Events – Join the Fight Against Hydro Rates April 4 in Brockville – that is the call-out from co-organizers Lana Brun-shaw and Brian James Kahnt.

The local protest is one of many taking place across On-tario that day – all to take a stand against what the name spells out – hydro rates. In Brockville, the protest takes place on Block-house Island, starting at 12:30 p.m. and running until 5:30 p.m.

Organizers are inviting one and all from across Leeds & Grenville to take part. They point to the fact 432 (so far) have noted

their participation on the event’s Facebook page. Three thousand invitations have gone out.

The day will include enter-tainment, refreshments and a visit from MPP for Leeds-Gren-ville Steve Clark who will give a speech that day.

“I’m not surprised people across Ontario are organizing rallies to speak out against the government’s mismanagement of the electricity sector and how that’s put hydro rates through the roof,” Clark commented about the upcoming rally. “I’m proud Brockville and Leeds-Grenville

News - “Happiness is an inside job,” said Kathie Donovan, who brought her powerful message of inspiration to those in attendance at the third annual International Women’s Day event at the Brockville Memorial Centre, March 6.

“Inspiring Change” featured the annual Spring Showcase as well as dinner and speaker. It was put on by the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre in conjunction with the Brockville Women in

Business. Donovan, a television

producer, radio host, as well as journalist, is best known for her years co-hosting CTV’s popular Regional Contact. A sold out record of 128 people attended to hear Donovan speak about her book ‘Inspiration in Action A Woman’s Guide to Happiness’ and enjoy the evening.

She opened by saying the women in the room stood on the shoulders of their predecessors - those who fought for women’s right to vote, and women’s rights. She noted she has had 35 plus

years in broadcasting, having left CTV in 2012 when the company changed the business model for Regional Contact.

She originally started out with a love for radio when only eight years old. Calling it a “seed” for community service, her love of broadcast was born.

As a youth, she was sent to a convent for four years, where she learned many things. Perhaps most importantly, she went in a follower, and came out a leader. She had so little self confi dence;

This event in-cluded tree tapping, children’s face painting, wagon rides, rope making, taff y eating and a display of tools used dur-ing maple syrup season years ago. Hot dogs, homemade chili and refreshments were available. Here, owners Lynda Halladay holds the bucket while Greg drills the hole to put the spout in a maple tree to gather sap. Each year the Tapping Out Party takes place in either Lanark, Frontenac or Leeds and Grenville County – or elsewhere across the Ottawa-Carleton area of Eastern Ontario. There are about 70 maple syrup producers located in these regions.

are part of this grassroots ini-tiative to force the government to understand how soaring hydro rates are hurting families and costing Ontario jobs. This is the number one issue in my offi ce and I’ve been proud to speak out loudly and often on behalf of the people I represent about the urgent need to get hydro rates under control.”

The protest will be a peace-

ful one, Brunshaw emphasizes. Even though emotions may run high and sentiment is strong about the issue – there will be nothing hateful or harmful take place.

“In today’s economy many of us are struggling to get by. Now due to numerous hydro increases, the outrageous de-livery costs, the debt retire-ment and the HST, the struggle has just gotten harder,” notes the event’s Facebook page. The page encourages residents to send letters to their MPPs in order to seek out help.

Brunshaw applauds the Ontario Ombudsman’s (Andre Marin) investigation into the provincial utilities customer

service and billing procedures. She hopes Marin, “keeps dig-ging.”

Kahnt also criticizes Smart Meters, saying they “Are faulty at best,” and should be replaced.

Other issues the protest will highlight include delivery charges. “Delivery charges to rural areas they are getting hit astronomically,” Kahnt noted.

Between usage and deliv-ery charges, Brunshaw notes her hydro bill for a small one bedroom apartment is almost as much as her rent.

Given present circumstanc-es, the two want to get the mes-sage through to Hydro One to stop increases to hydro rates. In a December press release from Clark, it was noted that hydro rates – which have already increased 56 per cent on their (Liberal government) watch – will rise another 45 per cent by 2020. The release also noted when the Liberal government was elected in 2003; the aver-age residential electricity bill in Ontario was $88. Today, that fi gure is $138 and it will rise to $170 per month by 2017.

Organizers will be handing out pamphlets at the protest, and posters will be placed in local businesses and public lo-cations to advertise the event ahead of time. For those plan-ning to attend, Brunshaw and Kahnt ask participants to fash-ion their own signs from mate-rials such as Bristol board, to bring along with them.

Tiziana Baccega Rosa, Sr. Media Relations Advisor with Hydro One, answered several questions with regards to the issues at hand. When asked about the cost of hydro, and that many feel the costs are very high, “Hydro One be-lieves all ratepayers deserve fair, reasonable and afford-able rates and we have made

a commitment to our custom-ers to hold our portion of the total bill, the delivery charge, to the rate of infl ation. We are sensitive to the impact of rate increases on our custom-ers and we aim to balance the need to control costs with the necessary investments to keep our system strong and able to reliably deliver the electricity our customers count on,” she answered.

Hydro One rate “applica-tions undergo rigorous public regulatory review through the Ontario Energy Board. This is an open and transparent pro-cess that allows customers the opportunity to participate.”

With regards to the use of Smart Meters and Kahnt’s charge that they may be faulty, the utility explains, “Hydro One along with all local elec-tricity distribution companies in Ontario was mandated to install smart meters as part of a province-wide program.” They also explain sample testing of meters over the past half a de-cade has shown they are “over 99.9 per cent accurate.” How-ever, if a customer believes there is a problem with a meter, a Measurement Canada verifi -cation can be requested.

Hydro One says with re-gards to various charges on bills, the “Delivery” portion is Hydro One’s piece of the bill. This is the portion of the bill, which, “goes to pay the costs associated to fulfi ll Hydro One’s function, moving elec-tricity from where it is gener-ated to where it is used.” And, “Our rate applications undergo rigorous regulatory review and approvals through the Ontario Energy Board. This is an open and transparent process that allows customers have the op-portunity to participate.”

A pie chart supplied by Hydro One, notes delivery charges go to preventing out-ages via tree trimming, replac-ing worn-out equipment (42 per cent), customer service (nine per cent), upgrading the system (30 per cent) and other costs.

she says she actually wet the bed until 13 years of age.

While in Ottawa, she attended McGill University, but dropped out when an opportunity in radio was presented to her. At the time CKCU FM, was launching and she wanted to try it. “Find what you love and work hard,” she said. “It’s not really work when it’s what you choose to do. Happiness has never shown up in a truck at my front door.”

From CKCU she went to Chez106. There she had a daily program called In the City. Suggesting to the crowd they need to be prepared for opportunity as well as have a grateful heart, she pointed to the Law of Attraction. What you think and focus on you end up attracting. The thoughts of today manifest themselves tomorrow.

It was J.J. Clarke who fi rst invited her to CJOH. When the offer came back around a second time, she took it. She did the weather with Clarke and entertainment with Max Keeping.

“Fear will prevent us from bringing our dreams to life,” she said. “We need to be alert, but we can’t let it run our life.”

She urged the audience to call on courage in the face of fear.

With Regional Contact, again, she had no experience in taking on such a task. “I had no clue. No one helped me. They gave me the space to hang

myself or fi gure it out,” she recalled. “I faked it till I fi t in.”

She urged the audience to appreciate when things are tough, as someday there will be a useful lesson come from those times. “It is good for us to challenge what we think we know and what we think we can do,” she emphasized.

Asking questions and listening to the answers is important, she said. “Too often we are just waiting for an opportunity to speak.”

At the end of her talk, she broke some key points down and noted they are: fi nd what you love and work hard; be prepared for opportunity; say yes even when you are scared; appreciate everything; ask questions and listen; hang with like-minded people; make stuff happen; be open to receiving support; always choose happiness. For further information on her courses, about Donovan or her book, please visit www.kathiedonovan.com.

Deanna Clark, representing her husband, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, explained the evening and International Women’s Day is an important opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contributions women make to the economy.

