phrebacka@metroland.com

The North Grenville Municipality’s vision for the renewal of the former Kemptville College campus as an educational community hub includes a focus on climate change adaptation, agricultural resiliency, and economic development opportunities. On Wednesday, Nov. 8, a joint statement was released from Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal and North Grenville Mayor David Gordon, announcing that after a lengthy period of consultation, deliberation and negotiation, they have reached an agreement in principal to see a large portion of the former Kemptville College campus purchased by the Municipality of North Grenville.

sity of Guelph announced that they would no longer be operating out of the college in March of 2014. “Around that time, the municipality expressed the desire to work towards finding an organization or another school that would operate,” said North Grenville CAO Brian Carré. “So, we created the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force, and started working on that.” During this period, Carré, Gordon, and members of North Grenville council were working with Leal and his staff to determine what a second life for Kemptville College might look like. Leal appointed a facilitator, former federal minister of Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland agriculture Lyle Vanclief, to assist in the transition and see what opportunities were practical for the former col- The Remembrance Day ceremony in Kemptville was held at the Kemptville Cenotaph on lege campus. “Vanclief conducted Prescott Street on Saturday, Nov. 11.

Heritage homes and modern construction come together with inspiring seasonal décor and a Canada 150 twist in this year’s annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, Dec. 2 and 3. This is the 12th year for the event, which is organized by and serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District chapter, a voluntary non-profit organization committed to human rights, promoting education and improving the status of women. Throughout the year, organizers have been busy lining up an incredible selection of eight homes for visitors to explore. Each home is paired up with an area decorator and florist who dream up a holiday design scheme tailored to the unique features of the spaces. “The homes are absolutely wonderful this year and with the amazing touches planned by our talented decorators and florists, they are sure to come alive with Christmas spirit and enchantment,” noted Donna Morrow, chair of the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. “Along with the décor, talented musicians will be playing in all the homes throughout the tour.” The house tour drew nearly 900 visitors from across eastern Ontario and parts of the United States, attracting those interested in local history, heritage conservation, home construction, restoration and seasonal decorating. This lineup fits in with the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, offering an Ontario blend of culture and heritage. There’s a 200-year-old home lovingly renovated over four years, a Victorian double brick home that’s been in the same family for three generations, as well as an 1858 rural stone home that’s been restored and remained in that family for more than six generations, just to name a few special stops on the tour. The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour serves as a fundraiser for

rior décor and updates have taken into account its history and charm. An original log home also remains on the property. North 44° Land Design Inc. will handle décor and exterior florals for this house and Gemmell’s Flowers Limited will be the interior florist. An original ‘workers’ cottage built in 1874 is found at the next stop, 22 Gore Street West in Perth. This property received an architecture heritage award for its exterior updates in 2013, while the interior boasts original flooring and a modern kitchen with a large family room. Eclectic international art mixes well with the owner’s creations. Designs by R will decorate the space and interior florals will be provided by The Floral Boutique. Hillside Gardens is the exterior florist. A new build on the foundation of a former house is at 14 Thom Street in Perth. Visitors will find a warm, See HERITAGE page 4

Since the tour’s inception, nearly $200,000 has been allocated in Lanark County. This year’s lineup First stop on the tour this year is the 200-yearold stone home found at 17604 Highway 7 in Tay Valley Township. Situated in a country farm setting, this house has been updated for modern living and includes plenty of windows and natural light. Other features include an Amish kitchen, multiple fireplaces and modern amenities paired with the original plaster ceiling in the living room, pine floors, antique doors and panels.

The 32nd annual Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program was launched Thursday, Nov. 9 at a variety of spots across the county, including the newly renovated Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. Above, from left: OPP Const. Greg Streng, OPP Const. Paige Whiting and library employee Karen Kiddy prepare to hang some tags on a tree.

Angel tree program kicks off 32nd year It’s year 32 and the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program continues to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year, the program is starting off with 560 angels and was launched Thursday, Nov. 9. The “angels” assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with Lanark County Child

and Family Services or other agencies connected with child and family services and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child. The Lanark County municipal offices of Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/ North Elmsley, Montague, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills, who have been with the program since the start are participating once again. We thank

those employees who continue to monitor the trees and assist with the dispersal of the angels into the communities.

Hay Design will serve as decorator for this house and Acanthus Floral & Botanicals will provide interior/exterior florals. The final stop is 9 Lewis Street in Perth, a Greek Revival-style workers cottage by the river. Built in 1900, the space is decorated with family heirlooms, antiques and Middle Eastern artifacts. It features original floors and features paired with modern updates. Providing décor and interior/exterior floral designs for this home will be Hidden Garden Floral Designs. “We have some wonderful local florists and decorators returning this year, as well as some new ones that I’m sure will continue to surprise and enchant,” Morrow commented. An extra feature on this year’s tour will be the addition of an antique sleigh in the front yard of the Miller heritage home, located on Highway 7, east of Perth. Crafted by the well-known sleigh manufacturer, Munro and McIntosh company of Alexandria, Ont., this particular model was used by the homeowner’s grandfather in the late 1800s. The owner plans to adorn the sleigh with sheepskin rugs and a Christmas tree

Introducing the directors of Mississippi Mudds’ ‘Anne of Green Gables – The Musical’ Both the book and musical of Anne of Green Gables hold a special place in our country’s collective heart and mind. But as this special Canada 150 year draws to a close, fans of the adventures of Anne, Gilbert, Mathew and Marilla don’t have to visit Prince Edward Island to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical because Carleton Place’s own Mississippi Mudds are launching a production of the beloved show at the Carleton Place Town Hall between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3. The play, which premiered in 1968, holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest, continually running musical and together with joyous, toe-tapping music and an engaging story, Anne is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The show’s co-directors (and kindred spirits in real life), Patti and Jon Lockhart, can’t wait to present this story that has means so much to them to local audiences. But we wondered who are the Lockharts and what attracted them to bring this musical to local audiences? In addition to their involvement with theatre, both have a strong connection to Prince Edward Island — Jon because that’s where his family is from, and Patti because she had a fascination with the character of Anne of Green Gables from a very early age. Jon spent every summer of his

childhood on his family’s farm on the island and says, "There was lots of ‘scope for the imagination’ for my siblings, cousins and I on our summer vacations exploring the island's famous red dirt roads and of course, eating lots of Cow’s ice cream." For Patti, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s book was an immediate hit from a very early age and Prince Edward Island quickly became a “must see” in terms of a vacation destination. "My fascination with this story didn't go unnoticed by my parents," said Patti. "Prince Edward Island was somewhere I really wanted to experience and so when I was 10, my mom and dad surprised me with a visit to P.E.I. was a dream come true to get to Cavendish and see all the places mentioned in the book and then of course, they took me to Charlottetown to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical. Nothing could have been more inspiring and magical for a little girl who loved everything about Anne. I remembered every bit of it for many years." In addition to her fascination with Anne, Patti was a “theatre kid” and was involved at an early age with her hometown of Bowmanville's local drama club. It was here that she fell in love with the “smell of the grease paint and the roar of the crowd,” which eventually led to her to pursue a theatre degree from the University of

