What’s the difference between a graveyard and cemetery? The answer was just one of the fascinating tidbits offered up at the third annual Haunted Heritage, which was hosted by the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum on Oct. 15. “A graveyard is around a church and a cemetery is on the edge of town,” Steven Robert Morrison said. Morrison, a tarot, palmistry and face reader from Ottawa, was one of the evening’s speakers. Joining him was local storyteller resident Linda Seccaspina, museum curator Jennifer Irwin and funeral director Emma Drummond. Talking about mourning rituals of the past, “mourning means to display the conventional signs of grief,” Irwin said, “and samples of mourning include wearing symbolic colours, draping of buildings and flying flags at half-staff.” In the home where a death took place, certain things would traditionally be done. For example, curtains would be drawn and clocks would be stopped at the time of death. “Mirrors were covered with crape or veiling to prevent the deceased’s spirit from getting trapped in the looking glass,” Irwin said, “and a wreath of boxwood tied with black ribbons was hung on the front door to alert passersby that a death had occurred.” She noted the body was watched over every minute until burial, “hence the custom of waking.” The wake also served as a safeguard from burying someone who was not dead. Most wakes also lasted 3-4 days to allow relatives to arrive from far away. “We used candles and flowers for atmosphere but also to take away the smell of a dead body,” Irwin said. In the 19th century Europe and America the dead were carried out of the house feet first, in order to prevent the spirit from looking back into the house and bring people with him or her. Too, family photographs were also sometimes turned facedown to prevent any of the close relatives and friends of the deceased from being possessed by the spirit of the dead.

The third annual Haunted Heritage, hosted by the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, was held on Oct. 15. In addition to attending a mock funeral, guests heard about death, burial and mourning rituals of the past. Getting into the ‘spirit’, from left: speakers Linda Seccaspina and Steven Robert Morrison, Carleton Place Coun. Sean Redmond, the municipal representative on the town’s heritage committee, and museum curator Jennifer Irwin. Mourning clothes were a family’s outward display of their inner feelings, and the rules for who wore what and for how long were complicated. “The traditional mourning time for women was four years, and if you didn’t do that you were considered disrespectful,” Irwin said. “The deepest mourning phase lasted one year and a day,” she continued, which was followed by phases of half mourning to slight mourning. For deepest mourning, clothes were to be black, symbolic of spiritual darkness. “No hats or jewelry were allowed, but veiled bonnets were acceptable,” Irwin said. Little touches of grey and white were added during the half mourning phase, and women could start to wear jewelry. Pearls, for example. “Lavender was introduced during slight mourning,” Irwin said. Drummond, 21, is from Carleton

Place, and she is the eldest grandchild of locals Wayne and Lorna Drummond. Working towards her class one funeral director license, she is currently with Cole Funeral Services. “Some people think it’s crazy, but it is the most rewarding and gratifying thing I could have ever chosen to do.” Why did she get into the profession? “All of my role models in my family have all chosen to make helping people their main career choice,” Drummond said. “We have firefighters, police officers, paramedics, dental assistants and nurses.” “Of course, grandma was an X-ray technician,” she added. Although the funeral director profession has changed a lot over time, one thing has remained the same. “Our job is to make sure we give you the most dignified experience that we can for the person you need to say goodbye to,” Drummond said, “and it’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.” Seccaspina told a few stories, including the tale of young Margaret Violet King. In July 1937 the six-year-old nearly drowned in the Mississippi River

down by the hydro plant. Two men, Lionel and Wilfred Bigras, saved her. In a sad twist, a decade later, in August 1937, the river took the life of the poor swimmer. Morrison spoke on a few issues, including the many symbols found on gravestones: flowers, objects, body parts, lettering, etc. The hourglass on its side, for example, indicates that time has stopped for the deceased; the broken flower or tree, that life has been cut short. “An arch symbolizes a triumphant entry into heaven or victory over death,” Morrison said, “and a lamb is a symbol of innocence, used primarily on an infant’s or a child’s gravestone.” “As they were professionals, a doctor, banker, dentist, lawyer, etc. would have either a skeleton or skull on their gravestones,” he added. The weeping willow signified an early death, and the letters “DSP” indicated the deceased had no children. Other Haunted Heritage festivities included a mock funeral, music and scary cupcakes. Admission was $10 per person and all proceeds will benefit the museum.

New policy for community grants endorsed by Lanark County council akulp@perfprint.ca

Lanark County has taken steps to ensure all groups and organizations are on an even playing field with its new community grants policy. Council formally endorsed the new document at its Oct. 21 meeting, after lengthy discussions on it at three previous meetings, most recently, the Oct. 7 corporate services committee session. “The idea of the policy would be that no one is grandfathered. We’re starting fresh and no one is guaranteed,” Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves noted in his Oct. 7 presentation to the committee. The program is designed to and cannot be used for capital requirements or funding for buildings (purchase, renovation or construction). Its definition, Greaves stated, is “taxpayerlevied funds given to third party organizations that do not have a signed contract for service with Lanark County.” “...Local 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 projects,” he continued. Community grants allocations will remain status quo for 2016 with the new program to be included in the 2017 budget. The cut off date for applications for 2017 will be Sept. 15, 2016. “This gives everybody lots of notice that we’re going to a new program and they’ll have the opportunity to send in their applica-

tions,” Greaves said. Coun. John Gemmell (acting Perth mayor) wanted to see the policy implemented sooner. “We need a policy. Every year at budget time we contradict ourselves and do the same thing the following year,” he said. “We need something. We can’t be everything to everybody...it may be harsh to some people, but it’s true.” Coun. Shaun McLaughlin agreed, noting that organizations such as the Lanark Transportation Association and the Lanark Archives shouldn’t have to apply through the community grants process. “Our (Lanark County) archives, our transportation system, these are things that should get money...some of these things are integral to our community and our business should be funded on a regular basis,” he stated. “...What happens to those organizations when we stop giving money? Some organizations will go somewhere else because they have a number of different pots of money but we have to format this policy to the must haves, not the wants.” Another issue surrounded ongoing funding the county provides to its five youth centres, which amounts to $200,000 a year. Some councillors felt these funds shouldn’t come out of the community grants coffers, but become a dedicated line item in the budget. “This (policy) protects those that don’t have funding from other places and have a huge impact on youth in our community,” stressed Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor).

“If the youth centres’ funding grant is taken out (of community grants), then I do not support this policy.” “I support this (including youth centres) fully,” added Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor). “I suggest that money stay right where it is. That is money well spent.” Some councillors suggested the youth centres funding be included in the social services budget, which prompted Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) to disagree. “I agree with the comments about the youth centres. I support the funding, for sure, but my issue is it being in the social services budget. It’s one of transparency for me,” she said. “It is a community grant and I’m proud to say that we do offer that (funding)...it should be in with all the other community programs we support.” “It’s grant money,” continued Coun. Aubrey Churchill (Drummond/North Elmsley reeve). “It’s not to be hidden in some other area and that’s what it looks like we were doing (before). We were hiding it, there’s no doubt about it. I totally support this program and the (youth centres) funds should be come out of community grants.” Greaves confirmed that the youth centres funding is only for the current year but “under a new policy, council can approve these (funds) for a term of council.” Two terms of funding will be available through the program: short term projects or grants that would span the full term of council.

Canada Post is temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-todoor mail delivery to community mailboxes. We will work collaboratively with the Government of Canada to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system. Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly

fashion. This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process to be converted to community mailboxes. As a result, all conversions planned for November and December 2015 and those announced for 2016 will be placed on hold. Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their

mail delivery service. In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox. This includes customers set to begin receiving their mail and parcels in their boxes in October. We remain focused on maintaining reliable postal service to all Canadians without disruption.

She says when we make a connection with our child, it decreases stress, which allows the child to think, problem solve and this reduces power struggles.

The tradition continues with the tenth annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour on Dec. 5 and 6, presented by the women of CFUW Perth and District. Once again we open the doors to some of the town’s most unique homes between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day. The eight featured homes will provide you with a wealth of ideas for decorating your home and planning renovations. All of the homes pay tribute to the history of our area and were built in 19th or very early 20th centuries. Local decorators and florists have helped the homeowners dress the houses beautifully for the holidays.

On Oct. 7, Dr. Sian Phillips presented two seminars one for parents and one for professionals. Both sessions, Engaging with Children: How to Parent with Purpose and Engaging Children and Families to Help Build Positive Relationships were both well received by the audiences. They thought she was an “Amazing presenter …with very informative and down to earth…information.” The Connections program (part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services) and Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW) hosted the two events at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls as part of a grant received by the Lanark County Best Start Network. Dr. Phillips’ message was that “mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” Dr. Phillips states that

A family connection Siblings Ivors, Ormand, Claude, Bud and Norva grew up in Smiths Falls and were always close. A lively, cheerful bunch, the siblings all share a love of music. Norva, who joined the Chartwell family in April of this year, was a former member of her church’s choir and was an avid pianist throughout her life. Ormand also enjoys dancing and is known to encourage others to join him on the dance floor at all of the residence’s musical events. “He is not shy to get the ladies on their feet dancing,” says Natasha Paquette, general manager at Chartwell Van Horne. “Ormand always has a smile on his face and shows his kind heart to fellow residents.” In addition to this shared love of music, the siblings are often found sitting together after meals, catching up on old times. Norva expressed how grateful she is to still be so close to her brothers during their retirement years.

There is no limit to what people want painted on their stones, and the artist in Radmore has always been able to come up with every request. As well as painting on stones, Radmore’s talent extends to creating exquisite silk scarves. How she does it is as interesting as her stone creations. She ‘cooks’ them in a pressure cooker.

Elizabeth Radmore leaves no stone unturned when it comes to her love of unusual and interesting rocks. After a recent trip to Ireland, Radmore’s suitcases were loaded with stones she gathered along the Antrim Coast. This weighty cargo will eventually be replicas of English Cottages with thatched roofs, commissioned works from those who want their own cottage, house, or pet perpetually remembered. Radmore, among her other talents as an artist loves stones. She gathers them from wherever she happens to be, as long as it’s along the coast of a body of water. She has collected from the Madawaska River, and the shores of Calabogie Lake, finding shapes and sizes ranging from oval to flat, and from a few inches to one in her own yard which measures about 10 by eight inches. The continuous washing of the stones from the waters along coastlines, leaves a smooth surface, which is ideal for the painting Radmore does. She first uses modeling

Saluting future leaders

t is time once again to celebrate the achievements of some the younger members of our community. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen Award. The Ontario Community Newspapers Association and its members (including The Record News, The Kemptville Advance, The Perth Courier and The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette) have been presenting the awards since 1981. The program is a way of recognizing exceptional children and younger teens who make a difference. Up to 12 individuals will be selected as Ontario Junior Citizen Award recipients for 2015. Any resident of Ontario who is at least six years old as of Nov. 30 but no older than 17 by that date is eligible. There are five nomination categories: community service, contributing while living with a disability, performing a heroic act in the past year, excellence in personal achievements and “good kids” going above and beyond to make the lives of others better.

These individuals might volunteer for numerous organizations or seek support for causes with which they or someone they know are involved. Nominating these children and youths and sharing their stories might inspire other young people to follow suit and remind adults of the positive efforts made by the future leaders of the community. In addition to completing the main form (which includes the consent of a parent or guardian), there are also supporting nomination forms to be completed by at least two individuals other than the primary nominator. Copies of the forms will be available at our office at 65 Lorne St., Smiths Falls. They can also be obtained by visiting www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or emailing jr.citizen@ocna.org. The deadline to submit is Nov. 30. Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition, and we will showcase his or her achievements in our publication. The final recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park.

Mother knew long winter months ahead would mean being shut in It was happening again. In my mind’s eye I could see back to the year before. It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard. I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be? What had brought it on? Maybe she was worried that we would have enough food to last us over the coming winter. But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Mother was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt

Only four Liberal MPs elected in riding’s history? Not quite says reader DEAR EDITOR:

In the article “Conservative Reid re-elected but ends up back in opposition,” you quote Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP-elect Scott Reid as noting this riding has only voted Liberal four times in 42 federal general elections. This statement is not totally accurate, but is somewhat closer to the truth than the common myth that Liberals have never been elected, or elected only once.

Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing. He had been through this before. We sat down at the table with its shiny linen tablecloth, as many matched dishes as Audrey would ﬁnd, and our usual ample dinner.

According to the parliamentary website, there have been six Liberals elected in Lanark County, three of them in the former riding of Lanark North, starting with my three-times great-grand-uncle, Daniel Galbraith (Feb. 1, 1813-Dec. 17, 1879) who was elected in 1872, 1874 and 1878, dying in ofﬁce in the middle of his third term. He was succeeded in the Jan. 22, 1880 by-election by another Liberal, Almonte lawyer Donald Greenﬁeld MacDonell (July 2, 1849-Nov. 12,

She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard. Then she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing. Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write.

Lanark North was again represented by a Liberal from 1904 to1908 when Lanark mill owner Thomas Boyd Caldwell (Feb. 22, 1856-March 26, 1932) served during Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s administration. The only Liberal to represent Lanark County as a single riding, unattached to any neighbouring counties, was Smiths Falls fuel dealer Bert H. Soper (March 15, 1884-July 2, 1968)

anyone voted Conservative at all in this election. Fortunately, enough did that the Conservatives are still very much alive versus the near collapse of the Liberal party in 2011. It is this campaign of hate which has been the most unfortunate thing to witness this election. One question comes to mind in response and that is, how was the hate that some people have had for Stephen Harper, any better than the hate people have accused Harper of harbouring and reﬂecting in his policies? Traditionally we have voted for the best man or woman for the job, the most experienced and capable, not for the person who is most likely to defeat the candidate we don’t

ottawavalleytours.com want to see get elected based on popularity or a last name. In my opinion, Stephen Harper has done a very good job for Canada, despite the challenges he has had to face during the economic downturn and uncertainty we have been moving through. I think in due time, we will come to understand better and perhaps miss Harper’s lacklustre ways, as not a sign that he lacked inspiration, but that he was more interested in focusing on the job at hand without the need for so much fanfare. With regards to the comments made by Liberal candidate Phil Archambault, in his suggestion that Scott Reid’s win was solely attributable to Lanark people voting the way their grandparents did -

Travel Reg.#2967742 & 5000006

when I read this I thought, that is quite an insult to Scott as well as those who voted for him. To suggest that Scott Reid’s win was based solely on a history of demographical choice is making the assumption that people did not take the opportunity to think about their vote and where they chose to place it, in choosing Scott as the best person for the job. I am sure for the ﬁrst time in a long time, people thought quite a bit about their vote this election. Obviously I don’t agree with the result we have ended up with, but the people have spoken. Time will tell if the choice was the best one for Canada as a whole. BA Campbell Lombardy

The Capital Critics Circle is a collection of some of Canada’s top professional theatre critics, including Iris Winston, Jamie Portman, and Patrick Langston. The Toronto-based Smyth will return to her Ottawa hometown Nov. 21 for the annual awards ceremony at the National Arts Centre. “The National Arts Centre is the theatre I went to see my first professional everything!” enthused Smyth upon hearing the news. “My first musical, opera, symphony, concert recital, play and ballet. It is the theatre that had me transfixed as a child. It will be very exciting to return to the NAC for my first Best Actress nomination.” Smyth says she was elated to hear the news, as she was “very proud to be a part of Wait Until Dark.

