Municipality $100,000 under budget for snow removal in 2015 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Everything is awesome! R0013664536
A lack of snow equates to big savings for the municipality. Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works, said North Grenville is in excess of $100,000 under budget for snow removal in 2015. She stressed this figure is the unaudited amount. “The majority of that is wages, overtime and sand and salt,” she explained. She said the municipality didn’t need to re-fill the salt and sand domes at the end of the year, which is a typical expense. “Usually by the end of the year, they need re-filling. We didn’t have to do that in 2015.” She explained the significant savings are a direct result of “relatively no ice and no snow” during the last few months of 2015. “Last year (2014), we were also under budget
for snow removal by about $40,000,” she said. In 2013, the municipality was marginally over budget for snow removal by roughly $15,000. In 2012, the municipality was over budget by approximately $50,000. “It depends on the year and the weather,” said Dunlop. “In 2012, the biggest cost that took us over was sand and salt, by about $36,000.” The excess $100,000 will go back into general reserves. The funds may be used to cover municipal projects that went over budget in 2015. “If one department is under budget and another is over, the funds are used to cover that,” she said. The municipality has 600 Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND lane kilometers (300 kilometers, left and right lane) of road to clear during each snow event, with a total annual budget of roughly Lego Dave (Melville) dropped by the Oxford Mills Beavers’ meeting on Jan. 21 with millions of pieces of Lego. The beavers built their hearts out - mostly cool cars and action heroes, not dams. For more pictures see pages K10 and K11. $400,000.

Lanark Highlands charity working to ignite international change Plenty Canada seeking support for to attend conference in Lima, Peru portunity to visit Plenty Canada facilities, take a tour of on-site trails, guided by an Algonquin Elder, to learn about some of the culturally significant species that can be found in our region. Youth then enjoyed some time for lunch in a new outdoor cafeteria (Sponsored in part by RONA, Carleton Place), tasting some culturally significant food that was prepared by local elders, before wrapping up their day with a traditional Aboriginal crafting opportunity. This program has recently received a second sponsorship for the summer of 2016, through the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and will host some brand new learning opportunities. • Continuing Traditions (Sponsored by the National Wetlands Conservation Fund); this initiative involved the seeding of wild
rice and monitoring of its growth. Plenty Canada also completed an analysis of enhancement of the environmentally and culturally significant on-site wetland that was expected as a result of seeding this rice. • Plenty Canada is also a proud host of the Canadian Roots Exchange Program. Each fall, they welcome a new group comprised of both Aboriginal youth and non-Aboriginal youth from across the country. These young leaders come together to learn more about breaking cultural boundaries and cross-cultural sharing. Youth leave feeling empowered with tools and strategies for bridging cultural gaps in their own communities through the stories they have heard and the knowledge they have gained. Recently, Plenty Canada’s executive director, Larry McDermott,
has been invited to Lima, Peru this March for the 4th World Congress of Biosphere Reserves. The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is hosting this event and Larry has been selected to host a side event on the topic of indigenous engagement in biosphere reserves; more specifically, Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Indigenous Partnerships. Larry will be accompanied by communications and community outreach liaison, Alyson Edwards, who will support Larry in the delivery of the workshop. Plenty Canada is excited about this opportunity and they are seeking financial support for this mission from the local community. They have teamed up with The Mobile Giving Foundation Canada, who has organized a mobile giving campaign on Plenty Canada’s behalf. If you are interested in making

Plenty Canada is an indigenous registered charity, located about ten minutes northeast of the village of Lanark. Their efforts work to combine traditional Aboriginal knowledge with western science and technologies to create a more sustainable future for all at the local, provincial, national, and international levels. It might surprise you to know that this organization has been a part of our community for 40 years, having been incorporated provincially, as the Plenty Relief Society of Canada, in 1976 and then federally, in February of 1984, as Plenty Canada. Some of their most recent endeavours include: • Youth Reconnecting with Nature (Sponsored by the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation); local youth were provided the op-

Lanark County denies Open Doors funding request Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
Lanark County has opted against providing funding to Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth to continue an essential program. The county’s community services committee endorsed staff’s recommendation to deny a $23,700 funding request during its Jan. 13 meeting. The motion will now head to county council for final approval. The reason given for the denial is due to the fact that Open Doors is a provincially-funded organization and “the province has the ability to fix this situation,” noted Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves. “Children’s mental health is important to the entire community and the province should be working with organizations on the delivery of these programs,” he continued. However, that doesn’t mean the county is turning its back on Open Doors. Instead, they will draft a letter to Minister of Children and Youth Services, Tracy MacCharles, to see if something can be done. County Coun. Jay Brennan suggested Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier be included on any correspondence. “He could be an advocate at the provincial level,” he said. Back in December, Open Doors executive director Kevin Clouthier appeared as a delegation before the committee to seek additional funding to keep the organization’s Parents First program afloat. He was looking for $23,700 to cover the program for six months. The program, funded by Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, helps resolve parenting challenges and mental health issues that could result in their children being placed in the society’s care. According to a report by Greaves,
MacPherson’s Auto Centre in Carleton Place continues to be a big supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and recently donated a portion of their sales services for part of 2015 to the organization. Above, Ross MacPherson, left, and Spencer MacPherson, right, of MacPherson’s Auto Centre present the funds to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County resource development manager, Beth Sinclair.
the reason for the ask is down to staffing issues. “The current challenge is that the money to fund the program is insufficient due to staff being away on paid leave,” the report stated. “The way the province funds organizations is often that money cannot be transferred between envelopes. That is the case in this scenario; other provincial funding cannot be used to fill the vacancy and therefore the program cannot fulfill its mandate.” Greaves said there were two op-
“Children’s mental health is important to the entire community and the province should be working with organizations on the delivery of these programs.” KURT GREAVES LANARK COUNTY CAO
tions to consider: Granting the request using monies through Lanark County’s emergency fund, or decline and write to the Minister of Children and Youth Services to allow the movement of money and the program to continue. He recommended the latter option, with which council agreed. Coun. John Fenik said he appreciates the work Open Doors does within Lanark County “and due to confidentiality issues, they don’t get a lot of publicity.” He indicated there’s been a shift in the realignment of mental health services towards the 401 corridor and it’s important to keep them here. At the request of Coun. Shaun McLaughlin, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren will be forwarded a copy of the letter as well.

MacPherson’s Auto Centre invests in local children, Big Brothers Big Sisters MacPherson’s Auto Centre in Carleton Place has been investing in the lives of local children of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County for many years. They participate annually in Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake, raising funds through pledges in order to help provide more local children with mentors. MacPherson’s Auto Centre has chosen Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County to receive funds raised at their barbecues for the last two years. This past fall, MacPherson’s Auto Centre celebrated their grand re-opening with a barbecue that included food, face painting, cotton candy, music, and more. The community came out to celebrate the beautiful new building and MacPherson’s accomplishments. Mayor Louis Antonakos helped celebrate the event with a ribbon cutting. MacPherson’s Auto Cen-
tre also announced at the barbecue that they would donate a portion of their sales services to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County for the remainder of the year. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County appreciates MacPherson’s Auto Centre generously raising funds to invest in the lives of local children which helps provide the opportunity for more children to have life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their full potential. Through participating in Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake and raising funds through BBQs, and sales, MacPherson’s Auto Centre has raised thousands of dollars for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. “Local businesses like MacPherson’s Auto Centre greatly influence the work that we are able to do at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Raising money through
third party events has a huge impact on the work that we are able to accomplish” states Beth Sinclair, resource development manager of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Big Brothers Big Sisters has been helping local children and youth through local one on one and small group mentoring programs for more than 42 years. They are well known for quality programs that build self-esteem and increase academic performance. The agency does not receive sustained government funding, rather they fundraise to pay for the programs they offer. More than 550 children took part in their mentoring programs in 2015.

The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held on Thursday, Jan. 21, and a committee of the whole meeting on Jan. 4. United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Warden Dave Gordon outlined to Counties Council members the 2016 priorities of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC). The warden recently attended the EOWC annual meeting in Kingston where Peter Emon, Warden of the County of Renfrew, was elected chair. The vicechair for the second consecutive year is Peterborough County Warden J. Murray Jones. The caucus has listed five priorities to focus on, beginning “convincing the province, Hydro One and the major natural gas providers to urgently invest in the region’s hydro- electricity and natural gas transmission systems, to provide major industrial and commercial customers with affordable expansion opportunities and greater relief in operational costs.” Secondly, the caucus lists working in tandem with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) to close gaps in cellular and mobile broadband networks existing in many rural eastern Ontario communities, including Leeds Grenville. Connectivity is considered an essential service which is indispensable for economic development, home-based businesses, and emergency services. The third priority is continuing re-
search and advocacy on the province’s consideration for “growth planning for eastern Ontario.” There is a concern the proposed growth-planning exercise for this region could negatively impact the growth potential and economic development opportunities in the small, rural townships. Caucus will also be supporting the Leadership Council, formed in 2015, as it begins implementation of the key actions proposed in the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. The fifth and final priority listed by the Caucus is advocating at the provincial level for an across-the-board decrease in Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costs, namely by eliminating inefficiencies in service delivery. New deputy clerk hired by counties The counties administration division announced Sheena Earl, currently deputy clerk for the Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal, will be joining the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville staff. “I’m very excited to be joining the counties administrative team. I’m looking forward to working with counties council and staff,” she said. Earl has a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science with a Research Specialization designation. She completed a number of courses with the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario
(AMCTO), including the Municipal Administration, Municipal Accounting and Finance, and Municipal Law and Human Resource programs. Earl is a member of the New Professionals Networking Group, Accredited Municipal Clerk Task Force, and Accredited Municipal Professional Review Team. She is chair of the Leeds and Grenville Clerks and CAOs Committee and is known for her leadership and research skills. She joins the administration division as deputy clerk on Feb. 1. Counties working on Official Plan modifications Counties staff and the planning group will be meeting to discuss modifications to the Official Plan requested by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Counties council adapted its first Official Plan last summer pursuant to the Planning Act and its regulations. The ministry submitted its draft decision on the plan in December with proposed modifications. The counties have 180 days to submit comments. Counties is now recruiting for temporary planning assistance from a consultant and/ or planner while its manager of planning services if off on leave. A subsequent report will be done in response to the request for modifications. Submitted by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

Presented by ALK Event Management, with sponsorship from Barrel Head Wine Imports and Mike & Ness Photography, the event featured 60 wedding-related businesses, geared to everything from safe sunless tanning, hairstyling, makeup, decor, vacations, jewelry as well as creative bakers and florists. Above, visitors tour some of the vendors set up in the municipal centre lobby. Above right, Francine Duncan of Joy to Share Decorating, speaks with a potential client at her booth.

