Local residents gather at overpass locations to honour fallen soldiers truhnke@metroland.com

News – They turned out to pay their respects to a young man they never knew.

Hundreds of people gathered at the Highway 401-Stewart Boulevard interchange in Brockville last Friday afternoon as the procession carrying the body of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo made its way from Ottawa. Cirillo, a 24-yearold reservist, was shot and killed while standing guard at the National War Memorial last Wednesday.

About 50 people were standing on the east sidewalk of the overpass at 1:30 p.m. By the time the procession arrived at about 3:07, at least 10 times as many spectators were on the sidewalk or had lined the hills on the north sides of the 401 to honour the young soldiers. At least 150 people crowded onto the east sidewalk of the overpass to catch a glimpse of the motorcade.

Similar scenes were occurring at overpasses throughout Leeds and Grenville on Friday afternoon; emergency

More than 150 people crowded onto the east sidewalk on the Stewart Boulevard overpass waiting for the procession to pass. Honour guards and the public gathered at several Highway 401 overpasses in the area in a show of support for Cpl. Cirillo. Many of the onlookers applauded and sang when the procession arrived at the Stewart Boulevard location.

responders formed honour guards and were joined by civilians at numerous locations along highways 416 and 401 from the south end of Ottawa to Gananoque.

Many Canadian flags were draped over the east side of the Stewart Boulevard overpass. Art Psiuk held up a large flag on top of a ridge on the north side of the highway for more than an hour and a half as a show of respect “We should be more alert and aware of what’s going on in the world,” said Psiuk, whose 92-year-old father who served in the Second World War was in a more accessible location nearby.

Earlier in the week, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent died from injuries he sustained when he and one of his colleagues were run over in a commercial area near Montreal. Law enforcement officials indicated that the incident was an attack.

Among those who stood on the overpass was former Liberal MP and federal cabinet minister Paul Cosgrove, who was holding a flag that had been flown above Parliament Hill three decades ago. “It was horrible to see what was going on,” he said of last Wednesday’s events in downtown Ottawa. “I can’t believe that a Canadian soldier was shot.”

Cosgrove was asked what advice he might offer the current government about how to respond to the attack. “We have a rich tradition. Let’s carry on.”

Several Brockville firefighters stood on top of ladder and pumper trucks and saluted as the procession passed by their locations. Firefighter Stewart DeJong indicated it was important as a member of the emergency services community for him to honour what Cirillo stood for on behalf of his country. Taylor Gadsby, a first-year firefighting student at St. Lawrence College who was there with many of his classmates, agreed that Canada should stay the course and not back down to terrorist threats and actions.

City firefighters were also on hand at the North Augusta Road overpass, as were hundreds of local residents. A large crowd also gathered at the Edward Street overpass in Prescott.

Gananoque Ministerial trick or treats for local food bank

By JAN MURRAY

News – It’s time to prepare for all those little ghosts and goblins that will soon be banging on your door. With that in mind, the Gananoque Ministerial and its member churches would like to remind everyone that they too will be making the rounds on Halloween, collecting for the food bank.

Knowing that the community will already be expecting multiple visitors on Friday evening, they decided it is the perfect night to set out to fill the shelves at the area food bank. There is a need in the community and they are confident that those in the Town of Gananoque will step up to the plate and not only meet that need, but exceed it.

“All volunteers will be wearing reflective vests or tape of some type and identification badges that identify them as food bank volunteers,” assured Bruce Kelsey, chairperson of this year’s Community Harvest Food Drive. “We do not dress in Halloween clothing, especially not the face.”

The Gananoque Food Bank tries to provide families with nutritional foods to help those who need assistance. Each family who receives food from the food bank receives basically the same items only in differing quantities depending on the size of each family.

On Friday, Oct. 31, approximately 30 volunteers have committed to helping out. They will meet in the parking lot between Linklater Public School and the Kinsmen Club on Stone Street between 5 and 5:15 p.m. At this point, volunteers will be given ID badges, bags and put in teams to begin canvassing. Volunteers are asked

R0012972524_1030

to wear clothing appropriate for the weather and a reflective vest if they have one.

If they do not, there will be some tape available to put on clothing to make each volunteer more visible.

“Vehicles from the Gananoque Fire Service and the Leeds 1000 Island Fire Service plus units from Gananoque Chev Olds and Chiasson Ford assist with the transportation of the goods to the local food bank,” assured Kelsey.

Extra vehicles are always welcome and extra volunteers are strongly encouraged. “We need as many volunteers as possible,” explained Kelsey.

Kelsey also advises volunteers to bring a flashlight if possible.

The groups will begin canvassing at 5:15 and continue until approximately 8 p.m. Donations will be taken directly to the food bank throughout the evening.

“We do not collect after 8 p.m.; usually people are ready to have lights out, so we work fast to complete,” Kelsey added.

There is a definite need for those less fortunate. The Gananoque Food Bank is for anyone in need.

It is not only the unemployed who go to the food bank for assistance. There are many individuals and families out there in the community who work, but still struggle to make ends meet.

This year alone, the client list has risen 11 per cent over last year.

Kelsey encourages anyone who is able, to Emily, Breanne, Grace, Linda, Dawn, Jessica, Bruce, Kevin, Dave and Mila are just a few of the volunteers heading out on Halloween to collect for the Gananoque Food Bank please come out and help.

Departing St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director Ian Farthing receives a standing ovation at the end of the first of two farewell concerts held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Prescott on Saturday. He is leaving after nine seasons and returning to Vancouver. Rona Waddington will be Farthing’s successor. given by an anonymous individual who has been to every production of the festival and is helping to provide

exception.

Walker also noted that Farthing’s popularity in town is legendary. Beckstead described his enthusiasm as contagious.

Farthing was modest in his assessment of the role he has played in shaping St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival.

“As was mentioned numerous times in the concert, it’s the community support that has enabled the festival to be a success,” he told St. Lawrence News on Sunday. “My parting wishes are that it continues to grow and thrive and make even more of an impact in the future.”

Farthing has been nominated with

a Capital Critics Circle Award for best director (professional) for The Two Gentlemen of Verona, the festival’s other 2014 mainstage production. His successor as artistic director, Rona Waddington, will direct The Comedy of Errors in the summer of 2015. Next season’s other production, Romeo and Juliet, will be directed by Janet Irwin.

Tickets for the 13th season of St. Lawrence Shakespeare (July 18-Aug. 22) go on sale Nov. 1. Visit www.stlawrenceshakespeare.ca or call 613-9255788 for more information.

News – It was a fond farewell for one of Prescott’s biggest ambassadors.

Departing St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director Ian Farthing received standing ovations and multiple tributes at two concerts in which he and some of his friends performed at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Saturday.

Farthing’s nine-season run as creative head ends this fall. During his time as artistic director, he has overseen the growth of the summer festival both in terms of critical acclaim and attendance. Now in its 13th season, St. Lawrence Shakespeare boasts two mainstage productions in its five-week season at the waterfront Kinsmen Amphitheatre each year.

The two concerts, which were fundraisers for the festival, provided Farthing and his colleagues an opportunity to present a few of his favourite songs and reflect on his time in Prescott. The evening performance was sold out, and there weren’t many empty pews in St. Andrew’s during the matinee.

Jo-Anne Beckstead, chair of the St. Lawrence Shakespeare board, was among those who appeared on stage during the shows to talk about Farthing and what he has meant to the festival and Prescott. Who would have thought that a young actor who tried out for a part in the 2004 production would end up serving as artistic director for nine seasons, Beckstead commented.

The board chair noted that Farthing was also responsible for landing the exclusive Canadian stop on the Shakespeare’s Globe of London’s worldwide tour of Hamlet. The two performances held on Aug. 2 in the middle of the 2014 festival season brought national attention to St. Lawrence Shakespeare and the town.

“Quite an achievement, sir,” Beckstead said to Farthing.

