School board marks official opening of new Kemptville Public School BY ASHLEY KULP

Surrounded by Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) representatives, staff and students, the new Kemptville Public School (KPS) was officially christened Oct. 26. KPS began accepting students at the start of the school year Sept. 5, at its new 44,390 square foot location on County Road 44, moving from its former home on Reuben Crescent. The afternoon ceremony in the school’s open concept Learning Commons area was kicked off with a traditional Indigenous opening address by Judy Montgomery, which included a drumming demonstration. Superintendent Phil Dawes served as the MC. “After many years of hard work, we have a new facility we can all be proud of in which our students will thrive,” said KPS principal Tracy Staples. Looking around the space, UCDSB board chair Jeff McMillan noted that the long road to get to the new school was worth it. “There’s nothing more wonderful than to walk into a building like this and call it your new home,” he said, stating that this structure will serve the North Grenville community for 40 to 50 years into the future. “We at the Upper Canada District School Board are incredibly proud of this building,” McMillan added.

Conference examines lasting impact of Protestant Reformation’s 500th anniversary by desmond devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
It makes for a great story. And as powerful religious images go, the image of Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk at the University of Wittenberg, Germany, nailing his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg’s Castle Church, on Oct. 31, 1517, is an endearing one – even if the story is, likely, apocryphal, like George Washington cutting down a cherry tree. However, Luther did indeed write down 95 theses and sent them along to Archbishop Albert of Mainz (according to Matt Steinglass, writing in The Economist magazine), which essentially started the ball rolling. But for Protestants the world over, that date still, for them, marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation, and the schism between Protestants and the

The painting “Martin Luther’s 95 Theses” (1872), oil on canvas, 85 x 72 cm, by Ferdinand Pauwels (1830-1904). While the story of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church door is likely a legend, Luther did compose this work, and it marks what many believe to be the start of the Protestant Reformation, and the start of the scism between the Roman Catholic church and Protestant churches, 500 years ago.

Roman Catholic Church. Locally, a “Reformation 500 Conference” was held at the Community Health Centre, 2 Gould St., in Smiths Falls, on Saturday, Oct. 28. Rev. Kenneth MacDonald, of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing), was one of the speakers that day, at the tail end of his six-week visit to Canada. He was due to return to the Scottish island of Lewis on the west coast on Halloween, and he reported the conference “went well,” with about 40 people in attendance, some from as

far away as upstate New York. “We were quite pleased with the turnout.” MacDonald said that the “main thrust,” of his speech was about the “five solas,” guiding ideals of Protestantism: 1. Christ alone; 2. Faith alone; 3. Grace alone; 4. Glory to God alone; 5. Bible (scripture) alone. “Luther was the beginning of our change,” MacDonald said during a telephone interview on the morning of Monday, Oct. 30. The church in Rome had been “abusing its privileges,” granting indulgences, which Joan Acocella, writing in this week’s edition The New Yorker, wrote was “a kind of late-medieval get-out-of-jail-free card used by the church to make money.” She further explained that when “a Christian purchased an indulgence from the church, he obtained – for himself or whomever he was trying to benefit – reduction in the amount of time the person’s soul had to spend in Purgatory,” a place Christians believe that souls stay in a state of limbo after

death, not Hell, but not Heaven either. When Luther visited Rome himself, the only time he left Germany, “he was very disappointed” with what he saw in the Eternal City, with its grand palaces, decadence, indulgence, and expensive art, and the corruption that went with it. “(There was) a lot of corruption,” he said, before adding that that “was not to say,” that there is not corruption to be found even today in Protestant churches. (Purgatory itself is a concept contested by Protestants. Purgatory is not mentioned in the bible, according to Acocella.) However, MacDonald noted that Luther’s break with the Catholic hierarchy was not total. “He was, himself, a Catholic,” said MacDonald. “He held on to some of these,” beliefs, even after his break.

OH! Tourism Summit celebrates culture and community in Ontario’s Highlands More than 100 delegates gathered in front of the red curtain at The Village Playhouse in Bancroft on Oct. 23 for a community event unlike any other. OH! Tourism Summit, the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s seventh annual Tourism Conference & AGM, packed the house that day, shaking up the traditional “conference vibe” and setting the stage for a unique program that placed tourism, community and culture in the limelight. The day began with an official Land Acknowledgment and FourDirectional Ceremony in honour and respect of the land, plants, animals, stories and Indigenous Peoples of the unceded Bancroft region, which is located in the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg. Algonquin Elder, Ada Tinney, led the ceremony, along with Karen Moon Beam (Warner), acknowledging the ancestors and spirits of the territory and thanking Indigenous peoples for taking care of this land and for sharing it with newcomers and those who have the opportunity to work in this community. The ceremony also incorporated smudging, an offering of tobacco to Elder Ada, a drum song and an opening prayer. “We are so honoured and grateful for such a special and important beginning to OH!

lands and waterways upon which we guide visitors. It allowed us to approach the rest of the day with an openness to explore possibility and learn from one another.” The program included OHTO’s
Annual General Meeting, during which Whiting encouraged the Ontario’s Highlands tourism community to rally together to inspire new visitors to the region using the newly launched Come Wander brand platform, which she referred to as a regional “team jersey”. A keynote by Chris Williams, vice-president of digital assets with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA) outlined the secrets to making an impact on digital channels, such as focusing on only a few social channels at a time, and, in the afternoon, OHTO’s marketing manager and tourism development co-ordinator explained how to build a destination story from product to promotion. In the afternoon, a group of business owners and tourism champions from across the region took part in a panel discussion. Speaking directly to their peers, who understand the specific challenges of a rural tourism landscape, the panelists discussed what drives them and offered real-life tips for turning their ideas into reality, such as community partnerships. “If I don’t have a good reason for saying no, I usually say yes,” said Andre Rieux of Pakenham’s Cartwright Springs Brewery, who has collaborated on a dark dining event with 2 Grands Piano Bar and

a soundscape experience with Wilderness Rhythms. The Hastings County Tourism Awards were a perfect ending to the day, recognizing the achievements of the local tourism community. “It was wonderful to see many of our tourism operators – even those who live and work hours away from Hastings County – stay into the evening to applaud the hard work of their colleagues,” says Whiting. Tweed and Company Theatre took home the award for Tourism Champion of the Year; the Municipality of Tweed’s Farm to Table: Canada 150 Community Dinner won Festival of the Year, and Nancy Hopkins of Country Roads Magazine was named MVP of the Year.

