Waste water treatment system at Fetherston delayed due to financing Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The residents of Fetherston Mobile Home Park are still waiting for their state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant. Construction was slated to begin back in April, but due to financial issues, it has been delayed and won’t commence for another two to four weeks. “The real problem we’re dealing with is money,” said Kevin Loiselle, President and CEO of Clearford Water Systems – the company doing the waste water treatment system at Fetherston.

“Typically, a system like this costs $14,000 per door (residence), but the one at Fetherston is costing $25,000 per door, because the community is so small. Right now, there are only 41 units.” He explained the MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) plant, which is the waste water treatment system going into Fetherston, used to be very expensive. “Now, these plants have come down significantly in price,” said Loiselle. “It’s the best in the world and Ontario is one of the world’s leaders in these types of plants.“

He said for the MBR plant to be fully economical, it would require between 100 and 200 homes. “With that many units, the cost of the plant can be spread economically,” said Loiselle. He said Fetherston Park has the room to grow and plans to add approximately 100 units down the road, so the plant had to be designed to accommodate future growth. He said it will take a full 30 years for the economics of the plant to work out. “If all the units were there now, the plant would be economical,” said Loiselle. “It’s made it trickier to finance. We thought we had it figured out a couple of times.” He explained all the other pieces of the puzzle are in place. “The engineering and design are all complete, which has taken hundreds of hours of work,” said Loiselle. “We have a project management firm we like to work with, ZW Project Management, which is the group who will manage the installation of the system. We’re just going through the final stages of selecting a con-

The Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) believes the best way to experience the beauty of the area is on two wheels. The association recently unveiled Cycle Lanark, its first, bilingual cycling map, which points out popular routes throughout the county, amenities, festivals, features and accommodations. At the recent Lanark County economic development committee meeting on May 27, LCTA’s program manager Melonie Sibbitt and Jeff Mills were on hand to make a presentation on the map and provide copies for county councillors to take back to their home municipalities. Sibbitt said the cost of creating the map amounted to $15,000, with the county chipping in half ($7,500) through its collaborative tourism projects fund. LCTA came up with the rest through their budget and association memberships. The map focuses on creating experiences within Lanark County to bring cyclists to the region and enhance tourism. Mills indicated that cycling is a growing market ($39 million was spent by cyclists in Ontario in 2010) and Lanark County wants a piece of that pie. He said this is an advancement towards creating a cycling friendly community through the Ontario by Bike organization. “I sit on the Ontario by Bike board and in February 2015 I went to a conference on the state of the cycle tourism sector,” Mills stated, noting that a large percentage of cyclists are “looking for print cycle maps. They want to know where they are going and how they are going to connect with people.” “There are lots of communities across the province who are choosing to build this economy in their communities,” he added. Whether cyclists are passing through the county or staying for a weekend, the comprehensive map outlines local cafés and farmers’ markets, to fine dining and retail businesses. “We vetted them (maps) with cyclists in Lanark County and picked groupings that made a lot of sense,” Mills said. Another benefit of the project is to work on increasing membership and the exposure of the LCTA, as well as get involved in the Ontario by Bike guide and other promotional materials. “We have about 16 registered businesses (on the map) and moving forward we want to get everybody on the map,” he commented. “...We’re also lining up with the Ontario Cycling Strategy, a provincial initiative.”

RECORD DATE NOTICE (By-Law 4.2) The Annual General Meeting of Family and Children’s Services of Lanark Leeds and Grenville will be held on Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015 Persons wishing to vote at the 2015 Annual General Meeting or serve as Board Members must be Members of the Corporation.

New bilingual cycling map promotes active transportation in Lanark County

The Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) recently unveiled its first-ever bilingual Cycle Lanark map and representatives gave a presentation on the project during the May 27 Lanark County economic development committee meeting. From left: LCTA member and Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month co-chair Jeff Mills, LCTA program manager Melonie Sibbitt and Mississippi Mills Bicyle Month co-chair Bob Woods show off the map. The association has also started the process of meeting with bed and breakfasts to create more experiential tours. “We feel there’s no better roads than in Lanark County,” Mills stressed. While Mills acknowledged this is a “good first go” of the map, “it’s not an end in itself.” “This is a tool in our economic development tool chest. It’s a good step, but it’s not the end of the line. We can do more if we’re going to build on the cycling community in Lanark County,” Mills remarked. In the meantime, there’s plenty Lanark County can do to further themselves as a cycle friendly destination. “Consider what you do on your roads because it can place us in this strategy. It’s all about connectivity between communities,” Mills explained. “It’s not about us doing our thing here in Lanark, but how do we connect with Ottawa and the rest of the province? Increase cycling tourism opportunities because we want to be ready for them (cyclists) when they come.” County councillors were impressed with what they saw. “This is a fantastic job you’ve done,” noted Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos. “I particularly

like that it’s an easy read and that specific routes have been outlined for people.” “Thank you very much for your leadership in this active transportation initiative,” added Montague Reeve Bill Dobson. Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd questioned why cyclists continue to use maps in today’s electronic age. “That’s a really good question,” admitted Mills. “Through surveys and research that’s been done, that’s what was said. While I was cycling in Europe, I used maps. Lots of cyclists use them to record miles and log routes. They like to look at them afterwards.” In addition to being available at municipal offices throughout Lanark County, Cycle Lanark maps are being distributed to businesses, bike and sports stores throughout Ottawa and the area, as well as cycling clubs and bike shows. It will also be posted on the LCTA website: http://lanarkcountytourism.com. Silver chain challenge Mills also took the opportunity to bend the ear of council in his other capacity, as co-chair of Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month, which takes place each year

throughout the month of June. Once again this month, the group will be holding the Silver Chain Challenge, open to all municipalities in Lanark County. It launched May 29. “It started off as a bit of a challenge to get people active in Lanark County,” he said, noting that it’s becoming a competition between Renfrew and Lanark counties. Last year, Renfrew took the crown away from Lanark, but Mills wants to bring the title home. It’s easy to get involved, he said. Register through www.silverchainchallenge.ca, then choose to ride, walk or run in your town and make sure to log your kilometres online. “This is a chance to ride your bike to work or go shopping versus a leisurely ride,” he continued. “Extra points are given when you wear a helmet or if you’re over 65.” “We feel this (challenge) does help to get us more active,” and Mills said Lanark County communities are becoming aware. “Last year, Smiths Falls didn’t register a kilometre and I think it’s because they didn’t know about it. That’s why we’re spreading the word more this year.”

3M Golf for Kids raises more than $14,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview Golf Course in Perth on May 30.

More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event, which raised more than $14,000 for the local charity.

Special recognition was given to Ruth Anne Johnson, a volunteer who has been co-ordinating the silent auction for the last six years. 3M Canada in Perth was this year’s title sponsor and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the popular take home bags that each golfer receives.

Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker. Thorough background checks are conducted, along with

interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to ensure its success and the safety and well being of the child. National standards are followed closely

Blitz finds most baitfish dealers obeying rules Most storefront baitfish dealers checked during a two-day enforcement blitz in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s Kemptville district were found to be obeying Ontario’s baitfish regulations. Ministry conservation officers conducted the unannounced inspections in the Kemptville district, which includes Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas,

Glengarry, Prescott, Russell and Lanark counties and the City of Ottawa, from May 20 to May 21. Officers were checking for compliance with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and regulations. Special attention was paid to the possession and sale of species other than bait, the proper use of log books and licensing. Officers checked 21 baitfish

dealers and harvesters during the blitz. They issued three warnings for: Failing to follow licensing conditions and failing to keep proper log books. Ofﬁcers used the opportunity to educate dealers, asking them to remind anglers that it is an offence to empty bait buckets in lakes and rivers. They also discussed how to reduce the movement of invasive species.

Smiths Falls students honoured for Juno Beach project Students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) were honoured recently for helping to preserve Canada’s military history while making it accessible. A total of 172 current and former students who worked on the Juno Beach Project were recognized with a Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Award. During a ceremony at the high school, each student was presented with a commemorative pin by officials with the Ontario Heritage Trust. The students, who won in the youth achievement category, will receive certificates signed by the

Lieutenant Governor at a later date. The research project, which ran from 2012-2014, traced the journey of 359 Canadian servicemen who died on D-Day and the days shortly thereafter, and produced a cellphone app that easily displays detailed information on their sacrifices. The project was officially recognized by the Lieutenant Governor in February during a ceremony at Queen’s Park. However, only a select few students represented the school during that awards presentation. Tonight’s ceremony ensured all who contributed were recognized.

History teacher Blake Seward said the honour demonstrates the value of the project for student learning and engagement. “We’re always thinking about real-world education scenarios,” said Seward of SFDCI’s efforts to enhance student learning. “With Juno Beach, the kids were writing bios and developed an app that has an application in the real world. What the Ontario Heritage Trust did tonight was make sure they recognized our students’ work and affirmed its value.” The Juno Beach Project was a major research effort involving Grade 10 history and Grades

The benefits of financial advice: many and tangible Manage Your Money It’s been proven in study after study and, more importantly, in the lives of millions of Canadians - the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehensive financial plan. Research* into Canadians’ savings and investment behavior and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has identified the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels. The research concluded: • Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets. • Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, selecting appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decisionmaking. • Advice positively impacts retirement readiness. • Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive toward them, and feel more confident they will have enough money to retire comfortably. A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and tax planning. To be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this six-step planning process: 1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns. 2. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your

current financial situation. 3. Financial analysis – analysing the data to determine whether you are on track to achieve your financial life goals, and to identify alternative strategies to achieve those goals. This includes a review of how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses; and strategies for protecting your family and income should you become disabled or die unexpectedly. 4. Plan formulation and recommendations – developing a written financial plan which contains recommendations and an action plan for achieving your financial goals and improving your overall financial life. 5. Plan implementation – taking action to implement the solutions that have been agreed upon. 6. Monitoring and plan review – financial planning is not a one time event.

Banking on hope

s they say, you can’t win if you don’t play. For those of us who have been playing more than we can afford to, here are some numbers of note from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). The provincial agency has raked in nearly $40 billion since the Wintario days of the mid-1970s. OLG is the province’s largest source of non-tax revenue, and gambling money has helped to cover the cost of providing health care, education and other services to Ontarians during the last four decades. That’s $40 billion in 40 years. Many of us are willing and, hopefully, able to plunk down a few bucks every so often to come up with that million-to-one payout in a lottery. Those overwhelming odds can also apply to scratch ticket games. For example, a current $3 Crossword series has nearly 26 million tickets and 13 top prizes of $50,000. The same numbers apply to the next three top cash prizes in that game, which basically

means the player has about a one in half a million shot at winning a significant prize. Still, the prospect of having a chance at a big payday is enough to get many of us going back to the lottery kiosk on a regular basis. And without that legalized gambling revenue, the provincial government would have to find another source of income to make up the difference; that would be the taxpayer. Remember when it was a big deal for a community to host the weekly Wintario draw? We’d watch as Fred David and Faye Dance would lead the Thursday night proceedings, and Faye would go into the audience and get someone to press the button for the live draws and wait for the $100,000 draw at the end of the show. Who could have imagined back in the ‘70s and early ‘80s that the lottery business would have grown into a $40billion business? That’s the sound of the Ontario government hitting the jackpot!

argue, though...just having a book of our choosing was enough for us. Well, the weekend rolled around and it was time to get the books back to Renfrew. They were to be put inside a clean flour bag pillowslip for the trip. We were well warned by Miss wire-rimmed glasses, that if any book had as much as a smidgen of a mark on it, Mother would have to buy it. Well! That was like saying we had to buy a new car! And so, we kept the books spotlessly clean, making sure we had washed our hands before opening them, and when it wasn’t locked up for the winter, sitting on the horsehair settee in the parlour to read.

never moved from the chair he was sitting on in the kitchen. We looked under mattresses, in the wood box, and even in the back-to-wall cupboard. Mother’s patience was wearing thin, but it was my older and very wise sister Audrey who finally figured out how to get Terry to turn over the library book. She told him she wouldn’t take out a book that week, and he could have two. All he had to do was hand over the one due back in Renfrew. Well, he flew off the chair like a bolt of lightning, headed upstairs, and pulled his little leather suitcase out from under his bed, opened it up, and tucked under his clothes was the lost

that are most closely in accord with his own deeply-held beliefs. I’m sure that John will demonstrate this himself, in the coming months, more eloquently than I can hope to do in this letter. This will be my sixth election campaign, and looking not only at John Fenik, but also at Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault and our new Green candidate, Anita Payne, I have

to say that I don’t think I’ve ever faced a more impressive set of political opponents. Regardless who wins in October’s election, I am confident that the voters of the new riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston will be well-served in the 42nd Parliament.

library book. I asked Audrey what we would have done if we hadn’t found the book. “We would have had to pay for it.” I also asked Audrey if Terry hadn’t turned the book over, if that would be like stealing, which in our house was punishable by death. She then assured me we would have eventually found the book when we were packing up the cousins to send them back to Montreal at the end of the summer. But the book was found, and that was all that mattered. As for Terry, he kept bringing home books because he liked the covers. The brighter the better. Books with fire-red steam engines, trains, animals, and covers with pictures of raging

water were his favourites. He never opened the books from one week to the next, which to me was mighty strange. The Renfrew Library opened up a whole new world for us. Even with only one book a week, we could travel in our mind’s eye to far away countries, meet people who were famous, and escape into a make-believe land, and for a time remove ourselves from the poverty of the Depression years that held so many of us captive.

