Recommendations from the North Grenville Heritage Advisory Committee regarding Leslie Hall, the parish hall of the St. James Anglican Church located at 35 Clothier Street West in Kemptville, were once again presented to council for their consideration at the Nov. 6 committee of the whole meeting. Due to a “procedural error” at the previous committee of the whole meeting on Oct. 16, the recommendations were first brought to council indirectly, through staff, as opposed to directly from the advisory committee, prompting a do-over. The discussion at the Oct. 16 meeting was concluded with a recorded vote on the following two recommendations: the Committee of the Whole recommend that council place 35 Clothier Street West on the municipality’s heritage register; and further that a portion of the heritage advisory

committee budget for 2018 be allocated for the erection of a monument at 35 Clothier Street West. Councillors Jim Bertram, Donovan Arnaud and Frank Onasanya voted against the recommendations and Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin and Mayor David Gordon voted in favor of them, resulting in the pair of recommendations being defeated 3-2. Leslie Hall has since been gutted - an auction was held to clear out the building’s valuables, including its 1930s-era stained glass windows, and a demolition permit was issued to the property owners on Oct. 17. When the heritage advisory committee’s recommendations were brought back to council on Nov. 6, the second had been amended, losing its portion pertaining to the erection of a monument at 35 Clothier Street West. This time, an in-depth question period was carried

Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour puts magic back into holiday season BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com For several years, Carleton Place residents Christine and Jim Glutek have been lovingly restoring their brown brick Victorian home. On Dec. 2-3, all of their efforts will be revealed during the sixth annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour. The home, which the Gluteks have owned for five years, is tucked away in the heart of town and inside, it’s a vintage and shabby chic paradise. Warm white paint coats the walls, with silver, natural and blush accents, while Christine’s talents with her furniture refurbishing business can be found on tables, chairs and hutches. Chandeliers, from which shiny glass ornaments dangle, cast an elegant light in nearly every room of the home, which also includes a newly renovated kitchen with the original servants’ staircase. Foregoing the traditional wallpaper, Christine and Jim opted to adorn the walls with pages of old books to add another eye-pleasing element. Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks, who has a deep love for the holiday season, has been hoping to secure the Glutek home for the tour for quite some time. “I’ve wanted her to do the tour for a few years,” Tunks noted. “Christine volunteered at my house a few years ago and once I walked into her house, I knew she had to be on it.” And there was no hesitation from Christine, who noted the fall and winter seasons are her favourites. Glittered garlands festooned with antique baubles and ornaments adorn window frames and furniture pieces in the home. “Around the holidays, there’s always such a magical feeling you get when all of the lights and everything is up,” she explained. “It makes me feel like a kid again.” Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks likens Christine’s style to that of shabby chic designer Rachel Ashwell. “I think she gives Rachel Ashwell a run for her money. I really do,” she said. “She breathes new life into things.” “She’s my inspiration,” Christine said of Ashwell. “I follow a lot of decorating blogs as well. This is my passion.” “It’s an elegant shabby chic and we want to give people an opportunity to see a nice, cozy house,” she added. “That’s why I like going on the tour – to get ideas and see what other people are doing.”
Ashley Kulp/Metroland
Jim and Christine Glutek relax in the sitting room of their Victorian home at 73 Beckwith St. in Carleton Place. Having the vision to see the potential in an imperfect piece of furniture or a forgotten item is one of Christine’s talents. That passion led her to establish Shabby Chick, her painting and refinishing business. She often scours antique sales and auctions to scoop up unique and vintage pieces. “That creativity is amazing; to look at something and see the potential,” remarked Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau. The house tour has served as a fundraiser for the CPDMH Foundation over the past five years, bringing in $33,968.95, which supports purchasing patient care equipment needed at the hospital. The tour has quickly become the hospital foundation’s signature Christmas event. “This tour has been growing year after year, with the first year’s event netting $3,242.28, growing to $10,968.83 last year,” she stated. “We’re confident that this year will be our biggest year yet!” Arseneau said funds raised from this year’s tour will go towards the hospital’s most pressing need – a $305,000 cardiac monitor. Eight homes (with two bonus locations) of different styles and décor are on offer this year, with a few changes.

Build a Mountain of Food campaign off and running for 2017 season
SMITHS FALLS NISSAN
BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweri@metroland.com
This year’s 11th annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign was off and running over the weekend in Almonte and Carleton Place with 15,592 pounds of food collected and $2,400 in cash donations. “It was a great start to the campaign,” said Hugh Colton, organizer of this Hinton Auto Group food drive. The campaign serves food banks in 11 communities over a period of six Saturdays leading up to Christmas, the busiest time of the year for food banks. Set up at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer (YIG) in Almonte, and at Mitchell’s YIG, FreshCo, and Giant Tiger in Carleton Place, the campaign benefits the Lanark County Food Bank’s Hunger Stop. The best part about this drive, Colton said, is that every item, can, bottle, or bag of food stays in the community where it’s collected, as does every dollar raised. “We’re going to be taking this Saturday (Nov. 11) off to respect Remembrance Day,” Colton said. “And then we’ll pick up the following Saturday, Nov. 18, in Lanark and in Perth.” From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Colton will be at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s YIG, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger, where donations will support the Perth Good Food Bank, located at The Table Community Food Centre. The campaign will also run in Lanark on Nov.

