Second draft budget contains seven per cent tax increase Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The second draft budget 2015, presented to the Committee of the Whole on Jan. 13, contains a tax increase of seven per cent.

The second draft, dated Jan. 9, was submitted to council for consideration. Total adjustments, from the operational side of the budget, were $26,845 from the first draft budget.

“This afternoon, the treasurer distributed to council the second draft budget of 2015.

Brian Carré, North Grenville CAO, said the second draft stems from the draft budget presented to council on December 15, 2014.

“Before you today is a balanced budget,” said Carré.

Carré said that there is a seven per cent tax rate increase in the second draft budget of 2015.

“This means that for every $100,000 of assessed value of a home, taxpayers will see an increase of $36.31,” said Carré.

Carré said the average price of a home in North Grenville is approximately $317,000, which would mean an increase of roughly $115.10 on a home own-

er’s annual municipal tax bill, if there were no changes to the budget moving forward.

A breakdown of the seven per cent increase was provided verbally by Carré, including two per cent to cover infrastructure deficit, 0.5 per cent to cover the increased contribution to the Kemptville District Hospital, 2.5 per cent to cover the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund cuts and two per cent to cover inflation.

Possible cuts A list of suggestions, made by members of council, was passed out regarding possible cuts from the budget, which could then reduce the tax increase.

The first suggestion was to remove the cost of retaining a consultant to conduct the five-year pay grid analysis, at a savings of $20,000 to the municipality in 2015.

Second was to freeze wages at current levels for 2015, a zero per cent wage increase for all employees as well as members of council. This cut would represent an $83,000 savings to the municipality in 2015. “I am against this,” said David Gordon, North Grenville Mayor and Warden of

Leeds and Grenville. “It could cause major problems. It’s a slippery slope. If this occurs, we could see a union formed sooner or later. We can’t carry the budget on the backs of our employees.”

The third suggestion was to freeze hiring for any position that has not been advertised for a minimum of six months. This suggestion was most relevant to the creation of a Deputy Fire Chief position within the North Grenville Fire Service, which would be delayed for six months, at a savings of $20,000 to the municipality in 2015.

“This is also a slippery slope,” said Gordon. “I can’t agree with this. Certain positions have to be filled for the sake of the municipality. The Fire Chief (Paul Hutt) is already putting in an extra 100 hours every month. I am concerned by the amount of time he puts in.”

Hutt said that the extra 100 hours per month he puts in is just to keep the day-to-day operations going and doesn’t even begin to touch the additional administrative work that needs to be addressed.

KDH set to unveil new nursing station Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The Kemptville District Hospital will be completing a new integrated nursing station this week.

The nursing station, located on the second floor of the hospital, will service two important needs. On the left side, which is

designed to consolidate nursing services into a single corridor with an alley down the middle, will be the in-patient medical nursing station. On the right side will be the in-patient surgical nursing station.

“It will be more space efficient than having two separate nursing stations,” said Colin Goodfellow, CEO of the KDH.

Lanark County strives for sustainability with 2015 budget attributed to a reduction in the amount being transferred from reserves.

Major changes in the budget this year are attributed to capital costs. The capital levy is increasing by 6.5 per cent.

Projects in 2015 include the completion of the new public works garage, heating and cooling upgrades and LED lighting at the administration building and Lanark Lodge, construction on McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place, work related to a new Smiths Falls ambulance bay and the planning stages of potential social housing redevelopment as part of the 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan.

“The operations budget increase is 1.2 per cent,” Greaves said. “We have worked very hard to control our operating costs so we can invest in capital renewal and keep tax rates affordable.”

The public works budget represents 39 per cent of the entire county budget, followed by social services and social housing at 20 per cent, and emergency services/health at 19 per cent.

Final 2015 assessment data is not available, but with growth estimated to be 1.7 per cent, residential ratepayers with a property assessed at $200,000 can expect to see an increase of slightly under $6 on the county portion of their tax bill. The bill also includes the local municipal and the education portions.

Tax rates and ratios for 2015 will be set by county council this spring.

A number of competing interests continue to affect the budget, Greaves said, including taxpayer expectations for levels of service while taking legislation and liability into account, the infrastructure deficit, the fiscal imbalance of downloaded services without adequate funding, the desire to maintain low tax rates and a regressive property taxation system.

“We have made strides with our asset management program, which helps us to determine what needs to be spent annually. We have determined we need to reinvest $11 million annually, and we are approaching that target with $10.8

Sports – The ice is in perfect condition for the 11th rendition of Skate the Lake in Portland Saturday and the Weather Network is calling for temperatures around -2 degrees Celsius with some light snow.

John Bongers, of Portland Outdoors and organizer of the event, said the ice, which is at least 35cm thick now, is in “absolutely awesome condition.”

million in 2015,” he said. “The infrastructure deficit, which is a lack of infrastructure reinvestment – specifically for Lanark County roads, bridges and social housing – continues to be a huge issue affecting municipalities across Canada.”

The county continues to pay down debt related to non-profit housing, redevelopment and rehabilitation of building costs and road standard upgrades, and it has incurred no new debt since 2010.

“The provincial debt is $274 billion, and this is the single biggest threat to the

economic future of Ontario residents,” Greaves said.

Warden Keith Kerr (Tay Valley Reeve) thanked council, senior staff and departmental personnel for their hard work during the budget process.

“The county is in a good financial position, and by continuing on the current path we are building a strong future.

This budget also takes local municipalities and ratepayers into account as we all continue to face fiscal pressures,” Kerr noted.

News – With its 2015 budget, Lanark County continues to move forward in its efforts to approach fiscal sustainability.

The budget was approved at the regular council meeting Jan. 14 with a 0.7 per cent tax increase.

Chief administrative officer/treasurer Kurt Greaves says financial sustainability remains the number one goal of county council and staff.

“By focusing on our core services and capital renewal, we are able to continue to improve our financial position. Moving forward, we need to ensure we continue to monitor asset replacement costs and continue to work towards a sustainable level of investment,” he stated.

The overall budget increase is 2.4 per cent, with the county collecting almost $30.7 million from property taxpayers, up from $30 million in 2014. Estimated gross expenditures are $78.4 million, which is a decrease from $78.6 million in 2014, but gross revenues (before property tax) are down from $48.6 million to $47.8 million. The change in revenue is

Following a successful skydiving fundraiser last Aug. 10 by two local nurses, Kelsie Maynard and Amanda Hodgins, which raised $2,000 for Lanark County Interval House, the organization is spearheading another this year. Jump for Justice will take place June 6 at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior. Top, Maynard embarks on her tandem jump. Inset, Maynard’s nerves get to her. Left, Hodgins during her skydive.

Take the leap for Lanark County Interval House June 6 Early bird special for skydiving fundraiser ends Jan. 31 akulp@perfprint.ca

Community – If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to skydive, put the questions to rest June 6 and free fall for Lanark County Interval House (LCIH).

Jump for Justice builds on the success of a third party fundraiser from Aug. 10 last year, Taking Flight with Wings of Courage, where Bayshore Home Health nurses Kelsie Maynard and Amanda Hodgins decided to turn their skydiving adventure into a way to give back to LCIH. Raising $2,000 for the organization when they tandem jumped at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior, Maynard and Hodgins have stepped aside this year and LCIH is taking over the reins.

“People responded to it really well because it’s something that’s different,” noted LCIH board member Amy Nadeau. “Amanda and Kelsie generated interest in

the community and so we’ve decided to do it again.”

With signature annual events such as the Violet Femmes and Women’s Fair, Nadeau said Jump for Justice is a bit of a departure for LCIH, which is what makes it so exciting.

“It’s something different, but it’s also a bucket list item.

People might think about it but might not do it, but if it’s for a good cause, then it makes it more worthwhile,” she remarked. “…

And it’s a great way to get over your fear of heights!”

“It was amazing, just awesome,” Hodgins said of her skydive.

“You feel exhilarated and free when you’re doing it. I recommend for everyone to do it at least once in their lifetime.”

While the jump isn’t until June 6, those who are serious about feeling the rush of skydiving can save on the cost if they register before Jan. 31. Tandem jumps are only being offered at a price

of $250 plus HST, but registering before Jan. 31 knocks $70 off that total. Photography and video packages are also available at an additional fee.

“It’s a great savings and we’re hoping to book people for a full day, which is about 12 or 16 jumpers. If we get more than that, then we would do a full weekend,” Nadeau said, adding that several have already signed on.

LCIH is even “throwing” in a team, called Taking Flight with Wings of Courage, which so far includes a transitional support worker and board member among the brave souls.

The event will once again be held at Mile High Parachuting, who Nadeau says has become a great friend of LCIH. “They’re (Mile High Parachuting) really great. They donated a tandem jump to our Violet Femmes fundraiser for the silent auction in November and we’ve formed a great partnership,” she stated.

Nadeau said LCIH is trying out the fundraiser and if it’s successful may consider holding it again next year.

MacLaren admits to receiving free booze, rooms from brewer Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren admits that he was “a bit naïve,” to accept free beer and a free room from a brewer.

During a telephone interview on Monday, Jan. 19, MacLaren confirmed that he held two fundraisers, likely in 2012 and 2013, for his Progressive

Conservative (PC) riding association at Labatt House, located at Queen’s Quay Terminal in downtown Toronto.

Labatt Brewing Company Ltd., according to the Toronto Star, is a subsidiary of Belgium’s Anheuser-Busch InBev, which has a 49 per cent stake in The Beer Store.

“They are very generous and they offer their facility,” said MacLaren. “We don’t pay any

rent for the room or (pay for) the beer.”

When asked if his PC riding association marked the rent or alcohol as a corporate donation from Labatt on their Elections Ontario forms, MacLaren said, “I’m not sure. It may not have been. I don’t keep the books.

It’s quite possible it wasn’t counted as an expense.”

He surmised that between $5,000 and $10,000 was raised

at each of these fundraisers.

He has held other riding association fundraisers, like a barn dance at his West Carleton farm, but “the biggest difference is that (Labatt House) is in Toronto and not in my riding,” with the fundraisers on Toronto’s waterfront attracting Bay Street conservatives, corporate donors and Queen’s Park lobbyists.

“These aren’t party people,” said MacLaren, with both events tending to take place in the early evening, from 5 to 7 p.m., and most participants having a beer or two, so the beer costs were more likely in the hundreds, rather than thousands, of dollars.

MacLaren is not the only MPP to have partied at Labatt House, with both fellow Tories and Liberals having used the posh facility. The opposition

PC’s even used Labatt House as the location for their annual Christmas party – an event MacLaren attended in 2014 and 2013.

Labatt owns 49 per cent of The Beer Store, which, according to the Star, has an 80 per cent share of the market in the province, with the remainder of the share held by the provincially-owned LCBO. With the provincial government regulating where and when alcohol can be sold, MacLaren was asked if it could be seen as a potential conflict of interest to have accepted free alcohol from a company with a vested interest in maintaining its virtual monopoly on liquor sales.

“That’d be a reasonable thing to say,” he said calmly. “I guess I was a bit naïve. This was just one of those things that never

entered my head. I guess you might call that an oversight.”

MacLaren added that: “I’ve never been approached by anyone, in any form, from the brewing companies…they don’t come to the conservatives.”

He added with a laugh that, even if they did approach him, “they probably wouldn’t like what I have to say…I’m in favour of beer being sold at corner stores. But we already have that in (some) rural areas,” he said.

Even though he was the recipient of free gifts from Labatt, he still wants to see more competition and openness at The Beer Store.

“We should give these craft brewers a chance,” he said.

“They have a hell of a time getting into The Beer Store. That’s too bad.”

New year brings more interesting activities to Lanark County Genealogical Society The bible has an interesting background and was left outside a church thrift shop in Victoria, BC to sell in a vintage sale.

There is quite a bit of information including about 20 pictures, a tintype photo and death

notices.

Recorded in the bible or copies of events include: • Marriages: Marriage of Richard Kerfoot to Mary Ann Millikinn both of Lanark, Co. 7 May 1863 at Smiths Falls/Minister Robert Brewster, Method-

ist Minister. Witnesses: Robert Kerfoot and Elizabeth Foster.

• Births: Richard Kerfoot, born Beckwith, 16 April 1838; Mary Ann Millikinn, South Elmsley, 22 July 1839.

One of the volunteers, Noreen Nash, undertook to locate family descendants and reached out to the LCGS in hopes of locating family members. It was through Purolator we brought the bible home to Lanark County. I opened the package at their office as they had transported and held the delicate se-

cure shipment with such care. It was great to see the smiles once they found out what was in the delicate package. Thanks all.

We are planning a display and meet the descendants afternoon at the Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls later in the spring.

Member recognized At our Annual General Meeting in December, we presented John Morrow of Smiths Falls, with a certificate of long standing community service recog-

nition for 33 years with the society and two additional years with the society’s originators, the Smiths Falls Genealogical Society. He has spent 35 years working to promote Lanark County’s heritage and family histories.

Shorewood donates office supplies to REAL News – Some would say there is always a light at the end of a tunnel. This would be a very small light at the end of a very long tunnel, but Shorewood Packaging has generously donated 1,600 kilograms worth of office supplies and other things to the REAL Deal Reuse Store.

The REAL Deal handles more than just reusable residential materials, and now has a large supply of the following on offer: File folders, hole punches, paper cutters, printer ink cartridges, rolls of various types of tape, printer paper, binders, clip boards, signs, allen keys, wrenches, screwdrivers, cork

boards, step stools, microwave ovens, artwork and a number of crimpers (tensioners) used in strapping.

As well, Susan Hewitt at Shorewood arranged the donation of their used electronic waste to the REAL Deal’s e-waste collection depot, a participant in the Ontario Electronic Stewardship, ensuring that all that waste is properly dealt with, dismantled and recycled in Canada.

REAL wants to extend its thanks to the remaining Shorewood staff for thinking of the REAL Deal as they prepare for their final closure.

“They could have just sent

this to landfill, but Shorewood has been a conscientious recycler for many years,” said Shawn Merriman, president of REAL. “We’ve lost a local industrial leader in recycling.”

The REAL Deal Reuse Store is a project of the non-profit charity Rideau Environmental Action League whose mission is to keep good materials out of landfill. It is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located at 85 William St. West in Smiths Falls. Call 613-283-7999 for more information.

Friends of the Library to hold 18th annual trivia challenge in Smiths Falls Feb. 8 Community – It’s that time of the year when the Friends of the Smiths Falls Public Library invite teams to participate in their annual Trivia Challenge.

The 18th annual fundraiser takes place in the Lancaster Room (main floor) at the Smiths Falls Legion, 7 Main Street, on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Friends chair Tom Foulkes is hopeful we will at least hit last year’s level of participation.

“There is interest in many quarters, including two teams from Perth, so competition will be keen this year again,” he said.

Last year, everyone scored well with the top teams separated by only five points. “Trivial Recruits” (The Smiths Falls and District Hospital Team) emerged as first time winners.

They won over “Absent Minds,” a team entered by Jim and Agnes

McVeety, that had won in 2013.

This year, organizers are going to repeat some of the same question categories, namely popular culture, history and geography, and potpourri, but will add two new ones – rules and special occasions.

The challenge starts at 1:30 p.m. sharp. Each team may have up to 10 players; the entry fee is $125 per team. Prizes will be handed out for the winning team.

All proceeds raised go towards children’s programs, equipment and materials for the library.

The Friends of the Library hope for a good turnout of funloving teams, all contributing to a very good cause. The bar will be open.

Interested in participating?

Contact the library at 613-2832911 or Tom Foulkes at 613283-2706.

