municipal cultural map for Elizabethtown-Kitley.” “I am just so thrilled to have you here to hear about this idea of Doors Open,” said Clifford-Ward. “We have a wonderful representation in the room, from throughout the municipality. We are literally breaking new ground here and it’s very exciting to think you’re right in at the beginning.” She explained Doors Open is an invitation to be a tourist in your own community. “Come, explore and discover,” said Clifford-Ward. Doors Open first began in Europe, with Europe’s Heritage Days, she explained. In 2000, Toronto became the first North American city to host a Doors Open event. “It has now grown across the continent, and across Canada, in various cities,” said Clifford-Ward. “In 2002, Ontario Heritage Trust assumed the responsibility and launched Doors Open Ontario.”

A tremendous opportunity of discovery. The first information session for the 2016 Doors Open event in North Grenville, proposed for Sept. 24, 2016, was held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Dec. 2. Various community stakeholders, including representatives from the Kemptville District Hospital, the North Grenville Public Library, the Kemptville Players, the Ferguson Forest Centre and local business leaders, were invited to take part in the meeting. “This is the first planning meeting for Doors Open 2016, which is being coordinated by the municipal Heritage Advisory Committee,” said Rowena Cooper, chair of the committee. She introduced Lynne Clifford-Ward, a municipal cultural planner. “She worked for Smiths Falls for two years and put on Doors Open in Smiths Falls, in 2012/2013,” said Cooper. “She’s also done a

Harry Pratt, long-time North Grenville resident and the driving force behind so many community initiatives as well as being a friend to all, died after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer on Sunday, Dec. 6, 2015 at the Kemptville District Hospital. The hospital was one of his favourite institutions. To many people in North Grenville he was a pillar of their community, as well as a business leader. This year marked the 41st year that Pratt worked as a real estate sales representative, broker, and branch manager in the area with Royal LePage Gale Real Estate. Please see a future issue of The Kemptville Advance for a full feature story on Harry Pratt and his many contributions to the community.
AN AMAZING HISTORY,
Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND
Spirit of Christmas in Oxford Mills The Spirit of Christmas in Oxford Mills kicked off with the tree lighting on Dec. 4. A crowd of local residents gathered round to join in the caroling, led by the Oxford Mills Sisterhood of Guiding. The honour of flipping the switch for the lights went to local resident Greg Beach this year. People were then invited into Maplewood Hall for some hot chocolate, goodies and a visit with Santa Claus. Above, the Oxford Mills Sisterhood of Guiding led the crowd in carols. To the right, two local children approach Santa and his elf with caution, enticed by the promise of a candy cane.

Food mountain campaign ends this weekend but collections ongoing through December ljweir@metroland.com
The end of the campaign trail is upon him, but there is still plenty more food donations to collect. Week five of the Build a Mountain of Food campaign is in the books as Hugh Colton and his volunteer helpers have been busy running between communities filling food bank shelves in Merrickville and Portland over the past weekend. In Portland, Colton hit the Food Market there where they collected 1,334 pounds of food and $2,051 in cash donations for the Portland Food Bank. “We still have donations coming from the Brownies, Guides and Sparks, who couldn’t get out to the grocery store,” Colton said. “There are some other places in Portland too, who are still collecting.” He’ll catch up with them later in the month. During the afternoon fun at the Merrickville Food Market, the village was in full swing for its annual Christmas in Merrickville celebration. Donations included 920 pounds for the food cupboard. “Dennis Trodden and Bobby-Jo are hard working, and a lot of that is coming from their selling of pre-packaged food bags,” Colton said. A nice story from this neck of the woods was the
creation and selling of holiday wreaths by Casey Kaines, a local 4-H youth who wanted to do something for her community. “She was taught how to make these wreaths by her 4-H leader and then she has been selling them,” Colton explained. She then donated her proceeds to the food bank. “I am not sure how much she was able to donate,” but that total will be included in the Build a Mountain of Food, he said. Colton works alongside the Merrickville Lions Club, whose members prepare Christmas hampers in conjunction with the food cupboard. “After week five of six, the grand total so far is 122,401 pounds of food, and $33,900.95 in cash donations. This weekend, Colton and the crew are heading to Athens in the morning and Delta in the afternoon. That evening, he will attend the Festival of Lights in Delta Park as well. “We’ve also got lots going on to round out the month of December, as the campaign is still collecting food and cash right up to Dec. 31,” he said. Smiths Falls is still collecting for their food bank and donations are being gathered at retirement homes, a gym, from the firefighters and even a real estate agency.
Volunteers from the food bank in Portland helped out Hugh Colton on Saturday. They are Cheryl Stoddard (food bank manager), Ilona French (food bank volunteer), Ed Chenard (Build a Mountain volunteer), Rev. Takouhi Demirdjian-Petro (Minister, Portland and Elgin United Churches) and Vicky Zwiers (food bank volunteer.) Photo courtesy Jim Wright

Because I care. That’s the message that Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE) Township Deputy Reeve Gail Code hopes to bring to her newest elected office of warden of Lanark County. Code was acclaimed to her new position on the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 8 in the Lanark County council chambers in Perth. She was nominated by DNE’s Reeve, Aubrey Churchill, and seconded by Beckwith Township Deputy Reeve Sharon Mousseau. “Because I care about our financial responsibility as we oversee…$78.3 million in expenditures while we endeavour to contain taxes to an estimated 1.6 per cent without sacrificing service to any of our residents,” Code said in prepared remarks. “Because I care was the platform I promoted when I was elected to Drummond/ North Elmsley council eight years ago…I believe my life experience, empathy and love of Lanark County exemplifies this council’s common sense approach.” She noted that she was born and raised in Lanark County, working on the family beef farm for 47 years. She also ran a restaurant, Grandma’s Kitchen, in Perth for seven years with her daughter Trina. Churchill, in
does not seek recognition.” She does it, simply, because it is “the right thing to do.” Code joked that it was “so nice to hear all of those things about me.” Having been on county council in years past, Code said that she appreciated that there are opinions from all over the county seated at the table – which could sometimes lead to a lively debate that she hoped would prove to be productive. “While we may not always agree, and sometimes give rise to heated debates, I appreciate that you are all receptive to alternative solutions and recognize the team effort required to make this county the number one place to live, work, and play, as we walk out of this room as friends, and respected colleagues regardless of our differences in opinions,” said Code. While we are living a more wired and digital age, she celebrated the fact that “Lanark County has not lost touch of the importance of human interaction.” However, she pointed out that there will be challenges along the way, “with minimal help from the provincial and federal governments downloading services and costs, we have tough decisions ahead. We need to be accountable to the taxpayer while recognizing our social responsibility to those struggling in our

Séan McCann brings personal musical journey from the great big sea to Perth Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Séan McCann has gone from sold out arena concerts with the internationally acclaimed band Great
Big Sea, of which he was a co-founder, to a much more personal musical expression in smaller venues on his own. With an appreciation of musical traditions based
on growing up in his native Carbonnear, NFLD, he went from national awards, millions of albums sold and tours around the world to a need to find a place for himself and to rediscover the music within him. “My wife is from Minnesota and we love living in Ontario,” McCann writes in an email exchange with this newspaper this week. “I miss my mom and dad in Newfoundland but there are so many more opportunities available to me here. Like many hundreds of thousands of Newfoundlanders before me, I simply could no longer afford to stay.” McCann left Great Big Sea in
2013 and took time off to find his center again, before releasing his first solo album, “Help Your Self ”. “The ‘band scene’ is a very unhealthy place... especially for an alcoholic. It is a very superficial world where denial and excess are only encouraged. I am seeking something far more sincere and I know I won’t find it in a hockey rink. Real connection can be made in intimate rooms like The Full Circle Theatre,” he writes. McCann’s new album, “You Know I Love You” has once again taken him on a cross-Canada journey, this time to intimate
venues such as Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, where he will bringing his fall tour to a close, near to his new home in Manotick, Ont. McCann writes that fans of his music can expect him to “show up” this time. “Expect to meet the real Séan McCann because he is going to show up. People don’t really know me… yet. Music fans of every stripe should expect only my very best.” McCann’s music has a new direction to it, helping him to find a path towards dealing with issues of addiction and abuse. “Today I am wide awake and fully present,” he writes. “I am no
longer a victim. I am a survivor. My past is no longer my prison and I continue to help myself by sharing my story. I have shed light on my secret and destroyed its power over me. I am moving forward again and I have never sounded better.” Since embarking on his solo ventures, he has found a new connection with his music and his audience in a way he had always hoped to, using music as therapy, working with people with disabilities and as a speaker helping other find their own focus.

Upper Canada school board’s campaign addresses mental health issues The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is pleased to announce that it will be placing a stuffed elephant in each school and board location as a symbol of its commitment to supporting safe, inclusive, and accepting schools.

Please go to https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=nolPn5psA_w&featu re=youtu.be to watch and share. “There are many societal issues that are stigmatized and misunderstood, such as poverty, gender, and mental health,” says Suzanne Rivard, former PIC chair. “These issues have long been

masterful guitar (on his famous Takamine guitar with a hole worn through the top) and thundering rhythms on the Irish Bodh ran drum make for an exciting evening of music and one which will be both up close and personal. “I have learned that anger is always the enemy and love is always the right solution. That is the sound you will hear in my new songs (listen at www. seanmccannsings.com),” he says. “A song is never really finished until it is sung with other people so I created my new songbook to facilitate that end. Music is strong medicine and singing always makes me feel better. My songs are my labour of love and I am coming to The Full Circle Theatre on Dec. 13 to share them with the good people of Perth.” As for his days of Great Big Sea, McCann says he wrote a lot of good songs while with the band and he still stands by them. “We still disagree on a great big many things and I love the band too much to watch (it) self-destruct. Our work is done. I will honour our legacy and try to move on,” he says. But he’s open for requests, “… especially if they agree to sing along.
regarded as the ‘Elephant in the Room’ – noticeably obvious but largely ignored.” “In uniting with the UCDSB and its Equity and Inclusion program ‘We All Belong’ and the #seemyvoice campaign, we are working together to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and promote open and honest conversations surrounding these issues,” says PIC Co-Chair Donna Winter. “Our goal is to encourage a culture of acceptance and support for students, staff, and parents of the UCDSB,” adds PIC Co-Chair Jennifer Spronck. “By displaying the stuffed elephant in a visible, safe and accessible location within each UCDSB
My solo show is very ‘interactive.’ Full audience participation is required. Anything less is unacceptable.” McCann says he does tweet back and forth occasionally with Bob Hallet and Alan Doyle, his former band mates. “We don’t say much but I think it’s a definite improvement over talking through lawyers.” Music saved McCann’s life and he says he respects it too much to ever just “dial it in” anymore. “We had something good in Great Big Sea and we all took it for granted,” he says, “I will never let that happen to me again.” McCann will make his stop at Full Circle Theatre (FCT) on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m. His concert will be the final event of the year at FCT, which has seen everything from music to Shakespeare, vaudeville to cinema, world premieres and old chestnuts, in a year that included more than 140 events at Perth’s only fully barrierfree, ground-level theatre. Tickets for the concert are at www. ticketsplease.ca or in person at Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, Perth (613485-6434). There are a few tickets left for the Sunday evening event, but they are going fast. With files from BarnDoor Productions.