Opening the evening’s offi cial events, Wendy Onstein, manager for the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre, and past president of the BWB, told everyone earlier that night, “You will be amazed and inspired before the night is out.”

Carveth Care Lodge – Our Family Caring For Your FamilyLeaving one’s home and moving into a retirement resi-

dence is a big change, but for those fortunate enough to be relocating to the Carveth Care Lodge in Gananoque, it’s a welcome one.

Carveth is a retirement ‘home’ in the best sense of the word, for its residents are not merely housed there; they live there. It is a home away from home, where staff and fellow residents soon come to feel like an extended family.

In fact, the Home’s motto is ‘Our Family Caring for Your Family,’ and to staff and management, these are more than just words on a page.

“It’s not just our motto,” says lodge manager Phyllis Lorbetskie. “It’s definitely something we live by.”

Carveth Care Lodge has a great deal to offer a person who may need a more supportive living arrangement but doesn’t want that support to come at the cost of his or her autonomy and personal freedom.

“They’re ready to give up some independence,” says Lorbetskie of her residents, “but not all of it. They’re still very independent.”

If anything, living at Carveth Care Lodge can give residents an opportunity to be even more self-directing than they might have been living at home, often alone and under the burden of increasingly onerous household chores. Relieved of the day-to-day drudgery, residents can indulge their interests and follow pursuits for which they might not otherwise have had the time or energy.

“You can spend your time enjoying yourself and not doing laundry or cleaning the house,” says Lorbetskie.

The spacious one-storey building is handsomely turned out, its halls and common areas appointed with smart décor and comfortable furnishings, and the entire

building is kept in immaculate condition by the staff. Outdoors, there are delightful gardens and colourful

flower beds, an inviting courtyard and a veterans memo-rial garden. Some of the rooms even have patios.

Residents have a choice of four different room con-figurations—small and large private, suites and deluxe suites—and all rooms include a private bathroom and a thermostat for individual climate control.

Professional nursing staff are on the premises 24 hours a day and there is a medical center on site. Other medical and health professionals attend the lodge fre-quently, among them, physiotherapists, foot care nurs-es, massage therapists and chiropractors. Pharmaceuti-cal deliveries are made to the lodge six days a week.

There is also a hair salon and a small library. A larger, travelling library also stops by regularly. Religious ser-vices are offered in a charming little on-site chapel, where representatives from several denominations take turns celebrating their ministry.

And there is never a shortage of things to do in and around the lodge. There are always activities going on,

cards being played or performers coming in to keep residents entertained, and special events are organized throughout the year.

“It’s all what you make it,” says Lorbetskie. “You can be as quiet as can be or as active as you want.”

Meals at the Lodge would be the envy of most res-taurants and are cooked from scratch three times a day in the Home’s own kitchen. Residents are served in a bright and inviting dining room, where they are waited on at their tables as they would be in a commercial es-tablishment.

“The meals are wonderful here,” says Lorbetskie. Going to the lengths it has to accommodate not only

the needs but the wishes of its residents has made Carveth the first name in retirement living, but behind the success of Carveth and its sister facility in Amher-stview—the Helen Henderson Care Centre—is another name: Gibson.

Both Carveth and Helen Henderson have been owned and operated since their founding 40 years ago by the Gibson family. The current generation is the third to take the reins of the two homes, and both owners can often be found walking the halls of the Carveth Care Lodge, mingling with its residents, giving and getting feedback and making it clear to all that Carveth is a family busi-ness in more ways than one.

“The staff and residents really do become a small ex-tended family,” says Lorbetskie.

On March 22, the Carveth family is inviting the pub-lic in for a tour and information session, where people will have the chance to see in person what it is Carveth does that has earned it such a sterling reputation and has placed it among the first rank of retirement com-munities.

Museum hosts “Open Drawer” volunteer information session

News - Now that the Brockville Mu-seum’s “Open Drawer” project is well under way, it is now time to ask the local community for help.

This project not only aims to better manage the museum’s extensive collec-tion by creating an electronic database, but more importantly for the community at large, will allow the public to explore the museum’s collection online. “Pro-viding such a glimpse into the museum’s holding can only entice more people to visit the museum in person,” says direc-tor/curator Natalie Wood.

The museum is looking for volun-teers who might be interested in helping

with the conversion of its paper records into digital ones.

Anyone who is reasonably computer savvy, detail oriented, and has an inter-est in things historic is encouraged to come to an information session on Tues-day, March 25 at 3 p.m. at the Brock-ville Museum. The information session will provide an overview of the “Open Drawer’ project as well as provide some insight on the inner workings of the mu-seum.

For further information, please con-tact Alison Dingledine at the Brockville Museum at [email protected] or 613-342-4397.

News - The Sue MacLaurin Leadership Memorial Award was created by Brockville Women in Business to honour the memory of Sue MacLaurin. MacLaurin was an active member of the BWB who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in November 2013. She was an inspiration, a role model and a friend

to many of the women in this group.Although MacLaurin lived in Brockville

for a short period of time, she became part of the community becoming active in both the Brockville Women in Business and the Brockville Women’s Network. She im-pacted everyone she met and because of

this the BWB honoured her memory during the BWB Business Showcase and the In-ternational Women’s Day celebration. This award was presented to Shelli Warren whom the nominating committee felt best emu-lates MacLaurin’s qualities, March 6, at the Brockville Memorial Centre.

MacLaurin was career oriented, inclusive, adaptive, a risk taker, fearless, a connector, inspirational, authentic, a doer, a leader, a teacher and had great sense of humour. She was a wife, a mother, a sister and a very dear friend to many. Warren possesses all of these qualities. She started her career with Proctor and Gamble 25 years ago, much like MacLaurin who worked for many years for Northern Telecom. Both she and MacLaurin worked in the organi-zational development area teaching teams how to be more effective in their work and with each other.

Warren is a leader in the community working hard for charities, taking risks, sharing new ideas and connecting others to build success.

She has been involved with Girls Inc. of Upper Canada by heading their board and helping them through a transi-tion period. At the Brockville Women’s Network because of her work schedule she may arrive in her work boots and jeans showing others that everyone has the right to be included and not judged.

She discovered a woman’s networking group in Corn-wall and along with MacLaurin decided to introduce it into Brockville to bring women together on a personal and professional level.

As a member of the Leadercast team she does whatever it takes to get things done. This includes writing blogs, creating newspaper ads or wiping tables at Boston Pizza as a celebrity server.

Warren and MacLaurin shared a passion for helping women who are in need and to this end they became in-volved with the Leeds & Grenville Interval House helping out with fund raising activities.

Neither she nor MacLaurin was ever afraid to “get their hands dirty” and always managed to have a ton of fun do-ing it.

The winner of the fi rst annual Sue MacLaurin Leader-ship Memorial award is an infl uencer, a leader, a teacher, a brave risk taker, an inspiration, a mom, a wife and a friend.

News - In celebration of Inter-national Women’s Day the Leeds and Grenville Small Business En-terprise Centre is pleased to hon-our Sia Syrios of CJ’s Banquet Hall with their annual Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was created to recognize a woman who has been in business for many years and to celebrate her achievements as a business leader in the community. Last year’s award was presented to Pauline Marshall of Pauline’s Lingerie.

This year’s recipient arrived from Greece in 1957 and worked as a nanny in Montreal. She mar-ried her husband Chris in October of 1959 and they moved to Brock-ville in January 1960 where they purchased the Brockville Coffee Shop located on Buell Street with John and Jean Kalivas. Along with starting this business venture Sia worked at the Brockville General Hospital in the cafeteria.

In 1961 she and Chris purchased HB Wrights restaurant on King Street in Brockville and changed the name to Relax Restaurant while her brother operated the Prescott Coffee Shop. In 1962 they decided to lease the Brockville Coffee Shop and she left her employment to work full time at Relax with Chris. Her daughters Toula, Lori and Lou-ise were born in ‘65, ‘68 and ‘69 during which time she continued to work in the restaurant. Sia’s volun-teer work with the Brockville Fig-ure Skating Club was one of many

activities she did to support her ac-tive girls and in 1975 the decision was made to close the restaurant on Sunday’s to allow more time with the family.

