EMC News – On Wednesday, Aug. 29 seven teams showed they have plenty of ‘Heart ’.

The RCB IS (Regional Community Brain Injury Services) Brain Busters, Sears Sluggers, Health on Wheels (Health Unit), Multiple Sclerosis, Procter and Gamble, Good Time, Ultimate Dental and Tina ’s Golden Comb all rode the Heart and Stroke Big Bike.

Along with their pledges and under sunny skies, each group member climbed aboard the bike in the Walmart parking lot in Brockville to ride a route around the north end.

This event raised more than $11,600, but to everyone ’s astonishment, $5,116 was collected by one person, volunteer fundraiser and secret rider Debbie Cozens.

Prior to the rst team leaving the parking lot with Coz-

ens aboard, people gathered meeting people. ” The reason Cozens chose close to the Big Bike to hear the announcement of the to help, as well as ride, with the Heart and Stroke Big Bike amount Cozens had raised.

Being a very good friend of fundraiser is because her father and a good Ken Gottfried, friend, Penny, Cozens wanted “I had friends, have had heart Gottfried to issues. She has open the enve- relatives, seen the wonlope containing neighbours derful medical the amount on a care they repiece of paper. donate and then ceived and she As the excite- I went door to feels proud that ment mounted, she can help.

Gottfried an- door.”

“I do a lot of nounced the DEBBIE COZENS walking during $5,116, noting FUNDRAISER the summer as that Cozens had surpassed last year ’s amount I enjoy it, ” admitted Cozens.

There were several people of $4,500.

When asked how Cozens who gave Cozens encouragraised the funds, she replied ing words while collecting, she did so by walking around like ‘keep up the good work ’, or “I know you are going to Brockville.

“I had friends, relatives, do it ’ (better her old record neighbours donate and then I of $4,500). This support even went door to door, ” said Coz- propelled Cozens to strive for ens. “I always carry my sheet a little bit more to surpass last on me in my pouch and I like year ’s amount.

Cozens enjoys meeting people and listening to their personal stories about themselves or their relatives who have had heart disease.

“I ’d rather meet people face to face, ” said Cozens.

In fact, some people have asked if they will see her next year to collect for the Heart and Stroke Foundation as they don ’t want to be missed.

Cozens said it was her daughter ’s friend who introduced her to walking for a cause, when she and her daughter, both participated in the Mother/Daughter Walk many years ago.

“Last year, I was the top fundraiser for Canada with $4500, ” shared Cozens.

As the announcement came to an end, Cozens did admit that she bought a brand new pair of sandals to wear on Wednesday for the ride as her old ones were worn out from all the walking.

EMC News – Over the past three decades, writers have spent countless hours trying to describe the incredible athletic and humanitarian efforts of Terry Fox. How did he run a marathon a day for 143 days on an articial leg? How did he overcome the pain, the loneliness, the exhaustion, the rain, sleet, heat and snow?

Today, so many years after his death, Canadians still talk about Terry ’s courage, his determination, his perseverance, his character, his spirit, his strength. He has become a role model, a hero, an icon.

But these inspirational traits attributed to Terry are not his alone. Every September, examples of courage, spirit and determination can be found at every Terry Fox Run in Ontario. Participants, also known as Terry Foxers, support the Run because of very personal reasons. They embody the same traits often reserved for discussions of Terry; they are determined, courageous, compassionate, and instilled with an unwavering desire to bring an end to cancer.

There are several Terry Fox Run events throughout the Leeds & Grenville area coming up on Sunday, Sept. 16.

In Brockville, participants will gather at the track at Thousand Islands Secondary School. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. with the start at 1 p.m. that afternoon. Walkers, runners, bicyclists, rollerbladers and those in wheelchairs are all encouraged to join in.

The route lengths are 5k and 10k.

Prescott ’s Run has been conrmed for the Kinsmen Amphitheatre at the Sandra S. Lawn Harbour Marina. This event, which features routes of 2k, 5k and 10k, will have an open start between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Delta also hosts a run Sept.

16. It features an open start between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Delta Fairgrounds. A barbecue will follow. Participants are invited to complete the 1k,

EMC News - This past Tuesday the Canadian Cancer Society in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville launched Wheels of Hope, an annual fundraising campaign that will help raise much needed money for its local transportation program.

“The need for assistance with drives is growing day by day.

There are more and more patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, approaching the Society with requests for rides to treatment. In fact, we are averaging about 24 new clients each and every month, ” says Jan Hopkins, Unit President. “These new clients ’ needs must be met, along with the other 1,032 clients already on le with our ofce, ” adds Hopkins.

Wheels of Hope provides patients in need of cancer treatment with a ride to the facility where their particular treatment is offered. Last year alone, the Society ’s 79 volunteer drivers drove an amazing 318,212 kilometres to ensure that local cancer patients got to their life-saving treatment.

The program is especially important to people without vehicles, a driver ’s licence, local family and friends to help, or the nancial means to make the sometimes daily trips to Kingston or Ottawa.

“When a family member gets diagnosed with cancer, it ’s a huge relief to not have to worry about getting them to treatment.

With busy schedules, work and family obligations, being able to call on the Society, it ’s a big relief to everyone, ” says Hopkins.

The transportation program is especially vital in rural communities since many clients must travel outside of the area for treatment. The Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society covers such a large area; Pakenham to Brockville, west to Gananoque and east to Kemptville, patients must travel to Kingston, Ottawa, Winchester and occasionally Toronto for treatment.

The average cost for the Canadian Cancer Society to take a patient from Lanark, Leeds & Grenville to their treatment is just over $60 a trip due to the long distances traveled. It is not an understatement to say that some people would literally not be able to make it to treatment without this vital program. These long distances make for added costs, leaving this community in one of the greatest needs throughout the province.

Typically the average cancer treatment lasts seven weeks, requiring a minimum of 14 trips. With the average cost of taking one patient to a round trip treatment being $60, seven weeks of treatment would cost $840. Last year, the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit lled 3,229 requests for rides, resulting in a cost of $94,856.

“When the transportation program began, it cost the province just over $1 million to provide services. With an aging population, this program has grown to an expense of over $6 million for the Society, with no decline in sight, ” says Leanne Waddell, Manager of the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit. “Keeping this much-needed service in the community is a high priority for the Society; however for this to happen we desperately need sponsors and donors to support it nancially. ” If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can donate to the Wheels of Hope program at www.cancer.ca/perth or by calling (613) 267-1058 or 1 800 367-2913.

