Local leaders react to the loss of a great Canadian

The NDP party may have lost its charismatic founder and leader on Monday, but the country lost a great man that will be remembered for more than just his political views.

A final good bye to a proud Canadian and

a passionate leader

The NDP party may have lost its charismatic founder and leader on Monday, but the country

lost a great man that will be remembered for more than just his political views.

Whether you are con-servative, liberal or green, the feeling of loss was felt

across Canada on Mon-day morning when NDP party leader Jack Layton succumbed to cancer. “Canada and the NDP party lost a great man and an inspirational leader,”

said NDP party member and city councilor Leigh Bursey. “It is hard to put into words what Mr. Lay-ton meant to me per-sonally and to anyone in Canadian politics.”

Local federal NDP candidate Matthew Gabriel echoed Bursey’s sentiments. “He was the voice for so many gener-ations in our great coun-try,” said Gabriel, adding

that Layton left a lasting impression and his ideals will be carried on by his supporters and constitu-ents long after his pass-ing.

Local Greens Intro-duce Provincial Candi-date Charlie Taylor

The Leeds-Grenville Green Party of Ontario is pleased to announce that Charlie Taylor will represent the party as candidate in the provin-cial election on October 6, 2011. Local residents are invited to meet Mr. Taylor in Brockville on August 29.

“Charlie is extremely en-thusiastic and is eager to be-gin campaign-ing in Leeds-G r e n v i l l e . Right from the beginning Charlie was clear in his commitment to being a full-time candidate right up until election day,” stated Leeds-Grenville Green executive mem-ber Matt Casselman.

A native of Eastern Ontario and long-time Green supporter, Mr. Taylor is a graduate of Carleton University’s journalism program and currently works as an editor. After travelling extensively, he returned to Canada with the goal of championing Green Party values by running for public office. These values were evident in his campaign when Mr. Taylor ran for mayor in the 2010 Ottawa munici-pal elections.

“Running as a candi-date in the 2010 Munici-pal Elections enabled me to grow as a commu-nicator and made me re-alize how much I want-ed to make a difference as a public servant,” said Mr. Taylor.

Local residents can meet Mr. Taylor in Brockville on Monday, August 29. This Meet the

Candidate event will take place from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at the Good Shepherd Lutheran C h u r c h , located at 374 Stew-art Blvd. A campaign

meeting for Green mem-bers and supporters will precede the event from 5:00 to 6:30 PM and in-cludes dinner for cam-paign volunteers.

More information is available about Green candidate Charlie Tay-lor online at www.gpo.ca/riding/42/candidate. Details about the Green Party of Ontario election platform can be found online at www.itstime-forgreen.ca.

“It may be seen as a great loss for his move-ment, but we want to convey our condolences to the Layton family and we will see his legacy con-tinued,” said Gabriel.

Other party leaders from the area have reiter-ated the loss for Canadian politics and the loss of a worthy advocate for many issues that affect all Can-adians, regardless of their politic views.

“Jack worked tirelessly to strengthen the New Democratic Party and promote social justice for Canadians” said Past Can-

didate and Federal Liberal Riding Association Policy Vice-President Marjory Loveys. “Despite our political differences, his decency and dedication to public life were admir-able.”

“Jack Layton was one of those leaders that per-sonified the old adage ‘walk softly and carry a big stick’. He was passionate about Canada and stuck to his convictions and his vision for our nation,” said provincial Liberal candidate Ray Heffernan. “Over the years my obser-vations and interactions

have made me able to use only one word to describe him and it is “gentleman”.

“Like all Canadians, I was deeply saddened by the news of Jack Layton’s death. I want to offer my sincere condolences to his wife, Olivia, and everyone in the Layton family and to the many who looked up to and admired him,” said Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark. “Mr. Layton had a remarkable ability to connect with people and it’s unfortunate he didn’t have more time to fully experience the his-toric success he led his

party to in the last federal election.”

