North Grenville council’s zoning amendment decision appealed
Jennifer Westendorp

sidering severance applications, municipal staff always consult the Official Plan, which talks about infilling and intensification in the urban area of Kemptville. He also explained a number of zoning amendments are required, including a reduced lot area and lot frontage, and an increase in the front yard set-back and an increase to the eastern interior side yard. During the meeting, neighbouring property owners said the lot severance was an inappropriate use of the neighbourhood, which is comprised of primarily large lots and homes. One neighbour stated the fact the amendment required bylaws, rather than minor variances, spoke to the abnormality of the application. See OMB page K5

Council’s decision to reject a zoning bylaw amendment application from Dave Simpson, owner of 204 Asa Street in Kemptville, has led to an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board. “I wish this evening to advise publicly that council met as Committee of the Whole in closed session at 6 p.m. in the green room at the municipal centre,” said CAO Brian Carré. He said the meeting was, “to consider matters before the Ontario Municipal Board, affecting the municipality, more particularly
the appeal of council’s decision pertaining to zoning bylaw amendment application ZBA-10-15.” He explained members of council were informed of the status of the appeal. “And received advice from legal counsel,” said Carré. “I would also like to confirm the committee rose without report.” The lot severance on Asa Street was disputed by neighbouring property owners during the public meeting for the zoning bylaw amendment on Oct. 19. Simpson plans to build a house on the severed lot, with a shared driveway between the new build and the existing house on the property. At the public meeting, planner Phil Mosher explained the subject lands are 684 metres squared. He said when con-

211 Ontario provides easy access to community services, programs akulp@metroland.com
Need information on mental health services, bereavement or afterschool programs? Look no further than 211 Ontario. Lanark County councillors got some insight into the provincial initiative Jan. 13 during the county’s community services meeting in Perth. According to United Way Lanark County (UWLC) executive director Fraser Scantlebury, 211 is a database of community, social and health services. Feb. 11 is also being celebrated as provincial 211 Day. “It’s a single point of access to all community resources,” he explained, adding that United Ways provide support for 211. “It originally started
in the United States in Atlanta, under the auspices of the United Way as a way to get information out to the community.” The way 211 Ontario works is simple: Those needing access to programs or services who are unsure where to turn, can simply call 211 or visit www.211ontario.ca. There, they can find resources to help pay rent or hydro, access information for food banks, or find a listing of seniors’ programs in their community. It is free, confidential and can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “In crisis, people don’t now who to call so they can call 211 and get the help they need,” Scantlebury commented. Scantlebury said the difference with 211 Ontario is those calling al-
ways speak with a live social worker and it’s multilingual. He noted the closest centre is in Ottawa and each representative has a wealth of knowledge about individual communities across Lanark County (and Ontario) at their fingertips. “They use proximity mapping, so they know where people are (calling from) and know exactly where they should be going for services,” he said. “It’s confidential, which is really the
key. There’s no trapping. And all the centres across Ontario are linked, so they all share the same database.” Because of that database, statistics can be provided back to Lanark County on how many residents are accessing the service. Scantlebury said use in 211 Ontario has grown since it was introduced in 2011. At that time, there were 246 calls, while in 2012, that number jumped to 536 and even higher in 2013 to 633. Last year, there were 1,439. “That’s a significant increase and part of that has been the United Way going out and talking to banks and other industry to get more people using it,” he commented. The top five reasons people have called 211 Ontario include to gain information about income or financial assistance, mental health and addiction, health, housing and community resources. Without people clogging the phone lines of municipalities trying to find this information, Scantlebury suggested the program saves time and money and “connects people with

Scantlebury said three years ago, UWLC began referring clients to 211 Ontario and urged county councillors to alert their communities of the initiative and how it can help residents. “It is a real resource for your citizens...we don’t refer anybody to any specific agency, but refer them to 211,” he stated. “...How can you help us out? Refer your citizens to 211 and use the logo and link in your communications plans.” Feb. 11 has been named provincial 211 Day. “It’s an appropriate day and works well. It’s all about making the right call and making that connection,” Scantlebury said. County councillors were supportive of the initiative. “The person who answers is a live social worker,” said Coun. Jane Torrance. “It’s one of the best services you’re ever going to get.” “This is something good to support,” added Coun. Louis Antonakos. R0013650604_0121

Search for alternative policing options shelved by county for now akulp@metroland.com
With rising Ontario Provincial Policing (OPP) costs top of mind, Lanark County has put its search for alternative policing options on the back burner for the time being. The reason for this, county CAO Kurt Greaves revealed during the Jan. 13 county corporative services committee meeting in Perth, is due to the Ottawa Police Service’s (OPS) inability to provide costing at this time. They may not be able to do so until at least 2020. On Jan. 4, Greaves, warden Gail Code and former corporate services committee chair Richard Kidd met with OPS representatives on the matter, to see if it was a possibility for OPS to provide policing to Lanark County. A sum of $50,000 had been set aside to proceed with the costing. The OPP bill for the county in 2016 is set at $10.5 million, which represents a 7.8 per cent increase compared to 2015. “The result of the meeting was agreement among all parties to recommend that now would not be the best time to proceed,” Greaves stated in his report to the committee. “The reasons were that the Ottawa Police Service has just completed a three-year business plan and the staff are committed to implementa-
tion. This will be their priority and will not allow them the time or staffing to proceed with the planning and logistics that would be required to implement a Lanark County operation. A Lanark County operation would not be able to commence until at least 2020.” Discussion also took place surrounding infrastructure requirements needed for the OPS to make it work. Greaves said that with the geographical size of the county, investment would be needed in stations, communications, etc. However, this doesn’t mean a partnership wouldn’t be a possibility in the future. “They left the door wide open. They’re certainly not opposed to policing Lanark County and the chief (Charles Bordeleau) certainly gave us some consideration since the last time we met,” Greaves commented. “We’ll wait and see what happens with the OPP. Things may come down from the province, but we’ll look at this (matter) in another few years,” he added. “We could do the costing now, but it would sit on the shelf for a few years and be stale data.” According to Greaves’ report, rural counties are the hardest hit in the rising cost of policing “where taxpayers bear the brunt of tax hikes
that often exceed the rate of infla- said. “With their three-year plan “This is a very important issue, tion since these counties have little and what they have going on, it’s one of our priority issues,” Greaves or no industrial tax base.

Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus elects new chair, sets 2016 priorities The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) at its annual inaugural meeting held in Kingston on Jan. 14 and 15, elected warden Peter Emon of the County of Renfrew as the 2016 chair. Peterborough County Warden J. Murray Jones was also elected as 2016 vice-chair for a second consecutive year. Emon is reeve of the Town of Renfrew while Jones is mayor of the Township of Douro-Dummer. By virtue of his election, Emon will also represent the EOWC at board meetings of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). Under the leadership of Emon and Jones, the 13 members of the EOWC set their five key priorities for the coming year: • Convincing the province, Hydro One and the major natural gas providers to urgently invest in the region’s hydroelectricity and natural gas transmission systems, to provide major industrial and commercial customers with affordable expansion opportunities and greater relief in operational costs. This will allow for the creation of new jobs as well as safeguarding many others that are presently at risk, due to the lack of availability and exorbitant costs. • Working in tandem with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network to close the cellular network and mobile

This is an essential service that has become indispensable for economic development, emergency services and homebased businesses. • Continuing research and advocacy on the province’s consideration for
“growth planning for eastern Ontario.” The EOWC has concerns on any proposal that would limit growth and economic development opportunities in rural eastern Ontario, particularly as numerous development controls already exist in the region and most townships bordering the City of Ot-
tawa experience little growth. • Supporting the leadership council as it begins the implementation of key actions proposed in the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. This council, formed in September 2015, is a financial partnership between the EOWC, the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, and the Ontario East Economic Development Commission. • Advocating at the provincial level for an across-the-board decrease in Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costs, namely by eliminating inefficiencies in service delivery, finding cost savings through the modernization of policing services, and using available technology to gather evidence for court and defence procedures. “Like my colleagues and the many wardens before me, I am honoured to chair the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus in 2016 and help implement this year’s priorities in support of the 750,000 property taxpayers across rural eastern Ontario. As always, the EOWC will continue to extensively research the issues that affect our region and use those facts to advocate for positive changes and generate new ideas that will ultimately improve service delivery in our municipalities,” stated Emon. “One of our major concerns this year is the proposed growth-planning
exercise for eastern Ontario – which, if implemented for the wrong reasons, could negatively impact the growth potential and economic development opportunities in many of our small and rural townships. By the same token, the EOWC will continue to lobby for regulatory changes and cost relief in the energy sector – both hydroelectricity and natural gas – as the current system has left the region at a standstill in terms of expansion and growth,” he continued. “The EOWC will continue to monitor the escalating cost of policing, and will work with the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee (EOMC) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) to find solutions that will reduce the burden to local taxpayers of providing emergency services,” added Jones. “We also look forward to working with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network as well as our federal and provincial partners to close the cellular gaps that exist in many of our communities.” “Municipalities across the region continue to face significant financial shortfalls, and one of the most important things that the EOWC can do to alleviate that burden is by improving the conditions for growth and economic development,” concluded Emon.

New rules in effect for pedestrian, school crossings As of Jan. 1, the Province of Ontario has adopted a new law to ensure pedestrians crossing roads are safe. The new law states that vehicles must yield the right of way to pedestrians as they cross the whole roadway. These rules apply at pedestrian crossovers identified with specific signs, road markings and lights – the new rules do not apply to pedestrian crosswalks at intersections with stop signs or traffic signals, unless a school

enham Public School was threatened by the provincial government, he and others fought back with their own plan to build and staff their own school. This was done and eventually the province bought the school from the local group. The community is hoping the province has learned their lesson about messing with the Pakenham Public School these many decades later! When Lanark County decided to build a new home for the aged in the north part of the county it was an opportunity for the area. As chairman of the Almonte General Hospital board, Charlie invited the county homes committee to view a plot of land adjacent to the hospital which was owned by the hospital. The board offered to provide the land as a building site for the new home. This was accepted and Fairview Manor was built and thrives to this day in its second home now attached to the hospital. Charlie’s support for the Almonte General Hospital meant several interventions at the provincial level continuously securing funding until more security was finally achieved for the hospital. As Pakenham sits between Almonte and Arnprior, use of the two hospitals is divided. That is likely how Charlie ended up serving on the board of the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital as well. Charlie’s contributions towards building the Sandpoint golf club, Pakenham Curling Club, Pakenham School, Fairview Manor, and the Almonte General Hospital has provided our community with rich resources that make it a wonderful place to live and raise families. His greatest joy is his marriage to the former Beth Blair and being blessed with