Partnerships go both ways
s is the case at this time of year, media outlets and the public receive numerous public service reminders from the provincial transportation ministry and police agencies that offer winter driving and safety tips. Some of us might not pay much attention to such messages because we believe we know how to prepare for and deal with adverse weather and road conditions. That might be the case, or we might be kidding ourselves. Some motorists might benefit from what might seem to be common-sense reminders, so issuing releases that provide safety tips can actually serve a useful purpose. In a recent example of this, Transportation Minister Steven Del Luca asks drivers to “Help us keep our roads collision-free by preparing your vehicle, by planning your trip ahead and by slowing down in winter conditions.” Makes sense. He asks Ontarians “…to be our safety partners this winter.” Fair enough. In the same ministry release, it is noted that motorists can expect improved road-
clearing measures on provincial highways. We hope that’s the case, especially after an auditor general’s report released this spring raised serious concerns about how the province had been handling winter maintenance, especially following 2013-2014 and all of the complaints from this region. The minister stated in response to that report that “…the current system of winter highway maintenance needs to be better.” It makes sense for the government to remind Ontarians about the value of installing winter tires and adjusting our driving to suit weather and road conditions this winter, and many motorists can do a better job of dealing with those seasonal challenges. But if drivers are being asked by the minister to be safety partners, then the government needs to hold up its end of the bargain as a partner and do more to ensure that the transportation routes it oversees such as Highway 7 are being maintained at the necessary levels and that the contractors are doing the work for which they were hired.
Bright red box brought the family treasures from Chicago It came in the mail. Just a long narrow box. Bright red. There was nothing else in the parcel, just the box. That, in itself, wasn’t unusual coming from Aunt Freda in Chicago. We often had no idea what she was shipping out to the farm at Northcote, and if we could figure it out, seldom did we have any use for it. Take the silk kimono she sent Father. First of all, he had never seen a silk kimono before in his life, and when he undressed at night, it was to immediately get into bed in his long underwear! Or the radio she sent one year. It came in a large box filled with coils, wires, a brown wood box, and several other things, all of which made no sense at all until Uncle Alec came over across the 20-acre field and

Father kept well away from us over at the Findlay Oval with his feet up on the oven door, and the Ottawa Farm Journal scattered around him on the floor. The first night, after I had laid claim to the dominos, I set them out before me on the table. I had no idea what I was going to do with them. And then I decided to stand them up, one after the other...not touching, but close together. There they were, all lined up in one straight line. I accidentally touched the one at the very end, and

right before my eyes, that one connected with the next one, and so on, until they were all laid flat on the table. To me, it was sheer magic! It didn’t take me long to start all over again. And then I got very creative. I curved the line of dominos, I formed a circle, and touched the end one, and as if they were running on gas, down
they went. Each one felling the one next to it. Well, it didn’t take long for Emerson to slide over on the bench and demand the dominos. He said because Aunt Freda hadn’t said who they were for, anyone in the family could play with them. Mother reminded him he had passed them up when the parcel was opened. And the dominos
were mine, and that was final! I never did learn how to play dominos properly. As a matter of fact, I had no desire to learn the game they offered. To me, it was far more fun, to sit at the old pine table on an evening, set them up in different shapes, tap the end one, and watch them fall down like soldiers. Of course, I had to print a letter to Aunt Freda and
thank her. I never did tell her how her gift of dominos filled many an hour around our kitchen table on a cold night out in Northcote. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Two Guys for Lunch is holding their fifth annual Full Plates for a Warm Christmas for the Littles of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Lanark County. Customers and patrons have generously donated to Two Guys for Lunch for the last five years to help make Christmas a little better for these local children and families. James Perkins and Luc Philippe use the donations to provide each of the traditional Littles’ families with a homemade tourtiere (meat pie) which they receive at their annual Christmas party. James and Luc then donate the rest of the funds raised through the Christmas campaign to BBBS of Lanark. As pies were being handed out at the Christmas Party, one Little was so excited and told her mom how she enjoyed these each year. Two Guys for Lunch are community minded and support a lot of great charities. James says, “I like knowing that I am making local children’s Christmas a little better.” BBBS of Lanark County appreciates Two Guys for Lunch generously raising funds and making tourtieres for the Littles. “Local businesses like Two Guys for Lunch greatly influence the work that we are able to do

Poignant Christmas doesn’t mean end to family traditions Like so many Canadian families, Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year for the Maguire family. Today we’re just two weeks from Christmas Eve and planning is now in full swing. It is going to be a somewhat poignant Christmas for our family, because this will be the first holiday season my siblings and me will be without both of our parents. My father Howard died suddenly a year ago November and my mother Molly passed away in June following a long period of indifferent health. Our parents introduced us to Christmas of course. So we will miss them dearly. But I am sure they would be extremely pleased to see how close our family continues to be and to know they were responsible for that. In fact their illnesses and deaths have brought us closer together. The four of us have spent much of this year dealing with family business and during a recent email exchange my brother Randy mentioned Christmas. I think his comments put our difficult year and the upcoming Christmas/New Year season into context. “We certainly have been blessed with two wonderful parents,” he observed. “And we were lucky enough to have them around for a long time. But never long enough!” Our parents were both 84 at the time of their deaths. Randy added, “They certainly gave us a magical childhood and were always there to look after us. It will be a different Christmas without either of them to talk with, but we have so many great memories. “I’m looking forward to visiting everyone over the holidays and seeing the little kids,” my brother concluded. It is at this time of year that most of us count our blessings. To me, having close family and friends to share the holiday season with is the biggest blessing. Almost all of the traditions Kathleen and me and our family enjoy were passed to us by our parents. I was fortunate enough to enjoy them with my folks much longer than Kathy was. Her parents died prematurely, a fact she learned to live with but which still causes sadness, especially at this time of year. While we credit our parents with providing the wonderful Christmases we recall from our childhoods, the reality is that they were carrying on traditions which were passed down by their parents, grandparents and greatgrandparents. For example, my mother’s famous Christmas pudding is actually a recipe she inherited from her mother who was born in London, England and immigrated to Canada with her family when she was a little girl. That incredible pudding – it really is something special – was in turn handed down to my Grandma Watson (nee Hardy) by her mother who got the recipe from
Reflections By Jeff maguire
her mother and so on. Tradition continues Despite my mother’s passing her pudding will be central to our family’s Christmas dinner again this year. That’s because the fruit-filled dessert was frozen and we were each given one from the last batch my sister Linda and her husband Allan, with direct input from our mother, made last fall. Because we have the recipe this is one family, holiday tradition which isn’t about to go away. We may even make the puddings collectively, as a family project, next year. I am sure those of you who are Christians and celebrate Christmas will recognize some of the family traditions I am going to outline. I’m equally certain you have many of your own. My parents were both born in 1930, just after the start of the Great Depression. The world-wide financial collapse hit Canada hard. Between 1929 and
1939 the gross national product in this country plunged by an alarming 40 per cent. That’s three percentage points higher than the blow felt by our American neighbours. Times were hard and my father’s family, who lived in the relatively remote and lightly populated Haliburton Highlands Region of Central Ontario, had very little. My Grandma Maguire (nee McNeely) gave birth to eight children. My Dad was the oldest of five boys. Grandma had to be ingenious to stretch the few dollars my Grandpa Maguire earned in the lumber camps of the region. In 2003 my father authored a manuscript on his life that we are so pleased to have in our family archive. It contains in-depth information about the Maguire family in general. On Pages 17 and 18 of the nearly 90-page book my father describes a typical Christmas when he was a little boy. “Christmas was always special and my mother made several layers of Christmas cake. It was always iced and decorated with red and silver candy. See MAGUIRE page 12

Wheels of Hope Driver helping people get to cancer treatment their situation, but “everyone is upbeat and positive.” “The positive energy just comes off of them,” she added. Volunteering as a driver, in addition to her volunteer position at the hospital gift shop, has also given Fournier a chance to reconnect with the community after living away for many years. With such a positive experience, she makes sure to mention the transportation program, or volunteering for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society in general, to friends and acquaintances. She drives two to three days a week, but has driven up to four days a week at busy times. She and other volunteer drivers make sure to let transportation co-ordinator Emma Dolliver know when they’re available and when they don’t have time to drive, and she schedules the rides. Fournier said all the clients have expressed concern over disrupting
her day, especially if their appointments and treatments take longer than expected. “I just say, ‘I’m yours for the day,’” she stressed. “We are there to do this for them.” About the Wheels of Hope Transportation Service The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope helps more than 119 clients throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Last year, the Society’s volunteer drivers drove 292,524 kilometres, with each trip costing an average of just more than $60 due to the long distances travelled in eastern Ontario. The average cost of providing service to someone in our community through treatment is $840. In 2014 the Society provided support to 18 families who have a child with cancer through the Family Transportation Service. New patients who register with

R0013594519_1210
When Gail Fournier retired in 2013 and returned to her native Perth, she knew she needed to find an activity to occupy her time. “I was looking for something to do,” she explained in a recent interview. “I had time on my hands.” While volunteering in the gift shop at the Perth site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, a fellow volunteer mentioned the Canadian Cancer Society and its transportation program. With a love of driving and time to spare – and, “like a lot of families,” a personal connection to cancer – Fournier decided to join the program as a volunteer driver. The orientation process, she said, was simple. It involved a criminalrecord check, references and sessions to discuss potential scenarios while driving clients to their treatments and appointments. “You have to be empathetic, but
you can’t get so involved that it takes over your life,” Fournier stressed. “Some people want to talk about their situation, other people don’t.” Since becoming a volunteer driver in March of 2014, Fournier has driven more than 100 clients, of all ages and from all walks of life. “There is a need for it,” she explained. “There is never not a need.” Fournier has discovered that in addition to enjoying the drive to Ottawa or Kingston, she also appreciates getting to know the people she has driven. Sometimes she will drive a client once, other times she will take them to at least six or seven appointments over a short period of time. “I’ve met some really, really interesting people, people who have done amazing things,” she said. “They’re just living their lives – the common denominator is the will to live.” She admitted that she had expected people to be more morose about

