Brockville’s newest resi-dent, Axton James Cass, born at 1:44 p.m. on Thurs-day, Jan. 3 at Brockville General Hospital, sleeps soundly as mother Jordan Wheeler and father James Cass grin from ear to ear with their newest bundle of joy. Axton, weighing eight pounds and 10 ounc-es, 23 inches long, kept mom and dad waiting for the right moment to come into this world. He was due on Christmas Eve, but waited till the new year to appear. Older sister Lean-na met her little brother later the same day Axton was born. The given name was derived from a favou-rite video game that James likes to play. The middle name is after Axton’s dad, as well as many other rela-tives on both sides.


By DOREEN BARNESEMC News – With a smile

on her face, centenarian Hilda Scott Davies welcomed her lovely family and dear friends to her birthday party at Maple View Lodge in Athens.

Among the guests who showered Hilda with love were her eight grandchildren and fi ve great-grandchildren.

Born on Dec. 27, 1912, on a farm west of Maxville, little did Hilda know that one day she would become a nurse.

“Grandpa, her father died of cancer in the early ’30s,” said son Neil Scott. “Mom took care of him and he was impressed (by her tender at-tention) and he said, ‘Hilda, you have got to go to become a nurse,’ and so that prompted

her to do that.”Hilda took the train from

Cornwall to Brockville to en-roll in a nursing program. She graduated in 1937.

As a nurse, Hilda held a su-pervisory position and early on practiced her profession in the Cornwall Hospital.

“Nursing was her whole life,” said Scott.

Scott remembers his mother as a person who helped others. She delivered babies and sat up all night long with people who were ill.

Hilda met her future hus-band when Ted Scott was admitted to the hospital as a patient. “He lived north of Junetown,” said Scott. “One thing led to another and they got married.”

There were three children in the family. Besides two sons Neil and the late Donald, there was also a daughter Mary.

“They moved from the farm in Junetown in ’47 or ’48,” said Scott. “Dad had hurt his back and so they moved to Athens.”

When asked about Hilda’s hobbies, Scott referred to col-lecting antiques, curling and the Maxville Highland Games.

“In the early ’70s, she be-came very interested in an-tiques,” recalled Scott. “She went to auction sales, bought and sold antiques. Actually she started an antique store.”

Besides her hobby of an-tiquing, Hilda also liked to curl while she lived in Maxville.

Scott’s parents started the Anglican Church in Maxville which still exists to this day.

“The Maxville Highland Games were a great part of her life which started in 1948,” said Scott. “Until three years ago, she had only missed one attendance to the Games.”

Although Hilda has been healthy most of her life, she has a low tolerance to choco-late and dairy products.

“Mom eats a basic meal and is a very good sleeper,” said Scott.

Hilda lived in her home for many years before entering the Van Horne Manor and has only been at Maple View Lodge for a year and a half.

A memory that Scott shared

and holds dear is the love that was shared in the family while growing up.

“Like everyone else while we were growing up we didn’t have a lot of money, but we certainly had a lot of love in the house which was shared freely,” said Scott. “Mother and dad have always been very supportive of me, my sister and my brother.”

Scott feels that his mother’s good genes have led her to this milestone in her life.

“She is one of fi ve girls,” said Scott. “Her sister died at the age of 93.”

Happy Birthday Hilda!

palliative care EMC News - The Masonic

Rising Sun Lodge (#85) re-cently presented a cheque for $1,500 to support the Brock-ville and District Hospice Pal-liative Care Service (BDH-PCS) based at Brockville General Hospital.

“We raised the money with something new – a skeet shoot,” says Lodge Senior Deacon Doug Miller. “It was a friend to friend invitation to spend an afternoon at the Golden Triangle Trap and Skeet Club just outside Brock-ville. It was very successful,” he adds. “We had 64 attendees and almost half tried the skeet shooting. It was a great day.”

Rising Sun Lodge, located in Athens, is part of the Ma-sonic St. Lawrence District of 17 lodges in the region encompassed by Brockville, Lanark and Kemptville.

Organizers seek contestants for chili contest Jan. 26 in Gananoque

EMC Events - Do you have a great recipe for home-made chili? Would you like to enter it in a competition for fun and a chance to win some cash?

Help us warm up the com-ing month with a pot of your best chili served up at the Lansdowne Community Cen-tre on Saturday, Jan. 26. The Gananoque & District Hu-mane Society Winter Warm-up Chili Cook-Off contest is on that day.

This is a fun, informal fund-raiser that has been gathering momentum and the public is encouraged to participate. What goes best with chili, besides cornbread and cole-slaw, is a nice cool beverage so the event will be licensed this year. There will be music with some local bands. Have some fun if you’re not head-ing south!

Doors open at noon for family fun – lunch includes tasting as many chilis as you want, with sides and a pop, coffee or tea for only $10 for adults or $5 for kids. You can vote for your fave chilis in several categories. There’ll

be a silent auction and a bake table, books for sale, and maybe a few crazy games. At intervals during the day local musician Cameron Smith will be playing along with some buddies. We are still search-ing for another band – so if you’d like to volunteer please give organizers a call.

As the day goes on swing into the dinner hour and be-yond for a party – chili, mu-sic, dancing, refreshments.

The bonus is you’ll be helping support the grassroots unpaid all-volunteer Humane Society that serves Lansdowne and a large part of TLTI - both cats and dogs, who would oth-erwise be homeless.

To register as a contestant email: [email protected] or call 613-923-5098. Please use these contacts to fi nd out where you can buy tickets in advance. If you would like to volunteer at the event help is very much wel-comed, so please call for that, too. It was great fun last year.

Photo by DOREEN BARNESOn Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, four Brockville city councillors, left to right, David LeSueur, Jane Fullarton, Mike Kalivas and Jeff Earle along with Mayor David Henderson (seated) greeted residents at the New Year’s Levee. These council members were piped into the main foyer of City Hall. In the mayor’s New Year’s address, he indicated that the reality is that as a city, we have choices, to either sit back do nothing and be content with memories, or re-invent ourselves as a city where investment is welcomed. He expressed that with the existing council they are willing to have bold discus-sions with residents as to where this city should be focusing. Also in attendance were Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, United Counties of Leeds Grenville Warden Ron Holman, Lt. Col. Shawn Herron, the Brockville Infantry and Brockville Rifl es. The refreshments were catered by Food for Thought.

By DOREEN BARNESEMC News - “January is

Alzheimer Awareness Month and the Alzheimer Society is launching a new campaign, See me, not my disease. Let’s talk about dementia,” said Denise Wood, Alzheimer Society of Leeds-Grenville executive director.

Wood noted the intention is to address misinformation about the disease, change people’s attitudes and help people to talk more openly and honestly about demen-tia.

