presentation held at the 2015 Leeds and Grenville Economic Development Summit held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville. Referred to as the “King of Hearts,” Tackaberry has been a major supporter of everything from the Athens Aeros Jr. B hockey club, Farmersville and Cornfest to Centennial Park and Soccer Field and the Joshua Bates Centre of Performing Arts. Tackaberry and Thake went to school together, the award recipient noted. “He was a great friend, a good guy,” Tackaberry stated. “I’m honoured to have been nominated for an award with Bill Thake’s name on it.” Thake’s widow Marlene and the current warden, North Grenville Mayor David Gordon, were on hand to present the award. Also on hand was Glenn Allen, the first recipient of the warden’s award named in Thake’s honour. Athens Mayor Herb Scott said that the award could not have gone to a better guy. Anyone whose life hasn’t been touched by Tackaberry yet will be, the mayor remarked. See Bill Thake page K5

Two Rivers Food Hub’s local food basket program kicks off The Two Rivers Food Hub is more than halfway towards its goal of 30 clients for its fall and winter version of the popular Local Foods Basket. Starting in November, the food basket will be available for pick up at one of our four convenient locations in Lanark or Leeds and Grenville counties and will carry a variety of products for lovers of local foods. Every basket will contain at least one full family meal’s worth all natural, sustainably farmed local meat, fruit and veggies, a pickle, a preserve and at least one ‘wild card’ option. Everything in the basket is clearly labeled and sourced with care from a small farm, producer and/ or processor. Payments can be made all at once or, if you prefer, you can pay half now and half later. Cost for a full season share is $60/basket ($420 for seven months) and shares are limited, so sign up now. There are also five ‘giving back’ shares available at $504 for the season, for these, the purchaser receives a full share of their own and also helps to support a half price basket for two families

selected in partnership with a local food bank. Another new feature for this basket will be the ability to add some select grocery items which will be available for purchase through our website. The Two Rivers Local Foods Basket will be delivered monthly to four convenient pick-up locations in Carleton Place, Perth, Kemptville and Smiths Falls. Deliveries will be on the third Tuesday of each month, starting on Nov. 17 and ending on May 17. Some of the products already promised for this season’s basket include local beef, pork, lamb, yogurt, potatoes, carrots, kimchee, dill, sweet and bread and butter pickles, raspberry, strawberry and crabapple jellies and jams, beets, kale, kale chips, sausages, honey, apples and garlic, etc. Please email the food hub at info@tworiversfoodhub. com or call us at 613-2051338 to order your share today.

before purchasing an expensive device. The counsellor suggested and demonstrated various hearing devices that were around $200 and allowed Jean to borrow it on a trial basis. The next day, Jean had a visit from her husband and son, reuniting them all together after months of separation because of hospitalization. They were shouting at each other but Jean was missing so much of the conversation. One of the staff at her retirement home quickly ran to get the device and explained to the family what it was and how it worked, as she placed it on Jean’s ears. Jean’s face lit up when she heard her son and husband’s voices! Everyone was in absolute awe of the fact that for the first time, Jean said, “I can hear you!” She started to laugh, then sobbed with tears of joy streaming down her

One Lanark County resident had no idea that her meeting with a Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) counsellor would turn her life around. Jean was very hard of hearing and never received a hearing test as she has moderate dementia. Her family shouted in her ear when trying to communicate with her and conversations were short and very frustrating for everyone. They thought it was her comprehension level that was proving to be a barrier, when trying to hold a conversation and never really considered hearing loss as a cause. This continued for years and was never really investigated. One day, her caregivers suggested that Jean should look into communication devices. After meeting with a CHS hearing care counsellor, she was recommended a personal amplifier to try out

Build a Mountain of food eclipses half-million pound mark after Smiths Falls stop Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Last weekend, the Build a Mountain Food campaign reached the halfmillion pound mark in its ninth season. “Smiths Falls just blows me away… every time,” said Hugh Colton, as he offered totals from the week’s haul. His campaign to date this year, after just three weeks, has reached an incredible 107,112 pounds of food and $19,120.24 in cash donations. “We are over the top,” he said comparing to last year’s totals. In the store-to-store challenge, Colton started at the Garden Market where Derek Buffam and the gang collected 2,500 pounds of food. Over to Food Basics where Jason Hodge, the new store manager, and his employees collected 500 pounds. “That was from their own pockets,” Colton said. “It’s nice to have Jason on board.” Colton said the grocery business runs in the Hodge family as his father Gib was a former grocery store owner in town. Then they hit Giant Tiger with Ross Muir, where we collected another 6,000 pounds and $1,500 in cash. And finally, over to the YIG where Dan Andress was helped out by his assistant manager so Dan Hedderson was helping with the campaign, Colton said.

“We got an incredible 17,000 pounds collected at the Independent,” he said. So if you’re keeping track, that’s 26,000 from the store challenges but that doesn’t include the 12,944 pounds from pre-packaged bags “with more coming in.” During the day, Colton received donations from: Rideau Home Hardware Building Centre for 1,000 pounds of food; RCL Automotive with 2,400 pounds of food; ReMax Affiliates Realty Ltd., who went door to door collecting 535 pounds of food and $365.60 in cash donations; Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club’s members and league players who gave $7,726.35 and another 500 pounds of food; The Cassell family of Glenview Iron and Metal, Mackat Transportation and Palmer Recycling with 3,000 pounds of food; Friday Night Hoops for Heart at SFDCI with Todd Spencer’s basketball team collecting 205 pounds of food and $200; and, Zombie Walk with a $20 donation; Smiths Falls Civitan Club with a $1,500 donation. During the Santa Claus parade that evening, the Build a Mountain float won the best commercial prize of $100. Colton put that into the food bank coffers.

A milestone was hit over the weekend with the Smiths Falls stop as the campaign has reached a half-million mark with a whopping 521,082 pounds of food collected and $211,976.70 in cash donations. Colton was impressed with the help he received from the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears hockey team. “They were great,” Colton said. “Chris Cassell, Mark Grady, Walt Dubas and all the guys… they were hauling food to the food bank and filling shelves… they were working hard all day and we thank them.” Colton offered thanks to all the food drive campaign helpers, contributors, staffers, grocery store ownPhotos courtesy Jim Wright ers and staff, patrons… everyone for Last weekend, the Build a making this Smiths Falls stop the best Mountain Food campaign one yet.

It runs 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on both Saturday, Dec. 5 and Sunday, Dec. 6. According to house tour event chair Judy Hollinger, this year’s lineup was confirmed back in June. “It’s really nice this year. In other years we have occasionally had new built house included because they had heritage elements, but this year, they’re all older,” she explained. As is tradition, each house is paired with a local decorator, who enhances its features in holiday style. “We try and choose the decorator whose style is going to complement the house,” explained Hollinger. “It will get you inspired for your own Christmas decorating,” she added.

Historic homes First up is 2187 Drummond Concession 5B, an early 1800s squaretimbered log home hidden behind cedar hedges. Visitors will delight in the wooden beams, wide-board flooring of the original heritage construction, as well as period tin ceilings and a quaint brick fireplace. The décor features a mix of eclectic antiques that makes the space warm and inviting. Homing Instinct Marketplace and Gemmell’s Flowers will enhance the home with decorations and florals. A century stone home and farm is showcased in the next stop, at 182 Richmond’s Road, which has housed five generations of the Richmond family. According to land documents, the 200-acre space was purchased in 1878 for just $278. Hillside Gardens will enhance the gabled windows, front porch and cozy interior with traditional Christmas décor. Other aspects of the home not to be missed are its rich pine flooring throughout, original millwork, beautiful bannister and stairway, as well as a newly-updated kitchen. Hillside Gardens will provide Christmas florals. Heading into Perth, 5 Alexander Street is a 1910 classic Victorian home on display. The three-storey structure is authentic, yet the owners have updated it keeping in mind its traditional charm. It has been said that type for the first editions of the Perth Courier was set in the small office in the home’s front foyer. Original stained glass work, tall ceilings and large windows can be seen, as well as a back staircase and 10 original works of art by artist Garnet Hazard,

the grandfather of the current owners, along with Christmas décor by Hay Design Furnishings & Décor. A little gem awaits visitors on the tour at 63 Drummond Street East. This little blue house may not look imposing, but the early 1800s structure was one of Perth’s first timber-framed houses and was the town’s original post office. It has been home to some of the town’s prominent citizens, including postmaster Josiah Taylor, William and Jose Blair, George Hume Read, as well as Robert and Annie Little. Today, the home has been modernized and features minimalist décor, with the only remaining hints of its history are the timbers in the basement and the stone hearth in the living room, which will be highlighted by Christmas creations by Art & Class. The home of Mary Rothfels, next year’s event chair for the house tour, is another to be showcased this year. A 100-year-old Wampole house, located at 8 Beckwith Street East in Perth, the open concept home provides an airy sanctuary. “We bought our house because we love the architecture and renovations that have been done, but we’re just the caretakers,” Rothfels remarked. Having moved into the home just two years ago, Rothfels and her husband have been whittling down their five-year renovation plan. “(The house tour) has been a real motivator to get the house looking how we want it, so we’re feeling very good about it,” she stated. A love of gardening earned the Rothfels a landscaping award for gardening this past summer. Rothfels said there are approximately 20 Wampole homes in Perth, which were thought to be designed by a California man. They were purchased locally by H.K. Wampole Company for $1 apiece just after the First World War to house pharmaceutical company staff. They feature distinct hollow bricks and usually carry a Tudor element. “There’s just something about them,” Rothfels said of Wampole homes. “They’re fun.” Designer Charlee Osler will display her talents at the Rothfels’ home, incorporating their love of birds. “At my home, the decorator is going to be doing something completely different. It puts on a bit of a show because visitors are expecting designed homes,” she said. “This puts an exciting, glamourous face forward, whether it’s your personal style or not.” A 1910 double-brick farmhouse at 196 Clarchris Road will give visitors a warm and inviting feeling. The home was rescued after years of neglect and the homeowners have been working on extensive renovations for the past 12 years, preserving the nine-foot ceilings and tall windows, original wood floors, baseboards and millwork. Another feature is the large front

veranda that encompasses the front of the home. Just up the road is the next stop on the tour, 602 Clarchris Road. A traditional Lanark County homestead dating back to the 1820s, a charming veranda sweeps the entire home, which is a working farm. Original pine floors and millwork are still retained, as well as a cranberry glass light fixture. A newly renovated kitchen and antique furnishings complement the home. The owners have taken care to reserve the pine window frames, floors and bannisters, reflecting the time period. The final home featured is 801 Upper Scotch Line Road, a romantic 100-acre country estate, built in the 1850s. Now a popular bed and breakfast, Penny’s Lane, purchased by the current owner in 2013, many of the original aspects of the twostorey home have been retained. The antiques and artifacts found at the home highlight the distinctive interior. An added feature of this property is Suite Miss Scarlet, a two-storey timber-frame private suite with a fireplace and bedroom loft. The former timberframe barn was transformed into a romantic and one-of-akind space in which to escape, that includes a charming living room and fireplace, full kitchen with laundry and pantry, and a bedroom loft with a four-piece ensuite and walk-in closet on the upper level. Dedicated volunteers

In order to ensure each visitor has as much time as possible to view each of the homes, Hollinger said the house tour committee takes care in mapping out routes. “We plan out, map and group homes so that we don’t have any that are too far away…we try to group them so there’s flow and driving around is reasonable,” she said. “It’s meant to be a weekend event, so visitors can do the eight houses over two days,” added Rothfels. Parking is always taken care of as well, to ensure there are adequate spaces. On the days of the tour, student parking attendants from the Algonquin College police foundations program will help facilitate. The Town of Perth also reserves parking spots specifically for guests on the tour. “We’ve really learned over the years, what we need to take care of well ahead to make sure there’s no surprises on event day,” Hollinger said. “People appreciate how much attention to detail there is, with signs and balloons at each home, a cleaning service offered to homeowners, the list goes on and on,” added Rothfels. Guests on the tour can also visit several of the town’s restaurants, including Mex & Co., O’Reilly’s Pub, Michael’s Table and the Stone Cellar, as well as St. James Anglican Church, will donate a percentage of their sales over the weekend to the CFUW. Each home has a group of volunteers, usually seven or eight, who provide a “really lovely atmosphere of welcom-

Most of the houses will also include refreshments and live music. Tickets for the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour are $30 per person and are available at: Crush Marketplace in Almonte, Oderin Kitchen Supplies in Kingston, Windsor’s Courtyard in Merrickville, Tivoli Florist in Ottawa, Perth Home Furniture and Elizabeth Interiors in Smiths Falls. With this year’s tour yet to take place, Rothfels said planning is well underway for next year. “We already have some lined up for next year, which will be quite exciting as we’ll celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Perth settlement area,” Rothfels noted. “We have an agreement with Tay Valley Township to showcase their township and focus on heritage through old schoolhouses.” “…In Perth, our architecture has a huge history to it,” she continued. “You’re a steward of your home. It’s not yours. That’s how I feel…I feel a certain pride in our community.” For more information on the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour and other activities, visit www.cfuw-perthdistrict.com.

Puss in Boots panto to hit the stage at Station Theatre next month graphs. Everyone will delight in the sight of male and female principals switching gender roles. In the grand tradition of the British panto the role of the Queen (the Dame), for example, is played by Mike Adams, a veteran of many SFCT productions. And the role of Jack Miller (the Principal Boy) is played by the 17-year-old Robin Magee; this is her first leading role, having gained past experience in several chorus parts in musicals. Lela Fox-Doran, age 15, who plays the part of Puss, recently appeared in A Little Princess and has been in the chorus in several pantomimes. Tim Bisaillon, playing King Wally the Once, is another veteran performer, appearing in a host of recent musical and dramatic productions. Tickets for the show are $20 for adults and $10 for students (with ID). They are on sale at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. E., Smiths Falls (cash only), at smithsfallstheatre.com (Paypal or credit card), and by phone, 613-283-0300 (credit card). Tickets for our Christmas Panto sell quickly and many performances sell out. Get yours early! As this show is great for kids, we have changed the Saturday evening performances (on Dec. 5 and 12) to matinees that start at 2 p.m. As before, we offer Sunday matinees as well: on Dec. 6 and 13, at 2 p.m. The only evening performances are Thursday, December 3 and Friday, Dec. 4 and 11.

