Council strikes ‘everyone has the right to food’ from food charter Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
North Grenville council voted in favour of striking the sentence ‘everyone has the right to food,’ from the Food Charter for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and Lanark County on July 20. “This is a matter we have been involved in for a number of years,” said Director of Planning and Development Forbes Symon. “Local food is important for communities, economic development and local health.” He explained the Food Charter is a visionary document.
“(It’s) inspirational in nature,” said Symon. He said the charter was published in 2014 and is now making the rounds to municipalities for endorsement. “This document is not intended to tie hands moving forward,” said Symon. “This is merely an indication of support for the document.” He said when the charter was brought before the North Grenville Economic Development Committee, two concerns with the document were brought forth. “The first concern was with

the first line in the document, ‘everyone has the right to food,’” said Symon. “If everyone has the right to food, it becomes public responsibility to ensure everyone has food.” The second concern pertained to the title, which read ‘Food Charter of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.’ The committee, according to Symon, thought the title of the charter should read ‘Food Charter for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.’ “We need to seek clarification on those two points,” said Symon. He had discussions with key players of the document, who were both clear the document is not binding. “Municipalities will not be responsible for providing access to food,” said Symon. “It’s a visionary document, more like a guideline.” He said there should be very careful consideration of the language in the document. Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND “This document is geographic, not corporate,” said Symon. He said the charter is an important document for a number Canadian rock music legend Tom Cochrane put on a great show at the Kemptville Live of reasons. Music Festival on July 24.

Actor talks about wild experiences on Perth Theatrical Walking Tour The road to my playing a number of characters in historical period costume on the streets of Perth began when I first heard about the Classic Theatre Festival through a presentation Laurel Smith (artistic producer and playwright) gave in my high school drama class. She talked about the history of their theatre, the different shows they put on throughout the summer, and the Perth through the Ages historic walking tour, which is now in its second year with a new show called The Maid and the Merchant, running Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. starting at Mathseon House, 11 Gore Street East. I was interested in a job with the theatre as acting is a hobby of mine, and it was a wonderful opportunity to turn it into a part time job. It was my good fortune to audition for and earn the position of historic animator in the walking tour, as well as in the production of the theatre’s very first Lonely Ghosts Walk (which happens every Friday at 8 p.m.). It has been a marvelous adventure so far. I have the privilege to play three characters in the tours: the adventurous, Nancy Drew-inspired Nora Shaw in the walking tour and in the ghost walk; Mrs. Adamson, the harsh owner of the Adamson Inn (oldest building in Perth); and Col. Roderick Matheson, one of the founding fathers of Perth. We started rehearsals in May and I’ve had some interesting experiences since then. For example, in the opening show of the walking tour, the final scene is at the court house, but what we didn’t realize was that the court house is a secure location and civilians aren’t supposed to be there. As I rounded the corner I noticed there were police officers present. One of the officers approached me and asked, “Are you part of the tour, ma’am?” Now the trouble with that was we’re not supposed to break character and interact with anyone who is not in the show, but he was a police officer, so naturally I was a little torn. I nodded my head in response, unsure of what to do. He then gestured me to come over and talk to him. I was trapped; I would be forced to break character, but thankfully a woman on the tour realized what was going on and ran over to talk to the officer. We managed to finish the final scene without being kicked out or arrested, but we weren’t allowed back again, so now
house staff, so while I may not be in costume, I am there to welcome you to the theatre to enjoy the actors performing mainstage shows, which include Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park (running until Aug. 2) and the thriller Wait Until Dark (Aug. 7-30) If you’d like to see me and other members of the troupe perform, you can get your tickets to the morning and evening tours and the Classic Theatre Festival online at classictheatre.ca or call 613-485-6434.

I feel very privileged to be part of these wonderful shows and to work with such very talented people as part of the festival’s youth theatre training program. I also appreciate the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization, Perth Tourism, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation, whose support has given such a great opportunity to me and the other youth troupe members.

Morgan MacDonald plays the Nancy Drew-inspired Nora Shaw in The Maid and the Merchant, running Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m., and, among other roles, the harsh Mrs. Adamson in The Lonely Ghosts Walk. we do the scene on the other side of the court house, in front of the old gaol, on Beckwith Street. That small mishap is not the only thing that has happened on the tours; on a quite recent tour there was an older woman in the audience who was standing in front of a drawer that I had to open in order to take out a letter. This may not sound so bad, but the letter in that drawer is crucial to the plot of the play. In the opening scene, I saw her step in front of the drawer and panic ensued. The entire scene leading up to that moment I was trying to figure out how I would get her out of the way so I could get into the drawer. The moment came for me to open the drawer, but there was no way I could get past her, so with all the dignity I could muster, I did the only thing I could do: I improvised. Sitting on top of the drawer was a cloth napkin, so I picked it up, and being cloth, it folded over itself and I read the non-existent words that lay upon my flimsy “letter!” One day during the final scene at the old gaol, there was a rather noisy garbage truck that prevented myself and the other actors from hearing each others’ cue lines and we were forced to project our voices like never before. During the Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, I change costumes in the restroom in Tim Hortons before my next scene. During one rehearsal I emerged wearing a Jane Austen-era dress with a bonnet, cape, and gloves, only to find a
woman waiting in line to use the washroom. She looked at me with some amusement and curiosity, but asked for no explanation. Embarrassed, I said, “I’m in a show,” and fled the scene. On opening night of the Lonely Ghosts Walk, everything was running smoothly until we reached a scene in which swords are used. They are “preset” by a producton assistant who left them in a specific location, but upon arriving to the scene we discovered that the swords were not there. The actors brilliantly mimed the sword fight and we were no worse for wear. Working on these tours definitely teaches one a little something about humility, because you have to stand out on the streets in 1800s attire and weather the confused and/or amused looks of passersby. As I see the faces of the people driving by I sometimes wish I could explain myself. Some look with shock and confusion while others merely give smug looks as they drive past. Sometimes I am tempted to chase after the cars, in my tails and top hat, and shout, “I am not a crazy person! I am an actor!” Despite some embarrassing, comical and sometimes stressful moments, I can honestly say the tours are a lot of fun and I enjoy going to work everyday. Working with the Classic Theatre Festival has not only taught me more discipline and focus as an actor. I have also learned about some of the history

Canalfest, celebrating the Rideau Canal System in Merrickville, is ‘free’ fun filled days,
August 1, 2 & 3
Come celebrate the rich history of the Rideau Canal as the Merrickville Lions Club once again hosts Canalfest in picturesque Blockhouse Park Merrickville. Central to August’s Civic Holiday weekend, this year’s festivities promise to be fun for the entire family, with live entertainment, clowns, face painting, a craft show and sale as well as voyageur rides to the Rideau bird Sanctuary.
Stonefields Heritage Farm’s grounds and outdoor tent will be the site for a Heritage Garden Party Sunday, Aug. 16 to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and Ottawa. The pair were the successful winners of Stonefields’ second annual Charity Event Giveaway.
Heritage garden party to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters Aug. 16 Ashley Kulp

The lush landscape of Stonefields Heritage Farm in Beckwith will provide the perfect backdrop for the Heritage Garden Party fundraiser in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters Sunday, Aug. 16. The outdoor affair, a joint effort between Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations in Lanark County and Ottawa, runs from 2 to 5 p.m. and was made possible through Stonefields’ second annual Charity Event Giveaway. In 2014, the event destination’s owners Stephanie Brown and Steve Malenfant dreamed up the initiative as a way of giving back to the community. Valued at up to $30,000, the giveaway not only provides the use of Stonefields’ expansive grounds, but a selection of their exclusive vendors, including food and serving staff from Thyme & Again Creative Catering, Temples + Taste and The Mixing Bowl; as well as music and sound equipment from Quality Entertainment; Mastermind Event Rentals will provide linens and décor; dishware will be on loan from Prior Engagements; Mill Street Florist will handle flowers; photography services will be offered by Union Eleven Photographers; and a limousine will be provided by East Coast Limos. This means all proceeds go directly to the charities. The two organizations submitted a joint application earlier this year and received the news they were the lucky slip
drawn in March. According to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County executive director Jennifer Miller, they didn’t expect to be chosen, but soon got to work on an idea for their fundraiser that began with a tour of Stonefields. “It’s so beautiful. I’d never been there before and I understand it’s one of the oldest homesteads in Lanark County,” she said. “It’s stunning and we are really fortunate to have won the giveaway.” “…It was neat to have been chosen and I hope there was something about the way we told our story in that application that struck a chord,” Miller added. After seeing the farm’s grounds, the inspiration for the event wasn’t far behind, said Miller. “We met with Stonefields to come up with an idea and the Ottawa agency has some really great connections and we threw out a few different ideas before settling on this (garden party),” she commented. “It was really based and inspired on how stunning the facility is.” The garden party, to be held outdoors under Stonefields’ tent, will feature different food and refreshments stations, designed for guests to mix and mingle. Also included in the afternoon is live music from local bands as well as an art sale and silent auction. “We received a really large donation of artwork this spring, so we’re going to be selling those pieces and having a silent auction to highlight the event,” Miller noted.
Big Brothers Big Sisters isn’t a government-funded agency so fundraisers such as this are even more vital to providing mentoring opportunities to youth in Lanark County. “Some municipalities do support us now and again and this year we received a bit of funding from Lanark County for the first time, so we have to raise money to do our mentoring programs for kids,” Miller explained, adding that initiatives such as their Bowl for Kids’ Sake, Golf for Kids’ Sake and Jewel’s thrift stores allow them to “diversify their funding sources.” “We have gone from serving 51 kids to 515 kids in eight years. That’s huge,” she continued. “And all of the volunteers mentoring those kids go through interviews and a screening process so we have to have trained social service workers to do that.” Tickets for the garden party are going fast with each Big Brothers Big Sisters organization having a limited number to sell. They are $30 each (or $200 for a table of eight) and are only available in advance. “The great thing is that the whole amount comes back to us and it could be a great afternoon out at a place you haven’t seen before,” Miller said. “… We’re hoping for a good turnout so (Stonefields) can see their investment had an impact.” To purchase them, call 613283-0570 or buy them online at www.bbbso.ca. Stonefields Heritage Farm is located at 1985 9th Line in Beckwith, off of Highway 15.
Opening ceremonies begin at noon Saturday followed by Irish Roots. This trio plays a mix of Celtic, Irish and East Coast, so get your jig on and come on down! Enjoy some eco-fun with Andrea “The Bug Lady” Howard. Whether ‘big on bugs’ or not kids young and old are sure to enjoy The Bug Lady and her amazing Museum in a Suitcase. He’s not Bill Nye, but he’s a science guy. Come meet Merrickville’s own Dr. FourFace. He is children’s entertainment at its very best. Laugh and learn with Dr. FourFace Saturday 10:00am - 12:00pm. Sunday afternoon welcome the return of Big Band Ottawa bringing swinging jazz to Merricklville. Merrickville’s own Off the Cuff is featured Monday afternoon playing all our favourite rock and roll hits (Merrickvile Lions provides some courtesy seating from Event Centre in Elgin). The extremely popular, and free, Voyageur Canoe rides from Rideau Round Table offer hands on the paddle experience out to the Rideau Bird Sanctuary. Along with a lesson in local history from authentically dressed voyageurs, participants enjoy the comradely achievement of a single goal and a very unique view of the Rideau waterway. (Paddles, lifejackets, and lessons are provided.) Of great interest to many, and a returning favourite, see The Rideau Nautical Modellers in the canal basin behind the Merrickville United Church. The Merrickville Lions wish to thank Merrickville/Wolford shops and businesses and the Corporation of the Village of Merrickville/Wolford for their support and for welcoming visitors to Merrickville for this amazing free celebration of all things canal.

