PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com The province released a technical briefing on Sept. 27 called Moving Forward with Cannabis Retailing, which provides additional information on the framework that will be in place regarding the private retail of cannabis, regulation and licensing, municipal funding, and permitted places of cannabis use. Chief administrative officer (chief administrative officer) Brian Carré spoke to how the new information will impact the municipality of North Grenville at the Oct. 1 committee of the whole meeting. Members of staff and council agreed that as proposed legalization approaches on Oct. 17, the report only stirs more concerns and answers few questions. The new model will see private retailers licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), and the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation (OCRC) will be the exclusive wholesaler and online retailer for the province.

On Oct. 17, consumers aged 19 and older will be able to purchase cannabis via OCRC's online retail platform. Sales will be implemented in a socially responsible manner, including secure home delivery with age verification at the customer's door, and no packages left unattended at the door. A total of $40 million will be distributed to municipalities in Ontario over the course of two years to help with costs associated with the legalization of recreational cannabis, with each municipality receiving at least $10,000 in total, and at least $5,000 in the first year. The amount that each municipality receives will be calculated on a perhousehold-basis. Carré explained that the costs could be related to enforcing zoning bylaws and smoking restrictions, investigating public nuisance calls, and looking into safety concerns related to the building code act. "Home cultivation will be something that we will need to do, and of course, municipal staff will need to See MUNICIPALITIES, page 14

NEWS

Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark is welcoming news that Bayfield Manor will receive 94 new beds for residents of North Grenville and area as part of Ontario's Government for the People's first steps in improving long-term care and reducing hospital wait times. They were among 6,000 new long-term care beds added across the province in an announcement today, which will allow people to get the long-term care they need in an appropriate setting and free up space in hospitals. "North Grenville is one of the fastest-growing communities in Eastern Ontario and I'm proud we're acting so urgently on our commitment to help families ensure their loved ones can access the longterm care they need more quickly," said Clark. "Adding 94 new beds at Bayfield

Manor will not only shorten wait times for longterm care, it's a critical step in easing pressure on Kemptville District Hospital." "The announcement of 94 new long-term care beds for Bayfield Manor is very welcome and I would like to take this opportunity to thank MPP Clark for his continued support for the new beds," stated Keith McIntosh, chief executive officer of Southbridge Care Homes. "These beds will contribute towards helping address the long wait list for long-term care and will enable us to provide much needed care to our older adults. We thank the Government of Ontario for their continued assistance in helping fulfill our commitment of providing care to the Kemptville community." "Your government is moving forward quickly to expand access to long-

term care beds," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. "More long-term care beds will help take pressure off hospitals, end hallway medicine, allow doctors and nurses to work more efficiently, and provide faster health care for Ontario patients and their families." Ontario has committed to adding 15,000 long-term care beds in five years and 30,000 in 10 years to help cut hospital wait times and end hallway medicine. "Hallway health care is a multi-faceted problem that will require real and innovative solutions," said Elliott. "Our government will continue to listen to the people who work on the front lines of our health care system as we develop a long-term, transformational strategy to end hallway health care."

CANDIDATES TALK HERITAGE AT HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S HARVEST DINNER FUNDRAISING EVENT EXPLORED BUILT AND NATURAL LOCAL HERITAGE PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com On Sept. 29, the North Grenville Historical Society hosted a Harvest Dinner called Bringing in the Sheaves, a fundraiser for the society so that it can continue and expand its work to preserve and communicate our local history. The event was held at the North Grenville Curling Club, and all municipal candidates were invited to speak about local heritage. The first candidate to speak was current Deputy Mayor, Barb Tobin, who told the room about a personal connection to history. Tobin explained that as a student, she would always get 100 per cent in history class, thanks to her memorization skills; but it

was the living experience of history that has really connected her to the subject. Tobin's father was a newspaper photographer in Cornwall during the construction of the seaway bridge. "Our house was full of negatives and recollections of the seaway being built," she recalled. "I learned to respect history, I learned to see what it was about, and I learned to see little pieces of it through adventures with my father taking photos." Her father's photos are now featured in the Cornwall community museum and the watchtower, as he captured so much of the local history. "I think that's an important part of what we need to continue to do in North Grenville - preserving. We're creating our family tree here, and it's a really important thing to have." Tobin added that it was an honour to work with Don Munz to install the

Pictured: Guests enjoy the locally sourced seasonal meal, donated by local businesses and individuals. murals in downtown Kemptville. "They record our history, and it was a wonderful experience of teaching history to my art students through looking at those beautiful ships you see," she said. In closing, Tobin said it's important to keep the door open to conversations with groups like the North Grenville Historical Society and the heritage advi-

sory committee so we have experts at the table. "It's like those game shows on television; if you're not calling a friend and asking the expert, you're not going to win the game," she said. "You need those people to be players in how you develop your community." Incumbent Mayor David Gordon was the next to speak.

"In the old days, gentlemen had some class. They'd walk around with a suit and tie, and a top hat," Gordon said, placing an old-fashioned top hat on his head. He said that one of the best stories about North Grenville's history involves a murder. "There was a chief constable, and when there was a murder in Kemptville, he caught the bad guy and he let him go, because he said the guy who got shot deserved to die," said Gordon. "That's Kemptville, and we should be proud of it - that's our history." According to Gordon, we have to look at our history and our heritage; not just for ourselves to learn about our past, but also for our children. Gordon lives in the centre of town, where he said there is a lot of heritage. "I definitely appreciate it, because that's the character of the community, and we have to hold onto it." New council candidate,

Jim McManaman, said he and his wife have a great interest in the restoration of old buildings to their former glory. They were leaders in the fundraising and restoration planning of Holy Cross Church and the Come Let's Build campaign, helping to raise more than $2 million to completely renovate the church and its rectory. "I understand the importance of the role of this historical society in telling North Grenville's story and protecting its heritage," he said. McManaman shared a few facts about his family's history, including that his wife's brother represents the 7th generation on the family's bicentennial farm, dating back to 1784. "How many people can say that their family home is 234 years old?" he asked. Another new council candidate, Craig McCormick, said he grew up in a See - page 5