Rounding out the cast were Classic Theatre veteran performers Alastair Love, Greg Campbell, Richard Gélinas, Scott Clarkson, and Sean Jacklin. “It’s a challenging play to produce because so many elements have to come together in an exact fashion to keep the tension building right until the final moment, and we were thrilled to be able to have such a great company to pull it off,” says director Laurel Smith, who notes the introduction of mysteries and thrillers into the festival’s summer mix has been a major success. Behind her onstage poise, Smyth confesses that “the role of Susy brought me some anxiety leading up to rehearsals. Once Susy enters in at the end of the first scene, she never leaves the stage for more then a few seconds. I wanted to know my lines before rehearsals so that the element of memorization would have been dealt with and I could focus on finding a truthful performance. As a performer, Susy made me connect with the other actors without using my eyes. That was a challenge and very interesting. It was such a juicy role. I’m grate-

The latest Hydro One rate hike is a slap in the face to Ontarians and more evidence the Wynne government should abandon its ﬁre sale of the utility and focus on making rates more affordable. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark made that statement Oct. 16 in the wake of news the Ontario Energy Board has approved electricity rate increases to take effect Nov. 1. The increase means an average customer will pay about $53 more annually for hydro – an 8.7 per cent spike in the on-peak rate. “It’s completely unacceptable that we’re heading into the winter heating season and the Wynne government’s policies are driving rates even higher,”

said Clark, adding the increase will make it even harder for struggling families to make ends meet. “Instead of forging ahead with a disastrous plan to sell-off Hydro One, which will increase rates even more, the Premier should ﬁx her government’s broken energy policies,” explained Clark. “Those policies and her failure to clean up the waste and mismanagement at Hydro One are the reason electricity rates in Ontario have sky-rocketed.” Indeed, today’s announcement is the second increase in this year after the average bill went up by $68 per year in May. And with the government set to cancel the 10 per cent Clean Energy Beneﬁt

in January, Clark noted the New Year will ring in another increase. “More and more families in LeedsGrenville are forced to choose between putting food on the table and paying their rent or paying the hydro bill,” said Clark, who also pointed out the increases are making it harder for businesses to keep their doors open. “The government needs to recognize the damage their energy policies are doing to Ontario. Families and businesses can’t take any more – and if Premier Wynne and her Energy Minister aren’t up to the job, they should admit it today and step aside.” Submitted by the ofﬁce of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

Home visiting program in Lanark County going into 23rd year

based on mutual trust and respect. Most visits are once a week or twice a month for about an hour, this is always determined by what the family needs. We can help parents to better understand their children, bringing toys to our visits and showing parents how to increase learning and positive play. We offer current information on relevant topics, model skills, help to problem solve and actively listen and support. Our Home Visitors know about resources in the community and can facilitate referrals. When our budget allows we offer help with practical things such as extra food or diapers. We can accompany a family as well to an important appointment or legal clinic,

or offer support by phone if their child is sick or in hospital. Our Home Visiting program is federally funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, under the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC). Various community agencies across Canada get this funding to develop and deliver programs to vulnerable families, with the common goal of promoting the healthy development of children ages 0-6. There are approximately 425 CAPC projects serving over 223,000 vulnerable children and parents/caregivers in more than 3,000 communities across Canada each year. Each program is community based, offering various types of programming. At Connections we use this funding to provide home visiting, parent child playgroups, parent education groups, school readiness programs for children going to school next year and special events/daytrips in the summer. Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and

How to choose nutritional options to donate to food drives this fall Marie Traynor

This is the time of year when many groups, schools and workplaces are contributing to community food drives. We know that people with the biggest financial constraints are often the ones at highest risk for poor nutritional and overall health. If you plan to donate canned or packaged food please consider using the % Daily Value (%DV) found in the Nutrition Facts Table to compare products. In general, products with 5 per cent DV or less for sodium and total fat are a healthy choice. Products with 15 per cent DV or more for fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron are also healthy choices. Make the healthy choice the easy choice. • For canned vegetables, tomato products and soup choose those with no added salt or the lowest sodium content. • For canned fruit choose those packed in water or fruit juice rather than syrup; choose vegetable juices with lower sodium. • Choose 100 per cent juice instead of fruit beverages, drinks or cocktails. • Choose unsweetened apple sauce.

Nutrition Tips • Choose plain dried fruit such as raisins, apricots, etc. instead of fruit leathers and “fruit” candies. Grain products include pasta, crackers, granola bars, hot and cold cereals, rice • Look for the words “whole grain” as the first item on the ingredients list, for example, whole grain wheat. • If storage facilities are available choose fresh bread products higher in fibre and lower in sodium. • Choose hot and cold cereal made with whole grain, higher in fibre and lower in sugar. • Look for crackers higher in fibre and lower in fat and sodium. • Look for granola bars lower in fat, lower in sugar, higher in fibre. • Choose brown rice and whole wheat pasta. Milk and alternatives include milk, fortified soya beverage, yogurt and cheese • Dry milk powder can be added to foods to increase the calcium, vitamin D and protein, for example, it can be added to casseroles, liquid milk, cream soups and more.

• Choose lower fat (skim, 1% and 2% MF) evaporated milk. MF stands for milk fat. • Some agencies can accept fresh milk, fortified soya beverage, yogurt, and cheese if cold storage facilities are available – choose 2% MF or less for milk and yogurts; for cheese choose 20 per cent MF or less. • Choose puddings made with skim milk as the first ingredient. Meat and alternatives include meat, fish, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes • Choose the lower sodium canned meat and fish products; choose fish canned in water. • Choose canned baked beans, dried or canned beans and lentils. Look for the lowest sodium content. • Choose dry roasted, no-salt added nuts and seeds. • Look at the ingredient list for peanut butter. Choose those with only peanuts listed. • In addition to peanut butter, consider choosing other nut butters such as almond. • Choose fresh fish, meat, eggs and tofu if cold storage facilities are available.

Incorporation consideration If you’re like most unincorporated small business owners or a professional whose regulatory body allows incorporation (known as a Professional Corporation) you’re likely considering whether or not to incorporate and, if so, when is the best time. While it’s true that incorporation does deliver terrific tax benefits and some creditor protection from your personal assets, there are pros, cons and caveats to incorporation that might affect your decision. Let’s look at them. Cons • Cash Flow If you need all of the profits from your business to support your personal cash flow needs, incorporation may not be for you as the cost of setting up and maintaining the corporation could outweigh any tax benefits. On the other hand, if you are financially able to retain some profits inside the corporation, you could derive significant tax deferral and potential tax savings. • Taxing Questions If you are just starting your business, incorporation should probably wait because losses incurred by an incorporated business can’t flow through to shareholders. In the early stages of your business, you’re likely better off using losses personally against other income. Once your business begins to earn income in excess of your own personal lifestyle needs you may begin to benefit from the ability to defer your tax liability to a future period and benefit from potential tax savings (in most provinces). Caveats • Creditor-proofing Personal Assets Corporate creditors can generally only go after assets owned by the corporation. However, banks and other suppliers often require small business owners to personally guarantee corporate liabilities and corporate directors may be liable for many types of unpaid debts such as outstanding income tax, HST, GST and employee source deductions. Incorporation may provide some creditor protection, but only if properly structured, so speak to an advisor to ensure you are protected.

Manage Your Money Pros • Income-splitting to reduce taxes by making your spouse or adult children shareholders as dividends will benefit from their respective marginal tax rates – or employing them in the business, provided the remuneration is reasonable for their work performed. • Deferring certain expenses. For example, you can deduct employee bonuses for tax purposes before year-end but are only required to actually pay out the bonus after year-end (certain restrictions apply). • Leaving assets in the corporation where they will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis until you choose to withdraw them. • Creating a registered pension plan and tax-deductible group health and life insurance plan for you and your employees (which could include family members). • Choosing a fiscal year spanning any 12-month period. Select a fiscal year that coincides with business or cash flow peaks or when corporate expenses are higher (potentially reducing your tax bite). • Structuring your corporation to continue after your death for estate planning purposes. There are certainly potential benefits to incorporation but incorporating also comes with costs – from initial setup and legal costs to ongoing requirements for tax returns and corporate resolutions – and other legal requirements. Be sure to talk to your legal, tax and professional advisor before you do. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

‘Are we speaking the same language?’ English has many variations I have heard this said on many occasions. “People in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and Canada have many things in common. But language isn’t one of them.” Obviously that’s a facetious statement referring to the fact the English language has lots of words with many different meanings. Words that mean one thing in Canada, for example, mean something entirely different in the UK and Ireland. Then there is local slang. Words which are common in one or more of the countries I am referring to today. In recent months my wife Kathleen and I have experienced this “local language” situation in spades. In August and September we vacationed in the Irish Republic and England. During our time there we met and spoke to travelers from around the world including folks from Australia and New Zealand. Because we speak the same language, after a fashion, it is easy to strike up a conversation. When we speak most of them think we’re Americans of course. But that is easily sorted out. In recent days Kathy and I had friends from Scotland staying with us. On occasion it was a challenge for us to understand what they were saying because of their thick accents. At other times we were left scratching our heads because some words they used or sentences they strung together simply didn’t make sense to us. Certain words and/or slang terms are familiar to people in all English-speaking countries. In Canada, for example, “underwear” is used more than “knickers.” Still, the latter is easily understood by all of us – i.e. “don’t get your knickers in a knot.” When we were in Dublin we were enjoying the atmosphere in a jam-packed local pub one evening when a couple from Australia asked if they could share our table. They were traveling in Ireland and the UK for two months. That’s routine for Aussies. If they’re going to come that distance they usually stay for a while. They were pleasant folks and we had a really good chat, mainly about where we had been, what we had seen and where we were heading next. After a short time the gentleman leaned over and asked me “where’s the dunnie?” It took me a few seconds to recall that “dunnie” is Australian slang for toilet. Later the lady described an enjoyable meal they had in Temple Bar, Dublin the night before. “There was heaps – it was great,” she said. Heaps is easier to decipher. It means “a lot.”

Reflections By Jeff maguire

If someone from Down Under says they “had a spill on their daks” they mean they dropped food on themselves. “Daks” are trousers. When we parted company that night our new friends gave us a jaunty wave and she said, “Hooroo!” Back at the hotel I had to look that word up on Kathy’s iPad. It’s Aussie for “goodbye.” Makes sense, eh! Many variations It’s very easy to trip over certain slang words. For example, if the Australian fellow we met had asked the Irish bartender “where is the dunnie” he would have received only a blank stare in return. In Ireland the slang word for toilets is “jacks.” In England it’s the “loo.” If the Irish are going to watch a movie they substitute “pictures” for movies although that is another word most English speakers can relate to. On the other hand if you’re a Canadian in Dublin and a man tells you he is “off to meet his mot” you will no doubt be baffled. In Dublin slang “mot” means girlfriend. New Zealanders have added their own twists to our common language. If someone says “crook” to me I assume they’re talking about a criminal. To the Kiwis if you are “crook” you are sick, or unwell. And don’t be offended if a New Zealander uses the word “dummy” when talking to you. They are probably looking for their baby’s pacifier. However, when they refer to a child they might say “sprog” which means the same thing. Sounds more like an automobile part to me! On the other hand if you’re in Auckland and you’re called “a wolly” you should be well and truly offended. A “wolly” is a clown, or a loser. In our language there are certain words that are familiar in several English speaking nations. Brits, Aussies and Kiwis all use the following automobile-related words that Canadians don’t. “Bonnet” (hood), “boot” (trunk) or “windscreen” (windshield) is their terminology, not ours. Last Wednesday George Lees and his daughter Amanda, our good friends from Comrie in Perthshire, Scotland flew home after a 10-day stay. We had a

great time together, just as we always do. An ongoing theme for us is poking fun at each other’s language quirks. They love our “Canadian accents” something Kathy and I didn’t know we had until we established friendships with people in the UK. In turn we sometimes struggle to cut through their very pronounced accents. George, who spent 12 years in the British Navy and 30 years in the Scottish Police Force, speaks with a very thick brogue which we find difficult to understand at times. That’s only part of the language “battle” however. The rest relates to Scottish slang words and terminology we aren’t familiar with. There is a lot to choose from when trying to explain it. On their final day here George, Amanda and I were chatting and it suddenly dawned on me there might be a column brewing. Turns out I was right! The previous evening we had enjoyed dinner at the home of mutual friends. As we chatted Amanda said, “I really enjoyed the meal at Frank and Wendy’s last night. It was so homely.” I was gob-smacked (that means “surprised” or “shocked” in the UK). To me “homely” means someone who, to be kind, is lacking when it comes to physical attractiveness. Sensing my bewilderment Amanda clarified her remark noting that to the Scots “homely” means something that is comfortable or enjoyable. Enjoying a pleasant evening meal at home for example. She was complimenting our hosts. If the shoe fits Earlier we were driving through Carleton Place in George’s rented SUV. Suddenly a driver backed out of a driveway right in front of him, forcing George to swing to the left violently in order to avoid a collision. It was a near thing! A chorus of “eejit” (and a couple of words I won’t repeat here) erupted from our Scottish friends. Eejit is only a slight variation on “idiot.” If the shoe fits! Speaking of near misses on the road, if someone in Scotland says “honkin” they don’t mean sounding their horn. To a Scot “honkin” means someone smells. The slang word “minging” also refers to a person in Scotland who hasn’t bothered to change or wash for many days. If someone tells a Canadian there’s “a jumper” we are liable to call 911. In Scotland a jumper is a sweater, something we’re all reaching for these days. At one point we were talking

about construction materials. George said a word that sounded like “al-u-min-ium.” It finally struck me that he meant “aluminum.” Sometimes it’s all in the pronunciation. If someone said to you “the gaffer is a right plonker” what would you make of it? In Scotland it translates as “my boss is an idiot.” That’s something many Canadians can relate to no doubt! You definitely know your Scottish if you know, a “lassie” is a female, a “plaster” is a Band-Aid, a cast is a “stookie”, a “piece” is a sandwich, a “banger” is a sausage or “tatties” are potatoes. On the highway and byways of Scotland you can expect to see

“people movers” (vans), lorries (trucks) and “bendy-coaches” (articulated buses). Just like Canada you will find drivers talking on their “mobiles” (cell phones) when they should be focused on their driving. Watching soccer, my favourite sport, on TV in the UK is also an interesting experience. When a player starts a game in place of someone else the announcer says he is “deputizing” and when an athlete is knocked off their feet and falls on the pitch he is “on the floor.” Yes, the words are familiar but despite the fact they’re all English, many have very different meanings depending on what country you’re visiting. It can definitely be a challenge to un-

derstand what you’re hearing at times. The international “word game” has often prompted me to ask, “Excuse me. But are we speaking the same language?” Words play a major role in my life. Yet occasionally they leave me totally flummoxed (that means “confused”). Still, the biggest challenge when my Comrie friend George is around is attempting to filter the words and sentences from his considerable accent. Once, in total exasperation, I asked, “George, do you come with subtitles?” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

