Community Connections Centre seeks letter of support from municipality Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

A representative from the Grenville Centre for Social Studies, Community Connections Centre, asked council for endorsement on May 19. “I am here to ask council whether you would give endorsement moving ahead with this project,” said Beverly Illauq, Executive Director. She explained the Community Connections Cen-

tre, which was located at 113 Prescott St., was a pilot project primarily undertaken by volunteers in 2014. The project ran from January to August that year. “The centre was incorporated as a not-for-proﬁt in February, 2014,” said Illauq. “On March 8, 2014, we ofﬁcially opened the Community Connections Centre.” She explained the mission for the centre was to bring people and possibilities together. “We laughed a lot, listened

a lot and met a lot of people,” she told council. Illauq said the centre allowed for statistical compilation and the formation of ideas surrounding local needs. “We were able to form ideas of where the gaps were in North Grenville, for families and people experiencing issues.” She explained connections are made in four different directions – the creator, earth, others close and others far. “As we have proceeded through this project and engaged in strategic planning, we have come up with a vision,” said Illauq. She explained during the strategic planning phase, looking at data and statistics, the group involved was able to put together a philosophical vision. “We have two priorities,” said Illauq. “The ﬁrst priority is addiction, mental health and wellness programs. We recognized the greatest gap in the community was an addictions and mental health centre. That is our number one priority.”

The second priority, she explained, is a rural wellness study centre, which would encompass studies in rural social work, a rural trauma centre and publications of ﬁndings. “We gathered statistics from April 24 to August 31, 2014,” said Illauq. “Over that 70-day period, we had 982 visits or phone calls to the centre. That ﬁgure represents 281 individuals who averaged 3.5 visits, or 14 visits per day to the centre.” She explained visitor activity within the centre varied – counseling (18 per cent), tutoring (8 per cent), volunteering (40 per cent), paid employment (9 per cent) and participating in programs (25 per cent). She said 55 per cent of visitors were adult women, 21 per cent were adult men and the remainder were youth. “The total expenses for those three months were $12,065,” said Illauq. “That breaks down to a cost per day of $182.80, or $42.93 per person.” See ADDICTION pg K11

CANADA & NEW ENGLAND CRUISE SEPTEMBER 5-13 the second of three competitions organized by the UCDSB. The ﬁrst, also titled ‘Change the World,’ was for grade four to six students. The third, titled ‘Innovation Challenge,’ is for grade nine to 12 students and will take place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre today (May 28). Roughly 160 students will take part in all three competitions. “The educators at the schools select which students take part in the challenge,” said Hardie. “It’s usually a team of four students and one teacher who come to the competition, but

sometimes the project was done by an entire class. The four students are usually the representatives.” Eight schools participated in the challenge on May 15, including Chimo Elementary School, Almonte and District High School, Russell High School, Athens District High School, Carleton Place High School, Gananoque Intermediate Secondary School, Seaway District High School and Rideau District High School. The competition was streamed live, so the other students from the participating schools could watch.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is hoping students can ‘Change the World.’ “The goal is to help students broaden their horizons for the future,” said Eric Hardie, one of the organizers and principal at Carleton Place High School. “It doesn’t occur to youth they can change the world, but they can.” The ‘Change the World’ challenge took place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville on May 15. “The idea is to create initiative in students,” said Hardie. “They always exceed expectations.” The challenge, which involves pitching an idea designed to beneﬁt the world on a local, national or international level, is part of the UCDSB’s ICE (Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship) program. “It’s a Dragons Den style competition for the students,” said Hardie. “They get up and have 10 minutes to make a pitch.” He said students always go above and beyond when given the opportunity to demonstrate their social prowess and intelligence. “Every time, you see something amazing and thought provoking,” said Hardie. “Today was no different.” Some of the projects included ‘Walk the Walk’ (collecting shoes for people in third world countries), ‘Bikes 4 Change’ (collecting bicycles to send to people in third world countries), ‘The Green Warriors’ (teaching ecostewardship and donating the produce to the local food bank), ‘Be the Change Crew’ (inspiring, informing and fundraising) and ‘Stereotypes Podcast’ (debunking stereotypes globally). Each group was awarded funds to keep the project going. The funds for the competition were provided by the UCDSB. “Between the three competitions, there is $9,000 available to support all the projects,” said Hardie. The competition was a signiﬁcant organizational undertaking. “When you see all the projects, its well worth the effort,” said Hardie. “The students are very ambitious.” The groups were encouraged to seek community partners to assist with their project’s effectiveness. “For example, the group from Athens reached out to their local food bank and local gardening group for assistance,” said Hardie. The idea behind the challenge is to inspire students to create real change. “Ideally, the students will continue on with their projects,” said Hardie. “They can use the money they’re awarded today to expand their projects.” The ‘Change the World’ challenge, for grade seven and eight students, is

Coinciding with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Telethon weekend, all funds raised during the evening will benefit the CHEO Foundation. In 2014, the kitchen party raised a total of $8,000 through ticket sales, a silent auction, and individual donations. The kitchen party features toe tapping family entertainment and plenty of food with Lanark County maple syrup. The Wheeler family and volunteers, will serve an all-you-can-eat maple feast including pancakes, French toast, maple sausages, and maple baked beans topped off with Angela Wheeler’s scrumptious homemade maple sugar pie and other maple-themed desserts. Joel Smith and Josh Roy (The Sonin-Laws), Vernon and Judy’s sons-inlaw, will provide the first set of music. The Roberts Family of Lanark will finish off the evening with their own brand of kitchen music featuring moving ballads, Irish jigs, and hymns. The Wheeler and Roberts families donate 100 per cent of the ticket cost for the meal and entertainment to the CHEO Foundation.

Trudeau visit Archambault has said that “it’s looking good” for a visit to Lanark County by federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, whom he has spoken with several times – in both English and French, as they are both FrenchCanadian. He joked that while “Justin likes to run,” and not only for elections, it might be a little late to get him registered for the Perth Kilt Run this summer. However, the Trudeau family has expressed interest in visiting the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival or the North Lanark Highland Games, both in Almonte, this summer. “Those are the type of events that the Trudeau family has expressed an interest in; a family event,” he said. Both he and Trudeau have children – Trudeau three, Archambault four – a topic which is an important one for him. “It’s all about the family, and bringing them a bright future,” he said. Previous to May 14, Archambault had last visited Perth on Saturday, April 25, when he and his party set up a stall at the Festival of the Maples. “I had some great conversations

Federal Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault says he fired Perth Mayor John Fenik from his campaign, and that Fenik’s decision to run against him for the NDP is no loss to him. “John has not been part of my campaign since early February, so clearly (it is) not a big loss,” wrote Archambault during a Facebook exchange this past weekend. When dealing with Fenik, he wrote, “it is always about John, so, all I have to say is good luck to him.” While Fenik has said that there was a mutual parting of ways, Archambault said that “I had to let him go,” during a telephone interview early on May 19. “I’m looking forward to debating him in the election he said,” followed by a laugh. He said he did not feel betrayed by Fenik’s actions, and that he had not been surprised by his May 11 announcement because “there were some rumours.” Archambault said he has more volunteers joining his campaign every week, and that despite Fenik’s assertion that others left the campaign along with him, Archambault said that “my team has been intact. I have not had anyone who has jumped ship.” In fact, Archambault said he hosted a “Pub and Politics” event at The Golden Arrow Pub and Eatery in Perth on May 14, with more than 24 volunteers in attendance. Polling done by the Liberals shows, according to him, that “we are a strong second to (incumbent Conservative MP Scott) Reid. I think Scott could be in for a surprise this time. We are within distance of Reid.”

Skydiving fundraiser for Lanark County Interval House takes flight June 6 and 7 Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

Thirty-four area residents will take the leap for Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) June 6 and 7 during its Jump for Justice fundraiser. The participants will embark on their free fall at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior. The ﬁrst day, tandem jumps will begin at 8 a.m., and will kick off the second day at 9 a.m. Two people will jump each hour. “We’re absolutely thrilled (with the participation). When we started this, I thought if we get 10 people it would be great,” remarked LCIH board member Amy Nadeau. However, after an article appeared in this newspaper in January, “the emails just kept coming in and now we’re at capacity with two full days.” Nadeau noted that Jump for Justice builds on the success of third party fundraiser last August where two Bayshore Home Health nurses, Kelsie Maynard and Amanda Hodgins, used their skydiving adventure to bring in $2,000 for the organization. This year, each jumper is tasked with collecting pledges. “Some have set goals for $100, all the way up to $5,000, and one jumper has already raised $2,000 alone,” Nadeau said,

adding that she hopes $5,000 can be raised through the event. Pledges can be collected in person, or those interested in making a donation (to a participant or the event in general), can do so online by visiting lcih.org and clicking on the Events tab. Upon arrival, participants will view a short safety video and undergo brief training before they gear up and get ready for their jumps. As an added incentive, Mile High Parachuting has thrown in some prizes for jumpers. Those who raise $100 or more will receive free unedited videos of their skydives, while the top fundraiser gets a full video and photo package, valued at $180. “A videographer is up there shooting and jumpers have GoPro cameras strapped to their wrists. It’s pretty fun to see,” Nadeau said, adding that the fundraiser has received so much support from the business. “The staff there are phenomenal. They’re so excited and enthusiastic about the event.” With many organizations feeling the pinch of rising costs, Nadeau said funds raised will be put to good use to beneﬁt LCIH’s programs and services. “As everyone knows, the cost of living continues to go up but the fund-

ing for Interval House certainly hasn’t. Without many increases in funding, it’s so important to continue to support the agency through community efforts,” she explained. The public education and volunteer and fundraising programs receive no government funding, so LCIH relies strictly on fundraising to keep them alive. “If our public education program didn’t exist, there would be no education sessions, no going into schools and talking about our services,” Nadeau continued. “And our volunteers have been running our As Good As New store for 25 years. We couldn’t survive without our volunteers, either.” Spectators to come out and cheer on jumpers and LCIH will also be co-ordinating a barbecue on site, with snacks and refreshments also available for purchase. Nadeau is unsure if Jump for Justice will be an annual tradition but “if I hear the buzz for interest next year, we may go ahead and run it again.” “I’m really excited. I hope everyone crosses their ﬁngers and toes that Laurie Weir/METROLAND we have good weather. I think it’ll be Tiernan Sanderson, 1, takes part in the bike parade as part of Franka really good weekend,” she added. For more information on Lanark town’s Lilac Festival on Saturday, May 23.

Brooke and Brittany Henderson to host Charity Pro-Am golf event Every day that avid golfers get to play the game they enjoy is a great day. Each year most golfers play in a charity event that makes playing golf more than just a game with their buddies; it is an opportunity to give back to their local community. On June 15, Brooke and Brittany Henderson, two young women professional golfers who grew up in Smiths Falls, will host such an event – the Magenta Mortgage Pro-Am presented by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick and GMC Cadillac Ltd. in support of the Team Henderson 110% Club. One hundred and twenty-four amateur golfers have already signed up for

the event and will be teamed with 31 professional women golfers, including Brooke, Brittany and LPGA member and fellow Canadian, Alena Sharp. The event will be played at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club (SFGCC) to raise money for two local causes close to the Henderson family – the Lanark County Support Services and the DoefStrong Trust Fund. Both causes are worthy of support from the golf community. The Lanark County Support Services has been operational since 1981. This service, through its various components (Activity Centre, Life Skills, Transition Support Services and After School Program) provides

adults and young people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to become more independent in the community. Walk down the street or through the shops of any small town. See the smiles on the faces of the men and women who have benefited from these services. It will make you appreciate the people who work so tirelessly to bring happiness and more independence to these individuals. We all wish that trust funds like the DoefStrong Trust Fund were not necessary, but when tragedy strikes individuals or families, we can know that we live in caring small towns like Smiths Falls. Less than six months ago, Neil Doef, a member of the Smiths Falls Bears Junior

A hockey club, was considered talented enough to play in the World Junior A Hockey Challenge in Saskatchewan. During one of the games Neil suffered a devastating spinal cord injury. Since Neil’s accident, charity events held in Smiths Falls and other local communities have raised almost $250,000. Neil and his family deeply appreciate this financial support as it helps to remove a major hurdle during his rehabilitation process. He is especially touched by the kind words extended by so many family, friends and strangers. Brooke and Brittany Henderson would like to invite all golfers and fans of golf to come out and watch the par-

ticipants in their first Charity Pro-Am event.