Stories from the railway And stay tuned for another event one day prior to the trivia challenge: the Friends of the Library are collaborating with the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario in presenting “The Hobo Life”, Stories from the Railway.

Guest speakers are John Mulkerns, member of the National Association of Hobos and Terrence West, author of Not in My Father’s Footsteps.

The event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 7 at The Ivy on William, 42 William St. W., Smiths Falls, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Tickets $10/person can be pre-ordered on line at www.rmeo.org or by calling the museum at 613-2835696.

Come gain an insight into the challenges and uncertainties of riding the rails in search of work during the Great Depression.

The newly introduced family income splitting provision which allows a higher earning spouse to transfer up to $50,000 in taxable income to spouse in a lower income tax bracket (thus providing families with a maximum of $2,000 in tax relief) and other tax-reducing options like a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA), may have you wondering if income-splitting through contribution to a spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is still a good strategy.

Let’s take a closer look at why a spousal RRSP is a valuable addition to your personal financial plan: • The higher-earning spouse can contribute to a spousal RRSP, but should be aware of attribution rules. If an amount is contributed by the higher earning spouse to a spousal RRSP, the annuitant spouse must wait at least three taxation years after the last contribution before a withdrawal could be made without affecting the taxable income of the contributor spouse.

• If you’re planning a home purchase or if a spouse is attending a qualified educational institution and has lower income, the higher-earning spouse can contribute to both a personal and spousal RRSP up to their available unused RRSP contribution room. This could potentially double the amounts available for withdrawal under the Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) or Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP). (Currently the HBP withdrawal limit is $25,000 per participant and the LLP withdrawal limit is $20,000 per participant with a

Dayna Cross Consultant (613) 264-0064 Perth

R0013102261_0122

Spousal RRSPs – still a good strategy $10,000 annual limit.)

• If a lower-earning spouse exits the workforce to take a parental leave or an educational leave, he or she can receive a payment from a spousal RRSP. In a year of little or no additional income, that person will pay little or no taxes.

• An individual who is over age 71 and has available contribution room can make tax –deductible contributions to a spousal RRSP, provided that the contributions are made before the end of the year in which the spouse attains age 71.

• If a person dies and has unused RRSP contribution room, no contribution can be made to the deceased’s RRSP. However, a final RRSP contribution that is made to a new or existing spousal RRSP within 60 days following the end of the year of death is deductible on the deceased’s final tax return.

A spousal RRSP can be a worthwhile income-splitting strategy, along with other tax planning and retirement savings strategies. Ask your professional advisor which ones will work best for you.

Stopping crime in its tracks

E

ditorial – The police are traditionally known as the solvers of crime, however the general public can play a big role through important organizations such as Crime Stoppers.

This month marks national Crime Stoppers Month and is a time to appreciate all the organization does locally. Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization run entirely by civilians who work with local police to help fight crime. It was formed in July 1976 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and there are now more than 1,700 programs across the world in 32 countries, including right here at home in Lanark County and Smiths Falls.

The local Crime Stoppers began in 1992 primarily covering the communities of Carleton Place and Almonte, but later gained jurisdiction over all of Lanark County and are governed by a board of directors made up of area residents.

The Lanark County Crime Stoppers has a strong relationship with local media and police organizations including the Ontario Provincial Police, who all work together to seize items such as stolen property or drugs, or help gain information on assault cases or outstanding warrants. Re-enactments of incidents

shown on television also help increase Crime Stoppers’ profile. The partnership with media is an important one as it can gain the attention of the public. Trained personnel operate a tip line and pass along valuable information to the police who can follow up and close cases.

It’s a wonderful system that has shown great benefits around the world. In fact, 425,000 crimes have been solved since the program was formed in 1976 and more than $8 billion worth of stolen property and drugs have been recovered.

The model is working in Lanark County as well. Crime Stoppers reported a 25 per cent increase in tips in 2014 over 2013, with approximately $7,000 in drugs and property being recovered in the county last year.

But they aren’t just doling out cash, they are also raising the profile of the Crime Stoppers program through community involvement. Lanark County Crime Stoppers provides sponsorship of local events and has financed a video, in collaboration with the Perth and District Collegiate Institute, highlighting their work.

With the valuable service they provide to our communities, let’s hope Crime Stoppers is here for years to come.

Was there really a Velma, Joyce, Cecil, and a Miss Crosby?

What about my rich Uncle Lou? Or my three brothers and my beloved sister Audrey? Was there an Aunt Lizzie who regularly augmented our meager wardrobes with a hand-me-down box from Regina? And what about my mischievous cousin Ronny? Where are these people now? Every one of the aforementioned were very much a part of my growing up on the farm at Northcote, and very, very real indeed. But sadly, all have passed on, the most recent being my dear friend Joyce just a few months ago.

This is an offence under section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act which states “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing to do so from the ministry or the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road.”

Contravention of section181 of the HTA could result in a fine of $110.

Winter driving Winter puts extra demands on you as a driver, and your vehicle’s performance. Stay alert, slow down and stay in control, these are the three key elements to safe winter driving. The OPP would like to remind the public to: • Drive according to current road and weather conditions. The posted speed limit is intended for ideal road conditions – in poor conditions, reduce your speed.

• Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you; it takes much longer to stop on a slippery road.

You may not spot a hazard as quickly when the visibility is poor.

• Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle ahead.

• Avoid situations where you may have to brake suddenly on a slippery surface.

• Be able to see and be seen. Clean frost and snow off all windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors.

• Equip your car with good wiper blades and keep an ample supply of windshield washer fluid.

• If visibility is poor, use your full headlamps.

• Give yourself extra time to reach your destination, and postpone or cancel your trip if the weather does not improve.

the story of my Mother’s belief that only someone of fair hair should be the first person over the thresh hold in the new year. He said, his memory was that of only a person with black hair who could be admitted first. That brought about memories for both of us of a piece of coal which was brought into the house by the first visitor, to ensure good luck for the coming year. And so it goes...memories written, and memories shared.

And then there are those loyal readers whose mission in life is to keep me on my toes. One such reader sends me letters, which are a joy to read, even though they might be a reprimand for a breach of good grammar, or a word misspelled. He is always a gentleman and a true scholar, and I want him to know every letter he writes I take very seriously, and try, but don’t always succeed in living up to his very high standards.

It is very gratifying to me to know that the column is often recycled and sent off to far away places, which in turn brings me mail from places I have never heard of, and introduces me to people who become friends. Two come to mind: A gentleman from Kitchener writes long, wonderful letters, describing in detail, his life, his home, his activities and his mission in life. His letter is wrapped around packets of imported teas as a token of appreciation for the joy he says the column brings him.

One of the most cherished readers the column has elicited, is a young man, still in his early teens, who had his father drive him all the way from his home in the Upper Ottawa Valley to meet me.

What an honour that was for me!

It is heartwarming indeed to know that my simple stories appeal to people of all ages, and this young man proves to me that memories told, hold no boundaries and appeal to people of all ages.

Just a few days ago I was sent a picture of a very young girl, curled up on a couch, reading a Mary Cook story!

And so I go into another year with gratitude and with hope. I am truly grateful to this paper for giving me the privilege of telling my stories. I am indebted to those loyal readers who take the time to send their feedback. I appreciate that the families left, of those who have passed on, have given me permission to continue to include their loved ones in my stories.

Every letter, every email is cherished, and all are answered. Although I often have to rely on email if an address is lacking, I am an inveterate letter writer, and I am sure one of Canada Post’s best customers!

And so it is with heartfelt gratitude to you, devoted readers, who are the real heroes of my stories, that I give my thanks. Without you, there would be no reason to write of my memories of that special time in my life. And of course, for this paper for giving me a venue, I offer my appreciation.

May 2015 be a time when you too will want to make note of those times in the year, which were special to you, and may you remember those people who will have touched your days in a meaningful way, so that they too will become cherished memories, and become part of the fabric in your own book of life.

Heart Jam in memory of Ron McMunn scheduled for Feb. 1 in Carleton Place ther and daughter Harry and Cheryl Adrain (they will perform separately), Stittsville’s Gord Barnes, Kathleen Stroud and the popular trio Unwound.

Kitts notes that Unwound includes Ottawa Valley Hall of Fame musicians Mike Hamelin and Roger Coulombe.

White says the Heart Jam is also about promoting young talent. To that end up and coming fiddler Alexander George of Ottawa and young songstress Amanda Jordan have been included in what promises to be an excellent line-up.

House band White stresses that the house band is perhaps the most important part of the entertainment package. “Those guys have so much energy and enthusiasm.

Jamie McMunn, left, joins Freddy Dixon onstage during the 2014 edition of the Ron McMunn ‘The Silver Fox’ Country Music Heart Jam last February at the Carleton Place Arena.

The 2015 concert will be held at the arena on Sunday, Feb. 1. available at various outlets (see the complete list at the end of this article). There are just 400 seats. The doors open at 1 p.m. and food and refreshments will be available throughout.

Almonte’s Charlie Kitts, a 2010 inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (as a builder), is one of the most popular emcees in the region. A member of the fiveperson organizing committee, Kitts will be handed the microphone again this year.

He says McMunn’s objective each year was to raise $10,000 for the Heart Institute.

Tribute show “The Silver Fox always found a way to reach that figure,” Kitts recalls. “He was the lightning rod (for the event). Jamie and Jeff (McMunn’s sons) carry on the old Fox mystique.

“This is also a way for us to remember and pay tribute to one of the greats in this business from our area,” Kitts stresses.

For a fourth consecutive year White, a long-time employee of the Carleton Place recreation and culture department, is promoting the event. White is well known for his role in organizing fundraising events locally, especially country music shows.

“We’ve sold out four straight years. Last year there were some disappointed fans turned away at the door. People should buy their tickets early to make sure they have a seat,” he stress-

es. “Don’t plan to buy tickets at the door!”

First and foremost the event is about raising money to assist the Heart Institute.

“We’ve raised a lot of money over the years and with so much interest along with the live auctions and draws we expect to equal or better last year’s total,” White adds.

Kitts adds the cooperation of the entertainers themselves is what makes the Heart Jam such a success.

“They park their egos at the door and really get involved,” he says.

This year everyone will do at least five songs. “I have the hook,” Kitts chuckles.

The other members of the organizing committee are Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, Lee Hodgkinson and Judi Moffatt. Hodgkinson previously teamed with long-time committee member Darlene Thibault. As Smokey Rose they were a popular part of the Heart Jam cast. However Thibault has taken a job in western Canada and is no longer involved.

Besides the McMunns’, the line-up for this year extravaganza also includes Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame members Neville Wells, Dan Paul Rodgers, Howard Hayes, Fred Ducharme and Andy Clarke.

Others on the bill are Carleton Place’s own Ed Bowes (of the Bowes Brothers), Charley Smith, talented Perth area fa-

TAKE NOTICE that the Corporation of the Township of Montague will hold a public meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 17, 2015, in the Council Chambers of the Township of Montague, 6547 Roger Stevens Drive, Smiths Falls, to consider the following item: 

A proposed new Comprehensive Zoning By-law under the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, Chapter P.13, Section 34, which has been prepared to implement the Township’s new Official Plan. The Zoning By-law will introduce various new or altered definitions, provisions and zones for the purpose of prohibiting and regulating the use of land and the erection, location and use of buildings and structures. The By-law will apply to all lands within the corporate limits of the Township of Montague and will repeal and replace the existing Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 1067-77, and all amendments thereto.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the above item. In the event that you are unable to attend the meeting but wish to submit written comments, please ensure that your comments are delivered to the Clerk’s office prior to the day of the meeting.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Montague before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council for the Township of Montague to the Ontario Municipal Board.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Montague before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

THE SUBJECT LANDS, being the entirety of lands within the corporate limits of the Township of Montague, are not the subject of any applications under the Planning Act. However, the Township Official Plan, as approved with modifications by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing, is the subject of an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (Case No. PL120124) in relation to certain lands.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to this item, including a copy of this notice and the proposed By-law, is available through the Clerk’s office during regular business hours from Monday to Friday (tel: (613) 283-7478), as well as on the Township’s website (www.township.montague.on.ca).

Community – Country music is alive and well in the Ottawa Valley.

On Sunday, Feb. 1 that fact will be underlined as country musicians from across Lanark County and eastern Ontario come together in Carleton Place to perform and raise funds for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

“We’ll have some of the best country players in the Valley at this year’s show,” says Bob White, a member of the organizing committee.

The more than 20-year-old production was started by the late Ottawa Valley country music legend Ron McMunn.

Nicknamed ‘The Silver Fox’ McMunn, who was well known across the region, was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986.

Following his death from pancreatic cancer in 2007 a committee was formed to continue the tradition.

A week from Sunday (Feb. 1) the Ron McMunn ‘The Silver Fox’ Country Music Heart Jam 2015 will be staged in the upper hall of the Carleton Place Arena. Tickets are selling briskly and organizers urge interested country fans to act quickly if they want to take part in this very worthwhile cause.

This year’s venture is expected to be a sellout.

Now known simply as The Heart Jam, the production long ago surpassed the six-figure mark in earnings. Last year’s event raised $9,000 for the Heart Institute which is a world leader in cardiovascular surgery and care. The jam is held during Heart Month when the institute is active raising funds to continue their good work. On Jan. 15 a ceremony was held to break the ground for a major addition to the Ottawa facility which means even more working capital will be needed in future to operate the institute.

McMunn started the Heart Jam more than two decades ago. At first it was staged at the Army, Navy, Air Force Club (in two locations on Town Line Road). More recently it was moved to the larger hall of the Carleton Place arena complex.

The upcoming show will feature more than 20 entertainers including McMunn’s sons Jamie and Jeff along with Jamie’s son Brendan another up and coming talent.

The musical extravaganza will run continuously from 2 to 8 p.m. Feb. 1 and tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are $15 apiece. They are

be playing for five or six hours.

It’s a huge undertaking!” he says.

Once again the house band will be led by Andy Bowes (also of the Bowes Brothers) on bass guitar. He is expected to offer some of his trademark yodeling. Other members of the band are fiddler Wade Foster, lead guitarist Brad Scott, Matt Brydges on the pedal steel and drummer Mike Belajac.

Also returning this year is John Bowes of the Bowes Brothers who is in charge of the all-important sound system.

Waterfall Catering of Carleton Place will provide the food for the day and White expects an excellent menu. “Dave Kleiboer’s roast beef on a bun is famous,” he states. Soup,

(to the Heart Institute) during the show.” Pledge forms will be available for anyone who wishes to make a private donation to the Ottawa Heart Institute. Tax deductible receipts are issued to anyone who makes a donation.

Tickets for the fundraiser at $15 apiece can be purchased at the Carleton Place Town Hall reception desk, Temptations, 117 Bridge Street in Carleton Place; SRC Music, 124 Moore Street, Carleton Place; the Naismith Pub on Ottawa St. in Almonte, Nicholson’s Sundries on Graham St. in Pakenham and Mark’s Cobbler Shop on Gore St. E. in Perth.

There are plenty of free parking at the arena which is located on Neelin St., behind Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. There is elevator access from the main lobby

for the handicapped or anyone who finds stairs challenging.

The organizing committee offers a big “thank you” to all of their major sponsors. Special thanks go to Ken Ferguson of Ferguson Graphics and the Town of Carleton Place for their involvement and to Lee Hodgkinson for designing the event poster.

“Charlie makes the afternoon (as emcee) and he keeps things on schedule,” White underlines.

Montreal Expos’ connection to Hall of Fame Class of 2015 Lifestyle – We are in the midst of the “dog days of winter” in our part of Canada. The Snowbirds long ago fled these climes for the sun and warmth of Florida, Arizona or the Carolinas. The travel agencies are doing land office business as untold thousands of Canadians line up to arrange a getaway week on a beach or Caribbean cruise.

