An Ottawa-based design company will bring a strong conviction to environmental, social and ecological sustainability when it moves to Smiths Falls this spring. The firm, prototypeD, has purchased 33 acres of land on Rideau Avenue where they plan to set build their studio headquarters and other community-driven opportunities. “There’s so much potential there for things that we could only do in Smiths Falls,” said Janak Alford, CEO and founder of prototypeD. They selected the Smiths Falls area for its availability of inexpensive land, the presence of infrastructure such as fibre optics, close proximity to Ottawa and an available work force. “We hope to train and employ a lot more people to make sure we have the work force to meet our demand,” Alford said. The company’s first phase will be to build a new 2,500Submitted photo square foot, two-storey studio on the property.

Homan/Hogan Charity Bonspiel rocks ls a iv r r A g in r p S more than $6,200 for spinal cord injuries R0013165039/0305
It’s fitting that Mark Homan and his rink were the victors of the inaugural Homan/Hogan Charity Bonspiel, a cause the Ontario junior curling champion has thrown his name behind, but the real winner is Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, who received $6,772. The first bonspiel to benefit those with spinal cord injuries was held at the Smiths Falls Curling and Squash Club Feb. 28 and March 1. In the “A” final, the Homan team took the winner’s purse from the local Kerfoot team. Gord Walton’s team earned the “B” final win over Ken Campbell’s rink, and Perth skip Bob Day and his team took the “C” final victory away from Rick McGrath’s rink. “It was an awesome (event),” noted organizer Dan Andress, whose Andress’ Independent Grocer and 4° Brewing Company served as title sponsors. “I’m really happy with raising over $6,000 for a first-time event. It was very, very well received. People were watching all the time and it was great to see the curling club so busy with lots of Ashley Kulp/METROLAND interest.” The inaugural Homan/Hogan Charity Bonspiel to benefit Fourteen teams signed on Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, was held Feb. 28 and March 1 at to participate in the inaugural event, which Andress quickly the Smiths Falls Curling and Squash Club.

His rink would go on to win the event. he said. “…We’re going for 24 teams next year!” Andress credited fellow organizers Nick Ritchie and Andrew Howard with spearheading the Homan/Hogan Charity Bonspiel. It was important to the trio to host a fundraising event during the winter months. “Nick and I were at a fundraising golf tournament talking about how busy it is with fundraising in the summer. There’s nothing in the winter, so we thought we could do a fundraiser through a bonspiel.” Andress asked Homan and his rink, third Ryan McCrady, second Paul Winford and lead Ron Hrycak, to become involved after the grocery store sponsored the team at the 2014 Traveler’s Tankard held in Smiths Falls. “I got to know that team and I thought having Mark a part of this bonspiel would make it a good draw and Mark was more than happy gether, serving as the ambassador in a wheelchair.

and what he’s been through and we were very happy when he said he would be the ambassador,” Andress said. Taking in some curling on Saturday, Hogan said he was humbled at the chance to support and raise awareness for Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, an organization that has personally helped him. “I think this is a fantastic opportunity for me, having been put in this situation, to reach out, first to the town and to anybody in my situation that there are people out there that do care and are trying to improve accessibility and awareness for people in my situation,” he stated. “The fact that Dan has helped champion this and gathered the sponsors, most being local… it touches your heart,” Hogan added. Hogan admitted the Town of Smiths Falls is lacking in making their public facilities and businesses accessible to all and he hopes this bonspiel raises awareness of the importance to do so. “The Town of Smiths Falls has a long way to go,” he said. “Buildings are older and it takes work to get there, but at the same time, it’s very important. We have quite a few younger people in our area that have had spinal cord injuries in Smiths Falls that need to be able to live with as much freedom as anyone else.” See BONSPIEL page 4

To drive his point home, Hogan encouraged local business owners to spend a day in a wheelchair to understand the obstacles faced by those who spend every day in one. “I’d like them to try to go into their businesses or places of business around them to realize what it takes or what it’s going to take to have that part of the community coming into workplaces, restaurants or homes,” he stressed.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.
By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894
This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability
of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.
Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694
Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

