Premier Kathleen Wynne makes stops in Kemptville, Lanark County BY PAULINA HREBACKA AND DESMOND DEVOY
The youth at Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC) received a prestigious visitor Wednesday, Aug. 16 when Premier Kathleen Wynne came through for a tour. Wynne was in eastern Ontario to attend the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual conference in downtown Ottawa, but decided to make a side trip. Her day started at The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior earlier that morning, and included stops in Almonte and Smiths Falls. KYC operations manager Pat Henderson gave her a full tour of the facilities and introduced her to some of the youth members. Wynne was also invited to participate in one of the arts and crafts activities with the kids. Wynne’s visit was approximately one hour long. The premier painted rocks with some of the members of the youth centre to place all over the community for the public to collect. They chose inspirational quotes
for the rocks. Wynne’s creation: a yellow rock with the phrase, “You are perfect” written on it under a rainbow. Wynne also signed the tree mural on the wall of the youth centre, which symbolizes KYC’s strength and the growth of the organization. Eliza Batchelor, one of the teenage members of the youth centre, showed Wynne the closet in the basement of the centre where prom dresses and suits are stored for high school students in the community to borrow if needed. Henderson also highlighted the centre’s kitchen to Wynne, where cooking and baking nights are hosted during the week for the youth members. Wynne was charmed by the youth centre’s mission and variety of services. As she toured the centre, she spoke to the importance of having a safe place like KYC in the community for children and youth to attend if they need a place to go after school or if their See PREMIER page K6

The Marvelous Wonderettes at Studio Theatre as part of a fundraising effort for YAK “It’s my party and I’ll ...” “Mr. Sandman”, “Lollipop, lollipop ...” “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.” What jumps into your head when you hear these lines? Do you sing out the next line or two of the lyrics? Does it take you back to high school and dresses with crinolines and prom night with boys in white sports coats and pink carnations? If it does, then do we have a show for you! And if you don’t remember those days, then come and find out what your parents and grandparents were singing back then. The Marvelous Wonderettes – an evening of song and dance and memories – follows Cindy Lou, Missy, Betty Jean and Suzy on the night of their high school prom in June 1958, as they entertain their graduating class with all those wonderful classics from the '50s. In Act Two they take us to their 10-year reunion, in the same high school gym, a little older, a little wiser but still singing those songs – this time from the '60s – that we all loved to sing along to (and still do). This wonderful musical, featuring four talented young women (you have seen them before in Little Women, Bingo Ladies, 9 to 5, The Drowsy Chaperone and more) is being produced by indie women two productions as a fundraiser for YAK (The Youth Action Kommittee of Perth and Lanark County). Following its co-production with Studio Theatre last summer of Bingo Ladies which raised $12,000 for Jillian O’Connor and her family, iwtp is pleased to be returning to Studio Theatre with this produc-

Explore Beckwith’s history with Sept. 9 heritage bus tour The Lanark County Genealogical Society and Beckwith Township are hosting a heritage bus tour and barbecue on Sept. 9. This is a great opportunity to learn of our township’s rich heritage while seeing the sites and enjoying this guided tour. Lots of places to see and things to learn along the way, including stops in Ashton, Prospect, Franktown, as well as a heritage house tour, a guest speaker and a barbecue. Ashton is the home of well-known Ashton Pub and Ashton Brewing Co. It’s haunted, so the story goes. Learn about Ashton General Store, Iceland’s First Lady, Ashton’s Curmudgeon, snow storm and that extra “83”, the effects of village during the California Gold Rush, cattle stock yards, settling families and more. Prospect once had a hotel. Where was it? Why did Oronhyatekha and Mohawk Indigenous people attend that very important meeting here? Learn all about the Kerfoot lands, the Prospect Methodist Church and the Doo in the Derry, the oneroom rural school, King’s Creek and the sawmill’s blade. Cheese, anyone? Franktown, the lilac capital of Ontario. The
township is hosting our first stop at St. James Anglican Church and the Centennial Hall. The church is Lanark County’s oldest existing church building, and apparently is the oldest structure in the Ottawa Valley. A guest speaker, local historian Cora Nolan, will speak to this village and area’s rich history. The day also includes a Heritage House Tour of the manse on the Seventh Line built in 1834. It was the home of Rev. John Smith, with four fireplaces, Victorian mantels, fanlight over the front door and its original beams. Places beyond include Tennyson and the lands originally owned by the Hon. Roderick Matheson, a prominent citizen of Perth and one of the dominion’s first senators. He built the stone house in Perth that currently is home to the Perth Museum. The Baptist Church — the only surviving Baptist Rural Church in Lanark County — the cheese factory and more will also be toured. Guest speaker for the bus tour is Perth historian John McKenty. He’s the author of four books and a collector of everything from old signs to tin toys. He will talk about the many folks, busi-
nesses and adventures characterized in his publications. A barbecue lunch in Beckwith Park will be catered by Waterfall Catering Carleton Place, along with entertainment and a chance to learn just a little bit more, with displays by Archives Lanark,
Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and others. Get your ticket ($35 each) at the Beckwith Township office (613-257-1539), through the Lanark County Genealogical Society website (lanarkgenealogy.com) or through our society

‘Romantic Comedy’ closes run at Perth’s Studio Theatre this weekend There's plenty of comedy and lighthearted romance on stage right now at the Studio Theatre in Perth, as Bernard Slade's hit Broadway show Romantic Comedy heads into its second weekend. Hugh McCulloch stars as self-absorbed Broadway playwright Jason Carmichael, who finds himself suddenly working with a new writing partner,
a somewhat mousy Vermont schoolteacher who happens to be a talented budding playwright. Comedy and complications ensue as the two ride a rollercoaster of success and romance – in perfect sync as writers, but amusingly out of whack in their love life. Annie West, Lucas Tennant, Jennifer Jasiak, Shiela Jasiak and Deb Ward also star. Don't
miss Romantic Comedy as it finishes its seven-show run at the Studio Theatre this Friday, Aug. 25, Saturday, Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 27 at 2 p.m. For complete details please visit studiotheatreperth.com. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

The expo will be held at the fully-accessible Almonte Community Centre, which offers plenty of parking and is located at 182 Bridge St. in Almonte. Visitors to the expo, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., can explore the possibilities from dozens of exhibitors, including specialty clothing and support products, seniors’ living residences, massage and physiotherapists, and government and non-profit groups such as The Older Adult Centres' Association of Ontario. Need to find a new home for you or your loved one? Talk to the representatives from seniors’ living residences including Orchard View by the Mississippi, Carleton Place Terrace, Water-
side Retirement Community, Riverview Seniors Residence, Revera Living, and Ravines. Need to find out more about assistive devices and products, or personal care at home? Capital Home Medical Equipment, Bayshore Home Health, SmartCare Clothing and Capital Audiology will be on hand along with many other registered exhibitors. You can even find out more about activity or volunteer opportunities, with participants from the community and across the region such as The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, the Good Food Tour, the Centre for Creative Living, The Hub, or the Outaouais Wood Carvers. Last year’s expo attracted a crowd of 600 visitors and 78 exhibitors. Plan to make a day of your visit to the expo. Lunch is available to purchase on site, and complimentary coffee, tea, water and snacks — sponsored by Carleton Place Terrace — are available throughout the day. Mills Community Support
staff and a small army of Seniors Expo volunteers will be on hand to guide you. And don’t forget to enter the free draw for one of the door prize. The North Lanark Seniors Expo is hosted by Mills Community Support as part of its commitment to creating agefriendly communities in North Lanark. Financial support from OACAO (The Older Adult Centres' Association of Ontario) and presenting sponsorship from Orchard View by the Mississippi help make the expo possible. Organizing committee members include these organizations plus Ravines Seniors’ Suites and Retirement Residence and the Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville. Event sponsors include Carleton Place Terrace, Waterside Retirement Community, Capital Home Medical Equipment, Bayshore Home Health and The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.

garnered a wide range of practical experience at the local level. She then joined the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2015 as a Lands and Water Technical Specialist and as acting district planner this year. “My work experiences have provided me with a diverse knowledge of the planning environment in eastern Ontario and the roles and functions of agencies and government,” Ms. Stewart said. “A significant role of a senior planner is to consult with stakeholders at provincial, regional and local levels of government and to provide recommendations and alternatives to the
decision makers. I understand the importance or working relationships, both internally and externally, and I’m looking forward to applying these skills for Lanark County.” Stewart has a comprehensive understanding of the principles of land-use planning at different levels of government, and has a degree in urban and regional planning with a minor in public administration. She is a full member of the Ontario Professional Planning Institute and the Canadian Institute of Planners and has been accredited as a Registered Professional Planner. “Ms. Stewart has a wealth
of experience in land use planning and in her career has shown leadership within the planning community with both public and private-sector partners,” said Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves. “We are excited to have her as part of Lanark County’s team.” The planner position is a new one for Lanark County, replacing the planning administrator position that was held by Mary Kirkham until she retired in June. Creating the position was a recommendation from a consultant’s report from last year that examined the eventual restructuring of the department. “On behalf of Lanark Coun-
ty Council, I would like to welcome Ms. Stewart to the county,” said Warden Bill Dobson (Montague Reeve). “We have a very active plan-
ning department and Ms. Stewart’s skills, experience and knowledge of local, regional and provincial stakeholders will be a great asset.”

