www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday November 21, 2007 - 3 Jack still turning lemons into lemonade Five-year-old Jack Yeilding of Oakville was to take his place among the Kids Believe in SickKids young heroes last night at a gala recognizing children and youth who have embraced the spirit of giving by raising money for the Hospital for Sick Children. Through his fundraising lemonade stand, which made its appearance on the streets of Oakville on May, 26, Jack was able to contribute a whopping $14,435 to the more than $100,000 total raised by the evening's winners for the hospital. For this outstanding achievement Jack was to be honoured with the Spirit Award during the evening's festivities. Jack's Lemonade Stand and Garage Sale was all about Jack turning lemons into lemonade. His mom Jodi does not want her son to be defined by his health challenge -- intractable epilepsy (epilepsy that does not respond to medication). She believes that involving Jack in philanthropy will show him that his epilepsy could also have a positive effect on life. The project started out with a small amount of pocket change and a modest goal of $1,000, but quickly grew as local businesses chipped in with even Oakville Mayor Rob Burton making an appearance at Jack's Lemonade Stand. In the end the fundraiser's goal was exceeded more than 14 times in an accomplishment that brought Jack to the attention of the Kids Believe in SickKids program. "It's amazing to see all these children, no matter how old they are, embracing SickKids Foundation as their charity of choice," said Paula Roberts, VicePresident, SickKids Foundation. "We pride ourselves on being a leader in encouraging philanthropy, especially in children. We believe that healthier children lead to a better world and what better way to help sick children than to encourage other children to fundraise on their behalf?" Since its birth in 2005, the Kids Believe in SickKids program has inducted almost 1,000 children into their family of heroes while the program itself has earned more than $600,000 for children's health care. The funds raised by the program are designated to the highest priority needs established by the hospital each year. Last year, many areas of the hospital were supported by these funds including vital research projects and the play area of the surgical day care unit.

Jack Yeilding Bank card charges laid A 21-year-old Oakville man has been charged in connection with a payment card skimming operation.