The Year of the Grizzly: NDP leader tests campaign on barnstorming tour Desmond Peter Devoy
(Editor’s Note: The Oct. 19 federal election will be the first time our occasional columnist, Desmond Peter Devoy, will vote in a national vote in Canada. After having seen Liberal leader Justin Trudeau in action this past January at a press conference and rally in his London, Ont., hometown, as part of his ongoing series looking at the four major parties running in English-speaking Canada, Devoy caught up with New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair as he made a pre-campaign blitz of several ridings in southern Ontario, including London.) Better a wheel falls off the bus now, during the dress rehearsal, than during the big show when the election gets called. In the midst of a hot summer, politicians usually take to the barbecue circuit to connect with voters, and trot out trial balloons. But for NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, his recent pre-election tour of southern Ontario was a chance to do a dry run for this fall’s federal vote. He’s come a long way from this time last year when Justin Trudeau was relishing his poll numbers – an extended summer fling that has since turned cold, with the Liberals now languishing in third place. It’s been a big change for Justin. In his book, The Presidents and The

NDP supporters applaud the arrival of their leader, Centre on July 23. Mulcair was on a pre-campaign Tom Mulcair, to the stage at the London Convention blitz in southern Ontario. Prime Ministers: Washington and Ottawa Face to Face: the Myth of Bilateral Bliss 1867-1982, author Lawrence Martin wrote of an interesting, and somewhat prophetic exchange between Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and U.S. President Richard Nixon at a summit meeting in Ottawa in April of 1972. “Nixon…had telephoned the prime minister on Christmas Day (1971) to
congratulate him on the birth of his first son Justin, and now he raised a glass and said: ‘Tonight we’ll dispense with the formalities. I’d like to toast the future Prime Minister of Canada – Justin Trudeau.’ Should Justin ever become prime minister, Trudeau replied, ‘I hope he has the grace and skill of the president.’” Until recently, it seemed that Nix-
on had been quite prescient, as Justin Trudeau’s undoubted charisma gave him a strong lead in the polls. Prime Minister Stephen Harper seemed to be merely marking time, saying little in order to avoid making waves, hoping to cruise to success in October on his past record. He even opted out of participating in public debates (run by a consortium of broadcasters: CBC, CTV and Global)
just as his British counterpart, David Cameron had done, during the British general election this past May. Trailing in the polls was NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the intellectual pit bull, so skilled at skewering Harper with his prosecutorial questioning. Being Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition seemed to be the perfect fit for Mulcair, as he always held the prime minister accountable for his actions. Nobody expected the NDP, with their traditional tax-and-spend policies, to come from behind in the election race. But then in May, Rachel Notley seized power for the NDP in Alberta, cannily positioning her party slightly to the leftof-centre. Mulcair’s popularity rose, as he continually badgered the prime minister about what he saw as the civil liberty curtailments of Bill C-51. The NDP leader shed some of his gravitas, and began smiling more in public. This easygoing approach contrasts greatly with Mulcair’s traditional methods, when one of his mottos was: “Hit to hurt.” His quick temper wasn’t because of personal aggrandizement, but was rather the result of his impatience to right perceived wrongs suffered by ordinary citizens. Mulcair’s wife, Catherine Pinhas, has said that her husband is kind and shy, but adds: “Thank God” he has a quick temper, as issues emerge that Mulcair needs to address. “There See MULCAIR page 6

covered many of the causes that NDP supporters are passionate about, but which detractors feel are unaffordable. If elected, he would increase the federal minimum wage to $15 and make child-care available at $15 per day, per child. He’d reduce the retirement age from 67, back down to 65. He’d enhance public transit and crumbling infrastructure and make housing more affordable. The biggest cheer of the evening came when he promised to halt Canada Post’s plan to stop mailbox delivery and to restore it to those who’d recently lost it. Even though he said he’d continue to work with “our friends in labour,” Mulcair is no far-left ideologue. He pointed out that “small business creates 80 per cent of new jobs,” so he promised to reduce the small business tax burden from 11 per cent to nine per cent. “For the first time in our country’s history,” he noted, “children will be worse off (when they become adults) than their parents.” Mulcair wants to “repair the damage that Stephen Harper has done and set Canada on the right path.” Pausing for effect, he smiled: “Okay…the LEFT path.” Mulcair is an honest, caring, hard-working intelligent man, who works tirelessly to make the world a fairer, better place. After his speech, he allowed ample time for glad-handing and selfie-taking, an apparently mandatory ritual at today’s political rallies. In 1992 (and to a lesser extent, 1996) independent candidate Ross Perot split the rightwing vote in the U.S., taking important votes away from incumbent President George H. W. Bush and, in 1996, Bob Dole. Some claim that these ‘lost’ votes were sufficient to put Democrat Bill Clinton ‘over the top’, and secure electoral victory. In the 2014 Ontario provincial election, the ‘anyone but Tim Hudak’ camp helped to propel Kathleen Wynne back into the premier’s seat. In 2015, Trudeau and Mulcair could split the left-of-centre vote, leaving the way clear for Harper to regain his crown. On the other hand…If Thomas Mulcair had remained moodily in the background, it’s possible that Richard Nixon’s prediction about Justin Trudeau, made 43 years ago, might have come to pass. Now, with the NDP leader re-energized and regenerated, 2015 could turn out to be, surprisingly, The Year of the Grizzly, after all.

are things that happen that somebody has to be mad and say it and change it.” Even when he breezed past parliamentary security on June 13, 2013, and asked an RCMP officer: “Don’t you know who I am?” (Mulcair later apologized), he wasn’t trumpeting his own personal importance, but had mistakenly thought he’d been recognized as he entered. (Other politicians have attempted to breach Commons security including, in 2010, a golf-shirt-wearing NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre, now the employment and social development minister.) Still, it’s no wonder that, in mid-1990s Quebec, Mulcair was crowned with the nickname “The Grizzly,” as he constantly launched unrelenting attacks against his separatist foes at the National Assembly. In the Oct. 19 federal election, 338 seats are being contested, more than a third of them in Ontario. On July 20, Mulcair began an eight-day swing through Ontario, and on July 23, he pulled into London. Before his arrival, one wondered how Mulcair’s hustings spiel would measure up to Justin Trudeau’s sojourn in the Forest City. During that visit, it had seemed that Trudeaumania had been born anew, as the Liberal leader charmed and cajoled an adoring crowd at the Ukrainian Centre hall. Could Mulcair be equally effective, galvanizing an apathetic electorate to take a chance on Tom? As Mulcair had to visit 18 cities during his eight-day tour, his campaign was, out of necessity, comparatively rushed. Back in January, Trudeau had been attending the Liberal winter caucus in London, and had ample time to hold a noon press conference midweek. This gave the media enough time to collate their information and present it on the evening news. Mulcair had no time to meet separately with the media. As he had to visit two (or more) cities daily, the town first visited each day became the default locale for news dissemination. This happened on July 23 in Amherstburg, Ont., when Mulcair responded to an earlier Trudeau announcement from Winnipeg, where the Liberal leader had nixed talk of a formal coalition with the NDP. Mulcair replied that: “We’ve always worked with others in the past,” and that defeating the Conservatives remained a priority. Even though participants
of Mulcair’s hour-long rally had been asked to pre-register, there was no cross-referencing at the door of London’s Convention Centre, as Trudeau’s troops had done. Nonetheless, both parties were in possession of all attendees’ email addresses, which were used for constant follow-up contact, as the parties solicited volunteers and input. The warm-up act of the evening was Irene Mathyssen, the MP for London-Fanshawe, who continued with the digital-age barrage. The event was being streamed live online, so she urged the boisterous crowd to take out their cell phones yet again. “I know you have them,” she joked. “They’ve been flashing at me all evening.” She also urged their friends at home to watch. “Please share every post,” Mathyssen continued, and if tweeting, “include the hashtag #TMforPM.” Twice during Mathyssen’s speech, the NDP sign which fronted the lectern, fell down, and a technician finally made adequate repairs. Was this an omen, a portent that the wheels would fall off the NDP bus? More likely, it was simply a consequence of props being hurriedly moved from one location to the next, day after day. Supporters, holding aloft two-sided posters (Tom Mulcair NDP/Ready for Change), were politely asked not to hold their signs over their heads during Mulcair’s speech, as that would impair visual access to the teleprompter, at the back of the room. Which begs the question: why would Mulcair want/need such a device, when he reputedly has such an agile, quick mind? (One can understand former actor and U.S. President Ronald Reagan being comfortable with being prompted, but not the NDP’s intellectual dynamo.) Admittedly, spending eight long, event-filled days campaigning could cause one’s mind to go occasionally blank, and the teleprompter might have been just the subtle device needed to bring one back on track. After numerous build-up speeches, Mulcair made his entrance, looking slightly rumpled yet dignified, a man who would look equally at home in a truck stop or a boardroom. He lacks Trudeau’s innate charisma, yet he projected an approachable likeability, and even made a humorous and slightly self-deprecating remark about his one-off “job” as a weatherman during a recent visit to a Hamilton television station. Mulcair’s 30-minute speech

Keep your pets cool and safe this summer with campaign quickly become much hotter than the temperature outside. When your pet is left unattended in a hot vehicle, it’s not just uncomfortable for them – it’s life threatening. Dogs in particular have very limited ability to sweat. Even a short period in a hot environment can cause suffering and distress and could result in brain damage or death. Excessive panting, drooling and listlessness are signs of heatstroke in animals. If you witness these signs in your pet, seek veterinary attention immediately, move the animal to a cool area and offer it drinking water. This summer, take the OSPCA #nohotpets pledge to not leave your pet in a vehicle. You can also help spread the word by tweeting with the #nohotpets hashtag. “Our pets depend on us for their health and safety. I encourage all Ontarians to sign the no hot pets pledge and remember that when you’re out taking advantage of the attractions and activities that Ontario has to offer this summer – don’t forget
Prevent crime at your home The following are tips from Lanark County Crime Stoppers to help prevent your home being the target of a crime: • Lock all doors and windows before leaving the house. • Do not display gifts where they can be seen from a window or doorway. • Before going out in the evening, turn on lights and a radio so the house looks occupied. • If going on an extended vacation, get neighbours to watch your house, shovel snow, pick up newspapers and park their car in the driveway
from time to time. • Make sure items like DVD players, stereos, cameras, microwaves, etc. are marked with a unique identification number to help police recover them in case of theft. • Be wary of strangers coming to the door asking for charitable donations. Ask for identification, if the donations are tax deductible, and how the funds are going to be used. If you aren’t satisfied with the answer, do not contribute. • Beware of package deliveries where the couriers have the wrong address. Write down tag numbers of suspicious delivery attempts.
your pet – bring your pet with you when you leave your vehicle or leave them at home,” said Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. If you come across an unattended vehicle with an animal inside that appears to be in distress, act quickly and report it to the OSPCA at 310-OSPCA
(7722). You can also contact your local police service or your local OSPCA. Leaving a pet unattended in a vehicle could result in charges being laid against you under the OSPCA Act and/ or the Criminal Code of Canada. For more information on the No Hot Pets campaign, visit support.ontariospca.ca.

The summer means spending more quality time out and about with pets, but each year across the province, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) receives hundreds of reports of animals left unattended in parked vehicles. When driving with your pet, remember they need to go with you when you leave your vehicle. If your pet cannot accompany you, make sure to leave them at home were they will be safe, cool and comfortable. “Leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle is one of the most irresponsible decisions a pet owner can make. Your pet’s safety is your responsibility. Placing them in a dangerous environment could not only be harmful, it could result in the animal owner being charged as well as being fatal to the animal,” stated Ontario SPCA chief inspector Connie Mallory. “Let’s make this summer a happy one for all of our family members, including our pets.” On a hot day, the temperature inside your vehicle will

Hot enough for you?
h, summer. For many it’s the best time of year with balmy temperatures and lazy days at the cottage, but this week, those temperatures are no laughing matter. Due to the scorching conditions forecasted for this week (where the humidex could push past 40 degrees Celsius), the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has issued a heat alert. Just like extreme cold weather conditions can have an effect on your health, so too can the high heat. It can cause heat exhaustion, dehydration, heatstroke and quite possibly, death. According to the health unit, seniors, those with chronic illnesses, children and individuals who work outside for prolonged periods are most at risk, but it’s important for us all to exercise caution during these heat waves. Just like you wouldn’t enjoy an hour-long walk outside in frigid -30 temperatures, you shouldn’t do that in these situations either. So what can you do? Make sure to drink plenty of water, wear light-coloured, loose fitting clothing, keep the lights turned down, eat foods with high water content, visit the pool or beach to cool off, draw the shades at
home, avoid heavy meals and turning on the oven (or using electric lights), but essentially, take it easy. For those who work outside during the summer that can be easier said than done, however, they should take extra breaks, seek shade and have plenty of fluids on hand. Pets should also be considered during heat alerts. Make sure you leave them at home with plenty of water, rather than bringing them with you to sit in the car. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) recently launched its No Hot Pets Campaign for the summer, urging people to report pets they see locked up in hot cars. They encourage the use of social media, tagging photos with #nohotpets to hammer the message home. The same rules apply to your children. You wouldn’t sit inside a hot car, so don’t make your loved ones suffer either. If you find you are suffering symptoms from extreme heat such as nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, severe headaches, convulsion, difficulty breathing or fever, seek medical attention immediately. By staying safe and keeping certain tips in mind, we can all beat the heat this summer.
Audrey shared with Mary her specific ritual for special prayers For reasons unknown to me at the time, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she felt needed to be sent to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime. I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then and her short retort made it perfectly clear why. “Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.” And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug, and when I

asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned at Sunday School that there was ‘safety in numbers’. I had no idea what she meant. But Audrey, who did many special favours for me, had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the why’s and the wherefore’s was not to concern me. And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for things, which had nothing to do with me whatsoever. This could be anything from being allowed
to wear high heels, to finding money for a store-bought bra, to being asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church. I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck, since we were Lutherans, but there we were one night, both on our knees by the bed and Audrey in barely a whisper, asking God to find someone to ask her to the strawberry social at the United Church. Well, any doubts I may have been harbouring were soon cast aside when a young man from the Barr Side Road asked her to the social! I couldn’t believe it! And Audrey leaned over to me after hanging up the phone and said, “See...safety in numbers.” Long before Audrey got out of public school, we prayed that when the time came, she would

graduate from the Entrance Class. Well, I thought that was a needless prayer, since she was just about the smartest one at the Northcote School! But she wanted to be sure, as those farm girls who didn’t make it out of the Entrance Class, ended up
doing housework for the rich people in Renfrew. Audrey couldn’t think of a worse fate! More than once I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying and
I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on what Audrey was praying for that night. See MARY page 9