REFORMATION
From page 2
the clergy over the ordinary people.” Before then, “the clergy were (seen as) special people, or (at a) higher level than ordinary people.” A priest’s hands, for example, were considered to be sacred ground, as they touched the communion wafer, which Catholics believe to be, through the concept of “transubstantiation” to become, during the mass, the literally body of Jesus Christ. Once people no longer felt they needed the intercession of a priest, that gave many the feeling of “emancipation,” in other areas, said MacDonald. Before the reformation, “people were terrified of offending the church,” especially since the church was so intertwined with the state in so many aspects of civil life, like education. There were other technological advances which were shaking things up too, such as the invention of Guttenburg’s press, which made the bible available to thousands of Christians. “The bible became primer,” for many people, said MacDonald, since, at the time, it may well be the only book that a family would have at their home. In an interesting parallel to Saint Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, MacDonald himself started his working life as a carpenter, before coming a Christian in his 30s (though he said he was raised in a Christian home.) He spent five years in South Africa doing missionary work – which coincided with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in February of 1990. “It was an interesting experience,” said MacDonald of being in South Africa at that historic time, another time of upheaval, like the reformation. “He (Mandela) could’ve caused a bloodbath,” said MacDonald, but, “he showed good restraint,” which speaks to his legacy. MacDonald then returned to Scotland where he served as a minister before retiring last year.

Local voices The conference also heard speakers from closer to home as well, including Rev. Kevin Carter of Hope Presbyterian Church in Kingston. When asked what impact the ref-
Kristine Geary’s
ormation continued to have 500 years later, Carter laughed and said, “that’s a huge question!” before answering that “in its immediate fashion, the reformed church is always reforming.” Like MacDonald, Carter also asserted the “solas” points of Protestant theology (Christ alone, grace alone, et cetera), and, as Protestants, they are “always struggling to maintain a true biblical understanding.” One of the immediate effects of the reformation was “stirring the church up,” as, many Protestants felt, that the Roman Catholic Church had “fell back into tradition.” Carter hastened to add that traditions are “not necessarily bad,” but that there have been times when the “church takes over in matters of faith.” One example is transsubstantion, which Catholics are required to believe in, but Protestants do not, to varying degrees. Anglicans, for example, still use communion, but as a tradition, while some Baptist churches will have a communion table, but more as a memorial. Reconciliation There are many bible verses about reconciliation, such as Ephesians 2: 1422, where it is written that “In Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross.” When asked about Protestants and Catholics reconciling in the future, Carter said that, for the “universal church…there are things that do connect us. We do find commonality.” While Jesus is at the centre of the Christian faith, Carter said that differences between denominations grow greater when it comes to interpreting scripture. “We recognize that we are not going to be truly one until the Lord returns,” he said. “This side of Heaven, we will have our differences.” After the reformation, with the power of the church in Rome diminished, there was also, according to Carter, “a clearer understanding of the differences between church and state,” he said, something that echoes into modern western civilization today. But, even there, he explained that God created three states: family, church, and state, and that “each one has a role within

society.” However, in the 500 years of the reformation, the idea of the “Lord’s sovereignty over society…has gone. We live in a more secular world.” Another change brought about by the reformation has been “a greater worldwide zeal for evangelism,” where the bible was brought out from Europe to places like
Africa and Asia. He stressed that evangelization differed from colonialism, but evangelization followed in its wake. Belief in Christianity is on the wane in some part of the world, and there may be a need for another “renaissance. It will take another revivalism…to bring a greater awareness of 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com God.”

Sticker shock remains
A
s much as it’s nice not to have to pay for a Drive Clean test these days, there’s still a lingering odour associated with the annual licence plate sticker renewal fee hikes with which Ontarians had to deal over the course of several years. Perhaps it can be argued that paying $120 for the privilege of operating a vehicle for one year is reasonable, and maybe we should be thankful there is no price hike this year or next. We once again note the efficient service offered at the privately run Service Ontario outlet in downtown Prescott. And in fairness to the government, we acknowledge that the time it takes to actually renew a sticker in person has definitely decreased — assuming all of the information needed to complete the transaction is readily available, of course. One of the customers who was in the short lineup when the outlet opened on Saturday morning observed that motorists are actually paying more for the privilege
of keeping their vehicles on the road. The drive clean fee of $30 plus tax is no longer paid by the vehicle owner every two years, but that is offset by the amounts by which the sticker renewals have increased. We’ve stated it before and we’re going to mention it yet again: most Ontarians are willing to pay reasonable rates for goods and services and accept price hikes if and when they can be justified. Many of us are unable to comprehend how hiking sticker renewals by $46 over a five-year period is fair. Unless the province can demonstrate that charging $74 in 2012 was woefully inadequate, the obvious conclusion that can be drawn is that the multiple increases add up to nothing more than a tax grab. We can only hope that the extra revenue generated by driver and vehicle fee hikes is actually going for much-needed highway and infrastructure maintenance and improvements as the provincial government has indicated.
Father believed there was always a solution for everything It had been a hot summer. Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day. But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in. The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the

day was sunny and warm but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with drifts of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long way off. Mother, I knew, was wor-
hot summer, just in case we let in the heat. Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to protect it as much as possible from the sun, and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust was dragged from the sawmill to cover the ice. The big black tongs hung on a spike outside the building, and only Audrey or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed. And now, Father said, it looked like we might run out of ice before the Bonnechere froze over. Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing to prove it had ever been there. My job was to emp-
ty the basin of water that piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the ice house was empty. And the fall dragged on. The leaves had turned, fallen, were raked up and burned. And each

Reader questions why MP singles out Bill C-45 in household mailout DEAR EDITOR:
As a resident of the federal riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, I recently received the householder mailing of our MP, Scott Reid, in which Mr. Reid asks his constituents to vote on Bill C-45 (The Cannabis Act) as a means of determining how he, himself, will then vote. In other words, Mr. Reid says he will

Reading. So why this referendum now? What is so notably pressing about the marijuana issue that Mr. Reid feels a need to be led by his constituents in terms of his vote, as opposed to any other issue? Surely there is more pressing public interest legislation that he might ask for his constituents to weigh in on (climate change-related, for example). And for that matter, why not hold a referendum to help prioritize the demonstra-
bly major issues, then ask for constituents to vote on every one? Since first elected to the House of Commons in 2000, Mr. Reid has utilized “constituency referenda” six other times, on matters concerning (in order) endangered species, terrorism, same-sex marriage, abortion, assisted dying, and electoral reform. Three of those times, over 2001-2005, were when the Liberal Party held power, and the last two times were in 2016 with the Liberals again in power.
Which begs further questions: In the nearly 10-year period Mr. Reid’s Conservative party held power (2006-2015), why did he ask his constituents only once for their guidance on how he should vote (in that case, on the hot-button abortion issue)? Is this technique something he likes to do while sitting with the Opposition, and something he was shy to do as a member of the governing party? Rob Rainer Tay Valley

knew, as soon as our feet hit the floor, the nice fall days were over. It would just be a matter of time before winter would close in around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away. I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil and my entire family would either die of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried. He, as always, had a solution ... one that had been used on that farm for three generations. Out in the summer kitchen
was an old table that held cans of paint, bits and pieces of wood, and other things which didn’t seem to have a home. Father moved it to the centre of the floor, took four empty tin cans, filled them with coal oil, and put one under each leg. Mother covered it with a worn piece of oilcloth, and that table became our “icebox.” Mother, whose concern was that a mouse would get onto our food, was assured by Father that no mouse could climb a table leg over a can of coal oil. And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept

well chilled until used in a meal. No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house. There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere. Father was right. If you use your head, there is a solution for just about everything. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Nov. 18 Snow Ball raises funds for Merrickville-Wolford food cupboard The Snow Ball, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Merrickville Community Centre is the first of three events being held by the hungertour for the upcoming Christmas season. With twinkling lights and snowflakes hanging all around, the community centre will be transformed into a magical land of music and dance. It will be a night you won’t soon forget. The artists’ high energy and originality all will leave you wanting more. Organizers have put together a mix of very talented local musician strung together in one amazing show. I can’t say enough about the talent you will find under one roof. Please come out and support the local food cupboard in Merrickville-Wolford and bring a non-perishable food item if you wish. Make sure to be wearing you dancing shoes. Last year’s show was sold out and this year’s lineup is even better, including Maria Hawkins (a.k.a. The
Blues Lady of Ottawa). Maria reaches deep into her own experience of poverty and hardship to deliver vocals that are powerful, passion¬ate and authentic. And it’s not just blues the lady sings; Maria mixes it up with elements of R&B, funk and soul. All that, and a back-up band packed with virtuoso players driving the beat right to your feet! Also performing is Anna Ludlow. Nothing makes the toes tap like a Cape Breton jig, and nobody spins one out with more joy or precision than Anna Ludlow. Her love of Celtic-inspired music comes straight from the Nova Scotia heartland where she grew up and learned to play. Get ready for a high-energy performance filled with slick riffs, sweet songs, and a little step-dancing too! Time to rock it out, people. Sophia Radisch is an award-winning, Ottawabased actress and musician who’s been writing and per-
forming since she was 13. She uses a Gibson guitar and Marshall amps to produce a sound that is, at once, nostalgic and original, roughedged and sultry. Don’t miss this chance to see one of Canada’s most exciting upand-coming musical talents. Last, but certainly not least, is Ali McCormick … a singer/songwriter with her feet firmly planted in familiar soil. The “Lioness of Lanark” (so named for her thick mane of strawberry-blonde hair) brings that country feeling to the night’s musical menu. Her songs are honest, earthy and beautifully crafted. What a line-up! And only $30 per person. Tickets are available at Hungertour. com, the Village Bean Coffee Shop on St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, and at the Merrickville Book Emporium. Show time is from 7 p.m. to midnight, with all the proceeds going to the Merrickville Food Bank.

We want to show others what Smiths Falls and area people can do and offer,” she says. She admits the organizing is stressful, but loves every minute of “bringing all parts of a wedding to one event.” Some show-goers will take what they’ve seen at the show, go home and create their own day; others will go all-out and make use of the vendors and ideas presented.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s stay in Saranac Lake intriguing story the mountain town that currently bills itself as “The Adirondacks’ Coolest Place.” I doubt Stevenson or his family would dispute that claim either. They spent the frosty winter of 188788 in Saranac Lake. How the author of such literary classics as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ended up in the remote mountains of upstate New York is well explained during a visit to the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial Cottage in Saranac Lake. The Stevenson Society, based in the town, claims to own “the world’s finest collection of Stevenson lore.” The extensive collection is now housed in four of the seven rooms the author and his family rented from the Bakers, a prominent local family for whom the nearby Baker Mountain is named. I’ve known about Stevenson’s connection to Saranac Lake and the museum devoted to his fascinating life for many years. It’s a place Kathleen and I had always meant to visit but something else inevitably got in the way.
Reflections By Jeff maguire
Until two weeks ago, that is! The museum is seasonal (July 1 to Columbus Day) but the website says it is open year-round by appointment. We were on holiday, staying in nearby Lake Placid. I made a telephone appointment and on Oct. 20 we spent a delightful hour at the Stevenson cottage, guided by the live-in curator Michael Delahant. He’s a delightful chap and a fount of knowledge about Stevenson’s life in general and his winter in Saranac Lake in particular. Delahant, his wife and their dog live in the section of the house not occupied by the museum. He has followed in the footsteps of his late grandfather and father, who were both curators of
the museum. Not surprisingly, Delahant is also the head of the Stevenson society, whose tiny office is located on the second floor of the historic structure. The oldest part of the residence was rented to Stevenson, his American-born wife Fanny, his mother, one of his stepsons and a servant. That section, which dates from 1855, is believed to be the oldest structure still standing in Saranac Lake. We had the benefit of a personal tour and Delahant’s intimate knowledge of the subject matter meant we learned a great deal in 60 minutes. Health problems The Edinburgh-born Stevenson inherited a tendency for coughs, breathing difficulties and fevers which, at the time, was referred to as “a weak chest.” Ill health dogged him throughout his life. He regularly travelled to warmer climes in France in an effort to recuperate. Stevenson and Fanny married in California in 1880, where he had also gone in search of better

health. Back in Scotland and England, he tried in vain to locate a place suitable to his delicate condition. Eventually, the Stevensons settled in Bournemouth on England’s south coast. Following the success of Jekyll and Hyde (released in January 1886), the writer’s reputation grew and his financial situation was also much improved. Stevenson decided to take his physician’s advice and find a completely different climate. In the fall of 1887, the family sailed for New York City, bound for the mountains of Colorado. Delahant told us that by the time they arrived in New York, Stevenson was so sick that they sought a closer refuge. Saranac Lake and its pure mountain air were recommended. They travelled there by train, arriving on Oct. 3, 1887. He remained there until April 18, 1888, although his wife found it so cold in the winter that she visited the

My wife and I travel to the picturesque Adirondack Park in upstate New York once or twice annually. It doesn’t matter what time of year we choose because the mountains, lakes, rivers and ponds of the region are breathtaking all year round. I could easily reverse that last thought and say “breathgiving” instead. That’s because the fresh, clean mountain air drew people to the Adirondacks for health reasons for many years. If he was still with us, one famous person who would wholeheartedly support my thoughts about the fresh air in the Adirondacks is the late, great Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Over the years, I have written about some of the many fascinating true-life stories that have emerged from what is perhaps the most desolate, but also the most beautiful, region in expansive New York state. However, until now I have not outlined the intriguing story of Stevenson’s six-month stay in Saranac Lake,

