MD walk in Prescott raises research funds

By CONAN de VRIES

News - It was a beautiful morning for the dawn of a new event in Prescott, one its organizer hopes will become an annual tradition.

Last Saturday saw the Fort Town’s first-ever Walk for Muscular Dystrophy, held along the waterfront near the Rotary Pavilion, where about 20 people showed up to help inaugurate the event and raise more than $500 for research into the potentially devastating neuromuscular disease.

The walk was the idea of Prescott resident David Fellows, who, at 25-years-old, is confined to a wheelchair by the ravaging effects on muscle and bone of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a common subtype of the disease from which Fellows has suffered since the age of three.

Duchenne’s is the most severe and aggressive form of MD and is diagnosed almost exclusively in young boys, though on rare occasions females can be affected, too, and it was this disease, which causes profound, often progressive, deterioration of the

His pulmonary function had been undermined by progressive muscle weakening. On top of that was a series of seizures, the origins of which doctors are still trying to figure out. “He’s had a lot of challenges,� says David’s mother, Debbie Fellows. “It really bothers him, all the things he’s not able to do.�

Challenges for caregivers As onerous as the disease is on those afflicted, muscular dystrophy is only marginally less burdensome on those who love and care for someone suffering its effects. David was diagnosed as a child, as many with MD and practically all with the Duchenne variant are, and since then his parents have been steadfast in their support of him. Sadly, though, his father passed away not long ago, and his mother

has found available healthcare resources sorely lacking. “There isn’t much help,� she says.

Part of the problem can be traced to advancements in the treatment of MD, which at one time was thought to affect only children, who most often died before they were out of their parents’ care. In recent years, greater understanding of the diagnostic markers of the condition have allowed doctors to identify more adults with milder forms of MD, and better symptomatic treatments have allowed those afflicted from childhood to live much longer.

Support systems, though, for those who have outlived the resources provided for young sufferers are few and far between.

It has been suggested to David’s mother that her son be placed in a nursing home, but this is a non-starter for Debbie, who

can’t countenance the thought of institutionalizing her child at the age of 25. “As long as there is breath in my body,� she says, “he will not be going into a nursing home.�

It is in the sincere hope for a future in which those caring for people with MD won’t have to face such agonizing decisions that throughout Ontario this summer there will be 18 more fundraising walks like the one last week in Prescott. “David took this on with great enthusiasm,� said Musgrave, who was pleased to welcome Prescott into the fold of supporters who, nationwide every year, help raise more than $10 million for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

Anybody who wants to learn more about muscular dystrophy or to contribute to research into the disease can check out MD Canada’s website at www. muscle.ca.

Community – Sonny Clark, with M.E. Clark Industrial, and Chris Puddicombe with the Hendrix Restaurant Equipment & Supplies and Custom Décor team practice putting prior to the start of the first ever Sherwood Park Manor Golf Tournament. The event was held June 20 at the Brockville Country Club and featured 18 holes of golf, dinner and entertainment, prizes and of course fun, all in the name of raising funds for new portable lifts for residents at the Manor. Sherwood Park Manor is a non-profit organization that receives no municipal funding, hence the need for a fundraising golf tournament. That day, 112 golfers took to the course.

With a thermal efficiency of up to 97%, this matched combo offers a real ‘green solution’ that can dramatically lower home heating costs.

about vacation destinations from a network of writers.

While the contest was limited to mostly American locations, two binational regions took the top spots; Niagara Falls finished with the second-most votes.

Descriptions Despite seeking the best “U.S.” boat ride, the 10 Best description of the 1000 Islands referenced Canadian attractions. 10 Best described the 1000 Islands as: “New York’s Thousand Islands region seems made with nautical tourism in mind.

Glass-topped catamarans, triple-decker cruise boats and majestic paddlewheelers ply the waters, taking visitors past Boldt Castle and the mansions of Millionaire Row, Kingston Penitentiary and Fort Henry, all while offering interesting insight into the history of this scenic destination.”

In declaring the 1000

Islands the best boat ride, 10 Best last Wednesday incorporated additional information from southeastern Ontario: “The beautiful Thousand Islands (1000 Islands) area between northern New York and southeastern Ontario - was called “Garden of the Great Spirit” by native Americans. The combination of beautiful shoreline, where woods meet the lake, is an inspiring place to take a boat ride.”

“Our visitors, seasonal and part-time residents know the 1000 Islands offers an unparalleled boating experience. It’s invaluable to be regarded by a national publication and for them to expand upon their U.S. search to recognize that our beautiful waterway is a truly binational region,” said Corey Fram, communications manager for the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council.

Again the literature states that they want to minimize their environmental footprint which will conserve the natural resources as well as assist in understanding local issues and concerns to expand on suitable solutions.

“We take the ESA (Environment SocioEconomic Assessment) and produce what is called an EPP (Environmental Protection Plan) and that document basically describes how we proceed,” indicated West.

One other aspect of this project is what it will mean to the communities along the approximate 370 kilometre pipeline.

The positive is the potential for jobs, especially tradespeople like welders, fitters, construction personnel, labourers, security and others.

News – Trans Canada personnel held an Eastern Mainline Project open house at the Brockville Convention Centre recently to inform those locally of this proposed undertaking.

The suggested plan is to construct a new natural gas pipeline approximately 370 kilometres with 36 inch diameter pipe along the existing pipeline corridor starting at Markham and ending just this side of Iroquois.

“We are also proposing to build new compressor facilities at five locations,” indicated Trans Canada external communications specialist Sharan Kaur.

For this area it would mean that one of the compressor stations would be located in the Township of Augusta.

According to the literature handed out, this project is intended to meet the current and future needs of the growth taking place in Ontario and Quebec natural gas markets.

“We are continuing with stakeholder engagement, talking to municipalities, aboriginal communities and we will do that throughout the life of the project,” said Kaur.

If all goes well, the construction will start in 2016, to be completed four months later.

The compensation is a one-time payout for the land use with an understanding that a right-ofway of the pipeline be agreed upon.

A third party does the appraisal of the land.

“Once we are done the project, the land can be used,” stated Kaur. “We have a process which is an open dialogue and make sure they (landowners) are comfortable with it (project). We have several different land agents and a lot of them are for a specific area.”

Most of the high-grade steel piping will be adjacent to the pipeline that currently exists except in Brockville’s case, where it has to be rerouted due to eventual growth.

An issue that Trans Canada may have when laying the pipe north of Brockville, is the reservoir, which can be a challenge.

“It’s not undoable, but if Brockville is going to have any sort of growth, it’s going to be coming this way (north),” said Trans Canada project manager Brian West. “So we are looking at getting around the reservoir completely.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ticks no longer being accepted at health unit sites as of July 1 DEAR EDITOR:

For the past several years we have relied on the analysis of ticks submitted by residents and health care providers to tell us the prevalence of ticks that are positive for the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. This approach has worked well and we now have a good sense of where the positive tick populations currently reside. Continuing to study ticks from areas we know about is not necessary; therefore, we would like to concentrate resources in areas where the ticks may become established.

As of July 1, we will no longer accept ticks at our Health Unit sites.

Our surveillance program will consist of an active surveillance strategy where we will look for and collect ticks from areas where they may be emerging.

The change in how surveillance is done will not affect clinical care.

Testing of ticks was not intended for the purpose of diagnosing disease; rather it was a tool for surveillance. Even if the tick was positive for the bacteria, it did not mean the tick transmitted the bacteria to the individual. The length of time the tick is attached is a key factor in the transmission of Lyme disease.

Reminder: If a tick is attached for longer than 24 hours, and removed within the past 72 hours then it is important to contact a health care provider.

We appreciate the assistance of the public over the past years in this surveillance project. For more information on Lyme disease, visit the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit web site at www.healthunit.org Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit

Editorial – The fight against cancer is as strong as ever if Relay for Life events in Mississippi Mills, Smiths Falls and Brockville are any indication.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark branch of the Canadian Cancer Society wrapped up its Relay for Life activities for another year after the Mississippi Mills event June 6 at Gemmill Park in Almonte and the Brockville (Row’s Corners Fairground) and Smiths Falls (Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute) fundraisers June 13.

Targets fell short, but the Mississippi Mills event raised more than $101,000 (with a goal of $135,000). Brockville brought in just over $102,000 (organizers hoped for $155,000), and Smiths Falls, with a goal of $95,000, raised $55,020.

So goals weren’t met, but that doesn’t mean that should put a damper on these events. People still came together and raised funds for cancer research. And had fun doing it. That counts for something. In Smiths Falls, the Cancer Kicking Cousins team raised $8,427 on their own and Mississippi Mills teams PAR-TEE GIRLS and For the Love of Dido brought in $14,442 and $11,027, respectively. These are success stories that should be shared.

