Contractor issues delay Habitat for Humanity build in Oxford Mills Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
A slight bump in the road. Issues with the contractor hired to clear the lot in Oxford Mills for the most recent Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands build has caused delays for the project. “We’re having issues with the contractor who is clearing the lot in Oxford Mills,” explained Peter Scott, HFHTI board member and public relations coordinator. “The contractor has not complied with the contract. Everything is starting to fall behind schedule because of that.” The project, which is an unusual one for HFHTI, involves transplanting an existing home located in Spencerville to a lot in Oxford Mills. “The house is a two-bedroom bungalow, built in the ‘70s, donated by a family in Spencerville,” said Scott. “They built a new home and donated this one to us. Our responsibility is to remove the house from the site and bring it to Oxford Mills, then remediate the site in Spencerville.” The lot itself, in Oxford Mills, was also donated to HFHTI. He explained some of the renova-
tions, to prepare the home for transportation – such as removing the chimney – are being done on site in Spencerville currently. “Once it’s moved, the rest of the renovations will be done on site in Oxford Mills.” He explained HFHTI plans on roughing in a third bedroom in the basement, once the house is transplanted to its new home. “We’ve got volunteers ready to go - standing by,” said Scott. “We simply can’t do a whole lot until the house is ready and on the move.” He explained a family has not yet been identified for the home and applications are still being accepted. Businesses and organizations are invited to donate a day to the project, which will provide affordable housing to a local family in the near future. To volunteer, contact Kimberly Rice by emailing admin@habitat1000islands. org. Those interested in applying for the home should also contact Rice, or pick up an application at either the HFHTI ReStore in Kemptville (3 Industrial Road, unit 4) or in Brockville (3037 County Road 29).

Champions for Kids Foundation golf tournament raises $37,500 to assist area families The 2016 Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) Golf Tournament has raised about $37,500 to help area children. More than 100 golfers took to the links at the eQuinelle Golf Club on July 6, enjoying 18 holes of golf, a steak dinner, and a silent auction featuring a variety of items ranging from watches to hotel stays. Their participation, as well as tournament sponsorships from a number of area businesses, helped generate the total. “We are extremely pleased with the support we received this year from players as well as the many businesses that graciously sponsored our event,” said C4K president Carole Dufort. “The money raised will help us improve the childhood experience for many youth in our area.”
The winning team at this year’s tournament was the foursome of Shawn Pankow, Frazer Smith, Ron Brus and Barry Pankow. The team shot 14-under to take this year’s event. C4K is a charity formed in January 2008 to discreetly help level the playing field for UCDSB children and their families. Although the charity’s main focus is to assist families in allowing their children to participate in sports, arts and other fun activities outside of school hours, it also meets unique needs like covering minor medical expenses (i.e. eyeglasses), providing gas cards to parents with a child in the hospital, or purchasing a winter coat for a child who needs warmth. All assistance is kept confidential. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board

Vial of Life initiative gathering steam in Lanark County Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
A simple plastic vial can play an important role between life and death. During the Aug. 10 Lanark County community services committee meeting at the county building in Perth, councillors received an update on the Vial of Life program from Community & Primary Health Care’s (CPHC) Patti Lennox and the Mills Community Support’s Jeff Mills. Vial of Life, stands for Life Saving Information for Emergencies, noted Lennox. Inside the vial is a decal to be placed on the front door of a person’s residence, a magnet for the fridge and health information that should be completed and placed back in the vial. “This saves first responders when they come to your home if, for instance, you are alone and are unable to provide them with information, they can see the decal on the door, they know to go to the fridge,” she explained. “They see the magnet on the fridge and know where they can get the information they need.” “…As well, there’s information on how to dispose of your pills,” Lennox continued. “We know that we want pills that aren’t used to be taken back to the pharmacy and disposed of properly.” Lennox indicated she and CPHC became involved in Vial of Life when she was approached by Mills. Calling it a “great community partnership,” she said Lanark County has committed $2,000 to the initiative and the Almonte Civitan Club donated $500. Shoppers Drug Mart locations
throughout the county (Perth, Smiths Falls, Almonte and Carleton Place) are also all involved, agreeing to provide vials free of charge as well as hand them out with prescriptions. “We’ve had endorsement from the Rideau Environmental Action League who were very pleased we were getting pills disposed of properly, and the Municipal Drug Strategy Committee of Lanark County as well,” Lennox said. With community partners in place, the program began to move forward back on June 14 when a pizza party event was held for volunteers helping assemble vials at the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Smiths Falls. “We had the resources, the printing, Shoppers Drug Mart provided us with vials and we were at the point where we needed to get stuffed,” Lennox remarked. More than 25 volunteers showed up to help, including the Smiths Falls & District Youth Centre, seniors, Smiths Falls council, the Local Integration Partnership as well as representatives from the Mills. “We provided pizza and pop to our volunteers. In three hours, we had 2,000 vials stuffed and ready to go,” she said. The next challenge was how to distribute the vials across the county. With Smiths Falls hosting their annual Healthy Living Festival just a few days later, it seemed like the natural choice. “We had a big kick off there with the help of staff from the Mills and we’re still working on getting the word out,” Lennox said, noting that she has seen firsthand awareness being spread. “A week later, I
went to fill my prescription (at the Carleton Place Shoppers Drug Mart) and as they handed me my prescription they offered me a Vial of Life. I thought, bingo! We’re ready to go.” Since the initial launch at the festival, Lennox said con-
tinued promotion of the program is key. There are plans to present to the Civitan clubs in Lanark County as well as institute a second run of Vial of Life. She thanked Lanark County council for their support. “We thank you very much
for your help with this. We hope it will be ongoing help,” she noted. Community services chair Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) commended the work being done. “On behalf of this committee, fantastic job. It got
done and it’s going to help some people out and probably save a life, so thank you very much,” he said. Each member of county council was presented with their own Vial of Life by Lennox prior to the presentation.

Erin Lee wins ETFO Social Activism Award Erin Lee, executive director of Lanark County Interval House, has received the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) 2016 Social Activism Award. The award is presented to an individual woman or a group of women who do not hold ETFO membership but have been outstanding social activists on behalf of women and children in Ontario. Under Lee’s leadership, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) is a compelling force of change, helping to build a better future for women and their children in Lanark County and beyond. While LCIH provides residential emergency shelter and transitional support for women and children fleeing abusive situations, the organization goes well beyond these services. With two outreach offices in Lanark County Highlands and Carleton Place, LCIH has built comprehensive services for rural women and children Laurie Weir/Metroland under Lee’s vision. Lee was nominated for

the award by ETFO’s Upper Canada Occasional Teacher Local. Lanark County Interval House provides unique counselling services to prevent and deal with violence. Among other programs, it offers workshops and counselling on healthy relationships, girl on girl violence, conflict resolution skills and a web network for rural youth called Truth for Rural Youth that provides educational materials and resources to end violence. Lee has also pursued a truly integrated approach with the entire community to end violence that includes partnerships with local police forces to identify and assist women living in abusive situations and extensive preventative education in schools, town councils and community groups by LCIH. Lee has worked with local businesses to raise awareness about women abuse through LCIH’s Violet Femmes fundraiser, a Women’s Fair, and the Feed the Fight to End
Violence Against Women involving local restaurant partnerships. Lee and her staff write a monthly article in the local newspaper and run The As Good as New Store to raise funds and provide clothing for women staying at the shelter. “Erin has moved mountains to address the barriers of rural realities and make LCIH services accessible to all women and children,” said ETFO president Sam Hammond. “While running a complex organization, Erin has engaged her entire community to enable Lanark County’s women, children and youth to deal with and be free from violence.” The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario represents 78,000 elementary public school teachers and education professionals across the province and is the largest teacher federation in Canada.

The Carleton Place Soccer Club hosted the boys Mississippi Invitational Soccer Tournament (MIST) at Beckwith Park over the weekend with a full day of soccer for teams across the region. On Saturday, it was a festival for the U8/9/10 players, each team playing four games. No scores were kept as it’s a way to enhance development among young players. On Sunday, a festival was held for the U11/12 boys’ teams. During the weekend, the U13/14/15/16/17/18 teams competed in a tournament-style championship using all the soccer pitches in Beckwith Park. Above, in MIST Festival action Saturday, this group of U9/10 players have some fun in the rain.

BUY ONE Invisibel Synergy Hearing Aid GET ONE 50% OFF
Bringing Perth’s past to life There’s only two weeks left to catch the Classic Theatre Festival’s two historic theatrical walking plays, which have drawn visitors from around the globe. River of Memory, the morning show, is a compelling story of early Indigenous/settler relations at the time of Perth’s founding in traditional Algonquin territory, playing Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. to noon until Aug. 28. The Lonely Ghosts Walk, running Fridays from 7 to 8 p.m. until Aug. 26, is called A Taste of Perth, and focuses on local whiskey baron John McLaren and the temperance woman for whom he held a secret flame. These unsettled spirits argue it out during a crosstown journey that features a young Malcolm Cameron (founder of the Bathurst Courier newspaper), some very inebriated penny-a-day soldiers, and a collection of comedy and musical moments that bring back a key conflict that marked Perth’s early years. Both plays are written by the Classic Theatre Festival’s Laurel Smith, and directed by Sean Jacklin. The talented cast includes Garrett Pipher, Morgan MacDonald, Connor Williamson and Emily Richardson. Tickets to both shows are available at www.classictheatre.ca.

e understand Leeds and Grenville Warden David Gordon’s initial apprehension when presented with a recommendation that the united counties award a crack sealing and routing contract when only one company submitted a bid. Gordon, the mayor of North Grenville, indicated a committee meeting earlier this summer that he did not feel confortable about the move given the so-called open and transparent manner by which municipal governments are supposed to operate these days. It appears that the counties issued a standard tender call, by all accounts, and only one firm – Pavetech Ottawa – submitted a bid. Public Works Director Les Shepherd indicated that the amount of just under $167,500 represents a competitive price, adding that the company is reputable. The total ended up being a few thousand dollars over what had been budgeted. As some counties officials noted, once the sealed envelope is broken and unless it is made clear in advance that the contract
will not be awarded if there is only one bid, it would be difficult not to proceed after the company submitted a bid in good faith and counties staff have done their due diligence. Most public-sector agencies have procurement policies that set guidelines when it comes to awarding contracts. There was no indication at the committee meeting that the counties would be violating policy by awarding the job to the lone bidder. One thing we noted from this and other contract discussions at the meeting is the amount of money with which the local mayors are dealing. Council also gave the green light to a three-year line painting contract for more than $281,000 per year. (By the way, two bids were received for this one, and the low bid was selected.) These elected officials supported by a staff of professionals oversee how tens of millions of local property tax dollars are spent each year. Discussing procurement policy and looking into adopting a council code of conduct are signs that the group is taking its responsibilities seriously.
Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth in the rumour.

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party,
never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too! A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin
pillow, and there was no re- eyes on the lad before, and hearsal, I was just told to my first introduction to him walk beside the ring bearer, was when he stuck his tongue smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid See MARY page 9
Letter to the Editor so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch. The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it

STEO busing information just a click away Starting this month, information on busing for the upcoming school year will be just a click or a phone call away, for parents and students in eastern Ontario.

