EMC News – “Everything can be found (on the river) according to the spirit of your request,” – Joseph Conrad (adapted).

This was one of the quotes displayed on the Brockville Arts Centre stage screen on March 22 as 1000 Islands RiverQuest pro-vided an update to partners and the public.

The all-day session was held to give everyone a glimpse where the RQ is at the moment, as well as to strategize about where things are heading.

A video shown at the start of the presentation that morning described the area. While being called the 1000 Islands, there are a “million things” to expe-rience. And that is the premise behind the RQ, which has been an initiative of the Aquatarium, to develop a “regional campus”, the gateway to all that the St. Lawrence River offers, noted the McLellan Group’s Lyne Roberge-Henderson.

The McLellan Group is be-hind the promotional efforts for the Aquatarium. RQ is a “corner-stone program” for it, designed to both brand the area and to help those visiting the area appreciate all the region has to offer – help-ing tourists and visitors to plan activities for two and three-day visits. The 1000 Islands RQ cov-ers an area from Cornwall and Massena to Sackets Harbor and Kingston.

Involved in the RQ, both now and in the future as the project

moves forward, are museums, castles, arts centres, and more.

The Aquatarium itself will feature a plethora of activities and exhibits for children and adults alike, according to a video presented that morning on the project’s progress. The facility will focus on the history and cul-ture of the area providing enter-tainment in a way that will make visitors want to come back.

The Aquatarium will feature an expansive aquarium which visitors will be able to walk un-derneath, viewing fi sh right over top of their heads, otters, a pilot house, tunnels, domed theatre, ship simulator, and much more. The soft opening is planned for June, while the offi cial opening should take place in 2014.

Simon Fuller, developer of Tall Ships Landing and the founding member of Aquatari-um, told the audience his idea for RQ came about after learning of the Yukon Riverquest, a similar venture tying tourism in commu-nities together with the goal of attracting visitors. And further, to entice those visitors to not just stay for a day, but longer.

He compared the Aquatarium to a church without a congrega-tion, but the 1000 Islands RQ as the vision and heartbeat, saying there is no limit to what can be done to advance the causes in this area.

Roberge-Henderson explained phase one for RQ has been the developing of a website http://

By LORRAINE PAYETTEEMC Business - Under a

strengthening spring sun, Ganan-oque’s BIA gathered to let every-one know about their exciting plans for the upcoming season last week.

“We’ve just fi nished our bud-geting, and we’ve set aside some money to do some special, spe-cial events for this year,” said Lisa Bird, Executive Director of the BIA.

Coming up on March 30 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. is the ever popular Easter egg hunt for children 7 years old and under. Those aged eight and up will

have a scavenger hunt to partici-pate in. Admission is free, and they need to bring their own bas-kets. Kids will get a chance to search for the elusive eggs and bring home a special treat from the bunny.

The BIA is also partnering with professional investments to do a Seniors’ Symposium. To be held on April 26 at the Legion, it’s an opportunity for seniors to become reacquainted with the downtown core.

“A lot of the businesses that I’ve been talking to are either going to provide discounts, or perhaps set aside a seniors’ day,”

said Bird. “It’s still in the works, but it’s going to be a fun day for the seniors to come out. They’ll have an opportunity to listen to a lawyer who’s going to be talking about wills and power of attor-ney. There’s a health care com-ponent involved. We’re even having a line dancer coming, and having a great fun icebreaker for the seniors. Most of them are far more active than we tend to think they are.”

This is just a start to the fun fi lled events in store. On Satur-day, June 22, there will be the

Gananoque Secondary School hosts second annual Community Dinner and fundraiser

EMC Events – Area residents can tempt their taste buds April 18 with delectables ranging from candied, maple-crusted salmon to wild berry mousse while supporting their local high school.

The Gananoque Secondary School (GSS) Parent Council is organizing its second an-nual Community Dinner and Entertainment Fundraiser to run from 6 – 9 p.m. in the school gym. Guests can enjoy an evening of fi ne dining while assisting the council to raise funds to enhance the educational experience for GSS students. The goal is to raise at least $2,000 to support the council’s work.

Money raised will help the council offset the cost for fi eld trips, help lower activity fees and provide other benefi ts to GSS stu-

dents, said Becki Goff, a member of the par-ent council team organizing the dinner.

“We believe that helping the students of GSS is very important,” said Goff. “We want all of our students to have the opportunities that others have and to be a vital part of our community.”

The event will include a dinner, silent auc-tion, and entertainment by students from the school. The meal, to be prepared by Chef Doug Hill and the school’s hospitality pro-gram, will include: spinach, egg and mush-room salad; vegetable antipasto; penne pasta milanaise; candied, maple-crusted salmon; gruyere and mushroom-stuffed chicken; and wild berry mousse.

Throughout the evening, students from the

school will perform for guests, while they bid on a variety of silent auction items. Goods and services up for bid include: a Tassimo coffee maker, gift certifi cates to local salons, the chance to be a morning show co-host on 99.9 myFM, tables, funky chairs, motorcycle helmets, bakery and grocery certifi cates, and much more.

Tickets cost just $15 each, or $45 for a family of four, and must be purchased in advance. They are on sale until April 12. Tickets can be purchased at the school or at Hair Facts Salon, located at 410 King St. E. in Gananoque.

Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

hotly anticipated second annual Juke Box Trivia.

“We’ll be holding this at Moroni’s West Side in Gananoque,” said Bird. “It’s kind of like a ‘Name that tune’, where we will play a song clip and ask a question, then teams of six to eight comprised of family, friends or coworkers will work together to answer the questions.”

In addition, people can look forward to a small midway coming to town to coincide with the Pirate Days Festival from July 11-14, the second annual Gourmets of Gananoque Food Festival on Aug. 11, and a full week of spooky goings on from Oct. 19-26 as they lead up to Halloween.

Gourmets of Gananoque will showcase the different restaurants in town, as well as bringing in different cultural dancers and ac-tivities.

And the Psychic Expo is sure to thrill any-one with a brave and adventurous spirit.

“Saturday, Oct. 19 to Saturday, Oct. 26 is full of eerie and spooky events,” said Bird. “The BIA kicks off the week with a Psychic Expo through the downtown core. The Fire Hall Theatre will invite everyone to test their wits and come to their Haunted House.”

The BIA has had psychic investigators from the Bytown Paranormal team stopping in at a couple of local businesses to carry on

investigations and determine the facts once and for all. Using the latest in scientifi c equipment and techniques, they have collect-ed and compiled data, and will let everyone in on their fi ndings.

“Wrapping up the week on Saturday, Oct. 26 the team will present a Public Reveal from the investigations they have conducted over the past few months,” said Bird. “We will fi nd out if Gananoque is truly haunted.”

For more information on any of the events listed please contact the Gananoque BIA at 613-382-9900, [email protected] or on-line at http://www.gananoque-downtown.com/ .

EMC News – Citizens Offering Po-lice Support (COPS) will be provid-ing a special presentation on what the Brockville Police Services “really do,” Wednesday, April 10.

The presentation, provided by COPS group chair Louise Severson, takes place at the city’s Finance, Administration and Operations Committee meeting, set for 4:15 p.m. that afternoon.

Severson noted, the intention behind COPS, a small group of eight to 10 lo-cal citizens, is to inform the public about the local service and everything it pro-vides for the city. It is also to inform the public prior to a decision being made on whether or not to move forward with an Ontario Provincial Police costing for the city.

The issue of an OPP costing was brought forward in 2012, and then de-ferred until April, 2013, for further dis-cussion and a decision on the matter.

For the past three months COPS has been gathering weekly and bi-weekly and researching the issue at hand. The committee has made contact with other

communities that have switched to OPP from a municipal police force and those who have undertaken a costing but cho-sen not to switch to provincial services.

“None of us are against that (a cost-ing), where you could save tax dollars you should,” she noted, “But are you really saving money? With the police coverage and the volunteer hours how do you know that is going to remain the same?”

Severson pledged if the fi nance com-mittee approves moving forward with a costing, COPS will expand. If there is approval from the committee level, the issue then goes to council.

“We want to make them (the commit-tee) and the public aware of what might change,” Severson commented, if the city were to move forward with a cost-ing. She emphasized however, “The last thing we want to do is say the OPP are bad.”

COPS has come forward with a re-port entitled, ‘Citizens Offering Police Support A Review of the Brockville Po-lice Service vs OPP’. It is a shortened version of this 10 page report which she will be presenting to the fi nance com-

mittee that afternoon. The agenda for the meeting is not online as of news-paper deadline; however it is to start at 4:15 p.m., April 10.

Within the pages of the COPS report, their intentions are outlined, “to provide information to the public regarding the advantages of keeping the Brockville Police Services.” It is noted COPS’ re-search has been “gathered from open sources on the internet and publicly available documents … and various ap-plicable provincial legislations and or-ganizations.”

Starting with a brief history of the service the report says, the Brockville Police Service was formed in 1832, making it 101 years old and “largely considered the oldest police service in the province.”

The report also covers services offered by the local police service, an Auditor General’s report on the OPP, court secu-rity information and more. Including a list of specialized services, “Brockville residents currently receive as a result of paying provincial taxes,” from the OPP.In a presentation provided Nov. 28 at the Brockville and District Chamber of

Commerce’s Mayor’s Update Break-fast, Mayor David Henderson noted, “Our emergency services contracts are increasing. They are eating up a bigger portion of our budget every year.” Point-ing to the year 2002, when police and fi re budgets cost 32 per cent of the city levy, he said in 2011 that number had risen to 37 per cent. His own suggestion was to look at an OPP costing.

In a letter to the editor, run in a pre-vious issue of the St. Lawrence News EMC, Ray McFadden, on behalf of Brockville Police Retirees, wrote, “We, as a group, have no axe to grind with the OPP. In fact, over the years both the Brockville police and regional OPP have enjoyed a good relationship with both forces working in close cooperation with our fellow offi cers. But what must be realized is we are two different orga-nizations with a different police culture. “While the primary role of Brockville police offi cers has been the protection of persons and property, what many citizens may not realize is the extensive community involvement of offi cers both past and present.”

