LOCAL THERAPY DOGS READY TO SHARE THE LOVE KEMPTVILLE'S THERAPEUTIC PAWS TEAM GAINS THREE NEW MEMBERS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Last year, Kemptville resident Dawn Redmond started visiting local retirement homes with her dog, Porkchop, delivering comfort and camaraderie to those who need it most. Now, Redmond has established her own Therapeutic Paws of Canada (TPOC) team for North Grenville and area as three other local dog owners and their furry friends have joined her. "They all have a genuine interest in giving back to their community through Therapeutic Paws," said Redmond, "and they each
have a unique story that they bring to the team." TPOC provides animal resources to human needs through physical, mental, educational, motivational, and social interactions. "I think it all comes down to the notion that the animals aren't judging," said Redmond. "There's a sense of safety and comfort in being with an animal that loves you unconditionally." Therapy dogs can provide comfort to stressedout university students at exam time, those recovering from injuries, the elderly who can no longer care for a dog of their own but look forward to the visits, and more. One of the new members, Linda Johnson, is a semi-retired nurse of 45 years. When the team visits Garden Villa retirement residence in Ches-

terville, she knows many of the residents because she lives locally. She has even worked with some of the residents at Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH). "You can tell it really matters to the residents - it makes a big difference in their day," she said. Murielle Ovenden is
from France, and was interested in TPOC because her grandmother is now in a nursing home. "When you care about your family but they're far away, there's a weird feeling knowing that you can't take care of them. So, it feels good to help people like my grandparents here, where I can make a differ-
ence," said Ovenden. Her dog, M'Opus, has travelled with her and entertains residents by doing tricks and playing dressup. Carrie-Leigh Stockwell is a former TPOC Team Leader from Kingston now back involved with us as a team member with Logan, who is a show dog. They

visit residents of Dundas Manor long-term care home in Winchester. The therapy dogs have recently completed their behavioural evaluations, demonstrating a calm, stable and social temperament. "I really appreciated how seriously the evaluation took the dogs' comfort," said Ovenden. "Sometimes we can be a little blinded by how much we love our dogs and want to do things with them, but the evaluation really focused on whether the dogs were enjoying it themselves." Redmond said the next step, now that the team has been established, is to get them into more local facilities. She is currently working to get the team into Bayfield Manor, Kemptville District Hospital and WDMH. "Our team will be also participating in local events and fundraisers this summer to raise awareness for this important and heartwarming service," said Redmond.

AUTO SHOP REZONING CAUSES CONCERN FOR RESIDENTS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com North Grenville council heard from two concerned residents while discussing the rezoning application for a property on Bolton Road at the Feb. 5 committee of the whole meeting. The residential property has hosted a small auto body shop for the past 30 years or more and it only recently became known to the owner that this is not a permitted use on his property. As such, he is now applying to have the residential lands rezoned with a special exception to permit the specific use of an auto body shop, excluding motor repairs. The subject lands include 570 and a portion of 580 Bolton Road, north of Sanderson Road. Senior planner for the municipality, Kersten Nitsche, said staff conducted a site visit to assess the
property after the planning and development department received concerns from the public regarding noise, the exterior storage of cars and parts, potential environmental threats, and hours of operation. In addressing these concerns, the department has limited exterior storage of cars to two, and restricted the number of employees to work on-site to only those who are residents on the property. "We don't want this to become a large commercial operation," said Nitsche. "That's not the intent, and that's not what has been applied for today." Local lawyer Paul Jansen spoke for the applicant, Dan Dillabaugh, who was in attendance at the meeting with a number of family members and neighbours who came out to show their support. A neighbouring resi-
dent to the subject property, Doug Jackson, raised a number of concerns. "How are they going to stop any spills from running into our wetlands?" he asked. Other concerns of Jackson's include the size of the auto garage, the sounds of auto shop machinery disturbing his farm animals, car parts being strewn about the yard, and the risk of water, oil, or gasoline from the shop running down to his property. "I'm only here to protect my property, that's all," he said. To address the environmental concerns, Nitsche said the zoning amendment will be pending approval from the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, which requires the applicant to input his business activities through the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry, due to the air emis-
sions associated with paint refinishing work done on automobiles. "Part of the subject bylaw amendment is to hold the bylaw until the approval is in place that the applicant is meeting all environmental requirements," Nitsche confirmed. Director of planning and development, Phil Gerrard, spoke to the other concerns by stating that a review of the site will be required under the building code, as the land use is changing. "From a noise perspective, or a property standards perspective, and the fact that [the business] has
been going on for some time, we don't have any concerns," said Nitsche. "It's much like a home hobby that the applicant does for friends, and that's why we consider it as a home occupation." Another Bolton Road resident inquired about the business hours of operation, as he reported having had issues at another section of the road where someone was running a trucking business and large excavation trucks were driving in and out of a neighbouring property at seemingly all hours of the day. Nitsche reiterated the de-
partment's confidence in the application, stating that no previous noise complaints have been made and there are only two vehicles allowed on the property. "For this reason, we didn't feel that limiting the hours of operation was appropriate for this particular home occupation," she said. Council voted unanimously to rezone the property from rural to rural with a special exception, pending approval from the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. The matter will return for final approval at a future council meeting.