The board chair announced on Saturday that a gift of $10,000 had been

a legacy for the departing artistic director. Among other things, the Ian Farthing Fund for Artistic Development will assist the festival to develop new works. St. Lawrence Shakespeare commissioned adaptations in the past to mark Prescott’s bicentennial and the festival’s 10th anniversary.

Beckstead told the matinee audience that she was not a Shakespeare fan at first. After being gently nudged, she went to a performance in Prescott. “Ian was in the first play I saw,” she stated.

“I fell in love with it.”

Craig Walker, who directed this past season’s production of The Tempest, recalled seeing Farthing at an audition in 2006 and noting how talented and good looking he is. “I hate this guy,” quipped Walker, who added that he couldn’t have been more wrong about Farthing. As artistic director, he led by improving the design of St. Lawrence Shakespeare productions hugely and by improving the acting level, according to Walker. It was a vulnerable time for St. Lawrence Shakespeare when Farthing became artistic director.

Walker pointed out that as “virtually every theatre company in Ontario was in the red,” the Prescott festival was an

Events – Spirits and Sparkles, the first fundraiser for “A Dog For Drew,” took place at Maplehurst Manor and Carriage House in Maitland on Saturday, Oct. 25. A costume party complete with prizes, a taco bar, photo booth and a hopping dance floor made for a very successful inaugural event in support of an autism guide dog program. Will and Laurel Wright were among those who attended.

Share your stories for Day of Action video DEAR EDITOR:

Where were you on Dec. 6, 1989? Many of us may not remember exactly where we were or what we were doing on that date but we continue to remember what happened on that tragic day at Ècole Polytechnique in Montreal now referred to as the Montreal Massacre. Fourteen women were killed by a lone gunman walking through the halls, carrying a semi- automatic rifle, identifying the reason for his crimes as simply that these women were feminists and they en-

raged him because they dared to pursue an education and training in a career traditionally held by men.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, now recognized as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

To mark this day, the Victim Issues Coordinating Committee is producing a video. Please join us at the Eastern Ontario Network See LETTER page 10

It was heartening to see so many people turn out at or near overpasses on Highway 401 in Leeds and Grenville on Friday afternoon in honour of Corporal Nathan Cirillo. The Canadian Forces reservist who was murdered in downtown Ottawa on Wednesday morning. As his body was being driven home to Hamilton, many of us took time out of our schedules to pay our respects to a young man we never knew but whose death – as well as that of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent near Montreal earlier in the week – touched our lives. Cirillo was trying to get his career off the ground, and Vincent was reportedly contemplating retirement. Both wanted to serve their country and ended up making the ultimate sacrifice; the fact they both lost their lives on home soil not that far from us and were targeted because of their service to Canada is what makes their deaths so jarring to most of us.

As the country debates what to do about security at Parliament Hill and other institutions of note, the public can take steps and do more to honour the memory of fallen soldiers. As grassroots efforts to help meet the future financial needs of their dependents continue, we can press our elected officials to ensure that governments will take care of the spouses and children left behind when military personnel and peace officers are killed because of who they are – not just in the line of duty. And not just the end-of-life expenses; lost future earnings must also be taken into account.

It shouldn’t be up to patriotic and sympathetic citizens to support the families in their times of need; we can help honour fallen soldiers by taking steps to make sure that the state provides adequate short- and long-term compensation to the people whose loved ones die because of the uniform they wore.

Special adventure in old milk house leaves kids not wanting to go back Lifestyle - We had many favourite spots to play when I was a little girl growing up on a farm, but I think one of my favourites was the old milk house at the farm next door to us. I guess one of the reasons I liked the old black board building was because it was no longer used as a milk house, and we children were allowed to use it as a play house. Friends from all over the area seemed to congregate there most Saturdays, and even though the boys tried to take it over and keep the girls out, they were outnumbered, and we used it just as much as they did.

Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha (they weren’t really an aunt and uncle, but in those days children did not call adults by their first names) had a big family, l0 children in all, and they ranged in all ages, and on any given Saturday, most

of them, all of us Hanemans, and various other Valley kids usually ended up in the old milk house.

Tub was one of the pupils from the Northcote School who ambled over every Saturday to check out the action. He wasn’t called Tub because of his slight build, I can tell you.

He was as round as a barrel, and everyone, except Miss Crosby called him Tub, and she called him by his proper

name, which was Horace. Even he preferred Tub to Horace!

That Saturday in the Fall I remember so well, started out just like any other. After our chores, we walked across the field and Tub, Cecil and Patrick Herman were already there. The girls were standing a few yards from the milk house, squealing and yelling something awful. Tub kept running in and out, reporting to the gang of boys who stood looking in the doorway, through as much space as Tub’s big frame would allow.

After a few questions we found out that someone saw a couple of bats swirling around in the milk house, and according to her, they came swooping down ready to plunge into her hair, which we all thought was the main mission of a bat in those days.

Tub reported he saw the bats going

into the attic through a small hole near the ceiling. It was one of the few outbuildings on the farm that had an attic... most were wide open to the roof. But Aunt Bertha had the attic put in and she stored all sorts of things up there she couldn’t get into the house. You got into the attic through a small ladder and a trap door not as big as a grocery box.

Ralph said the only way to get rid of the bats was for someone to go into the attic and knock them senseless with a baseball bat. He didn’t volunteer, and neither did any of the other boys standing outside the milk house. To suggest one of us girls go up was beyond comprehension. And then everyone’s eye turned to Tub. He seemed to be afraid of nothing. I recalled the day he picked up a grass snake by the tail and whirled it over his head. I couldn’t fathom any-

one being so fearless.

My brother Everett suggested Tub go into the attic. About 10 heads nodded in agreement.

Tub bobbed his head up and down too, just like he was in his right mind.

Everett got the old wood ladder and propped it up against the beams. I was too scared to go in the milk house, but we had a perfect view from the window at the side.

There was Tub crawling up the ladder with his eyes cast to the ceiling. I took one look at Tub, and a look at the little door, and it didn’t take a genius to figure out it was going to be a very tight fit. He lifted the door and shoved it along the floor of the attic, and stuck his head into the cavity. One more rung on the ladder,

and his shoulders would be inside.

He filled every square inch of the opening, and his arms were hanging by his sides, as if someone had nailed them to his rib cage.

We heard him yell to one of the boys to give him a push. Everett climbed up the ladder, and placed one of Tub’s feet and then the other on each shoulder. Everett pushed upwards with all his might, but Tub wouldn’t budge an inch. He was starting to yell that he was suffocating. The two of them must have struggled for 20 minutes, and it was soon obvious that Tub wasn’t going to move. Emerson had a flash of insight, and suggested the ladder be moved to the outside of the building, around to the little window and someone could crawl in there, and push Tub downwards, since it was obvious to all he certainly wasn’t going to be going up.

Everett jumped off the ladder after removing tubs feet, and in a flash they had the ladder out the door and around the side of the building. We girls were still glued to the window, and let me tell you it was a funny sight to see Tub hanging out of the ceiling with his gum rubbers and overalls looking like they were nailed to the roof with no body attached.

We heard Emerson lift the window and then heard him pounding across the floor of the attic. We heard muffled conversation, but both boys were yelling, so we couldn’t make out what either was saying. There was a great whoosh, and the next thing we saw was poor old Tub

shoot out of that hole in the attic like a big bag of grain. It was most unfortunate that no one thought of going outside to retrieve the ladder so that he could dismount with some dignity. As it was he hit the floor like a boulder, rattling the windows, and raising the dust from the boards.

I thought he was dead. He lay there a couple of minutes with his eyes glassed over and one gum rubber about l0 feet from his body.

Emerson’s head was poking out of the attic door, and no one said a word.

Poor old Tub started to move. He rubbed his hands up and down his body to see if there were any missing parts, then he rolled over, got up on his knees, and slowly stood to a standup position. He reached out for his other boot, walked towards the door, and without as much as a by-your-leave, headed right out the lane to the Northcote Side Road. Not once did he turn to look back.

None of us had much enthusiasm for the milk house after that. Audrey thought we could play house. Emerson said they might get the B-B guns and shoot pigeons. But everything everyone suggested paled in comparison to the episode we had just gone through.

