Merrickville-Wolford to reduce council size BY JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The Merrickville-Wolford council voted unanimously to reduce the number of councillors from seven to five in the 2018 municipal election. “There will be two wards — Merrickville and Wolford — and there will be two councillors elected for each ward,� explained M e r r i c k v i l l e - Wo l fo r d Mayor David Nash. “The mayor will be voted on by everybody.� The resolution was passed during the regular meeting held April 10. “This will result in a savings of between $75,000 to $80,000 over the term of council,� noted Nash. “We’ll save close to about $20,000 per year.� The change in council composition will “allow us to deal with things in a more streamlined manner,� commented Nash. It will also reduce the workload for staff,
Made in Canada by Crescendo www.burnsjewellers.com 66 Foster Street, Perth • 613-267-4466
he continued. “Instead of having seven members of council calling and asking questions, there will only be five.� The reduction in councillors is in keeping with the council composition of other bigger municipalities in the area, such as the Municipality of North Grenville, which has five members of council. “This is definitely beneficial,� said Nash. In his report to council April 10, chief administrative officer John Regan noted, “when compared with other municipalities, the current seven-member council structure seems out of place with normal practice based on population.� Since the amalgamation of the Village of Merrickville and the Township of Wolford back in 1998, council has been made up of seven members – mayor, two Merrickville ward councillors, two Wolford ward councillors and two councillors at large.

Hike for Hospice gears up for May 7 event in Perth at Crystal Palace The National Hospice Palliative Care week will kick off with the 10th anniversary of the local Hike for Hospice Sunday, May 7 in Perth. This year Community Home Support Lanark County, in partnership with Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation and The Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, will host this event at the Crystal Palace in Perth. They will be joined by the everenthusiastic and significant fundraising partner, Bayshore Home Health of Smiths Falls. This dynamic team is looking for your help and support to raise funds for this year’s event. The Hospice Palliative Care Services of Community Home Support Lanark County support people living with a life-limiting illness and those at end-of-life. The care extends to family members and friends, helping them to care for their loved ones and to care for themselves. Hospice volunteers are an integral part of the circle of care enabling clients to live at home with their illnesses while they move in and out of hospital for pain and symptom management. The Volunteer Hospice Visiting
Service provides respite for caregivers and support and companionship to clients. Funds raised at the hike also support both sites of the hospital in providing quality palliative care services to help make end of life care the best it can be. Seniors make up Canada’s fastest growing age group. By 2036 seniors are expected to make up 25 per cent of the overall population. That’s about 3.3 million persons over the age of 80. Currently, more than 252,000 Canadians of all ages die every year; 90 per cent of them could have benefited from Hospice Palliative Care. However, only 16 to 30 per cent of them had access to or received end-of-life care services. Even fewer people are offered grief and bereavement support. This shortfall in Hospice Palliative Care Services affects many people in the community, particularly those who are going through the difficult times when a loved one, close friend or neighbour approaches end-of-life. Their concern and that of the many volunteers and hospice palliative services program staff is quietly evident

in many ways throughout every year. The annual Hike for Hospice Palliative Care Services is the community’s opportunity to join them to demonstrate just how much we all care. Your support of these vital programs is very important. Organize a team, join your friends and neighbours, or walk solo in support of Hospice Palliative Care. There will be
a barbecue, live music featuring Henry Norwood and a silent auction with items generously provided by local business establishments in Perth and Smiths Falls. Registration starts at noon, welcome and warm-up at 12:45 p.m. and the walk at 1 p.m. The walk finishes at 2 p.m. To learn more about local hospice palliative care services and to help
raise funds for these local programs, come to the Crystal Palace in Perth at 12 noon on Sunday, May 7. All donations to this event are to be payable to “Hike for Hospice.” Online registration for the event is on the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association website at http://chpca.convio.net/ CommunityHomeSupportLanarkCounty.

turned to society. Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change as they go on to graduate from high school at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average; 78 per cent of those children who came from a social assistance background no longer rely on this form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group. On the other hand, children who are denied the benefit of a positive role model are children who will continue to be deemed “at risk” and not children “on the brink of success.” For 613-283-0570 or visit their website at www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

sors, food sponsors, and more. It is great visibility for local businesses, and great support for an agency helping kids right here at home. Mentoring programs are about prevention and building resilience. The research indicates that by providing children and youth with positive role models, mentoring programs demonstrate to them that they are valued, and that they possess the strength to overcome the obstacles they will undoubtedly face as they grow older. Mentoring also plays an important role in the future direction a child will decide to take later on in life, paving the way for a future full of possibilities.

Commentary How about those Canadians, eh?
W
ho’s laffing now? Age-old Toronto Maple Leafs fans know the mockery that being such a diehard blue and white fan can entail. “You’re a fan of the Maple Laffs?” The Leafs are currently leading their series over the Washington Capitals, two games to one. All three games in this series have gone into overtime. The Leafs have a new face in the crowd, and many are following suit, posting his painted up face to their own social media pages as a profile picture. The now famous “Dartman” or the “Dart Guy”, otherwise known as Jason Maskalow, has ignited the Internet. If you haven’t seen this guy, he’s a dyed-blue bearded man with a painted blue and white face, grasping a nonlit cigarette in his mouth. He has quickly become a good luck charm for the Leafs. Who can argue with back-to-back OT wins? We have a lot to celebrate during this National Hockey League playoff season, including four other Canadian teams that have
made the post-season action. Last year, there was nary a Canadian team to be found in the mix – 16 playoff teams, all U.S. based. This year, we have a plethora of north-ofthe-border teams with a real chance at bringing the Stanley Cup to the Great White North. It hasn’t been won in Canada since the Montreal Canadiens captured this Holy Grail in 1993, defeating Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings in the final when the Habs still called the Forum home. Like the Leafs, the Montreal Canadiens are leading the New York Rangers two games to one, so too the Ottawa Senators over the Boston Bruins, and Edmonton Oilers over the San Jose Sharks. The Calgary Flames are on the brink of elimination as they trail the Anaheim Ducks, three games to none – but never say die. They’re not out yet. So let’s sit back, and enjoy the rites of spring with a long playoff run right to the end for one of these Canadian teams. G-oh Canada!
Mary was very careful about what went on her plate at mealtime
T
he spring melt had caused the Bonnechere to overflow its banks and even the little creek that ran below the west hill was flooding its shores. My three brothers checked the water levels every day, pitch forks at the ready. The first sign of a mud pout, swimming close to the surface, meant our suppers would soon include the ugly fish, which would just about turn my stomach when I looked at them, either alive or on a platter in the middle of the table. I always said a silent prayer of thanks when either mud pout or blood pudding was on the supper table. Thanks to that Mother, knowing how much I
hated both, let me have either dinner leftovers, or a couple hard-boiled eggs and toast. And if my stomach was particularly squeamish, as it was prone to be, I was allowed to have my supper at the bake table, away from where my brother Emerson could contribute to my misery by smacking his lips with every bite, and putting his face as close to mine as he could without a reprimand from Mother. Of course, I learned at a very early age that the secret to avoiding anything I didn’t like at a meal was to simply not put it on my plate in the first place. Because the rule was hard and fast: anything you took on your plate had to be eaten! So I
made awfully sure everything I took, I was prepared to eat. I also learned that there was no chance we would ever go hungry on the farm. We may have been as poor as church mice, but every meal was more than ample. There was always racks of meat hanging in the smoke house, with more canned in jars in the cellar. And of course, every Sunday we had roast chicken, goose, or duck.

Links of homemade sausages, smoked slabs of bacon, and head cheese (which became another one of my most hated foods after I saw how it was made), and the little barrel of pickled herring in the summer kitchen, always assured us of a hearty meal. There were more sealers of jams, jellies, apple sauce and preserves, pickles, relishes, and vegetables on the shelf in the cellar than we would ever eat before Mother was ready to put down more batches when the next fall rolled around again. At least twice a week Mother baked bread, and with our own homemade butter, we never had a meal without a plate of both sitting on the table. Al-

though Mother’s protests did little good, Father never ended a meal without taking a piece of well-buttered bread and wiping his plate clean. We children were never allowed such behaviour, of course. We would be well into summer before the sauerkraut barrel showed signs of being empty, and we never seemed to run out of potatoes, or vegetables buried in sand in the cellar. Of course, there were things Mother couldn’t get away without buying. Sugar, flour, little cans of spices from the Rawleigh man, or lemons and raisins when she could spare a few pennies out of her "egg money." We all had hearty appetites, especially Father and my three

brothers. Mother said they ate like it was their last meal on earth. But I was very careful what I piled on my plate because I was always conscious of Mother’s rule, “Eat everything you take, because if you don’t, you are taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian.” I had no idea who these starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure they lived in Arnprior.

RCL Automotive and Tire Discounter proudly presents, ‘‘SWING INTO SPRING”Tire Sale!
This is a ONE DAY tire sale on Saturday April 22, 2017 between 9am-1pm (Financing Available)
McHappy Day coming up May 3 This year marks the 24th McHappy Day in McDonald’s Canada since it started in 1977. It is the company’s longest-running and best-known national fundraising event. On this day $1 from the sale of every Big Mac, Happy Meal and any size hot beverage will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Canada, the Ronald McDonald Houses and hundreds of other local children’s charities.
At the heart of our community commitment is RMHC Canada, which is dedicated to giving sick children the one thing they need most: their families by supporting Ronald McDonald Houses and Ronald McDonald Family Rooms across the country. RMHC provides families of sick children with a home-away-from-home or a place of peace and calm within a hospital. All funds raised locally will go to support
the Ottawa Ronald McDonald House, and the two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms located at CHEO. It is a time-honoured McHappy Day tradition for civic and community leaders to join us in our restaurants to celebrate this special day with our customers. Consider supporting local charities this May 3 at McDonald’s locations in Smiths Falls, Perth, Kemptville and Carleton Place.