According to information received from Alzheimer Society of Canada, in 2011 there were approximately 747,000 Canadians living with dementia with 14.9 per cent aged 65 or older.

It is believed that in the next 20 years, 1.4 million Canadians will be affected by dementia including their families.

According to Alzheimer Society of Canada media re-leases, those worldwide, liv-ing with dementia are more than the 2010 total population of Canada, which was 35.6 million people, not to men-tion the health care costs.

“Alzheimer is the most common form of dementia,” stated Wood. “It is a degen-erative brain disorder, an ill-ness that should not defi ne a person. Fearful of the stigma associated with dementia; people may delay asking for needed help as they are of-ten fearful and embarrassed. We have to stop stereotyping people with dementia.”

Just because a family member or friend has demen-tia, it doesn’t mean that they should be treated without re-spect and dignity.

“It’s time to break down

the half truths and look at the disease differently,” indicated Wood. “By acknowledging only the disease, people with a dementia can be prejudged. People with dementia are the same as they still have unique talents and skills. Dementia affects everyone in a differ-ent way with the progression varying from person to per-son. Please

do not make assumption, get the facts.”

For those who wish to test their attitude towards demen-tia, there’s an online quiz at the Alzheimer website, www.alzheimer.ca. You may surprise yourself!

Dementia has no cure and for the Alzheimer Society of Canada, research is the key priority for Alzheimer dis-ease, with searches into the cause, prevention, medica-tion and hopefully an even-tual treatment.

Symptoms of dementia and the physical changes to the brain include memory loss which affects their daily functions, changes in judg-ment and reasoning, diffi cul-ty performing familiar tasks, problems with language and the change in mood and be-haviour with the symptoms becoming more acute as time passes.

Alzheimer accounts for two thirds of all dementias.

Other dementias are vascu-lar dementia, frontotemporal dementia (including Pick’s disease), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Lewy body de-mentia.

It is extremely important to consult your physician if you suspect a dementia or exhibit any of the above symptoms. Some symptoms could be as a result of a depression, thyroid disease, infections or

side-effects of medications.By getting an early diagno-

sis the person with a demen-tia or Alzheimer disease can access the proper treatment, support services and most importantly become knowl-edgeable about the disease and what may or may not be in store in the future.

The Alzheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville has been supporting and encouraging families and those with a de-mentia for 25 years.

The Society provides, support groups including Caregiver Support Groups, Early Stage Support Groups for Individuals with Demen-tia, ‘Just for You’ Support Group, MedicAlert - Safely Home Program, assistance in fi nding community ser-vices, resource centre and a loaning library, public and professional education per-sonnel, newsletters, mem-bership, Got the Tools, I’m Ready to Cook! - men’s cooking course, My Creative Self... Living with Dementia Through Art program in part-nership with St. Lawrence College.

“The Society receives funding from the South East Local Health Integra-tion Network, (SELHIN) for some programs,” said Wood, “but the remaining funds are raised through the generous donations from our com-munities. With your help we can continue our important work.”

Anyone wishing to sign up for the Dementia Through Art classes at St. Lawrence College please call the Al-zheimer Society of Leeds and Grenville, 613-345-7392 or toll free at 1-866-576-8556.

To help residents learn more, the Alzheimer Society

of Leeds and Grenville will be offering an evening with Dr. (Rebecca) Jane Rylett, professor of Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicol-ogy, Department of Physi-ology at the University of Western Ontario, at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 23. This will be a free will offering.

Also, on Thursday, Jan. 31, from 1 to 3 p.m., dur-ing Senior Day at the 1000 Island Mall, Brockville, the caregivers and their families will be having a Bake Sale in Centre Court with compli-mentary coffee available.

On Thursday, Feb. 14, Val-entine’s Day, there will be a dinner/dance at Bud’s on the Bay from, 7 to 11 p.m.

The second annual Fox Run by the River Walk for

Memories is slated for Satur-day, May 25 in Gananoque. More details to follow.

EMC News — The 30-Hour Telethon for Pallia-tive Care Services recently presented a cheque for $173,000 to the Brockville and District Hospital Foun-dation (BDHF) for pallia-tive care service support.

Held on Jan. 28 and

29, 2012, the 29th annual telethon matched its funds raised in 2011. To date, over $2.3 million has been raised for palliative care services by the 30-Hour Telethon.

“This coming January will be our 30th annual

telethon,” says Telethon Committee Chair Bruce Wylie. “I don’t think the founders of the telethon ever envisioned it lasting for 30 years.”

The 30th annual telethon will be held Jan. 26 and 27, 2013. Wylie says the hope

is that it is a very special event, with more people involved and more support for the service to mark the 30th anniversary.

The Brockville and Dis-trict Hospice Palliative Care Service is based at Brockville General Hospi-

tal (BGH), and has served the Leeds & Grenville com-munity for over 30 years.

Hard-working group“We are really privileged

to have such a great event and hardworking commit-tee to support the Brock-

ville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service,” says Ruth Lockett, Vice Chair of the BDHF board. “As someone who supports the telethon, I can say it is a well-run and well orga-nized fundraiser year after year.”

30-Hour Telethon for Palliative Care presents cheque for $173,000


Nominate your volunteersEMC Editorial - Time is ticking – there are just over

two weeks left to nominate community volunteers for the Ontario Volunteer Service Awards.

Volunteerism in Leeds and Grenville is everywhere – from the more than 150 people who gave of their time in the recent Salvation Army Kettle Campaign, to the many folks who bring the Brockville Museum to life, alongside the paid staff. Another shining example of volunteerism in our area is in Gananoque – the Gananoque and District Hu-mane Society is wholly volunteer run and managed – there are no paid staff members. Everyone devotes their time for free.

Also in Gananoque in November, the Ladies Auxiliary from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 92 served up a meal, prepared with items that were donated and support received from local companies. This special dinner has been taking place for more than 25 years.

The Ontario Volunteer Service Awards came to be in 1986. Since that time more than 150,000 volunteers have been honoured through this program. The awards recognize volunteers for continuous years of commitment and dedica-tion to an organization. Adults are recognized in fi ve year increments from fi ve years to 60 plus, while youth, under the age of 24 are acknowledged in two-year increments.

Those who receive the awards are nominated by the organizations they are involved with whether that is a not for profi t group, a board they may be sitting on, sports orga-nization, - of course this is just a short list. The list is quite long when talking about volunteer work and its various possibilities and avenues.

If one were to take all the volunteer hours a nominee may have put in over the course of fi ve years, 10 years, or even 60 plus, and translate that into the dollar equivalent imagine the savings that fi gure would represent. Most volunteers say they get more out of it than they put in – but really when it comes to not for profi ts a penny saved is also priceless.

