Music Festival and Silent Auction for King’s Kitchen on tomorrow

By CONAN de VRIES

News - There can be no simpler act of kindness, no plainer gesture of goodwill than to give somebody something to eat.

That’s what the King’s Kitchen does every week in Prescott.

A group of volunteers puts on a delicious meal for the entire community—rich, poor, young, old, it doesn’t matter; everybody is invited. Nobody is required to pay for the meal, but those with the means are invited to give what they can.

Feeding more than 200 people every week, though, can be an expensive proposition. That’s why King’s Kitchen is holding its first-ever fundraising event, a Music Festival and Silent Auc-

It takes many volunteers to put on the King’s Kitchen community meal every Wednesday in Prescott, among them (back, from left) Lori Toohey, Bill Campbell, (middle, from left) Sue Leizert-Rutter, Sue Hutchcroft, Johanne Langille, Bill Allen and (front) Roger March.

It also takes money, and this Friday, June 6, King’s Kitchen is holding a Music Festival and Silent Auction to help raise funds in support of the weekly dinner.

day, from 4:30-6:30 p.m., during the school year.

The meal is prepared and served by volunteers with King’s Kitchen, but a big contribution is made

by Chef Brandi Donovan and her senior hospitality class at SGDHS. “She is a Godsend,” says Casselman.

Donovan and her students get the meals started and often do much of the preparatory work, leaving the kitchen ready for the volunteers to take over at the end of the school day.

“Whenever they can do something to help, they do,” says Casselman.

The community has certainly been generous in supporting the King’s Kitchen, and the cause is certainly most worthy, as those who began King’s Kitchen and continue to run it are inspired by the example of Christ and committed to doing good works for others.

But in spite of the sincere efforts of all those involved, there is no guarantee King’s Kitchen will remain viable.

“Every year, I never know,” says Casselman.

That’s why organizers are hoping Friday’s fundraiser will draw a crowd and, if all goes well, become an annual event, growing year after year,

and assuring King’s Kitchen of many more meals to come.

“Even if we only get 50 people out this time, If you wish to fish the kids’ event, just next year we may get 100,” says Casselman.

Anybody interested in having a fun night out on show up anytime from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Tickets will be sold at the door, but anyone wanting to buy them in advance, or even to donate a ticket for someone who might not be able to afford the admission, can call Casselman at 613-925-5340, Roger March at 613-213-1686 or Sue Leizert-Rutter at 613-925-0499.

Those who can’t attend the Music Festival and Silent Auction yet still wish to support King’s Kitchen will have another chance later this month.

Leizert-Rutter will be holding a yard sale at 182 Victor Rd. in Prescott on Saturday, June 21. The sale will feature items donated by friends, neighbours and supporters, so there will be lots to look at and choose from, and all proceeds go to support King’s Kitchen.

Donations are still being accepted, so the sale is likely to grow over the next few weeks, and anybody wanting to add to the inventory can contact Leizert-Rutter at the number listed above.

For decades the Liberals & Conservatives have created the myth that NDP governments are fiscally irresponsible. It’s a lie. In 2013, the federal Department of Finance released its annual Fiscal Reference Tables tracking the federal & provincial balances back to 1980. Again the NDP (B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia) comes out on top as the best financial manager (45% years in surplus). The Conservatives are 2nd with 41%, the Liberals 3rd with 25%).

Clark aims for re-election in Leeds-Grenville

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

News – The following is part of a series of profiles of Leeds-Grenville candidates in the upcoming provincial election. Other profiles also appear in this edition. “I love Leeds and Grenville,� says Steve Clark, incumbent Leeds-Grenville MPP. The Progressive Conservative candidate touts the riding as a great place in which to live, to raise a family and to run a business. With all these positives however, there

are a number of challenges the province and the riding are facing, he noted.

Over the last several years, from all four corners of Leeds and Grenville, similar concerns and desires for change have been voiced such as the need for affordable energy, balancing of the budget, lowering of taxes as well as creating new jobs, he says.

Creating a climate in which Ontario is back on track to be a leader in job creation, he notes, “As opposed to being a have-not prov-

ince,� is the intention behind the PC party’s Million Jobs Plan. “I have consistently been a vocal advocate for the issues facing people in Leeds and Grenville,� he noted.

Working hard and getting results are both very important to Clark, noting his constituency office is a very active one. He always aims to hit the ground running to ensure people have access to their MPP. As well, representing their interests at Queen’s Park to the best of his ability is important to

the incumbent.

On another major issue facing this riding, Clark has made his voice clear in fighting the closure of the Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph.The PC party, he says, has led the charge against the campus closures, announced earlier this year. Clark notes Premier Kathleen Wynne “hasn’t stood up� to come to the defence of keeping the campus open and Ontario’s NDP leader Andrea Horwath has been, “Missing in action,� he says.

The goal is to keep the casino where it is and to ensure those 400 plus jobs stay in this riding.

With regards to Tim Hudak, Ontario PC leader, and his proposed Million Jobs Plan, there has been much made of the piece of the plan calling for the decrease in public sector jobs by 100,000 over a four-year period. Clark explains every year between five and nine per cent of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.1 million employees are leaving their jobs through attrition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking at 10 per cent, or 2.5 per cent per year,â&#x20AC;? he said of

job loss which would equate to some jobs left through attrition not being replaced.

However, one thing for certain is the ongoing support of front line workers, workers such as nurses, police officers and others. Clark pointed out he has always stood up for front line workers and will continue to do so.

Skilled trades are another important aspect of the campaign. The Conservative party would â&#x20AC;&#x153;abolish the College of Skilled Trades,â&#x20AC;? he said. A focus needs to be put on creating skilled trades work, as well as to look for opportunities for interprovincial trade.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also listening to the business community which has been telling him they are being burdened by red tape and bureaucracy.

Clark has been MPP for Leeds Grenville since 2010, when he was elected in a byelection, then re-elected in 2011 during the provincial campaign.

News – The following is one of several questions posed by the Citizens’ Democracy Forum, a multi-party group of supporters of all provincial parties and the answers received from candidates in the provincial election for the ridings of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington (LFLA) and Leeds-Grenville (L&G).

• With our ‘first-past-the-post’ voting system producing ‘majority’ governments that receive considerably less than a clear majority of votes cast… and as a result, substantially fewer eligible voters actually choosing to vote... do you and your party agree that, because the views and interests of the majority of electors is not usually represented in our legislatures, this is a serious flaw in our democracy that needs to be addressed forthwith?

LIBERAL LFLA: We want to restore the public’s trust in government. We would like to see more Ontarians engaged in the political process. Through our Open Government initiative we’ve already taken tangible steps to make Government more transparent, accountable, and engaging. We’ve opened-up government data, proposed an expanded mandate for the Ontario Ombudsman,

and sought to improve disclosure of MPP expenses. Our Plan for Ontario builds on these achievements, committing, for example, to move on the recommendations of the Open Government Panel and to reintroduce our Accountability Act. With respect to electoral reform, unlike other parties, we acted. We established a Democratic Renewal Secretariat and, in 2007 after a lengthy public consultation across the province, we gave the people of Ontario a choice with a referendum on electoral reform. The people of Ontario chose to stay with the ‘first-past-the-post’ system we currently have today.

GREEN: Canada is one of the few parliamentary democracies in the world that still uses the first past the post system. This voting system does not result in governments that reflect the values and wishes of voters, nor does it foster the involvement of diverse voices in decision-making. It often leads to majority governments elected by a minority of voters. The Green Party of Ontario recognizes this as a flaw in our democracy.

The Green Party of Ontario supports proportional representation for Ontario.

Electoral reform will eliminate the need

for strategic voting, reduce negative campaigning, and ensure every vote counts.