A new event for Build a Mountain was the Jail and Bail held at Carleton Place’s Walmart and at YIG where cash and food donations totalled nearly 700 pounds and $500 for the cause. “I have a new partner,” Colton said. “Elmo may be joining me for the rest of the campaign, so that will be fun for the kids to see.” Colton thanked the Jessome family from Carleton Place on their initiative to bring Elmo out for the cause. Overall, Colton said he’s looking forward to the rest of the campaign as the donations have started to flood in. He’s also putting finishing touches on some local Santa Claus parades and hopes to take part in two on Dec. 2 – in Perth for 5 p.m. and in Athens for 7 p.m. See BAM PAGE 6

CGDB seeks puppy local puppy raisers Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking volunteer puppy raisers in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. This is a long-term volunteer commitment of 12 to 18 months. The volunteer raises the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization. However, the unique part of this volunteer position is taking the puppy nearly everywhere you go. Support is provided from professional staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. You’ll need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog. Pups are placed into homes at approximately eight weeks of age, so you will be housebound for a short time. Once the puppy’s vaccinations are in place, around four months of age, you will be asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it to as many environments and situations as possible, that it may later encounter as a guide dog. If you work outside of the home, you would start with a 16-week old puppy, so that vaccinations are in place and you can take the puppy to work and public areas immediately. You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all weather conditions, so an active lifestyle is preferred. This is a unique volunteer opportunity, and you could help play a role in changing someone’s life. Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day. Current volunteers include stay-at-home par-

Puppy raisers, who are employed full-time and have permission from their employer, can have the puppy in the workplace. It’s a great way for a company to show their philanthropic spirit, and to boost morale, as employees encounter a cute little puppy at work on a daily basis. All food, supplies, and veterinary expenses are provided by the organization. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog. Email info@guidedogs.ca or call (613) 6927777 for more information on how you can help.

The Table hosts second ‘Sleep A Night Under My Roof’ training day Nov. 22 On Nov. 22, the Table Community Food Centre will be hosting a free allday workshop for front line workers and service providers called Sleep A Night Under My Roof. The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Perth Lion’s Hall and will include yummy healthy snacks and a delicious luncheon prepared by the Twisted Fork. The Table held a similar event back in May of this year, and received such positive feedback that they decided to run it again, so that those who missed it the first time might have a chance to participate. This time, in addition to service organizations from Lanark County, service providers in Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa, along with local MPs, MPPs and town councils, are invited to participate. This initiative is funded through the Law Foundation of Ontario, and is a Connecting Communities program designed to help raise awareness of, and educate front line workers on tenant and housing rights under the law, by providing participants with firsthand knowledge of the issues community members face related to housing. The training, developed by event co-ordinators Vicki MacMillan and Tracey Parker, is based on the popular Homelessness Maze, an experiential learning activity first created by the Canadian Mental Health Association and further adapted by local Health Units and Algonquin College Perth for use across Ontario. To ensure the relevance and accuracy of the training, the Table is working with local people with lived experience, along with event partners — the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Legal Clinic, Lanark County Interval House, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit and YAK — to provide input on the scenarios. Participants will also receive a resource booklet that they can take back to their agencies after the workshop, designed as an easy-to-share information source for co-workers and others. The morning portion of the workshop will be devoted to a role-play activity designed to give participants the opportunity to not only learn but experience the housing issues faced by many low-income community members. Participants will each be given a character and background story, and proceed to work their way through “the system” by visiting relevant agencies, set up in kiosks around the room. This will be followed by a whole-group discussion to reflect upon the experience by identifying and exploring the feelings, issues, obstacles and challenges confronted by their character. After lunch, a representative from the legal clinic will provide basic but important information about housing law and the Residential Tenancies Act including such topics as: evictions, maintenance and repairs, harassment and discrimination, rent increases, moving out, tenant belongings and
more, tailored to the issues and challenges identified during the morning activity. The workshop session will end with a debrief about the day, along with feedback about how participants can use the training materials and resource booklet. There will be opportunities for open discussion with legal clinic staff throughout the day, so participants can ask questions and discuss future collaboration and partnership opportunities with the clinic. In addition to workshop partici-
pants, the Table is recruiting relevant agencies to participate as service providers in the role play, which would involve interacting with participants and providing the information and referrals as during a normal day at their agency. Interested service providers would need to bring materials explaining what their service does, along with intake forms and other relevant documents. The Sleep a Night initiative will also bring participants of the first event in May back to a second half-day ses-
sion on Nov. 23, to take place at the Perth library. At this session participants will discuss the successes they have had using the legal information gained through the training, provide a unique opportunity to receive further feedback, input as to the usefulness of the training materials, to raise new issues, and to learn about other local resources. Reconvening the group will also provide an opportunity for participants to network and collaborate in relation to a range of issues includ-
ing housing-related community action initiatives, future training opportunities, and building professional supports. If you are a front line worker and service provider who is interested in attending please register at Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ sleep-a-night-under-my-roof-tickets38298405562?aff=es2 Contact the event co-ordinators at housing@thetablecfc.org for further information or questions.

“I’m still trying to work out the logistics of that one, but it’s doable,” he said. “It will be the first time for the Athens parade. I’d like to do them all, but it’s just impossible.” The BAM float will make its way to the Carleton Place parade Nov. 25 at 5 p.m. and on Nov. 27 he be at the CP Holiday Train when it makes its way to Smiths Falls and to Perth that evening. Colton will also make an appearance with the float at the Perth BIA’s Light up the Night at Crystal Palace on Dec. 1.
Bring your family to Crystal Palace at 6 p.m. to enjoy a roaring bonfire, carolling, hot food and at 6:30 p.m., spectacular fireworks behind the Crystal Palace. Immediately after the fireworks the Crystal Palace will be open, so walk inside and see beautiful 40-plus Christmas trees. The Hinton Auto Group Build a Mountain of Food Christmas Parade Float will be on hand that evening. Bring the kids to see this fabulous float decked out in thousands of lights. Don't forget to bring a donation for the food bank. On Dec. 9, Colton will wrap up his parade list with the Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade.

COMMENTARY

Stay safe this hunting season
unting Season is upon us and the Leeds Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) encourages hunters to learn and adhere to the following list of rules when hunting in Leeds County. All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches or 2,580 square centimetres above the waist) and a hunter orange head cover during gun seasons for deer, moose and elk. Outside the gun seasons for deer, moose and elk these requirements also apply to bear hunters who are not hunting from a tree stand. Handle firearms with care and attention at all times. Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lies beyond it. It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle, to discharge a firearm from or across the travelled portion of a right of way for public vehicular traffic. In many parts of Ontario it is also illegal to have a loaded firearm, or discharge a firearm, in any part of the right of way. Firearms must be unloaded and safely secured (in a locked cabinet with a lock on the
trigger) when not being used and ammunition must also be safely secured and stored. Failing to do so is against the law! And above all else, never drink alcohol and hunt. General safety planning * Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning; * Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly; * In an emergency, stay calm and stay put; * Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes; * Keep hydrated and well nourished; * Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times; * Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one; and, * Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them. To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the MNRF TIPS Line at 1-877-847-7667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household T here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone!

