Upper Canada Village adds new exhibits to Pumpkinferno

By TIM RUHNKE

truhnke@metroland.com

Events – Pumpkinferno has become a shining example of a successful fall festival.

The third edition of the attraction at Upper Canada Village (UCV) premiered on Friday, Oct. 3 and is open to the public on select nights between now and the beginning of November. The nighttime walking tour brings tens of thousands of people to UCV and the Morrisburg area each fall.

“It’s definitely a significant part of our operations,” said Susan Le Clair, manager of customer service and corporate

communications.

Pumpkinfest visitors will be able to check out 30 exhibits that contain a total of more than 6,000 intricately carved and lit artificial pumpkins. This year’s presentation includes new exhibits that include the animals of Noah’s Ark as well as nine Ford vehicles. “Monster Smash” features iconic Halloween movie monsters. The redesigned sound and light show – Pumpkin Promenade – is an exhibit in front of Crysler Hall.

Overall refinements to the displays include additional wall-washer and mood lighting as well as more sound effects.

It takes about 40 minutes to navigate

Set-up takes about two weeks and follows the end of the summer season at UCV. The creative group is led by Liam Mills, whose designs are taken by a team of students and brought to life in the pumpkins and displays.

“Our whole team is very excited to share this newly inspired experience with our visitors,” stated UCV Manager Geoff Waycik, who added that the new festival has “…raised the bar creatively on the level of artistry of the exhibits we will have on display.”

Pumpkinferno attendance in season one totalled 35,000; the number rose to 38,000 in 2013. The UCV attraction was named “Best New Event” by Festivals and Events Ontario and “Tourism Event of the Year” by the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario.

Le Clair indicated that the fall event extends the UCV season into the fall and brings new business and visits to the area.

Friday started out as being a pleasant evening as guests began to arrive at the village to catch the first glimpse of Pumpkinferno 2014. Among those on hand for opening night was Nina Grenier of Montreal, who travelled to Morrisburg with three generations of her family.

Grenier said she heard about the attraction from a neighbour and went online to learn more about it. The visitors had a meal at the Harvest Barn before seeing Pumpkinferno for themselves. “I love it,” she commented near the end of the walking tour.

Alexis Grenkie of Morrisburg indicated that she really liked the Hall of Horoscopes. Alexis – a Pisces – is looking for-

News – To hear more regarding the views and priorities of the Brockville mayoral and councillor candidates, People First of Brockville has organized a Mayoral Debate and Councillor Speedmeet.

This event will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 15, from 5 to 8 p.m., at the Brockville Convention Centre, 7829 Kent Ave. “This debate is being held to promote the issues talked about at the Community Awareness Forum of the spring,” said People First Secretary Joseph Boisvenue.

According to People First President Elizabeth Sahl, “It doesn’t matter if you have a disability or not; housing, transportation, employment and inclusion for all are important to everyone.”

People First Brockville is an organization with people who have been labelled with an intellectual disability. This group belongs to People First Ontario and People First Canada Network.

All are welcome to this free debate and speed-meet.

The first hour of the evening is devoted to the Speedmeet for the councillor candidates. As people gather to sit at any of the nine tables, two councillor candidates will sit down at a table.

Those at the table will have the opportunity to ask these individuals questions. When five minutes is up, the candidates will move to the next table and the process starts over for another five minutes.

As time draws to a close on the Councillor Speedmeet, the Mayoral Debate will begin. All three mayoral candidates, David Henderson, Louise Severson and Cec Drake have confirmed attendance and will be asked prepared questions by People First. The questions are derived from the March 2014 Community Awareness Forum wherein several politicians, community leaders, school board, police and fire department members attended. The issues that materialized from that discussion were safe, affordable housing, accessible transportation, good paying employment and inclusion for all.

When the Mayoral Debate begins, each candidate will have five minutes for an introduction; each will be given four questions on those key issues - housing, transportation, employment and inclusion. The respondents will have three minutes to answer each question. At the end of the session, five minutes will be extended to each mayoral candidate to wrap-up.

The public will not be able to ask questions during the debate. Should people wish to speak with the candidates, they are asked to wait until the event comes to a close.

When e-mailing your intention to attend People First Mayoral Debate and Councillor Speedmeet, the public can also send questions to be asked to the councillor candidates. The e-mail address is peoplefirstbrockville@gmail.com.

and Cornwall. Twenty-one per cent of visitors in 2013 were from Ottawa, she noted.

Pumpkinferno is open for five straight nights beginning today and ending on Thanksgiving (Monday, Oct. 13). The attraction will also be open next Thursday, Oct. 16 through Sunday, Oct. 19 and again each night from Thursday, Oct. 23 to Saturday, Nov. 1. Hours are 7 to 10 p.m. except during the final stretch of nights when gates open at 6:30.

There is also a special Pumpkinferno night next Wednesday, Oct. 15 that has been set aside for the exclusive use by groups of people with physical disabilities.

Special-needs vans and parabuses will be permitted to drive through the village to see the pumpkin displays. A UCV staff member familiar with the attraction will be provided to lead vehicles through the site. Coaches and school buses cannot be accommodated. Reservations for the special night are required; call 1-800-437-2233.

Another reason that Pumpkinferno has become a must-see event is the partnership with Upper Canada District School Board and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. More than 1,000 students from grades Kindergarten through 8 take part

in the Painted Pumpkin Art exhibit in the UCV fair grounds.

The display located near the end of the tour features several rows of real pumpkins painted by the youngsters.

Pumpkinferno tickets are $13 for visitors between the ages of 13 and 64 and $10 for seniors and for children between six and 12. Kids five and younger are admitted free of charge. On special-needs night on Oct. 15, prices are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and children.

To avoid lining up for tickets at the site on the south side of County Road 2 east of Morrisburg, advance purchases to gain express entry into Pumpkinfest are recommended. All online ticket purchases are subject to an administration fee.

Willard’s Hotel and the Harvest Barn Restaurant at UCV will be open during Pumpkinferno, as will the Upper Canada Golf Course Restaurant across the road.

Combo ticket deals involving other major attractions are also available. Take in Pumpkinferno as well as Fort Fright at Fort Henry in Kingston this fall or return to UCV for Alight at Night in December.

For tickets or more information, visit www.Pumpkinferno. com or call 1-800-437-2233.

‘Smoke alarms save lives: test yours every month’ theme for Fire Prevention Week

By DOREEN BARNES

which doesn’t come into effect until the middle of October, listen to the local news media for more guidelines as to the number of carbon monoxide alarms needed and where they need to be located, which will affect the multi-residential people,” said Healy. “We are receiving telephone calls regarding the number needed. The preliminary draft of the legislation showed one in the room of carbon monoxide source, boiler room, electrical room or wherever it is; one in every adjoining suite to that room; all four sides, above and below.”

Healy didn’t know if the law would mimic the smoke alarm requirements, with one on every level or if one unit would be required outside all sleeping areas.

Fire Prevention Week “The main events we are doing are our fire crews will be at fire drills in all the schools in the City of Brockville, where children attend,” said Healy. “Three total fire evacuations conducted each semester, fall and spring.”