COMMUNITY thrill, and an adventure to be in an old building with that character," she said. Strackerjan said it's important to look at where we are right now and know that we are our children's history. "I think it's very important to preserve it - not just in the bits and bobs, notes and letters and the buildings, because those are also important, but the environment is probably the biggest gift we could give to our kids' history." "Part of my family came here in the 17th century; in the 1650s," said mayoral candidate and current Coun. Jim Bertram. "That makes me an ancient Canadian, and in more than one way." Bertram spoke about MPP Steve Clark's endorsement of him in the legislature at Queen's Park last year, after Bertram had pulled off the second North Grenville Rural Summit. "The reason I'd like to mention this is because it's an example of when I say I'm going to do something," he said. "I follow through, and the summit is just one example of that reality." Bertram also spoke about a fundraising program called the Grow North Grenville Fund, which he is currently working to establish. "My goal is to raise significant

funds which will be used to pay community grants and thereby remove them from the local property tax system." Bertram said he would also like to look at the possibility of developing a heritage Community Improvement Plan, which would access funds through the North Grenville Fund. "I think it's time that we consider resource acquisition to further the goal of heritage protection and enhancement," he said. Deron Johnston, who ran for council last term and is running again, said he is a current member of the historical society because he's been in the community for only six years and wanted to know more about it. "You learn a lot about the people of the present when you learn about what was happening with the people of the past," he said, "so that was very important for me to be a part of that." Johnston said he would be in favour of zero rent costs for the society, and that he would work with them to find a new home for the archives as well. "We have our built heritage, we have our heritage around our people, but sometimes we forget about our natural heritage," he said. Johnston mentioned Fred Schueler and Aleta

Karstad of Bishops Mills, who have studied natural heritage assets in North Grenville for 43 years. "They have been compiling scientific data in North Grenville since 1975; over 40 years. We've got 43 years of natural heritage, and I believe the historical society has already taken some of that and are compiling it and sorting it, so we are able to preserve part of our natural heritage as well." Mayoral candidate, Nancy Peckford, spoke about her two grandmothers who were born preConfederation in Newfoundland and Labrador. "I had one very rural grandmother and one very urban grandmother, and they had wildly different perspectives," she said. "It really showed me, that even within one province, that there can be that heterogeneity and diversity." Peckford moved to Ontario in 1999 and worked on Parliament Hill as a Canadian parliamentary intern, serving both sides of the house. She's currently the executive director of a national federated not-forprofit organization. "I think the proudest accomplishment I'd like to share with you really embodies what I'm offering this community and also my appreciation for history and

heritage. We were able to bring 338 young women into the House of Commons on the occasion of Canada's 150th and they sat in their MPs seats and they embodied both the history and the future of leadership in Canada and civic engagement," said Peckford. The final council candidate to speak at the Harvest Dinner was John Barclay. "I'm an army brat," he said. "I was born in Pembroke, close to camp Petawawa, and came to Oxford Mills in 2009." Barclay spoke about heritage tourism, and nodded to communities like Spencerville that are working with their built heritage to attract tourists. "We have equivalent great architecture, and we could do a lot to leverage those assets," he said. Barclay also acknowledged Schueler and Karstad's work, stating that in any other country, "these people would be national treasures." Barclay believes the findings need a home, like a natural history museum. "Natural history is an important part of our history," he said. "So is preserving our built heritage, and there's a lot we can do to create an experience for our visitors in terms of heritage tourism, to allow them to learn our stories and experience them."

small town where heritage and history was the fabric of the community. "Kemptville has a lot of history, I'm junior when it comes to the details, but I'm eager to be involved. If I'm elected, you can bet that history and heritage will be supported by myself. I think it's important." McCormick also spoke, from a youth advocate perspective, to the need of having more young people involved with organizations such as the historical society. Current Coun. Frank Onasanya expressed his love of local history and heritage assets in North Grenville. He paid kudos to the historical society and the advisory committee for preserving both the physical aspects and the stories of the community's historical homes and the former Kemptville College campus. "At the end of the day, the key thing is for us to have this history and these buildings intact so that our children's children can have the opportunity to say, 'this is where my parents are from,'" he said. Onasanya recognized the 100-year-old history of the Kemptville Campus, which he said the municipality fought very hard to keep in the community. Council candidate Doreen O'Sullivan spoke next, and also brought a special hat to wear for the occasion. She told the society about the family artifact, which originally belonged to her grandmother. "It's the stories that are the substance of our history," she said. O'Sullivan's family held a reunion in Oxford Mills last year, where she learned a lot about her family. Her grandfather originally came to Kemptville to take up a job as a horse barn manager at Kemptville College. "Now, three of his great, great grandchildren are attending school on that very same property," said O'Sullivan. "They're making memories and creating stories about their time on the campus. It's a wonderful, multi-generational experience." O'Sullivan spoke about her grandmother's hat, stating that she had proba-

bly worn it to church at St. James Anglican, and perhaps to social events at Leslie Hall. "She's gone, but her hat continues to be part of our stories." In closing, O'Sullivan also spoke about her family history in the military, as her grandfather was a Second World War veteran. She said his medals are displayed at the Kemptville Legion. "A cenotaph is an important part of any town in Canada, and I believe consideration to a new location should be given to the college property, near the corner of Prescott and Concession," she said. "It is a beautiful and solemn space. A place of honour, to remember the stories of loved ones lost in war." Kristin Strackerjan, councillor hopeful, said she appreciates what it means to have rich history that is well preserved. She recognized the importance of maintaining the look and feel of old buildings and homes in North Grenville as a way to draw people in and communicate our history to local residents. Strackerjan's three children currently attend school on the Kemptville Campus property. "I know my kids love being in the Admin building; it's a

PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com It's a rare opportunity to catch an internationally famous jazz musician performing in Merrick-

ville; not to mention, the most-awarded Canadian musician of the year. The Baldachin Inn is just one of many venues that will showcase jazz artists this coming week-

Submitted/Ori Dagan Jazz artist Ori Dagan from Toronto is Canada's most-awarded musician of the year, and will be playing Merrickville's Jazz Fest on Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Baldachin Inn. Dagan will perform his recent album, Nathaniel: A Tribute to Nat King Cole which debuted #1 on iTunes Canada's jazz chart and has been recognized worldwide for its accompanying visual album; the first-ever for the jazz genre.

ried his name across the globe. The show starts at 6 p.m. and reservations are required. It'll be Dagan's first visit to Merrickville, and he is set to perform his recent release, Nathaniel: A Tribute to Nat King Cole, which will be accompanied by the screening of its award-winning visual album, the first album of its kind for the jazz genre. The visual album has garnered over 50 nominations and awards around the world this year. Dagan's love of jazz was sparked by artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. One thing that these artists have in common is that they're all risk-taking improvisers. "That is what's always really appealed to me about jazz music," he said. "Improvising and challenging oneself; the whole element of surprise. I love that." Fitzgerald's Mack the Knife: Ella in Berlin album completely changed Dagan's life, and there are two songs in particular that he owes it to. "'Mack the Knife', where she forgets the lyrics and improvises her own lyrics on the spot, and then 'How High the Moon', which is a nearly seven-

minute-long scat singing solo. It's probably one of the best recorded scat solos of all time," he said. It wasn't until recently that Dagan discovered his

love for Nat King Cole. While listening to his earlier releases, Dagan found himself inspired, and See DAGAN, page 9