NDP L&G: Yes, New Democrats believe that people shouldn’t feel their vote doesn’t count if they don’t vote for one of the major parties. New Democrats supported changing the system in the 2007 referendum but because of the rules set up by the Liberal government, weren’t allowed to openly campaign for it. We also believed it suffered from negative media coverage and a lack of information about the proposal and the Citizens’ Assembly that recommended it.

PC L&G: The Ontario PC Party conducted widespread consultations in developing our platform for the June 12 provincial election. While many issues

Before the Tory million jobs plan they had another called the Right To Work plan. In it union workers would get benefits without paying dues. It was designed to destroy unions, create low paying jobs & destroy bargaining rights, benefits & pensions. Is this the hidden agenda behind the present plan? If a Tory majority discovers the million jobs plan won’t work, and it won’t, nothing could stop them from bringing in their 1st choice plan to the detriment of workers, the middle class and Ontario.

However, I do believe there are changes to our voting system that must take place. Specifically, I’m referring to the accuracy of our list of electors maintained by Elections Ontario.

The poor job Elections Ontario does in maintaining this vital information, which is the primary method for candidates – and Elections Ontario itself – to connect and engage with electors is something I raised at Queen’s Park following the 2011 provincial election.

NDP candidate says change is needed and wanted in Leeds-Grenville

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An overwhelming number of people want change in this province.

New Democratic Party candidate for Leeds-Grenville David Lundy says he is hearing this from many of the people coming through his campaign office door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ABC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anything But Conservatives,â&#x20AC;? he charged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (NDP) going to put the needs of Main Street ahead of Bay Street and ensure the needs of Ontarians are met.â&#x20AC;?

Treating taxpayer dollars with respect, as well as ensuring public services are there when needed are two campaign promises Lundy makes note of.

The economy and job growth are issues he takes seriously. He criticized Tim Hudak, Ontario PC leader, and his Million Jobs Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He frightens me,â&#x20AC;? Lundy said of Hudak and the plan, which calls to reduce the number of public sector jobs by 100,000. The province, as well as the riding, need good paying jobs, he said.

Pointing to statistics and the number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good paying,â&#x20AC;? factory jobs which have been lost from Cornwall to Kingston over the past more than a decade, he said these jobs have been replaced with part time, minimum wage, hiring agency and contract work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not the kinds of jobs needed to raise a family,â&#x20AC;? he commented.

He has heard many stories of people working two and three jobs, just to supPhoto by MATTHEW BLAIR port their family. Similarly he has seen New Democrat candidate for Leeds-Grenville David Lundy smiles as he many young people who have poor teeth stands beside some of his key beliefs for the campaign. as they are unable to afford dental care.

The NDP plan calls for a Job Creator Tax Credit, which would, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reward employers for creating jobs in Ontario and would cut small business taxes by 1.5 per cent,â&#x20AC;? according to the Ontario NDP website.

Health care is also a focus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An NDP government will cut ER wait times in half by hiring 250 new nurse-practitioners, opening 50 new 24-hour family health clinics, creating 1,400 more longterm care beds, and implementing a five day home care guarantee,â&#x20AC;? notes the website and is a point Lundy reiterates.

He pointed to the five-day home care guarantee saying Ontarians will get the help they need when they ask for it.

Also ensuring there is a 15 per cent

cut to car insurance fees, as well as taking the HST off of hydro bills are also key points he referred to in the NDP plan.

As for education dollars, Lundy said an announcement will be coming shortly on funding levels for college and universities.

This is the second time Lundy has run, the first was in 2011. Excited after election results three years ago, he noted support for the NDP increased at that time. He hopes for an even bigger response June 12 at the polls.

Lundy has called the riding home all his life. He and his wife Laura have two teenage children and live in Merrickville.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader speaks of opinions on smart meter installation DEAR EDITOR:

On Feb. 14, a Hydro One smart meter installer knocked on my door to inform me that he wanted to replace my analog power measuring meter with a smart meter. This is the third attempt that a Hydro One installer wanted to replace my analog meter, and this was my third refusal to have a smart meter installed on my house.

I have four concerns about smart meters and they are: health, privacy, control of you and fire hazard. Therefore, I see no net benefits to myself to have a smart meter.

Health Every smart meter transmits information about your power usage just like a cell phone. The smart meter uses powerful

burst of electromagnetic radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation to communicate with nearby smart meters and cell towers and send info back to the power company every few minutes or less.

You are living within a microwave environment and your dwelling is acting like a microwave appliance. There is a medical study that shows the cumulative health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation that causes the breakup of the DNA, birth defects, cancer, blood pressure changes, sleep disturbances, headaches, and more than 100 other health problems. You will also get radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation from the next new appliance that you purchase.

Editorial – Whether you’re an avid biker or new to the sport, this week, June 2 to 8 is the perfect opportunity to strap on that helmet and hit the road.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is partnering with the City of Brockville Cycling Advisory Committee to mark Bike to Work Week 2014. While the initiative launched in Leeds and Grenville, working physical activity into your daily commute can benefit all residents of the tri-county area.

Some important tips to remember include planning ahead and making sure to start small. Cycle only one or two days a week to accustom yourself to it before trying longer distances. If you’re planning to bike to work, cycle the route you are going to take before that first day. You may think you can judge how long it will take, but physical fitness, weather and traffic can all be factors in slowing cyclists down.

Dress for biking. Don’t wear your three-piece suit or dress when hitting the pedals. Make sure to drop off work clothing at the office and wear light, wrinkle resistant pieces when riding. Whether your workplace has a shower may determine how challenging you make your commute.

Just as important as planning is the need to stay safe on our roads. Adorn your bicycle with lights and reflectors, follow the rules of the road and wear safe footwear and an approved helmet. Motorists should take note as well: check your mirrors before opening your vehicle door and getting out and be sure to leave lots of room for cyclists.

By sticking to a few simple rules, you can enjoy that morning commute with the birds chirping in your ear, rather than the usual symphony of car horns.

Emerson insists on proper burial for the animals Lifestyle - Emerson was having no part of it! Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggressive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird.

Emerson was high on burying anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral. He drew the line on the long list of farm animals that ended up in our smoke house and on the old pine table at meal time.

Thank goodness, or we would be having a funeral service every few days!

What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote and which had passed on for one reason or another.

He was known to drag a dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service.

Now, the service usually included

us five children standing, (although my sister Audrey, the oldest was getting less and less enamoured with the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emerson said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emerson measured off by counting backwards.

That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the barn yard, and Emerson didn’t take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104 Regional General Manager Peter O’Leary poleary@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 112 General Manager Seaway Gavin Beer gbeer@perfprint.ca Managing Editor Ryland Coyne

as we finished our breakfast. Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emerson said that wouldn’t be necessary, he had the service down pat.

Knowing Ronny, he had other plans.

Well, Mother wasn’t letting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been redded up, and that included Emerson pitching in. We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mother’s routine, dead bird, or no dead bird.

Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old Collie dog Sport, who, like the rest of us, was well aware of our meal-time routine, and was already sitting on the bottom step waiting for whatever morsel was coming his way. As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, “We’ll meet at the silo in five minutes.”

Finally the red and white oilcloth covered table was wiped clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away, and the

floor swept.

We all headed for the back door.

Audrey couldn’t be coaxed out of the kitchen. “Nonsense...just plain nonsense,” she could be heard muttering.

Everything could have been happening in another country as far as Mother was concerned. As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy!

Emerson always wore his cap at these ceremonies. I thought that strange since you wouldn’t dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church service as you could get without actually going to church.

He also took the battered hymn book with him. He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the parlour on the twig table, but Mother drew the line on that! No bible left the house to bury a dead bird.