Visitors had the opportunity to tour some unique homes and tranquil gardens during the annual Merrickville House and Garden Tour, to support Holy Trinity Anglican Church, on Saturday, June 6. Five homes and three gardens were featured. Above, visitors leave an old world bungalow on Heritage Drive after a tour. It was constructed on two acres by local construction company, Lockwood Brothers. Above right, visitors take a walk through Heritage Stables, which features a 100-year-old barn. The property was purchased in 2008 by Jake and Katy Drummond, who made extensive renovations. Once a dairy barn, it is now used primarily as a horse stable and event venue.

FIFA’s shame is no reflection on sport of soccer

Seedy business I have named these individuals only because of their past relationships with CONCACAF. Blazer was the long serving general secretary of the organization and was once executive vice-president of the US Soccer Federation. This is a long, involved and very seedy tale related to how big money can turn the heads of those charged with managing a massive, international organization. To say FIFA has received bad publicity as a result of this is the understatement of the year. But incredibly the long-time head of the organization,

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Swiss resident Sepp Blatter, was actually returned for another term as FIFA president just two days after this latest scandal broke. Then, under extreme pressure, Blatter stepped down from the post on June 2. The fact he says he will stay on for a year – until a successor can be named – isn’t exactly sitting well with his many critics. Still, with hand over heart, Blatter has told the media he is determined to root out “the few” inside his organization who are involved in corruption. His determination didn’t last very long! To me, a few can be counted on one hand. More than 20 people, including some of FIFA’s top executives doesn’t constitute “a few” in my book. And with the investigations continuing there is every reason to believe more arrests will follow. It’s true that Blatter has, so far, remained personally untouched by these sordid revelations. So, despite last week’s resignation, will he prove to be another “Teflon Man” or will Blatter too face the weight of justice at some point? By the way, Canada’s FIFA representatives, to their credit, did not vote for Mr. Blatter in Zurich. In addition, England’s Football Association (FA) had long called for his ouster. They too turned thumbs down on his re-election. He eventually won the election by default when his only challenger voluntarily stepped aside. His euphoria was short-lived! All of these developments occurred only days before the opening of the FIFA Women’s World Cup which is currently being hosted by Canada. It kicked off last weekend in six cities including Ottawa. This is the seventh such competition. The Canadian team, which opened its schedule with a 1-0 win over China at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium Saturday, is very hopeful of a medal. Ottawa is hosting Group B which includes Germany, Norway, Thailand and the Ivory Coast. Germany hosted the last women’s world cup in 2011 which was won by Japan. I want to make it clear this week that the scandal at the world executive level is no reflection on the actual sport of soccer. The truth is that soccer, or football as it is most commonly called, has never been stronger. It is for that reason that unscrupulous individuals have wormed their way into positions of responsibility for the express purpose of taking personal financial advantage of the billions of dollars that flow from the sport world-wide. Fortunately U.S. justice officials were able to get enough backing to take these people on and now others are following. Hopefully it will eventually lead to a clean-up that can only make the organization of the sport stronger. You have no doubt heard about an associated scandal surrounding the construction of venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup (men’s soccer) in the small Persian Gulf nation of Qatar. Huge death toll Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of migrant workers have already died while building the $100 billion worth of infrastructure Qatar is constructing for the World Cup. That despite the fact Qatar, with its huge natural gas and oil reserves, is the richest nation per capita on the planet. Projections

are that more than 4,000 labourers, working in unregulated conditions, could die before the soccer venues are completed. The reality is that Qatar, a scorching hot nation year-round, does not have a suitable climate for hosting the World Cup. It is also well-known that the same kind of bribery and corruption now being alleged relative to certain FIFA officials is behind the awarding of the World Cup in both Qatar and Russia, where the next World Cup is scheduled in 2018. It’s too late to sort out the Russian situation apparently. But a litany of bribes and corruption relative to Qatar’s successful bid has already been widely reported. There is now an intense hue and cry for FIFA to pull the 2022 World Cup out of the oil rich state and award it to another nation. In the wake of the American-led probe and the laying of criminal charges, major figures in the game of football expressed fury about Sepp BlatNanas Naughty Knicker - poster 2015_Layout 1 17/04/2015 6:17 AM Page 1

ter’s “leadership” and the black eye the FIFA and Qatari scandals have given the sport. Some are suggesting the best way to totally end all of this is for the world’s greatest players, soccer phenomes such as Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo (both star in Spain’s top flight ‘La Liga’), to boycott the next World Cup. As a fan of the game I’m hopeful the planned prosecutions will result in some serious consequences for criminals masquerading as soccer officials. Hopefully ongoing investigations will unmask even more of these people worldwide. As for the aforementioned Mr. Blatter there’s little wonder he was forced to step down. I’m sure he is leaving in hopes the spreading stain of corruption won’t envelope him. Only time will tell.

Playing at the Smiths Falls

STATION THEATRE 53 Victoria Avenue

Football, or soccer as we call it in North America, is the biggest game in the world. There is no question about that. It’s often called “the beautiful game” and as a big fan of soccer I understand why. At its best the skill and the pure athleticism of those who play the game at its highest level is second to none! Unfortunately the management of football at the international level has been highly suspect for many years. Pending the outcome of some show trials which may happen during the next few years the true level of the greed and corruption among the top officials in the game could be confirmed. Scandal has gripped the sport recently. Matters came to a head with the arrest of several key members of the FIFA executive (in English FIFA stands for International Federation of Association Football) just as they were preparing for the organization’s annual meeting in Zurich, Switzerland on May 27. The United States Justice Department got matters rolling when officers arrested seven key FIFA members who will be extradited to the US to face a long list of corruption charges. A further 14 people were indicted and American authorities will also attempt to have them transported to the States. Soon after, Swiss authorities announced that country’s justice ministry has launched its own probe of FIFA; a multi-billion dollar enterprise which is charged with regulating the world’s most popular sport. It was already known that some FIFA folks have been dipping their fingers in the cookie jar and a very deep jar it is. Football generates an unbelievable amount of revenue annually. From 2011 to 2014 FIFA claims to have made an amazing $5.7 billion (U.S.). In addition to the 21 arrested or indicted at the end of May another four people from the organization have already entered guilty pleas to corruption charges. Among the four is ex-FIFA executive Charles Blazer who forfeited nearly $2 million when he pled guilty in 2013. Blazer is an American who held several high level FIFA posts. The charges against him related to payments (bribes) paid into offshore accounts during his days as a chief executive at CONCACAF, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Football Association. CONCACAF, one arm of FIFA, is in charge of the sport in North America. It would take a lot of space to provide complete details about the so-called “commissions” Blazer admits he received from sponsors, sale of television rights and ticket sales. The documents I read say he raked in more than $15 million from various sources. He was also very involved with a chap named Austin ‘Jack’ Warner from Trinidad and Tobago. Jack Warner was vice-president of FIFA and president of CONCACAF until his resignation in June 2011. Warner was one of those arrested on May 27. He’s charged with wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering and faces extradition to the US.

managing inventory of completed but unsold units – inventory that is still above historical average,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “CMHC also forecasts slight moderation in housing starts in 2015 and 2016, reflecting a slowdown in housing market activity in oil-producing provinces that will partly be offset by increased activity in provinces that are seeing the positive impacts of low oil prices.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in month-

ly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market which can vary significantly from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 201,705 units in May, up from 183,329 units in April. The SAAR of urban starts increased by 10.8 per cent in May to 185,235 units. Multi-unit urban starts increased by 16.9 per cent to 126,367 units in May, while the single-de-

tached urban starts segment essentially held steady at 58,868 units. In May, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Atlantic Canada, Ontario and Québec, while it decreased in British Columbia and the Prairies. As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.

The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 181,231 units in May compared to 179,524 in April, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “The small increase in the trend was primarily driven by higher multiple starts in Ontario, the Atlantic region, and Québec. Despite month-to-month variation in multiple starts, CMHC expects builders will continue to focus on

LAWS participates in Perth Pet Valu’s successful pet adoption weekend This past weekend, Perth Pet Valu held their national adoption weekend in which LAWS participated. We were there with several animals up for adoption who all now have been adopted! A huge shout out goes to the team at Perth Pet Valu for their continual support of LAWS with their events. Additionally, in April Perth Pet Valu chose LAWS as their animal rescue of choice for National Pet Appreciation Month. At the end of that month, $2,331 was raised in funds with an additional $792.76 was raised in supplies.

What amazing community support! Thank you so much, Perth Pet Valu!

Global Pet Foods Kanata is located at 700 Eagleson Road, Kanata. We hope to see you there! Perth PAWS yard sale Last weekend, the Perth PAWS group held their annual yard sale. They were blessed with good weather, happy shoppers, awesome volunteers (without whom this event could not have happened) and generous contributors. This all resulted in a grand total of $2,010 with all proceeds going to LAWS. What a fantastic effort put in by our community partners. LAWS would like to take this opportunity to say thank you again to PAWS for continually supporting LAWS with their efforts.

Scott Moffatt, RVCA chair Lyle Pederson, and event emcee and part of the LiVE 88.5 Morning Start Up team Dave Schellenberg to celebrate the planting of the RVCA’s five millionth tree and the dedication of a red oak along RVCA’s Memory Lane. of idle land being converted back into thriving, treed landscapes. “We are grateful to our watershed municipalities for investing in our green infrastructure,” said Pederson. “The additional commitment from landowners and our business community is a reflection of our shared desire for a healthy, green sustainable watershed.” Jason Kelly, chair of the RVCF, agreed stating that a single tree can do so much. “It cleans the air, provides wildlife habitat and prevents soil erosion,” said Kelly. “Multiply that one tree by five million and

you will have some very significant long-term community benefits for a small investment. Thank you to all our partners and especially the generous donors who support our tree planting program.” These eastern Ontario tree planting efforts are steered by the City of Ottawa, Mississippi Valley Conservation, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Forests Ontario, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and hundreds of community-minded landowners.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is the recipient of the School Boards’ Co-operative Inc. (SBCI) Best in Class Health and Safety Award for the 2013-2014 school year. This award recognizes statistical performance based on the size of the board (small, medium or large), and means that the UCDSB had the lowest frequency for lost time and no lost time workers’ compensation claims for the 2013-14 school year compared to other large school boards in Ontario. According to the SBCI report, for the fifth straight year, the UCDSB has had a lost time frequency rate below the provincial peer group lost

time frequency rate. Nancy Barkley, UCDSB superintendent of business, says the success of the board’s health and safety program is due in large part to the continued leadership and efforts of the UCDSB’s joint health and safety committee, in particular its injury prevention initiatives and enhanced workplace safety inspections. “The human resources disability management team, which assists employees by providing meaningful work accommodations and workstation set-up and reviews also deserves credit for its contributions towards achieving this provincial statistical performance award,” Barkley says.

