SUPPORT ROLLS IN FOR LOCAL ANIMAL SANCTUARY Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Kemptville put a call out to the community this winter for help. With big utility and vet bills, the local shelter needed assistance to help cover the costs of keeping their barns warm for the animals, and they received an outpouring of support from individuals, organizations, businesses and families. One such business is Kemptville's CIBC. The bank hosted a raffle for the ranch, auctioning off donated items through Janu-

ary to the end of March including a Valentine's Dinner for two at Castleview Fine Dining, a gift basket of goodies from Pet Valu, a gift certificate from Cup of Jo's in Winchester, and more gift certificates from Castleview Fine Dining and Salamanders Restaurant. The proceeds from the five raffles came to a grand total of $2,500. "We're so happy, it will cover a lot of costs," said Melissa Button, senior financial services representative at CIBC. "It was really successful, and they deserve it." Andy Parent, founder of Big Sky Ranch, said the do-
nations help in many areas. Other businesses who have supported the organization include Willow & Rose, who hosted a signmaking workshop in January, and RBC Kemptville also had a bake sale that month with proceeds going to Big Sky Ranch. "The response we've had from the community is incredible," he said. "It blows my mind that such a wonderful community as Kemptville and surrounding area is coming together for those who can't speak for themselves." The ranch is home to roughly 120 animals, including cats and dogs, rabbits, goats, sheep, emus, horses, pigs, and more. "What CIBC has done is
just unbelievable," said Parent. "It just shows that in the eyes of a lot of organizations, the little guy is not forgotten." Big Sky Ranch was established in 2002 as a hobby farm, and has since helped nearly 3,000 abused and abandoned animals through rehabilitation and adoption programs. They have a no-kill policy and place no time limit on any animal's rate of recovery or adoption. Aside from monetary contributions, the sanctuary is also currently in need of hay, shavings, sweet feed, and domestic animal feed/grain donations. To learn more, visit www.bigskyranch.ca.

"[The regulations] are still not written, but what we know is that they're currently in the process of being drafted," he said. "They suspect that the implementation date may be 2020, which is just a few months down the road."

The province is making some significant changes to the Police Services Act which will impact police services boards across Ontario and their roles and responsibilities at a municipal level. The Comprehensive Police Services Act, also known as Bill 68, was passed on March 26. The changes are described by the province as efforts to streamline and strengthen police oversight. At a special meeting held on April 2, North Grenville council heard from chair of the North Grenville Police Services Board (PSB), Don Sherritt, to learn more about section 67 of the act, on which the
PSB has previously raised concerns. Mayor Nancy Peckford noted that there are many improvements among the changes to the amended bill, but that the municipality should be engaged at this 'critical juncture' to discuss how the changes will affect police services in North Grenville. Sherritt echoed the urgency in addressing some of the changes as the policing regulations are currently in the process of being established and written. "Things have moved along a lot quicker than anticipated," he said. While the bill reflects many positive changes that should be supported, Sherritt said the section that deals with detachment boards is de-

REVISIT THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD WITH CONCERT CHOIR'S SPRING MADRIGALS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com To celebrate the coming of spring, the North Grenville Concert Choir (NGCC) will be performing a series of concerts called Now is the Month of Maying, featuring songs from the Renaissance and early Baroque period. The tunes, called madrigals, are secular voice compositions traditionally sang a cappella. However, the NGCC will be accompanied by a flautist and a classical guitar player for their performances. Madrigals were typically sang by smaller groups of people divided not
only by soprano, alto, tenor and bass, but also by additional sections within them, giving the songs more depth and causing the sound to be more intricate. "It's wonderful music, the melodies come together and intertwine," said Elisabeth Rubli, NGCC member and publicist. "It's really quite beautiful." The performance features the works of a number of different composers, with songs written in English, French, Italian and German. "It's been quite a learning curve - lots of homework," Rubli laughed. The songs reveal unique
stories of comedy, tragedy, violence, and romance. Choir director, Phillip Konopka, said the pieces are short, but very complex. "It's pretty intense, but it's rewarding," he said. "It's a lot of fun" The Kemptville performance is set for Sunday, May 12 at 2 p.m. at St. John's United Church. The choir will be dressed in Renaissance period costumes, and following the performance, guests will be treated to rustic Renaissance-themed food. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Brewed Awakenings or through www.ngcc.eventbrite.ca.