Patti and Jon Lockhart are the directors of the Mississippi Mudds production of Anne of Green Gables - The Musical. Ottawa. She’s had roles both onstage and backstage in live theatre since graduating. After moving to Almonte with Jon and their two children, six years ago, she found herself auditioning for the Mudds' production of Noises Off. Audiences will remember her other comedic turns in Fox on the Fairway and last year's Mary Poppins. Jon Lockhart is no stranger to Ottawa's theatre scene either. His path to the theatre world began through

busking with a high school friend and forming the popular act The Cow Guys. For more than 20 years, he has performed everywhere from Parliament Hill to Belgium, to the Maritimes, to Singapore. Jon has a master's degree in theatre from the University of Toronto and is now the technical director of Ottawa University’s theatre department. He works on a large range of shows each year as well as teaching technical theatre courses. Everyone involved with the show has been busy with rehearsals, memorizing lines and getting the songs just right over the last few months. Singing, acting and dancing across the stage is one of the most talented casts the Mudds has ever seen. "We think audiences are going to be blown away by the young cast — they're truly exceptional," said Jon. "Some have grown up with the Mudds and will be familiar to our audiences, like Callum Leroy, who plays Gilbert, and then there are those making their stage debuts as a Mudd, like Cameron Hunter, who plays Anne. So the energy levels are pretty high right now." “And of course, alongside this bunch of bubbling, energetic youth are a strong, spirited and talented group of veteran actors and singers like Chris Jones, who plays Matthew, and Michele Eno, who plays Marilla, who will be familiar to Mudds audiences. Together, they make one pow-

erhouse cast that will be sure to blow you away," added Patti. The Mudds' production of Anne of Green Gables — The Musical is the perfect way for people of all ages to complete a busy year of sesquicentennial celebrations. In this day and age of stress and turmoil, the musical offers audiences a fun and delightful escape. "We're so proud to be working alongside this fantastic cast and crew and excited too as our kids are following in their parents' footsteps. So we’ll be watching every performance not only with our directors' hats on, but with our proud parent hats' too," said Patti. "And if you haven't read the book, seen the TV series or movie ... that's OK. You'll be immediately drawn into the rich story and characters created at the turn of the 20th century by Lucy Maud Montgomery," added Jon. Anne's innocent world of beauty and imagination will be brought to life for audiences between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Make plans to bring your family, bosom chums and kindred spirits for two hours of imagination, smiles and song. Tickets are available at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce visitor centre (170 Bridge St., 613-257-1976. Submitted by Lori Kay, Mississippi Mudds

The program is delivered by Enbridge Gas Distribution, in partnership with the government of Ontario, Save ON Energy and Green Communities Canada (GCC). Local organization Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) is an approved service organization of the GCC and is local residents’ entry point into the program. REAL serves the region of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, as well as parts of Frontenac, with this energy program. To qualify, you must have an energy audit completed by a registered energy adviser (REA), complete at least two energy upgrades and save 15 per cent or more of your energy use. These upgrades can be improvements such as insulation, air sealing and heating equipment replacement. Your REA will complete a comprehensive energy audit of your home and send you a report with recommendations of what will give you the most energy savings and what will qualify for the incentive grants. In addition to a complete report on the efficiency of your house, you will be given your home’s official Natural Resources Canada EnerGuide for Houses energy efficiency rating. When you have completed the energy upgrades to your home, the adviser will return to do a short confirmation audit of the upgrades completed, as well as all paperwork and submissions for your incentive grant. If your house was built earlier than 1985 and hasn’t had many energy upgrades, you may be able to achieve the required 15 per cent energy savings and possibly much

more. You will save on your energy bills, reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and be rewarded with a very nice incentive grant. Homes built after 1985 can usually benefit from energy efficiency measures as well, but due to improvements in the building code and home construction, they may not be able to reach the 15 per cent mark.

Our energy adviser can guide you on whether you will likely accomplish the necessary savings before an appointment is booked. To find out more about the Home Energy Conservation Program, see enbridgesmartsavings.com or drop by the REAL Deal Store to pick up a brochure. If you have further questions or wish to arrange an audit,

Salute young role models

t’s a way of acknowledging and giving credit to children and teenagers who are making a difference and are going above and beyond what society would expect from someone that age. Youngsters who raise money for a cause or who selflessly volunteer their time to help other people in the community are examples of the positive contributions that are worth celebrating. The Ontario Junior Citizen Award is once again seeking nominations for the annual youth recognition program. Ontario residents between the ages of six and 17 are eligible. There are several areas to which the provincial award applies; they include community service, acts of heroism, contributing to community while living with physical or psychological limitations, excelling in the arts or athletics and so-called “good kids” who are making life better for others. These deserving young people serve

as role models to their peers and also set an example from which many adults could learn. Up to 12 nominees from across the province will be selected, and the award recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park next spring. Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition in the new year. Nomination forms are available at ocna.org/juniorcitizen. Supporting documentation, that includes at least two testimonials from individuals other than the nominator, are required. The nomination must also include the consent of a nominee’s parent or guardian, and the deadline for 2017 submissions is Nov. 30. The junior citizen awards program dates back to the early 1980s and is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association, to which we belong. The awards are sponsored by TD Bank Group.

Much work was done to keep log house warm during long winter months Watching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard. The long underwear and navy blue fleece-lined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore at other times in the year. But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long Renfrew county winters. First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged un-

derwear no longer fit to wear, or wool socks beyond repair, and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas, framed in every colour in the rainbow. Our bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together to cover our feather mattresses and separate us from the tickings on top. They came from Eaton’s catalogue, and apart from their warmth, I loved the wide co-

before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds to take away the chill that never seemed to leave the upstairs of our old log house. Sometime through the night, and I could never

catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked at the stair step to be taken back down to the

kitchen. And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off. See MARY page 10

Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel.

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set to present the classic, A Christmas Story. Above, the cast gathers for a group photo. In front, from left: Cain Elliott, Hunter Rigby, Anthony Nelson and James Graham. Second row, from left: Jerry Logan, Maeve Elliott (standing), Sam Brown, Addison Brown and Carell Allen. Standing far right is Deborah Ward. Missing is character actor Grey Masson.

Studio Theatre brings beloved classic A Christmas Story to life Nov. 30 to Dec. 10 Try this: Mention A Christmas Story to a few friends, then stand back and watch the reaction. Guaranteed, eyes will widen, smiles will appear, and you’ll hear “I love that show!!” For millions of people, a holiday viewing of A Christmas Story is a family tradition. There’s actually an American TV network that has been airing “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” – that’s 12 consecutive showings of the film – each Christmas since 1997. So what is it about this story of Ralphie and his yearning for a Red Ryder BB gun (you know, “the Carbine Action one, the 200-shot model with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time”) that strikes such a cord? It’s a simple story about dreams, those special Christmas dreams we all had as kids, so timeless, so charming, and so beautifully rendered by the story’s creator, Jean Shepherd. Just in time for this year’s Christmas dreams, the stage version of A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre on Nov. 30, adapted by Philip Grecian from Jean Shepherd’s enduring stories about his Midwest childhood. Patricia Parry, director of the Studio Theatre’s production, has seen the way people react to this muchloved story, and she’s thrilled to be able to bring it to Perth. “I’ve met so many people who watch the movie year after year, and know the story of Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB gun inside and out” she says. “The play is very faithful to the film; when Philip Grecian adapted Jean

Shepherd’s story for the stage he knew he had to retain all the things people love about it. His script is simply wonderful.” Don’t think for a moment that if you’re not familiar with the movie you won’t enjoy the play. This is a story that anyone who was a kid will relate to: Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun so badly he can taste it. And although everybody – his parents, his teacher, and even the department store Santa Claus – has told him he’ll “put his eye out with that thing” he hopes against hope that he’ll find it under the tree on Christmas morning. Will his dream come true? We can’t help wishing fervently, for Ralphie’s sake, that it will. Along the way there are schoolyard bullies, pink bunny suits, family squabbles, finicky furnaces, dog-scarfed turkeys, and all the makings of a well-rounded, family friendly comedy, culminating in, you bet, a happy ending. Director Parry has assembled a great cast to tell this beloved story, with ages ranging from four to the 60s. Sam Brown plays young Ralphie, Carell Allen is his mother, and veteran character actor Grey Masson plays grown up Ralph. Well-known local actor Jerry Logan plays “The Old Man” (young Ralphie’s father), and Deb Ward is Miss Shields, Ralphie’s teacher. Jamie Graham plays Schwartz, Hunter Rigby is Flick, Addison Brown is Helen, Maeve Elliot plays Esther Jane, and Caine Elliot and Anthony Nelson share the role of Randy, Ralphie’s

younger brother. Lots of young talent eager to bring a great story to the stage, in a play that everyone will enjoy. Behind the scenes, Penny Silberhorn is stage manager, ably assisted by Annie Mulligan; Reiner Silberhorn is set designer and builder; Paula Batt handles props, Mike Ward, lighting, Julia Egener is the show’s costumer, and Isabel Joyce is the producer. A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre Nov. 30 for seven performances, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. (Please note: For this production, both Saturday shows (Dec. 2 and 9) are 2 p.m. matinees only.) Advance tickets are $24, and are now available exclusively at Tickets Please in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 4856434; ticketsplease.ca) which accepts in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the Studio Theatre box office on show nights. There is a special children’s advance ticket price of just $10 for kids under 12. Rush tickets for students with ID are just $10 at the door, subject to availability. Attend opening night and save $5. Remember Perth’s Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Dec. 2 starting at 5 p.m.! If you’re already a fan of A Christmas Story, you’ll enjoy the Studio Theatre’s fresh take on a classic. Visit studiotheatreperth.com for full details. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

