The seventh annual North Grenville economic development breakfast began with a moment of silence in honour of Wendy Chapman, the long-time executive director of the chamber of commerce who passed away on April 17. The breakfast was held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on April 22 and attended by developers, business owners and municipal staff. “I am totally impressed
with the amount of people here this morning,” said Mayor David Gordon. “We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedules. We want to thank you for your support and investment in the community.” “I am happy to be here today, as we celebrate the many positive things that are happening here in North Grenville,” said Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown.

Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) is pleased to announce the unveiling of its new logo, created by Perth native, David Bromley, coordinator and professor, graphic design, Algonquin College. The logo is one of many in a series of steps the association has recently taken to improve membership services while promoting Lanark County as a tourism destination. LCTA president Bob Mingie, explained that the logo is representative of the different components of the tourism industry in Lanark County, and a good match for LCTA. “The logo has representation from our tourism assets, water activities, wildlife, festivals and events etc...it’s a perfect fit for LCTA, and David really hit the mark with the logo,” Mingie said. Mingie went on to add that the association is working hard to ensure its members realize the value in their membership. “We are really working to cement our identity as a tourism industry stakeholder, with an eye to how we benefit our members,” Mingie stressed. The LCTA recently showcased the offerings in Lanark County at the Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show, an annual event at the Shaw Centre in downtown Ottawa, that sees nearly 20,000 visitors each year. According to staff reports, the LCTA booth was in constant demand throughout the weekend, with thousands of visitors specifically stopping by to learn more about what’s available in Lanark County. Of particular interest at the show were cooking demos performed by two Lanark County chefs, chef Roger Weldon, from Generations Inn, Beckwith and chef Ram Mogandas, from East Meets West, Perth. Also represented at the booth, which featured

The Lanark County Tourism Association has unveiled its new logo, above, designed by Perth native and professor of graphic design at Algonquin College, David Bromley. a Lanark County food and drink theme, were LCTA members, Perth Brewery, Cartwright Springs, Top Shelf Distillery, Hummingbird Chocolate, Balderson Cheese, Classic Theatre Festival, circa 1894 along with materials forwarded by other members. The LCTA board of directors is now focused on preparing for the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), that will be held on May 6 between 9:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the Ginger Café, in Carleton Place. The meeting will go over the accomplishments of the LCTA in the past year, as well as upcoming plans for the future, while also appointing new board members. LCTA members are being asked for their feedback to help identify key priorities for the organization for 2016/17 that will both benefit members and promote tourism in Lanark County. Mingie explained that feedback from the travel show will be useful in choosing key projects the association would like to pursue for 2016. In 2015, LCTA partnered with Lanark County and Ontario Highlands
Tourism Organization (OHTO) to produce a Lanark County cycling map, that is currently in distribution throughout the Ottawa area. “Based on feedback from visitors to this year’s booth at the Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show, people are really interested in day trips to Lanark County, and in particular information about what’s available in the food and microbrewery or alcohol industries,” Mingie said. Mingie went on to add that there are approximately six micro-breweries, a distillery and winery in Lanark County, which could present a real draw to tourists to the region. LCTA is currently recruiting new members; businesses interested in joining LCTA as a member, or board member, should contact Amy Hogue at lanarkcountytourismassociation@ gmail.com. Those interested in attending the AGM should RSVP before May 6. Light refreshments will be served.

Our man in Myanmar: Almonte native seeks answers in Asia Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Your tax dollars are heading to Myanmar, and Almonte native Sam Cooley is heading after it. But he needs your help to finance his reporting in the Asian country just emerging from decades of military rule. This past weekend, Cooley, armed with a journalist visa, travelled from Thailand to Myanmar, formerly Burma. Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion announced $44 million earlier this year in aid and development programs in the country, “which is currently in flux with a brand-new, democratic government,” wrote Cooley in an email from Bangkok, the Thai capital. “Some of the people of Myanmar live in crippling poverty and have absolutely no access to credit, loans or anything we’ve grown accustomed to.” Cooley added that he is in the process of arranging a Crowdfunding campaign. He had been travelling in Asia, when he learned of Dion’s announcement. “I’m going to learn more about this money and see if, and how, it will help people in that developing nation, and whose hands our money will be going
to,” wrote Cooley in a Facebook post for his Crowdfunding campaign through indiegogo.com. He plans to be in the country for 24 days “to learn more about Canada’s role in fostering democracy,” in a country that has only known military rule for more than four decades. He intends to visit the Canadian embassy in the country’s largest city of Yangon, to speak to Ambassador Mark McDowell. “Canada needs a reporter on the ground to observe its impact abroad, and I need help paying to stay in Yangon,” he wrote on his Crowdfunding site, where a video can also be found explaining the reasons behind his trip. “Any journalist will tell you the best stories are found on the ground. So that’s why I’m going to Myanmar.” So far, Cooley estimates he has racked up about $1,656 Canadian just to set foot in Myanmar, “a place that has strict requirements for guesthouses, hotels and hostels that rent out to foreigners. As a result, prices tend to be high to get a room. I’m bound to rack up quite a tab after 25 days, even in a shared dorm in the blistering heat.” He has promised to give updates to potential sponsors so they

Wilderness games with ‘Grey Owl’ at Blueberry Mountain May 8 On Sunday, May 8, we’ll be leading a guided hike up Blueberry Mountain – always a treat for all ages. It’s Mother’s Day, so you can either give mom a break and take the kids for a morning hike or bring mom along for a lovely outing and an opportunity to see the spectacular view from the lookout. The Blueberry Mountain lookout annually attracts more than 1,000 visitors every year. This annual spring nature walk will take a new twist this year. In keeping with Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s “Wild Child Initiative”, Grey Owl will materialize to tell tales from the wild. Short stories picked from his vast wilderness adventures will be sure to capture the interest and imagination of children. Following this ten-minute storytelling session, Grey Owl will lead youngsters in play that is fun while deepening their bond with nature. These activities have no age restrictions and have no “best before or expiry date.” Parents and grandparents are invited to join in. Amazingly,
these activities challenge the skill level of all ages – they cannot be outgrown. Best of all they bond us to nature and to each other. Twenty minutes can only whet the appetite. But whetting the appetite is what the call of nature is all about. It is one of many beginning steps that creates a lifelong love affair with nature. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and the activities will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the tipi. Following these activities we’ll walk to the highest lookout in Lanark County – the always beautiful and inspiring Blueberry Mountain. What better way than this to celebrate Mother’s Day! It’s about a 45-minute hike to the lookout – a gradual slope with only one short steep climb near the top. Following the hike we’ll serve refreshments and hand out certificates to children who have climbed the mountain. Admission is a donation of $10, but children 12 and under are free. The annual Spring Nature Walk on Blueberry Mountain is a fundraising event for the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) whose
mandate is not only to protect these special natural places but also to foster engagement with wilderness. To this end MMLT has launched a “Wild Child Initiative” in an effort to engage youth in nature education activities. In this era of electronic devices and
highly structured, supervised sports, many youth don’t have many opportunities to explore the beauty of the wilderness freely. MMLT believes that this early experience is essential if we want them to grow into adults who will learn to love nature and care for
our environment. Blueberry Mountain is at 502 Hills of Peace Rd, near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. From Hopetown, travel northwest on Highway 511 for 6 km. Turn left on to French Line Road, which becomes Lavant Darling Road, for
a total 13.3 km. Turn right onto Flower Station Road and travel 6.2 km. Turn right onto Hills of Peace Road and travel 1.8 km to end of road. For a map with directions, visit mmlt.ca/events. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust

As winter melts away, Ontario’s deer population becomes extremely active during April and May. With the heightened activity of deer throughout this period comes greater risk of collisions on the road. The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, a home and auto insurance company focused on clients throughout eastern Ontario, have relaunched their ‘Steer Clear of Deer’ campaign to help drivers remember to look out and drive with caution throughout deer season. Last year, Commonwell processed 165 animal impact claims totaling $825,757.96 in injuries and damages. As warmer weather arises, the early growth of vegetation in the ditches along the side of the road means that Ontario’s roadsides become an attractive source of forage for deer. Combined with the beginning of birthing season – resulting in many young and inexperienced animals venturing near the roads – these become major factors in one of the highest risk times of the year. Approxi-
mately 50 per cent of Canada’s deer fatalities caused by vehicle collisions occur in the spring. Tim Shauf, president and CEO of the Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, believes that increased animal activity provides a huge risk to Ontario drivers who are neglecting extra caution on the road. “As we leave winter behind, it’s easy to lose that heightened awareness of potential hazards when driving,� he says. “However with increased animal activity during this time people need to remain vigilant. The kits are our way to help drivers remember to stay alert and clear of deer.� Commonwell’s campaign consists of media outreach for awareness as well as the creation of a free Steer Clear of Deer car kit. The kit includes: deer whistles to help warn off deer (to be mounted on a vehicle), a removable dashboard sticker (to keep deer avoidance on the minds of drivers) and a card with instructions of how to avoid (and if need be) handle deer collisions. A limited number of Steer
Clear of Deer kits are available at Commonwell offices throughout eastern Ontario, including Perth (96 South Street). The Commonwell’s top tips for avoiding deer: • Buckle up and take it slow: Driving within the speed limit gives you more time to react and could give you the time you need to stop and avoid a collision. • Expect company: If you see one deer, look for its buddies, they rarely travel alone. Deer typically travel single file. • Expect the unexpected: Deer are wild animals and can be extremely unpredictable. Don’t assume that they will stay out of your way. Slow down and cautiously drive past. • Honk away: If a deer is getting close to the road, honk your horn a few times to ward it off. This may be just enough noise to keep it from crossing the road. • Stay alert at dawn and dusk: Deer are most active between dusk and dawn. Be extra cautious driving during these times.

Using data to help inform CDSBEO student learning, success and mental health The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held April 19 at the board office in Kemptville. Data is an essential component of teaching and learning. In order to maximize student learning, several sources of data can be obtained in order to identify strengths, needs, patterns, and goals. When key information is presented in a way that is easy to understand, and when it is relevant to a situation, data becomes particularly useful to propel learning and student growth. The MISA (Managing Information for Student Achievement) co-ordinator is responsible for managing the collection, reporting and analysis of student information and MISA projects for the board. The data warehouse, which sources data from various software applications, includes student oriented biographic, demographic, report card, attendance, EQAO and standardized assessment data. The information in the warehouse can be used to create individual student reports, or it can be aggregated to create school and board reports. Rick Soudant, educational data Analysis co-ordinator/MISA lead, presented an overview to the board on how the CDSBEO uses data to improve student success. “Three main tools are used to cre-
ate reports and analyze data,” began Soudant. “Achievement Plus – the data warehouse which holds report card marks, EQAO results, and attendance; StudentsAchieve – a teacher tool for recording and analyzing standardized assessment data; and Microsoft Excel – used for reporting and analyzing data from sources such as Clevr as well as CDSBEO resiliency initiatives.” Profiles can be created using these tools to assess student data historically, or to provide information about a class to a teacher. “We take the various pieces of information and transform the data into evidence,” continued Soudant. Educators can use the information effectively to help students, to inform supports, evaluate strengths and needs, develop instructional strategies, create diagnostic tools, and inform classroom practice. In other scenarios, the reports can help to identify trends and patterns that are emerging. Reports are also used to assist with the tracking and monitoring of initiatives that are be-
ing implemented at a school or at the board level, and to help support overall student success in all areas. Crown Ward project: Connected, committed and contributing Among the highest needs students across Ontario are the Crown Wards and students receiving support from the Children’s Aid Society (CAS). These students often struggle academically, and have a higher dropout rate provincially. A proposal from the CDSBEO outlining a transformative approach to supporting these students was accepted by the Ministry of Education, and funding was provided to support a new initiative. The focus has been to identify key strategies that have the greatest impact on student success, mental health and well-being of these vulnerable learners. The new program, which is called Connected, Committed, and Contributing, was adopted by St. Matthew Catholic Secondary School. The initiative has helped Crown Ward students improve engagement, achievement,
and mental wellness through five key program strategies that have had a tremendous impact on students. Principal Joy Martel and vice-principal Walter MacDonald, provided an overview of the strategies, and the experiences of the students involved in the project, to the board. “We want our students to be connected to their school community, committed to their studies, and contributing to their future,” noted Martel. MacDonald continued, “The three main areas of the program include a focus on mental health and resilience, student progress and growth, and the creation of student portfolios that focus on students setting goals and monitoring their own progress to complete the statements ‘I am,’ ‘I have’ and ‘I can.’” There is significant provincial data for Crown Ward students showing that many youth and children in care are struggling academically. The strategies used were developed based on the examination of student progress and growth through tools such as attendance tracking, behavior tracking, credit achievement, and daily teacher tracking. In addition, student portfolios were created which helped learners to set goals, monitor progress, and review their advancement and accomplishments. “In the school, there was a need to address credit accumulation in a very
unique way,” explained Martel. “We had to create incentive to focus students on how to improve their credit accumulation and move forward toward their credit achievement goals. We were blessed to have a caring lead teacher who took on the role of meeting with the students, creating their portfolio binders, and ensure that the students had a caring adult to help them follow their progress. Each student had one caring adult. Teachers were also allowed to co-teach, co-plan and co-collaborate to help support teaching and learning. Another goal was to connect with our community partners; we’ve created a hub at our school, primarily for mental health community partners. These partners come into our building to plan, goal set, and ensure students are not falling through the cracks. We also have one CAS worker within this partner group who visits our school each week.” MacDonald continued, “Another outcome of the project was that we realized we needed to look at our classroom settings for accommodations for our students, so we audited our classrooms, assessed where we needed to add accommodations, and made the changes. From this we saw dramatic gains for all of our students – not only for our Crown Ward group.” Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

