Lanark County United Way Day Breakfast makes a kick-off splash for fall campaign BY Evelyn Harford
eharford@metroland.com
What goes well with community building? How about a healthy dose of sausages, pancakes and coffee? And that's exactly what was delivered at the Lanark County United Way Day Breakfast held at Algonquin College's Perth Campus on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016. The sweet smell of maple syrup cascaded across the college's cafeteria as stakeholders, partners and students sipped coffees and enjoyed breakfast for a good cause - the United Way of Lanark County (UWLC). Attendees paid $5 for the breakfast prepared by D'Dawg Café and were offered a "Tour for a Toonie" of the campus by student ambassadors. All proceeds donated by the 100 or so guests went back into the United Way's coffers as part of their annual fall campaign so that UWLC can invest back into the community. This year, UWLC plans to increase the number of people they touch to 8,500 - up 500 from last year. "It may not seem like a lot but when you're looking at 8,000 lives, it's about one in eight people in Lanark," said Kate Hallas, UWLC's fund development officer. The thousands of people served each year are touched by one, if not many, of UWLC's partners including, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS), Lanark County Community Justice Program and YAK Youth Centre, who were in attendance at the breakfast. Algonquin College has been a longtime partner with the United Way and many of the organization supported
"It really makes a difference about how many kids we can provide for." Beth Sinclair
by the United Way in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa are staffed and supported by graduates and students of Algonquin College's Social Service Worker and Personal Support Worker programs. An Algonquin student in the applied research program even conducted a first-of-its-kind study on youth homelessness in Lanark. Hallas said that study, conducted in 2014, has been a huge help because it established a baseline number of homeless youth in the area, something that didn't exist before. The study estimated that an average of 42 youth are homeless in Lanark every year, but Hallas said from her experience the number is higher. The focus on youth homelessness has grown for the UWLC in the last number of years and a goal this year is to ensure every young person in need has access to safe and affordable housing as well as support services with 10 days of being referred. Another key investment made by UWLC this year includes an investment in the after school programs run through BBBS. Beth Sinclair, the resource development manager at BBBS said the investment her organization gets from the United Way is really important. "We're so grateful," she said. "It really makes a difference about how
many kids we can provide for." The UWLC has given the organization $35,000 for their after school programs for both 2016 and 2017, under the new two-year funding model. UWLC's Executive Director, Fraser Scantlebury, said the after school programs serve kids in the "critical hours" when they're most likely to be involved with more negative influences. While breakfast goers could learn about the incredible programs and organizations there was also an opportunity to engage with the United Way sponsored game, "Make the Month," which brings users through a month of life living in poverty. In the game, you start out with a certain amount of money depending on which family type you choose and are given a series of financial and life decisions that impact your bottom line. If you're able to get through 30 days with a surplus, you pass. If not, you fail. The purpose of the game is to help users learn about the struggles faced by many of Lanark County residents. Brandon Desormeaeux, a second year Algonquin College student in the Business Management and Entrepreneurship program, played the game and was forced to make some tough financial decisions. Desormeaeux didn't make it through the month. With four days left until payday, he was down $160. "I think it reaffirmed my perception - it's not stuff I don't already know, but it is an eye-opener for sure."

The Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation has unveiled phase one of its interactive mapping project, which will provide local attractions and historical details of the trails in
Mapping project gives Lanark County’s trails starring role online BY Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
Active transportation is an important tool for many municipalities and Lanark County is no different. A new mapping project undertaken by the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation (LCMTC) is trying to reach users on the worldwide web. Catherine Orfald, co-ordinator of the mapping project, and LCMTC president Reid Kilburn provided some insight into the initiative Oct. 26 during the county's economic development committee meeting. "About a year ago we were looking to promote our trails by creating an interactive mapping project," Kilburn explained. "We looked at the overall trails in the county and for the first phase, we concentrated on the Tay-Havelock trail through Tay Valley Township." He added that the interactive approach was used to "stimulate trail use throughout the county." Orfald, who was a board member of the trails corporation two years ago, has been spearheading the project, of which she has put in more than 70 hours of work. "We've created a fun way to learn more about our trails," she said as she took councillors through a demonstration of the mapping project. The site shows a map of the Tay-Havelock trail, complete with fun facts users can hover over to find out more information on its history. "There's a number of historical markers...about the Ontario-Quebec railway a number of years ago until it was abandoned in 1987," Orfald stated. Included are historical documentations, GPS coordinates and attractions and areas to visit that are along the trail. "Key markers along the way are local attractions to visit where one could easily get off the trail and go down the road to see. We've only included things at this point that are very close to the trail so you could hop off easily," she said, noting Silver Lake Provincial Park. While the Tay-Havelock trail is just the first phase of the project, Purdon Conservation Area has also been added. "More trails can be marked and added to this project," she explained. This project includes more than nearby attractions and history along the trails, it also focuses on the wildlife users can find in the area, safety tips for cyclists, ATV users and snowmobile enthusiasts, as well as information on the importance of getting active on trails.
"There's tips on wildlife encounters, whether it's turtles, bears or snakes..and the benefits of physical activity," Orfald commented. "It's the exploratory idea of using the trail and learning about the different activities and use you can get along the trail." Councillors were receptive of the work being done on the project. "I think this is great. This is just what we need," remarked Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve), however he didn't believe mapping should include roadways as well. "Roads aren't trails in my opinion, either," added Orfald. "I agree with Coun. Kidd," continued Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor). "The simple thing to do is to add that there are more trails to come so people will come back. It is a marvelous interface and I think it's wonderful." But Coun. Louis Antonakos believed those roadway markings were needed for reference points. "Do you not want some sort of road network to know where you are?" he questioned. As Orfald has put in many hours on the project, Coun. Brian Stewart commended her for the work she has accomplished. "It's amazing. You've done quite a job and I would like to thank you for the job you've taken on," he stated. "I agree with everybody here," added warden Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley deputy reeve). "This is a substantial amount of time and we appreciate what you are doing for our county." Coun. Jane Torrance was eager to take the project further and wondered if Orfald would like to continue to work on it. "I'd love to. It's been great fun," she commented. Code suggested that if Orfald continues to log hours on the initiative, council may want to consider a monetary commitment. "She shouldn't be doing this for nothing," she pointed out. Later in the meeting, councillors made the decision to provide Orfald with an official motion thanking her for her efforts. A letter and monetary thank-you from the warden's discretionary fund will be forwarded to Orfald. "Going forward with Catherine, we should see what her expectations are and whether she wants to go ahead and do some more (on this project), Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor) said. The project can currently be found on the Lanark County Tourism website (lanarkcountytourism.com) under the trails section.

Employee receives award for outstanding contributions Lanark County Warden Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley Deputy Reeve) extended congratulations on behalf of council to Nikole Green, Adult Protective Services Worker (APSW) with the Lanark County Social Services Department (Developmental Services). Green received the Percy Pittman Award at the Adult Protective Services Workers Association conference in Cobourg in September. The award is presented to an adult protective services worker who makes outstanding contributions in the field of case-management services to adults with developmental disabilities living independently in the community. Green has been with the Developmental Support Services team for seven years, during which time she has demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities in her role. “Nikole tackles any challenge head on and always has time for her clients or co-workers in a time of need,” said Julie Golding, Developmental Support Services manager. The Percy Pittman award was named for a former DSS client who attended the conference with a former APSW employee of Lanark County, Steve Tennant.

Community grants recipients approved Council approved in principle the funding allocations for community grants recipients based on recommen-
dations in a summary of 2017 funding requests. Last October council approved a new community grants program, which came into effect on Jan. 1. The new guidelines were distributed to the 2016 recipients and the information was also advertised. A staff working group evaluated the submissions and provided recommendations in a report to the community services committee in advance of the 2017 budget deliberations. The program is designed to award grants to projects that have a direct impact on the people of Lanark County or to increase the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain local projects. Three categories of projects were represented: human services, agriculture/forestry, arts/heritage/tourism. The 2017 community grant budget is $275,000; requests totalled $596,000. Recipients for project funding (one year) include Food for Thought in Lanark County, Lanark County 4-H Association, Lanark County Community Justice Program, Lanark County Tourism Association, Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement and Watersheds Canada. Program funding (two years) recipients include Archives Lanark, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, Lanark Community Programs, Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program, and the five youth centres in the county and Smiths Falls.
Clerk and treasurer appointed Council passed bylaws approving appointments related to the clerk and treasurer positions in the County. In September 2013, a major reorganization of the county administration took place that amalgamated the clerk, treasurer and CAO position into one, with a deputy clerk and deputy treasurer reporting to the CAO. With the new bylaws, Leslie Drynan, who was in the deputy clerk position, has been appointed as Clerk/Deputy CAO. Jennie Bingley, who was deputy treasurer, has been appointed to the position of Treasurer/Manager of Corporate Services, which oversees the finance, human resources and information technology departments. CAO Kurt Greaves will also act as Deputy Clerk/Deputy Treasurer. ROMA delegation requests outlined Council has approved a motion authorizing staff to submit delegation requests for the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association Conference taking place in January. Councillors are seeking to meet with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services regarding sustainable funding for youth centres, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care regarding cross-border ambulance billing, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing about the proposed amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Af-

Couple’s donation kick-starts LAWS capitalcampaign What lies behind a $5,000 donation from Dave and Cathy Lindstedt to help kick-start LAWS' capital campaign for a brand new shelter? "That's easy," says Cathy. "Nothing more than a deep love for animals and a desire for this vital organization to have a much better facility for the animals in its care, and for the staff and volunteers who work for LAWS 365 days a year." The couple's generous gift was made Sept. 24 at LAWS' annual Walk Your Paws for LAWS event. A further $5,000 which was raised that day helped launch LAWS on the road to its goal of $525,000 for the campaign. "There are so many unwanted cats and dogs," says Dave. "And they have no voice. We would bring them all home if we could. But by volunteering and by donating what we can, we are helping these companion animals to find loving homes." LAWS has been operating out of its current building in Smiths Falls for more than 36 years. Thousands of animals have been adopted over that timeframe. However, the building does not meet current standards for animal care and shelter operations. "After some tough times re-

Animal lovers Dave and Cathy Lindstedt recently helped launch the New Digs for LAWS capital campaign with a $5,000 donation. The campaign has a $525,000 goal to either build a new shelter for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society or provide upgrades to its current location. cently, our board has worked extremely hard to reposition LAWS for continued, long-term service to our rural region," says Dave, a retired firefighter who also serves on the board of LAWS as the organization's treasurer. "We've turned our situation around in a positive way. Now, fulfilling the
goal of this capital campaign will be a reflection of that hard work and the tireless dedication of us all." "LAWS is particularly special as we operate a no-kill shelter," adds Cathy, a retired federal civil servant who also serves on the board of LAWS. "We preserve

