Municipality welcomes new director of finance Joe Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
North Grenville has brought a new director of finance/treasurer on to their team. With an expected operating budget of $19 million for 2016, having the financial seat around the municipal table filled was a priority for staff. At the April 11 council meeting, North Grenville CAO Brian Carré announced the hiring of Nicole Zywicki as the municipality’s new director of
finance and treasurer. She has more than 10 years experience in both the private and public sector. Zywicki moved to Kemptville in 2014 with her husband, Jon and two children, April and Kyle. The family quickly became part of the thriving North Grenville community with her children headed off to the Kemptville Public School and her husband volunteering as a firefighter for the North Grenville Fire Services.

Get in touch with your imaginative side during the Reserve outside of Pakenham. The event provides Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s annual Creativ- an opportunity to share in nature and gather inspiity Blitz Sunday, May 1 at High Lonesome Nature ration.
Land trust creativity blitz planned at High Lonesome Nature Reserve May 1 The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) invites you to its annual Creativity Blitz on Sunday, May 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Creativity Blitz is held at the 200-acre High Lonesome Nature Reserve outside Pakenham, a natural treasure conserved in perpetuity by the MMLT. Nature is endlessly creative. Let some rub off on you. Spending time in nature fuels creativity, and creativity is valuable in all walks of life. The Creativity Blitz provides a unique opportunity to share the beautiful woodlands, meadows, wetlands and critters of High Lonesome with others who find solace and inspiration from nature. To help fuel your imagination, we will have creative projects going on, such as a collaborative poem. And you can listen to the undercurrents of the spring wilderness through the MMLT’s soundscaping equipment. Mentors will be available to encourage you in whatever you choose to do. We’ve identified several “WOW”
spots as focal points, but you can find your own special spot anywhere along the eight kilometres of clearly-marked trails. The blitz offers everyone an opportunity to feed their creativity: • Come with a willingness to open your eyes, ears and senses and see where that takes you. • Bring the kids or grandkids for a day of hiking and playing outdoors. The kids can arrange natural materials into a creative piece. Or make pictures of something that catches their attention. • Celebrate your moment in nature using your own art supplies, musical instrument, or journal. • Feed your soul and encourage wellness by spending time in quiet contemplation: a peaceful mind is a creative mind. The Creativity Blitz takes place rain or shine, so dress appropriately for the weather and be sure to choose sturdy, comfortable footwear. Trail maps are provided so you can wander at leisure. Bring a lunch and enjoy it outdoors. A rustic outhouse is available near
the barn. Admission is by a donation of $10 for adults, children under 12 are free. We hope you’ll choose to share something about your day with us. Send us a picture of what you did or a note to say how your day went. You can see examples from past Creativity Blitzes on the MMLT website (under Events). For more information, go to mmlt.ca or email Jacquie.christiani@bell. net. Discover the wonders of High Lonesome — we
suspect you’ll want to come back often. Directions: • Take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village • Turn on Waba Road and continue west for 2.9 KM • Turn left on Barr Side Road • Travel for 1.6 KM • Take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 KM to 867 Carbine Road and you have arrived!

Scott Woods and band bring fantastic fiddling to region this May Michael Miller
At 15-years-old, Scott Woods was the figurehead of his family band. A nationally-recognized winner of the Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Championships, Woods’ three-consecutive Canadian Novelty Fiddle Championship titles have landed him the nickname, The Flippin’ Fiddler. The youngest of four children, Woods grew up watching his older brothers and sisters excel musically under the instruction of their father Merv, an accomplished fiddler and saxophonist. Picking up his first fiddle at age three, Woods soon began to associate the bowed instrument as an extension of himself. “By the time I came along I guess I was pretty much destined to play fiddle music. I remember I must have been three years old or something and saying, ‘I can play, I can play… give me a fiddle’,” said Woods. “My dad always said, ‘If you want to build a house, first you put the foundation in the ground. It doesn’t matter what you build on top—it’s the same cement in the ground. And that’s that technique that classical music gave me.” Woods’ claim-to-fame comes from his daring ‘trick fiddling’ routine at the Canadian Novelty Fiddle Championship where he dazzles the audience by fiddling all while somersaulting on stage or walking on a barrel, among other gimmicks. Keeping it in the family has always been an important aspect of the Woods family bands’ music man-
date. Fiddle playing in the family has now stretched six-generations. Countless family members have toured with the band, from brothers and sisters to nieces and nephews—in any capacity, there’s a spot on-stage for all Woods. Woods’ immediate family have essentially all played alongside the Scott Woods Band in recent years, notably his brother Bruce on drums and his sister Kendra dueling on the fiddle. Joining the current leg of the tour is the recently-retired Kendra who is a huge part of the band on and off the stage, said Scott. Starting in 2004, Woods and his mother Carolyn began to perform benefit shows in small communities around Ontario. With two-dozen shows throughout the year, proceeds are split 50/50 at the door with each venue. This year’s tour has been coined ‘Love That Fiddle.’ “We’ve always had some fundraising aspect to our performances but I guess where it really took off was after my father passed. My mom told me at the beginning of December 2003 that she always wanted to do some mission work so I said, ‘why don’t we do a show to help raise funds?’ And that’s where it all started.” The Scott Woods Band has raised close to $3 million for small community organizations, charities and churches in years since with their popularity growing vastly through word-ofmouth. “We actually had to cut back. We try to keep it under 100 performances a year just because it gets a little hectic playing almost every
night,” said Woods. Woods is set to release his 20th studio album, while sticking close to eastern Ontario and playing his traditional, grassroots sound to the delight of young and old music lovers, alike. The Scott Woods Band is returning to Carleton Place May
2 for a 7 p.m. concert at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. This tour stop will benefit the church and tickets are available at $25 for adults and $10 for children aged six to 12. Kids under the age of five get in free. Tickets can be purchased at Temptations and the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian
Church office in Carleton Place, Keepsakes in Almonte, Ashton General Store, Clayton General Store, Pakenham General Store, Tickets Please in Perth, Smith’s Shoes in Smiths Falls or by calling Vivian at 613-257-1575. They are also available by phone through Visa and Mastercard, by
calling the Scott Woods Band office at 1-855-726-8896. The day after, Woods and his band will be in Kemptville at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The show starts at 7 p.m. For more information about Scott Woods, visit www. scottwoods.ca.

Laps of Love ready to go the distance in fight against cancer at Relay For Life Erica Gough first became involved in the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Relay For Life (RFL) when she was in high school and volunteered in the Snack Shack in 2009. A year later when her mom Donna took over the co-ordination of the Snack Shack, Erica continued to help out there while also starting up a team comprised of family and friends. “I think what inspired me to get involved was my mom’s involvement,” she relates. “She relayed for my grandfather, so did the rest of us. Then my grandma went through treatment, and thankfully survived, so then we relayed for her too.” Likewise, the first year Erica registered a team in the RFL, the mother of one of her teammates was diagnosed with cancer. “If I remember correctly, she began her fight after we started our team but her diagnosis really made our team grow – it was huge that year,” she recalls. “I’m happy to say she is now a survivor.” While the team’s name has varied, in recent years, it has been known as Laps of Love in tribute to Lynsey, a 24-year-old friend of her sister Leslie who died in 2013. Now, as Erica says, they also relay for Lynsey, as well as for the future. Citing a comment Leslie once made, “I Relay so that my children will learn about cancer in history books.” Laps of Love is one of 10 teams (53 participants) registered to date for the 2016 RFL in
$50,000 with organizers hoping to match these numbers in 2016. With the theme for this year’s event being “Super Heroes,” Erica and her teammates have not yet decided what their costumes will be. This is not the first time however that they have donned hero capes for the RFL. “In 2009, we were ‘the future fighters’,” she shares. “We had everyone dress up with an eye mask and some capes but the idea was that we were everyday super heroes of cancer patients – doctors, nurses, cheerleaders, neighbours – anyone
who may be in the support system for someone going through treatment. That was our first year, we had a big team and really great costumes!” Although Erica acknowledges that it is more challenging to put together a team now that she and most of the other members no longer live in the Smiths Falls area, they make it a priority to come back each year for the RFL “because it is important to us.” “Our team has six people that have been a part of it every year, and we usually See RELAY page 5

have one or two more join us,” she states. Currently, Erica is in the midst of organizing a major fundraiser for the team. The Laps of Love RFL Spring Bazaar will take place on Sunday, May 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kinsmen Community Pavilion in Smiths Falls. “It is turning into quite the success,” she says, noting that 19 tables are already booked for the bazaar. The event will also feature a bottle drive, bake table and face painting. For Erica, any exhaustion she feels after the RFL is over is easily outweighed by the personal knowledge that her efforts will aid in the fight against cancer. “Finding a cure for cancer, funding as much research as possible, it’s so important,” she states. “And it is so rewarding to be a part of something like that.” Anita Carley, fundraising specialist for Leeds & Grenville and the Smiths Falls area with the FLA & The Waterways community office of the CCS, makes it clear that RFL is more than just a cancer walk.
“It’s a journey,” she states. “Money raised supports cancer research and support services for those who are living with cancer and their families. Reveal your super hero this June, challenge yourself to go the distance or gather your family, friends, co-workers and join us.” Erica encourages anyone who is considering registering a team for the June 4 event to just “do it.” “If you’re worried about not raising enough, not having enough time to organize, or not having a big enough team, don’t be,” she says. “Every dollar counts, collecting pledges from family and friends is so easy it doesn’t take much time or organization. And no team is too small. If you’re concerned about team size, there are lots of teams that would be happy to have new members join them, including mine.” For further information on the RFL in Smiths Falls or for help in getting registered, contact Carley at 1-866-877-0309, ext. 3653 or email her at acarley@ontario.cancer. ca.

CDSBEO learns more about Eastern Ontario Skills competition at recent meeting The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular board meeting held April 5 at the board office in Kemptville. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), has played a key role in the planning and delivery of annual skills competitions for students in our Board. Over the last nine years, the board, in partnership with other school boards, has organized and planned the annual Eastern Ontario Skills competition at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall. Dan Lortie, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program co-ordinator, presented an overview of the program and the competition to the board. This year’s event, which was held on March 1, featured 16 competitions at five locations in Cornwall. “Skills competitions first began in 2001 with the board’s participation in the Kemptville College Shed Building Competition,” explained Lortie. “The Eastern Ontario Skills Competition began in 2006, and is now in its tenth year.” The goal of the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program has been to promote skilled trades as a viable and attractive alternative to traditional post-secondary programs. Each year, more and more students are choosing this pathway to receive the benefits associated with early registration as apprentices. One of the great elements of the program is the opportunity to participate in events, such as skills competitions, which help to develop skills, develop student interest, and showcase student talent. Annually, between 65 and 125 CDSBEO students compete in a wide range of events. The hub of the competition activity took place at St. Lawrence College.
This included competitions for: auto service tech, team carpentry, house building, cabinet making, welding, TV video production, small engines, photography, and drama. The hairstyling and esthetics competitions were held at Elegance College in Cornwall. Various culinary events including the fourth annual CDSBEO Culinary Arts Skills Competition, which includes events in team culinary, baking, and cake decorating, as well as a Master Chef Competition, took place at St. Matthew Catholic Secondary School and St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School. The aviation competition was held at Summerstown Regional Airport. CDSBEO students showcased their talents and placed in many divisions including gold medals in cabinet making, house building, and team carpentry. STEO annual report Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), is the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and the Upper Canada District School Board. STEO’s goal is to provide effective and efficient transportation to approximately 32,000 students daily. Superintendent of business, Bonnie Norton, presented an overview of the 2014-15 STEO annual report to the board of trustees. “The STEO governance structure consists of two trustees from both the CDSBEO, and our coterminous board, the Upper Canada District School Board, along with STEO general manager Ron Cotnam,” explained Norton. For the 2014-15 school year, key accomplishments of the consortium included: global and regional transportation reviews to ensure best practices; refinement of policies and procedures; a focus on staff training and develop-

ment; website development; completion of staff performance appraisals; and routing efficiencies that resulted in a significant reduction in daily travel distances. “With an annual budget of $37.1 million, of which $13.1 million is allocated to CDSBEO students, STEO oversees the operation of 732 vehicles daily,” noted Norton. “Currently, 18
per cent of the buses have double runs, and the average ride time for all students was 24.8 minutes.” Fuel represents about 18 per cent of STEO’s budget, of which only 12 per cent is funded. Statistics for ride times demonstrate that 2.2 per cent of CDSBEO students are riding the bus for longer than 60 minutes each way. With more signifi-
cant routing efficiencies, the number of kilometres travelled per day has decreased from 122,488 in 2011-12, to 111,588 in 2014-15. STEO is currently working on initiatives to upgrade routing software, further reduction of ride times, development of a driver handbook and more focus on driver training, student training, and staff training.

Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County members work on a creation. These cheerful colours bring comfort, warmth and thoughts of spring. The volunteer organization’s mission is to create and gift handmade quilts to men, women and children of the county with debilitating diseases or conditions.
Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County give the gift of comfort Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County is a registered charity and volunteer organization whose mission is to create and gift handmade quilts to men, women and children of the community living with debilitating diseases or conditions. The first and third Thursday of each month, from September to June inclusive, you will find this group of dedicated volunteers gathered together at St.Paul’s United Church in Perth. Since their beginning in 2013, more than 165 quilts have been gifted to people in our area who are facing serious health challenges. Recipients and their families have expressed profound gratitude for the comfort and warmth that these quilts have provided in a time of need. Quilts are provided at no cost to those who either request or receive a quilt. Members of our local community, both individuals and groups, have been very generous to our charity in many ways. As well, we are grateful to our long-standing and major financial
supporter, T.D. Securities Underwriting Hope Fund. Its recent contribution of $5,000 in 2015 will help us cover the increasing costs of materials and equipment needed to produce exceptionally warm and comfortable quilts. Another important source of revenue comes through an arrangement with the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Auxiliary. Perhaps you have had the opportunity to see a newborn wrapped in one of the special baby quilts made by our quilters for the auxiliary to give each infant born at the Smiths Falls site. Our charity receives a donation from the auxiliary to cover some expenses for this special project. We appreciate each and every dollar received and thank all of you for your support. Donations of any amount are gratefully accepted at our mailing address: Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County, 12 Glenview Crescent, Perth, ON K7H 2L2. Official tax receipts are available on request.
The most important part of our work remains the gifting of our special quilts to those living with a debilitating disease or condition. Please spread the word so that we may reach everyone who might benefit. To request a quilt for a friend, neighbour, or family member, please contact Lynn at 613-273-9755, or Paula at 613-284-0815. You may also email us at hhquilts13@gmail.com.

uring a Lanark County council committee meeting last week, Montague Reeve Bill Dobson heralded the good work being done by foodcoreLGL (Leeds, Grenville, Lanark), particularly the compilation of their new Food Inventory. He urged fellow county councillors to check out the online database, available at foodcorelgl.ca, which connects residents, businesses and producers to all the local food systems within Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. It isn’t just about accessing restaurants who use local produce and meats, but there’s so much more. There are sections involving useful tips to access community gardens or seed exchange programs, as well as ways to build your own food nutrition knowledge and skills through a variety of different classes. Looking to buy as local as you can? Farmers’ markets and farmgate sales are also listed so you can make the most of your Saturday
morning grocery run. foodcoreLGL is made up of several partners and different organizations from the food and farming sectors and across the tri-county communities. Their goal is to provide access to safe and healthy food, but also ensure there is agriculture for the future, the environment is protected, as well as, of course, celebrating food and culture. In this day and age, sourcing food close to home has become of utmost importance to many local residents. For those not knowing where to turn, the Food Inventory can be a valuable resource. It not only helps support the local food producers, but also opens us up to a world of new, fresh flavours. Knowing that something was grown in your own backyard (or close to it) and not shipped around the globe is a big deal. Not only will you notice the difference in taste, but helping sustain your neighbours is an extra bonus.
Mary’s chores on the farm left a lasting impression Why I was singled out to churn the cream into butter every Saturday was beyond me! It was like all the other chores Mother thought suited someone of my young age. Bringing in the wood to fill the wood box, making sure the basin under the icebox didn’t run over, and emptying the Gerry pots when needed, Mother deemed were all jobs I could handle. But it was churning every Saturday that irked me the most. That was because it took most of the morning, when I could be doing other things I enjoyed more, like playing with my dolls, visiting with my friend Velma, or reading the one book I was allowed to take out of the Renfrew library. As soon as my other chores were done, without saying a word, Mother handed me the

big white pinny, which went from under my chin right down to dragging on the floor. The little wood barrel would already be in front of a kitchen chair, with the wood plunger floating around on the cream inside. There was a round wood disc fitted on the top of the barrel, and the hole in the centre was larger in size than the plunger, which also caused me concern. Because once I started working the plunger up and down, blobs of cream would escape, and it wasn’t unusual
to have my apron, and even my face splattered. I learned early at the job that sitting on a cushion helped keep my bottom from falling asleep from the constant movement on the kitchen chair, but nothing could save the ache I felt in my arms within minutes of churning. My arms were thin...in fact, my hateful brother Emerson once said they looked like sticks from the old gnarled tree in our back yard. And by the time only a few minutes had passed at the churning, I ached something fierce from shoulders right down to my fingertips. The cream turned faster, I thought, if it had been well chilled before being put in the churn. And so in the winter, or early spring, the job didn’t take as long. But as the days

MPP expresses support for Bill 100 DEAR EDITOR:
I read with interest the various but convoluted positions the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) have taken regarding Bill 100, Supporting Ontario Trails Act. In this circular dance, the OLA fails to disclose pertinent facts or has chosen to promote misinformation, while also throwing suspicion over mutually beneficial and voluntary agreements between property owners and trail associations. I do not mind stating the benefits that the

OLA has either forgotten or ignored while espousing this circular conspiracy. The facts for private property owners: Presently, property owners are limited to suing for no more than $1,000 in damages if their property is damaged by trespassers, this unfair limitation is removed with Bill 100. Definitely a positive benefit and adds to the protection of property rights. Presently, the fines for trespassers are a

Conference for Canadian educators addresses mental health in schools The Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) hosted the second annual Canadian Educators Conference on Mental Health, April 7-8 in Ottawa at the Westin Ottawa Hotel. Attended by more than 225 educators and school board leaders from across Canada, the event brought together top researchers and advocates of mental health, to draw attention to the importance of supporting young learners with mental disorders, as well as the importance of reducing stigma for those struggling with mental illness, so that they feel accepted. The agenda included opening remarks from Her Excellency Sharon Johnston, wife of Governor

rest of my life! And she patted me on the head, smiling, as if that would compensate. And I pictured in my mind being the only one left on the farm with my three brothers and sister all off to exciting jobs in far away places, and me left with the churning every Saturday. I tried not to look at the ticking clock on the kitchen wall. Which, to me, moved at a snail’s pace. And then, I would hear the sound of the plunger changing. No longer did the cream slosh against the sides of the churn.

maximum $2,000; this is raised to $10,000; another benefit and protection for property owners and property rights. Presently, covenants on trail agreements are not legally enforceable; Bill 100 permits covenants (time of use, who can access, types of vehicles etc.) to be enforced by the property owner; another benefit and protection of property rights. And of course the scariest fact of all- voluntary easements and covenants can only be created or implemented by the property owners. No imposition, nothing arbitrary, no coercion or liability in Bill 100, however it does allow choice-indeed scary stuff. The case for rural Ontario: Trail associations and the businesses that benefit from trail use are extensive. Ex-
General David Johnston and a long-time advocate for mental health. Johnston spoke of the importance of addressing mental health issues in students, and the significant role of teachers in supporting student mental health. “Seventy per cent of mental health problems have their onset before the age of 18, while youth are still in school,” noted Johnston. “Mental illness can be a barrier to school achievement, and our children are in the care of teachers for all of their growing years.” Words of welcome were also delivered by Phil Upshall, national executive director of the Mood Disorders Society of Canada, Bill Gartland, director of
education for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, and Daniel McCarthy, senior director, Public Affairs and Market Access at Lundbeck Canada. Dr. Ian Manion, clinical professor and executive director for the Ontario Centre of Excellence in Child and Youth Mental Health, delivered the first address on anxiety in children and youth, and the importance of equipping students with the tools required to help them successfully cope with their illness. “Why do we need to talk about mental health in schools? For a lot of reasons…That’s where we can teach youth about what it’s like to be mentally well.
It got harder and harder to pound down the cream and I would know the time had come to lift the wood disc and peer inside. And there it would be, butter! Mother would come and look inside and agree, the chore was over! She ladled it out into a big granite bowl and put drops of yellow food colouring into it, stirring it well. The next job would be piling it into the wood mold to come up with pounds just like you could buy in Renfrew. Each pound was then wrapped in wax paper, ready to sell door to door in town. I was so stiff when I finished, I could
hardly get off the chair, and my arms would ache well into the day. And I would go over to the creton couch by the cook stove and lay down and close my eyes, still wearing the big pinny and yet to wash my arms and face of the cream splatters. And for the longest time after I would hear in my head the steady plop of the plunger. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

panding the use of trails helps our small town and rural restaurants, motor sport dealers, motels and B&Bs along with our general stores, to name a few, as snowmobilers, hikers, ATV riders and others come to rural Ontario for recreation and tourism. The corollary is also clear, reducing access to trails will also reduce business, revenues and prosperity for rural Ontario. Certainty and security of tenure and use for both the property owners and the trails association is needed to permit and encourage greater investments and expansion in trail infrastructure such as highway and river overpasses and bridges. Rural Ontario would be largely empty and unpopulated without transferable easements registered upon title. Just as deeded access, rights of way, or utility easements are
registered on title and transferable, without easements we would all be living without electricity, phones and have no access to our cottages. I would suggest that there are very few people reading this who don’t already have some form of easement on their property. It is only in the dystopian and conspiratorial world of the current OLA and their co-conspirators that mutually agreeable and voluntary agreements have now become suspicious, harmful and dangerous towards property owners and where improved rural business opportunities are a covert government grab for our lands. Good grief! I support Bill 100 in its present form and when asked to stand, I will say yea, not nay. Randy Hillier MPP, Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington
That’s where we can fill their toolboxes,” he said. “That’s where we can talk about stigma – so that it’s not a bad word. We can promote wellness from the very beginning.” In addition to very useful factual information and topics for educators, thought-provoking and profound personal testimonials gave perspective to the conference topics. A grade 11 student from Kingston, Ontario, and an Ottawa area teacher and parent of a child with anxiety disorder, both delivered candid stories of their own personal experiences. “The thing about my depression is that, it came out of nowhere,” began the student. “A year ago, I would have never imagined being here today. My depression snuck up on me and took over my entire life. It made me realize that this really can happen to anyone.” On her own daughter’s lifelong struggle with anxiety, an Ottawa area teacher reflected, “I think as educators, the awareness that
our kids do not have access to therapy is so critical. So how can schools and teachers help? Students like my daughter need awareness, acceptance and accommodation…a teacher can simply be aware of her needs, so she feels more comfortable about learning and what is expected of her.” Day two of presentations included perspectives from two research leaders. Dr. Kwame McKenzie, CEO of the Wellesley Institute, who discussed the changing demographics of Canada and how negative social determinants such as poverty and discrimination, affect rates of mental health problems in immigrant, refugee, and ethnic populations. Dr. Charles Tator, a professor of neurosurgery at the Toronto Western Hospital and University of Toronto, presented information on the link between concussions and mental health problems, and the role of educators in the prevention, recognition and management of concussions. A myriad of other di-
verse mental health topics were addressed throughout the duration of the conference including: depression, student resiliency, socialemotional learning, suicide, substance abuse and addiction, eating disorders, and educator mental health. The theme of stigma was also prevalent as an important subtopic in many presentations. The Mood Disorders Society of Canada is a national, not for profit health charity committed to ensuring that the voices of communities, family members, and caregivers are heard on issues relating to mental health and mental illness. Formally launched and incorporated in 2001, the organization has evolved to become one of Canada’s best-connected mental health NGOs, with a demonstrated track record for forging and maintaining meaningful and sustained partnerships with the public, private and non-profit sectors throughout Canada.

Raising the profile of our war heroes ongoing battle Two weeks ago I was a volunteer in the local museum’s booth at the annual spring Home Show in Carleton Place. I was there in my capacity as a director of the Roy Brown Society, the organization formed in 2009 to create a museum and raise the profile of Captain Brown, the First World War pilot from Carleton Place credited with shooting down German ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen in 1918. Richthofen was the highest scoring combat pilot of the Great War with 80 “kills” to his credit. Today, April 21, marks the 98th anniversary of the famous aerial duel between Brown and Richthofen. It’s an incident that has been debated for nearly a century. The 100th anniversary is just two years from today and the Roy Brown Society, among others, will be holding special events to mark that occasion. Our committee has already been successful in raising the profile of a wartime event that, for nearly 100

years received scant attention in Brown’s own hometown, let alone the rest of Canada. Last June I was fortunate enough to attend a ceremony in Toronto during which Brown was formally inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame. More than 20 relatives of the late WW I ace were in attendance. Brown died in 1944 at the tender age of 50, partly due to injuries received in a crash in England during a training flight in July 1918. I’m pleased to say our committee, chaired by former Carleton Place councillor Rob Probert, has made great strides toward properly commemorating a local hero whose exploits had gone unheralded for far too long. There is now a display recognizing the pilot in the headquarters of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce in historic Moore House. Our society has been successful in securing many artifacts related to Brown. Plans call for some of those to be displayed in the Car-

Much interest While volunteering at the home show I was impressed by the number of people who stopped at our booth to view the displays, ask questions or offer comments about Brown and his story. Admittedly some were unaware of the pilot and his local background. Others added more threads to the story, recounting their own experiences related to this very interesting local history. One couple, who showed great interest in the Brown display, told me about an experience they had in Europe. He’s an engineer in the Canadian Army. While touring one of the many First World War cemeteries in Belgium the guide told them that a member of Richthofen’s squadron, Spring Fling Dance, Saturday, April 23, 8 p.m.-midnight, The Gallipeau Centre Ballroom.

who was also killed in action, is buried there. During his explanation the guide noted that Richthofen was shot down by “a Canadian pilot, Captain A. Roy Brown.” A year ago the same couple purchased a home in Carleton Place which, with the four-lane Highway 7, is a relatively short commute from his new posting in Ottawa’s west end. While touring the town they were surprised to find the large mural of the Brown-Richthofen aerial combat which adorns a wall in downtown Carleton Place. The mural – it’s a fantastic piece of work – was championed by current Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn who, like me, is a founding director of the Roy Brown Society. It was unveiled during a ceremony in November 2012. It’s well worth a look if you visit Carleton Place. “We were so amazed to discover that Roy Brown was from Carleton Place,” the soldier explained.

