phrebacka@metroland.com

Neon Night is a 5 km and 2 km non-competitive fun run/walk for all ages and abilities which takes place at night. Saturday, Sept. 23 marks the fourth annual Neon Night in Kemptville in Riverside Park at 200 Reuben Crescent. At the Sept. 11 North Grenville council meeting, Brenda Burich and Jennifer Healey of the Neon Night committee made a presentation about the event. “We thank you for declaring September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in North Grenville,” said Burich. “It brings awareness to the fact that children have different obstacles in their battle against this disease. Our flag looks pretty snazzy out there, too.” Proceeds from Neon Night help to fund childhood cancer research and over the last three years, the greater North Grenville community has raised more than $165,000.

Thousands of people across Canada gear up for Terry Fox Runs Sept. 17 BY STAFF

Hundreds of thousands of people across Canada are expected to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 17, a fundraising event taking place in over 700 communities nation-wide that continue to embody the indomitable spirit of Terry Fox. “In a year where we have enjoyed celebrating our country’s 150th birthday, it’s been great to hear so many Canadians say that participating in the Terry Fox Run in an important part of the celebration” — says Terry’s older brother Fred Fox. Terry was just 18 when he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his right leg. He was in his first year at Simon Fraser University studying kinesiology when he felt the pain in his knee. He had his leg amputated six inches above the knee and endured aggressive chemotherapy to eliminate remaining cancer cells. During his treatment, he witnessed daily reminders that two-thirds of cancer victims died of the disease. Instead of crushing his spirits, the sight of other patients suffering made him stronger and more compassionate. It was from this strength and compassion that the Marathon of Hope was born. Since Terry ran in 1980, Canadians have raised over $750 million for cancer research. This money is invested into projects with the greatest potential impact for patients. One such project is Multiple Myeloma Molecular Monitoring, underway in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. A team of researchers will work with more than 250 patients across Canada to advance the ability to characterize and monitor multiple my-

eloma in the blood and the bone marrow to better understand how current treatments work and develop new, more effective ones. On Sunday, Sept. 17, hundreds of thousands of Terry Fox supporters, family and friends, will participate in a favourite fall tradition to ensure that cancer research continues to make a difference. From coast to coast, Canadians will be celebrating the power of the human spirit. Local Runs • Almonte — registration at noon at the arena, with a 1 p.m. start; participate in the 5 km event with bike, rollerblades, wheelchair, or stroller; or run/walk the 10 km event. • Delta — Delta Fairgrounds, register at 8 a.m.; event is slated for an 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. time frame; barbecue and water stations available. Distances range from 1 km to 10 km. • Elgin — Lions Club at 19 Pineview Ave. registration at 9 a.m. event starts at 10 a.m. wit water and barbecue available. Distances include 4 km and 10 km. • Kemptville — Royal Canadian Legion at 100 Reuben Cres., registration at 9:30 a.m. starts at 10 a.m. participants can compete in the 2.5 km, 5 km or the 10 km distances. • Perth — Conlon Farm, registration from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m. starting at 10:30 a.m. Barbecue and water stations available, along with face painting, silent auction, bouncy castle and door prizes. All events are pet friendly as long as they’re on a leash. Anyone interested in joining a Terry Fox Run or donating can visit www. terryfox.org.

About TFF The Terry Fox Foundation is an international organization whose mission is to maintain the vision and principles of Terry Fox while raising money for cancer research through the annual Terry Fox Runs, School Runs and other fundraising initiatives.

Lanark County supports farmers due to this summer’s rainfall amounts Council passed a motion in support of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture’s (LFA) request to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the province to assess “disastrous” conditions resulting from record-setting rainfall this season, particularly in eastern Ontario, and to prepare to deliver emergency assistance to area farmers. The LFA noted the conditions resulted in delayed planting, poor emergence and delayed forage harvesting, and that existing risk mitigation programs “are not expected to adequately cover the expected losses.” Farmers have indicated crop insurance may cover some costs, but not loss of income. Correspondence to the LFA stated many farmers are in disaster mode. For more information, contact Marie White, Tourism Manager, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1530. Support for VIA Plan Council passed a motion supporting VIA Rail’s highfrequency train project. It calls upon the federal government to provide financial support, for the province to include the project in its list of priority infrastructure projects and for both governments to ensure the project is carried out in a way that enables users to have direct and fast access to railway stations and hubs in communities through eastern Ontario. VIA has submitted its proposal for the WindsorQuebec corridor, which is the busiest in Canada. It includes the route from Toronto through Peterborough to Ottawa with a view to improving “the quality, frequency and reliability of passenger rail service” while “attracting more customers” and “stimulating economic growth.” The motion notes the project allows for more options for connections with other transportation modes, such as light rail and airports, and it will require significant financial contributions from the federal government and private sector. It further states increased rail service will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, which supports Canada’s environmental objectives under the Paris Protocol. For more informa-

Local municipalities were consulted throughout the process for input, and revisions to the Official Plan Policy will enable them to protect ANSIs even where the county plan does not.

Enjoy maple workshop for beginners Interested in getting started making maple syrup? The Lanark & District Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (LDMSPA) is hosting a Maple Syrup Beginner’s Workshop on Sept. 30, 2017, an all-day event to educate those looking to enter into maple syrup production on a home or commercial scale, as well as veteran producers looking to expand their knowledge base. The course, which runs from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be held at the Lanark & District Civitan Hall, at 2144 Pine Grove Rd., Lanark Village. Participants in the workshop will get the basics on identifying maple trees and tapping, sap handling and storage, equipment and supplies, boiling, density, filtering and bottling, and regulations and grading. A panel discussion and information on maple syrup production resources will also provide valuable information for syrup producers. “Everyone can learn something from this workshop,” Dwight James, LDMSPA director explained, “Maple syrup production is one of those industries where there’s always more to learn, and for beginners getting started the learning curve can be intimidating.” LDMSPA’s workshop is intended to reduce or eliminate that steep learning curve for entering maple syrup production, while offering experienced producers access to resources and information for expanding production or keeping up with changing regulations.

“LDMSPA is here to support producers at all levels,” James explained. LDMSPA is a group of over 90 maple syrup producers located in the Lanark, Frontenac, Leeds and Grenville counties, as well as the Ottawa-Carleton areas of Eastern Ontario. LDMSPA is one of 11 local organizations that make up the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (OMSPA), a provincial organization that represents maple syrup producers across the province. As a membership-based organization LDMSPA supports its members by providing a forum to promote the production of maple syrup products, assisting members to stay current on changing industry regulations, and providing opportunities for networking, and education on the maple syrup industry in Ontario. Registration for the Maple Syrup Beginner’s Workshop can be completed online through Eventbrite: www.maplesyrupworkshop.eventbrite.ca or by emailing ldmspa@outlook.com. While Pre-registration is strongly recommended as space is limited, on-site registration will also be available between 8:15 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 30. Cost for the event is $20 for OMSPA members, and $30 for nonmembers. Registrants who join OMSPA will receive the discounted price of $20. Registration fees include lunch during the event. For more information visit www.ldmspa. com.

Catholic student trustee from Cornwall installed for 2017-2018 school year The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is pleased to announce that Andrew D’Alessio, a Grade 12 student at St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall, has been installed as the next Catholic student trustee for the CDSBEO. D’Alessio has assumed the position from Alexa Meeson, who served for the 2016-2017 school year. “As the new Catholic student trustee, I'm looking forward to working closely with the other secondary schools across the board. I also look forward to being the voice for all CDSBEO students at the board table." D’Alessio was elected to the position earlier this year by the student senate. “The CDSBEO has been so fortunate to have had excellent student trustees,” remarked board

chair, Todd Lalonde. “We look forward to working with trustee D’Alessio in his new role.” “I am very confident Andrew will be an exemplary advocate and a strong voice for all students in our board,” noted Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland. “The CDSBEO truly values the voice of our students, and we look forward to hearing about the great things happening in our schools through Andrew in his new role.” As Catholic student trustee, D’Alessio will represent the more than 12,800 students across the board. He will lead the student senate, which is made up of representatives from all CDSBEO secondary schools. The senate discusses student issues, gathers student opinion, and helps to develop communications with all students across the CDSBEO. It also provides a means for stu-

dent council leaders and senators to gain leadership skills. In addition to serving on the Board of Trustees and the Catholic student senate, trustee D’Alessio will have the opportunity to meet other student trustees, and trustees from across the province.

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONCERNING AMENDMENTS TO THE PROCEDURAL BY-LAW The Council of the Corporation of the County of Lanark is hereby giving notice that minor amendments to the Procedural By-Law (housekeeping in nature) will be considered at the September 20th, 2017 meeting of County Council. The meeting will commence at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Lanark County Administration Building, located at 99 Christie Lake Road, in Perth.

Become a hospice volunteer

S

ince 1999, the Volunteer Hospice Palliative Care Services of Community Home Support – Lanark County (CHSLC) have played an important role supporting palliative care needs in the community of Lanark County. After last week’s story about hospice volunteering, we’re told this week that there was so much interest that there will be a new volunteer orientation taking place at the Perth office on Sept. 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. Rebecca Bowie Coordinator, Hospice Palliative Care Services, will hold the meeting at the Lanark County office located at 40 Sunset Blvd. in Perth. According to the hospice website, volunteers are adult men and women of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in helping, listening to and communicating well with clients and their families. Hospice volunteers are caring and compassionate people who give freely of their time, talent and energy. Volunteers need to complete a screening interview, a police check, have available two reference checks and enrol in a 30-hour palliative care training program that is offered free of

charge to those volunteers. You will learn about communication, death and dying, pain and symptom management, confidentiality, infection control and other palliative issues. There are many options about volunteering with hospice, Bowie noted. You can volunteer in home or hospital, at day hospice, as a support group facilitator, or offer your services in education or fundraising. Hospice palliative care gives people with lifelimiting illnesses the opportunity to live comfortably and as fully as possible no matter where they are. The care also extends to friends and family members, helping them to care for their loved one and to care for themselves. The goal of providing hospice care is to maintain and/or improve the quality of a person’s life throughout his or her illness by offering dignity, encouragement and solace. Hospice concepts address comfort measures for people who are ill such as pain and symptom management. Care is administered holistically and aims to support the individual needs of each client and their loved ones.

