New Kemptville Public School accepts first students on Sept. 5 BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
The brand-new Kemptville Public School (KPS) is officially open as of the first day of school on Tuesday, Sept. 5. The new elementary school encompasses more than 4,000 square metres and was designed as a showcase for the community. The construction began in 2016 with a project budget of $13.3 million provided by the Ontario Ministry of Education, and has opened four months ahead of schedule. The new facility features modern architecture, full accessibility, an open-concept foyer and classrooms, and a simple, practical layout. The schoolyard is spacious, with three play structures, a soccer field, two basketball courts and shade structures with picnic tables which can be utilized as outdoor learning environments. Principal Tracy Staples, vice-principal Chris Hannah and KPS staff are looking forward to introducing everyone to the new school as they kick-off the 2017 - 2018 school year. The Learning Commons is one of the many impressive features of the new KPS. It begins with a wheelchairaccessible stage, positioned in the centre of the foyer in front of the main

office and display case. Behind the stage is a variety of seating areas with modern-style tables and chairs, bean bags, and a large selection of fiction and non-fiction books and toys. A large skylight, directly above the Commons, lights up the entire area. The display case in the front foyer has a storage space underneath, where a time capsule will be placed during the Official Opening Ceremony. “The time capsule will be filled with memorabilia from past and current students and staff,” said Staples. “At the end of the 2016 - 2017 school year, each class placed items in the capsule that represented their memories of KPS at 215 Reuben Crescent. It’s a nice way to preserve memories to share with future generations when the capsule is opened again in 50 years.” Many classrooms feature an operable partition which can be opened to encourage collaboration among students. Large windows and a skylight in one of the kindergarten classrooms Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland allow for lots of natural lighting. “The teachers have invested many hours to creatively set-up the layout of the classroom furniture themselves,” Chris Drozda and Natalie Castellas waiting with their children, Cooper Staples said.

New funding provides the Table with opportunity to expand program offerings It is the time of year when nature is bountiful in its fruits, and thanks to funds from the Government of Canada, the produce shelves at the Good Food Bank in Perth will be more fullystocked and able to offer more fresh fruits and vegetables to community members. At The Table Community Food Centre we are excited to announce that thanks to new funding from the Government of Canada, we will be able to expand our programming and carry on with services previously funded by other programs. Through a Homelessness Partnering Strategy — Rural and Remote grant facilitated by the United Way of Greater Simcoe, the Table Community Food Centre has received just over $50,000 in funding to support three different program components up to March 2018. The first program change is a pilot project in the Good Food Bank (GFB). Grant funds will be used to increase the amount of fresh produce available and eliminate the cap on how much fresh food community members could take home. Instead, Good Food Bank participants will be encouraged to take what they can use. From the moment it started, the new “take what you can use” rule in the GFB at the Table has been a success. While a primary objective of the project is to increase the amount of fresh food available to low-income households, another important benefit of this 10-month pilot program is

A grant through the Homelessness Partnering Strategy - Rural and Remote of more than $50,000 will allow the Table Community Food Centre in Perth to offer more fresh fruit and vegetables to community members accessing its Good Food Bank. The funds will also help enhance the services of its Peer Advocacy Office and offer training for Lanark County and Smiths Falls residents. the dignity of choice in accessing an essential need. GFB manager Wendy Quarrington says she wishes she could film the reactions of community members as they begin to truly shop for what their household can use from the wellstocked produce rather than just what they are allowed to take. Thanks to
the grant funds, our ongoing generous community and corporate supporters, and to the generous donations from local farmers and gardeners in this season of bounty, there is a plethora of produce available through this pilot program. The second component of the grant will provide funds to enhance

the services of our Peer Advocacy Office. We will be able to continue offering a fourth day a week of support in the Peer Advocacy Office, offer transportation support to those who need to travel into Perth to access our services, and training opportunities to the advocacy team. The training will increase the advocates' effectiveness at serving the folks who come through the office seeking support with a variety of challenging situations, including accessing the energy cost rebate programs available to people living on low incomes. The Table will be able to open our fall 2017 Community Action Training to community members from across Lanark County/Smiths Falls because we can offer transportation assistance to community members to attend the trainings. Anyone looking for more information about the advocacy office can call 613-267-6428 ext. 29 or email advocacy@thetablecfc. org.

New pastor, new name for growing Franktown church Just three months after taking over as the new lead pastor at Harvest Community Church, Chad Monaghan is shaking things up in Franktown with a name change for his church. Harvest will now be known as Move Church, starting on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 10:30 a.m., capping off a seven-year journey that saw him go from hating religion to loving Jesus, from leading a church in Franktown to, just over a year ago, not even knowing how to find Franktown on a map. Early days Monaghan was born in Peterborough, and he has a sister, Kristy, who now lives in London, and has a child of her own. She works for the department that handles scholarship applications at the University of Western Ontario. His mother was a stay-at-home-mom, while his dad worked for Sysco Foodservices Inc. They will have been married 40 years this month. He attended Fleming College, where he graduated with a three-year diploma in computer security investigating. Afterwards, he worked at the local Sears department store outlet as a loss prevention manager for several years. He later transferred to a Sears store in Ottawa, a move that would change his life. It was at Sears that he met his wife Kate, in 2009, where she worked as a counter
manager at the cosmetics counter. (Kate is from the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, near Hawkesbury.) The two were married on Sept. 17, 2011, and they have a four-year-old daughter, Aria. (He now works for Ikea and the family lives in Kanata.) Born again Monaghan came to Christ on one of the most auspicious dates for Christians - Good Friday. It was 2010, and Monaghan freely admits now that he attended services that morning to please his wife, who was more open to Christianity than he was. “She knew. She would say she loved Jesus, but she knew very little of faith,” he said. That Friday morning, she “convinced me to go. I went to make her happy.” Growing up, his parents were not greatly religious, but felt that “they wanted us o have a background of faith.” They attended a mainline Protestant church but “it didn’t mean anything…(It was) not my favourite time. Not my favourite church.” Sitting in the pews, “there was a lot about God. He seemed far away and boring.” “I hated religion. I hated church,” he added. “I wanted nothing to do with God. I would say I was agnostic,” feeling, at that time, that “there was probably something,”
out there. He laughs when he looks back on that period of his life now. “If you grow up hating church…it makes you a perfect candidate to be a pastor!” he said with a smile. They walked into the Lifecentre church in Orleans, where Joseph Anderson was singing. “He had such a joy about him and a connection about what he was singing,” said Monaghan of the man who has since become a spiritual friend and guide. “It softened my heart. Made me pause.” Pastor Jason Boucher was leading the service, and it made his words also penetrate Monaghan. “It’s all about what Jesus did on your behalf,” said Monaghan. “I’ve never had this before. He (Jesus) was dying for my sins - I should probably take a moment to figure this out. By the end of the service…it just hit my heart.” Boucher asked those who had not given their life to Christ to put their hand up, to signal that they believed which Monaghan did. New faith, new direction Monaghan began studying the bible the very next day - he would need it in the coming years. He served as a youth pastor for two years at the Lifecentre, and organized small group See CHURCH page 4

studies. He also did a three-year diploma course through the Ottawa School of the Bible. “I felt the call to pastoral ministry, very soon after I came to faith,” said Monaghan. But in time, he began to realize that it was time for something else. He actively prayed for direction, and “I heard Him say, in prayer, ‘Go to Franktown.’ But we didn’t know where Franktown was! (We) couldn’t find it on a map.” But Franktown kept coming up. The couple had a Sunday morning off, so they decided to check out some new churches. They did a Google search, and came upon the Harvest Community Church, and, after looking over Harvest’s beliefs, found that they aligned with their beliefs. Just before they hit the car though, they realized, “we’ve got to figure out where this (church) is.” There, at the bottom of the page, was the church’s address at Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) - located, lo and behold, in Franktown. “We lost it!” said Monaghan, beaming. When they arrived in Beckwith Township, however, they
soon quickly realized that the church had a more modest attendance than their old church. While Lifecentre could see 700 people at one service, when they pulled into the CCA’s parking lot just over a year ago, there were a grand total of seven vehicles in the parking lot. He spoke to Harvest’s thenpastor, Scott Ridenour. The American missionary had founded the church in Carleton Place, arriving in 2011 with his family from the American South. He emailed Ridenour after attending that first service - and Ridenour emailed Boucher “to make sure we were not crazy.” At the same time as Monaghan said he was feeling the call to Franktown, Ridenour said he was being called away elsewhere. “Our stories just aligned,” he said. In the coming months, Ridenour took up a position with a new church, Fellowship Pickering, east of Toronto, this past June, while Monaghan was unanimously approved by the church membership as the new pastor of the church. Now that he was in charge of the church he recognized something - that the Harvest name was fairly common. In fact, oth-

