LOCAL THERAPIST, VICTIM SERVICES PLEAD FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT CRISIS CENTRE PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com

insideottawavalley.com

One in three women and one in six men are survivors of sexual violence, but only five per cent of victims report to police. These statistics come from Victim Services executive director Sonya Jodoin and local therapist, Meagan Cumming, of Compassionate Support for Stressful Times in Kemptville. The duo made a deputation at the March 19 council meeting to request that council advocate for a sexual assault centre to be established in North Gren-

ville, as Leeds and Grenville is one of only three counties across Ontario that do not have a sexual assault crisis centre funded by the Ministry of the Attorney General. Jodoin pointed out that while other communities with sexual assault crisis centres receive ministry funding, Leeds and Grenville as well as Lanark County are skipped. "For whatever reason, it didn't happen when they were rolling out the program, and I don't know why," she said. "It's an issue we've been addressing with the minister's office for years. Everywhere else in

the province has access to this resource except for you guys." While the ministry does provide funding for Victim Services, the organization doesn't offer counselling, among other much-needed resources for local victims. Hospital-based sexual assault services are also government-funded, but by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Cumming specializes in childhood abuse and sexual violence. "I've noticed a gap in services," she said. "I have a lot of clients and I'm only seeing the victims who can afford counselling." At $140/

"I want to make sure that all the survivors in our community have access to the services that they need." Cumming proposed a sexual assault centre for North Grenville that would be comprehensive, inclusive, and accessible, which would offer counselling services, group services, advocacy, and public education around prevention. "I want to make sure that services are accessible to all genders," she continued. "The majority of sexual assault centres are funded for women, but the reality is that we do have male survivors as well, and people who don't fit into that spectrum." She added that 60 per cent of sexual abuse and assault victims are under the age of 17. "This isn't just an issue for our community members, but for our children," she said. As North Grenville is a growing rural community, Cumming said she'd also like to ensure that the services are accessible to new residents moving in and residents that may not have the appropriate means of transportation to the centre. As such, she stressed the need for more flexible services and perhaps a mobile model for the sexual assault centre. She hopes

THE ISSUE: SEXUAL ASSAULT LOCAL IMPACT: LEEDS AND GRENVILLE IS ONE OF ONLY THREE COUNTIES IN ONTARIO THAT DO NOT HAVE A SEXUAL ASSAULT CRISIS CENTRE FOR LOCAL SURVIVORS. THIS MEANS THOSE COUNTIES DO NOT RECEIVE ANY FUNDING FROM THE MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT RESOURCES AND SERVICES. TWO LOCAL PROFESSIONALS REQUESTED COUNCIL'S SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY IN ESTABLISHING ONE OF THESE CENTRES TO FILL A GAP IN SERVICES FOR VICTIMS IN NORTH GRENVILLE to work collaboratively with the community to make this a reality. Jodoin offered some insight into the history of

sexual assault in Leeds and Grenville and where the county stands now in terms of offering resources to sexual assault victims. She explained that in Ontario, there is a number of services, but three in particular are government-funded and mandated to provide services to victims of sexual violence. They are Victim Services, hospital-based treatment and sexual assault crisis centres. "The issue is that Leeds and Grenville has never had a funded sexual assault crisis centre from the Ministry of the Attorney General's office," said Jodoin. "They don't take the portion that should come to this community and give it to an existing organization - we just don't get it." The ministry is currently evaluating a lot of their programs and distribution of funding. "Steve Clark's office has been working with us quite a bit on this and in fact, at one point, he was one of the only people helping us with this issue," said Jodoin. "He is very well-informed and very supportive. I would encourage - if you guys feel that this is an issue in your community - that there be some level of communication with him about it."

