Big news for YMCA at end of fundraising drive

By DOREEN BARNES

Several announcements took place during the 2015 Annual Giving Campaign: Strong Kids Donor Appreciation Luncheon last Thursday, Sept. 10, that included large amounts of money.

An announcement was made by Paul Fournier that the Don and Shirley Green Family Foundation donated $500,000 to the YMCA of Brockville and Area Foundation. As well, Ian McFall, co-chair with Mary Mansworth of the 2015 Annual Giving Campaign: Strong Kids, unveiled the amount raised for this effort, $324,234 towards the goal of $400,000.

Adding to the excitement of the day, the 120 attendees were advised that the Y’s chief executive officer position was filled.

“Dianna Deakin-Thomas has agreed to be here with us for as long as we need,” said board of directors Chair Catherine Deplaedt.

Deplaedt also thanked those present for their support, time and contributions to the YMCA of Brockville and Area.

Everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, is welcome at the Y. “Young and old alike, no one is turned away due to the inability to pay,” said Deplaedt. “Last year, we welcomed 1,929 individuals who were not able to participate without your help.

The dollar value to support those 1,929 individuals was $382,299 and that need, unfortunately, continues to grow.”

For those wishing to donate, contact Anna Hudson, director of development, communications and relationship management, at 613-342-7961. For more information about the organization, visit www.brockvilley.com.

South Grenville grads can reconnect while supporting young Giants aged to attend, and there will be more than enough going on all weekend to keep people having a good time. Apart from having a whale of a weekend, the reunion has another important aim, that is to raise at least $10,000 to fund a new scholarship for graduating students.

“We wanted to honour the teachers who helped us become the adults we are today, so we decided to establish a scholarship fund to be presented in their honour,” says Hache.

With $10,000 in the bank, the annual $1,000 scholarship would be fully funded for a decade. And each year, the award will be named for a different teacher, and anybody who gives at least $10 will get a vote as to whom the first teacher to be so honoured will be.

All donations are tax deductible and anybody interested in contributing can do so online at picatic.com/giantreunion2015.

The reunion gets started on the Friday afternoon with a golf and ride at the Prescott Golf Club. There is space for as many as 140 golfers, and there will

Proceeds from the silent auctions on both Friday and Saturday will all go towards the scholarship fund. And at the Saturday auction, people will have a chance to bid on an NHL jersey signed by superstar Steve Stamkos, complete with a certificate of authenticity. “We’re anticipating that will go for a pretty good price, and it all goes to the scholarship,” says Hache.

Later on Saturday, there will be a dance and buffet dinner, sponsored by Procter & Gamble and catered by Chef Brandi Donovan along with students from the school’s senior hospitality program. A happy hour from 5-6 p.m. will usher in the evening, and dinner will be served from 6-8 p.m. Throughout the dinner, some musical entertainment will be provided by Steve Bell and Sue Baker.

The social starts at 7 p.m. and winds up about 1 a.m.

Saturday is another jam-packed day, with events beginning at 11 a.m. at the high school. There will be a memorabilia display, art exhibit, and an open house, sponsored by Bottom Line Accounting and Tax Services, to give former students a look at all that has changed at the school and, perhaps more importantly, all that has remained the same.

The theme will be the 1970s, but former students from any year who have fond memories of Prescott’s South Grenville District High School are invited back for what is shaping up to be a giant reunion.

The weekend-long trip down memory lane will kick off on Friday, Sept. 25 and wrap up on Sunday, Sept. 27.

Though it’s promising to be a big party, it didn’t start out that way. A small group of friends had just got together to figure out a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their own high school graduation and, slowly, the plan transformed into a celebration of everybody else’s too. So, they formed a committee and got serious about planning a Giant Reunion.

“There are four core people on the committee and another four that are a big part of the group,” says co-chair Tammy Hache. “And we have lots of people who have volunteered to help us set up and work the event.”

Lorraine Rekmans is the Green party candidate in LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. gradually as a recipient earns additional income. “GLI is a logical solution,” she said.

Rekmans does not believe that jacking up the minimum wage is a solution to challenges faced by low-income workers.

“It drives up the cost of goods and services,” she stated. “It doesn’t alleviate the cost-ofliving problem.”

The Green party candidate rejects the suggestion that it would take many years to implement initiatives such as GLI. “It should resonate with every Canadian,” said Rekmans, who also spoke of the need to reestablish Canadian values and restore confidence and hope in the country’s future. Most Canadians are waiting for things to

get better, she commented.

As for revitalizing democracy, Rekmans noted that the Green party is calling for the creation of a council of Canadian governments that would include the provinces, first nations and municipalities. Goals would be identified as well as actions to be taken by the different levels of government. Electoral reform would also be a priority.

At a recent candidate discussion on affordable housing in Brockville, Rekmans indicated that housing should be recognized in the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms. A first step by a Green government would be to create a national housing strategy. “Without it, we seem to be floundering,” she said.

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19.

To Lorraine Rekmans, it’s all about having the chance to talk about how her party can help improve the lives of Canadians.

The Green candidate in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes is also the party’s indigenous affairs critic; she is of Algonquin descent. Rekmans, 52, resides in Osgoode village just outside of the riding and has lived in the area for about 12 years. She works at the family’s automotive business in North Grenville with her husband and two sons.

Rekmans is no stranger to campaigning. She represented the Green party in a Northern Ontario riding in the 2008 and 2011 federal elections. Rekmans has a background in journalism, and she is the former executive director of the National Aboriginal Forestry Association.

“Every single day I have an opportunity to talk about the Green party platform,” she said in an interview.

Rekmans indicated early in the campaign that she is excited and optimistic about the election, although she did not have expectations about the outcome.

“We know what the odds are… that’s not going to deter us,” she commented.

When it comes to the economy, Rekmans emphasized the value of the Guaranteed Liveable Income (GIL) initiative being proposed by the Green party. GIL would replace many existing federal and provincial transfers for social programs and supplements and create an income floor with a universal benefit that would be reduced

FABN is not a government agency, and does not receive regular government funding. It applies for grants for projects for sustainable community development. Core operational funding to support such community-lead projects depends on donations.

CASINO From front page

Great Canadian reportedly will invest up to $13 million in improvements to the Thousand Islands site.

Under the arrangement, the Town of Gananoque and Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands will continue to share more than $3 million combined in gaming revenue-sharing quarterly payments for being the casino’s host municipalities.

“We are thrilled with this announcement,” noted Leeds and the Thousand Islands Mayor Joe Baptista in a joint release with Gananoque.

“This shows that Great Canadian sees Leeds and the Thousand Islands as a place to invest in. Their investment will benefit the entire re-

gion.”

The casino is the sixth largest employer in Leeds and Grenville, according to the release.

There are between 350 and 400 workers at the Thousand Islands site that opened in June 2002.

“We are pleased to welcome the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation and look forward to working together. This announcement comes after three years of working with the OLG through the modernization process,” Gananoque Mayor Erika Demchuk stated.

A meeting involving the mayors and the president of Great Canadian is being scheduled, according to the local release.

A 20-year casino operating and services agreement between OLG and Ontario Gaming East LP (a majority of which is owned by Great Canadian) is in the works. The transition is expected to take place in early 2016, according to OLG. The service provider is required to retain all employees of Casino Thousand Islands in their current positions and at that location for at least one year. Eligible employees are to be provided with benefits and a registered pension plan, according to OLG. The provincial agency will continue to conduct and manage gaming in the affected facilities and distribute payments to host municipalities.

United Way campaign emphasizes lives changed truhnke@metroland.com

It might look different, but the commitment to supporting member agencies remains in place.

That was one of the takeaways from the United Way of Leeds & Grenville’s 2015 campaign kickoff breakfast last Wednesday morning. Local dignitaries and volunteers gathered at CJ’s in Brockville for the non-profit organization’s annual fall campaign launch.

The 2014 drive raised $1.1 million in support of the United Way’s 28 member agencies that provide services and programs utilized by about one in three residents of the Leeds and Grenville area.

Executive Director Melissa Hillier announced at the kick-off that the 2015 campaign goal will “reflect lives changed” rather than dollars raised. She indicated a similar approach is now being taken by a number of other United Ways.

