ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Thanks to the generosity of a Kemptville clinic, Victim Services Leeds & Grenville (VSLG) now has a physical presence in the community to serve local residents in crisis. Compassionate Support for Stressful Times announced May 23 it will donate office space to VSLG to provide in-person services one day a week. The clinic is located within Geraldine's Gallery at 2505 County Road 43. "This is really important because Kemptville is lacking sometimes in having services available and obviously having an office space and somewhere to meet with clients is very beneficial," noted VSLG's family court support worker, Alyssa MacDonald after meeting with CompasSee OFFICE, page 2

OFFICE TO BE OPEN ON FRIDAYS Continued from page 1
sionate Support for Stressful Times director Shulamit Ber Levtov in the office on May 23. MacDonald said having an office in Kemptville has long been on VSLG's wish list, but the cost of renting space made it unaffordable. They currently have locations in Brockville and Prescott and have an office in Gananoque one day a week (Tuesday). VSLG partners with police, fire and emergency services to provide community-based programming in the form of immediate assistance to victims of crime and tragic circumstance, as well as work with women's shelters, child protection, emotional support, safety planning, practical assistance and referrals to counsellors and other agencies. The latter is how Ber Levtov became

The program aims to provide victims with immediate access to services and counsellors apply to VSLG to be on the list. Ber Levtov began talking about the concept with VSLG executive director Sonya Jodoin and the seed took root. As a holistic stress and trauma clinic, Ber Levtov said the work Compassionate Support for Stressful Times does goes hand in hand with that of VSLG. "I have the space and it made sense because Kemptville/North Grenville is a desert for services for all kinds of marginalized folks, as well as mental health services," Ber Levtov noted.

municipality. In April, Jodoin and Compassionate Support for Stressful Times therapist Meagan Cumming, appeared before North Grenville council asking them to advocate for a sexual assault centre in the municipality. Leeds-Grenville is one of three counties across the province that doesn't have one funded through the Ministry of Attorney General. "This is a natural partnership between the agencies and businesses who support folks who need these kinds of services," Ber Levtov commented. "It's all about building the web of support." North Grenville Mayor Nancy Peckford, who, along with her council pledged to draft a letter seeking support from neighbouring
councils, called the office space donation "a wonderful development for our community." "It's a badly needed development and it shows the kind of leadership we have in our community where an existing service provider can provide space and align services," she stated. When she started her practice in 2012, Ber Levtov could never have predicted she'd be able to provide this service. "The fact that Sonya approached me to brainstorm so I have the opportunity to offer this, I'm really grateful for her trust and really happy and proud to have this as a resource here in North Grenville," she said. "It's opened the door to make this support accessible here."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
After the office space was announced, The Kemptville Advance spoke with those involved on how a physical presence for Victim Services Leeds & Grenville would address gaps in access to services and get clients the help they need.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario is pleased that the Government of Ontario announced May 27 that it will reverse mid-year cuts to critical services of public health, childcare and ambulance services. "AMO appreciates that the province took an impor-
tant and difficult step today," said AMO president Jamie McGarvey. "We appreciate the additional time to sit together and find solutions that will work for both partners and protect services. We are glad to have that opportunity." The provincial funding cuts were particularly chal-
lenging given that they fell six months into municipal budgets. AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario's 444 municipal governments. Submitted by The Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

CREATIVE IDEAS RAISED AT KEMPTVILLE CAMPUS DISCUSSION FORUM PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com North Grenville council and staff of the Kemptville Campus Education and Community Hub heard some creative ideas from the public on May 27 during a discussion forum held at the W.B. George Centre. The event aimed to encourage conversation on what the future of the campus should look like for the community. Chief administrative officer (CAO) Brian Carré
briefed the packed gymnasium on the municipality's acquisition of the campus, which included roughly 633 acres and 34 buildings before the French public school board, Le Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (CEPEO), purchased the Administration and Rorke buildings, as well as seven acres of land for $3.7 million. The campus was originally appraised at $11 million. After the CEPEO's purchase and a $3.3 million discount for deferred infra-
structure maintenance, the remaining balance of $4 million is to be paid through a loan from Infrastructure Ontario. Both the principal and interest costs of the loan will be incorporated into the operating costs of the hub. Carré estimates that the campus' current value would be appraised at well over $10 million. The lands now owned by the municipality does not include the farmland, as it will remain the property of the Agricultural Research

