EMC Business - Forty years ago Brent Irvine opened The Irvine Funeral Home & Chapel located at 4 James St. E. in Brockville. The beautiful circa 1857 heritage building, formerly a private residence, was renovated to provide spacious visitation rooms, a beautiful chapel was added for all religious or non-religious faiths along with reception facilities for family gatherings.

In 1999, Brent along with his wife Barbara, purchased Roselawn Memorial Gardens in Maitland. In 2001, they constructed The Irvine Memorial Chapel and Reception Centre with on-site crematorium. No longer do families have to have their loved ones transferred out of town for cremation as the process can be performed locally. In 2010 when Jonathan Irvine joined his parents to oversee the dayto-day operation of The Irvine Memorial Chapel & Reception Centre, the facility was expanded to create larger visitation rooms, a larger chapel and receptions areas. Families choosing the caring and compassionate services of the Irvine family and their staff now have the choice of two settings and locations.

An increasing number of families are choosing to pre-plan their final ar-

rangements with The Irvine Funeral Home. Families can choose a traditional ceremony, cremation or a service/ celebration that reflects their personal beliefs or wishes. The pre-planning of your final arrangements can be done in the comfort of your own home or at one of the Irvine Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two locations. Pre-arrangement can be as simple as documenting your wishes at no obligation for pre-payment. However, by choosing to pre-pay you have added the peace of mind of knowing that the services and merchandise you have chosen are guaranteed to be provided at no additional cost at the time of need. Payment plans and insurance funded plans are also available to families alleviating financial burdens while providing peace of mind that their funds are kept safe and secure, protected by law.

The Irvine family and their staff are there to answer all your questions, to outline all the details that must be handled at the time of loss and to guide you in choosing personalized arrangements that provide added meaning to you, your family and friends.

Visit www.irvinememorial. com for more information or call 613-342-2828/613-348-3405 at no obligation.

Audience participation will be part of Playhouse’s latest production

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Arts - Audience members at ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’ may also get a chance to try their skills out at s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g. This Tony award-winning musical is opening up tomorrow, Aug. 2 at the Thousand Islands Playhouse Springer Theatre, and runs until Aug. 31.

This musical comedy is “full of catchy tunes, toe-tapping dance numbers and free-wheeling improvisation, this story follows six overachievers in the throes of puberty, as they compete for the G-O-L-D in their local county’s spelling competition,” notes promotional materials for the show. “The charming and quirky group of outsiders learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t make you a loser.”

During a special media preview, it was noted the show will give the audience a glimpse into the spellers’ histories, their hopes, dreams, aspirations. And their “spelling ticks” – for example character William Barfee’s (played by Benjamin Kyte) magic foot.

For the cast, the first night is, “gonna be pretty wild,” noted Michael SpencerDavis, who plays vice principal Douglas Panch. Before the show begins, the volunteers will be sought from the audience. Folks who love to spell will be invited on stage for the production.

“It’s all a bit dangerous,” he joked.

“Anybody who volunteers will have a great experience,” commented Andrew Kushner (who plays character Leaf Coneybear). “You will never know what’s going to happen.”

Douglas Panch, “doesn’t really want to be there,” described SpencerDavis of his character. He is filling in for someone, and “hates kids.” Panch actually has a bit of a crush on fellow character Rona Lisa Peretti (played by Kristin Galer), hence why he chose to take part in the spelling bee event. While his character doesn’t actually sing too much, that is fine by Spencer-Davis as he doesn’t do musicals. So he is rather “in awe” watching his fellow performers as they sing and dance.

While he has lengthy experience playing Shakespearean roles, and various other characters in various locales across Canada including Stratford, Ont., this is his debut at the Playhouse. He embraced this role, after having seen the production almost a decade ago. He also really wanted the opportunity to work with Ashlie Corcoran, artistic director for the Playhouse and director for this production.

“She is a bright light of new young directors,” he emphasized. “Gananoque is very lucky to get her.”

Kushnir agrees. This is also his debut performance for the Playhouse and he “really wanted” to work with Corcoran.

His character has allowed him to “indulge” a little bit in “inappropriate impulse.” He speaks to his character who is a bit of a wild child, in a playful way.

“Leaf Coneybear is a real underdog,” he said, describing his character as “feral.”

While he wasn’t raised by wolves, Coneybear has seven siblings and “hasn’t received the parental focus that was needed. I felt a great deal of heart for him, compassion for him.”

For Kushnir, the “character leapt off the page.” And Corcoran’s ability to ensure everyone’s voices are heard, given that it is a musical, has meant a lot to Kushnir.

“Ashlie is good at creating space for everyone’s voices,” he emphasized.

“What makes this show different than other theatre productions is the way it blurs the line that separates actors from the audience,” said Corcoran in a press release from the Playhouse. “People want to see the actors work on the fly; this show incorporates last-minute improvisations each night - it’s a blast to watch the cast work on their toes!

Especially when they are playing such heartwarming characters.”

The “highly talented” nine-person cast welcomes back Kristin Galer as Rona Lisa Peretti, Piper Goodeve as Olive Ostrovsky and Alison MacDonald as Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre.

The Playhouse welcomes the debut performances of Kushnir, Benjamin Kyte as William Barfée, Michael-Lamont Lytle as Mitch Mahoney, Eric Morin as Chip Tolentino, Nicole Norsworthy as Marcy Park, and Spencer-Davis.

Shoal Sisters offers bright new fundraising program for TIA

By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - Jayne Curtis and her crew got out all the fixings for an old-fashioned shore breakfast, and the Thousand Islands Association (TIA) got its 2013 AGM going in fine style at the Springer Theatre in Gananoque recently.

A highlight of the event was a brand new fundraising program called Shoal Sisters.

The Shoal Sisters posters feature photographs of women of all ages, gowned in white and carrying lanterns, standing on different shoals in the Thousand Islands, lighting the way and protecting all boaters from dangers in navigation. The hope is to produce a calendar next year featuring beautiful colour photographs of the ladies and their shoals.

All proceeds from sales of the posters and potential calendar go to continue the many works funded by TIA. Posters start at $40 apiece, with all money raised goes toward the Shoal Markers Fund. For more information on the Shoal Sisters program, please go to http://www.lovethisriver.com/.

TIA is proud to announce it has 50 new members, and is hoping for even more in the upcoming year.

All the usual guests were there, with MP Gord Brown and MPP Steve Clark of Leeds-Grenville and Mayor Frank Kinsella of TLTI. The Clayton Fire and Rescue team had brought their fireboat in, and representatives came down from Brockville to share news about both the Aquatarium and Shoal Sisters, a brand new program to call attention to Photo by LORRAINE PAYETTE TIA and all the fine work it does providing shoal Bryan Jones accepts his tee shirt from David Orr of Thousand Islands Association for purmarkers throughout the Thousand Islands.

“I know what good work the Thousand Islands chasing a shoal at the Thousand Islands Association’s AGM and annual shore breakfast Association does,” said MP Brown. “I have the held on July 27 at the Springer Theatre in Gananoque. honour and pleasure of living right on the River in Gananoque along the Parkway, and I’m out on the water a lot. I know that those shoal markers definitely make sure that everyone stays safe, especially after having a little incident when I was a kid. Everyone should be very happy they’re out there.”

“I want to congratulate the Association for the work that they do with the shoal markers and also with our fire agencies,” said MPP Clark. “I know that Chief Bennett is very appreciative of all the cooperation and the advocacy that you have for the cause.”

“This association serves both sides of the border,” said Mayor Kinsella. “It’s an international organization. We now have the Great Lakes Protection Act in Ontario. It’s a bill introduced in the Ontario legislature in June, 2012, and is very important to our area. I’ve been to meetings where we’ve talked about the environment and effluent coming out of some of the waste sites. It all passes by through here, and I’ve been advocating for water quality control. I belong to the Great Lakes Association, but there are only seven of us and we can’t do everything. So we need associations like TIA to nominate someone that’s really passionate to come in and participate with us.”

Kinsella went on to say that he hoped the associations could work together for the protection of the area, not just with shoal markers but by keeping the water pure and usable for generations well into the future. The township donated $2,500 to TIA in the spring when they needed help, and the money has been put to good use by the Association.

Vanessa Latimer and David Orr of TIA officially thanked Mayor Kinsella for the assistance.

A new fundraiser for this year is the “Own Your Own Shoal Marker” program, which is doing very well. For a $500 contribution, you will have a shoal named after you, and will receive a tax receipt.