British Columbia, New Brunswick and Ontario. Together, they will represent Team Canada in November. They are listed as follows: Joseph Munn (NB), Ann-Marie Wiggins (NB), Joanna Foley (NB), Jennifer Goodwin (ON), Alex Hart (BC), Jasmine Mah (NS), Hannah Brown (ON), Kristen Langille (ON), Naxius Boucher (NB), and Andrew Tran (ON). "The pole sport is such a great community," said Glandon. "All the athletes were wonderful. There's no drama behind the scenes, and everyone is so supportive. For me, that's what I want in a competition." She is looking forward to the world championship in Finland, which will be broadcasted live. Leading up to the event, Glandon plans to hold a Halloweenthemed fundraising showcase for her trip at J-Glow on Oct. 25, where guests can catch a sneak peek of her routine. Organizations like the Canadian Pole Sports and Arts Federation are striving to build the foundation necessary to have pole sport designated as an Olympic sport one day. Before it can be eligible, it has to be recognized in 34 countries.

A pole sport athlete from Kemptville did so well at a national competition in March that she'll be representing Canada at a world pole sport competition this fall. Stephanie Glandon is a pole fitness instructor at J-Glow in Kemptville and recently travelled to Fredericton to participate in the Canadian Pole Sports and Arts Federation (CPSAF) national competition. During the event, Glandon achieved the highest score in her division, masters 40+, for both the pole sport and pole art categories, landing her a spot on Team Canada for the Pole Sport World Championships, hosted by the Pole Sports and Arts World Federation (POSA), which will be held in Finland in November. She'll also represent Canada at the Pole Art World Championships in Fredericton in June 2020. The national competition was attended by more than 60 pole athletes, male and female, aged six to 55, from across eight provinces. Glandon was up against 25 competitors for the pole art category and 12 for pole sport. "The training leading up to it was quite rigorous," she said. "I was at the studio almost every day working on my routine." Glandon trains at 3Sixty Dance and Fitness in Ottawa. The event featured an Olympic-style points system from a panel of judges representing Canada, the United States, and South Korea. Both of her routines were about four minutes long. "It's a long time to be up there in front of a panel of judges - you're definitely exhausted by the end of it," she said. Glandon was accompanied by two of her pole fitness students from J-Glow, who did her hair and makeup for the routines. "It was so awesome to have their support, because it was one less thing I had to worry about," she said. Even her costume was designed locally by Michelle Rodgers, who makes costumes for dance companies in the North Grenville area. "I couldn't conceptualize what I wanted, so I really relied on her to help me bring my idea to life," said Glandon. "She did a really great job." Ten other athletes qualified for the world championships with Glandon from

GIVE THE DOG A BONE ... AND STAND BACK DIANA FISHER SEEKS ADVICE ON DOG'S BONE AGGRESSION DIANA FISHER Column
ny at first ... and then a little scary! My daughters have raised dogs, and their advice is to train them as puppies to accept having their food taken away and given back again. Well, we did that with Fergus. He appears completely uninterested if I take his bowl of kibble away. If I take his bowl of leftovers (people food) away he might look a bit disappointed, but he certainly doesn't growl at me. But all that changes when the dog gets a bone. Online advice from the ASPCA says that it is completely natural for dogs to exhibit "resource guarding" behaviour. Apparently some dogs will even guard stolen socks, or food that they can see on the kitchen counter. Thank goodness Ferg isn't that bad. He just wants his bone, and he wants to be left alone while he enjoys it. The most common advice I am seeing online is to let the dog alone while he enjoys his bone. Of course, we have control over when he receives a treat like this, and we know to give him his space. But being unaware of the strange workings of the canine mind, I am worried about what might happen if Fergus exhibits this resource guarding behaviour when we have children visiting the house. If you have advice on how to handle this, I would love to hear it. You can email me at dianafisher1@gmail.com. Diana Leeson Fisher is a regular columnist who grew up in the small town of Kemptville. Her blog can be found at www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com.

