Youngster’s Garbage Day initiative helps tidy up Gananoque

FEATURE

By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - Listen up, Gananoque, there’s a new marshal in town, Brodie Leroy Cote, and he’s here to clean up the streets. Literally. And while he’s at it, he wants to make sure you clean up your act, too. “I think this is great,� said Sandra Wright of Executive Secretarial Services. “Brodie has to be commended for this. This is wonderful. I can’t believe it, and I had to come out and help.�

At the age of ten, most youngsters are busy sleeping on a Saturday morning, or watching cartoons or playing video games or whatever. They are not out trying to make their town a better place by getting rid of the garbage, one piece at a time. “I think this is a great initiative, that Brodie has brought people together in a common cause to clean up the community,� said MPP Steve Clark, Leeds-Grenville. “We should be encouraging our young people to get involved in community events and I really want to congratulate Brodie on his project today.�

Brodie was quite surprised that the political forces had come out to support his event.

He really had not been expecting them. “I came out because I think it’s great that young people would take the initiative to organize something like this, to try to get

people to come out and clean up our community,� said Gananoque mayor Erika Demchuk. “That’s most definitely what we want, for our community to be beautiful and garbage free.

We try to encourage all of our citizens to make sure that that happens. Looking after your own property, just picking up any little thing helps to make things better for everyone. For a 10 year-old boy to try and organize this is absolutely fantastic. He’s certainly the wave of the future for our young people.� “This is a great initiative by Brodie,� added Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown. “Often we, as politicians, hear from people who want us to provide all the answers and all the solutions, but as they say, if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. So here we are today picking up garbage, doing our part to be that solution. The Town of Gananoque is pretty clean, so it will be a hunt to find some garbage, since the mayor and the council and the Board of Works crew do a great job of looking after things, but Brodie is making sure to take care of anything they might have missed.�

And not only the politicians are impressed with Brodie. He found sponsors for his event at Sweet 101, Canadian Tire, See GARBAGE page 3

Lifestyle - The role of Hamlet is like the Ironman. The role tests an actor like the race tests an athlete, and to take on either task, let alone to perform well, is a tremendous achievement.

Over the last several months, actor Eric Craig has been preparing—training, if you will—to play the Prince of Denmark in the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival’s first-ever production of Hamlet. “It’s very humbling,� says Craig. “It’s an amazing opportunity, for sure.�

Born and raised in Perth, Craig graduated from the music theatre program at the University of Windsor a decade ago and has spent most of his career since in Toronto, so when he takes the stage in Prescott this summer, it will feel a bit

Actor Eric Craig practices his swordsmanship while preparing for the demanding title role in the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival’s production of Hamlet. like a homecoming. “It’s neat to come home and do something like Hamlet,� he says.

In his younger years, the former St. John Catholic High School student was a fixture in local community theatre.

On stages in and around Perth is where Craig began learning the craft which would eventually provide him both a living and great deal of personal satisfaction. “Perth is pretty good for theatre,� he says. “There’s a lot going on for young people.�

Since leaving Windsor and setting up shop in Toronto, Craig has performed in a slew of theatre productions, both large and small—including Beauty and the Beast, Waiting for Godot and Little Shop of Horrors. And when he’s not on stage, he’s in front of the camera, performing in television shows such as Flashpoint, or in commercials for, among others, Best Buy, Rickard’s and Mazda.

Though his 30-second spot in a recent Best Buy commercial probably earned him more money than he will make all summer in Prescott, directing some lastsecond shoppers to the perfect Christmas present in aisle three will not compare to the thrill of tackling the theatre’s most daunting – and rewarding – role. “It’s so iconic,� he says. “The ideas you get to speak on stage are so beautifully profound.�

Hamlet’s reputation as first among theatrical roles is well-deserved, for it takes an actor of considerable substance and sensibility to do justice to the complexity and eloquence of the words the character speaks. More than that, the part is huge. The words may be beautiful and iconic, but there are a plenty of them, too. “You get to be part of the telling of so much of the story,� says Craig.

It seems as if every line Hamlet speaks is thick with meaning, not only in the weight imparted to the words

by Shakespeare himself but also in the precedent set by the many illustrious actors who have played the role before – from Laurence Olivier to John Gielgud to Kenneth Brannagh.

Speaker shares experiences with her ‘changing brain’ at Alzheimer Society AGM EMC News – The Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville held its 25th annual general meeting on Thursday, June 13 at the Brockville Country Club.

The continued support and services of local staff and volunteers are there to help people today with the continued hope of a cure for tomorrow.

Meanwhile 2,045 individuals were assisted in Leeds and Grenville with volunteers donating 1,233 hours.

As Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark spoke, he remembered when the society started in Brockville, as he was mayor at the time.

“Even in those very modest beginnings, the fact that the society thanks their volunteers is always an important part of an organization,” he said.

Clark thanked the society for its services which he said he has experienced firsthand and appreciated the calm, caring professionalism of the staff and their volunteers.

One of the staff members, Sean McFadden, education and support coordinator, was recognized for his 10 years of service.

Also, current board chair Jennifer Bennett passed her role onto Peter Heggie for the next term.

“I am proud to have served on the board of this organization the last three years as its chair,” said Bennett. “My term as chair is completed but I will remain with the board as past-chair and will continue to volunteer for the society which means a great deal to me.”

Bennett also announced that 2013 Walk for Memories at the Fox Run by-the-River, Gananoque, surpassed its goal with a final total of $12,000.

At this point in the meeting the 2013-14 Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville board of directors was announced. Peter Heggie is chair, Chris Morrison vicechair, Jennifer Bennett, immediate past chair along with Maureen Bradley, Karra Hodgkinson, Jared Howard, Marlyn Schars, Lorie Dubé and Anne Rodger as directors.

Guest speaker Mary McKinlay gave a passionate speech at the Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville on Thursday, June 13, held at the Brockville Country Club.

Her presentation was entitled How I’ve Changed My Life to accommodate my Changing Brain.

came to an end, executive director Denise Wood introduced the guest speaker, Mary McKinlay who spoke on ‘How I’ve Changed My Life to Accommodate my Changing Brain’.

“She has been 42 years as a secretary working in hospitals and government organizations with a typing speed of 126 words per minute,” stated Wood. “She will tell you about her dementia.”

“I’m here to share with you how we have adjusted our lives to accommodate the changes in my brain caused by dementia,” started McKinlay.

In 2006, McKinlay was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (progressive deterioration of the frontal lobe of the brain), at the age of 61.

“I had been struggling for several years with confusion, both at home and in my secretarial job,” explained McKinlay. “I finally went to the doctor one morning when I could not remember how to put the denture back in my mouth.”

Right away, the doctors started McKinlay on cholinesterase inhibitor Aricept.

In addition, McKinlay had heard about memantine while visiting her friends in a chat room and consulted her doctor about this medication.

With both medications, McKinlay is able to function better than she did.

Guest speaker “Seven years later I’m still As the business portion

Donevan’s Hardware and MyFM, who all were eager to do what they could to help out.

“I think this is just fantastic,” said Sarah, Brodie’s mum. “I got a facebook invitation to this from my son who was grounded at the time. I want to support him 100 per cent, and help out in any way we can.”

To contribute to the cause, grab a bag and start picking up those pieces of trash you find lying about. Start with

your yard, and move into the streets. Every time you see something that needs to be cleaned up, just pitch in and put it where it belongs.

It won’t be long before the entire community will look and feel a lot better.

“We’re going around picking up garbage,” said Brodie. “We need to do this so our community can be clean. I really don’t want to be walking around and stepping on garbage, and I don’t think anyone else does either.”

chatting to the same people about these two drugs,” she said. “Gone are the days of putting the bread in the garbage can instead of the breadbox or dumping the cup of flour in the sink, instead of the mixing bowl and I even remember how to put my dentures back in my mouth.”