Pastor Chad Monaghan prays before the start of the last service of the Harvest Community Church in the gym of Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown, Beckwith Township, on Sunday, Sept. 3. The church will re-launch next Sunday, Sept. 10, as the Move Church. er churches in eastern Ontario had the same name, and it was confusing for people who came to visit, looking for a home church, who left confused, or turned off, expecting one thing, and finding another. So, Monaghan began to seek a new name for the church - and the writing was on the wall,
literally. On the couple’s bedroom wall, they had tacked up pages with different names, and they kept being drawn to one name in particular - Move Church. “It just felt like He gave it to us,” said Monaghan. The church was founded in 2012 as the InSpire Church, and later changed its name to Harvest. Now, it will officially change its name to Move Church during the weekly 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday, Sept. 10, at CCA. And he promises that “this is it,” that there are no more name changes planned. He is polling his membership about what new international charities and/or missions they would like to support, as well as what local endeavors they can support. The church, for example, has taken part in Love Carleton Place, visiting senior citizens in a home, as well as taking part in the Santa Claus Parade in the past. One of the church’s most well known annual events has been the Easter egg hunt at Riverside Park. Monaghan said he would like to see the egg hunt continue, though it might not “exactly” look the same as it has in the past. Though he has only been called to Christ these past seven years, his faith journey has

Rural Schools of Montague book launches Sept. 10 at Lanark County Harvest Festival After years of work by many volunteers of Archives Lanark, Rural Schools of Montague is finally published. The book launch will be at the Lanark County Harvest Festival on Sunday, Sept. 10 at the Beckwith Recreation Complex on 9th Line. Since Montague is the featured township this year, Archives Lanark will have a sales table as part of its display in the Coverall. As in the previous eight books in the series, the hardcover book sells for $45 (no tax) and only 150 books have been published. The previous books only covered the one-room schools until the amalgamations took place in the late 1960s. A few months ago, though, it was decided to include the Harper Condie and Montague Central schools since they were opened long before the newest school was built and still served the rural area. The latest photo of students used was in 1980 but there are still many unidentified students, which someone will be able to name. In addition, Archives Lanark has been given the copyright to Doorways of the Past, the comprehensive history of North Elmsley published last year by four authors, so it is being reprinted and will soon be available too. Exciting times for the archives as the volunteers have been quite busy serving people visiting from all over North America. It's truly rewarding to see the joy on their faces when original documents bearing their ancestors’ names are found. The archives is open every Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Thanksgiving weekend when we revert to winter hours

Amateur astronomer Frank Hitchens to speak at local Science Literacy Week events In his 1996 book, The DemonHaunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, the late Dr. Carl Sagan stated, in part, the following: “We have created a global civilization in which most crucial elements — transportation, communication, and all other industries profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” Sept. 18 to Sept. 24 is Science Literacy Week in Canada. All across the nation, museums, schools, libraries and other venues will be hosting a variety of events with a view to engaging the public in the wonder and thrill of scientific discovery. During Science Literacy Week, local amateur astronomer Frank Hitchens will be giving talks at several libraries in the region on various aspects of astronomy and space exploration.

CDSBEO director of education announces retirement William J. Gartland, director of education for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), has announced his retirement from the board. He will leave the board starting in January 2018. Gartland has served as teacher and administrator in Catholic education for the past 32 years. He has held the position of CDSBEO director of education for the past 11 years, and previously held the position of superintendent of human resources with the board prior to becoming director. During his distinguished career, Gartland has also held positions as principal, viceprincipal and teacher with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, where he also served as assistant to the director and manager of corporate affairs. As director of education, Gartland has overseen many initiatives within the CDSBEO, including the development of several notable mental health initiatives, for which the board was recognized by the Mood Disorders Society of Canada with two awards.

William J. Gartland, the director of education for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, has announced his retirement. He will leave his post at the board in January 2018. He has made tremendous contributions to improved student achievement, and strengthened and expanded community outreach through the development of new partnerships and co-ordinated re-
sponse initiatives. Over the 11 years, he has been director of education, Gartland has served on many provincial committees including his role as vice-chair of the English Catholic Committee of Directors of Education. In addition, he has been an active member as the executive of the Committee of Directors of Education and has served on provincial negotiation teams on behalf of the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association. He has also been a mentor to new Catholic Directors of Education, and has been involved in the community through various swimming and alpine skiing youth competitions. Gartland has also served two consecutive years as the cochair for the Canadian Educators Conference on Mental Health. “I have enjoyed my vocation as an educator during these past 32 years,” noted Gartland. “Of course, it is difficult to leave, and I will miss the people from all parts of our board. We are a great Catholic community and I leave
with a spirit of appreciation for all the blessings I have been given over the years. It has been a tremendously rewarding career.” CDSBEO chair Todd Lalonde noted that Gartland has guided the board with a great vision for positive growth that has resonated throughout CDSBEO schools. “We are most grateful to Bill for having accepted the challenge as director some 11 years ago,” he said. “Under his guidance, the CDSBEO has continued to excel as one of the most highly regarded Catholic boards in the province. We wish him a long and healthy retirement. The board will miss his leadership.” The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

COMMENTARY
More attention needed
T
he Ontario Provincial Police commissioner appeared to sum up the situation well in a recent release when he stated that distracted drivers take a tremendous toll on public safety. Stats show that distraction was cited as the primary cause in 6,360 collisions investigated by the OPP since Jan. 1; speed was listed as the main cause in 4,700 crashes, followed by alcohol or drugs at 1,158. Distracted driving was the focus of the Labour Day weekend traffic initiative. The problem is not restricted to people who talk on their cell phones or send text messages; distracted driving can be anything from fumbling around to find a CD to trying to take a sip of that double double or finish that breakfast sandwich. Although drivers are responsible for their actions, passengers have a role to play in addressing the unsafe behaviour. "By ignoring the problem, you are contributing to the problem," an OPP release states. "As a passenger, speak up and voice your
concerns about your safety when travelling with a distracted driver." The fact that it is back to school time provides an opportunity for provincial and municipal police services to challenge public complacency and remind motorists that there has never been a greater need to pay more attention to the road. Those of us who are quick to call out other drivers for using their cell phones but aren't adverse to looking down to see who just called or texted should practice what we preach and keep that device out of sight or pull over to a safe location if we really need to know who it was. We need to set a better example to the young drivers and not just assume that they are the only ones to whom the distracted driving message applies. As OPP Commissioner Hawkes noted, this year's collision data are compelling; inattentive driving causes more crashes than speeding and impaired driving combined. We can do something about it.

etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought. That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies. For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I

was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would be allowed to wear them only for the first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on! It was a Saturday. A week before school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me. The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school. There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled
it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first. And not boy’s shoes.” Mostly, my shoes came in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina

might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy...as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering. See MARY page 9

United Way to host inaugural Mix & Mingle event in Smiths Falls Sept. 21 United Way Lanark County is pleased to announce its partnership with Tweed Inc. in hosting the inaugural Mix & Mingle Fall Social in Smiths Falls. The networking event, held on Thursday, Sept. 21, will take place in Tweed’s lobby at 1 Hershey Drive between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. Mix & Mingles bring together young business professionals, entrepreneurs and Lanark County’s best and brightest. This event gives Lanark County and Smiths Falls attendees a chance to get to know Tweed and its employees, network with other young professionals, and how to get involved with their community. The featured speaker for the evening is Jeff Kohl, Executive Director of YAK Youth Services, a United Way partner. YAK Youth Services provides opportunities, support, resources, information, training and encouragement to youth in Perth and the surrounding areas. In addition, youth will share their personal expe-

Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time. “Mary, I know you’d like new shoes, but by the time we get the books the five of you need for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away. I never mentioned new

a fundraising perspective, we appear to be doing well. As the months have gone by, however, I have realized my idea of “success” has changed. Yes, it still takes money. But it is so much more than that. Will more people with Parkinson’s come forward to join support and exercise programs and start to believe that they will have more control over their future health? I have heard far too many stories of people, (predominately
riences on using YAK programming. Mix & Mingle attendees will learn about the importance of this program in our community and other innovative opportunities to prevent and reduce youth homelessness in Lanark County. “At Tweed, we believe strongly in supporting our community and allowing young people in our community to get to know Tweed and our desire to drive change in an innovative industry,” commented Jordan Sinclair, director of communications with Tweed. “Hosting this Mix & Mingle event gives us an opportunity to engage with the community to understand the real issues facing youth in Lanark County and Smiths Falls, and how we can all work together to find solutions.” “Tweed has been a strong partner over the last few years, starting with holding their first Day of Caring in May 2015, and have since held another four this spring and summer, where their employees vol-
unteered to assist our partners on multiple projects,” said Fraser Scantlebury, regional director of United Way Lanark County. “We are beyond grateful to work with the amazing staff and leadership of Tweed who see the value of investing in their community, and would like to thank them for sponsoring and hosting our very first Mix & Mingle event.” “We want to empower our young people to collaborate and drive change,” continued Scantlebury. “These types of events and initiatives, allow young people to learn about the needs in their community, volunteer their time, and put their dollars to work where they will have the greatest impact,” he went on to add. The event is catered by Perth’s very own Stone Cellar restaurant, home of chef Nick Valliquette, Chopped Canada champion. Appetizers will be included with admission, and refreshments will be available for purchase. Attendees must be 19 years of age or older.
shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the
brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing. My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning. I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

men) who, I believe, are depressed (a result of changing brain chemistry due to PD). They may see a doctor, and even take Parkinson’s medication but they have basically given up, believing that there is little they can do that will make a difference. I want to get the message out that they can continue to live healthy and active lives. But I hesitate because I know that we do not have enough support and exercise programs that are appropriate and helpful for them. And finally, can we
get access to a specialist in or near our own communities without having to travel great distances to get the help we need? Right now, in Canada, 25 people a day are being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Within 15 years, that number will double to 50. Are we ready? The “success” of the SuperWalk will help determine that. Hope you will be part of that conversation. Pat Evans Portland

Enjoy Spielberg science fiction classic on big screen OPEN HOUSE Weekend MOVIE: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (40th Anniversary) STARRING: Richard Dreyfuss, François Truffaut, Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon DIRECTOR: Steven Spielberg RATING: PG These last two weeks at the movies have been pretty quiet. I'd say if you're planning on going to the movies go see Wonder Woman again. On the other hand if you're looking for something special might I recommend Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It's the 40th anniversary, and if you haven't see it in a while, or haven't had the chance to see it on the big screen, or haven't seen it at all you're in for a treat. All over the world there have been mysterious happenings. Long missing planes appearing in the Sonoran Desert. A missing tanker ship is found in the Gobi Desert. In India they chant a tune they heard coming from the sky. UFO's are being sighted all over, and at each scene Claude Lacombe (Francois Truffant) is there trying to put the pieces together. In Muncie, Indiana Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) has his own encounter. During a blackout affecting

his whole town he sees things he can't explain, and it changes him forever. He becomes obsessed with trying to make sense of it. He loses his job, and his wife Ronnie (Teri Garr) takes their kids and leaves him. Just outside Munice Jillian (Melinda Dillon) has her own encounter. UFOs attempt to get into her home trying to take her son Barry (Cary Guffey). She desperately tries to keep him safe, but Barry crawls out the doggie door and is taken. Both Roy and Jillian have visions of a place. It almost drives Roy mad until he discovers his vision is of Devil's Peak. He goes there, drawn to it, as does Jillian. Lacombe and the military are already there preparing for something. Together Roy and Jillian are determined to be there for what happens next.
When it was first released in 1977 Close Encounters was ground breaking. Forty years later and it's still just as moving, just as powerful, and just as mesmerizing. It's a showcase for Spielberg as a storyteller. His ability to craft the perfect visual for each shot. The way he tells Lacombe's story and how events effect to world. The way he makes it personal with Roy's struggle to understand, and how he beautifully brings both together. Spielberg also allows his cast to do what they do best. These are some of the most honest and real performances in film. You can't help but empathize with the frustration, pain and anguish of Garr's character. When Barry is taken Melinda Dillon's performance breaks your heart. Francois Truffaut gives Lacombe not only his intelligence, but also his sensitivity and sense of wonder. Then there's Richard Dreyfuss. He's our everyman. He's the one who makes this story real, and Dreyfuss is brilliant. I remember watching Close Encounters when I was a kid in the family recroom and loving it. Getting to see it on the big screen was a real treat. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Volunteer hospice visitors needed in Lanark County Volunteer Hospice Visitors are needed in Perth, Lanark, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and surrounding areas to support people living with a life-limiting illness through to end-oflife care. Volunteers provide confidential and non-judgmental support, often in the form of a weekly visit up to four hours in length. If you are a sensitive and caring person with some time to spare, come out and join a compassionate team of volunteers! Testimonials Julie says, “As a hospice volunteer I have been honoured to share the most intimate experiences of dying that have humbly altered how I interact with others and the world around me. Yes, indeed there is heartache when you feel the loss after accompanying someone through their final days of life but it can never surpass the joys and the gifts that endure long after.”
Volunteer hospice visitors with Community Home Support - Lanark County are currently needed in the areas of Perth, Lanark, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls to support those living with life-limiting illnesses and end-of-life care. File photo
Kathy says, “Why I became a volunteer is because I lived too far from my mom to go visit her when she could have used a visit. I got to thinking maybe someone could use a visit with a family that is too far away to visit them. I still volunteer and look forward to the days I visit someone, whether it is so their caregiver can get out for a few minutes or because
they live alone and just need to know someone is going to visit or call. I could not buy the joy it gives me playing cards with someone or sitting at a bedside of someone sick. It makes me realize I have made this world a better place for someone today even for just a few moments.” Trish says, “As a volunteer, I've enjoyed wonderful visits and conversa-
tions with clients. Sometimes chitchat is the order of the day - a distraction from their disease. Being there as a non-family member has also lead to the sharing of worries and concerns. It is an honour to be there in those times for the client. It hurts to say goodbye. I've come to care deeply about those folks I've visited, but I know I've made a difference, albeit
sometimes a small one, during a difficult time. That's good enough for me.” Shirley says, “The volunteering is very rewarding, meeting great people in need of support and loving kindness.” Donna adds, "You could be a critical link between comfort and sanity. You could be the difference between feelings of rejection or belonging. You could be the one who keeps the glue from dissolving. And it's all because you are there. How could you not offer your time and your smile? Do it. You won't be sorry you did." One of the benefits of being a Hospice Volunteer is free Hospice Palliative Care Training. There is an online training program that can be accessed immediately. Another training option is The Core Fundamentals of Hospice Palliative Care training course. If you are interested, please contact Rebecca Bowie at 613-267-6400 or rebeccab@chslc.ca.