CHILDREN CRUCIAL PART OF MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSION While strides have been made to raise awareness of mental health, there's still unfamiliarity surrounding the subject, especially when it relates to children. This year, the Canada Safety Council is marking 100 years and has chosen to use National School Safety Week (Oct. 17-23) as a way to ensure children (and the entire population) have access to mental health services. They're dispelling four myths in their efforts to raise awareness, including that mental health illnesses aren't real. Mental health covers your psychological and emotional well-being, so it affects a person just as much as contracting a cold or breaking your leg. All illnesses vary and can be controlled through medication, but in the case of mental health, often they go undiagnosed or mismanaged, which could cause harm to a person or others. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, undiagnosed illnesses can affect a child's performance at school or make themselves cause danger to themselves. It's the lack of awareness and education on the impact mental health of children can have that's troubling. Another myth is that children will simply grow out of a mental illness, but it can remain with a person for their entire life. A study by the federal government revealed 70 per cent of adults who suffer from some form of mental illness showed signs of it as a child or teen. The key here is early diagnosis and getting children on a healthy path. If treatment is done earlier, there's less chance of future harm. It's also untrue that bad parenting can cause a mental health related illness. It shouldn't be seen as a failure and due to the variety of illnesses, it's sometimes easy for parents to miss signs. The safety council notes that often a child's biochemistry and environment are responsible for the development of mental health illnesses, including stressful situations and exposure to harmful substances while an infant. It's important to seek help if parents feel their child might be suffering. Consulting your family doctor, a mental health association or school counsellor are good first steps. When it comes to treatment, it will not make your child's symptoms worse, says the Canada Safety Council. Many parents don't want their children to be on unnecessary medication, or they see therapy as a waste of time, but each treatment method is tailored to the specific child. Not all will need to take medication, but parents should put some trust in the advice of mental health experts. The topic of mental health in children can be a delicate one, but the most important thing for parents to remember is to start having healthy conversations with your children, provide a safe space for them and when in doubt, seek the help of other resources.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY PROVINCE AIMS TO PUT FARMERS FIRST DEAR EDITOR: As we celebrated the 20th annual Ontario Agriculture Week, Oct. 1-7, I want to salute our farmers for all they do to feed our province, build our rural communities and grow the economy. I know the hard work and long hours our farmers put in and the challenges of dealing with risks beyond your control such as weather and trade issues. Our government for the people understands the adversity our farmers face. We saw those challenges this week with concessions in the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), that will impact our supply managed sector. I want to assure you that we are pushing the federal government to provide compensation for our impacted farmers. We will always stand up for Ontario farmers. There are huge opportunities in the agriculture and food sector; however,

we have heard far too often about the difficulties farmers face with red tape and excessive regulation. The entire sector is saddled with too much of it. We are getting rid of it so farmers can concentrate more on what they do best: working the land and feeding families across the province. Over the next few months you will see more of the steps we are taking to reduce red tape and simplify these regulations. To better serve Ontario farmers, we want to hear from you about your experiences with red tape so we can find solutions. We also want to work with you to strengthen our rural communities, to reduce high energy costs on the family farm, and to continue to put more money in the pockets of farmers. We're tackling crippling high electricity rates and have introduced legislation that, if passed, would scrap the previous government's expensive Green Energy Program. Premier Ford recently announced a plan to expand natural gas access to

more than 70 new rural communities. We understand the importance of increasing access to natural gas, and infrastructure in our communities across the province. I also want to commend Premier Ford for travelling to Washington, where he stood up for Ontario jobs and brought forward the trade concerns of our farmers. Our government has vowed Ontario is open for business, and we mean it. Farmers are the stewards of the land and we recognize the vital importance of your hard work to the economic well-being of Ontario. Over the next four years we will leave no stone unturned to provide real relief to rural Ontario.

wrote five original songs with a friend, which made way for the tribute album. The release comes just in time for what would have been Cole's 100th birthday, which is next year. Dagan's favourite Cole songs to sing are 'Mona Lisa,' 'Straighten Up and Fly Right', and 'Nature Boy'. Dagan and his band try to reimagine the music, bringing attention to Cole's work, but also offering something refreshing for the people who already know and love it. When the music was recorded for the tribute album and the CD was ready for release, Dagan said something was holding him back. "I wanted to hold onto it and see what I could do. Then I realized I wanted to do something in the spirit of Nat King Cole being an innovator." This is when the visual album idea was conceived. When Cole started out, he played in a trio with piano, guitar, and bass, which had never been done before. "It was revolutionary," said Dagan. "Then when he added vocals, it was this brandnew sound in jazz." Dagan said that not a lot of people know that Cole was a struggling artist for many years. "That inspired one of our tunes called 'Sting of the Cactus', which is about the discipline required to be a successful musician." When he noticed other musicians creating visual albums, Dagan realized it had never been done in jazz before. "I was looking to do something different, so we made it happen." The visual album was directed by seven different directors all around the world, and financed entirely through Pledge Music, a crowd-funding site, through 200 unique contributors. Dagan and his team produced twelve music videos over six months, and released them all in one day. "It was a fascinating ex-

perience, to see a song blossom into a little film," Dagan said. "I've been so blessed to have these videos seen all over the world." 'Sting of the Cactus' has over 30,000 hits on You-

OPINION

DIANA FISHER Column

I am thinking the Farmer and I are going to leave a few things behind for our loved ones when we leave. It won't all be intentional. I cut my weekly columns out of the newspaper and file them in binders in my office. I now have 11 years of columns. That's 572 stories of our life here together on this farm. It's like a "Dear Diary" of my life. Most days before I head out on my morning commute I write a note to my husband and leave it on the kitchen island next to the 50-year-old stainless steel percolator that he insists on using for his coffee. I think the drip machine makes a tastier brew and more than once I have accused him of using the perk just for nostalgia's sake. He does things like that. He has his favourite coffee cup too. I bought it at the Salvation Army. He says it perfectly fits his nose. I didn't realize his nose was a concern. If I have fresh lipstick on, I seal the note with a kiss. Those ones are his favourites, but he keeps all of them.