This year’s annual Movember campaign is asking for donations to help stop men dying too young, whether it’s from prostate or testicular cancer, suicide or mental health issues. Men are encouraged to grow moustaches and raise funds for men’s health.
(liMiTed TiMe Offer)
Movember Foundation puts focus on fundraising for 2016 campaign On Nov. 1, the Movember Foundation launched its 2016 campaign with a strong message to share: Stop Men Dying Too Young. The state of men's health is in crisis, with men dying on average six years younger than women in Canada. Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing this health crisis, and without people talking, taking action and raising vital funds, nothing will change. This year, the Movember foundation puts the cause at the forefront, asking for donations for the first time in its campaign history to stop men dying too young. Part of this shift includes a cause-marketing approach spotlighting six Canadian men with real health issues. From survivors of suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer, to men who have lost loved ones to the above issues, and men who live with mental health issues, they are the faces of this year's campaign, encouraging men to talk and reach out for support when things get tough. Their stories motivate us to join the fight this Movember to stop men dying too young. As mentioned, Movember has made several changes this year. These include: - Real stories: The campaign creative showcases real men with real health stories - Sacrifice a beard: Men don't have to start clean shaven. They can sacrifice a beard into a moustache - Donations: For the first time, Movember is directly asking the public to donate money to the cause - Host: A brand new fundraising option, you can now Host a Movember event through Movember.com and browse local events in your area As well, there are three key weeks to show your support and join the fight this Movember: Grow a Mo, save a Bro: The moustache is the Movember Foundation's ribbon for men's health. Use it to raise funds and stop men dying too young. Sign up to grow your moustache for 30 days. Sacrifice your beard into a moustache, auction off your face to the highest donor or dye your Mo a different colour every day. Move: Get active for men's health. Raise funds for men's health while you do something good for your own health. Sign up to set yourself a Move challenge. From the big (riding 300kms in 30 days) to the brave (facing the fear of learning how to swim) to the slightly outra-
geous (working out in costume or having an office dodgeball tournament). Move is all about pushing yourself to reach your personal best. Host an event : Throw or go to a Movember event. Any excuse for a good time. Events are a great way to have fun and raise funds for men's health. Register at Movember.com to host your own event, or take a look at what's on in your area. Head along and make a donation to stop men dying too young. "With this year's campaign, we're putting the cause first: men are dying too young, and for no good reason," says Kevin Edwards, country director for Canada. "Though the tone of the campaign is a more serious one, we still stand by our values of doing good and having fun, and that's where growing a moustache, moving, and hosting events come in. Our community continues to have fun raising funds for an important and serious cause." With the money raised, the foundation has funded more than 1,200 game-changing projects in prostate cancer, testicular cancer and suicide prevention around the world, while positively challenging the way in which men's health issues are researched and addressed. "To truly create an impact, we need every single person supporting men's health - the more funds we raise and the more awareness we spread this Movember, the less likely men are to die before their time," says Edwards. Join the fight at Movember.com and sign up or donate to help stop men dying too young. About the Movember Foundation: The Movember Foundation is the only charity tackling men's health on a global scale, year round. By 2030, we will reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25 per cent. The Foundation funds game-changing men's health projects. Millions have joined the movement, raising $770 million to help us fund over 1,200 projects focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In addition, our awareness and education program is encouraging men to become more aware of their health, to talk about the big stuff in life, and take action when health issues arise. Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn't being talked about. We can't afford to stay silent. We have one goal: to stop men dying too young.

CUPE: Closing schools won’t solve board’s funding problems Education workers with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) are gearing up for a fight to preserve the quality of education in the region and quality of life in smaller communities, both of which are under threat from the board's plans to close up to 29 of its public schools. Sixteen are targeted for closure by June 2017. Education assistants, custodians, school administrators and other support staff with UCDSB warn of serious negative consequences for students, families and communities if the closures go ahead. They are organizing with allies to call on the provincial government for changes to schools' funding formula so that schools can be protected as valuable community assets. "We understand the financial pressures that have led to these proposed closures, but we don't believe the board recognizes how harmful they will be, or has explored all the alternatives," said Sue Hanson, president of Local 5678 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents education workers at UCDSB. Hanson met with the UCDSB last month to learn more about the proposed closures.
"As workers at the heart of the system, we base our opposition to the closures on our deep knowledge about the vital role that our schools play in our communities," she said. The union's members will base their defence of the region's schools on the following: • Many students will have to travel further every day to get to school; some may have more than an hour's travel each way by school bus. • Schools that remain open will become overcrowded with new enrolments. • Children and young people risk being "warehoused" in overcrowded schools. • Up to ten child care centres operating in schools will be closed, with no provisions to create new spaces or accommodate families' child care needs locally. • Programs that operate outside regular classroom hours - from recreation programs to summer day camp to sporting events - can no longer be hosted in schools, threatening community life. • Business and municipalities will feel the economic impact as families move to be closer to schools; par-
ents are forced to leave work or leave their communities for child care; and good jobs are lost as schools close. "We will insist that the board take into account all the ways that schools are woven into the fabric of the community. Then we will urge them to join us in lobbying the provincial government for better funding for our
schools so that they can be retained as assets for the community," affirmed Hanson. CUPE has long advocated for improvements to the school funding formula, which fails to account for all the people required for our community schools to provide the complete education that students deserve.
"A flawed formula is at the root of school closures. Only the provincial government can provide funding that properly accounts for the real needs of our children and communities," she concluded. "It takes a whole school to educate a child." Submitted by CUPE Local 5678

Ontario looks for answers
ow soon after the first public safety entity was created – hundreds of years ago – did some ask the question: Who will police the police? The province is hoping to improve the way the police in Ontario are managed. There are three bodies that investigate police actions, with the Special Investigations Unit the best known. Justice Michael Tulloch is touring the province, listening to Ontarians’ suggestions and complaints. It’s a worthwhile endeavour. All of us need to have faith in our police. We need to know that when we raise a concern, an independent investigation will occur. Two of the stated purposes of Tulloch’s review are greater transparency and accountability. The SIU operates at arm’s length from the police, and the organization’s investigators deliver their reports to the Ontario attorney general, but not the public. That’s the first fix that’s needed. Public reports ensure transparency. The arm’s-length relationship – great in theory – can also be questioned. Most, if not all, of the SIU’s investigators are former police officers. While police departments are obvious sources of good investigators, their resumes don’t pass the
sniff test for some people who complain about police actions. There is no doubt there’s an appearance of conflict of interest, which in turn can make the public less confident that investigations go where they need to go. The answer would be to train investigators to work for the SIU, even if they have never worked for law enforcement before. There would clearly be a cost as the education wouldn’t be simple. But if Tulloch is to create a fair and complete report, hiring non-cops for the SIU must be an option. Another way to stretch the arm’s-length relationship between police and the SIU would be to expand the geographic scope of the people who investigate police officers. A provincial body such as the SIU means investigators – former police officers – may have personal relationships with members of the forces they investigate. If Canada had a federal unit instead, that could ensure personal relationships are less likely or avoided altogether – a former police officer in Alberta could be assigned SIU cases in New Brunswick, for example. If we are going to continue to fund investigations of our police, we should receive results all of us trust to be fair, complete and public.
Mother's moods fluctuated with the changing of the seasons
W
ith each new season, came a different set of emotions from Mother. My sister Audrey, who was much wiser, and much older than I was, was aware of it too. She said it was because Mother, when each season broke, compared it with New York, the city she left, and which still held a special place in her heart. When Spring came, it never came early enough to suit Mother. She said, when the snow was still on the ground in Northcote, the parks and streets would already be in bloom in New York. She said she could even smell the flowers in her mind's eye, which seemed mighty strange to me. Before I could smell anything, it had to be right in front of me. Mother said it took ages for her to get the smell of winter

out of the house. Even though the house was cleaned from top to bottom every Saturday, there was always ash and soot from the cook stove being in the closed up kitchen over the winter months. And then she would lament that in New York, no one had a cook stove, and the only ashes came from the fireplace in the parlour, which was cleaned out every time it was used. And I would try to picture the fireplace, and I knew there would have to be a very large parlour to hold it, not a little room off the kitchen like we had in Northcote. "Sure miss New York in the springtime," she would say. And when summer finally came, she lamented about the heat that closed in around our old log house like a vice.

She swatted, and sprayed with enough flytox to kill all the flies in Renfrew County, and she

Letter to the Editor
Reader urges trustees to re-evaluate school closures DEAR EDITOR:
The following letter was sent to school trustees, Members of Parliament and sent to this newspaper for publication. After reading the report on school closures it disturbs and shocks me. To close Maple Grove and move students to Drummond Central just doesn’t make any common sense. Who ever developed this report and suggested this, is not very well informed and does not have all the

information to make such a decision. I work for the board and as an employee I am not concerned even though I work at Maple Grove. As a taxpayer and living in the area it concerns me very much. I have worked and ran both schools. I know the facts in which I think everyone needs to know. There are some things that need to be addressed.

in New York. And when she wasn't lamenting about the summer flies, she was lamenting about the fierceness of the thunder and lightening that roared through the countryside in the Ottawa Valley. The log house, with no foundation, shook with every clap of thunder, and with we five children huddled beside her, locked tight inside, we waited out the storm, catching Mother's fear, and sure that the next bolt of lightning would send us all into oblivion. And again, Mother would liken the Valley storms with those she saw in New York, where the

ment at Drummond Center. It was pumped out and lime spread over the entire basement. After that there have been two floods of water from broken pipes that had the water within inches of the floor. It was all pumped out and the pipes were repaired. My question is - should an environmental study not be done on this school? Another thing is the cost of bringing in portables and hooking up electricity etc. I can imagine close to $700,000 or more out of taxpayers pockets. How about kids putting coats and hats on every time they want to go to the washroom? Who is supervising them while they are out of the building? The length of time a child four years old is on the bus - it is more than an hour now for kids going to Maple Grove and will add another 20 minutes on a good day. Some kids are 50 plus kilometres north of Lanark at Flower Station etc. Can you imagine a child learning when they spend three hours a day on a bus? What about wheel chair accessibility? Drummond is not accessible and would be costly to make it so. Now on the other hand Maple Grove is accessible and could take all the kids from Drummond. And change the bussing to pick up some of the kids from Glen Tay, which would take the pressure off Perth. Kids would still not be on the bus, for a long period of time. The kids from the north would not be any longer on the bus. But best of all, it would not

high skyscrapers, dulled the sounds and where electric lights diminished the lightning. "No comparison" she would say, "no comparison at all." And with fall in the air, and the onslaught of winter just around the corner, she would prepare for the long cold days ahead, ever mindful that when the snow came, there was a good chance that we could be locked in at home for days while Father worked at clearing the long lane of the drifts. There would be no car until spring. And sometimes it would be too bitterly cold to make it into Renfrew 12 and half miles
away, and on those Saturdays there would be no eggs, chickens, butter and sticky buns delivered door-to-door to add to the egg-money in the sugar bowl in the cupboard. And she would sit at night, at the end of the pine table writing in her diaries, and I knew without a doubt, she would be putting into words her memories of another place and another time.

cost the taxpayers any money. The only thing involved would be moving furniture from one school to the other, which will need to be done in either case. Oh did I mention the addition you want to build to Drummond at a later date that will cost millions to the taxpayers? When you build an addition and put in more washrooms etc. you have to put in a new septic system, which would cost an even larger amount of money. Depending on the number of kids that could be put in Maple Grove – what about the possibility of also putting in French Immersion? Imagine not having to bus all those young kids to Perth for French and what cost that would save in bussing and not getting them up so early? Drummond could be sold and the money could be given to Perth and District Collegiate Institute that is needed. Maple Grove could be sold and would not be near enough to pay for work needed at Drummond Center. Also if Maple Grove closes, most of the parents I have talked to will move their children to Sacred Heart. Imagine the loss in tax dollars to the board if this happens. Oh well, maybe the Catholic board will buy Maple Grove as they will likely need the space for all the new kids. So maybe trustees, you should consider this as well, as we did elect you. Take the time to tour both schools so you can make a well-informed decision. Also members of parliament you need to do the same so you can see that our tax dollars are
more wisely spent. Now, you the taxpayer, need to stand up and say we have had enough of wasting money, and driving our kids for hours to go to school when there is a much cheaper option. If you don’t do this now you could be paying more taxes. Where do you think they get the money to enact all these changes? So go to those meetings and speak out. That is the only way we will get changes. Keep in mind Maple Grove has an after school program for kids run by the community for both the kids from Maple Grove and Sacred Heart. Is this not a good thing that the children will lose? Is it not all about the children, or is it just for looks? Concerned taxpayer, Keith Lalonde Lanark Editor’s Note: There will be a public meeting at Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Nov. 16 where the public will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the potential school closures. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. Anyone wishing to make a presentation must notify the ARC chair by email five days before the ARC meeting date, including a completed delegation form (available http:// www.ucdsb.on.ca/programs/accomodationreview/Documents/ ARC%20public%20meeting%20delegation%20form.pdf.

