Rally held at Wolford Public School to protest its potential closure, Nov. 5 BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
Some three-dozen people gathered at Wolford Public School in Merrickville-Wolford Township to protest its potential closure on Saturday, Nov. 5. Protesters at the rally were encouraged to sign a petition, started by Christine Pavan, which calls on the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) to reconsider closing Wolford at the end of the school year. Wolford is currently on the chopping block along with more than two dozen other schools being considered for closures. “If they would shut down the school, they shut down the community,” said Pavan. If the board decides to go forward and close this school, it would mean Wolford students would be bussed elsewhere – some up to 72 kilometres one way to Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls. “It’s going to be a real struggle for families because there’s not a lot of childcare in the area,” said Pavan. Pavan said parents are concerned with increased distance
their children would have to travel to get to school and the decreased quality of education they’d face if moved to a bigger school. “They really don’t see the value in the school,” said Pavan. “There are three generations here.” The school board’s reason for considering Wolford’s closure is because it’s under capacity. Their website states that 92 students are currently enrolled at Wolford, with a total capacity of 164. But Ron Maitland, an Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) representative for the school, said that the board’s capacity issue with Wolford is a bit ironic because, by his math, Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls, where some Wolford students would be sent, would be over capacity if their kids were absorbed there. “The board is seeing it as a dollar figure and not what would benefit the school,” said Pavan. For one family, the school’s closure will mean their third generation wouldn’t get to go to the school that’s been in the family for generations. Little two-year-old Ryder would be the third generation

of Wilsons to go to the quaint rural public school. His grandfather, Allan Wilson, said it would be really neat for him to be the third generation of Wilsons to go to Wolford and would be saddened by its closure. “There’s a lot of history here,” he said. Dad, Nick Wilson, worries about the distance his son would have to travel and quality of education that he’d receive at a more urban school. The family, who also own an auto business just a short walk from the school, said their business would likely be impacted if the school closure goes ahead. And economic impact, among others, is something Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Dave Nash said he is concerned about. If the school is closed teachers will lose their jobs and when families think about moving into the area they might think twice, he said. “When people look to move the first thing they ask is where are your schools,” he said. “If we don’t have one, they might not buy here.” Nash said the board is being forced into this by provincial See Parents page K2

Police, child services band together to provide kids with Christmas gifts It’s year 31, and as the Angel Tree program enters its fourth decade there is no doubt the program will continue to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program is starting off with 560 angels. The angels assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with the Lanark County Child and Family Services or other agencies also affiliated with the C.A.S, and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child. The Lanark County municipal offices are participating once again, as are our community partners. They include Albany, Eaton, Lanark County Administration, Perth Town Hall, Great War Memorial Hospital and the Walmart in Carleton Place. Our OPP ERHQ and Provincial Communications Centre also continue to be a huge support with the internal distribution of angels to OPP employees. We are certain that this year’s goal will be met as it has in past years. Effective Thursday, Nov. 3, Angel Trees bearing “Angel Cards” will be distributed for pickup to the following locations for persons to attend wishing to retrieve an angel. Those locations include: Lanark County O.P.P Detachment, Perth; Carleton Place O.P.P. Detachment; Dummond/North Elmsley municipal

Duffy’s lawyer, Don Bayne, speaks out on ‘sensationalist’ media coverage BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Senator Mike Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne, in many ways the voice and face of last year’s blockbuster trial, was the special guest speaker for a meeting of Lanark County lawyers. “The last thing I wanted to be is a media guy. I’ve never been a guy who has courted the media,” said Bayne during an exclusive interview with this newspaper on Monday, Nov. 7, during the County of Lanark Law Association’s fall 2016 social at the Chesswood restaurant in Carleton Place. “There are wonderful people in the media. I like the people in journalism. I like the people in media…They’re well intentioned. They just get it wrong.” That being said, “I became the face of the (Duffy) trial by default,” in part because of logistics. The Crown lawyers had their offices within the Elgin Street courthouse in Ottawa, while Bayne’s offices were across the road. So, he and Duffy had to run the gauntlet of national media camped outside of the court house doors – and Duffy was under instructions not to talk. He admitted that with shrinking newsrooms and dwindling revenues, journalism “is a tough institution.” But he chided media companies for making reporters jack-of-all-trades, covering sports one minute, a high profile trial the next, and a folksy feature the next. During some trials, he has seen “some poor kid (who) gets parachuted in,” and has to get brought up to date on days or weeks of proceedings. “They have not learned the inside story.” His solution? “There have to be assigned court reporters,” he said. He remembered court reporters of old, who “knew more about the law and criminal procedure than the young lawyers,” he said. “You (reporters) educate the public,” to tell them what is going on in our nation’s courtrooms. “I think the rule of law is in jeopardy.” There was some “very good journalism during (the) Duffy (trial),” he said, but it proved to be the exception. He called Justice Charles Vaillancourt the real “hero” of the trial – and said that he would be saying the exact same thing had the judge convicted Duffy, instead of dismissing all of the charges against the senator.
“No matter what the outcome of this trial, we have a magnificent trial judge,” he told colleagues during the trial. “I can’t imagine a right of appeal in this case,” had it not gone Duffy’s way. “He’s such an experienced judge.” As a revered judge, he trusted Vaillancourt to keep his own counsel and look at the facts presented in the courtroom, not to be swayed by public opinion – not always an easy thing to do. During his later speech, Bayne told a story of Vaillancourt making his way to the courtroom one morning. A pedestrian who was leaning up against a post box near the court house asked him if he had any connection to the Duffy trial. He replied that, yes, he did. Not only that, he was the judge. Upon hearing this, the man said, “Lock him up!” “This is what a judge faces,” said Bayne. “Real human life and real trials are complex.” He accused much reporting on the Duffy trial as being simplistic and sensational and it did not take any nuance into account, or indeed anything that went against “the dominant narrative.” Further to this, with media resources being “so constrained…they (the media) will lap up” what is given to them, he said, pointing to wall-to-wall coverage of Donald Trump’s rallies on live television as an example. While Bayne provided Duffy with legal advice, when asked if Bayne sought any media advice from Duffy, a long-time political reporter himself on Parliament Hill, Bayne replied with an emphatic “absolutely not.” “His instincts were journalistic,” he said. “This was not a journalistic enterprise. This was a criminal trial…Every lawyer has to decide for him or herself how they will handle a media storm. (And) you don’t handle modern media. They smell out phonies and don’t like them.” Also, as a lawyer representing his client, “you’re not trying to convince the media. You’re trying to convince the judge” of your client’s innocence. He described Duffy as both “intelligent and sensitive,” juggling both legal and medical problems simultaneously for several months. He said he was “very impressed by him,” even though, understandably, “he wanted to cry out.” During the 18-month ordeal, he described Duffy as “dignified and restrained,” but on the See DUFFY page 5

day before the trail was to begin, Bayne saw another side of Duffy as he showed him around the courtroom for a tour, to show him the layout and where he would be sitting. “He almost couldn’t breathe,” said Bayne, describing how the enormity of the situation was truly dawning on Duffy. “I thought he would die right on the spot. I didn’t think he would make it.” But he held it together. “He needed to get through with it for his wife,” he said. Lawyers gather Later in the evening, as he assembled before lawyers from all over the county and beyond, he cut right to the chase – almost. “I know you are all expecting me to jump all over the Duffy case,” he said, especially the relationship between the media and that particular trial. He admitted that “there’s a certain rotund senator who is the reason why I was asked here.” But another legal case just forming was at the front of his mind these days, that of former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer, who faces several murder charges in and around London, Ont. Holding up the front pages of both The Globe and Mail and National Post, which carried the news of her arrest – along with her “perp walk,” to a waiting police cruiser, accompanied by police officers – he had highlighted that the stories did carry the “mandatory ‘alleged’ qualifier,” saying she was alleged to have committed these murders. But then, further down in the stories, several paragraphs in, he charged that the “alleged” bit was dropped. “The ‘alleged victims’ were replaced with ‘the victims were administered a drug,’” he said. “(The) cause of death has not been established,” in the eight deaths she has been charged in connection with. “‘The victims were administered a drug.’ There is no proof of that,” he continued. “She (Wettlaufer) is not only damned by the headlines, she’s been convicted.” But it was not just the media he took to task. While politicians on Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park enjoy parliamentary privilege within their respective chambers, he still chided New Democrat MPP Teresa Armstrong (London-Fanshawe) for a question she asked of Premier Kathleen Wynne, asking how these “murders” were allowed to go on “undetected” in Ontario’s nursing homes – with Armstrong assuming that they were indeed murders. Not surprisingly for a man who has lectured at the Faculty of Law at Queen’s University, he cited several academic sources that he said showed the media’s “tendency to generalize based on fixed ideas,” that modern media is sensational and simplistic, and that viewers and readers believe what they see in pictures, and are not trained at critical thinking. He said that we live in a “post-truth world,” where “feelings matter, not facts. People ditch the facts in favour of deeply held beliefs,” which has led – as witnessed by the rise of Trump and, to a lesser extent, the Ford Nation phenomena – a “revulsion against the elites.” Some of these so-called “elites” approached him at the Duffy trial wondering why he was getting up and objecting, and cross examining witnesses. “They didn’t understand the basics of a Canadian trial,” said Bayne. He admitted that he broke one of his own rules and held a press conference on Parliament Hill before Duffy was charged. He believed – a
belief he now thinks was naïve, in retrospect – that “these people (the media) will listen. The media will gather and listen…I thought by getting the facts out, we could stop this runaway train.” He felt that the “email evidence is so compelling,” and they had boiled down thousands of emails to a booklet, “a single, thin volume that reads like a novel.” He expected a fair hearing. “Boy was I wrong,” he said. “It was a spectacular failure.” He also felt that it was not just the media that rushed to judgment, but the senate too. “They wrongfully suspended a man without any proof,” he said. Seven steps to media relations He presented, for the lawyers in attendance, seven steps for dealing with the media: 1. “Form a strategy early on,” with a consistent, clear message. 2. “Deliver it in everyday language.” 3. “Don’t get into complexities about the defence.” 4. “Be professional and courteous,” to the media. “They won’t like the fact that you don’t say much. (But) they will respect it.” 5. “Make sure your client is the same.” 6. Get your information to the media in a format they can deal with (instead of bankers’ boxes full of files, try PDFs or booklets). 7. You are there to represent your client, not to make yourself look good personally or professionally. And work with your client on what your media strategy will be. He also stressed that Canada needs more legal literacy, with “better education in primary schools about the law,” and the “presumption of innocence.” He was asked later during the question-andanswer session why he had elected a trial by judge rather than by jury, and he was blunt in his assessment. “I didn’t think any jury would acquit him,” he said. He also said he chose not to do a preliminary hearing, as he is doing less of them now. Doing a preliminary hearing also gives the Crown attorneys a bit of a glimpse at his defence strategy. By the time the case gets to trail, “their (Crown) case is going to get better.” There was a debate about whether to put Duffy on the stand. “Was there a risk? Absolutely,” said Bayne. He identified one of the Crown attorneys as having the ability to “do real damage to Mr. Duffy with withering contempt.” But he added that “it wasn’t my decision alone. He (Duffy) wanted and needed my input on that. He was ready to testify. He desperately wanted an opportunity to tell his side of the story. He did remarkably well on the stand…He had a self-deprecating way of telling his life story that would connect with the judge.” Bayne agreed with Duffy’s desire to tell his story, since he felt that “you’re a decent human being, and you have a good story to tell. This may be your one chance.” While he had respect for Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff – who also cut Duffy a cheque for about $90,000 – he did not think that Wright did as well on the stand as Duffy did. “Nigel Wright was and is a man much smarter than me,” he said. However, “people in hierarchical structures never had to answer for what they do. They just give orders.” In the courtroom, he had to answer questions and “he didn’t do well in that.”