If he is going out to show a house in the evening, my realtor husband leaves me a note. It's usually very short, and funny. But don't tell him I said that. I'm trying not to encourage his particular wry sense of humour. The Farmer saves our messages to each other in shoeboxes so that our loved ones' loved ones can get to know us a little bit better after we are gone. I think he is up to shoebox number four by now. They are in a rusty old metal filing cabinet in the basement. I started writing important little things that I wanted to remember in a hardcovered journal the year we were wed. I still haven't filled the book, because with my weekly column acting as a journal, I don't have much else to say. The book is saved for the things that are either too banal, too trivial or too personal to print. That little book will be of interest to someone someday, I'm sure. It is already of interest to me, as I flip back through the past decade of

scribbled notes about 30 degree days in November, sheep that had quadruplets, movies that made me cry and jobs that I applied for. It's funny but I don't even remember writing half of this stuff and it's only been a few years since I did. I also seem to be one of the few people I know who still prints photographs for albums. I actually have too many photos for albums so the Farmer gave me an old cabinet in which to store them. The cabinet stands about four feet tall and it's two skinny drawers across, seven down. It will take me at least another twenty years to fill it with photos, ticket stubs, postcards and notes. I already have a tallboy of four drawers filled with photos and cards from our first decade together. These are standing right beside the front door of the house. I was thinking of pushing them out onto the front lawn when the porch caught fire last year. Luckily I didn't have to.

Please keep our community clean!

with bills or they fill a rubber boot in the attic. Then they forget that they did it. Years later, they pass away and the contents of their home are distributed or sold. Sometimes the new owners discover the bounty. Sometimes they don't. To whomever inherits the contents of the humble home that I have shared with the Farmer I would like to say, check every envelope. Do not throw out shoeboxes full of paper without having a read. Look under the chair cushions, and check behind the dresser drawers. I left something for you.

WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND?

There is something else the Farmer and I will be leaving behind, and it isn't necessarily on purpose. My husband and I occasionally put money, spare car keys, gift cards and other valuables "in a safe place" for future use. Then we promptly forget where we put these things. I am also in the habit of stuffing tendollar bills in out-of-season coat pockets, so as to surprise myself when the weather changes. I do the same with purses that are out of rotation. Someone is going to feel like they won the lottery someday, when they go through our things. I saw a documentary once about seniors who decide they don't trust banks anymore. Some of them tape their money to the bottom of desk drawers. They stuff the piano or the mattress

MUSHROOM HUNT EXPLORES GOURMET GOODIES, FATAL FUNGI PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Another unique event hosted by the Friends of the Ferguson Forest Centre took attendees on a guided tour through local trails on Oct. 6 in search of wild mushrooms. Certified naturalist Cheryl Rusch taught participants about the environment that different varieties of native mushrooms need in order to grow, the types of trees they thrive around, and how to tell if they're edible or dangerous. The group began by analyzing a common Puffball mushroom. "If they're white, you're safe," said Rusch, breaking open the bowling ball-sized fungus. "If there's any type of colouration, like yellow or black, it's inedible." The puffball was white

throughout, and she passed it around for everyone to smell it. "They come in different colours and varieties, and some are toxic," Rusch advised. On their hunt, the group found many puffballs of all sizes; some safe, and just as many inedible. Rusch is from North Augusta, and took the Master Naturalist Program at Lakehead University. She obtained her Wildlife, Forestry and Ecology certification and is also enrolled in an online course learning about edible and medicinal foraging. "I've been picking mushrooms since I was a baby," she said. "My passion is nature, wild plants, and edible plants." The next discovery on the hunt was the Blewitt mushroom, found both in coniferous and deciduous woodlands. Rusch de-

scribed it as a gourmet choice mushroom. "Turn it over, and you might see that it has a blueish tint to it, otherwise slate grey," she said. "They grow up to snowfall and even afterwards." Mushroom hunters on the walk were invited to pick their own and bring them home for cooking. Rusch identified the most common mushrooms in the area as meadow mushrooms and shaggy manes, which don't keep for very long before they turn black and inky, so they should be eaten right away. The group also found Russula mushrooms, which come in many varieties; some edible, some not. Russula are very common, and grow in large colonies. However, Rusch said the edible ones don't have a See TWO, page 18

Thanks to you, we’re creating more smiles than ever before. The Smile Cookie program had its most successful year ever, raising $7.8 million, and the full amount will go to over 500 local charities. Together, we’re making a lasting difference in communities across Canada.

Following this, a public notice process will be initiated, in which the municipality and the public will have the opportunity to identify any comments within a 15day period. Any public comments will be recorded and considered through AGCO's process in deciding whether or not to grant authorization for the proposed location. In terms of licensing parameters, there will be no cap to the total number of licenses or authorizations to be issued in a municipality. The sale or transfer of licenses will be prohibited, and licensed producers will be permitted to operate a single store at a single production facility in Ontario per company. "If we use North Grenville, for example, Fleurish Cannabis Inc. would be allowed one retail store onsite, if they so choose, in our municipality," said Carré. "If they have other manufacturing operations throughout the province, only one retail store would be allowed for those operations." He was referring to the female-focused cannabis production company located in Kemptville, which recently acquired its production license, signed a letter of intent (LOI) with a prospective distributor, and is currently in the process of

acquiring its sales license. Authorized cannabis retailers will be required to display the cannabis retailer seal, and new offences will be created for those falsely represented as an authorized retailer. The report also states that a distance buffer between private cannabis retailers and schools will be set through regulation prior to December 2018. When it comes to zoning, cannabis retail will fall under the same land use of any other type of retail. "That's a critical point," said Carré. "Our Official Plan (OP) has designations of where certain land uses can occur, and our zoning bylaw specifies on areas in municipalities where retail operations can take place without an amendment to the zoning bylaw, or potentially an amendment to the OP." The recreational and medicinal smoking of cannabis will be prohibited in the same places where the smoking of tobacco is prohibited, including enclosed public places and enclosed workplaces. The vaping of cannabis will be treated with existing provisions in the SmokeFree Ontario Act that will regulate the use of an electronic cigarette. All methods of consuming cannabis will be prohibited in vehicles and boats, subject to

certain exceptions that would be prescribed by regulation. For example, the use of medicinal cannabis edibles by a passenger who is a medicinal cannabis user. Generally speaking, municipalities could pass bylaws further restricting the use of cannabis. Carre stated that municipal staff are currently working on recommendations for council's consideration based on permitted places of use, whether it be for medicinal or recreational purposes. "We are looking at existing policies with respect to smoking and the consumption of alcohol, whether it be in public places or as an employer, and we'll be bringing forward recommendations for change," he said. Municipal staff will be seeking council's direction on whether or not North Grenville will opt-out of retail stores. Carré has found, along with staff in their research, that very few municipalities have enforced bylaws related to dealing with cannabis at the workplace and in public spaces. "We need the information and the final bill to be approved, and municipalities will have to take that info and as quickly as possible, make modifications to our existing bylaws, and bring them to council's attention as quickly as we can."

Headlight deterioration As your vehicle gets older, your headlights begin to darken, which significantly weakens their effectiveness over time. It starts to happen on most vehicles after roughly five years but could occur even earlier, as the issue is with the lens material and not the car itself.