News - Brockville Fire Prevention Officer Matt Tyo has indicated that as of Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014, Ontario Regulation 194/4 is in effect regarding carbon monoxide alarms.

“However, there will be a phase-in period,” stated Tyo. He indicated buildings that contain no more than six residential units will have until April 15, 2015 to be in compliance. Buildings containing more than six residential units will have until Oct. 15, 2015, to achieve

compliance.

Get into the spirit early with Jammies for Christmas

By CONAN de VRIES

Community - It’s snowy, dark and cold outside, and inside there’s a warm fire, a brightly lit tree and something delicious baking in the oven. It’s Christmas, and there’s just something so cozy about Christmas.

It’s even cosier for kids. They get to pull on a warm and fuzzy pair of pyjamas and then nestle under the covers all snug in their beds waiting for Santa. Most kids, anyway. Not all are so lucky. That’s why there’s Jammies for Christmas.

Aiming to collect at least 800 pairs of new, never-used, pyjamas to distribute to needy kids throughout South Grenville this festive season, Jammies for Christmas is the creation of Prescott’s Tom and Carole Hare— though it wasn’t their idea.

At around this time every year since 2009, anybody who listens to some of the American radio stations along the border will have heard the memorable advertising spots promoting a program in Northern New York’s St. Lawrence County called PJs 4 Xmas and starring the program’s charming founders Abigail and Camille Marshall.

Abby and Camille were only 13 and 10 when they founded the campaign, and in the intervening five years, PJs 4 Xmas has raised more than $26,000 and put more than 7,000 kids into a brand new pair of pyjamas.

It was one of those commercials that first gave Tom Hare the idea of starting up a similar program here, and he wasted no time enlisting the help of his wife, Carole; daughter, Krista; and grandchildren Kayla Hare and Jack Carroll.

“They’re our young co-founders,” says Krista. “They’re really excited about it.”

Kayla Hare and Jack Carroll are the co-founders, with their grandparents, of Jammies for Christmas, a Prescott-based campaign to collect at least 800 pairs of new pyjamas, or money for the purchase of pyjamas, to benefit needy kids throughout South Grenville this festive season. were when they started up PJs 4 Xmas, Jack and Kayla, both 10 and in grade five, are doing all they can to make Jammies for Christmas as successful as its American counterpart, but they know they’ll need help from their peers to meet that goal.

“It’s from kids for kids,” says Kayla.

Several area schools – Maynard,

SHOEBOXES rs For Senio

St. Mark, Wellington, Centennial ‘67, Benson, St. Lawrence Academy and South Grenville District High School – are on board and willing to help promote the program, but it will be up to the students to fill the boxes and the penny jars.

“We want to put the focus on the kids and get the kids involved,” says Carole.

Drop-boxes and coin jars will be located at businesses and in churches throughout the community, ready to accept donations of either brand new pyjamas – of any size for both boys and girls – or money, which will be used to make up for any shortfalls in particular sizes or colours.

The Hares consulted with Bonnie Pidgeon-Gommert, executive director of the South Grenville Food For All Food Bank, who suggested the 800pair goal, and all the pyjamas will be distributed through the food bank and hand delivered by volunteers from the Kinsmen Club of Prescott.

“Everything will be completely anonymous. We won’t know any names,” says Krista.

The Jammies for Christmas campaign will officially begin Nov. 1 and run until Dec. 15, and right now the Hares are busy making preparations.

There are stacks of boxes yet to be assembled and decorated, both in the basement of their Prescott-area home and in a room set aside at SGDHS;

its principal, Sandy McInnes, volunteered space in the school and some student assistance for the program.

“You should see all the boxes,” says Jack.

Plans are also under way to enter a Jammies for Christmas float in the Light Up the Night Parade in Prescott on Nov. 21 and collect pyjamas along the route. Not only that, but on Dec. 6, in the gym at SGDHS, there will be a movie night, for which the cost of admission will be either $2 or a brand new pair of pyjamas.

“You can even wear your pyjamas,” says Kayla, “and we’ll have popcorn and hot cocoa.”

More information about the movie night, the campaign and how to donate or otherwise support this community project can be found on the program’s website at jammiesforchristmas.com or on its Facebook page. Anyone not online is welcome to call Tom or Carole at 613-925-1650.

Giving new life to old ward at BGH up in April of 2015, Travis Wing, manager of area, Sherri Anderson, director of the area and Beth Gibson 1 East charge nurse.

Ruth Lockett thanked everyone for coming out to share in their excitement and a special thanks to Ardis and Lindsay for getting on track right away.

“All of the 1 East committee and the gala committee that is going to have their kick off to fund this project; we are just so thrilled to be a part of it.”

Bhatt gave a brief history of the 1E revitalization project, explaining that the BGH strategic plan journey started last year in October. “The first step that we had was to listen to you, our community, our patients, our staff and our physicians,” he began.

“We were told that we needed some help. A big concern was the clutter,

aging décor, space, so to respond to this we needed to collect members from our community and staff to make some big key decisions.” From there, they formed a working group and the project was finally underway.

“Today marks the beginning of change for 1 East,” Bhatt smiled. “Remember: you spoke, we listened.”

One of the co-leaders of the group, Sherry Anderson, expressed how pleased she was to be present for the unveiling of the model room. “I really want to thank our working group,” she began. “It has been challenging at times but a lot of fun too. You can’t imagine how we can be to get 10 people to agree on a colour but we managed.”

Members of the 1 East Working Committee were all equally excited about the many upcoming changes,

specifically the decluttering of the hallways. Many innovative changes include moving the computers from out in the hallway to being inside the room at the patient’s bedside, enhancing the patient-caregiver experience.

“I think it’s going to make a wonderful enhancement for the staff and obviously for the patients,” commented Anderson.

“I started my career here about 25 years ago and the only thing that’s changed on 1 east is the young nurses.”

Apparently, there have not been any upgrades or changes to 1 East in about 60 years.

“This is only one room; we have the whole ward to do,” Anderson grinned.

Gibson explained that she has worked on the unit on and off for the past 33 years. “I’ve been here long enough to remember them putting the railing up,” she laughed.

“First, I would like to extend my gratitude on behalf of the staff, the patients and myself to the board of governors, the gala committee and the Brockville & District Hospital Foundation for recognizing 1 East needs some help,” Gibson stated. “Someone is listening to our staff, patients and families is one of the many comments made by our team.”

Gibson believes that through the revitalization, “we are impacting lives.”

There are approximately 30-40 nursing staff and many allied help and support staff who travel the halls of 1

East each week providing comfort and care to upwards of 30 patients a day. This makeover will undoubtedly see many positive impacts like pride, comfort and sense of calm.

Gibson believes, “These changes will make a happier place for our patients to convalesce and our staff to work in.”

Weeks expressed how appreciative he was on behalf of the entire organization to see how the community stepped up, how leaders in the organization stepped up, how people looked at the problem before them in different ways.

“You can see a problem and say ‘It’s not solvable’, and perhaps we’ve done that for decades as you’ve heard about 1 East,” Weeks began. “But we’ve decided enough is enough and we’re listening to the community and with the community we’re going to affect the positive change you’re hearing about. There’s lots more to come, but this is a great first step.”

“Our object is to clear the corridors as much as we can,” added Marg Alexander.

“The in-room charting, a computer in every room, takes these great big carts, out of the picture. They no longer need to be there because the computers are now in the room.”

They are looking at wall-mounted coverage for isolation equipment and room supplies; there is new flooring, more homelike with nice soft pleasant colours.

ENERGY TIP!

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

“We tried to do everything as noninstitutional looking as we could,” explained Alexander. “Neutral colours with the blinds to co-ordinate with the walls, new bedside tables, personal storage, pictures, the Brockville photographic society provided and will change them out on an annual basis.”

In total there are 15 rooms that will be renovated as well as a TV family room. In the

model room the doors are new, curtains are new, bathrooms were torn completely apart.