Investigative work begins at Poonamalie Lock on Rideau Canal near Smiths Falls for this $3B project During the week of Nov. 7, investigative drilling and surveying will take place at Poonamalie Lock 32 on the Rideau Canal National Historic Site. This investigative work will inform the design of the upcoming heritage stone masonry rehabilitation project scheduled to begin in fall 2017. Parks Canada will be dewatering the lock to allow for a detailed inspection of the lock and
surrounding area. Surveying will be completed to identify the surface features and the depth of the water at the site. Additionally, small vertical boreholes will be drilled just outside of the lock adjacent to the approach walls to determine the subsurface conditions. These inspections are integral to the development of the design and the scope of the upcoming construction work.

In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be
stranded out on the water. It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechanically sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve. When boaters head out, they should be wary of reduced water levels that can result after a long, hot and dry summer season. Some of a

Fall boating – It takes a little bit more care The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters want to remind all boaters enjoying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats.

COMMENTARY

Scams can be a click away
e continue to hear about residents of the area receiving calls from someone claiming to be in law enforcement and demanding immediate payment for a fake tax debt, and residents of other communities in the region are probably being called as part of the scam. Although Cyber Safety Security Month has just ended, we want to draw attention to a similar online security threat that was made note of by the Ontario Provincial Police. In one example of such a phishing expedition, an email falsely claims to be from an established, legitimate organization - perhaps a bank or government agency. The recipient is asked to go to a certain website to provide personal or financial information and passwords. As the OPP note in a recent release, "it is really a malicious attempt to collect consumer information for the purpose of committing fraud."
There's also ransomware, which produces a so-called police Trojan or scareware: a notice pops up, supposedly from the legit law enforcement agency. It's a false accusation that the recipient has conducted illegal online activities accompanied by a demand that he or she must pay an amount by way of money transfer or credit card in order to unlock the computer. When the victim submits payment details, the scammer steals and uses the respondent's personal information. A few friendly reminders to consider: never click on links or attachments sent by someone you do not know, and never download anti-virus software from a pop-up or link sent in an email. Also, do not click on a pop-up claiming the computer has a virus. And please report such scam attempts to law enforcement agencies and share your experiences with others to raise awareness and, hopefully, reduce the number of people who become victims.
Cecil ends up with a few minutes of fame in Miss Crosby's class
M
iss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, Mother thought should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn't happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn't a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wear-

ing his gum-rubbers, and when he wasn't wearing stockings, which was usually the case. The noise echoed in his gumrubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2X4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent. "Cecil," she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line. "Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up and apologize to the class." Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing. Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room. This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn't done their homework, or generally tried Miss
ing, because her shoulders were shaking. The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other's sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in
Crosby's patience. Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor. He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew. Well, it wasn't long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was cry-

overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn't the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it was the first See MARY page 9
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Public invited to fill a Christmas stocking DEAR EDITOR:

A full turkey dinner and dessert will be served. Ticket sales have closed. We have the pleasure of presenting Mary Reid as our guest for the evening. She is very well known in the gardening world and is a regular speaker throughout the area. She is the owner of Green Thumb Garden Centre in Nepean.

This will commence at 7:15 p.m. As mentioned our elections will be conducted so anyone wishing to stand for office is asked to speak with Debra or Brian, our nominating committee. A silent auction will take place during the evening. We also have available 10 potted amaryllis bulbs that will sell for $10 each. All of
the work has been done for you by Anita, you just have to take these beauties home and give them some TLC. Our last photo contest for this year was October. The winners were Graham Wilson first, Brian Bellevue second and tied for third were Aline Hicks, Jean Holmes and Carol Stanley. Brian wishes to make it known that anyone not able to attend a meeting can have someone submit their photo on their behalf. The déjà vu was not judged in October however we invite those that have the required photos to mount them on white paper and bring them to this meeting. Submissions are separate from the monthly contest and a gift certificate valued at $20 will be presented to the winner. Members please select and vote on your favourite set of photos in this people’s choice contest. A second commercial garden has been selected for this year.

LETTER
He was just an old man. A face on the corner, a shadow along the street and no one in particular. A nobody that no one cared to know and sadly most never would. And that fact would count as a huge loss to them all. He was the butt of jokes, rumor and gossip. He was feared, avoided and scorned, yet the truth was nobody really knew why because it had been going on for so long. It just was. Folks said that he had been in the war but he didn’t hang out at the legion and never marched with the other veterans on Remembrance Day. In fact, no one ever saw him anywhere on Remembrance Day and this was true because they wouldn’t. In his working years he had held a job down at the lumber yard but didn’t hang out with the other workmen after hours and kept pretty much to himself. He never bothered anyone nor did he cause trouble but still made people uneasy because he was, well, weird. On Saturday mornings he would eat breakfast alone at the local diner and on Sunday mornings sat at the back of a local church and then would quietly slip out the back once the service was over. A strange man indeed. Therefore, no one would know, or could know of course, that this quiet, strange man had once fought in some of the greatest theaters and battles in Europe during the Second World War. Wouldn’t know that he had earned so many medals that he would likely have difficulty holding his head up should he try to wear them all at once now upon his breast. They could never possibly know what it felt like to watch so many of his fellow soldiers and
friends die at his feet in the blood, muck and total disgust that is called a battlefield. Nor could they wonder, as he had, why and what it was all for? And who but God himself could explain why it was him who had lived while the others did not? If only he could have that question answered. How does one explain the responsibility for, not only living one’s own life, but also the lives of others left behind to those who could never understand? The simple answer is that you don’t and you can’t. So you must carry it silently within yourself. This is the reason why each year, on Remembrance Day, this lonely old man appeared at the cenotaph late at night long after the others have gone and the town was asleep. And each year he’d see them there as they gathered with him. For they are forever young and they acknowledged their beloved captain with a salute and warm smiles as he did likewise to them. Then from his coat he’d withdraw a bottle of rum and a pack of smokes which he passed amongst his men and they’d share and celebrate life together. “It’s a good life after all boys.” Declared the captain. “Especially as it is you lads who live and beat within my heart and I can only hope that I did well and did you lads proud as you did likewise for me.” Then from somewhere a bugle would sound and a piper would begin to play. A breeze would start to blow and carried on down through those very same streets where a strange, quiet lonely old man was known to have walked. One whom we all would do well to travel in shoes such as he had worn.

for more stockings filled with toiletries for men as they have not been receiving proportionately in past years. Please put a tag on each stocking to designate if it is for a man, woman, teen boy or teen girl. Your parish team has been asked to take two or three smaller deliveries throughout the month, as opposed to one large delivery just before Christmas, to facilitate distribution. As we track our contribution by weight and number, our goal is to exceed last year's distribution of 90 stockings and nearly 200 pounds of toiletries. Karin Nakamura, manager of The Hunger Stop, has expressed her gratitude for these donations. For so many of their clients, this may be the only
gift they receive. Several have told her they save the stocking to open Christmas morning. Karin and her staff of volunteers get to play Santa for a few weeks and so appreciate seeing the happy smiles when clients receive their stockings! She also sends a huge thank you to congregations that support this effort. You can see, by these accounts, how much your contributions have meant to our community. Please call me for more information: 613492-1006. Many, many thanks. Sandra Schappert, Coordinator, St. James Anglican Church, Carleton Place

time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum-rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes. Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn't muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the Mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn't perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum-rubbers. And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum-rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

Frozen Dreams will warm your heart What motivates you to contribute Theatre Night in Merrickville will be competing in the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s FullLength Festival with their upcoming production of “Frozen Dreams” by Robert Ainsworth.The competition, which runs until next March, is featuring works by Canadian playwrights in recognition of the Canada 150 celebration. Director Margaret Shearman is excited to be performing this gripping comedy-drama, which is not only by an Ontario playwright, but is also set in Ottawa. “Frozen Dreams” centres on a group of three homeless men on a Christmas Eve. One of them - a developmentally delayed young man - has received a frozen turkey from a charity. The gift is an ironic one for a homeless person, but the three of them band together to find a way to cook the turkey. “I chose this play because it touches on some serious themes with emotion and humour,” explains Shearman. “It deals with the subject matter sensitively, but also has moments of hilarity. This is not a play about despair, it’s a play full of hope and compassion and the chance of new beginnings.” All of the plays entered in the Festival will be adjudicated by J.P. Kelly, who will travel all over Eastern Ontario to each of the competing community theatres. Kelly, who is an internationally renowned adjudicator/director/teacher and broadcaster, will give a short public adjudication after the Saturday night performance (Nov. 19). The audience is invited to stay and hear what a professional adjudicator thinks of the production. This is always an interesting learning experience for everyone. “The play is challenging for me as a director,” says Shearman, “and it has five demanding roles, which gives the actors an opportunity to vie for one of the acting awards. Because the play is set in an alley, the visual artists in our group have a chance to go to town with the set
painting. It makes an interesting change from our more usual living room sets.” The cast of six includes faces both new and familiar to TNIM audiences. The homeless men are played by Al Billiald, Peter Crate, and Douglas Piepers. While Billiald has had leading roles in many of the group’s recent shows, it has been a number of years since either Piepers or Crate have been seen on TNIM’s stage. Crate had a role in TNIM’s EODL award-winning production of “Having Hope at Home” three years ago. Piepers acted in TNIM’s “Rainmaker” in 2007, and has also performed with the Mississippi Mudds, Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company, and the Kemptville Players, but has not been on stage for several years. “This is quite an interesting role to jump back into theatre with,” says Piepers. “My character suffers from a mental disability and it’s an acting challenge I believe I’m having success with. The play has a lot of heart and I’ve never had a role like this with such depth of character to play with before. I’m loving that experience.” The cast also includes an eccentric bag lady who fades in and out of reality, played by Mary Robertson, and a kindly public health nurse, played by Anita Plunkett. Although both actresses are new to TNIM, they have many years of stage experience – Robertson with the Brockville Theatre Guild, Plunkett with the Kemptville Players and Dundas County Players. Keith Stanton, who recently played an outrageous French squire in TNIM’s “Sleeping Beauty”, rounds out the cast as a police officer. “Frozen Dreams” runs Nov. 18, 19, and 20 (matinee) at the Merrickville Community Centre. Tickets are available from TNIM’s website: www.merrickvilletheatre.org and at Mrs. McGarrigle’s Fine Food Shop or the Merrickville Book Emporium, both in Merrickville.

