FLAG From front page

ets can be purchased the day of the event, at the gate. Brochures will be available to download from the website or offered at time of entry.

Lauren Smith is on a six-month contract position as special projects co-coordinator for the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce and has worked very diligently on FlagFest.

“There are two locations for the festivities,” said Smith. “One is the flag pole where vendor village and the main stage are go-

ing to be and where the fireworks will be most visible from. The other location is Laurier Hill (Memorial Field), where the sleigh rides and children’s events are happening.”

All the contests for children have prizes.There will be snow angel races, snow-tug-o-war, sledding

race, snowball throwing as well as sleigh rides which all begin at 9 a.m., at Laurier Hill with vendor street opening at the Brock-ville SmartCentre Flag Pole site.

The vendors will include Perira Rugs, Younique by Linda, South Hill Designs Jewellery by Anita, Public Outreach: Am-nesty International, Sharr-Key’s Food Truck from Toronto and Dream Mountains: Habitat for Humanity will use a fire truck to Raise the Bucket and sell hot chocolate. As well, Our Little Se-cret will be selling baked goods and the Toastmasters will have a booth.

A free shuttle service starting at 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and spon-sored by 1000 Islands Toyota will be running between the two locations from Brockville SmartCentre Flag Pole site to Laurier Hill. Either a ticket or hand stamp will be required to use this service.

According to Smith, volunteers are welcome to help with the children’s games, sell tickets, set-up or take down and other tasks.

At 4 p.m., entertainment will be starting at Brockville Smart-Centre Flag Pole site with Bruce Wylie as master of ceremonies. “Pam Moffatt will be singing Amazing Grace,” said Bob Harper of 50 Years of Our Flag Committee. “Peter Lynch will be singing O Canada. We are asking the Brockville Pipe Band, but if it is too cold they cannot play. The Royal Canadian Legion, Brockville Branch 96 Honour Guard will be there.”

Among those that will be featured are the individuals who recorded Canadian Pride, a song written by Darlene Burns.

“The dignitaries will start speaking at 5 p.m.,” said Harper. “We are talking political and historian-type people that have dif-ferent parts of the story that they would like to tell. Roy Mayer is one who has worked for the last 32 years to have Flag Day declared as a statutory holiday. Paul Hillier is coming, who was actually at the vote on Parliament Hill; he’s coming from Toron-to. We have the Brockville mayor, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown (he is bringing some letters to read); we have a beautiful letter from retired Prime Minister Paul Martin which will be read by Mary Jean McFall.”

The first 50 people will receive free 18x9 inch flags. As well, there will be the 36x72 inch flags for $20 each.

“The finale will be the fireworks the city has graciously helped to fund is something that Brockville does not get to see in the winter,” mentioned Harper. “...These fireworks will be at 6 p.m., for the little ones to see it. So we are encouraging everyone to come.” To have a good view of the fireworks, Harper indicated that being right near the flag pole at the SmartCentre will be the best place, as the show will take place over the Walmart Super-centre building.

Rockport Winter Carnival on now through SundayBy JAN MURRAY

Events – The 35th annual Rockport Winter Carnival is underway and the excitement is mounting as participants compete in hilarious activities sure to put a smile on the faces of not only those that compete, but those who simply rel-ish in watching the fun unfold.

Key organizers Meg Mallory and Tracy Griffin started planning this year’s event in January. Collecting prizes for participation as well as for the auction, touching base with event captains from previous years and so much more goes into the planning each and every year.

“We made roughly 560 buttons with the help of the community and hope to sell them all,” said Griffin.

“New events this year include a bake sale and home-cooked meals at the rec-reation hall,” explained Griffin. “As well, we combined the kids and adult fishing derby together and moved it back to Carnival Weekend on the Sunday.”

Just a few of the highlights this year include fireworks, chicken bowling, red-neck rodeo, $3 pancake breakfast and the K9 pull and horseshoes.

“Anyone who participates in an event gets a participation ticket for prizes,” explained Griffin. “We take selected prizes of higher value and sell tickets on them three for $5. Also, we have a 50/50 that starts on Wednesday and ends on Sunday.”

Starting the fun off on Wednesday evening at 7 is the annual euchre tour-

nament and the hot chicken wing eating contest, the latter of which is not for the faint of heart.

From Thursday, Feb. 12 through un-til the carnival wraps up on Sunday, the fun is spread out throughout the village. Some events at Cornwalls Pub include bingo, the dart tournament, shuffleboard tournament, nail driving and log sawing contest; the chili contest, adult Minute to Win it, the male sexy leg contest and will also be the place to be for the an-nouncement of the 50/50 winners.

The Rockport Recreation Hall will hold a youth dance on Friday evening, the kids Minute to Win it games, chil-dren’s activities, bake sale, gang plank-ing, snow shoe races and more.

There will of course be the traditional pancake breakfast at the Rec Hall and all the rink activities that so many have come to love and expect including ice and ball hockey, hurling, horseshoes, European curling, Snolf, chicken bowl-ing and even a flickin chicken contest.

There are toboggan races, a redneck rodeo, a spaghetti dinner, a Valentine’s Day dinner, live music throughout the festival, a s’mores party and even fire-works.

There are plenty of chances to win cool prizes and no excuse not to have the time of your life.

News – One of the largest health-related orga-nizations in the region is seeking a new leader.

Ruth Kitson’s departure from CPHC was an-nounced by way of a news release last Thursday.

“Following almost 15 years as executive di-rector of what is now the Community & Primary Health Care – Lanark, Leeds & Grenville (CPHC) and the Community Primary Health Care - Com-munity Family Health Team (CPHC-CFHT), Ruth Kitson has announced her decision to leave this position in order to pursue other interests.

As many in the community know, Ruth has served the organization well, building it from a small community service program in 2000 to one with a multiplicity of programs that respond well to the varied health needs of people in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville, as well as in Kingston. In re-cent years the Community Family Health Team has become an integral part of the program. We know that it has been a pleasure for Ruth to work with the board of directors, management team, staff, volunteers and the community at large, in ensuring that service to our clients has been the top priority. The contacts with clients/patients has enriched the lives of Ruth, our staff, volunteers, the board members. To recognize Ruth’s long ser-vice and leadership, an open house will be held in the near future. Further details will follow. In the meantime we know you join us in wishing Ruth the very best in all her future endeavours.

The CPHC and CPHC-CFHT Boards will be looking at next steps at our next board meeting. We are confident that the CPHC and CFHT senior leadership and staff will continue to serve clients and the community effectively and continue to make our vision: ‘Healthy Choices, Healthy Com-munities, Exceptional Care’ their priority.”