If you, friends or family are members of the LGTBQ, come out to our June show for a great night! Our show will feature a special guest from Ottawa, so come out and show some spirit, pride and see why it is good to be different. LiPS guest for June is Lukayo Estrella, a spoken word artist, freelance writer, and community organizer whose work ranges

from the passionate to the political and is both hilarious and deeply moving all in one powerhouse package. Lukayo is a proud, sexpositive genderqueer, geek, transfeminist, survivor, and animist who is part of the Bikolano/Filipino diaspora. Known as a performer, writer, educator, and community organizer, Lukayo works with Agitate!

ent through a poetic panoply of possibilities. Well known across Canada, they competed at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word twice as part of an Ottawa team and a Wild Card team, and in 2011 they helped coach the Ottawa Youth Poetry Slam Team. Their poetry focuses on using

personal experiences and imagination to foster resiliency and empowerment, and we are so thrilled to have them feature at our PRIDE S.L.A.M. The S.L.A.M. will be on Friday, June 5 upstairs at The Thirsty Moose in Carleton Place. Show starts at 7 p.m. and admis-

Crusading against cancer

t’s a humbling thing to see generosity and community spirit come together and that’s exactly what the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life achieves. The annual fundraiser has deep roots in Lanark County, having been held in Smiths Falls for more than a decade, and is growing legs with the newer Mississippi Mills event at Almonte’s Gemmill Park. The overnight walk was designed as a way for participants to understand what a person with cancer feels like as they suffer through a sleepless night with the disease. It’s nearly June and that means it’s time once again for the inspiring evening. The Mississippi Mills Relay For Life this year is set for Friday, June 5 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., while the Smiths Falls fundraiser goes Friday, June 13 from 6 p.m. to midnight at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. Both events raise much-needed dollars for cancer research and are used here at home, in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark branch of the Canadian Cancer Society and last year brought in a combined total of more than $156,000.

If you’ve never participated or been a spectator at a Relay For Life event, you are missing out. There’s such a positive aura surrounding the location, whether it’s through the hundreds who walk into the night around the track, the live entertainment, or the countless volunteers who ensure the participants are well taken care of and continue to spread the message to fight back against cancer. But there is also a somber tone. Relay For Life celebrates just that, life, however it also honours those who struggled through their own cancer battles and lost. The luminary ceremony, which takes place at dusk is nothing short of breathtaking. Dozens of lights encased in paper bags line the track and are simultaneously lit with each bearing the name of a loved one either in memory or in tribute to their cancer fight. It’s quite a moving sight to see. We are all touched by cancer in some way. Events such as Relay For Life work toward a future without the horrible disease, which is a world we’d all like to live in.

be made into everyday tea towels, and sometimes, bloomers for me, which caused me great embarrassment if anyone accidentally saw the printing if I had to bend over. Aprons, or pinnys as we called them, were as important as the braided rugs on the floor. Flour bags made up the bulk of the aprons, but once a year Mother went to Walker’s Store in Renfrew and bought a few yards of a heavy white cotton that came on a long roller, not folded like the many bolts of Dan River cotton on the shelves, and this material was turned into longer aprons, which I thought at the time were made for someone at least six feet tall. They covered your entire body, from your neck to below your knees and for me

that meant right to the floor, with a goodly portion about my feet like a bed sheet. I had to wear one of these long pinnys when I churned butter, covering me from my chin to my ankles. And Mother wore a clean one every day.

Because, even if there wasn’t a spot on it, it had to be changed for a clean fresh one when she started her day. One of these long pinnys hung on a nail at the back door too, just in case some unexpected visitor came calling. It would never do to

From page 8

This was not a straight split among parties. Nine Conservative MPs did their homework and supported C-356. Now the Conservative government is claiming the bill encroached on provincial healthcare jurisdiction. In fact, as several media have reported, a deal had been reached between the Health Minister and the NDP for passage of the bill with several amendments. Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott even said there was nothing in the bill that could not be ﬁxed. Why do I care? My dear wife of almost 17 years, Lisa, was di-

were made and these were trimmed with pieces of Dan River cotton. Mother even made smaller aprons for me, and I was expected to wear one no matter what chore I was doing in the house. An apron was necessary, and that’s all there was to it! When Father was cooking up a meal of his German foods, he too, of course, had to wear a long white pinny. His wasn’t to cover his clothes and keep them free of ﬂying grease, but rather to give him something to wipe his hands on when he was stirring the

agnosed with frontotemporal dementia at the age of 43 and taken and placed into long-term care a mere two months later. Since that time, I am endeavouring to raise our three young children as best I can. However, in reality, I remain a widower with a living spouse. That May 6 evening, our youngest son Peter (10) valiantly watched the proceedings unfold in the House of Commons. Like me, he was hoping with all his might that MPs would do the right thing so that people like his mother would be assured of receiving the care they so desperately deserve. Alas, it didn’t happen. Both he and I were heart-

broken. The next day, the head of the Canadian Medical Association, Dr. Chris Simpson, called the result “a lost opportunity.” MP votes matter. Mr. O’Connor’s vote mattered. It is urgent that people understand the importance of those votes and each vote and listening to what people want. Despite the outcome, Peter and I remain resolved to do what Dr. Simpson has urged all Canadians to do – and that is to remember how MPs voted come the October election.

pans and pots on the stove. By the time his meal was ready, the apron was ready for the wash. My favourite aprons were the ones with bibs, which had a frill around them, always in a contrast to the apron itself. These were considered “company” aprons. Besides the one always-clean white apron that hung at the back door in case of unexpected company, all the aprons were kept in a washstand under the window looking out into the back yard. Why we needed so many aprons was beyond me. And when Monday washday

rolled around, it was a common sight to see at least a half dozen long white pinnys, one or two “company” aprons, and a couple half aprons on the clothes line, all hanging in order of course. Aprons were as necessary as ﬂourbag underwear back then, and expected to be just as spotless. Both very much a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The Lanark County Tourism Association is pleased to announce the launch of the first ever bilingual countywide cycle map. To date, cycling in the county has been fragmented and the map will be the first time that all communities are linked together. With a focus on creating unique experiences Lanark County businesses will be working to become certified cycling friendly, through Ontario by Bike, creating a network of businesses that together enhance our regions cycle tourism product. “Cycling is a growing

market worth millions of dollars that gets directly injected into our communities. The goal is not to simply produce a cycling map but to cultivate and develop a new sustainable tourism sector in Lanark County,” said Bob Mingie, chair of the Lanark County Tourism Association. Lanark is only a few kilometres from Ottawa but far enough away to take cyclists to the gentle pace of pastoral back roads, rolling hills and limestone farmhouses, food offerings that vary from local cafes, craft breweries and farmers’ markets to ﬁne dining and welcoming accom-

modators who are happy to open their doors and provide friendly hospitality. Whether visiting the county for an afternoon, day or an overnight stay, the experience is bound only by the imagination. The cycling maps will be distributed through a variety of networks including information centres, participating county businesses, bike and sports stores in Ottawa/ Gatineau, cycling clubs and online at Lanark County Tourism and Ontario by Bike.

Brown to finally be recognized in Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame By Jeff maguire

I noted in the previous column that I am a founding member of the Roy Brown Society of Carleton Place. Founded in 2009 the mandate of the organization is to establish and maintain a museum to honour Brown and 14 other Great War airmen from Carleton Place. The museum is now in operation although displays and artifacts will be housed in two locations. The original museum is in historic Moore House, located in downtown Carleton Place opposite the Town Hall. Because Moore House recently became the new home of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, a limited number of displays related to Roy Brown and the town’s aviation history will be housed there. However, with the assistance of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society and museum curator Jennifer Irwin, other displays and artifacts will be available at the society’s museum on Edmund Street in Carleton Place. I am pleased to report that the two societies are now working together to ensure that these truly incredible stories, keyed by the BrownRichthofen saga, will be properly told. That is signiﬁcant because it had not happened in Carleton Place for more than 90 years and was clearly overdue. Lots of interest In my previous column about Brown I said that before the induction ceremony I would relate another sidebar story I think readers will be interested in. Before that I want to thank all of those who sent emails or spoke to me in the wake of last month’s article. Obviously I’m not the only area person who is thrilled about Brown’s induction into the Aviation Hall of Fame. At the same time I have to say I was surprised with a small number of emails I received from people who are more interested in the ongoing debate over who ﬁred the shot that killed Richthofen on

Now for the related story. Eleven-year-old Nadine Carter, who lives near Ballantrae, Ontario spent months researching Roy Brown’s story and lobbying council in her community, WhitchurchStouffville, to commemorate the fact that Brown spent the ﬁnal years of his life (19391944) on a farm he purchased in that area. (See the story in this week’s edition of the Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette or online at www. insideottawavalley.com). Nadine has been See COLUMN page 12

Reflections

April 21, 1918. Obviously everyone is entitled to their point of view. But at this time I would far rather see the spotlight shone on Roy Brown and his part in this world famous incident. I also want to reiterate the point I made in the last column. No matter where you stand on this subject it’s obvious that had it not been for the actions of Captain Brown on that day nearly a century ago, the most famous war-time pilot in history would not have been shot down. Richthofen was credited with bringing down 80 enemy aircraft.

Next week I will be among a delegation from Carleton Place in attendance at Pearson Airport in Toronto as Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame inducts four new members. Among them will be Captain Arthur “Roy” Brown of Carleton Place, the First World War flyer who shot down famous German pilot Manfred von Richthofen, the highest scoring ace of the First World War. Brown, who died in 1944 at the tender age of 50, will be represented by family members including a grand-daughter and grandson. The other inductees are James Stuart “Jim” McBride, George Edward Miller, O.M.M., CD and the late Owen Bartley “O.B.” Philp, C.M., DFC, CD. All three men served with distinction in the Royal Canadian Air Force. McBride and Miller later moved into the private sector where they made significant contributions to Canadian aviation. Philp, who passed away in 1995, is known as the “Father of the Snowbirds” for the work he did, as base commander at Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan) to help launch the famed Snowbirds, Canada’s Armed Forces aerial demonstration team. The induction dinner is scheduled one week from today on Thursday, June 4. Also to be honoured by the Wetaskiwin, Alberta based Aviation Hall of Fame will be AeroVelo Inc. a Canadian firm who scored two amazing firsts in the field of “humanpowered flight” which, in recent years, have brought the company world-wide recognition. Two representatives of the firm will be on hand to receive the Belt of Orion Award for Excellence from the Aviation Hall of Fame. In April, to mark the 97th anniversary of Brown’s First World War victory over Richthofen, I wrote a column about the Carleton Place native and how richly he deserves the national recognition he will receive next week, albeit posthumously. I have been in touch with some of his family members and they are so proud of the honour that will be bestowed on their grandfather and uncle next Thursday night.