This year, Domino Pizza is partnering with the Fire Crew wherein they will follow the delivery driver on his home delivery. Once at the residence, the Fire Crew will conduct a fire alarm check and if they are found to be in working order, then that pizza order will be free.

“I don’t know if there’s a limit on the free pizzas,” said Healy. “This will take place on Thursday, Oct. 9.”

0703.R0012780149

News – Fire Prevention Week started on Sunday, Oct. 5, with both Brockville Chief Fire Prevention Officer Greg Healy and Fire Prevention Officer Matt Tyo looking forward to visiting schools to talk with students, as well as educating the public and multiresidential owners.

The theme for 2014 is Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!

The reason for Fire Prevention Week is a direct result of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, in the States, with Canada eventually adopting this important idea to keep the public informed about fire prevention.

An example of keeping the public informed is the recall of the Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm.

According to Healy, the defective unit is the hardwired Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarms that are being taken off the market, not the battery-operated ones.

“It is only units that were manufactured between Jan. 2 to May 13, 2014,” said Healy. “The reason for the recall is relative to the diagnostics. If the alarm failed during the beginning of the diagnostic process, the unit may latch in the closed position, becoming a non functioning alarm.”

If a homeowner in Brockville has a concern, Healy suggests they call the Fire Prevention Department and they will go to the home to check the alarm, 613-498-1261, extension 2517.

Carbon Monoxide Legislation “With regards to the carbon monoxide legislation,

Brockville Fire Prevention Secretary Linda McLennan (left) holds fire safety units as Chief Fire Prevention Officer Greg Healy draws attention to the banner on the side of Fire Station #1 located at 61 Perth Street. The panel Healy is holding refers to this year’s theme of Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!

Healy mentioned that the Fire Prevention Crew will be at Brockville’s Walmart Superstore, Friday evening, Oct. 10, from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., with a combination of the Athens, Augusta, Brockville, ElizabethtownKitley and Front of Yonge fire department members.

Fire Code Property Management Seminar The Fire Prevention Department is hosting a fire safety information seminar to education property owners, management, superintendents and tenants of residential rental properties.

This event takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at the Brockville Memorial Civic Centre on Magedoma Drive at two different time slots. One is the afternoon session from 1 to 3 p.m.; the evening is 7 to 9 p.m., at the same location.

“We will discuss the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code and what they need to do,” said Healy.

“We will talk about the responsibilities of the owners, managers, superintendents and tenants. Smoking, hoarding and general housekeeping issues that create a fire risk will also be talked about.”

Reference material will be available and the department is asking for people to register, 613-498-1261, extension 2517. There’s no cost to attend. “The definition of owner in the Fire Code does not necessary mean the deeded owner of the building,” said Healy. “Anybody that basically has care and control of the building and sometimes including tenants can be classified as owners.”

This seminar is also open to the public should they wish to attend, especially anyone thinking of

purchasing a multi-residential property.

Sample forms for testing and maintenance of fire safety equipment will also be available.

“This event is not a training event, but in the Fire Code there are requirements for certain documentation to be in place upon inspection or repair,” indicated Healy. “These documents need to be maintained and available upon request of an inspector. Fire extinguisher should be checked every month and signed off on the attached tag or in a log.”

In addition to the fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems also need to be tested on a monthly basis.

“Closures and fire separations which are fire doors and suite doors have to be inspected monthly,” added Healy, “to make sure they function properly, as well as emergency lighting and the illumination of exit signs. Buildings with sprinkler systems must be checked on a monthly basis.”

Some of these requirements are dependent on the number of individuals in the building.

“The newest addition is the carbon monoxide alarm,” said Healy. “Making sure they are installed, tested and maintained.”

The reason for tenants to attend would be a better understanding of what the requirement is for the owner in order to maintain this building to fire code compliance. For owners unable to attend either session, Healy asks those individuals to give the Fire Prevention Department a call to indicate if they would be interested in a spring seminar. If telephone calls warrant another seminar sooner, one would be organized.

vices are critical in helping family caregivers and supporting seniors and persons with physical disabilities to remain in their own homes. There is a need to increase these services to meet the current demands, with wait lists and the growing demand for services.

October is the time to celebrate community support across the province. It is our time to profile and thank the dedicated staff and volunteers of our community support agencies who deliver critical services to frail seniors, persons with disabilities or debilitating chronic diseases and their families.

Community support agencies provide a wide variety of services such as attendant care, adult day programs, Meals on Wheels, respite for family caregivers, personal care and home support, transportation to medical appointments, home care and supportive housing programs just to name a few.

The unsustainability of the growing health budget is a concern for government and Ontarians alike; by supporting a strong and robust home and community care sector, the government gets better value for the dollars they spend. Home and community support services are the key to a sustainable healthcare system.

Community support agencies are working with their partners; the Local Health Integration Networks, Community Care Access Centres and other health care providers to integrate care for Ontarians. Their services help alleviate backlogs in emergency rooms and get people out of hospital beds and back home with programs that help them manage their chronic diseases, and reduce demand on long-term care homes and acute care health services.

“The demand for community support continues to grow as our population ages. For too long we have had a healthcare system that is reactionary and focused on institutional care.

There is a time and place for that type of care but there is also a need for services that allow people to take ownership, celebrate their independence and be supported where they want to be in order to live the best lives they can,” said Deborah Simon, CEO of the Ontario Community Support Association.

The association (OCSA) is the voice of the home and community support sector. Across the province each year, more than a million people receive home care and community support services that are important, cost-effective measures that prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, emergency room visits and premature institutionalization.

Letter to the Editor

Trade deal does not serve democracy DEAR EDITOR:

Prime Minister Harper looked very pleased with himself as he announced the signing of CETA, the “free” trade deal with the EU. He promised us 80,000 new jobs (Hudak promised Ontario a million new jobs). We wonder, is that in the first year, or after five years, or what?

Compared to Hudak’s promise, it is no big deal. But he also promised us $37 billion more in trade per year. Again, is that in the first year, or after 10 years, or what? Is that $37 billion to be split with the EU? These figures, of course, are more fiction than fact.

Harper believes in saviours. Trade deals and the tar sands are his saviours for Canada.

Common sense tells us that Europe doesn’t want our manufactured goods. It gets its goods from China, as do we. It wants our resources, which it will get cheaper, and our agricultural products, but Canadian beef producers are not able to meet the current quotas of hormone-free beef to the EU now, let alone meet higher quotas.

As for the tariffs on non-agricultural products, they are already low.

It is the large corporations that will benefit from this deal, as they See LETTER page 9

Editorial –Many of us do not respond well to bad news. We might put on a brave face or try to ignore it; that’s understandable.

Businesses and organizations are often ill-equipped to handle adversity and sometimes make a bad situation worse by the way they respond publicly to the situation.

We expected that the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) would emphasize the positive when the most recent batch of EQAO Grade 9 math and Grade 10 literacy test results were released, and that appeared to be the case. A UCDSB news release noted that board-wide results in the academic math component of the standardized province-wide assessments remained stable over two years. It was also stated that the 2013-2014 literacy test result – 73 per cent of Upper Canada students attained the provincial standard – was …”down just two per cent from the previous year,” making it seem like that was some sort of achievement.