Declaring this to be the best turn out they have ever had at TIA, Orm Murphy of the organization was happy to introduce this year’s guest speakers, Doug McLellan and Lyne Roberge, from the McLellan group. They spoke not only about the great attractions to be afforded at the upcoming Aquatarium in Brockville, but about the brand new fund raising program called Shoal Sisters, as mentioned above.

EMC News - Ontario police services will be ensuring that Ontarians can enjoy licenced establishments across the province this summer by participating in the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (OACP) Community Alcohol Safety and Enforcement Program (C.A.S.E.).

This program from Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police leaders aims at creating heightened public awareness of public safety issues involved in Liquor Licence Act licence inspections/enforcement and licensee understanding about the roles and responsibilities involved in the sale, service, and consumption of alcohol in licenced establishments.

The OACP and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) unveiled this province-wide liquor licence inspection/ enforcement program last summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The summer weather invites all Ontarians to enjoy the many great licenced establishments in communities across Ontario. Ensuring licenced establishments operate in a legal and safe manner creates safe environments and promotes community safety,â&#x20AC;? said Inspector Howie Page (Toronto Police Service), Chair of the OACP Alcohol and Gaming Committee.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR COPS urges citizens to become informed DEAR EDITOR: The COPS committee (Citizens Offering Police Support) urges citizens of Brockville to become informed about the very real possibility of losing our local municipal police force. Once the Brockville Police Service is gone there is no going back. Not only would we lose 23 civilian jobs, but the local knowledge and volunteerism of the members of the Brockville Police Service.

The mayor and council have proceeded with a costing to compare OPP costs versus the current city police service. Our committee supports any wise financial investigation, but we really hope that

all financial discussions include an equal “apples to apples” list of parameters. In other words, would we still get all of our current services under an OPP rule?

We of the COPS committee have studied the experiences of other municipalities that have gone through this process. In most cases, cities are appalled to discover that they have lost their voice at the policing table, that they have lost their local police presence and that, worst of all, a 911 call is answered by a remote service.

See LETTER page 9

EMC Editorial – It seems as though there are many dangers lurking around every corner for those who enjoy the great outdoors this summer. We’re urged to take cover from the sun, beware of brushing against poison parsnip and also to protect ourselves from those dreaded mosquito bites.

But there’s one more little bug we should be on alert for: the black-legged tick.

Also known as a deer tick, these critters reside in bushes and tall grass, waiting to attach themselves to a person or animal’s skin. It’s often hard to notice when one has been bit by a tick as the bites are normally painless. In fact, according to the Ontario Ministry of health and Long-Term Care, those who have been infected may not notice the rash (in the shape of a bull’s eye) for up to 55 days after.

While tick bites don’t normally hurt, those bugs could be exposing us to Lyme disease, a serious and sometimes fatal illness. This disease takes on similar symptoms as the flu, causing headaches, fatigue, joint and muscle pain. If caught early, the disease is easily treated.

Not all ticks carry Lyme disease, but the ones that do have been detected in Ontario, including along the shores of the St. Lawrence River.

However, the risk of Lyme disease doesn’t mean you have to spend the summer inside. By following a few tips, including avoiding shrubs and areas with tall grass; wearing bug repellent containing DEET; covering up in areas known to have ticks; as well as donning white or lightcoloured clothing to spot the ticks, you can ensure you are protecting yourself and your family from the nasty bites.

To find out more on how to protect yourself, visit www. ontario.ca/lyme.

Thunderstorm proved how generous people could really be EMC Lifestyles - Thunderstorms in the country terrified Mother. Sadly, that fear was passed on to me. We crouched in corners, but never on an outside wall, and always away from the telephone that hung on the kitchen wall. If it was a really horrific storm, I often took to hiding under a bed.

Storms that struck through the night were especially frightening. The lightning lit up the entire countryside, and in the blackness of the night, rolling thunder roared, sounding like a gigantic train careening through our fields.

It was not unusual for Mother to get all of us children out of our beds in the dead of night at the first sound of thunder or a flash of lightning. Father of course, slept through the entire storm. Seeing Mother sitting on a chair, away from any window, the coal oil lamp lit on the bake table by the back door, did little to put my mind at ease. She sat with her purse clutched tightly in her arms, ready to make a dash outside should our old log house be struck by lightning. Where we would run to, I had no idea!

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

The very thought of going outside into the raging storm was almost as frightening as shaking like a leaf inside, waiting for what I was sure was a fiery end to our lives.

Mother constantly compared country storms with those she remembered from New York. With the heavy sounds of the city, storms there passed almost unnoticed. And the day lightning hit the pole that held our clothes line and followed it to the end pole, Mother nearly collapsed.

My sister Audrey, whom I thought took storms much too lightly, said we should be grateful that the clothes line was free standing and not attached to the corner of the house! I knew what she meant.

And then one summer day, when we had gone through a particularly long dry spell, the sky in the west darkened and far off in the distance we could hear the rumble of thunder. We had finished our noon meal, and by the time we had redded up the kitchen, the storm was upon us. Father said he would just sit a spell.

“No use going out in that rain,” he said, as he settled down in the rocking chair with the latest copy of the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

“How can you sit there and read with that storm raging outside?” Mother wanted to know. Father never took his eyes off the paper. My brothers had absolutely no fear in a storm. In fact, it wasn’t unusual for them to stand at the kitchen window and watch the lightning streak out of the black clouds.

Mother had settled in a chair against the inside wall between the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom, Audrey, busied herself with her embroidery work, and I was on a chair inches from Mother.

The whole house shook with every clap of thunder, and the storm seemed to

hover right overhead for a very long time.

I prayed it would soon go away, and follow the Bonnechere to another part of the valley.

“Oh my God,” Emerson yelled. Everett yelled for Father to come quickly to the window looking out towards the west hill.

Earl, the most timid of the three began to cry. I knew something terrible had happened.

Father jumped from the rocker and ran to the west window; cautiously, Mother, Audrey and I followed. “The lightning,” Emerson stammered.

“It hit the big maple on the hill,” Everett said. And underneath the tree, where 11 of our Holstein cows had gone for shelter, we saw what had happened. They looked like they had laid themselves down to rest in the summer heat. But I knew without asking what had happened. The cows were dead… killed by a lightning bolt that had struck the maple.

I saw the stark horror on Father’s face, and Mother’s tear streaked cheeks, and I knew without a doubt that we would never recover the loss.

What I saw next, once the storm had blown itself out, was Father and the brothers, walking behind the team of horses, pulling the double whiffle tree and heading to the west hill. One by one the dead Holsteins were dragged to the gravel pit and buried.

The news of our loss spread quickly through the community of Northcote. Father said it could have been worse. Our young heifers were in the enclosure close to the barn, and two cows, for their own reasons had decided to stay at the bottom of the hill.

And as always happened when tragedy struck in our farm community, one by one, neighbours responded. I saw them walking down our long lane leading a heifer or a cow over to our farm almost completely replacing our loss with a simple shake of a hand and a few words. That’s how things were done in the ’30s.

As well as our terrible loss, the lightning strike only confirmed in Mother’s mind that storms were not to be taken lightly, but treated as the real danger they could be, and sadly sometimes were.

Rare Voyageur Brigade visiting Seeley’s Bay EMC Events - Wednesday, Aug. 7 offers a great chance for people to get up close to a rare expedition of the national Voyageur Brigade Society which will be stopping overnight in Seeley’s Bay, en route between Kingston and Ottawa. About 75 participants are expected to be in the expedition, paddling a fleet of traditional large ‘canot du nord’. A welcoming ceremony will be held at approximately 3:30 p.m., at the village’s paddling station off Haskin’s Point Road.

The voyageurs will arrive dressed in traditional garb, a few muskets may be fired, Leeds and the Thousand Islands Mayor Frank Kinsella will extend official greetings, and a

bagpiper will be on hand to add to the splendour of the ceremony. Members of the public are encouraged to come and join the paddlers as they round Haskin’s Point, or watch from shore, and join the festivities to help to welcome these unique visitors to the region. After the ceremony, spectators will be invited to give the big canoes a try, and go for a short paddle around the bay.

“We are thrilled and honoured to receive this expedition in our community” said Kinsella.

This brigade is a test run for a larger group that is expected to repeat the Rideau route in 2017. The Brigade Society is working with other partners in an effort to get 1,000 canoes

were exchanged for furs. They then transported the furs back to Hudson Bay Company headquarters near Montreal, and later also to points on the route to Hudson Bay. Some voyageurs stayed in the back country over the winter and transported the trade goods from the posts to farther-away French outposts. They also helped negotiate trade in native villages.