Puss in Boots, directed by Emily Duberville, is a fast moving and extremely funny pantomime for the whole family. Panto is an inclusive, audience driven, comic escape into a fairy tale. Ben Crocker’s play, starring a sassy cat, is no exception. Jack the Miller’s son has just inherited a cat. But this cat is no ordinary feline. And with the help of a charming fairy, Puss in Boots develops the power of speech; soon Puss helps our humble hero, Jack, on his way to fame and fortune. However, between Jack and fortune lies a terrible ogre, a wicked fairy, Jack’s bumbling, nottoo-bright, brothers, as well as some rather large rabbits, not to mention a King and Queen in search of a wealthy son-in-law. All of which makes for hilarity, hijinks and maybe just a little romance. SFCT is bringing the full pantomime experience to our theatre this year with a huge cast of extremely talented actors. Kids of all ages will adore watching Puss help Master Jack become the Marquis of Carabas and win the hand of the lovely Princess Esmerelda. But keep your eyes open, because here comes Grimgrab the Ogre and he plans to become the next King of the land. There is nothing quite like a pantomime for offering fun for the entire audience and SFCT has established a tradition of colourful, exciting pantomimes for the holiday season. Director Duberville does it again with a cast of seasoned veterans, as well as some new faces, taking the stage to deliver an exciting and fast-paced magical tale. Children will particularly enjoy the chance to meet the stars after the show and collect some “royal” auto-

Commentary

We'd say this is an emergency

ealth care professionals have voiced their concern around moving the Smiths Falls ambulance base out of the town core, but the process to exclude the town seems to be moving along. An Oct. 29 letter from Dr. Peter Roney, Chief of Staff at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital touches on this concern when he talks about the ambulance being able to meet their response times throughout the geographic coverage area if the base was moved, but it isn’t advice the county has acted on to date. He pointed to the traditional practice that ambulance services find homes relatively close to the hospitals they transport to. In fact, throughout Lanark County the ambulance stations are located within the built up areas (yes, we include Lanark Village in this). The local ambulance service is al-

ready working hard to address climbing call volumes, so adding another obstacle to their already challenging task seems cruel. Add to this the real issue that we’re talking about people’s lives here. When someone dials 9-1-1 for a loved one who is suffering a cardiac event every second counts in terms of their survivability and recovery. We hope the county is keeping this in mind when they make their decision on the future of the Smiths Falls ambulance base. Just in case, we urge residents to contact the county and express their thoughts on the ambulance base’s future home. Let’s face it, the building will be with us for the next 25 to 30 years so it’s important we get it right by making a decision without malice. The health and safety of all citizens should be above all that.

Thursday suppers featured special treats for family

lthough Mother always seemed to be tucking something into the oven, or stirring a pot on the stove, whatever day of the week it was, for some reason Thursday was the day when nothing interfered with her baking. We would come home from school to be met with the sweet smell of apple pies, homemade buns, and always on the bake table, would be fresh muffins and golden tea biscuits. Ours was a home of routine. Just like Monday was wash day, Tuesday Mother did the ironing, Wednesday was Mother’s day to quilt, sew, have someone drop in for tea and a bit of chatter, or to go to a meeting at the church. And so, Thursday was bake day. And Friday was the time

to get everything ready to take into Renfrew on Saturday to peddle door to door. Which meant too, that Friday, more baking was done, because of the great demand for Mother’s sticky buns, and they couldn’t be made two days before delivering them to her special customers, like Dr. Murphy, and rich Mrs. Stewart. But baking for the family was always done on Thursday, and that became my favourite day of the week. I so anticipated walking into the kitchen that day, that I was sure I could actually

smell the sweet buns and apple pie long before the lane ended at the gate into the barn yard. And as soon as I opened the door, I would be met head-on with the wonderful smells, the result of Mother’s long day at the bake table and the Findlay Oval. And I knew a treat would be waiting for me. We never considered homemade bread a treat...that was something we had every day. No this would be a special treat, and one I looked forward too with saliva swirling around my mouth waiting for that first bite. Of course, the first order was to get upstairs, and get out of my school clothes. Heaven forbid that I would get a drop of butter, or jam onto the blouse that I was expected to keep spotlessly clean

for the rest of the week. Once in my play clothes, I would tear downstairs like someone possessed and head right for the kitchen table. There at one end, as always, would be a crisp clean flour bag tea towel, laid out flat with a little plate on it. Beside it would be a small dish of jam...which could be wild strawberry, picked in the summer from along the CPR tracks, or raspberry, which was my favourite. And then Mother would bring over one of her freshly made muffins and a tea biscuit on another little plate and set them before me. Now it was decision time. Which one should I eat first? Mother would smile and then she would chuckle, as I said my usual, ‘eenie, meenie, minee moe’, and sometimes

my finger would land on the one I wanted to save for last, and I would go all over the exercise again. The muffin usually won out. Still warm from the oven, I would lather it with the jam, and take small little bites to make the wonderful taste last as long as I could. And then I would do the same with the tea biscuit. There wouldn’t be a crumb left on the little plate when I finished. I wouldn’t have refused had Mother offered me a piece of warm apple pie too. But supper wasn’t far off, and I had to save my appetite for it. I would take the tea towel and the plate over to the little table. And I would linger over the array of baking Mother had spent most of the day making. There was never any bread on the bake table,

because it was made several times a week, always started in an evening, put in large greased bowls, and allowed to sit on the reservoir on the back of the Findlay Oval, where it would rise overnight, baked in the morning and then be ready for the next meal. I never ceased to marvel at the bounty of food we had at our table. Breakfast was a meal in itself. Dinner, at noon hour, would feed half of Renfrew County. Supper was considered the lightest meal of the day, and yet our plates were heaped with fried potatoes, meat and always there was a cabbage salad, which Father thought was as necessary as the sky-high plate of fresh bread.

Letter: OPP moves from in-car to body worn cameras to increase safety Given the recent media coverage on in-car cameras (ICCs), often referred to as “dash cams,” I want to clarify some of the misinformation that was conveyed in relation to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). In 2004, the OPP installed approximately 80 cameras in front-line police vehicles as part of a pilot project. The vehicles were deployed in the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa and Kenora. The focus of the pilot was aimed at increasing the safety of our officers and the public, and the video could provide additional evidence with respect to criminal and Highway Traffic Act (HTA) investigations and prosecutions. The pilot study ran for three years, ending in 2007. After the pilot was concluded and the evaluations were completed, the decision was made not to proceed with a province-wide deployment. The cameras remained in the vehicles while they were functional, with the last camera being removed in 2009. The OPP has not used ICCs since that time. The OPP is committed to providing the most effective

and efficient police service possible, as we were in 2007 when it was decided that the ICCs should not be implemented across the province. More recently, the conversation has moved to body worn cameras (BWCs). Similar to the challenges faced with ICCs, there are concerns beyond cost, including: data storage and management, technological shortcomings, privacy concerns, and a lack of existing regulations and case law regarding their use. The vast deployed nature of the OPP work force compounds the problems outlined above. In April 2015, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) endorsed the BWC pilot project being conducted by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and police services across the province were asked to adopt an “observe and hold” position on BWCs until that pilot project was complete. The OPP supports the OACP’s position and will fully evaluate the TPS report when it is completed. Over the past several years the OPP has made significant investment in technology that has had an impact on public and officer

safety, in addition to creating efficiencies to keep officers on the road and in communities they serve. In 2016, the OPP will have every on-duty front-line officer equipped with a conducted energy weapon. The OPP currently owns and operates 11 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to sup-

port investigations with photographs and videos in a timely and cost efficient manner. The use of UAVs in traffic collision investigations has significantly reduced the length of time highways are closed. The expansion of the number of mobile work stations in vehicles, the implementation

Police seek tips in theft at residence under construction in Carleton Place

Judicial pre-trial set for case against LAWS executive director Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

Charges are moving ahead against Rhonda Fleming, the executive director of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and a judicial pre-trial date has been set. Fleming’s case was again before the courts Nov. 16 in Smiths Falls. She was not present. Her lawyer, Ottawa criminal attorney Bruce Engel of Engel & Associates, requested a closed judicial pre-trial date be set for Dec. 18 at 11 a.m. in courtroom 3 at the Perth courthouse. At that time, either a plea

will be entered or a date will be set to move forward with a trial. The charges against Fleming stem from an Aug. 24 incident in Smiths Falls where the Kanata resident failed to stop or remain at the scene of an accident and obstructed a police officer. She is also charged with a Highway Traffic Act violation for driving a motor vehicle without an interlock device. Fleming is currently on sick leave from her position with LAWS. None of these charges have been proven in court.

The following is an article promoting the upcoming Mississippi Mudds Christmas production, The People VS Mona. It is written in the voice of one of the show’s characters, famous advice columnist Tish “The Dish” Thomas. Dear Tish, I have been engaged for more than eight years. My fiancé—I’ll call him “Jim” says we need to wait a little longer to get married because of the stupid trial we are both involved in. Did I mention that I am a cracker-jack prosecuting attorney? Well, I am. Now, don’t y’all think that eight years is a bit of a long time to be engaged?

If you’re going to be away from your home for a long time, say, on vacation or a long weekend, turn the temperature up. Or better yet, turn the air conditioning Submitted photo Alice (Karen Bernique, left) and Pat (Selena MacKay) indulge in a late-night argument unit off.

BarnDoor Productions’ Snowed Under; nine people, six doors and a blizzard How much fun can nine people, six doors and a blizzard produce? Mathematically, the number of possible jokes is nine to the ninth to the sixth to the sixth or about . . . well, an evening full of laughs. Snowed Under is the 104th production from Perth’s original community theatre, BarnDoor Productions. The new holiday show by Alan Smithee is high-spirited farce from first to last with a touch of a white Christmas thrown in. It keeps up BarnDoor’s long tradition of high energy, fast paced productions. In fact, on last Sunday’s tech rehearsals (just before this was written), the energy was so high, it took at least one of the six doors completely off its hinges. The doors have been reinforced since as the energy is sure to build even higher by opening night. The Christmas season is supposed to be about joy and that’s what this show is about -- the simple joy of running around a stage in your boxer shorts and being silly. Snowed Under is a new update of a 1930s movie farce and, in the spirit of modern equality, there are just as many men in their boxers as there are women in their frillies. How the audience take that is yet to be seen, but there are some hilarious knees on display. It’s all about a Broadway playwright who escapes the pressures of New York by running to his Connecticut home on Christmas Eve. His hopes of completing his new play in peace are dashed before he even starts, as practically everyone from New York follows him. There’s his down-to-earth

first wife, his gold-digging second wife, an infatuated college co-ed, her Broadway producer father who wants to know why his daughter is standing there wearing “not nearly enough to keep out the cold!” There’s also a deputy sherrif, a sherrif, a lawyer and a neighbour, each of whom help to complicate the situation as much as possible. Snowed in on Christmas Eve, there’s nothing to do but make the best -- and the funniest -- of the situation. BarnDoor’s cast offers both veteran performers and some new faces. Supporters include David Bird (Antonio in BDP’s The Merchant of Venice) as the Broadway producer/father; Scott Duncan (August: Osage County) as a strait-laced lawyer who finds romance; Don MacKay (God of Carnage) as a no-nonsense back-country sherrif; Kathie Reid (Gaslight) as a super-efficient and supercynical neighbour; Selena MacKay (August: Osage County) as a college co-ed with a big crush; and newcomer Kim Fisher, in her stage debut, as ex-wife, ex-actress Daisy, full of wisecracks and sass. The main pair of protagonists are Alan and his first exwife, Alice. Alice is played by veteran Karen Bernique (God of Carnage, August: Osage County) while Alan is yet another newcomer to the stage, Brian Atterbury. Their relationship is a little ambiguous. “Ooh, you swine,” she says after Alan kisses her in greeting. “Fine talk after two years,” says Alan. “Let’s go into the bedroom and not talk for a week.” Discussing Alan’s second wife, she asks “Are you still paying that . . . I’ll say lady

. . . three hundred dollars a month in alimony?” “Yes and no,” says Alan. “I’m owing her three hundred a month.” When second ex-wife Daisy shows up, it’s with a lawyer and a sherrif to help her collect her “Alanmoany.” Snowed Under is a fun, fluffy and altogether different way to start the holiday season. It’s light and refreshing and sure to put you into a jolly mood to face the pressures of December. Still to come at Full Circle Theatre before Christmas are the premiere of Newton Films’ The Story of Perth, Part Two on December 9, the follow up to Part One, which premiered at FCT last June, and the Academy of Music Theatre’s showcase performances of Disney’s Aladdin on Dec. 11 and 12. Those are followed by one of the biggest musical events of the year when Séan McCann, co-founder of Great Big Sea, brings his You Know I Love You tour to Perth. McCann is currently on a cross-Canada tour, from coast to coast, and will conclude at Full Circle Theatre in December 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for that event are at www.ticketsplease.ca.

Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival announces expanded 2016 season The Classic Theatre Festival in Perth is growing once more for its seventh summer season in Perth, with a third main stage show and a longer season (June 24 to Sept. 11, 2016). The professional company, which hires some of Canada’s top theatrical talent, produces hits from the golden age of Broadway and the London stage, while also running a youth theatre training project that will once again recreate characters and stories

from the town’s past as it marks its 200th anniversary. On the main stage at 54 Beckwith Street East, the festival will continue to host eight performances a week (five matinees and three evening shows), with the addition of the hugely popular pre-shows talks a halfhour before every show. First up will be Neil Simon’s I Ought to Be in Pictures (June 24 to July 17), a heartfelt comedy about a father and daughter rebuilding

their relationship after years of disconnection, a mature, touching, memorable play that brings great joy to the season” (Clive Barnes, New York Post) and “Neil Simon’s best play since ‘The Odd Couple’” (Women’s Wear Daily). Next is Arms and the Man (July 22 to Aug. 14), George Bernard Shaw’s delightfully witty comedy satirizing the futility of war that inspired the operetta, The Chocolate Sol-

dier. George Orwell called it “the wittiest play” Shaw ever wrote, and one whose message needs to be told so long as men insist on taking up arms against one another. The season closes with An Inspector Calls (Aug. 19 to Sept. 11), J.B. Priestley’s nailbiter of a mystery in which a body has been found and everyone is suspect. Considered one of the true classics of mid20th-century English theatre, it The Classic has received numerous revivals Theatre Fes- and adaptations, the latest a

BBC-TV film slated for broadcast in 2016. Running throughout the summer as well will be new stories and themes for the Perth through the Ages historic theatrical walking tour (running five mornings a week beginning at 11 a.m. at the Perth Museum) as well as the Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, which this year will also start at the museum at 7 p.m. Both are “plays that move,” in which characters pop up and act out scenes linked by a common

thread, leaving people with an entertaining, informative understanding of Perth history. The festival’s annual holiday sale is on until Dec. 31, with savings of up to 30 per cent off regularly priced tickets (with the option to enjoy ticket savings now while booking dates later on). Tickets and seats can now be ordered online at www. classictheatre.ca or by calling 1-877-283-1283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival. R0013546572.1112

Getting a grip on Canadian winter driving with new tire report tires. The survey found cost to be a primary deterrent. However, financial incentives offered by government and industry, are proving effective at making winter tires more feasible for many drivers. “For the safest and very best winter driving experience, we recommend that motorists use winter tires,” says Carolyn Goard, communications manager of TRAC. “Government initiatives are working and that’s leading to growing demand and making our roadways safer. As an industry, we will continue to do our part to educate drivers about the importance of using winter tires.”

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), East Region’s Fall Seat Belt Campaign has concluded and the results are discouraging. Between Sept. 23 and Oct. 9, OPP officers, working in conjunction with community partners, were highly visible as they conducted seatbelt compliance safety checks to ensure they were being used and that their passengers were properly secured, with a specific focus on child restraints. Unfortunately, during the campaign OPP officers found numerous drivers who still do not buckle up when driving. Officers investigated six personal injury collisions attributed to improper seatbelt use and charged 981 people with failing to wear a seatbelt or ensuring that passengers under the age of 16 were properly buckled. “Wearing a seat belt could save you from more than just a ticket, it just

might save your life,” said OPP Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond, Regional Commander, East Region. Fortunately, for the 17 day period of the campaign no seatbelt related fatalities were reported on OPP patrolled highways in eastern Ontario. The OPP would like to thank all the drivers who are compliant in wearing their seat belt at all times.

Other highlights of the report include: • Role of government is key. Government leaders are playing a proactive role in encouraging Canadian motorists to use winter tires. Through education and incentives, they are helping to reduce preventable collisions, injuries and fatalities. • Easy to recognize labeling. Tires that display the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol (also referred to as the ‘Alpine Symbol’) on the sidewall have been rigorously tested and meet specific snow traction performance requirements. • Misconceptions persist. While there is a growing understanding from consumers of the safety and performance benefits of winter tires, 63 per cent still cling to the idea that all-season tires offer sufficient traction and braking capabilities for winter driving. Data shows that’s just not true and that winter tires save lives. • Temperature is everything with winter tires. At temperatures at or below 7 degrees Celsius, winter tires significantly outperform all others. Winter tires provide superior traction in cold weather because they feature a softer tread compounds that maintain flexibility. • Provincial governments are doing

their part. Government jurisdictions across Canada are proactively promoting road safety in the winter. Consumer education resources, financial incentives — among other initiatives — are helping to increase winter tire adoption nation-wide. The full 2015 TRAC Winter Tire Report, along with a wide range of winter tires resources, can be viewed

by visiting news.tracanada.ca/winter- and suppliers of goods and services tires related to the industry. TRAC is committed to educating drivers about About the Tire and Rubber proper tire care and maintenance. A Association of Canada key advocacy goal in the cold-weather The Tire and Rubber Association of months is to raise awareness about Canada (TRAC) is the national trade safe winter driving and the safety and association representing tire makers, performance benefits of winter tires. rubber products manufacturers and Submitted by the Tire and Rubber importers as well as rubber recyclers Association of Canada.

R0013566200_1126

New shipment data from the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) suggests tire retailers are gearing up for increased consumer demand for winter tires. These shipment increases are due in part to measures by government, industry and stakeholders to educate drivers about the superior traction and stopping distance of winter tires. The data is part of a comprehensive new Winter Tire Report released by TRAC to support consumer education efforts by government and industry stakeholders. The report details the latest winter tire shipment, market, usage and test data, along with recommendations to increase winter road safety and build awareness of the benefits of winter tires. In particular, TRAC reports there has been significant growth in winter tire shipments to dealers, with a 35 per cent increase in Manitoba, a 25 per cent increase in Ontario, and a 14 per cent increase in the Atlantic provinces. There are many reasons why tire dealers are ramping up for increased consumer demand for winter tires, but it is no coincidence that it is the provinces who are showing leadership in terms of government programs are also showing the largest increases in winter tire shipments. In Manitoba, the provincial government implemented an innovative lowinterest winter tire financing program in 2014 and is continuing the program for the 2015/16 winter. In Ontario, the provincial government recently introduced a mandatory insurance discount program for drivers who use winter tires as part of their initiative to improve road safety and to lower insurance premiums for Ontario drivers. A 2014 survey conducted by Leger for TRAC, shows that outside of Quebec, where winter tires are the law, only half of Canadian motorists use winter

Going green helps buy new laptops at Almonte District High School Going “green” can really pay off. Staff and students at Almonte and District High School (ADHS) learned that lesson recently when they accepted 160 new laptops and tablets. The devices were paid for in part through savings gained by bypassing school printers and sending classroom assignments, assessments and other important documents digitally. The initiative made the portables available to English, history, French, geography, math, intermediate and e-learning classes and saved $15,000 last year in printing costs for paper, ink cartridges and other supplies. While most of the funding for the

devices came through the Upper Canada District School Board information technology department, and a grant from the Elizabeth Kelly Foundation, savings from going paperless covered a significant portion of the cost, said ADHS principal Ron Ferguson. Aside from the savings, there were other reasons the school made the switch, he said. “Aside from the environmental reasons of saving on paper – and saving more trees – there are pedagogical reasons,” said Ferguson. “Very few people in the business world nowadays print things out and hand them in. Most documents are submitted digitally and

these are the kinds of skills and practices we want our students to adopt. We want them to revise, edit and learn to submit their work digitally because that’s what they’ll do when they’re in the workforce.” The savings were realized after the school culture changed last year, said Ferguson. All printers were removed from the classrooms and workplaces, and staff and students were encouraged to submit assignments, assessments and other documents by email or services such as OneDrive. The goal was to use savings to increase student access to technology, as requested by students through the Tell Them From

Me survey. Teachers have been trained on Microsoft applications to allow them to mark and submit documents electronically. The new devices were the latest step in a technological upgrade at the school, which has also seen the expansion of digital TVs or SMART Boards

to all classrooms. Ferguson hopes budget savings can continue through going paperless, adding the school forecasts another $5,000 in savings in the coming year on printing costs. Submitted by Mark Calder, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

Safety Tips

Heating: If you have not used your fireplace or woodstove for a long time, have it checked by a professional technician before using it. Your chimney may be blocked or damaged, which could cause a fire or a build-up of carbon monoxide inside the home.

Safety Tips

Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically-connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

CDSBEO Just-Us Youth Day highlights social justice initiatives The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting Nov. 17 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO hosted its annual Just-Us Youth Day, a symposium for more than 210 Grade 10 students from across the Board’s ten secondary schools. The day gives students an opportunity to learn about the good work being done by not-for-profit organizations and individuals committed to social justice initiatives. Each year the presentations are developed around a theme; this year’s theme was “Ignite the Light of Justice,” inspiring students to become informed and act on social justice causes. Catholic student trustee, Thomas Mooney, along with student senate members Matthew Dods and Mackenzie Cogley, both from Notre Dame Catholic High School, outlined the specifics of the day to the board. Students began the morning with a liturgy, followed by a keynote address given by Ryan Hreljac, assistant project manager and founder of the Ryan’s Well Foundation. Ryan shared his personal story of how an ordinary boy accom-

plished extraordinary things beginning at the young age of six. Ryan’s humble account of how the Ryan’s Well Foundation was established and built over the last 15 years inspired the young audience. Mooney reflected, “Ryan is a graduate of our school system. He spoke to us about his inspiration for building wells, many of his challenges, and how he managed to accomplish all that he has over the last 15 years. By grade three, he had raised over $30,000, which is an incredible accomplishment for someone so young.” “Ryan has made a tremendous impact on many lives, and he spoke to students to inspire them to ignite the light,” added Cogley. Students attended additional workshops in the afternoon, which discussed how they can make a difference in local and global communities. The workshops, which were designed to move students to act on social justice causes, were presented by a wide variety of groups including: Free the Children, India Village Poverty Relief Fund, Development and Peace, and Best Buddies Program, among others. The day was organized and

facilitated at all levels by the Catholic Student Senate and the Department of Religious and Family Life Education. The senate has representation from all CDSBEO Catholic secondary schools under the leadership of Mooney, who also played the role of emcee for the day. The planning and organizing of the event gave the students an opportunity to demonstrate their leadership skills. Technology in the classroom The technology and tools being used in CDSBEO schools are designed to improve learning outcomes and provide access to the most effective means of learning and teaching. The Blended Learning Model, combined with Office 365 and BrightSpace, have allowed continued development in the area of 21st century learning skills. The CDSBEO community is engaging students in their own learning, and is harnessing the capacity of technology to optimize and amplify student achievement in meaningful and authentic ways through forward-thinking online platforms. Brent Bovaird, principal of curriculum, and Andrew

Lovett, technology enabled learning and teaching consultant, presented to the board, an overview of how technology is facilitating blended learning in board classrooms and how this model is allowing students to become producers of knowledge, rather than simply consumers of knowledge. “Blended learning is a pedagogical strategy that combines the use of technology and traditional teaching methods,” explained Lovett. “The model creates an ideal learning environment that incorporates the benefits of face-to-face learning and instruction with the integration of computer technology in the classroom, creating a highly engaging learning environment that meets the needs of all students.” While working in Office 365, the teacher can use this technology to organize students using available features such as class

calendars, targeted work spaces for groupings of students and news posts linked to curriculum content. In addition, the environment can be used to build lessons with videos, links to websites, and other features, all in one place for the convenience of both students and teachers. “A paperless classroom feature also allows teachers to leverage an online dropbox for assignments giving them the ability to provide descriptive feedback, in text or audio form, for both formative and summative learning activities,” added Bovaird. Educators can assess, report on, and improve student performance with built-in analytic tools that use data to help them make more proactive decisions. Teachers have access to progress dashboards that give ata-glance feedback on student learning. Furthermore, teachers can easily identify learners

who may be having difficulty grasping curriculum concepts or assignment expectations. Administration and teaching staff are also using BrightSpace to access resources and collaborate. The CDSBEO curriculum department is hosting its Collaborative Learning Networks and is providing session content and resources through the platform. “Principals and lead teachers can use the site resources during staff meetings or CPLCs with their school teams. We are also offering concise, real-time webinar sessions to provide professional development opportunities to school staff in 20 minutes after school on the site through an initiative called PD in 20,” noted Bovaird. Both BrightSpace and Office 365 are accessible online through any device connected to the Internet, making it a practical tool for all users. See YOUTH page 27

The first section, Learning About Technology, highlights key features of various programs and applications available to students. The second section, Connecting With Technology, demonstrates how learning can be enhanced using visual, kinesthetic and auditory tools and approaches, while the third section, Empowering Through Technology provides a forum for sharing and collaboration for educators. “Through observation of the website statistics and page views, we are able to get a better idea of the multimedia resources that are most used, and then develop more of these types of resources. Instructional videos are the most useful, as they give step by step demonstrations, and teach educators how to use the apps in ways that are most useful to students. They are also learning how to combine different apps to improve outcomes,” explained Lee. A tiered learning model has been developed to help guide educators with the available technology. The website resources identify and categorize software and supports as being either beneficial for all, necessary for some, or essential for a few students in the classroom. The tiered model of sup-

Assistive technology: Building capacity in our classrooms The special education department has worked diligently at using technology to empower students with special education learning needs. Technological resources enable learners to collaborate, learn, and demonstrate their learning. To help build knowledge, understanding and effective applications and strategies for using the assistive technology, the special education department has created a website for educational assistants and teachers. The website demonstrates exciting ways that technology is being used in CDSBEO classrooms, and ways technology enables students to experience success. Jameson Lee, co-ordinator of assistive technology, presented an overview of the resources available to educators through the Assistive Technology website to the board of trustees, along with some examples of how technology is helping to support students. The well-developed site has three sections that provide training for staff to develop their expertise at different levels. It includes slides, text and videos to support staff and student development.

port is a student-centred approach for understanding how technology tools empower students to become independent learners. By identifying student strengths, school teams are able to personalize assistive and adaptive technology supports for learning. “The specific software featured can be used to do a variety of things such as read text, write spoken words, organize thinking, magnify words, highlight and project images from several devices on the smart board simultaneously. Each of these tools support a different need which enhances engagement for a variety of students, depending on their individual learning needs,” noted Lee. All students benefit when technology is integrated into regular instruction through Universal Design for Learning approaches and Differentiated Instruction. Assistive Technology is necessary for some students who require additional scaffold supports. Adaptive Technology is required for learning by a few students because it enables opportunities to expand their engagement and independence.