COMMENTARY
The power of comedy What a time to lose Jerry Lewis. The funnyman died this past Sunday in Las Vegas at the age of 91. Whether you liked his comedy or not, he was a reminder that, as Leonard Nimoy said in The Simpsons in 1993: “The world needs laughter,” (Niomy said this as he stopped Krusty the Klown (seen by many fans as a stand-in for Lewis himself) from jumping off of a monorail. Lewis’ death reminds us that humour is important. It is often treated as the lowest form of entertainment. Everyone loves a good laugh, but tear jerkers or movies with a message win Oscars (Annie Hall in 1977, Shakespeare in Love, 1998, and Forrest Gump, 1994, are, for the most part, exceptions to the rule.) In Singing in the Rain (1952) Fred Astaire got the girl, the late Debbie Reynolds - not Astaire’s wise-cracking friend, Donald O’Connor. But comedies do have a role to play, often overlooked ones. While too much fun is frivolous, humour serves two important roles. Firstly, it is cathartic. Tragedy is cathartic, in its way, But humour provides hope. Charlie Chaplin’s Little Tramp may not move into a mansion, but he always
comes out on top. The bad guy can get his comeuppance - usually a pie in the face, but he gets it in the end. And that leads to stage two - being able to speak truth to power. Even going back to William Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear (1606) The Fool is the only one who can speak truth to the king, and get away with it. Humour also involves a level of intellect and wordplay that is harder to find in other verbal arts, maybe save, poetry. For example, just this past week, at the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival, organizers awarded their 10th annual “Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe,” award to comedian Ken Cheng. Audiences got the chance to vote on their favourite joke, and this was Cheng’s winning submission, about Britain’s newly redesigned one pound coin: “I’m not a fan of the new pound coin, but then again, I hate all change,” he was quoted in The Guardian. Alexei Sayle had another verbally smart joke: “I’ve given up asking rhetorical questions. What’s the point?” Thanks for the laughs Jerry. Can’t wait to see the reunion with Dean Martin in Heaven.
The house would be hopping when relatives came to visit Mother never seemed to be concerned about the number of people who would descend on our farm to spend the weekend. Goodness knows there wasn’t much sleeping room, with only four beds in the whole house to put down the seven of us in our own family! It wasn’t unusual for three or four carloads of relations to arrive at the same time, and Mother greeted them with open arms, and as suitcase after suitcase was unloaded, you didn’t have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to know they planned on staying overnight! This onslaught of visitors usually came when Mother’s brother, Uncle Lou, was arriving from New York. Father would say it was like someone had sent out a carrier pigeon with the

news to our relatives in Montreal, Ottawa, and sometimes even as far away as St. Catharines, that Uncle Lou was coming, and that was all it took. Aunt Vanetta, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Lil, Uncle Dick, and my cousin Richard would be the first to arrive from Ottawa, and always they brought dinner rolls, a store-bought cake from the bakery and bags of oranges and bananas. Aunt Vanetta, who I thought was the picture of the Queen, came wearing a fancy hat, and it never left her head, except when she sat down for a meal. As aunts, uncles and cousins arrived I would wonder where everyone was going to sleep. But that seemed to be the least of Mother’s worries. We younger
ones would be bedded down crossways in a bed. sometimes as many as five or six of us, and of course, Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny got Mother and Father’s bed, being the most senior of the visitors. Meals were served right from the stove, everyone loading his plate, and heading for a chair either inside, or out in the grape arbour. And the old Findlay Oval fair jumped all weekend, with the oven full of roasts or chick-
ens, and with potatoes and vegetables cooked in the preserving kettles instead of the pots we usually used. Once the supper meal was cleared away, the real festivities began. Mother, Grandfather and Mother’s brothers, sang at the top of their lungs, and to me it sounded just like a choir coming off the movie screen I once saw in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. And as the evening wore on, they were spurred on by the tumblers of homemade brew Father brought up from the cellar. Where they came from, I had no idea, but sometime during the early evening, my brother Everett would go outside with the older cousins, and put up two large tents. There were no cots

or beds inside, but feather covers and quilts would be used for mattresses, and sometime during the night, the overflow would wander out, find a spot to lie down, and settle in for a few hours sleep. The next day, the party would start all over again. To me, having car loads of relatives come for a weekend, was even better than a trip into the Renfrew fair! On Sunday, of course, Aunt Vanetta would insist on being driven into Renfrew for mass. And again, the music and singing would start. I would find a place to sit where I could watch my mother, her brothers and Grampa with their voices raised in song, and I would think we were the luckiest family in the entire world. Such talent, I would think.

I dreaded when it was time for them to pack up their cars and head out. They wouldn’t go empty-handed. The back seats in the cars would be filled with trussed-up chickens, meat from the smoke house, potatoes and vegetables from the garden, and Father would make sure that each car went out the lane with a bottle of his homemade brew. It took a few days to put the house back in order, and all that was left to remind us of their visit, were a couple bananas and an orange. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Lieutenant Colonel John By is recognized in his native land Considering the once incredible scope of the “British Empire” it is hardly surprising that English explorers, sailors, soldiers and engineers made major and lasting contributions in countries around the globe. Last week I wrote about the work of Lieutenant Colonel John By who is best known as the man who planned and supervised construction of the Rideau Canal in eastern Ontario. A graduate of London’s Royal Military Academy By was first posted to Canada in 1802 where his engineering skills assisted in the fortification of Quebec City. He also worked on improving the navigability of the St. Lawrence River. He returned to England during the Napoleonic Wars and served under the Duke of Wellington in Spain from 1811-1815. He had retired from the army following the war but in 1826, due to his previous engineering experience in Canada, it was the Duke of Wellington who recommended him to lead the Rideau Canal project. As I outlined last week his legacy is indelibly stamped on Canada and its capital city of Ottawa. In fact it was By who founded Ottawa as a place for his canal workforce to reside. Originally called ‘Bytown’ the community name was later changed to reflect the Ottawa River, the northern terminus of the Rideau Canal.
By is remembered in so many ways and the city he founded is still nicknamed Bytown. During his lifetime Lieutenant Colonel By was never officially commended for the canal project which is viewed to this day as a remarkable feat of engineering. The reason was cost overruns which created a political scandal in his native England. Despite the fact he was soon exonerated by a parliamentary committee the damage was done. By and his wife both petitioned the Duke and other military leaders to review his case and fully restore his reputation. Sadly, that never happened. They say time heals most wounds and such is the situation regarding John By! In the spring of 1997 a plaque was unveiled on the south bank of the River Thames in the London borough of Lambeth. John By was born in Lambeth, London on Aug. 7, 1779 the second of three sons of George By and his wife Mary (Bryan). My wife Kathleen and I were in the British capital on vacation at the time of the ceremony on Wednesday, May 28, 1997. We attended the event which was held on a sunny, warm spring afternoon. The plaque was officially unveiled by Brigadier Arthur “Valerian” Wellesley, the 8th Duke of Wellington, ancestor of Field Marshall Ar-

thur Wellesley, the first Duke who was, of course, Lieutenant Colonel By’s superior during the Peninsular War. Planned visit So how did we end up in London at the ceremony? Well, it wasn’t a coincidence! Kathy and I were already planning a visit to England that spring, 20 years ago. I came across a short story in the Ottawa Citizen which outlined some details of the planned ceremony to honour By in his hometown, an event organized by the Historical Society of Ottawa. We scheduled our holiday so we could be there for the plaque unveiling. Last week I took the albums, containing photos of the event, out of storage. Kathy and I enjoyed looking at them as I researched this column. Incidentally, the 8th Duke passed away Dec. 31, 2014 at the ripe old age of 99. He was succeeded by his son Arthur Charles Valerian Wellesley,