KEMPTVILLE FARMERS' MARKET OPENS FOR SEASON MAY 19 PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com As we welcome spring, the Kemptville Farmers' Market board is brainstorming some fun new events and activities for the approaching market season. In February, the new board held their transition meeting from the previous board and decided that their first order of business would be to remove the ban on dogs at the market. Since then, Bruce Enloe has joined the board as community liaison and Joanne Krock has been dubbed vice chair. The team is planning out their market schedule for this spring and summer, which includes a grand opening celebration on the first market day of the season on Sunday, May 19. The event will showcase seasonal sweets such as local hon-

ey and maple syrup, featuring maple cupcakes, maple fudge and a live beehive for guests to check out from Clearydale Honey. There will also be live music and a kids' corner with lots of fun activities. The new farmers' market board members are as follows: Beth Tilbury (chair), Joanne Krock (vice chair), Shaunna Wolfe (secretary), Catherine ten Den (treasurer), Bruce Enloe (community liaison), Lois Wiseman (special events co-ordinator) and Nancy Olive (advertising and marketing). Wiseman will be revamping some of the popular market events like the Strawberry Social in June and the Corn Roast in August. Friends of the Farmers' Market, Deron Johnston and John Barclay, will continue to help the board in an advisory capacity. The board is currently

male, and they're primarily police referral-based. They connect victims to the services that they need, but do not offer counselling. They respond to about 13 distinct types of situations, of which sexual assault is one. Considering the statistic that only five per cent of victims report to police puts the organization's numbers alarmingly high for the estimated volume of sexual assault victims in Leeds and Grenville. From 2015-2016, Victim Services received 110 referrals of sexual assault victims from police. This increased to 198 over 20162017 and came down to 149 over 2017-2018. "Halfway through the 2018-2019 year, we were at 152 referrals," said Jodoin. "If the statistic applies,

Local journalism makes a difference. Support us by registering at insideottawavalley.com we're looking at 14,140 people in our community that have been sexually assaulted in the last four years alone." Cumming said the Me Too social media movement raised a collective awareness about the prevalence of sexual violence and got the conversation started, but that there's still a lot more work that needs to be done in general and locally. "Now, we as a community need to respond by making these services accessible to the victims that live near us," she said. Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman asked for

clarification on what the ask is of council. "We're asking you to help Steve Clark in pushing this issue, because this is the time when funding is being distributed and determined, and if you can amplify our voice and support us in making sure that the right people are hearing our need for these services, we really hope we can make this happen after two decades of trying," Cumming replied. Coun. John Barclay wondered if council could write a letter requesting support from neighbouring municipalities to advance the establishment of

a local sexual assault centre. "It's amazing to me that we've fallen between the cracks and we don't have a centre to serve our community," he said. Mayor Nancy Peckford vowed that council will work on drafting a letter to request support from MPP Steve Clark and the Ministry of the Attorney General. "I do hope that through Minister Clark's ongoing support, we'll find a way to manoeuvre through this issue with us at his side, so the residents of North Grenville and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville don't need to be short changed," she said. "There's no reason for that this seems to be a longstanding injustice, and hopefully we can support Minister Clark in responding."

Community-based sexual assault centres provide free and confidential services to survivors of sexual violence, including crisis helplines, peer support, counselling services, referrals to other community services and accompaniment to a court, hospital, or police station.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

Now, the executive director has teamed up with a local therapist in Kemptville to request that North Grenville council do their part in requesting better support for victims of sexual assault in the community from the county and the province.

HERE'S HOW WE BECOME A TOURIST DESTINATION THIS AREA HAS PLENTY TO OFFER VISITORS, WRITES DIANA FISHER DIANA FISHER Column

I love to travel. I also love my home. I find it fascinating, when travelling, to realize that in most cases, the places I want to see and the things I want to do are all connected to the local culture. I want to eat what the locals eat, hang out where they do, and enjoy a glimpse of their daily lives. Maybe we should try to do the same in North Grenville. We could become the prime tourism destination for people visiting the Nation's Capital who really want to see small town Canada. When my husband the Farmer was the Professor, he took part in a tour of a community in Nova Scotia that had embraced tour-

ism. It seemed like everyone in the community was opening their home and business to visitors in some way. There were bed and breakfast spots that offered great trails for hiking and photography. Some catered to those who wanted to learn how to cook the local cuisine. Others were located on farms, where guests were invited to take part in the daily routine of care for the animals and harvesting vegetables for dinner. It's like when you go to Europe and you take a tour of cheese factories, vineyards, cafés, and scenic areas. You want to see and experience the best that the region has to offer. We can do that. We have plenty to offer. If you operate a local business, be it a hobby farm, an Adirondack chair factory or a maple sugar