For the first year of his life, Fergus was quite thin. He was born the runt of the litter - that is part of the reason why we chose him from among his fatter, fluffier siblings. But no matter how much food we gave him, Fergus just didn't gain the weight he was supposed to in the first year. He just wasn't food oriented - and he preferred running for the ball over napping and all other activities. He was the product of his own self-induced boot camp: a lean, mean barking machine. Except for the mean part. We were used to our skinny Golden Retriever. He wasn't emaciated or anything - just very slim. But when I posted photos of Fergus on social media, I would occasionally receive negative comments. "Your dog is so thin!" "Oh! Poor Fergus! You really should feed him more!" Honestly. I took Fergus to the vet and they confirmed that, while our pup was on the diminutive side for his breed, he was also perfectly healthy. He was not underweight, but hovering nearby (within a pound of that rating). We were already feeding him the puppy food that supports fast growth, and agreed to keep him on it until he was 18 months old. We continued to feed him on demand, whenever he wanted to eat, because he never overate.
Occasionally we laced the food with something slightly fattening and delicious. We poured cooled bacon fat on the kibble. Laced it with the fat off a pot of fresh chicken broth, or coated it in a thin layer of peanut butter. I continued to throw Fergus' beloved ball for him, but when he slowed down, I offered food and water. Then he ate. Slowly, over the next year, Fergus gained weight. His hollowed out hip area became sturdy and solid. Now he is a very handsome, muscular young dog. But you know, he will probably always be on the lean side. And that's OK. I don't know why some people felt the need to tell me my dog was skinny in social media posts. It isn't as if I was unaware. I do appreciate their concern, but I'm pretty sure the same people wouldn't have the nerve to accuse me of not feeding my dog enough if they met me at the dog park. The anonymity of social media can make people bold. Now, I do have a problem with Fergus for which I might consider taking some advice. For a dog who is rather unconcerned when I fill his bowl with kibble, preferring to eat at his leisure, nibbling a few bites at a time and only after he has had exercise, Fergus is a whole other animal when you give him a fresh beef bone. A friend of mine has a Golden Doodle and noted the same food aggression in his fluffy little dog. This creature that resembles a teddy bear most of the team becomes a growling, snarling beast when you go near him and his bone. It's fun-

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 column is part of that project. How do you get your sources? It's one of the most frequent questions journalists receive, and the handling of sources is not something we take lightly. Sometimes sources come to us. We'll be approached by a community member we've made a connection with through another story, or taking a phone call, email or social media message from someone who has an interesting story to tell. For routine types of reporting such as crime, all factual information should be confirmed by an official source - for example, the police in the case of a crime. Responsible journalists avoid publishing rumours by getting the facts from sources whose job it is to know the truth in
such situations. Other times we must look a little harder for sources. This could mean reaching out to people via email, social media and phone, or even knocking on doors in search of comments. Usually, these types of sources add colour to your story - anecdotal accounts and/or character descriptions of the story's subject. The public interest is best served when news sources are identified by their full name, and we always encourage people to go on the record; however, there are exceptions. Sometimes, reporters will use confidential sources if that is the best way to serve the public interest. Underage and vulnerable people may also require anonymity for their own safety. The decision to publish comments by an anonymous source is not one we take lightly. The reporter must discuss the situation with their senior editor, and if the decision is made to move forward with the comments, the reporter must describe in the article why the source is not being named. Essentially, everyone, including you reading this article right now, is a potential source for a reporter. You never know when you may be invited to contribute your knowledge or expertise to a future story. Hollie Pratt is digital editor for Metroland Media East. We welcome your questions and value your comments. Email our trust committee at trust@metroland.com.

OCNA AWARDS GALA RECOGNIZES NEWSPAPERS' BEST LAURIE WEIR WRITES ABOUT AN AWARD-WINNING TRIP WITH COLLEAGUES LAURIE WEIR Column
Friday, April 5 was a night to celebrate, as our 80plus Metroland papers racked up 73 Ontario Community Newspapers Association awards, and our news team of 10 in the Ottawa Valley earned seven of them. Smiths Falls reporter, Evelyn Harford earned our only first place plaque with her story on LGBTQ+ issues surrounding the town's first pride event last summer. The judge said it was a story that highlights the concerns and experiences of people we haven't historically seen represented. This one did a particularly good job of that and Evelyn let the voices of the people speak for themselves. We had four second
place finishes. Tara Gesner's series on the political scene in Carleton Place earned the number two spot and her first-ever OCNA award. The judge highlighted her "very thorough look at a small town meltdown at the hands of the current mayor." Desmond Devoy had the other second place finish with his headline writing, which included 'Urine Trouble', and '50 Shades of Brown'. The judge said these headlines had him laughing and that he actually enjoyed reading about pee and paint trouble in Perth. Evelyn also received two second-place finishes: one for environmental writing, in what the judge said was an important story and what community journalism is all about; and one for her story about the missing soldiers' names on the Smiths Falls cenotaph,
which was "a well documented story." Desmond was third for a creative 'grip-and-grin' photo of balls being presented to local schools. He had the staff at Metro, Perth toss a bunch of balls in the air, which the judge said created action which is good for a static photo. I earned third place for a health and wellness story, which highlighted the need for AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in Perth after a man had a heart attack while playing soccer and his teammates administered CPR. Of note from the judge: "It's a great mix of strong quotes from a variety of sources and helpful medical information. This is a story that could potentially safe a life." It was nice to kick back with my colleagues and have some fun. We hope you enjoyed our stories over the past year, and we're committed to bringing you even more of them in the future. Register now and don't miss out. Laurie Weir is the news editor for the Perth Courier and Smiths Falls Record News. She can be reached at ljweir@metroland.com.

