RMEO on track for growth EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario (RMEO) is gearing for another season. The museum's season starts this weekend, Saturday, May 19. Train rides are by donation. Proceeds will go to the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank - a new initiative for the local cultural institution.

"It's new to help the food bank," said Tony Humphrey, RMEO board president. "You know, they get in quite a crunch ... I think you just have to go in there about the third week of the month and you realize the people who are desperately in need. It's an amazing service they offer. They've got an amazing staff over there."

RMEO's season is starting off with positive thoughts for growth, enhancement of visitors' experiences and using the space creatively.

Recently, RMEO played host to Secret Dinner Canada - a unique dining experience where hungry

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Agriculture community seeking less bureaucracy, red tape ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Leeds-Grenville area farmers are hoping to see a new provincial government that will work with them and not against them.

A small crowd turned out to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 475 in Toledo on May 10 for an all-candidates meeting, hosted by the Leeds County and Grenville Federations of Agriculture. Candidates for MPP in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Is-

lands and Rideau Lakes, incumbent Progressive Conservative Steve Clark, Liberal David Henderson and NDP's Michelle Taylor were on hand to field questions from the audience. The two other candidates running in the June 7 provincial election are the Green party's Derek Morley and Libertarian Benjamin Cunningham. Moderator Eleanor Renaud, secretary/ treasurer with the Leeds County chapter, apologized for Morley and Cunningham's absence,

noting she was unable to find their contact information.

New to the political scene, Taylor is a mom of four who lives in Athens. With children in the school system, one of her goals is advocating keeping rural schools open. In 2016, Taylor was a member of the Upper Canada District School Board's school closure accommodation review panel but quit citing the process as highly flawed. She said an NDP government can change that.

"Many of the Liberal and PC governments have left their mark on rural Ontario. Funding levels have dropped, there are school closure threats, underserviced hospitals and underappreciated staff," she said, noting that another party goal is to put Hydro One back into the public's hands.

"We have a clear, fully costed plan and deliberate consideration has been given to you, the farmers, the backbone of rural Ontario," Taylor added. "I want to learn from you, about what your needs are, the barriers you face in your business and how the government in Ontario can help you prosper."

Having won re-election in 2011 and 2014, Clark said it's time there was a provincial government that cared for farmers and rural Ontario and looked at issues with a "rural lens."

The Leeds County and Grenville Federations of Agriculture held a provincial all-candidates meeting May 10 at the Toledo legion. The audience heard from three candidates vying for the Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands-Rideau Lakes MPP spot.

From left: Liberal David Henderson, NDP's Michelle Taylor and PC incumbent Steve Clark.

"I agree with the OFA. Agriculture and rural Ontario hold the key to prosperity and rural growth," he stated.

He highlighted the need for action and the elimination of red tape to allow farmers to do the jobs they need to do on their properties. "I spent a long time working with the Farmersville Abattoir and there was so much red tape that the delay could have cost the whole project," Clark explained, noting the issue surrounded water testing.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit had completed the testing but the ministry wanted it done again.

"We need to look at red tape and listen to farmers. We need a government that's responsive," he continued.

Henderson, who has taken a leave of absence from his role as

mayor of Brockville to run in the upcoming election, said that Ontario is leading the world in growth and low unemployment numbers, but the same can't be said for the rural areas of the province.

"We need services. We're an aging community, older than the provincial average," he said. " ... This province is one of the richest in the world and that equity has to be shared. It has to be across the board."

"We're coming up to a fork in the road and we have to watch what direction we take," Henderson cautioned.

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Candidates debate agricultural issues l Continued from page 2

has unveiled priorities its priorities for the 2018 provincial election in a campaign entitled, Producing Prosperity in Ontario.

The initiative focuses on key areas, including distributed economic development, economic growth, affordable housing, job creation and investment, as well as the creation of a sustainable food production system.

According to a video

shown by Jackie Pemberton, OFA's regional director of zone 11, the agriculture sector is the number one opportunity for Canada to experience economic growth and "Ontario's agri-food sector is a leading economic engine for the province."

"Many of you here today because you know the rural economy can drive economic growth throughout the province," Renaud noted.

Each candidate was of-

fered the opportunity to address what producing prosperity in Ontario means to them. Clark indicated that farmers don't just feed cities, "they create and sustain jobs not just in rural Ontario, but urban Ontario."

He said job creation and education are two of his focuses.

Henderson noted rural issues don't just pertain to the farming community.

jobs in our area and services," he said. "And most people on farms know they need secondary incomes.

Prosperity is about creating sustainable economies."

Taylor said the NDP's vision of prosperity begins with the ensuring all citizens have access to rural broadband, stopping school closures and improving health and dental care for rural residents.

"We also need to look at farmers as partners and develop a mutually beneficial plan that addresses all of this," she stated.

Other issues raised were the expected legalization of marijuana this summer, as well the federal government's decision to remove dairy as a main source of protein in Canada's Food Guide and how candidates' will influence a change of mind.

"I think we should pressure them (federal government) to leave dairy in there," noted Taylor, who was shocked to hear about the proposed change.

Clark said he had heard this debate a few weeks ago at an agricultural meeting in Roebuck.

Eleanor Renaud, secretary/treasurer with the Leeds County Federation of Agriculture, served as moderator for a provincial all-candidates meeting at the Toledo legion May 10.

"It's critical for our next government to really pressure the government not to remove dairy from the Canada Food Guide.

We need to push back," he stated.

Henderson believed it was important to rely on the opinions of experts to "get the right information and realize the importance of dairy products."

"It's a significant part

of our area," he added.

On the marijuana issue, Henderson said with companies such as Tweed in Smiths Falls, the legalization is expected to give a big boost to economic development and the provincial government needs to jump on board.

"Whether you're on one side or the other, if it's happening, we need to be on top of it," he said.

Take a road trip into the past on the McDonald's Corner Country Tour. Ankaret Dean, proprietor of the Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum, and Coral Nault, Brooke Valley, have created a map guiding visitors on a circular tour of 11 historical sites from McDonald's Corners to Watsons Corners and around Dalhousie Lake.

"I noticed that visitors to the Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum were interested in stories of bygone days," said Dean. "So I teamed up with Coral Nault to show them where to find them. Carol made a beautiful hand drawn map."

Nault illustrated each of the 11 sites with a small drawing and Dean wrote a story explaining the historical significance. There are

suggested activities for all four seasons.

