Local air cadets train throughout Ontario and beyond Air cadets from Perth, Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Merrickville, and surrounding areas spent the summer training at summer camps throughout Ontario gaining valuable experience and knowledge, having fun, and getting paid! It is hard to find a better, more enriching opportunity for local youth than the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. There is no cost to join, no cost for uniforms, and no cost to participate in official activities. Air cadets spend most of the year training at their home squadrons learning about citizenship, leadership, and participating in military style activities such as drill, parades, and marksmanship. They also have camping weekends (known as field training exercises) and sports nights. All 585 air cadets also participate in annual glider flights and powered aircraft familiarization flights, weather permitting. In addition, cadets also enjoy field trips such as the annual March Break trip and yearend trip. Optional activities include marksmanship competitions, public speaking contests, and biathlon races. Cadets are certainly kept busy throughout the school year. Each summer many of them also experience summer camp air cadetstyle. Camps are located on Canadian Forces bases throughout the country but local cadets tend to train in Ontario. Some top senior cadets even receive scholarships to earn glider or power pilot licenses. Cadets from the 585 Rideau Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets, located in Smiths Falls, attended courses at 8 Wing Trenton, Camp Borden (located near Barrie), Connaught Ranges and Primary Training Centre in Kanata, as well as Bagotville, Quebec. Some of the courses attended by our local cadets included general training (for first year cadets), avia-

In addition to these courses, some cadets were employed as staff cadets at camps and acted as instructors and leaders. During their summer training camps, air cadets are paid $10 for each training day (not Sunday), so the average cadet makes $180 during their summer camp experience, though instructors make more. Parents are not asked to pay for anything as activities are funded in partnership with National Defense and the Air Cadet League; all transportation to and from training, meals, accommodation, and essential clothing are provided. Cadets who are enrolled in high school can also earn high school credits for their training. This applies during the school year, as well as each summer training opportunity could

Tay River Pathway extension provides lasting legacy for county residents Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
If the Tay River Pathway extension is any indication, when Dianne Czerwinski and Nicola Oddy put their mind to something, nothing can stop them. The duo, who spearheaded the extension of the pathway as members of the Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends, celebrated its completion Sept. 1. Czerwinski’s father and Oddy’s mother both reside at the lodge. “We just kind of took the gates away and it was open. There were no bells and whistles, even though I kind of heard some imaginary ones in my head,” Czerwinski joked during an interview on the pathway Sept. 7. “You wouldn’t believe how much it’s been used since then,” she continued. “Last night, I came with my dad and another resident from Lanark Lodge and honestly, you can’t sit there and have it to yourself. It’s wonderful.” Located behind Lanark Lodge, the Perth Community Care Centre and the Lanark County administration building, different stages of the 1.5-kilometre pathway have been completed since 2009. The latest one, stretching, includes an accessible boardwalk and viewing platform on a tranquil section of the Tay River. The extension begins through a wooded area, with a packed stone dust making up the pathway before it transfers to a boardwalk with wooden railings. Trees and brush were cleared at a stop on the trail, where a bench has been placed for visitors to catch their
breath. “This area was sort of a sneak preview of the river,” Czerwinski said of the first stop. “You don’t see it much right now, because of the tall grasses, but in the spring and fall, it will be very, very obvious. It’s a nice feeling.” “The nice part about this one is I was out here with my mom the other morning and this spot here is in the shade in the morning,” Oddy added. “So, it’s a beautiful shady spot to sit, whereas the viewing deck is quite warm...we sat here for quite a long time actually and just took it all in.” A few feet later, the area opens up for the viewing deck, which features four benches and a glassed-in railing area to give a wide view of the river. “Wheelchairs, scooters, baby carriages, we’ve seen them all out here already,” Czerwinski stated. Families and Friends committed themselves to a tight fundraising and completion deadline. With a goal of raising a minimum of $67,000 ($28,000 was already in the bank), they began fundraising in June, with plans to complete the project by the end of August. Upon updating Lanark County council in April, the public works department agreed to finish the largest part of the extension, a 300-metre loop around an area of shady pine trees by the summer. Instead, they completed it by April 29. Czerwinski and Oddy got the ball rolling on fundraising through endeavours such as a Mother’s Day campaign and Father’s Day event, as well as auctioning off a piece of art painted by 96-year-old Lanark
Lodge resident Norman Gillies, They also secured larger donations from companies such as Hydro One ($10,000) and True Briton’s Lodge No. 14 of Perth ($20,000 over two years). “We’re still waiting for a few cheques to come in, but we’re really confident in saying that we’ve reached our goal,” Czerwinski confirmed. During the Sept. 7 Lanark County council meeting, Czerwinski and Oddy were formally presented with the $10,000 from Hydro One. The funds come from Hydro One’s Safe Communities Grant, according to the company’s customer operations manager, Jamie McMurtry, who had the opportunity to tour the trail with Czerwinski, Oddy and Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation president Reid Kilburn prior to the meeting. “This is a really great cause. I just want to thank Dianne, Nicola and Reid. They took me on a tour of the trail today and they did a fantastic job,” he remarked. “It’s really, really nice. It’s going to get a lot of use from the community and the residents here.” McMurtry said it’s important for Hydro One to give back to communities. “… Hydro One has a big presence in most of the communities in Ontario and it’s really important for us, as people who not only work in the communities but live in these communities, to give back,” he stated. “So this is one of the great ways we can do that and give these kinds of donations to great foundations like this.” See PATHWAY page 9

Stafford-Wilson tells tales of Lanark County with latest collection of short stories Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Arlene Stafford-Wilson’s sixth book will be launched at The Book Nook on Saturday Sept. 24 and the writer will be on site for a signing period from noon until 4 p.m. with refreshments. If you’re a fan of local history, you won’t want to miss the short stories in this one, including a fire that almost leveled Lanark Village; a “haunted” house, and the mysterious case of a missing boy who may still be alive and living locally. “Lanark County Classics: A Treasury of Tales from Another Time” is a collection of seven short stories that take place in the 1960s and 1970s in Perth, Lanark, Pakenham, Middleville, DeWitt’s Corners, and the former North Burgess Township. Stafford-Wilson was just a young student when she began crafting stories and poetry while attending a one-room schoolhouse in Bathurst, near Christie Lake.
“My mother began to send my poems and little stories into children’s magazines - I think one of them was called Owl Magazine, and they were published much to my mother’s delight!” she said in an email exchange with this newspaper. When she was 11, she attended Glen Tay Public School and was still writing poems and stories. “At the time I was the editor of the Glen Tay School newspaper. I entered a national writing contest sponsored by ‘The Enthusiast’ magazine - a publication for young people, and I won the contest. The prize was the book ‘The Elements of Style’.” She continued to write and was encouraged by her teachers, Mrs. Dencie Conboy and Mrs. Tina McIntyre. “I did well, influenced by so many excellent teachers in that school - Shirley Kelford, Sharon Bell, Richard Frizzell, and our principal David Crowley. I graduated valedictorian and best all round student. Quite an accomplishment for a little farm kid from the Third Line

Arlene Stafford-Wilson will launch her sixth book this Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Book Nook in Perth. of Bathurst!” Stafford-Wilson said her mother sold her farm after her father passed away, and her mother lived in an “One day while we were visiting her I heard a familiar voice, turned and there was my former English teacher Mrs. Tina McIntyre. She chatted with me for
a few minutes, then went up to her room and came down with an old folder filled with my poetry that I had written in grade 7 and 8. We read through them and shared some memories,” Stafford-Wilson wrote. Years later when Mrs. McIntyre passed away, StaffordWilson received a Fed Ex envelope in the mail and it was from her daughter Brenda. Mrs. McIntyre had saved all of my poetry and stories that I had written in her class and Brenda was returning them. That really touched my heart.” As a teenager, her parents took them on a family vacation through the Adirondack mountains. “We stopped for gas and there was a little book store and I saw a lovely red leather bound book called “My Family Roots”, I used all of my spending money on that book and began to do our family’s
genealogy. Later, I joined the Lanark County Genealogical Society and became their newsletter editor and held that position for four or five years. I am still involved with the society, after 20 years, and on Oct. 1 I will be their guest speaker at their 35th anniversary celebration, so that is a real honour for me.” For the past few years, Stafford-Wilson has been a member of the Association of Professional Genealogist where she does research for families - some in the United States, some in Europe and some here in Canada helping to trace their roots back to Lanark County. “My parents were both avid story tellers,” she said, as you will find out in her latest book. “My dad was a farm boy who grew up on the 11th line of Drummond Township and he had many stories that he shared with us. My mother was a La-
nark County fair judge and she travelled to Madoc, Lombardy, Maberly, Perth - almost any local fair in the county and judged baking and also sewing and fancy work like quilts, doilies, crocheting and knitting,” she stated. “Our ancestor Tobias Stafford came from County Wexford, Ireland and was among the first settlers in Drummond Township in 1816, so our Lanark County roots run deep. This year we are celebrating 200 years since settling in the county, so you can likely see why Lanark County will always remain in my heart.” When Stafford-Wilson’s mother passed away in 2007, she said she wanted to preserve her recipes. “She had been a keen competitor at all of the local fairs for many years, then became a See AUTHOR page 5

fair judge and so I wanted to share her recipes with her grandchildren. My first book, ‘Recipes and Recollections’ is a collection of 93 of her prizewinning recipes and stories from myself and my four siblings about growing up on a small farm. My first book was originally used as a fund-raiser for Calvin United Church near DeWitt’s Corners - the little church our mother had taken us to when we were growing up. It was important for us to give back in some way and to do something with the money raised from her recipes. The book became very popular and there were many requests to write more stories. I decided that I would share some of my stories of growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, and so the series on Lanark County was born!” Don’t miss this latest tribute to those Lanark County roots, and don’t be surprised to find your name, or that of a loved one inside the pages. “One of the things that I

hope readers will take away from my books is a sense of what it was like growing up in the 1960s and 1970s and how different things are today. Imagine living in the times where we had a party line and phone calls were shared with the neighbours. Now many young children have their own cell phones. What a difference! We were isolated out in the country attending one-room school houses. That is also a big change. Boys would ‘disappear’ for a few weeks during the maple syrup harvest so they could help at home. No one thought anything of it. We played outside, ran around, swam in the Tay River and Christie Lake, and rode our bikes up and down the Third Line. We never worried about our weight because we were so busy playing outside.” Stafford-Wilson said she hopes to preserve a slice of history, so that many years from now, when there is no one left to remember, someone could pick up one of her books and they would have a first-hand account of life on a small farm
during that time. “I also make a point of listing people’s names and telling the reader who was there, and what role they played. I hope that this reminds the reader that everyone played their part - not just the prominent citizens of the time who will already be recorded in history, but the local farmer, the people who ran the general store, the ladies who organized an event and the neighbours living up the road. They all played a part and should be remembered. I also try to list the names of people’s mothers and fathers in the book, to help future genealogists in their research, and so readers can see family connections.” Her target audience is anyone who is interested in stories about the area whether they are her peers who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, or the generation before, or even youngsters who want to find out more about our history. “When I write a book I never use offensive language, so that anyone of any age group could enjoy the stories.”

Bartleman to speak at Truth and Lyons Goodfellow FURNITURE Reconciliation event set for Sept. 27 Wood Sale ON NOW! Former Ontario Lieutenant-Governor James Bartleman is the keynote speaker at a gathering on Sept. 27 designed to generate greater local understanding of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s calls for action. Hosted by the Community Issues Working Group of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families, “A Journey to Truth and Reconciliation in Lanark County” will bring together community service providers, community leaders from municipal, recreational, educational and faith-based organizations, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners who care about this important work. “The findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the resulting calls for action have left many people wondering how they could possibly make a dif-
ference,” explained Jane Torrance, community coordinator of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children Youth and Families. “We wanted to organize an event that would help get those conversations started and to show our Lanark County community that we all have a part to play in moving this initiative forward.” Bartleman will provide a national perspective and context to the issue. The day will also feature guest speakers Larry McDermott, a local Indigenous activist who has focused on human rights and the environment, who will lead the discussion on the Lanark County perspective, and a student from the Upper Canada District School Board, to provide insight from the youth perspective. In the afternoon, Upper Canada District School Board teacher Jim Palmer will lead the group
in the Blanket Exercise, which is a powerful, interactive activity that helps to illustrate CanadianIndigenous history from pre-contact through colonization to the present. A thanksgiving address led by an Elder, as well as drumming by the Lanark County Drum Circle, a smudge ceremony, indigenous food and an opportunity for fishing will be among the activities. The Lanark County Planning Council will also present its commitment statement to the calls for action. The event takes on Sept. 27 at Camp Merrywood, 741 Port Elmsley Road, Perth. Registration begins at 9 a.m. All are welcome and the event is free, however donations are encouraged.Space is limited, so please preregister by Sept. 22 at https://www.eventbrite. ca/e/a-journey-to-trutha n d - re c o n c i l l i at i o n in-lanark-county-tickets-25971856522.