Nomination deadline is Jan. 25. For more information or to nominate someone for these awards please visit the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration or follow this address http://www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/citi-zenship/honoursandawards.shtml.

DEAR EDITOR:I feel the time has come for me to speak out on behalf of a

group in Ontario society that has been singled out for special persecution: those dedicated men and women entrusted with the education of our youth.

On Thursday, Jan. 3 Education Minister Laurel Broten (un-fortunately, there is no “Hardy” on the team) announced plans to impose a contract on the province’s teachers. The last time I checked, a “contract” was something mutually agreed upon. Surely it is misleading to describe what’s happening to Ontario teachers as a contract.

To make matters even more interesting, the minister also in-tends to repeal Bill 115, the legislation the Liberal government cynically calls the “Putting Students First” act. As one union leader was quoted as saying, that is very much like bringing back capital punishment in order to get rid of one especially trouble-some individual, and then abolishing it again.

What we are really seeing here is a pre-election ploy that has gone seriously off the rails. Instead of making a serious, concerted effort to reduce the Ontario defi cit by implementing the recom-mendations in the Drummond Report – a report this government commissioned, after all – the Liberals decided instead to cut costs by singling out one group it believed wouldn’t have a lot of sym-pathy from the general public. With all due respect, ladies and gentlemen, what the hell did they think would happen?

Those who are prepared to swallow government propaganda whole believe that this entire dispute is taking place because teachers won’t accept a wage freeze. The reality is that unions quite some time ago stopped fi ghting for better wages, and are fi ghting just to maintain the rights they have won for their mem-bers over many decades. There is a principle at stake here: do public sector workers still have the right to collective bargaining, or don’t they? If the province is at risk from crippling debt – and there seems to be little doubt that is true – then why should one group bear the brunt of a token effort to impress those who take this problem seriously. It would be far better to take the time to develop a rational approach to reduce government spending all across the board, in all sectors.

Coverage of the ongoing dispute has tended to attract such in-citeful online comments as: “I don’t care about the government or the teachers, so it doesn’t matter to me what happens.” But regardless of whether you think teachers are overpaid or have too much time off, or not, there is a larger principle at stake. History has shown that when the public stands by apathetically while one group’s rights are trampled, it won’t be long until other groups are next. If it turns out that contracts aren’t really worth the paper they are written on, teachers won’t be the only workers in the province who will be up in arms. Just wait and see.

EMC Lifestyles - No one minded the winter back in the ’30S. The colder the better. When the temperature dipped below 30 degrees, we knew the Bonnechere would be frozen solid, and it was safe to put on the skates. We kids were happy.

My three brothers and Au-drey had real skates, but mine were hateful bobs, the two bladed kind that were as dull as dishwater, which I had to use until the day my teacher arrived at the rink behind the Northcote School with a pair of black, blade skates for me. It didn’t bother me a bit that they were miles too big for me. Mother simply stuffed the toes with Father’s wool socks, and I was ready to hit the ice!

Once the Bonnechere was ready, the boys, which always included the Thoms from the next farm, began the job of cleaning off the river. There were no fancy shovels back then. Father had nailed a piece

of heavy tin to a board, and that worked perfectly. It was impossible to avoid cracks and bits of ice sticking up out of the frozen river, but there was enough of a surface cleared that a dozen of us could skate at the same time.

Surviving many winters, and summers too, was the lean-to Father made to shelter us when we wanted a rest. It was made of several boards nailed to a couple two-by-fours and propped against a cluster of cedars which had been cleared of their lower branches. Two small nail kegs held a plank so we could sit down under the lean-to. At the time, I doubted there was a better place to skate in all of Renfrew County!

Of course, I never went very far from the house with-out a lunch. So always, as well as toting down my skates to the river, I carried a brown paper bag with a sandwich or two, and perhaps a cookie as

well. I had to guard this bag as if it were money from the bank, since I learned one day that when I went to have my snack, all that was left was a bit of wax paper scrunched up inside. No one admitted to the dastardly deed, but I strongly suspected my brother Emer-son, and do to this day!

The Thoms were big strap-ping boys, like my two older brothers, and they pretty well took over the ice. They played hockey, dominating most of the ice surface, and we girls were relegated to a small cor-ner of the Bonnechere.

There was no net for the goal, simply two blocks of wood about fi ve feet apart at

either end of the cleaned off surface. My youngest brother Earl, the smallest of all the boys, was always the goalie, which he didn’t relish one bit. He wanted to SKATE! He accomplished this by letting so many goals in that he had to be replaced. Earl was no dummy!

Of course, there was no money for a puck. But by the time winter had really settled in, and everything was frozen solid, horse buns were perfect substitutes. There was always a little pile of them sitting at one end of the cleaned off Bonnechere, so that when one split apart, another one was al-ways at the ready. I shuddered when I saw my brothers, with a pitch fork, sift through the manure pile at the back door of the barn until they found just the right size and shape to use in their hockey games!

Fun on the Bonnechere went all Sunday afternoon. And when it came close to

the time we had to head back to do the chores, we went to the lean-to and took off our skates, and trudged home. We always left enough time be-tween skating and the chores to allow us the treat either Mother or Aunt Bertha Thom had ready for us. With Mother it was hot chocolate and gin-ger cookies! But at Aunt Ber-tha’s, it was hot chocolate and cupcakes! It’s hard not to re-member the wonderful smell of those cupcakes as soon as we walked into the Thoms’ kitchen door.

There was nothing fancy

about our rink on the Bon-nechere. There was nothing fancy about the skates we wore... my brothers and sis-ter’s coming from a shoemak-er’s store in Renfrew, traded for a few chickens and some of Mother’s sticky buns.

It was a time when we made do with what we had. I don’t think we ever had a real hock-

ey puck. The horse buns suit-ed just fi ne. And long before Frisbees were invented, in the wintertime, when everything had frozen solid, there was nothing better to hurl through the air, than a solid “cow chip.” I never liked to be on the receiving end of one, but my brothers never tired of hurling them at each other, the greatest fun coming when one broke in mid air over some-one’s head!

Winter was a time of great frivolity. When the day came to a close, and with our outer clothes draped over the wood box beside the Findlay Oval to dry, our cheeks would be crimson, and often I could barely keep my eyes open to eat my supper. And I would look around the table, laden with food, all produced on our own farm, and I would think, I was just about the luckiest little girl in all of Renfrew County.

Nothing like skating on the Bonnechere to turn cheeks crimson

Having healthy babies in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark is a partnershipBy DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – Editor’s note: The following is part one in a series of articles on the part-nership between the Brockville General Hospital and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit regarding the best practices for newborn baby, mom and dad.

