EXPERTS SAY HEMP, CBD PRODUCTS TO SATURATE CANNABIS MARKET PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com On April 12-13, many gathered at the Rural Summit hosted on the Kemptville Campus grounds to celebrate local agriculture, network with agribusiness professionals, and learn more about emerging trends and technologies in the sector. The summit highlighted the undeniable impact that cannabis cultivation, whether for medical or recreational purposes, is having on Canadian agriculture. One popular aspect of the two-day event was an extensive panel discussion featuring five experts who discussed cannabis in politics, challenges faced by licensed producers large
and small, and predictions for what's to come in the pot industry. Ivan Ross Vrana of Oxford Mills was the moderator. Vrana has more than 20 years of experience in government policy development, as well as federal and provincial health care systems. He is currently the vice president of public affairs at Hill + Knowlton Strategies, and widely recognized as an industry expert in the field of medical cannabis and legalized recreational cannabis. He helped develop the government's position regarding the use, production, distribution, and regulation of cannabis for medicinal purposes and has worked on numerous projects with entities such as National Access Cannabis and In-
novative Medicines Canada. The first topic the panel tackled was cannabis' role in politics. Despite the role that it played in the 2015 election as a 'game changer' for the Liberals, seasoned public affairs professional Jack Choquette said she doesn't see it being a topic of much discussion this fall. "Cannabis legalization encouraged a lot of people who normally wouldn't vote to come out and vote," she said. "But there's very real issues that are facing voters now, like carbon pricing, the economy, and the future of resource development and pipelines, so I don't see cannabis getting much airplay."

Notice of Filing of Addendum Municipality of North Grenville Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant and Bridge Street Sanitary Pump Station Optimization and Expansion Environmental Study Report (ESR) Addendum North Grenville is currently experiencing high growth and development pressures and is undertaking an Environmental Study Report (ESR) Addendum to address their need for additional wastewater treatment capacity to service community growth. A review of the Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) suggests that there are hydraulic constraints limiting the treatment capacity of the WPCP, specifically its ability to provide tertiary treatment of high peak flows. The WPCP requires additional wastewater treatment capacity and/or equalization storage to accommodate these current peak demands as well to meet projected growth and sewage flow demands associated with future developments. The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) planning process provides an opportunity to evaluate existing systems and infrastructure at the Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) in the context of meeting or exceeding current treatment standards, projected demands and long-term reliability and sustainability. Recommended Alternative and Preferred Design Concepts Following a Public Information Centre (PIC No. 1) on December 14, 2017, the preferred solution was confirmed to be the expansion and upgrade of the WPCP, the addition of influent equalization storage at the WPCP and the rerating of the Bridge Street SPS. Following PIC No. 1, alternative design concepts were evaluated to determine the preferred design concept for the upgrades. The preferred design concept was presented in a final PIC held on March 7, 2019 (PIC No. 2) and presented within the ESR Addendum. The preferred design concept for the liquid treatment train includes the construction of a new Headworks Facility that will house new screening and grit removal equipment, pumping system and possibly odour control units, and that will be able to accommodate septage receiving, the addition of a new Primary Clarifier, addition of a new Aeration Tank, addition of a new Secondary Clarifier, expansion of Tertiary Filtration, upgrades to the Effluent Pumping Systems and the addition of an Emergency Overflow. The preferred design concept for the solid treatment train includes maintaining Co-Thickening of primary and secondary sludge, the addition of a second primary digester with the capability of performing mesophilic (35ºC) and thermophilic (55ºC) anaerobic digestion, and the installation of a biosolids dewatering system, consisting of a new Geotube® Dewatering Facility and Hauling Cake Biosolids for land application. By this Notice, the ESR Addendum is being placed on public record for a thirty (30) day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. Interested persons may review this document and provide comments to the Municipality. Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice, funding opportunities, and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Municipality may then proceed with the works. The ESR Addendum is available for review beginning April 17, 2019 and a copy of the complete Report will be available at the Municipal Office, located at 285 County Road #44, Kempville, ON K0G 1J0, open Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