Heralded as the community’s official launch into the holiday season, the Christmas Gala has always been a good time filled with some fun memories – and this year will be just the same – but with some good twists. The Gala committee has been in the planning phase for a while now, and along with our widely-popular traditional items (host bar, live music by St. Jimmy’s 4, delicious cheese bar, live auction, memories to last a lifetime, etc.) The Foundation will bring in some new and exciting features to an already exciting night here in Perth. Here are just a few ways they plan to roll it out big this year: Glass and Glitter Bar Get the VIP experience. When you add an additional $25 to your ticket price, you’ll get VIP bar access, which includes premium beer and wine as well as an extra hour of host bar.

Below, left, Lynda Coates signs in for the game while Jim Barnett holds a skate pin for sale.
Fewer Tickets It may seem counterintuitive to reduce ticket sale numbers. But after last year’s Gala, the Foundation really liked how there was more space and better conversation! So, only 200 tickets will be available for this year. And, heck, it doesn’t hurt that the number ties in well with our region’s 200th anniversary! So, why come to the Christmas Gala? Not only is this event an annual favourite get together, the money raised at the Gala covers the Foundation’s operating costs and ensures they can continue to help locally-based charities through its endowment – a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding that pays out a portion of funds each year in our community. Since 2002, they’ve granted more than $320,000 to community organizations. By the end of this year, they’ll help 17 groups by distributing over $50,000 in grants and scholarships. Use this night as a way to support the PDCF while getting together with good friends and experiencing an unforgettable night. Get Your Tickets!

Juno Award, SOCAN Award and multiple East Coast Music Awards – the Ennis Sisters, comprised of Maureen, Teresa and Karen, are world-renowned singers, as well as gifted musicians. The East Coast Christmas Show will take place in Perth on Nov. 24 at St. Paul’s United Church where the superb acoustics will, no doubt, be sure to welcome the sisters’ soaring harmonies.

Ennis Sisters return to Perth Nov. 24 Following their highly successful appearance at this year’s Stewart Park Festival, Newfoundland’s Ennis sisters are set to bring their traditional musical stylings back to Perth just in time for the holiday season. They will perform at St. Paul’s United Church Thursday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. With multiple accolades – a Juno Award, SOCAN Award and multiple East Coast Music Awards – the Ennis Sisters, comprised of Maureen, Teresa and Karen, are world-renowned singers, as well as gifted musicians. They were born and raised on Irish Newfoundland tunes. While their father is a button accordion player, their mother grew up on the southern shore of the Avalon, surrounded by music. Throughout the sister’s childhood, if their parents weren’t making music, it was coming through the radio – particularly the Irish radio shows which aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings. There was no escaping the traditional music all around them. “When we first began singing for an audience, these were the songs we sang. It’s what came easiest and most natural, and still does,” said Karen. Some say it’s in their bones to sing, that their voices reflect the very strength of the Atlantic itself. “That’s all we knew growing up,” said Maureen. “Newfoundland is a very unique province and because of this, we have a different perspective of our surroundings.” Maureen, the oldest, is a guitarist and songwriter. The middle-born Karen plays both the tin whistle and flute and does step dancing, while the youngest of the trio, Teresa, also step dances, and plays the bodhran. Last summer the three sisters wowed the crowds at Perth’s Stewart Park Festival with their beautiful harmonies and powerful voices. Now they are set to return to Perth with their East Coast Christmas Show, a show that will take them across Canada before returning home. The Christmas tour has become an annual event for the Ennis Sisters ever since their sophomore album “Christmas on Ennis Road” landed them their own Christmas special on CBC television. A subsequent album “It’s Christmas” earned them Celtic/Traditional Music group of the Year at the Music Newfoundland Awards and their song, “I’ll Be There Christmas Eve” continues to receive widespread airplay throughout the Christmas season. The East Coast Christmas Show consists of the three sisters singing songs from their two Christmas albums, plus traditional Christmas songs, interspersed with stories of Christmas past and present, all served with healthy doses of humour and traditional Irish dancing.
teacher and cultural committee representative, proposes that the market be transformed into the Pompeii Universal Cultural and Community Centre. For 35 years, PCC has brought together singers, actors, dancers, and musicians to stage an annual musical production that is both of and for the community.

War Amps share a lasting legacy each Remembrance Day "They passed this legacy to us younger amputees and now it's our turn to share their stories, so that we never forget their sacrifices," she says. Although Kamryn is still quite young, her mom, Dale, says it is important for her
daughter to lay a wreath on Remembrance Day. "It builds the foundation for her to understand how much our war veterans gave up for our freedom." Dale adds, "We will always be appreciative of the work of the war amputee veterans and

the message they have left for young amputees like Kamryn to carry into the future. It is for this reason that she lays a wreath every year in their honour, and will do so for many years to come." Submitted by The War Amps
MERIVALE RD
People often can't help but smile when they see six-yearold Kamryn Bond lay a wreath with her friend, Shannon Krasowski, 40, at their local Remembrance Day ceremony. Although an unlikely pair, they are both amputees and are part of a legacy that goes back nearly 100 years. Kamryn is a member, and Shannon a graduate, of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. It was war amputee veterans who created The War Amps in 1918, its Key Tag Service in 1946, and later, the CHAMP Program. Since 1975, thousands of child amputees across Canada have received financial assistance for their artificial limbs through CHAMP and attended regional seminars where they learn about growing up as an amputee. When Kamryn was 11-months-old, both of her legs, right hand, and several fingers on her left hand, were amputated due to a respiratory illness. Shannon's left leg was amputated when she was 13-years-old due to bone cancer. They met three years ago at their local Remembrance Day ceremony. That year, Ka-

Canadians with Crohn’s and colitis are making strides November is Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Month in Canada, a country with one of the highest rates of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in the world. Both are debilitating and lifelong diseases caused by an abnormal response from the body’s immune system. Canadians living with Crohn’s or colitis are making tremendous strides to end the pain and isolation, but there is more to be done. During the month of November, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is focusing on two central themes: access to medications and washroom access. “We have come a long way in increasing public awareness about these debilitating chronic diseases, but
there are still serious issues facing the nearly 250,000 Canadians living with Crohn’s or colitis. During Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Month we are asking Canadians to advocate for ‘No Forced Switch’ and to declare washroom access as a basic human right,” says Mina Mawani, president and CEO of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. Canadians with Crohn’s and colitis need stability. Don’t make them give it up. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada celebrates the introduction of safe, effective, and lower-cost treatment options, as the ultimate goal of any treatment will always be stability, achieved through disease remission. For those who have found a medicine that works for them, a forced switch to an al-
ternative medication may put their stability in jeopardy. For this reason, provincial and territorial governments should follow Nova Scotia’s lead and mandate ‘No Forced Switch’. “It can take many years for a patient to reach stability and this often only comes after a process of trial and error,” says Dr. Brian Bressler. “The choice to switch to an alternative medication should always be made by a doctor in consultation with their patient.” Join thousands of Canadians across the country by asking that doctors and their patients be able to select the treatment option best suited to each patient’s individual circumstances. Use this form to reach out to your local policymakers: action.crohnsand-
colitis.ca Open your doors and declare washroom access a basic human right. Canadians with Crohn’s or colitis live with an invisible condition, and face pain, isolation and missed moments. These chronic diseases can cause 20 or more trips to the washroom a day, and each day, Canadians desperate for public washroom access are turned away. Patients want to be active, to work, to enjoy special moments, and lead normal lives. They can’t do that when they are denied a basic necessity like access to a washroom. “We are asking the Government of Canada to recognize washroom access as a basic human right by including it in the anticipated Canadians
with Disabilities Act,” explains Eric Thomson, Manager, Public Policy and Stakeholder Relations. “Opening up washrooms inside federal government buildings for Canadians with chronic incontinence issues would set a strong example for other levels of government and private businesses to follow.” During the month of November, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada will be meeting with key federal government officials to advocate for the inclusion of washroom access in disability legislation. Canadians will have the opportunity to lend their support to this important issue through an online advocacy campaign launching later in the month. Source: Crohn’s and Colitis Canada

BR&E Alliance business reception promotes commerce in community BY JOSEPH MORIN
Joe.morin@metroland.com
Credibility, enthusiasm and innovation were the catch words at the North Grenville BR&E business reception event last week in Kemptville. The North Grenville BR&E Alliance, a group of 11 business groups promoting business in the municipality, held its sixth annual business reception event at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 26. The evening was an opportunity for members of the North Grenville business community to meet and get to now each other, share common concerns and talk about the challenges they face as they grow their business. The BR&E Alliance used the reception as an opportunity to launch its latest business and retention program 2016-2017BR&E survey with an introduction by Kevin O’Dair. The keynote speaker for the evening was Janet Campbell, owner and founder of Mrs. McGarrigle’s in Merrickville. The main part of the business reception was presented by Matt Gilmer, the economic development co-ordinator with a planning and development, and an update from Terri Devine, the municipality’s economic development officer. North Grenville Coun. Donovan Arnaud kicked off the evening’s presentations. “This is a celebration of small business,” he said. “You are all the life blood of our community.” He explained he believes community business leaders affect so many more people than they realize in a positive way as they go about growing their businesses. A short video was shown on how to detain investment in downtown. Devine said, “Housing starts have exceeding our expectations. It has been a great year so far.” Divine explained the various new projects coming to North Grenville. There is the new public school which is hoping to be up and running in the fall of 2017. Also mentioned was the

The North Grenville BR&E Alliance held their sixth annual business reception on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The keynote speaker was Janet Campbell the founder and owner of the award winning Mrs. McGarrigles in Merrickville. planned arrival of a KFC franchise and the new retirement home along County Road 43. O’Dair introduced the new BR&E survey. He explained that on average 75 to 90 per cent of new jobs came from exciting businesses. “Local business owners have a vested interest in the community,” he said. He explained that business retention and expansion was an actionorientated, community based and volunteer driven economic tool to encourage the growth and stability of local businesses. The short term goals of the BR&E include building relationships with the existing business, building capacity between organizations, identifying positive and negative attributes, address immediate concerns, collect data and create a strategic action plan.
O’Dair said,” You can participate in the BR&E survey as a volunteer interviewer, by recruiting other volunteers, join the BR&E task force team, put names forward as potential business to be interviewed, by promoting the project, recommend businesses to be interviewed and supporting the project within the community.” For more information about the Business Retention and Expansion Project 2016-2017 call Kevin O’Dair at 613 258 9569 ext 119. Or email him at klodair@northgrenville.on.ca. Janet Campbell the owner and founder of Mrs. McGarrigles was the keynote speaker. She stressed three main themes to follow that result in a successful business venture. She said integrity, innovation and sound financial management were crucial to growing a business.
“This is your bread and butter. You have to earn your customers’ respect,” she said. She explained her business and staff have been involved in many community projects and charitable events. “We have tried to make Merrickville a destination.” Campbell said it is easier to start a business these days but at the same time challenging. “Sometimes you might be tempted to compromise but you should not compromise the product you have made.” She said she is proud of the 3,000 jars of product per week that she and her staff put out. “We still make everything by hand,” she said. She cautioned business owners to not make the mistake of putting all of their eggs in one basket. On the topic of innovation, she
asked business owners to allow themselves to embrace change. “If you try something that doesn’t work you can always change it back tomorrow,” said Campbell. She encourage business owners to have a vision and make sure to share that vision with their staff. “Keep up with technology and always work to improve customer relations.” Understanding your financial reality is also important, she noted. “We all want to increase sales,” she said. “The complexity of your financial information grows as your business grows.” She suggested getting trusted financial advisors to help you instead of trying to do everything yourself. “You need someone you can trust and who understands what the numbers mean.” Campbell said you need to have a sound financial reputation. The sixth annual BR&E Alliance Business Reception was a resounding success by all accounts. The reception is a signature event for the BR& E Alliance and provides the opportunity to recognize the amazing contributions that the business community makes each and every day. This region is home to thousands of small businesses from the local baker to the largest truck dealership in Ontario. They are the life blood of these communities and the entrepreneurs are what drives the economy. A thank you was extended to small business owners for their continued dedication, passion and commitment to business and to their community. The alliance also launched its 20162017 BR+E Seminar Series. Registration is now open at www.northgrenvillebusiness.com. The dates and topics are as follows: • Nov. 16, Business Planning; • Jan. 25, Social Media Marketing for Business; and, • March 22, Developing a Marketing Plan. All of the seminars are held at at Grenville Mutual Insurance Company, 380 Colonnade Drive, in Kemptville.

Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) focuses on the importance of paying attention to how gambling makes you feel during Problem Gambling Prevention Week, which runs in the Counties of Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry from Oct. 31 to Nov. 6. Mixed feelings about your gambling, such as guilt, anxiety, or frustration, are important early warning signals. According to the RGC, listening to yourself and knowing the early signs are essential to detecting and dealing with a potential gambling problem – before it becomes serious. RGC research shows that approximately 3.4 per cent of Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem. This means that about 11,500 adults in the Counties of Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry are estimated to be negatively impacted. Many of these people think they will win big. The truth is that some will gamble to the point that they damage their finances, relationships
and health. Problem gambling can be financially and emotionally devastating for the individual involved and the most important people in their lives. During Problem Gambling Prevention Week, RGC is urging people to listen carefully to how they feel about their gambling and creating awareness of the emotional and behavioural warning signs. The week-long educational campaign includes tips on how people can take direct action to protect themselves and get free, confidential help. Early signals include: · Feeling guilty, anxious, frustrated or worried about your gambling; · Thinking or talking more than usual about gambling; · Gambling more to win back losses; · Experiencing extreme highs from gambling wins and extreme lows from gambling losses; and, · Getting irritated more easily or having less patience when dealing with normal, everyday activities. “When gambling becomes a source of worry or stress, it’s important to listen to yourself,” says Jon Kelly, CEO,
of RGC. “Ignoring changing feelings potentially puts both you and the people you care about at risk.” The good news is that paying attention to how you feel about your gambling is the first step to early detection of a potential gambling problem. For more about the emotional and behavioural signs to watch for and how to protect yourself, go to www. knowthesigns.ca.

Lombardy among communities to participate in 150th celebration gardens for Canada’s birthday Thanks to the Canadian Garden Council and a generous donation from Vesey’s Bulbs of PEI, 150 communities and organizations from coast to coast have been selected to receive a spectacular 150th Celebration Garden. Each garden consists of 1,000 red and white tulip bulbs to be planted this fall and bloom next spring just in time to say “Happy Birthday to Our Home and Native Land.” The tulip is an international symbol of friendship and of spring. For Canadians, especially, the tulip is a symbol of our national ethos of kindness and friendship, witnessed, in particular, by our providing refuge to the Dutch Royal family during the Second World War. Alexander Reford, president of the Canadian Garden Council said, “Se-
lecting successful applicants was a difficult task for our jury as we received more than 400 applications for these special gardens, more than we ever expected. Gardens play a significant role in Canadian culture and heritage and we are delighted that these 150th Celebration Gardens commemorate who we are as Canadians and how recipient communities have played a role in defining, developing and growing Canada’s international reputation as a nation of friends.” John Barrett, director of sales, marketing & development for Vesey’s Bulbs said, “Considering that the creation of Canada was a result of the Fathers of Confederation meeting in PEI, and we are a PEI-based company, we see the 150th Celebration Garden program as a great opportunity with which to celebrate the country’s
sesquicentennial.

• Make a list of any medication you take (prescribed and over-the-counter), and keep it up-to-date. Bring it with you whenever you meet with a health professional. • Get all of your medication from the same pharmacy and consult your pharmacist before starting a new treatment. Whether or not you have a prescription, it’s important to make sure that new medicine won’t interact with anything that you’re currently taking. • Never share your prescription medication with others, and never take someone else’s medication. • Always take your medication as prescribed at the times recommended for the entire duration of your prescription.
We will dispose of your expired or unused medications

• Ask your pharmacist about anything you’re unsure of regarding your medication, such as proper dosage and possible side effects, and read the printout that you’re given when your medicine is dispensed. • Do whatever it takes to remember to take your medication (buy a pill box, set reminders for yourself, etc.) If you are in charge of administering an elderly person’s medication, pay close attention to the task at hand. The smallest mistake could have dire consequences.
To learn more, visit www.canadasafetycouncil.org.
1. Make sure that your medications don’t have any side effects that might affect your ability to drive. 2. Always make sure that your car’s windshield and back window are clean. 3. Maintain a safety distance well above the two-second minimum that is generally recommended, and slow down whenever it rains, snows, and when the road is slippery. 4. Avoid driving long distances when possible. 5. Remain concentrated at all times, and don’t drive when you’re upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol or medication. 6. Plan your routes and choose roads that you know well, taking care to avoid rush-hour traffic and fast lanes. 7. Drive during the day, and avoid driving during periods of reduced visibility such as dawn or dusk. 8. Always wear your hearing aid if you have one, and minimize any background noise (turn down the radio, for instance). 9. Pay attention to your surroundings so as to have a general idea of the traffic conditions around you, and keep an eye out for cyclists, pedestrians and parked cars. 10. Check your blind spot more than once before you turn or change lanes. 11. Never assume that you have the right of way. 12. Consider taking a refresher driving course.

Celebrate Ontario 2017 now accepting applications for festival, event grants Ontario is encouraging festival and event organizers across the province to apply for Celebrate Ontario 2017 funding. Celebrate Ontario is a grant program that makes it easier for festival and event organizers to offer new and improved experiences that attract more tourists and increase visitor spending. Last year, the program supported 200 festivals and events across the province, boosting local economies. For 2017, organizers of existing large festivals and events may now apply for multi-year funding. Applicants are also encour-
aged to add enhancements that celebrate or commemorate Canada’s or Ontario’s 150th anniversary. The deadline to apply for Celebrate Ontario 2017 is Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. Investing in festivals and events across the province is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to highquality college and university
education. The plan is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and transit in Ontario’s history and is investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement. “I’m excited and proud that our government continues to support a diverse range of festivals and events across Ontario,” stated Eleanor McMahon, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

Fluid changes among newest products offered through some service departments "Hi Brian, I purchased a new Lexus ES350 in fall of 2014, serviced by my dealer in spring 2015, and had the oil changed locally in the summer of 2016. Then for personal reasons I took it to another local dealership for fall servicing. They recommended changing the oil, cabin and engine filters, checking all fluids including changing the brake fluid! I have been driving for over 70 years and have never been told to change the brake fluid, (it was quite expensive). What is your opinion on that last item? Did they con an old man? I would value your opinion. By the way the cost of total servicing was just over $500. Thanking you in advance." Yours respectfully, JH Brake fluid changes are among the newest products that many service departments are offering these days along with transmission flushes, power steering fluid flushes, coolant flushes, injection cleaning services, etc. Some of the suppliers of these chemicals offer warranties on the vehicle parts they are involved with
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
that go well beyond the carmaker's original coverage. These plans are the real value compared to simply the exchange of fluids. In the case of brake fluid, because it's a mineral oil that runs at different temperatures than the outside air, condensation can collect on the outside of steel brake lines leading to corrosion and leaks. This process usually takes four to seven years for the average Canadian vehicle; so changing your brake fluid now on a 2014 model is rather early. If the fluid exchange didn't come with extended warranty on the brake calipers, lines, and abs components, it wasn't worth the money you spent. Even with the value of these extended warranties, you need to consider how much longer your vehicle will be on the road before agreeing to purchase any of these services. "Hi Brian, My reason for contacting you
deals with the in-service date of a car. With regards to a dealer demonstrator vehicle should the in-service date start with the retail date or the date registered as a demo? I bought my car from an area Hyundai dealer in July 2013 knowing that it had been a demonstrator. However, on the purchase agreement, there is a box, which says that "If Manufacturer Warranty Applicable Time Is Measured From" "23/03/12" - see attached copy. At the time of purchase, I did ask if this was to be the in-service date and was told "yes." Initially, after a major warranty engine repair, I was told by another closer dealer that the warranty would be extended because of the engine repair. But in following up with Hyundai, I was told that they would not extend the warranty for that engine model. To create greater concern, I was told that the in-serve date was Oct. 11, 2011. I have been in communication with my selling dealer's general manager about the two different dates. I asked that he send me a letter (something in writing) stating that the inservice date was Oct. 11, 2011 since I did not have it in writing. He did send me an email stating that his dealership would honour
the manufacturer's warranty until March 22, 2017, but only if I took the car there for warranty repairs. Is this a reasonable offer on their part?" LB Yes, Hyundai is correct that inservice dates for demos are measured from the time the vehicles are first registered as demos by the retailer and not the later date when it is sold to a customer. No matter what a dealership may have told you, Hyundai (nor any other car-maker) will change that rule. That leaves you with the only option of taking your selling dealer's offer to assume the liability for any warranty issues that may arise until March 2017. Based on their written offer to you and your bill of sale, they are pretty much on the hook anyway. However if you and this dealership ever come to disagreement with an interpretation of the warranty, Hyundai Canada won't be of any help and you may end up seeking your own legal redress. I mentioned in an earlier column this year that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the US had started rating headlamp performance on new vehicles with a series of track and road tests. In the institute's evaluations, engineers measure how far light is pro-
jected from a vehicle's low beams and high beams as the vehicle travels straight and on curves. Glare from low beams for oncoming drivers is also measured. Their most recent posts cover pick-up trucks and with these vehicles' high lamp-height it would be hard to imagine how they would rate poorly but of all the trucks tested only the 2017 Honda Ridgeline scored a 'good' performance level. The 2016-2017 GMC got an 'acceptable' score, the 2017 Nissan Titan and 2016 Ram 1500 received 'marginal' ratings and every other model tested was deemed by the IIHS to have 'poor' headlamps. You can find the entire report at iihs.org by clicking on the 'news' tab. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing 'Question for the Car Counselor' on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Policing the police: Seeking a new way Angry drivers have a higher risk of BY NEVIL HUNT
nevil.hunt@metroland.com
One of the province’s most delicate responsibilities is investigating its own police officers. The process of digging into police action – or inaction – requires investigative skills and investigators who are independent from the officers under the microscope. To ensure public faith in the system, independence is key. Ontario is reviewing the way police oversight is conducted, and Justice Michael Tulloch is travelling across the province to gather ideas from the public and concerned groups. Tulloch introduced a public discussion in Ottawa on Oct. 26 by explaining the scope of his work – dubbed the independent police oversight review. “I am free to critically examine how these oversight bodies operate,” Tulloch told a group of more than 50 people gathered at the Wabano Centre on Montreal Road. “I can assure you that, in this process, you will be heard.” Tulloch is tasked with writing a report and making recommendations to Ontario’s attorney general on how to improve transparency and accountability of the oversight bodies. Tulloch is scheduled to issue his report on March 31, 2017. Among the Ottawa attendees was Matt Cicero of Vanier, who said he was badly beaten by Ottawa police about 20 years ago, when he was in his early 20s. Cicero said he wasn’t complying with officers’ orders at the time, but said officers went too far when they stripped off his clothes and pepper sprayed him before dragging him into a cell.
“I still have the scars,” Cicero said. He said the incident left him with a lack of trust for police. He decided to attend the oversight review after speaking with people at a community conference about the death of Abdirahman Abdi. The 37-year-old Ottawa man died after an encounter with Ottawa police in July, and the SIU is currently investigating that case. Cicero said he’d like to see the province “make SIU reports available to everyone.” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi – who is Ontario’s attorney general – said he attended the review meeting strictly as a local MPP, as he is, in effect, Tulloch’s boss. “The report will come to me with policy recommendations,” Naqvi said of Tulloch’s work. Naqvi said the idea of a national unit to investigate police would require a wider conversation, and he expressed support for a continuing provincial mandate. “I think it’s better if it’s local in nature, so to speak,” he said of the provincial management of oversight. On the possibility of hiring oversight investigators who are not former police officers, Naqvi avoided prejudging anything Tulloch may put in his report. “It’s exactly that kind of thing we’re looking to Justice Tulloch for his recommendations,” he said.Naqvi said Ontario is a leader among North American jurisdictions when it comes to the way police actions are investigated. “Yet we still think we can do better,” Naqvi said. To send comments about police oversight in Ontario to Tulloch, visit www.policeoversightreview.ca before Nov. 30.
collision, new CAMH research shows Angry, aggressive drivers have much higher odds of being in a motor vehicle collision than those who don’t get angry while driving, a new study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) shows. “Even minor aggression, such as swearing, yelling or making rude gestures, can increase the risk of a collision,” says lead author Dr. Christine Wickens, scientist in CAMH’s Institute for Mental Health Policy Research. The study was published in Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. Nearly one-third of Ontario drivers reported acts of minor aggression. Drivers who said they had also made threats, attempted or succeeded in damaging another car or hurting someone, had the highest odds of collision – 78 per cent higher than those whose aggression was considered minor. This risk is comparable to those who use cannabis and drive, Dr. Wickens notes, and represents two per cent of Ontarians. Study findings were drawn from the CAMH Monitor, an ongoing survey of Ontario adults’ mental health and risk behaviours, using responses from 12,830 people between 2002 and 2009. While past research has explored the relationship between aggression and collisions, this is one of the largest population-level studies to analyze this association. Just under eight per cent of Ontarians reported having a car collision in the previous year. This group was analyzed in relation to their reported aggressive behaviour, while controlling for other factors that could increase the risk of

