Extensive county bridge work underway Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Good thing the chicken isn’t trying to cross the bridge. Factory Bridge in Oxford Mills and Sloan’s Bridge in South Gower will be closed until November. The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (UCLG) is investing more than $1.6 million (excluding taxes) in area bridges and a culvert. “On Factory Bridge, we’re replacing the guardrails, doing patchwork on
the sidewalks, an overlay on the deck, repaving and also waterproofing between the asphalt and the deck,” said Melanie Lamb, manager of engineering and construction with UCLG. “When it’s done, it will look the exact same – just a little newer.” She explained the guardrails needed to be replaced because they did not meet today’s crash standard. Sloan’s Bridge, just south of Edward Scott Road, is getting a similar makeover. See Guardrails page K2

Lanark County construction projects come in $320,000 under budget Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
Extra funds leftover from the 2016 Lanark County construction projects means additional work can be done this year. Terry McCann, the county’s director of public works, provided the good news to county councillors during the Aug. 31 public works committee meeting. He noted that all budgeted projects for the year have been completed, which included bridge work on the George Street bridge in Lanark; the replacement of a box culvert on Highway 511, relining of three large steel culverts on County Road 10 between Perth and Franktown at Coburn Creek; and Andrewsville Bridge upgrades. “We did Andrewsville Bridge stringer repairs on the north end of the bridge and repaired some of the running boards on the top of the Andrewsville Bridge,” McCann explained. “We don’t have any overruns, all came in within a couple per cent of the budget. So, you don’t lose money on every bridge job.” Several road rehabilitations were also finished: County roads 1, 6, 19, 24 and 36; and surface treatment overlays were put on County roads 8 and 16. Microsurfacing was also completed on County roads 8, 9, 19 and 24. After all is said and done, McCann said there are leftover funds in the budget for public works capital projects. “Basically what we have, after construction, we have approximately $320,000 leftover from the capital budget,” he remarked. “Good tender prices and favourable asphalt and fuel index prices have been the largest contributors of that.” McCann suggested to county councillors that $250,000 of those funds be spent on additional projects and outlined a series of options for them to consider, beginning with a micro scratch coat on Highway 43 between Perth and Port Elmsley for $210,000 and $40,000 to replace culverts on a various county roads. “It would be a micro-scratch coat or base coat for micro (on Highway 43),” he said. “We’re planning on doing it from Perth to Smiths Falls next year but the portion from Perth to Port Elmsley is
starting to get a little bit questionable, where the cracks are and it’s starting to open up a bit. We do have a micro contract that could possibly be extended and also we would do some culvert replacements.” The second option is strictly the replacement of 18 to 20 culverts on county roads for $250,000. “We went through the list and we still have 50 culverts that are in the one to five year range that are supposed to be replaced,” McCann noted. “We’ve been doing about $250,000 to $260,000 a year and we still have 50 to go. That’s another option.” The third suggestion would see the repaving of 2.5-kilometres of County Road 23 from Highway 43 to Guthrie Road with paved shoulders for $250,000 as well, while the last option proposes removing the rock and ditching on County Road 6, east of Hanna Road for $100,000, eight culvert replacements on county roads for $100,000, and three cable guide rail replacements on County roads 16 and 511 for $50,000. “We would do some equipment reno work on County Road 6 ahead of next year’s job, which we are not chewing up the pavement in that location,” McCann stated. County Coun. Aubrey Churchill (Drummond/North Elmsley reeve) said that options were appreciated “but the question I have is, what is your main option? What do you think should be done?”
McCann indicated that his preferred option would be the first one, “because we’re a little bit worried about the surface of Highway 43 over the winter. It’s getting worse and we’ll have to spend a little extra money doing repairs prior to micro next year.” Councillors endorsed the first option, which was formally approved during the Sept. 7 council meeting. Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor) asked McCann to explain the microsurfacing process. “It’s the same thing that’s on County Road 29, right from one end to the other, so it’s a natural-based project that is basically mixed with stone dust so that it flows over the road and then it hardens up quickly,” he explained, adding one of the benefits is the material fills cracks and holes. “That keeps the water out and it’s a lot cheaper than obviously hot mix asphalt is.” McCann said Highway 43 would require two lifts of micro-surfacing. The portion from Perth to Port Elmsley would get one lift this year and then another would be done next year and work would continue to Smiths Falls. He indicated it was last re-surfaced eight years ago, but the section from Smiths Falls to Port Elmsley had crack sealing prior to the micro-surface treatment, but from Port Elmsley to Perth did not. “And you can sort of see the results,” he commented. “The other thing is, they say micro is only supposed to be good

County paramedic station in Montague nearing completion Ashley Kulp
The new paramedic station will replace the current one on Maple Avenue in Smiths Falls, which the county has leased for nearly 40 years. The lease of the new building between the county and Guy Saumure & Sons is for a period of 20 years, with options to extend it. The province is funding 50 per cent of the total lease and operating costs.
The finishing touches are being put on Lanark County’s new ambulance base in Montague. County councillors were given an update on its progress during the Aug. 31 public works committee meeting by Coun. Klaas Van Der Meer (Montague deputy reeve) and public works committee chair. Guy Saumure & Sons Construction Ltd. won the contract for the design/build-to-suit lease of the paramedic station back in the winter. Work began on the approximately $2.46 million project, located at the corner of Lorne Street and Rideau Avenue, back in April. Designed by Eastern Engineering, it includes four drive-through bays, including a decontamination area, a large meeting room, kitchenette, as well as lockers for paramedics and crew. Van Der Meer received an email from Chris Saumure of Guy Saumure & Sons indicated the station “is progressing well.” “The administration area is currently being painted and they’re getting ready to finish the bays,” he stated. Recently, Van Der Meer, along with Coun. John Hall and warden Gail Code, all members of the paramedic station’s building committee, had a

Paramedics also tested out the drive-through bays. “They tested it to see and it all worked out just fine,” Van Der Meer stated. “So, the building is perfectly suited.” Construction is on track to be completed by Oct. 1, he said. “Asphalt should be going down the second week of September, the landscaping will then follow,” he commented. “The largest outstanding items are a diesel
generator that’s scheduled to be installed in September and the building will be completed by Oct. 1.” Saumure & Sons will then turn the building over to Lanark County Nov. 1 with a phased move-in planned throughout the month of November. The lease terms will commence Nov. 1 as well. Van Der Meer also showed a photo slideshow of the progress to councillors. “As you can see, it’s a beautiful building, for all of you who haven’t
had the chance to go by it,” he remarked. “I go by it lots because it’s right where I work and live. They’ve done an excellent job that I can see. Gail and I were very impressed and I’m sure Coun. Hall was impressed as well. They’re (Saumure & Sons) very much on top of it. The ambulance people were very impressed and very excited and just can’t wait to get moved into their new home.” “It’s a very positive thing,” Van Der Meer added.

Ontario’s Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, centre, in blue, helps Premier Kathleen Wynne introduce her newly shuffled cabinet on June 13, 2016 on the stairs at Queen’s Park in Toronto. However, 16 of those ministers, who appeared at the AMO conference in Windsor in mid-August, did not get good performance reviews during a bear-pit session.
Perth politicians find agreement on lacklustre Ontario cabinet performance Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Politicians from Perth town council’s left-wing and rightwing flanks were not impressed with what they heard last month from the Ontario cabinet. Both fiscal hawk Coun. Jim Boldt, and Mayor John Fenik, a former federal Liberal turned New Democratic Party candidate, attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual convention in Windsor from Aug. 14 to 16. While the convention heard from Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, Progressive Conservative opposition leader Patrick Brown, and New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath, Boldt told Perth town council on Aug. 30 that when it came to the “bear-pit session,” involving 16 of Wynne’s cabinet ministers, “a lot of the answers… were not great answers.” Some of this he charitably chalked up to the June 13 cabinet shuffle, which meant that some ministers had only been on the job – or in cabinet itself – for two months. A common answer Boldt heard was, “I haven’t been on the job for that long.” While the answers were short on detail for Boldt, the questions were heavy. “There is a lot of concern in the province about the cost of electricity, and where it is going, health care, and policing costs,” he said. “Going forward, I hope that the province will listen.” Fenik, who attended the same session, said, “I agree with Coun. Boldt. The politicians up on stage said very little… (They had) a great way of speaking very eloquently and
saying nothing.” For Fenik, the numbers that the Ontario government has to work with are not encouraging. Fenik reported to council that Ontario faces police and fire settlements totalling $485 million, which could have paved 1,750 km of road. About $900 million alone is needed to repair social housing stock. A projected shortfall in government transfers could see property taxes rise significantly in the next nine years. By way of example, Fenik said that a property owner paying $3,000 in property taxes in 2016 could be paying as much as $6,690 in property taxes by 2025 if the fiscal situation – which sees Ontario with the world’s largest sub-sovereign debt at about $350 billion – is not rectified. Municipalities may need to start looking at sharing services, seeking increased transfers, and fixing the arbitration system. “Arbitrators seem to side with unions,” said Fenik. “It was really frustrating,” he said, adding that the Ontario Liberals did not seem to desire any changes to the arbitration system. Fenik surmised that this may be because the Liberals’ war chest is partially filled by lawyers, and the arbitration field, for “lawyers, that’s their bread-and-butter.” During the conference, municipal leaders heard about communities that were excelling, those maintaining the status quo, and those on the decline. Those on the decline faced similar challenges – little reserves, high debt levels, and high infrastructure needs, as well as low and/or declining population levels. Fenik said that Perth does not fit the
definition of a declining community, with healthy reserves, declining debt, and population levels that are somewhat static, but not declining significantly. “It’s the accumulation of debt that will result in some serious stuff,” said Fenik. Fenik took the opportunity to network at the conference, working both hard and soft power. The soft power came when he compared baby pictures with Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, but the hard power came that Tuesday morning, when Fenik called Naqvi’s office to inquire about the vacant position on the Perth police services board. (Unofficially, this newspaper has gleaned that the appointment candidate is Eric Halpin, president and board chair of the Perth Cemetery Company.) “They are taking way too long,” said Fenik. Boldt was also busy networking in Windsor, meeting with Andrew Bowles, manger of government affairs at 3M Canada, about a new initiative the company is planning for its Perth plant. “It could generate more income for us and the province,” said Boldt. “It was an interesting meeting.” While the two men agreed on the cabinet’s performance, the two men – on a lighter note – took different paths to reach Windsor. Boldt chose to fly to south-western Ontario, via Billy Bishop Airport on Toronto Island. He called it a “horrendous trip down,” and he said he is now familiar with “every inch” of Billy Bishop Airport. Fenik, however, chose to travel by train – and ended up beating Boldt to Windsor.

Push For Change initiative coming to Lanark County Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 From Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, Joe Roberts will be pushing a shopping cart through Lanark County and Smiths Falls to raise awareness and help end youth homelessness. His journey for this national trek started May 1, 2016 in St. John’s Newfoundland and will end September 30, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia. During this 9,000 km and 17-month trip, Roberts will be making hundreds of stops to get involved with local community events across the country. The Push for Change, partnering together with Raise the Roof Canada and The National Coalition to End Youth Homelessness, are working to build a prevention framework called “The Upstream Project.” The Push for Change will share funds raised while in Lanark County and Smiths Falls between The Upstream Project and United Way Lanark County, who will distribute the funds to agencies serving homeless youth. Locally, partners are working on hosting a number of events over Roberts’ four-day stay to highlight the need to end youth homeless within Lanark
County and Smiths Falls. The Push For Change team will be in Carleton Place on Friday, Sept. 30, in Perth on Saturday, Oct. 1, and Smiths Falls on Monday, Oct. 3. To welcome Roberts to Lanark County, Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. is holding a barbecue on Friday, Sept. 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their dealership on McNeely Avenue. Watch for further details in the coming weeks. Why youth homelessness? Roberts experienced homelessness himself at a young age, and transformed his difficult life to become a successful businessman and entrepreneur. He has personally experienced the power of possibility thinking in the face of some of life’s biggest obstacles, and he is dedicated to sharing this possibility mindset with others who are going through their own challenges. We know the key to ending homelessness is in prevention, combined with emergency services and sustainable housing. Often we overlook the issue of prevention, but it’s the best hope for helping young people to transition safely into adult hood. It is also

• The annual cost to keep a single youth in the shelter system is between $30,000 and $40,000 – and that’s if a shelter is even available! • The cost of keeping a single youth in a detention centre
is estimated at $250 a day, or $100,000 a year. • Canada’s total homeless population – estimated by government to be 150,000 and by non-governmental agencies to be as high as 300,000, is costing taxpayers as much as $7 billion annually. A study completed a year ago by the Algonquin College Applied Research & Innovation Centre estimated that 45 youth are homeless in Lanark County and Smiths Falls during a given year. However, this estimate has been proven to be low. In the first seven months of 2016, 60+ youth have contacted the Homeless Intervention and Prevention Case Managers in our commu-

