Elevation issues leave Kemptville Public School opening up in the air Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Students at Kemptville Public School will likely remain in the existing building for the start of the 2016 school year. The site control approval process of the project, through the Municipality of North Grenville, has caused a three month delay so far in the construction of the new school, to be built off County Rd. 44 in Kemptville. “We have been in the site

control approval process with the municipality for the last three months now,” said Jeremy Hobbs, Upper Canada District School Board Superintendent of Facilities. The new school was slated to open September 2016, an already tight schedule according to Hobbs. However, a major issue has pushed construction back by months, leaving the timeline for opening up in the air. “The project is tendered and

ready to go,” said Hobbs. “We are waiting for site approval from the municipality.” He explained the school board worked with the municipality in purchasing the piece of property off County Rd. 44. “They (municipal staff) directed us to this piece of land,” said Hobbs. “They worked with us through the purchase of the land and arranging for the land to get serviced.” He explained the site control approval process has been delayed due to drainage issues. “Not so much with our land, but the adjacent property,” said Hobbs. “Our engineers used the current elevation of the adjacent property in the design process.” He said the municipality only revealed plans to elevate the existing adjacent property when the site control approval process began back in June. “We had no way of knowing that,” said Hobbs. “What that means is our property is lower that it needs to be and there will be more drainage on our property.” See SITE CONTROL page K2

One Book One Community program comes to Lanark County older community that is changing the culture of the region. While relevant to everyone, this topic has not been the focus of a major initiative countywide to discuss the possibilities and implications of aging in our region. The One Book program offers an opportunity to create dialogue and potentially spur action on how to embrace and respond to this demographic shift. The CEO of Mississippi Mills Public Library, Pam Harris, noted, “The wonder of books is how they bring people and communities together.

Librarians in Lanark County are pleased to present the upcoming events for the 2015 One Book, One Community program – a libraryinitiated project that encourages all residents to come together through the shared experience of reading the same book and attending various events within their communities. Information on the chosen book for the 2015 program, Flee, Fly, Flown by Janet Hepburn, as well as event information is available at the One Book, One Community website: www.onebooklanark.webs.com. Through this experience, the community will be able to explore a topic in a variety of venues, creating conversations about important and complex issues. The One Book program offers its first set of events starting in September 2015. “Our libraries are delighted to be partnering to provide a great selection of events for our first One Book, One Community program”, said Erika Heesen, CEO of the Perth Union Library. “We’re looking forward to creating a community conversation about the book Flee, Fly, Flown and the theme of aging.” This year’s novel Flee, Fly, Flown is an adventure of Lillian and Audrey who plot to escape from Tranquil Meadows Nursing Home, “borrow” a car, and spend their hastily planned vacation time driving west, unaware of the challenges they will face. All they know is that the warm days of August call to them, along with the need to escape the daily routines and humiliations of a nursing home life that has become overwhelming. The duo set out on their journey, having forgotten that their memory problems might make driving and following directions difficult. During their trip they meet up with the unsuspecting Rayne, a young man also heading west in hope of reconciling with his family. As Lillian and Audrey try to take back the control that time and dementia has taken from them, Rayne realizes the truth of their situation. But it’s too late – he has fallen under the spell of these two funny, brave women and is willing to be a part of their adventure, wherever it leads them. The 2015 theme, Aging, is a significant one for Lanark County, which has an aging population, as well as the population shift to an

They also have access to a vast network of medical and mental health care resources for diagnosis and

This program helps PTSD survivors: manage and control emotions, focus attention, Improve social competence and social interactions, and promote an overall sense of wellbeing. These service dogs are named in memory of those ﬁrst responders and veterans who have lost the PTSD battle. The latest entrant into the canine service academy is Kal, named

in honour of Ottawa Police Service ofﬁcer Kal Ghadban who took his life just a year ago. At this year’s Brett Pearson Run in Carleton Place, several of these service dogs will join in the event, with handlers available to explain the program and answer any questions. Registration starts at 8 a.m. in beside the town hall on Mill Street, with guest speakers delivering remarks at 9 a.m., and the run/walk starts off at 10 a.m. with a parade down Bridge Street.

As the date for the fifth annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life quickly approaches (Saturday, Sept. 26) the organizers are pleased and proud to announce that one of the great causes that will be supported by a portion of this year’s proceeds is i Run and Rock: United by Trauma. This run, supported by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee continues to focus and foster community discussions on the topics of suicide and drug/substance abuse and misuse. The run is more than just a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful trails and paths along the Mississippi River; it’s a gathering of neighbours, friends, and mental health and addictions professionals to shine a light on what are often dark and secret topics. Healthcare stakeholders will be in attendance with information booths and professionals ready to answer questions and provide information on local and regional resources. Last year the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life’s organizers helped put the spotlight on the military and emergency responders and how PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is creating a real and lethal risk to these groups of selfless professionals. Various groups from police and military services, fire fighters, and paramedics attended in full force to help end the stigma. United by Trauma is a notfor-profit organization created by first responders, military and medical professionals to assist their peers with PTSD education and outreach programs, including PTSD service dogs.

Adding to the Shawville con-

scottcampbell@metroland.com

nection will be the presence of Bryan’s brother and Tim’s uncle, Terry Murray, as assistant coach for Buffalo. The teams capped their 201415 regular season on two very different notes. Ottawa made a

remarkable and historic run into the NHL playoffs and Buffalo played out their schedule in a lock for last place in the league. Terry Murray’s hiring was made official on June 18. Head coach Dan Bylsma announced the appointments Dave Barr and Murray as his assistants. “The Buffalo Sabres are one of the more exciting young teams in the league,” said Terry recently, as he prepared for a move to Buffalo. “We’re in a phase of teaching, developing and winning. That’s a great challenge. It’s a place that I’ve been several times before with other teams and I really enjoy that process,” he said. “Playing in Ottawa always adds a little something to the game, not so much because Bry-

an is involved with the Senators but because there’s family and friends at the game or watching, and this is where I played junior for three years with the Ottawa 67’s.” Like Bryan, Terry is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray. He lived with his family on a farm for his first few years and eventually the move was made into Shawville to the house on King Street, which Clarence built himself. The street was also where Terry first encountered hockey. “The first time I skated was on an outdoor rink in Selly Langford’s yard, at the end of King (Street),” Terry said. “All the kids that grew up in the end of town played hockey everyday on the rink; we’d have games with

15 players on each team, everybody playing at the same time, no system play, just having fun.” Hockey wasn’t always the priority either. He played a lot of different sports growing up from basketball, fastpitch ball, track and field events at school to volleyball and some baseball. Terry’s NHL career began as a player when the California Golden Seals drafted him and then he had stints with the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals. “Today’s NHL is faster than it ever was,” said Terry. “Today’s athlete is better coached, has a greater understanding of nutrition, rehydration and of the offseason responsibilities. “We had to work through the See MURRAY page 7

summers (and now) the players are focused on the game 24/7 and 365 days of the year. That all adds up to a better player and game.” The Capitals was where he would begin his career behind the bench as he was hired as the assistant coach in 1983. He became the head coach for the team in 1989 and was also the bench boss with the Florida Panthers and the Flyers, when Philadelphia went to the Stanley Cup final in 1997. “I’ve worked with Tim before, he was scouting with the Florida Panthers,” he said. “(Buffalo) is a whole new look, now that he’s the general manager.” Terry was back with the Flyers as assistant coach for four seasons before being hired as head coach for the Los Angeles Kings in 2008. In his second year behind the Kings bench, the team clinched a playoff spot for the first time in eight years. The Kings started the 2011-12 season slowly and the team soon decided on a different direction, which led to his early departure. Los Angeles barely made it into the 2012 playoffs but became the Stanley Cup champions. The Kings gave credit to Terry’s influence on the team and the organization presented him with a Stanley Cup ring. For the last two years, Terry has been the head coach for the Adirondack Phantoms in the American Hockey League. The team was rebranded as the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the 201415 season. “The two years in Glens Falls was a good experience,” he said. “Lots of hockey history with the AHL going

back to the late ‘70s and the Detroit Red Wings as the parent club. In fact they (Adirondock Red Wings) won the Calder Cup in 1991-92, when Bryan was the general manager of Detroit. So a good core fan base, knowledgeable, they appreciated the work every game.” Terry noted that the work load is quite different from the AHL to NHL. The travel to all AHL games is by bus and it’s a 76-game schedule, instead of the 82 matches in the NHL. The players are in the development stage of their careers, which means a bulk of them are on entry level contracts and any given night some may have a hard time ﬁnding that top-notch level of play. “Consistency is what you strive for as a team, it’s a learned skill and that’s the purpose for the league. It’s to develop the player’s game so they can move to the NHL.” While Shawville will always be considered home, he has seen many different cities with wife, Linda and daughters Meaghan and Lindsey. Terry and Linda have had a home in Maine for many years. Terry was always sure a life in pro hockey was what he wanted, but he did for a moment at least, consider a different road to take. “There was a time when I thought about joining the RCMP after ﬁnishing junior hockey.” Spanning an NHL and AHL career of over 40 years as player and coach, he is moving back to the big leagues with Buffalo. “I’ve been around long enough to know my job description and its’ role. I’m really looking forward to getting this thing started.”

Avoiding distractions

e don’t have an issue with the province’s recent introduction of stiffer penalties for distracted driving. As of last Tuesday, the set fine was increased to $490 (which includes victim surcharge and court costs), and novice drivers face a minimum 30-day licence suspension for the first conviction and a longer suspension for a subsequent conviction. Research shows that a driver who uses a cell phone is four times more likely to be involved in a collision, according to a transportation ministry release. And as much as the focus appears to be on people who use their hand-held devices while driving, we know that distracted driving covers much bigger territory. Those of us who believe we can successfully wolf down a breakfast sandwich or sift through a pile of CDs on the passenger seat while sitting behind the wheel without it affecting our ability to pay attention to the road ahead might be kidding ourselves.

The bottom line is that having to cough up 500 bucks for being ticketed could lead some people to think twice about doing something that qualifies as distracted driving. If the increased penalty actually serves its purpose as a deterrent, then jacking up the fine might be a wise move on the part of the provincial government. That stated, though, we make note of the fact that the price of a vehicle sticker renewal in Ontario has risen from $74 in Aug. 2012 to $108 as of Sept. 1. That’s 45 per cent in three years. Just because the fee had remained relatively stable for many years prior to a series of increases and there are still other provinces in which the charge is higher does not justify such a significant jump in what motorists in Ontario must pay. We would gladly accept paying our fair share to help maintain provincial infrastructure such as roads and bridges, but shelling out an extra $34 after only three years seems a bit steep.

