Leeds-Grenville MS walkers top $35,000 raised for local chapter

By DOREEN BARNES

More than $35,000 was raised for the Multiple Sclerosis Leeds and Grenville Chapter, during the 18th annual Mandarin MS Walk in Brockville.

All money raised in Leeds and Grenville stays in this area to assist those afflicted with MS. The walk took place Sunday, May 24.

Top fundraiser was Kory Crowder and Alicia St. John using their weekly auctions for MS on Facebook (www. facebook.com/groups/AuctionsforMS/), as well as donating funds from last year’s Community Yard Sale and Vendor Event.

This year’s upcoming second annual Community Yard Sale and Vendor Event will be held June 28 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the parking lot of Vanier Public School in Brockville.

All ages collected money to help with this walk, including nine-year-old Josh Puddy and his family from Chesterville.

“I want to get my mother a cure,” said Puddy, who raised $248 to donate.

Money instead of toys To raise this money, Puddy asked for money instead of toys at Christmas, and as time passed he suggested the family enter a team to walk.

Puddy’s mother, Shelley Cole, and several other family members came together to make the 2I2BT (Too Inspired to Be Tired) team of 15 individuals.

Cole was diagnosed 10 years ago with multiple sclerosis and currently walks with the aid of a cane.

Another team called MonSter Slayers was comprised of Melissa Rowe, Heather Price, Tracey, who has MS, three-year-old William and Melissa’s dog Ivan.

This was the first walk for Heather Price showing support for her niece Tracey, who has MS. Some research news was also shared about the dyadic physical activity program for people with moderate to severe MS and their caregivers.

The School of Rehabilitation Therapy at Queen’s University is conducting a study to determine if there’s a need for a leisure-time physical activity.

Also, exciting news about the mesenchymal stem cells study, wherein it has been found that the body including the bone marrow, skin and fat can be used to suppress inflammation and repair nerve tissue.

Currently, the Ottawa site has received ethics approval to screen potential candidates for participation.

Those eligible are men and women ages 18 to 50 years of age with multiple sclerosis.

Big band ends jazz festival on a high note

R0013295800_0528

Attendance at the 1000 Islands Jazz and Blues Festival’s last concert, held at First Presbyterian Church in Brockville featuring The Grey Jazz Big Band on Saturday, was low, but the appreciation of the music was evident. The band played favourites like Sweet Georgia Brown and many more. Known as accomplished musicians, the Grey Jazz Big Band has performed for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. The dinner/dance with Sue Baker and the 1000 Islands Jazz Trio was sold out on Friday; the festival opened with Great Music Guys on Thursday.

Taking the stage before Stanton will be local entrepreneur Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks.

Sparks and her father, high tech mogul Terry Matthews, are revitalizing the former Nepean National Equestrian Park off Corkstown Road with the goal of attracting top-flight show jumping competitors to Ottawa.

Golf pro-am will boost DoefStrong, Lanark County Support Services Two local causes in the Smiths Falls area will benefit from the upcoming golf pro-am featuring Brooke and Brittany Henderson.

The event at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club on Monday, June 15 will raise money for Lanark County Support Services and the DoefStrong Trust Fund. However, admittance to the Magenta Mortgage Pro-Am presented by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick and GMC Cadillac Ltd. in support of the Team Henderson 110% Club as well as the Canadian Women’s Tour event on June 16-17 is free to spectators.

Founded in 1981, Lanark County Support Services provides the opportunity for adults and young people with developmental disabilities to become more independent in the community. Programs offered include life skills, activity centre, transition support services and an after-school initiative.

The trust fund is in support of Neil Doef, the

Smiths Falls Jr. A Bear who sustained a devastating spinal cord injury during the World Junior A Hockey Challenge in Saskatchewan in December. Fundraising since then has generated nearly $250,000. “Neil and his family deeply appreciate this financial support as it helps to remove a major hurdle during his rehabilitation process,” a Team Henderson release stated.

More than 120 amateur golfers have already singed up for the pro-am; they will be teamed with 31 professional golfers, including the host Henderson sisters.

Parking at the Smiths Falls club is limited, so Frank Healey Transportation will run a free shuttle service from County Fair Mall all three days.

For more information about the pro-am and tour stop in Smiths Falls in mid-June, join the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/ events/368676570003976/.

“Our best ambassadors are members of our business community who are dedicated to the region and the lifestyle it offers,” Weir said.

The Invest profile is 26 pages and the Discover guide is 36 pages. Both documents feature photography and testimonials from people who live, work and visit this region.

“These are real people with inspiring and real stories,” Weir said.

Two profile-raising publications are now in circulation to attract business investment to Leeds Grenville and entice a larger audience to the region’s iconic 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Waterways.

The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Economic Development Office launched Invest: Where Lifestyle Grows Good Business and Discover: 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Waterways to counties council on Thursday, May 21.

“The Invest publication is the first of its kind for Leeds Grenville,” said Warden Dave Gordon, mayor of North Grenville. It contains an economic overview of the counties and highlights its transportation assets with details on the region’s six business and industrial parks. Locator maps, community growth opportunities, business resources, key sector data, labour force stats and business leader testimonials are also found in the profile.

“The companion Discover community guide showcases why Leeds Grenville is a great place to live and visit,” Warden Gordon said. The guide replaces a smaller promotional piece published in 2007.

Discover explores what this region is famous for: the 1000 Islands, Rideau Canal Waterways and St. Lawrence Seaway, along with the many natural, cultural and historic attractions Leeds Grenville has to offer. A section on “What Locals Know” showcases why people choose to live and visit here. The region’s 13 municipalities are profiled.

Ask the Gananoque police chief… almost anything back in the fall of 2014, there were only eight people in attendance; yet the group held an interesting and informative meeting. “The focus of the questions at the last were based on the economics of policing and what are we doing to keep our costs under control,” explained Hull.

The Gananoque department recently came under attack after the annual “Sunshine List” was released earlier this year. It was simply a matter of people not having all the facts, assured Hull.

“The Gananoque Police Service had an accumulated sick bank. So ev-

The second annual “Ask the Chief” will be held at the Gananoque Emergency Services building at 340 Herbert St. on Thursday, June 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Chief Garry Hull has said that he plans on hosting two “ask the chief” events per year. “It’s a way that I can get engaged with the public and I can answer any questions that they have about policing whether it’s local, municipal or even national issues regarding policing,” said Hull.

ery year, each officer got 12 sick days or 144 hours of sick leave,” said Hull.

“Whatever wasn’t used went into a bank and so over the years, especially the senior people who have been around awhile (because sick time is not an issue here), they had accumulated a hefty sum in their sick bank and so at the last round of negotiations with the Police Services Board association, the association agreed to negotiate that out of the contract and to be paid out at 50 per cent of the accumulated value.”

The town had been funding that all along, so it was not like they had to come up with the money all of a sudden; it had been funded over the years so the money was there, and so by negotiating that out of the contract it created a little bit of savings on the overall budget, about one per cent over the year.

“Now they can no longer accumulate sick days,” assured Hull. “Any days not used can go into a bank to be used at a later time or be paid out, but cut from 12 days to six and must be used every year, not accumulated. So it’s a big savings for the town.”

By holding an “Ask the Chief” evening, it provides an informal get-together; anyone in the municipality or the surrounding area who wishes to attend is more than welcome. It is an opportunity to meet Chief Hull in a relaxed and welcoming surrounding as well as a chance to speak freely and ask whatever questions the public might have about policing, whether it is local, provincial or even national.

“I also welcome any questions or comments from members of the community attending on what we can do to improve our relations with members of the community,” said Hull. “I think that our relationship with the majority of the community is very good. I think that we have a lot of support from the community. The service, the officers and the civilians that work here are all professional and they have good work ethics.”

the only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked; people need to understand that I am making myself available because I am genuinely interested in the community. This isn’t just something that I’m doing because I have nothing better to do on a Thursday night in June.