For further information about COPS or for those wishing to help, they may call Severson, at 613-342-3184.

Citizens group looks to inform public before decision made on whether to move forward with OPP costing

Clarifi cationEMC Editorial – In an article

which appeared in last week’s St. Lawrence News EMC, “Rotary in partnership with Community Living Ontario” it should have noted, “Jen Bosworth, manager of Employment Supports at LiveWorkPlay in Otta-wa, pairs employers with employees who have intellectual disabilities.”

Plans well under way for Delta Maple Syrup Festival

EMC Events - As soon as the sap starts to run, the community of Delta starts to prepare for the Delta Maple Syrup Festival. The 46th anniversary edition, April 20 and 21, promises to offer en-tertainment, refreshments, activi-ties and of course, maple syrup and pancakes to the thousands of people who opt to visit the Vil-lage of Delta each spring.

Established as the Village’s Centennial Project in 1967, this year’s Festival will be held dur-ing the weekend of April 20 and 21 at which pancakes and sausages fl ooded with maple syrup will be served at the Fair Grounds between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. There will also be a craft sale in the upper level of the Main Fair Building, a si-lent auction downstairs and local syrup producers outside selling their maple produce throughout the weekend.

In addition to the special add-

ed on-grounds feature of having hot air infl atable jumping castles for the children on Saturday and musical entertainment by “King of the Swingers” on Sunday, there will be a blacksmithing demonstration at the Old Stone Mill Drive shed and a maple dis-play, bake sale and book sale at the Old Town Hall.

On Saturday, there will be a ball hockey tournament at the Recreation Centre in the morning and a dance at the Legion in the evening.

If you are able to assist at this year’s festival, please contact Heather Halladay at 613-928-2949 for table servers and clean up or Liz Preibe at 613-928-2902 for cooking and serving pancakes. People wish-ing to reserve concession space may contact Marlaine Hart at 613-924-2407.

The event is sponsored by the Delta Agricultural Society and

follows a tradition which began in 1967 as a Centennial project under the leadership of Harold Russell who worked tirelessly as he arranged sugar bush visits and promoted demonstrations.

In the beginning, the Festival was a three day event which in-cluded busloads of students who visited Delta on school trips to enjoy pancakes and syrup which were served on both fl oors of the Town Hall. Visitors were able to tour the local sugar bushes and to watch maple syrup being bottled and maple candy being made in the Confederated Foods Syrup Plant.

Over the years, the Festival continued through the efforts of many local residents and Service Clubs until it recently became a project for the directors of the Delta Agricultural Society.

Landon Bay Centre invites area students for Earth Day activitiesBy LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC Events - Earth Day will soon be upon us, and the woods at the Landon Bay Centre will be fi lled with excited Grade 5 students and teachers as they learn more about our planet and how to keep it safe.

Four lucky students and a supervisor from each of 25 schools from all three school boards across the region covered by the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve (FABR) have been invited to participate in activities on this upcoming Earth Day.

The original Earth Day proclamation was signed on June 21, 1970, by concerned citizens. The concept was fi rst developed by Senator Gaylord Nelson of the United States as an environmental teaching tool in 1970, and on Wednesday, April 22 of that year, roughly 20 million Americans (many of them school children) left their businesses and classrooms for the day to go out and help the earth, whether cleaning garbage from ditches, holding political rallies, or starting programs to improve the environment. Although the proclamation then moved Earth Day to March 21 (and later the vernal equinox) of each year, the activities of April 22 had become embedded in people’s minds. When it was fi nally revived in 1990, the April date had taken root, and we now celebrate it every year as the anniversary of the birth of the worldwide environmental movement.

Marian Rafferty, assistant for the Grenville Land Stewardship Council (GLSC), is bubbling with excitement. “I like working with the 8-10 year olds. Their minds are still open to whatever you want to teach them, and they’re eager to do all they can.”

Students selected to attend will take part in biosphere hikes, Eco-Clue game, All-Natural Department Store hike, worm composting, kayak land relay, a class about the black rat snake, Museum in a Suitcase and Earth Art. Each activity is designed to teach them something new and give them a closer connection to the earth.

“We try to keep it fresh for them, with a new theme every year,” says Rafferty. “The weather is usually excellent, and we’re praying for that this year.” However, in case of rain, there are back-up plans in place to make sure no one is disappointed.

Hosted by the Environmental Education Network of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, events will take place at the Landon Bay Centre on Friday, April 19. Deadline for registration is tomorrow, March 29 at 4 p.m.

“This offer is extended to four Grade 5 students per school,” says the Environmental Education

Network of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. “Each school is responsible for providing adequate all-day supervision. Teachers, parents and volunteers are fully expected to participate in the sessions. Only 25 schools within Frontenac and Leeds & Grenville Counties can participate, therefore, registration is on a fi rst-come fi rst serve basis.”

Close to 160 people are expected to participate at all levels, and they wish they could welcome more. Unfortunately, due to funding, participation is limited and spaces will fi ll quickly.

“We’d love to increase the number of allowed participants if the budget improves,” says Rafferty. “We’d love to make it more accessible in the future.”

For more information, contact Anna Donevan at [email protected] or 613-659-4824. Electronic forms will also be available at www.fabr.ca.

Brothers receive Chamber’s Lifetime Achievement AwardBrockville business organization honours John and Stephen Mazurek for years of service to community By MARLA [email protected]

EMC Business – John and Stephen Mazurek, former owners of the popular Tait’s Bakery, were presented with a Lifetime Business Achievement Award, March 21. The two were bestowed this honour during the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting at the Brockville Country Club.

Presenting the award that morning was Brockville lawyer, Michael O’Shaughnessy, who noted, “your goods were the best, but your word was good on a solid handshake.”

Many people make Tait’s a regular stop. O’Shaughnessy recalled someone he knows from Gananoque comes into the bakery every week for a loaf of French bread. He told of another woman who goes into the bakery daily during lunch to enjoy the company of others. Testimonials from those who nominated the two for the award, conveyed a sense of home that is felt there.

The two men (John and Stephen) were dedicated to early mornings and late days, Dave Shaw, downtown business owner, commented in a statement read by O’Shaughnessy.

The keys to the success the Mazureks have had with the bakery, O’Shaughnessy explained, are making their customers feel like friends, making them feel at home, their good word, making the best of any situation, and just plain working hard.

Stephen thanked the Chamber for the honour, saying he was doing just that, working. He never expected to be honoured in any way.

John explained one of the fi rst pieces of advice his father Bruce gave him was to always keep the sidewalk clean in front of the bakery. He also told them to

take time to talk to the people who come in, to get involved in their lives.

John misses serving people and misses the interaction he once had. But he considers his time at Tait’s and being able to get to know his community in

such an intimate way, “a privilege.”Tait’s Bakery has been in downtown

Brockville since 1908. In fact the business was one of the original incorporators of the Brockville Board of Trade which then became the Chamber.

According to information on the Tait’s Bakery website, John Tait set the bakery up back in 1908 and sold the business to Bruce Mazurek in 1957. Upon retirement 22 years later, Bruce handed the business over to his sons John and Stephen. Tait’s expanded to other locations over the years. However the Mazureks have sold those locations and in 2012 sold the downtown Brockville location to the Wenham family.

Perry and wife Steacy moved from Estevan, Saskatchewan, to take over the business. Perry was elected to the Chamber’s board of directors during the annual general meeting.

This was just the second time the award has been given out. Dave Jones accepted the honour last year.

The Ma-zureks, former owners of the pop-ular bakery, were presented with a Lifetime Business Achievement Award, March 21. The two were bestowed this honour during the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meet-ing at the Brockville Country Club.

New dealership opens for business in GananoqueBy LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC Business - Chiasson Ford was revved up and raring to go as it roared into Gananoque at its grand opening on Monday, March 18.

A large crowd gathered as dignitaries from the local communities and Ford Motor Company representatives came down to participate in the festivities.

“It’s so wonderful to see this renovation actually done, instead of tearing down and starting all over again,” said mayor Erika Demchuk of Gananoque. “It’s just fantastic. It’s a beautiful addition to Gananoque and the community. It’s one of those wonderful things that helps this town to move forward. I congratulate you on a beautiful building and I wish you many, many years of success here in Gananoque.”

Mayor Frank Kinsella of TLTI agreed.

“I’m so glad you helped me with their assessment, Erika,” he joked. “Congratulations, this is a really great addition. It’s something that we needed. When a new owner takes over, you get a new breath of life into the business. We especially want to wish success for your son, who will inherit the business from you. We’re delighted to have all of you here, and look forward to you being here for many years to come.

“Ford Motor Company always impressed me, because they didn’t take the bailout. They said they could do it on their own, and they’ve done it. If you go look at the product line, it’s so wonderful.”

“Ford in the last ten years has been remarkable,” said Arnold Chiasson, new owner of the Ford dealership in Gananoque. “The product they are coming out with is excellent, and I’m very proud. I had no hesitation about investing my money here and it’s a pleasure getting in bed with the Ford Motor Company.”

Ford representatives Ben Vint, service; Greg Vagasky, sales; and Lena Luke, business development manager, came forward to give not only their congratulations on the start of the new business, but to also present

plaques recognizing the Chiasson accomplishment.

“As everyone has mentioned, we didn’t take the bailout,” said Vagasky. “We invested in the product, and we are so happy that dealers like the Chiassons have chosen to invest in the facilities and your community. They have given you people a voice here as a major employer in town. They’ve hired on companies in the local vicinity to help build the project, so lots of money has been infused into the local economy. It’s a tremendous investment here. This building has been here for at least 37 years, and I don’t think it’s ever looked any better than this.