“Most importantly, this recognition is evidence that every Upper Canadian takes his or her responsibility for safety seriously. “In order to maintain and continue to improve our safety performance, it is important that the UCDSB continues to enhance its safety culture and accountability.” Submitted by Allison Grange, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

School board wins health and safety award

There are many benefits of shopping local when purchasing your food. June 1-7 is local food week. To support local food producers and build on food safety skills, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has launched an online learning module specifically for vendors producing and selling food at farmers’ markets. “We recognize that farmers are very busy and that attending an in-class food safety course sometimes does not fit into a busy schedule. This online module takes about 35 minutes to complete and covers the basics that anyone producing and selling local food at farmers’ markets needs to know” and can be completed at their convenience. The module can be accessed on the health unit website at www.healtunit.

org under food safety/food handler training courses. Upon completion of this module and passing a short online quiz participants will receive a certificate. This module is the latest addition in online food safety learning modules offered by the health unit. Currently there is a food safety module for the institutional setting, which will benefit food handlers working in the long-term care, hospital and day care setting. In the near future another module focusing on food safety at special events is expected to be added. The food safety section of the website offers information on food safety for food businesses and those producing food at home. Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), along with its valued funding, administrative and planting partners, celebrated the planting of their five millionth tree on May 28. This special tree is hidden among the more than 240,000 seedlings planted this spring throughout the watershed – somewhere in the more than 4,000 square kilometres of ground between the City of Ottawa and South Frontenac Township north of Kingston. “We are delighted to share this major milestone with our many municipal and community mindedfunding partners, landowners and staff who have been involved in the program since its launch in 1983,” said RVCA chair Lyle Pederson. “As someone who has been involved in the RVCA tree planting program – I can speak to the professional staff, impressive financial incentives and the many benefits the tree planting program offers.” This achievement was celebrated with a memorial tree being selected and dedicated on RVCA’s Memory Lane. Memory Lane trees recognize significant achievements or special people in the local conservation movement. Ottawa Coun. Scott Moffatt representing Mayor Jim Watson and Rob Keen, CEO from Forests Ontario joined RVCA chair Lyle Pederson and RVCF chair Jason Kelly, along with Live 88.5 morning show host Dave Schellenberg, who is Canada’s first and only carbon neutral radio station and a major sponsor of local tree planting. A thanks to the many, community-minded funding partners, more than $4.7 million has been raised to support tree planting since 1983 – much of these funds coming through the hard work of the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation (RVCF). The total value of the local reforestation effort including the landowner contributions is closer to $8.3 million and has resulted in more than 21 square kilometres (2,100 hectares)

The Lanark County 4-H Association held its annual Go For The Gold question-and-answer competition at the Beckwith Recreation Complex on Sunday, June 7. More than 100 young people took part, answering questions on materials, agriculture, food, community events, and more.. Above, Kyle White, at left, reclines during a more relaxed segment of the game, as Luke Ford listens to a question. Below, As Marcus Reynolds-Harpell looks on, Kyle White, right, challenges a question.

When it comes to garden centres consumers are confronted with many choices from small outlets to large box stores. Many offer trees, shrubs and paving stones with the lowest price being the primary focus, which ultimately leaves the consumer disappointed. Stoneworks Outdoor Solutions on Hwy 43 between Perth and Smiths Falls strives to offer their customers a different approach. Stoneworks aim is to provide the best quality products available for our customers and at competitive prices. Customers include both contractors who want materials they can stake their reputation on and homeowners who demand the best for their property. Stoneworks offers the full line of Permacon landscaping products. Permacon is Canada’s first choice for Landscaping Stone and all Permacon pavers offer a full 50 year warranty. No competitors in the industry offer consumers anything close to this level of peace of mind. Stoneworks sees an opportunity to change the live goods market. Most garden centers sell low quality small trees. The consumer who buys these trees ultimately goes years without achieving the shade or the estab-

lished look they desire. Stoneworks large caliper wire basket trees gives customers much larger, healthier and more attractive than your average store bought tree and are less expensive than you may expect. Prices range between 200-400 dollars for most wire basket trees. Well worth it to make a new home seem established on an empty lot or a homeowner who wants the enjoyment of a mature tree as soon as possible. With over 100 large wire basket trees on site Stoneworks typically has a tree that will suit your needs in stock. Stoneworks also carries a large variety of natural stone which is used as functional retaining walls or decorative stone features. They carry all the soils, aggregates and mulch necessary for your projects. At Stoneworks all bulk materials are actually sold by the yard. Other retailers sell material by the bucket often requiring 2-3 buckets to equal a single yard. Stoneworks carries only locally produced all natural cedar mulch which is better for our environment leaving a smaller carbon foot print than the other retailers who haul mulch in from Toronto and Quebec. For smaller quantities bagged mulch and soil is

available as is bulk lawn seed and a vast quantity of fabrics used for landscaping, erosion, weed barriers, septic systems and road construction. To remain competitive in the market Stoneworks sells all there geotextile fabrics at the same rate they are sold at in Ottawa, making them the most economical source for landscape fabrics in Lanark County. A quantity of shrubs and perennials are restocked biweekly and offer customers the freshest live goods available. The indoor landscape show room is full of gifts, crafts outdoor furniture and great ideas for your own projects. The staff are very familiar with the local industry and can connect you with some of the area’s premier contractors if you require assistance. Don’t hesitate to check out Stoneworks Outdoor Solutions right next to the KW Outdoor Power Sales Complex. There is an entrance at 6062 Hwy 43 and 6092 Hwy 43. With Stoneworks and KW outdoor power sales you have one stop shopping for all your yard and garden needs. Stoneworks is open Monday to Friday 8 am -5pm, Saturday 9-4 and Sunday 10am-2pm.

filled nights and welcoming community made her feel she had come home. “I was very fortunate to be let into that deep culture,” she says. Playing at ceilidhs with her lighthouse keeper (who was also a fiddler), she blossomed in the nurturing atmosphere, not only with her music, but also on stage with a local theatre group. When the relationship ended four years later, she took up residence in Halifax and made a name for herself at the Flamingo Club, playing Monday nights at the open mic. Thanks to support from CBC, she recorded her first, self-titled album in 1989. Baby career steps turned to self-confident strides when she recorded b’tween the earth and my soul in the St. Mary’s University Art Gallery. The stunning result ignited a blaze of radio and television appearances, a tour and a plethora of special performances.

mon. She began to play music at age 19, first teaching herself piano chords, then guitar. Her public debut performance occurred at Smale’s Place, the coffee house where she worked as a waitress, when she was invited on stage to sing a song with the headlining act. Around that time, she was writing poetry and, through a friend, met Governor General Award-winning poet, Margaret Avison, then writer-in-residence at the University of Western Ontario. “She was very encouraging,” recalls Smith. “Each time I went to visit her, I read a poem and she told me I was a wonderful writer. It was very informal, but she affected me.” Moving to Toronto in 1972, Smith embarked on the next leg of her voyage. She met a lighthouse keeper, and shortly after relocated to Cape Breton.

They toured major centres to great audiences and lovely reviews. Festival appearances included stops at the Canmore Folk Festival, Edmonton Folk Festival and Stanfest, just down the road from home in Canso, Nova Scotia. Smith soon embarked on new opportunities and adventures – she was blessed with an opportunity to perform the role of Marilla in Anne and Gilbert, the Musical during the summers of 2005 and 2006. During that period she also started at Acadia University working towards her Music Therapy degree. After taking a year off, in November of this year she returned to picturesque Wolfville, Nova Scotia to continue her studies at Acadia.

On Saturday, June 13, Nova Scotia musician Laura Smith takes to the stage at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street in Perth, accompanied by Paul Mills (Curly Boy Stubbs) on guitar, for the last show of the 2014/2105 series. In Laura Smith’s music, real emotions ebb and flow. Your heart is in her capable hands, and likewise, she has entrusted you with hers. As she sings, her strong, melodious voice waves and catches, snagging on a scar here and there, surfing on a wonder, staring down a riddle...As you listen, the two of you go along together; brave and surfacing; calm and inquisitive. Smith’s music is direct and honest. Sometimes, fiddles and guitars gently lift and carry her spirited vocals, while her melodies and careful poetry dig deep. “My work is all very simple, earthbased,” says the Maritime-based singer/ songwriter. Her work is not so much written, as painstakingly designed, cut and stitched together. “Like quilt craft,” she explains. “I make it body and soul, with everything I have available – my sensibilities, my ability to play. So many things come into the making of a song. When I say write, it limits what I bring to bear.” She has already experienced exhilarating career highs. Her 1994 album, b’tween the earth and my soul, elicited unbounded critical acclaim, enormous airplay, national television appearances and a hungry demand for live performances. From the stages of Denmark to Newport, Rhode Island to Vancouver to the Yukon, Smith has shared the secrets of her soul, laying out for rapt audiences her private, yet ultimately universal experiences. Born and raised in London, Ontario, Smith grew up loving horses, theatre and language. As a teenager, she found comfort in the voices of Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Ray Charles and Paul Si-

played by Christine Winter, within moments of meeting them on the stage.” The audience will also soon fall in love with the imaginative sets her designers and construction crew have created for her: the set itself deserves credit as one of the stars of the show. Mix in a love interest for Bridget in the form of Tom, the overly helpful police officer; a grumpy landlord intent on getting Nana evicted and his wife who turns out to be Nana’s best client, a sexy employee of Nana’s competition, as well as some hard working UPS delivery people and you have a recipe for mass confusion and laugh-out-loud moments that will leave audiences wanting more. 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 credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online (smithsfallstheatre. com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls. We invite everyone to keep in touch with our upcoming plays, movies and music series (like the concert to be performed by pop/soul musician Patrick Lehman on June 27) by going to our website (www. smithsfallstheatre.com) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

It’s a bit of a romp for mature audiences. A night of fun based on the first principles of good farce: deception, miss-communication and a lot of slamming doors! We’re talking about Nana’s Naughty Knickers, written by Katherine DiSavino, directed by first-time director, Sheila Jasiak, and featuring a veteran cast – playing until Sunday, June 14, at the Station Theatre. First week audiences had a great time. “This is the most fun I’ve had at a theatre,” said one satisfied patron. “I laughed so hard I cried,” was the reaction of another we interviewed after the first act. There’s still plenty of opportunity to see the show and to have a photo taken in the lobby with the comical stand-up. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Bridget (Nicki Hayes) and her grandmother Sylvia, played by Emily Duberville, are about to become roommates for the summer. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favourite Nana in New York turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her rent-controlled apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to senior citizens in her neighbourhood. After the slow reveal – so to speak – the deception begins, with Bridget, Nana and Grannie’s friend Vera (who never quite gets it because of her deafness) desperately trying to keep their secret from the prying eyes of a constant flow of interlopers coming to the door. Director Sheila Jasiak adopted a sure-fire strategy for a first production: surround herself with the most talented actors, stage crew, designers and stage construction experts she could find and give them a wellwritten, funny play to work with. “Comedy is all about timing,” she says. “I have been heavily influenced by classic actors such as Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett. With these amazing artists in mind, patrons will have a good idea where I am going with Nana. I expect people will fall in love with Sylvia and her best friend Vera,

‘Zero Carbon Build’ shows future of sustainable living Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Imagine a house that keeps functioning when the grid shuts down, such as during an ice storm or extended power outage. After ﬁve years of designing and perfecting, Chris and Claire Weissﬂog’s ‘zero carbon build’ is nearing completion. “The genesis of this is to demonstrate where we want to take the business (EcoGen Energy),” explained Chris. “We wanted to bring all the technologies we know about into this house.” He realized, while designing and installing solar water heating systems, it could be done much more effectively from the ground up. “That just snowballed to greater realizations,” said Chris. “We wanted to take all the technologies we knew about that were relevant and put them into a house – creating as close to zero carbon lifestyle as possible.” As a family, they have a carbon footprint attributed to heating, travel and even the food they eat, he explained. “So we thought, let’s try to tackle as much as we can,” said Chris. The house produces triple the amount of electricity it requires. “One third of the power the house will generate goes to the house itself; one third will go to the electric car and the extra

power generated can go back into the grid,” said Chris. The house’s roof and awning will feature solar electric panels. The roof of the garage-workshop will feature a solar thermal system, which will produce heat that gets stored to heat the house and water. “We have two stores for the heat produced,” he noted. “The long-term store, which is 60,000 litres (buried below the laundry room) and the high-temperature store (in the basement), which is 6,000 litres.” The long-term store will be used to heat the house throughout the winter and preheat the domestic hot water. The hightemperature store will further boost the temperature of the domestic hot water for washing dishes and taking showers. There will also be a small greenhouse beside the garage, which will be heated in the fall and spring using excess heat, and raised beds for herbs and vegetables. The garage-workshop space, along with an attached shed space, are conventionally insulated. “These spaces are used for storage of tools and that sort of thing, so they don’t need to be heated,” said Chris. The house, on the other hand, features two feet thick walls and triple pane windows and doors. “All the windows we have are tilt and turn, or awning types,”

how to tune the windows. “The house was designed so the lowest point of our footings allow for natural drainage, using a gravity drain, so there’s no need for a sump pump,” said Chris. The laundry room, which

will be used to hang clothes to dry all year long utilizing a cross breeze between windows, features hydronic radiant ceiling heating. “It circulates water through the ceiling, using tubes that run along tracks,” said Chris. He explained the heated water flows through the tubes, which are buried below the floor in the main part of the house, and then flows back out of the house when it becomes cold. After the tubing was installed throughout the house, concrete was poured over the tubes. “Concrete is a great conductor of heat,” explained Chris. Water is used to heat and cool the house, depending on the season. “In the winter, we use the stored summer heat and in the summer, we take the cold from the ground,” he commented. Everything in the home was modelled to fit with the geographical location, down to the placement of many large windows on the south side of the home and few windows on the north side. “There’s houses built to code, which aren’t very efficient; energy star houses use 25 per cent less energy than code; R2000 houses use 50 per cent less energy than code and Passive House homes use 80 per cent less energy,” said Chris.

