Events – On Saturday, April 5, the sixth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser for Loaves and Fishes Brockville took place at the Brockville Memorial Civic Centre with line-ups around the perimeter of Memorial Hall. This event took place with signature soups from local restau-rants including Loaves and Fishes. In honour of local potter/artist Jean Marr, a special presentation was made prior to opening the doors to receive the pub-lic. Along with Marr’s 50 plus bowls, 19 other potters handcrafted the remain-der which was well over 350. More than $16,000 was raised and 433 bowls sold. Joy Lee (left) chose two (one-of-a-kind) bowls with help from Elsie VanRooi (right) as she moved with the fl ow of people towards the savoury soup area.

By CONAN de VRIESNews - Sherwood Park Manor

got a bit of a lift last week. The long-term care residence

on the east end of Brockville was the benefi ciary of a gener-ous donation from the Rotary Club of the 1000 Islands and the Rotary Club of Brockville, who committed to donating $100,000 to Sherwood over the next fi ve years for the purchase of new beds.

The new beds are top-of-the-line and adjustable. They can be raised and lowered using an electronic control, which will enable infi rm patients to get into and out of bed more easily and allow nurses more ready access to the recumbent patients. The Rotary’s donation will allow for the purchase of 52 such beds.

“It’s a fun day to celebrate such a generous donation,” said Steve Read, who is both the president of the Rotary Club of the 1000 Islands and chair of the Sherwood Park Manor board.

Sherwood Park Manor, a non-profi t organization that receives no municipal funding, has been dealing with some fi nancial chal-

lenges of late, and this donation certainly helps to keep the 107-bed facility on a fi rm footing.

“This is clearly a really big step towards achieving that goal,” said Read.

Several local Rotarians were on hand last Friday when the do-nation was announced in a meet-ing room at the Manor, and all were pleased to make a contri-bution to a resource they agreed was very important to the city of Brockville.

“There’s going to be more and more need of it,” said Don De-Groot, president-elect of the Ro-tary Club of the 1000 Islands.

Though the big cheque may say Rotary Club on it, it is only because the general public has been so supportive of Rotary over the years that the clubs are in a position to be so magnani-mous.

“We facilitate it, but it’s the community that supports our fundraising that allows us to do this,” said Read.

Sherwood Park Manor will also help its own cause in a

few months when it holds its fi rst-ever fundraising golf tour-nament. The event is scheduled to take place June 20 at the Brockville Country Club.

Better still, Brockville philanthropists Don and Shirley Green, who were unable to attend last Friday’s announce-ment, had heard about the new golf tournament and thought the occasion a good time to make an announcement of their own.

The Don and Shirley Green Foundation will donate $20,000 to the Manor for the purchase of several top-of-the-line bariatric lifts, which are used to hoist patients out of bed and bath and move them around safely and easily.

Public support of this kind is most welcome, as it helps Sherwood Park Manor be proactive in meeting its capital needs, which, at times, can be diffi cult to fi t in the budget, says Alfred O’Rourke, administrator of the facility.

“This is a very caring and a very giving community,” he said.

NEWS

Register now for Brockville Community Wide CleanupBy MARLA [email protected]

News – Those wishing to take part are asked to register sooner rather than later for the annual Brockville Community Wide Cleanup 2014.

“This is defi nitely a Brockville institution,” said Cameron Wales, chair of the community wide cleanup committee.

And while last year’s numbers were slightly down for volunteer count, as the weather was poor – in the past around 2,000 volunteers have participated.

Rain or shine, the annual event will take place Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. to noon. At 12 p.m. a wrap-up thank you barbecue will be held at Hardy Park, organized by the Youth Volunteer Crew.

Wales encourages those who know they are going to get involved, to register, and pick the location they wish to clean, as well as to note whether they need supplies or not. Bags and gloves

are made available for those who are unable to provide their own. Participants are encouraged to bring their own if they can, as well as rakes.

The cleanup covers many areas of the city, providing lots of options for registrants from which to choose.

For those not able to take part on the day of, such as schools or other organizations, they may also register, choose their location and clean, clean, clean. Prior to the day of the cleanup, on April 11, the mayor has once again put forward the ‘Mayor’s 20 Minute Corporate Clean-Up Challenge’. Brockville mayor David Henderson puts his job on hold for 20 minutes and cleans up the green area around City Hall. He challenges other businesses to do the same, and clean the area around their locations.

For complete details, or to register please visit www.BrockvilleCleanUp.ca or call 613-345-0204.

Sign up soon for Big Tent EventBy MARLA [email protected]

News - Vendors are being asked to sign up for the Elizabethtown-Kitley Big Tent Event Business Fair, before April 22.

While registration is a must prior to that date, the fair is set for Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission is free for residents to this fourth event which will feature plenty of items up for sale, a Lions barbecue, a bake sale from the United Church in Lyn, children’s activities and much more.

Last year, 47 vendors took part, rep-resenting a variety of businesses. This year’s event will be slightly different – with the fairly newly opened Elizabeth-town-Kitley Township Public Library in the Spring Valley Hall space at 4103 County Road 29 – the business fair will be held entirely under big tents in the parking lot. Larger displays will be just outside.

The fair will go on, rain or shine, as the big tents will provide cover if show-ers do come down.

The library will be open that day as well, offering an opportunity for those who have not seen the space, a chance to peruse.

Vendors looking to register have two

sign-up options. The fi rst is basic regis-tration at a cost of $40, the second op-tion allows the registrant to be included in all advertising – at a cost of $80 for this option.

For further information please call Betty Gibson or Laura Stanzel at 613-345-7480 or email [email protected].

Registration forms are also avail-able at the municipal offi ce, 6544 New Dublin Road, or at www.elizabethtown-kitley.on.ca.

Making Play Possible announces fundraiser Pints for Play, at Keystorm PubEvents - Making Play Possible is

thrilled to announce the launch of a new fundraising event.

In partnership with Scotiabank, Mak-ing Play Possible will be hosting “Pints for Play” at the Keystorm Pub on April 30 from 6-10 p.m. The evening will fea-ture performances by River City Junc-tion, a popular local blues/retro-rock power trio who have generously donated their talent for this event (www.rivercit-yjunction.com). Tickets for this casual evening of music and fun will sell fast, so make sure to grab them up today.

Tickets are $35 and include one pint, great entertainment, and are available at all Scotiabank Brockville locations. The pints, music and venue have all been generously donated by the Keystorm Pub and River City Junction, which means that 100 per cent of ticket sale revenues will be going to support Mak-ing Play Possible.

In addition, all proceeds from ticket sales will be matched by Scotiabank - doubling every contribution to this worthwhile local cause. Tickets include

one drink ticket (some restrictions will apply).

Making Play Possible is dedicated to increasing access to recreation for chil-dren and youth within Leeds-Grenville. Funds raised will stay in the community, supporting local families and ensuring that all kids have the chance to play.

About Making Play Possible:Making Play Possible ensures that all

children and youth in Leeds-Grenville have access to recreational opportuni-ties, regardless of the barriers they may face. By helping families participate in recreation, MPP are raising kids who will grow up physically and mentally strong.

Making Play Possible is celebrat-ing its 10th anniversary this year. The organization has supported over 4,000 children and youth locally since 2004. Participation in recreation increases a child’s chance for success in life. Mak-ing Play Possible funds registration fees, equipment costs and transportation expenses for children and youth to par-ticipate in all kinds of recreation: sports, the arts, and organized social activities. In addition, the program helps families connect to other supports for children and youth who face other non-fi nancial barriers. This includes connecting chil-dren and youth with special needs to appropriate recreation providers or ac-tivities, and making referrals to support services.

News – On Wednesday, April 30 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, Look Out Brain! Here I Come! will be presented at the Brain Health Workshop in the Yoga Studio at the YMCA of Brockville and Area, 349 Park St.

This free seminar is brought to the public by the Upper Canada Family Health Team, Alzheimer Society of Leeds-Grenville, the YMCA of Brockville and Area with the sponsorship of the St. Lawrence News.

According to Upper Canada Family Health Team social worker Meredith Armstrong, everyone should attend this workshop, as each person will benefi t from the many opportunities that are available in keeping the brain active and as engaged as possible.

Armstrong works with older individuals who go through many changes throughout their lives, which can affect their mental health, memory and how they function on a day-to-day basis.

“I will talk about the resources in our community,” said Armstrong. “There’s also a way to prevent an onset of dementia. By doing some of the things we are presenting, we feel that your brain will stay healthier. In order to do that you have to take care of everything that contributes to it.”

Enhancing brain healthThis workshop will include

learning ways to maintain or enhance brain health, as well as introduce people to the various community resources and programs available.

“We are approaching this class as being holistic and comprehensive with the three agencies working together, each bringing something different to those who may be concerned about dementia or any mental health issue,” said Y’s senior director of development Sandra Devaney. “I’m concerned with what we can do to make things better for every demographic. That’s why we are doing this.”

Alzheimer Society inputAlzheimer Society of Leeds-

Grenville education and support coordinator Sean McFadden’s input to the workshop will comprise of four key components to a person’s life that the public should be aware of and should act on.

“It’s all about brain health,” said McFadden. “I’ll be talking about the brain and what to do to keep the brain healthy.”

In addition, there will be a discussion about fun ways to exercise with a light fi tness component with well-known Cathie Motluk and Jeannie Davies.

Regular exercise has been proven to reduce stress, ward off anxiety and depression as well as improve sleep patterns. Clinical studies done at the Mayo Clinic have shown that regular physical activity will benefi t the brain.

Also, attendees can share, network and socialize with others as to what they have in common to keeping their brain active.

There will be light refreshments available throughout the

workshop and people are asked to register before April 23.

To reserve your seat, call please 613-345-7392 and the “Y” is wheelchair accessible.