It’s a season of premiere productions at Full Circle Theatre When Daniel Rover Singer’s A Perfect Likeness opened at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre just after Thanksgiving, it was the start of an entire season of premiere productions at “the little theatre that could.” A Perfect Likeness was the Canadian premiere of Singer’s script and the production was acclaimed by playgoers as one of BDP’s best ever, with one reviewer summing up the amateur show with “This play would shine on the professional stage anywhere!” But things move quickly in theatre. A Perfect Likeness is gone and Perth’s original community theatre is now well into rehearsal for something totally different: Cinderella in the premiere of an all-new “English panto” style script. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) doesn’t usually do children’s theatre, but there is a special reason for this one and the group will be offering special familyoriented prices and show-times, with an emphasis on matinee performances to allow parents to bring the little ones. What is “panto”? Well, it’s a centuries-old English theatre tradition of
comic fairy-tales, usually performed around the Christmas holiday time. The jokes are broad, the pace is fast and men play women’s parts – while women play men’s. There is plenty of colour and music and fun for the kids, but also a lot of laughs for the adults, too. The costumes are wild and the show all about entertainment. BDP’s cast of nine are “having a ball” (Get it? Cinderella’s Ball? No? Well, please yourselves.) as they throw themselves into the “panto” spirit. It’s big, it’s broad, it’s fast, it’s silly and it’s full of fun for anyone from three to 93. From the mean stepsisters and stepmother (played by Ian Jenner, Brian Atterbury and Joe Laxton) to the Fairy Godmother (BDP newcomer Ashley Pitcher) to Cinderella herself (Miranda Wilson, in a role very different from her part in last summer’s Lysistrata), all of the fairy tale’s familiar characters are there, along with some “panto-only” characters, like Buttons, Cinderella’s best chum (Tyler Street, last seen on BDP’s stage in The Last Deadman in 2015).
So why is BDP doing a kids’ show like Cinderella? Because this premiere is the “front stage” part of the group’s February “backstage” murder-mystery farce, Panto Can Be Murder. Yup, it’s another premiere production and the audience can find out what was happening behind the scenes at December’s Cinderella panto – with the same real-life actors playing the make-believe actors who were playing the parts in Cinderella! It, too, is a fast-paced, uproariously funny show that gives a poke at backstage comedies, English murdermystery thrillers and panto, itself. And there’ll be special ticket prices for those who can produce their tickets to Cinderella. Another Canadian premiere follows in April, Lauren Gundersen’s The Taming. Gundersen is fast gaining a reputation as one of the U.S.’ finest playwrights and The Taming is part of the reason. It pits American left and right against each other, in the form of three women trapped in a hotel room in Georgia. Where it goes from there is a whirlwind of politics (and big laughs)
that is as up-to-date as a Trump tweet. The summer features a full slate of premieres of new adaptations. June will see the first production of a new twoact version of the most successful farce of all time. Charley’s Aunt, by Brandon Thomas, ran more than four years on its London premiere, when 30 performances was considered a smash hit – it outran The Importance of Being Earnest by three-and-a-half years! There is a theory that it has never been off the stage since its first production in 1892 – it has been running somewhere in the world ever since. BDP’s two-act version is tighter, faster and still as full of fun as the long-running original – just an hour shorter! July is a premiere in a more limited sense. F.C. Burnand’s Box And Cox is a one-act play that is another longrunning, hilarious comedy from the 19th century. BarnDoor Productions is teaming it with its “unauthorized” sequel, Box And Cox, Married And Settled, by J.S. Coyne in what is, we believe, the first ever such pairing. We’re not sure why, because it seems a natural, but
the result is a full evening of big laughs that will keep the July heat at bay. All of this is completed with the August premiere of another new adaptation of a hundred-year-old, possibly unproduced play. In 1917, H.F. Rubinstein and Clifford Bax wrote a speculative play about William Shakespeare’s life, based on what was then known about him – which was about ten things. BarnDoor’s new adaptation has expanded that play based on some of the thousands of things that we now know about him and created a new play entitled Willm Shaksper. That’s not a typo – it’s the way Shakespeare’s name is spelled in three of his existing six signatures. It’s a look at five episodes in the Bard’s life and how he may have developed as a man – not as a “bard.” All of that is happening at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Cinderella runs Dec. 1, 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. For more information and to order tickets, visit www. barndoorproductions.ca or call 613267-1884.

The Continentals to perform Nov. 12 Remember that guy Dennis Staples? He’s headed for The Station Theatre Sunday, Nov. 12. He and his band The Continentals will be there for a shindig with all proceeds going to The Smiths Falls Food Bank. The Continentals were formed in high school and have been together since 1964. The five original members were Guy Allard, Bill Bowes, Paul Hanrahan, Bob Milliken, and Staples. Bowes and Milliken have passed away and the two new members are Art Lee and Gary Edwards. They’ll be joined by Dave White on drums. Their genre is rock and roll, country, and blues. Over the years they were the house band at Rideau Ferry in the mid-’60s, and they played high school dances, universities, concerts and hotels. The best thing about these guys (besides the music) is all the informal schmoozing that goes on between songs. Lots of good stories, lots of good memories, not only for the band but for the audience, too. Tickets are $10, purchased at the door - first come, first seated. The show starts at 2 p.m. Find the theatre at 53 Victoria Ave., Smiths Falls. Regular hours for the Station Theatre are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. Submitted by The Station Theatre

The most magical, marvelous musical event of the fall hits the Studio Theatre Here come indie women two productions’ The Marvelous Wonderettes! Check out Suzy (Courtney Mason) and Betty Jean (Lindsay Rewi), two of the Wonderettes, all dressed up and ready to perform at their school’s senior prom, a last-minute replacement for The Crooning Crabcakes from the boys’ glee club. The lead Crabcake, Billy Ray, was kicked out of school for smoking out behind the girls’ locker room, so the Wonderettes got the call and are overthe-“Alleghany Moon” excited about getting their big break! If this all sounds a bit old-fashioned, well, it is 1958 after all, which explains why Suzy and BJ are sitting in a 1956 pink and black Ford Crown Victoria waiting for their dates, Ritchie and Johnny, to whisk them away to the big event. Of course, Johnny had to borrow the car from his kindly neighbour, Bob Carruthers, who keeps the vehicle gorgeous and gleaming. The Marvelous Wonderettes, Roger Bean’s original creation that eventually spawned four fantastic followup sequels by the same writer, is a candy-coated vintage ride into a past that many of us remember fondly by virtue of the pre-technology pace of life filled with a kind of innocence and gentleness our current times seems, at times, to lack. Suzy and Betty Jean, along with their Springfield High

The Marvelous Wonderettes opens Nov. 2 at Perth’s Studio Theatre. Time travel back to 1958 for the musical production, presented by indie women two productions, as a fundraiser for the Perth Youth Action Kommittee. School Song Leader teammates (Go Chipmunks!), Cindy Lou and Missy, will make you smile, laugh, cry, sing and dance with the energy and enthusiasm (but maybe not the hips) of your youth. The music, played live by a superaccomplished five-piece band and led by musical director Brad Mills, includes 35 of the greatest hits of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Act I is set in 1958 at the senior prom, while the second act
brings us ten years forward to 1968, when our four heroines are now young women. We get a front row peek at who they’ve become, how their lives have changed and how they’ve coped with the ups and downs. Each girl’s carefully crafted individual personality contributes to her unique storyline, told through both song and dialogue. The end result is a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon or evening of nostalgia, discovery and non-stop
entertainment. indie women two productions is extremely proud to present The Marvelous Wonderettes as a fundraiser for YAK (Youth Action Kommittee), Perth’s exceptional youth centre. You may know it best as the organization that runs The Stewart Park Festival’s annual duck race. But YAK is much more! It offers a free after school program for youth aged 10-18 from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Activities are
planned to suit a wide range of abilities and interests, with an emphasis on personal growth, physical activity, healthy eating, teamwork and fun. The staff teams works – and plays – hard to ensure that programs are inclusive and fun, and that every youth who comes through the door feels safe, welcome and respected. There will be many opportunities to contribute to YAK – all optional – aside from simply attending the show. A wonderful silent auction will take place in the theatre lobby and prom cookies will be available for purchase by donation. If you come to the Saturday or Sunday matinee, you can get your photo taken with cast members in costume next to one of the vintage cars on display in the lot. Textile artist Lin Dickson’s popular Bags and Mitts from Bits will be back for purchase. Great Christmas gifts and such a worthy cause! The Perth premiere of this rocking, fun-filled “juke box musical” opens Thursday, Nov. 2 at Perth’s number one entertainment venue, Studio Theatre, and runs for five performances only: at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2, 3 and 4, with matinees at 2 p.m. Nov. 4 and 5. Tickets are selling like hotcakes so don’t be disappointed! Get yours at www. ticketsplease.ca You can also purchase at the door but sell-outs are very possible, so best to order in advance.