Hankies and handkerchiefs each had their own stories

It seemed odd to me back then, that what Father stuffed in his overall pocket was called a handkerchief, but what Mother tucked in her purse, or my sister Audrey and I tied our money in its corner, was called a hanky. Even my older and much wiser sister had no explanation for the difference. “That’s just the way it is,” she’d say, when I asked her to explain it all to me. Uncle Lou, when he came to visit, had spanking white handkerchiefs. Mother said they were pure linen, another sign of his wealth and importance, I thought. He had a stack of them in his suitcase, and if he stayed a spell, Mother washed and ironed them as if they were made of gold. He liked them folded a certain way, and

Mother made sure that was the way they were given back to him after the laundry was done on the Monday. And he used a clean one every day, which in itself set him apart from Father. Father was lucky if he got a clean handkerchief to take to church on Sunday! And his were either red or blue patterned, made of thin cotton, and Father used them for everything from blowing his nose, to wiping off the windshield of the Model T, to cleaning his glasses when

he wore them, and even giving a swipe at the cow’s udder before milking. Yes, Father’s handkerchiefs had many uses. Audrey and I had our own hankies, and we kept them in our drawer in the washstand in our bedroom. We didn’t have many, perhaps three or four. And one was kept especially for tying whatever few coins we had into its corner. We laid the hanky out flat, put the coins in one corner, wrapped the corner over, and then tied it in a knot. Audrey’s were in one side of the drawer, and mine in another. The few others we had were taken to church, and only occasionally to school, and we carried them tucked under the wrist of the sleeve of whatever we happened to be wearing that day. If we had

short sleeves, then the hanky was tucked under the leg elastic of our underpants. There was no shame in hauling out our hankie from the leg of our bloomers in school hours, if we needed it! Now, Mother’s hankies were a different story altogether. She hoarded the few she had brought from New York as if they were made of the finest linen. Some had her initial “M” embroidered in one corner, which I thought at the time was the height of elegance, and I suspected back then, were probably the only hankies of their kind in all of Northcote! And Mother’s hankies had a special purpose too. Ladies carried their hankies in their purses, and every time Mother

left the house, a clean hanky was doused with cologne and tucked inside, and when she opened her purse to get out her change purse (women didn’t have wallets back then), the heavenly scent of her perfume would float out, filling the air around her. My brother Emerson hated the smell, and vowed Mother’s perfume laden hankies gave him a headache, but I often opened and closed Mother’s purse in rapid succession just to get a whiff. Hankies were bought in fancy square boxes, folded so that the corners showed tiny embroidered flowers. These could be bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew for 25 cents, which made them a perfect gift for the teacher at Christmas, or when school ended in June. I

Emerson longed for handkerchiefs like Uncle Lou’s, as white as the driven snow, and crisp as paper. The year he got one for Christmas, he was so overjoyed, he went right to the phone, rang three longs and a short, and told his friend Leo Thom. Mother wouldn’t let him take it to school. He put it in his back pocket only on Sunday’s for church. I never once saw him blow his nose into it, but he would take it out in church and pat his forehead with it, and I’d watch his eyes See MARY page 9

Canada Homestay Network representative Nelson Williams provides helpful tips to Upper Canada District School Board international students to help ease their transition into Canadian society during an orientation session Sept. 2 at Brockville Collegiate Institute.

UCDSB interational student orientation prepares students for successful year Nearly 160 international students from across the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) learned about “Canadianisms” Sept. 2 from our madness for hockey to our use of the word “eh.” The high school students, here to study through the UCDSB International Education Program, were introduced to Canadian culture through a seminar as part of International Student Orientation 2015-2016. The 45-minute seminar, which took place at Brockville Collegiate Institute as part of the event, was designed to make the transition into Canadian society easier while studying in board schools. The day, organized by the Upper Canada Leger Centre for Education and Training (UCLCET), attracted students from a range of countries such as China, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Mexico and Spain. They attended seminars about Canadian culture, school survival, and ways to enjoy a successful year with their host fami-

lies. A fourth seminar allowed centre, Canada Homestay Network, and board staff to learn students’ likes and dislikes so they can share them with their schools and host families. “The kids were very engaged and you could tell from the questions they were asking, and the feedback we received, that the information was helpful and will be an important part of establishing a strong foothold for success in the coming year,” Matthew Raby, centre executive director, said of the orientation day. The Canadian culture seminar was an important aspect of the event because it gave students a snapshot of what they can expect while here. Delivered by Nelson Williams, of Canada Homestay Network, it covered a variety of topics ranging from Canadians’ approach to freedom to their unique adaptations of the English language. He discussed words that identify Canadians to other nationalities, such as our proliﬁc use of “eh” and our

He discussed the importance of hockey to Canadian culture, but dispelled the myth that it was Canada’s national game, which is actually lacrosse. “But don’t come to Canada and not see a hockey game,” he said. He also recommended students get involved in school life through clubs, volunteering and sports to gain as many friends as possible to learn about the culture and make the most of their experience here. “Don’t think for a minute at the school that music, drama, and sports are just for the Canadian kids – they are for all Upper Canada students and you are now Upper Canada students,” he said.

ments, and report cards are anecdotal in nature with no specific grades. The curriculum is now structured as an integrated, whole-child approach to learning. The key areas of the curriculum is divided into four frames for learning, which are designed to support planning instruction and assessment that aligns with how learning naturally occurs through play and inquiry. The four frames include: belonging and contributing, self-regulation and well-being, literacy and mathematics behaviours, and problem solving and innovating. “The new program supports the belief that learning happens in a relationship setting, when kids are partnered with other learners,” explained Lapierre. “The new key areas of development are a really significant change – literacy and numeracy are not on the list, but these skills happen naturally when we lay the foundation for other skills.”

“It has indeed been an extremely busy year for our department,” noted Cauley. “The schools look great, and we’ve worked to develop the designs and concepts with the Supervisory Officers, with the students’ priorities in mind.” The largest project, a 12classroom addition at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, includes renovation to the construction shop, an atrium with staff room, washrooms and service space. The project is complete and will be ready for students for the new school year. Interior renovations were completed at 11 sites, and six schools received ODA compliant upgrades to washroom facilities, and one elevator installation. In addition, an ODA audit was done at all facilities, and a report will be provided to the board at the end of September. Additional projects were carried out in 42 schools under various government grant initiatives. These 127 upgrades include: painting, replacement of flooring and window coverings, asphalt and improved drainage upgrades, installation of portable classrooms, electrical upgrades, roofing and shingle replacement, renovations to secondary school hospitality suites, window replacement, door replacement, exterior facility and insulation upgrades, and HVAC and water system improvements. Playground and gymnasium equipment was also inspected at all schools, and repairs and upgrades were undertaken during the summer months.

Capital projects, school renewal update Over the course of the last 12 months, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has worked diligently toward the completion of 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 42 facilities including more than 5,000 work orders and 127 projects under School Renewal, School Condition Improvement, Capital, Ontarians Submitted by the Cathowith Disabilities Act (ODA) lic District School Board of and Energy Efficiency.

The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular board meeting held Sept. 1 at the CDSBEO head office in Kemptville. The Ministry of Education has recently revised the Early Learning Program for Kindergarten students. The new program reflects the belief that four and five-year-olds are capable and active learners, full of potential and ready to take ownership of their learning. Based on self-directed learning with a child-centred approach, the new model encourages caring, play-based experiences that promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical development in an environment which is safe and comfortable for all children. Christina Lapierre, Early Years curriculum consultant, provided the board with an overview of the new program and how it enhances learning for young students. “The new program reflects a shift in thinking,” explained Lapierre. “The curriculum is framed differently in that it allows the children to explore their interests and encourages learning based on their lead. This allows for more excitement in learning; more joy, more wonder, and more learning.” Developed as a two-year program document which no longer identifies a junior and senior level curriculum, student report cards and evaluation will be standardized for all kindergarten learners across Ontario. In addition, the overall expectations are no longer broken into subject areas; instead, learning expectations are evaluated through conceptual understanding state-

Traveling by train in the United Kingdom can have its pitfalls When we are making arrangements to travel overseas I am always reminded of the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to our many travel-related experiences. Kathleen and I have been exceedingly fortunate. We have had mostly good travel experiences mixed with a few bad ones. Travel is never problem-free. Ugly experiences have been few and far between and as we prepare to set off this year we are looking only at the positive and hoping to avoid the negative. I have written in the past about rail travel in Europe. We’ve ridden the rails countless times in England, Scotland, Ireland (north and south) and Continental Europe, especially in Germany. We’re amazed at the speed, efficiency and timeliness of European train travel. Considering Canada has such a small passenger rail network the experience in Europe is just so much better. It seems to us that trains go virtually everywhere and the number of daily trips available to customers, especially to and from major centres, is impressive. The locals, on the other hand, aren’t quite as enamored as us. First, they complain about the cost. It’s true that taking the train isn’t cheap. Europeans also point to other concerns including the shrinking rail network. Some countries, including the United Kingdom, have seen service to many smaller communities suspended

ductor who is an Ottawa Senators’ fan. We checked into a lovely hotel in Cambridge city centre, met our party and the four of us enjoyed a walking tour of the historic university campus and its precincts on a sunny, hot August afternoon. That night we ate a leisurely meal at a restaurant Debra knew. On the Sunday Kathy and I were scheduled to travel on to London to spend the final five days of our UK visit. We always purchase rail passes through our travel agent at home. I knew from experience that any track and rail infrastructure repairs and upgrades are done on Sundays, traditionally the lowest volume travel day. I asked at Cambridge Station if there were any delays or problems expected and was reassured to hear nothing out of the ordinary was anticipated. Famous last words as it turned out! We caught a late morning train and learned it was the “milk run” which would stop in at least 15 places before arriving at busy King’s Cross Station in London. The fast train to London takes just 50 minutes. We would be traveling for more than 90. We left on time and although the train called at various stations we seemed to be making fair progress. Until we neared Stansted Airport. The airport, located in the County of Essex some 48 kilometres northeast of Central London, is third among the air-

ports which serve the sprawling British capital. Heathrow, west of downtown and Gatwick, south of London are much busier. As we neared Stansted’s train station an announcement over the PA changed our entire day. “This service will terminate at Stansted Airport. Buses will be laid on to take passengers into London,” the terse message said. Kathy and I looked at each other. “Oh no, we’re going to have to wait for buses to arrive. How long is that going to take?” I wondered aloud. The train was absolutely packed and we were all suddenly stranded, nearly 50 km short of our destination. As we were herded off the train I overheard railway staff telling other passengers that maintenance work on the line had gone past the scheduled time, hence the termination of service. It was a hot, humid day and we had no idea how long it would take for buses to arrive and take us into London. We weren’t even sure where we should go to wait.