Among the materials commonly used to manufacture headlights, glass stays clear the longest but has become increasingly rare over the last 15 years. Today’s automakers almost exclusively install lenses crafted from polycarbonate, which are easier to adapt to the silhouette of contemporary cars. The trade-off is that polycarbonate is far more vulnerable to abrasive debris such as sand, calcium and salt as well as the sun and rain. Opacity can begin to diminish the effectiveness of your headlights after only three or four years, particularly if you frequently travel long distances with your vehicle. Motorists who routinely use the highway during the winter also run the risk of faster wear and tear on their headlights.

your lenses professionally polished. The steps involved are as follows: • A thorough cleaning. • A pressure wash, to cut through blemishes on the lens. • The actual polishing. This will restore the transparency of the lens and leave it looking good as new. A variety of businesses offer this service, including automotive glass retailers, independent mechanics, rustproofing companies and sometimes car washes. Prices typically range from $70 to $90. Refurbishing your headlights is an effective way to prolong their lifespan. That being said, it isn’t a permanent solution. Eventually, road debris and UV rays will start degrading your lenses again. One last trick to prevent this is to apply UV-proof wax a few times a year to counteract the harsh effects of the sun.

Low-cost solutions The best option would be to replace your dull headlights, but even if you choose a recycled pair, this won’t be the most cost-effective solution.

What is an octane rating? The measure of a fuel’s ability to withstand engine knocking is called an octane rating. Knocking is the result of uncontrolled combustion between the mixture of air and fuel and is most often apparent when your engine is pushed to its limit (high acceleration or driving in the mountains, for example). Numbers at the pump Automakers provide a recommended octane rating for use in each of their models. Filling your gas tank with higher-rated fuel than necessary would be a waste of money. For cars designed for peak performance, unleaded super is generally the norm. In certain situations that are especially taxing for your engine, a higher rating might be required.

But what do you do if you still notice knocking in your engine, despite the use of a higher-rated fuel? There are a few different solutions, including the use of a product called an octane booster, which contains additives designed to solve certain engine knocking problems. A second solution is to clean out your engine’s combustion chambers to eliminate unwanted deposits. Make sure you do all the necessary research when it comes to buying a cleaning product. Keep in mind that carbon deposits will return every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometres, which makes this solution a temporary one that needs to be repeated every so often. If the issue persists, make an appointment with your mechanic and let the experts fix the problem for you.

Whether you’re towing a heavy load, driving through mountainous terrain or heading to the campground with your family and all your equipment, each time you need your engine to work extra hard, a higher rating should be used. Fuel with a higher octane rating will better absorb the excess heat generated by your engine. Cars that have crossed the 100,000-kilometre mark on the odometer can also benefit from a higher octane rating, which may prolong the vehicle’s lifespan.

The far less expensive alternative is to have

Are you in the market for a pre-owned vehicle? Follow these tips to avoid getting stuck with a lemon. Research the price Are you looking for a particular model of used vehicle? First things first: go online to compare prices to find out what the market value is for your car of choice. Make a budget No matter what kind of car you’re shopping for, it’s easy to get carried away and go over your budget. Make a list of your wants and needs, and establish a budget that factors in insurance and maintenance costs. Don’t forget to leave yourself some wiggle room for the unforeseen. Get your hands on the car’s history Ideally, you’ll get the chance to view the invoices for any maintenance work done on the car. Dealerships usually keep the paperwork for all vehicles they’ve done maintenance on, and some private sellers do the same. Otherwise, there are organizations such as CarProof that offer vehicle history reports, but they aren’t always comprehensive. Know who the seller is Be sure you know exactly who you’ll be buying the vehicle from. There are ill-intentioned people everywhere, and the car sales

business is no exception. The thought of making a quick buck can make people greedy. Knowing who you’re doing business with is crucial. Have it inspected Once you’ve taken all the necessary precautions, it’s time to have the car inspected. Bring it to an independent mechanic of your choosing — if the seller insists on taking it to a specific garage, take your business elsewhere. Take it for a test drive Take the car out for a spin — don’t settle for simply starting it! Ideally, you should take 15 to 20 minutes to familiarize yourself with the feeling of the car. Try to drive it on city roads as well as on the highway. Listen for any suspicious sounds, pay attention to the suspension and keep your eyes peeled for any little details that could reveal the vehicle’s true condition. Get it in writing If you buy your car from a dealership, you’ll need to sign a contract. Make sure that it matches your verbal agreement on all points. If you decide to purchase from an indepen dent seller, it’s highly recommended that you draft a written agreement, even if you aren’t required to by law. In the event of future problems, it might offer you some valuable protections.

lot of flavour, and the inedible ones could kill you. She decided to hold out for some better finds. "Never eat a raw mushroom; even the ones in the store," Rusch advised. "All mushrooms should be cooked." Despite admitting to eating plenty of raw mushrooms herself, Rusch said they're nearly impossible to digest, as their cell walls are so tough. "In order to fully release the nutrients, mushroom should be cooked." Additionally, raw mushrooms contain small amounts of toxins, including some compounds that are considered carcino-

gens, which are destroyed when the mushroom is cooked thoroughly. "Everyone has different tolerances, but raw mushrooms can really upset your stomach," said Rusch. When Rusch is unsure, she bites, tastes, and then spits out a mushroom to determine whether it should be consumed. "Bitterness is one of the ways of telling if a mushroom is edible or not," she said. "Tasting a toxic mushroom is fine; it won't absorb poison into your body, but if it's bitter, don't take it home and eat it." She explained how our five senses help us forage for food, and that developing our sense of taste can be a strong tool for survival. Rusch also named a few dangerous local mushrooms that are too toxic to eat, such as the Destroying Angel, which is white and very pretty, but gives no second chances. "Then there's the Deadly Galerina, which a lot of Europeans unfortunately mistake for one of their

common mushrooms. It grows in clumps on trees," she said. Rusch also described the Jack-o'-lantern mushroom, nicknamed for its bright orange colour and bioluminescent properties. In other words, it glows in the dark. "It won't kill you, but it will make you very, very sick," she said. Some of the best quality mushrooms found on the hunt were the Coral mushroom (Clavarioid fungi), commonly found on decaying or dead wood, and the Honey mushroom (Armillaria), which is a type of fungus often considered the largest living organism in the world. It's important to note that the Honey mushroom looks very similar to the Deadly Galerina, and to tell the difference, you should look at the colouring: Honey mushrooms are white, sometimes a pale yellow. Deadly Galerina have a rusty brown colour, and usually a brown ring around the stem. Happy hunting!