The model for the education and community hub will see initiatives focused on health and wellness, training and education, and economic development taking place on campus. Council and staff would also like the commu-
nity to have better access to the facilities, such as the green space and greenhouses, workshops and vacant buildings. Mayor Nancy Peckford spoke to the Campus Master Plan currently in the works. "There are capital plan-
ning priorities for us, given the state of certain buildings, so clearly the campus and the board are looking into where we need to rehabilitate," she said, using the agroforestry centre as an example. "You can see maSee PUBLIC, page 4

ple syrup production in action, but the lines are really quite old now, and we can't really offer full functionality of that centre without some additional investments." Peckford said the hub has acquired funding for such capital projects through the province's Rural Economic Development (RED) program. When the public was invited to ask questions and share their ideas for the campus, several residents and Kemptville College alumni took the opportunity. One such alumna was Nancy Curtis, whose late husband, John Davis Curtis, was the longest-serving principal of the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology (KCAT) from 1974-1993. She would like to see Purvis Hall, the oldest building on campus, established as an agricultural museum. "This would serve two purposes; mainly recognizing the importance of the college over the years and the part it has played in the history of the township, as well as its importance in
agriculture in eastern Ontario," Curtis explained. She added that since Purvis Hall was the first building to be built on campus, it would be very fitting to use it as a museum. She said a museum would be a great tourism attraction for the area and a showcase for former students and staff. "Had it not been for the agricultural college, the township would not be what it is today," she said. Kemptville resident and University of Guelph graduate Ed Duncan pitched the idea for some of the vacant buildings to be repurposed as woodworking or automotive shop space. "I know there are a lot of retired men in the community who have all kinds of equipment sitting idle that could be happy to donate it if that could be helpful from an economic standpoint," he said. He said a workshop space could also be utilized from an educational standpoint to train students on campus. Project manager at the hub, Patricia Remillard, said there is potential for Duncan's idea, as there are two unoccupied areas on

Bishops Mills resident and naturalist Fred Schueler and his wife Alita have proposed the concept of a climate change museum for the campus. He spoke more to his idea at the forum. "We have the materials and the collection that could launch a museum or-
ganized around the theme of climate change if there's interest in that," he said. Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman urged Schueler to contact council to set up a meeting to further discuss the idea. Local musician and entertainment co-ordinator, Herb Cloutier, shared his vision for a music program on campus.
"I'd like to bring a musical education hub to this area to serve not only the school boards, but also outreach programs for special needs children and for our community at large," he said. Cloutier would like to see a lending library established, where people could sign-out instruments free of charge and access musi-
cal education. Peckford noted the discussion will help council and hub staff set direction for the campus and ensure that it serves the interests of the whole community. Though campus space is heavily pursued, she said council wants to ensure community access and that all tenants are an appropriate fit.

An Oxford Station family of four lost their home and all of their belongings when their house at 1652 Oxford Station Road caught fire and burned down over the long weekend. The fire started in the late afternoon of Saturday, May 18. There are two children in the displaced family, aged 11 and 13, as well as four cats who are unharmed. The family was out of town camping in Ca-
labogie when the fire started, but the cause of the fire is still unknown. Deputy Chief at the North Grenville Fire Service, Randy Urslack, continues to investigate the incident with his team. A GoFundMe campaign has been initiated for the family as they've lost everything and are currently homeless. So far, nearly $2,000 has been raised of the $10,000 goal.

PEOPLE FIRST NORTH GRENVILLE WANTS TO BURY THE 'R' WORD PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com A local advocacy organization for people with disabilities is doing its part to eliminate the use of an outdated and offensive term. People First North Grenville is committed to creating a supportive community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and providing guidance and support to those who need it. Representatives made a presentation to council at the May 21 meeting. Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman provided some context on the initiative, as he attended People First's recent meeting. "Many people around the globe right now are pledging to discontinue using the term that has gained popularity in culture but is offensive to many people,"
said McManaman, "that is the R word - retarded." McManaman said the term seems to have found its place in common language and has been accepted by most, despite the fact that its use is hurtful to millions of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and those who love them. "It's got to stop," he said. People First brought a large, plastic R to the meeting with them for people to sign, which they plan to bury. "We look forward to helping you bury the R, more than just symbolically, in the months and years ahead," said Mayor Nancy Peckford. Members of council, municipal staff and the public lined up to sign the R. A date for the burial is yet to be confirmed. People First promotes