KYMTC launches 12th season on Dec. 11 with A Christmas Carol Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

The Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company (KYMTC) is set to take audiences on a journey to find the true spirit of Christmas through song with their take on Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol, Dec. 11 to 20. Since September, cast and crew have been hard at work on the full-length musical adaptation, which not only serves as the launch of KYMTC’s 12th season but marks their 20th production since they were founded in 2002. According to director Barb Lacelle, the final cast was chosen in June and since then, KYMTC has been hard at work on the intense production. “We want to really engage the audience with our shows, so they feel they are included in the story,” she commented. “This is an excellent group. They’re hardworking, they’re enthusiastic, they’re creative and it’s a really challenging show. The entire show is basically sung, so it’s difficult.” Many will be familiar with the Dickens tale, first published in 1843, where the wealthy old curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve, prompting him to change his ways and embrace his fellow man. While it is a story filled with ghosts and death, it’s a popular tale that reaffirms the importance of family and the true meaning of the holidays. Taking on the role of Scrooge is KYMTC veteran Jacob Nickerson, Grade 12 student at St. Michael Catholic High School. “I auditioned for a couple of parts (in A Christmas Carol), but didn’t

have a preference, so when I got the Scrooge part, it was a bit of a surprise,” he said, adding that he remains on stage for much of the production. “It’s a good challenge, but hard to get a water break.” In preparation for his take on Scrooge, Nickerson said “there’s been lots of memorization and I’ve been trying to act grumpy as much as I can, which is a lot more tiring than you’d think.” “Having to hunch over (as Scrooge) for most of the show collapses your lungs, so it makes it harder to belt it out,” he added. This is actually the first leading role for Nickerson and it’s a bittersweet one as he’s in his final year with the theatre company. “It’s been a lot of fun. It’s like a big family,” he said of KYMTC. “This being my last year, I have mixed feelings about this production. It’s really sad it’s coming to an end.” Rounding out the cast is Zach van Noppen as Scrooge’s employee, Bob Cratchit; Lucas Colwell plays Scrooge’s former business partner Jacob Marley; Maya Mohammed takes on Tiny Tim; Azaria Shams is the Ghost of Christmas Past; while Maddie and Sarah Bolland are the Ghost of Christmas Present with Pyper Johnston as the Ghost of Christmas Future and Mrs. Fezziwig. Sam Horner will play the role of Scrooge’s first employer Mr. Fezziwig; Tatum McGill-Tataraciuc is Emily; Maddi Lennox will be Sally Anderson; Mrs. Mops will be played by Aby Robbens; Alex Forrester is Old Joe; Regan Blair is Grace Smythe; Melissa Nickerson takes on Scrooge’s mother and Isaiah Vepsalainen is young

master builder Neil Conroy; scenic designer Bonnie Selleck; costume designer Carolyn Bruce; Susan Barkley, in charge of properties design; sound designer Peter Miller; lighting designers Kevin Colwell, Ben Primeau; Clayton Barkley, in charge of special effects; choreographer Laura Anderson; and back stage managers Catherine Robbens and Leigh McGrath. Karen Bedard handled marketing and advertising for the production. Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company’s production of A Christmas Carol opens Friday, Dec. 11 at the Urbandale Arts Centre within the

North Grenville Municipal Theatre (285 County Road 44 in Kemptville). Show time is at 7:30 p.m. It continues Saturday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m., as well as Wednesday, Dec. 16, Friday, Dec. 18, Saturday, Dec. 19 at 7:30 p.m., and wraps up Sunday, Dec. 20 at 2 p.m. Tickets, at $15 per person, are available at Scotiabank (300 Colonnade Drive). Those interested in special group rates for 10 or more people, can contact 613-829-2168. For more information on the theatre company, visit www.kymtc.org.

New nursery school set to open in Kemptville on Nov. 30 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

For all your latest

the building now houses an expanded infant program, an expanded before and after school care program and an expanded Casa (age three to six) program. “The infant room was custom designed, with low sinks and toilets,” said Hughes. “The infant room is now larger and features a private fenced yard.” She explained with the expansion of the Casa program, there are now an additional 24 spaces. The whole top floor of the new building, aside from offices, is now dedicated to before and after care; creating 30 more spaces for local children. “What we did in this area is asked the kids what they wanted,” said Hughes. “So they have a foosball table, a Beyblade stadium and couches.” She explained the original MMA building is now undergoing renovations to make the spaces larger, including the expansion of the toddler program (10 additional spaces) and the kitchen. “I believe we are the only facility in North Grenville with a

full gym,” said Hughes, “which is great during the winter months. The kids can still get exercise on the coldest days.” The grand opening of the expanded facility will take place on Dec. 3, from 6 to 8 p.m. “Everyone is welcome to come out to see the new building,” said Hughes. The event will feature a ribbon cutting, tours and refreshments. The MMA, which focuses on life skills training, is now licensed for nearly 200 daycare spaces. Prior to the new building, the facility could only cater to 107 local children. For more information, email april@madisonmontessori.ca or heather@madisonmontessori.ca or call (613)-258-1931. “With the new building, we’ve also created nine new local jobs,” said Hughes.

R0013569066/1126

A new nursery school is coming to town. The new Madison Montessori Academy building in Kemptville will house the nursery school, with spaces for 24 kids between the ages of twoand-a-half and six. “It will encompass the five areas of the Montessori curriculum,” said owner April Hughes. “So the kids will focus on circle and work periods. It’s a great way to prepare them for kindergarten, or as an alternative for kindergarten.” She explained many parents aren’t comfortable with their three and four-year-olds starting full-time kindergarten, so the nursery school is a good alternative. The nursery school, which opens on Nov. 30, runs from 9 a.m. to noon. “The kids can come in to learn and get socialized,” said Hughes. The nursery school will be run by a highly recommended educator; Myrla Cavanagh.

“My education includes a degree in Child Psychology, as well as a Primary/Junior Education degree with my certification in Montessori training almost complete,” said Cavanagh. “I spent several years as an Occasional Teacher but ultimately chose to stay home to raise our three children. Now that they are all older, I’ve been fortunate to work as a Relief Teacher for the past couple of years at Madison Montessori. I’m very excited to now head up their new Nursery School Program! To this program, I will bring enthusiasm as well as a wealth of both professional and personal experience. The program will foster healthy socialization as well as kindergarten readiness. I plan to also integrate my love of the arts and creativity as well as my appreciation of our natural world into a unique Nursery School Program.” So far, 25 per cent of the nursery school spaces are filled. The new 7,800 square foot building at MMA was completed at the end of October. Apart from the nursery school,

Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works, provided the committee with a verbal update on the Carmichael drain maintenance. “The Carmichael drain is a municipal drain,” said Dunlop. “The section we are looking at cleaning out this year is from Crozier Road, just north of the transfer station, crossing Rock Road and ending just before Beach Road. This clean-up was put out for tender. We received four submissions and are rewarding it to Blair Harris Construction, with the lowest priced tender at $17,402.” She explained the process for the clean-up began Nov. 16 and will continue into December. She said property owners have already, or will shortly, receive notice of the maintenance. “As well as an estimate of what their required contribution will be for the completion of this drain clean-out,” said Dunlop. Burritts Rapids secondary plan Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, said back in October, council committed to undertaking a secondary plan for necessary infrastructure improvements in Burritts Rapids. “It’s an extremely historic site within the community of North Grenville,” said Symon. “It’s got a very rich history, going back to the American Revolution and the Empire Loyalists who settled this part of the province. Our Official Plan already has a number of policies related to Burritts Rapids.” He explained there is potential to enhance and improve those policies. See Official plan page K5

Official Plan review update at the Committee of Whole From page K3

He said a draft scope of work for the Burritts Rapids secondary plan was before the committee for consideration. “It’s fairly heavy on consultation with the community,” said Symon. “It’s very important they are part of this project going forward. We’re looking forward to having an initial kick-off meeting with residents later this month. Then there would be a series of tasks, where we would be looking at existing policies within the United Counties and City of Ottawa Official Plans, which have very good policies related to hamlets. We’d also be doing a number of background analyses and coming up with a series of policy suggestions, to take back to the public for discussion. Ultimately, there would be an Official Plan amendment process.” The committee recommended the council to present the scope of work for the Burritts Rapids secondary plan to residents of Burritts Rapids for their review. Official Plan review update Phil Mosher, Planner, said in March, 2015, a special meeting of council was held to discuss the five-year review of

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Monday, December 7 at 6:30 pm in the Council Chambers at the Municipal Centre. For agenda information, please contact the Clerk’s Office or visit the Municipal website.

Background The 2013 Master Plan Update recommends a servicing strategy for the Northwest Quadrant of Kemptville. A 1.6 km gravity sanitary main extension is required in order to provide municipal sanitary services along County Road 44 north of County Road 43. This new sewer will connect to the proposed North West Quadrant sanitary pump station. The North Grenville “Integrated Community Trails Strategy” identifies the need for a continuous multi-use pathway along the County Road 44 corridor, approximately 2.8 km long running from River Road in the north, southerly to County Road 43. The pathway will be generally located on the west side of County Road 44. The Municipality of North Grenville retained Novatech to prepare a detailed design and provide project management services during the tender and construction phases of the sewer and multi-use pathway projects. Preliminary routing and alternative cross sections have been developed for the County Road 44 corridor.

The truth about poverty

y oldest son and I were discussing poverty over dinner a few nights ago. I was trying to explain to him – a seven-year-old Canadian – what it means to go without. Of course, he has never had to go without, because I have always worked hard to ensure that he doesn’t. He has the luxuries of a roof over his head, heat, food in his belly and clean clothes on his back. Although, he doesn’t quite understand that these things are luxuries. He asked me to show him poverty. I opened my computer and punched in poverty. Images of starving children, slums and humans rummaging through dumps appeared. I could tell immediately he was shocked. He asked me why their ribs were clearly visible through their skin. I told him they had no food to eat and their bodies were essentially eating themselves. I looked him in the eyes and told him these people – mere skeletal figures in the photos – were likely all dead. He asked me why they didn’t have food. I explained to him, in the simplest way possible, that there aren’t any grocery stores where these people live. And even if there were, they have no money to buy food. They have to live on what they can grow or find, which is becoming more difficult as the climate changes. He asked me why other people in the world don’t bring them food because we have so much.

bought a carton of cream with the expiry date of January 9, 2016. As I read the date I realized by the time this cream expires, my granddaughter will be born. Baby season is ramping up around here on the Fisher farm. Saturday was Anastasia’s surprise baby shower. I am truly amazed that we managed to keep it secret all this time. We had a little help, because she was a bit preoccupied. Earlier in the week, Annie got a call from one of her husband’s friends. They were planning to kidnap him for a Baby Bachelor Party. Apparently this is a thing. Around 1:30 in the afternoon on the 21st, the Wiggins were sitting in front of the TV, watching an old Anthony Hopkins movie. They were just getting to the scene of a bear attack when four men, their faces covered, entered the house from four different doors. It was a bit of a shock, but not all that terrifying, because although they were wearing hockey masks, they were also carrying cheerleader pompoms. And one of them was in a Scooby Doo costume. Anastasia, who was in on the whole

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

I told him there are lots of people that bring them food, but not everyone can be saved. He didn’t say anything for a few minutes – just stared at the images in front of him. Then he looked at me and said ‘good thing we live in Canada.’ This was the hardest part of the conversation for me because I then had to turn to my innocent son and explain hundreds of thousands of people, just in Ontario, live in poverty. Children who don’t have enough food, or heat or a stable home. He turned to me and said ‘really?’ as though this information was shocking. I thought back to when I was a child and recalled I used to have a certain perception about poverty as well – starving Africans, but never white people. I know now that is, and always was, a misconception derived from lack of education on the matter. That’s when it struck me that my son has never been taught about poverty. I think all young children should learn the stark reality of the world. They should be made aware of the fact one billion people live extreme poverty daily.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Signs of the times

The winter season has turned the corner and is almost here. The low water levels at the Merrickville locks is another sign that summer has passed.