County committee endorses 54-unit mobile home park for Drummond/North Elmsley Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
A 54-unit mobile home park in Drummond/North Elmsley is closer to realization after Lanark County’s economic development committee endorsed the concept Aug. 31. The committee approved the amendment to Drummond/North Elmsley’s Official Plan to re-designate a 7.3 hectare portion of land to allow for the development, known as Lakeridge Adult Lifestyle Community, at 949 Drummond Concession 7. The application was reviewed on behalf of the county by Stantec Consulting’s senior project manager David Krajaefski, who made a presentation to the committee Aug. 31. He said while the entire property is 12.5 hectares, only a parcel is being re-designated. “The site is occupied by a single detached dwelling and across the road from the site are two mobile home parks,” he explained, adding that the current zoning allows for up to nine units on the site. “...The Drummond/ North Elmsley Official Plan has requirements for mobile
home parks that are being met in the proposal. For example, the site has frontage and access to a public road (Drummond Concession 7) that’s being maintained year-round. Internal roads will be constructed to township standards.” Each unit will encompass roughly a third of an acre and when evaluating the proposal under the Provincial Policy Statement, Krajaefski said it is an “efficient use of land, as the parcels are relatively small for a rural-scale development and it does meet the official Plan’s good use of land services.” “It also avoids natural resource lands,” he continued. “There is a wetland area I believe on part of the property, but none of that land is within the development. And it does provide another type of housing within the township.” Public consultation was held through an information session May 31 and a formal meeting June 21 during a Drummond/North Elmsley council session. It was adopted June 28 by council and forwarded to the county for approval in July. “Our recommendation
is that the amendment be approved,” Krajaefski said. Coun. Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) wondered how properties were assessed in mobile home parks. “I have no problems and I totally agree with the request,” he noted. “...does MPAC (Munici-
pal Property Assessment Corporation) use the same criteria when they’re assessing a mobile home and parks as they do for regular residential? I wondered if there’s a different tax system for mobile home parks.” “...The only reason I ask is that I understand a lot of mobile
homes that rent out by the year, I understand that some of them have doubled in the last couple of years in rent,” he continued. “The rental income is huge and I guess I was just thinking about taxes.” Each unit will be assessed separately but there will be one tax bill. Coun. Jane Torrance

COMMENTARY
W
A case of sticker shock
e knew it was coming, but seeing it in black and white – and red – brought home the reality of the situation. At the top of a vehicle sticker renewal application from Service Ontario are the words “Important: Fees are increasing.” The form indicates the current fee of $108 will be replaced by a new fee of $120 effective Sept. 1. Those fortunate enough to receive their renewals ahead of the deadline could purchase them for the lower fee. Timing is everything! The few days leading up the change saw line-ups out the door at the Smiths Falls Service Ontario location. Everyone had the same idea! This year’s 11 per-cent increase in the price of a sticker follows the almost 10-per-cent rise in 2015. The fee was $74 just over five years ago; that makes for an overall increase of about 62 per cent. As we noted last year, most people would probably be somewhat accepting of modest increases in
government-related fees or taxes if the benefits of that additional money are apparent or can be understood by the public. We don’t dispute the claim that more money is needed to maintain roads and bridges in Ontario and that more money is being allocated for those purposes, but 62 per cent in five years borders on excessive. Just because an extra $12 a year is such a tiny fraction of the cost of keeping a vehicle on the road, doesn’t mean that motorists should just accept the constant increases in sticker renewal fees. Most of us are willing to pay our fair share, and we hope that additional revenue from sticker fees will somehow benefit motorists. Or it will just get deposited into general accounts, and any added value will be difficult to identify. With the current state of electricity rates and the implementation of capand-trade, the extra $12 a year could end up seeming like a bargain.
Mary and her sister share daydreams under sunny skies The hot sun was beating down on my sister Audrey and me. We were on our backs in the long grass watching the soft white clouds form and reform in the mostly blue sky above. It was a favourite pastime for me. Not so much for Audrey, who went along with it because she knew how much I liked to pretend the clouds were little dogs, someone with long flowing white hair, or any number of things I could muster up in my young imagination. But that day was different. Audrey talked to me just as if I was her best friend Iva. Rarely did my older sister ever include me in serious chat. After all she was years older than I was. But that afternoon, it was like she had to get off her mind what she

was thinking about. “I wish I could see the future,” she said softly. I knew there was more to come. “I would like to know what I will be doing when I am finished at the Northcote School.” I looked over at her face. Her eyes were closed. She wasn’t looking at the clouds above us. “I really want to be a nurse. Or a teacher.” I knew she would make a wonderful teacher. Didn’t she spend hours with me showing me how to knit, embroider, print in my scribbler, and go over my spelling? And as far as being a nurse was concerned, I didn’t know one living soul in all of Renfrew County who had a kinder heart. She would make a wonderful nurse.

Mailings could have been handled differently: Reader DEAR EDITOR:
Recently there were two four colour personalised mailings distributed by Hydro One regarding energy consumption by each household and how same compared to the most efficient in the neighbourhood and the neighbourhood in general. While this is somewhat useful data, it strikes me as an extravagant waste of resources, both financial and time (that is also costly). Based on information on the Hydro One website, there are 1.4 million households (Cumulative Smart Meters deployed: Over 1.4 million. – http:// www.hydroone.com/ourcompany/pages/quickfacts.aspx.)

Three confirmed cases of measles in Lanark County, Ottawa Ottawa Public Health (OPH) and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit (LGL) are investigating three related cases of measles in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals who have not received all of their required measles vaccines. The health units are working closely with local health care providers, hospitals, and the province to contact individuals and families who may have been exposed to the infectious cases. The risk of contracting measles in Ottawa and Lanark County is low for those who have been vaccinated; however, given that measles is highly contagious, it is very important that you ensure your measles immunization is up-to-date. Please remember to report to public health every time your child is vaccinated. Measles is a virus that lives in

“Well, what about being a nurse? Now, it’s the last thing I would want to be. I hate blood! But, Audrey, you would make a wonderful nurse.” She opened her eyes and looked at the soft white clouds moving in the sky, and I was pretty sure I could see that she was trying awfully hard not to cry. Why she would be feeling so sad on such a beautiful day was beyond me! “No, that will never happen,” she said, in a voice so low I could hardly hear her. I wanted to know why. After all, she was smart and I thought she could

The infection is more severe in adults and infants than in children and can lead to ear infections, pneumonia, swelling of the brain and even death. It is possible that members of the public were exposed to measles at the times and places listed below. People who have not previously had measles or have not been fully vaccinated, and who might have been exposed in these areas are asked to: Watch for any signs and symptoms of measles Avoid contact with individuals who are at high risk for complications of measles (infants less than 12 months of age, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems) for 21 days after exposure date
Possible exposure locations and dates/times:
be anything she wanted to be, and if she wanted to be either a nurse or a teacher, all she would have to do, is go out and do it. So I asked her why. What would stop her from being either? “Because there is no money. It costs money to be a nurse, and we could never afford to send me to Teacher’s College. No, I’m afraid I’ll never be either.” Now, there really were tears. Just gently rolling down her cheeks and into her hair. I knew if I reached out and touched her, it would cause a flood, so I stayed perfectly still and waited for Audrey to say something else. Finally, there
was a big sigh, and she brushed the back of her hand across her eyes. And she pointed to a huge white cloud above us, and said she thought it looked like someone riding a horse. I couldn’t see anything that resembled a horse, but I said nothing. Audrey had returned, and that was all that mattered. But long after we got up and went to do chores, I thought about what Audrey had said. Would that be my fate too? Was I destined to live out my life on a farm out in the country? And would my sister end up like so many other young girls who finished public school, working

County’s economic development committee endorses forest conservation bylaw After a round of public consultation and two drafts, Lanark County’s new forest conservation bylaw is ready to be enacted. The county’s facilities co-ordinator Jonathan Allen provided a report to county councillors at the economic development committee meeting Aug. 31. The bylaw was endorsed by the committee and formally adopted at the Sept. 7 county council meeting. At the Aug. 31 session, Allen indicated a second draft of the bylaw was ready for review after acquiring comments from the public back in April at a public information centre. “It (information session) was attended by 37 people and we received 19 comments,” he said. “We then, un-

der the director of (Coun.) Richard Kidd, we emailed that draft back out to everybody that was at the public information centre and to all forest harvesters in Lanark County.” Since no comments were received back regarding the second draft, “right now, we have draft number and we are recommending it,” Allen said. The forest conservation bylaw is being created to promote good forestry practices and prevent clear cutting. According to the document, it will also work towards “regulating and controlling the removal, maintenance and protection of trees and woodlands,” as well as “protecting, promoting and enhancing all values of woodlands, biodiversity, wildlife
habitat and ecosystem services.” It will apply only if good forestry practices aren’t being followed during tree harvesting. “if good forestry practices are not followed, then this bylaw applies to all tree harvesting of forest products for sale, own use or land use conversations, in woodlands over two hectares, per roll number, within Lanark County,” the bylaw states. “...If it’s (bylaw) recommended for adoption, staff will compile a list of qualified bylaw officers to have on hand should we ever reach section 10.4 of the enforcement clause,” Allen noted. The enforcement clause deals with access to property and if a landowner doesn’t permit the county on their
land, they will retain a bylaw officer to investigate the situation. Allen said the enforcement clause required some changes after the first draft. “This was one of the high items,” the public was concerned about, he said. “It states that the homeowner is not imposed upon. They grant people permission to enter their property, you just don’t enter their property.” “And, as it escalates and it does seem like we might need something against the bylaw, then it would go to bylaw officers and then to the OPP, if needed,” Allen continued. The penalties for those who contravene the bylaw are as follows: a fine of not more than $10,000 on first conviction and a fine of not more than
$25,000 for subsequent convictions. “The bylaw reads well now...when you go through it, it’s pretty straightforward,” he commented. “It’s really looking at unnecessary clear cutting in the county.” Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor), also the economic development committee chair, said council should be close to making a decision. “I think we’ve heard this before. We’ve heard what the original proposal was, we’ve heard what the shortcomings were, we’ve heard the report a few times on how the progress is, so I think we should be, at this point, ready

Damsels and dragonflies kick off new season of MVFN natural history lectures On Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m., the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will begin a new season of natural history lectures relating to the theme “Wild Creature Close-Ups.” This event will take place in the social hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte. The guest speaker for the evening is provincial arthropod zoologist and lifelong naturalist, Colin Jones. His presentation is entitled “Dragonflies and Damselflies of Ontario.” Have you ever wandered along a path skirting a wetland or enjoyed a relaxing stroll along a riverbank or lakeside beach and felt yourself entering a special place? You hear the sounds of water, the songs of birds, and the rustling of leaves. And then, as you relax further and ponder your surroundings, your attention is drawn to the sunlight glistening off the wings of a beautiful dragonfly or damselfly, silently skimming the surface of the water. Jones will allow us to enter the mystical world of these enchanting creatures, and will enable us to distinguish between the two.
Dragonflies and damselflies are two related suborders that make up the insect order Odonata. Although similar in many ways, there are subtle differences. We will be introduced to such fascinating individuals as the Ebony Jewelwing and the Stygian Shadowdragon. These insects are not only an important part of our ecosystem, but are exciting to watch and become familiar with. Jones’ presentation will include photographs and discussion that will outline the life cycles, conservation, and habitats of the dragonflies and damselflies of Ontario. Jones is the provincial arthropod zoologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre, which is located in Peterborough and is under the auspices of Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The centre staff members conduct research and surveys in the field for priority species and areas across Ontario. The centre collects, reviews, manages and distributes information for species of conservation concern, rare and exemplary plant communities, wildlife concentration areas, and

natural areas. In his career, Jones deals primarily with rare species. His interest in the natural world first focused on birds and birding but gradually he expanded his horizons to include many other studies in nature. Over the past 25 years, he has become more involved in the study of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). He is co-ordinator of the Ontario Odonata Atlas project and is the co-author of A Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Algonquin Provincial Park and Surrounding Area, now in its second edition. Please join us for this interesting and informative presentation. Refreshments and discussion will follow the talk. There is a non-member fee of $5 (no charge for youth under 18 years). Jones will bring along copies of the field guide described above as well as The ROM Field Guide to the Butterflies of Ontario, which he co-authored. These books sell for $25 each. For further information, please contact MVFN’s program chair Gretta Bradley at (glbradley@icloud.com).