My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were abouat to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way. I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck

to find a reasonable explanation for this decision. I find the CCAC’s explanation provided to Bob Hepburn of the Toronto Star insincere and lacking both substance and merit; any suggestion that cutting many client services to as little as 15 minutes seems less about patient care and more like an underhanded and deceptive method of managing the agency’s largess. It appears to be, at best, an abdication of the Champlain CCAC’s responsibilities, and at worst, an attempt to transfer the burden of your budgetary deficits on the backs of both PSWs and patients.

The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part
and largest geographic area is in the South East LHIN, the numbers of complaints I receive from constituents regarding problems with the SE CCAC are barely negligible when compared with the legacy and history of complaints I’ve received about the Champlain CCAC. It is my expectation that you reverse the changes you’ve made to patient visit time, and instead focus on the larger financial problems and find greater efficiencies within administration before diminishing patient services. You might consider starting this by removing those involved with this recent decision from your employ. I look forward to your timely and thoughtful reply.

Arrival of new grandson Max creates wonderful memories I just had a birthday recently. I can’t say I “enjoyed a birthday recently.” That’s because I now qualify for a particular song by The Beatles. That one from the Sergeant Pepper’s album! What made my day was the presence of my grandchildren. Regular readers will notice that is now plural. I sometimes mention our granddaughter Lily in my column. At 29 months Lily is a going concern. When she’s here the only time she stops is when her parents insist she sit down for lunch or dinner. The rest of the time she is a whirlwind, inside or outside our house. After they leave Kathleen and I usually fall into bed! Now Lily has a brother, our second grandchild. His name is Max and at this writing he is growing like a weed! Our daughter Heather and her partner Indy Jayasekara are the proud parents. And are they lucky! Max is such a good little fellow. From the very beginning all he did was eat and sleep 24/7. He rarely cries – only when he’s hungry which is often – and he is not a “shrieker” which is even nicer. Max is a very contented fellow and in the beginning he slept so much we rarely saw his big, brown eyes. That is changing of course and with each passing day he becomes brighter and more engaged. His hearing is outstanding and thanks to his sister his auditory sense is tested regularly. No one will ever accuse Lily of being a shrinking violet! In March Indy, an engineer with an Ottawa-based energy company, was transferred from Regina, where Lily was born, to the nation’s capital. We are delighted and so are his parents who live in suburban Montreal. During the transition period they lived with Kathy and me. Heather was five months pregnant when they arrived and they were with us for two months. That turned out to be a blessing. Lily got to know us so well that Heather and Indy soon had built-in babysitters. Lily barely noticed if her parents went to the store or opted to spend a little time together away from our house in the evening or on weekends. Our grand-daughter is extremely gregarious and she’s a lot of fun to have around. So those two months, in particular, will always hold a special
place in our hearts. We thoroughly enjoyed having them here! They are now settled in a home of their own in south Ottawa and it’s wonderful to have them living 40 minutes away, as opposed to five hours by air. Including airport transfers reaching Regina from Ottawa can be something of an odyssey, as we discovered several times during their two and a half years in the Saskatchewan capital. Lots of help When Lily was born in March 2014 we really felt the distance. So did Heather and Indy who had no relatives in Regina. But they’re very capable and they handled the situation well. Indy’s parents are retired and thankfully they were there to assist when Lily arrived. They were in Regina for a week and then we landed for a six-day visit. So, initially at least, they had plenty of assistance. In addition Indy’s firm was good enough to grant him six weeks paternity leave, a situation that also applies in the wake of Max’s birth. What a huge plus! I well remember how different things were for Kathy and me when our first child was born. I was working as a reporter/photographer at the daily newspaper in St. Thomas, Ontario (south of London) at the time. Our managing editor, a crusty Englishman, didn’t want me to take six hours off work, let alone six weeks. He also scoffed at the notion of me wanting to be in the delivery room for Craig’s arrival. Admittedly, in the 1970s fathers in the delivery room was in its infancy, so to speak! He did, however, grant my request for which I was grateful. So was Kathy! It is tough being a first-time mother, living in a new city and being surrounded by strange people. She says my presence definitely made her feel more at ease. Childbirth is not a pleasant experience, as I am sure mothers will attest! I was glad to be there. I was also fortunate enough to be present for Heather’s birth in Carleton Place just 15 months later. She arrived on a Saturday so there was no issue with time off work. There’s nothing quite like witnessing the birth of your children. I wouldn’t trade
those experiences for anything. Fathers have it easy of course, a fact I readily acknowledge! With Heather and Indy living nearby we were “on-call” for a few weeks in the lead-up to the arrival of grandchild No. 2. Nature takes its course and not even the most experienced obstetrician can predict when a little one will make his/her appearance. It looked like we would catch a break when Indy’s folks arrived from Montreal. They would look after Lily, in her own home environment, while Mom and Dad were at the hospital. Well, that was the intention at least. But the best laid plans! Mr. and Mrs. Jayasekara were forced to return to Montreal on July 16 due to a medical problem involving the person who was caring for their home. They had to get a house key to a family member who agreed to substitute for their neighbour who had become ill. That Saturday just happened to be Heather’s due date. So suddenly Grandma and Grandpa Maguire were in the frame. Indy’s folks would return sometime on Sunday. Meanwhile we were on call to babysit our granddaughter. Saturday evening Heather called to say she did not feel the delivery was imminent. But when we retired I told Kathy, “I have a feeling tonight is the night!” She didn’t think so. For once at least, I was right! Just after midnight the phone on the night table jangled, rousing us from a deep sleep. Before I even answered it I said to Kathy. “Oh, oh – this is it!” A very calm Heather was on the other end of the line. “Dad, can you come now. Labour has started.” We confirmed cell and car phone numbers, just in case they had to take Lily with them to the hospital before we could arrive. She was sound asleep at the time so it made sense for us to go there and spend the remainder of the night! Quick trip I’m not a speeder. But admittedly our car ride to Barrhaven probably broke some records for that particular journey! Fortunately it was 12:30 a.m. and the roads were
virtually empty. It was going on 1 a.m. when we arrived. The expectant parents were ready to go. Well, sort of! Indy is a very calm and deliberate man. It goes with his profession I think. He didn’t appear to be
in any hurry and Heather continued to be calm, despite being in some discomfort by this juncture. After three or four trips out to their SUV, Indy assisted Heather to the vehicle and, after a walk around the vehicle – yes, I was watch-
ing from an upstairs window – they set off for QueenswayCarleton Hospital (QCH). I am neither calm nor deliberate and by this time I was hitting high numbers on the See MAGUIRE page 11
Returning to the nest – what that means to your financial life Compared to previous generations, children are living with their parents much longer and many are returning to the nest for any number of reasons – most of them financial. Check out these re-nesting numbers*: • 42% of young adults age 20 to 29 live with their parents – a significant increase from 30 years ago. • 63% of young men and 55% of young women age 20 to 24 live with their parents. • Almost one-quarter of young adults who live in the parental home have left at some point in the past. The good news side of those stats is that when your children live at home longer, you’re less likely to experience sadness about an empty nest – when it eventually happens. The not-so-good-news is that supporting your children well into adulthood can drain your nest egg. And if you’re a member of the sandwich generation and also caring for your parents, you’re probably spread fairly thin in terms of your time, finances and emotions. If that describes your personal situation, it’s critically important to understand the entire financial picture – yours, your childrens’ and your parents’ – including insurance, savings, assets and debt. You should also explore all possible tax breaks and government benefit programs available to Canadians who are caring for adult dependents. The crowded nest trend is driven, in part, by financial constraints facing today’s young adults. They may be staying in school longer to effectively compete in the job market and, with the steadily rising costs of a post-secondary education, find themselves strapped with big student loans when they graduate. Or it may
Invest in life. Contact us for more information.
Manage Your Money simply be that housing costs are the financial roadblock to your child’s ultimate desire for independent living. For many young adults, living with parents is a fiscally responsible decision even when they are working full time. It can be an ideal way to save for a house or start a business. But you do risk a drain on your finances. The key is proactive planning to help them (and you) cope with the costs. For example, if your at-home child is pursuing an education and if your Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) doesn’t cover the cost of their post-secondary studies, talk to a professional about strategies that will help avoid hefty debt. Your professional advisor can also provide sound advice to your adult children about how to leave the nest in good financial shape. In fact, your professional advisor can help bring your entire financial picture into focus and allow you to balance all your priorities without sacrificing your own long-term financial plan. * Source: Statistics Canada. 2011 Census This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Ontario municipalities receive first federal gas tax fund payment of 2016 The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has transferred the first of two 2016 payments of federal gas tax funds to Ontario municipalities. In 2016 AMO will administer more than $600 million from the fund to invest in local infrastructure. “The federal Gas Tax Fund is helping to build strong communities across Ontario,” said Gary McNamara, AMO president. “AMO’s unique arrangement with the Government of Canada has resulted in safer roads and bridges, more public transit and a decrease in Ontario’s annual energy demand.” You can find out exactly where the federal Gas Tax Fund is invested in your community by using the mapping tool at www.gastaxatwork.ca. To find individual municipal allocations, visit bit.ly/AMOGasTax. This year, municipal governments are realizing the benefits of Gas Tax Fund indexation as allocations increase by roughly five per cent. Indexation ensures that the Fund grows over time so that it keeps pace with increases in the cost of
living and the cost to do business. The ultimate result is more dollars being invested into critical local infrastructure that helps keep our communities safe, up to date and prosperous. “The federal Gas Tax Fund provides predictable, long-term funding to help Canadian municipalities build and revitalize public infrastructure while creating jobs and long-term prosperity,” said the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. “By working in partnership with Ontario municipalities, we help build 21st century communities while creating good, well-paying jobs that help the middle class grow and prosper.” Since its launch in 2005, municipalities across Ontario have invested more than $4.3 billion of federal Gas Tax funds into 6,700 infrastructure projects worth more than $11.9 billion. The federal gas tax Fund is one of the only permanent and stable sources of funding for municipal infrastructure and is helping to close a province-wide infrastructure gap.

panic meter. “What’s taking them so long? Why don’t they get going,” I said to Kathy. She wasn’t interested. “They’ll be fine,” she predicted. Through all the commotion our little granddaughter never stirred. When we finally went to bed, about 2 a.m. – I had spent 15 minutes unsuccessfully chasing a fly which had invaded the house and our bedroom while the doors were continually swinging – Lily was still sleeping in exactly the same position. Grandma and Grandpa didn’t sleep a wink. I was up, fiddling with the safety gates downstairs – why do those darn things never open for grandparents – when our cell phone started pulsing. It was just before 6:30 a.m. Kathy answered and I quickly realized it was Heather on the line. My wife was right of course. Everything had gone well. After just more than four hours of labour little Max arrived at 4:12 a.m. He was a strapping eight pounds, nine ounces and 22 inches in length at birth. He’s going to be tall, like his daddy! My favourite memory of that morning was the look on Lily’s face when she emerged from her bedroom at 7:40 a.m. and found Grandma and Grandpa there. The expression on her little face was priceless. Pure amazement! It was the first time in her young life she had awakened and not had one or both parents on hand to welcome her.
By 10 a.m. Indy’s parents had returned from Montreal. After an excited chat among the grandparents, they took over babysitting duties and we adjourned to QCH. Seven hours after his birth we were holding our new grandson. Only grandparents will recognize this experience for what it is. Truly the best feeling any person can have in their life, outside of the birth of their own children. Max’s four grandparents feel truly blessed!

