Syrian family arrives in Kemptville Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Welcome home! The Syrian refugee family of five – a mother, father and their three young children - arrived in Kemptville on Sept. 9. “They are here,” said Pastor Ken Gehrels, Refugees In North Grenville vice-chair. “The family is hugely grateful to the Kemptville community.” The family was not fully aware of how big the team was that worked to bring them here until they arrived, he explained.

“And what was here for them,” said Gehrels. “The father arrived thinking he would be responsible for all the expenses right away.” The parents, who are both trained professionals, are enthusiastic about finding work when their English improves. “They are here to give their children a future,” said Gehrels. The kids, all under the age of four, were born in the refugee camp in Turkey, where the family lived until now. “The kids have only known the camp.”

Already, the family has met Jim Beveridge, owner of B&H Grocer in Kemptville, while out getting food. They also stopped by the Kemptville Farmers’ Market this past Sunday. “They loved it. They are happy, happy to be here.” A small group of RING volunteers is in charge of orientating the family, who are being settled in prior to being introduced to the community at large. “They are jet-lagged, overwhelmed and trying to get their feet under them,” said Gehrels. RING only had 10 days to prepare for the family’s arrival, after finding out about their imminent departure from Turkey on Aug. 30. “We got the apartment two days before they came,” Gehrels explained. “The housing team swung into high gear; cleaned it up and staged it to make it a spotless, welcoming apartment.” “This is people helping people help people,” he continued. “This is the community of Kemptville at work.”

REAL hosts sixth annual showcase of local foods Oct. 15 at Gallipeau Centre Chris Must

chrismust@metroland.com

A showcase of the best that local food producers have to offer will once again be presented at the Gallipeau Centre as the Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) hosts its sixth Local Foods Harvest Dinner. The event is set for Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Ballroom of the Gallipeau Centre on Queen Street just outside Smiths Falls. As well as providing a showcase for local producers and encouraging environmental awareness, the annual dinner is also REAL’s major fundraisers for the year, said President Barb Hicks. In addition to a buffetstyle dinner, silent auction of donated items and live music by The British Invasion, this year’s event will feature a new attraction. “This time we’re going to try to do appetizer tasting stations,” said Hicks. The tasting stations will be set up during the social hour from 6 to 7 p.m., and guests will have the opportunity to meet some of the local producers who made the ingredients used in the appetizers. The chef for the evening is Amy Rensby of Magnolia Catering. “She’s well known in the community,” said

Hicks. Rensby is also co-owner of The Ivy on William, a former Presbyterian Church on William St. W., which has been converted into a multipurpose facility. “We try to make sure all those foods have come from Lanark, Leeds and Grenville,” said Hicks. In past years the dinner has included some exotic offerings, such as goat, rabbit, and bison. Organizers also plan to offer a vegetarian option. The cash bar will feature a selection of local beers and Ontario wines. Guests are invited to take advantage of a special earlybird offer. Anyone purchasing a ticket before Sunday, Sept. 18 will receive a $5 discount. After Sept. 18 tickets are $60 each, with $20 eligible for a charitable donation receipt. For anyone interested, tours of the Two Rivers Food Hub, also located at the Gallipeau Centre, will be available from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Hicks said the fundraiser normally raises about $5,000 for REAL each year. This is largely due to the support of sponsors, with local businesses, organizations and some families providing varying levels of financial support. “It is the same core of people year after year, which is very

gratifying,” said Hicks. Musical entertainment during the cocktail hour and following the dinner will be provided by The British Invasion. This three-piece band plays a selection of favourites by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and other well-known British bands of the 1960s and ‘70s. The band was part of the line-up at this year’s Rideau Paddlefest in Smiths Falls, and recently provided the music for a sold-out dinner and show package at The Brigadoon Restaurant in Oxford Mills. Master of ceremonies for the evening will be Wayne Cavanagh. The Rideau Environmental Action League was founded in Smiths Falls in 1989. The mission of the non-profit organization is “to project, preserve and enhance our environmental for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations through advocacy, education, recognition and projects within Eastern Ontario.” Tickets are available at Modern Thymes, 11 Russell St. E. in Smiths Falls; the REAL Deal store at 85 William St. W. in Smiths Falls; and from Barb Hicks at 613283-9966.

New executive director takes the reins of Lanark County Community Justice Program

Submitted photo

Sarah Bingham has been named the new executive director of the Lanark County Community Justice Program after current executive director Beth Peterkin announced her retirement. relationships. Through the BE STRONG program, LCCJP staff

and volunteers are bringing the use of restorative approaches to schools and youth centres throughout the service area. The Ministry of the Attorney General provides funding assistance needed for court diversion cases involving youth aged 12 to 17. LCCJP is also pleased to be a United Way of Lanark County partner, with United Way funding primarily used to help with cases of youth aged 18 to 25 years. The Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Law Foundation of Ontario and other community partners have made the school program a reality.

Lanark County Community Justice Program (LCCJP) is pleased to announce the hiring of a new executive director. Sarah Bingham will join the LCCJP team as of Sept. 19, replacing current executive director Beth Peterkin, who is retiring. The organization has experienced a growth in capacity over the past two years with a new emphasis on providing court diversion services to young adults in the 18 to 25-year-old range, the implementation of the school/youth centre initiative in restorative approaches, mentoring and training of other non-profits in the use of restorative practices, and the expansion of staffing hours. Peterkin has led LCCJP through these changes and has now decided it is time for her to step down. “The organization is in a strong position and I am excited to see what can be accomplished over the next few years,” says Peterkin. “However, I feel the time is right for me to retire and turn the leadership of LCCJP over to someone else.” The board of directors underwent a thorough recruitment, screening and interview process early in August with 40 candidates applying for the position. “We are very happy to announce that Sarah Bingham has accepted our offer of employment,” says chair Murray Long. Bingham is a Lanark County resident with more than six years of related experience in the social service world. Most recently, she has been employed at Lanark County Interval House and she has a solid knowledge and understanding of vulnerable populations of all ages. “I am honoured and excited to lead the Lanark County Community Justice team as we expand our services to create stronger, healthier communities throughout Lanark County,” says Bingham. “I am looking forward to working alongside our many community partners to continue building restorative justice approaches into regular practices. As a passionate believer in the power of this work, I can tell you this is a very exciting time for the organization and for all of us here in Lanark County.” Bingham joins Sheri Halladay (program co-ordinator) and Andrew Lynch (community animator) as well as about 40 community volunteers in bringing services to Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls. Restorative justice is a process that brings together accused persons and complainants in a circle forum, to work together to heal the harm that has been caused by an incident and to rebuild

Lanark County Live Poets Society back from hiatus, ready to launch new season Finally, they’re back! After a year-long hiatus, Lanark County Live Poets Society (LiPS) is once again taking to the stage to share their talent and uniquely poetic insights. A new season is starting this September, in a new venue, and a “new” format, but with the same wonderful atmosphere of creativity, authenticity and community that LiPS has always been known for. Our local LiPS poetry collective remains the only rural region represented at the annual national poetry

slam competition, the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word (CFSW). LiPS also has the honour of having both the youngest and the oldest poets compete at the national slam competitions in the past, which really shows how broad and accepting this group of poets and performers are. And if you’ve never been to a LiPS poetry event, or any other spoken word shows before, rest assured, this is not your run of the mill poetry: There is something for everyone’s taste and it is always an

entertaining evening. Cover charge is only $5 and performers get in free. The 2016-2017 LiPS season begins on Friday, Sept. 16 at Coutts Coffee at 57 Gore Street East in Perth. Doors open for the Welcome Back Wordfest at 6:30 p.m. and

the event consists of what the group refers to (tongue in cheek) as a S.L.A.M. which is Sharing Language and Music – an open mic format that everyone is welcome to participate in, whether you’re a singer, storyteller, comedian or poet. If you have anything you

want to say or perform, you’re welcome to come and share. Monthly poetry events mark the path to an exciting competitive format Slam Finals night in April which will determine who will make up Lanark County’s team heading to represent us on the national stage at CFSW

2017 in Peterborough. For more information on how to participate or to find out when you can come and check it out, please visit LiPS on Facebook or email us at lanarklips@hotmail.com. Submitted by Lanark County Live Poets Society

COMMENTARY

Another cautionary note

y helping to spread the word about scams, we hope to raise awareness and reduce the risk that local residents fall victim to fraudsters. At least three such scams have been noted by law enforcement agencies in our region recently. The OPP are warning guests of hotels about telephone calls that sound legit but are not. The so-called front desk scam makes the guest believe he or she is being contacted by someone at that hotel or resort; when the caller requests credit card information such as the number or three-digit security code on the back of the card, the guest might comply thinking everything is fine. Unfortunately, the caller is a scammer who either calls the hotel and is put through to the room or manages to tap into the existing automated system and make a direct connection to the guest. OPP suggest not providing credit card information over the phone. Tell the caller that you will go to the

front desk to deal with the problem in person. If there is no problem, report the call to the hotel manager and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1888-495-8501). Another scam making the rounds throughout the tri-county area is an online secret shopper offer in which cheques are provided for cashing purposes. If the recipient spends money he or she believes is on the way after a cheque clears, that person will be out the cash when the cheque turns out to be a fake. Fraud can happen to anyone and if something seems too good to be true or has yourself asking questions, don’t give out the personal information being requested. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or take time to mull over what is being requested or offered. It could end up being time well spent if it stops a scammer from taking your money or credit.

Fireflies became a cruel game for Mary's brothers They were everywhere. Glowing in the dark of the night. I wasn’t frightened of them. I was frightened for them. They were the many fireflies that came out in the heat of the summer and once darkness had settled in, they flitted around, not that far from the ground...many little glowing lights, no doubt unaware of the danger awaiting them. I once was frightened by the fireflies, but then my sister Audrey said they were simply tiny pieces of stars broken off by unseen angels and sent down to bring light in the darkness. That made perfect sense to me, and certainly eliminated any fear I had of them. What didn’t make sense to me and filled my veins with ice water, was how my three brothers could murder those harm-

less little flies. They were easy to catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what lay in store for them. And this is when my three brothers would commit their murderous act, so that the poor creatures could no longer fly. They actually ripped the little bodies apart and put the small pieces of glowing light up and down their arms, until they looked like they were carrying many tiny little flashlights. Then the brothers would tear around the yard like people possessed! They would yell and laugh, enjoying their murderous acts. I covered my ears with my hands, so I couldn’t hear them and pleaded with Mother to stop their cruel acts, but that got me nowhere. I would stay in the house, praying for Mother to say it

Mother went to the door, hit the wooden spoon against the tin disc that hung on a nail and used to call everyone in for meals, and one by one the brothers headed into the house, leaving the evidence of what they had been up to outside. They were still talking about what a great night it had been

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader feels columnist's assumptions will lead to higher hydro rates DEAR EDITOR:

