Final draft budget sees 6.18% tax increase in North Grenville Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The North Grenville Council adopted the final draft budget 2015 on January 26. It includes a 6.18 per cent tax increase.

“The Committee of the Whole recommended at the last meeting (held on Jan. 19) that the final draft budget be adopted at the next council meeting,” said Brian Carré, North Grenville CAO. Carré prepared a presentation, to go over the final draft budget in detail with council.

He explained that in December 2014, senior staff identified four key budget challenges for 2015.

These include the $272,000 cut from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund in 2015, the increase in operating costs higher than the rate of inflation, the infrastructure deficit which is being addressed by a 2 per cent tax increase annually for the next 10 years and the doubling of a 10-year financial commitment to the Kemptville District Hospital in 2015 from $50,000 to $100,000.

Carré explained the tax rate increase is over and above increases to individual property assessment as conducted by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation for 2015.

“To illustrate this, in the event that the average property in North Grenville were to increase in value from

$317,380 to $333,250, which is a 5 per cent increase in value in 2015, then the municipal portion of the tax bill would increase by $101.60 (6.18 per cent) and the MPAC increase would be $87.41 (5 per cent),” said Carré.

“The total municipal portion of the tax bill increase would be $189.01 in 2015.”

He explained the breakdown of taxes, of which 47 per cent is municipal, 34 per cent is education and 19 per cent is the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

“We can’t provide you with the education amount or the county amount, as they are not set yet,” said Carré.

He further explained the breakdown of municipal taxes, of which 3.5 per cent is library services, 22.5 per cent is public works, 7.9 per cent is protective services, 0.9 per cent is hospital, 23.8 per cent is police, 2.3 per cent is corporate services, 14.8 per cent is capital, 3.3 per cent is planning and development, 2.8 per cent is recreation, 13.8 per cent is the North Grenville Municipal Center and 4.4 per cent for waste services.

“The police cost is the highest we, as taxpayers, have to pay,” said Carré.

He explained there is to be a reduction of $191,430 in policing costs over the next four years.

Carré went over the 2015 budget highlights.

Beaver sleep over at Limerick Forest Chalet Community – The Oxford Mills and Merrickville Beavers gathered at the Limerick Forest Chalet on Friday, Jan. 23 for a sleep over. The first craft they did was an Olaf (snowman from the movie Frozen) inspired night light. Following the craft, the Beavers went outside for a campfire, with hotdogs and s’mores. The youngsters enjoyed travelling the trails of Limerick Forest the following morning. In this photo the Beavers are showing off their Olaf night lights.

Unique health care model puts patients first in Rideau-Tay corridor sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Complex care patients throughout the Rideau-Tay corridor are experiencing health care like never before through the newly-introduced Health Link model that puts the patient’s voice at the centre of care. “It’s not what’s the matter with you, but what matters to you and it’s a very different question,� said Peter McKenna, executive director of Rideau Community Health Services. He also co-chairs the Rideau-Tay Health Link with Dr. Peter Cunniffe.

The Rideau-Tay Health Link covers the communities of Lanark Highlands, Perth, Rideau Lakes, Merrickville-Wolford, Smiths Falls and Montague where approximately 54,000 people reside.

The Rideau-Tay Health Link is one of seven in the South East LHIN and is a model of care that starts off by asking complex patients what their health care goals are. Complex patients are anyone with four or more active chronic conditions. The Rideau-Tay Health Link committee meetings monthly and includes patient representation. The meetings open each month with a retelling of a patient’s story. “They tell us that story to keep us real,� McKenna added. “Patients help us design the system.�

Maureen McIntyre, project manager for Health Link was hired this summer to oversea implementation of the health care approach following Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care approval of their business plan and funding.

Since then McIntyre has worked with 20 patients to create a co-ordinated care plan. Individuals are being identified right now by their physicians and health care services for referral to the program. “Certainly, our goal is to move that

forward fairly quickly,� McIntyre said.

They estimate approximately 400 patients in the region would be considered complex care patients at any one time.

Once a patient and his or her family accept enrollment into the Health Link, an in-home interview is done where their wishes are discussed and potential support organizations are identified. There are currently 15 health care organizations who have been working with McKenna for the last two years to launch this program. In January 2013 about 20 doctors from the region gathered to hear about Health Link and its intended benefits to their patients. That day about 60 per cent of them supported moving this program ahead. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has been part of the collaboration to bring Health Link to the region from the start. Beverley McFarlane, president and CEO, is pleased to be part of a program that looks to improve the system of care for five per cent of the population’s most chronically ill residents. “We care for people as a community and as a continuum,� McFarlane said.

The hospital doesn’t carry statistics on the number of complex care pa-

tients they see in a year, but expected the numbers would increase during flu season, etc.

McFarlane applauded the RideauTay Health Link for embracing the true mission of Health Link, which is putting patients first and turning up the volume for their voices to be heard. “The Rideau-Tay Health Link, in my opinion, they are pretty far ahead in terms of a lot of Health Links in Ontario,� McFarlane added. “It’s the right people who got together early.�

The Health Link model is currently being rolled out across the province, but is also seen in many countries around the world. The hope is to improve the quality of care for these complex patients, reduce the number of hospital visits and therefore save health care dollars in the long run. “This is to get in front of the crisis,�

McKenna said.

In addition to meeting these objectives, Health Links have been found to increase collaboration among health care professionals beyond one patient’s care and realize improved efficiencies through joint efforts and the removal of redundancies.

Help needed to solve break and enter News – Police are looking for assistance from the public to assist with identifying person or person involved in a break and enter on Iron Mine Road, Lanark Highlands. Sometime on Jan. 24, person or persons broke into a garage and stole a number of items.

If you have information on this crime or any others, please call Crime Stoppers at the toll free at 1-800-222Tips. All calls are confidential and are not taped.

“Organizations are working together like never before,� McKenna said.

One potential outcome could be improvements to the end-of-life care available locally. “We don’t have a good end-of-life care system,� McKenna said.

By engaging with the patients and empowering them to direct their way through the health care system, it is hoped many things, including end-oflife care can be addressed. McIntyre explains a patient’s health care goal could be to die at home. If this is the

case then their co-ordinated care plan would work backwards and look at what supports need to be available (be it medication, palliative care services, telehealth appointments, etc.) to make this a reality.

According to statistics from the South East LHIN, one per cent of Ontario’s population accounts for approximately 34 per cent of the province’s health care costs (or $15.2 billion). By 2030, the health care system is projected to be about 80 per cent of the provincial budget.

