a reusable water bottle to help patients swallow medication and quench their thirst; a note pad and pen to take notes during doctors\u2019 visits; mints to soothe throats and remove the metal taste that some patients have during treatment; and a magazine to help pass the time.School children from the Knowlton Academy are also assisting The Bell Fund by writing notes to patients that wish them well, and will be included in the kits.Martin, though she hasn\u2019t known Sebby for long, grew to be close friends with him and his family over this two- year period.She spoke about how he always managed a smile no matter how heartbreaking and unfair life had been with him.It\u2019s a harsh lesson for young children when a friend is lost.Yet somehow they were empowered to be part of the program.The children of the Knowlton Academy choir led by Lucy Hoblyn sang Cindy Lauper\u2019s \u201cTrue Colors\u201d and Rachel Patten\u2019s \u201cIts A Better Place Since You Came Along.\u201d Allie Woodard courageously shared her own memories in the farewell.With Sebby\u2019s brother by her side, Aunt Valerie Godue spoke about the young boy wanting to help everyone.He wanted to help the homeless and find ways to feed starving children around the world.He had intense curiosity for religion.And he faced a monster like a man, a little boy that lit a fire in the entire community.He gave so much and took so little, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime.Sebby Call was the true meaning of a gift to all he crossed paths with.In his memory, a donation to The Bell Fund (Cedars Cancer Foundation) would be appreciated by the family.www.cedars.ca/cedars/en/funds_and_fellowships/bell_fund Condolences may also be expressed via the website www.complexebm.com The idea is for it to become a commu- nity-inclusive, inter-generational program featuring a garden to table element that serves as a platform to integrate the basic curriculum.For example, it is a living science lab facilitating writing, reading, art, socialization, cooperation amongst many other learning skills.To better understand the concept of the project, a 20-minute film that was produced by Jane Churchill and Potton\u2019s Gwynne Basen called, \u201cA Crack in the Pavement: Digging In\u201d is a must-see and can be found online.The organizing committee strongly wants to facilitate youngsters to connect CIDI-99.1 FM CONT'D FROM PAGE 4 volunteers to help us to better serve our Townshippers community.If you have a program idea, or would like to test your talents as an on-air host, drop into the station on Monday or Friday mornings, alternatively drop us a line.We are looking for volunteers to host our morning, late afternoon, and mid-day programs.We have jobs aplenty for behind the scenes\u2019 volunteers who want to discover the exciting world of radio broadcasting.No experience necessary;

their harvest in the autumn of 2017.This ties into the existing Bistro program.Of course the group is undergoing a recruitment process for volunteers to help prepare the necessary infrastructure, planting with the children, harvesting, and food preparation.Other tasks and skills needed would be building an inventory of resources, marketing, community liason, etc.The list is long.As Mizener says, \u201cThere is something for everyone in this program, if they want to get involved.Your skill is adding to our strength.\u201d As the funds to cover the initial budget of over $66,000.00 are being amassed the school is eager to go ahead with the project this year by building raised beds in April and planting soon thereafter.Muir says that they plan to set up a simple rainwater catchment system that will serve to maintain the gardens and not burden the local water supply.A location for composting will be determined within the next couple of weeks.ANN DAVIDSON Susan Muir is an architect technician who has designed a number of school playgrounds and is now directly involved with the development of the infrastructure needed for the Knowlton Academy Greenhouse and Garden Project.Already several composting units have been ordered.That many of the plants going into the raised beds could be started soon, the school is reaching out to the wide community for donations of

Pedwell THE CANADIAN PRESS onservative leadership ( hopefuls made some last- ditch pitches for support Monday in advance of a key campaign deadline and stanching the flow of illegal migrants across the Canada-U.S.border played a prominent role.Candidates only have until Tuesday to sign up new party members in order to buttress support for their leadership bids, so several \u2014 Kevin O\u2019Leary, Maxime Bernier and Steven Blaney were doing their best to grab some Tory-friendly headlines.In an early e-mail blast, businessman and reality-TV star Kevin O\u2019Leary suggested using the Constitution\u2019s veto power, known as the notwithstanding clause, to block refugee claims from people who enter Canada ACNSS: Looking back CONT'D FROM PAGE 3 Patry explained that ACA\u2019s mission is to protect the natural