Municipality of North Grenville Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant and Bridge Street Sanitary Pump Station Optimization and Expansion Environmental Study Report (ESR) Addendum North Grenville is currently experiencing high growth and development pressures and is undertaking an Environmental Study Report (ESR) Addendum to address their need for additional wastewater treatment capacity to service community growth. A review of the Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) suggests that there are hydraulic constraints limiting the treatment capacity of the WPCP, specifically its ability to provide tertiary treatment of high peak flows. The WPCP requires additional wastewater treatment capacity and/or equalization storage to accommodate these current peak demands as well to meet projected growth and sewage flow demands associated with future developments. The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) planning process provides an opportunity to evaluate existing systems and infrastructure at the Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) in the context of meeting or exceeding current treatment standards, projected demands and long-term reliability and sustainability. Recommended Alternative and Preferred Design Concepts Following a Public Information Centre (PIC No. 1) on December 14, 2017, the preferred solution was confirmed to be the expansion and upgrade of the WPCP, the addition of influent equalization storage at the WPCP and the rerating of the Bridge Street SPS. Following PIC No. 1, alternative design concepts were evaluated to determine the preferred design concept for the upgrades. The preferred design concept was presented in a final PIC held on March 7, 2019 (PIC No. 2) and presented within the ESR Addendum.
9 | The Kemptville Advance | Thursday, April 11, 2019
Notice of Filing of Addendum
The preferred design concept for the liquid treatment train includes the construction of a new Headworks Facility that will house new screening and grit removal equipment, pumping system and possibly odour control units, and that will be able to accommodate septage receiving, the addition of a new Primary Clarifier, addition of a new Aeration Tank, addition of a new Secondary Clarifier, expansion of Tertiary Filtration, upgrades to the Effluent Pumping Systems and the addition of an Emergency Overflow. The preferred design concept for the solid treatment train includes maintaining Co-Thickening of primary and secondary sludge, the addition of a second primary digester with the capability of performing mesophilic (35ºC) and thermophilic (55ºC) anaerobic digestion, and the installation of a biosolids dewatering system, consisting of a new Geotube® Dewatering Facility and Hauling Cake Biosolids for land application. By this Notice, the ESR Addendum is being placed on public record for a thirty (30) day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. Interested persons may review this document and provide comments to the Municipality. Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice, funding opportunities, and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Municipality may then proceed with the works. The ESR Addendum is available for review beginning April 17, 2019 and a copy of the complete Report will be available at the Municipal Office, located at 285 County Road #44, Kempville, ON K0G 1J0, open Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

BISHOP'S MILLS AUTHOR SHEDS LIGHT ON VILLAGE HISTORY IN NEW BOOK A new book entitled Tales from the General Store - the Untold History of Bishop's Mills was released last week, by local author Tom Graham. The 200-page book is the culmination of years of gathering stories of community resilience from the lived experiences of many local residents. It was standing room only at the book launch, which was held in the Bishop's Mills Community Hall on Tuesday, March 26. Graham's presentation included photographs from the past about many tragic and everyday events in the village. There were audible gasps in the audience when the detailed animation of what is known as 'The Great Fire' was shown. Attendees included many local residents, past and present, plus local North Grenville Council representatives. In addition, special guest, David A. Bishop, great-great-grandson of village co-founder Chauncey Bishop. Bishop was recognized for his generous donation of copies of
the new book for the North Grenville archives and libraries. North Grenville Mayor Nancy Peckford acknowledged Graham's work. "The book provides an invaluable and textured history of a community in constant evolution ... From the efforts of its early settlers ... Graham illustrates how resilience and camaraderie with one's neighbours is at the backbone of the survival of every small town." Following the presentation, refreshments were served while attendees were able to purchase a book and have it numbered and signed by the author.

The 12th annual Sustainability Fair and Market will take place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Sunday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fair, co-ordinated by Sustainable North Grenville, will have the usual kids' area, more on that another time - this article is about the toys for the big kids! The fair will once again include an arena full of electric cars. Models will be on display from Tesla, Chevrolet, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, Chrysler and more. Minivans, sedans, hatchbacks, even an electric performance motorcycle by Zero. All cars are privately owned and that's what makes this show special. Visitors have the opportunity to interact with owners who have driven them in our climate, through winters, on long trips, and
include one by local "EVangelist" Gord MacFarlane who will take the mystery out of charging. Charging at home, or charging en route - range anxiety has become range confidence. Another presentation by Sustainable North Grenville member Jeff Goodman will compare purchase and ownership of an EV with a combustion-powered vehicle. More presentations are still in the planning phases, so be assured of a very full day in the arena. The Kemptville Electric Vehicle Show has become one of the largest in the region. Sustainable North Grenville would like to express its gratitude to the community for the support that grew this show from modest beginnings to a key attraction that competes with shows in large cities. Come join us and bring the big kids!