Mills Community Support offers wonderful weave of food, entertainment and art Oct. 1 Come experience the weave of tapastree….music, morsels and memories, a not-to-be-missed celebration of local food, talent and community, and a fundraiser for Mills Community Support. To be held Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Almonte Old Town Hall, from 6 to 9:30 p.m., this wonderful evening takes place on National Seniors’ Day and the International Day of Older Persons, with proceeds going to supplement our seniors’ programs and services. “Tapastree” is a play on words and gives an idea of the event’s theme – weaving a tapestry of taste, sight, and sound, all grounded in the creativity and interconnectedness of our communities. Delicious food served in a small plates format – or “tapas” – kicks off the evening. Prepared by a select group of local chefs – including Heirloom Café and Bistro, Café Postino, Ginger Café, Jessica’s Syrian Foods, Palms Café, the Pakenham General Store, Your Independent in Carleton Place, and the new Beckwith Kitchen - will be complemented by craft beer from Cartwright Springs in Pakenham, and local wine. Dessert, accompanied by a coffee service from Fluid Solar Roasted and Fulton’s, will take place amid the “salons” of the tapastree art show and sale, featuring local artists and artisans who will be generously donating 25 per cent of sales to the event proceeds. The abundance continues after the food service with a fantastic variety
show highlighting local musical and theatrical talent. Entertainment for the evening will feature accomplished pianist Kathryn Briggs and award-winning singer/ songwriter and finger-style guitarist Terry Tufts. Individually wellknown and well-respected as musicians, together Kathryn and Terry present their own special weave of musical artistry, humour, wit and melody. Also appearing will be up and coming singer-songwriter Sarah Milligan with a solo performance, and Sage Age Theatre, a 25-years-young sketch comedy troupe, who will entertain with their improv theatre by seniors, about seniors and for everyone. Incredible support from sponsors, community partners and volunteers has woven a strong foundation for the event. Orchard View by the Mississippi, including Joe Princiotta and the Orchard View family, has taken a leadership role as Presenting sponsor for tapastree. As Joe commented, “Orchard View by the Mississippi is pleased to be partnering with the Mills Community Support in the journey to provide quality seniors services in our community. We are excited to be able to share the gifts of talent and resources that each of our residents, our team and our home has to offer to build a strong and supportive community within Mississippi Mills.” Key community sponsorships have also been developed with Bean Chevrolet in Carleton Place, Carleton Place Terrace and Canadian Hydro Components.

As Karen Milligan, chair of the board for Mills Community Support says, “We believe the quality of life in a community is linked to how it views aging and how it cares for its elders.

here’s no shortage of great ideas to effect positive change in our communities throughout the tri-county area and now is the time to put those ideas to work. Aviva Canada announced this week it is now accepting submissions for the 2016 Aviva Community Fund competition, which includes a pot of $1 million to spread to successful initiatives across the province. This isn’t small change. People can submit projects in three categories – community resilience, community health and community development. Those are also broken down into two funding levels – small ideas (under $50,000) or large ideas ($50,000 to $100,000). Now’s the time to submit your applications and there’s limited time to do it. The request for submissions opened Sept. 20 and closes Oct. 6. Voting for the projects begins soon after, on Oct. 11. Finalists will be announced Nov. 7 and winners will be revealed Dec. 6.
New this year, winning participants will gain valuable resources, training and education through CanadaHelps.org. Our area has seen success through the competition in years past, most recently in 2015 when LAWS was awarded $5,000 towards their goal of a new shelter. These funds have the power to make an idea a reality, whether it’s campaigning to construct a new splash pad in your community, funding for youth centre programs, improvements to a community centre, startup funds for farmers’ markets, or installing a new bandshell in the park, every dollar helps and gets these projects closer to breaking ground and changing lives. There’s nothing we love more as your community newspaper, than bragging about the people doing great things in our areas. And there’s no shortage of extraordinary individuals and ideas in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Take a look at the competition rules or submit your idea at avivacommunityfund.org.
Special visitor greeted with morning blast from Father The morning sounds never varied. Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morning without fail. Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the

lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox. Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a log from the wood box on top. I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click and the door close behind him. Then I heard sounds I had never heard before...oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line! Well, did that get the whole house up in a hurry! He was swearing in German, so I knew

it must be something serious. Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house! “Don’t open the door,” he hollered. And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk! Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom

Hydro One presented a $10,000 donation to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation during the Sept. 7 Lanark County council meeting at the administration building in Perth. The funds will go towards the recently-completed Tay River Pathway extension between the county building and Lanark Lodge. Above, from left: Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends’ Nicola Oddy, Lanark County Warden Gail Code, Hydro One customer operations manager Jamie McMurtry, Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends’ Dianne Czerwinski and Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation president Reid Kilburn. Left, Oddy, left, and Czerwinski, right, with Jason Munro of True Briton’s Lodge who donated $10,000 toward the project. The lodge is donating another $10,000 in 2017 to go towards further development of the pathway. Above, a stone dust trail leads to the accessible viewing deck. Right, a boardwalk leads visitors through a wooded area to a larger viewing platform.
The Masons of True Briton’s Lodge No. 14 also provided $10,000 of their $20,000 commitment on Sept. 14. The additional $10,000 will be given to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation, who will manage the pathway, in 2017 for further development of the route. “We are still overwhelmed by the generosity of the Masons and we are product to have them, along with Hydro One Inc., as partners in this project,” Oddy stated. Lanark County Warden Gail Code applauded the efforts of all involved in the project. “The communities all came together to make this happen and you’re all amazing,” she said. “Thank you.” Community support Czerwinski and Oddy credited project manager Kevin James of Kevin James Construction for keeping things on track during the eight days of construction on the pathway extension, which began July 20. James volunteered his time and assistance also came from the Lanark-Leeds Home Builders Association. “He (James) rallied the community of contractors who do this kind of build so we would have days where we had eight
people here from different construction companies and the construction companies would donate anywhere from one to three members of their crew,” Czerwinski explained. “The guys were paid, but the construction company itself donated it.” Throughout the entire process, the duo were humbled by the generosity of the community. From donations of lumber from Perth Home Hardware, to former architects volunteering their time to complete the design plan for the project. “It’s hard to mention anyone in particular because everybody did something to help us, what they could,” Czerwinski explained. “It just shocked us, surprised us and made us think, ‘What an incredible community.’” Oddy said 118 individuals made donations “and maybe 20 businesses and a lot of clubs and groups.” The day the viewing platform was installed, Czerwinski and Oddy came to the realization the project would actually be completed. “It was one of the happiest days of my life,” Oddy remarked. “Walking down here, we had tears running down our faces that day,” added Czerwinski. Looking as if its nestled between mature trees, the construction required special effort
by James and his crew. The end result is truly the jewel in the pathway extension, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and the wildlife surrounding them. “You sit up here and you can see birds flying by and fish jumping and there’s a great big frog that we’ve named Jack that hangs out here and of little frogs around as well,” Oddy said, interrupted by the croak of some frogs. “There’s beavers around here and muskrats.” Oddy indicated the addition of the glassed-in railing adds to the accessibility factor, allowing people in wheelchairs with an unobstructed view. “...We’re really happy with the looks and the results. We think it’s stunningly beautiful,” she said. Though they call this portion phase one, Czerwinski and Oddy said the contribution of Families and Friends to the Tay River Pathway is now complete. They had a vision to give people living in long-term care a chance to reconnect with nature and that has been achieved. “...People, when they live in long-term care, generally they live in a building and don’t have a lot of day-to-day contact not just with the outdoors, but with people. They don’t see children playing, they don’t see families sitting at a picnic table, they don’t see dogs running,” Czerwinski commented. “...What
we end up doing (with the pathway) is reintegrating the people in long-term care homes back into society and it’s rich. It’s a really rich thing and it’s better than any medicine they can get.” It is there hope that someone else picks up the reins and takes the pathway to the next level. “We got the ball rolling,” Oddy said. “...There’s a lot out there and there just needs to be someone to get on it. It would be a shame for the ball to stop rolling now.” Looking out on the Tay River, Oddy remarked, “I wouldn’t change a thing.” “Would you?” she asked Czerwinski. “Not at all.”

smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again! It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight and we were warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly. Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water from the reservoir. Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunk-drenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure. Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses. Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside and not from Father. Emerson pretended to gag and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry. There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

Annual Fall Colours Hike descends Blueberry Mountain Oct. 2 This engaging nature experience fits in nicely with MMLT’s new Wild Child initiative. Research tells us that many of our children are disconnected from the natural world. The digital age brings many advantages and opens up countless doors but no matter how captivating and addictive, the screen can never touch the depth of our souls or cultivate what it means to be fully human as does immersing ourselves in nature.
When children discover nature they come to love it and soon become advocates for the natural world. This not only applies to children but to the wild child in all of us. It’s a win-win situation. Our Fall Colours Hike will take place on Sunday, Oct. 2, with registration beginning at 10 a.m. The hike starts at 10:30 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are free.
The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust will be holding its annual Fall Colours Hike to Blueberry Mountain on Sunday, Oct. 2. Above, hikers celebrate after reaching the mountain, which boasts incredible views of the season’s foliage.
Howard Clifford, as the legendary John Muir, will be stationed at the waterfall to share stories with children and to chat with adults who wish to drop by either on the way up or on the way down from the mountain. The hike to the top is a gradual, 45-minute climb with one short, steep rise to reach the lookout. Why not pack a picnic to enjoy at the peak? Desserts will be
served after the walk. Children under 12 will be awarded certificates for making the climb. There’s also an 80 Plus Club for any octogenarians wanting a challenge. It’s a great experience for all generations! Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Bright-

This annual fundraising event, sponsored by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT), is a favourite for people of all ages. What better place to view the glorious autumn colours and share a picnic with family and friends than on the top of Blueberry Mountain? Local botanist David White puts it this way: “The panoramic view from the hilltop is unmatched in the county.”

Youth homelessness awareness campaign comes to Lanark County Joe Roberts, the man who is pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise funds and awareness for youth homelessness, will arrive in Lanark County next week. Roberts, who experienced the hardships of homelessness himself as a young adult on the streets of Vancouver, became a successful entrepreneur and is now giving back. He started his 9,000 km journey in May of this year, and will be making hundreds of stops in communities to be involved in local events across the country. Local events Friday, Sept. 30 Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. is holding a barbecue to welcome Joe from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their dealership at 375 McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place. The Beckwith Butcher will be preparing the food, generously donated by Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd., and Rental Village will assist with the set-up for lunch. Everyone is welcome to come and learn more about youth homelessness in our community and hear Joe speak. Following the barbecue, Joe will be making a special presentation to the students at the Carleton Place High School, along with students from other local schools Saturday, Oct. 1 Come out the Perth Farmers’ Market at the Crystal Palace on the Tay Basin from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about the inter-related issues of food security and youth homelessness in the community. Ready to work up a sweat? Make a donation to Push For Change and walk like Joe on one of our treadmills. The Table and Perth Farmers’ Market will also be holding their annual Chili Cook Off and Cider Pressing. You can sample and vote with a donation, then purchase a bowl of your favourite chili and wash it down with some fresh apple cider. All pro-
Your support helps save lives www.heartandstroke.on.ca
ceeds will go to The Table’s Harvest Campaign, and be sure to bring a non-perishable food donation for The Table. Be sure to stay around until after noon to hear Joe speak. Monday, Oct. 3 Joe will be making a special presentation to the students at the Smiths Falls Collegiate Institute. Want to get involved? Everyone is welcome to attend the barbecue on Sept. 30 at the Perth Farmers’ Market on Oct. 1. Take the Barefoot Challenge: Participate by texting BOOTSUWLC to 41010 to donate $10 towards preventing youth homelessness, go without your boots or shoes for one hour, and share your experience by posting pictures or videos on social media. Walk with Joe Health & Wellness Challenge: Register as an individuals or a team, set a fundraising goal and match Joe’s steps. Celebrity cart: Raise $1,000 per kilometre to walk with Joe using an online crowd funding. Donate: Visit www.thepushforchange.com, or to give specifically to local initiatives, go to www.lanarkunitedway.com. The Push for Change, partnering together with Raise the Roof Canada and The National Coalition to End Youth Homelessness, are working to build a Prevention Framework called “The Upstream Project.” The Push for Change will share funds raised while in Lanark County and Smiths Falls between the Upstream Project and the United Way Lanark County, who will distribute the funds to agencies serving homeless youth.

