Crime stats are trending down in North Grenville Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
North Grenville is experiencing downward crime trends in nearly all areas, says Ontario Provincial Police Grenville County Detachment Commander Bill Bolton. He presented the 2015 OPP annual report to council on April 25. “In previous years, I’ve done a year to year comparison,” said Bolton.
“The report – the information I am going to provide to you this evening – is more of a fiveyear trend analysis, which gives us a better picture compared to what I’ve done in previous years.” He explained the trends he would be speaking to covered violent crime, property crime, drug offences, impaired driving and RIDE.

The trio of violinists Lisa Draper and Danielle Lennon, as well as cellist Jeff Hamacher will perform Sunday, May 8 at the Perth Manor.
Perth Manor wraps up music series for season with classical trio May 8 Mother’s Day is fast approaching, which means our last concert of the 2016 winter/spring season at the Perth Manor is nearly here! This Sunday, May 8 at 2 p.m. we welcome Limestone Trio from Kingston to the Perth Manor. Lisa Draper, violin; Danielle Lennon, violin; and Jeff Hamacher, cello are all members of the Kingston Symphony and form the trio.
These versatile musicians have put together a program that will certainly feature something for everyone. From ‘serious’ music by Bach and Haydn, to ‘not-so-serious’ music – Bach at the Double for Swing Trio – the concert will be a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon Mother’s Day. Having played dozens and dozens of weddings and receptions, these musicians have some
entertaining ‘behind the scenes’ stories to tell as they take the audience through a ‘musical wedding ceremony’. Tickets are $35 plus HST and include a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres at the post-concert reception with the musicians. Tickets are available at the manor in person or by telephone at 613-264-0050.

Guided bus tour through Perth, Tay Valley Township June 4 Have you ever wanted to go back in time? If time travel is possible then become one of the visitors from the future on June 4. Tickets are going fast for this guided bus tour through historic Perth and Tay Valley Township, in celebrating their 200th anniversary. The world is a book, so watch the pages turn and hear the stories about Perth which was first established as a military settlement in 1816, shortly after the War of 1812. Many of the first settlers were military veterans on half pay, while others were military veterans from France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Scotland or Ireland who were offered land in return for their service. Travel to evolve, and learn about the great Rev. William Bell, who arrived in June 1817, who noted in his many diaries that the settlement of the Tay Valley Township was more European than a Scottish settlement. Time travel along with us for romance, as Perth was the site of the last fatal duel in Upper Canada. Robert Lyon, a law student, was killed on June 13, 1833 after fighting over a
woman (Elizabeth Hughes) with a former friend, John Wilson. Come relive the tales– you will not regret it! It’s the journey that matters in the end, so join us for this unique historical event. Tickets are going fast and the first bus is already full, with a second now being added. Once a year, go somewhere where you have never been before. Get your tickets early. No tickets will be sold on the day of event. The event kicks off from Farrell Hall in Perth (186 Gore Street East) with doors opening at 9:30 a.m. The bus departs at 10 a.m. or sooner if seats are full and a catered lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. There will be two guest speakers during the tour, including John McKenty, a local historian and author who will talk about “Early Perth Through the Eyes of a Businessman (George S. James 1869-1964), a central figure in Perth’s early economic and social development. Author Sandra Joyce will also speak on the subject of British Home Children whose age ranged
from 1-18 years. These impoverished children came from all parts of the British Isles to Canada with hopes of a chance at a better life. Their stories are a huge part of Canadian history, which to this day largely remains unknown. Some of the invited exhibitors to the marketplace include Lanark County Museums Networks, Perth Historical Society, Beckwith Township Hertiage Group, Global Genealogy, Ontario Historical Society and others. Tickets for the full event, which includes the catered lunch, are $30 per person. Also available a limited number of tickets for the luncheon and afternoon speaker portion for only $15 per person. Cheques can be made payable to Lanark County Genealogical Society and mailed to Lanark County Genealogical Society, Glen Tay Bus Tour Group, P.O. Box 512 Perth, ON K7H 3K4.

Third annual Great Veggie Grow-Off launched, expands to include all of Lanark County Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
Grow a little more, feed your community. That’s the message organizers of the Great Veggie GrowOff wanted to get across during the launch of the third annual initiative at the Lanark County Food Bank (The Hunger Stop) in Carleton Place May 1. The fundraiser was established two years ago by Neighbourhood Tomato and St. Gregory’s Next Door community gardens, Mills Community Support and Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) as a way to challenge residents of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills to see who could grow the most local produce for the food bank. It has become so popular that this year, it’s expanding to food banks across Lanark County, including not only LCFB, but Lanark Highland Food Pantry, The Table
Community Food Centre and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. “...It’s been such a success – 2,800 pounds the first year to almost 4,100 last year. We know that total will be even greater this year,” noted Jeff Mills of Mills Community Support, urging gardeners to spread the word across the county. “...We have been getting out and have contacted each of the other three food banks – the one in Lanark Village, Smiths Falls, Perth – to include them, so this year you’re not only gardening and growing for CP, MM and Beckwith, but actually competing against all of Lanark County, so tell people.” Neighbhourhood Tomato volunteer Glennis Harwig highlighted the importance of growing local food and sustaining communities for the future. “If for any reason those tractor-trailers don’t come over those bridges from the (United)
Spruce Up For Spring!
States, we have but 48 hours of food on our shelves and then we start to grow hungry,” she pointed out. In its few years in existence, Neighbourhood Tomato has grown to include 32 plots in Augusta Park in Mississippi Mills and Harwig noted interest in their model has come from Beckwith, Carleton Place and Osgoode. “We’ve spread the word, we’re growing food and luckily, we’re taking care of each other because we grow food for ourselves, but we also grow food for the food bank,” she said, marveling at the more than 4,000 pounds of food collected through the Great Veggie Grow-Off in 2015. “...Those recipients were absolutely delighted. They prefer fresh food, they prefer giving their children fresh food, they prefer experimenting with new kinds of vegetables.” Harwig urged those in atten-
dance to lobby municipal council and members of parliament for access to more open space to grow food. “Let’s go for it. Let’s spread the Neighbourhood Tomato as far and wide as we possibly can. Let’s feed each other. Let’s

Festival of Small Halls expands local venue offering for 2016 The festival that brought big names in music to local communities last fall is getting bigger and better this year. After almost all of the shows in last year’s installment sold out, The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is expanding its scope and bringing internationally-renowned musicians to 23 rural gathering spaces. The celebration of exceptional live music is taking place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 2 in intimate settings to enliven those authentic spaces, attract visitors to new regions and build community. The new host communities this year stretch from Winchester to Elgin and from Burritt’s Rapids to Pakenham. Halls from last year are once again preparing to welcome the Festival of Small Halls such as Seeley’s Bay, Morton, Pembroke, McDonald’s Corners and more. Kelly Symes, festival co-ordinator, said welcoming big name musical acts to rural Ontario, while showcasing some great local talent, allows music

Ivy on William in Smiths Falls was one of the rural gathering spaces featured in last year’s Ontario Festival of Smalls Halls, which showcased smaller venues from throughout eastern Ontario and the Upper Ottawa Valley. Seen playing there are the East Pointers. Last year’s events were nearly sold out, prompting organizers to expand to include 23 rural gathering spaces in this year’s festival, set for Sept. 15 to Oct. 2 which will attract big names and local acts.

fans to experience a memorable evening of song and dance in gathering places residents hold near and dear. “We’re delighted to expand the festival to include nine more small halls this time around,” she said, noting that 30 new halls applied from across eastern Ontario. The additional venues were selected based on their history, charm and the eagerness of their volunteer teams. “The new venues will be wonderful places to see live music – including two barns, a legion hall, a United Church, a restored schoolhouse, and more.” Organizers of the Festival of Small Halls will soon be announcing dates and the big-name and local acts who will be taking center stage across eastern Ontario and the Upper Ottawa Valley, at the following venues: • Almonte Old Town Hall • Nick Smith Centre Hall, Arnprior • Joshua Bates Centre, Athens • Stonefields, Beckwith

somebody who needs it. What I say to other gardeners is, grow more for next year, the food bank needs it. And that’s why we managed to go up almost double the second year,” he stated. “Get the word to anybody that gardens. Grow a little bit extra. Grow a little bit more because there’s somebody who will eat it. You don’t have to worry about waste or feeding it to the chickens.” To show how serious he is, McLaughlin produced winter parsnips he had harvested, making them the first Mississippi Mills contribution of Great Veggie Grow-Off. “...I’m starting it off right now,” he said. “...There are winter crops, even in this cold climate. You put these guys in, even in the spring, harvest a few in November, they winter over and stay perfectly fresh and actually get sweeter.” He vowed to work with his Carleton Place counterpart, Louis Antonakos to spread the word of the challenge across the county, but remarked it might be futile. “Louis and I will get the word out to compatriots on Lanark County council to remind them that whether they know or not, they are now included and Mississippi Mills is the leader and we’re probably going to win again, because that’s just who we are,” he joked. Antonakos couldn’t resist getting in on the good-natured ribbing. “OK, OK. Last year, my colleague enlisted the help of scientists, local celebrities here today and now we are starting the competition off before it has even begun,” he remarked. “This is one impressive community we have to partner with and we’re so happy.” While he admitted he has never gone hungry, Antonakos knows the struggles his family had when they came to Canada from Europe. “...We all are so fortunate to have food right here in our hands and many don’t have that. So I think we need to remember that,” he stressed. “When people say we need to grow more food, that should resonate, especially some of the seniors here who might remember the Depression years...these things get passed on by our family. Those messages are very important.” Just one way Carleton Place is trying to put an end to food insecurity is through community gardens currently under construction at Market

Square, home of the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market. “We (town) think that’s a nice tie-in, farmers’ market and home-grown food,” he said, before adding “But we are going to beat MM this year. We know they’ve got scientists, local celebrities and vast parcels of wonderful land to grow, but we’re going to take you on, Shaun.” “The headline in the newspaper last year was ‘Mississippi Mills squashes the competition.’ I hope we just squeeze by this year,” remarked McLaughlin. “We’ll see!” added Antonakos. To formally launch the grow-off, Mississippi Mills master gardener Ed Lawrence christened the three new community garden boxes in front of the LCFB, planting two rows of turnips in one. “...I grew up and went to school with kids who came to school hungry so it does bother me...we have to think of the others. When I was a kid I was told ‘You’re not much brighter than a turnip,’
so to maybe prove that wrong, I’m going to plant some of these (turnip seeds),” he said. “The mayor from Mississippi Mills harvested today. I’m planting today,” added Lawrence. To get involved, simply harvest extra produce and bring it to your local food bank, where it will be weighed and added to your community’s tally. The collective communities’ support of the endeavour brought in 2,800 pounds of fresh produce to the Lanark County Food Bank in 2014, blowing that total out of the water last year with 4,081 pounds collected. Mississippi Mills earned the Great Veggie Grow-Off trophy, the Veggie Bowl, which accounted for 75 per cent of the produce donated (3,108). The grow-off traditionally kicks off May 1, International Workers’ Day. The final weigh-in to determine which community will earn bragging rights, will take place this October in conjunction with World Food Day.