From page 12
They weren’t the only people to visit our booth who, previously, were unaware of the Brown story which, arguably, is one of the most amazing incidents to occur involving a Canadian during the First World War. To me that underlines the purpose of an organization like the Roy Brown Society. One of our primary goals is education. Because the reality is that this kind of history is not being taught in our schools. At least it isn’t part of any curriculum that I’m aware of. Perhaps some history teachers are highlighting historic stories such as this one to classes in their own communities? I certainly hope so. It was Canadians general lack of knowledge about our war history that was the main topic of conversation during the time I spent at the historical society booth. Many people expressed the opinion that we have to do better in this country in this regard and I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, as I noted in another recent column, revisionist history is alive and well in many countries including our own. Some Canadians would rather see our war history swept under the carpet. They feel talking about the world wars and teaching this part of Canadian history to our young people is “glorifying war.” I think that is utter nonsense! First of all, you can’t change history. But you can certainly learn from
it. Most important of all the sacrifices of Canada’s soldiers throughout the nearly 150-year history of this nation should never be forgotten. The vast majority were volunteers, citizens who stepped forward and put their lives on the line to serve their country in time of crisis. Tens of thousands made the supreme sacrifice. Young men and women who never had the opportunity to live the lives they had planned. Interesting survey I was heartened last week to read the results of a survey related to Canada’s impressive victory at Vimy Ridge in northern France during the Great War. Interestingly that battle, which claimed the lives of 3,598 Canadian soldiers (nearly 7,000 were wounded), was fought 99 years ago this month (April 9). Next year will mark the centenary of Vimy. The landmark anniversary happens to coincide with the 150th birthday of our country. A perfect opportunity to recognize a war-time event which many historians say marked, “Canada’s emergence as a strong, independent country.” The Vimy Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to promoting the legacy of this important battle, commissioned the recent Ipsos survey. The poll found that more than 80 per cent of those questioned want the centenary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge to be a central part of Canada’s 150th
birthday in 2017. The survey revealed that 32 per cent of respondents “strongly agreed” and a further 51 per cent “somewhat agreed” the battle’s 100th anniversary “should be one of the most important celebrations of the year.” I’m not sure “celebration” is the right word? But certainly this key chapter from Canada’s storied past should be tied to the 150th anniversary of Confederation. I have written extensively about Vimy in the past. My own visit to the site in the spring of 1995 made a huge impression on me. The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is one of the largest and most impressive war monuments in the world. In the lead-up to the 90th anniversary of the battle in 2007 the Vimy memorial was totally refurbished. I know the architect who headed the project personally which gave me a big advantage in terms of writing news stories and columns about that very worthwhile endeavor. At the base of the huge structure the names of 11,285 Canadians who died in the First World War, but have no known resting place, are engraved. I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to visit Vimy Ridge to do so. The impact on those who make such an excursion is profound. Standing there, gazing at the towering memorial, made me even more proud to be a Canadian! The most disappointing part of the
recent Ipsos poll is that just one in 10 respondents recognized the Vimy memorial, despite the fact it is printed on the back of $20 Canadian banknotes. Yes, we have a lot of education to do on this subject! As for the Roy Brown Society our small organization promotes the legacy of another important First World War occurrence which, while less important in the context of Canada’s overall role in the war, is still extremely meaningful. Richthofen was a German national
hero and his death had a huge psychological impact on Germans in general. In November of the same year Germany surrendered to the Allies. Ensuring that Canada’s important military history, including the deadly conflicts of the 20th Century, is not forgotten is extremely important. The 150th birthday of Canada next year offers a golden opportunity to further that cause. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

OPP: Bring the gear not the beer on area waterways this spring The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), East Region are reminding boaters that are getting ready to hit the waves on rivers and lakes in eastern Ontario that there is much to do before you head out. “Whether you are at the cottage, cruising, fishing, or paddling, we all have a role to play to ensure our time on the water is safe and enjoyable for everyone,” said Inspector Paul Bedard, Manager, East Region Traffic and Marine. “Take the booze out of boating to travel safely and enjoy this boating season.” Number one: Check your vessel and equipment • Inspect your pleasure craft. • Inspect your pleasure craft’s hull and check for cracks or other damage.
• If you are operating a power-driven pleasure craft check its electrical, fuel, propulsion and cooling systems and make sure the throttle is operating smoothly and is not sticking or binding. • Make sure the steering is working properly. • Check the oil and fuel levels. A good rule of thumb for fuel is: onethird for the trip out, one-third for the return and one-third as reserve. • Check all hoses and lines for leaks or cracks and replace if necessary. Make sure all clamps and belts are secure and in good shape. • Inspect, clean and replace spark plugs if necessary. • Check and change oil and water filters if necessary.
• Check the battery’s charge and its fluid levels. • Be certain the drainage plug is in place. • Verify the load on your boat is well distributed. Questions to ask yourself: • Are there enough suitable personal flotation devices of appropriate size for everyone on board? • Is all of the required equipment in good working order? • Do you have ample reserves of fuel for the trip or will you need to refuel? • Do you have maps and charts? • Is your VHF radio working properly? • Do you have a first aid kit, basic tools and spare parts?
Number 2: Review regulations • There is a full list of Marine Transportation Acts. Here’s the link: https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/acts-regulations/acts-marine.htm. • All boats are required to carry safety equipment. What exactly must be carried depends on the type and size of boat (usually expressed in length from bow to stern.) All equipment should be checked regularly, be well maintained, and replaced if necessary. See this link for a free pre-trip checklist: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/tp-menu-515-4372.html. • The most important safety practice is the wearing of a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD)…at all times. It’s too late once you’re in the water.
• Did you know that operating a boat while impaired by alcohol or drugs comes with the same consequence as driving a vehicle while impaired. Although police and other groups advise boaters of the consequences of mixing alcohol with boating, many still do just that. • All motorized watercraft of any size, requires a Pleasure Craft License to operate them and they must be carried with you. For complete information about boating, please go to: http://www. tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obsmenu-1362.htm. Boat safe, boat smart, enjoy the ride! Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police

Lanark County agency seeking volunteers for birth companion program Connections Birth Companion Program is a unique and valued program in Lanark County. Its purpose is to support young women, or young women and their partners through their pregnancy, labour and delivery. Volunteers are needed right across Lanark County, especially in the Smiths Falls and Perth area. Potential volunteers will be asked to fill out an application form, providing three solid references. A police vulnerability/criminal records check is done and an interview will take place. An extensive training process will take place in June 2016 so no experience is necessary. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: confidentiality, teen pregnancy, boundaries/effective communication, stages of labour, labour comfort techniques, infectious disease control and breast feeding. An explanation of what Connections does and its philosophy is reviewed, and current community resources will be shared. Volunteers are then matched with the young women in their community. Participants have been matched as early as four weeks pregnant and as late as just prior to labour. Birth companions and Participants spend time throughout the pregnancy doing a variety of things together. Accompaniment to a doctor or ultrasound appointment, or prenatal classes is common. Participants always appreciate

Connections of Lanark County is currently looking for volunteers for its birth companion program, which provides support to women during all stages of their pregnancy. it when the birth companion helps get the nursery ready or finds second hand baby items. Matches often go for a walk or share a coffee at Tim Hortons. Mostly it’s an ear to listen and knowing there is someone in the community they can count on. Birth companions are encouraged to do a birth plan (provided) with their match, reviewing what the women/partner want and hope for during
delivery and after. The Connections volunteer facilitator checks in on a biweekly schedule with each volunteer, offering support and guidance. She is available by phone throughout the match at any time. The facilitator also checks in with the participant, making sure her needs are always being met. Our volunteers are excited when they can attend a birth. Some of our
volunteers have attended more than 30 deliveries. At times, participants have requested the same match for all of their children. Deliveries are always different, natural births, assisted births, caesarean sections, home births and even a birth in an ambulance! Statistics show when a woman has good support during labour and delivery, birth outcomes improve, resulting in fewer interventions and labours resulting in caesarean sections. Our volunteers have had incredible experiences attending a family’s birth. The birth companions’ feedback has been very positive: “It was beautiful”, “I cried with the mom,” “she did an amazing job,” and “dad did a great job supporting his partner.” Participants comments received: “She was so supportive,” “She helped so much with my appointments,” “Amazing,” “She was there for me when my partner wasn’t,” “She had me for dinner with my son and baby,” “She gave me hope for my future,” “I was so scared, she made me feel safe,” and “She stuck up for me.” One father told us “She helped me help my partner get through the labour and delivery.” Birth companions can become a lifeline for these women and for the families. Although matches technically end at six weeks, often they continue indefinitely. We have stories of birth companions becoming godparents and/or becoming part

Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a cooperative effort involving the family, agency services and the community. We offer not only a variety of support but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops or they can use more than one program at a time. All participation is voluntary, free and is parent directed. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds/Grenville. Our slogan at Connections is Real Help...Right Here...Right Now. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children, please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help. Please call for more information.

Smiths Falls has endured the ebbs and flows of economic crisis It was simply another town in another time yet the memories and legacy of it all lives on. And live on it will. Such is the case with the Town of Smiths Falls and all of the dramatic changes which have occurred there over the years. With each era that passed another generation did likewise causing that ageless term “the good ol’ days” to mean different things to different people. Right from the start the impact and imprint that this town made on the Upper Canadian landscape was significant. The center of activity during the construction of the Rideau Canal where business and enterprise became rooted and folks of all types were drawn like a magnet. A “rough and rowdy” place it was too and became well known for its “whiskey and wickedness.” Labourers, traders, speculators, immigrants and travelers of all sorts made their way to and through the town. Goods of all types were shipped in and out of Smiths Falls via the Rideau Canal which meant that everyone from miles around had cause to, at some point, come to town. The hotels and taverns thrived so much that the streets were often not a very safe place to be. Thieves, tricksters and con men/women of every sort were on the hustings. One truly had to be aware at all times and it was said that you took your life in your own hands when walking the streets. Then came the railway. During the mid-1800s the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) purchased the financially unstable Brockville and Ottawa Railroad Company and established a division point and work yard at Smiths Falls. By 1880, the rail yard employed more than 1,600 people and became the town’s biggest employers. The Canadian Northern Railroad (CNRlater renamed Canadian National Railroad) came through town later and established a station that currently is the site of the Railroad Museum of Eastern Ontario. Shortly thereafter the farm equipment manufacturer Frost and Wood built a plant in Smiths Falls and soon was providing hundreds with employment.
But the good times didn’t last and the community suffered its first “big hit” around the turn of the century when the CPR laid off 1,100 workers due to “advancement in technology.” Frost and Wood shut down its local plant not long after that and thus the town began to suffer its first major economic crisis. It would occur again within another couple of generations. The 1950s saw some large corporations come to town and establish factories that would employ many people. RCA Victor opened a record pressing plant which employed hundreds (mainly women) followed shortly thereafter by the Hershey Chocolate Company that employed hundreds more. Around the same time the Rideau Regional Centre was constructed and went into operation employing more than 1,000 people. Good economic times had indeed come to Smiths Falls. A very interesting observation that has been made concerning this community is how Smiths Falls appeared more like an American town as opposed to its surrounding neighbouring towns. Considering the colourful strip of car dealers, the Dairy Queen, burger and fries stops, wide downtown streets, radio station and a distinctive American industrial town feel, Smiths Falls compared easily to places such as Watertown, Ogdensburg, Massena, etc. on the New York State side. Scenes from the classic American Graffiti motion picture could have been shot along Beckwith Street in the late fifties. In hindsight, the beginnings of the second major economic crisis began in 1979 when the RCA plant shut its doors. Things dwindled away slowly at first but the whole thing came to a head shortly after the turn of the century when Hershey’s, the Rideau Regional Centre and Stanley Tools all shut their doors for good. The scene that was projected as hundreds of Hershey plant workers, members of their families and local politicians gathered on a cold wintery day to protest the plants impending closing said it all. Reality had set in and hard times
Tales from the Troubadour LyLe diLLabough
were at hand. But Smiths Falls had experienced these ebbs and flows before. Cycles came and went as they did in the rest of the country. Tomorrow continued to come. These days the town of Smiths Falls continues to hang on and
no doubt will thrive once again in the future. It has too many good things going for it and assets that will make this possible. One of these “good things” is simply its location. Another is its history. Smiths Falls was founded, grew and has been able to remain
due to the spirit and determination of those who have made the place their home. Whether it was “whiskey and wickedness,” manufacturing, tourism, or innovation, something always came along. And in the days to come something else will surely come along as well.