Gillan, former reeve and community builder as part of the annual Pakenham Frost Festival Appreciation ceremonies will take place on Friday, Jan. 29 at 7:15 p.m., with former Pakenham reeve and community builder Charlie Gillan being honoured. O Canada will be sung by the Cedar Hill Zion United Church Children’s Choir with the Jr B hockey game immediately afterwards, featuring the Arnprior Packers versus the Ottawa West Golden Knights. Gillan, who is convalescing at home this week, has a long history of entrepreneurship and community involvement. Charlie, as he is known, served as a private in the Canadian Infantry in the Second World War and sailed the north Atlantic as a US maritime marine. He was a commercial photographer, a woodworker of repute, a real-estate agent in Edmonton, operated Gillan Fur Farm for 30 some years and was owner and operator of Pakenham Yamaha, a motorcycle and snowmobile sales and service outlet. For his leisure activities, Charlie hunted, trapped, fished, played golf and was an active curler. In public life, he was honoured to serve Pakenham Township for 19 years as councillor and/or reeve and Lanark County as warden. As a long-time curler, Charlie was the vice-president of the Pakenham Curling Club when they purchased an artificial ice plant. His plan had the male members’ finance 30 per cent of the capital cost plus the installation while the ladies paid off the balance by generating funds through bake sales, rummage sales, etc. When a closure of the Pak-

COMMENTARY
Steer clear of snow
A
recent early-morning drive to work after a modest overnight snowfall served as a reminder of the efforts made by municipal works personnel and private contractors to keep streets and roads passable when winter weather makes for less than ideal driving conditions. There were plenty of blue and yellow lights flashing across Lanark, Leeds and Grenville as snow-removal equipment was in use as most people were still asleep. Each municipality has a system or protocol for plowing roadways and sidewalks. Lower-priority locations will take longer to get because that’s the way it is. Although we encourage anyone who has an issue with the snow-clearing system in his or her community to voice those concerns to the appropriate municipal official, we urge residents to be patient and to assist by not leaving vehicles where they would block winter road maintenance efforts. There’s also the issue of taking snow
from private property and placing it onto a public roadway or sidewalk. This might not seem like a big deal, but plowing snow to where it could pose a public safety hazard to motorists and pedestrians is an offence. The vast majority of property owners and contractors don’t do it, but it’s something that can cause problems unnecessarily. Another scenario which is more of an issue is motorists who do not clear ice and snow from their vehicles and then pose a threat because of their limited visibility or the effect that flying ice can have on other drivers. Making a bit more of an effort to minimize the risk posed by winter weather and its effect on travelling seems like a reasonable request. We should expect our provincial and municipal governments to provide adequate road maintenance services, but some of us can do a better job of assisting them by not getting in their way when the snow flies.
Annual Box Social was always good for a few surprises They were all good neighbours, those along the Northcote Side Road, a helping hand always at the ready. They mingled over the euchre table at the Saturday night house parties, and ate in the same kitchen when they gathered for thrashing or wood-sawing days. And yet when it came to church, there was, what Father called, ‘the great divide’. The Lutheran and United churches in Northcote were where most of the social life of the community took place. And although both congregations joined together for events, there was often a ‘them and us’ attitude between the two churches. Father, a staunch Lutheran, often complained that ‘those Uniteds only give us the right time of day when there is a free meal in the offing’. Mother

Councillor urges Lanark County to support Syrian refugees locally akulp@metroland.com
The federal government has agreed to provide safe haven for 25,000 Syrian refugees and one county councillor believes Lanark County could do more to support the five or more families who will be residing here. Coun. Jane Torrance asked that the item be added to the new business section of the county’s community services committee meeting Jan. 13 in Perth, for discussion. She had previously brought up the idea of financial support for refugees during budget deliberations at the end of the year. “There was no way to talk about it then, because we didn’t know what was happening,” she said. Fast forward to last week and Torrance said Lanark County will be welcome five Syrian families: two in Mississippi Mills and three in Perth. “Carleton Place is doing an investigation and I have since heard that Smiths Falls may be looking into support,” she commented. With that, Torrance believed the county should step up. “I think the county has a role to play in this – a leadership role – not in doing work of the community but

The night of the party at the United Church, was bitterly cold. We bundled up like mummies and headed out in the flat-bottomed sleigh, with Audrey holding her box, tightly wrapped in a spankingly clean white tea towel, and then in a heavy blanket to keep its innards from freezing. I watched as she packed it. Two fried chicken legs, two of Mother’s sticky buns, butter tarts and homemade brown sugar fudge. She wrapped it in white paper and coloured red hearts all over it with crayon. On top was a red bow, taken
assembling people and being information brokers,” she explained. In email conversations with the county’s director of social services Nancy Green, Torrance said she indicated this type of role may be better suited for the Local Integration Partnership. “I think I’d prefer the leadership to come from Lanark County, but Nancy said she can’t work on it without some direction from council,” Torrance stressed. “I’d like a staff report or a meeting of everybody (both Perth and Mississippi Mills Syrian refugee committees) so that everybody knows what’s going on. It could be more informal than a staff report, but if there needs to be a report to lead to that meeting, so be it.” Coun. John Fenik noted that Perth council left these sorts of decisions up to the local committee and the organizations involved. “As the mayor, we made a small donation on behalf of council and as the leader of the community, I welcome, with open arms, any Syrian families and I will greet them in private as I didn’t want them exposed to the press or media,” he stated. Fenik said he could see county support being given in the form of a welcome
right off my washstand upstairs used to tie up my long red ringlets. She had washed and ironed it and I had to admit, the box was a sight for sore eyes, and I was sure would be one of the first to be bid on. Well, after lots of frivolity, it came time to bid on the boxed lunches. Some were just in plain shoeboxes, but those like Audrey’s stole the show, and the bidding started. Audrey of course, was hoping a lad from the Barr Line she was sweet on would buy hers. Well, as it turned out, Orville, whose two eyes went in different directions, and one ear had been half ripped off in a fight with Two Mile Herman paid a full dollar for Audrey’s lunch box. To say she was more than disappointed would be an understatement. She watched one of the Thom girls’ boxed lunch go to the boy from the Barr Line, but I was mighty proud
message from warden Gail Code. “I think that’s absolutely a role,” Torrance said. “It’s not the work of a municipality to settle refugees, there are other people to do that, I’d just like to be informed in what they’re doing. Mississippi Mills made a small donation. We’re not doing much, but giving recreation passes and free skating, but to say we are welcoming families. This is a huge economic development opportunity that families are settling in Mississippi Mills. I don’t think the county can do a whole lot, actually, but they can be an information broker.” Coun. Richard Kidd said that in order to be an information broker, the county would have to gather it. “Staff would have to do that, but the county doesn’t have to do everything,” he pointed out. “These organizations can come together without us having to do it. Perth has done a great job.” Torrance said she was trying to eliminate work by these committees so they could access information more quickly and easier. “Instead of having eight calls (to Lanark County) for housing...there should be a way for it to only be one call. That’s what I’m getting at,”
of my sister who made the best of it. The evening ended up with a rousing square dance, then we gathered up the remains of the lunch box, and headed for home. On the sleigh Mother told Audrey she was mighty proud of her, and she pointed out how the lad had a wonderful smile, and looked as clean as a whistle. Father, sitting on a bale of hay at the front of the sleigh, could be heard saying, “yes, and he’s a Lutheran too.” Audrey didn’t care what he was. As far as she was concerned the friendship with the lad from Admaston, began and ended at the box social on a cold frosty night at the United Church in Northcote.

she stated. During the meeting, Green reiterated she felt the leadership role lay with LIP, rather than social services, but said the meeting idea was a good one, in which the county would participate. Kidd then put a motion
on the floor to have staff put together a welcome package for Syrian families and to set up a meeting. However, Fenik believed the meeting may be overstepping. “We’re entering into a bit of a difficult situation. The motion for a welcome pack-
age and a welcome from the warden is a good first step,” he said. “It’s a nice balance. If more (support) is needed, the matter can come back to this committee.” The motion was voted on as amended and carried.
RRSP basics – the Super Seven ways to save and grow You already know that one of the best retirement savings strategies for most Canadians is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) -- and, as this year’s RRSP contribution deadline nears, here is a Super Seven list of some of the best ways to get the most from your RRSP. 1. Beat that deadline This year’s RRSP contribution deadline is February 29, 2016 – don’t miss it! 2. Maximize Always make your maximum contribution each year – that’s how to get the most in immediate tax savings and in long-term growth. You’ll find your contribution room on your most recent notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). 3. Catch up Fill up unused contribution room. You can do that in a single year or over a number of years until you reach age 71 4. Rise up To have more money in retirement, raise your RRSP contributions as your income rises. 5. Borrow to save An RRSP loan can be a good option for maximizing this year’s contribution or catching up on past contributions – but only if the interest rate is low and you pay it back as quickly as possible. A good way to do that: Use your RRSP tax savings to help pay off the loan. 6. Diversify for growth Your maximum RRSP contributions are capped by the government – so to get the additional income

you’ll likely need to enjoy the retirement of your dreams, be sure to invest in a TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA) and a wellbalanced non-registered portfolio based on an asset allocation plan that matches your risk profile and time horizon. 7. Designate Choose a beneficiary for your RRSP (in Québec, this must be done through a will). Generally, RRSP assets with a beneficiary designation do not form part of your estate and do not attract probate fees. If your beneficiary is your spouse/partner or a disabled child/grandchild, your RRSP can be transferred taxdeferred to your beneficiary’s registered plan. Saving for retirement is an absolute necessity – and an RRSP is a great way to do just that when it’s part of an overall financial plan tailored to achieve your retirement dreams.

The following is the next installment in a series of monthly articles on local museums in Lanark County. This series is being offered in partnership with the Lanark County Museum Network. Have you been? There is an historical treasure waiting to be discovered on the north side of town in Carleton Place – The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. The museum is located in a beautiful two-storey stone building, and tells the stories of the people who lived in the town and in Beckwith Township. Built in 1872, this was the first town hall of Carleton Place. It housed the council chambers, a public auditorium, the “lock up” cell, and a caretaker’s apartment. It is now a designated building under the Ontario Heritage Act. The building was converted in 1879 to Victoria Public School (amid much public argument and one fist fight) and used as such until 1969. Murals on the outside of the Museum depict former municipal leaders, students and teachers, and some of the artifacts in the museum’s collection. Look for the prisoner in his jail cell!