Local Lyme group stands by doctor guilty of misconduct Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Lanark Fights Lyme (LFL) is standing by a doctor who has been found guilty of professional misconduct – and adding that she, like other doctors who don’t subscribe to conventional thinking on fighting Lyme disease, is being targeted by regulators.

LFL hosted Dr. Jennifer Armstrong for a speech she gave last February at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, and, according to the group’s president, Myrna Lee, said that Armstrong is “absolutely” welcome back to speak in Lanark County.

In its ruling, released on Dec. 15, 2014, the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons’ discipline committee “found that Dr. Armstrong committed an act of professional misconduct, in that she has failed to maintain the standard of practise of the profession with respect to one patient. Dr. Armstrong admitted to this allegation.”

In its ruling, an unnamed 19-year-old woman first visited Dr. Armstrong in December of 2010. She did not have a family doctor at the time, but Armstrong was told by the patient’s mother that the woman, whom the college would only identify as “Patient A,” had made previous suicide attempts and been hospitalized. Patient A’s mother provided a summary of her daughter’s medical history,

including “a history of cognitive decline and seizures.” ‘A’ had been treated by an environmental medicine physician and “had improved considerably.”

Patient A attended Armstrong’s office in Ottawa three times and on each occasion, the committee found that “Dr. Armstrong failed to perform any mental health assessments. Dr. Armstrong recommended a regime of IV vitamins which were administered between December 2010 and April 2011. Dr. Armstrong also treated Patient A with minerals and amino acids that lowered Patient A’s thyroid medication in response to tests.”

In May of 2011, Armstrong heard that Patient A, whom she had last treated the month before, had killed herself.

According to the ruling, the college received a report about Patient A’s death from the Office of the Chief Coroner in September of 2012. Shortly afterwards, the college commenced an investigation into Armstrong’s care of Patient A. “Dr. Armstrong took no steps to investigate or treat Patient A’s mental health issues,” wrote the college’s investigators. “Nor did she take any steps to assist Patient A in finding a primary care physician or other specialist. Dr. Armstrong did not refer Patient A to a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional.”

The report also found that “there were no conventional treatments of-

fered or documented for her psychiatric symptoms.” It was also found that Armstrong’s decision to concentrate “on giving vitamins, minerals and amino acids” were “not the standard of care. Her focus regarding this patient was on chemical sensitivies and metal toxicities.”

The discipline committee ruled that not only would Armstrong have to pay the college “costs in the amount of $4,460,” but that she would have to “engage in clinical supervision and a reassessment of her practice in accordance with the terms of her undertaking.” She was also directed to “require that all of her current patients have a family physician or certified specialist who will provide concurrent care,” with whom she could communicate. Her current patients have been given until Jan. 31 to find family doctors or she will have to cease treating them. She will also not be allowed to take on any new patients who do not have family doctors.

She also must post, in all of her examination rooms, and her waiting room, a notice telling patients that they must have a family doctor in order for her to treat them.

Lee’s daughter is a patient of Armstrong’s and confirmed to this newspaper that, during a visit to Armstrong’s Nepean office this month, that the signs ordered by the college were indeed up.

Skate the Lake carves up the Big Rideau for another year he remarked.

“We have an ideal day and it’s loads of fun,” Bongers added.

The ice was in near-perfect condition as well, thanks in part to a mild spell a few days before the event. “Again this year we have amazing ice,” Bongers said. “The warmer weather last Sunday smoothed everything out for us.”

Bongers was even more excited by the increasingly popularity in the sporting event. “...Our online registration showed that 40 per cent of the people registering have never attended it, so that’s great,” he stated.

Community – Hundreds of metal blades heated up the ice on Big Rideau Lake in Portland Saturday, Jan. 24 for the 11th edition of Skate the Lake.

Despite strong winds, the mild weather provided perfect conditions for the international speed skating marathon around a one-kilometre oval, presented

by Portland Outdoors. After Portland Outdoors president John Bongers officially cut the ice during the opening ceremonies, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark shot the pistol to kick off the first event of the day, the 5K race. It was followed by 10K, 25K and 50K distances.

Skate the Lake veteran Jake Maarse was a force again this year, claiming top spot in the 10K with a time of 24:04.864 and second in both the 5K and 25K. First in the 5K went to Paul McCloskey (11:40.616); Adrian Loewen earned gold in the 25K with a time of 55:02.366; and first in the 50K was Sergio Almeralla (1:54:48.956). Bongers also raced in the 50K, completing 50 laps around the oval in 2:24:37.461.

As he made the rounds Saturday morning chatting with visitors, Bongers said the event was a well-oiled machine, thanks to a large host of volunteers.

“Our volunteers have done an amazing job. I can’t believe how good things are going,”

Seconds after LeedsGrenville MP Gord Brown shot the pistol to kick off the 10K race for Skate the Lake Jan. 24 in Portland, skaters race down the 1K ice surface, above. Left, Canadian curler Rachel Homan, left, and Olympic rower Derek O’Farrell were special guests.

I grew up on a purebred dairy farm just south east of North Gower in the small village of Carsonby. I grew up with good values and was involved with showing cattle at all the local fairs and Toronto as well. In 1979 I got into the trucking industry and that career took me to some beautiful places and I made a great deal of friends over the years.In the summer of 2000 I had a career change that was brand new to me, I entered the car business. For just shy of 15 years I worked for another GM dealer selling new and used vehicles to many many people over the years.

As the 2014 year was winding down my thoughts were to try something different.

Well before I could even put on my thinking cap on the team at Myers Kemptville NEIL WILLIAMS and I sat down and now here I am. The idea of a small town that is growing at a steady rate and people that really like to be as helpful as they can be and the polite atmosphere that comes from a smaller store really appeals to me and my family. I look forward to working with many of you.

Olympic visit Speed skating wasn’t the only item on the menu at Skate the Lake, however. Visitors could enjoy a bowl of “snert” (a traditional Dutch pea soup) and a Skate Tail (Portland’s take on the Beaver Tail), play a game of shinny on the ice hockey rink, get some skating in or try their hand at curling. And who better to give some pointers than renowned Ottawa curler Rachel Homan, who, along with fellow Olympian Derek O’Farrell, made an appearance during the day.

It was some welcome down time for Homan, whose team

won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts championship in 2014 and is set to defend the title at this year’s event, beginning Feb. 14 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Her rink is currently the number three women’s curling team in the world.

