CIP program invests $95,000 into downtown BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
At the Sept. 11 North Grenville council meeting, director of planning and development, Phil Gerrard, reported on the results of the Rideau-Sanders-Prescott Community Improvement Plan (CIP) Façade, Landscape & Signage Grant Program, a funds-matching initiative aimed toward improving the facades, landscapes, and signage of residential and commercial buildings in Kemptville’s downtown core. The program accepted applicants during two intakes — the first closing on May 12, and the second on Aug. 11. “For the first round of these grants, we were quite successful,” said Gerrard. “There were still funds available afterward, so the economic development division decided to establish a second intake, and when that intake closed, we were happy to have received 10 applications for funding.” The total funding request

Ontario Festival of Small Halls kicks off with memorable shows Live music is energizing rural spaces with history and heart across eastern Ontario, as the Ontario Festival of Small Halls kicked off last week and continues this weekend. The festival is getting hands clapping and toes tapping this month as it
welcomes an inspiring combination of big names in music and local opening acts to treasured local small halls until Oct. 1. The festival hit local stages at Stonefields Heritage Farm in Beckwith and the Chaffey’s Lock Community Hall
to start the 2017 events last weekend, before creating more memorable experiences at halls in Athens, Morton, Balderson, Tamworth, Almonte, Dunvegan and Winchester. The Ontario Festival of Small Halls expanded to include more than 30 ru-
ral locales this year, paying tribute to cherished small town spaces. National and international musicians still coming up on the schedule include Ashley MacIsaac, The Abrams, Leif Vollebekk, Old Man Luedecke, Dave Gunning, Rosie and the Riveters, Birds of
Chicago and more. All are ready to share small stages with opening acts which are local to each community. “It’s so special to witness audience reaction to seeing these big names in music in intimate venues,” said Kelly Symes, general manager for the Ontario Festival of Small Halls. “Seeing these artists in a setting which allows you to relish the music and connect with local community is such a unique experience.” This month, the Ontario Festival of Small Halls also announced community events surrounding several of the small halls shows. From a celebration of local food to markets and tapas, Symes said the events in conjunction with the Festival celebrate community and further showcase authentic spaces. Find out more about the remaining Small Halls schedule and upcoming community events at www.ontariosmallhalls.com and be sure to connect with the festival on social media for updates!

More than 50 people came out to participate in the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s third annual Walk on the Wild Side at High Lonesome Nature Reserve Sept. 10. The walk was led by naturalist Michael Runtz.
Runtz keeps crowd spellbound during third annual ‘Walk on the Wild Side’ On Sunday, Sept. 10, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) held its third annual Walk on the Wild Side with “naturalist Supremo” Michael Runtz at High Lonesome, its 200-acre property near Pakenham with its delightful mix of rich wetlands, forests, and meadows. Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly-respected naturalists. The 50 participants were
held spellbound by his insights about plants, insects, birds, and, of course, beavers as he transformed a simple walk along the High Lonesome trails into an amazing adventure in the wild. To date, MMLT has legally protected more than 2,400 acres of sensitive lands in eastern Ontario. MMLT believes that nature experiences provide numerous benefits that contrib-

Police taking aim at pocket dials, unintentional 911 calls with new campaign Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has received more than 142,130 911 calls from Jan. 1 to June 30 of this year and 299,100 in 2016. In 2016, the OPP was able to confirm more than 2,000 pocket dials; however, over 30,000 remained as unknown wireless calls. Ontario's unintentional calls have decreased over the last few years, but more work needs to be done. OPP is launching the #KnowWhenToCall campaign this fall to further educate the public on unintentional calls, including pocket dials, to 911. They continue to urge the public not to call 911 unless it's an emergency, and not to let children play with mobile phones or tablets. "Everyone needs to remember that 911 is to be used only when the safety of people or property is at risk and requires immediate assistance such as a fire, a crime in progress, or a medical emergency. Avoiding pocket dials helps ensure our officers are able to respond to real
emergencies. We encourage everyone to be part of the solution to prevent accidental 911 calls,” stated Superintendent Kari Dart, Director — Provincial Communications Operations — OPP Communications and Technology Services Bureau. As of Sept. 14, the OPP will be using its social media platforms to launch a public education campaign to remind the public to be careful about unintentional or 'pocket dial' calls to provincial communications centres, and what to do if they accidentally call 911. Included in the campaign are posters, poster cards, and short videos also available for use by schools and community partners to help get the message out. The campaign will run over a three-week period with the first release aimed at youth returning to school, followed by two more releases in the following weeks. The campaign products will be available to the media and public on the OPP website (www.OPP.ca) un-
der the 911 page. Pocket dials happen when a mobile device carried in a pocket, purse, backpack, or other piece of clothing accidentally activates the keypad, causing the emergency call. Many calls still occur when young children are given cellphones and smartphones to play with as toys. Even old, inactive devices with the SIM card removed can be used to dial 911. For every unintentional call or pocket dial received, an emergency communicator must determine whether a real emergency exists and if police, fire, or paramedics should be
dispatched. With every unintentional call received, precious seconds may be taken away from someone who really needs help. If you place an unintentional 911 call, stay on the line to let the emergency operator know it was a pocket dial/unintentional call. Every 911 call is taken seriously. When a 911 caller doesn't respond, that could be a sign of trouble — a possibility an emergency responder can't ignore. "For every 911 call the OPP receives, regardless of whether it is a real emergency or an accidental pocket dial, there is a
cost to the municipality,” explained Don Sherritt, chair of the North Grenville Police Services Board. “Our residents are encouraged to work with us and the OPP to help reduce the non-emergency calls to 911, which frees up officers to respond to actual emergencies and saves taxpayers' money. The North Grenville Police Services Board supports this collaborative, province-wide campaign because we know it works." You can prevent pocket dials or unintentional 911 calls by: • Using the keypad lock feature. Keypad locks, some of

Ryan Jacobs to serve as Indigenous trustee for Upper Canada District School Board The Upper Canada District School Board is pleased to announce that an accredited teacher and community leader from the Akwesasne Territory will serve as Indigenous trustee with the school board. Ryan Jacobs, a sitting member of the Mohawk Council, will be sworn in on Sept. 13 at the first school board meeting of the new school year. He will replace former Indigenous trustee Peter Garrow, who retired on Aug. 31 after more than a decade of dedicated service on the board of trustees.
The 36-year-old community leader serves in the education portfolio with the council, acting as a liaison with the director of the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk Board of Education (AMBE) to ensure the education system best serves the needs of students in the territory. Trustee Jacobs is one of 13 chiefs on the Mohawk Council. Jacobs says he looks forward to his new role. “I think it’s a great opportunity to work with the outside communities,” he stated. “The more I can learn about how everything
works in the outside territories, in addition to the knowledge I already have from serving the AMBE, it will benefit the community where I come from. I hope to ensure we get more services and equivalent services. I think that in building those bridges we can all
work together.” Jacobs is a graduate of the School of Education and Professional Studies at the State University of New York Potsdam. He served as a teacher in academic support for students in AMBE, and also worked for the Massena Central School
District. Despite a busy schedule, Jacobs also finds time to organize a softball league in the territory and coaches minor lacrosse. “We are very much looking forward to working with trustee Jacobs in the important role our board has in educating
Indigenous students within our district,” said chair Jeff McMillan. “As an educator and member of the Mohawk Council, trustee Jacobs will bring a unique and qualified perspective to the role.” Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board

Georgette Fry brings her sound back to Station Theatre Sept. 29 Georgette Fry is coming to the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls Sept. 29. Tickets are going fast because once Fry gets in your head, it’s hard to pass her by. Delighted to return to the “wonderful, intimate” space of the Station Theatre after her visit last year, she admits she finds big venues impersonal. As she’s not much of a talker and likes to move from one song directly to the next, she finds small spaces with good acoustics suit her best. For the last 40 years, she has been singing in that “grey area” between blues and jazz, and that’s where her gritty, gutsy voice entices and excels. “I love the wonderful melodies of the older music — Aretha Franklin and Etta James. The new music is boring,” she laughingly confides. Her era is “early jazz, ‘40s, more obscure blues”. And she’s not averse to the audience getting up and dancing. “It’s kind of hard to see toes tapping when people are sitting,” so if you want to dance, she says, get up and dance. Backed up by “her guys” — a five-man group of “phenomenal musicians”, some of whom have been with her for a while and some brand new — she admits she’s only as good as her band. There’s Ken Hall on keyboard, Duncan Holt on drums, Zak Colbert is the bassist, Bunny Stewart playing tenor sax and other horns, and newbie Matthew Wray on guitar. Singing and working with them is like “walking around in slippers” — just plain comfortable. She considers herself a member of the band, not the front. It’s a symbiotic relationship, she adds, and a lot of fun. There was a period in her life when she wrote songs as well as sang (although she admits she’s not much of a songwriter) and “maybe someday” she’ll get back to writing, but for the moment her 24 Shout Sister choirs take most of her time. Who knew, she asked, that the people for whom she started the choirs would turn around and nominate her for a Meritorious Service Medal. It was “surreal” getting the call from the Governor