In 1986 her husband Chris died very suddenly, leaving her to run

the business and continue to raise their girls. It was at this point that she began her volunteer work with Palliative Care at St. Vincent de Paul Hospital.

She decided in 1987 that she would start a catering business out

of Relax Restaurant and through that discovered a need in the com-munity for a Banquet Hall. Sia, began looking for property and fi nancing but was turned down by three banks. Undeterred she ap-proached National Trust and the manager took a leap of faith and lobbied for fi nancing for her.

Her search for a location to build a banquet hall was decided and the location was a lot at the end of Chel-sea Street. Her dream became real-ity when CJ’s opened their doors in November of 1989. This year CJ’s will celebrate 25years in business, having participated in thousands of families’ special occasions along with many events from the busi-ness community. Sia now works in partnership with her daughter Lori and son-in-law Luke. Sia still goes to work each day and continues to prepare her signature items.

Sia’s other accomplishments include being honoured with the Helen Keller Fellowship Award from the Brockville Lions Club for outstanding Lionism. She has supported co-operative education so students can gain experience in the hospitality industry and con-tributes to numerous charities. In her spare time she loves to travel, spend time with her family and watch the Food Network.

The award was presented dur-ing the International Women’s Day dinner and Spring Showcase, held at the Brockville Memorial Centre, March 6.

Lifestyle - Goodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on! Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivoli-ties!” And how often were we told “Eat every last scrap on your plate...if you don’t you were taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian!” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure that they lived in Arnprior!

Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money, and wasn’t absolutely nec-essary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. And yet, we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 30’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling out-side rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house.

Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Some-times it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. And if I had stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly...in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molas-ses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fi zzed up, often pour-ing out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night,

of course, because the result of this spe-cial treat was many trips to the outside privy!! My sister Audrey called it “our winter clean out,” but to me, it was a treat.

And then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “who would like a piece of oven toast?”, we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven.

The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat

Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fi ngers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast.

There always seemed to be lots of home-made bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we fi ve kids were forever fi ghting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat.

And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into lit-tle squares before piling them on a din-ner plate in the middle of the table, mov-

ing the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would van-ish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugar-fi lled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy.

My sister Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill.

When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my fi nger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the fi nger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in his own

In spite of Depression there were still many treats to enjoy

LETTER TO THE EDITORProtect yourself from fi nancial fraud

DEAR EDITOR:Every year, millions of Canadians are targeted by fraud regard-

less of their age, education level, income, profession or ethnicity. March is Fraud Protection Month in Canada and the Financial

Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) is joining the Competition Bureau and several other organizations in raising awareness about the issue of fraud. It’s an ideal time for Canadians to fi nd out how to recognize, prevent and report fraud should they become a victim.

It’s easy to fall for a fi nancial scam. Criminals use creative tactics

to catch potential victims at different stages of their lives. Whether you are starting your fi rst job, moving out on your own, maintaining a home or living in retirement, be mindful of the potential scams that could target you. Protect your assets, property and identity by recognizing and reporting the warning signs to the proper authorities and by visiting itpaystoknow.gc.ca to learn more.

Editorial – On March 8, women throughout Leeds and Grenville celebrated on International Women’s Day.

While many may think the day is a fairly recent tradition, the fi rst women’s day actually dates back to May 3, 1908 in Chicago. It has often been perceived as a way to combat anti-sexism and encourage civil rights, but in some areas of the world, it became a way for men to express their love for women, not unlike Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day.

In today’s society, it has become an inspiring move-ment, an encouraging sign that the social, political and economic achievements of women should be applaud-ed. Whatever the reason, we should make this day one to honour all women in our lives.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, according to the United Nations, is ‘Equality for Women is Progress for All’ which speaks to helping facilitate the advancement of women in all aspects of the world. It’s not just a celebration, but a message to keep fi ghting for equal rights for women.

In this region, the Leeds and Grenville Small Busi-ness Enterprise Centre partnered with the Brockville Women in Business for the International Women’s Day dinner and Spring Showcase. Women were highlighted through the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award and the Sue MacLaurin Memorial Leadership Award.

A Women’s Wellness Day was also hosted to honour International Women’s Day – Inspiring Change Less is More. Hosted by the Victim Issues Coordinating Com-mittee of Leeds and Grenville, the event focused on refl ecting on one’s own life, looking at nutrition and budgeting.

These are just two of many events that took place throughout the area and across the country.

News — Brockville General Hospital is happy to announce the return of its highly suc-cessful “Volunteen” program.

Based on the original volunteer program for teens that ran from 1990 to 2005, the new Vol-unteen program will give area youth the chance to volunteer in many areas within the hospital, allowing them to experience the working hos-pital setting fi rst hand. The Volunteen program

is once again hosted by the Brockville General Volunteer Association (BGVA) in partnership with St. Lawrence College’s Child and Youth Worker program.

“Brockville General Hospital and our Volun-teer Association have many learning experienc-es to offer the youth of our community who are interested in the various aspects of healthcare,” says Cheryl Marshall, manager of volunteers

for the BGVA. “We look forward to working with the young people of the community, ages 13 to 18, which will bring a new vitality and younger component to our Volunteer Associa-tion.”

The BGVA marks 125 years of service to Brockville General Hospital and the commu-nity in 2014.

activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into lit-tle squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold.

Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big fl at pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow”, a spe-cial treat on a Saturday night, or Sunday after-noon. Mother of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house. Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother

brought in in the big roast pan! And the hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, let harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fi ngers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store!

I shared a special treat with my beloved sister Audrey, that no one else in the family seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dug-out cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-ham-mer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the

Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy! Even my hateful brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits!

Those long ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long be-fore cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

World Water DayDEAR EDITOR:

The Global Water Crisis has dramatically deepened. The stage is being set for drought on an unprecedented scale (California), mass star-vation, and the migration of millions of refu-gees leaving parched lands in search of water.

While the world’s population grows at an alarming rate, water is becoming an increas-ingly scarce commodity. But for some this is a chance to make big bucks. The fi lm “Bottled Life” documents the booming business with bottled water.

“Bottled Life” will be shown on World Wa-ter Day, Saturday, March 22, at 2 p.m. at the

Brockville Library meeting room. Sponsor is the Council of Canadians Brockville Chapter. There will be a discussion and refreshments. There is no charge.

Trillium Foundation grant helps open museum to the worldBy DOREEN BARNES

News – The highlight of the Friends of the Brockville Museum Annual Gen-eral Meeting (AGM), on Feb. 22, came in the way of a Ontario Trillium Foun-dation grant which will allow the Open Drawer project to proceed.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark accompanied by Ontario Trillium Foun-dation Quinte, Kingston, Rideau Grant Review Team chair Betsy Heatley an-nounced the $16,100 grant and pre-sented a plaque to the Friends of the Brockville Museum, along with curator/director Natalie Wood and Open Drawer project manager Alison Dingledine.

The funds are being used to hire a project manager for eight months to implement the Canadian MINISIS soft-ware, train volunteers and to start the transition from paper records to elec-tronic ones.

The overall cost of this project is $43,100 with the Friends of the Brock-ville Museum contributing the differ-ence.

Heatley mentioned that one of crite-rion of the Ontario Trillium Foundation is to help build healthy vibrant commu-nities.

“One of the key ways that we do that is to support the volunteering sector,” said Heatley. “It’s so wonderful that the Friends of the Brockville Museum has had such a key part in the development of this initiative. I think this is the fi rst time that we have increased our grants to the Arts and Culture Sector.”

As well Clark was pleased the Ontar-io Trillium Foundation was supporting

the Brockville Museum’s Open Drawers project.