COMMENTARY
Not giving a toss
A
s we acknowledge the many volunteers who have been or will be pitching in as part of community clean-up events in our coverage area, we also make note of the ongoing illegal dumping issues with which some municipalities continue to face. Even with stiffer penalties and the potential for prosecution, there’s still plenty of household garbage ending up on roadsides in both rural and urban areas. Enforcement is still a challenge for many communities that do not have the resources to be proactive; some have difficulty responding to the complaints that are received, so taking additional time to patrol problem areas is not an option. We saw an example last week of public shaming on social media. A Facebook post included photos of dumping in a green-space area and the names of the alleged culprits, which were found in the garbage they left behind. Although public shaming comes at a higher risk in terms of abusing the medium and spreading false information, legitimate
posts backed up by documentation could serve a useful purpose and be a deterrent to those who might consider cleaning up after themselves when they spend time in a park or at some other attraction. Bylaw enforcement officers and police cannot be everywhere al the time, so perhaps the technology-enhanced citizen can play more of an active role in reporting violations and identifying those responsible. We are also cautiously optimistic that the next generation will be more sensitive to the value of being good stewards of the environment and will be less likely to use roadsides as waste disposal sites. There are always going to be exceptions, which is why rules and regulations must be in place when violations do occur. As volunteers are still finding this spring as they take part in community-wide events, some people just don’t care about tossing their coffee cups out the window. If it was their lawn littered with lids, water bottles and chocolate bar wrappers, maybe they’d care a bit more.
Great invention makes its way to Northcote
W
hat excitement! And in the middle of the week at that! The call from Aunt Bertha on the next farm came before we left for school. To even get a phone call that early in the morning was unusual in itself. But to be invited over that evening in the middle of the week was even more unusual. Visiting among neighbours was reserved for Saturday nights! Aunt Bertha had something she wanted us to see, and yes, the whole family was invited to cross the twenty-acre field right after supper. Aunt Bertha said we would see something so new, that it was doubtful anyone in all of Northcote had ever seen one before. The Thoms children who went to school with us wouldn’t give us a hint as to what we were

about to see at their home that night, but you could tell they were pretty excited too. Supper was hurried, the kitchen halfredded up, our faces washed, and off we went on the flat-bottomed wagon across the field to the next farm. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex and their eight children were waiting for us, and Ralph, who seemed to be in charge, led us through the kitchen, the summer kitchen and out to another room, which Aunt Bertha called the shed, although it was in much
better shape than the little building we called a shed back home. There in the middle of the floor was a brand new washing machine! Like us, the Thoms had no electricity, but this certainly looked like it would take more than elbow grease to run it. We circled the machine, and I wondered what was so special about it that Aunt Bertha would bring us all over from the next farm to see it. The tub was a pale green, certainly a step up from the square tin tub and scrub board Mother had to use. But I still couldn’t imagine what was so important about a washing machine that our whole family would be brought over in the middle of the week to look at it. “Stand well back,” Uncle Alex said, and as one we all moved a few feet away. Beside the machine was another apparatus that

Recycle yourself by being a donor DEAR EDITOR, April 18 to 25 was National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week. There are more than 1,600 people waiting for an organ transplant in Ontario, and every three days one of them dies because there is no organ available for transplant.

By discussing your desire to be an organ donor with your family, you will make it easier for your loved ones to consent to organ and tissue donation on your behalf.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hydro rates quadruple since 2003: Reader DEAR EDITOR:
Approximately 25 Ontario Power Generation workers are still employed at the closed coal Lambton station to preserve its idled condition for possible future conversion. How many other closed coal plants employ people to do very little? The Atikokan converted biomass plant operates at less than 10 per cent of capacity and produces power at eight times the cost of some other Ontario biomass plants.
A biomass plant in Thunder Bay runs at two per cent capacity and costs 25 times more to run than other biomass plants. Then there is the outrageous contracts to produce wind power up-to 40 cents a kwh for the next 15 years and 80 cents a kwh for solar power for the next 15 years we are still on the hook for. Auditor general Bonnie Lysyk’s annual report said consumers are paying $9.2 billion more for 20-year wind and so-
lar power contracts signed by the Liberals. Then there is our new hydroelectric generating station in Niagara Falls running at partial capacity. The provincial Liberals now have slightly lowered the price we are paying for new solar and wind power being produced. You wonder why our hydro rates at peak time has quadrupled since 2003 when we paid 4.3 cents all day long? Ross Ayotte Smiths Falls
Minister provides update on Bill 100 DEAR EDITOR:
The following is an open letter to all Ontarians regarding Bill 100, the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act. I wanted to take a moment to update you on Bill 100, the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act. Bill 100 has been referred to the standing committee on the Legislative Assembly, and we will be holding public hearings on the bill. The Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act is an opportunity to help protect and improve thousands of kilometres of the province’s trails network while encouraging its expansion. As regular readers of this paper will know, there has been some discussion over what a trail

organ donation is a good thing yet only 29 per cent are registered as donors, which is below the national and world average. Perth is increasing their percentage and is now up to 41 per cent. This is good but we can do much better. Everyone is a potential organ and tissue donor, regardless of age, sexual orientation or

As currently drafted, Bill 100 would provide an additional way for landowner and trail organizations to enter into land-use agreements. When our government was developing the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, our ministry held consultations with more than 250 organizations, including municipalities, Aboriginal groups, trail organizations, landowners and not-for-profit organizations. Now we would like to touch base again. If you would like to express interest in potentially being a presenter, I encourage you to put your name forward,
and contact Trevor Day, the legislative clerk responsible the standing committee on the Legislative Assembly (416325-3509, tday@ola.org). Presentations can be delivered in person, or by phone. The deadline to submit your name is 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27. The committee also accepts written submissions. All written submissions can be sent to Trevor Day; be sure to note it is a written submission on Bill 100.

pieces of clothes began tumbling, suds rose from the depths and Aunt Bertha stood back, crossed her arms over the chest and said, “Now, isn’t that something?” With laundry for eight Thom children, there would be no more scrub board! The magic wasn’t to end there. Another button was pushed, the

Jessie’s Song continues Lanark County tour after powerful Perth opening Jessie’s Song, a powerful work about the lives of Lanark County youth, played to an overflow audience of adults and teenagers at YAK Youth Services in Perth last Friday night (April 22), inspiring an extended audience discussion after the show. The touring show, which has also played in Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, closes Thursday (April 28) at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St. All performances of this play, which deals with the aftereffects of suicide on a community, begin at 7 p.m., and are free and open to members of the public (though donations will be gratefully accepted.) Produced by Burning Passions Theatre, Jessie’s Song is always followed by a talkback session, allowing audience members to discuss issues raised by the play with cast members Ruby Davidson, Kaija Evangelho, Tara Kreissler, and Garrett Pipher, along with social support worker Gillian Scott and technical assistant Vincent Bracegirdle. Cast members agree that at its heart, Jessie’s Song is really about learning to pay attention to and act on the significant challenges that afflict young people in a rural setting, many of which can lead to depression and despair. From self-harm and sexual assault to poverty and concern about being judged or not accepted for who they are, all are major concerns for which young people often feel there are not enough resources to help them cope. “If you have a kid, you really need to

Kaija Evangelho plays a student confronting a bully, played by Tara Kreissler, in scenes from Jessie’s Song, a touring play in Lanark County that explores the after-effects of suicide on a community, with a final show at the Almonte Old Town Hall on Thursday, April 28 at 7 p.m. check in on them and see how they’re doing,” says Kreissler. Pipher agrees, finding that all too often, the standard “how was your day at school?” question, often met with a simple reply, “fine”, is the extent of much parental-teenager interaction. Davidson, who plays the mother of
Jessie, says, “A lot of parents want to pretend their kid isn’t struggling as much as they are. Some parents may have gone through stuff when they were teenagers, and they know what’s going on, but they are scared to face it because they’re worried they may not have been a good enough parent.”
Evangelho concurs, and says, “A lot of parents think their child is number one, that they’re the best, but do they really know their child at the same level that their kid’s friends know them? It’s so important to have an honest, strong connection with your kids. But sometimes, youth helping youth makes a big difference, because
there’s this generational gap. Sometimes you don’t want to tell an adult things you would tell your friend.” Gillian Scott, who facilitates the show’s talkback sessions, believes that “theatre is very different than talking about an issue, and when you give youth a platform like this, it’s so expressive and creative. There is some healing that can be done for the actors as well as the audience, in terms of not feeling all alone when you are sharing this very authentic space.” Members of the troupe say that all too often, the problems they face are unfairly tagged as “youth issues” when in fact they may well be parent issues, school issues, and societal issues. “We tend to dump all of our problems on young people, because it’s so easy to avoid our responsibility when we see it as a so-called youth problem,” says Laurel Smith, who directed and dramaturged the show. “That’s why Jessie’s Song is a show for everyone. It’s not to judge anybody, but rather to open the door to the kind of truthful dialogue we really need to improve our communities.” The show is supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Perth & District Community Foundation, YAK Youth Services, Kiwanis Club of Perthon-Tay, Lioness Club of Perth, First Baptist Church, Unifor, Basilian Human Development Fund and the Crabtree Foundation.

Heralding the warmth of spring, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, directed by Robert Dueck, is presenting an evening of choral music that moves, lulls and soothes. Invited to join them for select numbers are the Carleton Place Offbeats, a vocal jazz ensemble. The walls at St. Paul’s Anglican Church will echo with blended soprano and alto renditions of a variety of music chosen to please the most astute audience. Opening with A Garden of Music, the first set welcomes the coming of spring, a much longed for event in the Ottawa Valley. William Wordsworth never experienced a Canadian winter but he knew, as we do, the joy of seeing crowds of daffodils announcing warm days ahead. His famous poem has been translated to song. Reminiscent of madrigal style, Daffodils uses “fa la la” passages to enhance the sweet, lyrical feeling. “I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats o’er vales and hills, when all at once I saw a crowd of golden daffodils...” Bird feeders are alive with our feathered friends returning and the chorus celebrates their arrival in We Celebrate the Birth of Spring and Sing Joyous Bird, bright and sprightly numbers. Travel is now on the minds of many as the ice and snow disappears and the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will take the audience on an excursion across Canada from the Maritimes to the west coast with selections by Canadian composers that highlight our waterways. All the Little Rivers of Canada, written by Vancouver composer Larry Nickel is upbeat and fun and will have the audience moving with the beat. The lure of the Atlantic Ocean is often captured in poetry and music as featured in the Cape Breton Lullaby and Away from the Roll of the Sea – both crowd pleasers.

RBC Bluesfest organizers announced additions on April 6 to an already star-studded line-up, including: Carleton Place’s own Jordan McIntosh, Juno Awardwinning Canadian rapper Belly, Death From Above 1979, Bahari, Lera Lynn, JD McPherson, Jeff Lang, Tor Miller, Steve Hill, Kirby Sewell Band, Colin Linden, Garrett Klahn, and Jack Broadbent. “This offers added value for current full-festival pass holders and for fans that already have tickets for the days these acts will perform,” says the festival’s executive director Mark Monahan. McIntosh, who recently released his debut album, Steal Your Heart, on April 15, which quickly climbed the Canadian country music charts on iTunes. He earned the 2014 Country Music Association of Ontario award for Rising Star and was also a finalist in the Emerging Artist Showcase at the Boots and Hearts Music Festival. Prior to the release of his first full album, McIntosh became known for his singles Walk Away, Let Me Love You, Grew Up in a Country Song, That Girl and Story of My Life (featuring George Canyon). Singles from his new album, All About the Girl and Steal Your Heart, can be heard on country radio stations.