Victim Services Lanark County celebrates Volunteer Appreciation Week What better way to celebrate your volunteers than with a barbecue and cake? Victim Services Lanark County (VSLC) is hosting such an event Wednesday, April 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s an opportunity for staff to show their appreciation to the volunteers in the organization who make it work. “We couldn’t do it without them,” said Amber MacDonald, program manager. “It’s right in the middle of Volunteer Appreciation Week, and we’re hosting this event to thank our volunteers and to hopefully recruit some new members to our team.” VSLC is a community-based program working in partnership with police, emergency services, child protection (CAS), Victim Witness Assistance Program and Lanark County
Interval House. It’s a 24/7 agency that provides immediate, confidential short-term crisis intervention services, practical assistance, information, referrals and emotional support to persons affected by crime, tragedy and/or disaster. Crisis assistance is provided by staff and volunteers who are carefully selected, screened and specially trained to work in their community, MacDonald noted. The agency is committed to treating individuals with courtesy, compassion, dignity and respect. Being a volunteer is a rewarding experience. Team leader, LJ Baker, said it’s a way for her to give back to her community. She’s been involved with Victim Services in Leeds Grenville since 2009, but moved to the Lanark County area a few years ago, and stepped
away from the program for a short time. “It’s great to get back into the organization,” she said. “Staff are warm and inviting, and knowledgeable – there is always someone available for questions, and to point me in the right direction. It’s a full support team of
volunteers as well.” As a team leader, Baker is the afterhours person who police or fire would page from a call for service. She would then gather her team of two and send them out on a mission to help victims of crisis events. “It’s stressful at times, but so rewarding when you see the difference you can make in someone’s life, even if it’s just for a few moments,” Baker said. Members of the Response Team are screened (including criminal record checks and reference checks) and professionally trained. MacDonald said many volunteers come from the human services professions; others have been victims of crime themselves, are now fully healed and want to give back. Availability requirements for volunteers include providing at least three

shifts a month to help cover gaps as they appear. All availability must be submitted to the program manager a full week in advance. For each call, response team members are sent out based on availability and geographic location. All staff and volunteers always work in teams of two. You may be responding with another volunteer or a staff member depending on the call, time of day/night, availability or other such factors. Volunteers may be called to the scene of a sudden death, domestic violence, a motor vehicle collision, a house fire or may be called to the hospital to support a victim of sexual assault, or violence. Where you go and what you do is as unique as the people involved. To be considered for the response team program you must: See VOLUNTEER page 7

Debbie, Dave, Shane and Lindsay, and Cory McNamee celebrated the life of Emily, their daughter and sister, on Saturday, March 25 at Farrell Hall in Perth. Emily died Dec. 17, 2015 from an epileptic seizure. She was just 25. Community supporters raised more than $11,000 for Emily’s Fund, which assists people with transportation to and from doctors’ appointments, support meetings, and other services. The fundraiser included a silent auction, held in the lower level of Farrell Hall (left). Rita Moore, Emily’s grandmother. shows one of the bracelets for sale by the volunteers (right).

Experts challenge Lanark County’s plan to spray parsnip in ditches Pesticides sprayed by Lanark County to kill parsnip growing in ditches threaten groundwater and human health, while impacting essential insects that farmers depend upon to pollinate their crops. Public education is key to addressing risks from parsnip. An experts forum “Pollinators, People and Pesticides” addressed an overflow crowd at Perth’s McMartin House, Thursday April 6, and took a big step forward in the most important approach to parsnip in ditches, public education to recognize and deal with parsnip safely. “Sap Plus Sun can lead to serious chemical burns, but this combination is easily avoidable. Similar chemicals in other foods such as limes also react in the sun to produce this type of burn, called Margarita Sunburn,” said Meg Sears, PhD, an Ottawa-based environmental health researcher, who chairs the national organization Prevent Cancer Now. She noted that spraying ditches is futile when parsnip is in the field and that there is no evidence that herbicides will permanently eradicate this (wild) vegetable. There is no exit strategy for this war on weeds.” Scientist Vicki Wojcik, PhD, is Research Director of Pollinator Partnership, the largest organization in the world dedicated to saving pollinators. Wojcik explained that “Pollinators are disappearing as the abundant diverse flowering plants they rely upon are eliminated from agricultural lands, and that roadway ditches offer key habitat and food for these essential creatures. Bees are in severe decline,
but they are the best pollinators for food crops such as fruits and vegetables, including soy and canola. Pesticide residues taken back to the nest or colony may kill larvae.” Meg Sears, PhD, is an Ottawabased environmental health researcher, and chairs the national organization Prevent Cancer Now. She noted that spraying ditches is futile when parsnip is in the field and that there is no evidence that herbicides will permanently eradicate this (wild) vegetable, and that “there is no exit strategy for this war on weeds.” Clearview, the herbicide sprayed to control parsnip, contains two active ingredients with remarkable resemblance to human hormones acting as estrogen-mimickers, but the industrysupplied animal testing for Health Canada does not address these concerns and is limited to information about the active ingredients only, in this case from Dow Chemical. Clearview is mixed with other chemicals to improve spreading and penetration on plants, and the same happens on skin. Extensive research has documented that pesticide formulations are even more toxic than the individual ingredients but the identities of these adjuvants are protected as trade secrets. “Health Canada does not say that Clearview is safe. It assures us that each individual ingredient poses an acceptable risk when used according to directions.” Sears noted. “These directions include no spraying on steep slopes and keeping away from water. That sounds a lot like a ditch to me. One active ingredient is well known to
contaminate groundwater. With fractured bedrock at the surface, Lanark County wells are at high risk according to the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority.” Dr. Sears pointed out that no testing for such pesticides in well water is provided in Lanark County and also that “resistance to pesticides can build over years so it is recommended to switch the types of chemicals. The County proposal to move to another mixture “Truvist” is ill-considered because the chemicals are in identical groups.” At the meeting several organic farmers expressed their concern that organic crops have been destroyed and organic certification lost due to pesticide spray drift, resulting in lawsuits. Spraying is supposed to happen only under “minimal wind speeds” but “minimal” is not defined, and it can be almost impossible to spray only target organisms, even with so-called “spot spraying”. Farmers discussed timing of mowing to catch parsnip as it flowers, before setting seed, to beat it back in fields. Wojcik noted that while insecticides applied to crops during the blooming period kill bees directly, herbicides such as Round-up/Glyophosate and 2,4d are directly toxic to pollinators, and also destroy plants that pollinators depend upon. It is therefore important to encourage the growth of flowering plants such as wildflowers found on sunny roadsides and gardens. Sears, who lives in a “land of poison ivy” near Ottawa regularly gets
poison ivy rash but never parsnip rash. This despite pulling out wheelbarrow loads. “Just pull them out, it’s easy when the roots shrink as the plant flowers but avoid exposing your skin to sunlight, wear long sleeves, and quickly wash off any sap.” Meeting participants were encouraged to contact their municipal and county representatives about their concerns and to keep learning more about this troubling situation in which public education is key to minimize
the risk of being negatively affected by parsnip plants. Several councillors have expressed their discomfort with spraying pesticides at ongoing meetings of Lanark County Council where angry protesters have filled the gallery in increasing numbers, but so far the plan is to continue spraying where wild parsnip has been identified.

Letter to the Editor
Benefits of spraying wild parsnip DEAR EDITOR:
I would like to respond to Ted Mosquin’s recent letter to the editor of this newspaper. In terms of his opposition to spraying wild parsnip in Lanark County, I don’t believe Mr. Mosquin is looking at the bigger picture. Wild parsnip can cause severe skin reactions and even blindness in humans when exposed to the sap of this plant; those that have as a severe reaction to this invasive species may not even know it. Considering this, road and utility workers as well as first responders are at risk of severe burns from this weed species by simply doing their jobs. As an ecologist I expect Mr. Mosquin understands that the largest threats to ecosystems is habitat loss
and invasive species. As wild parsnip is an invasive species, I fail to understand why anyone would want to allow it to spread. As outlined on the Ministry of Ontario Natural Resources and Forestry homepage, wild parsnip can form dense stands that outcompete native plants, reducing biodiversity. In addition, the agricultural impacts of this species reduces the quality of forage crops as well as chemical compounds in the plant are known to reduce weight gain and fertility in livestock that consume it. In addition, wild parsnip is not a significant nectar source for insects. In terms of the Lanark County spray program for wild parsnip, liSee LETTER page 21

cenced and trained technicians will apply the herbicide. The area being sprayed is a small percentage of one per cent of the overall land base of Lanark County. Various studies have shown that the pesticide being used has low toxicity – the processes used to evaluate the safety of pesticides are not all that different than what is used for assessing the safety of medication. I have read this documentation and I see the benefits of using this spray to protect utility staff and first respond-
ers outweigh any potential and minimal impacts to the environment. If Mr. Mosquin or others opposed to spraying wild parsnip have an alternative that is practical in removing this invasive species as well as cost effective for the taxpayer, I suggest they bring it forward. I for one want utility workers and first responders to be safe when they have to undertake their very important work on my behalf.