Local NDP members Gabriel and Bursey who knew Layton personally, spoke of a man, not a pol-itician in their thoughts and prayers for the family. “He was a man that in-spired the people who knew him,” said Bursey. “He left a lasting impres-sion outside of politics and this is how I will re-member him,” added Gabriel.

A sad day for our coun-try, its citizens and any-one who was touched by the late Jack Layton.

Dispite his undeniably failing health, Jack Layton remained to the end a driving force in the New Democratic Party.

On the 18th of August 2011 at 5:50 am officers responded to a fight on Parkedale Avenue East. At this time officers were advised that two males were fighting and had left the area. One had fled on foot and the other had fled in a vehicle. The vehicle was located on Oxford Avenue a short time later and the 21 year old driver was arrested for impaired driving and over .08. His vehicle was impounded and he was

released with a future court date.

A short time later a report was received of a partially naked male on California Avenue. Offi-cers attended and found a 19 year old male on the side of the road with his pants at his ankles. This male was determined to be the other male in-volved in the previous altercation. He was ar-rested for being intoxi-cated in a public place. He was lodged until so-ber and released.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is changing in gradual phases between 2011 and 2016 with the first big change beginning in 2011. Does that mean you need to rethink when to begin receiving your CPP pension? Maybe – here’s why:

• These days, ‘retirement’means many things – from ceasing employment to working part-time or even starting your own business -- and the CPP changes are intended to provide more financial flexibility depending on the retirement ‘path’you choose. They are also meant to encourage Canadians to work longer before starting to draw a government pension.

• Your monthly CPP pensionamount will increase (gradually from 2011 to 2013) by a larger percentage if you take it after age 65 but you’ll see a bigger decrease if you opt to take it be-tween age 60 and 64. If you are age 65 in2011,themaximumCPPbenefitis

$960 per month. If you wait until 2013(andareage70),yourCPPchequewill be 42 per cent more than that.

Taking your CPP pension before age 65 makes sense when:

•Your life expectancy is below theaverage of age 80 - 85.

•YouhaveanillnessthatdoesnotqualifyforCPPdisability.

•Youhavelittleornootherincome.•Youarepermanentlyunemployed.Delaying your CPP pension beyond

age 65 makes sense when:•Youhealthisgood.•Yourlifeexpectancyisaboveaver-

age.• You have a reasonable income

and/or intend to continue working after 65.

ª The work cessation rule has been eliminated. Before the changes you had to be at least

60 years of age and not working for at least two months in order to collect CPP. Now, starting at age 60, you cancontinue working and still receive CPP benefits.Undertheoldrules,onceyoubegan collecting CPP you never again had to contribute to the plan.

Now, however, if you are under 65and working while receiving a CPP pension,you(andyouremployer)willhave to continue making CPP contri-butions (that will increase your

CPP benefits beginning in 2013). If you are 65 - 70 and work while receiv-ingCPPbenefits,youhavethechoiceof continuing to make CPP contri-butions (that will increase your CPP benefits beginning in 2013) or not.

•Theearningsdrop-outprovision,which allows you to exclude a portion of your pensionable earnings that can reduce your CPP benefit, has beenchanged. Previously, if you retired at65,youcould‘drop-out’sevenofyourlowest earning years from age 18 to 65 when you were eligible to contrib-ute to CPP. Under the revised rules,that‘drop-out’periodincreasesto7.5years in 2012 and 8 years in 2014.

Talk to your professional advisor about getting the most out of the new CPP changes – and

every other aspect of your financial and retirement life.

For the Leslie’s, bothof whom are experienced Montessori teachers, thedecision to take over the reins and run the school themselves was an easy one,saysMaryJane.

“I’ve always been com-mitted to the idea of hav-ing a Montessori school inBrockville,”saidLeslie,adding that she taught at the former BMS for 18 years before deciding to pursue ownership of the facility.

“I had been thinking about making this move for a little while but I wanted to find the right staff and when Erica graduated and complet-

ed her Montessori train-ing, everything cametogether and the oppor-tunitypresenteditself.”