In partnership with

Mona is coming to Carleton Place Town Hall this December What are we talking about? The People Versus Mona is a new musical murder mystery that is so funny it’s a crime! Set in the fictional towvn of Tippo, Georgia, it is loaded with southern charm, engaging characters and fabulous music. It will be presented cabaret style to appeal to an adult audience and would be a great outing for an office team or a group of friends to start off the holiday season. Preparation for Mona’s arrival started many months ago: March: A small group reads the script aloud. They love the humour, characters and eclectic musical score. They present it to the board for approval for the 2015-2016 Mudds season. This local theatre troupe already has a good reputation for entertaining murder mysteries. The board decides it will be a perfect play to for the 2015 holiday season. April: An experienced production team is assembled: The producer to worry about money and logistics; the directors to provide vision and training on all things artistic; and the bandleader to support and enrich the sound. With the expertise of Tony Scott, Brian McManus, Laurel Tye and Peter Brown the show is in good hands. May: The stage manager, sound and light experts, people to work on the set, props, and costumes, sign up to the production team. Barb Dickson, Mark Tye, Brian Kasper, Jeff Lee, Christy Bindhardt, and Judith Scott all get a one-way

The Mississippi Mudds next production, a musical murder mystery entitled The People Versus Mona, opens Dec. 4 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Above, some of the key backstage personnel working on the project, have some fun during rehearsal. Clockwise from top left: Brian Mcmanus, director; Jenny Pfitzer, actor and publicity; Peter Brown, band leader; Laurel Tye, music director; Tony Scott, producer; Jeff Lee, set lead; and Don Lee, actor and ticket designer. ticket for the trip. Mona gets her cast! June: The call goes out far and wide for actor-singers. Candidates arrive to audition. Mona needs all the usual – and

unusual – “suspects” that make for good entertainment. We need a feisty reporter, bumbling defence lawyer, idealistic bar owner, pushy prosecutor, singing police officer, blind folk singer, southern

preacher, creepy coroner, sketchy motel owner and three sexy back-up singers. At the end of the day the perfect cast is chosen. July and August: All through the hot summer, Mona’s journey continues. The producer negotiates good rehearsal space, makes bookings, talks to the caterer, plans publicity strategy and tweaks the budget. The directors plan the rehearsal schedule. The bandleader recruits musicians to join him on stage. The actors study their scripts and music. September: First rehearsal... oh, the excitement! The actors get together for the first time, to read and sing through the script. The hard work of learning lines and music begins. All are enthusiastic. In a few months Mona and her entourage will enter the town hall. October: The advertising plan kicks in. Poster designer Jennifer Pfitzer and publicity manager Judith Scott brainstorm how to get the word out. Articles like the one you are reading now are one of the first strategies to alert a potential audience. There will also be website entries, banners, advertisements and use of social media. As always, word of mouth is the best way to spread the word. “Have you heard about the Mudds show opening in December? Maybe we should get a group together—sounds like it is going to be a riot!” November: Tickets, designed and printed by Don Lee, are already at the outlet. You can go to The Davis Agency

Hallmark store at 428 McNeely Avenue. You have lots of chances. The stores are open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. But don’t wait too long. Dec. 4: Opening night! Town hall doors open and Jim and Judith Cousins with their team of Front of House volunteers are ready to greet you and your friends. You buy a glass of wine, enjoy some munchies and relax after your busy week. You are about to be entertained. Finally you get to meet Mona and hear her story. The People Versus Mona runs Dec. 4 and 5 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. There will be reserved row seating and a cash bar at the evening shows. Soft drinks and treats will be available at the matinee. Tickets for the first weekend shows are $25. On Dec. 11 and 12 the show will be presented as dinner theatre with round tables of eight. Leatherworks Catering provides the southern-style buffet dinner in keeping with the Georgia setting for the story. Dinner is served at 7 p.m., but get there early to enjoy a beverage and relax before the show. Tickets for the dinner theatre package are $40. This show is suitable for older teen and adults.

Hit train musical pulls into Station Theatre this Nov. 7 Here Comes the Train! The Ottawa Valley Railway Story, the latest hit musical from Stone Fence Theatre, is coming to Smiths Falls on Nov. 7 for two performances at the Station Theatre. The story of the show goes behind the scenes of life in the railway steam era, with much of it based on stories from Smiths Falls, collected with the help of the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. The production looks at the lives of the people who worked on and around the trains and the impact railways had on the Ottawa Valley and Canada as a whole. Most of the play is set in the

1950s, with a five-piece band and musical styles including bluegrass, blues and country/ folk. To generate interest, the company has created a YouTube music video tied to the show. The video uses one of the songs from the show, “Got That Train on my Brain,” and was shot, in old-time movie style, at the old railway station in Barry’s Bay. It can be viewed online at https://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=UN8sY3vDU00&featu re=youtube. The show will be performed at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Station Theatre on Nov. 7. The Station Theatre is located at 53

Victoria Avenue. Tickets are available online at www.stonefence.ca or by phone, toll-free, at 1-866-3101004. We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows – like Film Night International’s Louis Cyr on Oct. 29 and the Smiths Falls Community Theatre’s next movie, Mr. Holmes, on Nov. 20 and 21 – by going to our website or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre). And stay tuned for the Station Theatre’s announcement of its 2016 season of six plays and the SixPack Flex Pack Voucher. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre.

The Always and Forever bridal show held at the ballroom of the Gallipeau Centre was a success. This was the first year for the show that included more than 30 vendors, and a fashion show put on by Swissmiss Bridal. Left, Joseph morin/METROLAND Rebecca Rickenbach-Nolan and daughter Emma take a turn at the bridal show. Joseph Morin/ METROLAND

Evening of One-Act Plays opens Oct. 29 at Studio Theatre An Evening of One-Act Plays is proof that while some stories take two acts and two hours to tell, others are so simple and compelling they deliver a full measure of drama, humour or heartbreak in half that time. Premiering Oct. 29 at the Studio Theatre, An Evening of One-Act Plays is a dramatically different kind of theatre experience – two bite-size plays, each about 30 or 40 minutes long, that welcome theatre goers into two unique worlds in one delightful evening. The first world is that of an early 20th century farmhouse, where a murder has just been committed. Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles, written in 1916, is a murder mystery that, of course, unravels as clues are exposed. But this thought-provoking play also gives us a revealing glimpse into the way women were perceived in a man’s world 100 years ago. The Studio Theatre’s production is directed by Jane Stott, and stars Sheila Jasiak, Joanna McAuley Treffers, Grey Masson, Lucas Tennant, and Martin Treffers. The play features an original music composition, Call Up A Storm, written for the flute by Jen McLaughlin.

From murder mystery to murderously funny, the second oneact of the evening is The Way Of All Fish, written by legendary Academy Award-nominated actress and comedian Elaine May. This dark comedy, with as many twists and turns as a ﬁsh’s tail, places us squarely in the middle of a ping-pong power game of one-upmanship between a self absorbed Manhattan executive and her seemingly drab secretary. The Way Of All Fish represents the directorial debut of award-winning Studio Theatre actress Joanna McAuley Treffers, and stars Rideau Awardnominated actress Alexis Scott and accomplished musical theatre actress Keegan Carr. The set is by Reiner Silberhorn, and Joanna McAuley Treffers also takes on the roles of costumer and set dresser, along with Penny Silberhorn. Both Triﬂes and The Way Of All Fish are Studio Theatre entries in the 2015 edition of the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival, which takes place in Haliburton the weekend of Nov. 6 to 8. The Studio Theatre has a storied history of success at the Eastern Ontario Drama League Festival, and this year’s entries will

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO.

is a beautiful, sweet and very affectionate kitty. She is quite shy and timid so likes to feel relaxed and comfortable. Once you get her out of her shell she loves nothing more then to be stroked and tickled. If you have room in your heart for Eliza, please contact the shelter at 613283-9308. She will be waiting in the window.

This week’s featured pets Rascal Rascal is the funniest kitten. He only just has ﬁgured out how much fun playing and hiding inside his blanket is – in the morning, his favourite game is “what’s under the blanket” where you wiggle your hands around and he pounces on them. He had previously preferred eating as much as possible and snoozing the day away. He now has a new secret skill: crawling underneath his blanket and waiting for you to walk by and then trying to tackle you from behind his cage bars. He is such a gentle thing, but he is far too busy for so many kisses. Things to do, places to see. But, when the day is over, he reverts to his snoozy self and you can cuddle him to your heart’s content.

Jesse Jesse is a sweet young gentleman with the ability to steal people’s hearts in just a few minutes. He loves human presence and attention, likes to snuggle up next to you while your cleaning his cage, and enjoys being petted to such a degree that if you don’t initiate it yourself, he gently pokes you with his paw or tries to put his cute little face in your hand! He is curious, responds when you talk to him, and follows you around while you clean. Jesse prefers to be in company of people than being alone,

Eliza Eliza loves to look out the window for the next visitors to the shelter. Possibly it is her turn to be adopted? Eliza

This Week’s Pets and is always super happy to see you in the morning. He enjoys playing with interactive toys, but usually only for about ﬁve minutes at a time. He often has very vivid dreams and the accompanying twitching and quivering is really adorable. This warmhearted little guy is looking for someone who will be able to give him all the love and attention he deserves. Our seniors Tangie This loving lady is to old to climb the curtains but not to old to climb on your lap. Tangie is a pretty lady who loves to ﬂirt! She enjoys meeting new friends and would love to meet her new family! Looking for a cool kitty to hang with? Tangie would love to get to know you. Walter This handsome man knows he has the beautiful face and big cheeks every Tom wants! Water is shy when meeting new friends and appreciates gentle

pets. He has a tendency to hide during our open hours because of all the noise and chaos and he comes out when it is quit for a feisty game with the feather wand and other toys before he stretches out in front of a window. Walter wants to stay near people while also being independent enough to happily occupy himself when your busy. He will do great as a member of an easy-going and calm home with adults and children over 12. Come meet this lovely boy today! Max Meet Max: This boy loves to play fetch, and would beneﬁt from an active home that can wear him out! Max meets and greets other dogs nicely, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can be treated like a king. Since he can be a rambunctious boy, he would likely be best suited in a

home without children under the age of seven. He would be a great adventure buddy, and is sure able to keep up with you wherever you go. Max would do well in a home familiar with his breed, and the focused nature of a German Shepherd. If you are looking for a happy boy to be your new buddy, come by and meet him today. Wish list LAWS is currently in need of the following items: small litter boxes, nonclumping cat litter, canned cat food and treats (Temptations), cat toys, canned Pedigree/dog food for dogs with gravey, dog Milk Bones, soft dog treats, Kongs, Chuck Its and other interactive toys (medium size and larger). The shelter is also in need of some cleaning and ofﬁce products: Bleach, J towels, laundry soap, latex and rubber gloves, garbage bags, primer and white paint, winter shovels, winter salt, printing paper, yellow highlighters, paper towel, Windex and toilet paper. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@ lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613283-9308.

UCDSB trustee innovation awards honour excellence in education The Upper Canada District School Board honoured 15 employees Sept. 24 who have found ways to work smarter to benefit our students. The third annual Trustee Innovation Awards saw two team and four individual awards presented during a ceremony at the Brockville board office. The event was designed to recognize innovative work practices by our staff, and highlight these practices so other employees may adopt them and make the system better. Recipients of this year’s award were: The Almonte and District High School Innovators (Ron Ferguson, principal; Andy Carruthers, Dan Hickey, Joe Irvin, Ian Smith, Shelley Smith, Ashleigh Snowdon, and Steve Dalgity, teachers; and Stephany Stamos, educational assistant; Lisa Chitty, teacher, Thousand Islands Elementary School; Carrie Gilmour and Melissa Ringler, teachers, Seaway District High School: Penny Kirkby, custodian, Toniata Public School; Carla Bangma, teacher, Front of Yonge Elementary School, and Kelly LeBlanc, teacher, Russell Public School. In presenting the awards, trustee Caroll Carkner praised the recipients for their trailblazing efforts to improve the educational experience of our students. “This recognition lets our employees know we care and want to celebrate these innovative and creative people,” said Carkner, 1st vice chair of the board. “By highlighting their efforts, it encourages others to try something new and different, the learning spreads among our staff, and our board gets better beSubmitted photo cause of it.” Members of the Almonte and District High School Innovators pose The Almonte District High School Innovators Ron Ferguson: This principal at Almonte and District High School (ADHS) was nominated as part of the Almonte and District High School Innovators team. As the school leader, he facilitates innovation at the school and allows teachers to be creative and explore ways to make school engaging and relevant for students. He has helped introduce a variety of improvements at the school including: a performance arts space, a state-of-the-art fitness room, a new Maker Space room (explained be-

Dan Hickey, teacher: This communications technology teacher is being honoured for several innovative accomplishments at ADHS, including streaming of school sports events, and introducing the Tech Team program to the school, an initiative that offers stu-

dents the opportunity to learn how technology can be used in the modern world for things like learning, sharing ideas and growing businesses. As part of the program, ADHS purchased 18 tablets, which teachers can sign out for use during lessons. After brainstorming ways the tablets could be integrated into lessons and figuring out logistics, the Tech

Team students had an opportunity to switch roles with their teachers and give them a lesson on using the technology. With Hickey’s help, the school was able to win the 2015 Ken Spencer Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. Stephany Stamos, educational assistant: Stamos is being cited for starting a new school breakfast program, which makes a free breakfast available to any ADHS student who needs it. The “Thundermuffins” program feeds students a toasted English muffin with eggs and cheese, and a juice to start the day. Stamos secured a $10,000 grant to start the program and organized four teams of community volunteers to help run it. Andy Carruthers, design technology teacher: This veteran teacher helped set up the school’s innovative Maker Space design room where, if students dream it, they can make it. Under his guidance, students have excelled in robotics, welding and metalwork, stain glass and glass etchings, the creation of innovative design projects such as ping pong ball launchers, 3D printing, and T-shirt making. Steve Dalgity, teacher: This teacher was the driving force behind his school’s CrossFit program and ADHS Fitness Space. He designed the state-of-the-art fitness space where staff, students and the community can meet their fitness goals. He even participated in a teacher swap last year with a Grades 7-8 teacher so he could teach intermediate students and spread his passion for fitness to future high school students. Joe Irvin, construction technology teacher: Irvin is being honoured for starting the school’s Heritage Carpentry Program which is working with community partners to build a 9-by-12 foot timber framed building. The structure is being completed this semester by Grades 11 and 12 students enrolled in the Construction Specialist High Skills Major program. It is being built in the school and will later be erected like a barn raising. Area business Gibson Timber Frames provided two workshops to students to teach them basic timber frame joinery: using proper layout techniques and then using traditional mortise and tenon joinery cuts using large chisels, saws and specialized mortising machines.

Ian Smith, student success and English teacher: This veteran teacher is being recognized for out-of-the-box approaches that engage struggling students. After discovering some of the at-risk students in his essentials English class were interested in hunting and the outdoors, Smith had them research and create their own survival guides for enduring a Canadian winter outside in February. The students built their own fires and snow shelters, and kept journals about the experience. He also piloted a “oneto-one” instructional approach with his essentials students. Working with community partners, who helped sponsor the purchase of tablets that his students could use in class, he now delivers instruction using OneNote and various adaptive technologies to engage his students. He has been so successful that teams of teachers from across the board have visited his classroom to witness the learning he inspires among some of the school’s most challenged students. Shelley Smith, music teacher: This outstanding teacher is being honoured for enhancing the music program at ADHS by serving as the driving force behind the school’s performance arts space. Consulting with parents, students and community members, she has designed a space that allows both individuals and groups to pursue their artistic endeavours. While an intermediate teacher, she also works to provide music lessons to secondary students at ADHS by participating in a teacher swap. Ashleigh Snowdon, teacher: This dedicated intermediate teacher is being cited for an instructional approach that encourages students to work together to solve “real life” math problems. Instead of the traditional teacher-based instruction, Snowdon engages students as a co-learner. She also works to bring educational concepts to life through projectbased learning. With the help of the secondary school’s technology department, she had her students work to develop designs and build model hot tubs, allowing students to learn collaboratively through problem-solving about electricity, water flow, and various materials.

