Events – Join the Fight Against Hydro Rates April 4 in Brockville – that is the call-out from co-organizers Lana Brunshaw and Brian James Kahnt.

The local protest is one of many taking place across Ontario that day – all to take a stand against what the name spells out – hydro rates. In Brockville, the protest takes place on Blockhouse Island, starting at 12:30 p.m. and running until 5:30 p.m.

Organizers are inviting one and all from across Leeds & Grenville to take part. They point to the fact 432 (so far) have noted

The day will include entertainment, refreshments and a visit from MPP for Leeds-Grenville Steve Clark who will give a speech that day. “I’m not surprised people across Ontario are organizing rallies to speak out against the government’s mismanagement of the electricity sector and how that’s put hydro rates through the roof,� Clark commented about the upcoming rally. “I’m proud Brockville and Leeds-Grenville See RALLY page 2

This event included tree tapping, children’s face painting, wagon rides, rope making, taffy eating and a display of tools used during maple syrup season years ago. Hot dogs, homemade chili and refreshments were available. Here, owners Lynda Halladay holds the bucket while Greg drills the hole to put the spout in a maple tree to gather sap. Each year the Tapping Out Party takes place in either Lanark, Frontenac or Leeds and Grenville County – or elsewhere across the Ottawa-Carleton area of Eastern Ontario.

service and billing procedures.

She hopes Marin, “keeps digging.”

Kahnt also criticizes Smart Meters, saying they “Are faulty at best,” and should be replaced.

Other issues the protest will highlight include delivery charges. “Delivery charges to rural areas they are getting hit astronomically,” Kahnt noted.

Between usage and delivery charges, Brunshaw notes her hydro bill for a small one bedroom apartment is almost as much as her rent.

Given present circumstances, the two want to get the message through to Hydro One to stop increases to hydro rates. In a December press release from Clark, it was noted that hydro rates – which have already increased 56 per cent on their (Liberal government) watch – will rise another 45 per cent by 2020. The release also noted when the Liberal government was elected in 2003; the average residential electricity bill in Ontario was $88. Today, that figure is $138 and it will rise to $170 per month by 2017.

Organizers will be handing out pamphlets at the protest, and posters will be placed in local businesses and public locations to advertise the event ahead of time. For those planning to attend, Brunshaw and Kahnt ask participants to fashion their own signs from materials such as Bristol board, to bring along with them.

Tiziana Baccega Rosa, Sr. Media Relations Advisor with Hydro One, answered several questions with regards to the issues at hand. When asked about the cost of hydro, and that many feel the costs are very high, “Hydro One believes all ratepayers deserve fair, reasonable and affordable rates and we have made

a commitment to our customers to hold our portion of the total bill, the delivery charge, to the rate of inflation. We are sensitive to the impact of rate increases on our customers and we aim to balance the need to control costs with the necessary investments to keep our system strong and able to reliably deliver the electricity our customers count on,” she answered.

Hydro One rate “applications undergo rigorous public regulatory review through the Ontario Energy Board. This is an open and transparent process that allows customers the opportunity to participate.”

With regards to the use of Smart Meters and Kahnt’s charge that they may be faulty, the utility explains, “Hydro One along with all local electricity distribution companies in Ontario was mandated to install smart meters as part of a province-wide program.” They also explain sample testing of meters over the past half a decade has shown they are “over 99.9 per cent accurate.” However, if a customer believes there is a problem with a meter, a Measurement Canada verification can be requested.

Hydro One says with regards to various charges on bills, the “Delivery” portion is Hydro One’s piece of the bill.

This is the portion of the bill, which, “goes to pay the costs associated to fulfill Hydro One’s function, moving electricity from where it is generated to where it is used.” And, “Our rate applications undergo rigorous regulatory review and approvals through the Ontario Energy Board. This is an open and transparent process that allows customers have the opportunity to participate.”

A pie chart supplied by Hydro One, notes delivery charges go to preventing outages via tree trimming, replacing worn-out equipment (42 per cent), customer service (nine per cent), upgrading the system (30 per cent) and other costs.

she says she actually wet the bed until 13 years of age.

While in Ottawa, she attended McGill University, but dropped out when an opportunity in radio was presented to her. At the time CKCU FM, was launching and she wanted to try it. “Find what you love and work hard,” she said. “It’s not really work when it’s what you choose to do. Happiness has never shown up in a truck at my front door.”

From CKCU she went to Chez106. There she had a daily program called In the City. Suggesting to the crowd they need to be prepared for opportunity as well as have a grateful heart, she pointed to the Law of Attraction. What you think and focus on you end up attracting. The thoughts of today manifest themselves tomorrow.

It was J.J. Clarke who first invited her to CJOH. When the offer came back around a second time, she took it. She did the weather with Clarke and entertainment with Max Keeping.

“Fear will prevent us from bringing our dreams to life,” she said. “We need to be alert, but we can’t let it run our life.”

She urged the audience to call on courage in the face of fear.

With Regional Contact, again, she had no experience in taking on such a task. “I had no clue.

No one helped me. They gave me the space to hang

myself or figure it out,” she recalled. “I faked it till I fit in.”

She urged the audience to appreciate when things are tough, as someday there will be a useful lesson come from those times. “It is good for us to challenge what we think we know and what we think we can do,” she emphasized.

Asking questions and listening to the answers is important, she said. “Too often we are just waiting for an opportunity to speak.”

At the end of her talk, she broke some key points down and noted they are: find what you love and work hard; be prepared for opportunity; say yes even when you are scared; appreciate everything; ask questions and listen; hang with like-minded people; make stuff happen; be open to receiving support; always choose happiness. For further information on her courses, about Donovan or her book, please visit www.kathiedonovan.com.

Deanna Clark, representing her husband, LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark, explained the evening and International Women’s Day is an important opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contributions women make to the economy.

Opening the evening’s official events, Wendy Onstein, manager for the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre, and past president of the BWB, told everyone earlier that night, “You will be amazed and inspired before the night is out.”

Carveth Care Lodge – Our Family Caring For Your Family Leaving one’s home and moving into a retirement residence is a big change, but for those fortunate enough to be relocating to the Carveth Care Lodge in Gananoque, it’s a welcome one.

Carveth is a retirement ‘home’ in the best sense of the word, for its residents are not merely housed there; they live there. It is a home away from home, where staff and fellow residents soon come to feel like an extended family.

In fact, the Home’s motto is ‘Our Family Caring for Your Family,’ and to staff and management, these are more than just words on a page.