In 2012, the Brockville Gen-eral Hospital’s (BGH) Mater-nity Unit celebrated 100 years. Most people are not aware of the partnership that exists be-tween the BGH and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit (LGLDHU).

Together, the health unit, BGH and local midwives work closely to ensure that the pub-lic is given the most accurate up-to-date information.

In fact, expectant parents are urged to call the MacLean Maternal Child Unit at the BGH for a visit, to become ac-quainted with the area before their baby is born.

“I’ll often receive phone calls from people who would like a tour,” said Jennifer Torode, director, acute medi-cal-surgical inpatient services, maternal-child program and interprofessional practice. “We like to have a staff member accompany the parents to an-swer questions. Or sometimes people will just call to ask questions, which is fi ne. We also have a lot of phone calls from people who have a con-cern during their pregnancy, at any time of the day. They want to know if this (what they are experiencing) is normal.”

Torode quite often will ask the person to come to the hos-pital for an assessment.

“They come in and depend-ing on their gestation, we will put them on a monitor, do an assessment, call up the physi-cian and say this is what we are seeing,” indicated Torode. “Usually the physician will come at that point to take a look at things. The person is

either discharged or we keep them.”Prenatal classes

For those wanting to attend prenatal classes, sessions are offered by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit along with family plan-ning, Healthy Babies Healthy Children program, Newborn Screening, Infant Hearing, Baby Talk and so much more.

“Physicians who have pa-tients that deliver through our unit are supposed to send us their prenatal records ahead of time,” stated Torode. “We usually see them by 32 weeks. That is the same for midwives as well. We like them to do that and to say to their patients that they are to pre-register, so when the day comes when they need to deliver we are not ask-ing extra questions because we

have the records.”The MacLean Maternal

Child Unit is trying to facilitate a seamless process for them.

“The prenatal classes cover a lot of really great material,” offered Torode. “If a person has birth related questions about their hospitalization and what they can expect, the Health Unit will defi nitely tell them to contact the Brockville General Hospital.”

Or the Health Unit will sug-gest they contact the hospital in which they will deliver their baby.Breastfeeding

For newborns, breastfeed-ing is promoted by the Brock-ville General Hospital. In fact, there’s a breastfeeding stan-dard of care.

“The breastfeeding standard of care refers to recognizing

a parent’s choice within the understanding of informed choice,” said Torode. “We make sure the parents have the information they need. It is discussed in prenatal class and is reinforced throughout the pregnancy.”

Another alternative would be a breast pump, where the mother can provide the milk which allows others to feed the infant. Colostrum or fi rst milk which is also referred to as ‘liquid gold’ by some is the fi rst milk from the breast which contains all the nutrients and antibodies that will establish the intestinal fl ora and protect against infection.

This limited milk will kick-start the digestive system with nutrients in a concentrated low-volume form with a mild laxative effect to encourage the

newborn to pass the fi rst stool.“Colostrum is chock full of

antibodies and has a slightly higher sugar content and it gives the baby what they need in the fi rst window of two days before the milk starts,” said Torode. “It’s designed for them to get a little bit and not a lot, why? You want them to keep coming back especially in the fi rst 48 hours, you want the baby to return to the breast frequently so that it establishes the amount of milk that the mother will produce. It works like demand and supply. What you do not demand of your breast to produce, it will not produce.”

Torode, who has taught prenatal classes, tries to stress the importance of the newborn coming back time and time again to breastfeed.

It’s a natural process and by the third day the infant will know how to breastfeed.

According to Torode, wom-en come in with preconcep-tions about breastfeeding and formula use which is derived from a generation of women who are giving birth with par-ents, and grandparents who did not breastfeed.

“We had a big push in the ‘50’s, ‘60’s and even into the ‘70’s for breastfeeding being the better alternative. So many women do not have families with a history of supporting them as a normal type of prac-tice.”

As Torode indicated, wom-en at one time all had a ‘circle of women’ in the community. They attended each other’s births, met and worked togeth-er with a lot of feminine rela-tionship to help support the de-cision making of that parent.

Formula was not available years ago, so women breastfed their baby.

“The women, themselves are not the keepers of the knowl-edge anymore and so they cannot turn to their mothers,

grandmothers and wise women of the village to provide them that information,” said Torode. “Nurses have become the key person of the secret knowledge. In today’s society as nurses, we are trying to educate and pass that on.”

Torode admitted that en-couraging women to breast-feed is an uphill battle because the only reference that women have are their mothers, sis-ters, aunts, grandmothers who quite often say that breastfeed-ing didn’t work for them, so it probably will not work for the pregnant woman when she de-livers her baby.

Although BGH’s statistics for exclusive breastfeeding are not very high, the breast-feeding with supplementation is a tad higher than exclusive breastfeeding. “One of the key statistics they found that women who breastfeed in the fi rst hour of post birth,” said Torode, “and again in the sec-ond period of re-activity (with-in that next four-hour period); if you capitalize on those two windows, those women breast-feed longer and have more suc-cess.”

There’s a fallacy that a new-born’s gums should be wiped at least twice a day, according to Torode that’s not necessary as the milk carries antibodies to fi ght infection.

It’s all about education and what is normal for the baby.

“I can tell you that the Pub-lic Health and nurses here are participating more together in educational opportunities as well,” offered Torode. “I have them come into the Unit and do some shared knowledge with part of it being breastfeeding. It has dovetailed nicely into the work that they are doing. They have begun to offer breastfeed-ing courses to their own staff and the nurses at large. What you hear in the hospital should be what you hear in the com-munity.”

New quilting business living up to its nameBy CONAN de VRIES

EMC Business - Quilters from throughout the region now have someplace to go for material, supplies, service and advice with the grand opening of We R Quilts in Prescott.

The shop has been open on Churchill Road in the town’s north end since August but now that it’s up and running and building a name for it-self, it was time to bring in the mayor for an offi cial ribbon-cutting.

On Saturday, Dec. 8, May-or Brett Todd helped owners Laurel and Tracey White for-mally launch the store.

We R Quilts caters to ex-pert and beginner quilters alike, offering an extensive selection of high-quality fab-rics, batting, books, patterns and thread. The shop also has a long-arm quilting machine and features a large, well-appointed workshop where the owners hold classes and help customers with their cre-ations. They even offer altera-tion services.

Before We R Quilts opened its doors in late summer, there was nowhere local quilters living between Brockville and

Cornwall could go for the kind of sales and service offered by the new store in Prescott.

Laurel had been quilting and sewing for decades and

her daughter, Tracey, fol-lowed in her mother’s foot-steps about 10 years ago. The family is from British Co-lumbia originally but moved

to this region in 2001 when Laurel’s civil service position was transferred from BC to Ontario.

