Tom Beach Memorial Dart Tournament raises close to $3,000 for diabetes research By RYLAND COYNE rcoyne@perfprint.ca

EMC News – This tournament continues to hit the bull’s eye. More than 70 supporters and competitors returned to the Royal Canadian Legion Fort Wellington Branch 97 hall in Prescott on Saturday to participate in the Tom Beach Memorial Dart Tournament. The eighth annual event, a fundraiser for the Canadian Diabetes Association, attracted participants from as far away as Smiths Falls, Kingston, Ottawa and Morrisburg. Together they raised $2,840.86 in support of diabetes research pushing the eight-year grand total to $22,308.39. “In our first year in ’05, we hoped to raise $1,000. We did $1,110,” said co-organizer Terri Beach after whose late husband Tom the tournament

is named. “Every year it’s (fundraising total) grown, and so has the support from the merchants.” Not only was there a trophy to be won by the topscoring team, many dozens of prizes were also available ensuring no one went home empty handed at the end of the day. “Everything you see here,” noted co-organizer Veronica King, “will go home with someone.” The event is now so well established in the community that organizers now have people calling them to offer them items for the prize table. “It’s amazing, especially given these hard economic times,” Terri said. Blind draw The tournament featured 18 four-person teams made up through a blind draw. The winners of the championship

trophy were Tom Coville, Josh Daynes, Rosanne Foster and Rosemarie Spas. But more than the competition, this was an opportunity to remember an old friend, an avid and talented dart player, and valued member of the local Legion Branch. “Because of his love of darts…this came about,” Terri explained, noting her husband was known for his great sense of sportsmanship, and his love of the game. He was also a diabetic and his “friends thought this would be a great way to raise some money” for research. Tom even had his own board at the Legion which Terri discovered the first year of the tournament when she found her husband’s initials carved into one of them. It was then she knew this tournament was the right thing to do. See DARTS pg 14

“We have a program this year where we are giving ground beef to each family,” said Sytsma. “We use the same model the Ottawa Food Bank uses. We buy a dairy cow at the local sales barn once a month and have it butchered, cut and wrapped.” It costs the food bank about $1,600 a month to keep this program going, so if there’s a farmer who would like to donate a cow to the food bank, the families and Operation Harvest Share would really appreciate and welcome the generosity. For donations of cheques or money orders please make payable to Operation Harvest Sharing with the address being P.O.

Concerts raise funds for churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organ restoration â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inside under the three keyboards was all electric padding run by air pressure and electricity,â&#x20AC;? said Reusing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now it will be digital.â&#x20AC;?

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brockvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saint Lawrence Anglican Church is now in the last phase of its restoration project of its 1933 Casavant pipe organ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cost of this organ restoration is $150,000,â&#x20AC;? said organist and choir director Jeff Reusing. Through the generosity of the parishioners of Saint Lawrence Anglican Church $100,000 has already been donated with $50,000 yet to be raised to complete phases one and two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phase three is actually taking the pipe work out and having it individually cleaned, repairing the inside leathers and the moving parts,â&#x20AC;? said Reusing. There are 2,000 pipes grouped in rows (ranks) of 32-70 pipes for each stop on the organ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pipes become rusty and oxidized over time,â&#x20AC;? indicated Reusing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so they have to be cleaned about every 30 years.â&#x20AC;? These are wired to the 224 pedals and keys which need to be cleaned and re-voiced for a more pleasing sound, as some of the pedals and keys were not functioning properly. As for the console (keyboards and stops) the 1930s technology was deteriorating and repairs were necessary.

Concert series So offset some of the costs for repair and updates, Saint Lawrence Anglican Church will be hosing a series of concerts, the Organ Restoration Fall Concert Series. On Sunday, Sept. 30 starting at 4 p.m., the Humdingersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ring concert featuring popular music with soloists and guest performers, in-

Saint Lawrence Anglican Church organist and choir director Jeff Reusing holds a pipe to show one of the many that need to be cleaned regarding the 1933 Casavant pipe organ. In 2011 the church undertook an organ restoration project of $150,000. The final stage of this project is coming to an end with a remaining $50,000 to be raised.

As well, Ann McMahon will be doing some demonstrations during the concert, to show people how things work. They have a five-octave set.â&#x20AC;? Tickets cost $10, available through the church office at 80 Pine Street (mornings only) or by calling (613) 345-5717 to reserve. Tickets will also be available at the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Tuesday, October 30, Michael Capon of St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cathedral in Kingston will be here,â&#x20AC;? offered Reusing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then on Tuesday, November 20, we are having a Young Performers concert which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping will be local instrumentalists. In the spring and fall of 2013, we do have some organ concerts planned.â&#x20AC;? To round out the series, there will be piano concertos and organ with Jeff Reusing as well as a piano concerto finale with Philip Crozier. For the past 80 years, the Saint Lawrence Anglican Church pipe organ has provided a history of wonderful music during countless concerts and services.

Second annual Show and Silent Auction from TIARTS raising both interest and funds for charities EMC Events - Thousand Islands Arts (TIARTS) was so delighted with the results of last year’s effort that they have decided to once again become patrons of the Gananoque and District Humane Society (GDHS) and the Gananoque Food Bank (GFB) with Art and Soul, their annual silent auction at The Socialist Pig coffee house at 21 King Street East in Gananoque. And as they have established, they will also be doing a second event, an artists’ show and sale at Steel, a clothing store that shares the building with the coffee house. The theme of the event is “1812”, and pieces from 9 different area artists are up for auction. All of the pieces are on display at The Socialist Pig. “Each piece is unique and says something about the artist,” says Moyra Riley, jewelry artist. “We chose the 1812 theme in honour of the year’s celebrations, and each one has come up with a distinctive piece.” From the cloth doll in a frame offered by Wendo van Essen to the tiny bear on an ice flow by stone artist Terry Schaub, each selection is lov-

Anna Krak-Kepka has contributed one of her vi-

brant pieces to bring a sense of warmth and mystery to the show. A blend of plant life and imagination, it pulls

the viewer in with autumn colours and a sense of fire on the hearth. “There is so much beauty around us, things that people don’t see,” she says. “I try to share my view with others through my art.” Riley herself is offering a beautiful collection of pieces, including a lovely bracelet made up of totem animals, each cut from metal and displayed to magically march around the wearer’s wrist. “We split the money evenly between the Gananoque Food Bank and the Humane Society,” says Moyra Riley. “Last year we raised over $700 for them, which helped enable the Shelter to help pay their utility bills over the winter, and the Food Bank was going to use the money to buy Christmas hams, which I thought was hilarious since we were having this at the Socialist Pig. “The Socialist Pig and Steel, next door, are gracious hosts. The show will be held in Steel, and they’ve been very accommodating to us. It’s an excellent space architecturally and we couldn’t ask for any place nicer to show. It’s a small show.” Eight artists will have their works available this year. They are Mehry Afnan, glass

and fabric artist; Wendo Van Essen, fibre artist; Moyra Riley, jewellery artist; Larry Bolton, photographer; Anna Krak-Kepka, painter in acrylic and mixed media; Marnie Astley, metalsmith artist; Terry Schaub, stone artist; and Valerie L. Thomas, goldsmith artist. Each will be exhibiting several pieces as well as contributing to the silent auction. This year a special guest is joining the group. Una Veale will be doing amulet and ink stain readings, giving the interested a glimpse into their lives they might not have been expecting. Although she is not one of the artists, she is donating a portion of her proceeds to the silent auction charities as part of the event. The silent auction has been held throughout the month of September, and will culminate with the show and sale from Sept.28-30. “I hope everyone will join us for our opening on Friday evening,” says Riley. “Jay will have some yummy snacks to tempt you, local musicians will soothe you and exciting new art will inspire you. Be sure to place a bid on the silent auction items while you still can, and above all else, have a wonderful time.”

Times for the event are Friday the 28th from 5 – 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information on the artists and the event, please go to http://www.tiarts. org/tours.php?u=1&action= studio&tour=12.

• empower, inform and support Canadians living with cancer • advocate for public policies to improve the health of Canadians “This event came about because of the important role dogs have played in their owners’ battles with cancer or, sometimes, they themselves are cancer survivors,” said Shelley Byers, Event Organizer. “This is a great way for those canine companions to be recognized and to help their owners raise funds in an environment set up especially for them. For me, this is also a personal journey

as my husband & I lost our best friend Springer to cancer this past April. After being part of my Mom’s support system while she battled cancer, cancer knocked again on my door this time taking our dog with it. I didn’t have to think twice when asked to be part of this event.” More than just a walk, Bark For Life is an opportunity for people to be empowered through their canine companion partnerships.

Celebrating our young people

Photo by DOREEN BARNES

EMC Events - From Friday, Sept. 21 to Saturday, Sept. 22, at 2 p.m., the largest annual fundraiser, a silent auction was held for the Brockville Museum. The community and volunteers came through again with a variety of donated items to fill several rooms. Table lamps, candle holders, books, vases, dishware, frying pans, stylish hats, hand tools, linens and all sorts of treasures were featured.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Aging cycle pathway needs to be rebuilt DEAR EDITOR: As a summer cottager of the Ivy Lea area, my wife and I, as well as other members of our family, often cycle the bike path from Gananoque to the easterly border at the Hwy. 401. The path is a tremendous asset to the area for tourism plus it keeps cyclists safe from having to ride the more dangerous parkway. However, over the last several years, the path has become dangerous, waiting for an accident to happen and quite possibly legal action, due to its exceptionally poor condition. There are numerous ‘sink holes’ unseen by a cyclist until upon them when the bicycle suddenly rides up and down over these depressions which could cause an inexperienced cyclist to lose control.

