Council considering mandatory public skating helmet policy BY PAULINA HREBACKA

phrebacka@metroland.com

At the Oct. 16 North Grenville committee of the whole meeting, director of parks, recreation and culture Mark Guy brought a recommendation to council that a helmet policy be implemented at the North Grenville Municipal Centre during public skating events. This policy would not apply to figure skaters registered with Skate Canada who have completed Stage 5 of the Can Skate program and are participating in events, competitions or training activities hosted by their respective Skate Canada sanctioned organization, persons administering emergency first aid, or coaches and trainers of the Kemptville 73’s Jr. A hockey team.

Beckwith comes out on top in United Way municipal challenge BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

The Township of Beckwith edged out their Drummond/North Elmsley neighbours to claim the title for the 2016 United Way Lanark County municipal challenge. Results were announced during the Oct. 11 Lanark County council meeting at the administration building in Perth. According to UWLC regional director Fraser Scantlebury, Beckwith won by just $45.92, bringing in $2,855.92 from its employees and council members. “This was the closest one ever,” he said, noting that Drummond/North Elmsley has won the challenge for three out of four years. Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd accepted the honour on behalf of the township, while Drummond/North Elmsley Reeve Aubrey Churchill picked up the award for his municipality, which collected $2,830. Taking third spot for the third time in as many years, was the Municipality of Mississippi Mills with $2,320. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin accepted the certificate. Scantlebury commended the other municipalities who had participated in the municipal challenge with certificates of appreciation, including the Township of Lanark Highlands and towns of Carleton Place and Smiths Falls. He also praised the employees of Lanark County. “Just so you know, the municipal employees and councillors, and that includes the employees of Lanark County, raised over $16,586.92 in the 2016 campaign and $7,700 of that came from the employees of Lanark County,” he explained. UWLC serves Lanark County and Smiths Falls and touched more than 8,000 individuals last year, reflected in a community benefit of one in eight people. Through their partner agencies, 4,672 received hot meals, transportation and home help; 1,851 youth were given help with skills development, housing, counselling and mentoring; and 577 children received daycare, Christmas gifts and snowsuits thanks to funds raised through the organization’s annual campaign. In addition, 385 adults were given skill development, literacy training and restorative justice programs, while another 447 with hearing loss or vision impairment received counselling, devices and training. “Once again, thank you for your support…you’re helping youth, seniors and those that need our help in Lanark County,” Scantlebury said. Golf tournament funds directed to United Way During the meeting, proceeds from the annual Lanark County Warden’s Golf Tournament.

Bad weather dampens crop yields for food banks in Great Veggie Grow-Off BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Less is more – except when it comes to food. Fresh produce donations to the Lanark County Food Bank in Carleton Place were down substantially from last year, with Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE) Township dropping from second place to nearly off the charts in this year's Great Veggie Grow-Off challenge. “It was very tough for growers and farmers,” said Karin Nakamura, manager at The Hunger Stop (Lanark County Food Bank), during the garden party and wrap-up ceremony for the Great Veggie Grow-Off, speaking at the Carleton Place Community Garden, beside St. Gregory school, on Saturday, Oct. 14. “Our numbers are down this year…(because of) the poor conditions. It’s been a really bad year for gardening.” In 2016, Mississippi Mills won the Great Veggie Grow-Off, as it did this year, with 3,385 lbs of food donated. This year, however it was down to 2,646 lbs, though the municipality still won the competition, with Carleton Place in second place. As for DNE, they donated 2,122 lbs of food in 2016 – and only 187 lbs this year. Perth was also way down, from 1,002 lbs last year to 367 lbs this year, and Tay Valley Township also suffered

Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin, centre, beams as he again holds high his winning cup, which runneth over, with his community having once again won the Great Veggie Grow Off for the fouth year in a row. He allowed Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos, left, to place a few fingers on the trophy in the Carleton Place Community Garden, beside St. Gregory school, as well as celebrity gardener Ed Lawrence, on Saturday, Oct. 14. from the overly moist weather, from a donation of 866 lbs in 2016 to 156 lbs this year. Smiths Falls was also down slightly, from 836 lbs to 684 lbs. However, Carleton Place (whose amounts were lumped in with Beckwith Township’s) saw their donation poundage increase, from 1,336 (jointly) last year, to 2,041 this year, 1,000 lbs of

which came from the community garden. Lanark Highlands Township was also up this year, from 574 lbs to 616 lbs. (An “unknown” amount, which could not be traced geographically, as it was left on the food bank’s entrance, of 160 lbs, was also registered.) Competitive spirit

However, 6,857 lbs of food was still raised from all participating communities, and it was once again Mississippi Mills’ chance to crow – though Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin let Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos speak first this past Saturday, because “it’s your patch,” with the pun intended. “My spirits have been dashed somewhat by the numbers up there,” said Antonakos. But, pointing to the vibrant garden around him, he noted that “this is one small project that has taken flight,” which has contributed to “the betterment of Lanark County.” He conceded defeat to Mississippi Mills, but warned that Carleton Place “may be down, but we are never out.” McLaughlin conceded that, this year, Carleton Place was “a serious contender,” in the grow-off. “We broke a bit of sweat in Mississippi Mills, for the first time in four years,” said McLaughlin. “Thank you for giving us something to compete against.” McLaughlin commended all of the growers for “digging deeper,” himself included. “I like to feed people, and I like to win,” he said. Setting friendly competitions like this in motion, “sets the seeds for future generations.” “How many more puns can I do?” McLaughlin then asked. “The day will come that Carleton

Place will get all of the newcomers gardening,” said McLaughlin, looking around the patch in Carleton Place. Joining the two men at the ceremony was famed Rideau Hall gardener Ed Lawrence, who is also well known as the gardening advice guru on the provincial call-in show “Ontario Today,” on CBC Radio One. “What’s needed is that (we) keep this going,” said Lawrence. “This is for future generations to come. In a country like this, that we need food banks (at all)…sucks big time.” “The hunger has not stopped,” Lawrence continued. “So we have to keep working. I think we can do it.” Community activist Jeff Mills agreed with Lawrence’s view. “Lots of people worry about their next meal,” said Mills. But competitions like the grow-off help “communities bring out the best in each other, when they challenge each other.” This was the fourth year for the Great Veggie Grow-Off, which kicks off annually on May 1, International Workers' Day. The initiative challenges all Lanark County residents to grow extra produce for their respective food banks. Food banks benefitting from this year's donations include The Hunger Stop (serving Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills), Lanark Highlands Food Pantry, The Table Community Food Centre in Perth and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

Two Rivers Food Hub celebrates three years in operation, record growth in 2017 The Two Rivers Food Hub will soon be marking three years in operation, and a year of record growth and successful job creation while supporting the local food economy in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties. Bruce Enloe, general manager for the food hub, explained that the year 2017 has been a pivotal year for the Two Rivers Food Hub, and represents a period of growth he anticipates will continue to build upon in future years. “We’re pleased with how things are shaping up at the food hub, we’re definitely on track for reaching the goals that were outlined five years ago when the food hub started out,” Enloe said. Enloe went on to point out that since its opening in November 2014, the food hub has consistently met goals and strategic measures for success in acting as a connection point for buyers and sellers of local foods. Currently, the food hub is transporting local foods to restaurant and wholesale buyers throughout much of eastern Ontario, with clients that include an Ottawa-based casual

eating chain, many ‘field to table’ restaurants and institutional cafeterias. In addition, the Two Rivers Food Hub sells products from approximately 90 area farms, and reports more than $700,000 in annualized wholesale sales, recording an increase of 36 per cent in the previous quarter alone, a trend that seems destined to continue into 2018 as the food hub strives to reach its goal of $1.2 million in sales annually. Peter McKenna, Two Rivers Food Hub board chair, explained that the upward trend in sales is a good sign for the food hub, and an indicator of the strong support the communities in Lanark, Leeds Grenville and Ottawa have for local food incubation. “We don’t want to toot our own horn, but things are looking good for the food hub moving forward into 2018,” McKenna said. “The support we’ve received from the community, in addition to funding agencies like Valley Heartland, the Ontario Greenbelt Fund, the Trillium Foundation, the Eastern Ontario Development