My wife and I are not winter vacation people. I laughed the other night when Kathleen told me a work client of hers, who we both know, asked if we are planning a warm weather vacation.

“Yes, we’re going to Regina,” my wife said. And with a straight face too!

That is true actually. We are planning a visit to the Saskatchewan capital in March for the first birthday of grandchild No. 1, Lily.

I’m a big baseball fan and when January arrives I begin to count the days until Major League Baseball (MLB) spring training starts. Earlier this month there was some baseball news that was of particular interest to me, with reference to the 2015 Hall of Fame inductions. I’ll expand on that point later.

As for this year’s spring training, pitchers and catchers report to camp in Florida or Arizona the third week of February, followed quickly by the rest of the players.

There are 30 MLB clubs and these

days it’s an even split. Fifteen teams are part of the Cactus League clustered in the “Valley of the Sun” in Arizona. The other 15 compete in the long established Grapefruit League in Florida.

For baseball fans who are thinking about heading south the teams play exhibition games throughout March and into early April. The first regular season game of 2015 takes place at historic Wrigley Field in Chicago on the night of Sunday, April 5. The Cubs, with new manager Joe Maddon at the helm, will tangle with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908 and they haven’t even appeared in the fall classic since 1945 when they were beaten by my favourite MLB team, the Detroit Tigers. With the very capable Maddon in charge, look for a change in Cubs’ fortunes. I’m not saying they’re World Series bound. But Maddon is a winner and he gets the absolute maximum out of his roster. Every other manager could take a page from his book.

Detroit trains at Lakeland, in central Florida, while the Toronto Blue Jays, Canada’s only Major League entry, are based in Dunedin, near the city of Clearwater on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

A large number of Torontonians and Canadians in general visit Jays’ spring training facility in Dunedin and attend exhibition games there annually. Ti-

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

gers also have a big Canadian fan base considering that Windsor, Ontario is Detroit’s twin city. They are also within easy reach of so many people from Sarnia and other communities in heavily populated southwestern Ontario.

Kathy is from Chatham, Ontario and people there are mainly Tigers’ fans, not Blue Jays’ supporters.

Fergie Jenkins Chatham of course is the hometown of the only Canadian player ever to be inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Pitcher Ferguson Jenkins, a hometown hero in Chatham, played 10 seasons with the aforementioned Chicago Cubs. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet “Fergie” who is a true Canadian sports hero. One of my son Craig’s most prized possessions is a baseball autographed by Canada’s only Hall of Famer.

I began attending Major League games in the 1960s. In 1969 the Montreal Expos became Canada’s first MLB entry. The first Expos’ game

I witnessed was at old Jarry Park in May 1969, the second month of the team’s existence.

I was instantly hooked and from that time forward, right up until the team’s move to Washington D.C. (in 2005), I attended countless Expos’ games at Parc Jarry and later the cavernous Olympic Stadium which, although void of atmosphere, was still a good place to watch a baseball game. I have many happy memories of the team.

The same is true of my life-long love affair with the Detroit Tigers. I have attended many games over the years at old Tiger Stadium and more recently at their wonderful, new downtown Detroit home, Comerica Park.

We were also long-time Ottawa Lynx season tickets holders during the team’s 15-year tenure in the nation’s capital and the International League (IL). For most of that time they were the top affiliate of the Expos (Triple A). I attended hundreds and hundreds (literally) of Triple A games and saw most of the Expos’ top prospects as well as those of the other league teams including future stars of teams such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The list of players I have seen play in person is a lengthy one. A who’s who of baseball I am delighted to write.

Because I had favourite teams in both the American and National Leagues, I have seen virtually every MLB club

play at one time or another.

Name dropping isn’t usually my thing. But when it comes to baseball I can’t help myself. Among the top players I have seen, past and present, are future Hall of Famers such as Derek Jeter, Jim Thome, Chipper Jones and Jimmy Rollins. Among the well-known, past Tigers I saw so many times were Alan Trammell, Kirk Gibson, Lou Whitaker, Jack Morris and Cecil Fielder. Outstanding current Detroit players I have watched in person are Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and Cy Young winning pitcher Justin Verlander.

My former Expos’ life list is long and includes the late all-star catcher and Hall of Famer Gary Carter (I first saw him play as a rookie at Jarry Park), Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Ellis Valentine, Steve Rogers and Canadian-born star Larry Walker.

I could list many players. But among other major highlights for me were seeing the late Tony Gwynne and Kirby Puckett play along with such stars as Roger Clemens, Dave Winfield, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver, Ricky Henderson, Don Mattingly and Robin Yount, to name a few.

I was fortunate enough to attend the 1982 MLB All-Star Game in Montreal and see all the top players from both See COLUMN page 15

leagues.

Former Expos Earlier in this article I mentioned the Hall of Fame Class of 2015. I was delighted to read that former Expos’ pitchers Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez were elected to the hall on Jan. 6. They will be inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York this summer.

Also elected are former Atlanta Braves’ hurler John Smoltz and Houston Astros’ second baseman-catcher-outfielder Craig Biggio.

I first saw Johnson, who is a towering 6’ 10”, pitch for the Expos as a rookie at the Big O in the spring of 1989. The opposition that day was the Pittsburgh Pirates whose line-up featured a young Barry Bonds.

Johnson went on to play for five other teams, four in the NL and one in the AL. He’s a fivetime Cy Young Award winner, a 10-time all-star and he led the Major Leagues in earned run average (ERA) four times.

He was the top strikeout hurler

Create a detailed custom suite floor plan design in the Bigs nine times. Johnson fashioned a rare perfect game with Arizona Diamondbacks in 2004 and he hurled a no-hitter in 1990 as a Seattle Mariner. Johnson helped capture a World Series title and was the series MVP with Arizona in 2001.

His career stats are astounding! Johnson finished with a remarkable 303 wins and just 166 losses. His career ERA is 3.29 and he struck out 4,875 batters.

Little wonder he’s off to the Hall of Fame!

Martinez began his outstanding career with LA Dodgers but was soon traded to Montreal where he played from 19941997. He ranks right up there with original Expo Rusty Staub, Carter, Dawson and Raines as one of the most beloved players in team history.

The career numbers for Martinez are excellent of course. He was 219-100 with 3,154 strikeouts. But his career ERA is an incredible 2.93 which underlines his dominance on the mound.

Highlights of Martinez’s career include three Cy Young’s and eight all-star selections. Not surprisingly he led the Majors in

ERA five times. He also owns a World Series ring earned with Boston in 2004.

So, two outstanding pitchers, both of whom have strong Montreal connections, will enter the hallowed halls of Cooperstown on Sunday, July 26. It’s a sure bet many Canadian baseball fans, especially Expos’ fans, will be there for the induction ceremony.

If you’re a baseball fan and you have never been to tiny Cooperstown, in Upstate New York, you owe it to yourself to make the relatively short trip.

It’s less than five hours drive from eastern Ontario and the museum is an absolute must for every baseball fan, not to mention the hall itself.

We’ve been to Cooperstown twice and plan to return. Seeing Ferguson Jenkins’ enshrined there was a big thrill. I look forward to seeing the plaques for former Expos Carter, Johnson and Martinez. They are now among the legends of the sport.

Feb. 21 Ottawa Valley Opry Night pays tribute to Opry stars Arts – There was a time when Opry night drew the largest radio audiences in North America. And the Ryman Auditorium, in Nashville Tennessee, where the Grand Ole Opry broadcast originated from, was the most important venue a country music entertainer could aspire to perform in. In fact, an appearance on the program was often a milestone that turned many unknown performers into household names.

From pre-war times to present day, the list of artists who became famous as a result of appearances on the Opry, reads like a history of country music in North America and the world. Names like Hank Williams, June Carter, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and their contemporaries trace the course of popular country music for decades.

Ottawa Valley Opry Night brings this amazing history to life, thanks to a group of accomplished Ottawa Valley entertainers who are well known to country music fans throughout Canada. Their riveting 90-minute show, featuring some of the most popular country songs of all time, represents both a labour of love and a dedication to their craft. Fans who love these wonderful songs won’t want to miss their own Opry night, right here in the Ottawa Valley at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Stu-

The Ryman Auditorium, above, hosted the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. Stars such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Carl Perkins graced the stage. Area musicians will bring a bit of the Opry magic to Perth Saturday, Feb. 21 for Ottawa Valley Opry Night.

dio Theatre in Perth.

Canada’s capital has a special honour roll for outstanding country music performers, called the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall Of Fame. Most of the Ottawa Valley Opry Night performers are inductees, including Freddy Dixon, Arlene Quinn, Steve Pittico, Fred Ducharme, Peter Dawson and Charlie Kitts. These talented performers bring some of the Grand Ole Opry’s finest moments back to life, in a way that gives Opry night an exciting new meaning.

Tickets to Ottawa Valley Opry Night are $30, including all taxes and fees, at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, in Perth. You can buy them in person, by phone, at 613-267-6817 or 1-800518-2719, or online at www.shadowfax.on.ca.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it.

by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

a legacy gift in your Will is a great way “ Leaving to give back to the community without having to compromise your time. ”

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignificant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

As with previous editions, MJF offers a wide variety of jazz performances at pubs, restaurants, churches, and other locations throughout Merrickville’s beautiful downtown core.

“Although our operating budget is much smaller than those of larger, wellestablished festivals,” continued Holloway, “we are proud to offer the most interesting programming possible, and rely on and appreciate the support and collaboration of our generous sponsors,

News – On Jan. 18, Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, today announced Parks Canada is offering boaters a unique opportunity to double their experience along several of Canada’s exceptional historic waterways in Ontario and Quebec this spring.

Motorized and non-motorized boaters who purchase a single-lock-andreturn pass, a single-passage pass or a one-day pass between May 15 and June 30, will be able to redeem two for one coupons available at all lockstations, at various boat shows, and from numerous cottage associations and marinas.

“Our government is committed to connecting Canadians to places of historical and cultural significance such as Canada’s historical canals,” stated Aglukkaq. “We will continue working with our partners and communities to allow canals to be premier tourism destinations, generate revenue, foster recreation and economic development, and ultimately build strong communities and support Canadian families. Our record investments in Canada’s canals will allow Parks Canada to welcome boaters and canal users as they discover one of the finest interconnected systems of navigation in the world.”

This promotion builds upon the Government of Canada’s commitment to its historic waterways, including investments of $58 million along the TrentSevern Waterway and $7.5 million along the Rideau Canal for infrastructure improvements. In addition, the Government enhanced visitor service on the Rideau Canal and Trent-Severn Waterway with extended operating hours to support tourism, economic development and help Canadians connect with the incredible experiences along these important heritage waterways.

“Boating Ontario encourages new and experienced boaters to take full advantage of this valuable promotional offer by Parks Canada. The heritage canals comprise some of Ontario’s most scenic and historic boating and excellent initiatives such as this two for one coupon foster recreation on our waterways,” said Boating Ontario executive director Al Donaldson.

The historic canals, an important part of Canada’s heritage, are steeped in beauty, making them exceptional locations to participate in some of our country’s living history. The Government of Canada remains committed to providing opportunities for seasoned and first-time boaters alike to experience canals multiple times with this

promotion, or bring a friend along for their boating adventure.

Through initiatives like these, Parks Canada is supporting Canada’s National Conservation Plan by taking concrete action to connect Canadians to nature.

In addition, the ongoing work of Parks Canada is enhancing visitor experience and facilitating personal connections with Parks Canada places.

Quick facts • Until June 30, 2 for 1 coupons are available and can be redeemed by motorized or non-motorized boaters who purchase a single-lock-and-return pass, a single-passage pass or a one-day pass between May 15 and June 30.

• The coupons are available at all lockstations, at various boat shows (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City) and from numerous cottage associations and marinas.

• All revenues generated by Parks Canada canal operations are invested back into the canals.

• The historic canals are premier tourism destinations that foster recreation and economic development, generate revenue and ultimately build strong communities and support Canadian families.

New youth theatre project seeks young performers Arts – In an exciting new theatre project that will employ the talents of young people in Perth, Burning Passions Theatre (the parent company of the Classic Theatre Festival), will soon be holding auditions for “Listen Up, Perth!,” a play that will be devised and written by and about the challenges faced by young people in a rural setting.

Working with the festival’s artistic producer, Laurel Smith (and in conjunction with YAK Youth Services), youth aged 14 to 25 will have a chance to discuss issues ranging from age discrimination and abuse, to poverty and addictions in a safe setting, developing themes and stories that will then become a play that will be performed in Perth and a possible presentation at a national gathering of youth centres in Ottawa later this spring.

“In a climate of social silence regarding challenges and obstacles facing young people, providing a platform for honest and open discussion of critical issues that otherwise are easily ignored is a major first step in putting the issue onto the public agenda, with the chance for further discussion about solutions,” says Smith.

She has plenty of experience working with young people in an artistic setting, from a series of youth troupes that toured the Greater To-

Like the company’s No City Limits youth theatre project (above), Burning Passions Theatre’s Listen Up, Perth! will be an opportunity for young people to tell real, uncensored stories about their lives in a theatrical format. Auditions will be held shortly. ronto Area as “No City Limits,” to last year’s successful “Perth through the Ages” historic theatrical walking tour, in which young Perth performers trained and performed in a summer-long production that drew many visitors who learned about town history through an entertaining, accessible play.

“Too often, the problems faced by young people are viewed as individual issues as opposed to broader social concerns affecting the majority of the age group: recognition of this broader issue will assist all of us as adults in the community to become more empathetic towards and dedicated to youth-positive policies

and programs,” explains Smith, who believes post-play discussions with adult audience members will provide an important wake-up call and an opportunity for cross-generational dialogue.

The idea for the “Listen Up, Perth!” project grew out of the Classic Theatre Festival’s mentorship of young people during the summer season.

“Our employment of young people during the summer and our ability to provide volunteer hours to high school students has been a gift for us,” says Smith.

“To hear all summer long directly from the mouths of young people about the troubles in their hearts, their souls, their minds, the sense of hopelessness so many face, even those who would normally be considered ‘good’ students. We have taken these words to heart and see them as a challenge, a call for us to use our skills as theatre artists to create a safe space for those who are marginalized and vulnerable to come forward, to shine and to inspire the kind of community change that will help them, as well as the next generation of young people growing up in this area,” she continues.

“Ultimately, young people are looking for ways to connect and relate, and we know that theatre is a powerful tool to allow them

to do that.”

Social statistics in Perth and Lanark County do not present the shiniest of pictures for young people.

Indeed, a report from 2013 found that in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Counties, young people aged 15 to 19 reporting “quite a lot of stress” in their lives numbered 10 per cent higher than the provincial average.

Depression, youth unemployment, homelessness, suicidal thoughts, pressure from school and family life, coupled with a relative lack of resources and programming for young people, combine to present less than desirable social health indicators.

“Listen Up, Perth!” is an effort to, in one modest way, address those issues in a manner that is non-judgmental and likely to inspire change.

Youth wishing to participate in “Listen Up, Perth!” – no previous theatre experience is necessary, but rather a desire to be involved, share stories, and help craft the scenes to be presented – should send an email to burning@web.ca or call 613-2648088.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the costs of the project will receive a charitable tax receipt, and can obtain further information by contacting the company at the above email and phone number.

Annual Almonte Folkus concert series kicks off another season Arts – A good way to keep warm this winter is by catching Almonte’s annual folkus concert series, which launched Jan. 17 at Almonte Old Town Hall with a performance by Trent Severn.

The roots-based music series which began in 2002, offers four shows each season during the colder months. Trent Severn, a trio from Stratford, Ontario, includes Emm Gryner, Dayna Manning and Laura C. Bates.