Jeff Maguire, in his column about soaring hydro rates (Sept. 8), complains that high electricity prices are caused by “green” energy. It's too bad that the talking points of the Ontario Tory party have caused him to have such a negative opinion of green energy because if he did his own research he would have discovered that the nuclear lobby both inside and outside of government is the most powerful player in Ontario's energy establishment. Hydro One is not the only part of the elec-

trical system with high salaries. Ontario Power Generation which is dominated by its nuclear section (nuclear produces 50 to 60 per cent of Ontario's electricity) and Bruce Nuclear have their own highly paid executives. Bruce Nuclear promotes itself in television commercials as a clean, wonderful source of electricity. The nuclear lobby, I believe, has worked hard to limit green energy in Ontario and it has succeeded. We see a lot of solar panels in

eastern Ontario but they produce less than five per cent of our electricity and the nuclear lobby will keep it that way because the plans to refurbish aging reactors will mean that there is no room in the system for green energy. Any advancement of renewable energy is a threat to nuclear power. One of Mr. Maguire’s suggestions to lower hydro rates is to build natural gas power plants away from heavily populated centres. This will not happen because communities, which don’t want windmills, will not welcome natural gas plants either. Also, as previously mentioned, there will be no need for any more electricity with all the refurbished nuclear plants. Another idea Mr. Maguire puts forward is to buy electricity from Quebec, which is also a nonstarter, again because of opposition from the nuclear lobby. The fact that Mr. Maguire has attacked renewable energy helps consolidate the power of the nuclear establishment and this will guarantee higher hydro prices since refurbishing Ontario’s aging nuclear reactors will be very expensive. If Mr. Maguire had done his homework, he would have discovered that the cost of renewable energy has gone down

dramatically. It is quite likely to keep on going down and it will be the lower cost alternative. It should be noted that despite Mr. Maguire’s statement that there are fears in the community about “giant towers” (windmills) contributing to health problems, the Harper government, after doing a health study for a year, had to admit reluctantly that windmills do not cause health problems. Those who pine for the good old days when we had “cheap” nuclear energy should realize that we were never charged the true cost of nuclear and that’s why Ontario Hydro had a big debt, which became the stranded debt under Premier Mike Harris. The conclusion is that Mr. Maguire, without knowing it, is helping the nuclear lobby maintain its near monopoly and tight control of the Ontario electrical system and with it the guarantee that hydro rates will go up. The best chance we have of stopping this is to have a mix of renewable energy and electricity from Quebec. The added benefit of renewables is that we will have a clean, renewable source of energy without the hazards and waste of nuclear power. Wolfe Erlichman Godfrey

Finally, the brothers came upstairs, and they had to pass through our bedroom, which was really a big hall, leading to their beds in the back room. Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to make my life miserable, came right over to where I was sitting on the side of the bed waiting for Mother to come and hear our prayers. He thrust out his arm and there were the remains of one of the murdered fireflies! Of course, it had lost its glow. Audrey gave him a poke that sent him flying and told him to get ready for bed or he would be some sorry! And right then I knew what I was going to pray for. I was going to pray that the next time the

It took me a long time to fall asleep and when I did, I dreamed of angels breaking off little pieces of stars and sending them down to our farm in Northcote where they became fireflies. And I could see my brothers trying to catch them. But they soared way above the ground, and I dreamed I could hear the fireflies laughing. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

United Way Lanark County undertakes community consultation survey “United Way Lanark County (UWLC) wants to hear from our community to understand the needs of the residents of Lanark County and Smiths Falls,” says Helen McIntosh, board chair of UWLC. “To do that, we designed a short 10-question Community Consultation survey and we invite community members to complete the survey online before Oct. 28.” To access the survey please go to the UWLC website at www.lanarkunitedway.com, and click on the survey link. “UWLC will use the results to assist in future priority setting and funding decisions,” explains McIntosh. In 2014, after talking with community donors, partners, and other United Ways in Canada, UWLC introduced their Community Impact Grant (CIG) policy. This collective impact approach asks organizations to work together on vital projects for our communities. The project should address a demonstrated local need and align with one or more of UWLC’s three focus areas: All that kids can be, From poverty to possibility, and Healthy people, strong communities. Each of UWLC’s focus areas has two priority goals, which clearly define the objectives

In operation since 1987, UWLC raised over $5.5 million in support of local initiatives during those 29 years. “We recently announced our commitment to investing $258,898 over the next three years into programs and projects. These will have a vital impact in our community, starting with an investment of $108,195 in 2016,” says Fraser Scantlebury, executive director. For a full list of funded projects, please see UWLC’s website at www. lanarkunitedway.com. “As part of our new CIG funding,” explains Scantlebury “we are able to extend funding for up to five years. This allows projects to have the time needed for our partners to achieve their goals.” United Way Lanark County is 100 per cent local – all funds raised in the area go towards assisting those in need in Lanark County and Smiths Falls. The UWLC volunteer board of directors of makes all funding decisions. Submitted by United Way Lanark County

How much would you go over budget to win a bidding war for your dream home? A new study of recent Ontario home buyers and home sellers, commissioned by the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), found that 47 per cent of those polled would consider paying up to 10 per cent over their budget and 31 per centwould consider offering 10 to 20 per cent more to outbid the competition. In the Greater Toronto Area, where bidding wars are more likely to occur, 57 per cent of respondents would consider offering up to 10 per cent over budget and 38 per cent would consider going over their budget by between 10 to 20 per cent. To help consumers overcome the challenges of a hot market, Sept. 7 RECO launched the Be Home Smart Tour, a community outreach campaign that will travel to 13 locations across Ontario this fall and into 2017. The campaign includes an interactive display booth targeting those in the buying and/ or selling stage of their lives – engaged/newly married couples, new parents and

downsizing boomers. “Our research findings make it clear that too many Ontarians may be struggling to keep a cool head in the hot and highly-competitive real estate markets that are becoming the norm,” said Joe Richer, registrar of RECO. “Buying or selling a home can be a rollercoaster of emotions. People tend to let their heart rule their heads, especially first-time buyers,” he added. In fact, the survey found that 35 per cent of recent homebuyers said they let their emotions influence them more than they should have the last time they purchased a home. Among millennials 18 to 34 years of age, the number jumped to 42 per cent. “Real estate transactions can happen at lightning speed, especially in markets where there is a shortage of listings. The best way to make quick decisions in the heat of the moment is to prepare in advance,” Richer said. The RECO Be Home Smart Tour made its first stop at Canada’s Bridal Show in Toronto at the Metro Convention Centre Sept. 9 to 11

and will also be visiting other locations in Toronto and London this fall. About RECO RECO regulates the real estate profession in Ontario. RECO is responsible for administering the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA 2002) and associated regulations on behalf of the provincial government. In order to trade in real estate in Ontario, brokers and salespersons must be registered under REBBA 2002. RECO’s mission is excellence in the delivery of regulatory services that protect the public interest and enhance consumer confidence in the real estate profession. RECO is part of Consumer Protection Ontario (CPO), an awareness program from Ontario’s Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. CPO helps Ontarians learn about the right questions to ask before making important purchasing decisions. For more information, visit www.reco.on.ca. Source: Real Estate Council of Ontario

Housing market responds to increasing supply level during month of August: CMHC The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 195,640 units in August compared to 201,379 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “Housing starts declined in August, as construction of multi-unit dwellings slowed in most regions, led by lower activity in Alberta and Manitoba,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC chief economist. “However, housing market activity levels remain elevated and this decline in starts is the market’s response to increasing levels of supply. Multi-unit inventories are above average in

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TEMP!

several major markets across the country.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market that can vary significantly from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR for all areas in Canada was 182,703 units in August, down from 194,663 units in July. The SAAR of urban starts decreased by 6.1 per cent in August to 167,879

units. Multiple urban starts decreased by 7.3 per cent to 111,378 units in August and single-detached urban starts decreased by 3.7 per cent to 56,501 units. In August, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts decreased in the Prairies, British Columbia, Ontario, and in Atlantic Canada, but increased in Quebec. Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 14,824 units. CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.

One day I woke up from my afternoon nap at the Perth Pet Valu store to find my brother Benny had left the bed already. I quickly jumped from my cage to look for him as it was playtime. I looked and looked and could not believe my ears when they told me he had left to his forever home. I cried for a while and was comforted by the nice ladies in the store. They told me soon a forever home would come for me too. Since then I am eagerly awaiting who comes first to pick me up. I might take a day or two to warm up to you but once I know you’re the one I give in and will reward you with lots of hugs and cuddles. Please meet me in Perth, I am a sweet boy!

Little boy’s loss frames true story of the Titanic disaster In the days following the tragic sinking of the ‘Titanic’ off Newfoundland in April 1912, the crews of two cable repair ships took on the grim task of recovering as many bodies as possible before the unforgiving waters of the North Atlantic claimed them for eternity. Among the remains crew from the British registered vessel ‘MackayBennett’ plucked from the sea was that of a tiny boy. He was warmly dressed but his was the only body recovered who was not wearing a life jacket. Speculation was that the little lad was sheltered in his mother’s arms when the giant liner plunged to an icy grave early on the morning of April 15, 1912. Everyone knows the Titanic story. Her sad end, on the vessel’s maiden voyage, is one of the most often told and retold real life disaster tales of all time. There is a painful story attached to each of the more than 1,500 passengers and crew who went down with the ship. The saddest fact of all is that had the shipping rules of the day been different most, if not all, of those aboard the grand ship would have been saved. There simply weren’t enough lifeboats to accommodate the more than 2,200 occupants and just 706 were rescued. The blond-haired boy’s body was located on April 20, one of 306 Ti-

tanic victims recovered by the Mackay-Bennett. Only 328 bodies in total were ever found. In early May a funeral service was held for the youngster and he was buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax. His final resting place is at the end of one of three long rows of graves containing the remains of 121 Titanic passengers and crew. Fairview has more Titanic burials than any cemetery in the world. In addition 19 victims were interred at Mount Olivet Cemetery and 10 at Baron de Hirsch Cemetery, elsewhere in Halifax. The little lad’s original marker, paid for by Mackay-Bennett sailors who were so moved when they retrieved his body, is engraved in capital letters. It reads: “Erected to the memory of an unknown child whose remains were recovered after the disaster to the “Titanic” April 15th, 1912.” The grave of the unknown child soon came to symbolize the lives of the 53 young children who perished in the Titanic disaster. But that is not the end of the story as you will discover as you continue to read my column this week. On Sunday, Aug. 7 my wife Kathleen and I, in the company of our good friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc, visited Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax. It is a well-kept burial ground and due to its prominence the section containing the graves of

