Alleged funding backlash leads to cancelling of Greasy Pig Contest Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Back to the sale barn piggys! The Greasy Pig Contest, which involves children with greased hands attempting to capture pigs and hold them in place for a short period of time, has been a staple of the South Mountain Fair for more than 15 years. This year, however, the
pigs were sent back to the sale barn following alleged threats from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport pertaining to essential funding for the fair. “I got a call from the ministry of tourism,” said Paul Allan, president of the Mountain Township Agricultural Society (MTAS), which puts on the fair.

The 124th edition of the South Mountain Fair was a hit for all age groups again this year. From the demolition derby and truck pulls, to the petting zoo and rides, there was something for everyone! The fair ran from Aug. 18 to 21. Sophia Wood (centre) takes a picture with Sleeping Beauty (left) and Cinderella, from Glass Slipper Princess Parties. For more photos, see page K15.

Area Greens ‘relieved’ May will stay on as federal party leader of the Green Party of Ontario’s Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding association, a retired social worker and part-time farmer who lives in Cloyne, Ont. with his wife, Patricia Nobbs, said he was “relieved,” when he heard that May would be staying on. “She’s the best we have available,” he said, during a telephone interview from his home on Tuesday, Aug. 23. “She’s on the right side of this issue, as far as I’m concerned.” He noted that the Green Party is “not leader-driven…dissenting opinions are accepted.” Nobbs said that, for her, “it was a bit of a surprise that that came up (May questioning continuing on as leader),” she said. “She certainly put her time in over the years.” She echoed her husband’s sentiments that May is one of the party’s greatest assets. “We don’t have anyone in the File photo party with her (ability to) appeal (to voters) outside of the party,”

Green Party activists say they are “relieved” that Elizabeth May has decided to stay on as their federal party leader and sole MP. The Saanich-Gulf Islands MP made the announcement in Ottawa this past Monday, Aug. 22, after considering her position over the weekend. She disagrees with a position adopted by party members at a convention held recently in which the party endorsed a BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions) policy regarding Israel. The movement’s website describes the initiative as working “to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law,” by encouraging people and countries to boycott Israeli products, divest their investments from the country, and to apply sanctions. The movement says it is similar to the boycotts applied against Apartheid-era South Africa in the 1970s and 80s. Lauder Smith, the former chair

she said. “She did very well in the debates.” While the riding is fairly solidly conservative federally, she said that some conservative friends have told her that “if she was running for our (Conservative) party, we’d be voting for her,” which she pointed to as “a good sign of her popularity.” (Interestingly, May did work for a Progressive Conservative MP on Parliament Hill in the 1980s.) Nobbs pointed out that she and her husband, both former maple syrup farmers, are more involved in the Ontario wing of the party, and, as such, “we don’t attend their federal annual general meetings.” As for the BDS movement, “I don’t have a stance on it. I haven’t paid much attention to it. I trust May’s decision on it. I guess I’m willing to accept her decision on that. I would support her decision.”

United Way, 3M Canada look to help youth start new school year with confidence Once again, our local 3M Canada Perth plants are stepping up to run a backpack drive to collect school supplies and donations for local youth in Lanark County. With the new school year fast approaching, there are still kids that will be returning without the tools they need to succeed. Unfortunately, not all families are able to afford this traditional purchase. “Last year, 3M and the community were able to fill 30 backpacks for kids in our community,� says Kate Hallas, fund development officer for United Way Lanark County. “We are so fortunate to have their support again this year for this great initiative that will give our youth the confidence to thrive at school. 3M has been both a long-time and one of our largest supporters through corporate and employee donations – they exemplify true community spirit.� 3M employees will be donating supplies and cash to the drive, and invites the public to participate as well. “At 3M, volunteering is an important part of our culture.

Their program provides supplies for children in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12, with a focus on the younger age groups. “Connections provides over 300 back to school kits annually, but we know there are more in need.

The Table’s FoodFit program stretches to Maberly, Lanark and Smiths Falls Thanks to external funding from Community Food Centres Canada and the RBC Community Foundation, The Table Community Food Centre is pleased to be offering its FoodFit program to people living in communities around Lanark County. “This funding gives us an opportunity to reach out to residents who would not otherwise be able to access our cooking and nutrition programs here in Perth,” says Rosie Kerr, community kitchen co-ordinator. Kerr explains that, “we want to offer opportunities to people who are interested in learning more about food, cooking and healthy eating.” FoodFit is a 12-week program that The Table has run several times at our location on Gore St. E in Perth, as well as sessions last winter at PDCI and in Sharbot Lake. “After running Foodfit in Sharbot Lake, we realized there is a demand in the rural communities for our programs from people who face a vari-
ety of barriers getting to our Perth location,” adds Kerr. Developed by Community Food Centres Canada with the guidance of health professionals, FoodFit successfully helps people make lasting, positive improvements to their health through moderate exercise and healthy eating. Kerr, who will be running the program in Maberly, says that “many past participants have told us that they like this program because it is fun, straight forward and works.” The program combines hands-on cooking sessions, take-home recipes, shared meals and snacks, easy-to-understand nutrition information, group exercise, self-directed goal-setting and useful tools to navigate the increasingly complex food choices at the local supermarket. We are excited to partner with the North Lanark Community Health Centre, Tay Valley Township and Rideau Community Health Services

HOUSING
From page 3
Carleton Place, it may actually be better suited to Perth.” She did stress that the housing to women only living in Lanark County. The building would also include a group meeting space to encourage participation in all services offered on site. Big need So why the need for second stage housing in Lanark County? Lee said this conversation isn’t a new one and has been batted around for at least a decade. The wide variety of services offered by LCIH also continue to be accessed by a larger number of women. “We’ve been around for 38 years, we are your only dedicated anti-violence agency and in 2014, we had 3,168 service users…that are from Lanark County. All of our programs and services are free,” she said, noting that would change if women and their families moved on to second stage housing. Lee stressed that 42 per cent of Canadian women who have fled abusive situations only return to the abuser due to lack of housing. “So you stay in a shelter for a period of time, settle a little bit and run out of options,” she commented, adding that the LCIH shelter is currently at 93 per cent occupancy “because we can’t remove another family and move another one in – it’s about space sharing.”
Second stage housing would also remove the potential of dangerous situations in the community and would give families more freedom. “It benefits the whole community,” Lee said of second stage housing. “It lessens the pressure on women to accept sub-standard housing, it lessens the pressure a little bit on the housing list and it supports healing as women reintegrate into the community. It increases safety for women and kids which always translates into a safer community.” LCIH hasn’t “won the lottery,” Lee joked, but in a way, a guardian angel has stepped in to fulfill the organization’s wish list. At last year’s Feed the Fight to End Violence Against Women fundraiser in Carleton Place, Gavin Marshall, CEO of Magenta Corporation, purchased 14 tickets and approached Lee on how he could be more active in helping LCIH. Conversations blossomed from there, she said. “We had a meeting and he said, ‘So, if you had a dream and you had an envelope, what would it be?’…I said second
stage housing. I talked to him about it and in no way, shape or form did I think at the end he was going to say, let’s purse that, but at the end of the meeting, he said ‘Let’s do that.’” “So thank heavens for Feed the Fight and community events and community members wanting to come forward and engage because as a result, we’re having a very different discussion than we were having a year ago about second stage housing,” Lee added. While Marshall is providing the building, Lee said LCIH will still have to apply for grant funding in order to appropriately staff the housing unit and offer enhanced services. She first presented the second stage housing business plan to the LCIH board this past May and they are looking at an opening target of 20172018. “If it were up to Mr. Marshall we’d already have a place and be moving forward, but we are looking at other options in terms of funding,” she stated. “We’re going to need ongoing funding so that they can subsidize rents so they

can be geared to income and I think the county has a role there. I think you already have those very difficult discussions during budget time…and my hope is that at some point we will be having that discussion.” County councillors were pleased with the positive news. “Second stage housing, whether it’s six units or 16 would be welcome,” stated Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) and chair of the community services committee. Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) won-
dered if the transition would be seamless for women moving from the first stage (emergency shelter) to second stage housing. “We have an ideal length of stay when women and children come into our shelter and I will tell you we do have an extension and we have currently two families that are on their fourth extension. We don’t just kick people out to the curb. Typically, that’s not the way we try and do something,” Lee answered. “Sometimes people will have what they call a moving on plan and they de-
cide it’s safe enough for them, short-term, to stay with a sister’s friend because they have a housing offer a few months away. That’s what happens.” “…The difference between Ottawa and us is that our units will be our units,” she continued. “So we will place these folks and they will be coming from our communities. In Ottawa, they’re coming from all over the place.” Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve), used to work at LCIH and said second stage housing is “a hugely important thing.”

Tourism association receives funding, begins production of tourism marketing videos, pictures Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) is pleased to announce the receipt of funding from Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO), as part of OHTO’s Tourism Development Partnership Program (TDPP). The funding will allow LCTA to embark on a project to create marketing content highlighting the many assets in Lanark County, while promoting OHTO’s Come Wander tourism brand. “The TDPP program is designed to encourage and support collaborative tourism development initiatives that reflect the Come Wander regional brand platform, that align with strategic objectives and that can demonstrate long-term benefits to the region,” stated Stephanie Hessel, tourism development & industry relations co-ordinator for OHTO. “We are excited to support this LCTA initiative and looking forward to seeing its potential to support the Come Wander brand.” Over the next several months, LCTA will be gathering content for the creation of an image database, co-ordinating the production of two
30-second tourism videos highlighting tourism assets in Lanark County, as well as the creation of copyrighting content. The image and video database will be accessible by tourism operators and stakeholders in Lanark County, at no cost. “Our goal is to assist our membership to promote themselves and their business as a tourism destination in Lanark County,” LCTA president Bob Mingie said. “Having the tools available to market your business, and the region, is a good way for LCTA to support our businesses.” This summer, LCTA will be reaching out to community members and
organizations for contributions of photographs to be included in the image database, as well as contracting with a local photographer for more targeted shots. A videographer will be working in the area over a two-day period in August. The second phase of the project will involve the marketing component of the content and distribution through online and digital media. This phase of the project is expected to begin in 2017.
In June 2016, LCTA received funding to support the project from Lanark County council, in the amount of $3,500, which LCTA is matching for an additional $3,500, bringing total available funds for the project up to $7,000. OHTO will provide matching funding for LCTA’s tourism projects in the amount of 50 per cent of project costs. Lanark County Tourism Association is a membership-based tourism organization committee to supporting tourism operators in Lanark County and providing a collective voice for stakeholder feedback at the local, regional and provincial levels. LCTA’s mission is to support tourism operators and the growth of the tourism industry in Lanark County. LCTA provides networking and professional development information and opportunities for members and takes on larger tourism projects in response to the needs expressed by the membership.
In 2015, LCTA partnered with OHTO for the completion, printing and distribution of the Lanark County Cycling Map, a publication which is in high demand throughout the region and in Ottawa, and is also available online at the LCTA website, the Lanark County Tourism website and various other relevant cycling sites. Each year, LCTA sponsors a booth at the Ottawa Tourism and Travel Show to distribute information about visiting Lanark County and marketing materials for the varying municipalities and tourism operators. The LCTA currently has more than 70 members, including five municipalities, and is actively recruiting new members. For more information about the LCTA, please visit www.lcta.ca or for more about OHTO and funding opportunities, go to www.ohto.ca. Submitted by the Lanark County Tourism Association