“It’s my first year here,” Homan said, adding she was going to try to take a spin around the ice, but wasn’t sure if her skates were up to snuff. “It’s amazing ice; it looks perfect.”

Perhaps the ice on the Big Rideau didn’t agree with Homan as earlier in the morning, she and O’Farrell faced off against one another on the curling rink, with O’Farrell emerging as the victor.

“The fact that they have a curling rink here is pretty cool too,” Homan said.

“Except that you’re 0-1 today,” O’Farrell laughed.

This was O’Farrell’s second visit to Skate the Lake, having attended last year during chillier conditions.

“I’m just happy it’s not -10 million degrees!” he joked.

she said. Her daughter suffered from severe anxiety, stress and sleeplessness.

She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was put on anti-depressants that, she said, put her into the hospital. However, once her physical symptoms were treated, “within a month of treatment, it disappeared. Without treatment for the physical ailments, the mental health issues would have increased.”

She noted that she is not surprised that Armstrong was called before the college’s discipline committee.

“Any doctor who treats Lyme disease goes under investigation for one reason or another,” Lee charged, adding further that once Armstrong started treating Lyme disease that “is when she started to have legal problems… She’s

From page 4

Alicia Lee had recently parted ways with her own family doctor and Armstrong told her that, to continue seeing her, she needed to get a new family doctor before the end of the month.

“She has been telling all of her patients that, and the signs are up,” Lee said. “We don’t feel that this particular (Patient A) case… really impacts on her treatment of Lyme disease.”

Lee said she feels that Lyme disease often comes with a mental health aspect, in which she sees parallels with the Patient A case.

“Doctors want to treat that mental health issue (in a Lyme case) and they often neglect the physical ailments,”

2014 in The Perth Courier, Tom Bowes introduced Armstrong to the crowd gathered at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Feb. 19, 2014, for her speech, entitled “Testing, Diagnosing and Treating Lyme: It’s Complicated.”

Bowes extolled the virtues of Armstrong’s work in treating him.

“She researches everything before she puts you on anything,” Bowes said.

In explaining how she practices environmental medicine, Armstrong, said that “we look at the root causes of illness, all of the things that can make people sick.” She added, “By treating underlying causes of illness… patients would usually get way better.”

There does not appear to be any bio-

not the first one that this (has) happened to. That sounds paranoid. But we’re finding that.”

In her research, she has seen several doctors across the country who have either retired, had their license suspended, or simply stopped taking Lyme cases, because of their challenge to Lyme disease orthodoxy.

“It’s never, ‘You have to stop treating Lyme disease.’ (It’s) you have to stop prescribing long-term antibiotics,” said Lee. “(But) I’m more interested in moving forward, more than looking into these conspiracies.” Besides, “I don’t have any evidence. It’s all anecdotal…

It’s unfortunate that she had to be distracted by that (case).”

In an article published on Feb. 27,

graphical information for Armstrong on her clinic’s website (though there is still a picture of her), the Ottawa Environmental Health Clinic, but a biographical sketch posted on the web site of the Ottawa-based Canadian Institute of Child Health, posted in 2007, said that she was, at the time, president of the Canadian Society for Environmental Medicine (CSEM) and sat on the board of directors of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), based in Wichita, Kansas.

There does not appear to be a web site for the CSEM but contact details found online list the address as being the same as Armstrong’s clinic. Armstrong is not listed as a 2014-15 member of the AAEM’s board of directors.

Smiths Falls takes trophy in kettle campaign challenge Monday and Friday, luncheons will be scaled back to the first Monday of the month and every Friday in Smiths Falls starting this February.

In order to balance the books last year, programming in Perth was cut, staff laid off and facilities combined.

Today, the Perth thrift store can be found at 95 Wilson Street West beside the tracks and across from Foodsmiths.

“The stores are the only other real fundraiser we have to keep the social work going,” Major Cameron said.

A new fundraiser is planning to be introduced this coming year, but details will be made available at a later date.

Currently, Major Cameron and one other staff member carry the Salvation Army social services caseload. The organization is working to not only provide immediate support, but to address the issues that cause these situations.

Coming up this year, the Salvation Army will be partnering with United Way of Lanark County to offer Low Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) and after hours emergency housing.

News – Smiths Falls council is ringing the bell in celebration after earning the Christmas Bell Ringer Trophy.

The annual friendly competition pits the council members of Smiths Falls ($1,787.69), Beckwith ($672.55), Perth ($561.42), Merrickville ($492.72), Mississippi Mills ($959.23) and Carleton Place ($1,113.68) against each other to see who raises the most in one day for the non-profit organization. Accumulatively, the area politicians raised $5,587.29 this year of which $1,787.69 came from Smiths Falls. Last year, Beckwith won the trophy.

Coun. Jay Brennan of Smiths Falls remarked “how giving people seemed to be that day. It’s a competition, but the real winner is the Salvation Army.”

Merrickville was given a special mention as their volunteers worked outdoors in three shifts that day to raise their funds. Everyone who took part in the unique fundraiser enjoyed his or her time Dec. 13, including Carleton Place mayor Louis Antonakos.

“It really was a lot of fun,” Antonakos added. “Next year is this council and we’re going to win.”

Carleton Place OPP took home the emergency services award for the third straight year in a row. Last December their volunteers, which included auxiliary officers and community services officer, Sean Trahan, raised $2,801.42.

“There were some really generous people that day,” Sgt. Rob Croth of the Carleton Place OPP added. “We’ll definitely be back next year to help out.”

Other emergency services donations include: Perth OPP (1,304.81), Smiths Falls OPP ($635.16) and Smiths Falls Police Services ($304.35).

Sgt. Croth acknowledged Const.

Dave Bird of Perth OPP who initially got the Carleton Place detachment involved in the fundraising initiative.

“Dave recognized that the Salvation Army were short on volunteers,” Sgt. Croth said.

The kettle campaign is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Salvation Army and assists them in offering a number of programs to the region, including crisis assistance, a food pantry, community luncheons, and access to camp for children. While a national organization, each Salvation Army site is responsible for raising its own operational funds and receives no outside donations from other organizations. This

Butting out for good

ditorial – Quitting smoking can be one of the hardest things we face, but lucky for Lanark County and Leeds-Grenville residents, help is here.

The province of Ontario recently announced a new initiative, MyQuit.ca, designed to personalize the process of quitting smoking for people. Recognizing that every smoker’s journey is different and a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for all, MyQuit.ca was developed by former smokers and healthcare professionals involving eight health partners from across eastern Ontario. Locally, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is rolling out the program.