Even burnt toast wasn’t wasted in the Depression years

ather was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my

sister Audrey and my mother had to take over. All of this meant of course, that our whole routine changed in the mornings, all because Father was getting a second cut of hay. And it didn’t mean, that even though I was so much younger, I’d get off scot free from the busy start to the day. School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table. Of course, it would have been set out before I went to bed. Father would be long gone, so I didn’t have to worry about frying a pan of potatoes and salt pork. But I did have to make the porridge, and make sure the bread was sliced and

The porridge was ready to be put on the toaster rack that would sit on top of the stove where I would have removed one of the lids, allowing the bread to brown over the hot coals. As soon as everyone came in from the barn, I had to fly into action. The brothers changed their clothes, Mother and Audrey washed up, and I put four slices of bread on the toaster rack, and started to ladle out the porridge. A pot

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Uncomplicate your will

When it comes to our finances, we often complicate matters more than they need to be. This is usually inadvertent – we have an intention to make something easy and clear-cut, but end up making it more complicated because we didn’t seek the right advice, or thought we knew more than we really did. Wills are no different – they can be as straightforward or complicated as we want them to be. But in situations where there are multiple beneficiaries or unique circumstances, getting the right advice at the beginning is key to reducing headaches down the road.

values can differ from one another, they can change over time, and their after-tax value may be less than what’s expected – all which complicates matters when it becomes clear that one beneficiary will receive more than the other, even if that wasn’t the original intention (for example, when dividing an estate between children). Updating your will and clearly defining equal distribution can help mitigate these situations.

The correct way to create a will is to start from scratch. Avoid pre-prepared will kits. It’s not that the wording in those kits is incorrect, but rather they don’t fully prepare people for what they may or may not need. This can result in a situation that becomes more The complicated nature of a will often arises complicated.

Natural built homes open to public Sunday, Sept. 24 Experience the look and feel of some unique green homes during the popular annual Ontario-wide Natural Homes self-guided tour, Sunday, Sept. 24, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., being organized by the Ontario Natural Building Coalition, a grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of natural building. In the Perth, Westport, Kingston area, a newly built rammed earth home and a large number of other

beautiful and unique natural homes, are among those welcoming visitors, together with over 30 others across the province. A $10 passport (available on-line at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca) provides admission to as many places across the province as you can visit in the day. Directions and other tour details are available at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca For those without internet access,

call 613-633-3557 before the day of the tour. This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. Most structures feature other "green" technologies as well, including solar and wind electricity, composting toilets, earthen plasters, green roofs, natural finishes and more inno-

vations. Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100 mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions.

Lanark County Community Action Network looking for new members Are you living in the Lanark County or Smiths Falls and wishing that things were different in your neighbourhood? Do you have concerns about the costs of life and the affordability of your home? Are you struggling to make ends meet on an income that doesn’t cover all your basic needs? Are you concerned about how decisions that impact your life are being made? Are you willing to learn how to take action to make change for yourself and others? If so, the Lanark County Community Action Network (LCCAN) wants to invite you to a meeting at the Table Community Food Centre in Perth to talk to other people with similar interests and to start to formulate an action plan to address the list of issues that local low-income community members and their allies are going to work together to address. This meeting is the beginning of the next phase of LCCAN’s housing outreach campaign that began last year with funding from the County of Lanark. For the next year, the table is receiving funding from the government of

Canada through the Homelessness Partnership Strategy — Rural and Remote funding that will enable us to continue to work with community members across the county on their housing concerns by making it possible for them to meet together regularly. The recruitment meeting will happen on Wednesday, Sept. 20 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at 190 Gore St. E. in Perth and will focus on how community members can act together to take action on the housing and homelessness issues that were identified in our 2016 survey of lowincome community members. This is a drop-in meeting so registration is not necessary. If you want to attend and need transportation help to come, please call 613-267-6428 ext. 4 or email beth@thetablecfc.org to arrange a ride or for reimbursement for gas costs. All community members are welcome to attend. A free, delicious lunch will be served at the end of the meeting. Submitted by the Table Community Food Centre

BarnDoor Productions' 23rd season opening "You're a bit ... rougher than I imagined, Mr. Dickens," says the Rev. Charles Dodgson on meeting the great novelist. Dodgson was the real name of Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. Dickens, of course, is possibly the greatest novelist of all time. It's a clash of personalities in BarnDoor Productions' season opener this October as Charles Dickens meets Charles/Lewis Dodgson/Carroll in A Perfect Likeness. The meeting (probably) never happened, but it is known that Dodgson once asked Dickens's publisher for his home address. Playwright Daniel Rover Singer has imagined what might have happened if Dickens had been invited to the reverend's rooms to sit for a photograph. Dodgson was an avid photographer and his surviving works are still original and interesting to this day. Dodgson was a fussy, delicate man who shunned the public, never indulged in excess and never really allowed himself to enjoy life — the fantasies in his writings are the total opposite of his life. Dickens was a huge personality, who loved to perform, loved excess, loved attention and revelled in life. How the two

might have gotten along makes for an intriguing, funny and thought-provoking piece of entertainment. To successfully bring these two giants of literature to life takes careful casting and BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has paired two of the area's strongest performers and their energy, even in early rehearsals, is infectious. Connor Williamson is a young Perth performer who already has two summers of experience with the Classic Theatre Festival, as well as roles in a number of BarnDoor shows, behind him. David Bird is a stalwart whose history with BDP goes back to their first production. Bird has become the area's première performer of Dickens, especially of A Christmas Carol, and now, he gets a chance to play Dickens himself. A Perfect Likeness is the first show of a season that combines classic with new and keeps it all fresh and alive. In December, it's an all-new take on a classic tale with BDP's new Cinderella panto — a traditional English-style fairy tale for kids with lots of fun for the adults and a few surprise, too. In February, you'll find out why BDP did a panto at Christmas, as Panto

Can Be Murder turns the set around and shows the happenings backstage during December's Cinderella! (By the way, that's original, too.) In April, it's Southern fried politics with a new show from one of the U.S.'s most important new writers: The Taming, by Lauren Gundersen, is a bitingly funny, brutally honest mix of American politics, Shakespeare and beauty pageant. When you've recovered from all that, the summer will bring plenty of entertainment, including a new version of an old play that's titled Willm Shaksper. All of that is at Perth's groundlevel, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, which also hosts Film Night International, who are returning for their sixth season at Full Circle, along with musical concerts, touring shows and much more. All of the details, including tickets for A Perfect Likeness and subscriptions for BDP's 23rd season are available online at www.barndoorproductions.ca. A Perfect Likeness runs Oct. 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Just call 613 267 1884 for tickets.

Kemptville Players mark 50th anniversary and a new season The Kemptville Players Inc. is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the Canadian production of Norm Foster's play, Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak. Rehearsals are well underway, so mark your calendars with the show dates: Oct. 26 to 29 at the Urbandale Arts Centre. See what happens when Sadie Flynn, a convicted husband killer just released from prison, arrives in the small town of Big Oak. When Sadie’s bus rolls in, the sleepy town has a huge wake-up call! Help us have the best season yet. A lot of plays have been rehearsed and performed over our 50-year history. Our very own and well-known Vida Hopson arrived in Kemptville in 1949 when Jim Morton was the head of an informal drama group called Play for Fun, a group that lasted until the 1950s. Then, after a 10year hiatus, Vida revived the group in April 1967, naming it the St. James Players. Its first production was Noel Coward's I'll Leave It To You, put on at Leslie Hall. By 1974, the group had changed its name to the Kemptville Players to reflect the community. The name was incorporated in 1980 so our name is now officially Kemptville Players Inc. or KPI. We’ve performed plays at North Grenville High School and the Parish Hall at Kemptville College, but most of our productions were presented at Leslie Hall. We now present our plays at the Urbandale Arts Centre at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Come and see this wonderful play and help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. Tickets can be purchased at B&H, Business Strategies and at the door. You can also buy tickets online on Sept. 15 at www.kemptvilleplayers.ca or call Elaine at 613-258-5137. Tickets for the show are $15 and dinner theatre tickets for Saturday, Oct. 28 are $45. We look forward to seeing you in October! Submitted by the Kemptville Players Inc.

Jennifer Noxon opens new exhibit in Almonte Jennifer Noxon is wellknown in the Ottawa/Lanark County area for her many talents as a gifted songwriter, performer and leader of the Rhythm & Song Community Choirs. The Almonte resident is an amateur beekeeper and had a previous career as an adult educator. And, if you didn’t already know, she’s also an experienced visual artist who approaches artmaking with serious intent and a playful, visual intellect. Paint, Paper and Flotsam is an exhibition of three types of new work: small paintings on panel, found plastic constructions and a 3-D digital print array installed across one wall of the gallery. Each series informs the other in surprising and ironic ways. At the core of this new work is the "flotsam" series which she began two years ago. “While walking the beaches of Lake Ontario,” says Jennifer, “I picked up bits of colourful, weathered and water-worn plastic. I didn’t have anything in mind at the time — but there was a certain thrill to the collection process. The bits and bobs went into my

pockets and, eventually, into my studio.” Noxon describes how, after many months of exploration, the plastic pieces evolved into constructions that tell cautionary tales. “As I played with these found pieces, I thought a lot about where they might have come from, the effect discarded plastic is having on our waterways and natural systems, and just how much we depend on plastics in all aspects of our lives.” The constructions serve as metaphors that “suggest darker ideas of what could happen in the future.” Evolving from the plastic constructions, her small paintings on panel depict convoluted geometric shapes with elements of landscape and her signature playful colour palette. The plastic pieces appear again in an amazing, long array of folded paper imprinted with digital photographs. Please join us at General Fine Craft for the opening and meet the artist on Thursday, Sept. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. Visit www.generalfinecraft.com; for more information, call 613-4613463 or email generalfinecraft@gmail.com.

