Music to commemorate two World Wars on Saturday

By DOREEN BARNES

The Maple Leaf Brass Band, well known to Brockvillians, is presenting the Festival of Remembrance ceremony, as composed by tenor Chris Coyea. The event takes place at the Brockville Arts Centre on Saturday, Nov. 7.

This concert features bass Alex Fleuriau Chateau accompanied by pianist Margaret Whiselle and the St. John United Church Choir.

“The Festival of Remembrance is based on a Royal British Legion tradition that was started at Royal Albert Hall in London, England and it’s always traditionally done the Saturday before Remembrance Day,” said Coyea. “It’s a ceremony commemorating those who have given their lives or who are continuing to serve for their country. So the Maple Leaf Brass Band thought they would like to try one here and make it an annual event.”

There will be the customary hymns like the Mariner’s hymn in which people can join, along with the Algonquin First Nation’s Whispering Winds.

“The Whispering Winds will have traditional soldier songs,” said Coyea. “There will be two sets of music com-

memorating each of the World Wars. Although it’s quite a solemn thought provoking ceremony, there will also be lighter moments where we will highlight the music of the wars.”

Coyea indicated in the songs from the First World War, there will be a medley like the marching song “Pack up your Troubles in an old Kit Bag” and from the Second World War, “Bless ‘Em All” will be sung.

“The evening will start with O Canada,” stated Coyea, “then the Whispering Winds will perform. One of the members is currently serving with the Armed Forces.

That is the other thing - that the Maple Leaf Brass Band are made up of many retired from the Armed Forces and RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).”

He thinks there will be one scripture reading although the event is not sacred, and emphasis will be put on the War Horses of World War I. “There is a lovely piece of music called “Only Remembered”,” said Coyea. “The other is called “A Pittance of Time”, that spotlights the War Horses. Also, there will be “In Flanders Fields” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”.”

As well, the Brockville Rifles will be in attendance.

In addition, there will be video and slides playing in the background as the performers are singing to highlight the numbers.

Reasonable ticket prices Coyea mentioned that because Irvine Funeral Home and Chapel came on board with the financial aspect of the traditional ceremony, ticket prices are very reasonable.

“Ticket prices are low so the Brockville citizens can attend and half-price tickets are for anybody who has served or continues to serve and for anyone that comes in uniform,” said Coyea. “Any of our service men and women in the community whether they be police, firefighters, if they come in uniform it would be half price. We want to make it accessible to everybody.”

Ticket prices are $23.50, plus HST and available at the arts centre box office, or by calling 1-877-342-7122 or 613-342-7122 and email is bac@brockville.com.

In hopes that this event will become an annual one, the Maple Leaf Brass Band from Ottawa and local tenor Chris Coyea (shown here), along with other individuals, are bringing the Royal British Legion Remembrance tradition to the Brockville Arts Centre on Saturday, Nov. 7.

This very moving presentation was composed by Coyea and pays tribute to those who have served and continue to serve this country.

Hydro One sale opponents want to spread the word Grenville MPP Steve Clark. His Progressive Conservative caucus colleague and the provincial party’s critic for the Hydro One sale, MPP Todd Smith, is the special guest.

“I’m pleased to team up with Rhonda to raise awareness about the government’s dangerous plan to sell off this invaluable

public asset,” Clark stated in a release issued Thursday. “Despite the government’s assurances, we know rates will go up,” stated the local MPP, who added “that’s a frightening prospect for families in my riding who are already being forced to choose between heating and eating this winter.”

Ferguson indicated that privatization

and resulting rate increases would force many businesses to close or move out of the province, “…create serious problems with outages, result in less money for public services as well as giving us less control over carbon emissions and other pollution.” Keeping hydro in public hands “…was to ensure accountability and reli-

The district health unit’s flu shot clinics in the Leeds and Grenville area will start later this month.

Influenza vaccinations will be provided free of charge in the following communities: Brockville (Memorial Centre on Nov. 23 from 2 to 6:30 p.m.), Gananoque (high school on Nov. 26 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.), Athens (Pineview Public School on Dec. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m.) and Prescott (South Grenville DHS on Dec. 7 from 4 to 6 p.m.). The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit will also host flu shot clinics in Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Lanark and Perth later this month or in early December. For dates and times, visit www.healthunit.org or call 1-800-660-5853.

The health unit is recommending that everyone above the age of six months get immunized each year. Other health-care providers and many pharmacies are also offering flu shots; pharmacies are not permitted to give flu shots to anyone under the age of five, a health unit release notes.

CPHC offers workplace flu clinics to local businesses in Brockville and surrounding areas.

Although influenza is a preventable illness, it can be very dangerous to some people. Individuals who are at greater risk of developing serious complications from the flu include very young children, pregnant women, the elderly and adults and children with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, respiratory or cardiac ailments.

The health unit indicates that a person cannot get the flu from receiving a flu shot. Some people might experience a mild fever or feel tired or have muscle aches after being immunized; this is considered a normal reaction to being vaccinated.

As for preventing the spread of influenza, the health unit advises the public to wash hands, cover coughs and keep frequently touched hard surfaces clean. Someone who feels sick should stay home and keep their distance from others as much as possible.

Brockville choir marks 70th anniversary of war’s end

Students start collecting for Spirit of Giving Food drives in support of the 2015 Spirit of Giving have begun.

The annual Christmas campaign provides Christmas hampers to less fortunate residents of the South Grenville area. The boxes include Christmas dinner items as well as non-perishable food items, household items and toys. The campaign is run by the Kinsmen Club of Prescott with assistance by the Spirit of Giving club at South Grenville District High School.

Students were scheduled to go door to door to collect canned goods in Prescott late in the afternoon and early in the evening on Tuesday, Nov. 3 and Wednesday, Nov. 4, and again on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Food drives are planned for Maitland on Nov. 11 and 17, Spencerville on Nov. 18, Maynard on Nov. 24 and Johnstown on Nov. 25.

Spirit of Giving baskets will be dis-

tributed about one week before Christmas. More than 330 households in Prescott, Augusta and Edwardsburgh/ Cardinal received a hamper in 2014; that set a new record for recipients.

The Christmas program originated as a South Grenville class project led by teacher Bernie Currier 30 years ago.

More than 50 members of the Brockville Community Choir, under the direction of Dr. Heather Eyerly and accompanied by artistic collaborator Malcolm Gillis, will present two concerts. War and Peace will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in November and Handel’s Messiah Sing Along in December.

Members have practiced diligently to bring the public these two enjoyable concerts, so please attend.

that are in public domain. You can find some of those Messiah courses from that particular website.”

The proceeds from the December event will be given to area food banks.

Again, the tickets will be available from choir members, Leeds County Books, Flower Brockville, as well as at the door, the afternoon of the event.

“I think the War and Peace concert is going to be a little bit heavier, the content in particular and the Messiah is going to be fun, a hoot, as we’ll have a great time,” said Eyerly. “Everybody is singing everything; so everybody is singing solos, everybody is singing the duets and everything that is happening in the Messiah, everybody is doing.

For the War and Peace, I think it is important for us to continue to look backwards so we can look forward and this commemoration of the 70th anniversary is what is so very important.”

Eyerly doesn’t think that this concert has ever been done in Brockville.