My sister poked me in the ribs, which was my cue to say, “please God, hear our prayer.” As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t bring up one word Audrey had said. She had to repeat the prayer, which didn’t please her one bit. Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending on what she had on her ‘want list’. That’s when I lost track of what she was praying for. I could see no reason why she had to go into such detail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, as long as you let God know it was you, He would take care of the rest...all you had to do, I thought then, was to think of the

prayer and that was as good as saying it. However, I was never able to get Audrey into that way of thinking about prayer. She said too, it would be much better, if after the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this was just another way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for. And then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen”. Well, did that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t fin-
ished, and I had jumped the gun with the Amen, and so we had to say the prayer all over again. My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose. It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God and she didn’t need a fidgeting sixyear-old sister to interfere. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

have identified on a list as areas of high physician need. A number of communities in eastern Ontario are on the list – Port Hope, Prescott, and Pembroke, for example. The problem is many people mistakenly believe if their community is on the list it will make attracting doctors easier. With the province cutting from 40 to 20 the number of physicians who can join these models, it will not be easier to attract doctors to
your community. There are nearly 200 communities across the province on the list so South Dundas and Smiths Falls are competing with these other communities – places like Kitchener and parts of Toronto – for doctors. The reality is there is a need for family doctors in communities across the province.

The Merchant of Venice: a summer classic that outdoes itself
Submitted photo
Laughter, drama and pageantry at Full Circle Theatre: BarnDoor Productions’ The Merchant of Venice caps a season of exciting theatre with a piece of classic drama filled with comedy, dram, colourful costumes and exciting performances, as the show concludes Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. this week. ture of silent moroseness in black velvet, a man whose disaffection with life leads him to a foolish bargain and a near calamitous end. The real-life married couple of Chris and Kristy Angel are Bassanio and Portia, two of Shakespeare’s most intense lovers. There’s no doubt that Bassanio is in love with Portia, but it is a touch of true Shakespeareanism that he first makes sure that she is rich. Told that her new husband has borrowed a staggering 3,000 ducats that is now overdue, Portia replies “What, no more? Pay the petty debt and be done!” Bassanio faints into his friend’s arms as he realizes how much money he has married into. Portia, of course, is the Bard’s protofeminist character. Calling herself “unschooled, untaught,” she then (spoiler alert, if you didn’t take Grade 11 English) disguises herself as a man and, dressed in lawyer’s robes and an hilariously false mustache and goatee, runs legal rings around the men in the play in the famous courtroom scene. Kristy goes from intense passion with soliloquies like “How all other passions do fleet to air” to grave demeanour with the legendary “The quality of mercy is not strained” – a speech doubly difficult because it is so well known. And then the pair cap of the play with a final scene that is as much fun as the courtroom scene was dramatic. This leaves the character that, to modern eyes, has become the play’s central character – and still one of the theatre’s most controversial. Joe Laxton gives us a Shylock that goes from the height of rage to the depth of despair. Told of his daughter’s elopement with much of his treasure, he wails “A diamond lost…” and we think it’s his daughter, “…cost me two thousand ducats in Genoa” – and we know where his mind is. “Hath not a Jew eyes, hands, organs, dimensions?” he asks, in Shakespeare’s famous speech that must have shocked the English playgoers in 1596. Then, in the courtroom scene, when Portia has kicked the legal props from under him and taken away his wealth, his house and his religion, his final “I…am…content” twists the audience again and the man who
was the villain of the piece is now the one we pity. He’s a good playwright, that young Shakespeare kid. The Merchant of Venice is a play of many levels and BarnDoor Productions’ new staging of the show captures them all in a lively, exciting and energetic style. Each of the productions in this past 20th anniversary season has been hailed as some variation on “the best show ever.” That the first audience comment on this final production of the season was “You’ve outdone yourself!” gives an indication of the strength of this summer
classic from a company that has been presenting classic theatre for 20 years. The Merchant of Venice concludes its run this week with performances July 30, 31 and Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 2 at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students just $10. To reserve, call 613-267-1884. Cash at the performance is requested. All performances are at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park.

The first comment from an audience member on opening night was “You’ve outdone yourself!” Coming at the culmination of a season that drew superlative comments for each production, that’s high praise. The show is BarnDoor Productions’ The Merchant of Venice, which opened last Friday at Full Circle Theatre in Perth. William Shakespeare’s 1596 comedy is one of his most challenging and controversial and Perth’s original community theatre takes on the challenge in fine style. First up for the audience is a multilevel set that provides a “classic” backdrop to the action of the play. It’s based on a small 15th century church in Venice, where the play is set. With multiple entrances, the famous Shakespearean “inner stage” and lots of playing space, it lets the action flow smoothly from scene to scene and gives a few surprises of its own. Next to hit the viewer is a set of stunning original costumes for the show. Designed by Marilyn Bird, they recreate some of the fashions of Renaissance Italy in brocades, velvets and satiny textures that flow and shimmer. Set in a period where both sexes wore flowing gowns, the costumes provide a stateliness to the actors’ movements that give the show authenticity. Finally, against a soundscape of Renaissance lute and vocal music, the cast of ten provide intense, energetic performances of some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful – and most difficult – words. John Stephen and Brandon Halladay are Salanio and Salario – the Salads, as they are nicknamed in Shakespearean circles. They provide the necessary information for the plot in fine style, aided by the comic incongruence of their sizes. Mr. Stephen is a smaller man; Mr. Halladay is a mountain and the show gets lots of fun from that. Ian Jenner’s turn as Launcelot Gobbo provides some of the most fun in the show, aided by John Stephen again, doubling as Old Gobbo. The physical fun of their meeting includes some roughhouse and some pratfalls that keep the audience laughing. Julia Bryant doubles as two-thirds of the female cast, playing both the wisecracking Nerissa and the earnestly-inlove Jessica. In truth, the production has been trimmed for both time and convenience and the love story of Jessica and Lorenzo has been pared away to the bare necessities – Lorenzo never actually appears! However, the play suffers not at all for that, moving quickly and clearly along. Scott Duncan is given, not just double, but triple duty, playing the fast-talking Gratiano, the bombastic Prince of Morocco and the vain-glorious Prince of Aragon. As Gratiano, he gets his girl, but as the two Princes, he goes away emptyhanded, but the audience gets a full portion of fun from all three. That leaves the four central characters to the plot, all of them intense and difficult roles. David Bird is Antonio, the merchant of Venice, whose generosity nearly costs him his life. Bird is a pic-
Door-to-door mail delivery not an election issue, despite NDP promise The vision of the intrepid letter carrier delivering mail in snow, sleet, rain, wind and scorching heat will soon be assigned to the history books in Canada. Door-to-door mail delivery is being phased out and in the near future Canadians who live in urban centres and still have their mail delivered to the door will be assigned a box at a common location in their neighbourhood. The much maligned “Community Mail Box” is in our future, whether we like it or not. With a federal election looming in October the rhetoric is heating up and the campaign ads are being rolled out. In the coming weeks we are going to be inundated with advertising, especially from the ruling Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats. Right now the parties are just warming up their public campaigns. Recently I have been disturbed to see the matter of community mailboxes being turned into a campaign issue by the opposition and other federal parties. I totally understand that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is going to bear the brunt of criticism for everything that is, or is perceived to be, wrong in the country as well as inside his under fire government. That’s just the way it is. Prime ministers are always on the firing line and given the Senate scandal and so many other issues of the day it is little wonder this government is being assailed from every direction. So far one of the only things Harper and company haven’t been accused of is starting this summer’s storm of wildfires in western Canada. But give the critics time. It’s early days yet! As someone who follows the news and events of the day religiously and has a weekly opportunity to comment on some of them, I can’t let the door-todoor mail delivery firestorm pass without making some observations. This is a pig in a poke if there ever was one. And it certainly isn’t down to Stephen Harper either. I would much rather examine the facts and try to make an intelligent determination relative to door-to-door mail delivery. The reality is that two-thirds of Canadians already receive their mail at central distribution points, including the everexpanding legion of community mailboxes. So, why should all those millions of people subsidize a failing system which, like it or not, has become an unaffordable luxury in the developed world.
Reflections By Jeff maguire
My wife and I reside in an urban neighbourhood and we have received our mail at the door since door-to-door delivery was instituted in Carleton Place in the 1970s. Those were heady days for Canada Post. Courier services had not hit their stride, fax machines had yet to be introduced, long distance calling was expensive and, above all, the Internet was unknown. Massive change Oh how things have changed! Courier services have taken a huge bite out of postal services across the developed world. In Canada Post’s case it was a matter of “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Purolator Inc., one of the best known courier services in this country, is now 91 per cent owned by Canada Post Corporation. While the fax machine still has its function the vast majority of correspondence in Canada and the developed world is via the worldwide web. Today even email is being outstripped by instant message services. People talk to each other by text message or they can directly interface via newer services, including some that allow you to see who you are talking to and what they are doing via built-in cameras. In today’s world you don’t even have to buy special occasion greeting cards. You can find them online and send them free of charge. The only obstacle is that you will likely be bombarded with advertising as you navigate whatever website you choose. Or you can step up to a higher-level service and pay a nominal price for a more sophisticated instant greeting card. Letters used to be the stock and trade of our society. Before the advent of the telephone the postal service or telegrams was the only reliable way to communicate with family, friends or businesses in nearby places or more distant locations. Communications methods of all sorts gradually improved. Telephone rates slowly became more competitive and eventually boomed with the arrival of firms who offer cut-rate long distance packages. Then came the biggest development of all, the Internet explo-
sion. For consumers the world is now their oyster. Leading the way are instant messaging services. Today most people can’t go anywhere without taking their handheld device and that in turn has led to a plethora of new social problems, something I won’t go into detail about here. My only comment is that handheld devices have turned far too many of us into extremely rude people. Postal services worldwide have come under tremendous pressure as surface mail, which was once their primary source of income, continues to dry up. In most developed nations surface mail is now comprised of advertising materials, bank statements and some government communications. Even government cheques are now being direct deposited and soon that method of delivery will be the dominant force. All of the factors I have referred to – and there are no doubt some I have missed – means that surface mail, irreverently called “snail mail”, has taken a massive hit. Therefore national postal services have had to join the current trends or be trampled under. Great Britain’s venerable Royal Mail swam successfully through a sea of red ink before new overnight and same day delivery services hit their stride. The firm is now profitable again. The same scenario has played out with Canada Post which, aided by faster delivery including Purolator, is working its way into the black. Meanwhile the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is behind a national campaign to halt the proliferation of group boxes. They are battling for union jobs of course and as a result they also oppose privatization of postal services. An understandable reaction on their part. But it is a stance that fails to take into account the new normal. Door-to-door mail delivery simply isn’t a money-maker. In fact it is a major money loser which is exactly why community mailboxes are going to take over everywhere in this country eventually, unions or no unions! We’ll miss it Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a fan of community boxes. Selfishly we enjoy being among the one-third of Canadians who currently have our mail delivered to the door. In a perfect world it would be nice if we could keep this service. We will definitely

Despite the heat advisory July 26, people gathered at the 20th annual Herbfest at Almonte’s Herb Garden for its final run. Now, after two decades of hosting the festival, the Herb Garden has passed the torch to the Carp Farmers’ Market for the years to come. Attendees this year were treated to live entertainment, plant sales and vendors serving up everything from ice cream to lemonade to help beat the heat. Left, Connie Malloy’s booth led guests right to it with its fresh lavender scent.

this service. We will definitely miss our mail carriers who are just nice folks trying to make a living. I have nothing against the union either. But door-to-door mail delivery isn’t an election issue, nor should it be. Any bean counter anywhere will quickly tell you that the old system has failed and is being replaced, albeit at a ridiculously slow rate in many cases. The only people who refuse to acknowledge that fact are some of those who continue to receive their mail in this fashion and the union which delivers it. If the Tories are fortunate enough to
Kirkpatrick, director of marketing for the Canadian Cancer Society in Ontario. “And those friends egging you on with donations will also be supporting a great cause – helping people with cancer to confront their fears.” The Fearless Challenge, in its second year, is throwing down the gauntlet at the feet of all Canadians, with the hope of engaging people from all communities, including those who may never have supported a charitable cause. No fear is too big, too small, too silly or too squeamish.