Emerson led us solemnly out of the house, down the back steps and across the front yard towards the silo behind

Christine Milks of Gananoque is running under the Liberal banner in the riding of Leeds-Grenville. inside looking out, as they say.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leeds-Grenville needs help and I think we can push some of these local issues a little bit harder,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see better things on the horizon for Leeds-Grenville with Kathleen Wynne.â&#x20AC;?

And Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for the province is something that Milks believes in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really admire the woman, I admire her 10-year plan, I think it is something that will get us back to where we should be,â&#x20AC;? said Milks.

But before she can represent Leeds-Grenville, Milks will have to win it, and that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy against incumbent Steve Clark and the Conservatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a very strong team behind me,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sister told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Christine, no riding is unwinnable.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

No matter the result on election day, Milks says she is really enjoying being a candidate for provincial office.

News - This former florist has a grand design for Leeds-Grenville, and this new bouquet will feature red roses front and centre.

Christine Milks of Gananoque is running under the Liberal banner in the riding of Leeds-Grenville. The office administrator has never run for provincial office before but is highly engaged in her community, including sitting on Gananoqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Police Services Board and previously serving as director of the Child and Youth Wellness Centre in Brockville. For 20 years she also helped organize the 1000 Islands Poker Run. Milks, 59, said she sympathizes with how the economic recession has affected Leeds-Grenville.

The flower shop and greenhouse that she began working at as a student, a business which she would eventually own and work at for 34 years, went out of business in 2010.

But Milks said her experience running an agriculture-based business, mixed with her current experience working with a small industrial manufacturer, gives her an appreciation for the diversity of the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can relate to an awful lot of different groups and understand what they are talking about in Leeds-Grenville,â&#x20AC;? said Milks.

The Liberal candidate believes that the two major issues facing Leeds-Grenville are the OLG modernization plan and the closing of the Kemptville Agricultural College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on which part of the riding you are in,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Leeds the biggest worry for people in a lot of ways is the OLG modernization plan.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (OLG) are a good employer,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are good jobs that need to be kept in this area.â&#x20AC;?

It was evident that Milks worries the blame for the plan, which could cost the region jobs, is being unfairly placed on the current Liberal party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the former (McGuinty) government,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not the Wynne government.â&#x20AC;?

But Milks knows that the OLG modernization plan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only thing troubling her would-be constituents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then down in Kemptville it (the biggest issue) is the Kemptville agricultural college,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that has to do with the University of Guelph.â&#x20AC;?

She says she knows how different it is to grow in Eastern Ontario than in Southern Ontario, and that the region having its own college is crucial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are small contractors, small businesses, landscapers all who need that college to stay there,â&#x20AC;? added Milks.

She believes the best way to address these issues isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t by putting another Conservative in Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, but by having a seat at the governing table.

A table that Milks believes the Liberals will be sitting at after the election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a fortune teller but I am quite certain that Tim Hudak will not be our next premier,â&#x20AC;? warned Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be advantageous for Leeds-Grenville to be sitting at the table, on the

As the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944 approaches, international storyteller Deborah Dunleavy will be remembering her father, the late Lawrence Edgar Dunleavy and the many humorous stories he would tell around the campfire at night when she and her sister Linda were growing up. A returning soldier of WWII, Dunleavy never understood why he was spared while others around him perished. Each year of his life, Dunleavy had two special days of the year wherein he would be quiet and reflect on soldiers he had known. Those days were Remembrance and D-Day, June 6, 1944.

News – This year marks the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, as several Canadian regiments landed on the beaches of Normandy. Tagged Juno, the Canadians were part of the allied invasion of one of the five beaches, during the Second World War. A Brockville solider, the late Lawrence Edgar Dunleavy, nicknamed One Jab, (as he gave inoculations), was there.

This year, thousands of people will take part in commemorating this amazing feat and the great efforts put forth for freedom.

As the dates near, Dunleavy’s daughter, Deborah sits near a photo of her father before he went to war and another photo, five years later, after the war. His time piece (a watch), his medals, a historical Intelligence Summary 14th Field Regiment War Diary, a map that shows the whole campaign, a large photo of soldiers in the 14th Field Regiment and a pay book are close by.

“He was 21 when he went overseas with the 14th Field Regiment, Third Division, 44th Battery,” said Deborah. “He was a gunner and also a surveyor for the

positioning of artillery. Dad went in at Bernières-sur-Mer on Juno Beach in the first wave. He went in with The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada and during that assault half of the boys perished.”

Deborah mentioned that her father didn’t discuss the seriousness of his time spent overseas other than to inject a little humour about the inoculations, playing baseball and the motorcycles. He didn’t talk to her or her sister Linda (Stockley) about the slip trenches and friendly fire.

To him, that was private and he wouldn’t reveal the horrible scenes that unfolded around him while serving.

“My father wouldn’t tell me the war stories and I don’t know if he just didn’t remember because of the shock or whether he wanted to move on with life, but he was a great storyteller,” indicated Deborah. “My father had a certain sense of humour about things. He would say that our landing craft hit a mine and the door jammed so we all had to jump in (the water). He would say that he had his surveying equipment in one hand, his rifle in the other with the water coming up to his chin. He said ‘feet don’t fail me now’ and he ran for the wall.

“MOST PEOPLE TALK RECYCLING, WE DO IT” 12 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, June 5, 2014

According to Deborah, her father didn’t remember how he got to the wall or how he got dry from being in the water.

Reading an excerpt from the historical Intelligence Summary War Diary, Deborah said, “The sea became choppy towards night and there were quite a number of cases of seasickness.

There was no sign of any enemy resistance throughout the night. H-hour had been set for 1800 hours, 6 June 44. It was postponed one half hour due to the rough seas.”

Deborah’s father would watch or listen to war documentaries and comment, “it wasn’t like that when I went in.”

She believes that her father was transported on the Landing Ships Infantry HMCS Prince David. Dunleavy was one of seven brothers, Bill (William), Earl, Pat (Patrick), Jim (James), Russell and Bob (Robert) who went overseas.

All total, there were 11 children in the Dunleavy family; eight boys (Garfield did not go to war) and three girls.

Deborah’s parents, Lawrence and Ernestine (Wylie) were married prior to Dunleavy shipping out.

The night before Dunleavy left to go to war, he wrote a letter (to Ernestine) and Deborah summarized it in these words, “I love you sweetie, I love you and we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, but whatever happens I will always love you.”

In fact, Deborah, a storyteller, playwright, poet, author and performer in her own right, put some of her father’s experiences in her play, ‘At the Canoe Club Dance’, performed in Gananoque.

As for Lawrence and Ernestine’s family there were two girls, Deborah and Linda.

Growing up, Deborah remembers her father as an individual who built their cottage from scratch, using lumber from Smart’s Foundry. He became the captain of the Brockville Fire Department and tended a vast garden on the three acres of land granted to those who served.

As for his character, she shared that her father was jumpy and told of a conversation she had with her mother. If her mother and father were lying together and her mother touched him, he would jump. Her mother said there was a part of his personality that was different after the war.

Fifth annual community festival in Mallorytown to be full of family fun

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

Events - An old-fashioned day for the whole family is perhaps how best to describe the Mallorytown Village Fair and Artisan Show.

Coming up Saturday, Aug. 23, the festival was discussed briefly during the Discover Our Star Attractions, May 22 at the Brockville Arts Centre.

The morning event featured an update on festivals and events, attractions and organizations throughout the region.

The fifth annual community festival, noted Molly Sorensen who spoke that morning at the BAC, “We call it a step back in time.” The wares featured at the festival must be made by whoever is selling it, she explained.