Unforgettable evening of twist and jive and romantic oldies June 11 in Carleton Place Tara Gesner
tgesner@metroland.com
Get ready to go back in time to poodle skirts, bobby socks, bouffant hairdos and sideburns – the wonderful 1950s and 1960s. Carleton Place’s recreation and culture department proudly presents A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance in the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) on Saturday, June 11 from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. “Close your eyes...think Happy Days comes to Carleton Place,” wellknown local entertainer Jack Denovan said. Denovan, Bob White (senior facility operator) and Jessica Smith (community programmer) make up the event’s organizing committee. “Curly, Larry and Moe,” Denovan joked. “Jack, Jessica and I work very well together,” White added, “and we have worked together many times and on many events.” Guests can expect an old-fashioned good time as they dance to the music of The Heartbeats, a fabulous five-piece show band specializing in the nostalgic rock and roll music of the 1950s and 1960s. “When music was fun, exciting and easy to listen to,” Denovan said. Members of The Heartbeats have
been performing the golden oldies throughout the Ottawa Valley and the Outaouais for more than 25 years. “They put on a fantastic show that is bound to please – everyone,” Denovan said. “It is like a Vegas show.” Members of The Heartbeats normally change costumes with each set, to go with the era and genre of music they are performing. “They even do one set of ‘50s/’60s legends who have passed on: Ritchie Valens, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Del Shannon and more,” Denovan said. The group consists of Denny Welburn (lead guitar and vocals), Jean Coté (bass guitar and vocals), Richard Wills (drums & vocals), Roddy McCann (saxophone and vocals) and Pat Hallett (rhythm guitar and vocals). All proceeds from A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance will benefit the town’s 2016 Canada Day fireworks display, in an effort to make it even bigger and better. “And we already have an awesome fireworks display,” Denovan said. Tickets to A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance, which go on sale on May 12, are $20 each, and they are available at the following locations: Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office, SRC Music in Carleton Place, Carleton Place arena and

Guests can expect an oldfashioned good time as they dance to the music of The Heartbeats, a fabulous five-piece show band specializing in the nostalgic rock and roll music of the 1950s and 1960s. Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth. “Do not miss out!” White said. The organizing committee’s goal is to sell a minimum of 300 tickets, even though the upper hall seats 400. At the end of the night the members would like to bring in between $2,000 and $3,000. “There will be a light buffet: vegetables, cheese, cold meat, buns bun and more,” White said. “The bar will be open.”
The Carleton Place & District Civitan Club will manage a 50/50 draw. White noted other festivities include a kissing booth, bubble gum blowing and hula hoop contests, and prizes for the best twisters and jivers. Because the event is licensed, attendees must be 19 years of age or older. “Costumes are definitely encouraged but not mandatory,” White said. “However, I will be dressed up.”
“He is a showstopper!” Denovan joked. With the Ottawa Valley home to numerous country, jazz and blues performers, “this type of entertainment does not come along too often,” the emcee said. White noted the town has put on three ‘50s/’60s dances in the past. Freddy Vette and the Flames played twice and Eddy and the Stingrays performed once. Denovan was involved in each show – as the emcee. The Heartbeats have frequently performed at Rideau Carleton Raceway slots, which is where White first heard the group. Earlier this year he and wife Donna Marks went to the casino to meet Denovan and check out the band. “After two sets the contract was signed,” White said with a smile. “They really know how to have fun with the audience,” he added. Denovan first met the band when he was asked to help with a benefit. “We stayed in touch,” he said. The arena, located at 75 Neelin St., boasts plenty of free parking, an elevator for people with accessibility issues and an ATM machine in the main lobby. To learn more about The Heartbeats, visit www.heartbeatsband.ca. For additional information about A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance, contact Jessica Smith at 613-257-1704 or White at 613-229-0043.

Sixth annual Art in the Barn show and sale in Lombardy July 8-10 What better way to acquire an original work of art than directly from the artist and what better place to go than the sixth annual Art in the Barn Show and Sale July 8, 9 and 10 at the Lombardy Agricultural Society Fairgrounds just south of Smiths Falls on Highway 15 at Kelly’s Road.
Last year, Art in the Barn included more artists by expanding into the main hall as well as the barn of the fairgrounds and it is continuing to provide these two fun and relaxed atmospheres to meet with the artists and talk to them about their wide diversity of original artwork.
With an eclectic mix of original paintings in watercolour, acrylic, oil, ink and mixed media, batik, sculpture and photography as well as artisans showing fiber art, pottery, leather jewelry, bird carvings and wood working, you will be sure to find a rare piece that speaks to you.

COMMENTARY
Get growing!
P
ut that green thumb to work for your local community this summer. A story in this week’s issue details the launch of the third annual Great Veggie Grow-Off community challenge. For the past two years it has been dedicated to the Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills communities, who would grow fresh produce to benefit the Lanark County Food Bank, but this year it’s expanding to a whole new level. Not only will the Lanark County Food Bank continue to be involved, but the challenge will be open to the three other food banks in Lanark County – The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, Lanark Highlands Food Pantry in Lanark and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank – in an effort to feed those starving in the county. No one should ever have to go hungry and while food banks traditionally receive plenty of canned goods and boxed meals, often they are forced to grocery shop for staples to round out the food baskets of clients. Those include dairy, meat and eggs, as well as fresh produce. The latter is a welcome addition to food banks and often, unfortunately,
a luxury. The results of the Great Veggie Grow-Off speak for themselves. During its first year in 2014, 2,800 pounds of food were realized from Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills. That number nearly doubled last year with 4,081 pounds. An added perk: the community that grows the most produce earns the coveted Veggie Bowl trophy for the year. So, get growing. Pack up your extra produce and take it to your local food bank, where it will be added to your community’s tally. There are plenty of recreational and serious gardeners throughout Lanark County. Now’s the time to get behind your local food bank. When growing that row of lettuce or carrots, consider adding an extra one to harvest for those in need. It might mean some additional time plotting out your garden and harvesting, but the benefits are so much greater. It’s still spring, so it’s the perfect time to be thinking about how to maximize your garden and ensure everyone has access to fresh, local food.
Father endured long days on farm at this time of year Early in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs. He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready. The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields. Likely the binder would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before. Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area, and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the West Hill, he was in

another part of the country. He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.” On weekdays, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take the eleven quart basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite
a feast, I thought back then. And Father and I would share the lunch together. During the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the fields in the farthest reaches of our farm. My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores. There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out and made ready for the night, the calves and pigs to be fed, and fresh straw put in the stalls. My sister Audrey and I were expected to wash out the milk pails and the cream separator, put fresh cheesecloth under the lids of the milk cans, mak-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Ontario PC Party leader protests health care cuts DEAR EDITOR:
On Saturday, April 23, a historic health care rally occurred at Queen’s Park. Hundreds of physicians, patients, and other health care professionals joined together to protest the Liberal government’s gutting of Ontario’s health care system. We’ve seen the Wynne Liberals cut $815 million from physician services, $50 million from seniors’ physiotherapy services, $20 million from the assistive devices program, and 50 medical residency positions. We’ve also seen the government cut more than 2,000 children

This is a government that wasted $1 billion on the e-health scandal. This is a government that has let 39 per cent of every dollar for home care go towards administration and bureaucracy rather than frontline care. The Liberals are so desperate to spin these cuts that Health Minister Eric Hoskins tried

United Counties passes resolution in support of AMO policing report The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held on Thursday, April 21 at the administration office in Brockville. Counties council has passed a resolution supporting the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s (AMO) Police Modernization Report and its recommendations to ensure present and future challenges are met with rising policing costs. The resolution urges the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services to implement the AMO report’s recommendations. Counties council is also requesting the Ministry review the total remuneration of police officers in Ontario, including service pay, benefits and the arbitration system. The

without Father these nights. He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table. But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door. My sister Audrey would have to say Grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our supper meal. Long after we had eaten, and redded up the kitchen, and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see just a speck, and then I would see him coming over the West hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound. “He’s home,” I would yell. Everett would get up and go

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), a non-profit corporation of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC), manages Internet service contracts with

Based on the review findings, EORN and EOWC have negotiated the Master Business Internet Agreements with Bell Canada for the provisions of high-speed Internet services for municipalities. The agreement covers all municipalities and First Nation communities in eastern Ontario. In Leeds Grenville, there is an opportunity for municipalities to take advantage of lower pricing for Internet services. The agreement will only be used where there is an advantage to the counties, namely a reduction in monthly Internet costs. If the price is

And Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dustbin. He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water. I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black. He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off, and it would look like he didn’t have another ounce of strength in his body. Mother would put a steaming supper before him, and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample was the meal, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body. I used to think a long day in the fields made him look much older than he really was. At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper reading the paper,

with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back fields from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed. I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before, and would happen many days hence. Although I didn’t understand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land, and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days. And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father... that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going, and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

Clayton resident launches funding campaign to aid in battle with Lyme disease relief to know what’s going on,” she feels frustrated by the unfamiliarity Canadians doctors have with the disease. The profile of Lyme has been raised due to Canadian singer Avril Lavigne’s admission she has it, but there is still a long way to go, she said. “The doctors here, it’s not their fault. Every disease has a strict guideline to follow,” Baldwin said. “…But they are not treating Lyme here.” It’s been a tough battle, said Baldwin, who lives in Clayton village with her husband and hasn’t been able to work since 2009. “I can’t work…this affects your whole life – my family life, social life, career and marriage – I feel like my life was robbed from me,”
akulp@metroland.com
For much of Cindy Baldwin’s life, she’s experienced periods of unexplained sickness until a diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease began to make sense. The 41-year-old Clayton resident recently launched a YouCaring fundraising campaign in order to raise the necessary funds that will allow her travel to the United States for proper treatment. “Sadly, like so many dealing with Lyme and co-infections here in Canada, I cannot get the medical treatment I need and have to go to the USA,” she noted. “Cost of treatment is very expensive and it is all out of pocket.” Baldwin is hoping to raise $50,000, which is the minimum amount she’d need for treatment at centres in Boston or Tampa Bay. “It would pay for travel and my accommodations to stay somewhere while undergoing treatment.” “There’s no exact way to treat Lyme disease. It’s different for every patient,” she added. “…I could need three months of treatment or a year. I’ve heard people receiving treatment for up to three years.” That treatment could be anything from rounds of antibiotics, intravenous and herbal medicines, infrared saunas, pressure chambers and blood therapy. “Blood therapy cycles your blood,” Baldwin said. “They filter your blood through a machine and it goes back into you. Ultraviolet lights are used and kill whatever is in your blood.” According to the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme), which offers research funding for the disease and works to raise awareness, Lyme disease is an infectious illness caused by the bacteria of a tick. Symptoms of it can mirror a cold or flu, severe headaches, joint pain and fever. Due to the wide range of possible symptoms, it is often hard to diagnose. “Lyme disease is a challenge to diagnose and can be even tougher to treat,” states CanLyme’s website (www.canlyme.com). “Whether you have reason to suspect infection or you’ve just been diagnosed, it’s important to learn all you can about this complex illness.” “Lyme is the great imitator. It imitates Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus,” added Baldwin. “People have been diagnosed with these diseases and they actually have Lyme disease. It’s a problem in Canada.” Long road Baldwin said that since the age of four, she can remember experiencing many illnesses, including rashes and fatigue. “I was always tired. I had chronic fatigue, chronic

Baldwin is seeking to raise funds in order to accept treatment for her illness in the United States. pain and migraines,” she said. Her mother would take her to the doctor, who dismissed the symptoms as food allergies or attributed them to “growing pains.” She believes her Lyme disease could have been contracted at an early age. Having grown up on a farm outside of Metcalfe, Baldwin’s parents raised pigs, who often were covered in ticks. “My mom would pick the ticks off of us (Baldwin and her siblings),” she noted. “So I do have a history of tick bites at that age. After that, the strange illnesses started and the chronic pain.” “It was almost too much,” Baldwin continued. “I was the baby of four children and it was always me getting sick. It was extremely frustrating for my mom.” As she got older, her symptoms worsened, whether it was a constant sore throat, chemical sensitivity or strange rashes and sores. Baldwin’s condition also caused her to experience periods of insomnia, anxiety and depression. “My immune system would get strong enough again and keep it (Lyme) in remission, but then an illness would cause it to flare up again,” she explained. “…(The disease) lays dormant in your body then decides to attack when your immune system is weak.” She indicated that Lyme bacteria operates on a life cycle. The bacteria forms the shape of a corkscrew and makes its way into the soft tissue where it gives off toxins. Baldwin said it’s not abnormal for her to have weeks of poor health, where her whole body hurts and
suffers from migraines, but at the end of the cycle “the toxins come out of my body where my liver and kidneys try to flush it out. It’s six to eight weeks of hell. I call it my circle of hell.” In 2009, she hit a low point after being diagnosed with mononucleosis in 2009. “I haven’t been able to get back on the side of any type of wellness.” “I had a year of mono-like symptoms and wasn’t getting any better. My sister was watching W5 and they had a special on Lyme disease. A light bulb went off and she said ‘That’s Cindy,’” Baldwin continued. After years of visiting doctors and even receiving negative test results for Lyme disease in Canada (which is common, noted CanLyme), Baldwin was finally diagnosed in Plattsburgh, New York by Dr. Maureen McShane. McShane, who also suffers from chronic Lyme disease, lives in Montreal, but operates her clinic in the US. Formerly a general practitioner in Montreal, Baldwin said McShane couldn’t get the treatment she required for the disease and closed her practice to become a Lyme literate medical doctor. There was an opportunity to accept treatment through Dr. McShane, but Baldwin was hesitant given the long distance. “She’s so far away and some of the antibiotic treatments are so complex,” she noted. “This is strong, strong medicine and I didn’t feel comfortable being in Canada and on this medication and not having my doctor close by.” While Baldwin admitted, “it’s a

she said. It also isn’t easy for her to ask for help. “It took me so long because I feared judgment. When you’re sick, you’re vulnerable and it’s hard to ask for help,” she commented. “But it’s getting so bad, I need help.” Baldwin hopes she can start her treatments this spring or summer “the sooner the better,” she noted. Those wishing to help Baldwin in her quest to raise funds for medical treatment can visit: https:// www.youcaring.com/cindy-baldwin-525256. As YouCaring doesn’t give the option to donate using a debit card, those who wish can also send Baldwin an electronic money transfer to cbaldwin34@gmail.com.