Financial Problems?
to your RRSP or TFSA? How do you contribute to your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) and your tax-free savings account (TFSA)? Do you make regular contributions through the year? Do you contribute when a friend or family member nudges you? Do you remember to do so when your professional advisor reminds you? Or do you want to make up for last year when you forgot to invest in or top up your RRSP or TFSA? It really doesn’t matter what motivates you to contribute to your RRSP or TFSA – what matters is that you do make regular contributions. Here’s why: Investment experts agree: An RRSP is the best retirement savings strategy for most Canadians Your contributions and all the investment earnings that accumulate in your plan are tax exempt until you start using the money in retirement. Add in the fact that your contributions can be used to reduce taxes and the magic of compounding that enhances RRSP growth over time and it’s easy to see why a registered plan makes such good financial sense. To get the most in immediate tax savings and long-term growth from your RRSP, always make your maximum contribution each year. For 2016 the maximum RRSP contribution is $25,370 (How much you can contribute can be found on your most recent notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency.) The RRSP contribution deadline for the 2016 tax year is March 1, 2017. If you have any unused contribution room left over from previous years, fill it up as quickly as possible for maximum long-term tax-deferred growth and additional tax savings. Your RRSP contribution tax deduction can be carried

Manage Your Money forward to future tax years, which can be useful if you expect a jump in income in the next few years. TFSAs are an excellent and flexible way to save You put your money into a TFSA and you get your money back out – at any time, for any purpose. With a TFSA, there is no tax deduction for your contributions but all TFSA investment earnings are totally tax-free and will not trigger clawbacks on federal tax credits or benefits programs (such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Old Age Security, Age Credit, GST Credit, or Canada Child Benefit). The current annual maximum TFSA contribution is $5,500 plus the full amount of any previous year withdrawals. If you don’t use all your contribution room right away, it accumulates year after year – fill it up any time you want. By the way, your TFSA contributions do not affect your RRSP contribution room. There’s no doubt that regular contributions to a RRSP and TFSA are vital to your financial future. Your professional advisor can help you get the most from a RRSP, a TFSA and every other element of your overall financial plan.

High Times at the Heart Institute comes to Almonte, Nov. 26 In partnership with Almonte General Hospital, Stone Fence Theatre is bringing its new fundraising musical comedy, High Times at the Heart Institute, to the Old Town Hall Theatre in Almonte on Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. Proceeds from play attendance go directly to the hospital, so it’s a great time for a great cause, the organizers says. This fall and winter, the show is touring the Valley, with the potential to raise at least $25,000 for hospitals and health care. The tour has already been to Eganville, Renfrew, Barrys Bay, Deep River and Pembroke. The musical comedy was written by Ish Theilheimer, the company’s producer, and directed by Barrys Bay resident Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. It celebrates Canada’s health care system and takes a humorous look at the subject of aging Baby Boomers com-
ing to terms with mortality. “The show was inspired by my own personal experience as a patient at the Ottawa Heart Institute,” says Theilheimer. “I have been so impressed by the care and service I’ve received both at the Institute and at all the local hospitals that are tied in with it.” Heart Institute founder Dr. Wilbert Keon attended the opening of the show and told an area newspaper, “It was fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! I just thought it was so bang on.” The show’s plot involves four heart patients who find themselves thrust together by their health issues. They include Bobby (John Haslam) and Wendy (Fran Pinkerton), two aging rock and rollers and exes who can’t stand each other, left-wing cynic Arthur (Peter Brown), and Tea Party American Maggie (Les-

ley Sneddon), whose health insurance company leaves her high and dry. Toni (Shirley Hill), a stressed-out and overworked nurse tries to cope with all their needs. In the end, Wendy uses a secret from her old hippie days to save the day. Conrad Boyce, Nigel Epps, Cathy Lyons, Elaine Neigel make up the chorus, known as “The Interns.” Derek Tolhurst plays bass, Evan Burgess plays guitar, and Theilheimer plays percussion in the show. Tickets cost $25.66 plus tax, with proceeds of the show going to support the Almonte General. Tickets for all shows are available from Stone Fence Theatre’s website - www.stonefence. ca , from the box office - 613628-6600 or from local outlets. Submitted Stone Fence Theatre

Winter is coming: Are you ready? Of course I’m referring to winter; that season that brings out the worst in our road conditions and does its best to drive our vehicles to an early grave. The good folks at Speedy Glass have taken the time to compile a simple list of things to help us prepare for the snowy season ahead. In case you think all of these warnings about winter driving are just so much hype, consider that in December of last year the Ontario Ministry of Transport recorded over 7,000 more vehicle collisions than in May. Safety first. A favourite topic of our readers, headlights, is at the top of Speedy’s list. Damaged or defective lamps can cost you four seconds of reaction time in an emergency situation. They can also reduce the distance you can clearly see road signs at night from 115 to 50 meters. And don’t forget about the importance of being able to see animals on the road. Stats Can reports that these collisions involving vehicle damage have gone up 40 per cent in the last five years. Windshields. Of course as you might suspect, an auto-glass expert such as Speedy would have something to say on windshields. Winter, with its sub-zero temps is the time when simple and repairable chips can become cracks. A cracked windshield not only presents a visual hazard, but it can also effect air bag deployment as most passenger front air bags use the windshield as a backboard. And in a roll over, a cracked windshield can increase the roof’s collapse potential by up to 60 per cent. Don’t forget that snow and ice must be cleared of all exterior glass surfaces before heading out on the road. Police services have stepped up their enforcement of this lately. Tire pressure. It is important to know that each time the temperature drops by 6° C, the tire pressure may drop by one psi. It is for this reason that professionals suggest checking your tire pressure more often during the winter months. Maximize visibility. Wipers are not a long term item. They should be changed at least every 18 months. Anti-rain treatments such as Rain-X or Aquapel are another way to ensure maximum visibility. This type of treatment is especially useful during the winter making it easier to remove ice from a treated windshield. Fuel. Driving with a low-level of fuel can be damaging to your vehicle in cold weather. By keeping your level high, the risk of moisture contamination caused by condensation is lowered. And driving with a full tank on very slippery days is a great way to safely add weight to your vehicle for

improved traction. Cabin filter. These features are common on just about every vehicle these days and when they get plugged with dust and debris, they can greatly reduce the air flow coming out of the defrost vents. For improved defrosting, quicker warm-ups, and cleaner air, have the cabin filter checked every few months or so. Carpets. When water soaks the carpets in a car, the humidity level in the vehicle rises considerably and this can lead to windows fogging. Quality rubber floor liners help avoid this problem while keeping the carpet free of salt stains, especially Weathertech floor liners for example. Battery. Cold temperatures can weaken your battery. Also your battery must not have any trace of corrosion and your cables must be firmly fastened. Having a battery test done before winter can help ensure worryfree starts. Brakes. It’s far from optimal to drive on icy roads with brakes that are not in perfect condition, making regular check-ups is essential. Engine coolant. This vital fluid is a crucial element in maintaining good cabin heat while protecting your engine. Have the level checked at every oil change and replace the coolant as per your vehicle’s recommended schedule. Now if you’ve made it this far, here’s the reward. Speedy Glass has graciously supplied five winter vehicle kits that I’d love to give away to those readers with the best winter driving tip. Simply forward your tip to my email address listed below and I’ll select and print the best five in an upcoming article and get a kit out to you.

