Santa and Mrs. Claus visit BrockvilleEntertainment - Although the Brockville Santa Claus Parade theme was White Christmas, the weather on Saturday, Nov. 29 in Brockville was manageable as the 2014 Rotary Club of Brockville and Rotary Club of the 1000 Islands presented this year’s Santa Claus Parade. There were about 60 floats, including bands, emergency services, clowns, commu-nity groups, schools, dignitaries and the all-time favourite man in the red suit, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, above.

By CONAN de VRIESEvents - Anybody who has ever

looked at a Currier & Ives print and wanted to step right into the cozy Christ-mas scene will get the chance to do so this weekend at A Country Christmas Remembered in Spencerville.

From Friday, Dec. 5 to Sunday, Dec. 7, the charming little village will be decked out like it might have been 80 years ago and will be celebrating Christ-mas like it was the 1930s.

“I think this year is going to be a real-ly special year,” says Sandra Ketchum, one of the festival’s organizers.

This year’s edition of A Country Christmas Remembered is shaping up to be one of the most memorable, espe-cially so since it’s the tenth anniversary of the festival, which started out small and grew over the years to its present village-wide proportions.

The streets of Spencerville are full of people strolling about and horse-drawn carriages ferrying visitors from one venue to another, and this year will be no different, with all the old favourites returning, starting with the Starlight Pa-rade and fireworks on Friday night, and some new additions having been made to the lengthy lineup of events, with a focus on children’s entertainment.

As it has been from the beginning, the festival is organized entirely by volunteers and in partnership with the Spencerville Mill Foundation.

Lifestyle – It’s time to share your Christmas stories.

St. Lawrence News is seeking en-tries for our annual holiday season writing contest. We are inviting resi-dents of our coverage area to submit original stories (up to a maximum of 600 words) about a favourite, memorable or unique aspect of a past Christmas or New Year.

Please note on the envelope that it is for the story contest. The writer whose submission is chosen as the winner will receive a gift basket.

Share your holiday memories: Story contest opens

A centrepiece of A Country Christmas Remembered, the Spencerville Mill is a popular spot throughout the weekend, as there are always fun things going on there, such as the children’s emporium, where, with the help of some elves, kids can ‘shop’ for presents to give to their family. This year, the children’s empo-rium will be located on the mill’s second floor, so as to make way for Barnard’s Emporium, now open in its original lo-cation on the ground floor.

Entertaining kids and adults alike, Rock the Arts will be back this year with a new puppet show at the Town Hall, and

adding to the mix of kids shows will be the Prescott Kidz Choir, Junkyard Sym-phony and the JW School of Dance.

Santa’s Workshop is back, too, but new this year is a Facebook contest and a selfie scavenger hunt that will require participants to take photos of them-selves with their phones or tablets while following the course.

“There’s a really smooth blend of heritage and innovation,” said Ketchum of this year’s slate of events.

will feature a large craft market, a Christmas bazaar and the new Bar-nard’s Emporium at the mill. Food, too, is always a big draw, and there will be no shortage, with pancakes for breakfast, gourmet grilled cheese and waffles, East Indian delicacies, all-day lunch servings and a traditional turkey dinner at St. Andrew’s-Knox Presbyterian Church on Saturday.

Of course, this is but a small sample of the many new and returning events going on this weekend throughout Spencerville.

Many attractionsThere are so many other attractions

– a reindeer run, a buck-a-bag used book sale, a Lego day at the library, breakfast with Santa, to name just a few more. Anyone interested in see-ing the entire sked of events can find it online at acountrychristmasremem-bered.ca.

Not only is the weekend packed with fun things to see and do, but visitors won’t have to tax their credit cards to take part, which is especially important at this time of year.

“It’s always been a bargain,” says Ketchum. “You just can’t get any bet-ter than this in terms of pricing.”

For a mere $5, adults can purchase a bracelet that will allow them entry to all of the venues for all three days of the celebration, and admission to kids under 16 years of age is free of charge.

Bracelets can be purchased from Thursday through to the end of the weekend at Hubbard and Co., located at 15 Spencer St.

By JAN MURRAYEvents – Mark your calendars for

Friday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m., when you will want to be at Grace United Church at 120 Pine St. for the one and only per-formance of A Christmas to Believe In.

It is a community Christmas play, written by Kay Chatwell and orga-nized by Grace Church in Ganano-que. It offers a cast of members from Grace United, St. John’s, Cornerstone as well as others who have no church affiliation but just wanted to be part of this wonderful Christmas play.

“We wanted to do a play that ev-erybody could be a part of,” explained Laurie Cadue.

The play tells the story of a young man who is just not quite sure if he be-lieves in the story of the birth of Jesus. He is not easily swayed and in fact remains skeptical throughout most of the performance. Angels, wise men and many others offer compelling evidence and yet he is not easily con-vinced.

This is the first time that members of the community, not involved with

Events – Santa Claus will be appearing at pa-rades in Athens and Mallorytown this weekend.

Leeds & Grenville’s original Parade of Lights will take place in Athens on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. Firefighters will be collecting items for the food bank. For more information about the Athens parade, call 613-924-2720.

The 2014 Parade of Lights in Mallorytown is set for Sunday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. Entries will start lining up at the KOA at 3:30. Santa will visit the community centre after the parade. Food bank donations will be accepted at the parade. For more information, call 613-923-2251 or email [email protected].

the church have come together with area churches to put on such a performance. “It’s just such a wonderful way to share the Christmas spirit,” said Rev. Carl Emke.

“We wanted to do something for the community that could involve everyone since the public schools will not allow Christmas carols and won’t allow a religious portrayal of Christmas,” explained Emke. “So we thought why don’t we do something that we could open up to the commu-nity; a pageant whereas there are not a lot of lines, but still telling the Christ-mas story.”

Two narrators tell the story whilst a group of individuals portray the story. “We just thought, if we do something on a night when children and fami-lies can come out and if a child says, ‘hey can I go up there?’ I’m sure they could fit them in as a shepherd or a townsperson and they could just be a part of the play without any practice or the need to know any lines.”

In order to get the word out that the play was in the making, the church used social media outlets such as Fa-cebook to let people know and see who wanted to be involved. It was from there that people started reach-ing out, telling others who told others and so forth until, alas, the play finally came together perfectly.

It’s an evening to enjoy and spread the spirit of Christmas; a time to spend with family and friends, let go of the stress and simply sit back and take pleasure in the evening. Any offer-ing received at the performance will be donated to the Gananoque Food Bank.

By DOREEN BARNESEntertainment – The harmonious

assemblance of musical talent will be heard at Wall Street United Church, Brockville, for the Community Christ-mas show on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. These performers emphasize what residents already know, that there are exceptional musical abilities in the 1000 Islands.

“This Christmas show will be one and a half to two hours long,” said conductor Lance Besharah. “There will be soloists, choirs, bands, a quintet and Christmas carols.”

Ticket costs are adults $20 with se-niors and students $15, available at Dreamweaver Gifts, 62 King St. W., Aura Salon, 2 King St. E., Mr. C’s Gift of Music, 7712 Kent Blvd. and All You Need Music, 2117 Parkedale Ave.

“Featured are Christopher Coyea, Alex Fleuriau Chateau, Megan Quick, Deborah Dunleavy, Margaret Whisselle, Alexander’s Big Time Band, the Brock-ville Community Choir, St. John’s Unit-

ed Church Choir, the 1000 Islands Brass Quintet and I’ll conduct the Brockville Concert Band,” added Besharah.