Blues on the Rideau music series wraps up season May 13 The popular dinner show and fundraiser Blues on the Rideau series, held at Wesport’s The Cove Inn, will wrap up for another season Friday, May 13. The Harrison Kennedy Band from Hamilton will close out the 11th edition of the series, which runs from September through May at the inn. Proceeds from that night’s concert will benefit Habitat for Humanity. The premise for fundraiser is simple: to feature some of the best blues bands in North America, while raising monies to support different local charities. This year’s series has benefitted Westport in Bloom, the Rideau District Museum, Friends of Foley Mountain, Arts by the Lake Westport and 4-H Canada, to name a few. The talents of Montreal’s Ria Reece Band most recently entertained on The Cove stage April 22. Other performers this year have included the Angel Forrest Band, Rick Fines and
Suzie Vinnick and David Vest & The Willing Victims. Kennedy, called one of the best soul blues singers Canada has ever produced, dabbles in the realms of funk, jazz, country and folk as well. He began his career in the late 1960s when he was chosen by famous Motown producers, Holland/Dozier/ Holland to be lead singer of Detroit supergroup, Chairmen of the Board. He toured with the band, playing the same stage as BB King, James Brown, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder. After the band broke up, Kennedy returned to Hamilton, playing music on the side for a few decades, before returning to it full-time in the early 2000s. Since then, he’s released seven albums, with four garnering Juno nominations. He’s been nominated for an American Blues Award and racked up 15 nominations for Maple Blues Awards, as well as winning nine Hamilton Music Awards.

Cold water a very real danger when out on the boat this spring It’s finally spring. The days are getting longer, the air carries a sweet fragrance and the ice has receded from the lakes. It’s a time when millions of Canadians finally get back their favourite pastime and head out on the water in their boats. The Canadian Safe Boating Council wants to remind Canadians to take a few extra precautions to guard against the dangers of a fall into cold water. Many people think that a fall into the water is no big deal. They can climb back onto the dock or swim the short distance to shore, or they can right their overturned boat and get back in. If the boat can’t be righted, they can put on their lifejacket and hold onto the boat until help arrives. The reality is when dealing with cold water those goals often can’t be reached. It’s hard to imagine what happens should you unexpectedly find yourself in cold water. Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, Professor of Thermophysiology at the University of Manitoba,
has experienced first-hand the effects of cold water. He developed what he calls the 1-10-1 Principle to help you understand how your body will react. You will have One minute to get your breathing under control, as there is an initial gasp response followed by extreme hyperventilation. Ten minutes of meaningful movement before the muscles in your extremities lose their effectiveness, and up to one hour before you lose consciousness due to hypothermia. If you’re not wearing a lifejacket and survive the initial shock and gasp, you have very little time before their arms and legs begin to stop functioning, preventing you from staying afloat. Studies have shown that our bodies lose heat approximately 25 times faster in water than in air of the same temperature. If you are wearing thermal protection such as a neoprene wetsuit, paddling dry suit or a floater coat/suit, it will help keep you warmer for a greater length of time. Should your boat capsize
and you find yourself in the water, try to reduce the rate of heat loss by climbing onto the overturned hull or any other floating object such as a cooler. If none are immediately available, remain as motionless as possible to allow your skin to warm a thin layer of water around your body. Thrashing in the water not only disturbs this layer of warmer water but also accelerates heat loss. If you are alone, tuck your legs and fold your arms across your chest in the HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Position) to protect your vital organs. If you are with others, huddle together interlacing your arms and legs and pressing your torsos together to preserve body heat. One of the big questions is whether to stay with the boat or swim to shore. You should only consider swimming for shore if you are wearing a lifejacket, your chances for rescue are very slim and the distance to shore is manageable. Be aware that the effort involved in swimming will in-

Be on the look out for food allergens at school For children in school, parents and caregivers should remember the importance of allergy awareness when packing school lunches. Serious allergic reactions to food often happen without warning and can quickly become life threatening. As many as 1.2 million Canadians have food allergies. Some studies suggest this number may be increasing, especially among children. Up to six per cent of children currently have food allergies. Symptoms of allergic reactions can
range from mild skin irritations and hives to serious breathing difficulties and loss of consciousness. Peanuts, tree nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts), sesame seeds, soy, seafood, wheat, eggs, milk, mustard and sulphites are the most common food ingredients associated with severe allergic or adverse reactions in Canada. There is no cure for food allergies. Avoiding an allergen is the only effective
way to prevent a reaction. Because allergic reactions can be very serious, many schools have policies that forbid students from bringing certain items in their lunches. It is very important that you learn about and follow your child’s school’s allergen policy closely, even if your child doesn’t have allergies. Here are some important steps you should take: • Ensure that if your child has been prescribed an adrenaline auto-injector, such as an EpiPen, he or she knows how to use it
and carries it at all times. • Teach your child to read labels and ask questions before eating foods if he or she is prone to severe allergic reactions. • Make sure the school is aware that your child is allergic to a certain food. Work with your child’s teacher and the school’s staff to come up with a strategy to keep your child safe. • Remind your child that it is not safe to trade or share food. • Consider alternative sandwich-filling ingredients if the school policy restricts
peanuts. You can find healthy alternatives to peanut butter at your local grocery store. • Always read the labels on the food you pack in your child’s lunch. Don’t pack any food with ingredients that are not allowed at your child’s school. Note that manufacturers sometimes change ingredients. • Look for warning statements on the label such as “May Contain...” Even trace amounts can cause a severe allergic reaction.

OPP warns of romance scams Was it the deal of the century or a scam? Romance scams cause victims severe financial hardship and personal embarrassment, which, despite massive losses, inhibits their decision to report the crime. Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Anti-Rackets Branch say criminals use the Romance Scam to seek potential victims online, generally single or recently unattached people. Usually this form of mass marketing fraud occurs through singles and dating-related ‘meet’ websites, social media platforms, or e-mail blasts. In some cases, prolonged interaction with individuals has cost some victims tens of thousands of dollars before the ‘relationship’ ends, usually without ever meeting in person. Among the most vulnerable are seniors. “One of the most devastating fraud schemes in Canada is perpetrated through the romance scam. It is an emotional roller coaster for victims who deal with emotional and financial losses associated with this deception,” stated A/Deputy Commissioner Fred Bertucca, OPP Investigations and Organized Crime Command. In 2015, the Romance Scam generated 298 complaints and claimed 216 victims in Ontario who lost $7.9 million. Police admit 95 per cent of the crimes go unreported. As part of the annual Fraud Prevention Month awareness campaign, the OPP and its partners at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre have some tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of the Romance Scam. • Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when you are chatting online. Educate yourself. Check the person’s name, the company name, and the addresses used. • Ask yourself – ‘Would someone I have never met really declare their
love for me after only a few letters or emails?’ If the answer is no, report it to police. • Never send money, or give personal credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust. A request to send money to a foreign country to someone you have never personally met should be a red flag. • Check website addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake websites with addresses that are very similar to legitimate dating websites. “Despite the cruelties involved and the emotional trauma sustained, it’s still important for victims of the romance scam to report the crime. All users of computers and the online world should educate themselves and use best practices to ensure their personal and financial security,” said Detective Insp. Mike Bickerton, Director – OPP Anti-Rackets Branch. If you or someone you know suspect they’ve been a victim of the Romance Scam, contact your local police service. You can also file a complaint through the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS), or online at https://www. tipsubmit.com/start.htm. During the month of March, the OPP and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre partners – the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Competition Bureau of Canada – are joining police services across the country to help prevent all Canadians from becoming victims of fraud. The OPP is posting tips and links to various resources online to help the public recognize, reject and report fraud on social media by using the hashtags #FPM2016 #DontBeAVictim and #OPPtips. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police
Thousands of Canadians unknowingly purchase counterfeit products every single year, putting them at risk of potentially serious injuries, illnesses or even death. March is International Fraud Prevention Month and CSA Group, a leader in public safety, testing and certification, wants to offer Canadians tips and tools to spot counterfeit goods and help protect themselves from becoming fraud victims. Counterfeit products are often associated with consumer goods like watches and bags, but fake products have been found in every industry. In the US and Europe in 2015 counterfeit goods worth more than $2 billion (US) were seized. With the growth of online sales, new avenues have become
available for counterfeiters. As counterfeiters become more tech-savvy, it is becoming harder to track them down. “We are seeing counterfeit products in everything from prescription pill bottles to construction materials and car parts and the trend is growing,” says Terry Hunter, manager of anticounterfeiting at CSA Group. “Since fakes are not certified by an accredited organization, they may be missing safety features, use toxic or inappropriate materials, and can cause serious risk to the user. It’s important for consumers to be aware and take the necessary steps to spot counterfeit goods.” CSA Group offers the following tips to keep you safe from fakes: • It’s a steal: Best deal ever?

again. If the price seems too good to be true, it likely is. • See a mark?: Avoid products, especially electrical goods, if they don’t have a label from a recognized certification organization, such as CSA Group. • Know your brand: Brand-name companies want consumers to know whose product they’re buying. • Feel the weight: Check the “look and feel” of goods. Fake products are often too light and flimsy. • Shop smart: When in doubt, buy products from reputable, well-known stores or established online retailers that offer clear return policies.

RCMP: Fraudsters using threat of kidnapping a victim’s child in new scam Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Greater Toronto Area Financial Crime Unit would like to warn the public of an ongoing scam by imposters claiming to be Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) employees. [Formerly known as Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)]. The following is a realistic portrayal of an IRCC scam that has been seen by RCMP investigators. This approach is one of many used by fraudsters. Please note that not every call is as dark and sinister as this one. Imagine a friend or relative has recently moved to Canada to seek refuge from a war torn country. The victim’s name is “Taunya” she is a widow, and lives with her five-year-old daughter in Ottawa, Ontario. Taunya works full time to support herself and her daughter. She also studies at a local community college. Just as she is about to climb into bed after working all night at her job, the phone rings...a call from the 647 (GTA) area code: IRCC Imposter: Hello this is Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada calling, I have bad news for you.
Taunya: Sorry? Who is this? IRCC Imposter: This is Roger_______ (an Anglophone surname, which is confusing as it is contrasted by a strong ethnic accent) from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Your status has changed and you must pay additional fees. Taunya: I don’t understand. IRCC Imposter: Please confirm your full name and address as well as those who live with you? Taunya: I don’t understand. I live alone with my five-year-old daughter. I live at 105 Main Street. IRCC Imposter: Please provide your passport number? Taunya: CDN2015 IRCC Imposter: What do you do for a living? Taunya: I work full-time and study part-time. IRCC Imposter: You changed your status without advising Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada and as a result you must pay additional fees. You owe $12,000. Taunya: I don’t know how that could have happened. I can’t afford that.

What makes this worst is that many victims never report these incidents to the police. If you, a friend or family member has either received a call from a fraudster, or has lost money through this type of call, please report it. Lastly, if you are reading this, please do your part in sharing this message with everyone and help us to educate new Canadians against this type of fraud. This is a fraud similar to the CRA scam. Both extort money from their victims through a number of different threats. Both of these frauds are being perpetrated coast to coast, and have impacted both male and female victims from many different age groups and cultural backgrounds. When you receive a suspect phone call from someone purporting to be the IRCC, CRA or other government agency please take the following steps: 1) If you have call display on your phone, note the number where the call came from. 2) Hang up. 3) Look up the “real” number for the agency in question.

Report any fraud attempt or if you are a victim of fraud to your local police service as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC). You have two ways to make a report to the CAFC; either by phone at 1-888-495-8501 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time) or through their online reporting tool at http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/reportincidentsignalerincident/index-eng.htm Starting Jan. 11, we will be posting five questions (one question per day), related to this media advisory, on our @ RCMPONT Twitter account and on our Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Ontario Facebook page, www.facebook. com/rcmp.ontario. Test your skills, and respond with the correct answer. At the end of each day we will post the right answer. Please join in the discussion and help to raise awareness of this type of fraud.

IRCC Imposter: (irritated by the amount of time that he has spent to get his point across, is now yelling into the phone) YOU WILL BE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE TODAY AND DEPORTED AND SEPARATED FROM YOUR CHILD, DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN? Taunya: Of course not! No! IRCC Imposter: Good, then you will go to the nearest Western Union or MoneyGram and you will follow my directions. Taunya: Does not make any sense! I am going to record this and call the police. IRCC Imposter: (yelling) DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR DAUGHTER IS NOW? Taunya: Pardon me? Is that a threat? IRCC Imposter: No, but your daughter will be kidnapped today (hangs up). Although Taunya was extremely disturbed by the phone call, she saw through the imposter’s ruse. And like many other fraudsters, the moment he was exposed, he ran. Fortunately, Taunya saw this for what it was...a scam. Unfortunately many new hard working Canadians are fooled and have lost money.