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Titanic victims is well marked. Fairview is among the top destinations in Halifax due to its connection to the most well-known maritime disaster of all time. Personal journey We were deeply moved by the experience! For the LeBlancs and Maguires, the Fairview visit completed a personal journey which began in Ireland two years ago. In June 2014, two years and two months after the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, the four of us visited the most prominent locations connected with the great ship. First we went to Cobh (formerly Queenstown) which is located near Ireland’s second city, Cork, on the south coast of the island nation. Queenstown was the last port of call for Titanic before she ventured west, meeting an untimely and disastrous end. At Queenstown some passengers disembarked, thus escaping death,

while others boarded and were never seen again. There is a monument to the victims in Queenstown, along with a visitors’ centre which includes details of the Titanic story, but with particular emphasis on those passengers with connections to Ireland. On the way to Cobh our tour bus also stopped at the nearby Old Church Cemetery which contains three mass graves and several other individual graves of 193 people who perished when the British liner ‘Lusitania’ was torpedoed by a German submarine off Old Head of Kinsale, not far from present day Cobh. That sinking occurred on May 7, 1915, just over three years after the Titanic tragedy and took the lives of nearly 1,200 passengers and crew. Lusitania is also well remembered in the former Queenstown! We toured the excellent Maritime museum in Cobh which features both great liners. Just a week later the four of us were in Northern Ireland. In Belfast we saw Harland and Wolff shipyard where Titanic was constructed. We also toured the truly incredible ‘Titanic Belfast’ museum. Opened in March 2012 Titanic Belfast has quickly become the most visited attraction in the Northern Ireland capital. I highly recommend the high-tech experience which offers the most complete information available on Titanic. Visiting and viewing the many Ti-

tanic graves in Halifax provides real names and underlines the true stories involved in a disaster which, over the years, has often been over dramatized. Hollywood movies have failed to do justice to this all too real tragedy! Of the 150 Titanic burials in Halifax, 41 are unknown. There were 42. Until researchers uncovered the true identity of the tiny boy I mentioned earlier. It took nearly a century, but due to the miracle of DNA profiling his identity is no longer a mystery. His name was Sidney Leslie Goodwin. He was just one year, 225 days old when he and all of his family perished in the Titanic sinking. Sidney’s parents Frederick and Augusta were taking their six children to a new life in Niagara Falls, New York at the time of the disaster. Also lost were Sidney’s five siblings Lillian, Charles, William, Jessie (a female) and Harold. None of the other Goodwin family members were identified among those bodies recovered, although it is possible one or more are among the other unknowns interred in Halifax. The Goodwin’s, who hailed from Melksham, Wiltshire, England were third class passengers. A sad truth in the wake of the Titanic tragedy is that third class passengers were not always treated with the same respect and dignity as their first and second See MAGUIRE page 20

class counterparts. But that’s another story! According to a Canadian Press article, written in the fall of 2012, it was partly due to the efforts of Halifax author and researcher Alan Ruffman that Sidney was identified. He helped push for an exhumation and the subsequent DNA analysis. That story begins in 2002. However, it was not a straight path to success. Initial examination of the remains concluded the young victim was a 13-month-old Finnish boy. Shoes a clue Two years later a family from Ontario donated a pair of mottled brown shoes they claim belonged to the same youngster. Incredibly they were descendants of a Halifax police officer who recovered the small shoes while standing guard over the remains of Titanic victims and their belongings in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. The shoes are now on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on the Halifax waterfront. Investigators concluded the shoes were too large for

a 13-month-old. Through a process of elimination the search eventually focused on 19-month-old Sidney Goodwin. Researchers at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario then took on the task of cross-matching DNA from the victim with descendants of the Goodwin family. In 2010 their more advanced DNA coding method produced the results so many were hoping for. Now, if you visit Fairview Cemetery you will see a new marker bearing the name Sidney Leslie Goodwin and his birth and death dates (Sept. 9, 1910 and April 15, 1912). There is also a very good photo of the little lad there which is bound to bring tears to your eyes. People are good and many visitors have left mementos at the base of the original marker. The number four, which has been assigned to Sidney’s grave, appears at the bottom of the new temporary marker. In addition flowers, Canadian coins (of various denominations), a handwritten note and a stuffed animal adorned the grave when we were there last month. Perhaps in time a new marker will be raised at the

site, although in a way I would rather it be left as a tribute to the 75 crew members of the C.S. Mackay-Bennett. They insisted on paying for the funeral and marker despite overtures from many others who wished to underwrite the costs. The ship’s company marched together to the funeral service for the then unknown little boy which was held on May 4, 1912 in St. George’s Anglican Church in Halifax. Thousands viewed the church parade. Official reports on the Titanic sinking contain this poignant notation. “Unknown child buried by crew of C.S. Mackay-Bennett, by special request.” I photographed many other marked graves of Titanic victims in the Halifax cemetery. There is an interesting history behind every one of those individuals. To me though it is the story of Sidney Goodwin, a blondhaired boy who died far before his time that frames this terrible tragedy and brings the true story of the Titanic to life for anyone who visits Fairview Cemetery.

Miracle landing only part of tale in Eastwood film MOVIE: Sully STARRING: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Mike O’Mally DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood RATING: PG The Miracle on the Hudson captivated the world. We all know what happened that day. We saw the news, we saw the interviews, we saw the crew on David Letterman. So why do we need a movie? Sully goes beyond the news to tell the story behind the events, and connect with the people who made it happen. On January 15, 2009 US Airways flight 1549 out of LaGuardia Airport was struck by a flock of geese. With both engines inoperable, and the plane rapidly losing thrust, Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) were forced to take emergency action. Runways were cleared for an emergency landing, but their altitude was too low. Sully knew they would never make an airport so he took the only option available to him. He landed his plane on the Hudson River. For every condition and factor to come into play the way they did was a miracle. For Sully to land his plane on the Hudson,

My Take

MARK HASKINS

and have every single passenger and crewmember walk away unharmed was beyond belief. Sully takes us into those events second-by-second and momentby-moment. It also takes us to the events that happened after. We see the investigation of the crash. We see head investigator Charles Porter (Mike O’Mally) claim Sully could have made it to an airport. We see the engineers’ reports, the computer simulations and pilot simulations, and the toll it all takes on Sully as he second guesses and questions everything that happened in those three minutes. Like most people I knew the facts of the events surrounding Sully. What I didn’t know was what happened during the investigation. I didn’t know they tried to blame Sully for what happened. Getting to see that investigation play out across the big screen is fascinating. Eastwood brings those details to light beautifully, but he does so much

more than that. His focus is on the people, and Chesley Sullenberger in particular. It’s on who Sully is, how he thinks, what motivates him, and how this whole thing affected him emotionally and psychologically. It’s a beautiful story. The supporting cast is excellent. Laura Linney, who plays Lorraine Sullenberger, Aaron Eckhart, and Mike O’Mally show such conviction and integrity in their performances. These are real events and real people, and the cast is extremely sensitive to that. Tom Hanks is one of those rare talents who can do anything. He can do comedy, he can star in an action film, and he can do drama. In Sully he doesn’t play Chesley Sullenberger, he inhabits him. He becomes him. Hanks doesn’t try to make Sully into someone he isn’t. He gives an honest portrayal, and in doing so creates something powerful. Sully takes an already remarkable story and gives us the story behind the story. It goes beyond the facts to give us an intimate look at the real people involved. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Jordan Yolkowskie and Sarah Patterson know the importance of home and family. Standing in the living room of the new Minto Dream Home on Sept. 12, the couple, from Lombardy, Ont. near Smiths Falls, held a photo of their eight-month-old daughter Everley, who is currently receiving life-saving care at CHEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent a total of 210 days at CHEO,â&#x20AC;? said Patterson. Their daughter was born with a rare genetic condition known as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, which affects just 1,000 people worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She essentially stops breathing when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeping,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said of her first born, who also suffers from a seizure disorder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a struggle every day with her,â&#x20AC;? Yolkowskie said of Everley, who had to be resuscitated 17 times in a single day two weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really are dealing with life and death every day with her,â&#x20AC;? said Patterson. Their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience is why the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support is needed to help fund the work that CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical team is doing to save the lives of thousands of children every year.

You’re a snowbird and for years you’ve rented a condo in southern climes. What a great way to relax and enjoy life while avoiding Canada’s frosty winters! But this coming winter may turn out to be less (financially) relaxing for you than most. Around April is the time when many snowbirds make the decision about where they’ll be living when they head south. They make their decisions, sign their rental agreements and pay their deposits – in other words, they are “locked in”. That’s exactly what you did last April and then…the exchange rate continued to drop. Now, that rental deal that looked quite economical in April will look a lot less attractive this fall and winter. So, what do you do when April 2017 rolls around? Do you roll the dice and secure a condo rental for winter 2017? Or do you “exchange” your shorts for a snowsuit and “exchange” a pîna colada on the beach for a Canadian slushy at home? With uncertainty on whether the exchange rate will improve any time soon, you may be inclined to forego your southern sojourn next winter – but you have other options. You could opt to rent for a shorter period or wait past next April to see if you can get a better rental deal: Because of the exchange rate, condo avails may be up and demand may be down prompting rental agencies to lower their rents (especially those that rely on snowbirds to boost sales). Here are some other tips for getting more from the lowering loonie on your next trip south: • Explore the exchange rates offered by boutique currency exchange companies.

Invest in life. Contact us for more information.

Manage Your Money The Canadian Snowbirds Association provides a currency exchange program that offers very competitive rates. • Buy U.S. dollars over the year whenever the loonie goes up. • Open a U.S. dollar account at a bank that offers no-cost transfers from a Canadian U.S. dollar account to a U.S. dollar account in the United States. • If you’re flying, consider doing so from a U.S. border airport where airfares may be cheaper. • Check out more affordable destinations away from the usual southern “hotspots”; the exchange rate and cost of living may be more favourable in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and other non-traditional southern locations. It’s an unavoidable fact: No one can predict the future with 100% accuracy. The key is to be prepared for whatever comes. That’s why planning for the most economical snowbird sojourn is important – and why total financial planning for all your retirement years is even more vital.

TV personality Kathie Donovan guest speaker at Brett Pearson Run for Your Life Sept. 24 Brian Turner

It would be hard to find too many people in our area that haven’t heard of Kathie Donovan. Her 14-year stint on CTV Ottawa’s very popular Regional Contact made her a fixture in almost every home in eastern Ontario. But unlike most fixtures that become dated and collect dust, Kathie has embarked on a new and exciting career (or life journey as she calls it) and she shows absolutely no sign of slowing down. Kathie has already penned one very successful book (Inspiration in Action: A Women’s Guide to Happiness, released in 2013) and has another in the final stages set to be released this fall. It’s entitled Unconform: Harnessing the Power of Courage. Both will be available online at kathiedonovan.com. Since leaving CTV four years ago, Kathie has focused on making complicated things easy as she puts it and putting the final touches on her first book, started when still co-hosting Regional Contact. “That show was heart and soul TV,” she remarked in a recent interview and “clearly demonstrated to me that no matter what different paths our lives and careers take us down, we are all the same.” She gravitated to the philosophy of the law of attraction (a concept that envisions positive thoughts and energies attracting positive life outcomes and negatives bringing less desired results).

quickly got past the “airy-fairiness” (her words) that many experts and authors have built around this guide to life and got down to the science of it and how it can benefit anyone. Her first book (Inspiration in Action) applies equally to both genders and contains several easy to complete exercises that reveal worlds about our attitudes and outlooks. She has now developed workshops for employers and other groups to help people declutter, refocus and build teamwork as well as improve communication. She will be a special guest speaker at this year’s Brett Pearson Run for Your Life being held Saturday, Sept. 24 in Carleton Place. Below is an excerpt from her second book about Brett and his mother Nicole and her journey powered by courage. “When I heard about Nicole Pearson and her son Brett’s story, I marveled at the courage she embraces to move forward and honour her son’s legacy. I think you will too. The Worst Loss: A Mother’s Message of Hope “If only he could have reached out for help.” These are the words I spoke after the painful loss of my precious son to suicide in 2006. Brett Pearson was just 16-years-old. How did I survive the loss of my son by suicide and still have the strength to carry on? How do I speak to others, feeling so much pain in my heart as a result of his premature departure? How do I find the

words and hide the tears when people ask me about Brett? I survive somehow. Every chance I have, I speak of Brett, holding on to the belief that I might reach a hurting soul so that his story won’t become someone else’s story. How do I begin with this story? With Brett’s energy. I always tried to present the positive side of life to my son. This is where I would like to start with my story, with the positive moments in my son’s life. As I look back on Brett’s childhood, I remember a beautiful blonde-haired, blueeyed boy with glasses, a child who had the looks to be cast in a TV cookie commercial. Brett was so full of life. As a youngster, his beautiful smile came easily as he worked on construction projects. Wherever our family lived, a patch of grass in our backward would be transformed into a construction zone with orange plastic cones carefully placed on dirt roads, so he could easily man oeuvre his wagon. I remember one winter in Carleton Place, where the sidewalks were meticulously plowed with his modified wagon. Brett had attached a plough to the front of his small wagon and fastened a blue light, pretending to be a town worker. Wearing his reflective vest and the blue light flashing as he pushed the snow off the sidewalks is a picture that will stay in my memory forever. As the years passed, Brett’s talents broadened into designing and building See DONOVAN page 26