The all-night walk in the fight to end cancer is something every person should experience in their lifetime. The sheer support as team members band together to walk a track into the wee hours of the morning, paired with the emotion of the survivors’ lap and luminary ceremony, are something to behold. Walking past those luminaries that line the track, each with a name of a loved one battling the vicious disease emblazoned on its side, is quite a sight to behold. It puts into perspective why people choose to Relay: it’s for their family members, mailman, teacher, neighbour or friend. It’s so that someday future generations won’t have to hear the words “you’ve got cancer.” We have to keep fighting.

Anticipation runs high for delivery of report cards Lifestyle - This time of year, as the last school term was coming to a close, my stomach churned from the time I put my foot in the door at the Northcote School until that fateful day when Miss Crosby handed out the report cards. I was convinced I had failed every exam, and would be right back sitting in the very same seat when school started again in September.

Miss Crosby’s face gave nothing away. She treated the last day like every other day, and as if handing out those fateful report cards were an everyday occurrence. Little did she know, or if she did, she showed no sign, but every one of us wished we could just sleep away that last day of school, and the handing out of those dreaded report cards.

The last day at the Northcote School was set apart by the very tenseness in the air, and every one of us, the entire school, came that morning as if we were

dressed for a church picnic. We had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and everyone, even Two Mile and Three Mile Herman, who never darkened a church door, looked like we were all headed for a Sunday morning service.

And it wasn’t only getting our report cards that put us all on edge. It was the responsibility of the teacher, which meant of course, every one of her 18 pupils were pressed into service, to make sure the school room had been scrubbed from 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 Editor in Chief Ryland Coyne

top to bottom, the windows cleaned, the blackboards shining, and of course, our desks cleaned out. It would take days, because there were no caretakers or janitors back then, just the hands of the teacher and her pupils.

So by the time the last day rolled around, the school was shining, most of our books had been removed from our desk drawer and taken home, and the black boards were washed and ready for September. That fateful day arrived.

The day when we would know if we had passed. There were the usual morning devotions, which always included long purposeful prayers to guide us through the summer. Heaven forbid that we would go off into summer without the proper spiritual send off. And Miss Crosby would finish reading us the last couple of chapters in the books she had been bringing to school every Friday. It could be some-

thing like Gulliver’s Travels, or Huckleberry Finn, and rather than leave us hanging over the summer wondering about the ending, Miss Crosby would polish off the book on that last day while we sat in morbid anticipation as we waited for the hour when we would be handed out those dreaded report cards.

Just like the foolscap pads that sat on the corner of her desk on the days of the exams, the report cards were the first thing we spotting when we came into the school at nine in the morning. There they were. Just like death sentences. All in a neat pile on the left hand corner of that old oak desk. It was a challenge to sit and listen to the last of the story book, as we anticipated the handing out of the report cards. But of course, even if we didn’t, we had to look like we were absorbing every last word coming out of Miss Crosby’s mouth!

THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS FRIDAY 4:30 PM

There wasn’t an eye in the Northcote School that wasn’t glued to the neat little pile of white fold -over cards. And always, I silently wished I had paid more attention, and tried harder, or given more thought to the exams just past. But it was too late now. The die was cast.

Of course, Miss Crosby made us suffer even more, by demanding that our feet be planted firmly on the floor, under our desks, with our hands folded on top.

She would walk slowly over to the side windows and survey the entire classroom, spending many minutes looking at each one of us in turn. It didn’t matter really.

Nothing mattered. It was too late. The report cards were already sitting on the corner of her desk. There was nothing in the world that could change a word on them!

UCDSB passes $353 million operating budget for 2014-2015 school year News – Trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board have passed a $353 million operating budget for next year to support student needs and meet long-term objectives under its CREW Strategic Plan. Another $45.8 million has been earmarked for capital projects.

The budget was passed during a recent regular board meeting, said Chair Greg Pietersma. “The biggest thing this budget does is ensure quality and consistency in our programming and operations,” said Pietersma. “It provides assurance for parents that schools will be open, math and science classes will run, driveways will be cleared, competition will take place on our sports fields and buses will be running.

“We’re also planning for two more quality schools in the Cornwall and Kemptville areas.”

MARY From page 8

ating budget is for staff instructional salaries – for teachers, principals, para-professionals and others – comprising about $241 million. About $25 million goes to transportation, $34 million for school operations and maintenance, and $8.5 million for administration and governance.

Major capital expenses include: a project to fund construction of, and furnishing and equipping of, two new elementary schools in Cornwall and Kemptville, (scheduled to open in 2016); funding for school renewal; and improvements for the Full-Day Kindergarten program.

Clarification Editorial – Information accompanying a photograph

in the June 19 St. Lawrence News was missing several names.

On Saturday, June 7, Brockville General Hospital nursing graduates came together to mark 60 years, having graduated in 1954. Those who could not be present include Bernice Anderson, Joan Behr, Anne Ceccarelli, Frances Fraser, Joan Freeman, Marion Galna, Jacqueline Hill and Wilma Simpson.

“I’m pleased to present a compliant budget that puts students first,” said Superintendent of Business Nancy Barkley.

“This budget reflects our philosophy that proper support for student learning is at the heart of everything we do,” added Pietersma. “We are funding new school projects, enhancing the instructional skills of our teachers, and funding special education programming – all the kinds of efforts that allow students to learn and thrive.”

Under the budget, Special Education gains $46 million in funding. About $19.4

million has been set aside for special education teachers, along with another $17.7 million for educational assistants and $1.2 million for new technologies to aid student learning.

Other department operating expenses include: human resources, $2.9 million; director’s office, $4.4 million; information technology services, $5.4 million; facilities, $90.3 million ($45.8 million for design and construction, and $44.5 million for facilities operations and maintenance); and program, $3.7 million.

And then, as if she all the time in the world, she would walk with great deliberation over to her desk. I had only recently learned to tell the time, and I would glance up at the old CPR clock, and see the hands about to reach the magic hour.

The report cards had to be handed out just minutes before we were excused from school.

I knew, since I was the youngest in the school, that I would be the first to get a report card. I certainly didn’t think it was any privilege to be first...I would have much preferred to be last!

Miss Crosby walked up and down the aisles placing the cards precisely in the middle of the top of our desks. Just above where our hands were folded. Of course, we were forbidden to lay a finger on the cards until we were told to do so. My eyes were glued to mine like a magnet.

The cards were made of white soft cardboard, and folded over like the covers on a book. Our name was printed on the outside, right under where it said THE NORTHCOTE SCHOOL. Naturally, it was printed in black, just like the death notices that occasionally came in the mail.

When Miss Crosby had handed out the last card, she moved slowly back to her desk, and all she did was give one deep nod, and that was the signal that we could open our report cards.

Miss Crosby, knowing of course, that I had yet to learn how to write, printed on my card. And there it was. I had passed.

I would be out of Primer Book and into Junior First come September. I had the deepest urge to let out a war-hoop, but of course, that would be unheard of in Miss Crosby’s Northcote School.

Selfishly, I could care little what the fate was of the other pupils. But I was filled with love for Miss Crosby who had nursed me through that first year of school...and even though the whole summer loomed ahead, filled with swims in the Bonnechere, picnics, sleeping under the stars in a tent, and all the other joys of the warm days ahead, I couldn’t wait to get back to school in September. All because of that little folded-over white card on Miss Crosby’s desk.

Director David Thomas praised the budget saying it is reflective of good governance by the board, citing the new Accountability Framework as a key factor in that good governance. He also noted changes in the budget reporting process which will see departments keep trustees better informed through the addition of quarterly status reports.

The operating funds the board will use come from the 2014-15 Grants for Student Needs issued by the Ministry of Education.

The Silver Ribbon Campaign raises awareness of mental health issues

By DOREEN BARNES

News – “The Silver Ribbon Campaign started at Matt’s funeral,” said committee member Sylvia Harmsma.

“We handed out the silver metallic ribbon, that’s when we first started it. The silver ribbon is for schizophrenia and we wore it in memory of Matt.”

Harmsma is referring to Matthew Roke (son of John and Jody Roke), who

struggled with mental illness, (paranoid schizophrenia) and met a tragic end in 2011, at the age of 33.

“Hopefully through this campaign, others who are struggling with mental health issues will be encouraged and find the resources needed,” said Jody. “Let’s break the silence and talk about it. Together we can make a difference!”

According to Canadian Mental Health Association one person in five will experience a mental health issue or illness with a cost to the economy of well in excess of $50 billion.

Also, of the 4,000 Canadians who die each year of suicide, most had a mental health problem or illness.

Jody encourages those who purchase a Silver Ribbon, the soft cloth ribbon or either of the sterling lapel type; a card comes along with the ribbon, as well as the Silver Ribbon Campaign Story.