“I think it is a first for the community to actually hear bits and pieces of the Dona Nobis Pacem as well as the Davidson’s I Never Saw a Butterfly and Dalglish’s Hymnody of the Earth,” stated Eyerly. “We are bringing a hammer dulcimer all the way from Kitchener-Waterloo. That’s the closest one we could find that was available.”

In the eight years that Eyerly has been with the Brockville Community Choir, this year has the largest membership of 51 with several men singing and more are encouraged to join.

Eyerly wants the public to know that the members have worked extremely hard on all of the music, especially the demanding War and Peace, which is not all that easy to learn and invites the public to attend.

Everybody can benefit from vaccination against the flu.

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the Brockville Community Choir is presenting War and Peace at St. Francis Xavier Church in Brockville on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

“We are starting with Fauré’s Requiem and then we will go into parts of Malcolm Dalglish’s Hymnody of the Earth, which is actually a commemoration of Hiroshima,” said artistic director Dr. Heather E. Eyerly, “accompanied by a hammer dulcimer (strings stretched over a trapezoidal sounding board struck by a small mallet hammer), which is very unique.”

Following, Hymnody of the Earth will be Charles Davidson’s I Never Saw a Butterfly, very moving poetry written by the children in Terezin.

“We will end with the three movements from the Vaughan William’s Dona Nobis Pacem,” added Eyerly.

Tickets for this event are adult $25, student $10 and free for children 12 years of age and under, available from choir members, Leeds County Books and Flowers Brockville.

As well, the Brockville Community Choir will present another concert, Handel’s Messiah Sing Along at Wall Street United Church, at 3 p.m., on Sunday, Dec. 20.

“That’s actually a sing along,” indicated Eyerly. “So you don’t have to be a singer to enjoy it. You can come in and be part of the audience.”

For those that would rather listen to Messiah and not sing it, they are invited to sit in the balcony of the sanctuary.

“The nice thing about Wall Street is that we can utilize the multi-media and people do not necessarily have to bring a score (music sheet),” said Eyerly. “If they wish, they can print it from online, imslp.org, a free music site for things

Wildlife area run is scary but fun

It was an early start to the Halloween costume parade on Oct. 31.

The inaugural Run For Your Lives 5K was held in the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area east of Tincap and north of Brockville on Saturday morning. In addition to the dozens of runners who took part in the friendly 5-km race, there were zombies stationed along the course to keep participants on their toes.

Event organizer Chris Hall-Emslie joked that the zombies were instructed not to scare the younger children. The non-competitive run was a fundraiser for the Pathways for Prosperity program established

by Brockville Councillor Leigh Bursey.

Grants are provided to local students to assist them with post-secondary tuition costs.

Celebrating home-grown business successes

By DOREEN BARNES

The first annual Leeds and Grenville Immigrant Entrepreneurship Award and the 2015 Entrepreneur of the Year Award were presented at the Bridges to Better Business conference at CJ’s Banquet Hall in Brockville on Thursday, Oct. 29.

Prior to the award presentations, there were morning workshops with Brent Mondoux and a keynote speaker – Brockville native Jackson Wyatt, one half of a brother duo with Morgan, on their success with compost bin, the Greenlid.

Leeds and Grenville Immigrant Entrepreneurship Award According to Program Manager Melissa Francis of the Leeds and Grenville Immigration Partnership, this recognition goes to immigrants that make a significant contribution in the community.

The first ever Leeds and Grenville Immigrant Entrepreneurship Award was announced by way of a video, which was the Sandhu Dental Group with brothers, Drs. Raja and Gurfateh Sandhu.

These individuals came to Brockville eight years ago, have opened nine dental offices in Eastern Ontario and employ about 70 individuals.

“We have got love and support (from the community); I just want to say thank you for the award and we will keep working hard and get more immigrants to make this community prosperous,” said Raja.

Entrepreneur of the Year Award This annual event is hosted by the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre (LGSBEC), and the centre has been instrumental in starting this award process.

“The award provides recognition to a local business who exemplifies these skills of perseverance, a willingness to tolerate uncertainty, a willingness to take risks, patience, versatility, high energy level and a strong need to achieve,” said LGSBEC Manager Wendy Onstein.

The winner of the 2015 Entrepreneur of the Year Award is Kevin Savoy of Kevin Savoy ActionCoach.

In 2010, Savoy bought a franchise, ActionCoach, and has never looked back. He’s in demand all over Eastern Ontario assisting business owners reach their full potential.

For four years, he had worked with the small business centre volunteering as a mentor and coach for Summer Company, Starter Company and in the Business Success Coaching plus GrowthCLUB. Savoy belongs to Business Network International and the Brockville Business Network and has given of his time to present at the Ad and Sales Club, Kemptville Woman in Business, as well as Brockville Women in Business.

Jackson Wyatt, Keynote Speaker Of the Wyatt brother duo, only Jackson was available to speak on Thursday, as his brother Morgan was tending to business, meeting with venture capital firms. Jackson shared their business success story including the business lows.

“The Greenlid, the compostable compost bin, potentially it looks like egg carton material,” said Jackson. “The cool thing about the Greenlid is, that it is waterproof.”

The bin will not leak, there’s no smell, comes with a dishwasher safe lid (recyclable) and can be used several times.

To date, over one million Greenlid compost bins have been manufactured in Canada, diverting two million kilograms of waste from going to the landfill and prevented the release of 500,000 kilograms of greenhouse gases.

Jackson told those in attendance how he and Morgan raised start-up funds to produce the Greenlid molds and finance their business idea along with discussing their appearance on Dragon’s Den and the need for mentors.

Currently, these two individuals are securing venture capital to broaden their distribution of the Greenlid into other countries, as well as produce other environmentally conscious products, namely mosquito traps.

“It’s pretty exciting, as we might have something that will help with yellow fever or malaria,” said Jackson.

At the end of Jackson’s speech, he invited everyone to take a starter pack of the Greenlid.

Letter to the Editor

Legion members are an important resource DEAR EDITOR:

The Royal Canadian Legion and its 300,000 members are the guardians of Remembrance in Canada. As such, the Legion offers a number of resources that are easily accessible when planning events during the upcoming National Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day ceremonies in your local area.

For example, there is your local branch of The Royal Canadian Legion. By contacting veterans in the branch, you may find those who would share their experiences with you.

Other resources may be found by going to our website: www. legion.ca under “Honour and Remember,” where you can find a wealth of information concerning Poppy and Remembrance, Youth Education and our Teaching Guide to name just a few.

You may also refer to the section on the Legion’s Pilgrimage of Remembrance which will give you personal impressions of the battlefields and gravesites visited by those who attended these pilSee LEGION page 9

We’re not quite at the point when we can say it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (or the holidays, if you’d prefer), but signs of the upcoming season are becoming more evident every day. One of those early indicators is the return of the Spirit of Giving campaign in the South Grenville area (Augusta, Edwardsburgh/Cardinal and Prescott).

The program that originated as a high school class project three decades ago and is now overseen by a service club provided Christmas baskets to more than 330 households in South Grenville last December, and we don’t expect that number to get any smaller this year. South Grenville District High School students who support the Kinsmen-led campaign began their door-to-door food drives this week and will be hitting different communities during the next few weeks. It’s always encouraging to see the teens as well as children at elementary schools in the South Grenville area wanting to help the cause and make the Christmas season better for other people in their community. We know that this spirit also exists with other programs that are run in other portions of our coverage area; volunteers of all ages will be supporting programs and services aimed at making what can be a difficult season for many of us for whatever reason a bit more bearable.