I am genuinely interested in what is important to members of the community.

Whether it be stakeholders from mental health, shopkeepers, store owners or the general public, it matters not to me. I welcome anyone that wants to come.”

Hull points out that there is a new business plan, created in 2014, on the website, available for all to read. It lists goals and objectives over a three-year period and Hull himself just gave a report to council three weeks ago which states that they have either met or exceeded each objective according to the business plan thus far.

“There is a small percentage of the people that we deal with on a large percentage of the time,” explained Hull.

“Their opinions may differ from the 95 per cent of the public who we are out to ensure that they’re interaction with that five per cent is kept to a minimum.”

Hull’s philosophy on policing is to engage the community as much and as often as possible. He believes the police need the public’s assistance as much if not more than the public sometimes need theirs. “The flow of information and the dialogue back and forth is key to us understanding what the issues are within the town and also assisting us with solving some of those issues in the town.”

“I really want people to understand that I sincerely want people to come out and I want them to ask questions,” said Hull. “There is an old saying that

Bringing resources to young people at annual youth fair

By CONAN de VRIES

It was a gym full of good information and valuable contacts at a youth fair held at Prescott’s South Grenville District High School last Wednesday, May 20.

The 13th annual event, organized and hosted by Prescottbased Connect Youth, featured exhibits and presentations by 28 different organizations from throughout the region that offer services of use or interest to younger people.

“We bring them in to make the youth aware of what’s in the community,” said Connect Youth’s Victoria Robertson. “We bring the resources to them.”

A variety of youth advocacy and service agencies were represented in the gym, as were organizations such as the United Way of Leeds and Grenville, the Brockville YMCA, the Ontario Provincial Police and Brockville’s Employment and Education Centre. There were also various displays warning both elementary and high school students against the dangers of everything from smoking to gambling to debt.

“They don’t get education in managing money at home and they don’t seem to be getting it

at school,” said Mary Huntley, of K3 Credit Counselling, one of the exhibitors at the fair.

Some of the exhibits pertained to matters that might not at first blush catch the attention of the students wandering through the gym but which nevertheless would give them valuable information.

“It may not be something they need now but maybe when they’re in Grade 12 or maybe when they’re 30 years old,” said Robertson.

Students were encouraged to take part in an information scavenger hunt that would require them to not just casually glance at the displays as they pass by but to stop and talk to the people manning the booths and learn what they were all about.

It also helped students find out where there might be opportunities to do some volunteer work, of which students need at least 40 hours before they can graduate.

“That’s really big,” says Robertson. “There are a lot of volunteer opportunities.”

The St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival offered some of the more creative volunteer positions available at the fair and also took the opportunity to promote the youth

programs it will be offering this summer, including a brand new Young Artists Training program for youth aged 6-12.

“We want to get the word out that we’ve got some really great youth programs,” said festival volunteer co-ordinator Eleanor Miller.

There were also some volunteer opportunities open to adults.

Kristina Bowes, volunteer engagement co-ordinator with the Canadian Cancer Society, talked to students about the disease and about ways they could help in the search for a cure, including the school’s upcoming Relay for Life event, but she also mentioned that the society is in desperate need of drivers to transport cancer patients to and from doctor’s appointments. The need is most pressing in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kitley, Cardinal and Athens.

“We need volunteer drivers in lots of area, but in these areas, we are in desperate need,” said Bowes.

Anybody who wants to help out behind the wheel can contact the Canadian Cancer Society by phone at 613-267-1058 or tollfree at 1-800-367-2913.

Street Fair time in Brockville

Local Shriners Joe Maggio, Wally Adamson and Pal Perkins are shown at the 2014 Street Fair in Brockville. This year’s visit by the fun attraction continues in the 1000 Islands Mall parking lot into the weekend.

Letter to the Editor

Provincial volunteer award winner feels honoured

Thank you to the media, community, YMCA of Brockville and I have been volunteering for 70 years in Brockville not realizing Area and Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) for your love that I would ever have the privilege for being recognized for doing and support. Thank you! something I love doing.

Audrey Beedie I feel very honoured to receive the June Callwood Achievement Brockville Award for Voluntarism.

DEAR EDITOR:

We’ve got to hand it to Bill Rogerson, executive director of the Aquatarium. He started his presentation to the Greater Brockville Ad & Sales Club last week by acknowledging the elephant in the room: challenges that have repeatedly pushed back the opening of the anchor tourist attraction in Brockville’s downtown waterfront. Rogerson said he could not indicate exactly when the Aquatarium would be open to the public, but the facility will open sometime in 2015.

We arrived at the sales club gathering that night wondering how Rogerson and his colleague, Director of Development Trish Buote, would handle the opening date saga. As much as the plans for the 25,000-square-foot attraction are quite impressive and, if realized, will serve as an incredible showcase for the Brockville-1000 Islands area, the ongoing uncertainty about when the Aquatarium will open has not given the public much in the way of confidence about how their tax dollars (totalling millions from the federal, provincial and municipal levels) are being spent. To their credit, Rogerson and Buote made the most of the situation by acknowledging it and even making light of what has become a chronic challenge for staff and supporters of the facility.

Time will tell to what extent the repeated delays will affect the Aquatarium’s history and its legacy. We suspect that visitors and most of the public will be impressed by the many interactive and innovative features that are now in place or soon will be, and perhaps the end result will wash away the apprehension and uncertainty that persists in certain circles as the summer of 2015 approaches and no opening date has been announced. There seem to be a lot of people who are very excited about the Aquatarium’s potential and understandably so, and we respect their enthusiasm. But we understand why there are others who might need to be convinced that the opening of Brockville’s worldclass attraction is worth the frustration and the wait.

New aprons and pinnys were a tradition each year

Mother blamed it all on a busy winter. There always seemed to be something to do when the icy blasts of the long cold nights pounded the old log house. Things that prevented Mother from a winter job that didn’t get done that year! And that was sewing up a batch of new aprons.

Other years, the old singer sewing machine stood at the ready...for those few minutes Mother could squeeze into an evening, when she would churn out another pinny, and sometimes she could make at least two on a quiet evening.

But that year, the quilt frame stayed in the kitchen against the North wall until the winter was over. And most nights it was rolled out and Mother and Audrey stitched after supper, sometimes until it was time to go to bed. And so, the sewing up of a fresh batch of aprons had to

wait.

Now it was time.

Flour bags from the mill in Renfrew had been washed, soaked in javel water, washed a few times more, and stretched out on the clothesline to dry. They had been split open and Mother was able to get most of the coloured printing out of them. The stubborn ones which refused to give up their “pride of the valley” lettering would be made into everyday Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104 Director of Advertising Cheryl Hammond cheryl.hammond@metroland.com 613-221-6218 General Manager Cindy Manor cmanor@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 164 Editor in Chief Ryland Coyne rcoyne@perfprint.ca

tea towels, and sometimes, bloomers for me, which caused me great embarrassment if anyone accidentally saw the printing if I had to bend over.

Aprons, or pinnys as we called them, were as important as the braided rugs on the floor. Flour bags made up the bulk of the aprons, but once a year Mother went to Walker’s Store in Renfrew and bought a few yards of a heavy white cotton that came on a long roller, not folded like the many bolts of Dan River cotton on the shelves, and this material was turned into longer aprons, which I thought at the time were made for someone at least six feet tall! They covered your entire body, from your neck to below your knees and for me that meant right to the floor, with a goodly portion about my feet like a bed sheet.

I had to wear one of these long pin-

nys when I churned butter, covering me from my chin to my ankles. And Mother wore a clean one every day. Because, even if there wasn’t a spot on it, it had to be changed for a clean fresh one when she started her day. One of these long pinnys hung on a nail at the back door too, just in case some unexpected visitor came calling. It would never do to greet someone in anything but a freshly washed and ironed pinny!