Leslie continued that her devotion to the school’s unique curricu-lum, which is geared to-wards children between the ages of two and half andsixyears,isbasedona progressive “help me do itmyself”method,stemsfrom her commitment to lifelong education and character development.

“The system is built on small successes and al-lows them to go at their ownpace,”addedErica.

“It also lends itself well to the natural love

of learning that children often display at that age and often preserves it and helps them through-outtheirlives.”

Leslie continued that,because the classes are small, 16 students perclass or a one to eight teacher/child ratio, it al-lows teachers to spend more one-on-one time with thestudents,whichhelps instructors foster the children’s individual interests.

The Editor:

As things are now:Hundreds to thousands of MS Patients

are removing more than $10 000 each from the Canadian economy. They cannot and will not wait for Canada to experiment. Time is literally too critical to them.

Millions spent on drugs and treatments that are just not, and never will be able to ex-ert good effect because they were developed using an incorrect hypothesis. These mil-lions could be used for many different things.

Billions spent on disability payments, Home Care, Assistive Devices Program, March of Dimes program, hospitalizations.

Millions to be spent on pan-Canadian clinical trial/study on a procedure that’s al-ready been proven.

Final Grade: F Sorry, you have failed. Prog-nosis is poor. Future is very grim indeed.

If Canada were to begin CCSVI treatment now:

$1500 amount estimated to treat each

MS/CCSVI Patient with Venoplasty Treat-ment.

No or Negligible amount needed for training Canadian physicians as they need only to consult with physicians who are ex-perienced with CCSVI treatment.

Millions to billions saved on disability payments especially if those who are newly diagnosed are treated immediately.

Millions saved in Assistive Devices Pro-gram, March of Dimes program, Home Care.

Millions to Billions saved in future re-lated to having to look after people due to people spending their retirement savings and re-mortgaging their homes etc. to fi-nance their treatments in other countries.

Final Grade: A+ Congratulations. You passed. Prognosis is good. Future looks brighter indeed.

Sincerely,Judy Butcher

ECONOMICS 101

Food IrradiationFood irradiation in Canada is a bit of a contentious issue, mainly

because consumers have an incorrect and vague understanding of the subject and at the regulatory level there is little incentive to help clear misunderstandings.

What is it? Well, you may recall in a previous column I spoke about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, in connection with cell phone towers. These towers give off non-ionizing radiation, which carries the information to and from your cell phone and iPad. This radia-tion is low energy, in that it is not strong enough to have any measur-able effect upon living tissue. Ionizing radiation, including UV (sun-light) and X-rays, for example, is of a significantly higher energy, and has the ability to damage or kill living organisms. This is why we are warned about high UV levels, and care is taken to limit our exposure to X-rays.

However, this effect of ionizing radiation (IR) can be useful for cer-tain tasks. It has the ability to kill pathogens and bacteria which cause food to spoil, or which can make it toxic. For example, it is possible to treat raw hamburger with IR and store it at room temperature for ex-tended periods, without spoilage. Fruit treated with IR will not mold and will retain freshness for long periods.

As the rules stand at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada, only a handful of foods may currently be treated. These foods include potatoes and onions, because the IR retards the tendency of these foods to sprout in storage. Many dry spices are treated with IR to kill microbes and insects that may be present and will cause spoilage. Most of our everyday food, however, is not treat-ed and all of us have had to deal with things we thought were fresh and which spoiled after we brought them home.

Why don’t we do more? The public is very wary of the term “ir-radiation”, mistakenly thinking that the food becomes radioactive. This is far from the case…. Consider shining a light on a loaf of bread. When you turn off the light, does the bread shine? No, of course not. If you shout at a sausage, does it emit any sound? Again, of course not. So it is with irradiation. The food is indeed exposed to a source of radiation, often cobalt 60, during its packaging phase. It does not change significantly in appearance, temperature or nutritional value, and no detectable radiation can be detected. But it will last longer before spoiling and may not require refrigeration.

