Number-one ranking in world is cool: Brooke Henderson

By DOREEN BARNES

Sports – The world’s number one ranked women’s amateur golfer – who just happens to hail from Smiths Falls – was in Brockville on Saturday participating in a charity event in support of the local St. John Ambulance capital campaign.

Prior to teeing off in a foursome at the Brockville Country Club, 17-yearold Brooke Henderson told St. Lawrence News she couldn’t be more pleased with how her career has played out so far.

“This has been a pretty cool experience,” said Henderson. “My life is amazing. I mean, I get to travel all summer and all winter long. I have great teammates on the National Team that I have made good friends with. We get along really well.

Then to be able to play in these tournaments; to be able to compete and have a ranking of number one in the world is pretty cool and pretty exciting.”

Henderson feels that she still has a long way to go, as she wants to play in the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour and to have a successful career.

She recognizes she still has a lot of hard work to do and she is excited to continue. Even with Henderson’s remarkable summer, she doesn’t take anything for granted.

“I’m very fortunate and blessed to have a support system around me that is very strong,” she said. “My parents and my older sister Brittany are huge role models for me. At my National Team I have six coaches; two swing coaches, a physiotherapist, a psychologist, a nutritionist and a fitness trainer. I also have such a

supportive community, not only Smiths Falls, but all of Eastern Ontario.”

Henderson commented that the local public is all behind her and she’s grateful to be in the position she’s in.

As far as pressure with being ranked number one, Henderson admitted she tries to be the best she can be all the time.

Some are saying that she’s going to be the future face of Canadian golf. To have that pressure, she feels that she’s doing something right.

Mature well beyond her years, Henderson didn’t hesitate to answer any questions she was asked and has given way to being nervous at tournaments.

She has become more comfortable playing at LPGA events.

“Two years ago, no, I guess three years ago I played in my first event when I was 14 years old and I was very, very nervous, but since then I have gotten to know a lot of the players well,” said Henderson. “I have friends on there now, which is really cool. Lorie Kane has been such a huge role model for all Canadian golfers and people from all around the world. I mean I can text or call her whenever I want and she’s always there for me.”

One of Henderson’s highlights this past summer was reaching the final of the U.S. Women’s Amateur championship.

The grueling format saw her compete in two rounds of stroke play followed by another six rounds of match play – going head-to-head with an opponent. Henderson said match play, as far as the mindset is concerned, is a whole different game and is nothing compared to stroke play.

“There are a lot more mental games

Sports – A golfing sweetheart she is and the large galleries at the Brockville Country Club on Saturday reflect golfing sensation Brooke Henderson’s growing popularity.

Henderson, 17 from Smiths Falls, served as honourary chair of the St. John Ambulance Caring for Our Community Capital Campaign, Riverside GMC $1 Million Hole-in-One Challenge. She also agreed agreed to a charity golf match.

Ranked number one in the world’s women amateur golf rankings, Henderson played in this charity match as a way to support the community.

“David Dargie, who has been a big major force behind it (campaign) was at my high school one day and asked me,” said Henderson. “I love helping out my community and I saw this as a great chance to do that.”

The foursome included the club’s oldest active member, 94-year-old John Williams, a golfing wonder who has 11 holes in one, along with the winner of a ticket draw Pat Markovich, campaign Co-ordinator Dargie and Henderson. They teed off around 12 noon.

The nine-hole match became very interesting as there was the three-hole challenge plus nearing the end, the two men played against the two ladies. We all know who won!

As the game came to a close, the three wished that perhaps in the future they could have a rematch with Henderson.

Following the golf game, a meet and greet was set up in the club’s Golf Lounge for fans to talk with Henderson, get her autograph or have a photo taken with her.

For anyone interested in viewing the footage of this golf game, the TVCogeco Tee’d Off team captured this match and will be airing soon with host Dargie.

Henderson From front page

He has always been there for the two. She attributes his role in helping her close the Porter Cup championship with a eyepopping 62 on the final day.

Henderson feels the national team development program through Golf Canada has been a huge factor for her.

“I joined the National Team when I was 14 years old and six months later I won my first official event and then I played in the first tournament,” said Henderson. “So it shows how important all that coaching is and all that support is.”

Henderson would love the idea of her and sister Brittany both playing on the LPGA tour one day. “That’s definitely a huge dream and we are both trying to chase after it,” shared Henderson. “Both of us playing up there would be a lot of fun.”

Having a sister nearby who understands the game and the pressure can also help with advice.

“I love having her there because she knows what to say when I’m not playing very well and to get me going,” said Henderson. “She knows what to say when I’m playing really well to keep me going. An example of that was the 62 at the Porter Cup and she came in the last day and I got on a roll and she kept me there.”

For relaxation, Henderson likes to be at school with her friends and they keep her grounded. She says they are awesome. She does admit she does not take a lot of time off from golf as she loves the sport and being able to play.

Henderson plays golf every day that she can. For the winter months she will be heading to Florida to practice and train.

Next for the world’s number one ranked women’s amateur golfer will be playing in the World Juniors next week which she is looking forward to. Then she has a big decision to make.

“After the World Junior, I have to decide whether I should go to school in Florida which I’m committed to or to turn professional and start my dream a little earlier,” said Henderson.

“It’s a big decision, but I’m excited for it.”

During the 2014 golf season Henderson captured seven amateur titles, the Canadian professional Women’s Tour Ontario, the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada, finished T10 at the Women’s U.S. Open, runner-up at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship and gold medalist in the World Amateur Championship, just to name a few.

Two in a row for Team Jacobs at Shorty Jenkins Classic

Sports - The Brad Jacobs rink successfully defended its AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title at the Brockville Country Club this past weekend. The Sault Ste. Marie-based foursome of Jacobs, Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden defeated Adam Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rink from Summerside, P.E.I. in the final on Sunday afternoon. Gord McCrady (middle), chair of the local bonspiel, presents the trophy to Jacobs (right of McCrady) and the team. Jacobs said it was a great way to start the 20142015 competitive curling season. Sherry Middaughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rink from Coldwater won the ladies championship with a victory over Eve Muirheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rink from Scotland. Jacobs described the Brockville event as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a first-class event,â&#x20AC;? adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;they show amazing hospitality.â&#x20AC;? McCrady said he and the many volunteers are proud of the success of the bonspiel and the response from the participants. Shorty always said keep the curlers happy, according to McCrady. Every effort is made to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make their stay in Brockville a great experience,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Lifestyle - Under sunny skies Friday, Sept. 19, St. Mary Catholic High School welcomed Grade 9 students by having a Brown’s Bay Day coordinated by the senior students and the Crusader Council. About 130 Grade 9 students and 45 volunteers came together to either participate or conduct the team games, as a welcome into the Crusader family.

The games included working as a team, instructing team members from the sidelines, trust, getting slightly wet, using strength, being creative and having fun. At left, braving the St. Lawrence River water, Dylan Wooller walked around a child’s swimming pool of water, chocolate cake mix, pancake syrup and oil to find the packages of black Jelly Beans. Above, during the Queen Frosting game, a member from the opposing teams, Alexis Wharton (left) and Darby Mallory (right), while blindfolded, try to find white mints.

Letter to the Editor

Policing is a vital issue in city election DEAR EDITOR:

A vital issue that Citizens Offering Police Support (COPS) hopes will be taken up by Brockville voters in the upcoming municipal election concerns what form this community’s policing service will take in the future.

The word service is highlighted for a reason: that’s what Brockville residents have always focused on with their 182-year-old municipal police department. Yes, the rising cost of policing is a con-

cern here as it is everywhere in the province, but cost is not the sole measure of the value of local policing. The reason Brockville has its own police department is it has always provided the best services at a cost that taxpayers figure the community can afford.

That allows the community to make its own decisions about local policing, under the governance of the Brockville Police Services Board, focusing on serving Brockville residents only, rather than See LETTER page 9

With Fire Prevention Week just around the corner, there will soon be a flood of public service announcements that emphasize the importance of having a working smoke alarm in each level of the home. Ask just about any fire chief or fire prevention officer and he or she can tell you about how many times they respond to calls and find that a smoke detector has been disconnected or the battery has been removed or is dead. We’re not talking about a high-maintenance item here; the time it takes to ensure the safety device is in place and works is negligible.

For those of us who get annoyed when the alarm goes off while something is cooking on the stove or is being taken out of the oven, we need to figure out a way to deal with it. Taking out the battery or getting rid of the unit out of frustration is not the solution. The bottom line is that smoke alarms save lives, and putting up with the minor inconvenience of testing the detectors twice a year and changing the batteries on a regular basis is a very small price to pay. The reason fire departments keep delivering the message is because they know what the consequences of not having a working smoke alarm can be. Firefighters will stop delivering the message when they see that everyone is taking their advice. Many departments can provide detectors and batteries if money is an issue; fire officials can also outline the provincial regulations that apply and offer advice on suitable locations for placement of the units. If the municipality does not list that information on its web site, call the municipal office and they’ll point you in the right direction.

Not having sufficient smoke alarms in place is a provincial offence; more importantly, it’s an unnecessary risk. Take the advice of fire officials and install detectors; your life could depend on it.

Tuesday was the day to undertake the ritual of ironing

Lifestyle - It never failed. Every Tuesday morning, Mother lamented all through breakfast about the job ahead.

The washing had been done the day before: on Monday.

It mattered not if it had hailed, snowed, rained, or the wind blew at a gale force, Monday was wash day, and that’s all there was to it. And that made Tuesday the day to do the ironing, and it was the one household chore Mother hated with a passion. It had little to do with the job itself, it had everything to do with the irons she had to use.

These were clunky, heavy lumps of iron, oval shaped, and to use them there was a clamped handle that fitted over the base, and the clamp, when released hugged the iron, making it secure and ready to use. The handle had to be separate, because there were always at least

three bases sitting on the stove getting hot.

On Monday night, the iron bases were put right on the front burner of the Findlay Oval, so that they could absorb as much heat off the stove as possible, ready for the morning ironing.

Mother had seen the latest in irons through the kitchen door at a neighbour’s house on the next line, but had no intention of ever getting something

Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104 General Manager Seaway Gavin Beer gbeer@perfprint.ca Editor in Chief Ryland Coyne

she was sure could blow up the old log house as quick as a wink if it took the notion. It was an iron with a container attached to it, which held gas, and that heated the iron...no siree, Mother wasn’t going to take a chance on one of those new-fangled contraptions! As much as she hated the irons she used on the farm, at least they were safe! She had enough to worry about with the coal oil lamps, which she always treated with great respect.

The clothes would have been taken off the line late day on Monday, and neatly folded in at least two hampers.

Washing for seven people meant there would always be plenty of laundry. And of course, the clothes had to be folded and piled in order. Heaven forbid that the sparkling white tea towels should ever come in contact with something of

a darker colour. Not because the colours would run, but simply because that’s the way it was done back then. Like colours together, and the whites separate from everything else!