The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat "biscuits," divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the biscuits wouldn’t be broken.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with
string. I could spend many an hour just sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put in a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when

the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that. And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would have to tear it down into flat pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the

Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the morning. Like everything else that came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite sayings “waste not ... want not,” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came into our house.

Labrador land protectors discuss indigenous rights in Perth Nov. 22 As part of a provincewide speaking tour, in \ dividuals representing the Labrador Land Protectors — a group who are trying to stop the threat posed to a number of indigenous nations by a massive hydro project at Muskrat Falls, Labrador — will speak at a free public presentation Wednesday, Nov. 22 at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West, at 7 p.m. Organized by the Ontario Muskrat Solidarity Committee and supported locally by Lanark Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation, the evening will discuss the issues surrounding the $12.7-billion project, which is backed by over $9 billion in federal loan guarantees even though it has doubled from its original price, and will likely cost even more if completed. A significant concern is whether the dam will hold, given a substantial portion is being built on quick clay (sand subject to liquefaction under pressure), as well as the flooding of sacred territories. In addition, during the fall of 2016, Harvard University produced a report documenting the alarming rates of methylmercury poisoning that could be expected if specific mitigation measures were not undertaken at Muskrat Falls (especially clearance of vegetation, trees and soil in a large area slated for the dam’s reservoir). The issue of mercury poisoning’s severe impact on Indigenous people is well known in Ontario because of the international attention focused on the Grassy Narrows community. For indigenous people and settlers living in Labrador, poisoning of traditional food webs that include seal, fish and other creatures would likely have a devastat-

Great afternoon of nostalgia at Station Theatre It’s happening this weekend on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. The Continentals are back at The Station Theatre for an afternoon of good music, good memories, lots of hand clapping and foot stomping. All proceeds go to The Smiths Falls Food Bank. With just a little bit of pride, Dennis Staples says the band was formed in 1964 - that’s over half a century ago - and is considered “one of the oldest and longest performing bands in the area.” Anyone in that age range, with a little memory nudge, can probably recall the band playing at high schools, colleges, bars, hotels and arenas throughout eastern Ontario. And does anyone remember the dances - jive, swing, twist, and shimmy.
Bets are the music is more familiar than the steps! The Continentals come out for a good time but they also come out to give back to the community. This performance is for the food bank, but they’ve donated their time and talent to many fundraisers. This Sunday three of the original Continentals will play: Paul Hanrahan, Art Lee, and Staples. They’ll be joined by Dave White for a memorable, and memory-full afternoon. Thursday night before the fundraiser, Film Night International presents Frantz at 7 p.m. at the Theatre. After the First World War, a young woman, mourning the death of her fiancé, encounters a mysterious Frenchman laying flowers on her beloved’s grave.

TICO#50023381

A local perspective on Indigenous resistance will be presented by Mireille LaPointe, a member of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation community who sits as Head of Family on the Heads of Family Council. “A historic community, Ardoch has taken uncompromising positions in defending the Land, manoomin [wild rice] and water from extractive interests,” Lapointe says.

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

Truth about JFK’s slaying unlikely to be revealed The date Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 is forever etched on my mind. I was an elementary school student in Stittsville when we heard the shocking news that United States’ President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been shot to death in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis the year before had taken him from the Second World War hero (the PT 109 story) to the status of much revered international figure. It didn’t seem possible that someone of his stature could have their life snuffed out — just like that. The events that followed, the lying in state, the slaying of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on live television and what, at the time, was the most watched funeral in history have not faded with the passage of time. At least they haven’t left my memory! On Oct. 26, less than a month before the 54th anniversary, JFK’s assassination was back in the news. Most of the remaining files related to Kennedy’s murder were released on the authority of current President Donald Trump. However, at the last minute Trump bowed to pressure from the CIA, FBI and other American agencies who successfully argued that certain Kennedy files should be withheld for further study based on “national security, law enforcement and foreign affairs concerns.” They’ve been given an additional 180 days to review those documents. I come from a family of news addicts. Back in November and December of 1963 my mother collected everything written about the Kennedy assassination. She kept all of the daily newspapers and purchased the many magazines filled with Kennedy coverage. Later I’m sure she was among the first to buy the early books written about the president’s slaying. Among them is a volume entitled The
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Torch Is Passed which is the Associated Press telling of the assassination and its aftermath. Included are Oswald’s slaying and the transition to the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ). As the oldest child in our family and someone who has an intense interest in this subject, that material was eventually handed down to me. I’ve reread it all and watched every television documentary and film dedicated to the Kennedy assassination. I’ve also read many of the literally hundreds of books written on the subject. At the beginning, like most people, I believed the sequence of events and the roles of the alleged participants, as outlined by virtually every news agency. To me there was no question Oswald was a “lone nut assassin” as he has so often been characterized. It was grief stricken Dallas strip club owner Jack Ruby who, in a fit of revenge-fueled rage, snuffed out the killer’s life just two days later. Today, despite much evidence to the contrary, many still believe the original information about the assassination. On Nov. 29, 1963 LBJ announced the formation of the “President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.” It is commonly called the ‘Warren Commission,’ named for its chair the late Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Questionable report In September 1964 the Warren Commission issued an 889-page report. Two months later it released 26 volumes of supporting documents including testimony or depositions from 552 witnesses and over 3,000 exhibits. The commission concluded that both Oswald and Ruby acted alone. However, based on everything I have read, watched and heard I’m no longer among those who believe what I call “the sanitized version of events.” The details contained in The Torch Is Passed for example. Conspiracy theories relative to JFK’s slaying are a dime a dozen. Everyone from the Russians, to the Cubans, to organized crime and even jealous husbands and boyfriends (we now know Kennedy was a notorious womanizer) remain suspects. But if anyone cares to delve into the details there is more than enough evidence available to give even the most ardent Warren Report supporter pause. After reading endless books and articles and studying documented testimony, which has rarely been the focus of the mainstream media, I believe it’s clear that Oswald at least did not act alone. Did he even pull the trigger that fateful afternoon in Dallas? There is documented and compelling evidence to the contrary. The Warren Commission had that evidence but failed to include it in their final report. I believe the members began with a conclusion already in mind. Nothing could dissuade them from their version of events despite sworn testimony from credible witnesses which totally debunks their theories. Ruby’s role, as outlined in the report, seems clear enough. But read the actual evidence presented to the commission and you will be left wondering. Yes, he shot Oswald. But there is so much more to Jack Ruby’s story.
All of this and much more is carefully laid out in what I consider to be the best book ever written about the Kennedy assassination. Entitled Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission the Authorities and the Report on the JFK Assassination it is a masterful dissection of the Warren Report and totally contradicts the commission’s findings. Authored by the late Sylvia Meagher the volume was first published in 1967 but reprinted many times. It’s easily available to this day. Read it and you’ll see why I long ago changed my mind about the official report on JFK’s murder. Meagher did not depend on speculation, innuendo or wild conspiracy theories. Instead she studied all of the evidence presented to the commission and discovered critical gaps. Testimony and evidence withheld from the public which clearly points away from the lone gunman theory on which the Warren Report is totally dependent. When I finished Meagher’s book I was convinced Oswald was exactly what he told the assembled reporters in the Dallas police lock-up immediately after his arrest. He said he was “a patsy.” The files released late last month were retained under the JFK Records Act, a public law passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on Oct. 26, 1992. The act states that all remaining files were to be opened to public scrutiny exactly 25 years later. Files or no files I doubt we’ll ever know what really happened. But to me one thing is certain. The Warren Report isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. I’m frustrated that the truth behind what remains the most shocking event of my lifetime is unlikely to be revealed. Not in 180 days, not ever! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com