Drivers Beware: One-third of Canadians aren’t using winter tires Michelin Survey Reveals Canadians Value Winter Tires, but Uptake is Slow Despite an overwhelming majority of Canadians indicating that safety outweighs cost when it comes to purchasing winter tires, a recent Michelin survey reveals that more than one in three (34 per cent) Canadian drivers still do not own a set of winter tires.
Falls can be prevented – tips to stay upright Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians. The scary statistic is that three in every 10 seniors will fall in a year. Anyone can fall. But as we age, our risk of falling becomes greater. That's the bad news. The good news is that falls can be prevented. The first step to avoiding falls is to understand what causes them. For example, poor balance, decreased muscle and bone strength, reduced vision or hearing, and unsafe conditions in and around your home can increase your chance of falling. Staying safe and on your feet is a matter of taking some steps to protect yourself. At home: Reduce clutter in your home (loose wires, area rugs etc). Be sure your home has good lighting and the paths are clear between rooms. Safety aids: Don't be embarrassed to use aids for daily living. Wear your glasses, hearing aids and use a walker or cane if needed. Appropriate foot wear can make a big difference to help prevent a fall. Medications: Understand the side effects. Go over all medication (prescription, over the counter, vitamins). Some drug side effects and drug interactions can cause dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness. Not taking medications as prescribed can also be hazardous. Stay Fit: Without exercise, you lose your muscle tone and strength, especially in your legs, which is imperative in maintaining balance. Low impact exercise, such as aquatic classes, or Tai Chi can all help to improve muscle strength. A great way to increase balance! Regular doctor visits: Fortunately, falls are preventable. Have your doctor give you a full physical evaluation to rule out any medical issues that can increase your likeliness of falls. See your optometrist annually. Make sure your glasses are up to date. Poor vision increases your chance of falls. Take action! Submitted by Robyn Willroider, director of wellness, Carolina Retirement Suites
The number of risk-takers significantly increases as you move westward across the country with nearly half (48 per cent) of Western Canadians (BC, AB, SK, MB) reporting they do not own a set of winter tires. In Quebec winter tires are required by law from Dec. 15 to March 15. A 2011 study released by the Quebec government found the province saw a drop (five per cent) in winter driving injuries after the government made winter tires mandatory, showing that how you equip your vehicle in winter can make a difference. Although 77 per cent of respondents agreed that cost weighs on their decisions to purchase winter tires, 88 per cent agreed that safety weighs on their decision, and 61 per cent agreed that there is no ceiling price on tires when it comes to winter road safety for themselves and others. So if Ca-
nadians understand the value of winter tires, why is the adoption rate not higher? The lack of winter tire use can be attributed to the belief among many Canadians (43 per cent) that allseason tires are sufficient for winter driving. Respondents from Western Canada (56 per cent) particularly believe all-season tires are safe for the winter, followed by Ontario (50 per cent). While this belief is less prevalent in Eastern Canada, 26 per cent of Quebec respondents and 20 per cent of Atlantic Canadians still believe allseason tires are sufficient for winter driving. Carl Nadeau, Michelin driving expert, is disconcerted by the news. “While all-season tires are meant to keep you safe in occasional, transitional weather conditions, you need winter tires to safely ride through our
Canadian winters. The unique tread compounds of winter tires allow them to remain more flexible in colder temperatures, providing better traction than all-season tires. All-season tires are less flexible and less effective when the temperature drops consistently below freezing, and especially when precipitation is added to the mix.” Additional reasons given by Canadians for not owning winter tires: In the majority of provinces, the most popular reason for not owning winter tires is the belief that the respondents’ vehicles are sufficient at handling winter conditions: Manitoba and Saskatchewan (36 per cent), Alberta (33 per cent), Atlantic Canada (31 per cent), and Ontario (29 per cent). In British Columbia, 56 per cent of the respondents indicated they do not own winter tires because it does
not snow enough or get cold enough where they live. The main reason respondents gave in Quebec for not owning winter tires at the time of the survey was that they had purchased a new vehicle in the spring/summer that did not come with winter tires (52 per cent). “Winter can be a challenging season, so to safely and fully enjoy it, it is imperative that drivers properly prepare their vehicles to handle the snow, ice, slush – and cold,” said Nadeau. “Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road in winter. Making sure your vehicle is equipped with the right set of winter tires is integral to your road safety.” For more information about Michelin and winter driving tips, visit the Michelin Winter Driving section of www.michelin.ca SOURCE: Michelin

Acts of remembrance passed to next generation Nov. 11 is one of the most important days on the calendar. It is Remembrance Day in Canada, the 98th anniversary of the end of the First World War or the "Great War" as it is often called. Next April 9, Canada will mark the centenary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. On Easter Monday 1917, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps did what neither the British or French armies had been able to accomplish in more than two years of fighting. They took and held Vimy Ridge, near the city of Arras in northern France. Vimy was considered the most heavily defended German position on the Western Front. Victory was achieved at a remarkably low cost by First World War standards. There were 10,602 Canadian casualties including 3,598 dead. The triumph at Vimy was a turning point for Allied forces in the war. Back in Canada the victory by our army brought honour and pride to what was a very young nation. Today Vimy Ridge is the site of what is arguably the best known Canadian war memorial and one of the most spectacular war monuments in the world. Carved on its walls are the names of 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France during the First World War, but have no known grave. My wife Kathleen and I are fortunate enough to have visited Vimy
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Ridge and the massive, breathtaking war memorial. It was a moving experience and it's something I highly recommend to all Canadians who visit Continental Europe. The problem we face in terms of Vimy Ridge and the wars of the 20th Century is that so many years later most of our citizens may never be exposed to this important story. The history of Canada's involvement in two world wars and the Korean War is not mandatory in our secondary schools. To me that ensures that in future years only those who are interested in history will be conversant with these important chapters in the story of our nation. Every year surveys done in the lead up to Nov. 11 produce more discouraging results. Young Canadians in particular are not familiar with our war history. The way things are going the situation can only get worse! Obviously organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion, the country's largest veterans' group, are working to keep the importance of remem-
brance in front of our people. Nov. 11 ceremonies continue to be well attended and the wearing of poppies, an important symbol of remembrance, is widespread. Unfortunately Legion membership is declining rapidly and there is concern that if the current trend continues the organization will not be able to sustain its good works. Most important of all perhaps is the Legion's leadership in terms of Remembrance Day. The Legion was built by veterans and as they pass on the number of people invested in the organization and its activities falls. It's a natural progression! There are no First World War veterans left alive and the number of Second World War and Korean War veterans is declining rapidly. War history In September my son Craig and I travelled to England for a father-son getaway. It was Craig's first visit to the United Kingdom. My son is interested in war history and some of our time in London was spent exploring the subject. Like me he is especially interested in the life and times of Winston Churchill, Great Britain's iconic Prime Minister during Second World War. We spent several hours exploring what is now called the Churchill War Rooms (previously the Cabinet War
Rooms). The war rooms and the more recently developed Churchill Museum are located in a subterranean complex in which the nation's leaders took shelter during "The Blitz" the intense German aerial bombing campaign aimed at the British capital. Kathy and I have visited several times over the years. Every time we go more additions and improvements have been made. Operated by the Imperial War Museum the site includes a first-rate, selfguided audio tour of the rooms where Churchill and his cabinet met during the darkest days of the war. The bunker complex is where decisions which would take the island nation from the brink of defeat to victory were made. The Cabinet War Rooms are housed in a former storage area under the Treasury Building in Central London, just off Parliament Square. Construction began in 1938 and they were ready for occupancy in August 1939, the month before the outbreak of war. They served as the nation's wartime nerve centre until August 1945 and victory over Japan. The site was abandoned until its value as a tourist attraction was recognized. The bunker opened for public tours in 1984. It is essentially a time capsule, with many of the rooms remaining exactly as they were the day the site was closed at the end of the Second World War.

In the early 2000s a further 850-square metres of adjoining underground space was redeveloped. In 2005 that area opened as a biographical museum on Churchill's life. In 2010 the entire complex had its name shortened to the Churchill War Rooms. The interactive displays in the Churchill museum are excellent and there is a wealth of memorabilia which helps trace the life and career of a truly remarkable man. Craig thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Also during our time in London, I made a point of taking my son to see the Battle of Britain Monument. Located on Victoria Embankment, on the north side of the River Thames, the impressive series of sculptures and friezes pay tribute to the military personnel who served during the Battle of Britain as well as depicting the horrors faced by civilians during the Blitz. The memorial was unveiled in September 2005 on the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and is one of the most easily accessible war memorials in London. Kathy and I first visited it two days after the dedication ceremony. Interestingly when Craig and I went to the site Sept. 17 a small ceremony was being held at the monument to mark the 76th anniversary of the famous battle which ended the threat of a Nazis invasion of England.

Included in the ceremony were two of the surviving Royal Air Force pilots from the battle. I was able to quickly shake hands with one but unfortunately I did not have time to obtain his name. We were told by an official they are among only 14 surviving pilots from the battle. That of course plays into what I mentioned earlier about how quickly we are losing our veterans. It seems that every day in the obituary section of the daily newspaper I see that another Second World War or Korean veteran has passed away. Not surprising considering most of those men and women are now in their late '80s and '90s. Educational programs On a positive note this Remembrance Day there are educational programs out there that are aimed at teaching our youth about past wars and Canada's involvement in them. I am a founding director of the Roy Brown Society of Carleton Place that is dedicated to promoting and publicizing the stories of Carleton Place-born First World War ace Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown and 14 fellow First World War pilots from Carleton Place. Brown is the Canadian flyer who shot down famous German ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen (later nicknamed "The Red Baron") on April 21, 1918. There is a remarkable story attached to every Great War flyer from Canada who joined the then fledgling military air services. A select number of those tales of bravery can be found among the displays at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, a facility we can all be proud of. The war museum is a leader in public education about the world wars. In addition a new collaborative video series involving the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Sound Venture Productions, an Ottawa-based film company debuted recently on CPAC, Canada's public affairs television channel. The three part series entitled 'A Nation Soars' commemorates Canada's Great War flyers. Last week I was among several people from our society, along with staff from the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and Brown family members, who attended the launch for part two of the film series called "Wings of Courage." The event was held at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. Part 2, which includes Brown's story, aired on CPAC Sunday night. Part 3 is still in production. During the launch we heard details of a planned Vimy Flight next April to mark the 100th anniversary of the famous battle. Canadian pilots will fly replica biplanes built by a team including air cadets at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, British Columbia. It is wonderful to see such important initiatives unfolding, especially those involving young people. It is up to present and future generations to ensure the stories of Canada's involvement in the world wars and the sacrifices made by so many of our citizens are perpetuated. Attending Remembrance Day ceremonies tomorrow in our own communities is just one way we can help keep their memories alive!

She trying awfully hard to get your attention but she’s still waiting. Peggy is easy going, laid back and very friendly. She’s about two years old and has been with LAWS since June this year.

Initially we thought she’d be better off in a barn, but we feel, with a little extra time and TLC Ritchie would love to be your house cat. Please meet this young

As simultaneous unveiling ceremonies unfold in the communities of each winning coin designer, the Mint today unveiled the work of Wesley Klassen, which will grace the reverse (or tails) side of the 2017 one-dollar circulation coin. “It’s an amazing honour to have my artwork displayed the 2017 one-dollar coin and this will make my memories of Canada 150 that much more special for me and my family,” said Wesley Klassen. “I chose images that are in one way or another connected to the railroad, for which all Canadians can be forever grateful, and I’m touched that my design appealed to so many of them.” “As the country looks forward to marking Canada’s 150 birthday next year, the Government of Canada is pleased that the Mint has given Canadians a taste of celebrations to come by unveiling the designs that will change the face of our 2017 circulation coins,” said the Honourable Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance.
“These coins will stand the test of time as memorable keepsakes of a milestone in Canadian history.” “From the artists who shared their vision to the people who voted for their favourite designs, Canadians showed how much Canada means to them,” said Sandra Hanington, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “The My Canada, My Inspiration coin design contest captured heartfelt expressions of the spirit of Canada and the Mint is proud that our 2017 circulation coins will give Canadians new stories worth holding onto as they celebrate Canada 150.” Drawing on childhood memories of family vacations, Wesley Klassen chose to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary by illustrating the iconic engineering achievements which dominate our landscape from east to west — all of which is connected by railroad. His reverse design of the 2017 $1 circulation coin features landmarks such a the Lion’s Gate Bridge, a prairie grain elevator, the CN Tower, Quebec City’s majestic Chateau Frontenac Hotel and an East Coast lighthouse. On March 11, 2015, the Mint launched a national contest invit-
ing the public to create new designs for a 2017 circulation coin series celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary from five theme perspectives: Our Wonders, Our Character, Our Achievements, Our Passions, and Canada’s Future. After the public cast over one million online votes, Mr. Klassen’s design won the popular vote among five finalists in the running for the coin celebrating Our Achievements. The finalists in each category were determined by the Royal Canadian Mint and a panel of notable Canadians. The winning design per category was selected by Canadians in an online vote which took place in September 2015. Each 2017-dated circulation coin denomination will feature one of the winning designs and Canadians will be able to find these coins in their change next spring. The Mint is also launching an extensive collector coin program in celebration of Canada 150. Interested customers can sign up at www.mint.ca to receive the latest product news.