“It’s not just our motto,” says lodge manager Phyllis Lorbetskie. “It’s definitely something we live by.”

Carveth Care Lodge has a great deal to offer a person who may need a more supportive living arrangement but doesn’t want that support to come at the cost of his or her autonomy and personal freedom.

“They’re ready to give up some independence,” says Lorbetskie of her residents, “but not all of it. They’re still very independent.”

If anything, living at Carveth Care Lodge can give residents an opportunity to be even more self-directing than they might have been living at home, often alone and under the burden of increasingly onerous household chores. Relieved of the day-to-day drudgery, residents can indulge their interests and follow pursuits for which they might not otherwise have had the time or energy.

“You can spend your time enjoying yourself and not doing laundry or cleaning the house,” says Lorbetskie.

The spacious one-storey building is handsomely turned out, its halls and common areas appointed with smart décor and comfortable furnishings, and the entire

building is kept in immaculate condition by the staff.

Outdoors, there are delightful gardens and colourful flower beds, an inviting courtyard and a veterans memorial garden. Some of the rooms even have patios.

Residents have a choice of four different room configurations—small and large private, suites and deluxe suites—and all rooms include a private bathroom and a thermostat for individual climate control.

Professional nursing staff are on the premises 24 hours a day and there is a medical center on site. Other medical and health professionals attend the lodge frequently, among them, physiotherapists, foot care nurses, massage therapists and chiropractors. Pharmaceutical deliveries are made to the lodge six days a week.

There is also a hair salon and a small library. A larger, travelling library also stops by regularly. Religious services are offered in a charming little on-site chapel, where representatives from several denominations take turns celebrating their ministry.

And there is never a shortage of things to do in and around the lodge. There are always activities going on,

cards being played or performers coming in to keep residents entertained, and special events are organized throughout the year.

“It’s all what you make it,” says Lorbetskie. “You can be as quiet as can be or as active as you want.”

Meals at the Lodge would be the envy of most restaurants and are cooked from scratch three times a day in the Home’s own kitchen. Residents are served in a bright and inviting dining room, where they are waited on at their tables as they would be in a commercial establishment.

“The meals are wonderful here,” says Lorbetskie.

Going to the lengths it has to accommodate not only the needs but the wishes of its residents has made Carveth the first name in retirement living, but behind the success of Carveth and its sister facility in Amherstview—the Helen Henderson Care Centre—is another name: Gibson.

Both Carveth and Helen Henderson have been owned and operated since their founding 40 years ago by the Gibson family. The current generation is the third to take the reins of the two homes, and both owners can often be found walking the halls of the Carveth Care Lodge, mingling with its residents, giving and getting feedback and making it clear to all that Carveth is a family business in more ways than one.

“The staff and residents really do become a small extended family,” says Lorbetskie.

On March 22, the Carveth family is inviting the public in for a tour and information session, where people will have the chance to see in person what it is Carveth does that has earned it such a sterling reputation and has placed it among the first rank of retirement communities.

Shelli Warren presented with Sue MacLaurin Leadership Memorial Award

News - The Sue MacLaurin Leadership Memorial Award was created by Brockville Women in Business to honour the memory of Sue MacLaurin. MacLaurin was an active member of the BWB who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in November 2013. She was an inspiration, a role model and a friend

to many of the women in this group.

Although MacLaurin lived in Brockville for a short period of time, she became part of the community becoming active in both the Brockville Women in Business and the Brockville Women’s Network. She impacted everyone she met and because of

this the BWB honoured her memory during the BWB Business Showcase and the International Women’s Day celebration. This award was presented to Shelli Warren whom the nominating committee felt best emulates MacLaurin’s qualities, March 6, at the Brockville Memorial Centre.

MacLaurin was career oriented, inclusive, adaptive, a risk taker, fearless, a connector, inspirational, authentic, a doer, a leader, a teacher and had great sense of humour.

She was a wife, a mother, a sister and a very dear friend to many. Warren possesses all of these qualities. She started her career with Proctor and Gamble 25 years ago, much like MacLaurin who worked for many years for Northern Telecom. Both she and MacLaurin worked in the organizational development area teaching teams how to be more effective in their work and with each other.

Warren is a leader in the community working hard for charities, taking risks, sharing new ideas and connecting others to build success.

She has been involved with Girls Inc. of Upper Canada by heading their board and helping them through a transition period. At the Brockville Women’s Network because of her work schedule she may arrive in her work boots and jeans showing others that everyone has the right to be included and not judged.

She discovered a woman’s networking group in Cornwall and along with MacLaurin decided to introduce it into Brockville to bring women together on a personal and professional level.

As a member of the Leadercast team she does whatever it takes to get things done. This includes writing blogs, creating newspaper ads or wiping tables at Boston Pizza as a celebrity server.

Warren and MacLaurin shared a passion for helping women who are in need and to this end they became involved with the Leeds & Grenville Interval House helping out with fund raising activities.

Neither she nor MacLaurin was ever afraid to “get their hands dirty” and always managed to have a ton of fun doing it.

The winner of the first annual Sue MacLaurin Leadership Memorial award is an influencer, a leader, a teacher, a brave risk taker, an inspiration, a mom, a wife and a friend.

Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has given much to community News - In celebration of International Women’s Day the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre is pleased to honour Sia Syrios of CJ’s Banquet Hall with their annual Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was created to recognize a woman who has been in business for many years and to celebrate her achievements as a business leader in the community. Last year’s award was presented to Pauline Marshall of Pauline’s Lingerie.

This year’s recipient arrived from Greece in 1957 and worked as a nanny in Montreal. She married her husband Chris in October of 1959 and they moved to Brockville in January 1960 where they purchased the Brockville Coffee Shop located on Buell Street with John and Jean Kalivas. Along with starting this business venture Sia worked at the Brockville General Hospital in the cafeteria.

In 1961 she and Chris purchased HB Wrights restaurant on King Street in Brockville and changed the name to Relax Restaurant while her brother operated the Prescott Coffee Shop. In 1962 they decided to lease the Brockville Coffee Shop and she left her employment to work full time at Relax with Chris.

Her daughters Toula, Lori and Louise were born in ‘65, ‘68 and ‘69 during which time she continued to work in the restaurant. Sia’s volunteer work with the Brockville Figure Skating Club was one of many

In 1986 her husband Chris died very suddenly, leaving her to run

the business and continue to raise their girls. It was at this point that she began her volunteer work with Palliative Care at St. Vincent de Paul Hospital.