Live music will be on all day and the atmosphere will be, “very relaxed,” she said. While there is no admission, a donation is encouraged for the food bank.

Running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mallory Coach House and Gardens and the Mallorytown

Community Centre there will be vintage farm equipment, local artists, artisans and vendors, competitions (baking, flowers and crafts), exhibits and heritage demonstrations, free children’s games and activities, refreshments and a barbecue lunch, free horse and wagon rides, a Bud Eyre Magic Show, David Parkins story telling and more, she listed off.

“This is a rural country experience. I would encourage you to investigate what is happening in Mallorytown,” she commented.

A pancake breakfast will also be featured on the Saturday at Legion Branch 484 from 8 to 11 a.m.

The Mallorytown United Church basement and bake sale will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and an outdoor family movie night at the Front of Yonge Recreation Park starts at 8 p.m. Once again admission is free.

ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, June 5, 2014 15

What are the origins of Father’s Day? Every year, on the third Sunday of June, dads are in the spotlight. This year, Father’s Day will be celebrated on June 15.

If you’re wondering about the origins of the celebration, you might be interested to know that it was created at the request of a near-orphan!

Father’s Day originated in the United States and was inaugurated in 1910.

We owe the idea to Sonora Louise Smart Dodd. Sonora was motherless and grew up

with her father, who raised his six children on a farm all by himself.

IN DAD’S HONOUR

After listening to a sermon in church on Mother’s Day, Sonora had the idea of asking that a special day be established in honour of fathers. It was a way for her to pay homage to hers, whose birthday was June 19.

THE THIRD SUNDAY IN JUNE

The following year, Sonora’s request was granted. The first celebration of Father’s

Day took place on June 19, 1910, in several states, including Washington, where Sonora lived. In 1924, the president of the time, Calvin Coolidge, suggested turning it into a national celebration. However, it was only in 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed a declaration officially declaring the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Today, Father’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world.

Great gift ideas for Dad these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinary-themed items. Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook by his favorite Food Network(TM) personality. Or he may have a restaurant he insists on going to all the time, so guaranteeing a gift card to said restaurant will be a hit. If Dad appreciates not only the taste, but also the culture of food, plan a tour of food shops in the area or go on a wine- and cheese-tasting adventure.

Gear Heads Some dads get revved up about automotive gifts, especially if they spend the weekends pampering their prized cars or trucks. If he tends to have a wrench in hand and head under the hood, treat your father to some new supplies for his automotive pursuits. Quality car waxes and upholstery cleaners are always in demand. Or give him a gift certificate to his favorite hand-wash, auto-detailing center. Gas station gift cards or a new ratchet set are other good auto gift ideas.

Techies Some dads get excited about the latest tablets or smartphones. They may keep abreast of virus-detection software or think the technological gadgets sold in those speciality magazines and mall stores are must-haves. Chances are if you spend enough time with Dad you know just what he likes to dabble in, and you can get him an electronic device he’ll find invaluable.

Although it may seem difficult on the surface to find a gift for Dad that he truly will enjoy and use, all it takes is a close examination of his likes to find something appropriate.

Father’s Day is right around the corner and that means many children, spouses and other family members will be scrambling to locate the perfect gifts for the men in their lives.

Put away those coupons for neckties and remote control caddies. There’s a good chance Dad wants something a little less cliche and more in tune with his interests. If you think carefully about gift ideas, there’s bound to be something that will be a perfect fit.

Sports If Dad follows a particular team or sport, gifts inspired by his love of a favorite team are a surefire bet for success. Team jersies, game memorabilia, tickets to the next at-home game, or an expanded satellite dish or cable TV sports programming package are some gift ideas that will coordinate with a sports theme. Some dads also may be content to simply hit the links or spend a few hours at the batting cages.

Personalized Gifts Personalized gifts can show that special man in your life that you care about him in a special way. Instead of a run-of-the-mill item pulled off a store shelf, a personalized gift can feature a name, date or sentiment right on the gift itself.

Think about giving Dad a personalized plaque that designates his work area in the garage or a pocket lighter or photo frame engraved with a special message or his name. An embroidered bath robe, or a golf bag embroidered with his initials may also be a special treat.

Fit for Foodies As the adage goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Take advantage of

Make Dad feel like the king of the castle with gifts that cater to his unique tastes and interests.

I Am Alive rescue depends on public support

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

Lifestyle – One dog rescue was all it took for a local woman who bred German Shepherds to turn around and start her own foster-based program.

Iwona Sobieraj is the owner and operator of I Am Alive Dog Rescue in Maitland area. She had been a breeder, then after being asked to rescue a dog, she fell in love with the concept and IAA was born. The rescue sees no government funding and exists based on donations and adoption fees. Most rescues come from high kill dog pounds in areas such as Montreal, notes IAA volunteer Sharon Harris, but are not limited to that area.

Always looking for volunteers, Harris explained, it is “Still kind of

a growing organization.”

Those fostering and adopting have come from all over Ontario and Quebec.

“We are dedicated to the rescue, short-term fostering and long-term rehoming of dogs. Unwanted dogs are found new homes through our placement program,” notes the rescue’s website (address listed below).

“Adoptive families, new and old, are provided with any support and guidance they may need. We believe that together, we can make a difference in saving unwanted and abused canines.”

Recent fundraisers like last weekend’s National Children’s Variety Show, help to keep the rescue going. The show was sponsored and planned out by IAA with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to Girls Inc. of

Upper Canada in honour of National Children’s Day. Aside from monetary donations, help can also be given in other ways – by helping to transport animals, with photography, by donating used towels and sheets, through graphic design, with social media, bookkeeping, by fostering and more.

For further information please visit www.iamalivedogrescue.com or email iamalivedogrescue@gmail. com or by visiting the I Am Alive Dog Rescue Facebook page as well.

Information can be found on the site with regards to what dogs are available for adoption, application forms to foster or adopt a dog and more.

Recently, the rescue expanded to include cats, and has a Facebook page – I Am Alive Cat Rescue.

Shannon Campbell’s Grade 10 Civics/Careers class at Brockville Collegiate Institute has been raising funds for Pencils for Kids – a Canadian non-profit charity that helps global education in Africa. In front Hollie Boisvert, Lillian Thomas, Melissa Murphy. Middle Philip Girouard, Kassidy Kirkham-Ubdegrove, Lexie MacDonald, Madison Page, Brianna Gabriel, Luke Brown, Maggie Bauder and in back, teacher Shannon Campbell, Kevin Gan, Tyler Fyckes, John Gordon, Cole Wallace-Shields, Bradley Anderson, Mallory Graham, Damian Reeves.

BCI students raise funds for global education in Africa News - Students in Shannon Campbell’s Grade 10 Civics/Careers class at Brockville Collegiate Institute were given the task recently to research the topic of global citizenship. And the nonprofit charities that support that cause.

The class voted on which charity they wanted to support and the students decided on the idea of global education.

“My students are aware of how lucky they are to attend school in Canada, and not every nation can provide that for their children. They were passionate about helping children and teenagers in another country have the opportunity to get an education,” Campbell commented.

The class hosted a co-ed volleyball tournament fundraiser from Tuesday, May 20 – Friday, May 23 during lunch at BCI. Students were responsible for scorekeeping, and refereeing the tournament. All proceeds are going to Pencils for Kids – a Canadian non-profit charity that helps global education in Africa.

Eight teams participated in the tournament including teams from all grades, and a teacher team. The winning team

was the Grade 12 team named the Tight N’ Bright. The winning team won a pizza party.

“It was a great experience for me to give back. Raising money for students in unfortunate situations made me feel good that someone will have the chance to get a good education,” Lillian Thomas, a student, said.

