Kemptville Armoury to be renamed Pte. Blake Williamson Memorial Hall Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Honouring a man who gave his life for freedom.

Council voted in favour of renaming the Kemptville Armoury the Pte. Blake Williamson Memorial Hall on July 18.

“Back in April, council received correspondence requesting that this building, commonly known as the armoury building or former fire hall, located at 25 Reuben Cres., across from the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 212), be renamed in honour of Private Williamson,” said Cahl Pominville. “There is a process, which council followed.”

He explained the armoury’s original purpose was a military drill hall during World War One. “Back in the ‘70s, it then became occupied by the fire department,” said Pominville. “And when the department moved to their new location in 2009, it was vacated and for the last several years, it has been leased to the Navy League for the training of their cadets.”

Pte. Williamson was born in 1983 and attended high school in

Kemptville.

“He played little league baseball here; worked at some of the local stores, as my daughter tells me,” said Pominville. “Upon graduation, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and he was killed in action in Afghanistan on his second tour in 2006.”

He explained the process to rename the corporate asset involved circulating the application to internal stakeholders for comment. Renaming the Armoury was discussed by council in closed session on June 6 and June 27.

“The only thing that needs to be done, in accordance with your policy, is to consult with external stakeholders in the community to level support or identify possible objections,” said Pominville.

“The first that came to mind was the Kemptville Legion, Branch 212. President Sharon Murray did attend one of the closed session meetings, on June 27.

And the members of the Legion fully support the renaming in memory of Pte. Blake Williamson and supplied correspondence to that effect.”

See Armoury page K2

Rocking out at Kemptville Live!

Blue Rodeo rocked the second annual Kemptville Live Music Festival on July 22. The festival, presented by The Finishing Touch Construction, was a major success again this year. Thousands of people braved the rain and lightning, which thankfully petered out before Blue Rodeo got on stage. The show itself had people from a multitude of generations on their feet, paying homage to legendary Canadian rock songs. Above the Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy savours the moment. Left, music legend Bruce Cockburn played Sunday afternoon. For more photos see pages K13 and K14.

Armed with a giant pair of golden scissors, owners Stephanie BrownMalenfant and Steve Malenfant opened the space, cutting a burlap and lace ribbon, which captured the style the pair wanted to create with the venue: rustic elegance with a flair of French country.

The project undertaken by Ian Jackson and his business Sonder Group Inc., which involved the conversion and restoration of a local barn, began just after Thanksgiving weekend last October. It has long been a dream for the Malenfants, ever since they purchased the centuries-old farm property on the 9th Line of Beckwith six and a half years ago. “…We had the goal of turning this gorgeous farm into Stonefields Event Destination,” noted Stephanie. “After Ashley Kulp/METROLAND hosting weddings and events in a big Stonefields Event Destination in Beckwith held the grand opening for its new rustic loft reception and white tent in this exact same location event space, which involved the conversion and restoration of a local barn, on July 20.

Health unit: We all play a role in reducing risk of West Nile Virus The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to inform our citizens that we have started our mosquito surveillance program once again. This program started the last week of June will be carried through until the end of September. Should you see one of our traps in your neighbourhood, please do not disturb it.

These traps are not mosquito control units, so they have no value to property owners, but they are important in identifying mosquitoes and providing a warning that disease causing mosquitoes are present in a given area.

We all play a role in preventing West Nile Virus (WNV) infections, and when we all do our part we will reduce the risk of this disease in our community.

• Each homeowner has the responsibility of removing standing water that provides breeding areas for mosquitoes on their property. Most mosquitoes do not

travel large distances and thus those breeding within your space are likely to bite you.

• The municipality is charged with the responsibility of ensuring proper drainage on municipally owned lands and public ditches. The roads departments have the knowledgeable staff and proper equipment to ensure this is achieved. Additionally it is a municipal responsibility to address complaints regarding standing water on private land within its jurisdiction, using applicable property standards bylaws.

Should positive mosquito pools be identified in a municipality, it is also the responsibility of council to take the necessary control actions as recommended by the medical officer of health.

• The health unit has the responsibility of assessing the risk for WNV within the three counties each year. This is accomplished by conducting mosquito

• Individuals have the responsibility to protect themselves from mosquito bites by avoiding areas with high mosquito populations, wearing light-coloured clothing, including long sleeves, pants and hat, to cover exposed skin and using a mosquito repellent containing the appropriate amount of DEET or Icaridin.

Leashed dogs a requirement, not an option says conservation authority Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) is reminding all pet owners to be responsible when visiting conservation areas with their dogs and ensure they are leashed at all times as per Ontario Regulation 120, R.R.O. 1990. Unfortunately, not everyone is obeying the rules.

“We are receiving an increasing number of complaints from the public including responsible pet owners about unleashed dogs on our trails,” said MVCA community relations

co-ordinator Shannon Gutoskie.

“MVCA is committed to ensuring the safety of all of our visitors, human and animal alike, and dogs off leash may pose a threat to others.”

The Mill of Kintail, Purdon and Morris Island Conservation Areas welcome leashed pets. However, the length of the leash must not exceed two metres or the animal will be considered at large. Invisible leashes are not permitted.

Owners are also reminded that cleaning up after their pet is a must.

MVCA’s regulations officer will be conducting random visits to the conservation areas in an effort to control the issue.

The cost of not abiding by the regulation? About $100.

“We want everyone who visits our conservation areas to have a good time and enjoy the wonderful features they offer. If everyone uses common sense and follows the site rules which are clearly posted, then this will be achieved,” said Gutoskie.

If anyone witnesses inappropriate

behaviour on conservation authority area property, they are encouraged to call the MVCA office at 613253-0006.

MVCA is one of 36 conservation authorities in Ontario. Formed in 1968, MVCA’s mandate is to manage the watershed’s resources in

partnership with our 11 member municipalities and the province of Ontario.

Last chance to see Neil Simon comedy London Suite

They say that word-of-mouth is the best advertising, and the word on the street this week is that you simply must see London Suite, the sparkling Neil Simon comedy that wraps up this weekend at the Studio Theatre.

London Suite is really four different stories that happen on different days in the same elegant suite of an English Hotel. Here, actors Jennifer Pfitzer and Jerry Logan star as a young couple visiting London to see the Wimbledon tennis matches. First they discover they’ve misplaced their tickets, then a slipped disk puts the disastrous finishing touches on their vacation. Neil Simon’s comedy London Suite, directed by David Parry, finishes this weekend with performances July 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m., and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on July 31.

COMMENTARY

Sports will win out

I

t’s always easier to by cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation.

And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil is certainly a challenging event.

The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security.

And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. That’s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition.

Despite all the bad news, the stories of the individuals who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters.

Athletes from here in Lanark County and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio, including Perth’s Amy Millar, daughter of Canadian showjumping legend, Ian Millar, who will be participating in equestrian – jumping competitions. Smiths Falls golf phenom Brooke Henderson will be on the links as well.

And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us.

The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canada’s flag bearer at the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use.

MacLennan’s efforts and emotions – along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians – will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years.

Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics the way they want to.

The Olympics, throughout history, have featured everything from a showcase for a blossoming Nazi Germany in 1936 to a glimpse of modern terrorism tactics in the Munich massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics.

The human spirit has been forced to wear one worrying set of clothes after another, but through all of the costume changes the individual still manages to wear their own colours when their time to shine arrives.

Emerson decides to test out Mary’s dislike for mud pout My dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead.

My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo, and would have

a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.”

My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big black iron fry pan, and vision the fish, which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further.

The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when once again,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery.

From page 8

They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen. I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey.

And then my feet touched something...wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was

yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar.

Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey

to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout.

I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

Tipping in restaurants, service charges are an eternal issue News that a Vancouverbased restaurant chain has decided to introduce a socalled “hospitality charge” at its newest location in downtown Calgary, while at the same time eliminating customer tips, got a lot of publicity recently.

Some of the news stories made it seem like this is something brand new. In fact this issue migrates and has done so for years. Every now and then it raises its head somewhere, creating a flap among diners and bar patrons and finding its way into the media.

It’s the eternal issue in the hospitality industry where servers in particular often work for low wages but hope to augment their rather meagre income with tips. People who work in the industry get to know which restaurants and bars attract the biggest tippers and, not surprisingly, the competition for jobs in those premises is keen.

My own daughter worked as a server and later as a bartender during her college days and for varying periods afterward to supplement the income from her vocation.

Heather is a hard worker and she sometimes worked two or three part-time jobs in the hospitality trade. Besides Ottawa, the fourth largest metropolitan area in Canada, she has also lived and worked in our three largest cities Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Based on her experience I can quote chapter and verse about the issue of tipping, hospitality and service charges – whatever you want to call it. For wait staff in particular, tips are considered vital if they are going to continue to do what is, most often, thankless work.

Before I go any farther however, just in case you missed it I will give you a little detail about the Calgary situation which triggered this column.

The west coast restaurant chain Earls opened its 67th location in Calgary on July 8, right during the annual Stampede. Appropriately and simply it is called “Earls.67.”

Customers quickly discovered that wait staff do not expect tips. Instead there’s a 16 per cent surcharge added to every bill. Earls’ management calls it “a pilot project” and says if it proves popular with staff and customers it could be introduced at other

locations.

A company spokesman told the media their research tells them there will be no tipping in Canada in five to seven years. The firm claims a no tipping trend is currently growing in New York City, Europe and Australia.

Frankly I seriously doubt that no tipping is coming here to stay. My opinion isn’t due to my daughter’s experience.

It’s based on personal experience!

My wife Kathleen and I are long-time travelers and we have spent more than 20 years criss-crossing the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and Ireland, not to mention North America.

Before heading to a new destination we always do some research and that includes tipping practices, something that’s very important if you are going to be staying in hotels and eating in restaurants or pubs for days on end.

Practices vary In terms of tipping, practices vary from country to country and from city to city.

In England, for example, bartenders and waiters don’t generally expect tips. Mind you that varies depending on the quality and reputation of the restaurant. Of course quality doesn’t necessarily go with reputation!

One afternoon, during our first independent visit to London in the 1990s, Kathy and I felt the need to escape the scorching heat. Contrary to what you might read or hear London can be very warm indeed in summertime.

For anyone who hasn’t visited England, the protocol in most pubs is to go to the bar, order your drinks and/or food and pay for it right up front.

Beer, wine and liquor is dispensed immediately. Tables are generally numbered and staff members deliver food orders to the appropriate table. We love it because it’s so straightforward. No interminable waits for staff to deliver the bad news after you’ve eaten.

Anyway, even as a novice in

an English pub I knew I had to order my pint and Kathy’s wine at the bar. The bartender was a very pleasant young chap and we chatted about the usual subjects, the hot weather, where we were from and so on.

He promptly served up the beverages and I produced a £10 note to pay him. Today that amount wouldn’t cover the drinks I dare say.

I automatically pushed a 50p (pence) coin in his direction. He starred at it oddly and pushed it straight back.

I wondered if I had insulted him with a small gratuity.

“Thank you sir, but there is no tipping here,” he stated.

We soon discovered that “here” meant all of England.

Bartenders and restaurant staff don’t expect tips and the English generally don’t offer them either. Considering the cost of everything over there I can understand why!

Not that we adopted the local custom with respect to gratuities however. I have given tips in restaurants and pubs many times over the years and staff gladly took the money.

When we are with our Yorkshire friends he won’t allow me to tip. “Put the money back in your pocket Jeff. We don’t tip for bar service here,” Martin has told me, and quite sternly too.

Despite those lessons my tendency is still to tip for good service. After all, that’s what we do here.