Well owners urged to test water, conserve water during continuing drought conditions With many of our conservation authorities declaring moderate to severe drought conditions across Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to inform well owners of risks to their well water supply. During times of prolonged drought, wells can be susceptible to contamination due to varying water levels. As water levels in the water table drop, some wells may draw contaminants from further away into your drinking water supply. In addition, soil may compact and pull away from well casings making them vulnerable to runoff when it does rain. In times of drought, well owners may notice changes in their water supply including quality and quantity. All private well owners are urged to sample their wells to ensure the bacteriological quality of their water has not changed. Water testing bottles are available at any of our Health unit offices as well as other sites within the tri-county area including many municipal offices. Filled bottles can be returned to any health unit office or designated drop off site – check our web site for locations www.healthunit. org. Testing is free. Should your sample results indicate poor bacteriological quality, boil the water
at a rolling boil for one minute and then cool and store safely for use. While disinfection of contaminated wells is often recommended; during drought conditions this process (which requires flushing) may result in your well running dry. Call the health unit to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure. It can take a considerable amount of time for wells to recover from persistent lack of precipitation. Well owners are encouraged to conserve water before wells start to be problematic, and to consider alternate safe sources of water available in the event that there is a shortage of water from the well. Ways in which you can reduce your water usage are: • Flush toilets only when necessary as toilets can account for 24 per cent of typical use in a home. • Take shorter showers as showers account for 20 per cent of typical use in a home. • Fix leaks, dripping faucets and running toilets as these can account for 12 to 19 per cent of water usage. • Ensure when washing clothes your load is full as this can account for 17 per cent of water usage. • Don’t water lawns, wash cars, driveways etc. • Use water collected in your dehumidifier to water plants, etc.
• Avoid use of your dishwasher or ensure it is full before use. (Information provided by the CRCA source: Water Research Foundation) Should your well stop providing water, do not pour surface water into your well as this can contaminate the water supply with bacteria, parasites and possibly chemical contaminants that can be difficult to remove. Removing your well cap
to check water levels frequently, or lowering measuring devices into your well can lead to contamination and is not recommended. For more information on what you can do to protect your well water supply and to check the status of drought conditions in your watershed please check the following links to our partner agencies: • Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change: https://www.

Homes still need to be found for more than 60 kittens available at LAWS At LAWS we were inundated with pregnant queens this summer. Several gave birth to six kittens. The count went up to around 60 cute little faces who are now all looking for their forever homes. Many of them are ready to leave the shelter as they have been altered and are big enough to explore your home. These little bouncy creatures are in all colors, sizes and with a variety of coats; long hair, short hair or medium long. Several local pet stores stepped in to help offering their cages to us to fill them with our available kittens. Please meet them at Pet Valu Almonte, Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and at the shelter. Why not take two, it’s easier than one as they keep each other company. It’s fun to see them grow up. They truly make you smile. Barn cats We’re still hoping to find homes for several barn cats too. Some cats, despite of our efforts, are not to be socialized enough to qualify as domestic cats. They’re not feral either but would just do better in a heated barn where they are being fed and have access to water. As they keep your barn free from rodents, you make them happy offering them a free life. Their adoption fee is kept very low we require a minimum donation of $25. All our barn cats are spayed or neutered, and up to date with inoculations; even rabies. Please help us find good barns for our barn cats. Garage sale Please mark your calendars for an upcoming garage at LAWS. It will be on Aug. 27 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please come out and find some lovely items and make an offer. All proceeds will go to the animals in need. This week’s featured pets Rolo We can’t believe a cat like Rolo came to LAWS as a stray and has not been claimed. It is clear he was a family boy as he is absolutely gorgeous and very affectionate. Meet him and he’ll roll over for a belly rub. He loves to give affectionate head bumps. He’s
This Week’s Pets shed a lot and need a lot of care to keep their fur shiny and well groomed. Logan is very friendly and loves to goof around. True to his breed Logan is athletic, strong and intelligent. Huskies are known to be escape artists about two years of age and would be the perfect cat for any household. Please meet him in one of the cat runs at LAWS. Buttons Meet Buttons one of our striking beautiful tuxedo cats. She resides with other cats in one of the cat-runs and likes most of them. She can be a little feisty and doesn’t like it when other cats hiss at her. She just walks away and tends to ignore them. She loves to live a peaceful life and wishes someone would come soon to take her home.
Logan Please meet Logan a four-yearold Siberian Husky mix with striking crystal blue eyes. Logan grew up in a home with cats which he enjoyed. He also enjoys the company of most dogs he has met. When he greets someone, he likes to jump up and give hugs...but he doesn’t always realize his own size and strength and may accidentally knock you over. We think due to this being around smaller children may not be best. We don’t think he minds being around children though. They could even be part of brushing his fur, as Huskies

and need a sturdy high fenced in yard. Logan knows some of his basic commands like sit, down and he loves to shake a paw. He could improve on his leash skills. He is mostly house trained. Logan used to live on a large acre lot where he enjoyed running beside a bike or a four-wheeler to exercise. Logan needs to work as that’s part of his breed too. He is not suited for living in a small house or an apartment. He does not like to be left alone but if you have a crate for him to relax in he will settle down. This high-energy dog needs a serious adopter who is familiar with the breed and who will allow him to have some fun pulling a sled in the winter or let him pull a cart with lumber. It will keep him going and it will bring you together. If you think you’d like to meet Logan please call 613-283-9308 to make an appointment.

Classic Theatre’s edge-of-your-seat mystery an inspector calls opens Aug. 19 A body has shown up, and everyone on stage is a suspect. It’s the starting point for An Inspector Calls, and what at first glance sounds like a familiar plot becomes, in the hands of legendary British playwright J.B. Priestley, a masterful work that has thrilled audiences for more than 70 years. An Inspector Calls opens at the Classic Theatre Festival (54 Beckwith Street East in Perth) on Aug. 19 and runs until Sept. 11, with a plot that bounces back and forth with audiences trying to determine up to the very last line of the show who is ultimately responsible for the death of a young woman. Set in 1912 on the eve of the First World War, the play is a gripping study of an era that is about to become completely unraveled by events that continue to shape the modern world, from the loss of “an unsinkable ship” known as the Titanic to the fiery cauldron that is now being recalled a century later as the First World War. As the show begins, two British families are celebrating a “family merger” of sorts when young Sheila Birling announces her engagement to the well-to-do Gerald Croft, whose family business represents not only great wealth and security,
but also a potential business merger for her father, Arthur Birling, with Croft’s father. As characters reflect on the inevitability of their continued success in what seems an impermeable bubble isolated from the world without, a knock comes on the door, and with it, the mysterious Inspector Goole arrives to ask some questions. In the same way many European societies are about to come apart in 1912 and 1913, so it is with this family, as Goole’s investigation begins to draw out very suspicious activities on the part of each and every character on stage. There will be times when even audiences members will feel they could be called onto the stage for questioning or tapped on the shoulder to determine if they had any role in the death of the young woman. An Inspector Calls is one of the most successful British plays of the 20th century, and has been the focus of a continuous National Theatre world our since 1991, in addition to being remade once again on film with a 2016 BBC show. The Classic Theatre Festival production, directed by Laurel Smith, features William Vickers (seen earlier this summer as the screenwriter Herb in Neil Simon’s comedy, I Ought to be in

The versatile actor William Vickers, who starred in the comic role of screenwriter Herbert Tucker earlier this summer in I Ought to be in Pictures now turns to a more serious role as the Inspector in the edge-of-your-seat mystery An Inspector Calls, opening Aug. 19 and running to Sept. 11 at the Classic Theatre Festival, 54 Beckwith Street East, in Perth. Tickets available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. Pictures) as the determined Inspector. The cast also features a fine collection of Canadian talents
who are both festival veterans as well as newcomers to Perth. They include Greg Campbell as the Birling family patriarch (af-
ter his star turns in Dial M for Murder and Wait Until Dark) and Elana Post as his wife (Post is an award-winning actor, direc-
tor, and independent filmmaker from southern Ontario who began her career in the 1993 Stratford Festival production of The Mikado). Gerald Croft is played by the multi-talented Fraser Elsdon, who performs on stage and TV while working as a playwright as well. Sheila is portrayed by Anna Burkholder, a highly skilled British-trained performer who played in Timon of Athens with the U.K. National Theatre. Younger son Eric is played by Perth-born and raised Sean Jacklin, a recent graduate of the George Brown Theatre School in Toronto. Sean appeared last year as the bedeviled telephone repairman in Barefoot in the Park, and this season directed the two historic theatrical walking plays for the Festival (River of Memory and A Taste of Perth, which run until the end of August). Making her professional debut is another local talent, Breanna Critchley, who is playing the family maid, Edna. Tickets to An Inspector Calls (as well as the theatrical historic walking plays) are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877283-1283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

Versatile East Coast musician highlights house concert Aug. 23 in Pakenham Dan Doiron, a Cape Bretoner and East Coast Music Awards (ECMA) multiple nominee will be playing in Pakenham at a house concert on Aug. 23. Playing on the banks of the Mississippi River, Doiron will be highlighting his versatility as a guitarist and songwriter – from straight up pop, to rock, to blues, to soulful ballads with thought-provoking lyrics, to high energy humourous tunes. Doiron will highlight pieces from his three albums that he’s released in the past four years. A high school friend of the host, Doris Rankin, Doiron who gave up engineering in his first week of university to take classical guitar at Dalhousie University, has never looked back. After a successful teaching career he is now focusing on using his raw energy to continue his solo artist career. His visit to the Ottawa Valley is an excuse for Rankin to catch-up on his songwriting and to watch him perform in an intimate setting. “Dan knew every song in the book and played everywhere and anytime. Coming from a musical family, it was no surprise to me that he’s make it as a full-fledged entertainer,” said Rankin. The venue will be on the shores of the Mississippi River, 3030 County Rd. 29, Pakenham, begin-

Doiron received a 2011 ECMA nomination for his debut CD, Even My Guitar Is In Love With You. His sophomore album, From Deep Inside, was also nominated for both Music Nova Scotia, and ECMA awards for Blues Recording of the Year. In October 2013 he won ECBS Maritimes to Memphis Blues Challenge and represented Atlantic Canada at the 2014 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

Be there when Studio Theatre premieres its new seats Aug. 18 This news is guaranteed to sit well with Perth theatre audiences. And on Aug. 18, you can be a part of the story. Back in June, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa announced it was replacing all the seating in its main theatre, Southam Hall. The good news for our town is that the NAC decided to donate 200 of its old, gently used seats to – you guessed it – the Studio Theatre, right here in Perth. It was an amazing windfall for Perth’s community theatre in the Tay Basin. And while the Studio Theatre has always been a great showplace, it will now be a truly comfortable one as well. “Our seats were on their last legs...well, cushions...and it would have been next to impossible for us to afford new ones”, says Studio Theatre president Penny Silberhorn. “Luckily, the National Arts Centre understands the importance of notfor-profit volunteer-run community theatre, and they were thrilled to see their old seats go to a worthy home.” Thanks to the efforts of many skilled volunteers, the seats are now installed and ready for their big “premiere” on Thursday, Aug. 18. Ticket holders who arrive before 7 p.m. for the opening night performance of the musical comedy Bingo Ladies will witness Studio Theatre history – the ribbon cutting of the