“With the museum’s outstanding col-lection soon to be just a click away,” said Clark, “the story of Brockville’s past

At the Friends of the Brockville Museum Annual Gen-eral Meeting on Feb. 22, a presentation was made by (left to right, front row) Ontario Trillium Foundation Quinte, Kingston, Rideau Grant Review Team chair Betsy Heatley and Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark of a $16,100 grant to Brockville Museum director/cu-rator Natalie Wood, Friends of the Brockville Muse-

um co-chair Doug Smith and Friends’ board member Shirley Avery. In the back row looking on are Friends co-chair Jean Ouellet, Open Drawers’ project manag-er Alison Dingledine and Friends board member El-liott Parker. Missing from the photo is Friends board member Doreen Barnes.

will be easier for people here at home and around the world to access.”

“This much anticipated initiative will allow the Museum to make a collection of 29,000 photographs and over 6,000

objects accessible online,” said Wood. “The Open Drawer project will have a huge impact on not only our local com-munity, but anyone around the world that has an interest in Brockville’s his-tory. MINISIS will dramatically reduce the amount of time required to locate items within the museum’s collection allowing for much greater effi ciency for

the public and museum staff alike.”Additionally, Clark mentioned On-

tario’s Museum Day at Queen’s Park.“This week at Queen’s Park was very

exciting,” said Clark. “On Thursday, we had an Ontario Museum Day and we had the Ontario Museum Associa-tion. I had a meeting in my offi ce with the City of Kingston, Bruce County and also from the Diefenbunker. They were at Queen’s Park to look for a secure and stable funding for charitable museums, art galleries and historic sites. I have to tell you they received a great response by the parties at Queen’s Park.”

He quoted from their presentation that in 2010, $5.3 million or 48 per cent of Ontarians visited a museum or art gallery.

Friends of the Brockville Museum co-chair Doug Smith indicated that the Friends are grateful to the Ontario Tril-lium Foundation for the funding as the project would not have proceeded, with-out their assistance.

“Ultimately the Museum will have a much stronger online presence which will not only allow far greater num-bers of people to be engaged, but will strengthen our sense of community identity,” stated Smith. “This will ulti-mately contribute to the economic well-being of our community as people from outside Brockville come to realize that Brockville’s rich heritage makes this a city well worth visiting.”

As the AGM continued, Smith in-dicated that the Friends’ Board would welcome anyone who may be interested in serving.

News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark has called on the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to improve the way Ontarians who suspect they have Lyme disease are di-agnosed and treated.

In a Member’s Statement on Thursday, March 5, Clark said the health-care system is fail-ing Ontarians with the disease, including many in Leeds-Gren-ville – which has been identi-fi ed as a provincial hotspot for the ticks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme.

“OHIP won’t cover the cost of an effective test to confi rm a person has Lyme disease, so patients are losing valuable time by enduring multiple tests when they should be starting treatment,” said Clark. “We know the number of Lyme cases in Ontario is rising and I think the Minister of Health

and Long-Term Care needs to act with some urgency.”

Clark made the statement in response to the stories he’s heard from constituents whose lives have been devastated by the effects of the disease. He spoke in the Legislative As-sembly about the experience of one of those people, Mallory-town resident Karen Brown.

“It’s tragic to see these once healthy people suffering be-cause they can’t get a proper diagnosis and the necessary treatment. We know that the earlier treatment for Lyme dis-ease starts, the better chance there is of reducing the long-term health effects.”

Clark argued OHIP fund-ing for a more effective test wouldn’t necessarily cost the health-care system more. “It’s about reallocating our resourc-es.”

In addition to funding a more accurate test for Lyme disease, Clark said the prov-ince must take a closer look at

whether the current treatment protocol – typically a two- to three-week course of antibiot-ics – is effective.

Local woman has story published in recently released Chicken Soup for the Soul editionBy MARLA [email protected]

Lifestyle – A Mallorytown wom-an, Tanya Ambrose, has had a short story published in the recently re-leased “Chicken Soup for the Soul: O Canada The Wonders of Winter.”

How fi tting with the winter weath-er experienced this season that her story was on the ice storm of 1998 and how she and her neighbours found a way to make it through. Ap-propriately titled, ‘Surviving the Ice Storm’, her story appears nestled be-tween pages of other similar Cana-dian tales. Some have to do with the Canada’s great pastime of hockey, others on skiing, skating, barefoot water skiing the Rideau on Christ-mas Eve, winter weather – all in the comforting Chicken Soup style.

While this year’s weather has been wild – even with the freezing rain which assaulted the area be-fore Christmas, power was not lost for Ambrose. However she and her husband did without power for a week back in 1998. Water became a challenge – living in the country water comes from a well – however electricity drives the pump which brings water into the home. This led to other issues such as washing and bathrooming. But with the kindness

Photo by MARLA DOWDALLTanya Ambrose, of Mallorytown, is seen here with a copy of “Chicken Soup for the Soul: O Canada The Wonders of Winter.” Her story about surviving the ice storm of 1998 was chosen to be one of the 101 stories contained in this book.

of a neighbour, many people made connections through the event. Am-brose’s story is a touching look back at an ice storm which meant many things to many people.

She actually had sent her story into Chicken Soup for the Soul, in 1998. But it was just last spring she received a call – apparently they had lost her contact information. One of the editor’s employees tracked her down. In fact, she didn’t even have the story fi le anymore herself. It had been on an old computer.

Ambrose is a retired teacher, and enjoys writing short stories, travel-ing, as well as babysitting her two granddaughters. Her husband John’s work was in land use planning and then environmental impact studies for engineering projects and moni-toring them. This gave the family an opportunity to travel to locations such as Kenya and Nepal. One of the fi rst stories she wrote was while in Kenya, she was around 35-36 years old and it was about her experience living there.

She has won awards for her writ-ing throughout the years, as well as had work published.

While her writing isn’t consistent she says, she is motivated by dead-lines.

Car owner plagued with emission light staying onLifestyle - “Hi BrianI’ve been plagued with this yellow

emission light staying on (my 2004 BMW 645ci) for several months now and have so far thrown almost $500 to solve the problem with no resolution. The sequence is – as soon as I start the engine the large yellow engine light comes on, then in about 10 seconds it goes off and the smaller yellow engine light comes on in the upper section of the dash and stays on as long as the en-gine is running. Both mechanics have advised that all the components of the secondary emission operation are okay and have cleaned the hoses to preclude a possible clogging of the hoses. They have also cleared both air injection pipes at the rear of the cylinder head. In ad-dition they told me the trouble code that kept coming back was 2060. They also checked secondary air pump operation, the air injection hoses, connectors, and valves and they reset the computer.

The yellow increased emission light popped right back on after I left the shop. I plan on getting some quality gas additive for the next time I have to fi ll my tank and see if that helps clean the engine a bit.

Can you offer any further steps I can suggest to the mechanic?”

ThanksKFrom the info you’ve supplied it

seems your techs have been working on the BMW’s secondary air system (an air injection system designed to improve

engine performance and emissions). The 645 of your era had more than its share of problems with this system, usu-ally due to leaks in any number of the hoses, lines, fi ttings and connectors that are routed in the engine bay and under the engine’s intake manifold. However the code 2060 refers to an electrical fault in the air injection system, not necessar-ily a hose or connection problem.

An electrical fault almost always sparks a check engine light that comes on right after start up as the vehicle’s various control computers immedi-ately run a series of self-tests on vari-ous components and systems. For every fault code there is a diagnostic chart that leads the tech through a series of tests and inspections to narrow the cause. For code 2060 it would most likely involve testing certain wires and connectors for continuity and power and to test any electrical activators, valves, or pumps for operation.

When you get into a problem like this it’s critical that your shop has experi-ence in these systems on your particular make and model and access to up to date diagnostic charts and wiring diagrams.

For a BMW 645 the single resource with all of that is usually a BMW dealership. I doubt if changing your fuel type will help with this problem (although these BMW’s like their premium fuel).