bicycles. He printed plans from the internet, purchased the metal and welded the pieces together to make a frame. He then attached the handlebars, gears and brakes. As he applied the final coat of paint to his masterpieces, I could see this grin expressing his satisfaction of a project fait accompli. Brett also loved to ride his four-wheeler and snow mobile. He would head out to the trails behind our home, trimming branches and clearing paths in the bush for others. Brett had so much to live for. So, what happened to the hope and promise that life held for him? Why had this bright, creative, hard-working, sensitive teenager give up on life? I wish I had the answer. My son’s greatest quality was to help anyone who crossed his path. After his death, Brett’s friends and the parents in the community revealed to our family how Brett was a helping hand, always jumping at the chance to repair a lamp, a lawn mower, bicycles, cutting wood, and even stopping to help strangers on the roadside. Our last enjoyable time together was in July 2006, when Brett, his younger brother, Dennis, and I went up to my brother’s cottage in the Gatineau Hills. On this summer vacation, Brett built a cedar swing, expressing again his creative talent. We had a wonderful time, not knowing what would occur four months down the road. How I wish I could turn the clock back to the precious time we had. On a sadder note, Brett was suffering

emotionally. Many problems plagued his life. As one bad day slipped into another, depression took a strong hold on his emotions. Brett had difficulty reaching out for help, but my son hid his problems and his despair. I gave him unconditional love and would drop anything I was doing any day to help him with his various issues. If Brett would have had faith that the difficulties he was encountering at the time were just temporary, then he would have had the hope he desperately needed to continue on in life. On that fateful day, Brett had deep feelings of sadness, hopelessness and helplessness. It must have been like he was carrying a sack over his shoulder that was weighing him down and on Nov. 20, the burden became too much. Brett phoned me on that “black” day; I clearly remember our conversation. Was he phoning me, just to talk, maybe to hear my voice for the last time, but looking back I do remember saying “I love you” before we hung up. Knowing he heard those loving words from his mother gives me some comfort. I didn’t sense any desperation in his voice; it was just a normal conversation. Whatever made him decide to carry out his act, I know that at that moment in time he couldn’t think clearly or logically and was focused on the terrible feelings he was experiencing. He probably couldn’t see better times ahead and Brett wanted a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Sadly, Brett ended his life. I was the one to find Brett when I returned from work, five hours after our

previous conversation. I performed CPR on my son desperately hoping I could save him until emergency help arrived. How do I make sense of all of this? The order of my life was changed forever. How can a parent make sense of their child departing the world before them? I previously mentioned that my son’s greatest quality was helping others. Therefore, I decided to continue on with his mission. My work in helping youth started shortly after my son’s passing. At the time, the community was grieving and I felt a need to reach out to my son’s friends and the students at Carleton Place High School. I delivered a presentation to the Grade 11 and 12 students and from the students’ response, I knew that this was my calling. I wanted to get my message across to young people that they are not alone when faced with problems and that they don’t have to face the troubled times on their own. I wanted so desperately to let them know how to reach out to others and persuade them that problems are temporary and solvable. With the support of family, friends and the community, I have delivered over 150 presentations in the schools and publicly, reaching more than 5,500 individuals. I feel my dear Brett is close by as I deliver my messages of hope and this helps with my own grief. My undertaking took a new journey in 2011 when I organized, with the help of members of the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee, the first annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life. The event in 2011 was held on Sept. 10, which is World Suicide Prevention Day. In prep-

aration for the event, the Carleton Place Town Council declared Sept. 10 as Suicide Awareness Day in Carleton Place. The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life Memorial Run/Walk opens up the opportunity to reach many individuals who may be struggling in our communities. Every year the event brings more people out on this very special day, as we discuss mental illness, depression, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse. As I drive down our main street several days before Brett’s event, I drive frequently under the large banner stretched across the street. The tears come easily, seeing my precious son’s smiling picture on this banner, however it is as if he is watching over his whole community. My son’s life has taken a spiritual life of its own through this event, hopefully saving many lives along the way. The grief from a child’s death by suicide is unique. The lives of parents, families and friends are irreversibly changed by suicide. I have come to understand why the pain is so intense. Parents are left shattered and with the unanswerable question of “Why?” A child is the expression of parents’ love at its fullest; they are born as extensions of us. The child-mother bond has so many threads on so many levels that the ties are beyond biological. The connection originates at a spiritual level. I realized that I couldn’t move forward on my own and had to reach out for help. I was fortunate to have received wonderful support. I tell this story when I speak to youth: I tell them about how I needed support for myself; I explain that even though

problems can be quite overwhelming at times, reaching out to someone we trust can make such a difference. We are all faced with obstacles, how we survive these obstacles depends on whether our tool box is equipped with survivor tools. My goal and passion through my presentations is to pass on these resources, especially for our youth. “No problem is so big that it can’t be solved with help.” At first, and often for some time, it seemed impossible even to imagine finding peace of mind and heart. However, change did come over the months and years thanks to the support I received from my family and friends, as well as my community work. It was possible to rebuild my life and move forward, carrying with me the love for my child. The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life is an expression of the love I have for my precious Brett. I have him here with me in my heart, as I do always still breathing in the beauty and love that his spirit brings. — Nicole Pearson Nicole’s courage extends in all directions of her life. She models for her family and for the students she reaches with her presentations what a courageous life looks like. Yes, we need to inspire and encourage young people to ask for help when they feel they need it and we need to have that same message reach adults too. It takes courage to ask for support at any age and there is no shame and/or blame in asking for and receiving support when we need it.” – Kathie Donovan

Ride to Turn the Tide raises over $60,000 for Stephen Lewis Foundation Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Go grannies! The Grassroot Grannies are at it again, with their seventh annual Ride to Turn the Tide in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). This year, more than $60,000 has been raised for the cause to date, up from $58,000 last year. The SLF was founded following its namesake’s envoy to Africa, where HIV and AIDS have devastated communities. The middle generation was the hardest hit by HIV and AIDS, leaving African grandmothers to raise their grandchildren. The projects funded by the SLF are about teaching women to be self-sustaining. “It’s a worthy cause, but it’s also fun,” said Judy Laughton, the oldest female rider at 77-years-old. This is the third time she has participated in the ride. “I can’t say enough good things about this ride. To raise the money they do, with 23 riders – it’s just amazing.” The Ride to Turn the Tide is a three-day, 265 kilometre cycle tour. The ride kicked off on Sept. 7 at Bushtukah in Stittsville. The 23 participants and four support people travelled through Almonte, Perth, Merrickville and Metcalfe, before finishing the ride at Bushtukah in Westboro on Sept. 9. The grannies were treated to

The other groups that kept the grannies well fed and housed during the ride include: Mississippi Grannies in Almonte, Lanark County Grannies in Perth, Metcalfe Grandmothers All About Kids and Riverside Grannies at the Riverside United Church. “What’s amazing is everywhere we go, grandmother

groups feed us,” said Anthony Woods, the youngest rider by over a decade at 42 years old. “I never eat so well.” Woods has participated in the ride three times now, alongside his mother Lina Hallé, who is a member of the Grassroot Grannies. “There is so much support for this ride, it’s crazy,” said Woods. “It’s a really, really great cause.” Agnes McIvor has been a

support person for the ride for the past four years, driving the van carrying the rider’s belongings. “The reason I do it is this is such an amazing group,” said McIvor. “I am amazed they can ride all day yesterday and get up this morning to do it all again. This is the way I can help with the campaign.” Nancy Hough, one of the

Grassroot Grannies, said the total raised will likely hit $65,000 when all is said and done. “We’ve had the same number of riders for the past seven years and we started with $30,000 the first year,” said Hough. “The support for the ride has grown so much.” Jack Dyment, the oldest rider this year at 78, had the pleasure of meeting some of the African

grandmothers the SLF supports. “It was an absolutely incredible experience,” said Dyment. “I am a big supporter of this cause.” The Grassroot Grannies thanked the Merrickville United Church ladies for lunch and ‘putting sunshine into their hearts’ before heading back out onto the road.

Merrickville-Wolford to hold public meeting on Energy East Pipeline Jennifer Westendorp

Smile time! It’s that time of year again! Both Tim Hortons locations in Kemptville are selling Smile Cookies until Sept. 18 to raise funds for the Kemptville Youth Centre. Get in to pick up yours today before they’re all gone! Pictured are Nancy Webb and Maryann Bell.

To support or not to support. That is the question. Merrickville-Wolford will hold a public meeting on Sept. 21 to kill three birds with one stone (metaphorically speaking). The meeting will be held at the Merrickville Community Centre at 7 p.m. “What I want to do is to hold a public meeting to do three things; introduce the new CAO, have a presentation about the Energy East Pipeline project and a presentation about the Canada Learning Bond,” said Mayor David Nash. On Sept. 6, a representative from TransCanada made a presentation to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, asking them to pass a resolution in support of the Energy East project, which is proposed to run through a section of North Grenville.

“I’ve asked the representative (Jon Pitcher) to come do a presentation here like the one he did for county council,” said Nash. The pipeline, if built, will transport 1.1 million barrels of bitumen (viscous mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals) from the west coast to east coast of Canada. “If it leaked here, the aquifer would be polluted,” said Nash. “It would go down into our groundwater. The canal is a national historic site and we run the risk of destroying that too.” “If that happens, you’re done,” he continued. “You’re not going to be able to clean that up.” The purpose of the Energy East presentation is to open a dialogue amongst MerrickvilleWolford residents. “See where the public stands and bring forth a petition to either support the resolution or not. My job is to represent the

people who live here. If the residents are opposed to this project, then I will take that back to the county. I won’t vote to endorse what the people don’t support,” Nash stated. The new CAO for Merrickville-Wolford, John Regan, will also be introduced at the public meeting. Nash plans to take the CAO around to community organizations, such as the Merrickville District Community Health Centre and the Merrickville and District Chamber of Commerce, to meet local leaders. “I also want to hear from each organization and ask for their feedback,” said Nash. “What they think the issues are.” The presentation about the Canada Learning Bond is for informational purposes. “I don’t think a lot of people know about it,” said Nash. “It’s a great resource for parents with children born after Dec. 31, 2003.”