As the community engages in a series of public consultations on the future design of Almonte’s downtown core, Café Postino is leading the way with a delicious makeover at the intersection of Mill and Little Bridge streets. Adorned with shrubs and flowers, and designed by Almonte architect Peter Mansfield, a new permanent patio now wraps around the westward side of the restaurant’s historic home at the old post office building, replacing a seasonal structure that previously ran along Mill Street. “Outdoor patios are the best way to integrate people with streets,” Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin said. “Patios turn sidewalks from pedestrian corridors to gathering places.” “The Café Postino patio, with its raised design at a key intersection, lets people see and be seen,” he continued. “The patio makes Almonte’s downtown core an even better place to visit.” “Our new patio provides more spacious seating for 24,” coowner Claire Falsetto said, “and we’re very excited to welcome both tourists and in-town guests to enjoy our new contribution to Almonte’s streetscape.” The patio has new umbrellas and comfortable seating, which make it a great outdoor meeting place. While enjoying a beautiful view of Almonte’s downtown from the patio, “people can order pasta, pizza, salad, wines, beers, coffees, desserts and daily special items,” chef Steve Falsetto said.
Plum gelato great alternative to traditional ice cream Foodland Ontario
Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes
Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk • 2 tbsp (25 mL) honey Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchIngredients: ment paper. Cut each plum • 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Italian in half, but not all the way Prune Plums through and remove pit. Place • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario plums cut side up in prepared Honey pan (they will be snug). Drizzle Custard: with honey. Roast in 425ºF • 1 egg (220ºC) oven until very soft, • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half- darker in colour and carameland-half cream ized on the bottom, 1 to 1-1/2
hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight. Preparation instructions Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved. Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture
and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of metal spoon, about 8 minutes. Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight. Gently whisk plum purée into custard. Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions.
Freeze in covered container. For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Letter writers bring potential pitfalls to the surface My inbox received a couple of letters this week that, while not representing common situations, revealed some pitfalls that are worth bringing up. The first was from an unfortunate car owner whose vehicle was involved in a collision (fortunately with no injuries). The $10,000 plus repairs were completed by an insurance recommended body shop which involved the replacement of the windshield. This installation developed a problem in the form of a water leak which caused damage to the fabric headliner of the vehicle among other things. After three trips back to the body shop for rectification without success, the insurance company got involved again and handled the problem efficiently and another windshield was installed along with a replacement headliner at a different shop at no cost to the consumer. The end result that really piqued this reader was that when he checked his vehicle’s car accident history through CarProof (a company that compiles such data for car retailers and consumers) he found two separate incidents related to this event and the total went from $10,700 to over $15,000. When he added up the two repair invoices they didn’t even come close to matching this final figure. His valid concern is that when it comes time to trade this vehicle in for a replacement, this report will drastically affect its value. He has been in touch with both his insurance company and Ontario’s Insurance Ombudsman to try to get things straightened out. The moral here is to never take anything for granted when it comes to vehicle insurance repairs and history reports. The second tale of wheeled woe came from a reader who diligently took their 14-year-old SUV into their service provider for a thorough pre-summer travel check-up and spent almost $2,000 for some needed maintenance and intake gasket engine repairs (this ride had almost 200,000 km on at the time). A few weeks and several thousands of kilometers later, the vehicle broke down with an overheating
problem at the other end of the province. A faulty temp sensor and thermostat was said to be the cause and $700 later our traveler was back on the road. But only a short time and distance later, the temp warning light came on the dash and another repair shop nearby took a much closer look at things and determined the cylinder head gaskets had failed and provided a $5,000 estimate to put things right. When I was asked for advice, my first recommendation was not to spend any more money on this vehicle. Its average value (in reasonable running order) was less than half of this estimate. The main concern of our traveler was that they thought the temp sensor and thermostat was an incorrect diagnosis and they were trying to get their $700 back. Cooling system problems can be very tricky to figure out. There’s no advanced diagnostic tester you can hook up to magically tell the tech the answer. And when a shop is faced with a travelling client, they realize they’re under the gun to try to get things running right quickly so as to salvage someone’s vacation. In muddy situations like this, it’s very hard to prove who was right and who was wrong and turning to the courts wouldn’t be much of a guarantee and I suspect few lawyers would suggest expending a lot of time and energy for a $700 repair invoice. This vehicle owner relied upon the expertise of others and really did some due diligence in trying to ensure their road trip would be successful. With the benefit of a 20/20 rear vision, depending on a 14-year-old SUV that arguably had one of the worse reliability records for its manufacturer, to make anything other than a quick trip to the corner store probably wasn’t the worst idea in the world, but it also wasn’t the best. They should have stopped before laying out the first $2,000 repair as it was in excess of 75 per cent of the wholesale value of the vehicle at the time. General Motors seems to be the first out of the starting gate to take action to prevent child deaths

caused by them being left in vehicles on hot days. Beginning with their 2017 Acadia SUV they have introduced a simple software program that will warn drivers to check the rear seats before exiting the vehicle. This warning, displayed on the instrument cluster and accompanied by a chime sound is activated when the ignition is turned off any time either rear door is opened during a trip or within 10 minutes of start-up. GM has committed to rolling this feature out in all of their models within the next few years as
standard equipment. On Sunday, Aug 21 the Cornwall Olde Car Club and NAPA Cornwall present Autorama 2016 at the Navcentre at 1950 Montreal Road East, Hwy # 2 in the east end of Cornwall.

Ghost Stories has one more weekend at Full Circle Theatre – don’t miss it! The bad news is, if you haven’t yet seen BarnDoor Productions’ Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, you haven’t seen one of the most intense, musical and entertaining productions of the year. The good news is, if you haven’t yet seen Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing, you still have four more chances to do so – the community theatre company’s usual two weekend run has been extended to three weekends for this “musical chiller.� Ghost Stories is an engrossing, at least party-true tale of murder and more from the very early days of settlement of the Perth area. Some audience comments include “An amazing show!�; “I loved every minute of it.�; “I was excited from beginning to end.� Taking the bare “bones� of the legend of Oliver’s Landing as its basis, the show tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, who ran the ferry and an inn at what is now Rideau Ferry, Ontario, in the early 1820s. Their untimely and unfortunate ends have been woven into a tale of romance and revenge that is leaving audiences stunned – and cheering. The show is laugh-out-loud funny, at the same time being dark and deep and chilling. It is scary, while also being romantic and wonderfully melodic. As one audience member put it “I was terrified while I was laughing out loud.�
He’s a serene highness! Mr. and Mrs. Oliver (David Jacklin and Julie Kevan) have some fun at the expense of (deceased) Mr. Bumfry (Ian Jenner, centre) in Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing. The “musical chiller� is funny and scary and intense and very exciting and runs for one more weekend at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. Submitted photo
It is definitely unlike anything you’re going to find anywhere else – and it is entirely original, something that may be lost on a lot of people. You just don’t expect an all-out, Broadway-style musical to be created by a local company – especially not a musical that has received reviews like “(Ghost Stories) is superior stuff! It’s grim, clever, funny‌ thrilling, indeed!â€? from CBC Radio and “Lovers of good theatre can all rejoice!â€? from the Brockville Recorder & Times. Ghost Stories goes far beyond its local roots, while remaining a show that is all about local roots. Strong performances from the cast of 11 highlight the show as they take on the many roles in the story and as they tackle a musical score that goes from operatic to silly to dramatic to funny. This is a “integratedâ€? musical,

Hillier alarmed by Champlain CCAC service cuts to seniors MPP Randy Hillier (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington) expressed his alarm that seniors in the Champlain Community Care Access Centre’s (CCAC) catchment area are having their Personal Support Worker (PSW) care visits cut in half. After meeting with a
number of PSWs that work in the Champlain CCAC region, and as highlighted in a recent story by Bob Hepburn of the Toronto Star, Hillier has learned that many seniors will see their assisted care reduced to a 15-minute visit. “What kind of care could we possibly be providing

Hillier has penned a letter to the board chair and the president of the Champlain CCAC, demanding a reversal of the policy decision, and suggesting that they instead focus on the larger financial problems and find greater efficiencies within administration before diminishing patient services. It appears these changes have been initiated in the Champlain CCAC catchment area, however it is anticipated they will expand to other CCACs prior to their anticipated incorporation into the LHINs with Bill 210.

How to avoid encounters with bears while enjoying the outdoors Bears usually avoid humans. Generally, you won’t see a bear even if one is close by. Remember, you are a visitor in the bear’s home range, so do all you can to avoid encounters. Make noise as you move through wooded areas, especially in areas where background noise is high, such as near streams and waterfalls. Singing, whistling or talking will alert bears to your presence, giving them a chance to avoid you. Travel with others if possible. Be aware of your surroundings; do not wear headphones and keep an eye out for signs of bears, such as tracks, claw marks on trees, flipped-over rocks or fresh bear droppings. Consider bringing a whistle, air horn, longhandled axe or bear spray. If you bring bear spray, know how to use it. Avoid strong fragrances that may cause a bear to be curious; put any food you are carrying in sealed containers in your pack. If you are out with a dog, control it. Uncontrolled dogs may actually lead a bear to you. While berry picking, occasionally scan your surroundings to check for bears and rise slowly from your crouched positions so you don’t startle any nearby bears. They may not recognize you as a human when you are in a crouched position. If the bear is not paying any attention to you, slowly and quietly back away while watching the bear to make sure it isn’t following you. Do not approach the bear. If the bear obviously knows you are there, raise your arms to let the bear know you are a human. Make yourself look as big as possible. Speak in a firm but non-threatening voice while looking at the bear and backing away. Watch the bear to gauge its reaction to you. Generally, the noisier the bear is, the less dangerous it is, providing you don’t approach the bear. If a bear huffs, pops its jaw or stomps its paws on
the ground, it wants you to back away and give it space. If a bear approaches you, drop any food you may be carrying and continue backing up. If the bear continues to approach, stand your ground and stay calm – use your whistle or air horn, speak loudly, stand tall, wave your arms and throw objects. If a bear keeps advancing and is getting close, be aggressive and continue to stand your ground. Use bear spray and anything else to threaten or distract the bear; bears will often first test to see if it is safe to approach you. Do not run or climb a tree. Bears can run faster and climb better than you. If the bear makes contact, fight back. Avoiding bears while camping When enjoying Ontario’s campsites, lakes, forests and hiking trails, remember that you’re in the natural habitat of bears. Bears have a keen sense of smell and are attracted by the odour of human food and garbage. To avoid conflicts with bears, prepare...and be aware. Know before you go: You are responsible for your own safety. Plan your trip with safety in mind. Before you go, learn about black bears to recognize signs of bear activity (like tracks and droppings) and how to prevent and handle encounters with bears. Think about how you will handle your garbage and how you will keep your campsite clean and odour free. Pack long ropes for hanging your food pack. Practice hanging a pack before you go. If you are bringing children, always keep an eye on them. When hiking, it is wise to keep children between adults. Before you leave home, discuss bears with children. Teach children simple things like making sure they can always see an adult; to never approach a bear or other animals; to never run from a bear; and, if they see a bear, to stay calm and call for help. Keep dogs away from
bears. The bear may follow the dog back to its owner. All odours attract bears. Pack all food, including dog food, with special care. Double or triple-bagged food will reduce smells. Consider choosing meals that require minimal preparation. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry or Ontario Parks can provide general information about recent campsite or route closures due to bear problems. Keep in mind, however, that bear activity cannot be predicted.
At your campsite: Look for signs of bear activity nearby. Consider moving elsewhere if it appears a bear has been active in the area. No matter where you camp, always pack out all garbage from the backcountry and use bear-resistant containers where available. Store food so bears cannot access it; in a bear-resistant location or container or hanging at least four metres (13 feet) above the ground and three metres (10 feet) from tree limbs or trunks that can support a bear. If you plan to camp in re-
mote areas, you should take additional precautions to ensure your personal safety. If you are going to an Ontario park or a private campground, follow advice provided. Eliminate or reduce odours from yourself, your camp, your clothes and your vehicle. Clean fish away from your campsite. Store leftover food away from your campsite in sealed plastic bags and, if possible, in bear-resistant containers. Burn food scraps and fat drippings thoroughly in a fire. Drain dish water away from