“Hello, I look for and enjoy your article ev-

ery week. Thank you for all your help and information. Now, I have a ques-tion that I can’t seem to fi nd the answer to. I have a 2003 Toyota Echo, auto-matic with about 93,000+ kilometers on it. Do I have a timing belt/chain on it? Does it have to be changed about now - around the 100,000 K. mark? I’m told that when this is done that the serpen-tine belt(s) and the water pump should be changed as well. I have looked in the books that came with the car and can’t fi nd an answer to my questions. Somewhere, I did fi nd that these belts should be changed, but they mentioned other 4 cylinder cars and not the Echo. Of course, I can’t fi nd that again. I had never heard of a timing belt/chain by anybody before I had a Miata and the Miata owner’s club pounded it into us to get this done by the 100,000 mark. “

Thank YouMWThanks for the question and reader-

ship. Your 2003 Echo is not equipped with a timing belt but rather a timing chain and it is not scheduled for replace-ment at any particular time or mileage. These chains are considered non-ser-viceable, lifetime units.

Those vehicles that are equipped with timing belts usually require their replacement anywhere from 100,000 to 160,000 km. Often timing belt engines are zero-clearance engines. On these types of engines if the timing belt breaks with the engine running or cranking to start, the cylinder head valves will col-lide with the tops of the pistons with di-sastrous and expensive results. It’s not uncommon to have to replace the entire engine if this happens. The vehicle owner’s manual is the best resource to determine if a particular vehicle is tim-ing belt or timing chain equipped and at which interval the belt requires replace-ment.

If you have any questions, opinions,

or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to [email protected] or directly to [email protected] listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Leeds-Grenville MP supports move to grant veterans access to federal public service jobs

Submitted photoThe Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals held a “Na-tional Cupcake Day” on Monday, Feb. 24. The residents of Carveth de-cided to do their part with all proceeds raised going directly to the local Gananoque Humane Society. Through the sale of cupcakes, pup-cakes, jumbo cup-cake, crocheted catnip cupcakes and cupcake hat, bird suet and cupcake shaped cookies they were able to raise $400. The Ganano-que Humane Society has told Carveth they were instrumental in put-ting them over their goal of $3,000. Seen here, accepting the money, are back row Christine Witkowicz, Humane Society volunteer and Lou Rasmussen, Carveth resident. Front row, Arlene Massey, Humane Soci-ety volunteer and Dorothy Kaddie, residents council president.

News – Gord Brown, Member of Parlia-ment for Leeds-Grenville, recently noted that he supports an announcement from Ju-lian Fantino, Minister of Veterans Affairs that moves veterans to the front of the line when it comes to hiring qualifi ed Canadi-ans for federal public service jobs

The consolidated Veterans Hiring Act builds on previous government commit-ments as well as new ones outlined in Eco-nomic Action Plan 2014 to help veterans fi nd meaningful employment after their time in uniform is complete.

In recognition of their service to Cana-da, Canadian Armed Forces personnel and honourably released veterans will be given more access to federal public service job opportunities. As outlined in Economic Action Plan 2014, the federal government is proposing changes to the Public Service Employment Act to enhance employment opportunities in the federal public service for veterans.

“Veterans have skills, training and expe-rience that make them exceptionally strong candidates for federal public service jobs,” explains Brown in a press release. “These new measures give priority hiring and new employment opportunities in the federal

public service to Canadian Armed Forces personnel and veterans.”

Beginning a new, meaningful career is an important part of a successful transition from military to civilian life when Cana-da’s men and women in uniform conclude their service.

Qualifi ed veterans who have at least three years of military service will be giv-en preference in advertised, external hir-ing processes for fi ve years after the date of release. Additionally, veterans and CAF personnel with at least three years of mili-tary service will be allowed to participate in advertised, internal hiring processes for a period expiring fi ve years after their re-lease date.

These new measures build on the feder-al government’s recent announcement that veterans of the CAF who have medically released due to a service-related injury or illness will get the top level of priority con-sideration for job openings in the public service.

This means eligible veterans whose mil-itary service is cut short by a career-ending injury or illness suffered in the line of duty will be given statutory, priority access in the federal public service. Additionally, the

duration of priority access for all medically released CAF personnel would be extend-ed from two years to fi ve years.

All proposed changes are expected to come into force in 2014-15.

Since 2012, the federal government has also been working successfully with cor-porate Canada and other organizations to help veterans fi nd employment in the pri-vate sector.

On average, each year, approximately 7,600 Canadian Armed Forces Regular and Reserve Force personnel leave the military, including approximately 1,000 who medically release. The average age of CAF regular and Reserve Force personnel at release is 37.

Through the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, injured veterans can get fi nancial assistance of up to $75,800 to help them re-train for new career opportunities.

Veterans taking part in VAC’s vocation-al or rehabilitation programs may receive the Earnings Loss Benefi t, which ensures a veteran will continue to receive a fair in-come while they focus on their health or re-training.

Talking about epilepsy:

The importance of speaking upNews – Editor’s note: As part of Epi-

lepsy Awareness month, the Epilepsy & Seizure Disorder Resource Centre of South Eastern Ontario is highlighting the importance of talking about epi-lepsy.

According to Epilepsy Ontario, 1 in 100 Canadians have epilepsy and 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their life-time, making it important for everyone to understand what epilepsy is and what seizures are. When people take the time to talk about how epilepsy and seizures have affected their lives and the lives of the people around them, misconceptions are challenged. Talking about epilepsy provides the opportunity to supply cor-rect information about seizure fi rst aid and to let people know how common the condition is.

The Epilepsy Support Centre in Lon-don, Ontario, provides these 10 reasons for people who have epilepsy to talk about their condition:

1. Raise awareness.2. Educate others and bust myths.3. Teach others that people living

with epilepsy deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

4. Help others realize that people with epilepsy are just like everyone else.

5. Let people who have epilepsy know they are not alone.

6. You will encourage others to self-disclose.

7. You may fi nd out that other people you know also live with epilepsy.

8. Reduce stress. You’ll no longer spend energy on protecting your secret.

9. Feel more comfortable with friends, colleagues and acquaintances by building open and honest relation-

ships.10. Honour how epilepsy has helped

defi ne your character.“One of the things I hear most when

speaking to clients with epilepsy is how alone and isolated they feel,” stated Hanna Kitchingman, youth coordinator at the Epilepsy Resource Centre. “Peo-ple with epilepsy are sometimes scared to openly talking about their epilepsy for fear of further isolation or lack of understanding from the community.”

When a person speaks up and talks about his or her epilepsy there is in-creased understanding of what epilepsy is and how it is so unique for each in-dividual. This March, during Epilepsy Awareness Month, everyone who is af-fected by epilepsy is encouraged to talk about the experience.

To help get the conversation started, the Epilepsy Resource Centre is hosting a Purple Pancake Community Breakfast in Gananoque on Saturday, March 22.

It will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 175 Stone St. S. Everyone is welcome to attend to learn more about epilepsy. Admission is by donation.

An important mandate of the Epi-lepsy Resource Centre is to provide education workshops about epilepsy and seizures to further increase community understanding. “We offer workshops tailored to the needs of the group, for all ages. These sessions are offered at no cost, and enable participants to educate themselves on the topic of epilepsy and seizures to help bring epilepsy out of the shadows,” stated Kitchingman.

For more information about epilepsy, to book an epilepsy presentation for your school, business, or community group with the Epilepsy Resource Cen-tre, or to learn more about local Purple Day events, please contact the organiza-tion at 613-542-6222 or visit www.epi-

Keon and Me author in Brockville March 25 for special presentationEvents - Dave Bidini has been de-

scribed by Ron Maclean, host of CBC’s iconic Hockey Night in Canada as, “One of the great voices of hockey, and music, in our country.”

The Thousand Islands Writers Festival is pleased to present Bidini at Brockville Collegiate Institute Auditorium on Tues-day, March 25 for a talk on his latest book, Keon And Me: My Search For The Lost Soul Of The Leafs. The evening begins at

7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at Leeds County Books, 73 King St. W. in Brockville or at the door.