· LOC A L F O O D C O R N E R · A Call To Action Did you know that there was a major world food crisis in 2008? According to a special United Nations report, it was created by a dramatic increase in the cost of food around the world. For example, over the span of one year from March 2007 to March 2008, the price of wheat rose 130% (rice went up 74%) mostly due to destructive climate-related events. There were protests and riots around the world over the price of food. Though the impact was not felt as strongly in Canada, food prices did go up and have not come back down eight years later. This special UN report suggested that a fundamental transformation would be necessary to lessen the impact of the climate-related catastrophes that contribute to these types of food-related crises. The report also stated how important it is for future food security to empower the poor and rural areas of the world to ensure that they are self-sufficient and not reliant on large scale industrial agriculture production from other distant areas of the globe. This is a clear call-to-action to all levels of government to encourage rural areas to start producing their own food through things like small scale agriculture. As well, creating facilities for processing what is grown

and providing places for people to buy what gets produced, would also be key investments. This would mean that local food organizations like farmers’ markets, food hubs and other local food initiatives can take on critical roles in rural communities and municipalities like ours. Though Merrickville’s farmers’ market is currently small, it could easily become a key contributor to the success of the downtown area. In North Grenville, a good first step would be to use the upcoming North Grenville Rural Summit happening on Saturday November 26th of this year as a forum to create a rural affairs/ local food committee. The committee could then bring local farmers, small scale producers and other interested stakeholders together to create a local food strategic plan. This could go a long way towards making the municipality more food self-sufficient and being able to use local food as a driver of economic development. Strategic planning could also help to decide priorities and where to invest financial resources in the form of grants and loans to maximize returns on investment. Local food could be an important component of the municipality of North Grenville’s attempt to buy Kemptville College from the Agriculture Institute of Ontario. Kemptville College

could be a critical link in the local food chain by providing both a commercial facility that would allow local producers to process what they produce and by providing other facilities like greenhouse space to encourage people to grow food year round. Local food represents a sustainable solution to several problems confronting the residents of North Grenville and Merrickville. We shouldn’t wait for a crisis to do the right thing.

High school students move into classrooms at South Branch to utilize space Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

It’s a win-win. Secondary students at North Grenville District High School (NGDHS) will be using two surplus classrooms at South Branch Elementary School this year. The two schools, both under the umbrella of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), are neighbours. The high school has three existing portable classrooms on the South Branch property and commandeering the classrooms has prevented the need for two more. “We’re utilizing the space,” explained Derek Cole, NGDHS secondary principal. “It’s a nice space – conducive to learning. Lots of natural light and climate controlled.” The two classrooms can both accommodate 30 students. There is a separate entrance to the two classrooms, off the back of South Branch. “It’s the same distance to these classrooms as the existing portables,” said Cole. A door will be put in place to separate the elementary hallway from the high school classrooms. “It will be installed as soon as possible,” said Cole. The new classrooms have

One of the two new high school classrooms now operating out of South Branch Elementary School in Kemptville. been outfitted with high school desks and teachers are settling in, with plans to customize the space. Lockers in the small section of hallway between the classrooms have also been assigned to high school students. “Any of the students who have come to us and said they’re not happy having their locker here, we’re working with them,” said Cole. Jill Pensa, South Branch principal, said there have been no complaints from elementary parents about the new arrangement. “It’s almost as though our building ends there,” she commented, referring to where the door will be installed.

“With the proximity, it’s just natural to utilize this resource,” said Matthew Robinson, NGDHS secondary vice-principal. The new high school, located on Concession Road in Kemptville, opened in 2012. When the Ontario Ministry of Education supplied funding for the new school, the money covered a facility for the student population at the time, with allowance for a slight bump in enrollment commonly seen with new schools. With 2,200 homes proposed to be built in the northwest quadrant of Kemptville alone, the student population of North Grenville is set to spike in the next two

decades. “They give you funding for the students you have at the time,” said David Coombs, UCDSB superintendent of schools. “They allow a little bit for the new school bump. That’s built in. The basic premise is they are not going to give you funds to build empty spaces.” He explained NGDHS had to re-purpose existing classrooms for students with special needs. “We have done a little bit better than projections (in terms of enrollment),” said Coombs. “North Grenville has a pretty good reputation.” The new high school was built with the ability to create an ad-

dition to accommodate growth. “It was designed to add on to if the pressure should continue,” Coombs explained. “We can go back to the ministry and present a case explaining a need for more funding. The ministry will also look around and say you have empty classrooms in your area and ask why you’re not utilizing that resource.” “Our top priority is student achievement and wellbeing across all four publicly-funded systems,” said Heather Irwin, ministry spokesperson. “We continue to provide our students with one of the best education systems in the world. That’s why since 2003, our government has increased funding for education to $22.9 bil-

lion – an increase of 59 per cent. Since 2003, our government has provided Upper Canada District School Board with over $205 million in capital funding.” “In 2016-17, UCDSB’s annual funding is projected to increase by $67.3 million to $323.2 million since 2003, or 26.3 per cent, while at the same time, enrolment has declined by 25.5 per cent. That’s $5,129 or 69.6 per cent more per student,” she continued. “Through the 2008 Capital Priorities program, based on 10year enrolment projections made by the school board, our government funded the UCDSB to build a 722 pupil places secondary school to replace an existing facility which was in poor condition.”

KPI launches kids drama program Improvisation and laughter will be served up on Sunday, Sept. 18! After the strong support at the June launch of the Kemptville Players Inc.’s Kids program (KPIK), the program is having another workshop this coming Sunday and the topic this month is stage presence, acting skills and improv. As there was strong interest from both older and younger kids, there will be two separate workshops on that date, one from 1:30 to 3 p.m. for grades seven and up and one from 3 to 4:30 p.m. for grades three to six. KPIK is pleased that Matt Barrow from Ottawa’s newly launched The Improv Embassy will come and share some of his talent at this workshop. Matt has previously worked with Elgin Street Improv, Crush Improv, Experimental Farm Theatre and participated in the Canadian

Local men raise $4,400 Two local men, Bill Kollaard and Robert Noseworthy (pictured), pledged to raise $3,000 for ‘The Ride’ for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital on Sept. 11 and in the end they raised just over $4,400 for the cause. Considering the thunderstorms the night before, both riders agreed that it was nice to not have to bike in the rain. However, Noseworthy commented they should use Bob Seeger’s song ‘Against the Wind’ as the theme song for ‘The Ride’ because of very strong headwinds that delayed all riders by at least one hour. This was Kollaard’s first year in the event and the third time for Noseworthy, who also commented that the course was much more difficult this year because of road closures due to construction that caused rerouting parts of the previous event route. In the end, both riders completed the event and felt good they exceeded their pledges to raise much needed funds for cancer research.

Improv Games. KPIK plans to offer ongoing monthly workshops so that youth can experience the excitement and fun of theatre. The program will initially consist of monthly Sunday afternoon workshops to teach youth about acting, stage presence, set design, sound and lights, theatre etiquette and all that goes into a dramatic production both on and off stage. The cost is only a one-time registration fee of $25 and $5 for each future workshop attended. The program will be run at the IOOF Hall, located at 119 Clothier Street in Kemptville. All are welcome - let us know if you are planning to come. If you have any questions or for more information, please email KemptvillePlayersKids@gmail.com. Submitted by Kemptville Players

NGDHS students lend a helping hand to Syrian refugees Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Every small act can mean the world to a family in need. Alena Abbott and Fae MacKay, both grade 10 students at North Grenville District High School, are doing their part to bring a Syrian refugee family to Merrickville. “My mom (Diana MacKay) is involved with the Merrickville Bridge to Canada (MBC) group and she was talking about it during dinner,” said MacKay. “I immediately wanted to help. One thing led to another and I began volunteering.” Her mom explained the biggest thing was spreading the word about MBC. “I told all my friends,” said MacKay. “Then I started selling raffle tickets with Alena in front of Wick Witch in Merrickville.” Merrickville Bridge to Canada recently embarked on its’ second fundraising raffle, for two day passes to the Nordik Spa in Quebec. “A lot of the people coming out of Wick Witch thought it was cool and bought tickets,” said MacKay. Right now, the students are only selling tickets in Merrickville, but the hope is to set up the

There’s not much I can do at my age.” When asked why youth should get involved in world affairs, MacKay responded simply; “we represent a big chunk of the population. There’s not much we can

SNC confirms healthy fishery It may be narrow, shallow and turbid over most of its 120-km course, but the South Nation River is a haven for anglers with a wide variety of finned species populating its waters. The waterway’s vibrant fishery is reconfirmed every summer when South Nation Conservation monitors and reports on activity within one of the six river reaches: Plantagenet, Lemieux, St. Albert, Berwick, Hyndman and Spencerville, extending from the headwaters North of Brockville to the Ottawa River near Plantagenet. Sampling is done with hoop nets. After 24 hours, the nets are retrieved and the number, weight, measurement and age of species caught are recorded. This summer, the St. Albert reach was sampled, with a total of 228 fish caught, logged and released. Results mirrored samples taken in 2011. Of the total, 81 were brown bullhead, yellow perch, northern pike, and walleye also filled the nets, along with several additional species. The largest fish caught was a 555 mm-long greater redhorse that weighed in a 1.92 kg; the smallest fish was a 25-gram pumpkinseed. “Our regular monitoring provides important data that helps establish long-term management decisions to ensure sustainability and health of the fishery,” said Ryan Robson, SNC resource technician. Annual hoop netting also provides a learning op-

Her goal is to raise awareness about MBC at her school and get more youth on board with the initiative. “I don’t think a lot people here know about it,” she said. “We’re going to change that.” For more information about MBC or to donate, visit www. merrickville-bridge.ca or the Merrickville Bridge to Canada Facebook page.

OPINION

Library love

y computer has emotional problems. Some days it won’t turn on. Other days it won’t let me connect to the Internet. Sometimes, I can only go to certain web pages, otherwise it will throw a tantrum. I never know what will happen when I try to use it. You could almost turn it into a betting game. What will Jenn’s computer do today? Five bucks it will load Microsoft Word and then shut down in a glorious display of ill humour. Technology and I do not get along. Never have and never will. Unfortunately, my computer – aside from my notebook, pencil and camera – is the most important journalistic tool I have. Without one, I can’t write stories or upload them to the Internet - kind of important when your job is to keep people informed in a timely manner. Last week, my computer went on an extended rampage of betrayal. It refused to let me go on the Internet. I couldn’t check my emails or upload stories. So I did the only logical thing I could think of; I went to the library. Not only is the North Grenville Public Library home to a significant collection of books, but it also has computers for the public to use. I was way behind schedule that day because of my computer issues and ran into the library to search for a free computer. They were all taken, as is typical of a highly utilized community resource. In desperation, I went up to the front

here is a man on Beach Road selling his goats. I have been stopping at his corner to watch the baby goats playing in the yard, butting heads, climbing up onto their shelter and jumping off. They are so frisky and intelligent. I have always wanted a goat. He has a big “Goats for Sale” sign on his fence now. I pulled over yesterday to get a closer look and the goats stopped playing to stare at me. I baahed at them and they responded, then went back to their head-butting game. Alas, I cannot have a goat. This is why. Back in the 1980s, a gang of very badly behaved goats ruined any chance of me ever owning one of their kind. At the time, the Farmer (who wasn’t a farmer then) was travelling the prairies visiting farmers on behalf of a credit union. On one especially hot day, he was travelling a long, country road, enjoying the breeze through the windows of his K-car. He arrived at a goat farmer’s house and went in for a chat. That particular farmer didn’t get visitors very often, and he loved to talk. So when my husband (who

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION desk and asked whether there were sneaking, hidden computers about I could commandeer. I thought I was out of luck at this point. And then the librarian looked at me and said, “Of course, we have laptops for people to use too.” Then she took one out and handed it to me, like an unwrapped Christmas gift with my name on it. I set up the laptop in the study room, turned it on and tried to connect to the Internet. It refused. Shocking. What an epic showdown between technology and myself. I brought the laptop back to the front desk and told the librarian about my dilemma, thinking she would say too bad, so sad. Instead, she took the laptop from me, set it up in the back room and spent 10 minutes figuring out the problem. Like magic, she did what I can’t ever do – made a computer cooperate. Finally, I could upload my stories and go on to the next event, for which I was (fashionably) late. I thanked the librarians one trillion times, but it hardly seemed like enough. They went above and beyond to help me (and The Kemptville Advance) and I am sure I am just one of thousands of examples.