Ridiculous plot, overacting make this film fun to watch MOVIE: Geostorm STARRING: Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Andy Garcia and Ed Harris DIRECTOR: Dean Devlin RATING: PG Geostorm is awful. I loved every minute of it. Climate change has caused storm after storm to ravage the planet, and each one stronger than the last. Facing extinction, the world's governments are forced to work together. An international team led by Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) builds a network of satellites that can control the weather. Jake names it Dutch Boy. While Jake is a brilliant engineer, he's not much of a politician. His outspoken nature forces his own brother Max (Jim Sturgess) to fire him. Max ends up over overseeing Dutch Boy, and Jake doesn't speak to him for three years. Fast forward those three years. A town in Afghanistan, the buildings and the people, are frozen solid. It would seem Dutch Boy is malfunctioning, and the only person who can fix it is Jake. Reluctantly, Jake agrees to go, but it isn't long before he begins to suspect Dutch Boy isn't broken. It's been hacked. On the ground, Max manages to come to the same conclusion. The two brothers have to put their

warmer western U.S. for a time. While in Saranac Lake, Stevenson became the most famous patient of the already renowned Dr. Edward Trudeau. The latter had founded the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium in the town for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Trudeau also established the first American laboratory dedicated to the study of TB in Saranac Lake. It was never determined whether Stevenson himself suffered from TB. But Delahant told us the eminent physician recommended two things to his well-known patient: “Quit smoking (Stevenson chain-smoked roll-your-own cigarettes) and stay in Saranac Lake.” Stevenson did neither. Instead, he sailed the Pacific for three years, finally purchasing a 400-acre estate and settling at Vailima on the island of Upola in Samoa. It was there four years later (on Dec. 3, 1894), at the tender age of 44, that he died suddenly of a suspected cerebral haemorrhage. The Samoans revered Stevenson and the famous writer is buried on Mount Vaea, overlooking the Pacific. Fanny’s ashes (she died in California in 1914) are interred beside him.
My Take
MARK HASKINS
differences aside and figure out what's going on. If they don't, Dutch Boy could cause a geostorm that would sweep across the planet, killing millions. Geostorm is undeniably a bad film. The plot and the acting are over-the-top. It's far-fetched to the point of ridiculousness, and stretches suspension of disbelief well past the breaking point. It races to its climax and its conclusion, making it feel like it's over before it even got started. Yet I loved it. It was so much fun. I would watch this film again in a heartbeat — provided it was on TV, and not really costing me anything. So what makes a bad film a good or, more accurately, a fun film. It's usually a happy accident. In the case of Geostorm it goes over-the-top in almost every category, but still has some great lines and some good action. The story is far-fetched, but still interesting. No one in the cast is going
Despite poor health, everywhere Stevenson went he continued to write. In the little house in Saranac Lake, he composed some of his most popular essays including Pulvis et Umbra and large portions of The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter’s Tale. He also laid plans for his Pacific adventures. Included in the impressive collection of Stevenson memorabilia at the N.Y. state cottage museum (much of it donated by his family) is his smoking jacket complete with a sprig of heather in the breast pocket. The furniture, including the writer’s bed, is original. There is also a lock of his hair, childhood photographs, original letters and literally hundreds of articles of Stevenson lore. After signing the guest book and thanking the knowledgeable curator, I took some photos of three historic plaques affixed near the museum entrance. Kathy whispered: “This is a hidden gem, isn’t it?” I couldn’t possibly agree more! For more information, visit the museum website: www.robertlouisstevensonmemorialcottage.com.

to win any awards, but they don’t phone it in either. It flirts with being campy but doesn't quite cross that line. Strangely all these things come together to create a really fun and entertaining film. It's mindless fun, but fun nonetheless. It's actually an impressive cast. No one is stretching their skills,
but I still like seeing Ed Harris and Andy Garcia. Jim Sturgess is a good counterpoint to Gerard Butler's brilliant but hotheaded genius. Butler plays the hotheaded genius with the best of them. My favourite by far though is Abbie Cornish. As Sarah she's Max's girlfriend, and on the president’s
security detail. Without giving away some of the best parts of the film let's just say that's how you play a secret service agent. Do not pay full price to see Geostorm, but definitely see Geostorm. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Mississippi Mudds’ production of Anne of Green Gables – The Musical opens Nov. 24 The Mudds are at it again. This time it is Anne of Green Gables – The Musical, just in time to close out Canada’s 150th birthday. With this particular show we are introducing two new members to the adult shows – Cameron Hunter, 16, goes to RCI in Renfrew will be playing Anne, her first experience with the Mudds and Callum Leroy, 17 and goes to Almonte and District High School will be playing Gilbert. Callum is a seasoned vet of nine shows with the Mudds, but this is his first adult show. I was lucky enough to do a virtual interview with these two dynamic performers.
plished everything that I used to dream of as a little kid. She got to hang out with Harry Potter, she cut off all her hair just because, and she’s a Disney Princess. What more could a little kid want? Today she continues to inspire me wit her passion for social justice, her speech at the United Nations Assembly and her desire to challenge herself with new and different acting roles. She’s incredibly smart, hard working, gorgeous and talented. She’s got it all. Callum: It’s cliché, but definitely my parents. They work so hard to present me with every opportunity, and I could never thank them enough.
What brought you to the Mudds? Cameron: My dad play Sir Joseph in last year’s production of HMS Pinafore, and the previous year my friend Olivia played Wendy in Peter Pan. They had such awesome experiences that they encouraged me to come and do a show with the Mudds. Callum: I always had an interest in theatre so once we started looking for a program I could be part of the Mudds were highly recommended, so I auditioned for Annie Jr and the rest is history.

is so genuine, he is always very obvious about his feelings for Anne (whether or not he wants them to be obvious). What do you dislike about your character? Cameron: Anne has a really huge personality so she does a lot of bursting into rooms and screaming. Normally I’m a pretty shy person so I’m often really uncomfortable doing that stuff. Once you get used to it though it’s a lot of fun! Callum: The most annoying thing about Gilbert is that he kind of manipulates Josie…I mean Josie is not very nice so maybe she has it coming, but still. Will you come back for another show? Cameron: I would love to come back to the Mudds another time. Callum: Unfortunately, this will be my last one as I will be going to university next fall, but I will always come back and watch any Mudds show I can.