Share the scam stories
I
t appears that there is yet another variation of a telephone scam that has been making the rounds recently, which serves as a reminder for the public to be cautious and to share their experiences in an effort to prevent others from being victimized. Leeds County OPP reported last week that it had fielded a complaint from someone in the Elgin area. She had received a call from a male claiming to be “Sheriff Shawn Miller of the Toronto Police.” He reportedly told the woman that she was being charged with fraud and provided her with a toll-free call back number that is known to be fraudulent. Many local residents have received calls from alleged police officers claiming that back taxes are owed and that an arrest could be imminent unless the potential victim goes out and buys a significant number of iTunes or other pre-paid gift or credit cards and calls back with their numbers. Leeds OPP notes that victims are
sometimes directed to a fake Canada Revenue Agency site, where they are asked to confirm their identity by entering personal information. Calls or emails of this nature are scams to which the public is being urged not to respond. Police offer a few warning signs: the scammer tries to generate a sense of fear by playing on the victim’s emotions and making the request seem urgent – which might cause the victim to not take time to verify the story being pitched. A request for a money transfer is also an indication that it is likely a scam. Don’t be reluctant to consult a family member, trusted friend or even the police before providing personal or financial information or a payment. There is also relevant information in The Little Black Book of Scams that can be viewed at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca. By sharing the telephone and electronic scam stories with those who might be susceptible to fraud, you might help someone avoid becoming the next victim.
Flour and sugar bags took on many uses from rags to blouses Mother was ready to tackle another batch of flour and sugar bags. If she was lucky, she got a sugar bag from Mr. Briscoe at the General Store in Northcote after he finished filling paper bags to put on the shelf in different pound sizes. These bags were smaller than the ones she got at the gristmill, but the printed dye, for some reason, was much harder to get rid of. Depending on what she made out of the flour bags, getting all the dye out wasn’t all that important. It wasn’t unusual to crawl into sheets, made from four opened flour bags, and to still have Red Roses Flour printed for all to see. When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the

gate at the back yard. You could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away. Once the bags had been washed at least three times, their seams opened, and all the strings and threads gotten rid of, came the job of trying to make the bags suitable for tea towels, underpants for my sister and me, and of course, pinny aprons, and more often than not, blouses. But getting the dye out was a major job for Mother. The bags would soak overnight in the copper washtub, and if Mother was lucky, the dyes would have greatly faded from the jar of javel water. Using the tongs she used when getting the whites out of boiling water and into the washtub, she would pull each bag out and put it in the big

Letter to the Editor granite dishpan. This was when she would know if the whole exercise was a complete bust. Which more often than not, it was. For the very best of the bags, the smaller sugar bags, for instance, they would be further treated to a wash of water and lemon juice, and then spread out on the grass to let the sun finish the job. Sadly, that didn’t always work either, and there it would be, the printing, as large as life, maybe a little bit faded, but

Many readers may not know that the government is conducting a public review of Canada Post right now.

Clearly, this is also a time for thinking outside of the box – otherwise we'll be getting more of the same, i.e. higher prices and more service cuts. As Canada Post is Cana-

dress too fancy, or, as in many cases, what she took out of the box was fit only for the rag bag. After the kitchen was redded up, Audrey was sent out to bring in the few flour bags, and the one sugar bag which had been treated to the beating sun for the whole afternoon. Sadly, the printing was as bold as ever. Mother sighed, got out the scissors, and got down to the job of figuring out what could be made. Some would become “not for company” tea towels. The few, which had faded the most, would do for pillowslips and sheets. She held up the one sugar bag, limp from so many washings and javel treatments, and decided it would have to do for a few

dishcloths. Then she called me over to the sewing machine, held up one of the flour bags, measured my body from the waist to my knees, and began cutting it up. There was no such thing as having a pattern to go by. I knew I was in for another pair of flour bag bloomers. Thankfully, the bloomers I would wear to the Northcote School, had seen many, many washings, and the ones Mother was sewing that night would be ‘play bloomers’ until they had been what she called “well broken in.” Which meant, of course, the printing would be all but gone. Bloomers made out of flour or sugar bags would not be the most comfortable of underwear until they had been washed
many times. For the first few times of wearing them, they felt like pieces of cardboard against your body, and the tight elastic in the legs didn’t help to soften them either. Mother had the new bloomers finished before I went to bed. I would wear them often during the summer, breaking them in, and grateful that by the time I went back to the Northcote School, the bright red and blue words, “PRIDE OF THE VALLEY” across the seat would be all but faded away.

RVCA maintains severe drought condition status continued despite rain Despite the recent rainfall the Rideau Valley remains in a severe drought status. The 90-day accumulation of rainfall since Aug. 13 recorded at Environment Canada climate stations in and around the Rideau River watershed has increased to an average of 82 per cent of the historical average. The 30-day accumulation is about 99 per cent. This has caused flows at the monitoring stations on the Jock and Rideau Rivers to exceed the historical average after each rain event. However, these flows have not been sustained because, while flows have increased in the upper part of the
watershed, there has only been enough to cause minor flows that have reconnected some of the pools that were left as the waters declined. The reservoir lake levels increased but only a matter of centimetres and that will be short-lived as the overall decline continues. Along with limited stream response, people are still experiencing difficulties with their wells. There are trees exhibiting fall-like colours. There is still concern for fish and other aquatic creatures. These factors have prompted the Rideau Valley Water Response Team to continue with the “severe” drought status for the present. All watershed
residents are encouraged to continue their efforts to conserve water. The next meeting of the water response team is planned for on or about Sept. 1. The drought status will be reviewed and amended as appropriate relative to the conditions at that time.

Varied, nutritious and easy-toprepare lunches? It is possible! For mom and dad, the new school year marks the return of the dreaded lunch box. Just thinking about it gives you a headache? Don’t panic; the chore of preparing a lunch box doesn’t have to be tedious and monotonous. Here are five tips to help you make varied, healthy lunches that are easy to put together. 1. Keep fresh fruit on hand. Apples, pears, tangerines and bananas are always delicious, and they travel well. Wash fruit as soon as you get back from the grocery store so you can quickly put them in lunch boxes for a dessert or a snack. Why not make some healthy kabobs, alternating cheese and pieces of fruit. Your children will ask for them again and again. 2. Prepare your vegetables in advance. Cut them into strips, slices or wedges and prepare individual portions for the whole week. 3. Cook in large quantities. When preparing meals, always make extra to freeze in lunch-sized portions. All you have to do is to thaw them in the fridge overnight and put them into the lunch boxes to be reheated in a microwave. You can also warm the
food up in the morning and put it in an insulated container. Convenient, isn’t it. 4. Vary breads and fillings. Instead of always using sliced bread, try tortillas, bagels, ciabatta or pita. Replace lettuce with spinach, apple slices or grated carrots. Substitute mayonnaise with a tzatziki sauce. Be creative! 5. Play with pasta. Cook macaroni, fusilli or other whole grain pasta in advance. In the morning, add some vegetables, ham, chicken or tuna and a little cheese for a nutritious meal that can be eaten warm or cold.

Yarmouth hopes ‘Cat’ will rekindle success in Nova Scotia town The town of Yarmouth is well situated. Sitting firmly on the southwest tip of the Nova Scotia peninsula the community has the Bay of Fundy lapping on its shores. Just a few miles away the wide Atlantic stretches endlessly to the south and east. Yarmouth is the county seat and with 7,000 residents it is the largest community in the western part of the province making it the centre of business and commerce for the region. The town features a long, broad main street, one block up (and up and up) from the pretty harbour. There are lots of accommodations for visitors with hotels, motels and guest houses aplenty. Like most Canadian centres Yarmouth was not immune to peripheral development. Big box stores, fast food restaurants and gas stations ring the historic centre. The country’s most famous coffee emporium has two locations in Yarmouth. Like so much of Nova Scotia, Yarmouth continues to be dependent on the fishing industry which has been the lifeblood of the community since its founding in 1761. Yarmouth based trawlers shuttle back and forth from the rich fishing grounds of the ‘Georges Bank’ located off the American east coast. Their harvest these days is comprised largely of haddock with cod still on the endangered species list. Despite the strictly imposed quota
system, there is still lots of money to be made for those who are willing to work hard and accept the risks which have always been inherent to the industry. There isn’t a restaurant worth its salt in Yarmouth and district that doesn’t feature lobster, usually in a variety of delectable forms. The town is at the heart of the world’s largest lobster fishing grounds. During the season more of the most sought after marine crustaceans on the globe are landed in Yarmouth than in any other Canadian centre. Because of the fishing industry and the incredibly rich history of Nova Scotia, Yarmouth is also heavily dependent on tourism to feed its coffers. Earlier this month, in the company of Carleton Place friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc, Kathleen and I joined the summer visitors’ parade to Yarmouth and region and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Before proceeding I want to make one thing clear. The LeBlanc’s do not qualify as Nova Scotia tourists! Frank hails from the neighbouring fishing village of Wedgeport where he began his work life in the family fishing business before graduating to a long and distinguished career in the Canadian Armed Forces. Frank still has siblings and lots of other close family living there. The LeBlanc’s were married in Wedgeport. They just celebrated a