Mother would have the kitchen ready for the ironing before we headed out for school. Two straight-backed chairs would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware...ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used flannelette sheets, and topped with one or two opened-up white flour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs, and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday.

Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape.

These were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed.

These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe, and the hand-embroidered pillow cases.

Even the hems of the flour-bag sheets would be ironed.

Great Canadian Meatball event helps United Way

Events - It’s almost time for the Great Canadian Meatball Challenge.

The United Way of Leeds and Grenville fundraiser will take place at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School on Thursday, Oct. 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. Local restaurants will be pitting their creations against each

other in this mouth-watering event that is open to the public. Chef Hill and culinary students at the school will provide the sauce. The spaghetti dinner includes roll and drink; there is also a silent auction.

A panel of judges that includes local mayors will determine which

restaurant is crowned meatball champion.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under; admission is free for kids three and under. A family pass is $20. Tickets can be purchased in advance at myFM on Kate Street and the Boys & Girls Club of Gananoque

on King Street East as well as at the United Way office on George Street in Brockville; call 613-342-8889 for more information or to use Visa or Mastercard to secure tickets.

The Leeds & Grenville organization has set $1.1 million as its 2014 campaign goal.

LETTER As for an OPP option, Brockville voters should also be asking candidates why so many municipalities are complaining about OPP costs, including the new proposed “new” billing model? Why are some seeking out other policing services to replace the OPP? One example close to home is the Town of Perth, which disbanded its municipal force just last year and is now joining Lanark County to seek a costing from Ottawa police.

Will the OPP service match what’s provided now, including bylaw enforcement, or quick response to minor crimes or complaints about noise? Make sure a comparison includes the level of service as well as dollar values.

It is not a matter of retaining the status quo with the local police department. We don’t subscribe to that idea, nor do the Brockville Police Service and Brockville Police Services Board.

A number of initiatives have been undertaken to find savings and these deserve the community’s attention and praise.

It’s time for Brockville voters to ask candidates seeking election, to state their position on this critical issue.

MARY From page 8

When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board.

At one end of the board was a saucer, and here Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual.

When we came home from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes.

The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs, and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday.

On the bake table, would be the neat stack of freshly ironed tea towels, the boys and Father’s shirts neatly folded, the pillow slips, and anything else that needed to have one of those heavy irons passed over it. And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking

clean aprons at the ready.

The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again.

Mother would be dead tired that night...having stood most of the day over the ironing board.

My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away, and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

opt for a regional service provided by the Ontario Provincial Police that affords no local decision-making about services or costs.

Why haven’t citizens been asked what they want for police service?

Now is the time for Brockville residents to ask those questions and others, with the municipal election five weeks away. COPS members urge Brockville residents to join them in taking the policing issue to city council candidates to find out where they stand. More than 1,500 local residents have already signed petitions to retain the Brockville Police Service and COPS will be looking for more backing over the next several weeks when the all-volunteer committee takes petitions door to door across the city.

We expect the support shown for our local force will be even stronger and evident in the campaign leading up to the Oct. 27 election of Brockville’s next nine-member council.

Citizens should never underestimate their ability to influence local decisionmaking. We think local electors need to show the same determination to make their will known in their selection of the next council.

It will be a tremendous opportunity as well to highlight the efforts of the Brockville Police Service to bring savings to its operation, to spark discussion of the level of service city residents want, and to consider the importance of local governance through the Brockville Police Services Board.

Food and Fees campaign runs until Oct. 12 News - Our Kenyan Kids is holding a Food and Fees Campaign which started on Sept. 21 and continues until Oct. 12.

The funds raised will be targeted towards school and education programs that Our Kenyan Kids support in Africa.

“Our Kenyan Kids believes in helping children and youth in Kenya living in extreme poverty reach their potential through the provision of food and required school fees,” explains board member Carolyn Matheson.

They are a locally based charity that truly goes above and beyond, dedicated to improving the lives of the children in Kenya, often one child at a time.

“Our organization supports a variety of projects in Kenya including three

schools that struggle to provide enough food to feed their students,” explained Matheson. “There are also many families who find it difficult or are unable to pay required school fees or purchase the needed uniforms to attend school.”

They have reached out to area churches, service groups and local media to participate; inviting congregations and communities to participate in the “Food and Fees Campaign” hoping to raise awareness as well as the much needed funds.

Matheson further explains, “The Food and Fees campaign aims to raise funds to supplement food shortages faced by many of the projects supported by Our Kenyan Kids. In addition, Our Kenyan Kids supports two schools in Kenya

dedicated to helping orphans and vulnerable children and also a school working with hearing impaired children.”

“Our Food and Fees Campaign is focused on giving children and youth the chance to reach their potential,” says Beth Kent, chair of Our Kenyan Kids, “Education can give vulnerable children the building blocks needed to become self-sufficient.”

The schools that they support offer a variety of skill based trades and academic training. This training will help to ensure that all children, regardless of their abilities, are offered the best chance possible at success.

The schools provide boarding for their students, therefore children who would otherwise be forced to live on

the streets, not knowing how or when they will find their next meal, are able to remain in the school, in a safe environment.

“I can’t imagine not being afforded the opportunity to learn” says Kent.

“Nor can I imagine being a child and having to worry about where I am going to get my next morsel of food.”

Should you be interested in learning more, or perhaps you would like to join them on their next Project Experience Trip. It is an amazing opportunity to experience firsthand what life is truly like for the children in Kenya.

“Our Project Experience Trips are a great way to have an opportunity to not only learn about the work that Our Kenyan Kids is accomplishing but also to

have the opportunity to learn from our friends in Kenya,” says Matheson.

The trip is usually completed in about 2-1/2 weeks. Participants get a chance to see Kenya first hand, experience the markets, see the city as well as he rural areas including the settlement. It is an eye-opening experience that everyone should see at least one time in their lives.

In addition, the trip always incorporates a small three-day, two-night safari trip into the mix, right about half way through the adventure. A chance to see the beauty of the wildlife and vegetation of Africa is a much-needed break for many after experiencing the disparities See HELPING HAND page 11

Historical Brockville chosen for TVO program

By DOREEN BARNES

News – Balestra Production was in Brockville during August to tape an episode of Les Jumelles, a televised educational show which involved four local individuals, two teams racing.

Thirteen-year-old Zackary Paradis of Mallorytown and 14-year-old Francis Lalonde of Cardinal were the blue team and two 15-year-olds - Colleen Décoste and Myriame Mboma, both from Brock-

ville - were the red team.

Throughout the summer, Balestra Productions travelled to 13 different cities in Ontario to film 30-minute educational television shows.

Brockville was chosen because of the historical components, Railway Tunnel, Fulford Place Museum, Brockville Museum, with the soon to be opened Aquatarium and its location in the 1000 Islands beside the St. Lawrence River.

of the living conditions between Kenya and Canada.

“All of our participants have returned to Canada with an amazing aha moment,” says Matheson, “the realization that we have something to learn from our friends and colleagues in Kenya. For individuals who have so little they are grateful, and live a life rich with experience and love.”

children and youth affected by extreme poverty or the devastation of HIV/AIDS the same opportunity. The organization provides funding to various projects to ensure children and youth receive proper nutrition and the fees required to attend school. Donations can be made through our church treasurer or directly to Our Kenyan Kids,” added Matheson.

News - On location at the picturesque gardens of Fulford Place Museum in Brockville, the Balestra Productions crew set up to take footage of the two teams receiving the Quick Response codes from Les Jumelles hosts and twins Catherine and Julie Séguin. From left to right are participants, Myriame Mboma and Colleen Décoste holding the tablet for the red team, the twins and Zackary Paradis holding the blue team’s tablet and Francis Lalonde. Once the teams had downloaded the code, off they went running to the answer the riddle. This Brockville episode will be aired in the fall of 2015.

The program is hosted by two identical twins, Julie and Catherine Séguin, who guide the participants through the race providing advice, telling the teams when they are behind and when time is up.

The challenge is to determine which twin is giving false information as they solve a historical or geographical riddle related to the host city. The answers to the riddles lead to the finish line.

According to researcher Carole Gaulin, either team must reach the mysterious locations before their opponent; accumulating Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates by finding and scanning with their tablets Quick Response (QR) codes which are hidden throughout the city. The codes are placed at specific historical or geographical locations For four local students, this opportuand are found with the help of clues that nity to star in a television show becomes point the participants in the right direc- a memory to cherish.

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

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

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

tion.

As well, the teams were given two zany challenges (not dangerous or humiliating) to complete before making their way to the finish line.

One of the participants, Colleen Décoste of the red team, indicated that a teacher at académie catholique Ange Gabriel, Brockville, was contacted and presented this opportunity to the students.

Until the teacher mentioned the show, most students had never heard or seen it.

“I have always wanted to participate in an Amazing Race,” said Décoste.

“It seems so much fun and I thought it would be a great thing to do with a friend. We’ll have good memories.”

Memories indeed, as the teams raced from one point to another to solve the riddles in a four-hour time period.

When the teams were solving the riddles, they would have the twins to ask, but the issue with this, is that one told the truth and the other told a tall tale. So the teams had a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

Well, the race has now passed and Décoste is not talking about who won, only that it was fun and we’ll have to wait for the episode to air in the fall of 2015.

Events - The Big and Little Brothers and Sisters of Leeds and Grenville challenged the Brockville Police Services to a baseball game on Monday evening, Sept. 15 at the Goldie Christopher Park, Brockville.

It was evident from the very first swing that the Brockville Police Services would have a hard time keeping up with these young people. By mid game, the Little Brothers and Sisters didn’t need any assistance from the Big Brothers and Sisters as they ran away with multiple home runs. Following the annual game, a barbecue at the hands of Jim Vezina provided welcomed hot dogs and drinks.

B.J. Sherman – Walking the Camino

As a teen I had the opportunity to participate in a private painting class for 2 years. I was educated as a registered nurse, giving me the financial resources to afford art supplies. Another opportunity presented itself, when I was accepted into adult

day classes in painting and drawing at Beal Art in London, Ontario starting the fall of 1979 for 2 ½ years. In 1982 I continued working part-time nursing and shared a studio space downtown with other artists in London, Ontario. I had partici-

pated in many juried art shows, being awarded the May Court of Windsor Prize for an outstanding piece in the exhibition at Southwest 42, Art Gallery of Windsor, 1982 and an award of recognition for the Historic Art Contest at Lawson Museum, London, Ontario, 1984. I have participated in a 2 person art show at the Woman Spirit Gallery in 1981, London, Ontario and a 1 person show at the same gallery in 1982. I participated in another 1 person show at the Ingersoll Creative Art Center in 1983. During 1987 our older son was born; raising a family and working part-time left me with only small amounts of time to paint, enabling me to keep my identity as an artist alive in myself.