Carleton Place Canadians’ ‘three-peat’ makes hockey history At the final buzzer sticks, gloves and helmets were hurled high in the air and the bench emptied as the victorious Carleton Place Canadians raced toward their own goal, surrounding triumphant goalie Colton Point. As the game ended the capacity crowd at Carleton Place and District Community Centre exploded in cheers, yelling and applause that quickly became deafening in the confined space. It’s a scene I have witnessed for three consecutive years. Always on home ice. Always on a Sunday afternoon in April! This time around Canadians scored a thrilling 3-2 victory over a very good Ottawa Junior Senators team to win the series and the trophy in the seventh and deciding game. The high-flying Canadians have accomplished something that’s happened just three times previously in the 55-year history of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL). Their “three-peat” makes them only the third team in league history to win three or more championship trophies in successive campaigns. Pembroke Lumber Kings, the winningest franchise in the eastern Ontario loop (14 titles) and the team every club in the league seeks to emulate, have done it twice. Lumber Kings went back-to-back-toback in 1987, 1988 and 1989. From 2007-201l, under the direction of the highly capable Sheldon Keefe, Pembroke captured five straight league titles. They capped that run with a Royal Bank Cup (RBC) national championship in 2011. Keefe went on to more success coaching Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League (Major Junior). Last off-season he was named head coach of Toronto Marlies, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs where he continues to excel. The only other CCHL club to capture three straight titles was the now defunct Cornwall Royals from 196668. Cornwall has another CCHL team, the Colts who have also experienced success since entering the league in 1988. Colts have captured the championship trophy, officially the Bogart-Nielsen Cup, five times. Their most recent title was in 2013. This week Carleton Place is in Woodstock, New Brunswick hoping to bring home a third straight Eastern Canadian Junior A championship. Their opponents in the Fred Page Cup (FPC) tournament are the host Woodstock Slammers of the Maritime Hockey League (MHL) along with Pictou County Weeks Crushers from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, champions of the MHL and College Francais de Longueuil, perennial champions of the Quebec Junior A league. Longueuil is a Montreal suburb. In a short tournament (May 4-8)
against strong opponents, winning the FPC won’t be easy! Clarke catalyst The chief architect of Canadians’ success is head coach, general manager and owner Jason Clarke. It is arguable that Clarke’s teams were favoured to win the CCHL title the past two seasons. The very talented 2013-2014 squad captured a first league trophy for the young franchise in April 2014. They went on to claim the club’s first FPC in St. Jerome, Quebec. Then Carleton Place shocked the Canadian junior hockey establishment, coming within an eyelash of winning the national title. They fell 4-3 in overtime to Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers in the 2014 RBC title game in Vernon, British Columbia. Carleton Place led the contest 3-1 late in the third period but Yorkton netted twice in just eight seconds to force the extra period. It is the only overtime game in RBC final history! With a solid nucleus of returning players Carleton Place was a heavy favourite in 2014-2015. They rolled to the CCHL title and then bested a good team from Dieppe, New Brunswick (a Moncton suburb) to claim a second straight Fred Page championship game. In so doing they earned back-to-back appearances at the RBC which, last May, was played in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Canadians qualified for the semifinals where they needed overtime to eliminate a strong Penticton Vees squad from the British Columbia Junior Hockey League (BCJHL). The next day a tired group of Carleton Place players faced another team of Terriers, this time from the host community. Portage thrilled the partisan crowd by easing past Canadians 5-2 to secure the 2014-2015 national Junior A crown. Sure, it was disappointing to come up short in the biggest game in Junior A hockey in consecutive years. But flip it around and consider this! Many teams never win their own league title, let alone two straight trophies along with back-to-back Eastern Canadian championships. Now the Canadians, in just their seventh campaign in Junior A hockey, have chalked up three consecutive CCHL championship victories. By any standard that’s an amazing run of success. Personally I don’t feel Carleton Place has received the kind of respect they have earned at the national level. For example, in the weekly national rankings posted by the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) they haven’t always received their due. During the previous two campaigns they often languished behind a number of teams who failed to emulate Canadians’ success in the regional and national playoffs. At one point last season I was

miffed enough to email my opinion to the Junior A powers-that-be in Calgary. The CJHL represents 10 Junior A leagues across Canada, some of which have entries in the northern United States as well. This season I did my best to track the weekly CJHL rankings. To my knowledge Canadians only made the Top 10 once. True, they didn’t post the kind of numbers they did in 2013-2014 (their best ever campaign) or equal the success of last season. But they still finished on top of the overall standings, albeit just a single point in front of Ottawa. Surely the previous two seasons, coupled with a third very successful run in 2015-2016 should mean more to those who compile the list? Admittedly teams from Western Canada have dominated Junior A hockey. In the 20 year history of the RBC, 15 of the winners have come from the west including seven from British Columbia alone. Vernon Vipers of the BCJHL have won the RBC four times. Previously the national championship trophy was the Manitoba Centennial Cup (19711995). Western teams also captured 18 of 25 Centennial Cup showdowns. Top winners Vernon (the team was called the Lakers in the 1990s) is the winningest franchise nationally. Lakers claimed two Centennial Cups meaning Vernon teams have six titles to their credit. B.C. leads the overall standings with an even dozen Canadian crowns. Ontario is tied with Saskatchewan for second with 10 Junior A titles apiece. Alberta teams have claimed eight crowns, Manitoba three while Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have one each. Strangely the Quebec league, which often produces very competitive teams, has never won at the national level. The only teams from the CCHL (previously Central Junior Hockey League) to win Canadian honours are the now defunct Rockland Nationals (they won the Centennial Cup on home ice in 1976) and Pembroke. Lumber Kings won the 2011 title in Camrose, Alberta blanking Vernon 2-0 in the final. Their goaltender that year, Francis Dupuis, who Kings obtained in a January trade with Carleton Place, was the MVP. As for Clarke and the Canadians,
the long-time hockey man shrugs off any suggestion that he has created a hockey dynasty in Carleton Place. But with five championships in his pocket in just nine years (two in Junior B and three in Junior A) there’s little wonder some in the regional media are attaching “dynasty” to stories about the hockey club. “The only dynasty is this league is Pembroke,” Clarke told me, pointing to Lumber Kings’ five straight titles under Keefe. Personally I think it’s smart to play it low key. Clarke has never been a braggart. His approach is to play a game at a time, a month at a time and a season at a time. Based on my considerable experience with him, he doesn’t look backward or forward. In February, with his Canadians in the midst of a slump related directly to several injuries to key players, I asked Clarke how he was feeling with the season quickly winding down and first place overall on the line. “They hand out the championship trophy in April, not in February,” he observed dryly. Clearly truer words were never spoken! If you talk to long-time Carleton Place fans the first thing you are
likely to hear is that they fear Clarke will follow the same path as Keefe, moving up to coach Major Junior and eventually entering professional coaching ranks. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. He has earned the opportunity and surely he is on a number of watch lists? At the nail-biting seventh game of the CCHL championship series against Ottawa I sat next to Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, a long-time friend. When it was over and we stood applauding the cheering with the rest of Canadians’ ardent supporters I told Jerry, “We are watching local sports history here. How many consecutive trophies can one team win?” The answer will come later this week at the FPC in New Brunswick. Carleton Place plays their second round-robin game this afternoon. Win or lose in this tournament the Carleton Place Canadians have already written their names in Eastern Ontario hockey history. Their winning streak is a rare and special occurrence and something everyone in the community should be proud of!

The Carleton Place Canadians were given a royal send-off at the Neelin Street Community Centre on April 30. The Canadians are off to compete for the Fred Page Cup, after claiming the Bogart Cup on April 24, following a thrilling game seven victory over the Ottawa Junior Senators. The event featured a barbecue and road hockey. Above, four-yearold Kiera Kavanagh danced happily during the event.

UCDSB trustees talk budget, First Nations education, Learning Commons at meeting The following are highlights from the April 27 meeting of Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) trustees at the board office in Brockville. Director of education Stephen Sliwa presented an update to trustees on First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) education within the board. As a follow-up to a discussion on FNMI education in December, Sliwa told trustees the board has taken several steps to support this important branch of education. Those efforts have included: a visit by senior administrators and trustees to a board meeting of the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk Board of Education as part of an overall effort to invest in a productive and respectful relationship with the Akwesasne community; a letter from chair Jeff McMillan to Education Minister Liz Sandals offering recommendations in regards to FNMI education; and sponsorship of two upcoming Truth and Reconciliation Commission +1 meetings. The regional meetings, to be held next month at Naismith Memorial Public School in Almonte and Rothwell-Osnabruck School in Ingleside, will include learning sessions with indigenous elders and knowledge keepers, and a facilitated discussion on what reconciliation means. South Crosby Public School presentation Principal Monique Antoine-Hartley reported on how her school is using its School Improvement Plan for Student Achievement (SIPSA) to increase student literacy and math skills. The school is using techniques such as shared reading, guided reading and modelled writing to improve literacy skills, and math strategies such as the use of math talk and three-part lesson plans to improve
math scores. Long-term accommodation projections report Superintendent of district alignment Phil Dawes presented a report on the number of student spaces the board will need between now and 2030. The report concentrated on three key factors including: the current and 15-year projected enrolments for UCDSB schools; the projected availability of school spaces during the same period; and projections of each school building’s condition and costs relating to its on-going maintenance and repair.

It reflects an anticipated in-year deficit of $720,380, a significant improvement since the superintendent’s Revised Budget report in January 2016. Barkley said the 20152016 budget remains ministry compliant while allowing the board to focus on its key goals of student achievement and student well-being.

‘Meet the North’ with Jennifer Kingsley at MVFN Spring Gathering 2016 The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists, a local member of the Ontario Nature Network will hold their seventh annual Spring Gathering on May 19 at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall. The evening will feature a banquet and a keynote presentation by award-winning naturalist and journalist Jennifer Kingsley. Kingsley first met the north on long canoe trips, and is the author of Paddlenorth: Adventure, Resilience, and Renewal in the Arctic Wild, winner of a top prize at the 2015 National Outdoor Book Awards. Her work as a broadcast journalist has been recognized by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. In 2015 Jennifer Kingsley founded the “Meet the North” project, and during the past year, as field correspondent for Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic she has undertaken a remarkable journey – from home in Ottawa, to Europe, Svalbard (an Norwegian archipelago), Iceland, Greenland and towns in the Canadian Arctic – to understand the ecology, the culture, and most importantly the people of remote and northern lands which are increasingly the focus of global attention. In her presentation “Meet the North: Life in the Arctic, One Introduction at a Time,” Kinglsey will take us on a journey around the top of the world with stories you won’t find in

Condominium investors in Vancouver and Toronto display stable characteristics over time. Most are small-scale investors that own only one secondary unit, nearly one-half purchased their last secondary unit for rental income and most expect to own their investment property for more than five years, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) 2015 Condominium Owners Survey (COS) released recently. The annual report, focused on the Vancouver and Toronto Census Metropolitan Areas, includes survey insights on what motivates condo purchases, how long owners hold onto their units, and the mortgagefinancing profile of condominium owners whose primary dwelling is a freehold or condominium unit but who also own at least one secondary condominium unit. These households are referred to in the report as

The topic of foreign ownership in Canada’s housing markets continues to gain in importance and attention. In line with its commitment to sharing insightful information as it becomes available, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) released its latest Housing Market Insights (HMI) report on this recently. The report looks at the share of foreign ownership by the age of structure and is meant to be read in tandem with CMHC’s fall 2015 HMI report on Foreign Ownership. Findings reveal that share of foreign ownership is most prominent in new condominium apartment structures in Toronto and to a lesser extent in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs). The share of foreign ownership is most prominent in the newer structures in Toronto Centre. “The really interesting thing about this report is
COS investors. Highlights of the report include: • Results are very stable over surveys. • Nearly one-half of COS investors purchased their last secondary unit for rental income. • About 60 per cent plan to hold onto their last purchases unit for more than five years versus eight per cent planning to sell their unit in less than two years. • Nearly three-quarters have only one unit and roughly 90 per cent do not plan on buying new units in year following the survey. • Fifty-six per cent expect their units to appreciate, 35 per cent do not expect a significant change and five per cent anticipate a decrease in value. • The share of COS investors with a mortgage on their last purchased unit (at the time of the survey) stood at 53 per cent. This is slightly below the share
the insight it provides into foreign ownership of condominiums in Canada by age of structure,” stated Bob Dugan, CMHC chief economist. “For example, in the downtown core of Toronto, we know that, in buildings completed since 2010, about 10 per cent of those units are owned by foreign buyers. This compares to about 2.3 per cent for units completed during the 1990s. This represented another piece in the puzzle of foreign investment in Canada. It remains a top priority for CMHC to continue to get more information on foreign investment in Canada’s housing market.” In the Toronto CMA, the share of foreign ownership is less than two per cent for buildings completed before 1990 and seven per cent for newer constructions completed since 2010. This effect is even more pronounced in Toronto Centre, where about 10 per cent of the newer stock

At this time, no existing tool can provide a definitive measure of the level of foreign investment in Canada’s housing markets. That said, CMHC regularly engages in discussions internally, as well as with industry experts, as part of its continued efforts to develop a program of work that would better capture data on foreign buyers.

Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5: The Musical romps into Studio Theatre June 2 Workin’ nine to five, what a way to make a livin’, Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’. They just use your mind, and they never give you credit, It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it! Who can believe it’s been 36 years since those words and that music burst onto North American movie screens? And who didn’t get swept up in the story of three friends who go to war with their chauvinistic, dim-witted boss? The movie struck a chord with everyone who saw it. On June 2, the Broadway musical version of 9 to 5 will strike a chord all over again, right here in Perth. “I’m crazy-thrilled about being able to bring 9 To 5: The Musical to Perth!” says C. Lee Bates, the gifted director who has perennially capped off the Studio Theatre’s season of plays with musicals like Little Women: The Musical and The Drowsy Chaperone. “The Broadway show was written by Patricia Resnick – who also wrote the movie – and of course the music is by the great Dolly Parton”, says C. Lee. “There are rhythmic and key changes in almost every song, with musical styles from country and pop to gospel and funk. If you loved the movie, you’ll be wild about the musical!”

9 to 5: The Musical in rehearsal: Left to right, Jeff Kohl boss under threat by Judy (Lauren Bailey) in her fanplays Frank Hart, the big bad boss, while Violet (Lind- tasy-come-to-life. The show premieres June 2 at the say Rewi) and Doralee (Cait Morton) enjoy seeing the Studio Theatre in Perth for eight performances. When 9 To 5: The Musical opened on Broadway it received a record 15 Drama Desk and four Tony Award nominations. While it’s very much a
light-hearted comedy, the subtext of message palatable, but still hard-hitgender inequality is still relevant to- ting. day. Like the movie, it uses humour With 17 cast members and a full and satire to make a powerful social 10-piece orchestra, C. Lee Bates says
this show is one of the most ambitious ever mounted by Studio Theatre Productions. “We have four leads, two featured performers, and an 11-member ensemble, all incredibly talented and experienced musical theatre performers. And what’s a musical without great music? We’re thrilled to have an orchestra of 10 professional musicians, assembled by Mark Bailey and led by conductor Alexandra Guerin.” Other production credits go to Jane Stott, producer; Leah Williams, vocal director; and choreographer/ performer Courtney Mason. The set is designed by C. Lee Bates and Reiner Silberhorn, and brought to life by a gifted team of builders, painters and scenic designers. Don’t miss this super-energized, terrifically entertaining show when it premieres at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street East, on Thursday, June 2 for eight performances only. Advance tickets are $25 (cash) at The Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E., and at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca) and Shadowfax (shadowfax.on.ca) both of which accept credit cards and charge a convenience fee.

We encourage everyone to be aware of their surroundings, the pos-
sible risks and consider what you can do to prepare yourself and your family including pets before an emergency occurs. It is not uncommon every year that there are seasonal extreme weather events such as winter storms that we likely can forecast, and severe summer weather that can develop quickly. These weather events can cause power outages, delays in delivery of supplies including food,
and dangerous travel conditions. It is important to have an emergency kit that can sustain your family for a minimum of 72 hours to help you through times when services may not be readily available. When creating your kit consider sufficient amounts of non-perishable food that can be prepared without cooking, a supply of bottled water, first aid kit, clothing and blankets.

Stakeholders welcome to engage in Canadian conversation around sustainable beef The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) was created in 2014 to help advance sustainability in the Canadian beef industry and address consumer interest in where their food comes from and how it is raised. One of the CRSB’s areas of work focuses on developing a meaningful Sustainable Sourcing Framework; this work is being led by two of the CRSB’s multi-stakeholder
committees. “We have over 90 members and observers, who have a common vision to advance the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the Canadian beef industry,” noted Cherie Copithorne-Barnes, Canadian cattle rancher and chair of the CRSB. “We are working hard to set the framework for sustainable beef in Canada and welcome others to join us. One
strength of the CRSB is the broad representation of perspectives at the table, which allows us to have invaluable discussions on complex topics.” The Sustainable Sourcing Framework consists of indicators and assurance protocols, and is organized around the five global principles for sustainable beef: 1) Natural Resources; 2) People and the Community; 3) Animal Health and Welfare; 4) Food;

Comedy duo Key and Peele turn absurd storyline into complete hilarity MOVIE: Keanu STARRING: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte and Luis Guzman DIRECTOR: Peter Atencio RATING: 14A Keanu is the story of what one man and his cousin are willing to do to rescue a kitten that’s been stolen by drug dealers. Seriously, that’s what Keanu is about. It’s absurd, but it totally works. We open on a church taken over by a gang using it to make and sell drugs.

In walk two obviously dangerous individuals who begin shooting everyone. It’s a stunning action scene akin to something out of The Matrix or Hard Boiled. In the midst of it all is a small kitten who escapes the carnage. Looking for a home the kitten finds himself on the doorstep of Rell (Jordan Peele). Having recently been MARK HASKINS dumped by his girlfriend Rell immediately takes in the small animal, and commiserate, and take Rell out for a names him Keanu. Not long after movie. his cousin and best friend Clarence When they get back Rell’s place has (Keegan-Michael Key) comes over to been trashed, and Keanu is missing.
The police come, but offer little help. Rell goes next door to his neighbour and dealer Hulka (Will Forte) to see if he knows anything. It turns out a street gang looking for Hulka might have mixed up the address. There’s no way Rell is going to leave Keanu in the hands of drug dealers. So logically Rell and Clarence, two unassuming middle class guys, decide to infiltrate a hard core street gang to save a kitten. Ya, that makes sense. The absurdity of Keanu is mind blowing. If you saw the idea on pa-
per there’s no way you would make this into a feature film. Yet this is one of the funniest action-comedies I’ve seen. These guys can draw you right in to whatever they’re doing. You believe it even to the point where taking on a street gang to rescue a kitten makes a kind of sense, and yet deep down you know it’s crazy. Yet you want it to happen because it’s suddenly the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. As a huge fan of Key and Peele I

Fiery flamenco comes to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre May 28 When Marta and Richard Moir bring their music to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre on May 28, it will be almost a homecoming for them. Based in Montreal, Perth is just a hop and a step away, compared to venues such as New Delhi, Dubai, Moscow, Athens, Australia, Spain and Romania, where they have played. Concerts Flamenco, as the Moirs are billed, have toured the world with their brand of traditional flamenco music and everywhere they have played, the critics have raved over their performances. The Mexican newspaper Por Esto! exclaimed, “Constant applause…confirmed the quality and beauty of Spanish folklore…Marta and Richard provided it with real professionalism and emotion, winning an enthusiastic audience. The atmosphere in the (theatre) on Saturday night was excitingly flamenco…an unforgettable evening.” In Greece, the Patros newspaper said, “The spectators enjoy as much the magic of the flamenco music as the passion of the artists.” And that’s what flamenco is all about: passion. Flamenco music, as a form, has roots that go back many centuries, to a time when southern Spain was dominated by the Moorish people. The Middle Eastern influences on the native music of southern Spain, combined with
magical rhythm of the Spanish guitar” from a Russian newspaper. They have taken their music to parts of the world where flamenco has its beginnings – India, the Middle East and Europe – but they have also ventured to places where the music is a new flavour. As if that didn’t take enough courage, they have even performed a concert at Castle Bran – also known as Dracula’s Castle – although that show was in the afternoon, not at night. Concerts Flamenco will perform on May 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets Submitted photo are available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth, 613-267-6817 or at
Fiery Flamenco at Full Circle Theatre: Montreal’s Marta and Richard Moir bring their world-travelled flamenco music to Perth on May 28. The duo has played across the globe, from Canada to Spain, from Australia to India and even – as pictured here – at Castle Bran, which once belonged to Dracula! The couple’s has been praised everywhere, even in Spain, itself. those of Spain’s Jewish population and the Indian influence of the Romany people came together to create a distinctive and instantly recognizable sound. The name itself has a number of theories about its origin, some thinking it comes from an Arabic word describing the exiled state of its Jewish and Romany performers and some thinking it simply describes the fiery passion in the music.
Marta and Richard have that passion in abundance and it is reflected in their music. They concentrate mostly on two of the three aspects of flamenco, toque (guitar) and cante (the voice), although Marta, who is from Spain originally, has been known to give an occasional display of baile or dance. “Marta and Richard Moir from Canada… make hearts beat in unison…to the

was pretty excited when I heard they were making a movie. Needless to say they did not disappoint. KeeganMichael Key has such incredible expression, and an uncanny ability to flip from suburban speak to street speak, Jordan Peele has wicked delivery, and drops some of the funniest lines to grace any action or comedy movie. When they’re together they know no bounds and know no limits.
www.shadowfax.on.ca. While Concerts Flamenco heats up the stage, the Full Circle Theatre is preparing a set of hot productions for the summer, as BarnDoor Productions rehearses a series of musicals to mark Perth’s 200th Anniversary. From a “drama with music” about Perth’s famous duel in June to an “evening of harmony, comedy and sobriety” about Perth’s 19th century Temperance Movement in July to a “musical chiller” about nefarious doings at Rideau Ferry in 1830, it’s a once in a life-time series of shows. All the details are at www. barndoorproductions.ca. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions
Key and Peele take up most of the screen time, but they also surround themselves with a great supporting cast. Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte, Nia Long, and Luis Guzman all commit, and are fantastic. Keanu isn’t just a great comedy. They pull out all the stops to make a wicked action movie.

New regulations for safety standards certificate kick in July 1 It surprises many to see vehicles on the road that are in need of some serious repairs. Our current government vehicle inspection system only requires that most passenger cars and light trucks receive a check-over when they change owners. New regulations for the Ontario Safety Standards Certificate begin on July 1 of this year. This set of rules hasn’t received any serious updates for decades and the new list of standards and items inspected is bound to catch a lot of consumers and shops off guard. Fortunately for licensed garages, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has been holding townhall style meetings this spring with technicians and shop operators to educate everyone about the new rules. One change that will please plenty of drivers on the road is the new rules on High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. These very bright lights with their distinctive white-blue hue have been optional equipment on a number of higher end vehicles for over a decade. But the problem that bugs most drivers occurs when vehicle owners
install HID bulbs in vehicles that were never designed to take them. These modifications usually result in a wide wash of extremely bright and unfocused light that blind oncoming drivers. Starting on July 1, vehicles that have been equipped with HID lights after they were manufactured will no longer meet Ontario Safety Standards. So in the event of an inspection for change of ownership, they will have to be reverted to their normal lamps and if a police officer pulls one over for a roadside check an order can be issued to rectify the lights. Cracks in windshields are something that a lot of drivers take for granted and sometimes take more time than they should to rectify. When you consider that on most passenger vehicles the windshield can provide up to 50 per cent of the structural strength of its roof in a rollover, driving with a cracked windshield is a risky affair. When a vehicle with a cracked windshield rolls onto its roof, the roof is very likely to collapse faster and farther into the passenger compartment

than it would if the glass was undamaged. If you do your own seasonal tire changeovers and forgot to mark the location of each wheel when you took off the summers, you can easily determine the direction of rotation with your hand. With today’s modern tire design and manufacturing processes, it’s not the end of the world if you do put them on the wrong side, but you will get the maximum life and performance from them if you keep them on the same side of the vehicle and only rotate them from front to rear. With the tire/wheel’s outer side facing you, run your hand flat and clockwise over the tread (in the direction it travels, not side to side). If it feels smoother in the clockwise direction compared to the counter-clockwise movement, you have a left side tire in front of you. If you have

directional tires on your vehicle, the tire maker has taken all the guess work out of this by imprinting an arrow on the sidewall indicating which way it should rotate. These types of tires should never have their rotation direction reversed. If you’re not sure which set to put on the front or rear, a good rule to follow for frontwheel drive vehicles is to put the tires with the deepest tread on the rear. When you do switch over tires, take the time to inspect the area on the wheel hub where the centre of the wheel rim fits. Also check the corresponding area on the wheel
rim. Look for any rust buildup and if you find any, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove it all. Any rust, grit, or hard deposits can prevent the wheel from running true and may cause vibrations. It’s also a good idea to brush a little copper-based grease on the hub mounting point to make it easier to remove the wheel for the next tire change or in the case of a roadside blow-out. If you ever have to use some extreme force to remove a rusted-on wheel and don’t have a heavy hammer handy, lower the vehicle off the jack with the wheel nuts partially on. Then try rocking the vehi-

to please my master as that usually means lots of praise and maybe treats. I am very bright, curious and I will catch on to training quickly as long as you are consistent with me. Playing ball is one of my very favourite pastimes, it hardly wears me out. I do however also enjoy sitting beside you, leaning in to you for some good back scratches after a tiring day. I love all the affection I can get. Because I still need more training and since I am very strong I might walk over little children. So living in a home with older kids would be better at this time. A potential adopter needs to be familiar with my kind of breed and be willing to take the time for me as I need more socialization. I like to further improve myself in obedience and leash skills. I am sure if you help me with all of that I can be your very loyal friend for life. Hope there is someone out there to give me a chance.