be re-elected the community mailbox program will go ahead. And believe me, no matter what some of them are saying the community mailbox is also the course of action a Liberal government would follow. It is possible the NDP, caught up in the euphoria of their newfound popularity (bred largely from discontent with the governing Conservatives and the wayward Liberal Party) may try to hold up this process in order to win some more votes. Eventually though they too will be persuaded that this process is inevitable. Free door-to-door mail delivery simply isn’t viable in this day and age
and the tide in the direction of community mailboxes is irreversible. Chin up though folks. Group mail boxes aren’t the end of the world. Most are just down the street. And who knows, maybe instead of being glued to their portable devices many Canadians will be forced to look up for a few minutes, walk the short distance to the community mailbox and interact directly with their neighbours. Pie in the sky? Well, it’s only a thought really! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

From creepy crawlers to using public restrooms, nine out of 10 Canadians admit to having fears no matter how irrational, and two-thirds have actively tried to get rid of them, according to a new survey for the Fearless Challenge, a fundraising initiative launched by the Canadian Cancer Society. Snakes are the most common fear among both sexes, with 46 per cent of women and 33 per cent of men recoiling at the thought of meeting one. Turns out clowns are getting a bad rap – twice as many Canadians are scared of getting a bad haircut than meeting Bozo, 11 per cent versus six per cent. The top five fears are snakes (40 per cent), heights (34 per cent), public speaking (33 per cent), spiders (31 per cent) and natural disasters (30 per cent). Surprises include the fact that young people are definitely not fearless – 68 per cent of Canadians 18 to 34 say they worry about their fears, compared with 43 per cent of those 55-plus. Overall, 62 per cent of Canadian adults have taken steps to rid themselves of their fears, using various approaches, but the survey shows the most popular and effective tactic is confronting them head-on, with a 72 per cent success rate. “The Fearless Challenge is all about confronting a fear in a fun way that can be shared with friends,” says Mike

Garage sale to benefit LAWS set for Aug. 15 in Perth This Week’s Pets
A garage sale to benefit LAWS, organized by Evergreen Concepts, will be held Saturday, Aug. 15 from 8 a.m. to noon at 420 Leachs Road (corner of Highway 7). Donations of gently-used treasures will be accepted until Saturday, Aug. 8. Please call 613-267-6721 for more information.
This week’s featured pets Kittens, kittens, kittens At LAWS we have a large variety of long, short, medium hair, orange, black, grey, brown, white, and apricot kittens. Some came with moms, some were born at the shelter some were just dropped off without moms. Staff and volunteers helped with bottlefeeding many of them. Some required a bottle or syringe with special cat formula every hour. More than two-dozen sweet little curious faces are now looking to go home soon. They are small rambunctious, playful, purring and absolutely adorable healthy creatures. We’re sure they’ll make you smile every day and will get you hopping through your house to chase them. Most of them are litter box trained already, love to eat and love to goof around with each other. It’s fun for you and your family to see them grow into adulthood. Choosing two of them is no more work than having one. They keep each other company, entertained and exercised while you’re away at work. All kittens come with spay/neuter vouchers. Please come to meet them at LAWS. We’re open for cat adoptions daily between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The following is the first in a series of monthly articles on local museums within Lanark County. It is being offered in partnership with the Lanark County Museums Network. I volunteer at the Middleville and District Museum, and I hear it all the time: “My goodness! What an amazing place! This is my first time here, and I’m coming back next week with my cousin... she’ll just love it!’ There’s a reason for that kind of enthusiasm. The museum’s collection of local historical items is unique, because each and every item has been donated, and comes complete with family stories about who made it and how it was passed down through the generations. There’s the actual buggy that brought mail to the district’s settlers a hundred winters ago; the hand tools used by the local carpenter to build furniture, wagons and houses in the days before power; plows, seeders, scythes and other early farm-
ing equipment that made it possible for people to survive; and an actual settlers’ cabin, completely furnished, that brings the realities of long ago daily life vividly to mind. Think about it: in those days, most women and girls knew how to spin wool or flax into yarn – but few of them understood the complexities of weaving, nor did they have room in their tiny houses for a bulky loom. So, sitting near the stove, the women would spin yarn during the long cold winters. In spring, as soon as the muddy roads became passable, the itinerant weaver would drive up, his loom taken apart and stacked in his wagon. He would stop at each household on his route, asking if there was weaving to be done. He’d be invited in, given the skeins of yarn that had been spun, and told the family’s cloth requirements. He’d unload his loom, peg it all back together, and set to work – perhaps for a few days, maybe for a week or so. The family would give him room
and board, and as he worked he’d tell them the news of the families he’d stopped at along the way. When he’d finished the weaving, he’d dismantle his loom and put it back in his wagon; the family would pay him for his work, and he’d proceed to the next household. Want to see an actual loom that travelled that road? The Middleville Museum has a travelling loom – it still works – complete with the story of the weaver who owned it and his photograph. And that’s just skimming the surface. The museum has an amazing collection of local family histories, including land-ownership records, family Bibles, and genealogies. Much of it has been computerized, and the information can be made available to descendants and other interested people. Please call and make an appointment with David Murdoch, who volunteers his knowledge of family histories at the museum. As well, once each month of the season, the museum hosts

On Sunday, Aug. 9, we’ve invited Dan Hagan, a ‘safecracker,’ to open our enormous old safe (a safe that once belonged to the municipal hall in Middleville) whose combination has been lost in time. What will we find? Perhaps some old money, no longer legal tender? A gold watch that was to be given to an employee on his retirement? Stock certificates for a defunct corporation? You never know. Come and watch with bated breath! And remember that the museum has several items for sale: tickets for Little Princess - Poster_Layout 1 19/06/2015 4:43 AM Page 1
the annual Quilt Raffle (to be drawn at the Fall Fair in September); Claudia Smith’s wonderful collection of stories, gathered from descendants of this area’s original settlers; museum T-shirts, which always attract attention; and several other books and monographs of local historic interest.

Emergency preparedness tips for summer storm season from Hydro One As the temperature rises along with the humidity so does the risk of summer thunderstorms. Hydro One wants to remind customers of the importance of being prepared for an extended outage. The company created an emergency preparedness video to educate customers on what they should have in a 72hour kit at home. “Our Grid Control Centre monitors weather across the province so that we can prepare and have crews in position
to respond to any outages,” said Tom Kydd, vice-president, lines and forestry, Hydro One. “While we do everything we can to keep the lights on and get them back on should they go out, we want to help educate our customers on what they should have on-hand in case of an extended outage as well as the outage notification tools available to them.” For outage updates, visit Hydro One’s Storm Center or download the
free mobile app available for smartphones and tablet devices. These tools allow customers to check the status of power outages anywhere in Hydro One’s service area and receive helpful tips and news. Last winter, Hydro One announced the launch of a pilot of its Outage Notification tool. This new service allows Hydro One residential customers to register in advance to receive proactive, personalized text messages or email
alerts about outages that may be affecting their homes, cottages, farms or small businesses. More than 132,000 residential customers in the following areas were invited to register for the pilot through Hydro One’s MyAccount portal for the new Outage Notification service: Alliston, Dundas, Orangeville, Bolton, Guelph, Thorold and Simcoe. The pilot area will be expanded over the next month to include most of the province.

Ben and Anita Taves of Kingsville, Ont., are posing with pride alongside their mint original 1968 Buick Wildcat 2-door hardtop with a 430 cubic inch V8 under the hood. This car attracts admiration wherever they go. The photo was taken at the Sun Parlor Home for Seniors Classic Car Show in Leamington on Thursday, June 11. The event was a great success with 46 vintage vehicles showing up for the viewing pleasure of the Sun Parlor residents, who were thrilled to see so many vehicles from years gone by. Among the organizers of this event were Ben and Anita’s son Dave Taves, himself a great classic car enthusiast with several automotive projects on the go at home, and his wife Michelle, who works at the Sun Parlor Home. Twenty years ago, Ben and his son Dave drove to Ottawa to purchase a 1955 Chevrolet sta-
tion wagon. When they got there, they discovered the vehicle needed too much work. Heading toward home empty-handed, they picked up a copy of the Auto Trader and saw an ad in the Hamilton area for a low-mileage 1968 Buick Wildcat 2-door hardtop with the original blue finish and 32,000 miles on the odometer. Anita bought it as a Christmas present for her husband Ben in 1995, and at Christmas this year, they will celebrate twenty years of ownership. Buick has used the “Wildcat” name for five concept vehicles, three in the early ‘50s, one in 1980
and another in 1997. The 1953 Wildcat I, 1954 Wildcat II, and 1955 Wildcat III were all designed under the guidance of Harley Earl, chief stylist at GM for many years. The Wildcat I and II still exist today. The 1953 Wildcat I appeared the same year that Buick switched from straight eight to V8 engines in the Super and Roadmaster series (the Special kept the straight eight for one more year). Buick could now compete with the new overhead-valve V8s launched in 1949 by Cadillac and Oldsmobile. As a regular production car, the
Wildcat name goes back to 1962, when GM unleashed this luxury hardtop in the Buick Invicta series. So popular was the Wildcat that it replaced the Invicta name on nearly all Buicks for 1963, and the Invicta name was soon dropped. For 1968, the Wildcat had sculptured side trim reminiscent of the sweep-spear styling of Buicks in the ‘50s. The last year for Wildcat was 1970, after which it was replaced by the Buick Centurion. All Buick Wildcats are highly prized collectibles today. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

ture. The update can be installed by any authorized FCA retailer or by a product owner themselves by logging onto www. driveuconnect.com and following the ‘software update’ link. This site also supports less critical updates to FCA entertainment systems so checking it from time to time isn’t a bad idea, especially if your vehicle has experienced any audio system or connectivity problems. While this event makes for great news coverage and video (you can find the video online at www.wired.com), it really doesn’t yet represent any great risk to vehicle drivers. The talent it took was almost immeasurable (one of the two geeks was a former National Security Agency employee). And the value of the end result didn’t come anywhere close to the resources it took to deliver it. If the vehicle belonged to a high profile political target it might have been a different tale. So the average consumer
really shouldn’t lose any sleep. But one consumer upon hearing of this story suggested that automakers should offer something that cell-phones have for years; a setting to disconnect it from any wireless data networks such as required when travelling on a commercial airplane. As for our two hackers, they got exactly what they were after: national media attention in advance of an electronics security conference they are scheduled to appear at next month. On Sunday, Aug. 2, the Automotion Car Show lands at the Blockhouse Island in Brockville and the 51st version of the Chelrod Car Club Show ‘n’ Shine happens at the Hendrick Farm, 165 Old Chelsea Road in Chelsea, Quebec.

Cherokee and from a distance of 10 miles (they could have done it from the far side of the globe) were able to activate the AC system, adjust the audio volume, turn on the wipers and washers, disable the transmission and brakes, lock and unlock the doors, turn the steering wheel and shut off the engine. The hapless ‘driver’ in the vehicle was a volunteer that knew about and agreed to the test and while some of the hacks took place while the Jeep was travelling at low speeds in an empty parking lot, most of them happened while the vehicle was travelling on a busy multilane highway in a large urban centre. It would be interesting if this volunteer will face any unsafe driving charges. Before anyone relaxes and thanks their lucky stars they don’t own a late model Jeep, this type of software intrusion is possible on any vehicle with wireless connectivity and electronic vehicle systems’ controls made by any carmaker, provided the vehicle uses its own Internet connection system and few Canadian vehicles do, but they can be vulnerable when travelling in the US. Fortunately for Fiat Chrysler Auto (the Jeep’s manufacturer) our two geeks immediately contacted the automaker’s head office and met with them to very quickly develop a software patch to protect consumers from such an attack in the fu-

In a recent column we discussed the pros and cons of the headlong drive that most automakers are travelling in towards the smart-phone-like connectivity and functionality of their products. Many consumers such as the one who wrote this letter are concerned that they may not have any choice when purchasing future vehicles save getting one with controls and features beyond their needs or comfort level when it comes to operating those features. “Mr. Turner, This is just some quick positive feedback on your July 16 column on driving distractions. My wife and I were hoping it wasn’t just us slipping into cranky elderhood thinking that all of these dashboard electronics have to be dangerous. We worry that our next auto purchase would also have to involve taking a degree in electronic engineering and that no automaker would offer the option of an uncluttered dashboard? Does any manufacturer do so? Again BRAVO for hitting the nail on the head.” GW A recent event in the US reveals that being electronically challenged isn’t the only concern consumers should have with ultra-connected autos. Two young gentlemen the media have described as ‘professional hackers’ successfully and remotely hacked into the software of a 2014 Jeep