COMMENTARY
W
Feeding the tax habit
ith the provincial government’s recent announcement about Ontario’s framework to manage federal legalization of cannabis, we are once again wondering about the extent to which bureaucracy will grow in order to manage legal weed and ensure that governments receive their share of revenue from its sale. In noting the time and effort that law enforcement spends dealing with existing laws prohibiting the use and distribution of small amounts of pot, police will now have to prepare for whatever new regulations are put into place to ensure that government-sanctioned sales through standalone cannabis stores and an online order service overseen by the LCBO can be maximized. It will be interesting to see how enforcement will work; it would only be legal to use recreational marijuana in private residences, according to the approach put forward by the government last week. We don’t take issue with the province’s proposal to set 19 as the minimum age to use, purchase or possess recreational canna-
bis; it matches the legal drinking age as well as the sale of tobacco. And at least Ontario appears to be ahead of the pack, as it is the first province or territory to make public its approach to marijuana oversight. We also acknowledge the quotes from cabinet ministers about protecting communities and roads (consumption inside a motor vehicle would reportedly be prohibited) as well as young people and so-called “vulnerable populations” in terms of public health and harm reduction. It’s another example of the balancing act that governments must conduct with adult behaviour. Make an effort to mitigate the harmful effects of a product or experience by way of public awareness campaigns or addiction treatment funding, but continue to reap the benefits. We see it with cigarettes and alcohol and gambling, and marijuana will soon be added to the list. The long-term health costs might cancel out the gains in the context of the big picture, but governments tend to develop a reliance on the revenue.
Audrey’s essay leaves Mary feeling grateful for her sister You didn’t have to guess what grade Miss Crosby was talking to in our one-room schoolhouse. She had only to look down from her desk and cast her eyes on those she wished to speak to, and the rest of us were expected to keep ourselves busy. That day she told the Senior Fourths, my sister and brothers' grade, that she had a special lesson for them. They were to write an essay on all the things that made them happy and grateful. It was their homework, and Miss Crosby gave them a week to do it in. As often happened when my sister Audrey was doing her homework at the kitchen table at night, she would take a piece of paper and hand me a pencil, and she would print simple words,

and I would have to copy them to improve on my printing. I had yet to learn to write. She would do the same with simple arithmetic sums, and I was never sure if what Audrey did was because she was anxious that I keep up with those in my grade at school, or if she was practicing to be a teacher, which was what she dreamed of being when she was finished at the Northcote School. And so when she was working at the table that night on her essay, she seemed very deep in thought. She kept looking my way, and once she even patted my hand and smiled. I thought this all very odd, but then, it was pretty hard for me, so much younger than Audrey, to second guess what was on her mind.
It was getting close to bedtime, and I asked Audrey if she would read to me what she had written. She said she had a lot more to write, and besides, she didn’t think Miss Crosby would want anyone else to read it before she handed it in. I certainly wasn’t going to question my sister, but I would sure have loved to hear what made her happy and grateful. And I wondered if she dared to write that when Mother bought her her very
first bra at Walker’s Store, she said she was never as happy in her whole life! Gone were the strips of flour bagging that she tied around her chest! Could that be what she was writing about? No, because it wasn’t unusual for Miss Crosby to read what a pupil had written if she thought it deserved it. And that would mortify my shy sister Audrey! Well, every night Audrey got out her scribbler and wrote, erased, wrote and erased some more. My brothers had finished long ago, and had already handed in their essays to Miss Crosby. And then just the day it was due, Audrey gave it one final read, and put it on the corner of the teacher’s desk. I thought I would never know what had

taken Audrey so long to write. And then the day came when Miss Crosby had read all the essays, and handed them back. I saw that my sister had three gold stars on the top sheet. One star was a real honour ... but three stars were right up there with getting top honours in the spelling bee! Audrey quickly tucked the sheets into her book bag. It was many weeks later when my best friend Velma was over to play that I found Audrey’s essay in the back of her washstand drawer, and I asked Velma if she would read it to me. Velma was in one grade higher than I was, smart as a whip, and had long since learned to write instead of print, and could also read. Well! What a revelation! Audrey had written what

made her happiest was when she read to me at night before we went to bed. She said just watching me, her little sister, smile, and sometimes laugh, or stay perfectly still as the story unfolded, brought her the utmost happiness, and then she finished her essay by saying she was grateful she had a little sister like Mary! I didn’t let on to Audrey that I knew what her essay was about, but I knew I too had something to be both happy and grateful for, for a very long time to come.

Better public transit opportunities on the way for Lanark County residents Lanark County residents who aren’t able to drive a car, can’t afford one, or want a greener alternative (and aren’t able to use the few public transit options currently available), will be delighted to know that a Lanark County transit advisory committee is making great progress in exploring solutions for getting around. It’s difficult right now to get around the county or commute to work if you don’t drive a car. Consider the logistics. Lanark County covers an area of 3,034 km2 criss-crossed by over 2,000 km of roads, and its 66,000 residents vary in population density from 5/km2 (Lanark Highlands) to 1,110/km2 (Carleton Place). Add to this the proximity to Ottawa of Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith. From Carleton Place alone, about 5,000 people commute to Ottawa, and Carleton Place’s current population of 10,000 is expected to double in the next 10 to 15 years. Elsewhere in Lanark County, Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith could double their populations to a combined total of 30,000. Here’s what Lanark County is doing to improve the current transportation picture. First, a bit of background. Just over 10 years ago, a group of concerned residents formed a group, Lanark Community Transit, to address the commuting issue. They worked diligently to research, analyze and promote a commuting service, as well as public transit within the county. Of all the municipal councils they contacted, Carleton Place Council were alone in agreeing to fund a commuting service, resulting in Leduc Bus Lines setting up a weekday commuting route there. Although Carleton Place later withdrew their funding, this bus line still operates, and is now linked up with Classic Alliance Motorcoach, which operate the commuter bus (http://www. octranspo.com/routes/rural_ partner_routes) from Arnprior, Pakenham, Almonte and Carleton Place. Lanark County already provide a certain level of public transit owing to the Lanark Transportation Association (LTA), a communitybased, not-for-profit personal transportation service that has been serving the residents of Lanark County and the
Town of Smiths Falls since 2001. The LTA’s 15 vehicles, including four wheelchair-accessible vehicles, are used to provide transportation related to medical appointments, hospital discharges and mental health services. The LTA have recently expanded their mandate to include “life-enhancing” services or appointments, such as visits to loved ones at hospital, attendance at weddings and funerals, and social outings for residents in long-term care facilities. Transportation is also provided for job interviews and training, but not for people to get to and from work. Most LTA clients have disabilities and other health issues, and are registered with provincial programs such as Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, SMILE (Seniors Managing Independent Life Easily), and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board). These provincial programs provide funding for the medical transportation required by these clients. The LTA also receive money from Lanark County, the Town of Smiths Falls, and funding through the provincial gas tax program. As an illustration of LTA’s ridership, 23,500 rides were provided last year to all seniors, and to younger people with disabilities. In Mississippi Mills, Mills Community Support (MCS) provide a similar function for most residents. (Pakenham residents who meet the requirements for this type of transit are basically covered by the LTA, not MCS.) In recent years LTA have started to provide transportation based on financial need, to ensure that all those who need to get to a medical appointment, but who have no other access to transportation, will get there. Anyone within Lanark County or the Town of Smiths Falls can make use of this service, if s/he can provide proof of financial need. The amount of the subsidy available from LTA is based on family income. LTA, who heavily subsidize this service, try to ensure that they can serve as many people as possible for as many trips as possible. At the same time, LTA are very conscious that their transportation service needs to be financially sustainable, meaning that they need to recover at least 40 per cent of their operating costs from fares.
Now, a look at the latest developments. A few years ago, Jane Torrance and Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills representatives on Lanark County council) promoted county transit as part of Lanark County’s strategic plan, and were able to get this item put at the top of the Lanark County agenda. In response to this, Lanark County agreed to provide funding for a report on public transit. The consultants selected to prepare this report, Nelson Rogers and Robert Leitch, reviewed existing public transit within Lanark County and proposed some feasible solutions. (For an overview for this report,
see www.county.lanark.on.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=7102.) Following acceptance of this report late last summer, Lanark County struck a committee, named the Transit Advisory Group (TAG), to assess the report’s recommendations over the course of six meetings, with the aim of making recommendations to Lanark County on how to move forward. The members of TAG are comprised of representatives from organizations that provide community transportation within the county, residents with an interest in this issue, and county staff and elected officials. A number of exciting initiatives
are in the works. TAG are hoping to increase the ridership of Classic Alliance Motorcoach by helping with their marketing. If ridership does increase as a result, it will make this bus service even more viable. Lanark County is planning to add a section to their website that will provide information and links to specialty transit and commuter transit, and update it as necessary, to make it easier for people to find transportation that meets their needs. Lanark Transportation Association are currently implementing a new software program that will build service capacity and assist
with last-minute requests (normally they require a week’s notice to book a trip). In addition, LTA will be starting a pilot program in the future that incorporates a fixed route service. For updates on TAG’s initiatives, check out www.lanarkcounty.ca/. If you’re as enthusiastic as I am about all the great possibilities that TAG’s initiatives offer to our county, please encourage your councillors to support our TAG representatives in this new and exciting foray into improving public transit.