landmark anniversary actually. Wendy has been to Nova Scotia so many times she has lost count. So no, not tourists! Paid the price I long ago learned that in recent years, tourist traffic to Yarmouth and western Nova Scotia had suffered a sharp decline. In 2009 the province’s previous New Democratic Party government cut a $6 million annual subsidy to the firm which operated a ferry service between Yarmouth and Bar Harbor, Maine. The decision effectively severed Yarmouth’s economic lifeline to such heavily populated centres as Boston and New York City, not to mention U.S. communities in Maine and the rest of New England. Ultimately that decision had dire consequences for the NDP. The voters of Yarmouth and region joined the province-wide tide which swept former Premier Darrell Dexter and his New Democrats out of office in the
fall of 2013. Just weeks before the election Dexter’s government announced a deal had been reached to reinstate ferry service from Yarmouth to Portland, Maine the following spring. It was too little too late. The damage had already been done. The Nova Scotia Liberals, led by current Premier Stephen McNeil, won 33 of 51 seats in the Legislature. During the four years the ferry service was out of business the impact on Yarmouth was dire. Hotels, restaurants and many other businesses closed their doors. Most tourist-related businesses suffered badly. Even though the ferry has been operating for over two years there is no sign yet that it will revive Yarmouth’s sagging economy. Two modern hotels in the downtown area sit empty. The number of storefronts with ‘For Sale’ or ‘For Rent’ signs in their front windows is depressing to see. Even venerable Toots Confectionary, a candy store and a fixture on Main Street, has a For Sale sign nailed to the front. They feature the most impressive display of candy I have ever seen anywhere but, at the very least, could be forced to relocate. On our first of three nights in Yarmouth we enjoyed a delicious fish and seafood dinner at the town’s largest harbour front restaurant. It
was a Wednesday and the place was jammed. Not surprising perhaps, considering it is one of only two restaurants we could find open along the harbour. Clearly the long hiatus for the ferry service has cut into the town’s hospitality trade. It was approaching 9 p.m. when we emerged. I remembered hearing that the ferry, it’s called “The Cat” locally (as in catamaran), was due to dock at the nearby international ferry terminal at 9 p.m. Only a few steps from the restaurant and we were outside the fence of the ferry dock. After asking a taxi driver, who was clearly waiting expectantly, we learned the ship was fast approaching the jetty. It was a calm night and the huge, twin-hulled vessel glided to a nearly silent stop completing a five and a half hour crossing from Portland, Maine’s largest city. From our vantage point we could only see the front end. It was an impressive sight none the less. The Fast Cat, operated by Charlottetown-based Bay Ferries, is actually the second relaunch of the service. In 2014 and 2015 the seasonal route (June to October) was served by another firm. That service cost the province $41.5 million and failed to meet passenger targets. See MAGUIRE page 23

Tale of greed and stupidity must be a true story MOVIE: War Dogs STARRING: Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Ana de Armas and Bradley Cooper DIRECTOR: Todd Phillips RATING: 14A Train wrecks aren’t entertaining. There’s no joy to be gleaned from watching someone’s selfdestruction. However, they do hold a certain fascination. War Dogs is based on the true story of how David Packouz (Miles Teller) and Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill) won a $300 million Pentagon contract. How do two twenty somethings do such a thing? The answer boils down to stupidity, and a whole lot of greed. David is a massage therapist with a pregnant girlfriend, who is panicking because he doesn’t know how he is going to support his new family. In walks Efraim, his best friend from junior high, with a business opportunity. Efraim has been selling guns to the U.S. military, and he needs a partner he can trust. Efraim has been taking advantage of a government initiative that allows small businesses to get government contracts. David has some reservations which evaporate when he sees the kind

High-speed vessel This spring Bay Ferries introduced a new service, chartering a high-speed U.S Navy transport vessel and refurbishing it. They hope the catamaran will resonate with the travelling public. To drive by land from Yarmouth to Portland would take the average motorist twice as long as the 5.5 to six hours the Cat takes to cover the 341 kilometres of ocean from Portland. The ferry can accommodate 700 passengers, more than 200 regular motor vehicles and can also handle coaches (buses) but not transport trucks. There are three restaurant options onboard along with a children’s play area, a movie section and a market. Once again the new service, which runs once a day each direction from June 15-Oct. 1, is heavily subsidized by the Nova Scotia government. Despite opposition criticism provincial Transport Minister Geoff MacLellan rationalizes the cost factor and the financial risk to taxpayers by focusing on the impact no service had on Nova Scotia and the potential benefits of the current ferry. “During the time (four
of money involved. With the Iraq War going on there’s a lot of money to be made, and soon their small arms business becomes a big arms business. They win the deal with the Pentagon partly because they lie, but mostly because they’re the cheapest bid. They’re cheap because they’re willing to work with Henry Girard (Bradley Cooper) another arms dealer who’s barred from doing business in the U.S. because he’s on a watch list. I’m sure you’re thinking how could this possibly go wrong? The answer is it goes very wrong. It goes about seven different kinds of wrong. People are shot at, some almost die, one disappears, trusts are broken, truths are revealed, arrests are made, and jail time gets served. It’s the kind of story that has to be real because no one in their right mind would make it up. While the story is a train
wreck it’s important to note the film is not. I can’t call it entertaining, but there’s a fascination to it. War Dogs pulls back the curtain on how this dirty little part of the world works, and I think there’s always an interest in seeing that. There’s something about Miles Teller. I haven’t liked every film I’ve seen him in, but I like him. He’s shown range, sensitivity, and an ability to create real emotion. Important traits when the person you’re playing doesn’t just have to seem real, but is real. I’ve never met Jonah Hill, but I’ve heard he’s a decent human being. Which speaks volumes about his ability as an actor because the way he plays a borderline psychopathic sleaze ball is jaw dropping. He’s so good, if you saw him walking down the street you’d cross to the other side and check your pocket to make sure you still had your wallet. War Dogs doesn’t have the charm of The Big Short, or the shocking excess of The Wolf of Wall Street, but it does tell an interesting story and it tells it well.

years) the ferry was not operating we saw a virtual decimation of the southern economy. Every tourism operator, hotel, motel, bed and breakfast, restaurant, clothing store – you name it – was affected by this,” MacLellan told the media this spring. He said his government was told “loud and clear” that the ferry brought tens of thousands of American visitors and huge revenues to Nova Scotia annually. But kick-starting such a service takes time. Good service and longevity lead to customer loyalty and although numbers aren’t yet as high as everyone had hoped, there is still room for optimism as we discovered during our stay. The disadvantage for Nova Scotia is that the ferry arrives at night which means late hotel and guest house check-ins. However the operator of the wonderful B&B where we stayed made it clear how valuable the service is. Twyla is a human dynamo who goes to great lengths to make sure her customers are happy. Her muffins, which she carefully packs for visitors’ road trips, are to die for! She sat with us after preparing our breakfast one morning. Frank asked about the impact
of the ferry. Twyla hustled to her nearby work desk and came back armed with figures, which she carefully compiles. For privacy reasons I won’t go into detail. Suffice it to say that her American business has doubled since the ferry returned to service in 2014. She says that so far “The Cat” promises to improve on those numbers. “Last night there was a huge line of vehicles that landed,” she told us. “It looked really good to me.” Twyla even ferries customers and luggage to and from the terminal. One day earlier she discovered a U.S. visitor had accidentally left her muffins behind. She called the lady’s cell and arranged to drop them off to her before the morning ferry sailing to Portland. Now that’s what I call customer service! After experiencing Yarmouth first-hand I’m hopeful the return of the Cat will eventually have a huge positive impact on a lovely seaside town that is clearly in need of a boost. Yarmouth has a lot going for it. But without the added dollars provided by America visitors it can’t thrive!

Ministry says fair’s Celebrate Ontario grant never in jeopardy From front page
The call came from Blair Harris, tourism regional advisor for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Frontenac County and Lennox and Addington County. “He spoke with me for half an hour or so,” said Allan. “He asked what the plan was with the contest. I told him the contest would go ahead.” The Ontario Provincial Police notified the MTAS that the Ottawa Animal Defense League (OADL), a group of activists from the Ottawa area, had scheduled to protest the event. After speaking with Allan, another fair board member was contacted by Harris. An emergency meeting was called on Aug. 18, where cancelling the Greasy Pig Contest was put to a vote. The board discussed “what was happening and what needed to happen,” according to Allan. The MTAS received approximately $47,000 of funding, in the form of a Celebrate Ontario grant, this year. The grant was applied for to continue growing the fair year over year. A similar grant will be sought in 2017, for the 125th edition of the fair. “It was all about the money, not about the kids,” said Allan. “In no way were the pigs ever harmed or distressed,” he continued. “I’ve been running this event for 12
years now and I’ve never seen anything bad happen to one of the pigs.” Between 70 and 100 local kids, age two to 11, participated in the contest annually. Allan said all the negative comments about the contest came from outside the township. “I think it’s disturbing. I always like to bring entertainment out in kids; I like to see their happy faces and hear them laughing. I’m upset the kids have to lose out. It’s all about the kids for me – not the money.” The Greasy Pig Contest was scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 20. A petition was circulated asking that the event be cancelled due to concerns about the treatment of the pigs used in this contest. “We are very pleased that the event was cancelled, as it shows that there are many caring people out there, who do not want to see animals used for such barbaric entertainment,” stated Michele Thorn, of the OADL, in a press release. “We were prepared to protest the event in order to educate as many people as possible as to why such contests should be a thing of the past, that the pigs feel fear just like us, and that there is no reason to subject them to this. We held a protest outside the Lombardy Fair on July 30, as they were holding a similar event, called a Pig Scramble and there was a significant amount of positive reaction from the public.”
Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland
Paul Allan, president of the Mountain Township Agricultural Society, stands outside the South Mountain fairgrounds on Aug. 20. “With regards to the Greasy Pig Contest, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport received a complaint from a member of the public concerning the Greasy Pig Contest at the South Mountain Fair,” said
2016 Celebrate Ontario funding was approved to support a variety of enhancements to the South Mountain fair not related to the contest. At no time was the fair’s Celebrate Ontario grant in jeopardy.”

Doors Open North Grenville doles out brochures and t-shirts to council on Aug. 8 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Looking good in Doors Open swag. The official brochure launch for Doors Open North Grenville was held on Aug. 8. “Doors Open is an opportunity for residents to become tourists in their own community,” said Rowena Cooper, chair of the North Grenville Heritage Advisory Committee. “It is also an opportunity for visitors who are thinking of perhaps putting down roots and moving to North Grenville to find out the resources available here.” She explained Doors Open originated in France in the mid-1990s and first arrived in Canada in the year 2000. “When the City of Toronto first threw its doors open to everyone,” said Cooper. Since 2001, Doors Open Ontario has attracted 5.8 million visitors. “In 2016, 43 municipalities will be hosting Doors Open,” said Cooper. “Each year, a different theme is announced to partner cultural and natural
heritage sites that are open to the public. For 2016, it is science and innovation, with an emphasis on medical science.” She said from the beginning, support received for Doors Open from local organizations has been overwhelming. “We have 25 different sites that our residents will be able to see,” said Cooper. She explained Doors Open is an expensive undertaking. “The registration fee, paid to the Ontario Heritage Trust, covers the Doors Open website, the Ontariowide lure brochure that was included in The Kemptville Advance several weeks ago, the signs that will indicate the location of each site and media advertising. So, after much deliberation, we decided we needed to find private sponsors to help with the various aspects of the day. Once again, we were overwhelmed by the support we received.” Doors Open North Grenville will take place on Sept. 24. “From the bottom of our hearts, the committee would like to thank our sponsors, our volunteers, our wonderful

Lots of work underway at the Kemptville Salvation Army office Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
“With a little help from my friends”, is not just a line from a song. It is a very real way of thinking for Calvin and Erin Wong, pastors at the Kemptville Salvation Army. Over the past few years the couple have continued the projects started years ago by their predecessors, one of which was the change in location of the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Once the relocation of the Thrift Store was accomplished it opened up several opportunities in the new space at the store’s previous location in the Salvation Army office at 2 Oxford Street East . The Salvation Army office has a new accessibility ramp. Now that the Thrift Store has moved there is more room to have a meeting place inside the office and that means
? !
providing better accessibility for people who use the office. “Our front porch was literally falling apart,” said Erin Wong. “Every winter ice would back up,” she said. With funding from the Salvation Army Division headquarters and a grant from North Grenville’s Community Improvement Program the Salvation Army was able to go ahead with their project. North Grenville economic officer Teri Devine made sure the funding from the community program was in place. She said the ramp project was a great example of the kind of projects the Community Improvement Plan wants to support. The cost of the ramp was close to $20,000 with $5,000 of that coming from the municipality. Calvin Wong did the work himself with the help of volunteers and in particular some neighbours.
Paul McGinnis, Raymond Nichol and Phil Castle along with several other volunteers made the ramp possible. “We got the wood from Rona here in Kemptville and from the Wood Source in Manotick,” explained Calvin. It took a few months to design to code but once that part was completed work got underway, explained Calvin. Calvin and Erin are also working on renovating the foyer at the office and have already converted the food bank area as well as the Sunday worship area into a better space. Now people can also sue the basement space that has been set up with tables and chairs and is adjacent to the area slated to become a new kitchen. Calvin and Erin said that all of the renovating that has been completed and the plans for the future would be impossible without the help of volunteers.