Late summer blossoms

As summer begins to slip into fall the flowers are still pretending that the season goes on forever.

This is why we can’t have a goat The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

wasn’t my husband then) arrived, this gentleman put the kettle on and opened a new box of tea biscuits. My husband is never one to rush away from a conversation or a pot of tea. For the next two hours, the two men chatted about the weather, crop yields, finances, and women. In that order. This is how the goats spent the same two hours. Noticing the shiny new vehicle in the driveway, they decided to amble over and take a closer look. Goats – even Manitoba farm goats – fancy themselves mountain climbers, and will climb onto anything that they encounter. The first goat reached the roof of the car and did a little tap dance to proclaim himself King. The second goat assessed the situation. If he climbed up top and joined the larger goat on the roof of

the car he would likely be shoved off. Then he noticed the open windows. The Farmer had conveniently parked the car next to a pile of old wooden pallets, so the goats could step up and hoist themselves in. Within about 20 minutes, the K-car, a company issue, was occupied by four rather curious and snacky goats. Now, goats have iron stomachs and they have been known to eat leather shoes, hardcover books – even tin cans. They don’t have to be hungry. They just consider it their duty to taste everything. This is what they ate: the upholstery of both front car seats and a good portion of the rear bench; the Farmer’s briefcase handles and most of the papers within (he had left that conveniently open as well); the Farmer’s ham-and-cheese sandwich, apple, cookies and potato chips; the map of Manitoba; the novel he was reading; and the left of his pair of hiking boots. The goat was working on the right boot when the Farmer emerged from the house. His host laughed and said, “I hope you have goat insurance!” The story grows longer every time my

husband tells it, with embellishments and items added to the goat menu. The morale always remains the same: we will never own a goat. About four years ago, we were visiting friends and they told us another goat story that only added to my husband’s (then he really was my husband) dislike of goats. They had visitors with a shiny sportscar. While on the back porch enjoying a barbecue, the resident goats noticed the flashy car, came closer and caught a glimpse of two other goats in the reflection. A fight ensued and after about half an hour of head-butting the stubborn car-goats, the sportscar was covered in dents. That story told, my Farmer gave

me a look and said, “don’t ever ask me for a goat.” He knows me so well. So, if any of you are up for the challenge, starting a hobby farm or a goat cheese business and you need a couple of goats, I know where you can get some. I have been told we are sticking to beef cattle and turkeys.

He is predeceased by his wife Marian who brought much happiness to his life for more than 20 years. Together they enjoyed life on the Big Rideau and their many friends in Perth and Ottawa.

He was the President of the Big Rideau Lake Association while his young family was spending summers at the Lake.

We thank the Lord for giving us The strength to carry on. Forever in our hearts Aurea, Donna, Sierra and families

Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again. Love Mom, Dad, Natalee, Natasha (Denver) Nicole (Matt, Kailey, Karson, Jase, Jade)

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. Ten years have passed… 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

I met Audrey in April of 1999 when she accompanied a mutual friend Verna Hill to Bermuda and the two of them stayed at my home. Verna of Napanee ON, had befriended me during our days at Queen’s, so now Verna’s friend (Audrey) became my friend. Looking back now, I am very thankful and excited over the times Audrey and I spent together during my yearly trips to Kemptville. She made it a point of introducing me to as many people as possible, particularly the ones who played a part in her life. And so, my life has been enriched as I met so many lovely people! I also enjoyed Kemptville as I took my daily walks for exercise. Along the way, I would meet friendly people. Thank you Audrey. Thank you for all your lovely hospitality and for all your letters to me that were “events” as they arrived to me here in Bermuda. At this time, I would like to mention names of people I met through Audrey:

North Grenville discusses zoning amendments and BR+E funding Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

The following is a list of briefs from the North Grenville committee of the whole meeting held on Sept. 6. General business for parks and recreation “The parks and recreation department just has some general notes to bring forward tonight,” said Mark Guy, director of parks, recreation and culture. “The arena one is being installed as we speak and will be ready this Friday for the Kemptville 73’s home opener.” He explained the municipal summer camp and pool programs have both ended and were successful. “Just an update for council on some of our capital projects,” said Guy. “The rail trail crossing gates and signage were started last week and should be completed this week.” He explained the tender specs are being prepared for the armoury work, which is scheduled to begin this fall. “We’ll have that tender out sometime over the next week or so,” said Guy. “The waterfront trail tender is in the process of being developed. You should see some work being done there this fall.” He explained the draft report following the consultation process to determine the fate of the Kemptville courthouse and the old town hall in Oxford Mills has been received. “We shooting for a final report to be brought forward to committee of the whole on Oct. 3.”

information we can ascertain from our municipal system, the property line runs right through the manse. So we recommended the applicants consult with their lawyer, consult with their lawyer – just to determine where the property line actually is.” As a result, a concurrent application was made for an add-on severance, so a small portion of the church property, located at 319 Prescott Street, would be allocated to the manse property, so clear title could be conveyed and sold. “As a result, the zoning on that property needs to be amended from industrial to residential,” said Mosher. The amendment was recommended to council.

Zoning amendment for 1505 County Road 20 endorsed “This application, although rural, is very similar to the previous application,” said Mosher. “Some time ago, the owners of this property came forward to staff to discuss severing the residential dwelling from the rural lands located behind it.” The lands, located in East Oxford, encompass a 25-acre parcel. “There is licensed pit, somewhat north to the subject lands,” said Mosher. “There is a variety of designations; hamlet, rural and mineral aggregate.” Essentially, the applicants are proposing to sever a small portion of the property – 1.5 acres with a house on it – from the rural lands. The applicant’s lawyer, Paul Jansen, explained the house is too big for the owners, who hope to sell it down the road. “They would like to have the opportunity to move from that home when the time is right,” said Jansen. “And have that home passed on to a new owner, on a smaller footprint, so it doesn’t use up Zoning amendment for St. Paul’s the farming land.” The amendment was recommended to council. Presbyterian property recommended “The zoning amendment that is before Skid steer loader tender discussed the committee tonight is really a technical “The public works department brings you the amendment,” said Phil Mosher, planner. “Some time ago, I met with representatives from the tender, in accordance with the procurement policy, Presbyterian Church and there was a desire to and as approved under the 2016 budget allotment,” purchase the manse property; to own that in said Karen Dunlop, director of public works. freehold, separate from the church itself.

is recommending award to the lowest qualified tender, which is J. R. Brisson Equipment Ltd. The reason for this tender is the replacement of the Bobcat at the transfer station.” The total amount of the tender is $71,988, including taxes. The tender was recommended to council. Construction contract tender recommended “Again, in accordance with the procurement policy and an allotment approved in the budget, what you see before you is the result of the tender for the installation of the water main down County Road 19 and along 24,” said Dunlop. “This is part of our master plan for infrastructure and would not only permit new growth and development, but also a benefit to existing users for the increase of fire flow.” Five packages were received, with quite a range in dollars, according to Dunlop. “The budget allotment, that was originally approved, was for $4,515,000, which is to cover off not only the construction, but also the design and contract administration,” said Dunlop. The department recommended the tender from Cruickshank Construction, totaling $859,749, “as the lowest qualified tender.” The tender was recommended to council.

to better serve council and the North Grenville community.” The proposed amendments include the committee meeting every two months, rather than quarterly. “The meetings will include separate reports from each member and/or separate teams,” said Gilmer. The amendments were recommended to council.

BR+E funding agreement “The Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) program, delivered through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), uses trained volunteers to visit businesses and conduct interview with them,” said Gilmer. “To address issues of opportunities. The municipality conducted a very successful BR+E program back in 2010. The success of the BR+E program helped lay the groundwork for the economic development program here.” During the 2016 economic development budget deliberations, the committee felt the BR+E project needed to be updated. “In order to address the changing needs of businesses,” said Gilmer. The municipality applied for both Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) funding and Rural Economic Development (RED) funding. Terms of reference amendments for The total cost of the project is $44,845, with the committee municipality picking up $5,607 of the tab. “On April 29, 2016, the Economic Development The agreement was recommended to council. Advisory Committee met to discuss and review the current terms of reference and establish a Closed session draft action plan, specific to the future work of A closed session of committee of the whole was the committee,” said Matt Gilmer, economic held prior to the regular committee of the whole development co-ordinator. “They believed this meeting, “to consider a proposed acquisition was a great time to discuss the current structure of of land by the municipality, more specifically the committee. The committee strongly believes the Kemptville College,” said Carre. “And the that the proposed amendments will enable them province’s current valuation of the property.”

Gardener’s Corner

Embrace the Dark side

I was late tucking up the chickens the other night. Time just got away from me and the days are getting shorter. Time to adjust the daily routine. I needed a flashlight to check noses and fill the feed and water bowls. On the way back from the coop, I looked up. A perfectly clear night with little moonlight and the absence of light pollution the country affords. I stood there for the longest time looking for constellations and planets I could identify. The Milky Way was a gossamer cloud spanning the sky. The galaxy we call home. The sheer number of stars was overwhelming. I had the mixed feelings of awe and insignificance at the same time. It got me thinking about the value of darkness. There are a lot of people that are afraid of the dark and I get that. Things you can’t see, strange noises and the nocturnal ne’er-do-wells of every species including our own. But we all need the darkness, a time of rest and rejuvenation. There are however many plants that peak after the sun has set and strangely enough, most of them are extremely fragrant. You have to wonder why? Why else but to attract the night time pollinators, moths. Years ago we planted Matthiola (night scented stalks) by the front porch. We would sit out as the sun was setting bathed in the sweet slightly vanilla fragrance. Combined with the mild spicy scent of the Nicotiana in our containers, it was an olfactory experience. There are others. Moonflower

(Ipomoea Alba), Evening primrose, and Four O’clocks or Marvel of Peru. There are others that need darkness and a time of rest. Not to flower but to rejuvenate. Around the turn of the century almost every home had a root cellar. Potatoes stored in a cool dark place will last most of the winter. Bulbs and tubers that have been dried and stored in similar conditions will be ready for planting next spring. My friend Donald is the doyen of Dahlias. And seeds need their time in the cool and dark of winter. It’s called stratification. We harvest seeds from our favourite varieties and store them in labelled envelopes in the fridge. I’m convinced the light goes out when we close the door. Opening the envelopes in the spring is like a second Christmas. Most gardeners study the plant tags and only focus on the light requirements. Full sun, part sun or shade. Darkness never enters the equation. Every species on the planet needs a time of rest. For most, that is a time of darkness. Every now and then we look up and marvel at the expanse of our existence. When we climb the stairs at night and turn off the lights there is quiet and darkness. We need that. Some nights more then others. Plants need that too. Enjoy the summer sun but embrace the dark side. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Ferguson Forest Dog Park coming to North Grenville When residents of our growing community were asked what they would like to see in the Ferguson Forest Education and Activity Centre, a large number of you requested an off leash dog park. Although this request could not be accommodated in the centre, an initiative was put in place by the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation (FFCC) to establish a dog park in another section of the forest. At their March 29 meeting, the FFCC board approved, in principle, the establishment of a fenced dog park on a five-acre parcel of land, leased from the municipality. Final approval was dependant on gaining municipal approval. Carl Doucette, vice-president of FFCC, had a number of meetings with municipal officials resulting in a briefing to North Grenville committee of the whole on May 16.