Class Axe donates to Canadian veterans through Guitars for Vets BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
Guitars for Vets, co-ordinated by VETS Canada, provides guitars to veterans and currently serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP who are struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other service-related injuries or disabilities and want to learn to play guitar. The recipients of the guitars are provided with free online lessons, and when available, are set up with volunteer guitar instructors for free lessons in-person over ten weeks. The goal of the program is to get as many guitars as possible into the hands of wounded veterans to assist with their healing process. On Oct. 6, Sean Trottier, the local representative of Guitars for Vets, visited Class Axe Guitars in Kemptville to pick up an acoustic Fender guitar, which was donated to the program by Class Axe owner, Bob Besharah. As part of guitar manufacturer Fender’s policy, Class Axe is required to destroy any guitars that are returned within the warranty period due to malfunctions. The store must also prove to Fender that the guitar has been destroyed, so as to maintain the company’s reputation of producing quality guitars. Besharah decided to make the best of the process by posting a video of the destruction on Facebook for entertainment purposes. “We got an awful lot of bad feedback on it,” said Besharah, “but we had to do it for warranty. This is the way Fender does it - they want proof that the instrument has been destroyed. It’s their quality assurance policy.” Trottier became acquainted with Besharah via Facebook when one of his

Bob Besharah (left) and Amanda Fricker (right) of Class Axe pass along a Fender acoustic guitar to Sean Trottier of Guitars for Vets on Friday, Oct. 6. friends commented on the guitar destruction video, stating that Besharah should have donated the guitar to Guitars for Vets instead of destroying it, although it wasn’t that simple. “We understand what Class Axe had to do, and I merely made a comment on that Facebook post thanking those concerned for thinking of Guitars for Vets and noted that we could use any leftover guitar parts," Trottier stated. "Guitars for Vets is a non-profit organization; we depend on the generosity of donations for our students in the program. Of course, not all donations are in playable condition, and I often require parts to fix them.” After seeing Trottier’s comment on the Facebook post, Besharah offered to donate a brand new guitar to the program. “There was no way we could fix that guitar and give it to anybody,” said Besharah, “so we took a brand new one and donated it to Guitars for Vets.”

Besharah’s generosity didn't stop after the donation. “Class Axe also volunteered to become a drop-off point for donations to the program,” said Trottier. In addition to this, Besharah and his team will take care of any repairs necessary on guitars that are dropped off at Class Axe. “If people have guitars that have been sitting in their attic or under their bed that they never play, they can drop them off here and we’ll fix them up,” said Besharah. “We’ll make them playable again and give them to Guitars for Vets, and we will continue to donate guitars to the program.” Trottier himself is a 21-plus year Canadian Forces (CF) veteran and has been an avid guitar enthusiast for more than 30 years. “I know the value and the benefits of what music can do for veterans," Trottier remarked. "I have also lost friends to the demon that is known as PTSD. Guitars for Vets was a great conduit for
me to become a volunteer and help give back to my brothers in arms. I’ve been involved with the program for about 15 months now, and have spent the last six months as the area lead for Ottawa and surrounding areas.” Trottier volunteers his time collecting donations from partner music stores, as well as assessing and repairing guitars, raising awareness and funds for the program, co-ordinating the lesson schedules, and when he has the time, he even acts as one of the instructors, giving lessons to veterans over a period of ten weeks. “Guitars for Vets keeps me very busy indeed, but I’m just happy to be able to help such a great cause in any way that I can," he said. For more information on Guitars for Vets and the application for veterans and actively serving CF or RCMP members to apply for the program, visit www. VetsCanada.org/guitars-for-vets.php. On Friday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m., there will be a Guitars for Vets fundraising concert called the Play your Part Songwriters Circle at Algonquin College in Ottawa hosted by Sean McCann. Featured Canadian artists include Sarah Harmer, Joel Plaskett, Sean McCann and Jeremy Fisher. Each ticket sold puts one new guitar in the hands of a veteran in need. For tickets and more information, visit VetsCanada.org/play-your-part.php. “I think it’s a great cause – a lot of these vets are really suffering, and if we can help in some way, then why not?,” said Besharah. “We want people to know that they can bring their instruments here if they’re no longer using them. Donate them to a great cause, and help out our vets as they’ve put their lives on the line to help us.”