What goes around comes around: The evolution of music, stereo equipment buses or hiking in some hinterland, I could have my music along to make just about anything that much better. Technical evolution to digital has made a lot of these remnant cassette machines obsolete, especially the two double-cassette decks in the pictured stacks but, in their day, those machines allowed me to create mixed tapes and copy them easily. Every time I see a BIC pen shaft I harken back to the preamble of first inserting it in one of the cassette wheels and gently turning, while holding the other wheel still, to take the slack out of the tape, then visually lining up the leader tape to maximize recording length. Every Christmas I made probably 40 to 50 copies of that year’s mix. This allowed me to ‘turn on’ friends and family to music they would normally not have ever heard. It took hours and hours but, for me, it was time well spent as the results gave diverse musical introductions to those I gave them to. Sitting on top of the right stack of equipment, in the picture, sits my old Sanyo portable cassette stereo, complete with separating speakers, a built-in equalizer and the impetus for more parties on the road than I’ll ever remember. I had a locking metal box with foam inside made to transport it safely. It went with me everywhere, to conferences, hockey team trips, meetings, holidays, in more hotel rooms around North America than I could ever remember, providing the background and sometimes the dance music to make many a party successful. If that machine could talk… Now here’s the funny part. After trying to sell these two stacks of gear at a yard sale last year, the Sanyo being the only sale to a young lad on my street who knew he could plug his CD player into the auxiliary plugs, I made a last stop before heading to an electrical recycler with a trunk load to a local retro music store who
traded it all for a lovely, gently-used turntable so I can now listen again to my phonographs! What goes around, comes around. My listening continues. Upcoming events • Friday, May 6: Carlos Del Junco at Sharbot Lake Country Inn. Dinner and show is $55. This eight-time
winner of the Maple Blues Award for harmonica will amaze with his intricate playing and musicianship. I love his shows. Call Sandra at 613-2792198 for reservations. • Saturday, May 7: Petunia at The Cove at 7 p.m. with Ali McCormick opening. Petunia’s music is described by some as Hank Williams on acid, a truly unique presentation that will bring vaudeville, yodelling, swing and quirky tunes to a creative, unforgettable performance. I’ve witnessed and become a believer in Petunia. • Friday, May 13: Harrison Kennedy at The Cove in the final of the Blues on the Rideau series of the season. Harrison’s latest CD just

I cleared out most of my previously used stereo equipment from our attic a while ago. The resulting two stacks of electronic gear brought back many fond memories. Music has always been an essential element of my life, so, like a good recipe, I’ve always loved to share the music I enjoy. I still remember getting my first brand-spanking new stereo in 1975 from AJM Electronics on Yonge Street in Toronto. My brother, Drew, worked there so I bought a 25 watt stereo receiver/amplifier and a pair of custom, in-store built, speakers with wood cabinets I still use today. I can still feel the thrill and satisfaction I first felt when I set them up in my apartment in Burlington, hooking my turntable to it and sitting back admiringly, thinking I had created my own paradise, right there in my living room. My record collection got lots of airplay as it was on whenever I was home, either listening myself or sharing artists with friends and family. Though I usually travelled, back then, with favourite phonograph records packed in my luggage, they weren’t really portable so when compact cassettes came out in the early ‘70s, their portability took me and the world by storm. Being able to record my albums onto cassettes and play on the car tape deck I’d had installed, (and them not skipping when you hit a bump), opened up my world of musical listening enjoyment. This gave me the opportunity to start making my own custom compilation cassettes for road trips or just cruising, each with 90 minutes of music, thus also avoiding having to listen to commercials on radio. When the Sony Walkman came out in 1979, again, portability with good sound allowed us to put on our headphones and enjoy our own custom soundtrack wherever we were. Whether travelling on trains, planes,

Theatre Night in Merrickville takes a trip to Scotland Got Events? Ghost stories are not new to Merrickville, pretty well every old house in the village has a story or two to tell which makes Theatre Night in Merrickville (TNIM) production of the heartwarming comedy Hamish by Michael Grant all the more appropriate. “I found this play in a Theatre Ontario anthology of fulllength plays,” said Margaret Shearman, director. “I really liked it and it’s written by a Canadian who actually went to Scotland to research the play.” Set in the Scottish Highlands, Hamish is about a young Canadian wife, Kelli who books a trip for her overworked lawyer husband, Gordon and herself to his ancestor’s former homestead in the Scottish highlands. She plans to announce some big news in the romantic setting, but they soon discover they are not alone. A long deceased ancestor is still wandering the rooms of the old homestead. Together with a few of the locals, the couple coached by the ghost find themselves embroiled in saving the old homestead from a rival clan and preserving it in the family name. “The ghost is an interesting part, because it can be played in so many different ways,” said Stef Robar, who plays Hamish. Only one person (and the audience) can see the ghost, which inevitably sets the stage of some great laughs.

Not only is Hamish ‘invisible’ to all but his next of kin, but he’s over six feet tall and dressed in a great kilt. “We had a challenge finding a great kilt, but Dave Williams, a TNIM member and a former professional piper has been helping us out,” said Shearman. A great kilt, explained Williams, unlike a running kilt is nine yards of tartan pleated in situ and held with a broad belt. It is a full-length garment in two layers so that the upper potion can be thrown over the shoulder like a cape or flipped up over the head like a cowl. “The great kilt dates back to the 16th century and it didn’t disappear until the late 1950s, now it’s mostly the walking kilt that you see today,” said Williams. Needless to say, with that much fabric and that many pleats the author couldn’t resist. “There is quite a bit of kilt humour,” confirms Bronwen McKnight, producer. The play opens at the Merrickville Community Centre on Friday, May 13 and runs until Sunday, May 15. Performances on Friday and Saturday start at 8 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Governor General’s wife attends Defeat Depression Walk at St. Mike’s Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Her boots were made for walking. Her Excellency Sharon Johnston, wife of David Lloyd Johnston, the 28th Governor General of Canada, took part in the Defeat Depression Walk at St. Michael Catholic High School on April 25. The entire student body – totaling approximately 700 kids – took part in the fundraiser, which brought in $1,500 for Children’s Mental Health of Leeds and Grenville and the Mood Disorder Society of Canada. Each student collected sponsorships to take part in the walk. The St. Mike’s senior band performed for Johnston and Lay Chaplain Mary Defayette led the students in prayer. “I am deeply grateful that you invited me to walk with you today,” said Johnston. She explained raising successful five daughters teaches you a thing or two about mental health. “And on the walk, I am very approachable – I don’t bite – I hope that you’ll talk to me, and tell me what mental health means to you.” “You are the future of our nation; but we need you now and we need you tomorrow,” she continued. “Thank you for joining me in this walk to defeat depression. It’s a terrible burden for a child, or adoles-

cent, to wake up every morning feeling sad.” She raised her daughters in a time when there was no social media. “As a family, we ran an annual Terry Fox run for cancer,” said Johnston. “Now my grandchildren are running or walking for mental health.” Times have changed, she explained. “We live in a fast moving society, with high expectations,” she said. “This leads to depression and anxiety in schools.” The Empower App, through the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, is just one example of how schools are taking on a leadership role in mental health, she explained. “Two taps on an iPhone and help is available,”

she said. “In fact, I sent a tap and said Sharon Johnston is crying in the hallway. They gave me a Kleenex.” This is the third year St. Mike’s has participated in the Defeat Depression campaign, which is a board-wide initiative to tackle the stigma surrounding mental health issues. “The first year, all 10 high schools across the board participated and some elementary schools,” explained Michelle Neville, mental health leader for the CDSBEO. “All 42 of our schools participated the second year.” She explained the students and staff at each school come together to choose an event or activity to raise funds for a local mental health charity. “Twenty five per cent of the

The Mood Disorder Society also partners with the CDSBEO on the Elephant in the Room campaign. “The idea is kids see the elephant and it opens a dialogue,”

said Neville. She explained every school across the CDSBEO has a mental health team on site and when surveyed they said the three biggest issues affecting students are anxiety, depression and addiction. “We are very proud of the programs we offer our students,
such as the Empower App,” said Principal Richard James. “We are also very proud of the amount of guest speakers we’ve had this year talking about mental health.” He said the tradition of hosting guest speakers and raising awareness about mental health will continue at St. Mike’s. “Your local furniture & appliance showroom.”

“Violent crime, as you’ll see here, this first chart shows violent crime for the past five years, from 2011 to 2015,” said Bolton. “The downward trend, as you can see this line, is the linear line. It’s very common to have peaks, if you will. The key is to focus on this line, as to whether we’re seeing an upward or downward trend. So the chart dictates that.” In 2012 there were 119 incidents of violent crime. The next year, there were 103. In 2015, there were 72 incidents of violent crime. “The assaults will include common assault, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm,” said Bolton. “Looking at this, you can see we have a downward trend.” In 2011, there were 44 assaults. The following year, there were 43. In 2015, there were 37 assaults in North Grenville. “Looking at sexual assaults, again your trend there is a downward trend,” he said. Other crimes against a person, the most common of which is criminal harassment, are also down from previous years. In 2012, there were 40 other crimes against a person. In 2013, there were 29. In 2015, there were 17 other crimes against a person. Property crimes are also on a downward trend, Bolton explained. In 2011, there were 300 incidents of property crime. In 2012, there were 289. In 2015, that figure is down to 264.
“The three main types of property crimes are theft under ($5,000), mischief and break and enter,” said Bolton. The trend of fraud crimes in North Grenville are on the rise, explained Bolton. “This is not only North Grenville, but it’s a Grenville County wide trend – we see an increase in fraud,” said Bolton. “This is truly the result of the time we live in. With that, a lot more internet fraud, telephone fraud and so forth, which has increased. These types of investigations, due to technical sophistication and jurisdiction issues, they can present investigative challenges. The key for this being aware that if someone is on the phone asking you for personal information, do not provide that information; you don’t know who you’re talking to.” In 2011, there were 37 incidents of fraud in North Grenville. The following year, there were 41. In 2015, that figure reached 46. “Illegal drug crime is predominantly a proactive policing activity,” said Bolton. He explained there is significant leg work involved in obtaining drug warrants to execute searches. “In 2015, three residential locations in North Grenville were locations where drug warrants were executed,” said Bolton. “With this, there were seven individuals charged with drug trafficking and production charges, in relation to those warrants. And a total of 625 grams of marijuana, 470 grams of cocaine and 15 grams of ecstasy was seized.” The community safety officer, Constable Cathy Lindsey, continues to be active with presentations to the local schools to generate
more drug awareness, he explained. “Giving the youth alternatives, as opposed to drugs,” said Bolton. The number of RIDE programs in North Grenville has increased significantly, from 107 in 2011 to 171 in 2015. “We’ve had an increase in RIDE’s since 2011,” said Bolton. “RIDE program is designed to be a deterrent, which I believe it has.” The Community Safety and Wellness initiative, which began in North Grenville and spread to the rest of the county due to its success, continues to provide residents best resources. “What this program is; when an officer is involved responds to a call and they’re dealing with a person or the families where there is definitely some potential risk, and there isn’t some sort of intervention or support system put in place, the officer will make that referral to the (Community Safety and Wellness) review team. Partners on this review team would be Victims Services, Leeds and Grenville Mental Health and Addictions, housing is there. We have youth groups there. As a result of the referrals, those individuals in need, or families in need, get some support.” In North Grenville, there were 12 cases referred to the review team. “Eleven of those cases, 91 per cent saw a rapid reduction in calls for service,” said Bolton. “So that is definitely an excellent indicator that the program is working.” “When it comes to policing, this is a very safe community,” said Mayor David Gordon.