your campsite. Never cook, eat or store any food (including snacks), cooking equipment or toiletries in your tent. If you are sleeping in a tent, try not to sleep in clothes you have worn while cooking. Fishing tackle and bait, clothes worn while cooking, garbage, toiletries and all snacks should be stored in a bear-resistant and away from the site. Visit ontario.ca/bearwise for more information on bears. Submitted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry

Time to Fill-The-Bus in support of the House of Lazarus Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Time to Fill-The-Bus! The second annual FillThe-Bus event, in support of the House of Lazarus, is coming to Kemptville on Aug. 26. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., two buses will be stationed outside Jonsson’s Independent Grocer and the Kemptville Walmart collecting food for HOL. “The goal is to fill the bus,” said Kim Merkley, manager of client services at HOL. “We’re hoping to have grocery bags full of food on every seat.” Each month, the HOL foodbank supports between 100 and 110 local families. Having two buses, which
were donated by Lannin Bus Line and Wubs Transit, will allow each to remain at its respective site for the full four hours, rather than move around. The items the HOL foodbank is short on this month include canned meat, pasta, pork and beans, canned pasta, Side Kicks, Hamburger Helper, crackers, diapers size three and up, juice, Jell-O, pudding mix, desert mix and condiments. “We have never run out of pork and beans before,” said Merkley. She pointed out the foodbank shelves, which were looking bare. She explained what’s really pulled the foodbank through the

summer months is Robert Noseworthy, of Westerra Homes, who comes twice a month faithfully with a carload of groceries to restock the shelves. “He’s been phenomenal,” said Merkley. “He’s really carried us through the summer with essential items for our clients.” The HOL is hoping to get some youth participating in the Fill-The-Bus event again this year. The HOL supports the GIAG (Glengarry Inter-Agency Group) Child and Youth programs with a Rural Kids grant. This year, some of that grant funding will be going to the Kemptville Youth Centre. “We’re expanding the program and sponsoring the KYC as well,” said Merkley. “The grant provides them with food for their after-school programming, like teaching kids how to cook and providing them with snacks. It’s really exciting.” The gardens at the HOL have also expanded this year, allowing for more fresh produce to be distributed to foodbank clients. The HOL received funding for two summer students, who have been busy tending the gardens. The 30th anniversary supper, in support of the HOL, will be held at the Mountain Township Agricultural Hall on Sept. 14. All funds raised through ticket sales for the dinner, which cost $25 each, will go directly to the HOL thanks to generous sponsorship from the Scotiabank in South

Second annual ‘Name the Well’ contest aims to raise $2,000 for the Ryan’s Well Foundation Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
How many people can say they have a well named after them in Africa? At least one, thanks to the Ryan’s Well Foundation. The second annual ‘Name the Well’ contest is running from now until Sept. 1. For every $25 donated to the foundation, people get entered into a draw to win naming rights for a well in Northern Uganda. “Our summer student last year came up with the idea,” said Ryan Hreljac, assistant project manager for Ryan’s Well. “It was a success last year,
?
!
so it was something we wanted to do again.” Last year, the winner chose to name it the ‘Pat Well.’ “It’s something we can do to help get clean water to more people,” said Hreljac. Last year, between 100 and 200 ballots were sold during the contest, covering the cost of building the well. The water projects being undertaken by Ryan’s Well this fiscal year have been identified and now fundraising efforts will determine how much work can be done. “Fundraising determines how much we can do,” said Hreljac. “That’s why we do
things like the ‘Name the Well’ contest, so we can meet project goals.” Last year, the foundation completed approximately 90 water projects, including wells, harvest tanks and protected springs. “This year, we have close to 100 projects we’re hoping to complete.” The goal is to raise $2,000 through the contest. “It’s an awesome way to be a part of giving clean water to people and have some fun too,” said Hreljac.

Book lovers take note – 13th annual KYC Book Fair kicks-off Aug. 25 Jennifer Westendorp
packed that day to be sent to Smiths Falls for their book fair (put on by the Smiths Falls and District Club for Youth).” Already, the book fair has amassed 40,000 books for people to choose from. Books are still being accepted and should be dropped off at the FFC in the morning on Aug. 15, 17, 19 and 22 and in the afternoon on Aug. 16, 18, 23 and 28. New this year is the educator’s hour sponsored by TD Bank in Kemptville.

Book worms on the ready! The day all local book lovers have waited an entire year for is nearly here. The 13th annual Kemptville Youth Centre Book Fair, sponsored by O’Farrell Financial Services, kicks off Aug. 25 at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville. The four-day event raises funds for the mortgage and property taxes at the KYC, which supports local youth with quality programming and essential services. “We’re calling people in North Grenville to make a difference in the lives of youth one book at a time,” said Robin Heald, KYC executive director. “With every book you donate, help sort or buy, you are making a difference in the lives of local youth.” Last year, the popular event brought in $21,000 for the KYC – covering the mortgage costs and property taxes for an entire year. The additional funds raised, totaling $10,000, was put directly on the principle amount of the KYC’s mortgage. “It was very exciting to be able to put such a big chunk down on the mortgage,” said Heald. The goal this year is to raise $20,000 for the KYC. The book fair runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and
Our goal is to keep running the book fair until the mortgage is paid off. I’m loving that people are still reading great books and helping build the community while they do it.” Heald expressed her gratitude and thanks to the several sponsors and volunteers who make this happen. “We’re still accepting door prizes and silent auction items if anyone would like to donate.” Table sponsorships for different genres of books are nearly sold out. “There’s still a few more tables available for sponsorship,” Heald said. “If businesses are interested, their logos will be displayed prominently on the tables during the book fair.”

Breathe Dance Company hosting dance party fundraiser for Baby Everley Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Everley Yolkowskie, born Jan. 14, 2016, is one of 1,000 people in the world with a rare genetic disorder. She suffers from Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), which affects the body’s autonomic function of the respiratory drive. Every time she falls asleep, or gets tired or sick, she could die. Baby Everley, as she has become known, has spent half her short life at CHEO in Ottawa. Everley has also been diagnosed with another rare disorder, Glucagon Malfunction, causing her to have critical episodes of hypoglycemia. Her parents, Sarah Patterson and Jordan Yolkowskie, are both personal trainers in Smiths Falls. Lindsay Roney, owner of Breathe Dance Company in Merrickville, was moved to tears when she heard about Baby Everley. So she decided to do something about it. “I have friends who know the family,” she explained. “There are so many different

5
heard about it.” On Aug. 27, Roney is hosting a dance party fundraiser for Baby Everley and her family. From 11 a.m. to 12 noon, kids age five and under are invited to
come learn some dance moves and have fun. From 12:15 to 1:30 p.m., kids age six and up will have a chance to hit the dance floor and learn choreographed moves from profes-
sional instructors. The cost for each child is $5, with all proceeds going to Baby Everley. “I like that kids are going to be able to help another kid,” said Roney. “That’s really important.” Everyone is welcome to come join in the dance party, learn some new moves and have fun, all for a good cause. The story really hit close to home with Roney, whose son Leo is about the same age as Everley. “It really makes you appreciate the small things in life, like your health and your children’s health,” said Roney. Breathe Dance Company is also hosting a back-to-school clothing drive currently. All clothes for school aged kids, from kindergarten up to high school, are being accepted. “For people who aren’t able to drive here to drop off the clothes, I can come pick them up,” said Roney. “The same goes for people who need clothes. Just let me know what sizes and I can drop them off to you.” On Aug. 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., people are welcome to come look through the donated
clothes at the Breathe Dance studio and take what they need for their kids before they head back to school this year. “If people are going to get rid of something, they might as well pass it on to the next person for free,” said Roney. “There are families out there who don’t have the ability to buy new clothes for their kids. It’s only fair for all kids to go back to school wearing new clothes that fit.” All the clothing will be organized into sizes on Aug. 28, to make it easier for people to find what they need. “People are being very generous,” said Roney. “If we are able to raise kids as supported, as well as supportive, then they’re more likely to become supportive adults. If we are able to raise a supportive community then everyone can thrive.” Breathe Dance is located at 629 St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville. For more information about the dance party and clothing drive, contact Roney directly by emailing breathedanceco@gmail.com or calling (613)-206-7007. With files from Amy Hogue

Nominate your favourite server and you could both win a delicious prize Excellent servers are often undervalued for their knowledge and attention to details, as they strive to make the customers’ experience thoroughly enjoyable. The long hours, physical strain on the body (being on your feet sometimes for up to 12 hours), being pleasant and accommodating for everyone takes a special person. This is your chance
to write a brief story of one server who goes above and beyond, or truly stands out as exceptional in your view. The way to enter your vote is to go to the Facebook page of TLC Soupfest and describe in the comments below the post what your experience was and the name of the server, as well as where they work - from Morrisburg to Manotick, and Chester-
ville to Perth. You can also email your nomination to lynnford2013@gmail.com with the subject of ‘nominate your server.’ Just the name of your server and where she/he works is not sufficient. A brief story is required. Your nomination will go to three judges and the winner will be chosen on Sunday, Aug. 28th between
2:30 and 4 p.m. at The Hard Stones Grill, located at 2727 County Rd 43 in Kemptville. Everyone is welcome to come out and taste, as well as experience, what I have most understandingly put together as the server survival kit. Specifically with servers in mind, this kit increases energy, focus, improves mood with low sugar intake, re-
duces inflammation, soothes tired muscles and eliminates discomfort from burns and cuts, helps you get to sleep after a fast paced late night and need to work the early shift next day. This is the perfect kit to help you feel alert and your best in a much healthier and more sustainable way. Submitted by Lynn Ford, TLC Soupfest coordinator