out between council and director of planning and development, Phil Gerrard, for clarification on the repercussions of acknowledging the cultural and heritage value of Leslie Hall and the general meaning of each of the three recommendations, although council had already voted on the recommendations two weeks prior without any deliberation. “I’m going to ask staff to clarify, because I think there’s a lot of misinformation on what item one would refer to,” said Tobin, “and what that would mean to the property itself, so I’m going to ask staff to speak to that.” Gerrard responded, “The resolution, as I understand, represents an acknowledgement by council of the work of the heritage advisory committee who have gone through the process of evaluating this property with the document that was provided to them by council, that is the Heritage Evaluation Manual. I gather they are asking you to concur with their determination that this property does have cultural and heritage value.” Tobin requested clarification once again. “I guess I’m looking for the clarification that the general public may not have in terms of – what does that really mean? What cannot happen there, what can happen there in the future, and I think that’s where the distinction is,” she said. “Technically, under the Ontario Heritage Act, it’s not a designation under part four of the act, and it’s not a placement on the register of the act - it’s simply an acknowledgement of the evaluation process that was prepared by the heritage advisory committee,” Gerrard stressed. Tobin pressed for more information a third time. “Could you give a little more clarification, perhaps, on what that means to the

property owner?” “Essentially, it’s council acknowledging that there’s cultural and heritage value there, but there’s nothing attached to it from a legislative point of view,” Gerrard replied. Bertram then took some time to voice his concerns pertaining to council’s involvement with the heritage evaluation of Leslie Hall. “Thank you for that clarification, but I would like to go a little further with a little more clarification,” he stated. “I would suggest that placing that motion on the record in a sense weighs the balance towards the other two (recommendations) that follow. That’s all very well, but as I said, the owner – the people who have ownership of this property – have not been involved, and I do not think that our pronouncement on that property is valid without having consulted the owner and asking their permission to engage in the process from beginning to end.” “Over the last few weeks, I have met with numerous members of the Anglican Church community who have represented an absolute refusal to consider the three items which are presented before you,” he continued. “According to my standard of values, if we are going to be talking about somebody else’s property, we had better have their permission, and they’d better be on board – if they’re not, then neither am I, and so I will speak against this.” In response, Tobin asked for clarification as to why the property owners hadn’t been consulted, and whether that is typically a step in the process. “Well, the member is saying that the parish owners have not been consulted,” she said. “What’s the need for the parish to be consulted? I’m assuming there’s a protocol in that registry that we approve. I’m just trying to
clarify the steps we took here and why that piece is missing if that’s supposed to be a part of the process.” Gerrard explained that there is no requirement for notification from the point of view of the Heritage Act for this type of recommendation. Bertram reiterated the importance of consulting the property owners. “I would suggest that we can go beyond the minimum requirement and understand that there are property owners to be considered here and that we should probably consider going beyond what is the strict minimum, out of courtesy, out of recognition that we are dealing with somebody else’s property, I would suggest that it might be a darn good idea to consult with these people before we decide what we are going to do with their property,” he commented. Onasanya then took the opportunity to clarify that there is no requirement for the heritage advisory committee to ask for permission before evaluating the building, which Gerrard confirmed. “So therefore, I believe that what’s been done so far meets the criteria to be able to say that this building or this property is of heritage value,” Onasanya said. Council voted against the first recommendation to acknowledge Leslie Hall’s cultural and heritage value and interest, with Bertram, Arnaud and Gordon voting against, and Tobin and Onasanya voting in favour. The second recommendation, that council place Leslie Hall on the heritage register, was once again defeated 3-2, and the third recommendation that council serve a notice of intention to designate Leslie Hall under part four of the Ontario Heritage Act was defeated unanimously. The demolition of Leslie Hall is currently looming and anticipated to begin any day now.
Economic development program review, BR+E survey yield positive results for North Grenville BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
The results of the 2017 Economic Development Internal Program Review were presented to North Grenville council at the Oct. 16 committee of the whole meeting. The review was carried out by the municipality’s economic development department, as well as the Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) survey, which was conducted over a span of ten months. The results of the BR+E survey were presented to council at the Sept. 18 committee of the whole meeting. During the review, all economic development plans and strategies from 2007 to 2017 were analyzed, identifying outstanding recommendations. “It’s important to note that the majority of these plans have been fully implemented — I think that’s quite an accomplishment for our community,” said economic development co-ordinator Matt Gilmer on Oct. 16. “The main purpose of this review is to ensure that our programs and activities properly align with the municipality’s vision and strategic plan," he continued. "This was an opportunity for us to review the past and properly plan for the future. We met with all municipal departments and some key external partners to discuss roles, impacts, challenges, and opportunities.” The results proposed a number of
recommendations to council, including a focus on the future of local tourism, highlighting agri-tourism and local foods. “It is also recommended that we prepare a long-term plan to enrich the use of the south branch of the Rideau River, which may include partnering with Le Boat,” said Gilmer. The BR+E survey results identified signage and downtown parking as key priorities, and it was recommended that the marketing component of the 2016 downtown business attraction strategy continue to be implemented, to promote the benefits of doing business in downtown Kemptville. “We’ve seen a steady increase in the number of new businesses downtown over the past year, but there’s still a lot of work to be done,” said Gilmer. “Downtown development was also identified as a top priority in the 2017 BR+E survey.” In 2017, downtown Kemptville welcomed several new businesses, including the Prim Shed, Hustle & Heart, the Dill Flower Studios, Richardson Hair Design, Exit Realty by Design, Get Cronk’d, Nowtaskr, New Energy Kreations, Willow & Rose and many others. According to the internal program review, 99 per cent of the economic development components of the 2013 strategic plan have been implemented. For this reason, it was recommended that the Municipality of North Grenville
consider an updated community strategic plan in 2018, including an economic development component. The BR+E survey began in 2016 and was conducted over 10 months. Professionals from 84 businesses were interviewed from a cross-section of the community, providing insight from the perspectives of 16 different business sectors. The results showed that most of the businesses (88 per cent) are locally owned, with 93 per cent of owners involved in the daily operations of business. Most are small businesses, as 66 per cent employ fewer than ten people. “The professionals interviewed are very positive about North Grenville as a place to do business, with 88 per cent of businesses agreeing that our community is a good or excellent business environment,” the report states. “Although the survey findings show that an overwhelming proportion of business owners are happy with North Grenville as a place to do business, there are still key factors and barriers that should be addressed. In general, the business community felt that the cost of doing businesses, business lease rates, the downtown core, municipal issues (communication, bylaws, development fees and taxes), and roads and highways were key issues. The cost of electricity was also a concern, with 62 per cent of businesses rating it poor and 23 per cent rating it fair.” According to the BR+E survey re-
sults, 47 per cent of businesses in North Grenville are planning to expand over the next 18 months and 42 per cent are planning to remain the same. Of the businesses that are expanding and relocating within the community, 91 per cent include an increase in their workforce. The number of projected jobs in the same time frame is 85. Businesses were also asked what significant changes they’d like to see in the next five years that would have the most overall impact for North Grenville as a place to do business. The top three priorities were: develop infrastructure and roads, resolve municipal issues and continued growth. When asked what assistance or opportunities would be beneficial to support their business, the top responses given were: business networking sessions, e-marketing, social media and online content workshops, joint marketing and advertising and marketing seminars. The report also touched on potential efforts that could be made to enhance, improve and support business development and growth in Old Town Kemptville. Some of the top suggestions include continuing the downtown beautification process, providing business support and incentives, improving parking downtown, attracting new businesses to downtown and creating a strong vision and plan for downtown. “Overall, the business climate in North Grenville is very positive,” the
report states. “Businesses are growing, the workforce is expanding, and development is taking place. This does not mean, however, that there aren’t areas that need improvement.” The survey’s SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis shows that North Grenville’s strengths are location, community support, community growth and quality of life. The weaknesses are traffic congestion, planning and permitting processes and the cost of leasing business space. Opportunities in the community were identified as growth and development, business support, and the redevelopment of the Kemptville College. Lastly, the threats recognized are electricity costs, increasing costs of doing business, and the lack of a skilled workforce. “The next step would be to address some of the issues, which are highlighted throughout the survey results, with our 2017 BR+E strategy action plan, which requires our action items to be implemented over the next one to three years,” said Gilmer. Some of the action items, which have been identified as the most important, realistic and attainable goals, include business support, business attraction, workforce development, tourism, community development and transportation. The full BR+E report can be found on the North Grenville Municipality’s website at www.NorthGrenville.ca.