LOCAL MAN SAYS RURAL BARRIERS TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE OWNERSHIP DECLINING EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com
Evelyn Harford/Metroland Jeff Goodman, organizer of the Electric Vehicle Show - the region's biggest electric vehicle show - hosted at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Sunday, April 14, along with the Sustainability Fair, talks about the realities of driving an electric vehicle in rural Ontario. often worry about the range of electric vehicles because of the large amount of driving they do. He said the plug-in hybrid they bought five years ago solved that problem because they could drive it as far as they wanted and if they ran out the battery capacity the gas engine would come on and they could keep going. With their new all-electric vehicle, Goodman said the range hasn't been an issue for them - especially with the increased availability in charging infrastructure springing up all across the country. "We drove it to Niagara Falls and stopped just one time to charge it," he said. Range of electric vehicles, which has traditionally been a hiccup for people looking to drive them in the country, is less of an issue today. Electric vehicles now offer ranges of between 400 and 600 kilometres. Goodman said there's See LOWER, page 25

When you think of owning an electric vehicle in a rural community, does it make you wonder if it's possible? Jeff Goodman, the organizer behind the electric vehicle show hosted alongside the Sustainability Fair at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Sunday, April 14, says it's getting easier to make the transition - even in a rural community. "You're not making sacrifices anymore to step into an electric vehicle," he said. Goodman took the plunge into the world of electric vehicle ownership in 2013, trading in a Volkswagen Jetta for a Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid. His wife followed suit a number of years later purchasing her own electric vehicle - a Chevy Bolt, an allelectric vehicle - with a 400-kilometre range. The transition into the world of electric cars has been an eye-opener for the couple. Though Goodman said the upfront price of the car was more expensive than a comparable gasoline-fueled car, he and his wife have saved a substantial amount of money on the price of fuel, maintenance costs and even insurance. "It wasn't attractive on a car payment basis but with the dollars per kilometre it was so cheap," he said. "We were spending
almost $300 per month on diesel fuel for the Jetta. The Volt was going to cost us $60 per month on electricity." Curiosity about the transition to electric vehicles is on the rise - even in rural areas. Goodman said the electric vehicle show in Kemptville, which is the largest in the region, is getting more popular every year. The Sustainability Fair didn't have an electric vehicle show when it first started 12 years ago since there wasn't anything really on the market at that time. The fair introduced the electric vehicle show in 2013. "It's grown substantially since then," said Goodman. "In the last couple of years, it's really taken off not just because the number of models available on the Canadian market has exploded - but because people are really keenly interested, especially in the rural areas because we're the people who drive so much and dollars per kilometre on the electric cars are so much reduced that this becomes a really attractive option." Goodman is no stranger to driving. He puts a lot of kilometres on his vehicles commuting from Kemptville to Gatineau without an issue with range. He's able to charge at home and at work. Goodman said people in rural communities will

LISTEN TO STUDENTS, DON'T DISMISS THEM Ontario's education minister should have ventured out to talk to students April 4 instead of dispensing a self-serving press release from her ivory tower in Queen's Park. If she had, perhaps she wouldn't have responded to students exercising their rights of expression in such a condescending fashion. If the protesting students across the province were like those in Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Perth last week, they were well-versed in what the provincial government is planning for the education system. And for the most part they don't like what they see. So good for the students. Instead of wallowing in apathy or self-pity, they organized public rallies to show how seriously concerned they are about proclamations from on high directly affecting their futures. Calling the rallies political 'stunts' and the students 'pawns' of the unions and teachers, as Lisa Thompson and Doug Ford have, is a slap in the face to all those students who took the time to research the issues. And then share their views with a noisy but respectful protest. There was no Yellow Vest car-burning or looting in Ontario. They have a solid case when they argue boosting the class size from 22-28 in non-urban school districts such as Lanark County probably means classes of at least 40 (there are many in the 35 range now). For rural students, the change means less choice when it comes to course selection and the possibility arts and music classes and extracurriculars could be a thing of the past. Then there are the mandatory online courses - certainly easier for city students to take than those where high-speed internet is spotty at best. The cuts to the Ontario Student Assistance Program are also more damaging in rural areas, where students have to move away from home for post-secondary education. No wonder students are upset. The new education vision could even reduce the job opportunities they have at home. The loss of teacher jobs may not have a major impact on the urban economy, but dropping somewhere teaching positions will hurt local small business (and if health care cuts come too, it will be a double whammy). Students are not only defending their education, they are standing up for the local economy and fair play for rural Ontario. It's not the students who are behaving like political pawns. It's those politicians who are using ideology as an excuse not to listen to them.