One area where food irradiation is not an issue is meals supplied to airline pilots. Clearly the consequences of any spoilage would be catastrophic, so their meals have long been irradiated.

As our population increases, and we require more food supplied to more people, and as our food production resources become more stretched, we would do well to consider irradiation of food. I have read of statistics indicating that as much as one quarter (25%) of our food is rendered inedible by spoilage that could be prevented. Let’s embrace a technology which can extend our existing food supply safely and easily.

I’m going to be 100% honest here: I am terrible when it comes to taking time off, and have abso-lutely no concept of relax-ing. Perhaps it’s because I’ve constantly been work-ing in places where long vacations are a joke, and you’re lucky to get a long weekend, let alone a full week or two off. That’s one of the many perks of teach-ing overseas though: long vacations.

My trip to Japan evolved from be-ing a short weekend trip to an eleven day vacation. I’ve never been on a proper vacation before. Usually, I would be visiting family or friends, and my days would be filled to the brim with scheduled things. This time was different though. I had over a week to simply wander around Japan as I pleased, visiting places I’d never been and experiencing the country by myself.

Out of the eleven days I spent in Japan, only five of them were spent with my friends from when I lived in Japan. For the other six days, I decided to explore Western and Southern Japan, going to cities like Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukuoka. During those six extra days, something happened that I hadn’t experienced before.

I relaxed.It sounds rather ob-

vious, but studies show that it takes over three consecutive days off from your regular schedule for the feeling of vacation to set in, so I’d never had that feeling before, with work and school taking over the last decade of my life. I began to sleep better, I felt

better, and anyone who follows my website as well would notice, my drive to write hit an all-time high, writing every night about the day before. I was re-minded as to why I spent so much time studying Japanese, because some-how, I’d forgotten how much I loved it.

Vacations are import-ant. There’s a reason we’re all legally entitled to a certain number of vaca-tion days. Our health, both physical and mental, benefit from it more than we really can imagine. Va-cations don’t need to in-

volve crossing the country or ocean, you simply need to get away from your regular life. Go camping. Stay in a hotel a few cit-ies away. Indulge and let yourself be a tourist. Bring your camera and take lots of photos. Sleep in late, eat well, and see everything you can.

Despite the fact I lived in Japan for a year and a

half, there were count-less things I hadn’t seen because I was too busy trying to work. Over the span of three days, I was able to cross three things off my bucket list. That’s what a va-cation is for: doing the things you’ve always wanted to do, and see-ing the things you’ve always wanted to see.

Even though we’re drawing close to the end of the summer, make sure you take

some time for yourself soon. If you have a few va-cation days banked, don’t waste them on having a few long weekends, but give yourself a proper week off when you can. Your body and mind will thank you. I know mine did!

The Observer OBSERVATIONS

It’s time for another odds and sods column. Time to clear away some old items, answer a read-er’s question and take a look at some wine.

The LCBO has an-nounced that sales of Ontario wines have in-creased 15% over the last year. That makes 4 con-secutive years of double digit growth for locally produced wines. The Ontario wine industry has been growing expo-nentially with new win-eries appearing in the traditional Niagara and Pelee Island regions as well as the emergence of Prince Edward County as a world class wine producing region. Now there are even signs that Eastern Ontario could become a winemaking hotbed!

The fastest growing category at the LCBO is local craft beer where

sales have increased an astonishing 53% over last year! This trend seems

to be fueled by consum-ers seeking better qual-ity products and a local industry that has put the emphasis on producing new and interesting fla-vours and products that have captured the pub-lic’s imagination.

Speaking of which, I had an e-mail from a reader who was looking for the name of the “lem-on beer” we discussed earlier in the summer. It is actually a blend of lemonade and beer and a Bavarian tradition. The local version is Water-loo Radlermass (CSPC# 246132, $2.75).

There’s been quite a bit of space given to the dis-cussion generated by the Ontario Conservatives

assertion that they would consider the sale of beer and wine in corner stores. I have a final observa-tion before we consign this matter to the waste bin. This isn’t the first time the issue has been broached; we’ve all seen many such statements. If I’m not mistaken every party has given lip ser-vice to this issue. Can you guess what the net result has been?