The process seems quite user-friendly, with smokers able to access information and services through a website or just by making a phone call. Telephone coaching, online support and one-on-one, as well as group sessions can also aid in the journey towards butting out that bad habit.

Best of all, it’s free, so there’s no ex-

cuse for putting off that new year’s resolution for another year. With a variety of options, you can create a quit smoking plan that works for you.

According to the Ontario Lung Association, one in five Ontarians still smokes and tobacco is the cause of 13,000 premature deaths across the province each year. George Habib, president and chief executive officer of the association says that “it remains Canada’s leading cause of preventable illness and death.”

Over the years, the Smoke-Free Ontario Act has been put in place with legislation that no longer allows smokers to light up in public places. As of Jan. 1 of this year, another regulation is being enforced restricting smoking on children’s playgrounds or publicly-owned sports fields, as well as bars and restaurant patios. Tobacco sales are also prohibited on university and college campuses. The province has taken a strong stand, showing that it’s no longer a smoker’s world.

However, habits are hard to break, but they bend a little easier with support.

Freshly fallen snow was perfect for wagon wheel game Lifestyle – It had snowed heavily through the night, and when we got to the Northcote School, Cecil was holding fort at the front gate. “Don’t walk in the yard... stay on the path to the door,” he instructed all of us as we neared the school.

good humour, excused Emerson and Cecil long before recess so they could go out and stamp out the wheel in the new snow. They came in just as the rest of the pupils were told they could get on their winter garb and go outside.

Our recess back then was only 15 minutes long, but that was time enough for all of us to have a quick run around the wheel, with the promise from Cecil that we would get down to a more serious game when it came lunch time.

All the while he kept warning us not to put a foot off the path leading to the wheel, or to step off the wheel or spokes or we would have him to deal with.

Finally, the big CPR clock at the front of the room told it was lunchtime. We ate up in a hurry,

because we couldn’t wait to get outside to the wheel in the snow.

Cecil and Emerson were the first to head out the door, and the roars we heard from outside could be witnessed over in Admaston!

Dillon Hillier returns home from volunteer fight against Islamic State desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News - Dillon Hillier, the son of local MPP Randy Hillier, has returned home to Canada.

The Canadian army veteran, who saw a tour of duty in Afghanistan with the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry (PPLI), went to fight against the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq in November.

It was obvious he had had a good run first. He had followed the scent of his owner round and round, and he came to rest on the hub, and you couldn’t tell where the spokes ended and the rim began. The snow game had been ruined.

It wasn’t unusual for Cecil’s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil.

As far as Cecil was concerned Sport (it seemed to me back then that everyone had a dog called Sport) could do no wrong. Well, that day Sport’s owner was not at all pleased!

“Git,” Cecil yelled. “Git home with you.” Well, it seemed Sport knew an order from his owner when he heard it.

But instead of going out to the gate by the path, he took another cut around the yard, with his belly close to the ground, and whatever was left

Hillier added that Dillon would now be “taking time to readjust and reunite with friends and family at home before he is available for any further public comment or availability.”

Dillon had gone over to serve with the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in northern Iraq last November.

“I’ve wanted to do something like this for years,” Dillon wrote in a battlefield interview with The Perth Courier. “Fighting for the Kurds is a good cause.”

He praised his Kurdish brothers in arms, calling them “a professional

of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever.

Cecil and my brother Emerson went and hung from the gate, which had been opened, and it would stay that way for the rest of the winter.

I wasn’t too disappointed in the turn of events, because I couldn’t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag.

It remained clear and cold for days, and the mutilated wheel did little to make Cecil or Emerson any more easy to get along with. They mostly hung out at the gate at recess and lunch time, and days later Velma said she knew for a fact Sport was kept in the cow byre, as the two boys waited patiently for another heavy snowfall.

Community – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBSLC) is excited to once again be partnering with the local Tim Hortons restaurants for the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event on Feb. 21. Last year this event raised more than $80,000, with more than 700 bowlers coming out to support the event.

Smiths Falls Tim Hortons’ owner, Tanya Bond and her team enjoy lacing up their shoes and bowling for this fun event.

Tim Hortons has been a great title sponsor for BBBSLC as well as many other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in eastern Ontario. Tim Hortons not only financially supports Big Brothers Big Sisters in the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event, they also promote the event, collect pledges, provide prizes and complimentary drink coupons, and bowl during the event.

According to Dave and Lisa Peters, Carleton Place Tim Horton owners, “Our employees are very excited about Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake. They enjoy raising funds and bowling as a team; knowing they are improving the lives of local children.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is a not for profit volunteer driven organization which helps children develop to their unique potential through consistent, dependable and unconditional adult friendship.

“We really appreciate Tim Hortons being our title sponsor for this cornerstone event that accounts for a large portion of our annual budget,” said Beth Sinclair, resource development manager of BBBSLC. With the help of Tim Hortons’ title sponsorship, more mentoring programs are able to be funded.

We are proud to be the title sponsor of the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event because we know that the funds donated and raised provide more children with mentors, according to Liz Wood, Smiths Falls Tim Horton’s manager.

The pair’s visit was made possible through the RBC Olympians program.

“They (RBC) are a sponsor of the event and brought us in to try to reach out to kids in the community,” O’Farrell said.

Following the individual competitive races, a 5 X 1K relay race was held with “The Snurf Chasers” of Syracuse, New York (captained by Isabel Crovella) taking first place. Second went to “Cat in the Hat” of Ottawa, with Pegi CrawfordNewlands as captain; and third place was a tie between “Harmony Landing” (local captain Eric Steigerwauld) and “Chairman of the Board”, captained by Rebecca Chant, who got some help from O’Farrell.

As the competitive races concluded by early afternoon, visitors could also take a sleigh ride, take part in the Special Olympics skate, sponsored by RBC or try out the Kids 5K race for those under 12. In the boys category, first went to Lucius Peladeau, second to Josh Mohns and Aden Dube was third. Representing the girls, Sarah Corvella earned first place, followed by Isobel Corvella in second and Hannah Mohns in third.

After a full day spent on the ice, music and a laser light show by DJ Johnny 5 kept the party going into the evening, which was capped off with a fireworks display.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Campus. The appointment was at 8:15 on a Monday morning. I knew the traffic on the drive in to the city would be bedlam.

I’m of Irish descent and therefore I’m a great believer in Murphy’s Law. “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”

So after a good weather weekend – cold but no precipitation – flurries fell overnight Sunday and continued into the early morning hours of Monday. Coupled with a stiff breeze from the north, I knew when I stepped out the door that this wasn’t going to be a pleasant drive. My ABS brakes confirmed that at the first intersection. It was really greasy!