Smiths Falls Heritage House Community Museum: Much more than a Victorian house Truman Russell Ward. 3. The two-storey privy at the museum stands out from the rest because it is the only remaining privy of its kind in eastern Canada, and because the double storey feature was highly rare for its time. This unique feature has earned the museum a spot in Ron Brown’s Top 125 Unusual Things to See in Ontario. The trek to this privy wasn’t long because it was attached and accessible on both levels of the home. Tourists frequently ask the big question, “How does it work?” Come in to the museum and see for yourself! 4. James H. MacGillvray may not be alive today, but his carpentry talent lives on through a fine-looking chest he built around 1880. His carpenter’s chest, which was constructed by alternating stripes of maple and walnut wood, is an impressive example of his skill. The intricate details on this chest make it a stand-out piece and a true representation of woodworking talent; especially since he only would have used hand tools. 5. What are marsh walkers or mud shoes? What most people consider to be snowshoes, marsh walkers found their use in the surrounding marshland. They

The following is the next installment in a series of monthly articles on local museums in Lanark County. This series is being offered in partnership with the Lanark County Museum Network. Are you looking to discover something unusual? If yes, then look no further than Smiths Falls Heritage House Community Museum to uncover some hidden and rather unusual treasures. The following is a small preview of five must-see features; 1. Have you ever seen a home with perfect symmetry? Experience the mirror image façade of Heritage House and take note of this unusual architecture for its time. Whether you approached the home from in front or behind, you would always be making your way towards a front door. 2. A teapot does not seem like an unusual sight, but the story that goes along with the blue teapot on display in the winter kitchen at Heritage House, makes it very peculiar and strange. Those restoring the house in the 1970s were surprised when they came across this object in the walls of the home. Some further investigation revealed that this is the one of the only objects in the house that can be traced back to the original second homeowner,

are designed to keep the wearer from sinking into the mud! And would have come in handy in this area. Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls certainly has its own story to tell. The museum has evolved over the years from a Victorian house to a heritage community museum. The Town of Smiths Falls acquired it in 1977 and with a committee of local volunteers worked tirelessly to prepare the museum to open to the public in 1981. Next year will mark the museum’s 35th year since opening. A walk through the museum
takes you back in time to eight period rooms. Heritage House Museum boasts a large collection of period artifacts, historical photographs, and archival material that help visitors discover what it was like to live in Smiths Falls in the 1860s and beyond. While the museum is usually thought of as a heritage home, its primary mandate is to serve as an institution for the history of the town of Smiths Falls. The museum functions as a resource and serves many community needs. The interior and exterior can be booked for weddings or photographs. Various community events, special workshops,
guest speakers, and art shows are also hosted throughout the year. The museum is also an excellent resource for teachers looking to add some engaging, hands on learning into their lesson plans or researchers looking for historical photographs or primary historical information. The Heritage House Museum also houses the Lanark Country Genealogical Society Reference Library and their accompanying archival documents. If you have ever wondered about your relatives in the area, this is the place to go to trace your family roots. Come and discover these
unique sights and more at Heritage House Museum. Currently underway is the museum’s 34th annual Art Show and Artisan Market that runs until Jan. 29. Also on Dec. 21 and Dec. 22, join us for Holly Days Jewelry Children’s Workshops. The museum is located at 11 Old Slys Road, Smiths Falls is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until Dec. 23. In the New Year the museum remains open during the week. Stay tuned for our upcoming winter workshops, and special events by following our Facebook page, The Heritage House Museum of Smiths Falls, or by calling us at 613-283-6311.

All decked out in twinkling lights, the Smiths Falls Heritage House Museum, above, is a sight to behold during the festive season. There are many surprises hidden inside the Victorian home, including this blue teapot, which was found within its walls when the museum underwent renovations in the 1970s. It has been traced back to second homeowner, Truman Russell Ward.

There were 56 original charter members when the Archbishop J.L Wilhem Assembly 2783 began in 2003. Some examples of how the Knights are important to a parish/community are: consistently supporting our priests and parishes; meeting the needs of those in our community that require our assistance such as our Coats for Kids and Food for Families and food bank donations, etc. by raising funds for programs that benefit people with disabilities such as the (Perth) Special Olympics (led by Perth Grand Knight Pat Loftus) and the
Arthritis Association; aiding victims of natural disasters and catastrophic events both locally and worldwide; by donating wheelchairs and mobility aids to those in need; visiting the sick and needy in our community, to name but a few of our endeavours. Charity is the first principle of the Knights of Columbus and to date we have worldwide donated more than $1.4 billion and more than 664 million volunteer hours in the past decade alone. There are more than 56,000 Knights in Ontario Canada alone, and more than 1.8 million Knights worldwide. There are more than 335,000 4th Degree Sir Knights worldwide. Some famous Knights have included: US President John F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Babe Ruth, Floyd Patterson, Vince Lombardi and Sargent Shriver to name but a few.

Charity – the joy of giving It’s the time of the year for joyful giving! You carefully select the gifts you give to those close to you, of course, but you may also be thinking about another kind of giving – charitable giving to support the worthy causes you care about. Ideally, your gift should help your charity while minimizing your taxes and other estate fees and preserving your legacy. Here’s how you can make the most of your charitable giving. Name a charity as your beneficiary This is your simplest option: In your will, simply leave a bequest of money or a gift in kind (such as securities or artwork) to a recognized charity. Your estate will receive a charitable donation receipt that could reduce the income tax on your final return and perhaps the immediately preceding return as well. Establish a Donor Advised Fund You will receive an immediate tax receipt for all contributions made to the fund while retaining the right to advise as to which charities are to receive your fund’s income. Establish a Charitable Remainder Trust This irrevocable trust holds assets such as cash and mutual funds. The interest and dividends are paid to you as taxable income. At the time of your death, the trust assets – known as the “remainder” – go to your designated charity. When you establish the trust, you will receive a donation receipt for the ‘remainder interest’ of the trust. Donate a life insurance policy while you live You will enjoy certain tax credits and your charity will receive the total death benefit under the policy.
Invest in life. Contact us for more information.
Manage Your Money Donate publicly funded stocks or securities You will get a tax receipt for their full value and will not pay tax on the capital gains of the donated securities. Establish a Charitable Life Annuity Set up the annuity for yourself, or for you and your spouse, and receive a lifetime income from the assets. Much of the annuity cash flow is tax-free and you will get a charitable receipt for a portion of the donations based on the amount of annuity income you receive and your life expectancy. Establish a Private Foundation When you make a substantial donation, establishing a foundation allows your name or family’s name to be permanently associated with the cause you’ve chosen. Give the gift of yourself: Volunteer Your charity will certainly make good use of your monetary donation – and you, when you choose to take an active role as a volunteer. To be sure you give and get the most from your charitable giving plan, talk to your legal and professional advisors This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Charity, unity and fraternity are the founding principles of the Knights of Columbus and our venerable founder, Father Michael J. McGivney started our order on March 29, 1882 and is in the process of being Canonized at this time. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic Fraternity of men worldwide. The Ladies of our Councils and Assemblies are instrumental and remain key in the success of all community/parish Knights of Columbus charitable functions and drives in all their respective communities, in both the 3rd Degree Councils and 4th Degree Assemblies and throughout our Order. A Council consists of Catholic men who have progressed through the 1st-2nd to 3rd Degree status of our Order. By choice a 3rd Degree Knight can then attain 4th Degree status. The 4th Degree is the highest degree of the order of Knights of Columbus. A Knight is eligible to join the 4th Degree after completing the first, second and third degrees of the order and is thereafter referred to as Sir Knight. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism and to encourage active Catholic citizenship, in addition to the order’s three basic tenets. They are often referred to as the ‘visible arm of the Knights,’ due to the wearing of regalia (naval chapeau, sword, cape, etc.) in parades and social events and on more somber occasions such as funerals, whereby we honour the passing of a fellow Knight and pay our respects to the surviving family members.

My Take
Mark haskins
understands, but Max is still struggling. Then Max’s Uncle Howard (David Koechner), Aunt Linda (Allison Tolman), Great Aunt Dorothy (Conchata Ferrell) and his cousins show up to make a difficult time even worse. They’re rude and obnoxious, but they’re family. Everyone is pushed to the breaking point, but it’s Max who finally snaps when his cousins read his letter to Santa. It causes Max to lose faith, and when that happens it opens the door for Krampus. Krampus is an ancient demon who steals those who have lost their faith, and takes them to his own personal underworld. He traps Max’s family in snow and ice. Then with his minions, Krampus terrorizes the family as he picks them off one by one. At this point I was led to believe hilarity would en-
sue. It didn’t. Krampus is billed as a horror comedy. Well it is horrific though not really scary. As for the comedy, not so much. This film is bad. It isn’t bad, but still fun to watch. It isn’t so bad you have to see it to believe it. It isn’t guilty pleasure bad. It’s just plain bad. Worse than that, it’s boring – utterly predictable right to the very end. Most of the cast are names you don’t know, and will soon forget. It isn’t that Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, and Allison Tolman don’t manage to look scared at the appropriate times, it’s just that you’re so bored you don’t care. You’ll probably recognize David Koechner and Conchata Ferrell as they phone it in, but that’s only if you bother to see Krampus, and you really shouldn’t. I’ve been a fan of Adam Scott since Parks and Rec. I think he’s incredibly funny. Toni Collette is a gifted actor with remarkable depth and range. So I want to make it clear that I’m not angry with them over this film. I’m just very disappointed. Krampus is best avoided at all costs. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: Krampus STARRING: Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, Allison Tolman and Conchata Ferrell RATING: 14A So this week Hollywood hates me. Most of the time this is a great gig. Other times you have to sit through 96 minutes of Krampus. I think Krampus just became my new curse word. We begin our morality play with rampant consumerism as an angry mob assaults a box store. In the centre of the store a school puts on a nativity scene that has also fallen into chaos as the donkey, and one of the wise men beat the living tar out of each other. Fortunately the parents are able to break things up. The donkey in question is Max (Emjay Anthony), and Max just wants a happy, peaceful Christmas. The trouble is his parents, Tom (Adam Scott) and Sarah (Toni Collette) are a little stressed with work and the holidays. His sister, Beth (Stefania LaVie Owen) would rather spend time with her boyfriend than her family. His grandmother Omi (Krista Stadler)