Program (EODP), and the Collaborative Economic Development Program (CEDP) has been, and will continue to be, valuable indicators of the food hub’s success.” The Two Rivers Food Hub also plays in important role as full-time and part-time job

creator in the Lanark, Leeds Grenville areas. It has either directly or indirectly created employment for more than 50 people, with the bulk of the job creation coming from its in-demand commercial kitchen rentals, where more than 30 jobs have been created over the

past two years alone. The commercial kitchen provides local food processors with an incubation space in which to grow their business, and as of 2017 more than 35 food processors have taken advantage of the kitchen space, creating an estimated $2.5 million of re-

Kings Creek hazard land mapping public open house set for Nov. 8 The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has completed a hazard mapping study for Kings Creek — a tributary of the Jock River — from the Brunton Side Road to the Jock River. Members of the public are invited to an upcoming open house to review regulations and hazard maps. This study provides new mapping that show areas that are prone to natural hazards such as flooding and erosion and have natural environmental features such as wetlands. The mapping will be used by the City of Ottawa and the townships of Beckwith and Montague when updating their Official Plan and zoning schedules and in the review of development applications under the Planning Act. RVCA will also use the mapping to guide the review of development applications submitted under the RVCA’s Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation. The goal of this mapping is to help ensure that sound planning decisions are made — keeping people and property safe. Accurate engineered hazard mapping is the foundation of effective floodplain and resource management. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the open house and/or provide comments on the mapping. Conservation authority staff welcome historical records of past flood events, news clippings, photographs and even anecdotal stories to help confirm the reasonableness of calculations and resulting hazard mapping. For those unable to attend the open house, mapping can also be seen online at www.rvca.ca/kings-creekmapping-study and comments sent to Ferdous Ahmed, RVCA senior water resources engineer at ferdous. ahmed@rvca.ca. To understand how mapping may affect your property, you can contact an RVCA resource specialist at development@rvca.ca or complete an online property inquiry form at www.rvca.ca/regulationsplanning/general-property-inquiries. The Kings Creek regulations and hazard land mapping public open house will take place Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at St. Clare Mission Hall, 4001 Dwyer Hill Rd. S., Dwyer Hill. This study is being done through a collaboration involving the City of Ottawa and the Rideau Valley, Mississippi Valley and South Nation conservation authorities. The RVCA is currently working on several studies in the Ottawa area. For a complete list on ongoing work, please visit www. rvca.ca. Submitted by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority

COMMENTARY

Delivering precious cargo

ith the arrival of National School Bus Safety Week, it is disconcerting to read a Leeds County OPP release about there having been several recent reports of motorists failing to stop for flashing red lights. Although dash cams and similar devices are becoming more common and would help with efforts to investigate incidents and lay charges, that will not provide a quick fix for the ongoing problem associated with drivers who don't seem to notice or care about how their behaviour is putting lives at risk. A fine of $400 plus six demerit points for a first conviction might, to some extent, serve as a deterrent. Having the fine doubled if the infraction occurs in a community safety zone might also help discourage drivers from taking the chance. Knowing that the local constabulary is probably making more of an effort at this time of year to enforce school bus rules of the road is also something motorists should consider. Unfortunately, there can't be a

cruiser on every block during those weekday morning and afternoon pickup and drop-off periods. According to the Ontario School Bus Association, there are more than 18,000 professional drivers whose job it is to safeguard more than 825,000 elementary and secondary students — about two-fifths of the province's total school population. Parents rely on those professionals to ensure that children are transported to and from their homes safely five times a week, 10 months a year. Apparently, it adds up to in excess of 2 million kilometres of driving every day. Is it too much for all the other drivers on the road to do their part by being aware of their surroundings and to stop when a school bus is flashing its red lights and extending its stop arm as youngsters await to climb aboard or exit the vehicle? It shouldn't be. "Help keep our children safe," note the OPP. "Pay attention!"

Father comes to an acceptance of Mother’s attempts to bring the outdoors in Some fall seasons Mother liked more than others. When it got so cold, we had to start wearing our felt slippers after supper, and the frost came early, Mother got a look of despair on her face. Winter wouldn’t be far off, and that would mean snow, ice, and trips into Renfrew only when necessary. It would mean the small panes of glass in the windows would be frosted up, and the trees in the yard, would be as bare as badgers. But that year, fall held off, and the warm days Mother loved, held on. A few bright orange and red leaves still clung to the big maple tree in our backyard, but the ground around formed a soft blanket of vivid colours.

Mother loved the fall leaves, and when the warmth of a late summer hung on, she didn’t seem to mind the coming of winter so much. That year Mother went out to the backyard under the maple tree, and choosing very carefully, the most perfectly formed, and the brightest of the coloured leaves, she brought them into the house. She would take a slab of hard wax, which came in sheets of four or six in a box, and melt it on the back of the cook stove. The wax would have been bought for melting and then pouring into the tops of jars of relishes, pickles, jams and jellies to prevent mould from forming. The pot stayed on the reservoir to keep it from reforming

fully she would gently take one leaf at a time and dip it into the melted wax. Then each waxed leaf was put on a spread-out copy of the Renfrew Mercury, where it sat until the wax had hardened to Mother’s liking. into a hard mass. All the leaves Mother had picked so carefully from the backyard were perfectly formed and with their stems still attached. They would be gently placed on a tea towel on the bake table, in order of size. I could watch, but I couldn’t touch a leaf in case it would break. This was a job for Mother alone. Bringing the pot of melted wax to the bake table, very care-

antenna on your cell phone. The exception is if your car has a built-in antenna on the outside of the car and a hands-free option with speaker (unfortunately not the majority of cars), the EMR inside the car will be lower while in use because the phone does not have to use as much power to keep a steady signal. If there is no built-in antenna on the outside of the car, the EMR may be substantially higher inside the car, in both standby and talking mode, than when you’re talking/using outside of a car. With ongoing reconnection to microwave towers, the metal in the car reflects the non-ionizing radiation of your cell phone back at you. Same as in airplanes/trains. To help visualize this: understand that a microwave oven microwaves the food so well because the non-ionizing microwave radiation reflects off the sides of the metal box that it is. Same with the non-ionizing radiation of a cellphone in use (not in airplane mode) in a car, plane or train – all metal boxes. It’s a form of microwaving the passengers inside (albeit a little bit slower!). In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified non-ionizing radiofre-

More research shows that cell phone radiation unravels DNA with time. We cannot be too careful. Last week at least one new phone on the market came out that will automatically convert to airplane mode when in a travelling vehicle, unless a call comes in twice by the same number, it will convert back and let the call go through as it could be an emergency. I applaud this new feature as it’s possible to forget to put one’s phone on airplane mode when in a moving vehicle until the habit is in place. If you don’t have that phone yet, make sure it’s your new habit to switch to airplane mode when you sit down to drive or be one of the passengers. The benefit is that you won’t be distracted by incoming texts as they will all be there, saved when you stop the vehicle as well as your phone calls as voicemails. Even better, put the phone out of reach so you won’t succumb to your fear of missing out (FOMO)/curiosity of “is anyone trying to reach me?” that we are susceptible to.

I envision a time when cell phone etiquette will be the norm and it will be akin to second hand smoke. Cell phone use off airplane mode will be limited in moving vehicles and it will be custom to ask permission to convert off airplane mode with your phone, especially with young children in a car, who are so much more susceptible to this radiation. The research is there to support this, despite Big Telecom’s assurance of safety. As a holistic nutritionist, I now have clients with electrohypersensitivity (EHS), confined to their homes to limit EMR exposure. The effects are real; I have seen it with my own eyes and the numbers are growing.