Also, a 15-minute piece co-written by Howard Alexander and Deborah Dunleavy called La Befana’s Gifts, sponsored by a grant from Storytelling Toronto, will debut.

“La Befana’s Gifts is based on an Italian folktale about a little witch who brings gifts on Epiphany,” said Dun-leavy. “It’s a storytelling oratorio in that there’s narrative and musical accom-paniment. Essentially the story itself is precious because what happens is this little old woman is looking for the Christ child and can never find the Christ child. So, she leaves a gift for every child with the thought that there’s a bit of the Christ child in each and every child. That is the message.”

Dunleavy added that there will be 10 or 11 musicians and choir.

Also, tickets will be available at the door the evening of the performance.

News – There are plenty of reasons for optimism when it comes to the econ-omy, according to Gord Brown.

The Leeds-Grenville MP presented an economic update at a Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce break-fast held at CJ’s last Thursday, Nov. 27. The Conservative MP listed actions tak-en by the federal government to improve things for businesses and workers.

The small business tax credit and Employment Insurance (EI) premium reductions are examples of measures aimed at stimulating the economy and helping small businesses, Brown noted. He pointed out that the national unem-ployment rate of 6.5 per cent is the low-est it has been since 2008.

Brown also referred to trade deals with other countries; Canada now has 43 free trade agreement representing more than half of the global economy. The government is working with busi-ness to improve access to foreign mar-kets and removing tariffs and trade bar-riers, he said.

Closer to home, Brown spoke of the federal investment in regional broad-band as well the five-year, $48-million extension of the Eastern Ontario De-velopment Program (EODP). “I for one was leading the charge,” stated the MP, who noted local officials used to have to go and fight for EODP funding every year.

Although he indicated he could go on about all of the good things happen-ing, Brown offered a cautionary note in-volving Procter & Gamble and the mul-tinational’s sourcing study that includes

the Brockville plant. The MP said he has facilitated meetings involving high-ranking government and company representa-tives and has used all of his contacts and friendships. “The

situation remains fluid,” he commented.Brown added that the company had

indicated there are no impediments from the federal government.

The local MP credited officials within all levels of government as well as the private sector for their efforts, noting there is no magic wand when it comes to the economy.

“They’re all working so hard to cre-ate jobs,” Brown stated. “It really is one job at a time.”

In response to a question about job losses and the status of the Coast Guard base in Prescott by Augusta reeve-elect Doug Malanka, Brown said that the base has experienced “…a bit of a diminished presence” over the last 15 years, noting some of the changes have been the result of technology.

“We have a great facility there,” stated the MP, who said it is important to do everything possible to support the federal installation.

When an audience member suggested the public would prefer straight answers from government members in the House of Commons instead of sending attack dogs to respond to questions, Brown agreed that MPs need to be more re-spectful of each other.

“We need more civility in politics,” said the MP, who indicated he has al-ways tried to act as a role model.

Photos by DOREEN BARNESNews - At left, Nancy McNamara’s Victorian Turkey is one of the many quilts that line the upper part of the walls at the Brockville Public Library. The Brockville-1000 Islands Tradi-tional Guild of Rug Hooking was formed 40 years ago and the many talents shown in this exhibition are remarkable. As well in the display case are a variety of pieces that show the tools and materials used over the years.


Lifestyle - Going into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Moth-er delivered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough. Going into Renfrew for an en-tire day was pure rapture. Imagine! A whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote.

This only happened once a year, however. That was the day, usually in early December, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around. The excitement out on the farm would be at fever-pitch for days. And the night before, I was sure Mother and Father never even bothered going to bed. Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasn’t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under.

Fresh butter wrapped in wax paper, and Mother’s famous sticky buns sitting on pieces of square cardboard would be added to the fowl, in the hopes of earn-ing a few extra dollars. Before we chil-dren went to bed, we saw Father hitch up the team and bring the big flat-bottomed sleigh to the kitchen door, to cut down on the time needed to get an early start into Renfrew the next morning.

My sister Audrey had made sandwich-

es and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cook-ies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the afternoon. We would be leaving the farm early, after a hasty breakfast.

Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top. Each foul had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly. We knew the butter and mother’s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh. Parking the sleigh was another reason for going in at the crack of dawn. Where you parked was of prime importance. You hoped to be right in the centre of the main street. That’s where the townspeople

would be walking to look over what you had to offer, but more important, the big buyers, the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street. Of course, with the big sleigh covered with all the stuff Mother and Father hoped to sell, there was no room for us five kids, so we went in the double cutter, following behind, so full of excitement we could hardly contain ourselves.

Since it was so early in the morning, Father had no trouble finding a good spot right in front of Scott’s hardware, one of the busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses, and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street.

It wasn’t long until all the butter and the sticky-buns were gone. I could see

Mother’s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going to be good day. I could feel it in my bones! And the ex-citement of visiting the Five and Dime store was mounting by the minute.

And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear. They had red embroidery on their pockets; letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers, and they were all business, let me tell you. The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop.

They took off their big fur mitts and poked the turkeys, lifted a goose high the air and looked it over, and pinched the chickens. They moved away from

News - For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption and make informed choices. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, discuss when the limit is zero, and provide healthy alternatives and tips to decrease health risks.

When it comes to alcohol, drinking is a personal choice, and the majority of people drink responsibly. We’re not asking you to stop drinking … instead we want you to Rethink Your Drinking, and

gradually reduce the amount of alcohol you consume as part of a healthy lifestyle.

If you choose to drink, these guidelines can help you decide when, where, why and how. Remember during the holidays that when it comes to alcohol… choice matters.

The Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines can help you plan ahead when you are drinking by providing safe drinking tips and times when zero is the limit. “Choice matters” is an important topic because of the way alcohol impairs our judgment and reaction time.

CommentaryPhoto by TIM RUHNKENews - Departing Augusta Reeve Mel Campbell is thanked by Leeds and Grenville Warden Ron Holman at counties council’s final meeting of the current term on Thursday, Nov. 20. Camp-bell is retiring after serving two terms as head of Augusta council and twice as United Counties warden. He is among the five departing mayors and reeves (the others being Doug Struthers in Merrickville-Wolford, Frank Kinsella in Leeds and the Thousand Islands, Bill Sloan in Edwards-burgh/Cardinal and Dan Grunig in Westport) who will be succeeded by newcomers when the new Leeds and Grenville council takes office this month. Each departing member was presented with a hand-made pen made of wood harvested in Leeds County. A new warden is to be elected to a two-year term.

With the Christmas season in full swing and with news this past week that the Brockville Police Service is taking part in the Ontario-wide Lock It or Lose It Campaign, now is as good a time as any to remind a surpris-ingly large segment of the population that leaving car doors unlocked or leaving items of value inside a vehicle and in plain view is, in a word, stupid.

We respect the freedom of choice that local residents have when it comes to locking the doors of their homes, garages and vehicles. As much as it shouldn’t be the case, no one should be surprised these days when an unlocked car or truck becomes a crime scene. We know this has been an issue in portions of the South Grenville area for several years. Car owners find that someone has violated their property and made off with every-thing from wallets, purses, laptops and other devices. The police would report on the thefts and remind the public to lock their vehicles and not to leave valuables in plain view or in their vehicles at all. That would work until the next thief comes along and takes advantage of the opportunity provided by owners who haven’t learned their lesson or choose not to change how they do things just because of some petty crook.