OBE who is the 9th Duke of Wellington. He is a member of Britain’s House of Lords and a former member of the European Parliament. For anyone going to London the plaque honouring John By is easy to find. It is opposite Westminster, the British Parliament Buildings and is accessible by crossing the River Thames via either Westminster Bridge or nearby Lambeth Bridge. It’s mounted on the retaining wall near St. Thomas’ Hospital on a section of the Thames Path known as “The Queen’s Walk” which runs between Lambeth Bridge and Tower Bridge. The top of the sign reads, “Lieutenant Colonel John By, Royal Engineers, Founder of Ottawa, Capital of Canada.” The body text states, “John By was born near this place and baptized in the church of St. Mary at Lambeth, Aug. 10, 1779. After a distinguished career in Canada and in the Peninsular War he was called out of retirement in 1826 and sent to Canada to build the Rideau Canal waterway. A defence project, the waterway would extend 200 kilometres from the Ottawa River to Lake Ontario. It penetrated uncharted lakes and rivers, virgin forest, rock and swamp attended by the horrors of introduced malaria. This outstanding engineering feat, which required the construc-
tion of 47 stone masonry locks and 23 dams was opened May 30, 1832. Now a heritage treasure, it remains in use as a recreational waterway. “John By retired to Frant, East Sussex, where he died Feb. 1, 1836. “Erected 1997 by the Historical Society of Ottawa.” Not exactly the commendation By had sought from his own government. But vindication none-the-less in my opinion. Kathy and I felt privileged to be there that day! In the summer of 2004, during another trip to England, our friends Martin and Wendy Ireton took us to Frant, East Sussex. We went there specifically to visit and photograph the grave of John By. For us that visit completed an historical journey that began in my hometown of Ottawa and ended in the pretty churchyard of St. Alban’s, eight kilometres (five miles) south of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The four of us later enjoyed lunch at the village pub. On the way out we noticed a plaque above the doorway which states that Frant was the home of Lieutenant Colonel John By. It is good to know that, posthumously at least, his reputation has been restored! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Health unit hosting upcoming rabies clinics Sept. 13 and 20 Together with partner veterinarians and municipalities, the Leeds, Grenville and District Health Unit is offering the community rabies vaccination clinics throughout the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties. The rabies vaccination clinics will be
held on Sept. 13 and 20. To find out locations where clinics will be held, call 1-800-660-5853 or visit the health unit website at www.healthunit.org. The goal of hosting these clinics is to help provide rabies vaccinations to as many cats and dogs as possible.
Your dog or cat must be vaccinated against rabies. It’s the law! It is important that pet cats or dogs remain upto-date with their rabies vaccination as they too could be at risk of getting rabies. By increasing the vaccination coverage in pets, we will help to mini-
mize the potential transmission of rabies to humans. Rabies is a deadly disease that can be prevented. Help prevent the spread of rabies by vaccinating your pet dog or cat. For more information about pre-
venting the spread of rabies, contact the Health Action Line at 1-800-6605853 or 613-345-5685 and ask for a public health inspector or visit www. healthunit.org/rabies or connect with LGLHealthUnit on Facebook and Twitter.

Doggie daycare opens in Westport For generations, people have visited Westport for the day — to shop, dine and relax in the heart of the Rideau Lakes. Now, their pets can do likewise. Christine Jennings from My Dog Spa has created a perfect place for our favourite non-humans to relax, while we enjoy some personal time in the village. “It’s a great new space where there’s a cool crate, comfy bed and fresh water waiting your best friend. We offer airconditioned comfort and a relaxed, loving atmosphere,” she said. So, while people shop or dine at a local business in town, their pets can just chill
in the daycare. “It’s a safe environment for your pet to be pampered; it’s also convenient for pet owners, too.” My Dog Spa is a full service pet grooming shop that features longtime professional groomer Johanna Cake — a personable, certified groomer and former vet assistant. This is the fourth year of successful business growth for the dog salon. Fully insured, My Dog Spa is located next to the Dollar Store in busy Westport. Daycare space is subject to availability; call the salon at 613-273-9800. Dogs enjoy getting pampered at My Dog Spa in Westport.

Don’t miss world première of 'Fort Hemlock' in Smiths Falls Hats off to everyone for a fabulous première! That was the buzz around the Station Theatre Friday night (Aug. 18) at the end of the first-ever performance of Fort Hemlock. “The sets were wonderful — transforming a street scene to a hotel was amazing to watch,” said Nancy Grundy from North Gower. “And the kids were really fun. Anybody who says there’s not much for kids to do in Smiths Falls should really come to the theatre and see what’s happening there. For two summers in a row now, kids have been the stars of the shows.” Fort Hemlock made its world première performance last Friday; it runs until the end of this weekend — Thursday, Aug. 24 to Sunday, Aug. 27. If you can see it, you really should. There’s warmth, character, humour, colour and an ensemble cast. Young Isabella Murphy (Hailey Besharah) saves the day back in the 1870s by demanding the ladies of the town remove their stockings, fill them with rocks, and go after the town-bullies who were disrupting plans for the turkey fair. But before heading to an evening performance, why not have a meal at Fort Hemlock Pub and Eatery, 32
Submitted photo
The Macdonald brothers from Macdonald’s Corners – Joseph, John and James (Taylor Gilligan, Nathan Matthews and Justin Lemoine) – plot with their boss Mr. Hobbs (Sam Saikaley) on how to disrupt the turkey fair during a scene from the Station Theatre’s Fort Hemlock. It runs until Aug. 27. Beckwith St. S. on Saturday night, Aug. 26. The eatery is offering a pre-show dinner for $15 which, combined with the ticket price of $20, is an evening of good food and good entertainment for $35. The combined ticket is available at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. E., Smiths Falls (cash only) and only 40 will be sold. Scott Prout, owner of the pub and eatery, asks that patrons arrive by 5:30 p.m. for dinner before
the show to give them time to order and eat “and not rush them through dinner.” For lighter fare before the play on Sunday, Aug. 27 at
11:30 a.m. — dessert and tea — stop by for seasonal goodies and a quick tour of Heritage House Museum’s picturesque gardens and period rooms. The cost for the tea/tour is $8 per person for Fort Hemlock audiencegoers with proof of purchase or their ticket for the matinee performances in hand. Fort Hemlock runs until Aug. 27. You can get tickets at Special Greetings, smithsfallstheatre.com (PayPal/Visa/MasterCard), by phone at 613-283-0300 (Visa/MasterCard), at the door, if available, a halfhour before performance (cash only). Find the theatre at 53 Victoria Ave., Smiths Falls. Summer hours for the Station Theatre are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre

Bryan Murray By Scott Campbell Bryan Murray is my uncle. I sat down to interview him at his summer cottage - found just outside of Ladysmith, Quebec - on August 1. Looking back, it is an honour to have done it. I thank Uncle Bryan, Aunt Geri, cousins Heide, Emma and Addie (the three were visiting at the time), for allowing me this snapshot of time. Bryan Murray has a lifetime of hockey memories making for many stories that could fill plenty of pages. The Washington Capitals hired the Shawville native as head coach in 1981, marking the start of a career in the NHL, which spans five teams. Since those early games, he’s seen the game of hockey change dramatically. “First of all, the toughness in the game is not what it was,” he said. “I think the rule changes with the red line gone and the tag-up rule, and things like that make the game appear faster. It is faster. I think the skill level of the kids today is better overall, and that goes along with being faster. The game is changed, and probably for the most part has changed for the better.”
SHAWVILLE KID
Murray’s story begins in the small Ottawa Valley town of Shawville, Quebec. Bryan is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray, a brother to Laird, Barrie, Darleen, Terry, Bill, Laurie, Lorraine, Karen and Kim. Clarence built the Murray home on King Street in Shawville in the late 1940s. He did most of the work on his own. Until Rhoda’s passing in 2013, it remained in the family.
The Murray clan didn’t live in the house right away. Clarence needed the rent money so everybody moved out to the farm outside of Shawville in Yarm. “I think we were all glad to get back at Shawville at some point,” said Murray. “But I think when we went through that life on the farm there were a lot of great memories of that too.” “I don’t know how mom and dad did it, honestly. We had the benefit of good guidance and parents that made sure we had enough. We never had too much, but we always had enough. They expected discipline and decent behaviour. I think it shows that we’ve all grown up to be pretty reasonable people. When you look back on it, so many great memories and so much fun, I think the closeness of most of us in the family is because of it.
“It wasn’t hard to fall in love with hockey. Like a lot of guys around here, I was pretty good at it. Everybody played hockey and that was our outlet,” said Murray. He even drew the attention of one of the NHL expansion teams, the Philadelphia Flyers. “I was playing senior hockey for Shawville in Smiths Falls one night. They watched me before they told me … I scored six goals in the game, which I did a few times in college. They called me the next day and offered me to go to their farm team. I said OK … $20,000. They said Gordie Howe makes $20,000, you can’t make $20,000. That’s what the salaries were.”
PONTIAC HOUSE
Before the call of the NHL came, Murray was a school teacher. When Pontiac Protestant High School first opened, in his eyes, it felt like 600 kids were walking the halls. He helped open Murray’s sporting goods store with brother, Bill. (Bill and his family ran the business for over 40 years.) They built a new building and brother, Barrie, moved in. Murray also bought Pontiac House in 1979. “I went to talk to the owner and the price was right.” Sister Darleen and her husband at the time and Murray’s wife Geri joined in running the business. They sold a pint of beer and a pack of cigarettes for 25 cents and a quart of beer for * 55 cents. It was a time when the tavern catered exclusively to men. Murray remembers Saturday nights and some Fridays in Shawville when all the farmers came into town and people could hardly find a parking spot on the street. “We didn’t rent rooms at the Pontiac House, but we had food, alcohol and bands on the weekend. The place was packed. There was a beautiful dining room and lounge. We had family come in and help us in the kitchen like Lorraine and mom. They helped us a lot. Friday night and Saturdays there would be 100 men in the tavern.” Pontiac House eventually succumbed to a fire and Hursty’s restaurant now resides in the location. Murray coached teams such as the Rockland Nationals and Pembroke Lumber Kings during this businessman period. Then he received an offer from the Western Hockey League Regina Pats to coach there. He told his wife, Geri, he wanted to go out west for one year to say he did it. Regina won the championship, paving the way for his career in the NHL. What if the Washington Capitals had never called?
“It was a full house, no question. Mom somehow, some ability, whether we were out playing hockey, or out playing baseball, or just coming home from school, she had a meal on the table.” For kids growing up in Shawville, a lot of them chose hockey and baseball to play. Murray played a lot of baseball – senior level to the Upper Ottawa Valley League. The home games actually took place on the fairgrounds, not at the R.A field like now. Teams from Quyon, Campbell’s Bay, Vinton, Fort Coulonge, Sheenboro, Otter Lake, Pembroke, Petawawa and Chalk River provided the competition. There was a lot of hockey too. Murray was skilled enough to play with the seniors when he was 14 or 15 years old. He played against Royce Richardson and others who were twice his age.
“I probably would have been a businessman in Shawville and maybe taught a little longer,” said Murray. “I would have been a Shawville guy, I think at that stage. I would have been involved in hockey but I don’t think I would have been running out of town a lot. That’s life, you never know.” “I thought I was a good coach, thought I could make part of a living from coaching.”

“I don’t get tired talking about home.” - Bryan Murray
LIFE IN THE NHL
how he treats people and is he a good guy, does he have a chance to be a committed hockey player? I think you evaluate all of that, but I think the bottom line is you try to draft good players and talent. You have to draft certain types and it takes a lot of work and good scouts. If you get three out of seven players to play pro hockey for you, you had a good year.”
General manager David Poile was hired during Murray’s second season, and he made some trades that stimulated fan interest.
Erik Karlsson, Zack Smith, Mark Borowiecki, Chris Wideman, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are a few - not all - of the notable draft picks made by Murray with the Senators.
Washington was a struggling team when Murray stepped in as head coach. The team had not made the playoffs in eight years. He stayed behind the bench with the Capitals for seven full seasons and earned the Jack Adams Trophy in 1984, as NHL coach of the year.
“It gave the players a sense that we were trying to get better,” said Murray. “We had some great runs like in Game 7 against the Islanders and Pat Lafontaine scored. There’s Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Dale Hunter scored for us. Fan interest was quite high at that time and it got better. It’s (now a) good hockey hotbed.” The Game 7 against the Islanders is known as the ‘Easter Epic’ in NHL history. The match took four overtime periods to decide and finished in the early hours of Easter Sunday. In 1988, the Capitals were down 3-1 in the playoff series and managed to fight back to force a Game 7 against Philadelphia. The contest went into overtime before Hunter tallied the winner for Washington. Murray next headed to the Detroit Red Wings. It wasn’t smooth sailing, as it was evident on his arrival that the team faced player issues. “I got the chance to go in and help fix that. We had some runs in Detroit. I was only there for four years, but we had a lot of kids, and we knew we were going (to) be really good.” Next up was the Florida Panthers, which managed a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in their third year. Murray helped craft the team for that unexpected run. He remained in Florida until 2000 and then moved on to Anaheim. “In Anaheim, we went from a nothing organization where nobody cared, to drafting (players) really well,” he said. “Tim (Murray) was a big part of that. We drafted Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. We went to the Stanley Cup Final (in 2003) when I hired (former Wing, now Leaf coach) Mike Babcock. We went to Game 7 against New Jersey and lost in New Jersey.” Murray arrived in Ottawa in 2004, but missed an entire season because of the lockout. Murray is still the only modern Senators coach who took the team to a Stanley Cup Final. That 2007 run, he considers a major highlight. The 2016-2017 season was also a memorable one for the Ottawa Senators and Murray. There was plenty of excitement and surprises that didn’t end until the Game 7 double overtime loss to the eventual repeat Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the eastern final. “Obviously, starting off we weren’t predicted to be a contending hockey team,” said Murray. “But I thought as the year went on we got better. There were a lot of tough games and then making the playoffs and the excitement of winning a couple (of) rounds. The opportunity with Game 7 to move on to the Stanley Cup final, has to be marked as a very good season.” As a general manager, Murray has kickstarted a lot of players’ careers by drafting them. “There have been some surprises and some real disappointments. I think you try to find out is the character of the person. What he behaves like in school, around his parents,

The old Shawville arena was owned by Ebert Richardson for a period of time. The building, which no longer exists, became known as Richardson’s Rink. Once in a while, a gang would sneak in through the windows for the chance to play indoor hockey. “It was a smaller ice surface,” said Murray. “What that meant was that you had to have skill, you had to be able to control the puck. When I coached - when Boston had the Boston Garden - players had to have the skill because they had to take short passes and quick plays, because people were all over you. You had no room to operate. I always thought the games were better because of that. “Richardson’s Rink was natural ice, small dressing rooms, and a furnace in the rooms to keep you warm and that was it. There was no Zamboni then; most of the time (it was flooded) by a hose. “But Shawville was a great place to grow up,” he said. “Mom cared so much about everything that went on in the family. Dad was in Ottawa working; he probably wasn’t involved early in our life as he could be because of work.” Murray always found time in his off-season to return to summer at the cottage with wife Geri and daughters Heide and Brittany. Son-in-law Don and granddaughters Emma and Addie have spent time there, along with many family and friends. Forty-six years ago, Murray bought the land for $1,800. “People thought I was crazy,” he said. “I’m glad I did it. There was no electricity and no water. We had this big pine tree. We put the drum up in the pine tree, had a motor with a hose. I would go down to start the motor. Geri would wait [until it] started to flood over and I would turn the motor off. That way we would flush toilets. Then we had coal oil lamps and that’s how we started. We were like that for four, five years and then we added power and we grew from that.” Murray’s NHL career took him away from the Shawville area for most the year. In the beginning, teams even travelled on commercial airlines. They flew along with everybody else. Now, it’s a world of difference with teams having their own planes and first class service. The biggest change of all is they can come and go, whenever they want. Yet, no matter how much hockey business there was to do and how far he roamed, Shawville and the Pontiac never seemed to be too far from Murray’s mind. “I don’t get tired talking about home.”