There are new sinks, elevated toilets, grab rails, new and improved lighting, all scheduled for completion by next summer.

In 2015, BGH will celebrate 130 years of providing outstanding patient care in the community and in celebration of such will be holding an impressive Black Tie Gala on April 25.

This 130th Benefit Gala will be held at the Brockville Country Club. Guests will embark

Seaway Valley

upon an elegant ‘Springtime in Paris’ feel for the evening. The evening will also include a live and silent auction. With the cuisine provided by the Brockberry Café & Suites and entertainment by Pauly and the Goodfellas, it will most assuredly make for a most memorable affair. Tickets will be available for purchase at both Scotiabank Brockville locations in the new year.

The event will be a platform to highlight a $400,000 fundraising effort to revitalize the 1 East in-patient unit of BGH.

Poppy sales support veterans

Community - Royal Canadian Legion Branch 96 in Brockville is launching its 2014 poppy campaign tomorrow (Oct. 31). From left are campaign chair Don Bain, veteran Don Fowler, Mayor David Henderson and Branch President Joe Napper. Proceeds from the annual campaign do not go to operations at the Legion; the money is held in trust and used to help support vets and their dependents by covering costs associated with travelling to hospitals and medical appointments as well as contributing to programs such as meals on wheels and palliative care. Three veterans who were homeless or about to become homeless were assisted through poppy proceeds, Bain noted. Poppy boxes will be located throughout the city. Legion branches in other communities in the region have already launched or are about to start their own poppy campaigns.

The Brockville drive ends on Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day), to which Henderson referred as the most solemn day at the end.

Fowler said it serves as a tribute “…for those guys who didn’t come back” and “weren’t as luck as I was.”

Business – Rick and Tanya Orr, owners of The Butcher Shop in the north end of Brockville, are the recipients of the 2014 Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The annual honour is handed out by the Leeds & Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre. The award was presented at the Bridges to Better Business Conference held at CJ’s on Thursday, Oct. 23.

The couple purchased the business in the late 1990s and operated it in its Brockville Shopping Centre location until taking the plunge last year and purchasing the current location at the corner of Stewart Boulevard and Laurier Avenue. In presenting the award, enterprise centre Manager Wendy Onstein indicated that sales have almost doubled since the move and there are now eight full-time staff.

Onstein also noted that the Orrs have developed strategic alliances with other local businesses and are offering their products in the store. Providing quality products and knowing their customers on a first-name basis helps create a friendly environment and positive shopping experience, according to Onstein.

In addition to receiving the entrepreneur award, the Orrs were presented with a certificate of congratulations

by Michael Jiggins on behalf of Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark.

“Today’s been awesome,” Rick told the audience. He thanked his wife and staff as well as the customers without whom there would be no business.

Previous winners of the entrepreneur award include Carol and Chris Palko (of Palko Jewellery Design), Robert Walker and David Peer (Walker and Associates Accounting), Terry Ann Hare (Beauty Inside), Brockville Farmers’ Market, Jacqui Lysko (the former Living in Brockville magazine) and Stephanie Saunders (It’s How You Wear It salon).

More than 40 people attended the day-long conference that included an address by keynote speaker David Beatty, CEO of Canarm. The businessman chronicled the successful local company’s evolution over several decades and its involvement in agricultural ventilation systems as well as ceiling fans and lights. Beatty spoke of the need for businesses to consolidate, make things easy for customers and “cross-pollinate” with other companies and help each other in the region. It doesn’t matter what business you’re in today, according to Beatty; “you’re in the technology business.”

As for the fact that no major international companies have set up shop in Brockville the last 25 years and only three remain in the city, the Canarm CEO warned that the industrial tax base will continue to shrink “until we get our political system right” and change the municipal structure to create the City of Leeds and Grenville.

The annual business conference is presented by the Brockville-based entrepreneur with the support of publicand private-sector partners.

Four new artists to take part in annual BAS Show and Sale

By DOREEN BARNES

Tucker mentioned that she put more focus on getting the effects of light, shadowing and colour on canvas that she wanted.

In addition to Fall Reflections, a painting of her dog, Turner will be presented at the art show and sale. “I would like to paint in watercolour because I like the soft muted aspect and the way colours blend into each other,� said Tucker. “I’m not so much into acrylics as you can get the same boldness with oil,� expressed Tucker. “I like the oil as you can mess around with it and it can be wiped off with turpentine and start again. It’s very forgiving and the colour blends so nicely.�

Together with Fall Reflections and Turner, Tucker will be showcasing other art material, including a collage of leaves with lots of texture.

Gerd Kreissler Kreissler joined the Brockville Artists Studio group because he wanted an outlet for his painting and to become accountable to the group to paint on a regular basis. “I enjoy painting and want to make it a priority,� said Kreissler.

When Kreissler was younger he used oils for his art, but after taking courses at St. Lawrence College with the late Henry Vyfvinkel, he was introduced to watercolour.

“I took basic, intermediate and advanced courses with him,� said Kreissler. “I painted with him in the islands, en plein air painting, which was really enjoyable.�

Since then, Kreissler has spent time on colour theory, other college workshops and although not certain as to what direction he is going as watercolour has become his preferred medium. “At the show, I’ll have a mix of both watercolour and acrylics,� mentioned Kreissler. “Right now I have three or four hanging at the Brockville Public Library.�

Along with the Bridges and Reflections Series, Kreissler will have his acrylic Bass Harbour Light in Maine, Steam Revisited and others at the show.

When an individual looks at Kreissler’s paintings, he hopes his works stirs an emotion inside the viewer. He wants his art to speak!

Maureen Wharton “I have many different mediums and my background is sculpture and poetry,� said Wharton. “I’m currently taking experimental art and photography at the college,� she added. “I’m working towards my diploma in Fine See BAS page 19

Sian Tucker After attending an artist tour in Mallorytown, Tucker asked about joining a group and was invited to the group. “I started painting last year and just retired in September,� said Tucker. “I want to take some lessons.�

Tucker took art classes in school, but didn’t think seriously about painting until recently. “I love colour,� admitted Tucker.

Community - At the beginning of November, the MS Society of Leeds and Grenville will have Christmas fruit cakes and cookies for sale at various locations in Brockville including the TD Bank in Brockville Shopping Centre and Scotiabank on Stewart Blvd., as well as locations in Prescott. Forty-four years ago, John McClintock started selling cakes purchased as a special recipe from Mother’s Bakery. This fundraiser was so successful that over the years the idea caught the eye of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and now this is an annual event. For anyone who wants to purchase light or dark fruit cakes, in a tin or as blocks, cherry cake, Christmas pudding, shortbread fingers or shortbread cookies with chocolate chunks, please call the local MS Office at 613-342-6396 or 1-800-233-0811.

Arts.”

Wharton is working with language imposed into her art of watercolours, pastels, oils, acrylics and collages.

“I like to experience everything,” added Wharton.

She works on raw canvas, wood and regular canvas using two or three dimensional.

Her latest pieces are Morning Sun Through the Window and Evening Sun Through the Window.

Wharton will be showcasing pieces of art that have different surfaces and ways of approaching what people would call reality.

“I feel that art has a real purpose to help us develop and open people up to a deeper level,” said Wharton.

R0012944750_1030

Nancy Paul At the Brockville Artists Studio Show and Sale, Paul will be showing some fine art pieces.

“I paint on stone and glass, but I’ve always been a painter in acrylics and oil,” said Paul. The pieces in the show will be on canvas and paper with acrylic.”

Growing up, Paul thought she would become a full-time artist, but it wasn’t meant to be. So now Paul is picking up where she left off.

“I work primarily in acrylics, creating depth, dimension, texture and luminosity through multiple layers of glazes, scrumbles and sometimes collage on surfaces ranging from paper to sawn stone to ceramic tiles,” said Paul. “I build texture through collages and tracery in acrylic media and depth

Newly Renovated

through layers of acrylic glazes and scraped paint. I like to blend with my fingers to get the most subtle effects.”