A parent’s perspective – How United Way supports YAK Youth Services United Way Lanark County provides funding to help support organized programs for youth ages 10 to 18 offered through YAK Youth Services in Perth. YAK prides itself on working closely with their young members to develop and deliver fun, timely and meaningful activities that the youth, their families and the community will appreciate. YAK’s program staff create opportunities for growth and makes referrals for families when necessary. Recently, YAK received a letter from the parent of one of the ‘Yakkers’ – what youth who attend the Centre call themselves – who regularly participates in after-school and summer programs. The letter reads: “I know you guys focus on the kids you are involved with but I wanted to give you a different perspective – one from a parent’s point of view. All of you are so focused on what you’re doing for the youth, but you should never forget how important you are to the parents of the kids you support. Being a teenager today is so much different than it was when today’s parents were growing up. Sometimes it’s hard as a parent to understand what our kids

YAK Youth Services in Perth are one agency funded by United Way Lanark County. The funding helps support organized programs for youth aged 10 to 18. Above, some of the youth who benefit from YAK’s programming. are going through and what we should be doing to help them. There are so many social issues as well as so much social media that didn’t exist when we were teenagers. I’ve come up with an analogy. Raising a teenager is like setting up a 150 square foot tent with all the instructions written in a foreign language. We parents get all the raw materials and (for years) we do our best getting them out of the box. Then we have no clue what to do. We lay out the materials and know what the end-product should be, but have no idea how to make it happen. We have the canvas, stakes and supports, but no direction as to where they
should go or how to fit them together. So we lay everything out and hope for the best. We try to put square pegs in round holes; we try to raise the roof without proper supports. Sometimes our tent leans a bit to the left and sometimes it completely collapses. Honestly, today’s parents are lost (myself included). But then YAK comes along. YAK doesn’t put up the tent for us but you help us translate the instructions. When we can’t understand those foreign language instructions, you give us a phone number for people who do understand. You are every parent’s referral to a ‘teen language’
translator. Once we get the basic idea of how to do things and we’re on the right track, it’s YAK that jumps-in to help put the tent together. You hold one end of the tent while we parents try to figure out how to get the other end secured. You help us raise the tent. YAK helps keep things steady and stable while we figure out how to get the right supports in place. YAK walks us through it all with plenty of encouragement and cheers us on. In the end, the best result is a tent that can stand strong and proud against any storm. I’m a YAK parent and I will never be able to thank you enough for all that you do – not only for my

Councillor Donovan Arnaud seeks to promote sustainable growth in community Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Donovan Arnaud, recently appointed councillor, is his own man. He was born and raised in Montreal. “I grew up in Rouyn-Noranda,” he said. “My dad was a railroad man. It was a great place to grow up; to be a kid and a teenager.” After high school, Arnaud joined the Royal Canadian Navy at the age of 18. “You come out of high school – you don’t know who you are or what you want to do,” said Arnaud. “Life is an adventure.” He said after two years in the Navy, he decided he wanted more out of life. He returned to Montreal, where he studied life sciences at Sir George Williams University. “Then I rejoined the Navy as an officer for 25 years,” he said. “I loved it. I really enjoyed being in the Navy. Loved the travelling. Loved the job. It was a great career.” He concluded his naval career around the same time he moved to North Grenville, in 1989. “I finished up my career as a reserve officer,” said Arnaud. “I decided to move here and I’ve lived here ever since.” He’s always felt comfortable in North Grenville, he said. “I enjoy the people, the climate and the pace of life,” he said. He has two daughters – Olivia and Genevieve – who both grew up and went to school in North Grenville. He began working for the federal government, during the Brian Mulroney era, as a senior ministerial official. He retired two years ago from
the federal government. He has watched the town of Kemptville grow rapidly over the past 26 years. “Kemptville used to be very small,” said Arnaud. “Then it started to grow. I remember we joked one day, while driving through town we noticed a new Tim Hortons and said, wow, we have arrived.” He said he’s seen many new things arrive in Kemptville, such as the Ontario Provincial Police station, the North Grenville Fire Hall, the high schools and the North Grenville Municipal Centre. “During the interview, I was asked what I thought was the most compelling priority for North Grenville – not in those words, but the same kind of idea,” he said. “I responded with a single word - growth. This community has been growing for some time and growing exponentially. There are new and exciting things all the time. One of my main priorities serving on council – one of the reasons I wanted to serve – is because we, as a community, must manage this growth.” Growth must be sustainable and contribute to making our community a great place to live, he said. “If we don’t manage the growth, it will overtake us,” said Arnaud. “I have since learned that mandate is a part of this municipality’s mandate already.” The growth in North Grenville is exciting and he looks forward to helping with the ongoing process of growth, he said. “That’s why I put my name forward,” he commented. “Having retired, I am now in a position to commit a lot of time to this position. I am going to be very busy with council business, but it’s what I call a happy

Donovan Arnaud was sworn in as councillor at the Nov. 23 council meeting. His wife, Jennifer Franssen, looks on as he signs the official papers. He is familiar with all the other members of council, except councillor Jim Bertram, who he only recently met. “Him and I will become fast friends, I can tell,” he said. “We have very similar values and beliefs.” He is going to approach his new role as councillor as his own man. “I will weigh things on their merit,” said Arnaud. “I live my life based on common sense and logic. I have been my own person my whole life – 25 years in the Navy will teach you that. I think things through carefully, based on good information, to make informed decisions.” Governing is all about making choices. “Not just living for today, but for the future as well,” he said. “We have to create opportunities for future generations, so they can look forward to
staying here. It’s a multi-generational issue.” He will serve on the North Grenville Accessible Transportation board of directors, the Economic Development Committee and work with the planning and development department, as assigned by Mayor David Gordon. “If I had the choice, those are the roles I would have asked for,” said Arnaud. Growth must be conducted in a financially responsible way. “There are no money trees growing in Kemptville,” he said. “Raising taxes is not something we can do willy-nilly. We have to be mindful of the fact there are people in this community living on fixed incomes and have to respect that.” See New Councillor page K7

busy.” He is also involved with the Anglican Church, the Kemptville Rotary Club and the Navy League of Canada. “I deeply believe in volunteerism,” said Arnaud. “It’s the lifeblood of any community.” He said North Grenville is by far the most generous community he’s ever lived in. “Not just in terms of money, but time,” he said. “There are so many organizations in this community that help people. It’s amazing to see all these organizations. It’s very impressive and really shows the richness of the community. Richness is not just measured by economy, but also by the spirit the people.” Living in a community like North Grenville is a blessing, having travelled all over Canada and the world with the Navy, he said. “We are very lucky to live in this community,” said Arnaud. “We got a great thing going here.” The reception he has received from municipal staff, the mayor and fellow councillors has been wonderful, warm and welcoming. “I appreciate that a lot,” he said. “I’m the new kid on the block and I jumped into the deep end of the pool.” He has never served in municipal office before. “My wife was a senior member of municipal staff out west at one time and has coached me in the nuances of municipal government – how it’s structured and functions,” said Arnaud. “What I need to learn is the nuances of this particular community. It will be a learning curve for the first little while, but I am feeling very comfortable right now.”

“You would set the budget and we would look at what we can get for that. We have interest from sponsors who would like to come into this with us.” “Just to clarify, tonight is about you presenting before budget preparations begin so the directors are aware of what the public is interested in,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin.

The Oxford Mills Community Association presented a request for funds to build a new gazebo in Maplewood Park at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Nov. 16. “Thank you for the opportunity to speak to the committee tonight about input for the budgeting process this year,” said David Habberjam, OMCA member. “And we want to talk about replacing the gazebo that was in Maplewood Park.” The gazebo was torn down due to safety issues pertaining to its structural integrity. He explained the OMCA, which has been in existence for 35 years, provides recreational and community based activities in Oxford Mills. “These events that we provide – theatre in the park, Canada Day – a lot of them are done in the park,” said Habberjam. “Up until now, we’ve had the gazebo there, which we could use as part of the facilities.” He explained the gazebo has been an attractive feature in the park historically. “When we lost the gazebo, we feel we lost a bit of the identity of the park,” said Habberjam. “We also used the gazebo for some of our events in the park, so we do feel that we miss it, to some extent.” He said although the gazebo wasn’t large, it provided a focal point in the park. “We feel it should be replaced, to make the park more attractive again,” said Habberjam. He said the OMCA is looking for a larger gazebo than what was there previously. “In checking around with various people who manufacture gazebos, we’ve looked at gazebos anything from 14 to 16 foot.” He explained the estimated cost of a gazebo that size is about $10,000. “We also would like to have electric power in there because, as you know, some of our events we’ve had a stage in there and up until now we’ve had to run that power across from the Town Hall, which is not the best,” said Habberjam. He explained the OMCA would like to help with the gazebo. “If the council would include in the budget something towards this, we would be prepared to work with council on a joint venture type basis to do some of the work – get the ground prepared, or whatever you’ve decided,” said Habberjam. He said the extra function of the electric power to the gazebo would enable the municipality to better market the park for events such as weddings. “In rentals, coming downstream, we believe this would improve your ability market the park as an attractive facility in North Grenville,” said Habberjam. “I love the gazebo up there and I think it’s actually a tourist attraction and I think it would be a shame to not have a gazebo there,” said Mayor Da-

NGAT asks for continued financial support from municipality Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
A representative from North Grenville Accessible Transportation presented a request for continued municipal support and funding at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Nov. 16. “As North Grenville Accessible Transportation approaches its 17th year of operation, it is my pleasure to come before you as you start your budget negotiations,” said NGAT Chair Don Gilchrist. “We thank you for your continued support and past funding, and hope both will remain.” He said he would like to take a few minutes to inform the committee of NGAT’s service delivery to the community. “NGAT continues to be a non-profit organization managed by a volunteer
group of individuals and business people from our community,” said Gilchrist. “This past year we have had some membership turnover as a result of retirement and movement, with Councillor Tim Sutton being the most recent. The board appreciated Councillor Barb Tobin filling in, in the interim, and hopes this role remains.” He explained the NGAT board continues to actively promote awareness for the need for accessible transportation in North Grenville. He said they meet on a monthly basis to ensure the day to day operation of driver dispatch service runs efficiently for individuals using the service and to monitor financials. “We have had a very busy year not only in building community awareness, but also participating in a number of fundraising

projects to maintain affordable and accessible transportation in North Grenville,” said Gilchrist. “Much effort went into this past summer in selling tickets for a guitar that was donated by Class Axe. In addition, board members spent the weekend of the Kemptville Live Music Festival selling tickets. Over $1,700 was raised in this project. We were fortunate to have two OPP fundraising barbeques hosted on behalf of NGAT. We began planning for the United Way North Grenville Spaghettifest in August and partnered with the Kemp-
tville Youth Centre and Kemptville District Home Support to host our fourth successful event at the North Grenville District High School on Oct. 3. NGAT will continue to participate in the 2015 United Way Campaign through to the end of this year selling tickets and chocolate bars.” He explained the other project that continues to generate revenue for NGAT is the mobile signage campaign. “Local businesses continue to be satisfied with the idea their business is so visible around the community,” said Gilchrist.
He explained NGAT had a good year financially. “We had projected a $1,700 loss, but managed a $3,464 profit, as a result of low vehicle maintenance and extra gift funding,” said Gilchrist. He said NGAT intends to apply to the Trillium Foundation for funding to replace the current bus, which is five-yearsold. He explained the reason for replacing the bus is wear and tear pertaining to the lift, which could be costly for repairs. In 2015, NGAT received a municipal grant totaling $15,000.