Blues at the Farm fundraiser concert series starts April 28 Choose The Blues Productions in co-operation with The Winchelsea is pleased to announce a new monthly dinner and show fundraiser series, Blues at the Farm, at The Winchelsea (1567 County Road 31) in Winchester. Blues at the Farm will start with three shows this spring — April 28, May 26 and June 23. Lineup First up on April 28 is Ottawa’s Angelique Francis and family. Only 19, Angelique is considered one of the top emerging female Blues artists in the country — and what a voice. She has already appeared at many major festivals including Ottawa Bluesfest, the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Toronto Unity Festival and the Tremblant International Blues Festival and was just chosen to perform during Juno Week in Ottawa this April. Angelique sings and plays upright bass, guitar and harmonica and is joined for this show by her dad Kiran on drums, younger sister Kharincia on saxophone and Dave Schrader on guitar. For more information, visit www.angeliquefrancis.net. Proceeds from this event will go to the Abigail Hosick Cancer Fund. Next is Toronto’s Jack de Keyzer Band on May 26, which will benefit the 1st North Dundas Brownie & Sparks Unit. Jeff Healey once called Jack de Keyzer "the finest blues guitarist in Canada" and he's an excellent singer, songwriter and bandleader as well. A two-time Juno Award and seven-time Maple Blues Award win-
ner Jack plays the blues in a unique, powerful style blending in elements of rock, funk, swing and jazz. He will be backed by his excellent veteran fourpiece band for this show. Visit www. jackdekeyzer.com. Wrapping up the series on June 23 is Mike Goudreau & The Boppin’ Blues Band from Stanstead, Quebec. If the true test of a great artist is that you recognize him within the first few bars of a song then Mike Goudreau is a great artist. He’s been playing the blues in both official languages for more than 23 years with a boppin’, swingin’ joie de vivre style and many of his original songs have been used in Hollywood films and TV series. Mike will be backed by his five-piece band — including two horns — for this show. Proceeds from this show will go to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation. For more information, visit www. mikegoudreau.com. Cost for each dinner and show is $65 per person (plus HST), and the events run from 7 to 11 p.m. Advance reservations are required. Call The Winchelsea on 613-808-9258. Blues at the Farm is produced by Choose the Blues Productions in Kenmore (www.choosetheblues.ca), in cooperation with The Winchelsea (www. thewinchelsea.com).

Local principal checks out educational practices across the ocean by jennifer westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
A trip to remember! South Branch Elementary School principal Jill Pensa recently returned from a voyage halfway around the world, where she learned how Italian schools are run. The principal exchange program, through the Ontario Principals’ Council, provided 18 principals across the province the opportunity to go and learn about different educational practices around the world. “I feel so lucky to have done this,” said Pensa. She left for Milan, Italy on March 9 and spent a week living with and shadowing Italian principal Anna Griggi, who lives in Bollate and runs a school in Limbiate. “We emailed back and forth before I left,” noted Pensa. “As soon as I found out I was going, I began teaching myself to speak Italian.” Griggi also began teaching herself English, to lessen the language barrier. “It was funny because we’d be driving along and she’d be correcting my Italian and I’d be correcting her English,” commented Pensa. On Monday, March 13, after spending the weekend with Griggi and her family, Pensa received a warm welcome at the school in Limbiate. “You wouldn’t believe the reception they gave me. The students were all outside and they had hung up banners with Canadian and Italian flags and they all sang for me,” she said. “The mayor of Limbiate was

She explained artwork still lined the walls marking Jan. 27, which is the day Auschwitz was liberated in 1945. “A lot of the schools there have gardens. They really focus on connectivity with nature.” She visited two other schools as well, including Scuola Primaria Rinnovata Pizzigoni, which features greenhouses, livestock and an indoor pool. “This is a public school,” Pensa explained. “Everything is purposeful.

Even the gardens are different shapes so the students can learn.” She said the biggest difference between Italian and Ontario elementary schools was having different teachers for every subject, rather than just one teacher per class. “They don’t have anywhere near as much technology as we do,” explained Pensa. “I didn’t see as much group work either.” The Italian curriculum from grades 1 to 8 is contained in 168 pages, whereas just the math curriculum for the Upper Canada District School Board is 132 pages, she noted. “Their curriculum is not as detailed,” Pensa explained. “It just says this is what you need to know by the

The trip also resulted in some new 613-258-1262 ideas Pensa intends to implement at 845 Prescott Street, Kemptville South Branch, including a math plan www.RBHeating.com she brought back to Canada. “The connection to nature is something I think we could explore further here,” she said. Pensa is preparing to welcome Griggi to Kemptville at the end of the month. “Anna will be arriving on April 21,” she said. “She will spend the week of April 24 to 28 at South Branch. On Monday (April 24), we are holding a welcoming ceremony for Anna at 9:30 a.m. I’m going to have our kids sing her a song. The mayor (David Gordon) or deputy mayor (Barb Tobin) will be coming and (Upper Canada District School Board) superintendent David Coombs.” Pensa has been busy teaching her students how to say hello and good- April 22, 8:30am - 3:00pm bye in Italian. “Now I am starting with ‘What’s your name?'” She is planning on bringing Griggi to a local sugar bush, the Thousand Islands and the National Arts Centre during her stay. Griggi will also visit North Grenville District High School and a teacher in Winchester. “I want to show her our method of dispute resolution, which is called the circle. And I want to show her our www.ShopLocalShowcase.ca music program here,” she said.

Ontario Parenting Connection to host first community night April 25 by jennifer westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The Ontario Parenting Connection (OPC), a group seeking to bring local parents together to achieve common goals, is hosting its first community night April 25. “The Ontario Parenting Connection would like to take a moment of council’s time to let you know we have planned four community night events over the course of the year,” said Samantha Kutowy, OPC founder, along with Meghan Coupal, during a deputation to
council April 10. “The objective is to bring together families, organizations and service providers to discuss current issues that are affecting families in North Grenville.” “With over half of the families working outside of North Grenville, sometimes it’s difficult for families and other community members to connect with organizations and service providers to learn about what they do in the community,” she continued. The first community night will feature Grenville County OPP
Constable Cathy Lindsey, discussing programming provided in the schools through the OPP, the criteria for when schools contact the police, the intersections program, when parents can connect with police for assistance and current issues affecting children and youth in North Grenville. It will be held in the Spencerville Room at Grenville Mutual Insurance, located at 380 Colonnade Drive in Kemptville, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. “OPC would like to invite council and the community to at-
tend our first community night,” noted Kutowy. “We hope to see you there and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to inform you about this exciting evening.” People wishing to participate in the community night can register online at ontarioparenting.org. “I think this is a worthwhile presentation because I know a lot of younger parents — and I am not being derogatory — they’re a little bit lost because they don’t have the information,” said North Grenville Mayor David Gordon. “So thank
you for holding this.” Other upcoming OPC events include: community needs assessment focus group Sunday, May 28, from 1 to 4 p.m.; second community night (topic to be announced) Tuesday, June 27, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; third community night (topic to be announced) Tuesday, Sept. 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; and the fourth community night (topic to be announced) Tuesday, Nov. 28, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. All the listed events will be held at the Grenville Mutual Insurance location.

Heavy rain causes issues at wastewater plant had rain today — we’re still experiencing flows coming into the plant that are causing tertiary filter bypass at the plant. So, we’d like to take this time to remind residents that roof leaders and sump pumps can add a significant amount of rainwater when connected to the sanitary system, which can put a strain on our municipal system.” If residents have questions about proper water drainage methods for their homes, they can feel free to contact the water and sewer division at the municipality by calling 613258-9569.

The Kemptville wastewater treatment plant, located off County Road 43, overflowed due to heavy rainfall on April 6 and April 7. “We have one update for council, just in regards to heavy rainfall and additional spring run-off that we’ve had in the last week,” said Mike Finley, superintendent of environmental services, during the council meeting on April 10. “We’ve been experiencing heavy wastewater flows coming in to the wastewater treat-
ment plant, and during this time last week, we began to receive more flow coming into the plant than we could pump through the outflow. This led to a plant overflow.” Municipal operators were on site throughout the overflow event, to ensure the municipality followed all reporting and monitoring requirements, noted Finley. “This overflow ended on Saturday, April 8,” said Finley. “All bypass overflow water did receive treatment from the plant to minimize impacts on the environment.