collision such as age, sex, cannabis or alcohol use and other factors. It was striking how the risk of collision rose as the levels of aggression increased, says Dr. Wickens. People who reported no drivingrelated aggression had the lowest odds of collision, with increasing risk among those who had minor aggression, and the highest risk of all among those who reported both minor and more serious aggression. “The results clearly show that aggression is related to the risk of collision,” says Dr. Wickens. While the study doesn’t show that specific cases of anger directly caused a collision, the strong association suggests these drivers may have a greater chance of a collision because they either drive more aggressively or are distracted by their anger from other hazards on the road. “Reducing driver anger and aggression would potentially reduce the risk of collisions,” says Dr. Wickens. There are well established approaches to manage stress and anger, ranging from deep breathing techniques and listening to music to cognitive anger management programs. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital and a world leading research centre in this field. CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental illness and addiction.

A passion for
When hunting is synonymous with technological innovation Over the past few years, a constant stream of new products using the latest technologies has been developed for hunters. These include devices for all types of hunting or related areas. Needless to say, we’ve come a long way since hunters only had compasses or carved duck decoys as tools to help them track down or attract game. Now a hunting trip can begin at home by using a computer to locate and analyze hunting grounds. Hunters can also visit their hunting grounds and subsequently transfer data collected using a GPS to maps on their computers. This lets hunters become familiar with their territory so they can exploit strategic sectors. Astute hunters can also use motion-activated trail cameras to take photographs of the game in their territory. These devices can even transmit photos directly to a remote computer using cellphone radio waves.
But that’s not all. Electronic game calls are now available for those who aren’t proficient enough in the art of calling game animals. And for those whose hearing is starting to deteriorate, there are also personal sound amplification devices that can be worn in the ear. Of course the most recent innovations are related to the virtual world. After all, it isn’t surprising that more and more mobile apps are available to hunters, including some for checking current hunting regulations.
These days there are lots of technological tools to help hunters.
Hunting: the best tool for managing animal populations create problems for farmers and cause thousands of road collisions every year, and snow geese, whose flocks can annihilate a crop when they land in farmers’ fields. These types of events generate enormous social costs, particularly for car insurers and farmers. Hunting is scientifically re cognized as the best management tool available in helping to control these phenomena. The method has additional benefits as well.
Apart from its recreational pleasures, hunting plays an important role in controlling animal populations, especially where rural and urban areas meet. This management role is very important considering that the natural landscape has changed dramatically since the early days of colonization.
• There is no cost attached to governments or to individual landowners who allow hunting. • Hunting quotas can be adjusted according to population size. • It creates significant economic benefits in all regions, including major urban centres. • No other method of animal population control is as effective as hunting.
Indeed, the development of urban and agricultural zones has created favourable biological conditions for many animal species, to the point where many have become overpopulated. Two examples of animal popula- Hunters believe that their sport tions that have become too numer- is an activity that society should ous are the white-tailed deer, which support.

Historic World Series between Cubs, Indians has been fun to follow I realize how popular the Toronto Blue Jays have become and that is wonderful for them and for the future of baseball in Canada which, up until Jays’ recent playoff runs, had clearly been flagging. Sports fans love a winner and that has been a big factor in the Toronto team’s surging popularity. I was shocked to find that people I didn’t think gave a hoot about team sports of any kind were hanging on every pitch. That was especially true during last fall’s competitive American League Championship Series (ALCS) against Kansas City Royals and last month’s disappointing showdown with Cleveland Indians. In October 2015 Jays were beaten by a red-hot Kansas City team who went on to claim only the second World Series title in club history. Most recently, against Cleveland, Toronto bats were as ice cold as the wintry winds that will soon blow through our part of the world. Blue Jays just plain stopped hitting, although full credit has to go to an injury-riddled Indians’ pitching staff that, collectively, came through in style at just the right time. But how quickly we forget! As soon as Blue Jays flew south for the winter so too did the excitement I had been hearing and seeing everywhere about baseball. Up until Game 5 of this year’s ALCS, virtually every conversation I had on the street, in the
Reflections By Jeff maguire
supermarket or in the pub included a chat about Jays and their second consecutive post season run. It was amazing how many people were following the ball club’s success. After the shutout loss in the fifth game at Rogers Centre there was nothing but stony silence. I didn’t hear so much as a peep from those I know the week after Cleveland officially booked their place in the World Series. That despite the fact they are now embroiled in an historic series against the National League (NL) Chicago Cubs. Cleveland hasn’t won baseball’s biggest prize since 1948 while Cubs’ drought – the longest in the sport – goes all the way back to 1908. An incredible 108 years! As a lifelong baseball fan the sudden downturn in interest is disappointing. It conjures images of fair weather fans and people who really aren’t that interested in the sport itself. As for me, it wasn’t difficult to shift allegiance and cheer for Cleveland during the World Series that began a
week ago Tuesday. For one thing I have a tendency to support underdogs and heading into the “Fall Classic” the NL champion Cubs were heavy favourites. But going into Game 5 of the series Sunday night in Chicago they had their backs firmly against the wall, trailing the surprising Indians 3-1 in games in the best-of-seven. Cubs managed to eke out a 3-2 victory, forcing the series back to Cleveland for a sixth game Tuesday and possibly a seventh and deciding contest last night. Unfortunately because of newspaper production deadlines I can’t comment on the final result this week! There are a number of reasons I decided to support Cleveland this time around. As a fan of the Detroit Tigers and the Blue Jays my main baseball focus these days is the American League (AL). When Montreal Expos were supplanted and ended up in Washington D.C. my interest in the National League (NL) quickly waned. No, I’m definitely not a Washington fan. Call it sour grapes if you like! Bested Detroit Despite the fact Cleveland bested Detroit in the AL Central Division this season I still have to stick with the Indians. Tigers simply couldn’t match the Tribe in their many head-to-head meetings this regular season. It was Detroit’s inability to beat Cleveland
that left them on the outside looking in when the Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs began in early October. Despite their ineptitude versus Indians the second place Tigers narrowly missed a wild-card playoff berth. All things considered, my main reason for supporting the Indians in this World Series is a personal one. My late father Howard was a huge fan of the team. Dad passed away two years ago this month, age 84. He would have been so thrilled to see Cleveland in the World Series, especially against the Chicago Cubs. My father was no stranger to the Cubs. In retirement he was among the first people in this region to invest in a satellite dish. That was mainly so he could watch his favourite sport baseball. In those days Chicago superstation WGN carried every Cubs’ game. During the early 1990s it seemed that every time I visited my parents’ home, during the baseball season, Dad was watching a Cubs’ game beamed to him via satellite. He was also a huge fan of the late Harry Caray, the colourful radio/TV announcer who spent the last 16 years of his illustrious career in Cubs’ broadcast booth. Harry died in 1998, age 83. My father collected a lot of baseball memorabilia over the years and he was especially proud of the items he retained relative to Cleveland Indians. Those souvenirs are now safely in

the hands of his grandson Craig (my son), who is a bigger, more knowledgeable baseball fan than either his Dad or his Grand-dad. My father’s interest in Cleveland baseball went back to the 1940s when Indians were an AL powerhouse. In 1948, under the leadership of playing manager Lou Boudreau (he won the AL Most Valuable Player award that season) Cleveland won the World Series. Besides outstanding shortstop Boudreau the championship Indians included such outstanding players as pitchers Bob Feller, Bob Lemon and colourful Leroy ‘Satchel’ Paige along with outfielder Larry Doby and catcher Jim Hegan. Doby, an outstanding Black athlete, was the second player to break baseball’s colour barrier, following in the footsteps of the great Jackie Robinson. Doby also played part of the 1959 season in Detroit which, until the Canadian teams came along, was my Dad’s second favourite MLB team. My father often talked about the trip he and my mother made in 1950 to see her parents in Chatham, Ontario. It was the summer after they were married. They decided to travel via Cleveland where my Dad planned to purchase tickets for an Indians’ game. They would then continue around the south shore of Lake Erie to Detroit and on to Chatham to visit her family. See REFLECTIONS page 33

Slight delay My parents were travelling in their 1941 Chevrolet Deluxe. They made it safely through Upstate New York. But just west of Erie, Pennsylvania the car packed it in. A carburetor problem! It was Sunday, most places were closed and it looked like they were stranded, with little chance of making it to Cleveland for the game. The Indians were completing a home stand that day. A kindly motorist drove them back to a service station which, fortunately for them, was located beside the operator’s house. His business was shuttered Sundays. But on hearing their plight he took my father in his tow truck to retrieve the car. My Mum stayed with the chap’s wife and children. An expert mechanic the man soon had them back on the road. They arrived in Cleveland partway through the first game of a doubleheader. There was no problem getting seats. Cavernous old Municipal Stadium seated 78,000 for baseball. They enjoyed the remainder of Game 1 and watched the entire nightcap. Dad vividly recalled how wonderful it was to watch his team play in person while drinking a tall, cold beer – for 10 cents a glass! Incidentally Municipal Stadium was demolished in 1996 to make way for FirstEnergy Stadium the current
home of Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. The Indians play in Progressive Field, a purpose built stadium they first occupied in 1993. The current Cleveland-Chicago showdown is a big one because no matter who wins they will break a lengthy World Series dry spell. Cubs’ fans have been particularly rabid in trying to help push their team to the title! The series features two of the best managers in baseball. Chicago skipper Joe Maddon, who is in just his second season with the team, is arguably the best manager in the game. Maddon is a thinker who, win or lose, always gets the best from his players. Cleveland bench boss Terry Francona (the former Montreal Expos’ star) is my personal pick as the best manager in the game today. Francona already has one World Series title under his belt. In 2004 he guided Boston Red Sox to their first trophy since 1918. I was furious when Detroit passed Francona over in 2013 and he went to division rival Cleveland instead. But heading into this week I was looking forward to Halloween with my grandchildren. However Tuesday night and possibly Wednesday too were reserved for watching baseball on TV and seeing an historic outcome. No matter which team won it has been a good year for the grand old game!

