COUNCIL SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT ON ALLOWING CANNABIS RETAIL STORES 613-516-0133

Council must make a decision on whether to allow retail cannabis stores to operate within the Municipality of North Grenville by Jan. 22, 2019. Before the decision is made, council is collecting feedback from the public via a survey that is available online at the municipal website (www.northgrenville.ca) or available for pick-up and return from the municipal office or the North Grenville Public Library. Recreational cannabis was legalized by the federal government on Oct. 17, but left the rules and regulations around it up to each province. In Ontario, regulations are currently being drafted to permit privately owned retail cannabis outlets, in addition to the online Ontario Cannabis Store. These stores and their operators will be licensed by the Alcohol & Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), following a mandatory notification period,

In order to receive a licence, each retail store must be at least 150 metres from a school, only operate between the hours of 9 a.m.

when the sale of recreational cannabis from retail stores will become legal. Beyond these regulations, municipalities do not have the ability to control the location of retail stores. They will be allowed anywhere in the municipality that is zoned for commercial use and a municipality is prohibited from creating a special category of zoning to restrict their location. Municipalities are being offered the opportunity to opt out of having retail stores in their community, but must do so by Jan. 22, 2019. Municipalities may opt in at a later date, however if a municipality decides to opt in, the decision is final and they cannot choose to opt out at a later date.

PROVINCE INVESTS $55,000 IN LEEDS AND GRENVILLE INTERVAL HOUSE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Leeds and Grenville Interval House received an early Christmas present Dec. 14 in the form of a $55,000 grant to continue its efforts to fight violence against women and children. Proof please to make sure the change was made. The Brockville shelter welcomed two special visitors for the funding announcement - Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark, as well as Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services and Minister Responsible for Women's Issues. Clark and MacLeod toured the 10-bed shelter and visited with Leeds and Grenville Interval House (LGIH) staff, including executive director Charlene Catchpole, and the women supported by the organization.

"I'm pleased to be here with one of my closest friends and colleagues, Minister Steve Clark, who when he was mayor over 30 years ago, started the process for this facility," MacLeod acknowledged in screening of the presentation on Clark's Facebook page. "That's why I'm here, is the work that Steve Clark and others in our government have done, I think sets the stage for us not only to support women but to ensure that strong women must support other women, but equally, strong men must support women." MacLeod said the $55,000 funding infusion comes from an $11.5 million plan to combat violence against women, including more than $400,000 worth of supports for eastern Ontario, "representing a $1.5 million commitment to rural and remote communities and investing in vulnerable children whose mothers have had to use

You have to remember - we met with some people today. They're not numbers, they're people," Clark stressed. "They're people that need our help so it's important that men in our community understand through our actions and words that women and girls are equal ..." Personally touched by the visit, MacLeod said it's an experience she will remember. " ... I'll never forget this visit, particularly as it's so close to Christmas," she remarked. "The kindness, the warmth, the coziness here.

LOCAL FOOD BANKS EXPOSE REALITY OF FOOD INSECURITY ACROSS OTTAWA VALLEY HIDDEN POVERTY IS STRONG IN SMALL RURAL COMMUNITIES YEAR ROUND PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com

Have your say

What should we write about next? editing@insideottawavalley.com

This is the third piece in T a four-part series exploring different aspects of poverty in the Ottawa Valley, from the struggles people face to make ends meet to the services that are available to assist them across the region. During the holidays, the call for support from local food banks is bigger than ever, but the demand is strong throughout the year as many rely on them on a weekly basis. Food insecurity is just one aspect of the hidden poverty affecting individuals and families across the Ottawa Valley. The Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) defines food insecurity as detectable in households with disrupted eating patterns due to insufficient income. This includes eating less than needed, skipping meals, or going a full day or longer without f food. Aside from compromising basic nutritional needs, food insecurity afffects the mental health of those in need, causing anxiety and stress while they struggle to make ends meet, contributing to a toxic environment at home.