I had been painting

people in candid poses caught on my camera and exploring non-symmetrical pattern and textures with paint. In 1994 we bought a cottage on Buck Lake, moved there full-time in 2000 and built a permanent home in 2001. Being on the lake brought

B.J. Sherman me back to my youthful love of painting nature with the added element of incorporating my interest with pattern and textures.

In 2004 I heard about the Camino de Santiago de Compos-

tela. The more I learned about this ancient pilgrimage the stronger I felt the pull to experience walking it myself. I began to train for this 760 KM (500 mile) walk and make travel plans.

Several months before my Camino began I received word of questionable results of a recent mammogram, the follow up testing was 6 weeks down the road and we were flying to Florida the next day for 2 months. I rebooked the testing for when we arrived back home. While in Florida I continued walking 10km, 3 times a week to stay fit for walking the Camino, not knowing what journey I would be doing; walking the Camino or the journey of breast cancer. The testing showed no cancer and on May 15th 2006 I was off. Through the 45 days of walking I constantly painted in my head, returning

home with 30 rolls of film taken with my trusty granny camera.

I had found out about plans to open up a Gilda’s Club in this area before I left. Finding the visuals of this experience inspiring and being filled with gratitude for the opportunity,

the show, and few walk away without finding that perfect something to put under the tree or even something they want for themselves. The quality of product is always high-end, and there are always new things to see from both veteran and new vendors.

This year, there are 225 tables available to vendors, and though it’s only September, most of them are already spoken for. However, there are a few spots left for any artisan or craftsman wanting to set up an display. A spot in the show, and an eight-foot table, will cost a vendor only $45, and multiple spaces are available for larger displays.

Events - One of the best things about fall is knowing that Christmas isn’t too far away, and that means it will soon be time for the 37th annual Arts and Crafts Show at South Grenville District High School in Prescott.

Every corridor on the ground floor of the high school, as well as both gymnasiums will be full to overflowing with some of the finest and most creative works by the most talented artists and artisans in the region.

This year, the show will take place Saturday, Nov. 15 and will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Of the more than 200 vendors who take part in the show every year, many come from quite a distance, including some from Montreal, Belleville and northern New York state. Every year, though, there are new participants, setting

up shop and showing off their wares for the first time. And this year is no different.

“I have a lot of vendors excited to get a place in the show,” says event chair Tracey Hoogwerf. “They’ve heard it’s a very active show and they want to be a part of it.”

It’s been nearly four decades since the show was founded by the local Kinsmen and Kinette clubs. The show was then taken over by the high school. Throughout, though, it was long-time community advocate Judi Baril at the helm, turning the event into one of the largest such shows in the region. A few years ago, Baril stepped aside but is now back in the mix, helping Hoogwerf with this year’s show under the management of the Kin family of Prescott.

“It’s an amazing show,” says Hoogwerf.

Every year, more than 3,000 customers visit

Alzheimer caregivers have new support group in Prescott

By CONAN de VRIES

News - The burden of Alzheimer disease on the person afflicted goes without saying, but the difficulties faced by those caring for the Alzheimer’s patient can sometimes get lost in the shuffle.

That’s why the Alzheimer Society of Leeds-Grenville hosts caregiver support groups, which give those caring for loved ones with dementia a chance to lean on others with the same struggles and learn from one another.

On Thursday, Oct. 16, a new caregiver support group will be starting up in Prescott.

This isn’t the first time the Alzheimer Society of Leeds-Grenville has hosted a support group in Prescott, but the previous one wasn’t well-attended, for the most part because many of those who wanted to attend had loved ones at home who couldn’t be left without supervision.

“That was the main issue,” said Mary Campbell, education and support co-ordinator with the Alzheimer Society of LeedsGrenville.

With that problem in mind, the new support group, which will be held at the Mayfield Retirement Residence, will include a concurrent recreational program for the person with dementia, a program that will give them something fun and interesting to do while their caregivers are attending the group.

The program, which will be run in partnership with staff from the Mayfield, may include music, arts and crafts or visits by presenters from local libraries and museums.

While their loved ones are enjoying a change of pace, the caregivers will be taking advantage of the fellowship of those who know exactly what they’re going through and benefiting from an exchange of ideas and experiences.

“Everyone in the group helps educate one another,” says Campbell. “They can bring up any topic they want.”

There can be anywhere from five to 15 people at a meeting, which are also held regularly in Brockville, Athens, Portland, Gananoque and Kemptville, and the meetings are informal and comfortable, moderated by a knowledgeable representative from the Alzheimer Society of Leeds-Grenville and geared towards making the lives of caregivers and, thus, the lives of those for whom they care, easier.

Fall concert season opens this Saturday

Events – The Brockville Concert Association is especially proud of the 2014 fall concert series in the Brockville Arts Centre which has been designed to appeal to every taste and age group, bringing top notch artists for very reasonable prices. We kick off on Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. with a most personable and talented tenor, Ken Lavigne, who comes with four equally talented musicians, to give you an evening of song and music with amusing anecdotes as Ken recounts his “way to Carnegie Hall” On Sunday, Oct. 19 at 2 p.m., Canada’s ballet Jorgen will dance Cinderella. This beloved fairy tale set to Prokofiev’s beautiful music and features graceful dancers, beautiful costumes and sets and is an event not to be missed. The first accompanied child is admitted free of charge; subsequent children and students over 18 just $10 plus tax.

The internationally acclaimed quintet Ensemble Vivant will perform on Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. with a varied program of audience favourites, including Bach, Leroy Anderson and Tangos by Piazolla. This programme will certainly appeal to those loving piano and strings with a wind instrument!

Finally, to close the series we bring a special concert on Dec. 11. Sinfonia Toronto returns to Brockville by popular demand and brings with them a superbly gifted young Canadian pianist, Anastasia Rizikov, who has been performing on stage since the age of 7. Now 15, she will be playing Chopin’s piano concerto #1. Italian flautist Mario Carbotta will also treat us to a solo piece. Tickets to all concerts are $38 plus tax, students under 18 free, over 18 or second and subsequent students to the ballet: $10 plus tax. We are always happy to welcome new volunteers to our board. Please call 613-345-7694 or e-mail annetdawson@gmail. com for information on joining our team.

Submitted by the Brockville Concert Association, www.brockvilleconcert.ca.

“You don’t want the caregiver crashing and burning,” says Campbell.

People come into the meetings with all manner of concern and often leave feeling better and sometimes with new friends. It can be difficult to plan for the future, to deal with long-term care decisions, or manage when a dementia sufferer’s driver’s licence is revoked, just some of the issues discussed at support meetings.

Often times, too, families may not be taking fullest advantage of all the resources available to them, something the Alzheimer

8th Anniversary Savings!

RIVERSIDE FORD

I

CELEBRATES EIGHT YEARS OF GROWTH

n 2008 Riverside Ford opened its doors to Brockville and area residents under new ownership. From the beginning, Scot Birnie (Dealer Principal) set a goal to build a great Sales Team backed up by one of the finest after sales and service staff in the business.

As the 8th Anniversary rolls around, Scot Birnie is proud to say that although they are continually updating with training and new technology, they have achieved the majority of their initial goals.

According to Canadian Auto Dealer Magazine, “Ford is #1 with a bullet (A++). Canada’s best selling brand four years running and continues to lead the sales chart for 2014. With a solid product lineup, including a new F-150, and more good news product in the pipeline, there is no reason to believe the situation is about to change.”

Riverside Ford Sales Staff have consistently been leaders in new and quality pre-owned sales with the largest selection choose from in the area. They go the extra mile to ensure that your buying experience is as enjoyable as possible before, during and after delivery of the vehicle of your choice.

Once purchased, the service and parts department do their very best to ensure that your vehicle runs smoothly and safely for your enjoyment and peace of mind. When necessary they install Genuine Ford Motorcraft parts designed to fit your Ford vehicle and ensure maximum performance. Factory training, updating and upgrading technology are routine at Riverside Ford to meet all of your warranty and maintenance requirements. The staff includes certified diesel technicians who service a large number of local accounts with diesel

vehicles. Is it any wonder that they have been rated among the “Top Five” in the Province for Customer Service and Satisfaction for the past 8 years? We service all makes and models with the same care and attention to detail.

To serve you even better, Riverside Ford Service Department has recently expanded their service hours: Monday thru Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Fridays 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Scot Birnie is quick to point out that “Our People Drive Our Business. Putting together the right people with proper training and attention to Customer Satisfaction are the key elements to our success. We are proud that so many of you have selected Riverside Ford as your auto dealer and look forward to meeting many new faces in the days and years to come.

Humane societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk proceeds going to the dogs

By JAN MURRAY

Events - On Saturday, Oct. 4, the Gananoque & District Humane Society will be holding its annual GDHS Walk in the Park(way) 2014 to raise $8,000 for its dog rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming program.

The event will take place rain or shine and begins at the Rockport Recreation Hall. Participants will travel west along the parkway walking path to the international bridge intersection and then return.

Participants will get a chance to meet Cali, spokesdog for the GDHS. Following the walk, there will be snacks and prizes as well as displays to view and presentations at noon. Registration for the walk will begin at 9 a.m. and the walk will commence at 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At noon we present walk prizes including a mystery participation prize that every walker has a chance to win,â&#x20AC;? explains Les Wonch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fun wraps up about 1 p.m.

There are souvenir bags for every walker and fellowship with other dog lovers to support for a great cause.â&#x20AC;?

People can walk with or without a dog, although GDHS is hoping for a good turnout from the canine community. They do ask that walkers with dogs make sure their dog is leashed and under control at all times with one handler for each dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our target is 100 walkers with full pledge sheets because we need to raise $8,000 at this event,â&#x20AC;? Wonch adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All funds will go to pay for medical care, food and shelter for our dogs and anything left

over will be spent on care for other rescued pets.â&#x20AC;?

Although GDHS would not generally rescue more than a dozen dogs a year, most often these dogs come through TLTI Animal Control. Normally, they are older, sicker and less socialized which unfortunately makes them much more expensive to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some we suspect are hunting dogs who failed or became too old for the task and were simply dumped by their owners to survive on their own or die,â&#x20AC;? Wonch adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every dog we bring in is tested for heartworm, Lyme disease and parasites and given the proper medical care depending on what our vets find.â&#x20AC;?

Each dog is also spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated against typical dog diseases in addition to rabies. They are all micro-chipped so that in the event that they might wander off, they can be easily

Dogs tend to do better when they have constant people time and therefore GDHS tries to place them all in qualified foster homes to minimize time in a kennel environment. When it is necessary to use a kennel, they are carefully selected to ensure that they offer more than just basic housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, medical and personality evaluation is a critical part of the whole process, so our dogs generally spend about two weeks in a veterinary hospital while we do the evaluations and locate the proper foster to care for them until adoption,â&#x20AC;?

Wonch added.

The bills add up quickly. Wonch explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you add it all up; hospital care, spay or neuter, preventative vaccinations, microchip, treatment for conditions diagnosed, food and transport, you can see why we need so much to ensure our dogs get what they need.â&#x20AC;?