Visiting interesting locations sparks some travel dreams ances on the Great Lakes exceeds the number in the much more famous (or infamous) Bermuda Triangle? For anyone who wants to find a snapshot of what Canada was like in its infancy you have only to visit Upper Canada Village near Morrisburg. Old Fort Henry in Kingston or Fort Wellington at Prescott are both outstanding seasonal choices. In fact the full length of the St. Lawrence Seaway is jam-packed with historic sites and structures of all sorts. For people in this region nearly all of the sites can be visited as part of a day trip. Then there’s Ottawa, the nearby nation’s capital, which is one of the most important tourist destinations, not only in Canada but in North America. In terms of overseas travel, where to start is the question? Dream destinations For Kathleen and me our current dream destinations are Australia and New Zealand. That excursion will have to wait until Kathy retires. As I have mentioned in previous columns we often meet and speak to Aussies and Kiwis on our travels in Europe. Virtually all are in the region for six to eight weeks. It’s hardly worth travelling so far unless you make a major excursion out of it. The reverse is also true. North Americans who travel ‘Down Under’ usually do so for many weeks. We hope to do the same and in the not too distant future. When I think about travel locations and recommendations then countries and places in Europe begin to roll through my mind. Unfortunately I can only touch on some in a relatively short article such as this. In terms of continental Europe there are “can’t

miss” countries such as France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. When it comes to cities, Paris tops the list for most people of our acquaintance. Dutch cities like Rotterdam (Europe’s biggest port) and Amsterdam are excellent of course. For history buffs the beaches of Nor-
mandy and the war cemeteries top my personal recommendation list. You have to see them. It’s that simple really. If you don’t you’ve missed an awful lot! In France one of our favourite stops was in the city of Rouen, the capital of the Normandy region. Located in northern France, on
the River Seine, Rouen’s history is fascinating. Highlights include the city’s gothic Notre Dame Cathedral. Its façade was the subject of a series of paintings by famous artist Claude Monet, some of which can be found in See MAGUIRE page 12

While I was still in high school I dreamed of visiting England and Ireland, the countries where my maternal grandparents were born. Especially Northern Ireland where the ‘Clan Maguire’ were once the dominant family in a large and strategic section of the island nation. I hadn’t met my wife of course and never considered that I would eventually marry someone with a family history which so closely parallels my own. Obviously some things are meant to be and some 46 years after we first met Kathleen and I are fortunate enough to have fulfilled many of our travel dreams. In fact England feels like a second home we have spent so much time there. Ireland isn’t far behind. We plan to make many future visits to those storied and now familiar islands. Last week I wrote about what I consider to be some of the dos and don’ts of travel, focusing on transportation choices, accommodations and food. I’ve already heard from a number of you who have been good enough to share some of your own travel experiences. Of course travel wishes and travel budgets (not to mention available time) don’t always mesh. For those who don’t have the time, resources or the inclination to travel internationally, there are good vacation options close to home. If you live in eastern Ontario and you enjoy history then the possibilities for day trips or short holidays are endless. Canada is a relatively young nation but we have an intriguing history and so much of it centres on the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes. For example, did you know that the number of unexplained ship disappear-

the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. We love the pedestrianized centre of Rouen which is such a great place to explore. Even the storefront McDonald’s (you can buy a beer there to wash down your Big Mac) has an historic sign which dwarfs the usual golden arches. Travel farther south in Western Europe’s largest nation and you can experience the Alsace Region. Vineyards, pottery and lovely villages are chief among the highlights in this delightful part of France. You can visit restaurants for lunch in which the menu features one choice – a sop-up beef dish with gravy to die for (or from eventually). Just across the border lies our favourite part of Germany, the unbeatable Black Forest Region. Rolling hills and mountains, beer, wine, schnitzel and picturesque walled communities set this area apart from any other we’ve visited. Hidden gems are unlimited. I recommend a stay in the town with the best collection of restaurants we’ve ever come across, the picture postcard community of Gengenbach. Travel from Frankfurt to Offenburg on the high speed train. Gengenbach, the favourite destination of our Carleton Place friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc (they introduced us to this very special place), is just a 20-minute drive to the southeast. It’s a myth that the German diet is
topped by sausages and sauerkraut. Try the salads in the Black Forest which are the best I’ve ever tasted. Their version of potato salad will have you wanting to swim the Atlantic. No travel feature from me would be complete without references to Great Britain. In short my favourite destinations in England are London first and Yorkshire, the largest county in the nation, second. No visit to London is complete without a cruise from Westminster Pier, close to the Parliamentary complex, to Greenwich where Kathy’s late grandmother was born. Banqueting House Of course the usual highlights such as Tower Bridge, the neighbouring Tower of London and Buckingham Palace are musts. But don’t miss the little known Banqueting House on Whitehall, opposite Horse Guards Parade. Its construction dates from 1619 and it is the only part of the old Palace of Whitehall to survive the fires which ravaged the British capital in the 17th Century. The breathtaking, vaulted ceiling is hand painted. The centre piece, best viewed in a strategically placed mirror, is the Apotheosis of James I by Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens. Speaking of fires, don’t miss the monument to the Great Fire of London (September 1666). I nearly did, but sharp-eyed Kathy spotted it. The 202-foot (62 metre) Doric column
stands in “The City” (which encompasses the financial district) near the north end of London Bridge. Moving north to Yorkshire, historic towns, stately homes and ruins top my personal highlights list. Founded by the Romans in 71 AD, the walled city of York is a must. Its spectacular main focal point, York Minster, is the second largest cathedral in the country, behind only Canterbury Cathedral in southeastern England. Awe-inspiring Canterbury, which we have also toured, is on our “repeat visits” ledger. Just 15 miles (24 km) north of York sits sprawling Castle Howard, one of the grandest homes in the British Isles. It took over 100 years to complete and is a day trip in and of itself as we found out (pack a lunch if you go). Fans of British television and films will be interested to know that this stately home was the setting for the fictional Brideshead in ‘Brideshead Revisited’ and other screen adaptations of Evelyn Waugh’s popular novel. One of the most intriguing places we have visited on our travels is Fountains Abbey, also in North Yorkshire near the town of Ripon. Fans of Downton Abbey, which is now finishing its final season on PBS, will recognize Ripon as the very real community sometimes visited or referred to in the fictional television series. Set in a sweeping valley, Fountains Abbey is the largest ruined Cistercian monastery in England. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the
well-preserved ruins are within massive Studley Royal Park. It covers 323 hectares (800 acres). We walked the site with our Yorkshire friends Martin and Wendy Ireton a few years ago. A highlight is the beautiful Studley Royal Water Garden which dates from 1719. It’s one of the best surviving examples of a Georgian water garden in England. It was wonderful to see but we were tired after covering so much of the huge property on foot. I won’t get to Ireland in this column. But I’ve written extensively about the
country in recent years, including last fall after Kathy and I enjoyed yet another visit to Dublin. The Irish capital was just named the second “friendliest city in the world” following a survey. Sydney, Australia was first. I do the best I can to answer questions readers so often pose. So don’t hesitate to ask! I am also interested in your travel experiences. We can learn so much from one another. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.
UCDSB reaches agreement with ETFO local The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) reached a tentative memorandum of settlement Thursday with the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Upper Canada Teacher Local. This local settlement, when ratified by the UCDSB and the membership of the ETFO Upper Canada Teacher Local, will complete the bargaining process for elementary teachers and complements the agreement on provincial issues achieved on Nov. 2. Terms of the settlement will remain confidential until ratified by both parties. The ETFO Upper Canada Teacher Local represents 1,200 elementary teachers working in UCDSB schools. “I am happy we have reached an
agreement acceptable to all parties involved,” said director Stephen Sliwa. “This will allow the board and our teachers to move forward and focus on our students’ success.” The date and location of the union’s ratification vote will be announced shortly. Trustees will hold a ratification vote on Wednesday, Jan. 27. The UCDSB continues to negotiate with the CUPE bargaining unit representing support staff. Bargaining on local issues for this union is ongoing and the UCDSB remains optimistic that this process will be brought to a conclusion in a timely and cooperative manner. Submitted by Mark Calder, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

Average home sale price to edge higher in 2016: CREA The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has updated its forecast for home sales activity via the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems of Canadian real estate boards and associations for 2015 and 2016. Since CREA’s last forecast published in September, housing markets in British Columbia and Ontario have strengthened further. As a result, CREA has raised sales and average price forecasts for these provinces. While housing markets in other provinces have performed as expected through the autumn, prospects in 2016 for a rebound in oil
prices – and by extension, housing markets in oil producing provinces – have dimmed. Accordingly, forecast for sales activity in Alberta has been revised lower, as have forecast average prices in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador. Additionally, interest rates are now expected to begin rising later than previously expected. Now expected to remain on hold until late next year, low interest rates will continue to support sales and prices next year. Recently announced changes to mortgage regulations that take effect early next year risk cooling
housing markets beyond Greater Vancouver and the GTA, their intended targets. The forecast for national sales in 2015 has been revised higher, reflecting stronger than anticipated activity in B.C. and Ontario. National sales are now projected to rise by five per cent to 504,000 units in 2015, marking the second strongest year on record for home sales in Canada. Home sales in Ontario are projected to rise by 9.3 per cent in 2015. The increase would, in all likelihood, be higher were it not for a shortage of low rise homes available for purchase in and around the
Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The annual forecast for national average home price growth has been revised upward to $442,600 this year, representing an increase of 8.4 per cent. The upward revision reflects average price gains in British Columbia and Ontario together with a projected increase in their proportion of national sales. British Columbia will be the only province this year where average home prices rise faster (+11.5 per cent) than the national average. The rise in Ontario’s average price (+8.0 per cent) is forecast to be roughly in line with the national increase. In 2016, national sales are fore-
cast to reach 498,600, down 1.1 per cent from 2015 as activity in B.C. and Ontario moderates and housing market conditions soften in Alberta. The national average price is forecast to edge higher by 1.4 per cent to $448,700 in 2016. Price gains in 2016 are forecast to be strongest in Ontario (+2.9 per cent) due to an ongoing shortage of listings for single-family homes coupled with strong demand for them in and around the GTA. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is one of Canada’s largest single-industry trade associations.
Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime With January being Crime Stoppers Month, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) is encouraging Canadians to be vigilant against insurance fraud. Whether opportunistic or premediated, insurance fraud is a significant issue in Canada, resulting in higher premiums for consumers and delay of services for the people in real need. “Fraud is a crime of deception,” Rick Dubin, vice-president of investigative services at IBC, stated in a
release. “When undetected, fraudulent claims are paid using the premiums of honest policyholders. Your best defence against insurance fraud is a good offence. Be educated and aware, as fraudsters can easily take advantage of unsuspecting consumers.” IBC has long advocated for legislative changes and for the courts to take these crimes more seriously through harsher penalties in order to create deterrents, and we have seen results, including Bill 15 passed last
year by the Ontario government, which amended various statutes to help reduce insurance fraud, regulate towing and storage services, and protect consumers. IBC works with insurers and law enforcement authorities to detect, deter and disrupt opportunistic and premeditated insurance fraud schemes that put public safety at risk. Recently, IBC assisted Toronto Police Services, the Canadian Border Services Agency and other law enforcement agencies to identify
over 200 high-end vehicles, worth an estimated $11 million and return them to their rightful owners. Some of the vehicles that this car theft ring is accused of stealing were allegedly reVINed, fraudulently registered and sold to unsuspecting buyers. But the majority of the vehicles were to be shipped to the lucrative markets of West Africa, with the profits of their sales most likely funding organized crime and possibly terrorist activities. “Insurance crime is big business. When they cheat, we all pay,” contin-

ued Dubin. “IBC and police services rely on help from the community to catch fraudsters. That is why we encourage people with information about insurance crime to call our anonymous TIPS Line at 1-877-IBCTIPS or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS.” IBC is the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, auto and business insurers. Its member companies make up 90% of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada.