Committee discusses Tempo subdivision and transfer of drainage responsibilities Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The following is a list of briefs from the committee of the whole meeting held Aug. 15. Glenview Homes paying for $4.5 million sanitary pumping station in Northwest Quadrant “The Tempo subdivision (Glenview Homes) that is directly across from the municipal center, on the west side of (County Road) 44, received draft approval from the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville in Oct. 2014,” said Phil Gerrard, acting manager of planning and building. “Subsequent to that, in Jan. 2015, this council approved the zoning for that particular development and the conditions of draft approval were recommended by this council to the county. There were 34 conditions of draft approval that the developer had to fulfill, in order to get the subdivision registered and lots created.”
He explained there are 154 lots being created in this development. “We’re now at the stage where the subdivision agreement has essentially been finalized,” said Gerrard. “This particular subdivision could not have proceeded without the construction of a sanitary pump station in the Northwest quadrant, which was not our schedule. However, the developer has approached us and indicated he would up-front the cost, to the tune of $4.5 million. So the terms and conditions have been discussed between the developer and staff and there was a recommendation to proceed in that manner, that he was willing to up-front that cost, and in turn the municipality will allow the development costs for each individual unit there to be credited.” The resolution was recommended to council. NGFS assists with Mallorytown wildland fire “The North Grenville
Fire Service provided personnel and specialized wildland equipment to assist the Front of Yonge, close to Mallorytown,” said Fire Chief Paul Hutt. “They had a wildland fire and it’s just an example of the mutual aid agreements we have in the county and if we have a significant event, all departments pool their resources and equipment to assist with a significant fire that they have.” “On top of that, on Wednesday, Aug. 10, in Oxford Station, on Rachel Crescent, we responded to a structure fire,” said Hutt. “The fire was actually quickly extinguished. It started on the back deck. The cause is still under investigation, but for the most part it was determined (the fire was) as a result of the extreme dry conditions and misuse of cigarette material.” Final transfer payment agreement received for multi-use pathway on County Road 44 “Council may be aware that the municipality did
receive some funding through the Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure funding program for a multi-use pathway on County Road 44,” said Mark Guy. “Today I received the final transfer payment agreement from the provincial government and those agreements have to be passed by bylaw, through council and signed by the appropriate people here at the municipality. So I just wanted to give you heads-up I’ll be bringing a small report to council next Monday night so these documents can be signed.” Transfer of drainage responsibilities “The report before you this evening has been discussed at length over the years, but Phil Gerrard, our senior planner and acting manager, was appointed the drainage superintendent at amalgamation,” said Karen Dunlop, director of public works. “It has been discussed for several years to transfer these responsibilities into the storm water
responsibilities of public works.” The resolution, to remove Gerrard from the position of drainage superintendent and the tile drainage inspector and appoint Eric Sly into the said positions, was recommended to council. Sidewalk assumption “As part of the budget process a year ago, an allotment for the extension of the sidewalk linking the Kemptville Community Square (Shoppers Drug Mart mall) to the municipal center was approved,” said Dunlop. “The legal issue of land ownership and maintenance responsibility needed to be addressed. Public works has been working with the development group to see this through to fruition. The attached agreement stipulates that North Grenville would maintain the sidewalk winter and summer to meet the minimum maintenance standards.” The agreement was vetted by the municipal insurance provider, which
recommended two additional clauses to the agreement. “As part of our expanding pedestrian network, this link County Road 43 – the mall – to this municipal center,” said Dunlop. “This will add about 76 meters of sidewalk.” The report was recommended to council. 10-year agreement for tax relief for Royal Canadian Legion recommended “The report before committee this evening is recommending that council enact a bylaw to exempt the property owned by the Royal
Canadian Legion from all municipal property taxes, including the education portion, for a period of 10 years,” said Kirsten Rahm, accounts payable clerk. “Past practice has been to not charge the Royal Canadian Legion and staff wants to formalize this agreement.” She explained with regards to the education portion, staff recommends the municipality provide a grant to the legion in the amount of the education levy annually. The resolution was recommended to council.

The past two years in Kemptville and Merrickville there has been an influx of musicians as well as thousands who support music. This, of course, is due to the Kemptville Live Music Festival and the Merrickville Jazz Festival. These events are at the top of the music pyramid in our communities. But, it is a pyramid that is supported by a large base of participants. Kemptville and Merrickville have extended and vibrant musical communities. You wouldn’t necessarily know it until you became part of it. This is what happened to me several years ago, when I decided to take my music to another level; I wanted to play music with other musicians. And so began, what has been for me in my retirement, a very rewarding journey.
Frederich Nietsche said that, “Without music, life would be an error.” That may sound a bit over the top for some. Some might say, “Music is what feelings sound like”. Or, for others, “Music is what calms my soul and takes me to another place, away from my problems.” Whichever of these points of view is most like yours, it doesn’t matter really. What does matter is that music plays a significant part in our lives. Few of us would chose to have a day where there was no music to listen to. For musicians, a day without playing music just does not feel right...at all. If you think about it, you would probably be surprised to note how much music plays a part in your daily life and how much you are influenced by it...regardless of whether you are a musician or not.

Licence sticker prices going up again for car owners Michelle Nash Baker
michelle.nash@metroland.com
The cost to renew an Ontario licence plate will go up again this September. The annual cost for a southern Ontario sticker will be $120 as of Sept. 1. A northern Ontario plate will cost $60. According to the Ministry of Transportation, the revenue generated from licence plate sticker fees is directed into general revenues, which support
all government investments, including investments in provincial transportation infrastructure. “These revenues help to ensure that the province has adequate funds to maintain our provincial roads and bridges in good repair for the benefit of all road users,” the ministry said in a written email statement. The cost for a sticker renewal has increased by 62 per cent since 2011 for southern Ontario residents, when it was then only $74. For northern Ontario residents the cost has risen from
$41 to $60 – an increase of 46 per cent. It was in March 2012, when the Ontario government announced it would be phasing in fee increases for driver and vehicle licence fees. According to the ministry, Ontario has been increasing these fees in an effort to ensure provincial roads, bridges and highways are safe and in good repair for future generations. Prior to the increase in 2012, licence plate sticker fees had not increased since 1997.

Kemptville District Hospital announces 2016/17 Board of Directors Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) is pleased to announce that Karen Cooper has been appointed Chair of its Board of Directors and the Board has welcomed two new members: Margaret Harrison and Stephen Saslove. Cooper, a distinguished lawyer who practices charity and not-for-profit law, succeeds outgoing Board Chair, Lis Angus. Cooper thanked Angus for her dedication to KDH since her election to the Board in 2008, and commended her for ably overseeing the operations of the hospital as Board Chair from 2014 to 2016. “In 2015 Lis guided us during a time of transition as we selected an Interim CEO, Michel Bilodeau, and then our permanent CEO, Frank Vassallo,” she said. “Also during her tenure, KDH was twice recognized in the top 10 percent of Ontario hospitals for inpatient care, and in the last months, we developed our new strategic plan with an unprecedented level of community engagement.” Angus continues to serve on the KDH Board of Directors as Past Chair. Cooper also expressed her appreciation of the newly elected directors: “Margaret and Stephen are excellent additions to our skills-based Board; I look forward to working with them, as together we guide the KDH forward within our changing health system.” Margaret Harrison is a Registered Nurse and Professor Emerita at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Her work crosses hospital, community, and transitional care sectors and is marked by her commitment to community-based care and best practices. Before joining Queen’s faculty in 2000, Harrison was Director of Professional Development and Research at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and Nurse Specialist, Research and Evaluation, at The Ottawa Hospital. She has a B.N. from Dalhousie University, Master of Health Administration from University of Ottawa, and PhD (Health Sciences, Nursing) from McMaster University. Harrison currently serves on the Board of the International Joanna Briggs Institute, and served previously
New KDH director Stephen Saslove on the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario Board. “I am keen to volunteer on the KDH Board,” Harrison said, ”particularly because the hospital is a dynamic force in our community – progressive and forward
thinking in serving the local needs close to home. My career in nursing and research has been focused on finding and implementing best practices at the point-of-care. I hope this experience will add value as KDH’s care and new programs are planned in the next few years. Stephen Saslove is a semiretired Chartered Professional Accountant who acts as an independent financial consultant and Certified Executive Coach. He owned and operated an independent auditing, accounting, taxation and management consulting practice for 30 years, retiring from public practice in 2014. Saslove is also an avid teacher: he was a part-time professor at the University of Ottawa, taught at Algonquin College, and was a guest lecturer at the Institute of Economic Studies in Bucharest, Romania. He has extensive gover-
nance experience, including as President and Chair of the Board of Ottawa Hillel Lodge Home for the Aged, and Treasurer for the Sparks Street Business Improvement Area. He currently serves as Treasurer of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards Foundation. Saslove holds a Commerce degree from Carleton University. Saslove expressed his rationale for making a commitment to the KDH Board as follows: “I was very impressed with the reputation of KDH, both from its accreditation and from people I know who have been patients. I have professional and Board experience that I feel I can apply toward the continued growth and success of KDH. It’s an honour to have the opportunity to serve.”Frank Vassallo, KDH’s CEO, commented on the caliber of the hospital’s Directors: “KDH is very for-
Ontario hospitals is one of the strengths of our health system,” he concluded.