On June 20, committee of the whole recommended to council that they approve the establishment of an unleashed dog park in Ferguson Forest. With approval by council, the FFCC board of directors, at their July 5 meeting, approved the leasing of Compartment 49 to an incorporated organization who would lead this initiative. The caveat for both the municipality and FFCC was that funding would not be provided by either organization. Since early July, a “tiger team” of stanch supporters have been busy putting together the documentation for the establishment of a corporation entitled North Grenville Dog Parks Inc., which will be incorporated under the province of Ontario and be the governing body for the Ferguson Forest Dog Park. This team will become

the board of directors of the newlyformed corporation. The goal of North Grenville Dog Park Inc. is to have the park operational, at the latest, by the fall of 2017 and to ensure its sustainment. There are many hurdles to jump to meet this date. I spoke about the need to incorporate, which is underway. We will be in discussion shortly with FFCC to put a lease in place for Compartment 49. We need members to join the corporation to provide the resources for the four different committees which have been established: governance, membership, fundraising and infrastructure. These members could also be appointed to the Board to fill vacant positions or to provide specific expertise. Membership application forms will be available at local business in the area.

Another huge hurdle is fundraising. Since the corporation must provide its own funding, the opening date will be very much dependent on raising the money for the various expenses; fencing, seed for ground cover, forest clearing, composting, signage, insurance etc. The corporation will be seeking sponsorship and support from corporations and local businesses. Advertisement opportunities will also be available. Thanks to the generosity of Frank Hoffman, a major event in support of the dog park will be taking place on Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Canadian Tire store in Kemptville from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will encompass both fund raising and an information session and will include a barbecue and a car wash. There will be an information kiosk in the Canadian Tire foyer where questions will be answered and

corporation membership applications will be available. The money raised at this event will go towards the costs of incorporation, insurance and fall seeding of the park. Volunteers are needed to support this event. Please contact Carl Doucette (carl@ffccboard.ca) should you wish to volunteer. The board of directors of North Grenville Dog Park Inc. is committed to providing a first class unleashed dog park for the residents of North Grenville.

Smiths Falls decked out in red and white for Team Henderson celebration Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Friday, Sept. 9 was a day of celebration in Centennial Park as Team Henderson – Dave, Darlene, Brittany and Brooke – were given a warm (very warm!) welcome as they made their way through the sea of red and white. In recognition for all their accomplishments on the links this year, Brooke’s break-out year on the LPGA tour, the Henderson sisters were honoured with speeches, a flag presentation and a plaque unveiling that will find a permanent home in beside town hall. The afternoon was a chance for their hometown to celebrate Team Henderson and all they have accomplished. “It’s been good for the future, I’ve really learned a lot,” she said about her first year on the tour. With her sister Brittany by her side, the girls had a great time with the crowds today. When asked if they ever disagreed on a club choice, Brooke responded: “Not really. She gives me a number and I decide which club. We have a really good system working. There is always going to be a little sibling rivalry, I guess but we’re best friends and we get along really well.” Do they ever have any spats? “Not really, no. I think we may be the unusual sisters,” she said with a laugh. “There’s going to be some disagreements at some point but we work through them really well.” Coming home to the big welcome today “is so special,” Brooke said. “I just glanced over there, and seeing the amount of people there already… it’s really cool for both of us.” On her super jam-packed LPGA season, Brooke said it was “definitely busy” but they enjoyed the travelling and “seeing a ton of new places.” “I had a chance to see tournaments (and golf courses) for the first time so next year maybe I can choose the courses that I play well on… as for right now, I’ve been enjoying playing every week and plan to go over to Asia for five weeks, then go to Mexico.” Saturday night, she and Brittany were off to France to hit the Evian Championship, where she celebrated her 18th birthday last year “with cake on the 18th hole.” When asked about how she’s keeping her life balanced, she said it was one of the biggest adjustments she’s made so far, but it sure was nice to sleep in her own bed this week. It was just her fourth time home this year. “It’s a huge balance and that’s something I really learned about this year is time management, and still focus on what’s important,” she said. “At the end of the day, if I don’t golf well then nothing else matters. I’m still trying to give my fans, and my sponsors as much attention as I

can and still try to focus on my game and move that world ranking up from number three a little bit closer to the top.” The girls were able to gather away from the throngs of people, with their family before the start of the celebration on stage. At the “VIP tent” the Henderson sisters, along with father Dave and mother Darlene, gave away some Ping golf hats to the young fans and family members. From there, the girls were police escorted through a sectioned off lane way and were ushered to the stage. See Team page K17

Brooke wraps herself in the Canada flag presented to her by Mayor Shawn Pankow Friday during the Team Henderson celebration in Centennial Park on Friday, Sept. 9. The flag was signed by the community and sent to Rio with congratulatory well wishes, but unfortunately didn’t get to Brooke and Brittany. Pankow said it never made it through customs and was sent back to Smiths Falls last week.

Team Henderson enjoys well deserved appreciation from Smiths Falls CONTINUED

From page K16

Messages of congratulations from Conservative MPP Randy Hillier – who said he had a hard time finding a red tie in his blue wardrobe – and from Mayor Shawn Pankow, who presented the girls with the Canadian flag on which hundreds of residents signed messages of well wishes to be sent to the Olympic Games in Rio last month. “Unfortunately, the flag got hung up at customs in Rio and never made it,” Pankow said as he unraveled the flag, which made its way back home just last week. Grinning from ear to ear, Brooke unraveled it and wrapped it around her shoulders, while the young crowd gathered at the front of the staged chanted ‘MVP’. “You’re our Olympian,” the mayor said to a huge ovation. The town also unveiled a special plaque that will be erected in the Market Street area, depicting a photo of the girls with their major LPGA

accomplishments. It will be added to as the need arises, the mayor said. Longtime friend, Hugh Colton was asked to say a few words, which he did – from the heart. He thanked those who came to celebrate the success of the girls and provided a little family history. “This town has produced a tremendous amount of athletes that have gone on to bigger and better things, including our friends Brooke and Brittany Henderson,” Colton said. “When I think of Brooke and Brittany, when we say Team Henderson, it is Team Henderson. The love and passion that these two have for each other is why they are very, very successful today.” Colton said when he thinks about this family, it goes back for him a lot of years. “I spent a lot of time playing golf with David – one of the greatest young junior putters.” A young pro at the time, Tom McPhee, used to take the juniors out on a Friday night

to about 70 yards from the pin and it was “pitch and putt for a hot dog and a Coke,” Colton said he could never beat “Bummer”, a nickname for the Dave Henderson. “He was always that good. Later on in life he was known to hit the golf ball a long way with extended shafted drivers and we see Brooke playing with nowadays, but those are the kinds of memories I remember.” The girls’ uncle Tom Henderson – “one of the greatest golfers I ever played with” is an 11-time Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club champion, is a two-time city and district champion, played in the Ontario Amateur, the Quebec Amateur, and the Canadian Amateur, playing alongside Mike Weir, when he was an amateur, and he taught me a whole lot about the game of golf.” Colton said when he talks about this particular golf story, there is a long history of great golfers in the Henderson family, that started with the girls’ great grandparents – Ivan and

Rita Arnold – founding members of the golf club. “Ivan was one of those guys who said these juniors deserved to play the golf course. He was one of those members who made sure we had an opportunity to get out there and play,” Colton said. Clem Henderson, the girls’ grandfather, was also a big sportsman. He was an all star quarterback and represented Lanark County as a top pole vaulter. The family – and that’s the extended family – “has rallied, and not just around these two girls we are talking about today but they have rallied together for a lifetime… to always have each other’s backs, and to make sure that if somebody was down, we’ll pick you up, to make sure if anybody needed anything there was always a helping hand.” Colton said when Brooke and Brittany were hitting buckets of ball at Lombardy, “the blond hair was flying” on Highway 15. I think about Brittany, and Brooke standing beside her

about age four or five, with cutdown golf clubs and she looked up at me and said, “Hooie… Hooie, you have any golf magazines for me?’” So he saved his golf magazines for Brooke, “and she read them!” Colton said passion and willingness to win, and dedication, are why these girls are where they are today. “That’s why everything is happening the way it’s supposed to happen,” he said. “This family has a committed bond to passion, desire and love, and that is huge.” Colton thanked the girls, and their parents, for giving the Town of Smiths Falls, “a tremendous amount of hope” where sometimes, it’s been good, and sometimes it’s been bad. “We all care for this community very, very much,” he said. “Everybody really knows in this community, and around the world that there is an ‘s’ on the end of Smiths in Smiths Falls.” He said the girls “have be-

lieved in this dream since day one,” he added. “We are proud to say we are from Smiths Falls. Because of you, and what you have done, it’s huge. It’s something called hope. We have seen it with these two girls. Remember, it’s Team Henderson.” Through hard work and dedication, there is hope, Colton added. “This is proof that dreams do come true.” Brooke and Brittany took to the microphone to thank those in attendance for coming out to celebrate with them. She asked if anyone knew what the Greek Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” meant. One boy knew and he was awarded a Ping visor for his answer. (The sisters also gave autographed Ping visors to a representative from each school in attendance. Ping is one of their many sponsors.) The motto is Latin for “faster, higher, stronger,” and Brooke encouraged everyone to dream big and shoot for their goals, no matter what or how big they are.

73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick off season with 4-1 record Brian Wilson

On Friday, Sept. 9, the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home opener featured the visiting Pembroke Lumber Kings. Fresh off a three game sweep in the season opening showcase, Kemptville still had the winning feeling. At 5:26 of the opening frame, Jack A York notched his second of the year with the assists going to Joe McGrath and Nick Bissonette. The 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubled the shots on the Kings 18-9 in the period. On the opening face-off of the second period, Adam Alavi gained control of the puck and carried it into the offensive zone. He dumped it off to Matt Tugnutt who dropped the puck back to the point where Quinn Wichers fired a bullet to put Kemptville up 2-0. Pembroke drew closer as they were able capitalize on a power play to make it 2-1. Shortly after that, a defensive turnover ended up behind the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie, Nick Hodgins. With the game tied 2-2, the third period would prove interesting. Early in the third, Tyson Kirkby intercepted a Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass in his own end and carried it the length of the ice, skating past three defenders, cutting to the net and sliding it by the sprawling Pembroke goalie for the go ahead goal. Playing catch up, the Kings threw everything they had at the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but were unable to get the equalizer. Victor Tracy recovered the puck during the onslaught and passed it to Tugnutt, who buried it into the open net to end Pembrokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest to tie the game. Kemptville won their fourth in a row by a score of 4-2. The 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fired 48 shots at the Kings net. Tyson Kirkby was the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first star while Adam Alavi was selected as the third star. Saturday, Sept. 10, the team travelled to the

Jim Durell Complex to battle the Ottawa Junior Senators. This was going to be a test. After last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff loss, not only were the Senators number one on the hit list, it was also an afternoon game following a night game. A little over two minutes into the game the Senators scored to take a 1-0 lead which held up for the entire period. Again, a little over two minutes into the second, Ottawa scored another to make it 2-0. At 12:06, Jake Gaudet scored his fourth of the young season to make it a 2-1 game. The goal was unassisted. The third period saw some frustration set in for the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and halfway through they were called for back to back minor penalties. Ottawa took advantage of the two man deficit and added a third goal to their total. With less than a minute left, the Senators scored an empty net goal for a 4-1 victory handing Kemptville their first defeat of the year. Jake Gaudet was named the third star of the game. The game seemed to be a bump in the road for the new season. The complete game style of play witnessed in the first four games was visibly lacking. The game featured a breakdown of previously established systems, however, it is only the fifth game of a long season. There is more work to do yet. This weekend, on Friday, Sept. 16, the Cornwall Colts visit North Grenville for a 7:30 game. At this time, the Colts are the only undefeated team in the CCHL. On Sunday, September 18, Kemptville will face the Gloucester Rangers at the Earl Armstrong Arena. The game is a 3:30 start. Feel the heat! Catch 73s fever!