They say you don't remember much before the age of four, so I'm assuming our granddaughter's first two Easter celebrations were a bit of a blur. She's well aware that something is up this year, however. Even a preschooler can't ignore the constant barrage of bunnies, chicks and pastel-coloured eggs in every store she enters. Leti's mom used to help me run my home daycare when she was a little girl, and she was a preschool teacher herself for a time as an adult, so she is well versed in arts and crafts for fledgling artists. I will soon have new artwork for my fridge: bunnies created by tracing a pudgy little hand, baskets of coloured eggs that are primarily pink (her favourite colour), spring flowers, and butterflies. When my fridge is covered, I move the creations to our secondary fridge. It's hard to put them away, but I tuck them into my photo box when I need to make room for more. We are not a regular churchgoing family. Our holiday customs seem to always centre on food. When it comes to Easter traditions on the Fisher Farm, it pretty much comes down to chocolate fondant eggs. For as long as I can remember, those huge (size of a goose egg) solid candies have been part of our springtime celebrations. My mother was part of the local sorority
Beta Sigma Phi. The Laura Secord-style fondant eggs were their creation. I think every kid whose mom was in that group is now addicted to those eggs. When I became a mom, I made a huge mistake. I bought the vanilla, the sugar and the canned milk and I started making the eggs myself. Now my kids (who are 25 and up, raised on these eggs ... ) look for these decadent treats each Easter. I have shared the recipe in the past. Basically, it's a solid ball of sweetened condensed milk and icing sugar and butter, rolled up and dipped in melted chocolate. Just do an online search for "solid fondant Easter eggs," and Bob's your uncle. And don't forget to brush your teeth afterward. Last year we had our lovely Norwegian international student offer to make the eggs. She loved to cook and wanted to take part in our traditions. She was possibly unprepared for the messy situation of sticky, icing-sugared fingers. We had fun teaching Leti and her cousin Walt how to hunt for eggs. The first year, the 18-month-olds wandered around the yard like two tiny drunk men, smacking into each other, trying to figure out what I was saying: "Go get the eggs! Look! There's one!" Walt was way ahead of Leti on this, and when he opened the plastic egg to find jelly beans inside, he would offer her a candy, then change his mind and swipe it out of her reach. It was very entertaining for
the adults to watch. Leti, unoffended, would sit on the steps then and swing her feet, giving Walt the side-eye of suspicion. Last year, the 2½-yearolds suddenly knew how to play the game. They collected the eggs, but Leti, twitterpated, was more interested in following Walt around the yard. We got some wonderful photos from both of those Easter egg hunts. Someday when they are teenagers we will show them pictures of stolen kisses and shared giggles on the porch. Easter at the Fisher Farm is all about family. We host about 40 guests for a lunch at 2 p.m. on Easter Sunday. The young families show up first, so the kids can do the egg hunt. Then our five children and their mates, our siblings and parents, and aunts and uncles show up for the feast. We may not be a huge churchgoing family, but we know we have a very unique situation here. For lunch, we serve a turkey we raised ourselves. It lived free-range in the barnyard, a short but happy life. We go to Albert's for the ham, because what is Easter without it? Guests bring side dishes, and Grandma always shows up with some local maple syrup. Easter is nice and late this year, so hopefully we will be able to enjoy a walk in the back 40 after lunch. Because that is our church. The trees are the steeple. The stone fences are the pews. God is all around us. We are blessed, and we know it.