Kemptville's Canada Day festivities are being coordinated by a new entity this year. After being provided the opportunity to take on the task by the municipality, the Kemptville and District Community Association (KDCA) will be planning a fun-filled day of festivities for Monday, July 1 in Riverside Park. The traditional flag raising ceremony and national anthem will kick-off the day as usual, hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 212. A variety of family-friendly activities will follow including games and competitions, sports such as swimming, live music and dancing, food concessions, and of course, a grand fireworks display. The new KDCA board met recently to begin preparations and assign committee responsibilities. Their initial and ongoing focus until the event will be to recruit volunteers to help with set up and clean up, children's activities, concessions, sports events, and assistance throughout the weekend with a number of tasks.
A campaign is currently underway to secure sponsors interested in supporting the Canada Day celebration, and they will be provided with significant brand name exposure to match their level of sponsorship. The KDCA is working with a $10,000 budget for the event. The organization's new board members are as follows: Wendy Embleton (president), Samantha Rivet-Stevenson (vice president), Cindy Little (secretary), Dale Lowe (treasurer), Stacey Dickson, Reinder Kuntz, Amanda Riley, Anne Walsh, Warren Weiss, and Debbie Wilson. If you're interested in volunteering or sponsoring for the Canada Day celebration, please contact KemptvilleDistrictCA@gmail.com or visit www.kdca.community for more information.

OPINION
SELDOM USED, THE STRAP STILL STOOD TALL IN CLASSROOM EMERSON AND CECIL WERE WELL ACQUAINTED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
It hung on the side of Miss Crosby's desk where only the rows in the upper grades could see it. But those of us in Primer Book certainly knew it was there. Hanging from a cup hook, black as ink, and as long as a yard stick. It was the dreaded strap! Those uppity pupils from the school in Renfrew called it the cat of nine tails, but to us it was simply "the strap." It ranked right up there in respect like a stern look from Miss Crosby, or a slap on her desk with her ruler. The strap was a con-
stant reminder that we better toe the line, or we would pay dearly. Never once, was I ever in need of the strap. I was too much in awe of the teacher, and tried to be on my very best behaviour at all times. Aunt Lilly once called me Miss Goody Two-Shoes, the meaning of which escaped me entirely. My brothers Emerson and Cecil, however, were well acquainted with the strap, although it had little or no effect on their behaviour. In fact, when they had provoked Miss Crosby to the point where she had to resort to using it on their outstretched hand, it almost always brought snickers from everyone at
the Northcote School. For one thing, both boys stood a good six-feet tall, and Miss Crosby came to about the middle of their chests. So it was quite a rigmarole when she pointed to one of them to come to the front of the room, and hold out a hand. Since the hand was about level with her head, she had to take the little wood bench she used to wipe off the top of the blackboards and stand on it. One time, she almost lost her balance, and Cecil grabbed her arms just before she fell backwards, strap and all. Of course, she didn't have the heart to discipline him after that! By the time Miss Crosby got everything organized to administer the slap with the strap, the urgency would have long since passed, the rest of us
To find more events in your community visit
would be fighting to keep from laughing out loud, and she would order the offender back to his seat. By then her face would be beet red. I thought the strap was only meant for the boys at the Northcote School. Never once did I ever see Miss Crosby use it on any of us girls. Sadly, we weren't saved from sitting on the stool in the corner of the room at the front wearing the cone-shaped dunce cap, however. That wasn't because we were misbehaving. It was because we hadn't done our homework. Miss Crosby didn't believe in sending us to the corner if we didn't understand the lesson or made a mistake. It was simply used as a lesson in misbehaving. Only once did Cecil have
insideottawavalley.com
InsideOttawaValley.com/events
to go to the corner, and by the time he scrunched down on the little stool, his knees were up to his ears, and he was sent back to his desk with orders to write out some short sentence 50 times, which was really no punishment at all. It was obvious the chair and dunce cap weren't going to work with Cecil. The only other punishment handed out by Miss Crosby for misbehaving was not being allowed to go outside at recess. It seemed to me bad Marguirite spent more time in the school at recess than she did outside. She was a thorn in everyone's side, and we were all delighted when she was made to stay indoors. The strap, to me, was the most feared method of discipline at the Northcote School. Seldom used,
and only when Miss Crosby had been provoked beyond reason, it reminded me of one of the big black water snakes we sometimes saw in the Bonnechere River. And if you were unfortunate enough to be disciplined at school, there was a very good chance you paid dearly for the deed by a parent when you got home as well!