THE ISSUE: FOOD INSECURITY IS A STRONG ASPECT OF HIDDEN POVERTY LOCAL IMPACT: FOOD BANKS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES ARE RELIED ON HEAVILY FOR THOSE WHO CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T MAKE ENDS MEET

Local journalism makes a difference. Support us by registering at insideottawavalley.com According to a recent report from the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, many ffamilies struggling financially and experiencing ffood insecurity are facing impossible choices like whether to buy food or pay their utility bills. This nationwide issue has generated the phrase, 'heating or eating.' The health unit's report indicates the living wage in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark is $17.07, and 39 per cent of households in the area earn less. The Salvation Army ffood bank in Kemptville is just one of many that strives to support those in need in small, rural communities. Co-director Erin Wong reported that more W than 60 families rely on the ffood bank on a weekly basis. However, this number ffails to represent those who have sacrificed other resources in order to stay ffed, contributing to the invisibility of food insecurity. "One year, we were called upon by the OPP to assist in a domestic violence situation where the husband had been removed from the home just days before Christmas," Erin recalled. "Upon investigation, they realized the ffamily was quite in need." On Christmas Eve, Erin

and her husband, Calvin, who serves as the other codirector for the organization, drove out to the family's home to deliver toys and food collected through their annual Christmas Campaign. In December, the Salvation Army serves roughly 100 Christmas hampers that include all the ingredients needed for a Christmas meal, as well as two full bags of groceries to last until the food bank reopens in the new year. Erin said the hampers are picked up by people of all walks of life. Ramsay Hart, executive director of The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, said he witnesses ffood insecurity every day. "The cost of food keeps going up," he said. "Wages are not keeping pace, social assistance rates have not been keeping pace ... It's really quite shocking what people on social assistance are expected to live on." Hart reported that more than 500 children are serviced through The Table's food bank every month. This problem has prompted child poverty to become the face of the organization's fall fundraising drive. But food insecurity doesn't just affect children and young families.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

FIRE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING PARKING LOT CONCERNS Continued from page 1

as the student drop off/pick up zone. The fire lane is a loop located to the far right of the property upon entering from County Road 44. "The cars are parked from the onslaught, all the way around the loop, in front of the fire hydrant, and all the way up to County Road 44," said Hall. At the end of the day, she said there are so many vehicles congesting the fire route as parents pick up their children that if there actually was a fire, a fire truck wouldn't be able to access the lane, let alone enter the parking lot. "The lane is supposed to be for fire trucks only there's posted signage everywhere," she said. "You're not supposed to park, because it's a hazard, but parents park their cars and walk away to go wait for their child." So far, at just over three

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland Empty, parked vehicles lined up through the emergency fire route to County Road 44 at Kemptville Public School during pick up hours at the end of the day on Nov. 22. The volume of parked vehicles is a big concern for a local parent of a KPS student, who has witnessed an accident and multiple near-accidents as a result of the congestion. months into the current school year, Hall has witnessed many near-accidents while picking her daughter up at the end of the day, as well as an incident involving a school bus and a parked truck. "The entire single lane pick up area was backed up with parked cars, and I saw and heard a bus side-swipe the truck," she explained. "In my opinion, this wasn't the bus driver's fault at all - a bus should be able to manoeuvre safely within a school zone, not be hindered by others." Hall made a complaint to

the school's principal, John Bourne, on the very first day of school this year, who thanked her for her comments. Her husband addressed the issue with North Grenville Fire Service Chief John Okum, who directed the municipal bylaw officer to open an investigation. Okum said a fire officer and a bylaw officer reported to the area in question to assess the pick up process. "They observed vehicles enter the no-parking student drop off area," said Okum. "Some individuals remained in their vehicle while stu-

dents were picked up, while there were other individuals who used the drop off zone incorrectly and left the vehicle unattended as they entered the school." The fire chief confirmed that staff further investigated by speaking with the municipal planning and building department to review the school's site plan, before reaching out to the school to discuss how the drop off zone is being used. Okum said the student drop off zone is constructed as designed in the school's original plan, with an extrawide paved area within the fire access route, which prevents the route from being blocked, but is not intended to accommodate parking. "If a driver pulls into the drop off zone, they are able to immediately drive away if an emergency were to occur, therefore not blocking an emergency route," he stated. "However, if the driver parks their vehicle, they are then causing a hazard and are in