All concerts take place at the town hall, built in 1884.

Show time is 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7:30 p.m.

April 25: Ball and Chain, The Durham County Poets Ball and Chain are an Ottawabased band with Michael Ball and Jody Benjamin as the shackles holding this group together.

Formed in 1997, they now have five full-length CDs in their catalogue. Their latest release, Louisiana Love Bug, was recorded, produced and mastered by Dirk Powell in Louisiana. Dirk is well-known See FOLKUS page 28

The annual folkus winter concert series kicked off Jan. 17 in Almonte with a performance by Stratford trio Trent Severn. Next up on Feb. 28 are The BelleRegards, left, and Jack Pine and the Fire (below).

R0013106545_0122

Lineup Feb 28: Jack Pine and the Fire, The BelleRegards Jack Pine and the Fire, is a project of Ottawa’s Gareth Auden-Hole, which evokes the same feeling of finding direction in chaos.

Stepping out of his usual role as an audio engineer and music producer, Auden-Hole let his songwriting skills and musicianship rise to the top for a notable debut, a self-titled effort and an outstanding collection of songs. The richness of roots music, the twang of old-time country and the frantic energy of gritty rock are wrapped into a narrative, then hammered out by the band’s talented fingers and stomping feet.

The BelleRegards are a four-piece folk band based out of Toronto and play what they like to call “rowdy folk.” With more than a hint of bluegrass and rockabilly, the band is identified by high-energy live shows, foot-stomping rhythms, trad breaks and good humour.

They love to get the crowd moving with them – whether to an upbeat two-step or swaying to a ballad, their shows invite

performing as Oh Susanna in the mid-1990s, crafting a persona that matched the timeless qualities of her music, sounds that drew from the deep well of early 20th century folk, country and blues, yet rooted in her finely-honed storytelling skills.

This Canadian songstress has a voice that can pierce a heart of stone. Her superbly crafted songs often tell stories of troubled souls who rebel against their circumstances to attain a quiet dignity.

Joe Joe arrived to the shelter after some time of being outdoors and he did not fair well living the feral life. He arrived lethargic, poor weight, poor coat and in need of antibiotics to treat exposures. Joe Joe has come a long way in a short period of time.

Now healthy, he is playful and affectionate and despite his small quarters he still manages to do somersaults when people arrive. Joe Joe will make a fine addition to any family that will keep him indoors.

Joe Joe is not able to survive without the support of a person and a home.

window. The person dropping him off could not identify the car plate.

Both of his little eyes had been sealed shut from infection, he was starved and emaciated.

He is now, a healthy and happy kitten loving affectionate and playing with everyone

entering the ICU. Of course he does get down sometimes...

Amos is just a kitten. His permanent and slight head tilt does not interfere with his ability to thrive.

All he needs now is a loving home!

Ace Ace is a bright, energetic one-year-old Rottweiler mix who loves to fetch. He is very eager to please and has learned basic obedience skills, sit and down. His leash skills are improving although he is very strong, and so not suitable for children.

He is generally quiet and good with some dogs.

Although Ace had no training and some bad habits when he arrived, he is gradually blossoming at the shelter. He is very people friendly but will require a diligent handler who is willing to give him exercise and training.

With his playfulness and

outgoing nature he will be a loyal and devoted companion for the right owner.

Give him patience, time and a ball to throw, and you will have a friend for life.

Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-2839308.

Southern sun at Full Circle Theatre this weekend as Mark Twain returns Arts – Mark Twain famously said “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it”, but this January, Full Circle Theatre is changing that.

After a sold-out concert by legendary local band Fireweed last Saturday that was so sizzling hot it brought a Sunday thaw, Full Circle Theatre will bring some southern sun to Perth this weekend with a return engagement of BarnDoor Productions’ fall show, Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook.

It’s a one-man show performed by

BarnDoor producing director David Jacklin that has been called “a gem” and “a tour de force”. Jacklin has performed the show from Windsor to Ottawa, first putting on his Mark Twain make-up more than 33 years ago.

The show is very fluid, changing each time it is brought to the stage, drawing on the hundreds of Twain’s works to give each incarnation some fresh energy.

No matter what material it’s drawn from, it is always entertaining and thought provoking and, as you can

expect from Mark Twain - one of the world’s greatest humourists, very funny.

One of Twain’s biggest selling books was one that had no words in it at all. It was a patented self-sticking scrapbook and Twain often joked that it made him more money than any of his other books.

Jacklin’s one-man show takes the scrapbook idea as its centre, presenting a series of ramblings from Twain’s own scrapbook, from his early life on the banks of the Mississippi through

his experience in the US Civil War to his adventures in the Wild West. The show features excerpts from some of Twain’s most famous works and also from some of his lesser known ones, from his earliest humourous stories to his late-life thoughts on life and death.

Brought to vibrant life by David Jacklin, whose first performances as Mark Twain was at 12-years-old and who, in 2012, received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work in the performing arts, Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is exciting theatre.

Caught in between several regional productions last fall, many people missed seeing it, but, in the midst of late January’s snow, there’s not much else happening, so it’s a perfect time

to correct that.

Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is a show that you will remember for a long time – and it might take the chill of the winter for you, too.

Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook runs for one weekend only, Jan. 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, near Last Duel Park, in Perth. Tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door and just $10 for students.

To reserve tickets, simply call 613267-1884. No credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested.

Information and reservations can be found online at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

FOLKUS From page 25

for his work with people like Joan Baez, Jack White, Loretta Lynn and T. Bone Burnett. He assembled some great Louisiana musicians for the Ball and Chain recording.

Michael and Jody have been making frequent trips to Louisiana since 1997 and the music from southwest Louisiana and its cultural context continues to fascinate them.

The Durham County Poets are five guys from the Chateauguay Valley who have played and do play in blues bands, gospel groups, Cajun,

vaudeville, folk, rock and even yes, country bands.

In listening to their own material, you get a mix of sounds and stories, influences and genres that is uniquely their own.

Some of their songs had been lying dormant for more than a decade, others are newborn. A collective blend of styles from Dan Hicks to James Taylor, the Band to Leon Redbone, there is a melting pot full of inspired tunes to enjoy.

A series pass to folkus is $90 or those interested can purchase tickets to individual performances for $30

each (adult) or $15 for students.

Tickets and series passes are available in person at Mill Street Books in Almonte and are also available online or at the door.

Homeownership program offers down payment assistance to residents Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Looking to buy a home in Leeds and Grenville?

The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville offers down payment assistance, known as the Homeownership program, to first-time home buyers who are currently renting in the county.

According to the UCLG website, down payment assistance of up to 5 per cent of the purchase price of a newly constructed or resale home up to a limit of $11,250 is provided to eligible applicants in the form of a 20-year forgivable, interest free loan.

To qualify, applicants must be 18-year-old, have a combined gross household income of $73,000 or less and have access to mortgage financing. The home must have a purchase

price of $225,000 or less and be located within the UCLG. Applications are now being accepted on a first come first approved basis, subject to the availability of funding.

Alison Tutak, Director of Human Services at UCLG, said the Investment in Affordable Housing program, which is funded by the federal government and administered by the provincial government, provides the funds for the Homeownership program. The UCLG received just over $1 million for IAH programs for 2014 to 2015.

She said that an announcement regarding the IAH funding came in August, starting an $801 million, six year extension.

“We received an additional allocation of money for affordable housing,” said Tutak.

“So our total was just over

$1 million.”

The UCLG offers three different IAH programs, out of an available five, including the Homeownership program, Housing Allowance and Ontario Renovates.

“The Homeownership program is targeted at first -time home buyers in Leeds and Grenville,” said Tutak. “There are limits on income and the house itself. It has to be relatively modest in order to qualify for down payment assistance.”

She explained that the down payment is provided in the form of a forgivable loan, which has to be paid back in full if the home is sold within a 20 years of purchase.

“It provides people with the opportunity to buy a home where they otherwise wouldn’t be able to do so,” said Tutak.

She said the down payment is set up like a second mort-

gage. In 2014, the UCLG provided down payment assistance to 36 families.

Tutak said an effective way to get the word out about the Homeownership program is through real estate agents, who work directly with people looking to purchase a home.

“The Homeownership program isn’t something people may be aware of unless they are in that situation,” said Tutak.

She said the UCLG receives applications from people who have already found a home they wish to purchase and those who simply want to know if they qualify before beginning their search for the right home.

“We can preapprove people for the Homeownership program,” said Tutak. “But they run the risk of finding the right home six months later and then coming back and there being no more funds available for the year.”

She said the Homeownership program is a great way for people to exit the dead-end

road of renting.

“It allows people to start investing in the community by owning a home,” said Tutak.

An Affordable Housing Study was completed in January, 2004 for the UCLG, by the consulting firm SHS Inc. The report states that the goal of the Homeownership Program is to assist low and moderate income rental households in purchasing affordable homes.

The report goes on to say that this will ‘ease the demand for rental housing by assisting renter households to purchase affordable homes; free up social housing stock to address waiting lists; provide low and moderate income individuals and families with an opportunity to move up the socio economic ladder through home ownership.’

According to the UCLG website, there are 156,358 households on waiting lists for affordable housing in Ontario.

Of those, 56,000 are families with children, 40,000 are se-

niors, 59,000 are single people and couples under 65.

The UCLG website states the wait for affordable housing can be as short as a month or more than 10 years.

According to MLS Data provided by the Rideau-St. Lawrence Real Estate Board for the year 2013, the average cost of a three bedroom detached bungalow in the Municipality of North Grenville is $300,000. In the UCLG, the average cost of a three bedroom detached bungalow is $241,026. The provincial average of the same sized dwelling is $297,479.

Furthermore, according to the MLS Data, there are close to 40,000 private households in UCLG, with 73 per cent of them one family homes. In addition, homeowners pay an average of $963 in monthly mortgage payments.

For more information on the Homeownership program, contact the Human Services Division of UCLG at (613)-3423840, extension 2401.

Lifestyle – Just got back from press days at the 47th annual Montreal International Auto Show and my first thoughts are a big thank you to the organizers of this massive event. They coordinate hundreds of subcontracted display professionals along with the Palais Des Congres support staff and welcome thousands of visitors and consumers every January. And they look after every one with care and dedication.

I usually fall into the media sound bite or byline flash trap of trying to package the entire event into a single theme for easy consumption. But with the wide variety of carmakers serving an equally diverse series of consumer needs there really isn’t an encompassing tenet rolling past the pulsing lights and thumping sound-tracks of carpetcomforted sculptures of gleaming painted bodies with just the right amount of blinding bright chrome and soft-toned LED lamps. About the only singular topic I noted was the absence of any great amount of talk about fuel economy (probably due to gasoline prices at the lowest they’ve been in almost a decade).

Don’t get be wrong, many carmakers were promoting their green side as they’re still facing a major hike in the US’ Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards by 2025.

The show runs until Sunday, Jan. 25 and it’s well worth the easy road trip (www.montrealautoshow.com). One of the best features of this show is the large number of automakers represented, including stables of European exotics and ultra-opulent luxo-tigers. Marks like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati let car-nuts dream and discover where most mainstream vehicle designs got their inspirations for poorer cousin clones.

More than a few manufacturers lit up their crystal balls and their turntables with futuristic concepts to tease us as to their production directions. Pack a bag and make it an overnight getaway from January weather and post-holiday blues.

There were plenty of awards, even if most of them were promoted by the manufacturers themselves by reading out sales records over the past year.

Just like most movie watchers like to name their own Oscar categories and winners, I too decided to wander off the sound bite path to search out my own winners and losers. The award for Best Display Explaining Technology goes to

Festival in Ontario in August 2014. She has performed at the Winterfolk festival in Toronto and has played music on the long haul trains between Montreal and Halifax and between Vancouver and Toronto with the VIA Rail On Board Entertainment Program.

She has shared stages with some of Canada’s finest folk artists, including Jory Nash, Jon Brooks, Suzie Vinnick, and Garnet Rogers.

“Shawna Caspi has the rare gift of presence, a warm presence that immediately invites audience engagement, from the first strum of her skilled guitar playing to the last exquisite note she sings.

Gaspi’s lyrics show, her music and delivery tell; her songs are beautiful stories that stay with listeners long after the CD is spun, long after the gig is over.” – Andy Frank, co-founder of Roots Music Canada Skjelliphetti: A Conspiracy of Sound Japhy Sullivan, Noah Sullivan, Maddie Field-Green and Phil Schleihauf make up this quirky quixotic quartet,

whose repertoire ranges from Celtic instrumentals and folk ballads to original songs and instrumentals with a funky jazz vibe. Their appearances at last summer’s Stewart Park Festival, opening recently for Kate Weekes at the Full-Circle Theatre and their triumphant guest performance at Sharbot Lake’s Centre Stage Cafe, have a lot of people talking about these very talented young musicians.

Currently making plans to release their first recording and tour farther afield, Skjelliphetti is a local band that’s going places.

The double-bill of Caspi with Skjelliphetti is the first concert in the winter series,

on Sunday, Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. at MERA Schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners. Tickets for the Winter 2015 segment of the Sunday Schoolhouse Concert Series are $55 for three concerts. Single concert advance tickets are $22.

Toronto-based singer Shawna Caspi performs Jan. 25 at MERA.

chops, a commanding stage presence and an inviting charm, Shawna Caspi doesn’t need a band to deliver an engaging and energetic show.

She has all the sound she needs under her fingertips, with a remarkable fingerstyle guitar technique.

Shawna’s playful wit and sense of a seasoned storyteller makes each performance intimate and captivating, no matter the size of the room.

She has played in venues from cafes to soft-seat theatres, from living rooms to festival stages.

Apartments for Lovers is Caspi’s third full-length album. In contrast to her first two releases, which featured a collection of session players and elaborate arrangements, this new album is a solo guitar and voice record.

Caspi’s elegant fingerpicking and warm voice are showcased in this project, resulting in a recording that’s close-up and honest.

Caspi recently returned from touring British Columbia in June and New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland in April and played the Blue Skies Music Festival and the Summerfolk

Jean-Claude’s white 1960 Oldsmobile Pace Car replica Lifestyle – Jean-Claude Marcoux of Mont-Ste.-Hilaire, Quebec, recently purchased a beautiful white 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible from an older couple in Brantford, Ontario, who had owned it for 25 years. But why did Jean-Claude want an Olds convertible and why that particular year?

Jean-Claude is now a retired chiropractor who, as a young man, studied for his profession in Indiana. While there, he attended the 1960 Indy 500 in Indianapolis in May of that year and graduated from his studies the following month. While watching the 1960 Indy, he saw and greatly admired the Pace Car for that year: a white 1960 Oldsmobile convertible with the appropriate “pace car” lettering on the doors, never dreaming that he would own an identical car 54 years later!

Jean-Claude and his wife Lucille were driving to a car show in Vermont last summer in their very rare, low mileage 1954 Nash Ambassador Country Club 2-door hardtop. In the past two years, they had sold their ’52 Hudson, ’53 Kaiser, and ’61 Thunderbird, all beautiful cars. And so, as they were driving along, Lucille suddenly said: “Oh wouldn’t this be fantastic in a convertible!!” That set the ball rolling and now they have their 1960 Olds Super 88 convertible.

Oldsmobile offered three open models in 1960: the Dynamic 88, the Super 88, and the Ninety-Eight. The rarest of the three is the Super 88 (which Jean-Claude has). Only 5,830 were built. Convertible top colour selections included white, black, green, blue, beige, and turquoise.