And don’t rule out identity theft as a possible motive to open an un-locked door or two. Anyone who leaves credit cards or even credit card documents in a car could be at risk. Some police are now advising motor-ists to take vehicle ownership and insurance slips with them rather than leaving those materials unattended in a glove compartment – especially if those doors are unlocked. A kid stealing a few bucks from a coin holder is one thing; a more savvy criminal stealing your identity and ruining your credit is a much more costly possibility to consider.

So if a Brockville officer leaves a note on your car indicating which safety precautions have been overlooked, be thankful for the advice and do something about it.

GUIDE From page 8

Did you know it can take three hours to remove alcohol from your body from just two drinks?

During the holidays, and at all times it is important to remember that, ac-cording to the Ministry of Transpor-tation, even small amounts of alco-hol affect your brain, and it is hard to assess how impaired you might be. When are those times when zero is the limit? The guidelines recommend zero is the limit when you are:

• Driving a vehicle,• Doing any kind of physical activity,• Responsible for the safety of oth-

ers, • Making important decisions. • Taking medication or other drugs

that interact with alcohol (such as en-ergy drinks).

• Living with men-tal or physical health problems Planning to become pregnant and dur-ing pregnancy or breastfeeding are also times when no alcohol is the best choice.

During the holidays, you can choose many delicious alternative drinks to al-coholic beverages. Check out the mock-tail recipes on our website for just a few ideas that taste great and are good for you!

For more information on how to Re-think your Drinking, please visit our website: www.healthunit.org or call the Health ACTION Line at 1-800-660-5853. Like our Facebook page for im-portant public health updates.

the sleigh and whispered, nodded, whispered some more, and then moved back to our sleigh.

They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldn’t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock, and start counting out the money into Mother’s outstretched hand. Another of the men walked quickly away, and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh, and they began loading everything into the cavity that looked to me like it could hold two full grown heifers.

And then our sleigh was emp-ty! The look of sheer joy on Mother’s face was something to behold. Fa-

ther who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept say, ‘well, by golly...well, by golly’, as he lit and relit his pipe.

Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated before my eyes.

There would be no trip to the Chi-nese restaurant where we brazenly ate our bagged lunches, and didn’t spend a cent.

No stop at the bathrooms at the CPR station, and certainly no visit to the Five and Dime Store to look over the array of toys.

Although Mother and Father couldn’t believe their good fortune, with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat

men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop.

Turkey Fair Day was over for an-other year.

Mother could see our disap-pointment, and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoe’s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giv-ing us each a nickel to buy what we want.

Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christ-

mas candy. I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a

couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasn’t a total loss after all.

ENERGY $AVING$!Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energy-efficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Community - The Brockville and District Hospital Foundation (BDHF) applauds Tim Hortons’ efforts and acknowledges their generosity in raising $11,717 through the Smile Cookie Campaign in September. The participation of all five Brockville locations, plus additional sales at the hospital’s Charles and Gar-den Street sites, brought the total to $12,470, which will help provide for the screening and prevention

of cancer in the Ambulatory Care Unit at BGH. On hand for the cheque presentation: (from left) Brock-ville Tim Hortons owner Shane Joyce and General Manager Trudy Primeau, BDHF board member Ain-slie Coleman, BDHF Executive Director Joan Simon and BGH Director of Diagnostic Imaging, Operating Room, Ambulatory Care Unit and Patient Flow Deb-bie Wilson.

Events – A local gathering to mark the National Day of Action and Re-membrance on Violence Against Women will be held in downtown Brockville this weekend.

It was on Dec. 6, 1989 that a lone gunman killed 14 women at l’École Polytechnique in what became known as the Montreal Massacre; they were pursuing careers in a field that had tra-ditionally been the domain of men.

The Victim Issues Co-ordinating Committee of Leeds and Grenville hosts an event each December to hon-our the women murdered in Montreal as well as local women and children who live or lived with violence in their homes or were the victims of violence.

This year’s gathering will take place at O’Mally Kourt Fudgery, 55 King St. W., on Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. It is an inclusive event; all women, chil-dren and men are welcome to attend.

A locally produced video will be shown at the Dec. 6 gathering. There will be an introductory speech by fem-inist lawyer Pamela Cross, who fights for women’s equality. An indoor me-morial rose ceremony will also take place on Saturday afternoon.

Warm refreshments and fudge will be available. For more informa-tion, contact committee co-ordinator Courtney McCarney at [email protected].

Events – The Brockville Women in Business (BWB) group will hold its Christmas luncheon and silent auction at CJ’s Banquet Hall next Wednesday, Dec. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The event provides an opportunity for members to bring friends and col-leagues and introduce them to the local organization and to do some Christmas shopping at the auction. Auction pro-ceeds go to BWB’s two charity partners: Girls Incorporated of Upper Canada and Leeds & Grenville Interval House. The auction runs from 11 a.m. to 1:30

p.m., and the goal is to raise $5,000 to mark the group’s fifth anniversary.

Tickets to the luncheon are $25 each, payable at the door. Reservations are due by Friday, Dec. 5 at noon. Cancel-lations after that date will be invoiced. RSVP to [email protected]. For more information about BWB, call Terry Hare at 613-865-7100.

Women who actively work in or market their business in the Brockville area are invited to attend BWB lunch meetings held on the third Tuesday of most months.

News - The Queen’s University Band in tra-ditional tartan colours entertained the crowds of people along the pa-rade route in addition to the Queen’s Univer-sity Cheerleaders. The weather on Saturday, Nov. 29 in Brockville was manageable as the 2014 Rotary Club of Brockville and Ro-tary Club of the 1000 Islands presented this year’s Santa Claus Pa-rade.


Air Cadet program has much to offerCommunity – The Air Cadets of

661 Squadron in Prescott have a lot to reflect on as a busy fall schedule comes to a close.

Members of the squadron have had many opportunities to serve the local community since the annual startup of training this past September. Vol-unteer participation in area events has included the Spencerville Fair and food bank’s Bottom Line Challenge. November’s focus on Remembrance included many more opportunities for cadets to support area Legions in particular (Prescott, Cardinal and Iroquois) including poppy sales and church services in addition to Nov. 11.

The squadron’s affiliation with lo-cal branches of the Royal Canadian Legion is important to cadets, staff and sponsors alike. November marks the anniversary of the squadron’s of-ficial charter date (1957) and, as such, the unit holds a formal military mess dinner each year. Branch 105 (Cardi-nal) played host to 661 Squadron for this year’s event. Those in attendance were encouraged by branch President Dwane Crawford’s remarks. A former cadet himself with 661 Squadron in the 1960s, Crawford attributed much

of the success in his adult life to the training and experiences he had as a cadet in Prescott.

Training opportunities continue to be a highlight for 661 Squadron’s members. Recent activities have in-cluded a leadership seminar, aircrew survival exercise, glider flights and a day of powered flight as well. All of these activities happen in addition to regular training held each Tuesday evening at South Grenville District High School (SGDHS) and other re-curring events such as the squadron’s active marksmanship program.

For those area youth (ages 12-19) that may have missed the fall recruit-ing sessions, it is not too late to give the cadet program a shot. In fact, those who register in 2014 may still be eli-gible for summer training opportuni-ties in 2015. There are no membership fees to enroll in cadets, and uniforms are provided free of charge.

Fell free to stop by SGDHS on Tuesday between 6:30 and 9 p.m. to visit the squadron. You can follow us on Facebook or check out the national website at www.cadets.ca. Note that the last meeting night in 2014 will be Dec. 16; regular training resumes on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

By CONAN de VRIESCommunity - Once again this year,

many young people in the Prescott re-gion took the time and effort to put down on paper just how they feel about Canada’s illustrious war history and the brave soldiers who made it so.