Representing 72,000 retired public & private teachers, educational support staff, college & university faculty and support staff RTO/ERO is a non-partisan organization. RTO/ERO and its members believe that the two most important issues facing all Canadians, and especially seniors, are healthcare and pensions. Pensions

Healthcare RTO/ERO is seeking from the Federal Government and the provinces a commitment to a phased-in, managed approach to universal healthcare that combines prevention and remediation. This would include a campaign to encourage all Canadians to adopt healthier lifestyles, as well as a Pharmacare program that leaves the provinces responsible for the management of healthcare through an integrated, funded agreement between the provinces and the Federal Government.

RTO/ERO believes it is imperative that our political leaders address the absence of pension plans for 75% of private sector workers who constitute the majority of the workforce. The matter of assisting Canadians to plan for their retirement, and thus to be more self-reliant in their senior years, is an opportunity to raise the quality of life of Canadians.

RTO/ERO’s Recommendations

q That the Prime Minister con-

vene a meeting of Premiers and Provincial Finance Ministers to work out a time frame for a phasedin universal health care program, and that such a program include a cooperative Federal-Provincial Pharmacare Program. That the Federal Government undertake an expansion of the CPP in conjunction with the Provinces and Territories to ensure that Canadians can continue to maintain a reasonable standard of living in their retirement years.

PM’s cash comment provides opponents with campaign ammo Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a stop at Tim Hortons in Gananoque on Aug. 31. He handed out free coffees with Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown, who was celebrating his 55th birthday that day, during the 20-minute visit. At one point, while positioned behind the counter at Tim Hortons, Harper said, “Tell me what to do, but don’t let me handle

the cash.” Various media outlets have since reported the PM was mocked for the comment. The federal Liberal candidate for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, Mary Jean McFall, was quick to criticize the comment, issuing a campaign ad that same day. The ad shows a video of Harper making the statement, followed by the words, “We agree. Under Mr. Harper’s guidance, we are officially in a recession.”

In the video, she states, “My own view is central government has a role to play in being a steward of the economy and that is you have to step up and say, ‘We’ve got a problem here and we have to do something to address it.’ The Liberal Party last week came out with a big announcement about infrastructure investment, which I would suggest is going to make a huge difference to the Canadian economy, which of course will matter right here in Leeds-Grenville as well.”

While she guarded our luggage I literally sprinted for the bus terminal. Ahead of me were some other quick thinking train passengers. Behind us a long queue soon formed. We were fortunate. I landed tickets for a coach that was leaving in 20 minutes. “It cost us £24 (just over $58 CDN today). We shouldn’t have to pay more but I’m not standing on an airport tarmac for hours in the heat,” I said. Right on time, off we went. Admittedly we were packed into the bus like sardines, at the very back too and the air conditioning – if there was any – didn’t work. We were soon perspiring freely and very uncomfortable. “At least we’re on the move,” I thought. The bus made many stops and heated up to the point where I’m sure we could have fried eggs on our seats. At each stop I also hopped off to make sure our cases didn’t dis-

St. Andrew’s United Church in Pakenham is also pleased to welcome The Valley Men, performing in a special concert in celebration of the church’s 175th anniversary. The Valley Men is an amateur male choir of about 20 to 24 members from the Ottawa area. Each fall since 1994, they have gone on tour, performing mostly in small rural towns throughout the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario. They perform

a varied repertoire of traditional songs, hymns, anthems and novelty numbers. They sing because they enjoy it; raising funds for local charities is a pleasant spin-off. Do come and be entertained by this talented group. The concert will be held on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Free-will offering at the door.

appear with a fellow passenger who, like us, was on the verge of heat stroke. Eventually we ended up at a stop on busy Oxford Street in Central London. “Finally, light at the end of the tunnel,” I said to myself. However, as he was helping passengers with their luggage the driver suddenly screamed in pain. He hobbled over to the giant vehicle and sat on the lowest step, cradling his head in his hands. “What happened,” I asked. “Wrenched my bloody back,” he spat from between clenched teeth. The poor guy was in agony. Somehow he managed to crawl into his seat and off we went. After what seemed an endless drive we made it to what I determined was our best port of call, Victoria Station. It was the nearest stop to our hotel. Triumphantly I removed our suitcases and, soaked in sweat, we headed to the taxi rank. There was the usual London queue, but

eventually our turn came. The cabbie was a lazy fellow who, instead of getting out and assisting with our bags, jerked a thumb toward the side door and made me put everything inside. I was major miffed. A silent ride to the hotel followed. I made sure to count out the exact change to pay for the trip. The guy looked at me expectantly. Incredibly he was looking for a tip. “Buddy, we just had a hell of a trip to London this afternoon and you wouldn’t get off your butt to help with our cases. “No tip!” I don’t think a hotel lobby, especially one as nicely air conditioned as that one, ever looked and felt so good. After check-in we made a beeline for the bar. I don’t think the beer in my glass touched my lips. I was that parched. A cold pint of lager never tasted so good!

Kubrick classics weekend at Station Theatre features 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining The Smiths Falls Station Theatre opens its Movie Nights 2015-16 season with two classic Stanley Kubrick films on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19. This exciting weekend film experience offers a chance to see two outstanding films by a master director in a theatre ideal for film-viewing. The Station Theatre has a state of the art 14-foot Panasonic screen that produces high definition picture quality with big surround sound. The unique design of the auditorium ensures obstruction-free, comfortable viewing in a climate-controlled environment. The opening night film – 2001: A Space Odyssey – is the runaway winner chosen by patrons in a recent poll. Produced and directed by Kubrick (the famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke co-wrote the screenplay), follows a voyage to Jupiter with a smart computer called Hal after the discovery of a mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution. Years ahead of its time, the film has been universally cited for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight and its pioneering special effects. It is regarded by film goers and critics as one of the best movies of all time. This 1968 classic will be followed on Saturday by a rare screening of Kubrick’s famous The Shining (1980), a personal favourite of Robert Fontaine, CBC’s “All In A Day” film critic, who selected the film for your enjoyment. As a bonus, Robert will be in attendance to introduce The Shining and host a Q & A session to complete the evening. Listeners to his radio show know they are in for a very entertaining evening. When The Shining was first seen by critics, most expected a standard fright fest based on a Stephen King

We have free gifts and information for you.

Tickets for each of the Kubrick classics are $10 for adults, $5 for students (with ID), sold for cash only at the door. The movies start at 7:20 p.m.; the Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave. To help kick off its new film season, the Station Theatre will be offering a free Reward Card at the ticket wicket. When presented at the time of purchase, the Reward Card will be stamped by the ticket seller. There is no expiration date, and when seven stamps are accumulated for seven purchased tickets, the next film is free. As a special bonus, patrons attending both Kubrick films will get a third Reward Card bonus stamp free – a great start towards a free movie later on. We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows—like the “Tales and Tunes” show in our music series coming on Sept. 26 – by going to our website (www.smithsfallstheatre.com) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

best seller; what they got was a highly original film – starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duval – that has sparked speculation and discussion ever since. It ranks as one the “must see” classics, a thrill for veteran film goers to see again and an opportunity for new generations of viewers to appreciate what all the buzz has been about. Patrons who visited the National Art Gallery to see the Alex Colville Retrospective have a rare opportunity to test their memories and perceptive skills. Colville was a great admirer of Kubrick; and Kubrick was fascinated by Colville’s art. The Shining actually incorporates four images – drawn from Colville’s work – that were on display at the gallery this summer. (Viewers should start looking carefully at 10:50 minutes into the film to see if they can pick out the famous Canadian artist’s “Woman and Terrier.” Then at 14:31 minutes see if you can identify, in a key moment in the film in the family’s apartment, Colville’s famous “Horse and Train.”)

Agreement may see more Chinese students at UCDSB schools in future between the Centre, the UCDSB, and the Chinese school. Chinese students choose the UCDSB because the Canadian education system is valued internationally, said Matthew Raby, UCLCET executive director. “Students are choosing the UCDSB because of the quality reputation of Canadian public education, the safety of our local communities and because we have a well-deserved reputation for being a friendly and hospitable people,” said Raby following a signing ceremony at the board’s Brockville ofﬁce. “That appeals to both students and parents.” Local students will beneﬁt through increased cultural diversity in board high schools, inspiring friendships between Canadian and Chinese students, he added.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) renewed an agreement with a public school in east-central China Tuesday, Sept. 1 allowing more Chinese high school students to study in Ontario while experiencing a quality education in UCDSB schools. The ﬁve-year agreement with Zhengzhou School #9 will pave the way for Chinese students to study at UCDSB high schools in Grades 11 and 12 so they can learn English and obtain an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. This will help them qualify to attend post-secondary studies in Canada. About two dozen Chinese students are expected to attend UCDSB schools annually under the agreement through the board’s International Education Program, administered by The Upper Canada Leger Centre for Education and Training (UCLCET). This is the second consecutive ﬁve-year agreement

THIS WEEK IN

Amberley Beatty is the honky tonk gal in upcoming Studio Theatre show Her tribute shows to Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Gretchen Wilson and Connie Francis have made Amberley Beatty one of the most sought after tribute artists in North America. When you’re watching Amberley perform her tribute to Loretta Lynn, you’re lookin’ at Country – the real deal, the essence of country music that can’t be faked. She’s as witty and real as the Honky Tonk Gal herself as she belts out classics like “Fist City”, “You Ain’t Woman Enough”, “Don’t Come Home A Drinking With Loving On Your Mind”, and of course “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. Loretta Lynn has been

a country icon for decades, and Amberley is proud to pay tribute to this living legend. Over the past 10 years, Beatty has been wowing audiences internationally with her amazing portrayals of legendary performers. She has graced stages across North America, not just as a tribute artist, but as an accomplished singer, songwriter and actress, playing lead roles in

musical theatre. Amberley has recently had a top 10 hit on the European Indie charts, singing a duet with country star Allen Karl, and she’s currently working on a new album of original music with JK Gully of Blue Gull Studio. Amberley’s love of performing has given her the opportunity to meet and work with a host of talented artists; and her adventure is just

beginning. Don’t miss the chance to see Amberley Beatty as the legendary Loretta Lynn, Friday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street E, Perth. Tickets are $30 at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth, or call (613) 267-6817. Visit www.shadowfax.on.ca. Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Dog Paintings. Through donations from the Yoga in the Park, our Canine and Cat Café and four art pieces that were sold, LAWS received more than $500 in donations. This is amazing community out with Latisha. Isla arrived at LAWS support! after she escaped outdoors where she was attacked by another animal. When she returned home her personality had changed. Isla spent much time at LAWS meeting people and other animals, however she remains quite the hissy face. ask to meet Isla or Latisha.