SENIORS COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark says that nonprofit community groups have until June 27 to submit an application to the Seniors Community Grant program. The Seniors Community Grant Program will invest up to $3 million in grants to partner with nonprofit groups and municipalities in Leeds and Grenville and across Ontario to co-ordinate and deliver local supports and programs to seniors. The application process is open until June 27 for community groups to apply for funding from $1,000 up to $25,000. "Seniors in Ontario want to remain healthy, ac-
tive and socially connected within their own communities," said Clark. "For many seniors on a fixed income, it is difficult to access affordable programs and services. I'm proud our government is protecting what matters most to our seniors by announcing funding for projects that will provide local supports and services for seniors." "At the current rate of growth, Ontario's senior population is increasing by over 100,000 people every year. Seniors built this province and our government is committed to helping seniors live independent, healthy, active and engaged lives," said Raymond Cho, minister for se-
niors and accessibility. "We are working with nonprofit organizations, community groups and municipalities to support projects that help seniors stay connected to their communities, access programs or volunteer." Cho added that this year's program is designed to better support the unique needs of seniors living in underserviced rural, remote, multicultural and Francophone communities. "We are looking to promote projects that prevent social isolation and elder abuse," Cho said. Clark welcomed the program's focus on seniors in rural areas.
"The Seniors Community Grant Program is a great opportunity for seniors in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes to be more active and engaged. The funding will help seniors access more local programming and services that will benefit their well-being," said Clark. "We also know that when seniors are engaged and involved in
their communities, they are less likely to suffer from social isolation and elder abuse. That is why this support is vital to seniors and their families in our community." Larger incorporated organizations can also now access a "one-window" application service through Grants Ontario. This website will handle application
intake, review and reporting that help make the program more efficient. More information about the program is available here: www.ontario.ca/ page/information-seniorsorganizations#section-2. Submitted by the office of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark.

EYES ON THE ROAD
The arrival of warmer weather brings with it increased traffic on our roads as people hit the highways after a long winter. Canada Road Safety Week is part of our country's broader Road Safety Strategy 2025, which aims to make Canada's roads the safest in the world. So far this year, 58 people have died on Ontario Provincial Police-patrolled roads. Speed, alcohol/drugs, inattentive driving and lack of seatbelt use are linked to almost half (45 per cent) of the deaths. There were 97 road fatalities this time last year, with more than half (53 per cent) of the deaths linked to these same factors. And while police are relieved to see a significant decrease in preventable road fatalities, they caution that poor behaviours on the road can easily tip the scales in the wrong direction. In 2018, more than half of the 332 deaths on OPP-patrolled roads were attributed to speed, alcohol/drugs, inattentive driving and lack of seatbelt use. Canada Road Safety Week is an annual enforcement and education-driven initiative led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. The campaign aims to increase public compliance with safe driving with the specific goals to reduce injuries and save lives on our roads. This week and always, OPP officers were highly visible in their efforts to keep roads safe. According to a police report, OPP officers laid a total of 12,000 traffic charges from May 14-20, more than 10,000 for speeding. There were 226 charges for stunt driving; 525 seatbelt offences, 251 charges for distracted driving and 162 impaired driving charges. While police hope to see motorists take steps to make our roads safer on their own rather than through enforcement, such initiatives are clearly still needed. "Canada Road Safety Week is an effective traffic enforcement initiative, however it is only part of the solution to saving lives. It is important that everyone take responsibility to ensure safety on our roads. Make a commitment to obey speed limits, wear your seatbelt and never drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs, or while distracted," said OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique. Solicitor General Sylvia Jones reminds drivers to have respect while on the road. "Driving is a privilege that requires your full attention when behind the wheel. It takes a conscious effort from all drivers to limit distractions to avoid potential injuries. Violating the 'rules of the road' is a major cause of collisions so we all need to respect the law to ensure road safety. Make driving safely your number 1 priority."

A GARDEN GURU I AM NOT DIANA FISHER DECIDES TO TAKE A BREAK FROM HER VEGETABLE GARDEN DIANA FISHER Column
ny trenches. If I'm not battling Mother Nature, I'm certainly battling the most prolific thing we have on this farm: grass. Every year it was a race to see what would grow the fastest: the vegetables or the weeds. I couldn't pull the grass shoots out around the tiny plants, or I would risk yanking the carrots out at the same time. By the end of the season you could barely find the veggies in the hiphigh grass. This year I am taking a break from my vegetable garden. In fact, I don't think I will miss it if I never have a vegetable garden again. Instead of getting hot, sweaty and filthy, covered in bug bites and wasp stings, I will enjoy a book and an iced tea at the cottage on a weekend afternoon. I bought a tomato plant in a pot that will allow me to enjoy the bounty of a summer garden, in a sense. This year, summer is going to be about relaxing and enjoying our property instead of always working on it until I'm too tired to even flip a burger. I will take time to float around the pool and listen to music on the back porch. But it's really just putting off the inevitable. A certain amount of work has got to be done, to maintain things as they are. Maybe next year I will find a way to deal with those invasive wild morning glory vines that are choking out my perennial flower beds.