The Gananoque and District Humane

Society has saved the lives of approximately 190 dogs and cats so far in 2014 alone. Currently, it has approximately 110 cats and one dog in its care and for which it is forever searching for homes.

The one remaining dog, Cali, is unadoptable for health reasons and is in permanent foster care. Cali is their spokesdog for the Walk in the Park(way) 2014.

The adoption fee for dogs is only $400, which is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the amount they spend to prepare the dog for adoption. Then of course, there are always exceptions, as with Cali, whom they still spend hundreds of dollars on to save her life, despite the fact that she can never be adopted out because of her health situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We desperately need help from donors, people looking to adopt foster families (especially for dogs), volunteers and volunteer drivers for vet appointments and we need more help from the municipalities we serve,â&#x20AC;? volunteer Jeff Matulewski pleads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We happen to be very good at getting our dogs adopted,â&#x20AC;? Wonch explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start working on that the day they come into care and frequently have an adopter waiting before they are even ready to go home. Since our dogs rarely need advertising and we keep them in a home environment rather than in a cage at the shelter, the myth has arisen that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help dogs.

Tell that to Bailey or Violet or Shadow or Tommy to name just a few of the ones we have adopted out this year!â&#x20AC;?

It is imperative that people understand that GDHS has to scrape and fight for every dollar they receive. All who work there are volunteers. The one exception is for a seven-week summer student grant that they were lucky enough to receive from the federal government.

Matulewski, a volunteer at the shelter, would like to see some of their GEMS find homes. These are cats that are at the shelter for very long periods of time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for reasons beyond our understanding.â&#x20AC;?

Sometimes it may be because of shyness, the colour of their fur or perhaps they are just unlucky, but for whatever reason, some of these cats are just simply overlooked.

One of their GEMS is Crystal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crystal is a beautiful tortie point and is a very gentle cat and friendly to all she meets,â&#x20AC;?

Matulewski explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hushpad is a lovely little GEM cat that was born at the shelter and has lived her whole life here, without fear of being euthanized, because that is who we are at the Gananoque & District Humane Society,â&#x20AC;?

Matulewski explains.

Wonch reminds.

Two years ago, the team at Upper Canada Village was tasked with expand their event programming opportunities into October. Since Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is usually surrounded by Thanksgiving and Halloween, the events team was searched for a family-friendly event, easily renewable each year. Enter Pumpkinferno.

Police, physicians want pedestrian, driver safety Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors, along with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), have launched a public awareness campaign, Pedestrian Safety is a Two-Way Street, urging both pedestrians and drivers to take charge of the safety of our roads.

With summer holidays over and kids back to school, the roads are busier. Pedestrians and drivers need to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of everyone, whether on foot or behind the wheel.

The number of pedestrian fatalities in the province is alarming. Approximately 100 pedestrians are killed in Ontario every year; tragically, most of these incidents are preventable. According to a recent report, Ontario has an estimated 2,695 emergency room visits due to pedestrian related collisions each year.

Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors and the OPP are encouraging the public to take these safety precautions: If you are a pedestrian: - Be alert and aware of your surroundings.

- Stay off electronic devices, which are known to cause distraction.

- Ensure you are visible to drivers.

- Obey traffic signs, look both ways, and make sure that you have time to safely cross all lanes of traffic.

If you are a driver: - Watch your speed and be aware of reduced speeds, especially in school zones.

- Avoid distraction: put your phones and electronic devices away when driving.

- Yield to pedestrians, especially at intersections when making a turn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pedestrian safety seems like common sense, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been inattentive or distracted when walking or crossing a street, at one time or another.

Empowering pedestrians to take charge of their own safety could prevent unnecessary injuries and deaths,â&#x20AC;? stated

Dr. Ved Tandan, president of the Ontario Medical Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All road users have a shared responsibility for road safety. Drivers are reminded to use extra caution in areas of pedestrian traffic. Pedestrians need to be aware of their surroundings, always cross at crosswalks, and remember that drivers may not see them so exercise caution,â&#x20AC;? said Chief Superintendent Charles (Chuck) Cox of the OPP Highway Safety Division.

Hospital volunteer group reaches milestone

By DOREEN BARNES

News – The Brockville General Volunteer Association celebrated their 125th anniversary on Wednesday, Sept.

17 with a luncheon and speeches at the Brockville Memorial Civic Centre.

“This is really a special celebration as it is all about you, who work so hard for the volunteer organization and the Brockville General Hospital, this is just a way to say thank you,” said Dave Bessant, president of the Brockville General Volunteer Association. “One hundred and twenty five years is a big event.”

About 150 of the 367 volunteers attended this celebration; they have given many hours of their time, energy as well as creativity in fundraising.

Through these efforts, a donation of $103,000 was given this year.

Remarks were made by Brockville Mayor David Henderson and LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark, along with Elan McMillan, president of the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario (HAAO), who travelled from Sudbury for the event, HAAO regional representative Jane Batey and Brockville General Hospital vice-president and chief financial officer Steve Reid As mayor Henderson spoke he joked that he is a frequent flyer of the medical community, having had several injuries that were taken care of, at the Brockville General Hospital.

“I’m one of those rare people in the community, that my life is connected to the hospital,” continued Henderson.

“Just speaking from the multiple of days waking up in the hospital, you people make a great difference. Yes there are doctors, surgeons, nurses, medication and operations, but from my experience it’s really when you are having that conversation with somebody, who give you a smile and talks to you. Or, and I have to admit that this is the most humbling for anyone going to a hospital, as it is not about the operation, it’s the little things, like someone helping you to the washroom. It’s humbling to ask for help.”

He touched on Palliative Care and all through the medical areas that volunteers give of their time and commitment.

“You really make a big difference and the fact that it is 125 years,” mentioned Henderson, “is really incredible.”

Following Henderson were words from MPP Clark, who touched on how the Association has recognized the work of volunteers.

“Any organization that celebrates a milestone like you are celebrating today, does it for a couple of reasons,” said Clark. “Because they (the Association) treat the volunteers right, but also it’s a cause that people want to rally toward.

You are the greatest front line that the Brockville General Hospital has.”

As McMillan spoke she said that

The Brockville Memorial Civic Centre community room was the venue for celebrating the milestone of 125 years of service by the Brockville General Volunteer Association. This group was honoured for their time, compassion, energy and above all else their wonderful smiles that they gave so freely to patients. In addition to a resounding thanks and a delicious lunch, the volunteers also received a commemorative pin. With just four women who volunteered their precious time, the total years of service amounted to 155 years.

From left to right are Lois Stewart, Janet Caldwell, Gail Parslow, Vaughn Caldwell and Jean Foss. being in Brockville to attend the 125th Anniversary was one of the special events for her.

“One hundred twenty five years; most organizations do not reach this milestone,” said McMillan. “You are to be commended. To all our volunteers here, thank you, thank you. Happy anniversary!”

With humour in her voice, Batey

stated that she like to attend functions that are older than her.

“This is a celebration today, but it is also a testimony to the dedication of the countless volunteers over the 125 year history,” said Batey. “I’m constantly amazed at the devotion and dedication of the volunteers. You deserve the gratitude of your community for your contribution to the care and help to those

that need it most.”

With the speeches coming to a close, Reid brought greetings, thanks and appreciation on behalf of the administration and senior leadership team of the Brockville General Hospital.

More volunteers came on board and by 1929 there were 275 members with 26 as life members.

By 1935 the Auxilliary was given the right to have two voting representatives on the Brockville General Hospital Board.

The WAGON (Women’s Auxiliary Gifts Or Needs) Shop opened in 1955 and between 1955 and 1960, the Auxilliary gave the hospital a total of $100,000.

By 1980, the Wagon Shop, now 25 years later, had given the hospital, since 1955, contributions of $256,174.

When the new addition to the hospital in 2003 was built, the association had a new Wagon Gift Shop and opened Eleanor’s Café.

In 2008 and 2009, the Brockville General Volunteer Association donated $40,000 towards the purchase of equipment for the Cardiovascular Program.

Last year, in 2013, the Volunteer Program was reinstated and there are 12 individuals currently participating.

Volunteer programs There are so many areas of the hospital that people can volunteer in and some of those are Eleanor’s Café, Wagon Gift Shop, Information Desk at both hospital sites, patient service, day surgery, linen and sewing room, recreation therapy, Spiritual Care, mealtime assistance, Emergency Room support service, fundraising committee, Lottery ticket sales, magazine cart, art cart, volunteer knitters, Ortho Clinic, Christmas Tree set up and decorate or a position on the Volunteer Board of Directors.

behalf and regrettably cannot be here this afternoon,” said Reid. “What we witness everyday is patients coming through trying to navigate they system at the Brockville General Hospital.

Sometimes it is as simple as a smile, directions to their next appointment, a cup of coffee, a treat from the Gift Shop or help getting out to their car. These are the sorts of things that can really make a patient’s experience the best that we can deliver. So we really appreciate working with you.

Congratulations on this milestone of 125 years.”

At this point in the celebration, Bessant was presented with a lapel pin commemorating this monumental event and for the years of volunteer service.

In addition, all the volunteers received a pin exactly like the one that Bessant received.

Brief history According to the information on the Brockville General Hospital’s website; the Hospital’s beginning was the Brockville Free Medical Dispensary on Church Street, which was started in 1881.

During those years, there was a Ladies’ Committee.

When the Brockville General Hospital moved to its current site in 1889, a Women’s Auxilliary was started which is now known as the Brockville General Volunteer Association.

Milestones In 1901, the Women’s Auxilliary held a Calico Ball which raised $178 and continued till 1948.

A laundry was built at the hospital by the Women’s Auxilliary in 1906.

Sports - Of all the golf instructors that ever taught the golf swing, Jimmy Ballard from Alabama has to be considered one of the best and most consistent of all time.

His influence has been quite evident on some of golf’s modern day teachers including Jim McLean and David Leadbetter, just to name a few.

Ballard has been consistent in his teaching theory for over 50 years and unlike many modern day teachers who change with the times, he has stuck to his roots. And those roots started a way back in 1960 when Ballard was introduced to former Major League Baseball player converted to golfer, Sam Byrd. Byrd was both Babe Ruth’s back-up and roommate on the road.

Byrd converted from pro baseball to pro golf and very successfully I might add, he won 25 PGA Tour events and was runner up to Byron Nelson at the 1945 PGA Championship.

Byrd took the principles he learned from Babe Ruth on the baseball batter’s swing and converted them into the golf swing.

In fact, it was Byrd who advised the great Ben Hogan to hit golf balls with a towel under his lead arm (his left arm as he was a righthanded golfer). This connected his left arm to his body.

Hence, “Connection” was born.

“Connection” is connecting the arms to the body and having the body swing the arms around. It’s like a dog wagging their tail, you have never seen a tail wag a dog have you?

Ballard took what he learned from Byrd and he came up with an organized systematic way of teaching “Connection”.