bush, I would encourage you to explore ways in which you can offer tours, workshops and hands-on experiences for tourists. Then get connected with local travel agents, tourism websites, blogs and accommodations. As for making our area more hospitable to tourists, there are a few obvious things that we need to consider. We need a large, affordable hotel. I understand that once again, a feasibility study is being conducted to prove that we have the traffic to support this kind of business. It's not like in bygone eras where every village had a hotel. Now you have to have sustainable traffic flow of something like 50,000 people a year in order to make it cost effective and profitable. Of course, turning the dorm rooms of the former Kemptville College into a hotel seems like an obvious conclusion. I don't know what the plans are yet for that building but it seems

silly that we can't take advantage of those existing accommodations - especially during Kemptville Live Music Festival weekend, sports tournaments and other local events. Something tells me that if we were in Europe, our still-useful buildings would already be repurposed. Europeans are very good at recycling real property. Once we have room for people to sleep, we need them to park somewhere. If the school board manages to find a buyer for our old high school on Prescott Street and it is deemed unfeasible to turn it into condos or a retirement home or something, they might consider a paid parking lot. Goodness knows we need parking downtown. I realize those bump outs were meant to slow down through traffic but they ate up some of our parking

spaces. Not ideal. Finally, I would like to see what the plans are for the Bridge Street bridge. There was a time when we could drive small boats right under it. Now the creek bed needs to be dredged to make room for the engines. But if we are looking at rebuilding the bridge anyway, wouldn't it make sense to look at other options as well? We once had big steamships coming into the centre of Kemptville on a regular basis. Has the south branch of the Rideau changed so much? Imagine if we could lure boaters in off the Rideau to the centre of Old Town for lunch, or to stay overnight like they do in Merrickville and Manotick. I think we need to enter-

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE WHEN CHANGING HEALTH CARE The PC government of Ontario has proven time and again that it will blindly follow ideology and feed a narrow base over the common good. But with the recently announced changes to the province's $60-billion health care system, the Progressive Conservatives show they are willing to risk the optics and listen to apolitical experts. They should continue to follow evidence and best practices when it comes to the most controversial elements of the system: privatization. Premier Doug Ford made it clear that health care along with job creation and a balanced budget - is a top priority. However, when considering the approach in other major areas such as education, instead of a modern sex-ed curriculum that recognized internet dangers and LGBTQ rights, Ford chose to pander to a minority in his base. Ontario now has a curriculum from 1998. Another example is the cancellation of the Ontario Basic Income Pilot project. This was an idea championed by high profile - albeit moderate - conservatives such as Senator Hugh Segal. Provide the opportunity for every citizen to receive in one stream all their payouts from government. No more getting a little bit from the Canadian Pension Plan, a little bit from social services, various tax rebates. But Ford ditched the $50-million-ayear project for 4,000 low-income citizens (over three years) before any data was collected and analyzed. Good governance is following the evidence, not pushing it off the cliff. Usually past behaviour is the best indicator of future directions, but the Ford government has shown a little more complexity as of late. Past conservative governments at both the national and provincial levels have talked of empowering the grassroots, common man and woman. Yet with the People's Health Care Act, announced earlier this month, we don't see Queen's Park relaxing its influence to allow more flexibility at disparate local levels. Before the announcement, critics must have been preparing to lambast Ford for washing his hands of Ontario's cherished health care system; of refusing to defend a crucial component of our identity. They didn't get the chance. And they didn't because Ford went in the opposite direction. With the new superagency that will replace 14 Local Health Integration Networks, along with agencies the Ford government assumes all responsibility for the fate of Ontario's health care system. Ford needs to continue to follow the evidence, best practices, and continue to listen to apolitical experts in the health care system.

"If people know about these few simple things that they can find in the wild, they can make medicines for themselves and their families," she said. "It's just wonderful." But it's not all just about medicine - it's about food, as well. Van Eyk's spring herb walk will explore tonic herbs like violet, chickweed, dandelion, and stinging nettle, which are very nutritious and can be simply eaten as a salad or made into a pesto.