Paul likes to bring things like a classical sculpture and put it into new context that involve juxtaposition or a contrast with nature.

She is also using medical imaging.

“It’s kinda different stuff,” said Paul.

“My main focus is a figure, because that is what I do best. For my painting Fish and Virus, a coelacanth; the images below the fish depicts the HIV virus penetrating and infecting a human T-lymphocyte cell.”

The reason she joined the Brockville Artists Studio is because it gives Paul a wider audience with more people sharing their comments on her work.

“Locally, municipalities are able to improve programs and infrastructure while additional revenues to the province are invested in important public services like health care and education,” Finance Minister Charles Sousa stated in a release.

Since the days of the Wintario lottery when OLG was created in the mid-1970s, the corporation has provided nearly $40 billion to the government.

News – Two host municipalities have received their latest slot machine revenue payments from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).

Both Gananoque and Leeds and the Thousand Islands got just over $480,835 for the second quarter of 2014-2015 (July to September). Since Casino Thousand Islands opened in 2002, each municipality has received almost $21 million in non-tax gaming revenue from OLG. The quarterly payments are based on an escalatingscale percentage of slot machine revenue; the same formula applies to other municipalities that host OLG gaming facilities.

The provincial agency provides the Government of Ontario with about $2 billion each year, which is the government’s largest source of non-tax rev-

Grenville Fish and Game Club marks 60 years Community - Whether the bullseye is a target, a clay pigeon or an animal or the weapon a rifle, a handgun or a bowand-arrow, there are few purer tests of skill than taking aim and trying to hit what your shooting at.

And it’s that challenge and the fun of meeting it that has drawn more and more people to hunting and shooting sports in recent years, and has made the Grenville Fish and Game Club all the more popular.

This past weekend was the club’s 60th anniversary, and to celebrate, the whole facility was in action, with members and guests touring around and testing their mettle out on the ranges. The club even fired up the barbecue and provided some great food free of charge to all those who stopped by.

It was in 1954 when a bunch of local guys interested in hunting, fishing and shooting got together and decided to form a club. The land on which the club still stands – located just northwest of Prescott on Campbell Road – was donated by a private landowner. Since then, the club has only grown.

In fact, the Grenville Fish and Game Club is now the second-largest such organization in Ontario, boasting about 800 memberships and more than 2,000 individual members. Why the difference between the two numbers? Because the organization has gone out of its way to make the club family-friendly and welcoming to not just men, but women and youth as well. As a result, a large proportion of the memberships sold are not to individuals but to entire families. “Women’s interest in the shooting sports has really grown over the years, so there are a lot of women in the club,� says Past-President Geoff Fortier. “And the club has done a lot to try to develop youth interest, too.�

More than that, though, the quality of the club’s facilities, and the range of opportunities it offers, have also drawn

a lot of interest from sportsmen from far beyond Prescott, with some people coming from as far away as Montreal to join the club.

The facility sits on 61 acres, with a brand new 1,900-square-foot club house, complete with kitchen and banquet area, built in 2000. Other buildings on the property house indoor ranges for not only firearms, including handguns, but also archery. The club is a registered non-profit organization and is run entirely by the members who volunteer their time.

For skeet and trap shooting, there are five stands with portable wireless throwers, and there are two 25-yard ranges and one 50-yard range for handguns and IPSC shooting. Archers, on the other hand, can take advantage of a purposebuilt indoor 3D range and also top-notch outdoor 3D courses.

But it’s not just hunters to which the club caters. A great many of its members are avid anglers, too, and every year, both in summer and winter, the club hosts fishing derbies throughout the area.

And for those with no experience hunting, shooting or fishing but who want to get into the sports, the Grenville Fish and Game Club is the best place to start, as the club offers training and certification courses, such as the Canadian Firearms Safety Course and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course as well as instruction required for the federal Possession and Acquisition Licence.

Most important to the success of the club over the past 60 years, though, have been those who have been a part of it. It’s a very tight-knit and active club where people enjoy not only taking part in a sport they love but each other’s company as well. “Everybody who comes to the club notes just how friendly everyone is,� says Lynn Holmes, special events chairman. “That, to me, makes the club.�

Just as the members get a lot out of the Grenville Fish and Game Club, so too does the community, which benefits from the club’s participation in many events and charitable causes throughout the area. The Grenville Goslings, the Grenville Paddlers and the Little Dreamer are just a few of the programs the club takes out on the road – or the water – to keep in touch with and contribute to the community.

In 60 years, the club has not only established itself in the community and grown into one of the best and largest such clubs in the province, but it has positioned itself to get even larger and introduce even more people to the fun and challenge of shooting and fishing. “I think it’s wonderful,� says treasurer Anne Armstrong. “It shows we’re doing something right.�

The Grenville Fish and Game Club is located at 2596 Campbell Road, and more information about the club and its activities can be found online at grenvillefishandgame.com.

“We are hopeful that Money Mart will open in their new space the first week of December,” said Doucet.

According to Doucet, Box Office Entertainment will be moving to another location.

“We already have an arrangement with a new tenant to go in there (existing building),” indicated Doucet. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done. We have to demolish the receiving area to provide the tenant with a square building which we are hopeful of doing by the end of January. We also have a new pylon which will be lower and accommodate four tenants.”

Teasing, Doucet said that he couldn’t reveal the name of the new tenant, but did say it is a national player.

“The front door of this building will be towards the mall,” said Doucet.

This decision to relocate the entrance into the building was due to the available parking, as well as easier access for those using city transit.

The new tenant could be operating as early as July 2015.

In January, Doucet hopes to announce who the tenant is, as well as talk about the possibility of another 9,000-square-foot build in the area between Easy Home and Staples.

“We have not leased that building yet,” said Doucet.

Doucet plans to have services available in this location for future development.

When the new zoning was introduced, the 1000 Islands Mall realized the opportunities for multipurpose uses, including institutional, office and residential.

“I have been on record for making the comment that at some point and time, whoever the owners, might see an opportunity to consider residential,” said Doucet. “Fortunately, half of our building, the eastern half when built was reinforced for a second storey or even a third storey.”

He feels that the additional space could be offices or residential.

“It doesn’t mean it will be done, it means it

“Again this year we have a lot of vendors coming in, Calendar Club, merryBOOKmas and Hickory Farms,” said Doucet. “The 6th and 7th of December, we have the Super Craft Sale with upwards of 85 plus crafters. As well, we’ll have Santa in Centre Court for photos and a children’s show.”

19 Meikle Drive, Maitland Beautiful 3 bedroom, two bath, multi-level home. Located in “much sought after” Maitland Park Estates. Roomy living room with fireplace. Ceramic hearth/cathedral ceilings, access to rear yard to your private deck. Double car attached garage. Over 1/2 acre private treed lot with your own 9 hole mini putt course. List at $219,900 mls Directions: East on 401 to Maitland Road. Turn south, left on John Street, right onto Meikle Drive. Watch for signs.

can be done,” said Doucet. “That has afforded us a sizable future development opportunity.”

Events “We are going into our busiest time of year,” said Doucet. “It’s Halloween, Remembrance Week and Christmas Week. People will see pumpkins hanging from the ceiling, a white hearse in Centre Court with a cutesy little driver and passenger.”

He continued to say Halloween at the 1000 Islands Mall is a huge event with 700 to 800 children coming in to trick or treat and attend activities.

“It’s not just the kids; the parents dress up as well,” added Doucet. “We have a Mall Halloween Parade which is a lovely family event.”

If it should rain, families will be indoors, nice and dry.

“On the heel of Halloween, is Remembrance Week,” said Doucet. “The week leading up to the 11th we have a series of events and displays honouring men and women who serve in the Armed Forces and have served.”

According to Doucet, Nov. 11 is reserved for the City of Brockville and the Royal Canadian Legion to take the lead with their ceremonies.

The displays will include the evolution of the Canadian worn uniforms, armoured vehicles and the Brockville Pipe Band will play on Tuesday, Nov. 4, between 7 and 8 p.m.