they expect to make selling retail products, the company says the cannabis supply shortage is applying a "nice upward pressure on the whole price." Fleurish is almost ready to apply for a sales license, and they estimate that their products will cost $3 to $5 per gram. They plan to apply for their sales license in late April and are hopeful that they can demonstrate to Health Canada that they are ready to start serving patients. They are currently planning to be selling to patients by June and will continue to sell wholesale in the meantime. Fleurish Cannabis is currently looking for parttime trimmers, production assistants, and a director of operations; all to be based out of the farm facilities in Kemptville. If you're interested in acquiring a job at Fleurish Cannabis, watch out for their table at CSE Consulting's Job and Volunteer Fair. The event will be held on Feb. 21 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville. For more information, visit www.fleurishcannabis.com.

Kemptville's female-focused cannabis producer, Fleurish, is making progress in cultivation and is already generating revenue as they dive into 2019 headfirst with big plans. An update from the company released Feb. 5th said the Fleurish team is committed to becoming Canada's premier female cannabis health and wellness brand. After they acquired their production license in August 2018, the 15,000square foot facility, located at 2725 County Road 20, is now in full production mode with their first harvest set for March. There are now more than 3,000 plants in a state of high growth and more than 35 distinct plant genetics at the Fleurish farm. "With our continued partnership with Inplanta and our new partnership with RavenQuest BioMed,
we have been able to secure the start of our proprietary and exclusive genetic library," states the release. Flourish is planning to offer finished products like creams and edibles in the future, but they believe having their own proprietary strains first will position them well as competition thickens in the coming years. The company is currently cultivating a CBD strain which produces 14 per cent CBD and less than 1 per cent THC, in addition to a strain called Cold Creek Kush, which is expected to produce 17 per cent THC and less than 1 per cent CBD. Though they are still awaiting approval of their license to sell, Fleurish is permitted to sell the cannabis they grow to other Canadian licensed producers in light of recent changes under the new Cannabis Act. After their first harvest in March, they will be able to generate revenue from their facility and reduce the need for operating capital infusions as a result. While the price of wholesale cannabis is generally lower than what