Listen to yourself and know the signs of a gambling problem Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) focuses on the importance of paying attention to how gambling makes you feel during Problem Gambling Prevention Week, which ran 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

Smiths Falls’ Stan Lasenba retiring after 45 years in Scouting BY IRIS WINSTON
Stan Lasenba has been a committed member of the Scouting movement in Canada for 45 years. It all began in Quebec in 1972 when his son Earl’s cub troop was short of leaders. Lasenba volunteered to help out. “You might say I was ‘voluntold,’” he says with a smile. When the family moved from Quebec to Smiths Falls, young Earl proudly told the leader of his cub troop there that his father was his Akela. (The Akela, the symbol of wisdom or den/pack leader in the cub program is named after the wolf in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book.) “After that, they soon came after me and I’ve been involved ever since,” says Lasenba. “A lot of people get into scouting because of their kids, but once you are involved and start reading about scouting, you realize all that it includes and you believe in the program. I liked the old aim of helping the development of the youth mentally, spiritually and physically. It was easy for everyone to understand and follow. Nowadays, the mission statement includes more gobbledygook. All scouting is really about is getting kids to have fun and be better.” With that in mind, scouting was a family affair for the Lasenbas in the late ‘70s, he adds, as his wife, Jean, and daughters Brenda and Sherrill,

Smiths Falls resident Stan Lasenba, above, is set to retire from the Scouting movement. He has been a committed volunteer with the organization since getting involved in Quebec in 1972 when his son Earl’s cub troop was short of leaders. were part of the Girl Guide movement, while he and Earl continued in the scouting program. For Lasenba, a longtime Bell employee, scouting has remained a major part of his life since 1972. During what became a stellar
career in the movement, he has held such major offices as district commissioner and assistant regional commissioner, as well as planning training programs and training many of the leaders in the area, and also running
regular camps for more than 30 years. In addition, between holding numerous offices, he has led assorted cub troops and been a Beaver leader. “That was when my grandson, Kevin, was a Beaver. He’s 27 now,” he says, adding quietly that he was also involved in the scouting movement in the Mississippi district where his grandson lived and served as president of the organization there. “And I kept on training and helping run the camps, too.” Over the years, he has been honoured as the Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year and is included in the recreational hall of fame for his services to Scouting. He has also been awarded the Silver Acorn, one of Scouts Canada’s highest awards for “especially distinguished service to scouting.” He will be retiring from the movement next year, in part, he says, because, at 77, he wants time out to enjoy retirement (between involvement with the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, regular curling and playing duplicate bridge) and, in part, because he is not comfortable with the current direction of the movement. “Scouting has changed to the point that I am not sure I believe in it any more,” he says. “It’s moved too far from what (Robert) Baden-Powell (founder of Scouts) believed in. He always said it should be a volunteer organization, but these days, too many
decisions are made by the paid staff. Having boys and girls together at the cub level also bothers me. Boys of eight to 10 are so far behind girls of the same age that mixing them makes it hard to co-ordinate activities properly.” “My motto has always been, you’ve got to have fun or don’t be there,” he adds. So, in the fun department, Lasenba can be found on Tuesday afternoons playing bridge with partner Keith Anderson, Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 past president, at the legion, as a member of the Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club. For further information about the club, contact Don Grant at 613-283-7164. History of Scouting • The trigger for the Scouting movement was a youth camp, held at Brownsea Island in England in 1907. • Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell, recognized as a hero for his role in holding Mafeking during the Second Boer War in South Africa until the siege was broken, organized the Brownsea Island camp as part of the research for his book, Scouting for Boys. • Earlier, while he was stationed in India, Baden-Powell had published Reconnaissance and Scouting (1884), See LASENBA page 33

a reference work about military scouting. Some 12 years later, in collaboration with his friend and army colleague Frederick Russell Burnham, the American-born Chief of Scouts for the British Army in Africa, he began work on Scouting for Boys, a more general book on scouting based on his military experience. • The original goal of the Scouting movement was to support the physical, mental and spiritual development of the youngsters involved, to encourage them to play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. • In 1909, the first Scout Rally, attended by some 11,000 youngsters, was held at Crystal Palace in London. • When Baden-Powell retired from the army In 1910, he formed the Boy Scouts Association. By the end of the year, it numbered more than 100,000 members. • The program initially focused on boys aged 11 to 18, but as the movement grew, programs for younger and older boys were added: The Cub Scout and Rover Scout programs were added over the next few years. As the movement grew, Sea Scouts, Air Scouts, Beavers (for the very young) and other specialized units were added to the program. • Baden-Powell encouraged others to take leadership roles through developing the Wood Badge course in rec-
Girl Guides • The Girl Guide movement, headed by Baden-Powell’s sister, Agnes, was formed in 1910, at the request of some of the girls who had been at the Crystal Palace rally. • In 1914, Agnes Baden-Powell, as the first president of the Girl Guides, started Rosebuds (later known as Brownies) for the younger girls. Later Ranger Guides were added for the older girls. • In 1918, Baden-Powell’s wife Olave was named Chief Guide for England. By 1930, she was the World Chief Guide. Scouts Canada • The first scouting groups were started in Canada in 1907/1908. • Baden-Powell is believed to have asked Earl Grey then governor General of Canada, to organize Scouting in Canada • In 1914, a branch council of the Boy Scouts Association was established in Canada under the Boy Scouts Association’s overseas department. • Scouts Canada offers programs for young people, male and female, aged five to 26. Its aim is “to help develop well-rounded youth, better prepared for success in the world.” • Scouts Canada, in affiliation with the French-language Association des Scouts du Canada, is a member of the World Organization of the Scouting Movement.

Local musicians enjoy country pickin’ mayhem at the Cove in Westport Ever notice how, whatever you’re doing, let’s say playing golf, gets better when you’re doing it with skilled players? You tend to try harder to keep up, often improving your play. I’ve witnessed the same thing many times, with seasoned musicians being put together onstage and recently had this phenomenon realized, yet again, watching “Country Pickin’ Mayhem” at The Cove in Westport. “Country Pickin’ Mayhem” combines Steve Piticco and Wendell Ferguson, both multi-winning, Canadian Country Guitar Picker of the Year Award winners, cream of the crop veteran singer/songwriters, with fellow guitar picker, Shawn McCullough, who was nominated for the same award a few years ago. Together is just plain magic. Add fiddle playing, multiple award winner, Wade Foster, and backed by the stellar rhythm section of Mark Lemieux on drums and Roch Lafleur on bass and you’ve got a package that will blow the minds of any venue attendee. No egos, the love of playing drives this ensemble, each taking turns sharing their own written material, the other musicians stepping up to add their piece to the puzzle, all adding up to a primo sound. They also give renditions of classic country and pop tunes that, in their time, will have you laughing or crying. As I stated before, playing in this grouping seems to en-

Walsh Doctor Gregory Joseph Walsh
July 2nd, 1953 November 2nd, 2016 A remarkable human being succumbed with dignity and courage on November 2nd, 2016 to brain cancer. Greg was surrounded by close family at his beautiful lake front cottage, a place so close to his heart. He touched many lives as a caring physician, family man and friend in a way that we will never forget. He leaves behind his beloved Arlene, who was his angel here on earth and who provided him with such loving care. Greg was the cherished father of Laura and Emily Walsh and dear stepfather to Bradley and Katie Alford. He was the devoted son of the late Theresa and Patrick Walsh of Ajax. Greg was loved brother to Colleen Walsh (Matt Kojder), Kathleen Walsh (Philip Kienholz), Joanne Williamson (Malcolm), Barbara Walsh (Larry Grawbarger), Maureen Kerr (Kelly), Brian Walsh (Dorothy), John Walsh (Sylvie), Michael Walsh (Nancy). Brother-in-law to: Dan Cameron (Brenda), Bernadette Cameron (Colin), Elaine Cameron (Bill), Louise Kidy (Zak), and Judy Cameron. Greg was also an uncle extraordinaire to his many nieces and nephews. Greg obtained a Bachelor of Physical Education from McMaster University in 1977 followed by a Bachelor of Education from Queen’s University in 1978. He went on to achieve a doctorate degree in family medicine from McMaster University in 1982. He served as an associate professor of family medicine at McMaster University and more recently at the University of Ottawa. Greg’s vocation as a family doctor spanned over 30 years and took him from Chesley to Oakville, to Lanark, where he practiced medicine for almost two decades at the North Lanark Community Health Centre. Greg was known for wearing “magical glasses” through which he could only see the good in people. His mission was “to meet people where they are in need” and in so doing, make the world a better place. Greg was a storyteller and always the life of the party. He loved planning activities and celebrations for the extended family to have fun together. Greg saw life as a wonderful adventure. Truly we are all privileged to have had Greg in our lives, although his time here was cut far too short. God bless you and keep you.

DOWDELL, Della – November 13, 2015 The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, forever. The Family.

STANLEY – In memory of Madeline Stanley, loving wife, mother and grandmother, whom we lost 15 years ago, November 13th, 2001. “Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you not time, not space… not even death.” -Unknown

Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Class Environmental Assessment BTE is initiating an MTO Group C Environmental Assessment (EA) for potential intersection improvements at Highway 7 and Crampton Road in accordance with the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (as amended in 2000) document. The study will examine intersection improvements to accommodate new residential development access. This study will also assess the previous Wilson Creek Subdivision Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study which recommended a new left turn lane to serve the development site. The need and justification for the intersection improvements comes from the approval of the municipal subdivision for Wilson Creek Subdivision Phase 1 and Phase 2. The EA process will: confirm the design criteria for the intersection; generate alternatives; document the environmental inventories; evaluate the alternatives and recommend a preferred alternative; define a mitigation plan; and, prepare an Environmental Screening Document to present the Recommended Plan. There is an opportunity at any time during the EA process for interested persons to provide comments. Copies of this notice in the form of a flyer will also be distributed to the residences in the Wilson Creek Subdivision and to residences within one kilometre of the intersection along Highway 7 and Crampton Road. Should you have comments or questions, you are encouraged to contact the individuals listed below.