In the spring they would carry furs from these remote outposts back to the rendezvous posts. Voyageurs also served as guides for explorers. Their impact on the opening up and development of Canada cannot be overstated.

Computer users warned to steer clear of ‘Scareware’ EMC News - The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) has learned that its name is being used in a computer scam. Individuals report a frozen computer, or they have been locked-out of their computers, after receiving pop-up messages warning that the computer has been associated with pornography. Likewise, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Servicer (CSIS) has been the subject of similar complaints.

As per RCMP instructions (http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ scams-fraudes/scareware-eng.htm) these warning messages claim to be from the CACP and tell the recipient to pay a “fine” so the computer can be “unlocked.” The message also claims that if the “fine” is not paid within 72 hours, criminal proceedings will commence against the user.

“These types of messages, commonly known as “scareware”, are designed to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly,” states the RCMP. If you receive one of these messages please be aware that it is a scam and has not been issued by the CACP. Do not pay the $100 “fine”. Being “locked out” of your computer is an indication that your system may have been infected with malware and you will need to take steps to address that problem.

The RCMP offers the following tips to help keep your computer protected: • never click on a pop-up that claims your computer has a virus; • update your anti-virus software often and scan your computer for viruses regularly; • do not click on links or attachments in e-mails sent to you by someone you don’t know; • turn on your browser’s pop-up blocking feature; • never download anti-virus software from a pop-up link sent to you in an e-mail.

ORAL VS. WRITTEN HEARINGS There are two types of OEB hearings – oral and written. The Board intends to hold an oral hearing on this matter.

PRIVACY If you write a letter of comment or sign up to observe the hearing, your name and the content of your letter or the documents you file with the OEB will be put on the public record and the OEB website. However, your personal telephone number, home address and email address will be removed. If you are a business, all your information will remain public.

Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament receives $10,000 donation EMC News - A donation of $10,000 from Joe and Mike Jordan and their families to the Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament marks the addition of a new Platinum Sponsor to the highly successful fundraiser that will mark 20 years this year.

Jordan, a former MP for the region, recently presented tournament committee co-chairs Dave Publow and Jim Cooper with a cheque on behalf of himself, his wife Debbie and his brother Mike.

Although Jordan had played periodically at the tournament over the years and supported palliative care with the annual telethon, this was the first time for a direct donation to the tournament.

“My father used the local palliative care services last year,” explains Jordan, “so as a family, we had first-hand experience with this invaluable service.

It is a tremendous local resource, and phenomenal to see the care and support given. We thought that we should support this great cause.”

The 20th annual Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament is set for Aug. 28. Funds raised go to support the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service based at Brockville General Hospital – a community-based service that is largely unfunded and dependent upon the generosity of individuals, groups, businesses and fundraisers such as the tournament.

“This is another great experience of ‘Friends helping Friends’,” says co-chair Jim Cooper. “Joe, Debbie and Mike have joined many community leaders in ensuring the future of local palliative care.

Dave and I are very pleased they are supporting our palliative care event with their generosity.”

“We encourage others to support the tournament and palliative care,” says Jordan. “It is a tremendous cause to provide this service, a service,” he adds, Submitted photo “that when needed we would wonder how to do Joe Jordan (centre) presents a cheque for $10,000 to Friends of Palliative Care Committee without.”

TLTI hosts information sessions to discuss planning, development EMC Business – On July 10, the Planning and Development Department of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands hosted public information sessions to discuss planning and development processes and opportunities within the township.

The meeting was attended by realtors, contractors/developers, entrepreneurs and homeowners. Topics covered included an overview of different planning applications, the building permit approval process, the importance of economic growth, working with realtors, developers and entrepreneurs with respect to advertising available land, buildings and other facilities within the township and assisting with business start-up, expansion and re-location plans.

“Events such as these show our commitment to enhancing communication with our stake holders. Feedback received at these events is critical in understanding the needs and concerns of our community,” stated the township’s new Chief Administrative Officer Milena Avramovic. “I am impressed at staff’s initiative in

hosting this event and hope to build on our communications as we move forward.”

Items raised for future consideration included the desire for a communication plan to better advertise the departments services, the need to reexamine the development vision within the township and providing tools to help realtors market the township. These items will be considered by staff and council in policy development and administration, particularly in the economic development strategic plan and in official plan and zoning by-law updates. “Hosting such information sharing events is a sign that the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands is open for business,” stated Mayor Frank Kinsella in a press release. “We want to make the development process as simple as possible and we want to be there to support economic development.”

The Planning and Development Department processes approximately 75 planning applications per year, including applications for minor variance, zoning by-law amendment, site plan control and land severance.

ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, August 1, 2013 11

An open letter to all Canadians Bell Canada is taking the unusual step of writing to all Canadians today. As the nation’s longest-serving telecommunications company, established shortly after Confederation in 1880, we would like to ensure Canadians clearly understand a critical situation impacting their world-leading wireless industry.

Verizon Communications, a $120-billion US telecommunications giant with 100 million wireless customers, is considering entering the Canadian market. A company of this scale certainly doesn’t need handouts from Canadians or special regulatory advantages over Canadian companies. But that is exactly what they get in the new federal wireless regulations.

Bell welcomes any competitor, but they should compete on a level playing field. Fair competition is something Canadians demand and something Bell expects too after 133 years of investment in delivering world-class communications services to Canadians.

Unintended advantages for American giants: How we got here The federal government has recently taken an activist role in regulating Canada’s wireless industry. That includes giving various benefits to small startup wireless competitors. With Ottawa’s help, the new companies have become part of the vigorously competitive Canadian wireless marketplace.

But the government inadvertently left holes in the wireless rules that would give big US corporations the same extraordinary advantages as the small startups. And all Canadians are on the hook to pay.

Verizon has said it’s looking at taking advantage of this unique opportunity. We do not believe a US company 4x the size of Canada’s entire wireless industry combined requires special help from Canada. It’s profoundly unfair to all Canadians, and Ottawa needs to close the loopholes.

3 loopholes in the rules Under federal regulations originally designed for startup competitors, Verizon would actually get these benefits…

1. Verizon would be able to buy twice as much of Canada’s airwaves as Canadian companies like Bell can in an upcoming auction of wireless spectrum – the airwaves that carry your calls and data.

These airwaves are a public resource, and access to them is critical to providing you with world-leading wireless services. When Ottawa auctions off Canada’s airwaves for use by telecommunications companies, it gets significant revenues. These are public funds.

It is inappropriate for our own government to essentially reserve a public resource for a company like Verizon to the detriment of Canadian companies. In doing so, the government will also reduce federal auction revenue significantly – by potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. A loophole that gives US companies access to twice as much of our airwaves and at a lower cost is an unfair advantage, paid for by Canadians.

2. They get to piggyback on the networks of Canadian carriers wherever they don’t want to invest and build their own.

Under the rules, Verizon would have the right to offer wireless service using the advanced networks funded by Canadian companies and built by Canadian workers. Industry experts say a Verizon wouldn’t need to build its own network throughout Canada, invest in Canada’s rural communities, or support Canadian jobs like Canadian wireless companies do. Instead, they would concentrate on a few big urban centres, forcing Canadian carriers to do the same while potentially cutting jobs and slashing costs in order to compete.

3. Verizon can acquire smaller Canadian competitors – but Bell and other Canadian wireless companies can’t even try.

American players like Verizon can buy up new Canadian wireless companies like Wind Mobile and Mobilicity at cut-rate prices – including their existing spectrum holdings previously subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. Yet Canadian carriers like Bell are restricted from competing to acquire these Canadian startups, even if the new companies want it to happen. That means Verizon gets them for below-market value.

What did Ottawa get from the United States in return for this unprecedented access to Canada? Nothing. No reciprocity in the US for Canadian companies. In fact, can you even imagine Canadian wireless companies getting preferred access to New York, Los Angeles or Chicago?

3 straightforward ways to close the loopholes The Bell team is ready to compete with anyone for your business on a level playing field. But big US companies taking advantage of rules designed to help Canadian startups is just not on the level.

To get wireless policy back on track, we propose that…

1. Canadian wireless carriers should be able to bid for the same amount of Canada’s airwaves as Americans can.

2. US operators entering Canada should roll out wireless service across the country, just as Canadian companies have.

3. If a small Canadian wireless company seeks a buyer, Canadian carriers should be allowed to bid, just as the Americans can.