The local United Way’s slogan has also been refreshed. “Change starts here” has been replaced by “Together, we are possibility.”

Terry O’Reilly returns for another year as chair of the local United Way campaign. “Well, here we are again,” he started. O’Reilly noted that promoting giving can be a challenge in the best of times.

“Never has that need been greater than now,” he commented.

O’Reilly referred to the convergence of a number of extraordinary challenges facing the organization at this time. “And we will meet them,” he added. Among the changes is the absence of longtime executive director Judi Baril, who retired in the spring after leading the local United Way for more that 25 years. In noting that Hillier is a wonderful, enthusiastic and capable person, O’Reilly acknowledged that the organization will miss Baril’s experience.

The campaign chair asked the volunteers to bring a special spirit and zeal to this year’s fundraising drive. “I know you will do your very best,” For more information, call the United Way at he commented.

Many of the regular fundraising events remain 613-342-8889 or visit www.uwleedsgrenville.org.

Candidates in Roebuck

Agriculture is the focus of a federal candidates debate to be held in Roebuck next week.

The meeting will be held in the community hall on County Road 18 on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m. The Grenville Federation of Agriculture is hosting the event.

They include Spaghettifest at North Grenville District High School on Oct. 3, as well as the silent auction at 1000 Islands Mall, Starlight Film Festival for teenagers at Galaxy Cinemas and the Docs and Diamonds gala at the Brockville Memorial Centre in November. United Way’s Giant Bingo returns to Prescott on Oct. 3. There will be Hockey Night in Leeds and Grenville, but the date has not been determined. There will be changes to that event, it was noted at the breakfast. The hockey event is cohosted by Gord Brown, the local MP who is running in the Oct. 19 federal election.

One of the speakers at the kick-off was Murray Grant, HR manager at GreenField Specialty Alcohols in Johnstown and one of the United Way volunteers who raises money at the plant. Grant told the breakfast audience that he cannot recite the mission of the vision of the organization. “The United Way helps people in need” and changes people’s lives in the process, he stated. “That’s what it’s all about.”

Grant acknowledged there are challenges such as trying to deal with volunteer fatigue, keeping campaigns fresh and encouraging others to donate without being perceived as being a pest. “The problems we face are small compared to the good we can do,” he commented.

As for the new executive director, Hillier thanked United Way officials and staff for helping her get established in her new role. “I know it’s going to be a very special campaign,” she said.

Hillier told St. Lawrence News that the organization will be reporting on the number of lives changed on a weekly basis during the campaign and highlighting local success stories. “We are trying very hard to get away from putting a dollar value out there,” she stated. “We are encouraging people to think about the lives changed and the impact on the community instead.”

Faceless no more: sharing the story of murdered and missing Aboriginal women

By DOREEN BARNES

Violence Prevention and Safety and member of the Native Women Association of Canada from Ottawa, will be guest speaker.

She will talk about the myths surrounding missing or murdered Aboriginal women and children, as well as the need for a national inquiry as to why there is a large percentage of women in comparison to the population.

“The RCMP say that nearly 1,200 women have gone missing since 1980, and the Aboriginal women only make up four per cent of that female population,” shared Corbeil. “Aboriginal women account for 16 per cent of the murders committed in this country.”

One myth was that all the missing or murdered Aboriginal women were in the sex trade, which isn’t true.

According to Corbeil, even if they were, they still deserved to be safe.

“People need to be aware that there will be some graphic details shared as we are talking about women being murdered or missing, which can be upsetting,” added Wright.

Once Gallager has answered questions, then people will start making the Faceless Dolls.

“The dolls can be as complex or as simple as the creator’s imagination,” shared Corbeil.

All the Faceless Dolls will be affixed to a painted backdrop prepared by Dawn Fiegen and hung in the Brockville Public Library for anyone that would like to add to it. This project is being presented to the public for awareness about this tragic situation for the average woman and to speak to the value of all women.

“The reality is that the government has not been responsive to the requests of an inquiry and there’s something really wrong about the fact that we have so many women missing and murdered with no investigation,” said Wright. “These women are someone’s children. We want to give a voice to our aboriginal sisters who are experiencing such horrors and tragedies.”

Adults throughout Leeds and Grenville are invited to the Brockville Public Library, 23 Buell St., this Sunday, Sept. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m., to listen, learn and participate in the Faceless Doll project.

This is a free event, but people are asked to bring supplies to share – assorted coloured felt fabric, ribbons, glue, scissors, beads, feathers and any other adornment they wish to use. A Faceless Doll template will be available.

“The Native Women Association of Canada started the Faceless Dolls in March 2012 and it is a way to remember the murdered and missing Aboriginal women in Canada,” said one of the organizers, Loretta Corbeil. “So they have led workshops across the country, but now they are asking communities to help by carrying on.”

Corbeil has lived in Regina and Winnipeg and is very aware of what is taking place with regards to Aboriginal women.

“A year ago a 15-year-old Aboriginal girl’s body was found wrapped in plastic and dumped into the Winnipeg River,” said Corbeil. “It just made me so sad.”

Some of Corbeil’s Winnipeg friends didn’t know what to do; some were going to protest and others were going to participate in the Faceless Dolls project.

“I thought this was a serious national problem and I wondered if we could do something like this (Faceless Doll project) in Brockville,” said Corbeil. “I contacted Brandy Smith at the Brockville Public Library and she was so supportive. Then I contacted Kimberley Wright at Leeds and Grenville Interval House. They both wanted to do.”

To begin, The Sisters of the Drum, a local First Nations group, will perform a smudging, a sage ceremony to cleanse the area and drumming.

“They will be preparing some traditional food, blueberry bannock and strawberry water,” indicated Wright.

Learn more about Brockville arts, culture

The first Culture Days celebration in Brockville is set for Saturday, Sept. 26.

The annual volunteer movement is aimed at raising public awareness of arts and culture in communities across Canada. Groups take part in or host free events and activities on the last weekend of September.

King Street West between Home and Perth streets will be closed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 26th as part of the Brockville celebration.

There will be demonstrations and displays as artists, photographers, crafts persons, musicians and writers will be on hand to share their passions with the public. The Brockville DBIA is hosting the event.

Nearby, the Brockville Arts Centre will, for the first time, provide VIP backstage guided tours of the facility that dates back to the 1850s. Tours include dressing rooms, studio, fly tower and projection booth and will start at 10 a.m., noon and 1 p.m.

Fulford Place Museum on King Street East will offer 50-minute tours of the Edwardian mansion every hour on the hour between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The Brockville Museum on Henry Street just west of Hardy Park will host Ontario East British Home Child Day festivities starting at 9 a.m. on Sept. 26. There will be talks and discussions about the more than 100,000 children from the United Kingdom and Ireland who were relocated to Canada between 1869 and 1948.

The mayors of Leeds and Grenville were asked this past week to back a request by Front of Yonge to initiate the process of consulting with CN Rail on eliminating train whistles at the three county road crossings in that township. As was noted at the meeting, perhaps it is time for the United Counties to take a wider approach to the subject and consider a policy that would apply throughout the corridor instead of a piecemeal approach from one municipality to the next.

One of the points raised during the committee discussion last Tuesday involves quality of life. Train whistles on the CN mainline have a negative effect on the people who live and work in close proximity to a whistle stop, it is argued. It’s not just those who are here now; others who might be considering a move to one of the Leeds and Grenville communities affected could also be influenced by whether or not there is a noise issue. And if the safety measures in place at level crossings are sufficient, why are whistles still needed?

However, as Westport Mayor Robin Jones noted, municipal leaders should not be making assumptions when it comes to this issue.

To what extent, if any, would eliminating train whistles have on public safety? We expect that part of the homework that municipal leaders will be doing as part of the review process will be to seek credible reports and related information on that very subject.

Silencing train whistles has been debated in many communities in our region in recent years, and Mallorytown is just the latest one.

We know there are many people who believe it is a quality-of-life issue and would look forward to the day when those whistles are eliminated from crossings in their neighbourhood. For those who live in Front of Yonge, having the counties start the process without committing to the cessation of train whistles might be at least a step in the right direction.

Father learns the value of the knife sharpening man Few buggies came in our long lane that caused more excitement for me than the one bringing the old man who came to sharpen our knives. Everything about him was different from any other visitor to our farm out in Northcote.