Embrace the magic of Beauty and the Beast with Mudds Jr. theatre troupe Katie Irvine
my sanctuary. I’ve made friends here that I know I’ll have for the rest of my life, and the encouragement and support that I received from all of the volunteers have made me into the confident, outgoing person that I am today. The Mississippi Mudds are what introduced me to my passion for theatre, which I can’t imag-
ine living without today. While this particular production will be bittersweet for me, as it is my last with the Jr. Mudds before I head off to university (for performance acting!), I will always treasure the time spent as a member of this wonderful organization. But now, I humbly invite you to relax and pull up a chair as
the Mississippi Mudds proudly present…Beauty and the Beast. Please be our guest! Directed by Kate Cooney, produced by Linda Beiglee and with musical direction by Laurel Tye, Beauty and the Beast makes its debut at the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Friday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. It will run Satur-
day, Feb. 27 and Sunday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m., with remaining shows Thursday, March 3 and Friday, March 4 at 7 p.m., as well as Saturday, March 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for all performances. For more information, visit www.mississippimudds.ca. Katie Irvine is a Mississippi Mudds youth member.

It’s a tale as old as time: A talented cast of young actors come together, forming friendships and learning the value of teamwork, and put on a fun-filled family production. This cast of actors, which I’m honored to be a part of for the last time in my acting career, is the Mississippi Mudds Jr. theatre troupe, and the show they’ll be bringing to life this year is the animated Disney classic-turned Broadway musical, Beauty and the Beast. The story chronicles a prince who is transformed into a hideous beast as punishment for his cruelty and selfishness, and a courageous and intelligent young woman named Belle who is forced to live as a prisoner in his castle in order to save the life of her genius yet eccentric father. In order for the Beast, along with the other inhabitants of his castle, to become human again, he must learn how to love Belle and earn her love in return before time runs out. With the help of Lumière the candelabra, Cogsworth the clock, Mrs. Potts the teapot, Chip the teacup, Babette the feather duster, and Madame de la Grande Bouche the wardrobe, Belle and the Beast realize that true beauty comes from within, and that there are more important reasons to love someone than for their
physical appearance. The show is a visual feast, with inventive costumes, gorgeous sets, and awe-inspiring choreography, and is also a feast for the ears, with both familiar tunes from the original 1991 movie as well as seven new songs written just for the stage adaptation, all of which my fellow cast members pull off with seemingly-endless energy and panache. They manage to make an alreadylovable host of characters even more so, and bring a palpable sense of joy to this production that endlessly inspires me. I first auditioned for a Mississippi Mudds Jr. show back in 2011, when I was 12-years-old. It was Stephen’s Sondheim’s, Into The Woods, a musical that I had never heard of at the time, and I knew hardly anyone in the cast. I was scared out of my wits when my mom first dropped me off at the Carleton Place Town Hall for auditions, but by the time the three-hour audition was over, I was having the time of my life. All of the cast members and crew were so friendly and welcoming that my fear melted away almost instantly, and the kids all bonded so quickly that we had already become a little family by the time my mom had to practically drag me to our car. Ever since then, the Mississippi Mudds have been

Puppies like Duke need foster homes to become guide dogs person for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind says, “We’re always seeking volunteers, but right now we’re a little desperate. It is difficult to find people to take a puppy in the winter, but even if you don’t like winter, this is a good time. Until the pup has all of its shots, you are mostly inside with the pup for the first eight weeks. So, if you start now the bulk of the outings will actually begin in the spring.” As for Duke, he is currently
a registered charity in 1984. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided more than 780 professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind also operates an Assistance Dogs Division, which trains assistance dogs for individuals in the local area with mobilityrelated disabilities.

This is a very unique volunteer opportunity, and you could help play a role in changing someone’s life. Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day. Current volunteers include stay-athome parents, post-secondary students, individuals who work from home or have their own business, part-time workers, or retirees. In fact, some gain permission from their employer to take the dog to
animals, want to learn, and are able to work on a schedule with the puppy. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has information sessions scheduled for Feb. 5, Feb. 19, and March 3.

Police seeking public’s help in Tay Valley puppy theft Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police are seeking assistance from the public to identify the person or persons responsible for a break, enter and theft in which a small dog was taken. Sometime between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 8 an unknown person(s) entered a residence on Christie Lake Road, Tay Valley Township and took a fourweek-old, chocolate coloured Labrador puppy.

Meet Duke. Duke is a yellow Labrador retriever. He might be a cute little bundle of fluff, but this yellow Lab will, hopefully, one day become the eyes for a Canadian who is blind or visually impaired. Duke was born into the breeding program of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, with the intention of one day becoming a guide dog. It takes approximately two years for a puppy like Duke to become a guide dog. At approximately eight weeks of age, pups are placed into the homes of volunteers, who raise the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization. The pups require homes to learn what it takes to be a ‘good dog’ before entering into formal training to become a guide dog or assistance dog for someone in need. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is currently seeking loving homes for a long-term volunteer commitment of 1218 months. All food and veterinary expenses are provided. Puppies will be ready for placement in the next several weeks. Volunteers need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog. Pups are placed into homes at approximately eight weeks of age, so you’ll be housebound for a short time. The pup is kept mostly in the house until it has received vaccinations at 16 weeks of age. After that, you are asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it to as many environments and situations as possible, which it may later encounter as a guide dog. You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all

We know it’s tough
A
s much as it is customary for many of us to take a positive approach as a new year begins, we empathize with the people who find themselves out of work or on the way to being unemployed through no fault of their own. Whether it’s the sudden closure of a factory, office or store or a longer-term scenario in which an announcement is made in advance or the writing is on the wall, the bottom line is that the local economy is far from being solid for the men and women who are trying or will be trying to find a decent job close to home and are finding it difficult. Some of the losses and departures are quite public, but then there are those that take place very quietly and without any fanfare. Their challenges are just as real and frustrating as the other higher-profile moves that cause real hardship to those affected by downsizing or shifts in corpo-
rate thinking. Those of us who happen to be enjoying success in whatever we are doing at the moment should never lose sight of the fact that things can change quickly, and not necessarily for the better. As we congratulate those of you who are taking risks and are opening businesses or starting ventures in the face of what is, at the very least, a shaky economic future, we acknowledge the apprehension that seems to be affecting a growing number of companies and workers out there. It’s not easy keeping pace with advances in technology and the way business is being done, and some us might not be able to adapt to that new reality. We understand what it’s like to be out of work, and we hope that those of you who find yourselves in that situation can get through what we know is a difficult time and can find a solution that gives you some degree of financial stability as well as personal satisfaction.
Red bricks on the farm had many stories to tell Father said he had no recollection of how the red bricks came to us on the farm in Northcote. They were always there. And yes, they served just about the same purpose as they did since he was a little boy. He said they could probably have come from a building that was being built many years ago, such as the big red brick house beside Briscoe’s General Store, where the family lived for generations. “If there were bricks laying around, and not being used, you could have them, I guess,” he said. And no, he doubted any money changed hands. I accepted that explanation of how red bricks got to us when there wasn’t a building on our entire farm that wasn’t made of logs or boards. But they were certainly put

to good use by our family. They were mostly used in the wintertime. Always a couple sat on the reservoir at the back of the stove, as Mother said “just in case”. The “just in case” meant we needed a quick warm up for freezing feet on a bitterly cold day after being outside playing in the snow, or after our three and a half mile walk home from the Northcote School. And if there wasn’t something cooking in the oven of the Findlay Oval, it wasn’t unusual to see a couple bricks
heating up inside. If we were still wearing our stockings, there was no need to wrap the bricks in a heavy towel. We just put our stockinged feet right on the hot bricks and got immediate warmth. Of course, we never went anywhere in the cutter or on the sleigh without hot bricks wrapped many times in the Renfrew Mercury and placed under our galoshes-covered feet. Hot bricks warmed our beds at night. How I loved to crawl between the feather ticking that covered us, and the feathered mattress, and know that the bricks had warmed the bed first! There was one brick that never touched the floor. This one was scrubbed clean and sat on the bake table and was