She decided in 1987 that she would start a catering business out

News - The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program is organized through the Volunteer Centre of St. Lawrence-Rideau by volunteers and staff, who have provided this service for over a decade.

This service is provided free to the citizens of Brockville, Gananoque and Prescott and surrounding communities with an income range of under $27,000.

Services are available now until the end of April. In Brockville, citizens can have their income tax return processed at 51 King St. E, Unit 107

of Relax Restaurant and through that discovered a need in the community for a Banquet Hall. Sia, began looking for property and financing but was turned down by three banks. Undeterred she approached National Trust and the manager took a leap of faith and lobbied for financing for her.

Her search for a location to build a banquet hall was decided and the location was a lot at the end of Chelsea Street. Her dream became reality when CJ’s opened their doors in November of 1989. This year CJ’s will celebrate 25years in business, having participated in thousands of families’ special occasions along with many events from the business community. Sia now works in partnership with her daughter Lori and son-in-law Luke. Sia still goes to work each day and continues to prepare her signature items.

Sia’s other accomplishments include being honoured with the Helen Keller Fellowship Award from the Brockville Lions Club for outstanding Lionism. She has supported co-operative education so students can gain experience in the hospitality industry and contributes to numerous charities. In her spare time she loves to travel, spend time with her family and watch the Food Network.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Protect yourself from financial fraud DEAR EDITOR:

Every year, millions of Canadians are targeted by fraud regardless of their age, education level, income, profession or ethnicity.

March is Fraud Protection Month in Canada and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) is joining the Competition Bureau and several other organizations in raising awareness about the issue of fraud. It’s an ideal time for Canadians to find out how to recognize, prevent and report fraud should they become a victim.

It’s easy to fall for a financial scam. Criminals use creative tactics

to catch potential victims at different stages of their lives. Whether you are starting your first job, moving out on your own, maintaining a home or living in retirement, be mindful of the potential scams that could target you. Protect your assets, property and identity by recognizing and reporting the warning signs to the proper authorities and by visiting itpaystoknow.gc.ca to learn more.

Lucie Tedesco, Commissioner, Financial Consumer Agency of Canada

Editorial – On March 8, women throughout Leeds and Grenville celebrated on International Women’s Day. While many may think the day is a fairly recent tradition, the first women’s day actually dates back to May 3, 1908 in Chicago. It has often been perceived as a way to combat anti-sexism and encourage civil rights, but in some areas of the world, it became a way for men to express their love for women, not unlike Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. In today’s society, it has become an inspiring movement, an encouraging sign that the social, political and economic achievements of women should be applauded. Whatever the reason, we should make this day one to honour all women in our lives.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, according to the United Nations, is ‘Equality for Women is Progress for All’ which speaks to helping facilitate the advancement of women in all aspects of the world. It’s not just a celebration, but a message to keep fighting for equal rights for women.

In this region, the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre partnered with the Brockville Women in Business for the International Women’s Day dinner and Spring Showcase. Women were highlighted through the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award and the Sue MacLaurin Memorial Leadership Award.

A Women’s Wellness Day was also hosted to honour International Women’s Day – Inspiring Change Less is More. Hosted by the Victim Issues Coordinating Committee of Leeds and Grenville, the event focused on reflecting on one’s own life, looking at nutrition and budgeting.

These are just two of many events that took place throughout the area and across the country.

In spite of Depression there were still many treats to enjoy Lifestyle - Goodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on! Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money.

“There is no money for such frivolities!” And how often were we told “Eat every last scrap on your plate...if you don’t you were taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian!” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure that they lived in Arnprior!

Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money, and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. And yet, we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 30’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious.

And if I had stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willynilly...in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night,

of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outside privy!! My sister Audrey called it “our winter clean out,” but to me, it was a treat.

And then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “who would like a piece of oven toast?”, we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven.

The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat

Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers.

The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast.

There always seemed to be lots of home-made bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat.

And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, mov-

ing the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugar-filled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy.

My sister Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill.

When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my finger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the finger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in his own See MARY page 14

The BGH ‘Volunteen’ program returns News — Brockville General Hospital is happy to announce the return of its highly successful “Volunteen” program.

Based on the original volunteer program for teens that ran from 1990 to 2005, the new Volunteen program will give area youth the chance to volunteer in many areas within the hospital, allowing them to experience the working hospital setting first hand. The Volunteen program

is once again hosted by the Brockville General Volunteer Association (BGVA) in partnership with St. Lawrence College’s Child and Youth Worker program.

“Brockville General Hospital and our Volunteer Association have many learning experiences to offer the youth of our community who are interested in the various aspects of healthcare,” says Cheryl Marshall, manager of volunteers

for the BGVA. “We look forward to working with the young people of the community, ages 13 to 18, which will bring a new vitality and younger component to our Volunteer Association.”

The BGVA marks 125 years of service to Brockville General Hospital and the community in 2014.

DEAR EDITOR:

Brockville nities throughout Leeds and Grenville who helped raise over $246,000.

The funds raised at this year’s telethon have ensured the continuation of the highest quality of care and service for your loved ones.

On behalf of the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service, Brockville and District Hospital Foundation and the Brockville General Hospital thank you on a job well done!

The Global Water Crisis has dramatically deepened. The stage is being set for drought on an unprecedented scale (California), mass starvation, and the migration of millions of refugees leaving parched lands in search of water.

While the world’s population grows at an alarming rate, water is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity. But for some this is a chance to make big bucks. The film “Bottled Life” documents the booming business with DEAR EDITOR: bottled water.

activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold.

Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow”, a special treat on a Saturday night, or Sunday afternoon. Mother of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house.

Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother

brought in in the big roast pan! And the hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, let harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store!

I shared a special treat with my beloved sister Audrey, that no one else in the family seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dug-out cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the

Joan Simon executive director, Brockville and District Hospital Foundation Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy! Even my hateful brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits!

Those long ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

the public and museum staff alike.”

Additionally, Clark mentioned Ontario’s Museum Day at Queen’s Park.

“This week at Queen’s Park was very exciting,” said Clark. “On Thursday, we had an Ontario Museum Day and we had the Ontario Museum Association. I had a meeting in my office with the City of Kingston, Bruce County and also from the Diefenbunker. They were at Queen’s Park to look for a secure and stable funding for charitable museums, art galleries and historic sites. I have to tell you they received a great response by the parties at Queen’s Park.”