If she tries to do too much, her brain becomes foggy and she needs to slow down and do one task at a time with breaks in between.

McKinlay is also sensitive to sound and uses headphones to block out noise.

“My eyes have also become affected in that sometimes I have extreme sensitivity to light which causes headaches,” she explained.

“When this happens I use clip-on sunglasses on top of sunglasses or stay indoors and

keep the curtains closed.”

McKinlay also had issues with taking showers because of the sound of the water and the feeling of the spray hitting her skin. So with her ingenuity, she starting using earplugs to dim the noise and now enters the bathtub at the far end away from the showerhead and only exposes one part of the body to the water at a time.

Once again, she enjoys her daily shower.

“Others have said to me that they have trouble making decisions about things and I must agree,” the guest speaker noted. “The decision of what to wear each morning takes up a whole bunch of brain power. A simple solution I found is to have a few of my favourite outfits hanging at one end of my closet. Each

ensemble is on a hanger. I’m ready to go in minutes and no decision-making.”

McKinlay also has other suggestions relative to keeping the bathroom uncluttered, shopping, using a curling iron, brain breaks and taking medication.

SAFETY TIPS Heating: Generators should not be brought inside the home for any reason.

EMC News - The Recreation Steering Committee of Leeds and Grenville has introduced its newly appointed Making Play Possible Sustainability Contractor, Elizabeth Green, thanks in part to a $75,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).

Leeds Grenville MPP Steve Clark joined the group to learn more about their new sustainability initiative for Making Play Possible. OTF representative Gordon Munroe attended the event and congratulated members of the Recreation Steering Committee of Leeds and Grenville, (RSCLG) with the project launch held at the Every Kid in our Communities Lead Table meeting July 3.

The OTF grant is supporting a portion of the initiative, which is part of a larger project aimed at ensuring all children and youth living in Leeds and Grenville have access to recreational opportunities regardless of the barriers they face. The newly created position will support the development of the sustainability initiative and promote the fundraising campaign.

“I’m so pleased to help make this Ontario Trillium Foundation announcement today because I know the tremendous impact it’s going to have on children and youth across Leeds and Grenville,” said Clark. “Enhancing the ability of Making Play Possible to provide even more recreational opportunities for our young people is an important investment in their future and society’s.”

“The mission of Making Play Possible is to facilitate access to recreational activities for children and youth of Leeds-Grenville, so that they will grow up physically and mentally strong. Our aim is to decrease the barriers faced by children and youth living in the United Counties whether these barriers are financial, physical or mental health,” noted steering committee co-chair Catherine Deplaedt.

“Elizabeth will be working with the RSCLG, a committee of Every Kid in our Communities (EKIOC), to create a sustainability plan that incorporates greater partnerships between recreation providers, funders and community services,” added co-chair Krista Gill. “She will also be helping to develop a fundraising component of the plan that will help ensure program dollars are available to support children and youth living in Leeds and Grenville in future years.”

Established in 2004, Making Play Possible (MPP) has been working to support children and youth in gaining access to recreation opportunities within Leeds and Grenville.

Canada Day perfect for celebrating ‘our’ flag

Photos by DOREEN BARNES

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

EMC Events - Amid the fun and laughter, seven individuals associated with the Child Care and Membership area of the YMCA of Brockville and Area gladly wash Louise Findlay’s car on Saturday, July 6 in the north parking lot. Also, a barbecue of hamburgers, hot dogs and sausages served with chips and a drink were available for $4. For dessert, they offered an ice cream cone for $2 or an ice cream sundae for $3. According to Car Wash captain Tina Sauve, all funds raised go towards the 2013 YMCA Strong Kids Annual Campaign. If you missed this event, on Saturday, Aug. 17, a Volleyball Tournament will take place at Boston Pizza and on Sunday, Aug. 18, the Somersault Triathlon/Duathlon takes place in downtown Brockville.

1812 Flotilla participates in re-enactment of Battle of Crysler’s Farm of the Battle of Crysler’s Farm July 13-14.

The sailors will row/sail in open boats and come ashore each evening to set up canvas tents and prepare their meals, only to repeat the process each day until the trip is complete, this in tribute to the iron men who saved the colony by their Herculean efforts on this very same ground 200 years ago.

Sailing into Rockport (between 2 and 4 p.m.) and mooring at Ed Huck Marine on July 9, the flotilla will set up camp and happily welcome the public to visit.

A barbecue supper will be offered to the weary sailors and may be purchased by any and all visitors.

Come check out the longboats, a schooner and a brigantine and while sitting around a campfire, experience what such an evening would have been like for the crew. Enjoy music, lots of chatter and numerous stories. Learn about an important part of our history.

EMC Events - “When Captain William Howe Mulcaster returned to Kingston with the news that Major-General Wilkinson’s U.S. Army was headed downriver, he and De Rottenburg assembled a “Corps of Observation” that was loaded into two schooners and several gunboats and smaller vessels and sent off in pursuit.

They covered the distance from Kingston to Morrisburg in the next few days where the force was landed. Here, Wilkinson, tired of the terriers barking at his heels, turned to face the small British/Canadian army under Lt-Colonel Morrison and met his match at the Battle of Crysler’s Farm.”

This summer, from July 6-12, a flotilla consisting of seven longboats, a schooner and a brigantine will re-enact Mulcaster’s mission on the St. Lawrence, sailing downriver from Bath to Upper Canada Village, ending at the bicentennial battle re-enactment

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Community support highlights Doors Open in Athens DEAR EDITOR: What a wonderful atmosphere of community spirit and cooperation during this past Doors Open weekend in Athens this year.

Mr. Tackaberry’s willingness to open three buildings housing his collections was so generous and very much appreciated! There were many area artisans and musicians who gave of their time and efforts to share their talents, Marie’s Gallery included.

The continued interest shown in local heritage at the opening day of the Athens Museum was evident as well. Hundreds of visitors of so many various ages and localities, including whole families, participated. What a positive and wholesome way to spend the day

without costs.

We are so thankful for everyone who helped make this such a success and we look forward to the possibilities of more open sites next year.

It will be that same spirit that will help make our Heritage Signage Project a success as we celebrate all of the amazing heritage and community mindedness that is Athens!

With thanks, Sally Smid, Athens and Area Heritage Society

EMC Editorial – Some hate the humidity, some revel in it, but whichever side you’re on, summer is officially here and along with it, those muggy temperatures.

Summer’s just started and already Leeds & Grenville has suffered through a heat and smog alert.

Summer is a favourite season of many, but the heat and humidity that often goes along with it is nothing to take lightly.

According to the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit, this dangerous mix can cause dehydration, heat stroke, heat exhaustion and even in some cases, death.

While everyone is at risk, it is particularly the elderly, those with chronic illnesses or on specific medications, infants and preschool children, as well as those who work outdoors or participate in physical activity for long periods of time, that are particularly susceptible.

During these heat waves, it’s important to be better safe than sorry and exercise common sense. You wouldn’t want to spend hours out in the scorching heat, so don’t leave your children or pets parking in cars or sleeping outside in the direct sunlight.

There have been too many cases of infants or dogs being left in vehicles, just so their parent or owner could zip into the mall to get that item they desperately needed. In some instances, the errand isn’t such a quick one and can have a fatal outcome.

Although the health unit recommends staying indoors with the drapes shut and keeping lights turned down low, if you have no choice but to be outside, make sure regular breaks are taken in the shade and drink plenty of water and fruit juices throughout the day. Don’t drink liquids too fast, sip them often throughout the day. Try to avoid alcoholic beverages, cola and coffee and stick to consuming foods with high water content to avoid dehydration.

This includes fruit such as oranges, grapes and watermelon.

Remember to wear loose fitting and light clothing and always have a hat on hand to block out the sun’s harmful rays.