Artist breaks free of patterns to create unique style Kelly McCarthy
When she finds a photo that speaks to her, she opens it in Photoshop and gets to work. “There’s no real process or system that I follow,” Law said. “I just do whatever feels right – it’s intuitive.” Law said she has studied various Photoshop techniques through classes and through trial and error. She uses a variety of tools in each piece. Law’s art combines concrete images with abstract concepts to create unique pieces that she sells only once – she doesn’t
kmccarthy@metroland.com
Moira Law has never been satisfied with following a pattern. Her journey as an artist has meant creating her own path – and her own unique style of art. Law says her distinctive form of art doesn’t have an official name, but she likes to call it “digital collage art.” She uses photos, images, text and Photoshop software to create oneof-a-kind medleys that “turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.” “Where my art comes from is not under my conscious control,” Law said of her pieces. “The world can sometimes be not a nice place. What I’m trying to create is a bit of a holiday from that.” Law, a resident of Mountain Township, will be featured as a guest artist on this year’s Discovery Tour from Sept. 17 and 18 in North Gower, Kars and Manotick. The art studio tour includes 14 stops and more than 30 artists throughout the region. Participants are invited to visit one or more of the stops over the weekend to browse a variety of local art, from paintings to pottery. LONG JOURNEY For most of her life, art was nothing more than a hobby. It wasn’t until a few years before Law retired that she really found her niche. “I’m a late bloomer for sure,” she joked. Born to a military family, Law spent much of her life living a bit of a nomadic lifestyle, never staying in one place for long. By the age of six, she had already crossed North America four times – and the lifestyle stuck. In her adult life, after marrying a pilot, Law had lived in places like Quebec City and Germany before settling in Mountain Township 20 years ago. Growing up with a businessoriented family, Law found herself drawn to art but pursuing a career in business. She filled her spare time with artistic hobbies – dabbling in knitting and other mediums, never content with following the patterns – but never thought to merge her passions with her livelihood. “I was always seeking the art world,” Law said. “If I could live my life again I’d go to art school for sure.” It wasn’t until digital single-
create multiple prints of each piece. “It truly is one-of-a-kind,” she said. Law said art is the one thing she can do tirelessly, working long and happy hours often to create her pieces. “I want people to be able to look at something ordinary and see it in a different way,” she said. “That’s what I aspire to do.” For more information on the Discovery Tour or for a full list of artists and stops, visit www. discovery-tour.ca.

Moira Law, of Mountain Township, uses photos, images, text and Photoshop software to create digital collages that aim to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Her art will be featured on the Discovery Tour of North Gower, Kars and Manotick studios Sept. 17 and 18. lens reflex (DSLR) cameras became affordable in the mid2000s that Law really hit her stride. “I started with film photog-

Law finds herself drawn to photographing exotic things that aren’t seen nearby, such as landscapes in Egypt or Newfoundland.
Gardener’s Corner
The heat goes on Continuing last week’s thread, the heat goes on and on and on. We have had the odd cloud that shed a little moisture but nothing that hadn’t evaporated an hour later. In an interview, Dave Phillips, senior climatologist at Environment Canada observed that as of Aug 10, 2016, we have recorded the 100 driest days on record dating back to 1930. From April 1 to July 27 we are 120mm of precipitation below average. As I mentioned last week, I’m getting lots of questions about how to cope. Even from my sister. Here are a few things I hope will help. First, forget about your lawn. I know it’s brown and crunchy and looks dead. It’s not. When we do get some rain you will be amazed at how fast it greens up. So don’t spin up your water meter and just enjoy a break from weekly mowing. The next group that doesn’t require intervention are any deeply rooted mature trees and the native species you have in the garden. They’ve been through this before. Maybe not this extreme but they are resilient. Angie and I have noticed a big change this year. Most of our ferns have turned brown, the astilbe, monarda and filipendula bloomed and withered, and even hostas in the shade have started curling their leaves. The phlox has been short lived and the foliage covered with powdery mildew. The farmers in this area are not having a good year. Corn is turning brown in the field, soybeans are stunted and even the market
gardeners are losing some varieties. Veggies are small and there is an epidemic of blossom end rot on tomatoes. We are hearing stories of wells going dry. The Weather Network has a precipitation map that shows the area from Hamilton to Cornwall is now under severe drought. So, where to concentrate your efforts? Any newly planted trees or shrubs. Any perennial that has not had sufficient time to establish a robust root system. They will need the water. Anything in a container needs close scrutiny. Birds, bees and butterflies are also suffering. The worms have gone deep and our robins just look discouraged. The bees are not getting a sustained supply of nectar. The chickens have abandoned following Angie with her weeding. Normally she would turn up lots of tasty bugs. This year she is digging up dust. Both our ponds are dry as is the creek across the road. We have several birdbaths on the property, most of them shallow, to help out the butterflies and small birds. They evaporate faster then the containers. When they are replenished the reaction is almost immediate. It’s so rewarding seeing the birds getting to splash and get a drink. As per his last wishes, we planted a MacIntosh apple tree to remember Dad. It is getting very special attention. Dad could take the heat. His tree will go on. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

What makes the Giving Garden, located just off County Road 43 on the Ferguson Forest Centre property, great is its simplicity. People from all walks of life come together to grow food to share with other people from all walks of life. The problem is some people can’t wrap their minds around the concept of ‘there for the taking.’ The Giving Garden was created on the premise of promoting a community hub of sharing. Community members care for the garden, benefit from the garden, and donate what remains at the end of each week. Some people think you have to work at the Giving Garden to take from it, but that’s not the point. Whether you volunteer your time or not, those vegetables are up for grabs for anyone who wants them. And who doesn’t love vegetables? There are carrots, squash, zucchini, tomatoes and potatoes (not quite ripe yet!), beans and so much more. I don’t know if it’s the society we live in, but the fact people aren’t taking advantage of this incredible local resource baffles me. I bet if I set up a sign stating ‘free car wash’ on the side of the road, people would drive right by, for fear of a scam or being seen taking advantage of what’s perceived as charity.
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION One of the greatest lessons my parents taught me in life is never turn down free coffee. And I don’t. I love coffee, although I am sure there is a deeper meaning to that statement than just bean grinds and water. The point is not to be prideful. People give me free stuff all the time – clothes, shoes, furniture – things they don’t want or need any longer. It’s great, because I don’t have to buy any of that stuff and it doesn’t end up in the landfill. I have, let’s say, simpler tastes than some people. I don’t care if stuff is old, outdated or worn. As long as it still works, I’ll take it. I’ll blame my dad for my salvaging attitude. I once kept a lamp, purchased from the Salvation Army for $5, for a full year after the switch to turn it on and off broke. Turning it on was easy. Turning it off occasionally led to a minor burn. But it still worked. So stop by the Giving Garden this week to pick some produce, or just to check it out. It’s there for the community and the community needs to learn to take advantage of it. Besides, how could anyone say no to a free zucchini?

The rural wave and other country traditions
T
he Kemptville Farmer’s Market is more than just an opportunity for me to sell some books and unload a truckload of zucchini. It’s my social time. I get to visit with people I haven’t seen in years, catch up with close friends and meet loyal readers of this column for the first time. Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to stop by and say hi. Sometimes I get really good suggestions for columns too. Last week a woman said she would like me to write about the disappearance of the rural wave. Many farmers still do it – it’s a hard habit to break. When you’re on the road headed to market and you pass another pickup truck, you put two fingers to your temple and give a quick salute. Some of you just raise your hand slightly from the steering wheel. The light effort is symbolic of the casual nature of the wave. It may also be a sign that you are a bit low on energy, as you have been working hard on your farm. Your laid-back nature is indicative of your lifestyle. You take your time and live in the moment, aware of your sur-

roundings. The weather determines your daily activities. You’re on farm time. You probably drive a bit slower than city folk as well. What’s your hurry? That kind of wave. That is how it is done. And it seems to be a lost art. I grew up in the country outside the bustling metropolis of Kemptville when it boasted a population of about 4,000. There were no subdivisions to speak of, and we knew just about everyone in town and the surrounding hamlets. We didn’t live on a farm but we certainly knew how to do the rural wave. It was a comforting gesture. It said, “I know you. We are neighbours. Go safely.” My father in his Chevy Silverado rarely missed the opportunity to wave as he passed someone he knew.
I still get to do the rural wave a few times a week, because I live near a single-lane bridge. If two vehicles are approaching this bridge from either side, you have to decide who will go first. Now let me tell you, it’s a sure sign that you aren’t from around here if you speed up to get across the bridge before the other approaching vehicle gets there. The neighbourly thing to do is to decrease your speed and pull over slightly. When you are close enough to the bridge you decide who is closest and let them go first, obviously. If you both reach the bridge at exactly the same time, it is common courtesy to let the other person go first. Pull over, signal to the ditch and that will indicate to the other person you are letting them go. Sometimes the courtesy volleys back and forth a few times before the final concession is made. “You go first.” (beckons the other driver with a flick of the wrist) “No, by all means, you go first.” (a come-along motion) “Oh all right then, thank you very much.” (driver proceeds across bridge, deploys the rural wave).
I have to admit I don’t recognize half the vehicles or drivers that I used to. We have grown in population and I’ve lost track of who owns what farm. Other than at the single lane bridge crossing, there are only a handful of people I wave to when I pass them on the road. These are family members, and lifelong friends like, for example, Jim Perry. Being a truck dealer he is always in a different set of wheels but I’m pretty recognizable in Dora the Explorer so he usually recognizes me and waves first. As the descendant of a multigeneration farm family, the rural wave is a habit he likely won’t be breaking soon. And yet I’m sure when he recog-
nizes and waves at some people, they probably give him a confused look. “What? Is my headlight out? Should I pull over?” the uninitiated can be bewildered by the wave. It is probably best to reserve it for those who know its purpose. But for those you recognize, wave away. You might get a text a short time later, asking you what’s going on, but you can explain you are just being neighbourly. We’re from the country and we like it that way.

Giving Garden continues to give this growing season Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
It all started with an idea. A man named Terry McEvoy decided Kemptville needed a Giving Garden. Now, years later, that garden continues to grow and provide fresh produce for people in the community. The sign when you enter the Giving Garden reads: ‘Where you do not see the example, be the example – where you do not see hope, be the hope.’ Everything grown in the Giving Garden, which is located off County Road 43 in Kemptville on the Ferguson Forest Centre property, is free. People are welcome to come pick what they need. Currently, there are ripe zucchinis and yellow and green beans. “The beats are doing really well this year,” said volunteer Linda Desroches. “The squash are coming in nicely too.” The Giving Garden also has eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots this year. “This is about helping to feed people,” stated Desroches. The beautiful flowers that adorn the garden are also free for the taking and people are encouraged to come cut a bouquet for a loved one or someone who might need a little something to brighten their day. “Anyone can come anytime to pick what they need,” said Desroches. Despite constant reminders, people continue to pull entire plants from the ground, rather than just harvesting what they need. When volunteers arrived on Aug. 10, they found potato

Any extra bounty crop goes to the Salvation Army in Kemptville. The land where the Giving Garden is located has been donated by the Municipality of North Grenville. Volunteers are
always needed to help maintain the garden and harvest vegetables. Every Wednesday morning, known as Weedless Wednesdays, volunteers gather to pull weeds and pick that week’s
yield. The Giving Garden is a place for the people of North Grenville to work, learn and share as a community, and generate habits of service, cooperation and unconditional giving.
Planting begins in June and the Giving Garden continues to operate into the fall. Check out the Giving Garden Facebook page for more information and to see more photos.