Bob Perry Memorial Golf tournament aims to raise $100,000 for KDH Foundation with Chevy truck raffle July 15 could be your lucky day. The Bob Perry Memorial Golf tournament is raffling off a pearl white 2016 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado crew cab fourwheel drive truck in support of the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation. There are 1,000 tickets up for grabs, at a cost of $100 each. And they’re selling fast. “This will allow us, thanks to our generous community sponsors, to hand a check to the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation for $100,000,” said Jim Perry, owner of Jim Perry Motor Sales in Kemptville. He explained the cost of the truck, valued at $49,573, was covered within a couple weeks of calling around to local private sponsors and businesses. “Last year, on May 28, my father (Bob Perry) died,” said
Perry. “Every year, we attend and sponsor the Carol Durie Memorial Golf Tournament in support of the hospital. Mary Boucher (director of development for the KDH Foundation) and Harry Pratt (local business leader) asked me if I would hold a Bob Perry Memorial Golf Tournament the next year.” The Bob Perry Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at the eQuinelle Golf Club and Rideau Glen Golf Course on July 15, at which time the draw will be held for the truck. Already, over 200 people have registered for the tournament. “It was Harry’s idea to have a truck raffle,” said Perry. “Harry was supposed to be the one to put it on, but he passed away from cancer at the end of last year.” He explained his grandfa-
ther, Norm Goldberg, was one of the original founders of the Kemptville District Hospital in 1958. “That’s why Harry wanted to involve me,” said Perry. “That’s why I decided to do the truck raffle. After our first meeting, we decided in order for us to be able to give the hospital $100,000 we had to have enough sponsors to pay for the truck. We were able to pull that off in a couple of weeks, thanks to our generous sponsors.” Tickets are available at Jim Perry Motor Sales, the KDH Foundation office, Motor Trends ad Class Axe. “We’ve sold about 200 tickets just in the first week,” he said. “There’s no doubt we are going to sell all the tickets. And all the money is going directly to the hospital.”

Fire Chief Paul Hutt was honoured with a Certified Municipal Management provincial accreditation award from the Ontario Municipal Management Institute recognizing his education, work experience and career development at the council meeting on April 25. “Thank you for the opportunity to recognize one of your staff,” said Bill McKimm, of the OMMI. “The Ontario Municipal Management Institute is a non-profit organization that compliments primary associations like the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, or the paramedic service – their chiefs. We have 20 different partners and your chief has certainly shown his background and experience in achieving a lot of hardware on this certificate.” He explained the accreditation is a recognition of an individual’s career experience and education and potential. “Your chief, in particular, has the CMM 3 (certified municipal manager), which is the highest level, with a fire service executive, a fire suppression professional, a fire training specialist and a fire prevention professional,” said McKimm. Hutt was asked to come forward to accept the award, which was greeted by much applause from members of the North Grenville Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND Fire Service in attendance, members of his family, members of North Grenville Council North Grenville Fire Chief Paul Hutt was awarded municipal management provincial accreditation by Bill McKimm of the Ontario Municiand municipal staff. pal Management Institute on April 25.

The 1st Merrickville Beavers, Cubs and Section Scouters were joined for the groundbreaking of the new butterfly garden by Merrickville Public Library librarian Mary Kate Laphen, Mayor David Nash of the Village of Merrickville-Wolford, Branch 245 Legion President Dorothy Boal, Area Commissioner for Valley Highlands, Allen Sinfield, and representing Royal Bank of Canada, local branch manager Dawn Vander Velde. The Scouters are Megan Glenn, Mark Ross, Heather Ross, John Terpstra and Sheila Cornelisse.
A butterfly garden for Merrickville Jeannette Froese LeBlanc
On a beautiful Saturday April 30 afternoon, on the shore of the Rideau River in Merrickville, the 1st Merrickville Beavers and Cubs held a ground-breaking ceremony and began building the flower beds for a butterfly garden outside of the Merrickville Public Library. The project was part of the Scouts Canada â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Turn Weekâ&#x20AC;? aimed at contributing to the community and teaching youth â&#x20AC;&#x153;to always do unto others as they would do unto youâ&#x20AC;?. Scouter Megan Glenn spearheaded this project for the 1st Merrickville group. Before starting to build the garden, a number of certificates were presented to recognize several local groups whose support makes Scouting possible in the village for youth age 5-26 plus. First the library and librarian Mary Kate Laphen were thanked for allowing the group to build a garden on the library
grounds, not to mention opening her doors for the occasional meeting. She was very happy to welcome families to come to the library and to enjoy the new garden. The next certificate was presented to Mayor David Nash and the Village of MerrickvilleWolford who not only granted permission to create the garden, but allowed 1st Merrickville to use the Community Centre as a meeting place and a location to store equipment. Mayor Nash noted that he was a Scout when he was young and is very happy to see the continued success of Scouting within the Village of Merrickville-Wolford. Group Commissioner Sheila Cornelisse presented both a certificate and a plaque to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 245 in acknowledgement of the special contributions they have made. The Legion has been the official sponsor of the 1st Merrickville Scout Group for many years and has been instrumental in enabling the provision of
equipment, training, activities and camps for youth and leaders. This year they have provided funds to assist three thirdyear Cubs to attend camp in Algonquin Park.

Fire destroys house slated for demolition The Merrickville Fire Department responded to a house fire at 15 minutes after midnight on May 3. The call came in from a CP Railway crew passing the structure. The duplex, located at 106 Grenville Way in Merrickville, was fully involved when fire fighters arrived on scene. The house was vacant and slated for demolition. Flames were shooting through the roof and electrical wires were arching on the ground. Fire fighters had to maintain distance until Hydro shut off the power to the structure, at which time they moved in to get the fire under control. The cause of the fire has been classified as undetermined.

May is Community Living Month- Let’s Work Together! Each year during the month of May, Community Living North Grenville takes the opportunity to celebrate our successes. I was asked to write this article to brag about all of the amazing opportunities our “Personal Empowerment Group (PEG)” has been able to offer people within our community. CLNG’s mission statement states “That all persons live in a state of dignity, share in all aspects of living in the community, and have the opportunity to participate effectively.” Our mission as the PEG committee is to transform that ambition into real opportunities for personal growth and community discovery (and have fun while doing it!). We collaborate to identify ideas and examples of leisure, recreation, education, health and wellness and overall personal development that is available within our community. This information is shared through presentations or workshops to persons receiving services provided by Community Living North Grenville. We are always looking for community members and businesses to share their hobbies and expertise with us. Just an hour of your time could mean a lot

OPINION
I
Resistance is futile
hate change. I resist it with the best of them. Changing the way I do things is never easy for me because I am old fashioned and set in my ways. I didn’t have a computer until I was 18-yearsold, nor did I have a cellphone until the age of 21. I am not a fan of technology. I feel it takes over people’s lives, wastes their valuable time and cuts them off from the real world. There is nothing I hate more than someone texting while I am having a conversation with them. It drives me nuts. I’m a paper and pencil girl, for sure. You can always trust paper to function properly (unless it gets wet, I suppose) and pencils always work, even when dull. Reliable. My employer recently decided to change the way we do things at the Kemptville Advance. I no longer type my stories into Word and then upload them online. I now write directly into our online publication, then grab them from the site for the print edition. Normally I would throw a big stink about how insane this is – to trust the internet with hours of my hard work and rely on something so fickle as an internet connection to get my job done. What if the system went down? How would we get the paper out? However, I was in a good mood that day and decided not to be difficult. I gave it a try and discovered it made my life a little easier.

n March, we came home from a Caribbean vacation to a mild winter day. As I slid open the patio door, all four cats (two house cats and two barn cats that over-winter indoors) ran out into the melting snow. We didn’t see the barn cats again for three weeks. I thought the season of the indoor feral cats, leaving mounds of fluff balls on the couch and tearing up the carpet as they race up the stairs was finally over. I was wrong. Three weeks after he left, Junior came back. He dragged his sorry self into the house and sat at my feet, announcing his return with a plaintive wail. He looked very thin, as if he had either found himself trapped somewhere with no access to food, or he had been ill. His fur looked matted and the shine was gone from his coat and his eyes. All the fur was missing from the back of his left leg, and the remnants of a nicely cleaned wound was noticeable there. When I snuck over to pet him (he will only allow this if another cat is in between us and food is in front of him) I found another bald spot on his side and a wee hole
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
Now everything I wrote would go directly to our website and I could still back-up all my files using word. Writing directly online also eliminated the step of my editor having to publish the stories individually. It all made sense. Sometimes change can be a good thing and resistance can be futile. I am still weary of this big push to share everything online, however the internet is not going away anytime soon. And the print version of the Kemptville Advance has no problem standing on its own. But if I’m not on the train, I’ll get left at the station. I will always favour the print edition of the Kemptville Advance over the online publication, perhaps because it seems so intangible. Or maybe it’s the historical significance I associate with the Kemptville Advance and the importance of preserving the paper itself. I don’t know what the Kemptville Advance will look like in 10 years, or whether I will still be writing for it, but I do know progress is necessary. Even if I don’t like it.

Forecast is warm and wet
Summer must be closer than we think. The forest has lost its snow cover and the excess water spring brings is filling all the hollows.
The barn cat drama continues selves under the horse’s hoof. But the cat’s leg was much smaller. I didn’t think I had a splint small enough. Besides, this cat would have anything I constructed ripped off in no time. I crushed some homeopathic pills into his water for pain and planned to take him to the vet the DIANA FISHER next day. Sammy drank all the water and in the top of his head. He had obvi- tucked himself into bed.

He held it up and limped around I watched as he curled up on the the house. I was amazed that he could still get up and down the stairs fleece blanket and tried to tuck what I was pretty sure was a badly broken and onto his favourite birdwatching perches and napping spots with three leg underneath him.

ready for him, but he surprised them. When they opened his carrier he flew through their legs and slid across the floor to hide under the x-ray machine. They spent about half an hour chasing him around the clinic before they were able to examine him. All that running around burst the abscess that Junior was hiding between the pads of his paw. The vet confirmed there were no broken bones. He got an antibiotic shot to last ten days (no way he’s letting me give him oral meds twice a day after this), an anti-inflammatory painkiller and a good cleaning. Once back at home I opened the carrier and Junior took a spot
between the two housecats on the couch. They had a little conversation and decided he didn’t smell so bad after all. And the upside of all this drama is that although he is still suspicious when he sees the cat carrier, he lets me pet him now. I think he is grateful for the human intervention. The only problem is that now I think we have three permanent housecats. He’s afraid to go back outside. www.dianafisherbooks.com theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Antique roadshow fundraiser a success for R.I.N.G. Polly Beach
The Antiques Roadshow fundraiser for RING (Refugees in North Grenville) held on Sunday April 24, in the historic Burritt’s Rapids Community Hall, was a resounding success raising over $2,100! A big round of applause and thanks to the experts who appraised the antiques! Joe Gallaro, Roger Hart, Nick Healey, Ken Mews and Tanya Ursual gave generously of their time and expertise. Kemptville’s treasures were certainly discovered! For example, Roger Hart appraised a book that had originally been purchased for $0.25 to be circa 1700s and now worth hundreds of dollars. Joe Gallaro was really impressed by the immaculate condition of two vintage toy
trucks. Nick Healey spent time discussing the history of the 1812 rifle brought for appraisal by Rick Duguay. Tanya Ursual gave Sue Cotter the fascinating background behind the First World War compass she brought in along with a number of military badges. Ken Mews appraised a wide range of items such as fine china, silverware and jewelry! Flora Grant Dumouchel, Auctioneer, from Ingleside Ontario, regaled the crowd with jokes and banter all the while driving up the bids on the items so generously donated for the auction. Many thanks to Sylvie Morel, Jean Hargess, Becky Rea, Michael Whittaker, Deborah Symonds, Alec and Jocelyn Rait, Lisa Poushinsky, Sally Jorgenson, Ellen Miller, Tom and Polly Beach, Brian Fitz-
patrick, Carol Cote, Margaret Hodge and Nick Healey for all the wonderful donations. The event couldn’t have been possible without a fantastic volunteer team. Kudos to Chris and Bernie Boesveld, Sheila Cook, Audrey and Colin Moden, Mary Chapman, Alec and Jocelyn Rait, Carol Cote, Tom and Polly Beach and Robert Sentner! A special note of thanks to Chris and Nancy Morgan for their help in promoting the Antiques Roadshow on Facebook. Thanks to all who attended and donated so generously, RING is now almost three quarters of the way to reaching the fundraising goal. Stay tuned for information about when we can expect to welcome our first Syrian refugee family to North Grenville. Submitted by R.I.N.G.
“In Honour of a community builder” Albert Dyks was one of those rare breeds – a man with a huge heart, filled with huge concern and care for his community and neighbours. Right up until his untimely passing in 2014, Albert worked tirelessly to make North Grenville a welcoming and caring place to live. He served on the Hospital board, with the Lions Club eye care team making trips to Guyana and Trinidad, travelled countless times with World Renew to assist disaster survivors in the southern USA, as well as cheerfully volunteering in various roles in his local church, Kemptville Christian Reformed Church. Albert always cared for the vulnerable, and those in need. His legacy is being carried forward by R.I.N.G (Refugees
In North Grenville) and the Kemptville Christian Reformed Church (KCRC) as they partner to host the annual Albert Dyks Memorial Chicken BBQ on Saturday, May 14, 4:30-6:30 at KCRC, 2455 County Road 18 in Kemptville. Chicken provided by Albert’s Meat Shop will be prepared in Albert’s long-time “secret sauce” and cooked they way he used to do over open charcoal. Served along with beans, slaw, buns and dessert, this mouth-watering meal has become a “must do.” Tickets $15 at the door. And all proceeds will go towards North Grenville’s efforts to bring a Syrian refugee family out of the horrors of the Middle East conflict and to a safe new beginning and warm wel-
come here in Kemptville. RING has had to alter their strategy towards refugee sponsorship in the wake of the Federal Government’s recent and sudden shift in Syrian refugee resettlement policy. While previous doors suddenly closed, RING has been able to build an active partnership with Cedar Home, an orphanage just outside Beruit, Lebanon and with World Renew (Canada). Cedar Home is actively working to identify a refugee family from among their present clientele, while World Renew is the partner agency in processing documentation here in Canada. Further details will be shared in the very near future, as soon as they become available. Submitted by R.I.N.G.