Bidini has written 12 books, and in 2011 his, On a Cold Road, was named a fi nalist for Canada Reads, CBC Radio’s national books contest. He is the only per-son to be nominated for a Gemini Award for work in television, a Genie Award for work in cinema and a Juno Award for work in music. Many may know him as a

founding member of the rock group, The Rheostatics.

His second book, Tropic of Hockey, about playing hockey in China, Dubai and Transylvania, was named one of the Top 100 Canadian books of all-time, and es-tablished what would become the writer’s template: travel, sports and music written from an experiential perspective.

“We are so happy to have Dave appear in Brockville,” said Russ Disotell, Thou-

Submitted photoDave Bidini

sand Islands Writers Festival chair. “He is an extraordinarily talented writer, who just happens to write about hockey, our national passion.” Bidini’s latest book, Keon an Me: My Search For The Lost Soul Of The Leafs, is described as, “Part ode to a legendary hockey player, part memoir, Keon And Me captures what we all cherish in the game we love and the importance of the innocence we cling to long after the cheers have faded.”

Told in two narratives - one from the point of view of the young Bidini grow-ing up in Toronto in the early 70’s and one from the perspective of the man looking for his absent hero - Keon and Me tells not only the story of a hockey icon who has haunted Toronto for decades, but of a life lived in parallel to Keon’s. It’s the story of cultural change, an account of the tribu-lations of the NHL’s most beloved (and most despised) franchise in the decades since Keon left under a cloud, and most of all, it is a story of growing up, with all the wisdom and sadness that imparts.

Keon And Me is a book that has a num-ber of different layers to it. It is a coming of age story. It is a chronicle of the life of

a hockey fan in early 1970’s Toronto. It is a story of confronting bullies. Finally it is the story of Dave Keon, the soul of the Leafs.

Music and Performing Arts Hall of Fame adds six new membersEntertainment - The members of the

Brockville and Area Music and Perform-ing Arts Hall of Fame have recently added six new members.

The six are music teacher and perform-er Lynn Barkley from Cardinal, tuba play-er Matt Wilson, stage manager Marianne Bimm, actor Harold Hess, the late Art Wood who was a fi xture at the Brockville Arts Centre and the Fabulous Bel-Airs.

They will be inducted in a special mu-sical evening March 27 at the Brockville Arts Centre. The Red Carpet show is at 6:30 with the induction to follow at 7 p.m.

Barkley has been sharing her love of music and her performing abilities with

audiences of all ages from Brockville to Upper Canada Village for many years. Barkley thinks nothing of packing her keyboard in her car to accompany a solo-ist or group, and when there is no elec-tricity, packing her accordion instead. Whether teaching children, conducting the Red Hats, or playing in churches, she can be counted on for her enthusiasm and love of music.

Wood came to the theatre in 1919 and just never bothered to go home. He was often referred to as Mr. Theatre. His Forte was lighting, as he was a trained electrician and a licensed fi lm projectionist. He vol-unteered at the Old Arts Centre, and built and painted sets. In 1960, when the Arts

Centre was converted from a “B” movie theatre, he and his family donated time and money to the cause and purchased state of the art lighting and equipment. He was a fi xture at the BAC with his dog Shammie and the ever present cigar.

Bimm has become a fi xture at the Brockville Arts Centre. As a performer, she has appeared multiple times in the Li-ons Club Music Festival as well as numer-ous productions at BCI. A life member of the Brockville Operatic Society, a found-ing member of the Riverside Singers and as a volunteer stage manager for the BAC, she has donated literally thousands of hours of time to the performing arts com-munity of Brockville

As a musician, Wilson is one of the fi n-est tuba players one will ever encounter. With both a bachelor and master’s degree in music, his musical feel and stylistic interpretations are always consistent and appropriate to every show. He donates his time and talents regularly to numerous charitable events, plays in the Brockville Concert Band, the St. Lawrence College Music Theatre Pit and is an active mem-ber of the Wall Street United Church Praise Band.

The Fabulous Bel-Airs formed in 1986. This nostalgic rock and roll band was the fi rst band to perform at Riverfest. With broad audience appeal, they have taken on a key role as fundraisers for various orga-

nizations and even local families (recently for the family of a child bone marrow re-cipient). They have demonstrated talent, longevity and outstanding community involvement.

Hess has been performing since the age of four. He was a member of the North Grenville District Collegiate drama club and performed while at Queen’s Univer-sity as well. He joined the Brockville Operatic Society in 1993 and since then has performed in over 15 shows, was a member of the board and in 1995 joined the Brockville Theatre Guild. He contin-ues to be a frequent performer in church pageants, New Year’s Eve concerts and the Sunday in the Park series.

Meet some “New Faces” as talented young performers take the stageEntertainment – Once again, the St. Lawrence College Music

Theatre – Performance program is proud to present its newest group of talented young performers in New Faces 2014, an an-nual show featuring an extravaganza of song and dance. For the fi rst time, New Faces will have two performances – a matinee at 2 p.m. and an evening performance at 8 p.m. at the Brockville Arts Centre on Saturday, March 8.

The evening will feature the entire fi rst year class who are ea-ger to perform onstage at the Brockville Arts Centre. For many students, New Faces provides the opportunity to perform in front of a large audience for the fi rst time.

“New Faces has been a pure joy to work on and the students have been true collaborators in this process. The performance will take the audience on a journey through many eras and styles of musical theatre, featuring such shows as Crazy For You, Car-

ousel, Sweet Charity, We Will Rock You, and Mama Mia,” said Janet Venn Jackson and Patrick Burwell, the New Faces 2014 directors. “We have all worked together very hard ‘Putting It To-gether’. Be prepared for a high energy, fast-paced romp with some well-loved favourites, and some exciting surprises as well.”

“It’s been really great working on New Faces under the careful guidance of Patrick and Janet; they know exactly what to do to produce a great show. There are some big things lined up that ev-eryone in the audience will recognize and enjoy, like Big Spender and Mama Mia, and other memorable numbers,” said Brandon Timmerman, a fi rst-year Music Theatre – Performance student who lives in Brockville and graduated from TISS before attend-ing SLC. “The cast members are wonderful; we have students in the program from cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Yellowknife, and Calgary, and International students as well. I’m

excited for the Brockville community to see the show and get to know each of the cast members and be entertained by their individual talents.”

Ticket prices are $20 plus HST for adults and $15 plus HST for students and are available from the Brockville Arts Centre at 613-342-7122 or www.brockvilleartscentre.com. Special St. Lawrence College student “rush tickets” to the performance of New Faces at 2 p.m. or 8 p.m. are available for only $10, taxes in-cluded. Students can purchase a discounted ticket at the Brock-ville Arts Centre box offi ce by presenting their St. Lawrence Col-lege student ID card.

New Faces is sponsored by the 1000 Islands Community De-velopment Corporation and the Friends of Music Theatre.

Exhibit showcases “untapped” creativity of emerging artists

Entertainment – St. Lawrence College is pleased to present the third annual “untapped” art show, Untapped 3: The Art of Now, at the Marianne van Silfhout Gallery on the Brockville campus from March 7 to April 11. The Untapped show dis-plays the work of emerging artists who have not completed formal training in the visual arts. For many of the exhibiting artists, Untapped is their fi rst chance to showcase their art to the community in a gallery.

Artwork included in this exhibit was selected by a vol-unteer jury of local artists who examined the submissions based on formal elements of art including, but not limited to, line, composition, colour, subject matter and overall skill demonstrated. More than 70 pieces of art will be on display by emerging artists from Brockville, Prescott, Kingston and Cornwall, including local high school students from St. Mary Catholic High School, TISS and BCI.

“It’s an honour for us to launch our third annual art show for aspiring artists, Untapped 3: The Art of Now. Each year I’m extremely impressed by the exceptional calibre of the

artwork we receive,” said Andrew Hamilton, professor and visual and creative arts – fi ne arts program coordinator. “Our role here at St. Lawrence College in Brockville is to reach out, promote and support these aspiring artists through our Fine Arts Program. With prizes and bursaries totaling $1,000, we hope to provide even more incentive to make this Un-tapped show the most successful event to date.”