Bridget Jones’s Baby a real charmer for fans MOVIE: Bridget Jones’s Baby STARRING: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Sarah Solemani and Emma Thompson DIRECTOR: Sharon Maguire RATING: 14A Was Bridget Jones’s Baby completely necessary? Probably not. Were there droves of fans desperate to see the completion of the trilogy? Maybe. I honestly couldn’t say. Was this movie delightfully charming and laughout-loud funny? Yes. Yes it was. We find Bridget (Renee Zellweger) on her 43rd birthday. She’s single, has a great job, and better friends. She’s happy, but still looking for that certain something or someone to complete that picture in her mind. For her birthday her best friend, Miranda (Sarah Solemani), takes her to a music festival. In a whirlwind of music, dancing and alcohol Bridget finds herself in the tent of Jack (Patrick Dempsey). The two share a night together, and the next morning Bridget makes her exit never expecting to see Jack again. Not long after Bridget runs into her ex, Mark (Colin Firth), at the christening of her God
My Take
MARK HASKINS
daughter. Mark is in the middle of a divorce, and very much missing Bridget. After a lot of dancing, and quite of bit of alcohol Mark and Bridget end the night with each other. Once again Bridget makes a discrete exit before things become complicated. Soon after Bridget’s two encounters things become complicated. Bridget is pregnant and has no idea if Jack or Mark is the father. If you think that’s awkward you have to see the scene where she tells the two of them together that either might be a dad. Priceless. Now Bridget is with child and has two men competing for her affection. She has to choose between the successful lawyer and old flame, or the internet billionaire and exciting new romance. What is a girl to do? Bridget Jones’s Baby may not be the most anticipated conclusion to a trilogy to hit the big screen, but it is a lot of fun. The
film takes the most awkward moment conceivable, and stretches it out for two hours. It’s painful, and hilarious. The film seeks to work on a number of comedic levels from not-so-subtle innuendo to outrageous physical gags. There’s one scene where both men are forced to carry Bridget through the streets of London to the hospital that has to be seen. With the humour comes the heartwarming, and a balance is neatly struck. It’s a charming film about love and life that also happens to be extremely funny. If you were just looking at the bill and saw Renee Zellweger, Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth in the same movie you wouldn’t need to know much more, and you’d be right. Zellweger picks up where she left off making us laugh, captivating with her charm, and touching our hearts. Her talent has been missed. Dempsey and Firth make it hard to know who to cheer for, but what I really like is their chemistry as rivals. They play off each other beautifully, and make for some seriously funny moments. Bridget Jones’s Baby is a true delight. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

The Westport Arts Council’s ninth annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church, 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, features award-winning Canadian authors Peter Behrens, Iain Reid, Andrew Westoll, and Zoe Whittall. Ireland and the Irish play a big part in Peter Behrens’ novels. Born in Montreal, he is descended from mid-19th century immigrants who, like so many others, sought a new life in Canada – not unlike those who settled Westport and elsewhere in Eastern Ontario. His first two novels, The Law of Dreams (winner of the 2006 Governor General’s Literary Award, and published in nine languages), and The O’Briens (2011), draw in part on his own family’s struggle to adapt and flourish in a new world. Peter’s latest novel, Carry Me, published earlier this year, bridges the decades between the two World Wars amid the growing anti-Semitism that blights multi-generational relationships between two families, one Irish, one German. His short stories, published in two volumes, Travelling Light and Night Driving, and his essays, have appeared in anthologies and the Atlantic Monthly, Tin House, Brick, and elsewhere. Peter is currently a Fellow at Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced

Kanetix, one of Canada’s oldest and leading online insurance shopping centres recently passed along some great and timely safe driving reminders as we all get back in the swing of fall commuting. With the return of the school year, driving safely takes on a whole new level of importance as our urban streets become a lot more crowded with bus, cycling and pedestrian traffic. Rushed and unsafe driving may bring some unexpected financial burdens along with the more crucial aspect of putting the health and lives of fellow travelers at risk. Kanetix VP Janine White sends along these tips to help keep bodies, property, and wallets safe. Parking in a no parking zone: A bad habit many of us are guilty of, we may do this to simply grab a coffee, or drop the kids off at school. But it’s more of a big deal than you think. Parking tickets increased earlier this year, and blocking a lane of traffic or leaving your car where you shouldn’t could get you a $150

ticket, or worse, get your car towed. Driving through crosswalks. As of this year, drivers trying to roll through crosswalks when pedestrians are attempting to cross or as soon as they are halfway through could face a maximum fine of $500 and three demerit points. That fine doubles in a community safety zone. This bad habit could increase your insurance policy by 15 per cent. Dooring a cyclist: It’s important you always look before you exit your vehicle. Even if it’s not on purpose, dooring a cyclist can get you a maximum fine of $1,000 as well as three demerit points. You may also end up with an at-fault accident if your vehicle is damaged and the cyclist is hurt. The accident and the
ticket could lead to a 50 per cent increase on your insurance policy. Texting at a red light or changing a song on your phone: Simply touching your phone or any electronic device that is separate from your car’s dashboard can get you a distracted driving ticket costing anywhere from $490 to $1,000 plus three demerit points upon conviction. The impact on your insurance policy would be 15 per cent. Backing out of a driveway: If an incident happens while you’re in reverse, it’s always your fault. Without accident forgiveness, something as small as backing into a garbage can or running over a bike in the driveway can affect your insurance. And if you’ve caused a collision with on-coming traffic, you can expect the financial impact to be quite severe. These incidents could increase your policy by 50 per cent.

Brought to you by
Fishing industry in Nova Scotia is a thriving scene It was turkey dinner with all the fixings for lunch at the Tuna Museum café in Wedgeport on Aug. 11. In a Nova Scotia fishing village, where lobster rolls are as common as hot dogs are here, it is nice to change things up once in a while. The café operates daily and is attached to the ‘Wedgeport Sport Tuna Fishing Museum’ which is a highlight in the village. The weekday lunches attract a good crowd of locals and visitors. The home-style meals are prepared by volunteers and the proceeds help keep the small tuna museum operating. Wedgeport, just outside Yarmouth in southwestern Nova Scotia, is the hometown of our Carleton Place friend Frank LeBlanc. Kathleen and I were fortunate enough to visit the community in the company of Frank and his wife Wendy in August. Our first stop in the village was the LeBlanc family home. Frank’s brother Carl, who lives in west Ottawa, bought the residence a few years ago and is busily restoring it, while retaining many of the historical features. Carl was just
finishing a month-long stay in his second home (he’s a frequent visitor) and he gave us a tour. He’s done a good job of renovating the two-storey property and has plans to upgrade it further. Carl is keeping it in the family which is much appreciated I am sure. The men’s parents and three brothers have passed on. Four LeBlanc brothers and their sister remain. It was Carl who invited us to lunch at the café. When we arrived we quickly realized he had already taken care of things which was very nice of him. The LeBlancs are proud Acadians who are as comfortable with the English language as they are their native Acadian French. Kathy and I enjoyed listening to the conversation in the restaurant. Wedgeport folks speak in an interesting mix of French and English and all of them switch back and forth effortlessly. Frank is a linguist who also speaks German fluently. He learned the language while stationed in Germany with the Canadian Army. He also understands and can converse in other languages, something which always amazes me.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Wedgeport has long been billed “The Tuna Capital of the World.” Over the years the lure of the giant fish has drawn anglers from across the continent and around the world. From 1935 to the mid-1960s the village was one of the top destinations on the planet for sport tuna fishermen. Bluefin tuna are attracted close to the shore at Wedgeport due to an abundance of small fish which they feast on. In turn their presence makes the Tusket River and what is known locally as “the Tuna Rip” excellent fishing grounds. In 1949 there were 72 tuna caught during the ‘International Tuna Cup’ contest at Wedgeport. The combined catch weighed in at an astounding 30,161 pounds!
FDR was here After lunch we toured the very interesting museum. Among the historic photographs on the walls are shots of a smiling FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) fishing for tuna at Wedgeport in the late 1930s. The American president spent many summers at Campobello Island, a Canadian possession located in the Bay of Fundy off the New Brunswick coast. His mother’s family had a large estate on Campobello for decades. FDR later acquired an even bigger property (a 34-room “cottage”) on the island. It was at Campobello, in 1921, that Roosevelt fell ill with polio which robbed him of the full use of his legs for the remainder of his life. When the president angled for tuna he was transported to Nova Scotia on the presidential yacht accompanied by a U.S. Navy destroyer. Quite the fishing expedition! His visit may have been the biggest celebrity sighting in Wedgeport but it wasn’t the only one. Famed writer Ernest Hemingway, a life-long fishing enthusiast, also trolled the waters off the Nova Scotia village for Bluefin.
Many other well-known people from the worlds of politics and entertainment are represented in the museum’s considerable photo gallery. The facility also contains a mock tuna fishing boat, complete with an original tuna “fighting chair.” You have to be strong to land one of those massive creatures! In addition there are fishing rods, trophies and display cases filled with mementos from the glory days of the sport. We were impressed by the massive stuffed lobster on display which, when originally caught, weighed an incredible 32 pounds. The lobster pays homage to the most prominent part of Wedgeport’s inshore fishing industry. There are rich lobster grounds all around the village and we saw the vessels, traps and “lobster cars.” The so-called lobster cars are storage huts which are floated to the primary locations during lobster season and used to temporarily store the highly prized crustaceans. After a downturn in sport tuna fishing, mainly due to the absence of large See MAGUIRE page 25

From page 24
numbers of the fish, we learned the tuna stock in the region has improved and there is now a larger focus on the fish by both commercial and sport fisher people. I say “fisher people” because commercial fishing is not confined to males as it once was. There are many women working in the industry today. The museum was great. But the most interesting part of our Wedgeport visit was yet to come. Frank began his working life in the family business, fishing. He decided he wanted something different. Frank moved on to a long and distinguished career in the Canadian Armed Forces. His brother Larry, however, is still one of the main players in Wedgeport’s thriving fish processing industry. Larry manages Schooner Seafoods Limited, a large facility in Lower Wedgeport. We were fortunate enough to meet Larry who took us on a comprehensive tour of the processing plant. I would need a separate column to fully trace that very interesting experience, something I have now added to my list of future articles. Larry’s outline left us feeling good about the future of Canada’s Maritime fishing industry. Fish that was once caught here and then shipped to China for packaging – much to the chagrin of us and many others who enjoy fish and seafood – is now being processed and marketed in Canada by companies including Schooner. Asian market At the same time Larry and others have created a major business out of
selling what most Canadians would consider “junk fish” to the Orient. In the Far East products such as roe (fish and crustacean eggs) are much sought after delicacies. Larry has even invented an ingenious way of separating this kind of product from the main catch, right on the processing line. We were highly impressed by the tour. Larry’s delicious sense of humour made our day. The man never stops working but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life! Admittedly I have painted a rather rosy picture of the fishing industry which, at this stage, is doing quite well despite the restrictions of the quota system and the ban on cod fishing. Commercial fishing is difficult and extremely dangerous work, something I will also comment on here. For years cod were an endangered species. The Canadian government wisely acted to protect our valuable fishing industry. The decisions reached, which were not always popular, were aimed at replenishing the once vast stocks which were being swept from the Atlantic by fleets from other nations. The ban and careful enforcement appears to be working well at this juncture. One afternoon we visited Dennis Point Wharf at Pubnico which, besides being a major lobster centre, is also home to Canada’s largest ground fishing fleet. Dozens of vessels were moored there and we saw others leaving port on their way to rich fishing grounds such as Georges Bank. We were fortunate enough to talk to a young fisherman whose vessel had just returned to Pubnico after a successful five-day trip. He was expertly filleting some haddock which he had set aside to take to his mother.
Association stresses to share the road safely
Frank told us that the haul (thousands of pounds of mainly haddock) the man and his two fellow crew members had secured would “make their year.” Fishing is too lucrative a trade to turn down for many Nova Scotians! Still, the one element that is ever present is danger. Commercial fishing can be a deadly undertaking. That fact is underlined by the memorials to lost ships and crew which are prominent in so many Nova Scotia centres, including Yarmouth. Storms at sea and accidents have taken a heavy toll over the years. The number of Nova Scotia based crew members and vessels lost at sea are sobering. The year 1879 was especially deadly for Yarmouth County. Not all of those involved were fishermen as many cargo vessels were also based there at that time. A total of 31 vessels and 106 crew members and passengers from Yarmouth were lost at sea in 1879. As recently as 2000, Frank’s uncle George Wallace from Wedgeport died when the trawler he captained capsized. He went down with the ship while four others survived the accident. George is remembered on the Yarmouth memorial. Travel is always educational but I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Canada’s historic and still vitally important fishing industry. Talking to the experts is always best. I was fortunate enough to obtain my information in the best places and from the most knowledgeable people the business has to offer.

area: Exceeding the speed limit even by 16 km/hour will get you three demerit points and fines that increase for each kilometre range that’s over the limit. If it’s found that something was distracting you – for example, you were playing with your phone or putting on makeup, you could also get a distracted driving ticket in addition to your speeding ticket. A speeding ticket can have 15 per cent effect on your insurance. Distracted by children: Whether you’re focused on soothing the baby behind you or trying to get your kids to stop fighting in the back seat, if you aren’t paying attention to the road and an officer spots you, expect to get a ticket for distracted driving. Auto industry news has been filled recently with announcements from just about every carmaker on the planet moving forward with autonomous or self-driving vehicle projects.

or assist systems are completely reliant on good, clean, well-marked painted lane lines on our roads for proper operation. Most self-driving prototype vehicles will simply refuse to move if their various sensors and cameras can’t ‘see’ or sense clear distinct lane-makers on the road ahead. But vehicles with lane-keeping features can still merrily roll along and drivers may be lulled into a false sense of security thinking their auto will let them know if their vehicle is drifting out of their lane. And while we should properly blame poor road maintenance practices for this problem, our Canadian winters can be equally at fault for covering lane-marks with ice and snow.