She recently opened her new wellness clinic where she offers private health consultations and plans to host herb walks and workshops this season in an effort to show locals the amazing powers of some of the herbs that you can find in your own backyard. Van Eyk makes her products at home and harvests the majority of the ingredients herself. The Kemptville Advan-

ce visited her home clinic on March 19 to learn more. "I gather the herbs from my gardens and the wild, and then I infuse them in different kinds of mediums to extract the medicine," she explained. Van Eyk was working on a calendula healing salve with an olive oil base, but she also uses safflower and hemp oils as they all have different ways of helping medicine be absorbed into the skin. The calendula was grown in her garden at home. "Picking the calendula myself and processing it when it's fresh is part of what makes it so good," she said. The healing salves contain herbal oils, vitamin E, beeswax, and essential oils. This year, Van Eyk plans to teach people how to make their own simple first aid kit using wild herbs such as plantain,

It plays at the Merrickville Community Centre, Thursday and Friday, April 5 and 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 7 at 2 p.m., with a pop-up choir performance at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 See merrickvilletheatre.org to purchase, or call 613-269-2150 to reserve.

As we recognize the collective efforts of volunteers, we reflect on the multitude of actions taken locally to help people, communities and neighbourhoods become better prepared to respond to the unexpected, and better positioned for a more sustainable future. We see it everyday! Volunteers leading neighbourhood activities, lifting the collective confidence to solve common issues. Volunteers tutoring people to read, lifting their self-esteem and increasing their success in school. Volunteers visiting people, lifting their spirits and keeping them connected. Volunteers coaching sports teams, lifting community pride and creating lifelong bonds. You never know what can give others a lift during a difficult day. Someone spontaneously pays for your coffee or lets you go ahead of them in line at the grocery store. Maybe a neighbour shoveled your walk after a storm when you were healing from surgery. Maybe you asked someone to join a board of directors of the neighbourhood association and they said yes! What is behind this… it’s the Volunteer Factor! Volunteering can also give volunteers a lift. When we volunteer, our spirits are lifted when we have the opportunity to work with others. Our sense of purpose is lifted when we see how our efforts have helped someone else. Our confidence lifts when we gain skills and experience through volunteering, helping us get into a competitive school program or successfully find a job. What lifts your chances to achieve your goals…It’s the Volunteer Factor! Thank You to our volunteers!

NEW CANADIAN FOOD GUIDE IS ATTRACTIVE TOOL FOR HEALTHIER FOOD CHOICES LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com From a dietitian's perspective, the new Canadian Food Guide - which incorporates more fruits and vegetables, less dairy and meat products, and encourages water as the drink of choice - has evolved. Ashley Moisiuk, Katelyn Purdy, Jana Plaunt and Chandra Snarr are dietitians at Rideau Community Health Services (including Smiths Falls Community Health Centre, Merrickville District Community Health Centre, and Rideau Valley Diabetes Services); the women talked with Metroland Media in mid-February from the Smiths Falls office

about the guide. "In the first time in its existence, it's evidencebased," said Plaunt. "They have Canadians' health as priority." Purdy said that a concern of hers is with the lack of milk or dairy on the new menu. "That's a very strong calcium source," she said. "There's not a ton of other foods that have that same amount of calcium per serving. Bone health down the road is a concern." But what's nice about the new guide is that the picture seen on the front of the food guide is what they have been teaching their clients for healthy eating to manage blood sugars. "We talk about the divid-

ed plate method, so this is a nice confirmation for people. It looks delicious and (has) lots of variety," Purdy noted. Plaunt said that the importance of variety is key for healthy eating. The plate method shows half the plate filled with fruits and vegetables, a quarter filled with grains, and a quarter filled with protein. Purdy said to think back to when you were visiting your grandparents, and how big those plates were or how small they were. "Plates have grown in size over the years," she said. "At home, we try to stay inside that inner rim." See VARIETY, page 24