“Hi Brian, My 2005 Chevrolet Blazer’s ABS warning light has been coming on, less so with the colder temperatures of fall. Some friends say, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ Others say, ’Just disconnect them’. My thoughts are, the ABS system is very important, especially in winter. Maybe you could write up an article on ABS and the repercussions of them not working properly.” Thanks SV

I agree with your point that an anti-lock brake system (ABS) is an important safety feature to have, especially in winter, when road conditions make brake lockups very common. Your Blazer’s ABS controls are like most others, in that when the warning light is on, the anti-lock brakes won’t function. One of the most common causes for your vehicle’s ABS light is the wheel speed sensor. These magnetic field detectors transmit a constant reading for each wheel’s speed, allowing the control computer to compare them to the overall vehicle speed to determine if a wheel lock-up is occurring when the brake pedal is depressed. The sensors are mounted near or in the
On the first snow day, adjust your commuting schedule if at all possible to avoid the heavy traffic and leave plenty of distance between you and other vehicles. But, seeing that you can’t really control other drivers, leave early or late or stay home altogether. When it comes to snow tire installation, remember that while most good shops will have staff work extra hours to fit everyone in, they have a limited number of vehicle lifts and tire-changing equipment. Make your appointment early to beat the rush. Don’t worry needlessly about what driving on bare dry roads will do to your winter tires; as soon as the outside tempera-

And in all cases when an oil consumption problem arises, clients are told that up to one litre of oil lost in as little as 1,000 kilometres of driving is normal and doesn’t represent a warrantable defect. You’re correct, in my humble opinion, that a three month/5,000-kilometre oil change program is better and most professional techs would concur.
2015
Thanks for the kind words and readership. In any shop I’ve worked in over the years, we’ve always recommended the three month/5,000-kilometre oil change interval with the limited exceptions of autos requiring pure synthetic engine oils, which can stretch the range to 10,000 kilometres on some vehicles. One question I always put to customers who are understandably confused at why a shop would suggest a three month/5,000-kilometre routine while the owner’s manual says something different is: ‘How long will the carmaker be responsible for your engine repair costs and how long will you be footing the bill?’ As we keep our rides over nine years on average, the answer to that question is painfully clear. Car companies are in a race to provide the longest service intervals possible to compete with themselves, leaving their customers on the hook when the warranty expires, and the risks these stretched-out programs bring start to appear.
and snow. In order to eliminate the guesswork and unnecessary repairs, someone with the proper equipment will have to retrieve the diagnostic codes that caused the ABS light to come on in the first place and then follow the prescribed diagnostic tests. It’s certainly hard to think about winter, given the abnormally summerlike weather we’ve experienced over the last several weeks. But, the ice and snow is coming, and with it, two of life’s inevitabilities: a large number of vehicle collisions on the first day of snow and long lineups at tire centres to get your snow tires installed. Both of these are completely avoidable.

“Hi Brian, I have been reading your article for a few years now and really like your professionalism and objectivity. I just bought a new Subaru Outback 3.6 and am puzzled by the new recommended frequency of oil changes. Having been burned (no pun intended) before by dealers and garages, let’s just say I am a leery consumer. I used to religiously change the oil in my 2009 Camry, which I sold at 277,000 kilometres, due to it burning a litre of oil every 1,000 kilometres. My new Subaru takes 5W30 and they are telling me to change the oil every 10,000 kilometres or six months. How can it be that the old recommended standard of 5,000 kilometres or three months be now doubled if the oil is the same? Can I trust this or should I just follow my old regimen?” Best regards, JM

Rowland Leather in Merrickville to close after 28 years By Paulina Hrebacka
phrebacka@metroland.com
Following its 28-year run offering high quality, handmade leather goods to locals and tourists, Rowland Leather will be closing its doors this December. The store was opened in 1989. Michael Rowland has been in the business of leatherwork since 1974, marking a 43-year-long career. He may be closing the doors of his leather goods store in Merrickville after shuttering his Kemptville location in 2015, but he insists he isn’t quitting. “I’m not leaving completely, but after 28 years I’m just wanting to slow down a bit,” he said. “I’m still going to be making things, and there’s a few stores that’ll be carrying my work.” Rowland is still very passionate about working with leather and wants to continue his craft in his studio in Merrickville. “I still love creating my work, and I’ll keep doing that, probably until I fall over at the workbench one day. I can’t stop doing it - I can’t stop creating.” Growing up, Rowland was always creative. “I took a course in leatherworks when I was about 12, and I made a few things and gave them to my dad. Then later on, when I was going to University of Waterloo taking chemical engineering, there were about 700 people in my class, and it just didn’t make sense to me, so I started to work with leather again.” Working with leather turned into a hobby, and as he continued, he started making a little bit of money. “It was

Burritts Rapids Swing Bridge rehab set to begin mid-November Parks Canada has now awarded the construction contract for the Burritts Rapids Swing Bridge rehabilitation project. The contractor is currently planning to mobilize to site in mid-November, with the project completion scheduled for spring 2018. The project will begin with intermittent bridge closures, in order to undertake investigative work on the mechanical and structural components of the bridge. These brief closures will be flagged by the contractor to allow for traffic to flow. A longer-term closure to complete the repairs is expected in early 2018. This closure date will be publicized through a community bulletin and up-to-date construction signage. Once the bridge closes to vehicular traffic for repair in 2018, a temporary pedestrian crossing will be put in place in order to maintain access for the community. A small parking area will also be provided south of the pedestrian crossing for those making use of the temporary bridge. The detour route will redirect vehicles to the downstream crossing near Becketts Landing

The Burritts Rapids Swing Bridge rehabilitation project is anticipated to be completed by the spring. where Donnelly Drive and River Road meet County Road 44. Parks Canada would like to thank the Burritts Rapids community for their patience and understanding as we complete these important repairs. Through investments in infrastructure, Parks Canada is protecting and preserving our treasured places, while supporting local economies, contributing to growth in the tourism sector, and enhancing the charm and attractiveness of Canada’s heritage sites. Lock 17 is located in the
community of Burritts Rapids, in the township of North Grenville. Largely situated on an island between the Rideau River and Canal, Burritts Rapids was one of the first communities on the Rideau, tracing its roots to 1793 and the arrival of Col. Stephen Burritt. The canal cut was dug in 1826 and the dirt and clay served as building materials for the earth dams holding back the water of the Rideau Canal from the community site. The swing bridge dates to 1897 and continues to be swung by hand during the navigation season.