You could hear him before you saw him. He had a rack attached to the dashboard of the buggy, and it held a row of bells, which he pounded, one after the other all the way in the lane and right into our yard. As soon as our old dog Sport heard the bells, he ran to the cow byre and hid in the hay. Mother said it was the old man’s way of letting us know he was coming, and gave her time to redd up the knives in the kitchen.

Father thought paying good money for sharpening knives was a complete waste, since he could do just as good a job with the whit stone. “Can you cut

a piece of paper with the knives you sharpened?” Mother would ask. For that, Father had no answer.

The old man steered the buggy right over to the watering trough so his horse could have a drink while he worked. He hopped down, went to the back of the buggy, and took out a small stand and a little stool, nodded in my direction and got right down to the business of sharpening knives.

Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104 Director of Advertising Cheryl Hammond cheryl.hammond@metroland.com 613-221-6218 General Manager Cindy Manor cmanor@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 164 Editor in Chief Ryland Coyne rcoyne@perfprint.ca

Mother had arrived at the spot with a kitchen tray, and every knife we owned.

The contraption that did the work had a stone wheel, which sat in a little basin, and this he filled with water from the watering trough. A belt went from the wheel down to a wood pedal and once he sat on the three-legged stool and placed a foot on the pedal, he worked it up and down just like Mother did on the treadle Singer sewing machine. The wheel went at a great clip spitting out water in every direction.

One after another the old man took a knife from the tray, held it to the stone, and stuff flew off the wheel, water spewed out from the basin, and before long the old man’s front was soaked to the skin. He stopped only long enough to get more water from the trough for

the job at hand.

He had a stump of a cigar in his mouth, and never once did I see him put a match to it. I was just as fascinated with the cigar as I was with the knife sharpener, because even though it wasn’t lit, it was obvious to me that he was chewing it. Because every once in a while, he would let go with a spit that arched in the air and landed about 10 feet away. I marveled at such a talent for spitting, and watched as the stub of his cigar got smaller and smaller until there was nothing left but one final spit.

Why he didn’t sever off a finger was beyond me. He wore no gloves, but held the blade of the knife heavy against the whirling wheel, turning it often to do both sides. When he got it to his liking, he took a sheet of newspaper from the ground; obviously there for just such

a purpose, and with one fell-swoop, he sliced the paper with the newly sharpened knife. I was very impressed!

Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform. He put the handle over his shoulder, and pressed the blade of the axe hard against the spinning wheel. Within minutes it was as shiny as a night star, and took the paper-slicing job as easily as did the knives from the kitchen.

Father wandered over from the barn. “Well, I’ll be darned,” he said. Mother paid the old man 10 cents for every knife he honed, and he told

Donation from estate will fund four palliative care beds

A tremendous gift of $100,000 was recently presented at the Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament by executor Jeff Earle (middle), on behalf of the estate of his aunt, Patricia Webster, to event co-chairs David Publow and Jim Cooper. The donation is designated for the purchase of a total of four Total Care P500 Intensive Care Beds each at a cost of close to $25,000. These innovative beds will help to ensure the utmost comfort for those using the Palliative Care Service in Brockville.

Museum accepting items for silent auction The Brockville Museum’s annual silent auction, “Kitsch & Collectables,” has always been one of our most anticipated and most enjoyable events of the year. With a wide and varied selection of antiques, collectibles, memorabilia and, yes, some kitsch thrown in for good measure, there will be lots on which to bid.

For those “on the hunt,” the auction will be run from 2–5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2 and Saturday, Oct. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at which time bidding will close. Tallying the bids only takes a few minutes, so successful bidders are welcome to stay for coffee while the lots are retrieved.

Every year at the auction is different! This year, there will be an excellent selection of “Brockvillia” and many other items, including Stetson hats,

an ancient pair of snowshoes, Gilder prints, and Smart’s ironware!

Anyone wishing to donate any items of local interest, something old, or something retro, the museum would be most grateful! To give organizers adequate time, please make donations no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25.

The silent auction has always been an excellent fundraiser, and the museum appreciates the continuing generosity and support of our both the local community and the many volunteers who help support this major event.

I look forward to dealing with you in the future.

Talk in Prescott will dig up stories about characters from region’s mining past

Visit Us at the Plowing Match!

By CONAN de VRIES

The Friends of the Prescott Library group hasn’t been around long, but it’s quickly developing a reputation for putting on unique events and bringing to town interesting guest speakers. Recently, the group held a well-attended talk by an expert in the marital relations of migratory song birds, and next week, the friends will host another fascinating guest.

Allen Steinburg has long been an expert in the history of mining in this region and a connoisseur of rocks, gems and minerals. It often comes as a surprise to people that there is so storied a history of mining in the area, but the story is a fascinating one and nobody tells it better than Steinburg.

“There will be stories about some of the characters involved,” says Peter Green, chair of the Friends of the Prescott Library. “Mining has always been associated with

some amount of fraud, larceny and skulduggery.”

The talk, entitled Mines and Minerals of Leeds County and Prescott, takes place this Saturday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. and will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Dibble and Centre streets in Prescott.

Mining in this area hasn’t been consigned entirely to the history books. Steinburg will chart the course of mining and smelting in this region from its early days, when Lyndhurst was the site of Ontario’s first iron ore mine and smelter, to the wollastonite mining that is going on in Seeley’s Bay to this day.

“There is quite a lot of mine activity and quite a few mine shafts around here,” says Green.

There is no admission for any of the talks and events the friends put on, a deliberate decision the group hoped would encourage more people to come out and take part, but donations are warmly welcomed. All money collected from the group’s various events goes to benefit the Prescott Public Library.

In the past, the friends have contributed to the acquisition of new books, supported programming and helped out with the purchase of equipment and supplies. Later this year, ideally during Library Week in October, the friends are planning to present the library with the efforts of their latest round of fundraising, the amount of which will be announced next

month.

There are also more events planned for later this year, including the return of the popular Fun with Santa, an afternoon of music, games, reading and festive entertainment that proved quite a hit with kids last December. The group has made a few changes to the event, though, including the date. It will now be held on the Saturday after Prescott’s Light Up the Night Parade, the date of which has yet to be announced.

“It will be a standing event and become a tradition,” says Green.

And earlier this summer, the friends invited a group of local authors to town to give readings of their work and drew quite a crowd to St. Andrew’s to enjoy the literary event.

Plans are already under way to hold that event again next summer. “Quite a number of people who read at the last one indicated they wanted to do it again,” says Green.

The friends also host a book club, and it’s a book club with a twist. Instead of everybody reading the same book and discussing it, the participants read whatever they like and then come to the meeting to tell others of what they read, what they liked and didn’t like about it and whether or not they’d recommend the book.

The group usually gets about 10-12 members out for the monthly meetings, but more are always welcome. Its next meeting is at the Prescott Public Library on Sept. 23 at 2 p.m.

The Dream Team in Lansdowne area is ready for 35th annual run

Penny Brown, who works at Medtronics-Covidien in Gananoque, is one of the members of the Dream Team and is more affectionately known as “Foxy Brown,” added, “We have a big team to celebrate the 35th year and are running for co-workers who have passed away from cancer. We have a team of around 20 people with lots of fundraising events under our belts this past year in memory of our loved ones. With one goal in mind; that we lose no one else.”

“We have a huge beautiful poster this year for Team Foxy Brown,” smiling, she added, “plus, Foxy Brown has a touching surprise for Lisa Marie this year!”

The Dream Team is a wonderful group of coworkers and friends who came together with a common interest and have together worked with each other’s charities and together share a passion for Terry Fox and are determined to find a cure.

“Many fundraising events take place throughout the year, leading up to this incredible day,” explained Gow. “Some of the Dream Team had the privilege to meet the Fox family members, go to the Terry Fox Exhibit in Ottawa at the Museum of History, were invited to the induction of Terry’s Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto and met Terry Fox’s best friend, Doug Alward.”

Experiences such as these are just a few of the things that keep bringing the Dream Team closer and closer together each year, always striving to find a way to find a cure.

“These are all memories that we will continue to hold dear within our hearts,” said Gow.

Leadership that delivers.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the theme of Gord Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reelection campaign.