This was just the first of likely many heat waves we’ll have before summer ends on Sept. 21, so crank up that air conditioning, draw the blinds and keep cool.

Young Mary always worried there wasn’t enough food Lifestyle - The sauerkraut barrel was just about empty in the summer kitchen.

It has served us well since the early fall when the whole family spent many evenings shredding cabbage to fill it to the brim.

The salt pork barrel was empty too, and had been thoroughly washed and set out on the back stoop to sun-dry.

The smallest of the three barrels had long since given up the last pickled herring. Even the vegetables in the root cellar were getting scarce.

Now, what were we to do, I wondered? Would we starve? It would be many weeks before we would have carrots and potatoes from the garden. Now I had something else to worry about.

Back then, it seemed, I could find many issues to send me into a state of anxiousness. Mother said I was born with furrows in my brow, whatever that meant. And worrying if we had enough food to keep us alive was constantly on

my mind this time of year.

I took my concerns to my sister Audrey. She always seemed to have an answer for everything. At first she laughed out loud when I asked her if we were about to starve since all the barrels that once held our daily sustenance were empty. Then she saw that I was sincerely worried and she took me to the old swing in the grape arbour to give me a long talk on how I was worried for nothing.

At that very moment, she pointed out, wasn’t our bake table full of freshly baked bread? Weren’t there enough

loaves there to last us most of the week when Mother would again bake up another batch? So there would always be sandwiches and always there would be bread pudding for dessert.

And in the smoke house, wasn’t there slabs of back-bacon and roasts of pork, and sausage links, enough to feed half of Renfrew County?

“Stop worrying, Mary,” she said. “We won’t starve.”

And of course, my wiser sister Audrey was quite right.

Soon there were sprigs of new lettuce showing in the garden. Enough to take to the dinner table and for lettuce sandwiches which I loved with a passion.

Fresh lettuce, with a spattering of sugar and vinegar between two slices of buttered freshly baked bread. Now, that was a treat! One which I dearly loved.

And then Audrey took me down into the dugout under the house. I had told her the last time I had gone down with the

dish pan to bring up vegetables for supper, I had to dig away in the sand before I found a carrot.

Audrey pointed to the shelves down there that for generations held preserves and pickles. And there on those shelves were enough glass jars, still full of beans in brine, onions hanging in mesh bags, and sealer after sealer of preserved raspberries, crab apples and wild blueberries. “Now do you think we are starving?” Audrey asked.

And of course, my much older, and much wiser sister was right. Just because the barrels in the kitchen were empty, there was still food aplenty to last us until the garden was ready. I could put my worries aside. And I recalled what my father always said when he was discussing the issues of the day: “It’s a poor farmer indeed, who can’t keep food on the table to feed his family.”

Although not my favourite, we had as much milk to drink as we wanted.

There was always a big jug of fresh milk in the ice box, and newly churned butter in glass bowls. Our hen house full of hens provided us with enough eggs for our own use, and with lots left over for Mother to peddle in Renfrew every Saturday morning.

We could expect a chicken dinner every Sunday. Mother, long before we would set out for church, would have stuffed at least two fat birds and put them in the Findlay Oval oven. If there weren’t enough vegetables in the sand bin to tuck around the chickens, we made do with bowls of pickled beans or canned tomatoes from the cellar.

Although Father never considered it a meal, Mother had what we all called her “everything goes into it” pot of soup simmering just about constantly on the back of the stove.

EMC News - Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) is out on the road again this summer on the Pink Tour, letting women know that one third of breast cancers are preventable and that regular screening saves lives.

The eye-catching pink coach bus stopped at the Brockville Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market last Saturday, July 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This tour is empowering women to make informed choices and take steps to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.

Mortality rates for breast cancer are declining, thanks to improved treatments and earlier diagnoses, but one in nine Canadian women will still be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. While women aged 50 to 74 can receive a mammogram without a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral and at no cost, currently only 61 per cent of women in Ontario are being screened and research shows that women are not aware that they can take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is thrilled to be once again visiting over 90 communities this summer,â&#x20AC;? said Sandra Palmaro, CEO, CBCF-Ontario Region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that women and their friends and families stop by to learn about how they can reduce their risk of breast cancer and the benefits of

We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t starve on the farm just because the barrels were empty. Food was all around us, and there was always Briscoes General Store, where we could stop for maple cookies, a couple slices of bologna, and the basics like flour, tea and sugar.

CBCF, with the support of CIBC and Shoppers Drug Mart, invites Ontarians to get on board the 46-foot Pink Tour bus to learn about steps they can take to help reduce their risk of breast cancer and about the benefits of breast cancer screening. The Pink Tour is an engaging, interactive learning experience about breast health and while on board visitors can take fun quizzes, use interactive videos and record personal video pledges to live well. Women who are eligible will also be able to sign up for a mammogram with the Ontario Breast Screening Program, a program administered by Cancer Care Ontario.

Women can reduce their risk of breast cancer and recurrence through diet, maintaining a healthier body weight, regular physical activity, drinking less alcohol, quitting smoking, limiting use of hormone therapy during menopause and reducing exposure to harmful chemicals at home and work.

The tour will be travelling to cities and towns all across Ontario, including communities as far north as Kenora, as east as Ottawa and as south as Windsor, and is scheduled to visit health centres, workplaces, markets, festivals and local Shoppers Drug Mart stores and CIBC branches.

R0011954420_0307

Specializing in graphic design, historical research, digital restoration, etc., Phillips is continuing his extensive research into local history. Although many residents have already loaned original photos for scanning, Brian is ever on the hunt for additional good quality photos to complete his mandate.

Upcoming heritage signs to be unveiled later this summer include the history of Charleston Lake, medical history and the history of local skating rinks.

The development of additional sigSubmitted photo nage is dependent on grant amendments Join Brian Phillips for his presentation of historic photographs of Athand donations. The heritage sign project ens at the Joshua Bates Centre Aug. 8. could be extended to cover other interesting themes, such as the history of education, farming, churches, Joshua Bates, Jeffrey Boats, the railroad, businesses, etc.

These signs and murals are very durable and weather resistant and the photomurals can be restored at a minimal cost if there is any wear over the years.

The Heritage Society members look forward to the unveiling on Aug. 8 to celebrate the rich and unique history of Athens.

EMC Events - Mayor Herb Scott and the Athens & Area Heritage Society invite members of the community to the unveiling of the first heritage interpretive sign commemorating the early history of Athens on Thursday, Aug. 8, 7 p.m. in front of Township Hall.

It is hoped that representatives of the Thousand Islands Community Development Corporation will be on hand, along with other special guests.

Without the financial assistance of the Thousand Islands Community Development Corporation (TICDC), this important and lasting project would simply not be feasible.

Immediately following the dedication, upstairs in the Joshua Bates Centre, Brian Phillips of Outcraft Services will present an entertaining slide show of high resolution heritage photographs projected onto a large screen with accompanying narrative designed to surprise and inform the viewer. The cost for the evening is $5 and refreshments will be served. Anyone interested in financially supporting this exciting project can make a donation prior to, or after the presentation.

A day fit for Mark Twain in Gananoque

Photos by LORRAINE PAYETTE

LIONS CLUB OF ATHENS www.athenslions.org/steamfair

EMC Events - Youngsters were hooked when it came to this year’s Huck Finn Fishing Derby in Gananoque June 29.

Clockwise from far left, now, that’s what an official fishing worm looks like! Anthony Siemens, 5, shows off what you really need at the annual Huck Finn Fishing Derby; the banks of the Gananoque River were filled with eager participants; looking like a couple of characters straight out of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Shayna Boon, 3, is not impressed with Tysen Kenders’, 7, catch; this crew was ready to take on all comers as they marched to the river.

Watery graves: Plenty of shipwrecks to explore for novice and expert divers

By DENNIS STEIN

E M C Lifestyle The Thousand Islands is home to world-class freshwater scuba diving, bringing many divers to our area each year. The river is host to a great number of historic shipwrecks, at varying depths and from different time periods.