NGDHS students showcase 'Oliver!' by paulina hrebacka
phrebacka@metroland.com
Last week, the students of the North Grenville District High School musical theatre class opened their school’s gymnasium to the public for two showings of Oliver! The shows took place on Thursday, April 6 at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 8 at 1 p.m. The students’ hard work and rehearsal — which they’d carried out since October — was evident, as their performance showcased their impressive acting and singing talents. The play told a well-rounded story with humour, and included the participation of students from Grade 7 to Grade 12 in various roles. On top of playing the parts, the students were required to design the stage set and cos-

North Grenville discusses possibility of mobile app by paulina hrebacka
phrebacka@metroland.com
A few North Grenville council members may not be ready to move further into the digital age. At the April 3 committee of the whole meeting, the development of the North Grenville mobile app was discussed, chaired by Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. Councillors Jim Bertram and Donovan Arnaud, along with chief administrative officer Brian Carré, each referred to themselves as “from the Jurassic Period” in order to express their unfamiliarity with app technology. The development of the mobile app, which will cost between $1,500 and $5,500, has been officially included in the municipal budget, and will be free for users to download on their phone or tablet. Deputy clerk Katie Valentin led the discussion with descriptions of two different kinds of apps and sought council’s direction as to how they should proceed with the project. “The one-stop app is basically a watered-down version of a municipal website,” said Valentin. “It’s a general information app, which uses key items that residents are most often looking for — such as garbage and recycling, information about government, and an events calendar with a ‘have your say’ button at the bottom.”
Valentin stressed the importance of quick, accessible information and easy navigation. “It’s not just one item — there’s lots of municipal information, but it’s only the most requested items that are included in the app. Keep in mind that when you’re looking at a little screen, you want to be as helpful as you can, and direct users to the information they’re actually interested in.” The second option, a service-specific app, would provide information on only one area of the municipality. “Garbage and recycling tends to be a really popular one in Ontario right now,” said Valentin. “It affects residents on a daily and weekly basis, and is often changing and getting more complicated.” Valentin had some app examples from Waterloo and Niagara. “The region of Niagara has a bicycle maps app, which you can take with you out on the trails. There’s a number of transit apps, and some of the bigger centers have public health apps. It could be anything you want — it could even be a recreation app,” she explained. The second phase of Valentin’s presentation included Google analytics on the user traffic North Grenville website. Some of the presented statistics showed 321,496 annual page views; 59,405 annual users, breaking down to 162 users daily; an annual number of sessions of 118,668; and

the average length of a session was www.heartandstroke.on.ca one minute and 54 seconds. Mayor David Gordon was impressed with the North Grenville website’s user traffic. “Just looking at the number of sessions for our website, the number of users and the number of page views, this is the way to go,” he commented. “I mean, number of RCHS IS SEEKING BOARD VOLUNTEERS page views — 321, 496. That’s a success right there.” Providing health care is a dynamic and challenging environment.

RCHS is “It kind of sounds silly, but it’s my a vibrant organization which oversees the provision of a broad range of services generation, so you can blame me,” (including primary health care, health promotion, diabetes education, telemedicine Valentin replied. “We don’t want to etc.) in support of the health and well-being of members of our communities. have to type in a web address on our We require Board Members with: knowledge of the community; a wish to learn phone, and then click a link, and then more about health and social support services; and a desire to improve the health click another link.

North Grenville councillor brings forward motions regarding business investment, infrastructure by jennifer westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
North Grenville Coun. Jim Bertram brought three new business items to the council table on April 10. “I’ll read the first motion,” began Bertram. “Moved by myself, seconded by Coun. (Donovan) Arnaud, be it resolved that a letter be directed to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce supporting their call for policies to strongly favour business investment …” He explained the chamber of commerce, along with other agencies that monitor the provincial economy, know government policies are creating a poor economic climate. “Our economy — provincial economy — continues to decline in strategic areas,” commented Bertram. “The government of Ontario must reorient its policies in such a way to favour our rich and varied development of economic growth, as opposed to the serious decline of the last 10 years. I encourage my colleagues to support the chamber in its call for change in policies away from economy destroyers to those who carry growth in our economy.” While she indicated she was in support of the motion, deputy mayor Barb Tobin wanted clarification on who would write the letter and where it would be directed. “I would anticipate it would be a letter from council and signed by the authority (mayor) in council,” said Bertram. “I would write a letter of support along the lines which I have indicated. It should be circulated to other Ontario municipalities, with requests for motions of support as well. And I would like a copy of the letter to be forwarded to appropriate provincial ministries.” “I fully support this, but who is writing the letter?” asked Tobin. “This is a resolution, so it gives direction. You’re asking the CAO, you’re asking the mayor — who is going to write the letter on behalf of us to send this out? That needs to be in the resolution in order for me to understand how we’re directing this.” Bertram offered to amend the motion to state: ‘a letter authored by the mayor.’ The motion was passed by council. Infrastructure, AMO Bertram then brought forward another new business item for council’s consideration. “Moved by myself, seconded by Coun. (Donovan) Arnaud, be it resolved that the Municipality of North Grenville monitor the infrastructure file and further, that perceived shortcomings at the provincial level be clearly communicated to our MPP (Steve Clark) and also to MPP Sylvia Jones (provincial infrastructure critic) and also to appropriate provincial ministries,” read Bertram. “Again, it’s the same thing — it’s language for me,” commented Tobin. “ … What are we monitoring, who is the municipality other than the corporation? So, are we asking someone spe-
cifically to monitor this file? Because I believe staff do that for us already. And ‘perceived shortcomings be clearly communicated?’ So how are we clearly communicating to these individuals? A resolution has to be specific — there needs to be a beginning, middle and an end task so we can check off what’s been done. That is missing in this for me.” “I agree with the deputy mayor,” said mayor David Gordon. “Well I’d like to amend it so it is satisfactory then,” noted Bertram. Chief administrative officer Brian Carré noted his understanding of Bertram’s motion was “you want staff to monitor the infrastructure file and what I get from infrastructure file is when the Municipality of North Grenville chooses to apply for infrastructure funding, and if we are not successful or successful, is to monitor that as we go through and bring forward any shortcomings to this council for the council to make it known to MPP Sylvia Jones.” The motion was reworded, but defeated by council all the same, with a vote of 3 to 2. The third new business item Bertram brought forward focused on supporting the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). “Moved by myself, seconded by Coun. Arnaud, be it resolved that whereas it’s apparent that significant concerns exist relative to measures in Bill 68 (Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017), referring to integrity commissioners and codes of conduct and whereas representatives AMO contacted council members urging us to support changes in the proposed legislation, now therefore be it resolved that the council of the Municipality of North Grenville support AMO’s initial analysis of Bill 68 and the concerns it identifies,” read Bertram.
“It says there’s been an approach to councillors to do this and I haven’t seen this,” noted Tobin. “We are a member of AMO. We are supporting this. So I can’t support us patting ourselves on the back again for the presentation they are about to make. We fully support it by paying our membership dues and if they had requested this — I will be contacting the (AMO) office to find out if they did solicit our support, because I think this is really important. If they really wanted full support from 427 municipalities, it would
make a difference …” Bertram said this motion “doesn’t refer to anyone patting anyone on the back”. “I personally would find it difficult given the arthritis in my shoulder and my age to actually pat myself on the back,” he stated. “This is simply meant to give an extra bit of support to an organization which represents us and that has requested that support.” “Bill 68 — it scares me,” commented Gordon. “Why doesn’t Bill 68 apply to provincial ministers or the MPPs? It seems like it is a
direct attack on municipal councillors. This is just another erosion of our powers — or lack of powers — and as I said, this definitely worries me, so this is the one reason I am supporting this.” Tobin clarified she would supported Bertram’s efforts, “but I’m not supporting
sending a second letter on top of the support we are sending them.” “10-4,” said Gordon. “I’m glad you didn’t follow that with ‘little buddy’ or something,” joked Tobin. The motion was passed by council with Tobin the only member in opposition.

Just kidding!
ell, sort of. I am no longer the reporter for The Kemptville Advance, but I have been granted permission to continue writing my columns each week. So I am gone, yet here. If that makes sense… So what can I write about this week to make people laugh? How about my mother? I love my mother, for the record. She is a delightsome lady. She has pulled me out of many bottomless pits of doom. She is always there for me when I need a babysitter at the last minute. She is a shoulder to lean on when I am down and the person I call when I need to chat about life’s mysteries. And she can cook! What more could you ask for in a mother? Well, for one thing I’d like her to stop spoiling my children! I get it – it’s a grandparent’s job to spoil kids rotten. However, my mother appears determined to reach a whole new level of spoiling. Allow me to explain: I overheard my oldest son discussing ‘Hatchimals’ with my mother on the phone. ‘Hatchimals,’ for those who don’t know, are little creatures that break themselves out of plastic eggs when you take them out of their package and then begin speaking to you. The creepy little things have glowing eyes that change colour depending on their mood. You must care
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION for these demons as if they are real human babies, petting and caressing them into submissive happiness. It’s very odd. As soon as I heard my son talking about these things with my mom, alarm bells went off in my head. I grabbed the phone from him and told her, in no uncertain terms, not to get my children ‘Hatchimals.’ She promised me, without resistance, not to buy them. The next day – no word of a lie – she showed up at my house with three ‘Hatchimals’ in tow. Are you serious, mother? We had this discussion – less than 24 hours ago. I laughed it off, as I must, because I have no power to stop her from spoiling my kids. The more I resist, the more toys and treats she brings over. I’m going to have to start some reverse psychology tactics on her. Yes, please mother, buy my children all these toys for doing nothing aside from looking cute. Think of all the money you’re saving me by showering them with gifts! Wish me luck on this new method. I am going to need it.