"Kiss of the sun for pardon, song of a bird for mirth. One is nearer to God in a garden than anywhere else on Earth." ~ Dorothy Frances Gurney The garden and I have had a love-hate relationship for as long as I can remember. My first memory of the garden was from when I was about eight years old. My mother had a small vegetable plot behind our little two-bedroom shoebox bungalow on George Street. I remember sitting in the dirt and pulling out the not-quite-ready carrots, hairy with roots. I washed them with the garden hose and bit off pieces of faint sweetness. The peas met the same fate. There is nothing like vegetables fresh from the garden, warmed by the sun. Years later as a young mum myself, I found I did not have time for a vegetable garden. I did, however, inherit a lush English garden full of perennials. It came with the bigger house that we had bought to accommodate our three children. I felt that garden came with a lot of responsibility, and I was a bit intimidated by it. I went to the li-
brary and signed out all the gardening books they had. I learned the scientific names for Bee Balm (Monarda) and Sunflower (Helianthus). I discovered which plants thrived best in the sun and which preferred the shade (hint: darkerleaved plants prefer indirect sun). I had that garden blooming so profusely I had to split plants in half and give some away every season. When I married and moved in with the Farmer, I felt it was expected of me to keep a vegetable garden. Nothing was said but a garden plot had been laid out and I felt it was the least I could do in a farm operation that was clearly more than a oneman job. I waited until the May long weekend, when thankfully all of our new lambs were out of the barn, on the meadow. I bought the seeds and starter plants and laid out lines in the freshly tilled garden with string and popsicle sticks. I planted rows of carrots, mounds of cucumbers and drove stakes into the ground for tomatoes and string beans. I dug a trench around the garden to deter grass and I lined the rows with wet newspaper, which I buried under a layer of soil. I was sore and tired but satisfied after a hard day's work. But for the next two days, I could barely move, my muscles were so stiff. That year we didn't get rain for a few days after I planted. One day I came home to find the wind had blown all of my newspapers up in the trees. Another year we got frost right after I planted the garden, and all my starter plants died. And on another rainy season the showers were so strong they washed all my seeds right out of their ti-

KEMPTVILLE LIVE SECURES $88,000 PROVINCIAL GRANT Five local festivals and special events, including the Kemptville Live Music Festival, will receive a combined total of more than $250,000 through the Celebrate Ontario program this year, Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark announced May 21. Clark, along with MP Michael Barrett and North Grenville Mayor Nancy Peckford, celebrated the funding with festival organizers May 26 in Kemptville. This year's edition of Kemptville Live takes place July 18-21 at Kemptville Campus.
"I've had the privilege of being on stage to introduce acts at past Kemptville Live events and I can't tell you how proud I am of the organizing committee and volunteers for what they've built over the past five years," said Clark, who made the announcement on behalf of Tourism, Culture and Sport Minister Michael Tibollo. "What you've done to grow this four-day festival into one of Ontario's best, bringing more than 20,000 people to this community is truly remarkable. “ It also shows what the funding through the Celebrate Ontario program can do to help an
event succeed." "I'm proud that our government recognizes the important contributions festivals and events make to our region's economy and how everyone involved, including hundreds of volunteers, works hard to make them happen," said Clark. "I am pleased we are supporting these events as they continue to draw visitors from across Ontario and around the world to Leeds and Grenville. “ They enhance our quality of life and provide a positive economic impact to our community." "Celebrate Ontario funds and the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport lend direct support to the quality of the event by continuing to allow volunteers to improve the accessibility, comfort and exposure of a great source of pride for this eastern Ontario town," said Karen Bedard, Kemptville Live organizer.