" ... And I will make thee beds of roses and a thousand fragrant posies." ~ from The Passionate Shepherd to his Love. Christopher Marlowe (1564 - 1593). My Shepherd is just as romantic, in his own way. He buys me flowers on our anniversary, although I prefer the wildflowers he picks for me when he's out patrolling the property on his ATV. He writes me poetry, but his compositions are closer to a dirty limerick than a soulful sonnet. My Shepherd knows what I like and what I don't like, and he takes both categories into consideration when trying to show me that he cares. I don't like paying way too much money to sit in a restaurant on Valentine's Day, crowded with too many other people who have been likewise pressured into practis-
ing this silly tradition. I don't like being rushed through a meal, no matter how delicious, so that the next sitting of couples can have our table. My Shepherd knows this, so we normally take off to the sunny south during the week of Feb. 14. We usually celebrate Valentine's Day, coincidentally, with a glass of wine on a beach somewhere. But not this year. This year we are home for Valentine's Day, so we are doing something a little different. This year we are taking note of this romantic occasion by ordering food from our favourite caterer and enjoying it at home, with our own selection of music and candles, followed by a sappy movie of my choosing. But we don't really feel pressured to do the whole commercialized Valentine's Day thing. I don't want him spending money on gifts and flowers. Lucky for me, he is my Valentine all year long. Take a lesson from my Shepherd. Here's how you show your sweetheart that you care, when you live on a farm: • Take your boots off outside - and your clothes too, if they are smelling of manure or carry half the soil of the garden on them. • You might have to hose yourself off before coming in
the house too, or jump in the pool. You work in the barn; you don't want to live in one. • Fend for yourself at times. You don't have to do all your own cooking, but everyone appreciates someone who can make their own meals instead of marching into the house and announcing that they are starving to death, therefore making it the other person's problem. • Entertain yourself ! There's nothing more exhausting than being made to feel responsible for another person's quality of life. Get yourself a healthy hobby. • When your mate is going to be late, start dinner without being asked. They're late. Chances are they will also be hungry. . Start the laundry, pick up the (grand) kids' toys, run the vacuum and do the dishes once in a while. Every person in the household has their own set of responsibilities, but if you turn the tables occasionally and do more than your usual share, you will get noticed. • Listen to your partner. We don't need you to fix all our problems, but we do need you to hear them. You would be surprised how much money we save on therapy - and alcohol - if you learn to practise active listening. • Surprise your mate. It doesn't have to be a cruise or a new car - unless she needs one. It could be tickets to a
rock concert, or a day at the spa. Think of what she really likes and do it. For no reason except that you want to see her smile. • Did she wake you up early again with her crashing around in the dark, trying to get ready for work? Pull a robe and some boots on and go out to start her car for her. Brush the snow off it while you're out there. You're up anyway. • Try something new, just because your partner wants to do it. This doesn't have to be bungee jumping or skydiving. It might be ballroom dancing, though. Love means moving outside your comfort zone for the other person. • Make concessions, break your own rules, look the other way when others are breaking them, and pick your battles wisely. Put up with her annoying friends and family members (not that she has any!) and go along to that event that would not be your first choice, just because she asked you. These are all ways to show your partner that you love them. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours - all year long.

OPINION EDITORIAL
DECRIMINALIZING MENTAL HEALTH The Lanark County OPP, together with Lanark County Mental Health are helping to make a difference to those who struggle with mental heath issues. There has been a recent addition of a second health nurse to go on calls with the OPP where mental health may be an underlying issue. The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant submission to obtain registered community mental health nurse last year, and now, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network has been instrumental in securing the additional registered nurse (RN) - but only for a short time. There are enough people incarcerated due to mental health issues and the last thing police want to do is put more people in jail when a call to a mental health official would make more sense. When a police officer is on a call and suspects mental health may be an issue, they are able to dispatch the nurse three ways: the RN can go on the call with the officer, the RN can be called upon for a followup conversation, or the police and RN will make proactive calls to folks who may be on the high-risk radar of a mental health-related issue. These RNs are making a difference, and this plan is working. Now there needs to be secured funding so these two positions can become full-time at the detachment. The Champlain LHIN is footing the bill for the short-term to have the second nurse on board. The mental health nurse is part of the health system, and the RN can connect someone to services on the spot - without having to take people from their homes. This is a program that is also well received by the officers on staff. They're eager to learn more about the program, as they are being debriefed on situations where the health nurse has been dispatched. The nurses are on flexible shifts; primarily they work day shifts through the work, and their schedules are offset and extended coverage for longer days. It's all about getting the calls to move faster along the lines of support and help for those suffering with mental health. It is a logical step in decriminalizing mental health. This program is all about getting people connected to the help they need before it becomes a crisis. Already, in the first three months of the first RN coming on board at the Lanark County OPP detachment, there were 93 referrals to mental health agencies. Last year, there were 400 calls where mental health was an underlying issue. Lanark County is ahead of the curve on collaboration. Part of the police response is being able to build on collaborative. Let's hope funding will come through so these two positions will become full time. Already the numbers are showing that this program is working.