It should be noted that the process for refugee sponsorship is dictated by the federal government (Immigration and Citizenship), with provincial functions that address settlement

year, up from 35 per cent a year prior. “As Toronto’s real estate market continues to make headlines, residents in the 416 believe that it has the potential to become stronger still in the next year,” says Sean Simpson, vice-president, Ipsos Public Affairs, in an OREA release from earlier this month. Only in Central Ontario was there a similar upswing in sentiment. Fourin-ten (42 per cent) Central Ontarians feel that their city’s real estate market will be stronger in the next year, compared to 34 per cent last year. More central Ontarians also think local real estate markets are stronger compared to a year ago (36 per cent this year, compared to 22 per cent last year). “Regional perceptions are more aligned on the question of economic conditions,” said Simpson. “Across all
the regions surveyed, fewer Ontarians this year described the current state of the economy in Ontario and their city as ‘good’.” In November 2015, 51 per cent of Ontarians described the economy of their city or town as ‘good’, down from 59 per cent a year prior. The trend in all regions is downward, with those in the 905 (64 per cent) and 416 (56 per cent) being most positive, followed by those in the eastern (52 per cent), southwestern (47 per cent), central (34 per cent) and northern (31 per cent) parts of the province. These are some of the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2 on behalf of the Ontario Real Estate Association. Source: OREA
The volunteer driven Syrian Refugee Committee of Mississippi Mills (SRCMM) is comprised of four such constituent groups, actively working to welcome Syrian families to Mississippi Mills. These groups work with sponsorship agreement holders (faithbased and non-affiliated organizations, often of a national scale, some with regional offices). In addition, the SRCMM provides goods & services co-ordination, fundraising and financial co-ordination, community outreach and planned employment co-ordination. The SRCMM’s objective also involves the engagement of all levels of government, including the county. Dollars in support of the work of the constituent groups is vital; the SRCMM is grateful for donations and contributions from the Town of Mississippi Mills, fundraising by the people of Pakenham and the upcoming Feb. 13 fundraiser by the Almonte

back summer kitchen were minus their corners from being kicked into place over decades. But the two bricks that caught my fancy the most were the one that sat at the back door in the kitchen, and the one at the door in the parlour. Both of them were door stops, but because they were the first thing a visitor saw when coming into our house, you would never, at first glance, know they were bricks. Long before Mother went to the farm in Northcote, someone had crocheted covers for these two bricks. They were made of bright red and green wool, no doubt left over from knitting socks or mitts. As Mother said, the crocheted brick covers gave a bit of status (a word I

had never heard of before), to two very ordinary necessities: door stops. Like so many other ordinary things put to good use on the farm, bricks coming to us from goodness knows where, served a purpose. And when they were put at my feet, I wondered how many toes had touched them before me, and I would look at the covered brick at the back door, and marvel at the number of visitors who had passed beside it, and how often a foot had moved it out of the way to hold open a door on a farm that generations before me had called home.

Residential real estate markets are stronger now than they were a year ago, said 40 per cent of Ontarians about their respective cities, up from 33 per cent last year, according to the Ontario Home Ownership Index, a semi-annual survey by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). Looking ahead to the next year, four-in-ten (38 per cent) Ontarians say their city’s real estate market will be stronger (up two points). Optimism for the year ahead is highest among GTA residents, 46 per cent of which said they forecast a stronger real estate market in 2016 (up 6 points from last year). Torontonians in particular showed the greatest increase in confidence – nearly half (46 per cent) say Toronto’s real estate market will be stronger this
Civitan Club. However, above all, it is human services, housing, jobs and settlement support that is needed. The key element to effective refugee integration is a community-based organization that can co-ordinate activities and increase service efficiency. The SRCMM is a successful example of a working organization demonstrating this capacity. While volunteer effort is an essential element, a more viable business model will soon be needed to ensure continuity, collaboration and sharing of best practices with other communities both provincially and federally. The SRCMM would be pleased and proud to present to county council a business case, focusing both on the financial as well as the social benefits to our communities, for greater support of refugee settlement in Lanark County.

Adrian Wynands (president of Grenville Federation of Agriculture) and his wife Carol are pictured donated a cheque to Rideau Community Health Services, board chair, Jacques Pelletier for the Merrickville District Emergency Food Cupboard.
Grenville farmers support food banks and 4H clubs Farmers with the Grenville Federation of Agriculture have once again raised crops on previously fallow land, and with the profits from the harvest they have invested in Grenville County Food Banks. Not only are these great men and women helping out those most in need but they are also investing in area youth by making financial donations to our 4H Clubs. Adrian Wynands (president of Grenville Federation of Agriculture) and his wife Carol are pictured donated a cheque to Rideau Community Health Services, board chair, Jacques Pelletier
for the Merrickville District Emergency Food Cupboard. Local farmers donated a total of $17,500 to five Grenville County Food banks from crops raised on 90 acres of donated land. 11 Year Old, Artistic and Generous Perhaps inspired by local farmers, 11-year-old, 4H member Kacey Caines from rural Merrickville Wolford, also made a generous donation to help local people in need. Caines made Christmas wreathes and sold them to raise money. She is shown below handing a cheque for $205 to Jacque Pelletier, chair, board of directors of Merrickville District
Community Health Centre, a part of Rideau Community Health Services. Caines wrote in her Christmas card: “I am so happy to give this money from my hand made wreaths. I wish you and all the people depending on the Food Cupboard a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.” The South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) has provided funding for Rideau Community Health Services (RCHS). RCHS is also supported by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and by the communities and people it serve.

SFDCI students fill the shelves
Six students from a Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) Civics course chose to make a change in their school library. Since November 2015 they have been trying to get new young adult fictional novels for their library. In the past two months they have collected at least 50 books! If anyone has any recent young adult novels just laying around or collecting dust, they are still collecting. There is a book donation bin outside SFDCI’s office. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Quick return Chanel Charron made a quick return pass Jan. 21 during the teen night at the Smiths Falls Public Library. Teen nights are run throughout the year at the library.

Ireland’s future changed forever 100 years ago Reflections By Jeff maguire
sad, the stories that swirl in and around Kilmainham Jail are riveting.

Exploring the maze of dark corridors, walking the worn stone steps of the prison and entering some of the cells, I could almost feel the touch and hear the voices of the poor souls who were incarcerated there and those who died in that hellish place. No
matter what they had done, surely it couldn’t have been worthy of time in the brutal environment of Kilmainham? After boarding the bus for the return trip to central Dublin I made a note about something we heard during the jail tour. When we got home I added that information to my list of future columns. One hundred years ago this year the seeds of Irish independence, which had been sewn so many years before but failed to take root, sprang to life in dramatic fashion. Kilmainham is intrinsically linked to the year 1916 and events which forever changed the future of Ireland. Kilmainham is only part of the story of course. The year 1916 was a pivotal one for Ire-

land in many ways. Sombre period With the First World War raging in Continental Europe 1916 began on a sombre note in Ireland. Many thought the Great War, which began in August 1914, would be over by Christmas. Instead plans were being made to establish conscription for the British Army. The Irish, who were part of the empire, were concerned their
young men would soon be forced to fight. As 1916 dawned war tension gripped the small country. New Year’s celebrations were muted with newspapers reporting that church bells didn’t sound at midnight Jan. 1 as usual. At the beginning most Irish people supported the war. But with so many in favour of “home rule” (Irish self-government) the See MAGUIRE page 22

Those who know me well know I am heavily dependent on notes. The truth is that if I didn’t make notes I would miss a lot of things, including some of the appointments I have made. Similarly, if it wasn’t for the notes I make when we are travelling I might forget the dates that coincide with places, events and historic occasions I want to write about in future. In October I wrote a column about the visit Kathleen and I made to Kilmainham Jail (or ‘Gaol’ as the Irish spell it) in Dublin the previous month. I noted that a tour of the former jail, which is now a major tourist attraction, offers visitors a mirror to the dark side of Irish history. Although most are incredibly

Whatever I write about Ireland attracts a lot of attention from readers of this newspaper. Not all that surprising considering nearly 4.5 million Canadians can trace their roots to the beautiful Emerald Isle with its “40 shades of green.” Last week, at the conclusion of a two-part travel related series, I didn’t have enough space to refer to Ireland. I focused mainly on some of my favourite European destinations. Because I’ve written a number of articles about our travels in Ireland in recent times I decided to leave the island nation aside. But my wife and I have fallen in love with Ireland and plan to return as often as we can. Dublin, for example, has become one of our favourite destinations.