US giants don’t need special help from the Canadian government, and Canadians shouldn’t have to pay their way into the country.

Instead, let’s give Canada’s own communications companies a fair chance to compete with them.

Sincerely,

George Cope, President and CEO, Bell Canada and BCE

12 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, August 1, 2013

We’re not the only ones concerned “Why would Ottawa create a policy environment that favours a U.S. telecom giant and deliberately trashes the shareholders of the major Canadian wireless players?”

Terence Corcoran, Financial Post, June 27, 2013

“But there is no basis for the Commission to give certain large companies a regulatory hand-out… so they can acquire spectrum… at a substantial discount over the price that would otherwise be received.”

Verizon, Regulatory filing to the FCC on U.S. Incentive Auctions, March 12, 2013

“In fact a report published last week commissioned by the CRTC suggested a similar conclusion (that wireless prices have come down meaningfully since 2008) – so we’re not entirely sure where Industry Canada is getting its data about the market not being competitive. Then again, the government wouldn’t let a little data get in the way of a good lever for getting votes, and that’s clearly what is going on here.”

Bob Bek, CIBC World Markets, July 12, 2013

“The perception that Canadian prices are high relative to other jurisdictions has been seized upon by the government as an invitation to intervene and deliver lower prices. But the perception is false and the invitation is illogical.”

Dr. Jeffrey Church and Andrew Wilkins of the University of Calgary, The Globe and Mail, July 8, 2013

“…the federal government’s anything-goes market interventions to support a fourth carrier have so gerrymandered the rules to favour Verizon sweeping in that any investor seriously interested in buying shares in Canadian telecom companies should be spooked.”

Sean Silcoff, The Globe and Mail, June 27, 2013

“This will mean significant layoffs which could easily trump the hiring to be done

by Verizon, which besides a needed presence in retail outlets, should be able to initially handle a lot of functions (marketing, billing) from the United States.”

Adam Shine, National Bank Financial, June 26, 2013

“Unlike the national incumbents in Canada, we wonder if Verizon has a strategy for wireless broadband in rural markets, a key political consideration for the current Conservative Government.”

Dvai Ghose, Canaccord Genuity, July 2, 2013

EMC News - Sharon Jordan, Broker, Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty and PFLAG Canada Brockville are thrilled to announce that the 2013 Sharon Jordan/PFLAG Canada Brockville Rainbow Award has been awarded to two Brockville elementary students and five Brockville high school students.

The award was established by Jordan to recognize students for their efforts in embracing the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ) community by working towards ending discrimination in their school and/or the City of Brockville.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary winners Doch Dendy and Emily Foan, from BCI, have each been awarded $50 for their PowerPoint presentation on challenging homophobia and promoting inclusion for all students in their school.

For Dendy, supporting the LGBTQ community is important because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone deserves equal rights and everyone deserves to be welcomed and accepted by their community as well as being encouraged to show who they really are.â&#x20AC;? Foan also echoes Dendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiments and believes that it is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;important to accept people of all races, all religious views, all skin colours and every sexuality.â&#x20AC;?

Brandon Timmerman, one of the five high school winners of $250, for his contributions to such monumental endeavors as the creation of Brockville Pride believes that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Sharon Jordan/PFLAG Canada Rainbow award is important for youth in general because it recognizes youth for their accomplishments and it proves to older generations that youth are making changes in their society and that while we are not asking for anything in return, it is nice to be recognized for what we do.â&#x20AC;?

For Jordan, the creation of the Sharon Jordan/PFLAG Canada Brockville award is a means to recognize students who challenge stereotypes and who seek to make their schools and communities safer and more inclusive spaces for all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world is full of fear, negativity and judgment,â&#x20AC;? states Jordan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is time that we made a shift towards open minds, positivity and compassion. Each of the recipients of this award embodies those qualities and we are proud that they will be catalysts for change.â&#x20AC;?

PFLAG Canada Brockville is part of a national organization that supports members of the LGBTQ community, their friends, families and allies and provides education and resources for the community at large.

A trusted name for over 24 years!

EMC Entertainment - Gananoque artist Pat Butchart is out to make life a better place, and she’s inviting the whole world in on her mission. Using her inimitable style of painting, she’s bent on bringing hope and happiness to all, one brush stroke at a time.

Bright splashes of colour swirl, mix and blend before settling to form the framed images she has generously put on display at the Socialist Pig, located at 21 King St. E. in Gananoque. The show, which started on July 4, will come to an end on Aug. 6.

“I can’t draw,” Butchart says. In fact, when she tried following the rules in her art classes, it was like caging her spirit.

Copying the work of former artists or even working from life and nature just wasn’t for her.

“It didn’t feel right. But when I do this, my spirit feels free to soar!”

And soar it does. Unlike traditional painting where the artist sets up the form, lays out the palette to establish colour, and determines in advance what will appear on the canvas, Butchart lets the medium take control. She pours and drips, brushes and scrubs, lays down and takes off colour in wild abandon until the surface is exactly what she wants.

Colours run and flow, mix and blend to create a surface filled with depth and illusion. Then she gets out her chalk and sketches over them, picking up the lines and shadows, and defining what is “already there”.

“It’s like when you were a child and lay on the hillside to watch the clouds.

Do you remember the pictures you’d see? That’s what I find in the paint.”

While Butchart will tell you that all of her work is an expression of her self, you feel her spirituality when you speak to her. At no times overwhelming or off putting, it is instead a sense of joy and wonder that passes through her to flow out into the work.

Butchart turned 70 this month, and this show and sale are a celebration of life. On July 8, she held a “Meet the Artist” night at the Socialist Pig. “The art work looks great,” she said of the display. “I quickly sold one of the paintings, ‘The Lady or the Moun-

tain’. It was one where I was actually doing a landscape using tissue to create the mountains – trying to get away from the faces. But the Universe knew better.

I grabbed for a jar of what I thought was white paint, but it turned out to be Gesso - and of course - the Gesso started to tear the tissue paper, so - frantically - I got my fingers in to the rescue to smooth out the tissue paper and to save the mountains. And of course, what do I see once

Brockville family welcomes director from Kenya orphanage

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – On Saturday, Aug. 24, Anne Chege, co-director (with her husband) of New Hope Children’s Centre in Uplands, Nairobi, Kenya will be met at the airport by William (Willy) Primeau’s family, who has become the Canadian contact for the Centre.

Chege’s purpose for being here is to tell her heartfelt story about the children her family has cared for and continues to do.

Both Anne and her husband were employed by the Bank of Baroda and Barclays and have always been passionate about helping children to attain their full potential.

While bringing up their four children, they often opened their door to orphans and destitute youth.

In April 2000, the Cheges become directors of the New Hope Children’s Centre, a registered children’s home to give orphaned children a path out of poverty and ignorance by providing hope for a better future.

“We admit destitute orphan children without a home, or who are living with guardians who are unable to take care of them due to extreme poverty or physical disability,” said Chege. “However, dire cases of poverty may also be considered.”

According to Primeau this will be Chege’s first visit to Canada.

“She has won international awards for her work with the children in the Orphanage,” stated Primeau. “Once a year, Anne visits Friends of New Hope in the UK (United Kingdom) and the United States; now Canada will be the third country.”

Knights of New Hope, Canadian contact Willy Primeau holds a photo of co-director Anne Chege of the New Hope Children’s Centre in Uplands, Nairobi, Kenya with orphans, who will arrive in Brockville on Saturday, Aug. 24 until the beginning of October. To book a speaking engagement contact Primeau at 613-342-1362.

Along with the orphanage, there’s also outreach in the surrounding regions.

“It’s not just the children in the orphanage, they do a huge outreach in the central region of Kenya,” added Primeau. “They help a lot of poor families.

They are on their third or fourth village.

They are taking people out of homes made of mud and sticks or garbage bags and sticks, whatever they can use to shelter themselves from the weather.

They move them into three room stone homes with a poured floor and supply a cow. The cow provides milk and is a source of income for the family.”

The reason for the visit to Canada is to promote the orphanage and outreach.

In order for Chege to do this she visits international countries in hope of their support for her vision of this region moving forward towards self-sustainability.

“Anne knows that she has to show that things are changing and they are moving forward,” indicated Primeau.

Right now New Hope Children’s Centre offers the basic necessities in life; food, shelter, clothing and education (up to high school).

For those individuals wishing to pursue further education, it is subject to the availability of funds.