It might still be several weeks away, but the imminent return of Santa Claus parades reminds us that Christmas is just around the corner. So when the volunteers from Spirit of Giving or some other community project come a knockin’, those of us who can afford to do it should consider contributing something in order to meet the growing needs of many of our neighbours who are struggling throughout the year. The holiday season can be especially challenging and stressful, which is why the programs that focus on Christmas and the concept of giving to others deserve, at the very least, our consideration.

Fall memories made with a few pennies and marshmallows

Had I not gone to Briscoe’s General Store that day with Mother...a Saturday it was...we would not have had that wonderful Fall evening out on the farm in Northcote.

It all started when Mother was just about finished with gathering up the few things she needed and asking Mr. Briscoe to just put them on her bill. I had three of those very large brown pennies in my pocket, and I was looking over the choices in the candy counter. But when I heard Mother ask Mr. Briscoe to add her purchases to her bill, I was overcome with a feeling of deep sadness. And so I reached into my pocket and took out the coins and handed them to Mr. Briscoe and asked him to please take them off Mother’s bill.

He looked at the coins in his hand, and looked at Mother, who I thought

was about to break into tears. “I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” he said. “I’ll take three cents off you mother’s bill, and in exchange I’ll give you this bag of marshmallows.”

We had never had marshmallows on the farm. After all, they would be considered sheer luxury!

I looked at Mother for approval, and she nodded. I ran to the buggy as fast as my legs could carry me, and had to 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

talk myself out of diving into the brown paper bag to eat a few on my way back to the farm.

It was a beautiful Fall day, and when we pulled into the yard, and Everett came to unhitch Queenie off the buggy, Mother and I had to wade through the mounds of leaves fallen off the big maple tree to get to the back door. It was then Mother said she had this wonderful idea, and it would be something the whole family could enjoy, and she grabbed the bag of marshmallows out of my hand and plunked it on top of the ice box.

“We’ll all rake leaves today, and tonight, we’ll have a bonfire and we’ll roast the marshmallows.” Well, sharing my treat with everyone else certainly wasn’t in my plans, but the thought of a bonfire thrilled me no end!

And so for the entire afternoon, using every rake we could find, including two Father used to rake out the manure in the barns, we five children and Mother, and even Father, mounded the fallen leaves into a crimson mountain, well away from the house. Father made sure it was close to the watering trough too...“Just in case,” he said.

Evening chores, supper, and redding up the kitchen, were all done in jig time, and blocks of wood taken out of the summer kitchen were put around the heaped leaves. The sky was black.

Night had closed in around us, and the nip of Fall was in the air. Father had found long pieces of twigs, and with his jackknife, put points on each end.

It was like Christmas Eve to me, sitting on a block of wood, with a quilt wrapped around my legs, and Mother

said since I was given the marshmallows, I should be the one to hold the bag. Father circled the pile, and every few feet he lit a match and touched the leaves with its flame. Soon, the fire had caught, and the mound became a mass of burning leaves. My sister Audrey, Mother and I had skewered a marshmallow onto our sticks, but my three brothers chose to use the three-pronged forks they used to catch mudpout in the Bonnecherre.

I could see everyone’s face in the light of the fire, and I was overcome with such a feeling of happiness that I thought I just might explode. The marshmallows turned black on the outside, and the insides were just as I expected them to be: scorching hot and sweet like honey.

It’s been in Prescott for more than 100 years, and it will continue to be, but the Independent Order of Odd Fellows has moved out of its long-time Henry Street West home.

Friendship Hall, located across from the Prescott Curling Club, has housed the IOOF and its women’s auxiliary, the Rebekahs, since its construction, by

members of the group, in 1957, but the rising costs of upkeep forced the local IOOF to look elsewhere for accommodation.

“We didn’t like the idea, but we had to be realistic,” says Edith Van Dusen, who has been a member of the Rebekahs since 1954.

In recent years, the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs held regular community roast

In addition, under the “Youth Education” icon, you may find information on the Poster Contest (Colour or Black & White) and Literary Contest (Essays and Poems) that are conducted annually in schools across Canada in the Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Primary categories. The winners of the national competition in the Senior categories (Grades 10, 11, 12) come to Ottawa for

the National Remembrance Day Ceremony and place a wreath on behalf of the youth of Canada.

But it all begins with our most important resource – our Legion members and their branches in your local area. Please contact them during this National Poppy Campaign.

MARY From page 8

Long after the brown paper bag was empty, we sat around the fire. The boys stretched out on the grass with their feet towards the burning leaves. Father with his back against the water trough, had lit his pipe, and I could see the red from its bowl, and a wisp of smoke from the tobacco he had tamped into it.

We sat long after the fire had died down to just smoldering ashes. But no one moved to go into the house. The brothers talked about things boys talked about back then, and Audrey and Mother sang familiar songs.

beef dinners, all prepared and served by members, to help keep the doors of Friendship Hall open, and though the dinners were always well-attended and warmly-received, they weren’t sustainable and won’t be continued in the new location. “It was just getting to be too much,” says Van Dusen.

In September, Friendship Hall was sold to a local businessman, and shortly thereafter, the IOOF and Rebekahs held their first meeting in their new location – the Masonic Temple, just north of Prescott on County Road 18.

“We’re quite happy in our new place,” says Van Dusen.

“We’re settling in very well.”

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a non-profit, fraternal organization that maintains as its motto and mission – Friendship, Love and Truth – and has done so since its founding in both the United States and Canada in 1819. The Prescott chapter started up in the late 19th century and has been going strong ever since. The membership in Prescott remains healthy, with 15-20 active members coming out to the twice-monthly meetings of both the IOOF and the Rebekahs, and quite a few less-active members in addition.

New members are, of course, most welcome. They are what have kept the IOOF and Rebekahs going for more than a century in the Fort Town and what will keep the organization going for years to come despite their relocation.

“We would be glad to have anyone who wishes to join get in touch with us,” says Van Dusen.

The chapter’s long and storied history in the community is chronicled by many photographs and artifacts that were once housed in the Friendship Hall, but when the group moved out, a new home had to be found for this treasure trove of material. Some of it is now on display in Town Hall, some at the Prescott Public Library and some, including the group’s original altar and Bible, at the Forwarders’ Museum.

For nearly 60 years, though, Friendship Hall was home to all things Odd Fellow, and members are grateful to the public for helping keep the hall open for so long by supporting the organization and its efforts.

I rested my head on my sister’s shoulder, and she put an arm around me, as she so often did. I looked up at the dark sky, and saw the warm glow of the coal oil lamp in the window in the kitchen, and the warmest feeling came over me.

And I marveled at what simple joy and contentment you could get, out of only three big pennies.

Youngsters decorate pumpkins at hospital

Students from St. Francis Xavier School joined patients, their loved ones and volunteers at a pumpkin-decorating party at the Garden Street Site of Brockville General Hospital (BGH) last Monday. Patients were “buddied up” with the youngsters to make some fabulous creations at the Halloween party. BGH thanked the ghouls and goblins from St. Francis Xavier for helping to brighten the day.

The silent auction in support of the United Way of Leeds & Grenville is set for this Friday and Saturday at the 1000 Islands Mall in Brockville.

Dozens of items are up for bids at the 22nd annual fundraiser that ends at 5 p.m. on Saturday. Items are listed online at www.uwleedsgrenville.org. Some items are part of an online auction.