The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, May 13. Council has passed a bylaw approving an amendment (No. 3) to the Lanark County Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP) related to source water protection policies. The amendment is required in order to implement the Source Protection Plan for the Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Area, which is in accordance with the Clean Water Act, the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement 2014. The SCOP includes policies related to the protection of drinking water and mapping that identifies vulnerable areas and types of drinking water sources. Local municipalities are also required to adopt the policies, and the local plans must conform to the county’s official plan. Once the SCOP has been approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, local municipalities can adopt and submit their official plan amendments to the county for approval. A public meeting for the county’s amendment was held on March 25 and a request for comments was circulated as required. Comments were received and summarized in a technical report prior to the bylaw being passed. Council endorses motions related to beef farming Council has endorsed two recommendations from the economic development committee based on an update by the local Cattlemen’s Association at the Agriculture Advisory Working

absolutely tenacious on the matter of a proper commemoration for Brown in her community. We have all come to admire her tremendously. Her efforts have paid off bigtime. The municipal council have now decided to erect a plaque in memory of Roy Brown. Along with the plaque the young lady is hoping to convince school board officials to name a new school after Brown. In addition her research found that Brown’s remains were disinterred in 1955 (at the request of family evidently) and moved to the Necropolis Cemetery in downtown Toronto where his widow Edythe was buried. I will ask some questions about this in Toronto next week. But I have been told Brown’s ashes were buried in common ground.

Group last month. The committee learned beef producers are being urged to go to locations in Northern Ontario for increased production although there is significant land available in eastern Ontario, and that previously settled farms here could be used if proper external fencing were put in place, which would reduce freight costs. Council supported recommendations to endorse the Beef Farmers of Ontario in their efforts to lobby the provincial and federal governments to obtain funding that would enable producers to fence farm land suitable for pasturing beef animals, allowing producers to increase production. It also endorsed the group’s efforts to lobby the provincial government to provide external or line fence financial assistance to livestock producers. Awarding contract for active transportation/snowmobile structure Following a public works report on tender results, council agreed to award a contract to Beam Construction (1984) in the amount of $293,630 to complete the installation of an active transportation/snowmobile structure at the Mississippi River Bridge on County Road 511 north of Balderson. The structure would provide a separate crossing for snowmobiles, bicycles and pedestrians, for example. The project is funded in part by a National Trails Coalition grant, which covers 49 per cent of the expenditures to a maximum of $124,198. Janet Tysick, public works business manager, re-

Nadine’s research revealed that his gravesite is unmarked. She hopes his actual burial site can be located and a proper marker erected. Obviously that decision will rest with the Brown family. Not only has this youngster managed to raise Brown’s profile in the community where he died, she has also gained national attention for the cause. She has even managed to convince the local library to purchase copies of a book entitled ‘Captain Roy Brown: A True Story of the Great War, 1914-1918’. Roy Brown Society members were so impressed with her work that we passed the hat at our most recent meeting and easily came up with the $250 needed to purchase a ticket for Nadine to attend the induction dinner in Toronto next Thursday. Rob Probert told me that has now been finalized and she, along with at least

one of her parents, will be in attendance. I am really looking forward to meeting her. It took the efforts of an 11year-old school girl to shine a light on someone who clearly should have been recognized in that community. Hardly surprising when you consider that had it not been for the formation of the Roy Brown Society the famous First World War ace and 14 fellow Great War airmen would not have been properly recognized in Carleton Place, their hometown. Now, finally, Brown is also about to be honoured nationally and for me it will be an honour and a privilege to be there and witness this long overdue ceremony.

You do have the benefit of a principal residence tax exemption but you can apply it to just one property at a time and that can be either your cottage or your city home but the one you don’t choose will be subject to tax on its increased value. There will be tax consequences if your leave the property to your children in your will – so make sure there will be sufficient funds in your estate to pay any tax liabilities. Life insurance can be a good strategy for covering the capital gains on your cottage. The death benefits are usually tax-free and can be

The buzz around Perth is unmistakable...the musical The Drowsy Chaperone is an unqualified hit, and a must-see for anyone who loves great singing, dancing, costumes and comedy. Directed by C. Lee Bates, The Drowsy Chaperone is the hit Broadway musical that affectionately sends up the rip-roaring American Jazz Age, complete with all the live Jazz music and 1920s showbiz characters you could ask for. Pictured here are Adam Reid and Courtney Mason, two of the leads in this enormously entertaining show.

Dynamic Ottawa Valley Opry rolls into Carleton Place June 7 Another show in the popular Ottawa Valley Opry series is coming to the Carleton Place arena Sunday, June 7. Once again a stellar line-up of top Ottawa Valley entertainers will pay tribute to America’s best-loved Grand Ole Opry performers, featuring the music of Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Willy Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and more. The last show in Perth on Feb. 21 was completely sold out. Ottawa Valley Opry Night will showcase the talents of Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Freddy Dixon, Steve Piticco, Fred Ducharme and Peter Dawson along with guest performer Jamie McMunn, keyboardist Jack Denovan, singer Arlene Quinn and drummer Terry Kittmer. Steve Piticco, a guitarist since the age of 11, is known for his distinctive sound and style. The well-worn Fender Telecaster he has played since he was 15 has

helped him earn recognition as the Canadian Country Music Association’s guitar player of the year and instrumentalist of the year many times. He will soon be heading to Germany to open for legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen. Fred Ducharme, a 2010 hall of fame inductee, is a multi-instrumentalist whose musical talents can be heard on more than a dozen CDs recorded by local artists. Peter Dawson joined the hall of fame in 1999. He began to play the fiddle at age five, and went on to serve as staff fiddler for radio station WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia in the 1950s. Louisiana-born fiddle legend Doug Kershaw was once Dawson’s roommate. The BC native returned to Canada in 1960, and owned and operated Ottawa’s Fiddle Factory for many years. Freddy Dixon was chosen as Entertainer of the Year by the hall of fame in 2000. He is hard at work on a new CD to be titled,

Them Good Ole Boys. One of Dixon’s original compositions, Last Fatal Duel, was recorded by Stompin’ Tom Connors. Over the years he has shared the stage with other top country artists such as Lynn Anderson, Dave Dudley, George Hamilton IV, Ronnie Prophet, Dallas Harms, Stonewall Jackson, Johnny Duncan, Bobby Bare, and Jean Shepheard. Singer-songwriter Jamie McMunn is the son of the late Ron McMunn, known throughout the Valley as the “Silver Fox.” Vocalist Arlene Quinn, said Dixon, is “the queen of country music” and “a very positive life force.” Quinn has given generously to others, and has done a lot for Ottawa Valley country music, he added. The master of ceremonies for the evening is Charlie Kitts, also a hall of fame member in recognition of his long-time contributions to country music in the Ottawa Valley. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St in Perth, at Temptations, 117 Bridge St in Carleton Place, or at the door. The show is sponsored by Home Hardware and Lake 88, and is a Shamrock International Records production.

Register today for Entrepreneur Week breakfast Ottawa and area business leaders are invited to get their day off to a running start at the annual Ontario Entrepreneur Week breakfast Monday, June 15. Sponsored by Metroland Media, this high-energy event will run from 7 to 9 a.m. at the Ottawa Conference & Event Centre, 200 Coventry Rd. “We are so pleased to be able to bring this wonderful event to Ottawa again this year,” said Mike Mount, Vice-President and Regional Publisher with Metroland East. “The breakfast offers like-minded business people an opportunity to network in a relaxed setting and learn about a remarkable Canadian entrepreneurial success story.” Prepare to be inspired by this year’s guest speaker, John Stanton, founder of the Run-

ning Room. His enthusiasm for life is infectious and that will flow through his presentation as he shares the challenges and triumphs he’s experienced over his more than 25 years in business. Like so many entrepreneurs, Stanton started small and dreamed big. From a single meeting place for running enthusiasts at the back of a shop, the Running Room has grown to more than 100 locations across Canada and the United States. The 1,300 employees who share his vision have touched the lives of more than a million Canadians over the years, encouraging us and demonstrating how running and walking lead to greater fitness and health. Beyond his obvious business acumen is Stanton’s zest for life and his ability to motivate others.

From an overweight and out-ofshape executive who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day 30 years ago, he has now run more than 60 marathons, hundreds of road races, several triathlons including the World Ironman in Hawaii. Taking the stage before Stanton will be local entrepreneur Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks. Sparks and her father, high tech mogul Terry Matthews, are revitalizing the former Nepean National Equestrian Park off Corkstown Road with the goal of attracting top-flight show jumping competitors to Ottawa. Don’t miss the June 15 event where Sparks and Stanton will bring inspiring messages to the business breakfast in Ottawa. Register today at ontarioentrepreneurweek.com/2015-event/.

The procedure involves taking 70 per cent of a donor’s healthy liver and transplanting it into a patient in liver failure who has no other options for survival.

said Dr. Atul Humar, MOT Program Medical Director at UHN. “Organ donation or the lack of the available donors is the single biggest challenge we face as a multiple organ transplant program. It’s why our patients die because they are not able to get an organ on time.” Dr. Humar noted any appeal like this can help get potential donors to register online to be an organ donor after death. “It’s truly humbling to work with this patient,” said Dr. Ian McGilvray, the transplant surgeon who performed the procedure. “I can’t think of anything else in modern medicine where you take a completely healthy, well

thanking the donor for his generosity as well as the team at the MOT program. “To the anonymous donor, you are an incredible person and we truly admire your unselﬁsh act of kindness and courage to be a living liver donor,” reads the statement.

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and a liver donor have started the post-liver transplantation recovery a transplant procedure, Tuesday, May 19. The donor was one of more than 500 people who stepped forward after a public appeal was made by the Ottawa Senators for a living liver transplantation donor. The donor was chosen only a few days after the appeal was made. “The (donor’s) motivation to do this is to help Mr. Melnyk to return to good health, to enjoy his family and friends, and most importantly, to bring the Stanley Cup home to the Ottawa Senators,” said Dr. David Grant, director of the living donor liver transplant program at Toronto’s University Health Network. Dr. Grant noted that the donor hopes that others will be inspired by his story, and that both the donor and Melnyk are in stable condition and recovering. The donor has chosen to remain anonymous to both the public and Melnyk. Melnyk went into liver failure and decided to appeal to the public while on the wait list for a deceased liver transplantation donor, and after none of his close friends or family were a successful match for a donation. “Live liver donation is offered as an option to these patients as a way to reduce the risk of dying while waiting for a scarce or deceased liver transplant,” said Dr. Grant at a news conference at Toronto General Hospital, Thursday May 21. The University Health Network’s Multi-Organ transplant (MOT) team doesn’t help a patient solicit a live donor, but will assess whether those who come forward are a suitable match. Melnyk’s procedure will now free up his place on the deceased liver transplant waiting list. There are currently around 1,500 people waiting for a transplant and not all may have the option of a live transplant. Twenty of the people who came forward to donate have decided to continue the process and donate to someone else in need. “Many lives will be saved as a result of this appeal and we as a community should be proud of these heroic and caring individuals,” said Grant. One in three people waiting for a transplant in Ontario will die because a donor doesn’t become available in time. “This appeal is a win-win situation,”

regenerate itself in both the donor and the recipient (Melnyk) to virtually the same size as it was before. Melnyk and his donor will both be in recovery at the hospital for one to two weeks, and then at home for three to four months afterwards. Melnyk’s family released a statement

Have a heart: help replace CHEO cardiopulmonary bypass machine Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Adeline Marguerite Mahoney is a beautiful baby girl. She lives in Kemptville with her family and is just like any other ten-month-old crawling around on the ﬂoor, playing with boxes and books. But Adeline isn’t exactly like any other baby. She was born with congenital heart disease. “As a parent, you can’t believe how difﬁcult it is to hear there is something wrong with your child’s heart,” said Sandra Zimmerman Mahoney, Adeline’s mother. Heart defects occur in one out of every 100 births in Canada, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation website. Mahoney found out her baby had congenital heart disease when she was 34 weeks pregnant. She is mother to three other daughters as well – Aryanna, Aysley and Annalena. “During an ultrasound, the sonographer said something didn’t look right,” said Mahoney. “They wanted to take a closer look at her heart. They sent us to Cardiology at CHEO to complete a fetal echocardiogram, which is like an ultrasound on the heart. It showed she has congenital heart disease.” Mahoney, although devastated by the news, focused on the doctor’s words. “It was serious, but treatable,” said Mahoney. “I just tried to stay