If there was any of this store-bought cotton left over, a few bibbed aprons, and half aprons were made and these were trimmed with pieces of Dan River cotton. Mother even made smaller aprons for me, and I was expected to wear one no matter what chore I was doing in the house. An apron was necessary, and that’s all there was to it!

When Father was cooking up a meal

of his German foods, he too, of course, had to wear a long white pinny. His wasn’t to cover his clothes and keep them free of flying grease, but rather to give him something to wipe his hands on when he was stirring the pans and pots on the stove. By the time his meal was ready, the apron was ready for the wash.

My favourite aprons were the ones with bibs, which had a frill around them, always in a contrast to the apron itself. These were considered ‘ company’ aprons.

Besides the one always-clean white apron that hung at the back door in case of unexpected company, all the aprons were kept in a washstand under the window looking out into the back

He only just turned seven years old, but already Lachlan Barton has a very mature perspective on the world and on his place in it.

A couple of months ago, during a Bible study class, the home-schooled youngster from Cardinal was taught about “walking a mile in someone else’s shoes” and was appalled to learn that children not unlike him in Uganda had to walk miles for a risky gulp of filthy water.

“He was just disgusted,” says his mother, Theressa. “He asked why we can’t give them water.”

Explaining to the Grade 1 student the logistical and practical difficulties of getting water into the impoverished third world didn’t deter him from wanting to make some effort in that direction. “He couldn’t see why we couldn’t do something about it,” says Theressa.

Fortunately, a friend of the Barton family works with Gospel for Asia, a registered charity on a mission to spread the Good News throughout the poorest countries of Asia while helping make tangible improvements in the lives of those they save. One of the many ways in which they do this is by building wells – Jesus Wells they call them – which can bring life-saving clean water to a poor village for only $1,400.

Lachlan now has an online fundraising campaign up and running at Gospel for Asia’s donation site, with the goal of raising the necessary $1,400.

And this weekend, the Bartons and 10 other local families will be holding a giant fundraising garage sale in Cardinal, with all proceeds going towards the well.

“There are piles of bags and boxes stacking up in the house now waiting for the garage sale,” says Theressa. “It should be a really large sale.”

The whole Barton family is behind Lachlan’s charitable enterprise; in fact, his older sister, Sienna, will be busking at this weekend’s Prescott Farmers’

Recognizing the efforts of emergency responders On Saturday, May 9, KIA Brockville held an Emergency Services Day. This event, an idea of Zena Michel and Sherri Dufton, came together to showcase the many emergency services the Brockville community has available to it.

This was an excellent transition from Emergency Preparedness Week to Brockville Police Week.

Thousand Islands Ground Search and Rescue (TIGSAR) is so grateful for the professionals and other volunteer organizations that took the time out of their busy schedules to take part in this event.

Brockville Fire, Ellizabethtown Kitley Fire, OPP, Canadian Blood Services, Red Cross, Safe Communities Brockville, Brockville Police, Leeds-Grenville EMS and the RCMP Child ID Kits. We appreciate so very much what you all do for our community. Thank you also to The Butcher Shop for the great BBQ and fantastic food.

KIA of Brockville presented a cheque to TIGSAR for $500 following the charity BBQ. TIGSAR is a 100 per cent volunteer not-for-profit registered charity. These volunteers commit their time and talents

to assist the police in their efforts to find lost, missing or injured person(s) in the community.

The team is comprised of volunteers from the community who train regularly in the classroom and in practical field exercises to maintain their basic searcher certification as mandated by Ontario Provincial Police.

As well, the team trains in community emergency response in order to support our local authorities in the event of a natural disaster. In addition, the team has members certified in providing both Hug-a-Tree and Adventure Smart programs which are provided free for school children and youth groups. These programs teach people the three Ts: Tell someone where you are going; Train in the activity of choice; and Take the essentials.

TIGSAR is proud to be a small part of the services available to the Brockville community and looks forward to supporting the communities in the future.

Tunis Shriners #179

Annual Ceremonial and Visitation

June 5th & 6th, 2015

Local Shriners wish all visitors an enjoyable and rewarding stay in Brockville The Brockville and District Shrine Club will be hosting the Tunis Shriners Ceremonial and Visitation from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7.

Shriners from across Eastern Canada and the American northeast will gather in the beautiful City of the 1000 Islands for a weekend of fellowship and friendship.

“We hope your stay will be an enjoyable and rewarding one with us,” said Paul “Pal” Perkins, president of the Brockville-based club.

International Shriners Day will be marked on Friday, June 5.

There will be a flag-raising and proclamation at the historic Railway Tunnel near city hall in downtown Brockville at 3 p.m. There will be guest speakers and dignitaries as well as re-enactors at the ceremony.

The main public display involving the local and visiting Shriners will be the parade in Brockville on Saturday afternoon (June 6).

The procession will form at Commonwealth Public School and head west on Pearl Street East at 1 p.m. The parade will continue south on Park Street to King and then west to Market Street East. The procession will go down the hill, turn left onto Water Street and continue a short distance to the end of the route.

Spectators are welcome to catch a glimpse of the action and say hi as the Shriners display their distinctive red fezzes and they make their way into downtown Brockville.

“We extend an invitation to the people of Brockville and area to view our parade on Saturday afternoon,” Perkins stated.

In addition to taking care of business matters (such as the initiation of new members) and attending formal and informal social events at venues such as the Royal Canadian Legion and Brockville Convention Centre on Friday and Saturday as well as the goodbye breakfast on Sunday, the Shriners will also have an opportunity to raise awareness of their ongoing efforts to support children with burns and crippling orthopaedic diseases through the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal and similar facilities throughout North America.

The Shriners have been active in the Brockville area since the 1920s. The city was chosen to be the site of this year’s gathering because of the warm reception given in the past and the dedication of the local club over the years, according to Perkins.

Brotherhood, family, leadership and giving Letters from Dignitaries back are among values upheld by shriners Shriners International is an organization of brothers.

The fraternity that was formed in the 1870s is based on the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Shriners believe in brotherhood, family, leadership and giving back.

The movement is open to men of integrity from all walks of life. There are now about 200 chapters and thousands of clubs around the world.

The Brockville & District Shrine Club dates back to 1922. The Tunis Temple based in Ottawa was established in 1975, and the Right Honourable John Diefenbaker, a former prime minister, served as the first potentate.

Shriners and their distinctive red fezzes can often be seen at parades,

The Right Honourable John Diefenbaker served as first Potentate of Tunis Temple after being Prime Minister of Canada.

where Shriner klowns entertain spectators of all ages.

Members of the fraternity in the Brockville district take part in fundraising breakfasts, barbecues and poker runs as well as other events and host street fairs as part of their ongoing efforts to give back to the community by supporting Shriners Hospitals for Children.

As the saying goes, “No man stands so tall, as when he stoops to help a child.”

Part of the Shriners International creed is that caring for the less fortunate – and especially youngsters suffering from burns and crippling diseases – is the fraternity’s institutional calling.

Fresh, funky and fabulous!

Amazing Places initiative receives Ontario Trillium funding Representatives from three biosphere reserves gathered at the Frontenac Arch Biosphere office in Lansdowne on Friday, May 22 to accept a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their work on the Amazing Places project.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark was also present to congratulate all on their hard work and dedication to this amazing project.

“I happen to think that the Amazing Places program is going to be a big success,” began Clark. “I want to thank Ontario Trillium for their generosity and also their commitment to improving the region and protecting the environment in Ontario.”

He also acknowledged the work the Frontenac Arch Biosphere does in the region. “As one of only 16 UNESCO world biospheres in Canada, 610 worldwide, you do a great job improving sustainable development in our region, celebrate nature, livelihood, our well-being and our culture and I just can’t say enough about the good work that the biosphere does here in our area.”

Clark declared his great pride to live in such a wondrous place. “We live here in Leeds & Grenville and along the Frontenac Arch, in a beautiful area. It’s our responsibility to protect it and I think that we have to recognize the Frontenac Arch Biosphere as a leader and an example to follow.”