The annual Remembrance Day Lit-erary and Poster Contest organized by Prescott’s Fort Wellington Branch 97 of the Royal Canadian Legion drew sub-missions from 180 students represent-ing schools throughout the area, and last week, after several weeks of judging, the winners of the competition were an-nounced at a ceremony held at the Le-gion last Tuesday.

Students could submit work to both literary and poster categories, with par-ticipants in the former writing either an essay or poem, and in the latter produc-ing either black and white or colour artwork—and all submissions were categorized by age into primary, junior, intermediate or senior levels.

The winners in the primary colour poster category were: Daya Gill (first place), Elizabeth Mussett (second place) and Lohith Karuppannan Selvaman (third place). In the primary black and white poster category, Lachlan Barton came in first, Mattea Barton in second and Sam Evans in third.

In the junior essay division, first place went to Ronan Brophy, second to Char-lotte Eyre and third to Warren Miller. Winners in the junior poetry division

were Madeleine Joanisse (first place), Riley Sharron (second place) and Jacob Eaton (third place).

Winners in the junior colour poster category were: Finn Brophy (first place), Madison Hutt (second place) and Austin Miller (third place). And in the junior black and white poster category, Luke Taylor came first, Madeleine Joanisse came second and Ronan Brophy fin-ished third.

Intermediate winners in the essay di-vision were: Lindsey Hoogwerf (first) and Zack Fournier (second). There was no third-place finisher. In the poetry division, Gabrielle Akey came in first, Kathryn Smith in second and Lindsey Hoogwerf in third.

In the intermediate colour poster category, the winners were: Zoey Carr (first), Zack Fournier (second) and Cait-line Lacroix (third). In the intermediate black and white poster category, Gabri-elle Akey finished in first, Zoe Adams in second and Tanner Hart in third.

In the senior categories, there were no entries in the essay division and only one entry in the poetry division, by Si-anna Barton, who took first place.

In the poster categories, though, there was a lot of competition, and, as she has done for the past several years, Sianna Barton took first place for her colour poster.

Finishing second was Kendra Paul and in third was Emily Pringle. In the black and white poster category, Harley

Photo by CONAN de VRIESWinners of the Remembrance Day Literary and Post-er Contest held by Prescott’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 97 were announced last week at the local Le-gion hall. There were 180 entries, and first place win-ners will move on to the zone competition. Finishing in first place in the various categories were (front,

from left) Madeleine Joanisse, Ronan Brophy, Gabri-elle Akey, Lachlan Barton, Luke Taylor, Finn Brophy, Harley de Vries, Daya Gill, Zoey Carr, (back row) Lind-sey Hoogwerf; Sianna Barton; Candy Alexander, 1st vice-president of the Legion; Frank Murphy, presi-dent; and Eric Place, 2nd vice-president.

Youngsters offer their images of Remembrance

de Vries took first place and Keith Delo-rme finished second. There was no third place.

All of the first place winners will now have their work forwarded on to the Le-gion’s zone competition, which will pit

their art, prose and poetry against works by students representing 13 different Legions from throughout this region.

ENERGY TIP!

Avoid washing dishes in hot running water. Fill the sink halfway, and then scrub away.

Events – Red and White FlagFest will be a celebration of all things Ca-nadian.

The inaugural one-day celebration in Brockville will take place on Sun-day, Feb. 15, the 50th anniversary of the country’s flag. Several events will be held at different locations through-out the city beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing throughout the day. The Canadian flag commemoration cer-emony near the giant flagpole in the Walmart parking lot will take place at 4 p.m. and include speeches and live music followed by fireworks at 5:30.

There will be a vendor village near the giant flagpole on Feb. 15; other events planned for that day include a snow park at Laurier Hill and sleigh

rides at Memorial Fields. Money raised through the sale of

passes (adult, senior, child and fami-ly) sold online and at venue will offset FlagFest expenses. Brockville council has agreed to underwrite a portion of fireworks-related costs.

Volunteers, sponsors and vendors are welcome to get involved. For more information and a preliminary schedule of events, visit www.brock-villeflagfest.com or email [email protected].

FlagFest had initially been pro-posed as a multi-day festival. Other Brockville events planned for that weekend will have a connection to the Canadian-themed activities on Feb. 15.

Lifestyle - Conceivably more than any other appetizer, warm Brie cheese hits the spot with guests. Cover with a stunning mix of sweet caramelized onions, tart apple and ruby-red sherry-laced cranberries and you know you have a winner. Serve with baguette slices.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 45 minutes Baking Time: 20 minutes Serves 16 as an appetizerIngredients 2 Ontario Onions2 tbsp (25 mL) butter 2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt1/4 cup (50 mL) dried cranberries 1/4 cup (50 mL) sherry or port 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced apple 1 wheel (450 g) double cream Brie

cheese

Preparation instructionsCut onions in half through root end,

then into 1/3-inch (8 mm) thick slices. In large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add onions, separating as you add. Sprinkle with sugar and salt; cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, reducing heat if starting to brown.

Meanwhile, combine cranberries and sherry in small microwaveable bowl; microwave on High for 1 min-ute. Stir, cover and set aside.

Add apple to onions, cook, stirring often, until apple is tender and onions are golden, about 25 minutes. Stir in cranberries and any remaining sherry that hasn’t been absorbed. (Can be cov-ered and refrigerated up to four days.)

Place Brie on shallow ovenproof serving dish. Spoon onion mixture on Brie and spread almost to edge. Loose-ly tent with foil. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until Brie sides feel warm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Serve imme-diately.

Barra MacNeils to appear at Arts Centre Dec. 9Entertainment – The Barra Mac-

Neils are bringing their Christmas tour to Brockville next week.

The musical family from Cape Breton Island will perform at the Brockville Arts Centre (BAC) on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

The Barra MacNeils - An East Coast Christmas is a musical pot-pourri of traditional MacNeil fam-ily favourites gleaned from Christ-mas ceilidhs, midnight masses and the general festive frolic that ac-companies each holiday season.

With their captivating vocals, distinctive harmonies and extraor-dinary musicianship, The Barra MacNeils inject new life and en-ergy into the sights and sounds of Christmas, prompting the Hali-fax Daily News to call them “a treasure of the East Coast, rich with tradition and unmatched in ensemble performance” and the Globe & Mail to call the recording on which this tour is based “one of the best five Christmas albums of all time!”

The five MacNeil siblings - Lucy, Boyd, Stewart, Kyle and Sheumas - combine on a vast array of instruments including accord-ian, guitar, piano, fiddle, bodhran, mandolin, banjo, Celtic harp, tin

whistles, bouzouki, flute ... all un-derpinned by the nimble-fingered Jamie Gatti on bass.

The result is a sound that is un-mistakably The Barra MacNeils, one moment a rousing chorus, then a hauntingly beautiful Gaelic bal-

lad, the next a flurry of foot-stomp-ing instrumentals, which of course pulls one then another into a step-dancing revelry.

For a delightful seasonal cel-ebration, don’t miss An East Coast Christmas with the Barra Mac-

Neils.Tickets ($50-$55 each) can be

purchased at the BAC box office on King Street West (613-342-7122). For more information, visit www.barramacneils.com or www.shantero.com.