The cost of the small sterling lapel pin is $5, whereas the larger one is $10.

On the back side of the card are helpful resource contacts including Canadian Mental Health Association or Children’s Mental Health and others.

“The Silver Ribbon Campaign is to help people who have a mental illness,” said Jody. “It’s awareness! That’s why there’s a card with all the telephone numbers attached to the ribbon. Give someone the card or keep it. Right away you have a place to call.”

The funds that are raised go towards purchasing more ribbons with the sur-

plus going to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Any donation made to this campaign, should be directed to the Canadian Mental Health Association for those individuals wanting a charitable income tax receipt.

Well received As indicated by Harmsma, the campaign has been well received.

“We have had an awesome response from people,” said Harmsma. “The first week of May is Mental Health Awareness and we put boxes with the cloth ribbons out in all different places, including the high schools. We just got our website up; www.thesilverribboncampaign.ca and have had queries.”

These two individuals hope is that eventually people will recognize the Silver Ribbon as a symbol for Mental Health Awareness.

“I hope that people will understand,” said Jody, “to get rid of the stigma.

To see people with a mental illness as people with a disease, like a disease that anyone else would have. The other thing is to make sure that the information is available.”

If anyone would like to know more about the Silver Ribbon Campaign or to have a speaker about the campaign, contact information is available on the website.

The purple and white boxes found in various locations during the first week of May were for Mental Health Awareness, the Silver Ribbon Campaign, started in Memory of Matt Roke. Matt’s mother Jody, Sylvia Harmsma and committee members worked together to bring awareness to mental health issues and invite people to think about wearing The campaign pins are also available the cloth ribbon or the sterling lapel pins.

TD Summer Reading Club launches at Gananoque Public Library

By Pamela Forsyth Hudson

Lifestyle - Eureka! It’s time for the TD Summer Reading Club to begin and Gananoque Public Library has lots happening to celebrate reading and learning with kids all summer long. The library launches the popular summer reading program on Saturday, June 28 at 12 p.m. at its location at 100 Park St. following the Huck Finn Fishing Derby. The number of kids already signed up is quickly rising and with participant numbers well over 60 last year this year’s goal is even higher. It’s all about helping kids have a ton of fun while keeping up their reading skills for their return to school in the fall.

To kick off the launch of the TD Summer Reading Club in Gananoque author/zoologist Jess Keating will visit the library to celebrate the release of her newly published book, How to Outrun a Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied, a hilarious read about girl named Ana whose best friend has moved to New Zealand just as she’s

about to enter middle school. With parents who work at a zoo, a challenging twin brother and a life that’s way less than usual, this clever book reflects just how closely school can resemble a jungle at times.

The launch provides a great opportunity for kids to meet an author and learn about writing. Keating will be signing books and will also speak to kids about using what inspires them to make great creations. Keating’s junior fiction novel is on the L.A. Times list of summer must read books for kids and it has received a prestigious star by leading book critic Kirkus Reviews. It is the first in a series of three books. She also has a junior non-fiction book that will be released in 2016 called Pink is for Blobfish.

After Keating’s presentation, and a pause to stretch, Ray’s Reptiles Zoo will put on a one hour show featuring many different animals including snakes, lizards, turtles, amphibians, bugs and even a crocodilian. Kids will then have the chance to use Plasticine

to make their own animal artwork to take home and can help create a Gan Flat Stanley character who with travel to other libraries in the county over the summer. On the morning of the club launch there will be great selection of new books out for kids to borrow as they begin their summer reading journey.

The Gananoque Public Library will also host a range of other events to inspire the joy of reading throughout the summer months as part of the TD Summer Reading Club. Book Club meetings for ages 8-14 that require advance registration for book copies to read include: Wonder by R.J. Palacio, How to Outrun a Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied by Jess Keating, and The Grave Robber’s Apprentice by Allan Stratton. Children aged 7-14 can also register for Star Wars and Superheroes, a comic making workshop with local artist David Day. In August there will also be a four day long Young Storytellers Workshop in the evenings with Ben Bright of the 1000 Islands Festival of Storytelling.

Children who register will learn skills to tell stories for the festival in September.

Drop in events for younger children

and families include a group meet up for the Thousand Islands Playhouse Young Company production of Bird Brain and a Teddy Bear Picnic and Science Alive event in Town Park with the Ontario Early Years Center. Story times include Stories Alive with Literacy Specialist Laura Lee MacDonald and a Pajama Story Time with a library sleep over for stuffed animals. Club members can also join in to make Willy Wonka’s Human Candy Machine with Dreams in Motion. Finally there will be a pizza party to close the program on Aug. 20 with prizes to celebrate summer reading success and a recap of the adventures of the club’s Gan Flat Stanley.

The Gananoque Public Library will also be hosting a Reading Buddies program throughout the summer through collaboration with local schools. Select students from Grades 5 to 12 will act as reading buddies for children between the ages of four and eight who would like a reading friend as they develop their literacy skills.

The library will help to arrange a date and time for children to meet. Reading Buddies will be run in the safety of the library setting with the support of library staff. Families interested having

their child meet with a reading buddy are encouraged to contact the library.

Building on the popularity of last year, kids will again be able to mark each book they read on a personalized name plate at the front desk; and any books kids report on at the library (orally, through illustration, in writing or through posts on the TD Club website) will earn a sticker for their club notebook.

Once a club member has nine stickers they will receive a ticket for a free Blizzard treat courtesy of Dairy Queen Gananoque. There are 12 stickers in all to collect. Kids can visit the library to collect books to read, record and report on whenever the library is open. Every child who signs up will receive an activity pack with all they need to take part. Every week there will be a new craft activity available for children to do to add to the fun of their visit.

For more information on how to sign up for the TD Summer Reading Club and to register for summer events please contact the library at 613-3822436 or e-mail gplp@bellnet.ca Pamela Forsyth Hudson is with the Gananoque Public Library.

Children’s theatre camp accepting registrations now

By CONAN de VRIES

Entertainment - Any children who have sat in the audience at the Brockville Arts Centre or in the amphitheatre at the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival and dreamt of one day gracing a similar stage will have a golden opportunity this summer to get a taste of life in front of the footlights.

All the better, in so doing they will be helping other kids follow the same dream.

The Prescott Kidz Choir (PKC) will be holding its second annual weeklong theatre camp at the end of July, and all the money raised from registrations will go to support the two musical theatre productions that PKC stages every year at no charge to the many children who take part.

The theatre camp, which runs from July 21-25, and is presently accepting registrations, gives budding thespians—or even kids looking for no more than a unique and interesting experience—the chance to learn all about the theatre and what goes into staging a successful theatrical production.

Everything from lighting and sound to props and set design, along with costuming and acting and even the history of theatre is covered during the week-long program, and the camp’s first installment last year was so successful, there was no doubt it would run again this summer.

“It turned out really great,” says Prescott’s Lynda Joanisse, who started the program and founded PKC. “The kids do a lot of creating and they do a lot of work all by themselves. They learn a lot.”

Registration for the theatre camp

Prescott Kidz Choir (PKC) is accepting registrations for a children’s theatre camp taking place later in July.

The camp gives youngsters a chance to learn more about the theatre while helping support PKC’s twiceyearly children’s musical productions, in which all local kids are invited to participate free of charge. costs $150, but that money will then help offset the cost of the two children’s musicals that the Prescott Kidz Choir produces every year, in May and December, at no cost to the families of the many children who participate and who have made the last six produc-

tions so wildly popular.

“It’s absolutely free,” says Joanisse, who aims to keep it that way.

The twice-yearly musicals are no slapdash affairs. They are children’s productions only in the sense that children do all the work. Otherwise,

they are top-flight stage shows, fullfledged, fully-realized plays complete with makeup, costumes, music, lighting, impressive sets and capable direction.

Between 35 and 55 children have taken part in each of the six produc-

tions staged in the last three years, and all are given something important to do, whether on stage or backstage, and those who return, as most do, for subsequent productions, are assured a different job each time, so someone painting the sets for one show might be in the lead role for the next.

Kids in Prescott have taken to the program as enthusiastically as kids did in Ottawa, where Joanisse started the PKC program eight years ago. In its original incarnation, PKC stood for Parkdale Kidz Choir, named for the neighbourhood in Ottawa where it first occurred to Joanisse how she might put into practice the Christian values of grace and charity that have so moved her to give back to the community.

“When we first started out it was quite a needy area,” she says.

One summer, in association with the Parkdale Baptist Church, Joanisse helped organize a fun camp for area kids. More than 70 kids from the small neighbourhood showed up and had a blast.

“We saw that there was a need throughout the year for the loads of kids who were just dying to do something.”