ROAD SAFETY PROGRAM COMING THIS SPRING PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com A new, integrated public road safety program is in the works for North Grenville. Chair of the North Grenville Police Services Board (PSB) Don Sherritt, discussed the details with council at their April 9 meeting and said recent PSB meetings have had a strong focus on road safety. Sherritt said while there are effective protocols in place to deal with resident concerns, what has been lacking is a program to tie all entities involved together. He presented a resolution to council with the recommendation for the Safer Roads Program to be established with the goals of reducing collisions, raising public awareness of road safety issues, integrating
the work of municipal partners, and utilizing a riskbased decision-making process to ensure the best use of financial and human resources. "Enhancing road safety requires the multi-disciplinary, holistic, and integrated approach," he said. Sherritt recommended that the program be modelled on the four E's - Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Empathy. In terms of engineering, the program speaks to physical modifications to the roadway network such as changes in traffic operations and signage systems that can create a safer road environment. The educational aspect of the program will be directed at residents of all ages through multimedia activity. The hope is that effective education will lead to traffic-cultural transfor-

As police are responsible for enforcing the Highway Traffic Act, the en-
forcement component of the program rests on the OPP's role of enforcing the
law, promoting road safety, investigating incidents, and patrolling. Empathy encourages road users to join a cultural transformation of mutual tolerance and respect for people and property to collectively make roads safer. The vision for the program is a 12-month education plan where the topic of road safety is highlighted every month. The hope is for the program to be launched in May. "It is with significant enthusiasm that we welcome this initiative to ensure there is a highly coordinated approach to promoting road safety," said Mayor Nancy Peckford. She said the municipality will be looking at strategic investments to ensure safety for not just vehicular traffic, but for pedestrians and cyclists, as well. Sherritt reiterated that the intent of the program is to coordinate existing systems for a broader overview of public safety in North Grenville.

COMMUNITY
BUNNIES DESCEND ON DOWNTOWN FOR EASTER BUNNY HOP EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Easter came early in Kemptville. Warm spring weather was in the air as little bunnies with their baskets hopped along Prescott Street collecting chocolate from local participating businesses during the annual Easter Bunny Hop, hosted by the Old Town Kemptville BIA, on Saturday, April 13. For William Pearl, owner of Stevens Creek Shutter Co., the event is a good way for business owners to get to know people in
the community. "You get to introduce yourself to a lot of folks," he said. Pearl said it's also a good way for locals to get to know business owners by travelling through the downtown on foot, rather than in their cars. The Easter Bunny Hop is an annual tradition for Julie Sculland and her kids, Amber Sculland, 8, and Ryan Sculland, 7. Ryan and Amber say the best part about the Easter Bunny Hop is getting to enjoy the chocolate treats that are in abundance at Easter.

FEMME INTERNATIONAL NAMED ONE OF TOP INNOVATORS IN AFRICA PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com An organization cofounded by a North Grenville native was recently recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its work to improve access to affordable menstrual products for women in African communities. Femme International was a finalist in the WHO's inaugural Africa Innovation Challenge, selected among 2,471 applicants from 77 countries. The finalists were picked based on impact potential and their innovation's ability to grow in a sustainable way. More than a third of the applicants were women. Femme International's innovation, called the Twende Initiative, aims to make high quality men-
strual products available to women in hard to reach communities of East Africa. The organization's cofounder and North Grenville native, Sabrina Rubli, said the program employs a network of sales agents that sell reusable menstrual cups within their communities at an affordable price point and also host educational workshops. "We were so proud to be recognized by the WHO as a top innovator," she said. "It was a great honour to be selected alongside so many amazing organizations." Her sister, Jennifer Rubli, is Femme International's research co-ordinator. She traveled to Cape Verde to participate in the second annual Africa Health Forum and presented the project to world leaders and the global health community.
Submitted/Femme International An organization co-founded by North Grenville native Sabrina Rubli, Femme International, was just recognized by the World Health Organization in their list of the Top 30 Innovators in Africa. The program that landed the prestigious recognition is called the Twende Initiative, which provides affordable, quality menstrual products to women in hard to reach communities of East Africa. Pictured, menstrual health education and products empower women and girls in Kenya. "The Twende Initiative provides employment to local women and uses education to break the menstrual taboo," Sabrina explained. "It was developed by myself, Jennifer, and our col-
league Liz McNeil, who also launched a social enterprise in Tanzania called Last Mile." Sabrina said the more they research, the more they learn about what com-
munities need, and what women want when it comes to menstrual products. "We believe that all women should have affordable access to quality menstrual products, and the
Twende Initiative is how we are filling that gap," she said. Femme International runs in-school educational programs on menstrual health to help empower young African women and girls who might otherwise miss school due to the embarrassment of having their period without the proper self-care materials or insight. "Our research over the years has shown us that women want access to these products year-round, and they need them to be available in their communities," Sabrina said. Femme International will be holding their annual fundraiser at North Grenville District High School in Kemptville on May 5. To learn more about Femme International, visit www.femmeinternational.org