and streaming services. “We have found our circulation of print material basically is remaining the same,” said Higgins. “Circulation of eBooks and audio books is going through the roof, so we have to continue to buy print and also buy electronic. We have not gotten into the streaming services, though there is pressure from the public to do so.” She said in 2016, the library hopes to connect to the public through surveys, focus groups and reaching out to non-users. “Our current strategic plan is until 2017, so in the last quarter of 2016, we’ll be looking for a new strategic plan for 2017 to 2020,” said Higgins. She said they are continuing to work on the emphasis of the library as a community hub. “We continue to work towards the revitalization of the downtown,” said Higgins. “We’re bringing the people in and we have to make sure those people continue throughout the downtown.” She said in the 2016 library budget, as a service industry, salaries make up the largest portion of the operating budget. “We have calculated a .9 per cent cost of living increase, as required,” said Higgens. “Our grid increases are 3.6 per cent. All the staff are slowly moving up the grid and that will continue for the next five years.” She explained there is a 10.8 per cent increase in collections, for the databases. “Our provincial household funding remains stagnant, at the same funding level as 1997,” said Higgins. “We are requesting a 3.6 per cent increase in our municipal grant, but we do want to consider the e-resources collection and the databases – eBooks and eAudio books - is an eligible cost for development charges, and if we took $5,000 from development charges, that would bring our increase down to 2.4 per cent.” She explained the total municipal grant for 2016 would go up to roughly $370,000.
Kemptville District Hospital Tree of Lights Ceremony a great success! With favourable weather, beautiful Christmas carols from members of the Grenville Community Choir, and a Bar B Q hosted by the Kemptville Lions, the 14th annual Tree Lighting on the front lawn of the Hospital was a resounding success. As part of the festivities donors, supporters, staff, volunteers, patients and families came together to enjoy Christmas treats and share experiences. “Getting together like this reminds us how important the Hospital has been, and continues to be to this community” says Joanne Mavis, Executive Director, Kemptville District Hospital Foundation. Our title sponsor is Hydro One and we would like to thank the following Hydro One personnel who generously volunteered their personal time to string the lights on the tree, Shawn Mitchell, Regional Line Maintainer, Scott Steadman, Regional Forestry Maintainer, Jordan Randell, Regional Forestry Maintainer (Apprentice). We would like to also acknowledge the Supervisory Staff at Hydro One, Tanner Whyte (Lines), Jeff Johnston (Forestry) and Doug Wilson (Forestry)

Representatives from the North Grenville Public Library presented a request for an increased municipal grant in 2016 at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Nov. 16. “With the approval of the 2015 budget, we were able to have a second full-time staff member, which made a huge difference in the day-to-day operations of the library,” said Sue Higgins, NGPL CEO. “The Friends of the (NGP) Library continue to provide support for our children programs, maker spaces, our teen programs and Youngsters of Yore, our seniors program.” She explained the library received funding from the province, which paid for the new NGPL website. “I encourage all of you to take a look at it and browse through the website to see all the things that are happening at the library,” said Higgins. She explained the Burritts Rapids branch of the library received a refresh this year. “Basically, there isn’t a lot we can do with that building, but we tried to make it a little more inviting to the community,” said Higgins. She explained the library board continued its work towards accreditation. “In 2014, we had 19 volunteers, who provided 750 hours of service,” said Higgins. “And in 2015, to date, we’ve had 15 volunteers, who have provided 650 hours of service.” She said the library continues to attract, on average, 8,000 people through its doors every month. “That’s bringing 8,000 people every month into the downtown area,” said Higgins. She explained there are challenges for 2016. “The province has created new priorities for funding,” said Higgins. “This is funding of a global selection of databases, which has been cut. We’ve been receiving a number of databases; things such as ancestry.com to consumer health and auto repair. They’ve all been provided free of charge for the last three or four years. They are providing, in 2015 and 2016, sudden capacity building funds, to help with the added costs of those databases.” She explained the cost of books, both in print and electronic, have increased due to the falling Canadian dollar. “The cost of eBooks continues to be an issue for public libraries,” said Higgins. She explained there is an increased demand for digital resources, such as eBooks, eAudio

Salvation Army Angel Trees provide gifts for local families in need Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Every child deserves a Christmas present. The Salvation Army Angel Trees are up in two locations in Kemptville this year; Jonsson’s Independent and Walmart. “Qualifying families accessing services at the Salvation Army are able to indicate their favourite gift ideas and toys for their children,” explained Erin Wong, Salvation Army Kemptville Director. “Those specific requests are put on angel tags and hung on the Angel Trees.” She explained the Angel Trees are
a simple way to help parents provide a special Christmas for their kids that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. “People can chose one of the angel tags, which list three gift ideas for each child,” said Wong. “They purchase the gifts and then return them to the Angel Tree.” She explained families in need are under added pressures in the winter months, due to increased heating costs and other factors, and Christmas can be an especially difficult time for struggling families. “Each family is able to put three items per child,” said Wong. She said roughly 110 families, some

For more information about the Angel Trees, or to donate to the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign, call (613)-258-3583 or visit www.salvationarmykemptville.com. The Salvation Army Kettle Campaign is always in need of bell ringers for the kettles in Kemptville. If you have a spare couple of hours to volunteer, contact Charly Stewart by emailing Christmas.kettles2015@gmail. com. All funds raised through the Kettle Campaign stay in Kemptville.

Book Fair. “So the parents can chose books for their kids when they come to pick up the toys,” said Wong. “We have tables laid out that day with books, stocking stuffers, Christmas candy and baby items. They can help themselves to those items.” The Angel Trees will remain up until Dec. 18, which is when the toys will be distributed to local families. The Royal LePage Toy Mountain toy drive, in conjunction with the Angel Trees, will all go to local children via the Salvation Army. She explained the toys go directly to the parents, who then give them to

with multiple children, apply for the Angel Tree program annually. Hundreds of gifts are needed each year for local children. “Applications are still being accepted for the program,” she said. “In the past, we’ve been fortunate to be able to purchase any toys for children whose names were not chosen from the Angel Tree, so no child has to go without a present at Christmas, which is remarkable.” She said every year members of the St. James Anglican Church in Kemptville, along with the Rotary Club, purchases books from the Kemptville Youth Centre’s O’Farrell Financial

The Salvation Army would like to extend a thank-you to the local resident who recently brought an issue to their attention. “People are mistaking the recycling bin for books at the Thrift Store for the book donation spot,” said Erin Wong, Director of the Salvation Army. She explained the Salvation Army strongly supports literacy in the community, through medians such as a partnership with St. James Anglican Church in Kemptville and the Kemptville Rotary Club to provide free books to families in need at Christmas time and providing low-cost books to the community at the Thrift Store. “We also have a free lending library in the church,” said Wong. “These are just some of the ways we promote literacy.”

She said the reality with a second-hand store is some items are not fit for sale. “Some books we receive need to be recycled, not sent to the landfill, because they are unsellable due to the condition – ripped or mouldy,” she said. “Also, some books contain content that is not in line with the Salvation Army mission, such as excessive violence and erotica. Items we won’t put on our shelves.” The Salvation Army is going to rectify the issue of improperly placed donations. “We are taking measures to rectify the issue of good books ending up in the recycling bin,” said Wong. “All donations should be brought to the donation doors to be taken inside, anytime between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Monday to Saturday.

Refugees and me
I never wonder about why I am here – mainly because I know exactly how I came to be Canadian. A long, long time ago, my great grandmother was hanging laundry on the line outside in Holland. Then, poof – God told her she must move her family to Canada. So she did. And here I am. Not too many generations ago, my family were foreigners to Canada. They came here with nothing, worked hard all their lives, had babies and flourished in the country I now call home. That is the story of how I came to be Canadian – I am sure many of you reading this have similar stories. I always tell other Canadians we won the geographical lottery – I am one of the luckiest 35 million people on Earth. True story. Being Canadian is a major part of my identity. I love freedom - freedom of speech, freedom of religion and equality across gender and ethnic lines. So I love this country. Simple. Being Canadian is about accepting all people, whether north American, African, Chinese, Australian, Lebanese, Brazilian or Syrian. We are all the same, which is a fundamental aspect of being Canadian. They call it the ‘melting pot.’ I just call it life. I would never judge a person based on the colour of their skin, religion, or opinions. I do, however, reserve the right to judge a person based on character. As you all know, Canada is opening its figurative doors to thousands of Syrian refugees, who have been misplaced from their homes due to war and drought. Many people have their own opinions about whether this is right or wrong. After all, some argue, we may be clearing a path
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
for extremists to enter Canada. My first thought when I hear this argument is ‘don’t you know extremists are already here?’ Look at the man who shot Nathan Cirillo in cold blood. Should we be worrying more about Syrian refugees or misguided Canadians? Every nation has extremists, rapists, murderers, psychopaths and corrupt politicians. We all have bad guys. Saying we shouldn’t accept people to our country who have lost their homes to war – those who fought their way, often with their families in tow, to safety – because they may be bad is liken to saying we should never let kids Trick or Treat because a piece of candy may contain a razor blade. This way of thinking is completely devoid of common sense. Here’s how I see it – refugees need help, we have the ability to help, so let’s do it. Never had a second thought about it. A dollar value can’t be put on a human life. I would give every dollar I had to save a human life, without hesitation. Good on the government for pushing ahead with the move to house 25,000 Syrian refugees. Roll out the welcome mat and hopefully more will come as time goes on.