Looking back with fondness on the legacy of Max Keeping “He was a very very well known man!” This will be but only one way in which Max Keeping wilal be referred to in the future. Celebrity, humanitarian, news anchor, fundraiser, character and a “good friend of the people” will no doubt be used as well. He has been called an “outlaw” (in the sense that certain ‘70s country artists were referred to) and he once stated that he was “honoured” to be ranked amongst them. For more then 30 years, Max was a ﬁxture on the CTV Ottawa Evening News. Each night more then 200,000 viewers in Ottawa and the Valley would tune in religiously to see him deliver the news. In the past, titles such as “Newsline” and “CJOH News” were as much a part of the common everyday language as the terms family farm, lumberjacks, snow and maple syrup. Max Keeping encompassed all of that and more. Born in Newfoundland, he came to the Ottawa area during the mid-1960s and

began his broadcasting career on CFRA radio. Shortly thereafter, he moved over to channel 13 (CJOH) and remained there until his retirement. He credited his longstanding relationship with the late legendary Valley singer/songwriter Mac Beattie as being key to understanding and the basis for the love of the Valley that he came to hold so dearly. “Mac was a dear friend to me and so much more,” Max shared. “In fact, I’d have to say he was like a father to me and I both loved and respected him dearly. A finer man one would be hard pressed to find.” “In fact, it might well have been Mac that first called me a Newfie Cowboy and I’m proud of that term as well,” he added. During the years he has been a celebrity, Max has been involved with numerous causes and in extensive charity fundraising activities. The list goes on and on but it’s suffice to say that he never turned his back on a good cause. He did this because he felt it was his

It is well known that he suffered many battles with cancer but he always kept up the good fight and was a positive force to be dealt with. Many rode the “train of hope” and found their inner faith and strength along with him and through him. He just had that kind of impact on people. LyLe diLLabough I didn’t know that he knew who I was, or anything about me, until I interviewed responsibility as a public figure to use his him the first time. Then I found out that name and popularity to serve others and he knew just about everything. And from the community as a whole. “If we don’t that time on we became sort of a silent reach out to those in need, then we have failed in our roles as people, journalists, celebrities, or whatever,” he said. In an interview he shared (that as well Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind as being an avid country music fan) he was also one serious “metalhead” and has launched a raffle for a WestJet Gift loves groups such as Metallica, Deep of Flight. You can win a return trip for two people to any schedule WestJet desPurple and Ozzy Osbourne. “I told my granddaughter that one had tination, including all taxes and fees. A maximum of 705 tickets will be to ‘experience’ them once and then see them again to ‘remember’ them,” he said sold. Cost is $20 per ticket. The draw will take place on Dec. 18. The prize with a huge laugh. “Everyday is a gift from God and we of a Gift of Flight has been donated by all need to see it that way,” he explained. WestJet with 100 per cent of the pro-

cheering section for each other. He often sent a crew out to cover some fundraising event that I might be involved with and always helped us in getting much needed publicity. However, the thing that amazes me most about the man was his incredible popularity and the magnetism he had with people. He was just one of those rare persons who possessed that quality. No better a person to possess this quality then someone such as him; a rare ﬁnd indeed. And a great one at that!

UCDSB earns healthy workplace award The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) was honoured Oct. 29 as a shining example of a healthy workplace. On behalf of the board, UCDSB staff received the Canada Awards for Excellence Healthy Workplace Platinum Award for its health, wellness and safety programs during the Performance Excellence Summit and Canada Awards for Excellence at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto. The UCDSB will be the first school board in Canada to receive the award. The trophy, presented by Excellence Canada, honours the board for quality programs that care for the physical and psychological health and safety of its employees and which help them achieve and maintain exemplary health. The award comes after an extensive review by Excellence Canada of all UCDSB health, wellness and safety programming. The board qualified due to its sound systemic approach to sustaining a healthy workplace, its atmosphere of continuous improvement, and its data-driven approach demonstrating sustained positive improvements in all areas of health and safety programming. “I am extremely pleased,” added Penny Raabe, a compensation and wellness specialist with the board. “This prestigious award is tangible evidence of our organization’s level of excellence. Raabe gave credit for the honour to the late Linda Billing, former manager of employee services, who led UCDSB efforts to gain bronze, silver and gold certifications under the Excellence Canada program, and whose foundational work helped the board achieve platinum status. Submitted by Mark Calder, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

Last Witch Hunter earns Warm turkey rice salad an ‘A’ with a ‘B’ movie plot makes a great lunch or dinner MOVIE: The Last Witch Hunter STARRING: Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie, Elijah Wood, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Julie Engelbrect and Michael Caine DIRECTOR: Breck Eisner RATING: PG-13

The Last Witch Hunter is the kind of modern day sword and sorcery you’d expect to see on Space late at night with a great big giant ‘B’ stamped all over it. Yet this is the best ‘B’ movie I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever. Eight hundred years ago Kaulder (Vin Diesel) and a group of warriors set out to destroy the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrect). Kaulder came face to face with the supernatural terror, and defeated her. On the brink of death the Queen lashed out, and with her last strength cursed Kaulder with eternal life. Kaulder has spent his immortality protecting humanity from witches alongside a secret religious organization called The Axe and Cross. Today, in the present, there’s a truce between humanity and witch kind. Kaulder works to keep the peace acting more like a police ofﬁcer

My Take

Mark haskins

than a warrior. All that changes when Kaulder’s watcher and chronicler, the 36th Dolan (Michael Caine), is attacked. The Axe and Cross always has a Dolan with Kaulder to guide and protect him. The current Dolan was set to retire when he was attacked, which is a coincidence Kaulder and the 37th Dolan (Elijah Wood) can’t ignore. A witch calling himself Belail (Olafur Darri Olafsson) is seeking to resurrect the Witch Queen. It falls to Kaulder, along with a young witch named Chloe (Rose Leslie), and the 37th Dolan to stop him. If they fail the Witch Queen will destroy humanity. It’s no secret that Vin Diesel is a huge Dungeons and Dragons fan. He’s been wanting to do a D&D movie for a long time, and while those plans have never come to fruition it looks like The Last Witch Hunter is it. This

film feels a lot like a D&D campaign, but more than that it’s a good fantasy film. The story is a classic battle of good versus evil. The action is fantastic allowing Vin to do what he does best. The effects bring a startling and unique vision of evil to life. Each element is just really well done. The cast is surprising. Michael Caine is not someone I’d expect to see in this kind of fantasy film. Yet having a talent like Caine can only make your film better, which it does, and he has great chemistry with Diesel. Much the same can be said for Elijah Wood as the 37th Dolan. Then there are the relative newcomers Olafur Darri Olafsson, Rose Leslie, and Julie Engelbrect who are great. Vin Diesel has made a career out of playing the brooding hero, and this brooding hero is one of his best. I really like this character. I really like Diesel as this character, and I hope he manages to make two or three of these films. The Last Witch Hunter may be a ‘B’ movie plot, but everything else is an A. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Industry magazine survey lists most and least dependable for 2015 Some interesting news in the automotive industry has cropped up in the last few weeks. Consumers Report released their 2015 Auto Reliability Survey and while it found the usual contenders at the top and suspects at the bottom, there were some surprising results. Their survey is based not only on their own testing (Consumers buys and owns all the vehicles they test) but from feedback from almost 750,000 subscribers on problems encountered during the ďŹ rst three years of ownership. The top ďŹ ve makes were Lexus, Toyota, Audi, Mazda, and Subaru and the bottom ďŹ ve were InďŹ niti, Cadillac, Ram, Jeep and Fiat. The Tesla S luxury sports electric sedan lost its Consumers Report recommended status due to what CR deemed to be an excessive amount of owner reported problems. Interestingly enough, a survey of current Tesla S owners found that 97 per cent would buy another one. Chevrolet seems to be bucking the trend of consumer interest trailing away from electric vehicles that have plagued other automakers due to relatively low gasoline prices in 2015. They recently announced the addition of a second shift to the product plant

that produces the extended-range Volt as well as the Cadillac ETR due to increased demand. Chevrolet and the Roush family of companies have teamed up to ďŹ ll a veriďŹ ed market need. Roush, better known for armoured vehicle design and creation, has taken stock Chevrolet Spark subcompacts and modiďŹ ed them for Dominos Pizza for delivery vehicles. They come equipped with a large warming oven and an interior capacity to hold up to 80 pizzas. Dominos franchise owners in the US can purchase the Spark DXP (Delivery Expert) for $20,000-$25,000. Just in time for football season. If any one car company could be labeled as a die-hard fan of the Back to the Future movie franchise, it would have to be Toyota. First, earlier this year, the design and engineering team at Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luxury make Lexus, came out with a fully functioning hoverboard (it needs a steel or iron plated surface to hover on). It looks remarkably identical to the toy that Michael J. Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character in the movies uses to escape a number of perilous situations and took more than a little effort and resources to bring to life. Now they have created a series of TV spots and short online

Auto Know

videos to promote their hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mirai. Toyota launched production models of the Mirai in Japan at the end of last year and has committed to enter the US and European markets soon. In their ads and videos Toyota enlisted both Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd (co-stars of all three Back to the Future ďŹ lms) to ponder what technologies from their movies actually made it into reality. Check out the various versions on YouTube. Broken or defective, who decides? One of the most common sources of service-counter friction between customers and dealership service personnel is the broken/defective warranty debate. This mostly involves trim items but even these can get expensive to repair or replace. Consumers can basically be sorted into two camps on this issue. The ďŹ rst will readily admit it was their fault and ask for a repair estimate and the latter will

insist that the car manufacturer should be responsible for anything that breaks or fails within the warranty period. However itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job to determine whether a part failed from a manufacturing defect or from an excessive or improper use of the component. This can be a ďŹ ne line to toe. Dealerships are required under their franchise agreements to operate in a manner that is responsible to both the car company they represent and their customers. If their warranty expenses rise too high as a result of claiming anything and everything, they can be subjected to a very harsh audit and chargeback of questionable claims. On the other side of the

coin, if they never give their customers the beneďŹ t of the doubt from time to time, they will lose business. Best advice; be honest and upfront at the counter and if your dog chewed through a $400 seatbelt, or one of the tribe broke a seat handle with a hockey stick, get out the credit card and be prepared to pay.

1975 Pontiac Ventura with a Cadillac 500 V8 the result of years of work Peter Phillips of Mississauga, Ont., purchased a 1975 Pontiac Ventura in 1991 from its original owner to be his wife’s daily driver. Two years later, he had to ﬁx some things. Once he started, he couldn’t stop and the car is now completely rebuilt into its present state. “Not only is it a ‘dare to be different’ car, it’s a ‘low-buck’ car too. Sheet metal was repaired or replaced including stock. To economize, I painted it in my I had to buy. full rear quarters but many other pieces garage. When it was done, I still have “Then I drove it for a year or two but were made from ordinary sheet metal the air compressor and spray equipment it’s hard to drive a screaming red car

and not be challenged on the street – and with a 231 V6, it was embarrassing. So I started looking for a big cube V8. Big block Chevies were too expensive and 455 Buick Olds and Pontiacs were almost as bad. Then I read about the big 500 cubic inch Caddy motors. Get one out of an Eldorado with the rear sump pan and I’d have 500 ft. lbs. of torque. A donor car was found and the swap began. “It’s not an easy swap. Motor mounts have to be fabricated, exhaust headers are made from modiﬁed BBC headers, suspension needs to be altered in a couple of places, steering shaft pushed to the outside and all the other bits and pieces that need to be fabbed for any engine swap. An aluminum rad and electric fan do the cooling. “The engine has been completely rebuilt with Comp Cams cam, springs and lifters, Edelbrock intake and a few subtle distributor and carb changes. A ram air/cold air intake system was purchased from Spectre. The air intakes under the front bumpers are home made. I didn’t

want to cut the hood for a hood scoop. A B&M ratchet shifter changes the gears, homemade frame connectors tie the sub frames together, and a drive shaft loop in case I break it. I estimate the power somewhere in the mid to high 400s for hp but the torque is well above 500 ft. lbs. now. “The interior was completely redone and appears stock with original bench seat.

ENERGY $AVING$! Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energy-efficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/ hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

SNG event provides residents wealth of renewable energy information Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The very first stone on the path to reducing your carbon footprint is behaviour. Sustainable North Grenville, a local community group run by volunteers, hosted a free information night about renewable energy on Oct. 20 at the Branch Restaurant in Kemptville. The first speaker was Kim Scott of Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op. “OREC, which has now expanded to all of Eastern Ontario, is ordinary folks pooling their money to invest in large solar installations,” said Scott. She explained OREC is also looking at branching out into other renewable technologies, such as biomass and geothermal. “We started about five years ago,” said Scott. “We were the first renewable energy co-op in Ontario to have our share offering approved.” The key goals of OREC are to advance renewable energy in the region, secure the energy supply and provide local jobs. “It’s a socially responsible investment opportunity,” said Scott. She explained OREC identifies suitable rooftop owners, sees if they’re willing to host a solar installation, enter into a lease with them and apply for a FeedIn-Tariff (FIT) project. OREC requires a minimum of 50 members within a community before

The second was Adam Cameron of Etrilium Lights Inc. He asked what percentage of the world’s energy usage goes towards lighting. “Around 19 per cent,” said Cameron. He explained the top three

reasons to get LED lights is to save money, long life and brighter light. “LED’s save you money in two ways; through electricity cost savings and replacement cost savings,” said Cameron. He explained you can save $1.50 per month/per bulb by switching from incandescent to an LED. That figure doesn’t include re-

placement cost savings. “If you change one 60 watt bulb to an LED that equals a savings of $232 savings over the lifetime of the LED, at today’s electricity rates,” said Cameron. He asked what the United Nations 2015 theme was. “It’s the Year of Light,” said Cameron. He asked why the government is paying people to change their

lights, through the Save on Energy Program. “Because it’s easier to conserve than produce more,” answered Cameron. He explained one business in Kemptville replaced 70 bulbs to LED, with an 80 per cent rebate from the Save on Energy Program – payback took three months and the business saw a 40 per cent drop in their electricity bill. “That’s a 15 times return on their investment over the lifetime of those LED’s,” said Cameron. For more information about Etrilium, visit www.etrilium. com. The third speaker was Lynne Leblanc, member of SNG, who provided an overview of renewable energy options – what they are, how you can implement them into your home and help determine the best option for particular situations. “Renewable energy is a source that is not depleted when used,” said Leblanc. “So we have solar, geothermal, water, wind and air.” She explained solar is the big one. “Five billion years of free energy and we’re finally learning how to use it,” said Leblanc. She explained there are many options pertaining to solar, including solar PV (photovoltaic) and solar hydronic, which could translate into Micro-FIT, netmetering and off-grid set-ups. She said conventional meth-

ods for heating and cooling, such as oil and gas furnaces, depend on a limited resource. “There’s limited energy efficiency to that box in the basement,” said Leblanc. “There’s only so much it can do. There’s environmental impacts to using oil or propane and prices traditionally rise. But what are we going to do? We still buy it. We see it as our only option. But it’s not. The good news is, we do have a choice and there are alternatives.” She explained geothermal ground source heat pumps can provide domestic hot water. “Typically what happens, for every unit of energy that you put into it, you get four or five units out of the system,” said Leblanc. She said there are different ways to do the loops in the soil – closed loops, closed pond/lake loops and open well-to-well. “This is a good way to use the earth for energy,” said Leblanc. She explained if you are offgrid, they should definitely consider adding a wind turbine. “Wind and solar tend to complement each other,” said Leblanc. “On a beautiful, sunny day, it tends to not be very windy. But on windy days, it tends to be cloudy – so they complement each other very well if you’re off-grid.” She explained another option is low-temperature air source heat pumps. See Renewable page K2