Sold-out Comedy Date Night supports NG Community Fund It was a sold-out show at the North Grenville Municipal Centre for the second annual Comedy Date Night organized by the North Grenville Community Fund with the assistance of Anne Kotlarchuk, ALK Event Management, the committee and many amazing Kemptville volunteers. The room was tastefully decorated by Krista Kennelly of K Vacations, along with the assistance of a dedicated group of high school students getting community service hours. Tables were dressed with linen from Gypsy Rose Weddings and Events, and Halloween-themed centrepieces from Vanessa at Dill Flower Studios. Plus, LED lighting from Quality Entertainment finished the room off perfectly. A buffet was replenished by the tireless efforts of Anna Van Adrichem-Rochon and many assistants, with delicious goodies from B&H Your Community Grocer, Grahame’s Bakery, Parmalat Cheese, Brewed Awakenings and Rideau Roastery. Beer from Windmill Brewery and wine from Pelee Island Winery was served to guests by a great group of Kinsmen Club vol-

A ghostly encounter
never cared for the concept of ghosts until I met one when I was thirteen. In the fall of 2006, I was at Watson’s Mill in Manotick with my mother, who was a reporter at the time. She had dragged my reluctant teenage self along with her to one of her assignments. As she conducted her interview, I wandered around the mill and tried to entertain myself. Little did I know, I wasn’t the only bored one there. The first floor was busy with tourists. Kids were running around chasing each other, so I walked up to the second floor and admired the old machinery. It was much quieter up there, and I remember feeling very calm. The room was filled with natural light from the tall, beautiful windows and the walls were carefully constructed with thousands of grey stones. I could hear the kids, still laughing, shrieking, and running around downstairs. I could feel their thumps and bumps reverberating through the wooden floor under my feet. Before I knew it, the kids were on the second floor, too, followed by my mother and the woman she was interviewing. A group of tourists were guided up the stairs as well, and I felt like my moment of peace was ruined. Just then, I spotted another set of stairs leading up to the mill’s attic, and decided to continue exploring. The darkness of the third floor spilling down the stairs heightened my curiosity, and although it was a little off-putting, I found it inviting at the same time. I had just placed my hand on the stair railing when my mother called over to me. “Paulina! Better do up that shoelace.” As I glanced down at my white Converse
PAULINA HREBACKA FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE NEWSROOM All Stars, the kids made their way up to the attic. I gave up on my search for solitude and lowered to tie up my lace on the stairs. Again, I felt the vibrations from the kids playing, but they were stronger this time. As I tied up my shoe, I felt the stairs rumbling, and I nearly lost my balance. I could have sworn one of the kids was falling down the stairs toward me, so I braced myself and quickly moved to the side. When I looked up, there was no one there, but I felt something fall through me. It was like a breeze, passing through my body and lifting up my hair. I was instantly terrified. My mother came over and asked me if I was okay. She told me my face had gone pale. A few minutes later, the tour guide laughed when I told her about my experience. “No one has ever told you about Ann? Our ghost?” As it turns out, a woman named Ann Crosby Currier died at the mill, when a loose piece of material on her dress was caught in the rotating machinery and she was spun around until she smacked her head on one of the wooden beams on the second floor. She was instantly killed. The tour guide said that she may not have died if she hadn’t tore her dress when she fell down the attic stairs.
Auctioning off history
Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland
On Saturday, Oct. 28, Ken Finnerty volunteered his time to service the auction at Leslie Hall, the St. James Anglican Church parish hall on Clothier Street West in Kemptville, which was built in 1908 and is set to be demolished. Auction items included pews, 1930s-era stained glass windows, appliances, an antique bank safe, tables and chairs and other pieces of furniture, and the large oak front doors of the hall. Pictured: Ken Finnerty auctions off Leslie Hall’s oak front doors.
I am issuing a Christmas challenge
T
here was a moment, one Christmas morning not too long ago, when we realized we had overdone it. After opening our dozens of gifts, we could not move from our seated positions on couches and chairs around my sister’s living room. It had finally happened. We had too many gifts. It was an embarrassment of riches. As our children mature, they begin to want to take part in the gift-giving ritual. Soon, they are not only the recipients but also the givers of gifts. That’s when it becomes complicated. The last thing you want at Christmas is for your children to become stressed over the length of their Christmas lists. It bothered me to see my daughter racing around town on Christmas Eve, trying to find the perfect gift for every last person on her list instead of enjoying the festivities. But Christmas isn’t about that. Christmas is about spending time together, celebrating traditions. And yes, you can do that with a few token gifts. But it isn’t supposed to induce panic. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of that. So last year, as we dug our way out from under another mountain of tis-
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
sue paper and coloured wrapping, one of our daughters announced that she would like to establish a new family gift-giving tradition. She wanted to do a Secret Santa name exchange. It sounded like a great idea. Each of us in our immediate family would draw a name, and buy a Christmas gift for that person. The maximum value for that gift is $100. We can also buy gifts for the other people in the family, but there is no obligation to do so. In fact, it might prove embarrassing or uncomfortable if you have gifts for people and they don’t have gifts for you. The Farmer, who normally hands me the money and lets me do the shopping, is neither comfortable nor enthusiastic about the Secret Santa program. “I’m buying my daughters gifts,” he
announced. “That’s fine,” I said. "But if you didn’t draw the person’s name, the gift limit is 20 dollars.” I got something like a “harrumph” in response. I explained that by introducing the gift exchange, we would be taking stress off the girls and allowing them to buy the things they really needed with their money, instead of racing around obsessed with buying gifts for everyone at Christmas. The Farmer was not convinced. He has not bought into this whole deal yet. I personally am really looking forward to being able to focus on holiday gatherings that are not centred around opening gifts. I am looking forward to reconnecting, celebrating memories, and building new traditions for our growing family instead of just opening present after unnecessary present. It feels good to be cutting back on this indulgent, unbalanced tradition. I will be able to take my time finding one significant gift for the person whose name I drew. And I’m telling you right now, most of the other people in my family will be getting books. Because I
love books, and also because they most often fall under the $20 limit that has been established. Now that I don’t have to spend hours upon hours in the hell known as a shopping centre at Christmastime, I might actually have time to get creative and make something. I can make chocolates, or almond bark, package them up in colourful tins from the dollar store and give those as gifts instead of spending all my hard-earned cash on things my family members do not need. When buying my gifts, I will make every attempt to shop local. I do this every year but it should be much easier this year with such a simple objective. I
won’t be spending thousands of dollars this holiday season, but the money I do spend will stay in the community. It feels good to know that in our own way this year, our family is cutting back on waste and overspending and taking the time to highlight the important things about the season. And it will feel really good to have time to talk, eat, drink and maybe play a game, watch a movie or go for a hike instead of just opening gift after gift this Christmas morning. www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot. com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

To the students, he urged them to keep the school’s motto in their mind – dare to be remarkable. â€œâ€ŚStudents should remember it all starts with them and I want them to push themselves to take advantage of the wonderful education that your teachers are going to be able to offer you.â€? Following remarks and an official ribbon cutting, guests were invited to tour the school. The new KPS offers learning opportunities to children from junior kindergarten to grade 6, as well as French immersion. The original school on Reuben Crescent was built in 1958 and an addition was put on in 1978.