Kids Christmas Wish Radiothon Dec. 10 and 11
Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Music for a good cause. On Dec. 10 and 11, tune in to 97.5 Juice FM for the third annual Kids Christmas Wish Radiothon, in support of the Salvation Army. “Last year, we raised $9,200 for the Salvation Army,” explained station host Drew Hosick. “We wouldn’t mind passing the $10,000 mark this year. We want to raise as much money as we can for a great local organization.” He said all the money raised during the radiothon will go directly to the Kemptville Salvation Army, to support services for those in need locally. “A lot of things go on behind the scenes at the Salvation Army that people don’t know about,” he said. “They do great things in this community every day.” He said the radiothon will run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days, during which time the station will be broadcasting live. “It’s going to be great,” he said. “People can call in to pledge a donation, or drop donations off here at the station, located at 4 Industrial Road off South Gower Drive in Kemptville. Or you can send us an email to make a pledge.” Call the station directly at (613)-258-0467 or email Hosick at dhosick@juicefm.ca to make a pledge during the radiothon. He said the station keeps a list of pledges, so the Salvation Army can keep track of funds coming in. “A lot of people like to stop by the station during the radiothon,” said Hosick. He said many local artists will be coming to the station to perform during the radiothon. Other guests will include members of North Grenville Council, area business leaders and the directors of the Salvation Army. “Some local businesses have sponsored an hour of the radiothon and all the funds from that go to the Salvation Army too,” he said. He said the radiothon is the station’s way of promoting a great local organization. “They do amazing work in this community; through the food bank and helping people in times of need,” he said. “Especially at Christmas – what they do for local kids.” He said in past years local students, from St. Michael Catholic High School and South Branch Public School, have come to the station to perform. “We generally do a live interview every hour or two,” said Hosick. “We’ll be playing a lot of Christmas music and taking requests too.”

Local group part of largest climate mobilization in the history of Ottawa Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
A sense of togetherness. Members of Sustainable North Grenville, along with members of Transition Brockville, took part in the 100% Possible Climate March in Ottawa on Nov. 29. A total of 25,000 people participated in the march, which focused on raising awareness about renewable energy sources. John Brauneisen, of Kemptville Transportation Service, donated the bus used to transport the 24 individuals
from SNG and TB to Ottawa. “We filled the bus,” said SNG member Diana Steadman. The members from SNG brought banners, signs depicting 100% Renewable 2050 and hard hats with solar panels on the front and wind mills on the back. “Tom Graham (SNG member) decorated his bike and brought that too,” said Steadman. “We all marched together.” She explained organizers of the march anticipated a crowd of about 10,000. “The number 100 was formed on Parliament Hill, but there
wasn’t enough space inside the numbers to fit us all,” she said. The march began at Ottawa City Hall, where participants gathered to hear speakers, including David Suzuki. The marchers then proceeded to the National Gallery of Canada and onto Parliament Hill. “We didn’t know what to expect,” said Steadman. “There was a sense of coming together, which is always very energizing.” The theme of the march in Ottawa was 100% Possible for 100% Renewable by 2050. “The sub-theme was
GARDENER’S CORNER
Elixir of Life
This will be published on December 10th. Two weeks before Christmas Eve and three weeks before New Year’s eve. Another year gone. It’s been quite a year. I retired from the nursery, our grandson turned two years old and our 96 year old Dad passed quietly in his sleep after struggling with dementia. Our youngest daughter and her betrothed bought their first home. I haven’t stopped gardening, I have just not been at the nursery to help other gardeners. I still enjoy helping anyone that emails me as a result of this column. As this year comes to an end I think about all the things I enjoyed about the nursery and the things I didn’t. I loved to see Ken and Sheila or Rick and Crystal pull in the parking lot. They were more than customers, they were friends. They knew their stuff and we laughed and shared experience. I got to visit their gardens. When I committed to be at their place to plant a tree, I was there when promised. Regardless of weather or a lack of the necessary equipment. It made a huge difference. Customers always appreciated the fact that you fulfilled a commitment. Then there were the customers that drove me nuts. I had one woman that spent forty five minutes picking my brain about the care and feeding of Emerald Cedars.

justice and jobs,” said Steadman. “We see it as an issue of justice that the people being most impacted by extreme climate events are the ones living in developing nations. They are losing their homes and jobs.” She explained Syria is a good example of that, with a four-year historical drought that forced farmers into cities - incapable of handling the increased demand - seeking employment to feed their families. “It creates a heightened desperation and tension,” she said. “By 2050, scientists are predicting 200 million cli-

The family that abandoned their kids only to find the tykes pegging rocks at my ducks in the pond also raised my ire. The year before I retired propane prices went absolutely nuts and the spring was unusually cold. We were spending $1000.00 a week keeping the annuals alive in the greenhouse. We raised the prices by .49 cents. Some of the customers got really ugly about the increase. Enough with the negative. There were more positives. In the last few years we hired the best of staff. Tom was the hardest worker I have ever known. He worked endless hours with humour and talent. Karine was an underemployed engineering grad that only needed to be shown something once. She got it. She was so good with the customers and a wonky debit terminal. The boss’s son Sven would also work endless hours doing all the things most would find menial. He enjoyed every hour. Gardener’s are a different breed. We take pleasure in growing things. We don’t consider it work. We see the results of our efforts. We see the blooms, the birds, the butterflies and the seeds. I’ve retired from the nursery but not from growing. It’s been a remarkable year of change. Growth in the family and yes, death. It’s all part of the cycle. Angie and I are fortunate to experience the elixir of life. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com
mate refugees.” She said when you look at the growth in the renewable energy sector versus fossil fuel sector, there is no comparison. “This whole notion of the environment versus the economy is a false choice,” she said. She said climate change is a daunting issue. “Being a part of these marches allows you to connect on a wonderful level,” she said. “It’s very restorative.” She said the purpose of the march was to encourage the Government to transition to renewable energy Submitted sources now, not ten years Members of Sustainable North Grenville and Transition from now.

The South Mountain Agricultural Hall has been given a new lease on life. Originally a pole barn and known locally as the Ag. Hall, the structure was in serious need of some TLC. Extensive exterior renovations to the building began in the spring and concluded in time for the annual South Mountain Fair 2015. Phase one, including the remodeling of all the bathrooms, removing the old tin from the exterior, re-insulating and removing the asbestos, repairing the cracked foundation, installing two new furnaces, wheelchair accessible doors, a new water heater and water softener, is now complete. “We felt if we didn’t continue, then it would never get done,” said Anna Smail, MTAS Director. Funds for phase two of the renovations have already begun to roll in, including a $25,000 grant from Farm Credit Canada, which was presented to the Mountain Township Agricultural Society on Dec. 4. “Anything that benefits the community is the intent of the agri-spirit,” said Tanya Zandbelt, FCC representative. Plans for phase two, slated to begin in April 2016, include expanding the kitchen into the bay area of the hall, all new flooring and finishing the bar area. The funds from FCC will be put towards new flooring for the hall and the kitchen expansion. “The kitchen we have now is not functional,” said Smail, who explained a large portion of the bay area is currently just wasted space. “The new kitchen will be twice the size. It’s a matter of improving functionality.” She said the new kitchen will have lower counters to make them handicap accessible. The MTAS is still in need of funds for phase two and is seeking community donations to help complete the hall renovations in 2016. “The Mountain and District Lions Club has been very generous,” she said. “They have committed $40,000 over five years to this project.” The total anticipated cost of phase one was $350,000, although the project is currently under budget. She explained Ontario Trillium Grants helped cover the cost of the bathroom and exterior renovations. She said the trades’ people who did the work were also good about cutting the MTAS deals, where possible. “Everything is up to code now,” she said. “This building is used a lot,” said Rhonda Holmes, Hall Manager. “We have the Weight Watchers, seniors, Lions and Zumba in here every week, on top of annual events and funerals.” Phase two is expected to take roughly two months to complete, during which the hall will be shut down. “Waiting until the spring gives us

“What would really make a difference is taxing carbon,” said Steadman. “These large corporations are allowed to pollute for free. We should be taxing them on emissions. Then, we could apply that money to incentives for Canadians who want to invest in renewable energy. There are so many possible solutions. What’s really hopeful is with the new Government in place, they are working on bringing all the provinces together to support the transition to combat climate change.” She said the country is returning to an enlightened era. “I feel like things are changing,” she said. The march, which is being referred to as the largest climate mobilization in the history of Ottawa, was organized by a Canadian coalition of notfor-profits, such as 350.org and Ecology Ottawa. “All the groups came together by drawing from their own networks, which is a model for success for climate change,” said Steadman. “We’re going up against the most powerful corporations in the world; the fossil fuel energy sector. We need to come together to put pressure on political leaders to take action.” Globally, around 785,000 people marched in 2,300 events in 175 countries around the world during the weekend of Nov. 28 and 29, according to 350.org. All marches and rallies were intended to send a message to world leaders who met for the COP21 climate talks in Paris. “In Paris, they planned a big march, but with the heightened security following the attacks, they ended up doing an artistic exhibit of 10,000 shoes left in Place de la Republique to signify the people who would have marched,” she said. “They also did a human chain in Paris, all around the city.”

Committee seeks support for allocation of $7,000 towards Doors Open event Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The Heritage Advisory Committee is seeking council’s support to allocate funds for a Doors Open event in 2016. “It has recently come to the attention of the Heritage Advisory Committee that there has been some funds allocated in this calendar year to lay the ground work for a Doors Open event in 2016,” said Phil Mosher, Planner. “A Doors Open is an event that started in France. In 2002, the event came to Toronto. Every year, Doors Open events attract large crowds across Ontario.” He explained from April to October, visitors are invited to discover Ontario’s hidden heritage treasures,
some of which have never been open to the public. “Since the program was launched in Ontario in 2002, there have been over six million visits made to heritage sites participating in this exciting initiative,” he said. “Doors Open Ontario, now considered a cultural phenomenon, will continue in 2016, with hundreds of communities participating across the province.” He explained while some funds had been committed to this event for this calendar year, there had not yet been any funds for the heritage budget allocated to specific projects for the 2016 fiscal year. “On top of that, in order to register for a Doors Open event in 2016, communities must pay a registration fee of
$1,500 plus HST by Dec. 18, 2015,” said Mosher. “So if the committee is to spend this money to register for the event, which was forecasted for this year’s budget, without undertaking the event in 2016, it would be a loss of money and a loss of return on investment.” He explained the committee is not seeking additional funds above what would normally be forecasted. “Of the funds, which are planned to be allocated to that committee, the Heritage Advisory Committee is seeking a resolution of council to the allocation of $7,000 of that budget towards this 2016 Doors Open event,” he explained. He said the committee also has plans to host a symposium in 2016 and various other events as they may
arise. “I would also like to highlight some of the things the Heritage Advisory Committee has done with the money that has been allocated to it in the past,” said Mosher. “This year, the committee was able to undertake the heritage murals program, which successfully installed three murals along the retaining wall near the south branch of the public library. As well, we were involved in the heritage awards night in February and have undertaken to complete a heritage register. In 2014, a heritage symposium was successfully hosted and several plaques were installed in the community. That also happened in 2013; plaques were installed in the community.” He explained the average operat-
ing budget for the committee in recent years has been approximately $15,000, which has been provided by council to do this great work. “It’s really exciting, as a staff person, to be working on this program and to see the dollars are being well spent,” said Mosher. He said he hopes council will pass a resolution to allocate existing, planned for dollars, in 2016 to the Doors Open event. “I appreciate you finding the dollar figures for the previous two years that we’ve had around $15,000, but the committee should be prepared if you’re spending $7,000 and you get $10,000, then you’re left with $3,000,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “That’s a possibility. The $15,000 is not guaranteed at this time.”