After her retirement, Laurel and her daughter began toying with the idea of turning their mutual hobby into something more.

“We had the opportunity to start a business and we want-ed to do something we really enjoy,” says Tracey.

Open for little more than four months, the store is be-ginning to develop a reputa-tion for quality goods and knowledgeable, friendly ser-vice.

“Tracey’s excellent with colour,” says Laurel. “She’s good at helping people pick out colour combinations.”

Business has been good, and the quilting fraternity, which is quite large—and

growing—in the region, is loyal to a good shop where they can get what they need, when they need it and at good prices.

The name of the store was originally going to be Quilts R Us, but a large toy store with a similar-sounding name is quite protective of the “R Us” moniker and the Whites were forced to come up with some-thing else.

“I wanted to keep the back-wards R,” says Tracey, whose father came up with the idea of turning the name on its head.

And so ‘We R Quilts’ (with a stylized, backwards ‘R’ in the logo) became the name of the new business, and quilters from throughout the area are beginning to realize that Lau-rel and Tracey White are liv-ing up to the name.

Photo by CONAN de VRIESThe mayor of Prescott, Brett Todd, helped Laurel White (left) and Tracey White, owners of We R Quilts, offi cially open the quilting shop in Prescott’s north end last Satur-day, Dec. 8.

Cat of the week: Tanisha arrived at shelter with her siblingsEMC Lifestyle - Tanisha

came to us as a kitten with her mom and two siblings in November 2009. We were the fi rst exposure they had to humans so trust had to be earned. Unfortunately when your momma has taught you to keep your wits about you and be on the alert at all times you have a tendency to bond more quickly with other cats

than with humans. But this black, medium-haired beauty has now been with us for three years! She is a fl oor cat in the Sunroom, which means she always has freedom to wan-der about and is well social-ized with us and with all the other cats. She goes about her business with little fuss, look-ing regal and fl uffy, yet gets overlooked time after time.

It’s tough being a black cat! There are so many, and when people come to look, after a while most of the black cats tend to look the same – black - and one’s eye might wander to a colourful cat instead. Yet in the right environment, and given a chance, she will be-come a very loyal pet. Would some kind person please open their heart to this black beauty

and give her a so long-awaited home?

Tanisha is spayed and up-to-date with vaccines. To see her and our other cats and kit-tens please visit the Ganano-que & District Humane So-ciety shelter on Hwy 32 just north of Gananoque and the 401. We’re open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, 613-382-1512. Email

[email protected]. Please also visit www.pet-fi nder.com for Gananoque. We’re holding a Chili Cook-off fundraiser and party in the Lansdowne Community Cen-tre on Saturday, Jan. 26, start-ing at noon. We’re looking for contestants so chili-makers please register soon! Email [email protected] or call 613-923-5098.

Cruise delivers solid performance in latest thriller

New legal age identifi er for Ontario ID

MOVIE: Jack ReacherSTARRING: Tom Cruise,

Rosamund Pike, Richard Jen-kins, David Oyelowo, and Jai Courtney

DIRECTOR: Christopher McQuarrie

RATING: 14AEMC Entertainment -

There’s a lot to be said for watching a fi lm where the good guy takes out the bad guys, and you never have to wonder who is who. Jack Reacher is just such a fi lm.

An ex-military sniper, James Barr (Joseph Sikora), is arrested for killing fi ve people in a random shooting. The case is open and shut with a mountain of evidence against Barr. The police want a con-fession, but instead Barr asks them to get a man called Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise).

Jack was a former military police offi cer with a reputa-tion for doing whatever it took to get the truth. After leaving the military he disappeared and went off the grid. When he sees on the news that James

Barr murdered six people he immediately hops on a bus.

Jack walks right into Dis-trict Attorney Rodin’s (Rich-ard Jenkins) offi ce where he’s meeting with detective Emerson (David Oyelowo). They’re surprised when Jack turns up out of nowhere, but start fi lling him in on the case. It’s about then Barr’s defence attorney, and Rodin’s daugh-ter Helen Rodin (Rosamund Pike), come in.

She’s furious her father is talking with a potential de-fence witness. Though she doesn’t let that stop her from enlisting Jack’s help. She needs a lead investigator, and Jack needs to know why Barr called out to him. The deeper Jack digs the more this case

starts to look less like the work of a psycho, and more like a conspiracy.

I liked Jack Reacher. Did it have mind-blowing special effects? No. Did it have an incredibly twisted and com-plicated plot? No. Did it have award-winning dramatic per-formances? Not really. What it does have is a solid story wrapped around a decent mys-tery, some good action, some fantastic lines, and a hero who gets the job done.

It’s an uncomplicated and straight-forward fi lm. You know exactly what to expect, and the fi lm delivers it. It may not be the must-see movie of the year, but is highly enter-taining.

I don’t want to meet Tom

Cruise. I don’t want to hang out with him. I don’t want to know the details of his person-al life. All I want is to watch his movies, because he makes great movies. He’s a brilliant actor who can take on nearly any role. As Jack he is the ulti-mate hero. Highly intelligent, highly skilled, and possessing an infallible sense of right and wrong. It is brilliant.

Rosamund Pike delivers a strong performance as de-fence attorney Helen Rodin. Richard Jenkins and David Oyelowo are also very good. Joseph Sikora nails the poten-tial psychopath. Robert Du-vall is a great addition to the cast. Jai Courtney proves to be an excellent adversary for Cruise, and Werner Herzog is a very creepy villain.

All in all Jack Reacher is a solid fi lm. Is it the best fi lm in theaters right now? No. Is it an entertaining evening at the movies? Defi nitely.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

EMC News - Ontario is making it easier to identify when someone is of legal age when buying alcohol or tobacco.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2013, a new identifi er on Ontario driver’s licences and photo cards will clearly show when card holders turn 19. The identifi er will read “age 19” followed by the exact date the card holder turns 19, all in bold letters. It will be located near the bottom of the card, beside the date of birth.

Helping prevent youth from smoking and drinking is

part of the McGuinty govern-ment’s plan to keep families safe and healthy, at home and on the road.

“Our government has heard from the retail sector and public health units across Ontario. We’ve taken ac-tion to keep youth in Ontario safe by including the date a person is 19 years of age on Ontario’s driver’s licence and photo cards,” said Bob Chiarelli, Minister of Trans-portation.

“Ontario’s new age identi-fi cation on driver’s licences and photo cards is just one

more way we are helping to reduce under-age smok-ing and drinking and keep our roads safe,” commented Dwight Duncan, Minister of Government Services.