The North Grenville Fire Service is urging everyone in the Municipality of North Grenville to look, listen and learn about fire safety during this year's Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme, which runs from Oct. 7-13 is "LOOK. LISTEN. LEARN. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere." "Everyone has a responsibility to protect their family and home from fire," said fire chief John Okum. "Prevention is always the best course of action. Identify potential fire hazards in your home and

take action to make sure a fire doesn't start." The theme focuses on three fundamental actions people can take to be resafe: 1. LOOK for potential re hazards around your home. Take action to prevent re from starting: • Always stay in the kitchen while cooking. If you must leave, turn off the stove. • Encourage smokers to smoke outside. Always extinguish cigarettes in large, deep ashtrays that cannot be knocked over. • Check electrical cords

for damage such as fraying or nicks. A damaged cord can expose wires and result in a potential shock or fire hazard. 2. LISTEN for the smoke alarms in an emergency. Make sure everyone knows the sound of the smoke alarms and can hear them in an emergency. Early detection of fire provided by smoke alarms gives you the extra seconds you need to get out safely. 3. LEARN two ways out of every room. Practice a home fire escape plan with everyone in your home before a fire starts so you and

your family can get out quickly. "Only working smoke alarms give you the early notification of fire and the time you and your family need to safely escape. Many fatal fires occur at night when everyone is asleep, so early warning is crucial to survival," said Okum. "Fire and smoke move faster than you. There's no time to figure out how to escape your home after a fire starts. Practice a home fire escape plan before there's a fire so you can get out safely."

KDH ISSUES CALL FOR ARTIFACTS Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) is creating a permanent historical display to celebrate its first 60 years and is asking for the community's help, seeking artifacts of all kinds - from nurses' uniforms to antique stethoscopes, photos and even memories from the period. The installation of the display in the spring of 2019 will coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of the KDH Auxiliary, which was founded in 1959 to raise money to help make a hospital for the

Kemptville district a reality; in 2020, the hospital itself will celebrate 60 years since opening its doors in June 1960. The main theme of the new historical display, to be located in the main lobby, will be that KDH is the hospital that the Kemptville community built. "This district needs a hospital!" was the rallying crying for the concerned citizens of the day, who raised money to build KDH at an amazing rate, once even collecting $282,000 (equivalent to $2.2

million today) in a one-week canvassing blitz. The display will also explore the differences between 1960s rural hospital care and the state of the art health care that KDH offers today, thanks to the ongoing generosity of the communities it serves. The hospital is working very closely on the project with the KDH Auxiliary, which, for 60 years, has painstakingly archived newspaper clippings, photos, and other memorabilia related to KDH. The North

Grenville Archives and others are also collaborating on the project. To this day, the auxiliary continues to raise funds for KDH; its annual gifts to the hospital are in the neighbourhood of $65,000, and its total contribution since its founding is in excess of $1.3 million. The historical display will also pay tribute to the KDH Foundation, which came into being in 1979 to fundraise for priority medical, diagnostic and surgical equipment vital for provid-

ing the best in patient care. To date, the foundation has raised $12 million in support of KDH. The year 2019 is significant for the KDH Foundation as well, as it will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. Lynne Clifford-Ward from KDH's communications department expressed the hospital's excitement about the new historical display. "We can't wait to see what comes in from the community," she said. "We are looking for medical artifacts, nursing and candy-striper uniforms, photographs, film, and other related materials, as well as personal memories and insights that tell the

story of the hospital in the heart of a vibrant community, serving and caring for generations of local people." She noted that, for both the auxiliary and the hospital itself, 60 years marks a "diamond anniversary." "Look for a diamondthemed celebration when we officially open the new historical display," she enthused. People who have artifacts and/or memories to share may contact Lynne CliffordWard at 613-258-6133 ext. 268 or lcliffordward@kdh.on.ca.

CANDIDATES TACKLE QUESTIONS ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUSINESS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com The North Grenville Chamber of Commerce hosted their All Candidates Night at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Oct. 2. The event was moderated by Paul Jansen of Jansen Law in Kemptville, and all 12 candidates attended. The first question asked the candidates how they will encourage new business in North Grenville. "I feel very distressed by what I think is a deteriorating relationship between many local businesses and the municipality," said Nancy Peckford, a new mayoral candidate. "For such a small town, I think it's absolutely unnecessary."

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland An All Candidates Night, hosted by the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce, was held within the council chambers of the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Oct. 2. Peckford listed the things that she would do if she is elected mayor to welcome and support local business, which includes holding a round table discussion with business leaders to get to the bottom of the frustration she sees between local businesses and the municipality. "It's obvious to me that many local businesses want to expand; there's no question that they want to be here - they invest here, they hire here, and we cannot let obstacles get in their way." Peckford stated that in order to do this, council must look at streamlining processes, eliminating blockages, and "really understanding the capacity and expertise, or lack thereof, in our planning department is really crucial." Incumbent Mayor David Gordon said that most people don't realize that in the last year,

OPINION

AUNT LIZZIE'S HAND-ME-DOWNS WERE ALL PUT TO GOOD USE IN THE DEPRESSION YEARS, GIFTS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Even though Aunt Lizzie, Father's sister from Regina, regularly sent a big wood box full of clothes her two university educated sons could no longer wear, we always seemed to get summer clothes in the winter, and winter clothes when sweat was pouring off our noses. However, Mother was grateful for whatever Aunt Lizzie packed in the box, and very little ever went astray. Once she had gone through the box, and found out what fitted my

three brothers, Mother sorted the remainder into different piles. Of course, it was all boys or men's clothes, so the chance of my sister Audrey or me getting anything we could just put on and wear was never an option. One pile was put away for the next season, one pile was what could be worn without being ripped apart ... and this usually caused a fist fight between my three brothers who always wanted the best of the lot. Mother settled that in a hurry by throwing everything back into the box, and telling the boys SHE would decide who got what! I knew from what came out of the box that Uncle Jack must have had a very important job, because always there were at least two men's suits. Of course, they would be well worn, and shiny, but by the time Mother was finished with them, there was no resemblance to what had come

from Regina. Mother said the suits were pure serge, whatever that meant. But according to her, serge meant wealth! And we learned that wealth in the '30s meant having a good paying job with no chance of being laid off. So Uncle Jack worked for the CPR which meant he and Aunt Lizzie could go anywhere in Canada free of charge. I just couldn't imagine anyone being that rich. Imagine, a free pass to anywhere in Canada! No wonder the handme-down box was full of the finest of boy's clothes, and the best serge suits you could buy. And Aunt Lizzie's hand-me-downs weren't to be sneezed at either. She was very partial to red, and we could always count on a silk dress, or maybe a blouse in the brightest of reds being in the box. Because I had flaming red hair, these pieces of clothing always ended up being made over