Joanisse has always been interested in music and theatre, so the Parkdale Kidz Choir was born, and every year for five years, kids from the neighbourhood would get together to stage two elaborate musical productions and, as in Prescott, the entire program was free.

ST. LAWRENCE NEWS - Thursday, June 26, 2014 19

Headline acts announced for this year’s Delta Fair

PKC Before moving to Prescott – with her husband, Jean-Marc, and their two daughters – Joanisse turned PKC Ottawa over to a young woman who started out as a program participant but who now runs the operation – and quite successfully, too. “It’s really wonderful,� says Joanisse. “It’s still going strong.�

Now, that same program – slightly renamed – is meeting with the same success in the Fort Town. In fact, last year, at the annual awards banquet held by the South Grenville Chamber of Commerce, Joanisse was excited, and surprised, to be named recipient of the Community Arts and Cultural Contribution award in recognition of her work with PKC in Prescott.

Though Joanisse makes no claim to being a trained performer herself, she has dabbled in theatre since her university days, and last year was shocked to land the lead role in the Brockville Operatic Society’s production of The Music Man at the Brockville Arts Center. More than that, she and her siblings—two sisters and a brother—sang for years as the Ambler Family, performing in churches and at events and festivals throughout Ottawa. “We were like the von Trapps,� quips Joanisse. “We sang everywhere.�

The Ambler Family performed regularly at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium, singing the Canadian and American anthems prior to Ottawa Lynx games, and on one memorable occasion, when the home team’s opponents were delayed arriving to the sta-

dium, a full set of just about every song the siblings knew.

The Prescott Kidz Choir is somewhat of a family effort as well. Joanisse is grateful for the support she and her ambitious enterprise have enjoyed from her twin sister, Leslie Fournier, and her father, Lloyd Ambler.

Initially, PKC in Prescott piggybacked a little bit on PKC Ottawa, performing plays that had already been purchased there with financial backing from the Parkdale Baptist Church. Several times, funding shortfalls in Prescott have been covered out of pocket

by Joanisse, her father and even a couple of generous parents.

Now, though, the program has run long enough that PKC needs to buy the rights to new plays and additional music, rights which do not come cheap. Add to that the supplies and materials needed to put on a genuinely top-notch production and give children all the tools they need to make the most of their talents, and it costs about $1,000 to put on one of the plays. “It’s getting more costly,� says Joanisse, who is nevertheless quick to reaffirm her commitment to ensuring that the PKC musicals remain free to anybody who wants to participate.

There isn’t even any charge to the audience that comes out to see the final productions, and Joanisse insists it will stay that way, even if she has to dip into her own pocket. Ideally, though, she won’t have to do that. That’s why the upcoming theatre camp is so important, for any money

collected from registration fees will go to fund the next two PKC musicals, in which children who attend the camp are also most welcome to take part. If, perchance, more money is collected than is needed for the two plays, Joanisse has a good idea for the remainder. “I would love to give some sort of financial gift to the churches that have been so supportive of us.�

Until this year, all the PKC practices have been held at St. Paul’s United Church and performances in the sanctuary at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Lately, practices have been moved to St. Lawrence Academy, and performances are now held in St. Andrew’s church hall, where there is a proper stage and even a curtain, which delighted the young actors no end.

So many people have helped make the Prescott Kidz Choir something kids look forward to and to which they return year after year, and many local residents have lent their support to help keep the program free and open to all, as Joanisse had always envisioned. “Prescott is such a giving community,� she says. “I can’t believe how much people from Prescott have stepped up to do things for us.�

Specifically, Joanisse is eager to express her gratitude to Christina Madden, Joe Hanna Freer, Shawn Freer, Jen Klinger, Robert and Colleen Haller, Rick Pryus, Tony Hicks and Reverend Roger March.

Anybody who wants to learn more about PKC can do so online at www.pkcmusicals. vpweb.ca.

Entertainment - Derek Edwards – Baloney and Wine is coming to select Ontario theatres – including the Brockville Arts Centre, Oct. 17.

Tickets go on sale Thursday, June 26.

Derek Edwards - Baloney and Wine is an uproarious romp through the increasingly strange quirks of our daily routines. It’s relentless and brazen, a tightly woven running commentary about human nature ... “The thinking man’s coffee break.� In an ever more chaotic world, Edwards remains an inimitable constant, the hilarious voice of reason.

As he says, “28 years in, it’s AAALLLL starting to click!�

From Vegas to St. John’s, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite.

Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic - Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.�

Edwards’ new 90-minute stand-up comedy show ... a richly textured and enthralling ‘cut above,’ delivered with

Playhouse ladies

Norm Foster’s The Ladies Foursome gets first production at Playhouse Entertainment - It’s always an exciting event when The Playhouse features a comedy by audience favourite and Canada’s most-produced playwright Norm Foster. But audiences are in for a special treat when they see The Ladies Foursome playing July 3-27 at the popular Morrisburg theatre.

They’ll be the first to enjoy this much-awaited sequel to one of Foster’s most popular plays -The Foursome.

Hitting stages about two decades ago, the original Foursome featured a band of four middle-aged college chums reuniting for a round of golf to catch up with each other. The wit, scheming, secrets and sparring that characterized this now famous golf game entertained audiences at every major theatre in the country.

For years Foster has been encouraged

to write a female version of this hit show. So when he offered the Playhouse the chance to produce the premiere, they jumped at the opportunity.

The Ladies Foursome is a completely different story from the original- new characters, new situation and a whole new set of circumstances. All except one- it all happens during 18 holes of golf. Like the original Foursome, audiences don’t need to know anything at all about the game. They just need to be prepared to have the time of their lives as the ladies discuss life, love, men, children, careers—everything but golf.

They’ll also enjoy the surprises, secrets and confessions that come to the fore as they challenge each other’s views on all of these topics.

In The Ladies Foursome, three friends play a round of golf in honour

of a recently deceased friend. They’re joined by another friend of the deceased who they’ve never met who brings a new dynamic to the group.

The friendly round of golf soon gets personal, revealing, touching and hilariously funny as Foster focuses his comic lens on the ladies and their relationships. There’s Margot, who owns a construction company; Connie, a successful TV news anchor; Tate, a housewife married to a surgeon and Dory, the unexpected guest, who runs a lodge up north.

The show boasts a star-studded cast of veteran actresses with extensive careers at major theatres across the country.

Connie is played by Melanie Janzen,

seen in Playhouse productions of There Goes The Bride and Here on the Flight Path. She has also spent several seasons with the Stratford and Shaw Festivals as well as toured North America with such musicals as Showboat. Sharon Heldt, Margot, has played at the Blyth and Stratford Festivals, Tarragon and Drayton theatres, among others. The role of Dory is played by Jane Spence, whose credits include Mirvish Productions’ Calendar Girls and the Stratford Festival.

Leah Oster, Tate, has performed with the Charlottetown and Stratford Festivals, Regina’s Globe theatre among others.

The Ladies Foursome is directed by Jesse Collins who was at the helm for past Playhouse Foster hits Bedtime

Stories, The Affections of May and The Foursome. Elsewhere for the stage he has directed Pump Boys and Dinettes, Misery, The Melville Boys and The Foursome for Harbourside Playhouse. For television he has directed Zoboomafoo for PBS (for which he received an Emmy nomination) as well as episodes of Canadian Geographic, Katts & Dog/Rin Tin Tin for CTV/The Family Channel. After its Morrisburg run, The Playhouse’s production of The Ladies Foursome will tour to Theatre Orangeville in the Fall. The Ladies Foursome runs July 3-27.

Vacancy rate in seniors’ housing residences at 9.7 per cent Business — The vacancy rate for standard spaces, which dominate seniors’ residences in Canada, decreased slightly over the past year, reaching 9.7 per cent in 2014, compared to 10.3 per cent in 2013, according to the Seniors’ Housing Report – Canada Highlights edition released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The average vacancy rate for all standard and non-standard spaces also decreased, to 8.7 per cent in 2014 from 9.2 per cent in 2013. “While the total number of spaces for seniors increased in 2014, this was slightly outpaced by an increase in the total number of resi-

dents,” said Bruno Duhamel, manager, housing and economic analysis. “This led to a slight decrease in the overall vacancy rate in 2014.”

Vacancy rates varied across the country, from a high of 22.6 per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador to a low of 4.6 per cent in Manitoba. The vacancy rates for standard spaces in Ontario (13.9 per cent), British Columbia (10.9 per cent) and Saskatchewan (9.9 per cent) were above the national average. The rates in Quebec (7.5 per cent), Alberta (8.5 per cent), New Brunswick (8.7 per cent), Prince Edward Island (9.0 per cent) and Nova

Scotia (9.1 per cent) were below the national average.