“One of the exciting things we get to do is go to all these grand openings of new stores. The energy that we see in these new buildings, not only the customers but the employees, is just amazing.”

Ford then presented Arnold Chiasson with two plaques. The fi rst was the Golden Shovel Award “in recognition of providing leading edge facilities in support of long term customer satisfaction and owner loyalty.” The second was Ford’s President’s Award “in recognition of outstanding customer satisfaction through progressive

management, dedicated employees, and high standards of operational excellence.”

Special thanks were also given to Cornerstone for the remarkable work they did on the renovations.

“I want to say thank you to all the employees here at Chiasson Ford,” said Chiasson. “A lot of them have been here for 37 years. We have a lot of stability here. When we did the renovation, the sales staff and service people had to go through an awful lot for four months. I know it was diffi cult for them, it was diffi cult for our customers, but I want to thank all of them for staying with us during this time. ”

Chiasson went on to thank his wife of 40 years and his family for all their help in making this business a success.

“We’re going to continue serving the needs of Gananoque,” said Chiasson. “I fi gure I have a few years left, but the kids have lots of years left and they’ll continue the commitment for customer excellence for years to come.”

City adds solar roof to Memorial Centre with federal assistanceEMC News - The City of Brockville

has gone green.On Friday, political offi cials from dif-

ferent levels were on hand to celebrate a new solar roof and other energy-effi -ciency improvements for the Memorial Centre arena.

Gord Brown, Member of Parlia-ment for Leeds-Grenville, made the announcement on behalf of Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resour-ces. He was joined by Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, and Dorothy Hec-tor, councillor for the City of Kingston and member of the Federation of Can-adian Municipality’s National Board of Directors.

The City of Brockville benefi tted from a $1.42-million Green Munici-pal Fund (GMF) loan and grant and $146,000 from the federal Gas Tax Fund for these retrofi ts.

“Our government is assisting muni-cipalities across the country in achiev-ing their goal of a cleaner and healthier environment for Canadians through the Green Municipal Fund and federal Gas Tax Fund,” said Brown. “Today’s an-nouncement is another example of how our government — in partnership with the FCM — is helping communities like Brockville create jobs, save money, and build a greener future for their cit-izens.”

“The Green Municipal Fund offers a range of resources and services that specifi cally address the sustainable community development needs of municipal governments,” said Hec-tor. “The fi nancing and knowledge provided by the Fund supports the development of communities that are more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.”

The City of Brockville installed solar panels on the roof of the Memorial Cen-tre and completed a number of energy-effi cient retrofi ts to reduce the centre’s operating costs and carbon footprint. Built around an array of 1,066 rooftop solar panels, this is one of Canada’s lar-gest municipal solar energy projects.

Upgrades to lighting, heating, venti-lation and air conditioning, and the in-stallation of a reverse-osmosis water treatment system for the ice-making equipment that allows water to freeze at a higher temperature, will reduce the facility’s energy bill and improve the ice quality.

The City of Brockville expects the solar panels to save about $200,000 and provide carbon offsets of about 233 met-ric tons each year of the technology’s 20-year life.

“This is a great example of partner-ing of programs and participants to-wards a better common future — the Ontario Power Authority’s FIT pro-gram has provided the City of Brock-ville with incentives to invest in solar technology,” said Brockville Mayor David Henderson. “Today green elec-tricity is fl owing from two municipal sites into the Ontario Power Grid — and these projects were further en-abled by funding the federal govern-

ment provided through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Together, Brockville and Ontario and beyond are a little cleaner, a little greener, day by day by day.”

The Government of Canada endowed the Federation of Canadian Municipal-ities with $550 million to establish the Green Municipal Fund. This Fund sup-ports partnerships and leveraging of both public and private-sector funding to reach higher standards of air, water and soil quality, and climate protection.

The federal Gas Tax Fund, which is part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, provides long-term funding to help every municipality across the country build and revitalize public infrastruc-ture. The Government of Canada has invested over $10 billion to date in mu-nicipal infrastructure through this Fund alone, which is now a permanent trans-fer of $2 billion per year. Between 2010 and 2014, the City of Brockville will

receive more than $5.3 million from the federal Gas Tax Fund to improve its lo-cal infrastructure.

FCM has been the national voice of municipal governments since 1901. It fosters the development of sustainable communities to improve quality of life by promoting strong, effective, and ac-countable municipal government.

EMC Lifestyle - Finding clean snow in the yard at the farm was almost im-possible. This caused a great concern for Mother. We fi ve children, this time of year, begged for toffee-on-snow, as the sap poured from the trees. And that meant hauling in a roaster of spotlessly clean snow.

As well as the boiling-down in the big fl at pan in the bush, Mother would boil big pots of sap in the kitchen fi lling the house with sweet heavy steam.

Each night we children begged for toffee-on-snow, but often Mother would say it was a Saturday night treat, and we went to bed out of sorts that we have been deprived of one of our favourite treats this time of year.

And each night that we were allowed this indulgence, Everett, or Audrey, be-ing the two oldest in the family, would be sent out for a roast pan of snow.

Mother kept sending them farther and farther afi eld for clean snow.

Father said she would soon have us going across the river to Admaston, which of course, was an exaggeration.

But Mother was fastidious about any-thing that came within a country mile of our mouths, and using a roast pan of snow where the livestock had trod was out of the question. So either Everett or Audrey was given the task of fi nd-ing clean snow for the toffee. Emerson

couldn’t be trusted to go beyond the barn yard!

That night it was dark as pitch out-side. It had been a heavy snow for late March. Mother said we would be stay-ing home...no church party had been planned, and no one had offered their home for a game of cards, and so we had a rare Saturday night at home, and without a house full of neighbours. A perfect night for toffee-on-snow.

Audrey would carry the lantern and Everett the roast pan and the big soup ladle, ready to bring in the freshly fallen snow.

Mother had put a small pot of already boiled syrup on the front lid of the Find-lay Oval, and it was fair jumping by the time the clean snow was brought into the house. Just perfect to pour out on the snow for a feed of sticky toffee!

Although Mother always trusted Au-

drey or Everett to go well away from the barn yard, that night she took a big spoon and dragged it through the roaster of snow, just to be on the safe side. Well, what happened next was something like you would see in a picture show in Ren-frew.

There buried in the pan of snow was something that proved they hadn’t gone far enough! Mother stared at the black lump, which wasn’t big enough to fi ll a teaspoon, but big enough to send her into a fi t! Father, used to Mother’s ob-session with cleanliness, never took his eyes off the Family Herald and Weekly Star that he was reading by the oven door.

She demanded to know where the snow came from, and both Audrey and Everett vowed it came from the farthest reaches of the yard where no livestock ever went. Well, that didn’t satisfy

Mother. Even though she had no idea what the black lump was, she knew it had spoiled the entire roaster of snow! Audrey said she would get rid of it, and that the rest of the roaster was perfectly clean. Well, she might as well have told Mother the lump was just a raisin. Mother was having no part of her story!

“Dump it out, Audrey. Good-ness knows what else is in the roaster. There’ll be no toffee tonight.” Well, did that cause an uproar! Emerson ac-cused Everett and Audrey of getting the snow from behind the cow byre where we dumped the manure, Everett took a handful of the snow out of the roaster and fl ung it at Emerson, who paid him back by throwing his gum rubber at him, hitting him square in the face, and Au-drey was ready to stomp off upstairs.

Relay for Life gears up

EMC Editorial – The Relay for Life in Leeds & Grenville is off to a great start for 2013. Taking over the Rows Corners Fairground, Brockville, June 14 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., a kick-off meeting has already been held. Now team captain rallies are taking place on a regular basis.

The Relay for Life, a 12-hour overnight event, continues to be a source of major funding for the Canadian Cancer Society locally.

In 2012 alone, Relay for Life took place in 496 communities across the country and raised $51 million. Close to 200,000 partici-pants took part and more than 37,000 celebrated survival. Add to that 32,000 volunteers who helped to make it happen and hope-fully a great recipe is already in place for the 2013 edition of this important venture. Each dollar goes to help the Canadian Cancer Society’s mission to “eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of Canadians living with cancer.”

Those funds go towards lifesaving cancer research to combat the more than 200 different types of cancer; promoting healthy lifestyles and policies to protect health; offering compassionate services and support to those suffering from cancer so they are not alone; as well as providing Canadians with more information about the disease to empower them to make better choices with regards to their health.

The goal in Leeds and Grenville this year is to raise $165,000. So far 19 teams have registered with more than 80 participants and the amount raised is over $11,000. To register go to www.relayfor-life.ca/brockville.

This year’s Relay for Life Committee members are Heather Jones, Christina Covey-Shannon, Judith Hart, Becky Dean, Pauline Tapping, Carrie Stephenson, Rob Shannon, Jana Curtis, Lori Stew-art, Margaret Leeder, Claude Clement and Karen Leeder.

The Brockville Relay for Life committee is inviting more survi-vors to participate in the Survivor Lap. There were 81 last year and they want to meet or surpass 90.

To fi nd out more call 1-800-367-2913. Relay for Life also has a Facebook page, Brockville Relay for Life 2013. Upcoming team captain meetings are scheduled for April 8, May 13 and June 3 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Community Room in the 1000 Islands Mall.

Mother ordered her back to the table and she was told to scrub the roaster with hot water and lye soap, even though the teeny bit of black came no where near touching the pan! The commotion in the kitchen was like something you’d see in a movie.

Father got off the rocking chair, folded the Family Herald and Weekly Star, tapped his pipe into the stove, and he could be heard muttering about the crazy family he was living with. ‘A man can’t even read the paper in peace.” While he was heading for the bedroom off the kitchen, he added: “Hauling snow in the house, throwing it around like it was nothing. Washing a perfectly clean pan, I tell you the whole house is going straight to Hell in a basket,” which was a saying Father hauled out every time something came up that riled him. And that night he was as riled as I had seen him in a long time.