into something for my sister Audrey, which suited me just fine, as red certainly wasn't my favourite colour at the time. For some reason it was considered redheads could not wear red. Even my sister Audrey, whom I considered to be just about the smartest girl in Renfrew County had no explanation either. So all the elegant pieces of clothing Aunt Lizzie sent our way, always ended up being made over for Audrey. Uncle Jack's suits were made into skirts or jumpers for me and my sister. They would be taken apart, seam by seam, and then those seams would be flattened out with a hotiron and a dampened tea towel. Why Mother didn't simply cut them off was beyond me. But of course, that would be wasting a couple of inches of perfectly good serge material and that would never do. Never were Uncle Jack's suits made over for

my brothers. They were used to breaks and overalls, and Father was bone thin and Uncle Jack as round as a balloon, so Audrey and I always ended up with serge skirts and jumpers, which gave me special joy since I knew they had once been on the back of someone who held down a very important job many miles away. My two cousins, I figured, must have been pretty spoiled by Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Jack, because one or two shirts that looked like they had just come out of a store were usually in the hand-medown box too. And this is where the fight began between two of my three brothers. We had never seen our cousins from Regina, but they must have been about the same size as my brothers, because mostly, the fancy shirts fit Everett and Emerson like they had been made for them ... poor Earl, much smaller, wasn't lucky enough to get a shirt from Regina! When the box was emp-

tied, it was chopped up for kindling for the Findlay Oval. I often wondered if Aunt Lizzie ever wondered how much every last bit of the hand-medown box was put to good use. Anything that couldn't be made over was put into the rag bag, some of it was saved for making braided rugs, and everything else ended up on our backs. When the hand-medown box arrived from Regina, every one of us got something out of it, and helped ease the pain of the Depression that was all around us.

WATCHING GRANDCHILDREN GROW IS A PRIVILEGE SAVOUR EVERY MOMENT AS IT GOES BY TOO QUICKLY, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

I have never spoken to a grandparent who doesn't rave about their grandchil-

dren. Kathleen and I joined the ranks four-and-a-half years ago. Now we know why people never miss an opportunity to comment on their grandchildren or to show everyone who will look the latest photos of their grandkids, something most of us have readily available on our phones or tablets. I realize not everyone has children, meaning they won't have grandchildren either. In some cases that's by choice. Not everyone wants to be

a parent or grandparent. Still others yearn to be in our shoes but, for various reasons, never have the opportunity. Life can be very cruel! I have spoken to countless people who have told me how fortunate I am to be a parent and grandparent. And believe me I know how lucky we are. Being a grandparent isn't a right, it's a privilege. Kathy and I are truly blessed and we know that! Of course being a parent certainly has its ups and

downs. The same is true of being a grandparent. As grandparents we have a second chance to see children grow, learn and deal with the triumphs and good times along with the frustrations and heartache that life delivers. As a parent you always worry about your kids. Ditto for grandparents! Call it "Round Two" if you like. Being a grandparent means you get to worry all over again. Parents and grandparents never stop wondering what their children and grandchildren are doing, hoping they're OK and that everything is going smoothly. We trust that things will work out for the best! Our two grandchildren are at what we call "the perfect age." Lily will be five next March while Max turned two in July. They are growing quickly of course - too quickly. But at this age every day is a learning experience and be-

cause they live nearby we are able to watch them grow, learn and develop. So far things are going very well I'm happy to report. I know our daughter Heather and her partner Indy won't agree with my "perfect age" assessment in terms of their children. Lily has just started junior kindergarten so she is moving swiftly along the path of life. But as I just noted Max is two. The oft-repeated term "the terrible twos" definitely applies to our Max. He's a wonderful little guy. But he's a handful at times and he learns some of life's lessons the hard way. Had they been born in another era I think our grandchildren would have been great candidates to appear on the old CBS television and radio segment entitled Kids Say the Darndest Things. The American program was hosted by the late, great TV and radio personality Art Linkletter, a native

of Moose Jaw, Sask. Honestly, some of the things our grandchildren say are truly beyond belief ! I won't embarrass their parents by repeating any of those statements in print. But I'm sure every grandparent who reads this will shake their head knowingly. Little children are hilarious and most of the time they don't even know it. Lily and Max always make our day and some of the things they have said will stick with us forever. We realize the children won't be young for long. Therefore we savour every minute we have with them. Grandchildren are truly a gift! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont. He has been writing for community and daily newspapers in Ontario since 1971.

MacCRIMMON - In loving memory of my husband Leo Dale MacCrimmon who passed away October 15, 2017 and son Lloyd MacCrimmon who passed away January 19, 2018. I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine. I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, That I can go on living When I no longer have you. And the memories of the happy years, When we were together; The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, Will stay with me forever. And when I’m sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.” Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday.” Lovingly remembered by Wife and Mom, Ada Miss you Dad and Brother Ray, Lois and Kelvin

LADOUCEUR In loving memory of my dear son Shawn who passed away accidental October 8, 1982. Thoughts wander as daylight fads, To the land of long ago.

Forever loved and missed, Mom

She was there, a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold unto, In times of stress and strife. Michael T.

WILSON, John Arthur - In memory of a dearly loved husband, father and grampy, who passed away October 7th, 2010 October 7th, 2018. Fond are the ties that are broken, Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on.

When the time comes... If it should be that I grow weak, And pain should keep me from my sleep; Then you must do what must be done, For this last battle can’t be won. You will be sad, I understand; But don’t let grief then stay your hand. For this day more than all the rest, Your love for me must stand the test. We’ve had so many happy years; What is to come can hold no fears. You don’t want me to suffer so... The time has come, please let me go. Take me where my needs they’ll tend, But please stay with me ‘til the end. To hold me close and speak to me, Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree, It was a kindness done for me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I am saved. Please do not grieve that it was you Who had this painful thing to do. We’ve been so close, we two, these years; Don’t let your heart hold any tears. -Author unknown We miss you Bogart

Huge thank you for all the donations the Lanark Animal Welfare Society has received to help with the renovations of the shelter! We're very excited to announce that renovations will start by the time you read this column. A very large part of the building will be demolished and rebuilt. It should last for the remainder of the year. We kindly ask that you not drop off any more new cats or kittens. We simply can't handle it and don't have the space. Call the shelter at 613-283-9308 if you have questions. Should you be interested in fostering some of our cats then please look at our website or Facebook page for more information or send a message to shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. Thank you! We are blessed with the help of our Pet Valu stores in Almonte, Perth and Carleton Place, as well as the Natural Pet Foods store in Carleton Place. They'll continue to receive our adoptable cats. We'll try to update our available cats' pages as fast as we can but it is always best to click on their full picture to read from where they can be adopted. Microchip clinic/adoption weekend

Last call to mark your calendar to have your pet microchipped. The clinic will be held Saturday, Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Pet Valu in Perth. Cost $30 cash. No appointments needed. Please be reminded also of the upcoming adoption weekend in Perth at Pet Valu Saturday Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 14, all day, both days. We will have several cute cats and kittens available for adoption. On Sunday, Oct. 14 at Pet Valu in Almonte, you also have a chance to adopt cats and kittens from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) representatives will be available with bouncy cats. For your sweet tooth, they'll be having a bake sale as well.