Local high school students can also support the United Way while having a great time. The annual Starlight Film Festival will take place at Galaxy Cinemas in Brockville late Saturday night and early Sunday morning (Nov. 14-15).

Movies to be shown starting at midnight and continuing until 7 a.m. include Spy, Pitch Perfect 2, Focus, the Wedding Ringer and Furious 7.

The five movies selected for Starlight “…are popular among the youth demographic and appropriate based on Ontario film ratings,” according to a United Way release.

Tickets ($20 each) to the supervised all-night film event include unlimited pop and popcorn as well as arcade games. Tickets must be signed by a parent or guardian prior to entering the festival.

The tickets are being sold at local high schools as well as at Galaxy and the United Way office on George Street in downtown Brockville. For more information about the film festival, call 613-342-8889.

The United Way of Leeds & Grenville is in the middle of its 2015 campaign. The non-profit organization provides funding to more than two dozen member agencies in the United Counties area.

No Refresh on Nov. 14

An event planned for Brockville next weekend has been cancelled.

“Refresh Your Passion” featuring former CJOH/CTV Ottawa broadcaster Kathie Donovan and several speakers was to have taken place at Brockville Collegiate Institute on Nov. 14. The postponement was “due to circumstances beyond our control,” a news release stated. “Many thanks to everyone who made us feel so welcome; we appreciate your support.”

Arrangements will be made to refund money to those who had purchased tickets, according to a post on the Leeds & Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre Facebook page.

New group wants to help younger people pursue their interests in the arts dent and wanted to be involved in film making, so that’s the kind of thing that we want hear about. There was someone else that writes and records his own music, so could we help facilitate that. We just wanted to make sure that there was a need for it.”

This Youth Opportunities in the Arts group is comprised of Pat Markovich, Christopher Coyea, Alex Fleuriau Chateau, Lance Besharah, Judy Quick, Harold Hess, Bob Shackles, Brenda Donovan and Cathy TeKamp, who is currently applying to be recognized as a not-forprofit, as well as charitable status.

According to Coyea, he feels that these people – himself included – went to school in the golden age when the curriculum included the arts.

“We are supplementing what is provided now and we are hoping this group will be a real hub that directs youth to the different organizations in the city,” said Coyea.

Coyea wants to make it clear that this organization is not stepping on other groups’ toes, as they just want to provide the youth with this opportunity.

“We feel that the Youth Opportunities in the Arts board is well-enough connected and represents a lot of the disciplines that if the Operatic Society, the Brockville Community Guild, the choirs or the Brockville Concert Band need some young people, then we can help,”

An Ontario Provincial Police constable at the Leeds County detachment faces several criminal charges.

George Duke was arrested on Saturday as part of an investigation by the OPP professional standards bureau. The 52-yearold Brockville man is a 20-year member of the provincial police service The constable has been charged with theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, breach of trust, unlawful possession of a restricted firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, unsafe storage of ammunition, possession of a firearm without a licence and possession of a Schedule II substance.

The accused was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to appear in Brockville court on Dec. 11. He has been suspended with pay, according to an OPP release issued Saturday night.

None of the charges have been proven in court.

Duke is a former member of the Grenville OPP detachment. He was demoted for one year in 2005 after pleading guilty to a Police Services Act charge of discreditable conduct. The charge stemmed from an incident involving another constable and a cadet at the former OPP station on Edward Street in Prescott in November 2003. No criminal charge was laid.

said Coyea.

Although the group was concerned about finding a facility to meet at and offer mentoring, St. John United Church graciously offered its space.

“There will be start-up costs, and if there’s any member of the public that want to contribute financially, it’s appreciated,” mentioned Coyea. “It’s not huge, but we need to register the organization as a not-for-profit.”

one of the projects we are looking at because there’s a lot of excitement in the youth community to do a musical.”

Also, if anyone wants to offer their expertise, time or musical instruments, please contact Pat Markovich at patmarkovich1@gmail.com, or any of the board members.

As well, Brockville and area youth are invited to come forward if they are interested in learning an art.

Unfortunately, Brockville Collegiate Institute and Thousand Islands Secondary School will not be providing music in these schools.

“There are no musicals happening in the schools this year,” indicated Coyea.

“One thing we have discovered in our research is that being involved in musical theatre and what it can do for young people, whether it is performing, costumes, lighting or backstage, is huge. So this is

A local group of artistic individuals has formed to assist and mentor the youth in the Brockville area in many art forms, be it playing a musical instrument, painting, singing, writing – whatever a young person would like to learn or continue learning.

“This group is called Youth Opportunities in the Arts, and it is going to be a new youth-focused art group and our intentions are quite simple,” said musical tenor and teacher Chris Coyea. “Pat Markovich is our chair, and it was really her brainchild. It was her that wanted to do this. Her mom was Nora Johnston, the organist at St. John’s United Church for many, many years and played for the Brockville Operatic Society. We want to provide young artists, those with an interest in the arts, aged 13 to 30 years old, the offer of coaching, mentoring, as well as a space where they can gather to pursue their particular discipline. It will not just be in the performing arts, it will also be in literature and fine arts.”

Coyea mentioned that a recent meeting on Sunday, Oct. 25 was to obtain the public’s input as to whether there was a need for this type of art organization.

“There was such amazing feedback from the public and youth,” said Coyea.

“We were thrilled to see the youth. There was one chap who was a high school stu-

Honour Canada’s veterans: MP Gord Brown is encouraging everyone to take part in a Remembrance Day service on or before Nov. 11.

“Remembrance Day has a special meaning for all of us. It gives us an opportunity to come together as citizens of our great country and reflect upon, and honour, the sacrifices made by so many so that we can live in freedom,” stated Brown, the Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP-elect.

“Our brave men and women in uniform are ready, willing, and able to

stand up for our country anytime and anywhere, at home and abroad,” he added.

“This one day each year is set aside to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our belief in freedom, democracy, and justice. I encourage everyone to join with Royal Canadian Legion members throughout the riding who will be organizing ceremonies and services to honour those veterans.”

After a five-year hiatus, author, blogger, Seaway historian and mystery maven Maggie Wheeler is picking up the pen again and writing another spine-tingling planting of the bodies in the Lost Villages.

The Friends of the Brockville Public Library are looking forward to having Wheeler present on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m., upstairs at the library on Buell Street.

Wheeler is the writer of the popular Farran Mackenzie “Lost Villages”

mystery novels with historical facts and fiction set in the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project.

The titles of Wheeler’s books include A Violent End, The Brother of Sleep, All Mortall Things and On a Darkling Plain.

Copies of these novels will be on hand for purchase.

This event is free to the public, and the group encourages audience members to bring previously purchased books for signing. As well, Wheeler has a wealth of information about the Seaway.

Prescott library friends to host evening with Winston Churchill on Nov. 24

Photo by TIM RUHNKE

Prescott Public Library CEO Jane McGuire accepts a contribution of $1,550 from Alleyn Abel of the Friends of the Library group. The presentation was made at the town council meeting on Monday, Oct. 26.

The friends group’s upcoming event about Winston Churchill will take place at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Prescott on Nov. 24. As is the case with events staged by the library supporters, there is no admission fee; donations will be accepted.