Capital Fair runs Aug. 19-28 Kelly McCarthy
kmccarthy@metroland.com
Monster truck shows, demolition derbies, horse shows, live music, hypnotists and Eastern Ontario’s largest midway – these are just a few of the attractions coming to Ottawa Aug. 19 to 28. Quickly becoming one of the largest fairs in the area, the Capital Fair at the Rideau Carleton Raceway offers 10 days of affordable family fun. “It’s going to be incredible,” said Harley Bloom, the fair’s general manager. “It is going to be the best entertainment for the value in the region.” With free gate admission and several no-cost attractions and events each day, Bloom said the event is the perfect opportunity to experience all the fun of a fair for next to nothing. Free attractions include an Ultimutts Stunt Dog Show, a demolition derby, a cruise night parade, a birds of prey show, western horse shows and live entertainment each day on the OLG (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission) Centre Stage. Of course, all of the usual fair staples will be available as well, including the midway and all the snacks and food you would expect. “We have a jam-packed agenda with lots of action going on,” Bloom said. “And a lot of it is completely free.”
MONSTER TRUCK MANIA
One of the biggest attractions offered at the Capital Fair is the Monster Trucks in Motion Show offered on Aug. 20 at 1 and 5 p.m. and Aug. 21 at 1 p.m. The show includes three components: Mini Monsters, Trailer Races and Demo Cross. “This is an outdoor show,” Bloom said, “which means these guys can get up to speeds and heights and do tricks they couldn’t do in an arena.” Tickets for the show are available in advance online at the Capital Fair website (www.capitalfair.ca) for $20 or at the door for $25. MIDWAY The Capital Fair boasts the largest midway in Eastern Ontario, drawing approximately 250,000 people to the event each year. Passes for the midway can be purchased at the fair for $38 each (offering full access to the midway for one day) – but until Thursday, Aug. 18 at midnight, tickets are available for presale for $19.99. While that’s a great deal, Bloom said, there is an even better one available. During the first hour of the fair this year (between noon and 1 p.m. on Aug. 19) Osgoode ward Coun. George Darouze will offer one free hour at the midway for all guests present.

Letter to the Editor
Via Rail cuts affect train service in smaller Ontario communities Dear Mr. Desjardins-Siciliano:
I am writing about cuts to Via Rail service in recent years that discourage residents in smaller communities from taking the train. The reduction or elimination of staffing at many smaller Via stations and the move to high parking fees at local stations has made Via a less-attractive option for many travellers, but the schedule changes enacted in recent years have been especially damaging. As an example, I look at the service in my hometown of Brockville, Ontario, for travellers who wish to go to Montreal. On weekdays, there are four trains a day that go from Brockville to Montreal, but two of them are routed through Ottawa, turning a twohour trip into more than five hours, eliminating the train as an option for many travellers. The only two trains that stop in Brockville and take a direct route to Montreal are at 2:48 p.m. and 7:54 p.m. - of no use to anyone who needs to get to Montreal in the morning or early afternoon. On weekends, the situation is even worse. There are only two trains from Brockville to Montreal, one of which takes five hours and 39 minutes to get there. I find this situation unac-
ceptable, considering that nine trains stop in Kingston on their way to Montreal on weekdays, five of which proceed directly west, without being diverted north to Ottawa. On weekends, all five of those trains continue to operate out of Kingston. Likewise, Cornwall has five trains a day to Montreal. The situation is equally problematic on the return trip, with only two trains per weekday and one on weekends leaving Montreal and stopping in Brockville without the circuitous route through Ottawa. Meanwhile, Kingston has six direct trains from Montreal on weekdays and five on weekends, while Cornwall has five trains every day. As a frequent traveller on Via Rail, I know how little time it takes to stop at a station such as Brockville. Adding an additional stop for Montrealbound trains, particularly in the morning, and an early to mid-afternoon stop in Brockville for westbound trains out of Montreal would have a negligible cost for Via Rail, since these trains are already travelling through the city. I understand that Via wants to focus on high-volume routes, but in this case, Brockville is located directly on the most profitable route. Adding an ad-
ditional stop in each direction would not detract from that focus, while also sending a message that the corporation cares about the need of small-town Canada. This letter focuses on the needs of one community, but the same is true of many other small and medium-sized communities in Ontario, in which service has been reduced or eliminated to the point where it is questionable whether or not Via Rail is fulfilling its mandate to offer a national passenger rail transportation service that is safe, secure, efficient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable, and that meets the needs of travellers in Canada.” Taxpayers in small communities contribute to Via’s financial subsidy, yet do not receive a proportionate share of the service. I’m asking you to take that into consideration and to reassess the level of service provided to communities such as Brockville. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely, Senator Robert W. Runciman, The Honourable Robert (Bob) Runciman Senator-Ontario (Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes)
Take part in ATV poker run, support palliative care Tim Ruhnke
truhnke@metroland.com
It’s almost time to hit the trails for another late-summer rural ramble. The ATV Charity Poker Run in North Augusta is set for Saturday, Aug. 27. The event is based in the field at 10101 Jellyby Rd. near the curve at Rock Springs Road. The fundraiser organized by the Kroot family is now in its ninth year. To date, the ATV rally has raised $20,000 for local organizations. As was the case in 2015, this year’s recipient is Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service. The route is more than 42 km long; riders can expect to encounter some mud along the way, noted Carolin Kroot.
Riders are welcome to go at their own pace; there are card stops along the route. The top three poker hands win cash prizes of $100, $75 and $50 respectively. About 220 vehicles took part in the 2015 rally, which is the biggest response to date. Kroot is optimistic that this year’s turnout will set another record. “We’ve had a lot of interest already,” she said. Registration opens at 10 a.m. on the 27th. The entry fee is $15 per participant. Additional poker hands can be purchased. A barbecue will be held in the registration area; proceeds from the sale of food and drinks also go to palliative care. Many of the riders are from outside the immediate area; local residents are invited to give the poker run a try.

Merrickville–Wolford ready for new CAO Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The following is a list of briefs pertaining to recent MerrickvilleWolford council discussions. Communities in Bloom ranking to be revealed Sept. 17 The Communities in Bloom ranking from the recent evaluation process will be revealed on Sept. 17. The judges, who toured Merrickville-Wolford on July 27 and 28, provided positive feedback on the community. “This is all part of a threeyear plan,” said Mayor David Nash. “We had two wonderful judges visit us and we’re all anxious to see the results.” The evaluation will provide Merrickville-Wolford with an outline of strengths and weaknesses within the community and what to work on for the CiB process in 2017. In 2018, the goal is to win the award for prettiest small town in Canada – 20 years after it was dubbed the ‘jewel of the Rideau’ back in 1998 by Communities in Bloom. Nash extended thanks to Connie Adams, the driving force behind the CiB process this year, Deputy Mayor Anne Barr, the
council liaison throughout the process, Michael Whittaker of the Merrickville and District Historical Society, committee members Val Morris, Tim Malloy, Jane-Anne McIntyre, Hope Gray, Angela Beking, Robyn Griff and Sandra Kurus. He also extended thanks to Mainstreet Restaurant, the Yellow Canoe Café, the Goose and Gridiron, 1840 Guest House, the Merrickville Chamber of Commerce and the public works department, all of whom contributed greatly to the Communities in Bloom process. “Thanks to all the residents and business owners who helped tidy up the community,” said Nash. Planning for the 2017 Communities in Bloom process is already in the works. Special meeting A special meeting of council was held on Aug. 8 to discuss the Canada 150 grant applications. “The treasurer is working on the applications currently,” said Nash. “It’s a priority for us to get those applications in.” He explained the applications include requests from the Merrickville Lions Club, the Mer-
rickville and District Historical Society and Theatre Night in Merrickville. “There is a whole list of potential elements for 2017,” said Nash. Some of the possible elements for the Canada Day celebration next year include the presence of steam boats in the canal, Collar Hill Cemetery restoration and an enhanced historical re-enactment at the Blockhouse. Another possible element, as stated in the report, is to erect a simplified temporary version of an 1860s ceremonial arch at the end of St. Lawrence Street, painted green and hung with Union Jacks and a portrait of Queen Victoria. The purpose of the grant applications is to enhance Canada Day, Canalfest and the Blockhouse celebrations in 2017. The total approximate value of the grant applications is $70,000. Merrickville-Wolford ready to welcome new CAO Merrickville-Wolford will be hiring a new CAO in the near future. A total of 120 applicants put forth their names for the job, out of which seven were shortlisted for interviews. “The announcement will be made shortly,” said Nash.
Our community raised over $10,000 and Canadian Tire matched $6,000 for a total of $16,000. All proceeds will stay in North Grenville to help local kids.

Doors Open North Grenville Municipality moving in doles out brochures and t‘positive direction’ Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
A total of $1.6 million is being spent on roadwork this year. “There are always roads that need to be done now that fall below the line (cut from budget),” said Karen Dunlop, director of public works. Four sections of municipal roadway that need to be rehabilitated now did not make the cut in the 2016 budget; Gabert Road, Visiting Road, Actons Corners (from County Road 43 to River Road) and a section of Craig Road. “We have a list of roads classified as now-needs,” said Dunlop. The list of now-needs consists of approximately 20 sections of municipal roadways, including the roads being addressed in this year’s budget. Every five years, an independent study of all 300 kilometers of municipal roadways is conducted to determine their condition. “It’s basically a full meal deal review of all the roads in North Grenville. It’s an outside set of eyes that compiles a list we use to determine now-need projects.” The last roads analysis was in 2012, which makes 2017 the re-set year for determining now-needs road projects. “They will analyze the condition of the road – drainage, shoulders, road base and
road surface – and produce a report,” she said. “It provides an overview of the entire road network. They look at how many houses are on the road, how many vehicles drive on it and what types of vehicles they are.” In 2012, the report showed a 10-year need of a little over $17 million for municipal roads. This year, $2.8 million worth of nowneeds road projects were submitted to council for consideration. “There is $1.6 million being spent on roads this year.” This year’s roads projects include; gravel rebuild of Whitney Road, gravel rebuild of McGovern Road East, Townline Road (from County Road 20 to Tompkin Road), multiple sections of River Road, Bedell Road (from pavement to Dennison Road), French Settlement Road (from County Road 22 to Boundary), Smith Road (1.6 kilometers from County Road 20) and preventative overlay on Davis Road and Haskins Road. Also included in the 2016 budget is $170,000 worth of various short hot patch sections. “The municipality is moving in a positive direction,” said Dunlop. In 2015, council approved $1.7 million of roadwork. “Last year, we did more pavement. This year, it’s more gravel. In the last five years, the municipality has hard surfaced over 20 kilometers of gravel roads.”
We will be offering this program in Kemptville in early September. Assessments will be held Tuesday, August 23rd! Contact Barbara Bertrand at 613-498-2111 ext. 232 or at barb@eecentre.com to register.