The cat came back … to play with my emotions
“
The cat came back, the very next day … the cat came back — we thought he was a goner but the cat came back, he just wouldn’t stay away …” — Harry Miller, 1893. Monday was not a good day. It started off OK, when the temperature rose to 23 degrees in the sunshine. But when I stepped out onto the back porch, the Farmer met me with a hard look on his face. “Go back in the house, please.” “Huh?” that was rude, I thought. Then … “Is there a dead cat in the pool?!” I guessed it. It has only happened a couple of times in the 10 years I have been at the farm, because most of our cats are far too smart to go near the pool. We lost a kitten once, and a stray who was obviously unfamiliar with the landscape. I needed to know who the victim was this time, and I dreaded the answer. “I need to see him,” I said, fearing the worst. Junior, one of our two barn cats who overwinters in the house, had only started his springtime excursions the day before. Could he be the cat who fell in
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
the pool? The Farmer didn’t want to show me. I grabbed the feed bag he was holding and peeked inside. The wet body was mostly grey. I started to cry despite myself, and stomped off toward the house. It certainly looked like Junior the grey tabby to me. “I don’t think he fell in,” said the Farmer. "He was on top of the ice. It’s like he was in a fight with another cat and just died there.” I slammed the door behind me and vowed to buy a pool cover so we would never lose another cat. I blamed myself for announcing the weather forecast to Junior and shoving him and his siblings outside. The other cats were acting strangely, sitting at the patio door and staring out at the pool. Perhaps they had witnessed the
entire unfortunate event. I cried intermittently throughout the day, whenever I thought of my cheerful, rambunctious cat who trusted me for his care and safety. I felt sick and couldn’t eat. Tuesday was a little better. I had a number of work-related distractions and needed to focus on writing assignments so I successfully put Junior out of my mind for most of the day. Wednesday morning I went outside to check on our lame calf. I found her lying in the woodpile, out of the wind. Her foot is healing well, and I like that she lets me put hands on her. That always makes it easier if you have to catch them to treat them or to take milk for babies in the future. On my way back into the house, I heard a “mrrttt” and saw a grey blur shoot through my legs. Junior! The missing cat had returned from the dead. I followed him into the basement, where he allowed me to pet him as he filled his face with food. He seemed rather frantic, as if he had been through quite an experience. For the rest of the morning
he was quite vocal, either purring with voiced breathing as he groomed himself in front of the wood stove, or sitting at my feet as I worked in the kitchen and at my desk, a barrage of kitty questions directed at me. Junior spent a good part of Wednesday morning racing up and down the stairs after Sheila and Sammy. He appeared quite happy to be home. He rolled on his back and ripped at the carpet on the stairs, forcing me to lock him in the basement until he calmed down. Junior is back. I feel very bad about the cat who died in or around my pool, and will take steps to ensure no
one falls into it and drowns ever again. I still have no idea which cat ran out of his nine lives. I don’t think it was the white and black stray tomcat who likes to engage Sammy in fights that leave holes in his leg. The cat I saw was grey. Perhaps it was another stray. This time of year the males are off wandering to see who they can fight for territory. They are looking for females to impregnate and leaving a trail of wounded warriors in their wake. I suspect Junior knows, and is trying to tell me. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Brewed Awakenings fundraiser benefitting local charities by paulina hrebacka
phrebacka@metroland.com
A Kemptville coffee shop, Brewed Awakenings, has been selling heart-shaped cookies as a fundraising effort for local charities. The chocolate chip shortbread cookies are made in-house at the shop, and 100 per cent of the proceeds are donated to a different charity every month. “We were approached just over a year ago by Habitat for Humanity to participate in their ‘Share the Love’ campaign,” said owner Kika Smith. “That is where the idea for the heart-shaped cookie came from.
We raised over $300 for the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in town, and because it received such a great response, we felt that there were other groups that could benefit from the heart-shaped cookie sales.” Some of the recipients have been North Grenville Accessible Transportation, Douvris Martial Arts Canadian Karate Team, Huntington's Society of Canada, Ryan's Well and Neon Night for Childhood Cancer.
“We have raised anywhere from $150 — $300 for local groups,” Kika said. “We are very proud to be able to give back to our community in this way and we love seeing the support that our heart-shaped cookies receive.” During the month of April, Brewed Awakenings is donating the proceeds from the shortbread cookie sales to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville organization.

people to be printing out this recycling paperwork,” Tobin said. “It’s a paper dispenser, in one way.” Coun. Frank Onasanya agreed with Tobin. “I think it’s the best way to go, because we have to stop killing trees,” he said. Valentin went on to address the potential for add-ons within the one-stop app, which she referred to as modules. “You can pick any of them, and each of them cost a certain amount.
You can make it as cheap or as expensive as you’d like,” she explained. “The app won’t contain as much information as the website, so we need to give the public the most bang for their buck, essentially.” In terms of the app’s content, Valentin voiced some of her own suggestions. “The one thing I would caution is to really focus on information that the public is trying to access already,” she stressed. “... That would be my suggestion — to be a little careful about how much information you put on it.”

Station Theatre gears up for 'The Chalk Garden' Although it premièred a good halfcentury ago on Broadway, Enid Bagnold’s The Chalk Garden, still captivates audiences with its dark comedy, subtle wit and mysterious characters. Having all the earmarks of a classic thriller, seasoned director Lynda Daniluk assures audiencegoers they won’t agree on what happens at the end of the play. Watch the disturbed granddaughter who lights fires pander to her grandmother who dotes on her; wonder why the silent governess shies away from meeting the venerable old judge, and ask why a dying butler rules the roost. Daniluk says members of the audience will have to pay close attention to get the ‘real’ story. And what is that story? Critic Charles Spencer sums it up as combining “tart wit with a moving understanding that damaged lives can sometimes be repaired.” Although some call it a comedy, others say it’s a drama; audiences will react both ways to the fast, sometimes scathing, often pointed and full of misunderstanding dialogue. The grandmother, Mrs. St. Maugham, is played by Sue Parsons. The old lady gardens long hours in the chalky earth outside her grandly dilapidated manor — but nothing grows. When the taciturn governess, Miss Madrigal, played by Krista Duff arrives, not only does she bring a secretive background but also a wealth of knowledge on how to grow flowers in a chalk garden. Where did that knowledge come from? Rich Croteau plays Maitland, the
surly, cranky downstairs butler, and Lise Nelson takes on two small roles — the little lady and the nurse. As the play progresses, Miss Madrigal tentatively sets to work on 16-year-old Laurel (Grace Lee) and when Laurel’s mother, Olivia (Katharine Coleman) — married, divorced, remarried and pregnant — returns, announcing she is taking her daughter back, things get knotty. It’s the Judge’s (Terry Watkiss) realization that brings the situation to the fore. Take note. In this play it’s the underlying currents and the background intrigue that lead the rich and deep characters through the story’s twists and turns to the surprising ending. Audiences will find it compelling and think about it long after it’s over. Daniluk says she’s chosen “a wonderful cast and crew; often the crew don’t get enough credit but they’re the ones who perform the magic of putting things together and making things happen.” Before The Chalk Garden opens April 28 (and runs to May 7), plan to see the 7 p.m. showing of Lion the evening of April 21 or 22 starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, a dramatic film of memories and love. Tickets for The Chalk Garden are on sale now and are available at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. E., Smiths Falls (cash only), smithsfallstheatre. com (PayPal/Visa/MasterCard), by phone at 613-283-0300 (Visa/MasterCard), or at the door, if available, a half-hour before performance (cash only).

Stone Fence Theatre helps raise more than $21,000 for local health care Throughout last fall and into January, Stone Fence Theatre hit the road on a musical tour raising money for local health care. The totals are in and they look healthy. In total, the 10 performances of High Times at the Heart Institute raised $21,379 for a number of local hospitals and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. The musical, a comedy about aging heart patients and health care, was performed in Eganville, Renfrew, Barry’s Bay, Deep River, Pembroke, Almonte and Ottawa. Each performance was a partnership with the local hospital foundations, with their staff and
volunteers participating in ticket sales and promotion, production details and additional fundraising such as 50/50 draws and concessions. In several communities, local doctors also made cameo appearances. Two shows in Eganville and a gala dinner in Ottawa raised $6,575 directly for the Heart Institute. This week, playwright and producer Ish Theilheimer met with the directors of those hospital partners to celebrate and discuss possibilities for future partnerships. “We were so pleased with the results of this initiative, I’m hopeful we can do something similar again.

learned a lot and have ideas for how to improve,” he said. The hospital foundation staff that met in Eganville were Toni Lavigne-Conway of St. Frances Valley Healthcare, Hannah MacMillan of Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Ashley Pardy of Deep River District Hospital, Alan Roberts of Almonte General Hospital, and Nancy Warren of Pembroke Regional Hospital. David Rattray, who brought the show
to Ottawa through his involvement with the board of the Heart Institute, was unable to attend. “I’m very thankful to the hospitals for welcoming us and the staff who helped with all kinds of details,” said Theilheimer. “I’m also very thankful to our hard-working artists and crew, who deserve a lot of thanks. Touring is a lot of work for them.” Chantal Elie-Sernoskie directed the show,
which featured John Haslam, Fran Pinkerton, Shirley Hill, Lesley Sneddon, Peter Brown (also on keys), Evan Burgess (also on guitar), and Theilheimer on percussion. While cast and crew of Stone Fence Theatre are hard at work rehearsing a new show for this summer, Theilheimer hopes this isn’t the last folks will see of High Times at the Heart Institute.