The McDonald's Corners Country Tour map will be launched at the opening of the Lanark Highlands Basketry Muse-

um on May 26. It will be available online at mcdonaldscornerscountrytour.ca and as a printed brochure at local retail outlets and tourism venues.

Former MP Paul Dick remembered

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A Celebration of Life was held for former Progressive Conservative MP Paul Dick on May 11, taking place at the Britannia Yacht Club in Ottawa.

According to a statement by family, Dick, 77, died of a heart attack at home on May 2.

Dick was first elected to the House of Commons in 1972, representing the former Lanark-Renfrew-Carleton riding. Over the next 21 years, he was re-elected five times, holding various cabinet positions. Ultimately, in the redistributed riding of Lanark-Carleton, Dick was defeated in 1993 by Liberal Ian Murray. This general election saw the Progressive Conservatives reduced to two seats.

Remembered On May 4, former politician and current Children's

See our Flyer In Your CopY of todaY’S paper*

Hospital of Eastern Ontario president and chief executive officer Alex Munter posted the following on Twitter: "Sad to hear about the death of Paul Dick, Kanata's MP as I was growing up. I later worked with him and appreciated his candid, practical and accessible approach. He will be well remembered."

Progressive Conservative MPP for Nepean-Carleton Lisa MacLeod offered her condolences to Dick's family on social media, and she noted he served with "distinction" for five terms.

Dick died the same day as Leeds-Grenville, Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown, another long-serving Progressive Conservative. Brown also had a heart attack, succumbing in his Parliament Hill office.

"Eastern Ontario has lost another good one," MacLeod noted.

During a meeting of Lanark County council on May 9, Warden John Fenik called for a moment of silence to honour Dick, with chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves later commenting on the former MP's lengthy career.

"Our condolences to his family," Greaves stated.

He noted the former MP was "well regarded as an intelligent, hard working cabinet minister who loyally served the people of Lanark County from 1972 to 1993."

The Canadian flag was also flown at half-staff at the county building in Perth.

From Kapuskasing, Ont., Dick was a lawyer by profession. After attending Western University, he earned a law degree from the University of New Brunswick. Dick was called to the bar in 1969.

Wife Pierrette Cassista and sons Wyatt and Andrew Dick, along with other family survive him.

ABOUT US

Happy Royal Wedding week It’s a fairy tale of which young girls might dream.

Meeting the man of her dreams, falling in love and he not only treats her like a princess but he is a reallife prince charming!

On May 19 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be wed at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle. The pre-game show (or pre-wedding coverage) will start at 4 a.m. on most major North American broadcast networks and the wedding is set to start at 7 a.m.

Now what does this all mean for the average Canadian? Let’s not forget Canada is a constitutional monarchy and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, is Queen of Canada and Canada’s Head of State.

It is highly unlikely, as sixth in the line of succession, that Prince Harry will ever be crowned the King of England. Let’s give the job to his father who has been waiting, patiently for the job for decades, first.

Prince Harry still had to seek his Granny’s permission to get married and she was kind enough to issue the Instrument of Consent with her signature that was just released on May 13.

The role of the Crown in Canada matters, it is more than just ceremonial, it links us to the past and paves a way for our future.

The wedding ensures that the British Monarchy will live another day. The big day and the lead up to the nuptials is also sure to be a money-maker with billions of people expected to tune-in worldwide. It is also expected the wedding will be a $500 million boost to the British economy.

There will be a ripple effect felt across the pond here as well, as merchandise and souvenirs are popping up.

The Royal Canadian Mint is also cashing in on the big day having recently released a $20 silver collector coin (price tag $105) to mark the occasion with the artwork created locally by well-known Westport artist Joel Kimmel.

There will be numerous events throughout the area to mark the occasion, including the Royal Wedding Celebration hosted by the Hub Almonte. It starts at 6 a.m. at the Civitan Hall on the big day. In Perth the day will be marked with a high tea at 3 p.m. at Matheson Hall at the Perth Parkside Inn and Spa. And in Arnprior, the party will get started a day early at a Royal Wedding Tea Party at the library starting at 3:30 p.m.

All of these local events show that for many in this country, the Royal Wedding matters in Canada.

So Pip, pip cheerio, it’s time to pour some tea and get a royal fascinator ready.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Ode to the Perth dog walker Dear Editor, I don't know her name, but I sure love to watch, This gal about town; her skills are top-notch!

She has such control of these dogs in her care, To see them all walking, it's hard not to stare.

The miles they put on, in the course of a week, Make them happy and healthy and rather unique.

Their behaviour ... outstanding; it's a real joy to see, I'm wondering if ever they stop for a pee?

To synchronize THAT would take patience and skill, But I'm betting they've done it; they MUST know the drill!

She has what it takes, and my KUDOS are sent, To her and her dogs, who look so content.

As they troop all together, in their unison stride, Obeying their walker, as she walks them with pride.

She must be commended for getting it right, Providing this service shows so much insight.

There are jobs to be had if one's willing to work, Having four-legged clients is a definite perk.

Performance is doubled, with loyalty, too, And a warm wet kiss when they bid her adieu!

No complaint need be filed, as harassment, it's NOT, Sharing love and affection ... those things can't be taught.

Thanks again to our walker, we love watching you,

Reader appreciates newspaper coverage of Smiths Falls' Red Dress Project Dear Editor, I want to express my sincerest appreciation to Laurie Weir for the wonderful coverage she provided in the Record News recently concerning the Red Dress Project and my sister, Daphne Brown. (Read that story here: https:// www.insideottawavalley.com/community-story/8560510-reddress-project-near-and-dear-tosmiths-falls-woman-s-

She also came out to my house to talk with me and some friends, and took photos of us hanging red dresses in my front yard. (That story can be found here: https://www.insideottawavalley.com/community-story/8597611-smallgathering-remembersmissing-and-murdered-indigenous-women/) She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable relating my story, and wrote a heartwarming article, about which I have received many positive comments from friends and acquaintances.

OPINION

Mother would use every last drop of paint around the house, Mary Cook writes Waste, according to my sister Audrey was a word mother thought was right up there with swearing.

Nothing was wasted in our house.

Audrey said that is why the gallon of bright green paint mother bought at Scott's Hardware in Renfrew to give the pump its usual spring cleanup, would be used until there wasn't a drop left in the can.

First of course, was the pump. Then with a lot of paint left over, the privy door was next, a bright green, with the rest of the little building faded and as drab as a cow plop!

Two old kitchen chairs

MARY COOK Column on the back stoop, which were solid pine, were now bright green. Mother never was very fond of pine ... always said she thought it rhymed with poverty ... just about everything in our old log house was pine.

