Municipality says no to solar panels roof; • Holding 500 kilowatts using both sides of the roof • Renting the roof for $14,000 per year; and, • 470,000 kwh savings per year to the municipality. Solar assets would become the property of the municipality after 20 years. The panels would not be attached to the roof itself but mounted on special aluminum racks. Mark Guy, director of parks, recreation and culture, conducted an analysis of the benefits and risks involved with the proposal, which he presented Sept. 8. “There are many factors to consider when assessing the installation of solar panels onto

Staff have recommended to council not to proceed with the proposal to install solar panels on the North Grenville Municipal Centre arena roof. SunSmart Solar, a company located in Kemptville, made a presentation at the Aug. 24 committee of the whole meeting, requesting the municipality consider leasing the arena roof for 20 years for the installation of solar panels as part of the Provincial Feed-In Tariff Program (FIT). The proposal outlined the following lease agreement: • 20-year rental term to use the north and south side of the arena

the NGMC roof,” the document read, “as part of the FIT program, including the insurance and risk tolerance, safety of fire personnel, approval from the building owner, installation and maintenance, terms of the proposal under the FIT program and the procurement process.” Guy explained the first thing staff considered was insurance and risk tolerance. He said SunSmart indicated that they carry commercial liability insurance coverage in the amount of $5 million, which was submitted to the municipality’s risk manager, Frank Cowan Company, who expressed concerns about liability exposures and more particularly the tenant’s legal liability and the general liability coverage. He explained the NGMC is valued at over $24 million, and Cowan’s Risk Manager advised SunSmart would be required to carry a general liability limit of $25 million. Guy also added the municipality’s insurance premium would increase as a result of the installation. He said the second thing staff considered when looking over the proposal was the safety of fire personnel, such as the ability to shut down the electricity in the event of a fire in a building equipped with a solar panel system that generates electricity.

Sixth annual MarketPlates showcases local flavours The sixth annual MarketPlates event at the Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market on Sunday, Sept. 13, attracted food lovers of all ages. Adverse weather didn’t deter taste enthusiasts, who went from tasting station to tasting station, despite the threat of rain. A number of local chefs and farmers prepared dishes for people to try, showcasing their own skills, while providing people a sample of local flavours. Shirley Lotz, of Nana B’s Bakery in Merrickville, serves Madi French a baguette with pork, Herbes de Provence and Waldorf salad. For more photos, see K15.

Lanark County, Leeds & Grenville United Way annual campaigns get underway tinued Hillier. “To reach that goal of helping one in three in our combined counties, we need everyone to reach out to us at our United Way ofﬁce by calling 613-342-8889 or going to our website at www.uwlg.org to donate.” On the morning of Sept. 28, the United Way Lanark County campaign kicks off with a ﬂag raising ceremony at the County of Lanark in Perth. “This has become a tradition in Lanark County,” noted executive director Fraser Scantlebury of the United Way Lanark County, “and not only does it celebrate the start of the campaign, it also acknowledges the employees of the county, who are such strong supporters of the work we and our partners do for those in need. This year our goal is to raise enough funds to invest in the lives of 8,500 people within the county, who need our assistance.” Like all United Ways, the idea of giving where you live is very important. “This is especially true for those who work at companies or organizations where there are workplace campaigns,” continued Scantlebury. “We have many folks who work in Ottawa or even other counties, and we encourage all donors in all three counties to give to the United Way where they live. Often the people we help are people our donors may even know. It is also important for people

to ask if there can be a workplace campaign where they work. That is the easiest way to donate to your United Way. For just a $1 a day, you can be a real hero to those in need within your community.” In Lanark County, those who want to donate should contact the ofﬁce at 613-253-9074 or go the United Way Lanark County website at www.lanarkunitedway.com. “Somewhere in Leeds & Grenville, there is a young person who is being bullied, or a senior who is lonely, that needs your support,” says Hillier, “and your donation allows us to offer that helping hand.” Scantlebury picked up on that theme of helping, “The new United Way theme is Together, we are possibility, and we know that our community members will dig deep, and donate to help those in need, so that together we may ensure our youth, our seniors, and those who are struggling, receive that helping hand they so desperately need.” For further information, please contact your local United Way in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville – and remember that every dollar donated in your county stays in your county!

September marks the start of your local United Way annual campaigns across Canada – and especially in the counties of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville. With a focus on raising funds to help local partners and initiatives meet the real needs of their communities, the campaigns are all ab out changing lives. This requires an active partnership between donors, your local United Way, and those in need. When we all work as one, then Together, we are possibility – the new theme for the United Way across Canada – the possibility of a better life for everyone in our communities. The two organizations – United Way Lanark, United Way Leeds & Grenville – invest with local partners to work in three focus areas – All that kids can be; from poverty to possibility; and healthy people, strong communities. “While we work together and across Canada to bring attention to these important areas, we work directly with local partners to change lives,” noted Melissa Hillier, executive director of the United Way Leeds & Grenville, “and all funds raised in Leeds and Grenville stay in our county. This is an essential element of our fund raising efforts – every dollar raised stays right here.” The Leeds & Grenville campaign kicked off in ﬁne style last Wednesday, Sept. 9, with a goal of changing 33,102 lives. “It is a goal we believe our community – individual donors, businesses, and community organizations – are willing to help us achieve” con-

No, Payne, no gain for Canadians: Green Party of Canada Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Editor’s note: This is the ﬁrst in a series of Lanark-FrontenacKingston candidate proﬁles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19. After the longest election period in modern times, Canadians across the country will cast ballots on Oct. 19, electing the 42nd Parliament of Canada. Anita Payne, 61, is the Green Party candidate in the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. “I think I’m the oldest contender,” she joked during an interview with this newspaper on Sept. 3. Payne faces three challengers: Phil Archambault (Liberal), John Fenik (NDP) and incumbent Scott Reid (Conservative). “People should vote for me because I will bring them real representation in Parliament,” she said. “The Green Party doesn’t

allow whipped votes.” If elected, Payne will be working for the voters, not her party, as the Greens allow members to vote in the best interest of themselves, and their constituents. Although the Tay Valley Township resident has never run federally, Payne ran three times provincially – and in three different ridings: Perth-Wellington (2007), Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock (2011) and Prince Edward-Hastings (2014). Payne was born in Toronto and grew up in Scarborough. Spending her summers at the cottage on Lake Simcoe, she had a lot of interaction with nature, which inspired her to study ecology. “I earned two degrees,” she said. “One from the University of Guelph and my master’s from Western University.” The retired high school science teacher has two adult children and one grandchild, and in her spare time Payne enjoys:

travelling, making art quilts, swimming, hiking and cycling. “I’ve done a few triathlons,” she said, “and in 2016 I plan on doing the Perth Kilt Run.” “It’s great to do positive things, savouring the Earth we are trying to save,” Payne added. The candidate has been active in various community and environmental groups, including the Ontario Society for Environmental Education and the Black Lake Association, over the years in both Lanark County and Stratford, where she lived for 11 years. Payne joined the Green Party in 2003. “Although I never really had any political ambitions, I felt compelled to join the Green Party,” she said. “I wanted to help bring an environmental focus to political decisions.” Elizabeth May became the head of the Green Party of Canada in the fall of 2006.

“I already knew her,” Payne said, “and I was thrilled when she decided to run for the leadership.” After hearing May speak at a Green Party of Ontario conference, “I was inspired,” she continued, “and I decided to put my name forward to be the provincial candidate.” In the summer of 2013 Payne participated in a training session – the Climate Reality Project – led by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, gaining a better

understanding of environmental issues and becoming a skilled communicator on the impacts of climate change. To bring attention to the climate crisis and demand action, in 2014 Payne participated in the Great March for Climate Action. Hundreds of climate advocates set out from Los Angeles on March 1, walking 3,000 miles across the U.S. to Washington, D.C. The journey would take eight months. “I started the walk on March

1,” Payne said, “and after arriving in Phoenix a month later, I went home.” She returned to the walk in September, leaving from Chicago. “On Nov. 1 we arrived in Washington (at the White House),” Payne said. The group declared they saw ﬁrsthand how climate change is affecting people from coast to coast and their message was this: See GREEN page 4

Archives Lanark reports on successful summer, book launch As fall approaches, the volunteers at Archives Lanark look back on a successful summer helping people find their family roots in Lanark County and providing records to those preparing books and displays for the upcoming celebrations of the Perth Military Settlement next year and the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. When people from a distance remark on what a varied collection of records we have and how

helpful our volunteers are, they note the difference when they visit a government archives and are pretty much on their own. Donations of family histories covering the Amell, Lyon, Arthur, Earnshaw, John Wesley and Thomas Ferguson families add to our large genealogy collection. A historical novel, Cry to the Moment, by Ella Hopper Ross covers in great detail the emigration of a family from the Hebrides to Pakenham Township complete with maps and references to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every person would be insured of enough income to allow them to live with dignity,â&#x20AC;? Payne said. The GLI would replace federal transfers for social assistance, disability supports, the Old Age Supplement and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for the elderly, the Canadian Child Tax Benefit and National Child Benefit Supplement for parents with children, and the Working Income Tax Benefit for the poor. Moreover, the National Seniors Strategy would call for other support programs, including pharmacare, and homecare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These supports would allow seniors to stay in their homes as long as they are able to,â&#x20AC;? Payne said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they end up being much happier.â&#x20AC;? Climate change â&#x20AC;&#x153;The threat of climate change has never been more urgent,â&#x20AC;?

The thousands of people fleeing into Europe from Syria, Afghanistan and other locations... â&#x20AC;&#x153;are fleeing because of war that was started as a result of a seever drought, which was caused by climate change,â&#x20AC;? Payne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even Stephen Harper admitted this summer that the severe fires out west are the result of climate change,â&#x20AC;? she continued. On the subject of rising greenhouse emissions, Payne is disappointed the Harper government has never brought in regulations for the oil and gas sectors. Another concern for the Green Party candidate is having North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest oilsands pipeline going through Stittsville, pumping millions of barrels of oil-

sands (tar sands) oil from Alberta to New Brunswick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the risk to Ontarians,â&#x20AC;? Payne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any community the pipeline travels through is at risk, because we all know pipelines leak.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a safe way to transport bitumen!â&#x20AC;? she continued.

Platform Payne said the Green Party of Canada is about more than just the environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a total platform based on a 130-page document called Vision Green,â&#x20AC;? Payne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vision Green comes from the grassroots idea of all the Green Party members.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of participatory democracy, which is one of the key values that Green parties all around the world are based on,â&#x20AC;? she added. In Canada, the Green Party is the only national party that belongs to a global political movement. Payne noted quite a number of older people reside in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding; however, â&#x20AC;&#x153;these people are afraid of outliving their money.â&#x20AC;? The Green Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guaranteed Liveable Income (GLI) initiative, part of its National Seniors Strategy, establishes an income floor below which no Canadian could fall, but with incentives for recipients to continue working and to earn more.

CHEO launches 25th annual Dream of a Lifetime Lottery Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland.com

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario sets a great example in supporting the region’s sick children. The community will be joining in with its support for another exciting Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. CHEO launched its 25th Dream of Lifetime Lottery on Monday, Sept. 14 at this year’s

Minto Dream Home, just outside of Manotick. The grand prize package is located at 800 Percival Cres. and is a fully-furnished, exquisitely decorated home. The grand prize comes with $100,000 in cash, a 2016 Chevy Camaro from Meyers Automotive Group, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy and furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries. That is only the ﬁrst of many

great prizes to be won. The lottery launch featured a gathering of community builders who have teamed up to make this venture a success. Graham Richardson, CTV co-anchor was the master of ceremonies. “This is one of my favourite events,” said Richardson. He joked that when you look at the interest in the dream house lottery compared to your everyday election story there is no comparison. People

This $1.7 million grand prize is up for grabs in this year’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery for CHEO; the prize includes the home and vehicle pictured here, and more.

really care about CHEO, he said. CHEO Foundation president and CEO Kevin Keohane said last year’s lottery was a sell-out and this year organizers expect the same. He said that this year the fundraising goal is $3 million and over the past 25 years the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery had raised $46 million for CHEO. Keohane stressed the importance of the community and team effort for the lottery and said, “If everyone thinks of just their part – everyone involved in this project will make it a success.” Bruce Squires is the vice president of people, strategy and performance at CHEO. He said, “Every year, with the support of the community CHEO is able to help 500,000 children.” One child who has had the good fortune to have CHEO in her life is 14year-old Clara von Maltzahn. She attended the lottery launch and had a few words to say. When she was six-years-old she was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The treatments she has received at CHEO have made a difference. “CHEO is huge in my life,” she said. “If CHEO had not treated me I would be in a wheelchair right now. I would be miserable.” Richardson asked Clara what she thought of the house. She paused before asking him if he had seen the television

downstairs, which brought a laugh from those gathered. On a more serious note Clara said, “CHEO is my hope for the future. They took my arthritis away.

County to move funds from homeownership program to benefit Renovate Lanark initiative Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

More Lanark County residents are seeking aid in renovating their homes, than purchasing new ones. County social housing manager Sandy Grey revealed that fact during the county’s community services committee meeting Sept. 9 in Perth, at which time the committee endorsed re-allocating $150,000 from the county’s homeownership program to its Renovate Lanark initiative. For 2015-2016, there is $200,000 in funding available through the homeownership program, while Renovate Lanark

has $200,425. Grey said the Renovate Lanark has already used up all of its funding with 16 requests still on a waiting list. “We’ve helped quite a few people. Most have been common requests for roof repair and also furnace repair,” she said. Residences in Beckwith, Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth and Tay Valley have benefitted from Renovate Lanark with the most number of households helped in Lanark Highlands (seven). However, the homeownership program has not been as active as in previ-

ous years, but has aided four new homeowners in Tay Valley, Drummond/North Elmsley, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls. It provides five per cent of the purchase price of a home through a 20-year loan. Just $34,095 of the $200,000 in the fund has been used. “The homeownership program is traditionally most active in the spring, so I’m really concerned we won’t be spending as much in that program this spring,” Grey noted, which was why she was asking to transfer $150,000 over to Renovate Lanark. “We anticipate we will continue to receive requests during the heating season for low-income households,” she continued.