About the Canadian Cancer Society The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. When you want to know more about cancer, visit www.cancer.ca or call the bilingual Cancer Information Service, toll-free, at 1 888 939-3333.

Teenager uses portion of paycheque to buy children items for BGH Art Cart

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News - On Friday morning, Aug. 31, Jenna O ’Reilly along with her mother, Tracey walked in the Brockville General Hospital with a huge basket of at least 65 child-related items such as toys, puzzles, crayons, colouring books and markers to donate to the Art Cart.

Seventeen year-old Jenna works at Staples and with part of her paycheque, she bought children ’s supplies for Kingston General Hospital ’s program. So when she read an article in the newspaper about the Brockville General Hospi-

“The Art Cart is a mobile cart full of games and activities, ” says volunteer coordinator, Brockville General Hospital Volunteer Association, Cheryl Marshall.

The items in the cart are for the youth who are in the hospital waiting to be examined, have been admitted or are waiting with parents for whatever reason.

When asked why she decided to do this, she admitted to being a frequent visitor to the hospital.

“I ’m accident prone and

know what it is like to be in the hospital, ” offered Jenna. “For me when I was in the hospital it was long and boring. It ’s always nice to have something to take your mind off why you are here. ” Jenna feels that we can all make a difference for children in the hospital by giving them something to do, regardless of whether they are a patient, visiting or waiting patiently.

The purpose of the Art Cart is to alleviate the anxiousness a youngster may be feeling about their medical condition or while waiting; to engage them in

Brockville residents focus on kidney health during Give the Gift Life Walk Supporters will come together on Sunday, Sept. 9 at Hardy Park EMC Events – Local residents whose lives have been affected by kidney disease are walking to increase awareness of a cause very close to them, while raising funds to support The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Dialysis patients, transplant recipients, living donors, families, friends and renal professionals in Brockville are part of an even larger movement across the province, with more than 40 communities participating in September.

Approximately 1.5 million Ontarians have, or are at increased risk of developing, kidney disease. There is no cure – patients with end-stage renal disease rely on life-saving dialysis treatments several times a week, and many join thousands of Canadians waiting for a kidney transplant.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada funds leading kidney research projects, peer support programs, emergency nancial assistance and advo-

cacy on behalf of kidney patients to help ease the burden of the disease.

Give the Gift of Life Walks are one of the largest community fundraisers for The Kidney Foundation in Ontario.

Nearly 2,000 people across the province participated in 2011, raising more than $500,000. With events scheduled until the end of September, participants have already raised more than 25 per cent of that goal.

The Kidney Foundation appreciates the support of participants, donors, provincial sponsor CTS, and the many local organizations and businesses that sponsor community walks.

In Brockville, participants will gather this Sunday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. at Hardy Park. For more information, to register or to donate, please visit www.kidneywalk. ca or contact: Craig Dunbar 1-800-724-9953 ext.

Colleges and faculty reach tentative agreement EMC News – There will be no disruption to classes this fall at Ontario ’s 24 colleges.

It was announced last week that a tentative agreement has been reached with 10,000 college faculty. “This is great news for our students, faculty and the colleges, as it secures a new contract for two years and removes the threat of a strike, ” said Sonia Del Missier, Chair of the Colleges ’ Bargaining Team. “Both sides bargained hard and came to a settlement that is reasonable to faculty and affordable for the colleges. ”

Terms of tentative agreement: • two-year deal – Sept. 1, 2012 to Aug. 31, 2014, • faculty salaries would be frozen, • eligible faculty would still move through the grid, • all benets would remain untouched, • the offer asks for no concessions from faculty.

“Students are relieved to hear that their education and training will not be jeopardized this academic year due to a faculty strike, ” said Ciara

Byrne, President of the College Student Alliance. “This news could not have come at a better time, now students will be able to move forward without having any interruptions this school year. We applaud the Council and OPSEU for reaching a tentative agreement prior to the start of the school year. ” After nearly three months of bargaining, both the Council and OPSEU have reached a tentative agreement. The details of the agreement will not be released until after rati-

cation, which has yet to be scheduled. “This news is a win for everyone, ” says Tyler Epp, Director of Advocacy of the CSA. “Students, faculty and administration can now focus on academics. We are happy that a tentative agreement has been reached. ” The CSA has been providing up-to-date unbiased information through www.collegebargaining.ca, a website that was built for student associations across Ontario to provide bargaining updates to their students.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

United Way kicks off campaign Sept. 12

Every donation counts, CBS says

DEAR EDITOR: On Wednesday, Sept. 12 the United Way Leeds & Grenville will host its 55th annual kick-off of its community campaign with a breakfast at CJ ’s Banquet Hall in Brockville, starting at 7:15 a.m.

This year our goal is $1,030,000 and staff, cabinet and board have worked for the past seven months pulling together a plan that will position us for success.

We are excited to announce that we will have our National President and CEO, Dr. Jacline Abray-Nyman as our guest speaker for our breakfast. Dr. Abray-Nyman recently joined our organization in May of this year and she has quickly become an outstanding leader in our movement.

The Board of Directors, staff and cabinet members look forward to seeing you at this special event.

DEAR EDITOR: It could be someone you know undergoing heart surgery who will need up to ve units, someone with leukemia who can require eight units a week during treatment, or someone who has been in a car accident that may need as many as 50 units. This is why every donation counts and why the need for blood is ongoing.

For more information, please visit www.blood.ca.

The next local blood donor clinic takes place on Monday, Sept. 24, 1:30-3:30 p.m. and 5-8 p.m. at St. Mark ’s Parish Hall, 461 Edward St. in Prescott. This clinic is sponsored by the Grenville Fish and Game Club and the Kinsmen Club of Prescott.

To book an appointment, call 1-888-2DONATE or visit the website.

Thank you again for your support and dedication to the blood system.

Play it safe on area roadways EMC Editorial - It ’s back to school again for youngsters and teens in the area.

While the summer seems to have own by in the blink of an eye, it ’s time once again to think about just what back to school means.

Earlier mornings, packing the children up hopefully after having a nutritious breakfast, and heading out for the morning commute. Or getting your little ones to the bus stop to await their ride.

There are many messages for parents and for drivers as the school season ramps up again, from how important breakfast is to ensuring safety around school buses.

According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, those who do not stop for a school bus will pay between $400 and $2,000 and will be impacted by six demerit points. This is just for a rst-time offence. For any subsequent offence, nes of between $1,000 and $4,000, six demerit points and possible jail time of up to six months will be doled out as punishment.