In Canada or the US we always tip wait staff although admittedly our gratuities are based on the quality of service. If the service is bad or the staff member is rude, no tip! I think that is more than fair actually.

We never blame waitresses or waiters if food quality is poor. It’s not their fault. Admittedly wait staff always hear about bad food. That’s just an unfortunate fact of life in their line of work.

I’ve now tipped my hand on automatic gratuities, hospitality or service charges.

Call it what you like. But I don’t think the majority of people want to see an automatic surcharge on their bill.

Sure some people in this country are cheap and refuse to tip period. As for me – and I hope this applies to most restaurant and bar patrons –

From page 10

I almost always tip and the rare exceptions are due to bad service.

As for the current Calgary restaurant plan, I think it is all part of an ongoing cycle and it has many incarnations.

Automatic gratuity Let me take you back four years, to a tempest in a teapot that developed in Toronto in January 2012.

At that time local newspapers reported that two new restaurants were adding an automatic 20 per cent gratuity to their bills, whether you liked the service or not.

The owners explained it very differently however.

They said the 20 per cent was only included on bills paid via handheld electronic terminals. They said it was not automatic, but optional.

“It isn’t compulsory,” one restauranteur told the National Post. “It’s an option and it is up to diners whether they OK that amount while completing the transaction.”

That practice spread and it continues at certain restaurants in Canada, the US and elsewhere to this day.

Still, in my experience people don’t like to be faced with an automatic surcharge. Instead they want to make a positive or negative statement about the restaurant and the service. The best way to do that is by tipping accordingly. In worst case scenarios some people refuse to pay for bad meals. I think that in extreme cases that is justified.

Stories on the automatic tip situation in Toronto in 2012 did note that at that

time 15 per cent was the commonly accepted, but obviously unwritten, gratuity standard in Canada’s biggest city. I still feel that’s a fair tip today actually.

But in Calgary for example, in 2012, diners were generally tipping 18-20 per cent and even as high as 25 per cent. Calgary and Alberta was flush in those days. I wonder what the standard is now after the fall on the oil patch?

From all accounts Australian restaurants tend to pay servers well. Canada and Europe is somewhere in the middle. In the US hourly wages for wait staff can be truly terrible as we have discovered on our travels. Therefore American waitresses and waiters are far more dependent on gratuities.

That’s why I don’t believe tipping is falling by the wayside in New York City. Serving staff in the ‘Big Apple’ have traditionally been poorly compensated. My information is that they earn less than half the hourly rate paid to wait staff in Toronto.

I believe tipping will continue, but in many different ways. The Calgary restaurant is just one venue in a city with hundreds upon hundreds of dining choices. People decide where they will eat for a variety of reasons. Tipping is just one of the considerations.

Tipping goes far beyond restaurants and bars of course. Because we are in the middle of the summer travel season I intend to explore this subject further in my column next week.

If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

Stay safe on the waterways this long weekend Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching year three of an initiative called “Operation Dry Water.” Its goal is to discourage this dangerous practice.

With the summer boating season in high gear, the Aug. 1 long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking

motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased.

“The CSBC, its partners and sponsors would like, through this and our other initiatives, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” stated John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it.”

Federal statutes dictate that,

whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold.

This means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges.

But that’s not all; it can get worse.

Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amend-

ed the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-thespot automobile drivers’ license suspension. Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied.

During the Aug. 1 long weekend, a number of police agencies will be offering the media the chance to ride along while they conduct on-water vessel safety checks.

LOMBARDY FAIR July 29th to August 1, 2016

Lombardy Fair is 150th celebration of agriculture and heritage Laurie Weir ljweir@metroland.com

The 150th anniversary of the Lombardy Fair is shaping up to be the biggest and best one yet, as it’s set to take off Friday, July 29 and run through Civic holiday Monday, Aug. 3.

This agricultural fair has deep roots in the community, including that of the board president Melanie Chisholm.

“I was three when I showed my first calf here,” said the local dairy farmer with three young daughters. “I would get my $5 for showing the calf then go spend it at the fair.”

Now, Chisholm said she enjoys being able to take a deep breath after all the planning and organizing, and just enjoy the fair. She is quick to give credit to the fair board and many volunteers who help pull it all together for the community.

This year’s 150th is being recognized with a special bronze plaque, installed at the front of the agriculture hall. This is thanks to the efforts of Kincaid and Loney Monuments Ltd., in Smiths Falls.

“They wanted to do something for us and this is a wonderful way to recognize the fair’s 150th anniversary,” Chisholm said.

The plaque was installed on Monday, July 18 – just in time for the fair.

Speaking of sponsorship, the fair would be as fun or successful as it is without the ongoing support of the sponsors.

“We couldn’t do some of these events without their financial support,” Chisholm said.

For Kristine Fair of Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC

Cadillac Ltd., Smiths Falls, she’s been financially boosting the event for the past five years.

“Who doesn’t love a good fair,” she said, adding that she attended for the first time with her niece back in 1991.

Fair’s donation helps support the horse shows.

For Dan Andress of Andress Your Independent Grocer, his donation helps support Saturday night’s entertainment, Doubleback. This band was so popular at the agricultural society’s barn dance that they brought them back to the fair, Chisholm said.

Andress, who is from Lombardy, said he loves the old fashioned family values of the event.

“It brings people together, and it’s always a good time. The traditions have been carried on through generations.”

Smiths Falls Hyundai owner, Steve LeBlanc, also a long-time supporter, said he enjoys this “great community event, and it brings families out for a good time.”

LeBlanc, who comes from a harness racing family, living in Rideau Ferry, said he’s been supporting the fair for 15 years.

His donation will help pay for the tractor pulls – both the antique and lawn tractor sorts.

Dr. Michael MacPhee and Associates is another supporter behind the scenes. Dr. MacPhee’s sponsorship helps pay for the costs associated with the baby show. With four young children, he said he will be sure and pop into the fair this year.

“We want to keep the kids busy, so I’m sure we’ll go check out the fair this year,” he said.

And for Scott Fleming of

Rideau Home Hardware and Building Centre, his sponsorship will support Saturday entertainment in the park. He too has a history of attending the fair.

“Grandma (May Wright) was on the fair board, and my dad and uncle were also involved,” he said.

Fleming said he enjoys the fair as it’s a “good community event… and a strong one for going 150 years.”

In front of the camera is Hugh Colton of Town and Country TV. “I wouldn’t be able to do these live hits without the support of my boss, Brad Kyle at the dealership,” said Colton. “He supports these events and the community driven weekend Wrangler.”

Town and Country Chrysler has also been one of the long time supporters of this agricultural fair.

The fair opens Friday, July 29 as the gates open at 3 p.m.

Friday features the Mini King and Queen contest and the Demolition Deby.

Saturday’s opening ceremonies will be held on the main stage at 7 p.m. followed by the band Doubleback. Throughout the weekend, there are so many things to do you won’t have time to be bored.

If you’re looking to get into the fun competition with the home crafts, it’s not too late to get making your crafts. All you need to know is listed on the user friendly website.

Go to www.lombardyfair. ca for a list of entry deadlines, musical entertainment, kids’ activities, agricultural shows, midway rides, and more.

LAWS on the road to financial recovery d n e k e e W This Week’s Pets The 2015/2016 fiscal year had a steady financial improvement starting November 2015. We still need to be vigilant with cost cutting measures but the future is looking brighter. We really need more volunteers to help with the cats and kittens and for those who cannot make it to the shelter, we need help with fundraising events.

We are running a bit short on storage space at the shelter, so for the time being, we have sufficient dog treats and do not have room to store any more bleach. What we do really, really need is Friskies Pate cat food. The cats are not fond of the Friskies Chunks with Gravy and prefer the Pate. Go figure.

This week’s featured pets Monty Hi, my name is Monty. I am a six-month-old beagle/ spaniel cross. My previous family had to give me up as they were no longer able to care for me. I am a happy, very handsome, bundle of energy. I love to travel in the car and I get excited for the first 5-10 minutes, then I calm right down and enjoy the ride. I am quite proud of myself because I am still very much a puppy, but I have learned to sit on command, come when I am called, and if told to “stop” doing something – I stop right away. I may start again, so I guess I need some calm, positive reinforcement.

I will need continued training for sure but I know I have so much potential. I have met a few cats and am intrigued with them. I would like to get to know them better but I get so excited. I would love to become part of an active family. A fenced yard, where we could play so I could drain some of this energy, would be a dream come true. I learn better after a good play session. Is there anyone out there who loves to jog and play fetch? I would love to meet you. Please call LAWS

Summer storytelling at nature reserve with children’s author Jan Andrews Aug. 7 Summertime is never better than seen through the eyes of children – or a children’s author perhaps. It takes a unique talent to really fire the imaginations of young people with a good story. So, just imagine what it would be like to listen to a great storyteller and nature lover speak about the experiences of summer, all outside in a beautiful wilderness setting.

On Sunday, Aug. 7, local children’s author Jan Andrews will be at the High Lonesome Nature Reserve to read from her popular book, The Twelve Days of Summer. This whimsical and beautifully illustrated story is based on the popular Christmas carol and guides the listener through the life cycle of plants and animals commonly seen in the summer in this area. It’s aimed at children from pre-school to grade 2, but appeals to the child in all of us.

If ever there was a book that grew out of our landscape it is this one. In fact, that song sparrow nest that appears at the beginning, those three ruffed grouse that strut their stuff, the seven moles a-digging, the ten crows a-cawing, along with all the other inhabitants of the tale’s unfolding, are inhabitants of Jan’s own backyard.

Jan lives down the end of a road on a Mississippi Mills lake and loves it. She spends her working days by a window looking out over the water. In that lovely venue she recently created the young adult novel, The Silent Summer of Kyle McGinley, and a folktale collection, When Apples Grew Noses and White Horses Flew.

Tales of Ti-Jean, was the winner of the Ontario Library Association’s Forest of Reading Silver Birch Award. She’s also known for such classics as Very Last First Time, The Auction and Stories at the Door.

Jan delights in meeting young readers and sharing her books with them; letting them into the secrets of the stories’ creation, adding fascinating details to enhance the words on the page. She also happens to be one of Canada’s bestloved storytellers.

Oswego, NY team becomes first US club to capture Gil Read tournament Jeff Maguire

Caleb Keeshig capped an MVP performance, hurling a shutout in the championship game as CPI Classics from Oswego, New York won the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp on Sunday.

Oswego edged Micksburg Twins 1-0 in the final as Keeshig outdueled veteran Twins’ pitcher Joran Graham. In the process CPI Classics (they are named for their sponsor Cutro Professional Inspections) became the first team from the United States to win the nineyear-old Gil Read competition.

Catcher Greg Casbeer drove in the game’s only run with a double in the second inning.

Past winners of the tournament include six teams from Ontario and two from Quebec. The fastball showdown is staged at Carp Fairgrounds in rural west Ottawa each July.

CPI Classics are currently

ranked 21st by the International Softball Congress (ISC).

They, along with No. 18 ranked Kingston Axemen, were considered the pre-competition favourites.

The final victory was the Oswego team’s second, one run triumph of the weekend versus Micksburg. They also defeated Twins, who play in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) 2-1 in round-robin action Saturday. That win too was behind the strong pitching of Keeshig.

Last July, in their first appearance at the Gil Read, the New York State side lost 8-4 in the semi-finals to eventual tournament winner Kanata Storm.

This year, behind the power pitching of Keeshig and an offence that rang up 29 runs in six games, they came away with the trophy and $1,800 in prize money.

Keeshig went the distance on the hill in the semi-final and final, ringing up a remarkable

14 innings of work in back-toback contests. He was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Keeshig is the second winner of the Joel Langford Memorial Trophy.