Bad attitude
he teenage years have come early in my house. I love my children, but some days I would like to have a parental panic room full of snacks, good music and booze I could lock myself in for a few hours without any negative repercussions. My oldest boy, who is a miniature version of myself, has decided talking back is the best method for dealing with conflict. Point in case: my house was filthy (typical), so I decided to vacuum the floor while the twins were having a nap. Twenty minutes later, as I cleaned the bathroom, my son walked through the garden (barefoot) and then trudged through the house with mud all over his feet. I came out of the bathroom and cursed (inaudibly). I located my son, who was sitting nonchalantly at the table, constructing Lego cars or something. I asked him why he would do that: A) go outside barefoot and B) then walk through the house. I explained it annoyed me when he did things like that, especially after he watched me vacuum the floors. ‘Well, maybe you shouldn’t clean the house in the morning then,’ was his response… After I swallowed the steam coming out of my ears, then remained silent for an extra 15 seconds to ensure the explosion inside my brain had subsided, I sent him to his room. I have to give my son a little credit here – his

y love of books started with Nancy Drew. As a primary school student I would head to the high school in the afternoon to wait for my dad, who taught there. After visiting the cafeteria for a still-warm chocolate chip cookie I would follow the strange maze of half-staircases and cavernous hallways to end up at one of the most modern rooms in the old building: the library. There was plenty of natural light flowing into the library because of all the windows but the books were kept in the centre of the room, away from the light. If you stood in the centre of the bookcases you were surrounded by a dusty, musty smell that has been filed in my memory among my favourite perfumes and aromas. Dusty books are right up there with Guerlain perfume from Paris and fresh baked bread. Every day I would sit on the floor in between the bookcases, facing a row of about 100 Nancy Drew books. I began at the beginning. Volume 1, The Secret of the Old Clock. Carolyn Keene brought girl-detective Nancy Drew to life, describing everything from what she ate to how
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION comebacks are usually rather witty and hilariously timed. But when directed at me, his affinity towards talking back becomes an extraordinary insult. Apparently he has forgotten who gave him life, cared for him tenderly when he was ill and provides everything he needs currently…what an easy thing to slip your mind. Following the mud on the floor incident, I was getting dinner ready and thoughtlessly – treacherously – put green pepper and cherry tomatoes on Hendrick’s homemade pizza. When he noticed this grievous act, he informed me ‘you ruined the pizza!’ Unfortunately, he had to go to bed at the same time as the twins that night, with nothing to entertain his delightfully articulate mind but regret. He was also barred from playing his precious video games for an entire week (may as well be a lifetime in his mind). My floors were nice and clean again after he vacuumed the entire house. Twice. Just in case dirt got missed. Hopefully, the teenage attitude will subside again for a few months. After all, I should still have another five years before the angry-teen syndrome sets in permanently. Right?
Simplistic beauty

she dressed, what she thought and felt and saw. I was mesmerized. And I read my way through that book, and another, and another, until I had finished the whole series. When I didn’t understand a word, I went to the librarian, Mrs. Scott. Her nickname was Dusty but she was anything else. Wavy red hair and energy to spare, she bustled me over to the dictionary and had me look each mysterious word up in turn. I still do that today when I meet a new word. After finishing the final Nancy Drew book in that original series of 100, I asked Mrs. Scott (her real name was Ramona) if there were any other similar books she would recommend. Books with strong female characters I could emulate in my imagination. “You’ve finished all the Nancy
Drew books.” She seemed a little bewildered and doubtful. “Well…yeah…unless you’ve got more somewhere,” I answered. When my dad came to collect me that afternoon Mrs. Scott notified him that I, at age ten, had read all the intermediate level Nancy Drew books. The next thing I knew, I was sitting alone in a stuffy office in the back of the library, taking a test to determine my I.Q. The librarian had suggested I be enrolled in classes for ‘enriched’ students from now on, because I was clearly brilliant. I failed the test miserably. “I told you she isn’t enriched,” scoffed my dad. “She just loves books.” And that was the end of that. After working my way through the books in the high school library, I got permission to walk to the town library after school. Sometimes I walked and read at the same time. I knew the path between the public school and high school and college where my mom worked so well, I never tripped. Sometimes I was late for piano lessons, however, because I would walk right by the house with my nose in the book, missing the address altogether and having to
double back. I preferred the afternoons I was free to head to the college campus where I would climb a tree and sit there, reading, obscured from the view of the college students passing on the pathway beneath by the thick tapestry of leaves. Yes, I was a bookworm. I still am. It’s my guilty pleasure, my stress relief and my escape as well as my inspiration and my challenge. This weekend, North Grenville will once again host the region’s largest book fair. It’s in a huge warehouse at the Ferguson Forest Centre. Money raised at the fair goes to the Kemptville Youth Centre, to help them pay their annual utilities bills. The books are conveniently categorized so you can find your fa-
vourite themes easily. I always head straight for the Canadian female writers. Elizabeth Hay, Camilla Gibb, Alice Munro…but they have tens of thousands of titles every year and they sell for a buck or two so you can afford to venture off into unknown territory if you’re intrigued by something new. So grab a big tote bag and head to the book fair this weekend, fellow book lovers. You can indulge this guilty pleasure, at least, knowing you are simultaneously doing something awesome for a very good cause in the community. Dibs on the Nancy Drew.

Come sing with the North Grenville Concert Choir on Monday nights The North Grenville Concert Choir is about to start a new and exciting season in September and they are looking forward to taking on new challenges and singing beautiful music. In the last couple of years the choir has risen to new heights and explored different musical avenues with their young and very talented Music Director Phillip Konopka. It has been a very enriching and rewarding experience, and a lot of fun. Music can do wonders for you …
it lifts the soul, frees the mind, decreases stress and generally brings happiness to those who make it and those who listen to it, and now research shows how music can bring comfort, relief and enjoyment. Numerous studies also show that people who sing are happier. As the North Grenville Concert Choir gets ready to start rehearsing again in September, the choir is inviting new members of all ages to come and join them. If you have always wanted to sing Handel’s Messiah, this is your
chance! It has been several years since the last time it was performed here but it will be revived this fall for the December performances; more performances (TBD) of a different musical genre will be prepared for the spring. Rehearsals are held every Monday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at St. John’s United Church in Kemptville. For more information go to www. ngcc.net or call 613-258-1281. The choir welcomes new members and look forward to a wonderful new season. Members of the North Grenville Concert Choir singing.

Council votes to waive development charges and fees for Habitat build Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The committee of the whole recommended waiving the development charges and building fees, totaling approximately $7,000, for the Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands build in Oxford Mills on Aug. 15. “I’d like to begin by thanking you for reviewing our letter that was sent and allowing us to speak to that letter today,” said Susan Zambonin, HFHTI volunteer. “As I am sure you are aware, Habitat for Humanity offers a family a hand-up, not a hand-out.” She explained partner families put 500 hours of sweat equity into their future homes. “Families then purchase the home at fair market value and they pay a no-interest, no down payment mortgage, which is re-assessed every year so their mortgage is never more than 25 per cent of their income, which makes it affordable,” said Zambonin. “The only thing a family is given is an opportunity to purchase a house.” The misconception is that Habitat for Humanity gives houses away for free. “We don’t do that,” she said. “But what we do is partner with
families who would not otherwise qualify for a conventional mortgage. Our program serves a small group of people – those that are between social housing and those that can afford a conventional mortgage. So it’s that small little band of middle to low-income families.” The truly unique part is the families Habitat for Humanity help become one of their major sponsors, she explained. “Because every time they make their mortgage payment, that money is used to build a house for the next family. So it’s the very definition of paying it forward. This year, our current partner families, will contribute one-third of the cost of renovation and relocation for the house in Oxford Mills, which is really amazing. As I said, these are the very people we’re helping create a better life for – for them, and their children – and now they’re helping other families become homeowners.” Homeowners become part of the community, contributing to the health and vibrancy of the local economy, by supporting local businesses, paying property taxes and putting their children into local extracurricular activities. “On behalf of Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands,
we ask council to waive the development fees for the Habitat for Humanity house in Oxford Mills,” said Zambonin. “I want to congratulate you for the work you do,” said Councillor Donovan Arnaud. “I am very, very thankful.” “I’m just going to echo what he said; I admire what you do,” said Councillor Jim Bertram. “No one has ever mistaken me for a handyman, so I don’t drive nails very well, but I would sure like to encourage you and thank you for the work you do.” “In 2013, we sponsored the Habitat for Humanity project in Kemptville by doing the same thing – waiving the development and building fees and also the planning applications involved,” said Phil Gerrard, acting manager of building and planning. “And all our fees were waived, as our contribution to the project. In the staff report you have this evening, you’ll see there is an estimate of the development charges and building permit fees and these are estimates around $7,000.” The resolution was recommended to council following a unanimous vote. The final vote was held on Aug. 22.

Waste
Spent most of this much needed rainy day putting things up. Blanching green and yellow beans for the freezer, pickling fiery hot peppers for Carl and getting the growing mountain of Roma tomatoes ready for freezing. I was watching a new program on PBS called Urban Conversion. The host and his wife and kids are trying to reduce their environmental footprint and take us along the journey. Today’s episode was about food waste in the U.S. At the top of the show they claimed that over 30% of all produce grown in the United States winds up in landfills. I thought at first I hadn’t heard it right but it was repeated several times throughout the show. I wondered about Canada. We are no better. We’re tossing away many billions of dollars every year for a multitude of reasons. The latest estimate is 31 billion. That’s just the cost of the produce. When you factor in energy, irrigation, transportation and marketing costs, it balloons to hundreds of billions. There are losses in the field, losses in transportation and at the wholesale and retail level but 47% of produce loss is at the hands of consumers. We toss more then 30% of the fruits, vegetables and grain that we purchase. Why? Retailers tell us that we won’t accept anything less then perfection. A spot on an apple or a bruised peach is unacceptable. We all have science projects growing in the fridge. Leftovers are left over but that’s not the biggest problem. As Dad would say, “ Our eyes are bigger then our stomachs”. We need smaller portions.
We buy too much, we eat too much and we waste too much.

Staff from Tim Allen’s Tree Service were busy working on clearing the building lot in Oxford Mills that will soon feature a home for someone who neeeds a bit of help. Clearing the trees out of the way is one of the first steps in giving a family an opportunity to own their own home.

Angie and I grow things. At this time of year we have a bounty of produce. The kitchen counter is full of tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, cabbage and Swiss chard. We process what we can for the long winter to come but we also share our good fortune with family, friends and the food bank. Any waste is sent to the compost heap.