According to Grey, provincial guidelines state that 90 per cent of the funding must be spent by Dec. 31, 2015 with the entire amount used up by March 31, 2016. Coun. Bill Dobson (Montague reeve), community services chair, questioned whether there would be enough funds in the homeownership program if council agreed to the transfer. “There is $15,000 left to spend in homeownership (with the re-allocation),” Grey answered. With the infusion of funds, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) asked “how many people would be impacted?” Grey noted that the maximum loan

in Renovate Lanark is $10,000. “So we will be able to help at least 15,” she said. “The cost of a furnace is roughly $5,000.” Along with the motion to re-allocate the funds, Grey will also be submitting a request to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to adjust the social housing program delivery fiscal plan to reflect the change. “I think this is an excellent working solution,” added Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor). “It leaves a little bit of money in homeownership in case we have a late application but we’re being proactive to help these families on the (Renovate Lanark) waiting list...”

Starting the conversation

hile we often see images of others starving around the world, the reality is, many in our own country are going hungry. According to Food Banks Canada, hunger is a reality in Canada and they want to establish a dialogue to raise awareness on the issue and come up with solutions. Enter Hunger Awareness Week, which will be marked nationally Sept. 21 to 25. It’s shocking to know that 850,000 individuals across the country turn to food banks for support and one in 10 Canadians doesn’t know where their next meal will come from. Food banks here in Lanark County are getting in on the discussion as well, planning a series of events designed to bring some focus to the issue of hunger and make a positive impact. The Smiths Falls Community Food Bank is encouraging residents to lend a hand with fall food drives in town or visit the food bank to find out how they operate. The Lanark County Food Bank, which serves Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills is taking it one step further. They have planned an interactive Chopped-

style Master Chef Cook-Off where three local chefs will be tasked with creating an appetizer, main course and dessert using a typical food hamper the food bank would provide for a family of four. The catch is, the chefs have no idea what items will be included. According to food bank manager Karin Nakamura, the idea behind the cookoff is to show that “food bank food doesn’t have to be boring.” Also planned during the week are an online auction and car rally, giving people a chance to tour through the area, all while helping the food bank raise much-needed funds to purchase perishables for their food hampers. Social media can be a powerful tool in the discussion. Food Banks Canada is inviting people to follow them on Twitter and Instagram (find the links at hungerawareness.ca) to start a dialogue. The site also highlights special events taking place during the week. We urge you to consider attending an event or two. Perhaps you don’t need access to food bank services presently, but you never know when you might.

Father learns the value of the knife sharpening man Few buggies came in our long lane that caused more excitement for me than the one bringing the old man who came to sharpen our knives. Everything about him was different from any other visitor to our farm out in Northcote. You could hear him before you saw him. He had a rack attached to the dashboard of the buggy, and it held a row of bells, which he pounded, one after the other all the way in the lane and right into our yard. As soon as our old dog Sport heard the bells, he ran to the cow byre and hid in the hay. Mother said it was the old man’s way of letting us know he was coming and gave her time to redd up the knives in the kitchen. Father thought paying good money for sharpening knives

was a complete waste, since he could do just as good a job with the whit stone. “Can you cut a piece of paper with the knives you sharpened?” Mother would ask. For that, Father had no answer. The old man steered the buggy right over to the watering trough so his horse could have a drink while he worked. He hopped down, went to the back of the buggy and took out a small stand and a little stool, nodded in my direction and got right down to the business of

sharpening knives. Mother had arrived at the spot with a kitchen tray and every knife we owned. The contraption that did the work had a stone wheel, which sat in a little basin and this he filled with water from the watering trough. A belt went from the wheel down to a wood pedal and once he sat on the three-legged stool and placed a foot on the pedal, he worked it up and down just like Mother did on the treadle Singer sewing machine. The wheel went at a great clip spitting out water in every direction. One after another the old man took a knife from the tray, held it to the stone, and stuff flew off the wheel, water spewed out from the basin, and before long the old man’s front was soaked to the skin. He stopped only long

enough to get more water from the trough for the job at hand. He had a stump of a cigar in his mouth and never once did I see him put a match to it. I was just as fascinated with the cigar as I was with the knife sharpener, because even though it wasn’t

lit, it was obvious to me that he was chewing it. Because every once in a while, he would let go with a spit that arched in the air and landed about 10 feet away. I marveled at such a talent for spitting and watched as the stub of his cigar got smaller and smaller

until there was nothing left but one final spit. Why he didn’t sever off a finger was beyond me. He wore no gloves, but held the blade of the knife heavy against the whirling See MARY page 9

wheel, turning it often to do both sides. When he got it to his liking, he took a sheet of newspaper from the ground; obviously there for just such a purpose and with one fell-swoop, he sliced the paper with the newly sharpened knife. I was very impressed! Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform. He put the handle over his shoul-

LETTER From page 8

Ontario are rated for youth audiences (G, PG, 14A). In 2014, 90 per cent of movies that featured tobacco use got away with a youth-rating in Ontario, compared with only 53 per cent in the US. It is common knowledge that most people start smoking before the age of 18. My grandfather passed away from lung cancer as a result of a smoking addiction he started in his youth. A simple and obvious step to ensure children and youth are not conditioned to think cigarettes are cool or normal is to require all movies that

Father wandered over from the barn. “Well, I’ll be darned,” he said. Mother paid the old man 10 cents for every knife he honed and he told Father, “The axe is on the house,” whatever that meant. Never again did Father complain about the old man who came once or twice a year to sharpen our knives.

In fact, he always made sure one of our axes, badly in need of a sharpening, was leaning against the pump platform in wait. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville, Perth site, hosted its annual Coffee Break fundraiser at Barnabe’s Indpendent Grocer on Sept. 4. Pictured are MPP Randy Hillier and Louise Noble, executive director, during the barbecue which raised $350. “We got lots of exposure at this event which is great for us for awareness,” said Bobbi-Jo Jarvis, fundraising coordinator for the Alzheimer Society. Coffee Break is the Alzheimer Society’s major nationwide annual fundraiser where friends, co-workers and customers gather in communities across Canada to raise funds for local Alzheimer societies. This is largely a third party fundraiser and hosts are not limited to coffee consumption. Some people host card parties, barbecues, have a silent auction or yard sale. Businesses sometimes sell cut outs (window decorations), have dress-up or dress-down days at work, or raffles to raise money. The society supplies the promotional materials and the coffee.

now before they are gone. If you would like more information, call Bobbi-Jo Jarvis at 613-264-0307. Ich hoffe dich dort zu sehen! Submitted by the Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville.

Blues on the Rideau kicks off 11th year Sept. 25 with Danny Brooks Blues On The Rideau (BOTR), the dinner and show fundraiser series that has been running at The Cove Country Inn in Westport, Ontario for the past 10 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; starts its 2015/16 season on Sept. 25 with the great Danny Brooks and Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Miss Debi coming up from Llano, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; backed by his terriďŹ c veteran band from Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Memphis Brothers. Born and raised in Toronto,

but now a Texas resident, singer/songwriter/guitarist/harp player Brooks combines the best of Texas and Mississippi soul blues. He is a multiple Juno and Maple Blues Award nominee and will be backed by his wife Debi and some of the best players in Toronto. Proceeds from the evening will go to beneďŹ t Westport In Bloom. BOTR is now recognized as one of the best blues series

in the country. Once again it features another all-star cast of some of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best blues bands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all Juno, Maple Blues and Lys Blues Award nominees/winners. This season thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice mix of popular returnees with a couple of new bands that have never played BOTR before. As in previous years every show is a fundraiser for a different local charity. To date the series has raised more than $55,000. The goal

this year is to reach another $5,000. All BOTR shows run from 7 to 11 p.m. and include a delicious full course buffet dinner. The venue is small, intimate and relaxed. After dinner you get to see and dance to these great Blues bands up close and personal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the way blues is best enjoyed! There are door prize giveaways at every show and two grand prizes drawn at the end of the season. All of this for a very reasonable price of $65 (plus tax). There has been a small increase ($5) in the price this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ďŹ rst in ďŹ ve years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to help cover cost increases over this time. And there is a new

reservation policy in place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a credit card number is required with the reservation (although the card is not charged until the night of the show). Cancellations or changes in the reservation can be made up to a week prior to the event without penalty. After that time those than donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or come with fewer people than reserved for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be charged for those seats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although a credit will be applied for a future show that season (space available). The new policy has been implemented due to a number of no shows over the past several years which, in many cases, has prevented others who would like to attend.

Dinner and the show is $65 (plus HST). Advance reservations are required and it is wise to book well in advance, especially if you want to stay overnight. Rooms at The Cove and nearby B&Bs and motels frequently sell out on blues nights. To reserve, simply call The Cove at 613-273-3636 or 1-888-COVEINN. For more information, email info@coveinn.com or visit www.coveinn.com. For information on the series and the artists set to perform, visit www.bluesontherideau. ca.

Dubliners are hoping for economic comeback We’re just back from Dublin, the vibrant and interesting capital city of the Irish Republic. Despite the hustle and bustle things have definitely changed there as Europe and the rest of the developed world try to safely ride the latest financial roller coaster. Gone is the forest of construction cranes which, during a visit in 2006 had us awestruck as the capital of Ireland boomed and the cost of real estate soared into the stratosphere. The so-called “Celtic Tiger” long ago lost its claws. Dublin was the birthplace of what turned out to be an amazingly brief period of prosperity. Taxi drivers in the Irish capital are the friendliest, most talkative cabbies we have encountered anywhere. They too are trying to deal with the new normal as Uber spreads its wings to cover every major city on the globe. The tale of financial woe the city’s taxi drivers spin is a depressing one. As the construction cranes began to fall like dominos (in 2006 Dublin was second only to the United Arab Emirates in that department) so too did the financial fortunes of islanders. The Irish joined the Euro zone at a fortuitous time and for a few short years they benefited more than most members from the financial perks which, at one time, went with membership in the European Union (EU). Caught up in a wave of what turned out to be false economic promise a number of Ireland’s partners, led by Greece as it happens, built such huge debts that they could no longer make the required interest payments. Trying to juggle their own books, which were already awash in a suddenly red sea, was difficult enough for Ireland without being asked to help bail out Greece and other flagging EU partners. From my observations the Irish are very hard workers and I’m sure the notion of Greeks retiring at age 50, with the idea of a pension for life, doesn’t wash there! I will qualify the previous sentence by noting that I’m sure not all Greeks fall into that category. But that perception is part of the unflattering picture which has been painted for us in the midst of the Mediterranean nation’s massive financial mess. Still, I don’t hear the Irish heaping their woes on any other people. They feel they only have themselves to blame for diving into a promising pool which turned out to be very shallow. Ask Dublin’s cab drivers and

Reflections By Jeff maguire

you will get an honest answer. “Too many heads were turned by big money,” our driver lamented as she tried to weave through the daily traffic jam in the city centre. We were on the way to Connolly Railway Station where we had a mid-morning train to catch. Expensive city “See that place,” she said, gesturing toward a ritzy looking, multi-storey structure overlooking the River Liffey. “It’s a condo and it’s too expensive. But housing is so scarce in the (city) centre that people are doubling and tripling up to buy places.” It’s true Dublin is somewhat insulated from the slump that plagued lightly populated Ireland following the recession of 2009. More than one-third of the country’s 4.6 million residents call Dublin home. As the Tiger turned tail and ran for cover construction of new housing in the nation declined markedly. That created an even bigger accommodation crisis in housingchallenged Dublin. We toured much of the island (south and north) with friends last summer. While we were there I read a story in the Irish Times saying new housing starts were again on the rise. That was especially true in the country’s largest communities led by Dublin and including the southern port city of Cork and Galway on the west coast. This year the rebound is continuing led by the demand for new residential developments in Dublin and vicinity. Central Dublin in particular is the worst place in the country to find accommodation. Demand continues to outstrip the supply and space is also a big consideration. Dublin is an old city of course. Originally a Viking settlement, founded in 840, the Norsemen called the town “Dubh-Linn” (Dark Pool). Typical of the way so many European cities have developed, the footprint of Central Dublin hasn’t changed that much over the years. That means a lot of buildings and streets are jammed into a very confined space, hugging the banks of the Liffey, a tidal river that empties into the Irish Sea. Real estate in the centre is highly prized and very expensive. Several years of reduced construction activity has put even

more pressure on the tight housing and commercial markets. Dubliners hope that will change as they nervously watch developments in the Euro zone. Some of those Kathleen and I spoke to wish they had followed the lead of the British and kept their own currency. Although it is hard to know if that would have made them less vulnerable? Ireland is but a drop in the large European pool. Like most European countries the Irish Republic and its busy capital city lean heavily on the tourism industry for financial support. And it is such a welcoming country to visit. The people are friendly, we speak the same language (after a fashion) and there is so much to see and do. History, including our family trees which found growth on this small island, brings us back to Ireland again and again. That fact aside we love the country and especially Dublin. It’s been a difficult year in our family and we needed a getaway. Dublin – and London which we also visited on this excursion – was a tonic for us! We enjoyed a mix of familiar places and new experiences during this year’s visit to Ireland. We took the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) train south to the coastal town of Bray on the Irish Sea where we stayed during our first visit to Ireland in 2001. It was so enjoyable to walk along the expansive beach and watch and listen to the sea roll ashore. We followed the flight of the gulls as they dipped and dived over a large bluff at one end of the seafront. The vendors were doing a brisk business selling chips (fries) and ice lollies (popsicles) on a pleasant late summer afternoon. Imposing castle Back in the city we made a point of touring Dublin Castle one of the Top 10 attractions there, but a place we had never visited. Commissioned by King John in the 13th century the imposing castle has evolved from a medieval fortress into a vice-regal court and administrative centre. For 700 years it was a controversial symbol of British rule in Ireland. The Easter Rising in 1916 led to the declaration of an Irish Free State and civil war. It wasn’t until 1922 that it was formally turned over to Michael Collins and his followers. The commander and chief of the Irish forces during the civil war, Collins was also the head of the provisional government. He was shot dead in his native Cork the same year! For the record, the Irish Civil

War ended after less than a year of conflict in May 1923. If there are financial issues in Ireland, and most certainly there are, you would never know it in Temple Bar, Dublin’s vibrant cultural quarter. Temple Bar is a lively enclave of cobble-stoned streets filled with bars, restaurants, cafés and theatres. Street musicians and buskers help give the area its reputation as the “entertainment heart of Dublin.” Our hotel was located on the north bank of the Liffey, directly opposite Temple Bar which was certainly convenient. If we wanted a meal we crossed one of the pedestrian bridges over the river. The options are unlimited. From Irish menus to Thai food there is a restaurant or pub with dishes to suit every palate. The beer isn’t bad either! In fact if you visit Ireland and especially its busy capital it is mandatory that you sample the country’s national drink, Guinness. Fans of the stout say, “The closer you are to St. James Gate Brewery, the better your pint.” Temple Bar is only a short bus ride from the famous brewery so the Guinness is bound to be at its malty, smooth, creamy best. I heartily recommend a visit to the brewery and in particular the Guinness Storehouse where you can see how the famous beer is brewed. The tour ends high atop the structure in a glass-enclosed bar that, on a clear day, provides panoramic views of Dublin and the expansive brewery itself. And there’s a free pint of Guinness into the bargain! What better place to end a column focusing on Dublin and the Irish economy than with a few facts about Guinness which is such a huge success story. Dublin is known worldwide for its famous stout and 250 years after Arthur Guinness founded it, Guinness is the largest brewery in Europe and the beer is available in more than 150 countries. St. James Gate Brewery covers 55 acres and features its own water and electricity supplies. I thoroughly enjoy Guinness. Our longtime family physician calls the stout “a meal in a glass.” It can safely be said the beer lives up to its advertising. Guinness is good for you! In order to enjoy Guinness at its best you have to visit Dublin. This was our fourth stay in the Irish capital and with any luck we will be back again before long.