“Injury and substance abuse prevention are key pri-orities for the public health system in Ontario. This initia-tive will help keep Ontario’s youth healthy and safe.” Dr. Arlene King, Chief Medical Offi cer of Health noted.

Quick facts:• Only driver licences and

photo cards issued on or af-

ter Jan. 1, 2013 will have the new identifi er. Existing card-holders who wish to have the identifi er applied to their card can pay a replacement fee to have a new card issued.

• Drivers under 19 years of age who are drinking are two times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision compared to older drivers.

• Approximately 150,000 cards are issued each year to drivers under the age of 19.

• Driver licence cards in all Canadian provinces ex-cept Quebec include an age identifi er.

My TakeMARK HASKINS

EMC Lifestyle – Discover the mild fl avour of tender veal. This high-quality protein is an excellent source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12. It’s leaner and lower in saturated fat than pork, chicken and beef.

Mediterranean food fl avours are famous worldwide - ol-ive oil, garlic, onions and mushrooms, tomatoes, olives and, of course, wine. When veal is added and served over garlic mashed potatoes, the result is nothing short of fantastic!

Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 30 to 35 minutes Servings: sixIngredients:Vitello Toscana:• 2 tbsp (25 mL) each olive oil and butter• 2 medium Ontario Onions, sliced• 2 tbsp (25 mL) all-purpose fl our• 1 tsp (5 mL) salt• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper• 6 veal chops• 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine• 2 cups (500mL) sliced mushrooms• 2 cups (500 mL) stewed tomatoes• 1 lemon, slicedGarlic Mashed Potatoes• 3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces• 4 cloves garlic, sliced• 1/4 cup (50 mL) milk• 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt• Pinch freshly ground pepper• Sliced pimiento-stuffed olivesPreparationIn large non-stick skillet, heat one tbsp (15 mL) each of

the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook fi ve minutes until softened; remove.

Combine fl our, salt and pepper; coat veal chops in mix-ture. Add remaining oil and butter to skillet; brown chops on both sides. Add cooked onions, wine, mushrooms, tomatoes and lemon slices. Cover and cook on medium heat 15 min-utes until veal is tender. Serve over garlic mashed potatoes.

Cook potatoes and garlic in boiling water 15 minutes un-til tender; drain well. Mash and beat in milk, butter, salt and pepper.

Garnish with sliced olives.

EMC Lifestyle – Imagine a silent killer lurking in the shadows of your home – it’s impossible to see, taste or smell, but carbon monoxide poisoning claims more than 400 lives each year, accord-ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Since leaks are usually caused by poor installation, operation and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances or inadequate ventilation, homeowners should be wary of carbon monoxide seeping into their homes,” said Pete Haagsma, owner of the Aire Serv of Kingston. “More than 20,000 people are sent to emergency rooms annually from this silent killer, so it’s important to take proper pre-cautions before the furnace is turned on.”

To be on the safe side, ho-meowners should have their gas appliances inspected by a professional before us-ing them, so they know their equipment is safe and that their fl ue piping and venting is clear of obstructions.

To reduce carbon monox-ide exposure this winter sea-son, follow these suggestions by Aire Serv:

Install a carbon monoxide detector on each fl oor of the house and near sleeping quar-ters. Check the batteries an-nually.

Keep your air fi lters in your furnace cleaned – dirty fi lters restrict air fl ow and can cause added stress on the furnace’s heat exchanger, the metal chamber that separates combustion gases from the air in your home.

Don’t use a stove or fi re-place that is not vented.

Don’t warm your car up or keep it running inside a garage, even with the garage

door open.Have a trained service tech-

nician annually clean, adjust and perform a safety check on your heating system, includ-ing chimney and vents.

Be on the lookout for these warning signs that carbon monoxide is accumulating in your home:

• Gas fl ames burning or-ange or yellow instead of blue.

• Sooty stains on heating appliances or around heating registers.

• Fires become diffi cult to light — the chimney may be

blocked.• You develop these symp-

toms — headaches, dizziness, disorientation, nausea and fa-tigue.

Serv is a global franchise organization providing heat-ing, ventilation and air con-ditioning and repair services. Aire Serv franchisees pro-vide these services to both residential and commercial customers at more than 170 locations in Canada and the United States.

OPP’s Festive R.I.D.E. campaign produces disappointing resultsEMC News - Despite continued warnings that the Ontario

Provincial Police (OPP) would be as visible as ever during their Festive R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) cam-paign, the OPP is disappointed that the number of motorists charged with impaired driving over the holidays is the highest it has been when compared to the last eight campaigns (from 2005 to present).

This year’s Festive R.I.D.E. campaign was conducted from Nov. 24, 2012 to Jan. 2, 2013 and OPP R.I.D.E. stops were set up around the clock throughout the province as OPP offi cers worked diligently to take impaired drivers off Ontario roads.

Over the fi ve-and-a-half week campaign, OPP offi cers charged 693 persons with having a Blood Alcohol Concentra-tion (BAC) over 0.08 (or over 80 milligrams). Offi cers also is-sued a total of 625 Warn Range suspensions to motorists caught driving with a BAC between 0.05 and 0.08 (or between 50 and 80 milligrams).

During last year’s campaign (2011-2012), OPP offi cers charged 682 motorists with impaired driving and issued a Warn

Range suspension to 583 drivers. According to the OPP, there is no excuse for the number of impaired drivers being on the rise and it is a simple matter of people continuing to make bad decisions that impact public safety over the holidays.

“We had hoped to see these numbers decrease signifi cantly during this year’s campaign, in light of how much harder we have worked to educate the public about the dangers of drinking and driving,” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. “Impaired driving continues to be the leading cause of criminal death in Canada and it is disappointing that we still have Ontario drivers who feel entitled to place other road users at risk of losing their lives to an impaired driver,” Lewis added.

“In light of these Festive R.I.D.E. statistics, we will be as committed as ever in 2013 to incorporating the high visibili-ty, professional traffi c stops, public education and measurable outcomes supported by our Provincial Traffi c Safety Program, in our ongoing effort to reduce impaired driving on Ontario roads,” said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division.

The OPP is reminding the public that they will continue to conduct R.I.D.E. stops throughout the year on Ontario roads.

The OPP would also like to thank and recognize Ontario drivers who kept everyone safe over the holidays by driving sober, as well as those who arranged for designated drivers and made alternate arrangements for getting home during their holi-day celebrations.

War of 1812 committee unveils plans for this year at information session in Prescott

EMC Events - While the War of 1812 Bicentennial has raged for nearly a year, the biggest events to hit the St. Lawrence are just coming up.

This year, 2013 will mark some key historic events, includ-ing the 200th anniversaries of the Raid on Ogdensburg (Feb. 22-24) and the Battle of Crysler’s Farm (Nov. 11.)