KEMPTVILLE REMEMBERS LATE 'CORN KING' JOHN CURTIS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com
Paulina Hrebacka/Torstar Many gathered at W.B. George Centre on the Kemptville Campus May 25 to remember John Curtis, the longest-serving principal of the former Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology. He passed away in February at the age of 83. to do with," said Leeson. "I remember going with John to tour a vacant federal government building north of town as a possible solution to our residence shortage and he made a handwritten commitment to lease it on the spot." She added that Curtis' working motto was always, 'Take action, seek forgiveness later.' Curtis and his wife, Nancy, ran a pick-yourown farm with strawberries, raspberries, and asparagus in Millar's Corners. They had three children; Laurie (Fraser), Debbie (Banks), and David. Referred to as the 'Corn King' in several speeches, Curtis is credited as having been instrumental in bringing corn grain to eastern Ontario. A '67 KCAT grad, Ken Knox, had many stories to share of Curtis, as he was one of his students, but rose through the ranks to become his boss as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. He also served as Deputy Minister of Energy, Science and Technology.
He said John's contributions to agriculture went beyond Kemptville to impact eastern Ontario and the province as a whole. "John Curtis introduced corn to eastern Ontario," said Knox. He told the story of how the Minister of Agriculture in the mid-'60s, William Stewart, called Curtis one day to tell him to bring corn grain to Kemptville to transform eastern Ontario so that it would look similar to the contribution that western Ontario was making to the province's agricultural economy. "John Curtis came here with a bag of corn seed in the back of his government car, and eastern Ontario has never been the same," said Knox. He described Curtis as the 'quintessential servant leader' who did his work through others and would never take credit for doing anything on his own. "He would nurture farm leaders. “He would even take a stint in Toronto to get those people who wore suits to get things right before he
tion that fewer farms were required to meet food needs. This resulted in the demand for farm business managers, the main graduates of the agriculture program, to decrease. "We knew that as we had fewer farmers and they had fewer children, we were going to have less of a pool to draw on to keep the business model of Kemptville College viable," said Knox. "And so, John used his creative juices to create new programs, to try and keep the business model of [the college] unique and attractive to government.". According to Knox, KCAT's very successful equine program was never intended to be in Kemptville, as Curtis didn't actually have permission to establish it. When provincial representatives visited the campus and asked about the horse manure, Curtis
claimed it was part of a project by the welding students. "John rarely asked for permission, and he less likely asked for forgiveness," he said. "He was very creative both on and off campus." As he spoke to the room full of attendees at the memorial, Knox's sentiments echoed through the very room where Curtis' students graduated year after year. "His contribution is monumental to not just the [Ottawa] Valley and eastern Ontario, but to agriculture in Ontario as a whole. I further submit to you that his biggest success, at the end of every spring, walked out that door," he said, pointing to the rear of the room. "John Curtis was an extremely valuable asset to our community."

Former staff and students of the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology (KCAT) filled the W.B. George Centre on the Kemptville Campus grounds May 25 to honour and remember the longestserving principal of the college, John Davis Curtis (1935-2019). Curtis passed away in February, but his love of agriculture and education lives on in the stories of many. He is remembered as a teacher, gardener, fisherman, farmer, curler, husband, father, grandfather and more. Curtis was a longtime member and supporter of St. John's United Church, the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation, and the Masonic Lodge #28. His former administrative assistant of 18 years, Maureen Leeson, was one of many former colleagues and friends to speak at his memorial. She said the team environment that Curtis established in the office made her look forward to going to work. "John encouraged me to grow by taking on as much responsibility as I wanted," she said. "He shared information, welcomed opinions, and made me feel a part of the management team." Leeson said 1974-1992 were good years to be on staff at the college, because the province was 'pouring money' into campus infrastructure during the '70s and '80s. Curtis was involved with the construction of several buildings to accommodate new programs, and he personally negotiated land purchases to expand research capabilities on campus. "Enrollment was at its highest in the early '80s when we had more students than we knew what
came back here," he said. Knox spoke of Curtis' work to test, promote, and conduct the soil analysis for corn, to make sure the right tile drainage was used, and promote the Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act. "All those things could be laid at the feet of John Curtis, who came here to eastern Ontario as a change agent," said Knox, "and as he changed eastern Ontario, he changed Ontario agriculture forever. John Curtis, indeed, the Corn King." In 1991, it was reported that although overall enrollment at KCAT was stable, interest in the agriculture program over the previous 10 years had dropped from 85 to 35 per cent. Curtis explained then that farmers had become so efficient at food produc-

MUNICIPALITIES GRAPPLE WITH PROVINCIAL FUNDING CHANGES HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@ metroland.com Anyone who has been following the news lately knows that the winds of change have come to Ontario. Following the Progressive Conservative government's first official budget presentation earlier this year, a number of changes called everything from "cuts" to "restructuring" to "efficiencies" depending on who you ask - have either already been introduced or are on the horizon, causing anxiety for many Ontarians as they contemplate the ways in which their lives will be impacted. Let's take a closer look at a few of these changes that have a direct impact on local rural municipalities, services and community members.