Across the country, the average rent for bachelor units and private rooms, where at least one meal is included in the rent, rose by 2.4 per cent, to $2,043 per month in 2014, compared to $1,995 in 2013. The highest average rent was recorded in Prince Edward Island ($2,782), and the lowest, in Quebec ($1,497).

According to the survey, 218,650 seniors lived in the 2,799 residences surveyed. Across the country, there were 219,052 spaces in these residences, with the majority (76.5 per cent) being stan-

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

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

CMHC launches web-based Housing Market Information Portal Business — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), one of Canada’s most trusted sources of housing information and analysis, recently launched its Housing Market Information Portal (the Portal). A new, dynamic, web-based tool, the Portal lets users meet their information needs by accessing CMHC’s wealth of housing market data in one, easy location.

Unrivalled in scope and flexibility, the Portal provides housing market information to address a wide range of strategic business needs — at no cost to users.

“As Canada’s housing authority, CMHC continues to be the most comprehensive and reliable source of information on housing in Canada. The Portal is another example of how CMHC makes accurate and upto-date information available to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry,” said Michel Laurence, CMHC’s vice president, policy and research. “Whether users are looking for high-level national and provincial housing statistics, or local data for specific cities or neighbourhoods, the Portal can readily provide

the objective and impartial information Canadians have come to rely on from CMHC.” The Portal has four different views or ways — At-a-Glance, Compare, Tables and Publications — to access information. Each view is supported by a map-based interface, making access to geography-specific information quick and easy. A state-of-the-art search function and a geography-related drop-down menu gives users the flexibility to refine their data search from the national to the neighbourhood level without using the map, if desired. Users can access historical, current and comparative reports in a range of outputs, including tables, charts, and maps available in PDF and spreadsheet formats, suitable for sharing with clients, colleagues and stakeholders. The Portal also enables users to search CMHC’s most recent and historical Housing Market Information publications.

Additional details on the Portal’s features and functions can be viewed by accessing the tool at www.cmhc. ca/hmiportal.

Board to adopt Elephant in the Room anti-stigma campaign

Photo by CONAN de VRIES

Local charitable organization Our Kenyan Kids celebrated its 10th anniversary with a gala dinner and silent auction at the Roebuck Hall last weekend, and in attendance was the group’s founder, Reverend Doug Warren, who is flanked by board members (from left) Linda James, Carolyn Matheson, Vicki Lynch Grier, Kathie Kelso and Donna McMillan. Board member Beth Kent also attended but was unavailable for the photo.

News – If you find blue elephants at schools across the Upper Canada District School Board this fall, don’t worry – you aren’t seeing things.

In fact, there will be at least one at every school starting in September 2014.

The board will participate in the Mood Disorders Society of Canada Elephant in the Room anti-stigma campaign, a public information effort to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. A stuffed blue elephant, developed by the society, will be placed in a room at each school.

The toy will signify a “safe area� where staff and students can come to talk about any mental health issues they may be facing. “We want to eliminate the stigma attached to mental health issues and provide a safe place for children to reach out and communicate,� said Suzanne Rivard, chair of the Upper Canada District School

Board Parent Involvement Committee, which is sponsoring the campaign within the board.

The stuffed elephants will be displayed in areas such as a school’s main office or guidance office –wherever each school decides is the best place to set up the safe area, said Rivard. Students can go to these rooms to talk about issues without fear of being looked on differently, thought of less, or punished, she said. “Younger kids can even go into these rooms just to cuddle the elephant.� “Our students will be treated with respect and dignity and will find support and understanding from someone who cares,� added Superintendent David Coombs.

The campaign will also involve posters that will be displayed at the schools.

Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Entertainment - It was the Jazz Age in the days of Prohibition, and with ‘All That Jazz’ came some ‘bees knees’ (terrific) slang. Practice yours at our promotional ‘blow’ (party) for the second annual “Rockport Prohibition Days” festival.

‘Ankle’ (walk) on down to our little ‘juice joint’ (drinking establishment/ speakeasy) in Rockport and order up a ‘lap’ (drink) or two. You won’t need ‘heavy sugar’ (lots of money)…just an ‘Abe’s cabe’ ($5) and maybe a couple of ‘clams’ ($1). Don’t come for ‘noodle juice’ (tea). That wasn’t the ‘frog’s eyebrows’ (great) in the days of Prohibition.

Everyone was flaunting the law that banned the sale of ‘hooch’ (booze).

You’ll want a ‘jorum of skee’ (hard liquor) or a glass of ‘panther sweat’ (whiskey). Pull out the ‘green glorious’ (money) for the good stuff…no ‘coffin varnish’ (bootleg liquor) or ‘busthead’ (homemade liquor) here. And don’t try any ‘applesauce’ (flattery) with the servers…your ‘snort’ (drink) won’t be delivered any faster.

We hope you’re not a ‘cellar smeller’ (man who went to bars hoping there was no cost) and ‘don’t take any wooden nickels’ (don’t do anything stupid) or get ‘splifficated’ (drunk) or you’ll have to ‘go chase yourself’(get lost). Yes, you’ll get ‘the bum’s rush’ (thrown out).

Listen to the ‘whangdoodle’ (jazz

music) sounds of Doug Gifford…we’ll be ‘hopping’ (dancing) to the tunes of the Twenties. If you’re a ‘hopper’ (dancer) you’ll have a grand time. You might even meet a ‘bearcat’ (hot-blooded, fiery woman) or a ‘big cheese’ (important person) or a ‘floor flusher’ (insatiable dancer). Hopefully you won’t meet a ‘dew dropper’ (man who sleeps all day and has no job), a ‘flat tire’ (bore) or a ‘heeler’ (poor dancer).

‘Dud up’ (dress up)… as a flapper or gangster, a Victorian lady, a river rat, or a personality of the period.

Ladies, wear your Twenties’ ‘munitions’ (makeup), rouge your knees like the flappers did, and get out your boas.

Courage Canoe launches during special ceremony News - Students at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School have been working diligently for some time now on a project very dear to their hearts – the creation of a birch bark canoe. On Thursday, June 19, they watched as that project finally reached fruition during an assembly at Linklater Public School.

David Jock, also known as Spirit Now, of Akwesasne, began the ceremony in prayer.

“Giving thanks for all the living entities is what it’s all about,” Jock began.

He gave thanks for the water and the fish; the animals and the plants. “The creator knew that if he gave us all the wisdom we would take it for granted and forget some, and so he gave wisdom to the animals.”

GSS principal Chris Boston spoke briefly, thanking Linklater Public School for hosting the event in which the life size birch bark canoe, built by the students was launched into the waters at the Gananoque Canoe Club.

“It’s so nice to look out around the room at so many other community members who have joined us here today, to be a part of Photo by JAN MURRAY this. Community is very important. We all Chuck Commanda and Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School teacher Dion have to pull together to be successful,” he Running take a voyage in the birch bark canoe, made by students, which was launched said.

June 19 at the Gananoque Canoe Club.

“We are continuing our commitment to our collective past. Schools are about innovation for the future,” Boston said.

This project was led, in part by Judy Belanger; a teacher at GSS, who is very passionate about aboriginal studies and together with the leadership of Dion Running, this project has been very successful.

“The intermediate and secondary students came together as one to create one 14-foot birch bark canoe and 13 replica one meter birch canoes. Each of the first 10 canoes represent the values the Upper Canada School Board value so much. The three remaining canoes represent courage,” Joel Marshall, one of three students who took the lead on this project explained.

GSS student Brad Nash explained, “Walking away from this, we have now expanded our knowledge about Aboriginal INSIDE ille culture.” brockv Tim McFadden, one of the three young men who took the lead on this project introduced McKenna Modler who spoke of courage and the battles she herself has faced.

Modler told a story of how cancer has affected her life. “Cancer first touched my life when my nana was diagnosed with lung cancer. It started in her lung and spread to Each year we help over 50,000 her brain.”

As the morning ceremonies drew to a close, some of the students offered gifts to the honoured guests before GSS vice principal Rich Tamblyn offered closing remarks.

“The purpose of today is to celebrate the launch of this canoe,” Tamblyn explained.

Following the one hour ceremony, everyone gathered outside as a smudging ceremony took place and then the canoe was carried to the water’s edge at the Gananoque Canoe Club where her first voyage was launched with McKenna Modler and Chuck Commanda.

Chuck and Janet Commanda, expert canoe builders, were on hand at the school for approximately a month leading construction. The bark has been cut for students by Chuck, whose family of master canoe builders has built a deep appreciation and sincere talent within him for the craft.