Adeline Marguerite Mahoney, ten-months-old, has congenital heart disease. She underwent open heart surgery at CHEO in March. The cardiopulmonary bypass machine, which is on its last legs and will no longer be safe to use in the near future, kept her alive for 282 minutes during the surgery. focused on that.” She was induced at the Ottawa General Hospital, where she gave birth to Adeline. “The birth and the moments following were planned ahead of time,” she explained. “They told us (Mahoney and her husband) exactly what would happen. After she was born, she was trans-

ported immediately to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) at CHEO. I got to hold her for a few moments ﬁrst, for the skinto-skin bonding. Then, my husband went with her to CHEO and I followed as soon as I could – a couple of hours later.” She explained the fetal echocardiogram provides doctors

with signiﬁcant information pertaining to a baby’s heart health, but they don’t know more after a baby is born. “She did really well,” said Mahoney. “She was out of the NICU after less than 48 hours. The doctors and nurses at CHEO made us feel very comfortable. They were very thorough and on

top of everything.” She explained surgery, to repair the holes in Adeline’s heart and expand the main artery, was originally planned for her fourmonth milestone. However, it was changed ﬁve times. “She had surgery on March 17, when she was eight-months old,” said Mahoney. “She stayed at CHEO for 16 days following the surgery. I stayed at CHEO and the Ronald McDonald House for the duration.” She explained some babies need surgery right away. “Open heart surgery is risky, period, let alone on a newborn baby,” said Mahoney. She said prior to the surgery, Adeline was at risk for Tet spells. “What that means is if she cried too much, she was at risk for having a spell where we may have to call 911 because there isn’t enough oxygen going to her brain,” said Mahoney. “Thankfully, we managed with CHEO’s support. It was very difﬁcult. Breast-feeding was a big calmer downer. I had to learn to move fast whenever she even whimpered.” She said Adeline improved greatly after the surgery – more energy, better color and noticeably improved health. “She still has congenital heart disease and she’ll need another surgery down the road,” said Mahoney. “But she’s alive and she’s healthy.”

She explained when Adeline ﬁnally woke up from the deep sleep she was put in during the surgery, Adeline yelled. “I just laughed,” said Mahoney. “As her parents, we noticed the difference right away.” Many emotions Incredible relief barely touches on the true emotions she felt following Adeline’s surgery. “There was a whole bunch of moments,” said Mahoney. “Remember the days you had your children? It’s like a roller coaster of emotions. It was an epiphany for me. I am still riding high. Look at her! She’s alive!” The day after Adeline’s surgery, she went on Facebook to view one of the cardiology parent groups at CHEO and someone had put up a link. “It was a YouTube video, with Dr. Gyanndeo Maharajh, the Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at CHEO, talking about the cardiopulmonary bypass machine needing to be replaced,” said Mahoney. “Imagine watching that, the day after that machine kept your daughter alive for 282 minutes.” She explained the cardiopulmonary bypass machine, which keeps children at CHEO alive during surgery by taking over the function of their heart and lungs two or three times a week, is near the end of its lifespan.

CHEO machine saves lives The CPB machine costs roughly $500,000. To watch the video, visit https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=RbRMAA6W_ gE. “At first, $500,000 is hard to absorb,” said Mahoney. “But if everyone in the City of Ottawa donated 50 cents, then CHEO would be able to buy a new machine. If everyone in North Grenville donated $32, then that would cover the cost. What is $32? A toy for your kid? A shirt? Wouldn’t you rather that money go towards saving children’s lives? It’s a big number, but not if everyone pitched in what they can.” She explained the machine is essential to many parents living within Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. “There is another available cardiopulmonary bypass machine in Toronto at the Sick Kids Hospital,” said Mahoney. “We need a new one here, because we don’t know if some babies and children would even make it that far.” Long journey She explained her journey from mother and teacher to fundraiser has been long. “I just feel so strongly about the people and place that saved my daughter’s life,” said Mahoney. “They need this machine at CHEO and we as citizens have to do whatever we can to help.” She explained her Crowd Funding campaign was set up through the CHEO Foundation. To donate to the ‘Hair for Hearts’ Crowd Funding campaign, visit http://bit.ly/hairforhearts or write a check to the CHEO Foundation, specifying the funds are for the new cardiopulmonary bypass machine. So far, she has raised nearly $3,000, with help from Kemptville Public School, who organized a basket raffle to raise money for CHEO, resulting in a recent donation of $1,000. KPS is currently taking donations for Father’s Day Baskets for another raffle. “It really shows what this community is about, when you ask your child’s

school for help and they do that,” said Mahoney. “It’s amazing. I have lived here for almost 10 years and I’m not leaving. All my kids are going to grow up in this community because it means so much to us.” Her goal is $10,000, but she hopes to surpass it. When she reaches her goal, Mahoney is going to shave her head. “It’s just hair,” Mahoney said with a laugh. “My daughter had open heart surgery. I don’t care about my hair.” She said her daughter was in intensive care at CHEO for five days after her surgery. “That’s what the people at CHEO do. They save lives using expensive machines. Now they need us to help them.” She said people are going to ask why CHEO needs these donations to purchase expensive equipment, considering we have a health care program in place. “Ontario Health only provides funds for essential services,” said Mahoney. “The people at the CHEO Foundation explain that because they have a cardiopulmonary bypass machine in Toronto, Ontario won’t provide the funds for one at CHEO.” She said she won’t stop until she reaches her goal and wishes to appeal to the community for help. “I look after my children and think about this machine,” said Mahoney. “That’s all I do.” She said it would be incredible to see local businesses in North Grenville step forward to contribute to the ‘Hair for Hearts’ campaign. “This machine is going to help the future generation,” said Mahoney. “This is our kids we’re talking about. They are the ones who are going to grow up to work and shop within this community. We need them to be healthy.” Please view and share http://bit.ly/ hairforhearts for more information and to make a direct donation to the CHEO Foundation for the new bypass machine. Mahoney encourages people to contact her by e-mail at kville_sandra@hotmail. com to join her in her fundraising efforts.

Blue Gypsy Wines in Oxford Mills make it onto LCBO shelves jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The best part of wine is the experience. Louis Gaal, co-owner of Blue Gypsy Wines in Oxford Mills, alongside wife Claire Faguy, said his love of wine stems from the conversations associated with enjoying a glass. The local winery has made it onto LCBO shelves and shoppers can expect to see Blue Gypsy cranberry wine for sale in Ottawa stores sometime in May or June. “We’re hoping to get it in the Kemptville LCBO as well,” said Gaal. Gaal, originally from Montreal, lived with Faguy in the United States for 10 years, before moving back to Canada in 2006. “When our time in the States was running out because our visas were about to expire, we started talking about what to do when we returned to Canada,” explained Gaal. “We lived in Poughkeepsie, New York, and while there, we visited many wineries. It’s in the middle of two or three winery trails and we would go out for Sunday afternoon drives. We really enjoyed the experience.” Those visits prompted an idea - to open their own winery. Gaal loves wine because of the stories behind it. “I just enjoy the fact you sit down with a glass of wine and drink it slow-

late mead.’ And I said no; it will never sell. So I ended up making the mead and we sold 17 cases in a month. So when she said the next time, ‘you’re going to make a caramel mead,’ I did it.” He explained getting Blue Gypsy wines into the LCBO was a two-year process, due to a missing piece of paper, which resulted in the passing of a deadline. “The LCBO people are really good to work with,” said Gaal. “Usually, it’s a one-year process or so, but we made a mistake. When we submitted the paperwork the following year, the wine went straight to the tasting stage of the process.” He said Blue Gypsy is a tiny winery. “It’s a tiny winery, with big dreams,” said Gaal. “We work very hard because our sales are not massive. We make the most of our marketing budget by using social media and word of mouth.” Blue Gypsy also has a permanent table at the Metcalfe Farmers Market, which is used to showcase their wine vinegar and introduce the winery indirectly. “We sell wine online as well and you can pick it up at the farmers market,” said Gaal. Wherever possible, purchasing products locally is an important aspect of the Blue Gypsy philosophy. “We grow some of our own fruit,” said Gaal. “What we don’t have enough of, we buy. As a small business owner, I

really appreciate the local people, who stop by to visit. The truth is, the local people will keep you alive when times are not great. I have to do my part to support local business. I rely on them as much as they rely on me.” He said the winery is completely offgrid. “We want to leave the smallest ecological footprint possible,” he said, explaining the big thing about Blue Gypsy wines is no sulfites are added. “Our wines are not sulfite free,” said Gaal. “There are naturally occurring sulfites, but we don’t add any. People who generally get headaches from wine, don’t get headaches from ours.” Blue Gypsy is hosting various upcoming fundraisers to sponsor a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder service dog. “We are holding three astronomy nights in the coming months and a big festival at the winery on July 4, from 5 p.m. to 12 midnight.” said Gaal. “There will be five bands performing. It will be lots of fun. The cost is $20 per person – free if you’re under the age of 12 – and every cent is going towards sponsoring a PTSD service dog.” Check out the Blue Gypsy Wines Facebook page for further details on upcoming events. Blue Gypsy opened for the season on May 15. Stop by for a tasting, which includes six or seven varieties at a fee of $5, on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

In last week’s edition of the Kemptville Advance, there was a picture of an employee at Rideau Glen Golf Course, which ran in conjunction with the story about the new management. The employee’s name was incorrect - her name is Ashley, not Stephanie. The Advance apologizes for any confusion or inconvenience this error caused.

Get ready for Hey Day

RAISE YOUR HAND FOR JOBS IN CANADA

This year’s Hey Day will take place on the second weekend in June at the North Grenville Curling Club, 200 Reuben Crescent, Kemptville. Sale hours are Friday, June 12 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., and Saturday, June 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This bargain-hunter’s dream – the region’s largest and most awaited yard sale – has been organized by the Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary every year since 1961. Shoppers are usually lined up for a block or more on Friday evening, waiting to get first crack at bargains in appliances, books, clothing, china, furniture, jewelry, linens, plants, sporting good, toys and much more. They also want first choice of goodies at the bake sale table. During the event, tired shoppers can refresh themselves at the canteen with fresh sandwiches, coffee or soft drinks and slices of homemade pie.

Relay For Life ‘Team Kelly’ fights against cancer with pride jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The Relay For Life 2015 in Brockville will be held at the 1000 Islands Mall on June 12 from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. the following day. “A team member has to be on the track at all times,” said Coville. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, relay participants walk or run together around a track or path at a local school, park or fairground, passing a baton to their fellow participants and working together toward one common goal the fight against cancer. So far, ‘Team Kelly’ has 12 members, including Kelly’s two daughters. Her son, who

lives out west, will be taking part in spirit. During the event, all the team members will be wearing shirts that read ‘F*** Cancer.’ To donate to ‘Team Kelly,’ visit http://convio.cancer.ca/ site/TR/RelayForLife/ and click on Relay For Life, then donate and type in the name Kelly McGregor or ‘Team Kelly.’ The staff at the Brockville Health Unit is also organizing fundraising events to contribute to ‘Team Kelly.’ “We just want to raise Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND awareness,” said Coville. Erin Devereaux and Cathy Coville, members of ‘Team Kelly’ for Relay “Everyone knows someone For Life in Brockville. affected by cancer.”