Ticks and Lyme disease: Important tips you need to know Remember to be tick smart! As daytime temperatures rise above 4°C, ticks become active. If bitten by a tick, you may be at risk of getting Lyme disease. Taking the following precautions will help to reduce your risk: • Dressing in light coloured clothing makes adult ticks and nymphs (small stage of the tick), easier to see when they are on you as they are
darker in colour. • Always remember to do a tick check when you return inside. • Thoroughly check your body for ticks and nymphs and promptly remove and dispose of them. • Have someone check you from behind if possible or you can take a quick shower to help remove any unattached ticks. • Putting your clothes in a hot dry-
er for several minutes has been found to kill ticks. It is important to know that not all ticks carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease transmission depends on the length of time the infected tick is attached. Ticks that are removed quickly and have been attached for less than 24 hours are not likely to transfer the bacteria. However if the tick has
been attached for longer than 24 hours you maybe at an increased risk and it is recommended that you consult your health care provider. Tick specimens are not used for diagnosis of disease so they are no longer accepted at the health unit. Lyme disease symptoms can range from a bullseye rash around the bite area, to headache, fever and muscle/ joint pain. Consult your doctor if
you experience any of these symptoms. For more information about ticks and Lyme disease, visit http://www. healthunit.org/hazards/documents/ lyme.htm, call the health unit’s Health ACTION Line at 1-800-6605853, email us at contact@heathunit. org, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (@LGLHealthunit) for important public health updates.

A sincere thank you goes out to Katie from PAWS Oasis in Perth who, with great patience and fun, clipped a lot of nails during the event. A huge thank you to the Perth and Almonte Pet Valu stores and their supportive staff for making the stores look nice and for always being available for LAWS to hold promotional events.

clean and likes to talk. Come and meet this lovable guy, he’s ready to go home. Chip Hi there, Chip here! I am still a little exhausted after being on my feet all day Sunday to meet so many of you. I would like you to know that I just loved all the attention. I loved playing with little kids as at the end they got me a treat which I accepted with my very soft
mouth. I enjoyed meeting some other dogs too and really wanted to play with them. I loved all the ‘ahhh’ and ‘ohh’s’ I heard. You seem to think I am so cute and so friendly. You probably have noticed that I am really good with all people. I hardly barked and I did not growl. I felt very comfortable all day and was bouncing on my feet. One of the important things I know I need to learn is pay attention to commands. I don’t get it yet as I was never taught to listen but I am still a pup of about eight to tenmonths and I’d love the chance to be trained. My brother Dale already found a home and I hope that somebody comes forward soon to take me home too. I loved the car ride to and from the event, loved the store full of good smelling dog food, loved my dog walker Dan who kept me going all day. I had a good snooze in the car on the
way back and now I am back at LAWS looking forward to meet you. Should you wish to give me a chance, please make an appointment to meet me again at 613-283-9308. Thanks for all the nice things you said about me, looking forward to a new life in a loving home and I’ll give it all back.
time. Still surprisingly timid and shy, she may not be comfortable with children or other animals for the near term. Serious adopters might have to visit Cassie several times before she feels safe and comfortable. Bright and intelligent, she’s highly observant and displays
amazing leash skills. She just needs the right person in her life who can work with her to help build the confidence and social skills she was withheld during the early part of her life. If you like to give this amazing dog a chance please make an appointment to meet
her at LAWS. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook. com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308.

Classic Theatre Festival now seeking indigenous performers for summer As the Classic Theatre Festival gears up for its expanded seventh summer season in Perth, the festival is seeking applications from Indigenous performers interested in taking part in the festival’s youth theatre training program. This is a paid summer position, and participants must be between 14 and 25 years of age. No prior theatre experience is required as this is a training program. As part of its many tourism offerings, the festival has engaged thousands of people since 2014 with its street-level theatre under the Perth through the Ages banner, bringing to life both famous and lesserknown characters and stories from Perth’s fabled heritage history. Last year’s story, The Maid and the Merchant, featured a Nancy Drew-inspired protagonist exploring the less than savoury history of her family’s past, while the Lonely Ghosts Walk took on the story of Daniel Daverne, who many feel was wrongly impugned for malfeasance. This summer, as Perth celebrates its 200th anniversary, the Perth through the Ages tour (which runs Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. from June 22 to Aug. 28), will focus on the interaction of newly arrived European settlers with the Algonquin people, who had been living on the land for a good 8,000 years and who offered their expertise and leadership in helping colonists to get established. “There is a widespread misperception that the European settlers who started the military settlement here found nothing but an empty, forbidding wilderness. That erases the history, culture, language and spiritual practices of a people who have lived here harmoniously for millennia,” explains artistic producer Laurel Smith. “A key part of righting some of the many wrongs that were subsequently committed against Indigenous peoples is recovering and celebrating their history, their resilience, and their contemporary and historic contributions.” Smith points out that the purpose of the 2016 summer theatrical historic walking tour is not to disparage those of European heritage, but rather to contribute to a balancing view that tries to address the whole of the area’s history. It’s an approach definitely in keeping with recent trends that seek to acknowledge the traditional

The Classic Theatre Festival’s Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour (seen last year in a production of The Maid and the Merchant) returns in 2016 with a story about the early interactions between European settlers and the Algonquin people, whose 8,000 years of living in the area provided the knowledge and expertise that helped colonists survive. territories of Indigenous people on which most of us now live. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has called on all Canadian communities to endorse and implement the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), whose landmark hearings and 2015 report documented the abusive Residential School system. Among its 98 recommendations was a call “in collaboration with Survivors, Aboriginal organizations, and the arts community, to develop a reconciliation framework for Canadian heritage and commemoration” that would “integrate Indigenous history, heritage values, and memory practices into Canada’s national heritage and history.” At a series of recent township council meetings, an ad hoc group of Indigenous people and settlers has presented a resolution noting that while Perth was officially founded in 1816 as a military settlement, there was no consultation with the Algonquin, as was required by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Treaty of Niagara in 1764, both of which stipulated that any such settlements
needed to be consented to by the land’s original occupants. “We love theatre because through storytelling, and the exploration of human relationships, we can all learn something about ourselves and our place in the world,” says Smith. “Visitors to the theatrical walking tours have really become engrossed in Perth’s past, and are always seeking to learn more. When people gain an enhanced understanding of where they live, they develop stronger bonds to their community and, most importantly, their neighbours. The same applies to tourists who tend to become repeat visitors when they have a meaningful connection to the town.” This year’s Perth through the Ages tour is being produced with the support of the Perth & District Community Foundation, and the Crabtree Foundation, and in partnership with Matheson House Museum. Interested Indigenous youth are encouraged to submit an application letter to info@classictheatre.ca by April 15 or to call 613-264-8088. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

Antique ginger beer bottles excite avid Almonte collector The Pelissier from Manitoba, for example, with its wonderful Beaver design, is very rare and only two or three are known to exist. It would command well over $1,000 in today’s market. Prices for even scarcer ginger bottles can easily exceed that price. During the time of the primitive (non-transfer printed) ginger beers, Carleton Place had three breweries: Hutchings, Peden and Raine. Renfrew had the Archer brewery and there is a

The collection of antique ginger beer bottles has become very popular. Included among the collectors is Almonte resident Laurin Garland. Above, Garland’s first bottle he found is on the left, the bottle in the centre retains the original paper label found on a relatively recent (early 1900s) ginger beers. The example on the right is the rare O’Keefe’s, bottled in Ottawa with the original cap still in place. Far left, the rarest of the rare, a Chateau Laurier Pilgrim’s Ginger Beer. Left, a rare “Beaver Brand” Pelissier bottle. Submitted photos
intermediately priced ginger beer bottles because they were initially made in large quantity and many are still available. Others, however, were only ever
made in low quantity and remaining bottles were often destroyed when a brewer went out of business, making current supplies very scarce.

Toronto or Montreal. It’s not an impossible task but certainly a difficult one that might take years to achieve. But of course, any collector worth his or her salt likes a difficult task! Over the ensuing years, Garland has been fortunate to add some interesting and important bottles to his collection. Although there were several Canadian potteries across the country making ginger beer bottles, most of the stoneware was produced in England or Scotland and imported into Canada where the bottles were filled with locally brewed ginger beer. The advent of less costly and easier to clean reusable glass bottles in the early 20th century resulted in the demise of the nowcollectable stoneware ginger beer container. Ginger beer bottles range in price from a low of $30 for a commonly available simple design, such as an O’Keefe’s without the paper label, to well into the thousands of dollars for very rare bottles in excellent condition. Various designs are available on
R0012785356_0703
One-hundred-years ago, several Ottawa Valley towns supported breweries. Communities like Perth, Smith Falls, Renfrew and Carleton Place all had companies involved in the production of ginger beer. In some cases like Carleton Place, there were several in the same town. The City of Ottawa supported ten breweries that made ginger beer. It was a popular beverage throughout North America in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Today, collectors eagerly seek out these stoneware relics of bygone beer days. The brew was sold in stoneware bottles with the brewer’s name impressed into the clay or, more commonly through most of the period, transfer printed onto the stone usually with some graphic design and then glazed. A few of the most recent bottles had paper labels, sometimes combined with the printing. Laurin Garland is an avid collector of Canadian ginger beers and got his start collecting while casually browsing through an antique store. “I came across my first ginger beer bottle in a local antique store. At the time, of course, I didn’t know specifically what it was, only that it was a stone bottle with the well-known O’Keefe’s name printed around the bottom. The idea of packaging beer in a stone bottle intrigued me so, after acquiring the bottle, I began researching the subject.” Like Garland, collectors always keep a sharp eye open at flea markets, auctions and garage sales. They pay close attention and hope to find stoneware bottles with labels from Ottawa breweries like: Shaw’s, Irvine’s or Pilgrim’s Ginger Beer which, according to its label was, “Especially Brewed for Chateau Laurier.” Examples from Ottawa breweries are among the most rare and hardest to find in all of Canada. Garland went on to explain some of his next steps in building his collection. “My first real foray into expanding the collection was to attend the Bytown Club’s annual show, where I was overwhelmed by the variety available. Ultimately, I joined the club and have learned considerably more about stoneware bottles, which dominated a relatively brief period of our drinking history.” Antique collectors in all fields set objectives and parameters for themselves. Some may confine their collecting to items from a specific area like Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. Another obvious objective would be to collect the ginger beer bottles from all known breweries from a particular city like Ottawa,
rumour that Arnprior had a brewer named Bell. Smiths Falls and Perth also had a number of breweries. By the time transfer printed bottles came around, Renfrew was the only area town, other than Perth and Smiths Falls, to still have a brewery in operation. A great source for finding ginger beer bottles is the Bytown Antique and Bottle Show coming up Sunday, April 24 at the Nepean Sportsplex in Ottawa. www.ottawacollectors.com.

World Vision offers tips on how Canadians can aid victims of Ecuador earthquake International aid and development agency World Vision is on the ground and responding to Saturday, April 16’s 7.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Manabi, northwest Ecuador. The quake has claimed at least 240 lives and left more than 1,500 people injured, with more than160 aftershocks recorded. World Vision’s earthquake response: Basic first aid and provid-
ing access to essentials such as clean water; support to ensure appropriate temporary shelters for affected families; setting up child friendly spaces to provide a safe place for children to play and receive psychosocial support to alleviate emotional trauma; and delivery of humanitarian aid kits to affected families. “This is the worst earthquake to strike Ecuador since 1987. It was a
truly terrifying event felt across the country. The people of Ecuador spent a night worried about further shocks and today finding out about the extent of the damage,” said José Luis Ochoa, national director, World Vision Ecuador. Canadians can make donations to World Vision Canada to support emergency relief efforts in Ecuador. Website donations can be made at:
http://www.worldvision.ca/give-a-gift/ Pages/ecuador-earthquake.aspx. To make phone donations, call 1-888526-7770. “Canadians have been extremely generous in the past and given from the heart to help people recover from major disasters. Ecuador is now reeling from its worst earthquake in decades, and I’m counting on Canadians to continue supporting the relief
efforts of agencies such as World Vision, as we respond at full-speed to bring life-saving emergency aid, temporary shelters and clean water. Earthquakes of this magnitude cause an especially frightening and traumatic situation for children, and we are working to protect both their physical and psychosocial needs,” said Michael Messenger, president, World Vision Canada.