FETHERSTON From the front

We’re just going through the final stages of selecting a construction company to do the work. We’ve issued the purchase order for the MBR. We deal with Koester, which will build the plant for us. Koester has two divisions; one that designs and builds treatment plants and one – Team Aquatic – that operates the system.” “It’s contingent on having the financing in place,” said Loiselle. “This project is very unique. We have a fund available for qualifying customers to purchase our water systems – qualifying customers being municipalities in Ontario with A-rated credit. Basically any municipality can access this fund. The problem is Fetherston is not a municipality – it’s privately owned. So it’s not qualified for our typical funding model. Clearford is funding that one itself, which is why it’s a little more challenging.” He explained Clearford had to seek alternative forms of financing for the plant, which is projected to cost $1 million. He said Clearford has a concrete financing option for the Fetherston plant on the table currently. “We’re finalizing the details, but it’s not all signed off yet,” said Loiselle. “Our expectation is that it will be concluded shortly. We’re in the advanced stage.” He explained financing for the plant will be in place within the next two to four weeks. “I would say no later than the beginning of July,” said Loiselle. He explained the project is also faced with minor amendments to the ECA (Environmental Compliance Approval). “It’s just an engineering clarification,” said Loiselle. “This is a state-of-the-art system and that’s very typical – not out of the ordinary.” He explained this project is very important to Clearford. “It will be our main demonstrator plant,” said Loiselle. “We’ll use it as a showpiece. The economics of this project wouldn’t have normally allowed us to proceed, but the purpose is to demonstrate the full power of our systems. We also found it appealing that we could help people who wouldn’t have otherwise had any options.” He said Clearford has really stretched to make this project work. “This is something very few companies would undertake and we have,” said Loiselle. “All the expenses required to design, build and execute this project have been incurred by us already. Although we are regretful for the delays, we’re determined to do this and we should be getting a little more credit for an extremely challenging job. We’re determined to honour our commitment. There is no doubt our company will deliver this system. When it’s done, people will be very impressed with what we’ve done.”

A drain water recovery system is in place to recover some of the heat lost when showering. “It functions on the basis of surface tension,” said Chris. “When water comes down, it sticks to

the side of the pipe, called the falling ﬁlm effect. So if the water coming down is warmer than the cold water coming up, it will transfer the heat to the water coming up.” The pipes that draw the water from the well on the property, using a highly efﬁcient well pump, pass through oversized pipes. “When water moves up, the larger diameter pipe reduces resistance,” said Chris.

gy consumption makes up for the difference, then an energy efficient home is actually cheaper. And it’s more comfortable.” He explained people living on fixed incomes and young families have difficulty keeping up with rising energy costs and an energy efficient home could protect them from the constant increases. “We want to build hyper efficient houses at a lower cost of ownership,” said Chris. “That’s why we think going down this road is so important.” He explained his home will function as a demonstrator. “There are an incredible amount of things we can do, depending on what people are looking for,” said Chris. “Some people might be into growing their own food. Some people might want to be off grid. Some people might want to reduce the amount of carbon they burn and some people may want to just save money. There are many ways we can give people the lifestyle they want.” He will be doing a presentation at the Passive House conference in Chicago in September about his house. An open house will be held on July 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for people to come check out all the bits and pieces of the ‘zero carbon build,’ before the drywall goes up. The house is expected to be completed sometime in the fall.

The Passive House Institute created the software, a complex spreadsheet for modelling the house energy requirements, which he used, alongside another spreadsheet he built fixed solely on thermal and energy storage systems - the collectors, tanks, DHW and hydronic heating and the drain water heat recovery. “That spreadsheet helped me to determine that the solar thermal collection and storage system would work and it helped me to optimize its design,” said Chris. The heat from the water running throughout the house helps to redistribute gains made from the big southern windows, if needed. “That way the house is consistently the same temperature throughout,” explained Chris. “The thermal mass in the floor continues to give off heat during the night.” There is 1,000 feet of pipe below the garage used to shed the excess heat produced by the house. The walls of the home, exterior and interior, are insulated with dense packed cellulose, which is bits of old newspaper, and covered in fiber board. “Instead of a plastic vapour barrier, because the walls are so thick, we used OSB (oriented strand board), covered in a rub-

The cellar in the basement is not insulated below, to allow for maintenance of cool temperatures. “It’s in contact with the cold ground all year long for cold storage purposes,” said Chris. There is a heat recovery ventilator system in the basement as well, which takes stale air from inside and exchanges it for fresh air outside. “As the fresh air passes the stale air, it takes some of its heat,” said Chris. The water in the longterm and high-temperature store are heated using heat exchanger coils. The solar panels heat the glycol, which is then used to heat the water. “It’s the largest scale one I’ve ever built,” said Chris. EcoGen Energy is trying to promote energy efficient building techniques, he explained, which will cost homeowners less when factoring in energy consumption costs and maintenance. “This house is the extreme model of what we want to do,” said Chris. “We’re aiming to build an energy efficient house that’s well insulated and sealed, requiring significantly less energy to heat, for 10 per cent more than houses built to code. It’s really a no brainer. If you spend 10 per cent more on your mortgage, but the 80 per cent savings on ener-

Update provided on North Grenville Fire Service at committee jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The following is a list of briefs from the June 1 Committee of the Whole meeting. NGFS busy with training and public education Fire Chief Paul Hutt provided a few quick updates concerning the North Grenville Fire Service. “The service has been very busy with training,” said Hutt. “A lot of our members have been taking courses, such as the fire inspector course, courtroom procedures course and fire investigator course.” He said 45 members of the NGFS have been re-certified in First Aid and life saving training recently. “We’ve also been busy attending community events,” said Hutt. “The NGFS attended the Dandelion Festival and the Jumpstart BBQ at Canadian Tire to provide truck tours. A member of the NGFS also attended the trade show (Ottawa Valley Home and Better Living) on May 31 and answered a lot of questions about carbon monoxide.” He said the NGFS has been receiving requests from teachers to come to the schools and provide information to students concerning fire safety. “That’s been great – we enjoy doing that,” said Hutt. Building inspection vacancy filled Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, said there has been a vacancy in the planning department since fall 2014. “We wanted to wait and see what type of development would occur this year,” explained Symon. “It became clear we were experiencing robust development. We had to fill the position of building inspector.” He explained the municipality was able to hire from within the existing pool of staff. “Emily Harris, who is the existing building clerk, was the successful applicant,” said Symon. “Over the past few years, she has been upgrading her training and has now achieved the prerequisites to be a building inspector.” He explained the position Harris previously held must now be backed filled. “But she will be on hand to assist with mentoring, which will be beneficial to the department,” said Symon. The Committee of the Whole recommended the appointment to council.

tween Chamber of Commerce and municipality Symon explained the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce is in the midst of a transition. “As such, the chamber is downsizing – moving out of their storefront location on Clothier Street,” said Symon. “Members of the chamber had inquired whether the municipality could accommodate them, with a few offices and a meeting space, until such time as they are able to secure a permanent situation.” He said staff have recommended the usage of the municipally owned Kernahan building (509 Kernahan Street), which housed water and sewer employees a few years ago. “The insurance is still under review,” said Symon. “We have identified potential improvements to the insurance clause. The chamber will be required to pay a modest amount of rent to use the building, which will be rented on a month to month basis. This is a short term solution.” The Committee of the Whole recommended the short term lease agreement to council. The lease began June 1. Armoury is first priority in Canada 150th Community Infrastructure Program Mark Guy, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, said staff have identified two key municipal properties that

qualify for the Canada 150th Community Infrastructure Program, intended to promote restoration of heritage buildings in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary in July 2017. The buildings identified were the armoury, which is priority number one, and the old town hall in Oxford Mills (beside Maplewood), which is priority number two. Both applications will be submitted, prior to the deadline of June 9, in the hopes of receiving up to 50 per cent of the necessary funding for various repairs. “Currently, the armoury is leased regularly 1.5 days a week by the navy league and other community groups,” said Guy. “Recently, we have undertaken a mould abatement program and installed a new furnace. However, the armoury still requires extensive work including brick work and window replacement. There are significant upgrades needed.” He explained members of the NGFS recently did an inspection and identified some key areas of improvement. “The armoury is in the footprint of Riverside Park, which is an attractive area,” said Guy. He explained the old town hall in Oxford Mills is not currently being leased, functioning as a storage facility. “It’s in disrepair,” said Guy. “It doesn’t meet accessibility standards.” He said the North Grenville Histori-

cal Society has expressed interest in using the building as a museum or archives down the road. He explained the North Grenville Curling Club, which is in need of a new condenser, has also submitted an application for the program. “The cost of the new condenser is roughly $35,000,” said Guy. “The club is eligible to apply for the program, due to their status. The municipality has signed off, as the property owner, on the application. However, this application is separate from the two we are submitting.” Recommendation made for 2015 Community Grant allocations Sheila Kehoe, Treasurer, explained the 2015 community grant applications have been reviewed by the Community Grants and Civic Awards Advisory Committee and six grants will be handed out, totaling $5,000. “We received requests from eight applicants, totaling $8,050,” said Kehoe. The grants are to be distributed as follows; Kemptville District Home Support will receive $990, Kemptville District Minor Hockey Association will receive $990, Kemptville Minor Football Club will receive $990, Kemptville Scouts will receive $990, North Grenville Historical Society will receive $740 and the Oxford Mills Community Association will receive $300. The Committee of the Whole recommended to council that the

recommendations for community grants be accepted. Rideau-Saunders Community Improvement plan recommendations made Kehoe explained seven property owners within the Rideau-Saunders corridor of Kemptville were successful in their applications for the improvement program. “There were seven applicants who met the criteria, with a total project value of $49,202,” said Kehoe. She explained a total of $21,000 for improvements was requested by the seven applicants. A total of $20,000 is being recommended by the Community Grants and Civic Awards Advisory Committee. The funds are to be dispersed as follows; Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market will receive $450, Kemptville Salvation Army will receive $4,787, the property owner of 507-509 Saunders Street will receive $4,425, the Quickie Convenience Store will receive $2,273, Kemptville Suites will receive $4,750, the property owner of 13 Clothier Street West will receive $1,417 and the property owner of 13, 15, 17 Clothier Street East will receive $1,897. For a full list of the projects those funds will be used for, see http://www.northgrenville.ca/ files/9%20Agenda%20Package%20 CofW%20June%201.pdf See COMMITTEE page K10

OPINION

Corporate confusion

ix months ago, I got a new phone – fresh on the market and top of the line. I am not a technology person – more of a pencil and paper type – but my phone is an integral part of my job. A few weeks ago, my new phone, which I purchased back in November 2014, began to glitch. It would turn itself off for no apparent reason. I conduct various interviews throughout the week and sometimes wouldn’t notice my phone was off for a few hours, while I was wrapped up in conversation. As a parent, I have to be reachable at all times. If my oldest son happened to fall off the play structure during those few hours my phone decided to misbehave, I can assure you it probably would have ended up in the river. I called my service provider and told them my new phone needed to be repaired. Fine. I sent it away to be ﬁxed, receiving a loaner phone in the meantime (a service they intended to charge me $35 for, which I refused to pay). Two weeks later, I still hadn’t heard anything or received my phone back. I called my service provider and asked where my phone was and why it hadn’t been returned to me. The representative informed me my six-month-old phone was ‘no good’ anymore and the preowned phone I was told was a loaner (the paperwork it came with also stated it was a loaner) was actually the replacement. Imagine my surprise.

wenty-six days. That’s how long I had to keep this secret. The little mama-to-be wanted to wait until her ﬁrst trimester was almost over to tell everyone but now the word is out. I’m going to be a grandma! Anastasia was quite insistent that our annual Mother’s Day brunch would be held at her house this year. Normally we do Merrickville and this year we thought a picnic might be nice but rain was in the forecast so Suzy Homemaker jumped on the opportunity to have it at her little bungalow. Her band of hunting dogs had to be banished to the outside to ﬁt all the people in. When we were all assembled, Annie handed me, her mother-in-law, her grandma and her aunt a card. I opened mine and saw it said “Happy Mother’s Day, Grandma.” I looked at Annie, who was peering at me with those big brown eyes that got her the nickname Tweety Bird when she was a baby. “You gave me the wrong card, honey,” I whispered, giggling. I don’t know how many times I have bought a card because of the beautiful design on the cover or script inside, only later to no-