Lifestyle - It’s another week and another ignition switch/key related recall from GM, but before any non-GM owners out there get comfy and too smug, be aware, your own vehicle’s ignition system doesn’t differ that much from the infamous GM design. In fact the U.S. National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada are currently investigating a series of Jeep Commanders (2006-2007) and Grand Cherokees (2005-2006) for similar complaints. Once again carmakers are warning drivers to lighten their key chains. In the latest GM recall, the issue can be resolved by reducing the size of the hole in the key’s head where the ring and/or chain are attached. A slotted hole combined with a heavy key chain can cause the key to turn the ignition to the off or accessory position over rough bumps. Late model Camaros are being recalled because their switchblade style key can come into contact with the driver’s knee bumping it into the off or accessory position without warning.

While GM hasn’t issued this warning to drivers, I will; if your vehicle has a tilt steering column, don’t drive with the steering wheel in the lowest position.

This increases the chances of your upper leg or knee bumping the key. And leave the bracelet charms, name tags, and other heavy items off your vehicle’s key ring. The only thing that should be there is your vehicle key and entry/remote start fob.

If you own any type of vehicle and want to check if there’s an outstanding recall, simply call an authorized dealership and provide them with your vehicle serial number or check the manufacturer’s website (some have an online recall checker function).

JD Power recently published their annual Initial Quality Survey reporting the number of problems per 100 vehicles in the first 90 days of ownership. The top five manufactures (with the fewest complaints) were Porsche (74 problems/100 vehicles), Jaguar 87, Lexus 92, Hyundai 94, and Toyota 105. The industry average was 116, which was up from 113, the average for last year. The main source of problems causing the increase, according to JD Power, was infotainment

systems with touch screen and voice command controls.

Ready to hit the road this summer?

If you’re towing a recreational or boat trailer, take a few moments to make sure you, your passengers, and your gear gets to your destination and back safe and sound.

1) Always complete a walk-around before starting out on any leg of your trip, checking lights, tires, trailer hitch, safety chains, cargo, tarps, and load straps.

2) Make sure your mirrors are wide enough to provide good visibility. If you have a wide or bulky trailer, extended mirrors may be needed. The ones that strap on to your existing mirrors are the easiest to install and can be the most cost effective.

3) Make sure hitch safety chains are securely attached and not dragging on the ground. A few hundred miles of contact with pavement can wear a link to the point of breaking. Also make sure your trailer wiring isn’t slack enough to touch the ground. It only takes a few miles of dragging to wear through wire coatings.

4) Trailer lamps should be checked every season for corrosion or damage.

Remove each lens and pull every bulb to inspect them. A little dab of di-electric grease (from any auto parts store) on the bulb and socket can go a long way to keep contacts corrosion free and working well.

5) When checking tires, take the time to remove them to ensure the lug nuts aren’t seized and to ensure your vehicle’s jack will do the job. It’s much better to find this out in your driveway at home rather than on the side of the highway.

6) If the hub bearings are serviceable on your trailer, get them repacked with

grease annually.

7) Make sure your vehicle is rated to tow the weight of your trailer including cargo and any fuel or water it make carry.

8) If this is the first trip with a particular trailer, take a test spin around the neighbourhood to make sure you’re comfortable with the turning radius and the way your vehicle handles.

Summer chrome season has arrived and you can catch the action almost anywhere. On Saturday, June 28 the 11th annual Mopar Magic Car Show lands in Lamoureux Riverfront Park in Cornwall. There will be a Girl Guide BBQ and fundraiser and the Mopar Special Events Caravan from Windsor will be on hand.

On Sunday the 29th the ever popular and growing Wheels on the Mississippi Car Show returns to Riverside Park in Carleton Place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Food vendors will be on hand and it’s a good thing because this show can take some time to take in, but it’s worth every minute. On the same day the Alexandria Car Show happens in Alexandria Island Park hosted by the Eazy Cruisers.

On Canada Day the Golden Gears Car Club and the Iroquois & Matilda District Lion’s Club join forces to hose a Canada Day Car Show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Seaway Locks in Iroquois.

There will be trophies, a 50/50 draw, live entertainment, door prizes, a huge chicken BBQ and fun for the whole family. Almonte celebrates Canada’s birthday with the Almonte Canada Day Car Show in downtown Almonte from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

GCFDC reports on contributions to growth in business throughout county

By CONAN de VRIES

Business - The Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation held its annual general meeting at the Ingredion Centre in Cardinal last week, and once again reported on a productive year that helped contribute to the growth of business throughout the county. “We are happy to report that we have a very high-performing organization,� said chair Norrie Spence.

In the last fiscal year, the GCFDC disbursed $1.4 million in loans to 27 area businesses, money which was used to leverage a further $2.2 million in funding and impact 117 different jobs.

Since 1990, the GCFDC has handed out more than $20.5 million to 487 different businesses, contributing to more than 3,000 local jobs, and the organization is committed to continuing its support of business throughout the community. “This organization is well-posi-

tioned to continue to serve businesses,� said Spence.

The organization also provides business counselling services, and last year delivered 85 in-depth sessions to help new and existing businesses. They also deliver the Self-Employment Benefits program (SEB), which helped 39 new businesses start up and create 42 new jobs last year.

GCFDC also supported seven projects under the auspices of the Community Planning and Economic Assistance Development program, with a total investment of nearly $30,000.

The organization also administers the federally-funded Eastern Ontario Development Program in this area, and through that program last year invested more than $800,000 in Photo by CONAN de VRIES Heather Lawless, executive director of Grenville Community Futures 77 different projects. “The EODP has been so successDevelopment Corporation, speaks to the assembled audience at Cardinal’s Ingredion Centre during the GCFDC’s annual general meeting ful,� said MP Gord Brown. “It’s made a real impact on the employlast week.

ment situation in Eastern Ontario.�

Accountant Robert Walker, of Walker and Associates, then presented a report on his annual audit of GCFDC’s books, which again demonstrated that the organization is making the most efficient and responsible use of the funding at its disposal.

After voting to have Walker and his company audit the books again next year, the members then voted a new addition onto the 11-member board of directors, which works with GCFDC staff to help determine how best to support the local business community.

The new member is Walter McWilliams, a guidance counsellor at South Grenville District High School. “He’s a really fascinating guy,� said Spence, who was responsible for putting McWilliams forward as a nominee. “He comes to us with a great wealth of knowledge.�

Individuals gathered at the newly opened Elizabethtown-Kitley Public Library to meet the committee and preview the mapping system.

What is cultural mapping?

According to Rob Smith, Elizabethtown-Kitley councillor and council representative on the Heritage ElizabethtownKitley Committee, cultural mapping is, “An important tool and process that can build a network utilizing assets found in the municipality. Cultural mapping provides an understanding of culture, history, the community’s uniqueness in hamlets and villages, such as Toledo, Frankville, Jasper, to name a few. It can be used to build community and community involvement. It attracts visitors, encourages entrepreneurs and business partners, supports economic development opportunities, is used for future planning and decision making. Cultural mapping will inform residents, future residents and future business partners what Elizabethtown-Kitley has to offer and it will contribute to the quality of life.”

This project proceeded with a grant application and acceptance by the Ministry of Sport, Culture and Tourism’s Creative Communities Prosperity Fund (CCPF) for cultural mapping, together with the support of Elizabethtown-Kitley Township.

“The committee of Rob Smith, Elizabethtown-Kitley councillor and council representative on the Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley Committee, Jim McMullen, Mary Anne Gibson, Blake McKim and I discussed it (grant application) and thought that if people knew where the cultural assets were throughout the township, everyone would know what is available,” said Tracy Gayda, chair of Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley. “We put a proposal into Elizabethtown-Kitley Township and spoke to them on the importance of bringing forward the township, a rural society, to display our cultural assets.”

Once approved, the application was submitted and word came back from the

Facilities (sports, fitness centre, churches, parks, galleries) and Community and Cultural Organizations (community arts, religious organizations and social clubs).

“During this time, Leeds County Geographic Information System Team became very interested as no cultural mapping had been done in Leeds-Grenville,” said Gayda. “They have done some mapping for the county and they became very interested in our project. So when we were looking to develop the map, they said they would be glad to help us. They came on board and they were able to work with the planning committee and ElizabethtownKitley Township Planner.”

Gayda pointed out that they developed the Cultural Map of Elizabethtown-Kitley, which is a living project and will be maintained by the Heritage Committee in collaboration with the township’s administration.

Ward agrees that while working on this mapping project that ElizabethtownKitley does have some asset similarities, but there are also some unique features that make the township different from any other municipality.

“Within our built heritage the wonderful churches have such a history and so many stories and they continue today and this is where we have built the Facebook business page where they can include their events, dinners, community lunches,” added Ward.

The committee’s Facebook page is www. facebook.com/pages/Elizabethtown-Kitley-Cultural-Map/207309859429733.

Working farms, walking and hiking trails, skiing, snowmobile and ATV trails make this area distinctive from city living.