EMC News – Two elementary schools within the Upper Canada District School Board were hon-oured last week for outstanding work in preparing new students for kindergarten.

Thousand Islands Elementary School (TIES) in Lansdowne and Linklater Public School in Ganan-oque are members of a partnership of area school boards and social agencies that was recognized with a Welcome to Kindergarten Award for Partnership Excellence during a ceremony at the Fire Hall Theatre.

The umbrella group, known as the West Leeds Transition to Kin-dergarten Project, was honoured by The Learning Partnership for its quality delivery of the Partner-ship’s Welcome to Kindergarten Program. The program provides parents of kindergarten students access to community resources,

allows new students to visit kin-dergarten classrooms before ar-riving in September, and ensures proper supports are in place where needed.

The project team includes a number of area social agencies partnered with Linklater, TIES and St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Gananoque. The partnership was recognized for delivering a quality program that helps all students – including those with special needs – transition to kindergarten. The group developed a parent commu-nity resource guide to aid families, as well as a one-week summer program to assist parents to ensure their children’s early learning jour-ney is successful.

“I’m elated, not just about the award but the success of the pro-gram itself because I can see the benefi ts for students,” said TIES

Principal Pam Little. “That’s re-ally what is so exciting about this for me.”

Little says the partnership with area agencies, ranging from the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Dis-trict Health Unit to the Infant and Child Development Program, en-sures a high level of support for new students so they are prepared to learn in September.

Linklater Public School Prin-cipal Kim Melvin-Long agreed it was nice to see the school and its kindergarten team cited for its good work.

The Learning Partnership is a national not-for-profi t charitable organization dedicated to cham-pioning a strong public education system in Canada through innova-tive programs, credible research, policy initiatives, leadership train-ing and public engagement.

MEETING SCHEDULE

Beauty and the Breast cancer fundraiser returns for a seventh year on May 6By MARLA [email protected]

EMC Events – The Beauty and the Breast fundraising event is back for a seventh year May 6.

The fundraising dinner will raise all-important dollars for the fi ght against breast cancer at a local level.

This year’s event features the fa-vourite activities of other years – si-lent auction, dinner and fashion show, door prizes and a quilt raffl e. The goal is to raise “well over $10,000,” notes co-organizer Mary Jane Leslie. She and her daughter Erica have been put-ting this fundraiser on for seven years – with funds originally going towards the 60-kilometre Walk to End Breast Cancer in Ottawa. Participating to sup-

port the cancer foundation in that city, it was shortly after that Mary Jane’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Then this already worthy cause became even more worthy for her.

The fi rst year for the walk, Mary Jane did it on her own. The cost to participate was $2,000. Soon after her daughter joined her and they started up this fund-raising evening to raise the funds to take part. The walk no longer takes place so last year the funds were put towards a local cause. The $10,400 raised in 2012 went towards the purchase of single-use biopsy guns for Brockville General Hospital (BGH). These guns, according to the BGH website, are used to obtain breast tissue to aid in diagnosis of breast cancer.

And it was the early diagnosis of Mary Jane’s sister that has been attrib-uted to her being cancer free for more than fi ve years. Since fi rst entering the walk, Mary Jane and Erica have raised more than $50,000.

The funds raised this year will be go-ing towards the BGH Hospital Founda-tion and the purchase of two breast can-

cer chemotherapy chairs. These chairs are pink in colour and will be used for breast cancer patients undergoing chemo at the BGH. Funds will also go towards a chemo cart.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Dinner will be held following cocktails. A fashion show will feature clothing for both women and men from local re-tailers Echo Clothing Company, ISIS, Alan Brown’s and The Jewel Box. The women who are modeling for the fash-ion show portion of the evening are all cancer survivors or who have a family member who has been affected by the disease.

Tickets are $60 and are on sale now by calling the Leslies at 613-345-2008. There are only 173 tickets up for grabs so get yours soon.

Sponsors for the evening are the two Shoppers Drug Mart locations in Brockville – downtown and in the 1000 Islands Mall, and The Keary Team from Royal LePage in Brockville.

Erica and Mary Jane also thank Lynn Candlish of The Mill for her support in putting on this event.

Mary Jane and Erica Leslie are busy once again co-organizing the seventh Beauty and the Breast fundraiser for breast cancer. Funds raised will be going to-wards the Brockville General Hospital Foun-dation for the purchase of chemotherapy chairs and a cart for breast cancer patients. Last year the more than $10,000 raised went to-wards BGH’s purchase of single-use biopsy guns.Photo by MARLA DOWDALL

Family expresses heartfelt thanks to Shriners

Photo by DOREEN BARNESWith a smile on her face, 17-year-old Lauren Farish (centre) is surround-ed by her mother, Cathy (directly behind Lauren) and Shriners, Noble Michel Vigeant, Potentate of Tunis Shriners #179, Ottawa (seated left), Noble Peter Rippstein. Standing left to right are Past Potentate and membership co-chairman, Nobel Richard Morrison, Illustrious Sir Don-ald Moore, Hospital Board of Governors, Montreal, Illustrious Sir Rich-ard Abrams, Hospital Board of Governors, Montreal, and Nobel John Hawkins, Chief Rabban, at the Rising Sun Lodge, #85 in Athens. The Farish family visited the Lodge to thank all the Masons and Shriners for their moral and monetary support shown to them over the years while Lauren was in the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal.

and membership co-chairman along with other Shriners met at the Rising Sun Lodge, #85 in Athens.

This special occasion was arranged by Rippstein in collaboration with the Worshipful Master Bro. Gary Cooke of Rising Sun Lodge and the Masons who welcomed Lauren Farish and her mother Cathy.

During the evening the Masons and Shriners received heartfelt thanks from Lauren and Cathy for the support the Farish family has received.

Lauren has congenital neuromuscular disorder and limited mobility.

Cathy explained that the bottom of the spine did not develop properly leav-ing Lauren with club feet and underde-veloped legs.

Lauren does have feeling and sensa-tion in her feet and with her braces she can take a few steps.

“Lauren turned 17 last week,” said Cathy. “She had been going to the Shri-ners Hospital since she was 18 months old. Her condition has a restriction on the use of her legs. If we hadn’t gone to the Shriners she wouldn’t have been able to sit in a chair.”

All eyes in the Lodge Room were on this beautiful dark-haired individual who was constantly smiling, very poised and exuding an excitement for life.

Lauren may be limited in some areas of sports, but what she can do, she does very well.

In fact, Lauren is a typical teenager playing sports. She’s on a ski team, the Black Diamonds, who will be travelling to Sun Peaks, British Columbia to com-pete in adaptive sports (skiing).

This month, Sun Peaks will host the 2013 National Ski Improvement and Race Development Festival as well as the 2013 Canadian National Para-Alpine Championships.

Lauren has been skiing for four years and is a strong competitor.

The trail that Lauren will be skiing on goes through trees and she’s not the least bit apprehensive about it.

If skiing in the winter is not enough for Lauren, she also skis in the summer.

When Lauren is not involved with sports, she attends Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville where she receives her daily physiotherapy. Hand cycling is a treatment that she practices each day.

Shriners supportWhen Lauren was born, Cathy im-

mediately started searching for a doctor that could help her daughter. The search paid off and they found Dr. Hamdy at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal.

With the moral and monetary sup-port of the Shriners, Lauren has had several surgeries over the years as she has grown.

Each time she had an operation, Lau-ren required custom made braces.

“The greatest thing about going there (Shriners Hospital) is the multiple braces needed, because of the procedure with her legs,” stated Cathy. “If it was not for the fi nancial support that we got from them (Shriners), for equipment, braces, our hotel room and transportation costs, we wouldn’t have known what to do.”

The doctors are waiting till Lauren is older and her physical body has stopped growing before another surgery will be performed.

Growing up, Lauren’s father Greg and her mother Cathy have always al-lowed Lauren to give her opinion on things that concerned her well-being.

For this reason, Lauren will be the one to decide if and when she will have another operation.

“We have always let her do her own thing,” said Cathy.

As one Shriner at the Lodge said, “It’s all about the kids!”

Budget features important measures for Leeds-Grenville, MP saysEMC News – Gord Brown, Mem-

ber of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville last week welcomed the measures in Economic Action Plan 2013, espe-cially those that will directly benefi t the riding.

“I am pleased that Finance Minis-ter Jim Flaherty is renewing the East-ern Ontario Development Program for fi ve years beyond 2014 through Fed-Dev Ontario,” explains Brown in a press release. “As well, there is a commitment to upgrade the border fa-cilities at the Thousand Islands cross-ing – something that I have advocated for some time – and a renewed com-mitment to infrastructure funding for which I have also advocated on behalf of the municipalities of Leeds-Gren-ville.”

Additionally, the MPP says the bud-get re-directs part of the $500 million per year that the federal government spends each year on re-training to en-sure workers are receiving skills that will fi ll jobs; provides incentives to small businesses and manufacturers; commits to a further Build Canada In-frastructure Program; provides tax re-lief for home care services, fi rst time giving to charities and for adoptions; and eliminates import tariffs on some everyday items such as baby clothing and exercise equipment.

“There is much more outlined in the budget document but overall it is an excellent budget for Leeds-Gren-ville,” says Brown.

“It continues our government’s fo-cus on job creation, economic growth and long term prosperity while return-ing Canada to balanced budgets in 2015 and maintaining taxes at their lowest level in 50 years,” he adds.

“While we have the best job cre-ation record among the G8 countries, with over 950,000 net new jobs, we are not immune to problems in the global economy. This budget will help keep us safe while continuing our growth.”

Key among the new initiatives this year is the Canada Skills Grant. It will provide $15,000 or more per person to ensure people receive training for jobs that are available. The funding will be split among the federal and provincial governments and the employer that will each contribute $5,000. The em-ployer can contribute more if desired.

Labour agreements with the prov-inces will be re-negotiated to provide, over the next four years, $300,000

of the $500,000 that annually goes to provinces for job training into the Canada Skills Grant program.