There are holes, ‘pot holes’ – some several centimetres deep – that could easily throw cyclists if they are not paying attention. Grass grows up in several locations and east of Rockport near Caigers Lodge, there is an area that has heaved dramatically for several meters. The pavement has heaved possibly 10 cm. high creating a grave danger. These are just a few of the issues that need to be addressed before someone is seriously injured. We have observed more cyclists using the highway this year. Why they risk the highway traffic is a mystery, but maybe to See LETTER page 9

EMC Editorial – When it comes to publicity, young people often get the short end of the stick. All too often, a few ‘bad eggs’ grab the headlines, tainting the vast majority of upstanding youngsters, many of whom deserve praise for what they do to better their world. Enter the annual Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards. This wonderful program is co-ordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which the St. Lawrence EMC is a member, and sponsored by TD Bank Group as well as Direct Energy. This is your chance to shine a bright light on a young person who does good work in their community. Sometimes it’s easy to pick someone special from a crowd. Other times it may not be quite as obvious. Quite often, the young person does not even realize that what they are doing is making a difference. Any Ontario resident aged six to 17 is eligible to be chosen as an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year. They could be someone involved in a worthwhile community service; a special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; perhaps they’ve performed an act of heroism in the past year; or they are simply good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Each year, more than 100 nominations are received. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as final recipients of the provincial award which they will receive at a special ceremony next spring. Better yet, each nominee receives a certificate of recognition. We will also showcase their contributions in the EMC. Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow. Nomination deadline for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or by calling the OCNA at 1-905-639-8720, ext. 239.

Fall tradition became a family pastime EMC Lifestyle – This time of year, we all smelled the same at the Northcote School. The heavy scent of burning leaves penetrated everything we wore, and no amount of airing out could eliminate the odour of our smoke-infested clothes. But none of us minded. Burning leaves was something we all looked forward to at our farm and as far as I knew everyone in Northcote did the same thing. So none of us minded the heavy smell of smoke on our clothes that took days to get rid of. Well, that is, we five kids and Mother. Father said making the event into a grand affair was something he had little time for. Too many other more important things to do on the farm instead of making a party out of burning leaves! Our front and side yards were full of big maple trees, and by the time the last of the

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

summer rolled around, the leaves were, in some places, knee deep. We waited until the limbs were completely bare, and then, always on a Saturday, it was time to rake the leaves and pile them into big mounds well away from the house and barns. “You’re asking for trouble,” Father would say. “Just one little spark and the whole place would go up in smoke.” Mother paid him no heed, asking him to come up with even one barn or house that had been burned to the ground because of leaf burning out at Northcote. “Well, I sure hope we aren’t the first!” he retort-

ed every year as long as I can remember. I wasn’t big enough or strong enough to manage a rake. So my job was to circle the mounds and with my feet, try to make each pile round, and push any wayward leaves into place. It took most of the day to round up all the leaves, and when we were finished, we would have about four big piles of leaves in the centre of the yard. Of course, Mother, who made an occasion out of the most simple events, wouldn’t let us light the leaves until after the sun had gone down and the yard was in complete darkness.

Supper would be early that night; another excuse for Father to complain. He liked everything on time and that included his meals. So by the time we had eaten, cleaned up the kitchen and hauled out chairs to circle the mounds of leaves, nightfall had settled in. We would start out with heavy jackets on, to ward off the chill of the fall evening. My oldest brother Everett was always in charge of the matches. He had the lighting of the mounds down pat. He rolled sheets of the Renfrew Mercury into tight cones, and he lit the paper, setting it ablaze. That way he could poke the paper deep into the mounds of leaves, making sure it burned from the inside out. Very clever, was my brother Everett. We sat on the kitchen chairs, circling the burning mound, but well back from the fire, we five children and

Mother. Father chose to stay in the house reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. If marshmallows were in existence back then, we certainly didn’t know about them. And it is doubtful we could have afforded them anyway. So the only enjoyment we got was sitting on the chairs and watching the raked leaves go up in smoke. Mother always took her mouth organ out on those nights, and she expected us to sing along to whatever she was playing. Emerson refused. Audrey with her clear, sweet voice was the only one who could carry a tune, and so she and Mother provided what entertainment there was. I would sit on the chair, and listen, and watch the flames rise towards the sky and wonder why Father couldn’t see the sheer joy of the evening. The old iron pump was right in the middle of the yard, and although Mother

said there was absolutely no need for it, Father made sure there were several pails on the pump platform just in case the blaze got out of hand. By the time the fire was raging, we took off our jackets as the heat came at us in waves. It didn’t take long for the piles of leaves to be burnt right to the ground. And I often wondered if it was worth the effort. When it was all over, and we had hauled the kitchen chairs back into the house, Father would let out a big sigh, as if he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. He would go out to the yard for the first time since supper was over, and he would pump many pails of water, and pour it over the remnants of the burning leaves. He was taking no chances that the barns and the log house that had been there for three generations would go up in smoke!

Expect hiring pace to moderate in Brockville

Show and tell EMC Events - On Friday, Sept. 21, fellow students in Michael Baley’s class of Athens District High School were surprised when his father Lee brought in Big Red, a greenwinged macaw (also known as a red and green macaw or ara chloropterus) for Show and Tell. These birds originate in the forests and woodlands of northern and central South America. They are extremely intelligent and very interactive with people. They learn quickly and can be life-long companions.

EMC News – Brockville-area employers are expecting an ambiguous hiring climate for the fourth quarter of 2012, according to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. “Survey data shows that seven per cent of employers are planning to hire for the upcoming quarter (October to December) while 10 per cent are anticipating cutbacks,” said Virginia Stenner of Manpower’s Brockville office. The other 83 per cent of employers are planning to maintain their staffing levels. “Brockville’s fourth quarter Net Employment Outlook of negative three per cent is a moderate decrease from the previous quarter outlook of three per cent,” said Stenner. “It’s also the same as the percentage reported during this time last year, indicating a reserved hiring pace for the upcoming months.” “Job seekers in all regions are likely to benefit from a positive hiring climate from October through December, with employers in Western Canada reporting the most upbeat outlook,” said Byrne Luft, vice president of operations, Staffing Services for Manpower Canada. “Although regional outlooks have experienced moderate decreases compared to the previous quarter, job seekers should maintain confidence in the labour market as employers throughout Canada anticipate the hiring pace will remain steady through the autumn. Most of the new jobs created in Canada this year have been full-time, high paying positions. Many of the job reductions have come from part-time employment.”

avoid the dangers of the path as they actually feel safer on the highway with the traffic. At the speed some cyclists travel, it is safer using the highway and not having to worry about the many hazards they face on the pathway. When Bell (Telephone) constructed the path, some 35 years ago, it was a great idea. Over the years skateboarders and in-line skaters used it, but not for the last several years, due to conditions. There is no reason, with high property taxes, the annual gift from the casino to Gananoque and Leeds and the 1000 Islands, that monies are not available to reconstruct

It should be a safe, smooth, enjoyable pathway for cyclists of all ages and experience, joggers, walkers, anyone who can use it for whatever purpose.

Canada Company Tour de Force biking for military families By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - The North American Moving Services Canada Tour de Force swept through Gananoque on Sept. 20. Stopping briefly for coffee at the Socialist Pig on King Street, they were fresh and eager to get to their next stop on their way to Ottawa. “We’re the third annual Canada Company Tour de Force, and we raise money for military families, for children for their post-secondary education, and we also raise a lot of awareness for the military,” said Kevin DeVereux for the team. “We also raise money for camps for children whose parents are deployed so they can go to camp in the summertime. We started off with 13 riders the first year, about 35 last year, and we’re up to 43 now. We have 24 military people with us – eight from the army, eight from the navy and eight from the air force – and we hope to raise over $200 thousand this year for children.” The group biked from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and straight into Ottawa. They performed a ceremonial cycle out of Ottawa, with 18,000 runners behind them doing the annual Army Run marathon on September 23. “We’re stopping off at armouries along the way and getting a first hand look at the

We do it every year, and we’re raising more awareness of the tour.” The money raised by this year’s ride will help provide funding for programs such as: · Camps for Kids of Deployed Military Personnel in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia · Canada Company Scholarship Fund which helps cover the costs associated with ob-

Details of the program as listed include: · Each team is required to do minimum fundraising of

Parade to lead the start of the Ottawa 2012 Army Run, and much more · TOP TEN FUNDRAISER AWARDS including: · Full day at Camp Petawawa known as “Collaborative Spirit 2012”. This is an incredible experience available only to a select group of individuals including the top fundraisers for Tour de Force. Participants will have an opportunity to drive LAVs, live fire tanks, do a mock parachute tower jump, fire the vast array of weapons currently utilized by the Canadian military including an actual Howitzer, and generally live a day in the life of a Canadian soldier in full

New chapter opens in life of Brockville Shopping Centre from L/G Realtor Inc. broker Ralph Legere was an immediate ‘yes’. “We have had a number of interested parties, some national, a couple of American companies and we are in discussions with a number of companies at this point,” said Legere. “As a real estate commercial broker I’m impressed with the interest that is being expressed at this time.” Madhani confirmed that a showing would be taking place on Thursday of the Zellers location. “I’m looking at this (Zellers

space) from two perspectives,” stated Legere. “As one, if I can get an international or national company to take the whole 82,000 square feet, yes; but if not, we are looking at breaking it up into two or three 25 or 30,000 square feet to meet the needs of the mall.” Madhani added that the preference would be to have more tenants to occupy the area because of the various uses from which the centre could benefit.