In their opening playoff contest Sunday CPI defeated the Quebec Juniors 6-2 while in the other semi-final it was Micksburg hammering Kingston 9-0 with Graham earning the pitching win in the onesided tilt. Jordan MacDonald absorbed the loss on the hill for Axemen.

Earlier in the quarter-finals Quebec Juniors doubled local favourites, West Carleton Electric, by an 8-4 count. MarcAndre Villeneuve was the winning pitcher with veteran hurler Brad Porter taking the loss in relief of starter Andy Barber.

The other quarter-final match-up saw Kingston pound Ottawa Valley A’s from GOFL 10-3. Jamie Thompson was the winning pitcher in that one while Trevor Lahey absorbed

the loss.

Undefeated record Oswego was undefeated in the round-robin portion of the nine-team competition with a 3-0-1 mark. Their final preliminary game was a 5-5 tie with

Napanee Intermediates from the other side of Lake Ontario on Sunday morning. Jeffrey Mayer of Oswego and Napanee’s Ian Wallwork were the hurlers of record in that fixture.

CPI was a perfect 3-0 in round-robin action Saturday.

of ISC heavyweights. Workhorse pitcher Keeshig earned two wins and a save in Saturday action.

Oswego topped the round-robin standings with their undefeated record. Micksburg and Kingston tied for second with 3-1 marks. West Carleton was the fourth playoff seed with a solid 2-1-1 record while Quebec Juniors and Ottawa Valley A’s were both an even 2-2.

The three teams who failed to qualify for the playoffs were Napanee at 1-2-1, Ottawa Broker4 Tickets 0-3-1 and northern Quebec entry Chisasibi Comets who finished 0-4.

Hometown favourites West Carleton of GOFL opened the competition Friday night with a 4-1 victory over league rival Ottawa Valley A’s.

Steve Cavanagh earned the pitching win.

In Saturday action Electric was shocked 8-3 by eventual tournament winner Oswego before bouncing back to blank Chisasibi 7-0 with Porter the winning hurler. Saturday night’s game against Valley A’s ended in a 6-6 draw.

Barber and Porter were the pitchers of record for West Carleton.

Hands down winners of the “longest drive to the tournament award” goes to the Chisasibi Comets, from the Cree community of the same name in northern Quebec. Comets had to drive 18 hours from their village, located on the La Grande River

near the eastern shore of James Bay, just to reach Carp. The 18 hours is straight driving time and doesn’t include breaks.

Their on-field results were disappointing as Chisasibi came out on the wrong end of four one-sided contests.

They lost to Micksburg Twins Friday night and the Quebec Juniors, West Carleton Electric and Ottawa Valley A’s (in that order) on Saturday. Comets did manage one run against the A’s after being blanked in their three previous outings. The four defeats knocked them out of the competition.

“Chisasibi came here with no illusions of winning,” says tournament organizer Chris Read. “They just

wanted to compete and they were great entrants. They’re good guys and they participated fully in the weekend.”

Read, who along with his cousin Al Read, heads the 10-member organizing committee said Monday the event was once again a financial success.

“We haven’t tallied it all up yet of course. But we made more money this year in every category than we did last year. That much I do know!”

Chris says good weather was a key factor in the success of the ninth annual competition.

“We had a one hour delay Friday night because of lightning. Other than that it was smooth sailing

Great final He was pleased with the level of competition and especially the final contest.

“It was great to have a close championship game. It was very entertaining, with only a few hits and one run scored. So after a couple of lop-sided results it was great to have such a competitive final,” Chris observed. “Caleb (Keeshig) and Joran (Graham) were both lights out.”

He also had words of praise for Adam Brown and Cory Morrison, the committee members who recruited teams and organized the actual competition.

All proceeds from the tournament go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The organization assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part.

Since the tournament moved to Carp six years ago the organizing committee has been able to increase the amount of proceeds donated to the foundation in each successive year.

The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time men’s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007.

As mentioned this year’s MVP award for the tournament was presented in memory of Joel Langford.

He was a highly skilled Ottawa fast-

ball player, who died unexpectedly I June of 2015 at the tender age of 26.

The first ever Gil Read memorial tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008. The second event was held at the same venue the following year. Rising costs prompted organizers to seek another location and in 2010 they settled on the expansive Carp Fairgrounds site in the quaint village in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. The venture has been held there ever since!

As mentioned CPI pocketed $1,800 while the runners-up Micksburg took home $700. The losing semi-finalists, Quebec Juniors and Kingston, each received $250.

The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championship in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games.

“Next year is the 10th (annual) so we will be holding some special activities in relation to that,” Chris stated.

Anyone interested in the Gil Read tournament or those wishing to make a donation to this very worthwhile cause can reach Chris by telephone at 613-292-7379 or contact him by email at: chris@canadiandad.com.

A lot of money is spent on the energy needs of our lifestyles, but did you know that Ontarians spend the majority of their energy dollars controlling the temperature of their home?

In the summer, this means keeping it cool, so before cranking up the air conditioning, try a few alternatives first.

Even if you’re using air conditioning, you’ll use less and that will lower your electricity use.

Here are some helpful guidelines from Hydro One: • Draw the curtains on heat – In the morning, open windows to let cool air in. Then close them, and draw your blinds or drapes during the day. Your home will retain much of the cool morning air.

• Let fans move the air – Ceiling fans help cool down your home.

They don’t use much electricity and can help reduce the need for air conditioning. Make sure ceiling fans blow air downwards in summer.

• Cool down your menus too – One of the easiest things you can do to conserve energy and keep your house cool is to avoid using appliances that heat up the home.

In the summer, use the barbecue and include more cold foods and salads in your menu.

Try not to use major appliances in the middle of the day.

• The real problem may be humidity – Humid homes feel hotter. Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas to expel the air directly outside (not into walls or attics).

Avoid air-drying clothes in the home and don’t store firewood inside.

• Check around the house – Examine the caulking and weather stripping around your windows and doors. People tend to think this is a winter preparation, but it is just as useful in the summer to ensure that you keep the cool air in.

If you have a window air conditioning unit, clean or replace the filter monthly. Dirty filters may restrict air flow and reduce efficiency.

• Turn it off – Lights, appliances and home electronics use a lot of power and give off heat.

During the summer, it’s more important than ever to turn them off when you aren’t using them.

You’ll save energy twice.

Latest Star Trek film goes ‘beyond’ and then some MOVIE: Star Trek Beyond STARRING: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Sofia Boutella and Idris Elba DIRECTOR: Justin Lin RATING: PG The first thing I have to say is that Star Trek Beyond has the best use of The Beastie Boys’ Sabotage ever. Ever. The second thing is Simon Pegg writes a great Star Trek movie.

At the edge of known space the U.S.S. Enterprise docks at Federation star base Yorktown to resupply. While there an alien arrives seeking help for her crew who crashed on a nearby planet. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) readies his crew for a rescue mission.

The Enterprise heads into uncharted territory only to be lured into a trap. A swarm of alien craft overwhelm The Enterprise, and tear her apart. The crew abandon ship, but only a handful make it to the planet without being captured.

Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) eventually find each other with the help of another stranded alien named

My Take

MARK HASKINS

Jaylah (Sofia Boutella). Jaylah agrees to help them, and offers her ‘house’ which just happens to be an old Federation ship named The Franklin. Meanwhile Sulu (John Cho), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and the rest of the crew are being held captive

by Krall (Idris Elba).

While Scotty attempts to get the Franklin to fly Kirk and the rest mount a rescue mission. It won’t be enough to just free the crew.

Krall has plans that go beyond attacking one ship. He has eyes on destroying the Federation starting with Yorktown.

There’s nothing like being in the movie theatre and being completely blown away. To be carried away on the wild ride is what movie magic is all about.

Star Trek Beyond is exactly that. The sights and sounds are so incredibly real it’s impossible to imagine special effects getting any better than this. The plot is a high-stakes adventure

that will have you gripping your armrest. Yet the dramatic is delicately balanced with inspired moments of humour. It is fast-paced action that never loses sight of the characters and what motivates them. It is everything that was and is great about Star Trek.

The cast is riveting to watch and have such a natural chemistry with each other. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Anton Yelchin have taken these icons, and managed to remain true to what the original actors did while making these characters their own, and making them fresh and new.

New to the crew is Sofia Boutella. She offers the perfect combination of physical prowess and emotional empathy.

On the other side Idris Elba has this strength of presence, and a sense of inevitability that makes Krall an implacable force. It’s the kind of performance that sends shivers down your spine.

I’m often asked if a movie is worth seeing in the theatre.

Star Trek Beyond is the reason movie theatres exist.

David Goode becomes official Cruickshank Construction employee Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

It’s official.

David Goode is on the payroll.

Back in May, this paper ran an article about David and an unlikely friendship he developed with a Cruickshank Construction employee named Ray Lariviere.

Every Friday afternoon, Lariviere and his cohort, Wayne Lee, pick David up in their recycling truck and take him on their route in Kemptville.

David, who is intellectually disabled, loves anything with wheels and waits hours for his friends to arrive each week.

After the article was printed, word came down from the Cruickshank CFO that David would be put on the payroll and made an official employee.

Reid McIntyre, operation manager at Cruickshank, passed along the good news to David and his mother Tina Goode.

“For me, I’m over the moon,” said Goode. “I never expected anything like this – he’s just so happy to be able to go out with them in the truck.”

As of July 20, David is now an employee of Cruickshank, getting paid $18 an hour for a couple hours each week.

“To actually have him recognized as staff is amazing,” she said. “And he recognizes the responsibility too. When he’s in the truck, he works for Cruickshank and knows you have to

be respectful.” David was issued a fluorescent Cruickshank vest, which he never takes off, a construction hat and an employee handbook.

“This is a great opportunity for him to meet new people and try new things,” said Goode, who explained after meeting up with McIntyre at a community barbecue, David was offered a ride in the rock crusher at the Cruickshank yard.

“It was very cool,” said David. When asked what he thought of the yard, he replied simply “awesome.”

“It (the pit) was huge,” said David.

“Now he’s expanding his friendships at Cruickshank,” said Goode. “People meet him and say this kid is cool, I want to hang out with him sometime.” When asked what he was going to do with all the money he would be raking in, David explained he would be saving up to buy a motor for his threewheel bicycle.

Goode explained David has built-in radar for Lariviere and Lee now. “Anywhere we go, he sees them and we have to stop and say hi,” said Goode.

David pointed to a picture of a backhoe on the Cruickshank employee manual and said “that’s going to be me right there,” referring to the cab.

“He waits all week,” said Goode. “Every day he asks me how many more sleeps mom?

When do I get to go in the David Goode is now an official Cruickshank Construction employee. truck?”

Kemptville Live Winners

John and Elizabeth Suuronen of Ottawa were the proud recipients of two Kemptville Live VIP Weekend Passes courtesy of the merchants of Downtown Kemptville. The Suuronens cast their ballot at Salamanders Restaurant, one of the participating merchants in the BIA’s Festival Fans program who offer specials when paid tickets to the Festival are presented. The other merchants are Geronimo Coffee House, SuGold Jewellers, Grahame’s Bakery, Butler’s Victorian Pantry, Kemptville Home Hardware, Mr. Mozzarella, Twice the Fun Games, CIBC - Kemptville,To Be Continued and Workshop Dance Studio. Making the presentation from left to right are John Barclay, Executive Director, Old Town Kemptville BIA: John and Elizabeth Suuronen, Lianne Tucker, Salamanders Restaurant and Councillor Donovan Arnaud, member of the Board of Management, Old Town Kemptville BIA.

Staff recommended that a special event be held to recognize the renaming of the Armoury.