Aliens in form of 1980s video game characters serve up plenty of laughs My Take
Mark haskins
Naturally our best defenders are gamers from the ’80s. Sam brings in Ludlow ‘The Wizard’ Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and they get the 1982 world video game champion, Eddie ‘The Fire Blaster’ Plant (Peter Dinklage), out of prison. Armed with technology created by Lt. Col. Violet Van Patton (Michelle Monaghan) the three fight real life versions on their favourite video games to save the world. You don’t walk into a movie like Pixels expecting it to make sense. You walk in expecting to have fun, and Pixels is a lot of fun. Aliens attacking the Earth with 1980s video games like Centipede and Pac-Man doesn’t make sense. Defending the Earth with old video game champions doesn’t make a lot of sense. Kevin James as President of the United States is hard to wrap your head around. However, all of these things put together are
great excuses for some classic video game action, ’80s pop culture references, and a lot of laughs. What I like the most about this cast is how they go from wacky and outrageous one minute to saving the world the next. Michelle Monaghan takes charge as a Lt. Col. Patton and scores some laughs playing off of Sandler. Josh Gad is hysterically funny as a conspiracy theory nut who is finally proven right. I’m not even sure where to begin with Peter Dinklage’s character except to say he is brilliant, and while it may be hard to imagine Kevin James as President I’d vote for him. Adam Sandler’s fondness for the ’80s makes him an ideal choice for this film. He’s also pretty good at playing that likeable, nice-guy, everyman who’s thrust into an extraordinary situation. He gets the laughs, he gets the girl and he saves the day. I talked my wife in to seeing this film, and she hates Adam Sandler. This film didn’t change her mind, but she didn’t hate it. High praise indeed. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: Pixels STARRING: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Michelle Monaghan and Peter Dinklage DIRECTOR: Chris Columbus RATING: PG Pixels is the first Adam Sandler movie I’ve wanted to see in a long time. It was also the first Adam Sandler movie in a long time that didn’t disappoint. In 1982 NASA launched a probe into space. It contained examples of human achievement and culture in the hopes that if it reached an alien race it would have an understanding of us. Included in that probe were video games. An alien race did find that probe, and completely misinterpreted it. In the present day a U.S. Air Force base is attacked by what looks like a 1980s video game called Galaga. President Cooper (Kevin James) turns to the one person he knows can help – his best friend, and the 1982 runner-up in the world video game championships Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler). The aliens saw those video games as a declaration of war, and they’ve come to our world to battle us at our own games.

New activity room opens doors to expand services at the KDHSI Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
A year’s worth of effort focused on expanding the services at Kemptville District Home Support has come to fruition. The new activity room at KDHSI, in the basement of the current offices on Sanders Street, has opened doors to expand services. The extra space will allow for increased participation in activities such as Create-A-Card, Art Classes, Sing’n Swing’n Seniors and Exercise Class, which have grown exponentially in popularity and usage over the past few years. “This is a great new facility,” said Matt Felker, KDHSI board president. The official ribbon cutting was held on July 23. The new activity room is accessible via elevator, as well as stairs, and features a wheelchair accessible bathroom. The whole basement has been beautifully renovated – a project that took three months. “It’s great to be here to celebrate the opening of this activity room,” said Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown. “I am always happy to see federal dollars in action, for the retrofit and expansion of the activity room to accommodate more seniors and activities. I am delighted to see the money being well spent.” The renovation of the new activity room cost nearly $38,000. The set-up of the activity room cost almost $10,000; an expense the KDHSI is well on their way to covering thanks to contributions from Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation ($2,992), the Municipality of North Grenville ($900), the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Aux-
iliary ($200), Grenville Mutual Insurance Company ($200 plus a $100 Visa gift card to raffle off and a Keurig coffee maker) and the CN Railroaders in the Community ($250), in recognition of Heather Kelly-Nesbitt’s volunteer commitment with KDHSI. “It is my pleasure to join with MP Gord Brown and Mayor David Gordon, to commemorate the opening of this activity room,” said Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark. “Just a few weeks ago, I was in Brockville honouring some volunteers from here (KDHSI) at the Service Awards. I have been here many times and seen many of the activities. This is a great program; very well used.” The activity room has added roughly 500 square feet of space to the seniors centre. It has a kitchenette, lots of seating and is tastefully decorated to create a warm, welcoming feel. “This centre means so much to seniors in the area,” said Mayor David Gordon. Felker, on behalf of the board, also thanked Mike Farrell, landlord of the building, for having confidence in KDHSI to fulfill the commitment to raise $37,742 for the renovation, Jan Reisberg of Top Office Supplies for all their work sourcing the tables, chairs and ‘trucks’ to move them around easily and Tom Graham and Robin Miskelly of TD Graham & Associates for designing the signage and working with Classic Graphics to get the installation completed so quickly. A final thank you went out to Krystle Fielding, of Krystle’s Kakes & Kupcakes for donated cupcakes for the event. “It will be very interesting to see how everything continues to grow,” said Susan Smith, KDHSI Executive Director.

Long awaited Howitzer gets royal welcome in Kemptville jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
It has arrived. The long awaited M109A4 Self-Propelled Howitzer was given a warm welcome at its new home in Veterans Way Memorial Park on July 20 by members of the Veterans Way Memorial Committee, municipal staff, members of council and the Ferguson Forest Centre Board of Directors. The Howitzer arrived in Kemptville on July 16, by tractor trailer and was unloaded by crane onto a concrete slab. The placement of the Howitzer is a milestone for the VWMC, which was formed in 2009 and began working with the municipality in 2011 to bring their visions for Veterans Way Memorial Park to life. Later this year, a bronze plaque will be placed in front of the Howitzer explaining that the piece of artillery was placed in the park through the efforts of the municipality and VWMC and is a memorial to ‘not only those who fought and died, but also honours those who served, and continue to serve.’ The VWMC is looking into the Howitzer’s history, using the registration number printed on the hull; #CFR 6834837. “We’re going to get the background history,” said Roy Brown, VWMC member. “All the information we obtain is going into a set of history bind-
red dot
ers, with copies available for viewing at the Ferguson Forest Centre Office and the North Grenville Historical Society Archives.” The M109A4 series of the Self-Propelled Howitzers were originally manufactured in the United States and brought into general service in 1968. They were designed to be highly mobile combat support vehicles with the capability of providing both direct line of sight and indirect fire missions. It has an all-welded armoured aluminum hull and turret, designed to protect the crew from small fire and shrapnel. The Howitzer weighs 23,586 kilograms, prior to being combat loaded. It is three meters in height, just over three meters in width and just over nine meters in length. The Howitzer is fitted with a primary armament of a M178 155 mm cannon and secondary M2 HB .50 calibre machine gun. The maximum speed of the Howitzer is 56.3 kilometres per hour. Getting the Howitzer was a tricky process. “The Municipality had to apply to the Department of National Defence ‘Guns for Monuments Program’ and the United States Government had to authorize the end user agreement,” said Owen Fitz’Gerald, VWMC member. “But it’s here now and that’s all that matters.” Owen explained that he made a special pilgrimage to Normandy a number

of years ago and walked past the graves of 18, 19, and 20-year-olds. “We can’t forget those boys,” said Fitz’Gerald. “When I came back I started working on the idea of the Veterans Way roadway.” He is a veteran himself, having served during the Korean War at the age of 17. “Eight of us went down to join together; all friends,” said Fitz’Gerald. “We didn’t all make it out.” Plaques can be seen, beneath memorial trees planted along on Veterans Way. The 25 plaques feature 27 names of people who served their country, including two plaques with husband and wife who served. “This park was created to complement Veterans Way,” said Brown. He explained the Howitzers were phased out of service in 2006. The Howitzer is demilitarized and decommissioned – every movable part has been welded in place. The doors to access the interior of the Howitzer, where the crew was stationed, have also been welded shut. The motor and transmission were removed and the barrel of the cannon was welded in place. The Howitzer that now calls Kemptville home came from a military storage facility at Canadian Forces Base Montreal. The Veterans Way Memorial Park dedication ceremony is set for Sunday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m.

Leeds and Grenville council reluctantly approves official plan Tim Ruhnke
Leeds and Grenville now has an unofficial official plan, but several local mayors still have their reservations about it. Counties council, approved on Thursday, a bylaw to adopt the proposal. Leeds and Grenville is one of the only municipalities at its level – if not the last one – not to have an official plan, which establishes land-use policies and offers guidance when it comes to issues such as where residential and commercial development is permitted. The province directed the united counties to produce a plan and to have it submitted by March 31 of this year. In a recorded vote on Thursday morning, nine of the 10 council members supported adopting the bylaw. “We all
have our problems with it,” said Leeds and Grenville Warden David Gordon, the mayor of North Grenville. Some mayors voiced their concerns about elements of the proposal or the official plan process but opted to support the official plan bylaw. Augusta Mayor Doug Malanka, who acknowledged feeling unsettled about the vote the night before and that morning, believes the proposal is too prescriptive and represents a “wrong-minded approach” by Toronto that does not recognize local issues. However, Malanka said the plan would give the counties some discretion and responsibility. Approving the proposal also means that Leeds and Grenville would avoid the possibility of “punishment” by the province for not following its directive.
The lone vote against was cast by Front of Yonge Mayor Roger Haley. He said the proposal takes local autonomy away from the counties. Haley remarked that Toronto is telling officials here that they are “country bumpkins” who “don’t have a brain” and can’t look after their own affairs. “It’s not sitting well with me,” the Front of Yonge mayor added. A revised draft of the plan had been made available to council members earlier in the week; the revisions included adjustments agreed to at a committeeof-the-whole meeting on July 7. That final draft was amended on Thursday morning prior to the final vote; changes involving merged lot provisions put forward by the Township of Rideau Lakes were added to the document. The plan will now be submitted to
the province for its review and approval. Leeds and Grenville CAO Andy Brown told council that he expects the counties will start to get comments from the ministry within three to five months, but it might be at least year before the approval process is completed. The official plan would then be subject to an Ontario Municipal Board appeal period. Past-warden Ron Holman, mayor of Rideau Lakes, advised his colleagues to keep their fingers crossed and hope for “a workable document” at the end of the process. As for the possibility that the province will change portions of the plan approved by council, county officials indicated they would have to discuss those matters if and when they arise. The only member of the public who
was in the gallery for the final debate and vote was Shawn Carmichael, a Shanly-area farmer and landowner association representative who spoke out against the official plan during a public input session in the counties chamber earlier this year. He told council members at the end of the meeting on Thursday that he knows they did not take the outcome lightly. Background North Grenville Council resolved on June 8 to reluctantly accept the wording in the Leeds Grenville draft Official Plan, on the condition that the Counties accept the Hemson Report is ‘fundamentally flawed’ and a resolution is made prior to the approval of the OP stating a new report will be prepared.
Charter discussed LOWEST PRICING OF THE SUMMER COUNCIL Those reasons include the ongoing negotiations between the municipality and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs concerning the acquisition of Kemptville College. “Endorsing this document sets a positive tone,” said Symon. “The Food Charter is the very first step in developing a regional food strategy.” Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin said she still had issues with the language. “It is an inspirational document, not a contract,” said Councillor Jim Bertram. “I think it’s an interesting enterprise.” “I support this,” said Mayor David Gordon. “This is a living document. We have to start somewhere and this is a good place to start. It’s good for the community, good for the province and good for the world.” “I feel very similar to Deputy Mayor Tobin,” said Councillor Tim Sutton. “Council speaks by resolution and five or 10 years from now, new people coming in may not realize the context. Has the Government of Canada ever said everyone has the right to food? Because if we do, there may be issues that arise and I have a problem with that. I just have issues with the language.” Resident Robert Noseworthy addressed council, stating his concern for the word ‘right.’ “When someone has a right, it’s very significant,” said Noseworthy. He said the Canadian Char-

ter of Rights and Freedoms protects democratic rights and provides the judicial system the ability to enforce. “If you give someone a right, then it empowers the courts to enforce it,” said Noseworthy. “The Food Charter is extremely commendable, but I think it should be accepted without the first six words. My belief is there is a minority of people who abuse the systems you and I have set up. My fear is these abusers will abuse this charter. “I agree everyone should have access to food, but I’m concerned about the wording for the municipality and ratepayers.” Resident John Barclay also addressed council, stating it’s unfortunate the first six words in the charter created a certain amount of fear. “It’s valid to be concerned when you give people the right to food,” said Barclay, “but it’s more sad to live in a community that denies people the right to food.” However, he felt council should strike the first sentence of the charter to prevent delaying endorsement of the document. “What this document basically says is everyone needs food,” said Bertram. “Would it be acceptable to say everyone needs food?” The original motion to pass a resolution endorsing the Food Charter was defeated. A new motion to pass a resolution endorsing the Food Charter, striking out the first sentence, was put before the Committee of the Whole and carried. The endorsement of the charter was adopted by Council on July 27.

constructed as well as gummy bears. The two-day program is all about looking how math and science impact on our lives. One of the interesting aspects of the program is the group agreement. All the girls gather around and create an outline of the rules with which they will govern their group. Their rules were: have fun, get along with each other, make new friends, be respectful and kind, get messy and don’t yuck my yum. That last rule came into play when group members talked about their favourite food. Group member 11-year-old Emma Colasante loves the program. “I think it teaches girls to see themselves and believe in themselves,” she said, “and not care what people think about them.” She explained that in her experience some people think there are things that boys can do that girls cannot. She has noticed a change in her own attitude as a result of
the camps. “I feel better about myself. I feel that I can do anything,” said Colasante. “I like coming here because I like meeting new friends.” She said she enjoys sharing the experiences she has at the program with her friends. Parents enjoy the camp as much as the young women who have signed up for it. Wendy Young, a mother of two, had stopped by to see what the program was all about. “I like it,” she said. “I think the concept is fabulous.” She said that seeing all the girls together was great. “The all-girl concept is imJoseph Morin/METROLAND portant.