Ruth Kitson leaves CPHC after 15 years at the helm

Photo by JAN MURRAYEvents – The second annual 1000 Islands Perch/Pike Ice Fishing Tournament took place at Joel Stone Park in Gananoque on Saturday. Approximately 80 participants took part this year in this fun and exciting family event. Shown here are organizers Garry Fisher, Rick Kewell and Kevin Wren. Adam Brooks was the winner of the four-man Rapala tent for biggest perch at 9-1/2 inches. Not a single pike was caught on tournament day. Rob Char-trand and Brad Steacy were the winners of a helicopter ride from Kouri’s Kopters (Brad’s first time ever off the ground). A second helicopter ride was won by Amanda Chafe-Job-son and her son Shamus. Another big winner was Steve Harper taking home an eight-inch Rapala ice auger. Big Bass Challenge would like to send out a huge thank you to all that were involved and on the ice.

The Player Dinner, Draft and Action took place at the Keystorm Pub on Saturday, wherein hockey teams were selected to play at the Winter Classic at Rota-ry Park, Brockville, on Sunday. Cole Solutions and Sports Experts took to the ice to open the Brockville Local Heroes Hockey Tournament, above.


Snow, freezing rain and wind didn’t stop the Winter Classic

Events – Even though snow was swirling and tempera-tures dipping, the inaugural Brockville Winter Classic 2015 organized by the Young Professionals Network was well-attended by those dressed for the weather elements. At the opening ceremonies, guest emcee Bruce Wylie (left) introduced several individuals who spoke and congratulated the Young Professionals Network for taking on this event to raise funds for a roof to cover the ice surface at Rotary Park. Brock-ville and 1000 Islands Tourism Festival and Event Co-ordinator Chris Hum (holding the microphone) thanked the guest speakers and the public for at-tending, as well as offered brochures for the many events that were taking place. As the Brockville Local Heroes Hockey Tournament started, the community shoot-out, the chuck-a-puck challenge, hole in one and hot chocolate plus a barbecue were all available. There was a warming station and peripheral events, plus raffles. The awards ceremony and wrap-up took place at 6 p.m. at Bud’s on the Bay.


Events – People of all ages can have some outdoor fun east of Brockville on Family Day.

Maitland SnowFest is set for Monday, Feb. 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. MERC Hall will be the venue for activities on and off the ice. A

guided ski tour starts at 11, followed at 11:30 by a parents/adults versus the kids hockey game. “Basket ‘n Bin” will take place at 1, and a snow soccer game for adults and kids will start at 1:30. Pick-up hockey for players above the age of 12 is set for 2:15.

There is also free skating. Warm up and roast marshmallows at the fire pit. A canteen will also be open.

Lifestyle - To Mother, it wasn’t a question of “if”, it was a question of “when”. That had to do with the old Findlay Oval in the winter, stocked to the hilt, 24 hours a day. It wasn’t at all unusual, after Father had chucked the firebox full of wood, to see the silver pipes turn crimson. And that’s when Mother was sure, without a doubt, the old log house would go up in flames, and her prayer was that there would be time for all of us to escape a fiery death. There was no doubt in her mind, that it was just a matter of time.

As we sat around the old pine table after supper, and once the kitchen had been redded up, Mother, at the head of the table with her papers, scrap books and diary spread around her, could bare-ly concentrate on her writing, or using the scissors, as she kept one eye on the

cook stove. Every few minutes she would take a

long hard look at the raging stove and say, “Albert, it’s getting pretty red.” Father would grunt into his paper, take another long drag on his pipe, and say, “now, it’s alright Mabel, I’m keeping my eye on it.”

Keeping his eye on it, meant he would move off the rocking chair only if he fig-ured the raging fire had gone up into the

flue and it was time for action. How he knew when it had reached the dan-ger level was beyond me. All I knew was that at a very early age, my fear of a house fire had its beginning on those cold winter nights when the Findlay Oval was trying to win the battle over the icy house that never quite got warm enough to suit me.

The pipes, which every Fall were painted silver, snaked from the stove across the ceiling in the kitchen and then up through a hole into the hall which was my sister’s and my bedroom, took a sharp turn, and vanished into another hole into the outside wall, where sup-posedly, the flue was.

It was in the flue, Mother knew the danger of a house fire would have its be-ginning. I had no idea what was inside the flue, or what it was made of, but I

was sure it held our destiny in its grasp.And when Mother lamented loud and

long, Father would give a long sigh, and remind her that the old log house had been standing in that very same spot, with a cook stove in a corner of the kitchen for over a hundred years, and it had yet to burn to the ground.

That was little comfort to Mother, who could be heard say under her breath. “There’s always a first time, Albert.”

And then one night, (Father said the coldest night he could ever remember) the old stove was fair belching from the pile of hardwood father had crammed into the firebox. The burners were get-ting redder by the minute, and you could smell the silver paint on the pipes. To Mother, if you could smell paint burn-ing, a fire in the flue wasn’t far behind!

That’s when Father finally thought it

was time for action. Never in a rush if slower moving would do just as well, he got out of the rocking chair, laid his pipe on the floor, and went over to the wood box. The ledge at the top of the box was wide enough to hold a tin pie plate full of coarse salt. It was there for a certain purpose, and it looked very much like that was the night it would be put to use.

You could take one burner off at a time on the Findlay Oval, or you could use the handle and the whole top of the stove with the two burners could be lift-ed at once. Father lifted the iron handle, raising the top of the stove and hooking the handle to keep the stove open. The flames shot out like a bonfire, Mother yelled at we five kids to get our coats

Mother predicted doom and gloom with Findlay Oval

Don’t ignore the warning signs

DEAR EDITOR:I support the registered nurses, nurse practitioners and allied

health professionals of the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) who work as care co-ordinators and health team members at nine of On-tario’s 14 Community Care Access Centres (CCACs).

These essential health care providers play a vital role co-ordinat-ing care for people in our communities. They provide urgent hands-on care, palliative care and mental health and addictions services to patients. They assess the care needs of those who are ill or frail and determine the services they need to remain at home safely including

patients who have recently been discharged from hospital. Care co-ordinators also help to ensure that children with disabilities are able to stay in school with their peers.

These health care professionals use their expertise to act as our advocates and help us navigate our complex health-care system. They use their knowledge and skills to help us access much-needed community health services and perform the critical role of placing patients in long-term care homes.