How we use the Internet is evolving, but can your provider keep up? We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps, the Internet is making it easier-than-ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share, and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets, and phones. Canadians spend an average of 36.7 hours online each month, more than any other country, as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet – in fact, highspeed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.1 Whether you live in a small town, hamlet or village, or in downtown Toronto, Xplornet believes that all Canadians deserve great high-speed Internet. We’ve been busy improving our network to keep pace with demand, investing in our LTE network to ensure our customers can take full advantage of the online world.1
that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. It can feel like you’re helpless to do anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen? Often, it is because of something called “peak hours.” Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails, or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable. Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless. Our recent network improvements help solve the problem of peak hours, allowing both new and existing Xplornet customers to enjoy great high-speed Internet, even during the busiest times of the day.
Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for?
We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time.
Whether you’re kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school project, or putting in some overtime from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can

Outsmart slow-downs with Xplornet’s new & improved LTE network.

OPINION B
Hey, you!
eing a parent is not for the faint of heart. Some days are wonderful, magical, memory making blessings. Others are pure hell. As a new parent, you enter into a lifelong contract filled with tiny print you never bothered to read. The only thing people tell you when you’re pregnant is ‘congratulations, you’re going to make such a great parent.’ Manners veil the truth. No one will tell a pregnant lady what’s really coming; an eternity of worry, sleepless nights, emergency room visits at 2 a.m. and everything in between. Don’t mistake my candor here, people – I’d have 12 kids if I was a multimillionaire and could afford it. Having kids is the best – most infuriating, humbling – thing you can do with your life. The good times are better than the best. But like all things in life, there must be balance. So yeah, the bad times are the apocalypse. My oldest boy has an interesting new habit. He likes to pretend he can’t hear me the first three times I ask him to do something or call his name. I know that he can hear me – my mom voice is booming. And I don’t waste time politely calling to my kids. When I want them to do something, they know. I don’t ask a lot of my kids: throw out your trash, put your dirty clothes in the laundry, pick up your toys, don’t hit each other. The basics. But as my old-

y now you have probably seen one of last week’s hyperlocal news headlines: "Missing Cow." It came to all local news outlets from the OPP Portal. My first thought was, that cow probably isn’t even missing and she is getting all of this attention. She is probably just snuggling up to her sister in this damp weather and the farmer can’t get a good head count. Happens to our kind all the time. But then, this must have been a pretty important cow because the farmer felt the need to call the police. Perhaps he lives near a busy roadway. Many of us in Kemptville remember the day, about 15 years ago, when the technicians at the college barns were attempting to load a bunch of cows onto a cattle truck. The animals went successfully, if not exactly willingly, up the ramp onto the back of the truck. Things seemed to be going fairly smoothly, until one of the cows managed to push the front door open. The cattle were delicately hopping down out of the truck as quickly as they had entered it.
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION est boy approaches the milestone age of 10, I expect more of him. Like bring in the trash cans after the garbage has been picked up, help clean up breakfast dishes and set the table for dinner. Nothing groundbreaking. Yet he complains about these newfound responsibilities and feigns deaf. For months now I have called to him multiple times before eliciting a response. But if he needs me, it’s all ‘mom, mom, mom, mom.’ But I have a plan, and no – it’s not an air horn, though the thought did cross my mind. I’m going to give him a taste of his own medicine. When he’s all ‘mom I fell off my bike and I’m bleeding’ (exaggerated) I’m going to pretend I’m Bruce Willis’ wife in The Sixth Sense (if you don’t watch great movies, that means I’m not going to hear him). I know it seems juvenile, but I assure you that kid needs me WAY more often than I need him, so this is the quickest way to get the message across. I just can’t take yelling ‘hey you!’ repeatedly for one more day.