New blues series starts on the Rideau The Blues On The Rideau Dinner & Show Fundraiser Series at the Cove Inn in Westport, Ont., returns this month for its 13th season. Over the years, some of Canada’s best blues artists (Juno and/or Maple Blues Award, Western Canadian Music Award and Quebec Lys Blues Award winners/nominees) have played here, along with some American special guests. This year — Canada’s 150th anniversary — is no exception. We are very pleased and excited about this year’s lineup. There are 10 shows in total in 2017/18 — one a month from September through May (December excluded) including two 2 Night Stands* in January and May. All shows take place from 7-11 pm. The ticket price remains the same (for the fourth year in a row) — $65 (plus HST). It includes a delicious full course buffet dinner, door prizes and dancing. Proceeds go to support different local charities. To date, over $64,000 has been raised for the Westport community with the goal of another $5,000 this season. See the attached poster for a list of all the charities being supported. The 2017/18 season kicks off

Sept. 22 with four-time Maple Blues Award winner for Best Female Vocalist in Canada — the dynamic Angel Forrest and her great band from Quebec’s eastern townships. One of the more powerful singers on the blues/rock scene today, Angel’s voice has been described as a cross between Janis Joplin and Etta James. This is her second visit to the Cove. She tore the house down the first time around and we expect the same for this show. Advance ticket sales have been very brisk — her show is already almost sold out — so move fast if you want to be there! * Oct. 27 — Blackburn (Toronto); * Nov. 24 — Tas Cru w. Wicked Grin (New York state/ Ottawa); * Jan. 19 & 20* — Jack De Keyzer Band (Toronto) * 2 Night Stand; * Feb. 16 — Harpdog Brown & the Travelin’ Blues Show w. Sugar Brown (Vancouver/Toronto) * March 16 — Sean Pinchin Band (Kitchener) * April 20 — Boogie Patrol (Edmonton) May 11/12* — David Rotundo Band (Toronto/Mexico) * 2 Night Stand

Note: Artists may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Check with the Cove as each show approaches. Full details including artists’ bios, links to their websites and YouTube videos can be found at www.BluesOnTheRideau.ca. More info on the Cove can be found at www.coveinn.com. Advance reservations are required for these nights. They can be made in person at the Cove, by phone 1-888-COVEINN or 613-273-3636, or by email info@coveinn.com. Accommodation is available at the Cove and nearby bed and breakfasts, and there’s a motel in town — but book well ahead. All the beds in town usually sell out on BOTR nights. All BOTR shows take place in the friendly, intimate setting of the Cove’s dining room/ bar in the 140-year-old classic country inn in one of the most beautiful villages in eastern Ontario — Westport — located on the shores of Upper Rideau Lake on the world famous Rideau Waterway, only an hour-and-a-half drive from Ottawa, 45 minutes from Kingston, two-and-a-half hours from Syracuse, three hours from Toronto and Montreal.

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, communication is essential in any relationship, including ones of a romantic nature. Learn to get your point across without being too forward.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Intense desires are simmering just beneath the surface, Leo. But you’re not sure how to express your feelings just yet. Usually you are direct, but this may require finesse.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have little desire to go above and beyond what is necessary this week. You may want to spend much of your time sticking to familiar routines.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Hanging out with friends seems like a great idea, especially when all of your tasks at work and at home have been completed, Virgo. Don’t let anything hold you back.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can probably use a good dose of peace and quiet right now, but there are too many things on your calendar for this to be possible anytime soon.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy a boost in ambition, stamina and overall energy in the coming days. This will help you initiate and complete projects with amazing precision.

It is time to push away those feelings once and for all. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, find different ways to express your feelings to your partner.

ON THE BEAT: Commissionaires of Perth, helping to keep the public safe BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

Walking the beat with the Perth Commissionaires on Friday, Aug. 25, one gets a sense of what they do – keep people safe. Remember that if you are caught parking illegally in town and you see a white ticket fluttering under your windshield wiper. An initial reaction may be anger or frustration – or simply, oh yes, I forgot to put a loonie in the meter. That’s all it costs to park in Perth – just a dollar an hour – if you’ve exceeded your two-hour courtesy-parking limit while parked in the downtown core. “We take a photo of each vehicle as we ticket them, so there is no doubt the vehicle is parked illegally,” said Mike Benoit, provincial offences officer/parking authority supervisor. Benoit and Commissionaire John Smith (not his real name) were more than gracious hosts for The Perth Courier reporter’s walkabout on this sunny Friday. Just outside Town Hall, the first ticket issued was to a red pickup truck parked the opposite direction on Market Square. “Our biggest complaint about tickets issued to vehicles parked the wrong way is that they think this is a one-way street,” Benoit said. The first thing the Commissionaires do during their eight-hour shift, walking about 10 kilometres each day, is to e-chalk each vehicle. “We used to chalk tires, but now we

do it electronically,” Benoit said. Marking a tire with a piece of chalk in relation to the curb showed the Commissionaire if the car had moved. “Now, we do it electronically, as it allows us to import each licence plate into our system and the street where they’re parked,” Benoit said. Then if a driver has moved the vehicle to a different spot, Commissionaires know what time they initially parked in the downtown business area and if they have ended their two hours of free parking. “People don’t realize that they can’t move their vehicle to a different spot after two hours are up,” Benoit said. “They will get a ticket.” The Town of Perth offers complimentary parking for two consecutive hours in a five-hour period on downtown streets within the Business Improvement Area (BIA) courtesy of the Downtown Perth Business Improvement Association, Benoit explained. A walk around Market Square and south on Gore Street doesn’t result in any more tickets. “One of the worst spots is in front of Tim Hortons (Gore and Craig streets). It gets pretty congested during school hours,” Benoit said. There are parking areas, but more often than not people will park for “just a few minutes” while they run in for a quick coffee break, he said. Heading back north on Gore Street, the parking infractions are nonexistent. Over in the Crystal Palace municipal parking lot, the Commissionaires are looking for tickets with proper

A Perth commissionaire tickets a vehicle for parking in the opposite direction on Market Street, Aug. 25. dates and times or a monthly parking pass. “I hadn’t been on the job very long and didn’t know all the town staff vehicles,” Smith said. “I ended up giving our clerk a ticket. Her parking pass was in her other vehicle.” Just then we approach a vehicle with a dog inside the car and its owner petting him through the open window on the passenger side. “I’m just leaving,” she told the commissionaire. The little terrier-type dog was barking furiously at the Commissionaire – who pulled out a pet treat from the pocket of his uniform pants. “Maybe you can give this to him,” he said to the woman. The eager pup made friends quickly with the Commissionaire as it lapped up the salmon treat. “Sometimes it’s easier to make friends with dogs,” he said, as we walked from the car. A grin split his weathered face and his blue eyes twinkled. Smith is relatively new at this Commissionaire’s gig, but he’s not new to customer service and working with the public, nor is he new to working outside. “I was 30 years as a land surveyor,” he said. “But I needed a job and this one became available. I did a lot of training.” He was also a bar manager at a resort where he said he met Jane Fonda. “I do this (Commissionaire) because I really enjoy working with the public,” he said. “I don’t enjoy writing tickets … but I have met so many nice people here.” Benoit said he’s been a Commissionaire for eight years now. The Smiths Falls area man said he loves meeting people and keeping the community safe. “Not all of our interactions will be friendly, but there are a lot more positive than negative.” During the Crystal Palace walkabout, a couple of tickets were issued: one for an expired ticket and one for no ticket at all.

Over on Herriott Street in the parking lot, a man who owns a business in town was ticketed for an expired permit. He became agitated and spoke with Benoit about the infraction as Smith went on his way around to Gore Street again. Benoit listened to the man, who decided to fight his ticket at Town Hall as he “had some valid points” about tourists not wanting to come to town if they’re getting hit with parking tickets. “He really did have some good points, and I hope he brings them forward,” Benoit said. While these vehicles were given $15 fines for parking infractions ($10 if paid early) there are other areas in town where the fine is not so low. If you park on the sidewalk or are obstructing traffic, the set fine is $37.50 – or $25 if paid early. “Parking in a fire lane will get you a $75 ticket if paid early,” Benoit said. “Or if not, it’s a $112.50 set fine.” The Town of Perth permits those with a wheelchair access parking pass to park in any legal parking space (designated or not) free of charge, this includes municipal parking lots and at street meters. The 15 minute time limit is reserved for loading zones, meaning if they have a disabled pass they can park for up to 15 minutes in the town's loading zones, Benoit explained. “Not all towns are like this,” Benoit said. But for someone who does not have an accessible parking pass and is parked in an accessible space, the fine is $300. Avoiding tickets is easier now as there is a credit card option at the parking permit machines in most of the municipal lots. The machines in the hospital parking lot and at the museum parking lot will be changed over next spring, Benoit said. “And pretty soon we’ll have a new ticketing system,” he said. Instead of using just one handheld device to import information,

each Commissionaire will have one and they will work together. It will help with violation enforcement and incident reporting by automating parking management and generating more income. The new system provides a full service, cloud-based parking and security application that can scale to the town’s operation, Benoit explained. “And we’ll be able to import date just by taking a photo of a licence plate,” he said. The town just completed a tendering process for the new ticket and permit management system, which is replacing the preceding system that was acquired over 15 years ago,” Eric Cosens, director of development and protective services for the town, said in an email. “It includes a ticket and permit management software, replacement of our current hand-held devices, that are 10 years old and beyond their service life, and associated hand-held ticket printers.” The total price for the new system for the next three years is expected to range between $30,000 and $35,000.” TICKET FEE REVENUE The Town of Perth has a 27-year relationship with the Commissionaires. Cosens said the funds collected through parking tickets are used in many ways. “The funds raised pay for the parking system which includes: enforcement services, line painting, snow clearing of the parking lots, repairs in the parking lots, parking meter equipment acquisition, meter maintenance, operational service charges e.g. fee for credit card processing, and supplies, and parking service management software licensing fees,” Cosens said in an email. Commissionaires do the town’s bylaw enforcement including: merchandise display and signs; property and yard maintenance; the busking See COMMISSIONAIRES page 29

He served 21 years and thereafter continued to serve Canada within the Communications Security Establishment until his retirement at age 55.