Walk Your Paws for LAWS fundraiser this Saturday in Carleton Place We hope you’ve remembered to get your pledge forms and to find many supporters for the Walk your Paws for LAWS coming up this Saturday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We’re optimistic that you’ll be there in large numbers to show us you care about the animals as much as we do. It’s going to be so much fun meeting so many people while walking your dogs. Lots of other exciting things are organized like face painting, a barbecue, raffles, fun music and there will be a microchip clinic available. At 10 a.m., a big announcement will be made. The walk will be held at the Carleton Place arena on 75 Neelin Street. Pledge forms are available at the shelter or online at www.lanarkanimals.ca This week’s featured pets Velcro Velcro was surrendered to the shelter for no fault of his own. Initially very shy, Velcro has come a long way. Once in LAWS care meeting new people every day he quickly learned people are OK to be with. Velcro has been at LAWS since April and is starting to show signs of sadness. Most of his buddies he played with in the cat runs found homes and he’s still waiting to be chosen. Velcro does enjoy the company of other cats and would be a welcome addition to any household where he can explore on his own.
This Week’s Pets get along well too with the store cat and the store dog. So please come a pick me up and take me home please, I am looking forward to meet my new family. Ashes Ashes was pregnant upon arrival sometime in May. She delivered her kittens who all found homes. Ashes is extremely petite but huge in sharing her affection. She’s the love bug of a tabby cat you’ve been waiting for. She is growing her winter coat in anticipation to be ready for the snow to come. She was recently spayed, loves other cats and is ready to go home with you. Ashes would be a good addition for any home.
Ella Hi there, Ella here. I need a home where I am the only cat love of your life and I don’t really like dogs either. I love to be handled and am extremely affectionate.

may accidentally knock you over. We think due to this being around smaller children may not be best. We don’t think he minds being around children though. They could even be part of brushing his fur, as Huskies shed a lot and need a lot of care to keep their fur shiny and
well groomed. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals, visit us online at www.lanarkanimals.ca or if you

Jarvis and Patrick
In March of 2014 Jarvis and Patrick started their journey to friendship in the traditional Big Brother Program. Patrick had been waiting for a big brother for over two years before Jarvis came along. Patrick was fascinated with police officers and wanted to be matched with one. Jarvis is aspiring to become a police officer and was present for a presentation by Big Brothers Big Sisters in one of his police foundations classes at Algonquin College. A caseworker at Big Brothers Big Sisters knew this would be a perfect match. Over two years later, Jarvis and Patrick have developed a solid friendship through attending car races, going to the movies or just hanging out and playing video games. Both of them say that they wouldn’t change anything about their match. Patrick certainly learns a lot from his time spent with Jarvis but Jarvis also learns from Patrick. That’s what mentoring is about, spending time together, learning from each other and having a great time!

Benefit dance for Ryan Boothby Sept. 24 in Cobden as he battles cancer A Cobden area family is rallying around one of their loved ones and asking the community to get in on the efforts. Twenty-three-year-old Ryan Boothby was just getting back to his seasonal job as a heavy equipment operator at Bonnechere Excavating Inc. this past May when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma. Throughout the winter, he had experienced a rash, night sweats and weight loss that prompted him to get checked at the doctor. His aunt Tracy Martin said the family is no stranger to cancer. Her mom is a breast cancer survivor, her father passed away in February 2015 from lung cancer and she herself survived Hodgkins Disease 30 years ago. Ryan’s dad also had colon cancer seven years ago.

A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall for Ryan Boothby, 23, who has been diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma. Boothby has family in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth area. Boothby, a graduate of Ope- will undergo sessions every two ongo High School and former weeks for the next six months, Renfrew Walmart employee, explained Martin. began treatment on July 6 and Because his employment is
seasonal with no health benefits and he is unable to work while undergoing treatment and traveling to his many medical appointments, Boothby could use a financial boost, she said. A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall and already there’s been plenty of support for the event, said Martin. People are happy to help out such a good guy, she said. “He’s a pretty outgoing kid with a beautiful smile,” said his aunt. “He’s a hard worker and he loves his job. He’s looking forward to getting back to it.” When Martin faced her battle with cancer, she was overwhelmed by the love
and support. She’s hoping to envelop her nephew with the same strong support she received, in part with the dance that’s being planned. “We felt it was the right thing to do,” she said. “When I was 14 lots of my family and friends came together and had a dance and ball tournament. That’s what family is for.” She regularly calls and sends text messages to Boothby to let him know he’s not alone in his fight. The dance will run from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Cobden Agricultural Hall at 42 Astrolabe Rd. at the Cobden Fairgrounds. Boothby also has

Listening Room Series kicks off season Sept. 25 at Perth Tea Room Well, I trust you’ve enjoyed your summer, hopefully being musically entertained at a few festivals or concerts, managing to stay cool somewhere. It was so hot I actually entered a lake on several occasions, a feat not dared in many years. One of my most memorable musical moments was at the Stewart Park Festival – their special program for the 200th anniversary of Perth. After 25 years of working backstage I actually sat in front of the stage for the first time, listening to the Men & Women of the Tay Choirs singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow when, above the stage magically appeared a double rainbow. Now, I don’t know choir director Shelley McLaren’s contacts, but that “technical” effect sure made an impressive impact. What an effective light show. I’m excited to share the news that the Listening Room Series I co-ordinated last winter has found a new home – The Perth Tea Room (formally known as the Perth Restaurant) – 23 Gore St E. We will be presenting singer/songwriters from all over, monthly, offering quality ‘organic’ music in a listening environment – no screens, no chatter – just great original songs with great stories. We’re so pleased to be able to present on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m., Lanark County’s own, who recently
moved to Toronto, Kelly Prescott, (Claytones, Prescott – Brown, Family Brown lineage) and give you a chance to hear her new music from her upcoming solo CD, Hillbilly Jewels, as well as some from her touring songbook. Kelly is an incredible singer/songwriter whose pedigree, being Family Brown’s – Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott’s daughter; her soulful delivery bodes well, keeping their family’s musical tradition alive and well. Touring with her is Newfoundlander, Chris Ryan who opened for Toby Keith and has garnered the following positive comments: “This record reminds me that country music is always changing and merging with other forms. Chris takes us on a ride through an everchanging landscape. Very musical very appealing,” said Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. “Diggin’ Chris’ new CD. Drunken, Lost, and Lonely is one of my favourite new songs of the year,” said Alan Doyle, Great Big Sea. We are so happy to be back at the Perth Restaurant (now back to it’s historically original name – The Perth Tea Room). We look forward to getting to know the new owners, Melissa and Ryan Baird, who’ve been working hard to establish their own touch on this Perth institution. As many know, Sue and I have host-
ed many wonderful concerts here in the past so we look forward to reestablishing an ongoing line up of talented singer/songwriters we know you’ll enjoy. Call and reserve your dinner reservations at 613-267-3170. Show will be in a concert seating style. Should be a wonderful show. Tickets will be available at the door for $20 or by calling 613-267-7902 to reserve. A portion of the proceeds from each show are going to a community charity, this time being Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Come on out, hear some satisfying music and support a good cause. Upcoming event Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m.: Campbell Woods plays the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. He will be playing his own songs from new album, Oxford Street, that I’ve so many good things about. Tickets available at Special Greetings or call 613-283-0300 for credit card sales.

The end of an era: local man publishes book about the Anthropocene Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
What is the Anthropocene you ask? “Geologists divide the history of our world into increments, based on what they know about conditions on earth,” explained Ian Angus, local author. “Currently, we’re in the Holocene epoch.” The Holocene is the name given to the last 12,000 years of the earth’s history — the time since the end of the Pleistocene epoch, when the ice ages ended. “During the Holocene, humans invented agriculture, as it was first time there was a decent climate, and with agriculture came big communities and the starting point for civilization,”
said Angus. However, human beings have changed the way the earth’s systems function so much that scientists are now saying we have entered the Anthropocene era of time. Scientists believe the Holocene ended in the mid-20th century, and are now working to identify a geological marker (possibly nuclear fallout, or presence of plastic). Anthropocene is defined as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. “Instead of just polluting the Rideau River, we are fundamentally changing earth’s life support systems,” he explained. “We are changing the whole climate of the world.

amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is like the thermostat; throughout the whole Holocene era, CO2 never rose above 280 parts per million (ppm). Now, the CO2 levels are over 400 parts per million. That is a key indication that the Holocene is now over.” Anthropocene – derived from the Greek work anthropos, meaning human being – puts the onus on mankind for the drastic change prompting the new era. “It’s not official yet,” said Angus. A working group of scientists are currently trying to identify a geological marker. “The marker will determine the formal explanation of Anthropocene; but informally, it is the time when human beings are so disruptive of earth’s systems that in the course of this century, the quality of life as we know it will change drastically.” He explained throughout the whole of the Holocene epoch, the average earth’s temperature never varied up or down more than one degree Celsius, which was already exceeded in 2015. With world leaders setting their emission goals at a 2-degree increase cap, Angus warns the difference of one degree is significant.
“It only takes a small average change to make a huge impact.” However, he remains optimistic about the future despite downright terrifying projections, which will unfold over the next century. “We can act, but it will take a whole lot more than choosing to ride a bike to work and not use plastic bags,” said Angus. “We are also going to have to face the fact we are not going to be able to change the world without addressing inequality.” He explained the global economy is structured around the very things that are destroying the earth: fossil fuels. “We are heading towards parts of the world being too hot to be liveable and for island states being drowned by rising oceans,” said Angus. “But we can’t give up. If it gets to two degrees, then we have to fight to stop it from getting to three degrees.” The solution to climate change is many years of hard work, said Angus. “Our economy is structured around fossil fuels. We have to restructure the entire economy and get away from an economy based on endless growth.” See BOOK page K6

Olympians and Olympic hopefuls will also be on hand to knight children affected by cancer. If you know a local childhood cancer survivor, or a child battling cancer now, contact organizers so they can be included in the knighting ceremony. Last year, Neon Night attracted over 650 participants and brought in over $50,000 for childhood cancer research. The goal is to raise $54,000 this year. “Each year, it’s been over $50,000,” said Burich. This year, event organizers pushed to get more local businesses involved in Neon Night. “Scotiabank has a team for Neon Night and they also have a draw going on at their location,” said Burich. “We wanted to create more hype this year by getting local businesses involved.” Organizers are asking people to pre-register for the event as soon as possible. “Right now we’re stressing we need teams to register,” said Burich. For more information about Neon Night, or to register, visit www.cancer.ca/neonnightkemptville. Pre-registration is $40, whereas same day
registration is $50. One team has already raised nearly $3,000 for the cause. People along the Neon Night route are encouraged to cheer participants as they pass by. “We love to see residents out on their lawns cheering runners on as they go by,” said Burich. The Neon Night planning committee is also looking for volunteers to help on event day. Volunteers are essential to the success of the event and people are needed to assist on the route, with registration, entertainment and activities. Those interested should email acarley@ontario. cancer.ca or call (613)-384-2361. About the Canadian Cancer Society The Canadian Cancer Society invests heavily in Canada’s best childhood cancer research, raises awareness and provides families with vital support programs so they don’t have to face cancer alone. The CCS is the largest national charitable funder of childhood cancer research in Canada, and has invested $47 million in childhood cancer research over the last 15 years. While progress has been made, that there is still more work to be done. Childhood cancer is still the number one cause of disease-related death in Canadian children.

United Way Leeds and Grenville kickoff 2016 fundraising campaign Joseph Morin
Joe.morin@metroland.com
The United Way of Leeds and Grenville launched its 2016 fundraising campaign on Friday, Sept. 16 in Kemptville. This was just one of three United Way launches held. There was one in Brockville and another in Gananoque. Gerald Tallman of Tallman Truck Centre at Colonnade in Kemptville handed over his parking lot for the event, which included a barbecue and words from local United Way supporters. This year’s goal is $960,000. In the Kemptville area the United Way gives generous and significant donations to several community groups. The Kemptville Youth Centre, Kemptville Home Support Inc., North Grenville Accessible Transportation and Big Brother and Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville, as well as CPHC, Family and Children’s Services, Addictions and Mental Health, Interval house, and Connect Youth receive support and funds from the United Way. Each group performs a vital and meaningful role in making North Grenville a better place to live.