Fill-a-Bag campaign brings in an estimated $37,000 worth of food The North Grenville Community Church, which has spearheaded the Fill-A-Bag campaign since its inception seven years ago, extended thanks to everyone who took part in the 2015 campaign - to everyone who prepared the bags, distributed bags, filled a bag, picked up the bags, helped with parking lot control and unloading vehicles, handed out refreshments, other administrative duties and finally those who have already started sorting the food. The campaign was a tremendous success – bringing in an estimated $37,000 worth of food. In total, 1500 bags were collected so far. Pictured are the bags of food collected for the Salvation Army Food Bank and the volunteers sorting food in the background.

Moose and Jasmine are two friends who have been living together for the past ten years. A few weeks ago they lost their home but found a new lease on life at Big Sky Ranch. Both lived on a farm in the Ottawa east area. The owner of the farm was told he had cancer a few months ago and decided to sell his farm and move into the city to be closer to the hospital and to family. The fate of Moose, a donkey and his long-time friend Jasmine, an Arabian horse, both 17 years old, was left up in the air. In the back of the farmer’s mind was the realization that there was a large horse meat export industry in Canada and he did not want the two friends to meet an untimely end. That was when he called up Andy Parent, the founder of Big Sky Ranch. “He called us,” recalled Parent. “Who else can you call?” Moose and Jasmine now reside in an environment where they are loved, are together and are well cared for. The two friends, unlike some other animals, will enjoy their sunset years with visits from visitors to Big Sky Ranch. The animals at the ranch are blissfully unaware of how fortunate they are and of the enormous funding required for staff at the ranch to continue their work. The stalls that Jasmine and Moose live in are only available because the ranch went ahead with construction of their Barn of Hope. The new barn freed up seven more stalls in the original barn.
The ranch has been very fortunate by having members of the general public help them as much as they can with donations. Parent’s dream would be to find a corporate sponsor who could give the ranch some consistent funding. The new barn called the “Barn of Hope” cost the Big Sky Ranch around $50,000. The ranch did not have all the money it needed and had to use its meagre reserves to build the structure. The ranch also launched a Joe Morin/METROLAND Go Fund Me website and to date has been able to raise Moose the donkey at Big Sky Ranch. $7,000. The new barn has made all of the difference to the animals that now live there. Apart from Moose and Jasmine, who now have room in the old barn, there are 15 sheep, seven goats and numerous other animals that would not have a home except for the ranch. “The need to help never ends,” said Parent. “We are not out to save the world but if you look after your own backyard I hope that people will look after you.” He said if they had not gone ahead with the barn there would not have been any room for Jasmine and Moose. Big Sky Ranch is a charitable organization. They give out tax receipts for donations. The Barn of Hope, though not completely finished, houses 20 animals and makes saving Moose and Jasmine possible. Big Ski Ranch is located on Pelton Road, off South Gower Drive in North Grenville. You can donate *With the purchase of a qualifying Sealy mattress.

Kemptville 73’s take back to back games Brian Wilson
The 73’s started the week with a trip to the Jim Durrell Sports Complex on Wednesday, Dec. 2 to take on the Ottawa Junior Senators who are presently in second place in the Yzerman division. Kemptville went on to defeat Ottawa by a score of 3 – 0 by scoring a goal per period. In the first period, Adam Alavi scored with the assists going to Dean Kiriacou and Victor Tracy. In the second, the Sens put 15 shots on the 73’s net, but Kemptville got the only goal. Matt Tugnutt and Kaelan O’Flynn set up the marker by Kiriacou. In the third, Bobby Dow capitalized on a pass from Jason Tackett to close out the scoring. The final shot total was Ottawa 30 Kemptville 21. Dean Kiriacou was selected as the first star while Nic Hodgins got the nod for second star. The 73’s returned home on Friday, December 4 for the back end of the home and home series with those same Senators. Ottawa had been shut out
both of their previous games and were looking to break that goose egg. Kemptville opened the scoring 8:16 into the first with Jake Gaudet’s ninth of the year. Owen Guy and Justin StGermain picked up the assists. There was no scoring in the second. With the 73’s leading 1 -0, it wasn’t until 12:21 of the third when they added to their lead. Matt Tugnutt and Kaelan O’Flynn set up the power play goal by Jason Tackett. The final goal of the game came six minutes later when Dean Kiriacou nailed his eleventh of the season. Brandon Cole and Gaudet picked up the helpers. The first star was Nic Hodgins and the second star was Jake Gaudet. The attendance for the game was 181 which indicates that more people are starting to enjoy junior hockey in their own backyard. The Team Canada East Selection Camp for the 2015 World Junior A Challenge gets underway in Etobicoke, ON on December 6th, and Kemptville’s Quinn Wichers has received an invite to compete for
a roster spot. Team Canada East will be comprised of players from the OJHL, CCHL, LHJQ, NOJHL and the MHL. The tournament runs from December 13 to December 19 in Whitby and Cobourg and features teams from Russia, USA, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Canada East and Canada West. Also, congratulations to Brandon Cole for getting an honourable mention as the CCHL “Player of the Week”. And to Nic Hodgins for getting an honourable mention as the CCHL “Goaltender of the Month” for November. On Sunday, Dec. 5, Kemptville was back on the road, this time travelling to Navan to battle the Yzerman division leading Cumberland Grads. There was no scoring in the first period even with 73’s goaltender, Peter Brooks, facing 19 shots. In the second, Kemptville had a two and a half minute lapse that allowed Cumberland to score three times. The 73’s took control in the third, trailing 3-0. Theier first goal was scored by Matt Tugnutt with the lone as-
Kemptville
sist going to Jason Tackett. The Grads got that one back soon after to make it 4 -1. Tugnutt scored his second of the game and his sixteenth of the year assisted by Owen Guy. Guy then made it 4-3 with the setup credited to Brandon Cole and Dean
Kiriacou. The Grads finished it off with an empty net goal with 15 seconds left for a 5-3 final. The 73’s outshot the Grads 45 -41. Matt Tugnutt was named the game’s second star. The 73’s will play a road game in Smiths Falls on Friday,
December 11 against the high flying Bears. Game time is 7:30. Kemptville then returns home for a 2:00 game on Sunday, Dec. 13 against the Cornwall Colts. Support your local team! Excitement on ice! See you at the rink!

Doors Open event offers ‘tremendous opportunity’ for whole community “Seventeen communities participated in that first year,” she explained. “By 2015, we had 44 communities across Ontario who opened their doors for one or two days, and this has been an occasion that has happened anytime from mid-April to Thanksgiving in October.” She said since Doors Open Ontario was launched, there have been six million visits. “This is a really big event,” said Clifford-Ward. She said Doors Open is an opportunity to discover a lot of things in North Grenville. “There’s hidden heritage and culture all around us,” said CliffordWard. “There are some areas that are part of the tour that are normally not ever open to the public and even if they are open to the public, there are some parts that are normally not accessible to the public.” She explained the tour could include commercial buildings, places of worship, gardens and natural heritage sites. “All of these could be considered as possibilities within the Doors Open event,” she said. She explained North Grenville has a lot of newcomers who would be interested to see the community’s heritage. “It’s something for the locals, some-
thing for visitors; for all ages and interests,” said Clifford-Ward. She explained stakeholders should participate in the event because it strengthens and builds local partnerships. “It generates curiosity, awareness and discovery of heritage,” she said. “It delivers valuable, memorable experiences.” She said the Doors Open event will also promote tourism and stimulate the economy in North Grenville. “In Smiths Falls, I had people coming from Burlington, Gatineau and upper state New York, to participate,”
said Clifford-Ward. “We’re talking about a net that goes out very far.” Another benefit to Doors Open is civic pride, she said. “It celebrates our community,” said Clifford-Ward. “What better reason to get out and do a bit of spit polishing and make sure everything looks wonderful.” She said Doors Open is a wonderful, free event for families. “A terrific way to share your story,” she said. “There are stories all around this table.” The theme of this year’s Doors Open Ontario is the history and impact

NGDHS makes it to OFSAA semi-finals Rideau District High School medaled for the fifth time in seven years Saturday at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations’ (OFSAA) Girls A Basketball Championship. The Lions defeated the North Grenville District High School Knights 47-29 to take bronze at the championship, held in Windsor. The game remained close in the early going, but Rideau soon pulled away on some solid shooting as the half went on, said Rideau Coach Ron Stenzl. The game got more difficult for North Grenville when star guard Darian Wrona left in the first half with a concussion, allowing Rideau to take a 20-15 lead at halftime. “In the second half, we really found our shooting form and made some key three-pointers in the 4th to pull away with a 47-29 victory,” said Stenzl. The Lions benefited from strong performances from guard Mykaela Mallette, who posted 15
points, Captain Taylor Bresee, who drained 14 points, and forward Leah Rice who had 13. Knights Coach Mike Hoy said his girls fought hard in the game, but the Lions’ strong defence made it tough to move the ball. Still, forward Emma Kiesekamp managed to post a team-high dozen points. While the Knights lost to Rideau, Hoy said he was pleased with his team’s showing. “Our goal was to place in the top eight,” said Hoy. “The girls were ecstatic when they made the quarter finals but to get to the semis was beyond anything we had hoped for.” While they competed hard on the court, both teams had cheered each other on in the games leading up to their bronze matchup. After the game, both teams posed together for a group photograph. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

A way forward – United Way Lanark County shares Mike’s story This is a story about an individual who decided to seek help in realizing his full potential. Since the spring of 2015, Mike has been with the Adult Learning & Training Centre (ALTC), which offers literacy and training opportunities. He heard positive feedback about their programs from a friend and decided to check it out for himself, as he wanted to upgrade his math skills and gain financial literacy skills. Since joining, he has been a very active at the center as a positive and goal-oriented learner, working very hard to reach his objectives of improving his reading, writing, and math skills, to increase his chances of obtaining employment. Through his efforts, Mike is now able to read the classifieds section and pull out important information, read and com-
pose email messages, complete simple forms and make calendar entries, and create and organize tables to compare information. After a few months of making great strides and reaching milestones, his efforts paid off – Mike secured a part time position in his own community, which has helped him gain more independence. He is eager to continue working with ALTC and is now taking their e-learning modules, where he is excelling in language and word usage. Mike is now able to look at flyers and price lists to make comparisons and calculations, and to check receipts to verify costs, helping him become more financially stable. The staff and volunteers have enjoyed Mike’s enthusiasm in gaining the skills he needs to succeed in life, and he has made
great progress in his training plan, gaining social skills along the way – all with the help of the staff and volunteers at ALTC. Mike has people who believe in him and his capabilities. He has learned that he is able to set goals and achieve them through small manageable steps, and takes pride in celebrating these milestones. Mike gained confidence by obtaining a job and now has long-term goals of getting into the construction trade, owning his home and having a family. Through hard work and the help of ALTC, Mike can look forward to a brighter future. Would you like to help individuals like Mike realize their true potential?