You never truly understand battling cancer until someone close to you is diagnosed. Kelly McGregor, a 47-yearold mother of three and resident of Brockville, was diagnosed with breast cancer in March. Erin Devereaux and Cathy Coville, both nurses at the Kemptville District Hospital, have started a Relay For Life team in honour of Kelly – Erin’s cousin and Cathy’s best friend. “Erin and Kelly are like my family,” said Coville. Relay For Life is a fundraising campaign, organized by the Canadian Cancer Society, to raise funds for cancer research. “Part of the money raised stays within the community, to help cover transportation costs for cancer patients to get treatments and support groups,” said Coville. “The rest goes towards cancer research.” They registered a team for Relay For Life right after Kelly was diagnosed. “We felt so helpless,” said Coville. “We needed something to focus on.” So far, ‘Team Kelly’ has raised over $1,400 for cancer research, with more fundraising efforts still in the works. “We have until June 12 to raise money and we are going to do whatever we can in that time,” said Devereaux. The team’s original goal was $1,000, which they surpassed within the first two weeks of fundraising. In addition to collecting donations, they sold Hope & Strength Bracelets. An upcoming cookie sale at the KDH and a local basket raffle will also add to the funds. One of Kelly’s daughters is still busy collecting donations at her high school in Smiths Falls. “If we raise $1,500, which we will, two of our co-workers, Harold Westendorp and Anita Baker, have offered to

shave their heads on June 9 at 9:30 a.m. at the hospital,” said Devereaux. They said Kelly’s diagnosis came out of nowhere. “She is very active,” said Devereaux. “She ran every day. She was on a ball hockey team with me. We recently renamed the ball hockey team after her. She also played volleyball with Cathy.” She said there is no family history of breast cancer and the diagnosis came as a complete shock. “For everyone, including Kelly,” said Devereaux. They said Kelly is the type of person who is liked by everyone. “She would do anything for anyone,” said Devereaux. Kelly has been off work, from the Health Unit in Brockville, since she began chemotherapy. The health unit is also hard at work fundraising for ‘Team Kelly.’ “Kelly is very positive,” said Coville. “She knows she is going to beat this disease.” “We know she can beat it too,” said Devereaux. “She is very strong.” She said the reality of cancer doesn’t set in until it affects someone close to you. “You don’t realize what they go through until someone close to you goes through it,” said Devereaux. “It creates a different perspective, especially when it’s so unexpected.” As nurses, they see cancer all the time. “It doesn’t hit you until it’s someone you love,” said Coville. They explained support is the biggest thing for people diagnosed with cancer. “Financial, emotional, mental and physical,” said Devereaux. “You need every kind of support when you go through the treatments.” Kelly has one grandchild and another on the way. “She has so much to live for,” said Devereaux. “It’s not her time yet.”

OPINION Face painting fiasco

took my three children to the Dandelion Festival this past weekend. Near the end of our two-hour jaunt through downtown Kemptville, which featured primarily vendors, my oldest son decided he wanted to get his face painted. He had already gone down the bouncy slide a number of times and checked out the exhibit of critters. Naturally, the next step was to cover his face in paint. We walked over to the stand and waited in line. While standing there, I noticed a sign with some examples of designs kids could choose from. Above the smaller designs was a price - $2 to $5. I’ve never before paid for my son to have his face painted and he’s been to a number of local festivals annually since he was born. After all, festivals receive a number of grants and sponsorships, intended to cover costs for fun activities to attract visitors. However, I shrugged it off. The $5 was probably to cover the cost of materials. I left my son, $10 bill in hand, at the stand for ﬁve minutes to go check something out across the street. When I came back, his face was half painted. I told him the design he chose - ice and ﬁre dragon – was really cool and he looked awesome.

e’re gettin’ older, that is for sure. My doctor put me on B12 shots once a month because my body isn’t absorbing vitamins properly. I guess I could have been eating French fries for lunch every day instead of trying to eat healthy, for all the effect it had. The Farmer follows the male tradition of not consuming anything but coffee until noon. If he is working outside, he doesn’t eat lunch on time either. And he seems to think if you drink water you will only get thirstier. I would like him to live to a ripe old age, so I normally whisk down to the kitchen and whip him up a breakfast sandwich before he heads out to the barn on weekends. Weekdays, however, are a different story. I couldn’t get him to eat anything before leaving for the ofﬁce. Then we started watching Downton Abbey. “I wouldn’t mind breakfast in bed,” he announced one day. So I toasted him some special sourdough raisin bread that a friend found for us and instead of spreading it with English marmalade, slathered it with crunchy peanut but-

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

The lady painting his face turned to me and said, “This one costs $12.” I looked at her funny, like she had said pigs the world over had grown wings and learned how to fly, all the while trying to resist the urge to laugh. I told her that my son only had $10, which was clearly visible in his hand, and that I had no other cash on me, which was entirely true. She paused for a moment and said, “oh, well I already told him I would do it for $10, so that’s fine.” I bit my tongue. I was astounded that even though my son had already told this lady he only had $10 and she had already agreed that would be enough, she still tried to get the other $2 out of me. After she was done painting my son’s face, for the low-low price of $10, she handed me a pamphlet and said she also did birthday parties. The Dandelion Festival is supposed to be a fun, family oriented event in Kemptville. Perhaps, next year, the focus should return to its roots – providing free activities for kids, rather than good foot traffic for vendors.

Breathtaking sunset in Burritts Rapids

North Grenville is a beautiful place to live. With so much to admire, it’s hard to know which spots to check out. This picture was taken on the Tip to Tip trail in Burritts Rapids.

ter, for protein. The first day, he ate two slices. The second, just one. By the third day our bed was so full of toast crumbs I put a kybosh on the whole campaign. What was I thinking? The final three cows finally had their babes, one right after the other. The Farmer put one set in the barn and then took off on a real estate journey to Peterborough, without informing me. I went out to the barnyard in the morning and counted twelve head of cattle. That’s what we have. Eleven cows and one bull. I thought it a bit strange that the Farmer had decided to let the most recent mother out with the general population so soon after giving birth. Normally we lock them up in the stable for close to a week while they

bond with their young. I counted the babies and only found seven. We had seven the week before. Where was the new number eight? I gave up and waited a few hours. Went back out in the afternoon. Again, only seven calves could be found. They napped together in a puddle of fur beside the stone fence, a cow kindergarten watched over by one mother while the rest of the cattle grazed. I started to worry about the missing calf. As the sun went down I walked the perimeter of the pasture, looking for a newborn calf tucked into the thorn bushes. Nothing. Finally the Farmer came home. “The new calf is in the barn, of course,” he said calmly. “Well its mother is outside!” I announced. The poor baby had been locked up all day without anything to eat or drink. Lola, an apparent escape artist, was new at this whole child-rearing thing and decided she would rather be out in the meadow with her crew than locked up with her young. The Farmer opened the door to the barn and the new mama walked back in, defeated. The next day, she broke out again. Again, the door swung shut be-

hind her, locking her calf in. On the third day, the Farmer put an iron gate across the door for additional reinforcement. By sunset she had it shoved to the side and had escaped once again. Then another cow gave birth. At last Lola had company in the barn and for the last few days of her lock-up, she stayed put. The bull has proven his mettle. Earned his bull badge. He impregnated all eleven cows. Not his fault that one calf was too big and died in childbirth. We have ten beautiful, healthy calves, most of them male. Only one or two of them needed selenium to help them with the suckling instinct. None of them

needed to be bottle fed. It’s been quite a success. The Farmer is celebrating the good season by spending hours every day on his tractor, pulling his new red manure spreader over his ﬁelds. By the end of each day his clothing is so rank he has to peel it off and leave it on the porch because I won’t allow it in the house unless it’s going straight into the washer. Come to think of it, maybe those weren’t all toast crumbs in the bed. I am going to look into installing an outdoor shower. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianaﬁsher1@gmail.com

Volunteers needed for Ribfest

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville will be kicking off their Fifth Annual Kemptville Ribfest at the North Grenville Municipal Centre from June 12 to 14, 2015. Proceeds from this event go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville mentoring programs. Big Brothers Big Sisters Kemptville RibFest is seeking volunteers for this year’s event. This volunteer opportunity is a great way for you to experience Ribfest first hand. High school students can gain their community service hours by volunteering throughout the weekend. There are many volunteer opportunities to fit anyone’s schedule and interests! We are always looking for help at the concession trailer, making Blooming Onions and Funnel Cakes! Maybe you’d rather try your hand at making fresh squeezed lemonade, sno cones and cotton candy. You could also help out in our Kidzone where you can do some face painting, supervise Bounce Houses, or help out with mini-putting and games. If that’s not your taste, we could always use some helping hands in the information tent. Volunteers to help set up and tear down are always extremely appreciated. For more information and to register, go to www.kemptvilleribfest.ca/volunteer/ or call 1-866-344-9972.

SunSmart Solar in Kemptville is not just a relatively new successful addition to the North Grenville business community, it is, for owner and president Rob Beckers, an expression of his own philosophy about energy efficiency and sustainable living. Beckers, an engineer and committed environmentalist, started out in Manotick in 2006. He created his first company called Solacity which is also alive and well existing alongside his SunSmart operation. Both companies share a space in his new building in Kemptville. While SunSmart Solar offers area residents the latest in renewable energy products, particularly solar panels that are designed to be installed on a roof, the building that Beckers and his staff work from exemplifies his personal desire to create an energy-efficient workplace. The dreams about a more energyefficient future are no longer dreams but are becoming part of our present day reality. The province of Ontario has a program called MicroFIT that lets homeowners install solar panels, allowing them to sell the electricity they generate to the Ontario grid. Not only does the roof over a homeowner’s head protect them from the elements it earns money for them as well. FIT stands for Feed in Tariff and with panels from SunSmart Solar a homeowner can expect to generate a rate of return of 9.1 per cent annually over the life of the program’s contract, which is 20 years. It takes around 10 years on average for the solar panels to generate a profit but it is well worth the wait. The MicroFIT program is becoming increasingly attractive to homeowners, churches, farmers, municipalities, universities, schools, co-ops, hospitals and aboriginal communities. SunSmart Solar handles all of the paperwork from the initial application to installation. There are no hidden fees and all costs are given up front. When Beckers decided to expand his Manotick business, he chose North Grenville because of the obvious growth there but also because area residents seemed to understand the importance of finding sustainable ways to live. High energy costs have reached a tipping point for many residents. A desire to find alternatives to fossil fuels is now the norm. When the time came to design and build a structure that would house his business Beckers was determined to come up with a building plan that put to rest the idea that energy efficiency and sustainability was beyond the financial means of the average residents or business owner. The SunSmart Solar headquarters in Kemptville, at 825 Van Buren St. just past Townline Road, is a fine example of thoughtful planning, efficient use of modern day renewable energy products and a determination to demonstrate that affordable renewable energy products

was a reality. “The idea was to build something that was more sustainable than your average industrial building,” said Beckers. He looked at the cost of designing his building in a traditional way and found that the cost to design it the way he believed it should be was less than 10 per cent more than the cost of a traditional industrial building. We live in a time when you will not be able to afford not to be energy efficient, said Beckers. His building won the 2014 Butler Commercial Building Award. Butler Manufacturing created the award to recognize builders who use their products in unique ways. The building was designed by John Donkin, an Ottawa architect, and Rob Beckers, and was built by BBS Construction of Ottawa. The SunSmart Solar building features a south facing front. “The office uses free heat from the sun through passive solar for most of its heating in winter,” said Beckers. The building is 9,000 sq. feet with 7,000 reserved for warehouse space and the remaining 2,000 sq. feet for office space. Some of the many innovative design features of the building are its straw bale wall design for its insulation, its slanted roof designed to allow its solar panels to achieve maximum efficiency, front windows and light shelving to deliver sunlight into the office part of the building and adjustable window awnings. “When the solar panels are installed on the roof, the building will produce twice as much energy as it uses, including the energy for heating,” according to Beckers. Beckers solved the challenge of heating his building by circulating hot water through the cement floors. The heat comes from a ground source (geothermal) heat pump. “We have 6,400 feet of plastic pipe buried under the parking lot, about 7 to 8 feet deep,” said Beckers. “Anti-freeze is circulated through there, it is made up of 20 per cent ethanol. Even in the coldest time of winter that fluid comes back in at around plus 5 C,” he said. The heat-pump takes out about 4C and puts it back in the ground at around freezing, then the earth heats it up again to plus 5C. “The other side of the heatpump delivers that heat as plus 40C water and that’s circulated through the concrete slab to heat the building,” said Beckers. The end result is reliable and sustainable heat for the building that keeps energy costs down. The only concession to conventional roof design was to have an overhang to ensure moisture was kept away from the straw bale walls.