General Motors discontinued the Oldsmobile in 2004 as part of their corporate restructuring. Exactly 100 years earlier, in 1904, Mr. Ransom Eli Olds of Lansing, Michigan, in a dispute with others in the company, left to form a rival company.

Unable to no longer use the Oldsmobile name, he named his new cars with his initials, and that’s how the REO car was born! It flourished in car and truck form until the mid-1930s.

Ryan Hreljac takes on new role at Ryan’s Well Foundation Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Seventeen years ago, Ryan Hreljac had a dream of bringing drinkable water to the whole world.

At the age of 23, Ryan has a more realistic dream of making a difference, one water project at a time.

“When I was six years old, I thought building one well would bring the whole world clean water, but as I grew up I realized the scope of the issue,” said Ryan.

He said currently there are one billion people in the world without access to fresh water.

“You have to start out thinking naïvely and then go out and gain actual experience to make a difference,” said Ryan.

The university graduate has taken on a new role at the Ryan’s Well Foundation, as Assistant Project Manager, which began on Jan. 5, 2015.

“I am thrilled to be working at Ryan’s Well,” he said.

Ryan attended the University of King’s College in Halifax after graduating from St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville. He graduated from the International Development and Political Science program in 2013.

“It was a great experience,” he said, noting being finished with school opened many doors for him.

“I was excited to be done with school and start working. I wanted to volunteer more with Ryan’s Well and I was able to do that.”

Following graduation, he got a job with Youth Ottawa, which is a nongovernmental organization focused on engaging youth in politics.

Ryan Hreljac, the founder and the inspiration for the Ryan’s Well Foundation, stands outside the organization’s office, located at 215 Van Buren Street in Kemptville, beside a picture of himself as a young student at Holy Cross Catholic School. Behind Ryan is a picture of his brother, Jimmy Akana, who immigrated to Canada under refugee status when he was young. Ryan and Jimmy were pen pals for many years when the two lived on two different continents. Jimmy is married and pursuing a career in the trades.

“We established a youth community, called OYEC (Ottawa Youth Engagement Committee),” said Ryan. “We recruited about 20 people to be on the committee to represent youth interests in Ottawa politics.”

He said he has been able to travel quite a bit over the years, through his volunteer work with the foundation, which was an enriching experience for him.

Ryan has travelled to Qatar, Argentina, Mexico and Brazil since graduating,

for speaking engagements relative to the foundation.

“At the speaking engagements, I told the story of Ryan’s Well and tried to emphasize that even though we are a small foundation, we do really good work that helps the most people we can through our fundraising,” he said.

He explained sustainability was a major talking point during these engagements.

“We’re a small organization, but by working with communities, we can do

big things.”

He said it is such a simple message and something he is very passionate about.

Continued involvement He continued volunteering with the Ryan’s Well Foundation since its formation in 2001, but this is the first time he’s taken on a full-time employment role in the foundation.

Ryan said he applied for the position when it was announced the foundation

was looking for a new Project Manager, which will become available in June 2015. For now, he is jumping into the role of Assistant Project Manager, in preparation for taking over the Project Manager position.

According to the Ryan’s Well Foundation website, Ryan will assist in planning and executing water and sanitation projects and monitoring their operations. He will also play a leadership role in fundraising and in furthering the foundation’s mission to empower citizens, especially youth, to make positive change in the world.

“My experience through volunteering with the foundation played a factor in my decision to apply,” he explained.

“Ryan’s Well does such amazing work and as long as that continues to be the case, I will always remain involved in some capacity.”

He is going to Burkina Faso, Africa in April, to complete some hands-on training with the foundation. He will also be travelling to Kenya and Uganda, for the same purpose.

“Going (to Uganda) will be a nostalgic trip for me,” said Ryan, whose brother Jimmy Akana was born in Uganda, before coming to Canada under refugee status.

He explained the basis of Ryan’s Well is to build long-standing projects that remain sustainable decades down the road.

“Like anything, wells break down over time,” said Ryan. “That’s why it is so important to get the community involved in the project and teach them how to maintain and fix the well, otherwise the project fails.”

He said it is very important for the foundation to conduct project look-back campaigns, to ensure the longevity of each project.

“We revisit past projects to ensure sustainability,” said Ryan.

Currently, the Ryan’s Well Foundation has completed more than 900 water projects, including wells, protected springs and rain harvesting tanks, which have brought safe water and improved sanitation to more than 824,038 people worldwide.

“There are different solutions to every circumstance,” said Ryan. “Sometimes building a well best suits the needs of a community and sometimes a rain harvesting barrel does.”

He explained the first step is always to establish what method of procuring drinkable water is best for each community. He explained that Ryan’s Well has various partners around the world, consisting of local NGOs, that come forward to the foundation and propose projects that will benefit people with the highest need. Currently the foundation has roughly a dozen partners in various countries, including Uganda, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo and Haiti.

“We start out partners with small projects and determine what they can do for local communities,” said Ryan. “They start small and get bigger as we go along.

He said the foundation is currently doing a bunch of rain harvesting tanks in Kenya.

“We’re working with a local women’s collective to provide these tanks to people who are very vulnerable. One rain harvesting tank can provide water for four families, at a cost of $1,300. The rain collects in the tanks during rainy season and can be used throughout the year. We’re looking at getting a lot of these projects done in the next couple of months.”

He said that during high school and university, he was unable to volunteer much with the founda-

tion due to time constraints.

“I’m really excited to be getting back into it now,” said Ryan.

He explained taking on this new role will allow him to do really good work that goes a long way in the world.

“This is something I’ve been doing for 17 years and now I get to play a more active role in helping people,” said Ryan. “It’s an incredible thing I don’t think I could ever walk away from, as long as the foundation continues to do great work.”

He said the key to the foundation’s success lies in the fundraising, without which none of the work they do would be possible.

“We’re a small organization and we can only fundraise so much, but we do a lot with the money we get. We get donors from all over the world, from people who heard about my story.”

He hopes to empower people to build better lives for themselves, moving into the future.

“At the end of the day, it’s amazing that a kid from Kemptville can go on to make a big difference,” said Ryan. “I wasn’t special, but I was passionate. I’m lucky to be a part of this.”

He explained that although he no longer thinks one well will change the world, he does intend to try to change a portion of it.

“I’m stubborn, not a quitter,” said Ryan. “I am from Kemptville, after all.”

He has spoken to more than 40 international conferences worldwide, to hundreds of schools and scores of motivational events. Among the many awards and honors, Ryan has received the Order of Ontario as the youngest-ever recipient, the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, the Canadian Meritorious Service Medal and Planet Africa’s Nelson Mandela Humanitarian Award.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER).

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Budget deliberations continue

“There is no guarantee these prices will stick around. Some industry experts are saying we should brace ourselves for an increase in fuel costs that would exceed mid-2014 levels.”

BRIAN CARRÉ

The 11th suggestion was to remove the election reserve, at a savings of $15,000 to the municipality in 2015.

The final suggestion was to reduce fuel costs, based upon cur-

rent fuel price levels, for 2015 by 10 per cent.

“There is no guarantee these prices will stick around,” said Carré. Carré said that reduction of fuel costs is a huge risk to take and could result in a fuel deficit in 2015.

“Some industry experts are saying we should brace ourselves for an increase in fuel costs that would exceed mid-2014 levels,” said Carré. “We would have to rebuild the capacity into the budget, if fuel prices did go back up.”

At the end of the meeting, four suggestions were carried by council, to be removed from the second draft budget, including $20,000 to hire a consultant, $20,000 to freeze hiring, $15,000 to remove election reserve and $18,000 to cut fuel costs by 10 per cent.

Kehoe did the math relative to these four changes and said the tax increase for the draft budget went from 7 per cent to 6.33 per cent.

“That’s $32.82 for every $100,000 of assessed value,” said Kehoe.

“We provide service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with one person manning the ship,” said Hutt.

“Eventually the ship is going to break.”

The fourth suggestion was to conduct an immediate review of the municipality’s cell phone contract for the purpose of obtaining the most competitive rates possible.

The fifth was a review of the municipality’s snow removal practices on side streets to ensure the municipality is not exceeding minimum standards at a significant cost to the municipality and taxpayers alike.

The sixth suggestion was to conduct a review of user fees and charges in nearby municipalities with similar attributes to North Grenville to compare and impose increases where necessary.

The seventh suggestion was to reduce the costs associated with the proposed municipal staff and volunteer appreciation dinner.

“The cost seemed high to me,” said Councillor Barb Tobin.

“There has to be a way to minimize dollars.”

Sheila Kehoe, North Grenville Treasurer, said that $11,000 was currently budgeted for the appreciation dinner.

She said in past years, the appreciation dinner was budgeted for $4,000.

The eighth suggestion was to reduce the community grants line item, from $8,000 to $5,000 and apply the $3,000 savings to the budget requests from community groups.

The ninth suggestion was to disconnect the water service and drain the plumbing system at the former Oxford-On-Rideau Town Hall to allow for the heat to be shut off.

Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, said this could have serious structural impact on the building, as stone

buildings lacking heat suffer freeze-thaw cycle effects.

The tenth suggestion was to limit the attendance of council members at Ontario municipally related conferences to one member only.

Gordon is already provided attendance of these conferences through the counties, so in fact, two members of council would be in attendance.

Green Party candidate ready to run issues-driven campaign Joseph Morin

Joe.morin@metroland.com

News - The Leeds-Grenville federal Green Party is wasting little time getting ready for the upcoming 2015 election.

Lorraine Rekmans, who along with her husband Gerry, own and operate Rekmans Automotive Inc. in Kemptville, has been selected as the federal Green party’s candidate for Leeds-Grenville.

“She represents the type of candidate that the Green Party is looking for and she is well prepared to run an issues-driven campaign,” said Greg Philliban, Chief Executive Officer of the Leeds-Grenville Green Party Electoral District Association (EDA).

“She is intelligent, articulate and thoughtful and will be able to represent the Green Party platform with assurance and confidence,” said Jane Hart, financial agent for the EDA. This is the second time Rekmans has run as a Green candidate at the federal level. She is active in her party and serves as the Indigenous Affairs Critic in the party’s shadow cabinet. She also is the chair of the Grenville Centre for Social Studies.

Her concern for the future of Canada, the sustainability of its communities, and industries and resources, the search for a way to enshrine political, and economic solutions, to modern day challenges in a sustainable way, drives her to want to

Lorraine Rekmans was at Geronimo’s Cafe in Kemptville Saturday. The newly selected federal Green Party candidate is ready for the 2015 federal election which takes place later this year. Sitting with some friends, left to right: Lorne and Finn McKee, Lorraine Rekmans, Kay and Keira McKee. try once more to attract more interest and votes to the Green party.

She has a wealth of experience in trying to gently open up people’s minds to new ideas. “We do not have a government who is willing to show interest in new ideas,” said Rekmans.

Growing up in the mining community of Elliot Lake, she witnessed what

an economic collapse can do to a community. As a result, Rekmans believes solutions to challenges need to be made with environmental, economic and social concerns front and centre.

“Solutions should be able to be sustained over the long term,” she said. “You cannot have infinite growth and development without being aware of the price.”

Rekmans grew up in a part of Ontario where uranium mining was the preferred industry. After years of taking uranium out of the ground and sending it all around the world the inevitable happened.

The tailings from the industry were dumped into 10 lakes. The idea was that the water would protect the surrounding environment from the leftover radioac-

tivity. The area was flooded. Of course the plan, while well intended and backed by a short-term scientific perspective, began to unravel when the radioactivity started to leach into the surrounding environment. According to Rekmans the solutions the government came up with fell short of solving the problem.

This serves as an example of faulty logic when it comes to long-term solutions to challenges industry has placed on the environment.

As she looks ahead to the federal election she has a number of issues on her mind: financial security, income security and a sense of security in Canada’s communities to name just a few.

“People are feeling insecure,” said Rekmans. “There are people who have fallen out of the middle class and those who were never able to get into it,” she said. She feels there are community issues that are being ignored by big government.

“I am noticing increased pressures on local food banks and increased pressures on families to support youth who are largely jobless. We must support families with policies to address childcare, income security, and create employment opportunities for our youth,” she said.

She believes the current government has stopped listening to the middle class and to small business.

“I remain convinced that the service industry and small business are largely ignored by government and yet, small businesses and services industries create so many employment opportunities for Canadians,” she said. “As a small business owner, I have yet to see any government policy or program that supports our efforts to create local employment.

Payroll taxes and government red tape are a hindrance to job creation. As small local businesses we create viable opportunities and we never ask for bailouts.

We believe we are expected to muster up and make it. This doesn’t mean we deserve to be completely ignored by government.”

She is against strategic voting and would like to see Members of Parliament voting in support of what their constituents want, not what their party wants. Rekmans is well aware of the importance of agriculture and agribusiness in Leeds and Grenville. The future of the Kemptville College is high on her list of priorities. She would like to see some kind of sustainable solution to the college’s future and is not prepared to watch it disappear.

“I am very interested in food security and distribution,” she said. “We have to

change the way we look at food distribution.” She believes that farmers, in order to survive are forced towards an agribusiness model of farming just to stay in the game. “The problem is that the game has changed,” she said.

To make sure voters get the kind of government they want she encourages them to vote for the people on the ballot in front of them, not necessarily for the party.

While being pragmatic about projects such as the proposed Trans Canada Pipeline switch over from carrying natural gas to oil and its derivatives, she says the project is just too dangerous to go ahead, “Water does not come cheap in North Grenville,” she said explaining that the aquifer that services North Grenville, Merrickville-Wolford and surrounding area is too important to be risked with a pipeline with dubious benefits. She believes we should be creating a manufacturing industry that produces for Canada not simply extracting Canadian resources and exporting them to be refined and then sold back to Canadians.

Because of her northern Ontario background she has seen firsthand the despair created by industrial growth that has not been properly planned out.

In her family business, Rekmans Automotive Inc. she works alongside her husband Gerry and her sons Joshua and Christopher. She is also enjoying her grandchildren Faith and Curtis. “I look after the bookkeeping but sometimes I sweep the floor,” she said.

Council discussions on January 12 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The North Grenville Municipal Council met on January 12 for the first regular council meeting of 2015.

The following are the briefs from that meeting.

Community Transportation grants Brian Carré, North Grenville CAO, began the meeting by bringing the Community Transportation Grant Program to council’s attention.

“Through discussions with Mayor Gordon, we learned there is an opportunity for NGAT (North Grenville Accessible Transportation) to apply for some grant money,” said Carré.

He explained the deadline for the grant application is January 30, 2015 and NGAT has expressed they don’t have the necessary resources at this time to enter into a transportation partnership with the Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

Carré said the grant money has been made available for organizations seeking to offer transportation to county residents.

He said the intent is for one to be located at the North end of the counties and the other at the South end.

Carré said NGAT has expressed interest in partnering with a larger group,

New nursing station will increase efficiency for staff Continued From page 3

“Nursing has changed a lot in the last 60 years,” said Goodfellow.

He explained the way nursing services are delivered has changed significantly.

“The amount of space they need to do their work has decreased,” said Goodfellow.

He said the new nursing station is a more appropriately designed

space, which must be utilized to the fullest extent at the KDH. “The new nursing station, which will be combined for both the inpatient medical unit and the inpatient surgical unit (for the hip and knee replacement patients, all of whom are admitted for a two or three day stay), will have new HVAC, new millwork, counters and storage, and new ceilings, flooring, paint and furniture,” said Jenny Read, KDH Communications Lead.

Goodfellow said one major change in nursing is the usage of a Work Station on Wheels The WOW is a moveable cart, with a computer and medication.

“Nurses can go from room to room with the WOW,” said Goodfellow. He explained patient’s charts are now available on a computer system.