Renewable energy is focus of SNG’s attention From the front

“It takes the heat out of the air,” said Leblanc. “It’s a good way to take advantage of the air around you. So far we’re not being taxed on our air.” The final speaker was Chris Weissflog, SNG member and owner of EcoGen Energy, who discussed the first steps to becoming more energy efficient. “You should change your behavior first, which is conservation,” said Weissflog. “So go around; identify places where you don’t need to use energy, like lights off. And that saves you money without investing any money.” He explained efficiency has two components – passive efficiency, such as more insulation, and active efficiency, like installing an ECM motor for your furnace fan. “I’m going to talk about dollars,” said Weissflog. “I’m going to talk about carbon. We assessed our carbon footprint, in

terms of our house.” He explained heating accounted for 3,400 kg of carbon, domestic hot water accounted for 1,000 kg of carbon, appliances accounted for 1,400 kg of carbon, food accounted for 3,600 kg of carbon and the car accounted for 5,400 kg of carbon. That totals 14,800 kg of carbon. He explained how, by utilizing renewable energy sources in his Passive House build in Merrickville, his family’s carbon footprint has been reduced to 2,400 kg of carbon (for food). “What we are doing is definitely on the cutting edge,” said Weissflog. “There are definitely low hanging fruit (attainable). What we are doing is not cost effective. The lighting is a low hanging fruit and you can see that from the numbers.” For more information about EcoGen, visit www.ecoenergy.ca.

Pat Babin presented an overview of his scoping mission trip to Cambodia in May, 2001, at the North Grenville Public Library on Oct. 22.

schools were closed. Many of the schools were destroyed. So what they did was move everyone into the countryside and set up communes. The sexes were separated; a lot of brain washing was going on. Self-criticism was popular.” He said spies were everywhere. “Children were spying on their parents, if they were still with their parents,” said Babin. “Soldiers were generally between 12 and 17. They were usually uneducated youth and they were told if you become soldiers, we’ll give you extra rations and you won’t have to work – all you have to do is kill.” He said a high school, now a museum, was converted to Security Prison 21 during the Khmer Rouge era. “17,000 entered S-21,” said Babin. “Each prisoner was photographed; tortured. We couldn’t take photographs outside the building because there were mass graves and there were bones sticking out of the ground all over the campus. You’ll notice they called it genocidal center.” He displayed a photograph of a Cambodian women, holding an infant, with a prisoner number on her chest. “Once you go to the killing fields you are never the same person for the rest of your life,” said Babin. “They used to beat children by striking their heads against trees.” He explained it took a long time for a Khmer Rouge leaders to face a United Nations Genocide Tribunal, which was held in 2006. “Four were indicted; there was one conviction,” said Babin. “Cost of the trial was $200 million.” He explained Pol Pot died in 1998. “Never really remorseful for what he had done.”

Khmer Rouge era He said under the Khmer Rouge era, the entire population of Phnom Penh (capital city of Cambodia where he stayed during the trip) was evacuated – displacing two million people. “That’s when Pol Pot (leader of Khmer Rouge) established the year at year zero and abolished currency,” said Babin. “The only reason he kept one bank open – all others were destroyed – was for their dealings with China. China was one of their allies during the war. They needed Chinese currency.” He said the reason they evacuated all the major cities was to ‘cleanse’ the country. “They called it cleansing; they called it purification,” said Babin. “Cities were evil and corrupt toxic environments. So what they wanted to establish was a one class system. No private property allowed. All markets were abolished. The first thing they did was execute all the leaders that were there at the time they took over.” He explained they de-frocked all the Buddhist priests, separated families, including children from their parents. “When they emptied the city, they also emptied the hospitals,” said Babin. “Everyone had to walk and they say there were bodies all The trip along the road.

Babin. He explained UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is very involved in Cambodia. “We also worked with UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund),” said Babin. He said the mortality rate is high – 115 per thousand. “Can you imagine - only 6 per cent of the population has access to proper sanitation,” said Babin. “Too much logging going on.” He explained the books at the National Library were thrown out into the streets during the war. “Begging is common – there are many amputees with no social security,” said Babin. “40,000 lost limbs to land mines – the highest rate of amputees in the world – and most of these land mines came from the United States during the Vietnamese War.” He explained the Canadian Embassy in Cambodia is now closed and if you want information about the country, you have to contact Bangkok, Thailand. He said the scoping mission determined a real need for educational funding. Angkor Wat He said while in Cambodia, all they kept hearing about was Angkor Wat. They decided to extend their trip by two days to see it. “Siem Reap was a small, village community,” said Babin. “But it’s really growing fast because of the temples.” He explained the temples were first discovered in 1863 by a French nationalist. “The temples were abandoned in the 15th century,” said Babin. “At one time there were 750,000 inhabitants. They’ve been removing the foliage. Some they have left alone – like tentacles swallowing the temple.” He explained each ruler built his own temple – the Bayon Temple has 54 gothic towers and 200 smiling faces. He said there are between 1,500 and 2,000 female carvings and no two are alike. “They’re been restoring it for nearly 200 years,” said Babin. “This has been great for Angkor because it’s getting all kinds of funding now that UNESCO has taken over. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.”

To live in a free democracy is not something anyone should take lightly. Pat Babin, Chair of the Friends of the North Grenville Public Library, presented an overview of his scoping mission trip to Cambodia back in May, 2001, complete with photos, at the NGPL on Oct. 22. The mission was on behalf of the Canadian Bureau for International Education. The Cambodian Government asked the Canadian Government for a $20 million grant to create a new elementary and high school curriculum and the purpose of the trip was to determine a real need. Babin was one of three Canadians asked to spend a few weeks in Cambodia; visiting schools, interviewing people and compiling a report to submit to Ottawa.

new, stately facility. Then, images of a tiny, decrepit boathouse floating on the bank of the Tonlé Sap River, which housed a family of five, right beside the hotel – for the purpose of depicting the contrast between old and new. “The kids don’t go to school,” said Babin. “They drink water from the river and their bathroom is on the river.” “There’s a few things we were told when we go to the country; never point your finger or the soles of your feet towards someone,” he said. “That’s the biggest insult you can give them. And never pat children on the head.” He explained Khmer is the most widely spoken language in Cambodia. English has become the dominant second language. “The Royal Palace was not destroyed,” said Babin. “Look at the palace grounds; beautiful architecture. They are very gifted when it comes to sculpturing.” He said during the war there was no royal family and it’s amazing the palace wasn’t destroyed, along with the rest of the Phnom Penh. “You see the old and the new,” said Babin. “The Khmer Rouge burnt most of the schools. He said there are not that many cars in Cambodia. “All different types of bicycles,” said Babin. He explained the life expectancy in Cambodia is 51.6 years – 50 per cent of the population is under the age of 15. “Child prostitution – it’s not as rampant now, but it was then,” said Babin. “HIV was almost out of control then.” He said there is still corruption in Cambodia, as the country builds itself back up from the ashes left behind by Khmer Rouge. “Now this is an interesting place called Zombieland; it’s a small lake just outside of Phnom Penh,” said Babin. “That’s where young people go for their drugs. We visited one the chalets and there were about 14 young people who were completely out of it. What’s interesting is its illegal, but the police ignore this particular area in Phnom Penh.” He said they visited many schools, speaking to school directors. “Schools run on two shifts and a few of them ran on three shifts; there’s a shortage of schools,” said

Residents make compelling case about their neighbourhood jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

A lot severance on Asa Street in Kemptville was disputed by neighbouring property owners during the public meeting for zoning amendments on Oct. 19. “The subject lands are located in an established area of the geographic town of Kemptville,” said Phil Mosher, Planner. “The lot, as it exists today, has been conditionally severed.” The owner of the lands located at 204 Asa Street, Dave Simpson, plans to build a house on the severed lot, with a shared driveway between the new build and the existing house on the property. He explained the application originally submitted for the property was to build a three-unit townhouse. “That was quickly put aside because of the size of the lot; it would just not support that, in keeping with North Grenville’s minimum density targets,” said Mosher. He explained a number of letters of objections from neighbouring property owners were sent to the consent authority. “The subject lands are 684 meters squared,” said Mosher. “It’s an area which is occupied on the west side by an existing

house, a very prominent house in the community – it’s quite yellow, you’ll notice it as you drive by. This house is listed under North Grenville’s inventory of historic structures. As a result of that, staff did request a heritage evaluation of that building to determine if there was any cultural heritage value for that structure.” He explained the property is located 100 meters from the Kemptville Creek, which is a Provincially Significant Wetland. The property lies within the influence area of the PSW (within 120 meters), prompting the municipality to request an Environmental Impact Statement report from the landowner. “Being in an established neighbourhood, staff did request a neighbourhood compatibility report,” said Mosher. He explained the lands are presently zoned residential firstdensity. He said surrounding lots in the neighbourhood vary in size, from 370 meters squared up to a maximum of about 400 to 600. “The frontage varies from 9.14 meters to 57 meters, on some of the much larger lots in the area,” said Mosher. He explained when the municipality looks at severance ap-

plication, staff always consult the Official Plan. “North Grenville’s Official Plan is a very intensive document; it talks about infilling and intensification,” said Mosher. He explained a number of zoning amendments are required, including a reduced lot area and lot frontage, and an increase in the front yard set-back and an increase to the eastern interior side yard. “We expect good governance from our elected officials,” said neighbouring resident Neil Harrington. “The proposal in front of you is to allow by these bylaws the creation of two 37 and a half foot lots. We, the ten surrounding neighbours, did try to prevent this severance down in Brockville earlier this year. We were declined, based on the fact the Official Plan encourages infill. Our Official Plan has no special protection for areas like Old Town Kemptville.” He explained he feels this is an inappropriate use of his neighborhood. “As you know, our neighbouhood consists of old, stately houses on large lots, with lots of trees,” said Harrington. “These are not your average home sizes – these are large square foot

houses on large lots. The North Grenville Official Plan states that 5,000 sqaure foot lots is the standard for residential first density.” He explained Ed Kuhar, another neighbouring property owner, calculated the surface area of his driveway to be only 30 per cent less than the proposed severed lot before council. “In consultation with the planner, I was told there has been no severances on the south side of the river in Old Town Kemptville for the past 10 years,” said Harrington. “This is just indicative of the fact this is Old Town Kemptville.” He explained there had been no new development in his neighbourhood for the past 55 years. “This is not in keeping with historical lot sizes in Old Town Kemptville,” said Harrington. “This lot size is much more suited to an inner-city Ottawa lot, not in old, established Kemptville.” He said areas of growth should be applied to new developments. He explained the fact this amendment required bylaws, rather than minor variances, speaks to the abnormality of the application. “I only have common sense on my side,” said Harrington. “One could only hope you have the courage to reject these bylaws.”

“I live right next door to this property,” said Kuhar. “Its 1.23 acres next to this tiny little lot. When I bought the property 29 years ago, there was a lot severed off my property on the right hand side. After a couple of years of having a developer offering me continuously more money for that piece of property, I decided to have it de-severed, just so this sort of thing would not occur, based on my judgments. I probably forfeited a couple hundred thousand dollars. So I am deadly against this.” Harrington further explained his concern that if this type of severance is allowed once, more neighbouring property owners will follow, with the intent of profiting from their lands. “I appreciate the concerns,” said applicant Simpson. “I am not trying to destroy the neighbourhood.” Mosher explained if council doesn’t pass the bylaws, the matter can be appealed by the applicant to the Ontario Municipal Board, at which point he would have to support the application (subpoenaed as witness), as the planner who recommended the zoning amendments. “The municipality would have to hire external planners to represent them;

pay them whatever the cost would be,” said Mosher. “There’s also the chance Mr. Simpson could come back at council for this, for the costs that he is out.” “So that would be a cost incurred by the taxpayers?” asked Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin, which was answered with an affirmative. Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, said the total cost could be between $10,000 and $15,000 for the municipality. “Am I happy with this? No.” said Mayor David Gordon. “Because of the number of amendments that had to go forward for this to fit into the cookie cutter. Front yards, side yards and everything else. I am not happy. Do I have to look at the municipality as a whole? Yes. But there has to come a time we stand up and say enough is enough. We control our own destiny, as a municipality. I agree Old Town Kemptville has its own flavor. Where do we say stop? Enough is enough.” The resolution to recommend the bylaws to council was not carried, by a vote of three to one (Tobin in favour). The final vote on the matter took place Oct. 26, with a unanimous vote to not permit the zoning amendments for 204 Asa Street.

Committee of the Whole briefs from Oct. 19 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The following is a list of briefs from the Oct. 19 Committee of the Whole meeting. Proposal for exclusive beverage supplier for the NGMC Mark Guy, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, said the original exclusive beverage supplier 10-year agreement with Pepsi expired on June 30, 2015. “An RFP was developed and sent out,” said Guy. “Pepsi and Coca Cola responded the RFP and it was evaluated by four staff members here. It was determined Pepsi was the best proposal.” He explained further negotiations were conducted with Pepsi, to come up with a proposal that would benefit the North Grenville Municipal Centre. “They agreed to eliminate the maximum number of cases sold by our canteen provider and they’ve also agreed to increase the rebate to the municipality from $2 to $2.50 on all cases sold,” said Guy. “We have agreed to give 50 cents of that to the canteen provider to ensure he will buy directly from Pepsi, because the prices from Pepsi based on what the canteen provider was paying are slightly higher.” He said the municipality will be working directly with Pepsi, in terms of the beverage part of the vending machines at the NGMC. “They are subcontracted out to our pro-shop and he has agreed to give those beverage parts of the vending machines back to the municipality,” said Guy. “Currently we’re receiving 15 per cent commission from him. We will receive 30 per cent commission from Pepsi directly.” He explained the municipality has also decided to put a vending machine at Riverside Park, likely on the south side of the Kemptville Pool building. “We’re going to give that a shot for next summer and see how that goes,” said Guy. The proposal was recommend to council.

RESPECT

Civic address conflict Paul Hutt, North Grenville Fire Chief, explained there is a civic address conflict, which poses issues from a 9-11 emergency perspective. “At the north end of South Gower, which runs right from Rideau River Road right to our boundary in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal,” said Hutt. “At the very top, the way the addressing goes, the first number is 3960. If you go south on South Gower Drive, you’ll notice that Arcand Road, the last civic address if 4230 and then all of a sudden, the addresses start to drop into the three digits, to the 999 digits.