Ready for baby in the case of Anastasia, it is more reason to ensure she is in on the game. Otherwise she might panic and go into early labour, and no one wants that to happen. So Annie had plenty to talk about when I picked her up to take her “boot shopping”. That’s what I told her, Diana Fisher anyway.

go “boot shopping”. She was still re-enacting the events of her afternoon when we pulled into the driveway and she saw the pink balloons the Farmer had tied there. “Oh, Mom!” she said, finally cluing in. There were so many cars, we had to park in the hay field up the drive. She was crying before we even got in the door. We played a couple of games with our guests, while the little mama sat in her decorated chair of honour and opened her gifts, for two hours straight. It’s a good thing she grabbed a plate of sandwiches and a glass of punch before she sat down. Many of the things she received

were hand made, and some barely-used items were handed down. The Wiggins family is pretty well equipped now, and that baby can come today if she has to (although we hope she doesn’t). Anastasia was very pleased to discover that there actually was a pan of lasagna at her baby shower. And I ran out last week to get her a pair of Ugg-style boots for her swollen mama feet, so she had that surprise as well. Just over a month to go until the due date. Christmas will be the second most important thing happening around here this holiday season. dianafisher1@gmail.com theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Letter to the Editor

2015-2016 Season

The homeless issue is not an easy one to fix I commend Jennifer Westendorp for her editorial on homelessness (“Hidden homeless,” Nov. 12, 2015). She has penned a passionate and lucid piece on a crisis that is not going away any time soon. If anything, as she points out, we can only expect to see increasing numbers of homeless people unless we act upon what causes homelessness in the first place. My only substantial criticism of Ms. Westendorp’s editorial is that she did not put some numbers behind her argument. According to the publication The State of Homelessness in Canada 2014 (available at www.homelesshub.ca <http://

www.homelesshub.ca/> ) roughly 35,000 Canadians are homeless on any given night, and approximately 200,000 Canadians experience homelessness each year (and it is emphasized that these are likely very low estimates). The report goes on to cite a number of disturbing statistics but the one that stuck with me is that we can expect more than 7,000 women and children to be found in ‘violence against women shelters’ on an average night. I believe that we ignore this issue at our moral peril, and I thank Ms Westendorp for bringing the issue to her readers. Yours sincerely Kerry Badgley, Kemptville

Preparing for winter at public works Greetings fellow residents of North Grenville! Another summer has blitzed past at an unfortunately high rate of speed. The sun and hot weather has begun its annual retreat southward. And I’m sure you have noticed, as I have , the quickly cooling temperatures and the early darkening of our skies as evening arrives. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this. But it is once more time to look forward to winter’s bounteous gifts. Well, okay - more mountainous than bounteous - mountainous in terms of the amount of snow we’ll be getting. Oh, and the cold too. Guess I should remind you of that as well, right? So, it occurs me that we should refurbish some of our information concerning what to expect from our hard-working municipal Public Works Division in terms of winter services which they provide year after year to keep the busy people of North Grenville on the road to work, school and a plethora of activities associated with living a full life - yes, even in the middle of our ferocious winter. To that end, I have asked a few questions of Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works. My questions and the answers to them given by Dunlop follow; What briefly is the range of services provided by Public Works during the winter season? “Public Works completes snow removal on all municipal roadways both gravel and pavement, sidewalks and some parking lots,” said Dunlop. “Paved roadways are plowed of snow as required and receive a sand/salt mixture as weather dictates for the removal of snow and ice. Gravel roads are scarified and plowed by graders but do not receive any salt as the salt exacerbates spring thaw boils in gravel roadways. Sidewalks are plowed of snow as required and

receive a salt mixture as weather dictates. The basis of road service standards are set out under the Minimum Maintenance Standards of the Municipal Act and provides Public Works and the travelling public with an idea of what to expect. It provides the minimum guidelines for how long after a storm the road needs to be plowed and how much snow must fall before we should deploy equipment. It is a guideline only. The road superintendent based on past experience, knows our roads and how each type of storm typically affects our roadway system and the resources are deployed to clear the roads as quickly as possible. When they are not out removing snow or ice from the roads and sidewalks after a storm event, crews are filling potholes, repairing signs and maintaining equipment.” What is the size of the Public Works road team? What equipment do they have? What is the total length of the roads and streets to be maintained during our not-so-gentle winter storms? “North Grenville has 10 full time road crew, four winter contracts and a minimum of four casual call-in staff on stand-by 24 hours a day during the winter season to assist with winter maintenance,” said Dunlop. “We utilize dump trucks equipped with plows and sanders, graders with ice blades, sidewalk plows with sander boxes, a loader and backhoe, and a variety of 4x4 vehicles equipped with snow plows and sanding boxes. “ Submitted by Councillor Jim Bertram, in discussions with Director of Public Works Karen Dunlop. (This is part one of the letter, which will continue in next week’s edition of the Advance).

DEAR EDITOR;

Raya Atkin presented 27th Raymond Jacques Jr. Memorial Award on Nov. 19 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

A bittersweet moment for any parent; Raymond Jacques Sr. presented the Raymond Jacques Jr. Memorial Award for cross country running to Raya Atkin at Merrickville Public School on Nov. 19. This is the 27th year of the award, which is presented in honour of Jacques Jr., who died tragically on Nov. 26, 1988. He was playing by the water at Lions Park in Merrickville when one of his friends threw his shoe out onto the ice. When he ventured out to retrieve it, the ice gave out beneath him. He was under the water for two-and-a-half hours before finally being found. Raymond was still breathing, but despite the best efforts of doctors and nurses at the hospital in Smiths Falls, could not be saved. He was nine-years-old. Jacques Sr. knew he had to do something special to commemorate his son’s life, so he created the Raymond Jacques Jr. award for cross country running, which is given out to a student at MPS who loves to run each year. This year’s recipient of the award is the daughter of Jacques Jr.’s best friend from MPS. “It’s amazing how life comes full circle,” said Jacques Sr. “27-years-ago, we lost a student from this school far too young,” said teacher Matt Bennett. “The message is how dangerous ice and open water can be.” He explained Atkin is a great runner, dedicated student and just a pleasure to be around.

“Every year, this award goes to a student who is dedicated to practice, gets results at competitions and someone with a high moral character,” said Bennett. “All of these qualities describe Raya perfectly.” Donna Alberts, along with Jacques Sr., presented the plaque to Atkin. She was Jacques Junior’s kindergarten teacher 31 years ago. “Raymond (Jr.) always had a big smile,” said Alberts. “He was always so helpful – he was always willing to be a helper.” She said Jacques Jr. loved running and art. “He loved the outdoors,” said Alberts. “He was such a nice boy. I just loved him.”

GARDENER’S CORNER

R0033541299/1119

Comfort and Conversation Today was a very strange day. Angie and I hosted a luncheon for friends and family. It was a pot luck affair. Homemade soup, crusty bread, fresh salads, ham and scalloped potatoes, a home baked cake and lots of tea and coffee. Comfort food and conversation. Talk that centred around the latest terrorist attacks in Paris, refugees, politics, and yes, gardening. To juxtapose our harvest bounty and the warmth around the dining room table with the tragedy inflicted on Paris and those facing the approach of winter in refugee camps was not lost on us. We talked about these things at length. There were varied opinions, all discussed with civility. No angry words, no raised voices. A mutual respect. I found myself thinking about how we could harbour different opinions and yet respect and consider other ideas. We have just come through a Federal election. We select our leaders by will, not by weapons. We agree to disagree and we live peacefully. Free to indulge our interests and live in relative comfort. Free to travel and associate and protest and grow a family or a garden. This last summer was almost perfect for growing things. Just the right mix of rain and sun. The farmers in the area are reporting a 30% increase in crop yields. Our garden was amazing in so many ways. The flowers, the fruit, the veggies and of course the weeds. Our lunch was like a mini Thanksgiving. Warmth and light, food and friendship. If this

world is ever going to get better we need to extend that to others around the world. We need to lead by example. The values of compromise and compost. How to grow on every level. Hatred and violence will always be returned in kind. It seems we never learn from the past. Our small gathering brought home the fact that things can get better. So what does it take? We all plant seeds and hope. This is exactly what we need to do around the world. Plant seeds and hope. Plant seeds of tolerance and hope for a harvest of harmony. We in Canada can be world leaders. Not in aggression but acceptance. The gardening metaphor is no accident. If we want to stop killing people and displacing them from their homes, we need to show the world how it can be. How we can all improve by growing. This was a tough column to write. It’s politically charged and I’ve looked at every word several times but we can lead by example. Do whatever you can to plant a seed. Plants have a way of producing seeds in exponential numbers. As John Lennon once wrote, “Imagine”. Our good fortune is exportable. We need to show the world how we grow in Canada and how we can help. We need more people to sit down to comfort food and conversation. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

KYC Accessory Event

St. Mike’s builds community partnerships with The Branch Student artwork is now on display at The Branch Restaurant in Kemptville. Everyone is invited to come and view the first installment of a rotating show that highlights the talents of grade 9 through 12 student artists. No two rotations of artwork will be the same. Each one will showcase a variety of imagery created by students in different grade levels. The first selection of artwork includes large scale drawings and some smaller acrylic paintings. We are very thankful to The Branch Restaurant for opening their doors to us and being a great supporter of the arts within our community. This community partnership is an important resource for students as it shows how the knowledge and skills acquired through the study of the curriculum relates to life beyond school. The Branch is enriching not only the educational experience of the students but also the life of our com-

munity. Check out their website www. thebranchrestaurant.ca for more information and upcoming events. When Ms. Melnick, the Visual Art teacher at St. Michael CHS, first approached The Branch about creating a community partnership, Nicole LaBlanc, co owner of the Branch Restaurant, was immediately on board. She quickly pointed out a few great spots within the restaurant that could be used to showcase student artwork and was open to displaying a variety of works. This year the Visual Art students at St. Michael will host the second annual student art show which will include all of the works created throughout the year. You can expect to see some paintings, drawings, pottery and sculptures just to name a few.

Horticultural club of Smiths Falls hosts AGM, silent auction The Annual General Meeting for the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society marked the conclusion of activities for 2015. Members were treated to an evening packed with a wide variety of activities starting off with a mixer that included time to peruse the fine array of silent auction items. This was followed by a delicious turkey dinner supplied by the ladies of Branch 95 Royal Canadian Legion. Thank you to the ladies for another wonderful meal. A very dynamic guest speaker, Mary Reid, gave a presentation enjoyed by all. She spoke in detail about the methods of forcing bulbs so that members could enjoy some colourfull displays during the winter months. Volunteers from the audience participated by actually going through the steps necessary for successful preparation. Mary spends her gardening season operating her Green Thumb Garden Centre in Nepean. Outgoing members of the executive were thanked including Bob Stanley, Kathleen Lang and Christy Melvin. Bob was instrumental in organizing the very delightful members garden tour around Merrickville this year. This also included a visit to Linda and Steve Svarckopf’s lovely setting on the banks of Rosedale Creek. Kathleen wore many hats over the years but specialized in either judging or retaining judges for our flower shows as well as organizing the shows. Kathleen has been steadfast in encouraging members to participate in the design aspect of the shows, attending various OHA and District 2 events and offering advice on virtually any topic involving horticulture. Christy volunteered

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society in many capacities including our monthly newsletter, secretary and organizing the Fun Flower Shows. Thank you to all of you for your devotion and time. Debra Bellevue chaired our nominating committee for the executive and directors for the upcoming year. Your executive for 2016 consists of: Debra Bellevue-President, Brian Bellevue-Vice President, Anita Frigan-both Treasurer and Secretary, Hope Bell-Past President. Returning directors are Darlene Findlay, Joe Findlay, Lorna Stewart, Charles McLenaghan and Anneke Wilson. One new director, Patti Ann Baigent has joined the team. Remember, we welcome all members to become involved with the board, simply contact Debra or other board members. Our guest representing OHA District 2, Linda Bartlett, conducted the swearing in of the above. Linda then gave a comprehensive outline of our district two activities for the past and upcoming year. Thank you Linda for attending and assisting with

our evening. Kathleen Lang presented the awards for the year as follows: Horticulture-Aline Hicks, Design-Lorna Stewart, Novice-Anneke Wilson, Fruit and Vegetables-Lorna Stewart and photography-Brian Bellevue. Congratulations, your hard work and consistency paid off. These awards are based on the accumulation of the most points. This requires regular submission of entries into our monthly contests. Linda Bartlett returned to render her decision for the centerpiece winners. Cash prize incentives for the table centerpieces resulted in very creative designs by some of our members. Thank you all for participating and adding your décor to our tables. Top prize went to Linda Svarckopf, second to Deborah Bowker and team, third to Jean Holmes. A fierce bidding battle for these then ensued as our emcee for the night, Jeanne Dagley, conducted one of her famous auctions. Our society wishes to thank Performance Printing of Metroland Media and reporters Ashley Kulp and Stacey Roy for their assistance by publishing our monthly articles and Garden of the Month results. We appreciate your time and the space given to support us throughout the year. It has been an exciting and fulfilling 10th year for the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society. Meetings will resume on the third Tuesday of February. Safe and happy holidays to everyone.

After long wait, fans get complete Mockingjay picture MOVIE: Mockingjay Part 2 STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutchinson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth banks, Julianne Moore and Donald Sutherland DIRECTOR: Francis Lawrence RATING: PG13 I don’t like watching half a film. Was I still looking forward to Mockingjay Part 2? Of course. Was I happy about waiting a year to see it? No. Where the first part cuts to black is where the second part opens. Peeta (Josh Hutchinson) has been rescued, but his mind has been shattered by President Snow (Donald Sutherland). The rebels continue to advance on the Capitol, and Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is resolved to see it to its end. As the horrors of war take their toll, Katniss decides the

My Take

Mark haskins

only way to end the war is to kill Snow. Katniss goes to the front line hoping for a chance to get to Snow, but President Coin (Julianne Moore) isn’t going to let the face of the rebellion go alone. Katniss is soon surrounded by her own squad including her media team, Gale (Liam Hemsworth), and Finnick (Sam Clafin). The Capitol has been littered with traps created by the Gamemakers making the Capitol an arena. Katniss and her team go in to shoot promos for Coin. Then Peeta is sent to join them. It doesn’t make sense, but before

they can figure it out a trap goes off. With their squad leader dead and the Peacekeepers closing, Katniss makes her play. She takes control of the team and aims them at President Snow. With more than 70 trap-filled blocks between her and Snow the cost of killing Snow will be high. Higher than Katniss can know. If you’re going to break a film in half and make your fans wait a year to see the whole thing, it had better be worth it. By and large Mockingjay Part 2 is worth it. The amount of detail, the depth of character you get into, all the subtle little things you can include because you have the space to do it all makes it worthwhile. However, both Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2 suffer from being split in half. With a whole year between films it isn’t easy to get back into the story.