Father wasn't too happy about the chairs being painted green, and lamented that they had been pine for three generations, but Mother had paint to use.

There was still lots of paint left, so the summer kitchen window sills were the next to get a coat.

Mother was going to paint the frames too, but father told her that would

seal the windows until doomsday, so she settled for the sills.

You could smell paint clear out to the drive shed, and mother was splattered too ... dabs on her nose and the old white pinny she used to clean out the hen house was just about covered.

Mother thought the old swing in the grape arbour could stand a touching up.

It was made of wood, and mother tackled it like someone possessed, leaving the seats to the last.

Of course, none of us were too happy about the swing getting a coat of paint. It took ages to dry, and that meant none of us could use it, which didn't please my brothers one bit.

But mother managed to use up most of the paint, and all that was left was a little dribble in the bottom of the can. She stood in the middle of the yard, looking around her to see what she could dab up.

flyers. coupons. shopping lists.

Shop Smart

Father had backed the old Model T out of the garage ... only three of the fenders matched, and he could see mother looking at the odd one father had picked up at Thacker's Garage in Renfrew when we lost one in a ditch on the way in to town one day. Father could read mother like a book. He knew what she was thinking.

Well, before you could say "Jack Robinson" he was behind the wheel and out the gate and onto the lane and yelled, "have to get some nails at Briscoe's General Store."

We never knew if mother thought she could use up the last of the paint on the fender. But she settled for painting the two poles that held up the clothesline.

Audrey said she would bet her last dollar we were the only ones in the entire County of Renfrew with bright green clothesline poles. Emerson said he was mighty glad the privy was hidden behind a cluster of

cedar trees.

The swing never did look like the rest of the targets mother attacked with the paint brush ... the old boards soaked up the paint like a sponge, but at least it took the last bit out of the

can. Mother hadn't wasted a drop.

Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority – Our Story, 50 Years In The Making Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority is pleased to be celebrating our golden milestone this year. Since inception in 1968, it has been the MVCA mission to assume a leadership role in the conservation, enhancement and development of the Mississippi Valley by way of watershed planning, integrated resource management programs, and conservation awareness.

We have protected hundreds of metres of shoreline and thousands of homes from flooding and erosion. We have educated more than 100,000 young people about the importance of conserving our environment and preserving our heritage. We have mobilized thousands of volunteers, and partnered with thousands of organizations and individuals to implement projects aimed at creating a healthy and more sustainable community: a place where people want to live, work and invest.

The Beginning Following the formation of a conservation authority in the neighbouring Rideau watershed in 1966, the Almonte Citizens Planning and Housing Committee started inquiries regarding the advantages of a similar organization for the Mississippi area. A number of public meetings were held and a favourable vote of the municipalities concerned resulted in the establishment of the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority by Order-in-Council 1802/68 dated May 2, 1968, “with jurisdiction over the watersheds of the Mississippi River and all other streams entering the Ottawa River between the point where the north-west boundary of the Township of Fitzroy meets the shore of the Ottawa River and the point where the west boundary of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority meets the shore of the Ottawa River.” Since this time, it has been MVCA’s responsibility under the Provincial Conservation Authorities Act to protect, restore and manage our watersheds for today and tomorrow.

Why Conservation Authorities?

The Conservation Authorities Act was created (1946) in response to public concerns about the “unhealthy state” of renewable natural resources in Canada as a result of poor land, water, and forestry practices in the 1930s and 40s as well as erosion and drought concerns. It was recognized that these issues were better dealt with on a watershed basis. Conservation Authorities were created to bridge the gap between municipalities wholly or in part of the watershed boundary. This practical solution to watershed management ensures that the needs of all stakeholders are represented.

A particular milestone in Conservation Authority history was the impact of a devastating event – Hurricane Hazel in 1954. This storm mobilized the need for managing Ontario’s watersheds on a regional basis. As a result, after Hurricane Hazel the provincial government amended the Conservation Authorities Act to enable Conservation Authorities to acquire lands for recreation and conservation purposes, and to regulate that land for the safety of the community.

MVCA QUICK FACTS • Owns and/or operates three conservation areas: Mill of Kintail, Morris Island, Purdon.

• Integrated Watershed Management is the process of managing human activities and natural resources on a watershed basis, taking into account, social, economic and environmental issues, as well as community interests in order to manage water resources sustainably.

• To date, there are 23 water control structures on the Mississippi River system. MVCA owns and maintains 12 and operates six for Ontario Power Generation and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

• Is the lead agency for monitoring potential local flood threats,

alerting emergency response agencies and the public. MVCA work closely with hydroelectric producers, all levels of government, First Nations groups and others to provide coordinated operations of the river system.

• Regulates development within the floodplain and other environmental hazards to reduce risk to human life and property caused by inappropriate development practices.

• Assists municipalities in assessing the impact of land use decisions and development on the long-term health of the watershed and residents.

• MVCA monitors 66 lakes on a five year cycle and sample for total phosphorus and cholorphyll a, water clarity, invasive species and fish species.

• Reliable information is collected to document current water quality conditions. The information is used to encourage sound stewardship practices to help preserve and protect water quality.

LAWS appreciates business help for cats

LAWS would like to thank Frank Sammut of Kokopelli Custom Woodworking for donating his time to build and install beautiful window ledges for the cats to sit and look out and lounge in the sun.

Thank you also to Luke of Perth Planing Mill for discounting the price of the lumber, and to John of Country Flooring for donating carpet remnants used to cover the ledges.

The cats love them.

The shelter will be closed on Monday, May 21, for Victoria Day. Featured pets Meet beautiful Mabel a female, about three years old, boxer-mix. She is a strong, energetic dog who loves to be around humans.

Mabel knows some basic commands like sit, stay, and shake a paw. Mabel would be best with no small children and no other dogs.

Mabel appears to be house broken as her kennel is clean in the mornings.

Please call the shelter to

tle so a home with more mature people with or without older children (eight or nine years and up) would be great. Lately I am more daring and make the effort to greet potential adopters. I really hope I'll be adopted soon. Why not come and say hello to me, I am worth the trip to LAWS. I like being around other cats, too, so that's not an issue if you have a few around already.

Please meet handsome Hudson. He's a friendly grey/white cat with a black beauty mark on his nose. Hudson is one of our latest arrivals with no history booklet in his pocket. We think he's pretty laid back, friendly and happy to be around people.