The tournament brought in $250 from the tournament, and fundraising is continuing.

“In Civics/Careers class we were learning about global citizenship looking at non-profit organizations. We were interested in supporting a cause, and when we heard about Pencils for Kids, we all agreed helping children like us get an education in the developing world was very important to us. It’s a nice feeling to know you could change someone’s life in a positive way,” student Madison Page commented.

“We raised money for Pencils for Kids to help out our global neighbours in Africa and support Canada’s global connection with the world,” Philip Girouard, another student said.

Brooke Henderson starts golf season on a high note

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

Sports – If 2013 was a breakthrough golf season for Brooke Henderson, she’s already well on her way to making 2014 even more memorable.

The 16-year-old Smiths Falls resident, Canada’s top ranked female amateur golfer, was in Brockville last Friday, May 30, fulfilling her role as honourary chair of the Riverside GM $1 million Hole-in-One Challenge, a key fundraiser in support of the St. John Ambulance ‘Caring for our Community’ capital campaign.

She’s fresh off her impressive season of a year ago which saw her play in three LPGA tournaments – making the cut at both the U.S. Open and Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. On top of that she won the Canadian Women’s Amateur, South American Women’s Amateur and Junior Orange Bowl in Florida, to name just a few of her accomplishments.

“I was very happy to be able to play (LPGA tournaments),” she said. “It was a great experience and truly a learning opportunity for me.”

For 2014, she’s already won the South Atlantic Ladies Amateur Championship in Ormond Beach, Fla., and played well at the LPGA’s Nabisco championship in California, the first major of the year on the LPGA Tour. She not only made the cut but turned in one of the best rounds of the tournament on the second day of competition, shooting a four under par 68 en route to a 26th place finish. She recorded the second best score among the field of amateurs.

The Grade 11 student was actually sitting at school, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, when the text came to her saying she was in.

With her sister, Brittany, also an accomplished golfer, as her caddy she felt making the cut made her happy and gave her the confidence she needs to really build upon her game.

She is now in a sport where other big-name players know her name. Saying she is “really comfortable” around the professionals on the LPGA Tour, she jokes she now has someone to have lunch with at tournaments.

At first though, when she was only 14 years old, playing against pro golfers was a real “eye-opening experience.”

Intimidating at first, she now hopes she will be able to play and spend time with the pros she now calls friends for years to come. Among those big names are three that Henderson calls favourites.

The first is Morgan Pressel, an American golfer on the LPGA tour. Henderson had the opportunity to play with her last year at the U.S. Open and Pressel definitely left a positive impression.

Second, Lorie Kane, another wellknown LPGA golfer, Henderson calls, “A Canadian legend in golf and one of the nicest players you will meet.”

And last, but certainly not least, her older sister Brittany. Brittany has made herself quite the household name in golf as well over the years. According to flagstick.com, an article printed March 13, 2014, Brittany “picked up her first win as a professional, taking top honours at the Black Bear Golf Club in Eustis, Florida,” that Thursday.

“She is a huge role model for me,” Henderson said of Brittany.

Other challenges Aside from the game itself, playing in the LPGA tournaments has also presented some other challenges, perhaps not only on the green. Henderson explains all the media attention and fans are two aspects she still needs to get used to. As well, distractions can become an obstacle as the courses are toughest she’s ever

had to face, she said. Controlling adrenaline and reactions to what is happening around her are things she focuses on.

Playing in front of large crowds can also be intimidating. She wants to perform to the best of her abilities, and adds with a smile, “I would rather play in front of 100 people than two people.”

She’s becoming more and more comfortable with each passing tournament, she says, showing a level of maturity far beyond her years.

Training and schooling This winter, in order to stay on top of her game, she trained for two months in Florida while taking high school courses online in order to stay on top of her classes.

Also, as a member of Golf Canada’s Team Canada, she has several coaches, a fitness instructor, psychologist, nutritionist and physiotherapist.

Aside from these benefits, she feels fortunate to have teammates with whom she can travel all summer, which helps her to not only learn about the sport, but life in general.

Back home, “I am very fortunate to have a high school and teachers who are very supportive of all I do,” she noted. “I am very blessed,” she said, adding her teachers completely understand what it is she does.

She has done so well in fact, she recently committed to attend the University of Florida upon graduation from SFDCI. Earlier this spring, the Gators finished 18th overall in the NCAA Championship and feature a promising young team.

“They have a really strong golf team,” she said, which was a big influence on her decision-making process.

At school and at home, Brooke says

she has a great support network. She notes her parents David and Darlene have “given up a lot,” explaining the sacrifices they have made to ensure she and her sister have been able to attend their tournaments. The previous week she explains she had been in British Columbia, Virginia and New Jersey.

And the summer ahead features even more travel. This week she returns to Waterloo, Ont., to take part in her second Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, having received a sponsor’s exemption. She also plans on playing the U.S. Open, the Canadian Open and she hopes to play in the World Amateur Golf championship in Japan. Currently she is ranked third in the world. Her aim, of course, is to hit the top spot.

“The goal is attainable. There is a lot of hard work and dedication required,” she said.

She works every day in order to grow and learn both as a golfer and as a person.

And grow she surely will with her commitment and talent.

“I love the game of golf,” she said with a smile from ear to ear.

For someone who has played since she was three or four years old, when her father David got her and her sister interested in the game, she now hopes to make golf her career, all the while recording some important victories on tour along the way, of course.

Here in Brockville, in support of the Riverside GM $1 million Hole-in-One Challenge, a fundraiser for the St. John Ambulance Caring for our Community capital campaign, she hopes that, “The small influence I have will help the campaign go in the right direction.”

Brooke Henderson, Canada’s top female amateur golfer and honourary chair of the Riverside GM $1 million Hole-in-One Challenge, looks forward to an active season ahead.

Loonies for Lily raising funds for Join in for the Grain Chain June 14 young family facing medical crisis

By CONAN de VRIES

Events - Join the Brockville Museum for their “Grain Chain” tour on June 14 for the first of three summer bus excursions they have organized. “Grain Chain” explores the story of wheat (Red Fife in particular) from “farm to fork” by exploring local heritage wheat production and its many products.

Red Fife, first grown in Ontario in 1842, is one of the genetic ancestors of modern-day “bred” wheat and sets the theme for the tour. The first stop will be a visit to a farm near Athens to learn about sustainable farming and the value of growing unmodified heritage wheat. This will be followed by a local-flavours lunch in a heritage setting, a milling demonstration at Delta’s 200-year-old grist mill, and shopping at a unique farmer’s market situated in an old school house. The day will end with a delectable surprise.

A tasty lunch and comfortable coach transportation will make this tour a luxurious excursion into the countryside, made all the more enjoyable knowing that all proceeds support the Brockville Museum’s programs and initiatives.

Individual ticket price for the “Grain Chain” is $65 for members or $70 for non-members. Please note that this tour includes moderate field walking. Please make full payment at time of booking, tickets are transferable but are not refundable.

For reservations for this or our other tours please call 613-342-4397 or drop by the Brockville Museum at 5 Henry St.

News - It is understandably difficult for the parents of a seriously ill child to spare a thought for anything but their child’s welfare, certainly not for something as comparatively unimportant as money, but that doesn’t stop the bills from piling up.

A young family in Spencerville is presently enduring this agonizing tug of war between the only thing that seems to matter and every other obligation that, no matter how inopportune, must be attended to between trips to the hospital and doctor’s visits.

Since late April, Kris Maloney and Sara McLean have been dealing with dire concerns for the health of their two-and-a-halfyear-old year old daughter, Lily.

During the Easter holiday, the youngster developed a bad cough, after which her health went into a rapid decline. She was eventually rushed to CHEO and placed in an induced coma before doctors determined she was suffering from kidney failure.