World War soldiers from the cenotaph,” explained Lachance. “At the time, they were just names to the kids.” Lachance showed his students how to access records through Library and Archives Canada. “What we did was take the attestation papers and printed them off for every soldier. The students saw some were from Kemptville, some from Spencerville, Burritts Rapids, Oxford Mills – they were all local. That was neat for the students to see. The fact you have these soldiers, who lived where the students live now, it hits closer to home.” His passion for military history is something he loves to share with his students. “Some of the students started digging around and found things I hadn’t found,” he explained. “Some noticed how young these soldiers were when they signed up.” The students also went through the circumstances of death cards for each soldier. “It gave more detail about how they died. Now those soldiers mean more to them than just a name on the cenotaph. I am very proud of the kids; they put a lot of time and effort into this.” Out of all the soldiers the students researched, only two survived the war.

They understand the sacrifice.” All the research gathered about the individual soldiers are being compiled into bilingual posters, featuring photos, attestation papers and information about their lives.

The board is allowing schools to plead their cases and have 16 presentation spots, but 29 schools are at risk – and more than one delegation can speak on behalf of each school – so it’s not guaranteed Wolford’s delegation will even be able to make their case, said Maitland. Maitland said the board hasn’t given them any information on what two points delegates from schools pleading their case are supposed to make to the board. “It’s frustrating for us who (are) trying to fight for their school.” Maitland said their school’s presentation has to be submitted to the board
prior to presentation dates scheduled on Nov. 16 in Perth and in February 2017. Pavan said she’d keep the petition going until March when the board is expected to make their decision on which schools will be closed. There will be an ARC meeting at Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Nov. 16, beginning at 6:30 p.m. A second meeting will be held Jan. 30 at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, also starting at 6:30 p.m. To be considered as a delegate, they must receive your request to speak five days before the meeting date.

Merrickville author Dan Black pens Too Young to Die: Canada’s Boy Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen in the Second World War BY JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
A piece of history no one should ever forget. Merrickville author Dan Black has again brought to life the stories of underage soldiers, sailors and airmen. His first book, co-authored with John Boileau, titled Old Enough to Fight addressed underage servicemen during the First World War. His latest title, also co-authored with Boileau, Too Young to Die tells the stories of underage servicemen during the Second World War. "We have young men represented from all branches of service," explained Black. "They may have enlisted when they were 15 or 16, but the time the war was over, they may have been 18 - they grew up during that time. They learned to adapt. Some survived; some didn't." One young man in the book not only lied about his age, but also assumed the identity of his older brother, Black explained. To track down underage soldiers, Black and Boileau delved into the personnel files of soldiers, sailors and airmen; more specifically, the estate branch form. "They were asked to state their date of birth when they enlisted and we compared that to the date of birth given by the mother on the estate form that was sent out to reconcile the soldier's estate. That had a great impact on me, when I was going through those files, to see the handwriting of the mothers. Imagining what they were going through at the time." Too Young to Die tells the chronology of the Second World War. "Woven into the book are the stories of these boys," said Black. "We didn't want to just have a whole bunch of names. We wanted to tell the story and weave their stories into the narrative." Bob Muir, who eventually
settled in Jasper, landed on Juno Beach on D-Day with the 14th Field Regiment. He enlisted at the age of 16. "Bob comes in and out of the story; how he enlisted and then landing on D-Day." Black interviewed Muir's wife Grayce and daughter Andrea for the book. "They were most helpful in relating Bob's story." Another underage soldier, Bill Chitty, who settled in Gananoque after the war, grew up on a farm Midgic, New Brunswick. "Bill makes a comment in the book about how for the longest time he thought his name was Gitwood (get wood) because that's what his father always said to him," said Black. "There are funny stories like that woven into the book." Muir and Chitty were on the same self-propelled gun, known as a Priest, on Juno Beach. "Bob's wife knows Bill's wife Margret. The 14th Field Regiment held annual reunions and they met there. It was interesting when I interviewed Margret that she was able to make that connection. Margret's daughter, Karen, not only opened up her heart about her dad, but also every photo album. I was very blessed to have help from these families. I am incredibly grateful to the family members for sharing so much." "I was also very, very fortunate to have interviewed vet-
thinking about the Canadians killed at Dieppe in 1942. "We were looking for this battle to pay..." Beneath the naval and air force bombardment, "we fired all the way in then turned around and went out to allow the infantry to land." Muir was only sixteen when he enrolled in the spring of 1941, and just seventeen when he got overseas... With a forward written by former Chief of Defence Staff and ambassador to the United States General John de Chastelain, the 484-page book began arriving in bookstores across Canada in early October. A book launch and signing will be held at the Merrickville Public Library on Nov. 19 at 3 p.m. A book signing will also be held at the Merrickville Book Emporium on Nov. 26 at 12 noon. An author address and book signing will be held at the Brockville Public Library Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland on Dec. 3 at 2 p.m.

Muir saved the life of a man wounded on a dike in Germany, by the name of Dave Dickson. He was shot in the chest, but the bullet bounced off a tin of tobacco. "Thinking he was dying, he grabbed a photo of his wife," explained Black. "That motion caught the attention of Bob, who got help. Bob wouldn't
want us to say he saved Dickson's life. After the Ice Storm of 1998, Dave called Bob at home in Jasper. This was the man he had pulled off a dike in March, 1945. Bob died on Jan. 7, 1999 and Dave passed away on June 18, 2014. The guy he saved outlived him. Dave drove through a snow storm to attend Bob's funeral. These guys always had each other's backs." Excerpt from Too Young to
Die; ...Bob Muir was anxious to "score some hits." In his mind, his own safety was secondary to killing the enemy. Focused on his task, he had endured the crossing without throwing up, and years later politely-and curtly-recalled the vomit-filled morning. "It was very rough and stormy. It was not very nice at all." Soaked by ocean spray, he had spent part of his time
About the authors Black retired as the editor of Legion Magazine in early 2015. During his time at the magazine he wrote and edited hundreds of feature articles on Canada's military, past and present. Boileau is a retired Canadian army colonel. He has authored several books and magazine articles and is a frequent commentator on military issues. A piece of history no one should ever forget.

The mother of all stories; local author seeks moms willing to contribute to book JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Every mother has a story to tell; of love, heartbreak, exclusion, judgement, friendship, frustration, pure joy, insomnia or guilt. Mothers have been through it all. Local author and art therapist Anne Walsh has set out on a mission to gather these stories and compile them into a book all mothers can relate to. And she wants your help. "I am writing a book called Mommy Monologues, which is basically a
book about motherhood," explained Walsh. Working as an art therapist has shown here that often mothers feel alone. "Mommy's have monologues running through their heads; I didn't make it to an activity at my child's school, I wasn't there for them, I didn't get this done, my child doesn't have their boots on like everyone else, they left without mittens." Motherhood has become a competitive sport, said Walsh. "Where there is competition, there
is no vulnerability, so people don't see you need support. Meanwhile, people are struggling and nobody knows." The goal of the book is to break through the barrier of taboo; to show struggling doesn't mean you're a bad mom. "I want to show the variety of mommy monologues," said Walsh. "To show moms they are not alone." When you think about motherhood, you see images of the 'soccer mom' or 'working mom,' she explained. "There are so many more varieties out there; moms who adopted, moms
who are gay, moms with addiction issues, moms with mental health issues or who have kids with mental health issues. There are all these different types of moms out there with no community. All they see are moms who are able-bodied and not struggling, so they feel isolated." "What I want to do is interview all these moms," she continued. "I am looking for moms from all walks of life. I want to hear it all. My goal is for every mother to be able to pick up this book and be able to find her story." Walsh, who has interviewed 10
moms so far, hopes to include stories from about 100. "I've talked to many moms about this and a lot of them say 'oh, you wouldn't want my story in your book.' They don't feel like they are good enough to be included. I want to honour all stories by putting them in the book. No story is insignificant." If you are interested in sharing your story with Walsh, email her directly at artnsoul@ripnet.com or send her a message on Facebook. People who participate do not have to use their real name in the book.

Approximately 1,000 girls from across region encouraged to consider entering trades JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Live to work, don't work to live. That was the key message from presenter Jamie McMillan, iron worker, to the 200 female students gathered at the Urbandale Arts Centre in Kemptville on Nov. 2. The Upper Canada District School Board and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario teamed up to bring the Women in Trades event to approximately 1,000 female students in grade seven through nine. The three-day event began in Cornwall on Oct. 31 and ended in Kemptville on Nov. 2. Students from Kemptville, Carleton Place, Almonte and Smiths Falls took part. The Women in Trades event was made possible through funding received from the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), which covered busing costs for all the students to take part. McMillan, a 15-year veteran of iron work, spends half the year working and the other half presenting to students to promote the trades. She told the students the story behind Rosie the Riveter; during World War Two, women in Canada were encouraged to work in the trades while men were away at war. A woman named Veronica Foster, who was working in the trades, was turned into a symbol to encourage other women to join up. A story was written about Veronica in the New York Times and from that story, Rosie the Riveter was born. "As a Canadian, I am proud of that; we inspired that campaign," said
McMillan. In high school, McMillan didn't know what she wanted to do with her life and was intimidated by the thought of getting a post secondary education. "I couldn't get through my days very well, so I dropped out of high school. I got a job at Tim Hortons, moved out of my parent's house. I had enough money to pay my bills and that was it. I lived like that for a while, until one day my parents called me and said they were disappointed; they wanted me to do something with my life." McMillan took a 20-week Personal Support Worker (PSW) course and landed a job at a nursing home. After a few years, the heartache of watching the people she worked with pass away began to wear on her. "It was hurting me," she explained. She moved to Toronto and became a waitress. In 2002, she bumped into a girl she knew in high school, who had trained to be an iron worker. "I am an adrenaline junky, so I went to the union hall and applied," said McMillan. "They ended up sending me a letter that began Mr. McMillan. They wanted me to come in and do some testing. They were a little surprised when I showed up and turned out not to be a man." She started at $17 an hour in the trades. "My first paycheck was the biggest one I had ever got." She asked the students how many of them would like to get paid to go to school. All hands shot up in the air. "I take every opportunity to get more certificates and expand my
knowledge base. My work experience has been awesome. I work all across the country. I absolutely love what I do. You are going to work one-third of your life, so you need to love your job." There are not many women in trades, she explained. On one job site, with 2,000 skilled trades' workers, there were four female iron workers. "I have been on sites where 50 per cent are foreign trades' workers," said McMillan. "That is money all of you guys could be taking home - something to think about." She encouraged all the students to take a tech class of some kind in high school. "You might end up finding out you like working with your hands. Even if you don't, you're still going to gain life skills." "Work to live, don't live to work," she continued. "I get to travel and live my dreams. It's hard work - I am not going to sugar-coat it. Women work differently; they work smarter rather than harder. Women are more meticulous and patient." Bobby Watt, stone mason, also spoke to the students about the benefits of entering the trades. "We are very, very short of people in my trade," said Watt. "We have to bring in stone masons from around the world to help us." Currently, there is a shortage of 300,000 skilled trades' workers in Canada, he explained. "Women in trades is very important," he said. The students were able to check out information booths about various trades following the presentations.
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.