GARDENER’S CORNER
The light of our lives
Angie and I have both noticed the quality of the light in the last few days. The sun is creeping higher in the sky and when we get sun, the shadows are long and sustained. Spring is coming. It got me thinking about light. It really is the basis for all life on earth. Photosynthesis gives us everything we need to survive. Solar radiation keeps us warm and has grown all the things that have given us the fossil fuels we have come to rely on. And it grows all our food. Physicists have been arguing for centuries whether light was a particle or a wave. It turns out that light will behave as both, depending on the circumstances. Light is very flexible. It is the essence of life. Light is the complete opposite of darkness. Light is for growth and darkness is for rest. We need both. When you plan your garden, and the plants you want to grow, light is the biggest factor. Soil is big, water is big but light is the determining factor. Every plant has different requirements for light. You need to know what they require. Angie and I have learned this the hard way. By trial and error. We have slowly learned which plants do best in different light conditions. The tags on the plant will give you a good start but we have found that some of the tags are a little optimistic. Light is key to our survival. It provides
R0013154430_0305
the oxygen we breathe. It grows all our food. It illuminates our lives. Light is synonymous with good. White hat versus black hat. We welcome the longer days and more light. More of the life giving energy. Light is something we take for granted. Until there is a shortage. The long winter months are when many suffer from SAD ( seasonal affective disorder). We need light. The ice storm of 1998 brought that home. Everything was dark and cold and quiet. Never was the importance of light more obvious. When the power was restored we were jubilant. Not because we were cold but because we had been deprived of light. The cold and the snow of winter are depressing but I think the lack of light is the biggest contributing factor to our fatigue. When we are bathed in light we are alive. It’s the same for plants and the animals. The good news is that it’s getting better every day. In a few weeks we will be planting seeds. A few weeks after that, digging in the soil. The light is changing. The birds know it, the ducks and chickens know it and we know it. With every week we can feel the change. It is the light of our lives. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Skating at the beginning
On Sunday, Feb. 8 the Kemptville Skating Club treated parents to an afternoon of showcasing the skills their skaters have been working on this season. In preparation for EOSIC the older skaters performed their Solos while the Precan, Canskaters and Intro skaters demonstrated the skills they have been learning. In this photo three program assistants, Brianna Clapham on the left, Genevieve Bowlby on the right and Alicia Leblanc in the back watch over these young skaters. Check the club’s Facebook page and the bulletin board at the rink for club updates.

Have you tried hearing aids before but didn’t like the plugged up feeling? You will be amazed at how comfortable and natural sounding they are. After a few minutes, you will not even notice that you are wearing them. Never before have hearing aids been this comfortable and easy to adapt to.
Are they visible? With only very thin tubing going into your ears, most people will not notice that you are wearing hearing aids. What they will notice is how well you are hearing.

The support has been great, the supplements easy to take and being accountable to my diary has given me the tools tI needed to achieve my goal.” Written By Debbie Turner.

Most unusual fashion show
Andrea Struthers models the latest “Ball gown” at the New Horizon Club’s “Most Unusual Fashion Show” held on Feb. 11 at the Burritt’s Rapids Community Centre. Andrea’s gown is decorated with completely recyclable balls which can even be saved for next year’s Christmas tree. Other models included Janet Glaves, Kim Holland, Joyce McKay, Shirley Price, Jean Travers, Karin and Klaus Weirspecker. All models used their creativity and ingenuity to come up with tongue in cheek ideas as they displayed: stove pipe pants, a pillbox hat, pencil skirt, box-pleated skirt, baby doll pajamas, beehive hairdo, turtle neck sweater, toilet tissue dress, double breasted suit, port pie hat, and a muscle shirt, well displayed by Klaus. If you missed this seniors’ event, keep an eye on the programs to come. All seniors are welcome to join the New Horizon Club.

November 2, 1918Perth, Ontario February 23, 2015 Calgary, Alberta Marion Weldon (nee Larocque) passed away peacefully in Calgary, on February 23, 2015 at the age of 96 years. Mum was born in Perth, Ontario on November 2, 1918 into a family of 11 children and was the last surviving Larocque.

She has 9 grandchildren: Christopher (31), Stacey (29), Victoria (26), Michael (24), Stephanie (26), James (24), Matthew (8), Katherine (6) and Rachel (6).

Mum was an avid gardener and very talented in the kitchen, to the delight of her husband and three children. She was an amazing mother and never missed a game, practice or championship in which her children and grandchildren competed and was always cheering passionately and loudly from the sidelines. She enjoyed all the activities and time she spent with other residents of both the Edgemont Retirement Residence, followed by the Brentwood Care Center. Thank you to all the staff at the Edgemont and Brentwood for their care and compassion. Mum had a great heart and a passion for living throughout her whole life with an excellent sense of humor and a sharp wit and she leaves behind many dear friends from all across Canada.

IN MEMORIAM
ROBERT (BOB) BROWN March 5 2014 One year ago today our family lost a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. During his three month battle he was cared for by loving family, many compassionate nurses and doctors. After he passed many came to pay their respect to a man who had touched many lives. For that we are deeply thankful. It’s hard to believe it has been a whole year without him. Many of you may not be aware but shortly before dad passed he began to study the bible, he became at peace with what would happen. He will be delighted when the words based on the bible come to life. All those a-sleep who in Gods memory stay, from death he will a-wake-en. Then we’ll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally. You will be forever in our thoughts until God calls you to stand. Lovingly remembered always by your wife Carmaine Children: Jen, Sue & Tom, Bob & Carla, Grandchildren: Cody, Catlin, Dustin, Ashley & Kyle, Zack & Chelsea, Nick, Hanna, Reid, Gaige, Sam & Addison P.S. Sorry dad we had to pay the taxes LOL
KENNEY, Lorraine – In loving memory of Lorraine Kenney, our dearest sister who left us March 8, 2007. No one ever was more patient, Even when in greatest pain, She was always kind and gentle, With thought for those who with her stayed. “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” Sandra and Tom Jones and family
MYERS, Don - In loving memory of my husband Don who passed away March 4, 2003. It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side. But to all there comes a moment, When the ways of life divide. Please hold him in your arms dear Lord, And treasure him with care. Make up for all he suffered, And all he had to bear. Please whisper in his ear, Dear Lord In case he didn’t hear How much we truly loved him, and wished that he were here. Loving Memory Shirley & Family