Jackson and Reynolds make The Hitman’s Bodyguard special MOVIE: The Hitman's Bodyguard STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, Elodie Yung and Gary Oldman DIRECTOR: Patrick Hughes RATING: 14A I love summer popcorn flicks. The kind of movie that requires minimum brain power and offers maximum enjoyment. When it's done well, with the right mix of action and comedy, you end up with a film that's fun to watch. When it's The Hitman's Bodyguard, you end up with a film you want to watch again and again. The vicious dictator Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) has been brought to face justice at The Hague. However, the prosecution is struggling to bring forth witnesses or any substantial evidence. The last card they have to play is Darius Kinkaid (Samuel L. Jackson). Kinkaid is arguably the world's most dangerous assassin. He's currently locked up in an Interpol prison, but he has the dirt on Dukhovich. Kinkaid agrees to testify, but only if his wife Sonia (Salma

reputation he takes the job. The rest is gunfights, explosions, chases scenes, and more quotable oneliners than any movie has a right to have. I'll admit these kinds of action-comedy flicks follow a formula. Audience members walk in with certain expectations. It has to be action packed. It has to make
you laugh. The heroes have to go at each other physically and verbally, but come together in the end to defeat the bad guy. The Hitman's Bodyguard hits all the highlights. The action is intense and in fact has a chase scene involving a speedboat, multiple cars and a motorcycle that's one of the best this year. This mov-

Hayek) is freed. Kinkaid is loaded in a secret transport filled with Interpol's best, and led by Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung). Unfortunately Interpol's best are no match for Dukhovich's goons. Kinkaid and Amelia are the only ones to survive the ambush. Knowing Interpol must be compromised, Amelia decides to contact the one person who can get Kinkaid to The Hague. She calls Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds). Michael is the best bodyguard in the business but has fallen on hard times since a Japanese arms dealer was killed on his watch. He has history with both Roussel and Kinkaid. He hates both of them, but with a chance to redeem his

ie has the formula down cold, but what sets it apart and makes it worth seeing are the two co-stars. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson are stunning. In fact, the whole cast is good. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
There are risks switching to synthetic oil on older engines “Hello Mr. Turner. I was in Brockville a few days ago and picked up a copy of the St. Lawrence News. I was delighted to see your very useful column on keeping cool in summer. The Stittsville News is also in the Metroland group but your column does not appear but it should. I guess the powers that be think people in Stittsville do not drive cars. Anyway I want to see your column in the Stittsville News and I am sure that when others read it they will wholeheartedly agree. I have a 1977 TR7 and the garage recently put in synthetic oil. Disaster ensued in a few months as the engine started to leak oil all over the place. I am looking at a rebuild but the garage should have known better. I did some research and cars built before 1999 should not use synthetic oil as it cleans out all the deposits that keep the engine sealed.” Regards, Jim The issue with switching to synthetic oil on older engines and the accompanying risk of oil leaks is not common knowledge outside the collector car group. Not all engines will leak after the switch, but it is a substantial risk. It's not simply related to the year of manufacture but rather the fact that synthetic oils are composed of considerably smaller molecules than traditional lubricants known in the industry as dino-oils. Synthetics
aren’t loaded with any special deposit cleaners or such. So on an older vehicle with higher mileage, switching to synthetic oil will highlight any existing weaknesses in seals and gaskets. “Hi Brian I found your email online and had a question for you that I think you may be able to answer. I was involved in an accident yesterday in which I hydroplaned my brand new 2017 truck. The truck is a total loss. I only paid $43 K for it, as I received a really good deal. The book value is around $60 K. Since they pay by book value (for the most part) will I get the book value price reimbursed? When purchasing this truck I had $10 K remaining on my trade in therefore the total price was $53 K. Just wondering how this will work seeing I still owe money on my other car as well.” Matthew Thanks for the question. I'm not really sure of your location (province) so it's hard to be accurate in providing advice. As a rule, insurance companies work on the premise of bringing you back to a 'pre-collision' condition in cases like this and won't necessarily reward your shopping skills with a profit. Yes they base their settlements on the current value of a vehicle, but they also look at what you paid in the first place. Unless you had a specific clause in your insurance agreement, they won't likely cover your negative

MarketPlates showcases collaboration between local farmers, producers BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
If you love food, save the date! The eighth annual MarketPlates event, hosted by the Kemptville Farmers’ Market, is fast approaching. The popular occasion offers marketgoers an opportunity to enjoy snack-sized dishes from several farmers’ market vendors, incorporating many different styles of cuisine from the best local farmers and producers. MarketPlates is a true celebration of food. Each vendor creates a unique dish made with fresh ingredients, and the various flavors that North Grenville has to offer come alive in the B&H parking lot located at 215 Sanders St., at the corner of Oxford Street and Rideau Street. The event will begin at noon, Aug. 27, and end at 4 p.m. This year will be the first time MarketPlates showcases the talent and products of the farmers’ market vendors working together to collaborate on the tastings. Jenny’s Jams & Jellies will be partnering with Barkley’s Orchard to create a special apple desert, Seaway Valley Soup will be working with Woolly Rideau on a delicious homemade soup, and Celebrate! Cakes will be using maple products from On the Bend Sugar Shack to create a variety of mini cupcakes. There will be over 10 different vendor collaborations, and over 15 tastings for just $15. Extra tasting tickets are available for $1.50 each. The tasting stations will be designated with balloons. A red balloon will represent a savoury tasting, while a yellow bal-

We’d also like to thank the youth from the Dundas Youth Centre for helping out with Fill-The-Bus again this year.” For more information about upcoming events, or to donate, visit the House of Lazarus at 2245 Simms Street in Mountain or call (613)989-3830.

Third annual Fill-The-Bus comes to Kemptville Friday, Aug. 25 Every can counts. The third annual Fill-The-Bus event, in support of the House of Lazarus (HOL), is coming to Kemptville on Friday, Aug. 25. 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. Usage of the buses was donated by Lannin Bus Line and Wubs Transit. “We’re hoping to fill every seat of both buses,” said Kim Merkley, manager of client services at HOL. Each month, the HOL Food Bank supports between 100 and 110 local families. The HOL also supports nearly 1,200 families and individuals each year through outreach programs, such as Food with Friends (gift cards to purchase food for the Kemptville Youth Centre and Dundas Youth Centre) and starting over kits for fire victims. Over 40 per cent of the clients served at the HOL Food Bank are children. The summer months are typically difficult for food banks, explained Merkley. “During the summer, we run low on a lot of items.” Items currently in low supply include canned vegetables and fruit, canned meat, pasta sauce, pork and beans, crackers and fruit cups. Each month, between 1,800 and 2,000 kilograms of food are given out by the HOL Food Bank. “We’d like to bring in about 1,000 kilograms of food this year through Fill-The-Bus,” noted
Vendors and farmers team up to serve unique dishes full of local flavour! Purchase your market plate and tour the food stations to taste each team’s bite-sized creation.