HERB WALKS, WORKSHOPS PLANNED Continued from page 11

said. Van Eyk explained that her health consultations with her clients allow her to go deeper and create precise medicines for the individual and their specific health issue. "Our bodies are really amazing, and they're designed to heal themselves," she said, "and so an herbalist will look at balancing and strengthening the body with a little help from the plants to bring you to your natural best self." Van Eyk said herbalists treat the person - not the disease. "Herbalists don't diagnose - we don't cure - but we observe symptoms, ask a lot of questions, and then

make a plan to help the client reach their health goals," she said. There are roughly 50 different plants in Van Eyk's herb gardens, but most of her ingredients come from the wild. "If I can find it in the wild, I will use it. A plant that isn't pampered in my garden often has more medicine, because they produce it to survive," she explained. Wild plants produce the chemicals that we use in medicines for many reasons; to fight disease, ward off insects, or attract pollinators. "If it's in my garden and I'm watering it all the time, it doesn't have to struggle," she said. "So, wild herbs are gold."

For herbalists, Van Eyk said there is a lot of honour in harvesting the plants. As opposed to seeing them as a crop, she sees herbs as her allies. Bee Wild Herbs has a variety of natural and homemade products for sale, including salves, sprays and ointments; tinctures and tonics, summer care like poison ivy remedies and bug repellent, and skin care. Find them at Healthily Ever After in Merrickville and Heather's Healthy Harvest in Kemptville. Van Eyk's home clinic is located at 317 Elgin Street, Merrickville.

OPINION

TRADE WITH HER FRIEND JOYCE MADE SENSE AT THE TIME BARN KITTEN SOON RETURNED WHERE IT CAME FROM, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

It certainly seemed like a good idea - it would take some planning, but my little friend Joyce said that she was sure it would all work out. The snow was gone, but there was still a bit of a nip in the air the Saturday we decided to put our plan into action. Joyce lived closer to the Northcote School than I did; in a brick house, with a real flush toilet! And real toilet paper ... not the old Eaton's catalogue that hung in our

Right

outhouse. Now, Joyce had something else that I loved with a passion: she had a wooden pencil box! While most of us carried our pencils and eraser in a drawstring bag, made from the same navy and white-striped material used on our pillows and feather mattresses, Joyce had this wonderful pencil box that you opened with your thumbnail. Then the top part could swivel, and show a second portion below the first. Joyce knew I loved that wood pencil box. I couldn't remember how the subject came up, but one day at recess we were talking about all the new kittens we had in the barn. And in the barn, they stayed! I lost count of how many we had. Mother would never allow an animal in the house. Even our old collie dog Sport was fed in the summer kitchen and slept on a

{ } Car Price Place

mound of hay in the cow byre at night. Joyce said the only cat they had on the farm was a mouser that got in the house only when her mother saw a mouse. She would dearly love a kitten to call her own one that could sleep on her bed at night, and be rocked in the rocking chair by the window in the kitchen. So a deal was made between Joyce and me: she'd swap her pencil box for one of the kittens from our barn. I couldn't believe my good fortune. We decided that the trade would take place on the Northcote Side Road that Saturday; I'd walk out the lane with one of the many kittens from the barn, and Joyce would meet me somewhere near Briscoe's General Store with the pencil box. I grabbed one of the kittens scurrying around the barn, and headed out the

Choice

lane. Because we had so many cats, I never did feel a real attachment to any of them - and I knew that this kitten would have a good home with Joyce, whose family was so much richer than ours. It would probably be eating off a real china plate too, I thought. Joyce and I met just before Briscoe's General Store. She had wrapped the pencil box in a piece of the Renfrew Mercury, and the swap was made. I ran all the way back to the lane, and couldn't wait to show everyone the great deal I had just made. Joyce, who had less road to cover, would have made it home with the kitten before I got home with the pencil box. Mother was on the phone when I went in the kitchen, and she certainly didn't seem too happy. "I understand completely," she said at least three times. And

then, "yes, of course, right away." "You can march right back out the lane, young lady," she said, glaring at me and the now-unwrapped pencil box. "Joyce will meet you at Briscoe's." When we met up, Joyce said, "Mother hates cats. And she said that pencil box was hers when she went to school, and there was no way it was going to be traded for a barn cat." I took the kitten, Joyce took the pencil box, and we went our separate ways. Back went my pencils in the drawstring bag, back went the kitten into the

barn, and on Monday morning, there was Joyce at the Northcote School with the wood pencil box that was mine for less than an hour. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