Dream come true: Nov. 4 Latin Fiesta to help SchoolBOX reach 100th classroom Affectionately known as “the little charity that could,” SchoolBOX started with little more than a notebook and a pencil, and a dream to educate children in Nicaragua. At this year’s annual Latin Fiesta on Nov. 4, community members will rally together to support the construction of SchoolBOX’s 100th classroom in the remote community of El Caracol in early 2018. Executive director Sarah Kerr said, “the fact that our 100th classroom is within sight is truly a dream come true. We simply would not be able to reach this goal without the constant support and love from our hometown of Almonte.” SchoolBOX founder Tom Affleck and Kerr built the first SchoolBOX classrooms in the community of San Santiago on Big Corn Island in 2008, with the help of friends and family from Almonte. Replacing a crumbling old structure that had been severely damaged by hurricane Mitch, the new classrooms provided 50 children with the opportunity to go to school. At the time, they had already begun giving out simple school supplies to students. Affleck and Kerr recognized the impact that the supplies had for Nicaraguan families who no longer had to choose between feeding their kids or sending them to school with notebooks and pencils.

SchoolBOX is preparing for its annual Latin Fiesta fundraiser, which endeavours to help educate chlidren in Nicaragua by building schools, providing school supplies, training teachers, etc. This year’s fundraiser will help mark the 100th classroom built by SchoolBOX. Benefitting from those funds will be the teachers and students at El Caracol School, above. they envisioned the possibility that one day SchoolBOX would be able to build 100 classrooms in Nicaragua and equip thousands of deserving kids with the supplies they needed to get an education. What seemed like an "impossible" dream in 2008 is

about to become a reality in 2018. Fiesta guests will get an exclusive chance to see SchoolBOX’s brand new documentary short film as part of the night’s festivities. “This new film tells the life stories of our Nicaraguan director Ronald

Chavarria and our programs manager Jazmin Lopez,” explained Kerr. “These two are really the heartbeat of SchoolBOX. Born into extreme poverty, they could have had the same fate as nearly half of Nicaraguan children who are not able

to complete elementary school. Instead, through incredible perseverance and the gift of school supplies from some unlikely mentors in their lives, they both beat the odds and not only graduated from elementary school but also high school and university. Ronald and Jazmin were able to overcome poverty in one generation through education, and they now oversee the construction of classrooms, the installation of libraries, the delivery of reading days, and they host our international volunteers. They are amazing role models, and together are raising up a new generation of young, educated Nicaraguans.” Kerr hinted that documentary stars themselves may make a “redcarpet” appearance from Nicaragua at the Fiesta. Fiesta chair Brad Weir and many dedicated volunteers on the Fiesta Committee have also put together a silent auction with unique items and experiences donated by local businesses, artists, and community members as well as a live auction with which will feature a trip to Costa Rica.

Visit to Westminster Abbey an intriguing step back in time Queen Elizabeth II was crowned there. Queen Elizabeth I is entombed within its walls. The emotional funeral for Diana, Princess of Wales, was held there 20 years ago. The composer Handel paid to be interred inside this world famous building. Little wonder that people line up endlessly, six days a week, for a chance to tour a structure which is always among the top 10 attractions in London, England. Many of you will already know that I’m referring to Westminster Abbey which, along with Notre Dame in Paris and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, is consistently listed as one of the top 10 most famous churches in the world. The history of the magnificent Gothic church is remarkable in and of itself. The fact that more than 3,000 people including queens, kings, statesmen, soldiers, actors and poets are buried in the abbey adds to the allure that prompts more than a million visitors a year to tour the church. My wife and I have visited the abbey many times over the years. We regularly recommend it to family and friends as one of the “must-see” attractions in the British capital. I have yet to hear from anyone who was disappointed by their visit. In September 2016, my son and I spent 10 days in London. It was Craig’s first time in the city and although Westminster Abbey was on our “to-do list,”

we only saw it from the outside. Our planned tour never materialized as we simply ran out of time. Last month, we returned to busy London. We made sure to schedule time for a tour of the abbey. Afterward, Craig said he was glad we did! An adult ticket costs £20 ($33 CDN) and if you purchase in advance (we did through the concierge at our hotel) you can enter directly and avoid the often hour-long queue. Guided tours are available and having taken two of them in the past, I recommend it, especially for first-time visitors. However, with a busy day planned, we opted for the audio guide, which is excellent and comes free with your admission ticket. When you press the button on the English guide, a familiar voice greets you. Popular British actor Jeremy Irons is the narrator. With the summer tourist season over, we visited on a relatively quiet Wednesday. But even when the abbey is crowded you are never rushed. You’re welcome to explore this intriguing location at your leisure. Situated across from the British Parliament buildings (also called Westminster), the abbey is first and foremost a place of worship. For anyone interested, services are free with evensong held at 5 p.m. daily. I am impressed by how respectful people are as they tour the abbey. No

loud conversation. Visitors talk in whispers and are clearly impressed by what they are seeing. Royal tombs To me, it’s the virtual “who’s who” of royalty, politicians, explorers, inventors, writers and actors interred within the towering church which is most intriguing. Virtually every royal burial during the 500 years between the deaths of King Henry III in 1272 and King George II in 1760 took place in Westminster Abbey. Two notable exceptions are Henry VIII and Charles I (he was executed for high treason in 1649 at age 48), both of whom are entombed in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. I have viewed Henry’s burial vault at Windsor which also contains the remains of his third wife Jane Seymour and the unfortunate Charles I. Most kings and queens since George II are buried in St. George’s Chapel including the parents of the current queen, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

But who else, besides those I have already mentioned, are interred within the walls of Westminster Abbey? Well, the list is a long one with more than 3,000 burials involved. Prominent people buried in the church nave include Clement Attlee, Britain’s labour prime minister from 1945-1951; explorer and medical missionary David Livingstone; and influential physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton. The north transept includes the graves of statesman William Pitt the Elder and his son William Pitt the Younger. Father and son are both past British prime ministers. The church’s south transept is where famous “Poet’s Corner” in located. I mentioned earlier that German-born composer George Frideric Handel was able to purchase a crypt in the abbey. But the area gets its name from the many famous poets entombed there including Thomas Hardy, John Dryden, Robert Browning, Geoffrey Chaucer, Samuel Johnson, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Rudyard Kipling. Other well-known personages entombed in Poet’s Corner include novelist Charles Dickens and more recently actor Laurence Olivier, who died in 1989. To me, the most awe-intriguing location in the abbey is the Henry VII Chapel, one of several separate chapels within the imposing edifice. The main feature is the grave of Elizabeth I. She

shares the tomb with her half-sister and predecessor Queen Mary I. Ironically, an impressive tomb on the opposite aisle contains the remains of Elizabeth’s rival, Mary Queen of Scots. Elizabeth saw her as a threat and had Mary confined for years. In 1586, the unfortunate Mary was tried and found guilty for allegedly plotting to assassinate Elizabeth. The following year, she was beheaded. Of course, Westminster Abbey is also the place where the queens and kings of England and Britain are crowned. In fact, royal coronations have taken place there exclusively since 1066. Dating back to 1100, 16 royal weddings have taken place in the church. As you finish your tour, before exiting through the famous west doors, you can view both the Coronation Chair (in a glass case on the left) and the "Tomb of the Unknown Warrior" which contains the remains of a British soldier killed in Europe during the First World War. The interment took place on Nov. 11, 1920 simultaneous with the reburial of an unknown French First World War casualty at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. There is so much to see in the magnificent, 700-year-old building that it’s impossible to do in one visit. As its own website notes, “The Abbey is a must-see, living pageant of British history.” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