· LO C A L FOOD C ORNER · Why Local Food? Local Food Corner is a brand new monthly section that will be featured in the Kemptville Advance. The goal of this section is to inform people about what’s happening locally in the area of local food. Why is local food important? Local food is critical for both food security and to strengthen our local economy. When food is produced locally, we are less vulnerable to food shortages due to events that happen in other countries where our food comes from. Also, when you buy local food, that money stays in the community, making our local economy more self-sufficient and sustainable. The following story is about a great local food program that is being operated by the Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls. Thanks to Bruce Enloe of Two Rivers for submitting it. There’s a new way to buy even more local food in North Grenville/Merrickville. You can do it by
purchasing directly from local farms through the Two Rivers Food Hub’s online marketplace! The Two Rivers Food Hub is a not-for-profit social enterprise with a mission to expand markets for the farmers of the Lanark and Leeds-Grenville counties— that includes an all-new online marketplace for direct sales to everyday folks. If you’re interested in buying things like local chicken, pork, yogurt and lots of other products and picking them up, packed and ready, at a quick, efficient single stop, the food hub has made it easy… Just log on to tworiversfoodhub.com, click the ‘Buy Now’ page and follow the simple instructions.

Streep’s performance serves up perfect anti-blockbuster MOVIE: Florence Foster Jenkins STARRING: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, and Simon Helberg DIRECTOR: Stephen Frears RATING: PG It’s been nothing but explosions, aliens and superhuman battles since May. Which is great, but every once in a while I need to get off the blockbuster rollercoaster. This week I took a break with Florence Foster Jenkins. It’s 1944 in New York and wealthy heiress Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) is the heart and soul of the music community. Her love of music is boundless, and her enthusiasm infects all around her. Florence dreams of singing at Carnegie Hall, but her voice isn’t equal to her passion. Of course Florence has no idea she can’t sing. Her husband St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) has gone to extraordinary pains to ensure his wife remains unaware of her true
singing ability. When she performs he approves who gets tickets. He makes sure only ‘trusted’ members of the press are there. In short only those who love Florence attend. Then, while Mr. Bayfield is away, Florence decides to make her dream come true. She arranges a concert at Carnegie Hall, and gives away a thousand tickets to the brave soldiers returning home. For Florence it’s a triumph. For Bayfield it’s a disaster. It’s a situation where he can’t protect her. It’s also Florence’s dream so with the help of Florence’s pianist, Cosme McMoon (Simon Helberg), they do all they can to make it real. Based on the life of the real Mrs. Jenkins, Florence Foster Jenkins is a delight. It’s a story about love, devotion, and how passion can carry the day over talent. It’s a good-natured comedy with a few emotional twists and surprises. It’s the kind of film where you listen intently to what the
is aware of the arrangement and chooses to be ignorant, or if Bayfield simply keeps it secret. Regardless Hugh Grant plays this character in such a way that even though he lives with another woman you never question his devotion to Florence. It’s remarkable. You can’t help but laugh at MARK HASKINS Streep’s vocal gymnastics, but you never laugh at Florence. Streep takes actors say, and pay even more atten- this person with an almost childlike tion to what the actors do when they aren’t speaking. Simon Helberg plays the shy yet talented pianist hired to work with Florence. His facial expressions This is the third year for this popwhen he hears Florence sing for the ular gospel service at St. Andrew’s first time are priceless. It’s hysterical. United Church in Lanark. Some of Bayfield’s devotion to Florence is the old favourite gospel hymns inunquestioned, so it’s surprising when clude: Just a Closer Walk with Thee, we learn Bayfield has a girlfriend.

love of music and need to perform, and causes you to fall in love with her. You cheer her. You applaud her because you admire her spirit if not her talent. Florence Foster Jenkins is the opposite of a summer blockbuster. It’s quiet, subtle, and utterly lacking in explosions. In other words a definite must-see. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
My Take
Third annual gospel service in Lanark Aug. 21 will be provided by Mark Hannah on guitar, Jack Greer on banjo and Grant McFarlane on piano. The hymns will be led by St. Andrew’s choir who will be joined by some members of The Men of the Clyde. The service starts at 11 a.m. Following the service, a free lunch will be provided by members of the St. Andrew’s Choir.

The 150th anniversary of Confederation is almost here On behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, Julie Dabrusin, Member of Parliament (Toronto-Danforth), last week announced the start of the 150-day countdown to the official launch of celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Confederation. She announced that many spontaneous activities will surprise Canadians from coast to coast to coast in the lead-up to the start of a highly memorable year. Canada 150 will engage our communities through local activities for families and children, such as a surprise appearance of a star in a public place, creating a community garden, upgrading a public space or a public art project. “Today, barely 150 days remain before the official launch of major festivities scheduled for every region throughout 2017,” said Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage.
“I encourage all Canadians to join in the celebrations by getting involved right now in the many activities that will happen all across Canada. I am sure that these activities will build genuine enthusiasm. Together, let’s get ready to experience an extraordinary and memorable year! The countdown has started!” During the announcement, Dabrusin noted the participation of CBC/Radio-Canada in this initiative-which will enable Canadians across the country to witness and participate in various surprise activities that will take place across the country to mark the 150 remaining days before the 150th anniversary. “What a great opportunity to show how proud we are to be Canadian! Participate with as many others as you can, organize your own activities to mark the countdown and, above all, remember to invite your parents and friends to take
part in celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Confederation,” said Dabrusin. As we are preparing for a whole year of celebrations in 2017, Dabrusin took the opportunity to challenge Canadians. She invited them to organize their own activities to mark the countdown and to share their best moments on social media by using the hashtag #Canada 150 and the hashtags of the media partner for the Canada 150 countdown: #RadioCanada2017 and #CBC2017. “CBC/Radio-Canada is proud to be a part of the lead-up to 2017. Over the next 150 days, the public broadcaster will provide a space where Canadians can share their stories, ideas and perspectives and where they can engage with one another from coast to coast to coast,” stated Hubert T. Lacroix, president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada. To make 2017 a year that all Ca-
nadians will remember, the Government of Canada will continue to provide funding for national, regional and local projects and invite Canadians to take part in the many events scheduled for throughout the year. The Government of Canada’s vision seeks to bring people together and inspire them. It will highlight the themes of diversity and inclusiveness, young people, the environment and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Did you know... • The start of the countdown was also marked at events in Halifax, Charlottetown, Québec City, Montréal, Gatineau, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. • The Canada 150 countdown is intended to encourage participation by Canadians nationwide and to promote the celebrations that are about to start, which will continue
throughout 2017. • The Government of Canada’s vision for the 150th anniversary of Confederation includes four major themes: diversity and inclusiveness, the environment, young people, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Celebrations highlighting these themes will be held to bring people together and inspire them. • The Canada 150 Fund, established in April 2015, has an overall budget of $210 million.

SONNENBURG, Ed April 6, 1948 - August 19, 2014 Two years have passed since we lost a loving husband, Dad and Grandpa. God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And He whispered “Come to Me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, We watched you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard-working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He chose to take the best. It’s lonesome here without you, We miss you more each day, Life doesn’t seem the same, Since you have gone away. Love Ev, Carrie, Laura and family
OOMEN – In memory of Arlene Oomen (nee Majuary) passed away August 21, 2015. We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the day before that, too. We think of you in silence, We often say your name, But all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart. We shed tears for what might have been, A million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our heart you hold a place, No one could ever fill. It broke our heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. In our hearts forever Love your sisters Shirley, Donna, Judy, Nancy, Linda and families

We hold her close within our hearts, There she will remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again. To us she was so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That she was here today. Miss you so much “Lou” AKA, “BUG” Loved and always missed Love Ace, Sarah and Ace Jr.

Health Canada advises people to avoid craft, pesticide recipes using boric acid Health Canada is advising Canadians to avoid using boric acid for arts and crafts projects, such as homemade slime, or modelling clay. Health Canada is also advising against making homemade pesticides with boric acid. Boric acid, sometimes also called boron or borax, is found in the environment and Canadians are exposed to it naturally through food (such as fruit and vegetables) and drinking water. Canadians can also be exposed to boric acid through a variety of commonly used products, such as pesticides, cleaning products, homemade arts and craft materials, cosmetics, swimming pool and spa chemicals, and drugs and natural health products. A recent draft risk assessment by Health Canada has found that overexposure to boric acid has the potential to cause developmental and reproductive health effects. Since Canadians are already exposed to boric acid naturally through their diets and water, Health Canada is advising that exposure from other sources should be reduced as much as possible, especially for children and pregnant women. The concern is not with any one product, but rather multiple exposures from a variety of sources. With this in mind, the department has also announced that AUCTIONS
registrations for certain pesticides that contain boric acid, which are commonly used in homes, will have their registrations cancelled and be phased out of the marketplace. As well, new, more protective label directions are being introduced for other boric acid pesticides that continue to be registered in Canada (for example, enclosed bait stations and spot treatments using gel formulations). What you should do Canadians can minimize their exposure to boric acid from sources other than food and water. Here are some steps you can take: • Use recipes to make children’s arts and crafts at home (e.g. slimes) that do not contain boric acid. Do not use boric acid to make homemade pesticides. • Check the product label for terms such as “borax” and “boron-containing”. You can also contact the manufacturer to find out if their products contain boric acid. • Follow all directions on cleaning products. Store cleaning products out of sight and reach of children. • Dispose of chemicals properly based on the manufacturer’s directions. • Use health products that have a drug identification number (DIN), natural product number

(NPN) or homeopathic medicines number (DIN-HM). These numbers mean the product is regulated under the Food and Drugs Act and has been reviewed by Health Canada. If you have a pesticide with any of the following ingredients on the label, check Health Canada’s new pesticide label search mobile app for the most recent product information and label instructions: • boric acid • borax (disodium tetraborate pentahydrate) • borax (disodium tetraborate decahydrate) • disodium octaborate tetrahydrate • zinc borate Health Canada advises Canadians not to use pesticides that contain boric acid that have had their registrations cancelled in and around the home past their expiry date. You may also want to consider using alternative products readily available during the phase out period of these products. For information on the safe disposal of pesticides, please consult your provincial or territorial government.

ment Plan. Further actions to protect Canadians from overexposure to boric acid are currently being examined and will be communicated once the final risk assessment under the Chemicals Management Plan is complete. Over the next 24 months, Health Canada will be phasing out certain pesticide products that contain boric acid and requiring updates to labels for others. For those boric acid containing pesticides that continue to be registered for use in Canada, labels must include a statement that they can only be applied and used in areas that are inaccessible to children and pets. Other label changes are also being introduced to mitigate potential health risks to Canadians. Report health and safety concerns Report any adverse events related to consumer products or a pest control product to the manufacturer, who is required by law to report it to Health Canada. You may also report an incident directly to Health Canada by completing an incident report form online at hc-sc.gc.ca. If you experience an adverse reaction related to a non-prescription or natural health product, report it to Health Canada as well as the establishment where the product or service was purchased.