The bottom line is the public board is not making up ground; UCDSB continues to trail the provincial results in most areas and remains well back of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. EQAO assessments do not tell the whole story of what is going on at a particular school, and we know there are talented and caring educators who work for the Upper Canada board and are doing what they can to serve the best interests of students. The thing is, the numbers do not provide much in the way of reassurance or comfort to parents who might or might not have options when it comes to where they send their kids to school. We understand why the board would want to proclaim that, under the circumstances, the EQAO results remain stable. The percentage that met the provincial standard didn’t go up from one year to the next, but it didn’t go down either. Even though the numbers represent a snapshot of how schools and school boards are doing, it’s not a good-news story for UCDSB.

Bad Marguirite felt Mary’s birthday gift was lacking Lifestyle - Rare indeed were the times we girls of the Northcote School were ever invited to play at bad Marguirite’s home. But that week, nine of us, all of us who were in the Junior grades got little invitations handed out by bad Marguirite herself! They were done up with real printing, no doubt on one of those new typewriters that we read about in the Ottawa Farm Journal, and we were all invited to a party to celebrate Marguirite’s eighth birthday.

Well! This demanded a meeting at the Northcote School, let me tell you! Cora said we should all just not go.

Joyce said that would be very bad manners. Velma and I said we wouldn’t miss it for the world! For days, we could talk about nothing else.

I was the only one who had ever been in bad Marguirite’s house, and that was a

day I would be happy to forget about. I barely got my nose inside the door when Marguirite and I got into an argument, and I was hustled home in her mother’s car, before I had a chance to even have a good look around. I knew for a fact there were electric lights and a flush toilet, because Marguirite made sure we all knew about her modern conveniences.

There I was gypped out of trying either. Imagine a flush toilet, not a little

hut behind the cedar trees at the back of the house, and electric lights just like they had in the houses in Renfrew!

The party was on a Saturday, and we were all decked out in our very best clothes...the ones we wore to church on Sundays. When we arrived on the dot, Marguirite looked like she had just stepped out of a gift box. Her artificial curls were tight around her head and looked for all the world like little golden sausages. I could have sworn she had on lipstick and a spattering of rouge!

Her mother shook hands with us, just like the minister did after church on Sunday, and it didn’t take long for her to get us playing games, quiet ones, like snakes and ladders and Chinese checkers, and there were prizes for the winners.

Finally, we are shuffled out of the par-

lour and into the dining room...Joyce’s house was the only one I knew of which had a dining room...the rest of us ate our meals around old pine tables in our kitchens. There was even a white table cloth spread out, and in the very centre of the table was a cake with candles, and in front of each of our plates was a little bag like Mr. Briscoe used to measure out black pepper. A gift for each of us to take home.

But before we could have our cake, Marguirite’s mother brought in all our presents and put them in front of Marguirite in a heap. My gift seemed to be the biggest in the pile, but I had taken a heart shaped box that had once held chocolates, and arranged inside of it a lace hanky Aunt Lizzie had sent me in the hand-me-down box. There was certainly no money for frivolities like

expensive birthday presents! Even at that, I hated giving up the little hanky, the only nice one I had with real lace on it. And the box had held little treasures I had collected, like shiny stones, my own hankie with a few pennies tied in a corner, and hair ribbons I kept for special occasions. There I was handing over two of my most precious possessions to a girl who did nothing but cause me anguish at the Northcote school!

Finally, she was down to my present. My sister Audrey had wrapped it in red tissue paper that had been ironed and which was once wrapped around a Christmas present. Marguirite tore into the parcel, which I thought was very extravagant indeed. We would have resaved the paper at our house!

I could tell she loved the heart shaped box, with the hand-painted face on the top. She lifted the lid and gazed at the lace hanky, which I read immediately as pure delight. She took out the hanky, and stared at the inside of the box.

Then she said, “Where’s the chocolates?”

Her mother quickly held up the hanky and made clucking sounds of approval, while bad Marguirite looked at me as if I had just stolen eggs out of their chicken coop.

While the cake was doled out, Marguirite never took her eyes off me, and I had the worst urge to ask for both the hanky and the heart shaped box

News – South Dundas Fire & Emergency Services has received corporate support for its “Alarm for Life” program.

Jake Lapierre, Union Gas utility service construction manager for Cornwall, presented a cheque for $2,500 to South Dundas Fire & Emergency Services Fire Chief, Chris McDonough, at the organization’s fourth annual open house held at the Morrisburg fire station on Saturday, Oct. 4. The event is part of Fire Prevention Week, which runs from Oct. 5-11.

In Sept. 1995, the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council launched Alarmed for Life, a provincial home smoke alarm safety check program. This program involves local fire department’s conducting home fire safety checks. The object of the smoke alarm program is the provision, installation and maintenance of a working smoke alarm in every residence in the municipality.

Volunteer Fire Fighters go door-to-door distributing pamphlets, instructing residents regarding smoke alarms and escape planning, providing advice and/or assistance on the installation of smoke and CO alarms, and providing alarms and batteries free of charge when required.

“At Union Gas, we are committed to the safety of our employees and our communities,” said Lapierre. “And we show that commitment by investing in local fire departments whose fire prevention, education and fire suppression programs help us all stay safer.”

“South Dundas Fire continues to actively promote fire and life safety throughout the community with their door-to-door campaign,” McDonough stated in a release. “We are very pleased, once again, to receive this generous donation from Union Gas.” Last year, Union Gas donated close to $3 million to community and charitable organizations in Ontario, including over $928,000 to United Way. South Dundas Fire & Emergency Services provides full fire protection coverage, including suppression, prevention and education programs, inspections, fire code reviews and pre-planning, as well as various emergency rescues.

Hunters should also look out for ticks

Lifestyle – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to remind those enjoying hunting activities to be aware they also share the great outdoors with ticks that can make them sick.

Lyme disease is caused by being bitten by an infected tick. In Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, there are several different types of ticks. The disease is caused by the bite of an infected black-legged tick (also known as deer ticks). Lyme disease is regularly found within the local geographic area.

A tick must be attached to the person for at least 24-36 hours in order to transmit Lyme disease. A tick that was attached for less than 24 hours, even if it did carry the bacteria, could not transmit Lyme disease because it was not attached long enough. If a tick is attached for longer than 24 hours, and removed within the past 72 hours then it is important to contact a health-care provider.

To minimize exposure, wear light coloured, long sleeved shirts and long pants. For extra protection, tuck your pants into your socks. Use bug repellent containing DEET. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying the repellent on anyone.

When returning from the outdoors, a person should check his or her entire body thoroughly for ticks, including the scalp.

If an attached tick is found, remove it promptly using a pair of tweezers or a tick remover. Grasp the tick’s head and mouth parts as close to the skin as possible and pull it straight out gently, but firmly. Avoid twisting or squeezing the tick during removal. Quick removal of a tick could prevent the person from getting Lyme disease.