Bears and youngsters play together in Delta

Community – Sebastien Barrette and his Smiths Falls Bears teammates join children on the ice as the junior hockey players take part in Delta Win-terfest on Saturday, Feb. 7. Donations collected during the annual event at the outdoor rink in Rideau Lakes will go to Neil Doef and his family as the Smiths Falls Bear continues to recover from a serious spinal cord injury he sustained in December.

We know how frustrating it can be when we are in a hurry to do something and an obstacle gets in our way. But there are times when common sense would suggest it might be better to pause and regroup rather than trying to get around the impediment.

Railway crossing barriers were malfunctioning at the Sophia Street crossing in Prescott on Sunday morning. The lights were flashing, the warning bells were ringing and the gates were down. We watched as a southbound van passed two cars that were stopped behind the barrier and then went around both arms and through the crossing. The vehicle slowed somewhat as it approached the cross-ing, but we aren’t sure if the driver really took enough time to look in both directions and ensure there were no trains heading toward the street. Several other vehicles turned around and opted for another route rather than driving around the gates; then two police cars arrived after the OPP had been alerted to the problem.

Even on a clear day when visibility is not an issue (there was blowing snow on Sunday morning), making the choice to ignore activated warning features at a railway crossing is a risk that’s not worth taking. Being inconvenienced is a much better option than what could potentially happen, as much as that outcome might seem unthinkable at the time. Vehicles are no match for trains no matter how slow they appear to be travelling.

If there is a malfunction, notify the police or call the toll-free number that is usually posted somewhere on the equipment at the railway crossing. And even if there are no trains in sight, do not ignore the warning signs. We know it’s a hassle to have to wait or find an alternate way to get where you’re going, but misjudging the situation and attempting to drive around those barriers could end up being the last mistake you’ll ever make.

LETTER From page 8CCAC care co-ordinators face serious patient case-load issues that, in my opinion, can impact their ability to safely care for their patients.

These highly skilled workers have been trying to negotiate a new collective agreement with man-agement since March of last year.

I am fully behind these front-line health care professionals who are the foundation of commu-nity health care and are there to support me, my family and my community. A fair contract is all

that is required for these registered nurses, nurse practitioners and allied health professionals of the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) so that they can provide high-quality community health care services to all.

Please help me raise awareness and help bring about an end to this dispute.

Thankful recipient of these services,Steve Weir,Brockville

MARY From page 8and boots on, and it looked very much like her fear of the whole place going up in smoke was coming to pass!

Father wasn’t the least bit excited. He took the tin plate of coarse salt, dumped it all over the burn-ing logs in the stove, gave the plate a tap with the back of his hand, and we all watched as the flames died down like a dried up creek!

Once or twice, too, when even Father thought the fire was out of control, he would put on his big leather mitts, go upstairs into our bedroom, and pull the pipes apart and dump another tin plate of salt down the pipe, set the plate on the open pipe, and bring the top pipe on top, cutting off the fire com-pletely, and within seconds, the whole fire would go out, just as if you had blown out a match.

Mother never did get over her fear of a winter house fire. Every night, without fail, she would take our winter outerwear off the hooks at the back

door, lay everything out on chairs at the bottom of the stairs, with orders that, not if, but when, a fire broke out, we were to grab our clothes and head outside as fast as our legs could carry us. And again, without fail, Father would remind her that the old house had stood for more than 100 years, the cook stove had raged all that time, and the clos-est time we ever came to burning the place down was one summer when my Uncle Lou accidentally set fire to the back house when he tossed a cigarette down the hole. The fire did a fairly good job on the back house, and singed the outside wall of the summer kitchen. The old log house didn’t suffer as much as a scratch!

Youngsters have their say at Prescott Legion competition

Community – Royal Canadian Legion Fort Wellington Branch 97 in Prescott held its 2015 Public Speaking Contest on Sunday, Feb. 8. Approximately 35 local students from grades KG through 9 gathered to compete in the annual event. Winners (top three) in the differ-ent age categories included (from left) Meredith Windle, Sam Evans, Elizabeth Mussett, Anastasia Joanisse, Madeleine Joanisse, Finnian Brophy, Zack Fournier & Gabrielle Akey. They are joined by event organizer Candy Alexander.

By BILL LAURINEvents – Attempting to take advantage of the

provincially regulated Family Day on Monday, Feb. 16, South Dundas’ recreation department has organized a foundation with hopes of “more to come on future Family Days.” Although this year’s calendar is highlighted by a meagre two-event pro-gram, it does signify a start to a promising future.

“This is a great opportunity for families to spend quality time together and enjoy outdoor family-fun,” said South Dundas’ always enthusiastic Ben Macpherson, recreation program co-ordinator. This time around, Macpherson has combined ef-forts with the South Dundas Optimist Club and the South Nation Conservation group.

The Optimists are hosting a Family Day Skate at the Dundela outdoor rink and will present a va-riety of games and prizes intended for the entire family. And the event, running from 11 a.m. thru 4 p.m., will include a “days gone by” twist with an open bonfire, hot-dog roasting, hot chocolate and

apple cider. Everyone is encouraged to bring out their to-

boggans and skates and enjoy the day.For those seeking an even more active family

outing, the opportunity to take part in wintry-guid-ed nature tours hosted by South Nation Conserva-tion at Two Creeks Conservation Area between Morrisburg and Iroquois may be the preferential ticket. Guides will offer answers to queries on eco-systems, point out any and all resident and visiting animal and plant species and host interpretative stops along the 4.5-kilometre trail.

This event offers snowshoes and cross-country skis made available through the South Dundas Sports Lending Library, another program Mcpher-son initiated which is growing rapidly in popular-ity in the municipality.

“We hope to make Family Day activities an an-nual event in South Dundas,” added Macpherson, “And we hope to increase the number of activities offered in the future.”

Classical guitar quartet to appear in Prescott on Feb. 20

Entertainment – The Fort Town Con-cert Association presents its third con-cert of the season at St. Andrew’s Pres-byterian Church in Prescott next Friday, Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

The performance will be by the Fan-dango Guitar Quartet playing Modern Sketches. With the support of Jeunesses Musicales Canada and Jeunesses Musi-cales Ontario, and sponsored by Dr. K. Hansen, Dr. J. Holmes, Dr. L. McIntosh and Dr. G. Shankar, the performance will showcase four young classical gui-tarists from the Outaouais region.

Julian Geisterfer, Tobie-Éloi Hinse-Paré, Roberto Martinez and Simon Riv-et will blend Latin rhythms and classical arrangements to introduce you to the many facets of musical compositions for guitar quartets. Listeners will hear rich eclectic sounds quite recent in the history of contemporary music.