More Hot Days to Come Help prevent
Merrickville-Wolford has reacted to Smiths Falls’ decision to bar its residents access to programming at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. The decision was made by Smiths Falls council on Tuesday, Aug. 8., after recreation cost sharing negotiations resulted in agreements with Montague, Elizabethtown-Kitley, Rideau Lakes and Drummond/North Elmsley — but not Merrickville-Wolford. Montague has not officially signed on to the agreement yet, but they have paid their 2017 amount. Merrickville-Wolford’s anticipated contribution for 2017 was $15,727 – about four per cent share of the costs. In an email to the Record News, MerrickvilleWolford Mayor David Nash called the decision a “lose-lose scenario with children paying the hefty price.” The Merrickville-Wolford council approved a 100 per cent increase — from $100 to $200 — to subsidize any residents that were charged a user fee for the use of the Smiths Falls facility. However, the surcharge issued by the town in previous years for noncontributing members will be no more. This year, they decided to prohibit the noncontributing municipalities from using the programing at the arena. Merrickville-Wolford said their council made the decision not to enter into the cost sharing agreement based on a public survey, as well as a recommendation for their recreation advisory committee. At this time, their position has not changed. Smiths Falls’ chief administrative officer, Malcolm Morris, said that while there is a prohibition on the programming at the arena, all of Smiths Falls’ outdoor facilities are still available, such as the baseball diamonds, soccer pitches, splash pad and skateboard park. Smiths Falls residents are welcome to continue to use Merrickville-Wolford soccer fields and tennis resources, Nash said. Smiths Falls Council cracks down For those who don’t contribute to the municipal recreation cost-sharing agreement, the Town of Smiths Falls is cracking down. The town voted to prohibit residents from non-contributing municipalities that share a common border with the Town of Smiths Falls
from using the arena complex — this includes Merrickville-Wolford, whose council declined to join the agreement. The draft policy for non-resident use, supported by council, will require proof of residency for recreation program and residents of municipalities that share a common border with Smiths Falls but don’t have a current recreation cost-sharing agreement in place will be considered “non-resident” without access to the facility and be prohibited from participating in recreation programs, services and sporting leagues provided at the arena complex. Currently, Rideau Lakes, Drummond/North Elmsley and Elizabethtown-Kitley have signed the cost-sharing agreement. Montague has supported the agreement in principle and have committed to their financial contribution for 2017. Smiths Falls’ Chief Administrative Officer, Malcolm Morris, said he expects a full endorsement once the terms of the Joint Municipal Recreation Advisory Panel is finalized and other shared services discussions begin to move forward. Morris said a final decision would be needed before 2018. The agreement is for the five-year period between Jan. 1, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2021. Morris said the decision made by Merrickville-Wolford to not enter into the agreement has left the town with the responsibility to the contributing members and the town’s taxpayers to address non-contributing members. The options put before council at their special committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 8, were to re-institute the “hard-to-administer” user surcharge that was implemented in 2013, take no action or to prohibit non-contributing municipality that share a common border with Smiths Falls, like Merrickville-Wolford, from using the town’s arena complex including the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre and Youth Arena. Council voted in favour of the prohibition in a council meeting directly following committee on Aug. 8. Mayor Shawn Pankow acknowledged that this was not a decision anyone wants to make but in the spirit of fairness, it’s necessary. “Nobody wants to see anyone miss out on recreation,” he said, adding that he hopes Merrickville-Wolford will reconsider its position. Councillors echoed this sentiment around the room.

The Waterfront Trail construction has reached Curry Park in Kemptville. The first phase of the project began at the Barnes Street road allowance on Aug.10.
Trail construction reaches Curry Park BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
In 2007, a series of projects was planned as part of Kemptville’s 150th anniversary. The final sesquicentennial project, the construction of the Waterfront Trail along the south branch of the Rideau River, began on Aug. 10 and has reached Curry Park. The trail begins at the Barnes Street road allowance and travels south to the Kemptville Creek, east through Curry Park, then will cross Bridge Street and loop around the creek to
Clothier Street East. The Waterfront Trail will eventually connect Anniversary Park in the Ferguson Forest Centre to Riverside Park. Blair Harris Construction is building the Waterfront Trail and the anticipated project completion date is Tuesday, Oct. 31. Director of Parks, Recreation, and Culture Mark Guy says the trail will play a big part in the municipality’s active transportation plan. Any questions about the Waterfront Trail project can be directed to Guy at mguy@northgrenville.on.ca or 613-258-9569 ext. 107 during regular business hours.

PREMIER
From front page
home environment is not as accommodating. Before leaving, Wynne took the opportunity to pose for a photo on Merrickville Mayor Dave Nash’s motorcycle. Lanark County bound To Amanda Whiting, Premier Kathleen Wynne was just some lady with curly hair and glasses asking her about her summer reading list. Whiting, 12, was perusing board games and books in the children’s section of Mill Street Books in Almonte on Wednesday, Aug. 16, when Wynne came around the corner and began talking to her and her brother, Anthony Whiting, 9, about their summer reading. Wynne, who had just been perusing Linden MacIntyre’s latest work of fiction, The Last Café, as well as Kate T. Power’s Strong Is The New Pretty, was looking for material for her grandchildren. (Amanda was reading about child spies, while her brother was reading The Darwin Awards: Evolution in Action by Wendy Northcutt. They were also looking at buying a science board game. “Is this good for my grandbabies?” Wynne asked.) “You guys are clearly super readers,” said Wynne, before finding out that the brother-sister duo were visiting from British Columbia. “You
guys have a new premier in British Columbia,” Wynne said with a smile, referring to John Horgan’s New Democratic Party government, propped up by the B.C. Green Party. “He’s so new you probably haven’t seen much of him.” After Wynne had bid the two adieu, Whiting’s mother, Yasmin, told her whom she had just met. “I had no idea,” said Amanda, her eyes suddenly wide with surprise. She was told by her family that she was just like former British Columbia premier, Christy Clark – a female premier, from the same Liberal Party, though Wynne is still in power. For anyone walking along Mill Street late that morning, there may have been more than a few “Hey, isn’t that…?” looks as she passed by, making her way from the Almonte Old Town Hall, down Mill, before ending for lunch at The Barley Mow. Wynne’s first stop in Almonte was at Hummingbird Chocolate Maker in Almonte, where she got a tour from co-owner Erica Gilmour. Wynne tried her hand at adding ingredients to chocolate and at putting liquid chocolate into moulds, which overflowed after she added too much sweet stuff. She laughed it off, joking that she had just had her own Lucille Ball moment, referencing a famous episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy makes a hash of things down at the chocolate factory. “There’s an art to that,” Wynne
of Mississippi Mills’ council at the Sivarulrasa Gallery where, naturally, the conversation turned to the premier’s speech the night before. Wynne and her entourage cruised back across the road to the start of the Almonte Riverwalk, before ending at Kirkland Park for a group photo with council. “I’m glad that the grandmothers are in charge,” said Coun. Jane Torrance as Wynne headed off to lunch. “We are,” said Wynne.

After the chocolate shop, she was met by Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin at the Almonte Old Town Hall, where he took her on a tour of the historic building, including the auditorium. Later, Wynne and her entourage took a walking tour of downtown Almonte. Wynne took the obligatory dignitary photograph beside the statue of local hero Dr. James Naismith, creator of the game of bas-
ketball, at Centennial Square. Wynne ignored a man shouting “Boo! Boo!” as he drove by in a blue pick-up truck. Wynne then ducked inside Doree’s Habit to buy a pink scarf. She also visited General Fine Craft, where she admired local artwork. She called the store “almost overwhelming,” after stepping back outside, to head over to Mill Street Books across the road. Wynne met several other members
Food hub For a day that had started off with sweets, the afternoon itinerary included more wholesome, healthy fare, at the Two Rivers Food Hub at the Gallipeau Centre, the old Rideau Regional Centre, in Smiths Falls. “What a massive redevelopment,” Wynne exclaimed as she was met by local dignitaries on the back loading dock. “It’s really remarkable.” She was taken on a tour of the facility by Food Hub’s general manager Bruce Enloe, who told her about their more than $600,000 in sales and eight staff members, as well as their online marketplace which connects buyers with local food growers. Wynne asked Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow on zoning for the area, as there is a mix of residential and commercial interests on the same property. “A lot of it is in flux as we go,” said

Local Parkinson support group hosts monthly meetings for those affected BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
The local Parkinson support group offers a safe place for people living with Parkinson’s and their family members to share their experiences. “The support group is a great resource for the community to learn about Parkinson’s Disease and get all the information they need to live a better life with the disease,” said Parkinson Canada community development co-ordinator Margaux Wolfe.
“The support group also offers emotional support and camaraderie.” MARGAUX WOLFE
The support group in Kemptville meets on the third Monday of each month at 1:30 p.m. at Kemptville and District Home Support Inc. (Cheryl J. Brown Centre) at 215 Sanders St. The meetings are open to people living with Parkinson’s, as well as their caretakers, family members, friends, and other supporters. “The support group also offers emotional support and camaraderie,” said Wolfe. “As an organization, we are looking to reach out to more people living with Parkinson’s Disease to offer our services, which are free. It’s great to see how people in the community help each other out. We have 22 support groups in eastern Ontario and are hoping to create more in the com-
ing years. Each group is different because we really try to let the members guide the direction of which way the group would like to go.” One of the great initiatives that Parkinson Canada takes to raise awareness and funds to battle Parkinson’s is the popular fundraising event the SuperWalk. The SuperWalk is the organization’s largest national fundraiser with more than 70 communities participating this year. The event will take place during the weekend of Saturday, Sept. 9 and Sunday, Sept. 10. Parkinson Canada raised $2.5 million across Canada in 2016 through the SuperWalk, and they hope to exceed that figure this year. Since 1990, Parkinson Canada has raised more than $35 million for support services, research, advocacy, and education. “The event is a great, full day that gives people with Parkinson’s a sense of togetherness,” said Wolfe. “We have six walks taking place in eastern Ontario. They happen in Ottawa, Brockville, Embrun, Cornwall, Perth and Renfrew.” The support group in Kemptville usually hosts their own Support Group Walk to raise funds for the larger SuperWalk event, but due to the support group’s recent loss of a member in June, the walk has been cancelled as the members are still shaken. The next meeting date for the support group in Kemptville is Monday, Sept. 18. For more information on the Kemptville Parkinson Support Group, contact Shannon Harrison,