Walk on the wild side with Michael Runtz Sept. 18 near Pakenham If walking in the woods isn’t something that you would ordinarily enjoy doing on your own, then there couldn’t be a better opportunity than following the lead of Michael Runtz. You’ll have that opportunity on Sunday, Sept. 18 at High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham. Runtz has a real talent for making nature more accessible to just about anyone, from the avid naturalist to the person who can’t tell a groundhog from a badger. Runtz’s dynamic, story-telling style, laced with humour, can turn a simple walk in the woods into an amazing adventure in the wild. His enthusiastic style has won him numerous teaching awards and record enrolments at Carleton University where he teaches natural history. He has published 11 books, adorned with the stunning photographs from his adventures. High Lonesome Nature Reserve has been a favourite spot of Runtz’s for years, before it was donated to

Soaring hydro costs driving families into poverty When people ask if you are “into green energy” it is nice to be able to hold up your hand. I have no issues with working to eliminate coal-fired electrical generation or reducing our dependency on nuclear energy which, despite a record of success, still scares many of us. Going green is fine. But not at any price! And right now Ontario is in the midst of a growing electricity crisis. We have the power, that’s not the issue. The problem is the soaring cost of delivering electricity to customers, especially those who are unfortunate enough to live in lightly populated, rural areas. The Liberal government of Premier Kathleen Wynne refuses to term the current situation “a crisis.” But for thousands of rural Ontarians who are struggling to pay their electricity bills it is a catastrophe. Some of the tales of woe we’re hearing on a daily basis are truly pitiable. Three weeks ago I read about a man in Bruce County, near Lake Huron, who after suffering a serious heart attack told family and friends it would be better if he died instead of surviving. His reasoning is that the medical equipment he is now required to use regularly runs on electricity. It is driving up his family’s already ridiculous hydro bill. The man’s family have turned to social agencies, including the United Way of Bruce County, in an effort to find the funds to meet their financial commitment. Ironically Bruce County is home to one of Ontario’s largest power generating facilities. The Bruce Power nuclear generating station provides more than 30 per cent of this province’s electricity. But in these circumstances the Bruce plant does little to reduce the cost of power for nearby residents. Instead they are forced to pay high delivery charges to Hydro One to cover the cost of transporting electricity to their rural community. That despite the fact some are living in the shadow of the biggest power generating facility in the province. The reality is that cutting electricity usage isn’t the answer. Ontarians are regularly bombarded with advertising urging us to reduce our energy consumption. Smart meters were introduced in a further effort to make us reconsider our primetime use of hydro and instead wash our clothes or run the dishwasher during off peak hours.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Clearly that’s a smoke screen. Because no matter how much people in rural Ontario cut their energy consumption – many have resorted to living in only two or three rooms in their homes – their hydro bills continue to soar. On top of that they are threatened with disconnection if they don’t pay these ridiculously high amounts. Yes, if you are one of the growing numbers of people in this province who are struggling to pay their electrical bills this is definitely a crisis. Still, despite the growing mountain of evidence that thousands can’t pay skyrocketing electricity bills, recently installed provincial Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault and his fellow ministers have failed to properly respond to public pleas. Few answers I enjoy watching Global TV Toronto and they’ve done a very good job of pursuing this important subject, pointing out the obvious and also delving into some of the sad individual stories involved. Admittedly Thibeault has inherited the worst job in cabinet. He did agree to an interview with Global in July which I watched with interest. However he leaned very heavily on the “I just inherited the file and I’m not up to speed” excuse which, at that time, was reasonable I suppose. But why agree to an interview when you can’t provide any answers? Global TV recently revealed the findings of an in-depth investigation they conducted with respect to high electricity bills. A month after telling the network he didn’t yet have answers to the questions posed, Thibeault refused a request for a follow-up interview. Surely after a month the minister would have brought himself up to speed? What better opportunity to boost his government’s sagging fortunes then by providing some answers to the mounting questions about this alarming situation? The obvious lack of any accountability doesn’t give me much faith in the Wynne government who have yet to demonstrate a solid commitment to finding ways to stem rising
electricity costs. On the other hand they are quick to financially back green initiatives such as wind and solar despite the fact those installations cost a massive amount of money to install while generating a paltry return on investment. They simply don’t add enough electricity to the grid to make them practical. Not at this stage. We all know what a mess the previous McGuinty government made of the plan to introduce gas-fired power to Ontario. Yet to me that is still an option worth pursuing. Gasfired plants are providing lots of electricity south of the border. For example the glitzy and impressive ‘Strip’ in Las Vegas is heavily fed by power generated using natural gas. In the case of Nevada my information is that the plants themselves are located in desert areas, away from heavily populated centres such as Vegas and Reno. In Ontario wind turbines and solar panels are popping up in people’s backyards and many of those affected are angry. That is especially true relative to turbines which many communities are fighting furiously due to fears the giant towers contribute to human health problems. In some cases turbines have been installed willy-nilly with little thought for their impact on the landscape or nearby residents. All this in the cause of promoting green energy which the government hopes will make them look modern and progressive. But at what cost to taxpayers? Still, the matter at hand is high electricity bills and something dramatic clearly needs to be done to help rectify this. Why, exactly, have delivery charges risen so sharply under the stewardship of this government? Even a cursory look at the so-called “Sunshine List” issued to tell us who in government or government-related jobs are making more than $100,000 annually is revealing. Hydro employees comprise a huge share of those at the very top of the list. Management costs So, has high management costs related to operating Hydro One played a part in this? Looking at the combined cost of all those six-figure incomes makes it clear the price of running the organization has also skyrocketed. The money has to come from

somewhere. It’s impossible not to believe that we, the public, are supporting this out of control system! I have no problem with hydro employees making a decent wage. But why so many on the sunshine list? Snowballing management costs have to be playing some part in all of this. In Manitoba the average monthly bill for rural hydro users is $88. Cross the border into Ontario and the average is fast approaching $300 a month. While researching this column I was given access to the bills of friends who live in rural Lanark County. The July electrical bill for one couple was $319.48. They have no family at home and due to the rising cost of hydro they rarely use their central air conditioning in summer. Yet their bill continues to rise. Another couple we know, who have two children at home, were also billed in excess of $300 in July. And they live in a newer “energy

efficient home.” By comparison our July bill here in Carleton Place was $167.96. That despite the fact our hydro use was down three points from the same period last year. I haven’t even touched on the worst examples. In some cases rural people are facing thousands of dollars in electrical costs and they simply don’t have the income to pay. The situation is so bad for some families that officials in some jurisdictions worry this is evolving from an affordability issue to one of public health and safety. For example, in the midst of the hottest summer in recent memory in Ontario many residents, including the elderly, couldn’t afford to run air conditioners that make the environment in their homes and apartments liveable. There are even reports some people have suffered mental health breakdowns and sought treatment because they’re so stressed about out of control hydro bills. Yes Madame Premier and Mr. Energy Minister, this is a full-
BYLAW
blown, four-alarm crisis for huge numbers of Ontarians! At this point I believe the focus should shift from energy saving, which clearly isn’t the answer, to finding cheaper ways to produce and deliver electricity. Why not purchase more power from other jurisdictions if it is available at less cost? Neighbouring Quebec doesn’t have the energy crisis Ontario does and it also has an abundance of power sources. This government also needs to cut soaring hydro management costs. At present many people are being forced to curtail spending on other things that are vital for the mental and physical well-being of themselves and their children in favour of hoarding money to try and keep the hydro on. That is simply unacceptable in a supposedly modern and progressive society! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

to make a decision,” she said. “That’s my thought.” However, Coun. John Hall (Lanark Highlands councillor) noted there are still misunderstandings from the public surrounding the bylaw. “Just this afternoon before I came in here, I had a chap at my place who cuts wood in the wintertime in Lanark Highlands and he said ‘I guess I’m going to have to put a mark on all my trees now before I cut them,’” he stated. “I understand Jonathan, that’s not correct at all. Nobody has to do that. There still seems to be that misunderstanding out there.” Hall suggested the county issue a press release once it is formally passed, but Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) believed that would complicate the issue. “There’s no way you could explain this bylaw in a news release and I think you’d just create more misinformation because they’d (public) read it differently,” he pointed out. Kidd said most of the commercial operations in Lanark County all operate within the guidelines of good forestry practices. “I think it’s (bylaw) there for solar farms, one of the ways we could control that,
In the average home, 75 per cent of the electricity used to power home electronics and appliances is consumed while the products are turned off. These “phantom energy” costs can be avoided by unplugging devices like cell phone chargers and househouse electrical appliances when they’re not in use.
one of the only ways, and the second thing is, if the market changes and we have commercial operations come in from outside of Lanark County, we have this then,” Kidd explained. “I don’t think we’ll ever hear about this again for quite a while unless the market changes, so I think if we just go ahead and pass it...that gossip will just go away and we’ll be fine.” “I think it’s a good bylaw to have,” he continued. “It’s a tool to have if we have some bad operators come in here from out of province.” Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) agreed with Kidd, but wanted to ensure the public had the proper contact information if they had questions. “For the sake of transparency...I agree, if you put a press release out there on any piece of policy that’s been developed, it can be misunderstood, but as long as people understand that they do have access to somebody if they do want to cut some trees down...” he stated. Allen admitted there have been many rumours surrounding the bylaw and staff are working hard to clarify any concerns. “We want to attack it head on, put a phone number in there and if there are any questions, we’ll clear them up real quick,” he said. “That’s a good tactic.”

As more than 600,000 university and college students across the province go back to school, many students will be renting housing off-campus for the first time. Ontario is reminding students about their rights and responsibilities as tenants. The province’s Residential Tenancies Act outlines landlord and tenant obligations for most residential properties in the province, and includes rules about how to terminate a lease, when rent can be increased, repairs to rental units, rent receipts and deposits, subletting, having pets and changing locks.
“Searching for housing offcampus can be daunting for students, especially those who are renting for the first time,” Housing Minister Chris Ballard stated in a release. “Knowing your rights and responsibilities as a tenant can make the process easier, protect you from rental disputes, and allow you to keep focused on what matters most – growing your talents and skills through postsecondary education.” To help the rental experience go as smoothly as possible: • Be aware of rights and responsibilities as a tenant. • Keep lines of communication open with the landlord to
minimize disagreements. • Ask the landlord to agree to rental terms in writing. • Always keep copies of documents that are provided to the landlord. If unable to resolve a rental issue with the landlord, contact the Landlord and Tenant Board for more information. If you are facing immediate, serious issues such as an illegal eviction or disconnection of vital services, you can also contact the ministry’s Rental Housing Enforcement Unit. The act does not generally apply to students living in a university or college residence. Source: Province of Ontario
Provincial, federal governments attempt to improve access to affordable housing The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, minister of families, children and social development, and the Honourable Chris Ballard, Ontario’s minister of housing, have announced measures to give Canadians greater access to more affordable housing, including the doubling of current funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing initiative, supporting affordable housing for seniors, building and renovating shelters and transition houses for victims of family violence, and addressing repairs and improving energy and water efficiency of existing social housing. Federal budget 2016 investments in affordable housing will provide targeted support to those who need it most, including in Ontario, and create jobs that help grow Canada’s
economy in a clean and sustainable way. The federal and provincial/territorial governments will work together to quickly deliver the new funding. Over the next two years, more than $640 million in new funding will be jointly invested in Ontario by the federal and provincial governments in various initiatives to support the housing needs of Ontarians. Ontario is matching the federal government’s commitment to double the current funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing initiative. An additional $168 million in provincial funding will be available to build, renovate, and provide critical affordable housing across the province, notes a CMHC release. “All Canadians need and deserve housing that is safe, adequate and affordable.

CDSBEO hosts annual welcome back celebration Aug. 30 for staff The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) board meeting held Aug. 30 at the board office in Kemptville. On Tuesday, Aug. 30, the CDSBEO hosted its annual Welcome Back Mass. The event was attended by CDSBEO educators, support staff, and administration. Mass was celebrated by Fr. John Whyte, board chaplin, and words of welcome were delivered by Board chair, Brent Laton, and director of education William J. Gartland. New CDSBEO employees were also welcomed to the board during the Mass. Each received a special blessing, and an official board pin. Growing Success: The Kindergarten Addendum The Ministry of Education has released the Addendum to Growing Success: Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting in Kindergarten on March 31. High quality and current research on new approached and pedagogies specific to the early years were utilized in this work to benchmark and compare our Ontario program with that of other national and international jurisdictions. Carrie Seguin, curriculum consultant, presented highlights from the new addendum, including how assessment and evaluation will be framed in the evidence-based process of pedagogical documentation. “Assessment, evaluation, and reporting that reflects the seven fundamental principles can have a positive and profound impact on children’s learning, as well as their motivation to learn and their confidence in their ability to do so,” noted Seguin. “Children in kindergarten need to be supported to develop a strong ability to set goals, monitor their own progress, determine next steps and reflect on their thinking and learning.” Kindergarten educators are emphatically encouraged to engage in the process of pedagogical documentation to assess and evaluate the learning and thinking for their students. Through this process, teachers will gather, document, and analyze, in collaboration with the child, other educators, and parents, a wide range of evidence of the child’s thinking and learning. This will help to support and extend the child’s learning on the basis of insight. Noticing and naming the learning process helps students to identify and name descriptively what they are learning. Children who are consistently provided the opportunity to participate in “noticing and naming the learning,” and who experience descriptive feedback regularly have an increased chance to demonstrate growth in learning. “The documented learning is then assessed through 31 overall expectations, which are aligned in four frames: Belonging and Contributing, Self-Regulation and Well-Being, Demonstrating Literacy and Mathemat-
ics Behaviours, and Problem Solving and Innovating. Parents are formally provided with information about their child’s strengths, and growth in learning, and planned next steps related to the overall expectations in each frame of the program, three times through the school year,” explained Seguin. All of the new elements included in the addendum will be phased into CDSBEO kindergarten classrooms during the 2016-2017 school year. Plant and maintenance projects 20152016 Over the course of the last 12 months, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has completed an extensive number of upgrades within schools and board facilities. Manager of plant and maintenance, Roger Cauley, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects which have been completed in more than 46 facilities, including more than 5,200 work orders and 112 projects under School Renewal, School Condition Improvement, and Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA). “It has been an extremely busy year for our department,” noted Cauley. “We’ve completed several significant projects, and many other upgrades within board facilities.” “With the new funding that was announced on July 12, the board received an additional $227,000 for school renewal, and just over $2 million for school condition improvement,” explained Cauley. “These funds allowed for additional projects to be completed including air conditioning projects at two schools, painting at seven sites, flooring at two sites, and other miscellaneous projects at ten sites.” Three schools received significant heating system replacements. At Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place a complete replacement of the heating and piping system was completed in the old wing, along with all associated electrical and structural work, and a new roof over a portion of the existing building. At St. John Catholic High School in Perth, the heating system was replaced in the old wing (two levels), with the removal of the existing heat pumps. These were replaced with new roof top units, a partial roof replacement, and new ceiling tiles in the upper and lower corridors. St. John Elementary School in Perth also received a new roof top heating system, which replaced the older hot water system. Various exterior renovations were completed at eight sites, and nine schools received interior renovations, including ODA compliant upgrades to washroom facilities. Twenty-seven schools underwent various painting projects, and 14 sites received new flooring, including a new rubber floor at Iona Academy in the gymnasium. Additional projects were carried out under various government grants including: window coverings, instal-
lation of portable classrooms, electrical upgrades, renovations to secondary school hospitality suites, window replacements, upgrades to drinking water fill stations, sidewalk and paving

upgrades, and playground improvements. “Thank you for the opportunity to highlight our progress this summer,” Cauley concluded. “I am thrilled and
excited about the work we’ve completed, and I look forward to continuing to improve our facilities.” Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