Lily is stable now but still very ill, and will not recover without a kidney transplant, which at present she is too sick to survive. While her little body recuperates, Lily’s parents tend to her every need and shuttle her back and forth between specialist appointments, hospital visits and dialysis sessions, but following this routine, it doesn’t take long for expenditures to outstrip income, with everything from exorbitant hospital parking rates, fuel costs and medications not covered by insurance straining the resources of a young couple already strained to the breaking point.

“It can start to get pricey after a while,” says JoAnne Moulton, cousin of Kris, who is spearheading a fundraising effort called Loonies for Lily. “I can’t imagine what their bills are like.”

Although the public can’t help repair Lily’s damaged kidneys or allay her parents’ fear for her health, generous people are already helping to make sure Sara and Kris can at least feel free to think of nothing else and rest easy that financial concerns will not be dumped onto their already full plate of worries.

A fundraising campaign called Loonies for Lily has been started to help lessen some of the financial burden on Spencerville’s Sara McLean and Kris Maloney, as the young parents wait anxiously for their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter to regain strength enough that she can undergo a life-saving kidney transplant.

Loonies for Lily is already bringing out the best in the community, one well-known for its generosity, and as more and more people are told the story of the Maloney-McLean family’s plight, the more they are eager to give what they can to make sure the story has a happy ending. In just over two weeks, the campaign has already raised more than $4,000.

“We’ve got a great community here in Spencerville,” says Moulton.

It is not known exactly why Lily took so ill, though a virus of some kind is the chief suspect among the possible culprits, but whatever disease struck the little girl damaged many of her organs, including her heart, which now functions at only 40 per cent capacity.

Under no circumstances would Lily be subjected to a gruelling transplant operation when in so low a condition, but it is heartening

to know that when her heart and other organs do eventually recover, as they are expected to within the year, living donors have already been found. People can get by quite nicely with only one kidney, and both Lily’s father and grandmother are perfect matches.

In the meantime, Lily will have to rest and recover and continue to attend dialysis to flush away the toxins that collect in her kidneys but fail to exit the body, which they would were the organ functioning properly. This happens several times a week, and prior to each treatment, the child can be terribly ill.

“You can see her swelling up and her skin change colour,” says Moulton.

It will take a great deal of care, attention and time for Lily to fully recover and resume living life like the cheerful, active child she was prior to the end of April, and in that time, her parents will need

help, too.

Loonies for Lily started out as an effort to fill an enormous glass jar, located at JoeComputer in Spencerville, with loonies, but the effort has since expanded, and in the last few weeks there has already been a roast beef dinner and a yard sale to help raise money for the family, and a poker run is slated for this weekend.

Still more events are in the works, and donations are also being accepted by way of electronic funds transfer at looniesforlily@ jcis.ca. The big jar remains to accept donations at JoeComputer, and anybody wishing to give to the cause can also do so at Home Hardware, Myles Discount, Legion Branch 604 and Willow Wheat Spa. More information about Lily, her family and how to help them through this difficult time can be found on the very active looniesforlily Facebook page.

CMHC releases 2014 first quarter results For transactional homeowner approved loans, the average credit score in the first quarter of 2014 was 743 while the average gross debt service (GDS) ratio was 26.2 per cent during this same period. The high average credit score and average GDS ratio demonstrates a strong ability among homebuyers with CMHC-insured mortgages to manage their debts.

The strength of CMHC’s mortgage insurance portfolio is further demonstrated by the overall arrears rate of 0.35 per cent at March 31. Arrears rates have remained stable over the past several years.

Business – Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) released recently its results for the first quarter of 2014. Net income for the quarter was $406 million, up seven per cent year-over-year. Insurance-in-force at quarter-end was $555 billion, a reduction of $2 billion from the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in net income is mainly attributable to higher earnings from investments and lower insurance claims expenses, both a result of improved economic conditions.

Total insured volumes for the three months ending March 31 increased by 14 per cent compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in 2014 is the result of higher volumes of portfolio insurance and can be attributed to lenders changing the timing of their take-up of the portfolio insurance product in 2014. Insured volumes for transactional homeowner insurance were approximately two per cent lower in the first quarter of 2014 relative to the same period in 2013.

News - When Colleen O’Connell and David Cybulski opened Maitland Garden of Hope in 2011, they had planned on a modest number of visitors and a few donations to support Kenyan kids.

Since then, not only have their gardens grown, but also the number of visitors and donations.

In 2013, the gardens received 1,000 visitors, who made $4,300 in donations.

All donations have been given to Our Kenyan Kids, a local charity, which has a number of Kenya-based projects.

“Among these projects, we selected the Gathaithi Orphans and Vulnerable Children’s Centre,” says O‘Connell.

“We were delighted that they decided to build a greenhouse with the money received. This provides them with fresh vegetables for the orphaned children, as well as a way to make some money selling vegetables at a roadside stand.

The goal is long-term self-sufficiency as well as environmental sustainability.”

The Upper Canada Playhouse in Morrisburg will kick off its summer season with a side-splitting comedy called A Bedfull of Foreigners, which will star (front, from left) Alison Lawrence, Jamie Williams, Debra Hale, Kate Gordon, (back, from left) Timm Hughes, Marshall Button and Shaun Clarke. the region and one that can boast production values second to no other facility in the area, makes the play all the more a treat for the audience.

In order to pull off a show such as A Bedfull of Foreigners, Bowes, his cast and his crew – the lighting and sound technicians, costumier, set designer, prop makers, production coordinator – need not so much to rehearse, as they might any other play, but drill, as if training for a military operation.

“A farce is like a musical,” says Bowes. “The timing is critical.”

The central conceit of any farce is that a seemingly trivial quirk of circumstance, such as a doublebooked hotel room in the case of A Bedfull of Foreigners, which when compounded by misunderstanding and hasty decisions, can continue to devolve into ever greater, and funnier, confusion without a single

character taking pause to make a sensible inquiry into what is actually going on. In a farce, there is no time to pause.

“It’s really important to move it along so you can have a continuous sequence of misunderstandings,” says Bowes.

This is a demanding task for cast and crew both, for the seemingly slap-dash bustle on stage and the actors’ frenetic comings and goings are in fact anything but the haphazard commotion they may seem.

“What makes a farce work is pace,” says Bowes. “Everything has to go at a particular pace.”

Doors are also important in a farce. Good, strong doors. The farce, most particularly a popular subtype called the bedroom farce, to which A Bedfull of Foreigners bears some resemblance, turns on a great many ill-timed entrances and

exits from various rooms, accompanied frequently by the slamming of doors.

“The doors certainly take a beating,” says Bowes.

Characteristic, too, of the farce is slapstick, physical comedy and at least some ribaldry, both of which can be found in A Bedfull of Foreigners, the former in spades and the latter mildly enough that the play may still be considered family-friendly.

All the actors are experienced in this type of production, and several have performed more than once at the Upper Canada Playhouse, so they know the terrain. Williams plays Stanley, the lead and most put-upon of all the characters, and the other six roles are occupied by equally accomplished performers, including Marshall Button, Shaun Clarke, Kate Gordon, Debra Hale, Timm Hughes and Alison Lawrence.

A Bedfull of Foreigners was first performed in the early 70s, in England, from where its writer hails, and over the years it has proven itself a bankable hit, drawing big crowds and enthusiastic reviews wherever it’s been staged, and with tickets selling briskly, the play’s run in Morrisburg will no doubt be equally well-received by local audiences.