violation." He concluded that staff are currently reviewing the investigation details and expect to meet with school officials soon with recommendations on how to move forward. Aside from concerns related to the fire route, Hall noted the rest of the layout of the parking lot is confusing, as drivers are immediately met with three lanes to choose from upon entering the parking lot - the fire route, the buses-only lane, and the single lane for cars going to the parking lot. As vehicles stop at this juncture, where they have the right-ofway and are not supposed to stop, it causes congestion and the potential for a collision with other vehicles trying to enter or exit the school. When reached by this newspaper, Bourne said no formal complaint has ever been brought to his attention, and that he didn't realize the parking concern was such a contentious issue. He

disclosed that he had a conversation with the fire department as he'd wondered if they would take issue with the dual purpose of the fire route, but said they concluded that there was no issue following their observation of the pick up zone. "Cars are not left unattended in the loop," he said. "Parents pull up and either wait in their car, or wait beside their car for the students to be dismissed." Bourne added that the area is supervised by staff during drop off and pick up times. Hall believes the fire route should be left for emergency vehicles only, especially since the only fire hydrant on the premises is located there and regularly blocked by parked vehicles. "If the common sense in regard to the basic safety of just dropping off and picking up your child isn't there, what else do we have to be concerned about?" she asked.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, ON THE FARM DIANA FISHER SHARES A FESTIVE STORY WITH READERS DIANA FISHER Column

'Twas the night before Christmas and all of the sheep, Were tucked in their hay-covered beds, fast asleep, All except one little lamb named Lily, Who often got scolded for being so silly, The first to run out, the last to come in, Lily thought life without fun was a sin, She skipped through the fields and climbed on the rock, She never came home until five o'clock, Each night when the sun said goodnight in the west, Donkey knew Lily would give him a test, She'd hide in the fencerow behind a thick bush, Donkey would have to kick and push, Through thickets and thorns to find the wee thing, And soon as he did, Lily would sing, She'd bleat and she'd baa in terror and glee, Dart through his legs and off she would flee,

To the barn where her worried mother stood, Snorting and stamping one little hoof, Into her pen Lily would race, Laughing as Donkey gave up his chase. But on that Dec. 24, Donkey returned alone to the door, He looked at the ewe and shook his big head, The look that he gave her filled her with dread, A coyote was seen early that day, Stalking and searching out his prey, The wild dogs often came back at night, To catch what they saw during daylight, "I can't find your Lily," said the old beast, "Oh dear," said the ewe, and she looked to the east, The coyotes' song hung in the air, So eerie but sweet, it gave them a scare, And then, a flash of something so white, Dashed into the barn like a shooting star bright, Lily! The barn cat started his hissing, And mother ewe noticed something was missing, Lily had returned without fail, But somehow she had lost her tail! Out in the dark, a coyote or fisher, Had tried to steal the lamb but had missed her, All Lily wanted to do was play, But she almost lost her

life that day, As Donkey trudged back up the hill, To watch the farm by night, He thought of Lily - now she's Lil, Who'd given them such a fright, The sun rose high on Christmas morn, As the animals gathered 'round, To see what the Farmwife was placing on the ground, The scent of molasses filled the air - a very special treat, For animals in wintertime, a snack that is so sweet, But when she looked around she saw that something was amiss, She scooped up the smallest lamb and gave her a big kiss, "Oh my," she scolded, "come on now, you'll have your very own pail." "It seems that someone in the night has stolen your wee tail." Donkey started to wind up his own familiar song, And soon his bray was ringing out, like a bell so strong, "Hee haw, hee haw," he sang, loud and clear, And all around the barnyard, coyotes shook

with fear, The beast was declaring his watch over the sheep, All they had was one tail that they could keep, "I guess," said the big dog, "we could eat mice," "They are here all around and they are very nice." And so, with Christmas, we marked one more year, Of life on the farm, which was safe without fear, "Watch out," said Donkey to the lamb, "I want to be clear," "Listen to me or next time you will be missing an ear." Life on the farm is never boring, Animals do not rest, Farmers are awake at sunrise, Giving it their best, And so we want to send a wish, To all that may hear, To each farmer, merry Christmas, And to all a good year!