This Week’s Pets

Brian Also a long-term resident is Brian, such a gentle soul. Brian is laid back and quite confortable around other cats.

This week’s featured pets Howie Meet Howie, a young and energetic orange and white tabby who is doing break dances to entice an adopter. Howie arrived in fairly good health but much in need of love. This is obvious by the way he hangs from the door whenever a potential adopter arrives. If you would like an energetic addition with lots of personality – come meet Howie at 253 Glen View Road Smiths Falls.

Isla was declawed by her previous owners and therefore is not a candidate to ever be outdoors. Isla needs a home where she will be loved forever.

Latisha Latisha had been a long-term resident at LAWS often overlooked because of her shyness and black coat. Latisha has come a long way with the support of staff at Natural Pet Foods and is eagerly awaiting her adopter. Thank you Isla If you wish to provide a home to one LAWS would like to thank Ginger Next is Isla who is now at Natural of our furry friends, please stop in at Café, Hamsa Yoga as well as Doodle Pet Foods in Carleton Place hanging Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and

He would make a fine addition to any home. Luanne Recently returned to the shelter after her owner passed is Luanne, a beautiful female sable with a subdued personality who is perfect for any senior home. If you have never seen a sable cat, feel free to stop in at the shelter to meet Luanne.

Brandi Brandi is a three-year-old female German Shepherd mix who knows her basic commands. She is housetrained, up-todate on vaccines and is spayed and micro chipped. She has really good recall, but requires continued leash work. She is outgoing and loves people, but can be protective of her owner around other dogs. For this reason we recommend continued socialization with and an experienced dog owner. Brandi is not to be overlooked as she will be loyal and committed to her family. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@ lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613283-9308.

Tips on packing interesting lunches for younger school aged children Smaller children have smaller stomachs so send them with finger foods and food split into smaller portion sizes. Smaller portions will be more appealing and less wasteful. For example: • Sandwiches cut into quarters, precut vegetables and fruit, cubed cheese, mini pitas stuffed with cheese and hummus, rolled up wraps cut into circles. • Pack fruit that doesn’t need peeling, like apples, or are easy to peel, like bananas. Or take the peel off in advance as with an orange. It can be an exciting and maybe a wee bit scary for children going to school for the first time. Here are some ideas to help make lunch time more manageable for them: • Pack foods that look like food rather than toys like dinosaur cheese or animal crackers. Food that looks like a toy will be played with and this will take up time during the short lunch break. • Pack favourite leftovers. A favourite meal from the night before is a great meal for school too. You can use a thermos to keep foods hot but children will also eat leftovers cold like spaghetti or cooked chicken. • Use food-savers that kids can open themselves, with easy to lift tabs so they don’t spend time trying to get into their food or waiting for someone to help. • Pack items that don’t need to be opened to be eaten. Single-serving items, such as small bags of crackers or sealed cheese portions take extra time to open. • In lunch bags, use foods they know and like. Use meals at home to introduce new foods.

Nutrition Tips

all, breakfast, snack bin or lunch programs at no cost. Speak with the school principal.

Finally, it can be a challenge, but try to trust your children’s appetites. Parents and caregivers can take the responsibility to provide healthy foods and the children can take the responsibility to decide how much of it to eat. Keep in mind that if If perishable foods come back home, foods like meat, fish, poultry eggs or milk products, do not reuse them, throw them out.

What about hot catered lunches? Many schools provide hot lunches for a fee. Often a percentage of that money is used as fundraising. When it comes to health food choices consider these thoughts: • Send healthy snack foods even on days when there’s a catered lunch. • Find out if the caterer would add an item to the meal to make it complete, for example a milk product or a fruit or vegetable. Make the healthy food choice the easy food choice. • Find out about the ingredients used. For example does the pizza include a whole grain crust, part skim milk cheese, lean meat, vegetable toppings and a lower sodium pizza sauce? For more ideas visit www.nutritiontoolsforschools.ca and see their “Healthy Catered Lunches” fact sheet. To speak with a registered dietitian at no cost, Ontario residents can call, toll free 1-877-510-5102. For more nutrition information go to www.healthunit. org and www.eatrightontario.ca. Marie Traynor is a registered dietitian and public health nutritionist with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Dealing with time and budget constraints • Pack reusable cutlery and fabric napkins. • Cook larger batches of foods like soups, stews or pasta sauces. Use planned leftovers for lunch. If there is still some left, freeze it for lunch or dinner another day. Be sure to label and date foods going into the freezer. • Schedule a baking session so you will have homemade muffins or oatmeal cookies. Wrap them well and freeze them individually. • Stock your fridge and pantry with items that you can prepare in a hurry (cherry tomatoes, apples, bananas, grapes, yogurts, whole grain crackers, leftovers, canned fish). • Save yourself time in the morning by packing lunches, with your children’s help, the night before. • Keep lunches in the fridge overnight. • Keep your lunch bag supplies in one spot. • Many schools in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark have universal, or open to

Michael Runtz talks beavers, birds and bugs at nature reserve Sept. 19 To celebrate the recent publication of Michael Runtz’s long awaited book on beavers, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust invites you to the beaver pond at High Lonesome Nature Reserve on Saturday, Sept. 19 where Runtz will do a show

and tell about this Canadian icon and its habitat. Could there be a better venue for one of Runtz’s engaging presentations, with frogs croaking, bees buzzing, birds chirping, and meanwhile the winds blowing gently through

the tall pines and rippling the surface of the pond? Will the resident beavers make a guest appearance? Following an introduction on the beavers and their role in the ecosystem, Runtz will lead us around the pond as he shares

his passion and knowledge of this special part of the natural world he has been observing and studying for 30 years. This special event will likely reveal some curious secrets about beaver behaviors. If you are not already a collector of the previous colourful and substantive Runtz books, by the end of the morning you may be sorely tempted to obtain a copy of his Dam Builders: The Natural History of Beavers and Their Ponds. Having haunted beaver ponds through most of his life, the author’s photographs and depictions illuminate, with insight and authority, this remarkable animal and its effects on biodiversity. This will be a great opportunity to

Michael Runtz will lead a show and tell about the Canadian icon, the beaver, and its habitat at High Lonesome Nature Reserve. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust planned the event to coincide with the recent publication of Runtz’s book on beavers.

Transforming Landscapes FOR OVER 35 YEARS

buy a signed copy for yourself or as a gift for a fellow nature lover. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) acquired High Lonesome Nature Reserve in 2012 through a generous donation from the family of Barry (Sam) Spicer. There is an 8 km network of trails that wind through the property, taking you through all types of habitat and providing wonderful opportunities for wildlife observation and photography. To date MMLT has conserved more than 2.400 acres of ecological sensitive lands in eastern Ontario. In addition to its mandate to protect these signiﬁcant properties in perpetuity, the Land Trust is committed to provid-

ing regular opportunities for people of all ages to experience the wilderness ﬁrst hand. Registration for this event starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19 and the presentation begins at 10 a.m. The admission fee is a $10 donation to the MMLT. To reach High Lonesome, take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village and turn onto Waba Road. Continue west for 2.9 km, turn left on Barr Side Road and travel for 1.6 km. Take the ﬁrst left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road and you have arrived. For further information and a map, visit mmlt.ca/events.

Look at, listen to and feel real local history of North Lanark in scenic Appleton The following is the latest in a series of monthly articles on local museums in Lanark County, submitted by the North Lanark Historical Society. Sure you can “Google” historical facts but your screen can’t recreate the voices, animate the artifacts or replicate the atmosphere you can only experience when you move from today to back then—as you explore a museum. Immerse yourself in historical buildings, like the pioneer cabin, or listen to local anecdotes recorded by those who lived it as part of the oral histories offered at the North Lanark Regional Museum in Appleton, in the Town of Mississippi Mills. It’s your one stop for everything you need to know about North Lanark, including your genealogy. Local family histories are available in our research library along with local history books and archived copies of our community newspaper, The Almonte Gazette.

A chance to drive a 1935 Chrysler Airflow Eight Douglas Tozer of Markdale, Ontario, recently visited Tony Lang of Chepstow, a small village a few miles northwest of Walkerton. The “Lang Collection” of classic cars includes a beautiful 1935 Chrysler Airflow Eight sedan with a new all-steel unibody construction first introduced the previous year with styling and engineering many years ahead of its time. It was the first domestic car designed in a wind tunnel. From the two-piece V-shaped windshield to the headlights blended into the front fenders, this car in the mid-30s looked like a car of the future – and in many ways it really was. Features included safety glass in the windshield, full insulation against noise, heat and cold, and hydraulic brakes pioneered by Chrysler as early as 1924. Henry Ford stubbornly clung to mechanical brakes (“the safety of steel from pedal to wheel”) until he finally went hydraulic in 1939. When unveiled for the 1934 model year, the new Chrysler Airflow with its “waterfall” grille was available as a coupe, 2-door sedan, and 4-door sedan with Canadian prices when new from $1,500 for the 6-cylinder DeSoto Air-

year, after which it was replaced with cars of more contemporary styling. It may have been a ﬁnancial disappointment for Water P. Chrysler but the Airﬂow stands today as a milestone in the evolution of the automobile. Surviving examples are meticulously restored and highly collectible.

flow to $2,180 for the 8-cylinder Imperial Airflow. Sales were not as expected, and for 1935, the downward curve at the front of the ’34 grille was given a slight peak to give the car a more conventional look. On May 28, 2015, Tony Lang took Douglas Tozer for a ride in his Chrysler Airflow, then handed the keys to Douglas and said: “Now you drive.” Not many people get a chance like that. Douglas took the wheel and guided the car down the road, looking today as good as it did when it rolled off the assembly line 80 years earlier. The car won Second Best in Show at a St. Johns Concourse in Michigan. Under the hood is a 323 cubic inch Lhead straight eight engine cranking out 115 horsepower in the Chrysler C-1 series and 130 in the C-2 Imperial Eight. The Chrysler Airflow continued in production to the end of the 1937 model Submitted photo

Kemptville one of 35 sites in the world to host ‘Art Break’ Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Art Break is about creating. Kemptville was one of 35 sites in the world that took part in the fifth annual Art Break, which was held on Sept. 4. “I was on the Internet and I saw something about Art Break, so I looked at the artismoving.org website,” said Anne Walsh, local art therapist and author, who organized the event in Kemptville. The concept of Art Break day, which began in 2011, is to ‘connect the world, one artwork at a time.’ “Basically, they ask people to create an opportunity for everyone to come do art,” said Walsh. She explained Art Break has to be free and accessible to everyone in the community. “When I saw that, I thought it was awesome,” said Walsh. “I wanted to get involved.” She approached the North Grenville Community Church in Kemptville with the idea, who offered her the space, tables and chairs for the event. “They are very supportive,” said Walsh. The Art Break set-up in Kemptville was designed for people of all ages, with four separate art stations. Walsh provided all materials for the event. “Basically, I wanted to set it up for everyone; young and old,” said Walsh. The first station was a ‘messy’ one for the kids, with glue, glitter, gems and everything in between. “The kind of stuff parents don’t want in their house,” joked Walsh. “Kids love it. My kids spend hours doing this.”