There was quite a bit of noise from the animals, and the herd technicians could hardly hear themselves think. When the lead hand climbed up the ramp to close the door on the last of the animals, he discovered what had happened. This was before the time when everyone carried a cellphone, so it took a few minutes to get the word out about an entire herd of cattle on the loose, on Prescott Street South. For some reason, the cows turned left toward Bedell Hill instead of right toward town. I do believe their grand entrance into the bustling metropolis of downtown Kemptville would have made a better story. Imagine looking out the window of the library to see 20 cows running past. However, they jogged, trotted and danced
farther south, eventually reaching the railroad tracks, and the highway. This is where the police caught up to them. The officers couldn’t safely block traffic and corral cows at the same time, so at least one of the animals had to be put down. We didn’t have a local radio station at the time, but the story travelled quickly to Ottawa radio. Later that afternoon, I heard the news on the air. The story was followed, unfortunately, by an ad that said “ground beef is on sale this week at Jimmy Dean’s in Winchester …” Then there was the time another herd managed to escape from their unsupervised, off-the-farm location just a few years ago near Oxford Mills. My daughter met them on the road as she attempted to drive into town, and called me. “Ma? What colour are our cows?” I confirmed they were not our herd but thanked her for the tip and put it on the air at the Kemptville radio station. The herd of cream-coloured cattle was spotted a few times over the next few days, wandering into
yards to nibble on vegetable gardens and lounging in the shade of trees by the creek. They continued to resist being captured until eventually the owner called our drover. He miraculously got all 12 cows in his truck by luring them with a lactating mama cow. Our cattle escaped a few times during our first few years as ranchers. Perhaps they were teaching us about the value of good fencing. Mocha was particularly fond of the ripe apples she could smell under the trees on the front field. She broke out a few times, ate her fill and then tried to tiptoe back into the barnyard via the shed. She left evidence of her travels in the smashed flower beds.
I don’t know whether they managed to successfully locate the missing animal that made the news last week. If they are still searching, it might help people to know there was at least one glaring error in the police report. Unless Bessie is clutching two rather large water balloons between her knees in the submitted photo, that is not a cow at all. It is a bull. He is probably being lured by some animals in heat down the road. I suggest local farmers do a head count of their own, to see if they have one extra. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Santa Claus is coming to town: Don’t miss the parade Saturday, Nov. 18 BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
The annual Kemptville Kinsmen Santa Claus parade is set for Saturday, Nov. 18. The parade will take off at 1 p.m. from Holy Cross Catholic School on Clothier Street West and follow its usual route down Prescott Street to the Kemptville College. The parade has been organized by the Kemptville Kinsmen for more than 40 years. This year, the theme is “Christmas in the Movies,” so watch out for your favourite Christmas movie characters! “We, as Kinsmen, are very proud to be able to organize this annual community event as it heralds the beginning of the holiday season,” said Chris Drozda, chair of the Santa Claus parade. “Every year, the Santa Claus parade gets bigger and better with hundreds of spectators, dozens
of floats, marching bands, and the jolly old elf himself. We are lucky to be a part of such a supportive and generous community, and that’s consistent all year ‘round, but especially appreciated during the holiday season.” Approximately 50 floats will be featured in the parade this year, and there will be many opportunities to give back to the community. The Mountain of Toys float will be collecting toys on behalf of the Kinsmen Toy Collection. New unwrapped gifts and toys can be donated in advance at Royal LePage Gale Real Estate. Firefighters from the North Grenville Fire Service will be conducting their boot drive, collecting cash donations for the North Grenville community File photo council and the Salvation Army, Coun. Frank Onasanya and Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin wave to and the Rotary Food Drive will also be in effect, accepting non- the crowd during the 2016 Kemptville Kinsmen Santa Claus perishable food donations for the parade on Nov. 19.

Beth Donovan Hospice (BDH) will be hosting its 15th annual Winter Wonderland gala on Saturday, Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day) at the eQuinelle Golf Course Clubhouse at 140 eQuinelle Dr. in Kemptville. “This year, we’ve switched from a fall theme to a winter theme,” said BDH chair Sue Walker. “It’s our largest event of the year, and all funds raised will go directly back to support
client services at the hospice, which are all offered free of charge to the community.” BDH has been providing services to the community for more than 25 years in North Grenville and surrounding areas. The hospice provides compassionate support and guidance to families who are caring for individuals who struggle with a life-threatening or terminal illness. The gala will feature a live auction as well as a silent auction with various locally-
sourced prizes, such as glassblown art from Gray Art Glass in Merrickville, hand-stitched holiday-themed blankets, and much more. “The signature cake auction with unique and beautiful cakes is always very popular,” said Walker. “That part of the evening appeals to everyone. This year, we also have a time-share condo almost anywhere in the world up for auction, as well as Sens game tickets.” The gala will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. and dinner
at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased by calling the office at 613-2589611 or by visiting in-person at 1107 French Settlement Rd.

MANSON In memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather Kenneth Manson, November 13, 2016. He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries went unspoken too.

Another of the eight homes featured is at 236 Lyndhurst Street, a custom side-split home opposite the Mississippi River.
HOUSE TOUR
From page 2
it’s a 19th century brown limestone home and its early 1800s character has been restored and features a ceiling with 24-foot original wood pegged log beams and four stone arched design fireplaces. Next up is 238 Lyndhurst Street, a custom side-split home opposite the Mississippi River. Built in 1964 for one of the founders of Leigh Instruments, the current homeowners have reconfigured its layout which features Prairie School and mid-century design elements. Built in approximately 1894, 92 Munro Street was originally owned by the Leach family and boasts wide plank pine flooring and stained glass. The current homeowners purchased it in 2016 and have added antiques and textiles from around the globe. A new, open concept bungalow with finished basement will be found at 136 Munro Street. A traditional Christmas decorating theme will be highlighted as well as the homeowners’ growing Santa collection. The Victorian brick home at 337 Moffatt Street still maintains most of its original glory with a few updates included a new kitchen added on several years ago. The homeowners’ impressive antique collection will be featured and the high ceilings provide ample space to showcase upwards of 15 Christmas trees. A Cape Cod style home is at 286 Oakland Crescent, Glen Isle. A brick faced bar welcomes guests into the
family room and it also includes a large designer kitchen. The lady of the house, a gifted designer, has created a comfortable home with a calming eclectic style. The final stop is 124 Wilson Street in Appleton, a stone mansion sitting on two acres, overlooking the Mississippi River. It was built by the Teskey brothers in the mid-1800s. Key features of this home include five fireplaces, five staircases and spacious high ceilings. Originally built with eight bedrooms, they have been reduced to five over the years and the accompanying carriage house provides a gym/games room wing. Tickets for the house tour are $25 per person and are available in Carleton Place at Carleton Place Nursery, The Beckwith Kitchen and the CDPMH gift shop; in Almonte at Crush Marketplace; in Merrickville at Windsor’s Courtyard; in Stittsville at Pretty Pots Flower Shop; as well as at Yarn Forward in Kanata, Tinseltown Emporium and Flowers Talk Tivoli. Several prizes will also be up for grabs, including gift certificates from The Beckwith Butcher, The Beckwith Kitchen, The Good Food Company and Smith and Barrel, as well as Ottawa Senators tickets and a Christmas décor gift basket curated by house tour organizers.