He will be sorely missed. A memorial will be held in the coming weeks at the Perth Legion.

Brooks J. D’Arcy BA, LLB, QC

October 6th, 1935 September 3rd, 2017 Our prince of a man, took his leave from us, after a brief illness, in the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth, Ontario on Sunday, September 3rd, 2017. Loving husband of Linda (Doyle), devoted father of Brenda (Mark Lewis), Jennifer (Craig Hill), Allison and David. Proud grandfather of Kaitlyn, Connor, Emma and Alexandra. He also leaves his brothers Terry, Bill and Michael. D’Arcy was predeceased by his parents Dr. Edward F. and Isobel (Noonan) Brooks, his four sisters Mary, Patricia, Elizabeth and Susan. After graduating from Queen’s Law School and being called to the bar, he joined the firm Borden Elliot Kelly and Palmer which later became Borden Elliot. He developed an extensive practice in corporate law before becoming managing partner and CEO of the firm. He took a leading role in the formation of a national firm which was to become Borden Ladner Gervais, one of the nation’s largest firms. He was admired by his partners and associates for his vision in this endeavor. D’Arcy was a gentleman, a leader and the most generous of men who took pride in the time he spent on the boards on which he served, particularly St. Josephs Health Centre in Toronto. In spite of his achievements, his most precious time was spent with family and friends, especially when at Christie Lake. The family would like to thank Dr. Stephanie Popiel and the amazing staff and nurses who cared so lovingly for D’Arcy as well as our nieces and nephews who stood by his side during his final days. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth on Sunday, September 10th, 2017 from 12:00 Noon until 4:00 P.M. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John’s Church, 38 Wilson St., East, Perth on Monday at 1:00 P.M. A reception for family and friends will follow at Code’s Mill On The Park, 53 Herriott St., Perth. Donations in D’Arcy’s memory could be made to the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, 33 Drummond St., West, Perth or St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto in lieu of flowers. I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing that I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again…William Penn Blair & Son Funeral Home, Perth (613) 267-3765 to send your condolences or for further information visit www.blairandson.com

GUNN, Robert – September 7, 2015 If we could visit Heaven even for a day, Maybe for a moment the pain would go away. We would put our arms around you, And whisper words so true. That living life without you, Is the hardest thing to do. No matter how we spend our days, No matter what we do. No morning dawns or evening falls, When we don’t think of you. Forever and always, Marilyn and Family

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006. Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow. Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too. The love we share together keeps us close to you. Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part. “Those we love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as our life remains.” Love, Mom and Dad

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug. Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say… Keep my memory with you, For memories never die. I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky. When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home. I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day. “In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…” Love, Erin

permit; the pedlars permit, and some inspection assistance with animal control, particularly within public parks, and general bylaw enforcement patrolling. They also undertake routine maintenance on all parking meters,” Cosens noted. Perth averaged just over 5,900 tickets issued in 2015 and 2016, he said. There were between 25 and 30 tickets that proceeded to court and just two of them had successful appeals – one due to a missing signage and another due to construction-related conditions. Cosens said during the 2015-16 reporting periods there were average fine revenues (all parking violations – i.e. not just unpaid meters or parking beyond a time limit) of roughly $78,000 annually out of total averaged yearly revenues of approximately $254,000. For 2016, after operating expenses, the town had anticipated a net income of just over $14,000 from the parking system. “Revenues were a bit shy of (what was) anticipated and we had capital expenses for the new parking machines and associated software in the parking lots; such that the system ended the year in slight deficit that, I believe, had to be covered by tax revenue.”

employees from coast to coast – Halifax to Victoria up to the Yukon and North-West Territories. We are a notfor-profit company, which means that 90 per cent of our bill rate goes back to our employees in direct and indirect benefits. There is a Newfoundland and Labrador Division as well. They have operations in St. John's and recently won a contract with the Town of Torbay, doing similar services as Kingston and Region does with Perth. "When we bill a client, we give back 90 per cent to our employees. We are about trying to give them a living wage. We have benefits: health, paid training, safety boots, and an EAP program, and life insurance. So we try and look after our employees as best as we can with the bill rate we receive.” As a contracted security guard company, a client will hire Commissionaires and pay them an hourly wage, “and we take that wage and give 90 per cent back to employees and keep 10 per cent for administration.” They have been working with Perth since 1990, “doing bylaw for the Town of Perth.” There are many contracts across Canada. The national annual gross revenue of Commissionaires is over $500 million. “The Perth bylaw is one of the many contracts we have across Canada, and we have many, many contracts.” Voith is the CEO for the Kingston Region – from Cornwall to Bowmanville, including Smiths Falls and Perth. The region is divided into five districts: Cornwall, Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, and Coburg. Perth falls under the district of Brockville.

Learning takes back seat 1-888-657-6193 during statue debate classifiedseast@metroland.com In downtown Franklin, Tennessee the public square sits at the heart of the rapidly growing city of 70,000. It’s a community focal point with public buildings, including city hall, facing the square. Look to the west along Main Street and the historic, picturesque downtown unfolds in front of you. At the centre of the two-acre square stands the city’s Confederate monument. In the years following the American Civil War, communities across the nation erected memorials to honour their war dead. Some Franklin women founded a local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. They held bake sales and quilting bees for 17 years, until they had raised the $2,700 needed to erect the monument. They chose Nov. 30, 1899, the 35th anniversary of the Battle of Franklin, as the day for the dedication ceremony. There is an interesting side story about the statue. It arrived by train several days before the dedication and was taken to the square by wagon. Workers began hoisting the statue of a Confederate soldier to the top of the column. During the process it slipped from its moorings and fell, crashing against the base of the monument. In the process, a piece of the soldier’s hat was chipped off. No attempt was made to repair the small break and the statue was successfully raised into place. Five days later 10,000 people were on hand to witness the dedication. The Franklin statue depicts an anonymous Confederate infantryman at rest. Locals have nicknamed him “Chip” in recognition of his damaged headgear. I have viewed Chip and photographed him several times over the years. Franklin is a Sister City of Carleton Place where we live and I currently chair the local Sister City Committee. My wife Kathleen is also a member. During a private visit to Nashville in February Kathy and I went to nearby Franklin to have dinner with friends. As I write this article I am looking at the photos I took of the Confederate monument that night. After dark it’s illuminated by floodlights and is an impressive sight. Today, however, in communities across the United States efforts to remove Confederate monuments are ongoing. Activity ramped up considerably in the wake of the violence that erupted during a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. A 32-year-old female counter protester was killed and several others injured when a speeding car deliberately ran them down. That shocking incident has fuelled debates across the U.S. about race and free speech which are ongoing and could continue for months or years. The white supremacists and neo-

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Nazis who invaded Charlottesville did so partly to protest that city’s plan to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He led Southern forces during the Civil War. Remove statues What they actually accomplished was to turn the statue removal issue into a national cause. Cities such as Baltimore, New Orleans, Gainesville and Lexington have either removed Civil War statues or are in the process of doing so. Now centres across the country are caught up in the debate. Franklin, Tennessee is no exception. Two petitions are currently circulating in the city. One calls for the removal of the war monument. The other is called simply “Save Chip!” I’m not American so I can’t participate directly in this debate. But due to my strong interest in history I am moved to offer some thoughts. This issue also has a cross-border connection, something I wrote about last week. In the aftermath of Charlottesville there are calls to remove certain statues and plaques in Canada as well. A few weeks ago an Ontario teachers’ federation proposed that the name of our first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, should be removed from nine elementary schools which currently bear his name. The teachers feel Macdonald’s terrible treatment of Indigenous people means naming schools after him is wrong. So far that idea has failed to gain much traction with politicians or the public either according to the polls. My contention last week was that despite Macdonald’s misdeeds, teaching our history is far more important than hiding it. In general, I feel the same way about the situation in the U.S. although the circumstances surrounding the removal of Civil War statues has two sides in my opinion. Memorials to Lee and others are being cited as ongoing symbols of white supremacy. It’s a valid point when you consider the Confederate states seceded and fought the Civil War mainly in an effort to maintain slavery. In addition, many of the now contentious Confederate statues, which are named for Rebel leaders, were erected long after the Civil War. Many appeared early in the 20th Century to help support segregationist laws. Others were added, in cookie-cutter fashion, in the 1960s in an effort to See MAGUIRE page 38

This Week’s Pets

Chevy

Henderson

Henderson is eight years old, a recent arrival at LAWS who has settled in very well. He is mostly white with interesting grey accents, silky-soft, laid-back, friendly and sociable, loves

Chevy is four years old, a gorgeous medium long hair brown tabby with the biggest purr and the tiniest meow! He shares a run with other cats but prefers to keep to himself. He loves people and can't get enough petting and attention but does not like when

another cat butts in on his cuddlesession. He hasn't been at LAWS long so he may just be settling in to the new environment or maybe he just needs to be the only cat in your life.