The Tomorrow Box women: connecting to characters “He spends more time talking to the cows than he does to me,” laments Maureen Cooper, matriarch of the uber-patriarchal Cooper clan whose Century Farm has been passed along from generation to generation for over a hundred years. In Studio Theatre’s upcoming production, The Tomorrow Box, a play by awardwinning Canadian playwright, Anne Chislett, it turns out that the lack of attention from her husband is just the beginning of Maureen’s problems. Husband Jack, son Joe, new daughter-inlaw Alice and Alice’s sister, Lisa, all have high stakes in this humorously poignant drama about family, heritage, power and upheaval. The Tomorrow Box opens Sept. 28 at Perth’s Studio Theatre. It is a delightful, heartwarming, and provocative play set in rural Ontario and a not-sodistant past (1979-80) that nevertheless seems far removed from today. It is a character-driven tale of how change affects five very real people in a world that is, at once, both familiar and illusory. Carolee Mason, who is nothing less than a local and Ontario-wide theatre icon, directs the production and is admittedly attached to it, having taken a work-

Carolee shares that “unlike the Cooper family, mine had only girls to inherit the farm. While the neighbours and my grandfather all joked that I should go off to study at Guelph, meet a nice

'American Assassin' fills Bourne/Bond movie void MOVIE: American Assassin STARRING: Dylan O'Brien, Sanaa Lathan, Michael Keaton, Shiva Negar and Taylor Kitsch DIRECTOR: Michael Cuesta RATING: 14A In the absence of a new Jason Bourne or James Bond film I suppose American Assassin will do. It isn't as good, but if you've already seen Atomic Blond then I guess this is all you have. The beginning of the movie lays it on thick. Mitch (Dylan O'Brian) is on vacation at a Spanish beach resort with his girlfriend. He proposes, there's applause from the onlookers, and everyone is happy. Then the gunmen show up. Bullets fly, bodies drop and the beach is bathed in blood. The scene ends with a wounded Mitch staring into the eyes of his dead fiancée. It may lay it on thick, but I suppose it's needed so we, the audience, are prepared to jump down the emotional rabbit hole with Mitch. Eighteen months later and Mitch is not the same person. He's been training in martial arts, weapons and Islam. His plan is to infiltrate the terrorist group responsible for

killing his fiancée and kill them all. It almost works. He manages to get face-to-face with the leader of the terrorist group when the Navy Seals burst in. They kill everyone and take Mitch back home. Mitch winds up at the CIA where assistant director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) makes Mitch an offer. She wants him to join her secret team of CIA assassins. Mitch is given to Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) to be trained. Mitch is skilled, gifted even, but he has issues taking orders. Nonetheless when someone starts to put together a nuclear bomb Mitch is put on the team to stop those responsible. Things go wrong quickly, and Mitch finds himself up against one of Stan's former students. He calls himself Ghost (Taylor Kitsch), and he has his own agenda. American Assassin is one of those films where there's noth-
ing particularly awful. It's shot well. The action is well executed. The acting is decent, and the story is believable enough to maintain suspension of disbelief … kind of. The violence goes to a level of graphicness I’m not sure is necessary, though that does play into how badly this film wants to be taken seriously. The problem comes from the fact this is a typical spy versus spy movie. It's formulaic and predictable. There's no surprises, and nothing really new. Cast wise there isn't a lot to say. Dylan O'Brian does a fair job as the brooding action hero. Sanaa Lathan, Shiva Negar and Taylor Kitsch play their roles well even if they are playing stock characters. The brightest spot is getting to watch Michael Keaton do what he does. When he commits to a role he commits mind, body and soul. I get the sense that Michael Cuesta is working hard to create a serious, intense and dramatic action film. He pulls out all the stops to get you emotionally involved in the story and the characters, but he's hamstrung by the movie's predictability. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Welcome back to another year with Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW)! Thank you to everyone who attended the Sprinkler Party in August. It was a glorious day and a resounding success! As most of you saw, our new format includes more nature based and child led play where children can follow their curiosity in the outdoors and learn where their heart and sense of wonder takes them. We would love to hear about your family’s experience. Send us a message, comment, suggestion or picture via our Facebook page (Children’s Resources On Wheels) or email us at reception@crowlanark.com. For those of you dealing with kids starting or returning to school this fall, take a look at their classroom and activities and look for the same attributes that we incorporated into the Sprinkler Party. You’ll see more natural materials, lots of opportunity for child led play, open ended materials that allow your child to follow their sense of wonder and curiosity into inquiry based learning. What if … Why … How about …? Talk to your kids about their day, how they felt about it, what they did, their relationships with kids, adults and the environment. Yes, the environment! Did you know that we have relationships with spaces, materials, time, even the emotional climate? All of these things affect how we act and learn. One of the most important factors in learning is the sense of belonging (part of a relationship). It relates to how we feel with other people and the places we are in. Whether in the classroom or at playgroup, being welcomed in, seeing familiar things, having a caring relationship with the people there and sharing a part of ourselves (art work, bringing something from home to show, saying hello, playing with others) all help us to have a sense of belonging. It gives us a sense of wellbeing that allows us to open up to the experiences around us. The same is true at home. Parenting can be tough at times. (You knew I was going to get around to parenting somehow didn’t you?). If we have a foundation of belonging and a positive relationship within our family we will get through the tough times. We have lots of workshops coming up this fall to help on both of these fronts. “Bounce Back and Thrive” (one of my favourites) is a resiliency workshop that helps us be more positive, assertive and caring as parents. It helps life be less stressful too. “Tips for Twos” is help for parents dealing with kids 18 months to three-and-a-half year olds. Delve into the toddler brain
and tweak your parenting skills so they work! “Triple P” is an all-round parenting course that builds a positive relationship with your kids while tackling the tough situations with a detailed game plan! Do you deal with an anxious child? “Kids Have Stress Too” will help you see the different forms that stress and anxiety can take in children. That sense of belonging

‘Excuse me. Could you turn that down 100 decibels!’ I can’t help but laugh at the television commercial featuring the guy who is so excited about purchasing a particular “little pill” which is supposed to assist with a very personal male problem. I will leave exactly what that problem is to your imaginations. I’m sure you’ve already figured it out! The chap in question is so happy about acquiring the “expected cure” that he shares the news with everyone else in line at the pharmacy. Not surprisingly his fellow customers are caught off guard. The advertisement is an exaggeration of course. Who after all would share their personal health issues with strangers in a line at the drugstore? Well, I thought that TV commercial was exaggerated. But based on some of my recent experiences now I’m not so sure? People today say the strangest things and in the oddest places. They also deliver their “news” at an incredibly high amplification. Try

150 decibels! We had overseas visitors here this summer and my son and I are home after 12 days in Ireland and England. During this busy period we’ve spent more time than usual in public places including bars, restaurants, stores and airport waiting areas. The man in the pharmacy commercial has nothing on some of the people I’ve encountered on my travels. It is obvious to me some individuals operate on the theory that everyone within an area encompassing roughly three city blocks is interested in them and what they are talking about. That’s not the half of it though! The late Canadian-born radio and television personality Art Linkletter — yes, he was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan believe it or not — hosted the show House Party on CBS radio and TV in the U.S. for a quarter century. Linkletter, who died in 2010 at the ripe old age of 97, was particularly well known for interviewing children.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
He did kids’ interviews on House Party, but much more famously on the comedy television series Kids Say the Darndest Things. Interestingly the latter series, which began with a special in 1995 and later ran for several seasons ending in June 2000, was hosted by another well-known person. Someone who has been in the news a lot recently — disgraced comedian Bill Cosby. Children of course are famous for being brutally honest and no one was better at bringing that out than Art Linkletter. Kids Say the Darndest Things had a question and answer
format. Here are a couple of examples from the show. Linkletter asked a young boy, “What’s the first thing a fireman does when he hears the four-alarm bell ring?” “Pull up his pants,” the lad replied. Sage advice The popular personality had this question for a little girl. “What’s the first thing you’d do if you were president.” “Keep my mouth shut,” she stated emphatically. Some sage advice and something I think the current occupant of the Oval Office would do well to consider. Still, some of the adults I have heard talking in public places recently also said the darndest things and within easy earshot of many people who they clearly didn’t know from Adam, including me. I was in a popular area restaurant a short time ago. Our party of four
was sitting two tables away from a large group of ladies who were clearly having a good time. They were drinking wine and engaged in a grand old tongue wag which, in a roadhouse setting is pretty common. When you go to this particular place you expect it to be noisy, especially on a night when specials are on the menu. We weren’t paying much attention to them actually, immersed as we were in our own four-way conversation. Every now and then though their voice levels rose and we could hear every word that was being said. Again, no big deal. They were loud, but so what eh! Then an occupant of the large table suddenly announced, “Well, I need a pee!” Yes, P-EE. Not P-EA. OK, so it’s a natural bodily function. But did she really need to tell half the restaurant?