About 150 people were on hand for the official opening of the Conservative candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in the Brockville Shopping Centre last Wednesday.

Brown was first elected MP of LeedsGrenville in 2004. He was re-elected in 2006, 2008 and 2011. The ridingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new name as part of the Oct. 19 federal election is Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.

Brown said that he got his start in politics to help make a difference in his community and later on in his region. The Conservative candidate stated that he is proud of his record of getting things done for the riding. The government has been listening to constituents and delivering on their priorities, ac-

cording to Brown. Those items include stable, long-term infrastructure funding and the elimination of the gun registry.

Brown noted that he has delivered when it comes to economic development funding, autism and dementia research and support for parents of critically ill children.

The candidate indicated that Canada now has a balanced budget, the lowest federal taxes in 50 years and one of the best economies in the world. The majority Conservative government of the past four years led a productive parliament, Brown indicated. He does not want to return to the tax-and-spend and wishywashy days of the previous government.

Special guest at the event was John Baird, a former Ottawa MP and MPP who served as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign affairs minister and held other cabinet portfolios at the federal and provincial levels. In

addition to offering support to Brown, Baird indicated he was in the riding to visit his tax money. Ministers watch out for Brown because they know he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop bothering them until he gets what he wants, Baird remarked.

Others in attendance included Thousand Islands-Rideau Lakes Senator Bob Runciman and Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark.

The seven additional locations requested: County Road 3 from Tower Road to Rapid Valley Restaurant, 898 County Rd. 2; County Road 4 from Rockfield to Warburton; County Road 34 from County Road 35 to Lexx Road and from Cunningham Side Road to 2655 Hiscocks Rd.; County Road 35 from 384 Station Rd. to County Road 34; County Road 39 from County Road 40 to Park Lane; County Road 42 from Upper Oak Leaf Road to east side of Village of Athens.

The expanded use of county roads by ATV and off-road vehicle operators has received the tentative approval of Leeds and Grenville council.

A resolution recommending the addition of seven locations in Leeds and the Thousand Islands and Athens was approved by council at its committeeof-the-whole meeting last Tuesday. The recommendation will be put to council for formal adoption later this month.

The Thousand Island ATV Club requested the additional locations involving sections of county roads 3, 4, 34, 35, 39 and 42. The two townships were consulted by the counties; both permit ATVs on municipal roads and neither filed an objection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are in favour of this,â&#x20AC;? Public Works Director Les Shepherd told council.

Leeds and the Thousand Islands Mayor Joe Baptista said the club is a really good land steward and respects landowners. In noting the economic benefits that ATV operators can bring to a community in terms of visits to motels and restaurants, Baptista encouraged the other mayors at the council table to look at expanding ATV access to roads in their respective municipalities.

Shepherd indicated that the location approvals would be rescindable, al-

though he did not recall there being any incidents involving the lawful use of other authorized county road locations

by ATVs in the past.

As of July 1, more types off-road vehicles and ATVs including side-by-side and two-up models are allowed to use the shoulder of public roads in Ontario.

The move included increasing safety requirements for riders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government recognizes the importance of a vibrant, sustainable and safe powersports sector in Ontario, and we support providing Ontarians with more options to safely explore our vast province,â&#x20AC;? Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca stated in a release.

Ten important steps for closing up your cottage The kids have gone back to school, the leaves are changing colour and the temperature is dropping slowly but surely. In other words, fall is definitely in the air and the time has come to close your cottage for the winter. Here’s a short checklist so you don’t forget anything and end up with some unpleasant surprises next spring.

1. Inspect the cottage. Walk around the cottage to check if anything deteriorated over the summer. Inspect the gutters and remove dead leaves from them; make sure they’ll drain properly. Check the roof and foundations, and do any necessary repairs.

2. Check the doors and windows.

Remove the screens to prevent condensation buildup on windows, and make sure all doors and windows are properly caulked. Replace any dam-

aged weather stripping.

3. Prune trees. Cut branches that are too close to the cottage or that are hanging over the roof, as they could damage the structure in high winds or during heavy snow accumulation.

4. Put everything in storage. Shelter garden hoses, deck furniture, gardening tools, lawn mower, bikes, barbecue, boats and water toys. Take the time to close up the pool and spa properly.

5. Turn off the water. Turn off the water inside the cottage as well as the outside tap. Drain the hot water tank and pipes (washer, dishwasher, shower, etc.) to prevent frozen and burst pipes. Don’t hesitate to call in a professional to ensure that everything is done properly.

6. Empty the fridge. The fridge

should be emptied, cleaned and defrosted. Be sure to leave the door ajar to prevent bad smells.

7. Wash all bedding. Remove and wash the bedding. Store it in airtight containers, away from any dampness.

You could also cover your mattress and living room cou­ches with plastic to prevent mildew.

8. Minimize the risk of fire. Turn off the electricity and heating, and unplug all electrical appliances. Get rid of old newspapers, rags and chemical products. Close up the fireplace and inspect the chimney, or have it inspected by a chimney sweep.

9. Protect the cottage from vermin. Get rid of all traces of food, including canned food, and block all possible entryways to the cottage, such as the fireplace and cracks in walls or in the founda-

tion. You could also scatter some mothballs in case animals do try to take up residence in your absence in spite of all your precautions.

10. Secure the cottage. Make sure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly, and change the batteries. Remove all your valuables and leave the curtains open to show that there is nothing interesting to steal inside — closed curtains arouse cu­riosity. Before leaving, make sure that all doors (cottage, shed, garage, etc.) are pro­perly closed and locked. If possible, ask your neighbours to check on your property from time to time, and give them your contact information in case of an emergency.

Lastly, don’t forget to notify your insu­r er that your cottage is closed until next spring.

Recycle and decorate Advice for stripping wood safely at the same time There’s no shortage of great ideas for decorating your home using salvaged or recycled objects.

Here are three simple projects that are sure to add an original touch to your decor.

Well-dressed cushions Do you have some fabric cushions that are faded or have outdated patterns or colours?

Cover them with fabric from clothes you no longer wear, whether it’s because of a bro­ ken zipper, an unsightly tear or a small stain that’s impossible to remove. What a great way to breathe new life into your cushions and clothes.

A wok in the garden If you have an old, badly scratched wok, don’t throw it away whatever you do! In a few easy steps, you can turn it into a great planter. After painting it, line the bottom with dried moss. Place upon the moss some small stones for drainage and then fill the wok with soil. Now plant whatev­

er you want; put it somewhere in your yard and then sit back and listen to your visitors’ sur­ prised comments.

Door handles Just changed your door­ knobs and you’re wondering what to do with the old ones?

Screw a few into a nice woo­den plank and attach it to a wall in the entrance hall. You can use it for hanging coats, bags, scarves, umbrellas, etc. Door handles can also be used as curtain hooks. You have too much jewelry? Hang your neck­ laces and bracelets on some door handles attached to a wall.

Removing several layers of paint from wood furniture is a job that antique and ca­binetwork enthusiasts usually love to tackle. If you want to display the original grain of some antique wood furniture or stain it a different colour, read these safety tips carefully.

Before you start stripping the wood, re­member that wood stripping products are highly toxic and can be dangerous to your health. Take the time to carefully read all the instructions of your chosen strip­ ping product. Unfortunately, many people neglect this essential step, either be­cause of im­patience or overconfidence.

Follow safety instructions to the letter.

• Where possible, work outside.

• If you must work indoors, try to prevent vapours from spreading and ventilate your workspace.

• Protect yourself properly by wearing a mask, safety glasses, gloves and protec­ tive clothing.

• Ensure your children or pets don’t have access to your workplace.

If you have trouble breathing, or if you experience dizziness, nausea or a head­ ache while stripping furniture, go outside and breathe some fresh air as quickly as possible. Ideally, you should leave your workplace to go breathe fresh air every ten minutes.

Mini homes are a mega trend With households getting smaller and the cost of living getting more expensive, many people are opting for smaller homes.

They are still scarce, but maybe one day soon we’ll be seeing mini-home neighbourhoods springing up everywhere.

Recycled materials Mini homes are usually designed with a particular concern for the environment and are often made of recycled materials. Another popular trend is to recycle shipping containers; they’re modified rather ingeniously to create mo­dular spaces that can be connected to each other.