Ralph Legere of L/G Realty Inc. (left) and Jameel Madhani, (right) director, Equiprop Management Limited talk about the opportunities the Brockville Shopping Centre has in attracting new retail tenants. In fact, a new fitness company will soon be joining Fabricland, ValuMart and other tenants at the centre. Although there are about 30 stores at the Brockville Shopping Centre, with Zellers closing and the possibility of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) (although the centre’s management has not received a formal notice of termination of the lease), that would leave about 28 retailers. “We know of some discus-

sions with some of our tenants to expand into some of the vacant spaces,” said Madhani. “We have been approached by the Dollar Store community constantly and there have been various proposals from different Dollar Store retailers.” When asked about the possibility of the Zellers space being occupied, the response

This is a vision he would like to recreate in the foreseeable future with people gathering, sitting and socializing. Some of the changes will include more seating with the replanting of trees to give the inner yard a fresh look.

EMC Business – The announced closure of the local Zellers store in early 2013 has sparked changes at the Brockville Shopping Centre. Rather than a negative, the owners view the shift as an opportunity, a “new chapter” in its long history, according to Jameel Madhani, director with Equiprop Management Ltd. “My father with Mike Slamersek and other managers before him, and today with Ed MacLean, have been managing this property for most of the last 50 years.” Madhani noted that over this time they have expanded Zellers and ValuMart five times, and created offices on the second floor. “Today, we would like to confirm with you that Zellers is vacating this centre early next year,” said Madhani. “We have been in communication with them for almost a year now working through the terms of early lease termination.” Zellers’ lease still has five years left and the two parties are looking to settle their rental arrangement amicably. Madhani continued to say that a ‘For Lease’ sign has been positioned on the Brockville Shopping Centre roof. Management has also engaged the brokerage community and the surrounding region to re-introduce the Brockville Shopping Centre as a one-stop shopping destination in the area. “L/G Realty Inc. is our chosen partner as we look to provide the city with an exciting group of new retailers and businesses based at the centre,” said Madhani. “We have begun to receive expressions of interest from a variety of different businesses from clothing to medical and restaurants.” It was expressed that management is working very closely with lenders, brokers and contractors, a marketing team, consultants and the city, in hopes of breathing new life into this retail landscape. “With the return of Fabricland in March of this year, they have expanded their unit to 10,000 square feet and the renewal of our most valued tenant ValuMart, who are extending their lease by 10 years,” he said. “In fact, we are very proud to announce we have recently completed our negotiations with one of North America’s premiere names in physical fitness, a 5,300 square-foot gym facility within a few months.” This fitness company will occupy the former Jumbo Video unit with an anticipated opening of December this year. “We have also done a fair bit of preparatory work for the courtyard area and doing some work to the rear of ValuMart,” indicated Madhani. “We are excited that there is a very significant investment program.” Madhani remembers years ago when he visited the

★ ★ ★ ★ VINYL & CARPET ★ ★ ★ ★ I.V.C. DISTINCTION It’s hard to believe that 9 years has passed as Frank Maggio looks back over the tremendous evolution of a business which began humbly in a shed in his back yard. Since the very earliest years Frank made it his priority to insure that whatever success were to come of Tile Tech Flooring that it

would be solely based on providing the most unique forms of quality in the industry. With pride, Tile Tech officially opened their doors in early 2003 with a small but distinct selection of floor coverings and with a business model to rival the design houses in larger cities he strove for the excellence that would inevitably become the Tile Tech difference. Tile Tech’s growth has seen them emerge from that small humble shed to the acquisition of what is now the Tile Tech Plaza at 3506 Coons Rd. in Brockville where they have now grown into 4 of the units and have become a major competitor in South Eastern Ontario. To this day Tile Tech remains physically smaller than many other flooring stores but their footprint is unmatched as they develop long lasting relationships with the customer and the community. “We’re definitely a smaller store but it has never done us any harm simply because customers can sense in our knowledge, pride, confidence and attention to details that we are not like all the other stores“, says Sales Representative Steve Pelehos, “They know that they will be getting the best possible products at the best possible prices!” Once a year, to celebrate their Birthday the Tile Tech 12 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, September 27, 2012

team pushes their suppliers for the most unbeatable prices of the year to offer their customers for 3 days only! This year is no exception and the deals will be the greatest to come through their doors in an event that should not be missed by anyone who has plans to update their floor coverings. “These deals are the perfect opportunity for both the regular customers and the do-it-yourself customers”, says owner Frank Maggio, “There will be door crashers and specials that you only see on a very rare occasion and everyone will have the opportunity to save, enjoy some bbq’d food and cake and most importantly they can experience the difference as our energetic, polite and knowledgeable teams assists them in making the perfect choice for their project!” The weekend will also include a live remote radio broadcast by BOB FM on Saturday while Tile Tech provides free barbequed hamburgers and hotdogs as well as cake and coffee to celebrate their ninth year in business. Tile Tech carries all types of floor coverings ranging from Porcelain Tile, DuraCeramic, Vinyl and Carpet, Carpet Tiles, Vinyl Plank Products, Solid and Engineered Hardwood as well as Premium Laminates. 2012 has been a fantastic year for growth with the introduction of some real heavy weight products from manufacturers such as Mohawk Carpets which has 125+ years in proven quality and the historically innovative Mercier Hardwoods who were the first pre-finished hardwoods in the world and who still have uncompromised quality benchmarks that set them apart from all other competition! “There’s been

a huge evolution in product diversity which allows for greater choice, better alternatives to what we’ve come to know as standards all the while increasing product quality and durability”, says Sales Representative Mike Graveline. Many other manufacturers and distributors have vastly updated their displays with new colours, patterns and designs and many have reduced their prices to attract a greater interest in the product lines. In addition to being a retailer of some of the finest quality floor covering, Tile Tech is also very well known for their custom bathroom tile designs and installations as well as their backsplash design and installations.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zellers themselves used to provide a pharmacy,â&#x20AC;? said Madhani. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They provided several different uses, so to recreate that experience of different retailers might be an interesting opportunity.â&#x20AC;? The existing tenants have also been involved in the talks surrounding the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reinvestment program, namely, the lease renewal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great deal of credit is due to the tenants themselves as we have been renewing the leases and the tenants have been very supportive of the new strategy and the direction we are going,â&#x20AC;? said Madhani. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where there have been exclusivity clauses, they have been very flexible in working with us, so we can continue to attract new types of retailers in the city and our centre. Some of these exclusivity clauses are not relevant anymore.â&#x20AC;? In addition to new tenants, Madhani wants to change the signage to make the mall more visible from the highway.

On Wednesday, Sept. 19, Equiprop Management Limited director Jameel Madhani held a press conference to announce the partnership with real estate commercial broker Ralph Legere of L/G Realty Inc. to provide the Brockville Shopping Centre with new retailers and businesses for the citizens of Brockville and surrounding area.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also considering the possibility of innovative signage for the tenants, more lighting, installation of benches and more cameras. Just recently, the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security company had relocated to the ground level to give a more visible presence. Madhani wants the public to be engaged in this renovation as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of our digital media campaign is to use social media and we do very much intend on having public feedback on different aspects of the renovations,â&#x20AC;? said Madhani. He seems optimistic about the Brockville Shopping Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future and is steadfast in presenting the public with a one-stop shopping destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We at Equiprop Management remain committed to providing convenient, vibrant and environmentally sustainable retail experiences in the City of Brockville and to welcome all to enjoy this centre as it evolves once again,â&#x20AC;? said Madhani.

Rosanne Foster, a member of the winning fourperson team at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth annual Tom Beach Memorial Dart Tournament, warms up Saturday morning prior to the event. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament raised more than $2,800 for diabetes research.

DARTS From front page

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me goose bumps every time I tell that story,â&#x20AC;? she said. Veronica says they start promoting the tournament in June. That allows people, many of whom return year after year, to plan for the day well in advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stayed constant with the number of players,â&#x20AC;? she said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the level of donations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cash and items either for the prize table or silent auction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown steadily. Terri notes the committee appreciates â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the support from the local businesses and individuals that donate prizes and money to our cause, and all the players who come out to play.â&#x20AC;? And she offers a big thank you to Ross King, Veronica

King and David Haynes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be here if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for them.â&#x20AC;? Making the day complete, Terri also took up a collection to support her mother Shirley Hughes who is undergoing cancer treatment and has lost her hair as a result. In exchange for the donations, Terri agreed to shave her head to support her momâ&#x20AC;Śbut she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. She was joined in the shearing exercise by her brother Larry Hughes, her great-nephew Hunter Giles, her great-niece Shay Turcotte and their â&#x20AC;&#x153;soon-to-beâ&#x20AC;? stepfather Bob Feser. Josh Daynes also had his â&#x20AC;&#x153;coveted goateeâ&#x20AC;? removed allowing them to raise a cool $500.

sister, a free-wheeling livefor-the-moment woman who serves as a catalyst for much of the action.â&#x20AC;? When asked about how he felt about doing this play and reprising the character of Henry, Bock responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience of doing Sexy Laundry was so much fun that we both jumped at the chance to revisit the characters, even before we saw the script. Whether we have actually recreated them is beside the point, because finally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about two actors sharing the stage in the comfort of a familiar dynamic, which sort of answers your next question, I think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the record, I also have a good working relationship with Rosemary Doyle, who plays the sister. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done some very good work together, including Guys and Dolls, and a play called Finneganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wake, which was a very hot ticket at Tarragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Extra Space some years ago.â&#x20AC;? The play easily shows the comfort level felt by those performing in it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is a definite sense of family and camaraderie that can only be found when people feel easy about being together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping to beat back the ravages of time, to remember my lines and be as funny as I know how to be,â&#x20AC;? said Bock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And loveable. People should look forward to some laughs, some poignancy, some moments of recognition concerning the stresses of married life, and a satisfying conclusion. No bugs.â&#x20AC;? And there certainly are no bugs. Or other creepy crawlies, just a good time for all.