Yet what makes this year a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for regional tourism is a month of unique historical experiences that could draw unprecedented numbers of cultural tourists.

From the fi rst port of call for the pan-provincial Tall Ships 1812 Tour in Brockville on June 14 to the re-enactment of a battle that saved Canada on July 14, the St. Lawrence region will host a month of exiting heritage programming.

With two Regency balls, tall ships and a fl otilla, Red Coats and battles, period theatre, and character building workshops - all in a picturesque historical setting, history will truly come alive along the St. Lawrence this summer. It is a Regency Won-derland.

The St. Lawrence War of 1812 Bicentennial Alliance invites all interested parties to attend a special information session at the Red George Pub in Prescott on Sunday, Jan. 20.

Upcoming events will be unveiled, as well as joint marketing plans and suggestions for individuals, groups and businesses alike, looking to be a part of this major tourism initiative for 2013.

The presentation is part of a regular 1812 Dinner Series, fea-turing fi ne period cooking. Come for dinner or a drink, but be sure to reserve space in advance - as there are only 30 spaces available.

Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m. The presentation will start at 7 p.m.

Call the Red George at 613-925-8800 to save a place.

By STAFFEMC Sports – The Brockville Braves have picked up in 2013

where they left off in 2012.The Tier I Junior A hockey club started the new year on a posi-

tive note, winning both of their weekend games and further solidi-fying their playoff position.

Friday, Jan. 4, the Braves hosted the always-tough Carleton Place Canadians and took care of business to the tune of a 4-1 win. In the return match Sunday afternoon in Carleton Place, the offences took over but with the same result – a three-goal victory for Brockville, this time 8-5.

Braves, now 20-15-2-4, still sit in the eighth and fi nal playoff position with 46 points but now have a six-point cushion on ninth place Hawkesbury (18-18-1-3). They’re also just three points back of Cornwall and Kanata (49 points each) and sixth overall.

In front of more than 700 fans at home on Friday, the Braves broke open a tight game with three unanswered goals in the third period to win going away.

Chris Roll was a difference maker in this one, setting up two and scoring the other over the fi nal 20 minutes. David Ferreira, Ben Blasko and Griffen Molino also scored for Brockville who led 1-0 after the fi rst period and were tied 1-1 with the Canadians after two.

Brock Edwards had the lone tally for the visitors who actually outshot the Braves 32-18.

Goalie Andrew Pikul was outstanding in making 31 saves for the win. Brendan O’Neill was not as sharp with just 15 stops.

In Carleton Place Sunday afternoon, Central Canada Hockey League-leading scorer Ben Blasko exploded for six points with a goal and fi ve assists to power the Braves to the 8-5 win.

Similar to Friday’s contest, the Braves broke open a 3-3 tie with three straight goals late in the second period and early in the third to grab the two points.

Ferreira (two goals, one assist) and Roll (three assists) also turned in big games for the visitors. Other Braves goal scorers were Zach Todd, Nathan Todd, Anthony Pino, Griffen Molino and Ryan Walter.

The Braves’ power play was on fi re in this one, connecting four times off six opportunities with the man advantage.

Goalie Andrew Pikul earned his second win in less than 48 hours with a 28-save performance. The Braves’ offensive outburst chased the Canadians’ starter O’Neill midway through the third period with the score already out of reach. Backup Justin Laforest closed things out over the fi nal 12:37.

Coming up, the Braves traveled to the Jim Durrell Complex on Wednesday to face-off against the league-leading Ottawa Jr. Senators. They then host one of the teams they’re chasing in the standings, the Kanata Stallions, on Friday, Jan. 11 at the Memo-rial Centre. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

They also host Smiths Falls in a big Robinson Division match-up on Sunday afternoon. That one starts at 2:30 p.m.

South Grenville atom C1 team take home Bill Patterson Trophy from Bell Capital CupEMC Sports - The South

Grenville Rangers atom C1 coach, Kent Webster, had the team’s sights set for the championship at the 2013 Bell Capital Cup after his last year’s team was the 2012 C House fi -nalists.

With a last minute deci-sion by OIHF and UCMHL offi cials, the South Grenville Atom C1 team was moved from C House to the B House level in the world’s premier minor hockey tournament. The team’s hopes for a champion-ship victory were dashed but they refused to give up.

With the motto “work hard and have fun” their heads were held high and the team went in playing hard on Friday, Dec. 28 losing a very close game to the Orleans Ice Hogs 3-2. Alec Stephens scored both goals assisted both times by Owen Rayner with Gavin Prosser also picking up an assist. Hard-est worker award went to Jay-din Poulin with Alec Stephens awarded the MVP.

The second game was lost against the Almonte Pakenham Thunder 4-2 on Saturday, Dec. 29. Tyler Reid scored the fi rst goal assisted by Tim Barton.

The second goal was scored by Thomas Lennox assisted by Gavin Prosser. Hardest worker award went to Helena McLen-aghan with Dylan Popejoy awarded the MVP.

The team won its third game, 2-1, in round robin play knocking out the Ottawa East Flames B1 team from advance-ment to the playoffs on Sunday, Dec. 30. The team’s defence made up of Ian Webster, Dan-iel Houston, Jaydin Poulin and Alyn Webster all had a strong defensive game while Dylan Popejoy and Gavin Prosser both enjoyed unassisted goals taking the team to a victory that was a true celebration! Hardest worker award went to Gavin Prosser with goalie Khonnor Jessome awarded the MVP after 32 shots on goal. The Orleans Ice Hogs were there to thank the South Grenville Rangers C1 team as they were able to advance from Pool I.

During the B House skills competition the Rangers C1 relay team of Daniel Houston, Gavin Prosser, Jaydin Poulin and Tyler Reid took home the championship trophies from the B, G, H and I team pools on Dec. 30! The icing on the cake was when the coach received a phone call on New Year’s Eve evening from an Ottawa Sena-tors representative informing him that the Bell Capital Cup Committee felt that his team best demonstrated fair play and sportsmanship during round robin games bestowing the prestigious “Bill Patterson Trophy” to his team.

The Bill Patterson trophy is awarded to two teams - one house league and one competi-tive - selected from all regis-tered teams at the Bell Capital Cup. A sportscaster for CJOH TV, Patterson died suddenly on Sept. 22, 1999, of a heart attack. An active family man who is survived by his wife, Pat, and daughters Sherri, Meghan and Sarah, Patterson loved watching and report-ing on young athletes, and was Ottawa’s No. 1 booster of amateur sports. Several of the players were able to attend the award ceremony held Jan.