The public is reminded that the health unit stopped accepting ticks to send away for surveillance testing on July 1.The unit’s surveillance program now consists

of an active surveillance strategy in which ticks are sought and collected from areas where they may be emerging.

The change in how surveillance is done will not affect clinical care. Testing of ticks was not intended for the purpose of diagnosing disease; it was a tool for surveillance. Even if the tick was positive for the bacteria, it did not mean the tick transmitted the bacteria to the individual. The length of time the tick is attached is a key factor in the transmission of Lyme disease. Remember that if a tick is attached for longer than 24 hours and removed within the past 72 hours, then it is important to contact a health-care provider.

For further information on Lyme disease, contact the health unit at 613-3455685 or the Health Action Line at 1-800660-5853 or visit www.healthunit.org.

Trying to protect children from harm Lifestyle – October is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) and Children’s Aid Societies (CASs) are calling on the community to help protect children from fear, harm and violence, and to support families in crisis.

OACAS and CASs are spreading the message that child safety and family welfare depend on the involvement of the community. It is every Ontarian’s responsibility to protect children, the most vulnerable members of our community, and report any suspicion that a child may be in need of protection.

The Honourable Tracy MacCharles, minister of children and youth services, said: “Our government believes that every child in Ontario deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. That is why I am joining the members of the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies in urging those who may have witnessed abuse or neglect to report it.

It’s the right thing to do.”

This year, the campaign will focus on building awareness of the signs of child abuse and neglect and the role of the community in reporting any concern that a child may be in need of protection.

OACAS child abuse prevention materials include new duty to report information on the role of all Ontarians to report suspected child abuse and neglect and help protect children from harm.

Lifestyle – With temperatures dropping, furnaces switching on and early snowstorms already hitting parts of Canada, Superior Propane is helping customers prepare their homes for what the Old Farmers Almanac predicts will be another fierce winter.

“Last winter, extreme weather and an unprecedented demand for propane for grain drying in Canada & the US, led to temporary price surges and strained the nation’s transportation infrastructure impacting propane supply to many Canadians across the country.” said Greg McCamus, president of Superior Propane. “With the largest retail storage capacity for propane in the country, Superior is uniquely positioned to ensure consistent, reliable supply to our customers. As the only truly national provider of propane in Canada, our customer’s comfort is our number one priority and we make every effort to continu-

ously improve our service and delivery performance to meet customers’ needs from coast to coast.

“We also want to make sure homeowners and families know that propane is a more affordable heating option compared to some others, and by filling tanks early, locking in prices for the season and ensuring your home is winter-ready, propane customers can have a comfortable and safe winter with no surprises” he added.

Here are 10 steps to ensuring affordable comfort and safety in the home this winter.

The Winter-Ready Checklist: Check that your heating system and appliances are running efficiently. Have your furnace serviced along with your appliances and propane system. When appliances are running as efficiently as possible, you conserve fuel and save money.

Fill propane tanks now and

take advantage of fixed price programs for the winter.

Make arrangements for automatic propane fills. This will help avoid running empty if inaccessible roads delay deliveries.

Sign up for the one of a kind Superior SMART* Tank notification system so you can be notified by email or text of your tank level and be informed when fills have happened.

Set a programmable thermostat. You could save up to 10 percent per year on heating costs by using a programmable thermostat, and by resetting it when you are asleep or away from home.

Reduce energy for water heating. Water heating is a large energy expense, accounting for about 14 to 18 percent of most home utility bills. By taking low-cost steps such as making sure your water heater is set to no higher than 50 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) and installing

low-flow showerheads or temperature sensitive shower valves, you can reduce your water heating bills.

Make sure the attic floor is well insulated. This will minimize the amount of heat rising through the attic from within the house.

Seal cracks and holes in outside walls and foundations near water pipes with caulking.

Consider purchasing a propane generator. In bad winter weather power outages are not uncommon. When other power sources fail, a propane generator can keep your house operating without interruption until the power is restored Use sunlight to your advantage. During winter months, you can take advantage of sunlight by opening your curtains during the day to allow the sun to naturally heat your home.

Gone Girl twisted, unnerving and brilliant My Take

Mark haskins

This isn’t a psychological movie, it’s a psychopathic movie. I was utterly drawn into its story, and mesmerized by its characters. It got to the point where I couldn’t wait to see where this film would take me next, and it was never where I anticipated.

Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry and Kim Dickens are really good. They aren’t just good in a supporting cast means-to-an-end kind of way, but good in the truly memorable performance kind of way. Then there’s Carrie Coons.

Where has she been hiding, and why isn’t she in more films? She is incredible.

I’ve always been a fan of Ben Affleck and his work. This film however is something special. This performance is something special.

Rosamund Pike is a gifted actor with the kind of range that means she can play almost any part. After seeing her as Amy I’ve decided she isn’t just gifted, but extraordinary.

Gone Girl is twisted, unnerving and even frustrating.

It’s also brilliant.

looks. Even his sister Margo (Carrier Coon) starts to have doubts.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse for Nick the film flashes back to tell the story from Amy’s point of view.

That’s when the film gets really twisted.

That’s when you begin to realize just how bad it really is for Nick.

My criteria for judging a film is simple. I try to determine the film’s goal, and if the film is successful in achieving its goal. If the goal of a movie is to make you laugh, and you laugh then it’s a good movie. As near as I can figure the goal of Gone Girl is to draw you into a seemingly simple murder mystery, then make your jaw hit the floor in total bewilderment, and finally make you feel frustrated and angry.

MOVIE: Gone Girl STARRING: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Carrie Coon, Neil Patrick Harris, Kim Dickens and Tyler Perry DIRECTOR: David Fincher RATING: 14A Entertainment – I have seen some messed up movies over the years. Movies that were truly twisted. Gone Girl is on a whole other level.

It begins when Nick (Ben Affleck) comes home, and can’t find his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike). He finds signs of a struggle, so he calls the police. Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens) gets the call, and begins the investigation right away.

They start a man hunt for Amy believing she has been abducted. The media gets a hold of the story, and it goes from a local missing person to a nationwide search for Amy. Then Detective Boney finds evidence of a blood pool in Nick’s kitchen, and it’s suddenly a murder investigation.

Nick becomes the prime suspect.

His life is put under a microscope, and it doesn’t look good. He’s been lying to police about his life with Amy, a life that’s far from perfect. The more the media and the police dig, the guiltier Nick

Weather-related setbacks fail to make big dent in farm values pean buyers contributed to demand in previous years, the influence of foreign investors has dropped slightly with the rise of the Canadian dollar against the euro, which began in 2010 and peaked in 2013. With the notable exception of Alberta, Chatham-Kent and parts of the Ottawa Valley in Ontario where significant price increases are expected to continue, the value of farmland is expected to stabilize or achieve moderate growth in the coming months.