Julian Geisterfer started playing gui-tar at the age of 9. For the first few years, he studied with the well-established Jazz musician Gabe Bianchini in Ottawa. Af-ter one year of studying classical music, he got accepted into the Music Conser-vatory of Gatineau, where he is current-ly finishing a Bachelor’s degree with the professor Patrick Roux. Also, in 2010, Julian, driven by a passion for flamenco music, went to Spain to study this style with the maestro Olo Guerrero. Over the years, Julian has won many prizes including the first prize at the Montreal International Guitar competition in the youth category, the first prize at the pro-vincial Kiwanis competition grade 10, the first prize in the Canadian music competition in his category in 2007, the scholarship from the Outaouais Guitar Academy in 2011, and the first prize ex aequo in the Outaouais guitar competi-tion last year.

Born in 1994, Tobie-Éloi Hinse-Paré began playing guitar at the Ecole de musique de l’Outaouais at the age of five. In May 2003, at nine years old, he won the first prize of the Concours de la bourse de l’Ecole de musique de l’Outaouais, category intermediate. The following year, he was admitted in the Conservatoire de musique du Quebec a Gatineau and began his apprenticeship with Patrick Roux. In 2008, Tobie-Éloi

won the trophy for the highest score of the Kiwanis Music Festival, in all cat-egories. The following year, he won the 1st place solo, level 8 at the same Festi-val. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, he partici-pated in the Montreal Guitar Contest in the category Releve (aged between 15 and 17 years) and won the second prize in 2009, a honorable mention in 2010, and the first prize, in 2011.

Born to Venezuelan parents, Roberto Martinez has studied the classical guitar since the age of 9. Now, 10 years later, he is in the under-graduate level at the Conservatoire de Musique de Gatineau, a three-time regional champion of the Kiwanis music festival in the solo cate-gory and one-time provincial champion at the CMC (concours de musique du Canada) as well as a national contender. He has had Master-classes from vari-ous renowned guitarists such as Fabio

Zanon, Pavel Steidl, Roland Dyens, Benjamin Verdery, the Eden-Stell duo and more.

Simon Rivet started classical guitar at the age of 12. First studying with Bru-no Roussel at the École de musique de l’Outaouais, he was admitted three years later at the Conservatoire de Musique de Gatineau, where he is undertaking his final year in guitar at the Bachelor level with Patrick Roux. Recipient of a scholarship at the Conservatory in 2011, the award of the Academy of Guitar in Ottawa in 2012 and the awards for best grades average for two consecutive years, he won the first prize ex aequo last year at the Outaouais guitar compe-tition, as well as the audience award.

Admission at the door is: $25 (adult), $5 (student) and free for children 12 and under. For more information, please contact www.ftca.ca.

Last week’s article about the upcom-ing March Break program being of-fered by Girls Inc. included inaccurate date information provided by the orga-nization. The Engineer It workshops in Kemptville and Prescott are being held on the morning and afternoon of Thurs-day, March 19 respectively and not the other way around as was stated last week. Anyone interested in the program for girls between the ages of six and 13 can call 613-345-3295 to register or for more information. The two-hour work-shops are also being held that week in Portland, Athens, Lansdowne, Brock-ville and Cardinal.

Share the Love Art Exhibit & Auction to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity 1000 Islands is calling all artists, would be artists, chil-dren and youth to submit creative pieces to its Share the Love Art Exhibit currently on display at Geronimo’s Cafe in Kemptville. Art donated will be sold in the fundraising auction on Feb. 26. Artists and budding artists can create pieces reflecting on issues of insecure housing and poverty, or what it means to have a stable, secure home.

“The idea for Share the Love came from the realization that after the holidays and food bank drives, it can be easy to forget about rural low-income residents because they are not as visible in the coun-try as they are in the city. When I learned Geronimo’s art wall would be available in February, it seemed ironically perfect to organize a helping activity in the month that celebrates Valentine’s and Family Day. It’s the love month, but when you are struggling to survive, you don’t have

an experience of love. Financial stress is very hard on families and stability. What better time than the middle of winter to share love with the community in a prac-tical way,” says Heather Sansom, chair of fundraising for Habitat for Humanity 1000 Islands. “We really hope that the community can use “Share the Love”’ as an opportunity to reflect on what insecure housing means for families and children…and how blessed you may be to have a se-cure, safe home and adequate basic infra-structure to allow you to do your best at work or at school, and enjoy your time in your home. We really hope this event is an opportunity for community voice and sup-port, for youth to experience having their art hung in an exhibit, and for community to come together.”

Insecure housing and poverty are an increasing problem in Ontario, and espe-cially Eastern Ontario with many families

in North Grenville in need of assistance. According to Habitat for Humanity 1000 Islands, working with a family in need to obtain a Habitat house breaks the cycle of poverty long term. Reports show that Habitat families see improvements in household finances, member health and children’s school performance.

Habitat 1000 Islands most recent build was completed last year in Kemptville. Families, churches, schools and groups can use the opportunity to encourage per-sonal reflection and creativity. Heart-felt exploration of relevant feelings and themes rather than ‘perfection’ in art technique is emphasized. Art pieces will be collected until mid-February.

For more information, contact Sansom, at 613-258-4866, or [email protected] .

Be entertained at Shakespeare festival fundraiserBy CONAN de VRIES

Events – The St. Lawrence Shake-speare Festival is renowned for the quality of its productions, and this sum-mer, its staging of Romeo and Juliet and Comedy of Errors will be no less praise-worthy, but putting on shows of that calibre comes with a price tag.

That’s why the upcoming Snowflake Dinner and Auction is so important to festival organizers.

“It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year,” says Ingrid Bjornson, the festi-val’s general manager.

The event will be held at the Prescott Golf Club on Saturday, Feb. 21; dinner will be served at 6 p.m.

“It’s a very fun and lively evening,” says Bjornson.

There will actually be two auc-tions – one silent, featuring more than 100 products and services donated by

generous local merchants, and another live auction, featuring even more great items.

“We get lots of great support from lo-cal businesses,” says Bjornson.

Sneak peekThose in attendance will also get a

sneak peek of what’s being planned for the upcoming season, not to mention a chance to meet the festival’s new Ar-

tistic Director, Rona Waddington, who will be on hand, and with casting well underway, there might be a few an-nouncements in that regard as well.

“There are a couple of things we’re thinking about in terms of an announce-ment,” says Bjornson.