North Grenville Fill-A-Bag food drive kicks-off Nov. 27 It is that time of year when the North Grenville Community Church supports the Salvation Army's Food Bank and its Christmas Hamper program. Through the Fill-a-Bag initiative, you can contribute to this important and meaningful cause. How does it work? Empty bags are delivered throughout the community by campaign teams starting Nov. 27 at 1 p.m. Community members are encouraged to fill the bag with
non-perishable food and hygiene items. Filled bags can be left out on your front porch, or another convenient and visible spot such as the end of your lane if you are in a rural location. The filled bags will be picked up by dedicated teams on Dec. 4, starting at 1 p.m. We would also like to thank all teams, supporters and sponsors for last year's work. This year we are also thankful for the Kemptville Mall, which is providing us with use of the emp-
ty store between Woofs and Wags and Love your Pet for Christmas Central. This location will serve as our Fill-a-Bag hub. We are looking for energetic teams and support of various sorts for this year's Fill-a-Bag campaign. Just as in previous years there will be refreshments for the teams after the work is done (their work) and the kids will be able to play on a bouncy castle as well! Teams can be registered online at http://www.ngccfm.ca/food-
drive or via phone by calling the North Grenville Community Church at 613-258-4815 ext. 100. Those who wish to help after the groceries are collected should contact the Salvation Army at 613-258-3583 and ask for Angela. Thank you to all teams, supporters and sponsors for making the 2016 Fill-a-Bag Food Drive not only memorable, but meaningful! Submitted by the North Grenville Community Church
Forbes Symon no longer municipal employee BY JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Forbes Symon, former director of planning and development, is no longer an employee of the Municipality of North Grenville. A memo was sent out to municipal staff approximately two weeks ago informing them of Symon’s departure. “We wish him well,” commented CAO Brian Carré. As the departure of municipal employees, even department heads, is a human resources matter, the CAO could not comment further. “It’s a personal matter between an individual and his employer,” said Carré.
The municipality is currently going through the process of hiring a new director of planning and development. Carré said he suspects the process will take about a month. The position has yet to be posted. Symon’s departure follows a long-term leave of absence from the municipality, which began in June. Symon was seconded fulltime to the Kemptville College file on May 2. Once his leave of absence began, Carré re-assumed handling of the file. Whether Symon received his full wage (he was paid $105,576 in 2015) from the municipality during his leave of absence is unknown. Forbes Symon.

Gardener’s Corner
Tread Lightly We have been harvesting the last of the root vegetables and Angie has been bringing all the garden art and gnomes back to their winter shed. The chickens are on strike. They haven’t laid an egg in three days. They just eat the feed and bask under the heat lamp. Everyone needs a vacation. It’s getting darker earlier and it’s getting colder. We are all hunkering down for the coming winter. When we do the postscript on this last growing season, it will be mixed. Lots of heat, not enough rain until late in the summer and yet unexpected bounty. Things could be worse. We’ve shared jam and jelly with friends and family, two big boxes of produce to the food bank and I delivered ten pounds of apples to our daughter. She made the best apple butter I’ve tasted. Not too sweet, lots of apple flavour and not overspiced. There should be another jar or two in our future. Hint, hint. November is my least favourite month. The leaves have left the trees, the rain and sleet are a day to day concern and we’re always looking for the snowstorm that lasts. There was a time when I embraced winter. We skied in the Gatineaus and skated on the canal in Ottawa. We even hosted New Years Eve skating parties with clam chowder, chili and hot chocolate. It would all appear like a Currier and Ive’s painting. Friends, family and food. How did we get so lucky? We are Canadians, that’s how. We have been watching the news from around

the world and there is so much hatred and poverty and far too many weapons. “Swords into ploughshares” takes on an important message. Imagine if the majority of people on this planet were to put down their guns and get into the garden. To grow instead of destroy. To stop thinking about power and politics and start thinking about plants and the planet. To grow their garden and their family. It may just be the wish of an ageing gardener but I think it’s time we, as a species tread lightly on the earth and provide and protect any culture, flora or fauna. We are all in this together. We live on a little blue orb in a vast universe. We are special, not necessarily unique but special. We need to change the way we think about things. We need to stop dumping tons of chemicals on farm fields to increase yield or prevent weeds. It’s in our ground water and I have first and second hand experience with cancer. If my 66 years have taught me any lessons, it is this. Live life to the fullest, it’s shorter then you think. Grow and don’t destroy. Laugh, laugh as much as you can and cry when you need to. Remember your roots and always tread lightly. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Rural life
have lived in the rural area of North Grenville all my life. What do I know about rural life? Not so much as to be able to explain the process of milking cows, but enough to tell you where all the berry patches can be found in Oxford Mills. I am a country girl without the cowboy boots and flannel, so to speak. Would I ever live in an urban area? I have no idea. Maybe it will be something I try when I get older and sick of yard work (nearly there at this point). I know rural North Grenville pretty well. I am no expert, nor will I pretend to be as some do. What I do know about rural people - my people - is the aversion to change most of us harbour. Urban people are accustomed to change. New stores open all the time in cities and towns. New housing developments break ground. And new neighbours are more frequent in a larger community. In the country, things stay the same. The same families pass on houses from generation to generation. The same neighbours lend you sugar for decades. And the small stores continue to stock your favourite items. That is, things never used to change. Now we come upon a whole new era for the rural communities of North Grenville. The last decade or so, there has been significant change in the small villages and hamlets. Oxford Mills no longer has a general store. Many of the characters that shaped the community have moved away or died. The dam is no longer a
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION playground for youth, but rather a boarded up danger beacon. Oxford Mills has changed and the people who live there along with it. Now the school faces possible closure and we steady ourselves for more change down the road. Bishop’s Mills general store closed long ago. As has Burritts Rapids general store. The general stores functioned as community hubs and now they are gone. The community associations are still alive and well, but their continuation depends on the next generation of volunteers, who have yet to step-up to the plate. Change has impacted all the rural communities in North Grenville. As such, rural residents have had to adjust to a different way of life. The 2016 Rural Summit, to be held Nov. 26 at Kemptville College beginning at 8:30 a.m., is an opportunity for rural residents to be heard. This is your chance to say what you want. This is your opportunity to get up and tell municipal council and staff how you feel about the future of your rural communities. If you let it pass then you have no one but yourself to blame for what lies ahead.