At the April 9 committee of the whole meeting, North Grenville council heard a proposal from Janice Ashworth, general manager of the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-operative (OREC). Her presentation focused on the prospect of what a solar-paneled roof would look like for the municipal centre, as well as other potential environmentally-friendly projects like electric vehicle charging, heat recovery, and water conservation. The CoEnergy Ontario Co-operative program uses a community-ownership model to keep energy dollars in the local economy. "Our cop-op is focused on building the low-carbon economy in eastern Ontario and western Quebec," Ashworth explained. The opportunity presents financing, management, and maintenance of solar projects in many communities across the province as OREC works to expand its mandate to include energy storage, efficiency retrofits and electric transportation solutions, providing full financing for solar and energy efficient retrofits. "This results in significant savings for various institutions, properties, and organizations," said Ashworth. The program focuses on projects that aim to reduce greenhouse gases. The preliminary design for the North Grenville Municipal Centre includes an estimated $8,186 in energy savings per year, totalling $212,838 in savings over 30 years. "We design the projects and provide 100 per cent of the financing, through our community investor members," said Ashworth, "and then the revenues that are generated from the projects are what gives us our revenues to pay back our investor members by way of dividends." She estimated that the installation of solar panels on the roof of the municipal centre would cost roughly $900,000, which would be covered entirely by the co-op. "We would cover that capital cost, and then the payments back from the municipality would be based on the savings that they would see on their energy bills," Ashworth explained. "Your Hydro One bill would go down drastically based on that installation." Mayor Nancy Peckford asked what the timeline would look like for such a project,
to which Ashworth replied that solar projects typically span over 25 years. "We try to amortize it over the life of the equipment - the panels themselves operate for 40 years plus, but there's maintenance that we would expect to do over that 25-year term," she said. "Depending on what's on the table, we can try to maximize returns for the municipality." Ashworth also presented actions for council and staff to consider for the municipal centre, including the installation of electrical vehicle charging units, fleet upgrades to any municipally-owned electric vehicles, and energy audits and retrofits for lights, heat recovery, and water conservation. She also spoke to potential developments for the Kemptville Campus Education and Community Hub. "The idea of developing a community hub is something CoEnergy would be excited to play a role in," she said. "We can offer consulting services initially to determine opportunities for a low-carbon campus." She identified many overlapping priorities in the campus' strategic plan with the CoEnergy program's values, such as financial sustainability, low-carbon innovation, and climate change resiliency. The outlined benefits of working with CoEnergy include the opportunity for the existing 40 members of the CoEnergy Co-op who are residents of North Grenville to enable the municipality to pay its energy dollars directly to some of its constituents, as opposed to Hydro One or Enbridge Gas. "This strengthens the local economy and keeps energy dollars in the community," Ashworth explained. CoEnergy also hires local contractors to stimulate green economy. Council showed interest in the project, and the matter will return to the council chambers for further deliberations with staff and the public in the future.