Fortunately I had thought to top up my windshield wiper fluid reservoir. That turned out to be a very good move.

Endless tail lights Highway 7 becomes four lanes at McNeely Ave. in Carleton Place. It was 6:30 a.m. when I set off and in the winter morning darkness the picture which greeted me was truly amazing.

Ahead stretched an endless string of red tail lights, as far as the eye could see. Considering that some 70 per cent of the workforce from Carleton Place toils in Ottawa and its expansive suburbs, I shouldn’t have been surprised.

Fortunately the traffic was moving although with flurries flying and the wind whipping the dry snow across the eastwest artery the speed was averaging 70 kilometres per hour (kph) rather than the usual 100-plus on the busy road.

Anyone who knows Ottawa knows the Riverside Hospital isn’t easy to access. The facility is located on Riverside Drive, east of Bank St. in one of the busiest sections of the nation’s capital.

So, which route to take?

My decision was made for me when, nearing the Stittsville turn-off the traffic slowed considerably approaching the Highway 417 interchange. I was driving bumper to bumper.

I knew I didn’t have time to sit in the traffic jam on the Queensway, as locals call the main highway that bisects

Ottawa.

I decided to take Hazeldean Road, Robertson Road and then Baseline Road. Baseline eventually links with Riverside Drive on which the hospital is located.

Once I was off Highway 7 there was less traffic but the going was more treacherous.

The higher the traffic volume during a snow storm, the more white stuff is blown off the road surface.

Traffic lights were the big problem and as I watched the minutes melt from the dashboard clock I wondered if I would make it on time? It was already 7 a.m. as I made my way past Stittsville and toward Hazeldean.

The road was slippery and some of the commuter jockeys weren’t using their heads which made it even more dangerous.

Speeding, lane hopping (without using indicators) and tailgating are an epidemic on our roads.

Combine bad driving with poor weather and the risk of collision climbs exponentially.

Leaving Bells Corners and approaching Baseline Road, I encountered a sudden obstacle.

A car stopped at a green light, not moving.

I wondered if the vehicle had stalled?

“Just my luck. He’s broken down in my lane,” I thought.

But the tail lights were on so I hit the horn. The male driver was startled into action and moved off, although ridiculously slowly. He too proceeded onto Baseline. At the next light the same thing happened.

“A distracted driver,” I said to myself.

To my consternation the motorist continued his herkyjerky course ahead of me.

Finally I saw an opening and moved to the left, driving past him. The man was so busy texting that he didn’t even see the raised finger that passed on his left. Unbelievable!

Considering all the traffic signals on Baseline and the speed of the tightly packed vehicles, I wasn’t making much progress. Time was flying past.

“Imagine having to fight this traffic every morning,” I said out loud.

I said some other things too

Final push By 7:55 I finally saw the Baseline-Riverside intersection ahead. But there was no advantage to be gained as the seemingly endless stream of vehicles moved doggedly toward downtown Ottawa.

I had also forgotten that on Baseline Road you have to pass Riverside Drive and move to the right to reach an access ramp. It was interesting but with the help of a couple of nice drivers, who slowed to give me space, I was able to complete the manoeuvre.

I managed to negotiate the busy intersection of Riverside and Bank and thanks to a userfriendly parking situation at the hospital I arrived in the nick of time.

I told my wife that by doing the 100-metre dash from the elevator to the clinic I arrived at the reception desk at 8:14 – one minute early.

The young lady who performed a vision test and put drops in my eyes told me she drives to Riverside Hospital every day from the Renfrew area. On this particular morning, in the bad weather, it took her three hours to complete the excursion.

I told her she must really love her job to “take that much punishment.” She smiled and nodded in the affirmative.

The good news is that after a thorough examination by the specialist and his staff there was no tear discovered in the deep recesses of my left eye.

The doctor told me the flashing lights I have been experiencing on and off for quite some time should eventually dissipate.

It also appears I won’t have to make that early morning odyssey again anytime soon.

I would not want to commute to and from Ottawa, or any other big city, on a daily basis. I don’t know how the regulars do it? I guess you can get used to anything. But it’s definitely not for me.

I have always loved working in Carleton Place where the “daily commute” is measured in minutes, not hours.

These days I work from my home office and I couldn’t be happier with the arrangement.

When snowstorms are raging and the freezing rain is slashing down I can look out the window and thumb my nose. Nowhere to go and all day to get there! It suits me just fine.

Lifestyle – It is just before 7 in the morning and I am on my way to an important eye appointment in Ottawa. I’m heading east on Highway 7 and it is snowing and blowing to beat the band. I’m listening to Mark Sutcliffe and his morning co-host Shelley McLean, on CFRA radio, in hopes of getting a traffic update.

Mark: “Now here’s Shelley with the latest traffic update.”

Shelley: “Thanks Mark.

There are a few trouble spots on the roads this morning with flurries still flying. There’s a car in the median on Highway 416 just north of Kemptville. A vehicle has struck the curb on Woodroffe Avenue near Carling and police are dealing with a fender bender on the Parkway, eastbound near Island Park Drive.

“All routes are slower than usual this morning due to snow and blowing snow. On the 417 east, traffic is crawling from the split westbound. In the west it’s stop and go from Carp Road, eastbound all the way to Bayshore.”

So, not exactly a great report.

I’m a regular user of Highway 7, driving to and from our home in Carleton Place to Stittsville and Kanata to visit family or do business.

There is no question the four-lane Highway 7 is a huge advantage. Unless you are travelling at rush hour that is. I don’t drive to or from Ottawa during rush hour unless I absolutely have to. This was one of those rare occasions.

Regular commuters will tell you the relatively recent widening of Highway 7 is of limited use at rush hour. “It gets you to the jam earlier,” they say wryly.

“The jam” is the daily stop and go traffic on busy Highway 417 as the commuter army from the west descends on Kanata and downtown Ottawa. The same situation is repeated late in the day when the homeward march is in full swing.

I’m rarely on Highway 416, which connects Ottawa with communities to the south including fast growing Kemptville and Prescott.

However, from all accounts it is a little more user friendly. Until it connects with Highway 417, that is!