Mr. Ed

Mr Ed is a three-year-old tuxedo, outgoing and friendly, eager for attention from visitors to the run he happily shares with other cats. He is a recent arrival at LAWS and has adjusted very well to shelter life. He will be delighted to adjust well to life in a home of his own!

Robin

Robin is the youngest of this week's selection but he has been at the shelter the longest - nearly five months. He

was initially scared of us and refused to be touched, but after months of TLC he has opened his heart to the staff and volunteers. He is calm and undemanding and now comes to greet visitors to his run, rubs around their legs, enjoys being petted and even being held for a bit of a cuddle.

counter the civil rights movement. I understand why people want those particular statues removed. However, many others across the south, including the Franklin statue, are memorials to the Confederate dead in the Civil War. To me those monuments should be left alone as their stated purpose is to pay tribute to those who died. The cause southerners defended during the war is arguably one of the worst anyone ever fought and died for. But consideration should be given to the fact that many Confederate war victims did not volunteer to fight. They were drafted under a compulsory service law instituted in 1862. The Battle of Franklin, on Nov. 30, 1864, was a Union victory. There were nearly 10,000 casualties on

both sides. Nearly 1,500 Confederate dead are interred in the privately funded McGavock Confederate Cemetery in Franklin. If Franklin residents and people in other American centres vote in favour of removing local Civil War memorials as part of a democratic process then so be it! However, a senator from Tennessee who was asked about the current statue debate said, “I feel we should spend less time erasing history and more time learning about it.” To me his sentiment remains an important part of this debate. Hiding history is not the answer. Learning from it should be the primary objective, not only in the U.S. and Canada but around the world!

Laura Smith invades Perth's Listening Room Series Here's hoping you had a magical summer, attended lots of music festivals, got turned on by new-to-you musicians and found enough sunshine to keep you smilin' inside and out. As we head into fall, it's good to start planning ahead. This article will hopefully assist in doing so as the Listening Room Series in Perth kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. with an award-winning Canadian legend from the East Coast ... singer / songwriter Laura Smith at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Championed by the late Peter Gzowski of CBC Radio's Morningside, he too had been smitten by her haunting voice heralding our past when her song, My Bonny, her adaptation of the original My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, from her second album hit the airways. From then on, he included her tunes in many of his shows. I remember hearing her live for the first time at the Tulip

Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT

Festival in Ottawa and being mesmerized by the beautifully wholesome sound of her truly unique voice and the insightful, creative storytelling she offered through most songs by her own hand. Many a time I've seen her bring tears to the eyes of a whole audience, just singing a cappella. She brought the Stewart Park Festival audience to a rousing standing ovation last time she played. Though born and raised in London, Ont., she has called Canada's East Coast home since 1984, which has affected her writing — boats, water, historical yarns, community and the charm of the people inhabiting. If Laura Smith weren't enough to make you rush to get tickets as she's sold out every time she

plays here, she's being accompanied by the widely recognized guitar virtuoso, multiple award winning Tony Quarrington. Tickets are $20 and available by calling 613-267-7902 to arrange necessary payment in advance to reserve. Dinner reservations at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) can be made by calling 613-267-3170 which includes your ticket. Part of the proceeds will be going to the Lanark County Community Justice Program — a worthy program facilitating restorative justice in our area. Other upcoming dates to put on your calendar for the Listening Room Series are: Sunday, Oct. 22 — Arlene Quinn (solo — performing her own music), Sunday, Nov. 12 — returning, from out West — John Wort Hannam and Sunday, Dec. 3 is Irish Mythen. For those new to the area or looking for a different entertainment experience, the Lis-

tening Room Series features quality singer/songwriter musicians from all around the world who perform original material in a quiet, concert-like atmosphere, usually two sets an evening. These are nonprofit and run as fundraisers for different charities each month. Everyone speaks of the intimacy of the experience, being able to meet the artists at breaks and enjoy the stories between songs. Email me to get on list for notifications. My email is ferdburphyll@ gmail.com. UPCOMING EVENT Saturday, Sept. 23: 7 p.m. “Between the Lines” at The Cove, Westport, An Intimate Night of Great Canadian Singer/Songwriters; Jenny Whiteley, Suzie Vinnick, Rick Fines, Wendell Ferguson will perform, sharing their musical gifts. $55 for dinner and show. Reservations suggested. Call 613-2733636.

Local entrepreneur rises to the challenge with gluten-free baking business BY PAULINA HREBACKA

phrebacka@metroland.com

Nov. 1 marks the one-year anniversary of Kemptville resident Nicole LeBlanc’s gluten-free and paleofriendly baking business, Love My Buns. You may have enjoyed some of LeBlanc’s signature creations at the former Branch Restaurant, which she owned alongside her husband, Bruce Enloe, from 2006 to 2016. At the Branch, you could find LeBlanc’s Magic Mousse on the dessert menu, a gluten and dairy-free dark chocolate mousse cake, topped with fresh compote made from local fruits. I won’t disclose the secret ingredients, but it was just as delicious as it was good for you. Another staple of hers at the restaurant was the cornbread muffins — fresh, gluten-free and a perfect complement to the house-made soups. Customers with and without dietary restrictions raved about LeBlanc’s recipes. Although LeBlanc and Enloe have moved on from their Branch days, their love of food still plays a major role in their professional lives. Enloe is the general manager at the Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls, providing storage and industrial kitchen space to farmers and producers, delivering fresh produce to local customers yearround, and building the connections between producers and local businesses and restaurants. Before the Branch, LeBlanc and Enloe worked at a vegan restaurant together for years.

rant, that are acceptable even to those who aren’t remotely gluten-free?’ So that took a long time to experiment with, but that’s just our natures — we like to push the boundaries, and experiment, and see what we can do for people.” LeBlanc’s entrepreneurial spirit can be said to have sparked while working in the kitchen at the Branch, where gluten-free options were a popular request, and she took up hours of experimentation creating recipes from scratch. “With gluten-free products these days, you really have to shop around to find something that you like,” said LeBlanc. “I spent years looking for something that would stay moist, because that, to me, is the biggest issue.” The Love My Buns multi-purpose baking mix follows the paleo diet, which focuses on eating low-carb, protein-rich foods, and a minimal sugar intake. The paleo diet is naturally gluten-free and is known to balance energy levels, improve sleep patterns, and provide relief to those suffering with digestive issues. The multi-purpose baking mix is LeBlanc’s bestselling product as of yet, and she also offers paleo sandwich buns.

Local entrepreneur, Nicole LeBlanc, bakes gluten-free and paleo dietfriendly products, with her Love My Buns business, which are made with simple ingredients to cater to a low-carb, moderate-protein diet. She also offers a multi-purpose baking mix which can be used to make pizza crust, pancakes, bread, and desserts. Her recipes are carefully crafted from a lifetime of experience serving in restaurants, working in The inspiration: Abigail kitchens, and owning the Branch Restaurant & Texas Grill, formerly on The requests for gluten-free options Clothier Street East. at the restaurant weren’t the only rea“We were used to trying to mimic the foods that everybody finds acceptable, with a limited amount of ingredients,” said LeBlanc. “So with vegan food, the concern was, ‘How do I make a big, beautiful plate of

How we use the internet is evolving, but can your internet provider keep up? We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps (as of March 2017, Apple’s App Store alone offered 2.2 million apps1), the Internet is making it easier than ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets and phones. Our nation spends more time online than any other (36.7 hours/month2) as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet.2 In fact, high-speed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.2

anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen? Often, it is because of something called “peak hours.” Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable. Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless.

Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for?

We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time.

Whether kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school projector putting in some overtime from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can connect, and where we can work. We should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we?

If you’re spending time online (and who isn’t these days?), you’re likely familiar with the frustration of slow connection speeds, or an Internet connection that simply doesn’t work. We’ve all experienced these problems: Netflix slows to a standstill, emails sit in your outbox, or that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. You feel helpless to do

The Ontario Parenting Connection strives to address community needs BY PAULINA HREBACKA

phrebacka@metroland.com

North Grenville is a vibrant and growing community with a rich family-oriented culture. As such, local parents and caregivers need a place to voice their concerns and share their ideas relating to public safety, recreation, education and more. The Ontario Parenting Connection (OPC) is a nonprofit organization run by parents who want to talk about such concerns and advocate for happier and healthier families in North Grenville. The OPC was initiated in June 2016 by two local mothers, including president Samantha Kutowy. “We’d noticed some common issues in Kemptville and many parents shared these concerns with us,” said Kutowy. “It all started by us getting together, talking and sharing our ideas. Since there were so many great ideas being brought forward, we decided to start a nonprofit to address some of the issues in the community in a proactive manner.” North Grenville is the first community for the OPC to focus its efforts. “North Grenville is a great community, and a great place to raise a family, but it’s also growing, so we