More than 60 years after he marshalled the world against evil’s march across continental Europe, Winston Churchill remains a towering figure in modern history, though one who is remembered not only for his monumental efforts in the service of freedom but also for a prodigious intellect and outsized personality that made the British prime minister one of the most fascinating of history’s many great characters.

Later this month, the Friends of the Prescott Library will be hosting “An Evening With Churchill,” featuring a presentation by a special guest speaker who once met the man himself. It was a fleeting introduction, but it was enough to confirm to Duncan Edmonds that the man who stood before him, by then, in the late ‘50s, hobbled with age but no less commanding, was indeed a figure of historical proportions.

It wouldn’t be the last time Edmonds would rub shoulders with the prominent and powerful. In fact, he made a career of it. Before serving as chair of Canadian Studies at Yale University, Edmonds distinguished himself in public service, first under Lester B. Pearson, then as policy advisor to Finance Minister Paul

Martin Sr., after that as special assistant to Joe Clark and finally as senior policy advisor to Minister of Defence Robert Coates in the Mulroney government.

“He is a fascinating individual,” says Peter Green, chair of the Friends of the Prescott Library. “His background is quite remarkable.”

On Tuesday, Nov. 24, Edmonds will speak in detail as to the exact circumstances of his meeting with Churchill and will talk not just of his own personal impressions of the man but also about why Churchill quite justifiably retains his vaunted place in the annals of 20th-century history and in the public’s imagination.

There is never a charge for admission to any event held by the Friends of Prescott Library, and such is the case again with An Evening with Churchill, but the Friends welcome free-will donations, all of which will go to benefit the Prescott Public Library.

The Friends recently presented librarian Jane McGuire with a cheque in the amount of $1,550, which was made possible by donations made over the last year or so from those who attended the Friends’ various events and presentations. The money will be put towards

COMPETITIVE PRICES:

children’s programs, the purchase of audio books and some special shelving units, and already McGuire is lining up priorities for the next 12 months. “She’ll be talking to us about the library’s needs for next year so that we can have targets for fundraising,” says Green.

In addition to the Churchill talk, the Friends’ next big event will be Fun With Santa on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 2 p.m., but plans are already well under way for next year’s line-up, and an impressive line-up of speakers it will be.

After a break in the months of January and February, the Friends will team up with the Friends of Spencerville Library in March to bring in Giller Prize-winning novelist Elizabeth Hay. In April, the group is lining up a talk about the fascinating history of the Galop Canal, and then in May, local mystery author Maggie Wheeler, whose first novel, A Violent End, is going into its fifth printing, will give a talk about her upcoming fifth book.

There is no need to wait until spring, though, for An Evening with Churchill.

Edmonds’ presentation will begin at 7 p.m., and it takes place at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Dibble and Centre streets.

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.

Let us honour and remember all those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

A second land transfer tax would increase burden on buyers Some major markets suffering from The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) is encouraging Ontarians to visit www.donttaxmydream.ca to learn more about the negative impact of a proposed tax and trying to stop it from spreading province-wide.

The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has indicated it is going to make buying a home even harder by giving every municipality province-wide the power to charge a Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT), a change that will double the land transfer taxes consumers have to pay on their next home. “Ontario homebuyers are already charged a provincial land transfer tax, so by adding a municipal tax, they’re essentially doubling the tax burden on Ontario families,” Patricia Verge, president of OREA, stated in a release.

“If the Ontario Liberals follow through with this plan, homebuyers will be forced to pay $10,000 in total land trans-

fer taxes on the average priced home in Ontario, starting as early as next year.”

The provincial government is currently undertaking a public consultation on changes to the Municipal Act. Despite the fact that the period for public comment was still open until Oct. 31, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has indicated it will move ahead with granting municipalities across the province the ability to impose a municipal land transfer tax, disregarding views expressed by Ontarians during this important public process.

“The Ontario Liberals wrote to us in May 2014, during the election, stating that ‘they had no plans to extend these powers to municipalities’. On behalf of home buyers, we want them to remain good on this election promise and that means Ontarians need to send a strong message that the government must rethink its plan to double the land transfer

tax burden on homebuyers,” Verge said.

In 2008, the City of Toronto put an MLTT in place after the Ontario government extended the powers to do so two years prior. The result has been significant negative impacts on jobs and the economy. Over five years, it is estimated that 38,227 housing transactions did not occur in Toronto because of the MLTT. With every home transaction generating $55,000 in consumer spending on things like renovations, furniture, appliances, and fees to professionals, the MLTT has cost the City of Toronto $2.3 billion in lost economic activity and 15,000 jobs.

This type of effect would be multiplied across Ontario if the government moves ahead with its plans, according to the association.

“If the municipal land transfer tax were to spread to Brockville and charged at a similar rate as Toronto, homebuyers would be forced to pay an additional $3,930 on the average-priced home,” stated Sharon Clarke, president of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Real Estate Board.

“It would double what they already pay in land transfer tax. Our buyers are already stretched. They can’t take another tax burden like the municipal land transfer tax.”

A new Ipsos Reid poll shows that the overwhelming majority of Ontarians (89 per cent) outside of Toronto oppose a new MLTT charged on home purchases in their area, according to the association.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) released last Thursday its Housing Market Assessment (HMA) report formerly known as the House Price Analysis and Assessment (HPAA) that evaluates the extent to which there is evidence of problematic housing market conditions in 15 census metropolitan areas (CMAs).

The HMA points to strong overall evidence of problematic conditions in Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina. In Toronto, strong evidence of problematic conditions reflects a combination of price acceleration and overvaluation. Strong evidence of problematic conditions in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Regina reflects detection of overvaluation and overbuilding.

“The most prevalent issue detected in 11 of the 15 centres covered by the HMA is overvaluation. The evidence of overvaluation has increased since the previous assessment in Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal, Edmonton, and Saskatoon as price levels are not fully supported by economic and demographic factors,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “Problematic overvaluation conditions in local housing markets could be resolved by moderation in house prices and/or improving economic conditions,” added Dugan.

The HMA points to moderate evidence of problematic market conditions in Montréal and Ottawa due to overvaluation and rising concerns of overbuilding, particularly of condominium apartments. There also continues to be moderate evidence of problematic conditions in the Québec CMA due to overvaluation.

In Toronto, Montréal and Ottawa, we are monitoring for the potential emergence of overbuilding. Condo-

minium units under construction are elevated. Inventory management is therefore necessary to make sure that these condominium units under construction do not remain unsold upon completion.

The HMA points to weak evidence of overall problematic conditions in Vancouver, though we are now detecting moderate evidence of overvaluation. However, overheating, acceleration in house prices and overbuilding are not a concern in this market.

The results released today include those for the national market as well as 15 Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) – Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec, Moncton, St. John’s and Halifax.

The HMA analytical framework is designed to assess housing market conditions by taking into consideration the economic, financial and demographic drivers of housing markets. The use of multiple indicators of housing conditions, which incorporate various data sources and price measures, provides a robust picture of overall housing market conditions.

Additional information explaining the results for the 15 CMAs is available in the attached backgrounder. The full text of the October 2015 HMA report is available at http://www.cmhc. ca/HMA. The next Housing Market Assessment report is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2016.

As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC continually works to increase the amount of available data and analysis on the housing market.

Cuckooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest to be staged by Brockville guild Nov. 19-21

Ever wonder if living in a mental institution would be better than living in prison? Randle Patrick McMurphy is convinced it would be a much easier life and finagles himself a transfer from a prison farm to a mental institution in the Brockville Theatre Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcomOGDENSBURG ing production of One Flew Over the Cuckooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest.