HANEMAN CHILDREN DREADED MRS. BEAM'S CURE-ALLS REMEDIES OFTEN FELT WORSE THAN AILMENTS, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
The question at the supper table was whether or not we were sick enough to call in old Dr. Murphy from Renfrew, or would Mrs. Beam get us over whatever ailed us. It seemed just about everyone at the Northcote School was coughing. Loud, racking coughs and runny noses, coughs that went right down to our bootstraps. My sister Audrey was the only one of us five children who was spared. If we called Dr. Murphy, it would mean forking over $2, but if Mrs. Beam could fix us up,
it would be a cup of tea and a couple of Mother's sticky buns. It was Father, always looking for a way to save a dollar if he could, who said we should give Mrs. Beam a try. Just the thought of Mrs. Beam and her cures sent me into a fit of coughing. And Emerson said he was all better as he wiped his dripping nose on his shirt sleeve. Mrs. Beam's cures were far worse than the disease. The fact that they usually worked though did little to ease our anxiety. She firmly believed that raw onions could cure everything but labour pains. Audrey had to explain what they were, and since none of us were in that state, it seemed we were doomed for a visit from Mrs. Beam. I didn't know what was worse, raw onions tied around our necks in a little flour bag sack, onions cut up and put on a chair beside our bed, onions under our pillow, or the mustard
plaster she told Mother was a sure cure for everything from the whooping cough to a bad cold. She didn't trust Mother to make them without her proper instructions, but if we weren't sick enough to call in Mrs. Beam, Mother made them herself. It didn't matter who made them, I hated them with a passion, because when the plaster came off, my skin felt like it was on fire, and my bony chest was so sore, I could hardly bear to put on my undershirt. Then there was Vicks VapoRub. Sometimes we didn't even have to have a cold for Mother to slather on a goodly portion right out of the little blue jar. Always at night, before we went to bed, was when we got the treatment. She said it would keep the cold germs away. My sister Audrey hated to have her chest rubbed with Vicks. She hated going off to school smelling, as she

said, like Ritza's Drug Store. And the next morning, before she dressed, she would go downstairs and bring up a basin of hot water, a bar of soap and a washcloth, and scour herself from her chin down to her waist, in an effort to get rid of the smell before she went off to school. Well, it was decided. Mrs. Beam would be summoned to come and treat whatever ailed us. I asked Audrey if she was called to treat everyone who went to the Northcote School. Audrey said she doubted it. She couldn't imagine bad Marguirite's mother letting her daughter go off to school smelling of onions or VapoRub.
She came loaded with a sack of onions and went through the house like someone possessed. She put cut-up onions on just about every surface in the upstairs bedrooms, ordered Mother to put them under our pillows when we went to bed, and it wouldn't hurt, she said, to add a few to the chamber pots. Just as she was about to go out the door, she told Mother the ones of us who were the sickest should go off to school with one of Father's dirty work socks wrapped around our neck. Thankfully, Father refused to part with his socks. When we five children were finally in our beds that night, we decided that
when we next took sick, we would all pool whatever money we had tucked away in our wash stands, and hopefully we could come up with the $2 it would cost to bring old Dr. Murphy out from Renfrew.

MODERATION KEY TO KEEPING NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS REBECCA CRONK URGES READERS TO SET REALISTIC HEALTH AND FITNESS GOALS FOR 2019 REBECCA CRONK Column
...going the
With the dawn of every new year there comes resolutions, MANY resolutions. A couple of the most common are to become more fit and to lose weight. Although most times resolutioners, if you will, are well-intentioned, unrealistic expectations coupled with ill-preparedness inevitably result in failure. Typically, a large influx in gym memberships is quite a common phenomenon after the first of January. Fitness options are plentiful as are the opinions and beliefs. Lots of cardio, no cardio, fasted cardio, HIIT, strength training, resistance training, functional training, bodyweight training, cross fit, yoga, dance, pole, barre, drumming etc. You get my drift. There is generally also an increased interest in fad diets. The many options can be confusing, misleading and can wildly contradict one another. There’s high fat, low fat, carb free, high protein, juice diets, soup diets, herbal tea diets, grapefruit diets, fat burners, etc. Again, you get my drift. One third of all New Year’s resolutions are abandoned before Valentine’s Day. In order to better our chances of success, I recommend we rework this whole resolution and diet phraseology and mentality. I believe the key word is moderation.
Rebecca Cronk/Metroland Small steps to healthier eating is important. First, instead of 'resolution,' which suggests a promise or commitment (one which is usually next to impossible to keep), let’s call it ‘evolution,’ which implies gradual development and progress. Second, an alternative for diet, which suggests restriction and/or limitation could be ‘edit,’ which implies correction or modification or improvement. In order to ‘evolve’ and become more fit, start by finding an activity you enjoy and go from there. If you do decide to take the leap and join a gym to work with a personal trainer, do some research. Make sure that gym employs only qualified, educated trainers. If you’re not ready for a commitment that drastic then perhaps try walking briskly for 30 minutes a day, or swimming, or snowshoeing. Remember: it doesn’t matter the level you start at; what matters is that you start. As you become more comfortable with your new more active lifestyle, you can begin increasing your level of intensity. As far as an ‘edit’ is concerned, it is important that you not feel consistently hungry, deprived or guilty. Start with reasonable substitutes like fresh fruits instead