IBC supports Crime Stoppers Month to help fight insurance crime With January being Crime Stoppers Month, Insurance Bureau of Canada is encouraging Canadians to be vigilant against insurance fraud. Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime. Whether opportunistic or premediated, insurance fraud is a significant issue in Canada resulting in higher premiums for consumers and delay of services for the people in real need. “Fraud is a crime of deception,” said Rick Dubin, vice-president of investigative services at IBC. “When undetected, fraudulent claims are paid using the premiums of honest policyholders. Your best defence against insurance fraud is a good offence. Be educated and aware, as fraudsters can easily take advantage of unsuspecting consumers.” IBC has long advocated for legislative changes and for the courts to take these crimes more seriously through harsher penalties in order to create deterrents, and we have seen results, including Bill 15 passed last year by the Ontario government, which amended various statutes to help reduce insurance fraud, regulate towing and storage services, and protect consumers. IBC works with insurers and law enforcement authorities to detect, de-

ter and disrupt opportunistic and premeditated insurance fraud schemes that put public safety at risk. Recently, IBC assisted Toronto Police Services, the Canadian Border Services Agency and other law enforcement agencies to identify more than 200 high-end vehicles, worth an estimated $11 million and return them to their rightful owners. Some of the vehicles that this car theft ring is accused of stealing were allegedly re-VINed, fraudulently registered and sold to unsuspecting buyers. But the majority of the vehicles were to be shipped to the lucrative markets of West Africa, with the profits of their sales most likely funding organized crime and possibly terrorist activities. “Insurance crime is big business. When they cheat, we all pay,” continued Dubin. “IBC and police services rely on help from the community to catch fraudsters. That is why we encourage people with information about insurance crime to call our anonymous TIPS Line at 1-877-IBC-TIPS or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.” Submitted by the Insurance Bureau of Canada

great movie. It’s hard to say if Ice Cube is acting or just being himself, but he does do a decent angry cop. Kevin Jeong is one of the few people who can keep up with Kevin Hart. Olivia Munn scores a laugh or two, and Benjamin Bratt gives the film’s villain his own brand of comedic flair. On the whole it’s a decent cast, they just needed a better movie to be in. The one thing that almost makes this film worth going to see is Kevin Hart. He’s so funny and so quick he’s like comedic lightning. I’ll see anything he does I just wish I had waited for the DVD. Ride Along 2 isn’t great, but if it’s the worst film I see this year then it’ll be a pretty good year. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
something big, and all roads lead to businessman Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt). With help from local detective Maya (Olivia Munn) Ben and James decide to take down Miami’s top crime boss. Ride Along 2 isn’t as dumb as I thought it would be. I’m not saying it’s a good movie, but it is mindless and inoffensively entertaining, and sometimes that’s what you’re looking for.

MOVIE: Ride Along 2 STARRING: Kevin Hart, Ice Cube, Olivia Munn, Ken Jeong, Tika Sumpter, and Benjamin Bratt DIRECTOR: Tim Story RATING: PG I missed the first Ride Along so I was a little concerned I might be a little lost in Ride Along 2. It wasn’t an issue. With his wedding to Angela (Tika Sumpter) just on the horizon, and in his new job as a probationary police officer Ben Barber’s (Kevin Hart) life is almost perfect. Ben really wants to be a detective even though he’s barely out of the academy. If only he could prove himself to his future brother-inlaw, detective James Payton (Ice Cube). Sure enough an opportunity comes along when James has to go to Miami to track down a person of interest. Ben begs to go. James says no. Angela asks James to take Ben, but James still says no. Then James figures this is just what Ben needs to realize he isn’t cut out to be a detective. The brothers-in-law (their joke not mine) head to Miami to find computer hacker A.J. (Ken Jeong). Finding him isn’t too hard, but not long after they find him someone tries to kill them all. It seems Ben and James have stumbled into

Anecdotes, stories, pictures sought for Stewart Park Festival souvenir book Well, winter has finally found us and managed to remind us of the freezing temperatures, shovelling, multiple cleanings of snow off our cars when trying get around and the need to remember how to drive in the white stuff. Happy new year to all my readers, their families and loved ones; especially, happy 200th anniversary to the Town of Perth. It’s remarkable to think of the town celebrating 200 when Canada’s 150th isn’t until next year. There are lots of things planned to help us commemorate over the coming year. I look forward to celebrating our quaint, historic burg. In fact, Stewart Park Festival has just announced they are adding a special, commemorative Thursday, July 14 evening show featuring music, dance and drama, in partnership with other organizations to honour our town’s past. My Christmas holiday season doesn’t end until the Junior World Hockey Championship is finalized and the Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra’s (BSCFO) Little Christmas concert at Maberly Hall occurs. I enjoy this concert every year and was delighted to attend the 16th annual edition recently. Many
thanks go to the Blue Skies – In the Community Program, for helping to fund such a multigenerational learning experience for so many. Thanks also goes to their conductor of six years, Cindy McCall, for encouraging, instructing and exposing the group to new Canadian contemporary fiddle tunes for our listening pleasure. One couldn’t write about this group and not also recognize their founder and long-time previous conductor, Carolyn Stewart for having the vision and laid the foundation for such a successful community group. This past summer saw the BSCFO realize their goal of raising $30,000 to allow them to travel to PEI to attend the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival, where they played five shows in seven days in and around that area, in all kinds of typical east coast weather. A major accompaniment, whose generated stories will be recanted for a very long time. One has to only hear and witness the Blue Skies “Prep” Orchestra, a group of beginner fiddlers who have met weekly for only 11 sessions to be impressed. Made up of young and old, all doing their best to pull the bow in a melodic way, it helps us re-
alize the good work being done. Oh, there were a few squeaks, but very few actually. The previous Celtic Fiddle Orchestra has been renamed the Lanarky Fiddlers Guild, a group of more accomplished players who focus on diverse arrangements to preserve and enrich the fiddling heritage of their community. A youth emsemble entitled – The Unspoken Rests – also entertained, their fun of playing evident. As the program states “The young and young at heart learn to read music and play in harmony. Lifelong friendships and good memories are made.” Once you’ve witnessed one of their concerts, you too will see how true this is. I was sad to hear wonderful jazz pianist Clay Young, who’s been organizing and playing in the Atrium of Code’s Mill for Fiddlehead’s Sunday brunches for the past 16 years will now only be playing for special functions there. Clay brought some
lovely players to join him over the years that added such a nice touch to that historic space. Hearing Clay in that space was always a highlight for my folks, when visiting. It was one of Perth’s musical genre’s that will be truly missed. Thanks goes out to Clay for all his years of helping bring quality jazz players and their music to our town. Clay happened to stop by the Golden Arrow to meet his old friend, drummer Brian Downey. Turns out they played six nights a week for at least five years together at the Holiday Inn in Ottawa in a large band. Oh, how the live music world has changed. Your help is needed. John
McKenty, Ralph Willsey and I are working on a festival souvenir book to commemorate the past 25 years of Stewart Park Festival. We need you to send us written anecdotes and stories as well as scanned, memorable pictures (especially of the early years) to best capture our past. Please send any anecdotes, stories, and /or pictures you can scan (or let us help you with that, if need be), to me, via my email – ferdburphyll@gmail.com. Anecdotes and stories may be edited due to space availability. Please, also send your phone number, in case we need to contact you. After 25 years of sitting in your lawn chair with friends and family around you, taking in all
the festival has to offer, surely you have some memories worth sharing. I’m pleased to announce that O’Reilly’s Ale House in Perth are kicking off, what they hope to be, a monthly, Sunday Evening Concert Series that will be “listening” shows. Attendees will pay a cover charge, order dinner beforehand, if desired, and be able to really listen to a quality line-up of musicians still being worked on, in an ambience without the screens on or chatter… just wonderful live music.

Cassie is bright and intelligent, highly observant and displays amazing leash skills. She now just needs the right person in her life who can work with her to help build the confidence and social skills she was withheld during the early part of her life. If you like to give this amazing dog a chance please contact the dog attendant at LAWS to make an appointment.
Controlling his diet food intake and exercise would help him reaching that goal. Please meet Mr. Big, he’s worth the trip to LAWS. Cassie Cassie is a beautiful 2.5-yearold Rottweiler-mix who needs love and gentle guidance by an experienced master at this time. Still surprisingly timid and shy, she may not be at ease with children or other animals at this time. Serious adopters might have to visit Cassie several times before she feels safe and comfortable. She has been sent on some training and passed the course. The dog staff can tell you more about that.

Cheddar and Chippy Are you looking for two cats? Do we have a fine-looking super friendly pair for you! Please come and meet Cheddar and Chippy who recently arrived at LAWS after their owner had to move into a retirement home. These two boys are very fond of each other as they’ve been living together for some time. They had a very loving life and it shows. They’re healthy and in very good shape. Both cats love to roll over in anticipation to receive belly rubs. Chippy’s fur is solid grey and he has stunning green eyes. Cheddar is an orange tabby with special markings on his sweet nose. It’s always sad when pets have to be surrendered when the owners move into a place where no pets are allowed. It’s our sincere wish that Cheddar and Chippy will continue to live together in their next forever home. Please come and meet these two lovable boys, you’ll be falling in love instantly with them, for sure.
LAWS several years ago with his sister Regina. They both seemed to have had a pretty good life with access to lots of food. Unfortunately they came back to LAWS due to the owners’ move elsewhere with no possibility to take the cats. Meanwhile Mr. Big’s sister Regina has already found a new home. Mr. Big is missing her and has been a little unsure about the situation. He wishes a new home would be available for him soon. Living with other cats would be fine. He’s a fullfigured cat who could benefit from shedding a few pounds.
Wish list LAWS is currently in need of the following items: Bleach, HE laundry detergent, non-clumping cat litter, mop heads and Martingales (dog collars), canned kitten food, any brand name, Hills Science dry cat and dog food.

My position is that I should pay for two tires and the insurer should buy the other two. In talking with them I have emphasized the safety angle in that they are putting me in an unsafe position. They said they will consider my position if I can provide any evidence to support my contention. Can you help? Do you have any information or are you aware of any research which would support my argument? Thanks for your assistance. P” Thanks for the kind comments. First you can still follow your favourite local news source online at one of two websites; www.issuu.com/perthcourier will give you a page by page version just like the printed one and www.insideottawavalley.com/ottawavalley will give you a more traditional website display. As to the tires, you won’t likely get your insurance company to foot the entire bill for an extra one. As tires are wearable, insurance firms always
apply a betterment (or insurance-client cost split) to any tire required as a result of a claim (no exceptions in my 40 years experience – even on low mileage tires). Their legal mandate is to return your property to its previous condition only and supplying a new tire would be an improvement in their terms, so very little chance of that happening without you paying a portion. Realistically, at 75,000 km, you should be replacing all four as you’ve pretty much gotten the normal average lifespan out of them anyway. In winter time no one should be driving on one new tire with three worn ones and your insurance rep is just being polite, (in my opinion) in saying they will consider the request. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ in the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Above, the Pagani Huayra sports car is a big draw at the Montreal Auto Show. Below, this ultra sports unit is powered by a 730 hp twin-turbocharged V12 engine and will set you back around $2.2 million. R0013652494_0121
The auto show season has started anew for 2016 with the grand kickoff at the Palais de Congrès in Montreal. It runs from Jan. 15 to the 24 and is well worth the trip. I attended the press day on Jan. 14 and while the large US show held in Detroit (at the same time) had a few more surprises and reveals, the Montreal event wasn’t to be outdone. First a little background. The year 2015 was a good one for the auto industry in Canada with a 2.5 per cent increase in sales over 2014. With plummeting fuel prices, light trucks took an even larger slice of the pie; 62.3 per cent compared to 58.7 per cent in 2014. Even Volkswagen with all its emission troubles saw both an increase in raw sales between 2014 and 2015 and a bump in market share (sales up 7.1 per cent and market share rose from 3.5 per cent to 3.7 per cent). While the Detroit Three saw a slight drop in market share at the hands of the offshore makers (down to 44.0 per cent from 44.9 per cent in 2014), FCA (Fiat Chrysler Auto) won the market share crown in Canada for the first time with 15.4 per cent (thanks largely to Ram trucks and Jeep). These numbers were courtesy of Desrosiers Automotive Consultants. You can check your favourite brand’s scores every month at www.desrosiers.ca under the ‘monthly sales report’ tab. Pretty much every carmaker that sells products in Canada is represented at the Montreal show with current as well as new models and more than a few concept autos. As this region has a real taste for high-end and more exotic wheels, you can drool over such makes as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren and more. The most expensive vehicle at the show was a hand-built work of art called the Pagani Huayra. This ultra sports unit is powered by a 730 hp twin-turbocharged V12 engine and will set you back around $2.2 million. You can check out more of the show at www.montrealautoshow.com. I’ll cover more of the show’s newer products and reveals in upcoming columns if time permits; your letters and questions always come first! “Hello Brian: I have been reading your articles in the Perth Courier/EMC for the last 12 years with great interest. You have also been a guest on Lake 88 “All about the House” show as well. Unfortunately, we can no longer read your column since upon retirement we moved out of the region. Here is my dilemma. I was involved in a car accident over the holidays for which I was found not to be at fault. Part of the damage was a shredded tire. The insurance company is saying they will replace it, but only one tire. My understanding is that you need to replace at least two tires to match the tread pattern and wear to be safe. It is also preferred that you replace all four tires. In this case the tires have 75,000km on them.