Complete, provided you have five hours to kill, Mockingjay will be a rare film. The kind that sweeps you up in its story and carries you through a range of emotion. Broken in two it loses a lot of its ability to affect the audience. Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland are fantastic. Josh Hutchinson isn’t who I would have picked to play Peeta which just proves it’s a good thing I don’t cast movies. Haymitch is and remains my favourite character, and Woody Harrelson brings him to life better than I could have hoped for. Jennifer Lawrence, as always, doesn’t just play her part she becomes Katniss utterly and completely. Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2 are great films. Though the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Thank you to the staff at Lanark Lodge, especially in Honeysuckle Haven and associate director of care, Heather Duncan, for your kind and loving care over the past two years. Thanks to the doctors and nurses at the Perth Hospital for easing Dad’s pain in the last days of his life. To Father Brian McNally, for his comforting words and prayers with Dad at the hospital, we extend a special thank you. Also thanks to Dave Scotland and Roger Merkley at the Scotland Funeral Home for going that extra mile to honour our request and for their professional services conducted with kindness and grace. Thank you to Father DiRocco for his kind words which were a great comfort to the family, and to the organist and choir at St. Edwards Church for the beautiful music and hymns. Thank you to Dan Tremblay who played the Last Post at the gravesite. Dad was a brave soldier to the very end. Thanks also the Royal Canadian Legion in Westport for providing the delicious luncheon following the service. Thank you to the pallbearers: Doug Thomson, Jeff Gill, Teri Cota, Dale Cota, Nicole Bennett and Michael Lothian. Over the past few years many neighbours, especially Dave Moodie, Roger Byrne and Ron Fagan were always there whenever help was needed as Dad attempted to stay on the farm as his health deteriorated. So a final thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers. Your loving kindness was much appreciated and will always be remembered by our family. Pat, Kevin and families

JACQUES, Raymond Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In loving memory of a dear son who passed away November 26, 1988. Time speeds on, 27 years have passed Since death its gloom, its shadow cast. Within our home, where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light. I miss that light, and ever will, His vacant place there is none can fill. Down here I mourn, but not in vain, For up in heaven we will meet again. Love Dad

GILES, Edwina Isabel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away November 27, 2012. We little knew that morning, That God would call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, Your always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Forever remembered Richard, Haley, Kaitlyn Cherilyn, Rebecca and Dawson Elmer and K9 companion, Toby

On November 16th, 2015 at the age of 54, Terry passed away peacefully at the Lera House Group Home in Smiths Falls with his beloved family, staff and colleagues by his side. Beloved son of Olive Page (Alex) predeceased, brothers Rick (Debbie), Tim (nephew Derek, Niece Caren), Dave (Kim), (nephews Taylor, Rylan, nieces Lindsay and Danya). Terry went to the Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls for many years and took his job in the laundry very seriously. He was loved by all the staff and made friends with everyone. He loved his coffee and could coax any staff member to give him one, with his charming ways. Terry enjoyed all the activities at the center and the many outings he went on. He especially enjoyed choir and church. He was treated well and was happy there. He loved to come home for Christmas and summer holidays and see family but after a few days he wanted to get back to work. He had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;special friendâ&#x20AC;? he bonded with and he missed her terribly when he was away. She was an important part of Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, a soul mate for sure. When Rideau Regional closed Terry was fortunate to go to the Lera House Group Home run by The Mills Community Support Corporation, where he attended Day Program. His special friend was also at Lera Group Home. Terry was much loved by all the staff at his home. They were truly his family and he loved them all. His favorite color was red, his favorite food was McDonalds, his favorite saying was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi, how are ya?â&#x20AC;? His friendly smile could melt your heart. He will be truly missed by aunts, uncles and cousins and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He taught us a lot about life. I want to thank Dr. Mooney for being his doctor and Jean, Dr. Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nurse for the wonderful care they gave him, the Bayshore Health Centre, palliative care staff, especially Victoria, who I admire greatly, the Lera House staff, the PSW staff who were by his side through the night and above all, The Mills Community Support Corporation for their great insight on hiring the staff of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;angelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Lera House Group Home. I love them more than I can say. Special thanks to the people at the Day Program. Special thanks to my friend Joan and her family who have always made me welcome in their home in Carleton Place, bridging the distance from Temagami, while I visited Terry all these years. They loved Terry too. Our two families are very close. Donna, our family friend who brought Terry home to visit, on several occasions. Blair & Son Funeral Home are taking care of Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrangements. Terry will be cremated in his favorite red shirt. He will be buried with his dad in Sebright. We are planning a celebration of Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at his Lera House Group Home in the spring. All who can come will be welcome. Mom and Family

Loved and remembered, Nancy and Larry, Rick and Sheila, Donna and Alan, Sharon and Bill, Cheryl and Peter and families.

COYLES – In loving memory of a dear son Michael, who passed away too soon, November 29, 2014. I treasure every moment, you spent in life with me, I hoped to have you longer, But it wasn’t meant to be. Your end came fast and sudden, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. Dear God take him this message, To heaven up above, Tell him how much I miss him, And give him all my love. Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, Don’t cry Mom, I’m only sleeping, I will be with you, again someday. Loved and missed always Mom

And in our yard, a beautiful garden grows ablaze In memory of you, full of colour and sweet bouquets. And to you we will stay true, strong and brave, For you have shown us the way. Missing you Love, Mom, Dad and Ian

Food processing is not a four-letter word Don Mercer

As someone who has been involved in various aspects of the food industry for over thirty-five years, it is upsetting to hear “food processing” being repeatedly maligned. I cringe when I hear that it is “evil”, and that it completely destroys the goodness and nutritional aspects of the food we eat. Granted, fresh fruits and vegetables have advantages over their processed counterparts, but this does not mean that processed foods are to be regarded with contempt. Technically, washing and slicing a carrot that you pull from your garden is processing. However, this is not normally what we mean by “processing”, and most of us accept it because it is “transparent” without any misunderstood or hidden steps. Canning, drying, and freezing are common, commercially important, food processing methods. Unfortunately, we frequently paint the entire food processing spectrum with the same brush when it comes to the use of additives or preservatives. Many people find additives confusing, which in turn clouds their judgement about food processing. We cannot go into a detailed discussion in a brief article, since this is a huge emotionally-charged topic. Public opinion has done much to pressure the food industry into finding alternate methods of processing foods to create more user-friendly, understandable, and “clean” ingredient lines, which is truly a good thing. However, there is still a vocal outpouring of protest over the use of ingredients simply because of their chemical-sounding names, or the lack of familiarity about their true function in a specific product. We see fads that originate with people trying to avoid products, such as sugar, with little or no knowledge of the alternative they are using. Often these are endorsed by celebrity spokespersons, thereby adding to the frenzy. Certain alternatives may not be any better than what they are trying to replace. Rather than dwelling on these perceptions, let’s take a look at why we process foods and the benefits derived. Perhaps the most obvious reason for processing foods is to extend their storage life by slowing or preventing their spoilage. Typically, the culprits are microorganisms such as yeasts, molds, and bacteria – many of which

are capable of causing food-borne diseases. This brings into play the aspect of how processing can be used to enhance the degree of safety in the foods we consume. Pasteurization of milk is a good example of how a simple heating process has improved the safety of this source of nutrition. Processing also makes certain foods “edible” or “digestible”. Many of the starch-based foods we eat would not be digestible if the starches were not gelatinized by cooking. This includes something as simple as boiling a potato. Processing has provided today’s consumers with variety and convenience in their time-impoverished lifestyles. We don’t need to look too far to see how microwavable foods provide a wide range of meals that can be prepared in a matter of minutes. These and oven-ready meals allow us to have high-quality entrées stored in our home freezers with little risk of spoilage over time. Coupled with this is the diversity of international foods we now find in grocery stores - items that were never available to us in the past. Another thing we often fail to consider is how processing permits matching the supply of food with demand in the framework of both time and geography. In Canada, our growing seasons are limited by severe winters. Much of the food that is harvested is then processed for later use. We are also forced to rely on imported fresh produce during the off-season at increased costs to the consumer. Processing lets us to ship foods beyond our borders to other countries where there is either a need due to poor growing conditions, or there is a potential export market. In our global economy, many countries rely on such exports for financial reasons, or imports to support the nutritional needs of their citizens. The bottom line to food processing is that it provides a safe, sustainable, consistent, and nutritious supply of high quality food to consumers around the world. So, before you condemn food processing, you may want to consider where we would be without it, and not think of it as a fourletter word. As always, we need to keep a balance in our food consumption patterns and recognize the role of food processing in it.

What No One Tells You about Mammography It’s been said that, “All would be well if there were no buts”. Unfortunately, for women there have always been several crucial “buts” about the benefits of mammography. Now, a new report from the American Cancer Society (ACS), says that routine mammograms may do harm if started before 50 years of age. So, what other “buts” don’t the ACS and other organizations tell women about mammograms? Timing is vital is many things in Dr. Gifford-Jones life. But for years few experts could agree on the best time to start routine mammograms. The Canadian Association of Radiologists picked 40 years of age as prime time. The International Agency for Research on Cancer pulled age 50 out of the hat. In short, no one had a 100 percent answer. Nor do I, as one would require the Wisdom of Solomon to know. But some facts are known, and the most vital one is never mentioned to women in any discussion about mammography. There’s a huge difference between diagnosing cervical cancer and breast cancer. That’s the reason more women survive cervical cancer than malignancies of the breast. And it’s unethical that it is never mentioned because it’s plain old-fashioned horse sense. Luckily, the Pap test for cervical cancer examines mucus removed from the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, which is easily seen during a pelvic examination. Microscopic examination is then able to detect even pre-malignant cells or cells that are already cancerous. Unfortunately, there’s no way to remove cells from inside the breast for microscopic testing. Doctors have to rely on mammography which cannot detect cells. Consequently, mammography is actually a “lump diagnosis”. Good sense tells you that it’s only when a lump becomes larger, that x-rays can detect it. Some experts say this requires several years. In the meantime cancerous cells can spread to other parts of the body. So, when the Cancer Society or any other organization states mammograms diagnose early cancer, it’s a deceptive remark. What they should say is that mammography diagnoses breast cancer as early as possible using X-rays. But it can never achieve the accuracy of the Pap test. Those who fail to make this distinction will not be amused by this column, as my remarks are like damning Motherhood and apple pie. They will argue that mammography does save lives and this is true, but the test also comes with questionable baggage. For instance, mammography can result in many sleepless nights. The usual scenario is that a patient receives a telephone call stating a questionable area is present in the breast and further x-rays are required in an endeavor to rule out a malignancy. Or, a needle biopsy of the breast is required to obtain tissue that can be examined by a pathologist. And it is a rare institution that can quickly do these tests. So, of course, who wouldn’t worry, wondering if cancer is present. The other problem is that mammography can result in a false sense of security when the test is reported normal. Just a few years ago one report showed that in women between 40 to 49 years, mammography missed 30 percent of malignancies. Experts at that time agreed that whatever way you slice the cake the decrease in deaths as a result of mammography is modest. In effect, 2,000 women would have to be screened for 10 years to get one benefit. You can, of course, always argue that saving one life is worthwhile regardless of the cost. Don’t forget radiation exposure. This problem is not only involved with the routine mammogram, but the 0additional ones required when a suspicious lesion is detected. The World Health Association predicts that in the future two percent of all cancers will be due to excessive radiation. It’s not surprising when today many diagnostic tests rely on radiation. Be an informed patient about mammography and discuss both pros and cons with your doctor.

Anne Raina publishes two new children’s books joe.morin@metroland.com

Author Anne Raina never stands still. The former Kemptville resident who now lives in Ottawa leads a busy life. Her first book, Clara’s Rib was published back in 2010. As an author and presenter to various groups she is always on the go. Her latest project you could say is the result of a lifetime of storytelling. As a young mother Raina was never far from storytelling mode and the stories she would tell her children became household favourites. Many she wrote down after telling them to her children. Two of the many stories that have just been published are children’s books. They are a far cry from Clara’s Rib, the story of a young girl coming of age in a tuberculosis hospital in the 1940s and ‘50s. Clara’s story focuses mainly on her years growing up in ‘the San’ in Ottawa. The two new additions to Raina’s library are: The Kangaroo with the Wooden Shoe and Things That go Splat, both illustrated by artist Julia Taylor. “As I child I would write short stories

Anne Raina and skits,” said Raina. “I knew that I had lots of stories that I should have published years ago. It was always in the back of my mind to do this.” Her grown children are excited to hear those stories from when they were little. Like most parents, reading or telling her children stories at bedtime quickly became a tradition for her. “One story I wrote for my children 40 years ago was the Kangaroo with the Wooden Shoe,” said Raina. The story is about a brother and sister, Mark and

Kelly Anne, who find themselves in possession of a kangaroo with a wooden shoe. Incidentally the two children share the names of Raina’s real-life children. “The Kangaroo with the Wooden Shoe is all about fun,” said Raina. She is excited about the illustrations in the book. “Julia Taylor is a marvel,” said Raina. “She is a delight to work with,” she said. Working alongside an illustrator for a book can be a challenge. “I had written down what I thought the images should be to go along with what I had written. Julia totally got it,” said Raina. The second children’s book is called Things That go Splat also illustrated by Julia Taylor. The main character is Jacob a nephew of the author. The book is about a young boy’s adventures as he looks for things that go splat. You can obtain a book by connecting with Anne at : anneraina@rogers.com or 613-733-5891 Also available from: Balderson Village Cheese, Balderson, 613-267-4492 Books on Beechwood, 35 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, 613-742-5030 Kaleidoscope Kids’ Books, 1018 Bank Street, Ottawa, 613232-7406

A palliative care success story since 1992, Beth Donovan Hospice is actively exploring a palliative care strategy for North Grenville that includes residential hospice beds. The challenge with palliative care is that nearly 80 per cent of Canadians would choose not to die in hospital, yet most do. A recent study of the costs of dying in Ontario produced some gripping figures: • Ontario spends nearly 10 per cent of its total health budget on care during the last year of life, or $4.7 billion annually. • Of that amount, $1.3 billion is spent in the final month of life. • An acute care hospital bed costs $1,100 a day, while a hospice palliative care bed costs roughly $460 per day. In spite of this remarkable expenditure, the vast majority of patients are not well-served at end-of-life, and demographics dictate that the costs will increase dramatically in the coming years. To help document the challenges of establishing palliative beds, BDH engaged the consulting firm, Optimus, to conduct a feasibility study. Dozens of community members were asked for their views including clients, volunteers, health care professionals, municipal leaders and business owners from the catchment area. In addition, the Optimus study examined a selection of urban and rural hospices, discussed the provincial funding model and process in detail, and set out options for the future. Feasibility Study Confirms an Existing Need, a Growing Demand, and a Lack of Funding The study documented the evolution, growth and demonstrated achievements of Beth Donovan Hospice. It reflected the organization’s capacity to keep pace with community needs and broader demographic and health care trends. The feasibility study reiterated the preference of most people to die at home or in hospice, confirmed the disproportionate number of people dying in hospital, laid out the extremely high costs of a hospital death, and signaled the future demand for residential hospice care: • 52 per cent of Ontarians die in hospital while only 3 per cent die in a community hospice. • By 2026, the number of Canadians dying annually will increase by 40 per cent, and each of those deaths will affect the well-being of an average

? !

of 5 others, or more than 1.6 million people. The study highlighted that although hospital care for palliative patients is costly, not efficient and largely unwanted, there is a lack of provincial funding for hospice care. The main emphasis of the study was funding, specifically the provincial funding model, the insufficient budget for hospice care, and the immense fundraising challenge a community faces to sustain a local hospice, once established. To be feasible, a BDH residence would require: • Solid partnerships with key players and most especially medical professionals. • A large sum of capital funding for the physical plant, whether for acquisition and renovation, or construction, or outfitting with equipment (options include a stand-alone facility or colocating within an existing facility). • A substantial amount of funding for ongoing operations. • An enhanced fundraising strategy that would raise two to seven times the current amount of annual charitable donations ($72K). • A strengthened volunteer capacity. Finally, the study documented a strong community consensus ~ unanimity even ~ for a residential hospice. Going Forward: A Residential Program Needs Tremendous Effort from All Supporters and Partners The Board is committed to reviewing the challenges with the current hurdles in the Ontario health care system. On one hand, there is universal support for a North Grenville-based hospice because there is a clear need for this service now and because there will be a growing demand for beds into the future. On the other hand, current sources of funds are woefully inadequate and the provincial budgeting process is cumbersome and slow. The deep paradox is that today’s planning and funding won’t even meet tomorrow’s demands. The positive news is that the level of good will, determination, and resolve in our community matches the degree of challenge that lies ahead. BDH will position itself for the future and develop an ideal care capability to support North Grenville’s palliative needs for the next generation. Submitted by the Beth Donovan Hospice.