He quoted from their presentation that in 2010, $5.3 million or 48 per cent of Ontarians visited a museum or art gallery.

Friends of the Brockville Museum co-chair Doug Smith indicated that the Friends are grateful to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for the funding as the project would not have proceeded, without their assistance.

“Ultimately the Museum will have a much stronger online presence which will not only allow far greater numbers of people to be engaged, but will strengthen our sense of community identity,” stated Smith. “This will ultimately contribute to the economic wellbeing of our community as people from outside Brockville come to realize that Brockville’s rich heritage makes this a city well worth visiting.”

As the AGM continued, Smith indicated that the Friends’ Board would welcome anyone who may be interested in serving.

News – The highlight of the Friends of the Brockville Museum Annual General Meeting (AGM), on Feb. 22, came in the way of a Ontario Trillium Foundation grant which will allow the Open Drawer project to proceed.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark accompanied by Ontario Trillium Foundation Quinte, Kingston, Rideau Grant Review Team chair Betsy Heatley announced the $16,100 grant and presented a plaque to the Friends of the Brockville Museum, along with curator/ director Natalie Wood and Open Drawer project manager Alison Dingledine.

The funds are being used to hire a project manager for eight months to implement the Canadian MINISIS software, train volunteers and to start the transition from paper records to electronic ones.

The overall cost of this project is $43,100 with the Friends of the Brockville Museum contributing the difference.

Heatley mentioned that one of criterion of the Ontario Trillium Foundation is to help build healthy vibrant communities.

“One of the key ways that we do that is to support the volunteering sector,” said Heatley. “It’s so wonderful that the Friends of the Brockville Museum has had such a key part in the development of this initiative. I think this is the first time that we have increased our grants to the Arts and Culture Sector.”

News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark has called on the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to improve the way Ontarians who suspect they have Lyme disease are diagnosed and treated.

In a Member’s Statement on Thursday, March 5, Clark said the health-care system is failing Ontarians with the disease, including many in Leeds-Grenville – which has been identified as a provincial hotspot for the ticks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme.

“OHIP won’t cover the cost of an effective test to confirm a person has Lyme disease, so patients are losing valuable time by enduring multiple tests when they should be starting treatment,” said Clark. “We know the number of Lyme cases in Ontario is rising and I think the Minister of Health

He spoke in the Legislative Assembly about the experience of one of those people, Mallorytown resident Karen Brown.

“It’s tragic to see these once healthy people suffering because they can’t get a proper diagnosis and the necessary treatment. We know that the earlier treatment for Lyme disease starts, the better chance there is of reducing the longterm health effects.”

Clark argued OHIP funding for a more effective test wouldn’t necessarily cost the health-care system more. “It’s about reallocating our resources.”

Tanya Ambrose, of Mallorytown, is seen here with a copy of “Chicken Soup for the Soul: O Canada The Wonders of Winter.” Her story about surviving the ice storm of 1998 was chosen to be one of the 101 stories contained in this book.

She actually had sent her story into Chicken Soup for the Soul, in 1998. But it was just last spring she received a call – apparently they had lost her contact information. One of the editor’s employees tracked her down. In fact, she didn’t even have the story file anymore herself. It had been on an old computer.

Ambrose is a retired teacher, and enjoys writing short stories, traveling, as well as babysitting her two granddaughters. Her husband John’s work was in land use planning and then environmental impact studies for engineering projects and monitoring them. This gave the family an opportunity to travel to locations such as Kenya and Nepal. One of the first stories she wrote was while in Kenya, she was around 35-36 years old and it was about her experience living there.

She has won awards for her writing throughout the years, as well as had work published.

While her writing isn’t consistent she says, she is motivated by deadlines.

engine performance and emissions).

The 645 of your era had more than its share of problems with this system, usually due to leaks in any number of the hoses, lines, fittings and connectors that are routed in the engine bay and under the engine’s intake manifold. However the code 2060 refers to an electrical fault in the air injection system, not necessarily a hose or connection problem.

An electrical fault almost always sparks a check engine light that comes on right after start up as the vehicle’s various control computers immediately run a series of self-tests on various components and systems. For every fault code there is a diagnostic chart that leads the tech through a series of tests and inspections to narrow the cause. For code 2060 it would most likely involve testing certain wires and connectors for continuity and power and to test any electrical activators, valves, or pumps for operation.

When you get into a problem like this it’s critical that your shop has experience in these systems on your particular make and model and access to up to date diagnostic charts and wiring diagrams.

For a BMW 645 the single resource with all of that is usually a BMW dealership.

I doubt if changing your fuel type will help with this problem (although these BMW’s like their premium fuel). “Hello, I look for and enjoy your article every week. Thank you for all your help and information. Now, I have a question that I can’t seem to find the answer to. I have a 2003 Toyota Echo, automatic with about 93,000+ kilometers on it. Do I have a timing belt/chain on it?

Does it have to be changed about now around the 100,000 K. mark? I’m told that when this is done that the serpentine belt(s) and the water pump should be changed as well. I have looked in the books that came with the car and can’t find an answer to my questions.

Somewhere, I did find that these belts should be changed, but they mentioned other 4 cylinder cars and not the Echo.

Of course, I can’t find that again. I had never heard of a timing belt/chain by anybody before I had a Miata and the Miata owner’s club pounded it into us to get this done by the 100,000 mark. “

Thank You MW Thanks for the question and readership. Your 2003 Echo is not equipped with a timing belt but rather a timing chain and it is not scheduled for replacement at any particular time or mileage.

These chains are considered non-serviceable, lifetime units.

Those vehicles that are equipped with timing belts usually require their replacement anywhere from 100,000 to 160,000 km. Often timing belt engines are zero-clearance engines. On these types of engines if the timing belt breaks with the engine running or cranking to start, the cylinder head valves will collide with the tops of the pistons with disastrous and expensive results. It’s not uncommon to have to replace the entire engine if this happens. The vehicle owner’s manual is the best resource to determine if a particular vehicle is timing belt or timing chain equipped and at which interval the belt requires replacement.

Lifestyle - “Hi Brian I’ve been plagued with this yellow emission light staying on (my 2004 BMW 645ci) for several months now and have so far thrown almost $500 to solve the problem with no resolution.

The sequence is – as soon as I start the engine the large yellow engine light comes on, then in about 10 seconds it goes off and the smaller yellow engine light comes on in the upper section of the dash and stays on as long as the engine is running. Both mechanics have advised that all the components of the secondary emission operation are okay and have cleaned the hoses to preclude a possible clogging of the hoses. They have also cleared both air injection pipes at the rear of the cylinder head. In addition they told me the trouble code that kept coming back was 2060. They also checked secondary air pump operation, the air injection hoses, connectors, and valves and they reset the computer.