environments of the Appalachian region of southern Québec and to date has succeeded in guarding 12,700 hectares.Explaining that ecological services refers to the benefits obtained by humans from nature, she spoke of man\u2019s dependence on the land and comparison of cost to fix it when it has been damaged \u2014 a better understanding that modification of natural environments and not preserving nature generates costs.Calculating the market price lost from potential produce illegally.It\u2019s a response to a recent spike in illegal border-crossings from the U.S.into Canada, in many cases by people apprehensive about a Trump administration that\u2019s limiting immigration and stepping up deportations.Under the Canada-U.S.Safe Third Country agreement, migrants who seek to cross at official border crossings are turned back if they have already made a refugee claims in the U.S.Ottawa could act unilaterally if the U.S.doesn\u2019t agree to amend that agreement, O\u2019Leary suggested.\u201cIf the U.S.won\u2019t agree to closing the loophole so that those crossing into Canada illegally are returned to the U.S.where they are entitled to a fair hearing before an independent court, then Canada must act on its own,\u201d said the e-mail.Earlier Monday, former cabinet minister Bernier sent a basic solicitation, urging would-be supporters to sign up before 5 p.m.ET Tuesday.But he later doubled down on O\u2019Leary\u2019s message, saying not only would he use the notwithstanding clause, but he\u2019d deploy the military as a \u201ctemporary\u201d measure to backstop existing police and border resources.\u201cIf it takes too long to put that additional manpower in place, I will look at additional temporary measures \u2014 including deploying Canadian Forces in troubled border areas,\u201d Bernier said in a statement.Steven Blaney sent out an eyebrow-raising fundraising email of his own on the weekend, denouncing alleged anti-Se- mitic remarks by some Muslim leaders.The e-mail, containing the subject line \u201cShould Allah kill all the Jews?\u201d, referenced individuals including an imam and former Ryerson University teaching assistant who was recently removed from his position over alleged anti-Jewish remarks.Leadership hopeful Michael Chong was also making headlines Monday \u2014 but not for his campaign efforts.Social media was abuzz all day about a Globe and Mail item from March 22 by columnist Leah McLaren, since taken offline, in which she describes trying to breastfeed Chong\u2019s infant baby during a house party more than 10 years ago.On Twitter, Chong shrugged it off as \u201cno doubt odd, but of no real consequence.\u201d As the deadline loomed, other would-be Tory leaders opted for the straightforward approach, highlighting the support they\u2019ve already drummed up through new memberships or from within the party\u2019s office holder ranks.along with replacement cost, Patry spoke about the value of the wetlands.By understanding the monetary value of the work the wetlands do, it is easier for people to realize how important it is to protect them.In terms of climate control, purification of water, habitat for biodiversity, and extreme events prevention, they see that the services would cost $14,030 per hectare annually.When there are 1,200 hectares of wetland in South Stukely there is a value of a staggering $ 16.8 million per year in ecological services Richards says that the organization will work on three fundamental tracks for the future and the sustainability in nature conservation.They will advance the concept of reconciling conservation and spatial planning in the context of sustainable development.They endeavour to protect the 1,200 hectares of sensitive wetlands in South Stukely and they want to continue to build their endowment fund so that their investment income is sufficient to protect the land for which ACNSS provides life stewardship.Pierre Lemieux reinforced his opposition to legalizing marijuana amid news that the Trudeau Liberals planned to introduce legislation this spring to legalize pot by July 2018.Lisa Raitt posted a video on her social media accounts, urging Canadians to join her under a \u201cbig blue tent.\u201d And Erin O\u2019Toole\u2019s campaign sent out separate e-mails announcing more endorsements, including a pack-leading 26 sitting MPs who were publicly backing his leadership bid.Divergent messages, but all with the same goal, said Main- street Research president and CEO Quito Maggi.\u201cThese are all attempts to differentiate themselves from the other candidates,\u201d said Maggi.While the party said it doesn\u2019t expect to release official numbers until some time in April, Maggi said he anticipated roughly 175,000 individuals paid the required $15 membership fee to become eligible to vote for a new leader, with that number likely to approach 200,000 by the deadline.Just over 251,000 people took out memberships in 2004 before Stephen Harper was elected to lead the party.Financial statements, Audit, Bookkeeping, Taxation, Corporations, Individuals, Estate