Jonsson’s raises $1,568 for KDH

The second annual K Card fundraiser at Jonsson’s Independent was a roaring success. Over $1,500 was raised for women’s health programs at the Kemptville District Hospital. The week-long fundraiser, during which patrons could purchase a K Card for $2, raised nearly double the amount as in 2014. “I would like to thank all the customers and staff here at Jonsson’s for their support during this fundraiser,” said Steve Jonsson, owner of Jonsson’s Independent. The funds are going to the KDH Foundation, which will put them towards women’s health programs in the community. Jonsson was one of the first to join the Community Partner program last year. The KDH Foundation Community Partner Program is a unique opportunity to support the Hospital with a minimum annual commitment of $1,000, which can be made monthly or quarterly and is open to all local business. Go to www.kdhfoundation.ca to see a full listing of community partners. For more information regarding this program contact Mary Boucher at the Foundation Office 613-258-6133 x 157.

73’s get back on the winning track Brian Wilson

Kemptville opened the week with a tilt against the Nepean Raiders on Friday, November 20, in North Grenville. Kemptville displayed total domination from the opening face off. Quinn Wichers’ fourth of the year, assisted by Owen Guy and Matt Tugnutt, started things off just 43 seconds into the game. That was all the scoring in the first period. In the second, Tyson Kirkby made it a 2-0 game with help from Adam Alavi and Brandon Cole. Before the end of the period, Jake Gaudet scooped up a loose puck and went the length of the ice to slide it under the Raiders goaltender. The short handed goal was Gaudet’s fifth of the season. The outstanding play continued into the third with Kemptville holding a 3-0 lead. At the 1:06 mark, Dean Kiriacou buried one to make it 4-0. The assists on the power play goal went to Kaelan O’Flynn and Guy. The next goal was set up by Gaudet as Victor Tracy notched his tenth of the campaign. With the 73’s holding a 5-0 lead, a seeing eye shot from the point finally beat 73’s Nic Hodgins to make it 5-1. But that did not help Nepean as the 73’s kept up the pressure right to the end. With three seconds

left on the clock, Guy scored from Cole and Jason Tackett to end the game with a 6-1 victory. Kemptville out shot Nepean 39-19 and six different players scored in the game. Jake Gaudet was named first star and Quinn Wichers picked up the second star. On the heels of one of the better games of the year, the team travelled to Pembroke on Sunday, November 22, to take on the Lumber Kings. The last meeting between these two teams was not a pleasant one with over 150 minutes in penalties being assessed. This game turned out to be slightly tamer. The 73’s scored the only goal of the first period. Alex Row setup Tyson Kirkby’s fifth of the year. In the second, Kemptville controlled the play, again scoring the only goal of the frame. Owen Guy was setup by Jason Tackett and Liam Watson. The rest of the scoring occurred in a five minute span in the third period. The 73’s scored two quick ones from Jake Gaudet and Cam Russell to make it 4-0. Getting the assists were Victor Tracy, Tackett and Kemptville goaltender Nic Hodgins. After that, the Kings broke the shut out bid with a goal by former 73, Jesse Blais. The final score was 4-1 and amother win for the 73’s.

Kemptville had a slight edge on the shot clock by a count of 35-33. The first two stars of the game were Tyson Kirkby and Nic Hodgins. This week, Kemptville travels to Kanata on Thursday, November 26 for a 7:30 game against the Lasers and to Brockville on Friday, November 27 for a match with the Braves, also at 7:30. On Sunday, November 29, the Smiths Falls Bears come to North Grenville for a 2:00 game. It is also the kick off of the Mountain of Toys drive. Royal LePage Gale together with the Kinsmen Club has spearheaded the Mountain of Toys, which collects new and unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army and the North Grenville Community Service Council. Bring along a new and unwrapped toy and you will get a discount on that afternoon’s 73’s game. The cost will be $2 for kids and $5 for adults. The Royal LePage Gale car will take to the ice during the game’s first intermission when 73’s players will collect toys from the crowd and fill the vehicle. This is a chance for you to give back to your community and also catch some great hockey. Support your local team! Excitement on ice! See you at the rink!

Fire destroys Get to Know house in Merrickville Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Wreath making activity raises $200 for KDHSI Kemptville District Home Support hosted a Christmas wreath making activity on Nov. 18 in the new activity room. Seven people participated in the activity, which raised about $200 for programming at the KDHSI. Staff and volunteers made all the wreath forms for the activity. From left, Jackie Dillabaugh and Gayle Holmes, instructor.

A house located at 323 Wallace Street in Merrickville caught fire on Nov. 17. The Merrickville Fire Department received the call just after 4 p.m. and found flames coming through the roof. By 7 p.m., the scene was cleared. The fire re-kindled and the MFD was called back out to the scene at 10 p.m. “We thought we had everything out; there was no sign of smoke,” said Bob Foster, MFD Chief. “Regrettably, it re-kindled.” Mutual aid was called in from the North Grenville Fire Service, who provided a tanker and screw. Fire fighters remained on the scene until 5 a.m. on Nov. 18. There was no one home at the time of the fire and no one was injured, aside from a fire fighter who sustained a sprained ankle while battling the blaze. The cause of the fire is believed to be electrical. “We believe it started in the hot water heaters in the attic,” said Foster. “The house was completely destroyed after the first call.” He said almost all the fire fighters from the MFD were on scene. “They put in a great effort,” said Foster.

Little girl’s humanitarian effort highlights Build a Mountain of Food drive Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

What 12-year-old would seek help from Santa to help feed and clothe the homeless? Ask Amaris Mullings of Smiths Falls why she had such a humanitarian look at the world this year and she’ll tell you. “I have everything I need,” the little girl told this newspaper in a phone interview. “I don’t like seeing people cold and hungry. I go to the fridge and get what I want to eat. I see kids at school who use the breakfast program because they don’t have any food. I want them to have a nice Christmas like I have every year.” This Grade 7 student attends Duncan J Schoular Public School in town. If that doesn’t melt your heart, then check this out. She’s making grown men teary-eyed. “It touches something in me,” said Hugh Colton of the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, who swept through four grocery stores in Smiths Falls on Saturday, collecting a whopping 52,658 pounds of food and $12,806.45 in cash donations during week three of this venture to fill the

food bank shelves of the communities he visits. “That little girl and her mom came into the Independent and picked up three bags of pre-packaged food to give to the campaign to help someone out… well that touched everybody here,” Colton said. “It shakes me a little.” Colton said seeing the generosity of this generation and knowing they understand the need in their own community, it’s a special moment. “When you see things like this happen, it gives you inspiration,” he said. “Her story will touch someone else.” And that is how mountains are made. Mullings said she used money that her mother would have spent on her Christmas presents for her to purchase the groceries. She also went to the mission on Beckwith Street and gave a laundry basket of clothing including hats and mitts and 10 loaves of bread. She even made a trip to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society and gave them several cans of cat food. “I couldn’t believe it when she told me what she wanted to do this year,” said Mullings’ mother, Kristel Lamb-

In her letter, she asked to help feed a homeless person and to give warm hats and mittens to those who need them.

Lanark County warden presents 2015 Awards of Excellence Two Tay Valley Township residents were honoured at the regular council meeting Wednesday, Nov. 18 as part of the 2015 Awards of Excellence for their outstanding contributions to Lanark County, particularly related to their work on a unique historical mapping project in partnership with CGIS, four municipalities and Algonquin College.

...We have had the opportunity to honour many individuals and groups who have given their time and talent to help make Lanark County a great place to live. WARDEN KEITH KERR

The Awards of Excellence recognize and honour citizens or organizations that have made a significant and/or extraordinary contribution to Lanark County. This year council recognized Barrie Crampton and Ann MacPhail in the categories of heritage and volunteerism. “Since the Awards of Excellence program began 10 years ago, we have had the opportunity to honour many individuals and groups who have given their time and talent to help make Lanark County a great place to live,” said Warden Keith Kerr (Tay Valley Reeve). “We are celebrating role models and community builders who make a difference in the lives of others.” The program began as a way to recognize recipients for contributions to the county at large or in at least two municipalities. It was developed to say thank you to citizens of Lanark County, to provide community recognition and visibility, to support citizens for their contributions and to inspire further community service. Crampton and MacPhail are key players in the historical mapping project, which tells the settlement story through digital mapping technology and uses original survey maps from 1815 to show the settlement of the soldiers and settlers by lot and concession, along with original and subsequent families and their stories. Susan Freeman, past chair and current volunteer on the Tay Valley 200th Anniversary Committee, wrote a letter of support for Crampton’s nomination. “It takes a vision, a love of history and knowledge of GIS technology to have the concept and give birth to the idea of customized maps of our townships,” she wrote of this lifelong volunteer “whose tireless efforts on this project are not only going to benefit the residents of our municipalities, but also researchers looking up their family histories and future generations looking at the history and the founding of our country.” Crampton has made numerous volunteer contributions over decades

in Lanark County. He has worked with the county’s emergency services as the Emergency Coordinator of Lanark, North Leeds Amateur Radio Emergency Service Inc. (ARES), which played a major role during the Ice Storm of 1998, including technical support to the military. Through ARES he has been involved with local students in high-altitude balloon tracking experiments and to assist with communications during major local events. He pitched the Lanark County Community Computer Access Program that saw computers placed in local libraries, community and municipal halls for the public to use in anticipation of an increased need for Internet access. “Barrie’s community spirit and his drive to blend technology for public good and use has truly benefitted all of Lanark County,” Freeman said. In addition to these achievements, Tay Valley Township Planner Noelle Reeve also noted Mr. Crampton’s work related to the Eastern Ontario Regional Network broadband Internet project to improve connectivity in Lanark County. “The mapping project would not have happened without a champion who had a particular combination of interests and skill set: an interest in history and maps and an understanding of the possibilities of innovative technology to bring the history of the area to life through an online interactive experience,” she said. Letters of support were also received from Perth CAO John deRosenroll, Beckwith Executive Assistant Cassandra McGregor, representatives from ARES, and the Perth & District Historical Society, which called the historical mapping project “an invaluable history research tool” that “offers major economic opportunity in the promotion of genealogical tourism to the area.” “Mr. Crampton’s contributions to Lanark County in terms of his immense technological knowledge are well known to this council,” Warden Kerr said. “I would like to express our gratitude for the time you have taken to bring this knowledge to our residents and visitors to the county in very practical ways. The mapping project has the potential to be a true legacy for all of Lanark County.” MacPhail, who has been employed as the librarian at Algonquin College’s Perth campus for 20 years, was nominated by the 200th Anniversary Drummond/North Elmsley Committee. In her career she has provided extensive research support to individuals and organizations seeking historical reference documentation about Lanark County. For the historical mapping project, MacPhail has served as the key land records researcher for the team. She researches the original land records for each of the four municipalities. She has transcribed more than 8,100

handwritten entries from microfilm reels into an Excel spreadsheet to create text entries for the mapping. This, her nominators indicate, is “the foundation of the project and forms the most comprehensive searchable Lanark County records database that we know to exist.” The project may eventually be expanded to include other municipalities within the county. “The online internet-based project will become a significant online application to support genealogical tourism and has already provided information to families from away that intend to attend celebration festivities in 2016,” the nomination states. In a letter of support, local resident Sarah Edmundson detailed MacPhail’s efforts to assist her son with his Perth Regional Heritage Fair project and how it evolved into an exploration of the history of their property. “Ann’s enthusiasm and knowledge was infectious and brought to life Nye’s hunt through history.... Ann’s knowledge and curation of these valuable documents is inspiring.”