OPP cautions motorists – don’t veer for deer In an effort to minimize the chances of being involved in a collision with deer, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are offering motorists the following tips: • Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. Remember – deer seldom run alone. If you see one deer,

A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen. The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre. With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only two pieces of felt held together with blanketstitching, but helped a little to keep our feet warm. But when we sat around the old pine table

others may be nearby. • When driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. • Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. • Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane.

• Always wear your seat belt. Most people who are injured in car-deer collisions were not wearing their seat belt. • Don’t rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. • Slow down, stay in control and stay alert. Submitted by the OPP

at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well. Father, of course, never complained about the cold house. At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit socks from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash. When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it in-

I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the long and bitterly cold winters of Renfrew County.

LETTER

From page 8

This is a good question. The answer is that throughout the entire span of the Harper government, I was the Deputy Leader of the government in the House of Commons (usually called “Deputy House

Leader”). All members of the House leadership team (Whip, Deputy Whip, House Leader, Deputy House Leader) are expected, as a condition of the job, to vote with the government on all items of government-initiated business.

I know of no exceptions to this practice at any point in the history of Canada or of any other Commonwealth parliament. Scott Reid MP Lanark-FrontenacKingston

MANAGING YOUR MONEY November 27, 2017

Financial planning for the modern family It was once a given that spouses would retire at around the same time. Couples would then set off for months of travel or could at least spend more time together. Having two people retire at the same time also simplified financial planning – advisors could factor in two pensions, tax plan around the withdrawals of two RRSPs and more.

own. They’re also providing support and caregiving for James’ elderly parents and the couple will likely need to do the same for Rachel’s parents in the years to come.

Now, though, many people are marrying spouses who are much younger than them. One might be nearly ready for retirement while the other still has two decades to go. That can complicate a couple’s financial picture, says Jane Olshewski, Manager of Financial Planning Programs for Investors Group: “There are so many more things to consider. For instance, they’ll need help figuring out how much to save for their respective retirements. If they choose to stop working at the same time, they will need a considerable nest egg to fund the younger spouses’ golden years. If one spouse keeps working, the one who retires may not need to withdraw as much from their RRSP or RRIF.”

In addition to financial issues, age-diverse couples have decisions to make about life planning issues. “Should couples in this situation retire at the same time?” asks Olshewski. “A younger spouse may want to retire and spend some time with the older spouse and do all the things that couples enjoy in retirement while both are still healthy. But the younger spouse may feel they have more to accomplish in their career and aren’t ready for retirement at an earlier age.”

Children from previous marriages can also add complications. If you want to leave an inheritance to your children, you may need to do some more intensive estate planning to ensure you’re not disinheriting them by leaving your assets to your younger spouse. Those are just a couple of retirement planning dilemmas facing couples with significant age gaps -- and there are others. Calgary’s Rachel Johnson, 45 and James Matias, 66 have six children between them – three from Matias’ first marriage and three of their

As well, because Matias is so much older, Johnson may be required to provide support and care for an aging husband down the road.

“Each couple must look at their specific situation and decide on a life plan that works for them,” says Olshewski. “And be supported by a financial plan that will get them where they want to go – together.” Regardless of your age, your professional advisor can help make that happen – for you and your partner.

Learn how a couple’s love for Italy led to tour company startup Nov. 20 in Perth Following one’s heart can be a risky business. Fortunately, the instincts of Canadians Lisa Grassi-Blais and Jake Rupert led them joyfully to a world of spectacular mountains, fantastic beaches, verdant valleys, High Plains, and seemingly endless olive groves and vineyards. The couple will be in Perth on Nov. 20 to describe their transformation from careertrack professionals in Ottawa, to inn and tour company owners in central Italy. Family ties to the Abruzzo region of Italy were a strong factor in their decision to relocate. Lisa’s grandfather had immigrated to Canada in 1906 from the village of San Sebastiano and they’d been able to connect with numerous relatives during visits to the region. The Abruzzese people they met were invariably friendly, funloving and ready to be helpful and the region was stunningly beautiful. Lisa and Jake were tourists during their early trips to Italy, but over time the idea of immigrating and setting up a tourism business began to

take hold. Once they had the mindset of prospective property owners, the real work began — developing a startup budget, researching villas for sale, looking at tax implications, getting pension questions answered, examining immigration rules, and having their Ottawa house appraised. They had a budget of roughly $300,000 with which to establish a tour company based in a villa that would provide weeklong vacations to small groups of six to eight guests. The budget included any needed renovations, furniture, and vehicles. The couple eventually bought a rundown, partially renovated villa that “oozed Italian charm,” which they restored over five years to serve as inn and anchor for their tour company. Historic Villa D'Abruzzo has six bathrooms, a huge dining room, lots of outdoor space, an extra kitchen, and great views. The property is located on the outskirts of Torre de Passeri, a town in the heart of the Pescara Valley, 10 minutes from the moun-

tains, 30 minutes from the Adriatic Coast and 90 minutes east of Rome. Amazing Abruzzo Tours has now been in operation since April 2016, offering a range of services from simple bed and breakfast accommodations to weeklong, allinclusive packages that include all transportation, accommodation, meals, and day trips. Details and a sample tour can be found at http://www.amazingabruzzotours.com/options/. As we Canadians ease into winter, it’s hard not to be smitten by this tale of sundrenched adventure. Please join us on Monday, Nov. 20 at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E., Perth, Ont. K7H 1B5), starting promptly at 7 p.m., to hear Lisa and Jake’s account of their bold move to Italy. The talk is free, presented by the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW).

Forgotten First World War battle memorialized in Mountain On Saturday my wife and I were among the large crowd that attended Remembrance Day ceremonies in Carleton Place, where we live. I have strong personal feelings about the importance of Nov. 11. I never miss the annual opportunity to pay respects to our veterans and especially those who gave their lives fighting for Canada. I was impressed by the size of the crowd. Weekends are sometimes more challenging in terms of attracting people because school classes, who usually attend in large numbers, are not represented on weekends. However it seems more and more families are focused on Remembrance Day now and that’s a very good thing. This is certainly not the first time I have expressed my opinion on this related subject. But this week I want to reiterate that I do not support the idea of making Remembrance Day a national holiday in Canada. The word “holiday” should not be attached to such a solemn occasion. I’m concerned that far too many people would suddenly view this very important day as simply another day off. I realize that my own strong interest in this subject – in the wars of the 20th century in particular – isn’t on most people’s radar. I would obviously like to see that change. To me the best way forward is to make the teaching of Canada’s important war history a compulsory subject in

our schools. That aside I will continue to do my small part by spotlighting certain battles and Canada’s part in them. We are now in the final year of the First World War Centennial. The war began July 28, 1914 and ended with the armistice on Nov. 11, 1918. That means Remembrance Day 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the armistice, which elevates the importance of that particular day. With respect to Canada’s involvement in the First World War, have you ever heard of the Battle of Hill 70? I think you can be forgiven if you haven’t. Until recently I was only somewhat familiar with the First World War battle which, on closer examination, was very important in Canada’s military history. The fighting which occurred 100 years ago this summer marked the first time the Canadian Corps was under the sole direction of a Canadian commander, Lieutenant General Arthur Currie, in a Canadian-planned mission. Like many Great War battles you need a topographic map to find exactly where Hill 70 is located. The number denotes the hill’s height above sea level. The location is on the edge of the city of Lens in northern France. From Aug. 15-25, 1917 it was the scene of bloody fighting between four divisions of the attacking Canadian Corps and five divisions of the