Some of the things I have heard lately in public would make a sailor blush. In fact the chap in the TV ad with ED is on the low end of the scale when it comes to “graphic details.” Bars, restaurants and airport lounges are hotbeds of loud, brash, even personal conversation. Loud talk is to be expected. But when you are in a hospital waiting room, awaiting a minor procedure as I was a few weeks ago, you don’t necessarily expect to hear two people discussing intimate details of their lives. And loudly enough that the “restricted” subject matter was more than obvious. Honestly! In the grocery store one day recently I was party to what I would call “an over the top performance” by a proud grandmother showing off her grandchild. I’m not sure if the baby was a boy or girl? He or she was tiny and dressed in neutral colours.
kin, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) coconut milk 1/4 cup (50 mL) fresh lime juice 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed brown sugar 2 green onions, thinly sliced 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh coriander leaves
Add pumpkin and stir to coat. Stir in coconut milk and bring to simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Add chicken to skillet along with any accumulated juices and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes. The sauce will begin to reduce and pumpkin will soften and melt into sauce. Preparation instructions: Add lime juice and Curry Paste: In a small sugar and cook for 3 minfood processor, pulse together garlic, shallot and ginger until finely chopped. Add jalapeño pepper, turmeric, coriander, cumin and coconut milk; purée until mixture is smooth. Rendang: In large deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add star anise and cinnamon and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add chicken in batches and cook turning once, until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to plate. Add curry paste to skillet and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of skillet for 2 minutes.
Well, I’m a proud grandpa myself. But it would be a frosty Friday in July that you’d see me going on — and on and on — the way this lady did in the middle of the fresh fruit and vegetables section. Cooing, babbling and whispering sweet nothings in a voice that could be heard. Well, I’m sure you could hear this grandma in the pharmacy at the opposite end of the store. Proud only goes so far in my opinion! To sum up, my suggestion this week is that people should consider their surroundings — and their audience — when they decide to say personal things at a volume high enough that strangers can’t possibly miss a word. The cute little girl, responding to Art Linkletter’s question about becoming president, hit the nail on the head I think!

Music, dance and drama in Carleton Place as Mississippi Mudds unveil new season The time is upon us. That exciting time full of new things, new promise. And we in the Mississippi Mudds are raring to get going on new things for our 2017/2018 44th season. Have you ever or never seen a Mudds show? Are you a regular patron? Whatever your answer, this is your year to explore the live theatre scene in Carleton Place. Brochures for our new season are popping up all over town. But in case you don’t have one yet, here is a quick guide to help you mark your calendar. We are calling it a Season of Classics to Celebrate Family, Friends and Lovers. First up is Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. A dozen or so local actors aged between 13 and 18 are already in rehearsal for this comedic take on romance. This is the eighth Shakespeare production mounted by Mudds teens and young adults. As the brochure explains, “This is the one with the girl who’s in love with the boy who’s in love with the other girl who’s in love with the first girl because she thinks
he’s a boy.” Are you confused yet? Well just be assured this one is full of comedy, laughs and apparently yellow socks too. Show opens Friday, Oct. 20 with the first of five performances over that and the following weekend. Tickets for this evening of Shakespeare in the round are $10. Anne of Green Gables The Musical, our number two main stage show, is perfect to usher in the Christmas season. Adapted by Don Harron from the novel by L.M. Montgomery, this heartwarming show is full of great songs such as Ice-cream and Open the Windows. Our spirited, red-haired orphan girl with the amazing imagination will touch your hearts as she touches those of everyone in Avonlea and Green Gables. As Anne would say, “Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them,” so mark your calendars now for this rousing musical tribute to Canada’s famous and beloved heroine. The show opens Friday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. In total you
have four matinees and two evening shows to choose from over two weekends. Reserved seating tickets are $20. The Little Mermaid Junior by Glen Slade and Doug Wright swims into town on Feb. 23, 2018, with seven performances slated between opening and closing on March 4. Another treat from our vibrant youth theatre group this one is destined to be a hit with all ages. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, this one has all the music and characters you loved in the Disney version. Guys and Dolls by Swerling, Burrows and Loesser, presented over two weekends in May 2018, will close our main stage series with a bang. This Broadway golden-era classic is always popular in revivals and promises to be so in Carleton Place too. Great songs such as Luck be a Lady, Bushel and a Peck, If I were a Bell will get your toes tapping and put a smile on your face. So there you have it. Four wonderful shows. Try to see them all. For
more information pick up a brochure, check our website www.mississippimudds.ca or look for our Facebook page. All tickets will be available at Carleton Place Visitor Centre, 170
Bridge St., or call 613-257-1976. Tickets for each show will go on sale four weeks before it opens. Submitted by the Mississippi Mudds publicity team

Slightly smaller Ontario apple crop volume this year, but quality will be excellent Ontario’s apple crop volume will be slightly lower this year compared to last, but the fruit will be larger, juicier, and more colourful. That’s what Ontario’s apple growers are seeing as they prepare to harvest the 2017 crop along the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. It’s the drought that struck many of the province’s apple growing regions in 2016 that is causing Ontario’s fresh market apple crop to be approximately 20 per cent less than last year. “Our trees suffered from extreme drought last year and they haven’t had a chance to recover,” says apple grower Charles Stevens, who farms near Newcastle. “All the rain we’ve had this year, though will mean larger, juicier apples with great colour because cool weather creates colour. And we’ll have plenty of apples available throughout the season for

Ontario Apple Growers says that this year’s crop volume will be slightly lower than last year, but apple lovers can enjoy fruit that is larger, juicier and more colourful. Above, be on the look out for Ambrosia apples, the sweetest variety grown in the province.
Ontarians to enjoy.” Consumers may see some apples with small dents, which were caused by hail earlier in the summer, but those don’t take away from the flavour or the juiciness of the fruit. Some early varieties are already available and most growers will begin the bulk of their apple harvest in early September, just in time for back to school. Stevens encourages Ontarians to keep an eye out for the Ambrosia apple this year, a relatively new variety that was discovered by chance by a Canadian apple grower who found it growing in his British Columbia orchard. It’s a large, juicy fruit that is ideal for eating fresh. “Ambrosia is the sweetest apple that we grow in Ontario and it’s truly Canadian, made by Mother Nature herself,” Stevens says. “As we celebrate Canada 150 this year, there’s not a better time to try this new, Canadian-born apple.”
There are approximately 15 different varieties of apples grown on 15,000 acres in Ontario. The farm gate value of the Ontario apple crop is approximately $60 million, which includes sales to fresh and processing markets as well as onfarm/pick-your-own. The Ontario Apple Growers represents the province’s 200 commercial apple farmers.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when an opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many things around the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make a concerted and sincere effort to focus on family for the next few days. It’s time to reconnect with everyone in the house, and you will enjoy the time at home. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, slow down a little because moving faster will not get the job done right. It may only lead to sloppy mistakes that will take even more time to handle.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It can be challenging to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Risk can sometimes have a large payoff, Virgo. Just make sure you time your jump right or you could miss an opportunity to really shine.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you take some time off from work, things will go on as planned. Although you are a key member of the team, others can temporarily fill your shoes.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you push yourself a little harder this week, you will be happy with the results. Even though it may be an uphill battle, the summit will look pretty nice. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.

Remember to do proper testing before swapping out car parts has to be done is a search of the harness wires, connectors, and components between the switch and the rear lamps to find the short. The first thing a shop tech would do is to eliminate all the rear bulb sockets as culprits by looking for any signs of corrosion and repairing/replacing them as required. Then, armed with a wiring diagram and a circuit tester he or she would divide each of the related circuits in half to check each section for the short. Once the guilty section is known, then that half would be divided in half again and so on until the short is located. Tail lamps receive their power signals from various sources such as the headlamp/signal switch and brake lamp switch, and emergency flasher switch. Some of the more popular areas to look would be any spot where the wiring travels through a bulk-

head or where the wiring is exposed to any exterior elements. On a car of this Pontiac's age, it really could be anywhere. A lot of this wiring runs under floor carpeting where years of slush from boots can soak and corrode wiring and connectors. Most shops can't give an estimate for this type of work, only charging the tech's straight time at their labor rate. You can reduce some of this work yourself by checking the lamp sockets and clearing out the interior to reduce the amount of time a tech will have to spend in their search. As well this Vibe is equipped with a tail-lamp relay, which might also be at fault. Our Vibe do-it-yourselfer wasn’t deterred after I forwarded the response above, I received this email later… “Hi again, I hope you don’t start charging $100 per hour, if
you do, then I’m out of luck! I got the lights to work and I don’t know why. I removed the new switch assembly and reinstalled the old one, put in a new fuse, and thought that while I’m at it, also put in a new fuse marked OBD, to my amazement, everything worked tail lights etc. Beaming with pride, I went for groceries and found it wouldn’t shift out of park! I looked in the manual and it said to remove the shift-lock override cover from the console and insert a small flat tipped tool and press down and sure enough I could shift, but I have to do this every time! Again can you help me out, the manual says to have this fixed ASAP. Have what fixed? They don’t say what the problem is!” The auto transmission shifter on this Vibe has a safety mechanism that won't let it come out of park until the brake pedal is depressed. There is a small electronic device located in
the floor console just ahead of the shifter that does this. When it gets an electrical signal from the brake pedal, it releases the lock on the shifter. The brake lamps need to be checked to see if they’re actually working. If they're not working the problem with the shift lock may be related to that same circuit. If the brake lamps work, then the problem is either in the shift interlock device or the wiring to it (this may have been the problem all along). A connector or wire may have been disturbed swapping out the lamp switch or replacing a burnt fuse or it may be something unrelated. The moral here is don’t swap out parts to solve an electrical problem unless you do the proper testing first. Very few (if any) parts stores will take