On this occasion I had no choice but to join the masses and try to make my way. There was concern that I might have a small tear inside my left eye, so I was quickly referred by my local optometrist to a specialist at the Ottawa Hospital, Riverside

Maude Barlow addresses future of freshwater at gala in Perth News – Renowned author and citizens’ advocate Maude Barlow delivered an inspiring message about freshwater resources at the inaugural Watersheds Gala on Thursday, Jan. 22 in Perth. “’Anything else you are interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water,’” she said, quoting Carl Sagan. “’Don’t sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet.’”

“The Future of Our Freshwater” event was a fundraiser for Watersheds Canada, known as the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds since 2002.

Almost 200 people were on hand at Code’s Mill on the Park for the unveiling of CSW’s new brand identity as Watersheds Canada, along with news of an agreement penned with the Canadian Wildlife Federation to package one of its key programs, Love Your Lake, on a national platform.

Executive director Barbara King indicated the new identity will help support the organization’s growth and future success as a registered Canadian charity. “We chose to take this opportunity to rebrand our organization to better represent our national scope of protecting and restoring our freshwater environments,” she said.

Love Your Lake is a shoreline assessment and stewardship program that gives landowners resources to help improve the health of their shorelines and lakes. Another Watersheds Canada program is The Natural Edge, which is a shoreline naturalization program for waterfront property owners to help them restore shorelines with native foliage along the water’s edge.

As part of her keynote address at the gala, Barlow, who is the national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, author, co-founder of the Blue Water Project and Senior Advisor on Water to the President of the United Nations General Assembly, emphasized the global water crisis and water security are threats to the planet.

“Close to a billion people in our world don’t have access to clean water,” she said. “It is the biggest killer

The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, now known as Watersheds Canada, held its first Watersheds Gala on Jan. 22 at Code’s Mill on the Park in Perth. Above, almost 200 people were on hand for the unveiling of Watershed Canada’s new identity. Renowned author and citizens’ advocate Maude Barlow, right, was the keynote speaker, emphasizing the global water crisis and water security threats around the globe. of children…every 3.5 seconds a child dies from a water-borne illness.”

She highlighted water supply as a global issue, citing the loss of half the rivers in China since the 1990s and the consequences of the loss of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil leading to a country in water crisis. She emphasized the importance of not treating water as a resource, but as a necessity that has to be nurtured.

“We have no national drinking water standards, which is a particular issue in First Nation communities, and we have no national standards on sew-

age disposal. The federal government has taken steps to remove some of the laws we do have,” Barlow stated.

She noted Ontario has already lost 72 per cent of its watersheds and called for the “critical” need for a crackdown on water-taking permits, the development of water budgets and restrictions on what kinds of materials and chemicals are transported on the Great Lakes.

“There could not be a more important time for you to support Watersheds Canada,” she said. “I pledge my support…I urge you to support this

wonderful group.”

Barlow urged the creation of citizen-based water watchers and called for “a new water ethic that considers the impact on water whenever developing policies…We have to change our relationship with water quickly.”

Barlow left the audience considering four things people can do to protect water. First is to “conserve, protect and restore watersheds” by not moving water, not dumping waste into it and by providing a long-term assessment of watersheds.

“When we give nature a chance, it

comes back,” she said. “If you know you have limited resources, come together and set limits.”

Secondly, she urged the enforcement of existing water protection laws and to re-instate the ones that have been lost. This includes creating national standards for drinking water and sewage, as well as conducting groundwater mapping.

Thirdly, with industrial farming and food production using massive amounts of water, she condoned growing “our food in a more local and sustainable way” as well as examining trade agreements for the movement of water in products that are traded.

Finally, she urged people to recognize that water has rights, too. “Water belongs to the earth, other species and the future…Current laws see nature as property. Nature needs to be at the heart of our laws.”

The master of ceremonies for the event was Michael Runtz, a leading Canadian professor, naturalist, nature photographer and natural history author. He expressed his love for water because it supports the things he loves most in his way of life.

“Water supports nature. Water is an amazing part of our environment, and by being here we are helping to support it,” he noted.

The gala was supported by sponsors Freshwater Future, Leo Adams Investments, McIntosh Perry, MEC, the Sharbot Group Inc. and TD Canada Trust, as well as dozens of contributors for silent auction items.

Full Circle Theatre turns up the heat with August: Osage County play this February ing comparison – and for very exciting theatre.

The Full Circle Theatre (FCT) has been full to the brim lately with a string of sold-out or nearly sold-out concerts and movie events. Film Night International, with a near record turnout for their winter series opener last week, will return Feb. 4 with the American film Love Is Strange, starring Alfred Molina and John Lithgow, while music returns to FCT on Feb. 25 when Charles MacPhail presents Dave Gunning in concert.

Sliding in between, though, August: Osage County is bleeding-edge theatre that pulls no punches. Audiences should know that it contains STRONG language, but, at the same time, makes you laugh at it anyway. Don’t shy away from what may seem like a dark show – this is theatre you will be glad you have seen.

All the information about tickets and times for all events at Full Circle Theatre is at www.barndoorproductions.ca or you can call 613-267-1884.

Start making plans for cope with AuAshley Kulp/METROLAND gust in February at Full Circle Theatre Community – Fight Night to benefit local hockey player Neil Doef was held at the Smiths Falls Econolodge – it could be a flood!

Submitted by BarnDoor Produc- Jan. 24. Prior to the main event, junior combat trainers with zendragon of Smiths Falls, got to show off their tions. skills. Above, Logan Lumsden, left, faces off against Nick Lackey.

Arts – It’s -22 degrees as we write this, but February promises to be blistering hot at Full Circle Theatre when Tracy Letts’ astonishing dark comedy, August: Osage County, becomes BarnDoor Productions’ 99th show.

Letts’ play won nearly every award there was to be won for its premiere in 2008: the Tony Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award, the New York Critics’ Circle Award, the Theatre World Award – and the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

For a comedy to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize is nearly unheard of, but it was felt that the show had the depth required to be considered for the most prestigious American literary award there is.

Don’t let the recent, star-studded movie version of the show influence you. The movie lost track of where it was going, but the play is very much a comedy, although a dark and a razor sharp one. You will laugh and chuckle and then say, “Oh, should I have done that?” That is what makes the show so remarkable: it presents situations that make people laugh out loud, and then asks them to wonder why they did. The New York Times called it “Gripping and ferociously funny” and it is.

With a cast of 13, BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has had to stretch its resources, but found a strong group of players, both familiar faces and newcomers to BDP, who are tackling the intricate dialogue and action of the show. The show is set in modern-day Oklahoma – Osage County, Oklahoma, in fact – but it tells a family story that has roots deep in the Dust Bowl of the Depression – while being as up-to-date as a cell phone.