The objectives of New Hope Children’s Centre are to take care of orphans, bring them up through the Christian faith, helping them to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. To promote self-reliance in the child by providing training and experiences that will help them excel in life and to build the child’s

social responsibility so that they may give back to the community to make the world a better place.

The last aim is to strive to become an independent and self-sustaining entity.

The orphanage does not get any government support,” said Primeau. “Anne has to promote the work that they do and she knows that she has to show that peoples’ lives are moving forward. What she wants to do is to consider the orphanage’s future, so she is trying to build an international network or base. It’s not just the orphanage, it is the outreach in central Kenya and that’s why I liked it and got involved. They are reaching out to families that need support.”

New Hope Children’s Centre There are anywhere from 140 to 150 children in the orphanage at any one time.

Children stay until they are 18 and then move on, but by that time they have learned some life skills as well as a trade or a continuation of their studies.

“They empower the children,” said Primeau. “You can do things better, you can make Kenya better and your life better. You can go to school, but you have to work hard.”

As Primeau pointed out, they try to instil the sense of a good work ethic.

“They have children that were taught to pick-pockets,” added Primeau, “and everything in between there, like abuse at home.”

The orphanage has a pre-school on the premises with the older children travelling as much as two to three hours to go to school.

“They wanted to build their own high school but the government said ‘no’, as they felt the children would not get a chance to leave the orphanage and integrate with other children,” said Primeau.

“There are a lot of government regulations, but no funding.”

Families in Kenya have to pay to have their children attend school which many cannot afford.

To help to raise funds for the orphanage, a DVD was made by a foreigner as a donation, of the Orphanage Choir music, which they sell.

Training and Business Centre The centre has women that come in each day to sew carry bags/purses, shirts, clothes, wraps, cards, jewellery and other crafts.

These women are paid for their work which helps support their family.

For the last few years when Primeau has visited New Hope Children’s Centre, he has brought back these unique items to sell to help the Orphanage.

Bakery and garden The Orphanage depends highly on the produce from their garden as well as the newly built bakery which supplies all their bread. Within two years of building the bakery, an addition was put on.

Future orphanage projects A room has been designed as the computer room, but there has not been enough funding to buy new computers.

In the future they are hoping to have See ORPHANAGE page 18

Brett Kissel hits Joshua Bates Centre stage Sept. 12 Elizabethtown-Kitley Cultural Mapping project under way

EMC Events - The first show of the 2013-2014 Joshua Bates Performing Arts season will take place on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. Renowned Canadian country singer, Brett Kissel will be returning for the third time to the stage of the Joshua Bates Centre in Athens.

Kissel is one of the most successful independent recording artists in Canada. His previous two albums sold over 60,000 copies directly from the stage and his latest album, Started With a Song, has been highly anticipated by fans and the music industry alike. The debut single release of Started With a Song has hit the country music world with a bang being the most added track in Canadian Country Music’s history surpassing a record set by Taylor Swift.

Each song is a slice of real-life sentiment, emotional touchstones that run the gamut of highs and lows such as love, trying moments and poignant reflection, measured out by good times

and a sense that something special is happening here.

When you listen to Kissel sing about tradition, hard work, tough times and

tough people, you’re not just hearing songs about the country; you’re hearing songs from the country.

His song and video, Hockey Please Come Back, received national airplay and interviews during the recent NHL lockout including Kelly Hrudey, Hockey Night in Canada radio show.

Kissel is an avid hockey fan and a fifth generation Alberta rancher. He has earned two Canadian Country Music Association Awards Rising Star nominations, becoming its youngest nominee ever.

Influenced by the likes of Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Buck Owens and George Strait, Kissel is still very much his own man: a dynamic, charismatic performer, singer, and songwriter and ready to make an imposing impression on the global country music scene.

Tickets are available from Debbie (613-924-2056), Mary Rae (613-345-3032) or from Athens Municipal Office (613-924-2044).

lage. There are people that will cook and make sure they are taken care of.”

Grandmother’s Village was started when Chege was approached by a grandmother who has land. She wanted Chege to build houses on the land to help families. Twelve houses were constructed on this one acre plot with each house having three rooms, a separate kitchen and a water tank for catching rain water.

These village women are all grandmothers raising their grandchildren.

While Anne Chege is in Canada she is willing to make presentations about New Hope Orphanage Centre and their outreach projects to groups, service clubs, schools and churches.

Communication with Knights of New Hope, Canadian contact Willy Primeau at willyprimeau@hotmail.com or call 613-342-1362 as well as log onto Facebook.com/knightsofnewhope or Facebook.com/newhopemarketplace to set up a speaking engagement.

EMC News - Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley Committee is pleased to announce that it has begun a Cultural Mapping Project of the municipality.

Made possible by a provincial grant from the Creative Communities Prosperity Fund (CCPF) and support from the Township, the project will help identify and map the community’s cultural assets for the purpose of building community, attracting visitors and encouraging economic opportunities in the area. The funding has enabled the committee to hire Lynne Clifford-Ward for six months to lead the Cultural Mapping Project and they consider it a positive step into the Township’s future.

Culture can be described as “who we are and what we do”. Cultural Mapping is a systematic process of identifying the community’s cultural resources and strengths. A community’s Cultural Vitality enhances the Quality of Life and Quality of Place and is one of the four pillars of sustainability which includes Environmental Sustainability, Economic Prosperity and Social Equity.

Cultural Resources can be divided into six different themes, including Cultural Heritage; Natural Heritage; Community Cultural Organizations; Cultural Spaces and Facilities; Creative Cultural Industries, and Festivals and Events. (For a more comprehensive list, please refer to the brochure or on-line.)

Tracy Gayda, Chairperson, and the

2 DAYS ONLY!

Respondents information can be provided on-line, by e-mail, by post and/or by attending workshops. (The time and locations of workshops will be announced soon.) Once the information is gathered, it will be assembled into a cultural inventory, plotted onto a Township map and made available to the public in early 2014.

The Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley Committee looks forward to hearing from you and values your contribution to this community building project.

This information, once compiled, will help locate and describe the Township’s cultural assets and contribute to making Elizabethtown-Kitley a great place to live and work, now and in the future.

The Cultural Mapping Form is available on the Township website, www.

Elizabethtown-Kitley.on.ca.

Your e-lists can be sent to mail@elizabethtown-kitley.on.ca, with “Cultural Map List” on the subject line. Brochures can be picked up at Township offices in New Dublin or Toledo, and other public locations.

20 ST. LAWRENCE EMC - Thursday, August 1, 2013

MOVIE: The Wolverine STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen and Hal Yamanouchi DIRECTOR: James Mangold RATING: PG EMC Entertainment - The Wolverine is exactly how you do a movie about Wolverine. Exactly.

After being forced to kill Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) Logan (Hugh Jackman) has gone into seclusion. He’s turned away from the world vowing to never hurt anyone again. Then again, it doesn’t matter if you turn away from the world because the world sometimes comes looking for you.

Logan’s past comes for him in the form of a young woman named Yukio (Rila Fukushima). She has come on behalf of her adoptive grandfather, Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), who’s dying and wishes to say goodbye to the man who once saved him. Somewhat reluctantly Logan agrees to fly to Japan and meet with the old man.

During World War II Logan was a prisoner just outside Nagasaki when events led to him saving a young Japanese officer just as the bomb was dropped. Now Yashida wants to repay Logan by giving him the one thing he thinks Logan wants; his mortality. Yashida wants to transfer Logan’s amazing healing ability into himself thus extending his own life and allowing Logan to live a normal one.

Logan turns down Yashida’s offer, but it appears not to matter as the old man passes soon after, and Logan prepares to go home. Then at the funeral the Yakuza make an attempt to kill Yashida’s granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto), and Logan is right in the thick of it again. Logan jumps into the fray, but something isn’t right. His wounds

aren’t healing. He still manages to save Mariko, but Logan needs to find out what’s really going on if he and Mariko are going to survive.

The Wolverine does everything right. It is full of action and violence with just a hint of romance and sadness, and a few sparsely but well placed oneliners. Mangold does a brilliant job of bringing the comic book action to life in larger-than-life sequences that are only possible in a world with superheroes. He also balances the action with a story that truly highlights this often times tragic hero. This film really captures what this character is about.

No one else is ever going to be able to take on this role. Hugh Jackman has made Wolverine all his own. He’s nailed the look, the delivery, the swagger, and the penchant for violence. He’s also nailed the sadness, the grief and the nobility.

While I wasn’t very familiar with most of the cast I was impressed by them. Tao Okamoto falls into the role of Mariko with extreme grace. Rila Fukushima is perfect as Logan’s sidekick Yukio.