Where did summer go? It seems like it was just June doesn’t it? The end of summer means unhappy schoolchildren, shorter days, packing up the summer place and end of season gatherings such as potlucks and bar-becues for friends, fam-ilies and sports teams, all of which would be bright-ened by the right wine.

Since these are lar-ger gatherings price and economy come into play,

hopefully without com-promising quality. While not every participant

will be a wine afi-cionado you still want good quality and taste for your guests. Here are a few choices to consider.

For our white selection we head to the southwest cor-ner of the province for Pelee Island Monarch Vidal 2009 (CSPC# 393405, $9.95), which is con-sistently year in and year out one of the best Vidal produced in the province. It offers up bright Granny Smith apple, g r a p e f r u i t , pineapple and citrus fruit fla-vours that will appeal to your guests regard-less of wine knowledge or sophistication. As well it has enough fresh, crisp acidity to make it a versa-

tile food partner for your season-ending gath-ering. White meats, simple fresh fish dishes and vegetar-ian recipes will all shine when partnered with

this unsung white.

Cono Sur Cab-e r n e t S a u v i -

gnon Shiraz 2010 (CSPC# 620674, #13.95, 1500ml.) will easily handle all your red wine needs. This stylish Chilean of-fers deep cassis, plum and red berry fruit fla-vours with a modicum of peppery spice and toasty oak. Soft, round and eminently quaffable it has a generous dose of acidity that makes it a match for all manner of grilled red meats as well as pasta and stews. Enjoy!

What if Jesus hadn’t fed the 5000?

What if he had con-fined his actions to a ‘preaching tour’ without any active involvement with the poor and needy of his time? What if he’d thought they were too different, too danger-ous, too unimportant to spend time with?

Well, the answer is simple: He wouldn’t be Jesus.

This means of course that if we want to be fol-lowers of Christ, if we want to be real Chris-tians, then we have to get

involved. Fortunately, many Brockville Church-es understand this, and run hospitality and out-reach programs.

For example, the Pier Christian Church’s Com-mon Ground program provides hospitality, prayer and lunch for 50-80 people a day. Com-mon Ground started as a coffee and prayer drop-

in program several years ago. Its primary intent was to provide spiritual care to the wider com-munity. At Common Ground everyone is wel-come. Participants find friendship, fellowship, faith and food all in one place.

If Christians want to be close to God, they need to go where God is, with the poor and marginalized. In Brock-ville such people aren’t hard to find. According to the Pier’s Pastor Jona-than Zinck, “It’s amazing how many people have

only about $70 left after expenses.” Some Brock-ville citizens are feed-ing themselves almost entirely through church ministries, Loaves and Fishes, and the food bank because they sim-ply have no other choice.

Common Ground and its sister ministries are a good thing for our city. Participants offer sup-port to each other, and benefit from the food and ministry of the churches. Many come mainly for the spiritual care and friendship.

Good Christian min-

istry should always be more about solidarity than charity. True soli-darity means being there for each other regardless of our circumstances, our appearance, our in-terests, even our sins. A church community isn’t made up of saints, but rather neighbors strug-gling to help each other and follow in the foot-steps of Christ. This is what it means to love your neighbor. This is what it means to love your God.

The Pier’s Common Ground, like so many

other Brockville min-istries, serves as a re-minder that we cannot worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore one the rest of the week. We’re called to be cre-ative, courageous and compassionate. We’re called to walk in the foot-steps of the man from Galilee who ate, prayed and laughed with the poorest around him.

Cavanagh’s book ‘Soul Side: Articles of Faith’ is available at Leeds County Books and Searchlight Books.

The Observer OBSERVATIONS

Make It Your Own, Peter Yerdon

Red Seal, O.C.T.