The sixth annual MarketPlates event at the Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market on Sunday, Sept 13, attracted foodies of all sorts. A number of local chefs and farmers prepared dishes for people to try – showcasing their own skills, while providing people a sample of local flavours. From left: Ellen Biemond, of Biemond Farm, shows off her ‘baby’ – organic frozen yogurt; chef Manvirendra Negi, of Negi Indian Cuisine, serves authentic Indian food to attendee Robert Beckett; and musician George Buys delighted MarketPlates attendees with folky tunes while they enjoy their samples.

Tessa Tessa was found attempting to break into a Perth hotel room. She had been covered in skunk spray and was looking for a place to wash up. Unfortunately she did not have a credit card to secure the room. Thankfully, a volunteer from LAWS was able to attend the hotel, take her home and deliver her to the shelter the next day. Unfortunately the stress was too much for young Tessa and she delivered her kittens still born. Now healthy and spayed, Tessa needs a place to call home. If you have love in your heart and room in your home, please contact the shelter and ask for Tessa.

Shopping for an assisted living facility The decision to move yourself or a family member to an assisted living facility can be difficult. When men and women begin to experience difficulty with everyday activities, such as bathing, dressing or getting around, families may need to explore assisted living facilities. Millions of people in North America reside in assisted living facilities. The majority of residents in senior living are those who may need assistance with one or two daily activities, but who are otherwise mobile and self-sufficient. Families faced with moving relatives into assisted living facilities can consider the following pointers to find facilities their loved ones will enjoy. • Consider the arrangements and services offered. Some facilities offer single rooms, while others provide apartment-style living. Most assisted living facilities provide a variety of services, such as housekeeping, laundry, exercise and wellness classes, and social activities, for their residents. Investigate the offerings at each home you visit, looking for a facility that best suits your loved one’s needs. • Inquire about staff and their schedules. It is important to know how many staff members a

facility has and how many people are working at any given time. Do staffing schedules differ at night? If a resident has a particular rapport with one staff member, can he or she be requested? Look for a facility that is well-staffed and adept at dealing with elderly men and women. • Learn about individual service plans. Many assisted living facilities create individual service plans, or ISPs, for their residents to ensure individualized care is given. These plans are important for the safety and comfort of residents and also can help maximize a person’s independence. Some communities offer memory care programs for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive disorders. • Consider the security in place. A good assisted living facility has a 24-hour support system in place and immediate access to care. Rooms may be equipped with emergency phones that can be accessed day or night. Many homes have checkin desks so that residents are accounted for when going on outings and for announcing guests. • Check on licensing. In the United States, each state has its own licensing requirements for assisted living facilities. Confirm a facility is licensed and that it meets the expectations of the local regulatory agency. In addition, check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the home. Assisted living facilities can meet the needs of people who cannot live independently but do not require the around-the-clock care of a nursing home. TF159514

How to build and maintain strong bones Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become weakened and brittle over time, affects millions of people across the globe. The International Osteoporosis Foundation says an osteoporosis-related fracture occurs roughly once every 3 seconds, accounting for more than 8.9 million fractures a year. Younger individuals typically heal from fractures more quickly than older adults, who often discover that fractures greatly impede their mobility and quality of life. Bone health is important at any age, but it is particularly crucial as a person gets older. Without a strong framework of bones, the body collapses on itself and rates of fracture increase. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep and maintain strong bones. Bones are largely made up of a protein called collagen, which is bound together by calcium and other trace minerals. Vitamin

D and calcium work in concert, with vitamin D helping the body to absorb calcium so it can find its way into bones. Experts advise getting the right ratio of calcium, protein and vitamin D to safeguard against osteoporosis. The Institute of Medicine suggests that adults get between 600 and 800 international units (IUs) of vitamin D every day, and between 1,000 and 1,300 milligrams of calcium daily. Dairy products, such as low- and nonfat milk, yogurt and cheese, are high in calcium. Dark green vegetables and almonds contain calcium in smaller amounts. Obtaining calcium and vitamin D through natural sources is always preferable, but doctors may suggest supplementation if foods are not providing what a person needs to meet the minimum recommended levels. Exercise is another important component

of building strong bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says 30 minutes of exercise each day can help. Higher-intensity exercises should be mixed with lower-intensity workouts for the best results. Weight-bearing exercises, such as hiking, dancing and stair-climbing, can build between 1 and 3 percent of bone. An exercise regimen also should include lifting weights or using resistance bands. Activities that promote good posture and flexibility can help improve balance and alignment of the body. Perform stretches smoothly and slowly after exercising to maintain your range of motion. Quitting smoking also can promote strong bones. Smoking has been linked to poor skeletal health in both men and women, and the longer one smokes, the greater one’s risk for fracture. HW156239

Home remedies for joint pain can provide relief replace jogging or running, and yoga is great for deep stretching. • Lose weight. Joint pain is often tied to obesity. Losing just a few pounds can ease up strain on hips, feet and knees. • Consider hot and cold therapies. Hot treatments will loosen up stiff joints, while cold therapy is best for acute pain relief. • Include anti-inflammatory foods and beverages in your diet. Ginger, turmeric, flaxseed, grape juice, and bromelain can alleviate inflammation and stiffness. Foods such as fatty fish and nuts high in omega-3 fatty acids also will help fight inflammation.

There’s method behind the magic at Perth’s Studio Theatre Jane Stott

Ever gone to see a community theatre play and thought, ‘How have these local actors become the very believable characters I’m seeing? And how do they remember all those lines of dialogue?’ Lucas Tennant is one of five talented actors in the Studio Theatre’s production of Norm Foster’s Kiss the Moon Kiss the Sun, which premieres this Thursday, Sept. 17. When we asked this seasoned actor how he makes the magic happen on stage, he told us that he listens to the other actors and discovers the flow of the dialogue, the way a musician memorizes a piece of music. Dialogue is conversation, and conversation is like music, says Lucas. Acting is about reacting – when you move around the stage and interact with the set and the other actors you are conducting a music memory exercise. If you get it right, the scene flows, and you remember the dialogue that flows with it. In becoming the character of Robert, a man of 35 who has the mental capacity of an eight-yearold, Lucas was able to draw on his own experience of growing up in a family where both parents were social workers. Many of the

guests in their home were clients who would otherwise be alone on holidays, and they became like family. Lucas also talked about observing a neighbour’s 4 year-old son at play, seeing how children think, literally and methodically, and how young minds need the security of routines. This insight became part of Lucas’s portrayal of Robert. While Lucas and his fellow actors are on stage, magic is happening behind the scenes, too. Reiner and Penny Silberhorn work together to bring the playwright’s vision to stage, as the set designer and set dresser in Kiss the Moon Kiss the Sun. In consultation with director Barb Guthrie, they’ve created a feast for our eyes that features four different sets, two of which actually flip around, with one scene on the first side and a different scene on the other. How do they do it? After pouring over the script – and using his background in civil engineering and drafting – Reiner builds a maquette, a detailed scale version of the set, including engineered models of moveable pieces. Usually at this point the set designer would hand his specs to the chief builder, but in this case, that’s Reiner, too – welcome to community theatre! Next, Penny Silberhorn steps

in and works with the chief set painter, usually the talented artist and photographer Bruce Raby and his assistant, Fiona Bladon. Then she sources items to embellish the set, everything from furniture to teapots, often asking local antique dealers for the loan of period pieces, or even borrowing items from her own home. At the end of the day, it all comes together in a polished, compelling production the team can be proud of, and the audience thoroughly enjoys. Don’t miss the Studio Theatre’s current piece of magic, Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun, when it premieres Thursday, Sept. 17. Tickets are $22 at The Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore Street E., and online or by phone or credit card at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. (613-267-6817, shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, (613-485-6434, ticketsplease. ca) a convenience fee applies.

‘Ride to Turn the Tide’ raises over $55,000 for Stephen Lewis Foundation Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The Grassroot Grannies Ride to Turn the Tide can’t be categorized as a fundraiser – it is so much more than that. Inspirational. Enlightening. Courageous. The Grannies raised over $55,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) this year. Since the Ride to Turn the Tide’s inception six years ago, the Grannies have raised over $200,000 for the foundation. There were 23 riders who took part in this years’ ride and four support people, who drove two vans to assist the riders. “There are about 10 grannies in the ride this year,” said Sue Cousineau, one of the founding members of Grassroot Grannies. “We also have some younger riders and a few men. “This is our 35th year riding together,” said Cousineau of herself and the other founders of the group, which started out as group of women who cycled together in Kanata. She explained the SLF was founded following its namesake’s envoy for HIV in Africa. “He lived in Africa and when he came back, he said he couldn’t just walk away without doing something about it,” said Cousineau. She explained HIV and AIDS devastates African communities. “The grandmothers are left with the children,” said Cousineau. “The middle generation was affected by HIV and aids. The mothers die and the children are left. At our age, to go back and parent is a real challenge. It’s a devastating scene.” She explained conditions are improving with the anti-viral drugs to help treat

HIV, preventing it from turning into AIDS, which is a death sentence. “We are starting to see progress,” said Cousineau. “Many people are still contracting HIV, but there’s a big push for education.” She explained this is the 10th year of the Granny Movement, which has seen grandmother groups band together to fundraise for the SLF to support necessary projects to combat HIV and AIDS in Africa. “Grandmothers are becoming advocates in the communities,” said Cousineau.

Nancy Hough, coordinator of the ride, said the first year of the ride brought in roughly $30,000. Last year, the total also topped $55,000 for the SLF. She explained when she and her husband first started the ride, they each fundraised about $1,700. This year, they raised over $3,000 each. The Grassroot Grannies has 20 members. She explained all participants in the ride pay their own registration fee, to cover costs during the ride, so all money fundraised goes to the SLF. The ride began at Bushtukah in Kanata on Sept. 9. Riders travelled 95 ki-

lometers that day, stopping to spend the night in Perth. “We were fed dinner and wine on the Tay River by the Mississippi Grannies,” said Hough. The second day, Sept. 10, was the longest – totaling 115 kilometers. Riders were welcomed at the Merrickville United Church for lunch that day – the only stop on their journey not put on by another granny group. The third day was 56 kilometers and ended back at Bushtukah, where the Grannies were greeted by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa councillors and

representatives from the SLF. “All the projects through the Stephen Lewis Foundation are about teaching women to be self-sustaining,” said Hough. “They are not hand-outs. The foundation also guarantees 90 per cent of the funds go to projects.” She explained the foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign started in 2006, and now encompasses roughly 260 Canadian granny groups.

Municipality passes on solar panels on NGMC arena roof continued From the front

He said the third factor considered was approval from the building owner. Guy explained the NGMC is not owned solely by the municipality, but rather a separate and distinct corporation known as the North Grenville Community Care Corporation. The NGMC was constructed as a P3 Partnership in 2005, whereby the landlord (NGCCC) leases the building to the municipality. This separate corporation is owned by the municipality and the Taggart Group of Companies. Guy said the NGMC was not designed based on climatic data for the area and certain collateral loads, which didn’t include solar panels. The fourth item staff considered was the solar panel installation and maintenance. Guy explained each solar panel weighs 41 pounds and the aluminum racking adds another four pounds. To fill the roof would take 2,300 solar modules with a total weight of 103,500 pounds, spread over the entire roof. He said there would be a need for the building to be evaluated by a structural engineer to determine if the roof can support the ad-

ditional load. Guy explained maintenance of the system would be performed by testing the inverters for any issues. He said SunSmart anticipates never having to go on the roof for maintenance. “The panels will not be cleaned off in the winter months,” said Guy. “The issue of falling snow would be a concern because the surface of the panels are less resistant, allowing snow to fall into the parking lot area, possibly damaging vehicles or injuring pedestrians.” The final factor considered was the terms of proposal under the FIT program. Guy said SunSmart proposed after 20 years, ownership of the panels would pass to the municipality at no cost, with a projection the panels would be a midlife by then. He said the product warranty on the panels, material and workmanship is only 10 years, indicating they would need to be replaced twice during the lease period and then last an additional 10 years under the municipality’s ownership. He also explained the 470,000 kWh savings of electricity per year would only be realized after the municipality takes ownership. Guy said the proponent suggested the panels would result in $94,000 electricity savings per year – a figure that doesn’t take into account any additional costs to replace panels or inverters. “The above analysis provided by staff from various municipal departments and the supporting attachments show the implications as they apply to this proposed project,” said Guy. “Therefore staff are not recommending that the municipality proceed with the installation of solar panels on the NGMC.” Council voted not to proceed with the proposal on Sept. 14.