By DOREEN BARNESNews – At a potluck dinner and

annual general meeting of the Brock-ville and District Horticultural So-ciety (BDHS) on Monday, Nov. 24, several awards and recognitions were announced, along with elections and installation of officers.

Incoming 2015 board members and directors included past-president Donelda Shackles, president Mary Ann Van Berlo, first vice-president Dave Cybulski, secretary Pat Herbert and treasurer Mary Ann Van Berlo.

As for directors, Ed Coon, Carol Gellrich, Danielle Laurier, Donna Nimmo and Joanne Rogers accepted.

In addition to a delicious dinner, photo competition, a silent auction took place along with voting on floral designs which adorned each table.

Attending this meeting was the On-tario Horticultural Association (OHA) district director Penny Stewart who brought greetings, talked about garden week, youth programs, increased bur-saries and a rotating flower show.

“The third week in June, the OHA has declared Garden Week in Ontario, setting up a website and encouraging

societies to post June events to this website,” said Stewart. “To bring the community out and become involved in gardening.”

Stewart also mentioned a district flower show will take place in Picton for 2015, in Gananoque for 2016 and Trenton for 2017.

As well she presented the District Service Award to David MacKenzie for his long service to a society for his civic work on the beautification pro-gram, being a board member, news-letter editor, judge for Community in Bloom, plus much more.

“It is because I had help and she (his wife Marilyn) has done every-thing that I have,” said MacKenzie.

The winner of the Floral Design Competition was Patricia Barlow, for the Photographic Competition Award was Mary Ann Van Berlo and the Brockville and District Horticultural Society Volunteer of the Year Award went to Donelda Shackles for her years of service and dedication.

Community – Hunger is a growing problem and it affects people from all walks of life, even people right here in our own community. It might be your friends, your neighbours; it might even be you.

In 1995, then 12-year-old Craig Kielburger captured world-wide atten-tion when he took a stand against child labour. This was just the beginning. Kielburger started an organization known as Free the Children. This year, Riverside Ford together with Free the Children invited area schools to partake in Free The Children’s We Scare Hun-ger Campaign.

Riverside Ford challenged area high schools to collect much needed food for area food banks. We Scare Hunger is a global initiative kick-started by Free the Children aimed at encouraging not only students but all community groups to contribute to the collective goal of raising one million pounds of non-per-ishables for local food banks.

“Hunger is an issue that affects people from all walks of life so the ser-vices that food banks provide can make a huge difference for a family going through a difficult time,” said Henny Stegeman, service advisor at River-side Ford in Brockville. “In a tight-knit community like ours, it’s everyone’s re-sponsibility to help one another which is why Riverside Ford is proud to sup-port this worthy cause.”

Stegeman took the ball and ran with it, contacting schools and getting the information out there. South Gren-ville District High School (SGDHS) of Prescott and Thousand Islands Second-ary School (TISS) in Brockville jumped on board.

“Riverside Ford offered an incentive to students from South Grenville Dis-trict High School and The Thousand Is-lands Secondary School participating in the We Scare Hunger campaign with a $1,000 prize for the school that collect-ed the most food for area food banks,” added Julie Oliveira, business manager at Riverside Ford.

TISS used Halloween as its focus and managed to collect 1,264 food items for the Brockville Food Bank through trick-or-treating.

SGDHS divided students into teams and encouraged students to create dif-ferent strategies and compete against one another and in the end raised 1,320 food items for the South Grenville Food Bank, and hence earning them top spot in the race to erase hunger.

Stegeman and Oliveira were both so impressed with the combined efforts of both schools that they awarded second place prize to TISS for $500.

“Leave it to kids to use their imagi-nation and creativity to make something mundane into an exciting and reward-ing activity,” said Stegeman.

On Nov. 24, nine students from

SGDHS and three from TISS gathered at Riverside Ford where Scot Birnie of Riverside presented the schools with

their respective cheques. It was also at that time that SGDHS stu-

dents were able to make a presentation of

their $1,000 winnings to Roger Arcand, chair of Food For All Food Bank South Grenville.

News – Officials with the United Way of Leeds & Grenville are hoping the community will come through as it has in the past.

The organization was predicting a 2014 fundraising campaign shortfall as of last week. This year’s goal is $1.1 million. The local United Way provides funding to 28 member agencies that of-fer programs and services used by about one in three residents of the United Counties area.

The projected shortfall was based on some companies that had significant cutbacks, according to Executive Direc-tor Judi Baril. It’s not just the industrial sector that have experienced losses, she noted; “it is across the board.” The po-

tential shortfall was estimated to be be-tween $50,000 and $75,000; the annual fall campaign is usually slated to end in early December.

The United Way promoted “Giving Tuesday” (Dec. 2) as a way of encour-aging donors to make contributions. Giving Tuesday, which follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is a new Canadian movement in which charities, businesses and individuals “…join to-gether to share commitments, rally for favourite causes and think about oth-ers.”

Anyone who would like to donate to the local United Way can call 613-342-8889 or visit the office at 42 George St. in downtown Brockville.

United Way needs help to reach goal

Business – The Christmas season and the weeks leading up to it are typically characterized by gift-exchanging, enter-taining and shopping. And while most consumers are focused on gifts and food at this time of year, shopping for a home can also be rewarding.

“Determined home hunters should keep an open mind when shopping for real estate,” says Costa Poulopoulos, president of the Ontario Real Estate As-sociation. “While the supply of homes

tends to decline during the winter months, there also tends to be fewer buyers which may mean less competi-tion for anyone seriously contemplating a purchase.”

Sellers are generally aware of the challenges with listing a home before the holidays, so if something does come up on the market, it may be because the owners are eager to sell, adds Poulopou-los.

For anyone planning to continue your

home search before and during the holi-days, here are a few things to bear in mind:

Supply: there may be fewer homes to choose from, but of the homes available for sale you may have less competition to deal with when making an offer.

Weather: the homes you visit may al-ready be covered with snow which may hide exterior defects; ask to see photo-graphs of the home taken earlier in the year and rely on a home inspector to tell

you about any potential faults.Availability: speak to your realtor,

mortgage broker and lawyer about their availability during the holiday season in the event that you need to move quickly on an offer and everything that follows.

Make time: the process for buying a home and the paperwork that follows is time consuming; try to keep your other priorities organized so that you are ready to act if a home that you are interested in comes up.

“If you’re eager to get ahead of the busy spring market, talk to your real-tor about looking into homes that aren’t yet listed but that are being prepped for sale,” says Poulopoulos.

More information is available at www.wedothehomework.ca.

This article is provided by local real-tors and the Ontario Real Estate Asso-ciation for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market.

Where do you get ideas for the perfect holiday gift? Entertainment - From Pin-

terest to Instagram, the digital world is awash with places shop-pers can go to discover unique and thoughtful gift ideas.

But not all shoppers have rushed to source their gift ideas from the latest social media

hotspot.A new study reveals that

almost half of Ontario shop-pers have used print flyers as a source of gift giving inspiration. The study also shows that while people may spend more time online than ever before, 97 per

cent of Ontario shoppers still read and rely on printed flyers, and many of them – 86 per cent – take the time to read their fly-ers on a weekly basis.

“You may think that in our digital world print flyers would factor less in consumer decision

making, but we found the exact opposite,” said Ian Oliver, presi-dent, Metroland Media. “Shop-pers became quite emotional when we asked them how they use flyers. And as it turns out, flyers continue to play a signifi-cant role in how we decide what

we want to purchase.”