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

I told the representative there was no way I was going to keep someone else’s used phone in exchange for a phone I purchased brand new with a one-year warranty. In response, I was told the service provider doesn’t exchange for brand new phones anymore and the loaner phone was only ‘gently’ used. I told the representative this was unacceptable – there was no way I was keeping a pre-owned phone which could have been dropped or damaged in some way and didn’t come with a renewed one-year warranty. I was transferred to a different representative who gave me the same spiel. Finally, I said I wanted someone higher up within the service provider company to call me immediately with a legitimate explanation as to why its acceptable to replace phones under warranty with preowned ones, so I could take notes for my own records. If not, I would return the loaner phone straight away and cancel my service. Suddenly, I was getting a brand new phone I could pick up right away and more data, for a lower monthly cost than I was paying previously. Don’t let big business push you around.

tice that the greeting on the front was slightly off. “No, I didn’t,” Annie said with a little smirk. “Ohhhhhh!!!!!!” I didn’t even open the card. So happy. No words. Just scooped her up off the ﬂoor with a big hug. Now, Annie and her hubby Andrew are young, so it isn’t like they have been trying for ages or anything, but they have been married nearly three years. And they did raise that litter of lab pups last winter. I guess that helped them to imagine introducing a baby into their busy lives. I’m looking forward to helping with this new baby; the ﬁrst grandchild on both sides of our family. It won’t have a typical upbringing for

a 2015 baby, according to its parents. Neither one of them is on Facebook or any other form of social media. They do own cell phones but they do not cease breathing or functioning normally if they accidentally leave their phone at home for the day. Their favourite activity is hunting. When they aren’t hunting they are chopping wood, or swimming in the river with their dogs, or helping someone to build or move something. They are on a baseball league and they rarely miss Sunday dinner with the family. I think they have their priorities straight. I’m a young grandma, but not quite as young as my mother was when I had my ﬁrst child. It’s great – I should still have the energy and strength to look after a wee one, so I can help my daughter out whenever she needs it. I’m looking forward to being the go-to person for babysitting, living just ten minutes away. Of course, I’ll share with the other grandparents, and I’ll try not to make a pest of myself. The topic of discussion lately has been the gender of the new baby. We went shopping on the weekend, the little mama and I, and wandered into a baby

store. It will be so much easier when we know the sex. Baby clothes are the icing on the delicious fat baby cake. I can’t wait to start buying them. But even though I know that any girl born to those two will be raised knowing how to drive a tractor, hit a baseball and shoot a gun, I still have trouble justifying dressing her in plaid and denim at the beginning. And if it’s a boy, I don’t want the frilly dresses I’m eyeing to be left unused in the closet. So I have to be patient again. For at least another 26 days. Next month the parents-to-be are looking forward to a gender-revealing ultrasound. We never had such a thing

when I was pregnant. I was allowed one ultrasound per pregnancy and my doctor said if we were meant to know the sex, there would be a window on the mama’s belly. Excuse me while I go and google “gender reveal parties” on Pinterest. This baby is due Dec. 31st. Just like its mama, who didn’t arrive until Jan. 11 – and Daddy was born Jan. 12. I guess we know what we are doing this coming holiday season. Watching and waiting for a very special gift to arrive. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianaﬁsher1@gmail.com

Committee of the Whole briefs continued COMMITTEE From page K6

AMO delegation Brian Carré, CAO, said it’s the time of year to submit delegation requests for the AMO (Association of Municipalities Ontario) conference. “The deadline for submissions is July 6,” said Carré. “I would ask council to reflect and to prepare requests, if so desired.” Municipal elections act under review Carré explained the municipal elections act is under review and a working group has been established to address various proposed changes, including the ranked ballot approach and reducing the campaign period. “Ontarians will be able to provide input,” said Carré. “I would just like to leave council and the public with that information tonight.” Cahl Pominville, Clerk, said the next Committee of the Whole meeting will be held at Maplewood in Oxford Mills on June 15. Historian Program recommended to be awarded to ISI Controls Inc. Mike Finley, Superintendent of Environmental Services, said staff are recommending that the upgrade to the Historian Program, which will collect data from the Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System, be awarded to ISI Controls Inc., in the amount of $60,974, excluding applicable taxes.

Are Calcium Pills Killing us?

ISI Controls will be awarded the contract to purchase, install and program the Historian Program. The approved budgeted amount for the project is $60,000. The Committee of the Whole recommended the contract to council. Ultra violet system replacement deferred Finley said staff are recommending the new ultra violet system at the Water Pollution Control Plant be deferred until 2016, with the exception of a replacement UV bulb for the current system, at a cost of $6,000. He explained the UV system disinfects the effluent water at the plant. He said the Water and Sewer Servicing Master Plan, included in the 2014 budget, shows necessary upgrades to the plant a few years prior to 2027, to meet increased demands. He said the budgeted amount for the new UV system is $200,000, but the estimated cost is $255,000. “We are recommending the new UV system be deferred until 2016 budget deliberations, excluding the $6,000 for the new UV bulb,” said Finley. He explained the remaining $194,000 is to be transferred to the water and sewer reserve to be used for carry forward projects. All upgrades to water and sewer are paid for through user fees – not taxation. Water meter replacement program update Finley said the water meter replacement program, to radio frequency meters, is a multi-year municipal program. He explained, of the 300 meters to be replaced in 2015, totaling $150,000, approximately 120 meters have been replaced.

Is there anything sacred anymore? For years researchers have stressed that people are not getting sufficient calcium to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis (brittle bones). But now a research report claims that calcium supplements increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, a largely unknown vitamin can prevent this tragedy. Dr. Ian Reid and his colleagues at the University of Auckland, Dr. Gifford-Jones New Zealand, studied 14,000 women who were taking 1,000 mg (milligrams) of calcium daily. They report in the British Medical Journal that these women showed a 31 percent increased risk of coronary attack, stroke and death. This means 14 extra heart attacks, 10 more strokes and 13 more deaths over a two to five year period than women not taking calcium pills. Why does this happen? Dr. Reid says that people look on calcium supplements as a natural remedy. But that is not the case as the supplement has a different effect on the body than dietary calcium. His studies show that when people take calcium pills, their blood calcium level shoots up for four to six hours to the top end of the normal range. This may result in calcium being deposited in coronary arteries. It does not happen with dietary calcium since food is slowly absorbed. This is shocking news as, unlike some supplements, there’s never been a major controversy about taking calcium. So should North Americans stop popping calcium pills? Not so quick, says Dr. Dawson-Hughes, Director of Tuft’s University Bone Metabolism Laboratory, in Boston. She points out that there were 143 heart attacks in the calcium group and 111 in the placebo group not taking this supplement. Not a huge difference. Hughes adds that the most glowing error was not including studies where calcium was taken along with vitamin D. For instance, the Women’s Health Initiative, a major New England study, showed that taking calcium along with vitamin D had no effect on the risk of heart attack or stroke. According to Dr. Dawson-Hughes, on no occasion should calcium be taken without also taking vitamin D, as this vitamin is crucial to putting calcium into bone where it should be. But does taking vitamin D solve the problem? Not so fast again, says Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue, an expert on natural health remedies. In her book “Vitamin K2 and The Calcium Paradox”, she reports that calcium must remain in the bones just as gasoline belongs in the tanks of our cars. And that there is a safe way for both sexes to take calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis without succumbing to heart attack. Unlike most physicians, Rheaume-Bleue says it’s not saturated fat and cholesterol that cause heart attacks. Rather, the culprit is a lack of the little known vitamin K2. She agrees that Vitamin D is necessary for the intestinal absorption of calcium. But once in the circulation, D lets calcium, like a raging bull, run wild, allowing it to be deposited in the heart, thus causing an increase in coronary attack. She says vitamin K2 fights the nation’s number one killer by putting calcium into bones and teeth where it belongs and keeps it out of arteries. For instance, if calcium enters the wall of the aorta, the largest artery that carries blood to the rest of the body, this causes increased risk of rupture and sudden death. Most people get adequate amounts of vitamin K1 present in leafy vegetables, green tea and soy beans. But many lack K2 because its major source is steamed and fermented sticky soy, not an enticing breakfast meal. The second best source is cheese. All researchers believe it’s best to get calcium from dietary sources. But if a dietary deficiency exists, don’t stop calcium supplements as it’s now possible to protect bones from osteoporosis and your heart from calcium infiltration. Rather, make certain you take 3,000 milligrams of vitamin D along with 100 micrograms of vitamin K2. It’s available R0013326396_0611 in most health food stores.

KDH interim CEO brings abundance of experience and expertise Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Michel Bilodeau, the interim CEO at the Kemptville District Hospital, said he will bring ‘stability’ to the hospital. The previous CEO, Colin Goodfellow, who held the position for a decade, left the KDH suddenly on March 27. “I hope to bring stability,” said Bilodeau. “When there is a change in leadership, people are worried about how it’s going to be. My approach is to let people know there is someone with experience at the helm.” He has a Bachelor of Art History, MA in Literature and Masters in Public Administration. “I started working in 1970 for the federal government, where I stayed for seven years,” said Bilodeau. He has been working in the health care industry for the past 38 years. He said he began in the health care industry completely by chance. In 1977, he began work as the Vice President of Human Resources at Laval University Hospital Center in Quebec City. “My wife was offered a job and I followed her,” said Bilodeau. “I applied for the VP position and I got it.” In 1983, Bilodeau and his wife, Jocelyne Bourgon, moved to Ottawa. “I applied for the position of Vice

President of Professional Services at the Ottawa General Hospital,” he said. “I worked there from 1983 to 1990.” In 1990, Bilodeau began working at the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital in Ottawa; named after the founder of the Sisters of Charity, which opened the first hospital in Ottawa. During that time, Bilodeau successfully led the merger of the Élisabeth Bruyere Health Centre, Saint-Vincent Hospital, Villa Marguerite and Residence Saint-Louis to create the SCO Health Service. “I led it,” he noted. “I made it happen.” At the time there were over 1,000 beds within the organization. “It’s now known as Bruyère Continuing Care,” said Bilodeau. He remained at Bruyère until 2003. “My wife was offered a job as the Ambassador for the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development),” said Bilodeau. “At one time, she was the number one civil servant in the country – she was appointed Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Canadian Cabinet (becoming the first woman to exercise those functions in Canada).” After 13 years at Bruyère, it was good to take a break, he explained. “I lived in Paris for three years,” said Bilodeau. “In 2006, the CEO of CHEO decided to retire and he recommended I apply for the position.” He started at CHEO in November

2006. He explained his wife stayed in Paris for an extra year, so he travelled to see her every other weekend. “I was at CHEO for five years, from 2006 to 2011,” said Bilodeau. “Then I kind of retired for five months.” The CEO at Bruyère left the position in March 2012 and asked him to assume the interim CEO position, he noted. “I filled the interim CEO role there for five months,” said Bilodeau. He is only semi-retired, working for his wife’s company – Public Governance International – when not busy filling interim positions at hospitals. “We mainly do work on an international basis,” said Bilodeau. “We inform governments on public service reform.” They travel all over the world. “There is work in Britain, France, Finland and Australia,” said Bilodeau. “Basically we help governments who want to improve services and efficiency in the public sector.” He has travelled extensively, including most of Asia. “I’ve been to 65 countries,” said Bilodeau. “Traveling and discovering new cultures is amazing.” Bilodeau also makes time to mentor people taking their Masters in Health Care Administration. He began work at the KDH on April 21. “The hospital is in a good financial

Ticket price of $15 per person includes an afternoon tea.