South Nation Conservation summer program employs sixteen students South Nation Conservation (SNC) is pleased to recruit 16 talented summer students, through the summer program. SNC is grateful to have received funding from Service Canada creating an additional 7 summer student positions this year. “We’re proud to be in the position of giving talented students jobs,” said SNC General Manager Dennis O’Grady, adding that “the summer program is a great way to assess future fulltime employees.” From working in the field conducting surveys with forestry and fisheries staff to delivering education programs, students have the opportunity to gain experience in more than one discipline over the course of the sum-
mer. Many of this year’s summer students are from the region, including: Crysler, Limoges, Monkland, Morewood, Newington, Winchester and the City of Ottawa. The students are: Dominic Drapeau, Micaela Hadley, Sebastian Hebert, Carly Hutchinson, Simone Larin, Peter Martel, Sarah McGrath, Kiersti McMillan, Mathieu Meincke, Stephen Moore, Holly Nyenkamp, Adam Poapst, Chantal Quesnel, Mesha Sagram, Kelsey Smith, and Melanie St-Cyr. “Working at SNC has provided me with invaluable experience”, said University of Guelph Graduate Kelsey Smith, adding that “every
day I learn something new.” Winchester’s Chantal Quesnel, employed as an Engineering Student mentioned, “It’s been a pleasure working alongside dedicated and passionate staff members and contributing to diverse and challenging projects.” With support from Federal and Provincial funding agencies, SNC is the largest student employer in the area. Students attain experience to their related areas of study, and receive many opportunities to network and learn about environmental management. Their enthusiasm and support goes a long way. Holly Nyenkamp of Crysler is studying commerce at the University of
Ottawa. She feels as though her experience at SNC is helping her to acquire valuable business communication and marketing skills which are transferable to her chosen field of study. Mentored every step of the way, the students gain valuable knowledge of the inner-workings of a nonprofit organization all while working alongside passionate and hard-working staff. Funding received by Natural Resources Canada, Career Focus and ECO Canada will support additional recent graduate positions this fall.

As summer draws nearer to an unfortunate close, the one silver lining is that we return to our schedule of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee meetings (Insert the sound of crickets here). Our regularly scheduled meeting for September has been bumped up to Tuesday, August 30th. We will be returning to our regular home at Ben Franklin Place, starting at 10:00am. The agenda for this meeting includes the following items: • Zoning By-Law Amendments for Surplus Farm Severances at the following addresses: o 1331 John Quinn Road (Osgoode) o 1075 John Quinn Road (Osgoode) o 6220 and 6284 Malakoff Road (Rideau-Goulbourn) o 9339 Russell Road (Cumberland) • Front Ending Agreement for Design & Construction of the Richmond Sanitary Trunk Sewer • Zoning By-Law Amendment for 4041 Moodie Drive • Naming a future park in the Richmond Gate subdivision after Sarah McCarthy The Richmond Sanitary Trunk Sewer item is with regard to the extension of services from the existing sewer system in Richmond to the new development in the western portion of Richmond. The rezoning of 1441 Moodie Drive is a temporary rezoning that will allow Ottawa Fire Services to complete a training program that will involve some minor burning events. These will be monitored and contained by Ottawa Fire Services. The property is currently owned by the City of Ottawa with an entrance off of Barnsdale Road. Also on the agenda is an Omnibus Zoning Amendment which includes an amendment to zoning provisions relating to agricultural uses. Essentially, this doesn’t really change what is already in practice; it just makes certain things that are already being conducted permitted. As it stands now, there are minimum lot sizes in the rural area where agricultural uses are to be permitted. What this means is that, if you owned a 10 acre parcel of land in the AG zone, you are not technically allowed to farm it. This amendment changes that to permit agricultural uses on any property over 2 acres in size in the AG zone. As always, our ARAC meetings also feature an Open Mic session at the end. If you’d like to attend the meeting to speak, or just to listen in, you are more than welcome to do so. In fact, you are encouraged to. As mentioned earlier, our meetings are at Ben Franklin Place beginning at 10:00am and there is plenty of free parking available onsite. Dickinson Square’s Heritage Country Fair On September 2nd and 3rd, come out to Dickinson Square in downtown Manotick for the 2016 Heritage Country Fair. Friday evening’s festivities include a barn dance at Watson’s Mill featuring the Ever Hopeful String Band and their caller, Pippa Hall. The dance begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are available at Dickinson House and the Mill for $10, children under 12 are free. The fun continues on Saturday, September 3rd, with plenty of activities for the whole family. The Country Fair runs from 10:00am until 4:00pm and will feature a family dog show at 10:00am, live music throughout the event, a baking contest, model train display, food vendors, art contest, horse and carriage rides and more. At 1:00pm, the ITR Theatre Company will be performing “Monday’s Child” on the lawn of Dickinson House. Don’t miss that! The Heritage Country Fair is always a lot of fun for everyone and a great way to showcase our historic Dickinson Square. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.
Committee recommends lifting the hold on Lafarge pit despite opposition Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
A lone Boundary Road resident called council’s inaction regarding the Lafarge pit ‘disappointing’ on Aug. 15. “There has been an application received to remove the holding symbol on the Lafarge pit located on Bennett Road,” said Phil Mosher, planner. He explained the bylaw to zone the pit for mineral extraction was passed by council in Oct. 2015. “Requirement to lift the holding symbol is that a common entrance be established between the Moore pit, which is existing, and the newly zoned pit,” said Mosher. “That has been submitted. It was an interesting way that it was done. Essentially, Lafarge was able to enter into a long-term lease agreement at the present time, which serves the purpose of establishing a common entrance which will be used by both pits.” “Our community that surrounds that pit has had numerous issues regarding the pit,” Said Tony Marcantonio, Boundary Road resident. “The long-term issues still remain. They haven’t been addressed and I’ll just state them, again. There has been numerous correspondence between the community and the municipality and Lafarge. The first one would be property values are going to continue to suffer with Lafarge moving in there; many of the residents there are con-

cerned about the devaluation of their properties.” Marcantonio’s explanation of issues halted when he realized Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin and Councillor Donovan Arnaud, the only two council representatives in attendance (both Mayor David Gordon and Councillor Frank Onasanya were absent and Councilor Jim Bertram declared a conflict of interest), were otherwise occupied discussing something. As was later explained, they were determining whether quorum was met with only two members of council able to vote. It was determined quorum was met because, although Bertram declared a conflict, he was still in attendance of the meeting. “I apologize for that,” said Arnaud. “As you can see, there are only two of us here, with three of us here this evening and we wanted to make sure we had the quorum issue settled.” “The other big issue, for the residents who live directly across from the pit, is the amount of noise and dust blowing across the road,” said Marcantonio. “In terms of the hazard to public safety, again, and I have brought this up on a number of occasions, is that exit from Bennett Road to (County Road) 22. By the time the trucks reach a speed that’s conducive with the speed on 22, which is approximately 80 kilometers per hour – it takes me, in a pick-up truck with a trailer on it, at least 10 seconds to get up to that speed – in the meantime you have traffic coming over the bridge at 80 kilometers
an hour. Now the distance from the top of the hill, to that exit, is very, very short. Now, I know they propose a set of lights going in there, but I doubt very much that’s going to help.” “In a general sense, I am very disappointed with the municipality, at the political level, where it’s thrown up its hands and hidden behind provincial regulations and the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board),” he continued. “It’s like the shutJoe Morin/Metroland ting down of the licensing bureau (Service Ontario) – we The Lafarge pit, located on Bennett Road, off South Gower Drive. had nothing to do with that, we have no control over that – but we managed to get it to stay open, didn’t we. There was definitely a lack, from municipal council, in protecting the residents around the pit.” “The fact is that tonight, what’s before council, is the removal of the hold and the More than 300 vehicles presented criteria to remove the hold was Primary list and directions at: www.rideauauctions.com the establishment of a common entrance,” said Mosher.

tie for third heading into round 3. That third round on Friday proved to be her greatest challenge, a four-over 75 punctuated by a four-putt green on the 16th hole that left her with a double bogey. In typical Brooke fashion, she bounced back with a terrific 67 on Saturday to fall just two strokes short of a medal. Alena Sharp, the only other Canadian in the field, closed with a two-under-par 69 and completed her first Olympic experience in 30th place at 285 (+1).

She gave it an amazing run, but in the end Brooke Henderson settled for a seventh-place tie in the women’s golf tournament at the Rio Olympics. The 18-year-old star of the LPGA fired a final round 67 (-4) to finish at -8, a four-day total of 276 on Aug. 20. Inbee Park of South Korea, who returned to golf action after recovering from an ongoing thumb injury, played consistently throughout the event, ultimately running away with the title at -16 and claiming the Olympic gold medal. Lydia Ko of New Zealand, the world number one, was a distant second at -11 with Shanshan Feng of China tak-
ing the bronze at -10. Harukyo Nomura of Japan, Hee Young Yang of South Korea and Stacy Lewis of the United States were tied for fourth at -9. Henderson stayed in contention throughout the final round despite opening with a bogey on the first. Birdies on the fifth, seventh and ninth pushed her to six under par at the turn and within three shots of a medal. After bogeying 13, she fought back again with birdies on 14, 16 and 18 to reach the clubhouse at -8. After opening with a oneunder-par 70 on Wednesday, Henderson got herself into the mix with a sizzling seven-under 64 on Thursday, leaving her in a

The second annual ERACE VIOLENCE walk/run/cycle event being held Sunday, Sept. 11 at the Middleville Museum is coming up quickly! The generosity shown by our community through donations of time, sponsorship of funds and gifts of prizes for our draw, has just been outstanding. All funds raised by the event go directly to Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) to show our appreciation for what they accomplish each day, all year. LCIH is helping women and children in our community who are facing violence while educating our community on the realities of violence and working to prevent future violence in our county and beyond. If you are unable to participate in the event but would still like to donate please visit www.lcih.org. We are excited to have added a 1km Family Fun Trail Run to our list of events.