Your help will make it possible for earlier care and finding a new home for them sooner. LAWS’ financial situation is still quite dismal. We thought we were all caught up on outstanding bills but almost daily there are businesses calling with invoices that have been outstanding for eight to 10 months. We will get caught up eventually but cash flow is shaky. We have cut expenses as far as we can without jeopardising the animals’ care. Volunteers are coming back to the shelter with the knowledge that the management is once again welcoming and caring. The board is searching for ways to become as efficient as possible. Your ongoing support, both financial and emotional, is so very much needed and appreciated. Thank you. This week’s featured pets Joel

When Joel came to LAWS it was apparent that his nails had not been clipped for a very long time. One of his nails was growing into a pad, a very painful experience. Luckily for him it’s all taken care of. Joel is an older, 10-year-old male. Despite his age he still has a lot of spunk in him. A quiet home for this divine boy would be best. Please come and see him at LAWS where he’s eagerly awaiting to meet his next new forever family.

political climate gradually changed. Still, it is a little known fact that more than 200,000 men from lightly populated Ireland served in the British forces during the First World War and more than 40,000 died. As 1916 began resentment to British rule was widespread with rebels plotting to fight for an independent Ireland. In fact 100 years ago this month the Irish Republican Brotherhood Supreme Council met in Clontarf Town Hall in Dublin. They voted to fight the British as soon as possible. What is now known as “the Easter Rising” began on Easter Monday (April 24) 1916. Approximately 1,200 members of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army surprised British authorities by seizing key buildings in Dublin, including the General Post Office. They immediately declared an Irish Republic. There were other isolated but not terribly effective actions mounted in several other communities. Initially there was a great deal of public opposition to the rebellion. Some people even went to the buildings held by the rebels and shouted at them, “Get out! Go to France and fight.” The rebels held out for six days. They were badly outnumbered and outgunned by the British Army and were ultimately forced to surrender. But not before heavy fighting left many dead and wounded on both sides, mainly in Dublin city centre. Research done in the lead-up to the 100th anniversary this coming April found
was a normal high school senior until the aliens came. She lost her mother in the 3rd wave, and her father in the 4th. All she has left is her younger brother Sam (Zachery Arthur). When the military, led by Colonel Vosch (Liev Schreiber), come looking for survivors, and specifically children, they grab Sam, but miss Cassie. Cassie vows to find her brother, and starts on a cross-country trek to get to the military base where he’s been taken. Along the way she gets shot, and then rescued by Evan (Alex Roe). Together they continue Cassie’s quest to find Sam. Meanwhile at the military base Sam, and all the other children are being trained to protect humanity against the coming 5th wave. His squad leader is a kid named Ben (Nick Robinson) who just happens to be Cassie’s old high school crush. Ben sus-
that 485 people, more than half of them civilians, died in the fighting. The British Army lost 107 dead and the rebels suffered 58 killed. Fifteen leaders of the rebellion were executed by firing squad in what had been the stone breakers’ yard at Kilmainham. The jail, which had closed its doors in February 1910, was re-opened by the British authorities to house political prisoners between 1916 and 1924. The last prisoner released from the forbidding institution was Eamon de Valera who, as one of the leaders during the Easter Rising, was originally sentenced to death. His sentence was later commuted to life in prison. Released from Kilmainham in 1924, de Valera later became Taoiseach (Prime Minister) and President of the then independent Republic of Ireland. During our visit to Kilmainham it was chilling for Kathy and me to stand at the same spot where the leaders of the Easter Rising were executed. However, their deaths played a large part in turning popular opinion against the British government and in favour of independence. Major publicity The Easter Rising focused world attention on the fact so many Irish people longed for independence. The fighting made headlines around the world with the New York Times, for example, splashing it across the front page for days. At the time of the rising wireless communications was still in its infancy. However the Rebels occupied the Wireless School of Telegraphy in Dublin. They
pects something isn’t right, but is forced to go along with the status quo. Without giving away too much Ben is right. The situation isn’t right, and frankly neither is the film. The whole premise is too much to swallow. These aliens can wipe out our electronics, cause earthquakes, and a mutated flu virus, and yet it all comes down to children in the final fight. It’s just too ridiculous. It’s a long way to go to have the kids versus aliens in a post apocalyptic world scenario, and frankly it isn’t worth the trip.
The film isn’t without some merits. Technically it’s well done, offering a good deal of suspense and action. It even has the typical teen love triangle that is apparently crucial in these kinds of films. We have a decent cast in Nick Robinson, Zachery Arthur, Alex Roe, Liev Schreiber and Mario Bello. What we don’t have is plausibility. Most of the film falls on the shoulder of Chloe Grace Moretz, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2016 – 7 PM and I like her.

were able to fix a damaged transmitter and sent a stream of messages in Morse code trumpeting the uprising and its “success.” Although wildly optimistic the messages were repeated at regular intervals for 24 hours. It’s widely held that those reports qualify as the first radio broadcasts in world history. Williams Butler Yeats, one of the greatest writers in Irish history, offered his own view of the struggle for Irish independence in his poem ‘Easter, 1916’. We have visited Yeats’ grave in the hamlet of Drumcliff, County Sligo in the far northwest of the Irish Republic. A recent BBC on-line story about the political climate in Ireland in 1916 notes that republicans were also upset that the country switched to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on Oct. 1 of that year. Previously Ireland had observed Dublin Mean Time which was set 25 minutes earlier than GMT. Today commemorations of the Easter Rising begin 25 minutes earlier than GMT. The same BBC piece notes that another prominent Irish writer, James Joyce, had his first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, published in December 1916. The acclaimed book is not about Irish independence, but rather the religious and intellectual awakening of a young man. Kathy and I and our friends, the LeBlancs, have had the pleasure of visiting some of Joyce’s favourite pubs in Dublin including Lincoln’s Inn, near the National Gallery of Ireland. That’s where the writer met his muse and wife Nora Barnacle. It wasn’t only the fight for
independence that makes 1916 stand out in Irish history. The First World War continued and on July 1 (the same day Canadians mark our bloodless move to Confederation and independence from Britain) Irish soldiers played a major role in the horrific Somme offensive in northern France. The 36th Ulster Division, which contained many Ulster volunteers, lost 5,500 men in two days. In August 1916 the Irish Times newspaper published a 264-page handbook detailing the Easter Rising. On Nov. 18 the Battle of the Somme ended after 141 days, due to foul weather, but with thousands of Irish casualties. Dec. 21 the British government announced that all Irish prisoners held in England were to be released. The last group of 460, liberated from Reading Jail west of London, arrived in Dublin on Christmas Day. Among them was Sean T. O’Kelly. A close friend of de Valera, he later served as the second President of Ireland. There’s no question that events 100 years ago permanently altered the political and social landscape of what soon became the Republic of Ireland. Britain still rules the six counties of Northern Ireland and despite the fact the struggle for independence in the north has settled considerably in recent times, tensions remain high. There is no guarantee “The Troubles” as they are euphemistically called, won’t explode once again.

It’s basically about a group kids in a post apocalyptic world who are forced to fight to survive, and maybe reclaim their world. It’s a popular genre these days, but it may be played out When the aliens first came they did nothing for ten days. Then the 1st wave took out all of the world’s electronics. The 2nd wave caused earthquakes killing millions. The 3rd wave brought plague that wiped out millions more. The 4th wave saw the aliens infiltrate humanity undetected. Cassie (Chloe Grace Moretz)

A Kitchener/Waterloo based company Safety Tree is offering a new program developed by SOS 4 Kids that equips children from seven to 10 years with skills to identify and respond to potentially dangerous situations. My Safe Life – Personal Safety for Kids helps children recognize inappropriate behaviours, when to speak up and how to seek help if they feel uncomfortable or threatened. The program will be offered on PD days, weekends and March Break. There is a Home Alone Safety for Kids class coming up in Carleton Place on the Feb. 3 PD day and the new My Safe Life – Personal Safety for Kids will be offered over the March Break. For years, parents have focused on telling their kids not to talk to strangers, but this message is not complete, says SOS 4 Kids. The better safety message for kids to remember is “don’t go anywhere with anyone without first getting permission from a parent or a person in charge.” This makes people safety and self-protection easy for children to comprehend. According to Statistics Canada, most children and youth are abused by people they know. Only 12 per cent of offences involving children are committed by strangers. The remaining cases are committed by either an acquaintance (44 per cent of the time) or a family member (38 per cent of cases). Tricky people are predators who use deceptive techniques to groom a targeted child and to earn their trust and affection. Kids need to know that a tricky person could be anyone: a teacher, a coach, a parent, a family member, an older child... anyone. Staying alert, being assertive and knowing where to go for help is a child’s best line defense. Who can a child trust? Trust is built over time as children get to know someone. They shouldn’t just trust a person because that person is an adult or someone they know. Trust has to be earned based on a person’s traits and actions. A trustworthy person is
reliable, honest and would never intentionally try to hurt them. However, when a person oversteps boundaries and does something sneaky or deceitful, they have crossed the line and trust is destroyed. Children need to understand that it is not their fault if an adult behaves badly. They should feel confident they can speak out and get help from a trusted adult. A trusted adult can be a principal, a teacher, a parent, the police, child protection services, just to name a few. Teaching children to avoid strangers may compromise their safety because they may need to get help from a stranger one day. Most strangers are good people and would never harm anyone. Parents should talk about which strangers kids can go to if they need help, possibly if they get lost or an adult they are with becomes injured or ill. Safer strangers are a mother with children, a store clerk, the police, a security guard for example. What are some of the inappropriate things that “tricky people” do? • They may ask a child to keep a secret. • They may give gifts and money. • They may ask kids for help when they should be asking another adult, like tracking down a lost pet. • They may try to spend lots of alone time with a child. • They may pay a lot of attention to a child. • They may use bribes, threats, physical abuse or blackmail to keep a child silent. • They may expose a child to adult-only content. Children need to feel confident about their right to be safe and that all adults are responsible for protecting them. Parents should get to know the people who are spending time with their kids, like coaches and babysitters, and they should listen and take action when children say they have a safety problem or an emergency.