Please meet this young lad, who is about one and a half year old, at LAWS. Meet Lexus who was hiding under a blanket the first weeks after her arrival at LAWS. Suddenly she started to peek to see what was going on around her. Since the beginning of May Lexus enjoys back scratches and has no more flat ears when you approach her.

This improved behaviour happened with the dedicated help of volunteers who like to socialize cats. Lexus won't sit on your lap yet, but if you're willing and have time and patience Lexus will be a worthy girl to offer a home to.

Discover the wonder of warblers May 26 in Pakenham On Saturday, May 26, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust is providing an opportunity to Discover the Wonder of Warblers.

Bring binoculars, and be ready to crane your neck, and cup your ears.

The diminutive warblers are on their way back to, and through, High Lonesome Nature Reserve, to breed in its forests (these are wood warblers, after all) or to feed before carrying on to the far north, and west.

Most of the 25-30 species that visit or stay at High Lonesome, weigh between eight and 20 grams. Tiny little insect eating energy

balls, the warblers make the long trek back from South and Central America to breed. Their spring colours are vibrant as are their warbles.

Be ready to wonder at these feathery world travellers, and learn a little about how High Lonesome provides a welcome refuge for so many.

You'll spend two hours wandering the trails of this gem of a nature preserve, observing the High Lonesome warblers, and other avian visitors.

Led by ecologist and nature enthusiast Art Goldsmith, who travels the continent following warblers and other creatures, our

trek will reveal a few of their needle-billed secrets.

High Lonesome Nature Reserve is one of six properties conserved by the land trust. More than 2,500 acres of ecological significant land in eastern Ontario have now been protected by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

This event kicks off at 10 a.m. sharp on May 26. Admission is $10.

Participation is limited to provide an optimum experience, so advance registration is required.

Please visit mmlt.ca/ event/discover-the-won-

der-of-warblers to get your ticket now because they are likely to go fast. Waterproof footwear is recommended because the ground can still be quite wet this time of year.

High Lonesome is located at 867 Carbine Rd. in Pakenham. Take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village, turn on Waba Road and continue west for 2.9 kilometres.

Turn left on Barr Side Road and travel for 1.6 kilometres. Take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 kilometres to 867 Carbine Rd. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust

Jeff Maguire writes about a successful bid for Victoria Cross medal JEFF MAGUIRE jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com

JEFF MAGUIRE Column

On May 2 I was thrilled to read a daily newspaper story about a successful bid by a group of Canadians to buy one of the most important Victoria Crosses (VC) in our country's military history. The purchase means the medal will remain in this country and it's on display at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa all this month.

The VC is the British Commonwealth's highest award for military valour.

This particular medal was awarded to Lt.-Col. David Vivian Currie, a native of Sutherland, Saskatchewan for his role during the final phase of what was known as the 'Battle of Falaise Gap' in Normandy, France in August 1944. Currie's medal was the only VC

awarded to a Canadian during the pivotal Normandy campaign of the Second World War and the only one ever presented to a member of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps.

Last September a foreign collector conditionally purchased Currie's VC during a private auction in London, England for $660,000. However, because the medal is considered to be "of outstanding cultural significance and national importance" Canadians were given a six-month period of grace to top the foreign buyer's offer.

Enter the national war museum! Staff put together a joint bid which was higher than last year's purchase price.

In 1989 Currie's widow Isabel sold his medals to a Canadian collector who held them until last summer when he decided to sell them at auction. The war museum entered the bidding but fell short at that time.

Isabel Currie, now 105, lives in an Ottawa nursing home. Following the war her husband worked in the pulp and paper industry.

But in 1959 then Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who represented Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in Parliament, appointed Currie as Sergeant-atArms of the House of Commons. He held the post until 1978. Currie died in 1986 at age 73 and is buried in Owen Sound, Ontario.

This story holds particular significance for me.

Because in a rarity, images of Currie winning the Victoria Cross were captured on film (both still photos and film footage) by members of the Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit (CFPU). The man holding the cine (motion picture) camera on Aug. 19, 1944 was a personal friend of mine, the late Jack Stollery from St. Thomas, Ontario.

The then Sgt. Stollery and his fellow members of the CFPU went into battle carrying cameras, not guns.

They documented actions of the Canadian Army across Europe during WW II. It was incredibly dangerous work and Jack won the Military Medal for the fearlessness

he showed while taking photos of Canadian soldiers in action at Ortona, Italy on Dec. 21, 1943.

Near the end of his life Jack was appointed Deputy Sheriff of Elgin County.

On Aug. 27, 1974 he died of a massive heart attack. He was just 57.

Jack Stollery and the other members of the CFPU put their lives on the line throughout the Second World War documenting the important contribution made by Canadian troops in helping win the war in Europe. In my opinion they too are true Canadian heroes!

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, soon you will be able to clarify your thinking and articulate your needs to others. Until then, you need to wait for an opportunity to share your point of view.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Distant lands may be calling you, Leo. So be sure your passport is in order and set up those discount fare alerts to your email. It’s time to get away for some R&R.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Devote more time to self-care right now, Sagittarius. You may need some time to yourself to recharge.

When you are done, you can once again be a person of action.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you have been struggling with a challenging situation, you’ll get some much-needed support this week. Use the break to treat yourself to something special.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, be careful what you wish for, as you may just get everything you desire. It’s uncertain how things may turn out, so be ready to make changes as needed.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be feeling a little wild this week or ready to just hang around in your pajamas and relax.

Either way works as long as you’re happy doing it.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Some epic action may be on tap for you this week, Gemini. You may have to slow things down if everything is moving too quickly. A lively group of people will join you.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Is love in the air, Libra? If you are feeling more amorous than usual, you may be ready for a new relationship or ready to add some spice to your current one.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Your powers of persuasion are dialed up, Aquarius. You can convince others of just about anything you want them to do right now. Use this skill wisely.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a surge of energy may have you working overtime to complete a task. Just come up for a breather once in a while. Such respites can prove rejuvenating.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Health, wisdom and wealth could be in your sights, Scorpio. Why not throw in being well-liked as well?

This is your time to soar. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a love of fine things could find you in financial peril if you are not careful with spending. Set limits on how much you treat yourself.

Firefighters battle a house fire in Smiths Falls on Monday, May 14.

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

HWY

Heavy black smoke poured out the door and flames shot out from the attic at 95 Main St. E. in Smiths Falls, as firefighters worked to control the house fire on Monday, May 14.