Five girls come together to raise $1,200 for the Terry Fox Run

the Terry Fox Foundation. She and her family had participated in the race every year since Emily was a baby, and Terry was a true Canadian hero. With the product and the cause identified, the girls got down to business making and selling bracelets. Between January and June, MELCN’s managed to sell $78 worth of bracelets at school to teachers and students. Their

goal was to raise at least $100 before the annual Terry Fox Run in mid-September. They knew they couldn’t rely on many more sales from school, since the academic year was just starting, so they decided to set up a table outside of B and H Grocery Store for three hours Sunday afternoon before the race. With a little perseverance, they managed to raise another $320! Emily and Cheyenne’s

parents agreed that however much MELCN’s sold, they would donate the same amount as their contribution to the run. All in, the girls raised $400.15 on their own and another $800.30 in matching funds, for a grand total of $1,200.45. They were very proud of their accomplishment. They had a vision, set a goal, and not only achieved it, but exceeded it.

At this year’s race, the Terry Fox Foundation circulated a note in memory of Terry’s mother, Betty Fox, who died in 2011. In that note it says that Betty always ended her speeches about Terry and his vision with the same line – “Never give up on your dreams.” I think Betty would be proud of these girls today.

This year the Terry Fox run will take place on Sunday, Sept. 20 at the old fire hall in Kemptville on Reuben Crescent. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. and the actual walk/run begins at 10 a.m. Participants can walk, bike, rollerblade or run. Kemptville’s Harry Pratt will emcee, music is provided by Kevin Render, the safety car driver is Kelly Logsdail. It takes around 20 volunteers to look after the event, which is organized by Debbie MacDougall. The outdoor tent is provided by Arcand Party Tents, apples are provided by Mountain Orchard, water and juice are provided by B&H, The Independent and Giant Tiger, ice is provided by Stinsons and candy provided by Bulk Barn. There are four rest stops for participants. Since 1985 the Terry Fox run in Kemptville had fundraised $219,612.23. Last January, five girls from Holy Cross’s Grade 4 class decided they wanted to do a fundraiser for a good cause. They were all very accomplished at making intricate Rainbow Loom bracelets, and thought this might be something they could sell to their classmates, friends and neighbours. Maria Gaynor, Emily Hallman, Lauren Ryan, Cheyenne Morris, and Niko Hildebrandt set up an email address and called their new business venture MELCN’s - one letter for each of their first names. The next step was to figure out what they would raise the money for. Emily suggested

Federal Election 2015

Addressing cost-of-living issue is a priority: Green candidate Tim Ruhnke

truhnke@metroland.com

Editor’s Note: This is the ﬁrst of our proﬁle coverage on candidates running for the MP position for the Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes riding that we will publish over the coming weeks. To Lorraine Rekmans, it’s all about having the chance to talk about how her party can help improve the lives of Canadians. The Green candidate in LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes is also the party’s indigenous affairs critic; she is of Algonquin descent. Rekmans, 52, resides in Osgoode village just outside of the riding and has lived in the area for about 12 years. She works at the family’s automotive business in North Grenville with her husband and two sons. Rekmans is no stranger to campaigning. She represented the Green party in a Northern Ontario riding in the 2008 and 2011 federal elections. Rekmans has a background in journalism, and she is the former executive

director of the National Aboriginal Forestry Association. “Every single day I have an opportunity to talk about the Green party platform,” she said in an interview. Rekmans indicated early in the campaign that she is excited and optimistic about the election, although she did not have expectations about the outcome. “We know what the odds are… that’s not going to deter us,” she commented.When it comes to the economy, Rekmans emphasized the value of the Guaranteed Liveable Income (GLI) initiative being proposed by the Green party. GLI would replace many existing federal and provincial transfers for social programs and supplements and create an income ﬂoor with a universal beneﬁt that would be reduced gradually as a recipient earns additional income. “GLI is a logical solution,” she said. Rekmans does not believe that jacking up the minimum wage is a solution to challenges faced by low-income workers. “It drives up the cost of goods and services,” she stated. “It doesn’t alleviate the cost-of-living problem.”

The Green party candidate rejects the suggestion that it would take many years to implement initiatives such as GLI. “It should resonate with every Canadian,” said Rekmans, who also spoke of the need to re-establish Canadian values and restore confidence and hope in the country’s future. Most Canadians are waiting for things to get better, she commented. As for revitalizing democracy, Rekmans noted that the Green party is calling for the creation of a council of Canadian governments that would include the provinces, first nations and municipalities. Goals would be identified as well as actions to be taken by the different levels of government. Electoral reform would also be a priority. At a recent candidate discussion on affordable housing in Brockville, Rekmans indicated that housing should be recognized in the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms. A first step by a Green government would be to create a national housing strategy.

Every little bit helps. The ﬁrst ever ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign on Aug. 28, in support of the House of Lazarus, collected $559 and 679 pounds of food in four hours. The Lannin Bus used for the campaign travelled from Jonsson’s Independent in Kemptville, to the Kemptville Walmart and onto Andy’s Foodland in Winchester to collect donations for the House of Lazarus food bank. On Sept. 10, representatives from the House of Lazarus presented Steve Jonsson, owner of Jonsson’s Independent, and Lorna Nieuwenhuizen, manager of Walmart, with certiﬁcates of appreciation for their ongoing support of the organization. Jonsson’s Independent has a box at the front of the store for collecting donations for the House of Lazarus food bank all year round. “There is a true need for the community,” said Jonsson. “Not just at Christmas or during campaigns, but an ongoing need.” Every week, a full bin of food is collected from Jonsson’s Independent. “The House of Lazarus is a wonderful organization,” said Jonsson. Walmart offers support to the organization by offering space for their fundraisers. “It touches our community and our store,” said Lorna Nieuwenhuizen, when asked why it’s important to support the House of Lazarus. Following the presentation, she explained Walmart has a matching grant program, where any funds raised at Walmart for a charitable organization can be matched up to $1,000, suggesting next year’s ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign include a table inside, in addition to the bus out front. “People are so giving in Kemptville,” said Nieuwenhuizen. “It’s unbelievable.” Kim Merkley, manager of client services for House of Lazarus, explained the food collected during the ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign represents about a two-day supply for the food bank, which serves about 350 families on a regular basis. That number continues to grow. “We are getting more people all the time,” said Samantha Sheldrick, House of Lazarus volunteer. “Just this week, we’ve seen two or three new clients.” “We have between 125 and 135 families who access our food bank every month,” said Merkley, and “75 per cent of them are families with children.”

‘Fill the Bus’ campaign benefits food bank CONTINUED From page K5

She explained October is when the food bank sees a significant rise in usage, as heating bills begin to increase for most families, resulting in less money for food. The ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign came to fruition as a continued effort by the House of Lazarus to come up with new, fun ways to raise money. The House of Lazarus has more fundraisers coming up, including a spaghetti supper in October, a big garage sale sometime in the fall and a fish fry that is still in the planning stages. “We are always looking for volunteers,” said Merkley. The House of Lazarus functions solely on donations. It is located at 2245 Simms St. in Mountain. For more information on the House of Lazarus, check out the Facebook page or visit www.houseoflazarus.com. If you wish to donate or volunteer, call Merkley at (613)-989-3830 or email house. lazarus02@gmail.com.

United Way campaign emphasizes lives changed Tim Ruhnke

truhnke@metroland.com

It might look different, but the commitment to supporting member agencies remains in place. That was one of the takeaways from the United Way of Leeds & Grenville’s 2015 campaign kick-off breakfast on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Local dignitaries and volunteers gathered at CJ’s in Brockville for the non-profit organization’s annual fall campaign launch. The 2014 drive raised $1.1 million in support of the United Way’s 28 member agencies that provide services and programs utilized by about one in three residents of the Leeds and Grenville area. Executive Director Melissa Hillier announced at the kick-off that the 2015 campaign goal will “reflect lives changed” rather than dollars raised. She indicated a similar approach is now being taken by a number of other United Ways. The local United Way’s slogan has also been refreshed. “Change starts here” has been replaced by “Together, we are possibility.” Terry O’Reilly returns for another year as chair of the local United Way Tim Ruhnke/METROLAND campaign. “Well, here we are again,” he started. Terry O’Reilly returns for another O’Reilly noted that promoting giving year as chair of the local United can be a challenge in the best of times. Way campaign. “Never has that need been greater than

now,” he commented. O’Reilly referred to the convergence of a number of extraordinary challenges facing the organization at this time. “And we will meet them,” he added. Among the changes is the absence of long-time executive director Judi Baril, who retired in the spring after leading the local United Way for more that 25 years. In noting that Hillier is a wonderful, enthusiastic and capable person, O’Reilly acknowledged that the organization will miss Baril’s experience. The campaign chair asked the volunteers to bring a special spirit and zeal to this year’s fundraising drive. “I know you will do your very best,” he commented. Many of the regular fundraising events remain on the United Way campaign schedule. They include Spaghettifest at North Grenville District High School on Oct. 3, as well as the silent auction at 1000 Islands Mall, Starlight Film Festival for teenagers at Galaxy Cinemas and the Docs and Diamonds gala at the Brockville Memorial Centre in November. United Way’s Giant Bingo returns to Prescott on Oct. 3. There will be Hockey Night in Leeds and Grenville, but the date has not been determined. There will be changes to that event, it was noted at the breakfast. The hockey event is co-hosted by Gord Brown, the local MP who is running in

One of the speakers at the kick-off was Murray Grant, HR manager at GreenField Specialty Alcohols in Johnstown and one of the United Way volunteers who raises money at the plant. Grant told the breakfast audience that he cannot recite the mission of the vision of the organization. “The United Way helps people in need” and changes people’s lives in the process, he stated. “That’s what it’s all about.” Grant acknowledged there are challenges such as trying to deal with volunteer fatigue, keeping campaigns fresh and encouraging others to donate without being perceived as being a pest. “The problems we face are small compared to the good we can do,” he commented. As for the new executive director, Hillier thanked United Way officials and staff for helping her get established in her new role. “I know it’s going to be a very special campaign,” she said. Hillier told the Kemptville Advance that the organization will be reporting on the number of lives changed on a weekly basis during the campaign and highlighting local success stories. “We are trying very hard to get away from putting a dollar value out there,” she stated. “We are encouraging people to think about the lives changed and the impact on the community instead.” For more information, call the United Way at 613-342-8889 or visit www. uwleedsgrenville.org.

FFC hosts tour to showcase accomplishments and future plans Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation (FFCC) invited municipal staff members and members of council for a tour of the nursery and arboretum on Sept. 8. Ed Patchell, the chief operation officer of the FFCC, served as the guide. The FFCC is funded by the Ferguson Forest Centre (FFC) Nursery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our objection is to provide good forest management and forest conservation in North Grenville,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. The nursery produces about 2.5 million trees per year, about one million of which make their way to crown lands for re-forestation. He explained the local seed sources are used at the nursery to produce species adapted to the natural environment of the area. The FFC has a seed archive on site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When customers buy from us, they have a better chance to succeed in this area,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. The purpose of the tour is to bring council and municipal staff up to date on the FFC and changes over recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rent 300 acres from the municipality,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take care of another 700 acres of crown land.â&#x20AC;? Kemptville Creek is the main water source for the FFC, which has an underground irrigation system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piping that runs under the whole facility,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was put in back in 1985, for around $8 million. That would cost about $50 million to do now.â&#x20AC;? He explained the FFC does control and monitor water usage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a drought situation, we do cut back on water usage,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. He said when the facility was purchased from the Ministry of Natural Resources in 1998, there were three greenhouses. Now there are 15 greenhouse bays at the FFC. He said the FFC is currently working with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority on a Butternut tree recovery project. Butternut is a soft wood, with a high wildlife value as a food source. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a Butternut archive on the property,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those trees at risk, so we need to do conservation work.â&#x20AC;? He explained the FFC Corporation has been managing the facility since 1998. At the time, the facility was owned by the municipality. Since Nov. 2000, the FFC has been run as a private corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, there has been $660,000 invested in upgrades on buildings,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. The FFC pays $50,000 a year in rent to the municipality for use of the lands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are enhancing the lands as well, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win all around,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. The first stop on the tour was the greenhouses, where the FFC keeps potted stock to sell to the conservation authorities for their programs.

Ed Patchell explains future plans for the arboretum at the Ferguson Forest Centre.

The tour then progressed past one of the trails at the FFC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of trails we manage as part of our mandate, to incorpo-

rate recreation within the community,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around 15km of trails within the nursery and crown land.â&#x20AC;? He said there are a number of areas within the FFC designed for recreational use, including the arboretum, parking areas and bike trails. He explained chemicals are only sprayed in the fields, not the surrounding land, to control weed growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do try to hold off on spraying chemicals,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. The FFC supports the Ontario Woodlot Association and the Ontario Maple Syrup Association. They also work with the Canadian Forest Service, which currently has a variety of willow clones growing in the nursery. He pointed out a number of fields with fencing around the perimeter during the tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That fencing costs about $10,000 per field,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was put up to protect against deer. There was a large population of deer here before eQuinelle (subdivision) and Colonnade (mall). It was a real corridor of wildlife refuge.â&#x20AC;? He explained he used to drive around the FFC back in the 1990s and see

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER

Officially Older I did a double take when I looked at the publication date for this article. September 17th. Serendipity. On this very day 65 years ago, I came into this world at Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Hospital in Toronto. According to Mom, during a thunderstorm. So today, I am officially a senior citizen. I am so looking forward to my first Canada Pension cheque. After contributing to the plan for 48 years, it will soon be coming the other way. Almost like the hydro meter spinning backwards ( like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen). While having my morning coffee, I picked up a book on the kitchen table. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re married to a librarian there is always a book within armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach. This was â&#x20AC;&#x153; A New Leaf: growing with my gardenâ&#x20AC;?, written by Merilyn Simonds. Her garden is just north of Kingston. I started to read excerpts. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have chapters as such, they are just a series of essays or anecdotes. One of the margin quotes caught my attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Digging in the dirt is not a young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport.â&#x20AC;? She noted that all of her friends and family did not come to gardening until middle age. When the years behind them were roughly equal to the years in front of them. It got me thinking about our experience. We really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start gardening until our mid thirties. And when we thought about it, neither did our friends and family. Last year I wrote an article lamenting the decline of gardening with the younger generation.

roughly 50 deer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to see a couple,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. He explained the FFCC has invested about $50,000 in mowing equipment over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes us about a week and a half to get everything mowed,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, we have to mow it again.â&#x20AC;? The last stop on the tour was the arboretum. He explained it primarily features native trees, which will be identified and labelled in the future. He pointed out the hilly area in the center of the arboretum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That lump right there is the result of Shoppers Drug Mart and the North Grenville Municipal Centre,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The soil was put there to make way for the footings of those structures. It was sculpted to the shape it is now.â&#x20AC;? The arboretum also features a stone dust walking path and flagstone gardens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to use the gardens for native healing plants,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. He explained the FFC is also looking at putting in a flagstone base for a shelter and benches.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are developing it as a nice recreation area for people to use,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. He explained the arboretum has pitch pine, which is rare in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a maple grove that will be named after Adam Shewchuk, a founding member of the FFC and longtime director, who passed away recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was instrumental to the FFC,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell. The FFC is seeking community input for the development of the arboretum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more we involve the community, the better,â&#x20AC;? said John Wilson, FFCC board president. Wilson explained the FFCC is putting together a four to five year plan for the facility. Patchell said he wanted to make it very clear the FFCC is financially supported by the nursery, not the municipality, as is the common misconception. He explained a number of trees on the FFC property, including the wind breaks at the front of the property along Highway 43 and along Veterans Way, are beginning to die and will need to be replaced soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We grow about 45 different native species of trees,â&#x20AC;? said Patchell.

