Prescott Youth Centre celebrates 25th anniversary and Halloween

By CONAN de VRIES

The Prescott Youth Centre has had a few months to settle into its new home and now everyone is invited to come out and have a look. Visitors should be warned, though, that the place is haunted. At least one hallway is, and for only one day.

The public is invited to attend the centre’s open house and wander through its ‘haunted hallway’ on Thursday, Oct. 29.

The event will also be celebrating the Prescott Youth Centre’s 25th anniversary of providing local kids between the ages of 8-18 a safe and fun place to go after school. The centre started out in 1990 and ever since has given area parents peace of mind in knowing that their kids are well looked-after and having a good time in the after-school hours. The centre operates on a drop-in basis; kids can come and go as they please, and can do so free of charge.

Anyone interested in seeing what the centre is all about is encouraged to come and check out the open house, and seeing as the date is so near to Halloween, the open house will also feature a ‘haunted hallway,’ which will give visitors a chance See HAUNTED HALLWAY page 2

Many local kids are having a great time at the Prescott Youth Centre, which in June moved to a new location, where it continues to offer youngsters a fun and healthy environment in which to spend some of their free time after school hours. This year the centre also celebrates its 25th anniversary. It will also soon be Halloween, and the centre is planning to celebrate all three with an open house and ‘haunted hallway.’

to run a gauntlet of elaborate horrors along the length of one corridor in the centre’s new home.

In June, the Prescott Youth Centre moved out of its previous location, behind the South Grenville Food Bank on Henry Street West, and moved into a room at the former Central Public School at 490 Jessup St. The rest of the school is occupied by TR Leger, but the area given over to the Prescott Youth Centre, which is accessible via the school’s Hyde Street entrance, gives the centre much more space and the freedom to do more with the kids. TR Leger even allows the centre use of the school’s gym, and the outdoor playground space is most welcome, too.

“This place is awesome,” says Assistant Supervisor Krista Dillabough.

The number of kids who come out each evening varies considerably, from a couple to a dozen, although special events, such as the monthly Boys Night In and Girls Night In, always bring out a good-sized group. And since the move, the centre’s roster of kids has grown.

“We just keep getting more and more kids, which is awesome,” says Dillabough.

There’s always a lot to do each evening. The centre has an air hockey table, foosball, pool table, a bank of computers, a kitchen where the kids often enjoy making snacks and even cooking the odd meal, boards games, a big television with lots of movies and video games, and there’s always an opportunity to get some exercise in the gym and outdoors when the weather is good.

It took the centre a while to find a new home after its lease expired at the Henry Street location, but the food bank board was good to give the group time to find the right fit.

“They did give us the opportunity to stay until we found something,” says Dillabough. “They were very nice about that.”

And it was worth waiting for. And it’s worth coming out to see the great new setup the Prescott Youth Centre has and learn about the opportunities the centre has been providing local kids for the past 25 years.

“People should come out just to have a little Halloween fun and to support the youth centre,” says Assistant Supervisor Kira Merritt.

The Open House and Haunted Hallway run from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, and there is no admission fee.

Enjoy the Ride.

HAUNTED HALLWAY

Conservatives retain local seat as Liberals win a majority It was a fairly close race and a bittersweet outcome for the two candidates who topped the polls in Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes on Monday, Oct. 19.

Gord Brown will be returning to the House of Commons for a fifth term.

With all 238 polls reporting early last Tuesday morning, the Conservative candidate had 26,734 votes (about 47.4 per cent of the local vote); Liberal candidate Mary Jean McFall was second with 22,888 votes (40.6 per cent). Margaret Andrade of the NDP had 4,722 votes (8.4 per cent), and Green party candidate Lorraine Rekmans had 2,090 votes (3.7 per cent).

Brown, 55, appeared at his campaign office in the former LCBO location at the Brockville Shopping Centre just before 11 p.m. on Monday. McFall, accompanied by Michael O’Shaughnessy, made a brief stop at Brown’s office about half an hour later to congratulate the MP-elect.

“I appreciate the confidence the people of the riding put in me,” Brown told the crowd. In acknowledging it was a tough campaign and a hard-fought battle, he thanked his team of supporters for their efforts. This was the toughest election they knew they would have, according to the Conservative candidate.

“We all know we have change in our country,” Brown said of the overall win by the Liberals and the fact that the Conservatives will not form the next government. “Unfortunately, voters across Canada have spoken.”

Brown said he is concerned that Canadians have lost the “steady leadership” of Prime Minister Stephen Harper (who was re-elected in his riding but resigned as party leader), adding that he is “afraid of the damage” the new Liberal government under Justin Trudeau will do to the country. “I will hold this government accountable,” proclaimed Brown, who warned of massive deficits and higher taxes that might be in the nation’s future.

Brown ran as the Alliance party candidate in Leeds-Grenville in the 2000 federal election and lost to incumbent Liberal MP Joe Jordan by 55 votes.

Brown became the Conservative candidate when that party formed after the Progressive Conservative-Alliance merger. He defeated Jordan in 2004 and

was re-elected in 2006 (with 54.7 per cent of the vote), 2008 (58.4 per cent) and 2011 (60.8 per cent).

Brown won the last election by a margin of almost 21,000 votes over NDP candidate Matthew Gabriel, but the outcome was much different this time. Early results had Brown and McFall about even. “It’s going to be a long night,” one of Brown’s campaign workers said. As more polls reported, a slim margin held by Brown began to widen slightly. Eventually, the lead became more comfortable and consistent.

Voter turnout in the Leeds and Grenville-area riding was about 71.25 per cent. Nationally, turnout was between 68.5 and 69 per cent.

Disappointed but hopeful Yes, Mary Jean McFall’s supporters were disappointed as the excitement of being in the lead was short-lived and Photo by TIM RUHNKE disappointment settled in on Monday Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP-elect Gord Brown is congratulated by Liberal cannight. didate Mary Jean McFall at his Brockville campaign office late last Monday night.

Notably, McFall made great strides in communities like North Grenville where the returns were not as one-sided as one may have thought.

McFall threw out a challenge to Brown, as the Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville. (The riding is now known as Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.)

“I want to challenge Gord Brown on his victory and to bring real change to Leeds and Grenville,” said McFall. “We need hope for the future of our children and a secure retirement for our seniors.

You have this opportunity Gord, and we At Bud’s on the Bay you can savour want you to make the most of it.” our perfectly aged, perfectly McFall, the gracious lady that she prepared, and simply delicious is, thanked the individuals that were her election team, especially Michael New York Striploin, a taste O’Shaughnessy, her campaign manager, sensation and remarkably only her family and the many people that be$14.95!

Sound system available to non-profits The Volunteer Centre of St. Lawrence-Rideau recently purchased a sound system with a grant of $2,500 from the Brockville and Area Community Foundation (BACF). As BACF Vice-Chair Virginia Glover (left) mentions, this grant allows the volunteer centre to lend the sound system to other organizations in the community. Centre Manager Harold Hess (right) indicates the balance of the funds would go towards the purchase of retractable upright banner stands. The volunteer centre also has tablecloths, wine glasses

and other items for loan. As well, Glover reminds the public that BACF was set up to meet three objectives: to stimulate ideas in the community, to support non profit organizations through the community fund and to provide education to those wishing to leave a legacy to their community and can do so using the network of the community foundation to steward their funds to distribute in a way that meets their own philanthropic desires.

avoid damaging the wires and insulation.

Use flashlights, not candles: When decorating, avoid using candles. Instead, use flashlights or battery-operated candles to light pumpkins, displays and walkways. Never use open flames near combustible materials.

Look for the mark: When purchasing light strings, animatronics, strobe and black lights, fog machines or extension cords, look for a certification mark from an accredited certification organization, such as CSA Group. A recognized certification mark provides assurance that products are tested and certified to the applicable standards for safety and performance.

It won’t be long until zombies, goblins, and ghouls roam the streets in search of their fix of Halloween candy and treats. Make sure you’re prepared to keep festivities fun and not frightfully real on Saturday.

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Group, a leading public safety and product testing and certification organization, would like to remind everyone of the following decorating safety tips to help ensure a happy Halloween is had by all.

Go big and heavy-duty: Use heavyduty extension cords for high wattage decorations like fog machines and large light displays to avoid overheating and potential fires.

Only use it outdoors if it says ‘outdoors’: Ensure lights and electrical decorations are marked for ‘outdoor use.’

Cut the power: Before working with outdoor wiring, turn off the electricity to the supply outlet and unplug the connection.

Dispose of damaged goods: Carefully inspect each electrical decoration.

Cracked or frayed sockets, loose or bare wires, and loose connections may be a shock or fire hazard. Dispose of damaged light sets and replace damaged power cords.

Take care with connectors: When hanging lights outdoors, keep electrical connectors above ground, out of water and away from metal eavestroughs.

Connect outdoor lighting into receptacles protected by weatherproof ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), which can provide protection from electric shock by sensing ground leakage and cutting electrical power.