The play opens on Saturday, June 7 – with previews on June 5 and 6 – and runs to June 28. Performances on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays begin at 8 p.m. On Thursdays and Saturdays there is also a matinee performance starting at 2 p.m. On Wednesdays and Sundays there are only matinee performances, again starting at 2 p.m.

Tickets can be booked online at uppercanadaplayhouse.com or in person at the Playhouse, located at 12320 County Road 2 in Morrisburg. The Playhouse can also be reached by phone at 613-543-3713 or 1-877-550-3650.

Angelina Jolie shines as the bewitching Maleficent MOVIE: Maleficent STARRING: Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley, Juno Temple, Lesley Manville and Imelda Staunton DIRECTOR: Robert Stromberg RATING: PG Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every generation has its fairy tales or, to be more precise, their version of fairy tales. These stories have evolved and changed with every telling over hundreds of years. Maleficent is the latest re-telling of a classic fairy tale, and what a re-telling it is.

In this tale of Sleeping Beauty there are two kingdoms at odds with one another. In one kingdom lives the mortals, and in the other lives the magical fare folk. Among them lives the fairy Maleficent (Angelina Jolie). As the biggest and strongest of the fairies she is their selfappointed protector.

As a child Maleficent met a human.

The two became friends and over time became something more. Maleficent loved Stefan (Sharlto Copley), but Stefan was ruled by ambition. He betrayed Maleficent by stealing her wings to secure his throne. It broke Maleficentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, and she vowed vengeance.

When King Stefan and his Queen have a daughter Maleficent takes it as her opportunity for revenge. She curses the little princess then leaves Stefan to

wallow in his despair. Stefan, in a blind panic, does all he can to avoid the curse including secretly sending his baby girl to live with three pixies.

All the while Maleficent, and her raven Diaval (Sam Riley), watch the princess waiting for the curse to take hold.

Maleficent protects the young babe, and watches over the little girl, until one day Maleficent steps from the shadows to meet Aurora (Elle Fanning). The meeting is not what Maleficent expected, and she wonders if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made a mistake.

Unfortunately only true l o v e â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kiss can break t h e curse, MARK HASKINS and Maleficent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe such a thing exists.

Maleficent is a rich and gorgeous movie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of fantasy you can completely immerse yourself in and become lost. The detail, the colour, the lighting everything evokes a sense of wonder and awe. It is a true work of beauty.

The plot is intriguing. There are no villains or heroes in the traditional fairy tale sense. There are simply people who

BROCKVILLE

make mistakes, and either try to make amends, or allow themselves to be ruled by them. It gives the classic tale a very modern twist.

Sharlto Copley expertly crafts the character of Stefan as a flawed and mortal king. Sam Riley is brilliant as Maleficentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shape-changing raven.

Elle Fanning easily falls into the role of the innocent and naive princess. But of course the real story here is Angelina Jolie.

Maleficent is wonder and power. She is an unearthly force of nature and Angelina Jolie revels in every inch of this character. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sight and a performance to behold.

Fairy tales have a way of capturing our imagination which is probably why we keep telling them over and over again. Maleficent continues that tradition.

But over the course of 25 years, they share humorous adventures and find their relationship blossoming from one of necessity to one of true friendship.

News – The Thousand Islands Playhouse is proud to offer their first American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted performance of “Driving Miss Daisy” on Saturday, June 7, 2:30 p.m.

In collaboration with Limestone Hands – an organization for Deaf communities in Kingston, the Playhouse has arranged for two professional interpreters to be positioned to one side of the stage where the deaf patrons will be seated. Interpreters Kym Murray and Phillip Wilson have spent many hours preparing for this performance, and have attended rehearsals as well.

For over 10 years, the Playhouse has been offering a Hearing Assistance System to those with impaired hearing. The audience member simply wears a headset during the performance that amplifies the sound.

“By adding a performance with sign language interpreters, we’re pushing ourselves to go one step farther and opening our doors so that more people can enjoy the thrill of live performance,” says artistic director Ashlie Corcoran.

Outreach officer Andrew Geekie adds “The idea to have our first ASL interpreted performance started last September when I met Jessica Sergeant from Limestone

The Proposed Project

Project Schedule

TransCanada is proposing to construct new natural gas pipeline facilities primarily along our existing pipeline corridor between the City of Markham and the community of Iroquois located in the Township of South Dundas. Route deviations away from the existing pipeline corridor are being considered in some locations due to:

• Landowner, Community and Aboriginal Engagement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .December 2013, ongoing

• environmental features • adjacent land uses

News – The history of the river is coming alive at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School (GISS) as an icon of river life is taking shape in the school’s woodworking shop.

The school and the Thousand Islands Antique Boat Museum Trust have partnered to build a genuine St. Lawrence skiff, with craftsman Michael Corrigan and assistant Rebecca Keyes guiding the project. Corrigan is a master boat builder who has worked for the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York – a supporter of the initiative. Keyes is a former GISS student and graduate of the general carpentry program at St. Lawrence College.

The skiff will be the first craft constructed as part of the launch of a unique boat building program at GISS which will also see select students from the area building boats in an active workshop that will be part of the new museum, which will open this summer at the town’s waterfront village properties.

The concept was brought to the school by Susanne Richter, director of strategic planning for the trust, as one way to help the town deal with the economic downturn that has hit Gananoque.

“We were looking at how we could instill a sense of pride in students about where they come from,” she said. “We can do that by teaching them that the Thousand Islands region is unique and by offering them a boat-building program where kids learn how to build boats in the same way as their grandfathers did.”

The school was interested in the project because it epitomizes the concept of hands-on learning and touches on many different aspects of the curriculum.

“It teaches students construction and mathematical skills, and also helps teach them about the history of our area in the most practical way possible – by building a boat that is an icon of

the St. Lawrence area,” said Richard Tamblyn, GISS vice principal.

To keep the project historically accurate, the museum obtained permission to use antique boat molds on loan to the school by area marina owner Jerry Huck.

“It allows us to build a skiff to the exact specs of the ones they used to build here over the last 100-150 years so we can really tie it back to the community,” said Richter. “We’re also hoping students will have the ability to apply these skills earning a pay cheque and see that there is maybe an opportunity to work here and stay here.”

Under Corrigan’s leadership, the students are learning how artisans create the skeleton of the boat out of white oak, and how to bend the red cedar boards using steaming techniques to fashion them around that skeleton.

The students are sanding down the boards so they are smooth before a varnish finish is applied.

The museum has also brought in an authentic finished skiff, so that the students can visualize what they are trying to create.

The boat is 90 per cent completed and the school hopes to have it ready for an opening celebration for the museum on June 29.

The hope from those at GISS and in the museum is that once the skiff is done and students at GISS have obtained concrete boat building skills that the museum will be able to hire two to three students to work in a museum boat shop.

The plan is for them to build less complicated “optis”- small sailboats that are used to introduce children to the sport of sailing. The goal is to build boats over this summer and the next school year so the trust can start a small sailing school in the summer of 2015 on the waterfront.

Trident Yacht Club features 50th anniversary Sail Past event Events - Trident Yacht Club will be celebrating June 7 with its 50th anniversary Sail Past. The event will take place at the Yacht Club that day at 1 p.m.

It is believed that the sail past tradition began at the first yacht club which was formed at Cowes in England nearly 200 years ago. The membership at Cowes was primarily aristocratic and many were familiar with naval practice and tradition.

Cowes Yacht Club subsequently changed its name to Royal Yacht Squadron and certain social graces were added to the traditional naval practices.

The actual “review of the fleet” was introduced as a continuation of the naval habit of having admirals (and/or royalty) review the fleet on special occasions. Protocol demanded that a flagship be anchored with the admiral and staff on the quarterdeck to receive and return the salute. Vessels sailed past, dipping their colours in salute, and with their captain, if hatted (which he should be), also saluting with the ships company standing at attention. The fleet passing in review would be led by the

vice-admiral and the final vessel in the line would carry the rear-admiral.