“Hi Brian, You’ve solved a problem for me before, and here’s another one. I have a 2003 Pontiac Vibe, and found the taillights not working. The fuse was blown; I replaced it and replaced the rear bulbs, the fuse blew again. Instead of bothering you, I asked around, and the consensus was that the head light switch/signal lights arm assembly was faulty. After much searching I finally got a new one for $200, plus tax, and installed it. Same results; after one try of the lights, the tail light fuse blew again. I’m at my wit’s end. Do you have any suggestions for me?” BM This Pontiac probably has what's known as a 'short to ground' where a power feed is being grounded causing the blown fuses. As the switch has been eliminated (if properly installed) as a possible cause now what

Blood, stem cell drives pay tribute to Kemptville native BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Becky Littau wipes tears from her eyes as she thinks of what her late husband Dustin would think about blood donor and stem cell drives being held in his honour. “He’d be proud,” she whispered. The 31-year-old lost his battle with MDS (myelodisplastic syndrome) on July 19 after being diagnosed in April. He required a stem cell transplant; a match was all lined up, but a virus, coupled with the MDS, caused a rare auto-immune disease to appear which was fought with intense chemotherapy and blood transfusions. Throughout the course of his treatments, Dustin received 125 blood transfusions, with 21 of those on his final day. “I don’t think anyone could fathom that one person could go through that amount of blood,” his mother, Judy Littau, said during the clinic. “But, we got another two months of having Dustin with us because he was given all this blood.” To raise awareness of the importance of being a blood and stem cell donor, Becky and Judy want to replenish those units of blood and build up the Canadian stem cell

That clinic and another on Oct. 2 in Kemptville are being held in honour of their husband/ son Dustin Littau, inset above. Dustin passed away in July following a battle with cancer and received 125 blood transfusions, which family hope to replenish. bank even more. To do this, blood and stem cell drives, the they are hosting a series of first of which was held at the
Almonte Civitan Club Sept. 14. Family, friends and community members came out to support Becky, an Almonte native who is the daughter of Rhonda and Paul Virgin, where 94 blood donations were made and 12 people were added to the stem cell registry. “(The donations) will have the potential to help 282 patients,” Becky said. Becky, a hairstylist, and Dustin, who worked in public safety for the federal government, had been together for 6.5 years and married for three, having met online through match.com. They purchased a home in Ashton two years ago. He is remembered for having a great sense of humour and an easygoing and patient nature. “I remember one night we were lying in bed and I let out
the deepest sigh and he asked me what was wrong,” Becky commented. “I said ‘You’re such a worry,’ and he answered back, ‘I’m not a worry; I’m an adventure.’” “Even when he was in the ICU, he kept us laughing with a few things,” Judy said. “ … He was the quiet one and always did things to help people, but it was behind the scenes. He never wanted to be front and centre.” Judy said the idea for the blood and stem cell drives was hatched while visiting Dustin in the hospital and speaking with a man from Lebanon. “In his country, if you’re given blood, your family members are required to replenish that amount to their blood bank,” she explained.

The Ferguson Forest off-leash dog park officially opens in Kemptville BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
On Sunday, Sept. 17, the grand opening of the Ferguson Forest Dog Park took place in the Ferguson Forest Centre. The event began with a parade of dogs and their owners led by the Kemptville Pipe & Drum band. Wendy Daniels from Boom 99.7 kicked off the speeches and emceed the event all day long. “I’m really happy to be here with you, this has been a labour of love,” said Daniels. “There’s a lot of credit we need to give out before we cut that ribbon – first of all, I’d like to introduce the birthday boy, Carl Doucette. It’s Carl’s birthday today and he couldn’t have thrown a better party for himself because this is his labour of love as the President of North Grenville Dog Parks Inc.” Doucette, president of North Grenville Dog Parks Inc. and vicepresident of the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation, made a speech of gratitude and appreciation for the sponsors, volunteers, North Grenville council and his fellow board members for making the dog park possible. “What an amazing day – not only for the municipality of North Grenville, but for dog owners and dog lovers everywhere,” said Doucette. “Your long-awaited off-leash dog park is about to open. Thanks to everyone

crowd was made up of dog owners “This isn’t just a dog park for from various areas including Kemp- North Grenville – this is a dog park tville, Winchester, Brockville, West- for North Grenville and surrounding port, Oxford Mills and Nepean. areas,” he said. “It was just over a year
ago when our corporation, North Grenville Dog Parks Inc., was formed with a mandate to finance and build an off-leash dog park here in Kemptville. Haven’t we come a long way in just over a year? But the journey is not over – what you see before you here is a start. Mind you – a good start, which will be improved upon year after year." Doucette said the organization hopes to add running water, a composter for dog waste and a compostable toilet in the parking lot. During his remarks, he thanked the mayor and council for seeing the vision he had for the dog park, as well as the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation, who granted permission to sublet the land from them. "I also want to thank them for this beautiful road they made, which is now an all-season road that goes to the parking lot and will be plowed in the winter so we’ll have all-year access to our park," he said, noting it was the corporation who proposed the idea of a dog park after hearing many requests from citizens. "...Not only did they (Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation) lease the land – they also made the forested area useable for a dog park. A year ago, that was a forest that was not looked after for almost forty years. Dead trees and fallen trees See PARK page K12

Local food banks kickoff Hunger Awareness Challenge The House of Lazarus (HOL) and Community Food Share have launched the Hunger Awareness Challenge. The challenge, which runs from Sept. 18 to 22, involves Hunger Awareness Champions living solely off the items provided by the food bank for five days. The purpose of the challenge is to raise awareness about the issue of hunger faced by those living in rural poverty. The champions will have to be creative when it comes to meal planning and preparation, to ensure their supplies do not run out before the five days is up. Each champion is permitted only $10 to spend on food throughout the week. A total of 10 champions have risen to the challenge: Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash, Linking Hands co-ordinator Sandy Casselman, South Dundas Mayor Evonne Delegarde, community activist Kim Sheldrick, Winchester District Memorial Hospital CEO Cholly Boland, North Grenville Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin, North Grenville Coun. Frank Onasanya, North Dundas Good Neighbour Mike Barkley, North Dundas Coun. Tony Fraser, North Dundas Mayor Eric Duncan and Kemptville District Hospital Foundation chair/Westerra Homes owner Robert Noseworthy. The champions visited the food bank on Sept. 14 and 15 to pickup their food for the week. Each champion was asked why they agreed to participate in

The number of users are increasing and many of our seniors are going without food
as they struggle to stay in their homes due to rising costs.” When asked what he thought the hardest part of the challenge would be, Nash commented, “I eat to live, not live to eat and often forget to eat when I’m busy. I love beans, KD (Kraft Dinner) and porridge or cereal. I don’t know what I will be given to eat but expect the hardest part will be doing
without the treats and maybe having to ration the coffee or getting used to smaller portions. If you had asked my wife Linda that question, I’m sure she would say doing without ice cream and brownies will kill him.” Duncan said he wanted to be a champion because it’s something different that will offer a new perspective when it comes to the local food banks. The hardest part for him will be meal planning and preparation, as he spends so much time on the road and eats out often. “My biggest thing is being out and about all the time, so planning ahead will be tricky,” noted Duncan. Tobin said the reason she wanted to participate is to walk another person’s journey. “We get very comfortable in our own lives, habits and patterns, and I think it is important to be aware of others and their realities and challenges,” said Tobin. “Gaining insight and respect for someone's path for me is an important part of being a community member.” Onasanya indicated he was nervous about taking on the challenge because he did rely on a food bank to eat for about six months, a few years after moving to Kemptville, and the memories are difficult ones to dig up. He explained he lost his job and after the savings were depleted, he turned to the food bank to eat.
“My wife and I used to share a small can of beans for dinner,” said Onasanya. “We used to count the broccoli on each head to plan for meals. It was tough.” Eventually, Onasanya found a new job and things improved. “You get through it and I am still here today, but I wanted to do this because I had forgotten what it was like,” he remarked. He shared a story from his childhood, when himself and his four siblings would have to share a single can of sardines and make it last three days. “We each got one little fish for three days and we had to make sure it lasted; if a mouse gets to it, that’s your problem,” Onasanya said. A single loaf of bread would have to last his family an entire month. “If it got mouldy, you just picked it off.” Every month, the HOL food bank serves more than 100 local families. Approximately 40 per cent of those clients are children and 10 per cent are seniors. To follow the journeys of all 10 Hunger Awareness Champions, visit the House of Lazarus and Community Food Share Facebook pages for frequent updates throughout the week. The Hunger Awareness Challenge is part of Food Bank Canada’s Hunger Awareness Week. Submitted by House of Lazarus