Choose fasteners not nails: Use insulated fasteners rather than metal nails or tacks to hold light strings in place to

ELECTION From page 3

the hope for the future and a huge vote of confidence for our new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.”

Before leaving her many supporters at the Keystorm Pub in downtown Brockville to congratulate Brown for his successful election run, McFall shared that she has been so inspired by the stories she heard and she has a renewed commitment to find a way to serve and support the people of this riding.

One supporter, Duncan Fraser, was elated to know that the Liberals are back

at the helm.

“The Liberals will be in power, and that is magnificent,” said Fraser. He also felt that McFall had led a well-run campaign and should not have any regrets whatsoever.

NDP expectations Margaret Andrade was confident just before the local election results started rolling in on Monday night. She indicated at her campaign office north of Tincap that she would be “shocked” if either Brown or McFall came out on top. “We’re not hearing a lot about the Liberals” locally, stated Andrade, who added that she believed the

NDP campaign became stronger in the last two weeks. “I have never seen so much quiet strength” across all demographics, she offered.

There were lots of requests for signs in the final days of the campaign. The desire in the riding for change was “palpable,” according to the NDP candidate.

When asked to identify one thing she had learned during the campaign, Andrade said there is “a huge, silent majority” in the Leeds-Grenville area that is lower middle-class or that is struggling. It has been great to see how motivated many of these people are, she added.

Although Liberal Mary Jean McFall was not successful in her bid for the seat of Leeds- Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, campaign manager Michael O’Shaughnessy felt she was a great candidate.

Scottish Women’s Curling Tour to stop in Gananoque

By JAN MURRAY

The Gananoque Curling Club is excited to announce that the 2015 Scottish Women’s Curling Tour to Central Canada will be making a stop right here in Gananoque on Nov. 15.

The tour actually began back in 1955 and operates on a five-year rotational basis. Canadian curlers visit Scotland and then five years down the road, the Scottish curlers visit Canada.

This year, 24 Scottish women curlers begin their three-week tour of Quebec, Ontario and Northern Ontario, competing in games with local clubs at 23 curling facilities all along the way. Their journey begins in Quebec City with a quick history Photo by TIM RUHNKE lesson before it takes them to Montreal, Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes NDP candidate Margaret Andrade watches federal Montebello, Ottawa, Russell, Gananoque,

election night coverage at her campaign office north of Tincap. Andrade finished a distant third, receiving 4,722.

Kingston, Ajax and Toronto for competition. After completing that leg of their journey, they will fly to Sudbury and take a coach bus to compete in games in Sault Ste. Marie before flying back to Toronto, competing in the Niagara region and then finishing up in Mississauga where they will also be treated to a closing banquet at the Mississauga Golf and Country Club on Nov. 26.

“They only play one game per stop,” explained Jayne Curtis of the Gananoque club. “They play here on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m.” The team is scheduled to arrive at 9:10 am and opening ceremonies will be held at 9:45. “Then they play an eight-end game followed by lunch at 12:30,” Curtis said. They will compete against the ladies of the Gananoque club.

Serving a mission

For the greater good

A few of the kitchen volunteers pause while preparing the spaghetti supper served at Centennial Road Church between Lyn and Brockville on Friday as part of the 11th annual fundraiser for World Hope Canada’s Reach Out Ghana Committee. The event included a silent auction.

Proceeds go to the humanitarian ministry in West Africa that includes medical care, education and agro-forestry.

Brockville Kinsmen Snowsuit Drive begins Nov. 2

This year’s snowsuit drive in the Brockville area is about to begin.

The 27th annual campaign led by the Kinsmen Club of Brockville will start Monday, Nov. 2. Children’s snowsuits and monetary donations will be collected as part of the drive that ends on Dec. 5.

Donors are asked to place snowsuits into bags. Drop-off locations include 1000 Islands Mall, Brockville Chiropractic, BGH, Brockville Home Hardware Building Centre, Brett’s valumart, Canadian Tire, Family and Children’s Services, Great Idea Graphics & Printing, Keystorm Pub, Metro, Parkedale Tim Horton’s, Real Canadian Superstore, Severson Cleaners, Sports

Experts, Walmart and YMCA. The donations will be cleaned by Severson Cleaners.

The Kinsmen and Family and Children’s Services will distribute snowsuits at the mall on Nov. 21, 28 and Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

More than 1,400 snowsuits were collected during the 2014 campaign.

Cheques can be made payable to Brockville Kinsmen Snowsuit Drive. They can be mailed to the club at Box 24, Brockville ON K6V 5T7.

For more information about the campaign, call Steve Benoit at 613-345-6981 or visit www.brockvillekinsmen.com.

We believe that elected officials at the local level are sincere about doing what they believe is in the best interests of the communities they serve. But that sometimes there are conflicts with the interests of a smaller group within that community that is more directly affected by a decision made by a municipal council.

The growing controversy over the proposed law enforcement/ military training facility at the airport in Tincap appears to be an example of this. The people who live nearby and/or own property there have legitimate concerns about the impact that such a facility would have on their quality of life and community. Folks in the neighbourhood are not necessarily thinking first of the general benefits that the Brockville area could receive in the form of infrastructure spending, jobs and assessment, which are among the reasons cited by Elizabethtown-Kitley and Brockville council members who support the proposal. (The airport is located in the township but is owned by the city.)

We do not doubt that the local officials believe they are making a reasonable effort to address residents’ concerns, and the public information session being cohosted by the two municipalities next Tuesday night is part of that. The reality, though, is that council members are more likely to see the project for the greater good than to side with the people who are directly affected by the presence of the new facility and who might not be willing to accept assurances from proponents that everything is being done to mitigate or alleviate any short- or long-term negative effects caused by the multi-million-dollar project.

The training facility could very well be in the best overall interests of the Brockville area, but that will be of little or no comfort to the people who – unlike the rest of us – could be directly affected by the project if it becomes a reality. That should never be overlooked by the decision-makers as the assessment process continues.

Mother knew long winter months ahead would mean being shut in It was happening again. In my mind’s eye I could see back to the year before. It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard.

I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be? What had brought it on?

Maybe she was worried that we would have enough food to last us over the coming winter. But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Moth-

er was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt there was a change in her, and I could feel it in the very depth of my bones.

My older and much wiser sister Audrey, if she sensed it too, wouldn’t talk about it. All she said was ‘it will pass’, as if that would satisfy me, which it didn’t.

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

diaries down out of the back-to-the-wall cupboard, open one, and never raise a pencil to write in it.... just staring at a blank page. She would tap the end of the pencil on the oilcloth covering the table, and it would make a steady ‘plop, plop’, and I would watch her closely, but not a word was put in her diary.

She still made our meals. They were as hearty as ever. There were still rows of pies on the bake table, and the smell of fresh bread met us as we came home from the Northcote School. None of that changed.

It was Mother herself who had changed, and I got an ache in the pit of my stomach and when we said our silent prayers in bed, I prayed that whatever was bothering my mother would go away.

And then one day, it was a Sunday,

and we had come home from church, changed into our better-than-school clothes, when Mother sent Audrey up to the trunk in the hall and asked her to bring down the big white linen tablecloth. The white linen tablecloth? It was only used at Easter and Christmas, and was one of Mother’s most cherished possessions, which she had brought from New York when she moved to Renfrew County.

She took a blue glass pitcher out of the parlour, which sat next to the bible and put it in the centre of the table. It too had come from New York. She told Audrey to set the table and to use the dishes that had come in bags of puffed wheat from Briscoe’s General Store. The table looked like we were expecting the Queen for dinner!

Mother changed into a velvet

dress. It too had come from New York, and was only worn for very special occasions. Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing. He had been through this before. We sat down at the table with its shiny linen tablecloth, as many matched dishes as Audrey would find, and our usual ample dinner. Supper would be the same as it always was on a Sunday night: a repeat of the noon meal.

After we had redded up the kitchen, the white table cloth put with the pile of laundry awaiting the Monday wash, the lamps lit, shooting shards of light into the corners of the darkening room, Mother went to the back door and opened it wide. The cold night air blew

Upper Canada Family Health Team celebrates opening of Gananoque location

By JAN MURRAY

A small crowd was gathered at the Upper Canada Family Health Team Office at 25 Mill St. in Gananoque on Wednesday, Oct. 21 to celebrate the official opening of the facility.

“Thanks to Sherri Hudson, executive director, Bev Markell, program administrator and Andrew Everett, the lead physician,” began Dr. Debbie Briggs.

“Locally, I’d like to thank Dr. Brian Hart and the team around him, as well as the local community support,” Briggs continued. “Also, I would like to extend a special thank you to the UCFHT team, who were very patient and forced to develop resourcefulness in finding areas to work while the construction was being completed. This team includes Lisa Lunn, geriatric social worker; Sharon Hinbest, mental health social worker; Theresa Couteau, dietician; Melissa Spence, RN; Lindsay Hyde, occupation-

in. She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard. Then she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing.

Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write.

I couldn’t say she had completely lost that melancholy look, but I was relieved to see that her mood had changed. It was almost as if she was saying “so be it”, a phrase she used often.