Off and strolling Well, we’re off and strolling, not racing. Remember you have to do your warm up. We can however start putting things in the ground. Next Tuesday, May 10th, is a magical date in this hardiness zone. It is our last frost date. I don’t know who names these things but it is NOT our last frost date. Just to recap. The last frost date is the date you have a 50/50 chance of getting a frost. The week after it drops to a 25% chance, the week after that a 12.5% chance and so on and so on. You think they would have named it “Do you feel lucky date?” I normally put the snowblower away on or about May 10th. But I don’t put it at the back of the shed and I still leave gas in the tank. Too late we get too smart. Enough with the pessimism, let’s put on the rose coloured glasses and get planting. There are lots of things you can plant now.

I loved this time at the nursery. All of the old timers ( listen to me calling folks old timers) would show up and and spend the longest time sorting through the bins of bulk seed potatoes and onion sets. They knew exactly what they were looking for. When they’re sold by the pound, frugal means finicky. Big but not too big, firm and not mushy. Here is a short list of what you can put in the ground right now. The aforementioned

potatoes and onions and any other root crop. Beets, carrots, parsnips and radish. You can even plant your garlic if you didn’t do it last fall. Our fall planting of garlic is already up to about 10 inches. Welcome shafts of green poking through the leaf mulch. There are also above the ground crops that thrive in the cooler weather. Lettuce, kale, Swiss chard and peas all do well with an early start. Keep the tender stuff and heat lovers like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash somewhere you can harden them off but give them protection in under twenty minutes. Yeah, around here the weather changes that fast. Once you’ve got your early stuff in the ground, it’s time to get to your local garden centre and take advantage of the incredible variety before the crush time of Mother’s Day and the long weekend in May. You’ll pay a little bit more in peak season but the diversity is worth it. Nurseries and garden centres work really hard to give you healthy vibrant plants. Reward them for their efforts. Avail yourself of their expertise. Come back later in the season for the bargains. Big box stores will save you a few dollars. Your choice. Talk to someone that grows for a living. They will charge you what they need to continue. They will get you off and strolling. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Prepare to be amazed. The students in the musical theatre program at North Grenville District High School are gearing up for their Dorothy in Wonderland production. The musical, featuring nearly 50 students who have been working hard on the production since Oct., will be held at the school on May 12 at 6:30 p.m. and May 14 at 1 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the front office of NGDHS, at a cost of $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Herbert, 81

Born in Toronto on Sept. 30, 1934, Herb was the son of Herb and Phillis Cook. He is survived by four children (Sheila, Heather, James and Kathryn), eight grandchildren and one great-grandson. He was predeceased by his wife Kay (McKenzie) of Port Elgin. Herb spent his working career as retail manager with the Woolworth Company in Toronto and London, Ontario but his true passion was the outdoors. His children, grandchildren and many friends have happy memories of camping, fishing, hunting and boating with Herb. He was fortunate to be able to retire early and enjoy the church near North Augusta, which he and Kay renovated into a beautiful residence. Herb felt very much at home in Eastern Ontario and made himself part of the community. His family and friends are heartbroken at his death, but comforted by the knowledge that Herb lived on his own terms, right up until his last day.

Sister Janet Marie Hendry SJCC January 21, 1952 – May 11, 2010 Always loved and remembered Your Mom and 8 siblings
CRAWFORD, Orval – In fond and loving memory of the best husband and father in the world, Orval Crawford who passed away May 3, 2003. It’s sad but true and we wonder why, The best are always first to die. There is always a face before us, A voice we would love to hear, A smile we will always remember, Of a husband and father we loved so dear. To his grave in thought we wander, And wished that he could speak. But we stand there in silence, And picture him asleep. We cannot bring the good days back, When we were all together, But beautiful memories silently kept, Of a wonderful husband and father, We will never forget. Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten By his loving wife Dolly Four sons and their families
McLAREN – In loving memory of my Mum, Norma McLaren who passed away suddenly on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2015. Gone but never forgotten If roses grow in heaven Lord pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mum’s arms And tell her they are from me. Tell her I love and miss her And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day But there’s an ache within my heart That will never go away. Love always Linda, Dan and family

Forever loved and missed dearly, Joan

DIXON, Duane – In loving memory of a dear father, father-in-law and grandfather who passed away on May 7, 1995. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say. But Dad you’re missed and loved, In a very special way. If we could have one life time wish, One dream we know would come true, We would pray to God with all our hearts, For yesterday and you. Sadly missed and forever loved, Dawn, Brian and Michaela and Dale, Sue and Helena

McLAREN, Norma 1928–2015 In loving memory of a dear mom, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away May 10th, 2015. Remember our mom with a smile today, She wasn’t one for tears. Reflect instead on memories, Of all the happy years. Recall her laugh, the way she spoke, The funny things she did, Her strength, her love, the way she joked, Her eyes that shone with fun. So much of her that never died, She left for everyone. Thanks for the memories. Love Bob, Judy Stephanie, Blade and Norm

done is we’ve prepared a North Grenville emergency preparedness kit,” said Hutt. “It’s personalized for our municipality, but in the kit we have water, food, lights, survival candles, shelter supplies, communication device, first-aid, survival gear – all the items you would need in a 72-hour survival kit is right here. So staff has started to offer these kits on a cost recovery basis. We’re reaching out right now with a number of partners, from a cost sharing perspective. One initiative we have coming up on May 7 is a joint barbecue at Jonsson’s Independent grocer and he’s agreed to provide all the burgers and hotdogs for free, with all funds going towards our emergency preparedness kits.” North Grenville Fire Service staff will be on location with the kits, to explain to residents the importance of personal preparedness. “We’re going to be focusing on the less fortunate, as well as the most vulnerable members of our community,” said Hutt. At present, the cost of the kits, which provide all necessities for two people in an emergency, are in the range of $170. “We’re trying to reduce those costs and we’re going to be doing partnerships with our community to move this initiative forward, to make sure in the event of an emergency in our community, our

residents are prepared.” Resolution of support passes with 3-2 vote A resolution of support for a resolution passed by the Township of North Frontenac was brought before council for consideration. “Be it resolved that whereas the Independent Electric System Operator has requested input on the RFP (request for proposal) process used to award renewable energy contracts and whereas the government indicated the new contracts will be directed to host communities, with the Minister of Energy indicating on March 7 that it will be almost impossible for a contract to be granted under the current process without municipal agreement, and whereas three of the five contracts announced on March 10, 2016, did not have municipal support for the project and whereas the current process does not meet the government’s standards for openness and transparency because municipal councillors are asked to submit power projects based on little or no detail and municipalities were unable to determine the basis on which individual contracts were awarded…” read Mayor David Gordon. “First of all, some of the key points here, which I don’t want to belay the subject, but I think bear repetition,” said
Councillor Jim Bertram. “Be it resolved that the municipal support resolution be to a mandatory requirement in the IEOS process, but the rules be amended to require that the resolution related to this support must be considered at an open council meeting, held after the community engagement meeting organized by the proponent. I won’t read the whole list, but I would like to make a few points about the general tenor of this resolution. It’s my understanding, my belief, having looked at this that this is an attempt to restore the right of citizens through their local municipal representatives to determine whether a potentially contentious industrial level energy developments will be permitted within their municipalities.” He explained local municipal autonomy relative to local developments is important. “I am particularly concerned, and have been for some time, about the erosion of the autonomy of decision making in municipal governments,” said Bertram. “I believe this resolution is an attempt to take back some of that territory.” Gordon, Bertram and Councillor Donovan Arnaud voted in favour of supporting the resolution. Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin and Councillor Frank Onasanya voted against. The resolution passed.

The Merrickville Girl Guides would like to remind everyone - please don’t litter! Keep your garbage in the car and dispose of it properly later.

Something for everyone with Phantom and Les Mis! How can you not be carried away with this collection of fantastic music presented by the North Grenville Concert Choir? Along with Hairspray, Mamma Mia and Wicked, medleys from Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables will also be part of the show! Phantom of the Opera is Broadway’s longest-running and financially successful musical, based on the French novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, an out-of-print book that Andrew Lloyd Webber (thankfully) discovered whilst browsing through a used bookstore one day. Webber wrote the magnificent music, with lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe; because of its score and vocal demands, it is often staged as an opera. It has run in 28 countries and numerous languages, and won seven Tony awards. The score has snippets or themes from such diverse composers as Mozart to Gilbert & Sullivan appearing. A single performance has 230 costumes requiring 14 dressers; it
uses 281 candles, 10 fog machines and more than 500 pounds of dry ice. The Phantom’s facial prosthetics are manufactured in London and shipped globally, and several Phantoms have actually gotten their lip prosthetics stuck on Christine during performances. Les Misérables is based on Victor Hugo’s veritable monster of a book (well over 1,000 pages), and was originally a French-language production that opened in Paris to poor reviews. It opened to even poorer ones on the West End. The music is by Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyrics by Alain Boublil & Jean-Marc Natel (French), and Herbert Kretzmer (English). It is the second-longest-running musical globally, has played in 42 countries and 22 languages. It is currently playing its third Broadway run, having previewed in Toronto (go Canada!). The production requires 392 costumes, which is over 5,000 individual pieces of clothing and 85 wigs. It takes place during a time period that encompasses both the
American Revolution (which was helped to victory by the French) and the French Revolution. The 2014 film version sparked the film industry’s renewed interest in movie-musicals and it was so huge that the Oscars’ theme was ‘Movie Musicals.’ In 2004, Queen Elizabeth II invited the French President and British Prime Minister to Windsor Castle for a 40-minute highlight reel. Presidents Obama and Clinton used the anthem ‘One Day More’ as campaign songs; not hard to understand why.

Merrickville-Wolford tables 2016 draft budget on April 25 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Merrickville-Wolford tabled their 2016 draft budget, containing no tax increase, at the regular MerrickvilleWolford council meeting on April 25. The budget calls for a slight decrease in the local tax levy. A residential home assessed at $100,000 would pay $808 in local taxes. This combined with a reduction in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville levy and the school board levy will net an approximate 1 per cent reduction in total taxes for properties that have not changed in assessment. “This is a good news budget,” said
Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash. “This is a direct result of the public meetings we held, to find out how satisfied residents were with services delivered. I would like to thank the residents who took the time to attend the meetings and let us know how we’re doing and how we can do better.” He explained Merrickville-Wolford couldn’t continue increasing taxes, at a rate of approximately 3.5 per cent annually over the past few years. “We had to make cuts,” said Nash. “We had to trim in the capital budget. That’s where most of the cuts were done.” The municipality will begin to see
cost savings on projects such as the LED lighting in the village over the coming years. “The residents told us how they felt about taxes and we listened,” said Nash. The municipality is moving towards full cost recovery on a user basis for water and sewer services in the village. “It’s a process of collecting data,” said Nash. “One year down the road, we will know how close we are to full cost recovery on a user basis for water and sewer services.” The next step for council, with the appointment of Sheila Kehoe as the new Manager of Finance/Treasurer, is to review the asset management plan
for the municipality. “I’m hoping she’ll (Kehoe) be able to bring her expertise to the asset management plan and tie it to the budget in the future.” The budget includes overall expenditures of approximately $3.8 million. Highlights include no cuts to services and new services such as road line painting and weed spraying. A capital budget of $1,132,616 is highlighted by road work totalling $410,000 for Putnam Road, Ireland Road and Snowdons Corners Road. A replacement grader has been purchased and a new fire pumper/tanker at a cost of $350,000 is planned, as well as scales for the landfill at $65,000. The budget
Merrickville-Wolford appoints new Manager of Finance At its regular council meeting on April 25, Merrickville-Wolford Council appointed Sheila Kehoe as their new Manager of Finance/Treasurer commencing May 3. “With the recent resignation of treasurer Shawn Mason, we are pleased to have Sheila Kehoe join our staff and bring her experience to serve the ratepayers of MerrickvilleWolford,” noted Mayor David Nash. Kehoe, the former treasurer of North Grenville, has over 20 years of experience with several regional municipalities. She has a BA in economics and has completed the AMCTO (Association of Municipal Managers,
will utilize accumulated gas tax grants of $325,000 and some borrowing to take advantage of current low interest rates. Taxation in Merrickville-Wolford generates 69 per cent of the total revenue for the municipality, with the balance coming from grants, user fees and reserves. The municipality has also budgeted to undertake a development charges study in order to ensure that new development contributes to future service needs. Third reading of the budget bylaw is set for May 9. The draft budget can be found online at www.merrickvillewolford.ca.