HOW WILL THESE CHANGES IMPACT LOCAL SERVICES AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM? CONCLUSION: LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES ARE ALREADY FEELING THE STING OF THESE CUTS, WITH MANY MUNICIPAL REPRESENTATIVES AND EMPLOYEES SEEING THEM AS COST DOWNLOADING. RESIDENTS HAVE ALREADY LOST ACCESS TO THE INTERLIBRARY LOAN PROGRAM, AND THE FATE OF CERTAIN PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS AND PARAMEDIC SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY UP IN THE AIR. grams like Smoke Free Ontario and Healthy Smiles. These were previously funded by the province, but next year will be restructured to a 70:30 provincialmunicipal funding model. The province was originally going to apply these cuts retroactively, effective April 1, 2019, but suddenly changed their mind on May 27 in reaction to outcry from municipalities who
had no opportunity to factor the extra costs into this year's budget. While public health unit costs are the responsibility of municipalities as per provincial legislation, these programs have benefited significantly from provincial funding in the past, and how they will be supported under this new See - page 13

legislation remains unclear. "Our services are going to be affected," expressed Smiths Falls Coun. Lorraine Allen. "You can't lose that much money and expect to have the same service. I'm watching it and I'm very concerned. I think many of our health care workers are concerned as well." Jane Hess, director of healthy living and development for the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, also brought up these concerns with Perth council on May 7. "These days, we don't know what will happen to us after April 1, 2020," she said. "The downloading will cost municipalities," responded Mayor John Fenik. "It's very much in a state of flux."
LIBRARIES In April, the Southern Ontario Library Service's
(SOLS) budget was abruptly slashed by 50 per cent, causing SOLS to permanently cut its interlibrary loan system. It's hard to deny that the impact will be felt most by patrons of small town and rural libraries, which have much smaller collections on site compared to larger urban centres. "It's a big hit for us," Karen Schecter, CEO of the Smiths Falls Public Library, told the Smiths Falls Record News in April. Schecter said she expects the demise of SOLS will end up costing the library money, as they may now have to pay Canada Post for deliveries of these materials. "I think this hits smaller libraries harder," she said. "I sometimes feel that decisions are made by people who don't understand the system." Many people across the province are fighting this decision, including the group Friends of the Perth and District Union Public

PARAMEDICS The announcement that Ontario's 52 ambulance services will be restructured into 10 within the next two years also came as a surprise, particularly in Renfrew County, where council recently took the plunge into buying five new $250,000 ambulances and planning a new paramedic headquarters in Pembroke despite the uncertainty. Renfrew County health committee chair Michael Donohue called the provincial ambulance changes
"short sighted" noting that they seemed to be "an afterthought in the budget." The province, he said, is showing "incredible disregard for its municipal funding partners."
GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE Unsurprisingly, local PC MPPs are defending the changes. Renfrew-NippissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski said the ambulance changes are "all part and parcel" of a "modernization" of the health care system aimed at ensuring services are focused where they are needed, reducing wait times and ending hallway health care. For his part, Steve Clark, MPP for LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes and Minister of of Municipal Affairs, said that the changes are necessary to "clean up the fiscal mess" in Ontario. The province, Clark says, was left with "a $15billion deficit and interest
payments on our debt that cost the province $36 million every day. This was unsustainable and put core public services that my constituents rely on, like health care and education, in jeopardy." Clark went on to say that he recognizes the benefit the interlibrary loan system provided to users in his riding. "I was disappointed SOLS opted to cut this service, rather than working with our government to explore alternative methods of delivering it," Clark said.
FULL EFFECTS STILL TO BE FELT Regardless of whether or not you agree with Clark and Yakabuski, or Hillier and the local municipal representatives, it is hard
to deny that many residents will feel the impact of recent cuts, and that municipalities will be forced to make difficult choices in regard to their own budgets. As Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon recently expressed, at first glance the province "seems to want to reduce rural and small town governance of essential health services while maintaining the expectations of (municipalities) funding those services." As we await final decisions on the fate of ambulance services and health care programs, the full impact of these restructuring initiatives remains to be seen. – with files from Evelyn Harford, Desmond Devoy and John Carter