Movies return to Station Theatre with Audrey Hepburn mini-festival Sept. 16-17 Movie Nights are back at the Station Theatre in September with two films from the repertoire of the great actress Audrey Hepburn. We traditionally launch our Movie Weekends in the fall with a mini film festival. First it was two Hitchcock classics; last year we featured Stanley Kubrick. On Friday, Sept. 16 we are screening the first of our Audrey Hepburn films, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. On Saturday, Sept. 17, the hit musical, Funny Face will play. Both films start at a new time for the 2016-17 season –7 p.m. The names of Audrey Hepburn and Holly Golightly have become synonymous since Truman Capote’s dazzling romantic comedy was translated to the silver screen. Holly is a deliciously eccentric New York City playgirl determined to marry a Brazilian millionaire. George Peppard, a screen idol of the period, plays her next-door neighbour, a writer sponsored by a wealthy woman, Patricia Neal. Guessing who’s the right man for Holly is easy. Seeing just how that romance blossoms is one of the enduring delights of this screen gem which is set to dual Oscar winners: Henry Mancini’s score and the Mancini-Johnny Mercer song, Moon River. Fred Astaire co-stars with Hep-
burn in Funny Face in a visually beautiful film publicized at the time as “glamour with Hepburn, dancing by Astaire, songs by Gershwin and fashion by Givenchy.� The story centres on a New York fashion photographer (Astaire) who accidentally photographs a shy bookstore employee (Jo Stockton played by Hepburn). Believing that Jo has the potential to become a successful model, Astaire escorts her to Paris where he snaps more pictures of her against that iconic backdrop. In the process, they fall for one another, only to find hurdles in their way. The result: what the New York Times dubbed “a delightfully balmy romance.� Please note that we have changed the start time of all our movies to 7 p.m., to coincide with the start times of Film Night International. For our Station Theatre Movie Weekends there are no advance ticket sales; the doors open at 6:30 p.m. and tickets – $10 for adults, $5 for students – are sold for cash only at the door. We remind patrons of our free Movie Nights Reward Card. When presented at the time of purchase of a ticket for a Station Theatre Movie Nights movie it will be stamped by the ticket seller. Reward cards apply
to Station Theatre movies only. Not for use with Film Night International and not redeemable for cash. There is no expiration date on the card; it can be used until the card is full, at which point the patron redeems the reward of one free movie. The Smiths Falls Station Theatre – located at 53 Victoria Avenue, site of the former CPR station – is a great place to see movies as they were meant to be seen, on a big screen (ours is 14-feet wide) with big sound and in air-conditioned comfort. We suggest you go to our website at www.smithsfallstheatre.com to keep up to date with our future presentations. Our next event in the Music Series features Campbell Woods – In Concert. He’s returning to Smiths Falls on Oct. 8 with songs from his latest album, Oxford Street. Campbell is a former Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute student now living in Halifax. Then, from Oct. 14 to 23, we present Out of Sight...Out of Murder, a comedic mystery written by Fred Carmichael and directed by Katharine Coleman. Details of these shows as Desmond Devoy/Metroland well as our upcoming movies are on Maeve Hackett appears delighted with her progress during the chilour website.

Community Home Support aids people with Parkinson’s Disease through new program Don’t be surprised to hear some yelling if you drop by the Community Home Support Lanark County office in Perth on a Tuesday afternoon. The Delay the Disease program is in session from 2 to 3 p.m. that day and incorporating voice projection during exercises is one component of the fitness program designed for those with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Pioneered in Ohio, this program differs from others for those suffering from Parkinson’s, according to lead instructor Nancy McFadyen of OT Ontario East in Smiths Falls, in that it targets specific PD symptoms. These symptoms run the gamut from speech problems to impaired posture to a deterioration in hand writing to decreased movement, to list a few. “It’s not just physical exercise,” McFadyen who has more than 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist (OT) says of the program. “It is cognitive multi-tasking.” When people are diagnosed with PD, as she explains, between 70 and 75 per cent of the dopamine in their brains is depleted. “It is a gradual decline,” McFadyen notes. “In the process, they are developing bad habits like poor posture, low voice and decreased movement.” During the 12-week program, the focus is on getting them to change these habits. That is done through a variety of physical and cognitive exercises

Community Home Support Lanark County is offering a Delay the Disease fitness program designed for those with Parkinson’s Disease. The program is held each Tuesday from 2 to 3 p.m. Above, Christine Luscombe-Mills, left, a retired occupational therapist and Delay the Disease instructor, Suzanne Bourbonnais, middle, client services manager with Community Home Support Lanark County, Perth office, and Ashley Pelton, registered occupational therapist and Delay the Disease instructor. that work towards retraining the body and mind. For example, one exercise involves participants holding weights, in which they bend down as far as they can and then stand up. In another, they walk between two lines taking big steps in the process and they are asked to count the steps. “One of the things about Parkinson’s is that movements get smaller and
more restrictive,” Christine LuscombeMills, a retired OT who assists with the program, says in explaining the importance of the latter exercise. “Part of what we are doing is encouraging people to get in the habit of taking big steps to break the patterns of the small movements.” This is the first time the Delay the Disease program has been offered in

Canada with McFadyen, along with Ashley Pelton, another occupational therapist on her staff, and LuscombeMills having already obtained their certification. Just this month two more people, Allie Palmar and Pam Watts have been certified to lead the program. All exercises are modified according to a participant’s needs. “In this group, we can scale it up or scale it back,” McFadyen states, adding that the content changes slightly each week. Cardiovascular exercise is a component of the Delay the Disease program. “The brain is more receptive to change when the body is physically primed and activated by exercise,” says McFadyen. “The exercises in the Delay the Disease program are directed at facilitating change utilizing the neuroplasticity of the brain.” Pre and post-testing is done in the program to evaluate each participant’s level of functional improvement. McFadyen is appreciative of Community Home Support for its support of Delay the Disease through providing the venue for the weekly sessions. Likewise, Chartwell Willowdale Retirement Centre in Smiths Falls has offered space for the program on Fridays. According to the results of a study conducted by the Department of Neurology and Center for Biostatistics at Ohio State University, in conjunction with Columbus Health Works, early participation in a group exercise pro-
gram with a format like Delay the Disease “had a significant effect on symptoms of depression” for those with Parkinson’s. The cost for the program, which includes 12 one-hour sessions, is $449 per person. Anyone interesting in registering and/or receiving more information is encouraged to contact OT Ontario East at 613-283-2788 or email ot.nancy.mcfadyen@cogeco.ca. Community Home Support Lanark County hosts a monthly support group for people living with Parkinson Disease and their care partners/family. The support group provides a safe, friendly environment in which to share experiences and knowledge with others living with Parkinson’s Disease. The support group meets the last Monday of the month at 1:30 p.m. at the Community Home Support Lanark County office at 40 Sunset Blvd in Perth. On Sept. 26, there will be a demonstration of a Delay the Disease class at the monthly support group. Audience members will have a chance to participate in the exercises. There is no sign-up required for participating or observing the demonstration. The support group will run as scheduled between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. Light refreshments are served.

Final week for Classic Theatre Festival features dynamic duo As the final week of the Classic Theatre Festival production of An Inspector Calls comes to a close (the last show is on Sept. 11 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth), among those who have won critical kudos from the country’s top theatre reviewers are Anna Burkholder and Fraser Elsdon, who play a young couple about to be engaged as the gripping mystery thriller begins. Burkholder and Elsdon are part of a new generation of Canadian talent who made their debuts at the Classic Theatre Festival this season in an edge-of-your-seat thriller in which a body has been found and everyone is a suspect. Burkholder got her start on stage by auditioning for a fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She recalls being too scared and nervous to perform a monologue, so she tried out for a non-speaking forest creature with a movement-based audition. She was cast as Cobweb, “and I created a crazy spider walk for her. It was special because I realized I was able to create Cobweb however I wanted and I don’t think I’d experienced that type of freedom before.” She trained in physical theatre at East 15 Acting School in England. “The first several months we didn’t speak in our training. Silent play and listening to each other was a huge foundation of the training. It was a

Anna Burkholder and Fraser Elsdon are part of a new generation of talent making their debut at the Classic Theatre Festival’s production of the mystery thriller An Inspector Calls, playing until Sept. 11 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. Tickets are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. powerful experience.” Her first professional stage gig was a coming together of connections in British theatre’s royalty: the National
Theatre production of Timon of Athens on the Olivier Stage, where she recalls she “learned a lot, especially from watching the work of such gifted
actors. It was a great eye opener for me to see how a performance has the potential to be new each night. Unspoken games were played on stage
between actors and this kept things unbelievably free and spontaneous. I began to see how a sense of play was so important. I was also very fortunate to witness what it was to be truly open and vulnerable and have these moments reach even the furthest of seats. It felt magical.” Physical theatre has always held an attraction for Burkholder, who says, “I think that when I’m truly following my impulses, it’s my body leading the way. My thoughts can’t be in the way – nor my words – for me to sincerely follow my impulses. These impulses (or gut feelings) come from somewhere within, somewhere physical. That’s what interests me! As an audience member, I think the actors’ bodies on stage are so fascinating. Watching an ensemble and seeing how bodies move together, or not together at all, says so much for me.” Elsdon was bit by the theatre bug with a Grade 5 performance of the Green Day song Basket Case, played on a recorder, that truly rocked his school’s talent show He also won the speech competition with a story about living on the moon. As a teenager, he found himself singing, playing guitar, and performing, and was then cast in his Windsor high school production of Grease, followed by the role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.

Birding open houses planned at Almonte lagoons observation tower Each autumn, tens of thousands of shorebirds migrate through our area from their nesting grounds in the high Arctic. Hundreds stop off to feed and refuel at the Almonte lagoons behind the water treatment plant on Wolf Grove Road near Almonte. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) have built and maintain an observation tower overlooking the lagoon, and a trail into the tower. For 15 years, birders from all over the province and beyond have made this prime location, for shorebirds and other species, one of their important viewing spots. The 200-metre trail in to the tower also holds many fall warbler and sparrow species. On four consecutive Wednesdays, Sept. 7, 14, 21, and 28, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ birding committee invites you to walk in between 3 and 5 p.m. and view the multitude of shorebirds. On each of these occasions, you will be greeted at the trail start by an MVFN member who will point out directions to the tower. An expert birder with a spotting scope will be on the tower and will give all who attend an opportunity to learn the identity of the different birds and tell a bit about them. Birding experts will include Mike Jaques, Sept. 7; Ken Allison, Sept.
14 and 21; and Ray Holland, Sept. 28. Directions to the trail and tower: from Almonte, take Wolf Grove Road (County Rd. 16) towards Middleville, 2 km. Turn north onto Ramsay Concession 8 at the Auld Kirk church and cemetery, and travel approximately 100-metres to the trailhead. The trail entrance is on Ramsay Concession 8, across the road from, and just past, the cemetery. A small yellow sign marks the entrance. For further information, call or email Cliff Bennett at 613-2565013 or bennett@magma.ca. Visit mvfn.ca for other club information. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists
Above, a small sign on Concession 8 Ramsay marks the entrance to a short trail to the Potvin Observation Tower in Almonte. This month, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists are planning a series of birding open houses at the tower.