Freeman also wrote a letter of support and noted MacPhail has “over the past few years helped to develop a legacy that not only is significant to Beckwith, Drummond, North Elmsley, Tay Valley and the Town of Perth, but to the whole of Lanark County and other counties.” She noted the project gives a modern context to the historical origins of our ancestors’ land and has taken hundreds of volunteer hours. A letter of support was also provided by the Perth & District Historical Society, who hailed Ms. MacPhail as “one of the most important resources of history and genealogical information for this region, by virtue of her knowledge of the sector and of the related technical sources of historical records. This expertise has made the Algonquin College archives, and Ms. MacPhail, one of the essential stops to which our society directs incoming researchers of these sectors from all parts of the world.” Drummond/North Elmsley Township planner Karl Grenke supported both nominations and noted the

countless hours invested in the historical mapping project, which he called “an enduring resource for the areas of the Perth Military Settlement.” Kerr thanked MacPhail for the countless hours she has spent helping residents and visitors to become acquainted with the history of Lanark County. “Your dedication to helping people to understand our past and your commitment to preserving and promoting our historic records has not gone unnoticed. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your talent and passion with all of us.” Awards of Excellence recipients receive an individually designed award commissioned by Mississippi Millsarea artist Stephen Braithwaite, who also created the stained glass windows in the council chambers. They will be recognized on a plaque in the county administration building, as well as on the county website at www.lanarkcounty.ca and in notices in local newspapers.

One of

Car Counsellor

the biggest battles in this year’s negotiations was the attempt to reduce the wage gap between Tier One and Tier Two workers. Tier Ones are the older group receiving top line pay and Tier Twos are more recent hires that receive substantially less. Both groups are represented by the same union so it was no surprise that their labor representatives would fight for wage parity. The automakers balked, because with offshore and Mexican plants enjoying lower labour costs, their products could be sold at more competitive prices. After some tense and long bargaining sessions, most locals to date have agreed on a plan that shrinks the wage gap in exchange for a concession that sees plans to move most of the production of smaller and cheaper cars offshore or to Mexico. Larger and more expensive vehicles such as trucks and SUVs would still be produced for the long term in the US and Canada. These products have a much higher profit margin allowing for higher labour expenses without sacrificing the bottom line. In a period of relative economic stability and low fuel prices (such as we have now) this is a win-win situation for both carmakers and labour groups. But as we all know, the economy is a fickle and cyclical beast. And all it takes is an OPEC decision behind closed doors to drastically change the

price we pay for fuel. Under the current agreement, the cheapest vehicle built in the US (and most likely Canada as well) by the end of this decade will be the Chevrolet Volt. And if you’ve checked the price of this popular extended-range electric you’ll realize it’s not an entry-level car. So when the next recession or fuel price spike comes (and that’s ‘when’ not ‘if’) there will be a reduction in demand of the more expensive and fuel hungry vehicles leading to layoffs and plant closings.

Not the greatest example of foresight.

Drivers with winter tires are eligible for insurance discount Ontario is moving forward with its plan to help lower auto insurance rates by requiring all insurance companies in the province to provide a discount for drivers who buy and install winter tires, starting Jan. 1, 2016. On Oct. 14, Minister of Finance Charles Souza was at Canadian Tire where he participated in a demonstration showcasing the benefits of using winter tires to enhance safety in winter driving conditions. “Our government is committed to reducing insurance costs and lowering premiums after recently introducing important and necessary reforms

to the auto insurance system,” stated Sousa. “Auto insurance is dependent on individual drivers’ behaviour and this winter season, drivers across Ontario will be able to save more on their auto insurance by installing winter tires. Consumers are also encouraged, as with any insurance product, to shop around for the best possible rate and package that meet their needs.” Winter tires enhance safety and reduce the likelihood of collisions by improving traction, braking and handling in frost, snow, slush and under cold and icy conditions.

White Tea Coconut Oil Bath Bombs

Makes 1 to 3 dozen, depending on size Ingredients 1 cup baking soda 1/2 cup citric acid 1/2 cup corn starch 2 tablespoons Epsom salts 2 tablespoons coconut oil 5 to 6 teaspoons liquid, such as water or tea (I used strong white tea) a few drops essential oils, food colouring, optional Candy molds In a large bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, corn starch and salts. With a whisk or dough cutter, work the coconut oil into the dry ingredients, until the mixture resembles sandy with some larger chunks of oil. Working with 1 teaspoon at a time, *slowly* add the liquid to the dry ingredients, stirring it in immediately with a large spoon. The mixture will foam slightly with each addition, this is normal. Add the liquid until your mixture resembles slightly damp sand. It should still be primarily dry, but when you squeeze a handful together, it should stick in a lump. If adding colouring (optional) or essential oils, do so by mixing them into the liquid ingredients. Once the mixture is ready, press it firmly and tightly into each mold. You do not need to prepare the molds in any way. Allow to dry for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight. Remove from molds and store in an airtight container.

Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

They’re green when summer days are bright, They’re green when winter snow is white, O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How evergreen your branches!

away in a manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky, look down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for Heaven, to live with Thee there.

Come, they told me, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, A new born King to see, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Our finest gifts we bring, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, To lay before the King, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, So to honor Him, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, When we come. Little Baby, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, I am a poor boy, too, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, I have no gift to bring Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, That’s fit to give our King, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Shall I play for You, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, On my drum? Mary nodded, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, The ox and lamb kept time, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, I played my drum for Him, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, I played my best for Him, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Then He smiled at me, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Me and my drum.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

DiCola Petroleum

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. And by the light of the same star, Three wisemen came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

JiNgle Bells

On the ___ day of Christmas my true-love gave to me… (and) A partridge in a pear tree! Two turtle doves, Three French hens, Four calling birds, Five golden rings, Six geese a-laying, Seven swans a-swimming, Eight maids a-milking, Nine ladies dancing, Ten lords a-leaping, Eleven pipers piping, Twelve drummers drumming,

Jingle bells, Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seem’d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot. (Repeat Chorus) Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead.

Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.

(Repeat Chorus)

o Come all ye FaithFul

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing. Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!

GUIDE

When making your Christmas list this holiday season, be sure to include ‘presence’ A recent study revealed that the average person picks up their mobile device 85 times a day. That works out to a whopping five hours daily spent surfing the web and on apps. After reading this study, I began to become aware of my own incessant habit of reaching for my cell phone to check the latest social feeds. I then realized that I’m not alone in how many “real life” moments that are being missed, which is what prompted the need for unplugging awareness at this time of year when so many magical moments are taking place. Social media has provided us

with an outlet to have our voices heard, share special moments, stay connected and create awareness of community/global issues and events. However, the constant need to be connected has somehow overshadowed the importance of being present in the moment. While it may come second

nature to post a selfie while opening Christmas presents or tweet about how many rum and egg nogs you and your siblings have just thrown back, resist the urge to post that status update. Instead, give someone the gift that doesn’t cost a cent, your presence. Trust me, there will be no gift receipt required.

With Christmas only a month away it got me thinking about the importance of “unplugging” during holiday family gatherings. Christmas is a time to spend with those we love and for some who may live a distance away. It’s the perfect opportunity to travel home to see friends and family whom social media has been their way of keeping in contact year round. While social media sites, such as Facebook, are the perfect way to stay connected 24/7, 365 days a year, there comes a time when it’s important to connect with what’s right in front of us, offline.

Small town news important and interesting from community newspapers nities they have their local issues and concerns and judging by the apparent success of those newspapers, residents and visitors alike still depend on them for news and information. The Stowe Reporter has been in business for a relatively modest 56 years. I say that because all of the papers I’ve worked for during my long career have been covering the news for a century or more. As many of you will know Vermont, the Green Mountain State, is one of the most beautiful places on the continent. In the Nov. 5 edition the Stowe paper published the winning entries in their ninth annual ‘Fall Foliage Photo Contest.’ The winning photo is truly spectacular and so were the second and third place pictures. The front page also acknowledged some recent high school sports success achieved by Stowe High School teams. In fact the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams and the boys’

the Mississippi Mills budget for years to come. Work like that doesn’t come cheap! Studies are currently in the works. Local importance Surely everyone who lives in and around Almonte will want to know and understand details of the proposed makeover of the central business core? But unless they read the newspaper they’re unlikely to get much information. Because no other news source provides the kind of detail the local newspaper does. My intent this week is not only to tout the importance of this newspaper, but to highlight the valuable role newspapers in general continue to play in the communities they serve. I realize I’m probably “preaching to the converted.” After all, if you are reading my column you’re very likely a regular newspaper reader. On the other hand perhaps I will reach some from the younger generation who think the only “news” worth considering is what they see on their phones. Believe me, there is so

cross country team all captured Division 3 state championships this fall. Page 1 also featured an interesting story which explained that residents in the nearby village of Elmore vetoed a proposed merger that would have seen their school district rolled into a single district with neighbouring Morristown. A vote was held and the idea was rejected despite the fact Elmore residents now face a double-digit hike in their school property taxes next year. Majority rules is still very much at work in rural Vermont, despite the cost that will go with that particular decision. Elmore folks obviously want some local autonomy! Without buying the newspaper (yes, you still have to pay 75 cents – one dollar Canadian – for the Stowe Reporter) where else would you find such a detailed story on that particular exercise in democracy? In Lake Placid, population

2,500, Halloween made the front page of the weekly Lake Placid News the first week of November. I happily paid a buck, twenty five to read about the first ever community Halloween party which was held over the course of two days. Because Halloween fell on a Saturday this year the party began on Friday, Oct. 30 in order to accommodate the annual Halloween parade down Main Street. The new, community party was staged the same day as the trick or treating. By reading the paper I also learned there are plans in the works that will keep the beautiful public beach on Mirror Lake in Lake Placid open longer next summer. If it remains hot past Labour Day that is. Voices were raised this year when fencing was erected at the beach which prevented swimmers from entering the lake during what was a very warm stretch of weather in early September.

much more to consider when it comes to the news. And yet the only consistent sources of small town news today are local newspapers and radio stations. The big dailies along with city television and radio outlets either don’t have the resources to cover news in the outlying areas or they don’t feel it serves their purposes to do so. The exceptions are so called “hard news” such as fatal motor vehicle collisions, serious fires or other tragic events. Bad news sells, unfortunately!

After more than 40 years working in this business I obviously support this newspaper group and newspapers in general as they work to maintain their place in a society where the availability of instant communication has turned so many people away from newspapers. In a world that has seemingly gone mad – the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris underline that fact – I find it comforting to be able to pick up the newspaper and get so much in-depth information and opinion about what is happening in the world. Even more important perhaps, newspapers continue to be a conduit to what is taking place in our own community. The instant sound bites I hear on and off every day and the snippets of information I read on-line almost always leave me wanting more details. I believe newspapers fill a major void. I totally disagree with those who tell me, “I can get everything on-line.” In truth, if you don’t read your local newspaper you’re missing a lot! Consider two recent headlines from our local edition the Carleton Place/ Almonte Canadian-Gazette. On Nov. 5 the main front page heading read ‘Hospital board to undergo shake up’. What could be more important than the local hospital? In this case the board at Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital is considering dropping ex-officio members (automatic appointees) from municipal government, something that has sparked a major controversy in the community. Not only are the municipal councils involved unhappy with the proposal, so too are many members of the public. My information is that taxpayers are letting both the board and the provincial health ministry know, in box car letters, just how displeased they are with this idea. Stay tuned to this newspaper because there is certain to be follow-up stories relative to this matter. On the front page of the Nov. 12 Canadian-Gazette a headline reads ‘Mississippi Mills talks Mill Street makeover.’ Mill Street is the main street in the Almonte ward of the Town of Mississippi Mills. The street where so many of the community’s commercial enterprises are centred. So a project affecting the centre core of Almonte is very big news there. The lead paragraph in the story says, “It’s possibly the biggest project Almonte has ever seen, and it’s just getting started.” The proposed project actually involves the entire downtown area in Almonte. It would focus primarily on replacing or upgrading the aging infrastructure, including sanitary sewers and water pipes. If approved, and parts of it are almost sure to get the green light, the program will be a big ticket item in

healthy enough to be offered for adoption. She needs one pill a day as the vet discovered she has a thyroid problem. Because of her thyroid problem she’ll always be a skinny cat. She’s one of a lucky cats to be brought to the shelter and one of the favorites among the co-op students. Lucky also tolerates other felines. She is now ready to find her forever home. Please meet her in one of our cat rooms.

He quietly observes, can be a little shy and cautious at times, however once he gets to know you he’s more freely offering signs of affection. When he’s puzzled he looks at you with his eyes a little crossed. Absolutely sweet to see and it makes him even more special. Come, see for yourself, and give this nine-year-old boy another chance of living in a home with a caring family. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or conVinnie cerns, please contact the shelter at previous family. It’s always a sad situ- he is at LAWS. He’s not as vocal as shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308. ation. Vinnie doesn’t understand why Siamese cats tend to be.

Thomas Thomas is a 10-year-old, very friendly male cat. Thomas just needs that one special person in his life willing to take the time to get to know him as knowing him is loving him. Thomas has diabetes and needs his insulin shots twice daily. It’s a commitment, likely for the rest of his life, but he’s worth it. He loves cuddles, loves other cats and would love a warm spot anywhere in your home. If you think you’re willing and able to take him into your heart and commit to the care he needs: please call the shelter (613-238-9308) to make arrangements to meet Thomas as he’s currently in a foster home.

Comet Hi there, Ella and Cuba here...we’re on the lookout for a nice home for our mom Comet. Mom has been at LAWS for a while! First she delivered us, than she raised us and recently she got spayed. She’s the most friendly petite caring mom you can imagine. It is our wish that she’ll be the one you take home. Mom Comet has gorgeous slick black fur with a hint of white on her nose and chest! We think that makes her even more special. We’ve learned a lot from our mom and we also resemble her looks. Pitch black and beautiful. We’re two of her five little kittens. We’re rambunctious, playful, naughty at times and will likely get you your daily workout. We’re sure we’ll make you smile! We would love to find our forever home soon too as we’re growing like a weed. Wouldn’t it be fun for you to see us grow up? Did you know having two little spunky kittens is less work than having one...why you wonder? Well, we entertain each other; just give us good food, some toys and a warm bed so we can huddle together during cold nights and we’re happy as can be. Or, another idea we have...adopting us as a threesome would be good too. Will you think about it? Thanks! Please meet us at LAWS. All of us black beauties will be happy to see you.