A table of pamphlets and hand-outs will be available.

As well, the YMCA Brockville and Area Wednesday Lunches for the Giving Campaign will be available for $7, starting at 11:30 to 1 p.m., for anyone that is interested.

Come to learn why it’s so

important to take care of your brain by maintaining a healthy diet, socializing, promoting good sleep habits and more.

This workshop is free and it’s for everyone who wants to maintain a healthy brain.

Lise Harrigan of Johnstown takes part in the Join the Fight Against Hydro Rates rally held April 4. One of many held across the province on the same day, a crowd came out to Brockville’s Blockhouse Island to voice their frustrations against hydro rates, billing and other issues to do with hydro one. Harrigan was on hand to fi ght for herself, her children and grandchildren, saying hydro has be-come so expensive now, aff ording a mortgage and hydro bills is often an impossible task.

Lifestyle - “Finally!” Mother said, as Father backed the old Model T out of the drive shed where it had been sitting up on blocks since the fi rst heavy snowfall.

That meant our trips into Renfrew no longer meant hitching up the horse and cutter, or in some cases, the team and the fl at-bottom sleigh every Saturday for our weekly supplies. We were all so excited, Mother said she saw no reason why we fi ve children couldn’t go in as well, since it was our fi rst trip with the car that year. It didn’t take long for us to get out of our Saturday work clothes and into our next-to-Sunday-best, wash our faces, comb our hair, and make sure our necks were clean. Why anyone in Renfrew would give a hoot in Hades if the Haneman children had clean necks or not was a mystery to me!

The old car sure wasn’t much to look at, with one back door missing, a fender that was painted an entirely differ-ent colour from the rest of the car, and

a hole as big as a pie plate in the back fl oor where I had to sit being the young-est, and from which point all I could see was the Northcote Side Road zooming by.

It was a lovely day for a fi rst drive, Mother commented, as Father turned out of our lane, and passed Briscoe’s General Store. I could hear the purr of the engine, as he worked the lever under the steering wheel increasing the speed. It was a bone shattering ride over the washboard road, and the dust blew into the open car like brown clouds. My sis-ter Audrey wisely brought a silk scarf,

which she tied around her face. The rest of us covered our eyes as best we could.

Father cut the gas back as we headed down Raglan Street, looking for a place to park the Model T. And suddenly, just like the run-down of a windup clock, the Model T gave a gasp, and stopped dead in the middle of the street. Fa-ther shoved the gas lever up and down, pulled on the choke, and the car with a mind of its own, sat there like a big black lump of clay.

Father got out with the crank, and with the sweat pouring off his face, his arm fl ying off the crank on occasion, and the Model T, like a rebellious child refused to catch. It wouldn’t have been so bad if Father had been able to steer the car into the curb, but there it sat, right in the middle of Raglan Street.

Audrey offered me a nickel if I would change places with her. She wanted on the fl oor so no one would see her. I

said I would consider it for a dime. All she had was a nickel, and so I stayed crouched on the fl oor. Mother was fan-ning herself with her purse in the front seat, Emerson said he would meet us at Thacker’s Garage when Father got the car going, and Everett and Earl decided they would have a look in the Five and Ten Cent store.

Mother said everyone would stay exactly where they were! “We aren’t going to traipse all over Renfrew when we get the car going and are ready to go home,” she said. “If we get the car go-ing,” Audrey said, from under the silk scarf which now covered her entire face, except for her eyes, reminding me of a picture of someone from a foreign land in a book I brought home from the Ren-frew Library.

A crowd had gathered on the side-walk in front of Scott’s Hardware where the car had broken down. Mother waved to a few of them just as if it was an ev-

eryday occurrence to be stopped dead in the middle of the main street of Ren-frew! “Nice day,” she said. The people nodded in return.

Mr. Scott came out of the store, as-sessed the situation, and deciding the problem was doing nothing for his busi-ness, he offered to have the two men on his staff, with the help of Father and my three brothers, start pushing the car to-wards Thacker’s Garage.

Mother stayed in the front seat, I got off the fl oor, Audrey shot down like a bullet to take my place, and the car with Father behind the wheel started slowly down Raglan Street to Thacker’s ga-rage.

It didn’t take long for Mr. Thacker to fi gure out what was wrong, and he circled the car, shaking his head, kick-ing the tires with the toe of his boot, and telling Father the car wasn’t long for this world!

LETTER TO THE EDITORTips for buying that fi rst home

DEAR EDITOR:For most Canadians, the purchase of their fi rst house is a major

milestone. It’s a chance to become a home owner. It’s also an im-portant fi nancial investment that likely means assuming a mortgage for the fi rst time.

First-time buyers often have a wish list of features for their fi rst home. Mortgages too have features, and putting together a wish list of mortgage options can save you money. It’s more than shopping around for the best interest rate.

To fi gure out your best mortgage options you should fi rst consider the future needs for your family. Are you making a commitment for many years, or is this a temporary purchase that may change as your needs evolve? You also need to determine the amount you can pay as a down payment and the amount of the monthly mortgage pay-ments you can afford to make.

Put together a realistic budget, allowing for the additional expens-es that you will make when you buy the house, such as closing fees and moving costs. And be sure to consider the ongoing expenses of home ownership, including annual property taxes, maintenance costs, as well as insurance costs, and leave a margin for possible increases in interest rates.

Did you know that you can get a free copy of your credit report? Review your credit report well in advance to make sure it is accu-rate. Your mortgage lender will be reviewing your report before you are approved for your mortgage.

Editorial – Service clubs give back so much to their com-munities. The Lions Club, the Kinsmen Club, Shriners are just a few. This week alone the Rotary Club of Prescott cel-ebrated its 75th anniversary with a special gala event, as well as bringing in decorated Canadian Olympian Jennifer Heil.

Heil was not only the guest speaker during the gala eve-ning at the Prescott Golf Club, but she also spoke to many impressionable children and youth in Prescott earlier that day.

She left them with a message of inspiration and to always try.

While the Prescott Rotary Club was celebrating this milestone anniversary, just a few communities down the road - the Rotary Club of the 1000 Islands and the Rotary Club of Brockville were committing to a donation of $100,000, to long-term care residence Sherwood Park Manor, at the east end of the city.

This donation will be given over the span of fi ve years for the purchase of new beds for the facility. They aren’t just run-of-the-mill beds either - they are top-of-the-line and adjustable. They can be raised and lowered using an elec-tronic control which will enable infi rm patients to get in and out more easily and allow nurses more ready access to the recumbent patients. The Rotary’s donation will allow for the purchase of 52 such beds.

Sherwood Park Manor, a non-profi t organization that receives no municipal funding, has been dealing with some fi nancial challenges of late, and this donation certainly helps to keep the 107-bed facility on a fi rm footing.

Sherwood Park Manor will also help its own cause in a few months when it holds its fi rst-ever fundraising golf tour-nament. The event is scheduled to take place June 20 at the Brockville Country Club.

The work of so many service clubs truly leaves a lasting mark on their communities. It fosters good will, a sense of being neighbourly and last but not least, makes meaningful difference and positive change happen from the ground up.

Whatever Mr. Thacker did, the car was purring like a kit-ten when we pulled out of the garage, and Mother said she was sure we could manage without stopping for supplies for one week, and that the best thing we could do was head for Northcote.

You couldn’t hear what Mother was saying to Father in the front seat, but he pulled into Briscoe’s General Store on the way home. She said once we stopped, since we hadn’t spent any money in Renfrew, she saw no reason

why we couldn’t all have an ice cream cone.

Father wasn’t taking any chances. While we fi ve chil-dren and Mother traipsed into the store, Father stayed in the car with the motor running just in case the old Model T took another notion to give up the ghost.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Community is rich with volunteerismDEAR EDITOR:

In today’s society, it can be diffi cult to fi nd time to volunteer given the busy lifestyles that surround us. And yet, vol-unteering is one of the better-known benefi ts which impact our community.

Last week, nine residents within the Township of Rideau Lakes put their name forward for consideration in fi ll-ing a vacant seat on municipal council for the remainder of the seven month

term of offi ce. We are so very fortun-ate to live within a community where people are willing to contribute their time, talents and resources to work together for the betterment of the entire municipality.

While only one candidate could be selected to fi ll the vacancy, all nine residents should be thanked and con-gratulated for taking the time and show-ing the interest in serving on municipal

council. Public service is one of the nob-lest pursuits an individual can undertake and service on council provides a won-derful opportunity to give back to one’s community.

Whether it be sitting on a municipal committee or volunteering with a non-profi t or charitable organization, com-munity service is an excellent venue to impact change and make a difference for those in need. If you are not currently a

member of such a committee or organ-ization, perhaps 2014 should be the time to join. We can all make a difference!

Congratulations once again to all of the candidates and thank you for bring-ing the importance of community ser-vice back to the forefront.

William Morris,former councillor

CNIB thanks its many volunteersDEAR EDITOR:

In honour of National Volunteer Week (April 6 – 12), CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) would like to thank its incredible volunteers; we couldn’t do what we do without them.

CNIB has always been an organization of people helping people, and nowhere is that more evident than in the dedicated work of our volunteers. Our volunteer team stretches from one end of the country to the other – and is made up of Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life.

Every day, passionate CNIB volunteers make a difference for our

clients through their selfl ess work.Please remember to take the time

to acknowledge the volunteers in your community - especially during this week. A simple “thank you” reminds them that their work is appreciated.

CNIB Ontario - East Region

Speaker addresses fl uoridationDEAR EDITOR:

The addition of the toxic industrial waste chemical, hydrofl uorosilicic acid, commonly referred to as fl uoride, has been added to Brockville’s water supply for some time. The reason for this, ac-cording to the municipal council, who are advised by the Leeds Grenville Lanark District Health Unit, is to help prevent tooth decay.