I have long been an advocate of teaching more Canadian history in our schools, especially with relation to our country’s important role in two world wars. I have deplored the fact that, at the secondary school level, history has become an optional subject in so many jurisdictions. It means many of our young people learn very little about the important history of their own country. I’m not sure who coined the term? But whoever first asked “if you don’t know where you’ve come from, how can you know where you’re going” said a mouthful in my opinion! We live in an era of political correctness, something I find annoying on occasion. But I have come to accept it as a fact of life in the 21st Century. However, another issue that is raising its head far too often in my opinion is “revisionist history.” There are some among us who feel the most distasteful parts of history, in Canada and around the world, should be altered or even removed entirely. History is recorded and available to us so that we can learn from the accomplishments of the past and, hopefully, not repeat the mistakes (some of which are considerable) that have occurred throughout world history. By revising history it is possible to distort the true record and make certain events appear more or less favourable, or worse perhaps, cast them in a particularly bad light. A recent proposal in Ontario has elements of both political correctness and revisionist history tied to it. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario is proposing that the name of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, should be stripped from several elementary schools which are currently named after one of the nation’s founding fathers. Macdonald was arguably the most prominent person connected to Canadian Confederation and his political career spanned nearly half a century. At its recent conference the elementary teachers’ federation passed a motion which says a school renaming process should be considered “in recognition of his (Macdonald’s) central role as the architect of genocide against Indigenous people.” There’s no question that the Scotland-born Macdonald held views on Canada’s Indigenous population that are downright disgusting by today’s standards. He called Indigenous people “savages.” Macdonald had no more respect for the Chinese who he wanted out of Canada because he said they took white jobs and would create a “mongrel race” in British Columbia and threaten the “Aryan” character of the nation. It is also undeniable that our first PM is among those responsible for the Indian Act and the truly deplor-

able residential school system which is currently a huge topic in this country. There are other skeletons in his closet too. Pivotal role But there’s no question it was Macdonald who played the pivotal role in the making of our country. He engineered a series of compromises which brought together the former colonies of Canada. Without his political skill it is arguable that there would be no Canada. Macdonald also played a major role in the planning of the Canadian Pacific Railway which brought western Canada into the national fold. If it weren’t for the railway, which effectively linked east and west, it is likely the Prairie provinces and British Columbia would have become part of the United States. I could go on and on with his accomplishments because they are many. However I want to offer my opinion on the school renaming proposal. I think it is completely wrongheaded and for all of the reasons I have outlined above. Macdonald’s name, his accomplishments and his significant mistakes are important, if sometimes unpalatable, chapters in Canadian history. We need to teach that history, along with so much more from Canada’s past so we learn from it. Hiding inconvenient truths is not the way to educate ourselves or our children. There have been many points made by columnists and political commentators in the wake of the teachers’ union proposal relative to Macdonald. Chief among them is this. If we are going to remove the name of our first Prime Minister from schools (there are nine named specifically for him in Ontario) then
where do we stop? Macdonald certainly isn’t the only leading figure in Canadian or world history with skeletons in their closet. I read an excellent, related piece in the Ottawa Citizen outlining what, by today’s standards in particular, are the questionable attitudes and the clearly documented misdeeds of a long list of Canadian and international figures. Among them are Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill, explorers Samuel de Champlain and Jacques Cartier, Mohawk chief Joseph Brant and Métis leader Louis Reil who, by the way, is related to me on my father’s side. The writer’s list also contained several past Canadian politicians including Prime Minister’s Sir Wilfred Laurier, Lester Pearson and John Diefenbaker. Not even the ‘Famous Five’ escape scrutiny for what the writer notes were questionable points of view. All of the above have buildings, bridges, lakes, rivers and even airports named after them. Their statues are prominent in Ottawa and other Canadian communities. Making comparisons is always a bit of a minefield of course. But to me the point is that judging people from past centuries by today’s standards is often complete folly. Prominent politicians past and present, including Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and former Conservative cabinet minister John Baird, were quick to say they believe Macdonald’s name should not be removed from schools or any other places. Next week I intend to examine a similar situation which is currently playing itself out south of the border. In closing I will revisit my main point. History is an important part of our past, something that should be taught to present and future generations so that we can all learn from it. Rewriting history or worse yet altering it to meet current standards is simply unacceptable!

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SUCH A GIFT. THROUGH THEIR FAMILY FOUNDATION, DAVE AND ANN TRICK ARE BRINGING SOME MAGIC TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT CHEO. Dave and Ann Trick are so proud of their nine grandchildren. Over the years, many of the Trick’s grandchildren have visited CHEO for everything from broken bones to tests and treatment for various health issues. Dave and Ann are grateful that today, they all are healthy! But that wasn’t always the case.
GRANDPARENTS DAY IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017. A gift to CHEO’s Grandparents Program, either as a grandparent or to honour special grandparents, will transform your gratitude into specialized care for all families who need CHEO.
In 2011, their youngest granddaughter Emily suffered a stroke in-utero. She spent two weeks in CHEO’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to their interventions, and continued care through CHEO
and OCTC, Emily is thriving. For the Trick family, supporting CHEO was an easy choice. Dave and Ann established their foundation with one clear goal in mind: “We wanted to inspire philanthropy within our own family,” Dave explains.
“We are delighted to help provide an excellence in care that all grandchildren deserve,” says Ann.

Dust has yet to settle as new season rolls into Perth's Full Circle Theatre The dust hasn’t yet settled from last season at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, but the new one is already rolling. It’s BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) 23rd season — and their seventh at Full Circle Theatre — and it will offer variety, fun and drama. Already in rehearsal is BarnDoor’s season opening comedy. A Perfect Likeness is based on a “what if” that might have been. It’s known that Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice In Wonderland) once obtained Charles Dickens’ home address from Dickens’ publisher. Playwright Daniel Rover Singer has put together a speculation of what might have happened had those two diametrically opposed personalities come together. It features David Bird, one of BarnDoor’s stalwart performers from their very first production; and Connor Submitted photo Williamson, a young man who has been part of a number of BDP shows already and has also performed with the BarnDoor Productions’ 22nd season ranged from classics like Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol (seen above) to the latest Classic Theatre Festival for two seasons. from Broadway to all-original shows. Their 23rd season aims to kick it up a notch or two with fun, laughs and drama. With the idea that Dodgson invites Dickens to his home to sit for a photograph (Dodgson was an avid shutterbug), Singer has created “a perfect likeness” of these two literary giants that is comic, surprising, intense and very entertaining. The show runs from Oct. 13 to Oct. 22. Coming back to Sept. 11, BarnDoor is holding open auditions for two shows at once: their December offering is a fairy story, Cinderella, while their February 2018 show will be a backstage murder-mystery comedy called Panto Can Be Murder. Why are these two shows being auditioned together? with every used vehicle purchase!* Because each shows the flip side of the other. Cinderella is straightforward (but all-original) English panto-style children’s entertainment — with one or two surprises and a lot of laughter.

Texting and driving is an ever-increasing problem among young drivers BY CHRISTINE PEETS
This is another in a series of articles by Christine Peets, the writer in residence for the Upper Canada District School Board Parent Involvement Committee. According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Ontario has some of the stiffest penalties in Canada for drivers who choose to use their hand-held cellphones or other mobile devices or engage in other activity that distracts them while driving. And yet, texting and driving is an increasing problem. Are the tough penalties a deterrent? Dr. Christine Wickens, an inhouse expert on distracted driving at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) doesn't seem to think so. An article published on the CAMH website states: "Dr. Wickens believes that despite all the public education about the dangers of distracted driving, and the recent introduction of stricter new laws, many Ontarians are still not getting the message." The article quotes Wickens: “When we talk about the history of drinking and driving, decades ago that was still considered socially acceptable to a point. There certainly wasn’t the same kind of social disapproval there is today. But has that translated yet to texting and driving? No I don’t think so. One group we really worry about are younger drivers who report much higher use of cell-
phones for texting purposes and social media. Certainly among younger drivers, we’re not getting to that level of social disapproval for this kind of behaviour.” Carleton Place resident Johanna Button has a different take on the social disapproval of texting and driving among young drivers. She frequently drives from Carleton Place to Ottawa, where she attends Carleton University. She said that among her friends, no one uses their phone while they are driving, and they all watch out for each other to not be texting behind the wheel. "I think there is more awareness about this among my friends, and if your friends heard that you got a $300 fine for texting and driving, they'd pay attention," Button said. "We also notice the bumper stickers that people have on their cars to Stop Texting, and if more people see those, then they are going to pay attention to that." Texting and driving, or other forms of distracted driving, which include reading from a screen, watching a video, eating or drinking, personal grooming, adjusting music selections or having music playing too loudly, or turning to talk to someone in the back seat, are all subject to fines, demerit points, licence suspensions, and possible jail terms, depending on the conviction. Yet, drivers are constantly exhibiting these risky behaviours. Novice drivers who are still under the Graduated Licensing
System are subject to escalating sanctions that could lead to them being removed from that system, meaning that they will not become fully licensed drivers. Cst. Greg Streng, a Community Service Officer (CSO) with Lanark County OPP welcomes the chance to discuss these issues with the public. "CSOs are often invited into schools or community centres to present this information about distracted driving, especially texting and driving, and welcome opportunities to engage with the public," Streng said. In the past five years, there have been a number of assemblies at high schools in the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). In March 2012 students at North Dundas District High School were given orange thumb rings that said "Texting kills" after signing pledge strips not to text and drive. The strips were formed into a "chain of life" that was hung in the school cafeteria. There were also presentations done by Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving (OSAID). Distracted driving is considered by many to be as dangerous, if not more dangerous than driving while impaired under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A similar talk was given in April 2012 at Athens District High School by Constable Luc Poirier, an Accident Reconstruction specialist with the OPP. He explained the process used to determine causes of accidents, and he focused on the dangers of texting
and driving. At the time Poirier was also the parent of an OSAID member, which made the presentation a little more relevant for the students. Button remembers some of those presentations being done at her high school, but said that she thinks more teens and young adults pay more attention to Twitter, so messages on social media are more likely to have an impact. "If kids see those messages on Twitter, they may pay attention, and share them, so that more people get the message about how dangerous it is to text and drive," she said. "But it still goes on, although there are some new messages coming out on Snapchat, because so many people are snapping and driving. So there is a Snapchat app that has a way of knowing how fast you are going, but it can't tell whether you are the passenger or driver. Still, you get a message that says, ‘Don't Snap and Drive.’" Johanna's father Ross thinks that it is very progressive for a media site to take on that social responsibility. He also thinks that parents have to take responsibility and be good role models for their kids when it comes to distracted driving. "How are parents using their phones?" he asked. "Are they putting away the phone when they're driving? Are they sending messages to their kids when they know the kids might be driving? If you know someone is driving, then
don't send that text. We all need to be good citizens about this." Parents could also watch one of the many videos about texting and driving like this one, http://tinyurl. com/y8peaw3j, and then talk to their kids. Johanna said that everyone just needs to ignore their phone when they are driving. Better still, she suggested, turn off the ringer so you don't even hear it. Then you won't be tempted to answer right away. "Whether it's drinking and driving, or texting and driving, it's all dangerous driving," Ross said. "We all have a responsibility to make sure we are paying attention to our driving." "Yeah, you don't want to have an accident over a stupid text," Johanna added.