First, Ballard would inform his students about golf’s biggest misleading terms such as ‘keep your head down’, ‘stiff lead arm’, ‘stay behind the ball’ and Ballard’s biggest pet peeve term, using the word ‘Turn’ in describing the golf swing.

When you listen to Ballard explain how it is impossible to ‘Turn’ in a golf swing, you can’t argue his logic. “You can turn around one socket and one joint but you have a socket and joint in your left hip and a socket and joint in your right hip. How do you physically ‘Turn’ around two sockets and two joints?

It’s impossible.”

I have a towel under both of my arms which forces me to swing the club in a “Connected” manner. This makes the body control the arms similar to a dog wagging its tail. I have never seen a tail wag a dog. Try this on the range sometime and see how you hit the ball; it will certainly help you improve your ball striking.

When you watch Ballard demonstrate this, you will be sold that the word ‘Turn’ has no business being mentioned in teaching the golf swing. He then put together the golf swing in what he calls the ‘Seven Common Denominators’.

These seven common denominators are similar moves performed by the greatest ballstrikers of all time.

In Ballard’s mind you are not considered a great ballstriker unless you have been consistent for 10 years or longer. He says there a lot of guys who get hot for a couple of years and then you never hear about them ever again.

I, myself, have a rather large library of golf instruction books, audio books, DVDs and VHSs. Ballard’s message today is exactly the same as it was a way back in 1980 when I first read about him in the Golf Digest. The magazine

featured Ballard’s “Connection” theory and it went over really big back then.

He has had the luxury of working with some of golf’s greatest names including Johnny Miller, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros, Curtis Strange, Hal Sutton and Rocco Mediate recently. In all, Ballard has worked with over 300 PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA golfers. And this from a guy who doesn’t market himself like today’s teacher’s do.

Ballard is also responsible for developing Sweden’s golf teaching program, Annika Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson, who are two pretty good by products of that program.

When I started helping my friends with their golf swings back in the early ’80s, I used Ballard’s “Connection” theory with tremendous success I might add.

My own ball striking improved

dramatically, I gained a lot of distance using the “Connection” theory. But it was the immediate improvement that I saw in my student’s swings that totally won me over to Ballard and his philosophy.

I had my students hitting golf balls with a towel under both arms, they were to hit balls without dropping the towel. They quickly learned how important it was to control their arm swing with their body pivot.

I think what impresses me the most about Ballard is that his message is still exactly the same today as it was in the beginning over 50 years ago.

Check out Jimmy Ballard for yourself on the Internet, watch his tips on YouTube or better yet purchase his DVDs, his book and see for yourself how his common sense approach to golf will definitely help your golf swing.

Educating Rita is a breath of fresh air

By JAN MURRAY

Entertainment - The Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque has had a spectacular season beginning with Driving Miss Daisy in May, followed by She Loves Me, Jake’s Gift, The Importance of Being Earnest, and The Ugly One, Waiting for the Parade and now for the grand finale, Educating Rita.

The playhouse describes Educating Rita as a touching story that follows a sassy hairdresser (Charlotte Gowdy) who quite literally bursts into university night classes determined to change her life.

Here she meets Frank (Blair Williams), an alcohol-fueled lecturer who has just about given up.

“In this first scene we are introduced to Rita. She is a 26 year old woman and she is looking for an education. We also meet her soon to be tutor, Frank. Frank is a 55-year old professor. He is a failed poet and a disillusioned teacher,” explains director Micheline Chevrier. “Rita’s first entrance is quite the metaphor for the play.

She struggles with the door. The handle actually refuses to turn, it’s stuck. So her persistence finally allows her to break through and she slides into the room. She is like a gust of wind, a breath of fresh air as she enters his office. Her honesty, intelligence, heart and bravery will challenge Frank and wake him up out of his

apathy. In the end, the education goes both ways.”

When Rita and Frank meet in the first scene, they are both ‘stuck’ in life, unhappy and struggling to break free. Rita is making a conscious effort to change her circumstances, to better her life, whereas Frank is much more submissive in how he will change.

“They both recognize in each other that they have the same need and they both decide to engage with each other so that they may feel something else other than despair about their situation,” explains Chevrier.

“The first scene is probably the most difficult in the play for me,” explained Charlotte Gowdy. “There is a lot to remember. The cigarette, the book, which way to walk, when to turn,” she grinned.

In this brilliantly written play, the creator’s creation surpasses him. Blair Williams, who plays Frank explains, “Frank knows this has to happen. If the teacher teaches well the student will excel. But of course in the process of doing this, he falls for Rita and when she inevitably leaves him it breaks his heart.”

As popular as the motion picture production was back in 1983, neither Gowdy or Williams has ever seen the play. “I may watch it after,” Williams jokes.

“The play was written in the ‘80s but

Willy Russell rewrote it so it’s pretty much in its own time, so it kind of exists timelessly,” added Williams.

“He rewrote it so it’s a different version of the play, not the original,” commented Debbie Bennett, marketing manager for the playhouse.

Another tricky piece for Gowdy to master was the Liverpool accent. “I’m still working on it,” she joked. “I have a dialect coach and have been working on it for about two to three months. I have done other dialects before, but I’ve never done Liverpool.”

Having the opportunity to step into the lives of Rita and Frank has given insight to both Gowdy and Williams.

“I love how it talks about finding the meaning in life and the joy that can come from literature, art, education,” Gowdy began. “I love her own personal struggle to be different from the people that she lives with and works with and has grown up with; to recognize that she wants more from life than the pub that; she’s really looking for purpose, a richer life.”

“This is a great example of transformation.” Williams continues, “Both of them are completely different people at the end of the play than they were to begin with.”

A very well constructed play, it is evident that the characters themselves are actually listening to one another, even when

you might think that they are not.

As with all Thousand Islands Playhouse productions, the team has a twoweek rehearsal period to learn all their lines, the correct movements, gestures, facial expressions. “Then they have one week of tech time, bringing in the lighting and the sound,” explained Bennett.

“It’s about an hour of rehearsal for every minute of stage time,” Williams put it into perspective.

Set and costume designer Diana Uribe definitely had her work cut out for her preparing for Educating Rita. Gowdy is never off stage for more than a few moments, and therefore her costumes must be well planned out and often interchangeable.

“I’m in almost every scene, so I have only like 30 seconds to change, so the costumes are very creative,” Gowdy explains.

“They are amazing costumes.”

Not only will the audience notice the change in type of costume, but they will watch as Rita grows into a whole other person right before their eyes.

“You really see Rita go from childlike, to a teenager to more of an actual adult,” Gowdy grins.

Uribe adds, “That will be the challenge for this play because you have to see her metamorphose.”

“It might also be fun to look at how the books that they are talking about, the

Support

poets that they are talking about in this play reflect in their own personal relationships,“ Gowdy suggests. “They talk about tragedy. They talk about Macbeth and meanwhile it’s happening to Frank. They talk about the differences between a tragic event and tragedy.”

Gowdy was a professional actor for 12 years before coming to the playhouse two years ago to work in the administration offices.

“I took the job knowing that there would be opportunities like this,” she explained.

“I have been doing little things, but have not done a full play in two years.”

“Has been heavenly to be back on stage” she added.

Williams and Gowdy have both worked together as directors in the past at Shaw festival - Gowdy in 2005-7 and Williams is still there as a director.

“It’s nice to be on the other end,” Williams piped up. “You just have to make sure your director hat is off.”

Educating Rita opens on Sept. 26 with showtimes Tuesday – Saturday 8pm.

Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday 2:30 p.m. (starting on the Wednesday after opening night).

Rockin’ the night away for Upper Canada charity Events – There’s still time to get in on the fun at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Night.

It will be held at South Grenville District High School in Prescott on Saturday, Oct. 4. The event - a fundraiser for the Upper Canada District School Board’s charity, the Champions for Kids Foundation – will see the main gym at South Grenville transformed into a club that salutes more than half a century of music dating back to the 1950s.

Hall of fame night is the follow-up to the ‘80s prom night fundraiser for the foundation that was also held at the Prescott school last fall.

“The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame Night is a celebration of the great work Cham-

TO EAT AT

pions for Kids has done for children and families in our communities,” stated Christie Reitsma, a vice-principal at South Grenville and co-chair of the event.

Established in early 2008, the foundation provides funding to students and their families to help cover costs associated with playing sports or enjoying the arts. Champions for Kids also assists with expenses involving medical care such as paying for gas used for driving to and from CHEO or covering the hospital parking fees.

Hall of fame night at South Grenville begins at 6 p.m on Oct. 4. Returning for this year’s foundation fundraiser will be the popular duo of Healy and Orr, who will lead the guests down memory lane and through a who’s who of popular music

in the rock era.

The dinner will be prepared by South Grenville hospitality students under the director of Chef Brandi Donovan. Hall of fame night ends at 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

In addition to selling individual tickets ($40), organizers are offering special packages for $300. Each eight-seat party table has a different theme featuring an artist or band from the rock era.

Included in this year’s event is a silent auction.

To purchase single tickets or a party table package, visit http://c4krocknroll. eventbrite.ca. For more information on the foundation, visit www.ucdsb.on.ca or check out the Upper Canada board’s Champions for Kids page on Facebook.

Events - The Thousand Islands Playhouse is at it again bringing live theatre together with delicious food and great wine that will undoubtedly excite your palate and satisfy your thirst for quality entertainment.

Since May of 2008, the Local Flavours, Local Friends fundraiser has been a favourite that many anxiously await each year. As the date grows nearer, final preparations are being put into place to ensure yet another highly successful event.

If you’ve not already marked your calendars for Wednesday, Oct. 1, you may want to jot that down now as this event, to be held at the Thousand Islands Playhouse Firehall Theatre is one you will definitely not want to miss.

It all began when The Frontenac Arch Biosphere first introduced its Local Flavours map back in 2008. This map was used to contact local farms, restaurants and wineries asking them to participate.

“We wanted them to supply tastings of their restaurant fare, using supplies from the surrounding area,” explained Liz Austin. “We had good response and it was a great start to the theatre season, as the ticket includes a seat for the play.”

In an effort to keep this event unique, the Thousand Islands Playhouse con-

Canada has ‘robust’ college system

Lifestyle - The first self-guided tour of vegetable gardens called Brockville Veggie Garden Tour 2014 offered by Transition Brockville (www.transitionbrockville. com) took place last month. The purpose of the tour was to introduce as well as share the passion for gardening. The garden pictured above was a combination of vegetables with flowers mixed in among the plants. This garden had celery, sweet peppers, tomatoes, carrots, leeks, lettuce, fennel, snap peas, eggplant, spinach, berries, hardy kiwi, peach tree, ever bearing raspberry, fruit trees, strawberries, grapes along with a selection of herbs. For flowers there were dahlias, marigolds and other varieties, giving the green garden a little more colour. At left, black tomatoes, known as clekemus do exist and the taste has been suggested as a tad stronger than regular sliced red tomatoes.