The ditches had dried up. The fields were ready to plant. Each day I could feel the warmth of spring all around us. With the coming of the longer, sunny days, Mother became a different person. All winter, it was like someone had pulled a windowblind over her face, only occasionally letting in a bit of light. For the most part when the days and nights were dark and dreary, it was like Mother was waiting for something good to happen. And then the winter was over, and spring was here at last. Audrey and I were sitting alone on the swing in the grape arbour. Buds were just starting to come out, and soon there would be enough leaf-cover to make a haven for us outside where we could eat a meal and get away from the hot sun, or the steaming kitchen. I could hear Mother, through the opened window, singing a wordless tune, and the sounds of pots scraping on the Findlay Oval, and dishes against dishes. A feeling of complete
contentment settled over me, but I wondered about Mother's change at the end of winter and the coming of spring. I asked Audrey if she, so much older and so much wiser than I, noticed it too, or was it just my imagination. My sister paused for a few minutes, as she gathered her thoughts. "It's in the wintertime she misses New York the most," she said. Much of her answer escaped me ... much beyond the reasoning of a five or sixyear-old. But I listened anyway. "She feels shut out from the rest of the world out here in Northcote, because the car is in the drive shed up on blocks, it's a long, cold trip into Renfrew in the cutter, so she only goes in on Saturdays to deliver her eggs." She paused again, and I thought that was the end of it. But she went on. "Did you ever notice how she reads and rereads that Philadelphia Inquirer paper that comes in the mail? Well, that connects her with everything going on in the place she left to come to live here in Northcote. She gets lonesome for her friend Rosie, and I think she feels trapped in the winter ... looking out at so much snow, and she worries about fire burning the house down, and her relatives in Ottawa who can't come out to visit. So, you see, Mary, winter isn't the best time for our Mother." I felt the utmost contentment knowing that winter
was behind us, and that Mother would once again be her happy and contented self. Her seeds had come from her order to the SteeleBriggs catalogue, and were starting to sprout in the little square boxes on a table beside the back door. The rolled-up braided rug had been removed from the parlour door where it had been since the first blasts of winter, and we could now sit on the horsehair settee and look at picture albums or read. Soon the spring housecleaning would begin ... the kitchen curtains washed and starched, and the braided rugs hung on the fence outside and beaten with the broom and rolled up for the summer. The sun had risen overhead and was beating down through the vines of the grape arbour, and I could feel myself dozing off, leaning against my sister. And I was overcome with a feeling of joy and contentment. Mother was back ... everything was right in my world. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

DEATH NOTICE
Marina passed away peacefully in hospital, Smiths Falls, on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at the age of 83. Beloved wife of the late Harold E. Healey, much loved mother of Larry Healey (Michele Despreaux) and LeeAnne Scott (Jeremy). Sadly missed by grandchildren Benjamin and Nicholas Healey and her best friend, Doodle. Predeceased by her parents, Robert and Margaret Atchison, and her brother Gordon Atchison. Fondly remembered by her extended family and many friends. Mrs. Healey to some, Marina to many and Minnie to most, Mom left behind a laugh and a smile wherever she went. She would talk to anyone about anything and had a joke or story for all who would listen. In the driver’s seat with her nose to the windshield, she happily toured her regular route: Ottawa for ham, Manotick for tomatoes, Merrickville for treasures, Balderson for curd, Almonte for toys, Pakenham for bread, Brockville for buttercream, Westport for pajamas and Smiths Falls for Dairy Queen. Her Christmas came in June when strawberries were ripe. A VIP at Tincap, she never missed a season and never lost a berry off the basket on the car ride home. Jam and jelly; cakes, cookies and pie were her specialty and to her it all tasted better when she had a friend to feed. When she wasn’t looking for her keys, bank card, purse or glasses she was merrily tending to her yard. She made it into a wonderland of plants and flowers, toys in trees and solar lights on every surface. If it sang, danced or lit up she bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Above all else she loved her family, her friends and at the top of her list sat her constant companion and confidant, Doodle. With sincere appreciation and admiration, we thank the staff and residents of Van Horne Manor for their care and friendship. To the nurses, doctors and support staff at the Smiths Falls Hospital - the loving care you provided Mom in her final days was second to none and will never be forgotten. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls, Thursday, May 30, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls, Friday, May 31, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Interment, St. Francis de Sales Cemetery. In lieu of flowers and donations, please take a friend to Dairy Queen, buy them an ice cream cone and tell them a joke.

He could build anything from wood, and his toy line lives on in his nephews’ homes, to be passed onto their children. After his stroke, sadly that limited his mobility, David resided at Hope Living (Shepherds of Good Hope) on Castlefrank Road in Kanata for the last two years of his life. We would like to thank the staff for the outstanding job they did looking after David. Particularly we would like to show great appreciation to Stephen Szawlowski for working tirelessly to provide a motorized wheelchair for David. Our brother made many friends among the excellent staff, caring volunteers, and wonderful residents. He will be dearly missed. We would also like to thank First Memorial Funeral Services of Ottawa for all their assistance during this trying time. Donations can be made in David’s honour to Hope Living - Shepherds of Good Hope.