Only 33 per cent of Canadians and less than fi ve per cent of the world’s popula-tion still receive artifi cially fl uoridated tap water. As more studies are done with reliable methodologies and results, the real effect this addition to municipal wa-ter supplies has on our health are stagger-ing. Interference with the functioning of the thyroid and pineal gland, arthritis, de-mentia, increase in cancer, IQ reduction in children, brittle bones risk and fl uoro-sis of teeth are some of the known health effects found.

It is the bio-accumulative damage to individual’s health that are ignored and studies that criticize fl uoridation of pub-lic water are being dismissed as having methodology errors. Even though health authorities refer to the fl uoride expert panel of Health Canada’s 2007-08 study as one of their guides, the effects on the thyroid gland aren’t even included. This panel also states that the conclusions are their opinion. Harvard Universities latest comprehensive study considers a wide spectrum of health effects that this toxic chemical waste derived from the phos-phate industry contaminated with lead, arsenic, radionucleotides, aluminum and other industrial contaminants, has on overall health. Note this is not cal-cium fl uoride that is naturally occurring in varying amounts in the environment. Hydrofl uorosilicic acid is very absorb-able and its addition does not consider the many other sources of fl uoride in tooth-paste, foods and drinks, pharmaceutical products and even babies formulas.

To top this off, according to a number of reliable studies, there is no absolute

proof that this mass medication, given without the individuals consent, helps prevent tooth decay.

It seems doing the research individu-ally for reliable information on health is required here. The Brockville chapter of the Council of Canadians is having an information session with guest speaker Richard Hudon, the president of Fluori-dation Free Ottawa, on Saturday, April 12, at 2 p.m., at the Brockville Public Li-brary. This session is free of charge and is open to everyone. We invite you consider the information and make up your own mind about this important issue.

Rotary Club of Prescott celebrates 75th anniversary with special dinner eventBy CONAN de VRIES

News - It’s not often the chance arises to hold in one’s hand real Olympic gold and silver medals, let alone to shake the hand of the person who won them.

Many people got that chance last week at the Rotary Club of Prescott’s 75th anniversary gala, where decorated Canadian Olympian Jennifer Heil was the guest of honour and keynote speaker.

The four-time world champion and two-time Olympic medallist spoke to a large crowd gathered at the Prescott Golf Club last Friday evening, telling of her unlikely journey to Olympic stardom and of the satisfaction she has found in helping others now that her athletic career is over.

“I’m a refl ection of my community,” said the 31-year-old. “I’ve had so much support.”

It was on a trip to the impoverished African nation of Burkina Faso not that long ago that focussed Heil’s desire to help others into a desire to help give people in the third world, girls in particular, the opportunity to make something of themselves as she had.

“There had to be a way,” she recalls thinking, “I could create the same opportunity for others.”

Heil joined up with Plan Canada and began contributing to charitable enterprises focused particularly on helping young African girls receive a formal education. In fact, Heil recently reached into her own pocket and donated $20,000 to the cause.

She explained that her approach to the seemingly intractable problem of third-world poverty is not entirely dissimilar to the approach she took to her athletic career—an approach, it must be noted, that resulted in her climbing to the top of the medal podium in 2006.

“My passion comes from the challenge,” she said.

After the telling of Heil’s remarkable story, it was time for congratulations to be extended to the Rotary Club for its three-quarters of a century of public service.

“Every little bit that your club does helps the community,” said MP Gord Brown.

Leeds-Grenville’s representative at Queen’s Park also had something

to say about the local club, to which he belonged before opting for public offi ce. Steve Clark spoke of Rotary’s commitment to not just local causes but to good causes throughout the world.

“That’s what drove me to Rotary,” he said.

The Mayor of Prescott, Brett Todd, similarly impressed by the number of good works Rotary does, actually joined the club a month ago.

“It’s always really inspired me,” he said.

In addition to Heil, the gala also featured another special guest. The governor of Rotary District 7040, which encompasses clubs in Canada and the

United States, was on hand. Bonnie Black came all the way from Plattsburgh, N.Y., to attend the affair, and she drew a comparison between the Rotary Club and the gala’s guest speaker.

“The passion you have is the passion we have in Rotary,” said Black, gesturing to Heil sitting nearby. “The people in this room are people with passion.”

Marilyn Powers, of the Rotary Club of Brockville, which sponsored the Prescott club’s founding in 1939, also attended last Friday, and she brought greetings from vacationing Rotary president Ian Stephenson.

Rotarian Harvey Sims then got up to speak a little bit about the Rotary

Foundation, the charitable arm of Rotary International, which provides funding upwards of $200 million annually to worthy worldwide causes.

The Prescott club took the opportunity to make a donation to the Foundation, a gesture that then entitled them to bestow a Paul Harris Fellowship Award, a prestigious honour named for the founder of the Rotary movement.

The award can go to a Rotarian or a non-member, as long as that person has demonstrated a noteworthy commitment to serving his or her community, so the local club decided on a non-Rotarian who amply fulfi lls that criterion.

Rotarian Bob Dayman got up

and named local teacher Debbie Vanasseldonk winner of the Paul Harris Fellowship Award.

Vanasseldonk is a Grade 2/3 teacher at Prescott’s Wellington Public School, and she embodies the values and character that Rotarians cherish.

She helped establish a branch of Rotary’s Early Act Club for children at Wellington School and has spearheaded a number of successful fundraisers. She has a reputation as a wonderful teacher who shows great compassion and concern for the kids in her care, and in 2010 she was nominated for the Premier’s Award for Most Outstanding Teacher.

Olympian makes major impact on local studentsBy MARLA [email protected]

News - Don’t be afraid to fail, take that fi rst step and just try, that was the message Olympian Jennifer Heil hoped students at South Grenville District High School took from her presentation, April 4.

Heil spoke to elementary and high school students in Prescott that day, and was the featured guest speaker at the Prescott Rotary Club’s 75th anniversary gala that evening.

“The idea of trying your best is enough, that message gets missed,” she emphasized during an interview with St. Lawrence News EMC. “At the end of the day I am most proud I have done everything in my power to face the challenge.”

Heil, Olympic medalist in freestyle mogul skiing, drew a large crowd of eager students after her presentation. Students looked to ask the Olympian questions, to get photographs with the

athlete as well as autographs. During her presentation to the young people, she noted passion has been a “central” theme in her life. An intense feeling that has allowed her to succeed.

In 2002, at her fi rst Olympics, in Salt Lake City, she came in fourth. In 2006 she brought home gold and in 2010 a silver. She has also won 58 World Cup medals, fi ve Overall World Cup titles, and the list goes on.

Her passion was instilled early on in life, when she told her Grade 8 principal that she would need three months off in her Grade 12 year so she could train and travel around the world to compete. She told him she wanted to be at the Olympics in four years.

“I held onto that belief and made my plan,” she said. She had goals, and made sacrifi ces along the way.

“As a result I was able to live my dream.”

Taking a year off in 2003, she went to McGill University, believing this

was the right way to go; she came back mentally focussed to compete.

For the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, she felt intense pressure. With the pressure came an intense fear, fear that she couldn’t do it. Every time she stood at the top of the mogul course, she felt such incredible fear. In fact, she began to think up excuses to not compete. But not knowing, if she walked away from this challenge, what would happen the next time another came along, made her persevere. She had to try.

She told the students, it’s all right to try, and it’s okay to not achieve. The act of just trying creates courage.

Standing at the top of the mountain course for the 2010 Olympics, she remembered the mountain was just vibrating with energy from the crowd below. She pushed from the start gate, and ended up bringing home silver.

“It’s really not about a medal, it’s about a peace of mind and strength of spirit,” she explained.

Swimming was originally her chosen sport, she told students that afternoon. But her height of fi ve feet four inches prevented her from being competitive in that particular activity, as well as her second choice of volleyball. Her thoughts then went to skiing, and the rest, they say, is history.

Heil graduated from university last year with a Bachelor of Commerce and has just had a baby boy. She is searching for a job in tech, and is hoping for the best. She retired as an athlete in 2011.

“I wanted new challenges. I wanted to start the next phase of my life. So I let go of skiing and started a transition,” she told the crowd.

The message of having a dream and living it, really reached Matthew Markell, Grade 8 student at SGDHS.

The young fi gure skater has Olympic aspirations himself - specifi cally to compete in either the 2018 or 2022 Olympics. “I hope to get there,” he smiled.

Thus far he holds an impressive record, at least one that has him on the right path to his dream. Skating since he was three years old he has been provincial champion three times, and four times section champion. For eastern Ontario he is ranked ninth and 13th in Canada in pre-novice. “I took a lot out of it (Heil’s presentation). I kept a lot of it in my mind. Every time I have challenges it will help me overcome,” he said. “Hopefully I will get to bring home a gold medal too.”

Markell practices his craft four times a week in Prescott and he also skates in Ottawa at the Minto Skating Club.

“In my opinion, Jennifer’s dare to dream message emphasizing the importance of “dreaming big” and never giving in to limitations will have a signifi cant positive impact on both the children and adults of our community,” noted Ken Durand of the sponsoring, Prescott Rotary Club in a letter sent to media prior to Heil’s presentation.

Grant to CPHC creates Passport to Wholeness for seniors’ workshopsBY DOREEN BARNES

Lifestyle – Approval of a New Hori-zon Grant of $25,000 to Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC) has been received for the Passport to Wholeness for Seniors.

Malcolm Robinson, chair of the CPHC board of directors welcomed guests to the announcement on Friday, April 4, at the CPHC Centre of Excel-lence, Brockville.

“We are here this morning to cel-ebrate some good news about the re-sources available to CPHC to support programs,” said Robinson.

Although arriving a little late, due to a Mayors’ Breakfast in Charleville, Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown ex-pressed his delight in bringing good news to CPHC.