Car Counsellor: Don’t get deflated with tire pressure sensor failures With seasonal tire changeover season in full swing in area shops, many car owners are discovering the downside of tire pressure sensing systems. Mandated by the US government for several years now as standard safety equipment, tire pressure sensing features use sensors mounted onto the valves of the tires (in most cases). These sensors have a transmitter and send a signal to a receiver inside the vehicle, which interprets the data and displays a warning light or pressure display on the instrument panel. This lets drivers know when a tire is low on air and with more advanced systems the display can indicate exactly which tire is low and by how much. The disadvantage to these systems is the cost of replacing sensor/valve assemblies when they’re damaged during a winter to summer tire change. Sometimes it’s by accident when a tech depresses the valve to deflate the tire and the
plunger inside won’t spring back to hold pressure. In some cases it’s due to a lack of knowledge as when a tire tech pulls on the valve to pop it out thinking it’s a regular $2 part, only to find there’s a sensor attached underneath. These sensors can range in price from $65 to well over $100 each, but most can be repaired at a fraction of the price. For those sensors with regular rubber valve stems, there are service kits which can be had for less than $7-$10 each. These contain a new valve with the small screw that attaches it to the sensor, which resides inside the wheel rim. So when you’re faced with a defective or broken sensor, check out the possibility of repairing it with a service kit. The most popular brand is Schrader, which is appropriate as they are the same firm that have been outfitting tires with pressure valves since the beginning of the auto era. With the warmer weather comes

the addition of the two-wheeled mode of transport to our local roads. Bicycles and motorcycles will be out in full force with the warm temperatures and they deserve the full attention of every motorist on the highways. Riders seldom make out well in any collision with a car, truck, or SUV and it’s amazing how they and their chargers can become invisible to certain drivers at times. It would be nice if vehicles came with sensors that popped up a ‘caution cyclist/rider near’ icon on our dashes, but in the absence of such a feature we’ll have to rely on our
brains. Keep an eye and ear out for these two-wheeled commuters and recognize that they have just as much right to a safe road and ride as everyone that shares our highways. As sure as singing birds and green grass, the return of auto classics and rods shows is a real sign of spring. This weekend the fourth annual Ottawa AutoRama Classic and Custom Car Show returns to the Ernst & Young Centre (CE Centre) on Uplands Drive near the Ottawa airport. It runs on Saturday and Sunday (April 23 and 24) and for more details you can log onto www. ottawaautorama.ca. In beautiful downtown Perth the annual Festival of the Maples Car Show rolls onto Harriot Street near Stewart Park on Saturday, April 30 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s part of the larger Festival of the Maples event that brings fans young and old out to shoo winter away and welcome the warmer weather.

Summer camps for children and teenagers offer a world of possibilities: sports, music, arts, sciences, languages, etc. These days, there’s something for everyone. And apart from being educational and fun, summer camps have a positive effect on the development and self-fulfillment of all participants.
Experiencing the thrill of summer camp allows children of all ages to develop their social skills and make new friends. Children also improve their ability to resolve conflicts and learn to better understand their feelings and those of the people around them. They gain more independence and self-confidence, too. Those are some pretty significant benefits, aren’t they? And that’s not counting the fact that many campers also learn how to better protect the environment. Summer camp is rewarding in every way, provided you make the right choice. Your first priority as a parent is to ensure that your child has lots of fun in a safe environment. So, how to choose the perfect camp from among all those available? It’s simple: just take into account the following criteria.
Everyone’s expectations Decide what type of experience you want to offer your child. Do you prefer an “all-round” camp or one that explores the world of art? A camp that allows children to specialize in a sport or other talent? Obviously, it’s important to talk about this with your child. By offering various options, your child will be able to clarify his or her expectations and choose an appropriate camp. Practical details Discuss the length of stay and type of lodging (dormitory, cottage, tent, etc.). Think about any special needs your child has (physical or intellectual disabilities, severe allergies, etc.), as well as your own budget restrictions. Armed with these selection criteria, do a bit of research and select some
camps that seem especially interesting. Next, look at their websites with your child; the photographs and comments will help you better assess the atmosphere of the camp. If necessary, call for more information about activities, menus and parent-child contact. Alternatively, you could visit the camps; just be sure to make an appointment or check if there is an open house. You can also ask for referrals from family or friends. You’ve made your choice and your child is thrilled? Summer camps often fill up quickly, so don’t wait too long before reserving a place.

How to prepare the kids for their first summer camp This summer, your children are going away to summer camp for the very ďŹ rst time. And maybe it’s also the ďŹ rst time you’ve been separated from them for so long. Everyone’s probably feeling a little apprehensive. Here are some tips to help everyone prepare for the day of departure. • The best way to reassure children is not to worry. If you have speciďŹ c concerns, call the camp and ask all the questions that are bothering you. Some camps hold open house days; they are a great opportunity to check out the location, meet the counsellors, and get some reassurance. • To build your children’s enthusiasm and interest, talk positively about the camp and ask them about the activities they can’t wait to try. You can also tell them stories about your own experiences, if you ever went to summer camp. • If your children have never slept away from home, it would be a good idea let them have a trial run. A weekend at their grandparents will likely be a comfortable initiation, and it will prepare them for the few nights they’ll soon be spending away from you. • Don’t promise your children that you’ll go and bring them home if they feel homesick or if they don’t like the camp. They could very
well test your promise at the ďŹ rst hurdle. It will also keep them from making a genuine effort to adapt if they know they can leave whenever they want. Instead, encourage them to persevere. They can decide whether they want to repeat the experience once they’re back home. Above all, put on your biggest smile when you say goodbye to them at the camp. It will let them enter into their experience without worry that you’re in distress. After all, they’re going to be having an extraordinary adventure!

An appreciative audience and connection is all a musician strives for of the most terrifying situations in our early lives. Some overcome it but many never do. I share these questions to help give you a sense of what it’s like for a singer/songwriter to sit before a listening audience and perform their own original material, up close and personal. In our house concert hosting days, I remember specifically more than one seasoned, successful performers who were “scared silly” to perform in such an intimate atmosphere. Songs are often triggered by one’s own experiences so baring one’s soul to people you don’t even know can be a huge leap of faith. Thankfully, many do. Now, I’ll ask you to try to remember back to a time when you spoke up at a meeting or presented at a conference, wedding, etc. before an audience and the resulting proud, satisfying feeling surging through you when you realized those listening were actually appreciating what you had to say, were hanging on every word. It’s quite a self-gratifying feeling to know you’ve captured their interest. It’s that satisfaction musicians dream of following a performance. Nashville’s David Olney expressed how much he appreciated his reception at O’Reilly’s recently, where the whole room was silent, listening and seeking all he had to offer. He wasn’t expecting this from a bar room and was pleasantly surprised, informing how rare this is for
him when playing around the world... an infrequent, welcome satisfaction. That’s what’s so special about the new Sunday Evening Listening Series, held monthly at O’Reilly’s Ale House in Perth. It’s a rare opportunity for
both the audience and the musician. This relaxed situation allows the musician to share stories about the birth of various tunes. On Sunday, April 24 at 7 p.m., Brea Lawrenson, Shawn McCullough and Wade Foster will be stepping up to share their own compositions. Lawrenson, from Carleton Place, has been lighting up the music world. Nominated for five Country Music Association of Ontario Awards this year as an independent artist, has been on the country charts across the country five times in the past year…
not bad for not even hitting 25 yet. Her heartfelt writings have won the hearts of a huge following, including playing the Boots & Hearts Festival this summer. McCullough grew up playing in his parents’ country band from six years of age, had his own band since a teen, was nominated for guitarist of the year when he was lead guitar and harmony vocalist with Jason McCoy and now lends his musicality in local bands including doubleBack and See MUSINGS page 37

As I sat at a local watering hole recently, trying to listen to a good player punch out some cover tunes, it struck me hard just how difficult musicians have it when playing their hearts out to less than attentive audiences. I honestly don’t know how they do it. I’m not naive enough to think everyone entered the establishment to be entertained. They are there to chat with friends, enjoy a meal, etc. but to never clap after any song, to never acknowledge someone trying to earn a living entertaining them, well, that’s just sad. Showing some respect isn’t difficult. A little applause here and there doesn’t hurt, nor does checking to see if those seated around you may be trying to listen. Easily done... musicians practice long, learning new material, spend hard-earned money to keep their equipment up and put up with a lot. The least we can do is respect them. Luckily there are other options for those wanting to get their live music fix… Remember the first time your teacher asked you to stand up and read something you’d written to the rest of the class? Does that internal fear, the shaking knees, timid voice, the sweaty palms, all come flooding back? Do you recollect the sudden anxiety of fearing how your classmates might respond to your thoughts, especially if what you’d written was of a more personal nature? For most of us, it is one

It is more accountable and useful to use data that measures achievement on a student-by-student basis.

Jungle Book film can’t live up to animated classic MOVIE: The Jungle Book STARRING: Neel Sethi, Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong’o, Giancarlo Esposito, Scarlet Johansson, Christopher Walken and Idris Elba DIRECTOR: Jon Favreau RATING: PG The Jungle Book is a classic. Some might even say it’s untouchable. I will say it takes vision to take on a classic like The Jungle Book, and Jon Favreau, if nothing else, has vision. This is the story of Mowgli (Neel Sethi) who as a baby was found in the jungle by the panther Bagheera (Ben Kingsley). Bagheera took Mowgli to Raksha (Lupita Nyong’o) and Akela (Giancarlo Esposito) of the wolf pack to be raised as a wolf. For a long time life in the jungle was good. As Mowgli grew older he struggled to be a wolf. It didn’t matter how hard he tried he wasn’t a wolf. Still, Mowgli was happy. Then Shere Khan (Idris Elba) the tiger returned. He caught the man cub’s scent, and demanded the wolves give Mowgli to him. The wolves refused, but there was strife in the pack. Unwilling to see anyone get hurt Mowgli
My Take
MARK HASKINS
decided to leave the pack. Bagheera agreed knowing Mowgli would only be safe when he was with his own kind. As Mowgli makes his way through the jungle he escapes the great python Kaa (Scarlet Johannson), is captured by the giant orangutan King Louie (Christopher Walken), and makes friends with the loveable bear Baloo (Bill Murray). Mowgli is torn between having to leave and wanting to stay, yet the threat of Shere Khan constantly looms over him. In so many ways this Jungle Book is the best of Kipling’s original novel, and the beloved Disney animated feature. This film is a little darker and a little more serious than the Disney film, but it balances those more serious aspects with some of the songs and humour of Disney’s Jungle Book. The animation is gorgeous. It brings the jungle to life like no other film before it. Each char-
acter is rich in detail and incredibly life like. It is like watching actual animals move across the screen. Favreau has brought together a tremendous cast to voice these characters. Ben Kingsley gives such weight and sincerity to Bagheera. Bill Murray is ideal to play the loveable bear who strives to live the easy life. Lupita Nyong’o, Giancarlo Esposito, Scarlet Johansson and Christopher Walken are fantastic. Idris Elba sends shivers down your spine as the voice of Shere Khan. The whole cast is brilliant with one very notable exception. I was not impressed by Neel Sethi. I found his performance wooden, and too much like a young child playing make believe. To be fair it’s extremely difficult to react to animals and characters that aren’t there. Regardless if the one real person on the screen can’t believe in what’s happening neither will you. Favreau’s vision was to create a film that captures the heart of the Disney classic while being true to the original novel. Unfortunately with his lead actor falling short The Jungle Book doesn’t quite get there.

Second annual Heritage Symposium provides lessons in history Michael Miller
That run-down barn by the side of the road you passed on your way into town today might actually be a part of Canada’s rural heritage. Members of the Kemptville area were treated to an in-depth look at examples of farmsteads in the province dating as far back as 1801, as part of the municipality’s second annual heritage symposium. Taking place at the Urbandale Arts Centre at the North Grenville Municipal Centre April 15, Dr. John Carter, a barn expert, presented an hour-long discussion of proposed heritage sites across Ontario with an emphasis on barns. An incredible number of these structures have withstood the test of time, standing on our land prior to Canada’s birth as a country nearly 150 years ago. Carter hit on different techniques and avenues of conservation with these structures, noting that they will forever be engrained in our Canadian values as they were largely responsible for us coming together as a nation. “Like Joni Mitchell said, ‘to save all the trees put ‘em in a tree museum,’ well sometimes, you can save farmsteads by turning them into museums of their own,” said Carter. Touching on different benefits behind preserving and restoring barns, many of which— in their current state— are decrepit and falling apart, Carter shared his obvious passion for these outbuildings that many people in urban areas might pass by, never giving a second thought to. The significance of restoring historical fixtures such as barns comes

It’s considered to be a non-economical investment to preserve and maintain these structures that don’t really serve any immediate use, said Carter. “People need to see that for things to stay the same, there needs to be
change. We have to proactively manage these sites if we’d like them to stay standing,” said Inge Van Gemeren, an attendee at the symposium. While wrapping up his presentation, Carter mentioned how he would like to see more funding allotted by
the government to maintain these sites and have them designated their deserved title of Canadian heritage sites. “Farmers that want to preserve say they don’t have the funding from the province,” said Carter. “That’s a huge issue with keeping these structures
standing that there’s just no support from the government.” Documenting and re-adapting these barns for modern use is key to keeping them standing, if for nothing else, to acknowledge their role in our growth as a nation. “Your local furniture & appliance showroom.”