When we went to bed I begged Audrey to tell me what had happened. She

al therapist; Emily Maskell, admin support/IT; and Deanna Powers, who is the background administrative support.

The group of physicians from Seeleys Bay, Lansdowne and Gananoque has attempted over many years to try and establish this type of provision of health care.

“Fortunately, about two years ago, the UCFHT reached out to us and invited us to join the team,” explained Briggs.

“They have been extremely welcoming, helpful, convivial, and a pleasure to work with through this transition. Our goal now is to provide comprehensive and accessible health care to our community as much as possible in our communities.

With this team and this new facility, we are closer to this goal. To get further information about the UCFHT you can go to their website or FB page, just google them or if you prefer the good old fashioned face to face conversation that is put her face close to my ear so that no one but me could hear and she told me that just before Fall changed to Winter, our mother knew that for months ahead of her, she would be shut inside our old log house. There would be no escape, and that was the time she longed most for her beloved New York. Audrey said, Mother would be almost sick with loneliness for the life she used to have so far away.

When Audrey told me I fell asleep with tears wetting my pillow.

still a possibility.”

The family health team concept is essentially where you have a group of physicians who work with allied health care professionals.

“We’ve been trying for quite some time to build a family health team, but it is difficult to do due to limited resources,” explained Dr. Hart. “When the Upper Canada Health Team approached us, that was an opportunity that we pursued.”

In essence, the doctors are doing what they’ve always done but now have the addition of extra resources such as the dietician, social worker and the nurse.

“Therefore, collectively the team can provide not only the normal care that

we do but we can focus on preventative care,” Hart said. “We can run things like memory clinics, smoking sensation clinics, we can do prevention clinics in terms of cardiovascular disease, and healthy living and we can do more home visits.

We can even do home assessments. Really what it does is allow us access to a much larger funding for allied health professionals so that we can bring better care to the community.”

Clinics are already up and running.

Information regarding when the clinics are running can be found on the website.

“We have been running for about a year and a half, but this space has only been open for about six months, so everybody was kind of crowded into our ex-

isting space,” explained Hart. “We were double-using rooms, climbing over each other; it was a growing experience, a learning experience. Now that this space is open, everything is working well.”

Gananoque Mayor Erika Demchuk added, “Having the clinic here, supporting them and keeping the doctors here in Gananoque is very, very important. Certainly, any kind of help with expansion to help with preventative medicine is always good for the town and for the people that live here. If we can keep people out of the hospital and nursing homes, that’s very important. So expanding any of the space here to make sure that we utilize as much of it for health care is very important to the Town of Gananoque.”

Habitat supporters make a difference for two families in Lansdowne Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands proudly held its official key ceremony at the Lansdowne Community Centre on Sunday to mark the near completion of the most recent build in Lansdowne.

Many gathered for the official ceremony including local dignitaries, countless volunteers and, of course, the two receiving families. “We knew that to complete this project by the fall of this year we would need a steady supply of volunteers who would come to the build each day,” began emcee Pam Little, chair of the Board for Habitat for Hu-

Baptista continued. “I encourage you all to give our former mayor Frank Kinsella a firm handshake; it was his foresight and the work that he did with the previous council to ensure that this project would happen.”

Roger Gipson, chair of the build committee, added, “I want to take this time to thank Mayor Baptista and the council for their co-operation with the build. His staff were excellent; they treated us very well and were on site when we asked them to be there.”

He also took the time to thank all the volunteers and all the trades. “Being a build chairman, the word team comes to mind. It is a team. It has to be a team for a project to work. Take the word team and break it down; T – trust in one another, e- energy – what you need to get the project done, a – acceptance, learn to accept change and deal with the willingness to accept change, m – memories

– everyone of us will walk away from this with a memory, and that’s what we all have to remember.”

Members of the build committee include Gipson, Bob Oliver, site supervisor; Kimberley Rice, financial oversight; David Stead, community and faith relations; Christina Downing, fundraising and donations; Martin Van Andel, publicity; Pat Shewchuk, volunteer co-ordinator and food lady; Pam Little, secretary and board representative; Cheryl Pickins, family selection; and Ken Hunter, consultant and manager at Habitat in Brockville.

Numerous presentations were made to the families including gifts of mini-tablets to each of the children by District 48 of the Retired Teachers of Ontario, David Huether, and quilts to each member of the families by the Thousand Island Quilters Guild.

Skyward Active Health Centre receives inaugural Ben TeKamp Memorial Award

BY DOREEN BARNES

Like father, like son! It was as if the late Ben TeKamp was expressing his congratulatory sentiments to the first annual recipient Shannon Morrison, Skyward Active Health Centre, of an award honouring his memory.

Son Mark spoke from the heart, just like his dad with the odd joke and the poignant pause at the special ceremony held at the Aquatarium on Tuesday, Oct. 20.

“It’s been over a year since my father passed and I was trying to think of what he would want me to say,” said Mark.

“He would probably say that perhaps these people would like to watch the Jays game. It’s true he was a Jays fan.”

Mark thanked everyone and stated how fantastic the applications were, as well as the people that wrote the references.

“I think my father would say that it is great to be associated with the award, but it is about the community,” indicated Mark. “He would say it is about the business leaders and innovators that made these applications. He would say it is about their great ideas, hard work and their community contributions.”

Mark announced the runners-up, speaking a little about each one.

“The first runner up is Valerie Toth from The Score,” said Mark. “The Score is a high-quality used clothing reseller with part of the proceeds going to the MS Society. In their application it was noted that 9,000 pounds (of clothing) didn’t go to the landfill. They have stores in Brockville, Smiths Falls and Kemptville.”

As Mark presented the Ben TeKamp Memorial Award to Toth, his mother Cathy read and gave the scroll from Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, as she did with all recipients.

“The next runner up is The Workshop Dance Studio of Kemptville, Nancy Morgan,” stated Mark. “A dance studio for adults and seniors and she encourages active living. She works with the Community Business Association, finds funding opportunities and works with the Heart Institute in Ottawa on the Heart and Stroke Program. My father was very passionate about the program.

This is funny, but the day you (Morgan) started working with my father, he spent three hours sharing stories of the program.”

Then, the recipient of the first annual Ben TeKamp Memorial Award was revealed as Skyward Active Health Centre in Mallorytown. Shannon Morrison owns the business.

“I tried to think of something to say, but the application spoke for itself,” offered Mark.

Mark paraphrased saying, “I wanted to run a successful business again. I wanted a business that would affect not only those in need of injury rehabilitation but also assisting and creating a foundation for healthy living with nutrition and exercise. Skyward Active Health Centre opened in May 2015 and this award allows me to create programs for local schools dealing with exercise and nutrition, creating a healthy base for the future.”

Along with the award were monetary gifts: $1,000 for each runner-up and $3,000 for the finalist.

“It’s a real honour to be the first one to win this award,” said Morrison. “As Mark said, I’ve followed Ben’s career and have worked with him a bit. What Ben did for this community is pretty phenomenal, so if I can do a piece of that, then I would be very happy. I really want to be part of a smaller community; the heart of that community and provide

Oct. 19-25 was designated Spiritual and Religious Care Awareness Month

by Brockville General Hospital (BGH).

The move was made in co-operation with the Ontario Multifaith Council and the Canadian Association of Spiritual Care, according to a BGH release. This year’s theme – Mental Health: Cultural and Religious Dynamics – re-enforces the hospital’s commitment to support and value the services offered by spiritual and religious providers. The designated week provides an opportunity to honour the people who provide the care and recognize its value. Facilities recognize the contributions made by staff, families and faith family volunteers

from the community who serve patients and residents.

Thousands of spiritual and religious care providers of all faiths work in specialized institutional settings such as hospitals, long-term care centres, correctional facilities and mental health centres. Caregivers offer counsel and support to individuals who are scared, lonely, confused angry or disillusioned, the BGH release notes.

For more information about services at BGH, contact Brenda Haggett, the spiritual care co-ordinator/chaplain, at 613-345-5649, ext. 1020 or at hagbr@ bgh-on.ca.

Seeking volunteers for Brockville library programs “Our mission is to build capacity with volunteer programs, celebrate volunteerism and connect volunteers with opportunities, agencies and organizations,” said Volunteer Centre of St. Lawrence-Rideau Manager Harold Hess. “When the Brockville Public Library approached us with their volunteer openings, we were happy to oblige.”

As a non-profit organization, the vol-

unteer centre receives no government funding and relies solely on community events for financial support.

The Brockville Public Library is currently seeking volunteers to help support the Friends of the Brockville Public Library team and the adult literacy program. As a centre and hub for the community, more than 60 volunteers actively give of their time to keep the library run-

ning smoothly on a day-to-day basis.

“Their volunteers work on a diverse range of tasks which includes shelving over 30,000 books and DVDs throughout the year, provide programming, assist with events for over 40 programs each month,” commented Hess. “As well, volunteers fundraise with the Friends of the Brockville Public Library group or are active on the board of trust-

said Hess, “You don’t have to be a certified teacher to tutor. More importantly, the need is to be patient, understanding and have a desire to help. Collaborations between the volunteer centre and the libraries are an important factor in the community services that we have in the St. Lawrence-Rideau area. These relationships foster social and networking connections that are the building blocks for community building.”