Mural depicting importance of inclusion unveiled at NGMC Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
In a world of black and white, dare to be gray. Melissa Workman, Grade 11 student at St. Michael Catholic High School, is a shining example of how youth can impact change in the community. She unveiled a mural at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, titled ‘Inclusion,’ on Jan. 20. “Over the summer, I worked for Community Living North Grenville,” she explained. “It was amazing. I learnt so much.” It was her first time working with people who have intellectual disabilities – something that has long interested her. “I wanted to get to know different aspects of our community and how people are treated,” she said. Following the summer position at CLNG, Workman was introduced to Reaction 4 Inclusion - a youth social movement through Community Living Ontario. Reaction 4 Inclusion, which began in 2009, involves youth from across Ontario coming together to create awareness about the equal treatment of all people.
“We work with over 50 schools across the Province each year,” explained Linda White, representative of CLO. “There are groups in each school and those groups do work within the school and community.” Workman is part of the provincial steering committee for Reaction 4 Inclusion. “Youth manage the movement across the Province,” said White. “Community Living North Grenville saw potential in her to be a leader. She is a youth change animator in the community.” The role of leader came with responsibility. Workman was tasked with running a community change project and building a culture of inclusion in her school and community. “Myself and my close friends have been doing things in the school,” Workman said. “We had a contest to create a video, poem, drawing or essay about inclusion and the definition of it.” There were three winners of the contest – one poem, one drawing and one video, which was shown prior to the unveiling of the mural.
A mural, titled ‘Inclusion,’ was unveiled at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Jan. 20. Above, from left, Community Living North Grenville Executive Director Sandra McNamara, Community Living Ontario representative LaToya Morgan, mural co-creator Nicole Gilles, Mayor David Gordon and Melissa Workman. To the left, McNamara and Workman cut the ribbon prior to the mural unveiling.

The mural itself, which depicts a tree covered with leaves from all four seasons, and reads ‘strength lies in differences, not in similarities,’ was the joint creation of Workman and her best friend, Nicole Gilles. The mural took roughly two months to make. “It’s really for people to see how important inclusion is and to react to it.” Workman is already cooking up her next project, which involves a global movement about inclusion. She is hoping to use social media as a vessel for this change. “I love the journey,” she said. Sandra McNamara, Executive Director of CLNG, said people with intellectual disabilities need to be recognized as equal, valuable and contributing members of their communities. “There is still more work to do,” she said. “It’s the social norm to think people with intellectual disabilities are special or need charity, but they are contributing members.”
She said Workman is an exceptional young person and student for raising awareness about inclusion. “A sincere thank-you goes to her and I admire all she has done,” said McNamara. “This vision of inclusion will be seen by many.” “Today is Melissa’s day,” said Mayor David Gordon, during the unveiling ceremony. “She has passion for what she believes in. Equality is very important and Melissa, you have more talent in your little finger than I do in my whole body. Thank you for what you have done.” “There are so many characteristics that define who we are as individuals,” said Workman. “The first day we started painting the plywood, I knew something inspirational would come out of it. This is more than just something on a wall.” She said she wants to help create a world where everyone is accepted. “I want people to look at the mural and have a new perspective on how to view those around us,” she said. “Accept people for who they are, not who they aren’t.”

Kettle host thank-you breakfast Representatives from the six locations that hosted kettles during the Salvation Army’s 2015 Kettle Campaign were honoured during a thank-you breakfast at the Rideau Restaurant in Kemptville on Jan. 21. The campaign broke all records by bringing in over $80,000 for the Kemptville Salvation Army. Honourees included B&H Grocer, Jonsson’s Independent Grocer, Food Basics, LCBO, Walmart and Canadian Tire. Also recognized was 97.5 Juice FM, which hosted a radiothon for the Salvation Army, and the Kemptville Advance, for continued media support. The funds from the campaign go towards every facet of the organization, including the food bank, programming and services. “You can always depend on the Salvation Army; it doesn’t matter who you are, the Salvation Army is there for you,” said Charly Stewart, Kettle Campaign Coordinator. From left, Salvation Army Director Calvin Wong, LCBO representatives Mark Vinet and Shawn Brown, Food Basics representative Chris Kryskow, Walmart representatives Ashley Sloan and Wendy Taylor, 97.5 Juice FM representative Drew Headrick, Canadian Tire owner Frank Hoffman, Jonsson’s Independent Grocer owners Steve and Sylvie Jonsson and Salvation Army Director Erin Wong.

Roughly 100 people gather for first public R.I.N.G. meeting in Kemptville Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
To the starting gate. The initiative to sponsor two Syrian refugee families in North Grenville is in full swing. Refugees in North Grenville, the non-partisan community group formed before Christmas, held their first public meeting at the Kemptville Christian Reformed Church on Jan. 20. Roughly 100 people attended the meeting. “Thank you all for your precious time,” said Pastor Ken Gehrels, Vice Chair of R.I.N.G. “You’ve got a million other things you could do and places you could be. But you have chosen to be here and we’re glad.” “Looking at you all – you’re immigrants,” said Mayor David Gordon. “You’re refugees. Is that a bad word? No, it’s not. Just remember where you came from – remember your roots. This country is made up of immigration; it’s made up of refugees. I know I’ve talked to a few people that think refugee is a bad word. And I say think

because of the revolution. Canada has probably been made up of war orphans for 100 years. So it’s time we, once again, open up our hearts when people are in trouble.” He said refugees are a net benefit to Canada. “You realize that at this point in time the population of Canada is decreasing to the point if we don’t have a massive increase in immigration, we won’t have enough people to actually take the jobs,” said Gordon. “This isn’t in 50 years - you’re looking five, 10 years – we won’t enough people to fill the jobs we have. If we dither, we’re going to be in serious trouble. Refugees are a benefit to Canada.” “It just thrills me to be here this evening and look out and see all of you,” said Stephanie Gilmer, Executive Director of World Hope Canada.

by the end of Feb. “Those are government assisted refugees, so the government is bringing them in. That’s different from what we’re doing. What we’re involved in is the private sponsorship program. Interestingly enough, with a private sponsorship program, Canadians directly participate in identifying and settling refugees. We’re going to be the ones at the airport. Can you imagine being at the Ottawa International Airport as they come down the escalator and our very first refugee family arrives? Imagine how exciting that is going to be.” She said the sponsoring group is responsible to cover all settlement costs and respond to all settlement needs for the first 12 months after arrival. “From a financial perspective, say you want to sponsor a family of four, well it says the income support for a family of four is $20,000 for one year and then $7,000 would cover all of the start-up costs.

Green Food Box returns to South Dundas, provides affordable produce In partnership with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), Linking Hands has joined forces with the Dundas County Food Bank (DCFB), the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (SD&G) County Library, Community Living Dundas County, and Riley’s Valumart to bring back the value and convenience of the monthly produce bag. Open to all residents of the county, the South Dundas Green Food Box comes in two sizes – the $10 or the $15 option. While both sizes will see variations in the types of fruits and vegetables included each month, the larger option will provide items not regularly seen in the smaller version. For example, while bananas or
apples will more often than not find their way into the $10 bag, a mango – if there is one – would be found in the $15 bag. Both options are to include the monthly recipe prepared by EOHU dietician Stephanie Parent. Although participants do not choose what fruits or vegetables make it into their bag, the residents of South Dundas do have the power to insure greater variety for the Green Food Box simply by placing an order. More orders lead to greater buying power, which means more versatility in choosing each month’s produce items. “This buying power is why we recommend that all residents, regardless
of their annual income, participate in the program,” Parent said. First and foremost, the Green Food Box program endeavors to provide residents with healthy nutritious fruits and vegetables in an easy and convenient package, encouraging participants to try something new, whether it’s a new fruit, vegetable, or recipe. On Wednesday, February 10, those who have placed their orders by the deadline (Friday, January 29) will be able to collect their bag from the Dundas County Food Bank at 28 Ottawa Street in Morrisburg between 1 and 5 pm. Orders may be placed at the DCFB or Community Living Morrisburg lo-
cations, any of the Dundas County libraries, or at the House of Lazarus in Mountain. In addition, orders may be placed during the North Dundas Green Food Box pick up day on January 29 between 11 am and 2 pm at the arena in Winchester. “The success of this program depends entirely on the people of South Dundas,” Linking Hands coordinator Sandy Casselman said. “We need a number of regular buyers to not only ensure a good variety of vegetables and fruits, but to also validate potential future expansion of order and pick up sites throughout the municipality.” Linking Hands is an outreach proj-
ect of the House of Lazarus (HOL) focused on reducing poverty in Dundas County. The initiative is governed by a steering committee made up of a Dundas County resident and representatives from various local agencies, including the Canadian Mental Health Association, DCFB, EOHU, Glengarry Inter-Agency Group, HOL, Naomi’s Resource Centre, Ontario Works, and the SD&G County Library.

That’s $27,000 to bring a family of four to Kemptville. However, when you drill down into that, you come to realize that those start-up costs of $7,000 could really be potentially
and the government is going to pay half of that $20,000 and you’re going to be paying the other half.” “One of the things R.I.N.G. needs to do is sit down around the table and say okay, I think we could handle a family of six and I don’t think Kemptville really has what it takes to handle anybody with big medical problems, so let’s steer clear of anyone with really serious
medical issues, but if there was an aging parent who came along with them, that would be okay, and school age children, that would be good. When they’re ready to make that decision, I’ll make a record of the family that they’re looking for and when it gets to the application process we can scan – because every week the Government puts out a list of families that are ready to go – and we can say there’s a
family that meets the criteria of R.I.N.G. in Kemptville.” She said once the application is complete, the family could arrive in as little time as six weeks. To date, R.I.N.G. has raised $7,250 – about half the amount needed to sponsor one Syrian family. For more information about R.I.N.G. or to donate online visit www.refugeesng.com.