Automotive lights can present winter driving challenges Along with snow and ice-covered roads, our winter driving environment brings a surge in complaints about automotive lights. With the shorter days and more miles driven during darkness, the biggest segment of consumer gripes on lights fits into the ‘we wish things were brighter’ category. However there is some light at the end of the tunnel and a few things we can do inexpensively or for no money at all to keep this season bright. Brighter bulbs: The overwhelming majority of passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs on the roads today use headlamps with replaceable halogen bulbs. Most of these bulbs are available from a wide array of manufacturers at reasonable prices. Some years ago, I did a review of the most popular bulbs and tested their relative brightness with an electronic photographer’s light meter. I had a chance to complete a similar experiment recently with a new product from the popular maker, Sylvania.
They sent me a pair of their SilverStar Ultras to try out and the results were impressive. This bulb produced over 10 per cent more light than the original equipment bulbs (which I never had a problem with before). They are available at most auto-parts stores and retail around $30 each depending on application. Bulbs are categorized by shape, size, and plug-in connectors and usually carry a short-form designation such as 9003 or H11. Your owner’s manual should contain the correct reference number for your vehicle but if you have trouble finding it, you can always remove the bulb (being careful not to touch the glass portion) and take it into your favourite retailer to match it. Clean lenses: We’re quickly approaching that time of year when our roads start to resemble the famed Bonneville Salt Flats due to the amount of ice and snow melter our roads’ crews use. Keep a used soft terri-cloth in your vehicle and
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
give the head and tail lamps a quick wipe down before heading out on the road. If your older vehicle is suffering from the auto version of clouding of the cornea (yellowed lenses), there are several DIY kits available to bring back the shine (Mothers and Meguiars are the most popular makers and you can find them in the auto wax section). If you plan on keeping your ride for a few more years, after completing a lens polishing, invest in the clear self-adhesive lens covers that are also available. Once you polish a headlamp lens it can cloud up even faster due to the loss of its hardening. These stick-on
covers will duplicate that surface to keep things clear for miles to come. A relatively new light application may cause problems for Canadian drivers. Many carmakers are using LED (light-emitting diode) lamps for their vehicles’ exterior lights and these do not create enough heat to melt off even the lightest dusting of snow or sheet of ice. If you’re driving down a snowy road, these lights can quickly become covered in enough of the white stuff to drastically reduce their intensity. Use that soft terrycloth to keep you and your passengers safe. Tail lamps are usually the first to ‘snow-up’ but head and signal lamps shouldn’t be ignored. Reduce the distractions: You can do a lot to improve your night driving vision by reducing the amount of interior lighting. Large touch-screen displays can be particularly annoying but all have a display off-switch which will keep everything functioning but the distracting glare of the screen. Keep cell phones face down

Safety Tips Oil Lamps: Oil lamps or lanterns provide excellent light but can be a fire hazard if placed too close to combustibles. Keep oil lamps away from combustibles and out of the wind. Make sure they are kept in a secure place where they cannot be knocked over. Refill the lamps outdoors or away from combustibles and other people.

Thai carrot and chicken balls a great appetizer for holiday parties These mini-meatballs are the perfect hors d’oeuvre to prepare ahead of time and reheat for a party. The carrots add crunchy texture as well as nutrients. To reduce prep time, have your family help shape them. For variety, roll some in crushed peanuts. Preparation time: 1 hour Baking time: 15 minutes Makes: about 48 appetizers Ingredients • 3 cups (750 mL) coarsely grated carrots (about 1 lb/500 g) • 2 cloves garlic, crushed • 1 Ontario egg, beaten • 1/3 cup (75 mL) minced cilantro • 2 tbsp (25 mL) lime juice • 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely grated gingerroot • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground coriander • 1 tsp (5 mL) Asian chili hot sauce • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • 1/2 cup (125 mL) fine dry bread crumbs • 8 oz (250 g) ground chicken or turkey
Stir in bread crumbs and ground chicken until well mixed. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.

Jim, 91, of Perth, Ontario, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 4, 2015 at the Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre in Ottawa. Born in Ottawa, Ontario to Albert and Maude Sunderland on May 25, 1924 he lived most of his life in Ottawa and at Black Lake, Ontario. Big Jim grew up on James Street in Ottawa, enlisting with the Canadian Navy in 1943 serving on a mine sweeper in the Atlantic until the end of World War Two. Jim and Ruth (nee Spratt, pre-deceased) married on September 8, 1945 and soon began raising a family of five. They were proud of their children’s successes and the families that grew from their love for each other. Bruce and Jean of Calgary, Greig and Minnie of Perth, Steve and Jan of Ottawa, Stu and Lynn of Richmond, and Sue and Ivan of Black Lake will all miss Dad dearly. Big Jim had a special place in his heart for his grandchildren: Christine (Alan), Paul (Dana), Matthew, Julie (predeceased), Nick (Sarah), Adam (Chantal), Lauren, Nicole and Danielle. He was also blessed with many great- grandchildren including Zak, Ty, Bella, Nico, Ellie, and Lucy. Jim and Ruth made friends easily and they all have great tales to tell of their times, dinners and adventures together. Big Jim earned his living first in the dairy business and then operated his own Sunoco service station up until 1971, when he and Ruth turned their Black Lake cottage into their new homestead. It was there that he developed a passion for woodworking, creating endless furniture pieces, always marked by the infamous diamond logo. Jim gave generously to the Salvation Army, the Perth Hospital and the Canadian Cancer Society, so we are sure he would encourage your support of these fine charitable organizations. A celebration will be held in the future to mark Jim’s life and to remember his achievements. The family sincerely thanks the Perth Hospital and the Perley and Rideau Health Centre for the care and comfort they gave to Jim at this difficult time.

A celebration of Hazel’s life will take place at a later date; time and place to be announced. For those wishing to do so, donations to the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation or the University of Ottawa Heart Institute would be appreciated. IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM
WARREN – In loving memory of Allan Warren who passed away so suddenly on December 13, 2006. He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries, Went unspoken too. He was there - a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold on to, In times of stress and strife. Sadly missed Marilyn and family.

IN MEMORIAM
LACKEY – In loving memory of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, Theresa Lackey, who passed away, December 8, 1992, and William Lackey, who passed away January 24, 2001. There’s a family who misses you dearly In a home where you used to be There’s a family who wanted to keep you But God willed it not to be. You left many happy memories And a sorrow too great to be told But to us who loved and lost you Your memory will never grow old. Lovingly remembered by Gary, Bonnie, Erin, Jacob and Abby Jennifer and Ryan, Emily and Liam
IN MEMORIAM
BRIAN KEELEY Oct 7, 1944Dec 9, 2012 As time moves forward and the ache does fade, I treasure the life that together we made. Your name often comes up with family and friends, Know that your memory will never end Loved and missed always, Marj
IN MEMORIAM
ACRES – In loving memory of a special son, brother, brother-in-law and uncle, Brian, who passed away December 14, 2009. We are sending a dove to Heaven With a parcel on it’s wings Be careful when you open it It’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses Wrapped in a million hugs. To say how much we miss you And send you all our love. We hold you close Within our hearts And there you will remain. To walk with us Throughout our lives, Until we meet again. Always remembered Forever loved Mom and Dad (Harry and Eileen), Darlene (Norman), Diane (Stanley), Carl (Christine), Nieces and Nephew
TIMMINS, LLOYD JOHN
Daddy Kevin Lowe (Aug. 25, 1984 – Dec. 14, 2012) If we could write a story It would be the greatest ever told Of a kind and loving daddy Who had a heart of gold We could write a million pages But still be unable to say, Just how much we miss him every single day. We will remember all he taught us We still hurt but won’t be sad Because he will send us down the answers And he will always be our Dad. Love always Carter and Calli xoxo
In Loving Memory of a Dear Father, Poppa and G-Poppa who passed away Dec. 7, 2013.
Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered every day. No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts he’s always there. We always knew the full extent, Of what our fathers’ love had meant. We realize how blessed we’d been To have had a Father just like him. Lovingly remembered Darlene & Richard, Beth & Jim and families

BEUTE, Harry - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away December 16, 2010. You are gone but not forgotten As it draws another year. In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near. They say time heals every sorrow, But we know it isn’t true. Because it hurts as much today As it did 5 years ago. Love from Sally and Family
DUFFY - In memory of a very special wife, Hazel Duffy, who passed away November 29, 1997. If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. It is lonely here without you, I miss you more each day, For life is not the same for me, Since you were called away. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you Home. I seem to see in the soft dim light, A face I loved the best, And think of her when the suns last rays, Goes down in the far off west. Lovingly remembered Murray
STEELE, Karen - In memory of our daughterin-law Karen who left us all too soon December 9, 2014. Death leaves a heartache, No one can heal. Love leaves a memory, No one can steal. Miss you, Helen & Don
STEELE - In loving memory of my daughter, Karen Anne (Myers) Steele, who passed away December 9, 2014. When evening shades are falling, And we sit in quiet alone, To our hearts there comes a longing, If she only could come home. Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile. But they little know the heartache, Our smiles hide all the while. Lovingly remembered Mom
Elliott, William December 11, 2011 For someone who meant so much And loved by all he knew, Who left behind a trail of tears, And precious memories too. We loved the sunshine in his smile, And kindness in his heart, But God saw that that he was tired, Which meant that we had to part. And now that it’s his special day, Dear angel’s hear our prayer, Please guard him with great care. For he was someone wonderful, And words just can’t convey, How much we wish that he was here, Once more, with us today. Love Penny, Matt & family