The goals of the Friends of the Brockville Public Library group are to promote awareness and support for literacy and the library, research and seek out sources of cultural and educational programs for the library and to occasionally sponsor such programs, plus assist the library through fundraising for enhanced services and resources.

“This group is looking for assistance from the public with various talents and experience, including fundraising, marketing, social media, event planning and assisting the Friends with their 2016 activities,” mentioned Hess.

For the adult literacy program, volunteer tutors would provide support and assistance with planning, one-on-one learning, set-up and clean-up.

Newans and Whiteland help Blackhawks snap losing streak

Neither Island City Blackhawks’ callup goalie Duane “Hello” Newans nor winger Daryl “Stumpy” Whiteland scored in last Sunday’s 7-2 win over the talented Morrisburg Flamingos, but they certainly played instrumental parts in it.

It was the Blackhawks’ second game in 14 hours, so it would have been easily excusable if they just mailed it in. After losing both ends of a home-and-home with the Westport Wreliks, the Blackhawks had the most unlikely task of trying to stop that two-game losing streak as they stumbled into Morrisburg last Sunday morning. They were also missing six regulars from their line-up, including their starting goaltender Spencer Utman. This made their task almost impossible as the talented Flamingos opened their season, while the Blackhawks were playing their eighth game in three weeks.

So that set the stage for Newans, who was outstanding in the Blackhawks goal, and Whiteland, who was basically playing on one leg after injuring it the night before. Whiteland played his typical strong two-way game and one of the team’s leading scorers this season also found the time to get into an altercation where he stood up for one of his younger

teammates.

Newans didn’t have to stand on his head or anything, but he needed to make clutch saves at the right times of the game to help his team leave Morrisburg with the win.

“Our whole team played great today.

over the last few seasons and I’ll tell you I am certainly glad he is on our team.”

The road-weary Blackhawks held 3-2 and 4-2 leads after the first and second periods.

“The KFC Kid” Josh Brayton and Nathan “Slick” Slack each scored two goals to lead the Blackhawks’ scoring. Josh McFarlane, Jordie “Biebs” Whiteland and “The Smilin Asassin” Tyler Markell also contributed.

Wreliks 7, Blackhawks 3 Last Saturday night, the Westport Wreliks came to the Barn on Broadway for the second half of the home-and-home with the who’s who of junior B hockey from a few years back. In the end, their talent was just too much for the Blackhawks to handle as they scored an impressive 7-3 win.

The Blackhawks did have their share

of the play but couldn’t cash in while the high-flying Wreliks didn’t need quite as many to find the back of the net. J R “Buckleys” Ryan, Joel “The Rat” Blancher and “The Velvet Fog” Rob Carter scored for the Blackhawks in this tilt.

Wreliks 6, Blackhawks 2 In Westport last Tuesday night, the Blackhawks came out of the gates just a flying and dominated play for the first 15 minutes but it was the Wreliks who headed into the second period up 3-0. The Hawks couldn’t put one by either one of the Wreliks’ buckeyes of the braided barns.

After playing eight games in three weeks and sporting a 5-2-1 record, the Blackhawks are off until Saturday, Nov. 7. They host the hard-working Kemptville Classics at 9 p.m. at the Barn on Broadway.

Two of our key guys in this game didn’t even get on the score sheet, but their play was monumental in us leaving town with the win. Duane (Newans) was spectacular in goal for us; he frustrated their big shooters throughout the game. His biggest saves came at the key times and that helped us gain some momentum. We were a tired hockey team here today,” Blackhawk management said to reporters outside the team’s locker room.

“Daryl (Whiteland) played today’s game on one leg. And once again he was strong in both ends of the rink. He even found the time to come to the aid of one of his younger teammates. When Joel (Blancher) was being confronted by a much bigger Flamingo player, Daryl was right there for him. He has been displaying these leadership qualities for us

Municipal share of casino revenue for three months: $969,000

The second-quarter payments to the two host municipalities of OLG Casino Thousand Islands total almost $1 million.

The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands as well as the Town of Gananoque will each receive $484,513 from the provincial agency, it was announced last Wednesday. The non-tax gaming revenue covers July to September.

Since the casino opened in 2002, the town and township have split more than $45 million for being the host municipalities; payments are based on an escalating scale of gaming revenue. “OLG provides host municipalities with significant revenues every year which help communi-

Putting energy into renewal

North Augusta landowner Steve Valois bought a 1930s Goold Shapley and Muir windmill to put on his property. Valois talked his friend Peter Vonkaenel, a windmill restorer, into helping with the installation. This doubled-geared, selfoiling windmill, which was one of many lost in the trees over the years as farms were abandoned, will stand again and be appreciated. To raise the windmill it took friends, a brace and the pulling power of a front-end loader. Valois hopes to install a pool pond and build a fence around both next year. Â

Talking about the bridge

The story behind the 1000 Islands Bridge will be the subject of the next edition of Mallorytown Talks. Local historian Brian Phillips will be the presenter at the second offering in the fall series organized by the 1000 Islands River Heritage Society. The gathering will take place at the Mallorytown Community Centre on County Road 5 on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. The system of five spans was one of the largest construction projects in North America in the late 1930s. The structures that were made possible by Canada and the United States working together were completed 10 weeks ahead of schedule and under budget. Refreshments will be served after Phillips’ presentation. The suggested donation is $5.

Hundreds of paintings at Brockville Artists’ Studio 36th annual Exhibition and Sale

BY DOREEN BARNES

Twenty-six artists will be showcasing their artwork at the Brockville Memorial Civic Centre from Friday to Sunday, Nov. 6-8.

An open house from 5 to 9 p.m. will take place on the Friday, with refreshments and music provided by the Hoolies.

For Saturday and Sunday, the exhibition will be open from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m., with an opportunity to meet and talk with some of the artists.

Families are welcome to the exhibition with free admission, plenty of parking at no charge and fully accessible.

Four new artists that joined the Brockville Artists’ Studio in the last year are excited and looking forward to sharing their various art pieces at the show.

Linda Stevenson of Iroquois likes to sketch in pencil as well as work with acrylics and oil.

“I have 10 paintings that I’ll bring,” said Stevenson. “A few will be animals, others scenery or landscapes that have been sketched or painted. I do a lot of charcoal.”

Growing up, Stevenson had always been very artistic but didn’t give much thought to art until she was on medical leave and spent time at home.

She picked up a pen, started sketching then painting and has for about five years.

During this time Stevenson’s father, who saw the potential in his daughter, had passed away, leaving her money to take art classes, which she did at Algonquin College.

Stevenson admits to having more than one painting on the go at any one time. “I go from one to another,” explained Stevenson. “I keep things going

New artists showcasing their work in the Brockville Artists’ Studio 36th annual Exhibition and Sale are, from left, Rachel Legault with her painting, Gone Fishing; Crystal Letts, whose specialized silk art will be on display at the exhibition; Belia Brandow with Reflections, a still acrylic painting; and Linda Stevenson with a winter scene, yet to be named. These and 22 other artists will be at the Brockville Memorial Centre from Nov. 6-8. all the time.”

Another artist, well-known Belia Brandow, thought it would be beneficial to belong to another artists’ group to learn from other artists, so she joined the studio.

“I’ll have some fresh new vibrant

landscape paintings, some in acrylic and Crystal Letts has been painting most others in oil,” indicated Brandow. “One of her life, so when she retired from is of my back yard, last spring, as the ice nursing at 55 years of age, she immersed was melting on the creek. I’m also do- herself in art, receiving an art diploma ing one inspired by the fall colours, and I’ll also have still life paintings because that’s my favourite and my passion.”

and now teaches.

“I specialize as a multi-media artist in silk art,” said Letts. “I use silk from China, stretch the silk on stretcher boards, sketch on the material with invisible pen, use gutta to fence everything in (paints or dyes), select paint to put in different (fenced off) areas, let it dry and stretch it again over foam boards. I put mine under glass to protect them.”

Letts has done landscapes, stills and anything that has inspired her, using her own creativity.

The public will see silk paintings, especially autumn leaves that Letts enjoys doing along with others.

For Rachel Legault, she has been to many of the Brockville Artists’ Studio shows and liked what she saw, so she became a member.

“This group is in town close by, and I like the organization,” said Legault.

“It’s gives me an opportunity to show my works.”

Besides the art show, Legault likes the idea of art hanging in many Brockville stores.

All of Legault’s art is in oil and will be exhibiting landscapes and becomes excited with sunsets, local scenery and the river.

Legault painted in high school, but after retiring, she started painting seriously.

“I’m just having fun,” said Legault.

“I enjoy it and I hope the public will have good feelings about my paintings as well.”

Bigger isn’t always better. Buy the proper-sized equipment to meet your family’s needs. An oversized A/C unit will waste energy.