“This will put training into the hands of the employers and workers,” explains Brown.

The provinces will use the remain-ing $200,000 for employment pro-grams that help workers write CVs and acquire other skills.

The budget also strengthens the apprenticeship program making it easier to get needed experience for journeyman status and provides tools for persons with disabilities, youth, aboriginals and recent immigrants, to fi nd work.

The new long-term infrastructure program will provide $70 billion over 10 years which will be broken down into the $32.2 billion Community Im-provement Fund to build roads, public transit, recreational facilities and other community infrastructure, $14 billion for the renewed Building Canada Fund to support major economic projects of national and regional signifi cance, $1.25 billion for the renewal of the P3 Canada Fund, and $6 billion under the current infrastructure programs for the provinces, territories and municipali-ties in 2014-15 and beyond.

“This represents the largest and lon-gest federal investment in job creating infrastructure in Canadian history,” notes Brown.

Businesses will be helped to suc-ceed and grow with a two-year ex-tension of the temporary Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance for new ma-chinery and equipment; an extension and expansion of the temporary Hir-ing Credit for small business; and an increase in the lifetime capital gains exemption to $800,000 for small busi-ness owners, farmers and fi shers and indexing the new exemption limit to infl ation.

The government will continue its support for advanced research, sup-porting business innovation and en-hancing Canada’s venture capital sys-tem.

Families will receive new tax relief when adopting a child, using home-care services, and purchasing a num-ber of items such as baby clothing, sporting and exercise equipment that will have tariffs removed.

A new consumer code will be de-veloped for people using fi nancial

products and the government will work with provinces to help protect the vulnerable who use pay day loan services.

The government will provide close to $1.9 billion over fi ve years to create more affordable housing and to com-bat homelessness as well as providing a super credit for those who are do-nating to a charity for the fi rst time, or who haven’t donated for more than fi ve years.

Aboriginal communities will be strengthened with on-reserve devel-opment, health and safety services as well as greater funding for education.

As well, all major transfers to prov-inces will form current record levels totaling $62 billion in 2013-14. In 2013-14 total major transfers to On-tario will total $19.9 billion – almost $3.2 billion through equalization, almost $12 billion through the Can-ada Health Transfer and $4.7 billion through the Canada Social Transfer.

“As well, the fi nance minister is on track to eliminate the defi cit by 2015-16,” says Brown.

In budgets since 2006, our govern-ment has worked to ensure the right

conditions for growth and job creation exist in Canada by creating a stable, predictable, low tax environment. This has worked for business as well as families and our tax reduction ac-complishments have reduced the over-all tax burden for a family of four by more than $3,100, notes Brown.

When the global economic reces-sion struck, Budget 2009 addressed the global economic recession with the fi rst phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan which supported growth. This helped maintain jobs and pro-tected families, while investing in in-frastructure and projects that will con-tinue to contribute to our economic prosperity in the future, he says.

“In 2010 we helped cement our country’s economic recovery and sus-tain our economic advantage, now and for the future, by placing another $19 billion into federal stimulus programs in the second year of Canada’s Eco-nomic Action Plan.

In Canada’s Economic Action Plan of Budget 2011 we created the condi-tions for all Canadians to contribute to, and benefi t from, a stronger economy

while gradually returning to balanced budgets without raising taxes or cut-ting transfers.”

Last year, in Budget 2012 the gov-ernment focused on increasing eco-nomic growth and job creation — in-novation, investment, education and skills — and ensuring sustainable social programs and sound public fi -nances for future generations.

The government also promised tax-payers they would conduct a compre-hensive review of the $75 billion in direct program spending. The federal government was able to identify many ways to enhance effi ciency and ef-fectiveness in government operations, programs and services.

This is part of the effort to return to a balanced budget in the medium term.

“Budget 2013 is the next step in our effort to consolidate and reinforce our recovery. It continues the approach that has helped make our country a world leader,” he says.

Family expresses heartfelt thanks to the ShrinersBy DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – One local family made a special occasion recently out of thanking the Tunis Shriners for all the help which was provided to them.

On Thursday, Feb. 23, Tunis Shriners including Noble Michel Vigeant, Potentate of Tunis Shriners #179, Ottawa, Noble Peter Rippstein, Past Potentate and membership co-chairman along with other Shriners met at the Rising Sun Lodge, #85 in Athens.

This special occasion was arranged by Rippstein in col-laboration with the Worshipful Master Bro. Gary Cooke of Rising Sun Lodge and the Masons who welcomed Lauren Farish and her mother Cathy to the Lodge.

During the evening the Masons and Shriners received heartfelt thanks from Lauren and Cathy for the support the Farish family has received.

Celebrate World Theatre Day with St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival

EMC Events - With World Theatre Day March 27; it’s time to celebrate professional theatre in your commu-nity.

The Prescott-Brockville area is home to the resident St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival, entering its 11th season staging the annual Festi-val on the waterfront in Prescott.

“World Theatre Day was es-tablished 50 years ago to promote cultural diversity and to recognize theatre as a bridge-builder for inter-national understanding and peace,” company Artistic Director Ian Far-thing explained.

“We like to think we’re doing our share right here along the St. Law-rence. Our summer and off-season productions bring together people from everywhere and of all back-grounds to share their enthusiasm for live theatre.”

While primarily a summer festi-val, the festival is active year-round in planning and organizing the main event, Farthing noted.

“I attend speaking engagements and meetings to promote the festival. Our board of directors meets monthly to discuss fi nancing and other aspects

of presenting the season. Our offi ce and store on King Street in Prescott is open during normal business hours throughout the year.”

Passes available nowHow can you acknowledge World

Theatre Day to show your enthusiasm and help preserve and expand profes-sional theatre in the community?

By attending the main produc-tions, of course. The 2013 season at the outdoor amphitheater overlook-ing Prescott’s marina will feature two alternating productions, Hamlet and Maid for a Musket, an original play in the Shakespeare style set lo-cally in 1813.

“Season passes are now on sale, the most economical and convenient way to take in the festival,” said Company General Manager Ingrid Bjornson. “Advance sales also help the company with cash up front to cover ongoing costs.”

Another way to support theatre in the community is to become a vol-unteer, Bjornson added. “We have many volunteer positions, from ticket taking to costume building. We’re al-ways looking for summer billets for

the actors and crew and, right now, we could use a large space for cos-tume preparation.”

You don’t have to wait to show your enthusiasm, Farthing empha-sized. Two off-season productions are in the works, a co-presentation with Ottawa’s Salamander Theatre on Saturday April 6 of Macbeth, 8 p.m., at St. Andrew’s Church in Prescott; and Yours Ever, Jane, a Jane Austen show from the UK performed by Sar-ah Finch on Saturday, April 20 at 8 p.m., and Sunday April 21 at 3 p.m., also at St. Andrew’s. Admission is $20 for Macbeth and $25 for Yours Ever, Jane.

“This Macbeth is a one-hour, three actor version for those who like their Shakespeare in short, sharp doses. Sarah will perform her one-woman show with music from Jane Austen’s own music books.”

Yet another way to celebrate World Theatre Day: “We’re looking for ma-jor sponsors for each show, $250 for Macbeth and $500 for Yours Ever, Jane.”

Submitted by the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival.

EMC News - In February, Royal LePage published a survey reporting almost half of baby boomers (43.5 per cent to be exact) do not plan to down-size from their large single family de-tached homes into smaller homes.

These fi ndings coupled with the fact that 55.7 per cent of Generation Y members plan to buy in the sub-urbs, make for a compelling case that the suburbs will be enticing to a wide variety of home buyers in the coming years.

“What’s really interesting about these numbers is that they show the urban/suburban divide is closing,” says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

“Many people mistakenly believe that the suburbs do not offer much variety in terms of demographics and types of neighbourhoods and this could

not be more wrong. It’s nice to fi nally be able to say that the numbers clearly show that many new home buyers are choosing to move to the suburbs and many mature homeowners are choos-ing to stay in these communities.”

That being said, especially for fi rst time buyers who may have previously been living in the city, there are cer-tainly some pros and cons to making the suburban switch.

Here’s Abraham’s list of the pros and cons of the ‘burbs:

Larger homes and properties: A suburban home will generally be less costly than an equivalent home in the city. Of course, a larger home and yard will require more maintenance and generate higher utility bills.

Commuting: Consider how far you must commute each day. Suburban neighbourhoods often put you fur-

ther away from the offi ce so decide how long of a daily commute you can handle and the time that you are com-muting to other necessary activities (school, grocery store, bank, etc.).

Personal preferences: Figure out what an ideal day looks like for you and what amenities you use regularly. If taking the dog for a walk and chil-dren to the park top your list, the sub-urbs may be the clear winner. If trendy

shops and restaurants are important, the suburbs won’t have as many op-tions as the city.

Evolving needs: Suburban neighbourhoods tend to offer qual-ity schools, parks and plenty of other families.

But consider that the distance to visit friends and family may also be greater if you choose a suburban neighbourhood.

“Moving to the suburbs can be incredibly rewarding if a suburban neighbourhood fulfi lls your require-ments,” says Abraham. “There is such a diversity of suburban neighbour-hoods these days that are far from cookie-cutter but before making any decision, sit down with your Realtor to assess your current and future hous-ing needs, as well as what you want in a home and a neighbourhood.”

The pros and cons of moving to the suburbs

February 2013 housing starts in Canada modestEMC News — Housing starts in

Canada were trending at 195,087 units in February, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly season-ally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

“The trend in total housing starts continued to moderate in February. Moderation in economic fundamen-tals in the second half of 2012 has led to more modest housing demand and builders are adjusting accord-ingly,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC. “Monthly SAAR housing starts moved closer to the six month trend in February, up from January levels, due to a rebound in Ontario and Quebec multi-family starts.”