In the survey, Ontario shop-pers revealed that they consider flyers to be a critical guide for finding deals and learning what products are out there when they need to make a purchase. While

the most popular kinds of flyers are sent to customers from gro-cery and mass merchant chains, at least half of Ontario shop-pers depend on the flyers they receive from department stores, fashion retailers, sporting goods and electronics stores.

UCV adds five-storey Ferris wheel to Alight at NightBy BILL LAURIN

News – More than one million multi-coloured lights will be cast a Christmas season glow on Friday, Dec. 5 at Upper Canada Village as the 14th annual Alight at Night festival opens for a 29-day run (select nights) through Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015, 5 to 9 p.m.

In addition, visitors will be provided an opportunity to witness a stunning view of the magical winter wonderland from the seats on a 50-foot-high Ferris wheel that has been erected in the village fairgrounds.

The Ferris wheel rides are included in the admission price and will provide sweeping views of Saint Nick’s Merry Mansion, a spectacular transformation of Crysler Hall around which an all new Sound and Light Show has been installed.

Three new Santa-themed songs,

including Run Rudolph Run, make up the 20-minute show which runs every hour on the half-hour, plus thousands of flashing lights and lasers. Admission also includes horse-drawn wagon rides and toy train rides.

Once inside Saint Nick’s Merry Mansion, youngsters especially will have an opportunity to view a Victorian-era Santa dressed in a luxurious red suit with rich brocade.

“A team of UCV seamstresses was tasked with creating the hooded Victorian cloak,” says Susan Le Clair, St. Lawrence Parks communications manager, “and they have come up with something that sets our Santa apart.”

Santa is available to the children for photo opportunities and to hear Christmas wishes through Tuesday, Dec. 23, intending to provide a “real

Santa Claus” experience. “Almost every year we add something

new, make improvements to existing elements and try to improve the overall experience for our visitors,” said Geoff Waycik, manager of Upper Canada Village. “For many, a visit to Alight at Night is part of their family holiday tradition.”

Added to the annually expanding program is a Special Needs Night on Tuesday, Dec. 9, a Fun Lunch with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 13, Romantic Pommier Rides, carol singing performances at Christ Church, UCV cinnamon buns baked in the wood-fired oven of the Village Bakery, and Christmas-themed dinners at several of the St. Lawrence Parks eateries.

“A full team of St. Lawrence Parks employees requires a six-week period to construct Alight at Night,” Le Clair adds, “and while one team is dismantling the Halloween season Pumpkinferno the

Christmas team is building the Christmas presentation.”

“Attendance in past seasons has topped 35,000 visitors and of course we have hopes of drawing more than those numbers each year,” says Le Clair, adding, “but with these shows being so weather dependent we never know how the final numbers are going to turn out.”

Alight at Night has been named one of Ontario’s Top 100 Events three times by Festivals & Events Ontario. Advance ticket purchase, particularly during the holidays, is recommended.

The festival has helped turn the Cornwall and the counties region into an overnight tourist destination in what has traditionally been considered a non-tourism season for this part of Eastern Ontario.

Specific details of all aspects of the presentation are available on the Parks of the St. Lawrence website, www.AlightatNight.ca.

Campaign draws traffic, provincial award to 1000 Islands tourism teamNews – Prestigious top honours were

recently awarded to 1000 Islands Ac-commodation Partners (TIAP) and 1dea Design + Media Inc at the 2014 Tourism Industry Association of Ontario Awards gala.

The local organization’s 2013 annual campaign took home the top prize of the evening with the prominent Tour-ism Advertising Award in the Market-ing Awards of Excellence category. As a finalist for both the Tourism Interac-tive Marketing Award and the Tourism Advertising Award, 1000 Islands Tour-ism was up against major players from across the province, showcasing its creative impact, effective partnerships, inspiring marketing, as well as its fresh take on marketing the 1000 Islands re-gion. The organization earned the top nod for the Tourism Advertising Award against other finalists including Ottawa Tourism and Tourism Partnership of Ni-agara.

The Ontario Tourism Awards are a celebration of excellence and an op-portunity to recognize those who have made a significant contribution to the tourism industry. The awards honour a commitment to tourism growth, while celebrating significant achievement in promoting the tourism industry. Essen-tially, the Marketing Awards of Excel-lence recognize the results achieved when sharp strategy and impactful cre-ative are united.

Hundreds of tourism professionals from across the province gathered at Blue Mountain Resort to engage in in-dustry trends and forecasts, share best

practices, network with colleagues and to recognize industry leaders at the an-nual Tourism Awards gala. There to accept the award was Kathrine Chris-tensen, executive director of TIAP as well as Trevor Trewartha and Karen Bonhomme of Kingston’s 1dea Design + Media Inc

Christensen said the organization and marketing creative partner were filled with excitement and gratitude at achiev-ing such a high honour.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be in such esteemed company with the other finalists and humbled by receiving the award,” Christensen said. “Our thanks go out to Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation for their sup-port, our Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport representative, Mr. Blair Har-ris, and to our regional partners at the Regional Tourism Organization 9, and all of our community partners. Special thanks to the board of directors of 1000 Islands Accommodation Partners who put great trust and faith in both myself and 1dea Design + Media to create and deliver world-class programming that drive awareness, visitation and receipts for our unique, beautiful 1000 Islands.”

Trewartha and Bonhomme, strategic director and creative director respect-fully at 1dea Design + Media Inc., were proud to be recognized as part of the 1000 Islands Tourism team for winning the 2014 Tourism Advertising Award at the tourism summit. The 2013 TIAP marketing campaign revolved around the promotion and marketing of a “Win an Island for a Week” contest to drive

traffic to its website and region. “Our entire advertising campaign almost ex-clusively promoted the contest itself,” stated Trewartha. “It’s the perfect way to create engagement and a call-to-action in advertising that’s sometimes hard to find. Who wouldn’t want to enter a free draw to ‘Win an Island for a Week’?”

In turn, contest entrants were asked a series of questions pertaining to their travelling habits. The May to October campaign attracted over 13,100 contest entries and nearly tripled TIAP’s year over year website traffic to just under 62,000 visitors. “By visiting the contest landing page, we were able to introduce

Gananoque and the 1000 Islands to con-sumers who may not have otherwise known the 1000 Islands existed,” added Trewartha.

A loving thank you to my children, Gerald and Shirley, and their families for all their work and planning for the party held for me on the occasion of my 90th birthday. As I celebrate my 90th year, I wish to thank all of those, past and present, who have made my life full and enjoyable. I have been blessed by wonderful family, friends and neigh-bors, many of whom were kind enough to help me celebrate my birthday by attending the party. To all who could not come but sent cards, thank you. There are not enough words to express the joy you brought to me that day. I will never forget it.

Love, Lois Hunter

I would like to express a sincere thank you to all those who sent flowers, cards, gifts and kind wishes for my 90th birthday celebration. A special thank you is extended to friends and relatives who travelled from far and near and to my family for planning such a wonderful afternoon and evening. God bless each of you.

To Sir Henry with thanks!By DOREEN BARNES

News – In addition to celebrating his 95th birthday in November, vet-eran Henry Stevens of Athens was recognized with the Knight of the National Order of the Legion Hon-our by decree of the President of the Republic of France.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, Stevens’ Sec-ond World War service was acknowl-edged by General Hervé Gobilliard, president of the Société des Membres de la Lègion d’honneur at the Cana-dian War Museum in Ottawa.

There were 16 Canadian veterans at this ceremony receiving the same insignia.