County councillors get first look at 2018 community grant recommendations to buildings (renovation, purchase, etc.) or to provide money for fundraising ventures. There are two types of grants – a project grant, which provides annual funding of up to $10,000 and program grant, which reflects long-term funding, to a maximum of $50,000. Drynan noted that since 2018 is an election year, no program grants are being proposed. As a result of evaluations, the working group recommended seven projects for funding, including: - Food for Thought Lanark County ($5,000 of $9,000 ask) looks to sustain and enhance nutrition programs at county schools by purchasing food for the initiative. - Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit ($6,000 of $10,000 ask), to establish a program that would provide dental treatment services to those who cannot afford it. - Lanark County Public Libraries ($11,058 – full ask), to give residents who don’t have Internet

access at home the option of borrowing Wi-Fi hotspots from each public library. - Lanark County 4-H Association ($2,000 – full ask) to market 4-H throughout the county. - Lanark County Tourism Association ($5,000 of $10,000 ask) for one of two initiatives; establishing a signature experience program and creating a presence at the Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show. - Mills Community Support ($2,500 of $10,000 ask) for its “Get a Grip” Lanark Falls Prevention Project, which would provide boot grippers to county seniors. - Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust ($1,380 – full ask) to purchase road signage to promote the recreational and health benefits of its conservation lands. Several county councillors questioned providing $11,058 to the public libraries for their Internet program. “I’m not sure it’s a good use of $11,000,” admitted Coun. Shaun

McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills Mayor). “I want to now more about this library hotspot stuff. It sounds fuzzy to me.” “It’s for residents who do not have Internet access from home,” confirmed Greaves. “They can borrow the Internet (stick) and use it at home.” McLaughlin still wasn’t convinced of the project, noting “we’ve spent a lot of money to get computers into our libraries.” “Every other grant is either denied or cut back but the libraries get the full amount,” he said. Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) had issues with the health unit and library initiatives, given that municipalities currently fund those organizations. “I wonder if we should be looking at our criteria again, when it comes to the health unit and public libraries,” he said. “Lower tier municipalities give libraries See GRANTS page 17

Seven organizations within Lanark County could be receiving community grants funds in 2018. During the Oct. 11 Lanark County community services committee meeting, clerk/deputy CAO Leslie Drynan provided staff ’s recommendations for the 2018 recipients in the community grants program. She noted that while the 2018 community grants budget is $281,872, reflecting a two per cent increase over 2017, “with funding allocations for program grants being approved for two years (2017 and 2018), this results in a relatively small amount of funds for 2018.” Due to this, $248,934 of the 2018 figure is already committed. This includes $200,000 ($40,000 each) for the five youth centres in Lanark County. Drynan said that left $32,000 for 2018.

A total of 16 organizations made funding requests totaling $157,638. A working group made up of Drynan, CAO Kurt Greaves, children’s services manager Mary Lou White and financial analyst Kevin Wills. Applications were evaluated against the following criteria: If the organization was requesting full program funding; whether the program would go ahead without support; does the program currently exist and has county funding been received in the past; as well as does it currently exist with other funding sources. “The intent of the program is to award grants to projects that have a direct impact on the people of our community or an indirect impact by increasing the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain local projects,” Drynan explained. Categories included human services, agriculture/forestry, arts/heritage/tourism and funds can’t be used to replace program funding, cover deficits or debts, contribute

funding and we (county) give the the health unit $1 million and here we’re going to give them more.” “If someone’s already funded by the municipal government, we shouldn’t be giving them more out of this grant program,” Kidd added. Putting forward a motion to defer the decision until the next county council meeting on Oct. 25, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor) said would allow councillors more time to take a closer look at the recommendations. “I like what I see generally. Staff are representing us really well, but I’m a little bit fuzzy on the library issue as well,” he stated. “…It’s also worthy of one last

look at the criteria.” The current community grants program was adopted by county council in October 2015 to streamline the process. Coun. Brian Campbell (Tay Valley Deputy Reeve) said reviewing the criteria each year second guesses staff ’s recommendations. “We’ve already given staff the direction to do this and then we turn around and go against staff direction. We do it all the time,” he commented. Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands Mayor) and community services committee chair, agreed with Campbell. “This is our second year questioning the recommendations,” he said. It’s expected the matter will be up for discussion again on Oct. 25.

Add to that, 16 memorable rockin’ 50s songs accompanied live by musical director Brad Mills and his merry band of four accomplished local musicians. And voila! You have the recipe for a magical, memorable night: the girls’ senior prom and your evening

ready to surprise and touch you with their stories since high school graduation — and another set of 18 unforgettable classic songs, this time from the 60s. Roger Bean is the creator of this long-running Broadway hit (18 months at the Westside Theatre) along with three popular sequels. The Marvelous Wonderettes received the 2007 LA Ovation Award for Best Musical for the Los Angeles production and it continues to be an audience favourite in regional and amateur theatre companies throughout North America. The 2015 Ottawa production sold out all five performances at the Gladstone Theatre and it is expected that the Perth production will do the same.

Frommer are extremely proud to bring The Marvelous Wonderettes to Perth’s Studio Theatre stage as a fundraiser for YAK. The Wonderettes project follows on IWP’s successful collaboration with Studio Theatre Productions in August 2016, which raised $12,000 for the Jillian O’Connor Family Fund through the production of Canadian playwright Grant Tilly’s musical, Bingo Ladies. Again, there will be a super silent auction, prom dress cookie sale and the return of textile artist Lin Dickson’s original Bags From Bits. Lin has added gorgeous Muskoka mitts to her product line and you have to see them to believe them — fabulous Christmas, Hanukkah or one-of-a-kind gifts for any occasion. YAK is Perth’s own spectacularly innovative youth centre, offering a free after school program for youth aged 10-18 from 3-7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Activities are planned to suit a wide range of abilities and interests, with an emphasis on personal growth, physical activity, healthy eating, teamwork and fun. YAK staff works — and plays — hard to ensure that programs are inclusive and fun, and that every youth who comes through the door feels safe, welcome and respected. To learn more about YAK or the fall/winter programs, call 613264-8381, visit at www.yakyouth. ca or check out the Facebook page at YAK Youth Services. Five performances of The Marvelous Wonderettes, starting Thursday, Nov. 2, means there are fewer than a thousand seats available to see this limited run, not-to-be-missed production. You may very well want to come back again before it closes on Nov. 5. The three evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, 3 and 4, while two matinee shows start at 2 p.m. on Nov. 4 and 5. Tickets are available at www. ticketsplease.ca at $30, general admission, and $20 for students. Opening night is $5 off and there are group rates available for all other shows. If you graduated in 1958, you are eligible for a free ticket! Here’s what you need to do: 1) Buy your tickets now! 2) Don’t be shy. Consider dressing up in prom gear when you come to the theatre. 3) Bring along a few toonies (or indie women two productions will take paper money too!) for treats and YAK donations. 4) Make your way to Perth’s Studio Theatre for the performance(s) of your choice, and, 5) Have the time of your life! A marvelous evening with the Wonderettes is guaranteed. Submitted by indie two women productions

These car owners should set a budget on how many more repairs to put into their ride “Hi Brian, I have neighbours that are having terrible car problems. It keeps stalling, wait a second or two and it starts again; away you go for goodness only knows for how long. They’ve been to two local dealerships and called another for advice, but nothing works. These neighbours are not wealthy and have health issues galore, with many medical appointments and a very unsafe car. Hope you can help. It's a 2002 Nissan Sentra. A new fuel pump, new crank sensor and an oxygen sensor have been installed. It's a nice little car with only 158,000 kilometres on it. Any help would be appreciated.” Thanks, Jack I checked my sources and there is no single common system or part that might cause this problem. With the age of this vehicle, it could be anything from a mass airflow sensor to an engine computer to any number of wiring issues. Reading between the lines, it

sounds like this is an intermittent issue that leaves very few clues as to its cause (e.g. computer diagnostic trouble codes). I certainly wouldn't suggest throwing any more parts at it until the failure can be verified by a technician. They should make arrangements to leave it at either a dealer or a reputable independent shop long enough for their staff to drive it until it stalls (this may take several days). It would be best to choose the facility that has the most experience with them and their Sentra. Running to different shops to sort this out will only guarantee wasted spending. This is about the only way to reduce the amount of unsuccessful trials. Note that I said reduce, not eliminate. With its age and mileage, it’s entirely possible that this little car has more than one problem. They should speak with the shop manager up front and explain their situation and bring all the relevant repair invoice copies with them. The big problem is that this vehicle