It is important for those in vehicles to know that regardless of where they are - a busy street, highway, county road, they must stop when a school bus is stopped with its upper red lights ashing. A ashing stop arm will also swing out while youth are either boarding or exiting the bus. Do not continue to drive until the stop arm folds back and the lights have stopped ashing.

Students are also asked to be careful when crossing the roadway to get on or off the bus. They should rst look both ways and then walk, not run, to their parent or caregiver who is picking them up at the side of the road.

Before the bus even arrives students are reminded to stay safe while waiting. The ministry notes children should not play in ditches or snowbanks. And once the bus arrives, they should enter in single le, nd a seat and face forward during the entire ride.

With the doors opening wide to welcome students back in less than a week, we ask parents, drivers and children to play it safe before and after they get off the bus.

Children preferred Father’s style of punishment EMC Lifestyle - We much preferred Father over Mother when it came to mete out discipline. Father was so soft hearted, he could never come to give us a swat even if we deserved it.

Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans, and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to dole it out too. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert. ” This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we ve kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap, and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy, and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost

mortally wounded from the blows that never came!

My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days.

Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious ght of all time. It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson ’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent

bystander, square on the backside. It didn ’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand, I nonetheless started to roar as if I had been hit with a two by four!

It didn ’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement.

Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass, and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken!

Father, if he heard the ruck-

He walked, lling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door.

“Have to run over to Briscoe ’s, ” he said through the screen. “Mary ’s coming with me. And they ’ve all been dealt with, ” he added over his shoulder.

Mother seemed satised. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she, “Could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don ’t have the energy to handle all ve of them. ” And for that, we ve kids were mighty grateful!

Motorists reminded to watch roadways for school buses

ported daily in school buses that travel 1.9 million kilometres every school day. Although injuries to school bus passengers are rare, they most often happen outside the bus as students are boarding and leaving the bus or crossing the street.

Remember these tips: •• Be at the school bus stop on time. •• Wait in a safe place well back from the edge of the road. •• Do not play in ditches or on snow banks. •• Enter the bus in single ďƒžle holding the hand rail. •• Find a seat right away and stay seated facing forward at all times. •• Do not place things in the

aisle. •• Avoid rowdy behaviour; do not throw things or eat or drink. •• Keep your arms and head inside the bus. •• Never distract the bus driver; always follow his or her instructions. •• When you leave the bus, move away from the side; if you can touch the bus, you are too close. •• If you drop something near the bus, never try to pick it up because it’’s quite likely the bus driver can’’t see you.

Ask an adult or the driver to help.

When crossing the street to get on or off the bus: •• Walk at least 10 big steps in front of the bus, along the

tive, it must be worn correctly, snug and on the upper thighs.

Because school vehicles carry passengers from the very young to high school students, if seat belts were used, they would need to be readjusted and their use monitored. A seat belt not worn correctly may cause serious injuries.

Many of our children walk to school and motorists should beware of the increased pedestrian trafďƒžc around our local schools, as children make their way for their ďƒžrst exciting day. Reduced speeds in some school zones will again be in affect, so beware, we’’ll be watching.

bus design provides a high level of protection to occupants and that seatbelts may actually adversely affect the safety of children on school buses (Transport Canada).

Instead of requiring seat belts, school buses are designed and constructed differently from passenger cars.

School buses protect passengers through ““compartmentalization,”â€? a design that includes: seats with high backs, seats ďƒžlled with energy-absorbing material, seats placed close together to form compartments, and strong seat anchorages.

Studies have shown that adding seat belts to the current seating conďƒžguration of a school bus can increase the chance of head and neck injuries. For a seat belt to be effec-

Parents –– what makes a school bus safe Ontario regulations require buses be driven by speciallytrained, licensed drivers with good driving records. School buses must meet safety standards established by Transport Canada, including the recent addition of a requirement for a front safety crossing arm.

Why no seat belts? Information from all types of school bus collisions demonstrates that the current school

EMC News - It’’s important to know that vehicle owners can be charged if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus. Fines range from $400 to $2,000. The following information comes from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

Drivers –– always stop for the bus: Whether on a city street, highway or county road, and regardless of the speed limit and the number of lanes, motorists travelling in both directions must stop when approaching a stopped school bus with its upper red lights ďƒ&#x;ashing. A ďƒ&#x;ashing stop arm will swing out while passengers are boarding or leaving the bus. (The only exception: on highways separated by a median, trafďƒžc coming from the opposite direction is not required to stop). Once all passengers have boarded, the stop arm will fold away. Do not start moving until the red lights have stopped ďƒ&#x;ashing and the bus begins to move.

Penalties for not stopping: the ďƒžrst offence is a $400 to $2,000 ďƒžne and six demerit points; and each subsequent offence, $1,000 to $4,000, six demerit points and possible jail time up to six months.

Kids –– staying safe on and around the bus: School bus travel is extremely safe. In Ontario, over 800,000 students are trans-

Aging Expedition could benefit from diagnostic scan EMC Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, My basic question is whether oxygen sensors have a nite lifespan? My specics: 1998 Expedition with a 5.4 L V8, bought new, 365,000 km, check engine light on and a bunch of codes. It seems like whenever we clear them they sprout new ones like weeds.

To resolve a previous intermittent misre/stall when put into reverse problem the shop tried additive and I subsequently took off the intake manifold and cleaned what I could, replaced the Idle air control valve as well as replacing the fuel injectors. Replacing the injectors resulted in marked improvement of mileage. We notice an intermittent stumble at idle or constant

low rpm which can be cleared by kicking down the transmission (check engine light does not ash). The codes I get are: P0174- bank 2 too lean P1451- evap system vent control circuit P0133- bank 1 sensor 1 slow response P0153bank 2 sensor 1 slow response P0155- bank 2 sensor 1 heater circuit P1151- sensor indicates lean P1152- sensor indicates rich. The vehicle is a keeper and we have done

all the scheduled maintenance to the book and beyond. Our guys at the garage are a decent sort and don ’t seem to want to start a ‘snark hunt ’. Do you have any suggestions on how to pull some of these weeds out of the garden? ” Holger At over 365,000 km and 15 years of age, more than a few sensors and circuits on this Ford may have exceeded their lifespan. First, oxygen sensors don ’t last forever and most are retired due to carbon and soot build up on their tips as they are constantly exposed to the exhaust stream from the engine. Your Expedition has four of them (costing around $90 each) and judging from the diagnostic trouble codes

you ’re getting, they are denitely suspect. But, and this is a big but, before I ’d recommend changing any more sensors or components on this vehicle, I ’d have a diagnostic scan done with test equipment that can actually display the sensor ’s activities rather than just a trouble code. These types of scanners are quite common and can save a lot of time and money when it comes to check engine light repairs.