KDH WANTS YOU TO REGISTER AS ORGAN AND TISSUE DONOR Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) and Brockville General Hospital (BGH) are asking for the community's help. Together, the hospitals are working closely with the Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) to raise awareness about the value of donor registration. According to the TGLN website, every three days someone dies in Ontario because the life-saving organ transplant they need is not available, yet less than 30 per cent of Ontarians have registered their consent to be a donor. And there are more than 1,500 people in our province waiting for organ transplants and thousands more waiting for tissue transplants. To encourage donor reg-
...going the
istration, the two hospitals have agreed to a friendly challenge: inspire the most people to register their consent to organ and tissue donation during the month of April, which is "Be A Donor Month" across Ontario. Both hospitals have set up campaign pages on TGLN's website, BeADonor.ca, to track the number of registrations received in April, and are encouraging their staff, volunteers and members of their local communities to register before the month is out. "We believe that if more people were aware of the full impact of organ and tissue donation, they would register," added Frank Vassallo, KDH's chief executive officer (CEO). "One donor can save up to eight
lives through the gift of organs, and another 75 lives can be enhanced through the gift of tissue, which includes eyes, skin, heart valves, and more." To support KDH in this challenge, please register at www.BeADonor.ca/ KemptvilleDistrictHospital. "As a hospital, we need to do our part," shared Nick Vlacholias, president and CEO at BGH. "Organ and tissue donation has the power to save lives and keep families together. It is our responsibility to help bring this awareness to the community." To support BGH in this challenge, please register at www.BeADonor.ca/ BrockvilleGeneralHospital. As part of the challenge,
the hospital that records the lesser number of new donor registrations in April will see its CEO spend the day as "Cardiac Carl," the TGLN mascot. Both CEOs were quick to agree to the contest and shared that the true win-
ners are the thousands of patients waiting for organ and tissue donation. Registering online to be a donor takes only two minutes. Potential donors just need to provide their Ontario health card number and some basic informa-
tion including their date of birth. Donors must be at least 16 years of age. Submitted by Jenny Read, communications/ patient relations officer, Kemptville District Hospital

"It would involve five communities and the amalgamation of four existing section 10 boards, plus the inclusion of one municipality that does not have any representation at this point," he explained.

Grenville to maintain its own municipally-lead board, "as opposed to risking becoming so integrated into a Grenville County PSB that we would lose our distinctiveness as a municipality and some of the particularities and challenges that a high growth community like ours faces," she said. She added that it's incumbent upon the municipality to communicate as quickly as possible upon the vested interest in keeping North Grenville's community PSB. Coun. John Barclay voiced his support in forwarding the proposal to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark. "I know from our briefing with the PSB that it was raised as a concern, and this certainly speaks to that concern," he said. "I think it should be forwarded." North Grenville's chief administrative officer, Brian Carré, provided some background on where the concern was initially raised by the PSB when the legislation was first introduced under the Liberal government. "Even at that time, a lot of our questions were not answered," he said. "The answer we got from provincial officials was that this would be spelled out in regulation." Now that the bill has been passed, Carré said the PSB has been left in the dark on their initial con-
cerns. "Our fear is to lose out on our identity with respect to our policing needs with, quite drastically, other communities within the county," he said. Carré pointed out that the amended act allows for more than one detachment board to be established within an OPP catchment area, to suggest that if the municipality wished to request a separate detachment board, there are recommendations to go that route. "I believe it's important for the municipality to take a position and articulate some language that could serve as a framework," said Peckford, "not just for our municipality - but for other municipalities certainly at the county level." The municipality's proposal recommends that certain sources provided be considered while drafting supporting regulations for section 67 of the act, and that a provision should permit municipalities to determine the size of their detachment boards, selecting between a five, seven, or nine-member board. This was recommended as a means to ensure consistency and maintain the current ratios of municipal council representatives, provincial appointees, and municipal representation from the community. The municipality's key concern is that amalgamated boards for numerous municipalities with significant variations in their populations and a diverse mix of urban and rural demographics could reflect disparities in local needs and result in a negative perception that a munici-
THE ISSUE: CHANGES TO ONTARIO'S POLICE SERVICES ACT LOCAL IMPACT: NORTH GRENVILLE COUNCIL AND POLICE SERVICES BOARD TAKE CONCERN WITH SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT THE PROVINCE HAS MADE TO THE POLICE SERVICES ACT, AS SECTION 67 CALLS FOR THE AMALGAMATION OF MUNICIPAL POLICE SERVICES BOARDS TO REPRESENT MULTIPLE MUNICIPALITIES AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. THE CONCERN IS THAT NORTH GRENVILLE WILL LOSE ITS IDENTITY AND CONTROL IN POLICING OVERSIGHT AT A LOCAL LEVEL pality is not receiving effective and efficient delivery of police services when it comes to those local needs. "This perception will be the result of situations where both larger and smaller municipalities will feel under represented," the proposal states. "The fact that OPP costs are directly connected to the population of a municipality should be considered when trying to establish representation on any board." Council voted in favour of submitting the proposal.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The legislation was initially introduced under the Liberal government and the same concerns that the North Grenville Police Services Board raised then remain unaddressed. As the amended act has already been passed and regulations are being written, council feels the urgency to communicate their concerns imminently.