This week's featured pets Harry Please say hello to bouncy little Harry. He's about six months old and was live trapped in Almonte. Harry is enjoying all the regular meals he gets at LAWS, a far cry from being a stray cat. He loves toys, especially with flashing lights. Although he's warming up to potential adopters he will need a bit more time to trust all of them. Please meet Harry at Pet Valu in

Almonte. Ozara Ozara is a pretty, all grey young female who gets along well with the other cats she has met. Ozara is playful and would do well in any household where she can grow up a little more and is offered a steady routine with lots of encouragement and love and attention. Ralph Ralph found his way to the shelter one day. On his own? We don't know. It took a few days of feeding him outside before he was trapped. Initially not very happy being in a cage (for an adjustment time only), he's now playing in the cat runs with several other cats. He's the friendliest, handsome grey/white guy you can imagine. He follows you around and loves to be handled. Ralph is available in Carleton Place at the Natural Pet Foods store. Whitney Our latest office cat is Whitney. She's absolute adorable and loves to walk around the shelter while sitting on your shoulder. She seems to like to see the world from up high. Maybe because she's deaf ?! Despite her hearing loss, she already caught four mice at the shelter. Unbelievable! She's the first one you'll see when you come to LAWS. She's a dilute calico with lovely faded orange markings on her overall grey medium long hair. Please adopt her from LAWS. Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

Affordable housing The next question asked the candidates how they will improve access to affordable housing in North Grenville and support different types of housing. Barclay said the municipality can do more to encourage local developers to have a percentage of the houses that they build to be geared to a certain income level. "I think we need a mix of housing in this community," he said. He added that it would be great if professionals who work in North Grenville were enabled to also

live here. Johnston said affordable housing is one of his priorities. "It would be great if we could open up the Official Plan and insist that affordable housing be a percentage of all new development that begins in North Grenville," he said. Johnston added, "Residential growth is about two per cent right now, so that doesn't mean we're attracting only people with money; we're also attracting people who don't have enough money to be able to afford to live independently - they need affordable housing." He said with North Grenville's growth comes people who can't afford to make ends meet, so affordable housing must become a priority. When it comes to the strategic plan, McManaman said affordable housing is an important factor that needs to be taken into

consideration, especially when there are opportunities for the municipality to discuss these issues with developers during the planning process. "We encourage developers to allow for a certain percentage of what's affordable to them, so we've really got some talking to do with them." Armour said his whole attitude is that affordable housing should be part of every community. "You've got various income levels, various people with various abilities, and they are a part of your society - you must include them somehow," he said. "I've worked with a lot of these people and I'm upset that there's nothing for them. It's an issue that I'm very aware of." Bertram said his affordable housing policy is fairly straightforward - keep taxes manageable so people can stay in their houses. "There are people in this region

businessmen in the community to run for mayor, and that they all have the same idea, which is that the current council is "intellectually constipated." "They will not support you, and a classic example is that out of all the mayors and councillors here, I am the only one running a successful business with three employees. That's what I have." Armour added that what the community really needs, above everything else, is a dynamic mayor with imagination and innovation who will set a role for local businesses. "When that happens, you will find that the red tape disappears," he said. "You will find that there's excitement in the community. Until you get that, forget it - you're going to crumble and grumble." Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin, incumbent councillor, spoke about the revamped economic development committee at the municipality, which was an effort by local business leaders and staff. She spoke about her involvement in dealing with the issues between council and the BIA (Business Improvement Area), stating that "from baptism to fire I've stepped into that myself." Tobin said she arranged a meeting with the BIA executive that was sanctioned by council, which resolved the problems between the BIA and the municipality. "That's what I bring to business - I know when to step in, I know when to speak, and I know how to work with people and bring them together," she said. "We're on a good road now and we're working forward." New council candidate, Kristin Strackerjan, identified pop-up shops as a great opportunity that should be used as a mechanism to encourage people to come to North Grenville. "It shows that we are fully supportive, and backing a good, productive, successful program will encourage other businesses to come here as well." Strackerjan also mentioned that the Kemptville Campus is a great opportunity and a beautiful space with potential for many different business-related ideas. Touching on wait times for developers to build in town, Strackerjan said, "If permits for businesses are as painful and as cumbersome for businesses as they are for developers, then we certainly have a problem." She said this problem turns people away

and encourages them not to return. Doreen O'Sullivan said we should be doing a root cause analysis of the problems that lead to businesses leaving town. "I would refer to the economic development experts and the BIA on how to attract new businesses to the community, but I think that something must be done because it's a wonderful place to live and a wonderful place to do business." Jim McManaman, an experienced businessperson, said small businesses need a government that gets out of the way, but also works with them. He also spoke to the potential of attracting businesses to the Kemptville Campus. Councillor candidate Deron Johnston has been speaking with small business owners over the past six months. "When they come to the municipality looking for co-operation, the first thing they hear is 'no,' absolutely every time," he said. "We must use a problemsolving approach when working with our local businesses. If one of them wants to expand, we should be asking them how we can support them to make that happen - not denying the permits, not making them wait for an extended period of time for conditional approvals." Former executive director of the BIA and councillor candidate, John Barclay, spoke about the BIA's relationship with the municipality. "The budget was approved by a duly elected board of volunteers consisting of businesspeople downtown," he said. "It's within the right, according to the municipal act, to change that budget, but just because you have the right to do something, it doesn't mean you should take the liberty to do it." Barclay said the issue of the BIA's budget being significantly reduced by council has not been resolved to his knowledge.

who are paying taxes that they can't afford," he said. "It's one thing to say you don't want to pay taxes, it's another to say 'let's adjust our food intake and other things concerning our standard of living.'" Gordon said he was the first mayor in North Grenville to bring affordable housing to the community. "This year, I lobbied and was successful in receiving $1,561,430 for affordable housing in North Grenville," he said. "That'll produce another 37 rental units that'll be affordable for the residents. It's a difficult task, but we have to keep on working at it." Peckford spoke about the $40 billion strategy that was adopted by the federal and provincial governments earlier this year to make housing more affordable in communities across the country. "My view is that it's really imperative that we better understand some of the policy levers that are part of that process, so that we can incentivize developers - they can't carry it alone," she said.
