for the third annual Business of the Year Award.

This award will honour a member of their business community at a luncheon on Friday, Oct. 12 at the Grenville Snowmobile Club. The luncheon will feature guest speaker Janet Campbell, owner of Mrs. McGarrigle’s Fine Food in Merrickville.

The committee is seeking nominations of Augusta Township businesses. The

criteria for nominations is; that the business has demonstrated or developed innovative business practices, services or products or has been in business for several years making a significant impact on the economy or has been involved with the community making a difference in the lives of people in the community.

Nominations will be received until Friday Sept. 28 at 4:30 p.m. at the township office or via email to asimonian@augusta.ca.

Last year’s award winners were Harry and Lori Selleck of Selleck Mechanical.

Lawless of Spencerville - Vocals 19 and over - Sarah Perrin of Prescott.

Parade Marshal, CBC Ottawa weatherman Ian Black, led off the parade in the sunshine on Saturday morning. The fact that the showers came down a couple of times before the parade ended didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of the people in the grandstand or along the parade route.

Unfortunately, Saturday afternoon’s Classic Country ReVu was cut short when extreme winds caused the fair organizers to ask the audience to leave the entertainment tent until the tent supplier ensured that everything was safe. That having been done, Silver Creek hit the stage Saturday evening as the opening act for the headliners, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. A huge crowd of music lovers enjoyed a terrific show, singing along and dancing to the NGDB’s four decades of hits, including “Mr. Bojangles”, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” and, of course “Fishin’ in the Dark”.

The NGDB’s set finished with them inviting Silver Creek to join them on stage for a couple of tunes, much to the delight of the audience.

Sunday afternoon saw the entertainment tent packed with traditional country fans eager to see Hall of Famers Connie Smith and Stonewall Jackson, as well as local performers Kelli Trottier and Fred Ducharme and his band Ninth Line.

In addition to the entertainment, visitors to the Spencerville Fair took in the cattle, sheep and goat shows, the poultry and small animal shows, as well as the exhibit halls and the Marketplace.

Horse enthusiasts took a look back at the History of the Horse in the Barn of Learning and cheered on the competitors in the light and heavy horse shows and western games.

EMC News - The 157th Spencerville Fair is now in the memory bank. Despite the terrible weather all around us, Spencerville managed to get through the weekend with just a few showers and a whole lot of wind.

Overall, the attendance matched that of 2011, with Saturday’s numbers down from last year due to the iffy weather all around and Sunday’s beautiful day bringing a larger crowd than last year’s rainy Sunday.

The fair kicked off with a great turnout for the opening ceremonies on Thursday evening, which featured the inaugural presentation of the Award of Merit to 84 year-old Muriel Irving. Muriel received a park bench in recognition of her 48 years of volunteer service to Spencerville Fair.

Attendees at the opening ceremonies also got to meet the 2012 Ambassador, 17 year-old Taylor Bonvie of Brockville who was selected on July 21.

Friday was kids’ day at the fair with school children being bused in to enjoy ride-all-day bracelets on the midway. Friday evening showcased the Little Sir and Little Miss competitions as part of the Family Show in the Drummond Building. The 2012 Little Miss is Jenny Learmonth, whose mother Sarah Bush was Fair Ambassador in 1999. The Little Sir winner was Daniel DeCruz, son of Nikki DeCruz, Fair Ambassador in 1992.

Friday night’s Family Show also saw the following winners in the Talent Show: - Vocals Under 12 - M i k h a l a Austin of Prescott - Instrumental U12 - Katrina TeGrutenhuis of Spencerville - Dance Under 12 - Holly Barton of Prescott - Vocals 13 to 18 - Breanna Nyitrai of Winchester - Instrumental 13 to 18 - Tara Roddick of Metcalfe - Dance 13 to 18 - Elizabeth

Link Crew helps ADHS Grade 9 students feel welcome Link Crew member Reis Hanna.

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – It’s all about linking young students with their new school and making them feel at home.

“Link Crew is a new initiative by the Upper Canada District School Board to transition students into high school,” said Link Crew coordinator/teacher Linda Ross. “So, we picked senior students, who are the Link Leaders, and they work with the Grade 9 students, to welcome them to high school. They will work with them throughout the school year on all kinds of programs about social programs, working with other students and helping them with their academics.”

There are 14 Link Leaders at Athens District High School working with 45 Grade 9 students (known as Linkers).

On the first day of school, Tuesday, Sept. 4, the day was dedicated to making the Grade 9 students feel welcome with a school assembly, introductions, answering questions and having a ribbon-cutting ceremony along with an afternoon of events, including an obstacle course.

On Wednesday, the

Those participating in the ribbon cutting ceremony include (left to right), Athens District High School prime minister Andrew Mallory, principal Gord Phillips, vice principal Dave Pier, and leader of the opposition Charlynn Lecompte. This act signified the welcoming of Grade 9 students and their transition to high school along with the initiative of the Link Crew program.

Grade 9 students would be in their regular classes.

Members of the Link Crew worked well together throughout Tuesday with guidance from Link Crew coordinator/teachers.