Vitamin D Day kicks off Vitamin D Awareness Month With Canadian Vitamin D levels dropping year after year, the Vitamin D Society is kicking off its eighth annual Vitamin D Awareness Month with Vitamin D Day on Nov. 2 to help spread the message across the country. The Vitamin D Society is using the month to bring vitamin D deficiency to light for Canadians who may not understand the affects that a lack of vitamin D can have on the human body. “Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a higher risk of serious diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and others,” says Dr. Gerry Schwalfenberg, Scientific Advisor for the Vitamin D Society and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta. “The month of November is crucial for Canadians because it is the start of our vitamin D winter. The low angle of the sun means that sunlight no longer produces vitamin D in our skin, therefore it’s important to examine your vitamin D levels to ensure your body isn’t at risk.”
Approximately 12 million Canadians do not meet vitamin D blood level requirements of 50 nmol/L set by Health Canada and the Institute of Medicine. This figure rises to 14 million —40 per cent of us — during winter months. The Vitamin D Society recommends that Canadians raise their mean level of vitamin D higher, to at least 100 nmol/L year-round to receive the full benefits of the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D Day is a chance for Canadians to join the pledge to increase vitamin D levels. “People wonder why so many Canadians are vitamin D deficient and it’s simple really. We mainly get vitamin D from non-burning sun exposure, but Canadians are now living indoor lifestyles more than ever, even in the summer,” says Perry Holman, Executive Director for the Vitamin D Society. “When we avoid the sun, our vitamin D levels are going to be much lower than they should be. With winter fast approaching, and Canadians spending more time indoors, it’s vital that everyone
take action to ensure their vitamin D levels don’t drop until it’s nice enough to get back outside and enjoy the sun.” For vitamin D intake during winter months, the Vitamin D Society recommends Canadians use artificial UVB sources or supplements. When spring returns, Canadians can go back to getting their vitamin D from non-burning exposure to the sun. Canadians can get their vitamin D levels checked by their physicians, or online, through a simple 25(OH)D blood test to ensure they aren’t deficient. Make sure your score is between 100-150 nmol/L. To learn more about vitamin D, please visit VitaminDDay.net, where you can watch a quick, informational video.

SALES REPRESENTATIVE
Jonsson’s Independent one of 20 locations across Ontario to sell beer and wine BY JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@metroland.com
The Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer in Kemptville now sells beer and wine. Loblaw Companies Limited announced on Oct. 28 that Jonsson’s is one of 20 locations across the province to sell beer and wine. The store will display hundreds of wine and beer varieties, with equal representation of Ontario’s VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) and local craft beer and multinational and imported brands. North Grenville residents can now add the biggest names in wine and beer directly to their grocery carts. “Fifty per cent of the beers are craft beers,” explained Steve Jonsson, store
owner. “It’s all about promoting Ontario small business.” Only Ontario wine will be sold at Jonsson’s for three years, after which the restriction will be lifted and international varieties can be brought in. Selling beer and wine is a “natural fit,” he said. “The beer and wine tie in with meals; family, friends and visiting.” The beer and wine are currently set up in aisles at the center of the store, with beer on one side and wine on the other. In the New Year, the beer and wine will be moved into a refrigerated display. “That will include a demo station for our customers,” said Jonsson, who has heard nothing but positive comments.
Steven’s Creek Shutter Company 613-706-1250 www.stevenscreekshutterco.ca
“Customers purchasing beer and wine can go through all eight lanes when they come up to the cash,” he explained. All the cashiers of legal age have their Smart Serve certification and underage cashiers will be assisted by those with Smart Serve if a customer is purchasing beer or wine. Approximately 140 varieties of wine and 180 varieties of beer are being sold at Jonsson’s. The store will sell beer and wine from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Loblaw is expanding convenience and choice for Ontario customers with the introduction of wine and beer on shelf in 20 locations, all the while continuing its commitment to equal representation for Ontario producers. “Ontarians come to our stores looking for outstanding flavours and meal inspiration,” stated Grant Froese, Chief Operation Officer for Loblaw, in a press release. “With more than 600 varieties of wine, beer and cider on our shelves, we are uniquely positioned to help them put a great meal on their table. Customers in 39 communities will have increased convenience. We

varieties of wine, 200 beer and 25 cider options, including local and regional favourites and must-try international products. “When we rolled out beer in 2015, we committed to equal shelf space for domestic craft and multinational brands – to the benefit of our customers and small Ontario
brewers,” stated Greg Ramier, head of liquor sales for Loblaw, in a press release. “We look forward to giving customers access to great Ontario wines, and giving great Ontario wines access to new customers.” “We applaud Loblaw’s commitment to Ontario

members. The first order of business was to get a website up and running that would be the life-line of the club. As the club grew so did its membership. By the end of 2009, there were more than 80 active members. By the end of 2015 that number had blossomed into 350. Becoming a member is easy; fill out a membership form which can be found on their website or in person at any of their cruise night events. Their website is: http://www. highway43carclub.com The club does not ask its members for any fees but does ask those to be willing to volunteer from time to time when they are needed. A big part of the club’s goals is to actively support charities and organizations within the community. Since 2008, the club has supported groups such as the Children’s Wish Foundation (Ottawa Chapter), the Kemptville Youth Center, the Winchester Dairyfest Committee, and the Merrickville Youth Group, Kanata Food Cupboard, Kemptville Salvation Army Food Bank, and the Dundas County Food Bank.
At each of their events they collect food for the various food agencies in their area. “We can make ourselves available to any charitable group putting on an event,” said Rafter. The club, when invited, can bring their music and exciting car display to liven up just about any community event. The club also takes the time to go to several seniors’ residences during the summer to share with those who enjoy the trip down memory lane. “We simply put the word out for members to help with an event and everyone ends up helping everybody,” said Mike Lecuyer. The club currently enjoys a membership of more than 400. This will be the 11th year they have been hosting their regular Friday night cruise nights at Food Basic in Kemptville. The Highway 43 Car Club started out Rafter’s idea. He believed Desmond Devoy/Metroland there were all kinds of car enthusiast living along County Road 43 in towns like Kemptville, Winchester, The club will continue its supChesterville, and Merrickville.

Inaugural Rural Summit provides rural residents opportunity to voice concerns, discuss issues BY JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Have a voice. The inaugural Rural Summit, which will be held Nov. 26 at Parish Hall on the Kemptville College grounds, is an opportunity for rural residents to speak their minds. “It could be an instrument for communication, especially with rural taxpayers,” said North Grenville Coun. Jim Bertram, who brought forth the resolution in 2015 to hold a rural summit this year. “The municipality always has to work on communication; giving information and receiving feedback. I hope this contributes to that process.” The goal of the summit is to highlight specific taxpayer issues, such as transportation, economics and social issues. “There are lots of issues with rural twists,” said Bertram. “It is really, really important to have that openness.” Attendance by residents is the key component to make the sum-
mit successful, he said. “To make the summit worth anything, there needs to be participation by residents.” The ideas and comments gathered from the breakout sessions throughout the summit will be compiled into summaries and used for future development. “The hope is for a rural committee to evolve from the first summit,” said Bertram. “The committee would function as a continuing means for communication. Perhaps a bridge to the next summit, which will hopefully be held in 2018.” Partial credit for the rural summit goes to CAO Brian Carré, who encouraged Bertram to bring forth the resolution last year. “He also helped me with my research,” said Bertram. “I brought the resolution forward, but he was the key person in helping me get the information to do it.” If an agricultural committee does form following the summit, it would have to be active, transparent and open to receiving new ideas, explained Bertram.
“We will see what happens with the summit. If there’s no interest, then the idea of a committee will be a no-go. I’d like this to be a success for the municipality. I’d like at the end to be able to say whatever happened, happened. But we were successful.” Registration for the free event is now open and can be found at www.2016ruralsummit.eventbrite.com. Attendees will be welcomed at 8:30 a.m., with presentations beginning at 9 a.m. Presentations include ‘agriculture and rural resources in North Grenville’ by Katie Nolan of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), ‘communications and the municipal decision making process’ by deputy clerk Katie Valentin and clerk Cahl Pominville and breakout sessions led by municipal senior management. Lunch will be held at 12 noon, followed by the familiarization bus tour from 1:15 to 3 p.m. (subject to minimum registration numbers). “Registration runs right up until the day of the event,” said
Teri Devine, economic development officer, who helped plan the event. The bus tour will show the “diverse nature of rural North Grenville,” said Devine. Many choices are being considered for the specific stops during the bus tour, but have yet to be nailed down. “Not everyone who lives in North Grenville knows the rural areas or the gems we have. The rural areas are a key piece of our community, our history and our future.” The purpose of the summit is to bring residents together to learn and identify new opportunities. Council built the agenda for the summit around the goals identified in the strategic plan. “This event stems from the strategic plan and addresses two things identified in it; hosting a rural summit and doing a familiarization tour. This is how we continue to work together to maintain the rural way of life. This is how we start that dialogue.” So far, 44 people have registered for the event.

The Childrens’ book was inspired by time the author spent living in North Gower near Stevens Creek.
The Frogs on Steven’s Creek BY Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
Former North Gower resident Peter Murdoch and illustrator Shelley Birkholz have teamed up to create a great children’s story, called the Frogs on Stevens Creek. The theme of the story is co-operation, compassion and teaching children ways to deal with bullies in their own lives as well as the positive affect they can have on everyone around them. Murdoch now lives close to his children and grandchildren in the small southern Ontario town of Dundas. “I loved Ottawa and especially the creek. I was fortunate enough that my backyard overlooked Stevens Creek, the park and post office, all key settings for the story. I felt so fortunate,” he said. “On summer nights the frogs kept me company with their croaking, telling their stories of the day.” As a former journalist, Murdoch is no stranger to having his work published, however a children’s book is another matter entirely. “As a journalist I have published many articles but this is the first book,” he noted. “Depending on the reception – wonderful so far – I may write another children’s story.” He wanted the book to be an Ottawa Valley production so he teamed up with Baico Publishing in Ottawa. His search for
an illustrator led him to Shelly Birkholz. “I found Shelley, who lived in Osgoode and knew the creek well. It was a match. Beautiful illustrations,” he said. The story begins with a colony of frogs who live in Stevens Creek. They have a good life but from time to time children come down to the creek and unwittingly hurt them when they scoop them out of the creek and squeeze them too tight. Not only do the frogs worry about well intending children hurting them but there is one child named Jimmy who seems to deliberately enjoy hurting the frogs when he comes down to Steven’s Creek for a visit. The oldest and wisest frog, Grandfather frog, has been trying to come up with a way to stop the bully Jimmy from hurting the frogs and at the same time educate the children who come to the creek to play that they may hurt the frogs if they are not careful. Grandfather frog comes up with a plan to hold a special evening on the creek where the frogs perform all kinds of acrobatic showcases with local children and their parents as their audience. His hope is that the children will be more gentle with the frogs once they have had a chance to see them in action. He even has a clever plan to get the message out to the children. The frogs are successful in getting the attention of the
children. They have their special evening of performing and connect with children ensuring the frogs will be safer in the future. As for Jimmy, who likes to bully the frogs, Grandfather frog has a special message for him which turns Jimmy’s attitude around and makes a friend out of the frogs’ worst enemy. Murdoch believes the story will resonate with parents and their children. “The Frogs on Stevens Creek is fun and very exciting. But there are messages – the story tells of the ingenuity and creativity of nature to heal wounds – even those of a bully. It is a story of the strength of community to solve difficult challenges. And it spotlights how rewarding the relationship between nature and people can be,” he remarked. “I love children, they are a great gift to cherish and entertain. I wrote this for my grandchildren.” Children along with their parents will appreciate the story as well as the illustrations that go along with the narrative. The coloured drawings by Shelly Birkholz bring the story to life. As an artist she loves exploring and drawing nature so the book was a natural home for her illustrations. The Frogs on Stevens Creek is published by Baico Publishing Inc. and can be purchased in Manotick at the Black Dog. You can also go to www. frogcreek.weebly.com to order a copy.