The station also featured painted chalkboards for kids to draw on. The second station was geared towards drawing, with pastels, markers, pencil crayons, paper and colouring books. The third station was for painting, with oil pastels and watercolours. “You can draw something with the oil pastels and then paint over it with the watercolours,” said Walsh. “It makes a cool contrast.” The final station featured a banner, with the words ‘I Am’ drawn on it. “Every year, Art Break has a theme,” said Walsh. “This year, the theme is ‘I Am,’ so I decided to make this banner so people could complete that thought.” The event ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. She sent out invitations to different community groups, including Community Living and the nearby daycares, to let them know about the event. She also advertised Art Break in the Kemptville District Hospital lunchroom. “This was the first year I knew about it,” said Walsh. “I would like to do it again. What’s important to me is that people come and enjoy it. If people participate, then I will keep doing it.” She will be sending pictures of the event to the ‘Art is Moving’ organizers and let them know how it went. “I am really proud we’re doing it here,” said Walsh. “There is only 35 places in the world taking part and for Kemptville to be on that list is pretty cool.” She explained creating art is about having fun and being yourself – not meeting other’s expectations.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Above, Caitlyn Kelly and Avery Hesketh had fun at the ‘messy’ station during the Art Break event in Kemptville on Sept. 4. To the right, Stella Walsh created a number of beautiful artworks. “There is no right and wrong when it comes to art,” said Walsh. She said it’s important to get the message across that creating art is therapeutic.

“You can make whatever you like, that’s what’s great about art,” said Walsh, while speaking to a group of kids who took part in the event. “Your local furniture & appliance showroom.”

Site control approval process delays ground breaking for new KPS He explained the UCDSB is building a near identical school in Cornwall, following the same timeline as KPS, and the process has gone smoothly. “The practise is to use current elevations, which worked well in Cornwall, but not here,” said Hobbs. “We follow the same site control process with 26 municipalities.” He said construction was supposed to begin this summer and if the site control approval issues are not resolved by Sept. 19, the project will have to be re-tendered – a process that takes roughly eight weeks. If the site needs to be elevated to resolve drainage issues, he said it could cost the school board an additional $1 to $2 million beyond the funding that’s in place for the new school. “We would have to modify the design of the school to fit the new drainage needs,” said Hobbs. “We would have to raise up the whole site.” He explained the drainage issue was only revealed in the last six weeks, following the submission for the site control approval process.

than budgeted, we would have to go back and design the site the way the municipality wants us to,” said Hobbs. “Then we would have to go back to the Ministry of Education and try to find additional funds.” The timeline for the new KPS opening is “very up in the air,” he charged. Director of Planning and Development, Forbes Symon, said the site control application was submitted at the end of June. “It typically takes 90 days, with a big project like this,” said Symon. “We’re working through some storm water issues. We’re hoping the engineers are going to be able to develop a solution to deal with some of the issues.” The property in question has always incorporated a design expectation that the wetland would be controlled with elevations, he explained. “What we’ve discovered through the site plan process is their site has been lowered significantly,” said Symon. “When we started (developing) the Northwest quadrant five years ago, mapping showed properties at certain elevations. Since that time, the site was stripped of vegetation, flattened and it appears,

we don’t have a school site that’s going to flood,” said Symon. “That’s what we’re concerned about. We want the site to function properly.” He said municipal staff are currently reviewing the storm water issues and hop-

ing to compress the timeline to achieve the school board’s goal of beginning construction midSeptember. “If that’s not possible, it’s not from a lack of effort on the municipality’s part,” said Symon.

From the front

According to Hobbs, the school board is focusing on finding a drainage solution, while staying within budget. “We are currently working with the municipality to come up with a solution to the drainage issue,” said Hobbs, a process he referred to as ‘slow.’ “Last week again, the municipality required us to do new borehole’s on the site. The earliest we’ll find out results from that is this Friday (Sept. 4). For us, it all hinges on this big issue of elevation of the adjacent property.” When working with municipalities to purchase land, future changes to adjacent property elevation is something you’d expect to be informed about, he commented. “You rely on people to say, ‘here’s the land you should buy, but you should know there will be an elevation change in the adjacent land,’” said Hobbs. The UCDSB didn’t submit their site control approval late, he said. The slated opening date of Sept. 2016 “seems all but impossible,” he commented. “If we can’t find a solution by Sept. 19 that doesn’t cost between $1 and $2 million more

The Merrickville Vision 2020 Committee is still in the formation stage, but already big ideas are coming of it. “The concept began at one of Merrickville Goes Green meetings, a small community group I have been involved in since its inception about seven years ago,” said Shelley Innes, one of the group founders and owner of the Downtowne Ice Cream Shoppe in Merrickville. “We felt it important to define a vision of Merrickville-Wolford for the future. What will it look like? What steps can we take to ensure its’ sustainability, particularly in terms of food safety, transportation and energy. We realized that this was not going to be just our vision, but needed to encompass the goals and wishes of the entire community. Hence, the Vision 2020 committee was born.” So far, the group has hosted one meeting, with 11 community groups in Merrickville represented amongst the roughly 20 attendees. “While we did have an initial meeting, we are still working on reaching out to the various groups operating within the municipality, all of which have a vested interest in the future of the area,” said Innes. “We are still developing a mission statement, but it will read something like the following; The purpose of this committee is to collectively determine a vision of Merrickville-Wolford for the year 2020, and to develop plans to make this vision a reality. The committee is to be made up of representatives from the many groups already operating in the municipality, and to therefore reflect the varied interests, talents and needs of the community as a whole. Each group will have the opportunity to help develop the vision through input from it’s membership, as well as the opportunity to participate in the action plan itself. It is intended that these groups will work together, coordinating around shared interests while supporting the efforts of others.” The next meeting of the Vision 2020 Committee is scheduled for Sept. 14. The meeting is open to the public and anyone in the community is welcome to join. If you are interested in becoming

involved in the group, email Innes at shelleyinnes@hotmail.com. “Ultimately the goal is to move Merrickville-Wolford towards a sustainable future while supporting the well-being of its members,” said Innes. She explained the intent of the new committee is to create a central focus for all community groups, by coordinating efforts. “There’s at least another 10 groups we want to contact and involve,” said Innes. She said a lot of goals stemming from various community groups are the same and working together will increase chances for financial and political support. “All groups are focused on the wellbeing of the community, so if we can coordinate our efforts, I think we can go further,” said Innes. She said some of the issues discussed at the inaugural meeting including public washrooms, bottle re-filling stations and the Communities in Bloom process. “Our idea for a public washroom is to think outside the box and consider a composting toilet,” said Innes. “It is worthwhile in our minds to explore that option.” She said a lot of community groups are focused on ‘greening’ Merrickville and more can be accomplished by bringing people together. “We went away (from the first meeting) with the task to come back in two weeks with more specific ideas for what we’d like to see happen in Merrickville,” said Innes. She said Vision 2020 has been positively received by everyone in the community. “Our plan is to meet once a month,” said Innes. “People in the group, who represent other groups, can then go back to their group and fill them in on what we discussed.” She said the purpose of the Vision 2020 Committee is not to interfere with existing groups, but simple create a basis of coordination between them. The groups hopes to involve farmers in the outlying area of Merrickville-Wolford as well. “There’s no shortage of things to be done,” said Innes.

Merrickville residents seek to kick start Communities in Bloom process jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

It’s time to shine the ‘Jewel of the Rideau.’ A delegation of MerrickvilleWolford residents and business owners have come together to kick start the Communities in Bloom Ontario process. The last time the village was awarded the prestigious CIB designation was in 1998, when it was named ‘Canada’s Most Beautiful Village. The mandate of CIB, a nonprofit organization, is to foster civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification. The designation is based on bloom rating – five being the highest – and broken down into population categories, allowing communities from hamlets to cities the ability to participate. Trained volunteers travel to communities across Canada, judging based on tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, turf and groundcovers, community involvement and floral displays. “It’s about everyone working together,” said Connie Adams, Merrickville resident and business owner, who is part of the delegation attempting to get the CIB ball rolling. She explained there’s a cost involved in participating in the CIB process, including picking the judges up from the airport, covering the cost of their meals and accommodations and providing a tour of the community. “The cost is between $3,000 and $4,000,” said Adams, who engaged in discussions with Perth CIB committee members regarding the process. Perth was awarded a five-bloom designation in 2014 and will be hosting this year’s CIB Symposium on Sept. 26. “About half of that is already covered by in-kind donations from local business owners, who have offered to provide meals and accommodations to the judges.” Others costs include the beautification of the community. She said the CIB program opens tourism doors by providing participants media attention and destination status. “Merrickville is a place where people either say it’s beautiful or they want to live here,” said Adams. “Those are very common comments from visitors. It’s a desirable place.”