AUDREY'S QUICK THINKING PAID DIVIDENDS FOR MOTHER MARY COOK RECALLS SISTER'S CRAFTY WORK ON PUFFED WHEAT BAG MARY COOK Column
It was a warm Saturday afternoon, and Audrey and I were setting out for Briscoe's General Store, lugging the little wagon Father had got in a trade at Thacker's Garage. We had a list of things Mother needed, and there would be too much to carry home without the wagon. Even though it was warm, my sister had on a jacket, and for a very good reason. Tucked in the sleeve of her coat was a long knitting needle which would be put to good use when we got to the store. For a treat, Mother said Audrey could pick up sev-
en maple cookies, which were my favourite, and were in a tilted box right near the front door. You could smell them as soon as you walked in. So for supper that night, each of us would have one cookie to go with the little fruit nappie of preserved raspberries. Of course, we had no money. Everything would be put on Mother's bill. There would be the pound of green tea, measured out in a brown paper bag, and tied with string. A can of Gillett's lye for the batch of homemade soap Mother was planning on making, a spool of white thread, and the smallest tin of baking powder to tie us over until the Watkins man came with his suitcases of goods. On the list was a bag of
puffed wheat. As far as I was concerned, we could easily do without it. I never liked the taste of it, and it always stuck to the roof of my mouth. I don't think the rest of the family thought much of it either but it was also bought for a very special reason. The puffed wheat came in a large bag with a paper mesh strip down the front. Now, you couldn't see through the mesh, and I could never figure out why it was there. And inside every bag was a piece of china! Imagine! Real china! Over time we had collected a fair amount of the dishes, and it was used when we had company. Unfortunately, we had piles of saucers, and about three cups. The plates were so scarce, only company got them when we had visitors who stayed for a meal. Of course, you couldn't see inside the bag, so you had no
idea what piece of china was inside. My sister Audrey - a smart one she was - was determined not one more saucer was coming into our house! The only thing left on our list was the puffed wheat. It was my job to stay at the counter and talk to Mr. Briscoe. I could see Audrey out of the corner of my eye. She had stooped down by the low shelf where the puffed wheat was stacked, took the knitting needle out of the sleeve of her jacket, and began stabbing it into the strip of mesh down the front of the package. Her purpose was to bypass anything that felt like a saucer and try to find a cup or a bigger plate. Finally, she hit pay-dirt! She took the bag over to the counter, Mr. Briscoe wrote the price on Mother's bill, and we loaded the little
wagon and headed for home. Usually, Mother wouldn't let us open the puffed wheat bag until it was needed, but Audrey said she had a big surprise for Mother. And there, halfway down in the bag was a cup! Mother didn't ask Audrey how she knew there was a cup inside, and I certainly wasn't going to be the one to tell her. Audrey took off her jacket, took out the knitting needle and put it back in the sewing basket by the Singer sewing machine. Boy that sister of mine sure was a smart one. I knew, without a doubt, that it
wouldn't be long until we had a cup for every saucer stacked in the back-to-thewall cupboard - and maybe a couple of plates to go with them! Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

KDH AUXILIARY SUPPORTS HOSPITAL TO THE TUNE OF $70,000 Beating its own annual record, the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Auxiliary donated $70,000 to the hospital in the lead-up to National Volunteer Week, celebrated April 7 to 13. The funds will be used primarily to purchase two new "smart beds," which can monitor a patient's health while they sleep and alert a health care provider to potential problems. While he gratefully acknowledged the significant financial contributions of the KDH Auxiliary over the years, now totalling a staggering $1.43 million, the hospital's chief executive officer, Frank J. Vassallo, underlined the impact of the volunteers' contributions of that most precious commodity - their time. "Day in and day out, I'm struck by our volunteers' compassion, dedication and energy," he said. "Our volunteers enhance the patient experience at KDH in a myriad of ways," he added, "whether it is by greeting people at the door with a smile and helping them find their way, serving up a bowl of soup and a kind word at the coffee shop, or holding the hand of one of our interim long-term care residents, they make a difference." According to Brenda Steacy, president of the KDH Auxiliary, its members contributed a grand total of 13,508 volunteer hours in 2018. "This is the highest number of hours in the recorded history of the auxiliary," she said. "This includes direct

Steacy also shared that the new contribution of $70,000 was $5,000 more than the last four annual donations. She attributed this increase to the very successful Bridal High Tea held in September 2018. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the auxiliary's founding in 1959, more than a year be-
fore the hospital opened its doors on June 29, 1960. The auxiliary was formed after Margaret Storey, RN, chair of women's activities on the board, called all interested area women to meet in Kemptville's Leslie Hall for the purpose of forming a women's auxiliary for the proposed hospital. Her appeal drew an overwhelming response; in a few months the membership stood at 751. The auxiliary's duty at this time was to raise funds to provide bed linens, towels, drapes and curtains, along with other small needs.