My Take

Mark haskins

Stine to find a way to imprison all the monsters before they destroy the town.

Goosebumps pulls out all the horror movie tricks. The tight camera angles, misdirection, twists, things jumping out at you – you name it they use, and they use it well. It’s a very scary film, but the film also has another side.

Goosebumps is insanely funny. With just the right mix of fright and funny you’re jumping out of your seat as much as you’re laughing.

I was never a Goosebumps fan, but I have to say within the first five minutes I was hooked. I love how they establish the relationship between Zach and his mom. It is very honest and real, and I liked both characters instantly. The same is true for all the characters. Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, and Amy Ryan all give that kind of quality performance.

You can’t help but like them, and it’s a huge reason why this is such a good film.

While I may not be a Goosebumps fan I’m a huge Jack Black fan. He does not disappoint. He is funny, he is scary, he is over-the-top, he is heroic, he is brilliant. This fictional version of R.L. Stine may be one of Black’s best characters.

It’s not something I thought I’d ever say, but Goosebumps is back.

MOVIE: Goosebumps STARRING: Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, and Amy Ryan DIRECTOR: Rob Letterman RATING: PG There was a time when Goosebumps was huge. It was everywhere on bookshelves and on TV. I would have said those days were done. I may be wrong.

Like most horror movies Goosebumps starts off innocently enough. Zach (Dylan Minnette), and his mom Gale (Amy Ryan) have moved to a small town looking for a fresh start. Zach soon meets Hannah (Odeya Rush) the mysterious girl next door, and her overprotective father Mr. Shivers (Jack Black). It isn’t long before Hannah and Zach are sneaking out together.

Everything is fine until one night Zach hears screaming from Hannah’s home. With his new best friend Champ (Ryan Lee), Zach decides to investigate. It’s there they discover the manuscripts. Each one is a locked R.L. Stine Goosebumps novel. Foolishly Zach unlocks one of the manuscripts, and comes face to face with the Abdominal Snowman.

Hannah, Zach and Champ barely manage to get Abominable back in the book, and then it’s only because Hannah’s dad shows up. It turns out that Hannah’s father is R.L. Stine, and all of the monsters he created are real.

The only thing keeping them at bay are the locked pages of the manuscripts.

In a horror movie just when you think it’s safe is when evil strikes.

Slappy, the demonic ventriloquist dummy, gets free, and releases all the other monsters. Slappy wants revenge for being locked away all this time.

It’s up to Zack, Hannah, Champ and

Making progress in dealing with hoarding

Hoarding had been a problem for Patricia Connolly (shown here) until she met Cindy Birt of the Leeds and Grenville Mental Health Hoarding Program, who was instrumental in helping Connolly and others realize what this disorder was doing. Her first step was to empty an overstuffed locker which she did on Friday, May 29. Since then, she had continued to let go of stuff that she had been continually collecting. Connolly decluttered her apartment and on an evening in October she entertained several friends, which she has not done for years. Congratulations Patricia!

CMHC’s fourth quarter 2015 Housing Market Outlook, Canada Edition, expects housing markets to moderate in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

“In 2015, increased housing market activity in provinces like Ontario and British Columbia – provinces that have benefitted from declining energy prices, a lower Canadian dollar and continued low mortgage rates – offset slowdowns in oil-producing provinces like Alberta,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC chief economist. “We expect, however, that this counterbalancing effect will decrease over time. As such, housing starts and MLS sales are projected to moderate in 2016 and 2017.”

Another key factor in the moderation of starts is inventory management of multi-unit projects that typically have longer time horizon for construction than single-detached units. CMHC expects new home construction to slow down in the coming years as high levels of completed but unsold units will encourage some builders to channel demand for new housing towards existing inventory.

House price growth is expected to slow down as MLS sales will favour moderately priced homes.

CMHC produces forecast ranges for resale and new home markets to account for risks and vulnerabilities that can affect the outlook for Canada and each province.

For 2015, housing starts are expected to range between 162,000 and 212,000 units in 2015, with a point forecast of 186,900 units. For 2016, housing starts are forecast to range from 153,000 units to 203,000 units, with a point forecast of 178,150 units.

Persistence is among the strengths of Brockville’s new fire chief

By DOREEN BARNES

Ghislain Pigeon started as Brockville Fire Department’s fire chief on Sept. 1.

“I was a volunteer for five years,” said Pigeon, “15 years as a full-time firefighter and 15 years as fire chief.”

Pigeon has been at the Brockville Fire Department less than two months and already he has ideas to make the department operate more effectively and efficiently, specifically in dispatch.

“I have a great interest in fire dispatch, as in Hawkesbury we created the dispatch after I became fire chief in 2001,” shared Pigeon. “It took 17 years to get council to approve the construction of a fire station and to create fire dispatch.”

When Pigeon set up alarm dispatch in Hawkesbury, the department communicated with 23 fire stations.

“We are looking at expanding this fire dispatch to serve more clients and to offer better cost to our partners and other municipalities,” said Pigeon.

This is a large part of my mandate, to find efficiencies, find new revenues, lower costs of fire protection for Brockville and dispatch is one of the divisions I’m looking at.”

Right now, a dispatcher has to perform three WEDNES THURSDAY tasks with manual input when communicating. Pigeon would like to see one action by the dispatcher to convey life-saving information. It’s a matter of software and hardware working with existing NOV. OCT. equipment work.

Pigeon is no stranger to working with part-time WEDNESDAY THURSDAY and full-time firefighters.

“In 1999, I applied to become fire services coordinator with The Nation municipality, which had just amalgamated (with four other municipalities), THURSDAY FRIDAY SATUR NOV. OCT. to co-ordinate the activities of the five fire departments,” said Pigeon. “One legal fire department with five fire stations. We worked on that plan from WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 1999 to 2004. From 2004 to 2013, I was actually OCTOBER OCTOBER OCTOB fire chief. Even before that, as fire services co-ordinator, I was doing the same duties as a fire chief.”

THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUN Restructuring took place appointing two sector NOV. OCT. chiefs; one for the west and one for the east including a station chief in each station and three captains. These were all volunteers positions.

Jammies for Christmas returns to South Grenville for second year

By CONAN de VRIES

As the weather chills and the Christmas season draws near, peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts tend to turn all warm and fuzzy. And what could be warmer or fuzzier than a brand new pair of pyjamas?

Every kid in South Grenville ought to have a cozy pair of pyjamas to snuggle into at Christmas.

So says the organizers of Jammies for Christmas, a Prescott-based charity that collects donations of pyjamas for the needy in the community and which will kick off its second annual campaign on Nov. 1.

In the campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year, the goal was to collect around 800 pairs of brand new pyjamas.

Instead, the community found itself particularly moved by the spirit of the season and donated nearly 1,000 pairs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to raise the bar this year,â&#x20AC;? says Jack Carroll, 12, one of the two young founders of the campaign.

Carroll and his cousin, Kayla Hare, 12, both students in Grade 6, were the driving force behind bringing Jammies for Christmas to Prescott. Inspired by a similar program in Ogdensburg, which is advertised extensively on local radio in November and December, the cousins thought kids in South Grenville would be no less appreciative of a new pair of PJs come Christmas morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it would be wonderful if we did the same thing here,â&#x20AC;? says Kayla.

The kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan soon had the full support of grandparents and long-time Prescott residents Tom and Carole Hare, as well as Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Krista Hare. The family got together and, with the help of some kids from area schools, assembled and deco-

Kayla Hare and Jack Carroll, the two young founders of the Prescott-based Jammies for Christmas campaign, helped collect hundreds of pairs of pajamas for needy families around South Grenville. The cousins are expecting Jammies for Christmas to be just as popular this season.

rated about 60 big cardboard collection boxes that were then placed in stores, businesses and schools throughout the area. They wondered if they had set their sights too high with a goal of 800 pairs, but, as it turned out, they easily exceeded that number.

Founded in the spirit of its motto â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from kids, for

kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jammies for Christmas certainly received tremendous support from area schools, which donated about a third of all the pyjamas collected, but the community at large was exceptionally generous as well.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign, which will end on Dec. 15, will again place boxes in seven local schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Benson, Centennial â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;67, Maynard, Wellington, SGDHS, St. Lawrence Academy and St. Mark â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in stores, businesses, banks and churches in Prescott, Spencerville, Cardinal and Maynard.

Only new pyjamas will be accepted but of any size and for both boys and girls from infants to teenagers. However, though the final tally of donations last year was more than anyone expected, and the proportion of boys and girls pairs was almost bang on 50/50, the campaign did run short of larger sizes for some of the older kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyone is undecided about what size to buy, go to the larger sizes,â&#x20AC;? says Carole, adding that pyjamas in all sizes are needed.

Luckily, many donors to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign opted to give money instead of pyjamas, so the Hares went out and bought some of the needed sizes. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite enough, though, and it looked like some older kids in the community were bound to go without, until the good people at Sears in Brockville stepped in and donated 60 pairs of pyjamas in all the needed sizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were so grateful for the generosity of Sears,â&#x20AC;? says Carole.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support we received from the community was awesome,â&#x20AC;? says Carole.