OPINION

New neighbours
t seems North Grenville will be getting new neighbours. Refugees in North Grenville (R.I.N.G.), a non-partisan community group, is working towards raising funds and facilitating the sponsorship of two Syrian refugee families. Word on the street is this makes some people uncomfortable. Apparently Syrian equals ISIS sympathizer–or terrorist–or drain on the tax base. Or whatever other generalized nonsense people like to theorize. I read an excellent article, titled ‘Saving Family No. 417,’ published in Maclean’s recently. It told the story of a group in Peterborough, just like R.I.N.G. Maclean’s sent someone to Beirut, Lebanon to find the family that the group was sponsoring – a single mother with three children. The article described the trauma endured by this family for years in Syria. How the children hadn’t been to school in two years. How they had run for their lives from persecution and conflict. Never knowing if today would be their last day or if the battle would continue tomorrow. Surviving, but not living. When I hear people say Canada should be helping out its own people before opening the country’s wallet to refugees, I understand their frustration. There are hundreds of thousands of children living in poverty in Ontario alone. I know the figures – they are grim. Canada, as one of the wealthiest countries in the world, consistently fails to address child poverty. Yet our doors are open to children from war-

or two days I have had a migraine. I think it’s because my head has been wrung dry of any more tears. I have been crying at the slightest mention of my silly old geriatric dog Cody, who we had to put to sleep this week. He was in his 17th year. We have been trying to make this decision for a while now, the Farmer and I. Cody the Wonder Dog has been starting to really show his age this past year. First he went stone deaf. Then his hind legs started to give out on him on his daily walk. Then the inevitable loss of control over his bodily functions. I think he started to lose his eyesight as well. The one thing our old Gordon Setter never lost was his appetite. Or his youthful spirit. We knew he was old, but he didn’t. The Farmer adopted Cody about fifteen years ago. The two-year-old dog was rejected by an apartmentdweller who said he received a failing grade in obedience school. That I can believe. The only instruction Cody can follow is “sit.” I also wondered at someone who

torn nations. As they should be and must remain. Those who argue we have enough of our own problems clearly don’t know what problems are. Being shot at is a problem. Insufficient funds to buy nutritious food while living on Ontario Works (social assistance), although a serious problem, seems less life threatening when put into that perspective. To say we should make sure everyone in Canada is living above the poverty line before helping refugees is like saying we need to get rid of all the inept politicians before the next election. Setting impossible standards guarantees inaction. To say we can’t help refugees because we have our own problems is to make the assumption Canadian lives are more valuable than Syrian lives. Humans are humans and we all deserve a chance. Canada is that chance for refugees - a land of freedom and opportunity. A place where you don’t have to worry about being bombed or shot at every day. A place where kids can be kids. I can’t wait to meet our new Syrian neighbours in the future because I know we will have one thing in common – immeasurable gratitude for being in Canada.

thought a Gordon Setter was a good choice for an apartment dog. He is quite large. Cody has only two bad behaviours: he runs away whenever he sees the opportunity, and he has an insatiable appetite, unable to resist the temptation of unattended food. He once ate an entire boneless rib roast that I was defrosting for our Sunday dinner. He didn’t leave a trace. The only evidence was his burp. Cody joined us in the house several times a day, where he would lie on his blanket in front of the TV, next to the fire. On extremely cold or stifling hot nights we would bring him upstairs to sleep beside our bed. But for the most part, he was an outdoor dog. When I
first met Cody I thought it strange that he was always tied up. Surely he can be loose on the property, I thought. I thought wrong. The moment that dog was off his leash, he would bound down the road and into a neighbour’s yard or garage, to check out their garbage. Even when his legs no longer worked, his brain told him to RUN. He made it partway down the road and collapsed, rolling himself out of harm’s way into the ditch. He was brought home by a neighbour more than once. Covered in mud. And so tied up he remained. Perhaps that is why he lived so long – because he couldn’t get into things that might otherwise hurt him. He had a pretty controlled environment. You have to take stairs to get into our house, so eventually even that was a problem for dear old Codesville McCode. If ice coated the steps, he lost his confidence altogether and barked for us to help him in his soft little voice. He lost his loud bark months ago. Finally we decided it was time.
He had a good long life, we told ourselves. But still, it was very difficult. I took Cody’s photo one last time, kissed him on his forehead, wiped his rheumy eyes and said goodbye. The Farmer took him on his final trip to the vet. When I got home that night, everything seemed so quiet. The usual black hairy mass emerging from the shadows to greet me was no longer there. I let myself into the house and gave the Farmer a hug. Silly old dog. We miss him so much. Next, I had to tell the girls. I couldn’t do it over the phone, so I sent an email. There will be something missing from our family gathering this
Sunday. It bops up and down on the porch in front of the kitchen window, ears flapping, barking silently, asking to be let in. To lie on the blanket in front of the fire, for as long as his heavy winter coat can stand. To be with his family. His people. Thanks, Cody, for your years of service as our watchdog, our peoplegreeter, our entertainment and companion. Go now and run, puppybrain. And eat all the dessert.

Mayor and CAO host first media scrum at NGMC on Jan. 19 Mayor David Gordon and CAO Brian Carré are holding bi-monthly media scrums, on Tuesday mornings at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, following Committee of the Whole meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to allow an open forum of questions and conversation between the mayor, CAO and media. These meetings are not closed to the public and any member of the public who wishes to sit-in on the conversations is welcome to do so. The following is a summary of what was discussed at the inaugural media scrum on Jan. 19. Mayor addresses concerns voiced by public about postponed budget and absence of treasurer “This is normal procedure,” said Gordon. “The treasurer is a human resources issue. At this point in time, one of the problems I always faced when it came to our budget, we always wanted to be the first out of the gate and the first to pass it within the county.” He said he felt more com-
fortable with a budget process that was later. He was asked if there was any connection between the postponing of the budget and lack of treasurer. “Absolutely not, we’re not saying that,” said CAO Brian Carré. “First and foremost, I would like to answer the question about why the meeting was postponed. It was a response to a wave. We just finished the Christmas season, we had most of the senior staff away for close to a period of two weeks, and as you all know, approaching Christmas there is somewhat of a wind down and after Christmas there is somewhat of a ramp up. The crest of the wave has reached us now.” He explained the recent rescheduling of the Committee of the Whole meeting set for Jan. 18 (moved to Jan. 25) was due to a light agenda containing three reports. “The subject matters were not urgent and we felt it best, and more efficient, not to invite the public to a meeting for those three reports that would have lasted about 15 to 20 minutes.” He said, with regards to the now vacant Director of Finance and Treasurer Position, the municipality wouldn’t be
making any further comments because it’s a human resources issue. “We are moving forward with the preparation of the budget,” said Carré . “The governance and finances of the municipality are under the management of very competent and capable staff.” He said the task of preparing a budget is not a one-person job. “Absolutely, the reason why we did postpone the budget process was in light of the fact the former treasurer had left the organization,” he said. He was asked specifically whether the departure of the treasurer had anything to do with the state of municipal finances, which was answered with a resounding no. He stated it was merely a human resources matter and warranted no further comment. Carré said a new treasurer is hoped to be in place by March.
the budget. “We’re going to have to work hard,” said Carre. “We’re going to be looking at efficiencies and I think you don’t have to go very far to see where we’ve increased efficiencies, for example looking at some of the positions within the organization.” He explained responsibilities have been combined into a single position, such as Deputy Clerk and Communication Coordinator.

GARDENER’S CORNER
CAO says there will be no tax
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
increase surprise in 2016, barring a catastrophe Carré was asked directly whether there was potential for a municipal tax increase above and beyond the reported 2 per cent annually for the next 10 years to address the infrastructure deficit in North Grenville. “When we adopted the long range financial plan, we stated very clearly that in order to replenish some of the reserves and address our infrastructure deficit, it would be necessary for the municipality to look at an increase of 2 per cent, annually, over a 10 year period,” said Carré. “And at this point, that is going to be adhered to. Why I say at this point, if a catastrophe were to occur, council would certainly have to take the situation and assess it, but as far as I’m concerned, as CAO, we’re adhering to the long-range financial plan.” He was asked whether the 2016 cut to Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding of $250,000 would impact

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

Planning Act discussed Carré was asked whether recent legislative changes in the Planning Act would be implemented in North Grenville. “If they are enhancing and changing the Planning Act with respect to development – if they’re enhancing and changing the Development Charges Act, the Municipality of North Grenville has always adhered to those pieces of legislation and will continue to do so,” said Carré. Status of County Road 43 expansion discussed “We submitted an application in the fall and again it was denied,” said Carré. “There has been no submissions – there have been no new programs. The intent, at this time, is to always submit. The project remains a top priority of Leeds and Grenville. I can tell you, my colleague, CAO (Andy) Brown and I have had some initial discussion about taking the opportunity of being in Toronto at the Ontario Good Roads Conference to possibly meet with the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs about this issue and about how we have been unsuccessful in three attempts to secure funding for this project.”
“Kemptville College continues to be one of the top three priorities in the organization,” said Carré. “As we stated, many times, in order for us to proceed we need to complete a business feasibility study.” He confirmed the study is currently underway, as well as the underground infrastructure assessment. “We continue to have some informal discussions with certain groups, and that’s a fact,” said Carré. “Unfortunately, we’re not able to get into the details of those discussions.” He said the municipality made it very clear to the company conducting the study (BDO Canada) they were not looking at getting a favourable report, if it isn’t favourable. “At the end of the day, we are not looking at failure; if it’s not going to work, then we’re back at where we were in 2014.” “I think it will be a success though,” said Gordon. “There is a client, which we can’t mention or they’ll walk away – plain and simple. They’re leading the charge; they’ve set out the rules. I think, with this player, it will be a success.”