No one was in the home when the fire broke out, reported Randy Normandin, Smiths Falls Fire Department's acting fire chief, as firefighters were clearing the scene nearly four hours after the fire originally broke out. Though there weren't any humans in need of rescue, there was one animal. Newly promoted Smiths Falls firefighter Lt. Andrew Fleming rescued a dog from the blaze - a small Jack Russell named Taz.Normandin reported that the fire originated on the back deck and spread into the home, which contained apartment units.

However, the exact cause of the fire has yet to be determined through a formal investigation.Dean Edwards, who lived in the top-level apartment, said and he and his family left the unit not long before the fire broke out.

Lucky Mother's Day shoppers get free groceries at Smiths Falls’ store

The Smiths Fall Record News | Thursday, May 17, 2018 |

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Right place, right time for free groceries.

The place was Andress' Independent grocery store in Smiths Falls, and the time was Mother's Day at 12:30 p.m.

At the appointed moment, the Smiths Falls

Gordon Pipe Band struck up at the back of the store, and marched through the aisles up to the front cash registers, where they were met by store co-owners Dan and Wanita Andress. "(We) want to thank you for your loyalty and making our store an important part of your com-

munity," said Dan. "Smiths Falls gives back like no other small town community.

Wherever there is a need, Smiths Falls is there to help. Wanita and I appreciate your caring and patronage."

The "Market Moment" saw that everyone standing on the right side of the yellow caution tape,

standing in line for the cash at that moment, was selected to get all of their groceries for free, up to an amount of $250. Shoppers also received a bag of free products.

The announcement was met with a burst of confetti. "(It was) 20 minutes of bedlam, but it was good,"

said a breathless Dan afterwards.

"That was exciting," agreed Wanita.

Similar "Market Moment" events were happening across Canada, and the Smiths Falls' store was one of the stores selected to take part. He estimated that about 25 customers received free gro-

ceries that day.

One of Wanita's customers told her that her mother loved the event, and that she saw people in tears. She even received a hug from a customer. As for the pipe band, Dan reached out to the pipe band because "I thought it'd be cool. It gives you shivers."

Victim of fatal Smiths Falls fire identifed

EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com Doug Buffam, 53, has been identified as the victim of the fatal fire in Smiths Falls by the Office of the Fire Marshal.

Buffam was pronounced dead after being transported to hospital following the early morning apartment fire on Victoria Avenue in Smiths Falls on Monday, May 7. His autopsy, completed at the Ottawa Hospital, determined Buffam died from smoke inhalation and burns, reported Jason Williams, lead investigator from the Office of the Fire Marshal.

The Town of Smiths Falls revealed in a press release on Tuesday, May 8, that the cause of the fatal fire on Victoria Avenue, was determined to be “accidental due to careless smoking.”

Williams said that it appears Buffam had been smoking when he fell asleep.

The investigator said it ap-

pears that Buffam awoke to find his mattress burning and tried to extinguish it.

When those attempts failed, it appears that Buffam tried to get the mattress out of the apartment but in his attempt found himself trapped as the fire continued to develop in the apartment, Williams said.

The findings come as a result of a two-day investigation by the Smiths Falls Fire Department, Smiths Falls Police Service, and the Office of the Fire Marshal.

The scene has now been released.

This property housed six apartments, where Buffam died. The fire was contained to the third-floor unit.

All other residents were accounted for and have been temporarily housed. Lanark County Victim Services and Red Cross are assisting the displaced tenants.

Matt Norris was sleeping next door when the fire broke out, but quickly jumped into action to help

A Smiths Falls police cruiser is parked at the scene of an early morning fire that broke out on Victoria Avenue in Smiths Falls on Monday, May 7. The fire left one person dead. An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing. out his neighbours when he realized what was going on.

Norris said he called emergency services, but before they arrived he was able to help get most people out of their apartments.

Matt Norris sits on his front stoop next door to the

Victoria Avenue apartment where one person died following an early morning fire in Smiths Falls on Monday, May 7. — Evelyn Harford/Metroland Norris said he tried to help Buffam but a mattress was blocking his way.

“It was red-hot,” he said.

“It was partially burning, and I couldn’t get through.”

Norris said if he could have gotten to the person he could have tried CPR — but it might have been one of those instances where no matter what you try, it

might not have made a difference.

“At least we got everyone else out,” he said.

Norris said he’ll miss his neighbour, someone he was also distantly related to.

“It’s going to suck not to be able to talk to him,” he said. “I know his family is devastated.”

Norris also commended all the emergency services for their efforts, speaking of their compassion and professionalism hours after the fire.

The Office of the Fire Marshal reported that a high percentage of fatal fires in Ontario are caused by careless smoking.

“Too often people fall asleep while smoking,” said Williams. “It’s the No. 1 thing, don’t smoke where you sleep.”

The office recommended if people are going smoke indoors to extinguish it completely in a non-combustible container away from where you sleep.

SFDCI students raise awareness about FOXG1 syndrome Only about 300 people worldwide are known to have FOXG1 EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com Meet Eila Van Wingerden - she's one tough and extraordinary 14-year-old from Port Elmsley. Eila, a student at Perth & District Collegiate Institute, was diagnosed with FOXG1 syndrome - a condition caused by a very rare genetic mutation, which impacts brain development and function.

Only about 300 people worldwide are known to have FOXG1 syndrome. Eila is only one of four in Ontario who have FOXG1, and only one of 16 in Canada.

These extraordinary odds are exactly why students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute

(SFDCI) are working raising awareness about this exceeding rare syndrome.

Each semester, SFDCI teacher Breanna Bedor rallies her Grade 12 collegelevel English class to raise awareness for medically fragile children through Project KITES, which features "Kids in Tough and Extraordinary Circumstances."

Pictured here, the Project KITES team from Breanna Bedor's Grade 12 college-level English class who are raising awareness about FOXG1 syndrome. Evelyn Harford/Metroland This semester, the focus is on FOXG1 - a condition Eila was finally diagnosed with 10 years after her birth.

"Getting that diagnosis was overwhelmingly joyful," said Eila's mom, Angie Van Wingerden. "There wasn't this unknown anymore."

smiles at six weeks, difficulty with feeding, and had what appeared to be severe colic, which was later discovered to be neurological distress, crossed eyes, holding her breath when she was taken outdoors, she didn't track objects, didn't reach for objects, had closed tight fists, was floppy, and she cried a lot.