Reaching these wrecks also takes varying levels of diving, from novice to highly trained technical.

The locations of this fleet of

ships span the St. Lawrence, dating back to the 1700s, and are the results of wars, weather, and mistakes made... The work of an invasive species, Zebra Mussels, have turned the once murky, low visibility environment into the premiere destination for fresh water diving in eastern North America. The wrecks in these waters vary from loyalist gunboats built in the late 1700s, to paddlewheel passenger ships, and grain, coal, or oil steamers.

Tugboats, schooners and the like all lie at various depths, in different currents.

Favourites include the Rothesay, launched in the year of confederation, in New

Brunswick. A large doublepaddlewheel passenger vessel, it handled the Montreal-toPrescott route. She went down after colliding with an American tug in 1889, just to the west of Prescott. The site has very little current, and can be accessed off Highway 2 from a small picnic area on shore. A rope line guides divers down to the shallow wreck, where the bow and stern area remain reasonably intact.

Another would have to be the Keystorm, built in England.

A large steamer of over 250 ft. designed to carry cargo, and built in the very beginning of the 20th century. In 1912, she struck a shoal and sank within minutes

carrying more than 2000 tons of coal. It is a favourite dive site south of the shipping channel off Mallorytown Landing, and one of the local pubs in Brockville honours it name.

One of the more dangerous dives for a wreck on the Thousand Islands lies off Wellesley Island in deep water, with fast current. The 700 ft long steel freighter Roy A. Jodery lies close to the Coast

Guard Station where she sank in 1974, carrying more than 20,000 tons of iron ore. This wreck is only for the highly skilled, having claimed the lives of several divers, including one of the original salvage divers for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance underwriters, whose body was never found...

subject, and some of the best that I found would be included at 1000islands.com/wrecks.

Whether you are a diver or simply interested in shipwrecks, our area contains plenty to keep you busy.

Perhaps long lost treasures await those brave enough to venture into the depths of the St. Lawrence, where the deeper, There is a tremendous wealth darker waters hide historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of information online on this bounty...

SHAKESPEARE From page 2

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very profound material,â&#x20AC;? says Craig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You discover more and more about it the more time you spend with it.â&#x20AC;?

And since Craig has had to spend so much time with Hamlet, his role in the other play the Shakespeare Festival is staging this summer will be quite small. Craig will play â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; George MacDonnell in Maid for a Musket, an original play based loosely on Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labours Lost.

Diving right in Craig certainly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been eased into his first experience with the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival, tasked with portraying both Hamlet and one of Prescottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prominent historical figures, but he is happy to be spending his summer in the Fort Town.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have heard so many good things about the Shakespeare Festival,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting that the company has earned an admirable reputation within the close-knit Canadian acting community.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the quality of the productions or the calibre of people working on the plays that has given the festival its good name; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the people who come to see the shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely remarkable how supportive the community is,â&#x20AC;? says Craig.

Both Hamlet and Maid for a Musket will no doubt draw large crowds to the Shakespeare Festival once again this summer and tickets are already selling briskly. Hamlet opens on Wednesday, July 17 and Maid for a Musket opens on Saturday, July 13. Both have previews the night before.

Information on tickets can be found at the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stlawrenceshakepeare.ca.

Tips for Preserving the Harvest As summer progresses, our gardens and local farms and farm markets begin to overflow with a bountiful harvest. Be sure to enjoy the freshness but remember you can extend the availability of fruits and veggies by preserving through freezing, canning or drying. Each method of preserving may be better suited to certain types of foods. The following tips will help you preserve your foods safely. Start with a clean kitchen, clean equipment and clean hands.

It’s that time of year when many of us enjoy the thrill of the grill. Be a food safety grill master by following these four food safety strategies to ensure the food you serve is safe: Clean Wash hands after handling raw meats and before preparing salads etc, and eating Use clean dishes and utensils Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before cutting Chill Keep potentially hazardous foods cold (4oC or 40oF or below) until ready to serve or cook to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying. Marinate meats in the refrigerator and discard marinade after use If using coolers, stock with sufficient clean ice packs Keep drinks in a separate cooler as this one is likely to be opened more often Cover and refrigerate leftovers with-in one hour Cook Undercooked meats can cause food-borne illness. Use a sanitized probe thermometer to check the internal temperature of cooked foods Cook ground chicken/chicken pieces and meat mixtures to 74oC(165oF), whole poultry to 82oC (180oF) ground meats and pork to 71oC (160oF), fish and seafood to 70oC (158oF) Beef/veal steaks and roasts can be cooked to your preferred doneness provided they have not been mechanically tenderized and the outside surface has been cooked Separate Be careful not to cross-contaminate ready to eat foods with raw foods Never use the same plate or utensils for raw and cooked food as meat juices contain harmful bacteria

Participants invited to take part as favorite Prohibition personality ‘jazz’ was used to describe more than music; it meant anything exciting or fun.

Flappers loved jazz and dancing and they wanted to experience everything. Mae West, well-known movie actress of the period, was known to say, “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.” This statement fit in well with flapper ideology.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, helped glorify the flapper lifestyle and made flappers appear to be attractive, rebellious, and independent. His outrageous wife, Zelda (our poster girl), was the quintessential flapper. She prided herself on wild abandon. She was known to dance on top of taxis and splash in public fountains. She wore a skintight, skin-coloured swimsuit so that people might think she was swimming in the nude.

Clara Bow, Mary Pickford, Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson…these are just a few of the famous movie star flappers. In

Healthy, safe outdoor eating tips EMC Lifestyle - Summertime is ideal for eating outside, at the beach, in the back yard or a local park. When planning foods for outdoor eating remember that in the summertime many local vegetables and fruit are at their peak and make a wonderful addition to any meal. It is also important to stay hydrated, and use safe food practices.

Healthy picnic options Typical prepackaged picnic foods such as hot dogs, mayonnaise based salads (e.g. potato salad); chips, desserts etc. can be high in saturated fat, sodium and sugar. You can make your picnic healthier by including vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean meat. Summer picnics occur at the height of the fresh fruit and vegetable season. Here are a few tasty and easy picnic ideas: Combine salad greens with a variety of other vegetables. Bring vinaigrette dressing to toss before serving.

Serve sliced vegetables and dip. Try locally grown tomatoes, red peppers, radishes, cauliflower, zucchini, and cucumbers.

Bring whole grain buns.

Whole grain pitas or wraps: turkey, chicken, tuna or salmon with lettuce, chopped celery, peppers, onion and shred-

ded carrots. Or use lettuce as the “wrap” for the filling. Replace mayonnaise with mustard or low fat yogurt.

For dessert, have fruit salad made with locally grown produce, such as strawberries, blueberries and apples. Add some Ontario grown fruit such as peaches and cherries.

Stay hydrated It is also important to stay hydrated when outside in hot weather. A lot of the time people do not think to drink, especially children and the elderly. The best choice to stay hydrated is water- try adding ice or lemon slices for a refreshing drink. Other healthy options include low-fat milk and 100 per cent fruit or vegetable juice. Avoid alcohol or caffeinated beverages- these may actually contribute to dehydration. You can try freezing your drinks ahead of time so they will be cool later in the day.

Keep it safe When taking food to a location away from home, plan with extra care. The summer heat can cause bacteria in food to grow and multiply more rapidly than usual, leading to a greater risk of foodborne illness.

crime. Rockport’s ‘river rats’ made a living from it. Gangsters became rich and famous. Consider dressing up as Al (Scarface) Capone, Lucky Luciano or Dutch Schultz. Or you can schmooze on in as other famous personalities like Rudolph Valentino, trumpeter Louis Armstrong or W.C. Fields who has been credited with saying, “Once during Prohibition I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.”