Enjoy the music but soak up Nashville’s history In February my wife Kathleen and I embarked on a short getaway to Nashville in an effort to escape the most persistent winter we’ve ever experienced here. Our enjoyable week in the southeastern United States couldn’t have been better weather-wise. Nashville set two all-time daily temperature highs while we were in the country music capital. On Feb. 23 the mercury shot up to 79 F (26.1 Celsius) and the following day it was a gorgeous 81 F (27.2 C). Talk about reinvigorating! Music City is booming these days. In fact we haven’t seen so many construction cranes in one place since a visit to Dublin, Ireland in 2006 during the days of the so-called “Celtic Tiger.” While the economic boom in the Republic of Ireland fizzled and has struggled to regain form, Nashville is currently experiencing a major economic upswing. As I wrote in a previous column, Nashville is about much more than country music. When it comes to economic drivers the music industry is third on the list, producing some $10 billion (US) in revenue annually. Leading the way is medicine which, as Canadians know, is a business south of the border. The many hospitals and medical facilities in Nashville generate nearly $40 billion annually. Vanderbilt University Medical Center alone has a staff of 24,000. Tourism and entertainment (hotels, restaurants etc.) is a distant second in terms of Nashville money makers at approximately $20 B per year. Nashville isn’t just a tourist destination. On average 85 people a day move to Nashville. Yes, that’s every day of the year! Estimates are that Nashville and its burgeoning suburbs will double their current population (estimated at 1.8 million people) in

just seven years. During this visit we stayed in downtown Nashville which proved to be outstanding. It’s easy to get around and by American standards Nashville is a very safe city. We had a great time experiencing Nashville’s non-stop music scene. But when we weren’t in the honky-tonks we turned our attention to our favourite pursuit, history. Nashville is the Tennessee state capital and that means there is a lot of history attached to the place. Tennessee was the last state to secede from the union, early in American Civil War (1861-1865) and the first to return. The battles that ultimately destroyed the Confederate Army of Tennessee were fought in nearby Franklin on Nov. 30, 1864 and two weeks later in Nashville. On the final full day of our visit Kathy and I embarked on a tour of two Nashville-area plantations which of course were at the heart of the upheaval that sparked the Civil War in the first place. Impressive mansion Belle Meade Plantation, located in the Nashville suburb which bears its name, is definitely worth a visit. All but 10 acres of the former plantation property has long since been sold for development. Today the striking mansion (circa 1820) is within easy viewing distance of modern homes and apartments which definitely affects the atmosphere. You don’t feel you are on a former southern plantation — until you tour the house and its various outbuild-
ings that is. Once inside you can easily picture what life must have been like for the wealthy Harding family that owned and operated the once sprawling (5,400 acres) agricultural enterprise. We were intrigued by the family tree which has a major connection to the Carnton Plantation in Franklin, a place we are very familiar with due to our Carleton Place sister city committee connection. Carleton Place and Franklin have been twinned for 12 years. Elizabeth McGavock (18191867) married into the Harding family the longtime owners of Belle Meade Plantation. She was the second wife of William Giles Harding who inherited the property from his father John. Elizabeth was the daughter of Randal McGavock, a former mayor of Nashville and owner of Carnton Plantation. Among the 10 preserved structures at Belle Meade is the original log cabin (circa 1790) purchased by John Harding in 1807. Visitors can also view a restored slave cabin. At the end of the Civil War 136 enslaved men, women and children at Belle Meade farm gained their freedom. Another structure, maintained as a memorial to the Harding’s, is the former family mausoleum. Following their sale of the farm in 1906 the remains of 24 deceased family members were relocated to Mount Olivet Cemetery in Nashville. There is also a large carriage house and stable on the property part of which houses the visitor centre. Following a current trend much of the sprawling structure is now rented out for special events including weddings. In 2007 the association which runs Belle Meade as a museum added a winery where visitors can sample Tennessee red and
white wines made from a native southern grape called muscadine. In closing, here are a few interesting facts about Belle Meade and its original owners. William Giles Harding was a major supporter of the southern cause and donated $500,000 (a huge sum at the time) to the Confederate Army. In 1862 he was arrested by federal troops and spent six months in prison at Fort Mackinac, in northern Michigan, before being released. Belle Meade mansion served as Confederate headquarters during the Battle of Nashville and there was a skirmish on the front lawn in December 1864. If you look closely you can still see bullet marks in the stone columns. Belle Meade was also a stud farm and home to both Bonnie Scotland (his portrait is in the ground floor parlour of the house) and Enquirer whose bloodlines dominate American Thoroughbred racing to this day. Among those who boarded horses at Belle Meade was Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States. Kathy and I toured Jackson’s nearby plantation, The Hermitage, the same day we visited Belle Meade. I will provide some details about that intriguing visit next week.

Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. – Your loving family

COYLES - In loving memory of a dear husband, Elmer Nicholas, who passed away April 18, 1993. I miss him when I need a friend, On him I always could depend He cheered by way, He soothed my pain, God grant some day we’ll meet again. My lips cannot say how I loved him My heart cannot tell what to say, God alone knows how I miss him, In my home that is lonesome today. A beautiful memory dearer than gold, Of a husband whose worth can never be told, Alone and unseen he stands by my side, and whispers, “don’t grieve dear, death cannot divide.” Loved and missed always, Jean

RODFORD, Gordon – In loving memory of my husband, father, grand-father and greatgrandfather who passed away April 21, 2012. GOD’S GARDEN God looked around His garden And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this Earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and Lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Forever remembered by Wife Bernice Children, Grandchildren and Great-grandchildren and your good pal Coco

OBST, Wanda - In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003. Time passes… our grief remains… You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. 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

Kinch, cecil W. – In memory of a dear Father, Father-in-law, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, who passed away April 22, 2013. 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. The memories are vivid, As the special day arrived. And all our hearts and souls, Remember you with pride. The loss of you still hurts us, But the memory lingers there. 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. Oh, those memories… DAD There is no way to greet you, But there is no more pain to bear. We love you Marilyn, Terry and Sherry, Brian and Marion and Families

Car Counsellor: High octane fuel doesn’t have any ‘magic abilities’ “Hi Brian, Can you clarify gasoline octane? Would it hurt your engine if you run a lower octane to save a few bucks? Some say run a tank of high octane once in a while to clean the engine; is this a myth?” Thanks very much Regards, Phil Octane is basically a hydrocarbon and alkane substance added to fuel for one basic purpose; to reduce engine knock caused by improper combustion. It is a fairly volatile substance and most regular gasoline carries an octane rating of between 87 and 91 while premium fuel averages between 91 and 93. The higher the engine’s compression ratio, the more important it is to select the correct octane rated fuel as recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer. For many higher performance vehicles (especially those made in Europe) running regular grade fuel, when premium is required, may lead to noticeably poorer performance and the odd ‘check engine’ light warnings. Using high octane fuel in a vehicle that doesn’t need it is pretty much a waste of time and money. You won’t see any measureable improvement in fuel economy or performance and it doesn’t have any magic abilities to clean internal engine components. However, as the season of classic cars is upon us with the onset of nicAUCTIONS

er weather, it is important to use premium grade fuel in anything that still uses a carburetor instead of fuel injection. Purchasing premium fuel is pretty much the only way to avoid getting ethanol in your tank. Ethanol will cause a host of problems in fuel lines and carbs in anything from a lawn mower to a classic muscle car and all fuel station pumps are required to label their pumps to warn of ethanol contents. Even ethanol concentrations in gasoline as low as 10 per cent can cause problems in these types of engines. If you’ve ever been interested in electric vehicles, one of the best opportunities to learn about them is coming up this weekend. The 10th annual North Grenville Sustainability Fair is set for Sunday, April 23 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville (285 County Rd. 44) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Part of this very popular event will be an electric car show featuring all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles from a wide variety of

humour and a far bit of heart. Zach Braff has outdone himself with Going in Style. This film is clever and wickedly funny. Their plan is elegant and slick. Above and beyond all that, this film has heart. Braff works very hard to show the friendship between these three characters. The lengths to which they’re willing to go for one another. The closeness they share. It’s beautiful and it draws you in. It’s like watching three great friends laughing at all the inside jokes they’ve shared over a lifetime, and you get to laugh, too, because you’re a part of it all. It’s hard to know what to say about Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin. I mean, they could
automakers. One of the big benefits to this show is that the vehicles are accompanied by their owner/drivers giving you a chance to find out exactly how regular commuters are making out with their fuel-free driving. Rather than listen to some overblown sales hype, you can ask questions and get real answers from real electric car owners who can cut through the fluff and give you the straight goods. There will also be dealership sponsored electric vehicles available for road testing. I’ve attended this event in the past and plan on going again this year, as it is one of the best in the region. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Metroland Media, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

have starred in The Power Rangers and been awesome. These guys are legends. Watching them develop that easy camaraderie and deliver those brilliantly witty lines is a joy. Watching them rob that bank together with that kind of style and nerve is incredible. Kudos has to go to the rest of the cast. Joey King, who plays Joe’s granddaughter; John Ortiz; and Ann-Margret, who plays Albert’s love interest, are fantastic. It’s like having all the pieces of a puzzle come together perfectly as if by magic. This is how you make a heist film. This is how you tell a story about friendship. Going in Style is how it’s done.