From an emergency response perspective – and this is merely a result of prior to amalgamation, that address is at the intersection where boundaries between municipalities used to me, so when municipalities gave out addressing, they didn’t speak to other neighbouring municipalities from a 9-1-1 perspective. So it’s an opportunity to correct this item.” He explained in consultation between the NGFS and Leeds Grenville EMS, it has been identified there has been confusion in the past. “What’s before you tonight will impact 26 residents, but staff is confident this slight inconvenience will be a benefit to the residents, as well as responders in a time of need,” said Hutt. “Simply what we’re proposing is for the 26 residents from Rideau River Road to Arcand Road, just numbering them from the 1000’s, from high to low.” The cost of replacing the civic address signs will be incurred by North Grenville Public Works. The municipality has a change of address package available for residents. “We try to make it as easy as possible,” said Hutt.

The resolution was recommended to council. September 2015 operating report Kirsten Rahm, Accounts Payable, presented the Sept. 2015 operating report to the committee. “The operating and revenue expenses are provided for the first nine months of 2015,” said Rahm. “Within the revenues, the municipality has now received aggregate resources fees, which are $3,300 above the budget estimate of $34,000. Building permit revenues are at two-thirds of the budget forecast. Both the revenue and expense accounts for the sale of water meters for new residences have exceeded budget estimates. At year-end, an adjustment to the inventory will be posted. The equipment repair expenses for both the 2006 and 2009 dump truck are in excess of budget estimates. The longer winter we’ve just had, combined with the older age of these vehicles, resulted in excess wear and tear and greater repair costs. The total Public Works vehicle and equipment maintenance costs are within budget estimates.” She explained the municipality is realizing savings, due to the

street light replacement program of 2014. “As of the end of September, our total street light Hydro costs are just over $24,000,” said Rahm. “At the same time last year, they were already over budget, and we had spent $55,000.”She said the Public Works department is at 109 per cent of budget estimates for gasoline expenses. “We will continue to monitor the trend of rising fuel pump prices for the 2016 budget estimates,” said Rahm. CAO discusses budget survey Brian Carré, CAO, said in preparation for the 2016 budget process, staff has discussed with council a public engagement process, by way of a survey. “I have done some research and have before you a series of questions, or I should say services, that we offer as a municipality, and seek some feedback from members of the public on these services,” said Carré. “Essentially, what we would propose to do would be to invite the public to complete this pre-budget survey and answer the following for 20 key services provided by the municipality; for each service, residents would be asked whether they feel the service should be reduced, maintained, or enhanced. However, in order to maintain or enhance service levels, tax increases may be required.”

He said at the end of the survey, people would be asked to indicate whether they are a resident or business owner and where they get their information about what is happening within the municipality. “Where they obtain information about what is happening within the municipality.” He said the survey should be available online and sent out via regular mail to all residents. “That would be a cost of about $1,300 to $1,500,” said Carré. “This is not a budget line item. However, I would recommend that through a balance that you already have in the council education and training budget, there is a surplus of $3,500.” He explained there are no upcoming conferences or education sessions planned. “With the year-end fast approaching, this would be an invaluable way to engage the public,” said Carré. The committee recommended the resolution to council DWQMS quarterly status report The Drinking Water Quality Management System status report, from the period of July 1 to Sept. 30, was presented to the committee. “There are no surprises for you in this report,” said Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works. “There

OPINION

Parental blunders

othing in life is simple anymore. Whenever you think you have things figured out or settled down, life throws you a curve ball. Always expect the unexpected. Never attempt to plan. I was in Walmart a few weeks ago with my oldest son – I had forgotten to get coffee during my regular grocery shopping trip and popped in for a few things – frozen veggies, diapers, wipes, etc. Typical mom stuff. My son – I have no idea how – ended up guiding me to the toy section. As I walked by, nonchalantly, I noticed a pink play purse – the exact one I wanted to get my daughter for Christmas – on clearance. So I picked it up, examined the package closely to ensure it was the same play purse and put it in the cart. My son asked what I was doing. I told him my plan – to buy the toy now, at half price and save it for her until Christmas. His response: “Well I want to pick a toy for Christmas, too!” “No, Son, this toy is on clearance, which is why I am getting it.” He was mad – told me it wasn’t fair, etc. I was used to it. I don’t spoil my kids, ever. They never get new toys except for Christmas – not even for their birthdays. In my opinion, the birthday party counts as the present. We carried on, meandering down the aisle. Then I noticed a really cool race car track, which stood one meter high. It had lots of loops and jumps and all that cool stuff (my baby boy sometimes doesn’t want to leave

couple of our cows are still drooling. The Farmer took another look at the dosage on the Ivomec de-worming medication and realized he needed to give them about five times what he originally administered during his flying leaps through the herd. You have to spray the liquid on their backs. But first you have to corral them and sneak up on them. It’s a lot easier said than done. Before he headed out to the barn to feed and do chores, I clipped a pedometer on his belt. “We’re going to start counting our daily steps,” I announced. “Why?” he shrugged. “Because we are supposed to walk 10-12,000 steps a day,” I said. “Says who?” I convinced my husband that it was a good way to keep activity top of mind. “Oh and when I get to 10,000 the pounds just fall off,” he said, shaking his head. We got the cows in the barn by bringing fresh hay bales in where they could smell them. Step one, accomplished. Then we pushed them out the door where they were huddled at

daycare because he’s too busy playing with a similar track there). It was also on clearance – half price. What a fateful day. I picked it up, examined the contents of the package and proceeded to put it in my cart as well – also for Christmas. Some of you may be judging my preemptive shopping, but when I see a toy my kids are going to love on clearance, I am not going to pass it up. My son noticed the giant package and once again asked what I was doing. “Well, Son, this is for Herman for Christmas.” He was rather frustrated with me by this time, having picked up toys for both his sister and brother and not him. I gave in – told him to go pick a Christmas present for himself. He made a fine choice – a weird toy that you can stick your hand and face into and then look at the imprint before doing it all again – for less than $10. Score. I told him he was not allowed to play with it until Christmas. The next day – waking up to some grumpy kids – I gave them all their new toys, despite promising myself I wouldn’t. Point proven.

Fall is moving on

Well into the fall season you can still enjoy a calming but cool walk in the woods.

The cow clinic is open for business The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

the entrance to the metal chute or alley with the headgate at the end. “Just hold that bucket of sweet feed on your side of the headgate. When she puts her head through, push the gate lever down and it will hold her head in place.” Theoretically, yeah. But this is a 1500lb Big Betty with an attitude. She wants the sweetfeed, all of it, then she is just going to shake that headgate lever off her neck and shove the whole gate open. And that’s exactly what she did. But by then she had her medication. We are still learning just how strong our barn infrastructure needs to be to hold a cow in place. A lot stronger than it does to hold a sheep in place, that’s for sure. This procedure went on for the next

few minutes – push the cow into the chute, put the bar down behind her bum so she can’t escape, spray medication on her back, release. I ran out of sweet feed after Betty so she was the only one who got a treat. I’m pretty sure the rest of them could smell it and were quite confused about the trick. Finally the only cow that remained to go in the chute was the sickest one of them all. Her chin was swollen with parasites and she had a foamy drool on her lip. But she didn’t like being the only one in the chute, so she took a run at the gate and, with all her strength, put her shoulder into it and busted it open. “She’s the main reason I was doing this today,” the Farmer said, throwing his cane on the ground. “You can still get her,” I encouraged. “Look. She’s right there, in the middle of the crowd around the hay feeder. Just sneak up on her and spray her back.” The problem is, you have to pump the spray nozzle five times to get enough of a dosage. I am reminded of our big Belgian horse Misty, how she used to jump, all 1800 lbs. of her, straight up in the air if

she heard a squirt from a spray bottle. I used to have to spray a cloth with bug repellent and wipe her down with it because she could not stand to be sprayed. The Farmer snuck up behind the black drooling cow with the white face. She munched happily away on the hay, oblivious. It wasn’t the feeling of the cold, wet spray on her back, but the sound of the nozzle, I swear, that sent her reeling away from the feeder. She spun around and the Farmer got her again. She kicked her heels in the air and spun around in the other direction, trying to see where the noise was coming

from. The Farmer kept jumping to stay behind her, out of sight. It was quite amusing to watch. Finally the startled cow took off toward the open pasture, a man in muddy duck shoes struggling to keep up with her, squirt bottle in hand. “Run, Fisher, Run!” I laughed. Mission accomplished, the Farmer limped back to the house, shook off his barn coat and kicked off his shoes. He pulled the pedometer off his belt and handed it to me. It read 5,000. “Well that’s a good start,” I smiled. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

New Horizon Club celebrates Octoberfest

Members of the Good Companions Club met at the Burritt’s Rapids Community Hall on Oct. 21 where they enjoyed a German style meal of sausage in a bun, home made sauerkraut and potato salad with all the trimmings plus pumpkin cupcakes for dessert.

World Hope Canada celebrates 15 years of making a global difference Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

One day, not too many years ago, a baby was left alone, locked in a shed in Swaziland, Africa. He was found by luck, after what could only be guessed as a time period a week, to fend for himself. Unable to escape. He was covered in excrement, crying; he survived by eating the only substance available to him – his own feces. This baby’s name is Piwa – now a nine-year-old boy, who dreams of being a soldier and owning a car, living in a children’s home supported by the Fortress Ministry in Swaziland; one of World Hope Canada’s many partners. “They approached World Hope Canada with a proposal outlining services they provided and asked for support,” explained Richinda Bates, Director of Marketing for World Hope Canada, located in Kemptville. She said the middle-aged generation in Swaziland has been essentially wiped out by AIDS; leaving children orphaned and grandparents to ﬁll the void, where possible. The world feared the whole country would be wiped out by the HIV virus, so the Swaziland government provided free antiretroviral drugs to HIV positive children. “The medication is harsh, so the children need food to take it,” said Bates. The Fortress Ministry built feeding stations to feed children. Piwa, like so

many other children in Swaziland, is HIV positive. “He is absolutely adorable,” said Bates, who met him on a recent trip to Swaziland. “From the minute I met him, I felt a connection. I knew his story; had read about him, but he didn’t know me. I gave him a big hug the ﬁrst time we met. I was there for two weeks and every day he became more open to me – giving me hugs without asking.” While in Swaziland, World Hope Canada built a chicken coop for the children’s home where Piwa lives – providing nourishment and funds from the sale of excess eggs. “His future is now bright, because of organizations like ours and the Fortress Ministry,” said Bates. World Hope Canada, which began in Sussex, NB back in 2000, re-located to Ottawa and ﬁnally settled in Kemptville three years ago, started with a simple philanthropic goal. “Two ladies went to Odessa, Ukraine to check out the report they heard about children living on the streets,” said Bates, who later explained one of the ladies, Anne Medders, was the founding director of World Hope Canada. “What they found was thousands of homeless kids living in sewers and abandoned buildings. They saw the need,” said Bates. “They knew they had to help those kids and never looked back.” Fifteen years later, World Hope Canada now supports sustainable projects focused on the well-being of children in

six countries, including Burkina Faso, D. R. Congo, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Swaziland and the Ukraine. “Our areas of focus are community development, health care, anti-human trafﬁcking, clean water and sanitation and education,” said Bates. “All our initiatives are geared towards providing a better future for children.” “One of the very real concerns in Ukraine is human trafﬁcking,” said Bates, before telling the story of Lena. “She was 12-years-old when she found living on a construction site in Ukraine, eating scraps of food left behind by workers,” said Bates. “Many of the street girls cut their hair or tuck it in their shirts to look like boys so men will leave them alone.” World Hope Canada built Hope House in Odessa, a home for 12 girls who would otherwise be living on the streets and subject to the degradation and danger of prostitution. Hope House Two was recently completely and provides a loving home for an additional 14 girls. “Lena graduated from university and is now an English translator who works at Hope House and elsewhere,” said Bates. “She is married and has a young son.” How she became homeless is the classic saga of parental drug abuse, followed by destitution and abandonment. But she was one of the lucky ones; “We

World Hope Canada is celebrating an important milestone this year – 15 years of supporting children in dire need. From left, Richinda Bates, Director of Marketing, Joy Cox, Controller, Stephanie Gilmer, Executive Director, and Tami Davies, Donor Relations. Missing is Sheldon Gilmer, Program Management & Development don’t turn girls away,” said Bates. “We have foster parents in the Ukraine who take the overﬂow of girls. Many of them stay at Hope House for a short time, sleeping on the living room ﬂoor, until they can be placed.” Sergiy Svystun, Director of World Hope Ukraine, is continuously advocating for vulnerable kids and the need for foster parents and in-country adoption of kids. “It’s a vicious cycle,” said Bates. “These girls, often orphaned them-

selves, are living on the streets, looking for ways to make money, and end up selling themselves for money. They get pregnant, but are not able to care for the child. So they drop them off at the orphanage. We are working hard to break this cycle.” World Hope Canada is a not-for-proﬁt charity with three full-time employees. They raise around $1 million per year to support sustainable projects that beneﬁt children. See World Hope page K14

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

IN MEMORIAM

KINCH, Rheta Elizabeth November 1, 2007 In memory of a loving Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Our Mother is always with us She’s the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street She’s the smell of certain foods we remember, flowers we pick, the fragrances of life itself. She’s the cool hand on our brow when we are not feeling well. She’s the breath in the air on a cold winter’s day She is the sound of the rain that lulls us to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Our mother lives inside our laughter. She’s the place we came from, our first home, and she’s the map we follow with every step we take. She’s our first love, our first friend, but nothing on earth can separate us not time, not space, not even death. Love you Mom Marilyn Terry and Sherry Brian and Marion and families

A place is vacant within our hearts, Which never can be filled. A bouquet of beautiful memories, Sprayed with a million tears. I wish God could have spared you, If just for a few more years. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain. To walk with us through out our lives, Until we meet again. So rest in peace dear Blanche, And thanks for all you’ve done. We pray that God has given you The crown you’ve truly won. Your vacant place no one can fill. We miss you now and always will. Forever missed and loved, Paul, Sarah, Marie and Grandson Cade.