R0013645154_0114
Evening in October is a spooky Carleton Place tradition! If you love ghost stories or tales of local murder and mayhem, you won’t want to miss it. Last year a mock funeral was held; an off-the-wall way to teach about how our ancestors dealt with death and dying. The museum’s walking tours will return in the summer of 2016. These interactive, often irreverent walks take participants through town to learn local history, often involving crazy hats, prizes and food! Themes for 2016 include the Lake Avenue Liar’s Tour. Traditional history walks are also offered twice weekly throughout the summer months. Thanks must be given to the museum’s dedicated volunteers, visitors and donors. Support from the Town of Carleton Place, Township of Beckwith and Young Canada Works is gratefully acknowledged.
Dr. Woodhouse is a family physician joining us from Cape Breton, NS. All patients welcome. Priority will be given to patients without a family doctor. Dr. Woodhouse is looking forward to collaborating with you to achieve your health and wellness goals. 28 St John Street, Merrickville, Ontario 613-269-2970

St. Michael Catholic High School raising funds to build well in Africa jwestendorp@metroland.com
It’s a two-fold initiative to make a global impact and raise awareness about an important issue. St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville is trying to raise money to build a well in Africa. The goal is to raise between $5,000 and $7,000 – currently the school has raised $1,300. “This is part of our social justice programming,” explained Fred Bortolussi, history teacher at St. Mike’s. “It coincides with our board’s motto – Ignite the Light; Wake Up the World,” said Dawn Finnegan, vice principal. “It’s about encouraging students to get involved.” The initiative snowballed following the screening of ‘Return to Ryan’s Well,’ the new documentary released by the Ryan’s Well Foundation, at the school back in December. Ryan Hreljac, the inspiration for Ryan’s Well and Project Manager for the foundation, spoke to the students following the film. “Ryan did a Q&A with the kids and he was very engaging,” said Bortolussi. The social justice program at St. Mike’s encompasses a large portion of the student body, either through direct involvement or participation. “The documentary hit a nerve with the kids here,” said Finnegan. The school is collecting monetary donations for the well. A replica of Ryan’s Well has
been crafted by the construction technology students at the school and holds a donation box. The replica is housed in the foyer of the school and members of the public are welcome to drop by during school hours to make a contribution. The school is also selling reusable water bottles that read ‘If you cannot be the well, be the drop,’ for $10 each, with proceeds going towards the well. “Our hope is to partner with the community, sports teams and businesses,” said Finnegan. “It would be wonderful to have some local teams come in here and buy bottles for their players and business owners buy some for their staff.” Other fundraising ideas for the well are underway, including a casual day at the school, where students pay money to wear clothes other than the St. Mike’s uniform. “We’ve sold more than half the Submitted photo bottles we ordered already, but Following the screening of the documentary ‘Return to Ryan’s Well,’ Ryan Hreljac answered questions from we’d like to order more to sell,” said students at St. Michael Catholic High School. The movie and talk inspired students to raise funds for a well Finnegan. in Africa.

A chance to have fun and raise funds for childhood cancer. The Neon Golf Tournament in support of the Kemptville Neon Night Fun Run for Childhood Cancer is seeking sponsors. “Basically, at this point, we are trying to get the word out,” said Brenda Burich, cochair of the tournament. The tournament, with all proceeds being donated to the Neon Night Run fundraiser, is being held at the Nationview Golf Course in South Mountain on June 25. In 2015, the Neon Night Run brought in $51,755 for childhood cancer (Canadian Cancer Society). “With the kids in mind, we are encouraging the golfers to come out sporting their
neon at the tournament,” said Burich. She said the tournament is in need of hole sponsors to help make the event a success. “As well as items for the silent and live auctions,” she said. To sponsor a hole, contact Lyall Jollota, co-chair, by emailing lyall_neonnight@bell. net or calling (613)-979-3554. The event is also in need of volunteers to help with various aspects of the tournament, including obtaining sponsors and items for the live and silent auction. They’re also in need of a treasurer. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Burich by calling (613)-258-9852. “We decided at the end of last year’s Neon Night Run that we wanted to do something supplementary to add funds. We started brainstorming in the fall. Lyall has been spearheading the tournament. We met with Nationview back in October to get the ball
rolling.” She hopes people will mark June 25 on their calendars as a day to spend on the golf course, raising funds and awareness for an important cause. “We want people to start thinking about getting their foursome together for the tournament, which also includes a dinner,” she said. “There will be a lot of fun things going on that day at different holes.” The cost is $80 per person which will include golf, dinner and a live/silent auction. Golf carts can be arranged directly with Nationview at a cost of $15 per person. If you would like to find out more about this event, you can visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/neongolfkemptville. The registration form will be posted shortly. The Kemptville Neon Night Fun Run for Childhood Cancer will be held on Sept. 24, 2016.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

The consent authority for the zoning bylaw amendment is the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, which received a number of letters of objections from
ments. “The municipality would have to hire external planners to represent them; pay them whatever the cost would be,” said Mosher, at the meeting. “There’s also the chance Mr. Simpson could come back at council for this, for the costs that he is out.” Furthermore, Forbes Symon, Director of Planning
and Development, said the total cost could be between $10,000 and $15,000 for the municipality. The resolution to recommend the bylaws to council was not carried, by a vote of three to one. The final vote on the matter took place Oct. 26, with a unanimous vote to not permit the zoning amendments for 204 Asa Street.

Open house at Ferguson Forest Education and Activity Center Jan. 27 The municipality of North Grenville is very fortunate to have Ferguson Forest as an integral part of the community. The Forest is composed of municipally leased and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry lands with many kilometers of well-maintained, multi-purpose trails. The forest is home to an abundant variety of wildlife, including rabbits, deer, porcupines, foxes, squirrels, skunks, snakes, frogs, many species of birds, and much more. The many acres of forested trail
support a number of varied activities for community residents and visitors alike. However, the time has come to improve upon this wonderful gift nature has given us. The Board of Directors of the Ferguson Forest Center Corporation wish to create an integrated education and activity center that links the existing Turtle Trail, Anniversary Park, and Arboretum. This Center would improve upon what currently exists and would be for public use and enjoyment.
It will showcase regional native plants in an educational milieu that highlights their form, function and habitat. It will also support recreational activities for all ages. To this end, a committee has been formed to develop a plan for the Center, with the associated costs, to support a request for funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The staff of the Ferguson Forest Center has already done a great deal of work in the designated area but there is still much more to be done
and for this reason Trillium funding is necessary. The committee has generated ideas for the area such as wheel chair access from Anniversary Park to the sugar maple grove, wildflower/butterfly areas, native plant gardens, a meditation area, bird sanctuary, and running track with exercise stations. The committee wishes to seek input from the community, since the Center is for your enjoyment. Therefore, an open house will be held at the Ferguson Forest Center Office on Wednesday, 27 January
from 2 to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and receive an update on the plan and provide your input. If this is not feasible you may email your ideas to Carl Doucette at ca.doucette@cogeco.ca. The committee’s mandate has the support of the Friends of the Forest and will also require the support of the municipality and the community since the area is designated for the use and enjoyment of the North Grenville residents and visitors. We look forward to seeing you on the 27th. Submitted by the Sally Hamilton

Historical significance of Ottawa Valley presented to NGHS by archaeologist André Miller on Jan. 13 jwestendorp@metroland.com
The Ottawa Valley is a cornucopia of history. André Miller, archaeologist and president of the Ottawa Chapter of the Ontario Archaeological Society, delivered a presentation titled ‘Where the Past Meets the Present’ to the North Grenville Historical Society on Jan. 13. “The question – what is archaeology?” he began. “It’s not finding treasure. It’s not looting. Archaeology is much more complex than that – you have to start with an idea, especially in North America. We’re doing the new archaeology and it’s related to the behaviour of people – it’s not the object, but how the object was used by the people at that time.” He explained the pre-contact periods of time in the Ottawa Valley can be broken down into archaic (no ceramics), Early Woodland (1,000 BC – 400 BC), Middle Woodland (400 BC – AD 500) and Late Woodland (AD 500 – AD 1650). These time periods are identified through the typology of ceramics and lithic (stone tools) found at various archaeological sites. “Ceramics are very well observed in terms of culture through time,” said Miller. He said the same typology of ceramics can be found from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Great lakes. “After that, there is different cultures with different typology, different ceramics,” he said. He said the culture between Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River had some influence from the North, East and West. “In 1613 to 1900, the historic period, by the time of European contact, the Algonquin had been well established throughout the Ottawa Valley,” said Miller.
He said the Algonquin were direct descendants of the Late Woodland (pre-contact) people and continued to have a seminomadic, seasonal way of life, including hunting, fishing and trapping. “So the cultural area we are in is the cultural area of the Algonquin. And southern to this region, what we call ‘the land between,’ there is the Iroquois.” He said the Algonquin exchanged with the Iroquois, but the cultures remained very different despite the interactions. He explained the Algonquin set up camps around lakes and rivers to fish, whereas Iroquois lived in established villages in New York State. “That’s why we can find, between these people, things they have exchanged,” he said. He said the greatest technological advancement was fire. “The use of fire in cultures has developed technology in many ways. If we have computers today, or smart phones, it’s because of the heat we can reach to put all the things together. That was same for the Algonquin.” He explained the improvement in quality of ceramics was due to increased control of heat and generational development of methods to create things like pots to store and cook food and water. He said the common method of cooking the ceramics was burying the pots and building a fire atop them. “About 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, imagine all the area was about 400 to 500 feet under water, everywhere in the valley,” he said. “All the Ottawa Valley was filled with salt water (Champlain Sea) after the glacier melted.” He explained the weight of the glacier on the earth pushed down the crust, then the glacier melted rapidly into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the interior of the land was lower than the ocean, which