“It was important to involve the stakeholders and the community, so they could be engaged in this,” stated Ward. “There are some treasures out there that are lesser known; as it has been taken for granted by locals.”

Both Gayda and Ward agree that seeing asset clusters on a map or even the prominence of a certain asset could promote future planning and affect decisions made for economic development in Elizabethtown-Kitley.

With two public workshops, surveys, interviews, telephone calls, using social media, this information was used to identify and map the township’s cultural assets.

The same question was continually asked: what makes your neighbourhood Set your and township a great place to live?

The result was divided into cultural asset categories including Cultural Heritage (historic sites, cultural landscapes, cemeteries, buildings), Natural Heritage (gardens, farms forest, parks, conservation area, wildlife sanctuaries), Creative Cultural Occupations (pottery, artists, musicians, writers, libraries, design, theatre groups), Creative Cultural Industries (bakery, art galleries, artists, illustrators, antiques), Festivals and Events (fairs, craft festivals, tours, museums, church/community dinners, sporting events), Spaces and

Trinity Anglican church building beset by thieves for sale again News – It is with disbelief and regret that the owners of the Trinity Anglican Church building have learned of the willful destruction of and theft within a Brockville landmark, they had hoped would complement a future condominium development.

According to a press release, a police investigation is now under way into the systematic damage to the church’s interior, theft of two tower bells and mutilation of the remaining bells, among other violations.

Thieves even made off with the congregation’s bronze plaque dedicated to the bells, much to the dismay of Father Michael Read, who has toured the desecrated building. “This turn of events constitutes nothing short of sacrilege to a building that is still held dear by many in Brockville, and for which we have actively sought a suitable buyer since 2011,� said Rolf Baumann, president of The RGB Group in Ottawa, who owns the church building with other business

partners along with the adjoining lands. “We will be sharing the Brockville Police Service’s results with the public and Brockville City council in the coming months.�

Baumann explained in the press release that his company had liability insurance on Trinity Anglican, but did not have theft insurance. Thus the loss of the estimated $70,000 it hoped to secure from a complete set of church bells to pay taxes and/ or invest in building maintenance, in addition to the theft or destruction of other architectural features renders the building unviable for any future purpose. “This is an ignoble fate not only for the members of Trinity Anglican Church, but for an architectural landmark that has graced Brockville since 1877,� said Father Read, who served as Rector of the Parish for 12 years.

Baumann, who has been responsible for several successful green building developments in Ottawa, stated that he and his development partners very

BROCKVILLE

RELAY FOR LIFE 2014 Relay for Life tops $102,000 mark in Brockville

By STAFF

News – It was another great night of remembering and fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society with the return of the Brockville Relay for Life at the Row’s Corners Fairgrounds Friday and Saturday, June 13-14.

This year’s event attracted a total of 356 participants on 29 teams. Together they raised an impressive $102,229.

Forty-six cancer survivors were on hand at the facility to be honoured during the Survivors’ Victory Lap which helped kick-off the evening.

Later on, as dusk set in, more than 600 Luminaries were lit in memory of a loved one who has passed away from the disease or in honour of one who continues to fight.

The top fundraising teams for 2014 were the ‘Shoppers for the Cure’ led by captain Brenda Gallant and ‘Fight Like a Girl with Daria’ led by captain Daria Sanger.

The Brockville event was one of three Relays held over two weekends this month.

Despite the threat of rain in Smiths Falls that same night, 22 teams took part in the 12-hour, overnight Relay for Life, raising $50,020 this year.

Thirty-nine survivors were included in the initial lap around the track. There were also 522 luminaries lit in honour or in memory of loved ones, and 256 participants took turns walking for the 12-hour period.

Mississippi Mills also hosted a Relay in Almonte’s Gemmill Park June 6-7. Totals were down slightly this year, but still over $100,000.

Just three years ago, when the event was held at the Lombardy fairgrounds as well as Brockville, a milestone was hit in 2011 – the $3 million mark after 12 years running. This was attained after some $250,000 was raised by 65 teams in Lombardy alone.

Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordinator with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville office, says there are a number of ways people can donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, and money is still coming in from their online sponsorship page, which is open until the end of July.

“We have so many ways to donate,” she says.

“We have a number of fundraisers, and people are still donating to the cause. It’s just spread out more over the course of the year.”

A new event will be held this year in Kemptville at Riverside Park with a 2km and 5km fun run. The event, to be held Sept. 27, is called Neon Nights and money raised from this fundraiser will go to childhood cancer.

Another newer event earlier this year was the Rave-a-lution, a dance/exercise party held at the Perth Civitan Club. Gifford hopes to find some volunteers to help her with the second installment of this initiative.

Twenty-nine teams participated in the 2014 Brockville Relay for Life with 356 people, all ages, taking part on Friday, June 13 through the night into the morning. There were team names like Athens Hillibillies (shown above), Bridgeview Babes, Cancer Kickers, Princess Lillian, Fight Like a Girl with Daria, Pink Panther Den, Denver’s Dragonflies, Brown Family, Game Changers, Rays of Sunshine, Cell

Forty-six survivors attended the Survivor Dinner and walked the Survivors’ Victory Lap. Loud applause could be heard as each person wearing the survivor yellow shirt passed by the line-up of people on both sides of the track.

What an inspiration to others!

Mates, Pink Pacers to name a few. Top individual fundraiser for this year was Lillian White with $2,441 from the team of Princess Lillian.

Although the thunder, lightning and rain came, it didn’t dampen peoples’ spirits. Once the foul weather cleared, the evening continued on scheduled with Relay’s Got Talent, Pajamas Hour, Crazy Hat hour, Colours of Relay, Ballad Fiasco and lots of music.

The Game Changers from Shoppers Drug Mart downtown have a definite Canadian look to them as they parade during the opening of Relay for Life.

Messages from Relay event chairs Unfortunately, we have all had cancer affect us in some way. For me, cancer took away my Mom - my best friend - who lost her battle with cancer four months after being diagnosed. I walk in her memory. I also walk for my three children who deserve a life without the fear of cancer lurking around the corner.

This is my sixth year involved with the Relay For Life in Brockville and I have had the privilege to be surrounded by some pretty fantastic people along the way. To the Committee, you guys are the best and I love you all. To the participants, survivors, volunteers, and sponsors, you are all the heart of Relay and it could not happen without your dedication and big hearts.

Hope: the state which promotes the desire of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one’s life or in the world at large.

There is real hope for a future without cancer... We are the ones who create that hope.

Karen Leeder Event Co-Chair

Cancer has touched my family in so many ways. Our family relays for our daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter…Miss Princess Lillian White (five-year survivor). As well as for many family members and friends that have lost the battle or kicked Cancer to the curb.

We have had the opportunity to have a wonderful fun-filled team in Relay for five years but this year I, Jodie White, decided to take the step and help organize the Relay For Life in Brockville with a wonderful committee.

I would like to take this time to THANK each and every one of you who helped organize the event and for all who participated and MOST of all to the survivors. This event would not have been possible without you all.

Thanks for continuously being a fighter and always remember TO FIGHT BACK. Jodie White Event Co-Chair

Take action against cancer now!

Changing public policy is one of the most effective tools for preventing cancer and helping those living with and beyond cancer. The best way to change public policy is for Canadians to speak up and make our collective voices heard.

Funding of take home cancer drugs It is estimated that 2 out of 5 Canadians are expected to develop cancer in their lifetime. Cancer is stressful enough without adding the extra burden of financial stress and anxiety related to drug access. Unfortunately, the current system in Ontario often does create this additional stress, and at times delays or prevents patients from accessing cancer medications.

The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that Ontario develop a provincial program that provides full coverage for eligible cancer drugs taken at home.

Ontario has the opportunity to study and review the programs in the other provinces and develop a program that is right for Ontario. It is essential that stakeholders, including the Society, Cancer Care Ontario, patients, and the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, be part of the discussion and involved in the development of Photos by DOREEN BARNES the program.

This year’s Relay for Life attracted a total of 29 teams (close to 400 participants) including (clockwise from top left) Denver’s Dragonflies, the Pink Pacers and MAD (Mothers and Flavoured tobacco In order to remain profitable, Daughters) 4 A Cure.

youth-friendly packaging.

The Canadian Cancer Society is asking the government to #endtheflavour and ban all flavoured tobacco products, including flavoured smokeless tobacco products.

Attempts have been made to ban flavoured tobacco but they have not been enough. In 2010, both the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada banned the sale of candy-flavoured cigarillos.

This law didn’t go far enough because it only banned one product: cigarillos. The law is ineffective because it has a loophole

that defines a cigarillo as 1.4 grams or less. This opened the door for the same product, just larger, to be made. This means that candy-flavoured cigarillos as well as a wide variety of other flavoured tobacco products are still being sold in Ontario. This is why we need a complete ban on flavoured tobacco products.