Unusual failure leads reader to seek advice from Car Counsellor “Hi Brian, I am writing regarding a shifter assembly problem with my 2012 SUV. The week of Aug. 1, I started to notice difficulty moving the stick shift out of park and as the week progressed, so did the difficulty. I contacted my local dealership and they quickly got me in. At this point I was having to deactivate the shiftlock override to move it out of park. Later that day I was informed that I required a new shifter assembly. Realizing that I couldn’t drive the car without this unit I instructed my service advisor to proceed with replacing the unit. The next day I picked up my car and the bill. The unit was $501 and the labor was $196. I questioned the ‘defective’ term used on the invoice and was informed that the vehicle maker has a new supplier for the part. The mileage on my car at service was 60,615 km. I have owned six cars previously and have never come across this issue, nor have I heard of it before. Could you please let me know what you think of this situation? With many thanks. CS Sorry to hear of these SUV troubles. Yes this does seem to be an unusual failure for a vehicle with such low mileage, however component failures can occur at any time on the best or worst of vehicles. If the carmaker chose a new supplier for this shifter, it may be a sign that they had higher than expected failures or that a contract was up and a cheaper source was found. That component would have been covered under the manufacturer’s basic warranty plan of three years or
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
60,000 km (whichever occurs first). A 2012 model year would most likely be beyond the time limit. Most carmakers allow their retailers to make policy decisions to offer goodwill coverage for part or all of a vehicle repair for defects within certain time and mileage limits past the original coverage. I’m not sure of this maker’s specific limits. The best place to start would be by asking the service manager at the dealership if the auto company could be of any assistance with the cost of this repair. If they can’t help, then getting in touch directly with the manufacturer through their consumer hotline would be the next route. Whether or not this leads to any compensation, it’s important to let them know of this failure and the resulting dissatisfaction it has caused. “Hi Brian, I wonder if you might be familiar with the regulations involved for importing used vehicles from the US. In particular, I am interested in the purchase and import of motorhomes because there are not only more available, but there is also a price advantage. Naturally I keep hearing contradictory opinions about the practicality of this idea, and yet I know that RV dealers often stock their lots with these imports. I appreciate that warranty can be a problem, but I am looking for
used units where that has expired, and some minor modifications may be required to satisfy Canadian standards. Your opinion would be appreciated.” HP Great question. Importing a vehicle from the US isn’t necessarily complicated but there are many considerations and regulations to take into account. The best place to start is with the Registrar of Imported Vehicles for Canada. This is the body responsible for importing vehicles. They have a very helpful website at https://www. riv.ca/ImportingAVehicle. aspx. Take the time to read all of the related information carefully. Start with the admissible vehicles list to see what motorhomes are even allowed to be registered here in Canada. The list is considerably shorter than that for passenger cars and light trucks in terms of models and model-years. Printing off and keeping a copy of this list is a must before shopping for a US motorhome. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@ perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume I can’t always promise replies.)

The secret to growing gigantic tubs of red geraniums Ever since I moved into the hamlet of McDonald’s Corners five years ago and walked down to the shop, there opposite, is a tiny house with two gigantic tubs of bright red geraniums. Every year they are bigger and better, I asked the owner if he would share his secret of success. They belong to Ralph Lehman who originally purchased them in 2005, 11 years ago. Ever since then he has seen them grow and flourish, and now they are like pets! The large tubs are watered daily with one gallon of water and fertilized every second week with an all purpose liquid fertilizer. They face south, enjoying both the early and late sunshine, they are carefully deadheaded with garden snip, not roughly pulled off. When I visited there were more than
THEATRE
From page 28
“Before one of the performances I remember standing onstage behind the curtain, and the orchestra playing the first few notes. I looked around me at the other actors, all focused, all in costume, and I thought about what I was about to do: become a 19th-century French criminal, and sing songs, and tell a sweeping, moving, epic story. It’s there that I decided that I wanted to do that for the rest of my life.” Elsdon did most of his training at George Brown Theatre School, but the first acting class he ever took taught him that “acting is not pretending to have an experience, acting is having the experience, the interior experience.” The musically-inclined Elsdon has also appeared in Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash and Buddy: The Buddy
McDonald’s Corners resident Ralph Lehman stands with one of two large tubs of red geraniums he has been proudly nurturing for the past 11 years.

OHIOHEALTH Holly Story, a role he truly loved both because he played the title role and because “I got to be in a band, playing rock music, night after night for thousands of people. It’s so awesome!” Another favourite role was playing opposite his wife, Kate Ross, in Mary’s Wedding, which they performed in a rural barn. “It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking, poetic show about love and loss and war. It was a gorgeous production, with live sound and music; it was very moving, especially to be acting opposite my wife.” Elsdon also works as a writer with the Storefront Theatre Playwright’s Unit, a major hub of Toronto’s independent theatre scene. “I love writing. I think acting has informed my ear for dialogue, as well as my understanding of stage business. As a writer you need to see the whole picture, see the plot and how
different personalities interact. When you’re acting, you need to know your character inside and out, and then react to the events as they unfold. You live in the moment, whereas when I’m writing I need to write the moments and then take a bird’s eye view. His newest play, Superheroes, was developed as part of their Playwright’s Unit, and received a public reading in May. Burkholder and Elsdon both like playing characters in a mystery where audiences might at first have difficulty relating to individuals who are suspects in a criminal case. “Sheila Birling is very sensitive and has an innate ability to detect things,” Burkholder says. “She’s passionate and I think she feels things very deeply. I believe that it’s her empathy and her desire to want to change (and change the environment around her) that is redeeming. I love playing a character
who is so invested in making a huge change.” Elsdon likes Croft because “he’s someone with a good heart who has made a big mistake and is struggling to understand what it means and what to do about it. Who among us can’t relate to that? The prospect of having to shift our entire worldview is a terrifying one, and that’s what is being asked of him by the Inspector and Sheila.” To see these characters as they make their way to the last line of the play, before which no one is quite sure who is responsible for the death of a young woman, tickets can be purchased at www. classictheatre.ca or 1-877-2831283.

It’s probably safe to give latest Jason Statham offering a pass MOVIE: The Mechanic: Resurrection STARRING: Jason Statham, Jessica Alba, Sam Hazeldine, Michelle Yeoh and Tommy Lee Jones DIRECTOR: Dennis Gansel RATING: 14A I suppose if you’re in the Jason Statham fan club you’re under an obligation to see The Mechanic: Resurrection. Otherwise I think it’s safe to skip it. After faking his death Bishop (Jason Statham) has tried to live a quieter life. Of course that can’t last, or there’s no movie. Crain (Sam Hazeldine), an enemy from Bishop’s past, has found him and is forcing him to do three assassinations. How does one force the world’s deadliest assassin to do anything? Easy, you set him up with the beautiful Gina (Jessica Alba). You then kidnap the beautiful Gina, and hold her hostage until Bishop does the job. The best part is even though Bishop knows that is what’s happening he’s still going to try and save her. This leaves Bishop with three men to kill. Each one is heavily guarded, and impossible to get

MARK HASKINS
to. Each one is a perfect example of human scum, and all the assassinations have to look like accidents. This is what Bishop does, and why we bought a ticket to see the movie. The Mechanic: Resurrection or Transporter 7 or whatever it is suffers from what a lot of sequels suffer from. Statham has gone to this well a lot, and it’s probably at least three times too many. Statham is the deadly assassin who has to take on the almost as deadly villain in order to save the girl. Throw in some intricate assassinations, and some cool fight scenes, and you have every action movie Statham has ever done. The film does have its moments. The director finds every excuse possible to have Statham and Alba in their bathing suits. The action sequences are pretty slick. There’s a reason why Statham keeps making these films after all. The story
is weak at best, but who goes to one of these films because of the deep and meaningful writing? It adds up to an okay movie if you catch it on Netflix, but hardly worthy of the big screen. This isn’t what you’d call a character-driven film. It’s more important that the cast can throw a punch than deliver a line. That said, Michelle Yeoh and Tommy Lee Jones are pleasant surprises. Sam Hazeldine plays a stock villain like every other actor who has to play this same villain in all the other films. Jessica Alba makes an attempt to make her character something other than a plot device that needs to be saved, but it isn’t really a direction the film is prepared to go. After playing the character countless times Jason Statham is really good at it. He does tremendous stunt work, but it’s time to do something new. Some people like to see the same film over and over again. They like the familiarity. If you’re one of those people you should probably still avoid The Mechanic: Resurrection. Even you will be bored. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

New state-of-the-art retirement home broke ground in Kemptville Aug. 31 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
One big step for North Grenville. Kemptville Retirement Living - a 120,000 square foot, 98 unit facility - broke ground Aug. 31. “Welcome everyone and thank you for being here to share this exciting day,” said Lucie Lapointe, co-owner of KVRL and president of LAP Enterprises. “We have been planning this moment for over three years. At last, we are very proud to begin construction of Kemptville Retirement Living. This project could not have been accomplished without the help and support of so many people.” The facility, located at
2950 County Road 43, is slated to open March 1, 2018. “Special thanks has to go to the residents of North Grenville and the seniors of the community who have supported us from the start,” said Lapointe. “To the Kemptville seniors, I sincerely hope you will feel at home at Kemptville Retirement Living. You will definitely be in good hands with our managing partner Eric Chartrand. Our open door policy will always ensure that family, volunteers, community groups and residents will be encouraged to participate in the activities and life of our residents.” “With much excitement, I welcome you,” said Char-

happiness. My priority, once again, will be to build that dynamic team like I already have in Russell Meadows. “Also, we’ll have a senior council, representing all the seniors of the home,” he added. “Their family members, staff and volunteer teams will reach out to the community, such as church-
es, home support, service clubs, schools, the arena, the library, local businesses and the local media to help complete this home.” Chartrand introduced Jim Beveridge, owner of B&H Grocer in Kemptville, whose father lived at Russell Meadows for three years. See Kemptville page K3

Factory Bridge in Oxford Mills is getting new guardrails.

Guardrails did not meet crash standards CONTINUED

“That bridge is also getting an overlay and waterproofing,” said Lamb. She explained the asphaltic waterproofing is similar to rubber. “When water sits on concrete, it penetrates because it’s porous and gets into the rebar,” she said. The guardrails will also be replaced to box beam guardrails and post. “The old concrete posts are disintegrated around the base,” Lamb noted. Additional work being done on Sloan’s Bridge includes: replacing existing end joints with armoured expansion joints (including drainage system) and removing and reconstructing
upper sections of wingwalls. The other county bridge slated for rehabilitation work in North Grenville is Hanlan’s Bridge in Oxford Mills. “That bridge is being done next year,” said Lamb. “We found a barn swallow nest under Hanlan’s Bridge, so we have to net it at the appropriate time of year and build a temporary home for them.” The extensive work on the docket for Hanlan’s Bridge includes: an overlay, waterproofing and re-paving the structure, removing and reconstructing deck overhangs, removing existing deck drains, removing and replacing existing expansion joints with new strip seal joints (including drainage system), replacing the guardrails with new steel panel box beam traffic barriers, removing and
reconstructing upper sections of wingwalls, jacking the structure and replacing the bearings, partial depth concrete repairs on pre-stressed girders at the ends, removing and replacing approach steel beam guiderail including end treatments, and removing and replacing the concrete curb and gutter on approaches. The five-project contract, which includes Smiley’s Bridge, north of Maitland and Butler Creek Culvert, east of North Augusta, was awarded to Willis Kerr Contracting. The cost of each project, excluding taxes, is as follows: $360,394 for Sloan’s Bridge, $192,455 for Factory Bridge, $637,176 for Hanlan’s Bridge, $278,910 for Smiley’s Bridge and $173,142 for Butler Creek Culvert.

“I’m usually not the one coming out and speaking at public events, but for this one, I thought I make an exception,” said Beveridge. “It was unfortunate that Dad had to leave this community to go somewhere else, but we could not have been any luckier than to be able to get him into Russell Meadows with the team that Eric has assembled there,” he said. “Dad, for many who knew him, was very much a business man and when he was there, he had a very strong belief he was part of the ownership. Eric and his team were very accommodating and would put up with him. He had things he thought should be done and they hadn’t got around to doing, but as time went on, I realized that was a very special relationship growing where they were really becoming Dad’s extended family.” Mayor David Gordon called Lapointe up to the podium to toast her and wish her best of luck with the project moving forward. “I know it’s going to be successful,” said Gordon. “You couldn’t ask for a better resume than Jim Beveridge because he speaks from the heart and if Jim says that you looked after his father, I totally believe him.”

New hospital board chair focuses on opportunities to expand clinical services Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Karen Cooper, the new Kemptville District Hospital board chair, is used to volunteering her time for the greater good. “I’ve lived in Kemptville since 1998,” she explained. “Over the years, myself and various members of my family have needed the services at the hospital and because of my professional background, I thought it was the best place to make a contribution to the community.” Cooper, a mother of two, appreciates the necessity of having a hospital close to home. “I’m glad it’s here and I want to make sure it stays here.” Cooper has sat on many boards, including Big Brother Big Sisters of Ottawa and the Eastern Ontario Biodiversity Museum. She is also the current chair of the Canadian Land Trust Alliance. “That’s my other area of volunteer interest; protecting natural spaces,” said Cooper. “It’s the work I like doing.” A tax lawyer by trade, 90 per
cent of her clients are charities and not-for-profits. “I have the best clients in the whole world. Some of the work I do is not the most exciting – corporate and tax law – but it’s all for folks who are trying to make a difference.” When Cooper is not busy going through legal documents, manning volunteer boards or taking her kids to hockey and baseball, she dabbles in teaching. “I teach law at University of Ottawa. I also teach tax to lawyers. We’re a busy family.” Over the next couple of years, the hospital will focus on implementing the recently adopted strategic plan. “We’re focused on moving forward, innovating and developing programs to provide better care closer to home,” said Cooper. Another goal is to improve the process of discharging patients. “Making sure that discharge is supported by our local hospital when people transition home,” she explained. A broader range of clinical services is also on the docket. “So there’s less of a need
to drive into Ottawa for outpatient surgeries. Some of the surgeries folks have to go into Ottawa for now, we’re hoping explore options to have them done at our hospital so people don’t have to go into the city.” Continuing to improve patient experience and satisfaction is another area the hospital is focused on. “Our most immediate goal is the accreditation process, which is due to be renewed in November,” said Cooper. “We were accredited with exemplary standing, so we’re hoping to achieve that again. It’s been a long two years, getting a new CEO, the accreditation process, getting the strategic plan approved,” she continued. “Now the job is to knuckle down and deliver.” The recent grant the hospital received of $416,000 for infrastructure renewal will be used for projects like crucial repairs to the roof of the 1960s era wing of the hospital. This year marks the sixth Cooper has served on the KDH Board of Directors and her first in the role as chair. “Hospitals and health care in Ontario is highly complex.”