“Did you all know that one in seven Canadians are over the age of 65?” said Brown. “In 25 years one in four Cana-dians will be a senior. Through the New Horizon Seniors Program, the govern-ment of Canada is taking action to en-able seniors to share their knowledge, skills and experiences with others.”

Brown noted that by encouraging se-niors to volunteer, to improving facili-ties and increasing the awareness of el-der abuse, the New Horizons for Seniors program will work to better the lives of all Canadians.

New Horizons for Seniors was creat-ed in 2004, which has allowed seniors to lead and participate in activities across Canada.

The Five-Part Passport to Wholeness for Seniors includes the following:

- Legal Matters, wills, power of attor-ney and legal considerations,

- Financial Matters, investing on a fi xed income, protecting against fraud, Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, guaranteed income supplement, survi-vor benefi ts,

- Active Living, CPHC Heart Wise Seniors Exercise program,

-Healthy Eating, nutrition, diabetes, obesity and related illnesses,

- Socialization/Relationships, seniors and caregivers, relationships, adjust-ments due to death or chronic health.

Five sessions of workshops will be facilitated by professionals in each sub-ject matter and will include community partners and volunteers.

In fact, Jim Doris, a lawyer of Jim Doris of Doris Law Offi ce Professional Corporation in Prescott, has already

agreed to lead a session.For this project it will be Sandra

Gill’s responsibility to coordinate these workshops in different locations includ-ing Athens, Brockville, Carleton Place, Gananoque, Perth, Prescott, Portland, Smiths Falls, Spencerville and West-port.

The desired benefi ts are a sense of belonging, awareness of available pro-active services and supports, a comfort level navigating available resources, improved sense of wellness, a sense of purpose, a strong sense of community and greater opportunity to live indepen-dently.

Fellow CPHC board director and co-chair of Safe Community Coalition of Brockville, Leeds and Grenville Kevin Spencer indicated that keeping seniors independent, active and most of all safe

are key components.“I know that this grant will be used

for its full potential throughout Leeds, Grenville and Lanark in supporting seniors programs to enhance life for seniors,” said Spencer. “Safe Commu-nities look forward to continuing their relationship between CPHC, as well as other partners in keeping Leeds Gren-ville a safe and healthy community.”

At this point, CPHC executive direc-tor Ruther Kitson shared the information regarding suggested programs.

“It’s not the staff, it’s not myself, it’s your surveys and needs assessments that are telling us what is missing and what is needed,” shared Kitson. “As you age there are really a lot of things that make it really diffi cult to make decisions on and some are legal matters, or making sure there’s enough money in our bank

account. The feedback we got is that we need workshops. Our coordinator, San-dra will be reaching out to presenters in that community. I think it will help seniors feel like that there’s help out there.”

Kitson also mentioned that socializa-tion is the most important and challeng-ing.

“We are hopeful and optimistic that these fi ve modules will be a passport that will be stamped each time a pre-sentation is made,” stated Kitson. “They will have the option to have a hard copy, binder format, website or whatever. We think this will be the beginning of many more workshops. Kevin and I are work-ing together on Safe Community, called Safety Procedures and that will be an-other module.”

Wrapping up the funding announce-

ment, Gill explained the format for the workshops.

“We are going on a bit of a journey,” said Gill. “We are taking Flight 10-5, 10 destinations, fi ve sessions and we are go-ing to feature the take-off, the complete fl ight with entertainment, food, landing on a tropical island and being part of the party of life.”

Some interested community part-ners are Food for All Food Bank, Mills Home Support, and Community Health Support Lanark County.

Housing needs across the region discussed at local forumBy MARLA [email protected]

News – Housing has an important meaning to all of us, noted Warden of the United Counties Ron Holman, as he spoke to those gathered at the Building Local Capacity for Housing Needs fo-rum, April 3.

Held at the Brockville Convention Centre, the event attracted a large crowd for a series of presentations that day from a number of different speakers.

Housing is a very basic, yet funda-mental need, Holman said. Beginning with some of the basics about what areas the counties encompass, its demograph-ics as well as population, he noted the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville features 41,075 private households.

UCLG social housing has 667 Rent Geared to Income (RGI) units, and 194 buildings (15 multi-residential, 179 single family). There are 16 affordable housing units, mixed family and seniors’

units with administrative oversight by UCLG.

“Our buildings are aging, while they were well built at the time,” Holman explained, there are some buildings that are more than half a century old. Many were built to accommodate the post-World War II baby boom, many with

similar size and shape. In the 1970s and 80s, there was a trend towards seniors housing.

There is much changing in social housing. He pointed to the social housing registry waitlist. In 2014 – 83 per cent of applicants were for one bedroom units for older adults and seniors. And 15 per cent of all applicants were waiting for a social housing request with accessibility features, a power point detailed.

To regenerate social housing a bal-ance between haves and needs and working together has to happen.

Holman’s power point noted, what the counties has are housing types not meeting the needs, an aging demo-graphic making the average unit size too large and inaccessible, energy defi cient, and aged buildings. What is needed is a strategy to meet the current health needs as well as those in the future, support services for independent living, social environment to foster well-being, af-

fordable, smaller household sizes that are accessible and barrier free, lending themselves to aging at home.

“The demands of the future are dif-ferent from today,” he said.

Business as usual is not meeting the needs that are ever evolving.

Strategies have been formed in order to “transform” the UCLG “social hous-ing portfolio.” Holman also pointed to one recent regeneration project which was undertaken in Prescott. The regen-eration project was completed in 2011, and saw construction of two, two bed-room units which are barrier free. “Our housing options are varied and limited only by our imaginations,” he said.

Another project Holman spoke of is the Elgin Seniors Housing development in Rideau Lakes Township. “We do have a lot of seniors in our township with re-stricted income,” he explained.

On the fi eld of an old ball diamond, a roadway was constructed and three

buildings with four units each built. The units are for seniors, and were built with involvement from the Canada Mort-gage and Housing Corporation, provin-cial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and the Township of Rideau Lakes. The total cost of the project was $2 million.

“Overall it’s been a tremendous suc-cess,” he said with a smile.

The forum also featured keynote speaker Norman Kunc. A “Well-known advocate within the disability rights community, he prefers to think of him-self as a modern day storyteller, con-tinuing the long held tradition of using humour and narrative to initiate self-re-fl ection and social change,” noted pro-motional materials.

Several partnering agencies came to-gether to ensure the day was a success, including, but not limited to the UCLG, Community Involvement Legacy Homes and others.

Get Well Gang gets together to celebrate

Popular Card Club seeks supplies to continue

By JAN MURRAYLifestyle - Gretchen Huntley start-

ed the Get Well Gang back in 2003 in Gananoque, as a way of memorializ-ing her close friend, Celeste Rausch.

She began with only six hats, which she crocheted and took to the lodge in Kingston. “There was a woman there who was bald,” explained Huntley. “She tried it on and loved it and took two home with her that very day.”

She then took some into the TD Canada Trust Bank to show the girls there what she was doing and one em-ployee, whose sister was undergoing cancer treatments at the time, bought one immediately.

The employees at the branch were so impressed with the hats and the opportunity to support women facing such diffi cult times, that they decided to launch a fundraiser to offset the cost of supplies and postage fees in order to see that the hats could make it to wherever they need to go. To date they have now distributed more than 25,650 hats across Canada.

That number is of course only ac-counting for those that were made with Huntley’s knowledge. There are many others, Huntley explains. “There are a lot of people that make them, take them to hospitals, and I know noth-ing about it. So there is probably a lot more out there and I wouldn’t even be able to guess how many.”

The Get Well Gang is a group of peo-ple, from all over, who knit and crochets hats for those experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatments.

Each of the hats is made of soft cot-ton so that they are comfortable and almost certain to not cause any allergic reactions. They are made in a great va-riety of colours for women and for men and children.

“It really is a pay it forward kind of

News – Students mill into a class-room, buzzing about the work they have ahead of them. Making their way to a seat might take a few minutes as they search through materials that attract their eye for the work they are envision-ing in the half-hour ahead.

The Card Club at South Grenville District High School has been running since September, with attendance of up to 12 members each week. Put on by moms Lori Innes and Julie Bowers, they are helped by teacher Jodie MacK-enzie. Right now the club is asking the community for donations of supplies to carry on.

The club has been called the “Feel Good Club,” Innes pointed out sec-ondary principal Sandy McInnes has dubbed it just that. “That’s fi ne by me,” she agreed. Kids feel good making the cards and the kids receiving them also feel good that something was made just for them – feelings of goodness are all around.

On April 1, during their once a week half-hour session, club members were making a get well card, a goodbye card and happy birthday cards.

They start each meeting by carefully going over a list of birthdays for Grade 7 and 8 students. Each student receives a card on their birthday, hand crafted by the club.

Club members, the club is open to

thing, “Huntley explains. “All of our hats are donated. We never sell hats. They are always free of charge to can-cer patients as well as a little book that I

wrote called Mama Grog Gets Sick and they are also donated free of charge.”

It explains to children the changes they are going to see if a loved one is

diagnosed with cancer such as hair loss. “Most kids never see that, and that’s why I wrote the little book.”

The books are also free of charge.

The hats as well as the books are made possible by the generous donations of members of the community who ap-preciate the work that is being done and want to get involved.

They are not, at this point, a regis-tered charity and so are unable to give receipts for any donations.

The Get Well Gang raises money through donations, craft sales and si-lent auctions. Each time, 100 per cent of funds raised goes right into helping to pay to ship the hats to wherever they are needed.

The hats have been such an out-standing success that this project has far surpassed anything Huntley could have ever imagined. This group of women, knit, crochets, and donate these hats to whoever happens to need them. They have no meetings, no dues, and no politics. The vast majority of them have never even met one another as often the miles between them are too great.