“This year we will open Remembrance Week with the unveiling of the Brockville, Home of the Canadian Flag display in the rotunda at Centre Court,” indicated Doucet. “All the paintings that the Thousand Islands Secondary School students did will be mounted around the rotunda, as well as a description about Brockville, Home of the Canadian Flag. We thought it is a great way to honour John Ross Matheson and Brockville.”

The date will be announced.

Doucet added that this is a permanent exhibit with arrangements to include future art work.

Following Remembrance Day, the public will see Christmas décor of inflatables accenting the interior of the 1000 Islands Mall.

Business – Renovating, painting, pleasing curb appeal, building and logo transformation are all part of the plans to enliven shopping experiences at the 1000 Islands Mall.

Not only is the Brockville mall getting a facelift, it is being reinvented.

“There is lots of things going on and certainly a lot more coming to the 1000 Islands Mall,” said senior property manager Leo Doucet.

After the Bulk Barn moved, Ardene went from 2,500 to 5,700 square feet, changing the liquidation store to regular fashion accessories.

As for The Source, it moved to the space once occupied by Le Chateau.

“Fernleigh’s Outdoor Sporting and Vacation Centre are looking to start a series of personal appearances by renowned hunters and fishermen,” said Doucet. “As well, we relocated our large community room, across from Laura Secord for larger groups. This room and the smaller room are both available.”

Doucet revealed Rockport Shoes Outlet will be occupying the former Ardene space and opening very soon.

“It has become a crusade of mine to anchor the west end of the mall with a foodstore,” said Doucet. “I don’t give up easily and perhaps success lies in the smaller regional food operations rather than the national branding. People should be familiar with Mike Dean Super Food Stores, Foodsmiths, Kudrinko’s and Produce Depot.”

On the exterior the entire building was painted a lovely earth tone to match the dark top.

“We have changed our logo,” said Doucet, “and all the entrance signage.”

Although time has run out for more renovations, next year a ramp will be available at the third entrance (facing 401), to give those with wheelchairs an alternative entry.

As well, the mall’s roadway along the 401 corridor is now one way: east to west. This measure was taken to accommodate the costeffective waste removal compactors and safety concerns.

“The other big change that we did is the landscaping,” expressed Doucet. “We have put rockery, shrub and flower garden islands at all of the entry points of the property.”

Plus, a landscape strip of shrubs and trees will be apparent once the building is completed.

Also, the City of Brockville would like to position an Aquatarium sign on the southeast

Trees for Children gearing up for another successful year

By JAN MURRAY

News - It’s almost that time of year again. Though some may be in denial, it is inevitable. Local resident Lindsay Pennell has been hard at work for some time now preparing for another successful fundraiser. She strongly believes, “If you are passionate about your community and a cause, make it happen.”

Wanting to bring awareness and much needed funds to the issue of children’s mental health, Pennell initiated “Trees for Children” in 2013, holding her inaugural event at Fulford Place.

With numerous charities from which to choose, Pennell opted for children’s mental health as it has touched her family on a more personal level.

“I personally suffer from general anxiety disorder, which means my children are predisposed to it genetically,” Pennell explained. “My fiancé and I wanted to ensure that our children felt comfortable discussing any issues as they grow and we felt our community as a whole should feel supported when it came to this mental health issue.”

Fiancé Nicholas Daigle provides enormous support for Pennell. She also receives assistance from her sister, who last year was instrumental in setting up pr/communications. Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and friends all jumped onboard to support her. “I’ve also been lucky to have the support and guidance from my mentor and boss Kim Barr, who assists through social media marketing guidance.”

“Brockberry Grill and Maplehurst Manor are key sponsors of this event,” Pennell says of this year’s event. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to afford to host this and raise the money for the organizations.”

“Last year Fulford kicked off our inaugural year and it was a wonderful

Melanie Wall-Green of Home Hardware and Lindsay Pennell. Pennell is once again organizing Trees for Children, while Home Hardware has donated the trees for this fundraising venture. success,” explains Pennell. “Brockberry Grill catered the event last year and recently purchased the picturesque Maplehurst Manor in Maitland, Ontario.

With this new venue available by one

of our first key sponsors, we wanted to showcase the Maplehurst. As the money raised serves families in Leeds Grenville, we wanted to keep the venue in the district but look at our options of

hosting it in various venues to encompass the entire community.”

In the initial stages last year, she needed to find Christmas trees. “I approached Home Hardware, who generously donated in-part the actual trees.”

Pennell explained. “Without their generous donation, I would not have been able to buy the trees at the very low cost they provided.” She adds, “Support was also given by local MP Gord Brown, MPP Steve Clark as well as local media.”

Once someone decides they would like to sponsor a tree, Pennell informs them of the day and time of the “decorating day.” On decorating day, all supporters will gather and decorate their trees at the same time. This year’s theme is open which opens up the opportunity for great creativity. “There will be a contest for best decorations,” Pennell adds.

She can be reached at 613-803-6501; donations can be made under the name Trees for Children at the TD Bank in downtown Brockville.

Sponsors are encouraged to bring two or three employees with them to decorate the trees at this year’s venue, Maplehurst Manor. Media will also be present at that time to capture the fun as it unfolds.

Upon completion, sponsors are welcomed back for a thank you cocktail reception; an open reception held on Dec.14 from 1-3 p.m. where the public may view the trees. Tickets for this event are $15 each or two for $25 and can be purchased through Pennell herself and hopefully soon available at other venues.

All money raised will go to the two local causes: Friends for Autism and A Dog for Drew.

The trees remain on display from Nov. 12 through until mid-January.

Those who wish to view the trees but are

unable to attend the reception on Dec. 14 may contact Maplehurst Manor for a tour.

Last year’s event raised just over $2,000 with proceeds going to the Fulford Heritage Trust Fund for hosting the event and to Friends for Autism.

Although Pennell tries not to set a goal she is hoping for another successful year. “I never set a goal, because I feel that as long as community comes together and awareness is raised, any monetary amount we can raise to help our local residents is a huge bonus.

The event has the potential to raise a lot of money with community participation.”

Businesses from all areas of the spectrum are jumping onboard; retail, manufacturing, small business, finance, even personal donations. Trees can be purchased for a donation of $100. For $150 you may decorate the mantle and $200 buys you the opportunity to decorate the lone grand staircase.

Pennell hopes that one day this event will be one for which people “save the date.” An event that families plan ahead for so they may all enjoy the tour together, year after year. “Ideally, I want it big enough to bring conversation about mental health around the dinner tables nationwide.”

“If you see a need for something in our community, do it.” Pennell is a firm believer of doing whatever you can to make this world a better place. “This event was just an idea I had as our family are big advocates for mental health.

It took time, planning and support, but it was a great success and anyone can do this. Mental health disorders affect many Canadians and people worldwide.

We need to continue to do research and have discussions about how we can help one another.”

Four winter tires needed on your vehicle not just two Lifestyle - While most of us get it when it comes to winter tires; A) we need them and B) we need four not two, there are still a few out there that think just two snow tires are sufficient to get us through a Canadian winter. One of the clearest lessons I’ve come across to prove the need for four winter tires was delivered a few weeks back on a major U.S. network morning news show.

A standard front wheel drive compact sedan was road-tested with two new summer tires on the front wheels and two worn tires (50 per cent tread remaining) on the rears. After all, it only makes sense that if you’re putting just two new tires on the front of a front-wheel drive car, you’d put them on the front, right?

The car was then operated on a large flat circular test track that was slick with water at temperatures well above freezing. The intrepid helmeted newscaster was only doing about 40 mph when the rear wheels of the vehicle lost traction without warning

and put the vehicle into a spin.

When it was finally brought under control and to a stop, the equivalent of four lanes of highway had been crossed, leaving the driver to imagine what type of collision would have occurred on a crowded freeway.

The test was then repeated with the new tires installed on the rear and the worn ones on the front. This time the driver was able to reach 55 mph under the same conditions and never lost control. The reason given by the reporter; with the worn tires on the front, the handling was much more predictable and the steering feedback clearly indicated at what speed traction loss was imminent allowing time to ease of the gas pedal to avoid sliding or skidding.