If the oxygen sensors are due for replacement and are not attended to, the chances are very good that the catalytic convertor(s) will be damaged due to excessive fueling, not to mention being unable to pass an emission test to renew the license tags. The lean running

codes might be due to an intake leak, which isn ’t uncommon on this engine considering its age and mileage and the evaporative vent codes could either be a malfunctioning control valve, or porous vacuum lines or poor wiring.

Knowing that solving all these problems might involve parts and labour costs approaching $1,000 or more, I ’d suggest having a complete inspection done on the vehicle to assess what else might be sprouting up in terms of future repairs to gain a more complete picture of the nancial feasibility of keeping this ‘keeper ’ in the family. Mechanical systems aside, the biggest risk to your pocket book with this vehicle will be due to corrosion.

If it isn ’t sheet metal or undercarriage frame members it will be body and engine wiring that will succumb to the ravages of our addiction to road salt.

September 9 is Grandparents ’ Day, a time to be thankful for the important role grandmothers and grandfathers play in the family structure. Your children might know their grandparents mostly as babysitters or, perhaps, as distant gures who live quietly. They might not know that Gran and Gramps or Oma and Opa or Nana and Nonny are wicked story tellers or former whizzes at cards! Why not ar-

range a knowledge summit for Grandparents ’ Day where these talents can be appreciated and passed on for posterity.

trick they ’ve kept hidden up their sleeve. Was Grammy known for her graceful swan dive in her younger days?

Maybe a trip to the pool will result in a demonstration. Was Grampa a ferocious softball pitcher? Head out to the ball diamond together. Was he the best small motor mechanic on the block? Dress your child in play clothes and let him or her help Grandad tune up the lawnmower motor.

Even better, suggest a

“workshop ” on old-fashioned play. Many of the common school yard games from as few as 20 years ago have been lost to time.

Invite Gran to teach the kids some old skipping or clapping songs, ball games, and hopscotch variations.

Ian Black has been a weather watcher since he was six years old. He remembers sitting on his front porch with his mother watching an approaching thunderstorm. He was so amazed by what he saw that he went to the library - on his own - and read everything he could ďƒžnd about thunderstorms. The next time a storm approached, he told his mom that they should go inside ““because it’’s not safe to be outside with lightning.”â€?

Ian turned his weather interest into a career and today compiles all the weather forecasts for CBC radio and television news in Ottawa. He’’s also a weather ““tweeter”â€? seven days a week. He’’s the only certiďƒžed Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society climatologist in Ottawa and his viewers and listeners know that he’’s not afraid to make the call when his forecast is different from what the other experts are predicting.

Hopefully, he’’ll be calling for good weather for the Spencer-

Summer Company students wrap up successful season EMC News – Another successful Leeds and Grenville Small Business Centre Summer Company class wrapped up for 2012 at C.J. ’s Banquet Hall and Catering in Brockville, on Thursday, Aug. 23.

Eleven new entrepreneurs ventured into the world of business for the summer and are now returning to school or going onto college or continuing in university.

“It really happened; those three months, ” said excited pet groomer Lisa Van Rijswijk of Brockville. “It seems like such an amazing journey. ” Upon entering the program, Van Rijswijk didn ’t possess the condence needed to be an entrepreneur, but with her classes, mentors and ongoing support of family, she now knows she can own a protable business.

“I have become this person who is not afraid to talk on the telephone, not afraid of going up to people, talking to them about my business and what I do, ” explained Van Rijswijk.

“I can do this. ” Van Rijswijk ran Lisa ’s Pet Grooming which provided grooming for both dogs and cats. As fall approaches, Van Rijskwijk will be returning to Nipissing University in Thunder Bay to pursue her Bachelor Degree in Sociology.

As for Classy Cuts Lawncare ’s Andrew McManaman, he was at a loss at the beginning of the summer regarding his lawn care and landscaping service he wanted to offer in Kemptville.

“The rst time the participants all sat down together, ” offered McManaman, “nobody really knew what to expect and it was an interesting

experience. We all kept to ourselves and tried not to embarrass ourselves on the rst day. By the end of the day, we were trying out our elevator speeches (30-second speech to sell a product or service).

If you were to listen to my elevator speech now compared to early summer you would notice a huge difference. They are nothing alike. ” As a proud business owner McManaman couldn ’t say enough positive comments regarding this program and what it has done for him.

Come fall and sporting a tan, McManaman, will be going to Algonquin College in Ottawa to take the Media and Communications Program.

Van Rijswijk, McManaman and nine others received hands-on business training and mentoring like 483 Ontario participants who successfully

The Aquatarium’s Magedoma exhibit: Visit the gilded age!

Experience offers virtual visits to iconic 1000 Islands locations and even “back in time”

The cabin of the Magedoma, built back in 1901, will be recreated for visitors to the Aquatarium. side ” where he converses with a dock hand and they throw the lines off. The people in the room have the impression that they are on a boat and leaving the dock. They hear the conversations, engine sounds and a bell or whistle.

As they move out into open water the Captain says something like “Well look who is here ” as he looks backward, “it ’s Gady ”. Gady pulls

up under power and parallels the Magedoma as the Captain talks about her. Then on the other windows, Zipper approaches and the Captain says “Look at her ” as he crosses around to look closer. Zipper does a loop away and comes back as the Captain explains what kind of boat Zipper is.

Everyone in Zipper is in period costume as well. The captain says “And here comes

Singer Castle, our destination for this trip ”. Singer comes into view and the captain explains who built it and when as the Magedoma approaches the dock. Period dressed dock hands appear and catch the lines.

He says “This is a great place to visit, even today so when you ’ve nished your visit at the Aquatarium, why not take a boat from Brockville and visit. Or head over to Clayton and the Antique Boat Museum and actually book a ride out on the River in Gady, Zipper or any other number of classic Woodys!

You ’ll nd all the information at the electronic brochure wall on the main level. The windows “fog up ” and words appear on screen “Next Trip – Half Moon Bay ”.

Visitor Takeaways: The Magedoma Experience will take visitors back in history to the Gilded Age. They will learn about boat building history, experience a simulated trip aboard the126 foot luxury steam yacht. They will also be provided with information on RiverQuest partner destinations including the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York. The call to action will be to visit the electronic

brochure wall.