flooded into the valley. “The remnant of the Champlain Sea is Champlain Lake. The Ottawa Valley, because of this geomorphological structure, helped the ocean enter the valley.” He said following the glacial melt, the land bumped back up and the water flowed back into the ocean. “The Ottawa River was a river under the glacier at this time.” He explained there are 237 known historical sites in the Ottawa Valley, including Papineau, Wakefield and Gatineau. “If I include the ones in Ontario, this number here could double,” he said. “But, of all those sites, there’s only a few that have been excavated – probably about 15 sites that have been excavated. We only dig up a portion of the site; never completely.” He said it was mostly women who made the ceramics. “And the tradition was between them.” Various implements were used to adorn the ceramics, including shells. “They were coil manufacturing pottery with colorless rims. The ceramic they were making – they were using clay, adding sand and making coil. Then with the coil, they’re turning the coil together and they assemble the coil, put it up, and starting their Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND pot.” He said this method is known Examples of ceramics from the (from left) Early Middle Woodbecause archaeologists have land, Late Middle Woodland and Late Woodland periods.
found coil in shards (pieces of pottery). “Those stylistic variations bring up a lot of analysis.” The NGHS will be holding their Annual General Meeting, with a speaker discussing genealogy and DNA testing, on Feb. 10 at the Kemptville Courthouse, located at 15 Water Street. Brief biography Miller holds a BA in Anthropology with a specialization in archaeology, Master’s Degree in Anthropology and a Digital Information Management Certificate from Université de Montreal. He also has an MA in Archaeology from Université Laval. His most recent Master’s thesis concerns the stylistic variability of Middle Woodland ceramics from the Ottawa Valley. This study contributes to a better understanding of the Period by the use of statistical methods in archaeology, and has helped to develop good record keeping practices in archaeological collections management. Miller also has significant experience over the past 12 years in archaeology, including more than three years lab work and eight months focused on Ontario sites and collections research. He recently worked between 2010 and 2013 in Parc National de Plaisance, Quebec, where he was one of two archaeologists in charge of various aspects of the project.

Snow pant battle
eing a mother is about fighting a neverending battle of wills. This morning my oldest son woke up in a bad mood because he didn’t get enough sleep. He likes to procrastinate at bedtime. I tell him to brush his teeth, he says ‘just a minute, I’m doing something.’ Ten minutes later, I tell him again to go brush his teeth. ‘I’m busy mom,’ is the response I get. Then I chase him into the bathroom growling like a bear. He laughs. Apparently I lost my scary edge years ago. I watch as he slowly, meticulously hunts for his toothbrush, which is directly in front of his face. Then he must pick a flavour of toothpaste. Then he takes his dear sweet time putting toothpaste on the brush, moving the bristles in a circular pattern, rinsing his mouth and so on. Then he’s thirsty. Then he has to go put something away he forgot about. Finally, 20 minutes later, he asks for a story. I can’t say no to his insanely adorable face – especially when it comes to story time. So a few chapters later, he’s all ready for bed. Except he must use the bathroom and he’s thirsty again. All in all, from the first demand to get ready for bed, it takes roughly 40 minutes to get him settled in for sleep. So he was a little grouchy because bedtime was delayed from the night before, as it often is, and waking up at 7:45 a.m. is too early in his mind. After his initial ‘leave me alone mom, I’m tired,’ his mood seems to brighten. He eats breakfast, watches a show and packs his lunch as per usual. No arguments or delays. I ask him to get his outside stuff on as we

’ll bet that is one of the world’s first book launches that involved a newborn lamb. Many thanks to Zachary and Kirstan Bennett for letting us borrow their wee one for part of Saturday. He was quite an attraction and stole the show more than a few times. I also think he deserves credit for selling a few books. When I arrived at Rooney Feeds Saturday morning, the lamb was happily curled up in a ball at the end of its trough-bed, in a blanket. The resident cat at the store, Peanut Butter, was struggling with conflicting emotions of curiosity and disgust at the new smells in the room. Everything was fine until the lamb demonstrated his ability to leap out of his confines and roam around the room. Peanut Butter leapt to safety on the store counter, craning his neck around the corner to see the lamb as it explored its surroundings. As the lamb bumped its nose into the reflection in the glass showcase, Peanut Butter nearly fell off his perch. Slightly humiliated, he decided to go outside for a while to get away from the little attention-stealer. There was a steady flow of

are getting close to leaving time. ‘I’m not wearing snow pants today. There is no snow on the ground,’ he says. I look at him, as I struggle to stuff one of the twins into their coat, boots, mitts and hat, and tell him just because there’s no snow doesn’t mean it’s not cold out. ‘The teacher won’t let you go outside for recess if you’re not dressed properly.’ I always try to reason away his absurd arguments before they are blown out of proportion. ‘My teacher said we don’t have to wear snow pants if we don’t want to. And I don’t want to,’ he responds. I look at him, still struggling to dress one of two toddlers, and tell him to put on his snow pants. ‘No. I don’t have to if I don’t want to.’ Actually, son, you do have to. Or I’ll make sure you don’t get to go out for recess today. He opens his mouth to continue arguing about not wearing snow pants in -10 degree weather, but I’ve had enough at this point and whip out my mom voice. He is clearly annoyed with me, but does as he is told. Tomorrow there will be a new battle to fight, over socks or something equally ridiculous. But that’s what kids do – they push boundaries, but must never be allowed to break them.

people through the store, some on regular farm business and some had specifically come to get a book. At the end of three hours, I had had six cups of coffee, far too many Timbits, and I had sold twenty-two books. Not bad for a first book launch event, in a feed store. In January, during freezing rain. Audrey said it was a quiet time of year, because most things are in the freezer now, their heads cut off. Huh?? “The animals,” she said. “They’re in the freezer. The farmers don’t come to the feed store when the animals are in the freezer.” Oh. I get it. Mini heart attack there for a moment. Well we did pretty well despite the slow season, as far as I’m concerned. The best part of hanging around
the feed store is the stories you hear from the farmers. Audrey and Quinlan share the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows with all of their customers, and get to know them well. They know who had to put a horse down, and whose sheep just had quadruplets. They don’t just sell feed in that store. They educate new customers – city folk turned farmers – on how to feed their new animals. They share stories of trial and error, success and mistakes, so that we can all learn from each other. The food store is the hub of the farm community. For the rest of this mild wintry weekend we stuffed the dogs’ houses with fresh hay and watched as they snuggled in for long afternoon naps. I chopped up some apples and fed them to the cows as they socialized around the hay bales. Mocha swipes the apple sections with her long sandpaper tongue wrapped around my wrist, leaving a rash-like mark. Betty is also greedy with her grabbing. Ginger has just become brave enough to eat from my hand in recent months. She is very gentle with her nibble. But the softest, most timid and polite bite of all is from Dono, the big bull. Normally
I stand with a gate between us and toss him the apples. Today I fed him by hand. I had Betty to protect me if he decided to charge. He was very tame with his previous owners and he is very well-treated here so he should be fine but, you know what they say. Never turn your back on a bull. Gina still shows no sign of ‘bagging up’, preparing an udder for an impending birth. Once again, the first cow to give birth will likely be a surprise. We don’t have any expectant heifers this year so everyone is experienced and, theoretically, it should be an easy calving season on the farm. My bet is on Betty to go first. She
is off by herself while everyone else is eating, lying in the straw, staring off toward the snow-covered meadow, chewing her cud. She probably misses the long walks she takes in the warmer months, sampling different clovers and grasses in every field. With ice under foot and snowdrifts to navigate, everyone moves a little more slowly this time of year. She stands up, does a strange yoga move to stretch, and takes a wander along the well-beaten path around the barnyard. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

The Accidental Farmwife
Diana Leeson Fisher, also known as the Accidental Farmwife, was at Rooney Feeds in Kemptville on Saturday, Jan. 16 to hold a book signing of her new book called the Accidental Farmwife. Dianna Kirkpatrick of Kemptville bought a copy while Fisher and the one-week old lamb shared a moment.
GARDENER’S CORNER
Saving on Seeds I was in the hardware store the other day picking up a few things when I noticed the new seed racks were now on display. For the better part of twenty minutes I thumbed through old favourites and new offerings. Seed packet prices have increased slightly but I was really pleased to see a wider selection this year. More heritage seeds, more Asian vegetables and new flower varieties. I found myself standing there mentally planning out this spring’s garden. A young lady broke the spell when she asked if I needed help finding anything. It was like waking up from a dream that you don’t want to end. I picked up the items I had originally come in for and made my way to the checkout. I sat in the van and just kept telling myself that it was still January, but the sunlight streaming through the windshield only rekindled thoughts of starting seeds for the spring. Of course it’s still early days and I am guilty of trying to jump start the season in years past. One year I started tomato seeds the first week of February. By mid April I had transplanted the seedlings twice and had very leggy plants that never saw the final move into the garden. But there are things you can do now to get that gardening fix. Get things organized. Buy your seeds soon, while selection is best. Find a good quality seeding soil mix. Seeding mix is much finer than a general potting mix and allows for better water and oxygen

distribution. Invest in a bag of vermiculite. When you do start your seeds, a thin coating of vermiculite will greatly reduce the likelihood of “damping off”, a surface fungus that chokes new seedlings. If you are using last year’s seed trays, give them a good scrubbing with hot soapy water and rinse with a mild bleach or vinegar solution. I’ve given up on using seed trays. I’ve found a frugal method that works very well for us. I written about it before but will repeat it for folks like me that can’t remember where they left their keys. I use cardboard toilet tubes that are cut in half. I tried peat pots a few years ago with little success. I fill the tubes with moistened seeding mix and slightly compress the soil. Sow the seeds and cover to the depth recommended on the package and top dress with the vermiculite. If seeds require light to germinate, sprinkle the seeds on top of the vermiculite and moisten. I place the seeded tubes in mini greenhouses. These greenhouses are the large platters that one gets when they buy sandwich, fruit,or veggie assortments for an event. They always come with a clear plastic dome. The toilet paper tubes transplant into the garden with minimal root shock. Sure works for lupins! Save your toilet paper tubes, save your mini greenhouses and save your money. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com
The North Grenville Community Service Council, (NGCSC) wishes to thank all those who made Christmas possible for many in our community, including the Knights of Columbus who provide for so many families during the year, but especially at Christmas. Many have sent thanks and hugs to them and the elves that stopped by with hampers and gifts for the children. The NGCSC would also like to extend thanks to the continued support from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 212, the Kemptville Kinsmen, the Rotary, the Lions Club, the Knights of Columbus, the Kemptville Animal Hospital (who have trimmed pets nails and collected funds and food since 2013 for families), Beking Eggs, B&H Grocer, Giant Tiger, Shoppers Drug Mart and so many others who help with discounts and gifts for teens. Thanks goes out to Canadian Tire Staff, KBC Staff, MNR employees, O’Farrell Financial Staff, Gale Real Estate, Joanne Huel & family and Craig Gerlach, the President Current Systems – each of whom sponsored a special needs family. A total of 74 adults were provided food hampers, along with 47 families with 98 children. The NGCSC also had nine special needs referrals. North Grenville Community Service Council members helped the Knights of Columbus organize the gift side of their Christmas hampers and they in
turn provide food hampers for those who applied. Together we accept applicants from the House of Lazarus who live in North Grenville. A family is never turned away. I was not hands-on this year leaving it to others. I provided help getting information from each family sent to the Knights of Columbus, making lists of items needed and sending them to Mike Blais, who put the information on angel tags for members at Holy Cross to choose from. I arranged help for special needs families dealing with more than they could handle by arranging a special angel for them to relieve a bit of the holiday stress and making dreams come true for a child. NGCSC provided funding for gift purchases not donated with help from volunteers like Monique Larabie, Judy Littau, Mary Boucher, Adonica Brown, Cathy Keeley and many other volunteers who checked all items made sure it went to the child chosen in tag. Many items that were needed to complete child’s wish were found by volunteers who shopped for nearly 50 kids, put in weeks of work and got it all done in time for Christmas. The gifts and hampers were picked up by the Knights of Columbus on Dec. 19 and delivered on Dec. 21. When all is said and done, all the families had a great Christmas thanks to all those who do this.