Steve Clark tables petitions in support of County Road 43 expansion at Queen’s Park Petitions with more than 300 signatures in support of expanding County Road 43 in Kemptville are now in the hands of the provincial government. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark tabled the petitions at Queen’s Park on Sept. 12 to press the Wynne government to provide infrastructure funding necessary to expand the busy twolane roadway to four lanes. “I was proud to stand today on behalf of area residents, the Municipality of North Grenville and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville to demand our fair share of infrastructure funding in eastern Ontario,” said Clark. “The province must stop stalling and give the green light to this critical project to enhance public safety and support economic growth.” The government now has 24 sitting days to respond in writing to Clark’s petition. Clark launched the petition earlier in the summer in response to frustration and concern expressed by the public and local elected officials over the province’s failure to support the shovel-ready, $30-million project.
“The need to get this work done and relieve congestion on this vital connecting link to Highway 416 is obvious to anyone who has travelled the busy roadway,” said Clark. “For five years, the United Counties has listed the 43 expansion as their No. 1 infrastructure priority, yet Premier Wynne made no commitment to fund the project when she was in Kemptville a few weeks ago.” While the premier and her government focus on funding for road projects and other infrastructure in the Greater Toronto Area, Clark said he’s frustrated that needs in rural Ontario are overlooked. “Our future economic development opportunities depend on us safely moving people and products on our roadways. Local municipalities have done their part by identifying this as a key project and committing their share of the cost,” stressed Clark. “It’s time for the province to step forward as a partner so we can get on with the work.” Submitted by the office of Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark

Newgate 180 Addiction Solutions open house highlights family program BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
On Thursday, Sept. 14, Newgate 180 Addiction Solutions in Merrickville hosted an open house to showcase their recent renovations and talk to the community about some of their new services. The event included tours of the treatment centre’s beautiful red brick building which is situated on the water at 435 Main St. E. The facilities include residential accommodation for up to twenty patients in bright and spacious bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen for the centre’s on-site chef, an extensive yard with a large back porch facing the water, a gym, a group meeting room and an open-concept foyer with attached living and dining rooms. Newgate 180’s location is ideal for a treatment centre, as livein patients are provided with a calming environment in which they can relax and truly focus on their recovery. Minimal advertis-
ing and a large, private yard ensure the privacy and protection of patients. The open house received a great turnout. Newgate staff took the opportunity to inform guests of the centre’s family meetings, designed to promote the well-being of those who live with, care for, or are affected by someone living with addiction. “What we realized is that our services here are for the clients, but there was nothing for the family,” said Lynne Shouldice, addiction counsellor. “So, we decided to develop a family program. It isn’t counselling, but more like psycho-education — we educate the family on addiction, operating from the disease model.” The family meetings offer an opportunity for the clients’ families to identify and discuss how their loved one’s addiction has affected them, learn more about addiction, and get access to resources that can help them cope. “There’s no place like this for family to go to if they need
some help,” Shouldice said. “We recommend resources to them which include services and support groups like Al-Anon and Smart Recovery, helpful books and videos on YouTube, websites they can go to, and any other educational information that’s out there.” The slogan for the family program is A Time for You, because affected family members often focus solely on helping the addict, and tend to forget about their own healing. “The biggest challenge when meeting with family is that they want to talk about the client, so this program is meant for them to talk about themselves, and focus on what they are going through as their loved one’s addiction impacts their life,” said Shouldice. “They need a place to talk about it, they need to be educated on addiction, and they need resources provided to them that can help.” The family program encourages those affected by a loved one’s addiction to develop a plan of

Keep ‘Ktown’ a community
I
grew up in Oxford Mills, just to clarify. For the better part of my life, Kemptville was the ‘town,’ a dirty word in the rural language. We were the ‘country’ people, who led simpler lives without easy access to restaurants and banks. We had to travel for those luxuries. The ‘townies’ were just different; not really sure why. Kemptville had a population of less than 1,000 people in those days. Not exactly a sprawling metropolis. I am nearly positive we all led very similar lives, but we were still separate. I know this sounds like the reminiscence of a centurion, but I can assure you Kemptville – more commonly referred to as ‘Ktown’ – has changed so significantly in the past two decades that it feels like 100 years had passed. I know there are a lot of newcomers to our community, and I am a big supporter of growth. The bigger this town becomes, the more I can eventually sell my house for. And who can argue with that? The more the merrier I say. But there is one thing I want to remind everyone in this community about. Twenty years ago, Kemptville was nothing more than a tiny town. I realize many of you were not around to witness the seemingly sudden and significant change here, but that’s what happened. Sometime after high school – about a decade ago – this community became a highly desirable commuter community. The growth has been

ergus and I attended a very special grand opening this past weekend. The ribbon has been cut on the local off-leash dog park. I wasn’t sure we were going at first. The Ferg has not yet completed basic training (he starts this week) and he doesn’t walk well on a leash. I had no idea what he would do if let him off it, around strange dogs. We followed the directional signs through the Ferguson Forest Centre to the new dog park. Fergus didn’t need any signs. He could smell the way. Dozens of dogs were already there, lining up to form a parade behind some bagpipers and municipal officials. He started to whimper and whine in the back seat as I pulled into a spot. So many smells. So many dogs. Let me ouuuuut … As we passed the bagpipers tuning up, Fergus shot one of them a worried look. He wasn’t sure why the man was squeezing and torturing the bag that way but it clearly hurt, as evidenced by the mournful sound leaking out of it. Then he turned and saw the dogs. This brood of beasts was behind the bouquet of scents and odours that had been assailing him since our
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION astounding. Almost dizzying. I have seen more change in this community than I care to say. Tim Hortons, in my youth, was a thing of dreams. Now you can multiple that by two. We grew up with two restaurants. Now there are over a dozen. Subdivisions are popping up in this town like crazy. New homes, new neighbours – the changes are overwhelming. It’s all good news, as far as I’m concerned. But we can’t forget our roots. This is my hometown. There was nothing here back in the day, and now strip malls are the norm. I get it – progress. But at the end of the day this will always be Ktown – home to the people who lived here before it was the fastest (or third fastest) growing community in eastern Ontario. We made this place a community. And we have the power to keep it a community, by continuing to bring people together. There is no ‘we’ and ‘them’ anymore, like there used to be ‘townies’ and ‘country folk.’ We are all in this together. I plan to live here for many more years and the one change I don’t want to witness is a break-up of community. In times of change, there is nothing more important than coming together.

arrival. He cheerfully approached a lounging pug and tried to introduce himself by sniffing his tail. The smaller, more mature dog gave Fergus a look of disgust as if to say, calm down, little punk. Ferg got the message and moved along. Pulling as hard as he could on his leash, he bumped noses with one dog after another until he had met most of the group. A nervous Shepherd-mix shot out from the shade when Fergus got close, and snapped at his nose. Fergus ducked his head and skulked away. Fine, be that way. A woman with an adult Golden Retriever came over to meet Fergus. “Is he a Golden?” she asked. I nodded. She appeared unconvinced. “His legs are a little long, and his hair is kinda short …” I explained that he was at that gangly stage, just six months old. Ferg as-
sessed her tone and gave me a look. What does she mean, mom? What’s wrong with my legs? I scratched his ears and led him away from the woman. I was surprised that the parade actually worked and Fergus was willing to march along with the crowd. I guess he just wanted to follow the other dogs — and the smell of grilled meat might have been leading them in the right direction, as a barbecue was set up at the dog park entrance. Once everyone had assembled, some dignitaries spoke about the idea behind the park, the groundswell of community and corporate support, and the tireless efforts of volunteers to make it happen. The park is about four and a half acres of wide open space leading into a forest on a hill. It’s doggy heaven. They even have bins for your dog waste, buckets for dog water and benches for humans to sit on. Donors have planted trees that will provide shade in the coming years. Each tree bears a plaque in remembrance of that donor’s four-legged friend. While these speeches were happening, the canines were grow-
ing restless. The occasional insult and retort rang out. Fergus’ head whipped around as if he understood what they were barking for. Come here and say that to my face he replied, as he locked eyes with a grumpy Wolfhound panting in the shade of a cedar. Some of the smaller dogs started to pick fights with the bigger breeds, as they do. It’s a good thing the park includes a segregated area for those that suffer from small-dog complex. Once inside the gates and off leash, however, I witnessed something I had only read about in books. Having never been to a dog park before, I’ve never seen strange dogs interacting off leash. The quarrelling stopped, as dogs big
and small bounded across the green grass side by side. Occasionally you would hear one put another in his place, but those conversations were over after one quick bark or growl. I kept Fergus on leash just to be safe, but I let him trot along and introduce himself to everyone. I’m looking forward to the day when I feel he has had sufficient training to come when I call and heed my commands. Then we can return to the dog park for some off-leash fun and he can revel in the joy of his own language. Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