So to whom do you relate? Do you fancy being a flapper, a gangster or an-

other Twenties personality? We hope you will get into the attractive spirit and dress up and join us. There will be a Flappers Finery kiosk onsite selling costume accessories for gals and guys. Girls, dangle your pearls. Guys don your hats and spats.

1922 flapper culture found its champion in Louise Brooks…a dancer and a beautiful flapper with her modern fashions, bobbed hair, and ‘devil may care’ attitude. She was the ‘bees knees’ (terrific) as popular flapper slang would put it. She did what she wanted, when she wanted, with whom she wanted. In 1925 she had a notorious, three-week love affair with Charlie Chaplin.

EMC Events - Do you have the ‘moxie’ (nerve) to come to “Rockport Prohibition Days” in Roaring Twenties fashion...literally in fashion? We sure hope so because you’ll be joining flappers, gangsters, rumrunning Rockport river rats, and other personalities of the period.

The Roaring Twenties were fast times when the speakeasies (any ‘juice joint’ selling illegal alcoholic beverages) were filled with gangsters and their ‘molls’ (girlfriends) and gold diggers in ‘glad rags’ (fancy clothes).

And flappers were abundant. A flapper was the new breed of woman in the years after World War I. Flappers were young women who wanted more from their lives.

After the war the world had lost its innocence and these girls were not interested in social conventions and routine. They flaunted Prohibition.

This was the ‘jazz’ age and the word

Longboats pull in for overnight stay this week

EMC News - In the days of sailing ships a vessel would carry several ship’s boats for various uses.

One would be a longboat, an open boat to be rowed by eight or ten oarsmen, two per thwart.

The longboat was double banked; its rowing benches were designed to accommodate two men each pulling an oar on opposite sides.

The longboat would have fairly fine lines aft to permit its use in steep waves such as surf or wind against tide where need be. Like other ships’ boats, the longboat could be rigged for sailing but was primarily a pulling boat.

This flotilla will be sailing downriver from Bath to Upper Canada Village, ending at the bicentennial battle re-enactment of the Battle of Crysler’s Farm July 13-14.

The sailors will row/sail in open boats and come ashore each evening to set up canvas tents and prepare their meals, only to repeat the process each day until the trip is complete, this in tribute to the iron men who saved the colony by their herculean efforts on this very same ground 200 years ago.

The 7 longboats will be arriving at Centeen Park in Brockville the afternoon of July 10, setting up an encampment for an overnight stay, leaving Brockville the morning of the 11th for Prescott and arriving in the evening of the 12th at Upper Canada Village.

EMC Events – The Friends of the Crysler’s Farm Battlefield are marking the bicentennial of the War of 1812 Battle of Crysler’s Farm with a large living history event and military reenactment near Upper Canada Village on July 13 and 14, 2013.

To commemorate this crucial battle – the “Battle that Saved Canada” - the Friends will be hosting more than 500 living history re-enactors representing naval, artillery, cavalry, band and infantry units from across Canada and the U.S. at Crysler’s Farm Battlefield Memorial grounds. This event is supported in part by the Building Communities through Arts and Heritage program at Canadian Heritage.

A signature Eastern Ontario bicentennial event in 2013, the Battle of Crysler’s Farm Military Re-enactment will provide families, children and history enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to watch three re-enactment battles (Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and evening battle at dusk in Upper Canada Village; Sunday at 1:30 p.m.) including American, British and Aboriginal forces alongside Canadian militia on parts of the actual battlefield! Hear the piercing notes of First Nations battle cries, the roar of cannons and the sounds of a victory parade, as you will feel like you have stepped back into these turbulent times. Tip: It is recommended that visitors who are planning to attend one of the battle events arrive at least one hour ahead of the start time.

The site opens at 9 a.m. each day and will feature the region’s largest 1812 period encampment, First Nations displays, 1812 exhibit by Parks Canada, children’s musters, artillery demonstrations, two tall ships – the Fair Jeanne and La Revenante, gun boats, along with numerous period merchants and artisans. Visit a military surgeon’s tent where he will tend to wounded soldiers between the battle re-enactments.

At 1 p.m. on Saturday, descendants

lift the rear of a boat off the trailer with disastrous results. Take a moment to make sure everything is secure.

Every commercial trucker knows the value of a walk-around. This inspection of tire pressure, wheel fasteners, lights, and other vital safety systems helps to reduce the risk of break-downs and traffic mishaps. While it would be great to have every driver, regardless of their vehicle type, run a cursory once-over at the beginning of every trip, at the very least this one or two minute exercise would prevent a lot of vacation travel headaches if done before heading out for each leg of a longer trek. (Wheel fasteners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually require pre-trip inspections on personal use vehicles).

Checking tire pressures, including those on any trailer and the spare(s) should be at the top of the list. Running with low tire pressures with a fully loaded vehicle at highway speeds on a blistering hot day is a recipe for a blowout. Have a helper lend a hand completing an exterior lamp check and complete under-hood fluids, hoses, and belt(s) inspection before the engine gets started and warmed up. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the trailer hitch and safety chains as well.

EMC Lifestyle - Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely in summer travel season, judging from the increased traffic in cottage and vacation country, so perhaps a few hot summer tips on a variety of topics might not be a bad idea. So, in no particular orderâ&#x20AC;Ś Water, yes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water dripping from your air-conditioned vehicle while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idling on a hot humid day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised at how many drivers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what that clear liquid dripping from their vehicles directly under the windshield cowl. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a condensation collector tray under every air-conditioned dash and by means of a rubber tube/nozzle; it drains water out of the vehicle. From time to time the flexible rubber flap on the end of the drain can stick shut and when this happens the drain-tray will overflow inside the vehicle providing a cold-feet surprise to any front seat passenger with open-toed shoes. In most cases all you have to do is locate this drain flap on the engine side of the firewall and squeeze it so it pops open allowing for a dry and cool ride inside.

Batten down more than the hatches. Every summer more than a few collisions, not to mention, countless near-misses are caused by improperly secured trailer loads, including boats.

While vacationing drivers may be considerate enough to secure any loose gear in their trailered boat, they often forget to check on the condition and tension on the straps holding the boat onto the trailer. Most trailer suspension systems are far less advanced than those that hold up our vehicles. A sudden jounce or jolt due to a pothole or wash-board surface, combined with a sharp cornering or lane-change maneuver, can easily

“Having met the requirements of the program, CIBC and RBC are now in a position to issue the first covered bonds under the framework,” said Douglas Stewart, Interim President and CEO, CMHC. “We expect that other issuers will soon have registered programs in place.”

As the Minister of Finance committed to in Budget 2012, amendments were made to the National Housing Act (NHA) giving CMHC responsibility for administering a legal framework for covered bonds. The parameters of the legal framework are outlined in the Canadian Registered Covered Bond Programs Guide.

EMC News — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) expects housing starts to re-gain momentum in the later part of the year and/or into 2014, as employment, economic growth and net migration are forecast to improve over the forecast horizon. Overall, total annual housing starts are expected to be lower in 2013 compared to 2012, mostly due to moderation observed in the first half of 2013, according to CMHC’s second quarter 2013 Housing Market Outlook, Canada Edition.

“So far in 2013, the average monthly growth rates of MLS sales, new listings and prices have all been increasing. This follows a pe-

riod of average monthly declines that held sway over the second half of 2012,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist for CMHC. “This change in the trend of the resale market is expected to eventually lead to a similar change in the trend of the new home market, as housing starts dynamics typically lag the resale market by one to three quarters.”

On an annual basis, housing starts are expected to range between 173,300 to 192,500 units in 2013, with a point forecast of 182,900 units, following a level of 214,827 units in 2012. In 2014, housing starts are expected to range from 166,500 to 211,300 units, with a

point forecast of 188,900 units.