He commended the Ontario Trillium foundation for fostering collaboration among the three Ontario Biosphere reserves in the grant. “It’s amazing that both people from Long Point and Georgian Bay are here today,” added Clark.

Amazing Places is going to be a very valuable project in the community. “It is actually a followthrough on a project we three biosphere reserves piloted for the Ontario Ministry of Tourism in 2014,” said Don Ross, project manager. “It’s all about working with the community to identify those amazing places in each region that are at the roots of our sense of place and community pride. In this project, we will identify more amazing places, expand the web portal that shares such places here and at home and world-wide.”

The $260,200 grant is shared among the three reserves.

“I just can’t get over how well the biospheres connect and partner with schools, museums, community partners,” said Clark. “The fact that you work so diligently to build partnerships in your regions, I think it really serves to show the success of the biosphere reserves.”

Clark chuckled that the plaque will be going on tour in the three reserves, “just like the Stanley cup.”

Becky Pollock, of Georgian Bay, is the provincial co-ordinator on the Amazing Places project for the next 24 months. “I am delighted to be working with Andrea, Brittany and Troy on moving this forward, and we do hope to engage our partners in the Niagara escarpment biosphere reserve very soon.”

She thanked the province for continuing their commitment to amazing places. “It started as a pilot program, and was really built on the success of New Brunswick’s Fundy Biosphere reserve where they have the world’s highest high and amazing

national park that sees a million visitors.”

“We do know that the Ministry of Tourism last year was keen on the pilot and the results were outstanding,” Pollock remarked, “We reached over 200,000 people on social media in three months.”

A biosphere reserve is not often an easy concept and the UNESCO designation of the landscape doesn’t actually tell people how to experience it.

“Frontenac Arch Biosphere has been a leader in that with their Fab Experiences program and doing a lot of the work to get people to experience the rich diversity of natural and cultural heritage here.

We really are a little jealous in Georgian Bay,” GF-AC Consumer Offer #1 added Pollock.

Don Ross recognized board members John MacLeod, Jane Topping, Celia Medcalf and Liz Savil, who were able to join them for the presentation on Friday. “They are four of almost 20 board mem-

bers.”

“This was a pilot project that began last year, funded over a very short time period through tourism development fund,” explained Ross. “The idea was to work with the community to nominate places that they felt were especially special, that provided their own sense of place in the region, either natural or cultural heritage sites.”

“In our area last year, we had 56 places nominated,” explained Ross. “The nominating committee narrowed that down to 10 amazing places.”

“The website will be open for people to nominate again, and again the committee will narrow down to 10, and again the next year,” explained Ross. “We will wind up with 30 amazing places.”

Vision of the future serves up classic Disney fun MOVIE: Tomorrowland STARRING: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw and Hugh Laurie DIRECTOR: Brad Bird RATING: PG Imagine a place that lives just outside of our space and time. A place created by the best and brightest designed to be a haven for genius and creativity. A place where anything is possible. That place is Tomorrowland.

When Frank (George Clooney) was just a boy he traveled to the World’s Fair to win the invention contest. He didn’t win, but he did get the notice of a young

BROCKVILLE

My Take

Mark haskins

girl named Athena (Raffey Cassidy) who invited him to Tomorrowland.

When Casey (Britt Robertson) touches a strange pin she gets a vision of a wonderful place – a place with beautiful spires, levitating trains, kids playing

with jet packs, and all kinds of amazing things. It’s a vision of Tomorrowland.

Athena gives that pin to Casey. She gives it to her because there’s something very wrong with Tomorrowland.

It’s something that Athena believes only Casey can fix, but first she has to get Casey to Tomorrowland. And the only person who can do that is Frank.

Since his exile from Tomorrowland, Frank has become a bitter recluse.

When Casey shows up at his door he’s less than thrilled. When the killer robots show up, his mood gets even worse. Together, with Athena’s help, they go to Tomorrowland to see what can be done.

Even Frank begins to see there’s something about Casey. She just knows how things work, and if something isn’t done soon it will be more than Tomorrowland that falls.

It feels like it’s been a while since there’s been a film like Tomorrowland.

A live-action adventure the whole family can enjoy. The visuals and effects are beautiful. It strikes that delicate balance between thrilling and heartwarming. It manages to mix the adventure with just the right amount of humour. It points out the problems with the world, but makes its plea for saving it with a healthy dose of optimism. This is classic Disney.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER).

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

The collection of actors mixes some well known names with some new upand-comers. Tim McGraw, who’s a famous country music singer, is also a pretty good actor. While it may be hard to picture him as a NASA engineer I had no trouble seeing him as a concerned father. Raffey Cassidy is the big scene stealer as she goes from sweet and charming to destroying killer robots.

Britt Robertson easily takes to the role of brilliant rebel. Her character is the perfect combination of brains, spirit and optimism.

I love a villain I can agree with in principal if not in action. Hugh Laurie is that villain. He’s especially good at being that arrogant person who’s always right, and believes that being right justifies his actions.

It’s hard to remember the last bad film George Clooney did, especially since I’ve convinced myself Batman and Robin never happened. In Tomorrrowland his wry humour and intelligence make him ideal to play the brilliant yet jaded visionary.

Tomorrowland is a fun film plain and simple.

Friday, May 15 was opening day for Closer than Ever, the season opener at the 1000 Islands Playhouse in Gananoque.

The play was produced in association with Western Canada Theatre in Kamloops, BC and was directed by Daryl Cloran, the same director of the playhouse hit Boeing Boeing in 2013 and The Importance of Being Ernest in 2014.

Closer than Ever has been referred to as a “how-to” guide for all of life’s surprises. There are 26 musical numbers

throughout, each telling a story of its own, based on real-life, relatable experiences.

Leon Willey admits he’s never done the show before but was familiar with it.

“I had some lead time too; I’ve known about this for a couple of months.”

Though still learning every day he says, “It’s a process. This kind of show, jazz based, has a lot of harmonies. Not your typical 1-3-5 harmony based. It is challenging but great.”

Patricia Zentilli was thrilled to be cast in the show. “I heard about this show when I was very young and have been waiting my whole career to be able

to do it.”

She loves the songs and the stories that each one tells. “They are really actable, emotional,” she elaborates. “Some are really funny and a joy to share with the audience.”

Sharron Matthews addresses the many songs, admitting, “It is very challenging. Twenty-six numbers are in the show. Even the first time we learned it in Kamloops we only had two weeks and most of the numbers are 12-18 pages long with four-part harmony throughout.”

“The writers were very smart in the way they wrote it. There is a lot of attention that has to come to detail and not just the detail of performing and telling the story but while you are telling the story with all the emotion involved singing as absolutely technical as possible with all the harmonies have to fit – sometimes half a step away from one another,” added Matthews.

Culture Days is a three-day-long annual cross-Canadian volunteer movement to raise awareness, accessibility, and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural lives of their communities. With the support of volunteer groups at the national and provincial levels, hundreds of thousands of artists, cultural workers, organizations and groups self-mobilize to host free participatory public activities.

This national celebration of arts and culture, taking place on Sept. 25, 26 and 27, offers a number of opportunities for Brockville’s arts community. For arts and culture to succeed and flourish, we have to create viable markets for the services and talents present. Groups and individuals have to better communicate with each other to learn best practices and areas in which co-operation and sharing of knowledge and resources will be mutually beneficial.

Culture Days offers a chance to meet others in the arts and cultural sphere and see that the possibility of building a whole greater than its parts exists.

The Brockville Arts Co-operative would like to hear from any groups or individuals who would like to take advantage of this opportunity to promote Brockville arts and culture by staging a Culture Days celebration in the city. Everyone in the field is more than welcome to participate. Festivals, organizations, individuals are all included. People and organizations offering training and classes in the field are included.

This is an opportunity to get your message out to the community and make a viable connection. It is a chance to let people know what is available here in Brockville.