The United Way of Leeds and Grenville kicked off their 2016 fundraising campaign on Friday, Sept. 16. The event was held at the Tallman Truck Centre at Colonnade. This year’s target is $960,000. Gerald Tallman has been a strong supporter of United Way. “I think they are doing a super job for us,” he said as he watched people arrive at his truck centre to grab some lunch and at the same time help out their favourite cause. Melissa Hillier the executive director of the Leeds and Grenville United Way said the focus of the United Way was all about change. One issue the agency is looking at is how the various programs funded by the United Way are doing and their way to make them more effective. To that end they have asked their community partners to try and track how their
individual programs are doing. “There are always efficiencies that can be found,” said Hillier. While Friday was the kickoff for the fundraising campaign, Hillier was happy to report that they had already raised 28 per cent of their goal. Hillier said the United Way was all about community and the work their partners did in North Grenville was so important to the community. Susan Smith the executive director of Kemptville Home Support was at the kick-off. “We really appreciate what the United Way does,” she said. She explained that the Kemptville and Dis-
trict Home Support were having success with all of its programs and its role of being a popular place for seniors was expanding. “There are a lot more seniors dropping by,” said Smith. The United Way has been a supporter of the Kemptville Youth Centre from its beginning. Robin Heald the centre’s executive director was at the kick–off to explain why it was so important for the United Way to succeed in its fundraising activities. She told the story of a youth who was in crisis in the community recently. The youth was spotted by the centre’s program coordinator. “She was able to convince him to come back to KYC so we could help him with his very big problem. He came back with her and we did. We gave him the tools he needed to solve his personal crisis,” she said. “Without United Way, we may not have been able to help. United Way supports 1/5 of our budget at KYC. Without them we would be doing 1/5 of the work we do in the community and averting 1/5 fewer crises in our community. We can only go out on field trips like
Pokemon Go and Geocaching when we have enough people power to keep our centre hours supported as that’s our primary goal. Without United Way, this one youth would not have gotten the support he did. It could have turned into a very big crisis involving the police and some pretty scared parents. This is the difference I know that KYC and United Way is making in North Grenville every day.” Heald explained she spends half her time looking for funds in the way of grants and doing fundraising for the youth centre. “Without United Way, even more of my time would be spent fundraising. United Way does it better than we do as well,” said Heald. “I know United Way is doing their job every day so we can do ours.” Don Gilchrist the chair of the board for North Grenville Accessible Transportation was at the kickoff. “We do around 1,500 trips each month,” he said. The organization services eight group homes in the area and receives funding through the municipality and the United Way. Gilchrist said the United Way support is greatly appreciated.

Past and present come together in new barn Joseph Morin
Joe.morin@metroland.com
The old often can become the new. Mixing the past with the present and honouring the people who came before us all feature in a Montague Township couple’s decision to resurrect a hundred year old carriage house into their new multi-purpose barn. Michael and Vanessa White moved to Montague Township in 2013. They bought 170 acres of land. They built a home just west of Smiths Falls and settled in to raise their family. They called their home Welsh Hill Farm. The farm produced a small amount of grass fed beef in its first year and worked on improving its pastures for the years to come. The couple decided they would try and make a go of farming and set out to create a website in 2015 designed to help sell their products. They wanted to enjoy a country lifestyle that included enough farming to sustain themselves as well as have a connection to urban life by

Michael White hammers a wooden peg home, connecting joints together. working in Lanark County. Their farming business is in its early stages. Part of their plans included building a structure that could serve as an equipment shed as well as a place to store and perhaps sell their farm produce. The idea of salvaging an older structure and repurposing and recycling its building materials appealed to the couple. When Vanessa’s father, Jeff McDougall, called one day and said he knew of a 100
year-old barn that was just about falling down and could be used to build a new barn, they jumped at the opportunity. The building, a carriage house built around 1916, located in Vernon on Nine Line Road, had fallen into disrepair. It had been attached to a brick farmhouse. McDougall has been recycling old farm buildings for several years. “I have done five so far,” he said. He said many farmers use material from older farm buildings to build new ones. It is all part of the lifestyle of farmers. “I think in the past building a barn was a community and family affair,” said McDougall. “Builders would cut down trees during the winter months and dress them, most often with use of a broad axe, getting the wood ready for building in the spring. Then a farmer and his family would get together to put it all together. Often the community would help.” He said he has found several barns in the area that are at least 100 years old that have the same construction techniques. “The parts are interchangeable,” he said. His own
barn on his farm in Russell dates back to 1881. McDougall believes there was a sawmill operating at the time when the barn was built. The sawmill was in Kenmore and may have been able to make some of the preparation easier for the builders. A salvaging crew was quickly assembled and in a single day the barn was disassembled and carted over to its new home in Montague. Both Michael and Vanessa appreciate the effort and energy expended by the early settlers who built rural Canada. Vanessa had worked at the Kemptville College and Michael had graduated from the college several years ago. They love the rural lifestyle. He lived on Oxford Mills while Vanessa lived in Russell. “When the barn is complete we will have something that perhaps would have been lost forever,” said Vanessa. “The people who settled and farmed in early rural Ontario are long gone but they should never be forgotten. Reusing the wood and construction methods they used helps us remember them.”
The barn or multi-purpose building is being constructed in the same way it would have been put together 100 years ago. “All the original builders would have had were chisels, hammers, and hand drills,” said Michael. “The H frames that make up the sides and back of the barn would have been lifted into place and then joined with pegs.” There are no nails. The original builders would not have had the luxury of power tools so the holes holding the joints together would have been hand-drilled and the wooden pegs would have carved by hand to fit the holes. Michael, Jeff, Vanessa and her brothers are following the same tried and true methods including making the construction a family affair. The roof of the reborn building will be tin. It would have originally been cedar shingles, which these days are too costly to be used. The original boards that cover the building will be used to cover the inside, as they are too thin to cover the outside as they did a century ago. New planks will
be used to cover the outside of the building. The doors and windows had rotted away on the original building so recycled doors and windows were purchased from Balley Canoe in Mallorytown. “They built things to last in the past,” said Michael. He feels the methods used to build the original carriage house were simple and effective. “This will be around for a while,” he said. Re-building the barn has been a learning experience for everyone involved. “I am learning a lot,” said Michael. I was not really sure how it would all come together.” About the only concession to modern times has been a building permit and building a cement foundation. The original building rested on wooden posts and many of the foundation support beams had started to rot away. “It is unbelievable what people went through in the past to build a life,” said Vanessa. She feels that by using as much of the carriage house as possible they are remembering the efforts of those who came before them.

Meet the Alyousef family: newest arrivals in Kemptville After many months of work and preparations of all kinds by a very devoted group of local people in order to welcome a Syrian refugee family in our community, they have finally arrived. The Alyousef family arrived at the Ottawa airport late Friday night (Sept. 9) after a very long journey from a refugee camp in Turkey; to say that they were exhausted is an understatement, but they were happy to see the welcome group and to know that they would soon be ‘home!’ Bad luck would have it that their luggage did not arrive with them, but did come the next day. Each of the three children was met with a teddy bear of their own and it was a most touching moment when they smiled through their fatigue and confusion, reached out to take the little bear and hugged it close, as any child would do. They all fell asleep during the drive back to Kemptville and when we finally arrived and handed the apartment key to Mr. Alyousef, his face light up, and the joy and pride that he obviously felt was just so moving and precious!

The Alyousef family playing at Riverside Park in Kemptville. Many people had worked very hard to get the apartment ready, from the cleaning team, the movers and the ones who came afterwards to make the beds, fill the fridge and pantry with food and all necessary household items, and put welcoming touches such as a bowl of fruit and a bouquet of flowers to make it look and feel homey. It was absolutely
lovely! The first order of things was getting the children to bed, then explaining a few things to the parents … and then they could finally rest in their own beds. The Alyousef family have spent the last three years in a refugee camp and so their children know nothing else. Their three charming and very young children, two girls
and a boy, are all under the age of four. The family is absolutely delightful and they feel rather overwhelmed, as can be expected, but they are so very grateful for everything and so eager to learn. The various R.I.N.G. teams went right into action, taking them for a tour of the grocery store and the farmer’s market
on the first day, then helping them with all the official business, start teaching them English, getting them to the library for the various resources there and a multitude of other things. They have been anxious to use the Internet to let their families know that they had arrived safely and could hardly believe that they could have free Internet at the library!
There is so much for them to learn about life in Canada but it was a wonderful moment when we took them to the Riverside Park for the children to play a while, and it was a real joy to watch the parents as well as the children. The walk was filled with wonder as we stopped to smell flowers along the way, pick up pine cones and coloured leaves, and then let them run free as they suddenly saw the playground. We can hardly imagine all that they have been through, but we certainly know that playing in a beautiful green space, with peace and freedom, is something too many of us take for granted. It is something so simple that every parent wishes for their children. The mother was saying how she had not had any hot water for three years – only cold showers! They are both so incredibly thankful and appreciate everything so much. We are so blessed in Canada and it is good to be reminded now and then. There is no doubt that this lovely family is a welcome addition to our community. Submitted by Refugees In North Grenville (R.I.N.G.)

Book outlines the Anthropocene in simple terms CONTINUED
From front page
Investing in buggy whips following the invention of the motorized vehicle may not make the most sense financially, but it doesn’t hurt the planet, he explained eloquently. “Investing in pipelines today is catastrophically foolish.” “What we’ve learned in the last 20 years is that politicians are not going to do anything until there is pressure,” said Angus. “People need to start organizing.” Angus recently published his latest book, titled Facing the Anthropocene: Fossil Capitalism and the Crisis of the Earth System,
and is holding a book launch in Ottawa on Sept. 27. The event will be held at Octopus Books, located at 251 Bank St., beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is pay what you can and copies of Facing the Anthropocene will be available for purchase. You can also purchase a copy of the book through any online retailer, such as Amazon. The book was written for people unfamiliar with technical geological jargon and lays out the Anthropocene in clear, concise language. “Facing the Anthropocene tackles the large theme of how this emerging epoch links with human societies – and how it will affect them. It’s a clearly written and well-paced account that combines a clear summary of
the scientific evidence for unfolding global change with thought-provoking analysis of the socio-economic factors driving it,” wrote Jan Zalasiewicz, Chair of the Anthropocene Working Group and Professor of Palaeobiology at the University of Leicester, as a review on the back cover of the book. Angus is the editor of the online eco-socialist journal Climate and Capitalism, and co-author of the Belem Ecosocialist Declaration. His previous books include Too Many People? and The Global Fight for Climate Justice. “I have two grandkids and I can’t imagine the world they are going to have to live in,” said Angus, “if our generation doesn’t get its act together.”

Oxford Mills winery hosts exciting event for PTSD service dogs
Your support helps save lives

An Oxford Mills business owner has thrown his support behind a special cause: helping emergency services workers and armed forces personnel suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Louis Gaal, who is the co-owner of Blue Gypsy Wines on Lindsay Road near Oxford Mills with spouse Claire Faguy, hosted a fundraising evening Saturday, Sept. 10 to mark the opening of his new 890 square foot outdoor patio. The evening featured a silent auction of donated items, and musical entertainment by Fiddlehead Soup, with the band also donating their services. Just over $800 was raised from a combination of food and pop sales, a raffle, general admission and cash donations. “The true nature of tonight is focussed around raising awareness of PTSD,” Gaal told Metroland Media. The event, he said, “was a rousing success, and I thank everyone who was a part of the evening despite the storm.” Gaal decided PTSD was a cause he wanted to support following some recent events in the area. A few years ago a friend, Howard Richmond was arrested and convicted of the murder of Melissa Richmond. He claimed to have been suffering from PTSD. Gaal and Faguy also have friends who are former soldiers, also struggling with PTSD. Last year they sent a $1,000 check to National Service Dogs, to be used to help provide service animals for PTSD sufferers. According to information from National Service Dogs, a dog can help a veteran with PTSD in a number of ways. Having responsibility for a companion helps build ties to the future, as well as a reason to get out and exercise on a regular basis. Veterans may by “hyper vigilant” and require more personal space than the average individual. The dogs are trained to create a physical barrier that keeps the public at a comfortable distance. As well the dog can help bring someone who is suffering from nightmares or flashbacks back to reality. “Service animals make a big difference to these guys,” said Gaal. “One guy would sleep with a loaded 9 mm under his pillow. The dog could sense when my friend was slipping back to those times.” This year Gaal said he has heard

Louis Gaal, co-proprietor of Blue Gypsy Wines near Oxford Mills, relaxed on his new outdoor deck prior to a fundraising evening in support of service dogs for PTSD Saturday evening, Sept. 10. A live band and silent auction were featured during the evening. about a veteran in the Morrisburg area who paid for his own service dog without receiving any financial assistance. He would like to find that individual and provide him with a cheque. Blue Gypsy Wines opened in October of 2011 and now produces seven varieties of cranberry, blueberry, ginger and flavoured
honey wines. “We actually built this winery from scratch with the help of some friends,” said Gaal. Over the past four operating seasons, he added, “I make the wine and (Claire) is the quality control, so she has the final say on everything.”