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? MAC'S BECOMES CIRCLE K
Mac's Milk gas station in Kemptville got a facelift today. In the fall of 2015, convenience store giant Alimentation Couche-Tard announced its retirement of the 58-year-old Mac's convenience store brand as the company began rolling out its Circle K banner in most areas of the world. A crew swapped out the Mac's Milk signage at the Kemptville location at 421 Rideau St. on Feb. 5 and a gate was erected around the gas pumps to while new pumps were installed. The changeover means that customers may now reap the rewards of using their Shoppers Optimum Card to collect points when they fill up at the Circle K. No job cuts came as a result to the approximately 8,000 employees that work at roughly 800 Mac's stores in Canada. Mac's stores in the United States and
parts of Europe saw the change take effect in 2016, which reached Canadian stores in 2017. Ontario businessmen Ken and Carl McGowen founded Mac's Milk Ltd. in 1961. The name changed to Mac's Convenience Stores in 1975. Couche-Tard was founded in Quebec 1980 and acquired Mac's in Quebec in 1993. Six years later, the company bought the remaining 980 Mac's, Mike's Mart and Becker's stores operating in Ontario and Western Canada from Silcorp Ltd. Couche-Tard has 15,000 stores across Canada, the United States, Europe, Mexico, Japan, China and Indonesia.

Three unique wedding reception ideas If you’re getting married, but the thought of a traditional wedding reception leaves you cold, try one of these three fun alternatives: 1. Brunch reception For early birds, a morning ceremony and brunch reception is the way to go. Ask your preferred breakfast spot to cater and then serve all of the breakfast classics with espresso drinks to wake your guests up. Just because it’s early in the day doesn’t mean you have to have a dry wedding — mimosas anyone?
insideottawavalley.com
2. Backyard barbeque If you prefer to spend your Saturday nights drinking beer and hanging out with friends, why not have a backyard wedding? Find a caterer that specializes in barbeque and get dirty with some ribs or pulled pork. Serve local craft beers and set up some old-fashioned lawn games.
3. Cocktail party Do you find banquets a bore but still want to dance the night away? Host a cocktail party! Your venue can pass around lots of appetizers and you can create a signature cocktail for the night. With this type of reception you can use a smaller space to accommodate your guests. A wedding reception that breaks with tradition can be more memorable, festive and affordable than the standard dinner and dancing that follows most nuptials. Your options are limited only by your imagination.

Trying to decide on wedding favours? Or maybe you’re wondering what types of gifts to purchase for your bridal party? In either case, here are a few ideas to look into. For the guests • Flip flops: these will be a hit when people’s feet start to hurt from dancing • Flower seeds or bulbs: your guests can grow your wedding flowers at home • Coaster with your initials: opt for a natural material like cork or wood For the bridesmaids • Tote bags: have hemp or canvas bags personalized with their names • Jewelry: a dainty necklace or bracelet that matches their dresses • Floral robes: they’ll have something
to wear while getting ready and they’ll look great in your photos For the groomsmen • Flasks: if they’re a group that likes to party, these will get a lot of use • Monogrammed pocket watches: a good timepiece never goes out of style • Fun socks: men don’t always get a chance to show their personality, so get them some fun socks to wear with their suits Show some appreciation to your guests and bridal party by giving special wedding favours and gifts. And be sure to accompany the selected token with a simple thank you.