Wild Bird Care Centre helping make future brighter for injured birds Gretta Bradley

Most of us can identify with what the Wild Bird Care Centre in Ottawa does. As children, however misguided, we followed a powerful need to help a defenseless creature. Running into the house, we offered up the small life to our parents, carefully cradling it in our cupped hands. We marveled at it as it lay under a lamp in a bed of tissues. We would hope beyond hope that this time the bald pink bird would still be alive in the morning. The outcome was always the same. Without proper care, the tiny thing would not survive the night. Fortunately, treatment is much more sophisticated than AUCTIONS

that which can be found in a Kleenex box and the prognosis for injured birds is much brighter. The Wild Bird Centre was the obvious choice for the inaugural talk of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) 2015-2016 speaker series, “Naturally Special Places” at Almonte United Church Sept. 17. Patty McLaughlin is one of those fortunate individuals who has taken a passion and made it her life’s work. She is well known to the younger members of the Field Naturalists as the guiding force behind the Young Naturalists. This evening she would speak about her work rehabilitating and releasing wild birds. The audience responded to Patty’s

sense of humour as she introduced us to the unique cast of characters that inhabit the enclosures at the centre. The Eastern Screech Owl, prominently displayed on our MVFN promotional literature, belied its ‘owly’ cuteness. Described as the Houdini of the avian crowd, it is known among those who work with our cagy friends, for pulling maddeningly, puzzling escapes. Although clever escape artists, fortunately for staff their destination is usually predictable. My romantic notion of tenderly, nurturing a baby bird back to health, veered dramatically off script as Patty played video of springtime at the Wild Bird Care Centre. Images of hungry, demanding chicks are expected, but the noise! Nails being dragged down a blackboard at high velocity and maximum volume

doesn’t quite capture it. It struck me that they were not particularly grateful creatures, clambering to be fed every 20 minutes. The average number of times an American Robin has to be hand fed until it is released is 1,350 times. Patty joked as she shared her release-day video ‘fails’ with the audience. She apologized as, instead of birds soaring into the treetops looking back only briefly as they took to the sky once again after months of confinement, they flopped to the ground not quite knowing what to do with their newfound freedom. Bird rehabilitation is not a DIY project. It is, in fact, illegal without proper authorization. The Wild Bird Care Centre operates under permits from both the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Canadian Wildlife Service. If you should find a distressed bird, visit

Centre does it all without funds from governments or corporations. Memberships and donations fund the return of thousands of birds a year to their natural habitats. Should you wish to donate go to their website and click on the “SUPPORT US” button. Their “peeps” will thank you! Gretta Bradley is the program chair of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society AGM set for Nov. 4 Yvonne Helwig

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Nov. 4 meeting will feature local entrepreneur Elizabeth Otonicar, of Creative Gardens Landscape and Design in Westport. Elizabeth will demonstrate how to create exterior winter decorative arrangements using such local fall harvest items as hydrangeas, cattails, and grasses, as well as sprays from such local conifers as white and red pine, balsam and cedar. As Elizabeth puts it, these arrangements will showcase what Mother Nature gives us. Having recently taken over the site of the former Westport Rentals, Elizabeth will be opening a Christmas shop there Nov. 7. The shop will offer a wide variety of Christmas decorations, including

poinsettias, bows and cedar roping. A big fan of Christmas, Elizabeth says she could do it 365 days a year. However, the shop will close in January, re-open for Valentine’s Day and Easter and then open in April as a full garden centre offering trees, shrubs, perennials, mulches, compost and aggregates. The shop will also carry Bahco, a Swedish variety of pruners and Dramm watering systems. The idea behind the shop will be to provide everything a gardener needs in one location. A Red Seal certified chef, Elizabeth worked as an executive sous-chef in various locations in southwest Ontario before returning to Lambton College to study horticulture in 2003. Since graduating, she has worked at Pelee Island

Winery and Gemmells in Smiths Falls. Then she fell in love with Westport and established a business there that allows her to create beauty with stone – granite being her favourite. The society’s Nov. 4 meeting is also its Annual General Meeting. This year, the society will be voting on its new constitution and bylaws, as well as confirming its board of directors. The society is currently conducting a survey to determine interest in an edible tree planting and revitalization program. Questionnaires will arrive soon in area households through the mail and completed questionnaires can be dropped off at the township office in Chantry, or local branches of the Rideau Lakes Public Library. The questionnaire is also available online on the society’s website.

New KDH CEO hits the ground running Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Frank Vassallo, the new CEO of the Kemptville District Hospital, doesn’t waste time. His feet hit the ground running when he entered his new role on Oct. 5. Planning discussions are already underway for a new strategic plan at the KDH. “Most organizations do one every two to three years,” Vassallo explained. The last KDH Strategic Plan was for 2012-2015. “We need to really map out an effective community engagement process,” said Vassallo. He explained the KDH will be tapping into the community’s objectives and needs. “What they feel are priority initiatives,” said Vassallo. “To deliver effective health services.” He explained the KDH Board is not limiting themselves, in terms of types of engagement. “A broad perspective of input,” said Vassallo. “It would be a multiple group approach.” He explained following consultation, the board with go back to stakeholders, to ensure the strategic plan aligns with the community’s needs. “We’re open to new innovative ways of delivering health services,” said Vassallo. He explained the strategic plan will set the course for the hospital over the next few years. “It’s a growing community,” said Vassallo. “We want to make sure we remain a major provider of health services for the region.” He explained the hospital is also preparing for the next cycle of accreditation from Accreditation Canada, coming up in 2016. The KDH currently holds Accreditation with Exemplary Standing. “We’re getting ready; the team is keen to go for Exemplary Standing again,” said Vassallo. “We’re very proud of achieving Exemplary Standing and we’re preparing for another round.” He explained the Ministry of Health has shifted their focus to quality of patient care. “There’s a huge emphasis on patients and families,” said Vassallo. “The ministry is asking all health care agencies to align with that shift. I get a sense it’s not much of a shift for us; we were very strong in patient care already.” He said another priority for the hospital is to continue to build the regional health hub. “Building safety and quality into our health services,” said Vassallo. “Engaging providers in the system, to deliver the care we’ve heard from the community

is a priority for them. Integrated comprehensive care.” He said transportation is a key component of building the hub. “In any rural area, transportation to health services is something that needs to be considered,” said Vassallo. He explained continuing to build on the data measurement system in place at the KDH is another priority moving forward. “I came into an organization that is excellent,” said Vassallo. “Not because it has Exemplary Standing, but because it is an excellent organization; good leadership; good board support; strong foundation auxiliary. The community is behind us.” He said the KDH has a lot of the necessary ingredients to build an effective health care delivering system for Kemptville. “But we need to measure what we’re doing; measure our effectiveness,” said Vassallo. “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” He explained he started out in the health care industry 20 years ago. “I’ve always had an interest in health and in business,” said Vassallo. “So I wanted to work in a field that combined my passion for health with my interest in business. I was interested also in information technology.” He took a Masters of Health Service Administration at Dalhousie University, following a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. “I also did a one year postgrad fellowship at the McMaster (University) Medical Centre,” said Vassallo. “I think threequarters of my projects were in information technology. Back in the early 90’s, it was picking up steam and I ended up doing a lot of work in information technology. That was where I go my first management opportunities. It has been a recurring theme throughout my career.” His role was to take the information needs of management to the programmers, to develop information systems. “Custom designed software programs to meet the management demands of the day,” said Vassallo. Out of his fellowship, Vassallo landed his first management analyst job. “I moved my way up through the management ranks in the hospital to corporate development,” said Vassallo. He did a second Masters in Communications Management at McMaster/Syracuse (joint program). “I always believed in lifelong learning,” said Vassallo. He worked for Ontario MD, a

wholly owned subsidiary of the Ontario Medical Association, which assists physicians’ with the adoption of information systems. “Primarily electronic medical records,” said Vassallo. “When I started there (during the latter part of ’09) we were around 22 per cent adoption among family physicians, and when I finished last year, we were around 85 per cent adoption.” He has also worked for the Ministry of Health for three years during the mid-90’s. “Then I went into the private sector in the late 90’s,” said Vassallo. “I worked for Mitra Imagining, which was bought by AGFA Health Care. I was the Vice President of External Affairs.” He started his own consulting company – Synergy Health Service Solutions – in 2001. “I did consulting for seven or eight years,” said Vassallo. This is his first CEO position. Vassallo, a father of three, was born in Montreal, grew up in Nova Scotia and settled in St. Catherine’s later on in life. “I like it here,” said Vassallo, referring to Kemptville. “I find the people incredibly friendly.” He came to Kemptville back in July and engaged in a conversation with a couple at Tim Hortons. “I just wanted to find out what the community was like,” said Vassallo. “The people I spoke with spoke very highly of the service at the hospital. I was very impressed with the reputation of the hospital. The people spoke for the community.” The search for a new CEO was country-wide, with a total of 69 applicants for the position. A final 10 were selected by the KDH Board for closer review – five were interviewed. “We are very pleased to have Frank join our team and lead us forward into our next phase,” said Lis Angus, KDH Board Chair. “This is his third week and he has hit the ground running.”

GARDENER’S CORNER

All Hallows Evaluation This weekend brings Halloween, a day that doesn’t have the same concentrated energy as when the kids were young. Angie no longer spends the week prior behind her sewing machine fashioning imaginative costumes and I no longer pick out the perfect apples for homemade candy apples. For me, Halloween has always signalled the end of the growing season. So it’s time to do a little review of how we did this year. The things we did right and the things we got dead wrong. That’s right, sometimes gardeners just get it dead wrong. Let me start with the things we got wrong and then move on to the things we got right ( by good planning or good luck). We transplanted a gorgeous fragrant daylily called “Hyperion” because it was being overrun with the invasive obedient plant and Filipendula rubra. What we actually did was transplant all three to a new location. Note to self: Always clean off and separate the roots of a transplant. We started off with the best intentions for our vegetable garden but somehow life situations limit your ability to weed. We still put lots of produce in the freezer and have been eating well this fall but the yield could have been higher had I pulled a few more weeds. And finally, I didn’t treat our fruit trees with dormant oil spray this spring. I just left it too late. We had some apple scab and a minor

R0013510315_1022

infestation of apple maggot. I could have sprayed with some of the nasty stuff I still have left from my days of stupidity but when we got the ducks and chickens, the chemicals were retired. Now the good news. The apple trees produced a bumper crop after Angie’s early spring pruning. In March she was out in foot high snow with her toque and ratcheting loppers. We have put up apple jelly and have applesauce up the wazoo. The trees and shrubs we planted this year are thriving. We are finally getting soil and light requirements refined to an art. Plants we acquired from family and friends have found their happy place. Last week we had a warm fall evening and sat out at the picnic table taking stock. The sun was getting low in the sky. Over all, we were pleased with the season but agreed that we need staff. The gardening shows on TV make it look so easy but they have staff. We really need staff. But then again, you only need staff if you want perfection. I think if we had a perfect garden, it wouldn’t be ours. There would be nothing to remind you that you are fallible, not perfect. Growing is just that. Looking over our gardener’s journal brings it all back. The success and the failure. Not the destination but the journey. A journey I’ve been so fortunate to share. Time to carve our pumpkin! If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Salvation Army Thrift Store volunteers needed Jennifer Westendorp

To begin, I just want to take a moment to comment on last week’s Federal Election and what it means for the City of Ottawa. In my five years as Councillor for Rideau-Goulbourn, we have had the same Federal Government and, in my opinion, the relationship has been a positive one. In that time, the City has worked closely with John Baird, Pierre Poilievre and Royal Galipeau and I would like to thank them for their efforts in working with our municipality. As we move forward with a new Government, I do not expect that relationship to change. I’ve found that local Ottawa MP’s, regardless of political stripe, are very dedicated to this city and I look forward to further collaboration in continuing to make Ottawa a great place to live. Finally, I would just like to congratulate every candidate who put their names on the ballot.

The Salvation Army Thrift Store is the ‘lifeline’ for its social programs within the community. Without funds generated at the store, the Salvation Army would be unable to provide necessary services, such as the food bank, gas vouchers, clothing and various campaigns. “The funds support the work we do at the Salvation Army Community and Social Services,” said Erin Wong, Kemptville Salvation Army Director. “All kinds of programs, like Christmas Hampers and the Backpack Campaign, are funded by the store.” The Thrift Store is short on volunteers. “We ask volunteers to work at the store one day a week, either for half a day or a full day,” said Wong. She explained the greatest need for volunteers are on Saturdays, Mondays and Fridays. The store is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. “When there’s not enough volunteers at the store, it’s hard to process things,” said Wong. “There are so many departments that donations need to be processed for.” On average, five volunteers are required daily for the store to run smoothly. “Five volunteers per day translates into success for the store,” said Wong. Benefits of volunteering include increased self-confidence and physical activity, improved interpersonal skills and providing work experience. She explained 100 per cent of the funds generated at the store stay in the community. “The store also provides low cost items in the community,” said Wong. If you have time to volunteer, contact the Salvation Army at (613)-258-3583.

Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee Our next three meetings of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee will come in short order with meetings scheduled for November 5th, November 23rd and December 10th.

Volunteers are needed at the Kemptville Salvation Army Thrift Store. Snowsuit Campaign deadline approaching The Snowsuit Campaign recently kicked off at the Salvation Army. St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Kemptville donated $2,300 to the campaign, which will provide 33 snowsuits to local children in need. The deadline for requesting a snowsuit is Nov. 6. Those in need of snowsuits should contact the Salvation Army at the number listed

Two local teenagers charged with production of child pornography and voyeurism Grenville County Ontario Provincial Police Crime Unit has charged two local males with child pornography related charges. On Oct. 9, police received a report of a 16-year-old male showing a video of a 14-year-old male and a 14-year-old female engaged in a sexual act. As a result of the investigation, the 14-year-old and 16-year-old males both from North Grenville are charged with production of child pornography and voyeurism.

An additional item on the agenda comes from Councillor Darouze which recommends a change in the speed limit of Apple Orchard Road to 60km/h. The intent of Councillor Darouze is to create some consistency within the Greely road network. All running in connection with one another, Parkway Road is a 60km/h zone, Apple Orchard Road is an 80km/h zone and Gough Road is a 50km/h zone. This proposed changed will achieve that consistency. Oddly enough, Apple Orchard is one of only three roads in Greely with a speed limit higher than 70km/h. The other two are Manotick Station Road and Mitch Owens Road.

The following is an overview of what Merrickville-Wolford Council has been up to over the past few weeks. Strategic Planning Committee Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash said an ad hoc committee has been formed to conduct strategic planning for the municipality. “The goal is to establish the framework for a strategic plan document for Merrickville-Wolford,” said Nash. He explained the committee is comprised of three members of council, along with himself and two residents, who offered their services as consultants. The committee is reviewing the June 2010 Economic Development Plan for the municipality. “A lot of information and research went into the document,” said Nash. The committee is also reviewing the Strategic Action Plan, which was put together in Oct., 2013. “We are also looking at the Merrickville 2020 document, which was done in April, 1997,” said Nash. The committee has been meeting once a week, for about two months. “The whole plan is to try and synthesize what has been done in the past and figure out how to set-up a public consultation,” said Nash. “We want to get all majority stakeholders involved.” He explained the plan will be reviewed by municipal staff and the public for consultation. “The best way to implement the plan and the goals they would like to see accomplished,” said Nash. He said the committee will come out with a long range vision, to ensure all decisions made by council moving forward will be in line with what residents want to see 20 years down the road. “It will be a guiding tool for council,” said Nash. A presentation to council will be made soon. “The committee will be dissolved and become an operations working group,” said Nash.

Budget deliberations are slated to start in November. Reserved OPP parking spot removed from Post Office in village Nash explained council voted to remove the reserved OPP parking spot from beside the Canada Post Office, on Brock Street, in the village. “It adds another parking spot,” said Nash. The reserved sign will be replaced by a sign dictated time restraints for parking (between 15 and 30 minutes). “It’s meant for people to be able to run in and grab their mail or a coffee,” said Nash. “This will benefit seniors.”

Updating municipal website brought up at council Councillor Stephen Ireland raised the issue of updating the Merrickville-Wolford municipal website at council. “We talked about the technology to allow for a library of bylaws on the website, so the public can go on and access it easily,” said Nash. “Our website is roughly five years old.” He explained the update for the website will be considered during the 2016 budget deliberations. Council votes to disallow sidewalk chalk signage in village Merrickville-Wolford Council reviewed the issue of sidewalk chalk signage for businesses in the village on Oct. 13. Due to complaints from neighbouring businesses, pertaining to confusion for patrons, council voted to disallow sidewalk chalk signage in the village. “There is also the fear it will open the door for graffiti,” said Nash. “There are other alternatives for signage.”