Horejda commands Classic Theatre stage in gripping mystery thriller A performer with frequent film and television appearances on shows such as The Handmaid’s Tale, Nikita, Beauty and the Beast, and The Fourth Plague has been commanding the Classic Theatre Festival stage as a woman fighting for her very survival in the mystery thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, which plays until Sept. 10 at 54 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. Born and raised in Saskatchewan – “they call it the land of living skies for good reason and believe me, it more than lives up to its name,” she says – Lauren Horejda plays the role of Jan, a woman who, recovering from a nervous breakdown, has been brought to a spooky old country farmhouse by her sometimes less than sensitive husband, Greg (Lindsay Robinson). What follows is much like a Hitchcock film, a combination of humour and horror in which the esteemed Capital Critics Circle says Horejda “delivers a fine multi-faceted characterization that balances fragility and determination.” Horejda recalls her first performance was as an angel in a Christmas pageant, and while she cannot say exactly what drew her to acting, “I can say it always felt right where I was supposed to be.” After completing an honours undergraduate degree, she studied at some of the
Lauren Horejda’s character Jan ponders her next move as she struggles to survive in the critically acclaimed Classic Theatre Festival production of I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, which plays in Perth until Sept. 10 at 54 Beckwith St. E.

world’s leading theatrical training academies, including the UK’s Bristol Old Vic and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Among some of her favourite roles along the way have been playing Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler (Horejda is a major Ibsen fan) and Mercutio
in The Deliverance of Romeo and Juliet. She’s also picked up best acting nominations two years in a row from My Entertainment World for her performances in Hamlet and The Changeling. Playing Jan in I’ll Be Back before Midnight is a demanding role, as she
is onstage for almost the whole show in an experience that many audience members describe as akin to a rollercoaster ride, providing thrills followed by anticipation and constant building of tension. Horejda says the role actually requires “decompression over preparation once the lights
are dark and the audience has gone home. Jan is such a vessel of love and hope within the play. She wants nothing but the best and to take care of those she cares about, but she is put through so much within the play. So, it's mostly checking in with myself and shedding the after-effects of Jan and everything that she has to go through that needs the most attention – shaking it off.” Horejda is fond of Jan’s “unshakable faith in those that she loves. It's incredibly admirable, especially living in a world where people write each other off so frequently over so little.” The Toronto-based actor says she’s loved her time in Perth this summer. “It’s been a beautiful place to come and relax and work on this fabulous play with a lovely and warm cast, a brilliant production team, and a wonderfully talented, thoughtful and insightful director. It's been such fantastic experience for me to ride this ride with these beautiful souls.” Those wishing to catch the final performances of I’ll Be Back before Midnight (playing Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesday and Saturday at 8 p.m.) can get tickets at 1-877-283-1283 or classictheatre.ca.

OPP reveal overwhelming response to Nation River Lady social media campaign In early August the OPP launched a successful social media campaign in an effort to reinvigorate a homicide investigation that has been ongoing since 1975. The remains of a female, which came to be known as Nation River Lady, were discovered in the Nation River by a local farmer, south of the Town of Casselman on May 3, 1975. OPP investigators wanted to reintroduce this case to the public in an effort to identify her and identify the person(s) responsible for her death. Since the media launch on the morning of Aug. 1, the OPP has received and is following up on more than 18 new tips so far from the public. The total number of impressions or times the content was displayed on Facebook in English was 28,016 and French was 65,374. Videos posted to the OPP's Facebook account in both languages received a total of 21,098 views. Twitter was equally successful with the
content being viewed in English 32,048 times and French 7,274. As well, many news agencies broadcasted the information. With advances in technology and the OPP forensic artist, the social media campaign contained numerous photographs of the items located on or with the Nation River Lady at the time of discovery and released a video of the three-dimensional clay facial reconstruction of Nation River Lady's head and face. Under the direction of case manager Det. Insp. Dan Nadeau, of the Criminal Investigation Branch and Missing Persons and Unidentified Bodies Unit (MPUB), police continue to followup on all information provided and thank everyone who has called or provided information via email. Anyone with new information on the case can call the dedicated missing persons hotline toll-free at 1-877-9346363 (1-877-9-FINDME) in Canada only; or 1-705-330-

Background Nation River Lady is described as being a Caucasian woman, age 25-50 years old, between five-foot-two and five-foot-eight in height, average build, approximately 100 pounds with brown hair that was dyed a reddish blond. Her body was wrapped with two pieces of green cloth, two towels — one depicting 4144 from outside Canada. You can also submit information by email at opp.isb.resolve@opp.ca.
September starting to heat up at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls Whew! Fort Hemlock is over; it was quite a show – a world premiere to boot! The few days downtime this last week saw everyone at The Station Theatre catch their breath…and now it’s on to the October Who Dunit? comedy-mystery directed by Katharine Coleman. This story first ran in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, and later was a hit on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It asks the question – what happens when a famous mystery writer is murdered, goes to heaven and discovers that not even St. Michael knows who murdered him? There’s only one answer: Saint Michael sends him back to earth to relive the past twenty-four hours of his life
in order to solve the murder before it is committed. Unfortunately for him, the writer discovers everybody he knows has a good reason to kill him! The plot thickens as he asks himself if he’s just going to let it happen a second time? Or will he take on both the murderer and the Archangel Michael… Who Dunit? runs Oct. 1322. Tickets go on sale Sept. 5. In mid-September, movie nights return with a one-two John Wayne Western weekend of classics. On Sept. 15, watch The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and Sept. 16, True Grit. Shows start at 7 p.m. Even if you’ve seen them, it’s time to see them again. Less than two weeks later, Sept. 28, come back to the
theatre for a romantic-comedy Their Finest, a Film Night International movie at 7 p.m. And at the end of the month, sit down for an evening of music by Georgette Fry and her back-up band, the next performance in the Station’s Music Series. Tickets are on sale now. Tickets are available at Special Greetings, smithsfallstheatre.com (PayPal/Visa/ MasterCard), by phone at 613-283-0300 (Visa/MasterCard), at the door, if available, a half-hour before performance (cash only). Find the theatre at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls. Hours for the Station Theatre are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre

The Tomorrow Box: An uplifting and illuminating family comedy-drama Where do you go when your beloved farm and matrimonial home of 40 years is sold out from under you and without your consent? This is one of many intriguing questions under consideration in The Tomorrow Box, a humorous and heartfelt look at the nature of family and the individual, by award-winning Canadian playwright Anne Chislett. Carolee Mason, director of Studio Theatre Perth’s upcoming play, invites theatre-goers to discover what happens when the history and traditions ingrained in the very fibre of a family property are threatened by changing hands, changing times and changing values. Many Perth area residents will relate to the issue as it pertains to a family cottage. In The Tomorrow Box, set in 197980, the property in question is a farm that has been passed down through generations of the Cooper family for over 100 years. The play tells the poignant and humorous story of a farmer’s wife as she discovers her true value. It touches on themes of feminism, the rural urban divide and the search for self-worth. Jack (Rob Glas) and Mau-

Maureen Cooper (C.Lee Bates) shows off the treasures she has discovered in a farm auction “Tomorrow Box”. Her city-raised daughter-in-law Alice, right (Courtney Mason) and Alice’s sister Lisa, left (Tracy Noonan) are unimpressed. The Tomorrow Box is an upcoming Studio Theatre production that will premiere Sept. 28. reen Cooper (C. Lee Bates), now in their sixties, are the current owners and stewards of the farm. Their eldest son, Joe (Mitch Waugh), has given up his career as a university professor to return to his roots in rural Ontario and carry on in the family tradition. He has recently married city gal, Alice (Courtney Mason), who is about to become a lawyer and is also following in family footsteps — those of her lawyer mother and older sister, Lisa
(Tracy Noonan). Radical feminist lawyer Lisa’s visit to Joe and Alice’s temporary quarters in a trailer — while they await possession of Jack and Maureen’s farm — upsets the apple cart when the sisters discover that Maureen is the only member of the family unaware of the sale of her home to Joe and Alice. Herein lies the dramatic tension of this compelling, thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging play that ex-
amines traditions, gender roles and the larger narrative of family members under siege as each struggles with the part they play in a deeply moving, authentic — and frequently humorous — family conflict. Jack believes he has made the right plan, to retire and surprise his wife with a new opportunity for them to enjoy in their “old age.” After all, she’s trusted him with the decisions for 40 years. What Jack hasn’t counted on is the heartbreaking and iron-
ic revelations of a woman he thinks he knows who, like so many others of the time, settled into gender roles that are no longer viable in the modern world. Jack’s miscalculation backfires, threatening his place in the world — as the head of a household, a community member, a farmer and as a man. For Maureen, her whole way of life is in danger of disintegrating. Joe is torn between allegiance to both parents and to his new wife who is stunned and angered by the turn of events. Alice shares her angst with Lisa, as she struggles with her own conflict about this man she thought she knew and knows she loves. “I thought I was marrying a professor of agriculture,” she laments, “not a farmer.” For her part, Lisa’s interest is in the feminist angle and legalities, wanting to ensure that Maureen doesn’t get “victimized.” Carolee Mason hopes that the complexity of the conflict is both unsettling and engaging for the audience. “If people leave the theatre talking about the play and having their assumptions altered by what they’ve seen and heard, I will be gratified. For Perth and

STEPHEN KEITH GORDON MAXWELL June 20, 1955 - August 26, 2017 Stephen was born in Montreal, Canada first born child of Beverley and Shirley Maxwell. Stephen and his sister Lynn were army brats and moving around a lot as children made the family very close. He had wonderful memories of playing with his cousins on the farm. He had a lifelong love of learning, a degree in Biology from Queens University, and was definitely someone you wanted on your team for trivial pursuit. He loved to read and shared his extensive library with family, friends, and friends of friends. In 2014 he read 151 books. Stephen loved genealogy and traced his family tree back to the 17th century. He was a computer nerd before it became popular. He was our geek squad. He loved music and movies and had extensive collections of both. He enjoyed birding, nature, and loved animals. There was never a shortage of cats and dogs in his home. Stephen worked for The Ministry of Natural Resources, DuPont and the City of Ottawa. He had licenses for both Stationary Engineering and Water Treatment Processing. He loved cooking foods from around the world and travelling. Being a proud Scotsman, he loved a good single malt. Stephen met his wife Penny Hoy in 1990 and they married in 1992. They had two beautiful children Selena, in 1995, and Connor, in 1997. They lived in the country in Oxford Mills. Stephen spread love and kindness where ever he went. There was no personal space where Stephen was concerned. If you were one of his peeps, you were getting a big hug and a kiss. He was most happy surrounded by family and friends. The bond of love Stephen had with his mom, dad and sister was so strong, when I (Penny) first met Stephen I was worried where I would fit in, but I need not worry, I was quickly taken into the clan as one of their own. In the last year he had much time to reflect on his life, he was so happy to have found love and his children were his pride and joy, his greatest achievements, he often said he never thought he would have so much love in his life. The last year has been a difficult one. Stephen was diagnosed just over a year ago with colon cancer, a brave blue warrior, he fought long and he fought hard. If everyone reading this can convince 10 people to get a colonoscopy at 50 and they convince another 10 people and so on then maybe just maybe we can bring this nasty disease to its knees. To our friends and family who rallied around us throughout this difficult year, your presence, love, soups, curries, texts, and phone calls made those days a little brighter. He looked forward to them. All the Facebook comments after each chemo from family and friends gave him the strength to carry on. One of Stephen’s last reflections caught me by surprise, “Why are we always waiting for the weekend? Why are we always waiting for a vacation?” I asked him if he had a dream he said no. Those words may mean something different to everyone, but to me it means live now. A big Thank You to the Beth Donovan Hospice, the nurses on 5 East at the Ottawa General Hospital, and the WDMH Chemo Unit. Your care and compassion have been exemplary. A celebration of life will be held in 2018, when memories replace tears. The sun has fallen from our sky, please give us time... Remember me Be brave Be happy Reviresco Gra Go Deo

IN MEMORIAM
IN MEMORIAM
CRAIG (Somerville) - In loving memory of our dear Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma Mary Elizabeth Sept. 5, 2011. She never looked for praises, She was never one to boast. She just went on quietly working, For the ones she loved the most. Her dreams were seldom spoken, Her wants were very few. And most of the time her worries went unspoken too. She was there - a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto. In times of stress and strife. Forever in our hearts Love Connie, Cynthia, Candace and families
FICKO, Jean - In loving memory of a dear mom, who passed away September 11, 1997 Twenty years have come and gone, And still the pain of losing you lingers on. We do not need a special day, To bring you to our mind. For the days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find. Our hearts still ache with sadness, And silent tears still flow. For what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. Forever loved Shirley and Art

DOBSON, Archie; September 3, 1990 In loving memory of a Husband, Father, Grandfather; If we could visit heaven, Even for a day, Maybe for a moment, The pain would go away. We’d put our arms around you, And whisper words so true, That living life without you, Is the hardest thing to do. No matter how we spend our days, No matter what we do, No morning dawns or evening falls, When we don’t think of you. Forever and always – Fran, Tammy, Shannon & Douglas

MOORE, Lorna - In loving memory of a dear sister who passed away Sept. 7, 2009. Although we smile and make no fuss, No one misses you more than us, And when old times we often recall, It’s then we miss you most of all. We think about you always, We talk about you still, You have never been forgotten, And you never will. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk and guide us through our lives, Until we meet again.