It is also an opportunity to take advantage

Jonah Paquette crowned Mr. GSS of 2015 On Friday, May 15, Gananoque Secondary School held its annual Mr. GSS, a fundraiser for Champions for Kids. ”Champions for Kids is a foundation that our school board has founded that helps continue the success of students that might otherwise struggle if we didn’t support them financially,” explained Brenda Asselin, head of student services. “Whether it is paying for gas to go visit a family member in the hospital, maybe it’s running shoes, maybe it’s paying for soccer for them so that they feel like they are a part of the community. So we feel strongly at Gananoque Secondary School to help support that. We do two fundraisers a year, this is our grand finale. We generally do another fundraiser in the fall to help raise funds and so that is one of our mandates as a task council to support champion for kids cause it gives back to our community.”

A group of Grade 12 boys voluntarily takes to the stage and must endure a series of categories, all vying for the elite title of Mr. GSS. To begin the competition, the group of eight strutted onto the stage and entertained their classmates with some pretty impressive dance moves.

This was followed by the annual bribing of the judges. Some of the

contestants took this opportunity to get creative. Two presented the judges with printed selfies, sealed with a kiss, while another offered flowers and others resorted to little trinkets.

Each contestant was also asked to showcase a personal talent he has, parade around the stage in swimwear, formal wear and lastly answer one “on the spot-type question.”

Talents ranged from the ridiculous, to the impressive, to even “whoa” which was the sound resonating from the crowd when contestant Jonah Paquette reassembled a jumbled Rubik’s cube in two minutes 30 seconds.

The four judges, which included Mr. GSS 2014, made sure each contestant walked away with a title. Will Decic was awarded best personality. Mitchell Thomas was awarded best smile; Dylan Jackson, best entertainer; Kyle Griffin, best swimwear; Josh Grier, best dancer; Alec McConnell, best catwalk; and the winner of Mr. GSS 2015 went to Jonah Paquette.

“I think the popularity comes from the fact that it is pure entertainment,” said Asselin. “The kids in the crowd are being entertained by the enthusiasm of our Grade 12 boys. I think that it’s a way that the Grade 12 boys can give back to the school and have some

fun but also giving back to a charity that is very worthwhile.”

Asselin believes that the younger boys, in grades nine through 11 shed any fears that they might have about registering for the competition by watching the current Grade 12 boys getting up, strutting their stuff and just plain having fun with it. “Therefore, we have had no worry of not having enough kids. We always have multiple kids come forward for the event.”

For Friday’s event the dollars raised was estimated around $660 in the 45 minutes or so that the show was running. That number could increase somewhat when final calculations are made. Over the four years that GSS has been holding this particular fundraiser, Asselin believes they have raised over $5,000 for Champions for Kids.

Asselin says she is looking forward to next year. “I talked to some of the boys in the crowd and they are looking forward to persevering.”

Giving credit where credit is due was foremost on her mind following the event. “The most thanks goes to my task council who helped organize this, ‘cause they put a lot of time and effort in to organize this and to the boys in the show. If it Photo by JAN MURRAY wasn’t for them, there wouldn’t be Mr. GSS winner Jonah Paquette unscrambles a Rubik’s Cube in two a Mr. GSS.” minutes 30 seconds.

Realtors give back to their communities

Following inclement weather in early 2015, Ontario housing activity will increase throughout most of 2015 before slowing next year, foresees the Second Quarter 2015 CMHC Housing Market Outlook released on Monday, May 25.

Ontario annual home starts will range between 56,800 to 64,200 units in 2015 and 54,500 to 63,600 units in 2016. “An improving economy will be more supportive of the Ontario housing market in 2015 than it has been in the recent past,” said Ted Tsiakopoulos, CMHC’s Ontario regional economist. “However, as mortgage carrying costs continue to grow, particularly for single-family homes, demand will increasingly shift to more affordable housing.”

Demand is expected to be stronger in resale markets neighbouring the GTA. Strengthening preferences for higher density dwellings as well as for home rental versus ownership are also expected.

Sales of existing homes, typically less expensive than new homes, will gradually lead the market higher. MLS sales are forecast to range between 192,800 to 218,000 units in 2015 before slowing between 182,900 to 213,400 units in 2016.

Ontario home prices will grow at a slower rate over the forecast horizon.

As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry. For more information, call 1-800-6682642.

- Share your skills – If you have a green thumb, your neighbour might appreciate your help this spring with sprucing up their garden.

- Or, if you can write, your local charity might benefit from having you

write news releases or content for the website.

- Donate to charity – Monetary donations go a long way at charities. If you cannot give financially, you might like to donate clothing, food, toys or toiletries instead.

Vanier EarlyAct club members want to make a difference

By DOREEN BARNES

Vanier Public School’s EarlyAct club is providing the means to celebrate birthdays.

Partnering with the Canadian Aid for Chernobyl (CAC) and the Rotary Clubs of Brockville, EarlyAct is building bridges through birthday boxes.

Familiar with Shoeboxes for Seniors through participation, a visit from Dave Shaw, CAC humanitarian and orphan initiatives/media spoke with the students about the Belarusian orphans not always having birthday celebrations.

EarlyAct decided to make a difference.

They hope to raise $1,700 to purchase supplies for 80 shoe boxes to be distributed during a birthday party, next April 2016, when CAC makes the annual delivery to Belarus.

“Mr. Shaw is getting the names, the birthdates, age and gender of each child so we can purchase things for that person,” said Hillary McNish.

The students indicated that they are putting balls, candies, small toys, school supplies, crayons, toothbrush, toothpaste and shoelaces, all age appropriate gifts in the boxes.

“We are taking the plastic wrap off some of the objects because they do not recycle,” added Corbin Evans. “They rePhoto by DOREEN BARNES cycle, but they do not have the same recycling (as us).”

painting, the canteen at two school dances and the group asked the Rotary Clubs.

“We have different sponsorship,” indicated Evans, “Platinum is $500, Gold is $200 and Silver is $100 and Bronze is $20. Twenty dollars will buy one shoebox.”

“We got $500 from Rotary,” said McNish. “From Kemptville, we got $300.”

She was referring to the school board-wide Innovative, Creative Entrepreneurship, known as the ICE Competition at the North Grenville Municipal Centre at the beginning of May. In addition to the individualized birthday boxes, if EarlyAct is fortunate enough to surpass their goal, the group will consult with the Chausy Orphanage to determine what the need is.

Once the birthday boxes are delivered, the cake mixes baked for the birthday cake, frosted and candles put on top, the hope is to use Skype to join the orphanage’s party.

The students at Vanier Public School want to sing

Happy Birthday to the children.

A musical taping of Happy Birthday will accompany Shaw to Belarus, just in case the Skype plan does not work.

While Shaw and his team hand out the birthday boxes, he will show the Canadian culture with games and party favours that the students have chosen.

As the school year comes to a close, the funds raised will be held until school resumes in September when shopping lists will be made to correspond with the individualized information Shaw provides.

All the students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 will be decorating the shoe boxes and making birthday cards to accompany the gifts.

If people wish to donate to this cause, any amount $20 and over will receive an income tax receipt from Canadian Aid for Chernobyl.

To contact the EarlyAct Group at Vanier Public School, email teacher Michelle Peters at michelle. peters@ucdsb.on.ca.

South Dundas stops advertising vacant position for time being

By BILL LAURIN

South Dundas council members voted 3-2 in favour of shelving any advertising to fill the position of economic development officer for a second time in as many meetings.

The EDO position was vacated several weeks ago by Nicole Sullivan, who resigned. The vacant EDO position and that of an “assistant” position will be discussed at the next regular meeting of council slated for June 2. Councillor Marc St. Pierre suggested he would like to see a motion to defer the advertising for the EDO and that of a full-time assistant’s position until he had the time to study and assess the job description and determine if the positions were actually required.