“The nurse can punch in a code and all the information is right there,” said Goodfellow.

He said all the medication on

the WOW is pre-packaged and pre-measured. “There is a high degree of medication administration accuracy,” said Goodfellow.

He explained the WOW is laying the ground work for full chart integration relative to eHealth, which is a provincial move to computerize medical information. Goodfellow also mentioned the KDH is renovating in-patient rooms, two at a time. These rooms are used for patients admitted to the hospital. So far, three rooms

have been completed.

The in-patient rooms are getting new HVAC, electrical distribution, headwall units, medical gas piping, ceilings, flooring, paint and furniture.

“This modernization of the patient rooms will result in increased comfort and convenience for patients and their families,” said Read.Goodfellow said the KDH is constantly looking at ways to improve services.

“Currently, there is no place

for families to sit and have private conversations in the hospital,” said Goodfellow. “We are looking at options to put in a shared quiet room.”

During the 2013-2014 fiscal year, there were 20,872 visits to the emergency department, 6,155 day surgeries, 488 admitted to the in-patient medical units, 324 admitted to the in-patient surgical units and 29 admitted to the interim long term care.

Three community groups ask to partner with municipality on projects in 2015 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Three community group representatives made presentations at the Jan. 13 Committee of the Whole regarding potential partnerships in 2015.

The first presentation was made by the lead pastor at Southgate Community Church, Ben Last.

“Southgate Community Church started in 1998 and in 2007 we built our current facility, on French Settlement Road,” said Last.

He said more recently, the church has seen an increase in attendance.

“As North Grenville grows, so do we,” said Last.

He discussed the various services offered by the Southgate Community Church, including a program geared towards single mothers and widows, who need help around the house with ‘honey do’ lists. Last said that three years ago, Southgate decided to build an outdoor rink, as they saw a need in the community for such a facility.

“We’re looking to go into the next phase of that project, which is to make the outdoor rink a more permanent facility,” said Last.

He said that Southgate hopes to partner with the municipality with respect to this project, by offering up the land for use.

“We’d love to see what options there are for partnering with the municipality,” said Last.

He said the plan is to pour a concrete slab for the outdoor rink and install LED lights.

“As North Grenville doesn’t currently have

a public outdoor rink, we would love to provide the land use for such a project by partnering with the municipality,” said Last.

He said it is an open ended question, as land the rink sits on belongs to Southgate and is maintained by church goers, but is open to the public as well. North Grenville Councillor Barb Tobin questioned whether Last had looked into other forms of funding, to which he explained yes, but it is difficult to get grant money as a religious organization.

“A partnership with the municipality would make it easier for us to get funding,” said Last.

He said he has had dialogue with the Ottawa Senators Foundation and the church’s track record proves their good intentions.

“We can certainly help with the dialogue,” said Tobin. “Someone will be in touch with you.”

The second presentation was made by David Habberjam of the Oxford Mills Community Association.

“I’m interested in discussing Maplewood Hall,” said Habberjam. “We, as a community association, have been encouraged to take back (ownership) of the hall. We would like to see the municipality do an engineering audit on the building before we proceed.”

Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works, explained that the municipality completed an engineering audit of Maplewood Hall around the year 2000, at which time hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent refurbishing the building and repairing structural issues.

Dunlop said issues concerning the roof, the basement, ventilation and bathrooms were ad-

dressed at that time.

“It was a full structural integrity report,” said Dunlop.

Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, said the reason Maplewood Hall wasn’t included in the most recent wave of engineering audits was because the report from 2000 was sufficient.

“We have the full file of works that were done and we’d be happy to share them with you,” said Symon.

The final presentation was made by Tim Hamilton, president of the Kemptville Little League. “We are asking two things,” said Hamilton. “The first being a partnership with the municipality to address the issues facing diamond three at Riverside Park.”

He said it is the oldest diamond in all of Kemptville and has now become a safety issue. According to Hamilton, the total cost for repairing the diamond is $34,000.

“We are bringing $27,000 to the table and we’re asking the municipality to contribute the remaining $7,000,” said Hamilton.

The second request made by Hamilton was with regards to the integrity of the backstop on diamond three at South Gower Park.

“This diamond is municipal property and the Kemptville Little League has already invested $83,000 in that property,” said Hamilton.

“We’ve contacted a company in Ottawa who quoted the work, for sandblasting and applying protective paint to the backstop, at $6,600.”

He said every cent raised by outfield signage goes back into municipal infrastructure.

Life with kids, nothing like it

O

pinion – I’d say sibling rivalries are fairly normal. As you grow together, at times you grow to dislike each other.

Always being compared to one another. Always fighting over the biggest piece of chicken (a battle I never won, which would be evident if you ever laid eyes on my brother).

The never ending triumphant of oneupping each other and the glorious feeling of getting away with something devious because you had worked so hard to frame your brother or sister for said crime.

At one point, my mom and dad got so fed up with our bickering that no matter what happened, we both got spanked.

Looking back, my parents were geniuses.

My brother was kind of nasty. I love him now, because he’s my brother and I know he’s always got my back and vice versa. But when we were kids, his primary mission in life was to destroy me – physically and mentally.

He tormented me in every way possible, and being over six feet tall, it was not hard for him to do.

A mere flick of his wrist could do major damage. I owe my durability to my brother, no question about it.

So thanks brother - for toughening me up! You’re the best!

My son was an only child until he was five-and-a-half years old, so I never had to deal with the sibling rivalry dynamic as a parent until very recently.

Surprisingly perhaps, my oldest son is not the issue – he’s a little angel with his brother and sister, always telling them

L

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

how cute they are, playing with them and helping them out.

He’s a great big brother and I can’t remember ever having to scold him with regards to his treatment of his baby brother or sister.

The babies, however, are brutal to each other.

Little tiny babies scrapping alongside the best of them. I’ve never seen anything like it.

My daughter accidentally crawls across my son’s leg and he grabs her hair and pulls as hard as he can, screaming all the while, trying to push her off him.

Then she starts to cry and it all ends in an epic disaster.

My daughter pulls herself up and my son decides he wants to be standing in that exact spot, so up he goes too, and then the shoving begins, resulting in someone plopping directly on their bottom and more ear shattering screams.

The worst is toys. Whenever one baby gets a toy, the other baby immediately wants it.

Doesn’t matter what toy it is or the fact the other baby recently passed it up when it was offered to them, but the mere fact the other baby has it, drives the other one crazy.

It’s hilarious. Watching them is way better than television.

The sun rises up over Prescott Street in Kemptville but cannot chase the cold away.

Water all around, no water to be found

ifestyle - You would think the cows would just eat snow.

But no, even though I rarely see them in the barn drinking water, when the water is frozen, that’s all they want.

For the first time ever, since the Farmer built the farm during the Ice Storm in ’98, the water to the barn is frozen. Solid as a rock. And frozen water is probably the worst possible thing that can happen on a farm in winter. It’s a royal pain in the butt, I tell you what.

The Farmer drags a garden hose from the house to the stable and it reaches just to the other side, where he has placed a half-barrel that he will fill with water.

The problem is the hose is often frozen, and so is the tap to the house.

You have to bring a bucket of hot water to pour over both, and then wait.

When it opens up, you shuffle as fast as you can back to the barn to ensure the other end is in the barrel.

It isn’t, because the cows have discovered water comes out of it and they are already fighting over the barrel.

They started assembling and jostling for

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

position from the moment they heard you struggling with the hose.

The sheepdog got off her lead the other night and was allowed to sleep in the stable with the horse, who appreciated the company as her Donkey and sheep have been adopted by the farm down the road.

She’s doing fine by the way – thanks for asking. She has decided it’s time to reassert her position of priority over the rest of the herd, which consists of a dozen cows and one bull. She tosses her head at them to say “I go first” every time there is a new barrel of water or bale of hay served.

When the Farmer came in to fill the water barrel and was having trouble

managing the cows, Chelsea started whining and pulling on her lead like she wanted to get involved. So he brought her over to the cows and told her, “watch the water.”

She took ownership of the position, and stuck her head in the barrel. Every time one of the cows tried to stick her snout in to get a drink, Chelsea snarled and bared her teeth until the cow backed away.

Thus the barrel got properly filled, and weighed down by the water so the cows could take turns drinking without spilling it all. When it was empty, the whole routine started over again.

We were going to send Chelsea to live on another sheep farm, where she would happily work at herding the animals, but the Farmer has decided he would like to keep our Border Collie.

He says he is going to let her off her lead more often and just keep her with him throughout the day as he works around the barnyard, mending fences and doing chores.

She never bites him, so I’m not sure what he is planning to teach her. I hope

“do not bite the Farmwife” is on the lesson plan.

The mild weather we had on the weekend meant I could once again go for my 5k walk around the block. I did the same on Monday morning, as the temperatures began to plummet again.

Unfortunately, I saw something on my walk that just might deter me from going that route ever again.

Fresh kitty-cat tracks crossed the road in front of me in the freshly fallen snow.

They looked like regular barn cat tracks, except for the fact that THEY WERE ABOUT THREE INCHES ACROSS. This is the exact size of a cougar or

mountain lion, according to my research when I got home, face still flushed from my walk and heart pounding due to my discovery.

When I told the Farmer he just said, “I told you to carry a stick when you go on your walk.”

Now I know why people do that strange ski-walking, year round. Those poles would be great implements of defence if a strange creature were to cross your path.

I think I’ll get myself some. www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Merrickville Legion retrieves medal of fallen soldier News - The act of remembering our fallen soldiers does not begin and end on Remembrance Day. The Merrickville Legion Branch 245, on Monday, Jan. 19, agreed to purchase off of eBay, a Canadian Memorial Cross that once belonged to the mother of private George Roger Angus who died shortly after the battle for Vimy Ridge in France in 1917. His mother and father lived in Merrickville. The medal is more commonly known as the Silver Cross and is given to a family member, usually the mother of a fallen soldier.

“The name of Private George Roger Angus is included on our Cenotaph here in Merrickville,” said Merrickville Legion President Randy Stowell. “His mother would have worn this Cross here in the village. He was not married when he joined up in April 1916 [in Saskatchewan]. A year later he fought at Vimy Ridge and appears to have been wounded and died on 4 June 1917 - less than two months after the battle,” he said. “The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 245 will buy this medal for display in our Branch - connects us today to Vimy and with a soldier who did not come home.” Stowell explained that the medal was a piece of history linking the village to those long ago events.

The existence of the medal was the result of the hobby of a St. George, Ont., man who searches the Internet, particularly eBay, for medals that have been lost or forgotten. Often the medals turn up at estate auctions and are purchased by collectors. Families may not be aware of the fate of their family’s medals. It was Dave Thomson who spotted the medal on eBay at a cost of $300. In the end MerrickvilleWolford Mayor David Nash got wind of the medal and connected the Legion with Thomson. This was on Monday morning, Jan. 19. By the late afternoon the decision had been made by the Legion to purchase the medal and fundraise the $300. In an email to Dave Thomson, Nash stated: “I commend you on the valuable service you are providing our country. Thank you for contacting me about this. I have forwarded your information to Randy Stowell the president of the Merrickville legion who I am certain will be contacting you.”

Private G. R. Angus was born in Oshawa, Ont., and enlisted in Saskatoon, Sask. Private Angus was a member of the 46th Battalion.

The unit has come to be known as “The Suicide Battalion”. The 46th Battalion suffered 1,433 killed and 3,484 wounded – a casualty rate of 91.5 per cent in 27 months.

In a declaration Private Angus made out in 1916, before he head-

ed off to war, he listed his father James Angus who lived in Merrickville as his next of kin.

Dave Thomson has been successful in returning medals to many families in Eastern Ontario.

Often the family may have disappeared and the next place to look for a home for a medal is in the Legion Hall of the community where the recipient has family.

Normally Thomson or someone in the community fundraises funds to buy the medal off eBay and place it into the hands of families or local Royal Canadian Legion branches. The Memorial Cross, or “Silver Cross” as it is more commonly known, was first authorized in 1919 for presentation to the mothers and widows of Canadian sailors and soldiers who lost their lives during active service or attributable to that service.

The crosses were sent automatically to mothers and wives who qualified, and could be worn by the recipients anytime, even though they were not themselves veterans.

The cross was engraved with the name, rank and service number of the son or husband.

Stowell said he would be asking Legion members to help out with fundraising and the public is invited to participate. For more information about the medal and how to donate please call the Merrickville Legion at 613-269-3338.

GARDENER’S CORNER

I killed a tree today

It is against my nature to to cut down a viable tree. Today I did just that. It was a junk maple that was sapping all the nutrients in our back yard and slowly killing a stately spruce and threatening several fruit trees.

For the last several years it has cast a pall over the back yard.

The tree is down, much to the consternation of Angie as the 40 ft maple creaked to it’s downfall and I was scrambling to my escape route with a running chain saw. Over the years I have learned to look carefully at a tree. Where is the weight distributed, what direction is the wind and what is the worst case scenario.

Today was the best case scenario. I wanted the tree to fall to the east. The wind was out of the west and I had cut all the heavy limbs on the west side of the tree.

Then cut a deep notch on the east side of the trunk. All the weight was now on the east side of the tree. It fell exactly where I wanted it.

It will now provide us with firewood for next winter and open the back yard to a bath of sunlight for the fruit trees and hopefully the recovery of our spruce. When you garden, there are times you need to make hard choices. When to prune and when to plant. This was extreme pruning. But we have plans to plant a new MacIntosh apple in the back yard.

The Silver Cross medal.

R0013095018/0122

Even though it was a junk maple, it was a living tree. It was thriving. It was with very mixed emotions that I pulled the cord on the chain saw. It must seem crazy to lament the death of a weed tree but I do. I promise to plant many more as expiation.

When we garden, we have to make choices. What goes, what stays. Not easy choices. Is it a weed or just a plant in a place we don’t want?

I had a hard time cutting down the tree today. We plant trees, not cut them down. In the last year we have planted trees for our new grandson and departed uncle. A memorial tree for my Mom and a Balsam with two leaders for our fortieth anniversary.

Trees are part of our life. We have planted one for each of the kids. They are living reminders of the growth and development of this next generation.

The chainsaw was the villain. The operator it’s accomplice. But just sometimes we need to remove the things that impede growth and let the sun shine in.

When the day was over, I had killed a tree. But I gave four other trees the best chance for survival. Tough choices. Who said life was easy?

Mustard seeds; an impressive natural defence mechanism Don Mercer

Lifestyle – A number of years ago, I worked on a project to extract a natural mucilage material from yellow mustard seeds. The mucilage had many interesting properties and potential applications as a thickening agent in various sauces and dressings. However, there were other aspects of mustard seeds that soon became apparent and quite intriguing.

Any of you who have bitten into a tiny raw mustard seed may have noticed the rather characteristic burning or bitter aftertaste left in your mouth. What you are experiencing is actually part of mustard’s natural defense mechanism against attack by insects and other threatening predators.

Let’s take a look at the chemistry behind what is occurring at the molecular level to make this happen. Mustard, and several other related crops, contain an enzyme called “myrosinase” within their cellular structure.

Enzymes are really just specialized protein molecules that allow them to speed up certain chemical reactions. When the mustard’s cell walls are damaged, the enzyme is released and comes in contact with compounds in the seed known as

“glucosinolates”.

Using small amounts of water present in the seed material, the myrosinase sets about converting the glucosinolates to isothyocyanates. These bitter isothiocyanates are toxic to the insects and other predators and protect the mustard seeds from attack - a simple yet effective defense mechanism.