WEBB – In loving memory of Bill Webb who passed away two years ago on September 3rd, 2015. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, The day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, We’d walk our way to heaven And bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, No one could ever fill. Deeply loved and missed by loving Wife Betty, Daughter Debbie, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in North Grenville BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Young Abigail Hosick giggled as she and her sister Amelia helped raise a flag Sept. 1 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre to kick off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The occasion holds special significance for seven-year-old Abigail and her family (dad Drew, mom Marina and siblings Amelia and Aiden) as she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, B cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, on Jan. 17. Since that time she has been undergoing chemotherapy and treatments for the disease, which has a survival rate of 80 to 85 per cent in children. “She has 21 months to go of cancer treatments,” Drew noted. “She goes into something called maintenance next month, if everything is good. And then that’s a lot more oral treatments and eventually it will be done to once a month that we actually have to go in for treatments.” Hosick and his family joined North Grenville Mayor David Gordon, Canadian Cancer Society fundraising specialist Christina Thompson, and organizers and participants of the upcoming Neon Night for Childhood Cancer to observe the flag raising. Thompson believes this is the first time Childhood Cancer Awareness Month has been proclaimed by the municipality. “I am proud to be standing here today thanks to the Municipality of North Grenville and the mayor and councillors’ belief that Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is an im-

Gordon said the work of the community-based organization is making great strides, “but there is more work to do.” “On the average, 950 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with cancer in Canada each year. With donors all across the nation aiding towards childhood cancer research, the Canadian Cancer Society has found
that childhood cancer often responds well to treatment,” he explained. “This means that more children than ever before are surviving childhood cancer through the help of research that includes, but is not limited to, early detection of family members at risk and better definitions in the medical field for fulfilling treatment plans.” Thompson highlighted the efforts of Neon Night, which will mark its fourth year Saturday, Sept. 23. The 2 and 5K non-competitive fun run/walk is designed for all ages and abilities and takes place in Kemptville’s Riverside Park (200 Reuben Crescent). The run/walk gets underway at 7:30 p.m., following the opening ceremonies. It also features a pre-party, beginning at 5:30 p.m., with face painting, barbecue and entertainment. “This September, we’re asking our community to help us continue our work so fewer children will have to face cancer and because of that, we are using our Neon Night fun run to encourage Kemptville and the surrounding area to come and participate,” she said. Lyall Jollota, one of the organizers of Neon Night, noted each year there are “more runners and more sponsors.” “Registration numbers are way up,” he said. “Yes, we’re about double where we were last year at this time,” added Thompson. “It’s proving to be another successful event.” In fact, Thompson said that the See MONTH page K2

inaugural edition of the run boasted 500 participants and organizers are hoping to reach 700 this year. The goal is to raise $75,000 for childhood cancer research. The name of the run comes into play as the route around the streets of Kemptville will glow in the dark and participants will be decked out in their finest neon gear. Getting involved is simple; people can register as individuals or a team at convio.cancer.ca. Can’t participate? No problem, you can pledge funds or
donate to a team online as well. Hosick, his family and friends will be joining in the run with their team, Arms Around Abigail. The host of 97.5 Juice FM radio in Kemptville, Drew said he’s always supported community events, but they take on a different significance given what Abigail is going through. He’s humbled by the outpouring of support from North Grenville and the surrounding areas through benefit dances and fundraisers. “Once you’re hit by something like this, it’s so much dif-
ferent,” he said. “…It’s funny how you feel like you’ve lost something forever, even if they come out of it perfect in every way. Maybe her hair won’t ever be the same, it might darken or she might be affected by longterm effects of drugs or just the time spent at the hospital and her having to learn about these things at such a young age. You just feel like you’ve lost something. I know there are people who have lost a lot more…but you go through a lot. There’s constant stress and worrying about what happens next.”

Council hears update on crosswalks, local construction projects BY PAULINA HREBACKA
Nancy Cowan School of DANCE
phrebacka@metroland.com
The following are briefs from the Aug. 28 North Grenville council and committee of the whole meetings. The long-awaited triple crosswalk at Prescott Street and Clothier Street East has been painted. The installation of eight enhanced crosswalks in Kemptville's downtown core were approved in North Grenville’s 2017 budget on Feb. 27. When asked for an update on the crosswalks at the committee of the whole meeting on Aug. 28, director of public works, Karen Dunlop, said, “The topic of crosswalks has come up in the past, and as you are aware, the tender exceeded our budgetary limit. We will be bringing back an information report at the next committee of the whole meeting on the fifth of September.” Dunlop also spoke to other construction projects in the area. “Construction season is still upon us. From the roads standpoint, we still have many programs going, especially River Road. River Road between

have vehicles parking on both sides of the street and still have safe passage of two lanes of traffic and/or emergency access. This has been the subject of several complaints. The proposed change would see an extension to the no parking zone along the south side of the street. • Asa Street – cars on the north side are crowding the stop sign at the intersection of Asa and Thomas streets. • Asa Street – the 15-minute only restriction in the vicinity of the old Bank of Nova Scotia. These signs have previously been removed as
they are no longer required. The proposal is to amend the schedule to reflect this. • Water Street – the 15-minute only restriction in front of 16 Water Street is no longer required. The proposal is to remove the signs and amend the schedule accordingly. • Prescott Street – the 15-minute only restriction between 116 and 126 in front of the CIBC. These signs were removed during the Prescott Street reconstruction and there is no longer a requirement for the restriction. The proposal is to amend the schedule to reflect this change. • The “no stopping area” along
the north side of Reuben Crescent for school buses is no longer required. The proposal is to have the signs removed and the schedule amended accordingly. • The section of eQuinelle Drive in the vicinity of the club house has been the source of several complaints. The curved portion of the street helps to create line of sight issues with parked vehicles. The builder has erected “No Parking” signs. The proposal is to amend the schedule to add this area. • The boat launch on Lannin Lane has been the subject of complaints, especially with heavy boat traffic in the summer months and
the need for emergency access to the residents as well as access to the fill site. The proposal is to erect “no parking” signs along the north side of this access lane and amend the schedule accordingly. Council agreed on the deferral based on their interest in seeing some form of public consultation carried out before the amendment is to be considered, specifically pertaining to the Lannin Lane item. Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin expressed her concern that residents and businesses local to the areas affected by the parking bylaw amendments may not have been given enough notice of these changes.

The layouts vary from classroom to classroom, as some classes are setup with a more collaborative working environment with the desks in groups, and some are lined in rows to allow for a more independent work environment. The classrooms also feature operable partitions, which act as dividers between the rooms and can be opened for the classes to work together. “With the excitement that comes along with a new school, our enrollment has increased and we now have five kindergarten classrooms,” Staples said. The North Grenville Co-operative Daycare will continue to utilize the KPS classrooms to host their before and after school programs. “The gym is absolutely beautiful,” Staples said. The large gymnasium sports the KPS
colours, black and red, and the school’s DRAGONS logo in the centre of the floor, as well as on the walls. The school’s parking lot includes dedicated busing areas for drop-off and pick-up laneways on the grounds to ensure the safety and security of all students. In addition to the students who pre-registered for the 2017 school year, Staples is expecting approximately 471 students this year. Stay tuned as KPS will be hosting an Open House in the coming weeks. More information to follow. Parents and guardians are asked to ensure that they have signed up for “School and Board News” updates through myfamilyroom.ca to receive emails. KPS will also be posting updates on its school website and school Facebook page as they are available. For more, contact Staples at tracy. staples@ucdsb.on.ca or 613-258-2206.

OPINION N
Number four?
o, I’m not pregnant. After the twins, I was cut off from childbearing. My husband told me years ago – in no uncertain terms – that he was done having kids. And I get it. Three kids is a lot, especially kids like ours, who are tiny lunatics with lungs like opera singers. So I am not allowed to reproduce again. I have my biological brood and I am left with limited options for expansion. I have toyed with the idea of being a foster parent for years. I love kids. As much as I complain about the ones I have the truth is I would have an entire soccer team worth of kids if I was independently wealthy. Alas, I am not. And my kids never stop eating. Fostering children has been on my mind a lot lately. My own brood is getting older and would be able to understand what it means to take in kids who don’t have a home of their own. The fact there are children in our county without a place to live is something that constantly weighs on me. I may not be a perfect parent, but at least I could provide a comfortable home and stability. The part I struggle with most when thinking about becoming a

n the day of school orientation I advised our Norwegian houseguest that the ‘bus’ would be leaving at approximately 7:30 a.m. The Farmer came downstairs as we were spreading liverwurst on toast at about 7:05, used a shoehorn to put his shoes on and pulled on a dress jacket. Mina shot me a look of alarm. “Are we still leaving at 7:30?!” she whispered. I reminded my husband that he didn’t have to leave just yet – and he assured us he had other things to do before hitting the road. The whole incident reminded me so much of my father. Dad used to give us an exit time – and then saunter out the door half an hour before that to back the car out of the garage and sit in the driveway. Mom would emerge from the bathroom, head in a towel, to gasp, “is he in the CAR?!” We were never late for ANYTHING if Dad was at the wheel. In most cases we were at least 20 minutes early. I didn’t inherit that gene. The school year started for North Grenville after Dad’s birthday this year. In fact, his 76th birthday fell on the Labour Day holiday.
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION foster parent is having to give the children back at some point. I am sure that is what deters a lot of people who would be happy welcoming foster kids into their homes: saying goodbye. Love isn’t something you can control. It just happens. What if a kid comes into my life that I can’t let go of ? Someone who becomes a part of our family and then has to leave? It’s a difficult decision to make. Do you go ahead, knowing that you will likely be hurt? Do you make the leap, fully aware that it means putting your own family through an emotional rollercoaster? But on the other hand, is it right to do nothing when you have the means to make a difference in a kid’s life? Maybe they only stay with you for a week. Maybe that one week is the calmest, happiest they ever have. It’s a really hard call and I just don’t know yet. The one thing I do know is you have to be absolutely sure before you move forward.