Director of finance brings a decade of experience to the table MUNICIPALITY
From front page
“We have been so happy here,” said Zywicki just a few days into her new position and office at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. She acquired her accounting skills in a roundabout way. All of her life she wanted to be a veterinarian. After she graduated from high school she headed off to Queen’s University to obtain a science degree. Her plan was to work her way towards a veterinary career. Before too long she decided that while she loved animals and caring for them, she was not all that enamoured with the science part of things. Her family, specifically her father and grandfather, are chartered accountants. With a little prodding her father was able to interest her into looking at a career in accounting. While finishing at Queen’s she enrolled at Carleton University. “I come from a long line of chartered accounts,” said Zywicki. “My dad convinced me to to be a chartered accountant.” She remembered she did not enjoy all of the science courses, “but business and accounting just seemed to be a natural thing to
me,” she said. In the end she was able to do both. She is a chartered accountant but has a horse near home. It is the best of both worlds. Her experience with finances bridges two worlds; the public service and the private sector. “I am used to following procedures and recommending improvements to procedures and processes,” she explained. “I am also an internal auditor by trade.” “I was looking for a greater challenge and opportunity,” said Zywicki. She believes that as the director of finance/treasurer she will be able to add value to the municipality. “There are some new polices that need to be put into place and some that need to be re-evaluated,” she said. She believes she will be able to help other department heads. “I can serve in a training role.” She will be able to help out with grant applications as well as make sure that whatever the municipality wants to do from a financial perspective is done the right way. One of her favourite financial topics is long-term financial planning and municipal spending. “There is a benefit to long-term Joseph Morin/METROLAND planning,” she said. Nicole Zywicki has been brought on board as North Grenville’s director of finance/treasurer.

Look out Hollywood. Theresa Graham, student at St. Michael Catholic High School, created one of the best Remembrance Day films in the province, according to the Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command. On March 23, she was called into Principal Richard James’ office and handed an envelope containing the $300 grand prize from the RCL. She won first place in her category for the competition. “I didn’t realize how much of a big deal it was,” said Graham. “It’s just starting to sink in now.” The film she created featured a Second World War soldier by the name of William Davis and a series of monologues by his family members talking about their loss. “Last year, the drama department made a video with a series of black and white monologues by the actors in last year’s play,” she explained. “The monologues were people’s stories of having loved ones in the war. I took the monologue idea from that.” She wanted to go deeper into the emotions felt by a fallen soldier’s family. “I rallied up some actors and we scheduled times to film,” she said. “I wrote the majority of the monologues and the actors
added their own bits and pieces.” The actors included Emily Bellafontaine, William Dorken, Brianna Davies, Melanie Lachance, Sophie Reoch and Kotay Bryson. To make the actors look older, Graham sought help from Vanessa Huels. The other effects in the film were done on iMovie, the primary program used by Graham. “I made it look like it was filmed in the ‘40s.” The film itself is a touching tribute to Canadian soldiers and their families, who make the ultimate sacrifice. “When I get an idea, it’s in my head and I can’t get it out,” she said. “Often, my ideas are very complex, like flying drone shots and professional equipment. But I don’t have any of that.” Last year, Graham won a GoPro camera at the MyView Film Festival. “That was the dominant equipment I used to film the soldier,” she explained. “All the outdoor shots were done with the GoPro.” The shots were done in a field, at the St. Mike’s chapel and one shot in the trenches behind the school. “We finished the film on Nov. 11,” she said. “It took about two months to make.” Following a suggestion from

I’ve grown up with the strangest culture. I like to refer to us as strange hippies. This is what happens when you’re raised on ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ and ‘Godspell.’ It’s in my blood.” Graham’s Remembrance Day film has been viewed over 4,000 times.

She is already working on her film for the 2016 MyView Film Festival. “The film has a message I really wanted to get across this year,” she said. Graham is a big lover of Barbra Streisand, especially ‘What’s Up, Doc?’ and ‘Funny Girl.’ “I love her so much,” she said.

Sin, Sex and the CIA opens April 28 Save the dates April 28th through May 1st for Sin, Sex and the CIA. Plots, schemes, and sub-plots abound when a tiny but very oil rich island is offered “help” by many interested parties. Their goal is to help this island disperse of their riches (of course into their pockets). A meeting is set up to discuss various possibilities. Security for the island is planned, and the chaos ensues.... Steve Wendt is the director of this spring’s play. He had only one intention when he took on this role, and that was that the play should be fun for everyone - the audience and the cast alike. He is sure that the play is going to deliver all the fun anyone can handle. In speaking with the authors of the play, Michael and Susan Parker, Steve learned that their writing style is very specific. The Parkers want to bring English-style comedy to community theatre stages in North America. They also wanted to bring this type of zany comedy to our stages without driving up production costs for community theatre groups. According to Steve, that is exactly what was achieved. He has prepared lots of laughs without having to inflate the low ticket prices that we have learned to love. He thinks that because of this, you should buy several tickets - one for yourself, and one each for an extended group of family and friends. He says the money won’t be a problem, and this play could do wonders for your relationships! Steve has been on stage in Kemptville as an actor more than a dozen times in plays and musicals with KPI and with the North Grenville Kemptville Concert Choir. He has directed plays a few times as well, and has had one memorable experience doing on-stage Foley (sound effects) for “The 39 Steps - A Live Radio Play.” Steve really wanted out of acting and into directing because he was worried about being typecast as the guy who gets caught on stage wearing funny underpants. Thank goodness that in this play someone else has to show of those underpants. Directing this play has been a joy for Steve, as he is constantly supported by his two wonderful assistant directors, Lee Gaw and Cathie Raina. Sin Sex and the CIA runs at the Urbandale Arts Centre Thursday April 28th through Saturday April 30th @ 7:30 p.m. and again on May 1st at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person, available at B&H Grocers, Business Strategies, Municipal Centre or by calling 613-258-2051.

Regional Bridge Building competition is a smashing success Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
The Regional Bridge Building competition was a smashing success for students in the Upper Canada District School Board as the top team from Perth and District Collegiate High School setting a new record with their load bearing bridge pushed to a new breaking point – 101 kg. The team of Liam Ducharme, Nathan Duncan, Kaitlyn Schonauer and Ewan Jordan watched in fascination as each crank of a bridge breaking device – created by Ireland – failed to smash the students’ Popsicle stick structure. Once the device registered 100 kg, the gymnasium filled with budding engineers, erupted in a chorus of cheers. “I believe you have just set a new record,” said John Ireland, an engineer in the 1000 Islands region who helped organize this event during National Engineering Month. For their sturdy structure, the kids were awarded the top prize for the day. Their bridge was almost twice as tough as the second placed team, also from PDCI. Lincoln Bishop, Nolan Attebury, Jonathan Miller took second place with their bridge as it held 56.2 kg of pressure. In third place was Oxford on
the Rideau’s team of Kaden Perry, Taylor Hillier with a load of 44.6 kg. Elaine Ireland is a teacher at Oxford on the Rideau Public School. She’s also the teacher champion for the engineers. She contacts the various schools in the area to see if there is interest in this competition. “It starts with in-school competition, and then either the winners or the students who are most enthused about building. Three teams are allowed to build a second bridge and come to the regional competition.” This is the fourth year of the competition. The regional competition has has been held at Duncan J. Schoular School, Wolford, Oxford on the Rideau, and this year, at Chimo. The Popsicle competitions have been going on for 12 years, starting at Duncan J. “After eight years, we don’t want them to just have an inschool competition and just end, because a lot of students were coming up to the end of the competition after figuring out where their bridges broke and they wanted to try again. So we thought, why not have a regional competition,” Ireland explained. There were 47 students participating, and seven schools. There were 17 teams in total. “It went very, very well,” she said. “The kids were just so enthused and taking pictures. They
were recording each other, sending it off to Facebook. Their relatives have already seen what they have done and it’s amazing. I was sitting in amongst them and the are already looking at next year, trying to design.” There were 10 schools involved in the in-school competition, or well over 1,000 students throughout the month of March. “Chimo had 67 bridges and we at Oxford on the Rideau had 20, so there were lots of kids involved in it this year,” she added. There have been a lot of students changing their minds to take some sciences in high school, Elain said. Hitting them young in public school is important; it gets them thinking about engineering and science. That’s why this competition is focused on students from the elementary levels. “It’s extremely important an the bridge building is not just teaching them science. It’s teaching them how to work together, how to be a leader, how to get your ideas across and think about other ideas and kind of collaborate on it and so we call them our character virtues in Upper Canada (District School Board) and bridge building hits them all.” Even resiliency. “I have seen kids almost get their bridge done and someone steps on it. That doesn’t deter
them. They madly work on a way to try and rebuild.” Competitors Chimo had three teams in the competition. They included: team one, Melissa Allen, Kasey Vandusen, Jacob Ditchburn, 20.7 kg; team two, Ellee Cleroux, Emma Renaud, Bella Brunette, Mya Clark, 17.6 kg; and team three: Anna Lucas, Serena Huneault, Megan Postma, Chloe Hall, 17.4 kg. Oxford on the Rideau had three teams as well: Theo Taylor, Gareth Robinson, 26.6; and Layn Lystiuk, Isabella Grinstead, 23.2. And their overall third place team is listed above. DJ Schoular had two teams: Josh Hewitt was a team of one, and his bridge held 29.3 kg; and team two included: Alesha Barber-Williams, Britlee Watts, Gabby Vaughan, Jaydon Bellinger, 36.9 kg. Toniata of Brockville had three teams: Lilly Hutt and Jack Lyon, 21.9 kg; Alex Lindsay and Abby Hart, 28.4 kg; and Abbey Pilling and Evi Heidecker, 20 kg. From PDCI, the third team comprised Anthony Wark, Tanner Drynan, Logan Stinson, 27.9 kg. Westminster of Brockville sent three teams as well: Ella Argue, Brindle Schaafsma, 15.7 kg; Tori Morin,Summer Covi, Anniah Lanctot, 21.2 kg, and Ella Troop and Meg Knudsen, 2.4 kg.
Oxford on the Rideau Public School students Kaden Perry and Taylor Hiller were third in the Regional Bridge Building competition at Chimo Public School on Friday, April 1. Laurie Weir/METROLAND

NGFS responds to garage fire, tractor trailer rollover It was a busy morning for the North Grenville Fire Service on April 18. At 2:49 a.m., crews responded to a detached garage fire at 284 Riverview Lane in Kemptville. The garage was fully involved on arrival. The fire was controlled quickly. The fire remains under investigation. One hour later, at 3:50 a.m., fire services responded to a tractor trailer rollover on Highway 416 at Oxford Station. The driver was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated. The single occupant of the truck (driver) was transported to the civic hospital. One lane of the 416 Northbound at Oxford Station was closed during rescue efforts. Connected to Your Community - K7 - Thursday, April 21, 2016
OPINION
I
One small act
saw something pretty extraordinary in front of B&H Grocer on Friday. I was loading my groceries into my car and I noticed a woman talking to the knitting guy, who was sitting on a bench. For those of you unfamiliar with the knitting guy, whose real name I don’t know, he sits in front of various local establishments with his ball of yarn and knitting needles and sells his handcrafted clothes to people around town. He is a very nice guy, who I have spoken to briefly a number of times. He never bothers anyone, just sits quietly, knitting, and waits for people to solicit him for goods. He is part of Kemptville – just as much as the library and Riverside Park are parts of the community. He adds colour to the North Grenville palette. I could only hear tidbits of what the woman was saying to the knitting man, but the conversation really lightened my heart. I heard her tell him that God had given him a gift, and it was a beautiful gift, to be able to knit such amazing things. She said it was wonderful to see a young man taking up such a useful craft and put it to good use. She repeated again what a wonderful gift he had and how lucky he was to have it, as not everyone is blessed with such talent. That’s when I stopped listening and got into my car. I drove away in a far better mood than when I had arrived.