Economic benefits Mini homes are advantageous on many le­vels, but most especially because you don’t have to sacrifice the

comforts of a larger house. Not only are construction costs more affordable, but heating and lighting costs are also drastically reduced. Smaller mortgages (or someti­mes none at all) give people who wouldn’t normally have the means a chance to access the housing market. In addition, a more economical home frees up more time and money for other projects or activities.

Flexible housing Some types of mini houses give amateur carpenters the possibi­lity of adding rooms and in­crea­sing their living space at will. And many mini homeowners install solar panels on the roof to save even more on energy costs.

Downsizing is more tempting than ever, isn’t it?

3) Drying Set up a removable rod or, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough space, a retractable clothesline for drying delicate items. You could also install a fixed rod for hanging up your clothes to dry on hangers.

Drapes, shades or blinds?

STUCK SLIDING WINDOWS A little silicone spray lubricant (sold at hardware stores) will grease the skids. Spray it onto a rag, then wipe along the tracks, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re metal, wood, or plastic.

Whether you prefer prints that draw the eye or the timeless elegance of neutral co­lours, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty to choose from when it comes to shopping for window treatments. This season, natural fibre drapes, blinds and solar shades are in favour.

You prefer drapes? Choose silk or linen. Are your walls and furniture very colourful?

Balance the overall look with drapes in neutral tones. Your decor needs brigh­te­ning up?

Choose drapes in vivid co­lours.

Of course, neutral shades blend in perfectly with a classic decor, while bright colours and patterns are eye-catching and a perfect complement to a modern decor.

Blinds are making a co­ meback.

Eco-friendly, af­ fordable, exotic and easy to maintain, bamboo blinds have it all. To protect your interior from the sun, go for solar shades; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re perfect for uncluttered, mo­­­­dern decors.

On an­o ther note, shut­ters are sure to add a special touch to your home.

So, drapes, shades or blinds?

It all depends on your pre­ ferences and the type of de­­ cor you like. Shop around for some inspiration.

Do your own renovations You prefer to do the work yourself? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to find out about municipal regulations and if you need a permit.

To increase the value of your home Are you planning to eventually sell your home and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to increase its value? Put all your efforts into the kit­chen and bathroom.

A new roof, hardwood floors and a fresh coat of paint could also in­crease your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ap­peal and give you a good return on your investment.

Are you about to start a home renovation project?

The following tips may prove useful.

Reduce costs Obviously, you want your renovations to cost you as little as possible. Consequently, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to plan well. The more de­tailed your plans, the less time and mo­ney youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll waste. You should also check to see if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible for a tax credit or a financial assistance program. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reasonably handy, you could do some of the work yourself. Ideally, you should always bud­get a little extra money for when unexpec­ted costs come up; around 10 per cent of your budget is a good guideline.

Choosing the right expert Before choosing specialists for your renovation project, be sure to ask lots of questions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for you to know how many hours the job will take, if they are specialists in this type of work, if they have a licence and if their work is guaranteed.

Above all, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to ask to see some of their previous jobs.

Upper Canada Playhouse season ends with Norm Foster play That’s the challenge of directing and performing a Foster play. They’re comedies, no doubt about it, but there’s more to them, and those involved with the production have to make sure they do justice to the themes Foster likes to explore in his work.

“As long as we’re faithful to the story, and tell the story, the comedy just rises to the top,” says Bowes.

The Gentleman Clothier is the last installment in what has been a very good summer line-up for the Upper Canada Playhouse. Its previous three plays were each solid hits and drew big crowds, and this last production has already had a big opening week.

There are still tickets available, though, for the remainder of its fourweek run, which ends Oct. 4, so anybody who might have been waiting until summer’s end to come out and enjoy a great production at one of the finest professional theatres in the country can buy tickets online at uppercanadaplayhouse.com or by calling 613-543-3713 or 1-877-550-3650.

The play is set in Halifax, with flashbacks to London, England, and

between the laughs, it invites the audience to think a little bit about Davenport, his life and circumstances and about the other equally thought-provoking characters and how they came to the point at which the audience finds them.

Norm Foster is one of the most popular, and prolific, playwrights in Canada. Nevertheless, Donnie Bowes, artistic director of Morrisburg’s Upper Canada Playhouse, tries not to feature more than one Foster play per season.

“We don’t want to become the Norm Foster Festival,” joked Bowes.

This summer, however, he had to make an exception. Although the playhouse featured a Foster play earlier this season – Hilda’s Yard, which played to sold out crowds and enthusiastic applause in June – Bowes just couldn’t resist putting another of the playwright’s great comedies in the theatre’s summer’s line-up.

“I was blown away by it,” says Bowes, remembering his reaction upon seeing a production of The Gentleman Clothier in Port Dover last year. “I thought it was a wonderful play. I had to make sure our audience saw it.”

Known as the ‘people’s playwright,’ Foster has made his name a surefire draw when it appears on a theatre marquee by writing so perceptively about the very people who come out to see his plays. His characters are readily recognizable and when combined with his incisive wit and clever storytelling, his work is at once funny and illuminating.

“It’s a wonderful story,” says Bowes. “There is a really wonderful journey that takes place for each one of the characters.”

The Gentleman Clothier premiered in Port Dover last year and debuted in Morrisburg last week. It is directed by Chris McHarge and stars Brian Young as the play’s eponymous clothier, Heather Hodgson, Sophia Fabiilli and Alan James Cooke. The perfectly-cast foursome of actors makes the most of a poignant but consistently funny script that tells the story of Norman Davenport, a middle-aged tailor about to realize the dream of owning his own shop.

The staid and upright Davenport is soon knocked for a loop when he takes on as assistants an aggressively modern young woman named Sophie as well as a sad young man with a heart-rending tale of woe who desperately needs a job. After rounding out his staff, Davenport engages his first customer, a wealthy and demanding middle-aged woman looking to outfit her husband in the best suit money can buy. It isn’t long before Davenport yearns for the days when life was simpler and the rest of the world more like him.

Life may not be simple for Davenport, but it sure is funny. It wouldn’t be a Foster play if the audience weren’t chuckling from the first act to the last, with a bunch of big laughs thrown in for good measure.

“If you can land those one-liners, the audience just explodes. It’s a wonderful feeling,” says Fabiilli, who,

Housing starts still trending up in Ontario: CMHC

Energy marketer pleads guilty to violating Prescott bylaw

A company has been fined $1,500 for unlicenced home solicitation in Prescott.

Summit Energy entered a guilty plea in provincial court in Brockville on Wednesday. A municipal bylaw requires anyone engaging in door-todoor sales to obtain a licence from the town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been working hard in recent years to enforce this bylaw and make sure that illegal door-todoor solicitation is stamped out in Prescott, as it has long been a source of frustration to the many residents who feel pressured by these sorts of sales tactics,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Brett Todd stated in a release. In commending bylaw officer David Swan and Grenville County OPP for their efforts, the mayor indicated that the conviction and fine

â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śis a strong message that we will not tolerate this sort of marketing in Prescott.â&#x20AC;?

The release did not specify the date on which the violation occurred.

Town residents who are visited by salespeople who cannot produce a valid licence issued by the municipality are asked to call the OPP at 1-888-3101122 or the town at 613-925-2812, ext. 6205 (or email bylaw@prescott. ca).

obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market, which can vary significantly from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 216,924 units in August, up from 193,253 units in July. The SAAR of urban starts increased by 13.6Â per cent in August to 201,312 units. Multi-unit urban starts increased by 19.5 per cent to 142,927 units in August, and the single-detached urban starts segment increased by 1.4Â per cent to 58,385 units.

In August, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Ontario, but decreased in British Columbia, the Prairies, Atlantic Canada and QuĂŠbec.

Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 15,612 units.

PRNE IC W E

The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 196,565 units in August compared to 185,642 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Housing starts have been trending up, supported by strong condominium activity in Toronto. This is in line with CMHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent forecasts that would see demand shift from new higher-priced single-detached homes towards lower-priced alternatives,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Dugan, CMHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief economist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While national starts have increased, housing construction has started to slow in Alberta and Saskatchewan as a result of weakening economic conditions related to the decline of oil prices.â&#x20AC;?