Sharing the passion of gardening through first every vegetable garden tour Lifestyle - On Saturday, Aug. 23, gardeners and interested parties went on the first self-guided tour of vegetable gardens called Brockville Veggie Garden Tour 2014 offered by Transition Brockville (www.transitionbrockville.com).

The OECD survey also mentions Canada’s strength in helping low-income children in public school overcome hurdles to learning. Ontario colleges are a destination for students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

The OECD report is available at: http://www. oecd.org/edu/eag.htm “We are constantly working with industry partners to ensure students are receiving career-focused higher education that prepares them for long-term success,” said Vollebregt. “We will continue to focus on helping greater numbers of people find meaningful careers in the new economy.”

News – A new Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report released recently concludes a robust college system is the reason more Canadians obtained a postsecondary education than people in many other countries.

“The report highlights the incredible contribution colleges make to Canadians society,” said Glenn Vollebregt, president and CEO of St. Lawrence College. “College education ensures that people from all walks of life have access to highquality, career-focused programs.”

The OECD report, called Education at a Glance, 2014, looks at a wide range of educational issues on a global scale. The report highlights the many pathways available to post-secondary students in Canada and attributes much of that accessibility to the country’s colleges.

In Ontario, growing numbers of students are pursuing college education. There are 220,000

As is often the path of a cancer patient, treatment began almost immediately.

“I had chemo therapy once a week for 70 weeks.”

“My tumor is still there,” Modler explains, “We just have to keep watch on it. As long as it’s not growing that’s all that matters.”

“I do have to continue to have MRIs every six months to make sure it’s not growing. As long as it’s not growing, it’s fine.”

Keeping busy she found, kept her focused on the positive; ways that she could help others. She had seen firsthand, when going through her own chemo, how difficult it was for other families and their kids and she wanted to do something to help; to make life easier for them. Modler now runs a fundraising campaign (McKenna’s Dream) that has raised well over $100,000 in support of

the Children’s Cancer Fund at Kingston General Hospital (KGH).

Three years ago, the Gananoque Boat Line contacted the Modler family expressing their desire to help. They wanted to donate a cruise. Modler jumped right on that, seeing the potential for raising funds right away.

As an added bonus, and a little extra fun, Modler’s dad Scott, who takes a fair amount of ribbing through his daughter’s Facebook page, must face an additional challenge during the final moments of the cruise each year. Last year, the bucket was passed around with the understanding that if $500 was raised, he would shave his head. If $1,000 was raised, they would be dying his hair pink and giving him a Mohawk.

In that same spirit of giving, this past Sunday on McKenna’s third annual Dream Cruise, Scott Modler was Photo by JAN MURRAY facing a small container of live crick- Erin, McKenna and Scott Modler on the third annual Dream Cruise on

Events – Fourteen-year-old McKenna Modler looks like your typical teenage girl; one would never expect the enormous obstacles she has had to overcome already at such a young age.

When Modler was a mere 10 years of age, she was experiencing constant headaches. Having recently lost her grandmother to lung cancer, it was first thought that the headaches might have been caused by stress. She was sent to have her eyes checked as a precaution.

“They found swelling behind my eyes,” Modler explained. “I had a CT scan and then an MRI and so that’s how they found out that I had a brain tumor.”

A difficult diagnosis for anyone, it is almost unimaginable that a child would hear those words.

“My nana had just died of cancer, so I thought I was going to die,” Modler said. “But after hearing about all the different things they could do, I felt better.

the blood and or bone marrow.

The first course of action was to test Curran’s family for a bone marrow match. When that was unsuccessful, the search was on. It was through One Match, a service available through Canadian Blood Services that a donor was finally found in November.

Once a donor was located, Curran had to undergo 10 days of chemo therapy and then received the transplant.

Curran is now cancer free and as of just a couple weeks ago, was back on the basketball court after almost a year and a half away.

Kids helping kids; Communities coming together; McKenna’s Dream coming true – that’s what it’s all about.

Customer Appreciation Event

MOVIE: The Captive STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson, Scott Speedman, Alexia East and Kevin Durand DIRECTOR: Atom Egoyan RATING: 14A Opinion – Most psychological thrillers are fast paced in order to keep you at the height of tension. The Captive spans eight years as Atom Egoyan explores the trauma, suffering, and perseverance of his characters as they deal with an unimaginable horror.

When she was eight Cass (Alexia East) was taken from the backseat of her father’s pickup truck. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) had stopped at a truck stop after Cass’s skating practice. He was gone five minutes, but it was five minutes too long.

Matthew and his wife Tina (Mireille Enos) are plunged into a nightmare. The police, led by detectives Nicole (Rosario Dawson) and Jeffery (Scott Speedman), are searching, but they keep coming back to Matthew as the prime suspect.

For eight years Matthew never stops looking. For eight years Nicole and Jeffery continue to investigate pedophile rings on the internet. For eight years Tina continues to hate and blame Matthew.

My Take

Mark haskins

For eight years Cass lives with her abductor, Mika (Kevin Durand), and for eight years he uses her to entice other children.

The Captive takes the psychological thriller, and puts it on a slow boil for eight years. It’s eight years of anguish.

It’s eight years of pain. It’s eight years of suffering, and Atom Egoyan explores every inch of it. He takes you inside this horror. He makes it real in a way that’s both hard to watch, and fascinating.

He does it by avoiding any graphic displays, and instead relies on the depth of emotion from his actors. In this regard The Captive is an incredible piece of movie making.

However, Egoyan tells his story in a non-linear fashion. It jumps around from so many different points within those eight years it’s hard to know when

things are happening in relation to other events. It can be effective to watch a story unfold from multiple points within the story, but in The Captive there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. It just seems like Egoyan is trying too hard to make his film into art.

As a collection of actors this cast is nothing short of brilliant. Egoyan relies on them to make the horror of this event real. He relies on them to make their characters seem like real people, and they succeed beyond any expectations.

Scott Speedman, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson and Alexia East are fantastic.

Kevin Duran proves himself to be a true chameleon as he becomes this intelligent and creepy monster.

Ryan Reynolds gives one of the best performances of his career. I was astounded by his portrayal, and found it remarkably convincing and incredibly powerful.

The Captive has great performances.

It’s a uniquely fascinating story. It’s filmed with such realism it almost borders on the surreal. Yet the manner in which it is told is baffling. I’m all for art, but sometimes simpler is better.

ets. Should the crowd raise $500, he would have to choke down only one.

However, for each $500 increment, he would have to choke down another.

All in good fun of course, Modler sat with this little container of live crickets, on the middle deck of the cruise liner, surrounded by at least a hundred onlookers as he jokingly choked down his first cricket. The second went down much quicker.

Along with many friends, neighbours, supporters and relatives on the cruise, was 17-year-old Mackenzie Curran.

Curran, who plays basketball at Holy Cross High School, said she was feeling sluggish and unable to keep up with her teammates. Shortly thereafter, in August of 2013, she was diagnosed with MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome).

issue as these sensors can cost over $100 each depending on the make and model involved.

Automakers are clear on this. They do not recommend any car owner bypass or deactivate a safety system on their vehicle such as omitting tire pressure sensors. I checked with several Photo by TIM RUHNKE provincial insurance departments such as British Columbia and they state Event - Amanda Leang and Schylar Schapelhouman drivers are still covered whether a tire are the Spencerville Fair’s Little Miss and Little Sir for pressure system is operational or not. I 2014-2015. also contacted the Insurance Bureau of Canada and this has not been raised as an issue with them.

My own advice is, if you want the convenience of automated tire pressure monitoring and your vehicle is equipped with such a system you should purchase sensors with your winter tire/rim $10,499 $12,999 package and have the system working 12 months of the year.

If you don’t use separate rims for 2008 VW EOS HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE 2009 HYUNDAI SONATA your snow tires, but use the original SUNROOF, 86K 150k wheels instead, you don’t have to worry.

The sensors will stay with the rims and $18,999 $10,999 keep on working.

If you don’t want to pay the expense of another set of sensors, then buy a 2008 MINI COOPER 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP good quality tire pressure gauge (less Convertible, Johnny Walker Edition 5.3/V8 than $15) and check your tires regularly (twice a month). $14,999 $15,999 State Farm Insurance is going back to school to promote safe driving among teens.

Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, I read with interest your column in last week’s EMC. I’d like your thoughts on a matter of interest to me. Last November I transferred my 2010 KIA ES to an immediate family member. It had very low mileage and the only one long trip on it.

Imagine my shock when they recently told me they had to have a complete brake job done on the car at a cost of just over $1,100. Another member of the family who is a mechanic mentioned that there appeared to be some rust on the brakes and to get it checked out. That was done immediately and thus the brake job. I don’t understand how a four-year old car would need the brake job nor do I understand the “rust”. Checking with KIA all I got was it could ‘depend on the driver’. I would like to have your take on this. Of course, it is considered maintenance and not covered under the warranty.”

Thanks.

Having to get brakes replaced (I’m assuming linings/pads and rotors) on a five-year-old vehicle isn’t really much of a surprise no matter how many kilometres it has or doesn’t have. And as to the rust, well, we live in Canada and are addicted to road salt and have more than our share of precipitation.

Brake rotors and drums for the most part are made of untreated and ungalvanized steel.

I’ve parked vehicles on hoists with their wheels off overnight over a wet freshly-washed shop floor and found a fine layer of rust on the rotors the next morning. There are coated brake rotors now on the market that can reduce the amount of rust that accumulates on them, but they aren’t used as original equipment by any carmaker I know of.

When the vehicle was transferred to this family member it would have required an Ontario Ministry of Transportation safety standards inspection and certificate to switch the ownership. While that occurred in November of last year, it would still be interesting to know what condition the brakes were in at that time.

Tire pressure sensors Whether we like it or not, fall is almost here and that means preparing for winter tires. I recently heard from a customer who had a tire shop tell him his auto insurance might be cancelled if he opted for a winter tire and rim package without tire pressure sensors on his vehicle that was equipped with such a system from the factory.

Few car owners ever purchase tire pressure sensors for their winter tire and wheel packages. It’s primarily a cost

Child and adolescent suicide prevention up for discussion

By DOREEN BARNES

News – World Suicide Prevention Day was Sept. 10 and to some this day didn’t mean anything; to others, it meant a memory of someone who had ended their life by suicide.

According to information released by Brockville General Hospital, 11 lives in Canada are lost to suicide on a daily basis, with approximately 210 people attempting suicide.

Leading up to Sept. 10 and beyond, the hospital in conjunction with various health agencies brought a range of topics and presenters to discuss suicide along with the signs, the talk and the

prevention.

For the Prevention of Child and Adolescent Suicide presentation on Friday, Sept. 12, two individuals from the Children’s Mental Health Service of Leeds and Grenville - Amanda Bender-Francois and Maggie Lance - spoke about the risk factors, social media, suicidal indicators, what to say to someone with suicidal expressions, what not to say, where to turn to for help and coping strategies.