A Small Hole Can Sink a Big Ship A proverb states that, “For want of a nail the horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost.” All this due to the want of a nail! Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked that trivial things often decide the outcome of a battle. They can also decide the outcome of your health. It’s tragic that one in five North Dr. Gifford-Jones Americans have no teeth after the age of 65. It’s also unfortunate that many people naively believe that poor dental hygiene simply means loss of teeth. Think again, because being toothless could end your life. Mother’s advice was right, that teeth should be brushed after every meal. But Mother can’t be expected to be perfect, and what she didn’t know causes gum disease (gingivitis). What happens is that gums become infected and pull away from teeth, forming deep pockets where bacteria accumulate. And for want of good gums, the result may be bad breath, infection, lost teeth and other health problems. For example, infection lurking in diseased gums can spread in blood circulation to the heart, causing a condition called bacterial endocarditis. When this happens, bacteria infect the heart’s valves which separate the chambers of the heart. This can be a life-threatening condition. For example, bacteria can travel to the brain causing a stroke. Or bacteria carried by the blood can create pockets of pus in the kidney and other organs. Bacterial endocarditis, if left untreated, can, on rare occasions, result in either severe disability or death. Valves infected by bacteria become inefficient allowing some blood to remain in the heart’s chambers. This makes the heart’s muscle work harder and eventually death results from congestive heart failure. What a tragedy all for the want of good dental hygiene! Several years ago a Sottish Health Survey revealed that those who had gingivitis showed an increase of C-Reactive Protein and fibrinogen in their blood. The blood tests indicated a general inflammatory process was taking place in arteries. Researchers concluded this resulted in a 25 to 75 percent increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A report from the Mayo Clinic says that gingivitis has even been linked to premature birth and low birth weight. Gingivitis has also played a role in the epidemic of diabetes. Patients who have diabetes are more prone to develop infections and also more likely to suffer from diseased gums. These pockets of infection make it more difficult for patients to control blood sugar levels. But what was lacking in Mother’s advice? Unfortunately she had not read enough history to provide the best information about preventing gingivitis. In the 15th century Professor Givanna of Padua University suggested, “If all particles of food were removed from between teeth after each meal and the mouth cleaned night and morning, care could be effective”. Mothers were unaware that children and adults can brush their teeth a dozen times after each meal and food will still be left between them. This no man’s land between teeth traps food, promotes infection, pulls gums away from teeth and destroys the tough periodontal fibers that hold teeth in place. The solution to preventing gingivitis is easy and obvious. Some prefer using dental floss. But for years I’ve preferred StimU-Dents, similar but better than toothpicks, to remove particles of food from between teeth. And in my 92nd year I have not lost a single tooth. Years ago I realized how hard it is to get preventative health messages across. I spent several days aboard the USS Nimitz, the nuclear aircraft carrier. The average age of the crew was 19 and it required seven dentists on board to repair dental decay in 6,000 sailors! Small things in life can make a big difference. It’s been said that a small hole can sink a big ship. And that for the want of a nail a battle and a kingdom can be lost. And for the want of Stim-U-Dents or dental floss, teeth more precious than diamonds can be lost. R0013292896_0528

She explained 95 per cent of the stafﬁng hours at the centre during the pilot project were volunteered. “The projected annual cost of running this centre is $170,000,” said Illauq. “That ﬁgure includes salaries, rent and utilities.” She explained the two most common issues heard during counseling sessions at the centre were domestic abuse and sexual violence. “Payment is often a barrier for clients, even on a sliding scale,” said Illauq. She said they have applied for charitable status and hope to hear back in July. She explained the centre had many health and wellness partners, including the Kemptville District Hospital and KDH Foundation, Lanark and Leeds Grenville Health Unit, Community Safety and Wellness Counsel, Champlain LHIN, Leeds Grenville Child and Youth Mental Health, OnRita Jacobs photo tario Works, House of Lazarus and Rideau Crossing Family Health Centre.

She said the basis of the centre’s work is comprehension, compassion and connection. She said the centre requires a letter of support from the municipality, to assist in the application process for charitable status. “I know this pilot project was successful,” said Mayor David Gordon, “but the most important thing is getting charitable status. There is funding waiting for you.” She said the centre also has a backup plan, if charitable status in not given in the near future, to partner with Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network). “Who will take us under their wing until we can get our own charitable status,” said Illauq. “We hope to be up and running soon. I would love to say September, but I can’t say for sure.”

GARDENER’S CORNER

R0013291227_0528

Your Garden, Our Garden

Angie and I have been fortunate to visit many gardens over the years. Some private, some public and some as part of a garden tour. We have also been host gardeners on a few tours. The diversity of comments from other gardeners never fails to amaze. Some of the folks are critical, others inspired. It seems that everyone has an opinion of what a garden should be. We have seen gardens that are not “our cup of tea”, and we have seen a few that just make you want to bulldoze your property and start over. If you plant your garden to impress others, you’ve got it completely backwards. A garden should be a reflection of you. It should highlight your sense of colour and texture and form. It should show your whimsical side or your desire to be different. Unusual plants or mass plantings of your favourites. Your garden should just shout YOU! There is no right or wrong. Many people have described our garden as being reminiscent of an old English country garden. For many that translates into “overgrown and weedy”. That’s OK, we love our little place on this pale blue dot in the solar system. Some folks don’t even do flowers. Fruits and vegetables are their thing. They grow things to eat or to sell. Perfect. When we stroll the booths at the farmer’s market, we are in awe of the quality, the selection and

the price. And we should be eating things grown in the area. Garlic from China just drives me nuts. Take a minute and talk to the people that have worked so hard to bring this produce to your table. Gardening may not be your thing. Maybe you’re just too busy or have physical limitations. That’s fine. If you hire someone to do your yard work, and a lot of people do, talk to them about what you would like in your garden. Set the limits and get a quote. If you give them carte blanche you will get their idea of a garden and a big bill. This week I will be planting the patio area of Dad’s long term care facility. I hope to include some of the residents. Even with their wheelchairs and walkers, I’m sure there are a number of old darlings that will love to get their hands in the dirt and feel the sun on their face. Some cherry tomatoes, a few peas to snack on and a few green onions and flowers for the soul. Should be fun. A garden is what you make it. It’s yours. It tells the world who you are and your hopes for the future. It doesn’t make any difference. Do what makes you happy, regardless of what others may think. Your garden, our garden? They are all things growing. When we stop growing............... If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

She said the revised budget for the BIA is $18,000 in 2015 and the recovery amount to the municipality, totaling $10,000, will be stretched over a four-year period, at a cost of $2,500 annually. “The impact of the revised budget is $173 per $100,000 of assessed value,” said Kehoe, “which is an increase of $34, from $139 per $100,000 of assessed value in 2014. There are 58 commercial properties impacted.” The COW recommended to council the revised BIA budget be adopted.

Discussing the best ways to charge several devices in your vehicle “Good morning, Brian... My question for the Car Counsellor concerns charging electronic devices while driving. Drivers may now be using a number of devices such as GPS, car camcorder, portable satellite radio, and cell phone, which may all need power to recharge/operate while on the road. I have a single 12V power outlet/charger in the dash directly under the radio while a second outlet is found in the console, which means there will be a longer cord draped across cup holders and shifter if I need to use that outlet to charge a device on the dash/window. What is the best way to get multi-device use from the single outlet located in the most convenient place? If, for example, devices charge via a USB connection, then something like this device makes sense. However, would it be better to use a duplex plug (not USB) in the best outlet and then use each device’s converter/ cord with its somewhat large “transformer” (or whatever it is called) assuming there is space for two such transformers in the dash under the radio? Many thanks for considering my question...” Cheers, Stephen For low power draw devices such as you’ve mentioned, a vehicle power-point adapter with multiple USB outlets should do the trick. Even with more than one unit (GPS, smart-phone,

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

radio) plugged in the draw shouldn’t overcome the vehicle’s fuse that protects the power outlet circuit. However, larger draw accessories such as 12V coolers or air pumps should only be used one at a time and preferably plugged directly into the power outlet without a USB adapter. Most of today’s vehicles only use a 10 or 15 amp fuse to protect the outlet circuit and an older cooler or pump or one with damaged wiring can easily blow the fuse. It’s a good idea to learn where the outlet fuse is located and to have a few spares on hand. Keep in mind most of these outlets are ignition-switched meaning they are only powered up with the key in the run or accessory positions. By now many of us have been inundated with news reports of the expansion of the recent air-bag recall due to defective Takata air-bag inflators. This company supplied air-bag components to 11 different carmakers and some of the inflators have sent metal fragments at high speeds towards drivers. In the US, the National Highway and Traffic

Safety Administration reports that six fatalities and more than 100 injuries have been linked to these failures. This recall has the potential to become the largest consumer product campaign ever. Nissan, one of the automakers involved had the best description of the defect, “The propellant could potentially deteriorate over time due to environmental factors [due to many years in high humidity conditions], which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event of an airbag deployment. This could create excessive internal pressure within the inflator and could cause the inflator housing to rupture.” These inflators can be found in vehicles made by Acura, Infiniti, BMW, Lexus, Chrysler, Mazda, Dodge, Nissan, Ford, Subaru, General Motors, Toyota and Honda. To check if your vehicle is involved, you can call your automakers consumer line with your vehicle serial number or for less on-hold time, contact your nearest authorized dealership. The latest reports indicate that almost 34 million vehicles may be involved and Takata has ramped up their production to almost one million units per month. At this rate it will take months to produce enough parts to complete the recalls. As there is no inspection process to indicate whether or not an air bag is at risk, it’s pretty difficult for owners to know what to do. No automaker will voluntarily offer to provide

replacement transportation if a client decides they don’t want to drive their vehicle until repairs are completed. The supply of parts and timing of the recall notices are completely up to the automaker, so retailers have no inﬂuence or input towards the process. It’s collector/hotrod car show season and the nicer weather is bringing out the chrome in droves. Do yourself and your family a favour and take a Sunday tour of some of the ﬁnest wheels to be found. On Sunday, May 31 the Bandit Motorsports Car Show comes to Wendover from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s open to all.

This year, Cycle for Sight Ottawa is offering two new loop routes through scenic the countryside of West Carleton from its new location. Cycle for Sight accommodates a ranger of participants, both cycling enthusiasts and leisure riders riding single or tandem bikes. The ride is fully-supported with personalized roadside assistance, emergency medical services, and rest stops run by local Lions Clubs.

The Dandelion Festival could not happen without all of the generous volunteers who spend their weekend helping the festival out. As the festival began volunteers arrived at the festival’s volunteer headquarters on Prescott Street to register and get their instructions. In this photo a group is getting ready to take to the streets. Left to right are: Jadzia Bryson, volunteer coordinator, Jon Gagné, Seth Flanagan, Kyla Marie Roy, Lauryn MacGillivary, Alyx Blockley, Sarah Goodfellow, Maggie Jeffery and Abi Cleroux. More than 50 volunteers registered to help at this year’s Dandelion Festival.