“On July 8, a letter was sent to Heather Anderson-Benedict, mother of Pte. Blake Williamson, to request permission that the Armoury building be named in her son’s honour,” said Pominville. “She was very supportive of this initiative and thought it was great because of its closeness to the Legion and to the park (Riverside) where Blake had grown up and it’s still being used in a military capacity. She requested it be named the Pte. Blake Williamson Memorial Hall.”

“I taught Blake and I also taught his siblings and they were all great young people,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “Blake’s sacrifice and

Pte. Blake Williamson service brings honour to his country, family and community. My colleagues can tell you that I, in the initial discussions, struggled with singling out one member of the Canadian Forces to name a landmark building for an individual. I reflected on all the names on our Cenotaph, that includes Blake, and how the families might feel

of those individuals who are named their equally, who lost their lives to protect our freedom, and how they would feel about one individual being distinguished.”

“I researched, searched for individual buildings, that were named for a single soldier, and there are very few – almost none – in Canada,” she continued.

“We requested a meeting with the Royal Canadian Legion and a representative came and noted their support and I expressed my concerns.

During that discussion, it was recognized that the loss of Blake has engaged a new interest and respect for military and new members, or associates, who frequent our Legion and who speak to knowing Blake and his family.

It was that simple statement that changed my thinking and I fully support renaming the building in honour of Blake.”

Gold medallist MacLennan named Canada’s flag bearer Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Canada’s only golden girl at the London Olympics in 2012 will proudly carry the flag for Team Canada when the Games start in Rio next month.

Rosie MacLennan, who won gold in the trampoline competition as part of Canada's gymnastics team in 2012, called it a dream come true to lead the parade of Canadian athletes into Maracana Stadium in Brazil on Aug. 5.

“I’m honoured to represent the athletes,” MacLennan said.

“This is beyond my wildest dreams.”

The announcement was made on the lawn of Parliament Hill on July 21.

At the announcement MacLennan was joined by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and other dignitaries associated with Canada's Olympic team including Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities Carla Qualtrough, Tricia Smith, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), Chris Overholt, COC chief operating officer, Curt Harnett, three-time

Olympic medallist and Team Canada Rio 2016 Chef de Mission and Isabelle Charest, three-time Olympic medallist and Team Canada Rio 2016 assistant Chef de Mission.

MacLennan, from King City, Ont., bounced her way to gold in London four years ago, taking home Canada’s only gold medal from those Games.

Looking forward to Rio, MacLennan said she can’t wait to get there and start jumping on some trampolines.

Team Canada will have more than 300 athletes competing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Team Canada won 18 medals in London in 2012.

Scotiabank Team Community Program

Admission Unlimited Rides Concerts & Dances Weekend All Inclusive Pass $50 $10 admission Saturday & Sunday Excludes Concerts, Midway and Grand Prize Draw

Volunteers from the Rideau Grenville Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Canada were grateful to receive the generous donation of $2,000 from the South Mountain Branch of Scotiabank. As has happened for the past several years at the annual RG DUCS dinner/auction fundraising event, Nancy Miller-McKenzie, manager of the South Mountain Scotiabank Branch along with other Scotiabank volunteers have assisted at the dinner. Without their help the event would not be the yearly success it has become. Scotiabank takes the opportunity to jump in and help out with both time and dollars to various recipients throughout the year. The program is called the Scotiabank Team Community Program. This program supports Scotiabank employees in our efforts to help causes and charities in our communities. As employees, to be eligible for assistance from Scotiabank, they must actively take part in the charity/cause fundraiser. In the case of the Ducks Unlimited Dinner/Auction, employees sold VIP packages at the door the night of the event. The bank will match funds based on the number of employees involved to a specified limit. From left to right; Tom Humphreys (RG DUCS volunteer), Heather McNulty (South Mountain Scotiabank), John Carkner (RG DUCS volunteer), Nancy Miller-McKenzie (Manager South Mountain Scotiabank), Sherri Orendi (South Mountain Scotiabank) and John McKenzie (RG DUCS volunteer) Missing helpers were Laura Patterson from Kemptville Branch and Thomas Weatherbee-Martin from South Mountain.

South Mountain Fair goes big The 124th edition of the South Mountain Fair will not disappoint.

The Mountain Township Agricultural Society is very excited about this year’s fair.

“We have an action packed schedule of events that will keep fair goers of all ages entertained,” said Fairboard President Paul Allan.

The four-day event starts on August 18 with a truck pull and continues Friday evening with our ever-popular demolition derby and a great country band - Kerosene Creek - in the big tent.

The regular agricultural shows such as poultry, heavy horse, Saddle and Harness, Angus and Simmental as well as a Tractor Pull will be taking place and you won’t want to miss the

Big Rig Show N’ Shine.

“Our new and very popular ‘Children’s Entertainment Tent’ will be hosting acts such as The Little Buckaroo’s from the Treehouse Television Show on their main stage,” said Allan.

There will also be activity stations from Elephant Thoughts, and other features such as magicians, petting zoo, Glass Slippers (Cinderella & Sleeping Beauty) meet and greet, face painting, greasy pig contest, pizza eating contest, junior farmer Olympics, and the fair’s very popular Corn Maze to keep everyone entertained.

The entertainment tent is welcoming Canadian sweetheart Terri Clark on Saturday night.

Hear her sing hit songs such as ‘I just Wanna Be Mad,’ ‘No Fear’ and ‘Better Things to Do.’ Local band Blackwell will close out the evening with their high energy show.

The fairs very popular Sunday with the band Unwound will showcase members of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame such as Dan Ducharme, Dusty King Jr. and Dan Paul Rogers.

Mark Wills, a popular Grand Ole Opry guest, will take the stage at 4 p.m..

Hits like ‘Wish You Were Here,’ ‘Don’t Laugh at Me’ and ‘1970 Something’ will no doubt be on his set list.

Plan to attend.

Signs bylaw decision discussed at length during media briefing Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

The following is a list of briefs from the media briefing held on July 19, attended

by CAO Brian Carré and Mayor David Gordon.

Enforcing Hydro One’s bylaw questioned A question was posed whether the statement made during the signs bylaw deputation was correct, in that the municipality does not have to enforce Hydro One’s bylaws.

“I’m going to clarify that,” said Carré.

“The response that the gentlemen mentioned at the meeting was that Hydro One has not appointed any municipality to enforce on their behalf. That’s not the same as we are not required to uphold the legislation.

That’s not what that says.”

“The requirement is that, under the legislation, the province of Ontario requires you to seek permission to affix advertising or a poster on a utility pole,” he continued.

“The municipality can’t down the bylaws or start turn around and condone changing them for indiit.” vidual groups because then it will cause problems and Exemption for kids the bylaw will become unennot in the cards forceable.”

A question was posed “If council were to amend regarding council’s immov- a bylaw that was to contraability on creating an ex- dict provincial legislation – emption for kids in the signs you were joking earlier, well bylaw. don’t they get mad at you – “At this point in time, they would get mad at us,” council – six months ago said Carré.

New play structure for South Gower Park questioned A question was posed regarding the decision to apply for a grant to build a new play structure at South Gower Park, where there is already a play structure in place, rather than another park in North Grenville that lacks a play structure.

“This request for a new play structure at South Gower Park was part of the budget process,” said Carré.

“It fell below the line. The accessibility advisory committee was looking at seeing council consider an accessible play structure.

From my conversations with the director (of parks, recreation and culture) and superintendent (of facilities), was that the play structure was not pristine and there were some areas that would require our attention. And if we are going to invest in an accessible park structure, I suspect that they were looking at parks that have high volume use.”

“I remember, when I was involved in the school com-

mittee – this was too many years ago – we were so proud, we raised money for a play structure,” said Gordon.

“Parents actually put it together. It was a wood play structure. Two years later, the province came out with new regulations. Insurance nailed us.

They had to take down that play structure. Parents said, well it’s a perfectly good play structure. Well, the insurance companies said the school board, no it’s not and we’re not insuring it.”

“Just remember, at this point in time, the public is demanding more safety on everything,” he continued.

“It creates problems for municipalities. It creates problems for everybody. So what we’re trying to do is address the issues.”

“It has not been deemed as a play structure that needs to be removed today,” said Carré. “But you hear us talk a lot about asset management and lifecycles and life expectancies. Through my discussions with staff,

it’s approaching or reaching its life expectancy.”

Temporary shade solutions questioned A question was posed whether it made sense to spend municipal funds on temporary shade solutions for the Kemptville Pool, rather than pooling available funds with funds in the 2017 budget to build a more permanent shade structure, such as a pavilion.

“My recollection was to go and find low-cost solutions to finish the end of the year, to provide shade, and we will have to look at a more permanent solution in 2017,” said Carré.

Gordon was then asked why he voted against the recommendation.

“I took it, exactly as you said, a band-aid solution,” said Gordon.

“I would much rather see us looking for a permanent solution, instead of throwing money away on a temporary solution – money that could have gone towards a more permanent solution for next year.”

UPCOMING MEETINGS

Debbie Watt is the new executive director of the Beth Donovan Hospice.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

New hospice director ‘inspired’ by collaborative nature of community Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Willing to work together.

“It’s inspiring how many people want to collaborate,” said Debbie Watt, the new executive director of the Beth Donovan Hospice.

Watt began her role with the BDH on July 4 and is very excited to get to know the community.

“I’m amazed by the team here and the community,” she said.

“The generosity and investment the community, staff and board (of directors) put in.”

Watt started her career as a nurse in 1984. One year later, she entered the selfless world of palliative care.

“School didn’t prepare me for not being able to cure all my patients,” she said.

She took courses in palliative care and in 1989 travelled to London, England to see where hospice originated.

“There were 42 people from all over the world who came,” she explained.

Upon her return, Watt began working with the palliative care service at Grace Hospital in Ottawa, which is no longer in existence.

“The idea was to have residential hospice in the west end of Ottawa,” she said.

From there, she worked on the palliative care program consultant team for the Ottawa Hospital.

“It was phenomenal in the sense I was able to work with and care for people who were recently diagnosed and had to make decisions about treatment and stopping treatment.”

In 2003, Watt helped launch the Friends of Hospice Ottawa.

“We started doing day hospice at the Bells Corners church and opened up another in Richmond,” she said. “We also had an in-house program and volunteer training.”

After working with FOHO, Watt went to Bayshore Home Health (Ottawa branch), where she served as the director of clinical management for eight-and-ahalf years.

“I had the privilege to travel and teach about palliative care.”

She explained over the past three decades, understanding of palliative and hospice care has improved, but there is still work to be done.

“Funding has always been a challenge,” said Watt. “It’s get-

ting better, but it’s still something to work on.”

“Hospice is not just end of life care,” she continued. “It’s about helping people live.”

Her new role with the BDH will allow her to focus 100 per cent on hospice care.

“Looking at the various programs we have here – in-home care, bereavement, equipment lending – being able to invest all my energy into that is really exciting. There are opportunities to expand the programs to meet the growing needs of the community.

With the growing population, we are going to have to step-up to the plate to meet needs.”

She explained day hospice is at capacity and bereavement counselling is a highly utilized service.

“While exciting, it’s also a concern. We need to look at how to continue growing and where to grow.”

One big immediate need for the BDH is volunteers.

“I am very impressed with the equipment lending program; that expense can be huge for families. That program meets a lot of needs and families are very appreciative.”

Her first goal is to get her finger on the pulse with regards to

the hospice’s history.

“What’s existing, how did we get to this point and how do we grow from here.”

Watt shared one of her favourite quotes, which came from a hospice in Florida; when you enter this world, you are surrounded by love, comfort and care. Don’t people deserve the same when they leave it?