The yacht club tradition is almost identical, except that the salute is received by the commodore instead of the admiral.

Tradition dictates that all club members participate in the sail past, on their own or on another member’s yacht.

Good manners require that a member unable to participate will send his/her regrets to the commodore.

At Trident Yacht Club a sail past format and traditions have been developed. All members should be dressed in club regalia.

Protocol dictates that until the sail past is completed only the flag ship may be dressed (strung with flags). However, participating yachts are encouraged to dress on returning to their slip.

Cancer survivors invited to take part in events at Relay For Life

Submitted photo

The Lansdowne Association for Revitalization (LAFR) held its annual plant sale recently. Close to $2,700 was raised at this local event. Despite the coolish weather, plant lovers enthusiastically purchased hundreds of plants donated by area residents. The proceeds of the sale will be put toward the purchase of benches, bike racks and garbage receptacles in the village of Lansdowne. LAFR will proudly display plants left over from the sale in the public gardens the group has created in the area. Here, from left to right, Claudette Weststrate, Linda Stever, Freda White, LAFR committee members, enjoy a “bench” break.

Events – Susan Niblock attended the Relay For Life (RFL) the first year it was held in the region in 2000 and was so impressed by what she saw that she became involved in the event for the next 10 years either as a member of a team or captaining her own team.

In 2012, despite undergoing chemotherapy treatments in the midst of her own cancer fight, the Smiths Falls area resident still managed to take part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap. Last year, due to her reconstructive surgery, she was unable to participate in the RFL in Smiths Falls but she plans to be at this year’s event on June 13 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track.

“I am very pleased to take part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap,” says the breast cancer survivor.

“Not everyone is able to. I am so thrilled I am a survivor. I am so glad I am able to do this for myself. I think it is honouring to those who helped me. I really want to celebrate being alive and well. I made it.”

The Survivor Reception will start at 5:30 p.m. on June 13 and will continue until the opening ceremonies at 7 p.m.

There will be appetizers and refreshments available during this time, as well as music by Ross Templeton.

The Survivor Victory Lap will be held following the opening ceremonies with the Gordon Pipe Band and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 Colour Party leading the lap.

WMD Photography will be offering free portraits for the survivors who participate in the evening.

“It is our hope that we can give them something beautiful that will lift their spirits a little and thank them for being a part of the Relay,” says Bill Davidson of WMD.

A cancer survivor is defined as a person with cancer of any type who is living with, through, or beyond cancer. By this definition, survivorship begins at diagnosis.

In 2013, 47 survivors attended the RFL in Smiths Falls. Survivors interested in taking part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap at this year’s event are encouraged to register in advance by contacting Melissa Hillier who is coordinating the survivor activities for the Relay. She can be reached by email at melissa_hillier@hotmail.com or by phone at 613-850-1664.

“We are encouraging survivors to come out and take part in the reception and victory lap,” says Hillier. “Please join us as we celebrate, remember and fight back against cancer.”

Anyone interested in learning more about the RFL in Smiths Falls is encouraged to contact the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Community Office of the CCS at 613-267-1058 (toll-free 1-800-367-2913) or email lanarklg@ontario.ca.

Meanwhile, plans continue for the Relay for Life the same night, June 13, at Row’s Corners Fairgrounds in Brockville. Once again the event will kick off with a Survivors Victory Lap, a chance to honour those who have fought the dreaded disease and won. The Luminary Ceremony will take place at dusk, an awe-inspiring sight with the lighting of hundreds of candles placed inside specially-designed bags, each placed along the track in memory of a loved one who lost their battle or in honour of someone who continued to battle today.

The Relay kicks off at 7 p.m. and continues to 7 a.m. the next morning (June 14). For more information, contact Jodie White (613- 340-5118) or email jodiedowdall@hotmail.com

When play ball was called on Thursday, May 15, a different type of softball was played at Westminster Public School in Brockville as Upper Canada District School Board teachers, support staff, board personnel, spouses and friends came together for the annual Western Division Champions for Kids Home Run Derby. This annual event is in its third year of having fun while raising money. Locally each year teams vie for the privilege of winning the Western Division Champions for Kids Home Run Derby Trophy. A barbecue, 50/50 draw and a silent auction also took place. The funds raised through this event goes to the Upper Canada Champion for Kids Foundation. Left, for three years Carla Vanderhelm of the IT Department of Upper Canada District School Board has attended the Home Run Derby for Champions for Kids. This year, when she stepped up to the plate, she became very focused on hitting the ball as far as she could. The derby took place May 15 at Westminster Public School in Brockville and served as a fundraiser for the Upper Canada Champion for Kids Foundation.

Summer Jobs Service in full swing at This Boxer/Bulldog is considered life of the party Employment and Education Centre information sessions and resume and interview workshops over the past two months to get the word out about the Summer Jobs Service. This year, EEC is offering the service to students and employers in the Brockville and South Leeds areas (including Athens). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of employers who are looking to hire students for summer jobs,â&#x20AC;? Horton notes. She adds that the employers who have submitted jobs to the Employment and Education Centre so far have included those in the landscaping, customer service and hospitality fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A summer job can be a great way to not only get funds for college or university, but also to get valuable work experience which can help down the road,â&#x20AC;? Horton offered.

If you have any questions about summer jobs service at EEC, please direct them to Joanne Hanley (Joanne@eecentre.com) or 613-498-2111 ext.

In order for students to be eligible to participate, they need to be in school and returning to school in the fall. The Employment and Education Centre has recently hired Jessica Horton to work in the role of Summer Jobs Service coach for this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job season.

The EEC has been holding school visits and

Evoy team made a few adjustments to the car to get it dialled in for the 25 lap feature. He started from the 11th position and avoided disaster after a couple early race incidents. With 10 laps complete he was up to fourth place, and was in second as the race hit the halfway point. Over the next few laps, he began to chase the race leader, and made the move on the top side of the track on lap 20.

Evoy would go on to record the win, picking up the weekend double and earning his 50th career Sportsman victory.

“This is a pretty special night for us,” says Evoy. “This class is real competitive, and to get 50 of these wins over the course of a few seasons is pretty cool.”

Sports - There is no question that winning a race in the Sportsman division is extremely tough. Dylan Evoy and the Evoy Racing team have worked hard over the off-season so they would continue to be on the top of their game when the 2014 season opened up a few weeks ago. Evoy has been off to one of the best starts of his career going into this past week with events scheduled at Brockville Speedway for a rare Wednesday night program and the regular weekly events at Mohawk International Raceway and Brockville.

It was a rare Wednesday night event at the BOS, as the Sportsman division was added to the program as the Big Block Super DIRTcar Series rolled into town. Evoy began the night with a sixth starting spot in his qualifier and quickly moved forward to finish in second. In the 25 lap main event, Evoy started from 10th and was up to third as the race hit the halfway point. A lap 23 caution bunched the field for one last restart, and Evoy was able to move to second place.

Mohawk International Raceway was finally able to get their season started after four consecutive rainouts to begin the season. Evoy was strong early, picking up the win in his qualifying heat race after starting fifth. In the 25 lap main event, Evoy started from the second position, and fell to third in the opening laps as he searched for the fast line around the MIR track. As the race approached the halfway mark, Evoy continued in third, but before long, he turned it up and was challenging for the lead just a couple laps later. Evoy had just taken the lead before a lap 15 caution regrouped the field. When the race resumed, it was all Evoy over the final 10 laps.

Evoy was back in action on Saturday night at Brockville Speedway. After finishing third in his qualifier, the