The show was deliberately chosen to be a companion piece to BarnDoor Productions’ season-closer. Ending their 20th anniversary season with their 100th production, BDP have chosen Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. August: Osage County and Death of a Salesman are two Pulitzer Prize winning takes on the American Dream, separated by 60 years and half a continent. The similarities and differences between these two much-honoured plays make for interest-

Depp’s latest film jaw-droppingly funny Trivia challenge attracting new teams MOVIE: Mortdecai STARRING: Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn DIRECTOR: David Koepp RATING: 14A Entertainment – There are times when you go to the movies because you want to be moved. There are times when you want to be challenged. There are times when you want to think. Then there are the times when you go to see a film like Mortdecai.

When an art restorer is murdered and a famous painting is stolen there’s only one man British MI5 agent Martland (Ewan McGregor) can turn to. That man is Lord Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp). He is in fact the last man Martland wants to turn to, but no one knows the seedy underbelly of the art world better than Mortdecai.

Mortdecai is reluctant to help.

Martland appeals to him as a loyal British subject, and when that doesn’t work he points out that Mortdecai and his wife Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow) owe the British government $8 million in back taxes. Mortdecai then agrees

My Take

Mark haskins

to find the painting, for a modest finder’s fee of course.

Along with his trusty man servant and personal thug Jock (Paul Bettany) Mortdecai embarks to find the missing piece of art. A piece of art that Mortdecai soon learns is the key to uncovering secret bank accounts filled with Nazi gold. Mortdecai is shot at by a terrorist, chased down by Russians, and forced to endure the horrors of sunny California. It’s almost more than his man servant can handle.

Mortdecai is silly bordering on the absurd. It’s also hysterical bordering on genius. I haven’t seen anything quite like it since the Pink Panther (the original not the re-make with Steve Martin). It starts off innocently enough. You figure Mortdecai is a kind of buffoon who stumbles and bumbles around and thus the comedy. Then it sneaks up on you. It shocks you

and you’re almost stunned by its audacity and its outrageousness.

Sure the film is silly, but it revels in the fact. It owns it, and elevates silly to the level of art.

I’ve had some favourite casts over the years – Ocean’s 11, The Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter just to name a few. The cast of Mortdecai ranks right up there.

They’re funny and talented, but that isn’t it. It’s the way they click.

It’s the way they play off each other. They are so quick and so clever it makes you dizzy trying to keep up.

Ewan McGregor brilliantly and hilariously plays the love sick British agent. Olivia Munn is a great femme fatal. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Johanna with a wit and intelligence that’s almost evil it’s so good. Johnny Depp is like some kind of savant. His ability to create, and then dive into these wild characters is mind blowing. Paul Bettany is without a doubt my hero. Jock is hysterical, and Bettany steals the show.

Mortdecai is the kind of film that drops your jaw it’s so funny.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Community – It’s not too late to enter a team into the Friends of the Library’s 18th annual Trivia Challenge.

The fun fundraiser, which takes place in the Lancaster Room (main floor) at the Smiths Falls Legion, 7 Main Street, on Sunday, Feb. 8, has pulled in new teams this year. And the return of several former winners assures the competition will be intense. But openings are still available. Why not add to the fun?

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.

Now, Friends chair Tom Foulkes indicates that at least three new entries are on the books: the Rotary Club is back in after a few years’ absence, joined by the

Railway Museum and Chimo School. “The Perthites” – winners three years ago – have also returned.

Maybe they’ve heard that organizers are going to repeat some of the same question categories, namely Popular Culture, History and Geography, and Potpourri, but are going to add two new ones ­– Rules and Special Occasions.

Will the new Trivia Challenge categories shift the balance of power?

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 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-

283-2911 or Tom Foulkes at 613-283-2706.

Stories from the Railway Feb. 7 And please note 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 online 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.

He’s five and a half-yearsold and gets along with some ter after some time being outdoors. He did not do well living the feral life.

He arrived lethargic, in poor weight, had a poor coat and was in need of antibiotics to treat exposures. Joe Joe has come a long way in a short period of time.

He’s very handsome, regained his health, is playful and affectionate.

Pakenham Frost Festival concludes this weekend Community – “A great show”, “great music”, “so much talent”, “large attendance”, “tons of food” were just a few comments buzzing around the village of Pakenham after the first weekend of Pakenham Frost Festival activities Jan. 24 and 25.

Dave Kalil, Jenny Watters and Company and The Blair’s displayed incredible talent at several events.

The word is out and the final weekend of the Pakenham Frost Festival is well on its way.

A second round of euchre will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29 for a 7 p.m. start at Love that Barr at $5 per person. This time it’ll be 4-hand and everyone is welcome.

Friday, Jan. 30 Friday night will break all the records for exciting activities in Pakenham. The All-you-can-eat Fish ‘n Chips dinner will start the evening at 4:30 p.m. in the upper hall at the Stewart Community Centre; $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 years and younger.

A Pop-Up Museum, also in the hall, will feature a peek at Pakenham’s past. Amazing collections of early area maps, newspapers, photographs, scrapbooks and W.I. Tweedsmuir Histories will be on display.

Many of the local churches and businesses as well as individuals will proudly display their treasures. Spe-

cial emphasis will be memorabilia from both World Wars belonging to local families. Come out and see if you’re featured in someone else’s collections.

You’re also invited to join the Ryan family from the 12th Concession as they watch their father, John Ryan being honoured for his contributions to the community over many years. At 8:00 p.m. at centre ice, an appreciation ceremony will take place while the Cedar Hill Sunday School Choir will lead us in singing O Canada.

The Jr B hockey game between Almonte Thunder and the Arnprior Packers immediately follows.

Saturday, Jan. 31 The Cedar Hill gang will gather again to get the hot chocolate ready on Saturday at noon at the Pakenham Highlands Golf course for some great tobogganing.

Bring your own sled and come hang out with your friends.

The fishing derby will have started long before noon, but be sure to register at the Feed and Seed and bring your fish back to be weighed at 3 p.m. sharp to be eligible for prizes.

We’ll finish the long festivities off with the Frost Festival Pub Night, this year featuring Jen Grant from Yuk Yuks followed by the Ryans with some great dance music. A nominee for Best Female Comedian by the

Canadian Comedy Awards, Jen Grant has performed at all major festivals in Canada including the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, as well as the Halifax, Vancouver, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Winnipeg comedy festivals (many of which have aired on TV).