“Working with patients is a real honour,” she explained.

“They teach you about courage and strength. People ask me why I do this – they say it must be depressing. I don’t think it’s depressing at all. It’s enormously rewarding. Advocating for people and getting to know them – they touch you, leave an imprint on your heart. It’s a privilege getting to know them, caring for them and getting to journey with them.”

She shared a story about a lady she met once at day hospice, who had come in for treatment.

“I asked her how it was going and she told me it was the first time she’d been touched in two years. That broke my heart.

That is what hospice gives people – that is what our services mean to them. It’s sad, but it’s also a motivator.”

OPINION

B

BUT mom!

eing a mom is hard.

You spend from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every single day trying to make sure your kids are happy, healthy and well fed. Basically, I am a slave to three tiny people who don’t let me sit down for more than 60 seconds at a time or eat at the pace I enjoy.

I work really hard to give my children everything they need.

Parents make sacrifices they don’t even realize they’re making at the time, just to make their kid’s lives a little easier.

We run ourselves ragged to help them in every way possible.

My oldest son has gotten to the age now where he realizes his friends have ‘more’ than he does.

This morning I got really upset because Hendrick kept talking about a drone he wanted. A drone, for those of you who don’t know, is like a high-tech remote control helicopter that captures images and video from above.

On average, they cost $1,000.

I told him this and that was way too much money to spend on a toy, but he just looked at me like I was crazy.

Kids have no concept of money, by the way. When I was a kid, $2 was what you got for doing chores all week – now anything less than $20 is a joke to kids.

He then began telling me all the things we could do with a drone that we can’t do now.

For instance, fly the drone down the road to inspect the berry bushes before walking ALL the way there to pick them.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

What an idea!

I told him no again.

He persisted.

He NEEDED a drone. It would make our life SO much easier.

I explained that if I can’t get a new computer, which costs less than a drone, even though my space key makes double spaces between each word I type (and has for two weeks), then he certainly wasn’t getting his drone.

Then he listed off all the things his friends have; four-wheelers, snowmobiles, iPhones, TVs in their rooms and on and on.

Great. I work my butt off day-in, day-out, just to be made to feel inadequate as a parent.

I tried to tell him to be grateful for what he has, rather than thinking about the things he doesn’t have, but to a kid that’s like speaking Spanish really quickly – does not compute.

I tell him all the time how lucky he is and yet all he can focus on is how much ‘more’ other people have.

I don’t know if it’s the times we live in or just the mentality of children nowadays, but maybe the solution would be to stop buying food – then he would actually have something to complain about.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Spicy!

Some like it hot! These hot peppers, found in a local garden, are just about ready to add some kick to a tasty dish.

Country mouse in the big city

hen you think of the heart of the city, you might bring to mind the Byward Market. Well, that is where I drive to work now, as evening news producer/ writer at CFRA News/Talk Radio.

I don’t have to deal with rush hour because it’s a smooth mid-afternoon drive in and a cruise home just before midnight. It takes less than an hour one way, and I use that time wisely.

I listen to the news and when I’m all caught up with that, I car-dance.

The Market is a bustling beehive of activity at any time of day, it seems.

The heat from the pavement causes the scent of warm tomatoes, donuts and flowers to waft through the air.

You can hear live music coming from the street corner where a busker dressed like a geisha girl is playing an antique Japanese string instrument.

Yesterday it was someone singing old French Canadian pub tunes while playing a guitar, a tambourine and a bass drum. You never know what you are going to get.

I look out the studio window onto George Street, and I am reminded of when I lived in Taipei. I was then

The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

situated one city block from town hall. My roommate, Sylvia from Singapore, placed two brass turtles on stacks of books looking out the window onto the busy intersection below.

The turtles were part of a feng shui action, to divert any negative energy that might be emanating from the people and vehicles in the intersection.

I don’t feel that George Street requires any feng shui correction. Most of the people I see outside seem to be in an extremely good mood. They don’t appear to be in a hurry to get anywhere. I think most pedestrians and motorists passing through the market have a pretty relaxed agenda.

Except, of course, for the dozens of people I see every day who are obviously playing the highly addic-

tive “Pokemon Go” on their mobile phones. They have their noses in their phones and if they don’t watch out they may get hit by a passing vehicle.

I usually bring my dinner to work from home, to save money and calories.

The Beavertails donut kiosk and the Lois and Frima homemade ice cream stand are right outside my office, however, should I need a snack. I can also get fresh sushi, Chinese bubble tea, a Three Amigos cookie, and myriad other delights. I can pick up fresh fish at the Lapointe fish market and bring it home for the next day’s lunch. I bought myself a sterling silver ring made out of an antique spoon for ten bucks. It’s like being a tourist every day.

I have to admit, though, the first two weeks of walking across the market to my parking lot after dark I was a bit spooked. Ottawa has its fair share of people on the streets who can be a bit intimidating when they approach you for spare change at night. But for the most part I feel pretty safe on the market. And I’m out of there before 11 p.m.

On the other end of my commute

is the farm. I wake up when I wake up. No alarm clock required. I go for a jog, then fall into the pool to cool down. I weed the garden, then take a shower, dress, do some laundry and tidy up the house. The rest of the morning might be spent making some meals for the Farmer so he doesn’t starve while I’m at work.

Then we enjoy a leisurely, substantial lunch together before I drive in to the city.

It isn’t your typical farmwife life but what is, really? I have my weekends off for social activities, family dinner and the Kemptville Farmers’ Market.

The other day at work I used the

sayings “a man on a galloping horse would never notice” and “I’ll have it done in two shakes of a lamb’s tail” so I think they are on to me. The country mouse is in the house.

When I get back from my morning walk I like to let the turkeys out of their pens to roam around for the day.

Sometimes I get a bit of turkey poop on my shoes. Let’s just hope I remember to change shoes before I head to work, or it will be more than my colloquialisms that let everyone know I live on a farm. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

August Events for the Mind at NGPL On Aug. 4 our Science and Technology Group welcomes Frank Hitchens back to the library. His topic is “Are We Alone in the Universe”. Frank Hitchens is an astronomer who lives in Lombardy; and, more than anything else, other than looking at the stars, he enjoys sharing his passion for the Cosmos.

His last presentation at the library was touted by some as the best speaker they have ever heard.

All are welcome on Thursday, Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. This is a free event.

There are multiple ways to listen to an author, a musician, or a speaker these days, but hearing someone perform or read in front of you, in person, offers an immediate and personal connection with music, writing, and ideas.

On Aug. 6 at 2 p.m., at the North Grenville Public Library (Norenberg Building), enjoy listening to poet Phil Hall and fiction writer/ poet Natalie Morrill as they read their poetry or fiction, and take the opportunity to stay afterward to chat with them.

Phil Hall has been publishing poetry in Canada since 1973. He won the Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry in English for his book of essay-poems, Killdeer (BookThug, 2011); this collection also garnered him the 2012 Trillium Book Award. His most recent books are: Guthrie Clothing: The Poetry of Phil Hall—A Selected Collage (Sir Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2015), and Conjugation (BookThug, 2016).

He has taught widely, and been writer-in-residence at among others, Queen’s University, the University of Ottawa, Sage Hill Writing, the Pierre Burton House.

He is Senior Poetry Editor at BookThug Press, and lives near Perth, Ontario.

Natalie Morrill is an Ontario writer recently transplanted from Sudbury to Ottawa. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC and writes primarily fiction and poetry.

Her work has been included in The Journey Prize Stories, and her first novel, forthcoming from HarperCollins Canada in 2017, was recognized with the HarperCollins Canada/UBC Prize for Best New Fiction.

This is a free event.

a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away July 31, 2006.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear; Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach.

Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear.

In our hearts forever.

Parents seek explanation for handling of signs bylaw enforcement in Oxford Mills Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

The plot thickens.

Jamie Beavis and Ken Davidson, whose children were forced to remove their lawn care posters from hydro poles back in June, came before council on July 18 to seek an explanation for the handling of the situation.

As previously reported in The Kemptville Advance, Evan Davidson, Jack Johnston and Nolan Beavis – all 13-yearold from Oxford Mills – started a lawn care business to make a few bucks during summer vacation.

They put up signs to advertise their business and were promptly told to remove them, in accordance with the North Grenville signs bylaw.

In the bylaw, it states ‘postering’ is not allowed on any posts in the municipality. Hydro One also doesn’t allow posters on their poles.

“I couldn’t believe a few young boys couldn’t put up a few small pieces of paper in Oxford Mills advertising lawn mowing,” said Davidson. “I thought I lived in a community that had country values – not a big city where people are more worried about appearances than their families and neighbours.”

He explained following the initial contact with bylaw, he in turn called seeking alternatives for the boys to advertise. Viable options were not provided.

“Our store has closed and with it went our community bulletin board,” said Davidson.

He said Fire Chief Paul Hutt told him the municipality was mandated to uphold existing legislation, such as the Hydro One bylaw.

“When we contacted Hydro One, they told us no authority had been given to any municipality to uphold their bylaws,” said Davidson. “This tells me we have a bylaw that can be changed and allow young people to advertise

Homeowners across the City of Ottawa began receiving their property assessment notices last week from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

Here are some important facts about that assessment.

Assessments are issued every four years by MPAC, which is an independent, not-for-profit corporation, funded by all Ontario municipalities. It’s not part of the City government and it’s not part of the provincial government. However, it was created by the Provincial Government with the passing of the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation Act in 1997.

The new notices are only for homes that are classified solely as residential. So, if you live in a home that is part of a different or combined tax class, your notices will be mailed by MPAC later this fall.

The assessed value of your home as of January 1, 2016 will be used to calculate your property tax bill between 2017 and 2020, but it won’t be the only factor. Other factors are the City’s spending priorities and tax policy, both of which are set each year by City Council. The City does not receive any extra revenue as a result of new property assessments.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Jamie Beavis and Ken Davidson listen as Fire Chief Paul Hutt explains the success of the signs bylaw. summer jobs. And it’s up to Hydro to police their poles, not the township; drive around the country and seeing the amount of signs on poles, it seems North Grenville is a lot more concerned than Hydro One is with this issue.”

“For me, it’s disillusioning and discouraging that this type of situation occurred in North Grenville,” said Beavis.

“My first question is, is this how you want North Grenville to be portrayed in the news and on social media? Is this what you want to be known for?”

“After the initial contact, informing the boys of the new bylaw, I suggest the situation was not handled appropriately,” he continued.

“This could have been a positive interaction between these boys and their local government, and by extension, their officials. It should have been a positive experience. It’s unacceptable the discussion of alternative solutions were presented only after newspaper articles were printed.”

“Unfortunately, it hap-

pened, but it happened,” said Mayor David Gordon. “We can’t move backwards. We have to move forward.”

“Our bylaw right now is very similar to other municipalities, with reference to utility poles,” said Hutt. He explained the signs bylaw has been in the works for the past two years and the reason for including no postering on utility poles was to prevent the defacing of property.

“Not so much with the traditional wooden hydro poles, but certainly in downtown Kemptville we have the decorative utility poles,” said Hutt.

“Where people put tape and would rip them off – it was damaging. The other item the municipality considered was the maintenance. I know in this particular case, there were four or five signs – I appreciate that – but normally we see the downtown area get plastered with posters, so it’s a maintenance issue afterwards either for the county or municipal staff.”

He explained there are other means of getting

the word out about the boys’ business, such as social media.

“The utility pole postering is overshadowing a lot of success,” said Hutt.

He explained the bylaw has addressed the sign pollution issue in North Grenville.

“When you drive through the community now, it’s aesthetically pleasing and safe,” said Hutt.

He said there has been no fines or citations issued to date pertaining to the signs bylaw.