Perhaps I was a little hasty. Angie and I are classic baby boomers. We are still digging in the dirt but a lot of our generation are downsizing, moving to apartments or to retirement homes. They no longer have anywhere to garden. Nurseries and garden centres are feeling the pinch. But there is the echo generation that are swiftly approaching the mid-life demographic. If the growers and garden centres can just hang on a few years, there may be hope. A new generation beginning to grow. Tonight I went into the garden and harvested all the veggies for supper. No chemicals, no additives. Stuff grown with compost and rainwater and sometimes even weeding. I have been freezing beans and tomatoes, pickling beets, shredding horseradish ( under water) and giving away apples and potatoes. Such bounty. And then there are the eggs. The hens are so happy to be out free ranging. They follow us all over the garden when we ( Angie ) is weeding. Every morning there are four or five eggs in the nesting boxes. Huge eggs with bright orange yolks that sit up defiantly in the frying pan. Retirement is not an end to work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beginning of new work. The work I want to do. When I get the first cheque from Canada Pension Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to buy a bottle of wine and buy some seeds. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Spin, spin, spin – no one wins

et’s do a dangerous thing – talk politics. It seems some Conservative MPs are peddling politically incorrect surveys, asking Canadians ‘Should refugees get gold-plated dental, vision and drug benefits?’ The words adjacent to the selection boxes read ‘No! It isn’t fair to give better benefits to refugees than Canadians’ or ‘Yes! Give Refugees better government benefits than Canadian citizens.’ First of all, in the interest of full disclosure, this particular survey was supposedly sent out by a Conservative incumbent running in an Ontario riding back in 2012 and was recently drudged up to lend a new angle to the ongoing Syrian refugee issue. These alleged surveys, conducted by Conservative MPs, hit on a sore point for many Canadians, who live without dental, vision and drug benefits. I’ve had conversations with people who said its ‘ridiculous’ that people coming into Canada get better treatment than the people who have lived here all their lives. I understand the argument, 100 per cent. However, when I see a survey like that, I don’t think ‘unfair,’ I think ‘stupid.’ The issue at hand is not that refugees and immigrants are provided dental, vision and drug benefits. The issue is that not all Canadians are. And people are right. That is ‘ridiculous.’ Every Canadian citizen should have dental, vision and drug benefits. I lived without benefits for five years, avoiding going to the dentist because of the cost. By the time I got benefits, I had developed four cavities. Imagine how many I would have 10 years from now if I didn’t have benefits. Imagine if I

love the rain. Maybe because I was born in April. I never wake up to a rainy day and feel down. To me, a rainy day means snuggling indoors with a good book and a nice cup of coffee or glass of wine. It’s a day to get indoor work done without feeling guilty that you aren’t outside in the sun, because there is no sun. I usually spend it writing, reading, watching videos and doing yoga. Sometimes closets get organized, floors get scrubbed and the basement gets tidied up. The day is always well spent. When I lived in Asia I loved being outdoors in the rain. It was warm and it seemed to clear the pollution from the air momentarily. It smelled sweet. The doorman of the hotel next to my apartment didn’t like seeing me outside in the rain, however. He used to chase me down the street with an umbrella, shouting that the acid rain would make me lose all my hair. Cattle don’t mind the rain. They know when it’s coming, and they prepare for it. I remember as a kid when we rode past a field of cattle, we would count how many were lying

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

couldn’t afford to take my kids to see the dentist. The fact Canadian families live without access to dental, vision and drug benefits is an outrage. People struggle to get by. Paying for a $700 dental bill isn’t feasible for a lot of Canadians, including myself. Health is a human right. Let me be clear, every man, woman and child on earth is entitled to good health. Saying that it’s unfair for refugees to have access to a human right because not all Canadians do is a clear ploy to draw attention away from the real issue. Why don’t all Canadians have these benefits? The survey should read ‘Should all Canadians get gold-plated dental, vision and drug benefits?’ Then the only selection box required would be ‘Yes! We would love to have access to necessary health care!’ Politicians continue to baffle me with their methods. Rather than address the real issue, they spin it to distract voters by making them angry or afraid. I understand the cost of providing dental, vision and drug benefits to all Canadians would impact taxes. However, there is also the option of regulating costs for these services. While the government is at it, perhaps they could work on regulating the cost of veterinary services as well. Just saying.

Summer winds down As summer comes to an end, take the time to enjoy the last few afternoons by the creek.

Cows don’t mind the rain I’m glad they have had more comfortable days recently because they have been doing a lot of complaining about the heat. When you have cattle, one of your primary battles is a war against muck. You could lose a boot – or a small animal – in that stuff.

wing. They are happy the heat has subsided now. I watch as the ten calves file past me, en route to the salt lick. I can almost touch them across the fence but they stay just out of my reach. The little white-faced male who needed help when he was born is not so white-faced now, having been under his muddy mother’s udder for the season. Wow, that last sentence was a tongue twister or something. I watch as the bull calf sidles up to the stable where the Farmer has left the radio on for the turkeys. It keeps them calm. I peek into the pen and there they are, each one a twenty-pound white feathered marshmallow, tucked into the

hay. The calf appears to have his ear cocked, listening to the music. Soon we will be saying goodbye to the turkeys and some of our calves, if not all of them. The price of beef is pretty high right now and we normally sell the males, at least. It’s a good thing they aren’t all that friendly because I have a bad habit of getting attached. We have one bare tree and another wearing red so it will soon be time to collect a wheelbarrow of windfall from the apple tree. I will present it to the cattle as a special treat this weekend. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Letter to the Editor

Let’s talk about drones

DEAR EDITOR:

The word ‘drone’ has been used heavily in the news for the past several years, typically to describe the autonomous UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) used by the American military. At some point, however, the word was adopted by media outlets to describe all manners of UAVs- from the photography oriented quadcopters, to fixed-wing surveying planes. As such, I will henceforth use the term ‘drone’ to cover any variety of UAV, as an attempt to keep things simple. The concept of remotely controlled vehicles isn’t relatively new – there have been RC cars, helicopters, planes and boats since the beginning of the 20th century. So what is it that has caused such a recent buzz around drones domestically? I would say interest in the industry can be attributed to two things; the rise of their commercial value and reckless consumer pilots. To touch on the former, the civilian drone industry is projected to be valued

near $1.5 billion by 2020, with a 19 per cent annual growth rate between 2015 and 2020 (Business Insider, 2015). With advancements in payload, battery and GPS technology, the growing applicability and decreasing costs associated with drones have spurred great interest within many different fields. When one thinks of the drone itself, detached from any payload, it is merely a tool — a means of efficiently extending our access to perspectives that were previously unattainable. However, when combined with various cameras and sensors, drones can collect a wealth of information that can be of great use in intelligent decisionmaking. Typically, the drone will fly along a pre-programmed route and collect geo-spatial information in the form of visible-light, thermal or infrared images. These images are then stitched together into a much larger image, displaying the entire area that was flown (known as an ‘orthomosaic’). Current applications for this method are found

in the farming, mining, surveying, solar, conservation and planning industries. Other uses include aerial photography and videography, which rely more on a manual pilot to guide the camera to where they see fit for the project. Now, this is where more and more problems are arising for the industry. With the increasing availability of affordable consumer drones, there has been an increasing number of reckless individuals with access to one. Individuals who don’t respect the privacy of others, don’t have an interest in learning the current government regulations surrounding common airspace and who fly in

dangerous situations without any prior experience. Unfortunately for those who do take great care to maintain a positive public image of the industry, the negative examples do take their toll. For example, every U.S. National Park has temporarily prohibited the use of drones after a handful of individuals became a nuisance to other visitors, and even some of the wildlife. Until government regulations are updated to weed out carefree pilots, these reckless fliers will continue to negatively impact the publics’ opinion of the industry as a whole. With all of that being said, the problems are really only found within

the ‘manual-control’ realm. The portion of the industry using pre-programmed routes and plans will rarely (if ever) come under such scrutiny, as there is much more control, thought and care put into each and every mission. There is a place for drones in the very near future, and their benefit to many fields will increase significantly. I ask only that you keep an open mind when discussing civilian drone applications, and to keep an eye on the sky - you may start seeing them sooner than you think.

Public Notice Eastern Mainline Project Route Update

Proposed Route

Existing Compressor Station

Existing Natural Gas Pipeline

Existing Compressor Stations (additional compression is proposed to be added)

Highway 401

Iroquois Markham

Brockville Port Hope

Quinte West

Greater Napanee Kingston

TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to provide an update about changes to the Eastern Mainline Project that proposes to add new natural gas pipeline and compression facilities to our existing Canadian Mainline system in southern Ontario. New commitments with natural gas shippers, including Enbridge and Union Gas, have resulted in additional pipeline requirements in the City of Quinte West and the Townships of ElizabethtownKitley, Augusta and Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. This also means that the new pipeline originally proposed in the Municipality of South Dundas is no longer required. There are no anticipated changes to proposed compression facilities along the route.

Drones are becoming more popular every day.

We welcome your comments and concerns Email joe.morin@metroland.com

Upcoming open houses – November 2015 While we continue engaging municipalities, landowners and other stakeholders along the proposed route, we are planning to host open houses in communities with additional pipeline requirements to share information and receive input. As part of our ongoing engagement program and to provide updated routing information, we are also planning to host open houses in Oshawa and Clarington. Open house details will be provided by email, through local newspaper and radio advertisements and will also be available on our website. Amendment to Project Application and new Project timeline TransCanada plans to file an Amendment to the Project Application with our regulator, the National Energy Board (NEB), detailing these changes later this year. We currently anticipate starting construction in early 2018, with facilities in-service by early 2019, pending the NEB review process and approval.

Committee of the Whole discusses minor variances and nominations Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The following is a list of briefs from the North Grenville committee of the whole meeting on Sept. 8. Public meeting for minor variance A public meeting was held to consider a minor variance application, to increase the maximum size of an accessory structure, for a property located at 1 Jean Marc Drive in Oxford Mills. “The property is located in a subdivision,” said Phil Mosher, planner. “It’s a large lot for a subdivision, roughly .21 hectares, on a corner lot.” He explained the applicant is asking for an extra 100 square feet, for the detached accessory structure. “An extra 100 square feet is not significant for that area,” he said. A letter of no objection was received from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. The committee of adjustment approved the application.

Scotch Line Road, to decrease the required setback from a provincially significant wetland, from 120 meters to 60 meters, to permit the construction of a single detached dwelling on the property. Mosher explained the property is roughly 1 hectare in size and zoned rural residential. He said the property owner had to submit an environmental impact statement, which was reviewed by municipal staff and the RVCA. In the opinion of the biologist who conducted the research for the EIS, there would no biological damage as a result of the setback decrease. The Committee of Adjustment approved the application.

He explained the municipality puts forth a nomination every year. “Nominations are reviewed by UCLG staff and a committee, to determine who wins the award,” said Symon. The ceremony, with all nominees in attendance, will be held at the counties in the fall. “We won one year with the nomination of KDH (Kemptville District Hospital),” said Symon. “We also won anMunicipality supports nomination other year with the nomination of Don of Bob Besharah for Bill Thake Me- Munz.

CAO clarifies ‘inaccurate’ information in OMCA open letter Carre said the municipality received an open letter from the Oxford Mills Community Association on Sept. 3 (published in the Sept. 10 edition of the Kemptville Advance), stating their desire to have an answer pertaining to their Expression of Interest to purchase Maplewood Hall by the end of the month. “The letter will be photocopied and included in the package for council’s review next week,” said Carre. He said he wished to point out inaccurate information in the letter. “I wish to clarify that when we met with the OMCA, it came up they were led to believe they received (insurance) coverage through the municipality,” said Carre. “We explained, based on information received through our insurer, what qualified as a committee of council. “The OMCA chose not to pursue meeting the qualifications.” He said the OMCA then sought insurance independent of the municipality. “I wanted to make that very clear,” said Carre. He explained the OMCA didn’t wish to pursue becoming a committee of

Establishing and regulating bylaw changes Paul Hutt, North Grenville fire chief, explained recent changes to the establishing and regulating bylaw for the service. “This is a living document,” said Hutt. “As the service grows, it needs to change.” He explained the addition of the deputy fire chief position had to be inserted into the bylaw, which also reflected the satellite station in Oxford Mills that it utilized by the NGFS. “The language was also vague, in terms of service levels,” said Hutt. “We added language reflective of the service.” The changes identified an auxiliary and honorarium member of the service. The changes to the bylaw were recommended to council for adoption.