This condition is only compounded when driv-

ing on ice or snow leading any professional tire retailer to install new tires on the rear of a front wheel, rear wheel, or all-wheel drive vehicle when a customer only wants two. If you want to know why dear old dad or grandpa were able BRIAN TURNER to make it through winters with only two tires, consider the weight of their cars compared to today’s and the lower engine power those older sleds put out.

A thoughtful reader sent in these tips after I ran a piece on preparing classic and collector cars for winter storage. Thanks very much!

“Hi Brian, You provide such a great service to us – keep it up!! Re: your recent item on “...winter storage up for discussion this week.” I have stored my two ‘boy toys’ (’79 MGB and ’01 Z3 3.0l) in unheated garage space for years. Have a couple of items to add to your list: · Use steel wool to block exhaust pipe and air intake hole – prevents critter nesting. · Spread ‘bounce dryer sheets’ or mothballs around floor and car interior – deters critters. · Over inflate tires (not to exceed max pressure limit) – reduces risk for tire flat spots. · Fuel stabilizer in full fuel tank – prevents gasoline degradation.

Hope this is useful. Thanks again.”

Q G - Ottawa Another great tidbit of feedback I received on another story came from a much closer source; one

Car Counsellor

2014

of my area neighbours. After I ran a letter from a reader interested in retaining ownership of his ‘written-off’ car after a collision, my neighbour reminded me about his experience in doing the same thing, and it was a long and arduous experience.

First, he received what he considered a very fair cash settlement from his insurance firm. Secondly he works in the trade so he had access to cheap parts and great body-shop labour rates.

At the end of the very long repair he had put a considerable amount of his own money in the job and found it very hard to find a shop that was qualified, licensed, and willing to complete the required inspection. In fact in the entire Ottawa area he only found one. If there was anything more detailed and difficult than the actual repair about these cases, it’s the paper work. The inspecting/ certifying shop must provide a paper and photo trail for literally every nut and washer used and the application for re-registration of a total-loss vehicle can be delayed for weeks because of one missing slip of paper or receipt.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Tournament proceeds go to Ryan’s Well

Lifestyle – The generosity of Eastern Ontario insurance brokerage offices and other members of the business community, together with Grenville Mutual Insurance, will help construct a new project under the direction of Ryan’s Well Foundation.

The Grenville Mutual Insurance annual charity golf tournament raised $21,000 – double the amount raised at last year’s event. This annual event was held at the award-winning eQuinelle Golf Club north of Kemptville.

“For well over a century Grenville Mutual has enhanced people’s lives by contributing to causes in the communities where we do business and also live,”

commented Ross Lincoln, president and CEO of Grenville Mutual. “This is an opportunity to give back: to do something truly special for families we may never meet, but through the miracle of Ryan’s Well, we get a chance to not only allow them to better their lives, but to simply stay alive,” added Lincoln.

The second annual Charity Invitational tournament was organized by Grenville Mutual Insurance, with 100 per cent of the proceeds donated directly to Ryan’s Well Foundation. The funds will be put to work in the Alebtong district of northern Uganda where a well will be constructed, providing a community with access to much-needed safe water. Ad-

ditionally, pump mechanic training will give local people the skills to maintain their new water source for many years. In the coming months, health will dramatically improve for hundreds of families, thanks to clean drinking water.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained Dillon Consulting Limited (Dillon) to complete the designs and Class Environmental Assessments (EA) to replace the trail and Thousand Island Parkway bridges at two locations: Landons Bay, east of Gananoque, Ontario and Jones Creek, west of Brockville, Ontario. The Thousand Islands Parkway will remain open to traffic during construction at each location; however, it will be reduced to one lane, with temporary signals used to accommodate two directions of travel. Trail user access will be maintained throughout construction. Boating and other waterway access will also be maintained during construction although it is anticipated that recreational use of the shoreline area immediately surrounding both bridges will be interrupted during construction.

STUDY OVERVIEW

Public and agency consultation is an important component of the studies. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held in the next few months for each project location once the recommended alternatives have been identified and the impacts have been assessed. An online webinar will also be hosted to share the project information to those unable to attend the PIC in person. A Notice of each PIC will be published in local newspapers. If you would like to be contacted directly prior to the PIC, please contact Dillon at the address below and request to be added to the contact list.

Braves golf tourney supports Making Play Possible

R0012906240/0925

Sports – Sharon Cowan and Brian Perkins of the Brockville Braves Golf Tournament Committee present Catherine Deplaedt and Shelley McCaffrey of Making Play Possible with a cheque for $1,500 at the Braves game at the memorial centre on Friday night. In 2013-2014, Making Play Possible funded 88 local boys and girls to play hockey in Leeds-Grenville. The program has supported more than 5,000 kids in various activities since 2004.

Tired of sitting at home looking out the window?

News – While everyone in the municipality was busy thinking about the nearing municipal election, the Liberal party was starting to think about another election: next year’s federal one.

On Sunday, Oct. 19, the Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands-Rideau Lakes Federal Liberal Association held a meet and greet event at the Odd Fellows Hall in Kemptville, offering a chance for locals to meet the candidates for the Leeds-Grenville area.

There are three candidates running to be the next Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) in Leeds-Grenville (the current name of the riding): Josh Bennett, Kyle Johnston and Mary Jean McFall.

All were present at the meet and greet to get to know the locals and to discuss and debate issues.

Bennett Josh Bennett grew up in Augusta Township as the son of Rev. Alan Bennett and Wendy Bennett, a teacher. He attended South Grenville High School in Prescott before heading to Queen’s University to earn a bachelor of arts and a bachelor of physical health and education.

Shortly after graduating from Queen’s, Bennett studied at the Royal Military College in Kingston, where he earned a master of arts.

For the last 12 years, Bennett has successfully pursued a career in market research and has worked in both Canada and the United Kingdom. He is now

an associate vice president with Ipsos Reid.

Having been active in politics before, and being frustrated by the lack of active employment opportunity in LeedsGrenville and the increasingly partisan environment on Parliament, Bennett moved back home in 2013 to seek the Liberal nomination to bring positive change for the community.

As the local MP, Bennett says he’ll help to diversify the local economy through progressive policies that attract new industries; work to end partisan attacks in Parliament that are not in the national interest; and engage the interest and actions of younger voters.

Visit www.joshbennett.ca for more information on his campaign.

Johnston Kyle Johnston was born and raised in Brockville, where he also attended the Brockville Collegiate Institute. Since then, he’s earned an honour’s bachelor of arts in political science from McMaster University and a masters in international affairs from the Norman Patterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University.

Over the years, Johnston spent time travelling and working throughout Canada and abroad. Currently, he works as a policy analyst for Senator Grant Mitchell, where he focuses on energy, environment and defence policy.

Johnston currently lives on his hobby farm in Spencerville with his fiancée Katherine.

KV LIBERAL From page 32

If elected as the local MP, Johnston says he has several issues he would like to focus on.

Opportunity, he said, needs to be brought back to Leeds-Grenville. What this means, he said, is seeking out investment opportunities in the riding, as well as creating an economic development strategy to bring together municipal and provincial partners. Also, opportunity means fighting for local heritage sites, like the Rideau River, to attract tourists.

He would also like to address community well-being in the form of looking at the rising costs associated with taking care of parents and grandparents and working on confronting income disparities and enabling access to affordable services.

More information on Johnston’s campaign can be found at www.kylejohnston.ca.

from 1987 to 1993, until she moved back home to Lyn to work as part of her family’s business, Burnbrae Farms Limited.

Since 2000, McFall has been practicing law locally in Brockville, where she is a partner in the firm of Templeman Menninga LLP, specializing in corporate-commercial law as well as real estate and wills and estates.

In 2010, McFall was elected to the Brockville city council, where she has served as a councillor for four years.

McFall has been married to her husband, Ian, for 27 years and they have three grown sons.