Suicide is no longer swept under the rug; it is out and talked about and can affect any gender, social class, age and cultural group.

On Friday, Sept. 12, Amanda Bender-Francois (left) and Maggie Lance (right) of the Children’s Mental Health Service of Leeds and Grenville led a discussion on Prevention of Child and Adolescent Suicide for the public at 1000 Islands Mall in Brockville. World Suicide Prevention Day, which was Sept. 10, was taken a step further by the Brockville General Hospital and various local agencies in that these partners offered a week of topics about mental health including grief, safeTALK, suicide prevention in older adults and prevention of child and adolescent suicide.

“We (Children’s Mental Health Service of Leeds and Grenville) are dedicated to serving the mental health needs of children, youth and their families,” said Lance. “Children 12 and over may self-refer. Our programs and services are free, accessible and confidential, but communication or collaboration with community partners could be a focus (with consent).”

Lance went on to explain that they use a respectful and holistic approach towards the whole family, believing that each individual and the family have the ability/capacity to make changes in their lives.

As well, both explained throughout the presentation that they work closely with other community partners and agencies to meet the needs of the children as well as the family, as a whole.

“We offer many different services like assessment, to family counselling and we do have crisis response and an in

home service team that refer families as well,” indicated Bender-Francois. “Also, we have parent education programs and workshops where we do things Triple P, Friends, an anxiety program, an ITM Group and we do psycho-educational groups and case consultation services.”

Some suicide indicators that family members or friends may notice are a change in performance at school, avoidance of family and friends, frequent outbursts of anger or rage, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, rebelling against authority, alcohol or drug use, disinterest in doing things they used to enjoy, a tendency to damage other’s property, constant worrying or anxiousness, no longer taking care of their appearance, obsession about body image or weight, loss of energy or motivation, habitually hitting or bullying children and selfinjury.

Currently, there are five Children’s Mental Health offices serving Leeds and

Grenville located in Brockville, Elgin, Gananoque, Kemptville and Prescott.

The telephone number is 1-800-8092494.

“We want to talk about promoting emotional wellness in children and adolescents and how important it is,” said Bender-Francois. “When we talk about a positive school environment, what does that child or adolescent experience in school? What is their day like and how is it set up to meet their success.”

“Socially, are they struggling with peers; how do we make that different?” added Lance. “If they are happy in their school environment, which is a large piece of the day, it leads to their emotional wellness.”

In the family connectedness, it was explained that if children are comfortable approaching their parents, then they will be the same when it comes to their See PREVENTION page 41

What to say and do Really listen and hear what the person is saying.

Ask a question and be direct; are you thinking of suicide?

Show empathy and express your concern for the individual conveying optimism by using words of encouragement and a new perspective.

Help the person to anticipate a tangible solution by using reassurance with mindfulness.

Encourage them to talk to someone who can really help.

What not to say and do Take what a person confides in you seriously. Don’t tell them that they are blowing things out of proportion as they will feel misunderstood.

Don’t say ‘snap out of it’. Use a caring, listening ear.

Never promise to keep their secret as it is not helping them, nor yourself; instead reassure them that you will only share with a trustworthy person (psychologist, counsellor, social worker, doctor or parent).

Strategy Bender-Francois and Lance work with clients on an individualized basis.

What strategy may work for one may not work for another individual. So each case is given a personalized method of coping skills.

“Strategy, strategy, strategy, many of our clients tells us that they have lost control,” said Lance. “Many of the

healthy strategies put in place gives them back a bit of control. Sometimes strategies involve other supports as well. As they go to try the strategy, they may say it works a bit but not on every time, so we may need to tweak the strategy. This is given in the beginning that they may have to come back to tweak the strategy to make sure it fits the person.”

“We want to make sure that our children and adolescents have strong selfesteem and that can be really challenging,” offered Bender-Francois. “With a healthy school and home environment that is often a contributing factor.”

Some risk factors are mental illness, loss of family member or a friend, substance abuse, physical or sexual abuse, exposure to a friend or family member’s suicidal behaviour, trauma, struggles with sexual identity, feelings of hopelessness, access to lethal means of suicide, bullying and non-lethal self injury or previous suicide attempts.

Social media For youth at risk, social media is a new threat, especially with cyber-bullying, “We see this (threat) all the time in our work,” said Bender-Francois. “Whether it be bullying or put on Facebook or putting pictures on Snapchat.”

According to Bender-Francois, youth believe that any of this information or screen shots can be taken care of by erasing via the computer or phone setting, which in fact is not true. Accidentally, those photos or information can go viral.

“These are all the things that our children and youth are experiencing,” added Bender-Francois. “It is such a struggle and a lot of them do not realize the impact it can have on their peers and on one another.”

“A lot of parents are lost and they do not know how to help their children with social media,” indicated Lance. “They are doing everything in their power to make sure that the safety controls are there, but it’s not enough as our kids are still struggling.”

Both Bender-Francois and Lance feel that new software is continually being released and it can be difficult for parents to stay on top of the latest technology.

Public school board deals with fiscal constraint

News - Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) trustees continued a tradition of fiscal responsibility recently by instituting an administrative hiring freeze and moving to better monitor spending in an age of fiscal constraint.

Members passed three motions during the first board meeting of the new school year to ensure that UCDSB lives within the budget passed by trustees in June. The motions were approved out of concern due to recent hints by the Ministry of Education

that the province is tightening its belt, which may affect future funding for the board.

Director of Education David Thomas welcomed the changes. “At this board, we have created a legacy of compliant budgets and responsible use of resources and the board has simply asked us to continue in this manner to ensure budgetary needs are met,” Thomas stated in a release.

“These moves are consistent with the trustees’ focus on accountability as has been exemplified by the Account-

ability Framework,” added Chair Greg tivities.

Roberts, a former American television writer and producer who has written almost 20 books including the Milan Jacovich series, spoke about his love of writing and read the first chapter of his most recent work, Wet Work. The Ohio resident told the approximately 40 audience members that a character in his new book could be based on any of them. The friends group has reformed after a hiatus of several years. The organization assists the public library staff and board through advocacy and fundraising. Events planned for this fall include an appearance by St. Lawrence News columnist Mary Cook on Nov. 5 and a performance of Christmas songs and stories by children on Dec. 6.

44 ST. LAWRENCE NEWS - Thursday, September 25, 2014

News – The South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is currently accepting applications for a Regional Patient Advisory Council to help shape future health care services in the coverage area.

The Regional Patient Advisory Council will bring together community, patients, and family members to discuss and test ideas related to the future of health care services across the region.

Membership to the council will be made up of current Patient Advisory Councils of the seven South East LHIN Hospitals, as well as eight additional community members, which will be chosen based on geographic location.

Patient advisors are persons who have had a recent experience (generally within three years) of being a patient or the family member of a patient and who work with health service providers to provide direct input into policies, programs and practices which affect patient care and services. The role of the members of the Regional Patient Advisory Council will be to keep the patient and family as the focal point of our health-

care system.

Interested candidates are asked to submit a 250-word expression of interest that answers the following questions: Why would you like to serve as a Regional Patient Advisory Council member? What are some issues of special interest to you?

Submissions will be accepted until Sept. 24, 2014 to the South East LHIN office by mail and/or email to the address below.

Successful applicants will be contacted by Sept. 29, 2014. Contact information: South East Local Health Integration Network, 71 Adam St., Belleville, ON, K8N 5K3 southeast@lhins.on.ca.

The Regional Patient Advisory Council will meet approximately every two months, for a period of four hours. The first meeting is scheduled to take place on Oct. 6 in Kingston.

A schedule of additional meeting dates and times will be confirmed based on the availability of the finalized membership. For more information, contact Caitlin den Boer at Caitlin.denboer@ lhins.on.ca.

Safety Tips Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms.

If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately.

Some homes are equipped with electrically connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a batteryoperated smoke alarm on every level.

Heating and Cooking: Never use propane or charcoal barbecues indoors. They are designed for outdoor use only and can quickly cause a buildup of carbon monoxide.

Suspended ceilings, transformed Would you like to add an elaborate and el­ egant cachet to your ceilings without having to invest large sums of money? A wide se­ lection of suspended ceilings is now avai­ lable, giving you the opportunity to create a room that feels just right. This kind of cei­ling is not only more esthetically pleasing than a tra­ ditional ceiling, but it also im­pro­ves a room’s acoustics and insulation.

Suspended ceilings always come with a met­ al frame, which is interconnected by suspended railings at regular distances. The ceiling itself is laid over the framework. Ceilings can be wooden or PVC slats, rustic or modern panel­ ing, decorative plaster tiles, and terracotta or ceramic ceiling bricks.

Suspended ceilings are suitable for all ty­pes of supporting structures, whether they are made of wood, steel, or concrete. The space between the ceiling and the supporting structure, usually the roof or an up­stairs floor, also allows for the concealment of electrical cables, the installation of an array of low voltage lights, or a ventilation system.

This kind of ceiling is completely indepen­dent

from the floor above, so there is a re­duction in the level of noise vibrations pas­sing through it; that is especially the case with impact noises, such as dropped objects. Best of all, suspended ceilings are easy to install and their low cost al­ lows for the possibility of changing your home’s look more frequently.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have the blues in your decor

Decorate for Fall from the Outside Inâ&#x20AC;Ś

Some blue in the house? Of course! In fact, blue is one of the key trends of the season. Ultramarine, turquoise, navy, azure, periwinkle, indigo, cyan, denim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; blue suits every home interior. All while conjuring dreams of getting away from it all, this co­lour will show off the rooms in your home to advantage.

For a classy space, a pastel blue keeps the room from appearing too heavy. For a seaside effect, a deeper blue combined with a thematic decor and wooden furniture is sure to make waves.

To enhance a more contemporary style, azure blue or blue gray gives the room a modern look.

Blue can also be attractive when used in carefully chosen locations, such as on one section of wall. The idea is to highlight the dimensions of a room by playing with the light. You could also combine two shades of blue, as long as you take care to create a harmonious whole.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of ma­king mistakes, consult a professional who will be able to put you on the right track.

As one of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star colours, blue offers endless decorating possibilities.

Why Move?

IMPROVE

The garage door is the biggest door of the house and it is the one that requires the most attention. In the first place, it has to be chosen well, since it can increase the value of your home by up to 4 percent. Second, it has to be well maintained in order to avoid many of the inconveniences that can arise with a poorly cared-for garage door.

THE RIGHT CHOICE A garage door represents up to 30 percent of your home’s frontage. It is therefore extremely important that it blends with the overall style of the house. Wooden doors are perfect for country-style houses; coated or embossed steel doors blend well with conventional styles; and aluminum doors with transparent, matte, coloured, or frosted glass options are ideal for a modern look.

There are two main types of doors on the market. Up-and-over garage doors are available with a canopy gear or retractable gear mechanism. These doors come in one piece and roll on rails towards the ceiling. Then there are sliding doors, whose panels slide on rails, either on the ceiling or wall.