The Merrickville Fire Department pig roast fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 12, was a huge success – surpassing the goal of $10,000. The funds raised are being used to retrofit the MFD bush truck, fondly nicknamed Earl, to make it an off-road response vehicle all year round. The pig roast was held at Mainstreet Restaurant in Merrickville. A number of local businesses contributed to the silent auction for the event, which also featured live entertainment by local band ‘Off the Cuff ’ and a dunk tank. Sponsors helped cover the majority of expenses for the event, ensuring funds raised went towards the truck. Rain didn’t keep attendees from feasting on the two roasted pigs, prepared by master chef Christian Lorie. Above, Greg Neelin, brother of Mainstreet Restaurant owner Mike Neelin, stands beside one of the roasting pigs. Below, from left, MFD Chief Bob Foster, along with volunteer fire fighters Martin Cathrae, Bob Knox and Nick Wilson.

In Thunder Bay, Ontario, recently, while giving a talk, I suddenly found my mouth watering. I mentioned that I was just 150 miles away from Quetico Park where I had spent two months alone years ago doing fish research. I said that the highest priced meal in the world could not compete with a yellow pickerel cooked over a camp fire. Which now brings me to the health benefits of eating fish today. We are often told we should eat fish as they’re a good choice for lean Dr. Gifford-Jones protein. People in Iceland eat a whopping 220 pounds of fish a year. The average North American eats a paltry 16 pounds annually, including fish sticks! This difference is in part due to the current worry about potential dangers. For instance, mercury accumulates in the lean tissue of some fish and it can cross the placental barrier during pregnancy. So too much mercury can cause fetal brain damage. In adults, excessive amounts can injure the heart. Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are found in the fatty tissue of fish and animal examination shows they can cause cancer. Researchers are concerned that these agents may be carcinogenic in humans and also trigger neurological problems. But there are still many health benefits from eating fish. Two major research groups, the Harvard School of Public Health and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) analyzed the pros and cons of fish in the diet. Harvard researchers found adequate evidence that eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), two omega-3 fatty acids in fish, were important for good vision, the immune response, normal skin physiology and for fetal and infant development. And aboriginals who have a high dietary intake of fish have less heart disease. Another study reported in Archives of Ophthalmology showed that women who ate fish three times a week had a 42 percent lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people. A study at the University of Pittsburgh should also prompt more people to visit fish counters. MRI scans of the brains of those eating broiled or baked fish, but not fried, had greater volumes of gray matter in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes. This matter is responsible for memory and learning. These are the areas severely affected in Alzheimer’s disease. So although there is some contamination from eating fish, the benefit far outweighs the small risk. A healthy diet should include two three-ounce servings of fish a week. One cautionary note for pregnant and nursing mothers is that mercury is more likely to be present in the flesh of large long-living fish that prey on smaller short-living ones. So mothers should decline mackerel, shark, swordfish and tilefish also known as golden bass. But smaller fish contain large amounts of the fatty acid DHA essential for fetal development. Pregnant women should therefore eat 12 ounces of other types of fish and shellfish each week. The rest of us should know that not all fish are created equal. For instance, a three-ounce serving of farmed salmon contains over 2,000 milligrams (mg) of omega-3 fats. But the same amount of shrimp eaten more than any other type of seafood by North Americans has only 250 mg., catfish 150mg. and lobster 71 mg. Arctic char provide more vitamin D than any other fish, with scallops a close second. Oysters are the highest in vitamin B12 and iron. You can’t beat tuna for its high potassium content and for calcium no fish can match crawfish. And if you’re looking for fish with high amounts of magnesium, which protects against fatal cardiac arrhythmias, order tuna or crawfish. But if you suffer from “Cholesterolphobia” don’t order crawfish, scallops or arctic char. Looking at the total picture, eating fish still provides a healthy meal. But although fish is good for us, humans have not been so kind to fish. We’re continuing to pollute their environment and fish stocks are falling. Do I have a last request before I leave this planet? Yes, it’s a Heaven with lots of lakes loaded with yellow pickerel. I hope the Almighty is listening. R0013465421/0917

‘Losing Creativity’ takes home $1,000 grand prize at MyView Film Festival Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Above pictured are, from left, Rebecca Shams of the health unit; Julia Friesen and Lexi Lyons, grand prize winners; Chris Cochrane of Video Communications, sponsor of the event; Morgan Smith, director of Choices; Alexander Hall, star of Choices; Joshua Ekers, producer of Choices; Theresa Graham director and producer of Don’t Judge and John Barclay, one of the organizers. To the right, the film ‘Losing Creativity,’ directed and produced by Lexi Lyons and Julia Friesen, took home the grand prize of $1,000 from Video Communications. Kortney Barton. Choices was about a teenager being bullied and physically tormented by his peers. He considered killing himself, but decided to seek help at a guidance centre, which got him on the right path of finding healthy ways to deal with the bullying. It ends with the line, “Life is what we make of it.” What We Don’t Know is a documentary, featuring individuals being questioned about equality between men and

women in film. It ends with the line, “Talk about it. It’s in our hands.” The Neighbours was about two families living beside each other - one religious and the other not – gossiping about each other. The winner of best foreign film was, What We Don’t Know, by Barton, who was not present for the awards. The prize was a medal and a certificate. The three finalists for best overall film were: Don’t Judge by Theresa Graham of Kemptville; Losing Creativity,

Individuality is the product of creativity – fitting the mold causes social stagnation. That was the message in ‘Losing Creativity,’ directed and produced by Lexi Lyons and Julia Friesen, this year’s winners of the MyView Film Festival, which was held on Sept. 13 at the Kemptville Youth Centre. Lyons and Friesen, both of Westport, took home a $1,000 prize from Video Communications, the title sponsor for the event. “We all know youth are an important part of the community, but they are a vital part of our future,” said Rebecca Shams, of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. “This is a great way to showcase youth talent and show them we’re listening to them as well.” She explained all film submissions were judged heavily on the message, in addition to production quality and entertainment value. “Thanks to our partners for empowering youth and giving them a voice,” said Shams. A total of 10 films were submitted for this year’s festival, which included a category for best foreign film. The three finalists were: Choices, produced by Joshua Ekers and directed by Morgan Smith; What We Don’t Know, by Kortney Barton and The Neighbours by

and Shadows: A Short Film, by Liam Ryan, also of Kemptville. Don’t Judge starts with a girl talking about an abusive relationship she endured for two years because she was afraid of talking about it; she didn’t want to be judged. Another girl talks about how focusing on looks, to make people like her, caused a loss of self, which she had to work to regain. Voice-overs throughout the film talk about not allowing fear of judgment control you and not being afraid to speak up. It ends with the

line: “Don’t judge. Get to know me.” Losing Creativity starts off with a bunch of teenagers in a room – scarves covering their mouths. A voice-over explains people are trying proper responses to various situations in life; being prepared but always feeling like something was wrong. The voice explains everyone is made to fit into the same mold, but the world is not black and white. It says the loss of creativity is devastating. “We will be the change,” rings out before one of the teenagers removes the scarf and begins to play music, write a story and paint a picture. The film ends with the girls talking to the other teenagers and them removing their scarves, followed by the word “create” spray painted on a wall. Shadows is about a young man who lives an isolated life; eating alone, sitting by himself, walking home alone before crying on his mother’s shoulder. He then goes to school and bullies another kid, telling him to kill himself. He runs away and the sound of sirens echoes in the background. It ends with the message: “The stigma of mental health is perpetual, until you say something.” Chris Cochrane, of Video Communications, and Shams, presented the awards. Ryan won third prize, a GoPro Camera from TV Cogeco, another sponsor. Graham took home second prize, an iPad from TV Cogeco.

Kemptville 73’s open season at home Brian Wilson

On Friday, Sept. 11, the Pembroke Lumber Kings dropped in for a tilt against the Kemptville 73’s. Being the season home opener, there were several parts to the ceremonies. First, the entire team and coaching staff were introduced to the crowd. This was followed by an acknowledgement of the tragedy of 9/11, 14 years ago, with a moment of silence. Then another acknowledgement. This one was of thanks and happiness. Long time volunteer, Johnny Guy, was congratulated for his dedication to the team. Johnny joined the team in 1975 and eventually wound up as the go to equipment guy. He has been a part of the team through the Junior B years and moved into the same role with the Junior A team. This marks his 40th year as a 73’s volunteer. Now to the game at hand. It took more than half the first period for a goal when Pembroke broke the stalemate. And there was no more scoring in the frame. With just over a minute left in the second, Kemptville tied the

Jason Tackett scored his second goal of the young season with Dean Kiriacou and Matt Tugnutt assisting. With neither team appearing to want the upper hand, the 1-1 tie continued through most of the third period. Then, the unthinkable happened. A defensive lapse in the Kings

end turned into a 4-2 rush on the 73’s goalie. Pembroke capitalized on this chance and took a 2-1 lead with 23 seconds left in the game. Kemptville goalie, Nic Hodgins, was named the second star of the game in the 2-1 loss. On Sunday, Sept. 13, the unbeaten Hawkesbury Hawks came

to town, looking to make it six wins in a row to start the season. Owen Guy scored his first goal of the season at the 7:22 mark of the first period. Matt Tugnutt and Jake Gaudet earned the assists. Four and

a half minutes later, the Hawks tied it at 1-1. One minute into the second saw Adam Alavi score to give Kemptville the lead. He was set up by Quinn Wichers and Jason Tackett. But they were unable to escape the second with a lead as Hawkesbury tied it up again. With the game tied at 2-2, one was wondering how the third would play out. No one was expecting this kind of finish. The Hawks jumped back into the lead early in the frame, to make it 3-2. Thirty seconds later Alex Row evened the score for Kemptville. The goal was his second of the year and it was set up by Tackett. One minute later, Guy scored his second of the game from Gaudet and Liam Watson. A minute later, Tackett added another, this time from Alavi and Row. The Hawks got one back to draw within one, making it 5-4. But Kemptville was not done. Victor Tracy made it 6-4. Tugnutt and Guy picked up the helpers. With Hawkesbury pressing and trying everything to get back in it, it was Matt Tugnutt who was the star. With the Hawks holding a 6 on 4 advantage, Dean Kiriacou broke up a passing play and Tug-

nutt got control of the puck and found the empty net to make 7-4. When the 73’s drew another penalty, the Hawks went back to their 6 on 4 plan. It didn’t work this time either. Row and Tugnutt stole the puck and carried it into the Hawkesbury end. Tugnutt had three attempts at it before he buried it to make an 8-4 final. Matt Tugnutt and Owen Guy were selected as stars of the game. Six members of the Kemptville team had multiple points. After five games, the 73’s record stands at 3 wins and 2 losses. This week’s action has Kemptville visiting Nepean on Wednesday, Sept. 16. The team returns home for a match with the Cumberland Grads on Friday, Sept. 18 in North Grenville. Opening face off is at 7:30. On Sunday, Sept. 20, Kemptville travels to Carleton Place to battle the Canadians. Support your local team. Come on out! Excitement on ice! See you at the rink!

Leeds-Grenville MPP proud to take on new responsibilities as deputy leader Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark will be taking on new responsibilities at Queen’s Park now that the Legislative Assembly’s fall session opened Monday, Sept. 14. Clark has been appointed Deputy Leader by Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown and will also serve as Critic for Tourism, Culture and Sport in Brown’s shadow cabinet. “I’m proud of the confidence

Patrick has placed in me to work alongside him and our Caucus as we continue to hold the government to account and put forward our ideas to get Ontario back on track,” said Clark. “As Deputy Leader, I will have a great opportunity to continue to play a key role in raising the issues that matter to Ontarians and the residents I serve here in Leeds-Grenville in the Legislature. I will also be work-

ing hard to support Patrick in his tireless efforts to connect with people across the province and learn about their priorities.” Clark said soaring hydro rates, the Hydro One fire sale, loss of manufacturing jobs, threats to health care services, a recent credit downgrade and concerns over the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan are among the issues he will have on the front burner. “Those are the concerns I’ve

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, left, and MPP Sylvia Jones listen as Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown speaks during a press conference announcing they have been named Deputy Leaders of the party last week. Clark was also named Critic for Tourism, Culture and Sport in Brown’s shadow cabinet.

Hillier welcomes role as new justice watchdog Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington, expressed his satisfaction and enthusiasm for his appointment Sept. 10 as critic for the Attorney General of Ontario.  “I look forward to scrutinizing the administration of justice in Ontario by the Wynne Liberal government, and holding the decision-makers to account,” remarked Hillier. “I look forward to continuing to fight for the security of individuals and their property, and the principles that the people of Ontario hold dear and expect in a free and just society.” Hillier will also sit on the Standing Committee for Justice, and serve as chair on a newly minted Red Tape Review Panel created by the Leader of Ontario’s Official Opposition Leader, Patrick Brown. The Wynne government has embarked upon an aggressive ‘activist center’ agenda including proposals to limit access to the

courts through AMPs (Administrative Monetary Penalties), reform of court security, institutionalizing ‘carding’ or ‘street checks’, along with limits on the use of the civil courts, just to name a few. “I will be a vigilant and determined watchdog as critic of the Attorney General, to safeguard the public interest in the development of potential policies that may limit our freedoms and access to justice,” stated Hillier. A longtime advocate for, and proponent of, individual rights and responsibility, Hillier is not a newcomer to matters of justice. He was one of the only Members of the Legislative Assembly who was openly and publicly critical of both levels of government for their actions during the G20 conference in Toronto, and has a record that precedes his political career for standing up against injustice, especially when it is created by government policies and regulations.

“The purpose of the law and our institutions must be a focus on the prevention of injustice, yet increasingly we are imposed upon by new laws that are restrictive or harmful for many in order to benefit a favoured few,” said Hillier. “Government’s role is to secure our personal freedoms, not restrict them.”   Hillier recently served dual roles as Critic for Labour and Research & Innovation, and also had served as critic for Northern Development, Mines and Forestry, and Rural Affairs. During his terms he has also served on the Standing Committees for Estimates, Regulations and Private Bills, Legislative Assembly, Government Agencies, as well as the Select Committee on Sexual Violence and Harassment, and the all-party Parliamentary Liaison Committee during the last minority parliament. Submitted by the office of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington MP Randy Hillier.

heard from people all summer and it’s time for the Premier and her government to understand we need to take a new direction,” explained Clark, adding, “Our Leader has been clear: we’ll work with the government on ideas if they are in the best interests of Ontario families and will return

our province to prosperity.” Regarding his new critic role, Clark said it’s a natural fit given the area he represents. “Leeds-Grenville is a prime destination for visitors to Ontario and the jobs and investment tourism supports makes it a critical sector of our local economy,”

said Clark. “I’m eager to work with local operators and those across the province to encourage the government to do more to promote tourism in Ontario.” Submitted by the office of Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark.