t’s the sound of spring on the farm. Geese honk as they organize their formation and announce their return to the one-mile stretch of Kemptville Creek that runs along the edge of our property. It’s a goose paradise over there. Too shallow for watercraft other than a canoe. Alive with frogs, beetles, fish and other tiny water creatures. The goose hunters love it too. A few years ago I was working on a documentary film with the James Bay Cree of Northern Quebec. The setting for many of the interviews was their hunting and fishing communities. I spent a couple of hours in a smokehouse, watching one of the elder women slowly turning a goose on a string over an open fire. Life goes slowly there, in the hunt camp outside Waskaganish. You have lots of time to talk. You learn the almost musical cadence of story-telling. I told stories about my life on the farm. When I mentioned the creek and the influx of geese in spring, I had their attention. When goose season rolled around again, a Cree hunting party arrived at the Fisher farm, ready to harvest. In Eeyou Istchee, where my Cree friends are from, goose season is a two-week-long holiday from work
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
As I travelled along to my next destination of the day, the same thought kept playing over and over in my head; what if every single person on earth took a few moments out of each day to lift someone else up emotionally? What if we all stopped, just as the woman had, to compliment a complete stranger? What would the world be like in a year? What that woman did was truly beautiful. In my line of work, I meet a lot of people who do incredibly generous things without thought of recognition. I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand humility on a weekly basis and the even greater privilege of writing about it, sometimes against people’s will. Stories like this one are the reason I love my job. The world is filled with beauty. I know sometimes it seems dark and evil, but there are pockets of beauty everywhere. Human beings are capable of indisputable evil and immeasurable compassion. Which side of human behaviour you choose to focus on is your own prerogative. I choose to look for the good.

and school. Multiple generations of families return to their hunt camps near the water. The successful hunters return to the villages with their coolers full of geese and they share it among their neighbours. They have community feasts and practice their traditional way of life. They cook the meat slowly, and use the time to reconnect. It is a time of year that many First Nations People cherish – rich with culture and customs. The communities of Eeyou Istchee are the most affluent First Nations towns and villages in Canada, because of the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA). In the 1970s the first Grand Council of the Crees, led by Grand Chief Billy Diamond, packed very non-traditional clothing in their suitcases and said goodbye to their families. In Montreal, they created quite a vision walking
shoulder-to-shoulder down the city street to the courthouse in their new business suits. Tall, dark and strikingly handsome men, their long shining hair flapping in the wind. They were there to make an agreement with the Canadian government that would allow the damming of seven of their rivers in order to produce hydroelectric power. This agreement would be sustainable, to lay the foundation for a successful future for the people of Eeyou Istchee. As a result, when you go to Nemaska, Mistissini and Waskaganish – a historic spot in Canada’s history where the first Hudson’s Bay fur trading post is clearly marked – you see for the most part tidy little modern homes, expensive trucks and welldressed people. They have the money to travel ‘down south’ to shop for the things the rest of us take for granted. They are well-connected with highspeed Internet, and cable TV. The remoteness of the communities, however, is stark. Especially in winter, when the bitter wind makes it too cold to spend a lot of time outside. If you spend a few days you will inevitably encounter a hint of what happens in the truly desperate First Nations communities in Canada.
In places like Attawapiskat this year, many will not have the heart to go on their traditional spring goose hunt. They won’t be able to pack up their things and take their families to their hunt camps for two weeks, as they have every year since time immemorial. Because an illness has descended upon their village, and it is insidious. Pervasive. They don’t know where it will strike next. Children and young people are making suicide pacts, in an attempt to draw the country’s attention to their desperate need. The people of Attawapiskat need far more than a month’s worth of intensive medical attention by a few psychologists and nurses. Clean running water, warm, adequate housing
and functional toilets would be a good start. Yes, I know the problems in our native communities run deep and will take more than simple infrastructure investment to fix. But we have to start somewhere. It just isn’t right that this is happening in our country. I imagine how the people in our remote communities feel when they hear we are bringing in tens of thousands of refugees and giving them a new life. It is the Canadian way, to help others in need. Every human being deserves the necessities of life. Once they have those basic things, we can look at the bigger picture. www.dianafisherbooks.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.

The snack generation Snacks and treats are by definition supposed to be small. The name implies that it is a between meal hold over. So, why is it, that so many of us eat snacks in such large portions? Well, first they are packaged in large bags or containers. Read the portion size label and you will instantly recognize how much we are out of proportion. Everyone is guilty of eating a whole bag of chips while watching a movie. Bowls and plates are much bigger now than they were in the 1940s and 50s. There is a reason for that. Food manufacturers want you to eat more. The fact of the matter is, we only really enjoy the taste sensation of a food for the first three bites. Once those three bites have been consumed, our taste buds go into neutral mode and become saturated with salt, sugar and fat. Sitting down to three meals a day is a past tradition. Few families share three meals a day anymore. Breakfast is on the run, lunch is often eaten at work or school and supper is often simply a meal that is consumed while families rush from one event to an-

other. Snacking has become our new way of eating many of our meals. We demand convenience and grab and go foods… all the time. Commercial food processers love this because it contributes to their business. In fact they come out with at least five new snack foods each month to indulge their taste buds. These treats are often full of salt, sugar and fat. Grab a measuring cup and measure out a ½ cup of food anytime and you will see what a snack should be. It will very likely surprise you! Snack time can be used to help build fruit and vegetable servings. Prepackaged snacks are almost always empty calories. Children grab a snack after school and then they are too full to properly enjoy their actual meal. Adults do this too! The best way to combat the snack attack on your
weight and digestive system is to plan your meals and snacks. A snack can easily be changed over to a real carrot or an apple. Stress also leads to the “munchies”. Your brain needs plenty of glucose to balance stress and we tend to grab sugar treats that act fast to pump up our bodies. This feels great at first, but the sugar high does not last and often leads to a crash in energy. Mindless eating can pile on the calories. Planning will help deter this. Spend a little time on our grocery list and actually have snacks available that will provide energy without all the processed sugar, salt and fat! Even focusing on chewing foods rather than eating on the run is relaxing and allows you to enjoy the fresh foods you are eating! It may be mundane to do a food diary, but it certainly helps point out meals and
snack habits. Often people have lattes or high calorie drinks on the run. This is good to keep your fluids up, but it is all the sugar/ salt and possibly caffeine that gets added. Filling up on fluids does not feed your body or really fill up your stomach when you are hungry. Planning for snacks and keeping them to the proper portion size will help a lot when you are trying to either lose weight or simply stay healthy. Take a few minutes and pack veggie bags and put fruit in a clear bowl to keep it more visual for snacking! Examine the types of snacks you grab. Perhaps some hummus or peanut butter on whole wheat bread or a celery stick will satisfy the need! Look at what you are craving and what your body needs before you grab foods between meals. People often mistake thirst for hunger. I like to use snacks to fill spots like vegetables or fruit that are required according to Canada’s Food Guide servings.

SNC spring clean-up event: South Nation Cache in Trash Out With the last little bit of snow cover long gone, a winter’s worth of garbage accumulation is now revealed, just in time for the 7th annual Cache-In, Trash-Out (CITO) event hosted by South Nation Conservation (SNC) and the Geocachers of Eastern Ontario. This year’s rain-or-shine event will be held Saturday, April 23rd beginning at 9 a.m. Participants are asked to meet at the Spencerville Mill to register and to dress according to the weather with good working clothes, footwear and gloves. Garbage bags and other supplies will be provided. John Mesman, SNC Communications Specialist, says that “this event brings together volunteers from all parts of Eastern Ontario and builds a strong sense of community and
support for the environment.” The cleanup will focus on pre-selected sites at nearby parks, trails and other public spaces including nearby towns. Participants will be separated into groups to tackle the various locations. Everyone involved will regroup at the Spencerville Mill by 12:30 p.m. for a free lunch, group photo and prizes. Over the years, CITO has been held at conservation areas and communities throughout South Nation’s jurisdiction extending from the Ottawa River near Plantagenet, to the St. Lawrence River east of Prescott. Everyone is encouraged to attend; the event is not limited to geocachers. A surprising amount of trash and “odd relics from the woods” are amassed every year. Perhaps the

most memorable item recovered was a Volkswagen Beetle. “We expect to have another tremendous volunteer turnout from the geocaching community,” said Tim Jackson who has been coordinating the event from its inception. A former SNC employee, Jackson is an award winning member of the Geocachers. “The event has become a highlight for any geocacher based in Eastern Ontario. Even if it rains, we always seem to have well over 100 volunteers turn up.” For those not yet in the loop, the basic idea of geocaching is to locate containers hidden outdoors, examine the contents, and share discoveries online.

NGFS challenges residents to build 72-hour survival kit Emergency Preparedness Week, from May 1 to 7, is a Canada-wide initiative to increase awareness of individual and family preparedness. The Ontario provincial theme for this year is ‘Emergency Preparedness starts with you, Prepare YourSelfie!’ which focuses on personal preparedness. The North Grenville Fire Service wants to encourage residents of North Grenville to build a 72-hour kit for their home. We challenge residents to take a ‘selfie’ with it the kit then submit it to Fire Prevention Officer Shannon Armitage at sarmitage@northgrenville. on.ca to demonstrate how they are personally prepared for emergencies. All successful submissions received by Friday, May 6 at 4 p.m., will be invited to a special meet and greet with Fire Chief Paul Hutt, Director of Emergency and Protective Services, where they will receive a personal tour of the North Grenville Fire Hall and an Emergency Preparedness Certificate. Selfies will also be posted on Twitter @NG_FireService. Your emergency survival kit should have everything you and your family would need to be safe and take care of yourselves for at least three days immedi-
ately following an emergency. The following list is broken down into the essentials, items you may need to meet your family’s unique needs, and items to have ready in case you have to leave your home. What to put in the 72-hour kit: Essentials * Food (non-perishable and easy-to-prepare items, enough for 3 days) and a manual can opener * Bottled water (4 litres per person for each day) * Medication(s) * Flashlight * Radio (crank or batteryrun) * Extra batteries * First-aid kit * Candles and matches/ lighter * Hand sanitizer or moist towelettes * Important papers (identification, contact lists, copies of prescriptions, etc.) * Extra car keys and cash * Whistle (to attract attention, if needed) * Zip-lock bag (to keep things dry) * Garbage bags
bottles, baby food, comfort items *Prescription medication * Medical supplies and equipment * Pet food and supplies * Any other items specific to your family’s needs
Other tips *Pack the contents of your kit in an easy-to-carry bag(s) or a case on wheels. * Store your kit in a place that is easy to reach, and ensure that everyone in your family knows where it is. * Your kit does not have to be built overnight. Spread your shopping over a few weeks. Purchase a few items every time you go to the store. * Your water supply is meant to cover what you would drink as well as what you might need for food preparation, hygiene and dishwashing. * Check and refresh your kit twice a year—when the clocks shift to/from daylight savings time is a good time. Check all expiry dates and replace food and water with a fresh supply. Check batteries and replace as needed.

Give your lawn a break Finally a stretch of sunny spring weather. I know it got us outside last weekend. Good to see folks out with big fan rakes and even bigger smiles. It’s still early for planting but the perfect time to get your lawn off to a good start.
INSIDE
Just remember to keep it moist for the first week and don’t mow until it grows to about three inches.
ottawavalley
I’ve written about this in previous years but it bears repeating because as I drive around I still see the same mistake. Lawn tractors dragging huge heavy cylinders. At this time of year the soil is still moist as the frost leaves the ground. A lumpy bumpy lawn is quite normal. I know it’s not aesthetically pleasing but if you insist on a lawn that looks like a pool table, you are starting your turf grass off with a major disadvantage by compacting the soil. This is the time of year to give your lawn a break. Literally. You will never see a golf course dragging a 500 lb roller down the fairway. They aerate, normally with a core aerator that takes out plugs and then lightly top dress. The whole idea is to break up soil to allow water and nutrients to reach the roots.
Fertilizer? As your lawn comes out of dormancy it’s going .CA to need a little breakfast. “Little” being the operative word. Many think that if a little fertilizer is good, more is better. Particularly the high nitrogen and iron formulas. Everyone seems to want that instant green that chemicals can deliver, but be careful how you go. Too much fertilizer will quickly burn the new shoots. With free range chickens and ducks, I have dispensed with the chemical fertilizers. I just go with my feathered fertilizer crew. The only exception is our putting green with it’s close cropped bentgrass. I’ve found what works the best for me is “Compost Tea”. I fill an old pillowcase with compost and let it sit in a tub of water in the sun for a few days. Then pour off the amber liquid .CA into a large watering can and give the green a good soaking early in the morning. Lots of beneficial microbes and it will never burn the grass.
ottawa COMMUNITY
So here’s the plan. Borrow or rent a spike aerator or preferably a core aerator. If you just have a small plot, get aggressive with a garden fork (very therapeutic). Follow that up with a good stiff raking to remove any accumulated thatch and break up any plugs.
Then it’s time to think about overseeding any bare spots with a quality seed mix. Grass seed just loves the cool spring days for germination.