1 at the Scotiabank Place with coach Kent Webster, manager Lianne Webster and assistant coach John Houston along with families and friends. Play-ers Tyler Reid, Jaydin Poulin, Dylan Popejoy, Alyn Webster, Daniel Houston, Ian Webster and Khonnor Jessome were also on hand. Unable to attend the award presentation were assistant coach Dan Prosser, trainer James Lennox and players Owen Rayner, Alec Stephens, Tim Barton, Helena McLenaghan, Gavin Prosser and Thomas Lennox.

The Rangers C1 team is cur-

rently fi rst in the East Division in the UCMHL standings. The team took home the champion-ship at the Smiths Falls tour-nament in October and looks forward to two more tourna-ments this hockey season. Their “home” SGMHA Atom C House tournament is sched-ule to run from Feb. 1-3 and is held at the Spencerville rink. The team is also registered to attend the Kids for Kids tour-nament in Kingston at the end of March. Come out and cheer them on – Go Rangers Go!

Carter and Utman lead Blackhawks to a 7-6 win over FlamingosSPORTS EMC - Your Community Newspaper

EMC Sports - On a snowy Saturday evening, the Island City Blackhawks edged the Morrisburg Flamingos 7-6 in front of a ca-pacity crowd of 15 at the Youth Arena.

It was the type of snow storm that Blackhawk team offi cials fi gured would be bad enough to postpone the game especially with the poor driving conditions.

The Flamingos braved the elements and made it to play their scheduled game, albeit 30 minutes late. The Blackhawks took full advantage of the road weary Flamingos as they scored fi ve fi rst period goals. And to make things even better for the Hawks, it was their two key players who led the way.

Hawks’ goaltender Spencer Utman slammed the door on many glorious scoring opportunities. Oh there were a couple of goals he would like to have back but he was solid when the team needed him to be.

‘The Velvet Fog’ Rob Carter put on a show for the entourage that he had in the stands. He lit the lamp three times and added an assist to lead the Blackhawks’ attack.

“If we are going to salvage our season we need better goalten-ding and we also need our scorers to score. Lately we’ve been getting better in both of those crucial areas. We’ve only lost once in our last six games so I’m very optimistic,” Blackhawks manage-ment said outside the team’s dressing room after the game.

Flamingos captain Lindsay Weegar was very complimentary about Utman’s performance.

“Oh for sure, their goalie defi nitely stole this game for them

guys tonight. We were really coming on late in the game and he was good. He robbed me a couple of times, he played really well,” Weegar said to reporters after the tilt.

Blackhawks veteran and stellar defenceman, Travis Cauley, saw the game differently. “Don’t let that fi nal score fool you, this should have been at least a two or three goal win for us. We played a re-ally good game here tonight. As far as I am concerned we were the better team in this one.”

The Island City crew were coming off their 12-day Christmas layoff and they came out with their guns ablazing.

The home team took a convincing 5-2 fi rst period lead, they added another two goals in the second to take a slim 7-5 lead into the third. The Flamingos started to take control of the game late in the second and early in the third period.

At one point in the second the Hawks were sporting a 7-4 lead but that quickly evaporated when the bird crew from Morrisburg narrowed the gap to one early in the third period. Utman shut the door the rest of the way.

Carter led the way in the scoring department for the Blackhawks with his three goals. Tyley ‘Smiley’ Markell, Daryl ‘Stumps’ Whiteland, Travis Cauley and J R ‘Buckleys’ Ryan rounded out the Hawks’ scoring.

Cardinals 6 Blackhawks 3You would think after defeating the highly skilled Flamingos

from Morrisburg a week earlier, that the Island City Blackhawks would build off that win. Instead they came out fl at and were no

competition for the Cardinal Kids (Cardinal Old timers). And if not for Hawks’ goalie Spencer Utman’s brilliance in the fi rst two periods, this game could have easily been a blow out.

In the end the listless Blackhawks were defeated easily 6-3 last Saturday night at the Youth Arena. A word of warning, don’t let the score fool you, it really wasn’t that close at all.

The Blackhawks did manage to hang around with their much younger competition for two periods thanks in large part to Utman. Three third period goals sealed the game for the Cardinal young lads when the fi nal buzzer sounded.

The Hawks and Cardinal were tied 1-1 after one and the Hawks trailed 3-2 heading into the third period.

“Last Saturday night against the Flamingos we played with three lines and had plenty of jump in our legs. Tonight we went with two groups of four forwards and we had no legs and no gas to compete with a young team like that,” management continued.

“Those guys for the most part are anywhere from their mid 20s to their mid 30s. Hard to compete against when you are an older team,” noted ‘The Champ’ Wayne Morrow.

The Blackhawks still have 17 games remaining which gives them lots of time to salvage their season. They defi nitely can’t af-ford to play many more games like they did against Cardinal.

Thus far the Blackhawks are 6-9-3, at home they are 3-3-1 and on the road they are 3-6-2.

The Island City crew is off to Morrisburg Sunday morning for a tilt with the Flamingos.

EMC Sports - The St. Law-rence College Schooners will be hosting their fi rst tourna-ment of the season on Thurs-day, Jan. 10 and Friday, Jan. 11 at the Brockville Memorial Centre and Centennial Youth Arena.

The Brockville team kicked their season off on Nov. 8 in Oakville, in a 10-team tourna-ment hosted by Sheridan Col-lege. The Schooners advanced to the fi nals against Fanshawe College, ultimately dropping the game 5-2.

Colin Doelman and Jake Doseger were the leading scorers, accumulating 6 points apiece.

The 10th Annual Schooners Invitational is attracting fi ve other teams from the province – St. Lawrence Cornwall, U of T @ Scarborough, Humber Lakeshore, McMaster, and Boreal; as well as one Quebec school, Bishop’s University.

Several local players are on the Brockville roster, includ-ing South Grenville Giants alumni Cam Symington, Pat Froom, Andrew Bernard, and Mike Morrell. Rookie Shawn Curry, a graduate of TISS, is also on the squad.

St. Lawrence College Brockville opens up the tour-nament at 4 p.m. on Thursday,

Jan. 10 versus McMaster Uni-versity.

SLC beat McMaster in its fi rst tournament by a score of 6-0 in the semi-fi nals.

The Schooners play their second game of the tourna-ment later on that night at 8 p.m. against Humber Lake-shore, a team they have not met this season.

On Friday, Jan. 11, the Schooners will play Bishop’s at 8 a.m., and at 10 a.m. ver-sus Boreal.

All of the Schooners’ games will be played at the Memorial Centre.

Semi-fi nal action starts at 12:30 at the Memorial Cen-tre, with the fi nals beginning around 3 p.m.

The Schooners are hoping to compete for the champion-ship trophy with another ap-pearance in the fi nals.

Games are free to attend, and the public is encouraged to cheer on their home team.