Some Major League Baseball announcers in a league of their own If you are a baseball fan the best way to enjoy a game is to watch it in person. Television isn’t a bad alternative, especially with all the replays. It is radio that’s been the mainstay for Major League Baseball (MLB) fans for nearly a century however. Despite the wide array of games available on television many diehard fans will tell you they like radio games. I’m not sure I prefer radio games, but I certainly enjoy them. I also have satellite radio in the car which means I can follow my favourite teams whenever they are playing, wherever I am. Admittedly my wife has a slightly different view! It takes a particular talent to make any radio sports broadcast interesting. This is where the role of the so-called “colour person” (today they could be male or female) assumes added importance. They’re tasked with providing additional information for fans including statistics, player updates, team information, trivia and colour stories (hence the nickname). They augment the play-by-play people. Not every baseball radio announcer has someone to back them up. For example, Los Angeles Dodgers’ outstanding broadcaster Vin Scully prefers to work alone. Mind you, after 67 seasons covering games for the same team (1950 to present) Scully has more than enough stories to hold fans’ attention. Now 88, he’ll retire at the end of the 2016 campaign. Scully has been broadcasting games for the Dodgers since their Brooklyn, NY days. His stint in Dodgers’ broadcast booth is the longest for any broadcaster in professional sports history! For my money the best baseball broadcasts are those where the play-by-play announcer is

supplemented by a knowledgeable colour person. There are a number of good examples, past and present. Fans tend to prefer those individuals who broadcast games for their team of choice. That is only natural because you hear them so often. But with the advent of satellite radio and easy access to MLB Internet streaming, today’s baseball fan can subscribe to as many games as they wish on radio, television or both. With each team playing 162 games every season the choice is endless. Streaming televised games via the world-wide web is relatively inexpensive and radio packages (on the net or via satellite radio) are cheaper still, especially if you only want to follow one team. Still, it is the quality of the broadcast that keeps fans coming back. The competence and knowledge of the on-air people is what makes or breaks any sports broadcast. This is a subject that’s been on my mind for a while now. It is timely because we are about to head into the second month of the 2016 MLB campaign and some league and divisional races are already beginning to shape up. Classic voice

I don’t take anything away from Tigers’ current broadcast crew of play-by-play man Dan Dickerson and colour man Jim Price (a former Detroit catcher). I always enjoy listening to them. It was Dickerson who said it best in the wake of Carey’s recent passing. He told the Detroit Free Press, “Ernie and Paul were such a great team. They called a really good game. “I grew up listening to those guys. He (Carey) had a powerful voice that kind of sucked you into the radio.” Scully is undoubtedly one of the greatest radio broadcasters in baseball history. He, along with San Francisco Giants’ play-by-play man Jon Miller are current baseball broadcast legends. One of my favourite play-by-play announcers is former Montreal Expos’ radio voice Dave Van Horne. He called Expos’ games from the team’s inception in 1969 until 2001, a period of 32 years. When the fast fading team failed to seal a radio deal for the 2001 campaign, Van Horne left to take on the same role with the Florida Marlins. At age 76 he continues to be the lead See REFLECTIONS page 30

The Blue Jays “Canada’s team” are off to a slow start. But that was the case last season too and they ended up winning the American League East and falling just short of a third trip to the World Series. What prompted me to write this now, however, was the recent death of a past radio colour man for my favourite team, the Detroit Tigers. Unless you listened to Tigers’ broadcasts in the 1970s and `80s you probably haven’t heard of Paul Carey. Carey teamed with the late Ernie Harwell who, in my opinion, was the greatest baseball play-by-play person ever. Carey passed away April 12 as a result of pulmonary and heart problems in Rochester, Michigan (a Detroit suburb). He was 88. From 1973-1991 he and Harwell comprised the best baseball broadcast team I have heard in a lifetime of following the game. They were behind the microphones during Tigers’ last World Series championship season in 1984. In a statement Detroit management said Carey was “the consummate professional who had one of the most distinctive and classic broadcast voices.”

radio announcer for the now Miami Marlins. For 14 years Van Horne was teamed with the late Duke Snider, a Hall of Fame player with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. Van Horne’s famous home run cry “up, up and away” is one of his trademarks. Snider’s knowledge of the game and his incredibly interesting array of baseball stories made him second to none in terms of colour broadcasters. The word “colourful” only begins to describe Snider, someone I was fortunate enough to meet in person. One story of his that stands out in my mind came from 1963 when, in the twilight of his career, Snider played one season for the New York Mets. During an Expos’ game Snider told his radio audience (including me) what it was like to play at Colt Stadium in Houston. The facility served as the temporary home of the former Houston Colt 45s (now Houston Astros) from 1962-1964. Colt Stadium was only used for three seasons. It was demolished in the 1970s when the ball club moved into the Astrodome. Hungry mosquitoes Houston is an extremely hot, humid place which is exactly what led to construction of the Astrodome, the first domed sports stadium in the world. Snider recalled playing in the outfield at stifling hot Colt Stadium. “The perspiration poured off you even when you weren’t moving. It was so hot and humid – and it was a night game! The mosquitoes were so big I thought they’d pick me up and carry me away.” Stories like that put Snider in an elite class among baseball announcers. For his part Tigers’ long-time playby-play man Harwell developed his own unique style. When a foul ball was hit at old Tiger Stadium he would say something like, “And that ball was caught by a woman from Hamtramck.” Or perhaps, “A man from Southfield has snagged a souvenir.” Both places are Detroit suburbs.
Asked how he knew who caught foul balls Ernie laughed and said, “I don’t. But I think it’s more fun to say that instead of ‘Trammell fouls one off’ or something dull.” People were addicted to his broadcasts. Many wore headsets at games to hear Harwell’s version of a game they were watching in person. It led to a special relationship with listeners. I remember a game when a female Tigers’ fan, worried she might have left the stove on at home, called a neighbour to ask her to check. In turn the neighbour called Tigers’ flagship station, WJR Detroit, with a message which Harwell happily relayed. “Mrs. Smith, your neighbour Mrs. Jones just called. Your stove is off. Everything’s OK. Enjoy the rest of the game!” Harwell, who passed away in 2010 at age 92 after 55 years broadcasting baseball games (42 with the Tigers), also authored a 1985 autobiography entitled Tune to Baseball. It’s an excellent read. I also want to credit Blue Jays’ long-time play-by-play team of Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth. They were among the best in the MLB. Howarth, who has been with the Jays since 1981, continues to call radio games for the club. Sadly Cheek, who announced every Jays’ game from the club’s inception in 1977 until his retirement in 2004, passed away from brain cancer in 2005 at age 66. Cheek, along with Harwell, Van Horne, Scully and Miller, are among a select number of radio broadcasters to win the prestigious Ford C. Frick Award, named for the former Baseball Commissioner. The honour is presented annually by the National Baseball Hall of Fame (in Cooperstown, New York). It goes to a broadcaster for “major contributions to baseball.” I’m fortunate to have heard all of those I have mentioned. Each has (or had) their own unique style. Together they represent the very best of MLB broadcasting. Their contributions to the grand game of baseball can’t possibly be discounted. Without people like them the sport would not be as popular and fans would be badly shortchanged.

Conservative Party leader Rona Ambrose stops by Grahame’s Bakery
Party leader enjoys stopover at Grahame’s Bakery Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Kemptville rolled out the welcome mat for Interim federal Conservative Party leader Rona Ambrose and her husband J.P. Veitch on April 22. The couple made a stop at Grahame’s Bakery before heading out to the Port of Johnstown and then off to Prescott to plant a tree for Earth Day. Ambrose took a tour of the bakery and pulled some bread out of the bakery’s famous wood fired oven, before talking shop with bakery owner Rick Grahame, who is upset about the loss of tax cuts for small businesses. Ambrose was joined by Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown and Edwardsburgh-Cardinal Mayor Pat Sayeau. Brown explained the story of how he first met the Grahame family to Ambrose. In 1984, Ken Grahame took the Pierre Trudeau government to task about the implementation of the metric
system, which would have destroyed his business. Ambrose commented on the tantalizing smell of the bakery and bought some butter tarts and scones. “If this is an example of Kemptville, then it’s a really wonderful place,” said Ambrose. When asked about Tom Mulcair stepping down as NDP leader, Ambrose commented. “I think we have yet to see if he actually is removed (as leader). Their party has been pulled in different directions and I think it’s a dangerous thing for them. Our party is very united.” The Conservative Party is moving forward with an exciting leadership race, she explained. “The caucus is really happy and united,” said Ambrose. The visit was unexpected. “We only found out they were coming last night,” explained Grahame. “We’ve been good friends with Gord and the party itself for a long time,” said bakery owner Debbie Wilson (Grahame). “We have heavy ties (with the party).” She explained she met Ambrose for the first time five years ago when she coached her team in the political hockey showdown. “I knew when I met her that she was going to be strong,” said Wilson.

Building permits and consultants hot topics at media briefing Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The following is a list of briefs from the media briefing held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on April 19 and attended by CAO Brian Carre and Mayor David Gordon. Changes to building permit fees discussed at length “Let’s make it clear; it’s not going up 20 per cent,” said CAO Brian Carre, referring to the building permit fees. He explained during the budget process, staff looked at the building program and determined the building permit fees needed revision. “We asked staff to look into that program and see if we met the test of the act, which is that it’s a self-sufficient program,” said Carre. “The numbers that were brought were an initial cut. There are other variables that come into play and I’ll give you a example, there is no doubt that North Grenville
is one of many municipalities that is adjacent to the City of Ottawa. That are lucky enough to be experiencing growth and we certainly don’t want to diminish the opportunity for us to absorb that growth. So that will be some of the discussions we’ll be having internally. So the initial exercise was to do a review and look at the first test, which is that it be selfsufficient. But there are other parameters we need to assess and we’ll be coming back with some additional information and revised work in the future. I thought the presentations and delegation we had last night were very, very helpful. And I think our staff did good job of expressing to them and thanking them for their ideas.” He said the public meeting was a good testament to how the process should work. “When we have public meetings, whether it’s for building permit fees or planning applications, when people come, we expect our staff to be there to listen,” said Carre. “And it’s
not all going to be positive and we know that. We take that information, and sometimes the information that’s not positive is something we don’t have control over - it’s legislative but there are things we heard last yesterday that certainly we can implement” He said there will be no increase in building permit fees at this point in time. “We’ve certainly committed to meet with the (North Grenville) home builders’ association,” said Carre. “We will also have another public meeting, because if we arrive at different numbers, and I can tell you we probably will, we will bring those back.” “That meeting last night was for information only,” said Mayor David Gordon. “We’re in the development business, this municipality,” said Carre. “We do a lot of it, as do our adjoining municipalities around the City of Ottawa. We’re certainly not going to price ourselves out of that

market.” Carre said there is a likelihood that there will be an increase in building permit fees. “Will that be a 20 per cent increase?” said Carre. “Likely not.” External consultation to determine potential uses of heritage buildings questioned A question was posed regarding the reasoning behind bringing in a consultant to determine potential uses of the court house in Kemptville and former Oxford-On-Rideau Township Hall, rather than use existing staff. “The reason for doing that, administration felt that we needed someone impartial because those buildings mean quite a bit to this community, but not necessarily the same thing,” said Carre. “And I can speak for myself, I’ve been in this organization for four years, so has our director of parks, recreation and culture. So these buildings have been here for over 100

Building department has been drawing on reserves to cover costs sporadically A question was posed regarding how long the building department has been drawing on its reserve to help cover costs. “It’s sporadic,” said Carre. “If it’s a good year, they’re not. If, for whatever reason, build-
ing starts are low and they need to draw some funds from the reserve - the reserve was created just for that. So when times are good, dollars are put into the reserve, and if there’s a low housing starts year, then they draw on it. It’s sporadic. It’s not regular.” Number of staff salaries included in building department budget explained “We have our building planning clerk, a portion of his salary is included in that,” said Carre. “We have two building inspectors. We have one building official. The last three I mentioned, all of their salaries are included in the program. We have a contract ICI inspector for certain mechanical components of a building that we bring in on an as need basis. We also have a portion of the director’s salary in the program, as well. And a portion of one planner’s salary in the program. Plus equipment and training.”

years, so perhaps a third party, unbiased individual can come in and really garner as much of the information as possible from the people who are quite attached to the buildings from a heritage perspective and give us food for thought as to how we need to proceed. What brought us here is essentially the financials. I’ll be very clear, there is more costs than there is revenue with those buildings. And that’s the taxpayers dollar. Our role is to manage our organization in the best interest of the taxpayers. I don’t think it’s in the best interest of taxpayers that we have assets that lose money.”