An energy efficiency lesson for first-time college and university students Students starting university and college may have graduated high school but they may not have received an education in energy efficiency. Hydro One has a quick, 10-step lesson to help students keep electricity costs down for the upcoming school year. • When researching an apartment or house to rent, find out if your electricity bill is included in your rent or if you are billed separately.
• Study the Time-of-Use schedule and use high electricity-use appliances like the dishwasher, space heater, stove and dryer during off-peak hours as much as possible. • Regularly review your electricity usage by setting up an online account at www.HydroOne.com/MyAccount to track your electricity consumption by the hour. • When you leave for class, make sure
all unnecessary lights are turned off. • After pulling an all-night cram session, turn off your computer and laptop. • Remember science class? Electricity is drawn from household gadgets, electronic devices and appliances even when not in use. Plug appliances and equipment that are not used constantly into a power bar with an off switch for an easy and quick way to turn
them all off. • Get an honorary conservation degree by trapping the heat in your home in the winter. Keep doors and windows closed, hang thick-lined curtains to keep the heat in and install weather stripping around the doors to get an A+. • Get additional credit for limiting your use of air conditioning. Keep your home or apartment cool in the summer
by opening windows at night when it is cooler and closing blinds during the day to keep the heat out. • Study your taps to ensure that you have no leaks. • Experiment by washing your clothes in cold water, during off-peak hours to keep costs low. Clothes dryers also consume a lot of electricity so hang dry your laundry to save on your bill. Submitted by Hydro One

Wardens’ caucus presses key rural eastern Back to basics: Re-educate yourself Ontario issues at AMO 2016 conference on how to keep a healthy mouth During a series of meetings with provincial cabinet ministers as part of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual conference held this week in Windsor, Ontario, members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) raised a number of significant issues facing the region, including: • Extending natural gas into rural communities for the residential and commercial sector; • Bringing improvements and expansions to the hydroelectricity transmission grid, on an urgent basis, to serve the growing needs of businesses and industries across the region; • Making mobile broadband services available to businesses and residents by closing the coverage and capacity gaps in the current cell networks, while building a first responder public safety network that can serve as a model for the provincial and federal levels; • Urging the provincial government to focus on plans for growing rural eastern Ontario’s economy rather than creating more barriers to development; • Stemming the rising tide of Ontario Provincial Police and other emergency services costs, which are impacting the ability to invest in local municipal infrastructure.
pace, with no end in sight, and the reality is that rural customers are shouldering a disproportionate burden compared to their urban counterparts,” stated Peter Emon, EOWC chair and Warden of Renfrew County. “High energy costs force families to choose between electricity bills and other basic necessities and services, posing a growing threat of ‘energy poverty’ across our region and the province. They also hurt the growth potential of our businesses, which have also expressed the urgent need to address grid reliability issues and high expansion costs.” As part of its advocacy work during the AMO Conference, the EOWC delivered a written formal submission to the Ministry of Energy regarding the province’s next Long-Term Energy Plan. The submission includes recommendations around making the necessary infrastructure investments needed for the expansion of energy systems; bringing a reliable flow of natural gas and electricity to rural and remote areas of eastern Ontario; and advocating for more affordable energy solutions for rural Ontario. “We also spoke directly with Ontario ministers about other concerns that create significant financial burdens on municipal budgets, such as the rising cost of policing and emer“In the case of energy costs, they gency services, the broken interest are increasing at an unprecedented arbitration system contributing to
those escalating costs, and the current legal system known as joint and several liability that holds municipalities financially responsible for issues often out of their control and jurisdictions, and raises their insurance premiums,” added Warden Gail Code (Deputy Reeve, Drummond/North Elmsley), of Lanark County. “Municipal taxpayers are increasingly realizing that local governments cannot continue to manage these costs and that the province must take action on these issues to ensure we can continue to fix our roads, bridges and water systems,” added Emon. “The EOWC has always sought to develop a reasoned, research and professional approach to working with the provincial government, which explains the importance of preparing for opportunities like the ones held over the past few days in Windsor.” The EOWC represents 13 counties and single-tier municipalities and 90 local municipalities across rural eastern Ontario, and has a proven track record of providing accurate research to upper levels of government and completing projects on time and on budget. With its history of success, the EOWC’s goal is to make eastern Ontario a model region for both Ontario and Canada. Submitted by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus
More than two million kids across the province are preparing to head back to school soon, but everyone in the family can use a refresher course on how best to care for their mouths. The Ontario Dental Association (ODA) wants you to remember the “old school” basics of oral health care which includes brushing twice daily and not eating too much sugar. Here are the ABCs and Ds to follow for a healthy smile…and a healthy mouth. Awareness: Stress, medications, smoking, over-consumption of alcohol and sugar, as well as acidity levels in juice, soda and sports drinks, can negatively impact your oral health. They may also increase your risk of developing gum disease, tooth decay and oral cancer. • Brushing: Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening not only gives you a fresh, sparkling smile, it’s also a critical component in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. • Cleaning: Other areas of your mouth need attention that brushing alone can’t provide. Flossing removes particles of food from in between teeth and using mouthwash can reduce plaque, cavities and gingivitis. • Dentist: Getting a regular
dental exam is key to maintaining optimal oral health. Your dentist is trained to detect and diagnose problems before you see or feel them, which is also when they are much easier and less expensive to treat. Dr. Jack McLister, ODA president, says, “As we return to our usual routines, back-toschool time is also a perfect opportunity to reassess the oral health-care routine of the whole family to make sure everyone maintains a healthy smile.” About the Ontario Dental Association The ODA has been the voluntary professional association for dentists in Ontario since 1867. Today, we represent more than 9,000, or nine in 10, dentists across the province. The ODA is Ontario’s primary source of information on oral health and the dental profession. We advocate for accessible and sustainable optimal oral health for all Ontarians by working with health-care professionals, governments, the private sector and the public.

HARPER, Julie M. (nee Saunders) Dec. 8, 1972-Aug. 28, 2015 The angels came to take her home, To a place where she lies sleeping, Where the breezes blow freely, Lies the one we loved so dearly. With tears we seen you suffering, And watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully and free from pain, We could not wish you back here, To suffer all that again. God saw you were getting tired, When a miracle was not meant to be, So He closed His arms around you, And whispered “come to me”. You didn’t deserve what you went through, He decided to give you a rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. Love Dougie, Terry and Misty

BURKE – In memory of a special brother Orville Burke who passed away one year ago August 31, 2015. Today is full of memories of a Brother laid to rest, And every single one of them is filled with happiness. For you were someone special, always such a joy to know, And there was so much pain when it was time to let you go. That’s why this special message is sent to heaven above, For the angels to take care of and give you all our love. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by Ken, Eveline, Gordon and Ronald
PENNETT, Colleen – In memory of our little angel in heaven since August 28, 1985. The joy of looking on your beautiful face, The shining eyes, the mischievous smile, The wonder of love felt the warm embrace of your arms. The knowing of each morning that it would be another day, Spent with the greatest gift God could ever give. The brightness and joy you brought to my world, But they only lasted a little while. And then God called you back. I’m left only with the memory of a precious daughter, In the hope that you are in heaven waiting, To again give me all the wonder and happiness that only you can give. Always loved and missed Mommy & Daddy.

MILLAR, SCOTT (10 years) Dec. 17, 1969-Aug. 16, 2006 Remember Scott with a smile today, He wasn’t one for tears. Reflect instead on memories of all the happy years, Recall his laugh and the way he spoke. And the funny things he did, His strength, his love and the way he joked. His eyes that shone with fun, So much of him that never died, He left for everyone. Forever in our hearts Dad, Mother, Vicki and boys

Studio Theatre in Perth unveils new seats donated by NAC Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
The best seat in the house is any one of the 200 available at Perth’s Studio Theatre following a generous donation from the National Arts Centre (NAC). The theatre unveiled the new seats prior to a performance of their current production, Bingo Ladies, on Aug. 18 with a special ribbon cutting. Board of directors, supporters as well as special guests from the NAC and Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid were in attendance for the festivities. The red seats come from the NAC’s main theatre, Southam Hall, which is currently undergoing a renovation as part of the centre’s architectural rejuvenation project. “I would like to express our thanks to the National Arts Centre for generously donating the seats to our little community theatre that needed them so badly,” remarked Studio Theatre president Penny Silberhorn. “I’m sure all of you who have sat in any of them, agree.” Silberhorn noted it would have been difficult for the theatre to purchase new seats, so she was grateful the NAC stepped in and that the Studio Theatre now owns a little piece of history. “As you cozy into the comfy seats, you’ll notice that they have a few battle scars. They’re not brand new, but it just gives them character and speaks to the history,” she said. “Those seats have made countless of thousands of people comfortable over the years as people have enjoyed the stellar performances that Southam Hall is famous for.” Andrew Wisniowski, project manager for the architectural rejuvenation project, was happy to see the seats being put to good use. He was joined at the event by NAC English theatre producing co-ordinator Clayton Baraniuk and Canada Dance Festival arts manager Jason Dubois. “They (seats) had 10 to 15 years left in them and it would have been a shame to see them go to waste,” he said. He noted approximately 1,400 of the 2,300 seats in Southam Hall were donated. In addition to the Studio Theatre, 700 seats went to

Woodroffe High School in Ottawa and some made their way to the Astor Theatre, located in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. “It puts the ‘National’ in National Arts Centre,” he joked. The NAC’s renovations are expected to take another year to complete, but Southam Hall will be ready for programming on Oct. 5. “And then the rest of the project will unfold,” Wisniowski said. “There will be another big opening ceremony on July 1, 2017 and then the project will dribble to a conclusion just before Christmas in 2017, so we still have a fair bit of work to do.” He commended the dedicated volunteers with the Studio Theatre. “I know a lot of this work was done by volunteers,” Wisniowski continued. “I do a lot of work volunteering in my community and I think it’s a very important part of community life, so I was really happy to hear of the effort that the volunteers put into this and to all of you who participated in that, great.” The value of the donation was not lost on Reid either. “We’ve benefitted so much from Ottawa’s cast-offs over the years,”

he said. “The seats, the Crystal Palace, and I myself, an Ottawa castoff, am glad to be here,” Reid commented, adding he was pleased to see his former high school, Woodroffe, also benefit from the seats. Reid also indicated community theatre doesn’t run without volunteers, a core group who live and breathe the sets, costumes, etc. “There is no place that has a more active volunteer community (than Perth),” he said. “Not just in theatre, but in taking care of people, youth...this community is amazing. This theatre is part of this community.” As ticket holders for that evening’s performance of Bingo Ladies begin to file into the lobby, the ribbon was cut and Silberhorn welcomed them upstairs into the theatre. “As we ascend the theatre above us, those of us who have been here before will be amazed at the transformation the new seats have made to the theatre,” she noted. “They look fabulous and it warms things up. Not only do they match our theme colours, but they also match the set really well.” “So, without further ado, we’ll let you in,” she added.
Take settlement offer and enjoy a much newer ride, advises Car Counsellor “Hi Brian, I’m looking for any ideas that might help me in my given situation as I feel the insurance company is taking advantage of me to minimize the bottom line output for my claim at my expense. A recent collision damage estimate to my 2008 Ford Taurus, although was a confirmed $4,985, seems a little high. My insurance company appraised the vehicle’s value at $5,549, which I believe is on the low side. It appears to me if they pay me $5,549 and they get salvage value, the difference works out to their benefit and I get short changed in the process. If there was a safety issue I’d understand that but there isn’t one, it’s all cosmetic. I’ve driven the vehicle for a month (unrepaired since the incident) and there is no change in performance just the cosmetic damage as verified when the vehicle was torn down by my local body shop that provided the repair quote. I pay insurance to protect myself not their bottom line. How do I win this battle? Any thoughts?” CL Our reader supplied photos and copies of the repair estimate in question. The settlement value the insurance firm offered seems fair according to current advertised sale listings for similar models with comparable equipment and mileage. Yes, the insurance company will get
some salvage value when taking possession of the Taurus, but it will probably be limited to less than 30 per cent of the appraised figure (if that). In 2016 there isn’t much relative demand for used parts for a 2008 Taurus wagon as many of this era are no longer on the road. And just because collision damage is cosmetic doesn’t mean it’s cheap. I prepare collision estimates every day as part of my day job and the one that this body shop completed isn’t excessive. Yes, they might be able to shave a few dollars off by sourcing used parts, but the likelihood of finding rust-free metal panels for a 2008 is pretty rare. In my humble opinion, I’d take this offer and enjoy the reward of a much newer ride with better fuel mileage, safety, comfort, and performance. “Hi Brian, We are wondering if any problems could occur by using 10W30 weight oil in the summer months instead of the 5W20 recommended by our auto’s manufacturer. I understand ports are designed to handle thinner oil but would this be a problem during warm summer months if 10W30 was used and 5W20 in winter.” CC Most carmakers today recommend only one grade of engine oil for yearround use (you should check your particular owner’s manual to be sure) and thicker oil really isn’t needed, and