Risks of Heartburn Drugs
What can the stomach tell us about the state of the nation’s health? Plenty! A report in the medical publication, “Life Extension”, states that 40 percent of North Americans suffer from heartburn every month! More appalling, 20 percent experience weekly attacks! So every year doctors write 119 million prescriptions for heartburn, generating 14 billion dollars in sales. But big sales can also mean big side-effects for unsuspecting medical consumers. Dr. Gifford-Jones What can go wrong? Protonpump inhibitors (PPI’s) such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid can ease the feeling of a burning fire under the breastbone. It’s due to an over-indulgence in food and drink which pushes protein digestive enzymes and bile up into the lower end of the esophagus (food tube). This condition is commonly referred to as gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). But there’s a problem. PPIs have been available for many years and were originally marketed for intermittent use, to decrease the production of gastric acid. But people with moderate or severe GERD sometimes rely on them for longterm maintenance use. And there is an old saying that, “Too much of a good thing is often worse than none at all”. One error is made over and over. That’s when humans try to change nature’s normal physiology, resulting in unintended consequences. Consider the similar and numerous troubles that occur when cholesterol-lowering drugs are used for prolonged periods to decrease blood cholesterol! It’s therefore reasonable to expect that when PPIs become a habit, the chronic decrease in gastric acid triggers unintended consequences. For instance, an acid stomach is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12. One study showed that 75 percent of PPI users were deficient in this vitamin. Other studies revealed there was a 4X greater risk of B12 deficiency in long-term users of PPIs. This is not a minor problem as a lack of vitamin B12 can cause anemia, depression, decreased taste, numbness and tingling in the extremities. PPIs also increase the risk of fractures. This is believed to be related to a decrease in calcium absorption from the diet. This can have a negative impact on the amount of calcium that reaches the blood and eventually the bones. Magnesium, an important mineral, is needed for 300 metabolic reactions in the body. But studies show that 32 percent of North Americans are deficient in magnesium even without the use of PPIs. With PPIs added, one study reported that a deficiency in magnesium caused fatigue, unsteadiness, numbness, tingling, seizures, or an irregular heart rate in those taking PPIs for over eight years. But once PPIs were discontinued all these symptoms disappeared. In spite of advances in medicine, heart disease continues to be the number one killer. The use of PPIs appears to be another risk factor. Small particles in the blood called platelets are part of the blood coagulation process. This is why patients who are at risk of developing a blood clot are often placed on anti-platelets medication which helps to keep platelets slippery and less likely to form a clot. But recent studies show that PPIs interfere with the effectiveness of these drugs, increasing the risk of blood clot. In addition, PPIs may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by decreasing the production of nitric oxide that relaxes coronary arteries. Pogo, the cartoon character, was smarter than many humans when he remarked, “We have identified the enemy and the enemy is us.” Intelligent people avoid GERD by limiting calories and losing weight, stopping smoking, limiting the use of Aspirin and other painkillers, and avoiding the “all you can eat and drink” syndrome that produces excessive gas and forces food into the esophagus. Taking GERD seriously can also decrease the risk of an often fatal cancer. During the last 25 years there’s been an alarming increase in esophageal malignancy. It’s due to repeated attacks of heartburn, resulting in chronic inflammation of the lower end of the esophagus, and the start of precancerous changes. Today, in North America, it’s unbelievable that 14 billion dollars are spent yearly on heartburn. One must conclude it’s the brain, not the stomach, that’s the main problem.

The Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) will host its first meeting of the year on Thursday, February 4th, beginning at 10:00am at our new regular home in Ben Franklin Place. This will be our first meeting since the December 10th Special Meeting in Manotick. In no particular order, agenda items for this meeting include: Inquiries & Motions Status Update; City of Ottawa Semi-Annual Performance Report; the Engineer’s Report for the O’Keefe Municipal Drain in Barrhaven; appointment of Robinson Consultants to review drainage works petitions for a development in Innes Ward as well as for the proposed Seabrook development on First Line Road; minor zoning amendments for surplus farm severances at 6345 Garvin Road (Rideau-Goulbourn), 5511, 5537 McCordick Road and 5510 Fourth Line Road (Rideau-Goulbourn), 5985 Frank Kenny Road (Cumberland) and 5063 Upper Dwyer Hill Road (West Carleton-March). Locally, one item on the agenda relates to Manotick and Minto’s Mahogany development. The report deals with development charges and credits provided to Minto for the recovery of sanitary and sewer works within Manotick that directly relate to their development. On another Mahogany note, members of the Manotick Culture, Parks & Recreation Association will present plans for docking and recreation space at Mahogany Harbour, along Manotick Main Street. The MCPRA is looking to work with the City on developing a clear path forward on implementing docks at this location and will be looking to jump start the process with their presentation. The Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee will also hear presentations on traffic calming projects in the rural area as well as a new strategic initiative involving the Heritage Reference List and, more specifically, heritage properties in the rural area. In 2017, distinct historically relevant neighbourhoods, villages and rural areas will be researched and the heritage value of buildings will be evaluated in relation to the local context. Other heritage resources, such as bridges and parks, will also be evaluated. As Chair of ARAC and a member of the Built Heritage Sub-Committee, this is an initiative that I am very much looking forward to working on and I imagine there will be much interest across rural Ottawa. As mentioned earlier, the February 4th meeting of ARAC begins at 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place. All are welcome.

73’s continue to climb CCHL standings Brian Wilson
On Thursday, January 21, the team travelled to Cornwall to once again take on the Colts, to complete the home and home series. Kemptville earned a 3-2 victory the previous Sunday and were hoping to continue their recent winning ways. The 73’s notched the only goal of the first period. It was Bobby Dow’s thirteenth of the year set up by Jack Hale. Early in the second, the Colts got the equalizer, but Kemptville came back with two goals four minutes apart. Scoring his sixth of the season, was Matt Titus, with the assists going to Quinn Wichers and Tyson Kirkby. That was followed by another Jason Tackett marker with the helpers going to Matt Tugnutt and Brandon Cole. Cornwall got one back before the end of the period to make the score 3-2 for Kemptville at the break. In the third period, the 73’s added one more to their lead when Jake Gaudet scored. Victor Tracy and Cam Russell got the assists. Adam Alavi made it a 5-2 game with just over two minutes remaining in the third. Wichers and Tracy each picked up their second assists of the game. The Colts were able to add one more to their total before the final buzzer. With Kemptville’s 5-3 victory, they had overtaken Cornwall in the standings to move into seventh place overall. Victor Tracy was selected as the first star while Nic Hodgins, having faced 41 shots, got the second star. Sunday, January 24, saw the 73’s travel to Navan to face the Cumberland Grads. The Grads are currently in second place overall in the league. It would be a game that would be a measuring stick for the teams progress. The Grads opened the scoring but the 73’s were able to tie the game before the end of the first. Tyson Kirkby and Neil Samanski set up Cameron Bisson’s marker. The second period was all Kemptville as they scored three times. Alex Row scored his twelfth of the year, Adam Alavi, his tenth and Matt Tugnutt, his 22. Picking the assists were Brandon Cole, Matt Titus, Kaelan O’Flynn, Jason Tackett and Alavi. Tugnutt’s goal was a shorthanded effort. With the Kemptville holding a 4-1 lead after two, the third period would prove to be interesting. Cumberland scored to make it 4-2 nine minutes into the frame. A minute and a half later, Tackett scored his twenty-second of the year

SandS allan Garnet
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Garnet Sands on January 18, 2016 in his 78th year after an incredible fight against cancer. Garnet leaves behind his most cherished wife and life partner Ruby (nee Beaupre) of 36 years. Survived by three sons he cherished, Terry (Patti), Daryl (Karen), Rick (Sherri). Garnet leaves four adoring daughters who cherished him beyond words as their Paw and who are grateful to Garnet’s sons for sharing him for 36 years… Karen (Meryl Lowe) Brenda (Jim Jarvis), Cathy (Kevin Molloy), Diana (Ted Mallory). He cherished his 11 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and a special great grandson to be born May 2016. Garnet was also cherished and will be missed by special nephew Ernie Beaupre (Adele), whom he loved and thought of like a son. Garnet was the son of the late Charles and IdaBelle (Covey)Sands. Survived and will be missed by siblings Audrey Healey, Betty Bouchard, Clara Woods, Wayne Sands and Sandra Cleveland. Predeceased by brothers Gerald, Earl and Charles Sands and survived by sister-in-laws, Dorothy (late Gerald) and Marjorie (late Earl) Sands. Also survived by Ruby’s siblings and their families as well as numerous nieces and nephews that he enjoyed so much and many great friends. Garnet and his family wanted to express a tremendous thank-you to so many. Dr. Hilary Lawson… he often said you were his hero… you went above an beyond in ways we will never forget… you walked every step of this difficult journey with us. To Dr. Nimish Parikh for your guidance and compassion. Hospital palliative care nurses Janet and Dawn for your wonderful support. Beverley McFarlane, CEO, SFCH for your friendship and support, nurses, 2nd. Floor Med Surg., SFCH, he became fond of so many and was always so grateful for your care. MaryPat Bingley for your wonderful friendship and support and Lucy Bingley for your incredibly sweet gifts to Paw, your music, the game of checkers and your gift of feeding all of us dinner at the hospital, Dr. Melanie Paquin-Gobeil, Queensway Carleton Hospital who Garnet felt was also one of his heroes, as did we. You were instrumental in giving us the gift of precious time when Garnet needed emergency surgery in November… Dr. Scott Laurie and Dr. Gad Perry, Oncologists @ Queensway Carleton Hospital who both from the beginning of Garnet’s cancer journey supported both Paw and Mom with an incredible positive step by step approach to living with cancer. Garnet truly thought the world of all of his Drs. and nurses and they all so fondly claimed him to be such a wonderful patient. Also a special thank-you to D3 nurses at Queensway Carleton Hospital for the awesome care after emergency surgery in November. Garnet handled cancer the way he handled life itself… head on, step by step, with a positive attitude and his greatest concern always being his family. He amazed us all this past few months, his Drs., family, many nurses and friends. During visits he was the one always trying to make things easier on everyone with his sense of humour and compassion for others including hospital roommates whom he would always look out for often saying, “check to see if he needs a warm blanket”! As you can tell this man was special beyond measure… Our hearts are broken about losing his physical presence but grateful he no longer will battle this horrible disease. We will go forward proudly, as he would want, with all the lessons learned and memories of the love he so freely gave. Paw you always thought of Mom and family first and our lives are all richer because of you. Your incredible love for each of us left us with hearts full of memories that neither cancer or death can steal from us. If there is a reward in heaven for being, “The Best Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa Garnie”, then we have no doubt that you were welcomed with open arms and are enjoying your reunion with family and friends gone before you. We will miss you forever and carry your love in our hearts to guide us through the difficult days ahead. As Garnet requested cremation has taken place… there will be no visitation or funeral. A private family memorial will take place at a later date.