Existing home sales are expected to range between 412,000 to 474,800 units in 2013, with a point forecast of 443,400 units, following a level of 453,372 in 2012.

In 2014, Multiple Listing Service sales are expected to range from 435,800 to 501,400 units, with an increase in the point forecast to 468,600 units.

The average MLS price is forecast to be between $359,400 and $380,000 in 2013 and between $362,400 and $392,200 in 2014.

CMHC’s point forecast for the average MLS price calls for a 1.6 per cent gain to $369,700 in 2013 and a further 2.1 per cent gain to

$377,300 in 2014.

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

Dorner.

In terms of furniture, look for pieces that are solid wood, well-built and in good working order – check that drawers slide correctly, tables and chairs are sturdy and if there are multiple pieces, that parts (such as table leaves) are not missing.

When it comes to couches, check the springs, the frame, the legs and the cushions. If there is anything amiss and you are still interested in purchasing the piece, negotiate with the seller and see if you can’t skim some money off to pay for the cost of the repairs on the piece.

Appliances can be a little trickier to purchase second hand but you can find great quality second hand models.

Although not technically second hand, floor model appliances are a good place to start your search.

Floor models are brand new but due to the wear and tear associated with the sales floor, may have dents or scratches that can usually be buffed off or disguised, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars off the purchase price.

If you are considering buying a used appliance, do your research first.

By looking into the brand and the model and reading the reviews of other consumers, you can save yourself a lot of time and headaches down the line.

Popular models are usually

a good bet since parts will be readily available and affordable, should you require a replacement part.

To Dorner, “When it comes to buying second hand furniture and appliances, you tend to get what you pay for but by doing your homework, trying before you buy and not getting carried away by price alone, you can certainly uncover some hidden treasures to help update your space.”

“If you are changing your décor in preparation of selling your home, be sure to speak to your Realtor about the updates that resonate with potential buyers,” says Dorner.

While switching out your old leather sofa and avocado coloured refrigerator may be a no-brainer, choosing whether to buy new or used furniture and appliances can be tricky.

Developmental Services of Leeds and Grenville celebrates 30th anniversary with two-day conference last month EMC News - Karla is an amazing person. She can play three musical instruments and sings like a lark. She only has to hear a song once to reproduce it flawlessly, and her dream is to be a professional musician. But there’s just one problem. Society doesn’t know how to accept her because she’s “different”.

“I just wish they’d look at me and see me!” she says. “But all they ever see is what’s on the outside.”

Karla is a composite, a joining of many people with cerebral palsy or spina bifida or Down syndrome or any of a myriad of developmental challenges which manifest themselves in an obvious physical fashion. Too often they become labelled simply because their bodies or faces may be somewhat different in size, shape or proportion, or they may require special assistive equipment of some type that appears threatening and uncomfortable to those not familiar with it or the user. Sometimes their challenges lead to speech and cognitive problems, all things which can make the larger society uncomfortable with itself

and, by extension, them.

But the DSLG (Developmental Services of Leeds and Grenville) is doing everything it can to reach out and close the gap between the Karlas of the world and the rest of society. At their 30th Anniversary Conference held at the Glen House Resort in TLTI on June 26 and 27, they brought in Dr. Al Condeluci as keynote speaker, and held highly informative workshops on cultural shifting, inclusive education and successfully wandering through the maze of programs available for assisting those in need.

“All of us are interested in a better community where all people have an opportunity for accessible and affordable homes, jobs or meaningful daytime opportunities and lifestyles of their choice,” says the DSLG. “Yet, many vulnerable people find themselves in isolated situations with limited options for friendships and important social relationships. “(Dr. Condeluci’s) presentation takes a close look at the reasons why these struggles have existed and offers a com-

munity building perspective designed to shift the culture to be more inclusive and supportive to all people.”

Dr. Condeluci is on the faculty of the School of Health and Rehabilitative Sciences and the School of Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. As the CEO of UCP/CLASS (a community based support system for people with all types of disabilities in that city), he has gleaned much useful knowledge, and has developed a unique and engaging style of imparting that information to conference attendees. Of the seven books he has authored, his best known work is perhaps the acclaimed “Interdependence: The Route to Community (1991)”, and his new release, “Together is Better” (2009). His style is engaging and highly accessible, and he was able to impart vast amounts of useful information in the limited space of a few hours in his workshop.

In addition, there were two other programs for participants to enjoy.

Donna Ferguson, client of DSLG, was a featured artist at the 30th anniversary of Developmental Services of Leeds and Grenville on June 26-27. Her work is a prime example of what can be done when people are given a chance. zation has worked diligently to grow with these demands and not become entrenched in a structure of past demands. Services have been planned on an individual goal plan model with the community as the focus for service delivery.”

Five years quickly became ten, then twenty, and now DSLG is thirty years old and continuing to grow and develop. Its programs reach out to all in the community who face the unique difficulties of dealing with developmental challenges in a society that still has so much to learn about them. And

only through knowledge can they gain acceptance and understanding, and fill that bright spot in our culture that belongs to them alone. “We knew at the time we started that we were part of an evolution, not a revolution,” said McMullen. “We also knew we had to stay focused on our vision and values. What was true then is still true now.”

Both sessions allowed attendees to learn from panels of professionals in the field, broadening their base and increasing their knowledge regarding the latest research and practices to support truly meaningful and inclusive education systems for those students who have unique learning needs as well as a chance to discuss the latest services and initiatives in their respective fields.

“Our journey began in 1983 as a result of one of the first closures of a Schedule I institution in Ontario,” said Geoff McMullen, Executive Director of DSLG in his address on June 26. “It was a scary time for many - there was no GPS or road map. Thirty years ago, almost to the date, people left for the July long weekend to come back on Tuesday as employees of a community agency providing services and supports to individuals residing in the community.

Pike for a Fight raises $1,000 for palliative care EMC News - A Northern Pike fishing tournament in memory of Dawn Herbison recently raised more than $1,000 for local palliative care.

Organized by Herbison’s nephew Kyle Jensen, the Pike for a Fight tournament attracted almost 90 participants and enjoyed the sponsorship of 19 local businesses and individuals.

“The support for the tournament was amazing,” says Jensen. “So many people and businesses donated prizes for the event, and the day could not have happened without them. It really shows how people in this area have opened their hearts to our local palliative care service.”

Jensen’s Aunt Dawn was diagnosed with cancer in early 2012, and passed away that August in the care of the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service based at Brockville General Hospital.

“It wasn’t my first experience with the service,” explains Jensen. “The professionalism and care that the staff offer to the family and loved one are incredible and noticed by all of us.”

The Pike for a Fight was so successful that Jensen is considering making it an annual event. First place winner was Rick Fisher with a pike weighing six pounds, nine ounces.

Mad-cap suspense comedy keeps them laughing at Upper Canada Playhouse EMC Entertainment - Warning to Playhouse audience members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tons of murders being planned at the Morrisburg theatre. But have no fear. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely result in tons of laughter.

Upper Canada Playhouse is celebrating its 30th season with some of its biggest crowds ever and their upcoming comedy, Murder at the Howard Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, promises to continue the trend from July 4-28.

This popular classic by Sam Bobrick and Ron Clark is the second installment in The Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer Series and offers up a comedy with some entertaining new twists.

All is fair in love? Even murder? Those are the questions posed by this light and funny suspense-comedy filled with thrills, surprises, whacky characters and a whole lot of laughter.

When Paul finds out that wife Arlene is having an affair at the Howard Johnsons with their dentist, Mitchell, it unleashes an

Playhouse audiences are in for a comedy treat. Murder at the Howard Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runs July 4-28 with evening shows Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 8 p.m. and matinees Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday at 2 p.m.. Call 613-543-3713/ 1-877-550-3650 or uppercanadaplayhouse. com

hilarious set of events that span three different nights at the same hotel as this madcap love triangle plots three different murders. Only problem is, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no good at it. Their bungled attempts to carry out their crazy crimes just escalate the comedy even further.