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

is worth less than $2,000 wholesale at best and based on just these few repairs alone, they’ve probably spent half of that already. They should set a firm spending limit with the shop for diagnostics and if the problem can't be found with certainty within that limit, then they need to consider their alternatives, such as replacing this vehicle. “Greetings Brian, I noticed the oil pressure gauge on my 2005 Chevrolet Blazer drops from about 300 (assuming psi) to 275 after changing the oil and filter every six months. Is that increase due to the old filter getting clogged? Would that be a good indication that an oil and filter

change is due?” Thanks SV Thanks for the question. The oil pressure reading you’re seeing on your Chev’s instrument panel is actually 30 psi and 27.5 psi not 300 or 275. It will usually read higher on cold starts when the colder oil exerts more pressure on the sensor along with the elevated idle speed. When the engine warms up and the idle drops, the pressure reading will also be lower. When you're stopped in drive with your foot on the brake, the load of the transmission will lower the idle speed even more, thus lowering the pressure reading. On a good engine, this can range from 20-80 psi. With age, the port on the sensor that allows oil to enter it for a reading can become restricted due to deposits and this will make it inaccurate. That’s why most techs will install a new sensor before doing any further diagnostics on an engine with low oil pressure readings unless other symptoms (such as top end en-

gine noises) are present. A dirty oil filter shouldn't affect the operating pressure, unless it’s almost clogged. It has a pressure relief valve that will bypass the filter if a sufficient amount of oil can't flow through it. Never use the pressure reading to determine when to change the oil and filter but rather the owner's manual. Depending on time and distance travelled you may need to change it more often or less than twice a year. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive, please drop me a line (by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Classic Theatre Festival honoured with five Capital Critics Circle Awards nominations Some of Canada’s top theatre reviewers have honoured the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth with a record-breaking five awards nominations in the professional theatre category for the 2017 Capital Critics Circle Awards, which will be announced at a special ceremony in Ottawa Nov. 13. The five nominations cover all three mainstage shows that ran during the festival’s summer season, which once again drew thousands of tourists to Perth, many of whom also took in the highlyregarded theatrical walking plays that now run seven times a week throughout the summer. The festival’s staging of George Bernard Shaw’s Candida, directed by Laurel Smith, picked up nods for Best Production, Best Direction, and Best Actor for William Vickers in his performance as Mr. Burgess. (The festival’s 2016 production of a Shaw show, Arms and the Man, was similarly nominated in the same categories, with Lana Sugarman winning as best female actor, while Vickers was also nominated two years ago for his role in Neil Simon’s I Ought to Be in Pictures.) Sugarman picked up her second consecutive Best Actor nomination for this year’s beloved production of Canadian Bernard Slade’s

After winning a best actor award in 2016, Lana Sugarman has again received a best actor nomination with the Capital Critics Circle Awards for her role in the Bernard Slade comedy Same Time, Next Year, one of five award nominations for this year’s Classic Theatre Festival.

timeless Same Time, Next Year, while Ottawa’s Roger Schultz was nominated for his set design in another Canadian playwright’s mystery thriller, Peter Colley’s I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. Upon hearing the news, Sugarman thanked her director, Laurel Smith, for “guiding me to do my strongest work in some incredible roles,” as well as “my magical coactor, Scott Clarkson. You can't get a Best Actress nomination in a two-hander without the best partner up there with ya!” For artistic producer Laurel Smith, the critical attention being paid to the Classic Theatre Festival is “a tribute to the remarkable talent that puts these plays on every summer. We are so privileged to host some of this country’s finest talent both onstage and behind

the scenes, and I really believe these award nominations speak to the team effort that is required to put on the shows, whether it is stage management, lighting design, costume design, set design, the front of house folks who do such a great job making our guests feel welcome and at home, and the young people in our theatre training program who are at the forefront of what it means to be a Perth ambassador.” Smith also extended congratulations to other award nominees, including numerous National Arts Centre shows, and said that while she looks forward to the Ottawa party, she’s also busy planning the 2018 summer season which, in addition to three golden age of Broadway and the London stage classics, will also include a brand new morning walking play, a new ghost walk, and a mystery show surprise that will be announced in December. Advance Super Savings Flex Passes are now on sale for the 2018 summer season, which give guests a 25 per cent discount and the flexibility to pick their dates next year. Those are now available at www. classictheatre.ca or 1-877-2831283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

Local musician Brad Sucks releases vinyl record of best hits BY PAULINA HREBACKA

phrebacka@metroland.com

Did you know there’s an internationally famous musician living among us in North Grenville? His name is Brad Turcotte, and despite what he calls himself, he really doesn’t suck. Turcotte just released his first vinyl record, a compilation of some of his most popular songs from his three albums, titled Better than Nothing. His music has been described as “brilliantly sardonic” and “self-deprecating indie pop-rock, with the occasional dance track.” The official vinyl release show will be held at Irene’s Pub in Ottawa on Nov. 17. Turcotte grew up in Kemptville after moving to town from Ottawa in the first grade. “I was always super into music and interested in making my own,” he said. “The first time I tried to write a song, it was some stupid thing on guitar when I was nine. I was taking classical guitar lessons from my neighbour. I remember not doing the exercises that she gave me, and instead being like, ‘I wrote a song!’ It was not a very good song.” Turcotte went to high school at St. Mark’s in Manotick, but was bullied to the point that he dropped out after one year. “I basically spent the next 10 years on the Internet, in my parents’ basement.” Technology plays a crucial role in Turcotte’s creative process, as the music on his first three albums was written, recorded, and produced entirely by him with the help of music

Local musician Brad Turcotte (Brad Sucks) has just released his first vinyl record, a compilation of best hits from his first three albums, titled Better than Nothing. The official vinyl release show will be held at Irene’s Pub in Ottawa on Nov. 17. sequencing computer programs. “I got my first computer when I was 10 and learned about these programs called trackers. I would create patterns by plugging in notes, like filling out an Excel spreadsheet. The notes I entered would trigger different sounds, and then the program would play it back in succession. I got really into filling it out, so I would do that for fun. Eventually, I wanted to add guitar to it, and then vocals.”

At the time, Turcotte was into bands like Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and Skinny Puppy - bands that consisted of one or two people who were writing, recording and producing all their own music. “I thought maybe that was doable. I was like, ‘well, why couldn’t I do that?’” Turcotte initially used a program called Impulse Tracker, then switched to Steinberg’s Cubase when he started recording vocals and guitar. He cur-

rently uses Ableton Live for song writing and live performances and Reaper for mixing and mastering. “The came together around the year of 2000, when MP3s came about and distribution started shifting to the Internet. I had a nerdy background and was really good with computers, so I kind of had a leg up in making everything happen.” Turcotte’s computer and music worlds have always coexisted. In the early days of the Internet, he promoted his music via Napster, Myspace and blogs. These days, he primarily uses Facebook and his mailing list, as well as Pandora and Spotify regularly placing his songs in playlists which get streamed at restaurants and clubs around the world. “Early on, I realized that all I had to do to get a song out there was create the music, render it out, put it into an MP3, and then put it online and try to get enough attention for it, and hope that people will like it enough to share it. That was it.” Turcotte’s first album, I Don’t Know What I’m Doing, was released in 2003. The first track, Making Me Nervous, has received over three million listens on Spotify. His second album, Out of It, was released in 2008, followed by Guess Who’s a Mess in 2012. The creative process Turcotte has employed a unique strategy of coming up with titles for his songs and albums. He asked his partner to tell him when she hears him say something repeatedly, like a catch

Local musician Brad Sucks’ first-ever vinyl record, Better than Nothing, is a compilation of best hits from his first three albums. His upcoming vinyl release show is set for Nov. 17 at Irene’s Pub in Ottawa. The new record was hand-pressed on stunning orange to red gradient coloured vinyl and features 11 of Brad Sucks’ most popular songs, selected by fans via online voting sessions.