Several of the firemen greeted, cooked and waited on the public as more than 300 attended this event. Displays for fire prevention, fire engines and rescue vehicles were all available for children to ask questions about and sit in the driver’s seat.

No consensus at counties council on train whistles

Haley noted that a much bigger concern for Front of Yonge is the fact that longer freight trains can block all three county road crossings in the township at the same time, which has an obvious effect on emergency responders.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

The issue of train whistles resurfaced last week.

Leeds and Grenville council voted at a committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday morning to recommend that counties staff be directed to consult with CN Rail about the possibility of eliminating whistles at three county road level crossings located in Front of Yonge Township. The move involving county roads 4, 5 and 27 was in response to a request by township council.

Counties council will be asked at its meeting later this month to formally adopt the recommendation.

Les Shepherd, director of public works at the counties, indicated that a previous council had been asked by “private citizens” to consider a similar no-whistle request involving the crossing in Lansdowne. There were “serious reservations” at the council table about liability issues associated with removing train whistles as a safety device, according to Shepherd.

The three Front of Yonge crossings in question have barrier arms; Shepherd suggested the cost associated with eliminating train whistles there might not be significant.

Front of Yonge Mayor Roger Haley indicated there have been complaints from business and their clients about the noise.

The County Road 4 crossing is in Mallorytown. Haley does not believe train whistles are necessary given the presence of the lights and gates at the crossings.

Augusta Mayor Doug Malanka indicated that train whistles has been an issue in the township he represents and that he has been approached by residents who would like the subject to be re-examined.

In questioning the value of the technology, Malanka said there is a quality of life issue that he is not prepared to dismiss.

North Grenville Mayor and Leeds and Grenville Warden David Gordon noted that he lived next to a whistle stop for 20 years. “It didn’t affect my quality of life,” Gordon commented. Malanka responded by saying it took quite a while for he and his wife – who was a nurse working shifts – to get used to the whistles after relocat-

ing to Augusta from Barrhaven. The mayor indicated he might favour cessation of train whistles from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m. but not all day. He also raised the possibility that the initiative could include other municipalities in the United Counties.

By a show of hands, six council members voted in favour of the resolution.

Westport Mayor Robin Jones was one of the three who voted against the motion.

She told her peers that she was not comfortable making a decision about silencing train whistles when “a lot of assumptions” were being made about the merits of making such a move. The mayor called for reports that address the impact of cutting train whistles. “It is a public safety issue,” said Jones, a retired police officer.

Rideau Lakes Mayor Ron Holman noted that council members are not being asked to agree or disagree with eliminating the whistles in Front of Yonge; they are deciding whether or not to look into the process of considering the change. Agreeing to enter the process would not commit the counties to getting rid of the whistles.

According to a Transport Canada document included in the committee agenda package, “Train whistling is an important way to keep drivers, cyclists and pedestrians safe.” All trains are required to whistle when approaching public grade crossings.

“In some cases, these whistles can be bothersome to people living nearby and municipalities may wish to end the whistling to provide local residents with relief from the noise.”

There is an eight-step process to eliminate train whistles at public crossings.

By consulting with CN Rail, the counties would be at step 2. Step 3 would be to notify relevant agencies and issue a public notice declaring its intentions. As part of Step 4, the counties and CN Rail would assess the crossings and whether or not they meet the prescribed whistling cessation requirements.

Autumn fix likely for Hardy Park play structure

By TIM RUHNKE

truhnke@metroland.com

It will cost in the range of $102,000 to repair damage to the play structure at Hardy Park, Mayor David Henderson told city council last Tuesday night.

That area of the waterfront park remains taped off following an early-morning fire on Aug. 14. In noting the cost estimate information became available on Tuesday afternoon, the mayor indicated that the city is still considering its options on how to proceed.

The city has a deductible of $50,000 as part of its property insurance coverage. A decision on whether or not to file a claim has not been made, according to Henderson.

However, the mayor indicated that it appears the play structure is repairable this fall. The rubber base that sustained major damage in the fire would be replaced next spring or summer.

Numerous groups and individuals have expressed an interest in contributing to the project; that support was again acknowledged by Henderson at the meeting on Tuesday.

The playground was a partnership involving the city, its accessibility committee and the May Court Club several years ago. About $130,000 was invested in the project at the time.

The mayor said an announcement on how the city will proceed with the repair job would hopefully be nailed down next week.

“So hang tight,” Henderson remarked.

A 15-year-old female has been charged with arson in connection with the fire. City police reported on the day of the fire that a witness had observed a group of younger people exiting the park a short time before police arrived at the scene.

that proceeds from the poker run have gone to palliative care.

The annual rally organized by the Kroot family with the support of relatives, friends, sponsors, participants and landowners has now raised about $19,000 for charities in the Brockville area.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark will serve as one of the two deputy leaders of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party.

House and shadow cabinet roles for members of the provincial Tory caucus were announced by leader Patrick Brown last Thursday. Brown, who was elected party leader in the spring, won the recent byelection in Simcoe North and is now a member of the provincial legislature. The fall session opened on Monday.

Clark, who has been serving as opposition house leader, was also named critic for tourism, culture and sport. The other deputy leader is Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones.

“I’m proud of the confidence Patrick has placed in me to work alongside him and our caucus as we continue to hold the government to account and put forward our ideas to get Ontario back on track,” Clark stated in a release issued Friday.

The local MPP indicated that his new critic’s role is wellsuited given the riding he represents. “Leeds-Grenville is a prime destination for visitors to Ontario and the jobs and investment tourism supports makes it a critical sector of our local economy.”

Jim Wilson, who served as the interim party leader following the departure of Tim Hudak, was named house leader. In addition to being the opposition leader, Brown is the PC critic for education and training, colleges and universities.

Help prevent suicide by recognizing the warning signs

By DOREEN BARNES

In 2011, 1.7 million Canadians had suicidal thoughts and, of that number, 4,400 of those individuals were your neighbours. According to the statistical rate, 4,400 Brockville residents were having suicidal thoughts.

“People cannot just stick their head in the sand and say that this would not happen in their family,” said Anne Longtin, family support/public education, Canadian Mental Health Association. “That’s why educational programs are so important, especially the warning signs.”

Brockville General Hospital (BGH) along with Children’s Mental Health Services of Leeds and Grenville, Open Doors–for Lanark Children and Youth, Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Addictions and Mental Health, Lanark County Mental Health, United Way, Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Canadian Mental Health Association of Leeds and Grenville came together to recognize World Suicide Prevention Day, Sept. 10, with a week-long series of educational workshops.

The topics related to seniors, youth, children, self-harm, addictions, preventative workshops including safeTalk and ASIST. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for persons aged 15 to 24, mostly men.

The second highest rate of suicide is

Photo by DOREEN BARNES

Co-ordinated by Brockville General Hospital social worker Charles Massey (left), the week-long prevention workshops were presented from Tuesday to Friday. Anne Longtin (right), family support and pubic education with the Canadian Mental Health Association, spoke on Suicide and Families on Thursday, Sept. 10 – World Suicide Prevention Day. Many agencies joined in the workshops and brought their expertise to the public.

men over the age of 70 and for women the ages are 40-55.

Another statistic is that 90 per cent of people commit suicide in their own home.

Longtin’s presentation focused on suicide and how it can relate to families.

Some reasons or triggers why people consider suicide are: death of a loved one, family problems, relationship breakup and social isolation, financial issues, substance abuse, physical abuse/ verbal abuse, sexual abuse/assault, depression or a permanent solution to a usually temporary problem.

“A lot of people do not understand that most people give signs, leading up to suicide,” shared Longtin. “There are also myths that we have to counteract.

People who are suicidal want to die; if someone talks about suicide they won’t really do it; only certain types of people commit suicide. Alcohol or drug users don’t typically commit suicide, all false.”

Both Longtin and BGH social worker Charles Massey believe that families and close friends will be the first people to notice if their family member or friends show warning signs of suicide, a mental health issue.

“Someone who knows the person well, will note the shifts,” said Massey.

“Changes in eating, sleeping pattern, subtle changes or interest in things the person liked to enjoy, hygiene and all of

a sudden they do not want to go out.”