OPINION EDITORIAL

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. I'm confident that I speak for all my colleagues on Metroland's Ottawa Valley team when I say that as journalists, we are here because of a passion to tell the stories that matter to a community. To bring attention to important local issues and help people feel more connected to one another. As the newest member of our editorial team, It's been incredible to witness the real, tangible impact that many of my colleagues' stories have had. In September, a tornado touched down in Calabogie, causing extensive destruction in that community. Yet were it not for John Carter, veteran Ottawa Valley journalist and current Renfrew Mercury reporter, no one outside of the area would ever have known. The rest of the media - both local and national - was solely focused on the two - Hollie Pratt tornadoes that touched down in Ottawa. It's likely that John's many interviews and photos led Environment Canada to investigate the incident further, and conclude (days after the first two tornadoes were declared) that it was, in fact, a tornado and not just a bad storm. In March, Karen Bell of Beckwith Township sat down with Canadian-Gazette reporter Tara Gesner, and made a public plea for a kidney donor. She told her story of living with primary biliary cholangitis, the result of the immune system attacking the liver, damaging the bile ducts. A transplant was her only hope at survival. As a result of this story, Carleton Place resident Alana Long answered Bell's plea and on April 18, gave 60 per cent of her liver to Bell. Two years ago, a flea market burned down just outside of Smiths Falls, resulting in water contamination on multiple properties that is still affecting residents today. Record News reporter Evelyn Harford was the first to report on this issue, and she has worked tirelessly over the last two years to tell the stories of those affected and keep the issue top of mind for stake holders in a position to do something about it. Having the ability to do what we love for a living reporting, writing, telling stories - is special in its own right, yet seeing the work that we do have a meaningful, positive impact on those in the community is truly the greatest reward.

WHO WE ARE

NEWS IS NOT FREE EVELYN HARFORD WRITES ABOUT WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO SUBSCRIBE TO NEWS EVELYN HARFORD Column

For all of you who feel like news is free, here is a friendly reminder that it's not. To create a story, a journalist and editor are paid. Traditionally, in the print business, the news was paid for by advertising in the print product, which brings in much more money than digital advertising. In an age where traditional print is waning, and legacy papers are transitioning like all media including traditional broadcasters into the digital world, many have moved to subscription-based models to not only survive the transition, but thrive. Subscription creates a

revenue stream that allows publications to continue delivering the news that matters and also investing into investigative stories that take a lot of time and resources to produce. These stories hold government and people in power to account, even in a place like the Ottawa Valley. So, for those of you who have registered to our papers in the recent addition of article limits on our site - thank you. For those who haven't, won't or "will just wait for the free paper to come to your door," remember that it isn't actually free. For those who say, "I'll just get the stories from another news source," we've got news for you - many of our stories are exclusive to www.insideottawavalley.com, which is made up of papers the Carleton PlaceAlmonte Canadian Gazette, the Smiths Falls Record News, the Kemptville Advance, the Perth Courier, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and the Renfrew

Mercury. And, if you find them elsewhere by bigger news organizations, they usually were covered by us first. News is an ecosystem. Local print media is the bedrock. Just as you subscribe to Netflix, you too can subscribe to the news. You can support journalists in the way that filmmakers and musicians are now, when they were, too, previously undercut by the ability to download movies and music without paying. Nothing is free, and it's especially important to support your local media that doesn't have the luxury of being bankrolled by the government like Canada's beloved public broadcaster. We have already felt support, with the highest number of registrants on any of the community sites across Metroland. Thank you to those who continue to support us. When you support us, we can continue to support you. Evelyn Harford is the reporter for the Smiths Falls Record News. She can be reached at eharford@metroland.com.