Exhibiting artists include: Adelle Leonard, Amber Tat, Anneka Perry, Audrey Martin, Brigitte Lalonde, Brittany Bourdon, Cameron Donsberger, Celine Hardy, Clara Torode, Daniel Lamothe, Dante Russell, Domenica Howley, Emily Severson, Even Henry, Hailie Phillips, Jade Thompson, Jes-sara Long, Jonah Pruner, Kara Bush, Kyle Enright, Lauren Mantha, Lindsay Hudson, Mallory Phillips, Maria Libunao, Maya Saringan, Jennessa Envoy, Mike Laking, Nathan Go-nyou, Nesse McCartney, Noah Pruner, Nwadiuto Eheh, Ra-chel de Koon, Randi Kerr, Sarah Lumsden, Sophie Tzekakis, Tanya Henriquez Desbarats, Tracy Schruder, Victoria Beck, and Zach Boucher.

Business — Housing starts in Canada were trending at 192,236 units in Feb-ruary compared to 191,513 in January, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

“The trend in housing starts remained stable in February for the seventh con-secutive month. Since August 2013, the trend has essentially remained in the 185,000 to 195,000 range, with month-to-month variations generally of two per cent or less. This is in line with CMHC’s outlook calling for a stable housing market in 2014,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a

complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for consider-able swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some sit-uations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples seg-ment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 192,094 units in February, an increase from 180,481 in January. The SAAR of urban starts increased by 7.5 per cent in February to 175,584 units. Multiple urban starts increased by 13.3 per cent to 116,458 units in February while the single-detached urban starts segment de-creased by 2.4 per cent to 59,126 units.

In February, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Atlantic Canada and Quebec, they were stable in Ontario, and decreased in the Prairies and British Columbia.

Rural starts were estimated at a sea-sonally adjusted annual rate of 16,510 units.

As Canada’s national housing agen-cy, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmen-tally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing mar-ket reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

On Sat-urday, March 8 to celebrate International Women’s Day in Brockville, Staples asked local organizations to set up a display in the front of their store. Taking part were Sheconnex, Brockville Women in Business and May Court Club of Brockville. In addition Barley Mow provided some treats.

Photo by CONAN de VRIESA few dozen people were on hand last Sat-urday at Prescott’s Leo Boivin Community Centre to watch Hockey Night in Canada on the big screen and to wait anxiously for the second intermission, when it was an-nounced that the Fort Town had been se-lected one of the top 16 teams in the Kraft Hockeyville contest. After the announce-ment, Mayor Brett Todd congratulated lo-cal campaign organizer Chris Veltkamp for the achievement, one which now entitles Prescott to $25,000 in arena upgrades. Voting for the next round to determine which communities would be among the top four closed at midnight, Monday, March 10. Third and fourth place fi nishers receive $50,000 in arena upgrades while second place fi nisher gets $100,000. The grand prize is also $100,000 in arena up-grades, a community feature on CBC and the hosting of a National Hockey League exhibition game.

The General Assembly of the United Nations has declared 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming (IYFF). During the event, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization will aid in the multilateral colla boration of gov-ernments, international development institutions, farmers’ organiza tions, and non-governmental orga nizations involved in this sector.

The goal of the IYFF is to raise the profi le of family farming and small-holder farming by focusing the world’s attention on its signifi cant role in allevi-ating poverty, improving food security, managing natural resources, protecting the environment, and achieving sustain-able development.

OBJECTIVESThe 2014 IYFF is an attempt to repo-

sition family farming at the centre of agricultural, environmental, and social policies on national agendas. To do

this, the organizations involved will be identifying gaps and opportunities to promote a shift towards more equal and balanced development. The 2014 IYFF will promote discussion and coopera-tion at the national, regional, and glob-al levels. It will also increase public awareness about the challenges faced by smallholders and identify means to support them.

ACTIONSThe 2014 IYFF will focus on three

lines of action to be implemented in the context of national agreements.

1. the promotion of dialogue in poli-cy decision-making processes

2. the identifi cation and dissemina-tion of positive results from existing family farming policies

3. communication, advocacy, and outreach

Family farming: a real necessity

The year 2014 has been designated International Year of Family Farming by the General Assembly of the United Nations. This year-long event aims to raise the profi le of family farming because of its important role in alleviating poverty, providing food security, and protecting the environment.

Family farming includes all family-based agricultural activities in connection with rural development. Family farming is a means of organizing all kinds of food or fi bre production, including agriculture, for-

estry, fi sheries, pastoral (breeding), and fi sh farming. By nature, it relies on the labour of family members, both women and men.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY FARMINGAcross the globe, in both developing

and developed countries, family farming is the predominant form of agriculture in the food production sector. Family farm-ing is essential, as it ensures world food security. It also preserves traditional food products, while contributing to the world’s agro-biodiversity and the sustainable use of

natural resources. This type of farming can even stimulate local economies, especially when combined with policies aimed at social protection.

KEY FACTORSAccording to the UN’s General Assembly,

several key factors contribute to the devel-opment of family farming:

• agro-ecological conditions and territorial characteristics• environmental policies• market access• access to land and natural resources• access to technology, extension services, and fi nancing• demographic, economic, and socio-cultural conditions • availability of specialized education

Have you ever heard of sea buckthorn ber-ries? Even though they are a long-time favou-rite in Europe and Asia, they have only recently appeared in North America. While the shrub is usually used here as a windbreak or as a way to prevent soil erosion, most people are still unfamiliar with the surprising properties of the berries.

Sea buckthorn berries are yellow-orange fruits, about the size of a cranberry. And, like the cranberry, their tart taste can be quite a sur-prise. The sea buckthorn is a thorny perennial shrub whose leaves resemble those of the olive tree. It requires well-drained soil and lots of sun, but little fertilizing. As a plant native to Siberia, it is very resistant to cold temperatures.

NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIESWhy cultivate the sea buckthorn? Its nutri-

tional properties are known to be very benefi -cial. Its berries are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, and they are packed with antioxidants, caro-tenoids, fl avonoids, and sterols. On top of all that, they can be enjoyed from hors d’oeuvres to dessert!

MARKETSThe berry’s oil is good for the skin, which

is why sea buckthorn is used in the making of nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and medica-tions throughout Europe and Asia. The berries can be processed into juice, jams, cereal bars, alcoholic drinks, and teas and used as a tonic for stomach and intestinal ulcers, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Here on our shores, chefs and cosmetics companies are getting on the bandwagon with many new products con-taining sea buckthorn berries.

SEA BUCKTHORNAn exciting new natural product

Have you ever heard of teosinte? Originating in south-west Mexico, teosinte, or “grain of the gods” in the Aztec language, grows in the wild and is a small plant that develops ears similar to corn. Teosinte still grows wild in many moun-tainous areas of Central America and includes a variety of species. It belongs to the grass family, as does its familiar descendant, corn. Nowadays, most specialists agree that corn is a domesticated version of teosinte.

The domestication of teosinte happened over 5,000 years ago. Since then, corn (Zea mays) has defi nitely developed several agronomic attributes, but it has also lost its ability to survive in the wild. Spreading towards what is now the United States and northeastern North America, more than 300 varieties of corn were already being cultivated by the time the plant was brought to Europe in the fi fteenth century.

This distant ancestor of corn, which today is often considered to be undesirable, still exists in the wild in the Mexican Sierra and Guatemala. However, wild and peasant-grown varieties of teosinte are in danger of

extinction. Research done by the University of Massachusetts indicates that 75 to 90 percent of these ancestors of today’s corn have disappeared from areas where they used to fl ourish.

Today, corn is both the most cultivated plant in the world, feeding a good part of the planet, and is the plant which best symbolizes globaliza-tion and genetic manipu lation. Currently, the two lar gest corn producers are the United States and China, producing more than 60 percent of the global crop.