OPINION O
Never again
n Aug. 4, I became a married lady. But getting there was no cup of tea. I am normally a level-headed person, but trying to pull off a wedding is something I vow to never do again. I had heard of ‘bridezillas’ and I laughed off the mere idea of turning into one. I am a calm, cool woman after all. What could possible upset me so much that I would turn into a raging stress-ball right before my wedding? The weather. A week out from the ‘big day,’ the forecast was sunny and clear the day before, day of and day after! Perfect. No worries for me at all. I knew it would be so. After all, why would it rain on my parade? But then everything changed. Six days before our wedding, the forecast changed to rain and LOTS of it. We’re talking 80 per cent chance. Everyone kept saying, ‘It will change! Don’t worry! No big deal!” But it didn’t change. It kept fluctuating slightly in percentage, but the forecast never said, “Don’t worry! The weather will be fine on your wedding day!” It said, “Panic time, lady!” And I did. I turned into a nervous wreck, asking everyone to keep their fingers crossed for me, including complete strangers. I had no shame. All I wanted was sunshine on my wedding day – to not worry about everyone leaving early because it was pouring rain and we did not plan ahead by booking a proper shelter for such a terrible scenario. I checked the forecast dozens of times each day leading up to my wedding, sinking deeper and deeper into my stress-ball state. I began falling apart emotionally because all my careful planning was going to be satu-

e had so much fun at our farm wedding 10 years ago that we have repeated the outdoor celebration each year since. This year, the Farmer announced that he quits. He no longer wants to go to all that effort for one night of partying. “I’m getting too old for this. It’s been 10 years,” he declared. “But it’s your 10th anniversary,” said Paulina, who has always been the biggest fan of the farm party. It also falls on the same week as her birthday each year — and she does love to dance under the stars. After a bit of discussion, I decided to let the kids plan the party, one last time. And then, I tried really hard not to do any of the work myself. The Farmer was a little more successful in that area. The night before the party, a keg arrived. We have never had beer on draft at our party before and it was certainly taking things up a notch, with former bartenders as the party organizers. During setup of said beer keg, however, a tiny black washer ring fell and disappeared through the wooden floorboards of the porch. We couldn’t hook up the keg without it. The Farm-
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION rated with sky sadness. Then the ‘big day’ arrived. The sun was (blissfully) out and we proceeded to spend all day trying to get everything finalized (the cost of doing everything yourself to save money) and I ended up with a wicked sunburn and less than an hour to drive home, shower, make myself look semi-presentable and pick-up my kids from daycare (yikes). Then I looked at the forecast. Severe thunderstorms were on their way, and they were expected to start right before our ceremony. I started to cry. Not only would I look awful for my own wedding, but everyone would be struck by lightning and die (slight exaggeration). When I was done crying – like the baby of a bride I became – I pulled myself together and delved into a glass of sangria to calm my nerves. Then everything sped up. Suddenly, I was getting dressed and my friends were fixing my horrible hair and then it was time to walk down the aisle. And everything was perfect. The storm I had been stressing about all week passed us by. And a rainbow appeared. And all my worries melted away, as I became Mrs. Tenbult and spent the whole night with all the people I love most in the world. Life is still one big mystery to me, but I sure learned the lesson of ‘everything happens for a reason’ in the most magical way.

Wasn’t that a party? The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER
er went to the shed to find a suitable substitute, but failed. The owner of the “kegerator” said he would go home and get a new one. Everyone groaned. It was the end of a long day, we were all hot and tired and in need of a cold beer. Farmwife to the rescue. I limboed and squatted my way around the house under the porch and miraculously found the washer ring lying in a nest of vines. “That’s why he married young,” I joked, as my knees creaked. The tent had also arrived the night before the party, but perhaps just to make us nervous, the party organizers decided to leave it until the day of the party and go out with friends instead. The Farmer shook his head. The day of the party, I had to be away from home until about three in
the afternoon. I received a few texts during the time I was away, about the location of different items, so I knew the ‘kids’ were busy setting up the big event. On the drive home, I was pleasantly surprised to see road signs en route declaring “Fisher Farm Party This Way,” because I was imagining a last minute scramble to get things done. I arrived home to a complete party scene. Paper lanterns lined the driveway. A long dining tent was set up on the front lawn over tables set with linens and candles. Next to that was a circle of lawn chairs around a fire pit. Club music was coming from the barn, which had been set up like a stage with lighting, speakers and equipment. The kids had successfully organized their own farm party. The Farmer had successfully spent the better part of the afternoon watching Twelve O’Clock High in the living room. Every year, we get a few surprise guests — and this year was no exception. It was great to see an old friend who had moved away in Grade 6 and another whom I had been keeping in touch with on Facebook for several
years. Local musician George Buys played and sang as the sun set on an absolutely perfect evening, and the Farmer grilled up three dozen burgers and sausages. The dining room table groaned with salads and snacks, and our resident baker, Amy, brought cupcakes. I also had an ice cream cake for Paulina’s birthday, but had left it to thaw on the table in the basement. When I finally remembered it, I discovered the cats were having a party of their own, in the puddles of melted ice cream that were dripping off the table onto the cement floor. Paulina said the melted cake made a perfect lunch treat after party cleanup the next day.
I don’t think the Farmer and I will be hosting another farm party in honour of our wedding anniversary. It’s been 10 years and it’s time to pass the torch on to the next generation. Next year, we will be hosting a wedding reception for Paulina and Carey. The year after that, perhaps another wedding or engagement party or a baby shower. It may be the end of the annual farm party, but I’m sure our home will be the venue for many more family celebrations to come. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

PENNETT, Colleen -
God has many angels in heaven, and there’s one very special one. Her name is Colleen, she had a smile that made the sun look pale and a heart that was as big as the world. For her time with us, she found love and beauty in everything. Heaven is glad to have her, but we’ve lost the love and laughter that made our lives complete. We are old now, and that’s okay, because god-willing it means we will be with her again soon. Love you and miss you my Little Snooky, Love mummy and daddy.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Barsaeinrs
horoscopes
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, change is afoot, but there is no use trying to cling to the past. Look to the future and find a way to embrace the changes and challenges that lie ahead.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an exciting announcement makes it difficult to maintain your composure over the next few days, but give it your best shot. Look at it as a challenge that needs to be met.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, beneath that cool, calm and collected exterior beats the heart of someone who may be looking for adventure from time to time. Let others see your wild side this week.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are usually quick to catch on and can easily read between the lines of a situation. Put this skill to use in an important business meeting in the coming days.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can think of plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t take chances this week, but somehow you are compelled to take risks. Just be careful who you involve.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It is hard for you to respond when people do not play by the rules, Libra. Do not let their activities ruin your week. Continue to follow your own path.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Your shift with regard to motivation is quite evident this week, Cancer. Others notice this change in attitude and are willing to come on board to support you further.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, no matter how many times you run through the details of a specific situation, you still will come up with questions. Work them out until you feel confident.

Try to remain patient a little while longer. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Sticking to your safety zone has done you well, Capricorn. But sometimes you need to step outside of the boundaries for a new perspective. Don’t let apprehension hold you back. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a packed calendar feels stifling right now. It’s good to have a solid social network, but not if it comes at the expense of free time. See what you can clear from your schedule. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 There is more to living than adhering to career goals, Pisces. Find ways to schedule more activities that bring you happiness.