MAYOR OPTIMISTIC FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING EXPANSION PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com North Grenville's new mayor and council have introduced a number of ambitious ideas for new committees of council and working groups that will be established in the new year. At the Dec. 10 committee of the whole meeting, Mayor Nancy Peckford provided further details on the affordable housing task force that she first announced to in her mayoral address. Peckford confirmed that the intention of the task force is to look at options for expanding affordable housing in the North Grenville community that would serve various constituencies. "These options can arise from ongoing work with the county, where I've already been advised North Grenville has been placed on a priority list to expand

affordable housing options," she said. Peckford believes further discussions with local developers could yield new opportunities to expand affordable housing through new development. "We could also look at brand new options that we've never even explored in terms of innovating housing models, which could be enabled through the new federal housing 10year plan," she said. The $4 billion national housing strategy aims to build 100,000 new homes with financial assistance through the Canada Housing Benefit, in addition to repairing 300,000 homes. The plan also vows to cut nation-wide homelessness by 50 per cent. Peckford called for members of the public to express their interest in serving on the affordable housing task force, which will run for one year. She said the duration of the

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland This new layout for council meetings has been brought into effect with North Grenville's new council, as well as a new structure for the council meeting schedule, and the introduction of new committees and working groups, such as a youth advisory committee and an affordable housing task force. task force was set as such so that "we are not long in our deliberations, but we are smart in our identification of all possible opportunities within the municipality to expand affordable housing options in our community."

She noted that there are some stipulations through the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and the province in terms of what it means to offer affordable housing. Peckford said some of those definitions can be contemplated

in order to establish a 'made in North Grenville' definition of what affordability looks like. This will be part of the deliberations of the task force. The first step is convening the task force. "There is incredible tal-

ent in individuals and stakeholders in our community that are quite enthusiastic in looking at affordable housing options," Peckford said. "The task force is really intended to leverage and capitalize on existing talent and enthusiasm, to work with stakeholders, and to use the period of a year to do our absolute best in looking at our options and constructing a critical path to make those things a reality." In addition to the affordable housing task force, the new council has announced plans for a youth advisory committee, as well as new committees focused on agriculture and the environment. It was confirmed at the Dec. 17 council meeting that the committees will be adopted at the Jan. 14 council meeting, at which time, council representatives will be appointed to their respective committees.

EXPERT CALLS FOR BUSINESSES TO EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY, MILLENNIALS RETIRING BABY BOOMER POPULATION TO AFFECT BIG CHANGE IN CANADIAN WORKFORCE PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Over the next five years, five million Canadians are going to retire - what does that mean for our workforce? With advances in technology prompting businesses to embrace digital and establish an online presence, expert Pierre Cléroux predicts they will also have to change their recruitment process to appeal to millennials.

Vice president of research and chief economist at BDC (Business Development Bank of Canada), Cléroux identified these and many other related issues at the Leeds Grenville Economic Development Summit on Nov. 16, held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville. Despite Ontario's unemployment rate sitting at the lowest it's been in 40 years (5.6 per cent), Cléroux reported that with so many baby boomers retiring in the next five years, businesses are going to have to make some big changes to adapt. "Our labour force used to increase by more than one per cent every year, and now, the increase is almost zero," he said. The Canadian labour force in 2000 increased by

263,000 people. This year, the increase is only going to be roughly 124,000. "If you have difficulties to recruit, this is the reason," he explained. "Unfortunately, this is not a temporary situation - this is going to be going on for the next ten years, because a lot of Canadians are going to retire, and not enough young Canadians are going to compensate by joining the workforce." Cléroux noted that 39 per cent of entrepreneurs already struggle to recruit new employees today. "As business people, we have to think differently about our human resources," he said. "If we recruit the same way that we did in the past, we are going to be in trouble." He recommended three ways for business owners

to improve their recruitment process, beginning with tailoring it to the millennial population. "You have to give up your employee value proposition," he said. "Millennials have this expectation. So, you have to have a workplace that reflects that." The ideal workplace for a millennial offers flexibility, technology, and a tangible experience - not just a salary. "Also, we have to sell ourselves as employers." Just as every business has a marketing plan for its products and services, Cléroux said employers now need a strategy to sell themselves to potential employees. This especially applies to small and medium-sized businesses, and especially on social media, where millennials spend a