Viper Svetlana Khodchenkova exudes both venom and evil. Hal Yamanouchi is fantastic as Yashida.

Of course the big treat for me was seeing Famke Jannsen return as Jean Grey. It may have only been in Logan’s dreams, but she was still great.

one of the best dressed and always wore his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;glad ragsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Of course, due to the illegal liquor trade, gangsters had â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heavy sugarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

World War 1 had just ended and everyone was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;putting on the ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Life was the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;berriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And even though the sale of alcohol was illegal, consuming it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and no one wanted to drink â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noodle juiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. So the back alley â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;speakeasiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; were doing a thriving business.

Rockport wants to take you back to the Roaring Twenties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Jazz Age at their outdoor â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;speakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Zeldaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on Friday night with the zoot-suited, seven piece Brian Downey Band playing tunes of the Twenties. Join us at Cornwallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point for the street dance right after the fashion show.

And this Prohibition festival is not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Drop a few â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Zeldaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speakeasyâ&#x20AC;Ś hopefully there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a raid by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pro Hiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;Śthen again you never know. So try not to get too â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;splifficatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or you may be arrested â&#x20AC;Ś or worse- miss out on the Twentiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities planned for all day Saturday.

Antique â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;struggle buggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a Rum Runnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Boating Challenge for local River Rats will give lots of opportunity for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beating oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gumsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

EMC Events - Get your zoot suit on or dress as a flapper and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Rockport this August. Rockport will be celebrating its culture and history in the days of Prohibition when River Rats ran rum and other illegal alcohol across the river to the thirsty Americans who â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sufferedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Prohibition seven years longer than Canada.

A vintage fashion show on Friday night will see flappers, gangsters and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mollsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and other personalities of the period â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strutting their stuffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Ladies, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;swan on inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in your elegant, lace-edged, or drop-waisted vintage dresses, or whirl on in in flapper fashion with beads and fringes bouncing. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dapper dandiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, too, may join the fashion show and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ankleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on down our catwalk to the Twentiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tunes as CafĂŠ Gananoque, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tickles the ivoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was the new woman of the age who wanted freedom from the constraints society and fashion had placed upon women. For the first time, women exposed some skin. Clothing was simplified, arms were bared, sometimes knees were rouged in case they were seen as a hemline flipped up on the dance floor. Flappers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to show off their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and they loved to dance all night.

In the words of a famous Roaring Twentiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; song, the flapper was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a highly energetic, undissuadable, magnetic, peripatetic, athletic kind of girl.â&#x20AC;?

She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succumb to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;applesauceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

She never had a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fire extinguisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and wanted no part of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handcuffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She could have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the bar because for the first time she was a liberated woman and that was the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bees kneesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Men of the era were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;brooksiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, especially the gangsters. Al Capone was

REAL ESTATE CONNECTION A WEEKLY GUIDE TO REAL ESTATE IN THE PRESCOTT, BROCKVILLE AND GANANOQUE AREAS

Going away on vacation? What to take care of at home first If you don’t end up opting for a house sitter, here are some tips to help keep your home safe and comfortable for your return: • Stop newspaper delivery and hold mail: Put a stop order on your newspaper and get Canada Post to hold your mail – they will hold it for two weeks or more and deliver once you return.

• Put away the spare key: The key under the flower pot may be convenient for you but it’s convenient for thieves too.

• Lights and blinds: Put timers on lights in different rooms of the home. The timers turn lights on and off at different times of the night to make it look like someone is home. Keep the blinds in normal position.

• Unplug electronics and major appliances: This saves electricity and protects your appliances from power surges.

• Turn off the main water supply: Shutting off the water will prevent potential leaks while away.

• Check the sump pump: If your

sump pump fails while you’re away and a major storm hits, you could return to a flooded lower level.

• Turn down the air conditioning: Set the thermostat ten degrees higher than you would normally, to avoid wasting energy.

“The real trick is proper planning. Make sure that you let a neighbour in on your plans, even if you do have someone coming to look after your house – this way they won’t be alarmed when they see a stranger coming in and out of your home,” says Dorner.

Remember, although your vacation plans are exciting, keep them to your friends and family and avoid calling attention to the fact that you will be going away – do not announce your plans on your blog or on social media sites like facebook and twitter.

Use your RRSP to help make the down payment on your first home

R0012235452_0801

EMC Business - For Canadians looking to purchase their first home this summer, one way to come up with a bigger down payment is to take advantage of the federal government’s Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP).

The HBP allows you to make a tax-free withdrawal of up to $25,000 from your RRSP. If your spouse qualifies, he or she may do the same, for a combined total of $50,000.

According to a BMO survey, the average amount first-time buyers plan to spend on their home purchase is approximately $300,000, with an average down payment amount of $48,000 (16 per cent).

“A bigger down payment can signifi-

cantly reduce the interest you’ll pay over the life of your mortgage. Also, with a down payment of at least 20 per cent, you avoid having to pay mortgage default insurance,” said Frances Hinojosa, Mortgage Expert, BMO Bank of Montreal.

“First-time home buyers should stress-test their mortgage against a higher interest rate to ensure they can manage a rise in costs as a result of a potential increase in interest rates down the road.”

EMC Business - Summer is in full swing and Ontarians are itching to get away from the hustle and bustle of the daily routine and take a well-deserved vacation.

Whether it’s a few days away at the cottage, a few weeks away visiting relatives or even a full month away with family or friends, there are some tasks that homeowners need to take care of before they pack up the car and hit the open road, says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

According to Dorner, “If you are leaving for an extended period, ask a friend or family member to house sit. This will give you some peace of mind, since thieves tend to target homes where it appears no one has been home for several days.”

“A house sitter can also collect your mail, look after your pets and make sure your plants are watered. If you are only leaving for a few days, have a neighbour keep an eye on your home and make sure that they are able to contact you, should any issues arise.”

Aboriginal Adventures! has lots more in store for August

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Already into August, Aboriginal Adventures! keeps going strong with a number of well-known performances yet to hit the Joel Stone Heritage Park stage in Gananoque.

A summer of celebration, education and entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Aboriginal Adventures! featured its grand opening June 26. Offering â&#x20AC;&#x153;interactive First Nations drumming, dancing, storytelling, artisans, campfire evenings and more,â&#x20AC;? the summer has seen one Mini Powwow (July 23 and 24), with another planned for Aug. 13 and 14. Showtimes from June to September are Wednesday to Saturday 2 p.m.; Campfire and Storytelling evenings are 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Sundays will feature entertainment at 2 p.m. only.

All of the activity takes place at the tiipii, and all acts are First Nations.

Some big name performers are heading to Gananoque as part of this initiative including world-renowned David R. Maracle. From Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, he has made a name as a Native stone sculptor and musician â&#x20AC;&#x201C; having won the Aboriginal Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Awards for Best Instrumental Album

2007 (worldwide), notes the Aboriginal Adventures Facebook page. Maracle has also played for the Queen for her Jubilee, and at the opening of the Olympic Games in Sydney, 2000.

The Facebook page explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aboriginal Adventures! â&#x20AC;Śis a tourist based attraction with the sole purpose of educating visitors about the beauty and reverence of the First People who lived in the area. It is fully understood that a tiipii is not indigenous to the St. Lawrence Valley but has become one of the most recognizable â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; structures, and in itself, is a testament to the enduring brilliance of sustainable housing and architectural design.â&#x20AC;?

Marilyn Paxton-Deline is the owner, First Nations Creations. Aboriginal Adventures is being presented in partnership with the First Nations Creations store. Bringing someone as well-known into Gananoque as Maracle, she notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is just a taste of things to come.â&#x20AC;?

She explains this summer of events was something she tried undertaking Photo by MARLA DOWDALL more than a decade ago. However the location was a problem, at the time it RedTail Singers perform, while in behind are the Strong Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drum as they dance around the men. The was closer to the border and it was also groups were at the Joel Stone Heritage Park amphitheatre, July 23 for Aboriginal Adventures! Mini PowSee ABORIGINAL page 26

wow (another was held July 24). The 18-foot tiipii, located in the park, is the hub of a centre of activities, with much more planned for August.

EMC Editorial - From last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second annual Summer Solstice Pride in the 1000 Islands Festival to the 1000 Islands Ribfest, earlier this month to the recent 1000 Islands Pirate Fest, which took place July 11 to 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wow! Gananoque has so much to offer.