Eila was referred to McMaster University Children's Hospital in Hamilton, where she received a battery of tests to try and figure out what was going on. She was tested for Rett Syndrome four times, but the tests came back negative. Eventually, it was determined that Eila had many "global developmental delays" of an unknown cause, microcephaly and cortical visual impairment.

When Eila, her twin brothers, and her mom and dad, moved from Guelph to Port Elmsley, to be closer to their families, her medical team transferred her to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) - the hospital Project KITES raises money for each semester.

Eila's condition continued to be a mystery until 2014, when she and her family were told that she had FOXG1, a condition only discovered in 2008 - five years after Eila's birth.

FOXG1 is a severe neu-

rological condition characterized by seizures, inability to control body movements, and lack of speech.

However, depending on the exact genetic mutation ability levels vary widely.

Many children with FOXG1 can't walk or talk.

Eila is nonverbal and suffers from reflux, as well as gastrointestinal issues and sleep apnea.

Most cases of FOXG1 are noninherited and have no family history. Eila has twin siblings, who were both born without any genetic abnormalities.

Angie said there's been a lot of ups and downs during their journey.

"You learn to adjust and adapt to struggle. I think that makes us all better humans," she said. "I love being Eila's mom."

Angie said that the SFDCI students involved with Project KITES got to meet Eila - a great experience for the other teenagers who may have never been exposed to someone like her daughter. This type of interaction, which fosters understanding and compassion for others, was a big factor in why the family jumped on board to be part of Project KITES. "She (Eila) really loved her visit," she said. "She loved that - being engaged with the other kids her age."

"She was so cute," said ZoĂŤ Burns, on of the SFDCI students involved with Project KITES. Burns' own aunt has Rett Syndrome and could relate to Eila and her family's situation.

"They seemed similar in the way that they behaved."

Meeting the person who the class is advocating for, made it all the more personal for students. And word about the creative class, inspirational class is getting around.

Grade 12 student Mariah Stanzel said she saw the Project KITES show last year and it inspired her to get involved.

Stanzel's own six-yearold cousin, who is nonverbal and needs a wheelchair, has Miller-Dieker syndrome.

"I have a soft spot for kids with special needs,"

she said.

As part of the students' advocacy work, they're also raising money for CHEO and will be hosting their biannual Project KITES Awareness Show in June.

The show will have a "By the Ocean" theme, which is connected with a photo shoot being done by Chantale Irene Photography, where Eila was posed as a mermaid because she doesn't have use of her legs.

And, in true beach fashion, there will be mocktails available thanks to Union Street Bar and Grill.

The students are also making a handmade quilt for Eila, which will be presented to her at the KITES show next month.

Grade 12 student Julie Mai works on a sewing a quilt for Project KITES. The quilt will be given to Eila Van Wingerden, who has FOXG1 Syndrome. - Evelyn Harford/Metroland The Project KITES Awareness Show will be hosted at SFDCI on Tuesday, June 5, from 6-8 p.m.

Tickets for the show, which features a silent and live auction, are $5 and are being sold at Gemmell's Flowers, the CIBC office, and SFDCI. All proceeds from the show will go to CHEO. So far, over $4300 has been raised for CHEO's Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The goal is to fund all necessary updates to the PICU's "Quiet Room" - a room is where families go to receive difficult news about their sick children.

Project KITES reports that the space has been outdated for quite some time and is hoping to fund new lighting, new paint, new furniture and new decor. The estimated cost of all updates is $8,000.

A Summer Solstice Dinner is being held on June 21 in Perth to raise money for the FOXG1 Foundation.

The event kicks off at 6 p.m. and features a multiple course meal with wine parings and live music by John Van Wingerden and Landon Bedor. Tickets are limited and are $75 per person.

Council agreed at their com-

Town staff reached out to the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit following direction from council, who originally discussed the possibility of allowing backyard chickens in Smiths Falls, after receiving a request from a resident interested to rearing backyard chickens last month, which would require an

amendment to the animal control bylaw.

In a report presented to council, the health unit highlighted that there may be some neighbourhoods or properties that might not be suitable for backyard chickens due to their close proximity to neighbours. The health unit pointed out that backyard chickens could be a nui-

sance, citing issues with noise, odour, and flies. Concerns were also raised about potential runoff from hen droppings if located on a property is located near the waterfront, which could cause contamination of the surface water.

Suggestions included limiting the number of chickens allowed and barring the sale of eggs.

Staff also sought information from the town's contracted animal control enforcement officer about how allowing backyard chickens might impact animal control budgets, and what would happen if the chickens became a nuisance or were being held in an unsafe environment. According to the report presented at council, there are no shelters that take livestock in the area.

Nadine Bennett, the town's deputy clerk, said the town could bring chickens to a local farmer if they needed to be removed from an unsafe environment, but that could cause issues if the chicken's owners try to reclaim them.

Bennett even highlighted an instance in another municipality where a chicken got lose and had to be chased down the street.

Bennett reported that costs for enforcement, including inspections and issuing permits, associated with introducing backyard chickens in the Town of Smiths Falls, would increase costs for the town.

Mayor Shawn Pankow said he had no doubt the applicant looking to raise backyard chickens, which prompted the debate, would be a responsible chicken owner, but that he did support staff's recommendation to not allow backyard chickens in town.

Railway museum opens this weekend

7 | The Smiths Fall Record News | Thursday, May 17, 2018

l Continued from page 1

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

Tony Humphrey, president of the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario's board, stands on the museum's platform awaiting visitors from far and wide ahead of the 2018 season. as usual.

Humphrey, who was instrumental in bringing the train rides to the museum, was hoping they would get 60 people for rides on the first weekend they were offered.

"We had 144 the first day and 400 the next," said Humphrey. "The second day we did it was cold and pouring rain, but there were people lined up from one end of the platform to ride on the engine. You see those eyes when I open the throttle and it starts to move, it's amazing. People drive from Kingston and Toronto to spend half an hour on the track."

Humphrey and Purdon Bell

agree that they need to do more of what people like and keep thinking of creative ways to engage visitors like the "Escape the Boxcar" escape room, which will again be offered this year likely in the fall.

Since 2012, attendance numbers at the museum have increased by 83 per cent, according to RMEO's 2017 summary report.

In 2017, the museum boasted record attendance with 8,495 people coming through REMO's doors.

Revenues last year were over $15,000.

Humphrey said they hope to keep the trend moving in the upward direction.

"We need to grow," he said.

The growth must continue amid some administrative and organizational changes at the museum.

Anne Shropshire, RMEO's curator and executive director, left her posting with the museum this spring for another job with Ontario Heritage Trust as a co-ordinator for eastern Ontario museums.