This year, as Jack said, the bar has been raised, and the campaign hopes to collect 1,000 pairs of pyjamas, which will then be distributed throughout South Grenville. Like last Christmas, any pyjamas remaining when the needs of South Grenville families have been met, will be taken to Brockville, where, last year, pyjamas were given to the BGH maternity ward, the Salvation Army and Interval House.

Perhaps next year, Jammies for Christmas will expand more substantially into Brockville and elsewhere in the region, but in only the campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year, organizers thought it best to master the logistics of what is already a rather large undertaking before considering expansion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give it another year to fine tune the process before we launch into Leeds and Grenville,â&#x20AC;? says Krista.

The pyjamas collected through Jammies for Christmas are distributed mainly through the Kinsmen Club of Prescottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Spirit of Giving operation and via the South Grenville Food Bank. Some of the donated pyjamas last year were also given to needy students at area schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers always know the needs in the school,â&#x20AC;? says Carole, a retired teacher herself.

As many people as are served through these avenues, however, the Hares realized that there were many needy families who probably werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to come to their attention, and so they hope to expand their reach this year, and next, through co-operation with additional agencies and charitable organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to start branching out and identifying more need,â&#x20AC;? says Krista. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to open up the lines of com-

The Worst Place to Carry A Cell Phone Could smart phones be slowly killing us? Some experts feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living in an Alice-in-Wonderland world if we ignore radiation from these electronic devices. So today, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of what can go wrong.

The Environmental Health Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Newsletter reports an unusual case.

A young woman, with no predisposing risk factors for cancer, made a practical decision. She decided to carry her cell phone in her bra. Today with so many cell phones being Dr. Gifford-Jones snatched from people, I give her top marks for ingenuity and increased security.

Unfortunately, she developed breast cancer. But what shocked doctors was that the pattern of the cancer lined up perfectly with the shape of the cell phone. This single case does not prove that radiation caused the malignancy. But if I were a woman I would not push my luck. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sure choose another location to carry my cell phone.

So how serious is this problem? Experts on radiation have warned us for years about â&#x20AC;&#x153;dirty electricityâ&#x20AC;? from cell phones and other electrical appliances. Our homes were originally powered by clean electricity, using a safe frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz). Now, transformers convert 60 Hz to low voltage power for electronic devices. This creates micro surges of electricity that contain up to 2,500 times the energy of a conventional 60 Hz electrical system. In effect, we are subjecting ourselves to dangerous electrical pollution.

Dr. Devra Davis, author of the book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Secret History of the War On Cancerâ&#x20AC;?, says that cell phone radiation is not only dangerous, but can be lethal. She claims that the biological impact of cell phones is not related to power, but to the erratic nature of the signal which has an adverse affect on DNA repair.

In May 2010, the World Health Association (WHO), released a 10 year study into cell phone use and cancer rates. WHO recognized a significant correlation between brain cancer and those who used their cell phone, wireless home phone or WIFI for more than 30 minutes daily.

Since everyone, including children, will continue to use cell phones, what can be done to decrease the risk? We can all practice what in Europe is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precautionary Principleâ&#x20AC;? which means using old-fashioned horse sense.

Children are at particular risk since they have thinner skull bones making it easier for cell phone radiation to penetrate deeper into the mid brain. They also face a lifetime exposure which places them at greater risk for parotid and deeper brain tumours.

Ideally, children should avoid the electromagnetic radiation of cell phones, or use them only for an emergency. Parents should also stop the dangerous habit of allowing children to sleep with cell phones under their pillows, subjecting them to radiation for hours at close quarters.

Everyone should turn off cell phones not in use and use the speaker on the phone to keep it away from their ears. Being held just a short distance away can decrease radiation exposure from 1,000 to 10,000 times. Remember that texting with a phone exposes a person to the same amount of radiation as talking on the phone.

So use cell phones like porcupines make love, very, very carefully, as it will take years to know the full extent of the danger.

This means bras are for breasts, not phones. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also prudent not to place a cell phone in a shirt pocket over the heart. And if men want to decrease their sperm count, place it in pants pockets.

For years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve warned readers about the potential dangers of excessive exposure to X-rays and CT scans. For example, a CT scan of the abdomen produces 500 times more radiation than a single chest X-ray and 1,000 more times than a dental X-ray or bone mineral density test. This is why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve urged the government to issue radiation cards so that each person knows their total radiation exposure.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also convinced we cannot ignore the danger of electromagnetic radiation from smart phones. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the old story of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caveat emptorâ&#x20AC;?, let the buyer beware.

With the City of Brockville looking at a mixed model of firefighters, Pigeon’s experience will be an important element in talks, when the times come.

“The respect I have for volunteers is important,” indicated Pigeon.

“I know both sides well, as I have worked with full-time staff and volunteers and it is one of the things that this city is looking at, adding volunteers.”

Pigeon continued to say that there are many steps in between and he had worked with a large group of volunteers. He feels confident when it comes to hiring, training and the specifics behind working with volunteer

forces, plus identifying the strengths and weakness, his knowledge will certainly come in handy.

Pigeon is also bringing his familiarity with collective agreements that are very similar across the province.

“My experience in negotiating with the association will come in handy and we will work closely with the association to resolve issues,” said Pigeon.

“Since I’ve been here, we have discussed and resolved some issues with the collective agreement and have come to terms with the association on some the outstanding issues.”

The exchange of documents to start negotiations for the collective agreement is nearing. It expired in Dec. 2012 and Pigeon wants to bring it up to date and have itLIMITED exist for a couple LANCOMBE of$years.

in Ottawa,” said Pigeon.

“I wanted a municipality that is close to Ottawa, so that my wife, Marielle can visit or they can come to Brockville. So Brockville was the ideal location for us to relocate.”

As for the St. Lawrence River and area, Pigeon is a boater, a fisherman and golfer, so he’s looking forward to cruising the river, seeking out various fishing spots and taking to the links.

In closing, Pigeon wants the public to know that the employees work very hard, are extremely professional, especially when interacting with the population in general and that he noticed all of this in the first week here.

“It’s quite impressive for me as an outsider to come in here,” said Pigeon.

“I’m very satisfied to see the way that things are getting done.”

He commends staff for their fire prevention efforts, attention to equipment and fire station maintenance at both sites, as well as doing their job well.

“I want the population to know that fire prevention is not just the second week of October; it’s all year,” said Pigeon.

“We encourage citizens to be extremely safe during the upcoming festive season, making sure that the equipment they use is approved by ULC and CSA,” stated Pigeon.

“Don’t hesitate to drop by the stations or call fire prevention with any questions.”

Have fun on Saturday night, but remember to check Halloween treats Halloween can be a fun and exciting time for children. Following a few safety tips provided by Health Canada will help to ensure that it is a safe experience for the whole family.

Consider giving out treats that do not contain ingredients like peanuts, tree nuts, milk and egg. These ingredients can cause severe reactions in individuals

who have allergies or sensitivities.

If your child has food allergies, read labels carefully and avoid candies that do not have an ingredient list, or that have a “may contain” statement that lists ingredients to which he/she is allergic.

If your child has been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector because of a food allergy, make sure they have it

available whenever they are eating.

Give each child a flashlight to carry to make them more visible to motorists and others.

Tell your children to stay in well-lit areas and only visit homes that have their outside lights turned on. Make sure they know not to go inside homes or cars.

Tell your children not to eat any treats until you have checked them first.

Throw out treats that are not commercially wrapped, or are found in torn, damaged or loose packages.

Wash your hands before opening and eating candy treats.

Remove any choking hazards like gum, peanuts, hard candies or small toys

from the loot bags of young children. Do not let children younger than three years of age play with toys with small parts.

Wash fresh fruit thoroughly and cut it open before eating it. Inspect for holes, including small punctures and cuts. If there are any, do not eat the fruit. When in doubt, throw it out!

Falling leaves present a beautiful safety hazard that are imbedded in the venting.

Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe.

Slippery surfaces The Car Care Council notes that wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery as roadways when snow is falling. Drivers should slow down when roads are covered with wet leaves and take turns and off-ramps more care-

Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at the edges of roads, where they easily can obscure curbs or street markings. Leaves may fill potholes, giving the false impression that a road is smooth and causing damage to tires and suspension systems when drivers drive over them.

Autumn leaves may be beautiful to see, but they can complicate driving and fall car care. Motorists should keep their cars clear of leaves and use caution on roadways.

Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of color and fall from the trees is a favorite activity each fall. Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colorful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country.

While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in various ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves.

Staining Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint.

It’s important to manually pick leaves off of the car’s surface right after they fall. Do not sweep them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle.

Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner.

Tackle one stain at a time.

Clogging Leaves that fall can become trapped in air intake vents, eventually impeding flow and causing odors.