The play, which was written by Dale Wasserman and based on the novel by Ken Kesey, is locally produced by Sherry Leeder and directed by Todd Noel.

IN CANTON â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody had brought it up (the Serving Great Food... Great Prices!

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

Randle McMurphy, played by Paul Duchesne, and Nurse Ratched, played by Trish Duchesne, have yet another stand-off in the Brockville Theatre Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of One Flew Over The Cuckooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest.

315-393-3545 315-714-2472

With 17 parts cast, set design by Noel and Guy Wales, set construction by Bill Gonidis, costumes by Mary Hill and costume seamstress Trish Duchene, it appeared the stage was set, so to speak.

There was a brief dilemma about facial hair for the main character Patrick, played by Paul Duchesne, whose character is rather rough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to rough him up a little bit so we decided to do that by putting mutt chops on him,â&#x20AC;? explained Noel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a friend in New York, in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Phantomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, I called him up and asked the wig department if they would donate some side burns for us and they did, so we got some brand new ones! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of nice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some Broadway on stage with us! He will be pretty rough looking.â&#x20AC;?

In the play the main character, Randle Patrick McMurphy is in prison for another five months and is tired of having to do all the chores that the prisoners have to do so he finds a way that he thinks will get him a free ride; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a mental discharge. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out so well for him. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what he thought and then he is caught amidst a struggle between Nurse Ratched and himself. She basically strives to keep society numb and McMurphy is trying to get them to come back to life, to live again.

Other main characters include Nurse Ratched played by Trish Duchesne, Harding, played by Peter Lynch and Billy played by Jon Keeler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The characters have a lot of levels to them. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is a man who is dealing with being gay,â&#x20AC;? explained Noel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s married and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to deal with doing the married thing but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a hard time dealing with that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started practicing the week after Labour Day,â&#x20AC;? explained Lynch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three nights a week, which will soon turn into four nights a week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a play with many levels. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the usual superficial com-

PARK IT! edy that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a departure from the last couple of years.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play is all adult content,â&#x20AC;? Lynch noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children should not come see it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comedy primarily, but not for children.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have seen the movie, you will definitely recognize the play,â&#x20AC;? said Noel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though, the play is much more like the book than the movie.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are dynamic characters,â&#x20AC;? explained Duchesne, who plays McMurphy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real-life flesh and blood type of characters with a lot of energy and I think the audience will enjoy that, feed off of that. There is a contrast between his character McMurphy and the nurse

who is all about control, power. A shining exterior on the outside. But throws daggers on the inside.â&#x20AC;?

With only four women in the production, Trish Duchesne is having a bit of fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am having fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge to try to get into the character; to try and be in that controlling, negative mode all the time is a challenge.â&#x20AC;?

Cost of eating healthy rises 20 per cent in five years

Findings released by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit’s 2015 Nutritious Food Basket Survey on Monday show the cost of feeding a family of four (two parents with two children) is $845 per month. This is a 20-per-cent increase from 2010.

For many families in the area, this increase may mean having to choose between paying bills and buying food, a health unit release stated. Since there are consequences to not paying other bills, food is often what is sacrificed. When individuals and families are unable to access enough healthy food to eat in a way that makes them feel good about themselves, it is called “food insecurity” or “hunger”.

The root cause of hunger is a lack of money or income to meet basic needs. It affects how much and what kind of food a person eats and may stop someone Photo by TIM RUHNKE

Prescott receives top rating from Communities in Bloom

Prescott Mayor Brett Todd (left) and departing Communities in Bloom chair Mike Laking proudly display the two awards won by the town as part of its 2015 entry in the Ontario civic pride program. The presentation was made during the town council meeting on Monday, Oct. 26. Prescott received a top rating of five blooms as well as a special mention for community involvement. The town’s entry garnered a total score of 83.3 per cent, according to Laking. The five-blooms rating starts at 82 per cent. Prescott scored very well in categories such as tidiness, heritage conservation and floral display. The mayor noted that Prescott pride appears to be growing every year. “People are realizing this is their home,” said Todd, who acknowledged the volunteers for their beautification efforts.

Learning about the women in Sir John A. Macdonald’s life

By JAN MURRAY

The 1000 Islands River Heritage Society was proud to have the opportunity to present the first of a series of talks known as “Mallorytown Talks” at the Mallorytown Community Centre on Sunday, Oct. 18. Guest speakers for the first in the series were Brian and Renee Porter speaking on the “The Female Factor: The women in the life of Sir John A. Macdonald.”

Decked out in their finest 1880s attire, the Porters brilliantly explained the domestic side of the life of Sir John A. Macdonald. Porter began with a brief outline of Sir John A’s political beginnings, laying the foundation for all to appreciate and understand the trials and tribulations of a great man that many may not truly understand.

“Sir John had a long parliamentary career, 47 years (1844-91). He played a crucial role in creating and consolidating this nation, so the life and times of Sir John Alexander Macdonald needs to be better known if you are going to understand the formation of this country.”

Sir John A. Macdonald was a rather practical pragmatic politician. “He was a well-read man of common sense and wisdom and he was able to steer through a minefield of racial, linguistic, religious misunderstanding and bigotry and help build this new northern nation,” described Porter.

“We began with only three-and-a-half million people, four provinces, next door to a rather assertive neighbour of 36 million and that 10-to-1 ratio population is still there today. So you have these fathers of confederation meeting in Quebec City in the fall of 1864, and they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.”

After confederation on July 1, 1867, Porter described Macdonald’s government as moving quickly to purchase the NWT and in 1873 they organized a group of 300 men, whom they sent out west ‘to bring law and order to the land.’ This was followed by the opening of the Pacific Railway in November of 1885.

“John A. Macdonald was just the leader we needed. He had the qualities of character, person-

Macdonald and the women in his life. ality, people skills, political skills, that made him the right man, in the right place at the right time for Canada as was Washington in the USA, Churchill in Britain or Mandela in South Africa,” explained Porter. “He was a highly skilled politician. A selfmade man of high intelligence, determination, perseverance. He was a man of great charisma and charm. He loved jokes, he laughed easily and often. A precarious fellow who enjoyed being with

people. He had a quick wit, did not take himself too seriously and he approached life with a generosity of spirit. So amidst this life of heavy political responsibilities, John A. also faced heavy domestic responsibilities on the home front.”

In those days, widowed and unmarried women had very few options to earn a living. Porter told of how Sir John A. was responsible not only for his mother, but also for his two sisters, two wives, two widow friends, his own handicapped daughter Mary and a granddaughter Daisy.

“He supported his widowed mother for 21 years until her death in 1862, his sister Margaret until she married at the age of 39 and his other sister Louisa all her life.”

His first wife Isabella just so happened to be his half first cousin. She is the daughter of Captain Alexander Clark and his mother Helen’s step-sister Margaret Shaw and was an invalid for 13 years of their 14-year marriage. “Her illness led to great anxiety and brought in heavy medical expenses for doctors’ visits and medications. The sudden death of their infant son John in 1848 brought a lot of grief to the family. His second son Hugh John was only 7 when his mother died in 1857.”

But alas, Macdonald’s personal woes did not end there. He remained a widower for 10 years.

This was a very lonely time for Macdonald and he spent much of his time binge drinking. Forced to be away from home so much, his young son Hugh was raised mostly by his sister Margaret.