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 situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the mul-tiples segment of the markets, which can be quite volatile from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 180,719 units in February, up from 158,998 in January. The SAAR of urban starts rose by 18.4 per cent in February to 161,631 units, led by a 27.7 per cent increase in multiple urban starts to 99,022 units. Single urban starts rose by 6.1 per cent to 62,609 units in February.

February’s seasonally adjusted an-nual rates of urban starts increased in Ontario (46.8 per cent), Quebec (34.9 per cent), British Columbia (2.1 per cent) and in the Prairies (1.5 per cent). Urban starts declined in Atlantic Canada (-31.7 per cent).

Rural starts were estimated at a sea-sonally adjusted annual rate of 19,088 units in February.

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadi-ans access a variety of high quality, en-vironmentally sustainable and afford-able housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

Recycling and composting 101

OREA supports reintroduction of grow-op registry bill

EMC Lifestyle - It’s that time of year when homeowners are thinking about planning their yards and planting their gardens.

Well-manicured lawns and beautifully land-scaped gardens elevate exteriors and are hands down one of the best ways to enhance the curb appeal of your home, says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Associa-tion.

“When it comes to making a fi rst impres-sion, your landscaping is the fi rst thing that potential buyers see so make sure that you take care of your lawn and garden. One of the best ways to kick-start your garden this spring is by composting.”

Why you need to start composting this spring:

Better soil: With compost, you create nu-trient-rich soil for your lawn and garden. This will feed your plants and help soil retain its

moisture.Recycling: With compost you recycle kitch-

en and yard waste. Composting can divert as much as 30 per cent of household waste away from the garbage can.

Good bugs: Compost introduces benefi cial organisms to the soil. Microscopic organisms in compost help aerate the soil, break down or-ganic material and ward off plant disease.

Bigger picture: Composting offers a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers so it is good for you and the environment. One-third of all landfi ll waste is made up of compostable mate-rials so do your part by starting a compost pile.

In addition to composting, this is the perfect time to evaluate your family’s recycling rou-tine. The most important thing to keep in mind is consistency and of course the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

“Reducing household waste doesn’t have to

be overly diffi cult or time consuming. The best at-home recycling routine is consistent, uses all 3 R’s and incorporates the whole family.”

“Challenge your family to come up with creative ways to reduce and reuse, while up-ping the ante on your recycling with a compost pile,” says Abraham.

Not only will taking these steps help the en-vironment but your lawn and garden will ben-efi t from the nutrient-rich soil your compost pile creates.

Head to your local garden centre to get de-tailed information on composting and for rec-ommendations on the types of plants that are sure make your garden come alive this spring/summer.

“Making sure your home is as eco-friendly as possible should always be top-of-mind for homeowners, whether you are buying, selling or staying,” says Abraham.

EMC Business - The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) applauds the tabling of the Clandestine Drug Operation Prevention Act, 2013, introduced March 7 by MPP Lisa MacLeod (Nepean-Carleton) to establish a marijuana grow operations (MGOs) and clan-destine drug laboratory registry.

“Grow-ops are a major problem for home-buyers in the province and we have been urg-ing the Ontario government to establish a reg-istry to protect consumers for over 10 years,” said Pat Verge, an Ottawa realtor and member of OREA’s Board of Directors. “We urge the Legislature to pass this bill in order to protect homebuyers.”

In October of 2012, OREA commissioned a study by Ipsos Reid, which found that 93 per cent of Ontario residents want to know if a home they are planning to purchase was for-merly used as a MGO or clandestine drug lab. The research showed that 88 per cent of On-tarians support the creation of a province-wide registry.

It also noted that one quarter (24 per cent)

of Ontarians say they have ‘seen or know of homes in their neighbourhood that have been used as a marijuana grow operation (MGO).’

“The prevalence of these homes in Ontario is quite frankly alarming,” says Verge. “And realtors want to be able to warn their clients as early in the purchasing process as possible.”

While realtors are obligated by law to dis-close to potential homebuyers if a home has been used as a marijuana grow-operation or drug lab, they are hindered by the lack of a cen-tral registry of such properties.

MGOs and clandestine drug operations cause signifi cant damage to homes, such as mould, chemical contamination, structural alterations and hazardous electrical rewiring. Often these homes receive cosmetic renovations to disguise their former use.

Homebuyers who unknowingly purchase a former MGO might fi nd themselves facing a loss of home insurance for the property and high remediation costs.

If passed, the bill will require municipalities to register remediation work orders on title of

former marijuana grow operation/clandestine lab properties. Under this proposal, licensed professionals (realtors, mortgage lenders, etc.), who have access to this information will be able to protect consumers by ensuring that these properties are disclosed prior to the completion of the real estate transaction.

OTF grant helps Grenville Fish and Game Club with purchase of new truckEMC News - Members of the Grenville

Fish and Game Club proudly unveiled their new truck on Saturday, March 23 thanks in part to a $25,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark joined the celebration along with OTF representative Natalie Wood to offi cially congratulate members of the club and the large number of community members who came out to support.

The OTF funding supported the pur-chase of a truck to help haul equipment and boats to continue providing outdoor activities for the community at large. In July 2012, the Grenville Fish and Game Club applied for the grant to help alleviate the reliance on members’ trucks, acquire a reliable vehicle to help with programming, and allow the club to organize more com-munity events.

“I’m pleased to announce the On-tario Trillium Foundation has provided a $25,000 grant to assist the Grenville Fish and Game Club with the purchase of a new truck to transport equipment for its many community events. Activities organized by volunteer club members help con-nect people of all ages and abilities to the great outdoors,” said Clark.

“The truck is helping us meet our programming demands and support our

community to our fullest ability. We re-ally appreciate this grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and we are happy to celebrate it today,” commented Lynn Hol-mes, Grenville Fish and Game Club.

Incorporated in 1968, the Grenville Fish and Game Club believes in making a positive difference in their communi-ties through the encouragement of youth, families and community based organiza-tions to enjoy and participate in traditional outdoor sports and activities. The club operates a youth summer camp, commu-nity and charity kayaking, fi shing derbies, archery competitions and non-competitive archery tournaments. In addition, the club participates in conservation projects such as wild rice and tree planting, community cleanups and recycling projects.

A leading grant-maker in Canada, the Ontario Trillium Foundation strength-ens the capacity of the voluntary sector through investments in community-based initiatives. An agency of the Government of Ontario, OTF builds healthy and vibrant communities.

EMC Lifestyle - As part of Epilepsy Awareness month, the Epilepsy & Seizure Disorder Resource Centre of South East-ern Ontario is emphasizing the importance of knowing how to help someone who is having a seizure.

According to Epilepsy On-tario, while 1 in 100 Canadians have epilepsy, 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their life time, making it important for everyone to have a basic under-standing of seizure fi rst aid.

A seizure occurs when there is a sudden, abnormal electrical discharge in the brain. Anyone can experience a seizure as a result of head trauma, a brain infection, drug or alcohol tox-icity, high fever, missed medi-cation, stroke, complications of diabetes, or brain tumours. However, if a person experi-ences two or more unprovoked seizures, they are said to have epilepsy.

There are many different types of seizures ranging from a blank stare, to aimless wander-ing, to a loss of consciousness and convulsions. Most seizures last only from a few seconds to several minutes, and almost all

of the time, a seizure will end naturally without any medical intervention.

Many misconceptions still exist about how to provide as-sistance to someone experienc-ing a seizure. “When I watch medical drama shows on televi-sion, I am shocked at how many times the medical staff perform basic seizure fi rst aid incorrect-ly,” stated Hanna Kitchingman, Youth Coordinator at the Epi-lepsy Resource Centre.

“When people think of sei-zures, they tend to think of generalized convulsive sei-zures, during which a person loses consciousness, falls to the ground, and has convulsion,” said Kitchingman. While it can be frightening to witness a convulsive seizure, accord-ing to Epilepsy Ontario, there are some simple steps to follow when assisting an individual who is having a convulsive sei-zure:

· Remain calm. Seizures may appear frightening, but they usually last only a few minutes and generally do not require medical attention.

· Time the seizure,· Place something soft under

the head, and clear the area of any items that may injure the person,

· Do not restrain the person,· Do not put anything in the

person’s mouth,· As the seizure subsides, roll

the person on their side.· Talk gently to the person

and provide reassurance as they recover from the seizure.

A common misconception when it comes to seizure fi rst aid is that it is always a medical emergency that requires an am-bulance to be called. However, if an individual has epilepsy, then seizures are typically not medical emergencies, unless the seizure lasts for more than fi ve minutes, repeats without full re-covery between seizures, or the person is injured, pregnant, or has diabetes. Conversely, if the person has never had a seizure before, then a seizure is always a medical emergency, and 911 must be called.

An important mandate of the Epilepsy Resource Centre is to provide education work-shops about epilepsy, seizures, and seizure fi rst aid. “We of-fer workshops tailored to the needs of the group, for all ages.

These sessions are offered at no cost, and enable participants to develop a benefi cial life skill,” stated Kitchingman.

Having a good understanding of the basic knowledge of sei-zure fi rst aid can be extremely helpful to people who may have seizures in public.

“Many people with epilepsy have a fear that if they were to have a seizure in public, no one would know how to assist them, and may even harm them by providing inappropriate fi rst aid. By educating people in the community through our pre-sentations we hope to alleviate some of this anxiety for people with epilepsy,” said Kitching-man.

For more information about epilepsy, seizure fi rst aid, or to book an epilepsy presenta-tion for your school, business, or community group with the Epilepsy Resource Centre, please contact the organization by phone at 613-542-6222 or visit their website at www.epi-lepsyresource.org.

DPCA hopes to improve access to OHIP-funded physiotherapy for rural seniors By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - Tony Melles, physiother-apist and Executive Director of the Desig-nated Physiotherapy Clinics Association (DPCA), says that physiotherapy (PT) is being distributed in an inequitable fash-ion for seniors in Ontario, and the DPCA wants to see it corrected.