The yellow increased emission light popped right back on after I left the shop. I plan on getting some quality gas additive for the next time I have to fill my tank and see if that helps clean the engine a bit.

Can you offer any further steps I can suggest to the mechanic?�

Thanks K From the info you’ve supplied it seems your techs have been working on the BMW’s secondary air system (an air injection system designed to improve

Leeds-Grenville MP supports move to grant veterans access to federal public service jobs News – Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville, recently noted that he supports an announcement from Julian Fantino, Minister of Veterans Affairs that moves veterans to the front of the line when it comes to hiring qualified Canadians for federal public service jobs The consolidated Veterans Hiring Act builds on previous government commitments as well as new ones outlined in Economic Action Plan 2014 to help veterans find meaningful employment after their time in uniform is complete.

In recognition of their service to Canada, Canadian Armed Forces personnel and honourably released veterans will be given more access to federal public service job opportunities. As outlined in Economic Action Plan 2014, the federal government is proposing changes to the Public Service Employment Act to enhance employment opportunities in the federal public service for veterans.

“Veterans have skills, training and experience that make them exceptionally strong candidates for federal public service jobs,” explains Brown in a press release. “These new measures give priority hiring and new Submitted photo employment opportunities in the federal

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals held a “National Cupcake Day” on Monday, Feb. 24. The residents of Carveth decided to do their part with all proceeds raised going directly to the local Gananoque Humane Society. Through the sale of cupcakes, pup-cakes, jumbo cup-cake, crocheted catnip cupcakes and cupcake hat, bird suet and cupcake shaped cookies they were able to raise $400. The Gananoque Humane Society has told Carveth they were instrumental in putting them over their goal of $3,000. Seen here, accepting the money, are back row Christine Witkowicz, Humane Society volunteer and Lou Rasmussen, Carveth resident.

public service to Canadian Armed Forces personnel and veterans.”

Beginning a new, meaningful career is an important part of a successful transition from military to civilian life when Canada’s men and women in uniform conclude their service.

Qualified veterans who have at least three years of military service will be given preference in advertised, external hiring processes for five years after the date of release. Additionally, veterans and CAF personnel with at least three years of military service will be allowed to participate in advertised, internal hiring processes for a period expiring five years after their release date.

These new measures build on the federal government’s recent announcement that veterans of the CAF who have medically released due to a service-related injury or illness will get the top level of priority consideration for job openings in the public service.

This means eligible veterans whose military service is cut short by a career-ending injury or illness suffered in the line of duty will be given statutory, priority access in the federal public service. Additionally, the

duration of priority access for all medically released CAF personnel would be extended from two years to five years.

All proposed changes are expected to come into force in 2014-15.

Since 2012, the federal government has also been working successfully with corporate Canada and other organizations to help veterans find employment in the private sector.

On average, each year, approximately 7,600 Canadian Armed Forces Regular and Reserve Force personnel leave the military, including approximately 1,000 who medically release. The average age of CAF regular and Reserve Force personnel at release is 37.

Through the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, injured veterans can get financial assistance of up to $75,800 to help them retrain for new career opportunities.

Veterans taking part in VAC’s vocational or rehabilitation programs may receive the Earnings Loss Benefit, which ensures a veteran will continue to receive a fair income while they focus on their health or re-training.

Talking about epilepsy:

SAFETY TIPS

The importance of speaking up News – Editor’s note: As part of Epilepsy Awareness month, the Epilepsy & Seizure Disorder Resource Centre of South Eastern Ontario is highlighting the importance of talking about epilepsy.

According to Epilepsy Ontario, 1 in 100 Canadians have epilepsy and 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime, making it important for everyone to understand what epilepsy is and what seizures are. When people take the time to talk about how epilepsy and seizures have affected their lives and the lives of the people around them, misconceptions are challenged. Talking about epilepsy provides the opportunity to supply correct information about seizure first aid and to let people know how common the condition is.

The Epilepsy Support Centre in London, Ontario, provides these 10 reasons for people who have epilepsy to talk about their condition: 1. Raise awareness.

2. Educate others and bust myths.

3. Teach others that people living with epilepsy deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

4. Help others realize that people with epilepsy are just like everyone else.

5. Let people who have epilepsy know they are not alone.

6. You will encourage others to selfdisclose.

7. You may find out that other people you know also live with epilepsy.

8. Reduce stress. You’ll no longer spend energy on protecting your secret.

9.

Feel more comfortable with friends, colleagues and acquaintances by building open and honest relation-

ships.

10. Honour how epilepsy has helped define your character.

“One of the things I hear most when speaking to clients with epilepsy is how alone and isolated they feel,” stated Hanna Kitchingman, youth coordinator at the Epilepsy Resource Centre. “People with epilepsy are sometimes scared to openly talking about their epilepsy for fear of further isolation or lack of understanding from the community.”

When a person speaks up and talks about his or her epilepsy there is increased understanding of what epilepsy is and how it is so unique for each individual. This March, during Epilepsy Awareness Month, everyone who is affected by epilepsy is encouraged to talk about the experience.

To help get the conversation started, the Epilepsy Resource Centre is hosting a Purple Pancake Community Breakfast in Gananoque on Saturday, March 22.

It will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 175 Stone St. S. Everyone is welcome to attend to learn more about epilepsy.

Admission is by donation.

An important mandate of the Epilepsy Resource Centre is to provide education workshops about epilepsy and seizures to further increase community understanding. “We offer workshops tailored to the needs of the group, for all ages. These sessions are offered at no cost, and enable participants to educate themselves on the topic of epilepsy and seizures to help bring epilepsy out of the shadows,” stated Kitchingman.

For more information about epilepsy, to book an epilepsy presentation for your school, business, or community group with the Epilepsy Resource Centre, or to learn more about local Purple Day events, please contact the organization at 613-542-6222 or visit www.epi-

Keon and Me author in Brockville March 25 for special presentation Events - Dave Bidini has been described by Ron Maclean, host of CBC’s iconic Hockey Night in Canada as, “One of the great voices of hockey, and music, in our country.”

The Thousand Islands Writers Festival is pleased to present Bidini at Brockville Collegiate Institute Auditorium on Tuesday, March 25 for a talk on his latest book, Keon And Me: My Search For The Lost Soul Of The Leafs. The evening begins at

7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at Leeds County Books, 73 King St. W. in Brockville or at the door.