He remarried in 1867. In 1869 his second wife, Agnes gave birth to a daughter, Mary, who was severely handicapped. This brought even more worry and medical expense into his already complicated life. Add to this that his mother-in-law moved in with he and Agnes and remained with them for another eight years. “Often overworked and under much stress from financial family worries and family health problems, he faced enormous pressures, personal tragedies and much sadness and loneliness, but he shoulders his responsibility driven by ambition and a clear vision of his new nation coming into being. He was seldom coarse, he laughed at himself as much as he did at his opponents, and because women know men better than they know themselves, and more than men ever suspect, there was among women a passion, devotion to John such that no other political leader in Canada has inspired.“ See WOMEN page 29

ENERGY TIP!

John A. had an older sister Margaret whom he affectionately called ‘Moll’. He was responsible for her well-being until she married at the age of 39 to Rev. Dr. Professor James Williamson, who had been previously married and had an estranged son in Scotland. They ended up spending much of their time caring for her mother, John’s first wife Isabella, and her second son Hugh. When Margaret died in 1876, the professor then went on and shared the house with Louisa (the other sister) until her death in 1888.

“Louisa was a stubborn, independent woman. Described as tall, dark hair and homely with coarse features. She had a stern, inflexible personality, a mind of her own and irritable moods with periods of melancholy. But she was a practical-minded industrial woman.”

Porter continued. “She was once complimented on her wit. She was assured that she was the very image of her very famous brother. To which she replied, ‘well, what a curious remark. Everybody knows that John is the ugliest man in Canada’. John supported her all her life and she maintained his place of residence.”

Porter admitted that the family tree gets very complicated in places, chuckling that even he sometimes has difficulty following its many twists and turns.

John A.’s second wife, Agnes was 21 years younger than he. She had been 18 when they first met casually. After the death of her father in 1850, she and her mother Theodora returned to live in England, returning to Barrie in 1854.

During the London conference of 1866, she and John met again. Porter explains that there is a gap here, where it is unknown what occurred, yet in February of 1867, the two were married and had one daughter, Mary.

Porter believed Agnes to be a more suitable wife. “She was better educated than Isabella. She painted, liked to read, liked to follow politics. She had a spirit of adven-

ture.”

Renee read excerpts from the diary of Lady Agnes Macdonald and from an article that Lady Agnes had written about riding on the train cowcatcher through the Rocky Mountains.

Sir John A. Macdonald led a very complicated life, both politically and personally. Yet despite the enormous pressures that he faced on the homefront, he played a critical role in the formation and consolidation of the Dominion of Canada.

ONTARIO JUNIOR CITIZEN AWARDS Sponsored by:

Distracted driving: the reality of hands-free and voice command The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety recently released a report on distracted driving and it’s an eye-popper. The study involved 257 drivers and 10 popular 2015 model-year vehicles (Chev Equinox, Buick Lacrosse, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Taurus, Chev Malibu, VW Passat, Nissan Altima, Chrysler 200C, Hyundai Sonata, and Mazda 6).

Each participant was given one specific vehicle to take home for five days to practice with the In-Vehicle Information System (IVIS); the hands-free communication and HVAC and audio systems controls. At the end of the practice session, each driver returned the vehicle and completed a pre-set driving course and IVIS tasks accompanied by a videographer.

Additional sensors and video cams were also installed for the test drive to quantify how much of a distraction the various IVIS systems provided to the task of driving. The tasks were rated by cognitive workload (how much mental effort was required to complete a certain job) and graphed on a scale of 2.37 to 4.57 (how quickly and easy or time-consuming and difficult). Category 1 tasks provided little distractions and category 5 represented the max. The AAA Foundation considers any distraction over 2.4 to be too much while driving.

The study revealed that the most difficult tasks and IVIS systems distracted drivers for up to 27 seconds after the task was completed. This included such things as making or receiving a handsfree call, or adjusting the audio system with voice commands, or sending or receiving a text message via audio links and voice commands.

Even the easiest and most intuitive systems came in with a distraction rating of 2.4 and kept drivers’ minds off the road for up to 15 seconds after the task was completed. To put that into perspective, at a very low 25 mph speed a driver would travel the length of three football fields in traffic while being

distracted for 27 seconds. A wide demographic range was used in selecting test subjects and older adults had more difficulty with the technology than their younger counterparts.

Automakers have consistently touted hands-free and voice-command systems as the answer to driving distractions caused by interactive technology, and this AAA Foundation study firmly throws those notions under the bus.

“Drivers should use caution while using voice-activated systems, even at seemingly safe moments when there is a lull in traffic or the car is stopped at an intersection,” said Marshall Doney, AAA’s president and CEO. “The reality is that mental distractions persist and can affect driver attention even after the light turns green.”

My own test for driving distractions was to try to remember any detail of traffic or surroundings I’d passed through while on a hands-free call, after completing such a call. Try it yourself and you’ll know why I don’t answer the phone when I’m driving.

“Hi Brian, I read your recent advice article regarding winter tires and found it very informative.

I have a 2015 Camry XLE which comes with all seasons, sized P15/55/ R17 and I’m shopping for winter tires.

I have been advised, as you indicated in your piece, to go to a smaller tire for winters for the reasons you mention.

In my case the recommended size is P205/65/16. I am leaning to Michelin X ICE xi3.

Your article didn’t touch on speed rating and load index. My all seasons have a speed rating of ‘V’ and the winters are rated at ‘T’. Is that something I should be concerned about? The load index is about the same for the two tires (93 vs. 99). Secondly, will gas mileage suffer with the smaller winter tire vs. the wider all seasons?”

You are invited to attend a TransCanada Open House for the proposed Eastern Mainline Project.

TransCanada is proposing to construct a new natural gas transmission pipeline in Ontario between the City of Markham and the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. The proposed pipeline will be constructed in four sections and will be 36 inches in diameter primarily following the existing route where TransCanada currently operates two natural gas pipelines.

TransCanada recently announced that new commitments with natural gas shippers have resulted in additional pipeline requirements in the City of Quinte West and the Townships of Elizabethtown-Kitley, Augusta and Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. Open Houses in Oshawa and Clarington will provide opportunities to share project updates including routing, environmental and engineering studies, and ongoing engagement.

TransCanada continues to engage with First Nation and Métis communities and organizations, municipalities, area residents, community organizations and interested parties throughout the development of this proposed project.

TransCanada experts will be present to answer questions.

The Island City Blackhawks started their 2015/16 season cramming eight games into 22 days. They just had a twoweek break and are now ready to get back to work on the ice.

The Blackhawks are sporting a 5-2-1 record after those first eight games; they return to action Saturday night at the ‘Barn on Broadway.’ The team is coming off an emotional 7-2 win over the Morrisburg Flamingos in Morrisburg a couple of weeks ago, and they hope to continue from where they left off.

Blackhawk management is very happy with the team’s start. “Oh, yeah, we are definitely happy with our start to the season. Early on, we have had some feel good story lines from a couple of our veterans,” management said to reporters at the team’s practice facility.

Team Captain J R “Buckleys” Ryan is back after he missed all of last season as he had major shoulder surgery before last sea-

son started. Ryan has five goals through the first eight games.

Another grizzled veteran who missed the first half of last season due to knee surgery is Jeff “Youngblood” June. He is back to his old tricks, driving opposing defencemen and goalies crazy with his tenacious work along the boards and out in front of their net. June has two goals already this season.