McQUAY
Barry Russell
January 8, 1946January 10, 2016 With mingled sorrow and joy we announce the safe passing of Barry McQuay on Sunday, January 10, surrounded by his family, after he bravely faced a difficult experience of a complex form of cancer. Barry was husband to his soul mate Peri, proud and loving father to Morgan (Rick) and Jeremy (Karen), cherished grandfather to Liam and Natalie; dear brother to George (Barbara) and uncle to Mark, Pamela, Addison and McKenzie McQuay; Shaun, Sarah, Sophie, Isla, Macai and Lyric McQuay; Ashley, Eric and Skylar Newstead. Loving brother-in-law to Lisa Moses and uncle to Megan Conboy (Ryan, Nick, Max) and Michael Trickett.The many people whom his life touched will fondly remember him. Barry was a passionate outdoor education teacher, celebrating nature at Westport’s Foley Mountain Conservation Area where he and Peri lived and worked for 31 years. Through this work he inspired many generations of children to cherish nature and care for our environment. He always had great joy in meeting people and having long conversations. Often getting “lost” on trips into town, Barry was a rare human in today’s harried rushed world. He took the time to get to know people and to show a genuine care in their lives. Indeed, right up to his last days he took happiness from family and friends. All who knew him are richer for the experience.To paraphrase Irving Berlin, ‘Barry’s song has ended, but the melody lingers on’. The next time you are enjoying nature remember him. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Foley Mountain CA education fund or Perth Hospice Palliative Care Services would be appreciated. Special thanks to all the kind staff of CCAC and Kidd 9 for their exceptional care. A gathering in memory of Barry is planned for May at the conservation area he loved. Arrangements entrusted to Lyons Funeral Home, Westport. Online condolences available at www.lyonsfuneralhome.ca

BALLANTYNE, Herbert Roy January 21, 1921-January 27, 1991 In loving memory of our Dad and Grandfather. In a quiet country graveyard, Where the gentle breeze blows, Lies the one we love so dearly, And lost twenty five years ago. Forever remembered Maxeen and Alan, John, Norman, Herb and families
BEATTIE In memory of Bev Beattie, September 1, 1958-January 8, 2016. Forever Friends I’m glad I had a friend like you that blossomed from the start, Little did I know I was going to lose you, and break my heart. The New Year just got started, And your eyes no longer appear, God came down and called your name, And left me full of tears. Tears full of hurtfulness and feeling left alone, I no longer walk beside you, I now feel like a stone. A stone filled with heaviness and a lot of questions too, Like why He took you from me? Did He have nothing better to do. He told me He granted me our friendship, Be thankful for the time we had, I told him it wasn’t enough, It left me feeling sad. So I’ll bring down your photos as time passes by, And try to remember the twinkle in your eye. So I’ll visit your gravesite as much as I can, Cause our freindship was true and true to the end. Till we meet again my friend Love Your Buddy Sherry
BEATTY, James T. – In loving memory of a precious husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather who passed away January 24, 2013. We often sit and think about the years that have gone by. And all the happiness and joy we shared until we said goodbye. We think about you always, we reminisce about you too, We have so many wonderful memories, but all we really want is you. We think of all the laughter, the smiles and all the fun, And before we even know it the tears have begun. For although it brings us comfort to walk down memory lane, It reminds us how, without you, life has never been the same. Forever loved and sadly missed, Ruth and family

IN MEMORIAM
And a dear daughter and sister, Heather, who passed away January 29, 1985. Thirty-one sad and lonely years have passed, Since our great sorrow fell, How well we do remember, That sad and weary day. God gave us the strength to meet it, The courage to bear the blow. But what it meant to lose you Heather, No one will ever know. Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile, But they little know the heartache, Our smiles hide all the while. They say time heals all sorrows and helps you to forget, But time has only proved how much we miss you yet. Always loved and sadly missed Ian (Dad) Laurie, Scott, Fraser, Joey and Ethan

For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Pork tenderloin with fruit and nuts great for dinner party This is an elegant entrée for your next dinner party. Each slice is studded with cranberries, apples and nuts. It’s easy on the cook too – just assemble it a day ahead and roast at serving time. If you don’t have seasoned bread crumbs, season plain bread crumbs with dried Italian mixed herbs and pepper. Preparation time: 30 minutes Roasting time: 45 minutes Serves: 4
In medium saucepan or skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium-high heat until tender and browned. Stir in bread crumbs, apple, walnuts, cranberries and sage. Moisten slightly with up to 1/4 cup (50 mL) broth until mixture holds together when pressed. Season with salt, pepper and more sage to taste. Place tenderloin, smooth side down, on work surface. Press filling along length of centre third; roll meat around filling to enclose completely. Tie with string at 1-1/2-inch (7 cm) intervals. (Can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight at this point.) Place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased baking dish. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Roast in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 160°F (71°C); or until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick slices.

Deputy Clerk receives Executive Diploma in Municipal Management
Council briefs from Jan. 11 jwestendorp@metroland.com
Council switches to paperless agendas “Council began using paperless agendas back at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Dec. 21,” said Cahl Pominville, Clerk. “This will certainly recognize, in 2016, a cost savings for paper and copying charges, as well as staff time. As soon as we have a template, the resolutions that council or the committee are discussing will be put up (projected) on the screen behind you, for anyone in the audience to see and follow. Also, the agenda and reports continue to be posted on our new website, and if someone in the audience or viewing on Cogeco can follow the meeting on your laptop, tablet or phone. So these are continuing ways council has given direction to staff, to create a more open and transparent system and get more information to the public.” iPad’s were purchased by the municipality for each municipal director and member of council to be used in
Fire Chief discusses ice safety “It has been noted that we’ve had mild weather,” said Fire Chief Paul Hutt. “As well with the heavy rain, I just wanted to talk a little bit about ice safety. When we talk about ice safety we’re talking about good, strong ice and that’s normally black and clear. White snow is normally layers of snow on ice and it insulates the ice, which prevents it from freezing. If it’s two inches or less, there should be nobody on the ice – it’s only recommended when the ice is strong at four inches that you can start to ice fish. At five inches, that’s when a snowmobile or an ATV can safely use the ice. Small vehicles, that’s between eight and twelve inches. A medium truck shouldn’t go on the ice unless it’s 12 to 15 inches. As of now, you should be cautious and certainly parents of kids who live around, not only the river, but also municipal drains or ditches with significant water. There are variables, so this is just a guideline. If there is moving water that obviously impacts as well.” He said if any member of the public has any concerns or questions about ice safety, they should contact the North Grenville Fire Service by calling (613)-258-2438. Port Hope resolution supported Council passed a resolution in support of a resolution passed by the Municipality of Port Hope to request the Provincial Government to prohibit incineration and related means of waste disposal, including energy from waste facilities. The resolution was passed unanimously.

Do You Really Need An Antibiotic? What would it be like living in a world without antibiotics, where a simple infection could kill you? It could happen, as increasing numbers of bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. But there are ways to bypass antibiotics so this frightening scenario doesn’t occur. One herbal remedy, recently imported from Europe, can help to end the remark, “We know where you’re going!” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reports 440,000 Americans are sickened every year due to eat- Dr. Gifford-Jones ing or handling food contaminated with resistant bacteria. At least 2,000 of these people die from the infection. And over half of the antibiotics used are prescribed inappropriately! In Canada, Public Health Authorities report that about 25 percent of Salmonella infections are resistant to antibiotics. It’s shocking that some super bugs outlive nine different antibiotics! So what can doctors, and the rest of us, do to decrease antibiotic resistance? According to one study 20 percent of people who received a prescription antibiotic asked for it. It’s often a foolish request for a cold, sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis, ear infection and the flu, which are due to viral not bacterial infection. It’s a waste of money because viral infections do not respond to antibiotics. How many are aware that more than half the antibiotics used by humans are also fed to animals? Unbelievably, Health Canada allows antibiotics used for serious infections in humans to be sold “without a prescription for use in chickens, beef cattle and other animals”! The more antibiotics consumed, the greater the risk that bacterial resistance will occur. Fortunately, some food chains are now serving poultry never given antibiotics. But it’s a hard sell to convince farmers to include cows and pigs. Why? Because they are more valuable, live longer and have to remain healthier longer. Never forget that more frequent hand-washing with soap and water could significantly decrease infectious disease and reduce the need for antibiotics. However, authorities agree that the use of bacteria-fighting hand cleansers make sense in hospitals, but not in homes. Barbara Murray, former president of the Infectious Disease Society of America told a U.S. House of Representatives Committee, “This summer I cared for two patients with diabetes and urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to a highly resistant strain of E Coli. Both had to be admitted to hospital for intravenous therapy because their infections were resistant to all oral antibiotics!” She added that “probably every woman by age 60 has had at least one UTI.” Studies show that every year 30 to 50 million North American women suffer from UTIs, often due to resistant E coli bacteria. These result in repeated agonizing attacks. Now, a new natural herbal remedy, available in health food stores, called UTI E-Drops, can prevent and treat this infection. Like cranberries, they possess an anti-sticking factor that keeps E coli from adhering to the bladder wall. In addition, their antiseptic and antibacterial properties, form a protective layer on the wall of the bladder to prevent further bacterial growth. UTI E-Drops are highly absorbable, providing a low but effective dose. The usual oral dose is 40 drops added to a small amount of water three times a day. In addition, this remedy will eliminate the terror when infection causes blood in the urine. Years ago, while studying at The Harvard Medical School, I arrived home one Christmas to find my father near death due to an undiagnosed ruptured appendix. Fortunately, penicillin, a new antibiotic, was smarter than bacteria. It saved my father’s life. Fortunately, education decreases the use of antibiotics. Doctors now given an hour of instruction in the proper use of antibiotics, has decreased their use in treating upper respiratory infections by 50 percent. And inappropriate use in treatment of sinus infections and pneumonia by a whopping 70 percent! Shortly before I completed this column, I talked to a paraplegic patient who must use a catheter regularly to empty her bladder. This resulted in repeated infections in spite of five different antibiotics! She reported that use of UTI E- Drops resolved her dilemma. Please let me know if this is helping others.