McFall says she decided to enter the race for nomination as the Liberal MP for Leeds-Grenville because she would like to continue serving her community. The primary issues facing the local community are economic, she said.

She wants to work on solutions and ideas for what the plan is for a vibrant and prosperous future; how to create and preserve sustainable jobs that keep people in the community; how to ensure stable incomes for farmers in all sectors in the rural areas; and what tools are needed, including modern and adequate infrastructure, to realize this vision.

McFall Mary Jean McFall was born and raised in the Lyn and Brockville area.

Wheeler announces she is working on book number five

By JAN MURRAY

News - The Grenville County Historical Society met at the Royal Canadian Legion in Prescott on Wednesday, Oct. 22, during which time Sandra Robertson presented Rick Carson with the organization’s Award of Merit.

“This year’s award of merit belongs to Rick Carson who has significantly preserved and promoted the history of Grenville by sharing his postcard collection.”

As Carson posed for pictures he thanked the society and added, “I didn’t expect this,” to which Robertson quickly rebutted, “Oh you did so,” bringing the entire room into a fit of laughter.

The next item on the agenda was a presentation by Lawrence Levere, pastchairman of the South Nation Conservation Authority, to Fraser Laschinger.

“Each year South Nations Conservation Authority is happy to provide small grants for activities that are somehow connected with the South Nation River.

Two years ago we were involved with the plaque that was erected up near Maynard and this year when I heard that there was going to be something reminding us of where Grants Mills use to be, you really should apply for another River Grant as it is certainly part of the heritage of the River,” Levere began.

He explained that when he first broached the subject no one had ever heard of a mill other than the Spencerville Mill. One thing that they did was to

Google that particular area and it showed where the river was widened to make the mill pond.

“Unanimously, the communications committee agreed to present a grant to the historical society,” Levere continued, “I am here tonight to happily present this grant.”

Each year, each of the directors of the conservation authority have the privilege of making another small grant on their own of whatever they believe to be a worthy endeavour and this year, Levere was happy to also award the discretionary grant. “Hopefully, you can use this to hopefully put another plaque somewhere around the South Nation River, because this is what makes history come alive.”

Wheeler speaks Sandra Shouldice then introduced their guest speaker of the evening, Maggie Wheeler.

“Earlier, a couple of gentleman heard me greet Maggie, saying that she was a hero,” Shouldice began. “I knew her to be a hero before I met her. At the time we were celebrating the 40th year of the inundation of the water. To celebrate that year our meetings encouraged members to reminisce about the building of the seaway.”

“To hear those memories coming from members of our society, they really were very emotional in telling their experiences; losing land that had been in their families for 200 years.”

The lost village society, that has been

formed to keep the memory of the lost village alive were very pleased that Wheeler chose to set a murder mystery in that area. “To broadcast and celebrate the history and heritage of an area to a broader area is a very important task,” said Laschinger.

“This lady, through her interesting novels,” added Shouldice, “has done just that.”

Wheeler thanked the group for inviting her to join them for their annual dinner. She explained how special it is for her to speak to members of a historical society because “you already get it.”

As Wheeler began her talk, she quickly admitted that in light of the tragic event in Ottawa, her speech obviously went right out the window.

“When these days come, they shake us for two reasons. They shake us because the events we are looking at are strange and disturbing, but they also shake us because the events are horribly familiar,” she continued, “And when these things happen, I look at them through the lens of history.”

As she explained how a series of events, that have taken place throughout her lifetime, have shaped not only her life but how she looks at and remembers each event, the group was clearly mesPhoto by JAN MURRAY merized by her synopsis of it and how it continues to change the way society Sandra Robertson presents Rick Carson with the Grenville County Hisdeals with crisis. torical Society’s Award of Merit at the organization’s annual dinner in

WHEELER From page 34

“My third daughter is taking her degree at Royal Military College.

She has had quite the day.” Her voice emotional, she continued. “CFB is of course in lockdown. The campus of RMC cannot completely lock down but is on high alert and all the gates are closed.”

She reminded everyone how those beautiful ceremonial gates are always open, and how breathtaking it looks.

She had, just moments before taking the podium, received a picture of those gates, closed and locked. The room was silent as everyone felt the enormity of what she had just said.

“So when the time comes, personally speaking,” she continued, “I take my strength and my direction from history. In each case we learn and we respond.”

“We learn from our mistakes, we learn from our history, and our history is very much alive and present in the present day.”

For the past 15 years, Wheeler’s specialty has been the history of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project and the people that it affected. She recognized that many people present either knew about or were directly affected by all that happened in the river from 1954 - 1958.

The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was talked about for almost

an entire century before they actually began. It was given its name because it had two goals, but both were the interest of two parties who were actually attached by one feature on the St. Lawrence River, the international rapid section.

“That section of the river was roughly just west of Cornwall to just east of Cardinal,” Wheeler continued.

She explained the difficulties that this section had caused and for many many years.

She explained in some detail the depth of this project, how many people it affected and how lives were changed. “It was also the first billiondollar project in history. The local people called it the deep water project.”

At the peak of construction there were almost 27,000 workers working on this project. She explained this as “basically a small city working to complete this project, but when it was finished, unfortunately they were all gone.”

She continued to explain the project, how and why it came to be and the losses that were experienced. This is where the story became emotional. As she told the stories of some of those who lost their homes, some centuryold homes, some that had been in families for generations, completely lost forever, the tales were heartwrenching.

For Wheeler, who has been referred to as the Jessica Fletcher of Ingleside, these stories, this history, all churn inside her, a story develops, a twist here and a turn there and before you know it she has concocted a murder!

She has over the years written four books. All along, the murders happen in the days of the seaway but investigations take place in the present day.

In her first book, A Violent End, a young woman is haunted by questions about her mother’s unexplained past and her father’s identity. She travels to her mother’s childhood home and her investigation begins. The book brings history and present day together and readers relate to the familiarity of the area and the possibility of the events.

The mystery continues in her second book, The Brother of Sleep, when once again the past creeps into the present day and the murder mystery unfolds.

Many of those in attendance had read not just one but all four of Wheeler’s books and her storytelling abilities were quite evident. Not surprisingly, when Wheeler announced she is currently working on book number five, there were smiles all around. So who will be murdered next, you wonder? You’ll have to read book number five to find out.

Local SEB acknowledges former leader

Photo by TIM RUHNKE Photo by JAN MURRAY

Business - Cathy Gilmer, who oversees the local Self-Employment Benefit (SEB) Program, pays tribute to former SEB leader and Brockville Mayor Ben TeKamp at an SEB alumni event held at the Prescott Golf Club last Tuesday. TeKamp, who led the program for 15 years, died earlier this month. He made all SEB participants feel important and encouraged them to follow their passions, according to Gilmer. The photo on the screen is of TeKamp with examples of what SEB clients produced when he gave them an assignment to take a clothespin and make something of it. SEB is delivered in the Brockville area and Grenville by Prescott-based GCFDC. Participants develop and implement their own business plans and receive income support during the process.

Events – A Healthcare Job Fair was held at the Employment and Education Centre in Brockville on Oct. 22, providing those looking for work in the health-care field with an opportunity to meet with potential employers as well as educators. Among those on hand was Angie Dukelow of St. Lawrence College. The centre also provided workshops by Lesley Cameron for helpful interview techniques.

cheese auction! Don’t worry about what to wear – but as mum always said, you can never be overdressed!

It is hard to imagine that at one time the area around Brockville had the highest concentration of cheese factories in the county and much of this cheese was shipped through Brockville to points all around the globe. Now there is a new generation of artisan cheese-makers setting up shop across Ontario, including Bushgarden Cheese in Elgin. With the help of Wendy’s Country Market, purveyor of locally grown and organic

products we are able to let you have a taste of some of these amazing local cheeses.

Don’t miss the chance to have a “gouda” time while “putting it on the ritz”! Tickets are $25 per person; that includes cheese samples, music and dancing, the cheese auction, games and door prizes. A cash bar will also be available. Proceeds go to the Brockville Museum’s Open Drawer Project.