Traditionally at weddings, women wear corsages while the groom and other men sport floral boutonnieres. The people wearing them often include the groomsmen, the couple’s parents and grandparents and any other family members that the bride and groom want to honour. If you’re not excited about pinning a flower to your lapel or wearing one on your wrist, here are some ways to put a fresh spin on the tradition. • Herbs and fruit: berries and herbs look elegant while still being fresh and green. • Colourful buttons: you can make unique boutonnieres and corsages with an assort-
ment of buttons.
• Wooden tees: if the bride and groom are avid golfers, tie a few colourful tees together with a bow. • Feathers: they can be as colourful as flo wers but are unexpected and whimsical. • Ornaments made of twigs: a shooting star, a heart or a simple wreath made of dried twigs would be eye-catching. The best part about most of these options is that, unlike fresh flowers, they can be kept as souvenirs of your big day.

Moore - McMunn
CAULEY - BINGLEY
Tansley Paulina Cauley and Mervyn Lee Bingley were united in marriage on September 1, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls, Ontario. Dinner and reception followed at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. It was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely evening surrounded by loved family and friends. The bride is the daughter of Paul and Beverly Cauley (Toledo, Ontario), the groom is the son of Shawn and Jennie Bingley (Poland, Ontario). The couple enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon in Jamaica.
Parents Ray and Ramona Moore and Joy and David McMunn are pleased to announce the wedding of their children Sara and Wade Wedding took place on February 18, 2018 at Temples Sugar Bush.
Wedding invitations traditionally include a few different cards and a whole lot of information. If you’re planning a wedding and want to cut down on the amount of paper you send, a wedding website is the perfect way to communicate with your guests. What needs to be on the invitation All basic information about your wedding needs to be on the invitation. This includes the full names of the bride and groom to be, the location of the wedding and the date and time it’ll take place. Traditionally, your parent’s names would also be included, but if you’re paying for your own wedding, you can take or leave this tradition. Include the URL to your wedding website so people
know how to access it. RSVP cards Your guests need a way to tell you whether or not they can make it to your wedding. You can include this with your invitation, or have people respond on your website. Both options are acceptable, but keep in mind that some of your older guests may not understand the lack of a response card.
It’s Your Day
The North Grenville Municipal Centre, located in Kemptville, offers modern and cost-effective facilities for hosting your wedding. Our venue can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 300 guests.
What to put on your wedding website Use the website to let your guests know about accommodations, the gift registry and directions to the venue. You can also include some photos of the two of you, introduce guests to your wedding party or add local fun facts for people from out of town.
This can include: • Kitchen and beverage bar area to be used by the caterer of your choice • 300-seat performance theatre for ceremony • Outdoor patio area • A/V equipment rental • Free Wi-Fi • Municipal Clerks to perform your ceremony

Three things to consider when planning a destination wedding Have you long dreamed about getting married on a tropical beach or at a countryside villa in Tuscany? Wherever you decide to tie the knot, here are a few things to consider when planning your destination wedding.
exclusively yours on your special day
1. Hiring a co-ordinator will make things easier Weddings require extensive planning and if yours is out of town, the details can become overwhelming. Hire someone local to the destination — or someone from home with experience co-ordinating events in your chosen location — to avoid unnecessary headaches.

2. Destination weddings are multi-day affairs Be sure to show your guests you appreciate them travelling to be with you on your big day by organizing a few group activities for them, either before or after the wedding. You can plan a welcome breakfast, for example, or an excursion to take in the lo cal sights. 3. Not everyone you invite will make it Don’t be surprised if some of your loved ones can’t make it to your wedding. While it may not be a problem for all of your guests, it’s important to understand that a jaunt to Europe, a week-long all-inclusive trip to the
tropics or even a weekend in the next town over isn’t in everyone’s budget. In addition to the above, think about how you’ll transport wedding essentials to the destination. If you’re travelling by plane, it’s best to pack wedding attire, rings and gifts in your carry-on bag.