Bidini has written 12 books, and in 2011 his, On a Cold Road, was named a finalist for Canada Reads, CBC Radio’s national books contest. He is the only person to be nominated for a Gemini Award for work in television, a Genie Award for work in cinema and a Juno Award for work in music. Many may know him as a

His second book, Tropic of Hockey, about playing hockey in China, Dubai and Transylvania, was named one of the Top 100 Canadian books of all-time, and established what would become the writer’s template: travel, sports and music written from an experiential perspective.

Told in two narratives - one from the point of view of the young Bidini growing up in Toronto in the early 70’s and one from the perspective of the man looking for his absent hero - Keon and Me tells not only the story of a hockey icon who has haunted Toronto for decades, but of a life lived in parallel to Keon’s. It’s the story of cultural change, an account of the tribulations of the NHL’s most beloved (and most despised) franchise in the decades since Keon left under a cloud, and most of all, it is a story of growing up, with all the wisdom and sadness that imparts.

Preparation Time: 35 minutes Baking Time: 30 minutes Serves: Eight Ingredients Cake: • 4 eggs, separated • 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cream of tartar • 3/4 cup (175 mL) all-purpose flour • 2 tbsp (25 mL) pure apple butter Honey-Glazed Apples: • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced • 1/2 cup (125 mL) liquid honey • 1/2 cup (125 mL) pure apple butter Preparation instructions Cake: In large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks on high speed for two minutes. Add 6 tbsp (90 mL) of the sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, beating until thick, creamy and pale yellow, five to seven minutes. Set aside.

In glass or metal bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg whites until foamy; beat in cream of tartar until frothy. Add remaining sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, beating until stiff peaks form, three to five minutes.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in yolks. Gently fold in flour until no streaks

remain. Spoon in apple butter and gently fold in. Spoon into 9-inch (23 cm) tube pan, smoothing top with back of spoon. Bake in centre of 325°F (160°C) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until cake tester inserted comes out clean. Turn pan upside down and let hang on legs attached to pan, or on a bottle, until completely cooled. Remove from pan.

Honey-Glazed Apples: In large skillet on medium heat, melt butter. Cook apples, stirring occasionally, for two minutes. Stir in honey to coat apples; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for three to five minutes or until apples are slightly softened and glazed. (If you prefer softer apples cook for three to five minutes longer). Pour into heat-proof dish; cover and set aside for up to 4 hours.

Cut cake into eight equal slices. Spoon Honey-Glazed Apples over each slice. Top each with one tbsp (15 mL) Ontario Apple Butter.

Music and Performing Arts Hall of Fame adds six new members Entertainment - The members of the Brockville and Area Music and Performing Arts Hall of Fame have recently added six new members.

The six are music teacher and performer Lynn Barkley from Cardinal, tuba player Matt Wilson, stage manager Marianne Bimm, actor Harold Hess, the late Art Wood who was a fixture at the Brockville Arts Centre and the Fabulous Bel-Airs.

They will be inducted in a special musical evening March 27 at the Brockville Arts Centre. The Red Carpet show is at 6:30 with the induction to follow at 7 p.m.

Barkley has been sharing her love of music and her performing abilities with

audiences of all ages from Brockville to Upper Canada Village for many years.

Barkley thinks nothing of packing her keyboard in her car to accompany a soloist or group, and when there is no electricity, packing her accordion instead.

Whether teaching children, conducting the Red Hats, or playing in churches, she can be counted on for her enthusiasm and love of music.

Wood came to the theatre in 1919 and just never bothered to go home. He was often referred to as Mr. Theatre. His Forte was lighting, as he was a trained electrician and a licensed film projectionist. He volunteered at the Old Arts Centre, and built and painted sets. In 1960, when the Arts

Centre was converted from a “B” movie theatre, he and his family donated time and money to the cause and purchased state of the art lighting and equipment.

He was a fixture at the BAC with his dog Shammie and the ever present cigar.

Bimm has become a fixture at the Brockville Arts Centre. As a performer, she has appeared multiple times in the Lions Club Music Festival as well as numerous productions at BCI. A life member of the Brockville Operatic Society, a founding member of the Riverside Singers and as a volunteer stage manager for the BAC, she has donated literally thousands of hours of time to the performing arts community of Brockville

As a musician, Wilson is one of the finest tuba players one will ever encounter.

With both a bachelor and master’s degree in music, his musical feel and stylistic interpretations are always consistent and appropriate to every show. He donates his time and talents regularly to numerous charitable events, plays in the Brockville Concert Band, the St. Lawrence College Music Theatre Pit and is an active member of the Wall Street United Church Praise Band.

The Fabulous Bel-Airs formed in 1986.

This nostalgic rock and roll band was the first band to perform at Riverfest. With broad audience appeal, they have taken on a key role as fundraisers for various orga-

nizations and even local families (recently for the family of a child bone marrow recipient). They have demonstrated talent, longevity and outstanding community involvement.

Hess has been performing since the age of four. He was a member of the North Grenville District Collegiate drama club and performed while at Queen’s University as well. He joined the Brockville Operatic Society in 1993 and since then has performed in over 15 shows, was a member of the board and in 1995 joined the Brockville Theatre Guild. He continues to be a frequent performer in church pageants, New Year’s Eve concerts and the Sunday in the Park series.

Meet some “New Faces” as talented young performers take the stage Entertainment – Once again, the St. Lawrence College Music Theatre – Performance program is proud to present its newest group of talented young performers in New Faces 2014, an annual show featuring an extravaganza of song and dance. For the first time, New Faces will have two performances – a matinee at 2 p.m. and an evening performance at 8 p.m. at the Brockville Arts Centre on Saturday, March 8.

The evening will feature the entire first year class who are eager to perform onstage at the Brockville Arts Centre. For many students, New Faces provides the opportunity to perform in front of a large audience for the first time.

“New Faces has been a pure joy to work on and the students have been true collaborators in this process. The performance will take the audience on a journey through many eras and styles of musical theatre, featuring such shows as Crazy For You, Car-

ousel, Sweet Charity, We Will Rock You, and Mama Mia,” said Janet Venn Jackson and Patrick Burwell, the New Faces 2014 directors. “We have all worked together very hard ‘Putting It Together’. Be prepared for a high energy, fast-paced romp with some well-loved favourites, and some exciting surprises as well.”