Tickets for the Snowflake Dinner and Auction can be purchased online at stlawrenceshakespeare.ca and are $65 apiece. A partial tax receipt will be pro-

vided.Anyone interested in enjoying a

fun evening out, a delicious meal and a chance to bid on some great auction items, all while supporting the St. Law-rence Shakespeare Festival had better get to the website soon to buy a ticket before they’re all gone.

“Tickets are selling well,” says Bjorn-son.

Creating atmosphere is the secret to your receptionWhat makes one wedding more

fun than an other? There’s no need to look far: the se cret is in the atmosphere. Here are some tips on how to organize a memorable wedding reception.

The Theme Begin by choosing the theme that

will be the foundation of the wedding. This will guide you through your clothing and decorating choices, and it will even determine the wedding favours you offer and the meal the caterer serves. The theme can be a colour or combination of colours, an era or a season, a country or a culture, an object or a shared passion. Above all, it should reflect both your personalities.

enTerTainmenT and musiC If you hire an entertainer along with

your DJ or musicians, you’ll have more fun at your own wedding. You’ll both be able to circulate amongst your guests, and there won’t be any uncomfortable lulls. A good DJ is a facilitator who can adapt to the age and

tastes of the guests and keep the momentum going. Just be sure that anyone you hire can entertain according to your theme.

some ideas for surprising your guesTs

• Plan a unique arrival at the recep

tion. • Set up a photo booth with wacky

accessories. • Provide a guest book that can be a

decorative item in your home after the reception.

• Work out a dance routine to per

form to gether or with your wedding party.

• Have a karaoke machine for later on, at the reception.

• Release disposable lanterns into the sky when it gets dark, or plan some fireworks.

• Hire a magician, a croupier with casino ta bles, or a caricaturist to en tertain your guests.

• Serve custom cocktails, pou red by a professional flair bartender who can juggle bottles and do some spectacular bartending tricks.

Outstanding storytelling in Jupiter Ascending

My TakeMark haskins

PARK IT!

Leave your car at home for a day, week or a month! Try walking or biking. If work is too far away to walk carpool.

MOVIE: Jupiter AscendingSTARRING: Mila Kunis,

Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton and Eddie Redmayne

DIRECTOR: Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski

RATING: PGEntertainment - The Wachowski

siblings don’t just create worlds they create entire realities. Their movies are a complete immersion of the senses, and a disturbing twist on reality.

Like the rest of us, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) believed the human race originated on Earth. When aliens start trying to kill her she learns the truth. One day she’s cleaning toilets, and the next she’s being saved by Caine (Channing Tatum) a human/wolf hybrid.

Caine was sent to find her by Titus Abrasax (Douglas Booth). Titus

is the youngest of three siblings. Balem (Eddie Redmayne), Kalique (Tuppence Middleton) and Titus are royalty in the universe. They’re life spans are measured in millenniums, they own planets, and they are in fact human.

The Abrasax family is in the business of seeding planets with life, and then harvesting them when they’re ripe. They’ve taken an interest in Jupiter because she’s the exact genetic reincarnation of the

matriarch of the Abrasax family. As such she’s not only royalty, but she can lay claim to the Earth. Which is why Balem wants her dead. He intends to harvest the Earth at any cost.

Jupiter is thrust into a world of danger and deceit. As events unfold there’s only one thing that becomes clear. The fate of the Earth is completely in her hands.

The Wachowski’s definitely know their Frank Herbert. Intentional or not Jupiter Ascending felt very much like Dune. The machinations of the rival siblings, the quest for immortality, the desperate need for a near mystical element all reminded me very much of Dune. Though to be fair I’d say the Wachowski’s were inspired by, and not just retelling their own version of Dune. There’s no mistaking their unique style and vision. This film is visually breathtaking. The action sequences are some of the most dynamic and fluid scenes since The Matrix. Their universe is richly detailed, and their story is carefully crafted.

Of course it’s not just the visuals that are good. Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton and Eddie Redmayne manage to capture that kind of evil that’s both fascinating and creepy at the same time. I love Sean Bean, and it was great to see him in something where he doesn’t die horribly.

Channing Tatum is one of those actors who can do almost anything. He can be funny or he can be the hero. Here he was every inch the hero.

Mila Kunis is stunning. Her character undergoes the kind of transformation that might be ludicrous in a lesser actor’s hands, but Kunis pulls it off. In fact she does better than just pull it off she awes.

There were a couple of minor points. Things like what actually happens to an exposed body in space, and I would’ve liked a little more explanation on the inner workings of this universe, but as heroic space epics go Jupiter Ascending was outstanding.

Help adult cats find good homesCommunity – The Leeds & Grenville

Branch of the Ontario SPCA is taking part in the province-wide “iAdopt for Love” blitz.

All adult cats (at least nine months old) are currently available for adop-tion at the special price of $99 each. All cats are up to date with their vaccines, are spayed or neutered and are micro-chipped. The regular adoption fee is $195. The blitz ends on Monday, Feb. 16.

Marianne Carlyle, manager of the local branch that operates a shelter at 800 Centennial Rd. in the north end of

Brockville, noted that the public’s help is needed so that the OSPCA can fulfill its mandate of changing animals’ lives for the better. “You can do your part to-day by opening up your home to a cat in need,” she stated in a release. “Now is the best timing with Valentine’s Day and the Family Day long weekend ap-proaching.”

Carlyle indicated that there were 13 adult cats and two kittens available for adoption at the Brockville shelter as of Thursday morning (Feb. 5). Many shel-ters in Ontario have experienced an in-flux for cats in need of homes.

Anyone who is considering adoption of a cat or dog is invited to take the Meet Your Match survey prior to visiting the shelter. It takes just a few minutes and is a fun experience; respondents are given a colour based on their preferences and lifestyle, and that could help determine which animals would make a good choice to adopt. Visit www.meetyour-match.ontariospca.ca. Visitors are not required to take the survey

Seedy Saturday is swap time for gardenersBy DOREEN BARNES

Events – Calling all gardeners! Seedy Saturday is taking place at the Brockville Public Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, Feb. 14 in the Buell Street meeting room, on the main floor.

“Seedy Saturday is basically a free seed swap,” said library Community Development Co-ordinator Brandy Smith. “So gardeners bring their seeds to share. We will provide some seed packets to put seeds in, but gardeners can bring their own.”