Local moms plan Great Gower Run Kelly McCarthy
kmccarthy@metroland.com
Youth are the future – and a group of moms in North Gower want to make sure their local youth have what they need to succeed. Four women – Jennifer Williams, Andrea Ross, Rosanna Dolinki and Tara HawkinsKavanagh – have started an initiative to fundraise for local youth with their first event: the Great Gower Run. This inaugural event, scheduled for Oct 1., will direct all proceeds to local youth community initiatives in North Gower and youth mental health and wellness initiatives across Ottawa. “We want to get the kids off the streets,” said Jennifer Williams, adding that since there are not many activity options for youth nearby in North Gower, the popular thing to do is walk around town. “A lot of people complain about kids being on the streets all the time.” The idea to host the Great Gower Run came to the group of women, Andrea Ross said, when they had the idea to create a skatepark or youth centre in the community.
“Two of us are runners,” she said, “so it made sense to organize a run.” The Great Gower Run will include 2K, 5K and 10K distance options and a toddler run for the younger ones. The 5K and 10K are professionallytimed, and the 2K distance is family friendly – strollers and leashed pets are welcome. Races will start at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre (2300 Community Way, North Gower) on Oct. 1 at 9:30 a.m. for the 2K and at 10:15 a.m. for the 5K and 10K. Registration can be done online in advance of the Sept. 29 deadline at www.greatgowerrun.wixsite.com/2016. Each race, Ross said, will be completed on closed roads, with the exception of a portion of the 10K that will be completed on low traffic roads. In addition to snacks after the races, the Great Gower Run will also boast wellness tents with complementary cupping – a deep tissue massage involving heated glass cups applied to the skin – and acupuncture done by local naturopathic medicine outlet Vis Tree. Organizers are also hoping to have a barbecue going
throughout the day, both for runners and their cheering squads. The Great Gower Run happens to fall on the eve of the North Gower firefighters’ food drive, and so donations of canned goods and other nonperishable items will be accepted throughout the day as well. For their own cause, Williams and Ross said they hope to see 300 runners participate in their first event. So far, they have at least 165 registered and the number keeps climbing. “The more, the better,” Williams said. “It’s for our youth so we want to see as many people as we can.” The Great Gower Run is the first in a series of fundraisers the moms hope to host in the upcoming months to put towards their goal of creating more youth resources in their community. “We’re not sure where we want to go with it yet,” said Ross. “But we know we want to do something.” More information on the Great Gower Run, including registration details, can be found at www.greatgowerrun. wixsite.com/2016.

BIA optimistic about potential collaboration with municipality and chamber of commerce Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
This could be a partnership of economic proportions. The Old Town Kemptville BIA and the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce, through the North Grenville Economic Development Advisory Committee, have come together to discuss a potential partnership. “(Coun.) Donovan Arnaud brought us together,” said Debbie Wilson, the new chair of the BIA and co-owner of Grahame’s Bakery in Kemptville. She explained the biggest issue facing the BIA is the dwindling membership. “We need more bodies. Like the Friends of the Library, we need Friends of Downtown Kemptville to sit on our board and help us,” she said. The BIA’s mandate is not about planning special events, Wilson exSubmitted photo plained, “it’s about attracting new businesses to downtown.” New signs, financed in part by the BIA, are going up on County Road 43 to direct traffic towards downThanks to the always generous North Grenville residents, the North Gren- town. The signs will be in place in ville Fire Service proudly raised $8,130 for their annual muscular dystro- time for the North Grenville Doors Open event on Sept. 24. The BIA, in phy boot drive held on Aug. 26.

collaboration with the North Grenville Historical Society, are erecting 10 plaques in front of historical buildings downtown for the event. “We just want to see people come together and keep things going,” Wilson said. A committee is being struck to plan an Old Town Kemptville Christmas this year, in conjunction with the Santa Claus parade. “We’re looking to make sure Spooky Kemptville is in the works for Halloween this year, just on a smaller scale,” she noted. Working alongside the economic development committee is something Wilson is excited about. “John Barclay (BIA member) is working with the economic development committee on a pop-up shop program,” said Wilson. “Basically, businesses can come in and rent space for a short period of time, like if you have a bunch of Christmas stuff you wanted to sell. It’s a good opportunity for business owners to test the waters.” Collaborating with the chamber and municipality signifies “pulling together in the right direction.” Tom Graham, of TD Graham & Associates, and Arnaud are chairing the discussions between the chamber
and the BIA. The goal, in essence, is for the chamber and BIA to join forces to attract businesses to Kemptville and share one office in the downtown core. “We’d love to see the BIA expand to the triangle (Rideau and Sanders Street up to Mac’s),” Wilson said. She explained there is a misconception that the BIA is able to close the downtown core for big festivals and events. “It’s too expensive, for insurance, to do those types of things,” Wilson remarked. The BIA aims to increase pedestrian flow downtown and create a food hub of restaurants. “We want to see everyone do well in business here,” said Wilson. “I think the downtown has so much to offer.” She explained renters in downtown don’t realize they have the same right to participate in the BIA as the building owners. They can sit on the board or run for the executive committee. The Kemptville Farmers’ Market has also helped raise the profile of downtown. “We’re all working towards the same goal,” Wilson stressed.

Fill-The-Bus brings in $872 and 1,787 pounds of food for House of Lazarus Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Wow. The call went out and the community answered. Empty rooms at the House of Lazarus (HOL) in Mountain are now filled from floor to ceiling with food thanks to the generosity of the community. The second annual Fill-The-Bus event, held on Aug. 26, brought in $872 and 1,787 pounds of food for the HOL food bank. Two buses, donated by Lannin Bus Line and Wubs Transit, were stationed outside Jonsson’s Independent Grocer and the Kemptville Walmart. “Food-wise, we did phenomenal at Walmart,” explained Kim Merkley, manager of client services at HOL. “At the Independent, we got a lot more money.” Volunteers handed out a card with needed items listed as shoppers entered both stores. “Everything that was on our list was on sale,” said Merkley. “People were
coming out with cartloads. It was just amazing.” One older couple pushed out an entire cart full of food and removed one bag. Merkley assumed they were donating the bag, but instead they said everything in the cart was for the food bank. Another woman, with three young kids, brought out one of everything on the list for the food bank. “We’ve always had great success in Kemptville; it’s such a giving community,” Merkley noted. Last year’s Fill-The-Bus event brought in $559 and 679 pounds of food, about a third of what was collected this year. “It was a huge success because of the community,” said Merkley. Very rarely did people pass by the volunteers without taking a card or exit the stores without making a donation of some kind. “The whole reception of what we were doing was phenomenal. I couldn’t believe it,” she said.
The food bank is now well-stocked with needed back-to-school items for local kids, including juice boxes and granola bars. “The food bank is full again,” said Merkley. Upcoming events for HOL The 30th anniversary supper, in support of the HOL, will be held at the Mountain Township Agricultural Hall on Sept. 14. All funds raised through ticket sales for the dinner, which cost $25 each, will go directly to the HOL thanks to generous sponsorship from the Scotiabank in South Mountain and Leather Works Catering. Tickets are available at Scotiabank and at the HOL. The event will feature live music and a roast beef supper. For more information about upcoming events, or to donate, visit the House of Lazarus at 2245 Simms Street in Mountain or call 613-9893830. You can also visit the HOL website at www.houseoflazarus.com.

Fundraising efforts are still going strong for the Merrickville Bridge to Canada (MBC), which seeks to bring a Syrian refugee family to the community through a joint sponsorship program with the government. “It’s going to happen,” said Graeme Bonham-Carter, MBC communications co-ordinator. “We’re not worried about the timing. What we’re really turning our attention to at the moment is fundraising.” To date, the MBC group has raised $11,000. Their goal is to raise a minimum of $25,000, with $30,000 being the desired amount. “We are always seeking donations,” said Bonham-Carter. Currently, MBC is running a raffle for two day passes to the Nordik Spa in Quebec. Tickets are available for $2 each, or three for $5, at Healthily Ever After in Merrickville. The draw date will be Oct. 15. “The next raffle we do will be for Ottawa Senators tickets,” said Bonham-Carter. “The plan is to have the draw around Christmas.” Local high school students are also selling raffle tickets to help the cause. “One thing we’re finding very successful is having school kids sell tickets as part of their community service hours,” he stated. “The raffles don’t bring in huge money, but they do make people more aware of our group.” A benefit golf tournament is planned for Sept. 16 at the Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club just outside of Smiths Falls, as well. Foursomes can register to play by emailing MBC members Fred McFarland at fjm@ripnet.com or Jacques Pelletier at jacquespelletier@me.com. The cost is $55 per player for nine holes of golf, a cart and lunch, or $25 just for lunch. The event will feature gifts for the golfers and a silent auction. “We also have a dinner coming up at the end of November,” said Bonham-Carter. The dinner, which follows the same concept as the annual Village Chef events, will be held at the Mainstreet Restaurant in Merrickville. “We’re going to serve Syrianthemed food and have a Syrian folk singer coming from Brockville,” Bonham-Carter remarked. A winter concert is also in the works, but details have not yet been confirmed. “We have a whole bunch of things going on,” said Bonham-Carter. “Our difficulty is it’s hard getting people steamed up without a family in place. I think we missed out on the early spur of enthusiasm.” “We’re going to get there, it’s just

Gardener’s Corner
The very bad and the very good “Do you want the good news or the bad news?” Strangely, most of us want the bad news first and then the good news. so I will continue with that format. The bad news. “You have cancer.” I heard those words four months ago. Our neighbour and fellow gardener a month later. It really does focus your attention on the important things in life. When someone tells you that your time for growing may be limited, you start to think differently. You have a choice. Fight it or resign. Gardeners don’t give up easily. We’ve seen enough failures but many more success stories. So that’s it for the bad news. We move on. My prostate cancer was caught early and the latest pathology after surgery says I’m clear. Good news. Our neighbour has not been as fortunate but she has a crack team of doctors and has been accepted for clinical trials to fine tune the therapy. I spoke at length with her today and I can guarantee she will be back in the garden. She has everything she needs. Good health going in, great family support and attitude. With all the depressing events of the last few months, there have been highlights. Today we had our private (condemned) hydro pole replaced. The contractor showed up on time, coordinated with Hydro One and the Electrical Safety Authority. The whole process was flawless. I offered garden ripe tomatoes to any of the crews that would enjoy. There were a
bunch of tomatoes that went home in a Hydro One truck or with the contractor. Last week I loaded up the van and did a little rural road trip along the shore of the St. Lawrence river to deliver some of our bounty to the foodbank in Prescott and to friends, my sister and the kids. Another trip planned for tomorrow. I don’t think it’s the produce or the jams and jellies that make the impression. It’s just the thought that someone was thinking about you and took the time. Our neighbour Nancy, with all her concerns was preoccupied with finding the chicken rice soup in the freezer that is a favourite of her grandson. Forget the Chemo, lets find the chicken soup! The last few months have had their share of bad news but there have also been moments of hope and encouragement. Isn’t that what we do as gardeners? We plant the seed, care as best we can and when things go well, we share. Not just the product but the purpose of growing. These last few months have taught me something new. Darkness is always displaced by light and the hope it brings. It’s that simple. A few tomatoes, a jar of jam, some chicken rice soup and all of a sudden the very bad turns into the very good.