Reflections By Jeff maguire

German 6th Army. The Germans occupied the strategic hill and the town itself. Major casualties The Canadians were successful, not only in seizing the hill but also in defending it against not one, but 21, determined German counterattacks. The fighting cost Canadian troops nearly 9,000 casualties including 1,877 dead. The Germans suffered a staggering 25,000 casualties. Six Canadian soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross (the British Empire’s highest military award) for their actions on Hill 70. This battle happened after the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge in April 1917. Vimy and the bloody engagement at Passchendaele in Belgium (Third Battle of Ypres), which also occurred in 1917, overshadowed the significant fighting on Hill 70 the same year. Last week, in the lead-up to Remembrance Day, I found myself at

the only Canadian monument to the Battle of Hill 70. Until this year it was the only memorial in the world to the conflict. No, the monument isn’t in Ottawa (Canada’s capital) as you might expect. And it isn’t in one of our country’s three largest cities Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver either. Rather the memorial is located in a small community park in the hamlet of Mountain in southeastern Ontario. My brother Randy and his wife own and operate an orchard near Carp. A week ago Monday I accompanied my brother to an orchard in tiny Dundela in South Dundas Township where he had some business to do. Dundela is the birthplace of the famous McIntosh apple. On the way home I noticed signage pointing to the Hill 70 memorial which we dutifully followed. To our surprise we found an impressive tribute to those who fought and died during this often forgotten battle. The site has evolved over the years but planning for the park began in 1922 and a symbolic Hill 70 mound was officially dedicated 92 years ago this month, on Nov. 12, 1925. The site was expanded and reworked by the local Lions Club in 2012 with major financial assistance from the then Harper government. Over the course of a century

Mountain’s exact connection to the Battle of Hill 70 has been lost. It’s believed to be related to the fact that soldiers from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry were killed or wounded during the fighting, something which had a major impact on Mountain and other surrounding communities. What is known is that for nearly 92 years the memorial in the community park was the only one of its kind anywhere. On April 8 this year, one day before the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and four months prior to the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial, then Governor General David Johnston presided at the unveiling of a new monument at the actual site of the fighting in northern France. Finally this major battle is receiving more recognition. Still, it’s the people of tiny Mountain, Ontario and the larger community of North Dundas Township who deserve the most credit. On Aug. 27, in their memorial park, the residents of the community held a ceremony to mark the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial. Over the course of a century they have ensured the sacrifice made by 8,677 Canadians who were killed, wounded or went missing during the fighting aren’t forgotten.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Time has been passing quite rapidly, Cancer. You may be feeling like you aren’t quite catching up to the clock. As long as some work is getting finished, you are completely fine.

DEATH NOTICE

Joyce Elaine Connerty

1930-2017 Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelso Clark of Smiths Falls welcomed their seventh baby on August 6, 1930. Overjoyed, they would name her “Joyce Elaine”. Joyce followed the births of Doreen, William, Arnold, Bert, Jack, and Howard, all born when the family lived in Reid’s Mills, Ontario. (Bert and Jack passed away in early childhood as a result of the pneumonia they developed after falling down the well, together.) Reid’s Mills was the Clark family homestead, where they lived at the farm known as Killarney. Her mother was the sole heir of the Reality business created by her Smiths Falls real estate developer father, Alexander Stephens. As a result of his death, the Clark families’ new home was built at 103 William Street West. Joyce was born into a home that had two working parents. Her Father, “J.K.”, would continue his profession by being a gentleman farmer while managing the crew that maintained the Reality Business. With help from a foster child Ivy, Doreen and “Bill” would actively participate in the care of Joyce in childhood. Doreen, sixteen years older, would take Joyce to visit J.K.’s sister, Aunt Millie, out West when Joyce was six to visit and tour Vancouver. Joyce would always love to shop through magazine ads and newspapers, Canadian and American catalogues, and even late in life, on the Internet. Even as a young child, she had a keen sense of creativity using colour and fashion to demonstrate her personality and a love of stores! Joyce would attend Smiths Falls public schools, but it was in Grade Nine, at the former Rideau High School, that she blossomed. Always a very attractive raven haired “beauty” - and she would object to that description all her life - she was popular among students. She dated a couple of classmates before developing her first long term relationship with fellow student Jim Dolan. The Clark family cottage, Hi Ho, was a much loved retreat from the business world the Clark family engaged in in Smiths Falls. She would also spend quality time in the Trinity United Church, where among other things she would advance her leadership skills in the Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT). Working part time jobs in sales and totally delighted by the work at the Gemmell’s family Greenhouse, Joyce would indulge (forever!) in decorating with PINK FLOWERS. Her love of swimming would take her to being the town’s first lifeguard. But perhaps by spending too much time in social activities, Joyce would repeat Grade Thirteen at a finishing school, the Ontario Ladies College at Whitby. Joyce would follow the excellent example her Aunt Olive Clark had set when she had graduated Queen’s University in 1906. (Doreen and Ivy we’re also exposed to post secondary education). Joyce wanted to follow her Aunt and Mother to the teachers’ college at the University of Toronto. Joyce actually had started the teaching profession by regularly lining up her dolls and providing to them the lessons she had learned from early childhood. She wanted to teach high school, which required a degree. Therefore Joyce earned her Bachelor of Arts degree 1953 in English and Spanish from Queen’s University. Not at her funeral, was her beloved husband William Carlyle Connerty, Queen’s Bachelor of Applied Science, 1954. “Big Bill” had passed on March 25, 1990. They had met at Queen’s, and Bill proposed on their first date in 1950. The ensuing romance would take in two of the famous Queen’s Science Formals! Joyce would graduate and with her Teaching Certificate, would accept her first teaching job at Fisher Park High School in Ottawa; Bill would manage his third generation agricultural business in Jasper, named after the founder, Wm. Connerty and Son. Joyce would board in Ottawa for a year and begin following the career of then Fisher Park student Paul Anka. Returning to Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, SFDCI, Joyce would teach the senior students English until her marriage to Bill, on June 29, 1957. At her wedding, ladies, wearing white, with pink Swiss Dot overlay, stood up for her. They included Maiden of Honour Eilene Gardner, lifelong friend Barb Hogg (Fraser), sister-in-law Willa Clark (Wood) and Arnold and Jean (Christie’s) daughters Jane and Elizabeth Clark. The couple went on a lovely two week Honeymoon trip to the Maritimes. They spent the rest of the summer months with Bill’s Mother, Jasper business woman Mable Connerty, at the family cottage at the Upper Rideau Ferry. Bill and Joyce would occupy the two story boathouse, a tradition that includes children and grandchildren to this day. Their life long romance continued with love of water, cottage and boats and all of this was more than installed in the future generations. Joyce and Bill would start their family the following April, with the birth of Tricia. Within the next year, they would anticipate the birth of Sue, in January 1960, by building their growing family’s home on Frost St., in Smiths Falls. Beautifully decorated, their home was filled with love, pets and fun! After the fire at the Connerty family’s Jasper Purina Mill in 1961 the young family would rally around their Dad as he built a new business in Fiber Glass tanks, Industrial Moulders. Joyce would return to teaching English at SFDCI, in 1962. “Little Bill” was born in 1963, followed by Betsy in 1965, with Joyce returning to teaching each time after a maternity leave. (This was all accomplished by her very competent management of the household alongside housekeeper Lydia Cline.) Significantly, Joyce would twice overcome disability leaves for the care of mental illness, while teaching with grace and matter of fact honesty. With the death of her Mom in 1972, Joyce would manage her share of the Clark family’s business and name her company Stephen’s Reality. With two family businesses in the household, teaching and lots of kids’ activities to manage, Joyce was busy until her retirement from the Lanark County Board of Education in 1985. Joyce had opted for early retirement to be able to work alongside her husband as Industrial Moulders and Stephen’s Reality morphed into Zontec Ltd. Zontec was a cutting edge ozone company dealing with the treatment of air and water with ozone technology. Retirement also brought the marriages of their children, Bill to Lynda Condie, and Betsy to Chris Simpson, in 1989. Unfortunately Big Bill’s life did not extend to the birth of Grandchildren. But Joyce excelled in her role as “Mom Mom” to Kenzie, Keisha and Teagan Simpson and Charlie and Harry Connerty. She was always more than willing to accommodate any request of her growing family, be it babysitting or that special Christmas toy. Her own children would all pursue Professional Post Education Programs and engage in challenging careers. Not surprising, her five Grandchildren are all in the process of gaining a Professional Post Education degree. Joyce passed away as she wanted: at home, with family, and not before she was ready. Just two days before her death she had informed her family that she was tired and ready to go to heaven. God was ready for her the morning of July 21, 2017. Joyce was waked at Blair and Son Funeral Home and interred at Wolford Cemetery in Easton’s Corners, at the family plot, alongside her husband and his family. Her Grandchildren carried the casket. Honourary Pallbearers included former students Hugh Colton and Brian Conlin, and family friends Billy Andress, Stirling Condie, Bob McCreary, and Jim Rowat. United Church Minister Christine Lowson kindly conducted a touching service, which included fond farewell speeches by Lynda Connerty, Leslie Row, Bill Connerty, Betsy Simpson and Rev. Doug Ross. A reception for family and friends followed back at Blair and Son Reception Centre. Joyce’s wish for pink flowers at her wake and charitable donations to her family’s challenges with Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Arthritis, had been generously supported by the many whom had remembered her. She had passed days short of her 87th birthday and is terribly missed by her family. Mom Mom was always a LADY.