Brief History of the Magedoma: The luxury steam yacht was built in 1901 and purchased by wealthy Brockville businessman George Taylor Fulford in 1904.

The 126 foot (38 meter) vessel was moored at the base of the cliff, south of Fulford Place, on the St. Lawrence River in Brockville. Below, the vessel is shown in her heyday, on the St. Lawrence: The yacht was built at the Pusey and Jones Shipyard in Wilmington, Delaware. Its rst owner was Michigan lumber mogul Charles Caneld, who named the yacht Cangarda, a combination of his name and that of his wife Belle Gardner.

When Fulford purchased the vessel, he rechristened it The Magedoma, after his family (MAry, GEorge, DOrothy, MArtha).

The Aquatarium (formerly known as the Maritime Discovery Centre) is a $20 million, 27,000 square foot tourist attraction to be located on Brockville ’s waterfront alongside the Tall Ships Landing condominium development.

The Aquatarium is a publicprivate partnership with the City of Brockville.

Next year visitors to the 1000 Islands region ’s newest tourist attraction will be able to board the cabin of a 1901 yacht and travel to various destinations including Singer Castle.

The Aquatarium ’s Magedoma Exhibit promises to take visitors back to the Gilded Age to experience a simulated cruise aboard the famous steamship that was purchased in 1904 by wealthy Brockville businessman George T. Fulford.

Tourists will experience the feeling of being on a moving boat complete with rocking movement and river sounds as they travel to a destination they select such as Singer Castle, Boldt Castle or Half Moon Bay.

City of Brockville proclaims Aug. 31 as Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Day trade as one of its cornerstones, especially with the exchange of Trinidad rum for the codsh (salt sh) from the Maritimes.

Tourism is now become a booming industry.

On Monday, Aug. 27, the following individuals attended the raising of the flag of Trinidad in downtown Brockville. From left to right are Bailey Lambert, Grady Emo, Krishendaye Kowlessar Emo, Colin Dalrymple, Dave Andrews, Jason Emo, Shannon Jadoo, Steve Jadoo, Henry De Souza and Larry Kowlessar. This recognition is of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’s Golden Anniversary of Independence.

The red colour in the flag represents the vigour of the land in Trinidad and Tobago, the friendliness and courage of its people and the sun. The black horizontal stripe references the unity and strength of the people, as well as the natural wealth of the country. As for the white, it represents the surrounding sea and the purity and equality of all people under the sun. Together these colours symbolize the earth, water and fire, which connects the nation’s people to the past, present and future. loss of bloodshed.

“Legend has it that Columbus, sighting the three sisters (three hills), was reminded of his promise to God and named the island “La Trinity ” (Trinidad), ” said Kowlessar. “The island remained a British colony, a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations like Barbados and Jamaica until 1962, when all three became independent. ” The Proclamation of Independence was signed on Aug. 31, 1962 and the national ag was chosen, a unique design with a diagonal stripe of contrasting colours of black, white on red as well as the national anthem, Forged from the Love of Liberty.

The future looks promising for this growing nation and its national anthem encapsulates this ambitious goal.

“Forged from the love of liberty In the res of hope and prayer With boundless faith in our destiny …

God bless our nation ” “In 1965 the country became the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, ” said Kowlessar.

This small island (1,980 sq. miles) has a population of 1.3 million people with approximately 40 per cent being of Indian descent, and about 38 per cent of African descent.

The remainder is descendants of other countries.

Governing body “The country has a democratic government similar to that of Canada, ” he explained.

Her Excellency Kamla Persad Bissessar was recently elected

as Prime Minister with a majority government. She is the rst female Prime Minister and is well respected worldwide. ” Kowlessar feels that Persad Bissessar will provide the impetus of growth and development for the country.

The literacy rate is on the increase and the northern campus of the University of the West Indies (St. Augustine) is expanding with a southern branch under construction in south Trinidad (Debe).

Commerce “Agriculture is the mainstay of the island, ” added Kowlessar, “with the economy being boosted by its oil production. ” For many years Trinidad and Canada has enjoyed a friendly relationship with

EMC News – On, Monday, Aug. 27, the red, black and white ag of Trinidad was raised high above the railway tunnel at the entrance to Blockhouse Island with several Trinidadians on hand.

“This is in recognition of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago ’s Golden Anniversary of Independence, ” said Larry Kowlessar.

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is celebrating its golden jubilee of independence in 2012 and many celebrations have taken place while others are being planned.

In fact, the Trinidad High Commission is planning a commemorative book to highlight some of the Trinidadians presently living in Canada who have made a signicant contribution in their Canadian communities.

“Trinidad is in an evolutionary stage, ” said Kowlessar, “changing from a ‘massa ’ colonial country into a democratic republic. It has always been involved with sports and cricket, which was exported from England and is now its national sport. ” In 1976, Hasely Crawford won the island ’s rst ever Olympic gold medal at the Montreal Olympics in the men ’s 100 meters.

At the Atlanta Olympics of 1996, Alto Bolton took the bronze medal in the 200 meters. This year at the 2012 London Summer Olympics, Keshorn Walcott won the gold medal in the men ’s javelin throw, and three other bronze medals secured on the track, which earned Trinidad and Tobago the 47th spot in the medal table.

“But Brian Lara, a popular sportsman will be our world class cricketer for all times, ” said Kowlessar proudly.

20 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, September 6, 2012

St. Lawrence

MOVIE: Total Recall STARRING: Collin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, and Bryan Cranston DIRECTOR: Len Wiseman RATING: PG-13 EMC Entertainment It ’s easy to get so distracted by shiny objects that you don ’t think to question a lm ’s plot or internal logic.

Needless to say Total Recall is one very bright and shiny object.

In the future most of the Earth has been made uninhabitable by chemical warfare. The only places left are the United Federation of Britain and The Colony (Australia). The wealthy live in Britain and the working class live in The Colony. Travel between the two is achieved by ‘The Fall ’ a giant tube running through the centre of the earth.

Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) lives in The Colony, is married to Lori (Kate Beckinsale), and works in The Federation. At least that ’s what he believed until he went to Rekall. Rekall advertises that it can implant any memory into your mind, but when Doug decides to try it out things go wrong.

Suddenly Doug is taking out a police swat team, he ’s the most wanted man in The Colony, and his wife is trying to kill him. To make matters worse he may not even be Doug but a highranking member of a group of freedom ghters named Hauser. Doug is completely lost until Melina (Jessica Biel) comes out of nowhere to save him.