A woman in search of her heart transplant donor's family isn't immediately the stuff of laughs, but BarnDoor Productions' new show, The Tin Woman, manages to find both laughter and drama in the story. The Tin Woman is a comedy/drama from Sean Grennan, an American playwright who is getting a lot of attention these days. It's the simple story of a heart transplant recipient who goes in search of her donor's family, looking for answers and peace. The show has been hailed as "Wonderful!" and "The stuff of humanity" by reviewers throughout the American mid-west, where it has been making the rounds the past two years. It opens at Perth's Full Circle Theatre on Friday, April 21 and features a cast of veteran BarnDoor Productions' (BDP) performers, others making their first BarnDoor appearances — and still others returning to BarnDoor's stage for the first time in a while. All in all, it adds up to a powerful (and funny) show that both entertains and moves the audience and that provides some real performing challenges for the cast. It's a fine conclusion to a BDP's 22nd mainstage series, which has already included one of the hottest Broadway shows of the last few years, an

BarnDoor Productions’ new comedy/drama, opening this Friday at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. The show runs until April 30. all-original adaptation of a classic Christmas story, and a brand-new version of a hundred-year old mystery. The Tin Woman rounds out the season with some new and exciting work that hasn't (yet) made its way to Broadway. The Tin Woman is directed by Janice Jacklin, whose recent work has included some shows that have made a memorable mark at Full Circle Theatre: Under Milk Wood, God of Carnage, Death of a Salesman and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? It's the kind of challenge that Janice most enjoys: to work with an intimate group creating an intimate show. Also coming up at Full Circle Theatre, on Monday, April 24, is an open audition for BDP's July production, Trifles, Tea & Tape. That's a program of three oneacts, all of them about small things, that add up to big evening of theatre. The show needs three women and four men — everybody is welcome at the audition, which will begin at 7 p.m. All of the details of the show are on the Audition page at www.barndoorproductions.ca. BDP is also continuing their search for the people needed for their August production — a brand-new, 2,400 year-old musical comedy! Lysistrata, which debuted in 411 B.C., is the original play of women's empowerment and, in its new version, it's a snappy, sassy, sexy, funny show that needs the biggest cast BDP has put together in decades. If you want to have more fun than a barrel of Greek monkeys, you want to be in Lysistrata. Again, all the details are on BDP's website. The seven performances of The Tin Woman will take BDP right up to the end of April — ready to launch into a full set of events for May. Come on out and see what the excitement is all about. The Tin Woman runs April 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 at 8 p.m. and April 23 and 30 at 2 p.m. at the air-conditioned, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; $10 for students. All of the details, including ticket information, for all of the events at Full Circle Theatre are at www. barndoorproductions.ca.

Featured pets Three adorable siblings, Rosa, Ross and Riley will be at Perth Pet Valu Friday, April 21 to kick off the
Pet Adoption Weekend. They were born on Christmas Eve so are barely 4 months old. Their buddy Blossom will also be in Perth, she is a couple of weeks younger. All four are as active and playful as you could want a kitten to be, and oh so snuggly. Also in the pet stores are our Junior, Addison, Squeaker and Ash — older but not old, and facing stiff competition from kittens up for adoption.
Ash Ash — the now-famous mom who was found in a dumpster with her five kittens! Four of the kittens have found homes, the fifth will probably be successful very soon as she has finally come out of her shell, so now it is Ash's turn. She is a gentle, petite lady who will return your love 10-fold.
Junior Sweet, gentle Junior has made himself quite at home at the store, but a proper home is what he really craves. An older gentleman at about 8 years of age, he still has a lot of life to live and a lot of love to give Barn cats Addison The featured cats are all super-

Give your old furniture
A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE The arrival of spring inspires many homeowners to redecorate one or several rooms in their homes. Does your outdated dresser make you cringe? Do your stained pillows leave you feeling embarrassed every time you have company? Do your bedside tables clash with the delicate, romantic design that you have in store for your bedroom? Before donating your old furniture to charity or leaving it by the roadside, consider upgrading its look instead. The idea is simple: give your old pieces of furniture a fresh new look by changing the colour, adding decorative elements (new knobs, stencilling, etc.) or giving them a new purpose altogether. One of the best things about reconditioning your old household objects is the money you’ll save. Needless to say that restoring your current furniture is significantly less expensive than buying brand-new items.
TRUST A PROFESSIONAL If DIY projects aren’t your forte, know that there are a number of design professionals that specialize in this line of work. They can transform your furniture to match current trends or your design preferences — the choice is yours!
For example, wooden chairs that are still solid but showing signs of wear (chipped paint, stained or torn seat cushions, etc.) are not automatically condemned to the junkyard! All you need to do is sand, repaint and reupholster the seats with a fabric that complements your dining room décor.
VINTAGE DESIGN
ANTIQUE BIRDCAGES: precious and romantic Sometimes, in country-style weddings, a beautiful birdcage serves as a holding chamber for greeting cards. Today, this vintage decorative item is increasingly used to embellish spaces defined by pure, innocent and romantic design. Often decorated with finely crafted flowers or candles, these metal antique cages are adorable, especially when painted a soft colour like cream, mint green, rose gold, pale blue or yellow. Visit specialty retailers and vintage shops in your area to unearth an authentic antique cage — or at least a faithful replica — to complete your rustic-inspired décor.

BOHO-INSPIRED DESIGN: eclectic, exotic and nostalgic
Boho-chic is shaping up to be this year’s must-have design trend. Short for bohemian, this relaxed style draws its inspiration from the eclectic 70s — an era known for peace, love, hope and inclusiveness. Road trips, rock music and sun-drenched summers — those were the days! If you’re feeling nostalgic, travel back to a more carefree time by following these five basic boho design tips. 1. Choose decorative elements inspired by the desert and Native American culture — for example, cactus plants, cow skulls, dream catchers, arrows and tepees. 2. Invest in vintage furniture and pieces that look delicately worn, staying away from anything too clean-cut and modern (sorry, Ikea won’t work!). 3. Don’t be afraid to mix pastels, psychedelic patterns and bright, neon hues. The more eclectic, the better! 4. Incorporate items made of earthy, organic materials like macramé, rattan, wood and wicker. Adding a braided hamac is the perfect way to nail a 100 per cent bohemian design. 5. Add a touch of nature to your boho-inspired décor with a collection of succulent plants like aloe, agave and cacti. Need more inspiration? Here are a few other items that perfectly complement boho-inspired interiors: • Woven wall art • Tassels • Beaded curtains • Terracotta pots • Shells • Floral print • Ethnic masks • Tie-dye If you’re inspired by the eclectic 70s, a boho-inspired interior might be right for you! or figurines • Folding fans

OF FLORAL PRINT
Does floral wallpaper remind you of your grandmother’s 1950s bedspread? Do you refuse to even consider incorporating a floral pattern in your home’s design because flowers are just so “cheesy?” Nonsense! In 2017, floral print serves as an endless source of inspiration for many interior designers.
Contrary to the cold, industrial and minimalist design trend of the last several years, floral is finally making a comeback. Appropriate for every type of dwelling, this vibrant (or subtle — it’s up to you) motif embellishes carpets, walls and a variety of household objects like pillows, clocks, bed sheets and curtains. Visit the most inspiring home décor retailers in your region to find timeless floral pieces that will leave a lasting impression.
FLORAL WALLS Are you easily seduced by extravagance? Then the following design tip should leave you feeling inspired. Homeowners with romantic — and sometimes, eccentric — tastes often choose to cover an entire wall of their house with floral fabric. The result? Nothing short of spectacular! If you’re on a tight budget or just aren’t feeling bold enough, kick off the spring season with a beautiful DIY project instead. With a metal rectangular grid and a bouquet of artificial flowers, you can create your own wall art. Just wind the plastic stems around the metal bars for a beautiful piece that will look great in your living room, bedroom or foyer.

Is your gas fireplace properly maintained? No matter what type of heating you use during the winter, you definitely don’t want it to let you down on a freezing day — or night! If you own a fireplace that runs on propane or natural gas, know that your unit should be inspected and cleaned every year. The main reasons for this are outlined below. PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY Here are some of the instant benefits of cleaning a gas fireplace: • Ensures optimal performance • Reduces the risk of failure and breakdown • Limits heat loss • Preserves its appearance • Protects from fire hazards • Prolongs its life expectancy • Reduces harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE As you can see, investing in the maintenance of your gas fireplace makes sense.

MARBLE:
only for the wealthy? Not anymore!
Marble. The word alone evokes prestige, nobility, elegance, refinement and wealth. Do you dream of having some in your home, but think you’ll never be able to afford any? Think again! Here are some ways to include this luxurious material in your home’s decor without breaking the bank.
When it’s used for architectural purposes, such as for columns, countertops and floors, marble does require a considerable investment. For your information, a quality marble countertop retails around $200 per square foot. However, practical or decorative marble accent pieces are a growing trend. Here are a few examples of what’s available in stores: • • • • • • • •
Clocks Lamps Rolling pins Cutting boards Serving trays Coasters End tables Candlesticks
It’s hard to stay stone-faced in the presence of these incredibly chic and delightfully affordable accents. Visit your local home decoration stores in search of a timeless creation to fall in love with.
ORIGIN AND APPEARANCE Marble mostly comes from Europe but is also quarried in North America and Asia. Mother Nature gives it streaks and swirls of different colours, from blacks, greens, pinks, reds and purples to the classic white veined with grey. A true rainbow of possibilities! DID YOU KNOW… Some marble is transparent and can be backlit with LED accent lighting? Wow factor guaranteed!
• Adjust the thermocouple and thermopile • Calculate and adjust the gas pressure • Detect any leaks • Check that the pilot is working • Clean the viewing glass • Check the ventilation A bit of preventative maintenance could save you from many unpleasant surprises in the short or long term. Have a local company regularly inspect and maintain your gas fireplace to stay safe, comfortable and healthy at home.