WILSON, Helen

May 11, 1926 - November 9, 2017 Unexpectedly, the evening of November 9th, after a long battle with many health issues, our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend Helen Wilson passed away. She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones. Her loved ones that have gone before her include: the late Melvin Baxter (brother), the late Henry & Maxine Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Ownie & Bubbles Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Florence and Lloyd Baxter (sister & brother-in-law), the late Steve Orr (son-in-law), and the late Claudette Wilson (daughter-in-law). Helen was the daughter of Annie and Thomas Baxter of Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She was an exceptional woman with a heart for her family, a dignity and grace that is rare, and the strength, wisdom, fortitude, kindness and caring of a true Matriarch. Friends may join the family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior (613-623-5194) on Tuesday evening, November 14th from 6 to 7:45 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock.

You fell asleep without saying goodbye, but our memories of you will never die. We miss you more than anyone knows, as each day passes our emptiness grows. The tears we shed will wipe away, but the ache in our hearts will always stay. You left us quietly, your thoughts unknown, with treasured memories we’re proud to own. Life on the farm has changed for us as you know, but we will keep the legacy of your love alive and grow. Always loved Lyle, Carrie, Thomas, Dyllan and Owen

100 Men Who Care North Grenville raises $3,600 for Rideau Hill Camp by Paulina Hrebacka

phrebacka@metroland.com

Margaret Mead once said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” North Grenville is one small, yet supportive community, and because of that, a common suggestion is the need for collaboration. Groups like 100 Men Who Care are built in order to make that kind of support and collaboration possible. At their very first donation night, 100 Men Who Care met Nov. 7 at the South Branch Bistro in Kemptville to take in three presentations from local charitable organizations. Thirty-six men were in attendance, each providing $100 to the donation pool, which would be given to the winning organization of the group’s vote. “Our mission is simple: make a direct, immediate, and positive impact on the lives of our neighbours,” said steering committee member Jamie Beavis. “100 Men Who Care North Grenville has grown to 40 committed members by word of mouth, newspaper articles and Facebook. We’re a diverse group of men from different socio-economic backgrounds, including a wide range of ages. However, we all have one thing in common: we’re committed to making a difference in our community.” 100 Men Who Care held their first planning session on June 23, which was attended by six men who accepted the invitation to learn more about the program. “Everyone agreed on the next meeting date of Sept. 12 and committed to bringing at least one friend,”

The first 100 Men Who Care North Grenville donation night was held on Nov. 7 at the South Branch Bistro in Kemptville, right. Above, from left: Chris Cathcart, Graeme Allan and Jamie Beavis, who make up the steering committee. Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland

said Beavis. The second meeting was attended by 13 men, and the basic rules of the program were discussed: a meeting would be held every three months, at which each member will make a $100 donation, and three local charities will deliver presentations for the group’s consideration. After that, the group will conduct a vote to see which charity will receive the collective donation, and the cheque will be presented at the next quarterly meeting. At this time, Jamie Beavis, Chris Cathcart and Graeme Allan were also selected as the

steering committee for 100 Men Who Care. “On Oct. 6, members voted electronically to select the three charities that would present to the group at our Nov. 7 meeting,” said Beavis. The selected charities were Rideau Hill Camp, Kemptville & District Home Support, and the Kemptville Youth Centre. At their Nov. 7 meeting, the group nearly filled the South Branch Bistro, but they were eager to recruit more members, fast. “Next meeting, everyone should bring at least two friends!”

shouted one member. Following the presentations from the three local charities, the group conducted a vote which yielded very close results, with each charity only one vote over the last. Rideau Hill Camp in Kemptville was the winner of the vote, and will be presented with a cheque for $3,600 at the beginning of the group's next meeting on Feb. 6. One of the earliest members of the group is Kemptville resident Justin Rice, who operates an insurance business in Merrickville. Rice recognizes the need for this kind of group in our community and believes collaboration is the key. “As a member of 100 Men Who Care, I get more traction on local community groups that I wouldn’t have known about prior to joining, and it also encourages many voices to speak as one,” he said. “If I made a donation to any one of these charities by myself, it would be great … but when this group gets together, my donation is multiplied, and we can affect a real, significant difference in our community. That’s really what drew me to the group — we can accomplish things together that I wouldn’t be able to do by myself.” The group’s next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 6. To learn more about 100 Men Who Care North Grenville, contact 100MenWhoCareNG@gmail.com or visit the group’s Facebook page at Facebook. com/100MenWhoCareNG. “There is a lot of unseen poverty and issues that need our attention, even in our community,” said Rice, “and this group is really going to be able to make a difference.”

St. Michael’s 18th annual Christmas Craft Show to feature record number of vendors by Paulina Hrebacka

phrebacka@metroland.com

The annual Christmas Craft Show at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville has become one of the biggest in eastern Ontario. This year, nearly 200 vendors will be participating, making it the largest craft show that the high school has hosted to date. The event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.at the high school at 2755 Hwy. 43. “Our craft show provides an opportunity for our school and local community members to come together as we prepare for the Christmas season," said St. Michael Catholic High School principal Dawn Finnegan. "It inspires a generous spirit and also raises funds to enhance student opportunities at St. Michael's. We are grateful to the parent members of our Catholic School Council who put in countless hours to make this event a success.” Crafters, artists, jewellers, bakers, woodworkers, soap smiths and more will offer a wide variety of unique homemade gifts to help you find something for everyone on your Christmas list. For the last 5 years, the show has been organized by Kemptville resident Charmaine Crockett. "This has become so much more than a fundraiser for the high