Young women everywhere need from time to time, a reminder that they have what it takes to do anything. Girls Incorporated of Upper Canada works to make sure there are no missed opportunities for young girls as they find their place in the bigger picture. A group of girls gathered at the Kemptville Youth Centre on Wednesday, July 15 to take part in a special summer camp designed just for them. The program has several different programs geared to different age groups. Some cater to girls from 16 to 18. The one held at the Kemptville Youth Centre was designed for 6 to 13 year olds. The leader of the group at the youth centre was Kelly Cole. She described the program as evidence based in that what the program promoted and how it promotes it has been proven to have a positive effect on young
women. This one was called Engineer It and focuses on math and sciences. Cole explained that women have only been legal people for 87 years and much needs to be done to encourage and promote women’s self-esteem and confidence. “For every 100 girls who successfully get a university or college degree in the sciences, only two will find a career in her field,” said Cole. “We talk about our dreams and goals,” said Cole. The camp is very popular. Cole said the camp was filled up months ago. “We want to present a positive image to one another,” she said. The Engineer It program features some hands-on lessons for the group. They look at what can be found in owl droppings. They actually make simulated snot in their snot factory and talk about how and why their bodies need to be able to produce it. They look at how bubbles are

‘Name that Well’ contest underway in support of Ryan’s Well Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
People now have the chance to have a well in Uganda, Africa named after them. The ‘Name that Well’ contest is currently underway at the Ryan’s Well Foundation. “For every $10 someone donates to the foundation, they get a ballot to be entered into the draw,” said Ryan Hreljac, Assistant Project Manager at Ryan’s Well. There are no limits on the number of ballots an individual can have. A draw, out of a well, will take place sometime after Aug. 15, which is when the contest ends. “It’s neat to find innovative ways to fundraise,” said Hreljac. “People have caught onto the contest. There’s a lot of interest.” To date, the contest has generated almost $3,000 in funds for the foundation, which provides sanitation and safe drinking water to communities in poverty stricken regions, including Uganda, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo and Haiti. To get your ballot visit www.ryanswell.ca, go to the donate page and specify ‘Name that Well,’ or call the foundation at (613)-2586832. The idea for the contest came from the foundation’s summer student, Desiree Tomassini, who started working with the foundation in June. “We have an awesome team right now, with Orlaith (McCaul, Executive Director), Desiree and Sophie,” said Hreljac. “They’re very proactive and full of new
ideas.” “The idea just kind of came to me,” said Tomassini. “I’ve been doing research on how to get people interested in donating and a contest is one way to get people involved.” This is the first time the foundation has held a ‘Name that Well’ contest, which kicked off at the beginning of July. The winner of the contest will be able to name the well anything appropriate they like – after themselves, their family, a loved one or friend, for example. The name they choose will be featured on a commemorative plaque on the well. “(The contest) gets people engaged,” said Tomassini. “People like that they have an opportunity that doesn’t come around often.” The foundation was formed in 2001 and recently announced it has begun working on its thousandth well. To date, the foundation has improved the quality of life for nearly one million people through the construction of wells, protected springs and rain harvesting tanks. The foundation is keeping busy with various fundraisers throughout the summer. Hreljac recently returned from three month trip to Burkina Faso, Kenya and Uganda, where he did site visits to check up on various water projects. “There are lots of things on the horizon,” said Hreljac. He said the foundation has lasted 15 years because of the $5, $10 and $20 donations. “No donation is small,” said Hreljac. “It’s because of those people we’re still hanging around.”

OPP investigating abandoned structure fire The OPP is investigating a small fire that occurred at an abandoned structure, located at 842 County Road 44 on July 22. The North Grenville Fire Service arrived on the scene at roughly 3:30 p.m. and found smoke showing from the structure. The structure, a bungalow, used to be a nursing home. Six years ago, a fire destroyed the interior of the structure and has since been abandoned. Deputy Fire Chief Randy Urslak said contents inside the structure were on fire when the NGFS arrived.

Safety Tips
Oil Lamps: Oil lamps or lanterns provide excellent light but can be a fire hazard if placed too close to combustibles. Keep oil lamps away from combustibles and out of the wind. Make sure they are kept in a secure place where they cannot be knocked over. Refill the lamps outdoors or away from combustibles and other people.

What a show
om Cochrane is one hell of an artist. He performed at the Kemptville Live Music Festival on July 24 and it was, by far, the best concert I have ever been to. I arrived at the festival about an hour before he came on, hoping to scope out a good spot to watch the show. Most people were lounging in lawn chairs, waiting for Cochrane, so I was able to move right up front, against the fence. People began planting themselves close to the stage as 9:30 p.m. approached. Right before he came out, I could feel the vibe change – people began chanting ‘Tom Cochrane, Tom Cochrane” over and over again. Everyone was smiling and cheering in anticipation. Then, he was there – singing ‘Boy Inside the Man’ to open – my favourite Cochrane song. Everyone was singing along with him. He played a few of his new songs and then returned to his old material, including ‘Big League.’ He was dancing to the music like he was 25, not 62 - engaging the crowd by holding the microphone out for them to sing into, reaching out to grab fans’ hands and doing a number of shout-outs to Kemptville, including a promise to come perform in Kemptville again next year. The show just kept getting better and better – perfect sound, excellent light effects and great flow.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
The man sure knows how to put on a show, which is to be expected after 30 years of touring. It was obvious the roughly 3,000 attendees enjoyed it as much as I did, with the never-ending hooting and hollering that goes hand-in-hand with a show of this caliber. He finished out the night with ‘Life is a Highway’ and ‘White Hot’ – both songs were greeted with intense enthusiasm from the crowd. A big thanks goes out to the organizers who spent months and months making the (hopefully) annual Kemptville Live Music Festival a success. The college was the perfect setting for the festival – beautiful grounds and lots of space to work with. Being two feet away from Tom Cochrane is definitely an experience I will never forget. His music has transcended time, remaining popular and relevant three decades after it was penned. And seeing his songs performed live was something not to be missed. To see videos of his performance, check out The Kemptville Advance Facebook page.

In which the Farmers escape for a week
s you read this, we are gone. Our daughter and her husband are holding down the farm, so to speak. I truly love the 200 acres we have here along the Kemptville Creek, with its uncontested sunsets, lovable farm animals and comforts of home. But I just wanted to get away for a week, to a lake. I could live on a campsite for a week or even longer but the Farmer…not so much. So I went on Kijiji and rented a cottage. We are hosting family and friends, a few at a time, in a big two-storey cedar cottage near Portland on the Big Rideau. The scent of warm cedar surrounds you as you walk up onto the porch. Just the words “Big Rideau” make me think of my dad and all the boating we did there. His handwriting is still on the charts that mark safe passage through the waterways. He has marked good spots to swim and stop for lunch – he wasn’t really into fishing. The Farmer will have to find the fishing holes on his own. I am going to be spending my time reading a few good

books, taking long walks and swimming / floating in the lake. It’s not easy to leave a farm for a week, especially when you have dependent farm animals. At the moment, the cows pretty much take care of themselves, as long as the water is running. They have access to four pasture fields and I think the hay is plentiful. Our ten calves spend their days huddled together for their afternoon nap in a kindergarten circle, guarded by one assigned cow. Or they spend their energy playing King of the Castle on the manure hill. Someone has to walk over to the barn once a day, however, just to ensure that water fountain is still operational. If it isn’t, they need barrels filled with the garden hose, twice a day. If you step into the barnyard with the bull, however, you must carry a big stick. I left that in the
care and feeding instructions. The cats can last a few days in the house before they need their food and water refilled but the outdoor barn cats need to be fed every day. If we leave too much food outside, we might attract unwanted company, like a skunk. Or a raccoon. Or a BEAR. Cody, our 16-year-old, geriatric Gordon Setter, needs to be fed at least once a day, and checked carefully to ensure he has not spilled all his water and tangled his chain in his long fur. I mean, honestly. He’s hopeless. Chelsea, the suspicious, yappy sheepdog, needs to be fed by a man. And it should be a man she knows quite well. She is not fond of women, children or strangers. Anastasia has discovered this fact the hard way, about seven years ago. She was still in high school at the time. Always the first one out of bed and therefore the first one ready to go in the morning, Annie had a little extra time on her hands so she offered to feed the sheepdog. Off she went to the barn, cup of kibble in her hand. As she squatted down to dump the kibble into Chelsea’s bowl,
she turned and looked the little dog in the eye. Then, in her high-pitched, teenaged girl voice, she said, “there you go Chelsea! Eat it all up!” Chelsea, being accustomed only to the Farmer, had never heard anything quite like it. She was also confused as to why Anastasia was lingering between her and the food bowl. The Farmer usually delivers the food, pats the dog on the head and walks away. I guess she suddenly felt threatened, and trapped, so she snapped. She flew at Anastasia, teeth bared, and if it wasn’t for the huge pouf of hair extensions that Annie had attached to her head in a ponytail, there would have been
an injury, for sure. She never offered to feed that “crazy-ass sheepdog” again. Now, fast forward 7 years and our little Annie is pregnant with her first child. She won’t be allowed to lift the chick feed bags on her own, even though she is more than able, so Andrew will be doing most of the work. It’s just as well, because knowing Annie she will encounter the one chicken who takes offence to her greeting or mannerisms and decides to peck her in the leg. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Committee of the Whole briefs from July 20 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The following is a list of briefs from the July 20 Committee of the Whole meeting. Closed session A closed session of council was held at 5:30 p.m. and closed at approximately 6:15 p.m., to discuss personnel matters. eQuinelle Community Association discusses grievances Catherine Allan, member of the eQuinelle Community Association, said the reason the association asked for an audience with council was to discuss a number of grievances. “We’ve already met with Mark Guy (Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture) and Kevin Henry (Facilities Superintendent) to learn about the park and trail plans,” said Allan. “We’ve also met with the OPP Community Service officer about ‘Watch for Children’ signs.” She said one major issue for the residents of the eQuinelle subdivision is parking. “Two out of the four houses by the park are now for sale,” said Allan. “I witnessed a screaming match a few weeks ago, between a homeowner and a woman who parked in front of her house to use the park. Cars parked beside a park is not a good idea anyways.” She said the location of the commu-
nity mailboxes is also an issue for some residents, who have mobility issues. “Some people are more than one kilometer away from their box,” said Allan. She said there is also a petition, which was previously brought before council, to reduce the speed along Royal Landing Gate from 50 kilometers per hour to 40 kilometers per hour. She said a number of eQuinelle residents have asked for a composting site within the subdivision. “The closest one, I think, is in Oxford Mills,” said Allan. Following the deputation, Director of Public Works Karen Dunlop explained the site referred to in Oxford Mills is actually a leaf and yard waste disposal site, not for compost. She explained there used to be a leaf and yard waste site at the Ferguson Forest Centre, which was staffed, but it proved problematic. “Composting, as a municipality, is not something we’ll be doing in the future,” said Dunlop. Councillor Tim Sutton explained the municipality encourages residents to compost on their own property, using a composter. “The final issue we have is sidewalk plowing,” said Allan. “Some resident’s lawns get ripped up every year. If there a way to resolve that with the size of the blade on the snow plow, we would be interested in that.” “When it comes to sidewalk plowing,” said Mayor David Gordon, “you’re