Housing starts in North Grenville make up approximately 50 per cent of all new home builds in Leeds Grenville, excluding the separated municipalities. “Typically, half of all housing starts in Leeds Grenville are in North Grenville,” said Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development. “It varies from year to year.” In 2013, for example, housing starts in North Grenville accounted for 47 per cent of all new home builds in Leeds Grenville. In 2012, they accounted for 58 per cent. Between 2002 and 2013, 42 per cent of all housing starts in the county were in North Grenville. Over that period, 1,502 homes were built (an average of 137 units per year). The municipality with the second most housing starts – 461 units – was Rideau Lakes. “We have the largest urban, fully serviced, area in Leeds Grenville, aside from the separated municipalities, such as Brockville, Prescott, Smiths Falls and Gananoque,” said Symon. He explained North Grenville is also the closest municipality

GARDENER’S CORNER

within the county to the City of Ottawa. “The Ottawa market is an extremely dominant factor,” said Symon. He explained housing starts went down in 2013 and 2014. “One of the things that’s been affecting housing starts is the resale value of homes,” said Symon. “If you want to buy a new home, then you have to sell your current home, which has been a slow process the last couple of years. It’s starting to pick back up again.” He said the current housing start statistics for 2015 are similar to those in 2013, which saw 126 new units over the course of the year. “As of April 30, there are 29 housing starts,” said Symon. He explained a healthy number of housing starts annually range between 150 and 175. “The last couple years, we’ve been in the 105 to 110 range,” said Symon. “During the best years, 2010 and 2011, we’ve been in the 175 to 250 range, which I would call smoking hot.” So far, the value of construction in 2015 is $8.2 million. “Last year at this time, the value of construction was at $5.3

Bacon Lettuce and Deadly Nightshade That’s right, I’m talking about our old friend the tomato. Solanum Lycopersicum, a member of the deadly nightshade family. Probably the most popular plant in any vegetable garden. Even though it is technically a fruit. Unless you are the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1883 a unanimous decision in the Nix vs Hedden case, ruled it a vegetable. Tariffs could be collected on vegetables but not on fruit. Enough with the classification and history. I’m here to give you a few tips to grow great tomatoes. Tomatoes are stem rooters. All those little hairs on the stem will turn into roots if you pinch off the lower leaves and plant deep. If yours are already in the ground, you can mound compost enriched soil around the stem. More roots - more vigour. Tomatoes will thrive in the following conditions: a slightly acidic soil ( pH 5.56.8 ), full sun, heat and good air circulation around the plant. Overcrowding plants will cause all sorts of humidity induced problems. Most of us have encountered problems over the years with cracking, blossom end rot and wilt. Moisture is the key. There is nothing you can do about the weather but there are things you can do to optimize conditions. Tomatoes do best with consistent watering. A good soaking every four or five days and let the soil dry out between waterings. Always water the soil around the base of the plant, not the foliage. Moisture on the leaves will

allow air borne spores to stick to the leaves. Good air circulation is a must. Crop rotation is also essential. Never plant your tomatoes in the same spot you did last year. Any problems you experience will overwinter in the soil. We rotate ours through 12 raised beds. We normally put them in the boxes that had nitrogen fixing beans last year. If you use the same tomato cages as last year, sterilize the legs in a bleach solution before installing. No point in bringing last year’s problems with you. The longer you can leave the tomato on the plant to ripen the better. More sugars will be produced and better flavour. There are a couple of things you can do to speed up the process. In mid summer pinch off the top or terminal ends of major branches. This will encourage the plant to put more energy into fruit production and less in the growth of foliage. You can also root prune. Take a sharp knife and cut an arc 2 inches out from the stem about 8 inches deep and about a third of the circumference. A little mild stress on the plant will hasten ripening.

million and in 2013, it was at $6.4 million,” said Symon. He said municipal staff is predicting between $40 and $50 million in total construction value in North Grenville in 2015. He said North Grenville is growing faster than any other municipality because it has the municipal infrastructure to sustain the growth. “Having an urban community and the demand for commercial services, is an advantage,” said Symon. He said the other municipalities in the county – Athens, Augusta, Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, Elizabethtown-Kitley, Leeds and the Thousand Islands, MerrickvilleWolford, Rideau Lakes and Westport – don’t have an urban center like Kemptville to build out from. “Having schools, hospitals and daycares – these are all institutions that bring people in, which is an economic driver for new housing,” said Symon. He said when communities stagnate in growth, such as Athens, which accounts for 2 per cent of all housing starts in the county between 2002 and 2013, there is no new sources of taxation.

“It ripples down and affects everything – infrastructure, public works and recreation,” said Symon. He said the development of the North West Quadrant (the lands from Food Basics down to River Road and across to County Road 44) in Kemptville is an important aspect of North Grenville’s continued growth. “Eventually those lands will have between 2,200 and 2,800 homes,” said Symon. He said if the Henderson lands (on the west side of Somerville) are included in the projected growth of the North West Quadrant, that ﬁgure could jump to between 3,000 to 3,500 units over the next two decades. He said the trafﬁc congestion issues on County Road 43 need to be addressed in the near future to allow for continued growth. “It’s a failed road,” said Symon. “It needs to become a four lane, from Colonnade to Somerville, in order to accommodate for all the growth in Kemptville.” He explained the county and the municipality are working jointly on grant applications from the federal and provincial government.

Inaugural OMSG Spring Festival The inaugural Oxford Mills Sisterhood of Guiding Spring Festival was held at Oxford-On-Rideau Public School on May 30. The sisterhood, which includes 68 kids and 15 leaders, organized the event to offset the cost of their annual one-week canoe camping trip to Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point, which is scheduled for the end of June. The event featured a garage and bake sale, as well as a BBQ. The sisterhood also sold tables to vendors for $20, to help raise funds. Valley Sanitation provided two porta-potties for the event.

Merrickville Blockhouse Museum set to celebrate 50th anniversary Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Half a century is quite a milestone. The Merrickville Blockhouse Museum is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary on Saturday, June 13. The Blockhouse Festival will kick off at 10 a.m., with the official opening of the museum at 1 p.m. and run until 4 p.m. The event will feature Fort La Presentation Children’s Games, Brockville Infantry Company 1866, Grenville Militia 1812, John Carruthers Heritage Arms, Lost Villages Museum, Redwing Bateaumen, Rosedale Singers, Brockville Museum, Watson’s Mill Museum, Heritage House Museum, Rug Hooking and Spinning, Arthur Child Heritage Museum, Bishops Mills Woman’s Institute, Sisters of Perpetual Needling Quilters and the Kemptville Pipe Band. “We will have a number of historical displays involving local museums,” said Michael Whittaker, vice president of the Merrickville and District Historical Society. He has been involved, on-and-off, with the MDHS for the past 30 years. “We will also have local reenactors, music and games for children.” The kids in attendance will have the opportunity to learn militia drills from

the historical reenactors. “The opening ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. with MP Gord Brown, MPP Steve Clark and Merrickville Mayor David Nash,” said Whittaker. The MDHS is still getting calls from local groups and organizations who want to take part in the festival. “There may be a few surprises,” said Whittaker. The Merrickville Blockhouse Museum opened in 1965. “Prior to that, it was used as a storage depot for the department of transportation or whomever operated it before Parks Canada, I believe,” said Whittaker. “People realized Merrickville had a very interesting history and the Blockhouse was part of that history, so they thought the building could be put to better use. They were able to convince the government to undertake the restoration of the building and then lease it to the town of Merrickville, who then gave over operations to the historical society.” The Blockhouse, which was built in 1832 as a ‘defensible building’ designed to serve as an alternate military supply route from Montreal to Kingston in the event of war, features a good cross section of artifacts, he said. “Some of the artifacts in the collec-

tion have come from further afield, but they are representative of the materials used in the village at the time,” said Whittaker. “Some of the artifacts were actually manufactured in the village – a product of early industry.” He explained not all the MDHS holdings are on display in the museum – some artifacts are shown under special circumstances. “Many of the artifacts are related to the canal,” said Whittaker. “On the upper floor of the Blockhouse, one-fifth of the space is dedicated to the lockmaster’s accommodations.” He said a recent addition to the museum is the Harry McLean room, which was established last year. “We have photos and small elements of his personal property on display,” said Whittaker. Currently the MDHS has just under 100 members and is looking Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND to build on that figure.

Enbridge presents NGFS with $5,000 grant for training equipment Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Fire fighting is an integral aspect of any community. Enbridge Gas Distribution is partnering with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council to help composite and volunteer fire services across Ontario purchase training equipment, including the North Grenville Fire Service. Members of the NGFS were presented with a check for $5,000, which will be used to pay for training reference material for new recruits, on June 5. “The North Grenville Fire Service is committed to keeping our firefighters safe by providing appropriate training to ensure they are prepared when responding to emergencies. With the help of Enbridge, we can maintain the level of training we provide in our service and continue offering “Service Excellence” to our community,” says Fire Chief Paul Hutt. The NGFS applied for the funding, which is specifically intended for smaller fire departments.

The funds, totalling $100,000 this year, are part of Project Assist, which was created by Enbridge four years ago. Since its inception, Project Assist has donated $400,000 to 80 municipal fire services in Ontario. This year, funds will be distributed to 20 fire departments across Ontario. “Enbridge is proud to support Ontario firefighters who share in our commitment to help keep our communities safe,” said David Marshall, Operations Manager at Enbridge Gas Distribution. Project Assist supplements existing training for Ontario fire departments in the communities where Enbridge operates. “The Municipality of North Grenville Fire Service has dedicated and professional volunteer firefighters. These firefighters answer the call 24/7 keeping our community safe every day. The funding from Enbridge’s Project Assist Program, in collaboration with the Fire Marshal’s Public Safety Council, will help maintain the skills of our amazing men and women that serve our community,” says Mayor David Gordon.

Residents mourn passing of community builder joe.morin@metroland.com

Every rural community goes through growing pains. It grows from a farming community dotted with farms and families connected by roads and purpose to a village then town – offering a variety of commercial endeavours, which in turn grow along to meet the need of an increasing population. This community growth involves a vision of a future imagined usually only by a few. North Grenville and Kemptville has had its own history of community and economic growth and people like the late Bob Perry anchored the decades-long journey that has resulted in what the area looks like today. Robert “Bob” Perry “Goldberg” passed away peacefully on May 28, 2015, at the Kemptville District Hospital. He was 73-year-old; much loved by his family and friends and to many of the newcomers to the area just another kindly fellow who they would see around town from time to time. What they could not know is how Bob Perry’s business sense, work ethic and vision shaped the neighbourhoods they appreciate today. Perry was very proud of his Kemptville roots growing up on the South River Road where he found the love of his life Shirley Ann Parke. The couple made a home on the same road and raised three sons along the Rideau River. At the age of 16 he was buying and selling cattle throughout the countryside. His knowledge of farms the families who worked them and the evolving marketplace created an opportunity for him to have a

Bob Perry lucrative business and develop a sense and vision for the area that he would carry with him his entire life. “He was one of the first guys I met here in 1979,” remembers Gilles Brisebois, owner and founder of the LA Group in Kemptville. Brisebois graduated from Kemptville College in 1980. He was born in Orleans and came out to North Grenville to go to school. He eventually became a business leader building homes and planning subdivisions in North Grenville. “Bob would find the farms that wanted to sell some of their land, I would develop the lots and Bob Bilby was our banker,” he said. “As soon as an opportunity would come up, Bob would let us know,” he said. The relationship between Bob Perry and Gilles Brisebois deepened and they became friends. “I always felt he was my mentor,” said Brisebois. In 1990, the trio collected land from 11 farms and created Oxford Landing. “That was the first,” said Brisebois. The partnership continued with plans

for eQuinelle which took about 16 years to arrange before homes could start to be built. They had a hand in the Kemptville Colonnade project which has dramatically changed the business landscape in Kemptville and now Brisebois is getting ready to continue his own vision with the development of the lots along County Road 43 across from RONA just west of the Kemptville Mall. Recently this past November Brisebois wanted to have a showroom and sales office for his Kemptville Landing project in old Town Kemptville. He bought the former Bank of Nova Scotia building with Perry’s help. “Bob was involved in putting that deal together,” said Brisebois. Even though Perry was getting sicker with his lung issues and need to travel with oxygen he still wanted to be involved in the business side of his community. “He would never walk away, He was always fair and honest with me about any business plan we had.” Gilles Brisebois is one of many Kemptville businessmen who worked alongside Perry. He was only 24-years-old when Perry first met him. He was honoured being a pallbearer at Perry’s funeral on June 1. More than 700 friends and family came to the wake to pay their respect and acknowledge the role he played in their own lives as well as in the growing North Grenville business community. “When we finally had power running to eQuinelle Bob and I went and turned on all the lights in the homes. We wanted to experience that first moment when all that dreaming becomes a reality for the first time,” said Brisebois.

Recent bear sightings in Kemptville Staff

A slew of recent black bear sightings have been reported to the Ministry of Natural Resources in Kemptville. Some of these sightings have been reported within the urban area of Kemptville. The issue, according to Scott Smithers, biologist with MNR, is the bears are current-

ly breeding. “It’s not that unusual, considering the time of year,” said Smithers. “You can pretty much mark it on your calendar.” He explained sows are kicking their year-and-a-half old cubs out of the den. “These cubs are going out on their own for the ﬁrst time to ﬁnd a new habitat,” said

Smithers. “Often, bear sightings are of these young cubs wandering around.” He said this year has been fairly typical, with regards to bear sightings. Residents should follow precautionary measures, such as keeping BBQ’s clean of food scraps, garbage inside and keep a close watch on small children playing outside.

ENERGY $AVING$! When it’s cool outside, open the windows and turn off the air.

KWBSC player development continues in Wildcat league

Rideau Hill Camp Fundraiser Rideau Hill Camp held a fundraising garage sale at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville on May 30. Donations were collected from members of the community and then sold to help pay for renovations to the recreation hall and sending children to camp. The camp, located on River Road, has been operational for the past 67 years. Pictured, Hunter and Keara Molson shopped for goodies at the sale.