EMC Events - There are an alarming number of residents in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat enough fruits and vegetables, notes the local health unit. According to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) 2007, 60.9 per cent of LGL residents eat less than five servings of vegetables and fruit and 59.9 per cent of LGL residents are overweight or obese. Because of this, the Food Matters coalition has identified food skills workshops as a strategy to provide skills for residents to increase access to healthy food as well as to increase access to food sources for low-income residents in the area. Earlier in the year, the coalition held a workshop teaching residents to grow their own food even if they did not have a garden or yard. This

make cuts in the long side of the dough. Each cut should be 1 inch apart, and extend from the outer edge of the dough in to the edge of the filling. Next, starting at one end of the rectangle, fold a strip of dough diagonally over the filling. Now, fold a strip of dough from the other side so that it overlaps the first strip in the centre. Continue, alternating sides, so that the filling is completely covered. Cover the dough with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until double. Use a ruler to measure the height of the braid before and during the rising to tell when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. When the bread is done, use the aluminum foil to transfer it to a rack. Slide the foil out from under the braid, and let it cool. Slice to serve.

EMC Lifestyle - Now that fall is officially here, the cool, sunny days are just right for a family outing to visit one of the many apple orchards in Eastern Ontario. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there, ask the orchard staff to recommend which apples are best for eating and which types are better for baking. For this Apple Cinnamon Braid, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need two or three baking apples. The recipe starts with the dough cycle in your breadmaking machine, then finishes in the oven. Shaping the dough into a braid is very easy. Give the recipe a try now, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make it again for your guests on Thanksgiving weekend. This bread is nice with breakfast, with coffee or for dessert. Apple Cinnamon Braid Dough 2/3 cup water 3 tbsp. margarine or butter, softened 3 tbsp. white sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast Filling 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced 1 tbsp. white sugar 1 tbsp. flour 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. margarine or butter Place the ingredients for the dough into your bread machine in the order given. Select the Dough cycle. While the machine is working, prepare the apples. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a microwave-safe bowl, and let sit for 15 minutes. Microwave the apple mixture on High for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. When the apples are soft and syrupy, the filling is done. Set it aside to cool. When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread machine. Place it on a lightly floured sur-

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While it’s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a ‘good student discount’ is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the

road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Don’t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways

to save include changing your deductible – perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,

check with your insurance company to make sure you’re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that it’s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

Area artist Terry Schaub presents sculpture to Prince Edward EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Local artist Terry W. Schaub was commissioned by an officer at CFB Trenton to create a piece commemorating the dedication of a memorial to the men of Halifax bomber LW682/owâ&#x20AC;?Mâ&#x20AC;? . The bomber, one of the 426 squadron, was shot down over Belgium in WW2 and remained in a bog there until

it was recently un-earthed. Original plans were to rebuild the bomber but it was too far gone, so it was smelted down into aluminum ingots. Some of the ingots were used in the roof of the Memorial at the Bomber Command in England which was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth in June 2012. The rest of the ingots were shipped

This piece was presented recently to HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, as a thank you for attending and unveiling of the memorial for the men of the bomber, at CFB Trenton.

Terry was included in the presentation ceremony and afterwards had a great chat with the Prince about the process of

making the sculpture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prince Edward was very personable and genuinely interested in the creation of the piece,â&#x20AC;? said the artist. Terry also had time to spend with the veterans who came for the memorial and stated that they were some of the most interesting people.

Brockville Tikis’ EOJHL season gets off to solid start EMC Sports - Four games into the start of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Junior B Hockey League schedule, the Brockville Tikis have made believers of their fans and more importantly, themselves. The team has registered a pair of wins in the young season and gained a point from an overtime loss, before running into the impressive Westport Rideaus and going down to defeat last Friday evening. The Tikis have knocked off the South Grenville Rangers 6-3, whitewashed the Gananoque Islanders 1-0 and then battled hard against the alwaystough Athens Aeros before bowing 2-1 in overtime. The Westport road trip was a valuable learning experience for the young squad as they were outplayed and outgunned 8-3. The Brockville coaching staff of J.B. Ryan, Jon Cross and Steve Stranges has instilled a solid work ethic in this club, which features good balance among the forward lines and a steady group of defencemen who have played

his fellow coaches set out to achieve immediately after getting hired. Some of the players signed who once donned their skates in the Brockville Minor Hockey Association include rookie netminder Mack Frere, defencemen John Keane, Tanner Benton and John Kalivas, and forwards Austin Benson, Ryan Harper, Casey Crooke, Jesse Robertson and Brett Jackson.

Registered Disability Savings Plans now more ﬂexible

Manage Your Money Increased maximum annual withdrawals Currently, when government contributions (CDSGs and CDSBs) were greater than personal plan contributions, the maximum amount that can be withdrawn from the plan each year is determined by the Lifetime Disability Payment Formula (LDAP Formula). Beginning in 2014, the withdrawal limit will increase to the greater amount determined by the LDAP Formula and 10% of the fair market value of plan assets at the beginning of a calendar year. Increased minimum annual withdrawals Currently, when personal plan contributions exceed government contributions, withdrawals must begin in the year the beneficiary turns 60 and they can be as little as $1 a year. Beginning in 2014, beneficiaries 60 or older will be required to withdraw at least the amount determined by the LDAP Formula. Rollover of RESP eligible investment income Beginning in 2014, income from investments held within a Registered Educational Savings Plan (RESP) for a child with a disability can be rolled over to that child’s RDSP on a tax-deferred basis. All Canada Education Savings Grants (CESGs) and Canada Learning Bonds (CLBs)* must be repaid and the RESP must be terminated. The amount applied to the RDSP will be ineligible to receive CDSGs. Extended termination date Currently, if an RDSP beneficiary becomes ineligible for the federal Disability Tax Credit (DTC), their plan has to be terminated

by the end of the following year. Beginning in 2014, a plan holder can elect to extend the termination date (with medical certification) if it seems likely the beneficiary’s condition will once again become DTC-eligible in the foreseeable future. To more fully understand what these RDSP changes mean to you and your beneficiary, seek advice from your professional advisor. *The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) are provided by the Government of Canada. CLB eligibility depends on family income levels. Some provinces make education savings grants available to their residents. The Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG) and the Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB) are provided by the Government of Canada. Eligibility depends on family income levels. Speak to an Investors Group Consultant about RDSP’s special rules; any redemption may require repayment of the CDSG and CDSB.

Under a variety of proposals in the 2012 federal budget, Canadians with Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSPs) will have greater flexibility to make plan withdrawals; the list of those eligible to be plan holders has also been temporarily expanded. Here is a brief list of the RDSP changes. Plan holders Before those changes, when an RDSP was first established for an adult disabled beneficiary, the holder of the plan had to be the disabled beneficiary, unless that person was contractually incompetent, in which case the holder had to be their guardian or legal representative. Under the new measures, between now and December 31, 2016, certain family members (a spouse, common-law partner, or parent of the disabled individual) may become RDSP plan holders for an adult whose capacity to enter into a contract is in doubt. Reduction in the clawback amount to make it proportional Under the previous rules, when an amount was withdrawn from an RDSP, all the Canada Disability Savings Grants (CDSGs) and Canada Disability Savings Bonds (CDSBs) paid into an RDSP in the preceding 10 years had to be repaid to the government. A proportional repayment rule is now in place that applies when a withdrawal is made from an RDSP in 2014 or later. For every $1 withdrawn from an RDSP, $3 of any CDSGs or CDSBs paid into the plan in the 10 years preceding the withdrawal must be repaid, up to the maximum of the assistance holdback amount – which is generally defined as the total amount of bonds and grants paid into an RDSP within a particular 10-year period.

Good crowd The team attracted more than 200 fans for last Wednesday’s game against Athens and interest in the Junior B franchise turnaround is definitely growing, especially among the high school population. The fact they are once again competitive and playing with a lot of spirit has not gone unnoticed. “After last season was complete, I started recruiting, but faced some difficulties as our team was not a destination of choice,” Ryan admits. The Brockville head coach/ GM had the challenge during the summer of convincing players to come and join a Tikis squad that stumbled through a horrible 2011-12 campaign that produced a mere one victory. It was not an easy sell, but the efforts have paid off. “I feel after the Bravestation concert (at the Arts Centre in August) and revealing the

new Tikis jerseys, we started to build a positive buzz about the team which was reflected by our turnout in both conditioning and training camps.” Ryan and his staff had more than 40 players show up in pursuit of starting jobs when tryouts began at the Youth Arena after Labour Day weekend. “With such strong turnouts, it gave us the luxury of having more options, which produced a more competitive camp. We all saw some surprises when the final roster was completed.” The Tikis have their home games every Wednesday night at the Memorial Centre at 7:45 p.m. and boast the lowest ticket prices in the league - $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and $4 for students. Youngsters age 12 and under are always admitted free of charge when accompanied by an adult. Along with their popular opponents from South Grenville, Athens, Westport and Gananoque, the Tikis will also face the St. Lawrence division foes from Casselman, Alexandria, Winchester, Char-Lan, Morrisburg and Akwesasne. The Tikis also plan to work closely with the BMHA’s major midget Jr. Braves rep team and will draw on their talent pool for affiliate player help during the season.