looking at the safety of residents. Last winter was horrendous – it was yards (that got destroyed) in your area and roads in mine. They were absolutely disintegrated. That’s the nature of a Canadian winter. Resident’s safety comes first, before grass.” “Safety is absolutely important,” said Allan. “I’m just wondering why it has to be so damn wide?” “The blade is standard size?” Gordon directed to Dunlop. “It is,” she replied. Wellington Road re-design agreement recommended to council Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works, explained the 2015 budget included a re-design of Wellington Road, between Bridge Street and Westerra Way. It was recommended to council to enact a bylaw to authorize an agreement with AECOM for engineering consulting services, to a maximum upset limit in the amount of $119,462 excluding taxes. Wellington Road is currently located in the serviced area of the Official Plan, but there is no water, sanitary or storm main along Wellington. The re-design will include underground infrastructure along Wellington.
Public meeting for proposed zoning amendment Phil Mosher, planner, said a proposed bylaw amendment, from local commercial to residential first density, has been submitted by Serge Lemieux for his property in Bishops Mills – the old DWQMS quarterly report general store. Dunlop provided council with the He said the property itself is hisDrinking Water Quality Management torically significant, having served as a System quarterly report, between April meeting place for decades, but the build-
The Nature of nature Angie and I spend most of our free time growing things. Planting, transplanting, seeding and weeding. We value diversity, beauty and the shear tenacity of the natural world. Plants that should not endure and yet thrive. An old hen that can no longer walk but is content to be carried into the shade and appreciates the feed and water. She chortles when you pick her up and enjoys having her neck stroked. Our old hen, Ms. Black has earned some extra attention. She would sit on the other hen’s eggs in the depth of winter, keeping them warm until I arrived in the morning to harvest the eggs. Then and only then would she hop down from the nesting box to get her feed and water. If she seemed to be in any distress I would end her misery. It would be a kindness. But she is content and the ducks and other chickens seem to respect her “elder status”. So Ms. Black lives on. As the summer winds down we have been bombarded with television ads for a Niagara theme park. I made a negative comment on social media about Beluga whales in captivity. That led to a lot of comments about zoos and the incarceration of wild animals. When you grow things or you raise animals to the best of their potential, you get a sense of what nature can offer. We are here to be stewards, not jailers. We are here to make things better, not to subjugate the natural world for our entertainment.
1 and June 30, including a few highlights. “The East Quad Well is scheduled for completion in August,” said Dunlop. “There was one adverse water sample of coliform; a minor reading. We reported it to the MOE and the Health Unit and were instructed to resample. The sample was clear and there was no further action.” She said there was also a minor methane spill at the Waste Water Treatment Plant digester. “Basically, we opened the wrong valve,” said Dunlop. “Once again, we contacted the MOE and the Health Unit and were instructed to write an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), which was written and posted, and it will never happen again.” She said the municipality is now at 78.46 per cent completion for the backflow preventer project. The deadline for residents who are on town water and sewer to have a back-flow preventer installed was December 31, 2014. “We are working with local installers to see a 100 per cent completion rate by December 31, 2015.

Nature has taught us some harsh lessons. Not all plants survive. Ducks and chickens have many predators. Bees and butterflies are under stress. This is the first year I haven’t seen a single Monarch butterfly. And yet the news is not all bad. We have a garden that is a little weedy but wonderful. Blossoms abound. We have ducks and chickens that follow us around the garden and enjoy our company and any bugs or earthworms we turn up. We have discovered that working with nature is a lot easier than trying to overcome nature. Live with your losses and rejoice in your victories. Take solace knowing you are not the first person to kill a perennial. It’s all nature. There is the good and there is the bad. If it was any different it wouldn’t be natural. We need to live within nature. We need to lose our chauvinism and an inclination to control everything. It never works that way. Angie and I finished another day in the garden. The mosquitoes finally drove us indoors. Ducks and chickens are all tucked up, the grass is cut and most of the flower beds weeded. Surprises and disappointments. Tonight I made a chicken vegetable soup for supper. The only ingredient that didn’t come from our garden was the chicken. Just another day learning about the nature of nature.

ing is not, as it has been altered considerably over the years. He said the proposed amendment fits with the Official Plan and staff recommended to council to adopt the amendment. Proposed six unit apartment building on Clothier causes concern with neighbouring property owners A proposed six-unit apartment building on Clothier Street West, across from Holy Cross Catholic School, has caused traffic concerns amongst neighbouring residents. The proposed zoning amendment for the property, owned by Gordon and Kathleen Hartley, from residential first density to residential fourth density was presented to council. Mosher explained the application is known as an infill and intensification. He said the amendment was assessed closely by staff to ensure the project met housing needs in North Grenville. He said the property will be severed into two lots – one with a single dwelling and the other to house the six-unit apartment building. He said the plans for the building don’t currently meet the minimum required front and side yard set-back. One neighbouring resident was concerned about her own privacy and the noise pollution, as her property backs onto the site of the proposed apartment building. The resident was also concerned about the increased traffic on Clothier Street; a concern shared by two other neighbouring residents who addressed council and staff during the public meeting.

Committee of the Whole discusses various issues briefs From page K9
One neighbouring resident suggested a four-way stop where Clothier Street meets Pinehill Road and another suggested a speed bump on Pinehill Road. The neighbouring resident who suggested the speed bump claimed large trucks use Pinehill Road, a no truck route, all the time, including municipal trucks. Staff said it was an enforcement issue that would be brought up with the OPP.

Evap-Condenser for North Grenville Curling Club recommended to council The North Grenville Curling Club needs a new Evap-Condenser, which will come out of the curling club capital fund. The club is based out of the old area, on Reuben Crescent, which belongs to the municipality. “The existing unit is 26-years-old,” said Kevin Henry, Facilities Superintendent. “It’s done us well. An agreement for a new Evap-Condenser, at a cost of $35,900 plus HST, between CIMCO Refrigeration and the municipality was recommended to council.

Coffee bean roasting application leads to verbal altercation A verbal altercation occurred following a public meeting to consider an application from Rob Dockendorf and Malina Corbeil-Boardman to permit coffee bean roasting on their property, located at 1205 Whitney Road. The altercation was between a resident of Merrickville, who spoke in favour of the coffee roasting application having lived beside the previous owner of the roaster for six years, and a neighbour on Whitney Road, who opposed the application. The application received several letters of objection from neighbours, two of whom attended the public meeting to voice their concerns to council. Postponing consideration of the application for two weeks was recommended to council, to see if the applicant and their neighbours could come to an agreement pertaining to a reasonable time each week to allow for coffee roasting. Corbeil-Boardman explained she supplies freshly roasted coffee beans to five local establishments and uses the roaster for approximately two or three hours per week, to roast 75 pounds of beans. She said the pungent smell of roasting coffee beans is something she does enjoy, while others may not. She said the smoke emitted from the roaster is not nearly as harmful as the smoke emitted from a woodstove, which is a commonplace heating method. One neighbouring resident said the coffee roaster was affecting their quality of life and ability to enjoy their property; having witnessed their yard fill with smoke and the pungent smell infect their home for hours on June 23. The resident suggested the installation of an after-burner as a reasonable solution. Another neighbouring resident also opposed the application, stating they would only support it if the municipality implemented emission control. Mosher explained one other coffee bean roasting operation has been approved in North Grenville, following an agreed upon time between neighbours. When that existing operation was considered, a back-up clause to install an after-burner was added to the agreement. “For one year, the roasting was successful, without any complaints,” said Mosher. “They did end up installing an after-burner, only to expand upon the amount of time they could roast.” Two people spoke in favour of the application, including a neighbour and an individual who lived beside the coffee roaster for six years when it was located in Merrickville.
Old Town BIA chair asks for more directors Paul Cormier, new Chair of the Old Town Business Improvement Area, gave a deputation to council requesting an increase in the number of directors from seven to indefinite, to increase representation from downtown business owners. “We’ve been busy trying to renew the BIA,” said Cormier. “It’s been a rocky road.” He said the BIA has received support from all kinds of people and municipal staff members, who assisted with a new draft bylaw for the BIA. “It’s a simple bylaw,” said Cormier. “There is now a governance policy in place. Before, the BIA could go out and hire anybody without sending out Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND tenders. Now, we must follow municipal rules.” He explained a lot of people have been attending the BIA meetings and have vested interest in the success of the BIA. “To that end, there is a small thing we (municipality and BIA) disagree about in the bylaw,” said The OPP charity BBQ on July 23, in support of the Kemptville Sea Cadets and Navy League, was sponsored by Total Move Management. The BBQ raised a total of $767.25. From left, Cormier. “The bylaw states we can only have seven di- George Clark, Susie McIntosh, Liam Murdoch, Donovan Arnaud and Hunter Churchill. rectors, including one member of council. We are hoping to adjust that to a more flexible clause, so we can have the number of directors required to ensure proper governance of the BIA.” He said expanding the BIA will help keep it lively. “It is possible to have people involved without being on the board,” said Councillor Tim Sutton. Cormier explained Eric McSweeney, of McSweeney & Associates, is currently in the process of creating a business plan and determining the viability of the BIA. “What we’re learning from McSweeney is we are not viable,” said Cormier, “because of our small numbers and heavy levy.” He said the report from McSweeney will be brought before council in August. “It might be best to look at this request after the viability has been determines,” said Sutton. “It’s like putting the cart before the horse, talking about this before we have that report.” “I certainly don’t see the need to expand the number of directors,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “Any committee or governing body I’ve ever been a part of has kept a small number at the top. That doesn’t prevent others from getting involved.” The Committee of the Whole moved to defer recommending the bylaw to council until the McSweeney report is issued.

Have a story idea?
Do I Need Cataract Surgery? Do I get a lot of E-mail? Yes, tons of it. Do I get letters? Practically never, particularly those without a return address. So I was surprised by a recent one. All I know is the writer lives in Lethbridge, Alberta, and is elderly. She has written that she wants to be an informed patient, so is asking for my stand on cataract surgery. “Ms. X” simply believed she needed reading glasses, but was told by an optometrist that she required cataract surgery. She re- Dr. Gifford-Jones marks, “I hesitated, so he sent me to an ophthalmologist for a second opinion. He also agreed that surgery was needed, suggested I simply sign on the dotted line, then called, “Next patient, please”. But the writer asked for a copy of what she had just signed, read the fine print (interestingly, she could read the fine print!) and now has second and third thoughts about the dangers involved. According to the National Eye Institute, by age 80 half of North Americans either have a cataract, or have had cataract surgery to replace a foggy lens. The lens allows light to pass through the eye to focus on the back part of the eye, the retina, which then sends images to the brain. Aging is the main cause of cataracts. Diabetes and glaucoma increase the risk. So does exposure to strong sunlight such as living closer to the equator. High altitude also plays a role as the people of Tibet have the highest rate of cataracts in the world.. Many people don’t know they have a cataract in its early stage. And since cataracts normally grow slowly, some people can live for years without significant effect on vision. But when symptoms first occur, the lens has become tinted, making it difficult to identify blues and purples. For instance, you may think you are wearing a pair of black socks, only to be told by friends that you’re actually wearing purple ones. Others complain of the glare of headlights, sunlight too bright, or a halo around lights. This patient in question believed she only needed reading glasses and this may be the case. But if a cataract is present, interfering with her daily activities such as reading, driving or watching T.V., then cataract surgery is the only effective treatment for her. Some patients worry that delaying cataract surgery will result in long-term damage to the eye or make the operation more difficult. But this is not the case, so there is rarely any hurry to rush into surgery. Besides, some people never need an operation and can be helped by new glasses or better lighting. The writer is correct in wondering about the risks, however. As with any surgery there’s always the risk of infection or bleeding problems. For instance, surgeons may ask you to temporarily discontinue any medication that may cause bleeding during surgery. Cataract surgery also increases the risk of retinal detachment, a potentially serious complication that can cause loss of vision. One sign of this problem is a sudden increase in “floaters” or cobweb structures that appear in the vision. Ms. X can be reassured that if an operation is truly required, the risk of complication is small and the majority of patients have better vision. There’s no sure way to prevent cataracts. But decreasing exposure to sunlight by wearing sunglasses, eating fruits and vegetables is believed helpful. And be sure to wear protective glasses for tennis and other sports to prevent traumatic cataracts. Does the use of vitamins help? Some researchers believe vitamin C is a protective agent in vision. The cornea and lens of the eye have the highest concentration of vitamin C in the body. In one study, those with low blood levels of C had 11 times greater risk of developing a cataract. In another study, those who took vitamin E reduced cataract risk by 50 to 70 percent. This is why I take natural vitamin E and high doses of C daily. At 91 I have had no cataract surgery. So I hope Ms. X is now an informed patient and realizes that the development of a cataract need not be a rush to surgery. Rather, surgery is done only when quality of life is affected.