lot of time. Another way Cléroux indicated recruitment needs to change is in addressing the unemployment rate of immigrants. "That's the state of every province in the country," he said. "There are a lot of good people coming from outside of Canada who have good experience, good training, and they are very motivated to work. So, we have to look in that direction." The third recommendation is for businesses to invest in technology as a great way to reduce the need for workers. "It's not only true in manufacturing, it's also true in every sector of the economy - it's true in retail, for example," he explained. "Technology can really help in the situation where it's getting more and more difficult and expensive to recruit." Cléroux identified tech-

nology as the single most important factor to change Canada's business environment over the next ten years. He mentioned artificial intelligence, digital technology, robots, and 3D printing as just a few examples of groundbreaking modern-day technologies that are already greatly benefiting businesses across the globe. "When electricity was invented, you can imagine how it changed the way people were doing business," he said. "We are in the same time frame with artificial intelligence and digital technology." Cléroux believes these technologies have the power to change Canada's business model the same way that electricity did. "It's no longer business as usual - we are in a different era right now."

CRIME

OPP ISSUE WARNING AFTER TWO LOCALS LOSE THOUSANDS IN SCAM The North Grenville Detachment of the OPP is warning the public after two people in Kemptville were defrauded of thousands of dollars in a new telephone scam. Police say the scheme involves the victim receiving a phone call from

someone posing as a bank employee asking for help with weeding out a mole out the bank. They will instruct the victims to purchase iTunes gift cards and transfer money through Western Union. They will call multiple

times and even refer the victims to a website. Police urge residents to protect themselves from this and other frauds. Don't give out personal financial details or information over the phone. Don't believe callers

count to protect your funds. More information on frauds and scams and how to protect yourself can be found online: Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre Consumer Protection Ontario Canadian Bankers As-

Submitted/Kemptville Live Music Festival Joining Wilcox on July 18 will be his co-headliner, acclaimed singer-songwriter, Kim Mitchell.

PAIR PART OF MUSIC FESTIVAL LINEUP Continued from page 14

back in 1977 and included two of his best-known songs Bad Apple and Hipnotizin' Boogie. His next album, which also went gold, included more hits, Downtown Came Uptown and Riverboat Fantasy. More recent releases include Guitar Heroes, for Stony Plain Records in 2013 where Wilcox is teamed with legendary guitar slingers James Burton, Alvin Lee and Amos Garrett. In all, Wilcox has released nine studio albums and five compilations. He rocked the Kemptville Live stage in July 2017 and is back again to co-headline Thursday, July 18. Kim Mitchell will take the stage right after Wilcox. Mitchell has achieved gold and multiplatinum sales status over a long and storied career, starting early on as leader of the musically influential and eclectic Max Webster (five albums), a band who in the late '70s defined "alternative" and "independent" long before the words became clichés. Mitchell left Max Webster to pursue a long and very successful solo career that continues to this day. He has won three Juno Awards and a SOCAN 100,000 Radio Plays Award for his certified hit, Patio Lanterns. He is a gifted and peer-respected guitar player as well as an acclaimed songwriter, having penned (in partnership with Pye Dubois) and recorded numerous classic hits including Go For Soda, Rock N Roll Duty, I am a Wild Party, Easy To Tame, and All We Are, all songs that have become part of the Canadian musical genome. Recently Mitchell has started on his first solo recording in half a dozen years. He has been working with producer and friend, Greg Wells (multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer for artists such as Katy Perry, Keith Urban, Twenty-One Pilots, and Adele.) They are working towards a full new album release for springtime 2019.