Doug or Hauser is a piece in a much larger game being played by Federation president Vilos Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston). With Melina ’s help Doug is determined to learn the truth of who he is, and put an end to Cohaagen ’s machinations. Only one question remains; is any of it even

My Take

MARK HASKINS

real?

Summer blockbusters aren ’t about internal logic, or the laws of physics, or even common sense.

They ’re about awesome special effects, breathtaking visuals and non-stop action which Total Recall has lots of. So there ’s no need to question how the main characters climb up the outside of ‘The Fall ’ while it ’s moving through the Earth. There ’s no need to ask why the giant army of robots built to invade Australia couldn ’t be used to clean up the chemical contamination of Europe.

Thankfully there ’s no need to ask these sorts of questions because Total Recall is just that cool.

It can ’t be easy to look dazed and confused, but still kick the snot out of the bad guys. It ’s a rare talent that Colin Farrell seems to have mastered. Douglas is by far a more physically demanding role than he is emotionally demanding, but that didn ’t stop Farrell from being great.

The women are the real show stoppers in this lm. Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale are outstanding delivering on two of the most intense action roles of the summer. They denitely raise the level of excitement for the movie.

The original Total Recall was a great summer blockbuster, and this new slicker re-make is no different. So long as you don ’t think too hard about what ’s happening Total Recall is fantastic summer fun.

Mark Haskins ’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Housing affordability in Ontario declines for second straight quarter EMC Business - Owning a home at market prices in Ontario took up a larger share of household income in the second quarter of 2012, according to the latest Housing Trends and Affordability Report issued Aug. 23 by RBC Economics. This is the second consecutive quarter during which most regions of Canada, including Ontario, have seen housing affordability deteriorate.

“Since 2009, Ontario ’s prospective homebuyers have been facing a modest upward trend in the share of income needed to cover homeownership costs. This strain is impacting single family homes in particular, where the costs of carrying a home have been hampered by strong appreciation in property values in Canada over the past year, ” said Robert Hogue, senior economist, RBC. “More recently, resale activity in the housing market has started to moderate in the province, with home prices easing somewhat on a month-to-month basis, although this is still uneven across local markets at this stage. ” RBC ’s housing affordability measures capture Ontario ’s proportion of pre-tax household income needed to service the costs of owning a home at the going market value. These measures modestly exceeded their long-term average for all housing categories in the province during the second quarter of 2012 (an increase represents deterioration in affordability).

The RBC measures for a standard two-storey home moved upward by 0.8 percentage points to 50.5 per cent, while the benchmark detached bungalow increased slightly by 0.3 percentage points to reach 43.9 per cent. Measures for standard condominium apartments increased the least, rising by 0.1 percentage points to 30.2 per cent.

Affordability in Ottawa holding steady Canada ’s capital saw no change in housing affordability in the most recent period - there was no movement in any of the housing categories tracked by RBC in the second quarter of 2012. Increases in income fully offset increases in mortgage payments, while changes in the cost of utilities and property taxes were negligible.

SECOND SECTION

Special ride for Special Olympics goes Saturday Kjackson@theemc.ca

EMC Events - It ’s that time of the year again, when a group of motorcycles will be roaring down local roads.

But fear not, this group has a “special ” reason for ganging up.

It ’s the annual Law Enforcement Torch Ride that raises awareness and funds for the Special Olympics in Ontario. The ride is scheduled for Sept. 8.

“It started three years ago in Kingston and we ’ve been growing it since then. This year it ’s grown big enough that the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police has put their approval on it, ” said organizer Mark Shipman. “(The association) wants it to fall under the umbrella of the Torch Run, which is the main fundraiser for the Special Olympics. ” Organized by law enforcement agencies, The Torch Run has been going for years

to raise money and awareness “The Torch Ride is just another avenue they can use to raise funds for the Special Olympics, ” said Shipman.

The ride starts at the Overtime Sports Bar and Grill at Bath and Gardiners Road in Kingston at 9 a.m., or as Shipman says kickstands go up then and they ’re off.

The group of dozens of motorcyclists will travel down Days Road to Front Road through town and over the causeway.

It continues on to Gananoque and to the Township of Leeds & the Thousand Islands almost to Brockville, snaking up north to Smiths Falls where there will be parade marshals to usher them in for a break at the local community centre.

From there they go to Perth and take the countryside back to Kingston.

The entire ride should take about four to ve hours.

The rst year the ride started there was just friends and family with about 10 bikes.

The second year the amount doubled to 20. They ’re expecting 100 in 2012.

MPP praises motion calling on auditor-general to review cancellation of Slots at Racetracks deal EMC News - Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark welcomed the passage of a motion in the Ontario Legislature on Thursday, Aug. 30 asking the Auditor General to review the gaming and casino plans of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG).

According to a press release, the review will include the government’’s decision to scrap the Slots at Racetracks program and the 60,000 jobs the industry supports across the province, including 1,000 or more in Leeds-Grenville.

The private member’’s motion, introduced by NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, also asked the Legislature to reconďƒžrm that a referendum must take place before any new casino is built in a municipality. ““I’’m pleased MPPs from all parties supported this resolution,”â€? said Clark, who spoke during the debate about the potentially negative impact of OLG’’s plans on the economy in Leeds-Grenville. ““We have 1,000 jobs or more at stake in the horse-racing industry and 400 full-time

jobs at Casino 1000 Islands,”�

Clark noted in the release. ““This review by the Auditor will ensure the government’’s plan gives the people of Ontario value for money and that all the facts are known before OLG and the government head down this path.”â€? ““The McGuinty government announced its plans to cancel the Slots at Racetracks agreement without consulting an industry that generates $2 billion of economic activity and supports some 60,000 jobs in Ontario –– most of it in rural parts of this province,”â€? explained Clark. ““Now, we’’ll bring in the Auditor to ďƒžnally get the answers the government has refused to provide.”â€?

During the debate Thursday, Clark pointed out a referendum was held prior to Casino 1000 Islands coming to Gananoque and Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township. ““I believe strongly that any municipality that wants to host a casino in the future must ensure its citizens have the same opportunity to make their feelings known through a referendum,”� said Clark.