Rideau River hazard mapping open house to take place Sept. 27 Members of the public are invited to an open house on Wednesday, Sept. 27, to review hazard maps. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has completed two hazard mapping studies for the Rideau River: Hogs Back to Kars, and Kars to Burritts Rapids. These studies update existing mapping in some areas and new mapping in others. Both Rideau River studies look at identifying two main types of hazards along these stretches of the watercourse: flooding and slope stability.
The mapping will be used by the City of Ottawa and the Municipality of North Grenville when updating their Official Plan and Zoning Schedules and in the review of development applications under the Planning Act. RVCA will also use the mapping to guide the review of development applications submitted under the RVCA’s Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation. The goal of this mapping is to help ensure that sound planning deci-
sions are made — keeping people and property safe. Accurate engineered hazard mapping is the foundation of effective floodplain and resource management. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the open house and/or provide comments on the mapping. Conservation authority staff welcome historical records of past flood events, news clippings, photographs and even anecdotal stories to help confirm the reasonableness of calculations and resulting hazard mapping.
For those unable to attend the open house, mapping can also be seen online at www.rvca.ca and comments sent to Ferdous Ahmed, RVCA senior water resources engineer at ferdous.ahmed@rvca.ca. The Sept. 27 open house takes place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Rideau Valley Conservation Centre, 3889 Rideau Valley Dr., Manotick.

Pankow, before adding that “it is a tremendous opportunity.” The first facility to re-open after the Rideau Regional Centre closed down, was the old laundry facility, which brought back many of the same employees, and now handles cleaning contracts for area hospitals. Wynne was also shown some of the tools that are shared amongst the different food service companies that rent space in the food hub, like a produce washing machine. “It’s like having one combine,” for several interests, said Wynne. “We are not for profit,” said Enloe. “(But) not for loss.” “You’re for sustainability,” replied Wynne. Enloe agreed that it is his hope that the project hits “sustainability,” and that it would need to hit profits in the $1-million-plus range. Enloe said that a lot of the startup costs for the food hub were “bypassed” because much of the equipment needed, like the industrial kitchen – was already in place. Wynne visited with staff of “All About the Soup” who were preparing vegetables for another batch. She inquired about food inspection and was told that because a lot of their produce is vegetarian, and is often frozen, food inspection is usually not an issue. Looking around the food hub, Wynne said that “the logistics of this are crazy,” adding that she was “totally impressed.” Wynne was given a gift of a scalemodel Rideau Canal lock crank, made by Kilmarnock Enterprises, that Pankow joked would be a good stress reliever for her to crank on busy days at Queen’s Park. Meet the press During a press briefing around one of the food hub’s steel food preparation tables, Wynne said she was “blown away” by what she had seen at the Gallipeau Centre. She commended the “community collaboration” on the project, adding that “it’s obviously good for the economy” as well as a “great use of space.”

A necessity in jam making, but where does pectin come from? BY DON MERCER
Each year, as various fruits and berries come into season, many of us enthusiastically embrace what is an annual event in our homes. While jam making may be a rather tedious process, there is nothing quite like homemade preserves on warm toast to make you appreciate the rewards of your labours. The ingredients necessary for making most jams are quite simple. You need the fruit itself, some lemon juice or vinegar to acidify the mixture, sugar, and of course, pectin. Sugar is often considered as being present only for its sweetness, but its role is really not all that simple. The sugar also binds the water that is present in the fruit and makes it unavailable for the growth of microorganisms that may be present. Of course, most of these pesky microbes will be killed in the heating step, and the acidification helps create an environment that is unsuitable for their growth. However, we also need to worry about any microorganisms that may get into the jam jar after it is opened and in use. Pectin consists of many small molecular groups linked together to form a somewhat complicated long-
chained polysaccharide molecule. Pectins are water soluble and are a healthy fibre source in your diet. They are added to jams and jellies to help form the required gel structure. Without the correct amount of pectin present, the jams would tend to be runny or experience what is referred to as “syneresis,” where the water oozes out of the gel structure. For convenience, most jam makers purchase their pectin as a ready-to-use liquid or powder preparation. There are even pectin formulations available for anyone who wants to cut down on sugar levels. These basically compensate for the sugar reduction by increasing the strength of the pectin. Being the curious type, I often wonder where we get the ingredients used in our foods — and pectin was no exception. One of the first sources of pectin was apples. Having worked for General Foods in Cobourg, Ont., for 14 years, I was familiar with the fact that the company site was originally home to the Douglas Pectin Plant. It was set up around 1919 by Robert Douglas. Douglas coined the familiar trade name Certo, indicating its use would make certain that jams would gel properly. Cobourg was a logical place for a pectin plant due

Oranges, left, have a layer of white pith called the “albedo”, centre, from which pectin, right, can be extracted. to the abundance of apple orchards along that particular stretch of the north shore of Lake Ontario. Vinegar was another product from the apple processing activities. Apples contain about one to 1.5 per cent pectin by weight. After the juice is extracted, the pressed solids that remain are called “pomace.” It is from this apple pomace that pectin can be extracted relatively easily. Some of you may actually use apples as a source of pectin in your recipes instead of relying on com-
mercial pectin products. Over the years, the source of pectin shifted from apples to citrus fruits such as oranges, which may contain three per cent or more pectin on a weight basis. The pectin is found mainly in the “albedo” or “pith” of the orange. This is the white layer between the peel of the orange and its fleshy portion. There are procedures available on the Internet for extracting pectin from the pith of oranges. They involve separating the white pith from the
peel, soaking it in lemon juice, and boiling the material in water. This duplicates the acid extraction step used in industrial processes. By squeezing the mixture through a fine mesh cloth, the pectin-containing liquid can be obtained. Further processing can be done to concentrate the pectin or prepare a powdered form of it. On a dull, dreary afternoon a few years ago, I took several thickskinned oranges and did a pectin extraction in a pot on the stove. The results were far from mindboggling and the yields of pectin were very low. However, the exercise was an academic success — which is the way I rationalize a lot of things I do. A few simple tests confirmed that pectin was indeed present. Considering the time and effort, plus the energy expenditures and the uncertainty of the final extracted material, we should be very grateful for being able to simply go to the grocery store and buy the convenient, ready-to-use pectin.

Vancouver Canucks’ player Ben Hutton scores big for Alzheimer society TIM RUHNKE
truhnke@metroland.com
Ben Hutton has spent part of his summer holiday giving back to his community. The Vancouver Canucks defenceman and Prescott-area native attended a meet-and-greet event at the Riverside GM dealership on Tuesday, Aug. 15. Proceeds from the Brockville event went to the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville office of the Alzheimer society. Hutton, who is entering his third season with Vancouver, interacted with the public during the three-hour session. Youngsters could take shots on net or face a few from #27; Hutton also signed autographs and chatted with visitors. There was also a car wash and barbecue. Hutton, 24, noted that he has a grandparent and aunt diagnosed with the disease. "It's very close to my heart," he said. The pro hockey player made a similar appearance at a Riverside dealership in Cornwall on Aug. 10. Proceeds went to the Alzheimer society of Cornwall and district. The NHLer who played most of his junior career with the Kemptville 73’s of the Central Canada Jr. A Hockey League,

Vancouver Canucks defenceman and Prescott-area native Ben Hutton appears at an Alzaheimer society fundraising meet and greet at the Riverside GM dealership in Brockville on Tuesday, Aug. 15. Hutton played three seasons with the Kemptville 73’s of the Central Canada Jr. A Hockey League. also hosted the first Ben Hutton Celebrity Shootout Golf Tournament at eQuinelle north of Kemptville in July; that event raised $15,000 for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville organization. Bobbi-Jo White, fund development
co-ordinator with the local Alzheimer office, said it's great to have the support of someone like Hutton, who is younger but has a personal connection to the disease. "We need a lot more people like him," she remarked. The society appreciates Hutton's ef-
fort to raise awareness of and money for the services it provides, according to White. Estimates indicate there are about 3,900 people in the tri-counties area who are living with Alzheimer’s disease or some form of dementia. Upwards of one-half of those indi-

viduals are served by programs offered by the society. As for the Canucks' prospects for 2017-2018, Hutton believes Vancouver will have a stronger team this coming season. The new faces include a new head coach, Travis Green. Hutton plans on returning to the west coast in a couple of weeks. Vancouver opens its regular season at home against Edmonton on Oct. 7. "They're great fans out there," commented Hutton, who added they go bananas when the team wins. He added the city wants redemption after the Canucks were one win away from capturing the 2011 Stanley Cup final but ended up losing the series to Boston in seven games. Hutton was inducted into the South Grenville District High School Wall of Fame in 2016. He is part of the Prescott school's Class of 2011. Upcoming fundraisers for the Alzheimer society include the annual Coffee Break promotion that now runs from September to December and the inaugural Women Only Red Dress gala at the Brockville Country Club on Saturday, Nov. 4.