To identify the Link Crew members, they wore bright green shirts with ‘Students Making a Dif-

ference – Link Crew 20122013’ on the front. On the back were slogans, ‘Be Yourself’, ‘Experience’, ‘Talk to Your Teachers’, ‘Use MISP Wisely it is a Gift’, ‘Join Parliament It’s a Great Experience’, ‘Get Involved’, ‘Talk to your Link Leader’, ‘Small Area Schools are Great’, ‘ADHS

has Competitive Sports’, ‘Ask for Help’ and ‘Learn the bells’.

MISP stands for multisubject instructional period.

The Link Crew helped with the suggested slogans.

“We made a list of all the things that Grade 9 students should know,” said

Link Crew This leadership course is heavily involved with the Link Crew mentoring the Grade 9 students. Each group is comprised of two or three Link Leaders to approximately eight or 10 younger students or Linkers.

The benefit of this connection is to help the Grade 9 students, but also to encourage the Link Leaders to step outside of their comfort zone to help others. By this approach, it is hoped the groups will gain leadership experience, self confidence and learn how to build friendships.

Volunteers Natasha Dixon and Jenna Dijkema are looking forward to being Link Crew Leaders and assisting the students.

“We had to fill out a questionnaire and the teachers had a meeting to determine who they decided would be the best fit,” said Dixon.

Dijkema says it was suggested to her that perhaps she would like to apply and she’s glad she did.

“I want the leadership opportunity, a chance to mentor kids,” she said. “I want them to get involved

when they are young and then they will be involved all through high school.”

Dixon feels there are a lot of leadership opportunities.

“We are going to be leaders at Brown’s Bay Day and Frosh Friday,” offered Dixon. “If the students have any problems, they will come to us for help.”

As for Hanna, he was also encouraged by a teacher to apply.

“I didn’t know much about the Link Crew,” he admitted. “A teacher approached me suggesting that I apply.”

Hanna is glad he is part of the Link Crew as he wants to become more involved and gain the leadership skills that will help him in every day life.

Grades 7 and 8 transition In addition to the Link Crew program there was the transition of grades 7 and 8 to area high schools including ADHS. To the tune of $250,000, upgrades were done to accommodate the intermediate grades, approximately 86 students. It was identified that these classes See LINK page 42

“One of the areas the grades 7 and 8 are not allowed to go to is the smoking area,” he said. “We have the seven and eights all together with rooms congregated together which is easier for teachers to exchange ideas, move groups and the computer room is just down from their class. So there is very

“We have 80 or 90 kids involved in Parliament, so what we would like to do is create a Parliamentary Mentor who can help with the grades 7 and 8,” said Phillips. “The Link Crew is a possibility. The fact that we have the Link Crew for Grade 9 is great and we need to roll this off to grades 7 and 8.”

Last year Link Crew was a pilot program at North Grenville District High School. Now Athens District High School has adopted it and they are thinking outside the box. Perhaps grades 7 and 8 could benefit as well.

Auction items Those who love the special pleasures of the Thousand Islands can bid on events ranging from an Islander Porch Party for Eight with rare scotch nosings and special BBQ from the Pig Iron, a Family Christmas Party at Godfrey House Inn, a weekend escape to “Toronto the Good” including a night at the opera, and a cooking party for eight at the Sleepy Hollow B & B. Silent auction “scores” can include golf packages, dinner at the sumptuous Athlone Inn or the charming Waterfall Tea Room, or even half a “CSA” garden produce package.

An event in itself, Local Flavours/Local Friends could also be the perfect finish to an autumn day of Doors Open, Gananoque… or a complement to the matinee or evening performance of the charming comedy Henry and Alice: Into the Wild at the Playhouse Springer Theatre.

Oddfellows Hall, Lyn September 13th 1952–2012 The family of Tom and Thelma Christie send this poem with much love to honor them on their 60th Wedding Anniversary They were wed in September of 1952, Ready to start a life together, never guessing all they would see and do.

Making life even more fun they add a girl, baby number one.

Next a boy, named for his dad, and to finish it all another girl, they were so glad.

Working at Bell Canada made for many adventures— some meant traveling many miles.

Saudi Arabia is a special place where they worked, lived, and recall with a smile.

The greatest gift they found in the Lord, their Savior and friend.

We are so thankful they passed on the Truth to us, a blessing that has no end.

Time spent with the Gideons, Tom and Thelma are always willing to serve, Living out the truth of the saying “Love is a verb”.

Now, as the years go on, they have added many more to the family clan, Seven grandchildren, eight great grandchildren— and it continues to expand!

Each summer all the family gathers for time at Christie Cottage at the lake, A beautiful place, full of life and memories that when we leave, with us we take.

We honor the love that started all those 60 years ago, And now the legacy Tom and Thelma have started will only grow and grow.

Jack Reade: a senior golfer who still has game EMC Sports - Back in 1990 when I rejoined the Brockville Country Club for a second stint, there were a few golfers I met at the club for whom I had the utmost respect.

These golfers were not necessarily the best players at the club, but they sure had a tremendous influence on me and my game and how I eventually played the golf course.