Square, rectangular, or arched windows can be added to all these models. You just have to match the colour and texture of the windows to the house, according to your taste.

Another aspect that should not be overlooked is the door’s insulation. It helps to keep a stable temperature in the garage and also increases the insulation of adjacent rooms.

PROPER MAINTENANCE A thorough inspection of the garage door should be done once a year. Open and close the garage door manually so that a broken wheel or misaligned panel, which usually results in friction on the rails, will be more obvious. This exercise will also allow you to check the tension in the springs. Any misalignment of this type prevents the door from remaining at a standstill when it is ajar and makes it very heavy to lift. Such a problem puts a strain on the door’s motor and shortens its lifespan. At the same time, check the solidity of the door’s anchorage and assembly. And don’t forget to take a look at the weather stripping; it should follow the contour of the door perfectly.

The next step is to lubricate all moving parts of the door hardware, track, and weather stripping with silicone oil; avoid petroleum-based products.

These parts should also be washed, along with the door panels, using a mild soap such as that used for cars.

Adjusting the lifting system of a garage door (springs, cables, and other parts) is a delicate task with certain inherent dangers. If you decide to tackle the job yourself, be sure to purchase parts that are marketed as easy and fast to install. But, before starting the work, think carefully about your abilities. It is, in fact, recommended to entrust this task to a professional. After all, for only a few more dollars you might avoid a lot of headaches.

1 saw, 1 hat, 3 cans of fuel and 4 years of warranty. It all adds up to one great deal from Husqvarna.

What’s new in the bathroom?

A breath of fresh air is blowing through bathrooms everywhere — in terms of style, that is. Yes, this year, ceramic tiles are bolder than ever. Geometric shapes and imposing motifs are juxtaposed to create a masterful visual effect in a dynamic and energizing decor.

Even though black and white take up a certain amount of room, colour is also making its mark. For a contemporary decor, complementary colours and patterns of varying sizes are used. Ceramic tiles with a matte finish give the bathroom an amazing touch of originality. Ceramic tiles that mimic wood grain now give wood a fair chance in the bathroom world.

Available in different grain finishes, these tiles can even mi­ mic the look of a barn wood floor.

Popular for some time in Europe, Japan, and other countries, walk-in showers are becoming all the rage in North Ame­ri­can bathrooms. These shower spaces are installed flush with the floor, making them an integral part of the larger room. They usually include a column faucet and a rain shower head. The walls on each side remain open, as there are no body jets. The floor of the shower can be the same as the rest of the bathroom or it can be accentuated with different tiles.

In keeping with the trend for uncluttered bathrooms, free of all superfluous elements, the vanity should be freestanding. Baseless and without legs, the vanity is simply attached to the wall, floating above the floor for an effect of lightness and space. It can take on a vintage or contemporary look to fit into any decor.

Popular in Europe and Japan, walk-in showers are now making their way into Canadian bathrooms.

Appliances with character How about some pop art colours to brighten up your home? Now, that’s a good idea. What would you say to getting rid of your dull appliances that are chipped or rusted and replacing them with beautiful appliances in modern colours? If your budget is thin, no worries — if you can’t make your dollars stretch that far, you can revamp your kitchen or laundry room with just a few da­ring brushstrokes.

Repainting appliances just doesn’t occur to most people, and yet it is a really simple way of giving a room a bit of pep. A bottle green fridge, navy blue dryer, or canary yellow dishwasher? Why not? Let your imagination run wild.

Before getting started, be sure to clean the appliance with a degreaser.

Then sand it lightly so that the paint will adhere to the surface. Use a cloth to remove the dust. Paint small details first with a brush, then larger areas with a roller in a crisscross motion. Opt for two or three thin layers, depending on the desired result, and be sure to respect the recommended drying time be­tween each coat.

Of course, you’ll be spoiled for choice as far as colours and finishes are concerned, as a wide variety of paint products are available in stores and hardware stores. If you prefer to use spray paint, make sure to spray the paint about 30 cm from the ap­p liance, and pro­­ceed with even, fluid movements.

Would you love to change your appliances? Give them some pep with a simple coat of paint!

Is it time to change your dishwasher?

What features should you look out for?

You probably already know that you want a quiet, efficient appliance; after all, you don’t want to have to rewash any dishes by hand, once the cycle is complete. You also want it to be ecofriendly and have a reasonable life span. And above all, you want value for your money.

Take note of some measurements before you start shopping around. In general, under-the-counter built-in dishwashers measure 45 cm wide for 8 place settings or 60 cm for a capacity of between 12 and 16 place settings, depending on the interior layout of the appliance. You may be interested to know that you can hide a dishwasher behind one of your kitchen cabinet doors in order for it to blend in perfectly with your decor. However, if you don’t have

enough room for a built-in model, a dishwasher on wheels, which can be moved around, will also do nicely.

Models with stainless steel or po­ lypropylene interiors tend to deteriorate less quickly. The latter of­ fers better sound insulation, while stainless steel is more resistant to scrat­ches, stains, and odors. A stainless steel interior won’t make your dishes cleaner or dry them any better, however.

Opt for a dishwasher with an eco­ nomy cycle that will let you re­duce your annual consumption of water and electricity by more than 40 percent.

Also, new appliances can now be found on the market that use electronic sensors to de­termine the required amount of wa­ter, temperature, and wash time based on the dirtiness of the dishes.

Now, isn’t that great!

The paintjob on your walls is definitely looking its age, and a new layer of colour is way overdue. Deciding to repaint your en­tire home from top to bottom is a huge job, one you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to do all by yourself.

This is exactly the time to start the search for a professional painter.

To find a good painter, various criteria have to be taken into account. Word of mouth is one solution, of course, because it is an as­surance of the quality of a painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Above all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to regret your choice once the job is done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the final ap­pearance of your home depends on the painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills.

Asking for a quote is another way to choose a qualified painter. Painters have varying ways of billing their customers and there are no regulations concerning pricing. Being able to compare prices gives you some guidelines when making your choice. You can decide to be charged by the hour or on a per-job basis; the latter is less stressful because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know what to expect in terms of the end cost.

Here is what the quote should include: the first item should be the total amount of work; then comes the type of paint to be used; and lastly, the details, such as the washing of walls, the repairing of holes, and measures to protect floors and furniture from paint. Get clear with the contractor about the moving of furniture, taking down pictures, the closets to be paint-

Playing with retro Do you have lots of old records that are ta­king up way too much space or are due for the scrap heap? And what about those antiquated stools that are anything but trendy? Kill two birds with one stone and give them a retro look! To enhance stools in a jiffy, you’ll need: • a vinyl record • sandpaper • an old stool • contact cement • steel wool • black paint 1. First of all, remove the seat from the stool. Smooth the edges with sandpaper, if necessary, and then paint them black.

2. Use steel wool to rub the legs of the stool to restore their sparkle.

3. When the seat is dry, reattach it to the stool. Apply contact cement to both the seat and the back of the vinyl record then glue the record to the surface of the seat. You could also stack several records, one on top of the other.

All you have to do now is to leave everything to dry. Repeat the previous steps for each stool that you want to revamp in vintage fashion. This simple idea is sure to bring a touch of rock ‘n’ roll into your home. Moreover, the same principle can also be applied to a bedside table — glue a few 45s to the top of the table and then cover your creation with protective glass.

For a great vintage touch, use old vinyl records to revamp a stool or bedside table.

Save Big on your heating bills this winter.

Now is the time to plan ahead!

Evoke summer all year round After a summer of sun and glorious heat, the return of dark evenings and cold nights is often greeted with a certain amount of ap­prehension. But by adding a reminder of summer to your home, this impending sense of gloom can be dispelled.

Sparkle = colour

Paint a wall in a sunny yellow, azure blue, or mossy green. Add a brightly coloured ac­cessory, such as a pastoral painting, a cherry red cushion, or a throw woven in a mixture of chestnut, orange, and lemon tones. If your home is decorated primarily with neutral or dark shades, choose a contrasting colour to add a touch of sparkle.

Sun = lighting

To remind yourself of summer and to fight seasonal depression, there’s nothing like bright, vibrant lighting that mimics sunlight. This kind of light makes a room look bigger and more

cheerful, all while boosting people’s spirits. If parts of your home tend to be dark, don’t hesitate to add some different types of lighting, which should be strategically positioned to illuminate each area. Move a favourite armchair or sofa closer to the window to maximize the light. Mirrors also help to add light by enlarging the room and reflecting even the smallest beam of light.

Cheerfulness = accessories

Accessories can be used to create a cheerful atmosphere in a dark or dull setting. Sometimes all it takes is a pretty doormat to put some sunshine into a dark day.

A fun vase, some wildly designed sofa cushions, or an unusual chandelier can breathe new life into a room. Just be sure to avoid overloading the decor so as to maintain an airy and welcoming atmosphere.

PROSSER – In loving memory of Donald Carl Prosser who passed away September 25, 2004.

Our Dear Donnie, It’s been 10 years since you passed away, And sometimes it seems like yesterday; Your time on earth was far too short, But you will always live on in all our hearts.

We try to tell your nephews and nieces about you and how much you loved them. Donnie, Stuart still talks about the 2 hour steering wheel job that took 1 week. Donnie we have so many good memories of you, we reminisce a lot and what you would do today and by the way they all miss your cherry cheesecake at all our family get togethers.

Mom and Stuart and the Great Eight Plus STEACY, Marie - In loving memory of my twin sister and a dear aunt, Marie, who passed away September 26, 2013.

Those we love don’t go away They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near Still loved, still missed and and very dear.

Lovingly remembered by sister Marion and family.

MARIE STEACY In her life-long favourite room, the room before dawn, work and after dusk upon returning from work, where she extended her favourite work, cooking and communicating, she died on September 26, 2013 adding shock to the many memories. As difficult as it is watching a loved one take final breaths and sensing the unknown level of pain, there’s comfort in knowing the good day had and good neighbours regularly there, quick to get family and emergency services; as empty and surreal as the loss feels, there’s replenishment from the apparency of a parent’s infinite investment: modeling Christianity especially prioritizing God, attending church, cherishing His creations, finding quiet reflection time, making quality fellowship time, laughing, educating, protecting the vulnerable, understanding and accepting different abilities, promoting talents, supporting challenges, forgiving, being patient, having faith, showing courage, adjusting gracefully all the while. Mom, like Dad, is the reason we’re here and able to manage “the climb”. Timothy 1:5,6: I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived 1st in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you.

For this reason, I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands, THANKS! We love you, miss you and are blessed having the Holy Spirit and your spirit with us and what you stood for – our legacy.

Debra, Tom, their partners Charles and Lisa, and your grandchildren, Dawson, Chelsea and T. Jay XOXOXO

Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

ENERGY TIP! Dress warmly when indoors. Lower your thermostat by two degrees. You could save as much as four percent on your heating bill.