Making a name for itself, locally, regionally, and on the world stage, the community is beautiful. Offering a summer of activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Aboriginal Adventures is located in Joel Stone Heritage Park. A gorgeous waterfront location which offers a spectacular view of the islands.

The gateway into the community proudly declares it is the gateway to the 1000 Islands, and the gateway to many different adventures. From Town Hall Park, and the lovely Gazebo, to the many charming downtown stores, there is so much to explore.

Much like Brockville and the charm and excitement it brought forward

Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?

EMC Lifestyle - The dog days of summer are upon us. The time when temperatures soar, humidity rises and with the new school year still weeks away, the period when many children are looking for things to do unless family vacation intervenes.

This is nothing new. Kids and summer go together like strawberries and ice cream. It was the same when I was a youngster. As the school year dragged on we longed for summer and the freedom to do what we wanted to do for a couple of months.

Growing up on the family farm near Stittsville summer didn’t exactly work out that way for my brother and two sisters. There was work to do, specifically helping with haying and doing the chores that are a daily reality on a farm.

Still, we managed to squeeze in some R&R and earlier in our youth, before my parents purchased the farm, we enjoyed the leisurely pursuits which, to this day, continue to be a part of every summer for school age children.

Kids who are too young to have a summer job or who don’t have home chores to do (a large number based on my observations) often find that the months of July and August can be excruciatingly boring. The allure of summer wears off quickly when you have nothing to do.

The differences between my youth and the world the children of today inhabit are considerable of course. But boredom is a universal issue and despite all of the electronic gadgetry of the new millennium, it is clear to me young people today also have trouble finding enough to keep them occupied during the “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.”

In my youth circumstances for children were very different. In the more gentle times of the 1950s and `60s the majority of kids were part of a traditional (nuclear) family. In most cases Dad worked every day to bring home the bacon. Mom was most likely a homemaker who, besides the considerable amount of work that goes with running a household seven days a week, was also the supervisor for her own children. When other Moms in the neighbourhood had commitments (appointments, shopping etc.) my mother would often mind the kids next door. Moms took turns so they could do what was necessary outside the home.

Today circumstances are very different. The nuclear family is much less prominent and the demands on single parents, who are becoming more and more common, are understandably increased. Those parents who are together are usually part of a dual income situation, something which is vital to pay the bills.

Depending on finances parents and guardians have options today. There are summer camps and other similar programs where they can enroll their children, for a price, and know they are in good hands while they’re working.

Lack of supervision What about those who can’t afford such opportunities however?

It is those children I will refer to in this article. So called “latch-key kids” are a modern reality which causes me concern. In many cases children, some of them very young, are being left to their own devices year-round while their parents or guardians are at work or out for the evening.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

I am a daily walker and that offers me a window into the human condition. This summer I have been seeing things firsthand that is very worrisome.

I realize you can’t protect people from themselves. On the other hand children under the age of consent should be properly supervised. They should also be receiving good advice when it comes to their personal safety.

I believe our community is a microcosm of centres across Ontario and Canada. Therefore the issues I will now refer to are problems in every community because parental/adult supervision is either lacking or non-existent.

This has been an incredibly wet summer and rivers and lakes across southern Ontario are at all-time highs. We have lived in Carleton Place for 37 years. In that time I can’t recall the Mississippi River being so high and fast flowing in July and August.

Yet every day I see children playing beside the surging river or, worse yet, jumping into the Mississippi to swim at the worst possible locations. I was so worried by what I saw last week that I went to the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment to express my concern.

The OPP said they have received many similar complaints. But every time they chase the kids away, they return. An of-

ficer was immediately dispatched to act on the information I provided. But obviously the police can’t be minding children 24/7.

Oh yes, the age of the children involved? I’m referring to kids between 10-14 years old.

It isn’t just the danger of drowning – which is very real right now – that concerns me. Our town is generally safe. But I couldn’t help but think that young girls and boys left unsupervised could easily become a target for predators. Sadly, that possibility is a fact of life in today’s world as we are all very aware. Well, most of us are aware. Clearly some parents haven’t gotten the message. Because many children are being allowed to roam the streets unsupervised at all hours of the day and night.

The safety issues I see every day go beyond swimming of course. Another example is the number of small children who ride bicycles without helmets today.

I see this happening everywhere.

There has been a helmet law in Ontario since 1995. It applies to anyone under the

age of 18. The fine for non-compliance is $75 according to the information I found on-line. And yet three of every four kids I see riding bicycles these days aren’t wearing a helmet.

Clearly the issues that arise when young people are left unsupervised for long periods of time go well beyond personal safety. There are numerous community issues, including vandalism, that spring from this situation.

In closing I will pose this question to parents and guardians. “Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?”

Do you know where they are right now?

I believe adults should be held responsible for what happens to their youngsters who, left to their own devices, fall into harm’s way. They should also be responsible for paying for any mischief unsupervised children perpetrate.

One of the biggest problems in our society today is lack of accountability!

Counties injects $400,000 into parkway bike path Editor’s note: The following are the highlights of the Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville and the Counties Council meetings held on July 24 and July 25 respectively:

Screen for the Cure golf tournament raises $32,000 EMC Sports - The third annual Screen for the Cure Tournament held June 21 raised more than $32,000 in support of screening and prevention of colorectal cancer. To date, more than $152,000 has been raised by the tournament. All monies raised stay in the community, to purchase new colorectal screening equipment for Brockville General Hospital (BGH). The funds raised in the 2012 tournament were used to purchase a new Innova Dual Scope Freestanding Scope Washer worth over $48,000. This brought the number of scope washers at BGH to three units, substantially increasing capacity to decontaminate equipment.

Pictured are the 2013 tournament winners (from left) Tom Blanchard, Claude Mattioli, Chuck Nevay and Nancy Vanderbarren.

“WOOD DOCTOR OUTDOOR WOOD FURNACES” Katrina Ostafichuk,

Social housing units to be sold The Joint Services Committee instructed staff to apply for consent from the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) to sell six detached family units in the Town of Prescott previously used for social housing. Ministerial consent is required under the Housing Services Act 2011.

The homes are located on Roberta Crescent, Victory Road, Boundary Street and Churchill Road. All proceeds from the sale of these homes will be reinvested in the regeneration of public housing in Leeds and Grenville.

The service level of the six units will be paused for up to a five-year period to allow Leeds Grenville to meet the increased demand for senior and olderadult housing.

Emergency Service hours reallocated The Joint Services Committee has authorized Leeds Grenville Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to reallocate service hours between ambulance stations in Spencerville and Brockville to answer growing demand.

The Spencerville station’s new hours of operation will be Monday to Friday from 12 noon to 8 p.m. Previously Spencerville station’s hours of operation were from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. Brockville’s Station 1 will now operate a second vehicle seven days a week from Sunday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

An EMS service delivery review completed last year found a shortfall

in ambulance coverage in the Brockville catchment area, which includes the townships of Front of Yonge, Elizabethtown-Kitley and Athens. Ambulance calls in this catchment area rose by four per cent from 2011 to 2012. The reallocation, with a start time to be announced, will assist with the increased volume, will provide support to meet the response time standard and will keep ambulances in their primary area of coverage. This is a pilot project and will be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.

Counties Council has approved a contribution of $400,000 for the second phase of the 1000 Islands Parkway Recreational Trail revitalization project.

The contribution will be financed over a two-year period and is subject to another $600,000 being raised for the project’s completion.

Work on the path by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission includes widening it to an accessible three metres and resurfacing. Federal and provincial funds of just under $1-million were used to complete 17.4-kilometres of the 36-kilometre path. The second phase will revitalize the remaining 18.6-kilometres of the trail. The total cost to complete the project is $1-million with partnerships forming a vital funding component.

A Counties Governance and Finance Committee report noted revitalizing the trail has economic spin-offs with visiting cyclists. It also provides a connection to nature and the waterfront and fulfills gas tax requirements. Trail systems were also identified as a priority in the Counties Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP).

9-1-1 service renewed with OPP Counties Council passed a bylaw to renew a 9-1-1 Public Emergency Reporting Services (PERS) contract with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).The current annual fee for the service, which includes the City of Brockville and the Town of Prescott, is $52,000. The 9-1-1 service cost to the Counties is $38,500 annually with Brockville and Prescott being invoiced a total of $13,500.

The Counties has contracted the OPP for two consecutive three-year terms and fees have not increased over that time, a report to council stated.

EMC Lifestyle - Is the season getting you down? Allergy season is here, and in fact for many of you, it may have started in the spring and won’t go away until the fall.