OPINION

Work for it baby
eaching kids the value of a dollar is tough business these days. When I was a kid, I got a $2 allowance for doing my chores each week. Apparently, with inflation, that number has multiplied by 10 and anything less is a sin. I tried to set my oldest son up with a solid weekly allowance of $5 – more than generous, if I do say so myself. He, however, did not complete the chores necessary to receive payment. Too bad, so sad. This past weekend, he had a play date with one of his best friends. This friend, as it turns out, has a really cool RC car. For those of you who don’t know, that’s a fancy remote controlled vehicle that goes really fast. His friend’s dad also built a track for said RC car. So he came home after his play date all hot and bothered about how unfair life is. His friends have video game consoles in their rooms, their own TV’s, cellphones, dirt bikes, snowmobiles and now RC cars. What a hard done by kid. He started going on and on about how he NEEDED an RC car. His happiness depended upon it. I explained a $200 toy was not reasonable. That even for Christmas or a birthday, a $200 gift was a bit much. He was indignant and said “$200 is not that much money mom.” Excuse me child? But how would you know how much money is too

t is beginning to feel like Summer is leaving and quietly closing the door behind her. Like a brash and brassy blonde, all heat and fire and drought, she is gathering up her skirts and heading out toward the sunset. The nights are too cold for her. She will linger a bit longer in the daytime but at night she will be invisible. Hiding in the bushes. Summer’s cousin, Autumn, is on her way. She is scheduled to arrive Thursday, Sept. 22 at 10:21 a.m. She has more energy and spirit than the lazy, slow-moving Summer. Autumn has her paint palette ready to coat the leaves on the trees before they dry up and fall to the ground. She will use a bright crimson on the Virginia creeper that clings to the side of our farmhouse. A touch of burnished gold for the oak tree; lemon yellow for the apple and burgundy wine for the maple. The turkeys are getting nice and fat. We don’t have to worry about them flying up and roosting on the fence so much anymore; most of them are too heavy to launch themselves.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION much, having never worked a day in your life? So I explained to him that $200 took a long time to earn and you could go to the drive-in six times with that much money, or go to the museum three times, or pay for a week’s worth of groceries. I tried to put it into perspective for his eightyear-old mind. For the next two days, he persisted with needing an RC car. I had enough. I told him flat out no a dozen times and yet the guilt trips continued. Not that I felt guilty. He has a roof over his head, clothes on his back and food in his belly – parental duty fulfilled. I explained to him when I was a kid and wanted something, I had to save up my $2 allowance to pay for it. He had the power to do the same, by doing his chores and earning $5 a week. It would take him a few months shy of a year to save up enough to buy the toy. He is quite determined to have that RC car, so we’ll see if this spurs my son into the world of working for his money. I won’t cave, but he might realize along the way that maybe having a $200 toy isn’t worth the effort.

Introducing, Autumn 2016 The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER
a big bird for your family celebration, let me know. This weekend the Kemptville Farmers’ Market is hosting their annual fall harvest MarketPlates event. This is a true celebration of local food where you get to meet the farmer and sample their wares. From their Facebook page: “MarketPlates pairs regional chefs with local producers to create delicious and unique dishes that are sure to satisfy the most discerning palate.” For $20 in advance or $25 at the door, you get 12 tastes. Big Sky Ranch is bringing their little beasties for a petting zoo, so the kids will be entertained as well. Live, local music will set the mood – including Carey Graham who always puts on such a great show. The rest of us regular vendors will also be on hand this weekend, and I’m bringing some extra baking to raise
money for a friend. My daughter’s boyfriend Yuki Yamanaka is heading to Italy this fall for the World Championships in Muay Thai kickboxing. He needs plane fare and a bit extra for his trip so some of my family members are pitching in to bake some goodies for a fundraiser. We’ll have squares and muffins, cookies and brownies and loaves. I’d like to thank everyone who stopped by to hear me speak at the 14th Annual Literary Follies. It was a very special event as my future son-in-law (Carey Graham) did an awesome performance on Saturday, singing Tragically Hip songs and sharing some of his extensive knowledge about the writing process and meaning behind the songs. For someone who speaks on the radio for a living you would think I would be quite comfortable addressing a crowd. But a live audience always freaks me out a little bit. Last week I spoke to the seniors at the Russell Fair and at first I thought maybe they weren’t really interested and then I realized they probably couldn’t hear me very well, as we were in a hockey arena with terrible acoustics. I had trouble seeing to read my
book as well, and thought it sure would have been nice if I had remembered to bring my glasses. When I sat down, I found the glasses on my head. How appropriate. I was having a seniors’ moment. In the end some people came over to chat with me and buy my book so I guess they were interested after all. I’m not very good at reading a crowd. When I was at the Literary Follies in Kemptville though, I looked out at the audience and recognized so many faces of people who have been following my column for the past nine years. People who encouraged me to publish my stories in book form and interested readers who are asking me to write another.
Maybe it was because I started the day at 4 a.m. by babysitting my granddaughter so her parents could go hunting. I might have been a bit overtired. In any case, I wasn’t nervous at all. I felt relaxed as I told my stories and read three chapters of my book aloud. More likely, it was the positive, encouraging energy of small-town cheerleaders, book lovers and friends that put me at ease. Get out and enjoy some of what North Grenville has to offer, before winter comes along and sends us into hibernation. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Amendments to licensing bylaw for Sports legends to be honoured Sept. 29 refreshment vehicles “less restrictive” Ready for a night of honouring members of the community who made local sports what they are today?

For the love of food. “I’m going to start with a high-level overview of the review of the bylaw,” said Paul Hutt, director of emergency and protective services, during committee of the whole on Sept. 6. “Throughout the year, we’ve had a number of requests to increase the number of licenses within our municipality, as it pertains to refreshment vehicles, carts.” He explained the department undertook a public consultation process targeting stakeholders in the refreshment industry. “We also had a meeting with the business improvement association,” said Hutt. “In addition, we’ve consulted with our planning and development department.” The department was extremely pleased with the feedback, he explained. “The previous bylaw only allowed for four licenses for refreshment vehicles in the urban area and two in the rural area, for a total of six,” said Hutt. “Based on the consultations that we did have, there was a number of recommendations. And I am pleased to share with you, I think moving forward, the requirements are going to be less restrictive for the applicants, but it’s also going to protect the permanent establishments that we have in our community. I think we’ve struck a happy balance.” There will now be three separate categories; refreshment vehicle, refreshment cart and mobile canteen. “There was a lot of insight from the industry; there was reasoning, rationale, to separate those further.” Previously, there was a C3 zoning requirement to operate a refreshment vehicle. “We heard loud and clear that having to go through zoning amendments was quite cumbersome,” said Hutt. “So we basically came up with a setback requirement of 100 meters from other refreshment vehicles and/or permanent establishments, so we lessened the requirement from a zoning perspective, but kept in mind the interests of the permanent establishments in our community.” The registration fee for refreshment vehicles has jumped from $150 to $350. “North Grenville had the lowest registration fee (compared to municipalities of similar size).” Creating categories for refreshment vehicles will allow for new entrepreneurial opportunities, he said. “What we’ve done is allowed opportunities for people to apply, if they feel their initiative is going to be successful.” “The refreshment vehicles that are already within the municipality, will they be grandfathered?” asked Mayor David Gordon. “That is correct,” said Hutt. “We do have three licenses issued right now. There is a grandfathering provision, pursuant to if the bylaw is passed. The notion is to look forward.” “The licensing goes hand-in-hand with health inspections? Is that correct?” asked Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “That is right,” said Hutt. “There is a number of health inspections. There is TSSA, with gas – propane – safety. There is a number of checks and balances, from a health and safety perspective.” Licenses are the property of the municipality – nontransferable – and they are renewed annu-
ments; to provide continuity in linking our past with current and future events; and to celebrate those who contribute to sport through recognition of athletes and builders, public display of their achievements and preservation of sport heritage.

Imagine a fitness program which gives an aerobic workout, is meditative, uses every muscle and joint in the body, leaves you feeling energized and also works to the benefit of specific health issues such as arthritis, bone density, strength, flexibility, back pain, balance, relaxation, focus and peace of mind. What’s more, it requires no special equipment, is gentle, economical, social, and is taught by dedicated volunteers. It also has a history of success and wisdom spanning thousands of years, and can be practiced at any age by any person, even if disabled. Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland

ally, dependent upon inspections. The bylaw does not deal with special events, such as Canada Day celebrations. “This bylaw, right now, does not address special events,” said Hutt. “If there is a special event, they are required to fill out a special application. As long as they are part of a special event, there won’t be any additional licensing requirements from a municipal perspective.” “I just have a couple questions,” said Les Winters, owner of the two Fat Les’s chip wagons in Kemptville. “The farmers’ market, will they require a permit to cook food, which they are now doing. And the part that’s in the bylaw that says you can’t sell your business; it says on the bottom line, it’s nontransferable. I’m just wondering if that is something that is going to stay there or if that’s going to change.” “The first, with the farmers’ market; we had dialogue with the BIA (Business Improvement Area) in particular, with reference to the farmers’ market,” said Hutt. “Not only are they selling produce, but they are vending as well. That will fall under special events application or permit. We’ve already engaged the farmers’ market from a fire safety perspective.” “With reference to your second question,” he continued. “It’s common practice within licensing bylaws, the licenses are the property of the municipality and they are nontransferable. It’s imperative the municipality has care and control of the licenses. You can sell your business, but at the end of the day, the license is the property of the municipality.” “That’s not going to be very good for me as a business man,” said Winters. “Just following the points brought up concerning the fact that the license cannot be sold,” said Councillor Jim Bertram. “Would it be allowable for someone who wanted to purchase the business, but wanted to be assured the license was there – can they, without having proceeded to buy the business, go ahead and apply for the license?” “That is usual business and absolutely,” said Hutt. “The general practice would be the municipality would still review the application and ensure they are meeting the requirements under the licensing. If you want to call it pre-approval, or what have you, but it still has to be vetted through the municipality.” The amendments were recommended to council.

Gardener’s Corner
What do you mean the first day of Fall? I’ve said this before. As you get older time speeds up. Now I have physics to back me up. As you approach the speed of light, time slows to a crawl. They proved this by flying two cesium atomic clocks around the world in different directions. One with the earth’s rotation, the other against. So this explains why for us slower moving seniors, this summer went by in a blink. For the young kids going to school and soccer practice and hockey and homework, the day goes on forever. For young families trying to balance a career with housework and child rearing, the weekend just never seems to come. I looked at the calendar for the publication date of this article and it said, “First day of Fall”. How can that be? It seems like yesterday I was transplanting seedlings out in the garden. Angie only got the last of the garden ornaments out of the shed last week. And yet our maple trees don’t lie. They are turning yellow and orange and crimson. I’ve spent the last few weeks harvesting crabapples, plums, beets, peppers, squash, cabbage, apples and a ton of tomatoes. Blanching, freezing, pickling and batch after batch of jams and jellies. Anyone that stops by for more then a few minutes leaves with a jar of jam and some tomatoes. Even the Hydro guys that installed our new pole. The local food bank was also very pleased to get two big boxes of fresh produce.

So now what? I don’t want to even think about Christmas until after Remembrance Day. I just know the stores will be festooned in red and green when the last Thanksgiving turkey is carved on October tenth and the radio stations will be playing Christmas carols 24/7 when the last trick-or-treater empties their loot bag. Not for us. Now is the time for bulbs. Time to plant the daffodils, muscari, hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, giant allium and the fall garlic. I was at a local garden centre the other day and the selection was just overwhelming. We have our favourites like the stately large King Alfred daffodils and the two toned narcissus but every year it seems the Dutch reinvent the colour palette for tulips. Here’s the drill for bulbs. You won’t need a drill, just a narrow trowel or a dibble. Plant them at three times the height of the bulb. If the bulb is two inches tall, plant six inches deep. If the bulb is one and five eights inches tall, don’t sweat the fractions. One and a half times three is close enough. And one more tip. Mass plantings are much more impressive then the odd bulb here and there. I really do have to get moving a little faster and slow down the clock. I just couldn’t believe the calendar said the “ First day of Fall”. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com
Fifth annual free dentistry day event at Yazdani Dentistry set for Oct. 1 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Who gives away over $100,000 to strangers? Yazdani Family Dentistry in Kemptville, that’s who. Since 2011, Yazdani has provided over $134,000 in free dental work to local residents. This year’s Smiles on Us event will be held Saturday, Oct. 1, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. People are encouraged to come out around 7 a.m. to register for free dental work, including cleanings, fillings and extractions. There is no catch; just an opportunity to have a happier, healthier smile. Dr. Shahrooz Yazdani offers the free annual dentistry day because that’s “just who he is,” according to Lisa Leduc, Yazdani marketing director. “He is the most humble, caring, giving person I know,” she continued. The true measure of success for the Yazdani practice is determined by how much it can give back to the
community and those in need, she explained. “That is why he does what he does. He understands dentistry is expensive and not everyone can afford it. He wants to help the community and this is one of the best ways to do that.” Yazdani has the capacity to serve 88 people during the Smiles on Us event. “In the past, we haven’t been able to fill the whole day,” said Leduc. “Last year, we wrapped up the day around 2:30 p.m. because there was no one else to treat. I think people are skeptical of the event, but it’s just a fun day and an opportunity to get dental work done at no cost.” The Yazdani staff volunteer for the event and the majority of them come out to contribute their skills. “It’s a fun day for the staff.” The Smiles on Us event will also run at the new Kanata location of Yazdani Dentistry, located at 450 Kanata Avenue right across from the CIBC. The event will be held on the same date, at the same time, as the

McLEAN Sept. 20 was always a special day to the McLean family but this year it marks 2 months since we said goodbye to Ron at the Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club. The overwhelming friendship, love and support was truly amazing, from the owners and staff at the L.G.G.&C.C. who went above and beyond in providing a wonderful day, to the 200+ people who turned out to share a story, a Pepsi or one of Ron’s jokes (apparently some people actually found his jokes funny!) the love surrounded us. There are not enough thank yous or hugs to show how much your support has meant to us. From T.J. who continues to be my rock and shoulder to cry on, to our family, to friends and to friends who are like family, and to the shopkeeper who took time today to tell me “Your husband was such a kind man”... TO ALL OF YOU... your donations, support, visits, hugs and expressions of sympathy, confirmed the kind, generous man we knew as our husband, father and grampa. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we are humbled to accept your support, love and sympathy. Toby, George, Kingsley, Fred and Gib, no doubt Ron is playing a perfect game of golf where he is but I know he will be watching and whispering advice to you to improve your game... play nice!