“We don’t have enough family to replenish 125 units, so we’re hoping this goes viral and gets the word out to everybody.” “We were fortunate enough to be with him in his final moments and told him we were going to do something really great with this experience,” Becky stated. While supporting Dustin in his battle, Becky said her eyes were opened to the blood shortage in Canada. “Right now, only four per cent of eligible Canadians donate. That’s a shocking statistic to me,” she remarked. “That means if we were to stop collecting today, there would only be enough supplies to last the next six days.” “One in two Canadians will require a transfusion in their lifetime,” Becky continued. “If I look at the size of my family, that means three people in my immediate family could be affected.” Oct. 2 drive in Kemptville Another drive has been scheduled for Oct. 2 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville, where Dustin was born to Judy and Ron Littau and spent his youth. The clinic runs from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 7:30 p.m. Both Becky and Judy noted the North Grenville and Mississippi Mills communities have been very supportive. “My goal would be to have the North Grenville clinic be the biggest one they’d ever done before,” Judy noted, adding she hopes to establish an annual golf tournament in Dustin’s honour as he was a “golf fanatic,” and practically lived at Rideau Glen Golf Course. When donating, they ask that people spread the hashtag #DonateForDustin “to make sure it goes viral on social media and we get the awareness out there,” said Judy. It’s not just about donating today, but it’s three months from now or whenever you’re eligible again,” Becky said. “If we can start people donating now, even my group of friends, then they will continue to do it.” The pair will also be selling red bracelets in Dustin’s memory for $2; the proceeds of which will go to Canadian Blood Services. Through its One Match swabbing events, Canadian Blood Services is seeking males between the ages of 17 to 35 to join the stem cell registry. Currently, approximately 1,000 patients in Canada are waiting for stem cell matches. According to Canadian Blood Services’ One Match spokesperson Jessica Stergiou, males produce more stem cells than females. “In males there’s also a lower risk of graft versus host disease becoming present in the patient and younger stem cells provide lower risk,” she stated. “Younger male stem cells provide a better outcome for patients posttransplant.” It’s a simple process to get on the registry. Stergiou said those interested Oct. 2 can come by, fill out a consent
form and “if they’re medically in a good position to donate,” four swabs will be taken of their cheeks. “That’s it,” she said, adding that it’s likely individuals will never hear from the registry again, unless they are a match. Those unable to make it Oct. 2 can go online to www.onematch.ca, fill out the relevant forms and have a kit mailed to their home. More information on being a stem cell donor can also be found at the site. Stergiou applauded the efforts of Becky and Judy, noting that when clinics are held in honour of a com-
“This is someone the community knows who received blood products … to know that you can actually put a face to it, makes it more real for donors,” she said. Making an appointment to give blood at the Oct. 2 clinic is easy as well. Visit www.blood.ca to reserve a time and find out more about donation eligibility. “It’s easy to be a donor, but diffiAshley Kulp/Metroland cult to be a recipient,” Becky said. “ … If we can have one person out that munity member, “it makes it real for has never donated, I would consider it people.” successful.”
Becky Littau stands behind a blood donor poster after giving blood Sept. 14 at the Almonte Civitan Club. That clinic and another on Oct. 2 in Kemptville are being held in honour Littau’s late husband Dustin who lost his battle with cancer.

Equi-Soul: Conquering trauma and stress with equine-assisted learning BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
At Lone Wolf Farm in Burritts Rapids, Amber Williams runs a unique business called Equi-Soul. Her program partners people with horses to help them identify and express their otherwise inaccessible or incommunicable emotions, traumas, memories and fears. This practice is known as Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL). “EAL is a program that helps people find solutions to conflicts in their lives with horses,” said Williams. “Participants learn how to deal with problems such as depression, anxiety, family discord, grief or loss, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders, drug addiction and more.” EAL can also help with personal development and growth, control, teamwork, trust, and respect, among others. This alternative type of healing provides opportunities for people to set new goals, focus on and accomplish current goals, and evaluate where they are in life and where they’d like to be. Horses are smart and sensitive creatures, and since they are prey animals, they are especially sensitive to their surroundings. “Due to their nature, they give immediate feedback which reflects to us their sense of who we are and what we are presenting – whether positive or negative,” said Williams. “Horses can teach us trust, respect, personal control, influence, boundaries and patience.” On Sept. 7, Williams held a session with four participants. They took turns working oneon-one with the horse, and the fellow group members provided feedback at the conclusion of the exercises. One of the participants, Stachia Miller, was placed on top of a well-practiced EAL horse named Tux. Her coach, Lucie Rousseau, placed four long, horizontal posts around Miller and Tux to box them in. Each post represented a different aspect of Rousseau's life – her business with her husband, her children, her grandmother, and herself. Miller and Tux were visibly discomforted by the confining borders and the limited amount of space within them. As Rousseau placed the final post behind them, Tux took a few distressed steps back. “I want you to think about each of these borders, and the different kinds of stress they are currently creating in your life,” Rousseau said to Miller. Miller was quiet and pensive, and Tux stood still. “They each contribute to

your quality of life and your well-being.” Rousseau circled them to observe body language. Placing the participant upon a horse is an effective tactic to establish a sense of power and control. One by one, Miller and Tux rotated to focus on each post and what it represented. Rousseau began to ask Miller questions about the stress from each aspect of her life, and how her role changes to deal with each of them. “What’s the biggest contributor of stress right now?” Rousseau asked. “Which one is taking up the most of your time and energy?” If Miller was slow to respond, Tux would rotate and point to a certain post. His showed the group which area Miller was focused on. When Rousseau called Miller to focus on the fourth post, representing herself, Tux backed away. “I don’t want to focus on myself,” Miller said. “I’m not wor-
ried about that.” Rousseau continued with the questions. “Of these four components, which one do you want to focus on the most? Which stress do you truly want to overcome?” As she concentrated on the question, Miller began to pet Tux. He turned to the third post, representing Miller’s business with her husband, and stepped into it, knocking it over. Following the exercise, the group discussed the questions asked, methods demonstrated, and the overall effectiveness. “Traditional talk therapy isn’t for everyone, so this is another option,” said Williams. “It can be a lot more effective in the sense that it’s more informal, takes place in a mutual setting, and we usually start off by talking about the animals and then ease into talking about the participants; it’s much easier that way to get the open conversation flowing.” The exercise builds a strong bond between the participant
and the horse, as trust needs to be earned on both sides. “It’s really interesting to watch how they interact with the horse, and how the horse interacts with them. It tells me about what’s going on inside that person, and if they aren’t even able to illustrate it, the horse will do it for them,” Williams said. “It’s amazing. It’s a whole different method of what some would call therapy.”
The exercises are often “mock” scenarios, where the participants will be given a specific situation and position to act in. “The situations aren’t real, but no matter what, you can’t fake the emotion,” said Williams. “It comes out, and it’s really fascinating.” Williams explained that the program is also helpful to those who have faced a recent loss and are suffering from grief. Children are es-
pecially responsive to the exercises and love to work with the animals as well. “With children, if they aren’t fitting in, or are being bullied, this will help them communicate their anger and frustration. It’s hard for them to talk to people,” said Williams. “Being with the animals is sort of like their instant buddy, they connect with them really well.” Williams just began Equi-Soul one year ago. She was trained with the people from Higher Trails, who have recently changed their name to EAL Canada. “They’re actually the third ranked in Canada for the volume of people that they’ve trained. It’s really starting to take flight,” she said. “It’s huge out west, where they’re from, and it’s starting to creep into Ontario. There are some programs around Petawawa, with the soldiers, but otherwise it’s not really well-known.” The biggest struggle for Williams is trying to explain to people what EAL is all about. “Many assume it’s only for those suffering with PTSD, autism, or disabilities, but it can benefit anyone,” she said. When Williams has enough people signed up for a session, she will design an exercise for them to practice as a group. Sessions typically run for an hour and a half, and some exercises can take multiple sessions to complete, depending on the depth of the conflicts being worked through. Exercises can be done on horseback or on the ground, depending on the comfort level of the participants. EAL is open to anyone, whether they are experienced with horses or not. Williams hopes to create awareness about EAL in order to provide people with another outlet for their everyday struggles. If you are interested in learning more about Equi-Soul or want to schedule an appointment, contact Amber Williams at equi-soul@outlook.com or 613-880-9660. Equi-Soul is run out of Lone Wolf Farm at 4631 Burritts Rapids Road.