Nov. 18 Snow Ball concert fundraiser to showcase four fierce female musicians BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
After the inaugural event sold out last year, the second annual Snow Ball concert for the Hunger Tour Food Drive will be held on Saturday, Nov. 18 at the Merrickville Community Centre. Guests will be treated to a series of live performances by several female powerhouse musicians, including “The Blues Lady” Maria Hawkins of Ottawa, Nova Scotia native and Celtic instrumentalist Anna Ludlow, multi-award-winning singer/songwriter Sophia Radisch of Ottawa and the funloving “Lioness of Lanark,” Ali McCormick. This is a packed-full evening of talent that you won’t want to miss, and it’s all for a great cause. The Merrickville Community Centre will be fully transformed into a winter wonderland with snowflakes and twinkly lights. All are encouraged to bring a non-perishable
Please, join Food Banks Canada and help feed your neighbours today
food donation with them for the Hunger Tour Food Drive, from which 100 per cent of the proceeds will benefit the Merrickville Food Bank. Last year, a total of $1,620 was raised. The event’s organizer, Steve Hurndell, is an avid music fan and is confident that this year’s lineup is even better than last year’s. You can expect fun, high-energy performances by some of the greater Ottawa area’s best female artists. You will be entertained. Maria Hawkins draws inspiration from her own life experience of living in poverty to deliver vocals that are powerful, passionate and authentic. One of the great things about these musicians is that they are not restricted to one genre. Maria, for example, graces her audience with R&B, funk and soul, as well as her signature blues sound, but she doesn’t do it alone — her backup band adds their own dose of high energy to the performance as well. If toe-tappin’ and stepdancin’ is more your style, Anna Ludlow’s got a show for you, and a Cape Breton jig or two. Ludlow is an impressive performer, demonstrating precision and a true love of Celticinspired music. Don’t forget your dancing shoes. Sophia Radisch is an awardwinning, Ottawa-based actress and musician who’s been writing and performing since she was 13. She’s been called a “music prodigy,” and over the years, she’s written more than
200 songs. Now only 18 years old, Sophia has accumulated an impressive collection of awards for her nostalgic, sultry and rough-edged original rock, including Best Young Songwriter from the Toronto Independent Music Awards in 2016. “My songwriting tends to be soulful, sensual and fantasylike in nature, driven by my passion for the guitar,” says Radisch. “I’m influenced mostly, but not exclusively, by classic rock, alternative rock, R&B, jazz and soul.” Finally, we have the lovely “Lioness of Lanark,” Ali McCormick, equipped with an endless supply of energy and charm. Ali delivers carefully crafted lyrics with an unforgettable voice that’ll remind you of a raspy Janis Joplin, then sweeten you up with the perfect melody. Ali’s music is funloving and full of quality storytelling. By the end of the show, you’ll know her quite well, and chances are, you’ll be a big fan. Tickets for the Snow Ball are $30 each and can be purchased at the Village Bean, the Merrickville Book Emporium, and at HungerTour.com. Anna Ludlow is also scheduled to perform at the Merrickville United Church on Saturday, Dec. 2 as part of the Christmas in Merrickville celebrations from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets for adults to that event is $20 and $10 for children aged 14 and under, and can be purchased at the same locations listed above.

Kemptville 73’s hopeful recent trades leads to winning combination on ice Kemptville made another roster change this past week. They have acquired goaltender Cooper Lukenda, who recently was a member of the Lake Superior State University Lakers, an NCAA Division 1 school. Goaltender Peter Brooks was traded to the Hawkesbury Hawks. The team also signed Tommy Bertrand to bolster their depleted defence corps. Late last month, facing little improvement since the team replaced its head coach, the 73’s tried to find a winning combination by moving some of its players around. On Oct. 22, the Nepean Raiders and the 73's made a move. Kemptville sent Noah Rowe to Nepean in exchange for Nick Domitrovic and prospect Shawn Timlin. That move was followed by another move with Brockville. The 73's sent Tyson Kirkby and Kyle Prescott to the Braves and acquired Eric Faith and Ben MacDonald. On Oct. 27, Kemptville's Neal Samanski was sent to the BCHL's Powell River Kings in exchange for future considerations. On the back end of a home and home series with the Brockville Braves on Friday, Nov. 3, both players made their debut. The Braves opened the scoring at 4:03 of the first period with a short-handed goal. They got one more before the buzzer to take a 2-0 lead into the dressing room. In the second, Brockville added one more before Kemptville got going. Eric Conley scored his sixth of the year assisted by Charlie Kiefer. The 73's drew within one goal of
the Braves when Ashton Fry and Jacob Thousand set up Eric Faith. Brockville again added one more before the end of the period bringing the score to 4-2. In the third, Brockville scored again and John Beaton notched one for Kemptville. The assists went to Joe McGrath and Alec Taillon. The Braves added an empty net goal to seal the
6-3 victory. On to Carleton Place on a rainy Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5 to face the first place Canadians. The Canadians scored twice in the first, but Eric Faith snuck in a buzzer beater with three seconds left in the period. The goal was his sixth of the season and the helpers went to Charlie Kiefer and Jacob Thousand. In the
second, Carleton Place scored three unanswered goals to hold a 5-1 lead after two. The third period featured a complete shutdown by the Canadians defence limiting the 73's to one official shot on goal. Meanwhile, Carleton Place added two more goals to make it a 7-1 final. Eric Faith was named the game's third star.
Upcoming games featured a Wednesday night tilt on Nov. 8 when the Navan Grads visited North Grenville. Then, Kemptville heads to Rockland for a game on Friday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. The 73's return home on Sunday, Nov. 12, when the Smiths Falls Bears provide the opposition. The game has a 2 p.m. start.