“For unto you is born in the city of David Christ the Lord a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”

you believe this actually happened, it will change your life. When you go to a dark place on a clear and cold winter’s night and look up, you are looking toward the edge of our Milky Way Galaxy. Our earth is located about one third of the way towards the center of it. It is estimated to be 100,000 light years across. The billions of stars twinkling there in the night sky leave us speechless. We can identify with King David who wrote a song about what he saw:

a fairy tale? Many other stories attempt to explain our existence, but these stories do not correspond to the reality we see around us. If you believe that Jesus Christ came to describe the human condition and provide a way for us to be with Him when we leave this earth, you will be part of an incredible story that will leave you in a state of wonder and awe. You will honour Christ the Lord and give praise with the angels.

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” This view of the stars is spectacular, but even more awesome, God, the Creator, Merry ChristMas! came to earth as a baby so He could provide a way for us to relate to Him personally. At the birth of Jesus Christ, a multitude of angels proclaimed their joy: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

J-GLOW FITNESS HOSTS FUNDRAISING SHOWCASE IN MARCH PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Three athletes who train at JGlow Fitness in Kemptville will be attending a national competition in Fredericton this spring, and they're in need of some community love to help get them there.

Two of her students will be joining her at the Canadian Pole Sports and Arts Federation (CPSAF) nationals over March 30-31, 2019.

Pole Sport is on its way to being accepted as an Olympic sport. Pictured: Stacy Joannisse, right, will compete in the amateur Pole Art competition alongside Hilda Siegel, left. Pole fitness instructor at J-Glow Fitness, Stephanie Glandon, centre, is a certified coach and will be competing in the Masters division in both the Pole Sport and Pole Art categories. The event will bring more than 60 pole athletes together from children aged six to adults aged 55 and up, representing eight provinces. The mission of the CPSAF is to regulate, administer, and develop pole sports for the benefit of millions of athletes at every level and age in Canada. Glandon acquired

on them," she explained. "We're building the foundation and doing the groundwork we need to do to eventually have it accepted as an Olympic sport one day." Before it can be eligible for the Olympics, pole sport has to be recognized in 34 countries.

Donahoe, Gordon Wesley

January 15, 1950 December 4, 2018 Gord passed away suddenly at his home with his wife Kathy at his side. Gord was born in Ottawa, Ontario and resided in Almonte, Ontario for most of his youth. He was predeceased by his father Bruce. He is survived by Kathy, his wife of 46 years, son Graham [Kim], daughter Amy [Jeromy], dear grandson Nash, mother Polly, sisters Karen, Bunny [Kent], Jennifer, brother Rick [Chris], many nieces, nephews, and numerous inlaws. Gord and Kathy moved to Victoria in 1976 and raised their family. Gord was a chartered accountant and worked in private practice for several years before joining the government and working in the Ministry of Finance. He had retired in 2017. Gord was a quiet gentleman who loved his family, would do anything for a friend, was modest and unassuming and never wanted to make a fuss. His coworkers admired his knowledge, his practicality, and his frugalness. He loved road trips, history, reading and collecting sports cards, coins, stamps and looking out for a hot bargain. He and Kathy drove from Victoria to Newfoundland last summer which was a highlight for him. The family would like to thank the first responders, paramedics and the Oak Bay police department for their professionalism, expertise and caring manner. No service as requested by Gord and the family will inter his remains at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations would be welcome to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Cheryl Georgina Lamoureux