Who do they try to kill and how do they try to do it? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of the entertaining fun and suspense in this off-the-wall comedy that delves into such themes as self-realization, love, fidelity, gender equality and others that so clearly defined the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Directed by Jesse Collins, Emmy Nominated director for the PBS series ZOBOOMAFOO, the show stars veteran actors Jamie Williams, Susan Greenfield and Timm Hughes. Bobrick and Clarke, writers of the Playhouse hits Wallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe and Weekend Comedy, have also written for such TV shows as The Andy Griffith Show, Get Smart and The Smothers Brothers.

My Take

Saturday July 13

MARK HASKINS

adorable Elsie Fischer and the deviously witty Russell Brand all return to voice their beloved characters. Steve Coogan joins in as the head of the AVL Silas Ramsbottom, and Benjamin Bratt jumps in the ring as the voice of suspected villain Eduardo.

I’ve been a big fan of Steve Carell for a long time. He’s managed to do a lot of different films and varied characters, but I think my favorite is Gru. I love the concept, I love the voice, and I love his delivery. It’s sheer brilliance.

Kristen Wiig lends her voice to Lucy Wilde, Gru’s partner and love interest.

Wiig gives Lucy a zany manic quality that is hilarious while at the same time making her the perfect fit for Gru. Of course the big scene-stealers are the minions voiced by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud. They’ve taken animated slapstick and elevated it to the level of art. As long as the minions are there I’ll be in the theatre to see Despicable Me 3, 4, 5 and so on.

EMC Entertainment - I don’t know what it is about those crazy yellow minions, but they crack me and my kids up every time. Just like the first one, Despicable Me 2 will bring tears to your eyes from laughing so hard, and maybe one or two from tugging on your heart strings.

Gru (Steve Carell) is back and enjoying life as a suburban dad. Between birthday parties for the girls, dodging his whacky neighbour’s attempts to set him up, and creating truly awful jellies and jams with Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand) Gru’s plate is pretty full. Though I suppose there’s always room for saving the world.

Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) an agent of the Anti-Villain League kidnaps Gru and takes him to the AVL’s underwater headquarters. Most recently a villain has stolen a powerful mutagenic compound, and the AVL needs someone who thinks like a villain to catch a villain. They need Gru. Despicable Me 2 is a slapstick bonanza. It’s one gag after another in a nonstop laugh fest that will have your sides hurting. I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed this much in a movie theatre. As wonderfully silly as Despicable Me 2 is, it’s also a great story with some great characters you really connect with. There are times when I felt it jumped around too quickly, but for the most part this is a warm and fuzzy comic adventure of epic proportions.

EMC News - If you have had a stroke, or are giving care to a loved one who is a stroke survivor, then you may want to check the stroke support group in town.

Stroke Understood is a support group for stroke survivors and their families and friends, and participants meet once a month in Perth and Brockville.

Financially supported by the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), it is facilitated by Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC) umbrella.

In Perth and Brockville, Annette Pinkney is the health promoter.

Both groups meet the fourth Wednesday of the month from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The Perth group meets at the Legion, Branch 244 and in Brockville at the 1000 Islands Mall (in the end closest to the Galaxy movie theatre).

to the Perth hospital to chat with people who have suffered a stroke, and their families. “People see I am a survivor and I am getting along well… and it’s survivor… not stroke victim. We are not victims of a stroke. We have survived a stroke.”

Seeing Bowes, one wouldn’t even know she had had a stroke some 20-plus years ago.

“I’ve had great therapy over the years and a positive attitude. That’s the difference,” Bowes says, who visits with patients on a weekly basis.

“I encourage them to come to the support group and see what we’re all about,” she says.

Group meetings are flexible, added Pinkney. “They tell me what they would like to do. We have an active membership. They like all sorts of things… art, photography. We often have guest speakers and I will combine the two groups for that sometimes.”

Support group meetings are open to anyone who is recovering from the effects of a stroke. At a meeting, participants learn from each other and share strategies for success.

“They discover what resources are out there and build a social network,” Pinkney said.

There is no cost to join the group and guests are encouraged to drop by a meeting at any time.

For more information, call Pinkney at 613-342-3693 ext. 407 or email apinkney@cphcare.ca

BOURRET - In loving memory of Tom Bourret who passed on July 9, 2010.

You had a heart of gold One of the best to behold You were generous, loving and kind These are the memories you left behind.

We miss you in so many ways We miss the things you used to say And when old times we do recall It’s then, we miss you most of all.

HINTON, Donna – In fond and loving memory of our wife and mother who passed away June 29, 2005.

Tonight the stars are gleaming.

On a lonely, silent grave, Where sleeps in dreamless slumber.

One we loved but could not save.

So may the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you’ll hear; We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here.

Ever remembered, ever loved and sadly missed Grant, Terri, Paul and Kevin

Connected to your community

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2122;bout practiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: Tincap Golf Course offers terrific practice facility EMC Sports - In my last column I talked about my post game assessment by charting my game. And oh yeah, the constructive comment made by one of my fellow competitors and friend helped as well.

Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at your game and your post game assessment. Like I said a couple of weeks back, once you chart your game, at least 10 rounds, to get an accurate assessment of your game, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know exactly what to work on.

What part of your game is holding you back from achieving â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; status?

So once you have figured it out, what do you do next? Well for starters you can take a lesson from a certified golf instructor and not from the one of many armchair teaching professionals we have in this area.

Or plan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, go to the best practice facility in the area, the Tincap Golf Course. Yes you heard me right, the Tincap Golf Course. It has by far the best practice facility around, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no restrictions on what clubs you can hit and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to hit limited flight golf balls either.

This facility has everything, it has a practice area that will cover every aspect of the game. They have a practice green, two quality practice sand traps, a pitching area with measured-out targets and the best grass teeing area around.

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

Submitted photo

This is the practice green which also features two sand traps, one with a low lip and one with a higher lip. Both these traps have good quality sand in them. This area can help you develop your putting, chipping and sand play.

Whatever area of your game that needs the work, the Tincap facility can easily accommodate you and your needs.

The sad thing here is there are not a lot of golfers taking advantage of this top notch practice facility.

They also have a challenging nine hole golf course designed by Dale Butler, the same man who designed 11 holes at the Brockville Country Club when it expanded from nine to 18 holes.

What better way to challenge your practice session than to put what you practiced into play on the golf course.

This season the Tincap facility is offering Range Memberships for $250 plus HST. It entitles you to hit two buckets of balls a day. When you figure it out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great deal.

For the golfer who wants to work on all aspects of their game, the Tincap practice facility is your one-stop shopping experience.

To describe this facility in a little more detail, I will tell you that their practice green is well sloped to challenge both your putting and chipping skills.

There are two sand traps around that green, one with a high lip and one with

area golf courses. They just need to be rolled from time to time to get their speed more comparable to the other local courses. Other than that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-1 facility.

If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced at Tincap, go out and experience it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet your game will certainly benefit from it.

J R Ryan, CGTF Level Three Golf Instructor, teaches exclusively at the Tincap Golf Course. You can reach J R at 613-345-1390 or by e-mail at jrryan@bell.net.

a moderate lip. The sand in both these traps is good quality.

The pitching area is unique, it features itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own separate grass area with targets measured at 30, 60 and 90 yards.

The nice thing about this grass area, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually cut at fairway length. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game-like conditions.

The full swing area features a wide target area with 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 yard markers to aim at. And if you want to work on your driving you certainly have a generous area and gamelike conditions to work with as well.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual to see Prescott Golf Course members use the Tincap facility from time to time as their courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving range prohibits them from hitting drivers. Also BCC members have been spotted using the facility from time to time as well.