At last week’s Environment Committee, the City’s Treasurer brought forward a report on the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Rate Structure Review. The purpose of the review is to develop more certainty in regard to how much money is collected annually from the water and sewer rate. Only residents who receive water and sewer services have a water and sewer bill. Properties on wells and septic systems do not receive these bills, and for obvious reasons. Before explaining a specific portion of this review and how it may impact rural properties, I just want to make it clear that nobody is proposing that residents on wells and septic systems pay anything related to those private services. If you’ve heard rumours of that very thing, strike them from your memory as that is not going to happen. Nobody is metering your wells. End of story. Onto the matter at hand: storm water management. I imagine this point could be argued, but every property creates storm water runoff. Some properties drain into ditches, some into ponds and some into storm water sewers. At this point, all maintenance of these facilities is paid for by the water and sewer rate budget. Prior to amalgamation, this maintenance was part of the regular tax bill in Goulbourn Township and Rideau Township. For some reason, the transition board overseeing amalgamation moved storm water management from the tax supported budget to the rate supported budget. Since last week, I have heard concerns that this is a way of taxing rural residents to pay for urban infrastructure. That is simply not the case and this is not an urban vs. rural issue. In fact, there are 15,000 properties within the urban area that also do not receive water and sewer bills. Consider a downtown parking lot in terms of storm water runoff. The entire property would instantly drain into storm water sewers but that property owner doesn’t pay a cent toward that maintenance. This review will look at how to appropriately charge a property owner for a benefit they receive. This review is only just beginning and there will be a public consultation component. As a member of Environment Committee, and also as Chair of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee, I will be paying close attention to this review and how it could impact residents in the rural area. If you have any questions regarding this review, please contact me Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee Speaking of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee, due to the scheduling of the Rural Expo and Food Aid Day on Thursday, June 4th, the next meeting of ARAC has been moved to Friday, June 5th. The meeting will take place at its usual location (Ben Franklin Place) and at its usual time (10:00am). The agenda for this upcoming meeting of ARAC is fairly light. It features a Status Update on Inquiries and Motions; the 2015-2018 Draft Term of Council Priorities; Semi-Annual Performance Report; and the quarterly Omnibus and Anomaly Zoning Amendment. The other agenda item is the 2013-2014 Update of the Rural Residential Land Survey, of which there will be a presentation on. Following the regular ARAC agenda, members of the Committee will sit as the Court of Revision to receive the engineer’s report for the Devine Municipal Drain. North Gower Farmers’ Market The North Gower Farmers’ Market is returning for another season. Opening Day is Saturday, May 30th and will run every Saturday until Thanksgiving. This year, there are over 40 local vendors featuring a variety of items including local produce, meats, homemade foods, all kinds of baking and, new this year, there is a wine vendor. As always, there are also many local artisans with handcrafted creations and breakfast and lunch is also available each week. Come out on opening day, say hello to your favorite vendors and discover new ones. Craig Carmichael of Carmichael Woodworks will be demonstrating how he turns a raw log into a complete carving using a chainsaw. Within minutes the wood chips will be flying and the log will start to resemble the sculpture within. Each piece has its own unique personality as it emerges from the block of wood.

Hike for Hospice raises $6,000 for Beth Donovan Hospice Sunday May 24 was met with fantastic weather for the 50 hikers who joined Beth Donovan Hospice and the Hike for Hospice at the Ferguson Forest Centre in North Grenville.

Participants ran and walked the 1, 3, 5 kilometer routes all in support of hospice palliative care. The event acts to increase the communications of the portfolio of services the hospice provides

as well as raising funds for programs that will benefit the community. The amount raised totalled $6,000 and donations are still coming in from those who were unable to participate.

Joseph Morin/METROLAND

The Hike For Hospice event held by the Beth Donovan Hospice on Sunday May 24 was well attended. There were several teams walking together for a great cause.

The hospice expanded its program delivery in 2013 that included a new Day Hospice Program and increased hours for grief and bereavement counseling. Currently the Hospice is concluding the creation of a feasibility study that will help inform the next stages of growth for the Hospice. The planning process for the study was quite extensive that included input from both the community and medical professionals including North Grenville area physicians, nurses, CCAC, current clients and past client families. With numerous unmet needs in the community for palliative care, the Hospice hopes to expand its services to ensure those who are dying, can remain within their home community to live out their last days. “There has been an increase in the number of our clients being referred to Residential Hospice facilities in Ottawa because there is nothing in closer proximity.

cleaning and monitoring for 2015. “This year, we’ll be doing approximately 6,000 meters of sanitary pipe cleaning and monitoring,” said Finley. Heritage Advisory Committee presents report Rowena Cooper, the chair of the Heritage Advisory Committee, provided council with a history lesson on heritage advisory committees. “The role of the advisory committee is advisory and consultative,” said Cooper. She explained the committee works towards raising awareness about the importance of heritage and puts up many plaques for the residents and visitors to learn from.

“As a committee and community, I think we need to think seriously about celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017,” said Cooper. Construction of new backstop and dugout at Riverside Park Mark Guy, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, said the Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball League (formerly the KLL) successfully applied for a grant from the Toronto Blue Jays Foundation, totaling $19,465, for the purpose of constructing a new backstop and dugout at diamond three in Riverside Park. “We need council’s approval to move ahead with the construction, as it is municipal property, which is slated to start

sometime this week,” said Guy. He explained the facility superintendent put together a tender for the project and the successful applicant was Bytown Fence, at a cost of $27,255. “The Kemptville Wildcats will be paying for the difference,” said Guy. He explained over the past few years there have been significant upgrades made to municipal baseball diamonds – three major projects – by the Kemptville Wildcats. “I want to thank the Kemptville Wildcats for their contributions,” said Guy. The COW recommended to council the resolution be passed. A special meeting of council then took place, for the final approval of the resolution.

“We are investigating with our financial institution the costing,” said Kehoe. “We’ve got to get into the 21st century,” said Mayor David Gordon. “Corner stores take credit cards. It’s not rocket science.” She explained the goal is to be accepting credit card payments sometime in August. “We need enough time to fully train staff and wait for the launch of the new website,” said Kehoe. She explained the fees that go along with credit card transactions will be paid by the individual making the payment, not the municipality. “We are still in discussions, but we may have to add two per cent to each transaction cover the fees.” The COW recommended council adopt the cash handling and credit card policy. Employees using municipal vehicles will have to keep logs Rahm explained some municipal employees take municipal vehicles home at the end of the work day, in order to respond to emergencies. “Usage of those vehicles doesn’t include personal driving, such as the distance between work and home,” said Rahm. She said employees using municipally owned vehicles will have to keep a log book, to determine what usage is personal driving.

sponded to a number of calls over the May long weekend (May 15 to 18). “On May 15, around 9 p.m., the NGFS received a call about a large fire off County Road 20,” said Hutt. “The calls indicated a structure may be on fire. However, it turned out to be a large bonfire, outside of the limits of a campfire. We are considering additional charges at this time.” He said the NGFS also responded to a call on May 17, regarding a vehicle rollover, off County Road 18. “The fire service, EMS (Emergency Medical Service) and OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) all responded to that call,” said Hutt. “The Ornge ambulance responded to the call because there were potential neck and spinal injuries and landed in a field. Everyone survived the incident.” He said on May 18, the NGFS also responded to a call about an unconscious man in a vehicle on Concession Road. “On May 18, we responded to a call about a 10-year-old boy on Lindsay Road who had an ATV accident,” said Hutt. “He was transferred to the Kemptville District Hospital.” Weed control on all County roads Mike Finley, Superintendent of Environmental Services, said the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville sent out a public notice regarding noxious weed control on all County roads and select roads in North Grenville. “Look at the UCLG website for more information,” said Finley.

Birthday barbecue donation

Pictured here, Joanne Sowten (on the left), manager at Kemptville Giant Tiger, presents the proceeds from the annual Giant Tiger Birthday BBQ that was held April 25, to Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC) youth. Receiving the funds are Bre Luther, President of KYC Youth Council, and fellow council member Desi Eady on the right. Each year, Giant Tiger donates all of the food for the BBQ with all funds donated going to KYC. Revenue from this annual event goes towards bringing quality programming to local youth at The Kemptville Youth Centre.

UNPLUG!

In the average home, 75% of the electricity used to power home electronics and appliances is consumed while the products are turned off. These “phantom energy” costs can be avoided by unplugging devices like cell phone chargers and household electrical appliances when they’re not in use.

Horse show season begins America, to aspiring young riders and their ponies who are cheered and encouraged by their coaches, parents, grandparents and friends. As well as “horsing around”, a dedicated group of individuals helped with fundraising for the Kemptville District Hospital. Raffle sales raised $250. Gaelic Glen will match the amount raised from the raffle for a total donation $500 to the Carol Durie Memorial Golf Tournament whose proceeds have topped $200,000 over the past three years, all of which has remained local and donated to the Kemptville District Hospital Mammography unit. Gaelic Glen has been organizing horse shows since 1998 when Carol Durie and her daughter Suzanne hosted small schooling level shows. Since then, with the help of community sponsors, the shows have grown in size and quality every year. Gaelic Glen would like thank

The 2015 Equine Canada sanctioned Trillium Silver/Bronze Hunter and Jumper horse show season got underway May 2 and 3 under sunny skies and perfect conditions at Gaelic Glen Stables located in Oxford Mills. Gaelic Glen, known for its wonderful, natural sand footing, has hosted the first round of the twelve-round series for the past 15 years. A record number of riders attended the show and began their season long quest to earn enough points to qualify and represent the Eastern Zone at the Provincial Finals slated for early September at Palgrave, the site of the 2015 Pan American Games. With close to $7,000 in prize money being given away, it was not only points on the line for the riders. Competitors ranged from professional riders and their horses who compete throughout North

Two big hits coming in June as Station Theatre celebrates its fifth year After a run of five years of wonderful plays, movies and concerts, the Smiths Falls Station Theatre is proud to present two great productions on its stage in June. Opening on June 4 and running until June 14 is the play Nana’s Naughty Knickers, written by Katherine DiSavino, directed by Sheila Jasiak and featuring a veteran cast. Then on June 27, at 8 p.m. the Station Theatre will present another in its new music series – a concert by Patrick Lehman, dubbed by CBC Music as “Canada’s best kept Soul secret.” Nana’s Naughty Knickers is a 90-minute romp for mature audiences. Bridget, played by Nicki Hayes, and her grandmother Sylvia, played by Emily Duberville, are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favourite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her rent-controlled apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to senior citizens throughout the five boroughs area! Will her Nana get arrested – or worse! – evicted? Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will the smiles and chuckles continue for the audience beyond the curtain call? We think the answer is a resounding “yes,” because the theme of the play – about old age, acceptance, and the beauty of looking at things from a different angle – is one that director Sheila Jasiak is sure will appeal to our audiences. Mix in a love interest for Bridget in the form of Tom, the overly helpful police officer; a very grumpy landlord intent on getting

moments that will leave you wanting to call your Nana just to make sure she’s not up to anything naughty. Show times on June 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 are at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday matinees,

on June 7 and 14 are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students (with ID), with special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by

He’s back after touring in Europe and continuing an exciting career that recently took him to the regional ﬁnals of the CBC Searchlight music competition. He has been written about in International Musician Magazine, Elle Magazine and Jazzism Magazine to remarkable reviews. Following his recent tour in Holland, the Dutch magazine Linda called him a “top 5 to download” artist alongside Raul Midon and David Bowie. Elle Magazine Netherlands described his latest album as being “as warm as whiskey.” Tickets for the Patrick Lehman concert on June 27, which starts at 8 p.m., are $25; this includes a refreshment of your choice.