Sarah Bain of Auxly Cannabis Group agreed and said that the Liberals may distance themselves from the topic as is tends to open them up to criticism from the Conservatives.

the black market. Bain said it's hard to tell for sure what the market of users was and is now, as the legality is so fresh. "A lot of individuals who were already using cannabis are still going to their usual source, because their usual source still has supply," she explained. As such, the legal market isn't seeing that demographic of users. "It's going to take some time for the legal market to have a higher profit than the black market," she said. "But the industry isn't even half way towards its full potential." McLean agreed that the legal market has barely cut into the black market, as it's still cheaper to buy cannabis illegally. "In terms of revenue and tax collection, the final analysis is that no Canadian companies - even the large, leading companies reached their financial targets in the first three months of legalization," she said. McLean said this is due to supply issues as well as distribution issues, and consumer frustration in accessing the product. Deron Johnston, chair of the Rural Summit, asked what the legalization of edibles will mean for the market and what products the panellists see coming. Ryan Greer, senior director of transportation and infrastructure policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, indicated there will be a wide variety of food and beverage products in various forms. "Microbreweries, small food manufacturers, chocolate makers ... Everybody's gearing up to have a decent selection of products come October," he said. "How they'll be packaged and sold will be a whole other issue." Choquette foresees CBD and THC in "literally anything you can think of" within the next year or
THE ISSUE: CANADA'S CANNABIS INDUSTRY LOCAL IMPACT: THE NORTH GRENVILLE RURAL SUMMIT HOSTED A PANEL DISCUSSION FOR LOCAL AGRICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCAL CANNABIS CROPS AND CHALLENGES THREATENING PROSPECTIVE POT FARMERS AND LICENSED PRODUCERS two. "Forget about edibles that's the bare minimum," she said. "It will be in creams, sprays, room deodorizers ... as the industry looks at expanding its consumer base, they're looking to break into new demographics, and a lot of people who are new to cannabis will not want to smoke the product, so innovations around infused products that you consume is really where I think we'll see the biggest growth and most potential for innovation." Bain agreed that the next stage of products is unlimited, and that smoking cannabis will be less popular. "We've just spent 50 years convincing Canadians that smoking is bad for you - it's part of our DNA now in Canada," she said. "Hemp-based products is where I think we're going to see some exciting opportunities. In fabrics, apparel, topicals, creams, beverages ... it's really unlimited
where the products will go." She predicts that hemp will grow in popularity as a rotation crop for non-traditional cannabis growers. The growth market is in the wellness applications, said Bain, whether products will be tailored to deal with issues like anxiety or irregular sleep patterns. "We will see CBD products with a very low hallucinogenic property, because Canadians are very interested in wellness products," she said. "That's also where hemp is important." She referred to hemp as a "critically important crop," as it will fuel the growth of cannabis companies and allow them to produce whatever products they want. "It absolutely is going to be a huge evolution of where the industry is going to go, though it is currently bound up in cannabis regulation," she said, as hemp was rolled into the Cannabis Act. "I think with the farm bill, what we're going to see is increased pressure on the government to make it easier for Canadian hemp producers to compete." The panel also discussed the potential market for craft cannabis. "I think we're going to have more of a small, craft industry," said Bain. "When you start getting really big companies coming in, it somehow has an impact on the coolness factor, and craft-made products are really cool." Michelle agreed that people think big companies such as Canopy Growth (Tweed) have all the business, but that people will want craft/microgrown cannabis from local producers, just as the craft beer trend took off despite the success of corporate giants like Molson/Coors.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
With cannabis recently legalized in Canada, five experts in the cannabis sector discussed the role that cannabis played politically leading up to legalization, the potential for the hemp market and craft cannabis, and pot products to expect in the coming years.