Over the past four seasons player development has grown tremendously in our community under the continued growth of KWBSC.This past season, training started as early as February for those players interested in attending clinics offered by SUNY University in Canton NY. This year also marked the addition of a girls softball clinic at SUNY university which was a huge success for those that attended. In March and April, weekly sessions were held at North Grenville High School for both boys and girls as morning sessions were offered for softball while afternoon was used for baseball. Now that the season is in full swing practices and development continues. In softball, weekly practices are held at every level. In baseball, teams practice either as individual teams or through combined clinics offered by coaches at various age groups. There are also advanced clinics offered for those kids interested in potentially playing at a competitive level this season.

very fortunate to have kids participate in these activities. I continually see the improvement in our kids skill and knowledge of the game through their coach’s commitment to practice on a weekly basis.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CHANT, HOWARD-GUPPIE - In loving memory of our father, grandfather and great grandfather, who passed away three years ago on June 11, 2012. When I’m Gone When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile Just forget if you can that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I’ve had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember that I have fought some hard battles, and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget the grief for my going I would not have you sad for a day. But in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west. Stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best. Sadly missed but not forgotten by his family and friends

Ontario is taking steps towards giving municipalities the option of using ranked ballots in future municipal elections. As outlined in the 2014 mandate letter, the province is reviewing the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 to explore how ranked ballots could be implemented by municipalities across the province. Ranked ballots allow a voter to rank candidates in order of preference instead of voting for a single candidate. The option to use ranked ballots would give municipalities an alternative to the current municipal voting system. There are 444 municipalities in Ontario. “Municipalities should have more choices in how to run their elections, including the option of using ranked ballots to elect their mayors and councillors. We are looking for Ontarians’ views on how well municipal elections work and how they can be improved,” stated Ted McMeekin, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Municipal Elections Act is reviewed following each municipal election, and in addition to considering ranked ballots, the review will also assess whether the rules about electing municipal leaders are clear and simple and whether the Act reflects how modern campaigns and elections should be run. To that end, the review will evaluate the current effectiveness of rules about cam-

At the same time, a working group made up of municipal clerks, municipal representatives and ranked ballot advocates will provide the government with advice on how to make ranked ballots work best in Ontario. Allowing more choice in municipal elections is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up. The four-part plan includes investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic and innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan. “This is truly an historic moment for Ontario. Ranked ballots make local elections more fair, diverse, inclusive and friendly. I applaud the province’s efforts to give municipalities the option of using ranked ballots,” said Dave Meslin of Unlock Democracy. No public comments on this will be accepted until July 27 and no Canadian jurisdiction currently uses ranked ballots. Submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Monarchs ruled at Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ Spring Gathering A monarch of the insect variety ruled at the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 2015 Spring Gathering at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall on May 21. More than 130 people gathered for the sixth annual dinner, awards ceremony and presentation, Mysteries of the Monarch Butterfly. The Almonte Civitan was a flourish of butterflies, spring wildflowers and brilliant butterfly and spring colours of green, orange and yellow sprouting from sparkling glasses, thanks to the design inspiration of MVFN members Lucy and Neil Carleton. An interesting educational display on butterflies was created by Neil, as well. The large group mingled and met with friends as much interest and excitement was generated by the Burnt Lands Alvar silent auction fundraiser, organized by Bob and Cheryl Smith and the alvar campaign committee. Amongst the items: a basket loaded with everything needed to create a monarch butterfly garden with a young child! Thanks to the generosity of club members and local community gardeners, birders, artists, business owners, and of course successful bidders, the Burnt Lands Alvar fundraiser was a resounding success. Following a delicious dinner by Civitan volunteers, awards presentations began with MVFN past president Ken Allison as master of ceremonies. Friend and Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) co-board member, Mary Vandenhoff, presented an MVFN Champion for Nature award to Howard Clifford, MMLT president and co-steward of the ‘Cliffland’ nature preserve and Blueberry Mountain.

wintering grounds of the Monarch butterfly in Mexico. In an inspired presentation, Jean told the story of the Monarch, the only butterfly to migrate, with the eastern North American ones migrating to Mexico and back each year. Now they are on their way back – the ‘great grandbutterfly’ descendants of the ones

that left here last fall. Almost here now – out of Mexico they follow spring weather and healthy milkweeds through the southern United States (where native milkweeds grow in early spring but then die off), progressing northwards to our area. Once here, several generations last-

ing only a few weeks are born, but in August those born will live for nine months. During that time the same individuals seen here will fly to the mountains of Mexico using staging grounds such as Point Pelee to cross large lakes, live See MVFN page 50

the sun, magnetic fields, etc.? Originally a tropical species, it is thought that 10,000 years ago the species came north as glaciers melted and they now must migrate. Also a mystery: why one location in Mexico, El Rosaria, is the choice overwintering ground, chosen first over others. Between Monarchs and milkweeds, a delicate relationship exists. Eggs must be laid on only certain milkweed species; the only plants the caterpillar can eat. The adult chooses plants with enough, but not too much, toxic cardenolides (which is sequestered to make the Monarch toxic to prey); plants are evaluated carefully using receptors on the legs and antennae. Loss of wildflower habitat (nectar species for the adults) in the US where millions of hectares are planted with corn and soybean for biofuels, pesticides such as the neonicotinoids, loss of the critical milkweed hosts, threats to the integrity of overwintering grounds, and climate change, all threaten the Monarch. Efforts in the southern US to plant certain milkweed species are now known to backfire because unlike native milkweeds, some species do not die off and the population’s movement north and its subsequent migration (which keeps the population healthy and lowers diseases) may not take place. Protecting milkweed and preserving pesticidefree wildlife space here helps the butterfly. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

Festival recreates Perth mysteries and history all summer long

Photo courtesy of Jean-Denis Labelle

The popular Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour returns this summer, beginning June 24 with a new story featuring a Nancy Drew-inspired character, as well as a Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk starting July 10.

larities between the Perth of 1930 and that of 1830-40s: both were marked by economic desperation and poverty, towns dealing with the ill effects of alcohol consumption, and social structures in which women were often treated as second class citizens. Ann wants her story to be told, and Nora, motivated by reading the first in the Nancy Drew series, is ready to tackle the challenge. Ann guides Nora through the streets of Perth, describing life as she knew it in the early days of the military settlement. They run into a series of significant historic buildings as well as characters including Malcolm Cameron, founder of the Bathurst Courier (now the Perth Courier) and William and John Bell (the sons of the stern Presbyterian Minister William Bell, a Calvinist who played a major role in the early years of Perth). Also appearing will be Mary McMillan, a former servant girl, then the wife of Captain Alexander McMillan, Roderick Matheson’s best friend. The murky legal waters of another of Perth’s founding denizens, Daniel Daverne, lies at the heart of The Lonely Ghosts Walk, which will start each Friday at the Classic Theatre Festival (54 Beckwith Street East, at Harvey) and traverse through the historic Burying Ground, Court House, the Red House (Adamson’s Inn), the Morris store, the King’s Stores, and McMartin House. Along the way, a modern-day tour guide

and descendant of Daverne is suddenly transported back in time to Perth’s early years, when her ancestor was, he felt, unjustly disgraced. Daverne faced charges of embezzlement and abuse of government powers as he tried to administer the complicated and conflicting demands placed upon him as superintendent of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville and Carleton Counties. The elder Daverne seeks to clear his name so that he can find peace and curtail his ghostly wanderings. To do that, he feels he must confront scions of Perth’s early history, including Rev. William Bell, Roderick Matheson, and his superior officer, Colonel Francis Cockburn, among others. Fans of compelling theatrical recreations of local history will enjoy both events, told through the stories of redemption written and directed by Laurel Smith, with research by Susan Code McDougall, and starring Sean Jacklin (who played in last year’s walking tour), as well as Morgan MacDonald, Vivian Masswohl, Anna Stewart and Emily Richardson. Tickets to Perth through the Ages and The Lonely Ghosts Walk are available online at www.classictheatre.ca or by calling 1-877-283-1283. Ticket prices are $15 for adults or $12 for Classic Theatre Festival ticketholders. Children receive 50 per cent off. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival. R0013298300

This summer marks the 85th anniversary of the Nancy Drew series of fictional mystery novels. With that in mind, the Classic Theatre Festival’s annual theatrical walking tour, Perth through the Ages, kicks off a new story in the town core that features a character who is inspired by the teen detective’s spunky smarts and fearlessness. Building on the success of last year’s Perth through the Ages story, “The Preacher and the Leading Lady,” this year’s hour-long presentation, staged by the festival’s youth theatre training project, features upcoming talents performing Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. from June 24 to Aug. 30. In addition, the troupe will also perform a new family-friendly Friday night event, The Lonely Ghosts Walk, beginning July 10 at 8 p.m. The daytime tour, which begins at Matheson House (the Perth Museum, 11 Gore Street East), is set in 1930, when 19-year-old Nora Shaw (the NancyDrew like character) is packing up her family’s belongings as the house is set to be sold and become a tea room. She is distracted, however, by a haunting tune coming from the garden, where she eventually meets the ghost of Ann Glascott, a nursery maid who was once employed by the Honourable Roderick Matheson, leading to a scandal that rocked the town. Audiences will find remarkable simi-

Bernie’s two Chevrolets represent two milestones in the history of this make, long the best-selling car in America (remember Dinah Shore on TV singing “See the USA in your Chevrolet…”).

His 1949 Chevrolet represents the first year of the new generation of postwar cars from Chevrolet, and his ’53 hardtop represents the first year of the second generation of postwar cars from Chevrolet. The 1949 Chevrolet came from the factory with a curved 2-piece windshield (which Bernie later replaced with an Olds one-

piece windshield). Bernie’s ’53 Bel Air is the first year that Chevrolet came from the factory with a curved one-piece windshield. With the publication of this story, we are hoping to learn the identity of the Toronto doctor who bought Bernie’s ’53 Bel Air brand new. Stay tuned! I’m always looking for more stories.

Bernie LeBlanc was born in 1941 and lives today in St. Catharines, Ontario, with his wife Sheila. When Bernie was a teenager in New Brunswick, his first car was a 1941 Chev coupe purchased from his uncle for $50. The windshield wipers were worn out, and whenever Bernie drove somewhere on a rainy day, he “borrowed” the wipers from his dad’s 1951 Pontiac. Sometimes he forgot to put them back on, and when his dad turned on his wipers in the rain, Bernie was the first to hear about it! He now owns a beautiful 1949 Chevrolet with modern power train recently featured in this column. In November 2012, Bernie purchased another vintage Chevrolet, this time a 1953 Chev Bel Air 2-door hardtop in beautiful original condition with a blueand-ivory 2-tone finish. This car won Best of Show Chevrolet at the GM St. Catharines Power Train Show ‘n’ Shine in 2013. The car was purchased new by a doctor in Toronto and Bernie is keeping it all original except for two modifications that were available when the car rolled off the assembly line in Oshawa more than 60 years ago. The 3-speed column-shift manual transmission has now been replaced with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic, and the manual steering has been replaced with power steering, a new option for Chevrolet in 1953. The Bel Air name first appeared in 1950 on Chevrolet’s new 2-door hardtop introduced that year, a full year-and-a-half before Ford’s first hardtop. In 1953, the Bel Air name was extended to the top-of-the-line

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking long-term foster homes for female dogs in its breeding program. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind breeds golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers. At this time, they are currently seeking long-term foster homes for female breeding dogs, which are fully trained adult dogs, specifically selected from the guide dog program for breeding purposes, to produce future guide dogs. Suitable candidates should be home most of the day, have a secure yard, and access to transportation. This is a long-term commitment of up to eight years, in which you home a dog from the breeding program. Ownership of the dog is retained by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Food and veterinary expenses are provided. For this position, you must live within a one-hour drive of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind’s (CGDB) National Training Centre in Manotick. This commitment of up to eight years is like having a pet dog, with all food and veterinary expenses provided. However, there is one special element to the position. Occasionally, the dog you are fostering would be used for breeding purposes and the litter of pups is born in your home, starting an eight weeks of whelping the litter; the process when a female dog gives birth. Experience in whelping litters of puppies is an asset, but not necessary. When the dog gives birth, you need to be home the majority of the time throughout the eight-week commitment for whelping. In the first three weeks, you need to be there to supervise the pups for feedings every few hours. You have to keep the whelping box clean and wash the blankets, plus make sure their mom is doing well post-whelping, and monitor the pups’ weight twice a day to ensure that each pup is gaining weight. As the pups get older, they are gradually introduced to watered-down kibble. As they are weaned, they start to socialize with people and each other more and begin to go outside. The older they get, the more intense the work gets, as they need a lot more stimulation. You work on house training with them, and their naps become shorter as they get older. It is at that point that you start to see their little personalities develop. A professional staff member from CGDB is present throughout the whelping of the pups to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible. Following the birth, they visit your home on a weekly basis to assess the pups and their mom; to offer advice; and to answer any questions or concerns. If you have any issues between visits, you can call CGDB to have them addressed and someone can be reached 24 hours a day if needed for emergencies. When the pups are eight weeks old, they are removed from the volunteer’s home and enter into the guide dog training program. The breeding dog remains living in your home. For additional information or to complete an application, contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at (613) 6927777 or email info@guidedogs.ca.