Match made in heaven: her 1970 Mustang Mach 1 and his 1973 Vega GT I’m always looking for more stor- Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H free autographed copy of my book: ies. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca 3W2. Everyone whose story is pub- “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURor write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. lished in my column will receive a ITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” But the bore and stroke differed between the two engines, with the 428 having 335 horsepower and the 429 with 375. Soon after Pam bought hers, a rod went through a piston and the engine was replaced with a 390 V8 at Dave Korneilson’s gas station at the west end of town. Even though the new engine had 38 fewer cubic inches, the car seemed just as fast as before. Pam was a waitress at the Tropicana Restaurant on Erie Street South when Jerry came in with a bunch of Submitted photos pals. That’s when Jerry noticed Pam and Above, Pam’s 1970 Mustang after the next owner restored it. Below, Jerry’s ’73 Vega GT with 4-speed on the Pam noticed Jerry, who at that time floor. was driving a ’73 Vega GT with a 4-speed stick shift on the ﬂoor. They started dating, and often drove each other’s cars. Pam loved the stick shift in the Vega, and Jerry enjoyed driving her Mustang. Cupid ﬁred his arrows and they were married in 1976. Today, Jerry and Pam own a 1981 Camaro Z28 with T-roof and 4-speed recently featured in this column. And their son Jason is also a motorhead with a passion for motorcycles. You can email them at jerrycamaro@ hotmail.com. R0013298300

Pam Foldesi of Leamington, Ontario, is a self-confessed motorhead. Before she and her husband Jerry were married in 1976, she had owned three Mustangs, and still owned one of them when they met. The first was a blue 1969 Mach 1 with a 3-speed floor shift and a 351 cubic inch Windsor V8 with 250 horsepower. The 1969 Mach 1 fastback coupe was new for 1969 and stood apart from the other Mustangs with a special grille with driving lamps, a flat black centre hood section with functional air scoop, and a quick-fill gas cap. A total of 72,458 were built. Pam would probably still have her ’69 Mach 1 today if another car had not slammed into the passenger side and totalled her car on Hwy. 77 north of town. She luckily escaped with only a touch of whiplash and two months later bought her second Mustang, a white ’65 fastback with automatic. Sawdust was discovered in the transmission and so Pam took the car to a mechanic to check it over. He said the car was not worth fixing, and that paved the way for her third Mustang, a red 1970 Mach 1 fastback with automatic and a 428 V8 under the hood. In 1970, a Mustang Mach 1 was available with a 428 cubic inch V8 or a 429, only one cubic inch larger than the other.

To make the dressing: 5. In a food processor or blender mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until mixed well. 6. While the machine is running gradually add in the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. 7. Once the orzo is cooled mix the orzo with the chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, basil and mint. 8. Add a ¼ cup of the red wine vinaigrette dressing to the salad and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to eat. 9. When ready to eat you might want to add the remaining dressing and mix well. I tend to take the salad out of the refrigerator and test the salad to see if it needs additional dressing. When the salad sits it tends to absorb the dressing so it helps to add more.

TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CATCH FRESH One of the upsides to sport fishing is that it’s a summer activity. Basking in the warm sunshine with a cool drink close to hand is a great way to pass the time while waiting for the fish to bite. However, these fishing conditions aren’t always ideal for keeping your catch fresh. Fortunately, this problem can be solved fairly easily, ensuring that you have tasty, fresh fish to cook up at the end of the day. First of all, experts suggest that you kill the fish immediately after they’re caught, so that lactic acid doesn’t form in the muscles while they flounder around in the bottom of the boat or fish basket. Secondly, the best way to preserve the flesh is to put the fish on blocks of ice in a cooler as soon as possible. Some of

paradise! The South Branch flows into the Rideau River and both feature excellent fishing year round. In summer, when the boat traffic picks up, it’s easy to find a quiet spot out of the main channel of the Rideau. The South Branch is 63 km long, but it’s only about 5 km from the Rideau to Kemptville. It has decent depth, lots of foliage and is home to a variety of species, including musky and pike. Some of the best fishing happens in the off season when the boat traffic is quieter. You’ll find some awesome ice fishing holes if you’re keen to bundle up and give it a try! There are lots of places in the area to find bait, tackle and other fishing supplies. Folks can fish licence-free during Family Fishing Events held in the summer (July 4 to 12).

the techniques used in the past, such as placing fish on moss (which may contain bacteria and insects) or leaving the fish basket in the water (which may be warm near the surface), were useful only when there were no other alternatives. For those who don’t want to bother carrying a rigid cooler with them, especially over long distances, there’s a variety of backpacks available. Many of them are insulated, which is perfect for this purpose. Put your catch in a plastic bag first to keep your backpack or cooler clean. After you’re back at the campsite or your home, quickly clean your fish and dispose of the guts in such a way as not to attract animals looking for an easy meal.

FIVE GOOD REASONS TO TREAT YOURSELF TO A BOAT TRIP

TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS AND SPORT FISHING GO HAND IN HAND monofilament, a flexible line that’s resistant to elongation and abrasion and that has low memory. But the most significant innovations have undoubtedly been in reels. The first models, consisting of a free spool drum that was perpendicular to the rod, date back to the 17th century. Before the arrival of the reel, anglers manipulated lines and lures directly by hand, with all the disadvantages you can imagine.

You don’t need to hear the siren call of the sea to get involved in boating; anyone can enjoy getting out on the water. And there are so many reasons to indulge in water sports. Here are just a few. 1. RECONNECT WITH NATURE Water and blue sky meeting on the horizon, the sun beaming down, ducks splashing and stunning scenery: boating allows you to enjoy all the beauty nature can offer. 2. SPEND TIME TOGETHER A boat trip is a great excuse to spend time with friends or family. What could be better than a day talking about everything under the sun or watching the water-skiing prowess of your guests (or their failed attempts)? It means memories and laughter for everyone to share. 3. RELAX You can’t drag yourself away from the routine of your daily life? Cast off and treat yourself to a break. There’s nothing like a boat trip and a day on the water to forget your little problems and reduce stress levels. 4. KEEP FIT Perhaps sunbathing on the deck or chatting with friends isn’t very demanding, but sailing or water skiing are definitely real sports. Getting out on the water is a great way to keep fit, and you’ll see that this kind of exercise can truly become an enjoyable activity. 5. HAVE FUN Lastly, boating is lots of fun. So do it just for the sheer pleasure of being out on the water!

ciency of fishing rods was improved by laminating wood and bamboo. Then, during the 1970s, fibreglass became popular because of its low cost and durability. Today, carbon fibre is used to make incredibly light high-performance rods. Fishing line, which was originally made of silk, horsehair and other natural fibre, was replaced with synthetic products in the 1950s. One good example of this is the nylon

For all intents and purposes, sport fishing refers to the line-catching of fish with a lure or bait. However, fishing equipment manufacturers don’t quite see it that simply and so offer fishing enthusiasts an unimaginable variety of items and gadgets. In all likelihood, sport fishing made its appearance about 500 years ago. At that time, fishing rods were made of bamboo branches, papyrus or other plants. In the late 1800s, the effi-

the Mississippi River and Lake located right here, you can get a great “angle” on the fishing scene! There are multiple access points available. The Mississippi is one of the largest inland lakes in the area, with a perimeter of more than 50 km and a depth reaching 9.2 metres. It features warm waters beloved by walleye, northern pike and small and large mouth bass, along with many other species, such as perch, yellow and brown bullhead and many more. For more details about area lakes, including locations, habitat, common fish species and access points, visit Lanark County Tourism’s website at www.lanarkcountytourism.com and click “Plan Your Trip,” then “Free Brochures” and see the “Lanark County Outdoors Map.”

Vacationing in a cottage is a great way to escape daily routine and accumulated stress. Imagine relaxing to the sound of rustling leaves and bird song and strolling in peaceful surroundings. Whether on a lake shore, at the foot of a mountain, or in a picturesque little village, a cottage allows us to recharge our batteries and get some much-needed rest. You don’t need to own a cottage to be able to take advantage of all the pleasures it can provide. Renting one is easy and not necessarily very expensive. Many cottage owners rent out their second homes when they plan to be away for a certain amount of time. This allows them to make more return on their investment and give others the opportunity to enjoy it for a weekend, a week, or even for the

entire summer. There are many ways to find the perfect cottage. You could ask for references from friends, family, and work colleagues or browse through a vacation rental website. Newspaper classified sections also contain listings of cottage rentals. Before looking, be sure to choose an area that offers the kinds of activities you enjoy. Make sure, also, that the cottage has any features that you may be hoping for, such as a fireplace, spa, access to water or hiking trails, or a breathtaking view. For enjoyable and affordable vacations, renting a cottage with a group is always a winning option. That way, you can share rental costs and meal preparation. Great times, guaranteed!

Family camping at its best Camping is a great way to spend a wonderful family vacation. But don’t forget that careful planning is required for everyone to have fun. First, choose your campground carefully. Ask the kids what kinds of things they think should be included in the trip and decide on a few selection criteria, such as access to a swimming pool or the possibility of renting kayaks. Be

sure to reserve early to have more choice. Also ask about tourist attractions near the campground. If it rains, everybody will be happy to have a museum nearby or a theatre where you can all go and see a movie. If the chosen campground involves a long drive, do it in stages, perhaps stopping at a tourist attraction halfway there. Outdoor living means your children will probably get wet and

dirty from time to time, so be sure to take spare clothes and shoes. Also remember that even in summer, nights can be cool and the sun will not necessarily cooperate during the day. If your kids have favourite toys or teddy bears, bring them along; it will help them feel at home and they’ll sleep better too. Pack some games (board games, cards, books, colouring books, ball, Frisbee, etc.) and

www.dockmaster.ca 613-253-0437 1-866-301-3625

lots of nutritious snacks. After all, the fresh air can make you really hungry! Essential items not to be forgotten: a first aid kit, sunscreen and insect repellent. Lastly, involve the children in the packing. Give them flashlights and disposable cameras to record their trip. Above all, teach them the safety rules around such potential hazards as campfires and bodies of water.

Young Celtic/traditional group stopping at MERA as part of international tour The second concert in MERA’s Sunday Schoolhouse Spring Concert Series will feature one of Canada’s most exciting up-and-coming group of young musicians, who despite their training in jazz and chamber music, have been making a big splash in the folk/roots scene with their unique turn on Celtic and traditional music. Montreal’s the Bombadils will appear at the MERA Schoolhouse on Sunday, May 31 at 2 p.m. The Bombadils first connected in Montreal, over a shared curiosity surrounding the Celtic and bluegrass traditions. They were raised Canadawide and trained in classical and jazz performance. The Bombadils bring music and high spirits to folk clubs, festivals, and forests, allowing their diverse influences to flow naturally through an array of instruments, including flute, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and harmony singing. For over five years, the Bombadils have been enchanting audiences around the world with their unique fusion of traditional, world and progressive folk. Endearingly described as “chamber folk,” the group of cinematic storytellers have intertwined their musical chops (all trained at Montreal’s esteemed McGill University) around an approachable performance style that takes listeners on a journey through history and towards the fu-

Each hailing from their own unique corner of Canada, group members Sarah Frank (fiddle, banjo, vocals), Luke Fraser (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Alan Mackie (bass, vocals) and Anh Phung (flutes, harmonica, vocals), first bonded over a shared curiosity and love of traditional music – but have since solidified their friendship with more than 50,000 kilometres of touring and countless

performances together. After the release of their debut album, Fill Your Boots! in 2012, the group toured extensively across North America in support of the album, including performances at the Deep Roots Festival, Folk Alliance International, Eaglewood Folk Festival, as well as Fiddles on the Tobique Festival and Ethno Sweden, which took them to Rattvik, Sweden for a week of performing and shar-

ing folk music with musicians from 15 different countries. Throughout their travels, they have shared the stage with notable artists Steve Poltz, Ruth Moody, James Keelaghan, Lennie Gallant, Laura Cortese, Fish and Bird, Kristin Andreassen and Sarah Jane Scouten. In 2014, an artist residency at The Banff Centre served as the incubator for their sophomore album, Grassy Roads, Wandering Feet, which was released in the spring of 2015. Since then, the album has been creating a buzz in the folk scene, with folk-music magazine Penguin Eggs praising the group’s strong original compositions. Now poised to embark on an international tour schedule that includes the U.K., Australia, Belgium, Sweden and a plethora of stops throughout Canada and the U.S., The Bombadils are set to bring the essence of Canadian folk – rooted in history, influenced by worldly neighbours, and with its own unique story to tell – to audiences the world over. “The Bombadils have all the elements of a great band – a high level of musical proficiency, deep respect for the traditional roots of their material and an engaging repertoire which holds the attention of the listener from beginning to end.” – Amy Gajadhar, Canadian Folk Music magazine “This was the band the came out