“I was under the impression we would receive the report requested at the last council meeting and have some time to create questions and comments for discussion,” St. Pierre said. “I’d like to see this deferred to the next meeting.” A report compiled by CAO Stephen McDonald was presented to members of council late on Thursday, according to St. Pierre.

“I don’t know what the problem is,” Deputy Mayor Jim Locke offered. “It’s a standard position.” Locke said following the meeting that he regretted not tabling the question, “Do we want the position or not?”

Locke said he definitely supports the hiring of the “assistant’s position” vacated recently by Megan Boudens. She was em-

ployed in offices shared by Don Lewis, Chris Bazinet, Brent Mattice and Dan Tessier.

When offered his opportunity for input, Councillor Bill Ewing answered in a single-word statement: “Defer!”

Ewing had challenged any open hire at the past meeting of council when he answered CAO McDonald’s announcement concerning advertising for the EDO position and an additional assistant’s position be published. At the time, Ewing said “I’m questioning whether we really need these positions.”

“It will be council’s prerogative to direct the winning candidate after they are hired,” said Councillor Archie Mellon, repeating his support to go ahead with the hire. Mellon, along with the deputy mayor, had supported replacing the position at the previous meeting of council.

“We don’t want to get into a small novel,” Mellon added.

“If I feel the municipality doesn’t need this position, I want the opportunity to speak openly to my comments,” shot back Councillor St. Pierre.

Mayor Evonne Delegarde said “I’ve been looking into EDO positions in area municipalities and at processes for hires in general, and I too want the time to fully investigate and discuss any new hires.” The mayor’s stand with the two council members decided the motion to discuss the hire at the June 2 meeting of council.

To check if your vehicle is involved, you can call your automakers consumer line with your vehicle serial number or for less on-hold time, contact your nearest authorized dealership.

The latest reports indicate that almost 34 million vehicles may be involved and Takata has ramped up their production to almost one million units per month. At this rate it will take months to produce enough parts to complete the recalls. As there is no inspection process to indicate whether or not an air-bag is at risk, it’s pretty difficult for owners to know what to do. No automaker will voluntarily offer to provide replacement transportation if a client decides they don’t want to drive their vehicle until repairs are completed. The supply of parts and timing of the recall notices are completely up to the automaker, so retailers have no influence or input towards the process.

“Good Morning, Brian... My question for the Car Counsellor concerns charging electronic devices while driving. Drivers may now be using a number of devices such as GPS, car camcorder, portable satellite radio, and cell phone, which may all need power to recharge/ operate while on the road. I have a single 12V power outlet/charger in the dash directly under the radio while a second outlet is found in the console, which means there will be a longer cord draped across cup holders and shifter if I need to use that outlet to charge a device on the dash/window. What is the best way to get multi-device use from the single outlet located in the most convenient place? If, for example, devices charge via a USB connection, then something like this device makes sense.

However, would it be better to use a duplex plug (not USB) in the best outlet and then use each device’s converter/ cord with its somewhat large “transformer” (or whatever it is called) assuming there is space for two such transformers in the dash under the radio?

Many thanks for considering my question...”

Cheers, Stephen For low power draw devices such as you’ve mentioned, a vehicle powerpoint adapter with multiple USB outlets should do the trick. Even with more than one unit (GPS, smart-phone, radio) plugged in the draw shouldn’t overcome the vehicle’s fuse that protects the power outlet circuit. However larger draw accessories such as 12V coolers or airpumps should only be used one at a time and preferably plugged directly into the power outlet without a USB adapter.

Most of today’s vehicles only use a 10 or

Roxanne Wadge of Cardinal shows Grand Champion Male, Eddie Von Wadges, her two-and-a-half-year-old Rottweiler, at the United Rottweiler Klub of Ontario’s Dog Show at Iroquois Lock on Sunday, May 17.

Celebrating all things Rottweiler at Iroquois show

By BILL LAURIN

Residents of Cardinal and Brockville scored top honours at the United Rottweiler Klub of Ontario’s show in Iroquois on the Victoria Day weekend. The show drew medium-sized crowds to its two-day event at the Iroquois Lock Park and logged 54 entries from all over Central and Eastern Ontario in a wide variety of show categories.

The Beaverton-based group stages shows regularly throughout Ontario, promoting the Rottweiler’s story which organizers offer began in the southwestern section of Germany, around the farming area of Wurttemberg known as the district of Rottweil.

“Eddie” Von Wadges, a two-and-ahalf-year-old male Rottweiler owned

by Roxanne Wadge of Cardinal, was the envy of the day taking the Grand Champion Male Trophy.

“I was going to add “Eddie Bauer Edition” to his name,” says the jubilant winner of the coveted Best Male Trophy.

Rottweilers are a medium to large domestic breed christened by livestock and

meat merchants historically. The animals were used at one time to herd cattle and sheep and were recognized as Rotwell Butcher’s Dogs because they were used to haul carts loaded with butchered meat and other products to market.

Brockville’s Lionel Adams leading his two-and-a-half-month-old male, Stannis, scored the Best Puppy In Show Trophy on the two-day competition.

“Stannis is the dog’s “nickname” adopted from the Game of Thrones,” according to Adams. “The actual name is Khorus.”

Male Rottweilers’ average weight is in the area of 60 kilograms and they stand on average at 70 centimetres. They are known to be a very good-natured and devoted companion, yet are recognized as fearless in the face of danger.

Entrants travelled long distances with their dogs attending the Iroquois show from as far away as Oshawa, Lindsay, Ottawa and Belleville. The open admission show drew spectators from the large and steady pool of visitors to the Iroquois Lock outlook on a bright and warm, sunny weekend.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark joined local dentists Dr. Kim Hansen and Dr. Lance McIntosh at Pineview Public School in Athens on Friday to deliver a message about oral health and the importance of a healthy smile.

This was the second year Clark has joined Hansen and McIntosh in visiting a school in the area as part of the Ontario Dental Association’s (ODA) Brusha-mania campaign. The highlight of Friday’s school assembly was the threeminute “brush-off” where students demonstrated their brushing technique.

The goal of the program is to challenge students to brush their teeth regularly and develop good oral health habits at a young age that will last them a lifetime.

“This is a critical message we’re emphasizing to students. There’s a strong connection between oral health and a person’s overall health, so I was pleased to join Drs. Hansen and McIntosh to talk about this important issue with Pineview students,” said Clark. “They were a great audience and I appreciate the cooperation of school staff and teachers in opening their doors to us.”

“Getting children excited about having a healthy smile is a rewarding part of my job and a key part of my role as a dentist in our community,” said Hansen, an ODA board member.

McIntosh, president of the Brockville Dental Association, added, “It’s essential to teach students the importance of brushing, flossing and eating a nutritious diet. It was great to see so many bright smiles today and to do our part to give these young people the knowledge they need to help keep them that way.”

Brush-a-mania is an annual program launched 15 years ago to coincide with

Team members focus on supporting Kelly, Relay for Life Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

You never truly understand battling cancer until someone close to you is diagnosed.

Kelly McGregor, a 47-year-old mother of three and resident of Brockville, was diagnosed with breast cancer

in March.

Erin Devereaux and Cathy Coville, both nurses at the Kemptville District Hospital, have started a Relay For Life team in honour of Kelly – Erin’s cousin and Cathy’s best friend.

“Erin and Kelly are like my family,” said Coville.

Relay For Life is a fundraising campaign, organized by the Canadian Cancer Society, to raise funds for cancer research.

“Part of the money raised stays within the community, to help cover transportation costs for cancer patients to get treatments and support groups,” said

Devereaux. “She is very strong.”

She said the reality of cancer doesn’t set in until it affects someone close to you.

“You don’t realize what they go through until someone close to you goes through it,” said Devereaux. “It creates a different perspective, especially when it’s so unexpected.”

As nurses, they see cancer all the time.

“It doesn’t hit you until it’s someone you love,” said Coville.

They explained support is the biggest thing for people diagnosed with cancer.