Retirement lived in phases Manage Your Money

The retirement you choose will be unique to you, and that’s as it should be – but in a general way, all retirements travel through three phases. Phase 1: Figuring it out Becoming retired is a change and while you might have dreamt about it, you really won’t know what it will be like until you experience it. Much of who we are comes from work – our sense of accomplishment, our status and even our social connections – but the shift to retirement may mean figuring out who we truly are and learning how to be content through many retirement years. Before you retire, ‘try on’ different potential retirement lifestyles and chat with other retired friends about their retirement journey that may lead to discovering something new that you had not considered. Financially, you’re likely to spend more during your early retirement years as you try out new things – so budget for these additional expenses but also remember that some fulfilling things (such as volunteering) are not expensive and provide a strong sense of self worth. Phase 2: Settling in At this point, you’ll know exactly what you want out of retirement – and to be sure you’ll enjoy it, always take care of your health. Financial planning becomes easier because most of your expenses are stable and predictable – but ensure you plan for the unexpected like a sudden health issue or major repair bill and periodically review your spending

Plan to Dream. Learn. Smile. Succeed. Invest. Nurture. Leave to others.

plan to ensure you’ve captured all your costs, including the effects of inflation. Phase 3: Winding down In this phase, folks usually slow down due to declining health or finances. You’ll find yourself thinking more and more about the financial and other legacies you’ll leave. Do what you can to maintain and improve your health – but be aware that health care costs can be significant. Although Canada’s health care program is very good, you’ll likely want to enhance your control over your own health – so be sure to understand your health care options and choices, especially what would happen if you become chronically or acutely ill. These three phases of retirement aren’t necessarily linear – for example, if a significant health event led to retirement, you may live for a time like you’re in Phase 3 but with recovery, move back to Phase 1. And keep in mind that your spouse may not always be in the same phase as you. To be sure you live your retirement dreams through all the years – and phases – of your retirement, discuss your retirement plans with your professional advisor.

Lanark County OPP to conduct distracted driving focused patrol Sept. 18 The Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in partnership with the OPP Highway Safety Division will be conducting a focused patrol targeting distracted driving on Friday, Sept. 18. A focused patrol is a detachmentbased initiative aimed to identify community trafﬁc and crime hot spots, which enables the organization to better reduce crime and victimization by putting the right people, in the right places, at the right times.

Distracted driving refers to all forms of distracted or inattentive driving, such as adjusting a vehicle’s entertainment or GPS unit or stereo, eating and drinking, using a handheld device, self-grooming or tending to children in the backseat, etc. Drivers need to remember that the true danger to public safety lies in the distraction, not the device. Lanark County has seen an increase of inattentive driver related motor vehicle collisions. In 2008, 148 motor vehi-

cle collisions were a result of inattentive drivers and that number has increased to 202 in 2014. Despite education and enforcement initiatives drivers continue to drive while distracted. Between 20102014 Lanark County OPP laid 619 distracted driving charges, and as of Sept. 1 have laid 103 charges this year. The OPP is committed to raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and want to remind drivers of the new penalties that go with it.

On Sept. 1, the penalty for distracted Leave the device alone and don’t be a driving rose to $490 and three demerit distracted driver. points.

Supervised alternative learning program expanded throughout school board After launching a successful pilot at select sites in February, trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board voted Sept. 9 to fully implement the Supervised Alternative Learning (SAL) program at schools throughout the board. Initially delivered last year through the TR Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education, the program will now be offered to students in all elementary, intermediate and secondary schools, said trustee Donald Cram, after

the board approved a policy implementing an expanded program. SAL is designed to provide students aged 14 to 17 struggling with attendance and academics with an alternative educational experience. The program allows students to stay involved with extracurricular activities at their school, while working on an individualized plan to help them progress toward a high school diploma or other educational or life goals. It encourages students to continue earning aca-

demic credits while exploring alternatives to traditional learning until they are able to reintegrate and re-engage with regular school programming. “It’s for kids facing personal issues who for whatever reason cannot ﬁt in with the normal school programming,” said Cram, a member of the board’s SAL committee. “Up until now there hasn’t really been any programming for them. It’s a way of keeping them in their home school by having a specialized program set up for them so

they don’t necessarily have to attend their home school in the normal way.” Students can qualify for the program due to a range of issues from mental health problems to family challenges. The program permits students to participate on a full or part-time basis and continue their education through: • Enrollment in a credit course • Enrollment in a non-credit life skills course or other non-credit course • Preparation for employment or devel-

Connections offers prenatal, postnatal support to Lanark County families Maureen Hampton

The following is the first installment in a bi-weekly series on Connections, which offers a range of valuable services to Lanark County families. Connections, housed under Lanark Community Programs, a part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services, began in 1993 as community-based home visiting program. Building on this, a volunteer birth companion and playgroup program soon followed. Agency success and participant feedback brought attention to the need for additional support; a prenatal drop-in program was added in 1996. Today, Connections is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community. Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a cooperative effort involving the family, agency services and the community. Connections has four main core programs; the Birth Companion program, Good Food for a Healthy Baby program, he Home Visiting program and the Parent and Children’s Play Groups program. These programs help to reduce isolation and increase parenting competency. Prenatal support reduces the risk of low birth weights and increases breastfeeding rates. Individual support gives families a sense of security know-

ing they have someone in the community they can count on and trust resulting in a more positive, less stressful household environment. Practical help, such as food, prenatal vitamins, transportation and advocacy is a major component of the Connections program. This kind of help reduces stress for the parents, leading to better attachment and parent/child interaction. At times when funding allows, we offer parent education workshops such as Bounce Back and Thrive, SOS or Nobody’s Perfect. Through the summer we offer a School Readiness program, a group for preschool children going to school in September. Through donation, and much hard work, we offer a Backto-School program in late August. This program gives students in need, a backpack or school bag, lunch kit and school supplies. Connections is a very unique nonprofit agency. We offer not only a variety of support but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops or they can use more than one program at a time. All participation is voluntary and is parent directed. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds/Grenville. There are no fees for our programs; core funding comes from the federal government, Public Health Agency of Canada (Community Action Program

for Children and the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program). At Connections our goal is to make a difference in the lives of the families we serve. We believe by supporting pregnant women and their partners, they will feel better about themselves, their birth experience and their babies. By supporting a woman, or a woman and her partner through labour may shorten delivery, reducing complications and the need for medical intervention. We embrace the idea that contributing to a parent’s physical and mental health, one can positively influence the health of their child. Supporting parents strengthens and increases attachment, parenting

skills and contributes greatly to a child’s physical, cognitive and emotional well being. Our slogan at Connections is ‘Real Help...Right Here...Right Now.’ Our staff feel privileged to work for such an innovative agency, in our own communities, serving the families we work with. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help. Please call for more information about our programming at 613 257-2779 ext. 100 and ask for Leigh. Maureen Hampton is a staff member at Connections.

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

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

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

RTO/ERO’s Recommendations

q That the Prime Minister con-

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

One-two punch at Station Theatre with Movie Nights, music series Excitement over the Station Theatre’s 2015-16 Movie Nights season has been building all month as patrons anticipate the two classic Stanley Kubrick films to be shown on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19. The highlight, on Saturday, is a rare screening of Kubrick’s famous The Shining (1980), a personal favourite of Robert Fontaine, CBC’s “All In A Day” film critic, who selected the film for your enjoyment. As a bonus, Robert will be in attendance to introduce The Shining and host a Q & A session to complete the evening. Regular listeners to his show know they are in for a very entertaining evening. When The Shining was first seen by critics, most expected a standard fright fest based on a Stephen King best seller; what they got was a highly original film – starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duval – that has sparked speculation and discussion ever since. It ranks as one the “must see” classics, a thrill for veteran film goers to see again and an opportunity for new generations of viewers to appreciate what all the buzz has been about. The opening night film, 2001: A Space Odyssey – is the runaway winner chosen in a recent poll of our public. This 1968 classic, produced and directed by Kubrick (the famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke co-wrote the screenplay), follows a voyage to Jupiter with a smart computer called Hal after the discovery of a mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution. Years ahead of its time, the film

has been universally cited for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight and its pioneering special effects. It is regarded by film goers and critics alike as one of the best movies of all time. To help kick off its new film season, the Station Theatre will be offering a free Reward Card at the ticket wicket. When presented at the time of purchase, the Reward Card will be stamped by the ticket seller. There is no expiration date, and when seven stamps are accumulated for seven purchased tickets, the next film is free. As a special bonus, patrons attending both Kubrick films will get a third Reward Card bonus stamp free – a great start towards a free movie later on. Tickets for the Kubrick Classics are $10 for adults, $5 for students (with ID), sold for cash only at the door. The movies start at 7.30 PM; the Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave. On Saturday, Sept. 26, the audience is in for another great treat with the return of live music to the stage of the Station Theatre in the form of a musical show called Tales and Tunes. The NorthWinds Brass Quintet has teamed up with the Ottawa Story Tellers to present a delightful evening of music along with stories from the pen of the great Canadian humourist Stephen Leacock. Started in 1990s, the popular brass quintet has evolved into a cohesive group of musicians that delight in playing venues around the area: Martin Bender, Corey Rempel, Al Ridgway, Dean Tronsgard and Rick

Rangno perform on a variety of brass instruments. Patrons will remember Rick Rangno for his stellar work on the trumpet and flugelhorn when the Robert Fontaine Quartet performed in Smiths Falls in the spring. The Story Tellers began as a group organizing story swaps on an open stage; the tradition has continued to the present day. For this performance, in the Tales component, story tellers Gail Anglin and Tom Lips will be recounting the wittiest and most profound of Leacock’s thoughts, drawing from his vast repertoire of books and essays. At one time Leacock was rated the foremost humourist in the English-speaking world. Come and hear the sparkling wit on which that reputation was justly based. Tales and Tunes is a one night stand on Sept. 26, with the show starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25, including a complimentary refreshment; there will be a cash wine bar before and after the show. Call the Station Theatre at 613-2830300 for details and to order by credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online at smithsfallstheatre.com (Paypal/ Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows by going to our website or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre). Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre.

Birding open houses at Almonte lagoons Every autumn, tens of thousands of shorebirds migrate through our area from nesting grounds in the high Arctic. Hundreds stop off to feed and ‘recharge’ at the Almonte lagoons area behind the water treatment plant on Wolf Grove Road. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalist’s (MVFN) birding committee invites you to attend one of four birding open houses at the Almonte lagoons observation tower. MVFN built and continue to maintain an observation tower which overlooks the lagoons, as well as a short trail into the tower off Ramsay Concession 8. For 15 years now, birders from all over the prov-

ince and beyond have made this location, a prime viewing spot for shorebirds and other species. While walking the short 200-metre trail into the tower one can also see many fall warbler and sparrow species. The open houses will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. on four consecutive Wednesdays: Sept. 16, Sept. 23, Sept. 30, and Oct. 7. Walk in and view a multitude of shore birds in migration. On each of these occasions, you will be greeted at the trail start by an MVFN member, who will point out directions to the tower. An expert birder with spotting scope will be on site at the tower to give all who attend an

opportunity to learn the identity of the different birds and a bit about them. Birding experts will include Ray Holland, Ken Allison and Mike Jaques. Directions to the tower: From Almonte, take County Road 16 (Wolf Grove Road) towards Middleville, 2 km. Turn right (north) onto Ramsay Concession 8 at the Auld Kirk Church and Cemetery. Trail entrance is on Ramsay Concession 8, across the road from Auld Kirk Cemetery. For further information, please call or email Cliff Bennett at 613-256-5013 or bennett@magma.ca.

December 11, 1921 – Twin Elm, Nepean Township, Ontario September 2, 2015 – Calgary, Alberta Jim beloved husband of the late Mildred Mary (nee Strong) passed away on September 2, 2015 at the age of 93 years at the Colonel Belcher Veterans Care Centre in Calgary, Alberta. Jim was born December 11, 1921 in Nepean Township, Ontario, son of John and Helena (Kinnear) Mann. During WWII, Jim spent four and a half years stationed at various locations in Southern England, a technician working with, what was then, new radar technology. After the war, he attended University of Toronto where he received his B.A. (Languages) and M.A. (Economics). His career spanned 30 years in the Government of Canada, including time at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, where he met Mildred.

He also came out of retirement to volunteer with CESO, traveling with Mildred to Suriname and later to Papua New Guinea, providing agricultural expertise to local officials. Jim was a loving father and is survived by his children Alan (Jean Mark), Calgary, Verna Mann-Renaud (Peter Renaud), Kingston ON, Janice Hunke (Harvey), Dallas TX, and Donald (Lee Olson), Vancouver BC, and his grandchildren Jordan, Winter Pearl, Ian, Melanie, and Nathan.

IN MEMORIAM

McLENAGHAN, Bill September 20, 2009 God called your name so softly, That only you could hear, No one heard the footsteps, Of angels drawing near. The golden gates stood open, God saw you needed rest, His garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. I hide my tears When I mention your name, But the pain in my heart, Is still the same. We thank the Lord for giving us the strength to carry on. Forever in our hearts Aurea, Donna, Sierra and families

ENGLAND, Rick – Beloved husband, father and poppa who passed away September 20, 2014. God saw him getting tired, And a cure was not to be, He wrapped him in His loving arms, And whispered “Come with me”. He suffered much in silence, His spirit did not bend, He faced his pain with courage, Until the very end. He tried so hard to stay with us, But his fight was not in vain, God took him to His loving home, And freed him from the pain. Always remembered With Love Gwen, Greg, Jilene, Graham, Jen, Billy, Amanda, Mason, Andrew, Dylan, Lauren, Logan Jackson and Herrick.