The third annual Fairies in the Park took place on Saturday, June 21 at St. Lawrence Park in Brockville. This event was free and many attendees wore wings and tutus. Vendors were on site with children’s books, cotton candy, candy apples, tutus, wings, toys, jewelry, as well as crafts, enchanted story telling, kids’ yoga, face painting, music and dancing.

Left, two very young fairies dressed in pretty costumes and with their wings are two-year-old Andrea (left) and her sister three-year-old Averie Claire, daughters of Chris and Jocelyn Merkley. They were enjoying the music and dancing. One costumed vendor who travelled from Nepean was Lana Burnley (above right) who was promoting a natural skin product Arbonne. Burnley had used various products over the years and felt those contributed to her having cancer.

McCRADY - In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle, Charlie, who left us on July 2nd, 2000.

Charlie’s pleasant ways and smiling face Are a pleasure to recall.

He had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all.

Someday we hope to meet you Chuck, Someday, we know not when, To clasp your hand in the better land, Never to part again.

Sadly missed by Gordon, Scott, Nancy and families.

Porter/McClintock Charlene Edna Sept 30, 1960-July 8, 2013 We watched you suffer We saw you die But all we could do was sit close by You went away, we had to part God eased your pain But broke our hearts Lovingly remembered, never to be forgotten by Mom & Dad Gordon Jr., Kim & Family Raymond, Rose & Family Robert, Elaine & Family

YOUNG, Norm June 30, 2013.

We miss your touch from your tender hands, The little thoughtful things you did God knew you needed rest, So with our love Norm, Rest in Peace in your Heavenly Home Plaza.

Sue, Sandy, Robert; wife Marg and families.

GUTKNECHT, Eric Leslie William June 25, 2010 of Kemptville.

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that, too.

We think of you in silence, we often say your name, But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, we have you in our heart.

We shed tears for what might have been, a million times we’ve cried.

If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, In our heart you hold a place, no one could ever fill.

It broke our heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God took you Home.

Mom and Dad Visit www.ericgutknechtbursary.ca for more information on the Eric Gutknecht Memorial Bursary.

IN MEMORIAM

HOY – In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, Dianne, who passed away June 30, 2013.

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name.

All we have are memories, And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Forever loved and missed Don and Kelly In loving memory of our dear sister, Dianne, who passed away June 30, 2013.

The Broken Chain We knew little that morning, That God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Love always, Doris Eyre Patricia Lackie Brian Lackie

Brooke Henderson thrills with back-nine charge at U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A tap-in par on the 72nd hole brought an end to a memorable U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open for Brooke Henderson Sunday afternoon.

The 16-year-old Smiths Falls high schooler put a charge into her final round with birdies on 10, 11 and 13 to move into a tie for fifth place at +3. But a double-bogey 6 on the 16th pushed her total to +5 and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where she finished after parring 17 and 18.

The remarkable youngster, serving as the honorary chair of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverside GM $1 million Hole-in-One Challenge in support of the St. John Ambulance (Leeds, Grenville and Lanark) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Caring for our Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; capital campaign, closed with a oneunder 69 to give her a four-day total of 285. The Team Canada member finished in a tie for 10th overall and was low amateur, three strokes up on world number one Minjee Lee of Australia.

Following her round Sunday at the famed Pinehurst No. 2 course in Pinehurst, North Carolina, Henderson told Golf Canada (www.golfcanada. ca) she was thrilled to emerge as the top amateur in the impressive field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure. The

best players in the world are here and to know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m right up there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really awesome. I still have a long way to go to where I want to be in the next couple years, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting to know that I have the potential and it was a great finish here this week.â&#x20AC;?

Entering play on Sunday at +6, Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final round started well with birdies on holes 3 and 5 to put her at +4. She was back where she started the day two holes later, however, after bogeying the sixth and seventh.

After parring the next three, she then birdied three of four on the back nine, just as NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television coverage was hitting the air. She found herself on the leaderboard, just four strokes separating her from leader Michelle Wie, the eventual champion.

In her Golf Canada interview, she said she was striking the ball well all week allowing her to score well despite the challenging layout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ball striking was really big for me today. I made two mistakes off the tee which cost me a double and a bogey, but other than that, I was hitting it really well and had a couple tap-in birdies, which is really nice.â&#x20AC;?

As she completed her round, with her sister Brittany on her bag, her impressive performance even prompted NBC announcer Dan Hicks to give her hometown a mention.

Henderson kept herself in the hunt with a solid 72 on Saturday. She entered the final round tied for 18th place at +6 with Brittany Lincicome of the United States. That was eight strokes back of co-leaders Wie and Amy Yang who were both at -2, the only players in red figures.

Henderson is poised for her first top-10 finish on the LPGA Tour, at this U.S. Open no less, being played at the historic Pinehurst #2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

On Saturday, Henderson was steady throughout her round, as she was all tournament. She was even through seven holes following a bogey on the third and birdie on 5. She lost a bit of ground after bogeys on the eighth and 10th holes but fired eight straight pars down the stretch of the challenging layout.

The only other Canadian to make the cut, Sue Kim of B.C., struggled on Saturday and Sunday, firing a 79 and 76 on the weekend. She finished at +19 for

Bobby Herrington ends one-year drought with win at Brockville 5. Raabe had a quick car and would drive by the former champion on lap 4 to take command of the race and open up a big lead. Despite the efforts of Billings and Andrews nobody was catching Raabe on this night as he cruised to his second win of 2014 over Billings.

Submitted by BOS.

The Henderson sisters wasted no time following the U.S. Open finale. They are both playing in a Canadian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tour event in Niagara Falls this week.

Jason Riddell and Stephane Lafrance giving chase. Herbison had the outside lane working great but Herrington was making the bottom work even better.

After a lap 13 caution Herrington was able to work the bottom lane to take the lead from Herbison off turn 4. Despite several challenges from Danny Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Herrington was up to the challenge as he took his first win since early in the 2012 season at Brockville. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien settled for second with Herbison third. Ryan Arbuthnot and Jason Riddell rounded out the top 5.

The Sportsman division was set to go for 25 laps and sophomore Tristan Draper wasted no time showing how good his car was as he raced out to a quick lead in the opening lap with Brian Comeau, Kenny Polite, Corey Winters and Johnathan Ferguson making up the top 5 early on. With 5 to go it appeared Ferguson was in position to run away as the lead opened up to three car lengths.

But with 1 to go Jason Shipclark charged hard and closed in on the leader. Entering turn 3 Ferguson got loose allowing Shipclark to draw alongside off turn 4.

At the checkered flag Shipclark would edge out the youngster to score his first ever Sportsman feature win with Shane Pecore, Jessica Power and Tristan Draper completing the top 5.

The Street Stock division saw Selena Simzer jump out to the early race lead over Sheldon Hoogwerf and Thomas McCabe. The lead would be short lived as two-time track champion Steve Billings would take the top spot away bringing Todd Raabe to second. Travis Andrews would follow up into third with Simzer and Darrick Eaton rounding out the top

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open which is being played in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

SAVING ENERGY!

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a big night of racing on Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Performance Plus night at the Brockville Ontario Speedway this past Saturday night. In addition to the regular card of racing, the Patriot Sprint Tour was on hand for its first of three appearances of 2014.

In the Patriot Sprint Tour Canada Series, Jared Zimbardi started from the pole and was the fastest car on the race track in the opening lap until the yellow flew quick for Tyler Rand and Dave Wickham as they tangled in turn 1. On the restart Zimbardi raced out to the lead but the red would come out quickly as a 5 car tangle occurred in turn 1 which saw Paul Pekkonen and Stan Zanchin both flip over. Both drivers would be ok but were both done for the night.

A series of late race cautions in the final 10 laps would allow Alain Bergeron to close in and challenge but try as he may it was not enough as Zimbardi would drive away to score his second straight win on the Patriot Sprint Tour Canada Series. Bergeron, Michael Parent, Chris Jones and Mitch Brown rounded out the top 5.

In 358 Modified action Chris Herbison was looking to get his first Modified win in 11 years at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BOSâ&#x20AC;? as he raced out to the early lead but a scary accident behind him saw Jordan McCreadie get pinched into the inside wall which sent the field scattering in turn 1. A total of 10 cars were involved in the accident which brought out the red flag. McCreadie was not hurt in the accident but his car was heavily damaged. When the race went back to green Herbison was running hard on the top side of the speedway with Bryan Rogers, Bobby Herrington,

the championship, tied for 59th.

Henderson was paired with U.S. star Brittany Lang to close out her second U.S. Open appearance. Lang finished at +8 after a final round 71.

By finishing in the top 10, she earns an automatic berth in the 2015 U.S.