Art Manhire, the Town of Smiths Falls' director of community services, said he's been co-ordinating discussion with members from the town's three museums to look at opportunities to find better

ways to get people involved in the services the town has to offer.

In the transition from Shropshire's absence, Manhire said the town has offered to share staffing resources to enhance services while the community discusses the best way to deliver and capitalize on our provision of cultural services.

Purdon Bell said the integration between the Heritage House Museum "makes sense."

Opening day for the RMEO, located at 90 William St. W., will be on Saturday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

As another year of Pitch-In Canada Week ends, a huge THANK YOU goes out to the many volunteers who help make Rideau Lakes a beautiful place to live.

loved it, they just loved it. It would open up the advertising for weddings."

Making RMEO more visible through marketing initiatives, is part of the plan moving forward.

As the museum picks up steam, those who work at RMEO hope to play host to more weddings and unique experiences that people are becoming more interested in.

Leisa Purdon Bell, who now works at both Heritage House and RMEO, said there are seven summer students coming aboard this season, who will help out with the increasingly popular visitor experience: Overnights on a Caboose.

RMEO has two cabooses: the Yellow Caboose and the Red Caboose. The Yellow Caboose, which has been at the museum since it's retirement in 1990, was a Canadian Pacific plywood caboose built in Montreal in 1945. It was produced during the Second World War rationing period and operated in Smiths Falls. The Red Caboose, also a Canadian Pacific caboose, built in the same series as the Yellow Caboose, is made with plywood siding as a result of it's the rationing period during the Second World War too.

"We're getting calls or emails every single day to stay over for that experience," said Purdon Bell.

"It's a really good experience.

Where else can you go and sleep in a train car and have that true railroaders experience?"

Purdon Bell said the marketing for the overnight stays started to ramp up last year and the museum is seeing the result of that this season.

"We're on the right track," said Humphrey. "The experience needs to be pushed to the next step."

Purdon Bell explained that museum goers look for experiences, not just static exhibits.

In keeping with experiential expansion, Humphrey said that the museum is currently trying to add a coach, an Illinois central car to the caboose experience.

"It's painted bright yellow," said Humphrey. "It has turn of a century style of kitchen so we could actually service meals and then (offer) overnight in the caboose."

"Could you imagine?' said Purdon Bell. "A new B&B." And, Humphrey said, the museum hopes to reinvigorate the Craft Beer Festival of Eastern Ontario, which was last held at RMEO in 2015.

The new experiences will build on the tried and true ones. The classic train rides, which have gained in popularity, will continue

COPA For Kids takes place from 9 to 11 a.m.

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com I can fly!

Sure, I’ve been in a plane before — eight hours to England, three to Cuba, four to Vancouver — not that big of a deal, except for the seatbelt extender; that’s kind of embarrassing.

I never fancied myself in a little Cessna though.

That would be really scary, considering my fear of heights. It’s not the height thing though, I recently figured out. It’s the fear of falling, breaking a leg, arm or neck that has my stomach doing flips at the thought of even stepping on a ladder.

Not to mention that there wouldn’t be room for the pilot, much less my rotund self.

I covered an event at the Montague airport a few years ago. It was a fly-in breakfast. There were lots of small planes skirting about on the runway, in the parking area, and flying overhead. Chatting up with some of the pilots, they all said the same thing to me; you’re too fat to get into these plans, honey.

One, don’t call me honey, and two ... well, don’t get me started.

Earlier this month I received a phone call from

Brian Douglas, a flight instructor at the Smiths Falls Flying Club. He was telling me of a cool event for kids coming up on June 16 from 9 to 11 a.m., called COPA for Kids. COPA — the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association — is hosting free airplane rides for youth aged eight to 17 years.

It takes place at the Russ Beach Smiths Falls/Montague Airport. Flights are between 15 and 20 minutes, and participants will receive a logbook and signed certificate of their experience.

“It’s a great way to get

kids interested in flying,” Brian said. “Since it’s COPA Flight #100, we are capping it at 100 kids this year.

Two years ago, we had 43 take part, but I’ve already got a lot of emails about this year’s event.”

Parents are asked to email Brian at brian_douglas@hotmail.com or call 613-979-1826 if interested in a flight for their kids.

So what can one expect on a flight? Well ... let me tell you.

“I’d love to go up,” I said.

“But I’m a rotund woman.”

I hesitated, expecting the same ol’ same ol’.

“Can you fit in a car?”

he asked.

I chucked a little. “Yes of course!”

“Then there is no problem, at all,” he said.

Brian offered to take me on a flight so I could experience what they will be offering on June 16. There will be 15 planes and their pilots in attendance, offering flights for three kids at a time; one up front with the pilot, and two in the back.

I met him at the airport on May 11, and got a quick rundown of the facilities.

There is a museum on site, as well as a simulator where prospective pilots can get a taste for the action.

He handed me a headset, I signed a release, and we hit the tarmac.

I was a little nervous, I’m not going to lie. Heck, who am I kidding? I was terrified! But I was grabbing my fear by the horns, and I wasn’t going to let a little nervous gut come between me and an experience of a lifetime.

We circled around the aircraft, checking to ensure everything was in proper working order.

This, he said, he would do with the kids before taking off, so they could understand that safety is paramount. If the slightest thing was out of whack the plane would be grounded.

Brian helped me into the pilot’s seat. He buckled

And guess what ... I fit! No extenders needed. I breathed my first sigh of relief, and blinked back the tears. If I was 50 pounds heavier, like I was last year, it would have been a different story.

Another round of checks from the inside of the aircraft, and we were almost ready for takeoff.

My excitement level (or it could have been panic) was through the roof. My palms were sweaty, and I was unable to take notes.

My head was on a swivel, and I was white knuckling my phone.

Once Brian got us onto the runway, we sped up to about 80 km/h before the wheels left the ground. My stomach flipped and pitched a little as we hit a bit of turbulence, but after takeoff, it felt like we were floating. We enjoyed a clear flight to Rideau Ferry, and I snapped some

photos of Smiths Falls as we flew over the Rideau Canal.

A view of Rideau Ferry, the turn-around spot. — Laurie Weir/Metroland A gentle turn to the left and we were headed back to the airport before no time.

The landing was more fun than the takeoff — we were on the ground, and I was thankful for an uneventful, but very eventful, flight of a lifetime.

The COPA for Kids event is a great way to introduce your child to flying, and who knows, they may take that experience to new heights and sign up for classes at the Smiths Falls Flying Club.