Playing good golf can put a spring in your step JR’s Golf Tip of the Week John Ryan

Craig Brennan was small in stature and was armed with a bullet proof short game, he lacked some serious length off the tee. Craig was apprehensive at first but when he decided to make the commitment to work with me, his golf career took a drastic change for the better. He increased his distance off the tee by some 40 yards and this allowed him to compete and win tournaments. Craig went on to win a few CJGA events and earned himself a spot to represent Canada in a World Tournament twice. Craig certainly had a special gleam in

After videoing my swing I noticed there wasn’t enough space between my knees which meant I was overturning. So I used a chair to assist me with this, I had a tendency to rotate everything together. So with the chair I tried to keep both cheeks of my butt up against it a little longer than I was, this restricted my hip turn and allowed me to get some distance back. his eyes after those mammoth accomplishments, and who could blame him for that? Benjamin James Glynn is a gifted athlete who is always striving to be the best he can be. Ben would do whatever it takes to become a great player. He was dedicated and worked very hard on his game but unfortunately injuries have sidelined him and his progress for the last three or four years. Before his injuries he had a summer to remember which included two wins in only four starts on the CJGA Tour. Oh, and by the way, he finished second in another of those events. Jim Cahill lived for hunting and golf. When Jimmy finally trusted me enough to help him with his game, he blossomed into the golfer he always wanted to be. We built his swing by focusing on his strengths – strong hands, wrists and forearms. He was limited in how much he could rotate his upper body during his backswing. Within two months he went out and best-

higher, but a lot further than I have ever seen him hit the ball. Garry turns 71 later this year. You could sense how excited Garry was about hitting his next shot, that was very cool for me to see that. David Cooke went from being an average goaltender in hockey and average baseball player to becoming the area’s winningest golfer ever. At 12 years old I told Dave if you keep working hard on your game you will be the best golfer in this area when you are 16, and he was. He landed a golf scholarship in Florida for his efforts. Dave was a very confident but yet classy golfer and person. Matt Cousins, here’s a guy who was an average ball striker when we hooked up. When I got him swinging the club pretty efficiently, he told me his best score was 93 or something like that. So I played with him and taught him how to play golf, not golf swing. Gave him a strategy to take to the golf course focusing solely on scoring. Five weeks later he shot 78 with me and broke 80 for the first time, then a couple weeks later he won the Highland Golf Course ‘B’ Flight Championship with rounds of 75 and 77. In fact he finished third overall and only weeks earlier he couldn’t break 90. Matt became a much more confident individual because of these accomplishments on the course.

you get and how it helps you with the other aspects of your life. I know that I have personally experienced this and I know there are many others of you out there who have as well. Hey just ask any golfer out there if this is true, they’ll tell you. John Ryan, CGTF Level Three Instructor, teaches exclusively at the Tincap Golf Course.

healthy was absolutely amazing, I have never seen anybody fire their approach shots at the flags like he did that day. If not for his balky putter, he could have shot a really low round. ALS took Jimmy away from us way too early. I could go on and on about the effects good golf has on our self confidence and self esteem but if you are a golfer you know exactly what I am talking about here.

EMC Sports - If you’re a golfer out there you know exactly what I’m talking about here. And if you live with, work with or are friends with a golfer who just played a good round of golf you too can identify with this as well. Hey, if you do anything well, there’s no doubt you’ll have that extra spring in your step. Golf is an individual sport where you don’t have a teammate to bail you out or to hold you back, it’s all on you baby, you are accountable for your own performance. Whether you won a tournament, broke a personal scoring barrier, or hit the ball pretty well, you are bound to feel good about what you just accomplished. Golf is a tough game as it is, so to play good golf you have to be pretty good at all the physical facets of the game not to mention the mental side of the game as well. Personally for me, I hit rock bottom earlier this season where the game wasn’t fun anymore and my scores and attitude reflected as much. I could give up or work my way out of it, I am not a quitter, so that wasn’t an option. In late July I finally got my game somewhat back to where it was respectable for me. I know first hand when you play good golf it definitely affects the other aspects of your life. I am not the only one out there that displays this air of success and accomplishment, I’ve seen it first hand with quite a few of the golfers I’ve worked with over the years. I am going to share with you where these golfers came from being average at best to becoming elite players with my help. Garry Dunn, a good friend of mine and my club maker of choice, is a very accomplished player in his own right. Garry also hit rock bottom with his game in mid August. I’ve tried to get him to complete his backswing, rotate his upper body a little more, for over 10 years or so. We played together on the Labour Day weekend and he told me he’s trying to do what I’ve been trying to get him to do for years. Well right from his very first tee shot I couldn’t believe my eyes, not only is Garry finally hitting the ball

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

There are many benefits to owning one’s own home EMC Business - There are certainly circumstances when renting a home makes sense, but for many Canadians, homeownership is the more fulfilling and financially-savvy choice. According to a recent survey commissioned by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), more than 70 per cent of renters

in Ontario reported they would like to buy a home in the future. The dream of homeownership is clearly alive and well and for many reasons buying a home is still the best investment you can make, according to Ron Abraham president of OREA. “For one, a home is a terrific forced savings plan.

Each mortgage payment buys you a larger portion of an appreciating investment and, when you’ve paid off the mortgage, you fully own a sizeable asset,” says Abraham. “Furthermore, the freedom and security of one day owning a home outright is enough incentive for most people to work hard and find a way

withdraw a maximum of $25,000 tax free from their RRSPs to purchase or build a house. Other government incentives include the Home Buyer Tax Credit (HBTC), Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) mortgage loan insurance and the Ontario government’s Land Transfer Tax rebate. “With these home buying incentives, today’s low interest rates and a wide variety of homeownership options available, buying a home is more attractive than ever,” says Abraham.

“But the best part of buying a home is that along the way, you and your family have enjoyed many years of shelter, security and the shared joys only your home can provide. And let’s not forget the pride and sense of accomplishment that comes with being able to renovate and update your home to make it truly your own. Supporting new buyers in getting the home they want is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.” More information about the benefits of homeownership is available at www. howrealtorshelp.ca.

to save a down payment for a first home.” Once the mortgage is paid off, the only expenses remaining are taxes, maintenance and utilities which a retirement income can easily cover. Ideally, most homeowners who have paid off their mortgage have money left over each month to use for travel and other hobbies. There are several government programs available to help first time buyers purchase a home including the Government of Canada’s Home Buyers’ Plan which allows qualified buyers to

Expect housing starts to moderate through 2013, CMHC says Urban starts decreased by 9.8 per cent in Québec. Rural starts2 were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 19,000 units in August.

ca/housingmarketinformation. 1 All starts figures in this release, other than actual starts and the trend estimate, are seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) — that is, monthly figures adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels. By removing seasonal ups and downs, seasonal adjustment allows for a comparison from one season to the next and from one month to the next. Reporting monthly figures at annual rates indicates the annual level of starts that would be obtained if the monthly pace was maintained for 12 months. This facilitates comparison of the current pace of activity to annual forecasts as well as to historical annual levels.

activity is still expected for the remainder of 2012 and 2013.” For some markets, CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased by 10.2 per cent to 205,900 units in August. Urban single starts remained relatively unchanged in August at 64,300 units, while multiple urban starts increased by 15.5 per cent to 141,600 units.

EMC Business - Housing starts in Canada were trending at 222,900 units in August, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)1 of housing starts. The standalone monthly SAAR was 224,900 units in August, up from 208,000 in July. “The increase in housing starts in August was the result of a few, large, multiunit projects in the Greater Toronto area. This increase is primarily a reflection of the high level of pre-sales in some of these large multi-unit projects in late 2010 and early 2011, which is in line with job gains at that time,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre. “The higher level of starts recorded in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia in August reflect low levels of activity in July rather than an increasing trend that was registered in August.

Grenville County Historical Society unveils plaque honouring Iroquoian village unearthed 25 years ago near Maynard EMC News - Half a millennia ago a sizable St. Lawrence Iroquoian village existed in a current day cornfield near Maynard and beside Chippenhook Creek, a tributary of the South Nation River. The remains of more than 23 longhouses surrounded by palisades and a defensive ditch were unearthed in a 1987 archeological excavation. Dr. James Pendergast was instrumental in the creation of the archeological dig. Dr. James V. Wright worked with him, establishing the perimeter of the village, setting up a grid system and together with a team of enthusiastic volunteers identified artifacts and animal bones. His wife Dawn Wright, also an experienced archaeologist, was Assistant Site Director and Field Director. One of the most significant finds coming out of the careful sifting of the excavated soil done, at Dawn Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence, over a two-year period following the closing of the site was the exciting discovery of an iron awl. That find, to date, is the earliest evidence of contact between Europeans and St.