DEATH NOTICE

McMURTRY-CLOSE SANDRA RUTH 1938-2019 Born in Toronto on December 10, 1938, at Toronto General Hospital. Grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, attended Stamford Collegiate Institute. Tried Architectural Technology at Ryerson University, graduated from Ontario Teachers College (Art), experienced Material Arts, at the Ontario College of Art until interrupted by pregnancy, graduated from Algonquin College in Business Administration and computer applications. Maintained an avid interest in all aspects of architecture, interior design, material arts, fabric design and applique.In Sandra’s professional life, initially she was a public school teacher and art specialist and later with the Grey County Board of Education, she was the Board’s Art Consultant, K through grade 8 and always a supply teacher in whatever community she and her family resided. In Ottawa she worked for several large insurance companies as a computer trainer and as a CAD instructor in Algonguin College’s Interior Design Program. She retired in 1999 having witnessed Allan’s stress-free, retired life-style. She was preceded in death by her generous and loving parents, Donald Edward McMurtry and Ruth Evelyn McMurtry(nee Maybee). She is survived by her beloved husband, Allan Edward Close, and their two wonderful, accomplished children, Alexandrina Close (Ravo Lainevool) and Andrew Allan Close (Kristina Smith). Also her dear cousins, Dawn Langstroth and Dr. Wendy Parker. And many much-loved friends, book readers, gardeners and designers. Although they had unknowingly crossed paths several years before, Sandra met Allan at OCA where, one eventful day, he invited her to join him and friends for lunch at a nearby tavern and thereafter March 18th became a special annual day. They were married on August 5, 1966 beginning a life together rich in laughter, small but precious adventures, some travel and many moves. For many years she was a fabric artist, designing and producing a number of remarkable wall-hangings and 3D soft constructions. She and Allan commissioned an architect and built their last home in a rural part of Merrickville, Ontario where Sandra created her beloved gardens, furiously attended them for 15 years while being a very active member of two book clubs and a garden club. After selling their home in 2018 they had a summer adventure in New Brunswick, then moved into a new apartment in Smiths Falls. In the first week of October Sandra’s cancer began to make itself known and her health began to deteriorate rapidly. By November she was in hospital following a disastrous chemo treatment in Ottawa. She decided to be stoic, having had a full life, rather than be sad about having to die. Amazingly this worked, most of the time. Sandra was given the gift of life and now she has to give it back. She was a lucky woman, who led a lucky existence. She was annoyed that the world would continue without her being able to satisfy her innate curiosity about people and events. During her final months Sandra was wonderfully served by the Smiths Falls District Hospital and by Merrickville’s Hilltop Manor. Both of these facilities delivered medicine and care in a timely, professional and compassionate manner, a credit to the local communities. A special thank you to Sandra’s book club friends for their support, visits and for supplying her with an overwhelming number of murder mysteries and spy thrillers. And, of course, to all her Gemmell Road friends and neighbours. And to Paula Blenker for the photograph.

Wood - In loving memory of Edward (Ted) Wood who passed away April 5th , 1984 . Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of his days, Sincere and kind in heart and mind, What a beautiful memory he left behind. Jack, Judy, John & Melissa

Lemay, Dave In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who was tragically taken from us on April 6, 1999 WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE BECOMES A MEMORY, THAT MEMORY BECOMES A TREASURE Hello Dave, it’s me. Twenty years have passed, So hard to believe. Gone in a flash from A shot that rang clear. Left to mourn the loss Of someone so dear. Life turned upside down No one could relate. Holidays once loved, Times I grew to hate. Darkness filled heartache Caused anger and pain. All joy was lost when he took you that day. Time passed by quickly, But felt very slow. Locked in my bedroom Tears silently flowed. People stopped visiting After a while. Had to learn to hide My pain with a smile. Too many years by Myself all alone. Dreaming of a day That you would come home.