Ontario-Atlantic Trends “The market for agricultural real estate in Ontario and Atlantic Canada continues to be very strong,” said Gurinder Sandhu, executive vice-president at RE/MAX INTEGRA, Ontario-Atlantic Canada Division. “While the rate of price increases has generally slowed over the past 12 months, farmland values are nevertheless at record highs. We’re reassured that sellers haven’t seen land values depreciate with lower commodity prices and the long, nasty winter – farmers are taking a long-term view and the outlook for agricultural land is still very positive.”

In some parts of Ontario, the price of farmland rose significantly. North of the Greater Toronto Area, agricultural land slated for development reached $54,000 per acre, which is more than double the price for land used for farming in the region. In southwestern Ontario, excellent soil quality in Chatham-Kent boosted the price of farmland up to $25,000 per acre – an increase of nearly 40 per cent over the previous year. While this represented a boon for sellers, it was a barrier to expansion for some buyers. Higher prices in southwestern Ontario led to a small exodus of farmers, particu-

larly Mennonites, northeast to areas including Quinte and Renfrew County where comparable land sold for between $8,000 per acre and $12,000 per acre.

Hobby farms are also popular across Ontario. In Kitchener-Waterloo, buyers looking for the country life lead the market in sales, though buyers in Huron County, London-St. Thomas and Bruce County are finding it more difficult to secure financing because half the property value is derived from buildings.

News - The record-setting pace of growth in Canadian farmland values began to slow in 2014, according to a report released recently by RE/MAX. The RE/MAX Farm Report 2014 highlights market trends in 20 rural communities across Canada. The report shows that the price of farmland in most markets across the country made small increases or held steady over the past 12 months. The full RE/MAX Farm Report 2014, with market activity summaries for all 20 regions, is available here: http://rem.ax/YCjRsm. While strong demand and limited supply continued to edge prices higher and spur farmland sales in many parts of Canada, the report also found that some areas saw prices level off and sales volumes drop. Lower crop prices, floods and a ruthless winter in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario failed to significantly impact the value of agricultural land, though sellers in the areas hardest hit by the harsh winter reported seeing fewer transactions and an increase in the number of days on the market. The price and popularity of land types varied by region, with big demand for berry farms in areas of British Columbia, hobby farms and grassland in parts of Alberta and Regina clay in Saskatchewan. Further east, cash crops and livestock operations are popular in parts of Ontario and Nova Scotia is seeing a growth in the number of vineyards. Overall, the most common type of buyer is the experienced farming family looking to expand an existing operation. The report also found that very local considerations, such as the proximity to a processing facility or the prospective buyer’s existing holdings, drove individual transactions. Where Euro-

Alzheimer Society - I’ve Got the Tools, I’m Ready to Care

By DOREEN BARNES

News – One advocate for the Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville men’s program ‘I’ve Got the Tools, I’m Ready to Care’ is Tom Christie.

He lost his beautiful wife Thelma to the disease last year. During the time she had Alzheimer, Christie felt lost, second guessing his decisions and not sure where to turn for advice.

He explained that this type of men’s meeting group would be so helpful to those caregivers who are going through what he did with his wife.

In fact, Christie will be attending this program to lend support and answer any questions that others may have.

Every third Tuesday of the month, from 10 to 11 a.m., male caregivers are invited to come to the community room at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 374 Stewart Blvd., Brockville to discuss concerns that they may have regarding the care of a loved one who has Alzheimer.

The facilitator of the meetings will

be Hugh Gallaugher, and the format will be based on what the attendees want to discuss.

Topics could include shopping for meals, medication, buying female clothing, gift giving, what to tell friends, where to obtain certain information and the opportunity to talk with people who understand.

All questions will be important and can be asked in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere which is safe and confidential.

So many men in Leeds and Grenville are in the same situation that Christie was, wherein the kitchen or running a household wasn’t known.

“I grew up in a family that the men didn’t go into the kitchen,” said Christie. “While married, I travelled a lot for business, so I wasn’t always there and I didn’t do anything in the kitchen.”

Christie was a director of corporate security for Bell Canada which took him to several cities to live, including overseas. So in 1990, he and Mrs. Christie moved from Ottawa to Brockville to spend their retirement years.

In 2004 Mrs. Christie went to the Ottawa Memory Clinic to be assessed. She found out that she had the beginning stages of Alzheimer.

See ALZHEIMER page 26

Tom Christie holds a framed photo of his beautiful wife, Thelma, who passed away in 2013. She had Alzheimer and Christie was her caregiver since she had been diagnosed. He encourages men who are caregivers to attend the free Alzheimer Society men’s group, I’ve Got the Tools, I’m Ready to Care. Through this program, men can have a cup of coffee, learn, listen, question and share experiences.

ALZHEIMER From page 25

“Her progression was slow,” said Christie. “In 2008, she had a heart attack and needed a triple by-pass which accelerated things. Not only did she have Alzheimer, but she took on vascular dementia. She acknowledged she had Alzheimer. She wasn’t one of those people that denied it. There’s a lot of denial out there.”

Mrs. Christie was a very social outgoing individual with a deep Christian faith.

“She loved people, entertained a lot and was a solid Evangelist,” said Tom. “She was very involved with the church over the years.”

Mrs. Christie passed away in Nov. 2013.

As a person who liked to walk, Mrs. Christie wore a bracelet with her identification on it and Christie would sometimes follow from afar just to make sure she was safe.

“Around 2011 and 2012, the Alzheimer started to accelerate in a way that she would wander,” said Christie.

“I wasn’t taking her to Florida then and she would go out. The police brought her home twice. So, I had to put locks on the doors. That’s when I could not leave her alone.”

Mrs. Christie also had a fall down the stairs when her mobility became an is-

sue and had to be addressed.

Christie holds the local Community Care Access Centre in high regard for the assistance that was given to him during this stressful time.

After an assessment was done, Mrs. Christie had a nurse come to the home to attend her wounds from subsequent falls, which lasted about six or seven months.

“They also provided someone to come in twice a week to help her bathe and even provided respite for me to go out,” added Christie.

Christie used that time for shopping, banking or any other errands that needed attention. One enjoyment he did look forward to was playing snooker at Brockville Seniors Citizens Club.

“It was an outlet for me,” said Christie.

In Mrs. Christie’s last year, she was attending the Adult Day Service at Community and Primary Health Care twice a week.

“They would pick her up in the morning before 9 and they would bring her home in the afternoon by 3 o’clock,” indicated Christie. “That gave me time to go out and do things or visit.”

Christie feels that what he has learned from this experience is that if there’s any suspicion as to whether a spouse has dementia, he suggests getting an assessment and to remember that the caregiver

cannot take care of their loved all alone.

“You really do not know how to handle a situation until you get professional help,” stated Christie. “Along with the assessment were a psychiatrist and psychologist that came to see where she was at. This was also someone for me to talk to. You have to look for outside help. You will not find it in the family, because families are busy and they have their own lives. Families are not always close by. You have to learn to utilize what is available and there is a lot available. You just have to ask.”

According to Christie, when it comes to pride or being embarrassed because a loved one has Alzheimer, leave it at the door as there’s no time to worry about it.

Christie still goes to the Alzheimer Caregiver Support group and he sees others although their wives have passed away. While there, they share some of the problems that they were faced with and how they found a solution.