Research Office of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, spoke the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ohenten Kariwatekwaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Words That Come Before All Elseâ&#x20AC;? to give greetings and thanks for this

gathering and to the cycle of life that sustains us all. As he spoke the powerful words, a fleeting vision arose of what the 16th century Iroquoian village and the daily activity and life within it might have been like. Skip Ross, an Algonquin elder (also known as the Grandfather of the North) from PikwĂ kanagĂ n brought the message that we are all the stewards and keepers of the land. He noted that the erection of the plaque by the Grenville County Historical Society is a wonderful thing to remind us of our shared legacy and responsibilities. Gini Leonard, President, Grenville County Historical Society, welcomed everyone and spoke of the role and mandate of the society. The GCHS is a volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, collection, exhibition and publishing of material pertinent to Grenville County. One of the mandates of the society is to search out and plaque sites of historical significance. See SITE page 26

PLAQUE From page 25

Saturday’s event is for the unveiling of a plaque which the society has erected at the location of an archaeological dig completed 25 years ago. It is known as the MaynardMcKeown site and was inhabited in the early 1500s by a people known as the St. Lawrence Iroquois. She thanked Ron Shannon for his dedicated work in implementing this event. A number of prominent leaders and distinguished guests brought greetings of their own. Steve Clark, MPP, Leeds and Grenville, congratulated the society for marking this historical site. John Hunter, Deputy Mayor, Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, highlighted the further involvement of the First Nations people over the intervening years specifically acknowledging the contribution during the War of 1812 and the making of Canada. Mel Campbell, Reeve Augusta Township and Warden United Counties of Leeds and Grenville noted that the event was a significant chapter in the history of the area. Anne Wallner, daughter of Dr. James Pendergast, commented that she was very moved by the recognition of the archeological work her father had done at that site. She felt that in preserving the evidence of existence of the Iroquoian village we stand on the shoulders of our elders. Dr. Joyce Wright, daugh-

First Nations representative Chris Craig displays an eagle feather following the ceremony. ter of Dr. James V and Dawn Wright, said that thanks to the society, the information gleaned from this archeological work, usually the preserve of academics, has been made readily available to everyone. Work’s significance Dawn Wright in her address reiterated the significance and

value of the archeological work done and the quality of the ‘finds’. During the period of the dig approximately 6,000 square metres was excavated. This area represented about one quarter of the village site of 1.6 hectares (four acres). Of the many people who worked on the dig, a num-

ber have gone on to achieve BA’s, MA’s and PhD’s in the field. At the end of the work, when the site was closed and returned to agriculture, there were expressions of regret that some permanent record of the village had not been left for posterity. There was a feeling of hope expressed at that time that there would eventually be an Ontario Archaeological and Historic Site Board marker erected near the site. The erection of the plaque by the Grenville County Historical Society was therefore wellreceived. Following Dawn Wright’s address Augusta Township Reeve Mel Campbell assisted by Ron Shannon unveiled the plaque. Rev. Kathy Petrie then delivered a moving dedication of the plaque in keeping with the words that had been spoken earlier by the First Nations representatives followed by a Benediction. Algonquin Elder, Skip Ross, gave some closing words. His remarks were followed by a Smudge Ceremony which in the culture of the First Nations is held to purify the soul. As the scent of burning white sage permeated the air, the gathered assembly was invited to participate and direct the smoke towards their eyes to clear them for what they see, towards the mouth for what they speak, towards the ears for what they hear and towards the heart for what we know and believe. It was a fitting end to the day’s events.

EMC News - It’s hard to think of Gananoque in the summertime without conjuring up an image of those helpful young people in the blue tee-shirts and yellow ball caps who always seem to be right there when you need them. Known as the YIPIs, these members of the Youth in Policing Initiative are polite, eager to please and well-informed about many things to do with the Town. And they can be found performing all kinds of useful services, from helping out at major public events to working with local businesses and organizations needing a hand, as well as attending training programs and seminars. Although relatively new, the YIPIs are extremely popular. The Gananoque police received 40 applications for the eight available positions, and had a tough time whittling them down. In the end, they chose young people from all kinds of backgrounds, giving them the opportunities to not only earn $400 a week throughout the summer, but to also learn skills they had never dreamed of acquiring. Initiated by Chief Kai Liu, the program is spreading rapidly throughout the region, with groups found in Belleville, Toronto and Kingston, and more springing up. “It’s surprising what the

Dredd wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my first choice this weekend, but due to circumstance and time constraints it was the movie I found myself watching. Dredd is a dark, ultra violent film with a minimum of dialogue. In other words it was exactly what Dredd should be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tight story with intense action, and it stays true to the original comic book. The thing is, as good as Dredd is, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything special. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk away feeling this was a mustsee film. For me Dredd would be a great movie to find on TV when you are bored and looking for mindless entertainment. Dredd is not a complicated character by any stretch. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not an emotionally taxing character to play. Nonetheless Karl Urban is awesome as the main character. He has the gravelly voice, the constant sense of righteous anger, and he never takes off the helmet. He is perfect. Olivia Thirlby balances Urban really well, and manages to kick some butt of her own. Lena Headey is fantastic. Ma Ma is an absolutely vile human being â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a truly despicable piece of trash with no regard for human life. Headey doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate or hold back, but throws herself completely into the role to create a great movie villain. For what it is, Dredd is a good movie. If you find yourself flipping through the channels, and it happens to be on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely worth watching. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature of the EMC.

War of 1812 commemoration in Prescott gets federal support EMC News - An investment by the Government of Canada will help people in Prescott commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. Support for the Prescott Bicentennial Committee was announced Sept. 18 by Gord Brown, Member of Parliament (Leeds-Grenville), on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. The government has provided funding in the amount of $31,800 through Canadian Heritage’s 1812 Commemoration Fund. Funding will go towards a re-enactment of a British raid against an American post at Ogdensburg during the War of 1812. The raid’s success removed the American threat on this portion of the St. Lawrence River, which had impeded river traffic between Prescott and Montreal. It opened up a strategic supply route to Montreal and kept it open for the dura-

on Ogdensburg, New York, in February 2013,” said Suzanne Dodge, Chair of the Prescott Bicentennial Committee. “We would like to thank the Government of Canada and our MP Gord Brown for their continued commitment to cultural heritage in Prescott - the Heritage Fort Town on the St. Lawrence River.” The commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the British raid against the American post at Ogdensburg will be held at Fort Wellington with the participation of 60 re-enactors. The event will also include a series of lectures and discussions related to Prescott, Fort Wellington, and Ogdensburg during the War of 1812, as well as the creation of a large mural on the side of a local building in downtown Prescott. These activities will provide people in the Prescott region with the opportunity to learn about the community’s involvement in the War of 1812, while promoting tourism and leaving a lasting legacy of this historical moment in our nation’s history.

I Ran Gan – anywhere a hand was needed. Each activity, large or small, trained them to become better summer ambassadors for Gananoque, and to be able to interact with visitors and residents alike in a more confident and informed fashion. They also participated in some of the large events held over the summer, including helping out at the official opening of the Joel Stone Heritage Park, Remember the Raid, the Big Bass Challenge, and the Pirate Festival. “I got to see some of the shows they played on the stage,” said Emma Cain. “They had really good bands playing, a Pirate Costume Contest, puppet shows and more. I also got a chance to get a Beaver Tail and a picture with Jack Sparrow.” Some of their activities were more structured and educational, such as the tour of the Kingston Police Station, assisting with the Victim Services Charity Paintball, participating in the Ripple Effect Seminar in Ajax, and getting their Flat Water (Kayak) Certification.

MPP Steve Clark congratulates Tyler Martin as he graduates from Gananoque’s YIPI program. And if this wasn’t enough to keep them occupied, they managed to find time to run a Bike Rodeo, help in the clean up and beautification of Gananoque, assist in serving lunches at the Legion and helped Donny at the station clean the police cruisers. It was with mixed feelings that Gananoque’s eight YIPIs for 2012 graduated on Aug. 23, witnessed by their two counterparts from Kingston and a room full of parents,

friends, supporters and dignitaries. They had learned so much – not only skills and job activities, but about themselves. Each came away better ready to take on the real world, more mature, more poised, more socially adjusted and more confident. They decided that the pros of the program had been participating in the many events, road trips to visit other police stations and YIPIs, the chance to meet all kinds of new

people, learning how to raise money for charity, improving their social skills and abilities, and meeting and making friends with all kinds of new people. However, they would have preferred better communication with the event coordinators and more respect from the local community. “It was hard to hear somebody say, ‘Oh, there goes one of those YIPIs – what a waste – all they ever do is walk around town all day,” said Hayley Miller. “If they could only see what we really do, and how much, maybe they’d think differently.” They would like future programs to include Ride Alongs with the police so they could learn more about policing and its place in the community, hold all their meetings in the boardroom during the summer, have an officer who could be with them throughout the program to help them learn, different shifts so they could cover more of the day and not have everyone working at the same time as each other, and to be judged on their own merits without comparisons to former participants. But no one in attendance had anything but praise for

he was pleased with what he saw and fully supports the program. But the highest praise came from Police Chief Kia Liu saying that it “takes a village to raise a child” and Gananoque was their village. He was very proud of these young people and saw bright futures ahead of them. As time, funding and the future permit, perhaps this will turn into a year round program benefitting communities and young people throughout south-eastern Ontario.

On average five Canadians die from fire a week. Maintain your smoke alarms, talk with your family, plan your routes and practice them often! If your Smoke Alarms are in excess of ten years of age, it is recommended that you replace them. Nothing lasts forever.

Legion Branch 92 in Gananoque awards three life memberships By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - Branch 92 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Gananoque held its annual Awards Night on Sept. 11. In addition to the many service pins handed out to members, three were presented with the top award given by the Legion – Life Membership. First among these was Ken Stewart, perhaps best known for running the Gananoque Loan Cupboard. Although he was unable to attend the ceremonies, he remained first on the platform. During his time with the Legion, he has collected over a quarter of a million dollars worth of medical equipment which is made available at no cost to local residents. He is also known in the community as an avid volunteer, driving for the Seniors for Assisted Independent Living, assisting with the collection of scrap metal which is sold to assist the Food Bank and the Legion Building, working on the Shore Breakfast and the Music Festival, and is very active in the Knights of Columbus. “He joined Legion in February of 2000,” said Cliff Weir, Legion President. “Four years later elected as President 2004-2005, then for six years served on the Branch executive in various positions including Poppy Chairman, Bursary Committee, Membership Chairman, and Leadership and Planning.