phrase, and then he writes them down. “’Making me nervous’ was something I used to say all the time, that I can’t say ever again, because I sound like I’m quoting myself. ‘Better than nothing’ was another one. It just really fits the mood I think, about how I feel about my career. I’m like, ‘well at least I didn’t do nothing, right? I made three albums … I could have done nothing for the last 12 years…’” Over the years, Turcotte has refined his song writing process, but he still runs into issues with procrastination. “I procrastinate constantly, because there’s a lot of uncertainty. If I ever get to the point where I can go in three different directions with a song, I have a hard time knowing what the right direction is.” With a lot of good pop songs, less is often more. Turcotte has found that his most popular songs tend to be the simplest and most pop-driven. “Technically, they aren’t the best songs, but that’s the way it is with a lot of the songs I love. I find it a little schmaltzy when songs are too pleasing. Sometimes they rub me the wrong way.” Learning to play with others During the creation of his first three albums, Turcotte’s solo writing process required his computer to do

some things that bandmates may not have been so willing to do. “My computer would play one section of the song over and over until I thought of the next guitar or vocal bit that I wanted to add. Nobody wants to play the same thing repeatedly while you figure out your lyrics.” Back then, Turcotte didn’t know any other musicians in the area, so this was his only option. Throughout his career, however, he’s gained ample experience playing with other local musicians; Ben Mullin, Steve Gaw and Justin Purvis have regularly played in Brad Sucks over the past 10 years. “They’re better than me,” Turcotte says. “The next album will have more of a collaborative element to it, unless I freak out.” Turcotte plans to record his fourth album with the band, which he hopes will bring a new sound to the table, but he still wrestles with solo writing and recording habits. “I’m used to being in control of everything, and I find it hard to be a perfectionist around other people. Perfectionism makes you mean.” When Turcotte produced his first three albums alone, he could be hard on himself at times, but there was no risk of offending anyone else with his perfectionism. Just the same, he remembers how lonely it was, and how he only had himself to blame if something failed. “I think I’m just a little broken

in that area, where I have a hard time constructively turning down other people, or telling them to do the thing I came up with instead of whatever they want to do.” Moving forward, Turcotte is taking more of a directorial approach to playing and recording with a full band. “I’ve been thinking about how to employ others to service my own stuff, more like a director. I respect what it takes to play well, but I think I’ve had to separate myself from it by saying, ‘well I’m not that. I’m more of a director, who can’t necessarily do what the actors can do.” Turcotte sees the release of Better than Nothing as a marker for where his career transitions from solo to collaborative. “It represents my trilogy of ‘completely alone’ records, and maybe now I can do stuff with other people, like a normal person.” The new Better than Nothing records were hand-pressed on stunning orange to red gradient coloured vinyl. They feature eleven of Brad Sucks’ most popular songs, which were selected via online voting sessions with his fans.

Canada 150 medals presented to Leeds and Grenville champions BY TIM RUHNKE

truhnke@metroland.com

The Brockville Arts Centre was filled with national and community pride. Canada 150 medals commissioned by MP Gord Brown and MPP Steve Clark were presented during a special ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 11. The Leeds and Grenville area awards program was announced this spring. Most of the 152 medal recipients were nominated from the community; each of the 13 municipalities in the area selected an honouree. Brown noted that the federal government, "for some reason," did not commission a commemorative medal program to mark Canada 150 as had been the case with the Centennial in 1967 and the 125th in 1992. In recalling when he and Clark discussed the subject of medals earlier this year, Brown commented that "it only took us about a minute" to decide to move forward with a local recognition program. The stories of the Canada 150 medal recipients are heart-warming and inspiring, according to the MP. From community project and charity fundraisers and local historians to people who help senior citizens and others in time of need or students who want to improve the world in which they live, the recipients represent a range of interests and come from every section of the united counties area. Clark observed that he and Brown

Literary Follies celebrates 15th anniversary Oct. 22 Fall Roundup celebration Oct. 21 in Pierce’s Corners The Literary Follies, a whimsical blend of the musical and the literary, is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 22 and will feature three well-known guest authors who will focus largely on Canadiana. This year’s event, the 15th anniversary according to the Friends of the North Grenville Public Library, is slated to take place at the Grenville Mutual building in the Colonnade mall. Author J. William Galbraith will highlight the career of John Buchan, best known for penning thrillers such as The Thirty-Nine Steps which was adapted into a Hitchcock movie. Many will recall that the Kemptville Players presented an adaptation of this popular novel a few years ago. What many may have forgotten is that he was also Lord Tweedsmuir, Canada’s fifteenth Governor General from 1935 to 1940. He worked tirelessly for Canadian unity and promoted the sovereignty of Canada. In 1937, he founded the Governor General’s Awards. Two other authors on the program are Victor Suthren who will discuss "Captain Cook in Canada: from Louisbourg to Nootka" and Dan Black who will share his book, Child Sol-

Hey, dad! For the best little country hall celebration yet, bring mom and the kids out to Pierce’s Corners, just west of North Gower, Saturday, Oct. 21, and settle in for a day of food, music and activities at the Fall Roundup. Start the day with breakfast inside; the Rideau Snowmobile Club always puts on a great spread. Then step outside and first take in the goods of garden market vendors — honey, soaps, wood carving, knitting — plus lots more. Why not let mom browse there awhile, and you and the kids can head on to see, and pet, miniature horses and donkeys. Out in the fields, be amazed by the extraordinary schutzhund dogs, the caring and calm guide dogs and take a horse-drawn hay ride before heading to Weiner’s food cart for fresh cut fries and hotdogs. Now it’s dad’s turn to

sit while mom takes on the kids. So sit back, dad, and slow down at the beer tent while listening to Country Seven. (And, if you want to participate at open mike, now’s your chance!) Because it’s mid-fall, come prepared for the weather; dress in layers, wear comfortable shoes, brings lots of bags to carry home your goodies. And if, by chance, you haven’t bought a Halloween pumpkin, now’s the time. Just as you’re leaving choose a big one or little, orange or white — one for everyone in the family. Find the Marlborough Community Recreation Association (Pierce’s Corners Hall) at 3048 Pierce Rd. (corner of Malakoff and Pierce). Elaine Watters, chair of the MCRA, can be reached at 613-4893694 for more information. If she’s not there, call Nancy Grundy at 613-4893136.

There will be five presentations in total. Pictured: Shulamit Ber Levtov (left), the keynote speaker, will talk about stress relief and management.

Ber Levtov, who will talk about stress resilience. “What I want women most to know about their reactions to stress is that it's not their fault,” Levtov said. “When the demands on us exceed our capacity to respond, it's normal to struggle emotionally and to experience negative health effects. It isn’t fun, but it’s

normal. These experiences are like the dashboard warning lights on a car — they're telling us to pay attention. In my presentation, I'll be helping women identify their warning lights and empowering them with intervention strategies so they can feel good and respond effectively when the crap hits the fan.”

Levtov’s presentation will begin at 8:15 p.m. The Women’s Health & Wellness Seminar is open to the public and free to attend. To register, please call Mary Boucher, senior manager of community engagement with the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation, at 613-2580-6133 ext. 157.

MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH GRENVILLE NOTICE OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE AND PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING THE FIVE YEAR REVIEW OF NORTH GRENVILLE’S OFFICIAL PLAN TAKE NOTICE that the Corporation of the Municipality of North Grenville will hold a public open house on Monday, November 13th, 2017 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the North Grenville Municipal Centre (285 County Road 44), AND TAKE NOTICE that the Corporation of the Municipality of North Grenville will hold a public meeting on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20th, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at the North Grenville Municipal Centre (285 County Road 44) To consider the repeal and replacement of the Municipality of North Grenville’s current Official Plan. The purpose and effect of the public open house is to present the draft Official Plan to the public and provide an opportunity for the public to review and ask questions about the draft Official Plan. The purpose and effect of the public meeting is to present the draft Official Plan to the Committee of the Whole for their recommendation regarding adoption to Council and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Please note the Municipality of North Grenville originally planned to update its Official Plan through an amendment under Section 26(1) of the Planning Act. During the course of its review, it has become apparent that a repeal and replace is required. The work that had been completed from 2014 to present, including PlaceSpeak consultations, a special meeting of Council and staff attendance at community events has provided valuable information and refined the draft text and schedules as a result.