Seasonal allergies occur because of an overreaction of your immune system to things in the air (pollen, mould, ragweed, grass); this causes the release of histamine in the body and results in those annoying allergy symptoms.

If you are one of the many that suffer from seasonal allergies, then you know all about the sneezing, the watery eyes, the postnasal drip and the constant itchy nose, which sometimes seems unbearable. Many rely on medications such as antihistamines, decongestants or inhalers to get them through the worst but, unfortunately, a lot of these medications come with some noticeable side effects like drowsiness, fatigue, dry mucous membranes, etc.

There must be alternatives out there?

Naturopathic medicine offers a wonderful array of therapies to help ease allergy symptoms while at the same time addressing the overacting immune system. Treatments may include nutrition, herbal medicines, acupuncture and homeopathics.

Although I usually start preparing my patients a few months prior to the season, there are some very easy, basic and essential things that help get them through the toughest times: - Remember to drink lots of water.

cleanse the body.

- Keep your nasal passages clean.

Using a warm saline rinse daily during allergy season helps to clean out the sinuses from pollen, dust, and various allergens as well as reduce congestion. A Neti Pot is great for this and you can get one at your local pharmacy.

- Avoid mucous forming foods, including dairy, sugar and bananas.

- Eliminate hydrogenated fats which contribute to inflammation. Instead, try to increase your consumption of omega-3 fats (found in fish and walnuts), which are naturally anti-inflammatory.

- Add Vitamin C and pair it with a bioflavonoid such as quercetin or grape seed extract for its natural anti-histamine action.

- Nettle tea (from the stinging nettle plant) – this is a wonderful herb that has properties that are anti-inflammatory as well as anti-allergic; nettle helps to stabilize our mast cells – the ones that produce histamine and cause those nasty allergy symptoms.

In addition to the above mentioned treatment, your Naturopathic Doctor will also work to uncover the root cause of your allergies, and address issues that may worsen your seasonal allergies, such as stress, weakened immune system, etc. Please contact a Naturopathic Doctor if you are interested in an individualized protocol for your allergies.

Dr. Katrina Ostafichuk, N.D. is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. For further information please visit www. seasonsnd.ca or call 613-802-8719.

EMC Lifestyle - You may have noticed recently the increased number of advertisements on radio and TV encouraging us to get moving and get fit. As more research is being aimed at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;battle of the bulgeâ&#x20AC;?, exciting discoveries are being made about the benefits of exercise in helping to prevent the aging process.

Yes, exercise helps keep weight under control, the waist line trim, the muscles toned, roses in our cheeks and a twinkle in our eye. But inside there are great things happening as well. The human body has been made to move. As little as 30 minutes a day can strengthen your heart, lower your blood pressure, build stronger bones, reduce the risk of certain cancers, improve your mood, help you sleep better and reduce the risk of developing Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease.

Those interested should apply in writing outlining speciďŹ c interest with a resume to the Township of Augusta with attention to CAO at, 3560 County Rd 26, RR#2, Prescott, Ontario, K0E 1T0.

Applications will be received until August 9th, 2013.

Only those selected will be contacted.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Looming cuts to physiotherapy services for seniors, in particular those in long-term care and retirement residences, should be put on hold until the impact can be fully measured, says Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark.

Clark, who has received letters from dozens of seniors across the riding and petitions signed by many more, has written to Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews asking that she delay the changes, which take effect Aug. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seniors are calling and writing to me because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen to the physiotherapy they depend on come Aug. 1,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shocked that the minister has implemented such dramatic

made the announcement in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone recognizes that we need to spend our health-care dollars wisely,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to stand by quietly and see frontline care and treatment sacrificed to pay for the waste and mismanagement of the McGuinty-Wynne government.â&#x20AC;?

Clark noted heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s met with seniors, long-term care operators and physiotherapists who have told him that oneon-one physio treatment is a critical factor in improving patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mobility and quality of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the government claims this short-sighted cut is going to save $44 million, I believe the loss of these treatments for frail and elderly patients is going to end up costing the health-care system much more,â&#x20AC;? said Clark.

In his letter, Clark wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;These changes, I believe, will see a reduction in service for Ontario seniors and have serious consequences on their long-term health. Beyond the impact on the health and well-being of seniors in my riding, your plan will inevitably add costs to the health-care system resulting from increased falls and other consequences of reduced physio treatment.â&#x20AC;?

Clark spoke out against the cuts to physiotherapy services for seniors during the debate on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and has also launched a petition against the plan.

EMC Lifestyle - Zena was surrendered to us, approximately nine years old and pregnant. No doubt in her lifetime she has given birth to at least 18 litters of kittens. In her last litter she had two kittens but at long last she has been spayed.

Zena, like some mother cats who have had to nurse litters over and over, has a food dependency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it takes a huge amount of eating and energy to keep feeding babies! She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that she can slow down on her eating, or that food will now always be available, so whenever there is food she feels the need to eat. So she has put on weight, like many middleagers feline or human, around her belly.

Here she sits, typically in the kitchen, hoping lunch will come soon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she is the quintessential kind-hearted kitchen cat. She needs a chance to enjoy a family where she can be doted on for a change.

To see Zena please visit the Gananoque & District Humane Society at 85 Hwy 32 just north of Gananoque and the 401, open Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and noon.

Develop your short game and you’ll surely become a player

R0012237376_0801

EMC Sports - You hit a good drive and just hit your approach shot into the green, but wait a minute here, the ball just rolled off that green. Damn! Now what?

Of course you could curse the green for not holding your approach shot, but what will that accomplish? Nothing really, it will just make you seem like a whiner.

So the next chapter in achieving ‘Player’ status is the Short Game and this in itself covers a lot of ground.

The Short Game includes pitching, chipping and sand play. For men pitching will occur from 80 yards and in, for women it’s usually around 50 yards and in.

Pitching in a nutshell is an abbreviated full swing, so yes there is body motion in this shot. I get a kick out of teaching pros who teach this shot with arms only, good luck with that one.

You definitely want to incorporate the same fundamentals of your full swing into your pitching swing. The nice thing about using your full swing technique in your pitching is that by practicing this it will actually make your full swing that much better. Think about it, the pitching swing is just a shorter version of your full swing; basically it’s a ‘thumbs up’ to ‘thumbs up’ swing with body motion.

The pitching technique I like to teach is concentrating on the lead arm and how far it is swung back during the backswing.

You can swing it back where it appears to be pointing to 8 o’clock for a very short pitch shot, point to 9 o’clock for a mid length pitch shot and to 10 o’clock for full pitch shot.

Practice this with all your wedges, for me that includes a pitching, gap, sand, and a lob wedge.

You would have to be real serious about your game to practice with all your wedges in this manner. But in the end that’s what it takes to become a player, or for the young player looking to get them-

selves a golf scholarship.

Now let’s move to chipping, a shot we will use from 10 yards and closer to the green. Basically you would use a narrow stance with your weight favouring your lead leg. Ball position would be either in the center of your stance or more towards your back foot. Why? Well for starters you want to contact the ball before the ground which is something I see happen when golfers place the ball too far forward in their stance.

And one other thing here, instead of establishing a capital ‘Y’ position with your arms and golf club as we would with a full swing. In this shot we will lean the shaft more forward forming a small ‘y’.

In your backstroke you can use a little hinge in your hands and wrists like a lot of the Tour Players do or you can keep your wrists quiet. Either way you most definitely want to make sure your lead hand and wrist is flat and firm with no cupping action as you swing through your chipping stroke.

The result here is if you cup your lead wrist you will contact the ball in the equator causing it to scoot across the green.

As you develop this area of your game, here is a mental tip that should help you with your chipping. Whatever type of chip shot you use whether it is more of a bump and run or a shot you fly more in the air, pick your landing spot. This in itself will separate the average hack from the better player.

I am trying an 8 o’clock pitch shot, from here I will go on to a full finish. Getting to somewhat of a full finish will at least guarantee that I accelerated through the shot.

by your set up. If you are a right hander, set up your body to the left of your target. Your ball position would be closer to your front foot. Also work your feet into the sand, this will raise the ball a little higher allowing you to swing your wedge under the ball when your arms fully extend through impact. From there we set the clubface open so the bounce is going to make contact with the sand. This prevents digging with the leading edge of your club head, a common mistake made When it comes to sand shots, 90 per by the average golfer. This shot is more cent of your results here are determined of a splash than the normal click like most shots. Believe it or not, you actually want to hit behind the ball with this shot so the sand pushes the ball out of the trap.