The benefi ts of sea buckthorn berries can

be enjoyed in food products, cosmetics,

and medications.

BY DOREEN BARNESLifestyle – Although it may seem like

the pre-made or prepackaged ready for the table food is cheaper, making meals at home can stretch the food dollar.

Registered Dietitian Meena Tipper of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit feels that purchasing less ex-

pensive cuts of meat that can be marinated are just as tasty as the prime cuts.

Adding a basic marinade of vinegar, lemon juice, canola oil to pork shoulder, lamb shanks, outside or inside eye of round, blade or shank steak, beef brisket, chicken pieces (legs, thighs) or whole chicken adds fl avour while it tenderizes.

Before putting chicken in marinade, re-move skin to cut down on fats.

A basic meat marinade from Eat Right Ontario is comprised of the following which makes three quarters of a cup:

¼ cup or 60 mL low sodium soy sauce

¼ cup or 60 mL

vegetable oil½ tsp or 2 mL garlic power or two

minced garlic cloves¼ cup or 60 mL lemon juice or orange

juiceMix all the ingredients in a bowl with

a whisk. In a sealed container put meat

and marinade. Refrigerate for at least four hours (or overnight). Remove meat to cook and discard marinade. Do not reuse marinade.

Another great tip is to have one meat-less meal a week.

Think protein-rich choices such as len-tils, black beans or chickpeas. Add chick-peas or lentils to pasta and vegetable sal-ads.

Some meat alternatives are curried chickpeas and rice, a vegetable cheese omelet, vegetarian bean chili, egg salad sandwiches, tofu stir-fry or a lentil casse-role or soup.

“When you are using things like black beans in tacos or kidney beans or chick-peas in a chili, you are incorporating these foods into foods that you already like,” suggested Tipper. “Chickpeas will take on the fl avour of what you are cooking it with. If you put lentils, chickpeas or beans into chili or a spaghetti sauce, it’s something that you are already adding spices to.”

Tipper suggests making your own spa-ghetti sauce as ready-made can be costly and are high in fat, sugar or salt.

Spaghetti sauce is easy to make with lightly sautéed onions and garlic in a little olive or vegetable oil. Add low sodium canned tomatoes and simmer. Season with pepper and herbs (basil or oregano) and to this add beans, chickpeas or ground beef. Plus vegetables, mushrooms, zucchini, chopped spinach, carrots or green peppers can be added. What a simple meal.

Freeze any extra leftover sauce for an-other meal.

Root vegetables less expensive“If you have a large family, usually you

can get a large bag of potatoes for not a lot of money,” said Tipper. “If you buy the three pound of carrots versus the baby car-rots, you get a lot more carrots. Rutabagas tend to be less than a dollar a pound.”

Vegetables can be roasted, mashed, baked and get a lot of nutrients for less money. Use as a side dish or eat as left-overs.

“When you are looking at frozen vege-tables, they are just as nutritious as fresh,” indicated Tipper. “Make sure there are not any added sauces which can be high in saturated fat and sodium.”

Some tips for shopping:• know what your family likes to eat,• plan meals around foods on sale,• make a weekly menu,• use coupons,• shop at grocery stores or supermarkets for cheaper prices and variety,• do not shop when hungry,• buy in season, or if out of season pur-chase frozen or canned.

For more budget friendly menus, recipe ideas, tips for grocery shopping or plan-ning meals, talk to a registered dietitian for free by calling 1-800-660-5853 or visit the www.healthunit.org or go directly to www.eatrightontario.ca.

Photo by JOE MORINSports – The girls hockey team from St. Mary Catholic High School in Brockville won the Leeds-Grenville championship in Kemptville last Tuesday with a shutout win over St. Michael Catholic High School. Back row (left to right) are Mary Rose Young, Ron Kargus (coach), Olivia Dix-on, Alex Marshall, Kayla Burton, MacKenzie Richards, Alex Daoust, Hi-lary MacDonald, Kayla LeTouzel, Sierra Selleck, Mr. Tobin. Middle row (left to right) are Courtney Gonyou, Tali Barclay, McKenzie Ryan, Brook-lyn Patrick, Cori Klein Gunnewick, Paige Dorey, and Lindsay Hudson. In front is Danielle McDonald.

Sports - The ‘Scorpio Line’ was red hot throughout the fi rst half of the season but the second half has been a struggle for the trio. Until now.

Two games ago the ‘Velvet Fog’ Rob Carter snapped out of his prolonged slump with a three-goal performance. Last week centreman J R ‘Buckleys’ Ryan rippled the corded igloos four times to lead the Island City Blackhawks to an 11-6 victory over the Gananoque Gry-phons at the ‘Barn on Broadway’.

“Wow going eight games without scor-ing was both different and frustrating for me. I was getting some good looks they just weren’t fi nding the back of the net. Tonight I felt really good out there and I had all kinds of great scoring chances. Playing with Wayne and Robbie makes it easy. Tyler (Markell) also set me up for a couple of tap ins tonight. We have a good bunch here,” Ryan said.

The win was the Hawks’ 23rd of the season and only their eighth on home ice. Fortunately for the Island City lads all their remaining three games are at home.

Perhaps the biggest highlight for the Blackhawk players was watching the senior statesman Jeff ‘Youngblood’ June score his career high 20th goal of the year.

“It’s nice to see Wayne, Rob and JR start scoring again, that gives us a one two punch, two hot scoring lines, Juner getting his 20th tonight too was very spe-cial. If anybody deserves it, it’s Juner. He works so hard and so it’s nice to see him get rewarded for all his hard work. His line has really strong chemistry right now, they seem to play for each other,” Blackhawk management stated outside the team’s locker room.

“Yeah for sure it was really cool to see Youngblood score his 20th. He’s one

of our leaders and for him to do what he does especially with his body hurting the way it does. That’s very inspirational for the rest of us, he leaves everything on the ice. My only goal now for our last three games is to help Wayne score 20 goals this year, he’s at 17 now. He’s been such a strong playmaker for our line it would be nice to see him reach that plateau,” Ryan continued.

The Broadway Avenue Boys escaped the fi rst period up 3-2, and were up 3-1 at one point. So why is that such a big deal? Well the Gryphons scored three un-answered goals to capture their fi rst and only lead of the game 4-3 just fi ve min-utes into that second.

That may have been the wake-up call the Blackhawks needed. They wouldn’t be able to mail it in against this hungry Gananoque group.

“Once we were down, it’s like we fl icked a switch. From there we went on to totally dominate the Gryphons scoring six times in that second alone. They have a great goalie and some pretty skilled and hard working players over there. The Gryphons could have easily left town with the win,” management babbled on.

Heading to the third up 9-5, the Black-hawks shut down the hard working Gry-phons and didn’t allow the visitors a chance to steal their momentum.

Besides Ryan’s four goals, which is his second four goal game of the season, his ‘Scorpio Line’ linemate Carter also con-tributed with a pair. Each member of the ‘My Generation Line’ scored, June, Daryl ‘Stumpy’ Whiteland and his nephew ‘The Rookie’ Jordy Whiteland. ‘The Rubber-man’ Jason Perkins and the ‘Smilin As-sassin’ Tyler Markell had the other Black-hawk markers in this one.

On the injury front, the team is getting healthier, Fred ‘Bubbles’ Dunnington is

still out with an upper body injury and is listed as day to day. ‘The Ageless Won-der’ Peter Culp has been cleared by team doctors to return and he is expected to be in the line up for this Saturday evenings game. Culp has been out for 10 weeks with what the team is calling an upper body injury. “We are getting closer to ic-ing our actual team and that hasn’t hap-pened too much this season,” manage-ment said in an optimistic tone.

Next up for the Island City lads at the ‘Barn on Broadway’ is the Kemptville Classics, puck drop is 6 p.m. not 9 p.m. This game marks the debut of Tyler ‘Tiny’ Dunnington in goal for the Hawks.

Ryan nets four, Blackhawks win 11-6 over the Gryphons