Phase one of Kemptville Landing development breaks ground on April 21 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Shovels are in the ground. Phase one of the Kemptville Landing development broke ground on April 21. The 93 unit development, located off Reuben Crescent in downtown Kemptville, has been eight years in the making. “When I first moved to Kemptville, I told one of my clients I was going to be the first to build a high-rise in Kemptville,” said Gilles Brisebois, President, CEO and founder of LA Group, which is constructing Kemptville Landing. “This is a personal milestone for me.” He explained this is the first time LA Group has constructed a concrete building. “This is going to be a landmark,” said Brisebois. “It’s going to last hundreds of years.” The building itself has a heritage flare, to tie in with the historical feel of downtown Kemptville. Brisebois said the reason he chose downtown Kemptville for this significant project is
because he grew up in Orleans and saw firsthand what happens when highway construction surpasses the downtown core. “When you look at Orleans now, there is no heart,” said Brisebois. “I don’t want that to happen here. I don’t think this will change everything – revitalize the downtown – but it will be a great start.” Kemptville Landing will also create jobs. Brisebois said LA Group will use local contractors for construction wherever possible, although the building is commercial and requires specialized trades to complete. “We will aim for local contractors,” said Brisebois. “They will get the first kick at the can.” The drawings for the development have just been finalized, he explained, and tenders will be going out in the next month or so. “Phase one is 70 per cent sold,” said Grace Geertsema, sales consultant for Kemptville Landing. “There are 43 units in phase one.” The structure will be the first
concrete structure of its kind in Kemptville, spanning seven stories high. “It’s expected to take 12 to 14 months to complete,” said Geertsema. She explained the housing development will bring sustainability to Old Town Kemptville by bringing foot traffic. “There are 93 condos, which means 180 people being able to walk on Prescott Street, enjoy the park and go for coffee downtown,” said Brisebois. He said Kemptville Landing wouldn’t have been possible without the work of his LA Group team. “The team I have at LA Group is next to none,” said Brisebois. “I can’t thank them enough.” “I have always been a proponent of this project,” said Mayor David Gordon. “This is what the town needs. It’s a wonderful addition. I am looking forward to seeing the site plan, so the permits can start rolling.” “This is a wonderful venture and asset to the community,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin.

Countdown is on for first ever Doors Open North Grenville event on Sept. 24 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The countdown is on. “It’s 155 days until the event,” said Lynne CliffordWard, Doors Open coordinator. “The countdown is really on and we have accomplished so much since our first meeting in December.” A Doors Open meeting was held at the North Grenville Public Library on April 21 to update participants on the progress made to date. “We really want people talking about this - getting excited,” said Clifford-Ward. “We want to see them here on September 24.” She explained the Beth Donovan Hospice had to withdraw as a site for Doors Open due to major renovations being undertaken at their forever home on French Settlement Road. The Kemptville Youth Centre, as well as the Oxford Mills Community Association, have signed up to take part in the event. A total of 24 sites will be open to the public during the event. “I’ve been put in charge of finding sponsors for Doors Open,” said Rowena Cooper, chair of the North Grenville Heritage Advisory Committee. “North Grenville has already sunk quite a bit of money into this, so now we need some funds from the private sector.” She explained sponsorship is needed for printing the Doors Open North Grenville brochures and advertising. “TD Graham & Associates are making the brochures for us and Gerald Tallman, from Tallman Truck Centre, is supplying each and every volunteer with a Doors Open t-shirt for the event,” said Clifford-Ward. “Any contributors to advertising or the printing will have their company name on the back of the brochure.” She displayed the brochure, which features a small photo of each Doors Open site, accompanied by a brief description, along with a map for visitors. “It’s about getting the message across – we’re still trying to raise awareness about the event,” said Clifford-Ward. “This is a free, one day, family event to experience culture, heritage and industry.” She showed the Doors Open North Grenville website, which can be found at www.doorsopenontario.on.ca. The website also has pictures and brief descriptions of each site. There is

NGDHS takes part in 2016 Tim Hortons Timbits Championship North Grenville District High School was well represented at the 2016 Tim Hortons Timbits Provincial Elementary School Curling Championship. Held in Gananoque from April 7 to 10, the team consisting of Ryan Melesky skip, Kyle Melesky vice, Ayden Peters second, and Kade Matheson lead, participated in a field of 54 teams from across the province. The schedule included a Hot Shots competition testing the players ability to draw to the button, and make a take out shot. The boys won silver in this portion of the competition, and received a commemorative backpack for their efforts. Kingston’s Our Lady of Lourdes (to whom the team lost their fourth game)) emerged as the 2016 gold medal winners. The boys displayed an excellent level of skill and sportsmanship, proudly representing their school. Congratulations to all. Go Knights go! Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND
Rowena Cooper, chair of the North Grenville Heritage Advisory Committee, explains the need for sponsorship during the Doors Open meeting at the NGPL on April 21. a link on the website for people interested in volunteering for the event. “We would like to have the brochures ready by June,” said Clifford-Ward. “That would be ideal.” She then turned the meeting over to site representatives for planning updates. “We’d like to offer tours,” said Jenny Read, Kemptville District Hospital representative. “And that would include the OR (operating room).” She said the hospital is also planning a number of multimedia displays, including a historical display. “That will contain artifacts, and also video – artifacts from the original building – so it will link the old with the new,” said Read. She explained the hospital would also like to incorporate their art collection, made possible by a partnership with Art For Healing. “We have art that’s been donated to us that’s worth about $70,000, so we’ll prepare a brochure on that and incorporate that as well,” said Read. “There are all kinds of studies that people who look at art, for example nature images, they take less pain medication after surgeries. Overall, art has all kinds of healing benefits.” She explained the KDH Foundation and auxiliary will
also be participating in the Doors Open event in some capacity. “The Friends of Limerick Forest will be on hand to meet and greet whoever comes out,” said Geoff McVey, Limerick Forest representative. “There will be refreshments like water and juice and coffee. They will provide trail maps, for whoever wants to go back through the bush to see the various boardwalks. They will be there to answer questions about Limerick Forest and the new interpretive centre.” Judy Littau, representative from Holy Cross parish, explained there would be tours of the church, with the choir singing during the tours. Marc Meyer, representative from the Oxford Mills Community Association, explained there would be historical displays about local schools at Maplewood Hall. The St. Lawrence Swordfighters Guild will be conducting demonstrations at the Urbandale Arts Centre during the Doors Open event. The next Doors Open meeting will be held on May 26, location to be determined.

Economic breakfast begins with moment of silence for Wendy Chapman From front page
“You’ve got great leadership in the municipality, so keep up the great work and it’s great to see so many people out to celebrate that,” continued Brown. “And having all of you out, to help people network, will have an even more positive impact on economic development.” “Folks, let’s face it, today we’re going to be hearing some exciting news about this wonderful, expanding, green and growing community,” said Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark. “We can’t capitalize on those opportunities for new growth without a council and a staff that is welcoming; that is ready, able and willing to accept those new business opportunities into the community.” He said the repurposing of Kemptville College is an extremely important economic development opportunity. “Many municipalities wouldn’t have jumped in with both feet like North Grenville has,” said Clark. “And we owe the municipal officials, and council, a deep debt of gratitude.” He said continued support for Kemptville College will be integral moving forward. “It is such an important space and it’s been such an important space for almost a century,” said Clark. “We need to continue to put our best foot forward to the province and other partners to make it a reality. I want to again, pledge to the municipality, that if you feel I could be an asset to you in your negotiations at Queen’s Park, my door is always open.” “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone here today,” said Forbes Symon, director of planning and development. “First and foremost, this breakfast has always been about thanking you. You are our frontline ambassadors.” He said the measure of a community lies in how it responds to crisis. “How it responds to insurmountable challenges,” said Symon. “And I think that when you’re threatened with the loss of the second
largest employer – 70 of the best paying jobs in the community – and an institution that is going to be 100-years-old next year, that has drawn generation after generation of young people to our community to learn; I think when you’re faced with a challenge, it’s your measure. Council stood up quickly.” He thanked municipal staff for stepping up to the added challenges relative to the acquisition of Kemptville College. The economy has slowed in the entire region over the last few years, he explained. “We are part of the Ottawa market and we’ve seen a significant decrease in housing starts,” said Symon. He went over some of the recent economic highlights in North Grenville, including the first houses being built in the northwest quadrant, the new school being built along County Road 44, the new Tallman Truck Centre in the Colonnade development, the opening of the eQuinelle Golf Club and the ground breaking of the Kemptville Landing development. The municipality is focusing on passive recreation infrastructure, such as multi-use pathways, he explained. “Your partnership allows those projects to flourish,” said Symon. Following his speech, councillor Donovan Arnaud presented the 2016 Ambassador Award, which has been renamed the Harry Pratt Ambassador Award in honour of the community builder who passed away Dec. 6. “It is hoped by renaming this award after him, his spirit will live on into the future,” said Arnaud. “Harry would be honoured, happy and humble,” said Sheila Pratt, Harry’s wife. “Indeed, this is a great honour and I am sure he is here with us today in spirit.” Gerald Tallman was named the first recipient of the Harry Pratt Ambassador Award. “I didn’t realize what I was getting into this morning,” said Tallman. “Harry’s a tough act to follow. I sure do miss him. He and I sure travelled a lot of miles together. Thank you all and I will do the best I can.”

Cancer vaccine is possible in our lifetime: researcher Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Do you dream of a cure for cancer? Will a vaccine do? Andrew Wight believes that, one day, it may be so. “We would love to develop a cancer vaccine,” said Wight, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Ottawa, who was a special guest speaker at the Saint John Catholic High School Relay for Life kick-off assembly on Wednesday, April 20. Right now, with current cancer therapies, the cancer may be eliminated, but “that’s the challenge. It grows back.” His hope is that a vaccine could “train (the) immune system to kill it (cancer cells) off.” Right now, “there are a lot of exciting developments going on.” While there are always ethical issues when it comes to any medical research on humans, there are tests currently underway to develop treatments that “finds every cancer cell it can and kill it.” About 79 patients are involved in clinical trials he is working on at the moment, which will likely report back with preliminary findings next year. “I can’t tell you if it’s working,” he said. Wight also told the students about the advances made since the school’s first Relay for Life back in 2002, including recently-ended clinical trials for a breast cancer drug. The drugs in question “recognizes breast cancer,” and lights them up, so to speak, and then tells the body’s immune system to “kill it.” Desmond Devoy/METROLAND Another new therapy “completely elimi- Cancer fighter Lindsey Vergette-Lamoureux, left, looks out into the crowd of stunated 20 per cent of cancer.” “That gives you an idea of what we can dents at St. John high school on April 20, with her best friend, Chelsea Richer, beside her. do in 15 years,” said Wight.

Building fees
t’s pretty rare that I don’t know where I stand on an issue. Usually, things are black and white in my mind. Gray isn’t really my colour, if you know what I mean. I have my beliefs and I stick by them. However, a public meeting was held recently that had me questioning where I stood on a particular issue. I still haven’t quite worked out how I feel about it and hopefully writing this down will clear things up for me. The municipality is considering increasing building fees. Apparently, municipal staff in the building department have been drawing from the reserve to help cover off costs, rather than increase fees to create sustainability in the department. According to the Municipal Act, the building department is supposed to be a self-sustaining entity, something I have heard Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, say a number of times. Fees should, theoretically, cover the costs of staff, training and equipment for the building department. But they haven’t been covering those costs, which has led to the drawing on reserves rather than increasing the building fees. Those fees have remained stagnant for the past decade, despite significant growth in the community. My first thought was why weren’t these fees increased sooner? Why keep them the same for 10 years, when North Grenville has been growing so rapidly? The second thought that ran through my mind was developers have been making millions of dollars in the community for the last decade and the building department is

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
drawing on its reserve to help cover costs? Then the builders stood up to speak. They explained how the cost of everything, from materials to labour, has increased significantly over the last 10 years. How all the new regulations are killing them and costing them money hand over fist. They explained how the smaller builders, who used to put up four or five quality homes per year, are dying out because they just can’t make ends meet. They said a 20 per cent increase in municipal building fees will be another hit to their businesses. They explained how increased fees will force the underground market of home repairs – cash deals sans permits – to grow. I am not a businessperson. I go to work, collect my paycheque, and come home. When it comes to overhead, and payroll, and insurance costs, I am lost. But a lot of what they said resonated with me. Especially considering the significant drop in new housing starts in the community last year. These builders create jobs. They create economy. They also profit. I still don’t know exactly where I stand on this. But I know how difficult a 6.18 per cent tax increase was to absorb last year. So I can only imagine a 20 per cent jump in fees.