She explained Merrickville has a lot to offer. “It’s full of historic structures; the (Rideau) canal is right there,” said Adams. “We have gourmet restaurants, the bank, a fire department, a pharmacy, veterinary services, the skating rink and a dentist. We have everything, except a hospital.” She said CIB involves the whole community. “It hits from children up to seniors,” said Adams. She said CIB designation showcases everything the community has and does. “Basically, once a committee is formed, they put together a big brag book about the community,” said Adams. She explained the CIB process is still in its infant stage, beginning with the delegation that must advocate for the process to move forward. “We’ve reached out to Communities in Bloom to get information and application forms,” said Adams. The second step is to get the go ahead from municipal council. Adams presented to MerrickvilleWolford Council on Aug. 24, asking the mayor and councillors for support, a funding commitment, help forming a CIB committee and time commitments from municipal staff members. If given the go-ahead, the committee would hold a public meeting to explain the process in more detail to residents. “One of the things we asked for is the municipal treasurer to handle all the financials for the Communities in Bloom process,” said Adams. The hope is for Merrickville to take part in the 2016 CIB process, but the idea may not come to fruition until 2017, said Adams. “This would be huge accreditation for Merrickville,” said Adams. “Communities in Bloom is putting places on the map left, right and centre.” She said tourism in Merrickville has been dropping because of the economy. “It’s been a rough seven years for business owners, I would say,” said Adams. She said Merrickville is known for its events, including the Christmas train, car show, bike show, artisan tour and garden tour. “If you look at events like Christmas in Merrickville and

the car show, it took someone to step and start the process,” said Adams. “The same can be said for Communities in Bloom.” She said council was unanimously pleased with the idea, but needed time to determine the financial viability. “They will be discussing it and bringing forward resolutions based on what we’ve asked for,” said Adams. She said the CIB program is about bringing the community together and showcasing all the hard work that’s already been done in the village. “This will create an even greater sense of community pride,” said Adams. “The publicity we will gain just by being in the program is incredible.” She said the economic benefits would be well worth engaging in the process. “It raises property values,” said Adams. “There’s a whole list of benefits.” She said she would to see other area communities, such as Westport, Kemptville, Manotick, Richmond and Carleton Place, take part in the CIB program as well. Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND “If you go through the list, Connie Adams, Merrickville resident and business owner, outside her home on Wellingthere aren’t a lot of communities around here taking part,” said ton Street. Adams. “It would be great to see the entire surrounding area become a tourism destination.” About CIB Communities in Bloom focuses on enhancing green spaces in communities. It was established in 1995 - 29 participating municipalities were honoured at the first awards ceremonies on Parliament Hill - with the guidance of Britain in Bloom, Tidy Towns of Ireland and Villes et Villages Fleuris de France. The program now includes hundreds of communities across the country and an international challenge involving communities from the United States, Asia and several European countries allows participants to compete internationally. The program consists of communities receiving information and being evaluated either provincially or nationally by a volunteer jury of trained professionals on the accomplishments of their entire community (municipal, private, corporate and institutional sectors, citizens) on eight key criteria.

O’Farrell Financial Services has agreed to be the title sponsor of the Kemptville Youth Centre book fair for the next two years. “We are very excited for next year already,” said Robin Heald, Kemptville Youth Centre Executive Director. Compared to last year, the book fair grew in size by roughly 4,000 books and funds by $6,000. The 2015 book fair, consisting of 46,000 books – roughly 30,000 of which were sold – raked in over $21,000 for the KYC. Last year, the book fair toppled old records by bringing in $15,000. “We are hoping to continue growing the book fair to the point of being able to cover all building related expenses with the funds,” said Heald, who explained the KYC has to fundraise roughly $30,000 a year to keep the building open to local youth. “We are thrilled to be over the amount raised last year.” The book fair is one of four major fundraising events, including Jail & Bail to cover programming costs, the Celebrity Breakfast to cover insurance costs and the Investors Group Classic Golf Tournament to cover utility costs. Every year, the KYC has to fundraise $70,000 to remain operational. In total, 46 volunteers – 50 per cent of whom were youth – donated over 400 hours of time to the book fair. Volunteers spent Sept. 2 – 4 packing up the roughly 16,000 to 18,000 remaining books. “The volunteers do an amazing job,” said Heald. “A great big, huge thank-you to everyone who pitched in this year. There’s no way we could do this without you.”

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Kemptville Youth Centre Executive Director Robin Heald packs-up books on Sept. 3. The funds from this year’s book fair will cover the KYC’s mortgage for one year ($12,900), property taxes (just under $3,000) and building maintenance related expenses for the whole year. She said about 800 people came through the book fair over the course of the weekend, many of whom use the annual book fair as their primary source of reading material – donating back last year’s goods to make room for this year’s. The book fair also featured donation based BBQ’s each day, which brought in a further $500 of funds for the KYC.

Energy East won’t ‘impact natural gas prices,’ says spokesperson Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Ontario consumers don’t need to worry about the Energy East Pipeline causing an increase in natural gas costs, according to a TransCanada spokesperson. “TransCanada, for decades, has been the bulk wholesaler of natural gas for companies like Gaz Metro, Enbridge and Union Gas,” said Tim Duboyce, spokesperson for the Energy East Pipeline. TransCanada announced on Aug. 24 that an agreement has been struck with Gaz Metro, Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas resolving the gas distribution company’s issues with Energy East. As previously reported in the Kemptville Advance, the Ontario Energy Board released a report about the Energy East pipeline on Aug. 13, stating concerns about an increase in natural gas costs for

Ontario consumers. A press release from TransCanada states, ‘the agreement ensures that Energy East and the Eastern Mainline Project will provide gas consumers in Eastern Canada with sufficient natural gas transmission capacity and reduced natural gas transmission costs.’ “What’s happened over the years is increasingly these distributors have been getting their natural gas from new sources, such as shale gas sources in the Northeast US,” said Duboyce. He explained the source shift is due to proximity, resulting in lower towing costs. “What that means is the gas pipeline we intend to convert is under contracted,” said Duboyce. “It’s not used for most of the year.” TransCanada proposes to convert 3,000 kilometers of one of its Canadian Mainline pipelines from natural gas to oil service for Energy East. See DEAL page K9

“The BBQ’s served two purposes; feeding the hungry volunteers, to keep them working longer and bringing in some additional funds for the KYC,” said Heald. She said fair goers were very generous – consistently rounding up on their purchases to donate a little extra to the KYC. “We had people doing things like paying $20 for a hot dog,” said Heald. “People were very generous.” Leftover books on onto their next adventure; being packed up for Youth Centres Canada Travelling Book Fair, which may be split into two this year. “Youth Centres Canada will let us know where the books are going,” said Heald. “From here, they’ll go to a number of different youth centers to help raise funds.” She said likely the books will travel to Smiths Falls next. “We’re actually thinking we may have enough left over to split into two travelling book fairs,” said Heald. “One would stay in the Ottawa Valley area and the other may circle around Peterborough.” She said the book fair would not be possible without the many wonderful sponsors, including the site sponsor (Ferguson Forest Centre), check out sponsor (Urbandale), Patterson Hadden and Brown, Kemptville Mini Storage, ActionCoach, Remax Connections Realty, Total Move Management, M5 Digital, In the Moment Event Planning and Design, Styves Photos, The Law Office of Connie Lamble, Kemptville Fabric Shoppe, The Rahimkhani Dental Clinic, North Grenville Business Builders, The Workshop Dance Studio and Canadian Tire, to name a few. “Sponsorship was a huge part of our success this year,” said Heald.

OPINION

Plastic abomination

verything is wrapped in plastic. Slices of cheese, children’s toys, picture frames, granola bars, fruits, vegetables and even butchered meat. All wrapped in plastic. The grandmother of the Sacred Water Walk, Josephine Mandamin, said something that really stuck with me – when you wrap something in plastic, it dies. So why is everything wrapped in plastic? First off, removing children’s toys from their respective packaging is frustrating. There is no purpose to 90 per cent of the packaging. Why can’t a truck just be a truck and sit on a shelf? Why does it need to be secured with 4,000 plastic ties? Whatever happened to simplicity? Are marketing ploys really worth the waste? Cheese doesn’t need to be wrapped in plastic. It needs to be put on a plate and stored in the fridge, where if it moulds in a few days, so be it. Cheese is supposed to be mouldy – not suffocated by plastics and pumped full of preservatives. It’s not natural. Meat should never be wrapped in plastic. It should be butchered as needed and put in a paper bag. As it was done for decades before wrapping everything in plastic became the norm. Plastic water bottles serve no purpose, aside from not having to wait five whole seconds to fill up a reusable water bottle. Convenience is what has shattered the environment – plain and simple. By spending every waking moment in a throw-away society, where everything is onetime use to cut down on the nuance of having to

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

clean prior to reuse, we have grown up thinking plastic is normal. Of course, it serves its purpose of being a cheap, effective way to make useful objects, such as a chair. But honestly, I’ve sat on pretty comfy tree stumps that didn’t wind up in a landfill or floating around in the ocean (I hope). There are, and always have been, other ways to make things aside from plastic. Sad facts – According to ecowatch.com only five per cent of plastic produced in the world is recovered and reused; enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times; the average American throws away approximately 185 pounds of plastic per year; plastic accounts for around 10 per cent of the total waste generated by humans; Americans throw away 35 billion plastic water bottles every year; more than one million bags are used every minute and it takes between 500 and 1,000 years for plastic to degrade. According to the journal Science, eight million metric tonnes of plastic ends up in the ocean every year. People touch plastic hundreds of times in a day. I am touching it right now, as I write this. Try for a day to count all the plastic objects you touch and see just how much plastic has invaded our lives. Plastic is taking over the world. Move over environment, the sheriff is coming to town.

Despite the best that civilization can do, when left unopposed, nature has a way of moving in and taking over. This was once a busy gas station in the area.

Of ghosts and happy memories at the end of summer

am writing this column on Sept. 4th. This would be my father’s 74th birthday if we hadn’t lost him in January 2008. As I pore over old photos and memories rise to the surface, so do the tears. They come so easily, even after seven years! When we lost Dad, a friend who had lost her husband three years earlier said it wasn’t getting any easier for her. I remember thinking at the time, I hope the searing pain subsides a bit but I was also very afraid of the memory of my father becoming dull and fading away. I want to keep him with me, always. He was such a strong force in all of our lives and a part of me feels a little lost and confused without him here. The memory, energy or spirit of Dad, whatever it is, has come back to me vividly since he passed. At first it was in dreams. Often I hear his voice in my head. Sometimes his cuss words or inappropriate sayings spill, unchecked, from my mouth. As I looked through photos today another incident came to mind where his presence felt very real. In 2009, the Farmer and I

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

were experiencing summer as recreational boat owners. The smell of the boat fuel, the water, the sun on skin - and watching my husband standing at the wheel with the wind in his hair just brought so many memories of Dad rushing back. I closed my eyes and stirred up the sight of him perched on the top of the Captain’s chair, cigarette in hand. We went out on the Rideau Lakes, Dad’s charts in hand. My father had marked his favourite swimming holes and places to stop for lunch, in his script, right on the map. His spirit was so strong with us that day. When we pulled in to the locks at the Narrows, I noticed an older man, tanned to leather-brown, wearing boat shoes, worn shorts and a gold chain.