If there is a knock on the Tincap faSubmitted photo cility it would be that the range balls should be upgraded more often to keep This is the pitching practice area. them fresh. The practice green is much One can notice the 30, 60 and 90 slower than the greens on the other yard targets.

High speed on the high seas EMC Sports - All right, so maybe not quite the high seas. Gates on Blockhouse Island opened at 5 p.m., Friday June 28 with music, food and craft vendors present, all there for the sixth Canadian National Championship Hydroplane Races on the St. Lawrence. Hydroplane racers from all over North America descended on Centeen Park which was transformed into a pit area for the competitors for the sixth annual 1000 Islands International Regatta and Festival. At 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, the engine roared and racing began with 1.5 liter, 2.5 liter H350 and Grand Prix qualifying heats throughout the day. This process was repeated on Sunday, June 30 with the last round of qualification heats, consolation heats and the finals. A great weekend for drivers, visitors and racing fans. Above: As the green flag was waved, the hydroplane drivers accelerated into the first turn close to Blockhouse Island, all jockeying for a spot in front. These racers can hit speeds of 170 miles per hour on the water. Right: It is not unusual to see a woman at the controls of a crane at hydroplane races who are responsible for safely lifting the boats from the river’s edge. Below: Sunday was not a good day for hydroplane driver Eric Langevin of Mercier, Quebec as his CS12, Longshot was not able to finish the race. Langevin was towed back to the pits when the race finished.

Danny O’Brien and Shane Pecore claim Ogilvie’s Triple Crown victories at Brockville EMC Sports - After wet rainy weather last weekend the Brockville Ontario Speedway was blessed with warm temperatures and some great racing action. Round 2 of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown for the Modified and Sportsman was the main attraction and the fans were treated to an exciting night.

In the 50-lap event for the 358 Modifieds Bobby Herrington and Stephane Lafrance led the field of 19 cars to the green and Herrington flexed his muscle early on by taking the top spot away leaving Stephane Lafrance, Danny O’Brien, Bryan Rogers and Pat O’Brien to battle for the top 5 positions. The bottom of the speedway was the place to be on this night as Herrington had the perfect line leading the opening four laps.

The first yellow flew on lap 5 as Andy Lloyd slowed off the back stretch. On the restart Danny O’Brien started to charge to the head of the class. After battling with Herrington he took the lead on lap 10 and started to open up a commanding

advantage over Herrington, Lafrance, Kyle Dingwall and Lee Gill. As Danny O’Brien entered lapped traffic Kyle Dingwall was able to get the number 2 spot away from Herrington in turn 1 just before halfway, leaving Lafrance, Pat O’Brien and Gill to complete the top 5.

From laps 19 through 30 the fans were treated to some great racing as Herrington, Gill and Lafrance put on a show trading 3rd, 4th and 5th several times. On lap 35 Gill cleared everyone and was in pursuit of the top 2 drivers, but a caution on lap 37 would bunch the field up.

When the green returned Danny O’Brien continued his great run as Dingwall had to fend off Gill for the second position. The final yellow flew on lap 43 for Jason Riddell who spun in turn 4 after contact with Joe Banks. On the final restart Danny O’Brien jumped out in front and would lead the final 7 laps as he scored his third win of the season as Lee Gill nipped Kyle Dingwall for second at the line. Pat O’Brien and Bobby

Annual Champions for Kids Foundation Golf Tournament and Raffle raise $55,000 EMC News – The sixth annual Champions for Kids Foundation Charity Golf Tournament raised $55,000 Wednesday, July 3 to help kids from disadvantaged families enjoy a better childhood.

The tournament and associated auctions generated about $35,000 for the foundation, while a raffle offering a first prize of a 2013 Jeep Wrangler raised another $20,000, said David K. Thomas, president of the foundation.

The annual tournament, held this year at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club, attracted 160 golfers who enjoyed a barbecue lunch, longest-drive contest, a hole-in-one contest and a dinner.

Thomas thanked golfers from across the eight counties served by the Upper Canada District School Board who enjoyed a day on the links to benefit the foundation and help area children. The foundation was established in January 2008 to raise funds so children from disadvantaged families can enjoy sports and arts activities, and to help their parents cover associated costs of obtaining medical care for them such as travel and parking expenses. Since its founding, Champions has raised more than $700,000.

“We have touched hundreds of chil-

dren’s lives by making their childhood better,” Thomas told those gathered for the tournament. “We have helped them play soccer, paid for dance lessons or helped kids attend summer camp. By helping us today, you are improving those lives and adding wonder to childhood by providing experiences they will remember for years to come.”

The award for top team in the tournament went to the foursome of Ray Lumsden, Bill Lumsden, Kevin Beattie and Keith Fraser. The four were each given a sports bag as a prize.

A highlight of the night was the Champions raffle which offered a 2013 Jeep Wrangler as the top prize, as well as a family trip for four to Disney World and a 50-inch flat screen television. The draw generated about $20,000 for Champions. John Barr and Jamie Carr, two board employees from St. Lawrence Secondary School, won the Jeep, while the trip to Florida was won by Mark Davy of Johnstown, and the television went to Dick Mulligan of Cornwall.

The night finished with the live and silent auctions, featuring a range of prizes from one-night stays at the Ambassador Conference Resort, to a hand-made chest, a gazebo, barbecues and a variety of gift certificates.

Herrington rounded out the top 5.

In the Sportsman portion of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown, Shane Pecore and former track champion Dylan Evoy led the field to the green in the 40-lap contest with Pecore grabbing the top spot into turn 1. Pecore has been on a rail in 2013 at “The BOS” and was looking to keep his hot streak alive as he powered away to over a straightaway lead by lap 10 with Evoy, Steve Barber, Chris Herbison and Jon Mills rounding out the top 5.

Aaron Pugh lost the handle on his car in turn 4 on lap 14 bringing out the yellow for the first time. On the restart Pecore continued his assault on the field but the lady on the move was Jessica Power. After starting in the ninth position she quickly moved to the fourth spot just past the halfway point of the event after a great battle with two-time champion Chris Herbison.

Pecore continued to lead with Barber 2nd on lap 26 and just behind them Power continued her march to the front

as she battled with Evoy for the next 10 laps until a caution flew for Dana Aikins who lost a motor in turn 4. With a 3 lap dash to the finish Pecore knew the restart was key. As the green came out Pecore was able to scoot away by three car lengths and that was all he needed to score his fifth win of the year over Barber, Evoy, Power and Herbison.

In Rookie Sportsman action Jasmine David and Josh Powers led the field to the stripe and would race side by side into turn 1. The yellow would come out quickly for David however as she experienced problems with her race car.

On the restart Chris Bakker jumped out in front and was looking to win his first ever Sportsman race. Bakker led the first 10 laps but the man on the charge was Tristan Draper. After graduating from the karting ranks Draper was looking for his second win in the Rookie Sportsman class. With two to go Bakker’s handling started to go away and Draper took advantage of a small mistake by Bakker in turn 1 to grab the lead

away and go on to his second ever win over Bakker, Richard Raison, Jamie Young, and Josh Powers The Street Stock division had one of the quickest races as Steve Kearney and Danny Mocibob started on the front row but it was Kearney leading the field into turn 1. Kevin Fetterly Jr. was on the charge after starting in the 4th position. The three-time and defending track champion was in pursuit of his first win of 2013 and took the lead away from Kearney just before the halfway point.

Fetterly kept up a torrid pace until lap 13 when Dominic Gauvreau spun bringing out the only yellow of the event. On the restart Alex Gagnon and Kearney tried to close in but Fetterly was too strong on this night as he scored his first win of 2013 over Gagnon, Kearney, Darrick Eaton and Brock Cullen.

This week Polite Sand and Gravel will be on hand with the 358 Modifieds Street Stock and Rookies plus a 20 lap enduro. The Sportsman have the night off. The green flag drops at 7 p.m.