A FRESH COAT OF PAINT
Do you often feel an overwhelming urge to crack out your paintbrush and give your walls a fresh new look inspired by the season’s hottest colours? If you like to stay on top of the latest design trends, here’s what’s in vogue for summer 2017.
• Woodland themes. Colours that bring to mind a peaceful stroll through the woods are must-haves in trendy, Zen-inspired homes this year. For inspiration, think of natural elements like leaves, pine needles, ferns, moss, mushrooms, bark and stone. Adding simple, earthy tones to your home is the perfect way to infuse some peace and serenity into your life. • Nocturnal skies. This year, colour schemes featuring gradients of blue, grey and purple are transporting trendsetters to a place where the stars — and unexplored galaxies — enchant us day and night. For a truly original, dreamlike design, consult a specialist about the use of watercolours to recreate the richness and depth of a dark night sky. VISIT WWW.PANTONE.COM OR WWW.COLORMARKETING.ORG FOR COLOUR INSPIRATION!
Let the professionals at KW&K design the kitchen you’ve always wanted
• Sequined elegance. This year, be bold and opt for a chic design using special paint that includes a sequined finishing gel. This ultra glamorous style can be achieved by combining any number of dark colours (midnight blue, burgundy, charcoal grey, etc.) with small, iridescent flakes. In the right light, the end result is simply stunning! Tour the specialty paint stores in your region to find unique products that will add personality to your home’s interior.

Three ways to
GIVE SILVER ITEMS BACK THEIR SPARKLE Have your precious silver items lost their lustrous shine? Here are three tips to get those teapots, utensils, candlesticks, serving trays, wine goblets, sugar bowls and butter dishes looking like new. 1. Rub the tarnished objects with a moist cloth and baking soda, then rinse. It’s as simple as that! 2. In a container lined with aluminum foil, mix 250 grams of baking soda with two litres of hot water. Leave your silver objects submerged in the solution for 30 minutes, then rinse. The aluminum absorbs impurities like magic! 3. Immerse heavily oxidized silver items in a hot vinegar bath for several minutes for goodas-new results.

Good-bye Granny flats: luxart Homes Unveils new Multi-Generational Product, announces final lot release by aMy HoGUe luxart Homes has pushed home customization to the limit with their newest product – multi-generational homes, a two-for-one home designed with multiple generations in mind. luxart Homes’ beckwith development, Maggie’s Place, is the perfect setting for their new multi-generational product, offering purchasers an idyllic rural paradise, only minutes from city amenities, and literally right next door to family and friends. Maggie’s Place is a development that provides something exceptional to prospective homeowners; architectural consistency, scenic winding roads, ample trees and lot styles you won’t find anywhere else. and with a starting price of $499,900, purchasers will be pleased by
the many standard features included in a luxart Home, including hardwood on the main floor, nine-foot ceilings, and oversized windows and doors. When it comes to customization of new homes, luxart Homes stands behind the belief that customizing doesn’t end at selecting styles for kitchen cupboard doors and flooring. luxart Homes’ purchasers are invited to explore customization options such as removing walls, adding extra bedrooms, and changing the interior design to create the perfect space for their family. “our purchasers aren’t choosing between only one or two options,� amanda Wagorn, co-founder and Ceo of luxart Homes explained, “When we work with a family, we truly

design something that will be the right match for their needs.� In fact, luxart’s new multi-generational home takes customization to the next level for customers, accommodating older adults and their families who may want to live near one another, but without losing valuable independence. representing the shift of an aging demographic of baby boomers, multi-generational housing can easily meet the needs of more than one generation. Going above and beyond in offering customization options to their clients, luxart Homes’ new product is specially designed to house two separate families, creating a space where the security and companionship of living near loved ones are both within easy reach. “It’s two totally separate residences under one roof,� Wagorn explained, “for people looking to travel, it can be the perfect solution to living in an apartment or senior’s residence. loved ones get to keep their home, and their space, while living in a close-knit community like Maggie’s Place.� Properties in Maggie’s Place are between 1.5 and 3 acres, with options for open or wooded lots, and a range of sun directionalities. all lots are serviced by full underground Hydro, bell Canada, bell fibe Internet, and rogers Cable, and the development is close to the amenities of Carleton Place, as well as the beckwith recreation complex, one of the largest in ontario. a luxart Home purchaser is getting far more than a well-designed and built home that meets their needs and budget, they’re investing in a home that brings with it a close-knit and active community. “the lots are large and serene enough to offer a feeling of private, estate living – but just outside the tree line there’s a neighbourhood feeling, a real sense of community,� Wagorn said. time is running out to purchase lots in luxart Homes’ coveted beckwith development, Maggie’s Place. With only 15 lots left in the current release and an additional 11 lots awaiting the final release, the dream of living in the rural paradise of Maggie’s Place may soon be coming to a close. Wagorn confirmed that construction has already begun on the most recent lot release from June 2016, and the final release is scheduled for late 2017. for those who missed the 2016 release, the key to securing a lot is to get there early – the line to reserve a lot for the 2016 release began at midnight with customers treated to coffee and doughnuts to help make the time fly. for more information about luxart Homes please visit the website at www.luxartHomes.com or contact the sales office at 613-253-7571. the model home is located at 107 William Hay drive, and is open saturdays and sundays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., or anytime by appointment.

Ten tips for a GREENER Horticulture enthusiasts, rejoice! It’s time to start planting the seeds of this summer’s garden. Tempted to start your own? Don’t worry: being a beginner doesn’t mean that you can’t do excellent work. Here are ten tips to help any gardening novice grow like a pro. 1. PLAN IT OUT. Before you get your hands dirty, try to envision your ideal garden as a whole. Sketch the layout of the space you have to work with and its surroundings. No matter how big or small your project may be, proper planning is the key to success. 2. ACQUIRE TOOLS. Digging, planting and maintaining your garden requires some basic equipment. A beginner’s toolbox should include a spade, a hoe, a rake, a trowel, a wheelbarrow, a watering can, some shears and a pair of gloves. Having the right tools makes gardening infinitely more enjoyable and helps prevent injuries. 3. MIND THE LIGHTING. Your garden or flowerbeds should ideally be located in a spot that receives lots of sunlight and little wind, but many species do well in shadier conditions. Before you settle on a variety to sow, consider its solar needs and whether or not you can fulfill them. 4. PREPARE THE SOIL. Provide your plants with the best possible soil conditions and watch them thrive! Removing rocks and pebbles, tilling the ground and adding some fertilizer goes a long way in creating a fertile space to grow.
THUMB
5. KEEP BLOOM CYCLES IN MIND. Enjoy the results of your hard work for as long as you can by including plants that flower at different times of the season in your garden. 6. MATCH COLOURS. Try to match your flowers to your home’s exterior for a stunning, cohesive effect. Don’t feature too many hues, however, to avoid a cluttered look. 7. PLANT IN GROUPS. Foster cross-pollination and improve your garden’s vitality by planting in bunches. Avoid isolating single specimens — your plants are social creatures too! 8. MIX IT UP. Create a balanced look by varying the height and shape of the plants in your garden. 9. GIVE IT SPACE. Your adorable sprouts and tiny seeds will eventually grow into full-fledged adult plants. Consider how large they’ll be once they reach maturity and plan accordingly. Always follow the recommended planting depth for each variety as well. 10. ASK FOR HELP. Need some assistance? Don’t hesitate to seek advice from the pros at your local gardening centre or nursery. Their valuable expertise could make a world of difference when it comes to achieving the landscaping of your dreams.

Do your teeth chatter when you get out of bed in the morning? Do you have to wear two pairs of socks and thick slippers so your feet don’t freeze on your icy floors? If your heating bills are increasingly expensive and you’re seriously considering a move down south to escape the winter, try to determine — and neutralize — the cause of your thermal discomfort before making a hasty decision. IS YOUR HOME AIRTIGHT? In the summer as well as in the winter, heat escapes your home from several places: • Your range hood and bathroom exhaust fan • Your dryer vent • Your front, side and patio doors • Your windows The solution? Seal all cracks with caulking, even the tiniest ones. You should also consider replacing your windows with more energy-efficient models. Simply call a win-

THRIFTY TIPS
to brighten up bland decor If you wish to breathe a spark of life into your home’s cold and impersonal interior without breaking the bank, here are three inexpensive ways to do so in no time! 1. PAINT Painting a vivid colour onto a single wall can transform a room in a heartbeat. Be daring and add a splash of bright orange, electric blue, lemon yellow, scarlet red or lime green to your lacklustre kitchen or living room. 2. FABRIC A dark bedspread inevitably stifles the atmosphere of a bedroom. Why not replace yours with one that’s flamboyantly coloured or cheerfully patterned? Likewise, dress up your drab couch with a colourful throw and some printed pillows. If your faded flooring is bringing you down, cover it with a vibrant rug.
3. ACCENTS Fun, calming or downright unusual, accent pieces add character to any interior. To give your dull space a welcoming feel without going broke, you can use: • Paintings, mirrors, posters or pictures • Natural or artificial flowers and potted plants • Lamps, candles or bold light fixtures • Hanging mobiles, dream catchers or beaded curtains • Elegant drapes, stained glass windows or colourful blinds • Sculptures, masks, feathers or figurines • Musical instruments, sports equipment or art supplies
An original painting, a flashy bedspread or some snazzy throw pillows — how will you brighten up your interior on a budget?

Five common CURTAIN MISTAKES to avoid The window treatment experts have spoken! Here are the five most common errors made by homeowners who choose to install their new curtains without seeking professional assistance.
1. Choosing poor quality fabrics that are prone to discolouration or have irregular stitching or mismatched patterns. 2. Cutting curtains too short. They should ideally graze the floor.
3. Buying a flimsy metal rod to support heavy curtains. 4. Neglecting to get rid of creases or wrinkles (quick, fire up the iron!). 5. Forgetting to cover the opposite
side with a lining fabric. Not only is this unattractive, but your curtains won’t effectively shield against light when needed. For best results, always consult a specialist!