Some warning signs are emotional changes, social withdrawal, recklessness, increase in drug or alcohol use, change in school or job performance, threats of suicide or previous attempt, fighting or breaking the law, giving away possessions, preoccupation with death, worthlessness, hopelessness, helplessness, loneliness, tunnel vision or verbalizing, I wish I were dead, everyone will be better off without me, all of my problems will end soon and no one can do anything to help me.

“This is why we talk to families, because they know the person best,” indicated Longtin. “They may go to work and put on a pretty good show, but when they come home they are a different person. You have watched these changes, sometimes very gradual, sometimes not so gradual. The family unit is where people quite often are able to see these signs first and that is why it is so important that they know the signs and symptoms of depression or other mental health issues. Most problems we have in life are temporary, and there’s hope.”

Longtin mentioned the Mental Health Crisis Team at 613-345-4600, available 24 hours, seven days a week and how it can assist people in connecting to the right agency.

“All you have to do is ask,” said Longtin.

Hi! My name is Sandy! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a two-year-old Beagle cross.

In the Meet-Your-Match Program Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Green Go-Getter.

Want to get more exercise? Action is my middle name. My â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GO!â&#x20AC;? life style will keep you motivated to get outside and move. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got tons of energy; and just like the sun, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m burning and working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run for miles, chase a ball for hours, and still want to play at the end of the day.

My adoption fee includes the cost of my surgery, microchip identification, de-worming and flea/tick protection, my first set of vaccinations, and six weeks of complimentary pet insurance. Come by the Ontario SPCA - Leeds & Grenville Branch, located at 800 Centennial Road, Brockville, to see about adopting me.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes just asking the question, are you thinking of suicide?â&#x20AC;? said Massey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are ways to ask. For example, have you been thinking about suicide?

Are you so sad that you have been thinking about killing yourself? The question must be asked directly as it makes it more real to verbalize it.â&#x20AC;?

Massey continued to say not to interrogate the person; engage in a conversation leading to the direct question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of care, compassion and concern that you would ask the question,â&#x20AC;? said Longtin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a relief for the person, as finally they can talk about it and it could be the beginning of healing for

Clara von Maltzahn, age 14

Does this illness limit your activities?

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in gym class at school and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play soccer but I have other activities that I am dedicated to. I have sailing, horseback riding and skiing. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop moving because I have arthritis.

What do you say to other kids when they ask why you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate at school?

I just explain that I have a medical condition.

Sometimes bad things happen to people that means they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything but I can do other activities, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been inspired by my time at CHEO so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be a doctor. It would be wonderful to take care of people less fortunate than me. If my arthritis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad I would very much like to make other people feel better.

Why should people support the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery?

So kids can have a brighter future. They should be able to fulfill their dreams and shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stopped because they have a medical condition.

IMAGINE â&#x20AC;&#x153; I CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WHERE Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D BE WITHOUT CHEO. â&#x20AC;?

Love you forever, Terry

FLAHERTY, Carol Anne - In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother, who left us five years ago August 27, 2010.

You were a precious gift from God above, So much beauty, grace and love.

You touched our hearts in so many ways, Your smile so bright even on the bad days.

You heard God’s whisper calling you home, You didn’t want to go and leave us alone.

You loved us so much, you held on tight, Till all the strength was gone And you could no longer fight.

He had called your name twice before, You knew you couldn’t make Him wait anymore.

So you gave your hand to God. And slowly drifted away, Knowing that with our love We will be together again some day.

Sadly missed by your loving husband Karl, and sons Karl, Kevin and Michael.

HUNTING SUPPLIES

NANCY WARD RUNNING We cried the day you passed away, You were strong for oh so long; Holding on so tightly, You never wanted to let go.

But God decided you needed your rest, And brought you home to heaven to see those you missed; Down here we miss you so very much, Your smile, your laughter, your great big heart; The words, “I love you” leaving your lips.

We feel that you’ve missed out on so much, Birthdays, holidays, weddings and grandchildren.

But we’ve come to realize, the words you told us were true.

Dragonfly wings flutter past us almost everyday.

The words, “I Love You” drifting off your wings.

When there are none around, we feel you all around, As the beautiful angel you’ve become.

We love and miss you so much.

Love your husband Ray, your son Taylor, your daughter Carlina, her husband Kyle, your grandchildren Emily and Ciaran, your father Ronnie and Joanie, your friends Brian and Laura, Linda and George, Dave and Donna, Judy and your in-laws Hope and Brian.

Prosser, Donald Carl - In memory of Donald Carl Prosser, February 1965 to September 25, 2004.

Much loved Son, Brother and Uncle.

Deep in our hearts there’s a picture, More precious than silver or gold.

‘Tis a picture of a dear son and brother, Whose memory will never grow old.

Forever loved and missed, Mom and Stuart and Great Eight Plus.

Portion of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book sales supports Alzheimer program Tales tell an exciting story of imaginary events, objects or things, and The Hummingbird Catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tale is a delightful read; a fantasy born from a nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest.

In addition to writing the book, author Margaret Anne Barrance is donating a portion of the sales to the Alzheimer Society Day Away Program.

She works with people that have dementia or are on the verge of having dementia, so she wanted to find a way to help, yet use her writing skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never written a book,â&#x20AC;? said Barrance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a book as it is in poem form, because I write poetry. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never written anything for children, but I actually dreamt about looking down and seeing this thing on my sweater. It was a little kitten with wings.â&#x20AC;?

Barrance said that the vision was very vivid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop thinking about it (Hummingbird Cat) as it kept coming into my mind,â&#x20AC;? added Barrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no story to my dream, I just saw the cat with what looked like hummingbird wings.â&#x20AC;?

The verses reveal a little girl, April, with her family on a stunning tropical beach, surrounded by sand, heavenly sounds, written with a hidden message.

As the story goes, Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, a conservationist helped with the migration of the Hummingbird Cats to Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I belong to a poetry group in Smiths Falls, Vine Rhymes, and I read part one to them and they said, what happens next?â&#x20AC;? indicated Barrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought

about it which evolved into part two and three. So the message is to help keep the endangered species safe and protected.â&#x20AC;?

This book is now being used by Grade two in one of the area schools.

As for an illustrator, Barrance chose Natalia Starikova, because her sample pieces were vibrant, colourful, exactly what she was looking for to accompany and express her precious words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the cover, I told Natalia that I wanted a hibiscus flower with the Hummingbird Cat, Brave Tigger and she put in a ladybug and the colours,â&#x20AC;? explained Barrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave her the basics, what I wanted in it like April sitting on the beach with the Hummingbird Cat landing on her arm and April seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. What I like is Natalia put toys, pets and quilt on the pages.â&#x20AC;?

The reaction to the book by children and adults has been positive and encouraging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My four-year-old granddaughter likes to have this book read to her every night,â&#x20AC;? said Barrance.

This book is available through Amazon, Friesen Press, as well as Leeds County Books in Brockville.

As well, Barrance is writing another short interactive story with April in it, titled Umbrella May, for young girls.

Her hope is to release this second book before Christmas.

Anyone interested in meeting Barrance can at a book-signing on SaturPhoto by DOREEN BARNES day, Sept. 19, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., in the movie lounge of the Wedgewood Retire- The Hummingbird Catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tale author Margaret Anne ment Resort in downtown Brockville, Barrance shares her poetry to benefit the Alzheimer with entry via Market Street.

Costly repairs and tow packages - Car Counsellor weighs in on reader concerns â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, First, I like your articles in the papers. Maybe you can help me. I have a 1997 Ford F150 pickup that I bought new with only 70k with a 4.2 L engine. My problem - it has an intake manifold leak and is hissing and been like this for some time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had conflicting reports as what this will cost to repair. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had no problems passing the clean air (emissions) test. The truck is in excellent condition, good paint, auto-trans, cruise, and power windows. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 4 wheel drive.  The highest offer Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had is $2,000 as is.