When they passed the 25,000 mile-stone Huntley decided it was time to have a celebration. Nothing too big, just enough to bring some of these women together, to get to know one another, to hear each other’s stories, and an oppor-tunity for Huntley to say thank you to everyone for all their hard work.

“It started so small and I can’t believe that we’ve gone where we have with it and so many different people care and are willing to help.” Huntley explained how overwhelmed she was with the generosity of so many.

All of the door prizes for the Get Well Gang Get together were graciously do-nated, Huntley herself purchasing only one. “People are so caring.”

If you wish to get involved you can donate at the TD Canada Trust Bank or for more information visit their web page at www.getwellgang.ca

those in Grades 7 and 8, then hand deliv-er the cards to students with birthdays, or other specifi c events. Club members enjoy surprising their classmates. As this is the fi rst year for the club, sometimes students aren’t expecting to receive a special card made just for them.

Those in the club enjoy it thorough-ly as they get to tap into their creative sides, some call it “another art class.”

Gaining in popularity, the club had to move rooms within the school, as the room they started out in became too small for their needs.

“We are in desperate need of sup-plies,” Innes explained. “Anyone in town who wants to donate to the kids (we would be grateful).” Those wishing to donate supplies may do so by drop-ping them off at the front offi ce or leave them to the attention of elementary vice-principal Christie Reitsma.

“We are running pretty low at this point,” Innes raised her eyebrows as she looked around the room, and at the table full of eager club members work-ing away.

Innes is right in her element, as an avid scrapbooker, she takes pleasure in helping students with their creative whims. Bowers is also a scrapbooking enthusiast.

For further information on how to donate, please either call the school at 613-925-2855, or bring your donation to SGDHS located at 1000 Edward St. N., Prescott.

Gwenne Goodlet and Gretchen Huntley share a mo-ment during the Get Well Gang Get Together held at the Gananoque Curling Club, April 6. Huntley started the group, which knits and crochets hats for those

experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatments. To date more than 25,650 hats have been distributed across Canada.

Taking Action: Victims of CrimeAwareness Week April 6-12

“Taking Action” is the theme of this year’s National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, tak-ing place across Canada from April 6-12, 2014. The goal is to raise awareness about issues facing victims of crime and the services, programs, and laws in place to help victims and their families. The Assault Response & Care Centre of Leeds & Grenville (ARCC) in collabo-ration with Victim Issues Coor-dinating Committee of Leeds & Grenville (VICC) is providing the community with a Resource Guide for Victims of Crime to commemorate the week.

In Leeds & Grenville we are faced with a unique challenge of providing services across a large geographical area which is primarily rural. Many services are centrally located in the ur-ban areas but provide services across all of Leeds & Grenville. It is this geographical chal-lenge that may limit awareness regarding available services in our region. As such, we felt it was important to bring aware-ness regarding these services through a media campaign that would reach all communities. Over the week of April 6 -12, 2014 local newspapers, radio, and television will be used to inform residents about the ser-vices available thanks to the Victims Fund by the Justice De-partment of Canada.

The Resource Guide for Vic-tims of Crime in Leeds & Gren-ville will be provided to resi-dents through this week’s flyer section of your local EMC. This guide lists local services that are able to assist victims of crime in a variety of ways. Our hope is that residents will be able to use this condensed guide to help navigate and access ser-vices available to them. For more information on services and information for victims in Leeds & Grenville please refer to the Victim Issues Coordinat-ing Committee’s website: www.victiminfo.com.

Please check out the flyer section of this paper for your Resource Guide for Victims of Crime in Leeds & Grenville.

This public awareness cam-paign was funded by the Vic-tims Fund, a grants and contri-butions program administered by the Department of Justice Canada. Funds are available to provinces, territories and non-governmental organizations for programs and services that give victims of crime a more effec-tive voice in the criminal justice system. For more information about the Victims Fund, please visit: http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/victims-victimes/

NEWS

Positive news shared during annual Mayors’ BreakfastBy MARLA [email protected]

News - A feeling of collaboration and working together was felt throughout the many presentations shared at the Mayors’ Breakfast, April 4.

The annual event, focusing on eco-nomic development and the importance of infrastructure, took place at the Grenville Snowmobile Club, Charleville, and drew a large crowd. Speaking that morning were MP and MPP for Leeds-Grenville Gord Brown and Steve Clark, Warden of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Ron Holman, and other municipal lead-ers.

The year that was, was a promising one, with much work ahead for 2014.

“We need to work together. Leeds and Grenville becomes successful when we all work together as a team,” Clark noted.

Clark spoke that morning on the an-nounced closure of the University of Guel-ph, Kemptville campus, saying its future is important to eastern Ontario, and Ontario as a whole. He called the decision to close the facility, “short-sighted.” He committed himself to pushing for a moratorium on the closure, “We want new students coming to Kemptville this fall.”

Brown spoke on a number of topics, including a new infrastructure plan, the Building Canada Fund, gas tax, appren-ticeship and more. He emphasized that his door is always open, and for those in the room to bring forward their concerns to him.

Holman noted major counties initia-tives included long term care, as a key issue, as well as the offi cial plan and pro-vincial policy statements, policing and as-set management plans. As well he pointed to County Road 43 as an initiative, “North Grenville is going to become the number one contributor to the coffers of Leeds and Grenville.”

Andy Brown, CAO for UCLG and a member of the project steering committee for the Eastern Ontario Economic Devel-opment Strategy and Transportation Needs Analysis, gave an update. A project over-view to date, he explained, includes the fact consultants were engaged, as well as funding and partners. Extensive research and consultation has been undertaken. And a draft fi nal report was completed in February 2014. At this point it is undergo-ing review.

Some of the key fi ndings included 53 per cent of all businesses employ less than fi ve employees, in eastern Ontario. There is a disconnect between the education sys-tem and the jobs available, and the need to refocus on economic development efforts.

The next step will be to present the fi -nal report to the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus and the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Caucus for formal adoption and to develop an implementation strategy.

Pierre Mercier, CAO for Augusta Township, opened by saying there are many successes for the township due to its forward thinking and aggressive council. One of the many projects on the go is a 48

St. Lawrence Col-lege students decided to use a fundraising project for their business course wherein they had a silent auc-tion to benefi t the Homeless Veterans Fund at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 96 in Brockville. They solicited items, organized the display of products which included artwork, cleaning supplies, Senators hockey tickets, Blue Jays tickets, Expedia cruise, and much more.

News – Students at South Grenville District High School (SGDHS) are raising funds to help a child’s dream come true.

Grade 8 student Morgan Brontmire has organized a fundraiser at the high school to raise money for Make-A-Wish Canada and to raise awareness about epilepsy, she said. The founda-tion collects funds to make dreams come true for children with life-threat-ening illnesses.

Brontmire encouraged students at the school to wear purple March 26 to mark Epilepsy Awareness Day. Her stepbrother has a rare form of the dis-ease called Dravet Syndrome, which can result in fatal seizures. The family recently returned from Disney World on a trip made possible by Make-

A-Wish Canada, fulfi lling her little brother’s dream.

After seeing the positive impact Make-A-Wish Canada had on her stepbrother, she decided to launch the fundraiser to generate $1,000 to help another child experience the same joy.

As part of the campaign, she has displayed posters at the school pro-viding information on epilepsy. She is running a coin drive with collection jars set up around the school, and has displayed pledge sheets at South Gren-ville to raise money for Make-A-Wish Canada. The two-week fundraiser ran until April 4.

Authentic leadership junkie speaks to Brockville Women in Business April 15

Events - Brockville Women in Busi-ness monthly luncheon is set for April 15 with guest speaker Shelli Warren.

Warren enables people to become the person they want to be on the out-side by fi rst becoming that person on the inside. Through her enthusiasm for leadership development and mak-ing connections through coaching and building relationships, she has built a reputation as an authentic leader-ship junkie and community supporter.

Prescott Mayor Brett Todd comment-ed that it is challenging to bring jobs to the area, as well as to keep them here. Placing importance on embracing new ideas and going out there and getting new opportunities is vital, he said.

“We have to be aggressive about what we are trying to accomplish,” he stated.

While manufacturing news will be forthcoming, he said. One of the many projects being worked on is bringing a hotel to Prescott. “A hotel is just so im-portant.”

Downtown rejuvenation is showing life in Prescott, he pointed out.

“We are very heartened by our suc-cess this term,” he stated.

The past year has truly been a busy one for Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, noted Mayor Bill Sloan. Pointing to the recently estab-lished Ingredion Centre (arena) in Cardi-nal, he said it has brought in visitors and has served as a gathering place for the community. Providing a starting point for future development, growth is hoped to be brought to the community in future.

Augusta Reeve Mel Campbell, closed by pointing to the “super turnout” noting the messages shared that morning were, “confi dent, more news and good news is on the way.”

Lifestyle - “We are so excited about the new look and feel of the Brockville and 1000 Islands Visitor Guide,” says Deb Hamilton, tourism marketing co-ordinator. It was very well received in Ottawa recently at the National Wom-en’s Show where tourism staff and vol-unteers showcased Brockville and the 1000 Islands region.

Steve Weir, manager of Brockville and 1000 Islands Tourism, set the direc-tion for the creative content of the guide when he instructed tourism staff to go “Au Naturel”.

In keeping with this year’s theme, one will fi nd a map of the 16 city owned islands for camping and picnicking. This map also features Brockville’s new paddle in paddle out sites. Also included; regional cycling information, wildlife areas, trails and experiences in the Frontenac Arch Biosphere (FAB Ex-periences).

“Kendra Lorimer, our information services coordinator, did a fantastic job in organizing the trade show creating incredible packages to Brockville and great prize give-a-ways thanks to our sponsors, and promoting the 1000 Is-lands Breakfast on Refugee Island and the Tall ship Excursions happening this summer,” says Weir.