Riverside Park is one of the main facilities in Kemptville which the Ontario Parenting Connection believes could use more attention. need to advocate for the appropriate changes and improve the community even more so,” said Kutowy. “That’s our plan. We want to start where we live, and if things go well, we may branch out and have different chapters of the network in different communities in Ontario.” The five topics that are most commonly addressed by local parents are health and wellness, education, recreation, support and social safety. “A few things that really stand out are the conditions of our parks

and recreation facilities in North Grenville,” said Kutowy. “Sixty per cent of the parents are driving out of town to work and returning afterwards, then picking up their kids and driving again to Smiths Falls or Brockville or wherever they need to go to for their children’s sports and recreational activities. One thing we would love to see, as the community grows, is more services here so we don’t have to spend so many hours in the car.” Riverside Park is another popular

topic of discussion for members of the OPC. “Riverside Park is brought up repeatedly by parents, because they feel that things keep getting taken away from the park, but not replaced. Many aspects of the municipality’s five-year plan, including their continuation with the Riverside Park planning exercise, haven’t been fulfilled, and those five years are almost up," she said. "The community still wants those things to happen, and we want Kemptville’s downtown core to be more familyfriendly. We want to be able to walk to it and bike to it safely and enjoy it, because it has a lot of potential.” The OPC is hosting a focus group for parents, caregivers and family members in North Grenville to attend on Sunday, Oct. 1. The objective of the event is to address the concerns of local parents and recognize what they’d like to see happen in the community. “We want to identify what people love about Kemptville, what needs improvement and what we are missing,” said Kutowy. Following the focus group, the OPC will put a report together based on the information collected from the meeting and advocate the identified needs. They will also take the information collected through their online needs assessment survey

into consideration to form a strategic plan. “So far, we are a tiny group, but we have opinions, we have ideas and we want to make sure the group represents what the community actually wants. There’s strength in numbers, so we would absolutely love more people to get involved,” said Kutowy. “We want input from all of the parents, grandparents, family members and care providers in our community.” Currently, the OPC has a board of directors with five members. Their next annual general meeting is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 22. “We’ll be looking to bring in some new board members, so if anyone in the community is interested, we’d love for them to apply,” said Kutowy. “The annual general meeting is public, so anyone is welcome to attend.” For more information or to fill out the community needs assessment survey, please visit www.OntarioParenting.org or the OPC’s Facebook page at www.Facebook. com/ONTparenting. If you have any family-oriented concerns regarding the North Grenville community, the Ontario Parenting Connection would like to hear from you.

and your intestines can heal. “Among the non-accepted foods were not just sugar, but no grains, no potatoes, nothing starchy — even bananas. It’s pretty restrictive,” LeBlanc said. She and Enloe were desperate to help Abigail, so they went fullin with the specific carbohydrate diet. Abigail is nine now, and has been on the same diet for seven years. “We fully committed to it and haven’t looked back,” said LeBlanc. Continuing with her research, LeBlanc learned that the specific carbohydrate diet is essentially the same as the paleo diet, which is essentially the same as the ketogenic diet, except the ketogenic variation is a little stricter on having sugar of any kind, including fruits. “It was invented by a doctor to help patients with epilepsy,” said LeBlanc. “It was devised as a way to treat epilepsy that wasn’t being improved with medication. This diet was an alternative that actually works, and they especially use it with children, because medications can be really harsh.” Many people also use the ketogenic diet to treat cancer. “Sugar feeds cancer, so people are going on no-sugar, super low-carb, high-fat diets, and their tumours are shrinking. They’re reacting a lot better to chemotherapy, and so on.” At the end of the day, the paleo, specific carbohydrate and the ketogenic plans are all low-sugar, grain-free diets. “There’s got to be something about that common denominator that’s addressing so many of the health issues we have these days,” said LeBlanc. “For so long, we’ve been told that fats are bad and carbohydrates are good, and not to eat fats. We’ve sort of been living this human experiment, and 50 years later, we’re still all obese. We all have heart problems, high blood pressure, and all the rest of it. So now, people are starting to say that maybe sugar is bad, and you need fats to be able to function mentally.” As we continue to experiment with low-sugar, high-fat diets and see success in the results, the demand for products like Love My Buns increases exponentially.

nut flour, and business has been going steadily since then. “I thought, ‘OK — I have $2,000-worth of coconut flour just sitting there, so I have to sell the heck out of this stuff,’ so there was definitely that motivation to hustle. I hustled for a bit, and got the mix into some health food stores in the area, and in Ottawa. I always kind of expected that I just wouldn’t get reorders from some stores.” However, orders have been either consistent, or on the growing trend for LeBlanc. Another concern is what’s been described by other entrepreneurs as the Impostor Syndrome. “I’ve read this about entrepreneurs before — sometimes, we feel like impostors. Sometimes I feel like someone is going to try my product, and they’re going to know that I’m an impostor and that I really don’t know what the hell I’m doing,” she laughed. “But that’s what it’s like to introduce your own product to the world — it’s scary, because it’s your baby. Luckily, Bruce and I had the restaurant for 10 years, and it’s not the same kind of business at all, but it’s still a business, so I know I’ll learn my way around some things.” As the demand for Love My Buns began to increase, LeBlanc found herself debating what the next step should be. “The first option was to go full-on into developing a glutenfree bakery, which would require a huge investment because I’d have to find a space and buy a commercial oven. I was asking myself, ‘Do I want to get into that kind of debt right now, and where would I even find the money in the first place?’” Originally, LeBlanc had hoped that she could work out of the Two Rivers Food Hub, because the commercial kitchens there are completely set up for mass-production of her baking mix and baked products. “Their mandate is perfect for someone trying to do what I’m trying to do,” she said. “The only issue is that I have a gluten-free product, which cannot be certified gluten-free if I were to process it there. There’s too much shared ventilation and equipment, and there isn’t a completely separate space that is designated gluten-free. So, that was part of my issue, sadly. It definitely would have been affordable. There’s no investment upfront, they have all of the equipment — everything I would need. My investment would have only been in packaging and marketing.”

was a baby. “Abigail’s dietary restrictions is really what motivated the business since the beginning,” said LeBlanc. “From the get go, she had digestive issues. We could tell that they were triggered by certain foods, but had no idea what. She was only six months to a year old, and we were dealing with it all the time.” Abigail also struggled to communicate and express her feelings. “Everything just came out as a cry, because there was no way for her to express the frustration,” said LeBlanc. “From very early on, we suspected that she had autism, which she was diagnosed with later, at the age of two.” The first thing LeBlanc did was go online and research what people in the same situation were doing to help their children. “Most sources encouraged us to get her into therapy as soon as possible, and that the earlier the intervention, the better.” LeBlanc and her family began working with therapists to improve Abigail’s communication and basic learning. “When someone is on the autism spectrum, every little thing has to be taught, because it just doesn’t come naturally to them.” In terms of Abigail’s diet, the advice to switch to glutenfree didn’t come from a doctor. LeBlanc had done substantive research into what other people in similar situations were feeding their children, and many of the sources suggested to go glutenfree. “We tried gluten-free/dairyfree, and that made a huge difference,” said LeBlanc. “Before that, she wasn’t meeting any of her developmental milestones and she wasn’t moving. At the age of two, she still wasn’t even trying to pull up the way that one-year-olds are supposed to be pulling up on furniture so that they can practice standing on their own.” In addition to these delays, Abigail was demonstrating selfinjurious behaviours, which is common among children with autism. In Abigail’s case, she would chew her hands and wrists.

an Ottawa-based chain of health food stores which has its own commercial gluten-free bakery and co-packing facility. “They produce their own line of gluten-free baked goods that they sell in their health food stores. They also do contract work, so there’s other major Canadian brands that are based in the Ottawa area and are made at this facility,” she noted. LeBlanc met the owner of the Natural Food Pantry, Rick Payant, at a trade show in Ottawa called the Healthy Brain & Body Show. It was the first trade show she’d been to with Love My Buns. “I had samples out for people and received such an astounding amount of interest, I was amazed.” According to LeBlanc, getting people to sample a product is what immediately sells them on it. “Being able to talk to people about it is really effective because I know the product inside and out, and I know what the benefits are — l live them and experience them every single day, so I can tell people why it’s a better choice,” she said. In the health food market, dietary restrictions, allergies, and intolerances are abundant. But when a company tries to make an

alternative product, such as gluten-free bread, they often end up replacing the gluten with other unfamiliar ingredients to achieve the same texture. “A lot of gluten-free products are made from really refined starchy ingredients like potato, tapioca, or corn, and all of those turn into sugar once they hit your system, which was one of the main issues for me,” said LeBlanc. “I would eat breakfast and then just want to crawl back into bed — I had no energy. The Love My Buns baking mix is very low sugar, has lots of protein, and doesn’t have any starch. It won’t make you crash, and it really sustains your energy to get you through the day.” LeBlanc is proud to offer a product that has only five simple ingredients: organic coconut flour, organic golden flax seeds, organic psyllium seeds, baking soda, and sea salt. “The nicest thing about this business is that all the responsibility lies on my shoulders, but I’m the only person for whom I’m responsible,” LeBlanc said. “Whereas, at the restaurant, I was responsible for a staff of 15 people, and I was working in the kitchen and doing the payroll and everything else.” For a long time, LeBlanc thought she’d need to hire some-

one to be her marketing director so that she could focus on making the products, while someone else sold them for her. “I thought I’d much rather be the person working in the bakery, doing my nine-to-five job, producing as much as I can all day long, because doing that’s easy,” she said. “When you put yourself out there with a product that you created, there’s always a chance that people aren’t going to like it. That’s always the fear when you create something.” People as far as British Columbia and Halifax have contacted LeBlanc to tell her that they’ve heard of Love My Buns products and want to try them.