The question that probably now arises concerns your safety when consuming mustard seeds and other crops which have the myrosinase enzyme in them. Fortunately, there is not a major issue here. Glucosinolates are benign, or harmless to humans. What we really need to do is prevent them from being converted into isothiocyanates. We are quite lucky here as well, because it only takes a brief exposure to moderate heat to inactivate the myrosinase. Since mustard seeds are heated in most food processes and applications, the reaction pathway to the isothiocyanates is shut down, and the problem is resolved.

Natural glucosinolate levels have been reduced in some crops to zero, or near zero. This means they can be safely used as human or animal feed without the risk of being toxic.

A Canadian success story dates

back to the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when rapeseed was bred to remove its glucosinolates and several other undesirable components.

The new commercially important oilseed crop, with its many healthassociated attributes, was named “Canola” to distinguish it from its less attractive predecessor.

An interesting off-shoot of the myrosinase-catalyzed reaction is its possible use as a natural insecticide. Glucosinolates can be converted to isothiocyanates which can then be sprayed onto plants to discourage insects and other pests from attacking them. Using a surface application on the outside of the seeds will have no effect on the consumer.

Although isothiocyanates are known to have negative effects on human health when ingested, there have been some promising studies to investigate possible medical applications of these compounds under controlled clinical conditions.

From a personal perspective, I have never looked at mustard quite the same as I used to when putting it on a hot dog or hamburger.

There is just so much more here than meets the eye.

Tiny mustard seeds are more than just a source of condiments for hot dogs and hamburgers.

Salvation Army says thank you to community for donations Community - The Christmas celebrations are memories now and over the last few weeks there has been time to reflect on the many highlights The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle campaign has seen in North Grenville this year. In short, it was an outpouring of compassion and support for residents who are in need or who have fallen on difficult times.

Mr. Stewart, the Christmas Kettle Campaign Coordinator, admitted that he was quite happy to collect the last of the kettles on Christmas Eve but also stated that he was amazed at the goodwill and generosity of the North Grenville community. He pointed out that some outstanding partnerships took place in support of the kettle campaign.

RBC Kemptville took a day to ring the bells at Jonsson’s Independent Grocer store. Juice 97.5 FM advertised and interviewed many people in support of the campaign and their two-day Radiothon was a tremendous success raising more than $9,200 that went right into the kettles’ coffers.

The Kemptville 73’s teamed up with The Salvation Army and not only did they participate in the radio-thon they manned the kettles on a Saturday afternoon and dedicated a game in support of the food bank. Royal LePage’s annual winter charity BBQ was another success contributing $1,234.60 to the kettle campaign. Thank you everyone!

Stewart said he would be remiss if he didn’t mention the St James Presbyterian Church’s group ringing the bells at the kettles at all five locations for one shift.

In fact all the churches in North Grenville had individuals, families and groups ringing steadily throughout the duration of the campaign. Cholly Boland and his daughter Clarise Boland provided guitar and songs during their shifts and the North Grenville Community Church’s worship team and Thursday Night Care Group were providing music at the kettles at a couple of different locations as well. Pastor Ken Gehrels of the First Christian Reformed Church of Kemptville arranged to ring the bells at Canadian Tire while his car was being winterized; now that was planning!

Stewart said he could talk for quite a while about each group, family and individuals who took up the bells as there were so many who gave their support to the worthy cause. He said some folks took on multiple shifts every day to ensure the kettles where available for people to give. The businesses that authorized the kettles to be in their stores were extremely important, without their cooperation the campaign would be a bust. Special thanks are given to: Mr. Jonsson at Jonsson’s Independent Grocer; Mr. Lyons, Manager of Food Basics; Mr. Beveridge of the B&H grocery store; Mrs. Nieuwenhuizen, Manager of Walmart; and Mr. Hoffman of the Canadian Tire store. The Salvation Army appreciates your compassion and support.

Stewart said that when he took the responsibility of Kettle Coordinator he did not know the goal was $60,000. When he learned of it he thought it a bit steep, but he took it to the Lord and asked for prayer. There were times when it appeared it would fall short of the target, but when he told others he was comforted with the response that whatever was raised would be used to help those in need, and the Father would provide what was needed.

He was most surprised that for the last five days of the campaign bell ringers came through giving it their best to ensure as many shifts were filled as possible. It was like they knew they were needed and provided.

North Grenville District High School who had both intermediate and high school students actively participate in collecting and sorting food donations.

This was a tremendous help - high school students loaded up a sleigh with food donations they had collected (truly a scene right out of the movie ‘The Grinch Who Stole Christmas’) and pulled it through town from their school to our centre. Then amazingly over 130 intermediate students filled the distribution centre over a three day period to sort and pack Christmas Baskets.

It was a wonderful opportunity for students to experience a ‘hands on’ approach to giving at Christmas and an answer to prayer for The Salvation Army to complete the monstrous task at a very busy time.

A special thank you is given to the teaching staff and school administration for this great partnership.

A very big thank-you, to the youth of NGDHS, Mrs. Henry Prosper, the Learning and Resource Teacher, Mrs. Gen Murdock, SAC Teacher, and Mr. Morrison, The principal of the Intermediate School. ... your community is proud of you!

cell powered automobile with carbon fibre reinforced hydrogen pressure tanks. Its makers claim it will have the same performance in terms of range, acceleration, and refilling time as a conventional automobile, but it will be silent and its exhaust will be water. On the other side of the world hydrogen powered buses already regularly cross Tower Bridge in London.

A different technology will be needed to generate electricity for the network from stored hydrogen. The latest generation of thermal power stations burn natural gas in a gas turbine that turns a generator. The hot exhaust from the gas turbine heats a boiler and makes steam to power a conventional steam turbine and generator set. Conventional power stations have a thermal efficiency of only 38 per cent, but used together with a gas turbine 60 per cent of the energy in the natural gas is recovered as electricity. If a combined cycle power station used stored hydrogen made by electrolysis from surplus electricity it could recover up to 50 per cent of the original electricity on demand.

The only viable alternative to today’s fossil fuels is a mix of modest renewable sources of energy anchored by the massive use of direct solar or nuclear power. These will have to feed an infrastructure of expanded electrical networks and hydrogen manufacture, storage and transmission systems. Nature has nothing else on offer.

Since the publication of the Lamontagne report in 1973 Canadian governments have followed a strategy of policy based science that was described at the time as: “The customer, (i.e. the government, business or the consumer) says what he wants; the contractor (the scientist) does it (if he can); and the customer pays.” As climate change accelerates and becomes more profound science must become the basis of policy. Governments can set their goals, and choose the coach and players, but this universe is nature’s playing field and nature dictates the rules and assigns the punishments.

Currently this province and indeed the world faces a difficult choice of taking a few painful economic hits now, or of enduring severe, major, probably unending penalties during the second half of this century.

gy in 2.5 litres of gasoline. The Leaf is a practical vehicle because electrical motors convert 90 per cent of electricity into motion, while the efficiency of a gasoline engine is limited to less than 25 per cent by the laws of thermodynamics. Batteries will certainly have an important role to play in the energy economy of the future, but their size and weight will mean their use may be limited to the daily storage, supply and cartage of electricity for individual domestic and commercial users. Only a fuel based system could store the province’s daily or seasonal supply of energy.

There is no simple, green, pump in replacement for today’s fossil fuels. The light gas hydrogen is the only fluid fuel that will burn without creating carbon dioxide. It is bulky to store and ship. It burns with a hot, invisible flame and if confined can explode. But it has been used for over 200 hundred years. Pipelines carried Victorian coal gas that was 50 per cent hydrogen to industrial and domestic consumers. Today, world wide, industry manufactures 50 million tonnes of hydrogen a year from natural gas and the waste carbon dioxide that results is dumped into the air. As any high school chemistry student knows, passing electricity through water splits it into hydrogen and oxygen.

Simple electrolysis is inefficient as much of the electricity simply heats the water. Efficient industrial electrolysis cells have electrodes containing a catalyst, usually the precious metal platinum. Today hydrogen is stored under high pressure in underground tanks or like natural gas can be stored in salt domes and similar geological formations.

Under pressure a litre of hydrogen will contain about fifth of the energy of a litre of gasoline. Internal combustion engines are too inefficient to use hydrogen effectively, but 70 per cent of the energy in hydrogen can be converted to electricity by a fuel cell that reverses the process of electrolysis. Like an electrolysis cell, an efficient fuel cell has to contain small amounts of a catalyst.

Research continues to reduce, even eliminate, the amount of scarce, expensive metals in electrolytic and fuel cells. Fuel cells lend themselves to mobile and small static installations. In Japan Toyota has just started selling its first fuel

Supersize society means paying attention to portion sizes Heather Westendorp

We live in a Supersize society! Our dinner plates are larger and 24 oz. beverages are normal. The houses we live in are larger.

Big comfortable furniture takes more space. Even our pillows are larger! It seems bigger is better, but when it comes to body size, there is a different opinion.

It is so easy to increase the size of portions. Bags and containers just get larger to give more volume! Large increases sales because people feel like they are getting a deal!

The first time you measure a half a cup of oatmeal or All Bran original cereal for a portion, it is shocking how little you get to eat! It is hard to believe that these are normal size portions for foods.

It is no wonder we feel like we are starving when weighing and measuring foods! It is like counting 14 crackers! We feel deprived when we begin to count calories!

Our bodies are telling us we eat too much food when we feel bloated and uncomfortable. Each year we gain a few

more pounds and adding up the calories honestly surprises us. Portion control is a dreaded thing, but it is often necessary to put food volume into perspective.

One cookie would likely satisfy, but they come in packages of three and we feel all the food in front of us must be eaten, or we are wasteful!

Food manufacturers love to increase your eating capacity so they can sell 30 per cent more food to you on an annual basis. They pack as much as they can into a bag so they can claw that extra seventy five cents per package to make you feel like you are getting a deal.

They spend less on packaging and guaranteed you will finish a Share Bag of chips just as quickly as the Regular size bag packing an extra whopping 600 calories of nutrient absent food! This leaves your body craving more in a short period of time and they can now sell you more food product! This is great for sales, but not so great for your body!

The one thing I have noticed while gaining some weight back is my portions. Slowly but surely my portions have been increasing in size. I often have seconds and the first serving is

Decreasing calories and losing weight decrease the size (not the number) of fat cells and then you feel full faster with less capacity. The hard part is changing the trend from building fat cells to decreasing the size of the fat cells you have. Eating normal size portions of food is shocking at first. It appears to be such a tiny amount of food by comparison to what you have been eating, you feel like you are starving to death. It is not true of course, but our perception of a serving is so warped by our supersize version.

Four ounces of meat certainly looks different from a 12 oz. steak! A half a cup of yogurt does not look like a serving. The big bowl or plate looks empty and therefore we feel like we are not getting enough food! Two cups offering The beauty of enlarged fat cells is a variety of vegetables certainly looks the storage capacity! Overeating forces different when we are used to eating the liver to push food into fat cells for vegetables as a garnish! One slice of storage.

drinking glass.

Losing weight takes time and many people lose patience and simply figure they are starving to death with small portions and the changes with added fibre and vegetables is a shock to the body in the first month or so, but believe me, it is worth it.

The move from unlimited calories and portions is very difficult. It is the reversal from gaining weight to losing weight throwing every habit you have created out the window. You will lose weight quickly in the first couple of weeks, but once the body starts to adjust, it will only be a pound or two and maybe even no loss.

Many people get discouraged at this point, but continuing to eat a balanced diet will help shrink those fat cells and eliminate all those extra pounds of fat.

Long term portion control and balanced eating will lead you to better health!

Heather Westendorp is a graduate of the University of Guelph: Food, Nutrition and Risk Management Diploma.

She has also lost over 40 lbs. and is now a healthier weight, improving her health status!

Former KDLL no longer ‘Little’ New Products

Dan Piche

Sports - The former Kemptville District Little League has renamed itself to Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club (KWBSC).

The name change is directly in line with the growth of the club as the number of players, teams and divisions have experienced exponential growth over the past few years. “When we ďŹ rst discussed the idea of renaming Kemptville Little League we wanted to ensure that the new name incorporated ‘Wildcats’ into the name while recognizing that both baseball and softball are an equally important part of the club,â€? said Tim Hamilton, President of KWBSC. The new name does just that.

The Wildcats name and logo is synonymous with baseball & softball in Kemptville and throughout Eastern Ontario.

The logo is recognized by all visitors to the various ballparks and is the symbol behind the highly popular Wildcats Shootout, Showdown and Slugfest tournaments that are hosted in Kemptville every year.

Some of these tournaments are the largest in Canada.

The addition of softball in the name recognizes the vast growth of the girls’ softball program.

Three years ago there were two girls teams and approximately 25 players, this year it is expected that there will be eight to 10 teams with up to 100 girls participating!

The baseball name is equally important as part of the growth was due in part to Kemptville hosting several Provincial championships over the past two seasons: the 2013 minor Provincial championships and the 2014 Junior Provincial Championships. Baseball continues to grow year over year.

Registration for the upcoming season is nearly here.

The ďŹ rst in-person registration will be at the North Grenville Municipal Center, Saturday Jan. 31 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Online registration is expected to begin Jan. 24, 2015. KWBSC is expected to grow once again this year. Clearly baseball and softball in Kemptville are no longer little.

Growing Kemptville Little League pitches idea for more fields to council jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The Kemptville District Little League presented a deputation at the Jan. 12 council meeting.

Tim Hamilton, the president of KDLL, said that the organization is growing at an exponential rate.

“Last year, we were the fastest growing league in Ontario,” said Hamilton.

“We went from 240 kids (in 2013) to 350 kids (in 2014). Next year, I predict we’ll have 500 kids.”

Hamilton said the league starts children at the age of three and goes all the way up to the age of 18.

He said that the league grew by 33 per cent in 2014. He also said the league is entering into its third year of girls’ softball. In 2013, there were two teams.

In 2014, there were six.

“We are very proud of that,” said Hamilton. “We have grown considerably in the past five years.”

He said that five years ago, there were no tournaments held in North Grenville.

Now, there are four major little league tournaments in town, including the Wildcat Showdown, the Wildcat Shootout, Slugfest and the Little League Ontario Junior Championship.

Hamilton explained that the Wildcat Showdown is the first tournament of the

year, held in May annually.

“Last year we brought 1,600 kids to Kemptville,” said Hamilton.

He said the Wildcat Showdown is run is conjunction with the Dandelion Festival.

“We have a good relationship with the organizers,” said Hamilton.

“We’re going to continue running the tournament alongside the Dandelion Festival.”

He said the second tournament of the year, the Wildcat Shootout, is held in June annually.

“It is the largest all-star tournament in all of Canada,” said Hamilton.

He said the tournament hosted 34 all-star teams from across Ontario, Quebec and upstate New York.

“Over 1000 families came to North Grenville last year for that tournament,” said Hamilton.

According to Hamilton, the KDLL anticipates over 50 teams will come to the Wildcat Shootout this year.

He said 2015 will be the third year for Slugfest, which is a girls’ softball tournament, also held in June each year.

“It’s a brand new tournament and it’s growing,” said Hamilton. “It has been primarily house league teams, but in 2015 we’re hoping to have house

Report says former Kemptville man died in Syria countrymen and Canada in general, according to the video.

“Your people will be indiscriminately targeted, as you indiscriminately target our people,” said Maguire in the video.

The video was filmed amongst the ruins of an unidentified town, possibly somewhere in Syria.

“You either pack your bags, or prepare your explosive devices. You either purchase your airline ticket, or you sharpen your knife,” he said.

According to media reports, Maguire is one of six Canadian extremists reportedly killed while fighting for ISIS in the last two months.

Maguire grew up playing hockey and was the bassist in a punk rock band.

After moving to Ottawa, he converted to Islam and changed his name to ‘Yahya.’