Would it pay me to fix it and what do you think it would cost to do so.â&#x20AC;? Thanking you, Lawrence This is a common problem on older Ford trucks and you will probably have to replace the manifold gaskets. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an upper and lower set and if they all require replacement youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be looking at around $600 to $750 but if the lower cast manifold is done, that part alone is another $1,000. â&#x20AC;¨Â â&#x20AC;¨Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d advise against leaving this unrepaired as your engine probably has one or more cylinders running lean due to excessive air intake, which can overheat the

valves and pistons. As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told many people before, driving anything over 10 years old in this country is like playing the lottery. So before submitting your wallet to a major repair bill, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend considering the alternatives. With new vehicle engine and fuel technology, what you might potentially save in gas bills may cover a considerable portion of a monthly payment on a newer truck. â&#x20AC;¨If you want to be sure, get a safety inspection done by a qualified shop (along with a drive-train check over) and if the estimate for any required repairs is close to the current wholesale value of the truck, replacement may be the way to go.

What Would I Want For My Final Meal?

In Thunder Bay, Ontario, recently, while giving a talk, I suddenly found my mouth watering. I mentioned that I was just 150 miles away from Quetico Park where I had spent two months alone years ago doing ďŹ sh research. I said that the highest priced meal in the world could not compete with a yellow pickerel cooked over a camp ďŹ re. Which now brings me to the health beneďŹ ts of eating ďŹ sh today.

We are often told we should eat ďŹ sh as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good choice for lean Dr. Gifford-Jones protein. People in Iceland eat a whopping 220 pounds of ďŹ sh a year. The average North American eats a paltry 16 pounds annually, including ďŹ sh sticks! This difference is in part due to the current worry about potential dangers.

For instance, mercury accumulates in the lean tissue of some ďŹ sh and it can cross the placental barrier during pregnancy.

So too much mercury can cause fetal brain damage. In adults, excessive amounts can injure the heart.

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are found in the fatty tissue of ďŹ sh and animal examination shows they can cause cancer. Researchers are concerned that these agents may be carcinogenic in humans and also trigger neurological problems.

But there are still many health beneďŹ ts from eating ďŹ sh. Two major research groups, the Harvard School of Public Health and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) analyzed the pros and cons of ďŹ sh in the diet.

Harvard researchers found adequate evidence that eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), two omega-3 fatty acids in ďŹ sh, were important for good vision, the immune response, normal skin physiology and for fetal and infant development. And aboriginals who have a high dietary intake of ďŹ sh have less heart disease.

Another study reported in Archives of Ophthalmology showed that women who ate ďŹ sh three times a week had a 42 percent lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people.

A study at the University of Pittsburgh should also prompt more people to visit ďŹ sh counters. MRI scans of the brains of those eating broiled or baked ďŹ sh, but not fried, had greater volumes of gray matter in the brainĂ­s frontal and temporal lobes.

This matter is responsible for memory and learning. These are the areas severely affected in AlzheimerĂ­s disease.

So although there is some contamination from eating ďŹ sh, the beneďŹ t far outweighs the small risk. A healthy diet should include two three-ounce servings of ďŹ sh a week.

One cautionary note for pregnant and nursing mothers is that mercury is more likely to be present in the ďŹ&#x201A;esh of large long-living ďŹ sh that prey on smaller short-living ones. So mothers should decline mackerel, shark, swordďŹ sh and tileďŹ sh also known as golden bass.

But smaller ďŹ sh contain large amounts of the fatty acid DHA essential for fetal development. Pregnant women should therefore eat 12 ounces of other types of ďŹ sh and shellďŹ sh each week.

The rest of us should know that not all ďŹ sh are created equal. For instance, a three-ounce serving of farmed salmon contains over 2,000 milligrams (mg) of omega-3 fats. But the same amount of shrimp eaten more than any other type of seafood by North Americans has only 250 mg., catďŹ sh 150mg. and lobster 71 mg.

Arctic char provide more vitamin D than any other ďŹ sh, with scallops a close second. Oysters are the highest in vitamin B12 and iron. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat tuna for its high potassium content and for calcium no ďŹ sh can match crawďŹ sh. And if youĂ­re looking for ďŹ sh with high amounts of magnesium, which protects against fatal cardiac arrhythmias, order tuna or crawďŹ sh. But if you suffer from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cholesterolphobiaâ&#x20AC;? donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t order crawďŹ sh, scallops or arctic char.

Looking at the total picture, eating ďŹ sh still provides a healthy meal. But although ďŹ sh is good for us, humans have not been so kind to ďŹ sh. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re continuing to pollute their environment and ďŹ sh stocks are falling.

Do I have a last request before I leave this planet? Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Heaven with lots of lakes loaded with yellow pickerel. I hope the Almighty is listening.

trailer (1150 kg GVWR). I found a good web-site “onlinetowingguide.com” that lists towing capacities for all manufacturers, for the current and previous two model years. On some of the listings a notation is made that a towing package is required.

For example, the 2013 Toyota Highlander has a 2000 lb towing capacity with a 3.5L V-6 engine, but with the towing package the rating increases to 5000 lbs. My questions are: (1) what exactly do these towing packages contain: and (2) can it be safely installed on a used vehicle?

Thanks Martin Thanks for the great question.

Towing packages vary from maker to maker and from model to model. Sometimes they’re as simple as a beefier transmission Photo by TIM RUHNKE oil cooler (which can easily be added after the fact) and sometimes they’re more involved, Jeff Byrd wins the first-place ribbon in the mammoth pumpkin competition at the Spen- with things like more powerful

alternators, different transmission final-drive ratios, heavier suspension, and stronger axles (just to name a few). No matter what tow-packages entail on your short-list vehicles and no matter how easy or cheap they may be to install, no carmaker will increase the towing capacity of their products after they’ve left the factory in terms of warranty or operational recommendations. First, few if any carmakers will even provide a detailed list of components that make up their towing packages.

When considering a late model used vehicle, you need to be concerned about voiding any remaining manufacturer’s warranty and towing in excess of the weight limit is a sure way to do it. My advice would be to find something that is rated to tow your trailer and still allow for a 20 per cent reserve because you may buy a newer heavier trailer in the future or you may find

some heavy-weight treasures on your adventures that you want to bring home with you.

New hockey league hits the ice The regular season has begun in what used to be the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL).

Restructuring of the regional junior hockey landscape after the 2014-2015 season brought an end to the existing Jr. B EOJHL and its four divisions (Rideau, St. Lawrence, Metro and Valley). The new Tier 2 Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL2) consists of two eightteam divisions. Making the move from the EOJHL Rideau Division to the CCHL2 Richardson Division are the Athens Aeros, Brockville Tikis, Prescott Flyers and Westport Rideaus. They join Arnprior, Perth, Renfrew and Stittsville.

The CCHL2 Martin Division includes former Jr. B St. Lawrence Division teams Alexandria, Casselman, Char-Lan and Winchester. Clarence, Metcalfe,

Ottawa and Ottawa West are also in that division.

The Gananoque Islanders, also formerly of the Rideau Division, are now in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League. The Morrisburg Lions played in the St. Lawrence Division; Morrisburg is now in the National Capital Junior Hockey League.

Westport visited the Ottawa Canadians on Tuesday night, and the Prescott-Brockville rivalry resumed at the memorial centre on Wednesday night.

Also on the CCHL2 schedule, Westport is home to Winchester on Friday at 8 p.m. The Tikis host Alexandria in Brockville on Saturday at 7:15 p.m.

Prescottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home-opener against Renfrew is on Saturday at 7:30. Athens will host Westport on Sunday night at 7:30.

Honouring Jim Lewars at North Augusta ball diamond

The large crowd that gathered to watch the Oldtimers Labour Day Fastball tournament in North Augusta recently took some time out to honour a long-time fan and supporter of baseball in the community. The family of the late Jim Lewars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from left, Joe Jordan, Debbie Jordan, Sandy Lewars and Mark Lewars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were on hand to accept several honours on his behalf. When the ceremony was first planned, it was expected that Jim would be there to accept the honour himself, specifically for directing all the memorial donations made in the name of his late wife, Darlo, who passed away last summer, to the North Augusta Recreation Committee. Sadly, Jim passed away in August. So the plaques recognizing his generosity were presented to his family. Also, another plaque honouring Jim will be placed at the ball diamond in North Augusta, near where he always sat to watch the games. As well, organizers of the annual Labour Day fastball tournament took the opportunity to announce that one of the most prized trophies handed out each year, the one recognizing the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP, will henceforth be called the Jim Lewars Memorial Trophy.