Visitor Guides and Maps will be de-livered to business throughout the region over the coming weeks. Please contact [email protected] along with address and the number of copies required for 2014 Brockville Visitor Guides, 2014 Brockville Maps and the 2014 International Travel Guides.

By CONAN de VRIESNews - Once a week, King’s Kitchen

in Prescott hosts a community supper and dishes out a mouth-watering meal to upwards of 200 people.

Though it started out as a way to feed the needy, a noble goal to be sure, King’s Kitchen has grown into something even more special, an opportunity for those in the community both with means and without to mingle and get to know one another over a shared meal.

There is no charge for the meal; people who attend eat for free. But that doesn’t mean King’s Kitchen cooks for free.

It costs about $400 a week to put on the dinner, and there is an ongoing need for money to keep the food coming into the kitchen – and going out. Meat, especially, can be a burdensome cost for the charity.

That’s why, when Prescott resident Kevin Hutt saw an opportunity to raise some money, his fi rst thought was of the King’s Kitchen.

During last month’s Leo Boivin Midget AA/AAA hockey tournament, Hutt was asked by some people from The Row—the name given a good-natured if occasionally immoderate crowd of hockey fans who have long laid claim to a particular section of the stands at the Prescott rink—to conduct a religious service one Sunday before puck drop.

Hutt is not a priest or a minister, he wears no vestments and holds no vocation, but he feels as moved as any pastor to spread the Good News—and for a very good reason.

“I’m a Christian,” he says. “I’m always eager to share the Word of God with people.”

After the brief pre-game service, The Row took up a collection, amounting to

$75, and gave it to Hutt, who immediately decided to pass on the goodwill offering to King’s Kitchen. It also gave him an idea.

On his popular Facebook page – prescottispositive – Hutt posted a challenge to anyone interested in helping raise even more money for the King’s Kitchen. He was heartened by the enthusiastic and rapid response. He received donations from throughout the community and from as far away as Northern New York and Alberta. “I’m very pleased with the response I got,” says Hutt.

On Wednesday, April 2, Hutt attended the weekly dinner and, after the saying of Grace, presented $1,075 to King’s Kitchen volunteers. “This is defi nitely a God-send,” said Carol Casselman, one of King’s Kitchen’s founders.

Though King’s Kitchen welcomes everybody to sit and eat, regardless of religious persuasion or even lack thereof, the volunteers who began and still run the operation make no effort to hide the fact they are inspired by Christ’s example and desire to bring people together in communion just as Jesus did.

King’s Kitchen makes no profi t on its meals and receives no government or institutional funding of any kind. It exists solely by the graces of members of the general public and local businesses who choose to donate money or otherwise help out.

For his part, Hutt hopes he can make further contributions to the cause.

“I feel that this could be a yearly thing,” he says.

The dinners take place every Wednesday at the cafeteria in South Grenville District High School. They run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and everybody is invited to attend, free of charge.

Local insurance brokers lend warmth to children in needNews - Last month, members of the

Leeds and Grenville Insurance Brokers Association donated 50 Bipper Blan-kets to the Family and Children’s Ser-vices of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

Brian Purcell and Rose-Anne Theri-ault from the Leeds and Grenville In-surance Brokers Association met with Foster Parent Association president Allison Asselstine and Shelly Ray-mond with the Family and Children’s Services to contribute blankets to their Suitcase Program.

The blankets will go in a suitcase along with other items such as a stuffed toy, clothing and a book, that a child will take with them to help ease the transition into a new foster home situ-ation.

The Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is a child welfare agency that is mandated under legislation to investigate allega-tions of abuse and neglect, protect chil-dren, provide adoption services and help families to provide a safe, nur-turing place for children and youth to grow up and realize their full potential. Over the years, various initiatives such as the Suitcase Program have made the Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville a staple within the community.

“These donations to the Family and Children’s Services are a just small

gesture of our deep appreciation for the support and services they are routinely providing to the families and children in our community,” states Purcell, in-surance broker with James Purcell Insurance Brokers Ltd. “By making the protection of children and youth a top priority and by helping support families in our communities, the Fam-ily and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville offer truly life-changing aide.”

Every year, the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) vol-unteers their time for local charities across the province. Insurance brokers are known for their commitment to their community and continual support of local charities. As local indepen-dent business owners, the association’s members strongly believe in the im-portance of giving back to their com-munity.

No bubble to pop in Canada’s housing market Business - Canadian house prices may be

headed for a modest decline nationally and in some local markets, but fears of a housing bub-ble are exaggerated, according to The Confer-ence Board of Canada’s initial Housing Brief-ing: Bubble Fears Overblown.

“Mortgage costs, not just house prices, are the principal deciding factor for potential home-buyers,” said Robin Wiebe, senior economist, Centre for Municipal Studies. “Mortgage rates are expected to rise this year, but not dramati-cally, because the Canadian economy remains in

a slow-growth mode. “The housing market may be undergoing

a correction in some regions and market seg-ments, but it is more likely to be a soft landing than a bubble bursting.”

Fears of a housing bubble hinge on the ratio of house prices to apartment rents and house prices to incomes. The Conference Board’s view is that while these ratios are high, they are also mis-leading. Better indicators of affordability are the ratio of mortgage payments to rents and mort-gage payments to incomes, and neither presents much cause for alarm about a housing bubble.

In addition, Canadian employment continues to increase, albeit modestly, and the national population is growing. In general, housing starts are in line with demographic requirements, and markets do not appear to be overbuilt. To-

tal housing starts in Canadian cities with at least 10,000 residents ended 2013 at just be-low 170,000 units. Although down from nearly 194,000 starts in 2012, this is in line with Cana-da’s 25-year average.

Furthermore, a low proportion of Canadian mortgages are in arrears. As a result, a market downturn in Canada would not be amplifi ed by a wave of “distressed” home sales, as occurred in the United States in the 2000s.

Over the medium-term, a modest market correction, particularly in market segments in Ontario and Quebec as projected rising interest rates potentially crimp affordability, could pro-duce a moderate decline in the national average housing price.

Top ten tips to protect your home against water damage this spring News - After the worst year for water

damage claims in Canadian history, Aviva Canada Inc., one of the country’s leading providers of home, auto, leisure and busi-ness insurance, is encouraging Canadians to take steps to protect their property this spring.

“With last year’s storms, water dam-age reached an all-time high making up 51 per cent of all Aviva Canada property claims,” states Wayne Ross, vice president of property claims for Aviva Canada. “The fl ooding in Alberta and Toronto certainly played a big part in the increase, but the general trend is upward. And as severe weather events are growing in frequency, we expect to see more situations like this in the future.”

Aviva Canada paid out a record of over $190 million in water damage claims in 2013, a 69 per cent increase versus 2012.

If the 2013 Alberta and Toronto catastro-phes were removed from the calculation, water damage would have still made up 40 per cent of all property claims for Aviva Canada. The 40 per cent is still a large por-tion of total property damage claims and illustrates the need to be aware of how to protect your property this spring with the winter melt underway.

Data also shows that in 2013, the aver-age cost of a water damage claim rose to $20,537, a 130 per cent increase versus the $8,944 that the company experienced 10 years earlier. Even with the fl ooding catas-trophes removed, the fi gures have trended higher for a number of years.

“The reasons for the upward trend are rather simple,” commented Ross. “The increasing investment Canadians are put-ting into their basements, combined with more frequent severe weather events and

an aging sewer system that is unable to deal with large amounts of water within a short time period, results in a lot of homes experiencing damage.”

And while an insurance policy is in place to protect against certain weather events, Canadians need to protect them-selves against loss. Many Canadians are unaware that overland fl ooding, such as water swells from nearby rivers or lakes, is not covered under standard home insur-ance policies and that this coverage is not widely available.

The top ten steps Canadians should take this spring to safeguard their homes and possessions from water damage are:

1. Inspect your roof: To prevent leaks, get the roof inspected every few years to check the condition of the shingles and re-place when necessary.

2. Clear out gutters: Prevent blockages,

such as leaves and other debris that could force water into your home.

3. Install a backwater valve: These valves close automatically if the sewer backs up and can prevent thousands of dollars in damage.

4. Scope out your sump pump: If your basement has one, examine it and conduct a test run if it doesn’t get used frequently.

5. Slope right: Ensure that soil, walk-ways and patios slope away from the home to allow for proper drainage.

6. Check your foundation: As ice melts, if you notice water pooling in certain ar-eas, clear it away from your home.

7. Ensure your window wells are de-bris-free: Clear any accumulated garbage or leaves to allow water to drain properly.

8. Ensure street catch basins are not blocked: These prevent snow from build-ing up on the street level, protecting water

from seeping towards your property. 9. Protect your valuables: If your home

is prone to water damage, consider mov-ing valuables away from high-risk areas such as the basement, or place items on high shelves or risers.

10. Start right: If you are fi nishing your basement, make sure to seal your exterior walls.

Without taking such precautions, hom-eowners could put their homes and family belongings at great risk.

By ALEX JOHNSTONEntertainment - Gananoque Commu-

nity Theatre is putting on a production of Footloose the Musical. Performances will take place Friday, April 18, at 7 p.m., and again on April 19 at 2 and 7 p.m. at the Firehall Theatre in Ganano-que. Admission is $15 for adults, $10

for children and students. Follow us on twitter @footloosegan for exclusive backstage content.

Gananoque has seen many controver-sial decisions come from our municipal offi ces in the past; And now, a new law is hitting our town that will most cer-tainly cause a stir, all the while prevent-

ing another kind of stir. Our town is now illegalising dancing. Not just twerking, or Harlem shaking, or just the dances that actually deserve to be illegalised, but everything. Fox-trotting is now il-legal. Waltzing is now illegal. Shim-mying is now illegal. Just the other day, an area youth was incarcerated when a chipmunk crawled up his pant leg, and law enforcement believed this to be a spontaneous act of rebellion.