IN MEMORIAM

MERCIER – In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt, Joyce, who passed away April 9, 2018. Pleasant in manner, patient in pain, Our loss is her eternal gain, Her cheery ways and smiling face Are a pleasure to recall. She had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all. Love and miss you always Sandra and Dave Jerry and Eva Phyllis Frank and Nancy Gary and Dianne Judy and all your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews

DAVE LEMAY 20 Years Ago, April 6, 1999 The Day The Music Died I cannot talk about Dave without thinking about his three co-workers whose lives and dreams were taken from so many, Harry Shoemaker, Brian Guy and Claire Davidson. Dave was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, son-in-law, brother-in-law and uncle to so many and a very dear friend. His love for his family and friends was just how he was. His job at OC Transpo was his work family and he talked so fondly about them, but his love for music which we still play and he loved to entertain and play music then stop and tell jokes and we would get together and we all loved to hear him play and sing one of our favourites Against the Wind one of Bob Seagers. After 20 years it still seems we are all still running against the wind. We all miss and love you The McDougall and Lemay families

I looked to our kids. Our daughter and son. In them I found strength, A need to move on. Many missed milestones, Events wrought with pain. Time marches on but Our sadness remains. Photos in frames display Good times we shared. Teaching our grandkids About how much you cared.

IN MEMORIAM

MORRIS - In loving memory of our dear Mom, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, Pansy, who passed away April 5, 2002. We think of her in silence, We often speak her name, But all we have are memories, And her picture in a frame. Her resting place we visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave her there. Always loved and missed by your family

IN MEMORIAM

O’NEILL, JACK - April 10, 2014 Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the mornng’s hush; I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there; I did not die. Always Loved Elsie Carl and Gail Mike and Karen grandchildren and great grandchildren

Plaunt said that pulses (plantbased proteins) are encouraged throughout the food guide, which also recommends cooking more often - instead of eating out - and cooking with your family.

FROM A FARMER'S PERSPECTIVE John Bongers, of Cooligan Creek Farm near Chantry, is a second-generation farmer in Leeds County. He said that the new food guide has missed an opportunity to use dairy and meat as healthy alternatives - but overall, as a consumer, the new plate is attractive. "On the whole, it's not bad," he said in a phone interview. "There's a lot of good recommendations in there. Where I think they really missed the boat (is) on the latest science on saturated fats - fats coming from meat and dairy. In moderation of course, it's part of a healthy diet." A healthy fat found in nuts, seeds and avocado are encouraged on the new food guide, but how sustainable is this for Canadians, Bongers questioned. The United States produces over two million tons of almonds annually. "I think that's something else the food guide missed on a bit, was the sustainability of food production," Bongers said. "We can grow a limited amount of fruit, and a certainly amount of vegetables can be grown in greenhouses over the winter. It's cold and snowy outside. We're not going to be producing a lot of the food that is recommended under the food guide, so we have to look at alternatives, and those alternatives are dairy and beef." Bongers said there are many choices of dairy products that are easy, and that's the problem with the Canadian diet. "We are always looking for convenience, and a lot of the convenient food are not healthy. They are basically processed carbs and sugar. The food guide was clear that we have to limit those processed carbs and sugar, and that's a recommendation that I think everyone agrees with. It also has added advantage of being a locally-produced product - it didn't come from thousands of miles away," he said. "It's pro-

THE QUESTION: IS THE CANADIAN FOOD GUIDE A BETTER FIT FOR TODAY'S CANADIAN? THE CONCLUSION: DESPITE THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF DAIRY AND MEAT ON THE MENU, THE NEW AND EVOLVED FOOD GUIDE IS AN ATTRACTIVE TOOL TO HELP CANADIANS EAT BETTER. duced by basically your neighbour and consumed by people in the area in which it was produced. It has that going for it as well." As a consumer, Bongers said that he finds the new food guide attractive. "If I look at it from a neutral position, there is a lot of positives in this new food guide. Cooking from scratch, eating as a family, these things are good and important. It emphasizes fruit and vegetables, and I don't think that can be ignored or downplayed. But we live in a country that is cold eight months of the year, but we have a ready source of dairy and meat and they are very healthy products. And they missed an opportunity to include some very healthy, locally, sustainably-produced product in that food guide." It has minimalized dairy and meat to a large degree, Bongers added. "It didn't need to be. Milk, cheese, yogurt are really healthy product. Red meat, done properly and eaten in moderation, is a really healthy food. You can't overstate that enough."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY: The new Canadian Food Guide shows a colourful array of fruits and vegetables, plant-based proteins, and water as the drink of choice. Dietitians weigh in on the new guide, as does a local farmer who says that it misses the boat on sustainable proteins like meat and dairy products.