Bridge to Terabithia creates fantasy kingdom for kids of all ages at the Station Theatre When tragedy strikes, Jesse must find a way to cope with life; happily, the insights the young boy gained in Terabithia take him forward on his own and let him share the magic of his artistic dream with others. There are two casts: Leslie (Juliet Alfaro and Hailey Besherah), May Belle (Avery and Susie Burt), Brenda (Valerie Brown and Emily Burns) and Mr. Aarons (Brant Daniluk and Nathan Matthews) are “swing” roles so two actors play those parts, each with his or her own performance night. The main character of Jesse is played by Wilson Pearl. And Prince Terrien, the Guardian of Terabithia, even appears “in person” to the delight of audiences. For the first time, after-show talks will be offered. Because of the content of the story and the strong presence of young people (only three adults), Director Lynda Daniluk is taking the opportunity to try the idea out. Anyone who wishes to stay and chat with both cast and crew afterwards is welcome; there will be signs in the lobby indicating the days that talks will be held. The play runs from Thursday, Aug. 25 to Saturday, Aug. 27 at 7:30 p.m. and ends with a matinee on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets: Adults $20, children/students $10. The play, with book by Katherine Paterson and Stephanie S. Tolan and music by Steve Liebman, is pre-
sented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Call 613-283-0300 for credit card purchases, or go to our website at www. smithsfalls theatre.com. Cash only ticket sales are at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East in Smiths

Are you new to the neighbourhood? Had a baby? Planning a wedding?
Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energy-efficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Audiences laughed, they cried, they applauded the moving songs right up to the rousing finale of the show. “True to the story I remember so well from the movie,” “wonderful and worth the long drive to get here,” “adorable,” “magical’ – these were just some of the comments from patrons on leaving the theatre. Clearly, all the humour, warmth and emotional intensity of Katherine Paterson’s 1978 Newbery Award winning novel was captured in this powerful stage adaptation that continues at the Station Theatre until its final matinee on Sunday, Aug. 28. It’s mainly a young cast, and one cannot help but wonder which of these talented youngsters will emerge as a star at Stratford or in the cast of a Canadian Opera Company production. Think of this as a chance to say “I saw them on the stage in Smiths Falls – that was before they became famous.” Those who remember seeing the very young Brooke Henderson hitting drives on the range at Lombard Glen will get the point. The story is about a young boy, Jesse, who develops a friendship with new girl in town, Leslie, Together they create Terabithia, an imaginary kingdom where they can be “rulers” rather than “outsiders,” shielded from those who don’t understand them. Their friendship deepens as Jesse’s world expands.

Perth Military Settlement 200th Anniversary
Seasons change in Tay Valley but 200th Anniversary festivities and events march on The Labour Day Weekend is always a bitter sweet time. Summer makes its graceful exit to usher in the cool and colourful days of fall. The township’s 200th Anniversary summer celebrations are shifting gears too, welcoming in its autumn festivities and annual events over the coming months of 2016. First on the agenda is the annual Sundance Artisan Show held in the quaint hamlet of Maberly at the edge of Tay Valley and conveniently located at the corner of HWY 7 and the Maberly Elphin Road. The weekend will celebrate all that area artists have to offer during the last glorious days of summer and will run Saturday September 3rd and Sunday September 4th 10am to 5pm, and Monday September 5th 10am to 2pm. Admission is free. Visitors can stroll along the artists’ booths, enjoy local food and homegrown music or sit along the banks of the Fall River taking in the sereneness of rural Tay Valley. Heritage weaving, indica-
11am-4pm at Beckwith Park. This free public event showcases Lanark County food growers and is a great way to taste a bit of what Tay Valley has to offer. As the festival says, it’s a great way to “get fresh with a local farmer.” On September 15th The Perth and District Historical Society and local historian Susan Code will host an evening entitled Tay Valley Through Two Centuries. The event will feature stories of early Bathurst, North Burgess and South Sherbrooke
tive of the area’s 200 year old history, will also be highlighted this year with demonstrations on Saturday September 3rd from 10am to 2pm. Your taste buds will be enticed by hand crafted local farm to plate cuisine. Foods such as cured and smoked meats, local cheese, home baked breads, wine and micro brewed beer will be featured at this unique venue where sustainable concepts and a flare for good taste is a must. Fall River Restaurant will be serving some special menu items created for the show, made from scratch with locally sourced, and where possible, locally grown ingredients. And of course there is the music to enjoy. An abundance of award winning local musicians, including the Cratur Celtic Band, will be sure to inspire your rhythm and set the stage for fun and good times. Tay Valley along with its farm gate members, producers and food vendors will be taking part in Lanark County’s Harvest Festival September 11th
Townships’ histories and will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth Branch. If you are a history buff you will also want to attend their October 20th Town of Perth Evening and November 17th The Lives of the Settlers and First Nations historical information sessions held at the Perth Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Perth-born performer’s compelling role at Classic Theatre Festival In the Classic Theatre Festival production of J.B. Priestley’s mystery thriller An Inspector Calls, playing until Sept. 11 at 54 Beckwith Street East, Sean Jacklin gives a compelling performance as the troubled young man Eric Birling, who battles demons and drink as he, along with his family, all become suspects in the death of a young woman. This gripping story is a very different role from Jacklin’s comic appearance as an overweight telephone repairman battling six flights of stairs in the Neil Simon comedy, Barefoot in the Park, at last year’s festival. “I love playing Eric because I can identify with a lot of what he’s going through,” Jacklin says. “He’s suddenly becoming socially aware in a time that is completely controlled by the generations above him who don’t think anything like he does, for the most part. There’s a frustration there, a genuine desire to do good but a complete inability to do so faced with the stagnation and repression around him. It’s not all that different today.” Jacklin points out that the play, written in 1912, features a younger generation that will soon bear the wounds and scars of the First World War. He knows Eric is likely to “be part of the first wave of British soldiers sent into the machine gun fire two years later when war breaks out across Europe.” Local audience members who recognize the man playing Eric Birling
are not mistaken, as Jacklin has been a regular fixture on Perth stages for two decades, beginning with a role at the age of seven as Ricky, the son of the main character in The Seven Year Itch. “I got to run around the stage with one of those horses on a stick things, firing a cap gun and wearing a cowboy hat. I guess that pretty much sold the whole acting thing for me. I’d love to be able to do that on stage again someday, but somehow I don’t think it would be as cute as a 26-year-old.” Jacklin came by his profession honestly, as his parents, David and Janice Jacklin of BarnDoor Productions, have a lengthy history as the producers of more than 100 community theatre shows in Perth. Jacklin recalls a production of Hamlet his parents produced on the grounds of Perth Manor over a decade ago, “playing about four roles in total while also running around backstage opening trap doors and doing little technical things. I love the rush of playing one character and switching over to another. I played Johnny Frazier and Corky the Clown in Circus Gothic for our Sears Festival show in grade 12. That’s a pinnacle show for me; one of those shows where everything you’ve been learning and feeling over a set time culminates in something really special. “When I got to high school (PDCI), I had the great fortune of working with Carolee and Geoff Mason in their last
Jean-Denis Labelle/Classic Theatre Festival
Sean Jacklin plays the troubled Eric Burling in the gripping mystery thriller An Inspector Calls, on until Sept. 11 at the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth. four years at the school running the drama department and extra curriculars,” Jacklin says. “Suddenly theatre was this great bastion for relieving the stress of the classes I didn’t really give two shakes about. They also really instilled in me a drive and discipline that I’ve never forgotten. I then spent four years at the University of Guelph, a beautifully supportive community where I could live and learn with people living and learning the same things I was going through. I focused a lot on tech while at university, which came in handy when I found myself working for the Classic Theatre Festival in their second and third seasons. Earlier this year,
I finished my acting training at George Brown College, where I again found a group of wonderfully supportive peers to grow with. It’s the people you’re with that really stand out, because they become your support group when the institutions feel like they aren’t giving you what you need at that moment. You can turn to your friends and seek the motivation from them instead.” Jacklin feels especially supported by his fellow cast members in An Inspector Calls. “This group is incredibly open and caring and ready to jump in and make things happen. Eric has to go to some dark places, and I’ve always felt able to go there with this cast; nobody is giving the fresh, green theatre school grad the side eye wondering what the heck he’s doing, and that means the world to me.” Jacklin has had a busy summer in Perth, also directing the two historic walking plays that close this weekend, River of Memory and A Taste of Perth. In September, it’s back to Toronto with a focus on Canada’s 150th anniversary. He’s conceived The Re-Confederation Project, which will involve travelling the country with a group of fellow theatre creators “to as many cities, towns, hamlets, indigenous communities, and other places where humans live and ask them questions about their identity. Not ‘Where did your family come from?’ but specific questions like, ‘When you wake up what is the first thing you have do?”

or ‘What is something that makes you mad?’ or ‘What is something that makes you happy?’ I’m hoping through these questions we can gather a lot of material that the people of this country (or randomly assigned lines and borders) have created that will give us an idea of what day to day life is on the personal scale.” In the meantime, he’ll be part of the compelling crew performing one of the 20th century’s most talked about and produced mystery thrillers, one whose message continues to de debated by audiences and critics alike each time it’s produced. “Ultimately I think Priestley’s goal was to make at least half of the audience leave the theatre and give the cab driver or restaurant server an extra big tip at the end of the night to hopefully brighten their day a bit. Perhaps carry some groceries for someone who is having trouble. I think he wants us to make sure we’re always looking for small ways to make other people’s lives and experiences better. If we all do that then the collective human experience is raised to a better standard. The problem, though, is that everyone has to agree to do it all the time. It can’t be just one person here or there. It’s that do unto others thing.” Tickets to An Inspector Calls are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.