Hello spring time
The flowers we love so much are getting ready to leap out of the ground for another spring.
Donkey, do you remember me?
think it’s been over a year since I last visited Donkey in his new home. I went and saw him last weekend and I’m wondering if he remembers me. He was excited to see me, of course, but he is excited to see everyone who takes the time to walk back to the barnyard for a visit. He has learned that they almost always have carrots in their pockets. The Triple B Ranch is running some kind of petting zoo over there. They get all kinds of adoring visitors packing treats. I brought Donkey an apple, in the hope that he would remember me. His sense of smell is not faltering in his old age. He recognized that scent instantly and started craning his neck over the fence in an attempt to reach my pockets. When I held out half the apple for him he carefully took it between his teeth and I told him what a nice gentle boy he was. Then I fed the other half of the apple to the little burro Jack. Suddenly Donkey’s ears went back and his evil side came out. He tried to bite the little beast but Jack was

too quick for him. I guess Donkey hasn’t really found manners and chivalry in his new home after all. Donkey is king of the castle in his new barnyard. There is a cow in there with him, a calf, Jack the burro, and a couple of sheep, including Gracie, his best friend from our farm. So Donk is really the biggest animal on that side of the farm. I’m glad he isn’t in with the big, beautiful horses. That would just make him feel inadequate. I think he is very happy in his new home, and his farmers sure take good care of him. He even got his hooves trimmed – a feat we never attempted. When he lived with us, Donkey used to sand off his extra hoof length on the rocky pasture. In his
current setting there are no rocks so his hooves grow long and curl up at the ends. When I heard they got him trimmed I thought that must have been a very brave farrier indeed. Actually, I was told, it was a brave farrier, a squeeze stockade, and a vet with three doses of tranquilizer. Haha! But after that pedicure he was stepping high and pretty. I hope he appreciated the efforts they went to, to make him comfortable. Gracie is still her adorable, fluffy, vacuous self. Never have I seen a sheep stand so still to be petted and scratched, like a dog. She is so trusting and loving and I’m so happy we were able to find her such a fantastic home where she is safe and well cared for. Gracie isn’t pregnant this year but most of the others aren’t either, so it’s obviously the ram slacking off on the job and not her fault. Or maybe there is something lacking in the soil or water this season that isn’t making for fertile conditions. Back on the Fisher farm, we have had eight calves born over the
past two months. I think we still have two or three to go. It’s always the ones who don’t look pregnant at all who surprise us by just multiplying overnight all on their own. We gave up trying to get the labouring cows into the barn before they give birth. We aren’t very good at determining who should go into confinement. Once they are in they make quite a mess of the place. They hate being locked up, and it’s so warm out now we aren’t really worried about the calves freezing to death. So that’s a good thing. We have a good set of calves this year. The Farmer catches them and
gives them a dose of selenium and vitamins just to ensure all their reflexes are in order. Then we spy to ensure they are nursing properly. So far, so good. They don’t want my bottles of powdered milk and their mothers are looking after them. Julie hides her calf on us every day and it’s a game of hide and seek to find him, but he is perfectly healthy. She is just being creative in protecting him.

Hart Laundry Services of Smiths Falls earned a prestigious award from GE Power and Water Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
It takes a team to succeed and at Hart Laundry Services, that team has been recognized for its excellence. Larry Hart, director of the laundry services located at the Gallipeau Centre, was presented with the Proof Not Promises Award from GE Power and Water for saving some $35,000 in expenses by optimizing its water and power consumption. “It’s about the team, and we have a great team,” Hart said of his partnership not only with his employees, but with the Gallipeaus; his all natural chemical supplier, EcoLab, and with GE Power and Water. Since the laundry facility reopened at the Gallipeau Centre in September, 2011, Hart has been trying to find ways to increase his work load while sustaining the high-quality results. After one of the two 20-yearold boilers broke down, he met Matt Kinghorn, account manager with GE Power and Water, who just happened to pop into the office one day. If you recall the old Rideau Regional Centre days, Hart was the director of the laundry facilities back then, but came out of retirement after two years. He said his goal is to get back to the capacity (or more) of laundry services that he had in its heyday – more than one million pounds of laundry per year. Currently, Hart Laundry Services cleans some 600,000 pounds with 15 clients. One client is the Kemptville District Hospital. He’s working on obtaining a few more contracts. “It was almost like a blessing from above,” Hart said of the day his one boiler went on the fritz. “One day Matt walked in and wanted to talk to me about the boiler; next thing you know… in my professional opinion if we hadn’t
done with Matt and GE that day (developed a partnership) we probably would have not been online… we would have been down.” Steve Collins, GE’s area manager of eastern Ontario, said his company sells chemicals and service to help customers treat their water with the overall goal for sustainability and reduction, so to reduce water, gas consumption and even chemical usage. “The whole goal is to maintain asset protection and proper environmental goals,” Collins said. “We look for projects and Matt was able to identify a project that could save not only on the steam side, but on the laundry side as well.” Kinghorn explained the partnership and then the project they ultimately discovered. “I worked with Larry on a monthly basis and optimized the boiler to run efficiently,” Kinghorn said. “As Larry will attest to, you need four elements (for the ultimate clean): time, water, proper temperature, and chemical concentration. If any one of those is out of balance, it will ultimately affect the laundry facility. It was optimizing the steam circuit to accomplish those goals in the long run.” Hart said Kinghorn was able to identify a project to help him alleviate costs of water consumption, gas consumption, to increase production and save money in the process. The issue was that the steam boiler and water softener were not running at its peak and it was negatively affecting the laundry facility because of inconsistent steam pressure and water temperature. Because of this, it negatively affected maintenance of the boiler, causing corrosion and costing money. Water consumption was at .20 million gallons of usage. With this plan identified,
Hart was able to work with GE for the past year to obtain a large cost savings. “Our rewash was at three per cent and that was costing money,” Hart said. “Now we are down to the industry standard, which is one per cent.” This along with other cost saving measures has resulted in a savings of $34,529 over the past year. Water consumption went down to .15 million gallons; natural gas consumption and chemical usage were also substantially less. Kinghorn receives a weekly test results and is able to make recommendations via email or a phone call, and he also continues his monthly visits. He said that amount of savings doesn’t surprise him at all. “No surprise at all,” he said. “Before we came in there were issues, so it’s no surprise at all that once we optimized the issues we’d absolutely see significant savings on the boiler side as well as at the laundry facility.” According to Collins, it’s part of the company’s business model. “Water treatment is kind of an afterthought for most businesses, because you don’t make money on it,” Collins said. “It’s a cost. It’s an expense; until it bites you and then it also becomes a reality… the importance becomes real.” Celebrating the successes of businesses like Hart Laundry Services is part of the overall project, said Kinghorn. “It’s continuous,” Kinghorn said of the partnerships they develop. “We sit with our customers on a regular basis and look for projects that will provide benefits to them, so it’s an ongoing process. We align our resources to meet those goals and most importantly, always come back to meetings like these and celebrate the successes with the customer.”

Gardener’s Corner
Start Somewhere This week is for the new gardeners. The ones that are just starting out and feel a little intimidated by all the jargon. Years ago the new families would come bouncing into to nursery raring to go and apologetic for their lack of knowledge. I made it a point to encourage their enthusiasm. So this week I’ve put together a small glossary of gardening terms to get you started. And it’s even in alphabetical order. Annuals: Many new gardeners think, and justifiably so, if it’s an annual, it comes up annually. I wish. We would have saved a boatload of money over the years. Annuals come in hundreds of colours and varieties and will bloom most of the summer but with the fall frost they are done. Compost: A great soil amendment using decomposed organic matter. A very cost effective way to grow green. And no, it’s not smelly. Cuttings: A method of propagating new plants from the roots, stems or leaves of existing plants. Any type of willow is a good start for beginners. We lined the driveway with dappled willows when we trimmed up the Mama plant. Deadheading: Dreadful sounding term but your plants will thank you. Pinch off spent blooms to prevent plant from going to seed and encourage new blossoming. Dripline: If you drew a circle around your tree directly below the outermost branches, That’s where to water and fertilize. Not up against the trunk.

Harden off: Gradually acclimatizing plants started indoors to outdoor conditions. Don’t throw them in the deep end. Floaties for a few days. Your tomatoes will thank you. Perennial: Any non woody plant that grows for more then two years. Most only flower once a season but last year we had a few flower twice. pH: This is a biggy! The pH of your soil determines how acidic or alkaline it is. Know what your plants prefer and get an inexpensive soil test kit before you plant. Rhizome: Sounds like something to be treated with a course of antibiotics but they are actually plant stems that grow horizontally under the soil and pop up new babies. Irises, ferns and many grasses use this method of self propagation. A real money saver but beware, some are quite invasive. Scarification: Scratching or nicking a seed’s outer shell to promote faster germination. Works great for lupins. A little rub with some sandpaper and soak overnight. Variegated: Plants with leaves of multiple colours. They really pop in the garden but if you see one branch reverting to a single colour (green) snip it out before the whole plant follows suit. Just got going with the glossary. If you need a gardening term explained write me at the email address below. We’ve all got to start somewhere. gordknights3@gmail.com

Local builders voice opposition to building permit fee increases Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Municipal staff recently brought forth proposed changes to the North Grenville building permit fees. The changes were opposed by local builders, during a public meeting on April 18. No resolution was passed. “This is an item that was discussed during budget deliberations; it’s something my staff has been working quite diligently on,” said Forbes Symon, director of planning and development. “The purpose of our report is to recommend council approve an adjustment bylaw to consolidated fees and charges for municipal permits, specifically for the fees in the building department,” said Steve Leroux, chief building official. “The current fees have been in effect since 2005, with minor adjustments. Recently, during budget discussions, it demonstrated that revenues for the building permits are lacking in terms of cost recovery for services provided by the building department. And transfers from the reserve have been required to maintain the building services.” To address this situation, a review was conducted of 12 municipalities, he explained. “The analysis was based on a 1,500 square foot bungalow with an unfinished basement and two car garage,” said Leroux. He explained the municipal bylaw allows for two methods of calculating
building fees; the value of construction and cost per square foot. “We’re recommending that the value of construction calculation be dropped, as it is difficult to calculate the true value of construction,” said Leroux. “Some people believe it could be the value of materials required to build a home. It could be anywhere from there to the sale price of the home. Somewhere in between is where the truth lies, but it always comes down to value being under-reported.” He explained when compared with 12 other municipalities, North Grenville is fifth from the lowest for building permit charges based on a fee per square foot. “We’re proposing to adjust the current 76 cents per square foot for finished spaces to 91 cents per square foot for finished spaces,” said Leroux. “For unfinished spaces, the current weight is 38 cents per square foot, which we’re proposing to adjust to 49 cents per square foot.” He said based on the 1,500 square foot model, the current municipal price for a building permit would be $1,928. “With the adjusted fees, it would $2,319,” said Leroux. He explained the other new fee being proposed is a 50 per cent fee for starting a project without a permit. “Just to be absolutely clear here, you’re suggesting if we do not raise the fees, we’ll be covering this off with taxation?” asked Councillor Donovan
Arnaud. “That is correct,” said Leroux. “There’s been a building reserve we’ve been able to draw on until now, but we’ve demonstrated that one day, it could be the reserve won’t be there for us to draw on and it would have to be through taxation we would cover off the cost of the services.” “While it doesn’t seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things on a house, the incremental increases have gone up on housing in the last 10 years, with fees and different regulations, has really added a lot,” said Cory Lockwood, of Lockwood Brothers Construction. “Our costs, for developers in this area, have really gone up mainly due to one or two developers in the area who have consistently done poor work - I won’t say any names here. Those are costs we’ve incurred, on average, about $3,000 per home, since 2005.” He said since 2005, development fees have gone up between 50 and 60 per cent. “Materials and labour costs have gone up as well,” said Lockwood. He said the underground economy in construction will grow with an increase in fees “We moved here from Quebec in 2000,” said Lockwood. “If you didn’t do cash work in Quebec, you just didn’t eat. That’s just the way it was. That’s one of the main reasons we left Quebec and moved to this area. When we first moved here, we never got of-
fered cash. We never ever spoke of it. And it doesn’t really affect our business because we don’t do a lot of the small jobs, but speaking of smaller contractors - one or two man shows - the cash, underground economy is killing them. They’re being forced to work for cash because if they won’t, the won’t feed their families.” He suggested the municipality seek a consultant to come in and create efficiencies in the building department, to help cut down costs. “I come before you this evening as a builder,” said Robert Noseworthy, of Westerra Homes. “The main driver of our economy is housing and I wish to express some concerns about the new bylaw. As Cory mentioned, these are challenging times. Prices are rising and we’re seeing major hits on major sides.” He suggested staff organize a meeting with the North Grenville Home Builders’ Association in the next two weeks. “One of the reasons I would like to do that is we would like to flush out a few elements that are detailed in this bylaw,” said Noseworthy. “This bylaw has been with us in draft form for 10 days, approximately. I received it by email from the building department. I just want us to catch up as a home builders’ association to the bylaw.” He explained within the bylaw, it states fees may be amended from time to time. “One of the comments we have is seeing the fees go 10 years without
increases and all of a sudden just jumping up,” said Noseworthy. “Last year, as you’ll remember; we had no increase in municipal taxes for four or five years and then all of a sudden there was a six per cent increase. We would prefer a more phased in approach with these fees being proposed.” You can make numbers say whatever you want, said Noseworthy. “Mr. Leroux said there was an increase from $1,928 to $2,319, and he quite correctly said that’s a one per cent increase for a $300,000 home. However, in terms of the fee itself, that’s a full 20 per cent increase. So it’s a 20 per cent increase if you look at it the way I read the numbers.” He explained the number of building permits for new houses has been steadily declining in recent years. “2012 was the single largest year for building permits, at 249,” said Noseworthy. “In that year, a budget was struck for $429,000 for the building permits revenue. In 2013, permits went down from 249 to 114. In 2014, they went down to 104. In 2015, building permits went down to 85. I am reading this from the new housing starts report I received. And what this says to me, cause I’m a numbers guy, is we have a seven-year average of 143 new starts per year. Yet, the budget we’re working with, in and around the $430,000 range was struck when our building permits were around 249.”