The team’s stud defenceman, Jon “Dr. Smooth” Cross, is still fighting a nagging lower body injury, an injury that just requires rest The Blackhawks have a few players who were dealing with

their fair share of health issues over the past few seasons. There are even a few right now playing through their aches and pains.

That’s the trials and tribulations you go through when you have an older hockey team.

“We are an older team here for sure, and we have a lot guys playing every night with some kind of pain. That just goes to show you the passion this group has about playing this great game. It’s nice to finally have our lines back in place as well,” management continued.

Rookie goaltender Tyler “Tiny” Dunnington has also been a pleasant surprise with his strong play in goal for the Blackhawks. Dunnington gets the assignment for this Saturday night’s tilt versus the Kemptville Classics.

After Saturday night’s game, the Blackhawks head south of the border to Ogdensburg Monday night when they tangle with the Ogdensburg Molson Maples.

Arts centre is much more than concerts and musicals, city council hears and musicals,” he remarked. Dunn also indicated that the arts centre is very strong when it comes to local user groups and youth engagement. The stage itself is used on about half of the days each year.

When all the other user groups are taken into account, the facility is “empty” less than 50 days a year.

As for big-name talent that performs on the Brockville stage, Dunn offered a lengthy list of top acts and promoters that make use of the venue and who really like the facility. “We work very hard to get these people here,” the administrator stated.

Dunn thanked council and city officials for being “incredibly supportive.” He commented that the arts centre is wellrespected and punches out of its weight class.

By TIM RUHNKE truhnke@metroland.com

It had been awhile.

Brockville council returned to the building that housed the municipal offices for a portion of the latter half of the 19th century. Council held its Tuesday, Oct. 27 meeting on the stage of the Brockville Arts Centre.

“It’s an incredible facility,” said Mayor David Henderson, who added that he is proud every time he goes through the doors of the arts centre.

The city-owned building dates back to the late 1850s, and its function as a theatre began in the 1880s. It was renamed Brockville Arts Centre in 1990.

In a presentation to council, Administrator Peter Dunn referred to “this grand old lady” as one of the top three medium-sized venues of its kind in Canada. It still remains the nicest theatre between Toronto and Montreal, he said.

The arts centre boasts the lowest municipal subsidy in Ontario for theatres of between 700 and 1,000 seats.

Brockville’s subsidy was $185,000 in 2015, which is several times lower than some of the other comparables including the Grand Theatre in Kingston at more than $720,000.

Part of the credit for that goes to the 56 active citizen volunteers who contributed a total of almost 3,900 hours of their time in 2014, which translates into annual savings to the city of more than $50,000. Dunn said the arts centre prides itself on having great staff and volunteers. Support from the business community in the form of cash and inkind sponsorships was also noted by the facility’s administrator. Dunn told

council that Pricedex Software, sponsor In terms of direct and indirect of the summer series, has donated more economic impact, the arts centre generates than $100,000 over 10 years. “That’s the more than $1 million per year. Annual type of support that we’re getting,” he attendance is in the range of 35,000. said.

Dunn also noted that the building

Those we love remain with us, For love itself lives on, Cherished memories never fade, Because a loved one is gone.

So, dear God, take a message to Alan In Heaven above, Tell him how much I miss him, FOR SALE FOR SALE And give him all my love.

You are invited to attend a TransCanada Open House for the proposed Eastern Mainline Project.

TransCanada is proposing to construct a new natural gas transmission pipeline in Ontario between the City of Markham and the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. The proposed pipeline will be constructed in four sections and will be 36 inches in diameter primarily following the existing route where TransCanada currently operates two natural gas pipelines.

TransCanada recently announced that new commitments with natural gas shippers have resulted in additional pipeline requirements in the City of Quinte West and the Townships of Elizabethtown-Kitley, Augusta and Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. Open Houses in Oshawa and Clarington will provide opportunities to share project updates including routing, environmental and engineering studies, and ongoing engagement.

TransCanada continues to engage with First Nation and Métis communities and organizations, municipalities, area residents, community organizations and interested parties throughout the development of this proposed project.

TransCanada experts will be present to answer questions.

Does Justin Trudeau Wear Short or Long Pants?

Congratulations to Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister Elect of Canada. He’s young, handsome, carries a famous name, demonstrated he has an ear for what the public is clamoring for, and now has the most vital weapon of all, power. But will he deny democracy to the majority of Canadians who elected him? Or ignore the will of the Supreme Court of Canada? Soon we will know whether Justin Trudeau wears knickers or long pants.

Trudeau, in his victory speech, Dr. Gifford-Jones fired a salvo when he uttered the words Abraham Lincoln delivered on the eve of the U.S. Civil War. Lincoln worried that leaders needed to appeal to the “better angels of our nature”. But will Trudeau, on the contrary, use devilish political tactics that appeal to a vocal minority, the very thing he allegedly opposes?

In the largest survey of its kind in Canada to determine if Canadians should be granted the constitutional right to assisted death, the result was overwhelming. 80 percent of those who said they were Christians and 83 percent of Catholics believe that doctors should be permitted to help terminally ill patients end their lives.

Equally important, 57 percent of those surveyed said they had watched someone suffer a terrible death. Of this group, 85 percent supported assisted dying. And 85 percent of disabled people were in favour of assisted death. A lawyer citing these statistics would convince a jury the case is closed. So would Trudeau’s “better angels of our nature”.

I have a deep, personal interest in this matter, so I hope Justin Trudeau’s angels win the day. Years ago, the Gifford-Jones Foundation donated $500,000 to the University of Toronto Medical School to establish the W. Gifford-Jones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative care. In the interim, more doctors have been trained to relieve suffering. But I and the angels know that there comes a time when even the best of palliative care cannot ease all agony.

In February, 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that assisted death should be an option for those grievously and terminally ill and who wished to end their suffering with the help of a physician.

So what did the Harper government do? The consulting panel for implementation was stacked with members who oppose assisted death. It’s like putting the fox in charge of the hens, an inhumane despicable act for those crying out for help to end their suffering.

Good sense should tell Trudeau that the majority of those who elected him have already given him an overpowering mandate to allow assisted death. And that there is no need to waste millions of dollars of tax payers dollars on more time-consuming surveys while people die in misery.

Hopefully, Trudeau and his good angels will also realize that surveys reveal a highly vocal minority, paid administrators (who don’t want to lose their jobs), who continue to shout to High Heaven that the devil will take over and innocent people will be killed by overzealous physicians. What a lie, when the majority of doctors, to their eternal shame, have declared they oppose assisted death. Their role is to end suffering.

So, will the Prime Minister Elect begin the day by putting on short knickers or long pants? If it’s long pants, he’ll quickly disband Harper’s fox laden committee, and tell his fellow parliamentarians to immediately enact the law allowing assisted death. This would bring Canada into line with the many nations who allow this humanitarian act.

Studies from the United States and other countries that allow assisted death show that relatively few with terminal illness ask for it. But it is comforting to know it’s available.

I have stated repeatedly that those who oppose assisted death have every right to end or prolong their lives in whatever way they wish. A study should be done to see how many cry for help when excruciating pain strikes.

But I have always believed it irrational and inhumane to allow human suffering when none of us would allow a beloved dog to die in agony. It’s high time for Trudeau and his good angels to end this great injustice.