Letter to the Editor
Mayor says UCDSB review process flawed Hello all, Please join us at Wolford Public School on Saturday, Nov. 5 between 2-4 p.m. for a rally to keep the school open. The school is located at 2159 County Rd. 16 (between Merrickville and Eastons Corners). Have a hot chocolate and sign our petition to keep the school open. Wolford Public school is one of the Upper Canada District School Board schools recommended for closure. In my opinion, the whole process is flawed starting with the UCDSB, which attempted to silence the elected representatives in the decision making process. This is being addressed by the council of the UCLG (United Counties of Leeds and Grenville) to the attention of the Premier and the Minister of Education. The Accommodation Review Committees are not being provided sufficient time to prepare for a presentation and have to compete for a limited number of spots to be heard which does not even guarantee each school an opportunity to be heard according to our representatives who attended the ARC meeting. They were given a comprehensive manual

The Municipality of North Grenville (the Municipality) is initiating a Municipal Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Update for the optimization and expansion of the Municipality’s Water Pollution Control Plant (sewage treatment) and the Bridge Street Pumping Station located in the urban community of Kemptville. In 2010, Phases 1 to 4 of the Class EA process were completed and the Municipality initiated Phase 5 of the process by commencing dialogue with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority regarding the potential for a phosphorus offsetting program. Due to financial constraints, further progress with the phosphorus offsetting program and proposed Water Pollution Control Plant upgrades identified in the Environmental Study Report (ESR) were deferred. An updated Class EA is required as there have been significant changes in the Project Environment since completion of the ESR (i.e., changes to flows associated with the 2010 Class EA design period, project costs, changing receiving stream quality, development of innovative and energy efficient technology, etc.) As part of the Class EA process for reviewing the Water Pollution Control Plant and Sanitary Pump Station Optimization and Expansion, public comment during the evaluation of alternative solutions will be requested. The Municipality is planning to conduct two public information sessions during the course of the study. Project information will also be available to the public at the Municipal Office and the Municipality’s website, www.northgrenville.ca. We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have about this project. A public database of comments will be maintained and, with the exception of personal information, included in the study documentation that will be made available for public review. Parties interested in providing input or that wish to obtain additional information at this stage of the study are asked to submit comments in writing to: The Municipality of North Grenville; Water Pollution Control Plant and Sanitary Pump Station Optimization and Expansion Class EA Update Mrs. Sarah Gore, P.Eng. c/o J.L.

Help shape the Merrickville-Wolford community Last month, we told you about a survey designed to gather your views on life in our community now and in the future. A link to the online version of the survey was posted on the Merrickville-Wolford website and hard copies made available on request. The survey is one element in an information gathering process to develop a Strategic Plan, which will guide decisions by our Village Council for years to come. Many of you have responded to the survey and we thank you but we’re not done yet. Now that the survey is closed and responses have been carefully reviewed, we invite all residents to partici-
pate in a focus group. There will be two of these: Nov. 9 – 7 to 9 p.m. at Merrickville Community Centre; and Nov. 10 - 7 to 9 p.m., Wolford Community Centre, Eastons Corners. Led by a professional facilitator, the focus groups will help clarify and develop the perspectives and priorities presented in survey responses. In simple terms, we want to make sure we fully understand what you are telling us. For those of you who did not complete a survey, this is a second chance to have your say. Don’t miss out! A third and final step in the public consultation component of the process will be a workshop
held on Nov. 18, 2016. All available socio-economic data as well as data gathered through the survey and focus groups will be presented by a facilitator. Participants will then be asked to help develop: goals and priorities; action plans and a monitoring framework. Given the significance of this final step, it is imperative that those in attendance represent a broad cross section of the community. Individual participants will therefore be meticulously selected based on criteria like age and gender in order to ensure that the group accurately reflects the demographic profile of the community. Care will also be taken to en-
sure that rural residents as well as those living in the Village are represented. So, help shape your community by contributing your ideas and vision for our future! Who are we? We are the Merrickville-Wolford Strategic Planning Committee, a cross section of residents, businesses, community organizations, councillors and staff assembled to gather input, collect relevant data, and provide recommendations to Council.

MP Gord Brown disappointed Health Minister refuses to help Thalidomide survivors receive compensation
COMMITTEE MEETINGS Library Board – Thursday, November 10 at 7:00 pm at the Public Library, 1 Water St.
Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville – Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, says he is disappointed that the federal Health Minister is refusing to take steps to help Canada’s forgotten Thalidomide survivors. On Tuesday Brown today hosted on Parliament Hill, 14 Thalidomide survivors including Gananoque’s Terry Bolton, to highlight the problems they are having acquiring compensation from the government. “In 2015 our Conservative government established a compensation program for Thalidomide survivors and handed the responsibility to serve them to Crawford Class Action Services,” explained Brown. “A number of them have been rejected by Crawford without an examination or an inperson interview.” The program failure was first brought to the MP’s attention by Bolton in the spring so Brown asked a question about it in the House of Commons and was assured that Crawford was reviewing all cases across Canada. “Terry received a rejection letter this summer, so I asked Health Minister Jane Philpott again to explain why

these survivors are not being compensated,” notes Brown. She stated: “An objective review process was used to assess individuals to determine who was eligible for support.” And she added: “Additional survivors may yet be identified as some applications remain under review.” But all these folks have already been rejected. Brown and the survivors
held a press conference Tuesday morning (Oct. 25) on Parliament Hill and again asked the Minister to intervene and demand Crawford review these files and include a personal interview and medical examination. Tuesday in Question Period Brown again asked the Minister to change her mind. She refused. “I also invited her to visit
with these survivors to hear their stories and she refused to do that as well,” he added. He explained that he has not given up the fight on behalf of the survivors. Their story will air on an episode of W5 later this fall and he will continue to press the Minister on their behalf. Submitted by the office of MP Gord Brown

OPINION
T
Bye, bye money
his one is a true head-shaker people. The municipality is spending $25,000 to beautify a park it doesn’t own. This is not news to me, as I have been listening to it being debated and discussed for nearly two years. However, now there are plans. And money has been spent. And they are actually going ahead with this project. I hope this way of thinking is not contagious, otherwise I may find myself over at the neighbours tonight painting some walls or cutting the grass. To add insult to injury, there was no public consultation done with regards to the design of the park. Taxpaying citizens spent good money on making a drawing of what the park could be. And the resulting design was a mirror image of what’s there today, with the addition of new shrubs and a kiosk. I am beginning to wonder what is going on with council these days. You ask for a gazebo to be built at Maplewood Park in Oxford Mills, to replace a historic centerpiece of the park that was torn down, which is municipal property – even offer to fundraise half the amount – and you get laughed out of the building. But come in with a proposal to beautify a park we don’t even own, and that’s a no brainer! This is federally owned land. Are you telling me the federal govern-

Connected to your community
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION ment is in such dire straits they have to lean on the Municipality of North Grenville to beautify their own property? That is the most backward thing I have heard this week. I understand the importance of beautifying the downtown. After all, the downtown is the true lifeblood of any community. But for the municipality to spend a decade developing heavily on County Road 43 and then bemoan the fact the downtown is fading economically is like not spending money on heritage buildings for two decades and then wondering why they are falling down... There is not enough money to address needed infrastructure; not enough to rehabilitate heritage structures; not enough to build a gazebo in Oxford Mills. But there is $25,000 in the budget to beautify property belonging to the federal government. I am sorry, but no matter how you spin that one, it’s wrong. That’s enough money to pay someone to tend to that park every single day. And create a job while you do it.

How I spent my summer vacation
es, I realize we are halfway through fall already but I just wanted to share with everyone a little bit of what I’ve been up to these last few months. On July 3rd, I left my radio job in Kemptville and went to the big city to become the evening news producer at CFRA. The team was wonderfully supportive and welcoming. I was very impressed with their company culture where everyone is on the same level and even the little guy gets a thank you for a job well done. I learned how to scan the newswires and social media feeds for news tips, and whom to call for an interview at each of the main hubs – police, fire, paramedics. There wasn’t the same connection with community as there is at the small radio station in Kemptville – but then we were speaking to a much larger group of people. My commute was 150 kilometres round trip, daily. I got up in the morning, did some work around the farm, made sure the Farmer had something to warm up for dinner, then I hit the highway for
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
the city around 1 p.m. Quite often I had lunch with my husband before heading in – because otherwise I would never see the guy. Once in the city, I made my way through heavy traffic and LRT construction to the Byward Market. I pulled up to my parking lot on Clarence, just a ten minute walk from work. I wriggled my large Ford Explorer between two yellow lines every weekday afternoon. Sometimes I had to crawl out through the passenger door so I wouldn’t hit the neighbouring car with my door. After my shift I slipped out the back door of the studio onto York Street, keys splayed through my fingers like I was taught long ago in a self defense class. Call me paranoid but I never did become relaxed after
dark on my ten minute walk back to the car. Maybe it was the fact that I reported the public shootings and stabbings each day on the news. One night mid-August I was greeted at the door and escorted across the parking lot as I often was, by Bonnie and Clyde – the two rats that lived in the back of the former Fat Tuesdays restaurant. Once out on the street, I was accosted by a blonde woman, about my age, who would be pretty if she had all her teeth. I reminded her that I didn’t hand out cash but I did have a rather soft ham sandwich she might enjoy. She took it with thanks . Later in the fall I came upon her sleeping in a doorway on a piece of cardboard. She yelled as I passed, “I’ll tell you a joke for a dollar!” and startled me. I told her she should find a safe place to sleep indoors. She said it’s safer outside. That same night I saw two people doing something questionable in the empty lot on the block where I parked. Another person was urinating in the corner beside the Shepherds of Good Hope building. Dozens of people sat outside, huddled in tight
groups and alone. The smell of marijuana wafted through the air. A group of young men – probably in their mid-20s, with pants barely hanging onto their hips and hoods pulled up even though it wasn’t cold, followed me two blocks. It was a full moon that night. A strange energy thickened the air. As I returned home after work one night in early October and saw my husband had once again fallen asleep on the sofa, an empty pizza box beside him, I made my decision. All things were pointing to my leaving my job in the city and returning home, to work on the farm. Some people – I’ve met them – would give their two front teeth to
work in radio. I realize I’ve been lucky to have had that experience these last five years. But it’s time for a change. I will be working at home, offering freelance writing and editing services. Now I can make my own hours and be available for the folks who need me. So if you’re looking for me, I’m on social media @farmwife and I’m out here in my farmhouse office in Oxford Mills, on O’Neill Road.

MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH GRENVILLE
Waterfront Trails and Pedestrian Bridge on South Branch of the Rideau River Project
NOTICE OF COMPLETION
THE MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH GRENVILLE has completed the process for a multi-use pathway along the South Branch of the Rideau River and proposed pedestrian bridge over the South Branch of the Rideau River. The Municipality of North Grenville retained CIMA to prepare a detailed design for this project. Preliminary designs were developed for the waterfront trail and pedestrian bridge and presented at a public meeting at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on March 4, 2015. This waterfront trail and pedestrian bridge project is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) which was prepared by the Municipal Engineers Association and was approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.