DRY DISTILLERY TOWN TOP TENNESSEE ATTRACTION JEFF MAGUIRE VISITS A UNIQUE PLACE WHILE ON VACATION

JEFF MAGUIRE Column

Moore County is one of 95 counties in the state of Tennessee. It is a dry county. In other words you can't purchase alcohol by the drink. Believe it or not just eight counties in the state allow it and there are 27 counties in Tennessee that also prohibit package liquor sales. Unusual then that Moore County is home to what is arguably the most famous whiskey distillery in the world. The Jack Daniel Distillery has been producing what is now the best-selling American whiskey in the world for 150 years.

Jack Daniel is situated in tiny Lynchburg and it was one of the destinations during our latest visit to Tennessee last month. Located 90 minutes south of Nashville and just 40 minutes from the Tennessee-Alabama boundary, Lynchburg is worth a visit even if you aren't interested in the distillery. The neatly laid out Courthouse Square features a number of eclectic, even fascinating stores. We have our Franklin, Tenn. friends Mindy Tate and Mike Thompson to thank for our most recent visit to Lynchburg and Jack Daniel. Kathleen and I first visited the distillery in Mike's company eight

years ago. This time we were joined by Mindy and our English friends Martin and Wendy Ireton. Mike drove the six of us from Franklin to Lynchburg on a secondary route which took us through the gently rolling farm country of Middle Tennessee. It was a cool, but beautifully sunny early spring day and we were treated to many blissful rural scenes. On the way we passed through Shelbyville which is the home of the famous Tennessee Walking Horse. As for Jack Daniel, Mindy does business with the company and through her contacts she was able to arrange a private tour and whiskey tasting. A few years ago the famous distillery was given permission to sell package liquor (their products of course) to visitors, helping move

Moore County from dry to "moist." More recently Jack Daniel won an exemption that allows limited tasting of their whiskey including the signature 'Old No. 7' brand. We were invited onto a company bus and transported on a short driving tour of Lynchburg. We reentered the large distillery property and were dropped off to begin our walking tour. We watched employees burning stacks of hard sugar maple wood to make the charcoal used in the time-honoured process of "charcoal mellowing" which, as the company literature says, "makes Jack Daniel's a smooth sippin' Tennessee whiskey." Great whiskey requires good water and we were ushered over to the cave spring which is what first brought the Lynchburg

property to the attention of founder Jack Daniel. The water from this one spring has been used to make whiskey since the distillery opened. Our tour also included the still house where the whiskey is actually made, the barrel house where it is stored and the packaging line where the distillery's distinctive square bottles are filled with finished product. Later we were guided to the recently reconstructed 'Motlow House' for a private whiskey tasting. The 1870s-era house was the home of Jack Daniel's nephew Lem Motlow. He inherited the distillery from his uncle and ran the operation (interrupted for several years by Prohibition) until his death in 1947. So, what was our verdict? Everyone has differ-

ent tastes. However Kathy enjoyed the Jack Daniel's Honey, while I preferred the double-distilled Gentleman Jack variant. Not to worry! While the whiskey samples were high in number, they were small in volume. We were still able to walk a straight line when we left the distillery.

Musicians and their fans are attracted to the friendly atmosphere in Merrickville and we look forward to putting together an exciting lineup of talent again this year. Although our operating budget is much smaller than those of larger, well-established festivals, we are proud to offer the most interesting programming possible and count on the support and collaboration of our generous sponsors, faithful audiences and fabulous artists as well as our wonderful team of volunteers to make it happen. If you are interested in performing at Merrickville's Jazz Fest 2019, please visit our website www.merrickvillesjazzfest.com to complete the online application form. The application forms and support material are carefully reviewed by a selection committee (which includes some new members each year) and artists are chosen based on a variety of criteria with an aim to present the highest quality and most interesting balance of programming to the jazz fest audience.