Festival of Small Halls announces community events, line-up additions At its core, the Ontario Festival of Small Halls is about celebrating community. The Festival of Small Halls is getting hands clapping and toes tapping this month as it welcomes an inspiring combination of big names in music and local opening acts to treasured small halls across eastern Ontario from Sept. 14 to Oct. 2. The festival expanded to include 24 rural locales this year, paying tribute to cherished small town spaces with history and heart. National and international musicians including Breabach, Basia Bulat, Jim Bryson, Elliott BROOD, Hat Fitz and Cara, Tomato Tomato, April Verch, Harrow Fair, the Devin Cuddy Band and more are ready to share small stages with opening acts which are local to each community. This month, the Festival of Small Halls is announcing community events surrounding several of the small halls shows. The festival encourages local hall boards, volunteers and organizations to team up and expand on the concert in an effort to further build community. From markets and dinners to community walks and a fine art and craft exhibition, the host halls are throwing open their doors to make the 2016 performances of the Festival of Small Halls even more memorable. “Building community is such an important component for the Festival of Small Halls,” said Kelly Symes, manager of the Ontario Festival of Small Halls. “The festival takes place in cherished local halls that residents and visitors hold near to their hearts – it’s only fitting that the exciting festival performances are augmented with traditional community events to further showcase these special spaces.”

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is set for Sept. 14 to Oct. 2 at 24 rural locales from across eastern Ontario. Recently, some acts were added to the line-up, including The Abrams, above, who will be performing with Darlingside and Miss Emily at the Seeley’s Bay Community Hall on Sept. 16. Above right, bluegrass duo Tomato Tomato are set to play the Red Brick School in Elgin Sept. 25 with Alex and Sean Price. Right, Sheesham and Lotus & ‘Son will headline The Ivy on William in Smiths Falls Sept. 29. The festival shows in Delta, McDonald’s Corners, Lyndhurst, Spencerville, Chaffey’s Lock, Winchester, Beckwith and Morton have events in the works. More can be found about the events at www.thefestivalofsmallhalls.com/ schedule/community-suppers/ – be aware that some require RSVPs with deadlines fast approaching! Community dinners are planned in Chaffey’s Lock at The Opinicon for festival ticket holders before the April Verch shows. Additionally, dinners are being held in Beckwith at Stonefields Heritage Farm; Delta at the Old Town Hall with a buffet dinner before the concert; Lyndhurst at St. Luke’s An-

glican Church Hall before the show at the legion; Winchester at St. Paul Presbyterian Church with a turkey dinner before the show, and at the McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Hall with a scrumptious menu planned preceding its show. Furthermore, The Spencerville Mill is partnering with Zolas Restaurant for tapas before the show, while the matinee concert at the Morton Community Hall is accented by a community event at Wendy’s Country Market just down the road. Burritt’s Rapids is planning a whole day of fun to close out the Festival of Small Halls, including outdoor fun for

the family, an architectural walk with the Village Doyennes, a Ceilidh after the show, food vendors, door prizes and even a fine art and craft exhibition and sale surrounding the matinee performance on Oct. 2. Aside from community events, the Festival of Small Halls also recently announced a few surprise additions to the musical line up. The Abrams will be performing with Darlingside and Miss Emily at the Seeley’s Bay Community Hall on Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. As fourthgeneration musicians, The Abrams bring a brilliant vision to their music, which melds their musical roots with an attitude more in tune with the present.

More inspiration is coming from recently-confirmed Change of Step who will be performing three shows with Breabach at the Maberly Community Hall, in Maxville at St. James Catholic Church and at Stonefields in Beckwith. This dynamic dance company performs original choreography that is rooted in Scottish tradition, yet shaped by modern influences. Find out more about the festival’s community events at www.thefestivalofsmallhalls.com and be sure to connect with the festival on social media for updates as the shows approach. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 613-791-3476.

The power of family takes you Over The River And Through The Woods At this show, it won’t just be the Studio Theatre’s cushy new seats that make you feel good all over... Joe DiPietro’s family comedy Over The River And Through The Woods, premiering Sept. 22 at the Studio Theatre, is the warmest, funniest show you’ll see this fall, with great lines, great love, and plenty of home-cooked wit and wisdom. Nick is a young man on his way up, with a terrific new job waiting for him in Seattle. But Nick’s very Italian grandparents, two generations removed, couldn’t care less

about his rise up the career ladder – they just want him to stay put in New Jersey. After all, nothing is more important than family, and Nick’s parents have already betrayed the clan by moving away to, of all places, Fort Lauderdale. So how do you make a young man change his mind and decide to stay home? A young woman, of course. What follows is a funny, fastpaced comedy that everyone will enjoy. “I can’t remember the last time I was so excited about a script and a cast,” says director Patricia Parry. “Right

from day one I knew we had something special. And what makes it even better is that so many of my actors will be new to Perth audiences.” Smiths Falls actors Rob Glas, David Wright, and Jenifer Jasiak are thrilled to be appearing on the Studio Theatre’s stage for the first time – and Sheila Jasiak for just the second time – along with local favourite Norma Cummings, and newcomer Connor Williamson as Nick. “It’s about family, faith, food, and learning to let go. You’ll leave the theatre with a smile on your face, guar-

anteed,” says Parry. You can hear Parry talking more about her play on LAKE 88 radio at 4:25 p.m., Monday, Sept. 19. Over The River And Through The Woods premieres at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 22, with performances Sept. 22, 23, 24, 30 and Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m., and 2 p.m. matinees on Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. Tickets are $22 (cash only) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E, and $22 plus convenience fee at Shad-

owfax, 67 Foster St., (613267-6817; shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (485-6434; ticketsplease.ca) both of which accept in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 at the door for students with ID. Attend opening night and save $5! Remember that season passes for the Studio Theatre’s 2016/2017 season of

outstanding live theatre will be on sale until the end of September at the Studio Theatre box office on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon, and at Shadowfax. Don’t miss Over The River And Through The Woods, the grandmother of all comedies, when it opens Sept. 22 at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore St. E., adjacent to the Crystal Palace. It’ll be the ideal way to warm up your autumn. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

Comedic mystery opens at Smiths Falls’ Station Theatre in October Nothing attracts a good cast like a smart script and an intriguing plot. That’s exactly what director Katharine Coleman found when she put out the audition call for Fred Carmichael’s delightful comedic mystery, Out of Sight...Out of Murder, now headed for production at the Station Theatre from Oct. 14 to 23. The play’s highly imaginative premise offers great character roles galore. As the scene opens, Peter Knight (played by Jamie Benda) is grinding out a murder story in an old mansion where another author was murdered years before. A weird electrical storm effects a cosmic snafu and his characters come to life. There’s the lovely ingenue, the trusty butler, a feisty character woman, a dauntless hero, a fascinating “other woman,” the always pregnant serving girl, and the wily lawyer waiting for midnight to read the will. Stock characters from murder mysteries of yesteryear to be sure, but presented here in a witty, compelling style that is sure to please audiences. Before long, author Peter loses control of his characters and there is a murder; the intended victim is Peter. Other murders follow and the culprit is among characters who, having also worked for other authors, know a great deal about the subject. Can Peter find the killer before the killer gets his author? Is romance with the ingenue leading anywhere? Where is the fortune mentioned in the will? In the end, all is solved ingeniously with romance, suspense and cosmic wit. In the leading role of Peter Knight is Jamie Benda, last seen in at the Station Theatre in Cactus Flower as smarmy Harvey Greenfield. Christine Winter, whom audiences will remember as the scene stealer, Vera, in Nana’s Naughty Knickers, aces the part of Minna, a rough and ready farm woman who takes care of Peter’s rented mansion. Katharine Coleman, who also directs the play – and last seen in Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak – takes on the role of sophisticated, stylishly-dressed Lydia, a woman combining occasionally caustic comment with a good sense of humour. Then there is the butler, Cogburn, played by Rich Croteau, most recently seen on the Smiths Falls stage in Jekyll and Hyde. Rebecca Blue, returns after a decade plus break from the theatre in the role of Kay Kelsey, a sweet, trusting young woman – in other words your prototypical ingenue! Every murder mystery needs a character lady and Joni Thornley, type cast from her role in Love From a Stranger, plays the middleaged know-it-all, Fiona Babcock, to a “tea.” Rounding out the cast are: Jessica Weedmark, making her debut with our theatre, after performing in high school shows, in the role of

The cast of Out of Sight...Out of Murder, a comedic mystery written by Fred Carmichael and directed by Katharine Coleman, in rehearsal for the next play at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. It runs from Oct. 14 to 23. Submitted photo

Addie the maid; Nathan Matthews does a 180 from his last part in Bridge to Terabithia in the role of Dick Stanton, the excessively hearty “juvenile;” and Dave Snider, the always entertaining character actor, last seen here in the smash comedy, Leading Ladies, plays the part of the well-groomed, successful-looking Jordan Dillingham, the lawyer with the will. Coleman has said how pleased she is with the way her cast has already embraced the personalities of their respective roles. “Each of the ‘stock characters’ in the story are almost caricatures, except that they each believe themselves to be ‘real’ and so the seriousness with how they take themselves is humour in itself,” she said. “We have a strong cast and it’s very enjoyable to watch it coming together. Laughs are already coming out at rehearsals.” Out of Sight...Out of Murder is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. and runs from Thursday, Oct. 14 to Sunday, Oct. 23. Evening performances are at 7:30 p.m.; matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets: Adults $20, children/students $10.

Expect incredible sweetness and flavour from this year’s Ontario apple crop A hot and dry Ontario summer with plenty of sunshine is translating into an extremely sweet and flavourful apple crop this year. It’s sunshine that changes starch levels in the apple into sugar, so this year’s apple crop is expected to be one for the record books when it comes to sweetness, according to the chair of the Ontario Apple Growers. “I’ve been growing apples in Ontario for 40 years and these are the sweetest apples we’ve ever had,” says Charles Stevens, who farms near Newcastle, Ontario. “If ever there has been a year for Ontarians to enjoy the great taste of Ontario apples, this is it.” Unlike several recent years, apple growers were not hit with any frost damage this year, which impacts fruit size and shape, and there also haven’t been any significant hail events to affect the crop. Perfect pollination conditions in the spring followed by plenty of

The hot and dry summer across the province has produced a sweet and flavourful apple crop this year. Sunshine changes starch level in the apple into sugar, according to the Ontario Apple Growers. Submitted photo

warm temperatures got the apples off to a good start, and although drought conditions in some parts of the province’s growing regions will result in some smaller sized apples, the overall crop is looking promising with volumes at normal levels. “The size of the apples will depend on the location of the orchard and whether or not growers received rain or were able to use irrigation,” explains Stevens. “Some very timely rains in August in most areas of the province have made all the difference for the crop this year.” Consumers are encouraged to

look for the Foodland Ontario symbol when buying local apples, which will be widely available in the fall and throughout the winter months. There are approximately 15 different varieties of apples grown on 15,000 acres in Ontario. The province’s major apple-producing areas are along the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. The farm gate value of the Ontario apple crop is approximately $60 million, which includes sales to fresh and processing markets as well as on-farm/pickyour-own. The Ontario Apple Growers represents the province’s 200 commercial apple farmers.