“Maybe I could offer a bit of a solution to this dilemma, if we could even call it a dilemma,” said Councillor Donovan Arnaud. “First of all, tell your boys congratulations from me for their initiative. My kids did the same thing, so good for them. I think municipal notice boards are a great idea. There are two in particular; one is in Burritts Rapids and the other is in Merrickville. First of all, they’re just a plain board, but the interesting thing is they are both located near community mailboxes, where a lot

of the people who would hire your sons go on a regular basis to get their mail, whereas they probably wouldn’t be stopping at hydro poles as they’re driving back and forth through Oxford Mills. I think community boards concentrate messaging, as they do as grocery stores, and make it easier to look after.

Communication in a community is extremely important and I think we could have these community access boards located throughout our municipality.”

“I just want to remind people, because we are trying to be responsible, that there are paperless methods of communication,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “I just want to make those methods are being used as well because they have the technology to do that.”

“For me, this is getting off track – you’re talking about advertising for the kids,” said Beavis. “For me, this is about the response our kids received, instead of being educational, it was no, no, no.

That is not the right approach.”

The average residential property assessment in Ottawa has increased an average of 3.45 per cent in this most recent four-year cycle. Province-wide, the average is 18 per cent.

The average for Eastern Ontario is 5 per cent. Assessment increases are phased in over each four-year period. To put that into perspective, the average assessment increase in Ottawa in 2012 was 25.98%. The average in RideauGoulbourn in 2012 was 21%, which was below the City average. In 2016, however, Rideau-Goulbourn is near the top of the averages at 5.34%, still well below the increase from 2012. In comparison, the average increase in Toronto is 40%.

A property assessment, as determined by MPAC, that shows a property value increasing by more than the 3.45-per-cent average increase across Ottawa, will trigger an assessment-related tax increase before factoring in any budgetary implications. With the average increase being so low, and phased in over four years, any increases won’t likely be significant. Any decreases will be imposed right away. It is also important to note that just because your assessment went up, your taxes may not. If your home’s assessment is lower than the 3.45-per-cent average Ottawa increase, this will likely result in an assessmentrelated tax decrease on your property tax bill. If your assessment increase is right around the average, there will be no noticeable change.

If you don’t agree with the new property assessment notice you receive, you have until November 18th to file a Request for Reconsideration. Again, the Request for Reconsideration is done through MPAC, not through the City or Province.

For more information about your assessment, contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation at 1-888-296-6722. You can also use their online contact form at www. mpac.ca.

Committee of the Whole discusses grant application for new play structure, temporary shade solutions for Kemptville pool Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

The following is a list of briefs from the committee of the whole meeting on July 18.

Public meeting for 706 French Settlement Road A public meeting was held to consider a 10-year extension for a garden suite (in-law) suite at 706 French Settlement Road.

“The request before you tonight is for an extension of an established garden suite,” said Phil Mosher, planner. “It’s a rural property. This specific did receive a site specific zoning amendment in 2007 to establish a garden suite for a period of 10 years. Since that time, it’s still being used by the folks who inhabit it and inhabited it in 2007. An extension is required.”

The extension was recommended to council.

Public meeting for 230 Muldoon Road A zoning amendment was brought forth to allow a custom workshop, office and warehouse at 230 Muldoon Road.

“This is a rural property,” said Mosher. “Previously, this property had been zoned to allow for the storage and maintenance of not more than one performance race car. The zoning had been established in 1989. At that time, there was the construction of the warehouse. The applicant’s desire is to re-use existing buildings that are there, as part of their custom workshop and office. The business itself will be a graphic design and sign manufacturing

business – Classic Graphics.”

He explained the area is recognized as a source water protection area.

“As such, the applicant filled out the source water protection check list,” said Mosher. “As a result of that, the information was conveyed to the conservation authority. The types of paints that are going to be used at the business were not indicated to be any type of chemical or anything like that that would warrant any source water protection policy, so there was no comment from the conservation authority.”

He explained the warehouse is located 230 feet from the nearest residence and is screened by large trees.

“It’s a very secluded lot; very difficult to see what would be going on,” said Mosher. “Based on all this, it’s my opinion this is appropriate land use planning.”

The amendment was recommended to council.

NGFS mourns loss of Patrick Pidgeon “It is with sadness and regret that I am informing you there has been a firefighter line of duty death in Loyalist Township, just outside of Kingston,” said Fire Chief Paul Hutt.

Patrick Pidgeon, 45, sustained fatal injuries while battling a blaze in Amherstview on July 16.

“Our deepest sympathies to Pidgeon’s family and friends,” said Hutt. “As fire chief of North Grenville and county coordinator of Leeds and Grenville, I have reached out and offered our condolences

and provided our support or assistance if needed. You’ll notice, until Monday, our flags at the fire hall will be at half-mast as well.” “It’s a great loss,” said Mayor David Gordon.

Grant application for new play structure at South Gower Park “Just one point of interest this evening,” said Kevin Henry, superintendent of facilities.

“Just want to advise council that the department (parks, recreation and culture) will be submitting a grant application to the Employment and Social Development Canada for the replacement of the play structure at South Gower Park with a new accessible structure.

We’re currently receiving pricing on different models and expect to have things in order to send out early next week.”

Temporary solutions recommended to create shade at Kemptville Pool Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin explained she has met with the director and staff in the parks and recreation department to discuss possible immediate solutions to the lack of shade at the Kemptville Pool, which community members have approached her about.

“Currently, it’s a non-shaded area,” said Tobin. “I have been approached and I think Councillor (Frank) Onasanya has been approached as well by a number of parents. Unlike the soccer fields or baseball diamond, that have organized groups that run their program where they can find funding to help them out a little bit, this

is an organization where we’re asking them to come and pay for lessons, but we’re lacking that little bit of shelter currently, so I’m just hoping there’s a solution we can find that would be temporary at this time that will allow parents to sit and enjoy their children swimming. I think we have a responsibility, with this summer in particular that we’re having, to have something available to parents.”

“The department has looked at a couple temporary options,” said Henry. “We investigated the rental of a 20” by 20” tent and the cost for that is $300 a week. We considered the smaller 10” by 10” pop-up tents. As well, we’ve looked at sails – something that can be affixed to the building – and provide some shade on the pool deck.

One other option would be simply providing umbrellas on the picnic tables there as well.”

He explained the sails and umbrellas could be handled in the current budget.

“In 2017, we should look at a more permanent structure, to create that shade,” said Onasanya. “We might be going down a very slippery slope here,” said Gordon. “Yes, there’s no shade.

But, yes, there’s no shade at the soccer fields or the baseball fields. My kids were in both and I don’t remember anyone asking for an umbrella. Maybe this is a sign of the times. I think we should look at this very carefully before we leap into it.”

“I just think it’s important to note that when your children and my children went to the pool, there was shade, from trees that have been cut down by us,” said Tobin.

The motion to get low-cost temporary solutions up as soon as possible (umbrellas and sails) was carried by a vote of three to one, with Gordon and Councillor Jim Bertram voting against.

Drinking Water Quality Management System quarterly report “The first report we have is the water and wastewater report,” said Mike Finley, superintendent of environmental services. “This report provides updates within the water and sewer department from April to June. A few project highlights in the report; we did install PLCs, which are little mini computers at each of our water pumping stations, as well our backflow installations has reached just under 90 per cent, so we’re almost done that project.”

Group health insurance renewal and auditor’s management letter discussed “I have two reports this evening,” said Nicole Zywicki, director of finance. “The first is a recommendation to renew the 2016 group health insurance, provided by Great West Life.

The renewal date is in July each year, so that’s why the report is now.”

She explained the renewal rates are based on claims history, as well as any inflation factors, such as inflation for health care and drugs.

“Employee demographics can also influence renewal rates,” said Zywicki. “So overall this year, the average of all the individual rates – some went up, some went down – so

the average is a 5.4 per cent increase to the entire plan. The total projected cost is within the 2016 budgeted amount.”

The renewal was recommended to council.

“The second report is the 2015 auditor’s management letter,” said Zywicki. “So this report is presented annually to council and it comes with the completed audited financial statements, which was presented at the last committee of the whole. The purpose of this report is to communicate the status of our organization’s internal controls that support financial information. In 2015, the auditor highlighted three areas that require management’s attention. The first area is the unfunded liability for the landfill closure and post-closure costs. So the costs are estimated to be $3.42 million over 25 years. Management has accepted this recommendation to incorporate that into our longterm financial plan.”

She explained the second item pertains to the working capital fund and capital reserve.

“The recommendation is to better align them with our long-term financial plan,” said Zywicki. “So, again, management has accepted this recommendation.” The third and last recommendation from the auditor is to develop an internal process to ensure supplemental assessments are updated to the tax roll on a timely basis.

“Staff will update the tax roll and billing policy to include an internal process to address this item.”

The report was recommended to council.

tatoes, vegetable turnover, mushy peas and runner beans. Guests will want to save room for dessert: traditional English trifle.

From 8 to 11 p.m. the three-piece British Invasion show band will present music by British artists including The Beatles, The Kinks, Eric Clapton, Gerry and The Pacemakers, and many more. The show will also touch on some of the blues and early rock artists who first inspired The Beatles and Rolling Stones. “it’s not just a concert, it’s an experience,” said drummer Gord Logan.

“Audience participation is very important to us.”

The band features experienced musicians Phil Morotti on lead vocals and lead guitar, Chris Must on bass, and Gord Logan on drums.

Accomplished lead guitarist Morotti has been playing in the Kemptville area for over a decade with numerous bands. He draws inspiration from many styles of music,

but sings and plays mostly classic rock and rock ‘n roll.

His improvisational abilities guarantee a fresh take on each song at every performance. He is very much looking forward to lending his talents to this new production. Logan is a multiple Juno Award nominee whose musical career began as a professional drummer for various Toronto-based groups.

As a freelance studio session player in the Greater Toronto Area, he took part in studio recordings, TV shows, and concerts. Must, a native of England, was inspired early on by the music of Eric Clapton and the blues in general. In numerous musical projects over the years he has played bass, guitar, and harmonica.

To purchase tickets, call the Brigadoon Restaurant at 613-258-4433. Only 65 tickets are available.

From the tight vocal harmonies and explosive energy of the early Beatles to the blues revival and progressive rock that dominated the airwaves just a few short years later, the contribution of British bands to the golden age of rock music was enormous.

Former travel centre now serves as a paramedic station Tim Ruhnke

It’s another example of repurposing.

Dignitaries and members of the public gathered at the new South Grenville Paramedic Station last Wednesday to mark the official opening of the facility.

The property on Highway 16 in Johnstown housed an Ontario travel information centre for more than four decades; the facility was closed about four years ago, and the province declared the property surplus. The Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal eventually purchased the land. The Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service launched a process to investigate options of combining ambulance locations in Prescott and Spencerville. An in-depth analysis of options was conducted, and a committee opted for the Edwardsburgh Cardinal site.

Construction began last fall and was completed in February. There is a 20-year lease for use of the townshipowned facility. There are three

ambulances housed at the station in Johnstown. One is in service around the clock, and another operates eight hours a day. The third unit serves as a back-up for calls near shift changes or if there is a mechanical issue with another ambulance.

Ten full-time paramedics are based at the South Grenville location.

“We’re happy it’s going to make an impact on our response times,” said Chief Chris Lloyd, who added it’s a prime location given its access to highways 416 and 401 as well as County Road 2.

Paramedics from the South Grenville station had responded to 821 calls as of June 30, the chief reported.