“Just because your spouse dies, doesn’t mean that you cut yourself off and say goodbye,” stated Christie.

During this time, Christie also attended a program, I’ve Got the Tools, I’m Ready to Cook, which helped him immensely with shopping for food, preparing it and ensuring that he and Mrs. Christie had nutritional meals.

“I simplified it,” he said. “When I

look back I don’t know how I did it, but I did. I sometimes don’t realize how I did it. It became a routine.”

Christie also has health issues and he came to realize that he may not be able to take care of Mrs. Christie much longer, so he checked the long-term care facilities knowing that it takes awhile before the potential resident would receive a call for admittance.

Some advice from Christie is to look after oneself, get involved with support groups and share what the person has learned with others.

“You have to look after yourself in order to take care of someone else,” said Christie. “What people don’t realize is that the person with Alzheimer is controlling them, where they should be controlling the person with Alzheimer, or doing things in such a way that it is going to work for them. Don’t try to do it all yourself; ask for help. If you don’t go out, the caregiver could be the one to get sick.”

Help out there for older adults facing depression issues

By DOREEN BARNES

News – Even though World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept. 10) has passed, the reality is that suicide in older adults does exist.

A World Health Organization study revealed that more than 800,000 people each year worldwide take their own lives. This equates to around one person every 40 seconds.

“Older adults are among the highest rates worldwide,” said mental health care provider Dianne Dillon-Samson.

“The risk tends to increase with age,

especially for men. Suicide is not about dying with dignity, it is a sign of deep emotional despair. Anyone talking about a wish to die or expressing an interest in hastening death may be at risk and this may be a sign of depression or suicidal ideation.”

Dillon-Samson continued to cite some facts about suicide.

“All signs of suicide risk must be taken seriously and acted upon quickly,” she said. “Suicidal older adults typically use highly lethal methods when engaging in suicidal behaviour.

Safety Tips

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.

“There is help available. With treatment, a person’s well-being can be enhanced and reduce the risk of suicide.”

Growing older can cause distinct stresses for people as they deal with illness, loss of loved ones, adjusting to a change in lifestyle and can result in painful emotional, mental or physical problems.

“The pain can stimulate feelings of shame, hopelessness, sadness and despair which lead to thoughts of suicide,” said Dillon-Samson. “Ageism and stigma may limit older persons seeking help. Getting help and support can be preventative.”

Some risk factors include: thoughts of suicide, a plan for suicide or a desire for death, personal history of suicidal thoughts or actions, having lost someone to suicide, mental disorders, psychological factors and emotional pain.

Others causes may be medical illnesses and chronic illnesses that limit a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks, difficult life situations, social factors, demographic risk factors and lack of resiliency.

Celia Carter, also with the Mental Health Community Team, explained some of the warning signs leading up to suicide.

“Ideation (suicide thoughts), substance abuse, purposelessness (feeling a lack of life’s purpose), anxiety or agitation, feeling trapped, hopeless and helpless, has withdrawn from surroundings,

They’ll be Jammin in the Thousand Islands next weekend Events - Coming soon to the Town of Gananoque will be the sixth annual “Jammin in the Thousand Islands” festival, set to take place Oct. 17-19 in various locations.

The festival is a spectacular mix of country, pop, folk, swing, and jazz music in a multitude of locations in downtown Gananoque.

With a great mix of traditional as well as non-traditional locations, there is surely something for everyone at this muchanticipated festival each year.

It is the perfect opportunity to sneak away and rejuvenate. An ideal way to enjoy fall and all its colours with some fabulous entertainment amongst this welcoming community. Take a scenic drive along the 1000 Islands Parkway, enjoy a leisurely boat cruise in the islands and take pleasure in a walk on one of the many trails.

Start off the weekend by dropping by Rapunzel’s on Friday afternoon to catch Aaron Ray from 1-4. Then pop on over to All About Books where you can sit on the big comfy couch and relax while listening to a stellar performance by Norbert LePage.

“Thanks to Cliff Edwards, I’ve been involved in the festival every year,” explains LePage. “I love playing at the bookstore. I think it will be my third time for the festival.”

“This year’s lineup offers a bunch of new names. Great to see and look forward to listening to as many as possible,”

LePage continues.

When your tummy starts to rumble, head on over to Maple Leaf Restaurant for a bite to eat while enjoying a performance by Smith & Brady. For your afterdinner cocktail you might want to dash into the Old English Pub where you will find Mike Clark & Adam Geris between 8 and 11. Another option would be Teagan & Damien at the Stonewater Irish Pub. Then you can finish off your evening at Moroni’s West Side where Wayne Huff will be playing from 10 until 1.

Saturday proves to be just as bountiful for those with a lust for brilliant entertainment. One could spend the entire afternoon between All About Books enjoying John Wilberforce; Magnolia, enjoying Billisemo; Howards to catch Debbie Fredericks; Home Hardware for Cliff Edwards; Canadian Tire for Erica Bradley & Jay Mittler; Overstocks for Mike Bishop or Executive Secretarial Services to catch up with Dave Rankine & Friends.

Then enjoy a quiet walk along the river through Joel Stone Park, and head to Anthony’s Family Restaurant for your dinner and enjoy charismatic crooner Michael Myers between 5 and 8 p.m. When you are ready to move on, stroll on over to The Maple Leaf Restaurant for your coffee and dessert while enjoying Doug Gifford, who will be entertaining there until 9:30. Erica Bradley and Jay Mittler will be drawing the crowd at the Old English Pub from 8 to 11 as well as Wisky River performing at the Stonewater Irish

In its second year, the Read to Every Kid Every Day project won the Minister’s Award for Innovation 2010 from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism at the Ontario Library Association’s 2011 Super Conference in Toronto. The award recognizes successful new collaborative approaches to encouraging preschool literacy that are of continued value to public libraries.

“The success of this campaign is due to a community collaboration of

effort and support,” commented Every Kids Co-ordinator Margaret Fancy.

“The premise behind Read to Every Kid is simple. Reading to children from the earliest age contributes to greater success in school and in life.”

Margaret Williams, chair of the Read to Every Kid Every Day Planning Committee, added: “The challenge is to get the word out to involve more families and the broader community in spreading the joy and satisfaction of reading.”

There are nearly 20 community partners involved in the local project.

Audience ‘falls for the oboe’ at Fort Town season-opener Concert review by Lois Davidson

also provides school programmes and for many years the Fort Town Concert Association has sponsored these in Prescott-area schools, in addition to their concert series.

The concert on Sept. 26 was unusual in that the oboe is heard more frequently as part of a group either in chamber music or in symphony orchestra. Add to this two young performers, both in their mid-20s, who are extraordinary musicians both as an ensemble and as solo artists.

The oboe is one of the most difficult instruments to play, being of the double reed family all of which require a special breathing technique, and embouchure - the ability to hold the reed itself tightly in the mouth.