The Perth Military Settlement was founded in 1816 by disbanded soldiers from the War of 1812 and settlers from Great Britain, who arrived as part of a strategic plan to secure Upper Canada in the event the United States should again attack British North America.
that will continue for generations to come. “I am so pleased that proceeds from the sale of the calendar will be directed to a scholarship to be granted annually to a local student who has been accepted into an apprenticeship, college or university program and who
has demonstrated a keen interest in history,” adds Lanark County Warden Gail Code, deputy reeve of Drummond /North Elmsley. With over 200 events to participate in and so much history to explore, creating a calendar seemed the best way to provide the information. A resident of
Tay Valley Township, designer Annie Dalton gathered settlement maps, archival and family photos, and verified the historical summaries to create the calendar. Richard Kidd, Reeve Beckwith Township, comments, “The calendar is not only a keepsake of the 200th Anniversary but with the events from all four municipalities, you will be able to plan your participation in the 200th Anniversary year.” Each month throughout 2016 is filled with various 200th Anniversary events and activities that are happening in the participating municipalities over the year. “This is everybody’s birthday,” says John Gemmell, Deputy Mayor, Town of Perth. “So each of the municipalities is gearing up for a number of signature events to celebrate it.” Beckwith will host a Jock River Paddle, Franktown Lilac Festival, Pioneer Days, and Richmond Road Military Walk. Drummond /North Elmsley will host a DNE Heritage Day, Pioneer Maple Days, Celebrate Balderson Day, Discover Drummond Day, and Settlers’ Trail
Unveiling. The Town of Perth will hold a Fire & Ice Winter Festival; Ontario Town Crier Championships, and Blast from the Past block party. Tay Valley Township will hold a Tay Bells Winter Celebration, Scotch Line History Fair, Settlers’ Trail Unveiling, Settler Heritage Days and Lanark County Plowing Match, and a Betwixt and Between Heritage Dinner Dance. The calendar lists these events and many more and is a beautiful walk through the townships’ history. Selling for $10, they are going fast! Calendars are available at municipal and county offices, the Perth Museum, and select local businesses. Tay Valley Township is coordinating distribution of the calendars on behalf of the Joint 200th Anniversary Committee (made up of the Township of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, the Town of Perth and Tay Valley Township.)

Left, Nicola Mains puts some finishing touches on the dessert tray. Below, here are just two volunteers of the Drummond North Elmsley 200th anniversary working group.

The successful year-long book project, culminating of those pictured here, including Nicola Mains, Casin the creation of Beckwith Then and Now, couldn’t sandra McGregor, Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd, have been the success that it was without the help Rosemary and Tim Campbell.
Beckwith launches 200th anniversary book A large crowd gathered at the Beckwith Public School gym Jan. 17 as Beckwith Township continued its 200th anniversary celebrations with the launch of a new book. Beckwith Then and Now, a hardcover, 224-page book divided up into the four seasons, chronicles the rich history of the township, important stories, recipes, interesting facts, coupled with many historical photos. Of note, the foreword was written by the Governor General of Canada, David Johnston, who maintains a residence in the township with his wife, Sharon. “Sharon and I are delighted to join our neighbours and friends in celebrating the 200th anniversary of Beckwith Township,” he wrote. “Like many who have lived here
before us – and those who have yet to arrive – we are proud to call this little part of Canada home,” Johnston continued. The governor general called home many things: “a place to raise a family and to establish friendships; a place to make memories and to dream of what will come.” “Beckwith is all these things and so much more, thanks to the generations of resident who have helped to shape it into what it is today,” Johnston said. Five-hundred copies of the book have been printed, which has been dedicated to the brave pioneers who travelled in the early 1800s from Europe to carve out a new home in the wilderness of Beckwith. Readers
Laurie Weir/METROLAND
can find information on agricultural fairs, Beckwith’s one-room schools, and the 2003 International Plowing Match. At the Jan. 17 launch, several of the recipes featured in the book were used to create the hors d’oeuvres for guests. As well, many interpretive displays were showcased. Beckwith is part of the original Perth Military Settlement, which was established in 1816 and includes the Town of Perth and the townships of Drummond/North Elmsley and Tay Valley. Beckwith Then and Now is available for $45 and can be purchased at the Beckwith Township municipal office. With files from Tara Gesner.
2016 marks the 200th Anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement. To help celebrate we will be running this special feature once a month starting December 31st, highlighting the history of Perth and its surrounding townships as well as a monthly event calendar.

GRACEY, Elwin – In memory of our dear husband, father, grandpa and great grandpa who passed away one year ago today January 28, 2015. We often sit and think about the year that has 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, sadly missed and always remembered by Shirley, Sheila, Arnold, Korey, Laura and great grandson Griffin
George Anthony (Tony) Rubino B.A., L.L.B. Hard to believe it has been twenty five years. Would the wheeling and dealing still be going on? Would the TR6 still be around or would it have been replaced by a Miata? Would you be teaching your grand kids how to water ski and how to fish? Who knows what you would look like at 74 years of age? Unanswerable questions. At least we had the benefit of 48 years. Carl and Josie
COADY, Carmel - In remembrance of a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who left this earth, January 31, 2013.

God has her in His keeping, We have her in our hearts. Life is not forever… our love is. Doug, Deb, Erin, Michael and family

Love you, and give our love to dad, Irvin, as well, in Jesus’ arms since January 2008. Daughter #4, Leah Williams on behalf of all 7 of us, and 20 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren

“Hi Brian Further on your battery problem covered in a recent issue of the EMC. We were having trouble with our 2013 Escape. We had two incidences in the first winter of the battery needing replacement after going flat (thank you, Ford warranty). It turned out the problem was as you described: too many short trips, starting in cold weather, and the ongoing drain from all those intelligent features (remote start, etc.). What saved our bacon was a Battery Tender. We now plug the car in whenever necessary (most times). This device plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and we haven’t had any trouble since in two winters. So I’d highly recommend this. Thanks for your interesting column, GA” Thanks for the great tip. I had a chance to review the Battery Tender products a few years back and they are well worth the money. They

guide is more than 40-years-old and is silent on such items as airbags and electronic stability control. The new regulations include these items and much more such as a written inspection report. While most repair shops that have been contacted indicate the new items won’t drastically increase the time taken to complete the inspection and report, they don’t expect the fees to remain as they were previously. This inspection now requires a mandatory road test by a licensed technician. While the final draft has yet to be posted on the MTO website, you can find a preliminary copy at http://www.ontariocanada.com/registry/showAttachment.do?postingId=18062&att achmentId=27411. Keep in mind this inspection only covers a certain portion of the vehicle’s systems and only attests to their condition on the day of the inspection. It should never be used as an indication of the value of any vehicle nor its likelihood to provide relatively reliable service. Buyer beware A good and respected friend (well experienced in the auto business) passed along a story of a very detailed scam lately and it’s worth covering here. True car nuts never let the distance between them and the vehicle they’re after stop them from making a deal. Online shopping for used vehicles is quite common today and you might be surprised at the number of buyers who pay out for the car of their dreams, sight unseen. This friend recently found a great deal online for a popular sports car listed at just the right price. The vehicle was located out of province but as I mentioned distance is often not a factor. He took the time to do some research on the seller and the freight company that would be involved in shipping the car. The seller gladly forwarded a copy of the
vehicle ownership and their driver’s licence along with a vehicle inspection report and emission test certificate. All looked completely normal. Some online sleuthing by my friend turned up a well populated and used Facebook account belonging to the seller and a full authentic-looking website for the shipping company. The seller was looking for a bank-to-bank transfer of funds which anyone would tell you is much safer than using PayPal or forwarding a money order or using a credit card. The reason given for selling the car was a move out of the country for employment reasons. Everywhere my friend looked online made this sale seem like a legitimate deal, but he is known to be a doubting Thomas, so he kept digging. Finally he found a report of a used vehicle scam in the UK with so many details that matched his find that he knew he was about to fall for the same ruse. Of course he didn’t forward any money and he contacted Facebook to report a possible fraudulent use of their site. He was amazed at the details in this attempt and the time it must have taken to create all the various documents and social media profiles, but if there’s illegal money to be made and an Internet-connected computer at hand, time isn’t much of a barrier. 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.