OPINION
I
A perfect date
love the drive-in. There is something so nostalgic about pulling in, parking on the grass, walking to the ‘60s style snack bar to load up on treats, cranking the radio and craning your neck for hours of unequivocal entertainment. I would go every weekend if the movies didn’t play past my bedtime. I took my oldest son to the drive-in this past Saturday to see Pete’s Dragon and Bad Moms. We loaded up on way too many treats. Chocolate is a weakness we both share, although I am still annoyed he hoarded the M&M’s. He got a slushy. I stuck with coffee, to keep my brain awake enough to drive home after. When the first movie started, his eyes lit up. I think the last time we went to the drive-in I was pregnant with the twins. Way too long ago. During intermission, we raced to the snack bar to beat the washroom lines and then, of course, got more snacks. As soon as Bad Moms started, I knew it was massively inappropriate. I covered his ears and eyes more times than I care to say, all while laughing hysterically. He actually liked Bad Moms more than the first movie, because as he explained to me afterwards, it’s a movie about how “all moms are crazy.” Touché child. When the movie finished, we headed back out onto the road for the long trek home to

ometimes you get to choose your family members. That honorary aunt or uncle may not be related to you by blood but they are there for you when you need someone one-step-removed from family to confide in. They know you like family, but the other complications aren’t there. They aren’t as likely to flip out if you tell them something shocking – that distance allows them to just take it all in stride and give you wise, objective advice. Colette was that person for me. She didn’t have children of her own and her beloved husband had passed away so she was always very interested in what was going on in our lives. Colette was my grandmother’s best friend over the last 20 years or so. Maybe 30. She was part of all our family celebrations and gatherings, and we loved her like family. Colette had been suffering with a bad back that wouldn’t heal, in recent months. She didn’t make it to our last few gatherings, and that wasn’t like her. She lost her footing a few days ago and fell. She never did wake up. The doctors discovered she was also full of cancer. It was in her
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION Kemptville. We were talking and laughing and joking. I know they say you can’t be friends with your kids, but my kid is cooler than most adults, so once in a while I can break the rules. Then we started singing along to the radio. It was great. And then something happened that hadn’t happened in years. My son fell asleep on my arm. Knowing I am writing about this will surely mortify him, but I have to tell you it was one of the best things to happen to me all year. He slept on me until I could no longer feel my arm - it was really nice. For 30 minutes, my big boy needed me. Well, my arm at least. The hardest part of being a parent is realizing your kids don’t need you as much anymore. My son won’t even let me kiss him in public, for fear of being spotted by one of his friends. But for that half an hour, I was transported back in time to when we would snuggle and read stories together. Now, he reads his own books and only snuggles when bribed. It was the perfect end to the perfect date.

bones. That explains why she didn’t get better and the pain never went away. The pain is gone now. For as long as I can remember, Colette has been the life of the party. She would laugh loudly and raucously, over Dad’s dirty jokes, especially if he mixed her a drink that was a bit too stiff. She was also very fond of my long-legged, handsome husband, because he reminded her of her man, whom she had lost when they were still very much in love. She asked about and remembered every detail of my daughters’ lives, and was as thrilled about the new grandbaby as the rest of us. I like to imagine her somewhere now, resting painlessly, her best self, maybe dancing, with her beloved Garnet. Or maybe she is enjoying cocktail hour
with my Dad. It is his 75th birthday, after all. When Dad was sick, in 2007, he told me he dreamed of a place where people were dancing. The men could dance as well as the women – they were doing the jive. There were lots of colourful, gleaming sports cars parked outside, and dozens of dogs running around. I told him it sounded like his perfect Heaven. Colette and I never had a similar conversation but if I had to guess, her Heaven would be full of tall, handsome men (the ability to dance would be ideal), fine, beautiful things like gold jewellery, crystal and flowers, and maybe a horse or a dog or two. No cats. Colette was terrified of cats, which I discovered when she was at the farm one day and a bold barn cat chose to rub up against her leg. (Why do they always go for the people who don’t like them?) We will miss Colette and her sage advice, her raunchy sense of humour and her zest for life. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we will likely fill the house again with about 40 people but there is a trend happening. The elderly members of our tribe are
leaving us slowly, and the younger ones are coming up to fill the places at the table with their chosen mates and friends. This year we have a new addition, as it is Leti’s first Thanksgiving. She will be 10 months old and ready to try some of the traditional feast. Hopefully she will also have a tooth or two by then, to help her eat it. Also at our table will be three or four people not related by blood, but part of the family just the same. They are part of our group because we love and care for them and we want to celebrate life with them at this traditional time of year. And gathered around us, the silent guests at every family dinner.
Because they haven’t really left us. They’ve just gone on ahead. We keep them with us through our stories and memories and toasts, delivered teary-eyed, with glasses held high. On the subject of Thanksgiving, if you too are hosting a large group, consider serving them a farm-raised turkey. Ours start at about 25 lbs each. The Kemptville Farmers’ Market will be open until Thanksgiving as well, featuring the bounty of many local farms and gardens. www.dianafisherbooks.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

Chief superintendent Harkins fills the vacancy created by the retirement of the former regional commander, Dan Redmond. “Chief superintendent Harkins brings vast and varied experience to his new role. He has a strong understanding of the issues, challenges and opportunities facing not only the members of the OPP, but also the residents of eastern Ontario,” said OPP deputy commissioner Gary Couture. Originally from the Pembroke area, Harkins has been a member of the OPP for more than 26 years. He has served in the Killaloe and Upper Ottawa Valley de-
tachments, has been commander of the physical surveillance unit, section manager of the analytical section of the provincial operations intelligence bureau, deputy director of the organized crime enforcement bureau and as executive officer for three former deputy commissioners and a former provincial commander.

Harkins oversees more than 1,200 uniformed and civilian members responsible for providing front-line and specialized
policing services. East Region covers 43,000 square kilometers with 16-host and 15-satellite detachments. “I couldn’t be more proud to be appointed to my new position in East Region. I look forward to working with the dedicated members of the OPP as we rise to meet the challenges of policing such a large, diverse area,” Harkins said. Harkin’s father, the late Terry Harkins, served with the OPP auxiliary for 35 years, retiring as the auxiliary’s only chief superintendent. Harkins’ mother still lives in the Pembroke area.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON
Health Canada moving quickly to control chemicals used to make fentanyl Canada is experiencing a growing number of opioid overdoses and deaths across the country, and days such as the International Overdose Awareness Day are bringing needed attention to this crisis. The Government of Canada is committed to addressing this complex public health issue. The severity of this crisis in Canada requires that governments work together and move as fast as possible in order to confront the issue from all sides. As part of the federal government’s commitment to take action to address the national opioid crisis, Health Canada is proposing to move forward with plans to restrict six chemicals used in the production of fentanyl, originally put forward by Senator Vern White’s Senate Public Bill S-225, An Act to Amend the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act (substances
used in the production of fentanyl). This regulatory proposal would achieve the intent of Senator White’s Bill in an expeditious fashion, and add these substances to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) and the Precursor Control Regulations (PCR), meaning that their unauthorized importation and exportation would be illegal. “Thanks to the work already done by Senator White, we are able to quickly take this step to restrict chemicals used in the production of fentanyl. Our government is taking a comprehensive, collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to addressing this public health crisis. There is much more work to be done, and I look forward to convening a summit this fall to work with my colleagues from across Canada to address the ongoing opioid crisis,” said Jane Philpott, Minister
of Health. Fentanyl misuse first became prominent with the diversion of pharmaceutical forms of the drug, such as the patch. However, in recent months, the RCMP has reported an increase in domestic production of illicit fentanyl. Health Canada regularly monitors the emergence of new substances onto the illicit drug market and works closely with law enforcement to address them as quickly and efficiently as possible. Opioid misuse is a complicated issue and there is no single step that is going to win this battle. Government action must be multifaceted and dynamic in order to confront this crisis. By proposing to schedule chemicals that are used to make illicit fentanyl, the Government of Canada is using yet another tool to fight the opioid crisis by addressing the production and supply sides of the problem.
The proposed scheduling of fentanyl precursors complements the new opioid action plan announced by Philpott in June 2016. The plan includes a national opioid summit to be held this fall by the Minister of Health, and focuses on better informing Canadians about the risks of opioids, supporting better prescribing practices, reducing easy access to unnecessary opioids, supporting better treatment options, and improving the national evidence base. The government also supports harm reduction strategies, including safe injection sites. Did you know… • The Government of Canada is supporting MP Ron McKinnon’s Private Member’s Bill, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act, which would help encourage individuals who witness an overdose to call for
emergency help. • Access to Naloxone has been improved, and is now available to first responders, police and families without a prescription. Submitted by Health Canada

Local academy dance members meet Rockettes It was a dream come true for thirty dancers and parents from the Academy of Expressive Dance when they met members of the infamous Rockettes dance company from Radio City Music Hall in New York City. In early July, some academy members went on a four-day trip to New York City as part of the academy’s 25th anniversary celebrations. After visiting many tourist areas in the city, it was no surprise that the highlights of the trip were their workshop with a former Rockette, and their experience at Radio City Music Hall, touring and watching the Rockettes perform. Fourteen-year-old dancer Hope van Noppen said it was an amazing opportunity, one that she is glad she was privileged to experience. “It’s something that not everyone gets to do,” she said. “And the workshop was so relaxed and fun, but at the same time we were learning a lot and it was super exciting because we were learning from someone who has danced with one of the greatest dance companies in the world.” Academy adult dance student Shawna Stoodley said the class was challenging, but an incredibly fun time. “The private class was my highlight,” she said. “Everything from the warm up to techniques, she was high energy and encouraging. It was so much fun. We didn’t know an hourand-a-half had passed. It was a letdown when it was over.” The Rockettes are a precision dance company made up of 36 dancers, who have performed at Radio City Music Hall since 1932. Even though there may be a new influx of dancers every year, the company of dancers is not easy to break into. Spring and summer auditions draw 600 dancers from around the world, from all walks of life. Some Rockettes have auditioned up to 10 times, and even more, to be chosen.

Members of South Mountain’s Academy of Expressive Dance recently enjoyed a four-day trip to New York City as part of the academy’s 25th anniversary celebrations. One of the trip highlights was a workshop with a former member of the Rockettes dance company, above. Some are never chosen. This summer, the Rockettes performed the New York Spectacular showcasing their precision dancing, amazing costumes, and stunning choreography. They danced in the rain on stage, wore blazers that lit up and changed colour, as well as danced in their trademark precision line where they appear to dance as “one dancer.” Stoodley said they wondered during the show whether they were really dancing in the rain. “We wondered if it was an illusion, until we saw them tap and the water splash,” she said. “It was water, and it was amazing.” Academy of Expressive Dance owner and instructor Andrea GawPrekob, said watching the Rockettes dance was absolutely incredible. “What the Rockettes do is classical, edgy jazz. It is sleek and sassy without being suggestive,” she said. “The precision also has a whole, other-worldly
presence on stage.” Gaw-Prekob said she was glad her dancers could experience such high quality performances, both in the workshop and at Radio City Music Hall. “There is a lot of history with dance in New York, and if you want to dance you go to New York,” she said. “It was great for the girls to see. Their whole performance was more than inspiring.” Gaw-Prekob said she was also encouraged because the Rockettes perform the same style of ballet and jazz she teaches. “The Rockettes showed the students that the jazz we do at the studio is the authentic thing, without becoming what it has become in many places, more suggestive than anything else,” she said. “Seeing the Rockettes also showed the students how far they can take it: that what they are learning at the
dance studio is the kind of dance that has longevity. This style of jazz is timeless.” This classical jazz dance style is something that is becoming a dying art form, according to Gaw-Prekob, who is certified with the Canadian Dance Teachers’ Association. However, she adds that it is something that dance companies around the world are looking for, and it is something she offers local students. Located at her Latimer Road studio outside of South Mountain, her dance academy has been in operation for 25 years. The 2014-2015 season was spent celebrating with special activities, a masquerade ball, and culminated with the New York trip. Now, at the end of summer, she is anticipating another year of excellence, fun, and hard work. She offers classes four nights a week, as well as Saturdays, for students starting at age three. She offers boys, girls and adult students ballet, jazz, lyrical, and tap classes. Stoodley has been dancing with Gaw-Prekob for five years. Before that, her daughter Kaitlyn took classes. She said that “Andrea” is an awesome person and teacher. Her experiences dancing in the adult ballet-jazz class have become an important and essential part of her life. “She has the perfect balance of joy and fun, and professionalism,” Stoodley said, speaking of Gaw-Prekob. “She is not afraid to correct your mistakes, but she also laughs with you when you do, and that is something I need because in dance you make mistakes!” Stoodley also said that GawPrekob’s focus on the technical parts of dance, and her demand for excellence, were a huge part of her daughter’s growth and success as a dancer in only a few years. She said that if people are looking for professionalism, respect, technique, and a positive
fun-filled experience, the Academy of Expressive Dance is a great place to find it. It has been Gaw-Prekob’s passion and joy to teach people of all ages over the past 25 years. Even still, after all this time, she still finds it hard to put all that she believes and teaches into words. She does say that her dance philosophy centres on manners, self-respect, respect of others, and fun and enjoyment. “Dance is manners and respect,” she said. “Whether it be for the form, the peer, the friend, or your teacher. And at the same time it is also an expression and haven for people. The real world doesn’t exist in the dance studio. People come to process their personal life, and it is a perfect escape from troubles, while you are releasing your stress and discovering yourself.” Gaw-Prekob has worked hard for the past decades creating a place for the students where manners, respect, creativity, freedom, safe expression, safety and quality are all a part of the atmosphere of learning. In reflecting on the trip, Gaw-Prekob quoted George Balanchine, who was one of the 20th century’s most prominent choreographers, and also known as the father of American ballet. “He once said, ‘I don’t want people who want to dance, I want people who have to dance’,” she said. “There is nothing wrong with wanting to dance for fun, but needing to dance is something altogether different. It is absorbed into every aspect of your life. It becomes a part of you: in your job, in your school, in how you attack problems.” Gaw-Prekob said registration is now open for all of those who want, and need to dance. The Academy of Expressive Dance website, www. academyofexpressivedance.com, has registration information or call 613989-3418. Submitted by The Academy of Expressive Dance.