For his tireless efforts, Bill Beswetherick has received a lifetime membership to Branch 92 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Gananoque. He was honoured, along with two other long-time members on Sept. 11. “Ken knows everyone in Gananoque. As a result we relied on his knowledge of people in the community. For over six years, he was on the committee that selected the Honouree of the Year which was announced at each year’s

New Year’s Levee. Ken ensured that people who do great work in the community were recognized.” Next to be honoured was Carl Duff. Having served over 22 years in the Canadian Forces as a Master War-

rant Officer before becoming a civil servant, he joined the Royal Canadian Legion in 1972 and Branch 92 in 2003. “In 2012 he will have been a member of the Legion for 40 years,” said Weir. “He has been most active in Branch 92 and has served in the following positions of responsibility: Elected Vice President 2007-2008, elected as Second Vice President for 2008/9, 2009/ 10, 2010/11, and 2011/12. He spent two years as Youth Chairman and chaired the Bursary Committee 2008/09 and 2009/10. During this time Carl was able to increase, significantly, the number of students who participated in the poster/essay/poetry contests as well as the speaking contests through his close co-operation with our local schools. He was also Branch 92 Sergeant at Arms for the years 2005-2008 which included International Goodwill Parades and has been a long-time member of Colour Party before and after serving as Sergeant at Arms. In addition he was Zone G-2 Sergeant at Arms for the years 2009/2011.” Duff also personally worked on the major renovations which were made to the main dining/conference room in 2009, and is always one of the first to volunteer for any activity such as serving at veterans and cadet dinners

or wherever else he feels he may be needed. He has also worked to improve and maintain the graves and markers of World Wars I and II veterans in one of the local cemeteries. “For the past 18 months Carl and his wife have worked diligently on the Sunday Brunches which have made a major contribution to our Building Fund,” said Weir. “Carl vol-

unteers to work on establishing the Gananoque Legion Park each spring and assists in maintaining it throughout the year. He has chaired two difficult Complaints Committees and for at least the past ten years, Carl has been an active participant in the annual Poppy Campaign and in our See AWARDS page 34

Remembrance Day activities, as well as being a member of the Bar Stock Check team for the past five years.â&#x20AC;? Good deeds Last but not least of the lifetime membership recipients was Bill Beswetherick. Perhaps the hardest to surprise due to his constant presence and position as Branch 92 Secretary and Public Relations Officer, his qualifications read like a scrapbook of good deeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comrade Bill Beswetherick was born 30 September 1940 in Kirkland Lake Ontario,â&#x20AC;? read Murray Salter, Poppy Chairman for the Legion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He joined the Royal Canadian Army on 15 September, 1961, and was released 18 April, 1995, with the rank of Major. Bill served in Germany, Netherlands, Israel / Lebanon and El Salvador. Comrade Bill joined the Royal Canadian legion Branch 92, Gananoque on 11 September, 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comrade Bill has concurrently held the positions of Poppy Chairman, Public Relations Officer and Secretary Treasurer. He is currently Branch 92 Secretary and Public Relations Officer as well as assistant Poppy Chairman.â&#x20AC;? The Legion lists some

of Beswetherickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments as being: 1. Due to his personal involvement and knowledge in the Military grievance system, he has been able to

assist and represent former members of the Canadian Forces in their appeals to DND. 2. As Poppy Chairman, Bill raised $11,500 enabling the Branch to help needy veterans and granting bursaries to deserving students. 3. Co-author of the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gananoque Remembersâ&#x20AC;?, a book about fallen soldiers from Gananoque during the first and second world wars. He was able to secure grants totalling

$5,700 from Veterans Affairs and the Gananoque Granting Committee. He in turn raised $9,000 on his own. Of the 750 copies published of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gananoque Remembersâ&#x20AC;?, 125 copies were given free to companies and organizations that purchased wreaths for Remembrance Day. More copies were also given to schools, libraries and next of kin of those listed on the Cenotaph in Gananoque. A copy of the book is also displayed in the Branch. 4. As a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Year of the Veteransâ&#x20AC;? project he was successful in having the town approve and finance a large (24â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;) banner to commemorate this event. It was displayed across the main street and will be displayed for future Remembrance Days. 5. Beswetherick submitted a request to the Gananoque Granting Committee for a $2500 grant for the Juno Beach Memorial. The grant was approved. 6. In April 2005 Comrade Bill submitted a request to the Gananoque Granting Committee for a grant to refurbish the town Cenotaph which was approved. The total cost of refurbishing the Cenotaph was $10,000 of which the Branch donated $500. A rededication of the Cenotaph took place on 14 August 2005. Approximately 200 citizens and 50 veterans were in attendance. 7. As a member of the committee responsible for the yearly Veterans dinners, he organized a display of military artefacts for all to enjoy. 8. Beswetherick organized a bus trip to the National War Museum and

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, much to the delight of the 38 Veterans who attended. . 9. He is currently researching a book which will be titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letters from the Frontâ&#x20AC;? and will contain letters sent home by men and women who served in both WWI and WWII. Publication is anticipated in 2012. Recently this year Beswetherick was recognized for his contributions to the Veterans Community and was awarded the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation. This award is given to individuals who have contributed in an exemplary manner to the care and well being of Veterans or to the remembrance of the contributions, sacrifices and achievements of Veterans.â&#x20AC;? If this werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, he is also known as an avid military historian who frequently travels to Ottawa, at his own expense, to research details for descendants of WWI participants. In civilian life, he worked as an assistant editor for the Kingston Whig Standard and contributes written military articles regularly to various magazines and newspapers. He is responsible for organizing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;57th Annual Goodwill Dayâ&#x20AC;? and arranging for Private Harry Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victoria Cross to be displayed. Brown, from Gananoque, died shortly after delivering an urgent message during WWI. In addition, Beswetherick arranged for one of the most comprehensive collections of Military artifacts available to be on display for the event.

EMC Events - Breastfeeding mothers and babies are invited to participate in the Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge on Saturday, Sept. 29. The event will be held at the Brockville OEYC, 166 Pearl Street E., Brockville, beginning at 10 a.m. In addition to raising awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding, participants can find out about local breastfeeding and Health Unit resources, win door prizes, enjoy refreshments, and have their questions answered by an accredited La Leche League Canada breastfeeding support Leader. During the event, the OEYC will have Play & Learn and StoryTime available for families. After the event, all are welcome to join the LLLC Brockville Group picnic, 11:30-12:30 p.m. At 11 a.m. on Sept. 29, mothers and babies at sites across Canada and around the world will gather to celebrate breastfeeding as part of World Breastfeeding Week in Canada. The Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge began in 2001 in British Columbia Canada with 856 children at 26 sites. By 2010, there were 4,373 children in 18 countries at over 213 sites with a total of over 20,000 supporters. World Breastfeeding Week in Canada is celebrated Oct. 1-7 every year. The global theme, as set by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding the Past Planning the Future: Celebrating 10 years of WHO / UNICEFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding.â&#x20AC;?

MINNIE DORIS RUPERT From Prescott passed away on August 11, 2012 at Brockville General Hospital with her family by her side after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born at home in Pleasant Valley, Matilda Township on October 11, 1928, the fourth child of James Arthur Cowan and Elsie May Wallace. She attended public school in Pleasant Valley and ďŹ rst form of high school in South Mountain. She had a lively personality and liked to sing and entertain her siblings as a child. Her ďŹ rst job away from home was at the age of 14. Doris worked at the Hyndman Cheese Factory as a clerk and was very good with ďŹ gures. She also helped with the children and household chores. At 19 she moved to Prescott with her sister Muriel where they sought employment at Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glove Factory. Doris worked there several years until she married Clare Allan Rupert on June 19, 1954. They ďŹ rst lived on the second concession where they had their 5 children and worked a small hobby farm. She liked to farm and garden and encouraged her children to become involved in the agricultural life. They later moved to sixth concession where they attained more land for their hobby farm and a larger home for Allanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother to live with them. Allan and Doris pursued their love of farming and gardening together, with Doris taking the lead role in the livestock planning. She also spent many hours caring for her ďŹ&#x201A;ower gardens, having a natural ability to make plants thrive. Doris was a fabulous cook and liked to bake, especially at Christmas time for her family. Doris and Dean moved to Prescott after the death of Allan, and she became more involved at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian in Prescott, where she was a member of the choir. Doris obtained her driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; license for the ďŹ rst time at age 72. She enjoyed her 8 grandchildren Eric, Keith, Katie, Joshua, Jessica, Rebecca, Aaron and Isaac and great grandchildren Claire and Elisha. Doris liked to help out with babysitting when she could and was very proud of her grandchildren. Her health started to fail in the last couple years after ďŹ ghting fatigue and diabetes most of her life. She moved to MayďŹ eld last year while recovering from various surgeries. Her good friend Ervine MacMillan also resided there. Ervine had been her constant companion for the last 14 years. Doris always had a sharp memory for dates, recalling easily the births, marriages and deaths of all family members. She contributed a lot of data to the family trees. Doris Rupert is survived by her children Brian (Karina Lebrun) Rupert, Judy (Robin) Fowler, David (Cindy) Rupert, Marilyn (Alan) Scott, and Dean Rupert, and by grandchildren Eric (Danielle), Keith (Jessica), Katie, Joshua, Jessica, Rebecca, Aaron and Isaac and by great grandchildren Claire and Elisha. She is also survived by sisters Muriel Moulton, Yvonne Cowan, and Eileen (Ted) Hunter, and by sisters-in-law Jennie Rupert, Marie Cowan, Lurlene Bobics, and Elaine Cowan. Predeceased by husband Clare Allan Rupert, parents James and Elsie Cowan, brothers Sam, Keith and Orval Cowan, and sister Golda (John) Beckstead, and by brother-in-law John Rupert. Friends and family attended visitation at the Mackay Funeral Home in Prescott on August 15, 2012 and the funeral was held on August 16, 2012 with interment at Roselawn Memorial Gardens. Reverend Ian MacLean performed the service and solos were performed by Peter Morrow and Marie and Evan Cowan. Donations were made to the St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church, the Cancer Society, and the Diabetes Association. The family would like to gratefully acknowledge all those who sent ďŹ&#x201A;owers, extended their condolences, and gave charitable donations at this time of loss.