Heather Westendorp
This week I watched in amazement as my husband (The Old Fart with A Truck), pulled a ten-yearold huge tree stump from the ground. He worked at the roots with both axe and shovel. A total of two hours solid work freed the stump from the ground, by digging beneath and cutting each root. Pulling the stump from the ground was an act of determination. Man against nature! During this week off he has done this, moved a deck, and made a step from stone we had laying around the back yard and also laid 36- 2 feet by 2 feet patio stones that I could not even think of lifting. The back-yard looks so much better. We have reached the age where it is time to stop stock piling “stuff” and start using what we have and clearing out the rest. At 50, the children are raised and we enjoy time with each other. We are doing some camping this summer, but we spend most of our
time at home cleaning up a lifetime of accumulation. Collecting stuff is both an art and a form of entertainment. We both love a good deal and have used auction sales, yard sales and even Kijiji to find deals on items that we have great plans to use to create new things. The transition between collecting and actually doing things with the useful items has been rather cathartic. It feels good to eliminate the clutter in our lives. Habits form over time. When I lost my weight and got healthier, I told my mom that working with food was going to be a killer for me. I am as passionate about food as my husband is about collecting and stockpiling stuff. I attended school taking two years of clinical nutrition to lead into a job prospect involving food. Looking for a good deal is a thrill and being a foodie, every food is an adventure. When I weighed 150 pounds, I was allocated 2,400 calories a day to maintain my desired weight. That was wonderful and allowed a fair bit
of food, but as time went on weekly and monthly exceeding those numbers has taken its toll. It has been a year and a half and I am now sitting at 163 pounds. In order to get back to my desired weight, to lose two pounds a week, I need to reduce my weekly calorie count by 1,000 calories a day. This is not an easy task and I have been dreading it for months rather than face the realization that if I wish to maintain my health goals, I need to begin my weight loss journey from day one. I am not saying it is harder the second time around, but when I lost the weight and threw out all my large clothes and replaced them with size 10, I was happy and healthy. Moving toward size 12 for comfort and now to a size 14 just breaks my heart. Daily eating has become an emotional roller coaster. I know I should not eat many of the foods I do, nor in the same volumes that my husband can eat, but they taste so darn good and stopping at a ½ cup or 4 ounce serving
has become a chore! I have been watching my husband work this week and have realized how little strength I have and how diminished my physical abilities have become. It is time to wake up and take that first step forward. I hate measuring calories as much as anyone, but I really need to remind myself what a healthy size serving is again. Summer is the perfect time to begin again because of the fresh whole foods coming from local gardens! The key for me is learning to cook without butter and sauces to cover the fresh taste and work on portion size! While the process is cathartic, it is not easy! My taste buds have adapted to plenty of sugar, salt and fats. The first few weeks feel bland, boring and hungry. Eating whole grains and nuts is great. They are higher in nutrients and good fats. The problem is they are also higher in calories, so portion size really impacts your success. I sit here writing this article in my backyard enjoying this beautiful warm sum-
mer day, but when I get up to give my husband a hand or simply say hello while he works, I realize that even walking across the back yard feels much different than it did when I weighed 150 pounds. Watching him work away this week while I just sit or prepare food, I realize that it is time to use my old lessons that have been sitting unused for over a year. I cannot even think of lifting patio stones or digging holes in the ground. My physical fitness has gone out the window and been replaced with muscles that leave me sitting on the sidelines! It is work to walk. It is work to count calories. It is work to change, but the benefits are better health and strength. I am tired of being tired. It is time. Heather Westendorp is a graduate of the University of Guelph: Food, Nutrition and Risk Management Diploma. She has also lost over 40 lbs. and is a healthier weight, constantly working toward improving her health status!

An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Registration for Neon Night is now open at a pre-event price of $40, or $10 for children aged 15 and younger. There is also a $90 family registration fee covering two adults and up to three kids. Event day registrations are $50 for adults. There will be a 5K fun run/walk, as well as a 2K walk for families with young children. The event is an opportunity for communities to rally together in the fight against childhood cancers, celebrate childhood cancer survivors and remember those children who have lost their lives to the disease. Every year, 860 Canadians between the ages of birth and 14 are diagnosed with cancer. While the rate of diagnosis has remained stable over the last few decades, child cancer death rates have declined by 50 per cent since 1985 thanks to innovative research. Today, 82 per cent of childhood cancer patients will survive at least five years after their diagnosis. By supporting Neon Night, you can help fund the continuing development of more effective childhood cancer treatments. We are also looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to volunteer on the Neon Night planning committee and for event day. To register or volunteer, please visit cancer.ca/neonnightkemptville, or by calling the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville community office of the Canadian Cancer Society at 613-267-1058 / 1-800367-2913. Participants who register before Sept. 1 will be guaranteed to receive a free Neon Night t-shirt in their size.

Local ‘CHAMP’ gallops into favourite activity thanks to War Amps Submitted
Being born a right arm amputee hasn’t stopped Olivia Miller, 11, of Merrickville, from living a full and active life. In fact, she can do what everyone else can do, sometimes with the help of a special device. Olivia is an energetic child and she recently received a device, thanks to support from The War Amps, which allows her to participate in a variety of activities. One of her favourites is horseback riding, and the new device allows her to hold onto the reins. Olivia is a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and, as such, is eligible to receive financial assistance with artificial limbs and recreational devices. Olivia’s Mom, Stachia Miller, says the new device has made a difference for her daughter. “It allows her to have better control of the horse and helps in keeping her balance. CHAMP makes it possible for Olivia to do whatever she sets her mind to.” Olivia says she is happy with her new device. “I can make the horse turn and run a lot easier.” The War Amps encourages Champs to develop a positive attitude towards their amputation, and live to their full potential. “Olivia’s determination and zest for life is an inspiration to all,” said Danita Chisholm, executive director, CHAMP program. “With the public’s support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service,

KWBSC elects new executives
Jumpstart tournament a success
Submitted photo
Canadian Tire Kemptville held their second ball hockey tournament, at the North Grenville arena on Saturday, July 25, in support of Jumpstart. Six teams participated in a round robin, semi final and final style of ball hockey, from ages 8 to adult, in a non - contact friendly game. A shoot out had to determine the winner of the semi final! The final match up between the Red Ball Hawks and the Blue Bootleggers was exciting and we were able to make use of the scoreboard, for the crowd to enjoy. Congratulations to the Blue Bootleggers, who were victorious at the end of the tournament. A grand total of $500 was raised for Canadian Tire Jumpstart, Kemptville Chapter.

Members of Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club arrived to the Annual General Meeting for the Wildcats, which was held at Grenville Mutual Boardroom on July 6. There was a record breaking number of members that participated in the vote for new directors for KWBSC. With nearly 400 members in the Club for the 2015 season a fair representation was made at the AGM by all divisions. Twenty nominations were made for members to stand as directors. The overwhelming support for the club has grown over the last four years as registration numbers have nearly doubled for participation in small ball, baseball, softball and ladies league in the North Grenville area. Once directors were voted in there was a meeting held on July 9 for the elected directors to vote in officers. All votes for positions within the Wildcats Club were unanimous at the July 9th meeting. Please join KWBSC in welcoming the new executive members. President Jeremy MacDonald, Vice President of Operations Warren O’Callaghan, Vice President of Administration and Finance Mary Anne Leang, Treasurer Claire Larabie, Secretary and Director of Community Affairs, Public Relations and Fundraising Lyn O’Callaghan, Director of Small Ball Leslie Snodown, Director of Baseball Mike Sterken-
burg, Director of Softball Anthony Orlicky, Director of Player Development Brian Colbourne, Risk and Safety and Umpire and Chief Mike Martin, Tournaments Convenor Marla Compeau, Scheduler and Equipment Director Mari Martin. The new executives have hit the ground running with the season in full swing for house league baseball. Small ball and softball are wrapping up their seasons and the Ladies League continues play until the end of August. KWBSC would like to thank Past President Tim Hamilton, Former Vice President and Scheduler Calvin Medynski, former Risk and Safety Director Doug Barnett and former Public Relations and Director of Player Development Baseball division Dan Piche for their service on the Executive over the last number of years. Many great accomplishments were made under the guidance of the departing members of the Club including the hosting of two Ontario All Ontario Championships, the development of South Gower Diamond three and the current renovations to Riverside Diamond three. The Wildcats wish Tim, Calvin, Doug and Dan all the best in the future. Over the next month House League Baseball Playoffs and District All Star Playdowns will be held. Please come out to the diamond to cheer on the Wildcats and to see some great ball being played in North Grenville!

Kemptville Wildcats Major All Star district finalists Dan Piche
In the end, the Kemptville Wildcats Major baseball team came up a few runs short to a powerful Brockville squad, losing 8-4 in the District championship game. Played in Brockville last Wednesday, many parents and supporters came out to cheer on both teams. With the bleachers full in the infield, the fans lined up along to the outfield fence to watch the action. They certainly were not disappointed as the players played a close entertaining game with great pitching, batting and defensive plays throughout the game. Kemptville got off to a great start with two runs in the top of the first to take the lead. They managed to hold that lead right into the third inning. It proved to be a pivotal inning as Brockville put up 6 runs, 3 of which came off a monster 260 foot homerun by Brockville. The visitors battled back and after 4 innings it was 8-4. In the final two innings, twice Kemptville had runners on 2nd and 3rd, and twice they
couldn’t convert. In the fifth, Brockville performed a game saving play as a hard one-hopper was hit to short with those runners in scoring position. The shortstop made a gold-glove quality play, scooping it on the backhand and then made a clean hard throw to first preventing what would have certainly cashed in two runs. Brockville will now go on to represent District 7 at the provincial championships in Oakville. Although this marked the end of the season for the Kemptville squad, it certainly was a memorable season as they participated in a number of tournaments with the highlight being a tournament played in Cooperstown NY the July 4th long weekend, the home of the baseball hall of fame. The parents would like to thank the coaching staff of Brad Marion, Pete Johnston and Kent Young for all their time and dedication in what was another fun year. Best of luck to the boys moving into Junior next season, and with 5 returning members to Major, next years squad will be a force to be reckoned with.

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

For many years the Late Lion Carl Sadler and his family supplied many in the community with Gladiolus in time for decoration days at local cemeteries. Following Carl’s passing his wife Shirley and their girls, offered the Lions Club this project as a fund raiser. We gladly accepted and named the project “The Lion Carl Sadler Memorial Fund Raiser”. In that way our club can raise funds to contribute back to the community and keep the motto of Lionism “We Serve” and the spirit of Lion Carl alive in Almonte.

The busy summer holiday season is upon us and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is making every effort to effectively manage the increased volumes of passengers during this peak period; travellers can facilitate their passage at the border by keeping the following tips in mind: • Plan ahead to avoid delays at the Canada-US land border. The CBSA suggests that you avoid travelling during peak periods, which occur mainly during weekends and statutory holidays, between 2 p.m. and midnight. You may also keep track of border wait times. To inquire about border wait times at major ports of entry, you may consult the CBSA website (http://www.cbsaasfc.gc.ca/bwt-taf/menu-eng.html), or Twitter (general: @CBSA_BWT; StBernard-de-Lacolle: @CBSA_SBL; Stanstead: @CBSA_STD; St-Armand/ Philipsburg: @CBSA_SAP). • Bring appropriate identification for yourself and for all children travelling with you, regardless of their age. CBSA officers watch closely for missing children and may ask you detailed questions about the children you are travelling with. If you have or share legal custody of the children, have copies of the relevant legal documents, such as custody rights, on hand. HELP WANTED

• Declare all merchandise you have bought and received and have all your receipts on hand. Officers may ask you to show receipts for the goods you have purchased and your hotel receipts to verify the length of your stay outside Canada. Keep all of your receipts together and on hand to avoid unnecessary delays. • Be aware of your personal exemptions. Depending on the length of your stay abroad, you may be entitled to certain personal exemptions. If you are away for less than 24 hours, there is no tax exemption, but if you are away 24 hours or more, you can bring back $200 worth of goods, tax and duty-free. Away for 48 hours or more and that figure goes up to $800 Canadian. Alcoholic beverages and tobacco products may be included in your 48-hour or seven-day exemption, provided you are of legal age. Certain restrictions apply. The following amounts of tobacco products may be imported free of duty and taxes (when stays are more than 48 hours): 200 cigarettes; 50 cigars or cigarillos; 200 tobacco sticks; and 200 grams (seven ounces) of manufactured tobacco (a special duty fee might be applicable). • Know before you go. Certain goods are prohibited or restricted from entering Canada (weapons, certain plant and HELP WANTED
animal products, etc.). You can find out more about this by consulting the information document Residents Returning to Canada: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/ travel-voyage/ifcrc-rpcrc-eng.html. “Many persons will be travelling this summer. The CBSA is making every effort to ensure that their experience at the border is as smooth and efficient as possible. I encourage anyone coming to Canada’s borders over the holidays to visit the CBSA website for the most up-to-date travel tips and advice, and to plan accordingly,” stated Benoît Chiquette, regional director general, CBSA, Quebec region. NEXUS program If you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States, you can apply to become a member of NEXUS, a program designed to expedite the border clearance process for low-risk, pre-approved travellers into Canada and the United States. More information about this program is available at www. nexus.gc.ca. For more information, visit the CBSA Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca or contact the Border Information Service at 1‑800‑461-9999.