Bob Denny, James Clugston, Allan M osc avitch, Leela Kowlessar, Wendy Earl, Caroline Marshall – the new pit band for We’ll Meet Again.
BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
Eight churches in the Kemptville area have been working together to serve the community through familyfriendly events and charity initiatives. On Saturday, Sept. 2, the churches came together at Riverside Park to host a free movie night which was open to the public. More than 100 people came out in their pyjamas with blankets and lawn chairs to watch the movie Sing, which Sequoia Church projected onto a large, inflatable black “screen.” The Salvation Army and other affiliated churches provided snacks and hot chocolate. Southgate Church provided an inflatable bouncy castle for the kids. “There’s a Kemptville Ministerial that meets monthly, and we do so for mutual encouragement and to plan ways for our churches to serve our community together,” said Ryan Dawson, lead pastor of Sequoia Church. The eight participating churches include Sequoia Church, Southgate Church, the Salvation Army, Kemptville Pentecostal Church, Kemptville Christian Reformed Church, North Grenville Community Church, St. James Anglican Church, St. John’s United Church and St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. The churches have collaborated on a number of community-oriented ini-

has taught us,” said Dawson. “When we come together to serve in these ways, we are demonstrating the bond we have in Christ. As churches, we all have our various distinctions and ways of living out our faith, but we are united in loving God and loving our community, so it’s a joy to serve our community through these initiatives.” Stay tuned for more local efforts from these churches at www.KemptvilleChurches.webstarts.com.
th
We’ll Meet Again director, Louise Atchison, had this to say about our new pit band. “In earlier productions in Kemptville of We’ll Meet Again, piano was the only accompaniment. However, I discovered a reference to a pit band in the prologue which I had completely ignored in the past, diving directly into the music and the action. I phoned one of the three writers, Paul Gaffney, to ask if he had any recollection of pit band scores,” Atchison said. “A few weeks earlier the arranger, Gary Morton, had decided to downsize, and had asked Paul if he had any use for the pit band scores. Paul took them but then decided to delete them. They were ‘waiting beside the recycling box for the next pick up,’ he said. Timing is everything. I dashed for Ottawa and

soon had the scores, handwritten in India ink, on large standalone card stock. They are works of art. “Therefore, we have the added texture and depth of sound in the pits of: a trumpet — Allan Moscovitch, a sax — Leela Kowlesser, a guitar — Bob Denney, a bass — Caroline Marshall and the drums — James Clugston. The ubiquitous piano played once again by Wendy Earl. The moral of the story is: always read the prologue,” she added.

were taken down in the process of making the forest more useable for dogs and their owners. They also seeded the park, did the tree planting, and have been tremendously supportive.” Doucette also thanked his partners on North Grenville Dog Parks, including vice-president Candice O’Connell, Lorna Mitchell, Sheryl Smith, Jessica Heyerhoff, Andrea Hamilton and Kathryn Pentland-Bruck. “And to our sponsors, first and foremost, Frank Hoffman, owner of Canadian Tire. Frank was at the first committee of the whole meeting when we brought our request to council,” he explained. Hoffman was the founding sponsor who gave North Grenville Dog Parks Inc. the initial financial backing, Doucette said. “What a beautiful day to have a dog park opening,” said Hoffman. “I heard about this meeting that Carl wanted to have a dog park and this town really needed this dog park. At the first meeting, I was there and immediately, the next morning, it was emails and phone calls and I was the first sponsor, and I’m still doing it, which is great, and I’m very pleased to be a founder for this dog park. It is a beautiful spot. This town, and this area. It’s a beautiful park. Thanks for being here with all your lovely dogs, they will really enjoy this.” Doucette took a few minutes to thank more sponsors of the park, in-

They’re an enhancement to the park, but these memori-
als to a loved son, a loving husband, a loving wife who left us much too soon, and to pets who have passed, make this more than a place to run and socialize our dogs. It becomes a place of meditation and remembrance for those left behind. It is truly touching, and during your stay in the park today, take a few minutes to read these dedications.” The park wouldn’t have been possible without volunteers, Doucette noted, who spent countless hours in the summer building the 2,500 feet of fencing, 260 fence posts and three utility gates. “Tim Lennox of Ferguson Forest, Dan and Jennifer Cleary, Ed Campbell, Karen and Glenn McClymont, Christina Koblbauer, Tom Casar, and for one
special day, Phil Mosher and his fellow runners who set posts for the entire southern side of the park,” he said. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon said it was a great day for dog lovers in the municipality and credited the hard work of volunteers. “Without the volunteers, this would not have happened. I have to admit, that I had my doubts with all this rain this summer that they could actually complete the task, and surprise-surprise, just look at this,” he said. “This is beautiful. This brings a benefit and a quality to North Grenville that we’ve never had, and I thank all of the volunteers. Everybody, this is your day, the dog owners’ day, so enjoy it. I know I’m going to, so thank you for coming.” Along with the mayor, Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin and Coun. Frank Onasanya were in attendance and oversaw the ribbon cutting ceremony, conducted by Gordon and Doucette. Following the ribbon cutting, the gates were opened and the dogs were free to roam off-leash in the park. Among the many dogs was Cali, a rescue from the Dominican Republic. “One of my wife’s acquaintances

on Facebook recommended the group, called Dogs and Cats of the Dominican Republic,” said Wayne Corrigan, Cali’s owner. “We sent them a Facebook message and they’d just captured her on a golf course.

Kemptville 73’s sit at bottom of CCHL standings seven games into season BY BRIAN WILSON
The 2017-18 Kemptville 73's have taken the ice. In the off-season, Ron and Lisa Tugnutt have moved on to the next chapter of their lives. After five seasons, the CCHL team has been sold. “Selling the team was not an easy decision, especially after living in Kemptville for so many years,” said Tugnutt. The new ownership group consists of Jason York, Joe Jefferies and Paul LeBreux who all reside in the OttawaKanata area. “I'm really looking forward to continuing the great success of the Kemptville 73's, on and off the ice,” stated York. The head coach responsibilities will be handled by Rob Dopson. Dopson was an assistant with the 73's last year and has a 15-year professional hockey career on his resume, including a stop in the NHL. Scott Dexter will be one of the assistant coaches. He played his junior hockey for the Winchester Hawks and joined the 73's by way of St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, an NCAA Division 1 team. The other assistant coach will be York, who had a 13-year NHL career.
This experience will prove invaluable as they face the daunting task of forming a competitive, cohesive unit consisting of 12 to 14 CCHL rookies. Terry Nichols remains in place as general manager and Doug Rigby as assistant general manager. The season opened on Labour Day Weekend with the annual CCHL Showcase, with each team in the league playing three games over the course of the weekend. There were more than 175 scouts and recruiters present over the four days. The first challenge of the year for the 73's was facing the Ottawa Jr Senators. The Sens will be one of the toughest teams to play this year with the talent pool they have assembled. Kemptville took a first period lead on a goal by Jacob Shankar with the assists going to Liam Hunter and Tyson Kirkby, but Ottawa scored twice early in the second to take a 2-1 lead. The 73's were able to tie the game at 2-2 with a marker from Neal Samanski and the assists from Joe McGrath and Shankar. Ottawa scored two more in the second and added three in the third for a 7-2 win. The second game of the year was against the Nepean Raiders. The Raiders scored one goal per period, but the best the 73's could do was a
second-period goal from Neal Samanski. Again, the assists went to Liam Hunter and Jacob Shankar. The final was 3-1 in favour of Nepean. To wind up the weekend, the opponents were the renamed Navan (Cumberland) Grads. After a scoreless first period, Navan scored twice in the second and once in the third to take a 3-0 lead. Kemptville broke the goose egg with Liam Hunter's first of the season from Noah Rowe and John Beaton. The final was 3-1 in favour of the Grads. On Friday, Sept. 8, the season began in earnest. Kemptville travelled to Brockville to battle the Braves. Brockville scored twice in the first before Kemptville got one back in the second. Joe McGrath and Axel Cote set up Alec Taillon to make it 2-1. The Braves got that one back before McGrath made it close again. This time, the helpers went to Tyson Kirkby and Taillon. Brockville iced the victory with an empty-net goal to claim the 4-2 victory. Taillon picked up the nod for third star. Home opener Kemptville returned to North Grenville for the season home opener, Sunday, Sept. 10. The opponents were four-time league champions, the Carleton Place Canadians. The
Canadians started the season with a perfect 4-0 record. Carleton Place scored the only goal in the first and added a power-play goal nine seconds into the second. The 73's were not intimidated. They scored the next three goals. First, was Liam Hunter from Joel Holtrop and Joe McGrath. Next, came Eric Conley assisted by Tyson Kirkby. Capping the power surge was Neal Samanski from John Beaton and Kirkby. The Canadians tied the game before the end of the frame. The third was a tight defensive struggle until Jacob Thousand scored his first CCHL goal, unassisted and it was the game winner. The vaunted Carleton Place team suffered their first defeat of the year by a score of 4-3. Kemptville goalie, Peter Brooks was named first star, facing 47 shots. John Beaton picked up the second star. Friday, Sept. 15, featured a rematch against the Nepean Raiders. By early in the second, the 73's had taken a 3-1 lead. Joe McGrath and Tyson Kirkby set up Axel Cote's first goal of his CCHL career. The second goal went to Alec Taillon from Neal Samanski and Liam Hunter. Extending the lead, was Jacob Thousand's second of the year from John Beaton and Samanski. The team then shot themselves in
the foot allowing the Raiders to come back with three straight goals to make it a 4-3 game. Kemptville came back hard, and Kirkby and Beaton scored with the assists going to Eric Conley, Ashton Fry and Thousand. Again, the 73's were incapable of playing tight hockey and allowed the Raiders back in the game, tying it at 5-5 after two. Nepean scored the only goal of the third to win 6-5. The Raiders have only won two games this season, both against Kemptville. Jacob Thousand was named first star with a two-point performance. After the loss Dopson was quoted as saying: “It’s unacceptable, from everybody — coaches to the players.” “Until we learn how to play it the right way, compete for 60 minutes and players sacrifice to help us win, we’re not going to be successful,” he said. Next on the hit list were the Navan Grads on Sunday, Sept. 17 in Navan. Kemptville opened the scoring at 14:58 of the first when John Beaton and Jacob Thousand set up Alec Taillon. Just before the buzzer, Thousand scored assisted by Beaton and Damien Figueria to take a 2-0 lead into the break. Into the second, the 73's added to See 73’s page K14