We are so very proud of our student volunteers and our talented vendors.” Crockett is looking forward to some of the new activities that will be featured at the craft show this year. “You can select from a variety of delicious snacks or a full lunch in our food court, visit with Santa, get your family Christmas photos taken and be entertained by highland dancing

shows accompanied by bagpipes. It's the perfect way to kick off the festive season!" For those who would like to meet Santa Claus and have their photo taken with him, he will be on site from 12:30 to 3 p.m. handing out candy canes. There will also be a photo booth on site for family portraits. The Christmas Craft Show has nearly tripled in size since 2014, and the entire event is run by student and parent volunteers. “One of our

best features is our student ambassadors, who help vendors with setup and takedown and offer them help throughout the day,” said Crockett. Due to its popularity and overwhelming demand by vendors wanting to participate, the show usually sells out of vendor spaces within the first few days of planning and prompts a lengthy wait-list. “We’ve been expanding the show for the past few years to accommodate this demand, and this year, we were able to make even more space. We now have about 200 vendors filling every available space on the ground floor and still receive requests from vendors daily.” Crockett also sets space aside for local charities and school clubs at the show. Due to the expansion, Crockett anticipates 1,500 visitors this year, which would top last year’s record of more than 1,300. “A couple of years ago, we realized that some visitors were staying for many hours at a time, so we established a food court,” said Crockett. “All of our food-related vendors will be located in the cafeteria offering snacks and lunch offerings, including shawarmas, sandwiches, soup and delicious baked goods. Coffee will be available from Kemptville's own Brewed Awakenings.” Another exciting feature at this year’s event is the Craft Show Passport Map. Upon arrival, guests will

receive a map, and are encouraged to collect stamps from participating passport stations as they tour through the show. If they participate, they may be entered in the door prize draw for prizes such as Visa gift cards and dining certificates. As for entertainment, two Highland Dance shows from Andrea Goral School of Highland Dancing will be held at 10:30 a.m. and again at 12 p.m., accommodated by bagpipes on the stage in the cafeteria. “Our generous sponsors include KBC Rona and Kemptville Interiors, who donated a $200 Visa gift card; Beth Bonvie of Royal Lepage Real Estate, covering Santa's travel costs from the North Pole and candy canes; Shoeless Joe's Kemptville for donating the dining certificate; and Staples in Kemptville for printing all of our show materials, including signage and passports. These are all repeat sponsors dedicated to this community event,” said Crockett. “We are always looking for other sponsors for our other Visa gift cards, and we welcome their ideas for great passport prizes!” There is a $2 admission to the craft show, and the school council at St. Michael Catholic High School directs all proceeds to support students and their activities.

public consultations, meetings, and the whole gamut,” said Carré. “His recommendation at the end of the day was to work directly with the municipality.” Leal then appointed a working group to determine if there were post-secondary institutions that might be interested in offering programs out of Kemptville College. At the conclusion of that work, there were no early adopters found. The municipality partnered with a number of regional stakeholders and produced a proposal to establish the Kemptville Centre for Rural Advancement, a report which outlined a vision for what a renewed Kemptville College could become. A statement in that report reads, “Kemptville College will be transformed into a multi-tenant campus offering research, education, training and economic development opportunities to various strategic, collaborative partners, as well as opportunities to deliver regional and provincial health and wellness services.” “We then submitted the BDO Feasibility Study, which was basically us taking our proposal through the Vanclief process, and using an accounting firm to validate that our idea was feasible,” said Carré. “It was then determined, in May of 2016, that negotiations to acquire the campus would begin.” According to Carré, the negotiation process was accelerated by a meeting that he and Gordon had with Leal this past summer in Peterborough. “That really got the negotiations moving much quicker, and then the announcement was made.” A new Kemptville College for Christmas As it stands, the municipality has not yet purchased any of the former Kemptville College campus. A tentative “agreement in principle” is in place until an official agreement of purchase and sale is signed, which the municipality is optimistic will happen before Christmas. “We’ve come up with some conditions that we want in putting a deal together,” said Carré. “The next step is to put it all in a legal document before it can be a done deal, and that’s what we’re working towards. I hope to have that done prior to Christmas, because we have a 90-day period to complete our due diligence after the agreement of purchase and sale is signed.” The new Kemptville College will be a community hub, focused on climate change adaptation, low carbon innovation, and agricultural resiliency. The agreement in principle allots 633 acres of the campus, including the Ryan’s Well

replica well, the agroforestry centre, the trails system, all of the greenhouses, and all of the buildings on campus, including teaching and administrative buildings and the government offices, such as Service Ontario, MNR, and OMAFRA. “We’re bringing Kemptville College back to Kemptville, where it should be,” said Gordon. “We had a vision, and we moved forward with that vision. It’s an exciting time for North Grenville.” “The campus has many resources which can be easily utilized for agricultural education and training, such as the forestry and greenhouses,” continued Carré, “and then there’s the health and wellness aspect, which is associated to agriculture as well. People who suffer with PTSD, for example, can practice things like garden therapy which is now widely recognized as a wellness program for people suffering from that disorder. We have enough greenhouse space for gardening all year-round.” In terms of economic development, the municipality wants to see people who are innovative, with a unique approach to business utilizing the resources and doing their work at the college. “For example, an incubator-type approach to a business where they’re bringing something unique to the agricultural process that allows a farmer to be more resilient as a result of climate change – well, let’s promote it here. Let’s showcase it here – we have 633 acres of land to do it,” said Carré. Carré is confident that no major renovations will be required to restore the campus buildings to working condition. “We’ve done our due diligence, and there’s still more to do, but we commissioned a firm to look at all of the underground infrastructure, and yes there are some deficiencies there, but the University of Guelph has done some significant improvements,” he stated. “I don’t anticipate any major expenses being required to operate the community hub, to start it off. There will be some, but nothing too major.” Bringing jobs back One of the many exciting aspects of the revival of Kemptville College is the promise of new jobs in North Grenville. “When they announced the closure, we lost a steady number of jobs,” said Carré, “and part of our intention behind this project was to bring those jobs back. With the school boards that are now very well-entrenched on that campus, we’ve brought some of those jobs back, and those people spend in our community. We acknowledge that the negotiation process was slow, but in that time, we spoke with many, many people and organizations. The future certainly

looks much brighter with that property in our ownership as opposed to the private sector.” In looking at potential tenants to share the campus buildings and land with, the municipality has been in talks with local organizations such as the Ferguson Forestry Centre and the Kemptville District Hospital, as well as others out of Ottawa. “We are going to be sitting down with our neighbours across the street – the hospital – to talk about how the campus and the hospital can benefit each other. We’ve also talked to social services agencies that offer health and wellness programs that might be interested in relocating to the campus,” said Carré. “We also have the MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources) and OMAFRA (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) right there, and I’ve talked to their regional director and I’ve said as soon as things settle up, we want to start talking about programs that you would be able to bring to this campus. That could be research that the ministry

is doing - yes, the University of Guelph is where the most agricultural research gets done, but eastern Ontario is a fairly significant agricultural hub, and there’s opportunities for them to make sure that continues.” “This is going to put North Grenville on the map,” said Gordon. “We have a vision, and once the vision kicks in, it’s going to put us right on the map. People will come to us. With the climate change thing, let’s face it: it’s now, and in the future, and we’ll be on the cutting wave, as far as I’m concerned.” When asked about the costs associated with the acquiring of a large portion of the campus and the establishment of a community hub, Carré and Gordon stated that they will not be able to release any details until the agreement of purchase and sale is officially signed, and alluded to the possibility that there may not be any costs. “At this point in time, we haven’t released any details on the cost, if any, to acquire,” said Carré. “But that will be released once we have an agreement of

purchase and sale in place.” “Community hubs are something new,” added Gordon, “and when it comes to funding, this is what the government is all about. This community hub will be a showcase for North Grenville and eastern Ontario. The Kemptville College meant so much, and not just to North Grenville. The closure affected many people, local or not. This is the best news that North Grenville has probably had in 20 years, in my opinion.” “At the end of the day, the opportunity of owning 633 acres of land adjacent to our built-up community of our municipality, which is Kemptville, the centre of North Grenville, is not something that you can simply ignore,” said Carré. “I would say that as CAO, I’m very pleased that we’ve reached this agreement. I think that it will represent a wise investment for the municipality in the short term and the very long term, and it’s an economic development project with an opportunity to bring back the jobs that we lost and create more jobs.”