“Financial, emotional, mental and physical,” said Devereaux. “You need every kind of support when you go through the treatments.”

Kelly has one grandchild and another on the way.

“She has so much to live for,” said Devereaux. “It’s not her time yet.”

The Relay For Life 2015 in Brockville will be held at the 1000 Islands Mall on June 12 from 8 p.m. that night to 8 a.m. the following morning.

“A team member has to be on the track at all times,” said Coville.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, relay participants walk or run together around a track or path at a local school, park or fairground, passing a baton to their fellow participants and working together toward one common goal – the fight against cancer.

So far, Team Kelly has 12 members, including Kelly’s two daughters. Her son, who lives out west, will be taking part in spirit. During the event, all the team members will be wearing shirts that read “F*** Cancer.”

To donate to ‘Team Kelly,’ visit http:// convio.cancer.ca/site/TR/RelayForLife/ and click on Relay For Life, then donate and type in the name Kelly McGregor or Team Kelly.

“We just want to raise awareness,” said Coville. “Everyone knows someone affected by cancer.”

Coville. “The rest goes towards cancer research.”

They registered a team for Relay For Life right after Kelly was diagnosed.

“We felt so helpless,” said Coville.

“We needed something to focus on.”

So far, “Team Kelly” has raised more than $1,400 for cancer research, with more fundraising efforts still in the works. “We have until June 12 to raise money and we are going to do whatever we can in that time,” said Devereaux.

The team’s original goal was $1,000, which they surpassed within the first two weeks of fundraising. In addition to collecting donations, they sold Hope & Strength bracelets. An upcoming cookie sale at KDH and a local basket raffle will also add to the funds. One of Kelly’s daughters is still busy collecting donations at her high school in Smiths Falls.

“If we raise $1,500, which we will, two of our co-workers, Harold Westendorp and Anita Baker, have offered to shave their heads on June 9 at the hospital,” said Devereaux.

They said Kelly’s diagnosis came out of nowhere.

“She is very active,” said Devereaux.

“She ran every day. She was on a ball hockey team with me. We recently renamed the ball hockey team after her.

She also played volleyball with Cathy.”

She said there is no family history of breast cancer and the diagnosis came as a complete shock.

“For everyone, including Kelly,” said Devereaux.

They said Kelly is the type of person who is liked by everyone.

“She would do anything for anyone,” said Devereaux.

Kelly has been off work, from the health unit in Brockville, since she began chemotherapy.

“Kelly is very positive,” said Coville.

“She knows she is going to beat this disease.”

“We know she can beat it too,” added

It was a great day at the Glassworks.

On Wednesday, May 13, a busload of municipal leaders, members of the Thousand Islands River Heritage Society (TIRHS) and citizens from the 1000 Islands area went to Queen’s Park in Toronto to view the display of Mallorytown Glass in the beautiful, historic, west wing of the Ontario Legislature. The exhibit and trip were sponsored by TIRHS. Mallorytown was the site of Canada’s first glassworks, opened in 1839, by Amasa Mallory.

It only operated until 1840; less than two dozen pieces exist in the world today. The display includes seven of these rare artefacts.

The Honourable Dave Levac, speaker of the house, and Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark met the group on the central staircase. The group then moved to the west wing for a viewing of the exhibit, followed by a tour of the legislature building ending with a reception.

Clark thanked everyone for attending, saying it was the second largest group visit of constituents he has enjoyed during his tenure at Queen’s Park. He further stated that he walked by the glassware exhibit every day, as it makes him feel closer to home. Clark then introduced several other Ontario MPPs, from all parties, who dropped in for a chat.

Roger Haley, mayor of Front of Yonge, spoke briefly, thanking all of the volunteers from the community, saying that it is volunteers who make our communities the wonderful places they are. Erika Demchuk, mayor of Ganano-

que, expressed her thanks for the event, saying “it was a no-brainer” when asked if Gananoque was willing to loan the Mallorytown pitcher for the display.

Brian Phillips gave a short, enthusiastic talk of the past and the future of the Mallorytown Glassworks.

He indicated the area is moving along a road leading to a rejuvenated Mallorytown Glassworks, manufacturing real Canadiana in the village where Canadian glass making started. This will benefit not only the Township of Front of Yonge but the whole Thousand Islands area.

Bob Morrison, chairman of the Mallory Coach House Committee, wrapped up the formal session with a thank you to the volunteers who made the day possible, a thank you to Steve Clark for his ongoing support and a shout out to the four people who started the Mallorytown heritage movement ten years ago.

During the afternoon session of the legislative assembly, the visiting group was introduced to sitting members by Clark.

In his statement to the legislature, he talked about the glass exhibit and the importance of volunteers in bringing history to life for future generations.

The visit was summarized best by the oldest participant there, 94-year-old Beth Robinson of Kingston, daughter of a noted researcher on early Canadian glass. “What a wonderful day.

There will be lots of memories.”

Sam and his fellow TIES students show they care

By JAN MURRAY

Eleven-year-old Sam Hubbard is in Grade 6 at Thousand Islands Elementary School (TIES) in Lansdowne, and last week was one he and his classmates will remember for a very long time.

Just about two-and-a-half years ago, Sam followed in the footsteps of his siblings and began to grow out his hair in an effort to help children in Canada who have lost their hair due to cancer and other medical conditions.

Having lost his grandmother to lung cancer, Hubbard has had to deal with cancer and the effects it has on those left behind. He felt growing his hair and donating it to the Angel Hair Foundation was the perfect way for him to help.

With this being his final year at TIES, his hair being the perfect length, and surrounded by a barrage of support from his family and friends, he knew it was time to chop it off.

“It was my last year so I was thinking I might as well get it over with before high school, before everyone, before

new people would know me as the guy with the long hair,” he grinned.

“It’s time,” said Hubbard. “My friends and I want to see my hair get cut.”

However, being the astute business man that he is, simply donating his hair was not all Hubbard had to offer last week. There was recently a track and field meet at TIES. As it approached, Hubbard and a group of his “artistic friends” formed a committee and set out to make posters to sell lemonade.

“We were thinking, why people wouldn’t like a refreshment after a long run, or an event. So we decided to sell lemonade for $1 per cup and set a goal of $500.”

Turns out, he was right and there were some pretty thirsty athletes at the track and field meet.

On Friday, May 22 and in front of the entire school, Hubbard and his committee presented a cheque, the proceeds raised from the sale of lemonade, in the

amount of $1,332! This is more than double the goal they had set. The funds raised will go to McKenna’s Dream.

Only moments later, he sat very still at the front of the auditorium. TIES teacher Mr. Gilder draped a hair dressing gown over him and his mother Kelly Hubbard approached with scissors!

Each of his committee members waited patiently behind him.

Mrs. Hubbard carefully piled some of his hair atop his head and separated seven ponytails in the back to which each of his committee members took a turn cutting off.

He chose McKenna’s Dream for their financial contribution because she is a member of his community, someone with whom he and his classmates are familiar. He chose the Angel Hair Foundation for the wonderful work they do for children providing wigs and hair-loss solutions for financially disadvantaged children in Canada.

Hubbard said his parents will be happy to see it go. “My dad just wants it cut, and my mom gets irritated when I wouldn’t brush it and it would be in knots. Plus the hair is like a giant red sign screaming ‘cut my hair now,’” Hubbard Photo by JAN MURRAY laughed.

When asked what he is going to do once his hair is all cut Kelly Hubbard presents her son Sam with the first ponytail cut from his off,” Hubbard replied, “I guess…. be cold?” lush red locks.

IN MEMORIAM

ST. JOHN, Bruce – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather who passed away three years ago May 29, 2012.

This month comes back with sad regret, It brings back a day we won’t forget; You fell asleep without saying goodbye, But our memories of you will never die.

We miss you more than anyone knows, As each day passes our emptiness grows; The tears we shed will wipe away, But the ache in our hearts will always stay.

No one knows the grief we bear, When our family meets, And you’re not there.