Athens Pharmasave owner Don-nie McElwain, a good friend, accom-panied Stevens to this prestigious event.

In recognition, McElwain planned a “Sir Henry Day” at the pharmacy on Friday, Nov. 28 for friends to drop by to congratulate Stevens, to have a slice of cake and receive an Oh Hen-ry chocolate bar.

“It’s an honour,” said McElwain. “We owe him a great debt. He hit the beaches of Normandy, June 6, D-Day. They were told that most of them would die or be captured before they went into battle. It changed the history of the world. We cannot even

imagine.”When Stevens was notified of the

French honour by letter, he admitted that it did get to him, emotionally.

“I got a letter the other day from our Canadian government approving the wearing of the insignia, (the rank of Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour); otherwise, I couldn’t wear it if they had not ap-proved it,” said Stevens. “The veter-ans that received this badge had to be D-Day veterans.”

Stevens was with the armoured corps, trained others to operate the radio and climbed the ladder to staff sergeant.

Upon leaving the military, Stevens worked in construction, as well as becoming a minister with the Inde-pendent Assemblies of God Interna-tional.

“Last year, I performed a wed-ding,” added Stevens.

Throughout the day, Leeds-Gren-ville MPP Steve Clark presented two scrolls, including one from Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown. Athens Mayor Herb Scott also attended the celebration.

In addition to this impressive de-cree, Stevens’ birthday was on Sat-urday. As well, he and wife Doris are celebrating a wedding anniversary.

Stevens cut the delicious cake with the depiction of the Knight of the National Order of the Legion. This award joins Ste-vens’ other medals that he wears.

Photo by LAURIE WEIRThe TISS Pirates won the senior boys volleyball championship at the Upper Canada Cup in Smiths Falls last Wednesday, Nov. 26.

TISS sweeps RedHawks to win volleyball titleBy LAURIE [email protected]

Sports – The Thousand Islands Sec-ondary School Pirates used pool play as a warm up to the Upper Canada Cup finals last Wednesday in Smiths Falls, earning the senior boys volleyball cham-pionship in two games straight to take the title.

Conrad Walpot, coach of the Pirates, said the team was focused, knowing it was a championship match. In their first match against the hosting Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute RedHawks, the red birds swept the Pirates in two straight.

“The first match of the day, we weren’t playing as well as we could,” Walpot said. “As the day progressed, we just got better and kept on playing better.”

The Pirates had to get past the Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils, who had a few players missing with injuries. “It was a good day, de-spite the injuries,” said Kelly Paul, the Blue Devils coach. “We’ve got illness

and injuries. Of course, with basketball starting right now, we’ve got some ankle injuries, and we had one not even make it to the bus today.”

Perth claimed the second set, 27-25, of their semi-final bout against the Pi-rates to tie the match, forcing the third game, which TISS rallied to win, 15-8. TISS took the first set 25-18.

“Perth gave us a good match,” said Walpot. “I don’t think Smiths Falls played us as hard as they did in their first game.”

Going from a half-court day to a full-court final didn’t seem to hinder the play of the Pirates.

“For us, no it doesn’t bother us,” Wal-pot said. “We try and practise on a full court; playing half-court doesn’t happen too often through the season. We have been to other tournaments too where we’ve played centre court, so we have some experience there. It’s a little bit different, but we adjust.”

As for the finals, the coach said it was a good match. “We could have played better but I’m happy with the results.”

Sports – The Island City Black-hawks completed their whirlwind five games in nine days with a successful record of four wins and one loss.

“Our guys have played ex-tremely well this season and as long as we ice a full squad we will be very competitive.

We keep finding different ways to win and that’s been fun,” Black-hawks’ management said about the team’s play this season.

Starting last Wednesday night in Spencerville the Blackhawks hooked up with the Bull Dogs and eventually wore down the home team leaving town with a 7-2 vic-tory.

Last Saturday night at the “Barn on Broadway,” the Blackhawks hosted their arch-rival Prescott Old Timers and ended up winning 4-2 in a hotly-contested match.

And finally last Sunday morn-ing, the Blackhawks journeyed to Winchester for a tilt with the Old Hawks.

The Island City crew rode the goaltending of call-up Tyler Dun-nington to record their eleventh win of the season. The game resem-bled an old-fashioned pond hock-

ey game and the score r e f l e c t e d as much – 14-10.

W i t h Blackhawks regular goal-tenders not ava i l ab l e , Dunnington was given the call. He doesn’t play goal a n y w h e r e on a regu-lar basis, so that makes the youngster’s win last Sunday morning in Winchester that much more impressive.

The Blackhawks held 4-2 and 9-3 first and second period leads before the home team put on their offensive push in the third. The Old Hawks scored seven third period goals including two in the final minute when the game was already out of reach.

They closed the gap to 9-6 early in the third before the Blackhawks woke up and lit the lamp five more times.

Josh “But-terball” Bray-ton, “The Velvet Fog” Rob Carter and “Big Red” Scott Murray each recorded hat tricks

Single goals were scored by “The Smilin Assassin” Tyler Markell, Jon “Dr. Smooth” Cross, Fred “ B u b b l e s ” Dunning ton , Jordy “The

Younglad” Whiteland and Travis Cauley.

Blackhawks 4, Prescott Old Timers 2

The Blackhawks used Bray-ton’s second goal of the game midway through the third period to seal the deal in this battle, win-ning 4-2.

This intense rivalry didn’t dis-appoint, as both teams battled hard and left everything on the ice. The

Hawks held a 1-0 first period lead and headed into the third with a 3-2 edge.

Besides Brayton’s two goals, the Blackhawks got their other goals from Carter and Daryl “Stumpy” Whiteland.

Blackhawks 7, Bull Dogs 2

Will “The Dangler” Thomson scored twice to lead the Black-hawks to a convincing 7-2 win over the Spencerville Bull Dogs last Wednesday night in Spencer City. The Hawks wore down their short-handed canine crew and eventually put them away.

Besides Thomson’s two goals the Blackhawks got their oth-er goals from Carter, Brayton, Markell, “The Silencer” Trevor Murray and Luke “I’m Getting Better” McArthur.

The three wins the Blackhawks recorded last week improves their season record to 11-2-2 and that will be put to the test this Saturday night at the Barn on Broadway. The highly-explosive Morrisburg Flamingos come to town for the first time this season.

Reader questions dealership charging for time when problem isn’t foundLifestyle - “Hi Brian,I read your column with interest and

have found many tips along the way. The column about recall info caught my attention as my car was one of the ones affected by the ignition switch problem. I scheduled an appointment, took the car in to the dealership where I had bought it and didn’t wait long before it was ready to go. After watching Fifth Estate (or was it W5?), I was really concerned. I thought some “pin” in the ignition would be replaced. But no… all they did was to attach a piece of “something” to the key itself, to make the ring-hole in the key smaller.

My question is… how does making the keyhole smaller, affect the igni-tion itself? My car is a 2012 Buick Lu-cerne.”

APThe GM ignition-switch recall (where

the switch was replaced) for the Buick Lucerne only involved vehicles up to

the 2011 model year.Your vehicle’s call-back was to re-

duce the size of a key ring you can at-tach to your Buick’s ignition key. Even with a properly working ignition switch, carmakers (not just GM) are urging peo-ple not to attach anything to their igni-tion key. Your dealer took the correct action.

“Hello Brian, I enjoy reading your articles on the problems with the check engine light coming on in vehicles. My 2012 Ford Explorer was sending a check brake system warning periodically and I

was unhappy with the way Ford deals with these types of problems.