BROWN R. Wayne
Passed away peacefully at the Smiths Falls Hospital on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at the age of 70. Beloved husband of Rita Brown. Loving father of Vance (Ginette), Aaron and Brandon (Heather). Cherished grandfather of Rigel, Pleiade, Carina, Ethan, Madeline, Addison, Caelan and Maeve. Wayne will be missed by his mother-in-law Francine, and siblings Jim (Joan), Jack (Ilene), Gary (Margaret), Debbie, Brian (Linda) and Aldena and by his brothers-in-law Mark (Mitzi), Ray and Scott (Diane) and sister-in-law Gina (Eric). Wayne was predeceased by his parents Lloyd and Edna and siblings Don, Joan, Wynn, Tom, Carol and Shirley. He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Funeral service in Celebration of Wayne’s life will take place at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St., Smiths Falls on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. In memory of Wayne, contributions may be made to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation https://uhkf.ca (formerly Kingston Regional Cancer Centre) would be appreciated.
Died peacefully at home after a 13-year journey with several different cancers. With family at her side and friends in her thoughts, she chose to leave this planet on Thursday April 4, 2019. Peggy leaves behind: Jeremy, her husband of almost 46 years, her son Andrew, his wife Shealah and their son Evan, her daughter Kate and her husband Murray Chidley, her sister Janet George, her brother George MacMillan, and his wife Siobhan Muldowney. Peggy is also survived by nieces and nephews who always appreciated her kindness, epitomized by gracious acts such as baking lemon meringue pie instead of ordinary banana birthday cake. Peggy was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec on November 25, 1950, where she lived until moving to the Quebec Labrador coast with Jeremy to teach and adventure in the early 1970s. After a few years they returned to the Eastern Townships of Quebec where she taught, farmed, gardened, and started a family. She was a leading light in the battle to keep local English libraries vibrant through the Parti Quebecois/referendum years of the late 70s and 80s. In the late 80s the family relocated to Brighton, Ontario and eventually settled in the Perth area, which became their long-term home. Peggy continued to teach and volunteer in the community for many years. Her family and friends can attest to her culinary talents (whether over campfire, wood stove, or gas range), her welcoming home, and her ability to win an argument (usually all in good fun or as mental exercise). Peggy referred to herself as a secular humanist, and her wit and intelligence was honed by an insatiable appetite for reading works of sci-fi, literature, non-fiction, poetry, and history. Her love of gardening and homesteading led to a market gardening business as well as volunteer work as a Certified Master Gardener. She had an enduring appreciation for nature and animals, and took great pleasure and solace in spending time near water; moonlit canoe paddles, early morning swims in calm lakes, or just sitting to watch the water and ‘come into the peace of the wild things’ (as Wendell Berry wrote). She was, in fact, a renaissance woman. The family wishes to thank all the people at the Perth hospital who were involved in Peggy’s care, including Doctors Last, Riehl, Del Grande, and Kuchinad, as well as Leslie Del Grande. Many thanks to the committed staff involved with MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) - a caring and sympathetic group providing medical expertise and comfort. Great thanks also goes to the staff and volunteers at the Perth Chemotherapy Clinic. Their care and kindness was beyond reproach. Family and friends were invited to a gathering to honour Peggy’s life held on Saturday April 6th, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. in the Blair & Son Family Centre, 15 Gore St. West, Perth. At Peggy’s request, in lieu of flowers any donations in her memory should be directed to the Great War Memorial Foundation for Palliative Care.

If flowers grow in heaven Lord, Then pick a bunch for us, Then place them in our mother’s arms, And tell her they’re from us.