O’NEILL
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Edrick O’Neill on Sunday, September 11, 2016. Born on July 8, 1940 in Gaspé, Québec. Devoted husband of 54 years to his forever love, Sharon. Father of Kelly (Paul), Shawn (Kathy), Robyn (Mark) and grandfather of Lindsay, Courtney, Matthew, Daniel and Maeve. Ed loved fishing, skiing, golfing, playing guitar, woodworking, bird watching and helping his kids with home projects and repairs. He was an avid volunteer with the Kinsmen Club for 20 years, building with Habitat for Humanity, selling poppies for the Legion, construction with the rebuilding of the United Church and most recently, the Christmas Kettles campaign with the Salvation Army. There was never a time he wasn’t helping others. Ed never wanted to be centre stage, but always in the supporting cast helping others where needed. Many people came and went through the old A&P grocery store both customers and employees. Few left without being touched by how he treated them. He chose to invest heavily in family and people, caring little for the material things of this world. Strong and silent until the very end, without complaint, for what good could come from that. To celebrate Ed’s life, a service will be held on Saturday, September 24th at 10 am, at the Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls. In lieu of charitable donations, the family asks that you perform a random act of kindness in his memory. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls.

Selfless almost to a fault she would never hesitate to give of herself if it meant she thought she could make someone’s, or something’s lot in life just a little bit better. Always there for each other - best friends for fifty years – she was Dennis’ life, and he was hers. Tonia was a loving mother and grandmother who relished every moment with her kids and grandkids, making every one feel special, and loved. Quirky, fun, and joyous of spirit she could turn any occasion - momentous or mundane - into a unique experience to look forward to. Passionate, with a love of the written word, she loved a good story about good people doing good things, or calling attention to injustices that needed correcting. She lived by and acted on her conviction. A loyal friend, she was kind and unassuming. She embodied the best of what we can be. She will be sorely missed. Friends are invited to celebrate her life at the Stone Cellar (71 Gore St E, Perth, ON) on Saturday September 24th, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. In remembrance, contributions can be made to an animal welfare charity of your choice. Tonia’s arrangements are entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, of Perth, ON.

MAHON, Frank Joseph September 21, 2015 GOD’S GARDEN God looked around His garden And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this Earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and Lifted you to res,t God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Love Betty, Paul, Kelly , Taylor , Mitch, Annette, Mikayla, Dakota, Lacey, Adam and Nola

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

A tale like no other: The history of the Rideau Glen Ladies League “I had a dream” – old Tom Morris, the olden master and father of golf as it is played today, holds the key to Ella’s entry to the heavenly golf course. He stipulates that in order to play it, she must first win the de Pencier, which is the oldest trophy of the ladies league at the Rideau Glen golf course. Second, she must win the Club Championship. Third, she must delve into the history of the ladies league and report it for future references. She must go back in time and revive her ideals to accomplish old Tom Morris’ wishes. Ella is a young perfectionist who always tries to achieve high standards of excellence. She is on the putting green practicing but at the same time, keeping an eye on the one person she has hopes to emulate. Louise Dickenson has her name on most of the trophies and Ella could very well follow in her footsteps. Contemporaries of Louise and who were rated to be her equal in the ‘70s and ‘80s were Marg Coffell, Fran Pickard, Rachel Tennant, Marnie Martin and Beth Hamilton amongst many. But the young Marg Coffell is the most prolific winner of them all. Ella will be in good company.
grew, so they added four more holes. The first tournament in 1932 was played on six holes then going around on number one, two, and three a second time to make-up a nine-hole course. This was a great success. Then it was decided to make the course into a regular ninehole course. It was a necessity and it added a great asset to Kemptville. The men had their games and so did the ladies. An A. Adams & Eva Barnes were the first names to appear on the first trophy donated by Canon de Pencier in 1936. Visitors and town’s people have been using the course ever since. It became a hot social spot run by Jack and Ellen de Prattle. They were great managers and encouraged the members although they themselves didn’t play. It was quite a competitive club and they went out to ‘interclub’ games, especially in Iroquois. The course improved through the years under different management and owners. The ladies appear, as do the men, playing in the mixed league with their husbands or friends. A photo on the wall in the clubhouse shows them in 1947, the ladies wearing long dresses or skirts. How awkward that must have been!
Rideau Glen The ladies league goes hand in hand with the beginning of the golf course in 1929. Cottagers along the Rideau River, who spent their summers relaxing, were in need of some amusement. Golf was getting to be known. They began playing on two holes on the farmland of a Mr. W. A. Barnes. Two years later, the interest of the people around Kemptville
Ladies The ladies spending the summer at their cottage played every day, with the ladies of the town escaping from the drudgery of housekeeping. Tuesday was the day for playing in the league. They all had a great time. Many potluck dinners, catered meals and barbecues were held at each other’s houses, after Sunday’s play. The men would then join the ladies. Joy-
ful fun was had by all. In 1955, golf was booming in the area and other nine hole courses were opening up. Prescott, Brockville, Morrisburg, Iroquois were part of the ‘friendly’ and inter club games. Later came the ‘invitationals.’ In those years and from the emergence of golf in the mid1800s, only men played golf. Ladies were not allowed on the most prestigious courses. It is only lately in the United States that the ladies have been allowed to play at Augusta, Georgia. But St. Andrew’s and other courses in Scotland are still only men’s clubs. The ladies of Kemptville would not permit their husband’s chauvinism to keep them from playing. Too much was at stake… Little is known, but there is a mention that the tee boxes for the ladies were on the same mount as the men but about three feet ahead of them. It’s only been since 2005 that the ladies had their own tees apart from the men. Also on number one tee box, the bulrushes and swampy bog weren’t there. It is only afterwards that these were added, making it harder for the men to see the fairway and the green. From the ‘60s through to the ‘80s, golf in Kemptville was very popular and continued to be a great pastime. The ladies competed in many different tournaments. End of season affairs were mixed, held on Saturday nights with ‘beef & greens’ dinners with dancing afterwards where great fellowship ensued. The ‘spiritual director’ was included in every do that they had. No, he was not a priest or minister of the church, but the person responsible to
secretly carry a box of spirits into the then ‘dry’ clubhouse. It had no liquor permit so booze was smuggled in for all to enjoy. Later on, in more modern times, a permit was granted to the clubhouse, with chefs or cooks hired to feed the hungry golfers. Trophies were awarded at these mixed dos. It seems that the names of Coffell, Dickenson, Martin and Pickard frequently appear on the trophies. But Marg Coffell and Louise Dickenson had a great competition between each other. Both were perfectionist and played their games well, being “A or B” flight players, and won every trophy. But Marg was the most prolific winner ever in the ladies league. She has won all of them three to five times, until she retired her ‘A’ game and her competitive abilities in 1999; a true champion which has not been seen since! She has kept on playing for her pleasure into the 21st century. 1990s and 2000s The socializing slowly ebbed as more and more ladies worked away from home and were too busy to keep on golfing. In the ‘90s the league continued on their Tuesdays play and the captains took turns sending the members out to play. It was not too organized and friends always played together leaving new comers to fend for themselves. Cliques were formed and hard to break. The format was to change later on. In 2005, the course grew from nine holes to a regular 18 holes making it a more challenging course. The league’s activities were numerous but the socializing was the same:
barbecues, corn roasts and potlucks were held once a year at member’s houses or at the clubhouse. There were also sports dress-up, crazy hats, Hawaiian nights, ‘green and gold’ to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the club. There were Halloween costumes with witches and clowns galore, Lucifer, Dutch girl, Scarecrow, black cat and even a Moe Norman dress-up and many others. There were also Christmas in July, and great turkey dinners to close-up the season, with the distribution of the trophies. Friendly and Invitational tournaments were held at inter clubs. Intersectionals and seniors’ intersectionals are OVGA tournaments, which the ladies of Rideau Glen participated in for a few years. Mixed seniors league It started approximately in 1999 with players from both leagues – men and women, playing on Wednesday morning. Best ball was the format with the ‘Thorpe Cup’ to be won at the end of the season. But sadly it was cancelled by 2008 because the ladies decided to have an 18 holes league, which played on Thursday mornings. This gave a jolt to the senior’s league and a sad omen of what was going to happen to them. It was too much golf for some of the ladies, three days in a row, and they wanted to try the PPP league (P*** Poor Putter). It was fun and you paid .25 cent for every three putts that you had up to a maximum of $1.50 of 6x3 putts. The seniors suffered and the league was sadly disbanded. Some tried to revive it a few
years later, but with no success. Alas the ‘Thorpe Cup’ sits and waits in hope of a revival. Executive committee The election of a new executive committee is held every two years with a full roster from president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, captains, social convener, tournament coordinator and reporter for the newspapers. The first committee of executive that Ella could find was only in 1970’s with Jean Hyndman as president. Then it leaps to 1982 with Phyllis Derry as president. There is absolutely nothing until 1997 when Mildred Lines was president. Captain and new format In 2008, a new captain, Cecile Fortier, came in with new ideas to install a different format of play for the Tuesday’s game. Before this, the ladies were in disarray with no order whatsoever. Cecile brought in the present use of a sign-up sheet and the captain making up the foursomes, mixing everyone and giving them a different tee time every week. After three years, Cecile handed her baton to Nicole and Dorothy, and presently it is in the hands of Jean and Frankie. All is going very smoothly. From afternoon to morning In 2015 the traditional afternoon game was transferred to early morning after the ladies voted for the change. The late afternoon still exists for those who work or can’t play in the morning because of appointments. The league has doubled since 2015 to near 90 members. See Ladies page K12