Black Dorothy May (nee Skeet) January 11, 1935 May 22, 2019 Quietly at home with her husband and family at her side. A devoted wife and mother, she leaves behind her husband Douglas, daughters Dorothy (Dori), Diane, her son Donald and eight grandchildren. All of us forever grateful for her wisdom and selfless care. She is also survived by her very dear sister, Betty. Dorothy was born and grew up on a farm near Arran Sask. She attended the University of B.C. where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree and where she met her husband. They then lived in many parts of the country including Northern B.C., Newfoundland, Southern Ontario, Northern Ontario, then finally Eastern Ontario where they made their retirement home. Dorothy and Doug were united in marriage for over 60 years. Dorothy was a self taught, but very accomplished artist, and she leaves a treasured legacy of art. Her own home and those of her children are brightened with watercolour flower studies, oils of Newfoundland scenes, still lifes and several experimental techniques. Among her works was a collection of botanical studies of the wild flowers or Newfoundland. These have been published in the book, “Wildflowers of Newfoundland and Labrador”. Family and friends will join in a service to remember Dorothy’s life at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. West, Perth on Thursday June 6th, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. followed by a reception in the church hall.

COMPLAINT THREATENS IMAGE OF SINGER KATE SMITH RACIST BRANDING A RUSH TO JUDGMENT, WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE JEFF MAGUIRE Column
In a small cemetery on the edge of Lake Placid, New York is the grave of Kathryn Elizabeth Smith. Better known by her professional name, Kate Smith, she was a singer whose voice remains familiar to untold millions today despite the fact her career reached its pinnacle during the Second World War. Kate Smith loved Lake Placid. She owned a summer home there. Smith was a native of Virginia but when she died in 1986 at age 79 her final wish
was to be interred in the Adirondack village. Smith is best known for her 1939 recording of composer and lyricist Irving Berlin's patriotic anthem God Bless America. Thirty years after recording her stirring version of the song an executive with the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League ordered that Smith's recording be played before Flyers' games instead of the Star Spangled Banner. That continued through to this year. A statue of the late songstress was erected in front of the team's arena in 1987. Beginning in 2009 Smith's powerful voice became familiar to current
New York Yankees' fans. Her recording of God Bless America has been a standard during the seventh inning stretch at Yankee Stadium. So, fitting tributes to an artist whose radio, television and recording career spanned five decades! In mid-April however an anonymous tipster complained about racist lyrics in some of Smith's early recordings. The Flyers and Yankees quickly announced they were suspending use of Smith's version of God Bless America at their games. Her statue was hastily removed from in front of the Flyers' current home, Wells Fargo Center in downtown Philadelphia. It's true that two songs she recorded in 1931, That's Why Darkies Were Born and Pickaninny
WHiSPerinG PineS SCout CAmP Whispering Pines Scout Camp and Valley Highlands Area would like to thank the following sponsors who’s very generous donations have allowed camping adventures year round to local Scout Groups throughout the Valley Highlands Area.
Heaven, contains lyrics that fair thinking people today would immediately brand as "racist." On listening to the songs or reading the lyrics it seems impossible to argue the fact. Still, are the actions of the Flyers and Yankees and the condemnation of Smith levelled by some writers and commentators actually justified? Other artists recorded the same songs. It's also arguable that the world was less enlightened 88 years ago. This matter underlines why I love newspapers. There are always two sides to every story. After reading numerous newspaper stories and columns and some detailed online accounts relative to this matter I'm concerned there has been a rush to judgment in this
case. There has been a considerable amount of push back and on closer examination there is a lot of evidence available which tends to defuse the complaint alleging Smith was a racist. Understandably surviving family members say they are "heartbroken" to see her name sullied and they totally refute the claim of racism. So too does Smith's biographer. He says that that in the 1940s Smith featured black musicians and singers on her popular radio show more than 40 times. In 1945, in an address on CBS Radio, Smith herself said, "Race hatreds, social prejudices, religious bigotry - they are diseases which eat away the fibres of peace." Many people have
jumped to Smith's defence. Yankee fans are threatening to boycott the ball club unless her 1939 recording is reinstated at games. So, will Kate Smith go down in history as an icon or a pariah? Time will tell. But in an imperfect world full of imperfect people I find it hard to imagine that the previously unblemished image of such a distinguished performer should be ruined because of an issue that clearly has two sides. People who live in glass houses and all of that!