With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of John Alfred Sims, 87, of Oxford Mills on April 11, 2019 peacefully, at home in his favorite chair. Predeceased by his eldest son David, John leaves his loving wife of nearly 65 years, “Marnie” Marianne (Nixon) and adoring children Ian (Akie lchiryu), Jennifer (Peter Down) and Alison (David VanZyl), grandchildren Hayley and Michael Down, Mark, Johnathon and Erin VanZyl and Kaito Hori - Sims, three great grandchildren, nieces and a nephew in the UK and Canada. Born in London England, John excelled in both his RAF flight training in the 50’s and his MBA program, SFU, 1974. As an engaging conversationalist who could also find humour in any situation, he was a natural diplomat. Following four years of RAF, and immigrating to Canada he served as such from 1967 1992 taking postings in six overseas missions in trade and consular affairs. He enjoyed a year’s secondment to white colour crime, RCMP, and the 1984 - 5 NDC course in Kingston ON during his and Marnie’s distinguished diplomatic career. John could do anything; flying upside down under the Firth - of Forth bridge, restoring a “54 MGTC, building ( and flying ) his Long EZ, a boat in the basement, an expansive addition on to the home, and several classic and lasting furniture pieces. He once replaced a broken fan belt with Marnie’s stocking, and in the jungle in Ceylon “Macgyvered” a breaker in a distributor of a VW bus with a stick and some tin-foil. A consummate gentleman, he was equally at ease in his workshop, with his nose in a book or sleeves rolled up with the likes of Jean Chretien. His greatest joy was his home life and greatest regrets not accepting a two-dayold-chick flying gig in Australia, and not have lived to 102- in order to collect all his pension. “You earned your wings dad. Fly.” There will be an open reception at the residence, Thursday, April 25, 3-5 pm to celebrate a life exceptionally well lived. In lieu of flowers, please take a loved one out and make memories.

And, I am grateful to be so lucky, as it gives me access to a movie but also to the opera and the philharmonic concert and to sunsets and stars and the world and, above all, to humanity...” Special thanks are extended to the PSWs who supported Mom. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in her memory to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). As per her wishes, there will be no funeral service.

DRUMMOND, DAVID LAWSON
26 November 1942 13 April 2019 President of Drummond Bros House & Building Movers It is with profound sadness the family and friends of David Drummond announce his passing, the result of recent heart problems and a massive stroke. Dave and his twin brother Gilmour (Gib) were a package that could never be separated so this is an especially profound loss for Gib. Dave would insist that we mention his dear life long friend he lovingly called his ‘brother-from-anothermother’, Art Brown. Work was more than a passion to Dave - it was his reason for living. Per his wishes, he went down with his boots on. He loved those that worked with him like family. He welcomed each new customer (soon to become friend) and enjoyed that every job was unique & challenging. The rewards from a job well done were many: wonderful experiences, many laughs, old stories to tell, new stories to share and the special satisfaction that comes from looking back at what a team of professionals had just accomplished. May he rest in peace now that his final building move is over. It also must be noted that Dave was a dedicated volunteer member (retired Captain) of the Almonte Fire Department for 25+ years, during which time he contributed much to the department as well as his beloved Almonte community. Mourning Dave’s loss is his partner Shirley Blonski, daughter JoAnna, siblings Gib, Bill (Grace), Mac (Joan), Bruce (Elaine), Millie Garbuio (late John), Allan (late Dana), Gloria (Jaimie), Janet (William), and numerous nieces and nephews. Waiting to welcome him Home is brother John (Colleen), sister-in-law Dana, brother-in-law John, brother-in-law Steve and parents Stewart & Doreen Drummond (nee Simpson).

How splendid it would be, If you were here to share it with your family. But God had other celebrations in mind, For you today. God thought they were important, So He took you away.

In that space that feels so empty, That space that you still share. The tears will flow, the heart will ache, In wishing you were here.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Forever in our hearts… Deb, Doug and Erin

All this information helps electric vehicle owners plan their trips. Kemptville has its very own high-speed supercharger. "It's surprising when you see how many are available," he said. Goodman said something to consider for people that live in a rural community is the reduction in maintenance costs they'll see when making the transition. "People don't factor that into their monthly payments, but it gets really expensive to service a car," he said. Goodman would have to get their Jetta serviced every 8,000 kilometres. Now, it's much less. With the Volt, his first service came after a year. His wife's all-electric vehicle doesn't get serviced until 240,000 kilometres. He said until then, all
there is to do is swap over summer tires and winter tires. For those worried about battery replacement, Goodman said they're supposed to last for the life of the car. When switching to an electric vehicle, Goodman said they've also saved money on
their insurance. His insurance company offers a five per cent rebate for electric vehicle owners. Bottom line, he said, if you're thinking about getting into an electric vehicle talk to someone that drives one and find out if it's right for you and your lifestyle.