OPINION I

Swerving for squirrels

am convinced there are two types of people in this world: those who swerve for squirrels and those who don’t. Last week I was following behind a Ford Explorer driving through Kemptville. Suddenly this big honking SUV is all over the road – going far to the left, back to the right. Now we’re talking 3:30 in the afternoon here; not midnight when dabbling in some drinks could likely be the reason for such unruly driving. Then I noticed something on the road – a fat grey squirrel. This driver – hell or high water – was not going to take the life of this poor little squirrel. Most people would say that driver was out of their mind for swerving to avoid this squirrel. It’s just one little squirrel after all, no need to risk life and limb to save its life. But I found this episode rather poetic. In this whole great big world, here was this person in Kemptville that day willing to divert their own safe path to prevent harming another creature. Buddha would have been proud. In this day and age, where nothing makes sense, I found some hope in that moment. As I pondered all these great thoughts about life, the little bugger jumped out in front of my van.

he cattle are gone. We are a livestock-free farm. I posted on Facebook that I was sad to see them go and within minutes their new owner posted back: “They are in good hands. The move went well and they all settled in without an issue. Apples and grain for all upon arrival.” He already knows the way to their hearts. I can rest easy. With no bull in the barnyard and no cattle in the pasture, we can now wander our property freely. The Farmer and I decided to take the Ferg on walkabout. We went through the gate to the barnyard and had to coax him along on the end of the leash. The last time he went through that fence he got zapped by his wireless security collar. He has a good memory. Now he knows it’s OK to go out of his boundaries, if one of us is with him. It took him a few tries to get used to going down the driveway as well. I think at eight months he is now old enough to know the difference. We let him off his leash and he bounded across the barnyard

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION I guess he didn’t learn his lesson the first time. I didn’t swerve, because it’s been drilled into my head that swerving for animals leads to serious accidents, but he did survive his second brush with death. And that’s when it struck me: I am that other type of person – the one that doesn’t swerve for squirrels. Does that make me heartless or destructive in some way? Or am I just more sensible than the person who went all over the road trying to save a squirrel, possibly endangering other drivers and pedestrians? I don’t know the answer. I would like to think I am a good person, but I had no issue taking out that squirrel to avoid driving like a lunatic. The entire incident left me bewildered. I think ultimately that I, and that other driver, are both good people who approach life with different perspectives. I saw the big picture and they reacted to what was right in front of them. So which type are you? Someone who swerves for squirrels or not?

Fergus discovers his kingdom The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

after a squirrel, whimpering when it darted up a tree out of his reach. He stopped to pick up a dried cow patty but dropped it immediately when scolded. “Go find a stick,” I encouraged him. We reached the edge of the forest and opened another gate. Stepping into the trees, I heard a whimper and turned to see Fergus sitting there at the gate. “It’s OK, Ferg. Good boy. Come on now.” And he gingerly stepped into the ferns. That first section of the forest was a bouquet of fallen leaves, deer marks and porcupine poop for Fergus to discover. He leaped over tree stumps and limbo’ed under fallen branches, following one scent trail after another. The second part of the forest, closer to the creek, was less fun. I was

getting snagged and scratched through my jeans by thorny bushes at every step. He didn’t complain but I imagine it wasn’t very comfortable at dog level either. Then we reached the cornfield. A section of corn about ten feet wide had been trampled all around the perimeter. I thought a tractor had done it but the Farmer said no, it was wildlife. Even raccoons can bring down stands of corn quite effectively. What a mess. Fergus pointed out the little high-heeled hoofmarks left behind by deer and the tiny clawed handprints of raccoons. When we reached the creek, Fergus lost his mind. He raced down to the water’s edge, lured by the smell of frogs. As soon as he reached the water though, he stopped short. I don’t think we have to worry about him jumping in just yet. It still takes a bit of convincing to get him to try something new. We checked out the duck blind and Fergus sat quietly watching a family quacking along the edge of the creek. When we turned to head back into the forest, how-

ever, he burst into action, running in frantic circles as fast as he could go. I think he was trying to tell us he was happy. He is off leash all the time around the house but going on walkabout is a whole other experience. The assortment of smells must be quite a delight for his heightened senses. When we returned from our trail walk the Farmer decided to cut a permanent trail through the woods for us. I will look for cross-country skis so that Mina and I can enjoy them this winter. For now, the trails will give us a great walking path for Fergus so that he doesn’t get attacked by thorns anymore. He can go off-

leash and enjoy all 200 acres of his property safely. We haven’t had a chance to try out the new forest pathways yet, because hunting season is now underway. There aren’t supposed to be any uninvited hunters on our property, but we aren’t taking any chances. We will have to wait a few more days until it is safe to once again venture into the forest with a doe-coloured dog who bounces through the brush like a deer. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail. com

Storyteller Mary Cook launches new book – her twelfth BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Carleton Place storyteller Mary Cook’s twelfth work, “The Best Job in the World,” is a collection of her reflections – on topics ranging from Valley People to Remembering When and Modern Life to Home, Sweet Home. The book is now on sale. Dufferin Street home, Cook flips through her appointment book. On Nov. 18, she will be in Renfrew on Valley Heritage Radio (98.7 FM) at 10:45 a.m., followed by a book signing at A Sense of Country at 2 p.m. “If I ever lost this book I would need to move out of the country,” Cook said with a laugh. On Nov. 25, the author will be in Almonte at Mill Street Books for a 2 p.m. book signing. “I do a tremendous amount of public speaking,” Cook noted. “Sometimes, I do three speeches in one week.” Between now and the end of the year, she has eight speeches booked. “They usually want to hear the stories from the 1930s,” Cook said. “These stories had their birth on the radio in 1976, going right up until the mid 1990s.” One of Cook’s favourite stories in The Best Job in the World is Nightgowns. She explained: “My mother handed out a lot of Upcoming events advice on a lot of subjects in Sitting in the office of her her lifetime. However, two

very good reason … I have no hobbies – no artistic bone in my body.” Age means nothing to the writer. “My day starts between 5:30 and 6 a.m., and I am never in bed before midnight,” she revealed. “I have boundless energy to burn, and I rarely take a nap.” Other than severe spinal stenosis, “I am in reasonably good health, and thank God there is nothing wrong from the shoulders up,” Cook continued. “I have a phenomenal memory.”

ACTRA awards,” Cook stressed. “All I did was put the microphone in front of them and put their stories on the radio.” Cook is a regular contributor to major publications across the country, and her weekly articles in the Metroland Media newspapers continue to resonate with readers. Moreover, she is the author of 11 books, including Another Place at the Table, A Bubble Off Plumb, Christmas with Mary Cook, This Then Was Home and Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! “I am working on my 13th book, and I already have a title,” she said. For Every Leaf that Falls is the story of Cook’s family moving off their farm in Renfrew and into Carleton Place. It is the story of her mother, Mable Haneman, who could not wait to leave the farm. “She became a very successful businesswoman in Carleton Place, and we are pretty sure she opened the first private nursing home in Canada,” Cook said. Cook has received numerous citations throughout the years, including certificates from former Ontario premiers Bill Davis and Bob Rae, and former prime minister Jean Chrétien. The Town of Renfrew recognized her, and she received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Cook owns the “Queen of Carleton Place” title, and on Sept. 28, during this year’s Senior of the Year banquet presented by Waterside Retirement Community in partnership with the town, Cook received the inaugural Outstanding Service Award for her 62 years with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter.

“In my bedroom I have three medals on ribbons, and I have absolutely no idea what they are for,” Cook admitted. “It does not mean they are less meaningful … you get to a point where you forget.” “My rec room is full of more awards,” she added, and “my husband (Wally) has blown up and framed all of my book covers, putting them up on the walls.” Outside of writing, Cook has had “such a life … a wonderful ride.” “I was the lay observer for the Ontario Veterinarians Association for three and a half years (1976 to 1978) in Guelph,” she said, and “I was a head fashion consultant for Saks Fifth Avenue (Regency Room) before I went to CBC.” From 1958 to 1995, Cook and her husband owned Cook’s of Carleton Place Limited on Bridge Street. “Wally did carpets and draperies … it was a big interior decorating business … it was a two-floor department store,” Cook said.