Ladies league grows over the years CONTINUED
From page K11
Trophies The ladies played for many trophies from the outset of Rideau Glen. The oldest trophy the ‘de Pencier’ was given by Canon de Pencier, an Anglican clergy from Burritts Rapids. It was first awarded in 1935 and 1936 to M. Adams. In 1965, the McQuaid trophy was awarded to Lois Beckett and is still awarded for the Championship to the ‘B’ flight player. Lois Beckett donated a trophy carrying her name in 1969 and it was awarded to E. Burrows. But then this trophy was retired. In 1970, the ‘Havelin,’ donated by Mr. and Mrs. Havelin from Ottawa, was first awarded to Mary Bustard and Marnie Martin. This trophy is still awarded every year. In 1982, the ‘Dickenson Tray,’ donated by Louise’s sister, Anna, and awarded to an ‘A’ flight player. The first to win it was Marg Coffell. Louise was captain of the ladies league for many years, but died very young of cancer. It is ironic that Marg was the first winner of this trophy, since her and Louise were always competing against each other. In 1989, the ‘Jean Hyndman,’ was donated by her son John. Jean was also president and captain of the league. It was first awarded to Lois Smith. The club championship trophies, all four of them, first for the Champion, then the B, C, D flights were donated by dif-
ferent companies from the area. The first was awarded to Lois Beckett in 1965. Then we leap to 1973 to Marg Coffell, Club champion, after that nothing is registered until 1991. In 1999, the ‘Ringer Board’ was awarded in 1997 to the most improved player but no names are mentioned. In 1999, the ‘Friendly’ is donated by the ladies league to the best foursome of the get together. First to win it was Rideau Glen. ‘Thorpe Cup’ donated by the senior’s league to Bill and Lillian Thorpe in 2006 for their strong support of the seniors and the club and their longtime membership to Rideau Glen. In turn they donated this ‘Cup’ to the mixed senior’s league. First winners were: Helen MacKenzie, Brian McGregor, Wayne Madaglia and Bill Thorpe. ‘Birdie tree’ has been in existence from the early start but no specific date or winners. It lives on with pins awarded monthly to those who have birdies on the Tuesday or Thursday league play. In conclusion Ella, the young lady who wished to emulate an ‘A’ player had her work cut out. While playing for the first of her tournament, the ‘de Pencier,’ she was struck by a stray golf ball and had a concussion which delayed her continuation of play for a week or two. But she did finish with flying colours and won the coveted trophy. As for the Club Championship, she also won the most prestigious cup of all. The third of her stipulations from old Tom
Morris was the history of the ladies league. This gave her more problems than she ever anticipated. But with keen interest and perseverance she delved strongly into the information kept, and interviewed many people. The progress was slow especially from the years starting off 1929 to 1997 when almost nothing was kept on file. Ella contacted the North Grenville Archives, The Kemptville Advance newspaper archives, and finally the National Archives in Ottawa, but to no avail. Absolutely nothing was registered. She only got bits of information which came out as “We all had lots of great fun”! So through the 86 years of surviving, the ladies league is very much alive with 90 members for the season 2016. It is in a healthy position to assure the longevity of the league for another 100 years! Ella and old Tom Morris are playing golf together in Heaven and looking down on us. “I had a dream”…Rideau Glen ladies league in Kemptville will go on forever… Many thanks to Marjorie Graham, Helen Oram, Lois Arundel, Rachel Tennant, Frankie Baird and Joe Morin of The Kemptville Advance for all their input and helping in my research. Special thanks to Marg Coffell and Fran Pickard who were a great help with their anecdotes. I loved doing the research and interviewing people and I hope that this is proof that data and history should be included in the archives. Submitted by Cecile Fortier

Join the crazy car rally that will take you through 10 stops in North Grenville, Spencerville and Prescott. “Along the way, there will be scavenger hunts and poker hands that need to be built,” said Leduc. “It’s a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon as a family.” First prize for the event is $500 - covered by BNI businesses that have paid to be a part of the route. Second prize is $250 and third prize is a surprise. The purpose of the event is to raise
awareness of local businesses and Ryan’s Well, which will receive all funds from registration. The goal is to raise $1,500 for the foundation and cover the cost of a new water project in Africa. Registration for the event is $25 per car, with a minimum of two people per car, and a 50 car limit. Participants are asked to congregate at the Grenville Mutual building, located at 380 Colonnade Drive in Kemptville, prior to 12 noon. “The rally will
conclude around 4 p.m. and then we’ll head over to Shoeless Joe’s for the awards ceremony,” said Leduc. There will also be a dunk tank on site at Shoeless Joe’s to raise additional funds for Ryan’s Well. “This is our first year, but we’re hoping to make it an annual event,” said Leduc.

Ashley Furniture’s star shines down on former Hathaway Building BY AMY HOGUE
Entrance to the Ashley Homestore Select Opening soon in the former Hathaway Building in Prescott The upcoming opening of a new Ashley Furniture store in Prescott has renewed local interest in its location – the former Hathaway Shirt factory – an icon in the community and one with sentimental value for the community and beyond. While Ashley Furniture franchise owner, Jay Upadhyay, said he didn’t have any foreknowledge of the building’s history when he chose it as the location for his new store, he’s been pleasantly surprised by the number of people in the community and surrounding area who have had experience with the former factory, either by visiting the store, or by working for Hathaway. Even when speaking with contractors or suppliers, some as far away asToronto, Upadhyay said everyone seems to know of, or have some personal experience with the Hathaway building, as employees, or from having purchased shirts there. “There’s been a lot of interest in the building, and people asking questions, saying how they’re happy that after six or seven years the building will be occupied,” Upadhyay explained, “It’s nice seeing the passion for this building…people are really keen to know what is happening here.” The Hathaway Shirt Factory has occupied a building on St. Lawrence Street in Prescott for nearly 60 years, founded in 1952 by Jim Walker. Upadhyay said that Jim’s wife, Betty Walker, has been into

As a corporation, Ashley Furniture the memories she has of the location. has strong environmental policies, “I spent a couple of hours with Betty, ranging from a commitment to planting she was remembering when Jim did tens of thousands of trees annually, to this or that,” Upadhyay said, “It was nice reclaiming wood furniture waste to burn to meet her and hear her stories of the for clean energy.

Upadhyay anticipates a soft opening for the store near the end of September, with a grand opening planned for October 2016.

Literary Follies
Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland
The 14th annual Literary Follies event was held Sept. 17 and 18 at the Grenville Mutual building in Kemptville. An array of talented authors and musicians created an event that can only be described as an artistic wonderland. The event was put on by the Friends of the North Grenville Public Library. Above, award winning Canadian author Elizabeth Hay kept the crowd enthralled during question and answer period, after reading an excerpt from her book ‘His Whole Life.’ Below, pictured are some of the authors; from left, Molly O’Connor, Elizabeth Hay, Janet Stark and Diana Fisher.
At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce
the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

The anticipated outcome of this program is to strengthen our asset management processes, create policy and government framework and update our asset management plan.” The municipality, along with the 11 other municipalities, entered into an agreement with a contract to hire a consulting firm (CH2M Hill). “Staff representatives, along with myself, have agreed to enter into this contract with this firm, with work commencing now and scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2017. So this is just an update that work has been started, we’ve entered into our agreement, and we’ll keep you updated as we go through this contract.”
report of municipal council, explained the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council, of which he serves as warden, voted in favour of signing a letter of support for the TransCanada Energy East Pipeline on Sept. 6. “We had a major presentation by Jon Pitcher, community relations for TransCanada, about the Energy East Pipeline project,” said Gordon. “According to the Conference Board of Canada, which is the final say on everything, the Energy East Pipeline will deliver $55 billion towards Canada’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and $10 billion in taxes to the federal and provincial governments. And this money will be used to pay for schools, roads and hospitals, which we badly need. Canada imports 16 per cent of our oil from Angola, Iraq, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.” “Now there’s some moral questions here,” he continued. “Where we’re getting our oil – do they have any human rights? And the answer, in my opinion, is no. And these countries, one of their major exports, is supplying money for terrorism. I would think that we should be self-sufficient, instead of going out and buying oil from countries that County council supports Energy support terrorism and have no human East Pipeline, says mayor rights.” Mayor David Gordon, during his He stated all members of County

Council voted in favour of supporting the project, with the exception of Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash. “We have to look at it practically; we have to make a choice,” said Gordon. “This pipeline will create energy independence for Canada.” “You mentioned the moral question in terms of where oil is coming from,” said Councillor Jim Bertram. “Personally, I think another part of that is attached to the economic question. We have people in Canada who are out of work, we have an entire province (Ontario) on its knees right now. We have oil reserves; we have resources here that, to my knowledge, should be used instead of bringing in competitive oil from overseas.” “So it’s a moral question, but it’s also an economic question of whether we’re going to build this country or just sit on what we have,” he continued.
Salvation Army Thrift Store needs volunteers
Do a good deed for those in need. The Salvation Army Thrift Store in Kemptville is in need of volunteers. “Our summer positions are finished now and we need five new volunteers to fill those slots,” explained Erin Wong, Kemptville Salvation Army Director. If people are interested in volunteering, they can go directly the Salvation Army community services office located at 2 Oxford Street West in Kemptville to apply. “We need volunteers for shifts Monday through to Saturday,” said Wong. Each day, the thrift store needs five volunteers to keep things running smoothly. “Volunteering one day a week is the norm, but we also have people who volunteer a half day each week,” said Wong. “It’s a great team environ-

Programs such as back-to-school, the food bank, the snowsuit fund and emergency services are supported by the store.
“Volunteering is a nice social outlet for people too,” said Wong. Various volunteer positions and roles at the thrift store are available and training is provided. For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact the Salvation Army directly by calling (613)258-3583.
This enticing event aptly called An Affair With Food & Drink is designed to showcase the impressive quality of food and drink offered by entrepreneurs, restaurants and craft beverage specialists within a 100 mile radius of the small village of Spencerville, which has always excelled in creative thinking. The event is happening at the Spencerville Mill & Museum on Sunday, Sept. 25 from 2 to 6 p.m. Tastes and flavours include savoury food, sweet treats, craft beers, hard cider, wines and distillery offerings as well as artisan tea, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, yogurt and more. Several featured products are gluten free or organic in keeping with the specialty nature of the tasting choices. Some of the vendors represent wellestablished small businesses while others are just getting started but they share a common commitment to great taste, local sourcing and happy consumers. You’ll meet an interesting range of vendors from the urban Ottawa area and the towns of Manotick and Kemptville to the villages of Iroquois, Mountain, Oxford Mills, Johnstown, and Spencerville among others. Organizers are spreading the word to foodies in Ottawa and environs as well as smaller places all along the 416 route into Spencerville and throughout the St. Lawrence corridor to “travel to the taste” and sample the best in food and flavours while enjoying the heritage ambience of
the scenic Spencerville Mill & Museum on the South Nation River. For several decades, starting in the late 1800s, the old grist Mill sold several varieties of the best flour available in Eastern Ontario. That history of feeding people well makes the Mill an appropriately symbolic venue for this new showcase of locally made good things to consume. Keeping things lively throughout the afternoon, Nellie Holmes and Bob Webb of the The Pie Plates band will contribute foot-tapping country, blues and roots music to add an extra beat to what you eat. This community fundraising event is co-hosted by the Spencerville Mill Foundation and the Friends of the Library, Spencerville Branch, with all proceeds benefitting Mill and Library programs and activities for residents, visitors and the general public.

Musical taste and appreciation is usually a very personal thing. For some, the sound of an orchestra is the epitome of refinement; for others, it is just noise. The same might be said for Country, Folk, Rock, Reggae, Hip Hop, etc. What develops those preferences in people? A good question, although I might not have a good answer. I suspect one’s preferences are based upon what they have been exposed to. If you grew up in a house with no music, your appreciation and experience is going to be much different from that of those who experienced an eclectic selection that ranged through Classical, Opera, Roots, etc.

Reading music can be difficult enough; reading music and singing the right notes at the same time is more so. Doing both of these while around you, the other three sections are singing their notes (a male choir will have 4 parts usually: bass, baritone, 1st tenors, 2nd tenors) can take some time to learn to do properly.

On Friday, September 16, the visiting Cornwall Colts came to Kemptville. The Colts were in first place in the Robinson Division with the 73’s nipping at their heels. It was a game you would expect from the two top teams in the league. The action was epic as both teams tried to establish dominance but neither would give in. The first period was scoreless with Kemptville out shooting Cornwall 117. Almost halfway through the second, Victor Tracy scored to put the 73’s up 1-0. The goal, Tracy’s third of the year, was set up by Nick Bissonette and Tyson Kirkby. Before the period was over, the Colts managed to tie it at 1-1. Again, they were out shot by Kemptville 15-9. The third saw the intensity pick up even more. At 15:32, Quinn Wichers scored his second of the season to put Kemptville ahead again. The assist went to Jake Gaudet and Alex Row. But Kemptville was unable to hold the lead as Cornwall evened the score at 2-2 with 1:22 left in the game. The overtime was cautious with no one taking any risks. The shoot out was exciting and the crowd went wild
when Kemptville’s third shooter, Alex Row, buried one to beat the Colts 3-2. The 73’s out shot the Colts 45-33 in the victory. Nick Hodgins was selected as first star while Noah Rowe picked up the second star. On Sunday, September 18, the team travelled to the Earl Armstrong Arena in Gloucester to face the last place Rangers. Kemptville played poorly in the first and second periods, allowing Gloucester to take a 4-1 lead. The 73’s goal was scored by Matt Tugnutt assisted by Jake Gaudet and Alex Row. The goal was Tugnutt’s fourth of the year. In the third, Kemptville found their game.
Tyson Kirkby and Quinn Wichers set up Jed Raby’s first CCHL goal. Before the ten minute mark, Victor Tracy made it a 4-3 game for Gloucester. Tyler Beauparlant and Joe McGrath picked up the helpers. The 73’s were unable to get the tying goal and went down to a 4-3 defeat. Matt Tugnutt was named third star in the losing cause. This weekend, on Friday, September 23, Kemptville travels to Smiths Falls for a 7:30 game. On Sunday, September 25, the Brockville Braves visit North Submitted Photo Grenville.

Food from the heart
Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland
Volunteers at the First Christian Reformed Church in Kemptville were busy preparing dozens of home cooked meals for those in need on Sept. 12. Whenever meals are needed, for new mothers, the sick or people struggling to pay for groceries, volunteers at the church swing into high gear making casseroles and quiche. The church receives food donations for the cause and the rest is funded by the compassionate care fund at the church. Kudos to the volunteers!