Edwardsburgh Cardinal Mayor Pat Sayeau said that the township was “very pleased” to be able to facilitate the establishment of the new station. The municipality paid for the refurbishment of the site, which included the addition of the three-bay garage. Sayeau described it as an excellent location at which the paramedics can work.

The paramedic service covers the 10 municipalities in Leeds and Grenville as well as the so-called separated municipalities of Brockville, Prescott and Gananoque.

“This is a beautiful station,” remarked Leeds and Grenville Warden David Gordon, the mayor of North Grenville.

“You could not put it in a better spot.”

As part of the process of declaring crown land surplus, the province checks with the municipality where the land is located to see if it’s interested in the property before putting it on the open market. The Town of Prescott was contacted first because of a provincial error involving the address information.

Town council expressed an initial interest; Edwardsburgh Cardinal was eventually contacted by the province, and township council pursued ownership of the former travel centre.

There were discussions involving the local chamber of commerce to retain at least a portion of the facility as an information centre.

Whiskey Jack brings the sounds of Stompin’ Tom to Carleton Place Sept. 8 It promises to be an evening sprinkled with fond memories of a Canadian music icon.

Toronto-based Whiskey Jack brings its Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom show to the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place on Thursday, Sept. 8.

“Stompin’ Tom Connors is a legend in Carleton Place,” Bob White said.

White is one of the show’s organizers.

Also helping out is deputy mayor Jerry Flynn. He called Connors “a national treasure.”

“Stompin’ Tom was important to our town, and he was important to the Ottawa Valley,” he said.

Connors died of natural causes on March 6, 2013. He was 77-years-old.

Whiskey Jack has been performing country, roots and bluegrass music in North America since 1977, with four critically acclaimed recordings, nationally charted radio hits and so

In 2013, Carleton Place erected a giant mural of Stompin’ Tom Connors.

The mural, painted

by Ottawa artist Shaun McInnis, is located on the side of the building next to the former Mississippi Hotel. It features a smiling Connors in a black cowboy hat and with a guitar.

much more. Too, they often backed Connors. Now, through their new show, Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom, they pay homage to him.

Brockville’s Chris Hum is another show organizer, and White met him through Jamie Law, during the Law and Orders benefit in town on April 17.

Hum is known as the Valley Shantyman, and performing 200 shows a year, he is the resident musician at Wilderness Tours Adventure Resort in the Renfrew area.

“I do a hecklers and hooligans road show,” he said. “It’s a way to get the rowdies fired up.”

Hum first met Whiskey Jack leader Duncan Fremlin last winter.

“I was invited to perform with them,” he told the Canadian Gazette.

Other members of Whiskey Jack are Bob McNiven (guitar, vocals), See WHISKEY JACK page 46

From page 45

Howard Willett (harmonica, vocals), Randy Morrison (fiddle), Jen Cook (vocals), Eric Jackson (bass), Al Cross (drums) and Michelle Josef (drums). Fremlin’s job: vocals and banjo.

“Duncan has been a great mentor, and I want to thank him for his guidance,” Hum said. “I’m indebted to him and the band.”

After the Law and Orders fundraiser, “Chris and I started talking... he really wanted to bring this show to Carleton Place,” White said.

Hum is the opening act on Sept.

8.

Doors open at 5 p.m., with the Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom getting underway in the large upstairs hall at 7 p.m. The seating style is theatre.

White noted the event is licensed, and “the bar will be open from 5:30 p.m. until the show starts.”

Refreshments will not be served during the performance; however, the bar will be open during the intermission and afterwards.

“Law and Orders is handling the food, which will be available for purchase,” White said.

“You just know it will be good,” Flynn said.

Hum will perform for about one hour. Then, it’s Whiskey Jack at 8 p.m.

“The group will play for approxi-

flyers. coupons. shopping lists.

mately 60 minutes before we take a break,” Hum said. “Whiskey Jack is then back for another set.”

“I can’t wait!” he said about the show. “It’s going to be an honour for me to join them on stage – again.”

Charlie Kitts, a 2010 inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, is the event’s emcee.

“The one and only Charlie Kitts,” White said with a smile.

“It couldn’t be anyone but Charlie,” Flynn added.

After the show, Whiskey Jack will be selling CDs, signing autographs and taking pictures.

White noted he and Flynn have worked together on a number of Carleton Place shows, “and we always put our heart and soul into it.”

“If a show is coming to town, we want it to be successful,” he said.

Tickets, which go on sale on Aug. 2, are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. They can be picked up at the following locations: Carleton Place arena; Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office; SRC Music in Carleton Place; Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth; Law and Orders in Innisville; Naismiths Sports Pub in Almonte; and Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham. Online sales are available at https://1000islands. snapd.com/#/events/view/969874.

“We only have 375 tickets to sell,” White said. “They will go fast.”

Shop Smart

The show is general admission.

Each ticket comes with a complimentary beer tasting from the Whitewater Brewing Company.

To put on a show like this, it takes the support of sponsors and partners – the community. The event’s title sponsor is Law and Orders, and Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc. is looking after the tickets. Hospitality arrangements are courtesy of Generations Inn, and the Whitewater Brewing Company is responsible for the beer. Other show sponsors include Ryno Motors Sales & Service, Topps Environmental Solutions, Motorhouse. com and Alan R. Barker Funeral Home & Cremation Services (John Bowes).

“Anyone we approached for sponsorship, it was like a game of poker...everyone was all in,” Hum said.

“And when we were looking at dates, we took into consideration the fall fairs,” White explained.

“Besides, people don’t mind going out on a Thursday night.”

Flynn noted Connors always performed on Thursday nights.

White is the senior facility operator for the recreation and culture department. In his 36 years with the town, there have been three Stompin’ Tom concerts. The shows were held on the arena one slab, with Connors getting dressed in the old referees room.

“I remember him drinking 12 warm Moosehead,” White said.

Too, when Connors was around, “Alan (Barker) would sit with him behind the Mississippi Hotel parking, chatting and smoking,” the organizer added.

“I saw him perform at the Mississippi Hotel in 1967,” Flynn recounted, “and he wore out a chunk of three-quarter plywood.”

Spending the good part of the summer in Carleton Place back then, Conners played and stayed at the Mississippi Hotel, which was owned by Lorraine Lemay. He also spent a little bit of time at the Kemptville Hotel, which was also owned by Lemay.

Connors penned his hit song about French Canadian folk hero Big Joe Mufferaw at the Mississippi Hotel, and he helped save the building from demolition.

Today, Connors is looking out over the former Mississippi Hotel.

In 2013, the town erected a giant mural of the icon.

The mural, painted by Ottawa artist Shaun McInnis, is located on the side of the building next to the hotel. It features a smiling Connors in a black cowboy hat and with a guitar. Underneath are the following lyrics: “Everyone’ll tell ya around Carleton Place the Mississippi dripped off of Big Joe’s face.”

Whiskey Jack continuously sells out shows across the country. In

February this year, they delighted Hugh’s Room in Toronto for Connors’ 80th birthday celebration - sharing the stage with Gordon Lightfoot, JP Cormier and other special guests. Former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson was the emcee.

Conners’ songs have become part of the Canadian cultural landscape.

Three of his best-known songs – Sudbury Saturday Night, Bud the Spud and The Hockey Song.

In addition to plenty of parking, the Neelin Street Community Centre, located at 75 Neelin St., is fully accessible.

‘Tis the season to watch out for other drivers Summer travel season is definitely in high swing and with it comes a collision risk we all need to consider. I got a heart-pounding lesson in this risk recently as I came close to being involved in a multi-vehicle pile-up. While travelling my usual route from work to home recently I noted a mid-sized sedan making a legal U-turn on the two-lane road ahead. There was one vehicle between it and mine and we both had good unobstructed views and were able to slow down to allow the misguided driver to make his/her maneuver. This vehicle was originally travelling in the oncoming lane and obviously missed its turn. Once it completed the U-turn it immediately began executing a left turn to get back onto the missed laneway.

That’s when a pick-up truck behind me decided to pass on a doubleline to avoid the slow-down and the turning sedan impacted the truck’s right rear wheel as it went by. You might think that this was just going to be a fender bender, but because of the truck’s speed and the angle of impact, the truck spun out and its driver was lucky to bring it back under control.

Oh and I forgot to mention this all occurred on a bridge over a river so hopefully that truck driver went out and bought a lottery ticket because he was smiled upon by a very benevolent spirit.

The moral is, never assume any vehicle you share the road with is going to make predictable moves.

During our vacation season there are a lot of drivers out there who are unfamiliar with the territory and missed turns, slow-downs, and U-turns increase exponentially.

Before heading out on that camping or boating trip with your trailer in tow, check first to see if your vehicle’s wheel jack will work on the trailer and that you have a serviceable spare for it. It’s amazing the number of temporarily abandoned expensive boat and camper trailers we see on the roadside during summer travel season that have a flat.

Not only does this leave property at risk of theft, it also creates a hazard to other motorists. Don’t forget to make sure you have a proper lug nut wrench for the trailer wheels.

If you’re missing any of this vital equipment, a quick trip to your neighbourhood auto-parts store can easily rectify things without a major expense.

And while we’re on the topic of towing, don’t assume you can eliminate an overloaded vehicle

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

by simply transferring gear to the trailer. All vehicles have various weight ratings and no matter where the heavy gear goes (whether in the vehicle or the trailer), the auto’s engine and transmission are still responsible for moving it. Check your vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) which will indicate the limits it’s built for in terms of total weight of the vehicle, its occupants and gear as well as the trailer. If you’re near the limit and are towing a boat or other motorized craft, and want to trim some pounds, don’t tow with a full load of fuel on the trailer. Yes, it may cost a few more dollars to purchase fuel at your waterside destination, but that small amount pales in comparison with the bill for a cooked drive-train.

Ghost Stories at Full Circle Theatre: ‘Local’ history becomes real theatre A newcomer to BarnDoor Productions’ rehearsals once watched the group going through the process of shaping their production and commented: “You people do real theatre!”

An excellent illustration of that is Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing, which opens next week at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. Although based on a local legend, written and composed by a locally-based author and brought to the stage by local performers, Ghost Stories goes well beyond what might be expected of a “local” show. It is, in the words of CBC Radio, “grim, funny, clever . . . thrilling, indeed!”

The “musical chiller” is being mounted by BarnDoor Productions (Perth’s original community theatre) as the third in their summer-long series of all-original, all-local productions celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement.

The Legend of Oliver’s Landing is a story from the very beginnings of Perth’s settlement. In 1822, John Oliver and his wife ran the ferry and a little inn on the shore of Big Rideau Lake, at what is now called Rideau Ferry. The legend says that Oliver was a belligerent, quarrelsome man and that he and his wife were murdered in a dispute involving some of the area’s First Nations people – and that, when their cabin was torn down many years later, human skeletons were found in

Preparing a legendary local show: The company of BarnDoor Productions’ Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing sing one of the number in their first on-set rehearsal last Sunday at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. The show is about, by and for the community, but it packs an entertainment punch that goes far beyond its “local” origins.

the cellar.

That’s about all of the “fact” that is known – the legend has grown since. Author David Jacklin took the “skeleton” of this story and created a Broadway-style musical about it, one that, in previous productions, has proven to be a crowd-pleasing, crowdchilling piece of entertainment.

From romantic lovers to maniacal murderers, Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing packs a huge wallop of thrills, chills, laughs and excitement into its under-two-hour run-time. Songs range from the comic, like Gelt! where the Olivers’ dream of what it would be like to have the

money that some of their guests have, to the darkly disturbing, like Victims where Mr. Oliver thinks about the things he has done, to the soaringly romantic, like For You where a pair of fleeing lovers pledge their loyalty, to the just plain strange, like Pleasant Little Murders where the company outline the possibilities the Olivers are contemplating before they begin their nefarious careers. It’s a “full-score” musical, with a big orchestral sound.