All vegetables, fruit, grain and flow-er seeds are welcome and the library is asking gardeners to please label the seeds and provide any other informa-tion that would be useful to the person

using the seeds.“As a community information

source this will bring experience and inexperienced gardeners together to share information, engage community gardeners, have an awesome experi-ence, to learn and receive some proven seeds,” explained Smith. “For the li-brary, it is a way to provide informa-tion, just not in text format.

International eventThe idea of Seedy Saturday came

from co-organizer John Defayette and is an international event which was started in Canada in 1990.

No vendors will be present, but there will be garden clubs.

“Athens Garden Club, Brockville

and Gananoque Horticultural Soci-ety, Brockville Garden Club, the City of Brockville will have a table to talk about composting and the environ-ment, plus Butler’s Creek Commu-nity Garden will be here,” said Smith. “Butler’s Creek Community Garden will be taking names of those inter-ested in a community garden plot at Butler’s Creek, as well as at another site not yet developed.”

If anyone has questions, please con-tact Smith at 613-342-3936, extension 32, or email [email protected].

For more information about Seedy Saturdays, go to www.seeds.ca.

Seedy Saturday will take place in the meeting room at the Buell Street library this Saturday, Feb. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All are welcome, and the event is free.

EAT IT!

Choose foods produced organically, locally and in season. Support your regional farmers and farming industry: buying locally and in season is better for the environment than buying foods that have been shipped hundreds of kilometres to your local market.

RECYCLE!

The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. 66% of energy is saved when producing new plastic products from recycled materials instead of raw (virgin) materials.


An estimated 70,000 heart attacks occur each year in Canada. That means one Canadian falls victim to a heart attack every seven minutes. Furthermore, over 16,000 deaths are from heart attacks every year, des pite the fact that thousands of lives could be saved if proper treat-ment was received in time. In February, during Heart Month, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada invites you to learn to recognize the warning signs of a heart attack in order to react quickly and save lives. Although chest pain is the most common symptom, the warning signs of a heart at tack vary from person to per-son, and some people don’t feel this pain at all. Si mi larly,

it’s possible to feel only one symptom or a combination of the following symptoms: •chest pain or discomfort

(tightness, sharp pain, burning, or heaviness in the chest)

•discomfortintheneck,jaw,shoulder, arms, or back

•sweating•nausea•dizziness•shortnessofbreathIf you experience any of these symptoms, you should call 911 then stop all activity and sit or lie down. Take a dose of nitroglycerin, if you take it on a regular basis, and follow the recommendations of the emergency operator until help arrives. To learn more about heart attacks or the warning signs

of other heart diseases and strokes, visit the Heart and Stroke Foun da tion’s website at www.heartandstroke.com.

STAIRCASE

CERAMIC

The list of woes can be long for under-using a vehicleLifestyle - A

substantial por-tion of auto repair garage business is caused by the un-deruse of the vehi-cle. Autos of any size, make, and heritage are prone to a whole host of problems aris-ing from infrequent or short trip use, especially in our wild winter environments. This segment of consumers experi-ences more frequent break-downs and repair bills in gen-eral. From discharged batteries, seized brake components, noisy suspensions, to prematurely rusted exhausts and en-gine operation difficulties our fowl weather is no friend to fair-weather drivers. Not all is gloom and doom as there are some easy ways to keep these low-mileage units humming.

Keep it charged. I’ve covered this in early winter driving tips, so I’ll keep it short here. If your once-or twice-a-week outing is taking a toll on your vehicle’s battery with slow or no crank conditions, you and your ride might benefit from a good quality battery charger. Check at your local service or auto-parts desk. Also, during short, slow stop and start runs, be conservative with your electrical accessory use to avoid a fatal battery discharge.

Clean it out. This refers to your vehicle’s engine and exhaust system. Short drives that don’t get the engine up to operating temps or are without moderate runs at highway speeds can cause carbon deposits on the engine’s valve train and premature corrosion failures of mufflers and exhaust pipes. The carbon build-up can lead to uneven or rough engine idling and hesitation on acceleration. Exhaust parts suffer because water (a by-product of burning fuel in an in-ternal combustion engine) accumulates in higher quantities and can react with other fuel components to become cor-rosive. Carbon build-up can be treated with fuel-injection system cleaners applied by your local service professional. Gas tank additives alone won’t really clear things out. Un-fortunately there is no cleaning system for your vehicle’s exhaust save a highway run until the clouds of tailpipe steam are reduced to short wisps. Most automakers drill a hole at the lowest point of the rear muffler face to help re-duce the amount of water buildup. Make sure your service tech checks to ensure it isn’t blocked by debris when the car’s in for regular checkups.

You’ve got to lube it to move it. Disc brake caliper and brake pad tracks require more service with certain low-use vehicles to keep things moving. Sitting vehicles’ brake rotors can rust quickly but with proper driving techniques these components can still provide a reasonable service life. When taking out the chariot for a spin after several days or weeks of sitting, be gentle on the brakes and be aware of surrounding traffic and road conditions to avoid panic stops. The brake noise (squealing and light grinding) should wear off in a few miles as the linings rub off the surface rust on the rotors. It would be best to have the brakes properly in-spected at least twice a year to ensure even lining wear and to clean and lubricate the appropriate mechanical parts of the brake components as required. Parking brake systems can take the brunt of negative side effects of extended-parked vehicles. Make sure to apply and release that brake several times during a rare outing to keep it operational.

Tires and suspension systems. In extreme cases, long-sitting autos can develop unusual wear on tires caused by them sitting on one particular section of tread-face. If a tire becomes deformed in this manner, there’s not much of a cure besides replacement. Be sensitive to any new wheel vibrations and if the rims aren’t packed with snow and ice, you might need to have your tires checked. Suspension arms and joints can also reach early graves due to sitting and supporting the dead weight of a vehicle. For this reason many auto collectors mount their heritage vehicles on jack stands to prevent both tire and suspension failures. It’s a time consuming process and not recommended for vehicles unless they’re going into prolonged seasonal storage. Even over inflating the tires, which won’t completely alleviate the tire flat spots, isn’t much of an alternative. And of course

having to reset the pressure each and every time the vehicle is driven is another pain in the rear.

Beware monthly sales report bulletins. At the beginning of every month in the fi-nancial sections of just about every media source you’ll find a sound bite or paragraph about different auto companies bragging about their year-over-year increase in sales. These releases usually report the increases in percentage-gains form and are used heavily

in attempts to attract consumer interest. But these reports for all their glowing numbers really don’t provide any information on how

well or poorly an automaker is doing. Small volume players such as certain European makes can post impressive percentage gains until you consider they may have only grown their business by 50 or 70 vehicles sold. And vehicles makers that post small decreases may be coming off a particularly exceptional year and they aren’t suffering from any negative market change.