“Physiotherapy is an essential service which benefi ts people, especially seniors who have arthritis, are at risk of falling or require post-operative rehabilitation,” said Tony Melles at a press conference held at the Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque on March 4. “(It) improves their mobility, re-stores strength, stability and their quality of life.”

Clinical benefi ts of PT have been prov-en for a long time. Seniors get to live nor-mal lives, staying out of hospitals and care facilities longer and reducing the strain on the tax payer.

However, their access to required PT covered by OHIP is limited. Only those living inside facilities or those residing in communities with offi cially recognized OHIP Designated Physiotherapy Clinics (DPCs) get this coverage. All of the rest must pay for their care either out of pocket or through supplemental insurance. And the cost is prohibitive – in the neighbour-hood of $120 per treatment as opposed to the OHIP cost of only $12.20 in a residen-tial facility or DPC.

With only 94 DPCs in Ontario, this cre-ates a burden that many seniors cannot af-ford to carry, and hurries many otherwise healthy individuals into care situations that could remain unnecessary for years if proper changes were made.

“Community access for ambulatory patients is restricted to the communities in which the 94 licenses are registered,” reads an article in the Backgrounder, a professional publication of the DPCA. “There have been no new licenses granted

since the 1960s.”“Unfortunately, thousands of mobile

seniors throughout the province don’t have access to OHIP-funded physiother-apy treatment because the community that they live in does not have an OHIP Physiotherapy Clinic,” says Melles. “In fact Gananoque does not have an OHIP physiotherapy Clinic.”

The DPCA wants to change this, mak-

ing quality, affordable PT available to all seniors who need it. And the plan they have in mind is remarkably simple.

“The Designated Physiotherapy Clinics Association wants to work with Retire-ment Residences, Seniors Activity Cen-tres and Long-Term Care (LTC) Homes to provide OHIP-funded physiotherapy right across Ontario,” says Melles. “Our goal is consistent with the key recommendations from Dr. Samir Sinha’s report, ‘Living Longer, Living Well’. Dr. Sinha recom-mends that the provincial government ‘en-hance access to clinic-based physiother-apy services in every LHIN (Local Health Integration Network), especially for those on limited incomes who often forego this therapy when prescribed due to their fi -nancial means’ and ‘explore the ability of LTC Homes to serve as community care hubs that could provide community-ori-ented services, including home care, that may further assist local residents to age in place.’”

The proposal is to allow seniors in Gan-anoque to receive their PT at the Carveth Care Centre while still residing in their own homes.

“These facilities have the space, the interest and the expertise to provide more services to seniors in the community,” says Melles. “And because my colleagues and I are already here providing service to the seniors living in Carveth Care Centre, we could also help seniors from the rest

of the community in a really cost-effective way.”

The DPCA sees the problem as one of unequal treatment. They feel that seniors living in their own homes near the Carveth Care Centre should be entitled to the same access to OHIP funded PT services as sen-iors who live in LTC or retirement facili-ties.

During this time of fi scal restraint, the government has asked that high levels of quality be maintained without an increase in cost. Melles sees this as an easy solution to a diffi cult problem.

“The DPCA has gone one step further and has come up with a plan to increase our services,” he says. “By using the existing infrastructure and 3,000 physio-therapy staff across the province, we can provide cost-effective therapy to seniors in this community. We can ease wait lists for long-term care and decrease emergency room visits and hospital stays by keeping seniors stronger and healthier while living in their own homes.

“This is a smart plan. It maximizes pre-cious taxpayer dollars, and invests in the health of our seniors.”

Brett Gibson, owner/Administrator of Carveth Care Centre, agrees with the concept. “I feel this initiative can only benefi t the seniors in Gananoque and the surrounding areas,” he says.

BCC announces second season Granite Hall Dinner Shows line-up

Counties reduce tax rate, approve 2013 budget

By DOREEN BARNESEMC Entertainment – The public

is asking for more and the Brockville Country Club entertainment commit-tee, Jack Kenny, Bob Larocque and well-known entertainer A.J. Benoit have complied with another season of four very diverse 2013 dinner shows.

“Building on last year’s overwhelm-ing successes,” said Benoit, “the Brock-ville Country Club Granite Hall is pleased to offer this season’s Dinner and Show (Dance) Summer Series. These shows are opened to members and the general public with four featured shows.”

On Saturday, May 11, “Gordie Tapp and The Swing Tones”, a 12-piece or-chestra will play all the hits from the Big Band Era for people to dance to. Songs made famous by such orchestra leaders as Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and featured guest singer will be A.J. Benoit.

For those wanting to sit or relax with a delicious dinner and show, “Steppin Out” with The Best of Irvine Berlin will take place on Saturday, June 22.

This fi ve-person group will highlight Cliff Edwards from “The Belles” per-forming such hits as Puttin’ on the Ritz, Anything Goes, Blue Skies, Dancing Cheek to Cheek and many more!

If you like rock and roll, after a tasty meal, let “Freddy Vette and The Flames” perform for you on Saturday, July 20. These Jukebox Hits from the 1950’s will energize and entice you to dance or listen to the ultimate 50’s Rock & Roll Show with songs made famous by Elvis, Buddy, Little Richard, Jerry Lee and more.

Wrapping up the summer series will be our very own favourite, “The A.J. Benoit Variety Show (II)” on

Saturday, Aug. 24. This dinner show is building on last season’s sold out show. A.J. Benoit and his 11-person troupe will perform a variety of ‘New’ skits, acts, and songs as seen back in the Variety shows of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s! Four members of The Brockville and Area Performing Arts Hall of Fame will also be featured.

“These shows have been designed to make for an enjoyable evening of dinner and entertainment,” said Benoit, “and not keeping people out too late.”

All dinner and shows are $45 per person plus HST. Cocktails are from 5 to 6:15 p.m. with an enjoyable din-ner served at 6:15 p.m., consisting of a three-course meal followed with tea or coffee. All shows start at 8 p.m., con-sisting of two- 45 minute sets with a 20 minute intermission.

Additionally, this year, a VIP Wine and Cheese for sponsors and patrons at 5 p.m., prior to dinner is being offered.

“The Patron Package is $250 per per-son which entitles the recipient to attend all four shows and prime seating,” said Benoit. “Pre-show wine and cheese will be upstairs in the Dining Room plus ac-knowledgement in the show program as a Patron Member.”

Anyone interested in this sponsor-ship opportunity can call the Brockville Country Club for additional details, 613-342-2468 or email [email protected].

It is evident from the fi rst season that the Brockville Country Club Gran-ite Hall Summer Series Dinner Show/Dance had been effectively embraced by the community with an average booking which exceeded 250 people per show.

According to Benoit remarks regard-ing the premiere season’s shows have been very encouraging and supportive.

“Comments such as ‘I thought I was at a venue outside Brockville, especially with the room, the décor, and the acous-tics were fabulous; this is a great addi-tion to our community,’ were wonderful to hear,” stated Benoit.

To think that the Brockville Country Club invested extensively in renovat-ing the curling rink to be used in the off season May to August, for weddings, banquets, conference, trade shows and of course the Dinner Shows has shown great vision.

In obtaining grants to add air con-ditioning, acoustic and carpet tiles, a stage, theatre-grade curtains, pipe and drapery and more, indicates that the Brockville Country Club along with the second season of Dinner Shows under-stands the need to welcome the public to a comfortable setting.

Come and experience what the Brockville Country Club is offering; fantastic evenings of delicious cuisine with engaging shows and an occasion to dance.

EMC News - Leeds and Grenville ratepayers could see a decrease in their taxes after Counties Council voted to re-duce the tax rate while passing the 2013 budget in a regular meeting last week.

The United Counties reduced its tax rate by .62 per cent and will collect $32.5-million from property taxpay-ers in 2013. The budget is balanced, with expenditures and revenues at $103.3-million. Operations account for $82.9-million and capital expenditures $13.6-million.

“Overall, I believe the budget is af-fordable for our residents and at the same time it allows for progress in the Counties,” warden Ron Holman said.

“We have addressed the increased need for allocating more money for pub-lic works infrastructure improvement,” Holman said, noting the roads portion of the budget will see a two per cent in-crease, from $15.5-million last year to $15.8-million this year.

“In the preparation of this year’s bud-get we’ve had success in keeping costs

under control in many areas. We will continue our efforts in 2013 to look for further opportunities to keep our costs low.”

In a press release, counties treasurer and director of corporate services, Nigel White, said staff followed Holman and council’s direction to keep costs down while keeping services intact. “Coun-cil’s thrust was to keep the overall levy increase to 1.75 per cent for a total levy of $32.5-million,” White said.

A residential property owner whose assessment was $100,000 in 2012 and 2013 will see a decrease of $2.33 in their property taxes for counties purposes and would pay $373.52 this year. The impact varies for each taxpayer depending on the phase-in of the assessments over a four-year period.

“We are currently in the fi rst year of the four-year phase-in. There are prop-erties that did have a decrease in their assessment and some that had no change in their assessments from 2012,” said White.

Westminster Public School celebrated their new School Travel Planning project March 20 during a special walk and media event. Hosted by the Upper Canada District School Board, Heart and Stroke Foun-dation, Green Communities Canada, Healthy Com-munities Partnership of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Westminster is one of two schools in the UCDSB

which is participating in the STP pilot project. STPs get communities working together so children work-ing within walking distance of schools can walk and cycle safely to school each day. Students that day walked from Westminster to the Brockville and Area YMCA and back again. A special physical activity took place in the school’s gym (above), followed by speeches from the hosting agencies.

The work of renovating a bathroom starts with the plumbing and electricity.

The work of renovating a bathroom starts with the plumbing and electricity. Those steps should be entrusted to qualifi ed professionals who are aware of current building regulations and can con-form to standards.