Loved always Noreen, Gail, Amy, Jenny and families.

ing of the new office space, elected members have voiced concerns that the tourism promotion would be better served from the shopping areas, where the chamber and BIA offices are located – and where visitors would be met by an employee. Presently, there is no staff member at the municipal location.

Council addressed a joint request from the chamber and the BIA seeking $6,000 in funding to expand employee seasonal hours so that the organizations could work at promoting tourism over weekends and evenings.

Currently, the offices of both organizations are closed outside of normal weekly hours.

lor Marc St. Pierre offered following Steve McDonald’s (CAO) report, adding “I don’t feel the municipal office is the best place to be serving tourists.”

South Dundas Mayor Evonne Delegarde also supported the request, but with a twist. Delegarde said she was willing to support the cost of a student position concerning the extra hours, which she calculated to be in the area of $4,000.

Deputy Mayor Jim Locke announced his fellow members may want to consider the numbers of people who retrieve information through digital devices today. Locke, who along with South Dundas Mayor Delegarde also serves on the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry counties “We need a viable solution to pro- council level of local government, revide tourism information,” Council- cently experienced intensive negotiations concerning tourism promotion between the counties and the City of Brockville & District Cornwall. South Dundas ratepayers, through the counties level of property taxation, support the Seaway Valley Tourist Council based in Cornwall but intended to promote tourism to visitors in the entire area.

Mellan said the organizations then returned for a second round requesting additional funding.

“I wasn’t crazy about this request originally,” Mellan said, “and to now yank $6,000 out of people’s pockets. I don’t agree.”

Councillor Bill Ewing suggested The Upper Canada District School Board a three-way split of the request and is offering Summer Semester an accountability of the monies being spent on a monthly basis with the On-Line and Co-op Programs.

As the municipal council in South Dundas grapples with the decision to fill or eliminate the economic development officer’s recently vacated position, a decision to take part in promoting tourism is going back and forth between the local BIA, the chamber of commerce and the municipality.

At its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 19, council members discussed tourism agreements with the two organizations. Following a heated history concerning tourist promotion, including the demolition of the tourist booth located adjacent to the Morrisburg Shopping Mall, recent construction of new municipal offices included an area in the ground floor foyer with tourist related displays and a large selection of brochures.

Spotlight On Elizabethtown-Kitley

Local health unit is fifth in Ontario to participate in Best Practice

By DOREEN BARNES

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit was one of five selected to participate in Best Practice Spotlight Organizations (BPSOs) by the Registered Nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of Ontario (RNAO) to implement and evaluate the RNAOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best practice guidelines in the province.

What does this mean for the health unit?

An opportunity to develop a partnership focusing on the positive impact to patient care through evidence-based practices with mentorship support.

This project runs for three years and after that period, the health unit can apply for designation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The application went in on Dec. 15,â&#x20AC;? said Jane Hess, health unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief nursing officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After three years we will be designated as a Best Practices Spotlight Organization with the RNAO. They will support us financially for three years with the expectation that we will sustain Best Practices Spotlight Organizations beyond that.â&#x20AC;?

Hess admitted that they did not know the scope of this initiative at the time, as they had no concept that it was international.

Although the Best Practices Spotlight program started in Ontario, it is now recognized globally in Spain, Chile, Colombia and Australia, with Germany and China seeking this information.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advantage with this program is that we have people with their PHDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who are out there spending all their time looking for the evidence, so we can take that evidence and put it into practice,â&#x20AC;? said Hess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will save us a lot of time.â&#x20AC;?

In their submission, each year was identified with particular areas or guidelines which the Health Unit will focus on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a mentor from Niagara public health who is a Best Practices Spotlight Organization already and we have a mentor from RNAO, who are there to support us along our journey,â&#x20AC;? said Hess.

The project team is comprised of Nursing Practice co-ordinator, project lead Lucia Taggart, Hess, manager of Living and Development Claire Farella, Staff Development co-ordinator Erin McLean, newly graduated nurse Ainsley Haines and manager of Quality Information and Systems Development, Katie Jackson.

There are 57 guidelines and the health unit is implementing five which relate to the strategic and operational plan. The logic model includes integrating smoking cessation into daily nursing practice, establishing therapeutic relationships, promoting safe sleep for infants and families zero to 12 months, interventions for post-partum depression and enhancing healthy adolescent development.

In addition to the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit celebrating its launch of Best Practice Spotlight Organizations, the staff also welcomed Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark to Take Your MPP to Work Day on Friday, May 15. This project is aimed at bringing a higher standard of nursing practice to the population in this area.

Along with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Brockville General Hospital as well as Renfrew Victoria Hospital were chosen to participate.

In addition, Taggart indicated that the health unit was successful in its

application to host a Best Practices Champion workshop around mental health and addiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So hopefully that will bring people from all the different areas together learning about best practices and how to implement them with specific con-

tent to mental health and addictions,â&#x20AC;? said Taggart.

With this project and workshop, Taggart feels that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about taking care of people who are sick; it is about helping the whole community become healthier.

Young survivor just as determined as ever to support cancer fight

Support Small Business Small business provides jobs, tax revenues and many other contributions to our region.

As Relay For Life in Brockville celebrates its tenth anniversary this June, one of this year’s top fundraising teams is a relative newcomer to the game.

“Fight Like a Girl with Daria” is participating in Relay for its second time this year, and has already raised over $1,700 for the event at the time of writing. The team is made up of the friends and family of Daria Sanger, a 15-year-old cancer survivor.

Daria was diagnosed with cancer in the summer of 2013, when she was only 13 years old. The day after her diagnosis was the day of Relay that year, and her mother Cheryl had already registered to participate with a team of her co-workers.

Daria decided to go along and participate, walking a single lap with her mother.

She came back to Relay the following year, this time starting her own team.

Today she is cancer-free, and is just as determined as ever to raise money to support those living with cancer and fund cancer research.

Daria is something of an expert at working hard to raise funds... now that she is a cancer survivor; she is using that same determination to raise money for Relay, the signature fundraiser for

For all your latest local news...

the Canadian Cancer Society.

“She’s been there, she knows how hard it can be,” says Daria’s mother Cheryl. “She’s just helping other people out.”

One of the ways the team raises money is through an event called “Celebrity Server Night” at Boston Pizza.

The celebrities, in this case, are members of Daria’s team who serve food and drinks to customers. A cut of the total profits goes towards their Relay fund.

Daria and her team also hold jewellery and candle sales among their friends, donating all the profits to Relay.

Relay For Life is a non-competitive event that is entering its tenth year in Brockville. Money raised through Relay For Life funds promising cancer research, community support services and other important work so that fewer Canadians are touched by cancer.

Each Relay event begins with a Survivor Lap, which Daria will take part in this year.

“It’s pretty emotional thing, to see your kid out there,” Daria’s mother Cheryl says. “She’s pretty mature, but having a sick child is really difficult. It is not something you want anyone to go through, let alone your child.”

“Lots of emotions – relief, but you’re proud of them as well,” she adds.

Cheryl says that she tries to use Relay to teach Daria’s younger siblings about cancer’s wide reach, and the importance of supporting those living with the disease.

“As a family we didn’t realize how many people we knew who had been affected by cancer until we started doing relay last year,” she says.

“It’s unfortunate that it’s one of those diseases that’s completely indiscriminate; it affects everyone.”

Community members who would like to donate to “Fight Like a Girl with Daria” or another team can visit relayforlife.ca/brockville.

For the first time, this year’s Relay will be taking place indoors at the 1000 Islands Mall. The Relay will take place on June 12, beginning at 8 p.m. and continuing until 8 o’clock the next morning.

Anyone interested in taking part in Relay For Life should contact the Canadian Cancer Society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville office at 1-613-267-1058, or toll-free at 1-800-367-2913. They can also email lanarklg@ontario.cancer.ca, or visit the event website at relayforlife.ca/brockville.