Breathe Dance Company to hold benefit concert for Michelle Brazeau’s family jwestendorp@metroland.com
Dance in the name of compassion. The Breathe Dance Company in Merrickville is putting on a benefit concert in support of Michelle Brazeau’s family. Brazeau died in December after a battle with pancreatic cancer, which she was diagnosed with in August, 2015. Brazeau was a 30-year-old mother of three, who lived in Merrickville. The community rallied around her to raise some $36,000 through fundraising efforts. Next month’s concert, which will feature a performance by Breathe’s competitive dance team, will be held at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville on Saturday, Feb. 20. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the show starts at 3 p.m. “It’s a celebration of life for Michelle Brazeau and her family,” explained Lindsay Roney, Breathe Dance Company owner and director. She said a member of the Brazeau family is a dancer
and part of the Breathe family. “We want to show that we support them,” she said. Tickets are being sold at Breathe, located at 629 St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, at a cost of $10 each or by donation. All proceeds from the concert will be going to Michelle Brazeau’s family. The Booster Club at Breathe will also be holding a bake sale during the concert, to bolster funds for the family. “We wanted our dancers to come together to do something for someone else,” said Roney. “Why not do something in our own community for our own families?” The Booster Club is also hosting a pancake breakfast on Saturday, Feb. 13, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, at St. Andrews United Church in Toledo, located at 284 County Rd. 8. “The dancers and their parents are organizing it and serving the breakfast,” she said. “All the proceeds are going towards the Breathe Dance competitive team, to help cover competition fees. If dancers are participating in more than
one category, the cost of competing can get really high. No one can afford that. Holding fundraisers helps cover the costs for the dancers.” She explained the team will be representing the community in five competitions this year, including Champions Dance and Shine Candance. For more information about the fundraisers, or to get tickets, email breathedanceco@gmail.com. About Breathe The Breathe Dance Company opened in March 2014. “It’s a small but growing studio,” said Roney. “It’s all about passion. We believe every dancer is gifted in their own way. We support each individual who walks through the doors with equal compassion and attention. We have qualified, driven and experienced dance instructors who work hard to provide top quality instruction to every dancer in our classes.” There are roughly 35 classes at Breathe each week, including ballet, jazz, acro (combination of dance and gymnastics), hip-hop, modern, contemporary, lyrical,

Municipality launches re-designed, user friendly website on Jan. 11 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The re-designed municipal website was officially launched on Jan. 11. “As you know, in 2015, council approved a complete re-design of the municipal website,” said Katie Valentin, Deputy Clerk and Communications Coordinator. “It has been largely untouched since 2008, so it was in need of some upgrades and modernization.” She explained there were a few key goals municipal staff had in mind when looking to re-design the website. “One was a clean and simple appearance. Second was ease of navigation through the website and the third was that the content and functionality of the site needed to be driven by the needs of the end users.” She explained the website contains a large amount of content, so it needed to be well organized so visitors don’t feel overwhelmed with information. “They can find what they’re looking for,” she said. “It’s not all right up front for them to sort through.” She said two key guidelines for ease of navigation were used in the re-design. “The first is, people shouldn’t have
to click more than three times to find what they’re looking for. So we tried to organize the site in such a way that one or two clicks and you can actually be looking at the information. The other guideline is there should be multiple ways to access the same information.” She said on the content and functionality side, the municipality tried to keep the end users in mind when developing the site. “In our case, the end users are everyone from residents, tourists, businesses, industries, other government – all kinds of users,” said Valentin. “One of the things we tried to do was organize the information and use language they’re going to be familiar with and understand.” She said a number of new features on the site are a direct result of a number of requests the municipality was getting from the public and businesses. “And a number of other features were developed so we can continue to enhance our communication between residents and other constituents in the municipality.” She highlighted that the top of the site content was divided into four main categories; live, work, play and govern. “Everything is searchable in those menus,” she said. “On the left hand
side, you’ll see icons. We put those icons there, and they’re clickable, and we put content there that are the most visited parts of the previous website.” She explained the icons are changeable, depending on season or popularity, such as winter parking restrictions to burn conditions. She said there is a popular links section that self populates. “The most popular links are going to pop to the top. This, again, enhances communication.” Front and center on the site is the local news and notices section. “We’re going to use this to highlight everything from our media releases about events and the media releases we send out after our council meetings highlighting what happened at the meeting.” At the bottom of the site is a small bar with accessibility features. “We have the ability for a screen reader, which when you click it, it’s a voice that will read whatever is on the webpage,” said Valentin. “We can also enlarge the font and change the contrast of the site, so anyone with visual disability can still read the website. And that accessibility menu will show up on every page of the site.” She said another new feature of the website is a listing of all municipal

credit cards for taxes and water/sewer bills.” The site also has a new feature for service requests from the public. “People can come in here, and under topic, there’s a whole list of items they can chose. They fill in their information, submit it and an email is automatically sent to the member of staff that we’ve designated to be on the receiving end of this.” She explained the search bar on the site now works in a similar way as Google. “As soon as you start typing in a term, it will automatically pop up with suggestions,” she concluded. The re-designed website has maintained the existing domain of www. northgrenville.ca.

sports fields and parks. “And all the amenities each one has.” The calendar of events, which is one of the most visited pages on the site, has also been upgraded. “We spent a lot of time working on this page to get it very functional and useful for people,” she said. “It can be divided into categories, so if you come in and you’re only looking for public skating, you can click the link (above the calendar) and it will only show public skating. If you’re interested in municipal meetings, you can click that, and it will be the only information that you see.” At the top right of the calendar is a button to ‘submit an event,’ which can be done by anyone in the public. The re-designed site also contains a document library. “The document library is one of the features that makes it really easy for people to find what they’re looking for,” said Valentin. “Any municipal document - whether minutes of a meeting, an agenda package, a permit - any of those documents will be in here. It is a searchable library.” She said one of the most exciting features of the new site is online payments. “Coming this spring – mid-March to be exact – we will be able to accept

Eastern Ontario All-Star Winter Showcase Kevin Abrams, HEO Director of Junior shares in the excitement, “the six games will definitely showcase the very best hockey players in our association, it’s always great to bring the top players under one roof for a night.” The HEO and Ottawa region has always been seen as a hotbed for hockey talent, the AllStar Winter Showcase will allow players to show their skills to coaches and scouts at the respective next levels. There is no doubt that many of them will go on to star in Junior, NCAA, CIS and even the NHL. The HEO and the “Central” has been a stepping stone for a number of current NHL stars including: Claude Giroux, Patrick Sharpe, Ryan Spooner, Wayne Simmonds, Erik Gudbranson, Paul Byron, Jimmy Howard, Marc Methot, Mark
Borowiecki and Dan Boyle who all point to their minor hockey days as keys in their overall development. The 12 team rosters will be announced later this week. The Bantams kick off the six games as the AAA (2001s) play at 6 p.m. and AA at 6:15 p.m. The new U18 AAA league will have the top 2000 birth aged midgets from the 12 teams on the Palladium Insurance rink at 7:45 p.m. The AA midget all-stars will face-off at 8 p.m. while the lone junior game featuring CCHL 2 start at 9:15 p.m. The last game of the night has a 9:30 p.m. puck drop which has the best 1998-99 born U18 players competing. There will be no admission to any of the games but a donation to DIFD will be encouraged and appreciated. R0033614640
The Bell Sensplex will play host to the inaugural Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) AllStar Winter Showcase evening. The six games will take place on Monday, Jan. 25 and feature all the best players in the six different leagues. The minor hockey games will include all the top bantam and midget “AA-AAA” players in the region. Also included in the showcase are the best junior players in the CCHL 2. It is also perfect timing to raise awareness and funds for DIFD which supports teen mental health and suicide prevention, as well national Bell Let’s Talk day is Wednesday, Jan. 27. The HEO is looking forward to hosting the event with the partnership created with HEO Minor and HEO Junior, and anticipates a great night of hockey on and off the ice.

Kemptville 73’s add two more to the win column Brian Wilson
On Friday, January 15, the revamped Kanata Lasers visited North Grenville to battle the 73’s. The Lasers added 6 players through trades at the CCHL deadline. It turned into an exciting game … if you are a Kemptville fan. By the time the game hit the ten minute mark of the first period, the 73’s held a 3-2 lead. Owen Guy scored first, from Jason Tackett and Matt Tugnutt at the 36 second mark. Then Bobby Dow, on a beautiful feed from Cam Russell, went in alone from the blue line and made it 2-0. Kanata came back to tie it. Adam Alavi put Kemptville back out in front on a setup from Dean Kiriacou and Kaelan O’Flynn. Again, the Lasers evened the score. Alex Row put the 73’s back out in front to stay. Dow picked up the lone assist.
Leading 4-3, Kemptville scored five straight goals in the second period to make it 9-3. The goals were scored by Victor Tracy, Dow, Tackett, Tugnutt and Kiriacou. The assists went to Matt Titus, Brandon Cole, Jake Gaudet with two, Tackett, Russell, Tugnutt, Dow and Guy with two. Kanata scored a power play goal with eight seconds left in the period. The score after two was 9-4. In the third, Kemptville added four more. The goal scorers were Dow, Gaudet, Guy and Kiriacou. The helpers went to Row and Tackett with two apiece and Gaudet, Tracy, Titus and Tugnutt. The 73’s outshot the Lasers 53-26. The final score was 13-4 for Kemptville. Nine members of the team had multiple points. Bobby Dow was named first star with a five point game. Owen Guy picked up the second star with a fourpoint game. On Sunday, January 17,
the Cornwall Colts arrived in Kemptville. The Colts are in seventh place overall, just ahead of the 73’s. This was a very important game for Kemptville, possibly with playoff implications. A Peewee “A” team, the Junior Engineers, travelled from Troy-Albany, New York to take in the game. Bobby Dow opened the scoring for the 73’s one minute after the opening faceoff. Cam Russell and Alex Row picked up the assists. The Colts picked up the equalizer in the second on the power play. With the teams tied 1-1 after two, the floodgates opened in the third. Cornwall scored to take a 2-1 lead early in the frame. Cam Russell’s seventh of the year tied the game for Kemptville. The goal was setup by Matt Tugnutt and Brandon Cole. The Colts regained the lead with a power play goal at 13:56. Kemptville answered with a power play goal of their own. Dean Kiriacou
and Tugnutt set up Owen Guy for his twenty fourth of the season. With both teams preparing for overtime, Tugnutt broke down the left wing and at the top of the circle, let a shot go for the top corner. The Colts goaltender got a glove on it, but was unable to control the puck. It fell behind him and rolled into the net. With eight seconds left on the clock, the 73’s nailed the victory by a 4-3 margin. Kemptville outshot Cornwall 45-29. Matt Tugnutt and Cam Russell were selected as first and second stars respectively. Kemptville is now only trailing Cornwall by one point and has two games in hand. The back end of the home and home series will be this Thursday, January 21, in Cornwall. The 73’s continue the road trip in Cumberland on Sunday, January 24 in Navan. Support your local team! Excitement on ice! See you at the rink!