Setting a record for Palliative Care

EMC News - It’s all smiles as Tom Blanchard, (left) Board Chair for the Brockville and District Hospital Foundation, gratefully accepts a cheque for $150,000 from the Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament Committee co-chairs Dave Publow (centre) and Jim Cooper (right). The 19th annual event held Aug. 29 blew past last year’s total of $140,000 funds raised to set an all new record. The Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament is one of the largest fundraising events to support local palliative care – the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service (BDHPCS) based at Brockville General Hospital. The BDHPCS promotes quality of life for people living with a life-limiting illness, and is available at both sites of the Brockville General Hospital, long-term care homes and retirement homes, and in-home within the community. The service receives no government funding, relying on the generosity of the community to sustain the programs available.

UCDSB superintendent completes Ironman, raises more than $5,000 for foundation EMC News - A superintendent of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) completed his ďƒžrst-ever Ironman event in Mont Tremblant on Sunday, Aug. 18, and raised more than $5,000 for the UCDSB Champions for Kids Foundation.

Competing against more than 2,500 triathletes, Coombs ďƒžnished the grueling race with an overall time of 14:45:27 –– swimming 3.8 kilometers in 1:20:51, biking 180.2 kilometers in 6:56:15, and running 42.2 kilometers in 6:11:28.

The Ironman has been on Coombs’’ ““bucket list”â€? for quite some time, but he was also inspired to train and compete in memory of late superintendent Ted Kennedy who was an avid runner. ““The experience has been awesome,”â€? Coombs said. ““It gave me a chance to think about my work, reďƒ&#x;ect upon my life, and I realized when I ďƒžnished the race, I just wanted to see my wife.”â€?

The money Coombs raised from sponsors will go directly to Champions to give children the opportunity to play sports, enjoy the arts, and seek medical care.

If you are still interested in contributing to Champions, please visit www.canadahelps.org, and search for ““Champions for Kids.”� The website provides an immediate tax receipt.

Neither cake nor cookies for breakfast EMC Lifestyle - One of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast.

She doesn ’t believe his defence of “They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake! ” So he falls back on what he gures is a winning argument. “But cake is good

for you. There ’s all sorts of good stuff in it - there ’s wheat and eggs and milk. ” Needless to say, he doesn ’t persuade her.

When I saw this recipe for “Breakfast Cookies ”, I immediately thought of Bill Cosby ’s story. These cookies also have a lot of “good stuff ” in them - molasses, eggs, milk, oatmeal, our, bran and raisins.

Museum Executive Director Frederick H. Hager summed up the importance of the Eastons ’ gift by saying, “This transformational gift will enable the Antique Boat Museum to continue its vital role of conserving our heritage and introducing families to our wonderful international region, the river, and experiential learning on both sides of the border. We are deeply indebted to Bob and Gay. ” The Antique Boat Museum is the premier freshwater nautical museum in North America. Located in the 1000 Islands on the St. Lawrence River, the ABM features more than 300 antique and classic boats among thousands of recreational boating artifacts. From May to October, the campus comes alive with speed boat rides, boat shows, special events, and educational programs for all ages.

Mr. Easton answered, “This has been a family decision. My wife Gay and I both wanted to do this. We have summered on Bostwick Island for generations, and the museum has done so much to preserve our local heritage and to stimulate our local economy. It just makes good sense to invest in an institution that is doing so much collective good! ” “The intent of our gift is that $250,000 will be split evenly on an annual basis for the next ten years between the museum and the trust. These funds are earmarked for current operations. The remaining portion of the gift will be split evenly between the Antique Boat Museum and the 1000 Islands Antique Boat Museum Trust. Those funds designated for the Antique Boat Museum will be restricted for General Endowment and those funds designated for the 1000 Islands Antique Boat Museum Trust will be restricted to fund the creation of an Antique Boat Museum Canadian Campus. ” A Charitable Lead Trust allows the donor to transfer assets to the next generation and avoid both estate taxes and generation-skipping taxes.

EMC News - ““One person’’s trash is another’’s treasure.”�

In June 2011 three carriers containing a total of 10 cats were abandoned in the shelter parking lot. Where they came from and what circumstances took place to bring them to us we’’ll never know. ““Time heals all wounds”� and the proof is with the treasures. What a delightful group of cats we ended up with. Bit by bit we sorted out their personalities and learned what would be the best home environment for each.

Jade’’s birth date is approximately July 2009. She lives in the Quiet Room where the shyer, more reserved and quiet kitties can feel comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. The Quiet Room is a unique place where the cats have created their own sort of peaceful family, and nary a scufďƒ&#x;e breaks out.

They are all ďƒ&#x;oor cats; at the moment none live in a cage as they all feel secure. The Quiet Room cats are most overlooked when adopters visit as they are not like the extroverts who cavort and ďƒ&#x;ash their personalities.

Jade is quiet, soft-spoken

EMC News - Most humanbear conďƒ&#x;icts occur when bears are attracted by smells and rewarded with an easy meal.

When bears pick up a scent with their keen noses, they will investigate it –– even at your cottage. If bears are rewarded with feasts of bird food, garbage or pet food, they will return as long as the food source is available. It takes all cottagers working together to eliminate these attractants and

Fort Town Drive neighbourhood in Prescott gets a makeover volunteers and representatives from the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and the Housing Services Corporation (HSC).

They spent the day beautifying the area by planting gardens and doing touch-up

painting. The day ďƒžnished up with a neighbourhood party to celebrate this revitalization event.

The Fort Town Drive project is part of the Housing Services Corporation’’s (HSC’’s) Big 10 Tune-Up, which con-

sists of 10 community build initiatives across Ontario to celebrate HSC’’s 10th anniversary. Currently, Westport Mayor Bill Thake serves on the HSC Board of Directors.

For the past 10 years, HSC (formerly SHSC), has worked

with Ontario’’s social housing community, including providers like the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

The Big Ten Tune-Up is a way of thanking the landlords, housing providers and municipalities it has worked with

while supporting them to continue to do what they do best, work for the good of those in need in communities they can be proud to call home.

Prescott native front and centre as 67’s bring show to Smiths Falls, Brockville

By STACEY ROY

sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC Sports - It’’s a point of pride. That’’s how a Sept.

7 win against the Gatineau Olympiques in Smiths Falls was described by Chris Byrne, head coach and general manager of the Ottawa 67s.

The same is likely true for the Ontario Hockey League club’’s match-up with the Kingston Frontenacs at the Brockville Memorial Centre on Sept. 16. ““It’’s always more than an exhibition game when we play Gatineau,”� Byrne said during a recent press conference held to promote the Smiths Falls event.

With their home rink at the Ottawa Civic Centre undergoing extensive renovations as part of the Lansdowne Park rehabilitation, the 67’’s are taking their show on the road during this exhibition season.