Back to school again The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER
He would have been pleased to have one more day of summer vacation before having to don a suit and head to the science lab and classroom. He did not enjoy the years when school started before his birthday. Sometimes he didn’t even show up. For a few years now I’ve watched many of my friends seeing their kids off to university for the first time. I remember when my eldest flew the nest. It’s a time of transition for the whole family. Mom and Dad have to learn to let go, and the other siblings left behind have to discover a whole new way of being, on their own. Every time I hear of a young man or woman going off to school, I think of it as an extremely positive thing. It’s such a huge accomplishment, for the whole family. The student has earned entry into
the institution through hard work and achievements. The family has found a way to finance the whole deal. And finally, Mom and Dad, you have given your child the confidence and independence they need to take this next step. Good for all of you. When I was 19, in 1987, I was nowhere near ready to go to university. I had been accepted into Carleton University’s honours journalism program, and Grandma said I could stay with her, because I just couldn’t picture myself in residence. Before I had to make a move, however, another option came along and within weeks I found myself married and waitressing in Ottawa. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I had had the guts to stick to my original plan and go to school instead of hooking up with a man 13 years my senior and becoming a wife instead. But then again, there isn’t much value in wondering ‘what if.’ My impulsive nature and rash decisions led to a fairly entertaining if not very peaceful 13-year marriage, and three beautiful daughters (and one granddaughter). I wouldn’t change the past if it meant not
having them. The beginning of a new school year brings back so many memories for me, both as a nervous student and an anxious mother. I remember the first day of grade 6, when I was informed by another student that my homemade yellow T-shirt did not ‘go’ with my homemade brown skirt. I remember my just-turned-fouryear-old in 1997 asking me if she could go to school like her older sisters, and having to make that difficult decision. She did very well, although her first teacher report advised that I “send more snacks” because my little one was a nervous eater and liked to explore the other lunch
bags in the locker room. Maybe I should have had more store-bought snacks at home. I was a stay-athome mom so there were really no packaged snacks at home and my girls had a kind of fascination with them as a result. Being a parent can be a whiteknuckle ride at any stage of the game. But as you send your kids off to school, whether it is kindergarten, university or anywhere in between, say a quick prayer over their heads and know that your love has equipped them with the tools they need to succeed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reader: Wynne should have paid different visit DEAR EDITOR:
I’m sure we are all aware that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne recently honoured the Kemptville Youth Centre with a visit. Among other things, she produced a rock painting that said: “you are perfect” (I wonder at the appropriateness of the message she is sending here, but perhaps that is a discussion best left for another time). The young people who use the youth centre may not be old enough to vote, but they are also not old enough to re-
ceive hydro bills. Wynne should have taken the trouble to cross the street to visit the Salvation Army. The Sally Ann operates a food bank used by people that I suspect in many instances can’t afford groceries after they finish paying their hydro bills. Ironically, I received my hydro bill in the mail the day of Wynne’s visit. I opened it the next day and was shocked to discover that my monthly energy cost is now in excess of $80 more than it was last month, and approaching $200
more than this time last year at around this time. And in my humble opinion it was already too high back then. There is an expression that people always get the government they deserve. Well, thanks to all of those who voted in Wynne and her ideology-driven, in my opinion, common sense deprived Liberal cronies last election, I now have the government YOU deserve. And I can’t thank you enough! Bill Manning Kemptville
Tough season of weather for ladies golf league DEAR EDITOR:
Well, not so much. The Rideau Glen Ladies League will be wrapping up their 2017 season – such as it was. The amount of rain that fell this year was astronomical. The final month end dinner will be held Tuesday, Sept. 26. With a shotgun start at 4 p.m. sharp (weather permit-
ting) trophies will be presented. We would be welcoming John and Anne Goss the owners of Rideau Glen, who will finally be taking full control of the golf course, after honouring a three-year lease of the course to Champion’s Nest. We look forward to some positive exciting changes under their ownership.
I would personally like to thank my executive team for their hard work and dedication to the league when I was unable to golf myself due to my injury – you are a truly exceptional group of ladies.

Monica Viola of MonSky Creations in Merrickville has been selected to exhibit three pieces of her artwork in the prestigious international exhibition, the Florence Biennale, in Florence, Italy Oct. 6 to 15.
Monica Viola selected for 2017 Florence Biennale Monica Viola is one of only nine Canadians tapped for a prestigious exhibition in the city of the arts, Florence, Italy. The Florence Biennale is an international exhibition of contemporary art that happens every two years. The exhibition was founded in the early 1990s. Every two years, thousands of artists from more than 100 countries have their work showcased. This year’s edition will exhibit the work of more than 400 artists from over 70 countries, giving the artists international exposure. In the fall of 2016, Viola, at the recommendation of a fellow artist who has exhibited at the Biennale, suggested that she should apply. She applied and, based on the quality of her artwork, was approved and then invited to participate in the 2017 edition. Viola accepted the invitation, knowing it would be an honour to represent Canada at such a prestigious show. Viola has her own gallery called MonSky Creations in Merrickville. Her artwork is collected around the globe. She is a truly international artist and she sees this exhibition as a chance to extend her reach to new levels with galleries, and art collectors from around the world. Viola is a Chilean born artist who has lived in Canada since 1982. Most of those years were spent in Vancouver, B.C. In 2013, she moved to Ontario and opened her own gallery in Merrickville. Why Merrickville? The village is rich in heritage and culture, with a strong artistic presence. Per capita, according to statistics Canada, Merrickville has the second highest concentration of artists in Canada. She felt the atmosphere and character of this village, and its collection of artists, made it a perfect place to open a gallery. “Through my art, I continue to be playful, marrying new ideas and techniques to my artistic growth. My work is not a complete circle, but a joyous
evolution of ideas,” said Viola. As an artist, Viola works in several different media. Although clay and glass are her preferred modes of artistic expression at this time, she is also a proficient painter and fabric artist. Her ideas and inspiration determine her current method of creation to create works that unique. Changing media is like opening a new door of fresh, new creative ideas. For the Florence Biennale, Viola has chosen to exhibit three works of her ceramic art, entitled Interchange, Fairy on a Swing and Queen of Hearts. Inspired by dreams, fantasy, surrealism and classical art, these works give an insight into her creative mind that has been inspired by a lifelong love of art history and art appreciation. The 2017 Florence Biennale runs from Oct. 6 to 15 at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. Located in the historical centre of Florence, the fortress itself is a Renaissance masterpiece of military architecture that has been the main centre for exhibitions in Florence since 1967. It is a truly inspiring venue that dates back to the reign of the Medicis. As an artist, it will be an inspirational and enlightening experience to exhibit in such a historic city amongst some of the world’s finest contemporary artists. To view Viola’s artwork, make sure to visit her gallery in Merrickville at 230 St. Lawrence Street, check out her website (www.monskycreations.com) or visit her Facebook page (MonSky Creations Gallery) or Instagram (@ monskycreations). If you want to support Viola to take part in the amazing exhibition, she has created a Indiegogo fundraising page. On this site you will find fine examples of her artwork that are available with different levels of contributions. Artworks available range from reproductions, to the actual pieces that will be exhibited at the Florence Biennale. To contribute, go to www.indiegogo.com and look for ‘Monica Viola – Exhibition in Florence Italy.’