Put a composter in your backyard or use your green bin to reduce household waste. Composting organics has two key benefits: it reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and when added to your garden, helps nourish soil and plants.

Focus should be on addiction prevention

felt relieved when I heard that the first supervised injection site had opened in Ottawa on Sept. 26, because I’d just written a long report on the opioid crisis in Canada as part of my college course, and I knew the statistics on opioid prescription, addiction, overdose and overdose death all too well (currently, eight people in Canada die every day on average from opioid overdose). I thought it was reassuring that our health minister at the time, and former family doctor, Jane Philpott, recognized the importance in treating those who many would consider damaged past the point of repair. I knew that addicts will always find a way to get the drugs that they need, and usually through crime such as theft and prostitution. I knew that in most cases, these people would resort to cheap, dirty drugs on the street. I believed that these people needed a safe place to go, where they could be free of judgment and have access to a support system, where they’d be supervised while doing what we already know they are going to keep doing, while being provided with properly portioned and clean drugs. Prohibition never worked. I still feel, think, know, and believe all of the above, but I’ve come to the realization that our former health minister’s approach to this public health epidemic only targeted those on the brink of overdose, who’ve long been addicted to opioids. Therefore, her ef-

PAULINA HREBACKA FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE NEWSROOM forts to support safe injection sites, legalize pharmaceutical heroin and make naloxone (the overdose-reversing nasal spray) widely available, were last-resort, temporary solutions intended to slow down the rapidly increasing number of opioid-related deaths. In 2016, Canada saw more than 2,800 of them. Is this the kind of solution that we want, or better yet, need, to a health crisis that politicians seem to enjoy calling a “health crisis” although they haven’t declared it a public health emergency yet? I’m not trying to say that supervised injection sites, the legalization of pharmaceutical heroin or naloxone kits are not needed – I firmly believe that they are, but they are only a part of the solution. We should be approaching this multi-faceted issue at all of its stages – not just offering merely palliative solutions. Philpott’s temporary solutions focused on overdose prevention – not addiction prevention. We need to work to reduce the growing rate of addiction in Canada, not just the growing rate of overdose and overdose deaths.

Saying goodbye to the farm animals is harder than I thought

he drover was due at the gate right around the time I had to head out to pick up our homestay student. I was walking to the car when I noticed the Farmer circling on his ATV, trying frantically to get the cattle out of the pasture and into the barn. Sighing, I pulled on my barn shoes and rushed out to help. I stuffed a couple apples in my pocket before leaving the house. Once outside, I noticed Mocha had spotted the gate left open for the drover. She was skipping across the tractor ruts, ever so gratefully, in an attempt to escape without notice through that portal to freedom. A fragrant apple tree stands on the other side. Her favourite. I managed to get past her just as the ATV rounded the corner. The next trick would be to get her back inside the farm gate without letting anyone else out. The rest of the herd had caught on to her plan and were milling about the fence, mooing encouragement and protest. Then I remembered the apple in my pocket: a sure way to get Mocha to follow you to the

ends of the earth. Next, we had to get the bull in the barn. It was his turn to head onward to his next posting. He would be taken to market to be bought by another farmer. He would soon be king of another herd. The Farmer tried in vain to push the entire herd through the narrow cattle chute. That wasn’t happening. Eventually he gave up and pushed them through the fence at the side of the barn, hoping they would notice the fresh hay bale he had placed inside the barn. They did. Problem solved. Next, he hopped off the ATV and onto the tractor to lift a heavy iron gate into the opening. We no longer have a sliding barn door there, as the bull used it for a head butting toy last year. I ran back to the house, jumped

in the car and set off to pick up our girl. When I returned, the drover truck was just leaving. It was an Irish goodbye. The cattle stood and stared at the truck as it rattled across the tractor ruts, down the lane and out of their lives. Then one by one, the cows headed back out to pasture. I wonder what they are thinking? Their bull is gone. Their calves are gone. You can tell me they are simple animals and they aren’t thinking anything, but I know better. I have seen cows expressing frustration, sorrow, contentment and delight. You can’t tell me they don’t feel something when big changes happen in their limited lives. We try to make them as happy and comfortable as possible while they are here. That is our role. Soon another truck will arrive. The cattle will gather at the gate when they hear it rounding the corner. They know the rattle of a cattle truck means either the arrival or the exit of another animal. Soon it will be their turn, to go off to their new farm. We trust their new farmer will treat them

with respect and consideration too. And to whoever buys our bull at market, please take note. He may be built like a small snowplow, but he has a very gentle spirit. When the drover arrived to collect him, he did just as he had when we first bought him. He followed the gentle hand bearing sweetfeed and hopped up into the back of the truck with very little convincing. He will eat apples out of your hand, with a bite more gentle than a pup’s. Of course we always kept a farm implement or fence between us and the bull, out of respect for his basic instincts to butt with his head. We also gave him

plenty of room during mating or calving season, as he took his job very seriously. He is a good bull. We called him Dono, as printed on his ear tag, because he came from the Donoghue farm. Please leave him some heavy objects that he is allowed to push around the barnyard; he loves that. A fallen tree trunk or rusted out old plough will do. If you treat him well, he will serve you well. And as for us, we will wait to see what happens next on the farm, without animals. Email: dianafisher1@gmail. com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

Taking a look at what’s ‘relative’ about relative humidity BY DON MERCER

As Canadians, one of our national pastimes seems to be complaining about the weather. We often hear the phrase “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity” repeated during the summer months. Weather forecasters may tell us that the temperature is 28 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity is 85 per cent. In response to this, we probably roll our eyes, resigning ourselves to the fact that working outdoors will be extremely uncomfortable. Just to confirm our suspicions, the meteorologists then go on to say that these conditions will make it feel closer to 40 degrees Celsius. Many of us have digital thermometers with an attached electronic hygrometer that tells us the relative humidity of the air. In the accompanying photograph, the thermometer-hygrometer combination on the left shows the conditions mentioned previously and indicates the situation would feel “wet”. When I prepared this article, the temperature was 24 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity was 39 per cent, as shown by the unit on the right-hand side of the photograph. This created a “dry” situation which was rather pleasant, as far as I was concerned. Now, to the point of all this. Even though we use relative humidity values in our everyday conversations, do we really understand what the term means? To what is the humidity actually relative? To answer these questions, we need to consider a mixture of air and water vapour. The definition of relative humidity is the amount of water contained in the air divided by the amount of water that the air is capable of holding at that temperature, times 100 per cent. As air is heated, its ability to hold moisture increases. At 24 degrees Celsius, one kilogram of dry air can hold about 19 grams of water before it becomes saturated and can hold no more water vapour. If the air in our room has a relative humidity of 39 per cent, it contains less than half of the moisture that it could possibly hold at that temperature. This works out just over seven grams of water per kilogram of dry air. Don’t worry about the kilograms of dry air part, that’s just a way of keeping all the values on a consistent basis so that they can be compared to

The previous public meeting had considered a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment that would have re-zoned the property to the Residential Type 2 Zone (R2) in order to permit the proposed semi-detached dwellings. Current Development Proposal The applicant has subsequently modified the original development proposal, and is now proposing to sever two lots on Charlotte Street, one for the existing single-detached dwelling and one for a proposed semi-detached dwelling (2 units). Future consent and/or KEY MAP plan of subdivision applications are to be filed for the development of the balance of the applicant’s property.

CORRECTION NOTICE

Revised Zoning By-law Amendment The revised Zoning By-law Amendment would: • retain the existing Residential Type 1 Zone (R1) on the proposed single-detached lot; • re-zone the proposed semi-detached lot to the Residential Type 2 Zone (R2) in order to permit a semi-detached dwelling; and •

re-zone the balance of the property to the Residential Type 2 Zone holding (R2h-1) where the “holding zone” would be lifted to permit additional semi-detached dwellings once the Village is satisfied that all of its development approval conditions are met.