We met eyes and smiled as I excused myself to step past him on the dock. He perched on the edge of the picnic table. A few minutes later we were standing at the locks. The tanned man leaned over the locks as the boats slowly rose to the surface, chatting with the boaters, asking them about their boats and where they were from. It didn’t register with me at first but when the man suddenly appeared at my side to casually comment on the weather, the memory of my father hit me like a wave. He WAS my father for a moment. I dissolved into a heap, unable to control my tears. I remember stepping back, away from the water’s edge as my husband’s arms enfolded me. I think the Farmer whispered an apology to the confused man. I don’t remember much else about that day. I think I sheepishly smiled and waved at the man as we left in our boat but I can’t be sure. On second glance, he didn’t really look much like Dad after all. But there was just something about him. I like to think Dad was there that day to share the boating experience

with me one more time. I have a photo of my Dad, not a very flattering one but he’s in his favourite summer uniform: boat shoes and shorts, bare-chested and leather-tanned. Today on his birthday, I’m wearing his gold chain. Dad so loved to be near the water. I’m not much of a water person; I feel much more at home on land. He used to tease me that I wasn’t a real Leeson because I get seasick on most boats. As summer wound down he would spend every available moment on the water. Larry Leeson, the teacher, didn’t like a school year that began before Sept. 4. He preferred to enjoy his

birthday out on the water for one last hurrah before it was back to the chalkboards and Bunsen burners of the science classroom. I think I remember at least one year where he just didn’t show up to work until his birthday had passed, even though Labour Day was long gone. I don’t want to freak any of the young ones out who are currently attending classes on the site but as school ramps up for another year I am pretty sure the spirit of Larry Leeson is walking the halls of the old North Grenville District High School, along with a few of his closest friends. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Deal struck with gas distribution companies

He explained the mainline pipeline, which also used to export natural gas to the US before shale sources were utilized, is only used a few weeks out of the year. “The segment of pipeline the local distributors were concerned about was the segment between North Bay and Ottawa,” said Duboyce. “They were concerned that if it was converted, it would cause a shortage of gas and price hikes for consumers.” The Eastern Mainline pipeline, between 250 and 300 kilometers of new natural gas pipeline in the Toronto/Montreal corridor where demand is strongest, is the answer to those concerns, said Duboyce. He explained the Eastern Mainline Project would meet capacity needs for distributors, including gas transmission contracts resulting from both 2016 and 2017 new capacity projections, plus additional capacity. “Converting the 3,000 kilometers of unused pipeline will deliver about $100 million in savings over the next 35 years by optimizing infrastructure,” said Duboyce. He explained the local distribution companies are now satisfied that Energy East won’t result in an increase in natural gas costs for Ontario consumers. “The mainline pipeline is still in development, in terms of what they need,” said Duboyce. He said the capacity required for the Eastern Mainline pipeline would be determined by October. “Energy East will not have an impact on the price of natural gas,” said Duboyce. The proposal for the Eastern Mainline pipeline was submitted to the National Energy Board on Oct. 30, 2014 – the same day as Energy East.

Background The Energy East Pipeline is a proposed 4,600-kilometer oil pipeline that will transport 1.1-million barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan directly to refineries and port terminals in Eastern Canada. TransCanada operates a network of natural gas pipelines that extends more than 68,000 kilometers, tapping into virtually all major gas supply basins in North America. TransCanada is one of the continent’s largest providers of gas storage and related services with 368 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. A growing independent power producer, TransCanada owns or has interests in over 10,900 megawatts of power generation in Canada and the United States. TransCanada is developing one of North America’s largest liquids delivery systems. TH

North Grenville Curling Club celebrates 10th anniversary in the community

R0011948938_0307

The North Grenville Curling Club is celebrating their 10th anniversary. Prior to becoming a formal club, after acquiring a lease agreement for the old Kemptville rink at 200 Reuben Crescent in 2005, the NGCC was the Kemptville and District Curling Association. “The association was basically a bunch of people who lived in the area, who curled at other clubs by renting ice time,” said Rob Kluke, president of the NGCC. “The association’s 25th anniversary coincides with our 10th.” He explained a number of improvements have been made to the facility, since the NGCC took over the lease, including foundation work, accessibility work and window replacements. “A good chunk is still reminiscent of the old rink,” said Kluke. “The edge boards, stands and old Zamboni room are still in place.” The club is open to anyone with an interest in curling; no experience required. “We welcome everybody with open arms,” said Kluke. “We’d love to have more members.” The NGCC has about 270 adult members and 52 youth members. He explained the NGCC features adult leagues, the Little Rock program (children up to 12), bantam (12 to 17) and junior (18 to 20). “There are quite a few members from the original association and quite a few new people,” said Kluke. He knows first hand how welcoming the NGCC is, having moved to the North Grenville community from Barrhaven. “I joined the club nine years ago,” said Kluke. “There’s a real community feel. I’ve curled with other clubs and you’re just a face in the crowd. You come here and before you know it, people are calling you by your first name and saying hello to you in stores.” He explained the NGCC is a social environment – not high stress or overly competitive. “People come here to get some exer-

cise and social interaction,” said Kluke. He said the club focuses on youth involvement, by inviting local schools to bring classes to take part in curling. “We bring the kids in to get an introduction to curling,” said Kluke.

The Kemptville Wildcat Women’s Recreational Softball League wrapped up their inaugural season with a fast paced year-end tournament at Riverside Park. Over 50 women participated in the league this year with players coming from Merrickville, North Grenville and even Osgoode. With an age range of 18 years to 55+ the talent and skill of the Women’s division was very diverse. Some women had never played before and some had played competitive ball throughout their youth and teen years. This diversity made for a great year for the ladies. Opening ceremonies were held on Saturday. With the Women’s League having adopted the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program as their charity of choice Frank Hoffman, the owner of the Canadian Tire Kemptville store, was on hand to throw out the first pitch. The excitement was palpable with the sun shining beautifully for the tournament. After regular League play, Conquer the Unhealthy You finished first with an undefeated record. With all teams ready to bring their best game, the tournament play provided excellent competition and lots of fun for all. Friday night all four teams played and the stage was set for a great playoff day Saturday. Riverside Park was alive

with softball. The renovations to diamond three were put to good use. The ladies were very grateful for the cover of shade on such a hot day. The Blue Jays field of Dreams grant was the talk of all teams in the league as they were the first to play on the newly improved field. Many thanks to the Municipality of North Grenville’s Parks and Recreation Department for all of their hard work making sure the diamond was ready for tournament play. For the B finals Sugar Belle Bake shop was victorious edging a win over Spa Sans Souci. In the A finals the Hurley’s team saw the win against Conquer the Unhealthy You for the Red team to become tournament champs with a score of only 6-3. A very close hard fought battle indeed. The Women’s League held their Year End Banquet at The New Rideau Restaurant. First place medals were awarded to the Conquer the Unhealthy You for finishing first in League play with an undefeated season. The Hurley’s team was awarded first place medals for winning the year-end tournament. The Women’s League Volunteer of the year Award was given to Elaine Triemstra for her work with the Wildcats Girls Softball program. Elaine volunteered as a mentor and instructor in pitching. Thank you Elaine for your commitment to KWBSC. The women also held

GARDENER’S CORNER

Gardens Remembered In to visit with Dad at lunchtime today at his long term care facility in Prescott. My sister Barb and I alternate days to make sure he is getting enough to eat and to free up some of the Personal Support Workers so they can attend to more challenged residents. It’s amazing how many folks you get to know by putting on their bibs or cutting their meat or just helping them get their wheelchair up to the table. And slowly the stories begin to emerge. Where they lived, their families and what they did for a living. One such resident is Ed. More about Ed in a minute. I’m getting ahead of myself. One of the options for lunch today was roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes with gravy and mixed vegetables. One of Dad’s favourite meals. And he did it justice. He rounded out the meal with some tomato juice then fruit salad and coffee for dessert. After lunch he said he wanted to lay down and have a nap. He’s 96 years old. He’s earned his nap. I took my leave and headed out to the car when I noticed Ed out in the smoking area at the end of the parking lot. It was the perfect day so I thought I would join him and just chat a little First, a little of Ed’s history. He served with the RCMP and later with the O.P.P. He left policing and returned to university to get a degree in Theology. Shortly after, he was ordained an Anglican Priest. His parish was in Northern

Quebec on the shores of James Bay. He has shared stories and his pictures with me and thanks to the internet, I found and printed some pictures of his old church for him. He knows about my history in gardening and I told him I was coming up on deadline for this article and hadn’t come up with a topic. “I know what you should write about, the garden you and Trevor planted here on the patio. If you had been here a little earlier, you would have seen about a third of the residents munching on the cherry tomatoes you guys planted.” Trevor is the maintenance man at the home and with a little help from a couple of the residents early in the spring we planted peas, beans, cucumber, onions, cabbage, herbs, grapes and a lot of Sweet Million cherry tomatoes. They are well named. We’ve had a bumper crop. The containers and raised boxes were adorned with colourful annuals. And now at harvest time it has become an oasis for the residents to snack on some fresh veggies and just sit in the summer sun and watch things growing. Everything in the garden was planned to be wheelchair accessible. It’s so rewarding to see the resident’s faces and that little glimmer of gardens remembered.

Kemptville 73’s kick off 2015-16 season Brian Wilson

After a short training camp and four exhibition games the last two weeks of August, the 73’s were ready to open their 2015-16 season on Labour Day weekend. The scene would be the Bell Sensplex in Kanata where all 12 CCHL teams would play three games each. The hockey weekend showcase included a new wrinkle this year. The newly formed Midget AAA league would also be playing three games each during this showcase. The Midget weekend included 16 teams. So with 84 games being played over four days, there was definitely enough hockey for everyone to see. As well as parents, family, friends and hockey fans, the venue was full as close to 200 scouts, recruiters and player management representatives were in attendance. Most NHL teams were represented as well as teams from the AHL, OHL and QJMHL. Recruiters from Canadian Universities and from NCAA Division 1 and Division 3 Schools were present. As a sampling, NHL reps were from Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Buffalo, New York and more. Several Major Junior teams were there including Ottawa and Gatineau. NCAA schools included Michigan State, North Dakota, Colorado, Maine, Yale, Cornell and many, many more. The 73’s first game was on Saturday, Sept. 5 against the Cumberland Grads. Just over halfway through the first, Cumberland scored on a turnover in the Kemptville end. In the second, with a 1-0 lead, the Grads scored 1:19 into the frame to make it 2–0. The 73’s took over the period and dominated from that point on. Newcomer, Dean Kiriacou, scored Kemptville’s first goal of the season with assists going to Cam Russel and Tyler Young. That was followed three minutes later by a power play goal from Matt Tugnutt. Jason Tackett and Kiria-