Committee discusses Bill 181 and Drinking Water Quality Management System Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The following is a list of briefs from the committee of the whole meeting on April 18. Bill 181 discussed Bill 181, the Elections Modernization Act, was discussed by the committee. “I can answer any questions you may have,” said Valentin. “Just to give you a high level overview, the province has reviewed the Municipal Elections Act and a few weeks ago introduced the bill that will amend it. The report in front of you outlines some of the key changes they’re proposing. The one that’s gotten the most publicity is of course the new act will allow the option for ranked balloting. Unfortunately, the way the bill is written, all it says is ‘we’ll give you the option; all the details about how you can implement that will come later in regulation.’ So, as staff, we don’t have a lot of additional information for you, but we will certainly make sure to get that as it becomes available.” She explained the nomination timeline has also changed in the new act. “Historically, the nomination period opens January 1 in the year of the election and runs until the first Friday in September, so it’s a really long nomination period. What they’re proposing is to move that date to, I believe,
early in May. So you wouldn’t be able to file your nomination until early in May. And then they’re going to move up the closing of nominations to midJuly. So a much shorter nomination period, but it will give any candidate who put their name forward from mid-July, right through to the election at the end of October to actually campaign.” North Grenville Fire Chief appointed Fire Coordinator for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville “Tonight, we have a very important announcement,” said Mayor David Gordon. “Congratulations to our (fire) chief Paul Hutt, who was elected as the new United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Fire Coordinator. This is big for the chief and a very important position and I am very proud of the chief and I know you’ll do one heck of a good job.”
September 28, 2015. The recommendations for the two above mentioned facilities were to consider selling the court house within five years and work with the current tenants to find an alternative location within North Grenville. And also, to secure funding for the rehabilitation of the former Oxford-On-Rideau Township Hall and repurpose the facility into a museum and archives center.” He explained staff committed to holding public consultations. “Both buildings have been designated architectural and historical interest,” said Guy. “Staff has received a proposal from LHC (Letourneau Heritage Consulting) to lead the public consultation sessions. LHC has specialized expertise and considerable experience of situations where municipalities own heritage buildings that are under utilized and have significant costs in maintenance and capital works.” He explained the public consultation will consist of meeting with specific groups that have heritage connections in North Grenville, a community public meeting and an online survey. He explained staff will re-allocate a minor portion of capital funds from the arena flooring project towards the consultation costs, totalling $3,870.
Consultant recommended to access possible uses for court house and old town hall “At committee of the whole, on September 21, 2015, a report was tabled on the status of four municipally owned facilities, this includes the court house building and the former Oxford-On-Rideau Township Hall,” said Mark Guy, director of parks, recreation and culture. Jack-Joseph Street subdivision draft “The report and associated recom- approval extension mendations were passed at council on “The first item in the report for
you this evening deals with a planned subdivision within the urban area of Kemptville,” said Forbes Symon, director of planning and development. “It’s referred to as the Jack-Joseph Street subdivision. This subdivision received draft approval about three years ago. The developer has been proceeding recently to satisfy the conditions of draft approval, but the approval is lapsing shortly and the request is for a one year extension of draft approval to allow them to complete the satisfaction of the conditions and get the subdivision registered.” Notice of public meeting dealing with zoning “There will be a public meeting on May 2, at 7 p.m., in council chambers to consider modification to the zoning amendment,” said Symon. “For zoning as it applies to the Oxford Village subdivision and also some modifications to the original layout of the subdivision that was given draft plan approval. These changes are related primarily to the definition of the wetland within the subdivision and it’s caused some alteration with the original layout.” Drinking Water Quality Management System quarterly update “As owners of the system, the public works department brings you quarterly updates,” said Karen Dunlop, director of public works. “This is
January 1 to March 31, 2016. It actually a very quiet report; there’s not a lot of activity going on. The first point of interest in the report is we had no water breaks. Our back-flow prevention installations are at 87 per cent.” Minimum maintenance standards bylaw discussed “The minimum maintenance standards is a replacement of an old bylaw for the roads service standards, which was originally passed by the municipality in 2004,” said Dunlop. “These provide guidelines for the repair and maintenance of roads.” Re-allocation of funds for Channel Monster replacement “This report this evening is twofold; the first is re-allocation of funds, as well as the award for the procurement of the Channel Monster,” said Dunlop. “I’ve included pictures in your report. So the Channel Monster is the grinder at the head works of the waste water treatment plant. Again, the procurement is for sole source, to Envirocan, as the exclusive distributor of the product.” She explained there is $40,000 allocated in the water and sewer budget for the Channel Monster. “We are asking for a re-allocation of $15,000 from the pump station building repairs for capital projects,” said Dunlop. The total cost of the Channel Monster is $51,178.

As the North Grenville Concert Choir puts the finishing touches for the May 13-15 performances, Hairspray is the third of five popular musicals that will be featured. It is based on the 1988 movie by the same title. Set in Baltimore, Hairspray is as much a social commentary on injustice and civil liberties as it is entertaining. It tackles body issues (the lead, Tracy, is a large girl who embraces her body and proceeds to eat up all obstacles in her way), as well as (racial) integration and civil rights, an issue that, especially in the US, is alive and well today, so many years later. An interesting fact about this musical is that the role of Tracy’s Mother, was played by a man in the original movie; the trend continued on Broadway (by legend Harvey Feierstein), and in the musical movie adaptation (movie star John Travolta). The Broadway production uses more than 150
wigs, many characters requiring numerous wigs during the show. Four of the characters are also a part of the orchestra, as the musical only called for 15 musicians, but the theatre required a minimum of 18. However, only 11 musicians fit in the pit and so the strings and percussions played in separate rooms, watching the conductor on a monitor. The choir will be accompanied by well-known concert pianist Ryan Phelps who brings his wonderful talent and experience to these performances, and he will no doubt help to showcase the voices of the choir in a grand way. Performances will be held Friday, May 13, 7:30PM at Winchester United Church, Sunday, May 15, 2:00PM at St. John’s United Church, Kemptville and Sunday, May 15, 7:30PM at Holy Trinity Church in Merrickville. For ticket info call 613-784-0043 or go to www.ngcc.net. Submitted by the North Grenville concert Choir

The construction season is nearly upon us. There are a number of projects that you will notice this summer as you make your way around Rideau-Goulbourn. Roads slated for resurfacing include: • Bridge Street • Moodie Drive (Brophy-Fallowfield) • Ottawa Street (West of Fortune) • Royal York Street (Fortune to Fowler) The Moodie Drive project will be conducted primarily between the hours of 7:00pm and 6:00am. The Rideau Valley Drive South project continues with the renewal of storm sewers, introduction of sidewalks and resurfacing from Dorack to Lockhead. Flewellyn Road, between Conley and Huntley, will be microsurfaced. This will help restore the road to its condition prior to the Enbridge pipeline project from 2014. Residents on along Mackey Road can expect to see some work this summer, as well, as the road is upgraded from gravel surface to a paved surface through surface treatment. This project will extend the existing paved surface from Viola Street to McCordick Road. Sidewalk projects include upgrading the sidewalk on Beaverwood Road, between Ann Street and Manotick Main Street as well as the renewal of the sidewalk on Roger Stevens Drive, west of Fourth Line Road. This project had been delayed from last year to this year because the scope of the project was larger than its budget. Also in North Gower, the replacement of the canteen at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre has already begun. Later this summer, the replacement of the play structure will also take place. The much discussed Manotick Arena expansion is moving forward with design and tendering to occur this year and construction slated for 2017. These are just the construction projects slated to occur within Rideau-Goulbourn. In a future column, I’ll highlight projects outside of the ward that may be of interest or may impact your commute. Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee Our May 5th meeting of ARAC contains a very light agenda. There is a floodplain mapping report that was deferred from our last meeting, a presentation on the Ottawa Rural Clean Water Grants Program, a presentation on the 2016 Canadian Plowing Championships and two items that I put forward as Notices of Motion at our April 15th ARAC meeting. One item again asks the Province to give municipalities more authority on land use planning as it relates to renewable energy projects and the other directs staff to correct a zoning anomaly on several Dwyer Hill Road properties. As usual, we meet at Ben Franklin Place at 10:00am. April 13th Council Meeting In last week’s column, I promised to shed light on a couple of recent votes at Council. The votes were on a traffic congestion report and the Pet Shop By-Law. Due to word count restraints in this column, I am unable to include my comments here.

Community Living month in North Grenville kicks-off April 30 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
May is Community Living month all across the nation. Community Living North Grenville is kicking off the month-long celebration of acceptance and inclusion with their annual comedy night event on April 30. “This is a way to bring awareness about who we are and how we help the community,” said Tracey Bennett, community support supervisor at CLNG. Community Living North Grenville has been supporting local people with intellectual disabilities for nearly 50 years. The comedy night, which is being held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre beginning at 6:30 p.m., will feature comedian Jen Grant. Throughout the month of May, CLNG will be doing the Great Community Living Food Drive in support of the Salvation Army Food Bank. On Wednesday, May 4, CLNG will be hosting their annual pancake breakfast at the
municipal centre, from 8 to 11 a.m. The cost is $5 per person. “Usually we serve between 200 and 250 people,” said Bennett. “We also raise the Community Living flag at the municipal centre that day.” On May 6, come out and enjoy a free movie night at the municipal centre, sponsored by CLNG. There will be free popcorn and drinks. The film, Kung Fu Panda 3, will start at 7 p.m. “Another new thing we’re doing is a poster contest with all the local elementary schools,” said Bennett. The contest has already begun and concludes May 13, at which time the winner will be announced and presented a prize. “The kids can draw anything they want,” she said. “It’s all about inspiring possibilities.” She explained Community Living month is a good way to get the word out in the community. CLNG is currently supporting 112 people in the community. “We support them with em-
ployment, therapeutic riding, swimming, volunteering, bowling, movie nights and sports nights,” said Bennett. “It’s a pretty busy place.” CLNG advocates for, promotes and facilitates the full participation, inclusion and citizenship of people who have an intellectual disability. “We are always looking for volunteers,” she said. “If people are interested in working with someone we support - reading to them, going for walks, doing art and music please contact us.” CLNG is also in need of donations to help continue essential programming in the community.“A lot of the people we support are only living on ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program) and are barely able to pay their bills,” said Bennett. “Fundraising helps support them in events they want to take part in.” CLNG is located at 2830 County Road 43 in Kemptville. For more information, call CLNG directly at (613)-2587177.

House of Lazarus appeals to community members for support during #EveryPlateFull campaign House of Lazarus is raising food and funds to ensure shelves are stocked for the summer In its second year, the #EveryPlateFull campaign, is once again urging Canadians to address the 26,548,725 summer meal gap that is facing Canadians struggling with hunger and House of Lazarus is joining in to raise support in our community. During the month of May, over 120 food bank organizations are raising much needed food and funds to ensure shelves are full during the summer months. Food donations are at their lowest from June to August, and House of Lazarus shelves often go close to empty at a time when the need doesn’t diminish. The #EveryPlateFull campaign aims to raise awareness of the continued need for support while asking residents of our community to help raise the essential food and funds to get the organization through this challenging period. “The summer is a particularly difficult time for families living with food insecurity as school based meal programs
take a break for the holidays often leaving families with fewer supports,” says Kim Merkley of the House of Lazarus Food Bank. “We want to ensure that our food bank can meet the needs of our community and being prepared for the summer will allow us to do that.” To show support for Canada’s hungry and raise awareness of this campaign, House of Lazarus is asking community members for support in a number of ways: • Spread the word on social media using #EveryPlateFull • Start a campaign page at www.everyplatefull.ca to encourage donations from friends, family and peers • Make a monetary donation through www.everyplatefull.ca to House of Lazarus. • April 28- May 7th: participate in our Mother’s Day Draw. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. Draw will be made at the South Mountain Duck Race on May 7th at 2pm. • May 13 - Keller Williams Food Drive at Johnson’s Independent Grocer in Kemptville • May 14 - Walk-a-thon at
Mountain Park. Our goal is to raise $3000 and 3000kgs of food. Barbecue and family activities. • May 15 - 23 in house food drive. Bring in 3 items on our Top 30 Food Items Needed List and receive a 30 per cent coupon to shop in our stores. • May 24 to 27 - Youth Week: Nationview Public School Food drive. • May 30 - Presentation at Ontario Early Years Centre in Winchester. With every dollar donated during #EveryPlateFull, organizations are able to provide meals to people in need. Summer is a time to enjoy the good weather and holidays but sadly hunger will not be on the radar of most Canadians. “Over 500 men, women and children in our community will have a really difficult time accessing enough food during the summer months,” says Merkley. “Our community can ensure no one’s plate has to be empty.” For more information, please contact Merkley directly by calling 613-989-3830.