“It’s been really great working on New Faces under the careful guidance of Patrick and Janet; they know exactly what to do to produce a great show. There are some big things lined up that everyone in the audience will recognize and enjoy, like Big Spender and Mama Mia, and other memorable numbers,” said Brandon Timmerman, a first-year Music Theatre – Performance student who lives in Brockville and graduated from TISS before attending SLC. “The cast members are wonderful; we have students in the program from cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Yellowknife, and Calgary, and International students as well. I’m

excited for the Brockville community to see the show and get to know each of the cast members and be entertained by their individual talents.”

Ticket prices are $20 plus HST for adults and $15 plus HST for students and are available from the Brockville Arts Centre at 613-342-7122 or www.brockvilleartscentre.com. Special St. Lawrence College student “rush tickets” to the performance of New Faces at 2 p.m. or 8 p.m. are available for only $10, taxes included. Students can purchase a discounted ticket at the Brockville Arts Centre box office by presenting their St. Lawrence College student ID card.

New Faces is sponsored by the 1000 Islands Community Development Corporation and the Friends of Music Theatre.

Entertainment – St. Lawrence College is pleased to present the third annual “untapped” art show, Untapped 3: The Art of Now, at the Marianne van Silfhout Gallery on the Brockville campus from March 7 to April 11. The Untapped show displays the work of emerging artists who have not completed formal training in the visual arts. For many of the exhibiting artists, Untapped is their first chance to showcase their art to the community in a gallery.

Artwork included in this exhibit was selected by a volunteer jury of local artists who examined the submissions based on formal elements of art including, but not limited to, line, composition, colour, subject matter and overall skill demonstrated. More than 70 pieces of art will be on display by emerging artists from Brockville, Prescott, Kingston and Cornwall, including local high school students from St. Mary Catholic High School, TISS and BCI. “It’s an honour for us to launch our third annual art show for aspiring artists, Untapped 3: The Art of Now.

February 2014 housing starts remain stable in Canada Business — Housing starts in Canada were trending at 192,236 units in February compared to 191,513 in January, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

“The trend in housing starts remained stable in February for the seventh consecutive month. Since August 2013, the trend has essentially remained in the 185,000 to 195,000 range, with monthto-month variations generally of two per cent or less. This is in line with CMHC’s outlook calling for a stable housing market in 2014,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC. CMHC uses the trend measure as a

Your

complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 192,094 units in February, an increase from 180,481 in January. The SAAR of urban starts increased by 7.5 per cent in February to 175,584 units. Multiple urban starts increased by 13.3 per cent to 116,458 units in February while the single-detached urban starts segment decreased by 2.4 per cent to 59,126 units.

In February, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Atlantic Canada and Quebec, they were stable in Ontario, and decreased in the Prairies and British Columbia.

Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 16,510 units.

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

A few dozen people were on hand last Saturday at Prescott’s Leo Boivin Community Centre to watch Hockey Night in Canada on the big screen and to wait anxiously for the second intermission, when it was announced that the Fort Town had been selected one of the top 16 teams in the Kraft Hockeyville contest. After the announcement, Mayor Brett Todd congratulated local campaign organizer Chris Veltkamp for the achievement, one which now entitles Prescott to $25,000 in arena upgrades.

Voting for the next round to determine which communities would be among the top four closed at midnight, Monday, March 10. Third and fourth place finishers receive $50,000 in arena upgrades while second place finisher gets $100,000. The grand prize is also $100,000 in arena upgrades, a community feature on CBC and the hosting of a National Hockey League exhibition game.

this, the organizations involved will be identifying gaps and opportunities to promote a shift towards more equal and balanced development. The 2014 IYFF will promote discussion and cooperation at the national, regional, and global levels. It will also increase public awareness about the challenges faced by smallholders and identify means to support them.

The General Assembly of the United Nations has declared 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming (IYFF). During the event, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization will aid in the multilateral collaboration of governments, international development institutions, farmers’ organizations, and non-governmental organizations involved in this sector.

The goal of the IYFF is to raise the profile of family farming and smallholder farming by focusing the world’s attention on its significant role in alleviating poverty, improving food security, managing natural resources, protecting the environment, and achieving sustainable development.

The 2014 IYFF is an attempt to reposition family farming at the centre of

What is family farming?

The year 2014 has been designated International Year of Family Farming by the General Assembly of the United Nations. This year-long event aims to raise the profile of family farming because of its important role in alleviating poverty, providing food security, and protecting the environment.

Family farming includes all familybased agricultural activities in connection with rural development. Family farming is a means of organizing all kinds of food or fibre production, including agriculture, for-

estry, fisheries, pastoral (breeding), and fish farming. By nature, it relies on the labour of family members, both women and men.

Across the globe, in both developing and developed countries, family farming is the predominant form of agriculture in the food production sector. Family farming is essential, as it ensures world food security. It also preserves traditional food products, while contributing to the world’s agro-biodiversity and the sustainable use of

MARKETS

The berry’s oil is good for the skin, which is why sea buckthorn is used in the making of nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and medications throughout Europe and Asia. The berries can be processed into juice, jams, cereal bars, alcoholic drinks, and teas and used as a tonic for stomach and intestinal ulcers, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Here on our shores, chefs and cosmetics companies are getting on the bandwagon with many new products containing sea buckthorn berries.

Have you ever heard of sea buckthorn berries? Even though they are a long-time favourite in Europe and Asia, they have only recently appeared in North America. While the shrub is usually used here as a windbreak or as a way to prevent soil erosion, most people are still unfamiliar with the surprising properties of the berries.

Sea buckthorn berries are yellow-orange fruits, about the size of a cranberry. And, like the cranberry, their tart taste can be quite a surprise. The sea buckthorn is a thorny perennial shrub whose leaves resemble those of the olive tree. It requires well-drained soil and lots of sun, but little fertilizing. As a plant native to Siberia, it is very resistant to cold temperatures.

Health Unit dietitian shares how to cook on a budget Lifestyle – Although it may seem like the pre-made or prepackaged ready for the table food is cheaper, making meals at home can stretch the food dollar.

Registered Dietitian Meena Tipper of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit feels that purchasing less ex-

pensive cuts of meat that can be marinated are just as tasty as the prime cuts.

Adding a basic marinade of vinegar, lemon juice, canola oil to pork shoulder, lamb shanks, outside or inside eye of round, blade or shank steak, beef brisket, chicken pieces (legs, thighs) or whole chicken adds flavour while it tenderizes.