Developmental Services Select Committee gets all-party support Leeds-Grenville MPP calls it good news for local families

The following is the Hansard transcript of MPP Clark’s comments during debate on the resolution: Mr. Steve Clark: It’s a pleasure to speak in support of the motion from my colleague the member for Whitby-Oshawa. I also want to extend my deepest condolences to the Harrison family. I thank you very much for being here and sharing in our debate, as well as the people in the gallery and also the thousands – millions – who are watching at home. This is a debate that’s being watched by many in the developmental sector in my riding of Leeds-Grenville. I can say that the overwhelming response from those in that sector in my riding, when I told them about this resolution, was, “It’s about time,” and I agree with them. I think it’s time that we start listening to the pleas of the clients, the families and the staff who have incredible challenges trying to manage these essential services with compassion. I believe the select committee is the best way to handle it. I think a lot of good can come out of that process. I’m glad the member for Oakville talked about the mental health and addictions select committee. I know that when people come into my constituency office and I show them the 23 recommendations that that committee had, people say, “That’s the solution we’re looking for.” So I appreciate the work that others, including the member from Whitby-Oshawa, did on that committee. I’m disap-

pointed that the government hasn’t moved forward on the recommendations, but I know that the road map is there, and I think we need it for the developmental services sector. We need this committee to begin the very hard work of developing a comprehensive strategy to address the critical stresses on the agencies and families that are working, in my opinion, on an unimaginable burden. I spoke to many of the families, the agency staffers, and I hear the desperation in their voices. I met with the Legacy families from my own Brockville and District Association for Community Involvement. I listened to the fear that they have for the future. These are parents who made decisions to care for their children through to adulthood. They are now in their 70s and 80s. Their children are in their 40s and 50s. They don’t know what’s going to happen to them when they are no longer able to look after them. Speaker, it’s heartbreaking. I hear the same frustration when I talk to the three executive directors of my Community Living associations: Michael Humes in Brockville, Ted Shuh in North Grenville and Colleen Kelly-Jansen in Gananoque. In closing, Speaker, I think, speaking to those three, they applaud this resolution because it’s the start of a process that they’ve been desperately trying to get moving. I’m proud today to stand up for those families, those individuals and those workers, to give them a voice and to help voice their frustration. I’m hoping that my colleague’s motion is passed and that there is some political will here in the Legislative Assembly to get on with it. Establish this committee and let’s look at some solutions.

EMC News - Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark applauded the all-party support for a resolution to create a Select Committee on Developmental Services. Clark spoke during debate on the resolution, introduced by his Ontario PC Caucus colleague MPP Christine Elliott (Whitby-Oshawa), in the Ontario Legislature on Thursday, Sept. 20. “This is an important day for the families, clients and workers in the developmental services sector in Leeds-Grenville,” said Clark. “I’ve met with many of these families and agency staff and it’s long overdue that we begin this work to develop a comprehensive plan to improve services for those diagnosed with an intellectual disability.” In the House, Clark noted the debate was being watched very closely by those in the developmental services sector in Leeds-Grenville. “I think it’s time that we start listening to the pleas of the clients, the families and the staff who have incredible challenges trying to manage these essential services with compassion.” According to a press release, the Select Committee will focus on the needs of children, youth and adults with an intellectual disability and co-ordinate the delivery of developmental programs and services across provincial ministries, taking into consideration educational needs, workplace opportunities, housing needs and social, recreational and inclusionary opportunities. Clark noted Ontario currently has no long-term plan to deliver these critical services to the hundreds of thousands of Ontarians with an intellectual disability or dually diagnosed with an intellectual disability

Caring and Sharing to the tune of $33,200 for Brockville Cardiovascular Program Golf Club, the Brockville and District Civitan Club, the Brockville Lions, and the Kinsmen Club of Brockville. The BCP is the primary recipient of the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support, with the remaining 20 per cent split among four charitable initiatives chosen by the three service clubs: Brockville and Area Special Olympics (Civitan), Operation Harvest Sharing and Cystic Fibrosis (Kinsmen), and

EMC News - The Brockville and District Hospital Foundation recently received a cheque for $33,200.00 on behalf of the Brockville Cardiovascular Program (BCP) at Brockville General Hospital. The cheque represents 80 per cent of the more than $41,000 raised by the successful second annual Community Care and Share Golf Tournament held on Aug. 24 hosted by the Brockville Highland

the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vision Program. Cathy Thomas of the Brockville Highland Golf was thrilled at the support and turnout for the tournament this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see more people coming on board each year for this wonderful and unfunded cause,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BCP receives no government funding, and supplies a vital service to our community.â&#x20AC;? Tournament Commit-

tee Chair Adrian Geraghty agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BCP gives support to people recovering from heart surgery or episodes, guiding them into healthy post-surgery lives. Having such a resource in our own community means the families also benefit with little loss of time or money from having to make long drives for follow-up sessions with their loved ones.â&#x20AC;?

EMC Entertainment - Grammy and Juno Award-winning Natalie MacMaster will be bringing her fall tour to the Brockville Arts Centre on Thursday, Nov. 15. She her husband Donnell Leahy have joyfully welcomed baby boy Alec Francis Leahy, to their vibrant musical family on Saturday, August 11, 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited to have this little boy in our lives,â&#x20AC;? says Natalie MacMaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your first child or your fifth, motherhood is a magically wonderful gift I will always be grateful for.â&#x20AC;? This busy mother averages 100 performances every year while successfully maintaining a balance between her work and home life. Natalie deems family, tradition, home and faith as crucial values in her day-to-day life on the Ontario farm she shares with her husband and their five children. Promptly getting back to business on Oct. 4, 2012, Natalie is kicking off an extensive North American tour featuring her traditional Cape Breton fiddling style, classic foot-stomping jigs as well new favourites from her latest album Cape Breton Girl. Natalie, a true Canadian icon and ambassador for the Cape Breton way of life, was recognized for her achievements with the Order of Canada in 2006, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest civilian award. In February 2012, Natalie was the inaugural recipient of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee Medal, joining the ranks of fellow recipients Gordon Lightfoot, David Cronenburg and Peter Mansbridge. Her dedication and unparalleled talent has led to outstanding career accomplishments including a Grammy Award and two additional nominations, a Juno Award, eight Canadian Country Music Awards, multiple gold albums and 10 East Coast Music Awards. Her three-decade career has armed Natalie with a lifetime of stories and experiences; in 2010 Natalie co-wrote and published a coffee table book Natalie MacMasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cape Breton Aire with Pulitzer Prize-winning Eileen McNamara, featuring Eric Rothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breathtaking photography. The book explores the musical history and journey of her beloved Cape Breton, taking a deeper look at its landscape and people. With sought-after talent and a Cape Breton fiddling style like no other, Natalie has collaborated on and contributed to albums by music industry legends like Yo-Yo Ma, The Chieftains, Raffi, BĂ¨la Fleck, Alison Krauss, Hayley Westenra, Thomas Dolby and more.

They also need equipment to perform their duties, a trailer to haul it from place to place (whether for deployment or demonstrations), and above all else, proper insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insurance is an essential component of our operational needs,â&#x20AC;? explains Gill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not as visible a piece of equipment, such as the donation of uniform pants from Leeds and Grenville EMS or the necessary equipment the team needs to work with, but it is just as important to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational readiness.â&#x20AC;?

By LORRAINE PAYETTE EMC News - August was a great month for Thousand Islands Ground Search and Rescue (TIGSAR), and they want to be sure to thank everyone for the wonderful donations they received from the Athens Cornfest and Ultimate Air Dogs Canada. All kinds of images spring to mind when the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;ground search and rescueâ&#x20AC;? are mentioned. Senior citizens might wander away from care facilities and become hopelessly lost, needing a team with dogs to help find them. Children could do the same. People out hiking could have accidents, all sorts of vehicular and other emergencies can occur where the best assistance comes from search and rescue. We automatically expect them to be highly paid professionals, provided by taxpayer dollars. However, these groups of dedicated helpers are made up of volunteers in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thousand Islands Ground Search and Rescue (TIGSAR) is a not-for-profit organization and registered charitable organization,â&#x20AC;? says team leader Kevin Gill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The SAR team operates under the Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association (OSARVA), which is the governing body for volunteer search and rescue teams within the province of Ontario.â&#x20AC;? Over the year they participate in and are recipients of different fundraising efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In April we were at the Pet Wellness Fair in Brockville and the Earth Day Small Business Showcase in Lansdowne,â&#x20AC;? says Gill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In July we were at Fox Run by the River Retirement Residence for their fun a Dog Show event. In August we were at the Athens Cornfest where Reg Smith, owner of Ace Hardware, donated not just one but two barbecues for a draw. We were able to sell tickets and all the proceeds from the tickets sales went to the team. These