Federal government intends to give Transport Canada more recall power In the wake of what may likely be the largest consumer product recall in history (Takata air-bags), the federal government has indicated its intention to introduce new legislation giving Transport Canada more power to order recalls and force automakers and others to pay for repairs. The exact details are not yet known, but industry watchers are expecting that Canadians will soon benefit from the same type of government regulation that the US has under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Currently in Canada, auto manufacturers operate under a voluntary system and as most vehicles sold in this country are the same as those offered in the US, recall action for the most part has been the same here as it is south of border. But the Takata air-bag recall (involving more than 1.5 million vehicles in Canada) involves a parts manufacturer that is independent of the several automakers that use their components. Under current Transport Canada rules, the government has no power to order a recall or to force a parts supplier to rectify a defect. But on either side of the border, recalls and their regulations are far from perfect. First, how long must a carmaker be liable for the performance of their products? Is it 10 years, 15, 20? What about mileage or maintenance? Is there a reasonable point where vehicles may no longer be expected to meet the regulations that existed when they were built? The Takata air-bag situation may be an exception to normal wear and tear rules. There is no easy way to inspect the air-bag inflators, nor are there any maintenance requirements for them. They sit idle behind your dash and horn pads until a frontal collision activates them; so they aren’t subject to any use. A recent Jeep recall is an example of recall rules gone wrong. NHSTA ordered a review of rear crash-worthiness of Jeep Grand Cherokees from the 1993-98 model years after several fuel tank fires were reported as results of rear-end collisions. It didn’t matter that the vehicles were designed and constructed, and verified to meet the guidelines of their day. Jeep’s parent company FCA cooperated with NHT-

SA’s review and came up with a unique fix that offered a real plus. The repair involved installing a frame-rail mounted trailer-hitch which improved the vehicles ability to absorb a rear-end impact while protecting the fuel tank. Vehicles that already had trailer hitches had to pass an inspection or get the hitch replaced free of charge. The problem was that most of the older vehicles that came in for the recall in Canada and the northern US (and very few did) had rear frame rails rusted so badly that the hitch couldn’t be properly secured. So these 20-plus-year-old SUVs went merrily on their way without a repair. This recall has gotten FCA into hot water with NHTSA over the extremely low completion rate; go figure! On the topic of government regulations, Ontario has passed legislation that will affect drivers and pedestrians alike. While no firm in-force date has been announced (only the term ‘within the next few months’) it may be time to start adjusting your driving habits to avoid the rush of traffic tickets that are bound to be issued. Distracted driving fines will increase to a maximum of $1,000 plus three demerit points with what are called ‘escalating sanctions’ for novice drivers (no explanation on what they might be). Drug impaired drivers will face the same harsh penalties as those who are convicted of drinking and driving. There will also be increased fines and demerit points for those that ‘door’ cyclists and a new requirement for a one meter distance between cars and cyclists when passing. The one that’s bound to be a ticketing officer’s field-day is the new pedestrian crossing rule. Drivers will be required to “wait until pedestrians have completely crossed the road before proceeding at school crossings and pedestrian crossovers” (MTO website). That means your wheels

can’t enter a pedestrian intersection pathway until those on foot have stepped onto the sidewalk on the other side. Consider how many times this rule is broken every day, especially at major intersections of four or more lanes. Start practicing your safe and patient driving habits today. This weekend is a field day of a much more positive type if you’re into classic, collector, and hotrod cars. On Saturday, June 13 the 10th annual Duck Festival Car Show happens in St. Isidore at the arena parking lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. On the same day and on Sunday, June 14, the Odessa Flea Market & Car Show hosted by the Upper Canada region of the ACCCC is on at the Odessa Fairgrounds.

McCarthy’s ‘Spy’ serves up plenty of action, fun MOVIE: Spy STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Miranda Hart, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and Jude Law DIRECTOR: Paul Feig RATING: I saw the commercials and the trailers for Spy so I thought I knew what I was seeing. I thought this was going to be a spoof, or a slapstick parody. I wasn’t even close. Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and Bradley Fine (Jude Law) are partners. Bradley is the spy in the ﬁeld. Susan is the brilliant analyst who monitors Bradley’s missions from her computer in the CIA’s basement. They are two of the best until Bradley gets himself killed at the hands of Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne). Agent Fine may be dead, but the mission goes on. Rayana is in possession of a portable nuclear weapon, and she’s looking for a buyer. The trouble is she knows all of the CIA’s operatives. The CIA needs someone she doesn’t know. Someone no one would suspect. Enter Susan. Susan has never been in the ﬁeld, but she volunteers for the mission for Fine. Rick Ford (Jason Statham) can’t believe the coffee lady is going on the mission when it should be him. He

My Take MARK HASKINS

quits, and goes rogue. Susan however is most definitely not the coffee lady. She may have sat behind a desk all of her career, but she graduated at the top of her class, and has skills no one suspects. With the help of her fellow analyst Nancy (Miranda Hart), Susan heads to Europe to pick up Rayna’s trail. Susan may have something to prove, but she hasn’t lost sight that there’s a nuclear weapon to find. Spy might be a whole new genre of film. Typically this film would have been Melissa McCarthy bumbling around like some sort of Agent Smart or Inspector Clouseau, but that’s not what it is at all. This is a high-octane action movie with Melissa McCarthy kicking butt, that also happens to be hysterically funny. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how Feig takes a serious action movie and makes it funny without losing the edge of an action film. It’s fantastic.

Jude Law plays the slick super spy, and does it flawlessly. Bobby Cannavale is a ruthless villain. Rose Byrne is as evil as they come playing a villain worthy of any Bond film. They play characters who wouldn’t be out of place in any action film, and they are funny. Then you have some brilliantly funny performances from Miranda Hart and Peter Serafinowicz who also kick butt. I know Jason Statham plays the same character in every film, but he does it really well. In Spy he’s that same action hero, but a little more over the top. It’s a subtle tweak, but it’s very funny. Then there’s the star herself Melissa McCarthy. She is awesome. That’s all there is to it. She is every inch the super-spy actionhero, and she’s hilarious. Spy is a great action film. It’s a great spy film. It’s a great comedy. You have to see it to believe it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Crime Stoppers provides tips on preventing cottage break-ins Cathie McOrmond

Break, enter and thefts are on the rise in cottage communities throughout Ontario and across the country. They are “crimes of opportunity” and thieves will look for easy targets. Lanark County Crime Stoppers has a number of suggestions that could make your summer home and property safer and less attractive to thieves. Crime Stoppers also suggests that you think about other ways to make your property less of a target. To begin with avoid leaving valuable equipment outside in plain view. Make sure expensive electronic items are not easily noticed through a window or take them home or store them in a protected facility if you intend to be away for a lengthy period. Always remove electronic items, firearms and alcohol when the cottage is closed for the winter. Small boats, canoes and personal water craft should not be left near the shore. Instead move them higher up on the property, beyond the line-of-sight of passing boats. Engrave your name or a specific personal identification number on your tools and equipment to help ward off thieves. Take ladders home or put them in storage. Outdoor furniture, picnic tables and benches should also be stored away so they can’t be used to enter the building through a window.

Using automatic timers on indoor cottage lights may be enough of a deterrent to keep potential thieves away if they are doing a drive-by in search of possible targets. Having your property well lit at night also makes it easier for neighbours to see if there is any suspicious activity. As with a house in the city, it is important to make sure the cottage looks like it is being maintained on a regular basis. Consider paying one of the neighbour’s children to cut the grass and remove fallen tree branches. If your property is a road-access cottage, one option to discourage thieves is to install a well-locked gate at the beginning of the driveway. Intruders usually want to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible. Having a gate at the entrance to the property might be enough to dissuade a potential break-in. Many older cabins and cottages have flimsy doors and simple windows that are easily forced open. Exterior doors should be fitted with solid dead bolts. Windows can be boarded up during the offseason. Sliding windows and doors should have a piece of wood placed in the track so they can’t easily be opened. The installation of an alarm system is another way to help protect your cottage from thieves. It is also important to properly document all of the items at the cottage. This includes taking photos of the inside of the cottage, keeping purchase receipts and recording all serial numbers. In the

event that you are a victim of a breakin and theft, having your papers in order will make it much easier for the insurance company should you decide to file a claim. Keep your cottage neighbours informed as to the times your cottage will be unoccupied. It is also a good idea to have someone stop by and check the property on a regular basis. It is also advisable to type out a note that says all items have been marked and that all alcohol and firearms have been removed from the property and place it in plain sight when you are away. If you do become a victim of a break, enter and theft you should call the police and avoid touching anything at the crime scene. Always report break-ins, no matter how minor as they could be part of a pattern. Your call and/or evidence found on your property could assist police in finding the culprits. If you are a witness or have information that could lead police to the individual(s) who have committed any crime telephone Lanark County Crime Stoppers hot-line anonymously at 1-800222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477). The hotline operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Information can be submitted anonymously online anytime at www.tipsubmit.com. For more, visit www.lccs.ca. Cathie McOrmond is the public coordinator with Lanark County Crime Stoppers.

Nissan Altima holds its own in market Auto Know

Brian turner

Nissan Altima? This mid-sized sedan (also available in a two-door coupe) holds its own in a very competitive market and is consistently among the top three or four in North American sales in its segment. In entry-level trim the Altima sedan starts at $23,798 and in a fully loaded 3.5 SL version hits the $34,438 mark. My 2.5 SL tester from Smiths Falls Nissan came in at $31,098 (all prices before destination fee, taxes, licensing costs, and any current incentives). For your money this Altima comes with everything you’d expect in this price range plus auto headlamps, fog lamps, 7” colour NAV system, rearview camera, hands-free phone system, automatic dual zone climate control, speed-sensitive wipers, eight-way power leather driver’s seat and four-way power passenger front seat, power sunroof, heated leather steering wheel and a BOSE audio system just to cover the highlights. The Altima is available with two engines; my tester’s 2.5 L 4-cylinder and an optional 3.5 L V-6. The only transmission choice is Nissan’s venerable continuously variable automatic. The 2.5 L puts out a respectable 182 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque and the transmission’s electronic shift-mapping keeps things lively and never provides any

reminder you’re driving a CVT. Nissan has put more CVT-equipped vehicles on the road than any other carmaker and this technology helps them to deliver very competitive fuel mileages. NRCan rates the 4-cylinder Altima at 8.7 L/100 km city and 6.2 L/100 km highway (32 and 46 mpg respectively). With its 68.1 L fuel tank, it should deliver a mixed driving range of over 840 km and cost about $70 to fill at $1.10/L. For a mainstream mid-sized car, the Altima delivers with a very roomy and quiet cabin with plenty of rear leg room and cargo space (436 L). Interior and exterior fit and finishes were far above the price point and the independent front suspension and multi-link rear setup make commuting and long distance touring a very comfortable affair. Even a substantial amount of collision mitigation technology is included in this budget conscious ride. The Altima’s optional tech package includes blind spot and lane departure warning along with a rearview camera that will alert the driver with audible tones and visible instrument panel warnings if a moving object is sensed. This camera is also adjustable; a segment exclusive feature. Like every new Nissan, the Altima is backed by a three-year/60,000km base warranty, a five-year/100,000km power-train plan and three years of roadside assistance. Whether you’re shopping for a personal vehicle or family hauler; if styling, performance, and exceptional value for a great price is on your list, then the Altima should be as well.

The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Nissan Altima I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Smiths Falls Nissan. I love watching car ads on TV. They often stray so far from the product they’re promoting you sometimes have to wait until the last few seconds to know what it is. I must confess I’ve found the most recent line of Nissan TV spots disappointing as I feel the theme of imaginary monster snowmen and walking trees a little intelligence insulting. But I still watch every one that comes on because the computer-generated images are great and I’m always amazed at how much of a story line can be wordlessly communicated with facial and body expressions. And you know what the advertising industry says; “the commercial that annoys us the worst, is the best.” All this talk about advertising is relevant because no carmaker wastes money on products that are selling well. That being said, when was the last time you saw a primetime TV spot for the