Newcomer Ren McCormack and his mother have just moved from Chi-cago. Ren has decided to lead a youth resistance against the town for their anti-dancing legislation. “This isn’t just

a murmur, and this isn’t a joke; this is a full-scale uprising! It’s gonna take concentration and willpower... I’m just really hoping I don’t have to do it my-self... I don’t know if I can do it myself for much longer... But I don’t think I’ll have to. I think you’re gonna see a lot of people get behind this.”

Can Ren and gang stick it to the man, and come out on top? Can they get the public on their side? Will they leave jumping for joy or begging for a ticket out of here? Find out when Ren address-es the town council in this production of Footloose the Musical by Gananoque Community Theatre.

MOVIE: Captain America: The Winter SoldierSTARRING: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Samuel L. Jackson, Sebastian Stan and Robert RedfordDIRECTOR: Anthony and Joe RussoRATING: PG

Arts – It’s no secret I’m a huge comic book fan. I get as excited as the next guy when the latest comic book movie comes out, but I still try to main-tain some objectivity. Well prepare for frothing fan boy because objectiv-ity went out the window for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

After the events of New York, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) goes to work with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johan-sson) at S.H.I.E.L.D., but being a spy doesn’t sit well with Captain America. Fury tries to convince him they’re fi ghting the good fi ght, but Steve thinks S.H.I.E.L.D. is going too far. We’re giving up freedom for security.

As Steve is trying to fi gure out where he fi ts in Fury is attacked. Fury escapes and gets to Steve only to be shot by a mysterious assassin known as the Win-ter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). Steve is left with an encrypted fl ash drive, and a message from Fury to trust no one.

Steve returns to S.H.I.E.L.D. to try and piece things together, but they try to arrest him for withholding informa-tion. Steve escapes, but is labeled a fugitive. Something is wrong and Cap has to fi gure it out. Fortunately the su-per spy, Black Widow, is there to help the super soldier.

Steve and Natasha begin to uncover what’s on the fl ash drive, but it’s so much worse than they thought. Cap’s past has come back to haunt him. An old villain he thought long defeated has been hiding, planning, and grow-ing more powerful. If Captain America can’t fi nd a way to stop them millions of people will die.

The word awesome originally meant to be fi lled with awe. A feeling of wonderment that made you feel insig-nifi cant while at the same time opened you up to the majesty of the universe. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is awesome. Dazzling special effects, sweeping visuals, larger-than-life char-acters, and heart pounding action are hallmarks of the super hero fi lm. The Winter Soldier has all of that, but el-evates it to the level of art. Where The Winter Soldier really shows the evolu-tion of the comic book movie is in the writing. This isn’t just an action ex-travaganza this is an incredible story with depth, intrigue and a real sense of drama.

Making it all real is an outstanding cast. Samuel L. Jackson has forever redefi ned the character of Nick Fury. Scarlett Johansson is stunning as the Black Widow. You couldn’t fi nd a bet-ter fi t for Falcon’s wings than Anthony Mackie. Sebastian Stan is the perfect Winter Soldier, and Robert Redford blew me away. As for the Captain him-self? Chris Evans is Captain America.

DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT

Events - Thursday, May 1 will fi nd some well-known Canadians at the Brockville Convention Centre as celebrity guests for the #CanadianHe-roes event hosted by Senator Robert Runciman. Senator Runciman is the honourary chair of the “Caring for Our Community” Capital Campaign in support of the St. John Ambulance Brigade of Leeds-Grenville and Lanark. He is hosting this unique event to help raise funds for the St. John Capital Campaign.

Confi rmed celebrity guests include retired CTV Ottawa news anchor Max Keeping; Maple Leafs great Johnny Bower; Senator Jacques Demers, former Montreal Canadiens coach; and Canadian Women’s hockey veteran Jayna Hefford. Other ce-lebrity guests are being added to the roster and will be announced in subsequent media releases.

Anyone attending the #CanadianHeroes event will be given the opportunity to meet these great Canadians, get their autographs and have photos taken with the four guest celebrities. A special puck signing opportunity will help raise funds for the “Caring for Our Community” Capital Campaign; Jacques Demers’ foundation; Jayna Hefford’s golf tournament; and the Canadian Tire Jumpstart pro-gram.

Both a silent and live auction will have some unique items going to the highest bidders. Gour-met food prepared by the Brockville Convention Centre executive chef Victoria Beacock and bev-erages supplied by Magnotta Wines and Molson’s are all part of the event ticket.

“This is just a stellar lineup of special guests. Not only have these people reached the pinnacle of success, but they are genuinely good people, who are here to help a great cause,” said Senator Bob Runciman. “St. John Ambulance does a lot for the community. Attending this reception is a terrifi c way to show them how much we appreciate their contribution.”

The May 1 #CanadianHeroes event is the fi rst of six fundraising events in support of the “Caring for Our Community Capital Campaign”. On May 9, the Boardwalk Dental Care staff will be hold-ing their annual charity barbecue in support of the SJA Capital Campaign. “Broadway to Brockville Cabaret” will feature local artist Allison Hess and Broadway singer, dancer, and actor Robert Creigh-ton on May 31. From June 23- 29, Sunnidell Golf and Learning Centre will be the venue for the Riv-erside GM $1M Hole-in-One Challenge. On July 11, “An Evening of Art and Music at the Connell Homestead in Spencerville” will take centre stage. Finally on August 31, the Capital Campaign’s “Wrap Party” will be held at a yet to be determined venue.

David Dargie, campaign coordinator observed, “The May 1 #CanadianHeroes event hosted by Senator Runciman is a great way to kick off our fundraising events! Having these four great Ca-nadians coming to Brockville to support our local heroes, the volunteer members of the St. John Am-bulance Brigade, is such a good fi t. We will have some great fun that evening meeting these guest celebrities and bidding on many unique auction items including a Molson Olympic mini-fridge. “

Tickets are priced at $100 each with a $75 tax receipt. To encourage children and young people to attend this special occasion and meet some of our Canadian heroes, anyone under the age of 18 years can purchase a $25 ticket if accompanied by an adult. Tickets can be purchased by contacting St. John House in Brockville by telephone: 613-342-2974 or e-mail: [email protected].

By MARILYN WHITEEntertainment - The Fort Town Con-

cert Association brought Paris’ Latin Quarter to Prescott last Saturday with a fi ne performance of Puccini’s La Bohème on the beautiful new stage of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

Produced by Jeunesses Musicales Canada, this well-loved opera tells the tragic story of Rodolfo, a writer and his sweetheart Mimi, who is stricken with consumption. The stellar young cast of seven emerging opera singers brought to the stage well-trained voices, excellent command of the high notes, exception-ally strong ensemble work, and good acting skills.

This opera is characteristic of the “verismo” or realistic style of operatic tradition, which features everyday sub-jects. In the opening act set in students’ quarters, budding writer Rodolfo (tenor Michael Marino), and his chums, artist Marcello (baritone Jeremy Ludwig), musicians Colline (basso Jordan Col-lalto), and Schaunard (baritone Marc-Antoine d’Aragon) whoop it up as they try to keep warm and stave off hunger pangs in Rodolfo’s attic studio. When they are interrupted by the landlord Benoît (baritone Brent Calis), asking for his overdue rent, they ply him with wine, which loosens his tongue and he starts to describe his amorous adventures. Ex-pressing mock dismay because he is a married man, they throw him out with-out his rent. The singers conveyed the high comedy of this scene very clearly,

with beautiful control of harmony and sound.

In the following scene, they decide to repair to the Café Momus for a bite to eat, but Rodolfo stays behind and meets a half-fainting Mimi (soprano Karine Boucher), who had tottered up the stairs in search of a light for her candle. She collapses and drops her key in the dark, and as they search for it, their hands meet. Rodolfo expresses his delight in the charming “Che gelida manina” (Your cold little hand).

In their exchange of confi dences Mimi sings the lovely aria “Sì, mi chia-

mano Mimì” (Yes; they call me Mimi). And when he sees her bathed in moon-light, he falls in love and they sing the rapturous love duet “O soave fanciulla” (Oh lovely girl). The poignancy in this scene sets the tone for the fi nal act. Ten-or Marino’s cold did not mar the quality of his vocal expression, and Puccini’s lilting music began to tug at the heart strings.

In Act II, Rodolfo and Mimi join their friends at the Café Momus and the subplot develops. Marcello’s erstwhile girlfriend Mussetta (soprano Danielle Buonaiuto) appears on the arm of her new ‘sugar-daddy’ Alcindoro (Calis), and she proceeds to make Marcello jeal-

ous with an awesome rendition of the famous risqué aria “Quando m’en vo” (When I go along) also called Musetta’s Waltz. She sends Alcindoro to buy her a new pair of shoes, and continues to fl irt with Marcello.

When Alcindoro returns he fi nds the tables empty and himself left with a large bill. The soaring music and a nice sense of comic timing carried this scene, which is normally done with full chorus and an action-fi lled stage,

Act III begins in a tavern on the out-skirts of Paris. Mimi arrives looking for Marcello who now lives in less than perfect harmony with Musetta. Mimi complains of Rodolfo’s jealousy “O buon Marcello, aiuto!” (Oh, good Mar-cello, help me!) and says she wants to leave Rodolfo. When Rodolfo appears, she hides in the shrubbery and overhears Rodolfo tell Marcello that he and Mimi must separate as the life of poverty she has with him is making her disease worse.

Mimi reveals her presence, sings of her past happiness with Rodolfo and asks for an amicable separation in the beautiful aria “Addio! Donde lieta uscì” (From here she happily left). When they decide to remain together, Marcello and Musetta, still at loggerheads over the latter’s fl irtatiousness, join in the ex-pressive quartet “Addio dolce svegliare alla mattina!” (Goodbye, sweet awaken-ing in the morning!), the pairs convey-ing both reconciliation and frustration. This is ensemble singing at its fi nest, to grace the best opera houses.