Séan McCann sings at the Station Theatre Friday, May 13 Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Séan McCann, a founding member of the internationally renowned band Great Big Sea (GBS), will bring his stories and songs in a one-man performance to the stage of the spectacular Smiths Falls Station Theatre on Friday, May 13 at 8 p.m. McCann’s love for Newfoundland and Labrador folk songs shot him to international fame as a founding member of GBS. After millions of albums sold, countless hit songs, and record breaking tours around the world, Séan realized that his 20 years with the band had to stop. Music is meant to connect, heal, and bring happiness. While he was giving that to thousands of people a night he was slowly losing his own way. Instead of seeking truth he was hiding behind his music. This was unfair to both himself and his fans so he left the band and started over. Today, his mantra “Help Your Self ” sees him breaking the silence on his past addiction and abuse, using music as medicine to positively change lives. In January 2014, McCann released his first post-GBS album. Produced by Joel Plaskett, Help Your Self is the sound of a man facing his demons and ultimately overcoming them. We now find McCann touring the country as a solo artist in intimate venues where he can sincerely connect with his audience in the way he always hoped to – face-to-face. The 140-seat Station Theatre, located at 53 Victoria Avenue (the beautifully renovated former CPR train station) is the perfect spot for patrons to really enjoy his music. Go to the theatre’s website, www. smithsfallstheatre.com, for full details on the artist and the event and an opportunity to hear a download of his latest music. Tickets are $30 and may be purchased now by calling 613-283-0300 for credit card purchases or by contacting our website at www.smithsfallstheatre.com. Cash only tickets sales are at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. E. in Smiths Falls and at the door one-half hour before the performance. On the road McCann has gone from sold out arena concerts with the internation-
ally acclaimed band Great Big Sea, of which he was a co-founder, to a much more personal musical expression in smaller venues on his own. With an appreciation of musical traditions based on growing up in his native Carbonnear, NFLD, he went from national awards, millions of albums sold and tours around the world to a need to find a place for himself and to rediscover the music within him. “My wife is from Minnesota and we love living in Ontario,” McCann wrote in an email exchange with this newspaper last winter. “I miss my mom and dad in Newfoundland but there are so many more opportunities available to me here. Like many hundreds of thousands of Newfoundlanders before me, I simply could no longer afford to stay.” McCann left Great Big Sea in 2013 and took time off to find his center again, before releasing his first solo album, “Help Your Self ”. “The ‘band scene’ is a very unhealthy place... especially for an alcoholic. It is a very superficial world where denial and excess are only encouraged. I am seeking something far more sincere and I know I won’t find it in a hockey rink,” he wrote. McCann’s album, “You Know I Love You” has once again taken him on a cross-Canada journey. McCann wrote that fans of his music can expect him to “show up” this time. “Expect to meet the real Séan McCann because he is going to show up. People don’t really know me… yet. Music fans of every stripe should expect only my very best.” McCann’s music has a new direction to it, helping him to find a path towards dealing with issues of addiction and abuse. “Today I am wide awake and fully present,” he wrote. “I am no longer a victim. I am a survivor. My past is no longer my prison and I continue to help myself by sharing my story. I have shed light on my secret and destroyed its power over me. I am moving forward again and I have never sounded better.” Since embarking on his solo ventures, he has found a new connection with his music and his audience in a way he had always hoped to, using music as therapy, working with people with disabilities and as a speaker helping other find their own focus. McCann’s powerful voice, masterful guitar (on his famous Takamine

Séan McCann will bring his stories and songs in a one-man performance to the stage of the spectacular Smiths Falls Station Theatre on Friday, May 13 at 8 p.m. guitar with a hole worn through the top) and thundering rhythms on the Irish Bodh ran drum make for an exciting evening of music and one which will be both up close and personal. “I have learned that anger is always the enemy and love is always the right solution. That is the sound you will hear in my new songs (listen at www. seanmccannsings.com),” he says. “A song is never really finished until it is sung with other people so I created my new songbook to facilitate that end. Music is strong medicine and singing always makes me feel better. My songs are my labour of love.”
As for his days of Great Big Sea, McCann says he wrote a lot of good songs while with the band and he still stands by them. “We still disagree on a great big many things and I love the band too much to watch (it) self-destruct. Our work is done. I will honour our legacy and try to move on,” he says. But he’s open for requests, “… especially if they agree to sing along. My solo show is very ‘interactive.’ Full audience participation is required. Anything less is unacceptable.” Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre

McCann says he does tweet back and forth occasionally with Bob Hallet and Alan Doyle, his former band mates. “We don’t say much but I think it’s a definite improvement over talking through lawyers.” Music saved McCann’s life and he says he respects it too much to ever just “dial it in” anymore. “We had something good in Great Big Sea and we all took it for granted,” he says, “I will never let that happen to me again.” With files from the Smiths Falls Community Theatre
Electric cars light up sustainability fair Twisted characters struggle I had the chance recently to drop by the North Grenville Sustainability Fair and Market on a very bright sunny Sunday afternoon in Kemptville. This event (now in its ninth year) is a great opportunity to check out a wide variety of environmentally friendly products, services, and businesses. But what piqued my interest of course was the display of electric vehicles organized by Jeff Goodman and some very dedicated volunteers. There was almost every model of electric vehicle on the market from the Smart EV to the Tesla Model S and everything in between. The best part of this type of show is the fact that almost every vehicle is brought by its owner and you get a chance to ask questions to someone who has been driving their EV (electric vehicle) for some time. Everyone participating was more than happy to discuss all the ins and outs of EV ownership and operation, from purchase price to government rebates to real-world driving ranges in both the winter and summer. And without exception they are a very open and approachable group who has nothing to gain by steering anyone wrong. No sales pressure, no hassles, just friendly conversations and a lot of knowledge. EVs aren’t just second cars for early adopters anymore. There were people at the fair who lived in Ottawa South and commuted to Gatineau every day,
Car Counsellor
BRIAN TURNER a gentleman from Kingston who enjoyed a great Sunday drive to Kemptville with his Smart EV, and a young couple who found that the Kia Soul EV was great for daily family use. Home charging stations are inexpensive and no harder for an electrician to hook up than a 220V electric drier socket. Public fast-charge stations are becoming more plentiful every year and a smart phone or onboard navigation system app can lead you to the closest one at the push of a button. Jeff delivered a seminar on EV ownership at the fair and presented a great side-by-side comparison of the costs of owning, maintaining, insuring, and fueling both EVs and their gasoline counterparts. For example a 2016 Ford Focus SE gasoline version running 36K km per year with fuel at $0.90/L would cost you around $720 per month for all related expenses (except licensing). The same Focus with electric only power would set you back about $590. These figures include car payments and are based on electricity costs of about $0.15/kWh. Similar savings can be had with the
Kia Soul EV over its gasoline powered cousin. And with most carmakers, their EV versions come with more standard equipment than the gasoline fueled units. The Kia Soul EV owner told me his electricity bill only went up about $30 per month when he brought his silent ride home. Thirty dollars won’t even fill a small car once with gasoline these days. A big thanks goes out to Jeff and his team for a job well done and all the EV owners that came out to Kemptville. If you see a sustainability fair or related event advertised near you, check to see if they have an EV display, then go. It will be the most enlightening time of your commuting life. And one final thing, if the lights ever go out in your home due to a power failure, most EVs can keep things lit until the power comes back on with the appropriate house wiring connection. Try doing that with your gasoline vehicle. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

My Take
MARK HASKINS
MOVIE: The Huntsman: Winter’s War STARRING: Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Nick Frost and Charlize Theron DIRECTOR: Cedric NicolasTroyan RATING: PG The first twenty minutes or so of Winter’s War tells the story of how Queen Freya’s (Emily Blunt) power of ice and cold are awakened by the death of her baby. She then leaves her sister Ravenna (Charlize Theron) to create her own kingdom in the north. There she starts taking children, to ‘free’ them from the bonds of love, and train them to be her huntsman. Two of those children are Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Sara (Jessica Chastain). The two are raised to be Freya’s best warriors, but despite the Queen’s decree that love is a sin, they fall in love. Freya forces them to fight for their love. Just as they’re about to win their freedom Freya uses her magic to deceive them. Eric sees Sara killed, while Sara sees Eric abandon her. Seven years go by as we gloss

over the first film, and jump into the sequel portion of the movie. Fearing the power of the Mirror, Snow White sends it away only to have it stolen. Eric, along with two dwarves Nion (Nick Frost) and Gryff (Rob Brydon), are tracking it when they run into Queen Freya’s Huntsman. Eric is rescued from the Huntsman by Sara. It’s a reunion of sorts as seven years and Freya’s magic still lie between them. If Freya obtains the Mirror an even greater evil will be unleashed.The Huntsman: There are some great lines, and a fantastic fight between good and evil, but on the whole the movie reminds me of something I would have loved back in the ’80s. Something like Hawk the Slayer or Lady Hawk, or Dragonslayer or some other cheesy fantasy film with hawk or slayer in the title. It was fun to watch and may become a guilty pleasure, but hardly worthy of the big screen. As far as the cast goes I thought the whole show was stolen by Nick Frost, Rob Brydon, Sheridan Smith and Alexandria Roach who played the dwarves. Emily Blunt plays a psychologically damaged sociopath with the best of them, and is only outdone in over-the-top evil by Charlize Theron. Jessica Chastain plays a pretty good action hero. The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a mess, but at least Kristen Stewart isn’t in it. This column is a regular feature.

more dates to hold sittings: April 30, May 14 and June 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. Tracy’s gifts allow her to understand what is in the hearts of animals – an opportunity for your pet to speak with you through her – fill your heart with peace and love as your pet shares feelings with you. For more information and bookings please call Perth Pet Valu at 613264-8592. A portion of the $20 fee will be donated to LAWS. This week’s featured pets Joel
Joel arrived in January on a bitterly cold day in a very bad shape. Meanwhile this great cat has made himself quite at home at LAWS. Joel is over 10-years-old and has, surprisingly for a senior cat, still a lot of spunk in him. He adores playing with his grey stuffed mouse. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be around people. Joel is our longest in-house guest and
This Week’s Pets we feel it’s really time for this older cat to find his forever home. A home where he’s allowed to drink from the tap, which he likes very much, and where he’s being treated like a king as that’s what he deserves. He’s very clean, friendly, goodlooking and a pleasure to have around. We’re looking for someone who would open her or his heart for this pleasant boy and give him a warm cozy cat bed in a caring home. That would be so great for Joel. Joel has a sensitive stomach, if he has too many treats or if he’s introduced to something new he will get an upset tummy. We feed him special food and it has settled his stomach. It’s best for Joel to continue the same food he’s been on for a while. If you’re looking to give a senior cat a loving home then please meet Joel at LAWS. One look in his friendly eyes and we’ll sure you melt and will take him home. Because of his age, his adoption fee can be reduced. Aquaroo Aquaroo is a sharp-eyed young male cat who loves to sit on the top shelf of the cat tree so he can safely see what’s going on below him. Aqua-
roo is from the cat colony in Carleton Place and since his arrival has adjusted very well to his new indoor life with lots of love and attention at LAWS. He’s a friendly boy and loves to snuggle up with other cats in the same cat run. His favorite friend Gem has been adopted but he quickly made friends with the other cat ladies. This
womanizer is now available to find his forever home. Cosmo Cosmo adores being around people and loves to come up to you to receive affection. He is very friendly and just

enjoys all the attention he can get when he wants it. Although he likes other cats he sometimes wants to be the boss. He is playful and very active and enjoys catching the sunrays on his bed. He also loves to play with his stuffed mouse full of catnip. He can easy overdose on it so watch out for this “drug addict.” Although Cosmo enjoys children he does not want to be picked up all the time. He has no fear or aggression towards the dogs he has met so far. Cosmo would be a great addition to almost any family. A potential adopter needs to be willing to take the time for this great boy as Jaxson needs to be socialized, a lot. Further, he needs proper training to perfect his obedience and leash skills. We believe that with the correct training Jaxson could be your loyal friend for life. He’s worth it to be allowed a chance to show you how wonderful he can be. If you think you’re able and willing to give this dog a chance then please call LAWS at 613283-9308 to make an appointment for a meet and greet. Thank you for your continued support.