NGDHS gets new life for music programs with $10,000 grant North Grenville District High School has rejuvenated its music program after receiving a $10,000 Band Aid grant through the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) MusiCounts program. The money has been used to purchase new instruments and to repair and restore aging ones, bringing new life to the North Grenville program, said Heather Lance, intermediate music teacher. “I’m thrilled to see our aging instruments repaired and being used and to have new instruments added to our programs,” said Lance. “It brings new life to our existing programs and opens the door to developing new ones. Our students are definitely excited to have instruments that are in good working condition.” The money was used to purchase 10 new Djembe African drums for the school’s popular big baNG drumming group, two new flutes, and two clarinets. A new set of bass bars – a seven-piece bass xylophone set – will also enhance the sound of the school’s newly formed xylophone group known as the ‘16th Notes.’ Most importantly, the
grant funded $4,000 in repairs to 39 musical instruments, including fixing broken keys, straightening rods, replacing pads on clarinets and saxophones, alignments, straightening and cleaning valves, and straightening slides on trombones to restore their sound and look. What was exciting about the project was that not only did it bring new life to the music program for 270 intermediate students, it brought the North Grenville community together to support the grant application, said Lance. The application to CARAS received the backing of the school board and wider community with letters of support from students, parents, school staff, and a board superintendent. The new instruments are already making a quality program even better. Recently, the school’s big baNG drumming group won gold in the world music division at the Capital Region Music Festival, qualifying for the 2016 MusicFest Canada national festival this May in Ottawa.

Wicked spring concerts by the North Grenville Concert Choir It is spring and renewal is in the air! The North Grenville Concert Choir is bringing an exciting show for all to enjoy that will include medleys from several very popular musicals. Rehearsals have been ongoing since the beginning of January under the wonderful musical direction of Phillip Konopka. Many new members have joined and
in fact, the choir has doubled in size since last fall; we have welcomed several young singers who bring a breath of fresh air and much talent to our choir. A medley of Wicked, the musical will be one of the musicals performed … we know many young people can relate to the movie Frozen! Based
on the novel ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’ by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is the backstory of what transpired in Oz before (and during) Dorothy’s visit. Currently the tenth-longest running musical on Broadway and one of the most popular musicals ever, Wicked is the moving story of the powerful
friendship between Glinda the Good, and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and a thought-provoking exploration of the facets of goodness and wickedness. It is designed to get the audience questioning what wicked really is, and the different ways it can come to be. The choir has had a blast rehearsing all this great music and
they will bring much joy and energy in singing these amazing musical pieces. Performances will be held during the weekend of May 13-15. Stay tuned for details of location & time, as well as more exciting updates of the other musicals in the weeks ahead! Visit www.ngcc.net for more information. Submitted by the NGCC
Mamma Mia, here we go again with the NGCC You won’t be able to sit still in your seats when you hear the familiar music of ABBA! Young and not so young will all enjoy the medley of songs that are truly timeless, and no doubt many of you will remember dancing to and singing along to these tunes. The North Grenville Concert Choir is fine tuning for the performances in mid-May. The inspiration for this musical was actually ‘The Winner Takes it All’ and
the rest, as they say, is history. It is interesting to know that this musical is the eighth longest-running one on Broadway and it was also a successful hit movie. The musical has run in over 40 countries and set a record for premiering the fastest in the most cities; on any given day, there are at least seven productions running somewhere around the world. Here are a few other fun and in-
teresting facts about Mamma Mia: it is one of the few smash hits where all major production roles (producer, writer, director) are filled by women. Both writer and producer were broke when they began creating the show but they are now two of the wealthiest women in the UK. ABBA were initially reluctant and sceptical, but luckily for audiences around the world, they came around. The costumes for the ‘Super Trouper’
portion require over 400m of Lycra; the orders from around the world saved an Italian mill from going out of business. It was the first western musical to be translated into Mandarin in China and it continues to enjoy a huge success there today. It is also Russia’s favourite western musical. The choir has had such a fun time rehearsing these numbers and we are so thankful for our accompanist,

Local student takes part in model parliament at Queen’s Park Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Peyton Horning is extraordinary in many ways. The grade 10 student at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville and Merrickville resident loves politics. She is also a humanitarian. Horning and her sister Taylor were the forces behind the Share Your Hair project back in 2010. They collected 1,000 pounds of hair and fur to help with the clean-up efforts following the BP oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico in April, 2010. The sisters received a Presidential Environmental Youth Award from President Barrack Obama, in recognition of their contribution to the disaster. “It made me realize kids can make a difference and people listen to us,” said Horning. They were also featured on a TVO Kids show titled Taylor & Peyton’s Super Citizen. In 2013, Horning served as a legislative page at Queen’s Park in Toronto for five weeks. “It was a great experience,” said Horning. “I got to go behind the scenes and learn about the legislative process.” The sisters also started the Show We CAN Len A Hand project in 2013, collecting 1,000 pounds of aluminum
soda cans for Habitat for Humanity. Last May, the sisters raised $1,000 for an autism charity. Horning also wrote an autism acceptance related book, about a mouse with autism, which she presented at an autism day celebration at an elementary school in Morrisburg in June, 2015. Horning was appointed to the Minister’s Student Advisory Council (MSAC) and is currently ‘Speaking Up’ with other students across Ontario to help shape the education system and boost student engagement. And yet the list goes on. Horning recently took part in a model parliament exercise at Queen’s Park. “As a model parliamentarian, I delivered speeches and bills,” she said. “I had to memorize all the members of the provincial parliament; all 107 of them.” She found out she had been selected for the model parliament in August of last year and spent her summer memorizing names and faces. To apply for the exercise, which is open to Grade 10 to 12 students across the province, Horning had to write an essay outlining her past political experiences and community involvement. “Taylor took part in the model parliament in its inaugural year (2014) and told me about it,” said Horning. “I knew I wanted to do it when I was
old enough. It was really interesting for her, so I wanted to do it as well.” Approximately 100 students from across Ontario took part in the model parliament. The students were sorted into parties. “I was Conservative,” she said. “I thought it was a good thing; this area is very Conservative. I was essentially (Leeds-Grenville MPP) Steve Clark in the model parliament.” Each party got the opportunity to present a bill they drafted in the chamber. “Our party worked on that from November to February.” At the end of February, the students spent three days at Queen’s Park. “We met the Ontario Premier (Kathleen Wynne),” she said. “She was really nice. It was good for me, as a girl interested in politics, to meet a woman in a position of power. She told us how she got involved in politics.” The bill Horning’s party brought forward was an act to increase the number of Ontarians who have firstaid training. “We felt a lot of younger people don’t know a lot about basic firstaid,” she said. “It’s supposed to be part of the curriculum, but not a lot of schools offer it. Physical education is only mandatory for one year. We
came up with an after-school elective for students to get first-aid training.” She explained first-aid certification is a big issue, especially from the perspective of a Merrickville resident, for whom the nearest hospital is 20 minutes away. “If people in the community are trained in first-aid, they could help save lives. It’s the same with northern communities. It would really benefit a lot of people.” All three parties put forth their respective bills and the students were given the opportunity to debate them. “I got the unique opportunity to speak to the NDP bill,” said Horning. “I got a standing ovation from my party and the opposition party.” The bill she spoke to was to tie minimum wage to a living wage across the province. “As a Conservative, I knew that wouldn’t work,” she explained. “The living wage would be different all across the province.” Different MPPs acted as speaker during the model government, including Clark. “I took away a greater love of politics,” she said. “I got to experience first-hand what it’s actually like to be standing in the chamber.” Although she hasn’t decided what she wants to do later in life, Horning said she knows she will pursue a ca-

Oxford Mills First Rangers troupe plans to go out with a bang Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Saying farewell is better done in style. The First Oxford Mills Rangers troupe is planning an epic send-off for its members this May. The Rangers - Laura Huntley, Renee Therrien, Kristen Wood and Justine Gardner - will be taking a trip to Toronto to commemorate their time spent in Girl Guide’s. While in Toronto, the Rangers will be visiting the Royal Ontario Museum, Casa Loma and the Ripley’s Aquarium, where they will spend the night sleeping in the glass shark tunnel. To help cover the cost of the trip, the Rangers have been busy organizing fundraisers, such as the Oxford Mills Sisterhood of Guiding Spring Fair held on April 9 and collecting pop cans. “The girls have been working really hard to fundraise for the trip,” said Kealey. “This is their last year and I wanted to send them off with a bang. They are really good girls and they do a lot in the community.” Therrien is set to receive the Gold Commissioner’s Award, which is the highest honour given in Guide’s. To get the gold award, Therrien had to complete the bronze and silver levels and a total of 18 challenges, such as leading a camp. She also had to complete several Girl Guide’s cookie campaign challenges and undertake a Ranger’s service project, which was organizing this year’s Valentine’s Day tea. Huntley, Wood and Gardner are all receiving the Silver Commissioner’s Award.
Kealey hopes the Rangers will be able to attend the provincial awards ceremony in Toronto during their trip, which will take place May 27 to 29. “I started out in Sparks,” said Therrien, who has been in Guide’s for 11 years. “My sister was in Sparks and really enjoyed it and I kept going because I enjoyed it so much.” “I got invited to a ‘bring a friend’ night in Brownies,” said Wood, who has been in Guide’s nine years. “I signed up the next week. My parents tried to put me in soccer and I would sit at the side of the field picking dandelions.” “My mom just wanted me out of the house,” said Huntley, who has been in Guide’s for 11 years. “My sister and I both did Brownies and I stayed in Guide’s because I really enjoyed it.” “I was in Guide’s when I was 12 and I decided to join up again because my sister was in it,” said Gardner, who has been in Guide’s for the past two years. “I love guiding because it’s fun and safe,” said Therrien. “It’s a place where we can come and be ourselves;
laugh and joke and not have to worry about being judged. In Guide’s, everyone is accepting and understands people go through different things. We laugh with each other, not at each other.” “Over the years, we’ve formed our own little clique,” said Wood. “Our own creature comfort. Anywhere we go – mica mines, sitting by a campfire – I always felt like I was home because I have my friends with me. I wasn’t scared to do crazy things because they were there doing them with me.” “I like that you can be yourself in Guide’s,” said Gardner. “You’re not judged on your personality. I also like the fun things we do. We get to experience new things together as a group.” “To put it bluntly, if I didn’t have guiding, I wouldn’t have friends,” said Huntley. “You don’t get judged. They’re just people to chill with; everyone is just awesome and sweet.” “I’m taking away a sense of growth,” said Therrien. “In guiding, we’re growing with the same people every year. It creates pressure to continue helping others to grow. When I

“I’ve gained a lot of confidence in myself,” said Huntley. “Being in a group of people who encourage me to be myself.” “For me, these girls have helped me personally a lot,” said Kealey. “Their ability to work so well together. Things pop up all the time and these girls adapt to them and are able to keep going. It’s very inspiring. I’m going to miss them tremendously.”

Mum will be fondly remembered by her only sister, Dulcie, and her family in Winnipeg; and by Barry, the youngest of Mum’s four brothers, and their families in Sussex, England. At this time, we would like to thank all of Mum’s friends at Lanark Lodge. The kind and gentle way you treated Mum (and us!) will never be forgotten. Nor will any of us ever forget that “sweet little voice” whenever Mum heard music. We would also like to thank the girls who run the “Day Program” at the Alzheimer society. The change of pace you provide for folks with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers is amazing. No one can begin to understand just how much you are needed unless they are caring for a loved one at home. It is very often the only break the caregiver gets. Those five hours let you recharge for another week or two of 24/7 care. And, your Mum or Dad is safe and stimulated and happy when you pick them up. You are angels! So, with that in mind, and, in lieu of flowers, donations to the “The Day Program” at the Alzheimer society would be a great way to honour a great lady. We’ll miss you, “Old Dear”. Cremation has taken place and a graveside service, for family, will follow. Mum’s ashes will be mixed with Dad’s in one urn, forever.

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
Paul Deegan Partings come and hearts are broken, Loved ones go with words unspoken, Deep in my heart there’s a memory kept, For a husband and friend I’ll never forget. In quiet thoughts I live again, The days that used to be, How rich in kindness, love and care, How dear you were to me. Some day I know I’ll meet you, Someday I know not when, To hold your hand in a better land, Never to part again. Love you and miss you every day Carol

COUTTS, Bill – In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, who was taken from us April 24, 2011. It’s hard to believe 5 years has passed. We lost a husband, father and grandfather with a heart of gold. How much we miss him can never be told. He shared our troubles And helped us along, If we follow his footsteps, We will never go wrong. What he suffered he told but few, He did not deserve What he went through. Tired and weary he made no fuss But tried so hard to stay with us. We prayed for a miracle all in vain, That God would make you well again. But God knew best, we had to part, It eased your pain but broke our hearts. We cannot bring the old days back When we were all together. The family chain is broken now, But memories live forever. He was a father so very rare, Content in his home and always there, On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests, God bless you, Dad You were one of the best. So if roses grow in heaven God, Please pick a bunch for us. And place them in Dad’s arms, And tell him they’re from us. And when he turns and smiles, Place a kiss upon his cheek, And hold him for awhile. Lynn and Rick Brent and Pat Barry and Donna Ernie and Sue And families