Cut blooms that will last the longest Flowers may look beautiful in gardens and even when snipped and brought inside to brighten up a mantel or dining table. Unfortunately, cut flowers have a finite shelf life. While cut blooms can’t live forever, certain varieties will outlast others. Choosing flowers wisely for wedding centerpieces or keepsakes can help couples enjoy selected flowers longer. • Peonies: Peonies can last for about a week or two when brought indoors. HGTV says to snip the stems when the buds are tight, wrap them in newspaper and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to arrange. • Zinnias: These bright blooms can last for three to four weeks and are best harvested in summer. Related to the sunflower, zinnias are available in a wide range of colors. • Chrysanthemums: Widely referred to as “mums,” these mid-
kellysflowersperth
summer to late-fall flowers can last between three and four weeks after being cut. Mums can be used to fill out floral displays because they tend to be inexpensive but durable flowers. • Coneflower: The purple coneflower is popular, but coneflowers are available in many colors aside from purple. Coneflowers attract butterflies and are beautiful in cut displays. • Ranunculus: Ranunculus mimic the look of roses and display layer after layer of silky, crepelike petals. These blooms can last a week or more in vases if they’re put in water right after being cut. • Carnations: Another budgetfriendly flower, carnations are popular from early spring until late summer. Available in many hues, they can be used in conjunction with other blooms to create well-rounded floral displays that may last between
two and three weeks. • Lilies: Lilies are traditional flowers that are beautiful to behold. Lilies are available in various sizes and colors and can be bought fresh year-round. Lilies often last longer than a week after being cut. Look for lilies with tight buds, as such flowers tend to last the longest. • Gladioli: The lovely flowers of the vertical-growing gladiolus, which is sometimes referred to as the “sword lily,” are available in yellow, peach, pink, white, and other hues. These bulbbased plants can last up to two weeks after being cut and add variety and texture to floral displays. Although advice varies on how to keep cut flowers fresh the longest, veteran florist Nic Faitos, senior partner at Starbright Floral Design in New York, who has provided his floral expertise for Reader’s Digest, says the best approach is to
keep vase water clean. In addition, ProFlowers suggests keeping cut
blooms in a cool room away from direct sunlight and heat
HAVE WE GONE SOFT WHEN IT COMES TO WINTER? JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES ABOUT THE FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH - THE WEATHER! JEFF MAGUIRE Column
I have written a lot about winter in recent weeks but considering the weather we have experienced so far in the New Year it's pretty much the topic of the moment. The winter of 2018-2019 began meekly enough. There was virtually no snow on the ground in our region at Christmas and the New Year dawned relatively "winter-less." What a change in the month of January! We had every kind of miserable, seasonal weather event imaginable, sometimes all on the same day. This was the snowiest January in the history of nearby Ottawa. More than 100 centi-
metres (cm) of the white stuff fell on the National Capital Region topping the record of 93 cm set in January 1999. I can deal with snow. It's the freezing rain that my wife and I abhor. Heaven knows we had more than our share of nasty, freezing precipitation in January. That trend has continued into February. I freely admit that the older I get the more winter depresses me. Kathleen and I are suffering from cabin fever as it has been too snowy and icy to walk outside lately. We have joined the unofficial "walking club" at Walmart which has been growing exponentially in recent weeks. All things considered this is really just an oldfashioned Canadian winter and I am wondering whether many of us (including
me at times) are overdoing it in terms of complaining about the conditions? I do wonder about the reaction - try over reaction - to winter across Ontario and Canada. Two weeks ago some parents in Ottawa complained to school authorities and the media because school buses were not cancelled in the midst of a severe cold snap. They said it was "too cold for children to stand waiting for the bus." School buses have already been cancelled many times this winter across Eastern Ontario and especially in Lanark County where we live. I realize safety is the first issue and I'm all for that. Fear of liability is a parallel matter. I don't envy those who have to make these decisions. Because they are never going to be accepted as necessary by certain people! I'm not about to launch into one of those claims that "in my day we walked
five miles to school every day and five miles home in any kind of weather." Because we didn't! However we did walk to school every day and it was about two kilometres from our front door to the entrance to the public school in Stittsville. In winter my mother ensured we were dressed for the weather and that was that. No excuses. Off we went! Many kids who lived farther away were bused to school. I don't recall the buses being cancelled very
often? They certainly weren't when I was riding a school bus daily to and from South Carleton High School in Richmond. We would have been in ecstasy if a "Snow Day" had been declared. I don't remember one to be honest. But then again the 1960s was a very different era I suppose. Perhaps one reason Canadians today dislike winter is because many of us are not ready for it. Either that or we simply ignore
the fact snow is falling, the wind is howling or streets and walkways are slippery with ice. The number of people I see who are not dressed for the conditions is startling to say the least. But I'll let you be the judge. Have many Canadians gone soft when it comes to winter? Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