W O N N PE O

An admired storyteller and author from Carleton Place recently launched her latest book, The Best Job in the World. Mary Cook’s 12th work is a collection of her reflections – on topics ranging from Valley People to Remembering When and Modern Life to Home, Sweet Home. “The book has nothing to do with the 1930s,” Cook told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 25. “It is a deviation from what I usually write.” For many years, Cook authored a column for eight newspapers serving eastern Ontario. It was an opinion column. “I took people and companies to task, and I was always writing jokes about my husband ... it was all done in a light vein,” she said. One-hundred-and-ninety-nine of these columns are in Cook’s new book. “I had no intention of doing this book,” Cook revealed. “In fact, I was very much against it.” She thought, “Who cares … nobody gives a hoot.” Burnstown Publishing House convinced the storyteller to move forward with the project, and about nine months ago a company representative came to Cook’s home with a memory stick and retrieved the columns from her computer – all 836 stories. “I could not believe I had that many, and I certainly was not going to go through them all,” Cook stated. “I know nothing about the computer, even though I am on it each day.” Perth editor Susan Code was brought on to go through the columns and pick the ones for the book. Cook was “absolutely delighted with the choices.” The Best Job in the World was completed mid-October. It can be purchased online at www.burnstownpublishing.com, at Mill Street Books in Almonte, and “all local book stores in eastern Ontario,” Cook said. The book costs $25. Cook was born in Ottawa and raised in Renfrew, and just in time for high school her family moved to Carleton Place. “Writing for me started in high school (Carleton Place High School), and I did my first radio broadcast in Grade 13,” Cook said. “It was with CFRA, and it was from the Almonte Fair.” “That would have been in the late 1940s, and I just never looked back,” she added. “I had my own radio show in Sarnia and then went to CBC in Windsor.” Owing to her 48-year career at CBC (Windsor, Toronto and Ottawa), Cook earned seven ACTRA awards for excellence in broadcast journalism. They hang on the wall in her home office. “When I say I won seven ACTRA awards, the people who told me their stories ... they were the winners of the

North Grenville Concert Choir prepares for ‘A Crooner Christmas’ The North Grenville Christmas Choir will be crooning. Yes, indeed, a new Christmas season is upon us again — and the choir has been rehearsing since early September to prepare for their annual Christmas concerts. This year will mark a real change, as they venture into something new; they will be presenting many of the old songs of the season made famous by crooners such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Irving Berlin and Frank Sinatra. Most of you would recognize these tunes, though perhaps not know their origins. I’ll Be Home for Christmas, which was written by Kim Gannon and Walter Kent, is said to be sung as a letter from a soldier who is stationed overseas during the Second World War, sending a message to his family and asking them to prepare Christmas with all of his favourite things, as he hopes to be home to celebrate — but only in his dreams. However, Gannon has said that it was actually written for all the people who cannot be home with their loved ones at this time of year. Regardless, the music industry

felt at first that it was too sad to publish because of the ending, but it was eventually recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943. Winter Wonderland was written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard Smith, and has been recorded by more than 200 artists. Smith was reportedly inspired after seeing the park in his Pennsylvania hometown covered in a blanket of freshly fallen snow, and though it is mostly a winterthemed song, with “sleigh bells ringing” in the lyrics, it soon became a favourite at Christmas time. Let It Snow, composed by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne in July 1945, was apparently written in California during a heat wave, after they turned their thoughts to cooler weather, hoping for relief. Though there is no mention of Christmas in the lyrics, it too quickly became a popular favourite at this time of year. The Christmas Song (also known as Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), written by Mel Torme and Robert Wells, was also written during a blistering hot summer, with the intention

to simply cool down a bit — and a song was born. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas was written in 1951 by Meredith Willson and quickly became a huge hit for Perry Como, the Fontane Sisters and Bing Crosby. Whether or not you know the origins or the history behind these songs, they are as familiar to us as our Christmas traditions. So, come and enjoy; you will be treated to a great collection of old classics under the brilliant direction of Phillip Konopka. The North Grenville Concert Choir is delighted to bring you A Crooner Christmas: Sunday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m. at St. Clare’s Anglican in Winchester; Friday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Southgate Church in Kemptville; and Sunday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Church in Merrickville.

Kemptville 73s swept by Navan, Rockland, Smiths Falls this past week by brian wilson

On Wednesday, Nov. 8, Kemptville faced the Navan Grads in North Grenville. To recognize Canada’s efforts in past and present conflicts, the colour party from Branch 212 of the Royal Canadian Legion were piped to centre ice. After a moment of silence and the national anthem, the captains from both teams joined them at centre ice. Legion president Hester Horricks did the puck drop. The 73’s got off to a quick start, scoring in the first minute of play. Joe McGrath and Garrett Meyer set up Alec Taillon’s ninth of the year. From that point forward, the rest of the period was all Grads as the 73’s looked like they were skating in quicksand. Navan scored three times to take a 3-1 into the first intermission. The second period was all Kemptville. Jared Patterson scored first from McGrath and Meyer again. Then, Ben MacDonald scored his first of the season assisted by Eric Faith and Ashton Fry. That goal was followed by one from John Beaton with the helpers going to Eric Conley and Nick Domitrovic. The 73’s were unable to escape the period with the lead as Navan was able to tie the game at 4-4 after two. The play in the third period see-sawed back and forth with neither team getting the upper hand. With less than four minutes to go, Kemptville had a turnover in the neutral zone

which ended up in the back of the 73’s net. As they pressed to equal the score, Navan was able to add one more to skate away with a 6-4 win. Jared Patterson was selected as the game’s third star. Friday, Nov. 10, had the team travel to Rockland for a game against the Nationals. Before the game, Kemptville made another trade. Winger, Alec Taillon, was traded to the Hawkesbury Hawks in exchange for center, Joel Frazee, and future considerations. Also, Alexis Giguerre was sent to the Terrebonne Cobras of the QJHL. General manager Terry Nichols stated that “player personnel moves are done for the time being and I feel that we now have the team that we wanted.” Head coach Jeff Jordan said “I can see a definite upswing in the calibre of play, but there is still a lot of work to be done.” The teams played an even first period with the 73’s gaining the advantage on Jared Patterson’s second goal in two games. Charlie Kiefer and Eric Faith picked up the assists. With Kemptville leading 1-0 going into the second period, Rockland turned up the heat. They were able to put three by goaltender, Cooper Lukenda, one on the power-play. In the third period, down 3-1 to the Nationals, newly acquired Joel Frazee notched his fourth of the year, to make it a 3-2 game. Damien Figueira captured the only assist. With

eighteen seconds left in the game and the Kemptville net empty in favour of an extra attacker, the Nationals found the empty cage and made it a 4-2 final. Cooper Lukenda was named second star of the game. On Sunday, Nov. 12, the Smiths Falls Bears visited Kemptville for a matinee. The Bears opened the scoring, but the 73’s evened the score before the end of the frame. Joel Frazee scored his second as a member of the 73’s and his fifth of the season. The assists went to Jacob Thousand and Tommy Bertrand. Twenty-eight seconds into the second Smiths Falls took a 2-1 lead. The remainder of the period was evenly played with the Bears holding the edge in shots. The 73’s were thwarted in their efforts to get their shots through the Smiths Falls defensive shell. The third period was all Smiths Falls. They were able to score four times. Two of the goals came on a five-minute power play. The final score was a resounding 6-1 win for the Bears. Kemptville goaltender, Cooper Lukenda, stopped 36 of the 42 shots he faced. The 73’s could only muster a game total of 12 shots. Joel Frazee was named third star. This week’s games start on Thursday, Nov. 16 with the team traveling to Kanata to face the Lasers. Next, it is another Sunday afternoon matinee on Nov. 19, when the Hawkesbury Hawks will be here. Opening face-off is at 2 p.m.