Before putting chicken in marinade, remove skin to cut down on fats.

A basic meat marinade from Eat Right Ontario is comprised of the following which makes three quarters of a cup: Âź cup or 60 mL low sodium soy sauce Âź cup or 60 mL

vegetable oil ½ tsp or 2 mL garlic power or two minced garlic cloves Ÿ cup or 60 mL lemon juice or orange juice Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk. In a sealed container put meat

and marinade. Refrigerate for at least four hours (or overnight). Remove meat to cook and discard marinade. Do not reuse marinade.

Another great tip is to have one meatless meal a week.

Think protein-rich choices such as lentils, black beans or chickpeas. Add chickpeas or lentils to pasta and vegetable salads.

Some meat alternatives are curried chickpeas and rice, a vegetable cheese omelet, vegetarian bean chili, egg salad sandwiches, tofu stir-fry or a lentil casserole or soup. “When you are using things like black beans in tacos or kidney beans or chickpeas in a chili, you are incorporating these foods into foods that you already like,� suggested Tipper. “Chickpeas will take on the flavour of what you are cooking it with.

If you put lentils, chickpeas or beans into chili or a spaghetti sauce, it’s something that you are already adding spices to.�

Tipper suggests making your own spaghetti sauce as ready-made can be costly and are high in fat, sugar or salt.

Spaghetti sauce is easy to make with lightly sautĂŠed onions and garlic in a little olive or vegetable oil. Add low sodium canned tomatoes and simmer. Season with pepper and herbs (basil or oregano) and to this add beans, chickpeas or ground beef.

Plus vegetables, mushrooms, zucchini, chopped spinach, carrots or green peppers can be added. What a simple meal.

Freeze any extra leftover sauce for another meal.

Root vegetables less expensive “If you have a large family, usually you can get a large bag of potatoes for not a lot of money,� said Tipper. “If you buy the three pound of carrots versus the baby carrots, you get a lot more carrots. Rutabagas tend to be less than a dollar a pound.�

Vegetables can be roasted, mashed, baked and get a lot of nutrients for less money. Use as a side dish or eat as leftovers. “When you are looking at frozen vegetables, they are just as nutritious as fresh,� indicated Tipper. “Make sure there are not any added sauces which can be high in saturated fat and sodium.�

Some tips for shopping: • know what your family likes to eat, • plan meals around foods on sale, • make a weekly menu, • use coupons, • shop at grocery stores or supermarkets for cheaper prices and variety, • do not shop when hungry, • buy in season, or if out of season purchase frozen or canned.

For more budget friendly menus, recipe ideas, tips for grocery shopping or planning meals, talk to a registered dietitian for free by calling 1-800-660-5853 or visit the www.healthunit.org or go directly to www.eatrightontario.ca.

Ryan nets four, Blackhawks win 11-6 over the Gryphons Sports - The ‘Scorpio Line’ was red hot throughout the first half of the season but the second half has been a struggle for the trio. Until now.

Two games ago the ‘Velvet Fog’ Rob Carter snapped out of his prolonged slump with a three-goal performance.

Last week centreman J R ‘Buckleys’ Ryan rippled the corded igloos four times to lead the Island City Blackhawks to an 11-6 victory over the Gananoque Gryphons at the ‘Barn on Broadway’.

“Wow going eight games without scoring was both different and frustrating for me. I was getting some good looks they just weren’t finding the back of the net.

Tonight I felt really good out there and I had all kinds of great scoring chances.

Playing with Wayne and Robbie makes it easy. Tyler (Markell) also set me up for a couple of tap ins tonight. We have a good bunch here,” Ryan said.

The win was the Hawks’ 23rd of the season and only their eighth on home ice.

Fortunately for the Island City lads all their remaining three games are at home.

Perhaps the biggest highlight for the Blackhawk players was watching the senior statesman Jeff ‘Youngblood’ June score his career high 20th goal of the year.

“It’s nice to see Wayne, Rob and JR start scoring again, that gives us a one two punch, two hot scoring lines, Juner getting his 20th tonight too was very special. If anybody deserves it, it’s Juner.

He works so hard and so it’s nice to see him get rewarded for all his hard work.

His line has really strong chemistry right now, they seem to play for each other,” Blackhawk management stated outside the team’s locker room.

“Yeah for sure it was really cool to see Youngblood score his 20th. He’s one

Heading to the third up 9-5, the Blackhawks shut down the hard working Gryphons and didn’t allow the visitors a chance to steal their momentum.

Besides Ryan’s four goals, which is his second four goal game of the season, his ‘Scorpio Line’ linemate Carter also contributed with a pair. Each member of the ‘My Generation Line’ scored, June, Daryl ‘Stumpy’ Whiteland and his nephew ‘The Rookie’ Jordy Whiteland. ‘The Rubberman’ Jason Perkins and the ‘Smilin Assassin’ Tyler Markell had the other Blackhawk markers in this one.

On the injury front, the team is getting healthier, Fred ‘Bubbles’ Dunnington is

still out with an upper body injury and is listed as day to day. ‘The Ageless Wonder’ Peter Culp has been cleared by team doctors to return and he is expected to be in the line up for this Saturday evenings game. Culp has been out for 10 weeks with what the team is calling an upper body injury. “We are getting closer to icing our actual team and that hasn’t happened too much this season,” management said in an optimistic tone.

Next up for the Island City lads at the ‘Barn on Broadway’ is the Kemptville Classics, puck drop is 6 p.m. not 9 p.m.

This game marks the debut of Tyler ‘Tiny’ Dunnington in goal for the Hawks.

of our leaders and for him to do what he does especially with his body hurting the way it does. That’s very inspirational for the rest of us, he leaves everything on the ice. My only goal now for our last three games is to help Wayne score 20 goals this year, he’s at 17 now. He’s been such a strong playmaker for our line it would be nice to see him reach that plateau,” Ryan continued.

The Broadway Avenue Boys escaped the first period up 3-2, and were up 3-1 at one point. So why is that such a big deal? Well the Gryphons scored three unanswered goals to capture their first and only lead of the game 4-3 just five minutes into that second.

That may have been the wake-up call the Blackhawks needed. They wouldn’t be able to mail it in against this hungry Gananoque group.

“Once we were down, it’s like we flicked a switch. From there we went on to totally dominate the Gryphons scoring six times in that second alone. They have a great goalie and some pretty skilled and hard working players over there. The Gryphons could have easily left town with the win,” management babbled on.