Gardener’s Corner distance. It was snowing big fat flakes.
Last week we had two of our gardening friends over for a little garden tour and dinner. Last year they gave us a cruise up the Rideau on their houseboat, a dance through their dahlias and a warm comfortable dinner. With every plant and tree we were shown came a story. Gardeners are full of stories. The plants and trees are like our children. Milestones are marked and there is pride in all success and regret where we have not done our best Last week we told them our stories. Every tree, every shrub and all the perennials have a history. A connection to friends and family. The trees we planted for all the kids, the memorial trees for Mom and Dad, the Anniversary perennials from my cousin and his wife last fall. Everywhere we look in the garden has a memory. They are not just random varieties planted and maintained by someone else. They are our babies. They were chosen or a thoughtful gift by others that like to grow The last couple of weeks I’ve been puttering around with woodworking projects to help raise a few dollars for Angie’s library and make a few extra dollars for Christmas. One of these projects is a scroll-sawn horse and sleigh mounted on barn board. Angie has been lusting after this particular piece “Why do you like this one so much?” “ Years ago, I was out on the front porch stringing garlands and hanging Christmas wreaths and I heard jingling bells in the
Along the road came Jim our neighbour with his horse and sleigh. He was doing a test run before his annual sleigh ride with the neighbours. I couldn’t help thinking how much I love the country. When I saw what you were working on, it brought back that memory.” So many memories. Larry dragging a highbush cranberry out of the ditch with his old pickup truck and chains and us having to transplant and straighten it the next morning after far too many laughs and libations. Twenty seven years ago we were interlopers in this tiny community. We have been embraced by all our neighbours. First with Herb and Rita and their kids. Steve and neighbour Andy were here in a heartbeat during the ice storm with a generator to kick up our furnace. Larry and Nancy provided firewood. Gary and Annette have suffered my lack of vehicle maintenance and fixed our vehicles with humour and reasonable prices. Jim and Joan are just down the road and never fail to offer help or just stop by to talk. We have a history with Russell and Brenda in Shanly. Our kids grew up together and she was always in the front office of their school. I had so much fun with their bright son that embraced ham radio. Good stories and a few bad, but stories If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

NGCSC and Knights of Columbus team up to make hampers The North Grenville Community Service Council wishes to thank all those who made Christmas possible for many in our community last year. Each year we help the Knights of Columbus who provide for so many families during the year with their food bank accessible to all, but especially at Christmas with hampers and gifts for children. This team of volunteers work hard with one goal in mind; no family will suffer or go hungry. A tree will soon go up at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Kemptville with angels bearing the information of a child or youth’s Christmas wishes. To make a referral, contact Fred MacDonald with the Knights of Columbus by emailing fred.macdonald@ hotmail.com or calling (613)-447-9039 or Claire Larabie with the NGCSC by emailing askmeone@sympatico.ca or calling (613)-258-6470 before Dec. 10 for Christmas Hampers.

6 The memories and the poppy It happened on November 11, 1918, at 5 o’clock in the morning, in Compiègne, France. The Armistice was signed, officially ending the First World War. Unfortunately, it did not end the conflicts, and numerous wars have since been fought. Nevertheless, for many people, November 11 remains the day to reflect on all the soldiers who died in war, all the wars. They died to preserve peace and freedom,our peace and our freedom. Today, soldiers are still going to war. Today, soldiers continue to leave their families to go to the front. Peace and liberty have no price, but their cost is often very high, too high.
Mayor David Gordon receiving his poppy for 2016. At this time of the year, many people wear the symbol for this event: the poppy. The sale of poppies is the main source of financing for the Royal Canadian Legion, whose mission is to serve ex-service persons and their dependents, to promote Remembrance Day, and to act in the service of Canada and its communities. The generosity of Canadians enables the Legion to ensure that our veterans and their dependents are cared for and treated with the respect they deserve. The November poppy campaign also helps perpetuate Remembrance Day by allowing the Legion to maintain a leading role in the creation and care of memorials honouring our veterans. In collaboration with other veterans’ organizations, the Legion ensures the preservation of the memories of our fallen Canadian heroes. At this time of the year, many people wear the symbol for this event: the poppy.

Staples Kemptville and the generosity of our community, through the Staples back to school drive has donated an amazing $845 worth of backpacks and school supplies for our local children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
Staples donates to Big Brothers Big Sisters Staples is a successful company that has a heart and soul. Our people get involved locally; they contribute to the fabric of society – locally, first, and then through national programs. Staples Canada is banding together with customers and local charities for the 11th annual Staples for Students School Supply Drive • The School Supply Drive is an annual campaign held at all Staples Canada locations to purchase and collect school supplies for students who need assistance. • Donated supplies and funds stay in the local community and are given to students in need through the store’s local partner (charity) • Funds and supplies go to local charitable groups like Boys and Girls Clubs and United Way
• Customers can made donations from July 27 to September 13, 2016 at every Staples store • The School Supply Drive is one of Staples Canada’s key charitable programs and is a Staples tradition. Big Brother and Big Sisters believe every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, both as individuals and citizens. We believe that by changing the course of young lives we can in turn be changing the course of a community’s future. That it could lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment. Or to safer schools and neighbourhoods. We believe that opening a child’s eyes to what is – opens their mind to what could be. For one hundred years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a posi-
tive difference in the lives of our nation’s youth by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs. One-to-one and group programs, for both in school and outside of school. Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and of having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of students to an in-school program, we start something incredible – a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment. Witnessing the transformation of a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful,
responsible member of their community and society at large is even more satisfying. Proudly, it’s something our staff, volunteers and donors help bring about every day, and we’re very grateful for their generosity and support. Whether it’s in the form of time or money there is no more important investment we as individuals can make than in helping our nation’s children realize – and share – their full potential. We’re Big Brothers Big Sisters, and we believe in the value and values of mentoring. We are currently in need of Mentors and Volunteers in Leeds and Grenville. Your selflessness will make a difference in a child’s life. Visit staples.ca/supplydrive to learn more. Submitted by Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville.

Kemptville 73’s drop two games
Kemptville 73’s Owen Guy (12) defends Canadians Connor Merkley (17) BY BRIAN WILSON
On Tuesday, October 25, the Smiths Falls Bears visited North Grenville to battle the 73’s. The first period turned into a puck possession game with Kemptville holding the edge,
out-shooting the Bears 14-6. However, Smiths Falls scored the only goal of the period to take a 1-0 lead into the intermission. The second period was a little more evenly played, but Kemptville still had the lead in shots, 12-9.
Brian Wilson Photo
Three quarters of the way through the frame, the Bears increased their lead. One and a half minutes later, Matt Tugnutt scored his team leading sixteenth goal of the season to put the 73’s on the board. Alex Row and Owen Guy picked up the assists. Trailing
2-1 going into the third, Kemptville came out flying and at 0:35 seconds, Row tied the game at 2-2 on a set up by Noah Rowe and Victor Tracy. From there, the game plan did not go as diagrammed. The Bears scored at 14:40 to make it 3-2, and then followed that goal with another just 0:34 seconds later. Smiths Falls then snuffed out any hope of a comeback by adding an empty net marker to give themselves a 5-2 win. The 73’s out shot the Bears by a margin of 42-27. Alex Row was selected the second star of the game.In a pre-Halloween event, the Carleton Place Canadians came to Kemptville on Friday, October 28. Many little ghouls and goblins attended the game. This was their third match up of the season. The 73’s had defeated the Canadians in the two previous meetings and were hoping for more of the same. This game turned into a battle of special teams. The only goal of the first period went to Carleton Place with a great short handed effort. Leading 1-0 after one, the Canadians took the play to the 73’s, dominating in all aspects of the game. They scored twice in the period,
both on the power play, to hold a 3-0 lead at the break. Early in the third, Kemptville got on the board with, you guessed it, a power play goal. Alex Row scored his eighth of the year, assisted by Adam Alavi and Owen Guy. Row now has accumulated 27 points so far this season. He was named second star of the game for the second game in a row. In other news, Kemptville’s Matt Tugnutt received an Honourable Mention as the CCM/HESN “Player of the Week” Tugnutt accumulated 4 goals and 6 assists in three games last

Canadians will develop high blood pressure Although Canadians have a high awareness of many chronic conditions and diseases such as cancer and diabetes, they are less aware of an equally lifethreatening condition – hypertension. According to a recent Ipsos survey commissioned by Dairy Farmers of Canada, 59 per cent of Canadians are concerned with developing high blood pressure – even though, in reality, 90 per cent will be diagnosed in their lifetime. Known as the silent killer, an estimated one in six people do not know they have high blood pressure, with more than six million Canadian adults affected by the condition. High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for death due to stroke and a major risk factor for heart disease. If left untreated, it can lead to coronary artery disease, dementia, heart and kidney failure, and other chronic diseases. However, the condition can be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes. “With Canadians facing such a high risk of developing high blood pressure, we all need to make healthy lifestyle choices, like striving towards a more balanced diet,” says Nathalie Savoie, registered dietitian and assistant director, nutrition,
exclusive
Dairy Farmers of Canada. “One of the tools to help prevent or manage your blood pressure is to eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as an adequate amount of milk product every day. In fact, milk products contain potassium, magnesium, calcium and protein, all of which have been shown to effectively help maintain a healthy blood pressure.” Other key survey findings include: • Canadians tend to attribute lifestyle (51 per cent) as a greater cause of high blood pressure than age (22 per cent). However, the risk of developing high blood pressure drastically increases with age; more than 50 per cent of Canadians over the age of 60 live with high blood pressure. • Most Canadians think that high blood pressure is more common in men than women. However, by age 60, it is actually more common among females – with more than half of all women being diagnosed with high blood pressure. Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers Canada encourage Canadians to download the free Get Enough Helper App. For each day that the app is used,
Dairy Farmers of Canada will donate one dollar to one of the following great causes: Heart and Stroke Foundation, Osteoporosis Canada or Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada (up to a maximum of $100,000 per organization). For more information on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and to download the Get Enough Helper App, visit getenough.ca. About Dairy Farmers of Canada Founded in 1934, Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is the national organization defending the interests of Canadian dairy farmers and striving to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry. Working within supply management, DFC promotes safe, high quality, sustainable, and nutritious Canadian dairy products made from 100 per cent Canadian milk through various marketing, nutrition, policy, and lobbying initiatives. Driven by a strong sense of community and pride, DFC and Canadian dairy farmers actively support a number of local and national initiatives. Visit dairyfarmers.ca for more information.

The family enjoyed 3 vegetables at every meal. At the age of 19, Hedwig and her family left the farm and moved to Sandersdorf, Germany. There she met Adolf Vogg and they later moved to Canada and were married at St. John Chrysostom Church in Arnprior in 1952. The new couple built their first home on the Braeside Road in 1956.

Betty Oddy (nee Wolfers) passed away peacefully at Lanark Lodge in Perth Ontario, on October 25 2016 at 6:24 a.m. She died fifty-five days after first declining food. Such strength and resilience are a tribute to her cockney roots when nothing came easily and you had to fight for each and every success in life - including death. Mum never passed up a song, and learned in her last few years, that to sing as loudly as possible can offer the greatest feeling ever. Our last 5 weeks were spent in song, stories, many smiles, hugs and kisses. She died just 12 hours after her eldest daughter Carole. The timing for our family is beyond comprehension and we are steadying ourselves on the shoulders of friends and each other as we try to understand this strange synchrony. She was a well-loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, mother-in-law, and friend. Nana Betty, lived a remarkable life. She believed that to live a good life, you must treasure everything you have, love your family, and jump on every opportunity that comes your way. She was very proud of all of our accomplishments and always believed that our endeavors would lead to a great fortune. She loved animals especially dogs and birds at the feeder, and treasured every gift that was given to her. Singing her favorite songs, being among flowers and gardens, and drinking a good cup of tea were all things she loved. A young mother alone in London while Russ fought the fight, Bette, was an eye witness to the Battle of Britain. She stood in the streets and watched the planes fly overhead. She talked of being in the shelters for hours and hours with her new born baby - our sister Carole, as they waited for the bombing to stop. Bette married Russ Oddy in 1939 and has four children who are all spread out over the world - 3 daughters and a son. She had 3 sisters and 2 brothers, who live(d) in England and in Australia. Nana Bette has 9 grandchildren, most of whom she never got to know because of the distances between us all. She also has 9 great grandchildren, also far away and not known to her. This was always a regret for her but the world is a big place and in our family, staying put has never been the norm. A gathering was held at our home where we shared stories, poems and songs in her honour at 331 Otty Way in Perth ON. If you would like to donate to a charity in her honour, please send to Lanark Animal Welfare Society, or the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund. These were her two most favourite things - animals and music - aside from her family. We give the greatest of thanks to the incredible sisterhood on Honeysuckle at Lanark Lodge. Their care of her over the past 5 years and compassion in these past weeks has been remarkable.

John though it has been 20 years, I remember the day I met you, the day God made you mine. I remember the day God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made our vows together until death do we part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I am dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, that I can go on Living, when I no longer have you! The memory of happy years when we were together, the joy’s, the tears, the love and the fears will stay with me forever. When I am sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper “cheer up & carry on!” Each time I see your picture you seem to smile and say, “don’t cry I am only sleeping, we’ll meet again someday!” Lovingly Remembered Audrey