My oldest daughter called me with a ques-tion about chili the other day I was a little sur-prised as she is a pretty good cook and makes a pretty good chili, but she was attempting to try something differ-ent hence the question. Nice to know dad is still useful!

Of course this is going to lead to this weeks article CHILI.

W h a t makes the chili is ob-viously the spice you use, chili pow-der being the easiest as you get the fla-vour from this spice. I have used a com-bination of chili powder and cumin to get the de-sired result. Of course I always start with sweating chopped onion. Sweating is when you sauté the onions in oil until they become almost transparent, you don’t really want them to brown but that is a personal thing. This should take about 3 to 5 min. Next add your ground beef and brown it off. I cook the beef and onions together so the flavours start to blend, (drain the excess fat) next add your tomato product this is where you start to make it your own. I have used all dif-ferent kinds of canned tomato product as well as fresh tomatoes it is

a preference thing but each one brings its own change to the finished product. For instance if you use crushed tomato it will have a thicker texture then if you use diced, the diced will give you more of a chunk-ier texture with whole pieces of tomato. I usu-ally drain the diced to-mato and keep the juice to add as needed. At this point after it starts to

bubble in the pot add your seasonings; here you are on your won as you know how your family likes it. I will cau-tion to start small and build the flavours. You can always add it is hard to get it out after it has been added. Taste as you go this will you give you an idea of what it may need. Last and al-most jus before serving add your beans if you add them too soon they will break down and dis-appear.

A few years ago I gave my three grade 10 class-es a chili challenge. What happened after that was not only inspiring as a

teacher but leads into “Making it your Own” before the challenge ended my students had came back with several variations of chili. There was of course a vegetar-ian, and a chicken, we also had a chili made from cubed round steak so it had a real chunky texture, but it was ten-der and melted in your mouth, one of my stu-dents even made a chili

from venison not for everyone. So changing the meat is an option as is adding your own favourite vegetables. Diced peppers red and or green, mushrooms, kidney beans are the norm but why not baked beans or white kidney beans especially if you are using pork or chick-en, try a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Let your chili cook and reduce as the fla-vours will intensify.

You decide what goes into it after it all “You are making it your Own”

As for who won the cook off? I forget!

Enjoy.

The Brockville Braves have taken a great step towards improving an already established pro-gram with the addition of Flynn Training Systems as the strength and con-ditioning coordinators to prepare the team for the upcoming season.

Clarke Flynn, a well-known trainer in the area has worked with a num-ber of college, profes-sional and Olympic ath-letes and will be adding his knowledge and work ethic to the Braves for the 2011-12 season. “We are very proud to have Clarke on board with our organization,” said Direc-tor of Hockey Operations Krista Gill. “This is some-thing that will make our program better, and will help our players become stronger and healthier

throughout the long sea-son.”

After the first round of formal testing this past weekend, the coaching staff and players saw the level of intensity and or-ganization that Flynn Training Systems intro-duced to the team. “This is something that no other team in the CJHL will have at their disposal,” said head coach and gen-eral manager Jason Haw-kins. “We have experts in the field that run our strength and condition-ing programs for this year, something we haven’t had in the past.”

Adding strength, improving condition-ing and keeping players healthy throughout the 62 game-season is key to the success of any junior or

professional hockey team. “We are giving the players the knowledge they will need to improve and keep improving throughout the long season,” said Flynn. “Our hope is to see the team in better shape than they otherwise would be, especially in the closing months of the year.”

The team has met with Flynn and several col-leagues this pre-season to give them the tools to keep strong and healthy and to help the coaching staff identify strengths and weaknesses within the individual players. “We will be able to help the coaches make in-formed decisions to help the players where they need it most.”

Local skateboarder submits for

world record

Local skateboard en-thusiast Jeff Nolan has sent through his claim to become a Guiness World Record holder for his two-wheel manual ride earlier this summer.

Nolan, who surpassed the existing record of 100m with a run of 653m in late July, has now sub-mitted the proper docu-mentation and video to the company for their

official approval, which should take a few weeks. “It feels amazing to be recognized for some-thing at a global level,” said Nolan. “I’m very ex-cited to hear back from the people at the Gui-ness organization.”