I have an extended warranty for 150,000 km with no deductible. I was charged $100 for a dealer to check on this. They could not find the problem so they charged for the service. Later I took it back to my original selling dealer and they replaced a circuit board and that seems to have resolved the problem. I think Ford should repay my $100 but they say no. Is there any other way of resolving this?

Ford told me it is their policy to al-low dealers to charge for their time if they cannot find the problem. My policy is not to pay Ford for not being able to find a problem with their own vehicle. Ford did eventually resolve the brake problem afterwards and did it under my warranty.”

I would appreciate your com-ments. SB

Thanks for the readership and ques-

tion. When it comes to diagnostic time required to identify specific repairs or parts needed, few dealerships or their technicians are ever happy with the time given by automakers in their warranty labour time guides. Some diagnoses are easy taking only a few moments for an experienced tech and some take hours with shop manual diagnostic manuals requiring multiple tests on components and wiring harnesses that are often hard to locate and reach. That being said, this should be an issue between Ford and its dealership(s) not Ford and you. Offering a warranty that doesn’t cover all the labour is really of no value. The implied terms of most warranties indi-cate that if a covered part is found defec-tive, the labour to diagnose and replace it will also be covered. About the only exception to this would be the extra time to remove non-factory equipment to ac-cess the part (having to take off trailer hitch you installed to access a covered

bumper part for example). Carmakers also won’t cover consequential damages such as lost time at work, replacement fuel, etc. But they spell this out up front in their warranty contracts and book-lets. I would suggest sending a letter to Ford of Canada’s head office customer service department along with copies of the two repair invoices and formally re-quest your $100 back.

With the frosty weather quickly ap-proaching, this week’s tip involves a way to reduce the amount of frost build-ing up on the inside of your vehicle’s glass. This hint came to me from a thoughtful reader some time ago. The main cause of thick white frost appear-ing on the inside of the windshield, door windows, and back glass is the amount of moisture inside the vehicle. Snow and slush melting on floor mats, wet outer clothing, steaming cups of cof-fee and our own breath can combine to make the inside of our vehicles very hu-mid indeed. When we exit the vehicle, we take away a lot of this humidity with us, but the moisture on the floor can rise up as long as the interior is warm and it will collect on the glass surfaces where it turns to frost as the vehicle cools down and the outside temps dip. Other than removing your vehicle’s floor mats from time to time and drying them inside your house, you can limit the amount of moisture that collects on the glass by cooling down the floor just before you park the car for the night. For the last few kilometers of your journey home, turn down the vehicle’s heating system temperature to as cold as you can take it. Leave the fan running at speed to help quicken this process. The lower temps of the wet floor mats will reduce the amount of moisture that rises to the glass and will mean quicker defrosting in the morning.

By DOREEN BARNESNews – A Finding Your Way meeting was

held at the Brockville Convention Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 25, with many community agen-cies, retirement home administrators, public health and multicultural organizations adding their voices to developing a communication plan and a future plan of action.

Facilitating this meeting was Sandra Lawn of Sandra S. Lawn and Associates, Inc., who introduced several speakers throughout the day including Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville education and support coordinators Sean McFadden and Mary Campbell, as well as Samantha Mattai taking about Medic Alert, Philippe Martel discussing Ontario 2-1-1, as well as Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Ser-geant Jeff Arnold regarding search and rescue of missing persons.

In addition to the two plans, the goal of this meeting was to enrich the understanding of safety and risks, plus establish and strengthen partnerships to benefit all.

Included in Ontario’s Action Plan for Se-niors is Finding Your Way. To roll out this pro-gram, partnerships were made between Ontario Seniors Secretariat with the Alzheimer Society of Ontario and the OPP.

The premise was concern, need for aware-ness and prevention of death as a result of miss-ing person incidents.

To put this in perspective, as of 2012, a quarter-million Ontario seniors are living with dementia and six out of 10 go missing, with warning.

For those not found in 24 hours, can result in injury or death.

According to statistics, about 75 per cent of missing people are found within a quarter-mile of their last known location.

Finding Your Way is to raise awareness of the risk of people with dementia going missing, to help prevent missing incidents with a safety plan, to support the safe return of people, to

share successes, challenges, resources and tools, plus have a local action plan.

This can be achieved through public aware-ness and education, increased resources for family and caregivers to improve prevention and preparedness, as well as build new partner-ship which will improve service to the hard to reach people and their families affected by Al-zheimer or dementia.

Some prevention resources mentioned were to identify people at risk of wandering, complete and regularly update a Finding Your Way Identification Kit, a completed four-page tool with essential information to be used for searches and register with MedicAlert® Safe-lyHome

A discussion also ensued around carrying locating devices.

All the programs tools can be downloaded and printed from the Finding Your Way web-site: www.findingyourwayontario.ca.

McFadden spoke about dementia, what it is and what Alzheimer disease is. She noted that 103,700 new cases or one case every five min-utes were detected in Canada in 2008.

Those with dementia or Alzheimer have a tendency to wander, which is a normal symp-tom, but the challenge is to balance personal freedom with personal safety.

Some common reasons why people wan-der are loss of memory, changed environment, searching for the past, excess energy, confusing night and day, a job to perform, discomfort or pain and dreams.

All those diagnosed with dementia should be considered at risk of wandering and getting lost.

Other unique traits of a person with demen-tia are not aware that they are lost, walk in a straight line until stuck (obstacle in way), will not walk out of a wooded area as they will stay stuck, often end up in a secluded spot hidden by brush or other covering, get caught in briars or bushes, found in creeks or drainage areas, will

not call for help or respond to name, searchers listen for singing or whimpering and are often found by neighbours or people driving by.

As Sergeant Arnold told those present, make the call to 911; time is essential.

(Editor’s note: See next week’s edition for personal stories related to Finding Your Way.)

Events – The celebration of Advent began at St. John’s United Church on Sunday, Nov. 30 with a full day of events.

There was a “5th Sunday Breakfast” offered to members of the public and the congregation. Whenever there is a month with a fifth Sunday, this outreach breakfast program is offered to those in need of a hot breakfast.

During the worship service later that morning,

the children and young people invited the congre-gation to take a gift suggestion from their “Giving Tree”. The congregation chose gift ideas for those people who come to this downtown church looking for assistance.

St. John’s United is also supporting the local OSPCA and “I Am Alive” rescue shelter with ne-cessities for our animal friends.

At lunch time, the St. John’s faith family gath-

ered for a potluck luncheon at which time Christ-mas cards for the residents of the local nursing and retirement homes were signed with a personal holi-day greeting penned for each card.

Later in the afternoon, a Christmas carol sing-along was led by the St. John’s Church Choir and enjoyed by both our congregation and members of the public.

On Saturday, Dec. 6, the annual Holiday Food Festival will be held in the St. John’s United Church Hall from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

An excellent bake table with seasonal treats, Wilton cheese products, handcrafted gift items,

Christmas decor, jewellery and raffle baskets will all be available for sale. A tasty lunch of home-made soup, sandwiches, desserts and hot and cold beverages will be available for $7 per person from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Doors open at 9 a.m. for this annual holiday tra-dition.

On Sunday, Dec. 14, the St. John’s United Church Choir will be presenting its Christmas Can-tata during the worship service beginning at 10:30 a.m. The St. John’s Choir is led by Miss Anne Landon and includes Chris Coyea, Alex Fleauriau-Chateau and Harold Hess - all familiar names on the Brockville music scene.