The position is a full-time contract one, with review and renewal options. The priority for the new treasurer will be to assist the municipality’s new auditor to complete the 2015 audit and to monitor and implement the 2016 budget.

RVCA outlines services provided to North Grenville during deputation Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Services provided to North Grenville by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority were outlined during a deputation to council on April 25. “I’m here tonight to give a quick presentation on our 2016 budget,” said Sommer Casgrain-Robertson, of the RVCA. “And more importantly what we’ve done for you in the past year.” The RVCA budget for 2016 is just over $10 million, she explained. “And that’s actually down a little bit from last year,” said Casgrain-Robertson. “We have fewer capital projects going on this year.” About half of the RVCA’s revenue comes from municipal levy, she explained. “And we’re very cognizant of municipalities taking efforts to minimize pressure on the taxpayers and we’re certainly following suit. So we try very hard to bring in other sources of revenue, from different funding streams.” The RVCA works at generating its own revenue, as well. “So just over $3 million comes in,” she said. The RVCA is fortunate to have an active foundation, which brings in other partnerships and streams of revenue, she explained. “In terms of North Grenville municipal levy, yours has increased $3,700 over last year,” said Casgrain-Robertson. “So your levy for 2016 is sitting at just over $83,000. So I think we owe it to you to tell you what you get for that money.” One of the key things the RVCA does is watershed monitoring, she explained. “So we really strive to understand our watershed.” Each year, the RVCA puts together a report card pertaining to a specific area of the watershed, which speaks to the
condition of the watershed. “Forest cover, wetland cover, water quality and other indicators,” she said. “So, in order to be able to put reports like that together, we have a robust monitoring program. In North Grenville itself, we have 16 sites where we monitor the water quality. We have one of our groundwater monitoring wells within your municipality. We do fish sampling at 47 different sites within your municipality. We’ve assessed the full length of Kemptville North Branch Mud and Barnes Creek, and that was looking at water quality and the types of bugs and vertebrae that live in that stream, and that really gives us an indicator, in terms of the health of your watershed.” She explained the watershed report cards are used to guide RVCA policy and project development. “So if you look at protecting people and property and sustainable development, they kind of go hand in hand,” said Casgrain-Robertson. “So the conservation authority works very closely with our member municipalities. And in particular North Grenville. We work closely with your development review team. We know you’re big about being open for business and by us participating, it really enables a streamline of information.” The RVCA has 40 kilometers of hazard mapping in North Grenville, she continued. “So those are areas that are flood prone, maybe areas that are wetland, unstable soil, steep slope – and those are areas we want to be cognizant of and aware when development is being planned.” Last year, the RVCA processed 40 planning applications from North Grenville. “And we reviewed and issued 22 permits for work that was either in flood prone areas or adjacent to wetland,” she said. “We also responded to 104 property inquiries, which I
think speaks to the real estate market in North Grenville.” The RVCA has a real focus on watershed restoration and enhancement within Rideau Valley, she said. “Within North Grenville, we’ve planting over 100,000 trees, just in your municipality alone. Last year, we actually planted our five millionth tree watershed wide. We’ve naturalized 25 shorelines within your municipality. We’ve had over 200 projects funded for clean water in North Grenville.” The RVCA is also working Submitted photo on bringing back butternut trees, which are suffering from the canker disease. “We’ve planted almost 500 butternut trees just in your mu- The Merrickville scouting community helped clean up the village during the Pitch-In Cannicipality alone,” she said. ada weeks, which ran from April 17 to 30. The beaver management program works with residents in problem areas, she explained. “Over the last few years we’ve trapped almost 200 beavers within North Grenville.” The RVCA owns 25 hectares of protected land in North Grenville. “To wrap up, it is our 50th anniversary this year, so we’re very proud of that fact and we’re looking forward to celebrating it throughout the year with our member municipalities,” she said. “And one thing we’re also very excited about is the leadership role that you’re taking on Kemptville College. We’ve been watching it with great interest. Your staff has been good about keeping us updated. I was at the BDO presentation a few weeks ago and it’s really interesting to see the proposal and if things unfold the way I think we’re all hoping they will, I think there will be great future partnerships possible between the conservation authority and your municipality, under the whole umbrella of climate change mitigation, which is an issue Terms Cash; Interac; Mastercard; Visa we are looking at how we can www.rideauauctions.com 613-774-2735 play a role in.

Jac’s Boutique and Gifts opens in Kemptville Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
A career in the retail world is rewarding. For Jacqueline Taylor the owner and manager of Jac’s Boutique and Gifts in Kemptville, the retail business and the community it serves is a way of life made richer by her retail experience. Jac’s Boutique and Gifts is located at the Kemptville Community Square 2727 County Rd 43 Unit 5. The store held their grand opening on Saturday, April 16. In 2009 the Taylor family of Jacqueline, husband Brad and daughters Lyndsay and Emily arrived in Kemptville. “When I came out of high school I went to Georgian College taking a two-year program in Fashion Merchandising” Jacqueline remembers. I have worked in retail ever since. As the manager of Tanda Shoes for five years she gained a great deal of experience, “I also met a lot of wonderful people,” she said. “As time went by I realized that I wanted to have my own store,” she said. “I love working with people.” The family moved to New Brunswick and she had to give up her job with Tanda. But she missed her retail job and the community she had gotten to know over her five years living and working in Kemptville. While in New Brunswick the family made a life changing decision. They decided to focus all of their energy and resources in helping Jacqueline start up her
own women’s clothing store in Kemptville. Brad and Jacqueline made the decision to come back to Kemptville on January 2016. From that moment on everything the family did was focused on their dream. Jacqueline drove from New Brunswick to Toronto, with the help of her mom and her girls to select the clothing for her new store from various sellers. Next was finding a spot to open her store and at the same time find a place for her family to live. Everything was accomplished in a week or so and Jacqueline, Lyndsay and Emily settled in organizing the boutique. Brad stayed behind in New Brunswick and began working on transferring his job up to Kemptville. By Easter weekend the store was ready to open. Jacqueline had wanted to open up Jac;s Boutique and Gifts in April once the decision was made to go ahead with idea. The store is only a few weeks old and already their decision has proven to be the right one. “When I worked at Tanda I met incredible people. People genuinely cared about us,” she said. “I really felt I was making special memories in my life.” Now those elationships are helping to make her store a success. “All of the people I met through the shoe store have been coming in,” she said, adding “Those connections mean so much to us.” She understands what people are looking for in terms of women’s clothing and their shopping experience. “I go
shopping with my girls and my mom. I want this store to be able to cater to all generations of a family. We have a lot of styles to offer.” She tries to ensure that many of the items in her store are made in Canada. Stocking the boutique was not an issue. “I have always paid attention to what people liked and what they wanted,” she said. “People can stay in their own community but be able to enjoy great shopping opportunities.” Jacqueline is not alone at the boutique. Her two daughters Emily and Lyndsay are there supporting her. They share in the satisfaction of finding the perfect item for their customers. Both are artists and have created artwork to help decorate the store. “It feels like we are sharing things we love with people we love,” said Emily. Jac’s Boutique and Gifts also has popular facebook page where they invite their customers to model whatever they may have purchased at Jac’s Boutique and Gifts. Jacqueline believes shopping should be all about the experience. She wants to help her customers have a good one. “This is a real family business It’s like inviting someone into my home,” said Jacqueline. You can call Jac’s Boutique and Gifts at 613-215-0894 or connect by email at jacsboutique@gmail. com. They are on facebook at Jac’s Boutique and Gifts. The store hours are: MondayWednesday 9:30-5:30 p.m., Thursday and Friday 9:30-7:00 p.m., Saturday 9:30-5:30 p.m., Sunday closed.
As many as 80 ladies queuedup to get information about Rideau Glen ladies league and register for the season of 2016. At the door to welcome the ladies were the president of the league and vice president: Mary Garrett & Pam Miller. They directed the ladies to the different stations to collect their information. The stations were: 1) the monthly dinners and menus; 2) the tournaments and ringer board; 3) the weekly games on
Tuesday and Thursday, and the sign-up sheet for next week’s play starting on May 3rd; 4) registration; 5) at the end of the line with the pay station. The great number of ladies present showed how avid the ladies are about golf. The new owner of Rideau Glen, John Goss, presented himself and welcomed the ladies. He assured all that the course will be in good shape to open the season. He also said that many changes will come along only to make the course better
for all to play. He was greatly applauded. The ladies stayed to chitchat & catch-up on news & greet each other. Mary presented the executive, who most are on the last year of their duties. The ladies slowly dispersed to meet again soon on the course. At the end of the day, the tally for the ladies league was so far 71 members signed-up with about 25 to 30 new members. The “Meet & Greet” was a huge success and the league is healthy and sound and raring to start the new season.
Merrickville -Wolford nixes rural garbage pick-up At its regular council meeting on April 25, MerrickvilleWolford Council decided not to extend rural curbside waste and recycling pick-up to its Wolford Ward residents. “From feedback last fall and our public information sessions, it was clear that the majority of Wolford residents are satisfied with the status quo,” said Mayor David Nash. Currently Wolford residents have the option of taking their waste and recycling it to the landfill on County Road 16,

which is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Alternatively, there is Martins Sanitation, who provides pickup service on a fee for service basis. The municipality did increase bag tags effective June 1 in both the Merrickville and Wolford Wards from $1.50 and $0.75 to $2.50 and $1 respectively. Residents will be able to use up any existing bag tags. “This brings us closer to cost recovery for landfill costs and waste and recycling pick-
up and disposal,” noted Interim CAO Arie Hoogenboom. “This is seen as fairer than increasing taxes.” As well as the disposal rates, the waste bylaw and landfill arrangement will need to be updated as the municipality moves to install a set of weight scales at their landfill. The cost of the scales, totaling $65,000, was included in the 2016 capital budget. Submitted by the Municipality of Merrickville-Wolford

FEATURE | What Will Your Legacy Be? We all reach a stage in life when we think about what it’s all meant. Why were we here? What was the purpose of this life? What have we left behind? Most of us want to be remembered for our best qualities. We want to be remembered for our generosity, our integrity and for giving back. We also want to be remembered for our loving relationships – with our family, friends and neighbours. Some of us also want to be remembered for extending our love of neighbour to people we’ve never met.
This is why people in our community choose to leave a gift in their will to the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation. Legacy gifts are one of the reasons we have such a great Hospital in Kemptville. A single bequest can make a tremendous impact and over the years, the Hospital has been able to purchase state-of-the-art equipment, refurbish operating rooms and provide much needed specialized equipment thanks to Legacy gifts.
Every gift makes a difference Your donation helps provide our doctors and nurses with the tools they need to care for you, your family and friends, when it matters most, close to home
Just recently the Foundation received notice of a $121,000 bequest from a long-time supporter. This funding will go directly to build new clinical space so we can bring specialists from Ottawa to serve us here in Kemptville. “I have included the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation in my will. Not only have I been a patient there but my entire family has, at some point in time, required care there. I want the Hospital to be there for my grandchildren and their children.” Joan, patient “We are very fortunate to have access to care in our own backyard. I need mammograms on an annual basis and the Hospital‘s mammography suite is top notch. They provide spa robes instead of hospital gowns, kind and caring technologists, new state of the art digital mammography technology, and extended hours that fit my schedule”, Nora, grateful patient. I am a donor now and intend to leave a gift in my will to benefit the next generation of technology for the women and their families in my community.” “When you leave a bequest, you can create a “named fund” after your loved ones,” said Ms. Mavis. “Most importantly, it’s a way for families to leave a legacy in support of an institution that’s important to them,” said Ms. Mavis, Executive Director, Kemptville District Hospital Foundation. “We can’t thank people enough for their support of the Hospital through a Legacy gift.” If you would like more information on leaving a Legacy gift in your will, please call Joanne at 613-258-6133, ext. 185.