74, of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 9, 2018, at the Hilltop Manor in Merrickville, Ontario, after a long battle with Alzheimers and Dementia. She was born on September 21, 1944, in Shelburne, Nova Scotia to Rhoda and John Ryer. She is survived by her loving spouse Ralph Arthur Lamoureux sons, Donald and Christopher (Kit) Lamoureux, both of Nepean, Ontario; granddaughters Taylor, Madison and Sydney Lamoureux and grandsons Cameron Lamoureux, Noah Lamoureux and Samuel Jaimet; three sisters, Phyllis (John) Fitzgerald of St. John’s Nfld., Rhoda (Pete) Tingley of Enfield, N.S. and Beverly (Dave) Huddleston of Shelburne, N.S.; one brother John Ryer of Greenwood, N.S.; and many nieces and nephews. Cheryl’s father John Roger Ryer, one brother, (Buddy) Ryer, and three sisters, Anne (Ralph) Ruggles, Kaye (Joseph) Menard, and Dale Ryer preceded her in death. Cheryl was a long time resident of Nepean, Ontario, and McDonald’s Corners, Ontario, where she retired with Ralph after working for 36 years as a palliative care nurse at various facilities across the region. Raised in Shelburne, Cheryl moved to Halifax to complete training as a Registered Nurse at the Victoria General Hospital and it was while completing that training that she met and later married the love of her life Ralph, a navigator in the Canadian Armed Forces. Their early years found them in several postings across the Maritimes and Ontario, and the many friends they connected with over the years is a testament Cheryl’s quick wit, sincere caring nature and her beauty, which made fostering lasting friendships effortless for her. Cheryl especially loved reading, gardening, playing card games, watching movies and home renovation shows, and playing the piano, which she learned as a child. She also loved to volunteer and spent time every weekend helping her church and the surrounding community with fundraising and organizing events. In alignment with her wishes, a service will be held in the spring at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in Perth, Ontario, and a summer celebration of her life with be taking place in Nova Scotia (dates and location to be confirmed). A wake was held on Monday, December 17, 2018, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Lamoureux family home located at 42 Tripp Crescent in Barrhaven for friends and family who wanted to say farewell to a very special lady.

We often sit and think about the days that have passed by, We think about the memories and happiness that was shared. We think about the laughter, the smiles and all the fun But before we even know it our tears have once again begun. For although it brings us comfort to walk down memory lane It reminds us how, without you, life has never been the same.

BAKER - In loving memory of a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, Irma Baker, who passed away December 20, 2011. You are gone but not forgotten, As it dawns another year. In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of YOU are always near. To us you were so special, What more is there to say. Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today. They say that time heals everything, But we know it isn’t so, Because it hurts as much today, As it did seven years ago. Forever loved and remembered Barb, Bill Jeff, Nicky & Family Julie, Robert & Family

Not a day goes by that my thoughts aren’t with you.

Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-grandfather. Eleven years have passed since that sad day when one we loved was called away. God took him home — it was His will within our hearts he liveth still. Forever loved and never forgotten Arlene and Family

BUILD YOUR

DREAM TEAM

J-GLOW FITNESS HOSTS FUNDRAISING SHOWCASE IN MARCH Continued from page 21

Pole art is more creative and artistically expressive, but Glandon says the rules are just as strict, especially in terms of what athletes can wear. "You have to be covered the regulations say there's no removal of clothing, you can't show your gluteal fold ... but you're allowed to use hats and scarves and other

props that fit the theme of your routine," she said. The scoring for pole art is based more on the artistry, whereas the pole sport scoring is based on the difficulty and execution. Athletes will be judged on their flexibility, strength, performance on a static (still) pole as well as a spinning pole, and their dynamics. Both of Glandon's students, Stacy Joannisse and

Hilda Siegel, will be competing in pole art. Joannisse has been taking pole fitness classes at JGlow since March of last year. "Stacy has extreme flexibility in her back pocket," said Glandon. "She's able to knock out moves that I can't do." Joannisse credits her flexibility to her competitive cheerleading background.

Siegel has a bit of a pole background already and is a competitive power lifter and body builder. "So, she's got the strength and Stacy's got the flexibility," said Glandon. "We have a dynamic team." The three athletes will compete as the J-Glow Team. Leading up to the event in mid-March, the team will host a fundraising pole showcase at J-

Glow where the public can get a sneak peak of their routines. There will also be guest performances from silk, hoop, and acrobatic athletes. Donations will be collected at the door to help the athletes with their travel expenses. "I don't care if they win or lose," said Glandon. "I just want them to do their best and feel good about themselves. In the process,

they're getting fit and gaining that self confidence." The team is also looking for sponsors. If you'd like your logo displayed on the athletes' uniforms, contact Stephanie Glandon at waterskiiichick@gmail.com. Donations toward the team's travel expenses can be made through their Go Fund Me page, gofundme.com/jglowcdn-pole-sports-and-arts-national-team.