Draft questions for councillor interviews selected Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The draft questions for councillor interviews were selected by the Committee of the Whole on Oct. 19 and recommended to council. “Council directed us to follow the Municipal Act, using the clear guide from the Municipal Affairs Guide given during the last election, to determine the roles of councillor,” said Cahl Pominville, Clerk. He explained the Act outlines a representative role, policy making role and stewardship role. “Staff recommended council ask four questions, including an introductory question,” said Pominville, who explained the questions were crafted around the roles outlined in the act –

one question per role. Two options were provided, pertaining to each role, and the committee was asked to select one question from each. The committee unanimously selected questions two, four and six, from the agenda package, following discussions. The first question is ‘take a moment to tell us about yourself and address why you would like to be a member of council in North Grenville?’ The second question selected, pertaining to representative role, was ‘Council may make decisions that not all members of the public agree with. Tell us about a time you were required to make a decision that some people agreed with and others did not and explain how you handled that situation?’ The third question selected, pertaining to

policy making role, was ‘what do you see as the immediate challenges facing the municipality and what are your suggestions as to how to address them?’ The final question selected, pertaining to stewardship role, was ‘one of the roles of Council is maintaining the financial integrity of the municipality. How does your experience lend itself to fulfilling this responsibility?’ Each member of council will be permitted follow-up questions, following the applicant’s answer to the selected questions. Deadline for application submission is Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. The public interviews of final applicants selected by council will be held the week beginning Nov. 9 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.

Cancer Kicking Cousins hold third annual vendor sale The Cancer Kicking Cousins held their third vendor sale at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Saturday, Oct. 24. The family group now consists of three generations all working to help put an end to cancer. All of the proceeds from their event go directly to the Canadian Cancer Society. Last year the cousins raised $10,000. This year they are striving for $22,000 by June 2016. It is truly a family affair driven by the Cancer Kicking Cousins. Here Dolores and Rylee Miller with the help of Bill Wilkinson look after customers at their Maidzz Maille booth.

The Worst Place to Carry A Cell Phone Could smart phones be slowly killing us? Some experts feel we’re living in an Alice-in-Wonderland world if we ignore radiation from these electronic devices. So today, here’s an example of what can go wrong. The Environmental Health Trust’s Newsletter reports an unusual case. A young woman, with no predisposing risk factors for cancer, made a practical decision. She decided to carry her cell phone in her bra. Today with so many cell phones being Dr. Gifford-Jones snatched from people, I give her top marks for ingenuity and increased security. Unfortunately, she developed breast cancer. But what shocked doctors was that the pattern of the cancer lined up perfectly with the shape of the cell phone. This single case does not prove that radiation caused the malignancy. But if I were a woman I would not push my luck. I’d sure choose another location to carry my cell phone. So how serious is this problem? Experts on radiation have warned us for years about “dirty electricity” from cell phones and other electrical appliances. Our homes were originally powered by clean electricity, using a safe frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz). Now, transformers convert 60 Hz to low voltage power for electronic devices. This creates micro surges of electricity that contain up to 2,500 times the energy of a conventional 60 Hz electrical system. In effect, we are subjecting ourselves to dangerous electrical pollution. Dr. Devra Davis, author of the book, “The Secret History of the War On Cancer”, says that cell phone radiation is not only dangerous, but can be lethal. She claims that the biological impact of cell phones is not related to power, but to the erratic nature of the signal which has an adverse affect on DNA repair. In May 2010, the World Health Association (WHO), released a 10 year study into cell phone use and cancer rates. WHO recognized a significant correlation between brain cancer and those who used their cell phone, wireless home phone or WIFI for more than 30 minutes daily. Since everyone, including children, will continue to use cell phones, what can be done to decrease the risk? We can all practice what in Europe is called the “Precautionary Principle” which means using old-fashioned horse sense. Children are at particular risk since they have thinner skull bones making it easier for cell phone radiation to penetrate deeper into the mid brain. They also face a lifetime exposure which places them at greater risk for parotid and deeper brain tumours. Ideally, children should avoid the electromagnetic radiation of cell phones, or use them only for an emergency. Parents should also stop the dangerous habit of allowing children to sleep with cell phones under their pillows, subjecting them to radiation for hours at close quarters. Everyone should turn off cell phones not in use and use the speaker on the phone to keep it away from their ears. Being held just a short distance away can decrease radiation exposure from 1,000 to 10,000 times. Remember that texting with a phone exposes a person to the same amount of radiation as talking on the phone. So use cell phones like porcupines make love, very, very carefully, as it will take years to know the full extent of the danger. This means bras are for breasts, not phones. It’s also prudent not to place a cell phone in a shirt pocket over the heart. And if men want to decrease their sperm count, place it in pants pockets. For years I’ve warned readers about the potential dangers of excessive exposure to X-rays and CT scans. For example, a CT scan of the abdomen produces 500 times more radiation than a single chest X-ray and 1,000 more times than a dental X-ray or bone mineral density test. This is why I’ve urged the government to issue radiation cards so that each person knows their total radiation exposure. I’m also convinced we cannot ignore the danger of electromagnetic radiation from smart phones. It’s the old story of “Caveat emptor”, let the buyer beware. R0053477900_1029

Holiday Train lights up region Nov. 29, food bank donations welcome Staff

The festive lights of the Canadian Paciﬁc (CP) Holiday Train will be making its way into Merrickville, Smiths Falls and Perth this Nov. 29 to raise money, food and awareness for food banks and hunger issues. The show schedule in this region is as follows: Merrickville from 5-5:30 p.m. at 103 East Broadway & County Road 2 on the south side of the crossing near Bay Street, Smiths Falls from 6:30-7 p.m. at the Smiths Falls train station (63 Victoria Street) and Perth from 8-8:30 p.m. at the railway crossing on the south side of Wilson Street. “Year after year,

the Holiday Train brings great talent and memorable experiences to families across our network while raising money for local food banks and food shelves,” said E. Hunter Harrison, CP chief executive ofﬁcer. “Regardless of circumstances, everyone should have access to healthy, nutritious food. The Holiday Train plays an integral role in broadening the conversation around food and hunger issues across North America.” Each year, the program encourages people attending the event to bring heart healthy donations. Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improv-

ing the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America. “CP’s train of lights provides a platform to speak about the needs of North American food banks. This is why we are challenging all our event attendees to reach into their cupboards and donate quality nutritious food items to help raise food for those who need it most this holiday season,” said Katharine Schmidt, executive director, Food Banks Canada. The two brightly lit trains will kick off in the Montreal area on Nov. 27 and 28 on their way to visit approximately 150 communities. The Canadian Train travels west

across Canada to Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Entertainment Holiday Train veteran and awardwinning country singer, Kelly Prescott will team up with Devin Cuddy, and CP’s famed Holiday Train band for the three local shows. Once the Canadian train completes its journey across the prairies and arrives in Calgary, Devin Cuddy will reunite with his father, Canadian song-writing legend Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo and continue the trip with Kelly and the band until they reach the west coast. The schedule is now live at www.cpr.ca/holiday-train. Photo contest

Each year, fans of the Holiday Train follow its journey over social media, posting images of the trains in various cities and landscapes. Details about the contest will be available on the Holiday Train Facebook page. To help make this year the best yet for local food banks, the Holiday Train asks fans to follow the train on social media, invite their friends and family and spread the message about the importance of heart-healthy donations by using the hashtag #HealthyDonations. Since its launch in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more than C$10.6 million and 3.6 million pounds of food for food banks.

Crime Prevention Week in North Grenville kicks off Nov. 1 jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Lock it or lose it. That’s the primary focus of Crime Prevention Week in North Grenville, which runs from Nov. 1 to 7. The key message the Ontario Provincial Police, Grenville County Detachment, are trying to get across is the importance of locking your vehicle. “It has always been an ongoing problem,” said Constable Cathy Lindsey. “We are reminding people to keep their vehicles locked, removing valuables or keeping them out of plain site.” She explained there was a recent string of vehicle thefts on Cranberry Crescent in Kemptville. “A number of vehicles were entered and valuables were stolen,” said Const. Lindsey. She said all of the vehicles entered were left unlocked; creating an opportunity for the culprit(s). “Thefts from vehicles are generally a crime of opportunity,” she explained. “I don’t remember the last time a locked vehicle was broken into.” She said the key message is to protect your property and protect yourself. The Grenville County Detachment of the OPP has been conducting focus patrols recently in the area of Cranberry Crescent, Maric Trail, Dr. Gordon Crescent and Blossom Crescent.

“(OPP) auxiliary members, along with one of our officers, visited every home to check if vehicles were locked and whether valuables were in plain sight,” said Const. Lindsey. “They educated residents on the importance of locking their vehicles.” She explained thefts from vehicles tend to occur in areas where houses are close together, on dark streets. “The culprit(s) hop from one house to the next,” she said. The types of things thieves are looking for include loose change, GPS’s, cellphones and wallets. “Anything portable, so they can quickly move to the next target,” said Const. Lindsey. ‘Lock it or Lose it’ signs will be put up throughout the community during Crime Prevention Week. The signs will be placed in areas of concern, with large parking lots, such as the Kemptville Mall, the North Grenville Municipal Centre, Colonnade Mall and schools. “People are not getting the message,” she said. “It’s frustrating from a police perspective when we see people not wanting to help themselves.” She said it’s important to report thefts from vehicles, as they may be linked to a culprit(s) caught carrying valuables. “We’ve has a number of successful cases where we’ve charged people,” said Const. Lindsey. “We encourage residents to report thefts from vehicles.”

valuables are in plain sight,” she said. “If the vehicle is unlocked, we will leave an educational pamphlet reminding residents to ‘Lock it or Lose it.’” The OPP will also be visiting North Grenville District High School and St. Michael Catholic High School to impart the same message to new, younger drivers. “It starts the conversation; being visible in the public and educating people,” she said.

Proving that blanching works Don Mercer

In a previous article, we discussed the importance of blanching certain fruits and vegetables prior to freezing or drying them. One of the benefits of blanching is that it acts as a treatment to destroy microorganisms on the surface of the product. It’s like a pasteurization process for your fruits and vegetables, if you care to think of it that way. Another reason for blanching is to deactivate naturally occurring enzymes that are found in the tissues of much of the produce we eat. Enzymes are really protein molecules that have what we call “bio-activity” – they are biologically active. They speed up specific reactions which otherwise would proceed very slowly, or perhaps not at all. While these enzymes are not harmful to the consumer, they can cause deterioration of food quality with time. A good example of this is the discolouration of cauliflower which turns brown, purple, or black due to the presence of an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase. By plunging the cauliflower florets into boiling water and holding them there for several minutes, the polyphenol oxidase enzyme loses its bio-activity and can no longer promote the reaction that leads to these undesirable colours. What I would like to do now is prove to you that blanching does work and re-emphasize the critical role it plays in maintaining quality when processing fruits and vegetables that are prone to these enzymatic reactions. To do this, we will consider sliced carrots that we intend to freeze. Carrots and many other garden crops produce minute quan-

tities of hydrogen peroxide as a by-product of their metabolism while they are growing. If the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide was allowed to increase unchecked, it could become problematic to the plant. In order to prevent the build-up of hydrogen peroxide, these plants produce a peroxidase enzyme to convert the peroxide to water and oxygen, which are harmless. The peroxidase enzyme itself is easy to detect, so we are looking at it, even though it may not be a serious problem in quality degradation. In this simple experiment, which you can do at home in your kitchen, all we need is a carrot; a bottle of hydrogen peroxide (3%), which you can buy at the pharmacy or dollar store; and a few basic kitchen utensils. To prove that the peroxidase enzyme is present in the tissue of the carrot, cut three or four thin slices from your raw carrot and place them in a shallow bowl or saucer. Being careful not to spill any of the hydrogen peroxide solution, gently pour some over the raw carrot slices. After a short time, you should see tiny bubbles clustering around the sides of the carrot slices. These are oxygen bubbles that have been generated by the reaction of the peroxidase enzyme with the hydrogen peroxide solution. Since you did not add any enzyme to the carrots, it had to have been present naturally. You have basically flooded the carrots with hydrogen peroxide, but that doesn’t matter. The enzymes kicked into gear and started doing their job to rid the system of the peroxide. For blanching, take three or four thin slices of raw carrot and put them in a heat-resistant container like a coffee mug (don’t

use your best china for this!). Pour some boiling water directly from the kettle into the mug to half fill it. Using a fork, stir the carrot slices to improve their contact the hot water and prevent them from sticking together. You need to blanch the carrot slices for about three minutes. Bring the kettle back to boiling, and after a minute or so into the blanching process, pour the water out of the mug. Use the fork to prevent the carrot slices from escaping. Then, quickly refill the mug with the fresh boiling water. In this way, the temperature of the water will not drop too much. After blanching the carrot slices for three minutes, pour off the hot water and cool the carrot slices under cold running water. This will stop the blanching process. Now you can test your blanched carrots to see if the peroxidase enzyme is still active. Place the slices of blanched carrots in a shallow bowl or saucer. Carefully pour some peroxide over these slices and look to see if there are any bubbles. If you have done the blanching properly, there will be no bubbles. This indicates that you have successfully deactivated the peroxidase enzyme. Hopefully, this little experiment will prove to you that blanching is an effective method of deactivating enzymes. Since it worked with the peroxidase enzymes in the carrots, it will work with other enzymes as well, such as those responsible for the discolouration of cauliflower.

Kemptville 73’s drop two this week Brian Wilson

On Wednesday, October 21, Kemptville travelled to the Jim Durell Complex in Ottawa to take on the Ottawa Junior Senators. Ottawa is currently sitting on the top of the Yzerman division. The Sens jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. In the second, they added one more before the 73’s were able to break the ice. Just over halfway through, Tyler Beauparlant set up Matt Titus for his first CCHL goal. Trailing 4-1 entering the third, Jake Gaudet and Jack Hale assisted Dean Kiriacou’s goal to make it 4-2. As Kemptville started pressing, Ottawa scored a

short-handed goal to bring it to 5-2. They added another one to win the game by a 6-2 margin. Dean Kiriacou was named the games’ third star. On Friday, October 23, the 73’s faced another road game. This time their travels took them to the Robert Hartley Complex in Hawkesbury. In a repeat of last week’s game between the same teams, it was a 2-2 tie fifteen minutes into the third period. In the first, the teams exchanged goals. Tyson Kirkby scored his first goal of the year from Matt Titus and Liam Watson. We saw the same thing in the second, only this time the goals were 17 seconds apart.

Did you know there’s also national and international news on our website?

Titus scored for Kemptville. Getting the helpers on that goal were Tyler Beauparlant and Quinn Wichers. The score remained 2-2 until 16:21 of the third period when the Hawks erupted for four goals before the final buzzer. A very good game went down the tubes very quickly in the 6-2 loss. Matt Titus was selected as the second star of the game. Kemptville plays three games this week. On a rare Tuesday night game, the Gloucester Rangers come to North Grenville and are hoping to end their six game losing streak. Meanwhile, the 73’s are hoping the Rangers are just what the doctor ordered.