Kent Gilder was very knowledgeable about the game at both the club and

JRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf Tip of the Week John Ryan

professional levels. Jimmy Edgar, whom I became really good friends with, was a master tactician. He plotted his way around the course playing to his strengths. He played his own game. Jimmy took me under his wing and taught me to harness my power and play the course to

my strengths. He taught me how to manage my game and told me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about overpowering a course that leads to winning tournaments.

Chil Heward, Bob Scott and Jack Reade were all good senior golfers with great golf swings. All were very low handicappers in their day and their influence on me didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go unappreciated.

I remember once playing with Chil Heward when he was six under par for the 12 holes that we played. Boy

what an eye-opening experience that was for me, and I thought I had a pretty good game. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was any senior at the club who had game like that. It was awesome to watch.

Bob Scott and Jack Reade had the old Ben Hogan type golf swings. They were low rounded swings on both sides of the ball. Their swings fascinated me and I often watched them hit balls on the driving range at the club.

Jack, Jasper as he is affectionately known, became a big fan of mine and what I was working on with my golf swing. I always told Jack what I was working on and he would always give me his opinion, which I totally respected.

And oh yes, he nicknamed me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ernieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in reference to my favourite golfer Ernie Els, because of the smooth tempo I had during my swing.

Recently Jack called me to look at his golf swing. He

50 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, September 13, 2012

This is the position Jack was in when he first came to see me this summer, left arm disconnected and he picked the club up with his hands and arms.

He merely just flailed his arms and club at the ball, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no power generated doing that type of motion.

told me I was his last hope.

If I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get him to hit the ball better, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to play the game he loves any more. Talk about pressure.

Jasper is in his 90th year and if you have a chance to watch him hit balls you will be in awe.

As you will see in the two accompanying photos, the differences in his backswing.

In his hey day, a scratch golfer at the Royal Montreal, he had a very â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;connectedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf swing where he swung the club and his arms around him. Similar to the way Hogan did.

Problem: Jack now picks the club up with his hands and arms and flails at the ball. No speed or distance when you swing yours arms independent of the body. Remember this â&#x20AC;&#x153;the dog wags the tail not the tail wags the dogâ&#x20AC;?.

Jack also finished his swing with most of his weight on his back foot leading to fat and thin shots. He also hit his share of pushes and hooks.

Solution: I tried to get Jack back to swinging the club the way he used to, more around him and less in front of him. Sure his flexibility and strength arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be what they used to be but when he swings like he used to, he hit the ball awesome. I just wanted his arms to follow the lead of his body.

When he did this, his swing was much more rounded, leading him to generating more clubhead speed without exerting any more effort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact less effort. His takeaway was

more inside the target line with no independent lifting of his arms resulting in a nice draw.

To get him to finish with a majority of his weight on his front foot I told him to use the analogy of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;slamming the door shutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. His front leg is the door jam and his back leg and body are the door.

When Jasper slammed that damn door, he hit the ball great. Now the other issue I have with Jack is to make sure he gets the right equipment for him and his golf swing. He definitely needs lighter more flexible shafts and a more lofted driver say around 14 or 15 degrees. This will enable him to hit the ball both higher and further.

Summary: When Jack goes back to what he used to do, what is familiar to him, I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching a Ben Hogan disciple at work.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad Jack has decided to go back to playing golf again, the Country Club is certainly better for it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better for it. I love listening to his stories about playing golf in the old days, it fascinates me.

Remember, you can teach an old dog new tricks, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Let that old dog do what he already knows and what he is already familiar with, ruff ruff.

EMC Sports - It would have been difficult to pick a better weekend for such a prestigious inaugural event.

The Great Waterway Classic, held at Smugglerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glen Golf Course on the Thousand Islands Parkway near Gananoque from Sept. 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 9, had a taste of just about everything to challenge even the most seasoned pros, from sun and calm to high winds accompanied to rain and possible hail.

A challenging 18 holes, with enough changes in terrain from hole to hole to keep it interesting, pros from all over Canada, the U.S. and places as far away as Buenos Aires were champing at the bit to get a chance to participate in this brand new stop on the Canadian Tour.

Play was hot and heavy, but when the dust cleared the final round leaderboard read (bold type indicating Canadian players): Eugene Wong North Vancouver, BC 67-66-68-65 (-18)

WILLIS COLLEGE LAUNCHES NEW TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS NEEDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY WORKPLACE â&#x20AC;&#x153;In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex workplace, tech professionals are playing a more critical role in guiding business than ever before,â&#x20AC;? said David Ticoll, Special Advisor to the Canadian Coalition for Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ICT Skills (CCICT). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The culture has shifted, bringing with it the need for technology professionals that have strong communication skills, a timely knowledge base and relevant FHUWLÂżFDWLRQV ´ $FFRUGLQJ WR D UHFHQW study by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC), between now and 2016, Canadian businesses will need to hire more than 100,000 IT workers. In response to call for action, Willis College, an industry leader in career education established successful programs and partnerships with some of the leading organizations in the industry.