Nolan smashed the existing record by more than six times and now has his sights set on an-other boarding mark,

the two-wheel manual downhill record. The existing record is 890m and Nolan has broken the 1000m-mark in his training over the past few weeks.

“Attempting another record seemed like the logical next step,” said Nolan, adding that he has been bettering his distance each time he trains.

The Brockville Concert Association’s 2011 clas-sical series was off to a rousing start last August 7th with the talented Na-tional Youth Orchestra of Canada who delighted an enthusiastic audience in Brockville’s beautiful Arts Centre with fabulous play-ing and a surprise vocal encore.

Because the BCA clas-sical series started con-siderably earlier this year, some season ticket sub-scribers may have missed the advantageous pricing for the complete series. The Concert Association is therefore announcing a special three concert sub-scription price of $96.00 + HST for the remaining three concerts of the ser-ies. Student tickets are only $10.00 per concert. All concerts are in the Arts Centre and start at 7h30 p.m.

Tickets can be pur-chased at the Arts Centre, online at www.brockvill-econcert.ca or by phoning the Arts Centre.

It is advantageous to purchase the set of three

concerts, rather than sin-gle tickets for each con-cert, especially as unused subscription tickets can be returned to the Treasurer of the Brockville Concert Association in exchange for a tax receipt.

Single ticket prices re-main the same at $35.00 + HST for the first two con-certs, $38.00 + HST for the

November concert and students $10.00 + HST for all concerts.

NEW: the Concert Association is also en-couraging our youth to discover and enjoy clas-sical music. They have therefore extended an invitation to recent Lions Festival stars, Lydia Piehl (soprano) and Gabriel

Tam-Poudrier (pianist) to each give a short perform-ance as a lead-in to the scheduled concert on Sat-urday September 24th.

The 2011 classical ser-ies continues with:

Saturday, Septem-ber 24th - Italian pianist Mauro Bertoli, returning to Brockville by popular demand, in duo with ac-

claimed Austrian Violinist Wolfgang David, playing on a violin built in 1715.

Saturday, October 29th – Our local Opera Star, baritone Ben Covey, together with mezzo sop-rano Julie Nesrallah who has performed across Canada and around the world.

Saturday November

26th � World famous pian-ist André Laplante, named Officer of the Order of Canada in 2005, the re-cipient of a multitude of performance awards, and juror for several presti-gious international piano competitions.

Welcome Dr. Khalid.Endodontist and ImplantologistDentistry@Brockville is very excited to welcome Dr. Khalid Al-

Hezaimi to our team and to the city of Brockville. Dr. Khalid comes to us from Boston where he has resided with his wife and child. He will be a tremendous asset to our office and community.

Dr. Khalid will eliminate the need for patients to travel to Ottawa or Kingston to see a specialist for any root canals or periodontal issues they may have. This will save many people in our community time and money.

In 2003 Dr. Khalid graduated from the University of Southern California with a certificate in Endodontics. After a year of practice he decided to expand his knowledge even further and attended Tufts School of dental medicine in Boston and graduated in 2008 with his Periodontology Certificate and Master Degree of Science. He holds many titles such as: Endodontist/Periodontist, fellow with the RCDSO in Canada, Diplomat with the American Board of Periodontlology and Clinical Professor of the Endodontic graduate program and Periodontlolgy program. He has accomplished forty publications and has given approximately twenty two oral presentations at conferences worldwide.

Why is he wanting to relocate to our area you ask? The answer is simple...peace and quiet. Already being a very busy man he no longer wants to wait in traffic for hours just to get to work and our area offers quiet hours between eleven and seven. Coming from Boston where all hours of the night sound like the middle of the day he is looking forward to some relaxation during his days off.

Dr. Khalid will be working from our Brockville and Kemptville location to offer a larger area of the community his services. We are very excited to have his warm welcoming smile in our office and hope this helps our community.