During the concert, Boilard demonstrated and played three different oboes; the oboe most frequently used, the larger baroque oboe d’amore (similar in range to the clarinet), and the English horn a larger, deeper and more resonant instrument. The music played during the evening illustrated all three of these instruments. In every work the versatility of the oboe and the musicality of the performer moved and amazed the audience. Boilard himself arranged the original violin part of the opening Mozart Sonata K. 376 for oboe, both instruments sharing the same range.

Written by the composer shortly after the death of his mother, it expressed the joy of her memory rather than sorrow at her loss. In it the oboe and

the piano were woven together to create a duo of equal proportions, equally demanding of both performers. The joy of both performers in playing this music was evident to their listeners, and began the evening with a perfect example of sensitive and precise ensemble playing.

A Suite by the French composer François Poulenc followed. It was written for oboe and piano and dedicated to his friend Sergei Prokofiev who had died several years earlier. In this piece the lovely melodic line of the first movement and the calm grief of the last movement contrasted with the lively dance-like rhythm of the middle section. It was music reminiscent of the Russian style, dreamy and impressionistic with sudden outbursts of sound and energy. It was performed with style and expression which conveyed the feeling of the composer beautifully.

“Romance” by Montreal composer Mathieu Lussier completed the first section of the program. Written specifically for the oboe d’amore, it demonstrated that this instrument, once abandoned in favour of the clarinet, is alive and well.

The richness and variety of its sound made one appreciate this lovely instrument. The “Romance” gave us music filled with lilting melodies and interesting cross-rhythms. We should hear more of this Canadian composer’s work.

Following intermission we heard the English horn, a beautiful, deep sonorous instrument, in a suite by another contemporary American composer, John Steinmetz. Originally for bassoon and piano, the suite was transcribed for oboe and piano by the composer. It consisted of short movements, alternating in mood and tempo, beginning with tragedy and sorrow and ending with happiness and serenity.

This was followed by a solo piano performance

by Olivier Hébert-Bouchard of the third section of Ravel’s suite Gaspard de la Nuit. “Scarbo” depicts the antics of a wicked goblin, darting in and out, terrifying and startling the watcher. It is one of the most unbelievably difficult pieces in the piano repertoire, both technically and interpretively, which one writer described as “somewhere between a technical study and a psychotic episode”. In it, Ravel pushed piano technique to its limits. Ideally it requires the action and resources of a large piano to realize its potential.

Nonetheless, it was a superb performance by Olivier Hébert-Bouchard.

The final duo selection was a rousing and delightful “Concerto” by Antonio Pasculli based on themes from the opera “La Favorita” by Donizetti.

Pasculli developed a breathing technique used in this piece which required Boilard to produce sound not only by blowing out, but also by drawing in the wind to play long, sustained phrases.

The fast tempos and use of this technique were absolutely thrilling – and so unexpected from the instrument. With its rollicking tunes and waltz rhythms, the “diva” oboe and orchestral piano, it brought everyone to their feet. This concert had the audience “falling for the oboe” and for the two charming young musicians who gave such an outstanding performance.

The Fort Town Concert Association is supported by the Ontario Arts Council. This concert was sponsored by the Mayfield Retirement Residence, Prescott. The next concert, “White Night in Russia”, will be on Nov. 7 at 7.30 p.m., in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Tickets and information about the rest of the series are available at www.ftca.ca

Event - Prescott Fort Town concert-goers had a rare treat on Sept. 26, when Vincent Boilard, oboe and Olivier Hébert-Bouchard, piano presented the first concert of the 2014-2015 series.

“Falling For the Oboe” featured music for oboe and piano.

Both Boilard and Hébert-Bouchard are from the Province of Quebec where they received their initial training. Boilard studied at the Geneva University of Music, has been featured as soloist with leading chamber groups and orchestras, and is presently teaching in Quebec. Olivier Hébert-Bouchard studied at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, and is the winner of a number of major international competitions in Canada and the USA. A soloist and chamber musician, he is also teaching music in Quebec. In this program, he excelled in all his roles as a solo performer, ensemble player and accompanist.

His piano ensemble playing and accompaniments throughout the evening were exceptional.

Both musicians are touring under the auspices of Jeunesses Musicales Canada, which supports rising artists by providing opportunities for them to perform in public, and in so doing to bring music to places that would not otherwise hear live performers of such excellence. This was an exceptional evening, and a great tribute to the work of Jeunesses Musicales. This organization

Bernstein is a watercolor artist inspired by wildlife and the many creatures that live in and around the woods surrounding her home.

Freedman’s craft is woodturning.

Freedman will take a simple wooden log and turn it into something beautiful right before your eyes.

McKhann works his magic in paper Mache. Both a painter and a sculptor, he builds fish, insects, frogs, dragon masks and even decorated bowls out of paper Mache.

Parkins also works with fabric creating upcycled fabric art. Purdy is a woodcarver. He considers himself more of a shaker folk artist than a naïve folk artist, leaving a little bit of himself in each piece that he creates. Thomas creates jewelry. She is a rockhound, a silversmith and an energy worker all mixed into one.

Over at Island View Restaurant you will find another seven artists. Jamie Brick works in mixed media, creating sculptures. Douglas MacDonald does casting; Sandy McRae and Catherine Richmond, jewellery; Ted Stewart, new to the show this year, is another woodcarver. Stewart sculpts birds and also does acrylic paintings, often of birds.

Susi Walters presents creative pho-

tography, making her pictures appear more like paintings and Lisa Zucker is a potter creating sculptures for both your home and garden.

Karen Schaack and Tasha Thorpe will be over in Cornwall’s Pub while Jayne Ayre, Donna Brown, Chris Hale, Linda Hart, Robert Henderson, Thecla Kluck, Doug Mainse, Sharon Matthews and Tracy Bamford will all have their creations at Caigers Resort.

With such an amazing variety of arts right at your fingertips, the festival will be one you won’t want to miss.

Having just gotten started, it will

then be time to move on down to LaRue House on Old River Road where you will find another four. Bonita E Bell, Sally Chupick, Susan Hale-Ladouceur and Marga Vanderwal have even more creations waiting to captivate you.

With such a vast array of art right at your fingertips, one could easily find the most unique and creative pieces, for gifts or perhaps just for you.

Two new faces to tiArts this year are Ted Stewart and Chris Hale.

“My main art is wildfowl sculpture featuring the birds of Ontario. My carvings have won over 135 awards at shows

across Canada & in the US,” Stewart explains. “Also do acrylic on canvas paintings, of wildlife or their habitats.”

Stewart originally began carving while recuperating from a motorcycle accident but then put it aside to teach school in Northern Ontario for 15 years.

An archaeologist by day, he admits that sometimes his career influences his work.

Also new this year is Chris Hale. Hale is described as an artist with an edge. He has an amazing sense of humour and incredible talent that you won’t want to miss.

DEALS YOU LOVE

FOR LESS

Sports - The Island City Blackhawks kicked off their 25th season and their 42-game schedule with an honest 7-4 win in front of a modest crowd at the ‘Barn on Broadway’ last Saturday night.

The Gananoque Gryphons could have very easily left town with a win if it wasn’t for the outstanding performance by the Blackhawks’ ‘captain of the cable cabana’ Spencer Utman. “Spencer was on his game early in the game and in the dying minutes to enable us to escape with the win,” Blackhawk management said at his post-game news conference.