The report to pay attention to is a market-share report. This takes raw sales numbers and puts them in the perspective of exactly how much of the total market was captured by each and every company. Desrosiers Au-

tomotive Consultants Inc provides just such a monthly report and it can be found at www.desrosiers.ca.

Photo by CONAN de VRIESPhotographer Helen Mott (left) and painter Arlene Hare are among the many artists who are kicking off the 2015 season at Spencerville’s ArtScene gallery with contributions to a new exhibit called Fifty Shades of Red.

ArtScene visitors will be seeing redBy CONAN de VRIES

News – After being closed for the month of January, the ArtScene Gallery in Spencerville has opened its doors on a new season and is kicking it off with a new exhibition called Fifty Shades of Red.

Unlike the racy novels, from which the exhi-bition takes its name, none of the artwork on the walls will cause anyone to blush, but the pieces on display might well give one pause, as each work offers a creative and individual take on the exhi-bition’s theme and an inventive use of the colour red.

Most of the pieces in the show were created ex-pressly for the purpose, but a few of the participat-ing artists had older work that happened to embody the theme and hadn’t yet been shown, so any return visitors to the gallery will be sure to see something new.

Visitors will not have seen any of the other works on display in the gallery, either. About half the display space in the front room is presently giv-en over to Fifty Shades of Red, but the remainder of the space and the second room are full of brand new material from ArtScene’s 13 member artists, who work in a variety of media, among them oils, acrylics, and watercolours; photography, sculpture, pottery, jewellery and fibre arts.

Now in its sixth season, ArtScene is increasing-ly well-known throughout the region and its repu-tation as an active and vibrant gallery is growing. This past season was its best yet.

“Our year went very well,” said gallery curator and painter Arlene Hare, who is glad to see that more and more of those visiting the gallery are re-turn customers.

“We’re having a lot of people coming back now.”

A gallery is only as good, of course, as those whose art is on display, and ArtScene currently has room for a couple more artists. The gallery will consider applicants working in almost any me-dium, but their work must first be juried and their membership decided upon at the gallery’s monthly meeting. Not everyone who applies is accepted.

ArtScene is run as a co-op, with all of its mem-ber artists taking turns manning the gallery, giving visitors a great opportunity to meet the very people who created the work on display.

“The fun part is people being able to come in and talk to the artists,” says Helen Mott, fine art photographer and ArtScene co-chair, with Colleen Morris-Wilson.

Anyone interested in joining ArtScene is wel-come to drop off three representative pieces of work at the gallery. The submission will be evalu-ated at the next meeting of the ArtScene member-ship and the applicant will then be contacted with the jury’s verdict.

Those who just want to admire – or perhaps pur-chase – some fine artwork are likewise more than welcome to stop by and see what’s hanging on the walls and to check out some of the 50 Shades of Red.

The public came out in full support of a Chili Cook-off held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Brockville on Saturday, Feb. 7, in support of Erin Wade, a 22-year-old with Huntington disease. There were 13 participants in the competition with various levels of spiciness. In addition to the Mexican-themed fundraiser, there was a silent auction table with gift certificates, hair cuts, manicures, art and much more. The total raised was close to $1,700. The funds will go directly to Wade for her needs and quality of life.

Snowmobilers raise $3,000 for Easter SealsBy BILL LAURIN

Events – The Nation Valley Snow-mobile Association presented its annual fundraiser on a perfect sledding day on Saturday, drawing hundreds and hun-dreds of snowmobilers and half as many again walk-ins to the Riverside Recre-ation Centre east of Morrisburg and a hearty, home-cooked breakfast. Leslie Disheau, the organizer of the event, was beside herself with enthusiasm on the day’s success.

“Our Easter Seal Snowarama and Breakfast is our group’s charity of choice,” said Disheau, while stepping away from the entrance of the River-side Recreation Centre to make way for

snowmobilers, “and our sledders come from all over the county to this event. We get wonderful support for a great cause.”

As Disheau was answering ques-tions from the media, a steady stream of winter sport enthusiasts came through the door, registered and donated, and chose a table for a pancakes and sausage breakfast.

Linda Robinson, the absolute con-stant of the recreation group, told St. Lawrence News she has prepared the breakfast for the past 14 years, “. . . and weather allowing we always have a great crowd. This is a really great event.”

“The monies we raise at this event

go to Easter Seals Kids,” said Disheau, “and allows them or their parents assis-tance with the costs of walkers or chairs or entrance ramps and those kinds of ex-tras these kids require in their everyday life.”

Disheau had no sooner mentioned the needs of the Easter Seal Kids when the crowd jamming the entrance separated and nosing through was a stroller kind of mobile device carrying the greatest smile and most beautiful head of tousled, thick chestnut-coloured hair belong-ing to 11-year-old Melanie Bourdon. Melanie suffers the effects of Morquio syndrome, an inherited disease of me-tabolism in which the body is missing

or doesn’t have enough of a substance needed to break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminogly-cans, and which in many cases results in abnormal development. Melanie is the daughter of Jean and Angelle Bourdon of Cornwall, who said they travel to a

good number of Easter Seals events.In thanking the many supporters of

the annual Snowarama event on Satur-day evening, Disheau posted the results on social media, announcing the day had raised some $3,000 on behalf of the Dundas Chapter for Easter Seals.

St. Lawrence Lodge volunteers support residents’ comfortBy DOREEN BARNES

Community – Sixty-five volunteers known as the Auxiliary Volunteer Pro-gram (AVP) at St. Lawrence Lodge (224-bed long-term care home) have donated $15,000 to the St. Lawrence Lodge Foundation (formerly Mary Jane Hawkins Foundation) to freshen up the Fireside Lounge.

Noticeable changes to the Fireside Lounge include the flooring, newly purchased chairs, tablecloths, window dressings, painted interior, the artwork that adorns the walls and the openness of this space.

The colour scheme throughout is pleasing and calming.

According to Administrator Tom Har-rington, this area of St. Lawrence Lodge located just east of Brockville has not seen any renovations since 2006.

“This is our first major donation to the St. Lawrence Lodge Foundation,” said Harrington, “and the room is cer-tainly warming and inviting to people.”

Through the dedication of many vol-unteers, this monetary gift was raised by having bake sales, Euchre card games, a Christmas bazaar and from the AVP Lodge Shop.