The Brockville Recorder and Times said, “Followers of good theatre can all rejoice! Ghost Stories is bewitching, believable and, above all, blatantly unpredictable.” And, that’s the ex-

citing thing about the show: you may think you know where it’s going, but you’ll have no idea of how it’s going to get there. You can be assured, however, that it’s going to be bumpy ride!”

BarnDoor has gathered a company of fourteen to mount the show, with Julie Kevan, who impressed so much earlier in the summer in The Great Perth Temperance Soiree, as Mrs. Oliver, a role that involves both quickness of tongue and stamina, as her two big solos don’t appear until the second act. Author/composer David Jacklin has stepped into the role of Mr. Oliver for one last time, an unplanned excursion which, nevertheless, fits him like a

glove, having played the axe-wielding Oliver back in 1992, that time playing opposite wife Janice, who has moved to the director’s chair for this production.

Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing has proven itself both exciting and memorable. One odd thing about the show is that patrons who have seen the show in the past and are phoning to order tickets to see it again never quite seem to remember the name: “that Oliver’s Landing show” seems to be the usual. Either way, get your tickets and see it. Based on the memories of returning patrons, it’s a show that will stick with you for a long time.

Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing will run for three weekends at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre: Aug. 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 7, 14, and 21 at 1:30 p.m. Note the summer curtain time is one-half hour earlier than our usual. Full Circle Theatre is at 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park.

Tickets are just $20 reserved; $22 at the door. Students are $10 any time.

To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884.

No credit cards are required; cash at the performance is requested.

Perth Military Settlement 200th Anniversary

Tay Valley Settlers Day: Cultivating heritage at Lanark County Plowing Match On Saturday Aug. 20, the eastern Ontario township of Tay Valley will have a few less untilled fields! That’s because it will be hosting the 2016 Lanark County Plowing Match and Settlers Heritage Day. The annual plowing match will be a picture perfect backdrop to showcase the township’s 200th anniversary celebrations.

The tractors will be revving and the furrows will be unfolding from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the heritage Moodie-Cameron Farm located at 2677 Scotch Line/Hwy 10 in Tay Val-

ley, five minutes south of Perth. And best news of all…it’s free!

With 200 years of strong rural traditions and culture, Tay Valley Township will be dovetailing a special Settlers Heritage Day with the annual Lanark County Plowing Match as part of its 2016 signature celebratory events. Welcoming families, farmers, visitors, locals and competitors, the day will begin with a pancake breakfast featuring real maple syrup and continue on to showcase Submitted photos sheep shearing, fence Tay Valley Township plays host to the 2016 Lanark County Plowing building demonstrations,

Coinciding with the match, the township is also planning a special Settlers Heritage Day to honour the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement.

Tay Valley Township Reeve Keith Kerr says, “With such strong rural roots here in Tay Valley, we felt that the Lanark County Plowing Match would be the perfect venue to host our celebration of heritage. Our wish is to share the natural beauty and genuineness of our region with anyone who wants to experience an authentic rural tradition.

As a thank you, we have made admission free so everyone can enjoy.”

And of course there’s the plowing! This is where things turn a little more serious. Competitors will be vying not only for first place within their divisions, but to earn points to continue on for qualification for subsequent plowing matches. Not a sport to be taken lightly, judges will be eyeing up the furrows, tallying up points for straightness, cut, uniformity, closeness, packing and a dizzying litany of requirements and

guidelines. Men, women, seasoned veterans and young agriculturalists alike will be out in their literal fields proving their coordination and skill.

It is with special pride that this year’s plowing match is being hosted on the farm of a former Ontario Queen of the Furrow winner Trina Code.

Trina proudly took the provincial title back to her home Lanark County in 1990. The plowing match continues to be a venue for women to show their skills in the agricultural world celebrating more than 55 years of Queen of the Furrow competitions.

Barrie Crampton will be featuring an interactive historical mapping project made possible through the donated work of CGIS Spatial Solutions of Perth. The map shows the original lot boundaries for Perth, Drummond/ North Elmsley, Tay Valley and Beckwith that were granted to European arrivals and disbanded soldiers from the War of 1812, along with various types of land grants (e.g.

From page 49

Crown) and information about the original settlers, such as where they were from, how many were in their families and more. Digital mapping is integral in telling the story of the Perth Military Settlement by resurrecting the original maps of the survey done in 1815.

The day will also be a venue for local heritage farms to celebrate their 100, 150 or 200 years of family ownership. These qualifying farms will be presented with commemorative “Legacy Farm” certificates honouring their contributions to the area’s development. To qualify for Legacy Farm certification, farms had to meet designation criteria. This meant that direct descendants of the

same family should have owned the farm for 100, 150 or 200 consecutive years; a family member should still own the farm; the farm should still be at least 50 acres in size but does not need to be in active operation; and that incorporated farms and farm properties could be divided among several descendants. Farm owners were invited to qualify for the Legacy Farm project as part of the joint celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement.

Other displays and presentations will focus on the township’s settler and indigenous history and rural origins. There will be genealogical displays, antique exhibits and heritage crafts, such as weaving. Families, with all their generations, are en-

couraged to come celebrate, with activities for the young and the young at heart.

In the tradition of neighbourly visiting, a unique socializing tent will be available where folks and family can catch up on news and conversation or just relax in the shade and talk about this year’s Plowing Match winners and 200th anniversary celebrations.

The annual Lanark County Plowing Match is organized by the Lanark County Plowmen’s association.

Settlers Heritage Day is presented by the 200th anniversary working group of Tay Valley Township.

Sugarman shines in Classic Theatre Festival comedy Arms and the Man Lana Sugarman is pledged to the boisterous soldier Sergius (Lindsay Robinson, on one knee) but finds herself attracted to a soldier from the other side, Captain Bluntschli (Scott Clarkson) in the Classic Theatre Festival comedy Arms and the Man, playing until August 14 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth.

Tickets are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877283-1283.

In the Classic Theatre Festival production of George Bernard Shaw’s comedy Arms and the Man (playing until Aug. 14 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth), audiences are first introduced at the top of the show to the romantic, young, passionate Raina, played with aplomb by multi-talented Toronto performer Lana Sugarman.

This year marks her first season in Perth following three summers with the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival in Prescott.

A graduate of the stellar Sheridan Musical Theatre program – where the intensive program combines everything from clown and tap dance to writing and playing songs – Sugarman first got bitten by the theatre bug in high school. Although she had seen a good deal of theatre in Saskatchewan while growing up, it was English teachers encouraging their students to memorize and perform monologues, as well as a grade 10 musical, that convinced her that she enjoyed being under the spotlights. Sealing the deal was stepping in at the last minute for a dinner theatre role in the Alan Ayckbourn comedy Relatively Speaking.

Once out of school, Sugarman played in Romeo and Juliet and Othello with the Classical Theatre Project (which brings Shakespeare to schools) and then embarked on a seven-month, North American tour with the children’s show Clifford the Big Red Dog. Recent roles playing Shakespeare on the St. Lawrence have included Audrey in As You Like It, Desdemona in Othello, and varied roles in The Merchant of Venice, Taming of the Shrew and measure for Measure.

“Playing Shakespeare in the outdoors is great fun and also an adventure, not least when an occasional duck walks into your scene or you have to play dead while being eaten by mosquitoes,” Sugarman laughs.

Playing Raina in Arms and the Man is a treat, she says, because “she has so much vitality. She is a petulant dreamer but also someone with a real imagination, a deep thinker, not to mention an only child, something I can relate to,” Sugarman says. She finds that Arms and the Man and playwright Shaw “really cultivate a re-

spect for reality, because he explores the romance of love and war, he questions those ideals, and for Raina, there is a real growth in her character.”

Sugarman enjoys playing Shaw “because it’s classical without being Shakespeare,” and while she enjoys the smart and witty language, she

notes that she “really hasn’t been cast much lately in anything written after 1970!”

She’s also enjoying her first summer in Perth, especially sitting in Stewart Park and running lines with Rachel Fischer (who plays the servant girl Louka, and who appeared in last

year’s Barefoot in the Park).

“I love exploring new places and being in a beautiful town with a strong sense of community,” she says, adding it’s great getting to know the gentleman who is hosting both her and another performer.

When not acting, Sugarman, a certified yogini, teaches yoga in Toronto.

She finds very close parallels between yoga and acting, from the joy of movement to the sense of inquiry that lies at the heart of both disciplines.

“They are both about getting to the roots of things, exploring the self, and a class in voice and yoga are not dissimilar, given their connection to breath, challenging the body, and other related skills that can be transferred one to the other. Both make you feel nourished.”

She’s also fascinated by how, as someone who enters the space of another character eight times a week, actors disengage from that character.

Indeed, audience members meeting actors after a show are often surprised to learn that the person and the character are different people.

To see Sugarman play out her journey in Arms and the Man, tickets can be ordered online at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.

Province launches new online shopping through LCBO Ontario is offering a new and convenient way to buy alcohol products by introducing online sales through LCBO.com.

As of July 26, LCBO consumers can buy online up to 5,000 different products from across Canada and 85 other countries. Customers can choose to have their order sent to an LCBO store of their choosing for pick up, free of charge, or choose to have it delivered directly to their home, anywhere in Ontario.

Ontario beverage alcohol producers will have access to greater “virtual” shelf space, which increases their reach to consumers who may not always have access to their product in their local store.

This is the government’s latest step to expand options for buying alcohol, including the sale of beer in grocery stores last December, cider this June and the arrival of wine this fall.

This e-commerce launch strengthens LCBO’s ability to generate revenue for Ontarians and continue to fund key public services such as health care and education.

“Online shopping at LCBO.com enables us to offer a convenient customer experience in a changing marketplace. This e-commerce platform draws on our local and international supplier relationships and buying power, efficient supply chain and extensive store network– bringing our customers across Ontario better access to a world of products. This new virtual LCBO store is a natural extension of our in store shopping experience,” noted George Soleas, president and CEO, LCBO. Ontario is expanding access responsibly. In partnership with Canada Post, the LCBO will ensure that online orders are only handled by and delivered to adults

of legal drinking age. Ontario is also developing a comprehensive alcohol policy to support the safe and responsible consumption of alcohol.

Supporting more choice and convenience for consumers, while improving opportunities for businesses, is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and transit in Ontario’s history and is investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.

“This exciting launch of LCBO. com gives consumers greater choice and convenience while increasing opportunities for Ontario’s dynamic beverage alcohol producers.

LCBO’s new e-commerce platform will continue to maintain a high standard of socially responsible distribution, while helping Ontario’s wine, beer and spirits businesses grow and create good, well-paying jobs in communities throughout Ontario,” stated Charles Sousa, Minister of Finance.

Did you know…

• Up to 5,000 individual products are now available online, including exclusives beyond the LCBO’s current catalogue. The total could grow to more than 16,000 over time.

• Consumers can have Canada Post deliver products securely and responsibly directly to their home anywhere in Ontario for $12 per

order plus tax. They can also have them shipped free for pickup at any of the LCBO’s 655 stores. A $50 minimum applies to online orders.

• The LCBO had another record year in 2015–16, with sales of $5.57 billion, up 6.8 per cent year over year. It paid a dividend of $1.935 billion to Ontario, an increase of $130 million.

• Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Québec Premier Philippe Couillard and British Columbia Premier Christy Clark recently committed to greater choice, convenience and expanded access to wines produced in their provinces through online ordering.

• The Premier’s Advisory Council on Government Assets stated in its final report that it strongly supports the LCBO’s e-commerce launch because it will improve consumer choice.