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. Nine 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

Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre duel with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet The climax of an Elizabethan drama: a tense duel with flashing swords and evenly-matched combatants, good and evil pitted against each other in a final battle. This October, when the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre bring Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to the Carleton Place Town Hall, actors will cross swords in the full view of an audience that surrounds them, almost in the middle of the fight! “The duel between Romeo and Paris in the graveyard outside Juliet’s tomb in the final scene follows the tradition of classical drama to the letter,” says director Mark Piper. “But in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has turned the tradition on its head. This is not a glorious final combat – the combatants are unsure of their position, and one of them – Romeo – has actually come to Juliet’s grave so that he can drink poison and die beside his wife. Both men lie dead at the end of the fight, so there is no clear winner: the main villains of the play – the warring families of Montague and Capulet – aren’t even in the fight.” But it’s not all fights in Romeo and Juliet: there are the classic scenes known to all lovers of romance and tragedy: “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?”, “Romeo, Ro-

Assistant directors Leah West, above and Adam Pelletier, below, go through scenes with actors during rehearsals recently for the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre’s upcoming production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The show opens Oct. 16. meo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” and “Parting is such sweet sorrow,” are only a few of the touchstone speeches that the Bard has given the English language in this play. “Yes, the thought that one has to do

these well-known speeches in front of an audience – an audience that will be primed and waiting for them – well, that could be a bit nerve-wracking to any actor,” says Piper. “It sets you back a bit to think that Kenneth Branagh or Leonardo

DiCaprio or Judi Dench or Claire Danes has said exactly the same lines that you are saying.” But neither of these challenges fazes the young actors, who attack the soaring heights of this classical text without fear, and take to the stage combat with zest and good humour. As they reach the home stretch of their preparation for the play, they are enjoying it all – the swordfights, the monologues, the humour, and the story of the two star-crossed lovers. The most common sounds in the rehearsal hall are laughter and applause among the actors, whether sharing an inside joke, admiring another’s performance, or surprising themselves that all the hard work and rehearsal have paid off. They’re comfortable and confident. Leah West, who has performed Shakespeare on stage with the Mississippi Mudds of Carleton Place – most recently playing Desdemona in Othello in 2013 – takes on the challenge of directing the young actors in navigating the complexities of Shakespearean text. Mudds favourite Adam Pelletier (who recently finished the role of the Wizard in the Mudds’ production of Once Upon a Mattress) has designed, and is directing, the many stage combat and swordfight scenes throughout the play.

The joy and exuberance of these young actors is infectious – and if their state of mind in the home stretch of their rehearsals is anything to go by, their performance on opening night will be something to remember. “It’s really been amazing to watch their progress over the past couple of months,” Piper declares. “When we started, I think that some of the actors were intimidated, by the Shakespearean language, by the complexities of the swordﬁght scenes and by the reputation of Romeo and Juliet, the play, and the great actors that have done it in the past. Now, there’s none of that. This play belongs to them now. I’m very proud.” Romeo and Juliet runs Friday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m., at the Carleton Place Town Hall. While the play is suitable for most audiences, younger children may be frightened by the staged violence and swordﬁghts. Tickets cost $10 and are available from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge Street in Carleton Place, 613257-7323. For more information see the Mississippi Mudds website: www.mississippimudds.ca.

How to keep the music alive in a constantly changing industry I always snicker when I see yet another rock band from my youth are on the road again, often playing the same tunes of way back when that, at some point, made them the stars they were. My buddies and I would joke, wondering which player was paying for what divorce, hence another tour. There’s nothing wrong with it as many people continue to attend, paying big bucks to remember their “spring chicken” years. Music can do that. Just hearing a few bars of that certain old song can instantly bring back memories you hadn’t remembered for light years. Like anyone else, unless musicians were smart with hopefully the buckets of money they received the first time around and weren’t gouged or ripped off by record companies, managers, bandmates, etc., they’ve got to keep the funds flowing just like the rest of us, doing what they hopefully still love to do...play music, hopefully on their own terms. When you’re a young musician, everything seems possible and, with a bit of skill and few responsibilities, your craft of being a musician can keep you afloat with a lot of work, crashing on friends couches and even more luck. Having a couple of “hits” no longer puts you on easy street and we know the music industry itself has been crumbling for many years. It’s at the point now where many now work independently, recording their own material, organizing back up musicians, arranging a never ending schedule

of gigs locally and sometimes long tours to help build a following to make it easier the next time you’re through. Building those ever-important lists of contacts, those individuals in local and distant communities who you know will book you to fill the holes on a cross country tour between higher paying gigs, etc. is a skill all its own. Musicians who give it a try are a unique brand of people who endeavour to find a niche place in the musical world for themselves, one that will pay the bills and keep them content. Some do, many don’t. Over the summer I had the opportunity to hear three veterans of the music scene in entirely different circumstances and, in doing so reflected on how each have found a way to keep their musical love alive. Self-described ‘roots songstress’ Allison Brown toured through this summer with her musical partner, multiinstrumentalist ‘Uncle’ Dan Hershall, playing at the Golden Arrow in Perth. She last performed in Perth at one of our house concerts about eight years ago and though I enjoyed her back then and have heard her elsewhere since, it was fabulous to see the growth and maturity Allison brought to the stage. Music is her life. She is on a three-month self-booked tour taking them to the East Coast, including Newfoundland and then working back through to do a tour throughout Manitoba before heading back via gigs in northern Ontario to her home in Windsor.

Most of this will be sleeping on friends’ couches (like ours) along the way. Proudly promoting her latest CD, Stitches and Incisions, she always brings her sweet, powerful voice and enthralls any crowd with her own tunes of a wide variety of topics and musical genres. When not touring she picks up jobs to raise the money to record again and keep her musical life alive. She’s a real troubadour who’s been at it for the past 20 years supporting herself. She’s the real deal. Next, while at Blue Skies Festival, I ran into a real veteran of the folk scene throughout North America, someone I’ve heard most of my adult life. Melwood Cutlery graced many a campfire with his distinctive voice, guitar and harmonica work. After getting his first guitar at ten in his hometown of Ottawa, he taught himself and hit the church basement / high school circuit (unheard of now) until he could get into the bars to play. As a late teen he started what became 30-plus years on the road, writing and playing across Canada and the States, gigging

with the late, great Steve Goodman at one point. Juno award winner, David Francey describes Melwood as “the hippest songwriter around.” I agree with a previous description of this unique singer/songwriter when said, “His songwriting ability moves seamlessly from ballads and lullabies to folk, country, blues and rock.” His latest CD, entitled Home in the Country, recorded at Little Bullhorn Studio in Ottawa by the wonderful engineer, Dave Draves and sweetly produced by Melwood, proves this statement completely. Augmented by tasty background vocals and instrumentation, his storytelling tunes offer lovely snapshots of people and places, all in various styles, from the Stompin’ Tom – like style of Alida to the delightful upbeat romp, Love On Special, to the sultry retrospective of the title track, Home in the Country. This was completed in 2013 but, due to a bad bout with tendinitis in his hand, Melwood had been unable to play so couldn’t get out to promote it which made seeing him back playing with such gusto at Blue Skies so wonderful. The joy of this for him was told by the satisfaction his face portrayed. The wear and tear of the road affects the bodies of those trying to keep things going. I encourage you to pick up Melwood’s new CD and catch him at GIGSPACE in Ottawa on Oct. 9. See details below. By the way, he’s been a Lanark lad for a while. Go to his website www.melwood-

cutlery.com for more information. The last one culminated a couple of Saturday afternoons ago when I walked into the Queen’s Hotel in Carleton Place and witnessed a full house, all there to see a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame and a winner of the Canadian Country Music Association’s Country Music Person of the Year…none other than Neville Wells. Born in Newfoundland, he grew up in Ompah (north of Sharbot Lake) and started his musical ride by playing at the Ompah Dance Hall, backing the fiddler and calling square dances for $2 a night. He headed to Ottawa for university in 1959 and started a duo with Peter Hodgson (Sneezy Waters) called Nev & Pete, playing all around the Ottawa Valley, including the infamous Le Hibou. Together, along with Bruce Cockburn, David Wiffen, Sandy Crawley, Bill Hawkins and Richard Patterson, they formed the folk rock group The Children that lasted a couple of years. As a one-off show, Neville and Sandy opened for the Rolling Stones in Ottawa in 1965. Neville’s roots are country and he ended up fronting his own band, writing lots of material and recording, with his material getting national airplay. He played across Canada over the years and was the creator of the long gone but not forgotten, Ompah Stomp Country Music Festival and also the monthly newspaper, See MUSINGS page 52

While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO.

Costly repairs and tow packages – Car Counsellor weighs in on reader concerns “Hi Brian, First, I like your articles in the papers. Maybe you can help me. I have a 1997 Ford F150 pickup that I bought new with only 70k with a 4.2 L engine. My problem – it has an intake manifold leak and is hissing and been like this for some time. I’ve had conﬂicting reports as what this will cost to repair. I’ve had no problems passing the clean air (emissions) test. The truck is in excellent condition, good paint, auto-trans, cruise, and power windows. It’s a 4-wheel drive. The highest offer I’ve had is $2,000 as is. Would it pay me to ﬁx it and what do you think it would cost to do so.” Thanking you, Lawrence This is a common problem on older Ford trucks and you will probably have to replace the manifold gaskets. There’s an upper and lower set and if they all require replacement you’re likely to be looking at around $600 to $750 but if the lower cast manifold is done, that part alone is another $1,000. I’d advise against leaving this unrepaired as your engine probably has one or more cylinders running lean due to excessive air intake, which can overheat the valves and pistons. As I’ve told many people before, driving anything over 10-years-old in this country is like playing the lottery. So before submitting your wallet to a major repair bill, I’d recommend considering the alternatives. With new vehicle engine and fuel technology, what you might poten-

tially save in gas bills may cover a considerable portion of a monthly payment on a newer truck. If you want to be sure, get a safety inspection done by a qualiﬁed shop (along with a drive-train check over) and if the estimate for any required repairs is close to the current wholesale value of the truck, replacement may be the way to go. “Hello Brian, My wife and I will soon start some long distance travel towing our 15-foot trailer (1150 kg GVWR). I found a good website (onlinetowingguide.com) that lists towing capacities for all manufacturers, for the current and previous two model years. On some of the listings a notation is made that a towing package is required. For example, the 2013 Toyota Highlander has a 2000 lb towing capacity with a 3.5L V-6 engine, but with the towing package the rating increases to 5000 lbs. My questions are: (1) what exactly do these towing packages contain: and (2) can it be safely installed on a used vehicle?” Thanks

Martin Thanks for the great question. Towing packages vary from maker to maker and from model to model. Sometimes they’re as simple as a beeﬁer transmission oil cooler (which can easily be added after the fact) and sometimes they’re more involved, with things like more powerful alternators, different transmission ﬁnal-drive ratios, heavier suspension, and stronger axles (just to name a few). No matter what tow-packages entail on your short-list vehicles and no matter how easy or cheap they may be to install, no carmaker will increase the towing capacity of their products after they’ve left the factory in terms of warranty or operational recommendations. First, few if any carmakers will even provide a detailed

list of components that make up their towing packages. When considering a late model used vehicle, you need to be concerned about voiding any remaining manufacturer’s warranty and towing in excess of the weight limit is a sure way to do it. My advice would be to ﬁnd something that is rated to tow your trailer and still allow for a 20 per cent reserve because you may buy a newer heavier trailer in the future or you may ﬁnd some heavyweight treasures on your adventures that you want to bring home with you.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been inspired by my time at CHEO so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be a doctor. It would be wonderful to take care of people less fortunate than me. If my arthritis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad I would very much like to make other people feel better.

Why should people support the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery? So kids can have a brighter future. They should be able to fulfill their dreams and shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stopped because they have a medical condition.

IMAGINE â&#x20AC;&#x153; I CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WHERE Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D BE WITHOUT CHEO. â&#x20AC;?

Restored ’69 Skylark convertible still turns heads 33 years later Ron Leblanc of LaSalle, Ontario, is an active member of the McLaughlin-Buick Club of Canada, which was founded in Oshawa in 1971 at the 100th birthday celebration for Col. Sam McLaughlin, a former carriage builder who brought General Motors to Canada in 1918. On the weekend of Sept. 1920, Ron will be hosting more than 30 members of the McLaughlinBuick Club of Canada for their fall tour which this year brings them to the Leamington area with visits to the nearby Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village on the Arner Town Line (519-776-6909). Among the cars on display will be Ron’s 1969 Buick Skylark Custom convertible. Forty-

six years ago, Ron bought an identical car brand new from Clarke’s GM dealership on Oxford Street in London, Ontario, and sold it about two years later after only 34,000 miles. Thirty years later, he started looking for another one with trips as far away as California. After a three-year search, he found one in July 2004 in Monroe, South Carolina, and drove it home. It was bought new by a Pennsylvania doctor and Ron is the third owner. The car was rust-free but needed work. Ron drove it every summer and worked on it every winter over the next eight years. The 350 V8 engine with 2-barrel carb and automatic transmission have now been rebuilt. Ron in-

stalled a complete new Saddle Tan interior from “Year One” supply house in the U.S. The chrome has all been redone in Detroit. The body work consisted mostly of removing body filler in dents and dings, adding new sheet metal and refinishing the entire car in Autumn Gold. By an amazing coincidence, Ron’s first Skylark convertible was Autumn Gold. When he bought the one he has now, it was turquoise. When he stripped the paint down to refinish the car, the original colour turned out to be Autumn Gold!

Submitted photo

Ron Leblanc’s 1969 Buick Skylark Custom convertible.

Ron found the original production build sheet for his car under the back seat. The original colour of the top was tan. The top was black when he bought the car in ’04 and the top is now tan again, just like the one he bought new 46 years ago. That car had bucket seats with a console. The one he has now has a bench front seat – about the only

difference between the two cars. The first mid-size Skylarks appeared for 1965 with a wheelbase of 115 inches when the full-size Buicks had 123-126” wheelbases. The Skylark was an instant hit with people who wanted a Buick but not a big one. In 1969, over one hundred thousand Skylarks were built, including 6,552 Custom convertibles.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column receives a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”