Tell your plumber where you want the bathroom fi xtures, taking into account the layout of the fl oor joists and the position of the drain. Explain to your electrician where you need electrical outlets and ventilation. If you want a heated fl oor or a whirl-pool bath, he or she will ensure that there are free circuits available on your breaker panel. If there are none, the panel will have to be upgraded.

Painting the walls and ceiling and replacing the fl oorcovering are much easier when the bathroom has been stripped of its old fi xtures. Start with the paintwork and then proceed to the fl oorcovering;

be sure to choose coverings that are easy to main-tain and water and humidity resistant.

The next step consists of installing the new fi x-tures and the taps. If you have opted for a custom ceramic shower that has to be built on-site, start with that job, which shouldn’t present any dif-fi culty for an experienced handyman. Next, install the bath, toilet, and pedestal sink. Proceed with the sink fi rst if it is the type that is to be installed on a vanity or countertop. If you have a built-in sink, fi x it to the counter and then to the cabinet unit.

The next step is the installation of the cup-boards, drawers, and countertop, if the latter isn’t part of a vanity. Choose materials that are easy to maintain and water resistant. The fi nal step is to install light fi xtures, mirrors, towel racks, grab bars, and other accessories.

Some good reasons to hire a fl ooring specialistInstalling a new fl oor is a substan-

tial renovation project, and the skills required to do the job will depend on the fl ooring material chosen and the type of subfl oor. While linoleum squares, vinyl, and stratifi ed and laminated woods are relatively easy to install, ceramic or porcelain tiles and carpets are a lit-tle trickier to manage. Even if stone, linoleum, vinyl sheets, hardwood, and pre-varnished wood are easy to lay,

fi nishing work requires signifi cant time and effort.

Some projects are best done by a professional because of the complexity of the work. The quality of the installa-tion has a direct infl uence on the dura-bility and the comfort of the fl ooring. Poor installation can even reduce the life of the product. Laying tile or fi tting wall-to-wall carpet requires a certain set of skills. Firstly, the subfl oor needs

to be carefully prepared and any cracks in wood or concrete surfaces have to be repaired. Every type of carpet has its own particularities, meaning that a carpet with underlay, a glued carpet, or carpet tiles require different installation methods and fi nishing. Professional tile installers or carpet layers also remove old carpet or fl ooring and dispose of it in an appropriate manner.

Unless the home renovator is very

confi dent in his or her skills, it is also worthwhile to hire a fl ooring specialist to put in other kinds of fl ooring as well. The installation of a hardwood fl oor involves many different steps, including the laying of the wood, sanding, stain-ing, and varnishing. Unfi nished wood planks or strips must be sanded and fi nished in place. Pre-varnished mod-els are factory sanded and varnished, which greatly facilitates the installation.

Professionals can also repair or com-pletely refi nish wooden fl oors.

Stratifi ed, laminated, or fl oating fl oors are easy to install, as the planks have a system of grooves and tongues that do not require any gluing or nail-ing. However, with the help of a profes-sional your fl oor will never creak, it will last longer, and it will look beautiful.

SPECIALIST From page 33

A specialist will prepare the surface properly and install the subfl oor as well as the hardwood fl ooring. The cut-ting and assembling will be done with meticulous care in order to obtain a high quality fi nish.

When looking for a fl ooring special-ist, choose a competent professional who is recommended by construction contractors or by acquaintances who have used his or her services in the past. A fl oor layer will be able to discuss the various fl ooring products suitable for a renovations job and will be familiar with all the installation techniques the various materials require. Floorers are able to handle every stage of a job, from taking measurements, helping to choose the materials, to the fi nal installation. They usually offer free estimates and guarantee their work.

The proper installation of wall-to-wall car-peting requires professional expertise.

Laying a new fl oor is a big renovation project, and requires skill, time, and eff ort. PHOTO: DIGITAL VISION / THINKSTOCK

How to be a painting proChanging a room’s décor can be as

simple as giving the walls a new coat of paint. At least it can be, if you know all the tricks that will result in a profes-sional looking fi nish.

First of all, it is crucial to prepare the room thoroughly. This step, which often takes more time than applying the paint, is essential in order to achieve an impec-cable fi nal result.

Start by removing any large pieces of furniture and any objects that could be damaged by paint splashes. Plates around light switches and electrical outlets should also be removed, as well as any light shades. Next, protect the fl oorcovering with old sheets or a tarp. Ensure that any furniture that cannot be taken out of the room is well protected. Run a strip of masking tape or paint tape along all edges where there is a risk of getting paint, such as moldings, windows, and door frames.

All surfaces have to be prepared before starting to paint. Fill any holes

and modify any imperfections with wall putty and sand the walls smooth. Clean the surfaces to be painted and leave them to dry so that the primer and paint will adhere properly.

Before getting started on the actual painting, it’s a good idea to get some advice from a home painting specialist. He or she will be able to tell you if you need to apply a coat of primer fi rst and then calculate how much paint you will need for your project. This advice can save you time and money.

Now the time has come to put some colour into your room. Start by carefully applying paint along all edges with a brush: that means corners, window and door ledges, and at the top of walls along the ceiling. All you’ll have to do after that is to coat the rest of the walls with a roller in an up and down, down and up motion. Leave this fi rst coat to dry and then apply a second coat, or even a third one if necessary.

SINCE1989

Daily living in a work zone is never easy, but it isn’t always possible to move out while renovations or remod-elling are being done. Those obsessed with tidiness and cleanliness feel stressed by the ongoing mess, while oth-ers struggle to deal with the lack of privacy as work crews tramp around their home. In either case, the renovation nightmare has to be tolerated somehow. Here are a few tips that can help you deal with the invasion.

Firstly and most important-ly, ask contractors for their proposed work schedules and organize your timetable in consequence. As renovators are generally more concerned by the quality of their work rather than the dirt and dust it produces, the contents of the rooms to be renovated should be removed, if possible, and other rooms protected from dust by closing their doors. Clothes should be stored care-fully and perishable foods sealed to avoid them becom-ing impregnated with odours and dust.

If you have a pet you could try and fi nd it a more comfortable and less traumatizing home for the duration of the renovations. If you have young children living with you, keep them busy with outdoor activities. Every evening throw out any debris, clean up accumulated dust, and secure the work-

site to avoid any risk of injury. It is up to you to decide if you want

to get involved and supervise the work or give free rein to the contractors. The important thing to remember is that the experience has to be bearable for the home dwellers, all while ensuring that the end results are of the best quality.

Surviving in the renovation zone

To stay or not to stay during the renovations, that is the question.

Building a wine cellar isn’t as complicated as you might think, whether it’s simply a way to make use of some wasted space under the basement stairs or a remodelling of the children’s old playroom. The fi rst step is to choose a location where you can maintain a steady tem-perature between 11 and 14°C. To ensure the optimal ageing of your wine, the humidity rate should be kept between 60 and 80 percent. A good wine cellar compressor guarantees low energy consumption and will be able to regulate all these details.

Wine has to be stored in the dark as it is sensitive to light. Consequently, you should plan to use a windowless room with a ceiling light and switch. The most effi cient storage method is to use individual bottle racks, where the label for each bottle is visible and where your wine will be easily accessible. Piling the bottles one on

top of the other means moving them every time you come to choose a wine, and you will also risk disturbing the contents.

Plan to use building materials resistant to humidity, such as water-proof gypsum, which is specially designed to resist mold. To safe-guard the delicate fl avour of your wine, the raw materials you choose for the racks and wall coverings should be free of odours, which can fi lter through the corks and into your prize vintages. The fl oor can be covered in ceramic, marble, or stone, all materials that have proven their worth in humid conditions.

If undertaking a wine cellar remodel is a bit beyond your skill and budget, or if you like to keep things simple, another option is to buy an electric wine cellar that will be able to pamper your wine, hassle free.

Colts trample on Braves playoff hopes with back-to-back heart-wrenching victoriesEMC Sports – A thrilling CCHL

opening round series came to a disappointing end for the Brockville Braves last Friday.

Down 3-2 in the best-of-seven quarterfi nal following a last-second heartbreaker the night before in Cornwall, the Braves held a 2-1 lead after two periods. But the Cornwall Colts stormed back with three unanswered goals over the fi nal 20 minutes, won the game 4-2 and the series by the same count. The loss brings an end to a successful 2012-2013 Central Canada Hockey League season for the Braves who fi nished sixth overall in the 12-team league.

In front of more than 1,400 fans in the

decisive game on Friday, Cory Wilson and Ben Blasko had each blasted power play goals to put the home side up 2-0 by the 11:42 mark of the second period. But the never-say-die Colts had their defi cit trimmed to a single goal by 17:36 of the second period on Andrew Ming’s second of the post season and completed the comeback in the third.

Michael Pontarelli, the league’s top scorer this season, tied things 2-2 at 3:59 and Khalid Alli put the Colts up to stay 86 seconds later. An unassisted empty-net goal from Stephen Johnson with 36 seconds left in regulation sealed the Braves’ fate and sent them into the off-season.

After coming out strong in the fi rst period, outshooting the Colts 11-6, the Braves couldn’t maintain their momentum, even after going up 2-0. Colts wound up with a 31-21 shots advantage overall.

The series was tight all the way and could easily have gone the distance.

Game 5 the night before in Cornwall, the Braves were a single second from taking a 3-2 series lead. But with their goalie Jordan Piccolino on the bench for an extra attacker, Colts’ Mitch Zion banged home a loose puck from in front of the Braves net to knot the game 2-2 at the 19:59 mark.

In overtime, Brandon Howes was the

hero, notching the winning goal at 5:15. Chris Roll and Ryan Walter were the Braves goal scorers that night.

Brockville had tied the series 2-2 last Tuesday with a solid 5-1 win, the only

one-sided victory of the series. Roll had two goals and an assist – all in the fi rst period – and Blasko collected four as-sists to pace the Braves’ attack. Goalie Andrew Pikul made 27 saves in the win.