Leaves that fall in the groove of the windshield by the windshield wipers should be removed. Use a high-powered shop vacuum to remove any leaves

Protect. Maintain. Save. - These are the words that describe what Krown can do for you and your vehicle! In Brockville, Krown has been helping vehicle owners in the area preserve their investments for almost 30 years! Local owner Dean Perras has been at the helm for the last 16 of those years and he and his certified technicians work hard to deliver the best product, service and warranty in the industry!

Now located at 801 Chelsea Street off Stewart Boulevard, Dean and his team are able to serve you faster and more efficiently at their expanded facility! They are proud to be part of Canada’s #1 rust control company and you can be sure that your vehicle will receive the best rust protection available today!

Over the years Dean has fielded lots of great questions about the Krown process and what it can do for you. Here are just a few of those questions with answers provided of course.

What causes rust on vehicles?

Metal is trying to return to its natural state which is a form of oxide, such

as iron oxide. Moisture is the key to corrosion as it freely gives up its oxygen electrons, transforming steel into iron oxide.

How is Krown different from wax or tar based methods? Krown is an active product that does not dry out but continues repelling moisture and keeping it away from the metal. The ability of Krown to remain active is what makes it a superior product especially in areas like seams and spot-welds.

Will Krowning my vehicle void my manufactures warranty?

The Krown product will not harm a vehicle in any way and therefore will not void the manufacturer’s warranty. We spray Krown on thousands of new vehicles every year to give them the proper protection they need against corrosion.

How does the Krown process work? Krown is sprayed in a “mist” form inside body panels and along the underside of the vehicle.

It then attaches itself to the metal surfaces, creating an active barrier, that moves where moisture does and continually repels it, keeping it

away from the metal. It also helps to keep moisture away from electrical connections, and lubricates moving parts like window winders, linkages and hinges.

Why does the product drip?

I’m not sure I like “dripping”. As mentioned the Krown product is active and has the ability to move.

To properly repel moisture, the Krown product must be thin enough to get into the same areas that moisture does. As it performs its job of pushing out moisture, some of the Krown product does drip for a short time after the original application. However, Krown is environmentally-friendly and will not harm the driveway or road it drips on. In addition, any stains on the driveway will disappear on their own in a week or two.

These economic times are tight, money is scarce, why should I get my vehicle done annually?

Research studies that have been performed on the extension of a vehicle’s lifecycle and the financial impact therein have shown that a savings of $2500 per year is easily attainable for those that keep their

vehicles properly maintained and therefore keep them longer.

Delaying the purchase of a new car and keeping your old one longer can have a tremendous, positive impact on a person’s finances.

I own a company and we have several fleet vehicles, how can Krowning affect our bottom line and save our vehicles? If you own a fleet and you have your vehicles protected with Krown, expect to save $6 in maintenance costs for every dollar spent on Krown.

“Krowning” your fleet is the best money you will spend as it will significantly reduce maintenance costs, reduce fleet downtime, vehicle breakdowns and of course will add years to the life of your vehicles.

My vehicle has already started to show signs of rust, is it too late to get on the Krown program?

Krown has the ability to slow down the corrosion that has already started on a vehicle by removing moisture from the rusty metal and keeping it away.

Tell us about the Krown warranty.

Krown’s new car corrosion warranty

Owner Dean Perras stays into effect as long as a vehicle is brought back and retreated every year. This warranty states that Krown will repair or replace rusted body panels up to the full value of the vehicle. The used warranty applies to vehicles that are up to 3 years old and offers the same terms for a period of 5 years.

An annual visit to our Krown Centre means your vehicle will look better, last longer, maintain a higher resale value and be safer to drive!

Protect your vehicle from snow, ice and damage from the cold Winter can be an unforgiving season.

Freezing temperatures coupled with snow and ice can take its toll on people who live in climates where cold weather is a fact of winter life.

While winter can test people’s patience, it also can be harsh on cars and trucks. Understanding what components of a vehicle can be compromised by dropping temperatures and snowy roads can help drivers take action to safeguard their automotive investments.

While the Canadian Automobile As- Scrapers should only be used on sociation notes that winter can wreak windows and not on the body of havoc on just about every part of a ve- the car.

hicle, there are some parts that seem to bear the brunt of Old Man Winter’s abuse. Properly servicing and caring for a car or truck can help.

Drivers should take their vehicles for a tuneup and inspection before wintry weather arrives. A mechanic will examine the car battery and check antifreeze levels and make sure that the thermostat, defroster, brakes, and even wiper blades are working effectively. Have the tires inspected for adequate tread, which can make navigating roads safer. If the treads are worn, replace the tires.

In addition to visiting their mechan-

ics, drivers can perform some inspections and fixes themselves.

• Check that all of the vehicle’s lights are operational so your car can be easily seen during inclement weather. Exchange your existing windshield washer fluid with one that will not freeze in cold conditions. Check the nozzles on the windshield-washer system routinely and clear out any blockages of ice or debris.

While addressing windshield washer fluid, also replace worn out windshield wiper blades with ones that can withstand snow and icy weather.

• A new coating of wax can serve as a

shield against road salt, snow, sleet, and rain. Try a polymer wax to protect the paint. Whenever possible, rinse off salt and grime so it does not dry on the car and gradually wear away at the paint.

Some drivers mistakenly believe that salt stops being a problem once it dries simply because moisture is the active ingredient for a corrosive reaction. But humidity in the air is enough to keep the salt eating away at the car’s paint, and that can contribute to rust. Be sure to rinse off the undercarriage of the vehicle as well.

• Have your tires’ alignment checked toward the end of winter or early spring.

A season of traveling over pothole-ridden roads or hitting curbs buried under snow drifts can affect the alignment. Get everything back on track. Similarly, inspect tires routinely, as weather changes can affect tire pressure and strength.

• Use a soft snow brush or a foam brush to clear snow off of the car. Avoid hard plastic scrapers you might use on your windshield, as they can scratch painted surfaces.

• Try to park the vehicle in a garage or under a car port, each of which can protect cars and trucks from the often harsh elements of winter.

Vehicles can be affected by the cold weather. Keep them running efficiently to prevent damage this winter.

Antifreeze Check your engine coolant level and ensure the cooling system is properly filled. If it needs a top off, use a prediluted antifreeze or mix in a solution of one part antifreeze with one part water (preferably distilled water to prevent corrosion). If it’s been several years since you’ve serviced the cooling system, flush the system and refill it with the appropriate mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. Inspect the coolant hoses and radiator for wear as well.

Engine Oil More viscous oils are great for protection during the summer, but in the winter, a lighter weight will help improve cold engine startup and provide better lubrication, crucial for engine protection. Look for multi-viscosity oils that start with a lower number such as 5W (e.g., 5W-30 or 5W-50). To be safe, consult your owner’s manual for recommended winter oil weights.

TIPS FOR SURVIVING A CANADIAN WINTER Be Prepared Stay Alert.

Slow Down and increase your following distance.

Keeping Warm If you are stuck or in a ditch stay in the car.

Wrap up in a blanket. Keep a change of clothes and extra gloves in your car. Use the heater sparingly to prevent gases in the cabin.

Check Your Exhaust Snow and ice can block efficient exhaust and carbon monoxide seep into the cabin.

Winter Tires vs. All Season Tires Rubber on all-season tires starts to harden at +7°C, increasing stopping time. Winter tires give the best traction and fuel efficiency on winter roads.

Getting Unstuck Keep a shovel in your vehicle. If it’s too cold or there’s too much snow, call for help.

Certfied Service dealership can run a battery-load test to see if you need a new battery for winter.

Don’t Eat Snow If you are short on water, melt snow first.

Eating snow causes a lower core-temperature and causes you to burn more energy.

Survival Kit Keep the following items in your trunk: Shovel, Sand or Kitty Litter for ice, tow chain, compass, bright cloth, warning light or road flares, extra clothing and footwear, emergency food pack, booster cables, matches, candle in a deep can (to warm hands, heat water or use as an emergency light), fuel-line antifreeze. If travelling in extreme conditions, tell someone where you are going and by which route. Call them when you arrive safely.

Pressure Check Check pressure outside, not in a warm garage to maximize traction and fuel efficiency.

Wiper Blades Winter blades are built to withstand snow and ice, which means fewer streaks, less rust, overall better visibility.

Battery Power may be reduced by 50% in -15°C. Your

46 ST. LAWRENCE NEWS - Thursday, October 29, 2015

Some interesting news in the automotive industry has cropped up in the last few weeks.

Consumers Report released their 2015 Auto Reliability Survey and while it found the usual contenders at the top and suspects at the bottom, there were some surprising results. Their survey is based not only on their own testing (Consumers buys and owns all the vehicles they test) but from feedback from almost 750,000 subscribers on problems encountered during the first three years of ownership.

The top five makes were Lexus, Toyota, Audi, Mazda, and Subaru and the bottom five were Infiniti, Cadillac, Ram, Jeep and Fiat. The Tesla S luxury sports electric sedan lost its Consumers Report recommended status due to what CR deemed to be an excessive amount of owner reported problems. Interestingly enough, a survey of current Tesla S owners found that 97 per cent would buy another one.