Two local men taking part in The Ride, aim to raise $3,000 for cancer research Staff
In just six years, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s premier cycling event, known simply as The Ride, has raised more than $10 million for cancer research. The event has helped fund new therapies and the opening of the Centre for Innovative Cancer Research (CICR) and enabled patients to benefit from clinic trials faster than ever before. Two local men will be among the cyclists taking part in The Ride on Sept. 11 this year. William Kollaard’s father, George, passed away from cancer 12 years ago. “The disease took us all by surprise and left an un-fillable hole in our family,” Kollaard states on his fundraising page for the event. “Research helps us Submitted photo better understand this complex disBill Kollaard and Robert Noseworthy are taking part in The Ride on ease.

Please help me by making a donation.” Robert Noseworthy is alive today because of cancer research that saved his life twice. “In 1988, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and was successfully treated and eventually received a life-changing bone marrow transplant from my sister, Helen,” Noseworthy states on his fundraising page for the event. “In 2005, I was diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma, and this time my cancer was successfully treated by the team at the Ottawa Hospital. Now, 28 years later, I am still here with two wonderful children, a productive and successful career and the ability to give back to my community, all as a result of life-saving cancer research.

Would you consider becoming a part of my ‘ride for research’ by also donating to this valuable cause?” In 2015, more than 21,000 patients were treated for cancer at the Ottawa Hospital, Noseworthy explained. “Many of them benefitted from the 200 cancer-related clinical trials currently underway. Research helps us better understand, hopefully resolve and potentially rid us of this complex disease. Please help me support groundbreaking discoveries in cancer research by making a donation today. Thank you in advance.” To sponsor Kollaard or Noseworthy for the ride, visit www.dotheride. ca, click sponsor a rider and type in their name.

North Gower author named a finalist in Two SNC sub-watersheds in international book award competition severe drought conditions Readers’ Favorite recognizes Gerlinda by North Gower author EmilyJane Hills Orford in its 2016 international book award contest. The 2016 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Contest featured thousands of contestants from more than a dozen countries. Readers’ Favorite has become the fastest growing book review and award contest site on the internet. They have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins, and have received the Best Websites for Authors and Honoring Excellence awards from the Association of Independent Authors. They are also fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating), which is a rarity among book review and book award contest companies. In addition to reviewing for some of the biggest names in the literary industry, as well as the first time independent author, they host a respected award contest which features entries from new authors to New York Times best-sellers, as well as celebrities like Jim Carrey and Henry Winkler. “Readers’ Favorite is proud to announce that Gerlinda by Hills Orford is a finalist in the Young Adult – Social Issues category in our 2016 International Book Award Contest,” noted Readers’ Favorite. All Gerlinda wanted was to be like every other girl in her class. She wanted to be accepted. Gerlinda uses her talent in athletics to attract the attention she so desires. It’s difficult, however, since her very abusive father, once a Nazi youth, leaves his mark for the world to see.

North Gower author Emily-Jane Hills Orford has been named a finalist in Readers’ Favorite’s International Book Award Contest in the young adult – social issues category for her book, Gerlinda.
Often covered in bruises and burn blisters, wearing scanty, thread-bare dresses, unclean and smelling bad, Gerlinda is the brunt of bullying at school. This was the 1960s, a time when people looked the other way, a time when a young girl had to make her own way just to survive. And all she really wanted was to belong. Learn more at https://readersfavor-
ite.com/book-review/gerlinda or on the author’s website at: http://emilyjanebooks.ca. Hills Orford is an award-winning author of several books, including To Be a Duke (CFA 2014) which was named finalist and silver medallist in the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards and received an honourable mention in the 2015 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. Here’s what reviewers are saying about Gerlinda: Jack Magnus writes for Readers’ Favorite: “Gerlinda is a beautifully written look at the not-so-distant past, and one can¹t help but notice the changes that have taken place in dealing with cases of domestic abuse and neglect. This preteen and new young adult novel is stunningly good, and it’s most highly recommended.” Serious Reading says: “Stories that will make you feel all the emotions at once; love, courage hatred, poverty, struggles, bullying, domestic abuse and other social evils, Emily-Jane’s Gerlinda beautifully portrays it all. With Gerlinda, the author has tried to voice the silent cries of kids affected by all such issues that have a devastating effect on their lives. Truly an inspiring read that will leave the readers in tears and feel sorry for Gerlinda and all the other kids who are going through this.” Award-winning author of Miller’s Tales, Gary Miller, writes: “Do not read this book to enjoy it, but to admire the writing skill of the author. Emily-Jane Hills Orford is a prolific writer and this may well be her best book yet.”
South Nation Conservation’s (SNC) Water Response Team is moving to a level III (severe) drought conditions for two subwatersheds within the SNC jurisdiction. The rest of the jurisdiction will continue to be in level II (moderate) drought conditions, as originally issued on July 8. The Bearbrook and Upper South Nation River (Spencerville) sub-watersheds are currently in severe drought conditions. Despite recent rainfalls, stream flows in these areas remain below the 30 per cent of normal summer flows. The rest of the SNC jurisdiction remains in level II with less than 50 per cent of normal summer monthly flows. The weather forecasts no significant rainfall in the next couple of weeks. Low water levels can impact fish habitat, affect crop yields and tree health of newly planted seedlings. Environment Canada’s three-
month forecast for August to October indicates above normal temperatures and normal precipitation for most of eastern Ontario. However, a significant amount of rainfall across the jurisdiction is required for conditions to return to normal. Residents, businesses and other industries throughout the jurisdiction are encouraged to reduce their water consumption by 50 per cent, by limiting non-essential water uses (e.g. lawn watering, car washing, etc.). Landowners should check with their local municipality for information on water and fire bylaws. Report any unusual waterrelated problems or dry wells to SNC by calling 1-877-984-2948, or emailing waterwatch@nation. on.ca.

KYMTC presents Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! Oklahoma!, the groundbreaking musical that ushered in the golden age of musical theatre, plays in the Urbandale Arts Centre from Sept. 16 to Oct. 2. This show marks the Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company’s (KYMTC) 21st full-length production and its first all ages show. It is also in support of youth mental health, so KYMTC is hoping to raise funds for the Do it For Daron charity. Also, Scotiabank has agreed to match funds up to $5,000. We are very grateful to Scotiabank and the support they show us! The 33-member cast features Phillip Konopka as Curly, Kathleen Lacelle as Laurey, Helen MacGregor as Aunt Eller, Caleigh Gallagher as Ado Annie, Joseph Lacelle as Will, Sam Horner as Ali Hakim, Jane Baird as Carnes, Pyper Johnston as Ike and Regan Blair as Gertie. Tickets, which are $15 each, are on sale
at Scotiabank and from members of the cast. Shows take place Sept. 16, 23, 24, 29 and Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 18, 25 and Oct. 2 at 2 p.m. The creative team includes artistic director Barbara Lacelle, producer Marilyn Conroy, music director Phillip Konopka, choreographer Kathleen Lacelle, scenic designer Bonnie Selleck, master builder Neil Conroy, costume designer Carolyn Bruce, lighting designers Kevin Colwell and Ben Primeau, sound designer Peter Miller and accompanist Erna Poettcker. The DIFD webpage states, “On Nov. 13, 2010, 14-year-old Daron Richardson died by suicide. From this tragedy came a movement to transform youth mental health. Spearheaded by Daron’s parents Luke and Stephanie Richardson, who decided to transform their very private pain into a public call-to-action, a decision was made to support young people who suffer in si-
lence from the pain and stigma of mental illness. Supported by the energy and efforts of dozens of Daron’s close friends and classmates, a grassroots movement was formed with the mission of creating awareness, inspiring conversations, and transforming youth mental health.” According to the website, each year Canada loses 200 youth to suicide and one in five children have an identifiable mental illness. Even though we don’t all suffer from depression, we can all relate because we have felt it. The sadness and hopelessness one feels when gripped by it can be devastating. We lost one of our members this year to depression. It was sudden and tragic. KYMTC is a family and part of a larger community of Kemptville. We care and we want you all to come and join us to help to raise awareness and funds for youth mental health. Submitted by KYMTC

Kemptville 73’s hockey returns for new season with 13 vets, 11 newcomers Brian Wilson
With summer on the way out, it’s time for a new hockey season. The Kemptville 73’s have been busy in the off-season. They held their first camp way back in May for draft picks and hopefuls. The successful candidates returned for the main camp, which was held in July. There were approximately 80 players trying to catch the coaching staffs’ attention by demonstrating their abilities and desire. The camp was made up of returning veterans, players from the under 18 midget team, invitees from the May camp and US players as well as walkons. The selections were invited back for the main training camp, which was held from Aug. 16 until Aug. 31. The players were whittled down until the opening day roster was settled. The opening day roster will start out with 13 returning vets and 11 newcomers. In the off season, due to various reasons, such as player age and trades, the majority of the starting defencemen all left the team. General manager Terry Nichols was left with a daunting task. The scouting system located likely candidates throughout eastern Canada and the northern states. He said, “Once you find them, then you have to get them to come here.” Of the newcomers, one was ac-
quired by trade, one was a frequent call up from Junior B last season and three came from Kemptville’s Under 18 AAA Midget team. Since that time, the team had seven players attended OHL camps. Cameron Bisson has been kept by the Niagara Ice Dogs and Matt Titus by the Mississauga Steelheads. The other five players have returned to the 73’s. CCHL commissioner Kevin Abrams stated for the upcoming season he expects more of the same results he saw last season. “We had races for playoff positions that went right to the wire and I hope for some improvement from the teams that weren’t quite there yet,” he said. He also has high hopes for season two of the Under 18 Midget AAA league. The results from year one have seen the Junior A teams adding players from the midget teams to their rosters. Many players have also found spots on Junior B rosters. The exhibition season saw the team play five games and end with a 4-1 record. The games featured a home and home series with the Kingston Voyageurs of the OJHL. Kemptville won both ends by scores of 10-1 and 5-3. All these games allowed the coaching staff to evaluate the players under different conditions and reach their final decisions for the 2016-17 roster. The CCHL season opened as usual
with a Showcase weekend featuring three games by all twelve teams in the league. In attendance were countless numbers of representatives of NHL teams, recruiters from NCAA Division 1 and Division 3 schools as well as CIS schools. Scouts from the OHL and QMJHL were also present. All teams had players being evaluated at for their futures in hockey. The 73’s opened their season with a game against the Cumberland Grads. Kemptville got things going by scoring just 1:02 into the game when Alex Row capitalized on an opportunity set up by the hard work of Jake Gaudet and Bobby Dow. Early in the second period Adam Alavi put the team up by two on the power play. The goal was set up by Tyson Kirkby and Matt Tugnutt. The Grads got one back on a power play to make it a 2-1 game. Taking advantage of another power play, Kemptville regained their twogoal lead. Neal Samanski and Dow’s crisp passing set up Gaudet for the goal. In the third, Cumberland put a scare into Kemptville, scoring to make it a 3-2 game. The rest of the period was a hard-fought end-to-end game until Kirkby ended it with an empty net goal with 8 seconds left. The final score was 4-2 for the 73’s. First star went to Jake Gaudet while Tyson Kirkby picked up third star honours.
Game two of the season was a match up between Kemptville and Gloucester. The game featured a ton of thunderous checks and flurries of shots at the Rangers goaltenders. Halfway through the first, Brady Elder and Zach Rodrigue sent Joe McGrath away on a breakaway and he made no mistake on his shot. Two minutes later, Alex Row converted some nifty passing from Bobby Dow and Nick Bissonette to make it 2-0. In the second period, at the 0:18 mark, Matt Tugnutt stole a clearing pass and beat the goaltender to make it 3-0. Before the frame was ten minutes old, Kemptville had made it 5-0, chasing the Rangers starting goalie. Scorers for Kemptville were Jake Gaudet and Adam Alavi. Picking up the assists were Jack R York, Damien Figueira, Row and Dow. Gloucester picked up new life from their goalie and scored twice before the end of the second, making the score 5-2. In the third, Kemptville finally solved the second Rangers goalie. Jack A York scored on point shot with the helpers going to Alexis Giguere and Dow. Gloucester scored one more to make it a 6-3 final and a win for Kemptville. Bobby Dow and Alex Row were named first and third stars of the game. The third game of the weekend featured a tilt between Kemptville and Kanata. The
73’s opened the scoring at 8:01 of the first when Tyler Beauparlant notched his first of the season from Tyson Kirkby and Bobby Dow. Jake Gaudet made it 2-0 on a great pass from Alex Row. Leading going into the second, the intensity picked up in the hitting and the speed of the game. The 73’s waited until the last three minutes of the period to make a statement. Matt Tugnutt and Adam Alavi set up Victor Tracy to make it 3-0. That was followed quickly when Tugnutt snapped in a shot on the power play. The assists went to Row and Tracy. The third period started with Kemptville holding a 4-0 lead when the Lasers capitalized on a power play to score their first goal of the game. Tracy put the game away with his second of the game from Tugnutt and Alavi. The 5-1 victory was the third of the weekend for Kemptville. Victor Tracy was the games’ first star while Matt Tugnutt picked up the award for second star. The 73’s will have their home opener at the North Grenville Community Centre on Friday, Sept. 9 against the Pembroke Lumber Kings. Opening face-off is at 7:30 p.m. Come out and see this year’s team! Saturday, the team travels to the Jim Durell Complex to face the Ottawa Junior Senators at 2:30 p.m. Feel the heat! Catch 73s fever!