School boards are bracing for the impact of the province's autism program overhaul. The changes could mean more students with autism will be heading to school sooner, which will increase the supports needed in the classroom. The Ford government has decided to shift the funding model for autism therapy to one where families receive money directly based on their child's age. The government has said this was needed to clear the list of 23,000 children waiting in line for government-funded therapy. There are children who have not yet joined the school system because they're involved in therapeutic intervention through intensive behaviour analysis. With changes to the program, some families may elect to join public schools sooner than they'd anticipated. "There's certainly going to be an impact on this board, as with all boards, but we're not exactly sure what impact that will be at this point," said John McAllister, chair of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). McAllister said he's concerned with the impact on schools, their operation and staff including teachers, educational assistants and support staff, in terms of training resources. Currently, there are about 300 students in elementary and about 120 in secondary in the UCDSB that have been diagnosed with autism. With the changes coming to the autism program to take effect April 1, these numbers are expected to increase. By how much? School boards don't yet have a clear idea. "This is new territory in that we will be experiencing ... greater numbers of students," said McAllister. "We have to manage expectations and manage our resources and we want to treat these young students to the best of our abilities and to the best of their needs." On March 11, Lisa Thompson,
THE ISSUE: FORD GOVERNMENT MAKES CHANGES TO PROVINCIAL AUTISM PROGRAM LOCAL IMPACT: AREA SCHOOL BOARDS SAY THE CHANGES MAY MEAN MORE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM WILL BE COMING TO PUBLIC SCHOOL EARLIER, REQUIRING ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS Ontario's education minister, presented a number of initiatives the government will implement to help school boards cope with an increase in the number of students on the autism spectrum attending their schools as a result of the autism program reforms. Thompson restated the government's August 2018 pledge to give school boards an average of $12,300 for each new student on the autism spectrum who enters the school system, in addition to creating an autism-specific teacher training course and expanding after-school programs. While McAllister said the government's willingness to help is a good sign, he said the $12,300 allocated per student, which is the same amount carved out is the same as is given to every other student, won't be sufficient. McAllister said the school board is already taxed financially trying to provide special education programming to students who need it. The increased number of children coming to school sooner, who are on the autism spectrum, could further exacerbate the financial strain, he said. "We're ... making a leap of faith from autistic behaviour therapy to teaching these kids in the classroom," McAllister said. "Our system is certainly already overburdened in special educa-
tion. It points for the need for a review of the funding formula in general, now more so than ever." The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) expressed that currently their board also has a number of funding constraints including transportation, something shared by the UCDSB. Donaleen Hawes, CDSBEO's superintendent of school effectiveness, added that flexibility in using funding is becoming more limited and difficult. She said the changes to the autism program will impact their board, too, when it comes to the support provisions required through the school and board for pupils diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Hawes said there isn't enough information right now to clearly identify the requirements moving forward to face the anticipated difficulties, including the provision of training, transitional support, and the necessary expertise to support the students. "Schools are struggling enough as it is to properly support children with special needs," said Chelsea Metcalfe, a Smiths Falls area mother of two school aged children with autism. "Taking away access to a vital therapy is going to prove disastrous. The effects will be felt by all Ontario families - not just families with special needs." Metcalfe said she's worried about what's going to happen in schools. "Schools are underfunded and not equipped for children on the severe end of the spectrum who have not received therapy," she said. "Intensive ABA (applied behaviour analysis) teaches children the pre-learning skills they need to successfully integrate into classrooms." Without this, Metcalfe worries that children with autism will be forced to be segregated from their peers as they will be too disruptive in the classroom and cause other children's education to suffer as well. Stephen Sliwa, the director of
education for the UCDSB, said the public school board already adds an additional $9 million to the special education programs and services that it provides. He said the reason for this is due to a change in the funding model made by the previous government in 2014, which created a gap. "The school board has taken fairly significant steps to bridge that gap with any funds that it can find at its disposal, but it's becoming less and less likely that the school board will be able to do that in the future," said Sliwa. Sliwa said though there are concerns about the amount of funding, school boards, including the CDSBEO, are taking comfort in the assurance the province has made the commitment that any child that's joining them with an ASD diagnosis after the usual count date would also be funded at that amount as other students. "It's important that we know that that funding will be forthcoming," he said. This was echoed by the CDSBEO. "We are pleased to hear that the Ministry intends to provide additional funding and are anxious to receive specific details in order to establish next steps for student accommodations," said Hawes. Sliwa said the recent commitments by the government to help students transition into the school system are steps in the right direction, there still needs to be a lot more work and investment to ensure success not just for students on the autism spectrum, but when it comes to growing and investing in special education in general.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
After the province announced changes to the autism program, Metroland Media reached out to the two area boards to see what impact these changes would have on them. This story followed a piece our newspaper wrote about families personally impacted by the autism program's overhaul.