The fi nal Act IV returns to Rodolfo’s

studio. Both pairs of lovers having sep-arated again, Marcello and Rodolfo sing the duet “O Mimì, tu più non torni” (O Mimì, will you not return?). The merry students are again fooling around, when Musetta arrives with a very ill Mimi. She is made comfortable while the oth-ers offer comfort. Colline leaves to pawn his overcoat to buy medicine. His aria “Vecchia zimarra” (Old coat) is sung with deep pathos.

The lovers are left to confess their love for each other in the haunting aria/duet “Sono andati?” (Have they gone?). The end comes quickly. After a fi t of coughing, Mimi feels warm, falls asleep and dies before Rodolfo realizes what has happened. He rushes to the couch, calling Mimì’s name in anguish, and weeps helplessly. There is not a dry eye in the audience.

This well-crafted production was a decided hit, as usual. And justly so as the cast brought to the stage soaring voices, crisp and powerful ensemble singing, great acting with a nicely balanced com-bination of humour and pathos. Anchor-ing it all was the masterful “orchestral” accompaniment on the church upright by Michel-Alexandre Broekaert, whom we were delighted to have back after his October performance with cellist Julie Hereish, and whom we expect to see again next season.

FTCA thanks the Ontario Arts Coun-cil for major support in presenting its concert series. MPP Steve Clark spoke of the importance of classical music in the cultural life of small communities.

The 2014/2015 concert season will open on Friday Sept. 26, 2014, with Falling for the Oboe featuring Vincent Boilard, oboe, and Olivier Hébert-Bouchard, piano. The early bird adult season ticket price of $50 will remain in effect until April 30, after which it will increase to $55.

Further details will be found on www.ftca.ca.

The Brockville Blazers Bantam Boys basketball team traveled to Hamilton recently to attend the annual Blessed Sacrament Basketball Tournament. The boys team was placed in Division 3 and faced some strong competition from teams all over the province (Toronto, Ottawa, Sarnia, Kanata and Guelph). The Blazers were in every game with very close scores and found that this team can compete with some of the best AAA schools around. Despite coming away with a 2-3 record, the team was able to solidify the bronze medal in a thrilling OT game against Kanata 75-70. Team members in the back row include: Luc Guenette (coach), Josh Hodge (coach), Brayden Jensen, Akshay Luhadia, Trevor Thompson, Blair Cross, Connor Hunt and Dave Kelly (coach). Team members in the front row are: Connor Kelly, Zak Dishaw, Mark Meeson, Carter Reil and Dylan Fortier. Zack Paradis was missing from the photo.

Events - That’s the theme of the Gar-den Party on Saturday, April 12 – to think about spring, at St John’s Angli-can Church, Prescott. The Garden Party event will feature two Master Gardeners who will answer gardening questions from 1 to 3 p.m.

Admission is free to hear advice from Andrea Robertson and Harvey Loyst of

Rideau 1000 Islands Master Gardeners. Robertson is a founding member of the group when it was known as Gananoque Master Gardeners more than 20 years ago. Loyst has been doing something in a garden since he was eight years old and is coming up to his 60th year. He is a member of the Brockville Horticul-tural Society, does work for a local land-

scaping company tending to a number of gardens they have under contract and was on the garden tour when he lived in Edmonton, Alberta.

In order to become a Master Gar-dener a person needs to complete an educational program that takes two to three years and involves volunteer time over these years as well. Robertson and

Loyst are very well qualifi ed to answer any questions you may have.

Browse the new Vesey’s spring and summer bulb catalogue and order your favourite bursts of colour for delivery at St John’s Church by planting season.

This program is a fundraiser for St John’s, helping the church to continue its community outreach such as volunteer-

ing at Wellington Elementary School, church services at Mayfi eld Retire-ment Residence and Wellington House and the annual summer Bible camp for kids. One half of all sales proceeds with Vesey’s remains with the church.

Try your luck on the raffl e of a basket of gardening supplies.

Most of us remember where we were at the time of major events, JFK’s assassination, the Beattles first time on Ed Sullivan, 9/11. I have another event to add to my list - March 4, 2014 the night I had a heart attack while watching Chicago Fire. Now, because of that date, I get to thank all the special people that made sure I’m still here to make more memories. First of all my thanks go out to my husband Garry Gallinger for his constant loving care, help and concern, our neighbour Tracey Mills for kicking her nursing skills into high gear when called, the paramedics Chris “squared” for their fast trip to BGH, Dr. Shenfield and her staff in ER, ER nurse Brittany and paramedic Scott for their assistance in the ambulance trip to KGH, Dr. Adams and his Cardio Unit Team, Dr. LaHaye, his residents and the many nurses in the CSU for their care, staff in the BGH - lCU on my return to Brockville, family, friends and neigh-bours for their many phone calls, visits, flowers, cards, fruit baskets, emails and especially their continued support to both Garry and I. Words cannot express how truly grateful we both are for the second chance I’ve been given.

THANK YOUBeth McLean

Wayne and I would like to Thank everyone for their prayers and acts of kindness during my journey with cancer for the last three plus years. Special thanks to our children Kirk, Karrie, son-in-law Tom, grandchildren Dylan, Jordan, Kody, Kacy, our extended family, friends, area churches and especially our home church The Pier. Your support and prayers have meant so much. We wish everyone a healthy and happy year. God Bless!

Gloria and Wayne Spence

The Brockville Blazers Bantam Boys team traveled to Cornwall this past weekend to partici-pate in the 12-team “AA” Eastern Ontario Basketball Association Championships. The boys went 1-1 in pool play, losing to the Ottawa Thunderbolts 40-58 and were victorious against Naismith 44-20. Placing the team second in their pool, the Blazers had to face the fi rst place team in another pool for the quarter-fi nals against the Kingston Impact #2. A thrilling game from start to fi nish, the Blazers continued on their winning ways defeating Kingston 58-54. The semi-fi nal game on Sunday was just as intense as the quarter fi nal, with the boys hav-ing to play the Ottawa Thunderbolts for a second time. Back and forth the entire game, the Blazers weren’t going to be denied a chance to get to the fi nals and beat Ottawa 52-46. Now in the fi nals, the boys ran out of gas and lost to the Cornwall Lions 19-44. The team will head off to Mississauga on the weekend of April 25-27 for the OBA Championships.

Sports – The Brockville Braves will look to reload when the Central Canada Hockey League holds its annual draft in Ottawa April 28.

Once again, the Gloucester Rangers will host the event at the Earl Armstrong Arena, 2020 Ogilvie Rd., a popular evening attended by all 12 CCHL management teams, scouts, parents and the region’s top hockey prospects.

The draft is for 1999 birth players from the HEO as well as any midget aged player participating in an HEO Midget or Junior league. Each team may protect and select a maximum of fi ve 1999 birth players in a 10 round draft, the balance being midg-et aged. Players from outside the HEO territory are not eligible and are free agents in the CCHL.

CCHL Commissioner Kevin Abrams is excited for the annual draft.

“Once again the Rangers under the guidance of Paul Jennings and his tremendous group of volun-

teers have agreed to host this important event,” he said.

The league was looking at moving to an on-line draft as per the other junior leagues but Abrams is pleased to be hosting the CCHL’s in-person. “We’re fortunate that we can bring all our teams and prospects under one roof, our teams wanted to do it. We know it differentiates us and realize how important it is to our drafted players.”

The draft will start at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 28, 2014 and can be viewed live and in person, or on line with Fast Hockey www.fasthockey.com through the CCHL site www.centraljunior-hockeyleague.ca. Selections are also streamed on the CCHL website with the Rinknet Widget. The CCHL Network @CCHLNETWORK will cover the event and the full network of social media plat-forms @CCHLTier1 and communication will fea-ture information, interviews and commentary.

Photo by DOREEN BARNESPrior to leaving the ice, the two Wild teams, one Wild and the other named Wilder (for the tournament) posed with their coaches of the day. On the left side of the team was Greg Swrjeski and on the opposite side was Chris Stott. These women truly enjoyed the tour-nament and are looking forward to next year. Girls Incorporated of Upper Canada was the winner in this week-end’s fi fth annual TD Canada Trust Women’s Hockey Tournament held at the Brockville Memorial Civic Centre. Sixteen teams of women from all over came to play in this round robin event. There were four divisions with four teams in each. Skills ranged from beginner, recreational, competitive and open. These adult females exempli-fi ed the meaning of Girls Inc., which is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold.

Sports – The team of Larry Burrows (skip), Dave VanBridger (vice), Jeff Peters (second) and Kevin Sayeau (lead) are the 2013-14 Brockville Country Club Men’s Curling Champions. Strong play from the front end (Sayeau and Peters) and consistent play from the back end (VanBridger and Burrows) led the team to a convincing 7-3 win in seven ends over Steve Gill (skip), Jon O’Reilly (vice), Brian Lawless (second) and Colin Marriott (lead). The Burrows team fought their way to the fi nals by defeating teams by Roger Rhodes and Warner Bis-chof last week in extra games, and then by defeating Steve Gills’ other team, with Jeff Pe-ters, Mo Gariepy and David Beamish in a semi-fi nal match. The Gill team made it to the fi nal game by defeating Al Kennedy, Steve Wilson, Grahame Barnett and Kevin Sayeau in their semi-fi nal. With this win, Burrows defended his BCC Men’s Curling Title winning the men’s curling, along with Jeff Peters, two years in a row. Congratulations to all of the men’s curling teams for another great season of curling at the Brockville Country Club. Seen here are the winning team from left Kevin Sayeau, Jeff Peters, Dave VanBridger and Larry Burrows.