Several presentations were made throughout the ceremony, including certificates of recognition from North Grenville Mayor David Gordon on behalf of the Municipality of North Grenville, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, representing the provincial government, as well as education officer Mike Chartrand. Gordon said the school enhances the ever-growing community of North Grenville. “This is a great day for community partnership. Without community partnership, we’d be nowhere‌we come together and now we have this great school,â€? he stated. “The importance of a school or schools within a municipality provides economic growth. Without schools there is no growth, a community dies.â€? Chartrand presented an Ontario flag and scroll on behalf of the Ontario Minister of Education, Mitzi Hunter, to Staples, Hannah and KPS students. “I’m confident that Kemptville Public School will provide its students with a well-rounded education to inspire and challenge them,â€?

Clark stated. “I’m very pleased, as your local MPP, to be involved in the celebration‌it’s obviously a very important investment in North Grenville and just shows again what the growth we’ve received in our community has resulted in.â€?

Many of the students had a part to play in the official opening with musical performances by the kindergarten, grade 3, 4 and 5 classes. UCDSB director of education, Stephen Sliwa, indicated the new space will provide students with enhanced learning opportunities to reach their potential and staff with a comfortable teaching environment. “We all know that our staff are committed to the special work of teaching and supporting children in this special time in their lives and this building is further evidence and support of that kind of commitment,� he commented. “And we can see how the setting will further everyone’s good efforts in addressing learning and care and attention and support what we really desire and aspire for our students.� Let’s remember who uses this space – our students,� Sliwa continued. “It’s a vivid reminder that adults felt they were so important that they created a fresh, bright and wide open space where they could come to learn every day.� Sliwa expressed his gratitude to Staples and vice-principal Chris Hannah with making the move a seamless one, “and all the staff who were active, engaged and present, making sure that students valued what we had at the original school site and what they now have at this school.� He said KPS is a “shining example� of what happens when a school board, staff and community leaders can do

birdhouses, so I made one out of purse parts," he remarked. "Flaps from bags, buckles, zippers, and all that. There were so many beautiful birdhouses. I didn’t even go to the competition thing, and I found out later that I’d won one of the awards, so I was quite surprised and happy about that.” After that, Rowland always wanted to make another series of leather birdhouses. “About 20 years went by, and finally, one year at Christmas, all the employees were on holidays. I was in the workshop alone, and I just wanted to have fun, so I created three more birdhouses and I put them on display in the store," he said. Rowland continued participating in shows and wholesaling his products to other stores, until he found his home in Merrickville in 1984, where he still lives now. “Merrickville then was a very quiet little town,” said Rowland. “There were maybe two stores.” About five years later, he found an opening to run his own store, where he decided to move his craft show booth. “I thought I would give it a try, and it worked," he stated. "We started selling things, and eventually we got bigger, and brought more product in. I stopped doing the craft shows. I gave up ‘show business’ – I
didn’t need it anymore, because I was selling everything I could make.” Rowland’s creations are elegant, durable and high quality. Over the years, his team has produced more than 300,000 handbags. “We get bags back that are 20 or 30-years-old sometimes. We don’t even remember making them," Rowland noted. Many of his signature styles are named after notable Canadian women, such as Joni Mitchell and Silken Laumann. In addition to purses, Rowland makes designer flight bags and innovative backpacks, and sells belts, slippers and other items from other Canadian producers. In 2011, Rowland made the trip of a lifetime when he was invited to Iqaluit by the Nunavut Crafts Coun-
cil to share his knowledge and expertise with seamstresses from across Nunavut. The women were already familiar with making clothing out of sealskin and fur, and they were keen to round out their repertoire by learning how to work with leather to produce bags. Rowland chronicled his journey in a beautifully rendered book called Iqaluit 2011, which is on display at the store. “They already knew quite a bit about making boots and coats, and working with seal skin. They were very talented,” said Rowland. “I had such a nice time there working with them.” Moving forward, Rowland is continuing to run the Merrickville Guest Suites, which are located directly above the store.

“When I bought the building, there were two one-bedroom apartments upstairs, and so I rented those out over the years. About four years ago, I noticed there was a shortage of places for tourists to stay, with Sam Jakes Inn closing up, so I gutted those apartments and put in these really deluxe guest suites above the store," he said. "They’re really popular. There’s a third one above my studio, about three blocks down. It’s keeping me pretty busy.”
Another business in Merrickville, Spa Sans Souci, will be moving into the Rowland Leather building in the new year. “The spa and the suites will share the building, so I think it’ll work really well," Rowland commented. "The spa will also have a retail part up front, where some of my bags will be for sale.” Rowland Leather’s closing sale is on now, so be sure to get in there while a wide selection is still available. “I hope to last until Christ-
mas in Merrickville, which is Dec. 2. I’m going to try to close up soon after that,” Rowland said. “I don’t know what’s ahead of me, but I have lots of ideas, and I guess we’ll just see what happens. I’m inspired to create something new, and I’m really looking forward to that. Leather is such a wonderful, sensual material to work with. It feels so nice. After working with it for so long, I really have this flow that new things come out of and you know, it’s wonderful.”

It’s better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent
National
Senior
Safety an act to condemn! Fraud against senior citizens:
Week
November 6 to 12, 2017
National Senior Safety Week takes place between November 6 and 12, 2017. To mark the occasion, the Canada Safety Council aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of fraud and other forms of financial abuse against seniors. All too often, elderly people are the victims of illicit activity. Many possess a life’s worth of savings and other financial benefits, which make them prime targets for fraud. Additionally, con artists take advantage of seniors’ trusting character and life situation (many of them live alone) to scam them. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS If you’re a senior citizen, make vigilance your priority! In order to prevent financial
exploitation, you must tread lightly whenever faced with an unusual situation. For example, if a vendor seems too insistent and asks for personal information, don’t hesitate to say that you’re not interested in what they have to offer. Most importantly, never make spur-ofthe-moment decisions, and always ask a third party for their opinion when in doubt. Finally, if you or someone you know believes to be the victim of fraud or any other form of financial abuse, communicate with the authorities right away! For more information on National Senior Safety Week, visit www.canadasafetycouncil.org.

Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow...

BEWARE! Identity theft, fraudulent charities and organizations, pyramid schemes, fake lotteries - con artists use different methods to trick elderly people. Always be wary of unsolicited requests received over the phone, online or in person (e.g. door-todoor selling).

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!

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, no matter the demands that are put on your time right now, you must take some time to retreat and focus on your well-being. This may mean staying out of the limelight.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, associates and friends have been cautious and guarded, leading you to believe you should act the same way. Don’t follow the crowd.

We are sad within our memory; Lonely are our hearts today; For the one we loved so dearly; Has forever been called away. We think of you in silence; No eye may see us weep; But many silent tears are shed; When others are asleep. As we look upon your picture; Sweet memories we recall; Of a face so full of sunshine; A smile for one and all. Though your smile has gone forever; And your hand we cannot tough; We shall never lose sweet memories; Of the one we loved so much. Always remembered and forever loved, The Family