In addition to the games in Smiths Falls and Brockville, they also face-off against the Olympiques at the Clarence-

Representatives from various sporting associations answered questions from the media Aug. 23 at the Memorial Community Centre, Smiths Falls, in regards to the much anticipated exhibition game between the Ottawa 67s and Gatineau Olympiques. From left to right: Shelley Nadeau and Steve Doyle (SFGHA), Ryan Van Stralen and Chris Byrne (Ottawa 67s). The 67’s and Kingston Frontenacs do battle in Brockville on Sept. 16. of Scotiabank Place.

Hockey fans can expect a high-paced ďƒžght to the ďƒžnal

buzzer when the 67’’s battle their Quebec rivals Friday, and their provincial rivals in

he will experience the rivalry between the 67’’s and the Gatineau Olympiques on ice.

He says he’’s looking forward to adding more to his team in 2012-13 and building on what he achieved during his inaugural OHL season. ““I really got a lot of experience and conďƒždence,”â€? Van Stralen said of the 2011-2012 season.

Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples expressed his excitement for the coming game and in having Van Stralen back on home ice. ““That’’s going to add to the importance of that evening,”� he said.

He urged everyone interested in tickets to get theirs soon by calling the 67’’s Box Ofďƒžce at 613-232-6767 ext. 1 during business hours. Prices are $11.30 for adults ($10 plus HST), $5.65 for those ďƒžve-12 years of age and free for four and under.

For the game in Brockville on Sept. 16, all tickets are $10 +HST.

Rockland Community Centre on Sept. 8. The team will play its regular season games out

Brockville next Sunday, Sept.

16 at 2 p.m.

Ottawa 67’’s left winger and former Smiths Falls Bear, Ryan Van Stralen of Prescott attended the Aug. 23 press conference to express his pleasure at returning to the den to kick off his second season of OHL play. ““To have the privilege to come out here and play an exhibition game in Smiths Falls is really exciting,”� Van Stralen said, adding he hopes to see his former billet family and relatives from Prescott in the stands.

The Sept. 7 game will be Van Stralen’’s ďƒžrst time back in two years. During his time with the Tier I Jr. A club he was able to play in both the old barn and the new Memorial Community Centre with fond memories of both.

Van Stralen has been spending the summer keeping himself in top physical condition for the coming season. The local exhibition game will be the ďƒžrst time

“The car was great once again. I really have to thank the crew for all their hard work, and our sponsors ”, says Evoy from victory lane.

“We have had a good season here, and really enjoy racing here at Mohawk Raceway ”.

Brockville Speedway was up next, and after winning last week, Evoy was looking to make it two in a row at his hometown track. He started his heat race from the rear of the eld, and worked his way up to third before the checkered ag. After making a few adjustments to the car, he hit the track from the 16th starting position for the 25 lap main event. It didn ’t take long for Evoy to work his way to the front, making the top ve after just seven laps. He made the winning pass just before the halfway point and went on to win his

EMC Sports - Over the last few weeks, Dylan Evoy has put together some impressive stats, and he continued that once again this week with two more victories, increasing his win count to 15 for the 2012 season, with one more week to go in the regular season before hitting some of the bigger races later in the fall, Evoy is on an incredible roll. His 14 DIRTcar sanctioned victories puts him on the top of the list for the second year in a row, and has clinched the 2012 Mohawk Raceway Sportsman Championship for the second consecutive year as well. He also leads the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Weekly Championship standings as his 14 wins count towards their best 16 nishes.

The rst stop on Evoy ’s weekend schedule was the usual Friday night visit to Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York. Evoy had already claimed the championship, but was looking for another win to cap off an incredible season. He started sixth in his qualifying heat race, and battled to the front of the eld to take the win. In the 20 lap main event, Dylan started from 14th, and raced his way to second place before they reached lap ten.

Just four laps later he was in the lead and cruised to yet another win.

Gill, Evoy, Gagnon, Day, and Barger score big wins at Brockville Speedway early pace setter John Mulder.

Danny O ’Brien was looking save what has been a season of struggles as he worked his way to the 2nd spot just before the halfway point. From there Gill and O ’Brien put on a great show for the fans. Both drivers worked the top side of the speedway until lapped trafc came into play with 10 to go.

This allowed Dale Planck, the points leader, to work his way into the 3rd spot and immediately chase down the top 2 drivers. Gill was able to work through the trafc perfectly and pull away by 4 car lengths for his 3rd win of the season over Danny O ’Brien, Planck, Bryan Rogers, and 5 time track champion Pat O ’Brien.

The Sportsman division saw a pair of lady driver battle for the top spot in the early going.

Tabatha Murphy jumped out to the early race lead and would hold off Kenny Polite for the top spot. Jessica Power started in 6th and made her way forward as well. On lap 6 Power made the move taking the lead away open up a sizeable advantage on the rest of the eld.

Dylan Evoy was on the move on this night. After starting 16th he used the top side of the speedway and moved through the eld quickly to grab the lead from Power down the front stretch. Evoy was looking to keep his great season going as he pulled out to a full straightaway lead just past the halfway point. Chris Herbison the defending track champion

was also charging forward and made it to 2nd with just 10 laps remaining. However Evoy was just too strong as he sailed home for his 6th win and 2nd in a row in 2012. Jessica Power came home 3rd with Steve Barber and Kenny Polite rounding out the top 5.

In Street Stock action Alex Gagnon has had nothing go right for him at Brockville in 2012. With handling and motor issues Gagnon needed a good run to get some condence back. After starting on the outside pole he grabbed the lead early on with Barry Baker, Travis Andrews, Derrick Eaton and Kevin Fetterly Jr., rounding out the top 5. With the race going 15 laps caution free and Alex Gagnon having the fastest car on the track, nobody was going to stop him enroute to his rst win since July. 10 of the 2010 season with Guy Regimbald coming home 2nd, Nick Gauvreau, Kevin Fetterly Jr., and Travis Andrews rounding out the top 5.

In the Rookie division Ron Day was on a mission on this night. He started on the pole and quickly pulled out to a commanding lead. Ron Day has gone winless in 3 years and was poised to make a run at career win #2 but Chris James had other ideas. James was able to run down the leader and grab the lead on lap 8.

With James out in front Day was left to battle with Dwight Feltham, Quincy Roberts, and Michael Blais. With 3 laps

left heading into turn 3 James drove into the turn too hard and spun off the speedway. On the nal restart Day was able to hold off Feltham and a last corner charge by John Stanley to recored the popular win with Feltham Roberts and Blais rounding out the top 5.