The Blackhawks were missing a lot of their veteran experience to start this season but that can dramatically change as the season moves on.

Jeff ‘Youngblood’ June had knee surgery late in August and is expected to return around Christmas time. Team captain J R ‘Buckleys’ Ryan is not as fortunate; he is done for the season after having shoulder surgery a couple of weeks ago. Wayne ‘The Champ’ Morrow after going through a tough summer may return to the line up this weekend.

Team Doctors first projected Morrow’s return could be around the same time as June. And the ever-popular ‘Ageless Wonder’ Peter Culp is limited in his playing time due to other commitments.

Nevertheless, the Island City crew dug down deep to pull out their first victory of the season.

“There’s no doubt we were definitely missing some key players out of our line up. J R, Juner and Wayne accounted for 70 goals between them last season, in 35 games that’s an average of two goals per game less out of commission right now.

That production and leadership is not easy to replace,” management continued in an optimistic tone as he knows two of these three guys will be returning soon.

The visiting Gryphons jumped all over the Blackhawks in the opening minutes forcing Utman to make three or four big saves until his team got going. The Hawks and Gryphons were knotted at 1-1 after the first before the Blackhawks blew the game wide open in the second period. The Blackhawks rippled the corded igloo four times behind Gryphons’ stalwart goalie Tim Tenant to take a slim 5-3 lead into the third. The Hawks were up 5-1 at one point in that second period before Gan staged a late rally.

“We go up 5-1 and thought, they’re done. Then they score two quick ones and it is game on,” explained management to the media scribes that hung around after the game.

The Hawks added two more goals in the third including the insurance marker with a couple of ticks left on the clock to secure the ‘W’. Blackhawks call-up Aaron Hollister led the scoring attack with three goals. ‘The Velvet Fog’ Rob Carter, Luke ‘I’m not Clark’ McArthur, Will ‘The Dangler’ Thompson and Jeremy Turnbull also lit the lamp for the Hawks in this one.

The Blackhawks take their act on the road this weekend. Saturday afternoon, they hook up with the Cardinal Old Timers before chartering out after the game to head even farther east for another matinee game with the Morrisburg Chubbs.

An opportunity to make a safe difference News – In Ontario last year, one third of all students in grades 10-12 admitted to texting and driving. Traffic deaths in 2013 were caused by speeding, drinking drivers and an unbelievable 78 distracted drivers – all of which could have been prevented.

Safe Communities Brockville, Leeds and Grenville believes that the opportunity to make a difference is now!

So the question is; if not us, then who?

“This year’s theme is Practice Safe Text,”

said Safe Communities Brockville, Leeds and Grenville co-chair Gerry Shaver (co-chair with Kevin Spencer). While driving distracted, a person is 20 times more likely to have a collision. We have to stop distracted driving.”

Brockville, Leeds and Grenville is the first Safe Community in Ontario and second in Canada, so it has a historical place as a Safe Community in North America.

“Since expanding the coalition to all of Leeds and Grenville in 2010,” said Shaver, “there has been a re-education of what it means

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC .

N W O D OU CHAIN Y

to be a Safe Community.

According to Shaver, there’s no cure for fatality; the only solution is through prevention, education and awareness. “Safe Communities is committed to making Canada the safest place in the world, to live, learn, work and play, one community at a time,” added Shaver. “We can all relate to the impact this has on our communities, our families and our health care costs.”

Therefore, the local coalition would like to formally request that Oct. 1 be recognized as Safe Community Day in Leeds and Grenville.

Chevrolet Trax down CUV competition Lifestyle - The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Chevrolet Trax I enjoyed for this review came from the great folks at Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls.

Compact SUV’s and crossovers are one of the fastest growing and competitive segments in the automotive industry. As more and more consumers are getting behind the wheels of these do-it-all transports, their expectations are becoming more refined.

Drivers are no longer willing to settle for SUV’s that have rough unforgiving suspension or have a heavy thirst for fuel or are difficult to maneuver in tight settings. They also want styling that toes the line between bland and aggressive and of course, above all, they want all the safety and electronic features found in most high-line vehicles.

Chevrolet hits all these marks with the Trax.

The Trax starts the price range at $18,695 and goes up to $30,545 for a fully loaded LTZ trimmed model. My Trax 2LT AWD from Mike Fair was $28,890 (all prices before destination and prep fees, taxes, and current incentives). This tag brings all you would expect in this price class plus remote start, power sunroof, heated mirrors, leather trimmed seats and leather wrapped steering wheel, 7 inch colour touch screen, and of course GM’s OnStar communication system complete with a 4G LTE wi-fi connectivity and Siri eyesfree voice-command capability.

One of the real surprises in the Trax package is what’s under the hood. GM’s 1.4 L Ecotec 4-cylinder engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic.

While the 138 hp output won’t light up anyone’s shopping spec list, the transmission’s gearing takes full advantage of this responsive power-plant to deliver performance that some V-6’s can’t and fuel economy that some hybrids don’t.

Unlike many of their competitors, GM has removed the tinny sound and feeling usually associated with smaller power-trains and replaced it with a smooth quiet power-band that’s right at home cruising the highways and tackling the back-

As Kristine Fair puts it, “This vehicle is certainly is gaining ‘trax’tion in sales this year as more consumers become aware of this compact SUV. The price point of the all wheel drive model, its fuel efficiency, the flexible seating/cargo

area and its overall size has made it attractive across the generations - youth and seniors alike, primarily women.”

Agreed.

roads to the cottage.

A low step in means no struggling to take your seat and the interior is as well laid out and designed as the exterior and undercarriage. My tester was ordered from GM by Mike Fair’s GM, Kristine Fair and her choice of exterior colour and interior trim package adds a fresh look that many consumers will find attractive.

On the road this is one of the quietest CUV’s I’ve driven and it handles like a well-executed sedan platform. The all-wheel drive system is totally automatic with no driver input required.

It simply activates when one or more wheels lose traction giving a sure-footed confidence regardless of road or weather conditions. GM designers stayed away from excessively trendy window and lift-gate forms to provide great driver vision from all angles.

Rear storage/cargo capability is above average with almost 19 cubic feet behind the second row seating and over 48 cubic feet when those seats are folded down flat. Door pockets abound as do dash and console storage cubbies with the USB and auxiliary input ports located in a lidded dashtop compartment to keep valuable electronics out of sight. The properly positioned 7” colour touchscreen minimizes distraction and the audio system was the first I’ve found that lets you preselect the ignition-on volume to avoid you being blasted by the last heavy-metal driver in the Trax or not being able to hear the latest traffic report because the default volume was too low.

The fuel economy ratings on the Trax AWD with an automatic transmission are 7.6 L/100 km highway and 9.7 L/100 km city. Its 53 L fuel tank should deliver a 550 km range of mixed driving and cost around $60 to fill with regular unleaded at $1.25/L. The front-wheel drive version with a manual transmission is about seven per cent better.

Yours in service, Brian Turner