Chevrolet seems to be bucking the trend of consumer interest trailing away from electric vehicles that have plagued other automakers due to relatively low gasoline prices in 2015. They recently announced the addition of a second shift to the product plant that produces the extended-range Volt as well as the Cadillac ETR due to increased demand.

Chevrolet and the Roush family of companies have teamed up to fill a verified market need. Roush, better known for armoured vehicle design and creation, has taken stock Chevrolet Spark subcompacts and modified them for Dominos Pizza for delivery vehicles.

They come equipped with a large warming oven and an interior capacity to hold up to 80 pizzas. U.S. Dominos franchise owners can purchase the Spark

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

DXP (Delivery Expert) for $20K-$25K. Just in time for football season.

If any one car company could be labeled as a die-hard fan of the Back to the Future movie franchise, it would have to be Toyota. First, earlier this year, the design and engineering team at Toyota’s luxury make Lexus, came out with a fully functioning hover-board (it needs a steel or iron plated surface to hover on). It looks remarkably identical to the toy that Michael J. Fox’s character in the movies uses to escape a number of perilous situations and took more than a little effort and resources to bring to life.

Now they have created a series of TV spots and short online videos to promote their hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mirai.

Toyota launched production models of the Mirai in Japan at the end of last year and has committed to enter the U.S. and European markets soon. In their ads and videos Toyota enlisted both Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd (co-stars of all three Back to the Future films) to ponder what technologies from their movies actually made it into reality. Check out the various versions on YouTube.

Broken or defective; who decides?

One of the most common sources of service-counter friction between customers and dealership service personnel is the broken/defective warranty debate.

BROCKVILLE LEGION

This mostly involves trim items but even these can get expensive to repair or replace.

Consumers can basically be sorted into two camps on this issue. The first will readily admit it was their fault and ask for a repair estimate and the latter will insist that the car manufacturer should be responsible for anything that breaks or fails within the warranty period. However it’s the dealership’s job to determine whether a part failed from a manufacturing defect or from an excessive or improper use of the component.

This can be a fine line to toe.

Dealerships are required under their franchise agreements to operate in a manner that is responsible to both the car company they represent and their customers. If their warranty expenses rise too high as a result of claiming anything and everything, they can be subjected to a very harsh audit and chargeback of questionable claims. On the other side of the coin, if they never give their customers the benefit of the doubt from time to time, they will lose business.

Best advice; be honest and upfront at the counter and if your dog chewed through a $400 seatbelt, or one of the tribe broke a seat handle with a hockey stick, get out the credit card and be prepared to pay.

Cool things have been taking place at the Prescott Curling Club

By JAN MURRAY

The Prescott Curling Club celebrated its grand re-opening on Saturday with MPP Steve Clark, Ontario Trillium Foundation volunteer Natalie Wood, Prescott Mayor Brett Todd as well as many other members of the community and local dignitaries.

“Fantastic work with the entire curling club,” beamed Todd. “Thanks so much to Trillium for funding, but real thanks to the curling club for all the volunteers and all the effort that’s gone into rejuvenating this great facility.”

Wood cheerfully responded. “The Ontario Trillium Foundation is really happy to be here today to celebrate this grant with the Prescott Curling Club.

It was a really cool idea that had a great impact on our community. That’s what we look for when we are looking to fund grants. Impact on the community; $75,000 for a new ice rink went way beyond the scope of that project with over 700 volunteer hours going into that project. That is just absolutely amazing. We are thrilled to be a part of that, and I actually threw my first stone on that rink last year!” ”I want to recognize all the hard work done by all the volunteers. I want to tip my hat to Trillium,” commented Augusta Mayor Doug Malanka. “Tremendous work, everyone, and a great facility.”

Mayor Pat Sayeau from Edwardsburgh/Cardinal added, “I appreciate the opportunity to recognize volunteers. I know how much work goes into preparing the grant applications. I wish you well as you start on your next year of curling.” Then couldn’t resist but to add, “I thought we should have a little bit of fun here today. I think we should have a little challenge; one rock each. No brooms. Closest to the button wins.”

Club President Ron Whitehorne commented on all the hard work that went on behind the scenes and recognized all the board of directors, who are also volunteers. “The Prescott Curling Club started in 1893 on the St. Lawrence River and when the building was built, it did burn down once and was rebuilt in the ‘40s using natural ice and upgraded, renovated and added to several times. The kitchen is new; lots of new parts.”

The club, like many all over Ontario, has expe-

“I was beginning to avoid social gatherings. That’s when I finally decided to get hearing aids. I am so pleased with the improvement that they have made.”

rienced some tough times. “But we are still standing,” Whitehorne said. “Ontario Trillium Foundation has been good to us. As you can see we have two plaques on the wall; they helped us with the chiller a few years back, new doors and windows and now with this major renovation for our ice. We tried three times to get this latest grant, successful on the third time which is why we quit, of course. Some might say we are just too stubborn to give up. In the Trillium application, you are invited to say how many hours of volunteer labour you would have. I submitted that we would have 400 hours of volunteer labour and quite frankly that’s a number that I just pulled out of the air, but I figured we wouldn’t have any problem doing that and, in fact, we spent 786 hours of volunteer time.”

The club saved $10,000 immediately from the contract price because we removed the old piping and old insulation. They not only saved money but also saved the environment when they recycled 3,191 pounds of plastic, the plastic pipe that came out of the floor with help from Oliver Crate & Vacuum Thermal Forming of Roebuck.

“We also recycled 430 sheets of 4-foot by 8-foot by 2-inch Styrofoam sheeting. It actually came out more or less in one piece and we sold it for a buck a sheet and gave away some to church groups and an organization in Mallorytown that was trying to build a renewable source house.”

In the end, less than one full dumpster went to a landfill.

The entire upstairs of the Henry Street West facility has been painted, new light fixtures, downstairs has also been painted, siding, insulation on the west wall and the south wall of the main part of the building, also all new.

“We’re not done yet; still some sand and gravel for the back parking lot, and next summer we plan to tackle the washrooms and the change rooms,” Whitehorne said.

Clark was thrilled with what looks like a brand new facility, “I want to thank the members of the Prescott Curling Club for their diligence and hard work in this facility renovation,” he stated.

Aeros beat Flyers to win second in two nights It was a winning weekend for the Athens Aeros.

The team defeated division rival Prescott 4-2 in CCHL2 action on Sunday night. The visiting Flyers had leads of 1-0 and 2-1, but the Athens pulled ahead in the third period. Ethan York scored what turned out to be the game-winner midway through the period, and Wyatt Cota added an empty-netter (his second goal of the night) to seal the victory. Brennan Kitchen picked up the win in goal for the Aeros.

Athens had opened the home weekend with an 8-3 win over Clarence on Saturday night. The Aeros had a 4-3 lead early in the third period but added four unanswered goals to seal the victory.

Assistant Captain Bryan Fancy scored a

hat trick and had two assists to lead the home team; Wyatt Cota had a goal and five helpers. Kitchen stopped 30 of the 33 shots he faced in goal for Athens.

The Aeros (6-5-0-0) travel north to play the Ottawa West Golden Knights tonight (Thursday) at 7:15 p.m. Athens will host the Ottawa Canadians on Sunday at 7:30.

Prescott had opened the weekend with a 6-1 win at home against Char-Lan on Saturday night. Assistant Captain Johnny Smith scored twice and added an assist for the Flyers. Jarrett Pitt stopped all but one of the 19 shots he faced in net for Prescott.

The Flyers (4-11-0-2) will host the Tikis this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Brockville lost both of its games last

week. The Tikis were defeated 7-4 on the road by Char-Lan on Tuesday night and were then edged 4-3 by Westport at the Brockville Memorial Centre on Wednesday night. Jayson Brown opened the scoring in the home game 14 seconds into the first period; the Rideaus would even the score and the Tikis would regain the lead twice before Westport’s Patrick Drouin managed the game-winner on the power play with 41 seconds left in regulation.

Brockville (3-9-0-0) will play the Vikings in Casselman tonight at 7:30 p.m. The Tikis’ next home game is on Wednesday, Nov. 4 when the Golden Knights visit the memorial centre for a 7:45 start.

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.

Karen MacNaull talks about society’s changing values following the First World War as part of the 180th anniversary worship service at St. John’s United Church in Brockville on Sunday, Oct. 18. David Dargie introduced the guests, who along with Rev. Dr. Heather Froats talked about the relationship between politics and religion (Mayor David Henderson), the changing role of women in our society (Sandra Lawn) and if we have changed our moral compass as a society. Along with this panel discussion, the congregation also were addressed by Sir John A. Macdonald (Brian Porter) from 1867, a flapper from 1923 (MacNaull), Rev. Harold Hess (played by himself) who brought greetings from 1928 when the United Church was formed by merging the Presbyterian, Congregational and Methodist sects, and our Centennial lady (Lillian McNamee) who talked about how Canada and the United Church were doing in 1967. The panel discussion addressed those issues to highlight the changes made in society. Robin Doncaster and his sons William and Simon discussed why children and youth attend church.