Influenza is a pretty word for a not very pretty situation
I
’ve always thought the word ‘influenza’ was romantic. You imagine beautiful young maidens in long flowing dresses and tresses perishing of influenza and consumption. Just heating up and wasting away, in a long ago fairy tale setting. That’s before I got the flu and held onto it for two solid weeks. It ain’t so pretty anymore. They’re really pushing the flu shot again this year and so of course I got mine. I was in the doctor’s office for my monthly B12 shot when the nurse asked me if I wanted a flu shot. It was in my arm before I suddenly remembered that as soon as I had the shot last year, I got the flu. This year it took nearly a week but it did eventually show up, as feared.* Luckily I was just transitioning to working from home again so I didn’t have to miss any time at the office. But after a solid week of cold medicine, cough syrup and Vic’s Vap-o-Rub, I started to investigate more natural methods of dealing with flu symptoms. Which brings me back to the year we had two Chinese boys living with us. The winter of 2014 was a particularly harsh one, and like nothing these
The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER
boys from the seaside town of Suzhou had ever seen or felt before. When that first chill set in, they started looking around for some of their traditional herbal remedies. The boys drank about six cups of dark Chinese herbal tea with ginseng and raw honey every night. They drank so much hot water during the day they wore out an electric kettle and I started to research water intoxication to ensure they weren’t drinking too much. One night as I tucked in to sleep, I smelled something very strange wafting through the air. I could smell cooking. I got out of bed and padded down the stairs in my robe and slippers to see what the boys were up to in the kitchen. There was no one there. I went back upstairs, noticing the smell was growing stronger. It was a strong
herbal, onion-y aroma – not unpleasant, but I didn’t want to sleep in it. I hoped they hadn’t brought food up to their rooms. Opening my bedroom window for fresh air, I closed my door and went to sleep. The next morning I passed Big Jerry in the hallway on his way to the bathroom. The smell of garlic followed him like a green cloud and seeped from his hair, his skin, his every pore. “Jerry!” I laughed, startling him fully awake. “If you eat raw garlic like that you aren’t going to have to worry about the girls getting too close.” He just blinked at me and continued on his way. Later the boys explained to me that they eat copious amounts of raw garlic in China when they feel a cold coming on. “We don’t want you to get sick,” they explained. I told them they were making me sick with the smell and they needed to back off a bit on their health kick. I hid the raw garlic in the back of the beer fridge. The next morning it was obvious they had found it. The Farmer had to drive them to school with the windows down on the truck. When the Farmer is sick – about
once every five years – he coats a wool sock with Vic’s and wraps it around his neck. This season he is using a neck warmer. He wears it all day when he’s out building his log cabin, and sleeps with it on at night. I’m going to steal it while he’s in the shower and give it a run through the wash. Maureen at the Kemptville Restaurant says she protects herself against the flu-wielding public by taking raw ginseng all season long. It comes in little vials and it’s really cheap and effective. That’s the next trial on my list, because I don’t think I can handle drinking garlic soup all day long. I realize you can also take concentrated garlic
in tablet form but – guess what?- the tablets are sealed with some kind of compound that gives me migraines. I just can’t win. Cold season is disgusting. And why do the effective cold remedies have to taste so bad? Buckley’s, ginseng, raw garlic – at least we don’t have to worry about spreading the cold by kissing. No one is coming near me with a tenfoot pole. *You can’t get the flu directly from the flu shot, as it contains a dead virus. However if your immune system is already compromised, you may be vulnerable to viruses in circulation. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Parent group looks to community for input on Oxford-On-Rideau Public School JENNIFER WESTENDORP
jwestendorp@metroland.com
It's not over till it's over. The parents' group known as Oxford SOS (Save Our School) launched a survey to gather statistics about Oxford-On-Rideau Public School. They are asking the community to assist in their efforts to prevent the school's closure. On Sept. 24, the Upper Canada District School Board released a report titled 'Building for the Future: Pupil Accommodation Review.' The report classified potential school closures into three categories; the first being school closures involving the transfer of students to existing schools with space, with the schools listed shuttering their doors on June 30, 2017. The schools in category one of the report include Oxford-OnRideau Public School and Wolford Public School. A total of 29 schools, ranked in category one through three, were listed in the report. A final Board decision about school closures is expected for March 23, 2017. "We want to save our school," said Jennifer Monk, SOS member. The survey can be found at the Oxford SOS (Save Our School) Facebook page. SOS members have also gone door-to-door handing out surveys in the Oxford Mills community. "We've had a great response to our survey so far," said Monk. She explained the key is getting parents/guardians of students at other local schools to understand the impact the potential closure will have on their children. "When the boundaries change, busing routes will change. There will be even more students in classrooms. There are so many ramifications people aren't aware of. We want to get the word out about the survey to get responses from parents throughout North Grenville." Within the first week, the survey received over 70 responses. The SOS group plans to take all the information gathered through the survey, such as the desire to incorporate French immersion and after school care at Oxford-OnRideau, and use it to plead their case to the UCDSB trustees. "It's bittersweet," Monk explained. "We want to see those numbers of parents who didn't choose Oxford because it lacked French and after school care, but that is why this is happening in the first place. The group received municipal support from North Grenville Council on Oct. 24. "Council's support gave us more ammunition."
Oxford SOS, which is in constant contact with trustee Lisa Swan, is attempting to put together a tour for all the UCDSB trustees to come see the school they are considering closing. "We think it will open their eyes," said Monk. "You walk through the doors of that school and it's the feeling you get; its home. But you have to walk through those doors. If it was me voting on something, I would want
to do my due diligence." Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is also circulating a petition in North Grenville to halt the process of closing the schools. The petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario hopes to 'reinstate considerations of value to the local community and the value of the local economy in Pupil Accommodation Review Guidelines; and to work with the school boards, including the UCDSB, to modify the
funding model to include appropriate funding that considers rural education opportunities, student busing times, accessible extra-curricular and inter-school activities, a school's role as a community hub, and its value to the local economy.' The petition can currently be found at Jonsson's Independent, the North Grenville Municipal Centre, B&amp;H Grocer, Fast Eddie's Diner, Capilano Pizzeria, Coldwell Banker, Canadian Tire, The Score,
Nature's Way, Brewed Awakenings, South Branch Bistro (the new Branch), R. Rose Automotive and Grahame's Bakery. Clark met with members of Oxford SOS on Oct. 27 to discuss the importance of keeping Oxford-OnRideau open. "His petition is helping us indirectly," said Monk. "There's our little fight going on, but there is a major one going on as well."

Frank Hoffman founding sponsor of Ferguson Forest Dog Park North Grenville Dog Parks Inc. is pleased to announce that Frank Hoffman, owner of Canadian Tire, Kemptville has agreed to be the founding sponsor of the Ferguson Forest Dog Park. Hoffman is well known for his philanthropic initiatives in this community and we are very grateful for his generosity. The money from sponsorships is critical to the development of the dog park. The Municipality approved the establishment of the park and the leasing of the land from the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation; however, they are not able to provide funding. NGDP Inc. must, therefore, raise all funding for the park. There have been several successful fundraising events, where we’ve seen amazing support from our community. The money raised has paid for incorporation, seeding of the park, and the costs of promotional material. We must now raise money for fencing the five-acre property, trail clearing in the forest area and composting facilities before the Park can open in 2017. We must also have ongoing funding for maintenance and improvements in the Park. There are four sponsorship levels ranging from $500 to $2,000. Here are some of the benefits of sponsorship: • Recognition with a plaque on
the Ferguson Forest Dog Park sign to be erected on site; • Company logo on all promotional material from NGDP Inc.; • Company logo on website (under construction); and, • Automatic membership to NGDP Inc. ($25 value that includes voting rights at the AGM, the newsletter, admission to talks and information sessions, and more). Sponsorship packages will be delivered to local businesses in the coming weeks. Individuals wishing to become sponsors can contact the Corporation at northgrenvilledogparks@gmail. com and we will ensure you receive a sponsorship package. Opportunities also exist to sponsor items for the dog park such as a permanent gazebo and benches to name just a few. Donations are always welcome too! We envision the dog park as a safe place for dogs to run, socialize, and play; and for people that love dogs to Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland gather. Currently there are no public areas where off-leash dogs are legally permitted within the Municipality and, based on the support we’ve seen so far, there’s a deep need for one. Fi- Frank Hoffman, owner of Canadian Tire in Kemptville, shakes hands with Carl Doucette, president of the nally, I would once again like to thank Ferguson Forest Dog Park committee, in front of the new sign for the dog park. Mr. Hoffman for his generosity and all the future sponsors of the Ferguson Forest Dog Park. Submitted by Carl Doucette, president of NGDP

Raymond Jacques Jr. award
This year marks the 28th time the Raymond Jacques Jr. memorial award has been given to Merrickville Public School students who demonstrate excellence in cross-country.

Since 1989, his father, Raymond Jacques Sr., has awarded MPS students with a plaque commemorating his son and recognizing the dedication, athleticism and attitude of the students. The Raymond Jacques Jr. award was presented to Willow Burnette and Ruby Stringel on Nov. 4 this year.

Kemptville 73’s Sweep Three BY BRIAN WILSON Kemptville played three games this past week, one divisional and two inter- divisional. The action opened on Tuesday, November 1, when the Hawkesbury Hawks visited North Grenville. The Hawks game plan was obvious right from the opening face-off. When facing a smaller team, you hit them hard and often and not necessarily clean, but take what the referees give you and get them off of their game. There were many penalties called and the 73’s penalty killing was efficient and perfect. At one point, they were able to kill off over seven straight minutes of a man and two man short situations. Hawkesbury went 0–7 and Kemptville was 2-5 on their advantages. The teams were assessed a combined 99 minutes in the box. In the first, the 73’s opened the scoring when Neal Samanski stole a puck in the Hawks zone and buried it before anyone could react. It was his fifth of the year. The Hawks responded 12 seconds later to make it a 1-1 tie. Before the end of the frame, Brady Elder and Vic Tracy com-
bined to set up the go ahead goal by Bobby Dow. Halfway through the second, Tracy made it 3-1 for Kemptville with his eighth of the season, on the power play. The assists went to Adam Alavi and Alex Row. Hawkesbury got that one back before the period ended to keep it close, with a 3-2 Kemptville lead. At 13:41 of the third, on the power play, Quinn Wichers capitalized on a setup by Tyson Kirkby and Dow to make it 4-2. Two minutes later, Tracy scored his second of the game from John Beaton and Alavi. The 73’s were victorious by a final score of 5-2. Nick Hodgins stood tall in the Kemptville net facing 43 shots. Vic Tracy was selected as first star while Bobby Dow was named the second star. On November 4, the CCHL named the CCM/HESN “Players of the Month” for October. Capturing the honour was Kemptville’s Matt Tugnutt. He compiled 19 points (9 goals, 10 assists) in 11 games. He currently leads his team in scoring, the CCHL in goals with 16, and is 2nd in overall league scoring with 31 points (16 goals, 5 assists) in 23 games thus far. Congrats Matt! Well deserved.
Game two of the week had the Cumberland Grads coming to Kemptville on Friday, November 4. Before the game began, as it was the last home game before Remembrance Day, a ceremony was held to honour our veterans. The colour party from the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 212 was piped to center ice. A moment of silence was held, followed by the playing of O Canada. Legion President Sharon Murray, dropped the puck in a ceremonial face-off, followed by the members being piped off the ice. Another rough and tumble game was afoot. The first period was slow and congested as neither team was able to gain an advantage. The combined shots for the period were 14. In the second, 24 seconds was all it took for Matt Tugnutt to find Alex Row who quickly made it 1-0. Ten minutes later, while killing a penalty, Adam Alavi sprang Row loose and it was suddenly 2-0 for the 73’s with Row’s second of the game and his tenth of the season. Kemptville made it 3-1 with a goal by Tugnutt set up by Cameron Bisson and Jack A York. Early in the third, the Grads were able to break the shutout bid by Peter Brooks. Owen Guy put the game out of reach with a power play goal midway through the period. Row and
Alavi grabbed the helpers on that one. With a final of 4-1, Kemptville was two for two for the week. Row and Tugnutt were named first and second stars of the game respectively. Sunday, November 6 had Kemptville make the long trip to Pembroke to face the Lumber Kings. At 0:17 seconds, the Kings took a 1-0 lead. But, 26 seconds later, on a passing play from Victor Tracy and Adam Alavi, Bobby Dow netted number nine of the season to tie the game 1-1. At 4:16, Pembroke regained the lead. A minute later Brady Elder tied the game for the 73’s. It was his first CCHL goal. Tyler Beauparlant and Joe McGrath picked up the assists. Kemptville scored the only goal of the second period. Elder picked up his second of the game, this time, on the power play. Jack R York and Beauparlant got the helpers. In the third, Matt Tugnutt extended the 73’s lead to 4-2, finishing off a great setup from Alavi. With just over five minutes remaining, Pembroke made it 4-3. With the Kings pulling out all the stops, Kemptville finished them off with an empty net goal by Alex Row with an assist to Tugnutt. Brady Elder was named the first star, while Peter Brooks got the nod for second star. This week, Kemptville plays two
games. On Friday, November 11, the team will be in Smiths Falls to take on the Bears. Game time is 7:30. The 73’s are back home on Sunday, November 13 for an afternoon game against the Cornwall Colts. Puck drop is at 2:00. There is some really good Junior A hockey being played in your own backyard. Two members of the 73’s alumni are now playing in the NHL. It would be a shame to miss these guys. Feel the heat! Catch 73s fever!