Paramedics gearing up for annual ride with stop in Merrickville Sept. 18 BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The provincial Paramedic Ride will make a stop in Merrickville on Sept. 18 and the public is invited to come welcome the riders to the area as they make their way to Parliament Hill. This event is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the paramedic community. “We are raising funds in support of the Canadian Paramedic Memorial Foundation,” Dale McCabe, local paramedic and secretary/treasurer for CUPE 4480, said. “The foundation is constructing a monument in the Nation’s Capital to commemorate those paramedics who have lost their lives in the line-of-duty.” The Ontario ride in its five years has inspired other provinces to have their own ride. In addition to Quebec having their ride on the same days as Ontario, Alberta also has a ride in September. British Columbia has its ride in June, and Nova Scotia rides in May. The Ontario Ride starts at City Hall in Toronto Sept. 15 with overnight stops in Port Hope, Kingston and Brockville, ending in Ottawa Sept 18. During its morning ride from Brockville to Ottawa, participants will make a stop at Merrickville they will

BR+E project final report comes to council Sept. 18 The final report, survey findings, and action plan from the Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) project, which began in 2016, will be presented to council, community stakeholders, and the public at the Sept. 18 committee of the whole meeting. The report is the result of work done over the past 10 months with more than 80 community businesses participating. Teams of trained volunteers met with local businesses to gather key information to complete a comprehensive survey. The visits also provided an opportunity to identify the specific needs and concerns of each business and respond to those concerns on an individual basis.

The information collected was then reviewed and analyzed by local businesses and community leaders and municipal staff to identify key issues and priorities and to brainstorm and develop action plans to address those issues and priorities. The resulting document is the report, survey findings, and action plan that will be presented on Sept. 18. BR+E is a communitybased economic development program with a focus on supporting existing businesses. It provides a systematic approach to assist communities in developing strategies to support businesses, and retain and create new jobs and opportunities. BR+E uses an in-depth, four-stage process to assist

communities in developing and implementing concrete action plans. Undertaking a BR+E program helps communities understand local business needs and respond so that businesses stay, grow, and become more competitive in the community. The BR+E action plan

will be incorporated into the economic development division’s current program review, annual work plan, and budget. A full copy of the report is available now on the municipal website — www.northgrenville.ca. Submitted by the Municipality of North Grenville

almost doubled. “There are 140 riders with about 50 support staff in ambulances and SUV's that escort the riders the entire way,” McCabe said. Lanark County Paramedics have seven riders taking part this year. “Two of our riders will be doing the entire ride from Toronto to Ottawa,” he said. “That’s over 300 km. The last day from Brockville to Ottawa will have five more riders join in for the final 130 km trek to Parliament Hill.” Lanark County Paramedics' Union CUPE 4480 in addition to being a bronze level sponsor for the RIDE, will host the rest stop in Merrickville. At the rest stop drinks and snacks are provided for the riders as well as washroom facilities. As in previous years CUPE 4480 will have a cheque presentation

to the ride officials. “Lanark County Paramedic Service also graciously provides an ambulance that will take part in the escort of the riders into Ottawa.” On the final day the Ontario and Quebec rides will rendezvous at Jacque Cartier Park and ride together to Parliament Hill for the closing ceremonies. “It is an impressive sight to see close to 300 riders on bicycles escorted by ambulances and Ornge helicopters making their way through Ottawa to the Hill for the closing ceremonies.” If you would like to make a donation, please visit www. paramedicride.ca In Merrickville, you can make a donation in general or you can even select the rider you want to sponsor.

Blanket exercise Sept. 17 Using the Blanket Exercise, which has been used in a massive event on Parliament Hill as well as in schools and churches across the country, participants take on the roles of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Standing on blankets that represent the land, they walk through pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. They are directed by facilitators representing a narrator and the European colonizers. Participants are drawn into the experience by reading scrolls and carrying cards which ultimately determine their outcomes.

With the options of the three distances (2K, 5K, 10K) this event makes for a nice family affair, as the majority of the routes are on paved sidewalk, making it accessible for young children and strollers. This years’ Terry Fox Run T-shirts will be for sale on site as well.

OPINION A

Back to crazy

ll three of my kids are now in school, which is insane. Watching the twins’ line up for kindergarten was a tough one for me. The older they get, the older I get. I’ll always be 21, but walking around with three school age kids makes that fib slightly less believable. Back-to-school this year was nuts: three kids = three pairs of shoes and three backpacks. I am putting a request in to the government on behalf of all parents: school necessities should be mailed out to every household in Canada at the end of August each year, including spa certificates for all parents. I realize this initiative will cost lots of money, but I am sure we can all agree the government blows tons of money on way less useful things. While I await this exciting initiative to take flight – hopefully in 2018 – I will comment that backto-school is an outrageous concept. Why do kids need new shoes for their first day of school? Why do they need new backpacks (unless their previous year’s backpack has fallen apart)? I don’t really understand the pressure we all feel to make our kids look extra good on the first day of school, year after

s we launched another school year last week I was thinking, my Dad (a former high school science teacher) wouldn’t have fared too well in today’s era of cellphones, iPods and fidget spinners. How, among all of these accepted distractions, does a teacher catch and keep the attention of his students? My husband, a retired professor, once said he thought he was going to have to start giving out prizes like on the Ellen show. College and postsecondary is a whole different scenario, I’m sure, with adult students assuming the right to bear phones and watch full-length movies on laptops during class. Surely in high school there is still a chance to gain control of the classroom? I know the challenge to make lessons interesting has always been there. It seems teachers need more than just a passion for their subject in order to keep the interest of their students. In the 80s, when I was attending high school, my favourite teachers were those who made lessons come alive. My English Lit teacher had us act out the Shakespeare instead of just trying to understand how the quality of mercy is not strained. My geography teacher supplemented the lesson

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION year. Most of my kids’ clothes are stained because kids love mud and I am not great at doing laundry. So I felt compelled to buy all three of my kids’ new shirts so they could be stain-free for their first day of school. It’s crazy. I also felt the need to buy them new shoes, so they wouldn’t feel ostracized wearing their old, crappy shoes when everyone else was rocking new, shiny ones. Also crazy. We should all boycott back-toschool next year, unless the government pulls through. If we all send our kids to school wearing clothes they actually owned prior to Aug. 15, none of us would feel like our kids will be judged for not looking perfect on the first day. It’s all one big marketing conspiracy. It’s time to let go of back-toschool. Isn’t making lunches every day enough pressure? We shouldn’t have to plan and prepare prior to school even starting. Who’s with me?

I’m not sure who decided it was necessary to allow students the use of cellphones in the classroom. I don’t think they were doing anyone a favour by making this concession. I hear there are some brave, trailblazing teachers out there insisting the phones stay in the lockers during class. But for the most part it’s a valuable item that the student has the right to carry at all times. Parents say they need to be able to reach their kids at all times. We did just fine without an immediate connection to our parents during school. If they needed us they sent a message through the main office. Can you imagine? Even some employers are realiz-

ing how distracting cellphones can be during meetings. Many insist that employees check their phones at the door before they enter the conference room. It’s like gangsters at a mafia meeting: check your gun at the door. And I hear some adults are even bringing fidget spinners to work. They say it helps them focus. I can’t imagine how it would feel to be giving a presentation as the audience plays with little spinning toys on the conference table. The other thing that has changed about school — and this breaks my heart a bit — is that there is no more traditional library. There’s a resource room, or a learning commons, with a dozen computers and one single wall of books. It makes sense, I guess, to encourage students to research online where they will find the most up-todate information. The learning commons also takes up considerably less room than a traditional library. But I miss the books. When I was a little girl, I used to walk over from Kemptville Public School to North Grenville District High School to wait until my father finished work. I did that waiting in the library. One day I discovered the Nancy Drew detective novels and

from then on, there was no turning back. I started at number one and read my way through all one hundred tomes. The librarian reported this accomplishment to my father and suggested I be tested to see if I qualified for enriched learning programs due to my obviously high IQ. I remember my Dad laughed and said, “She doesn’t have a high IQ! She just loves to read!” Well those afternoons in the library fostered a lifetime love of reading and learning. I suppose you could argue that a kid waiting in today’s high school library could do the same sort of learning by sitting at a computer — but it just isn’t the same as with books. There’s nothing like a library full

of actual books — row upon row of stories and characters to choose from. I feel sorry for kids who grow up without a real library in their schools — and I hope they get a library card so they can borrow from the public library. I know today’s schools are designed to adapt to the changing needs of our youth and their myriad learning styles. Progress is a good thing — particularly when it recognizes that not every person learns or works the same way. But I honestly think the cellphones have got to go. At least until break time. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

and some friends from Star Wars.” Registration and T-shirt pick-up will begin at 5:30 p.m., along with all the pre-run fun. There will also be a barbecue, a DJ and glow face painting. “While progress has been made, we know that there is more work to be done, because childhood cancer is still a number one cause of disease-related deaths in Canadian children,” Burich said. “We need your help. By participating, donating, or volunteering at Neon Night, you will help the Canadian Cancer Society fund more childhood cancer research. You can help make the night bright ensuring children can live longer, happier lives.” Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin and councillors Frank Onasanya and Jim Bertram are looking forward to attending the event and participating in the fun run again this year. “I just want to congratulate you ladies for all the effort you put out there – countless hours, to get this event running,” said Onasanya. “You are giving us the opportunity to come out and help raise some funds and have some fun as well. Thank you for what you are doing. I’ll be out there running.” Currently, there are 39 North Grenville teams and 100 participants registered for the event, who have collectively raised a total of $11,567. “We’re up around 17 per cent in terms of registration over last year, so we all need to say our prayers to Mother Nature so we can have a nice day,” Burich said. Participants are encouraged to wear their brightest running gear to help illuminate the night. The opening ceremonies, following the pre-party at 5:30 p.m., will begin at 7 p.m., followed by the 5K run/walk at 7:30 p.m., the 2K run/walk at 7:45 p.m., and the after-party will go on until 9 p.m. For more information or to register, pledge a participant or make a donation, please visit www.cancer. ca/NeonNightKemptville.