David John

John Albert Fowler succumbed to the ravages of dementia, quietly at home on Thursday, October 12, 2017. John lived a good life with strong family ties, honest friendships, and an unbendable work ethic. He will be sorely missed by Nancy, Shawn, & Tracy, and her family Kevin, Tristan, Brody, Leighton & Riley, along with Susan and Ken, Jordana & Justin. The large extended family of Singbush’s, Maxwell’s and the Mulligan clan will have great stories of wonderful times. Friends gathered over a lifetime in Mississauga, Waterloo, Sudbury, Georgetown, Port Bruce, Toronto, Vydon Acres, Ottawa and Arnprior can attest to John’s strength of character. John was involved in many innovative banking changes over his thirty-seven years in the financial industry with CIBC. Colleagues span North America and Europe. This disease was a crushing blow, but the support of family, friends and generous neighbours along with the professional care providers helped John and his family immensely. The Dementia Society of Ottawa & Renfrew County, particularly Milton & Caitlin were gentle pillars of knowledge and strength. Dr. Andrew Frank with his staff; Dr. Michael Fishman, caring to the end; the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital staff; the LIHN (CCAC); St. Elizabeth Home Health Care and Bayshore Healthcare were invaluable during this very difficult journey. Our genuine thanks to everyone. John will be interred in the historic Beaverton Stone Church Cemetery in a private service.

Marilyn would like to let you know that her work here is done. She got called to the office by the head Principal. This new teaching assignment comes with huge perks, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new posting will seem like a permanent recess at a wonderful place where she will be socializing, having the occasional cold glass of wine, knitting, and reading to her heart’s content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. She left a clear syllabus for all her loved ones to follow the lessons that she left behind for all of us. Eat the cake. Drink the wine. Spend time with family and friends. And travel every chance you get, preferably in a little green cricket. Mom will be attending a staff meeting with some of her favorites, her father Bert, mom Naureen and step-mom Ena. Her son Peter, (who we all knew was the &%& favorite), her loved daughter Lisa, her first husband Pete and her beloved soul-mate Barney. She is survived by her two beloved daughters Deborah (Michael) and Yvonne (Kenneth). She is also survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren: Alex (Una), Nick, Darryl (Jessie), Taylor, Caitlyn, Andi, Joscelyne, Krissy, Shalagh, Conner and Wylie. Please share this with anyone you may know that has had their lives touched by Mom as a teacher, mentor or friend. There will be a celebration of her wonderful life held in Smiths Falls in the Spring of 2018. Details will be posted on her Facebook account as well as in the Record News.

OBITUARY

MARGETTS Ted

Also known as Victor Edward James or “Teddy,” it truly did depend on how well you knew him. Ted was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital and later joked that he just walked across the street and went to work at the Experimental Farm where he spent 28 years. He always said that if you get a job you love you never work a day in your life. His love of trees, nature, and his curiosity were a perfect combination for his years at the farm. Before his career in Civil Service he was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy. His favorite memory from this time was flying back from Halifax with the Prime Minister. Ted was previously deceased by his parents Victor and Eunice Margetts, and his high school sweetheart and wife of 53 years, Lillian (Blair). He is survived by his brother Stephen (Marlene) and many lifelong friends. He would frequently reminisce about his times getting into mischief on the streets of Kemptville with these same friends. Some of these stories have become local legends. Ted enjoyed spending time camping, fishing, and keeping his bees. He loved spending time with his girls Vicky-Lynn (Trent) and Kelly-Anne (Chad). He instilled into his girls to always be kinder, more generous, and more gracious than you need to be; you never know what somebody else is going through. The amazing memories of camping trips, weekends on the island, Christmas mornings, and laughs around the kitchen table provided a template for the girls to aspire to with their own families. He was Grandad to Tereck, McKenna, and Kade. They worshipped him just as he worshipped them. He taught them all golf, archery, how to swim, and how to build bird houses. Often, these lessons would mean the destruction of their Grandma’s amazing flower gardens, clean clothes on the line or, once, the solar panels. He and his grandkids always had great adventures. He will be missed on his annual hunting trips to Algonquin Park with Pryce Apedaile. Ted will be terribly missed by his sister-in-law Joan (Keith), his nieces and nephews, and his companion Mrs. L. Render. Our daily conversations will be missed. We will now have to rely on Google when we need to research something because our guru on everything no longer takes phone calls. Your witty jokes and exceptional bear hugs will be greatly missed. We love you Dad, Grandad. You will be forever missed. (By request of our Dad there will be no service.)

JOYNT, Pam October 22, 2002 You were a blessing, Your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. HUGS! Love Tara xo And Mom xo

MCPARLAND August 10, 1954 – October 20, 2016 Keith it’s only been 1 year, but I remember the day I met you, and the day that God made you mine. I also remember the day God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made vows together until death do us part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Memories of happy years when we were together; the joy’s; the tears; the love and the fears will always stay with me. When I’m sad; lonely and everything seems to go wrong, I hear you whisper “Cheer up Ann and carry on”! Missing and remembering you everyday Love your wife, Ann

Time hasn’t changed how much I love you, Shell Dad and “Gramps” May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Chan’s powerful performance packs a punch in 'The Foreigner' MOVIE: The Foreigner STARRING: Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy and Orla Brady DIRECTOR: Martin Campbell RATING: 14A Jackie Chan has delivered so many great films. His unique brand of highenergy martial arts and comedic talent have made him a legend. He's made so many action-comedies, I've taken it for granted that that's all he does. The Foreigner is an eye-opener. On a normal day in London, Quan Ngoc Minh (Jackie Chan) takes his daughter, Fan (Katie Leung), to buy a dress. She runs to the store while he parks the car. An explosion sends Quan through the air. Fan is killed instantly. Heartbroken, Quan is desperate to know the names of those responsible. He lost his wife and two other daughters many years ago. Fan was all he had left, and Quan cannot let her go until he knows justice has been done. When the police can't give him the names, Quan takes matters into his own hands. The IRA claimed responsibility for the bombing. This leads Quan to question Irish minister and former IRA member Liam Hennessy (Pierce Brosnan). Hennessy says he's just a politician, and doesn't know anything. Quan doesn't believe him, but Hennessy brushes him off as just a harmless grieving old man. Quan was once special forces and considered one of the most deadly people on the planet. He begins going after Hennessy to force him to give up the names. Meanwhile the bombers continue to plan their campaign of terror. Hennessy is in the middle trying to play both sides to get what he wants, but events slip out of his control. Quan will not be placated until he has the names.

My Take

MARK HASKINS

I was talking to a friend who said Netflix has ruined movies for him. How can a movie compete with a series like Breaking Bad in terms of depth of story and character? While there's some truth there, I believe there's real art in connecting with an audience and drawing them in inside the medium of film. The Foreigner is a perfect example. We don't see Fan for very long. It's a brief scene between Leung and Chan, and yet it sets up the whole film. With those few lines and that short interaction, we understand his love for her and his pain. The film moves slowly and methodically in the same way that Quan pressures Hennessy for the names. As Hennessy becomes more frustrated by his men's inability to deal with Quan, more truths are revealed. It creates a constant tension that runs through the film until the whole truth is revealed. Intelligent, driven and ruthless, Hennessy believes himself to be a man in control. When he realizes just how little control he has, it's devastating. Brosnan is so good in every aspect of the character. We're all used to Jackie Chan throwing punches and making jokes, but to see him in this role is mind blowing. His performance is emotional and powerful. It's the performance of a career. The Foreigner is a brilliant film. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

HELMETS

North Grenville Municipal Centre, with some exceptions. The department sees this new policy as reducing the risk of injury, and reducing the municipality’s risk as it relates to liability.” In terms of exceptions to the policy, Guy explained that figure skaters who belong to a separate organization are regulated by their coaches and instructors on the ice. “Although we have skate patrol staff at public skating events, they are not regulated by any type of organization,” he stated. “Our skate patrollers do a good job of patrolling the public skating, but there have been minor incidents and this is a way to protect the individual and protect the municipality.” Guy also mentioned that the municipality offers a free helmet lending program, and that no one would be expected to purchase