cou picked up the assists. With a minute and a half to go in the second, the 73’s had a costly turnover and Cumberland capitalized on it to take a 3–2 lead after two. The third period was scoreless with Kemptville back in control of the game, outshooting the Grads 16–9, but they could not get the tying goal. Cumberland added an empty net goal with 38 seconds left to take the win by a score of 4-2. Dean Kiriacou was named the player of the game for Kemptville. Kemptville’s second game was classified as a home game even though it was in Kanata. The Gloucester Rangers provided the opposition. The first period was scoreless with the Rangers holding the edge in shots. Early in the second, the 73’s scored twice. Matt Tugnutt and Cam Russell put Kemptville on the board. Owen Guy, Brandon Cole and Bobby Dow received the assists. Gloucester got one back less than a minute later. Before the end of the period, Dean Kiriacou restored the 73’s lead on a nice setup from Cole and Russell. Holding a 3-1 lead going into the third, Kaelan O‘Flynn scored his first of the year, assisted by Adam Alavi and Jason Tackett. Gloucester then scored twice within a one minute span to bring the score to 4-3. Just a minute later, Tugnutt scored his second of the game to make it a 5-3 game. Guy and Russell got the helpers. Cam Russell was selected as player of the game in the 5-3 victory. Game 3 of the weekend was on Monday, September 7 and the Kanata Lasers were the opponent. Both teams were sporting a 1-1 record before action began. Kanata opened the scoring at the 16:12 mark of the first but 41 seconds later Kemptville tied it up. Dean Kiriacou scored his third goal in as many games. It was setup by Jake Gaudet and Tyler Beauparlant. In the second, both teams exchanged goals to end the frame

deadlocked at 2. Adam Alavi scored his first CCHL goal to tie the game with Liam Watson drawing the only assist. Kemptville took control of the game in the third period. At 3:40, Jason Tackett scored from Alex Row to make it 3-2. That was quickly followed by Alavi’s second of the game, assisted by Jack Hale and Row. Before the 10 minute

mark, Bobby Dow notched his first to make it 5-2. The lone assist went Tyson Kirkby. With a little over a minute left, Cam Russell and Brandon Cole set up Victor Tracy’s first CCHL goal. Adam Alavi was selected as the player of the game. The 73’s home opener will be on Friday night, Sept. 11 at the North Gren-

ville Municipal Centre. Puck drop is at 7:30. The Pembroke Lumber Kings will be in town. Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13, the Hawkesbury Hawks will provide the opposition. Game time is 2:00. Support your local team. Come on out! Excitement on ice! See you at the rink!

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are ready to move in new and unexpected directions. Your boss or supervisor may appreciate any new ideas you have and your willingness to try new things. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many fun things are expected to unfold this week, Taurus. With so many people to see and errands to run, try to make some time to relax so you don’t fall victim to fatigue.

dom-used door hinges, locks and other mechanical components may need some extra TLC and lubricant. Tires can lose air pressure. Internal engine parts and fuel injection systems can experience carbon and varnish buildup due to low speed operation. For vehicles undergoing this type of operation, having a full inspection twice a year isn’t overkill. The decision on which fluids/filters should be changed and which services should be performed can then be safely made based on the actual condition of the vehicle, not some arbitrary, one-size-fits-all guide. I would recommend asking your dealer service consultant to work with you on this basis to avoid spending money you don’t need to. If they can’t, there are plenty of other facilities to choose from.

ranty would be voided if their recommendations weren’t followed. Neither dealerships nor carmakers can void a warranty just because an owner chooses to follow a manufacturer’s guide over the retailers’ recommendations or chooses to service his or her auto at a private facility. However, if a speciﬁc failure occurs and it can be demonstrated that is was due to lack of servicing according to the carmakers schedule, then expect to dig out the plastic and pay the piper. While a vehicle that travels less than 6,000 km per year and is driven by a very conscientious owner may seem like a low-cost maintainer, under-using a vehicle can bring just as many concerns as overusing one. Engine oil can become moisture contaminated due to short runs that don’t fully warm up the engine. Brakes can be prone to excessive amounts of binding rust due to extended periods of downtime. Sel-

Pumpkin cheesecake is a great fall treat Take advantage of the abundance of pumpkins in your fall baking. This cheesecake has all the taste and creaminess of pumpkin pie without having to make pastry. Ingredients • 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) graham wafer crumbs • 3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar • 1/4 cup (50 mL) melted butter

Stir in melted butter. Press ﬁrmly into 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan; wrap bottom of pan with foil, set aside. Filling: In small bowl, mix together sugar and cornstarch. In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar and cornstarch together until very smooth. In separate large bowl, whisk together eggs and brown sugar. Stir in pumpkin, yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Fold in cream cheese mixture until well blended. Pour over prepared crust.

A special thank you to “Diaylsis” both Smiths Falls and Kingston for going above and beyond with their extraordinary care giving and family support and Dr. White with expert decision making. Smiths Falls Emergency Department and Ambulance/ transit Services for an excellent care and all the trips to the hospital, all physicians (Dr. Horsey seems to be on a lot) for abiding by John’s wishes and making it possible to pass at home. CCAC, Red Cross and St. Elizabeth for all their dedication, skills, patience and training…it made it possible to keep him at home. All the visits from family and friends while John was not well was also very much appreciated. He looked so forward to those! It’s sometimes easy to forget there are nice people out there doing nice things for others. Laurette Whitney and Family

Christine (“Criss”) Elizabeth

August 8, 1963 August 17, 2015 Christine (Criss) Elizabeth Thompson passed away peacefully at dawn in Kingston General Hospital (KGH) on August 17, 2015, in the loving presence of siblings Lynn and Jamie and friend, Janet McGregor. Criss was born in Ottawa on August 8, 1963 to parents John and the late Lois Thompson. She was the beloved sister of Lynn Thompson of Ottawa, and Doug and Jamie of Toronto, and the proud aunt of Duncan, Chester and Rosalie (Doug and Elaine) and Islay and Faryn (Jamie and Avon), and fond step-grandmother of Blake. Moreover, she was the devoted mother of Celeste, now a partner with Kevin Hennelly and his daughter Blake. Criss was educated in Alta Vista Public School (Ottawa), Buckingham, Browne & Nichols (Cambridge, Mass) and Oakville-Trafalgar High School (Oakville). She took Creative Writing at David Thomson University in Nelson, BC, and participated in a creative workshop at the Banff School of Fine Arts in Banff, AB. Although her main focus as a single parent was in raising Celeste, her other activities included management of TV festivals at the Banff School, real estate sales in Guelph, and TV and movie production in Toronto. Earlier in her life, Criss pursued her passion in film production, including Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Banff International Film Festival. She also excelled at making entertaining personal videos, including one of her father trying desperately to start an outboard motor, to the tune of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”! Criss was very personable, intelligent, and creative. She was the life of the party in annual family outings to Stratford, always with some new game to mix things up. She was quick-witted, and renowned for contrived puns. More significantly, she could act decisively in emergency situations. In one swimming class, she saved a student from drowning, while the instructor was standing idly by. She aimed high, for herself and her daughter. Even when her body was declining from liver disease, she retained a feisty determination to enjoy life, including kayaking. We miss her deeply. The family wish to give special thanks for the outstanding medical and social team at the KGH; Perth residents who befriended Criss in her short stay there; relatives and friends who visited or contacted Criss during her month in hospital; and Lynn and Jamie for their boundless attention and communication with family and friends in the last month of her life, which created a strong foundation of loving awareness surrounding Criss. A tribute to Criss’ life will be held at the Gilchrist Chapel-McIntyre & Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi St, Guelph (519-824-0031) on September 12, 2015 at 1:30 pm. It will be preceded by a visitation at 12:30 pm and followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to JeanTweed.com, KGH or a charity of your choice. We invite you to leave your donations or condolences online at www.gilchristchapel.com

JACKSON – In loving memory of our sweet Nancy, who left us two years ago, September 13, 2013. You are gone, but not forgotten As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking Thoughts of you are always near. To us you were so special What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today. They say time heals every sorrow But we know it isn’t true, Because it hurts as much today As it did two years ago. Loved with a love beyond all telling Missed with a grief beyond all tears Until we meet again Mom, Cindy, Doug, Kevin, Donna, Heather And Families

MORRIS – In loving memory of our dear sister, Cindy, who passed away September 12, 1980. Memories have such lovely ways, They give us back our yesterdays, Treasured memories keep you near, As time unfolds another year. Dearly loved and missed by your family

Field naturalists invite you to take a peep at the wild bird care centre On Thursday, Sept. 17, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists begin a new season of monthly natural history talks, this year with the theme ‘Naturally Special Places.” All talks take place in the Social Hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Guest speaker will be Patty McLaughlin of the Wild Bird Care Centre, also known to many in the area as leader of MVFN’s popular Young Naturalists program for six- to 11-year-olds. McLaughlin holds a B.Sc. in Zoology and a Master of Science degree from Carleton University. In 2013, Patty received The Elizabeth Le Geyt Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to public awareness and care for wild birds. During her presentation: “Sparrows, Warblers, and Hawks, OH MY! Taking a ‘Peep’ at the Wild Bird Care Centre”, Patty will introduce us to this very special place in nature, the Wild Bird Care Centre. Patty is a full-time staff member of the centre located on Moodie Drive in Nepean. Established in 1981 by the late Kathy Nihei, the centre was incorporated in 1991 as the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre and has operated at the Stony Swamp Conservation Area location since 1992. It is the only place in the Ottawa Valley dedicated to the care, treatment, and release of sick, injured and orphaned wild birds. The centre cares for over 2300 wild birds annually. Throughout Patty’s captivating presentation, we expect to learn more about the history of this naturally special place, as well as details of their daily operations, including stories of the most common patients as well as some of their AUCTIONS

Explore the art of preserving at SFHS meeting Charles McLenaghan

The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Memberships taken out this month include up to the end of 2016. Our speaker will be Kathy Willoughby of Turnwill Gardens on the Jasper Road, 379 Road 17. Kathy will be speaking about the art of preserving, explaining the whole process. She will have her own preserves available for purchase as well. Kathy hopes to have a hands-on workshop on Sept. 19 if there are enough interested members. There will be a sign-up sheet available. You have the option of bringing your own fruits or veggies to preserve or you can purchase them from her at the workshop. Back in June, yes way back then, our winners of the photo contest were: Carol Stanley first, Brian Bellevue second and Bob Stanley third. There were five submissions and a healthy 30 votes. The topic for September is Animal’s Enjoying Nature’s Jewels. The final contest for October is Fall’s Changing Colours. This is a people’s choice contest so members, enjoy the

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society photos and vote for your favourite. In July a number of members enjoyed a day out visiting four of our members’ gardens. It is so uplifting and amazing to see what our hosts have been able to achieve through imagination, dedication and hard work. We were able to learn about new plants, what they look like and where they are the happiest in the garden. We also learned about the evolution of their landscapes with some interesting before and after displays. We wish to thank Linda and Steve Svarckopf, Marcia and Barry Phillips, Carol and Bob Stanley and Anita and Josef Frigan. Thank you for sharing your gardens and for all of the work you had in preparing for our visit. Members enjoyed their lunches at Anita’s before heading off to nearby Rideau Woodland Ramble. Interest continues to grow in our Garden of the Month feature. We have had a large number of nominations