Registration is up 20 per cent for this year’s fourth annual Neon Night for Childhood Cancer, which goes Saturday, Sept. 23 in Kemptville’s Riverside Park. Left, ready, set, glow! The start of last year’s 5K run/walk. File photo

New BIA program aims at helping businesses start up or expand One of the goals of any Business Improvement Area (BIA) is to fill available commercial space with vibrant, sustainable businesses. The Old Town Kemptville BIA has launched a program this September with the aid of the municipality and Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) to do just that. Pop-up shops are temporary stores that “pop into” empty storefronts and have been proven to increase foot traffic in commercial areas and launch successful businesses that become long term tenants. Through the Kemptville Pop-Up Shop Program, businesses are offered a low-cost opportunity to test-market their product or service in one of eastern Ontario's fastest growing communities. Commercial building owners get to fill their available spaces with viable businesses while covering their carrying costs and saving on insurance and security costs by having an occupied property. The Kemptville Pop-Up Shop Program can offer businesses up to five months of residency in a commercial space for half its market value (up to $750 a month, including utilities), marketing support (up to $500 in cash), along with mentorship from local entrepreneurs to establish and grow a business in this growing market. Building owners are offered a $500 signing bonus to license their space to the BIA, which provides the management, marketing and mentorship for the program. "Over the past 18 months, Downtown Kemptville has seen a significant revival. I've seen the stock of available commercial space shrinking. Now is the time to get into this prime market," said John Barclay, executive director of the Old Town Kemptville BIA. Partial funding for the program is provided by the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area, the Economic Development Department of the Municipality of North Grenville, the Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario's (FedDev), and the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP). Sponsors to date include community-minded businesses Westerra Homes, Pringle Brothers Construction and James Street Writing Company. "The Municipality recognizes the professional standards and dedication the BIA possesses, and remains confident that financial support will be a valued investment in the downtown area and the overall business community," said Phil Gerrard, director of planning and development for North Grenville.

"Innovative ideas like Pop-Up Shops help bring together building owners and those wishing to launch businesses. It is even more worthwhile since is it being conducted in partnership with local business-minded businesses who care deeply about the future of our downtown," said Deb Wilson, chair of Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area. Media Contact: John Barclay at exec.director.bia@gmail.com or 613322 – 8132. GCFDC is one of the 15 community futures development corporations (CFDCs) in eastern Ontario supported by FedDev Ontario. CFDCs deliver a variety of programs and services to support community economic development and small business growth. They employ local staff and are each governed by a volunteer board of directors, made up of local residents representing the community. The Eastern Ontario Development Program is a $48-million economic development initiative focused on addressing economic challenges in eastern Ontario and taking advantage of innovative opportunities in the region. The five-year renewal of the program, from 2014 to 2019, is expected to result in more strategic, long-term economic development investments and collaborative projects that will benefit eastern Ontario businesses and communities. The Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a geographic location in downtown Kemptville. The BIA board of management is set up to provide business promotion and to improve municipal property within that area. The mandate of the Old Town Kemptville BIA is to provide leadership and advocacy for the collaborating stakeholders (businesses, building owners, residents and those who work downtown) with the goal of achieving an economically sustainable and thriving commercial and social hub in North Grenville. The Old Town Kemptville BIA board of management consists of Deb Wilson, chair (Grahame's Bakery); Stephen Bent, treasurer (CIBCKemptville); Paul Cormier, secretary (RANA Development, Inc.); Blair Hamilton (Home Hardware); Lee McIlvenna (Geronimo Coffee House); Connie Lamble (Law Office of Connie Lamble); Chris MelnickMacDonald (Indiciumx); Stephanie Gilmer (World Hope Canada); and Coun. Donovan Arnaud, municipal representative. Applications for the Pop-Up Shop Program and more information can be found at www.OldTownKemptville.com.

Fill-The-Bus campaign brings in 1,400 pounds of food, $1,630 for House of Lazarus The House of Lazarus (HOL) Food Bank shelves have been restocked. Thanks goes out to the community, who contributed 1,400 pounds of food and $1,630 to the food bank during the third annual Fill-TheBus campaign, held on Aug. 25 at Jonsson’s Independent Grocer and Walmart in Kemptville. “It was another great year for Fill-The-Bus,” noted Kim Merkley, manager of client services at HOL. “We can’t thank the community enough for all their support.” Rilla Seward-McShane and Penny Beavis, both from Coldwell Banker Coburn Realty, sponsored this year’s Fill-The-Bus campaign. The pair matched all monetary donations collected on Aug. 25, bringing the total from $815 to $1,630. Usage of the buses was donated by Lannin Bus Line and Wubs Transit, who support Fill-The-Bus annually. Volunteer drivers Jeff Ar-

cand and Barb Levesque donated their time toward the campaign. Each month, the HOL Food Bank supports between 100 and 110 local families. The HOL also supports nearly 1,200 families and individuals each year through outreach programs, such as Food with Friends (gift cards to purchase food for the Kemptville Youth Centre and Dundas Youth Centre) and starting over kits for fire victims. More than 40 per cent of the clients served at the HOL Food Bank are children. “We were able to put food on every seat of both buses and that was our goal,” said Merkley. “The shelves are full again and we have the community to thank for that.” For more information about upcoming events, or to donate, visit the House of Lazarus at 2245 Simms St. in Mountain or call 613-989-3830.

Grassroot Grannies visit Merrickville during 8th annual Ride to Turn the Tide BY PAULINA HREBACKA

phrebacka@metroland.com

Since 2010, the Grassroot Grannies have undertaken a three-day-long bike ride every year, known as the Ride to Turn the Tide, to raise money for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The foundation supports grandmothers in Africa who are caring for their orphaned grandchildren as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The Grassroot Grannies consists of 21 grandmother cyclists, four male cyclists and four support people who bike a total of 265 kilometres, taking off from Stittsville and travelling through Almonte, Perth, Merrickville and Metcalfe. During their journey, the Grannies are provided accommodation and hospitality by affiliated Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign groups and other local supporters along the way. On Thursday, Sept. 7, the Grannies made their eighth annual visit to the

Merrickville United Church, where they are hosted for lunch every year. “We prefer riding bikes to making supper,” said cyclist Joy O’Donnell. “We always look forward to coming here, and we especially look forward to the soup. We’re always very well-fed along the way.” The Merrickville United Church also made a monetary donation to the Grassroot Grannies, which was unexpected and received with great appreciation. “On behalf of the 26 of us here today, I want to thank you so much,” said organizer Nancy Hough. “We’re all a little cool, I think, from the last hour or so of our journey, so the hot soup and wraps are hitting the spot. We really appreciate your generosity and all your hard work.” The Ride to Turn the Tide has come a long way since raising $30,000 in their first year to raising just short of $60,000 this year.

We’ll Meet Again production comes back to Kemptville Nov. 10 and 12 Poor Josephine has been captured and put in the flying machine and she is scared of heights! Rehearsals are in full swing for We’ll Meet Again. This show is a collection of songs and skits from the times around both World Wars. We’ll Meet Again was performed in Kemptville in 1985, 2004, and 2013 to sold-out audiences and it returns again in this sesquicentennial year to

honour all our veterans. This year is also the 100th anniversary of Canada’s involvement in the battle for Vimy Ridge and the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid. We’ll Meet Again was originally commissioned by the Royal Canadian Legion, using writers and musicians from the Ottawa area to celebrate the legion’s 50th anniversary. The proceeds from

this show all go to Kemptville & District Home Support (KDHS). Come join us in laughter and song in this production of We’ll Meet Again being held at the Urbandale Arts Centre on Friday evening, Nov. 10 and Sunday afternoon, Nov. 12. Tickets are available at KDHS and at Brewed Awakenings. For information, call 613-258-3203.

Imagine for a moment hearing the news “the biopsy has come back and it does not look good.” How do you feel? Imagine for a moment your spouse has been diagnosed with ALS. What does this mean? What will happen? What do you need? Who do you talk to? Imagine for a moment that you are widowed, recently diagnosed with cancer, undergoing chemo and you are offered a therapy that might help relax you but you’re apprehensive because no one has touched you in three years. Imagine waking up in the morning and saying, “thank God I awakened and I can breathe today.” For many of us, we do not want to even imagine experiencing any of these situations, but for many that we meet and care for; this is their experience. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association states that: “Hospice palliative care (HPC) is aimed at relieving suffering and improving the quality of living and dying. It strives to help clients and their families to address the physical, psychologi-

cal, social, spiritual and practical issues, and their associated expectations, needs, hopes and fears.” It also helps prepare for and manage self-determined life closure and the dying process as well as cope with loss and grief during the illness and bereavement. A HPC approach is appropriate for any individual and/ or family who are living with a life-limiting illness due to any diagnosis, with any prognosis, regardless of age, and at any time when they have unmet expectations and/or needs, and are prepared to accept care. This approach may complement and enhance a therapy or it may become the total focus of care. This approach can be delivered by an interdisciplinary team of health care providers. Individuals, their families and caregivers are part of this team. Care can be provided in one’s home, retirement home, long-term care facility, hospital or hospice. At Beth Donovan Hospice, we provide a variety of programs including in-home volunteer visiting, day hospice, grief

All our services are provided free of charge. When individuals have access to hospice palliative care, they report fewer symptoms, better quality of life and greater satisfaction in their care. A hospice in Florida once stated: “When we enter this world, we’re surrounded by love, comfort and care; don’t we deserve the same when we leave?” Imagine now that you want more information about the services. Imagine now that you want to help make a difference in the lives of those living with a life-limiting experience. We love that imagination!