According to media reports, his family was shocked when RCMP officers informed them he had gone to Syria. The government soon cancelled his passport so he could not return to Canada to follow through on his threats.

“It is the most prestigious tournament in little league in Ontario,” said Hamilton. “We’ve had nothing but good feedback. We’re very pleased with the results.”

He said that in 2014, the KDLL received various grants, including a $45,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and a $19,500 grant from

the Toronto Blue Jays Field of Dreams.

“As we grow, we realized we needed more fields,” said Hamilton. “We have been very fortunate with help from the municipality in applying for grants.”

He said the grants were put towards refurbishing local baseball diamonds, including diamonds at South Gower Park and Riverside Park.

Hamilton explained that more valuable than the money is the affiliation with the Toronto Blue Jays, who have agreed to send people to assist in teaching the children baseball techniques.

He said thanks to the grant money, the diamond at South Gower Park is ‘a beautiful field to play on.’

Hamilton explained that the KDLL intends to continue building valuable partnerships going into the future.

“We are blessed to have a business community that wants to participate in youth sports activities,” said Hamilton. “We call them partnerships because we hope we bring people into the community who frequent local businesses, so it is a profitable relationship both ways.”

He said the KDLL has big plans for 2015-2016.

“We want to go beyond little league,”

said Hamilton.

He explained that in three or four years, when baseball players graduate from little league, they need somewhere to go to continue playing baseball.

“We are actively soliciting to have a National Capital League baseball affiliation,” said Hamilton. “These are the best players in Ottawa.”

He said the KDLL hopes to start an Ontario Baseball Association in Kemptville in 2016.

“That’s where MLB (Major League Baseball) looks for players,” said Hamilton.

He said KDLL intends to continue growing the program exponentially over the next five years, as they have done in the past five.

“The one thing we will need is more fields,” said Hamilton. “We would be interested in fixing up the field at the Kemptville College, if the municipality moves forward with that.”

He said the KDLL will be changing its name to Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club in the near future.

“You dream big Tim,” said David Gordon, North Grenville Mayor and Warden of Leeds and Grenville. “I have always been very impressed with the work you do. You’ve got the fortitude.

Keep it up my friend.”

News – John Maguire, a Kemptville native who flew to Syria to join the Jihadist movement, is reportedly dead.

Ottawa is looking into reports that Maguire, who was featured in an ISIS propaganda video released in December 2014, was allegedly killed in northern Syria while fighting for the terrorist group known as ISIS. Maguire, 24, was born and raised in Kemptville, graduating from North Grenville District High School in 2008.

He attended the University of Ottawa prior to travelling to Syria.

Maguire, who used the name Abu Anwar Al-Canadi in the video, was killed in the city of Kobani, according to a pro-ISIS Twitter account.

According to media reports, a tweet by an ISIS member in Syria, Abu Saman, said Maguire had been “martyred” along with another combatant. Coalition forces had launched six airstrikes on Jan. 13 against ISIS forces in the area.

Maguire tried to encourage Canadians to engage in attacks against their fellow

Kemptville 73’s keep rolling along and pick up speed Brian Wilson

Sports - On Wednesday, Jan. 14, the 73's visited the Nepean Sportsplex for a skirmish with the Raiders. Kemptville was right on its game, scoring 2:21 into the opening frame. Cody Hendsbee and Jason Tackett assisted on Erik Brown's goal.

They followed that up with two more goals before the game was six minutes old. Kemptville had Nepean back on their heels and Brandon Lesway and Alex Row put the 73's up 3-0. Kaelan O'Flynn, Dean Galasso, Tackett and Brown picked the helpers.

The Raiders scored once to bring the score to 3-1 at the end of the first. Owen Guy scored the only goal of the second period, his eighth of the year, from Shawn Cameron and O'Flynn to make it 4-1 at the break. Just before the 10 minute mark of the third, Jake Gaudet made it 5-1 with his fourth of the season.

That goal was set up by Tyson Kirkby and Hendsbee.

The Raiders scored twice in the last five minutes of the

Kemptville took home a 5-3 win and another two points in the standings. 73's Jason Tackett was named third star with his two assist contribution and Nick Hodgins picked up first star honours, stopping 38 of the 41 shots he faced.

Grenville. The Colts are currently in second place in the Robinson Division. Cornwall had played the night before with Smiths Falls providing the opposition. It was a tough game with the Colts hanging on for a 1-0 win. Again, Kemptville wasted no time letting them know what kind of game they were in for.

Brandon Lesway and Alex Row

set up Jake Gaudet at 3:30 of the first to give the 73's a 1-0 lead.

Erik Brown scored his 18th of the year to make it 2-0. Kemptville goaltender, Jake Tugnutt, and his brother Matt picked up the assists. Cornwall got one back with two seconds left on the clock. A screen shot pinballed off several players and found its way to the back of the net.

In the second, Shawn Cameron and Brown combined on some nifty passing to set up Owen Guy for his ninth of season, the only goal of the period. With the 73's leading 3-1 going into the third, it would prove to be interesting.

The Colts capitalized on a power play to make it close at 3-2. Gaudet's second of the game restored Kemptville's two-goal lead. With the Cornwall goalie pulled, they applied lots of pressure in the Kemptville end but the 73's would not break. They were victorious by a score of 4-2.

Jake Gaudet was selected as first star and Erik Brown picked the second star.

leading Canadians on Sunday, Jan. 18. Carleton Place, who’d only lost eight games this season, would be a test for Kemptville.

The 73's drew first blood, scoring a little more than eight minutes after the opening face off. Erik Brown deposited a puck into the Carleton Place net with the help of Cody Hendsbee.

The Canadians scored twice before the buzzer went to take a 2-1 lead into the dressing room at the break.

The 73's supplied all the offence in the second, scoring three times. First, Brandon Cole scored on the power play, assisted by Jason Tackett and Hendsbee. Next, at even strength, Jake Gaudet scored his fourth goal in the last three games. This one was set up

by Alex Row and Matt Tugnutt.

And to end the period, Kemptville took advantage of another power play when Hendsbee blasted one from the point. The terrific passing of Tackett and Brown set up this one. Leading 4-2 after two, the win was within reach. Early in the third, Brandon Lesway put Kemptville ahead 5-2. Assisting

on this goal were Tugnutt and Hendsbee. The Canadians got one back but that was all they could manage. The 73's enjoyed their third win in a row by a 5-3 margin. Erik Brown picked up another second star selection.

Cody Hendsbee was picked as the first star of the game. Since returning from injury, he has picked up one goal and five assists in three games.

The Central Canada Hockey League selected Cody Hendsbee as the Corporate Hype/ CCM Player of the Week. Hendsbee helped guide the 73’s to a perfect 3-0 with wins over the Nepean Raiders, Cornwall Colts and league-leading Carleton Place Canadians.

This week's games are both away games. On Thursday, Jan. 22, the team visits the Kanata Rec Complex to play the Lazers and then on Friday, Jan. 23, the road takes them to Hawkesbury for a game with the Hawks that will have playoff implications.

Blackhat is not a good movie. It isn’t unwatchable, or so bad you need to throw things at the screen, but it’s bad. It’s the kind of bad that’s still entertaining. It’s predictable, it’s mindless, but sometimes there’s something to be said for a predictable and mindless action film. It’s the kind of film you throw in the TV when nothing else is on, and switch your brain off. It’s not the kind of film you pay $12 for.

I was intrigued by the way Blackhat was filmed. Every scene is framed in these tight close-ups to give the film

a sense of urgency and intimacy. Other than that there’s nothing special here. It’s just a typical action film with a tired plot and stock characters.

I like the cast. I like Chris Hemsworth, maybe not as much as my wife but I like him. Viola Davis certainly doesn’t hurt the film. Leehorn Wang is very good and Wei Tang is basically just there to be the love interest, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t good at it. Again though there’s nothing special with any of the perfor-

mances. It’s the same characters you see in every action film.

Blackhat is a bad film, but it isn’t the worse film ever made. The story is unintelligent and predictable, but it does do one important thing. Blackhat goes out of its way to break some social stereotypes. Most people see computer hackers as pale geeks with asthma inhalers and pocket protectors. It’s important to know that sometimes computer hackers are Norse gods with combat skills.

This weeks 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

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

Libra, rest assured that a broken heart or bruised ego will not last too long. There are big changes ahead in your personal or professional life, so keep your eyes open.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, there is nothing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

Taking charge comes naturally to you, Scorpio. In fact, you thrive in this role. But this week you may have to play second fiddle for the good of the team.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

You seem to be operating on auto-pilot this week, Sagittarius. Your routine has become so ingrained that things are automatic. Make a few minor changes to liven things up.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that person makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can manage, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have private time.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

Aquarius, dissatisfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere. Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo. If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.

Ethel (Valliquette) Larmour

LeBlanc, Lawrence Edward “Larry” After a courageous battle with cancer, and peacefully at home with his two sons by his side, Larry LeBlanc passed away on the morning of Wednesday January 14, 2015. Born in Nanaimo BC, July 8, 1944. Shortly afterwards the LeBlanc family moved to Moncton NB. Predeceased by his parents, Edward and Dorothy LeBlanc (Moncton NB) and his common law wife of 30 years, Nicole Crews. Larry is survived by 5 children, Anna-Marie Weir (Kim) of Moncton, NB, Alanda Beatty of Moncton NB, Chad LeBlanc of Ottawa, Shawn Crews of Guelph and Todd LeBlanc (Sheilah) of Perth Ont. Larry is also survived by 4 wonderful grand children.

Riley and Dylan LeBlanc, Dawson and Daylen Beatty. Larry worked at jobs in New Brunswick and in Boston MA for a while and eventually he moved to Ottawa and started a career with Labour Union for the Public Service Alliance of Canada. This job, took him from Vancouver Island to Gander NFLD. After many years with the union, Larry decided to relocate from Ottawa to Ashton, where he and his partner Nicole, built a new house and started a new chapter of their lives. Larry also became self employed by starting up Aston Drywall and Painting, humorously calling himself “The No. 1 Crack Filler” After 25 years of doing that Larry fully retired. Ever the out doors-man, Larry loved hunting and fishing and had the chance to do some wilderness canoeing in the wilds of northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan with his beloved cousin Bob LeBlanc.

More than anything, Larry was a very social man, always enjoying the company of neighbours, family (especially reunions) visiting friends, playing cards, having a get together, chattering with the ‘old boys’ in the pubs, listening to his favourite artist Bob Segar, or watching NFL football with his best friend Jimmy Mordy. A celebration service in honour of Larry LeBlanc will be held on Saturday January 24th at the Army Navy Club, 315 Townline Road East, in Carleton Place at 1PM. Luncheon to follow. www.barkerfh.com

Ethel passed away peacefully in hospital, Smiths Falls on Thursday, January 15, 2015 shortly after celebrating her 85th birthday on December 11th. Cherished wife of Hartzell G. (Tony) Larmour and predeceased by her first husband Bernard Valliquette, her parents Merton and Mary Buchanan, her brothers Glen, Donald and Cecil and her sister Vina.

Survived by her sisters Jean Hanna and Joyce (Ozzie) Valliquette and sisters-in-law Barb Buchanan and Helen Kennedy. Loved and respected mother of Heather (Dave) Sloan, Kenneth (Robin) Valliquette, Anita (George) Hunter and step-mother of Linda (Dan) Russo and Greg Larmour (Line Cottier). Ethel loved all her grandchildren dearly; Brandon Sloan (Laura), Karen (Dave) Kirby, Erica (Steve) Ingleby, Everett and Eldon Hunter, Brett and Taylor Valliquette, Chris (Gillian), Matt and Jaquie Russo, Desiree (Jay) and Cole Larmour and she delighted in her great-grandchildren Sarah Sloan, Zoe Ingleby, Parker Kirby, Samantha, Nicolas, Madison, Scott, Ian and Mason Russo and Emily Ronan.

Ethel will be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, many wonderful friends, especially the Forbes family and Margie Ann McKinnon who provided her with care and support over the years. Ethel lived a full and rich life with many blessings.

Her wonderful career spanned over 32 years at the former St. Francis Hospital and the former North Unit of the Smiths Falls Hospital. Her love of community, church, hospital career and most importantly family will be her legacy. Family and friends were received at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, Smiths Falls on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls on Wednesday at 11 a.m. Interment, St. Francis de Sales Cemetery.

COYLE, Harold A. – 1939-2014 “Just Think” You were not here by chance, But by God’s choosing.

His hand formed you and made the person you were.

He compared you to no one else, You were one of a kind and lacked nothing He could not give you.

He allowed you to be here to fulfill his special purpose for this generation.

To everything there is a reason.

Rest in Peace Miss you each and every day.

Madge, Michael, Krista, Robin and families

IN MEMORIAM

HAGAN, Harold – Sept. 23, 1933Jan. 5, 2011 My father was a farmer.

He would plant the seeds in springtime, The corn, the beans, the hay, He prays that God would Bless it, A harvest, Lord, he prays.

He tilled and cultivated it, Provided the most tender care, Believed that come October He would reap a harvest fair.

Blue skies were his cathedral, The tractor, his alter of prayer, God meets him in the cornfields, They have communion there.

My father was a farmer That’s what he wanted to be, The values that the land taught him, He handed down to me.

I loved my farmer father, I’m thankful that he was mine...

I pray that God will Bless him, Today and for all time.

Lovingly remembered by son, Chris.

FRASER – In loving memory of our dear wife, Mom and Grandma, Carolyn who passed away January 12, 2014 They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel.

For no-one knows the heartache, James T. Beatty That lies behind our smiles, January 24, 2013 In loving memory of a beloved husband, father, grand- No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. father and great grandfather.

We want to tell you something, It is sad to walk the road alone So there won’t be any doubt, Instead of side by side You’re so wonderful to think of, But to all there comes a moment But so hard to be without.

When the ways of life divide.

You gave me years of happiness Then came sorrow and tears But you left me beautiful memories I will treasure through the years.

Sadly missed and lovingly remembered Ruth and family

IN MEMORIAM

And our dear daughter and sister, Heather, who passed away January 29, 1985.

Thirty sad and lonely years have passed, Since our great sorrow fell, How well we do remember, That sad and weary day.

God gave us the strength to meet it, The courage to bear the blow.

But what it meant to lose you Heather, No one will ever know .

Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile, But they little know the heartache, Our smiles hide all the while.

They say time heals all sorrows and helps you to forget, But time has only proved how much we miss you yet.

Always loved and sadly missed Ian (Dad) Laurie, Scott, Fraser, Joey & Ethan

Kenneth L. McGonegal December 22nd, 1951 - January 27th, 2014 In loving memory of my beloved husband, Ken, who passed away one year ago.

It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.

As part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still, in my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.

Love you forever and always, Penny GERALD HARTLEY FERGUSON August 23, 1941 - January 24, 2014 Phone Number Unknown I reach for the phone and start to dial, While your memory floods me all the while.

A panic comes over me and I feel like crying, Somewhere inside of me a part of me is dying.

It is then that I realize that it’s really true, You’re gone dear brother and I can’t talk to you.

So deep in my thoughts your voice sounds so clear.

I think if I phone you, it’s your voice I’ll hear.

It seems all a dream and if I could only wake up We would talk on the phone, We would argue and make up.

I lost my best friend - your love meant so much, If only there were phones in Heaven dear brother We would keep in touch.

Now I must learn when I reach for the phone That you now live in Heaven - phone number unknown.

God will help me to ease my pain, Till me and my brother meet again.

Sister Jeanne

McGONEGAL - In loving memory of a dear brother Ken, who passed away January 27, 2014.

We miss him in so many ways, And the things we used to do.