The AVP Lodge Shop is an integral part of the social activities within the lodge and is open to residents in the afternoon hours to offer beverages, snacks, ice cream, chocolate bars and other comfort items.

This group has been in existence as long as St. Lawrence Lodge has been

receiving residents, for 45 years.“We appreciate the Auxiliary Volunteer Program’s signifi-

cant contribution to improving the quality of resident life,” noted Carol Brophy, co-ordinator of activation, pastoral care and volunteer services. “Our residents benefit greatly from the many services and funds provided by our Auxiliary Vol-unteer Program. This gift will continue the AVP’s caring legacy.”

Safety tipSHome Escape Planning: Good fire safety planning includes knowing two ways out of your home. In a winter storm, your exits may become blocked by snow or fallen trees, or be frozen shut by ice. Try your exits to make sure they are accessible.

Misuse of 911 places strain on emergency responders

News – Non-emergency calls to 911 are a problem, according to the Brock-ville Police Service.

Media reports of 911 calls that in-volve advice on how to cook a turkey or placing fast-food orders are glar-ing examples of how the emergency response system is being misused. Al-though most people are aware that 911 is for emergencies in which police, fire or ambulance personnel are required, others might not be aware of the cir-cumstances in which calling the three-digit number is the appropriate course of action.

Call 911 when there is a serious medical problem such as chest pain, a seizure or significant bleeding. Report a crime in progress (whether or not a life is threatened) or any type of fire involv-ing a structure, vehicle or natural set-ting. A life-threatening situation such as a fight or a person with a weapon also warrants the use of 911.

As for non-emergencies such as property damage, theft or vandalism when the suspect is no longer at the scene or a vehicle that is parked ille-

gally, the Brockville Police Service can be reached at 613-342-0127. In areas served by Ontario Provincial Police, call 1-888-310-1122.

Local residents are being advised not to program 911 into an automatic- or speed-dial system. Programming the number leads to accidental dialing, and people do not forget the number. If 911 is dialed accidentally, do not hang up. Stay on the line and tell the dispatcher what happened. A hang-up call results in a dispatcher returning that call and police being dispatched to confirm the caller is okay; this means resources are taken away from responding to actual emergencies.

In the event of an emergency, call-ers to 911 should try to stay calm and be prepared to describe their location and circumstances as well as be patient while the dispatcher documents the information. Follow any instructions given by the dispatcher (such as meet-ing officers at the door or flagging down firefighters at the curb), and answer his or her questions. Do not hang up until directed to do so by the dispatcher.

Battles for second and fourth as Jr. B season draws to a closeSports – Entering the final week

of the regular season, we know that Prescott will win the EOJHL’s Ride-au Division.

Where the other four teams in the standings might finish is not as clear. Brockville and Athens are assured of making the playoffs and finishing either second or third.

The two Jr. B hockey teams were tied 2-2 after overtime in Athens on Sunday night. John Kalivas got the clincher in the shootout to help give the visiting Tikis (19-19-2-2) the road win and a one-point edge on the Aeros (17-18-3-4) with two

games each to play. Athens netminder Alex Daley

faced 45 shots on goal through three periods and overtime. Kenton Car-mody picked up the win in net for Brockville.

With a record of 17-23-0-2, Gananoque was one point up on Westport (17-24-0-1) for the fourth and final playoff spot, and both teams had two games left on the schedule.

Westport defeated Gananoque 7-3 last Friday night, but the Rideaus then travelled to Prescott the follow-ing night and ended up on the losing

side of the same score. The Islanders rallied in Athens on

Saturday night to beat Athens 2-1 in overtime.

Gananoque travelled to Brock-ville to take on the Tikis on Wednes-day night after St. Lawrence News went to press.

The Islanders’ final game of the regular season is at home against Prescott on Sunday at 7 p.m.

As for Westport, its home-and-home series with the Aeros begins in Westport on Friday night and ends in Athens on Sunday night. The Tikis’ last game before the playoffs will take place in Prescott on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Fans at the Leo Boivin Commu-nity Centre that night are asked to bring at least one non-perishable item each for the South Grenville Food Bank; in return, the donor will get a set of Prescott Flyers hockey cards.

The division-leading team has a record of 31-7-0-4 heading into the final week of the regular season. Flyers Captain Ronnie Harrison, who had four assists in Prescott’s win on Saturday, leads the division in scoring with 60 points. In second was Cam Goldsmith of Westport with 52 points.

Photo by TIM RUHNKECole Blanchard and his Westport teammates get ready for their game against the Flyers in Prescott on Saturday night. The visiting Rideaus lost 7-3 and are one point behind Gananoque for the fourth and final playoff spot in the division. Entering the final week of the regular season, both teams had two games left. The Rideaus play a home-and-home series with Athens this weekend (Friday night in Westport and Sunday night in Athens). Gananoque took on the Tikis in Brockville on Wednesday night and will host division-winning Prescott on Sunday night.

Minkhorst buries Blackhawks with four-goal performance

Sports – The Island City Blackhawks have only lost five times this season, and it seems every time they are missing a bunch of their regulars they lose.

Last Saturday afternoon was no ex-ception; they were missing eight skaters and their star goaltender. The players who filled in did a great job. The Car-dinal Old Timers showed no pity on the Blackhawks as they pounded their guests 6-2.

Cardinal’s sniper Billy Minkhorst has struggled in earlier games versus the Blackhawks in finding the back of the net. Well, last Saturday afternoon he had no problem as he tickled the twine four times to lead his team to the con-vincing win over the visiting Hawks.

“It was hard for our lines to get any chemistry going. Our guys played hard; we just got off to a really bad start, after that we played pretty good,” said “The Velvet Fog” Rob Carter after the game. “Those guys seemed to come out with a mission to beat us and they certainly did that. We are still having a good season; we’ll bounce back and be ready to go in Ogdensburg Thursday night,” Carter added.

The senior lads from Cardinal jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead. They in-creased it to 5-0 early in the second before the Blackhawks final got on the scoreboard.

Trailing 6-2 heading into the third, the Blackhawks tried to mount some kind of come back but that didn’t happen. This was Cardinal’s game to win.

“The Champ” Wayne Morrow and Rodger “Pedro” Brayton were the only Blackhawks to score in this game.

Tonight, the Blackhawks are in Ogdensburg for a date with the Molson Maples who are no doubt out for retribu-tion after the 14-2 shellacking they took the last time these two teams met. Sat-urday night, the Blackhawks host their arch-rival the Prescott Old Timers at the “Barn on Broadway.” Game time is 9 p.m.