METROLAND MEDIA WOMEN LEARN SELF-DEFENCE TECHNIQUES LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Some female staff members of Metroland Media's Smiths Falls office had the opportunity to brush up on self-defence techniques on Wednesday, Feb. 6 as sensei Lisa Carroll offered up lifesaving tips. Carroll, who owns a karate dojo in Perth, has been offering this type of training for 10 years; she teaches women how to not only be aware of surroundings at all times, but to defend themselves in case of emergencies. She was joined by fellow sensei Derek Needham, who played the part of the attacker (side note: he had a few bloody wounds following the session). "It's about being a hard target, as opposed to a soft target," she explained, as she put the women to the test by asking them to identify the differences between the two types of targets.
Being confident and having good posture are just two characteristics of a hard target. Not giving away too many secrets, it's all about being aware of your surroundings at all times knowing how to prevent an attack, and how to get away from a dangerous situation. "Always be aware of your surroundings," Carroll said. "And pay attention to your intuition. If you feel weird about a situation, get out of it as fast as you can." Tips like keep your head up while waking (not looking at your phones); make eye contact with people; know where your exits are if you're in an unfamiliar building were shared. Kemptville reporter Paulina Hrebacka had nothing but positive feedback from the afternoon's session. "It feels good to have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can resort to if I ever

"For me, the training was a reminder of how valuable our natural intuition is, and how important it is for us to trust it - that's priceless. One of the key unspoken lessons was the
reinforcement of our confidence and courage, which are tools in themselves. It was empowering." Sales representative, and new to Metroland is Niki Linton. "It exceeded my expectations," she said. "I am very thankful for hav-
ing the opportunity to participate, and the atmosphere was very comfortable." And from news editor of Carleton Place and Kemptville, Ashley Kulp, she felt that the teaching style of Carroll "immediately
makes people feel at ease. She provided me with a new way of thinking, particularly about being more aware of my surroundings and trusting my gut instincts." From our digital editor, Hollie Pratt: "I really enjoyed our session with Lisa, and found it very educational. It was eye-opening how much of women's selfdefence is about prevention and being aware of your surroundings. How you carry yourself in public, for example, means so much in terms of being a soft versus hard target. The physical moves we learned went well beyond 'kick him in the balls.' Some of the tips Lisa gave, such as pinching and jabbing your two fingers into his throat, I never would have considered on my own."

In loving memory of our dear Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, and Great Grandma and Grandpa. Many years have passed since those sad days, When the ones we loved were called away.

Wayne passed away peacefully at Lanark Lodge, Perth on Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 at the age of 72 years, with his beloved life partner, Cheryl Von Hagen at his side. He was a loving father of Jennifer (Travis Dowd) and Allison Douglas. Cherished grandfather of Georgia, Norah, Holly, Sydney and Charlie. Dear brother of Sherrill (Colin Smethurst). Predeceased by his parents Andrew and Doris (nee Soper) Douglas. Wayne was born in Montreal but spent his childhood and teen years in Verdun, Quebec. He was a regular at the Dawson’s Boy’s Club, often playing there with his band The Golden Tones, to the delight of many. Wayne moved to Ottawa with his family where he worked as a High-Tech consultant for both private companies and Federal Gov’t departments. After retirement, he was able to realize his life-long dream and settled on Dalhousie Lake with Cheryl, surrounded by nature. Wayne was a kind, loving partner, father, and friend, and always had a brilliant smile, laugh, and wink for everyone he encountered. He touched the lives of so many, and his absence is deeply felt. Family and friends are invited to a Gathering to Honour Wayne’s Life at the Blair & Son Family Centre on Friday, June 7th, 2019 with times to be determined. Those wishing are asked to consider a memorial donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, 115 Christie lake Road, Perth, On.

CARROLL, Tom – In memory of a dearly loved and cherished husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away February 18, 2014 Remembering you is easy, We do it every day. Missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. You had a smile for everyone, You had a heart of gold. You left the sweetest memories The world could ever hold.

He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just kept right on working, For those he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And if he had some worries, They went unspoken too. He was there, a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings, The man that we called DAD. Loved and missed Son, Mike and Granddaughters