Hershey plant expansion in the works

EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com The old Hershey plant in Smiths Falls is full again - and, in fact, is expanding.

When Hershey left town 10 years ago, the vacant factory at 1 Hershey Dr. remained empty for years - a scar reminding residents of better times.

But hope was on the horizon for the large industrial facility when Tweed leased the building five years ago.

But, even then, no one was sure whether or not the cannabis company would be able to fill the mammoth footprint that Hershey had occupied when Smiths Falls was Ontario's chocolate capital.

Fast forward to 2018, and Tweed, and its parent company Canopy Growth Corporation, is the biggest cannabis company in the country. At its peak, the company was bringing on board 60 people per week. And,

the hiring continues.

The parking lot is packed and the company needs more production space leading up to the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, expected this summer.

Tweed Inc. has applied for a site plan control agreement with the town to construct a 126,637 square foot addition to the facility, reported Gary Smith, the town's acting senior planner, at council's committee of the whole meeting on Monday, May 14.

Smith said that the company has proposed the redevelopment of the northwest portion of the original building replacing it with a 31,366 square foot addition, plus adding the 126,637 square foot addition to the southwest of the original building for manufacturing. The total building area on site will be expanded to approximately 560,412 square feet.

Smith reported that the

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

Construction happening at Tweed in Smiths Falls on Monday, April 23. total footprint of the original factory measuring 433,775 square foot, including one large building and two small buildings are being used.

"This is exciting news," said Coun. Chris Cummings. "I never thought we'd see that factory full."

Cummings said that when the building became vacant after Hershey left in 2008, there was talk that an industrial building of that size would never be able to be used, or full, again.

Cummings said that at one time, Hershey wanted to demolish the building.

But now, he said, the town is faced with two large additions.

"It's just tremendous for the community," said Cummings.

Coun. Dawn Quinn, who also remembered the tough times following Hershey's departure, said she sees

good things to come.

"Now, it's all behind us and we're moving forward," she said.

The proposed site plan will also include an additional 189 parking spots, raising the total onsite parking capacity to 813 parking spaces.

"That also means there's 189 more jobs," said Coun.

John Maloney.

The company is also proposing a "comprehensive landscaping plan" that Smiths said will provide an enhanced streetscape, including the addition of trees and shrubs and beautification of the parking spaces located along Hershey Drive and Lorne Street.

"Staff is confident that the design presented will be an asset to the town," said Smith.

Council supported the site plan agreement at committee and will be officially approved at council next week.

Portland Food Bank receives donation from Lombardy Gun Show LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Dave Jones has been hosting gun shows in eastern Ontario and beyond for a number of years.

In March, he held his second one in Lombardy, with plans to come back in the fall - just prior to deer hunting season.

"It will be a busy one," he said on May 9, during a cheque presentation to Cheryl Stoddard, manager of the Portland Food Bank.

Stoddard received a cheque for $268; an amount she said would pay for a month of good food boxes which are full of fresh fruits and vegetables.

"We really appreciate the support," she said.

The proceeds came from the sale of 50/50 tickets, as there were about 2,000 people to come through the doors of the Lombardy Agricultural Society Hall in the spring.

"It was a great show; lots to see and experience."

Jones is encouraging people who may have antique guns or ammunition to bring it to the fall show for an appraisal, or "if you're looking to downsize," he said. "There are lots of vendors who would have a look and give you a price."

Twilight golf news

After a week’s delay due to poor weather, the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight returned in all its splendour to the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club.

Our front table of retirees didn’t miss a beat after another long winter, having the night running like a fine Swiss watch. To be fair, not all of the Twilight committee are pensioners. Kenny still works, keeping our course in immaculate shape. Oh, and Drummy works in insurance and Brussy for the government, so technically they’re only semi-retired. But one thing’s clear: they all do a fine job.

Rob Roy’s Pub sponsored the night’s festivities, offering up a huge prize table. To lessen the consequences of some early season swing issues, the format was scramble, with the pink ball option

for those players with masochistic tendencies.

The Strickland group, with Gerry Simmons in tow, picked up where they left off last year, posting the low score on the front nine. Bob Mulrooney, Jim Garvin and Raphael Shew were also dialed in, claiming victory on the back side.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to Ron Bernicky and Mark Brus for their respective tee shots on holes 8 and 14.

The Valley Butcher gift certificate went to Colin Brown for hitting it tight on hole 16. And against all odds, Reggie Hull hit it close on hole 3 to win the inaugural Milano’s Pizza prize.

Curtis Kerfoot and Marc Rotundo took home the Burns Jewellers gift certificates for the best approach shots on holes 6 and 10. And the big hitters

were back, with Evan Jefferys and Mike Donovan launching the Town and Country Chrysler longest drives on holes 9 and 17.

The fabulous test of skill was performed by Gerry Simmons and Mike Murphy.

They both guessed Rocky’s age. Holy Methuselah!

Finally, this week’s Rocky’s Road Rash ball will be teed up by Bill Dixon. He’ll try for a hole in one to win the $15,000 Hunt and Dopson prize at the Closing. Good luck.

This week’s Obsessed With Golf trivia question: Which international player wore a cowboy hat during competition?

A. Richard Green B. Bob Estes C. Mark Brooks D. Shingo Katayama See next week’s article for the answer.

Today recalls a memory, Of our “Mom/Nan” laid to rest, We are sad here without you, But we all have done our best.

Your voice, your music, your memories you left us, We cherish each day of our lives, May God bless and keep you, Forever eternal rest.

Missing you and all our love, Diane, Elwin and families

In loving memory of Owen Pepper, loving husband and father and grandfather and great grandfather 1938-2016.

We watched you suffer, We heard you sigh, But all we could do Was just stand by.

When the time came, We suffered too, For you never deserved What you went through.

God took your hand, And we had to part, Eased your pain, But broke our hearts, You left beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide And although we can’t see you, You are always by our side.

Sadly missed and always loved Wife Carole, Susan, Oune, Ace, Fred and families

Mom and (Great) Grandma, a year has passed since you left us, but we hold your memory in our hearts and minds each and every day. Our Mom is a never-ending song in our hearts of comfort, happiness and being. We may sometimes forget the words but we always remember the tune.

Children and their Mother never truly part, being bound in the beating of our hearts. To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.

Until we meet again.

Love Forever, Pam, Terry, Blake, Heather, Joe, Crystal, Herb, Corry, Jilian, Will, Talia