She can be heard on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, has taped her own half hour TV special on Comedy Now for CTV, was the first Canadian to reach the finals of the prestigious Boston Comedy Competition and had the honour of entertaining the Troops in the Middle East.

Originally from Ottawa, Grant does a clean show and her ability to weave her hilarious jokes with funny audience interaction is extraordinary.

If that isn’t enough in one evening, John O’Neill will host the raucously fun Bake Auction where Pakenham’s finest cakes and baked items will be on offer. The night will conclude with some fabulous dance music by The Ryans.

There is something for everyone.

Doors open at 8 p.m. in the Stewart Community Centre, upper hall. Costs for the event are $15/person or $25/ couple (not those listed on the poster) with pre-purchase at Nicholson’s.

Doors close at 11 p.m., so come early for a seat.

1966 Chevelle Malibu SS with 73,000 miles was found in a barn Lifestyle – Richard Finn of Charing Cross, Ont., writes: “We found our 1966 Malibu SS hardtop in a barn at RR #3, Kerwood, Ontario, in the spring of 1994. It has the factory 327275 hp engine, 4-speed tranny, 308 Posi rear end, original interior, and GM build sheet. This Canadian-built car was built on April 11, 1966, in Oshawa and shipped to Wills Motors in Caledonia on the 12th of April.

“When we found the car, it showed 73,000 miles and I had the motor rebuilt at 100,000 miles. Atchison of London bored the block 20 over and polished the crankshaft. Jim Spurgeon in Chatham did the camel back heads.

Evelyn and I enjoy going to car shows and cruises. The car still has the original 4-wheel drum brakes with Corvette rally rims.”

Richard and Evelyn’s 1966 Chevelle Malibu SS reflects the fierce competition among the Big Three in the 1960s.

All three launched a compact car in 1960: Ford with the Falcon, GM with the rear-engine Corvair, and Chrysler with the Plymouth Valiant. Studebaker actually led the pack with the Lark in 1959. All these compact cars had wheelbases around 109 inches when the full-sized cars of each company averaged around 119 inches.

In 1962, Ford and GM went after a new category of car called the midsize. Lots of people wanted something smaller than full-size but not so small

as a compact. Ford brought out the Fairlane at 115 inches (six inches more than the Falcon) and GM brought out the Chevy II at 110 inches (only two more inches than the Corvair but with a conventional front-mounted engine and rear wheel drive).

By 1964, GM decided that the Chevy II was not quite big enough to fully satisfy the demands of the midsize market and brought out the Chevelle with a wheelbase of 115 inches.

The Chevelle 300 was moderately priced for the budget-conscious buyer.

The Chevelle Malibu was fancier and included a hardtop and convertible.

Fancier still was the Chevelle Malibu SS. These three levels were instant hits and sold well.

By 1966, the Malibu SS continued its popularity with 72,300 built. As before, it was available with a six cylinder or a 283 V8 as standard equipment. Whoever bought the ’66 Chevelle Malibu SS brand new and owned today by Richard and Evelyn Finn of Charing Cross, Ontario, opted for the more powerful 327 cubic inch small block Chevy engine. A Chevelle 396 V8 was also available, but rear tires wore out very quickly on those models.

Trudeau’s ‘mullet’ London visit: business at the front, party at the back Desmond Peter Devoy

Opinion – (Editor’s note: Though he arrived in Canada in 1970 as an immigrant from Ireland, our occasional columnist, Desmond Peter Devoy, a London, Ont.-based freelance writer, only became a Canadian citizen in 2013 – missing out on voting in every federal election from 1972 to 2011. This year’s will be his first chance to vote in a national election. So, we decided to send him out into the election fray, as the parties gear up for the campaign, to get an up close look in preparation for his first vote. First up, the Liberals.)

Justin Trudeau was in London, Ont., on Jan. 20, attending the federal Liberal Party’s winter caucus, and addressing the media. I attended the latter event at the Hilton Hotel at 12:30 p.m.

The day started off well: I got a Doris Day parking spot, right out front. Free food was available, always a bonus for impoverished reporters.

As usual, old media friends greeted each other and neophytes became acquainted. One freelance cameraman told me that he took any work that came his way: sometimes he filmed ‘How To’ videos, but today he had been hired by CTV; tomorrow, he could be working for the CBC. Pointing at his thinning hair, he laughed that he wore many hats, which is why he never wore any.

We chatted about how portable electronic devices had greatly aided reporters in recent years, but he was taken aback by the multiple misspellings one finds in daily newspapers nowadays.

“Are there no present-day proofreaders?” he lamented.

In the scrum room, it was announced that a central microphone was to be used for all questions directed at Trudeau.

As reporters are sometimes longwinded and relentless, that sane plan was abandoned for an in-

sane one: everyone just shouted out questions. It was most…unCanadian. Half of the reporters present didn’t even get to ask a question in the allotted 15 minutes.

As he strode into the press room, there was no preliminary greeting, or warm-up from Trudeau. It was strictly a business-like exchange, between reporters wishing to elicit some substantial response to their probing questions, and a politician wishing to show his party’s platform in the best possible light. Trudeau wasn’t unfriendly, but a projection of his reputed charisma was not something that he was overly concerned with, in that setting, at that time.

Trudeau was asked his opinion about the budget being postponed. He answered that the prime minister had put all his eggs in one basket, that oil prices would remain high, and that now he was reacting to the price drop, and flailing. The fact that he had cancelled an important summit with the US and Mexico, and inexplicably delayed the budget until sometime in April, demonstrated that he really had no Plan B, since oil prices and revenues had dropped.

The Liberals have claimed that they have a better alternative to govern, but one reporter said that she doesn’t specifically know what Trudeau’s plan or platform is. The Liberal leader responded that he’d been particularly clear on one piece of it: the income-splitting plan, which gives $2 billion to the richest 15 per cent of Canadians, like “his family and mine.” If elected, Liberals would build support for the middle-class, providing an alternative based upon co-operation and collaboration, in a fiscally responsible way.

Most of the questions, however, concerned the fight against global terrorism and Trudeau’s response to that threat. Trudeau stressed that the Liberal Party

will always support Canadian troops, and their right to defend themselves, when they find themselves in harm’s way. He had always stood with the international community, in the pushback against global terrorists, but his disagreements with the prime minister, over the best way to do that, were well known. Harper had “made some statements” about the nature of the mission on the ground in Iraq, “that turn out not to be entirely truthful.”

Harper had established parameters for the mission, and these had been laid out, with great assurances, before the House of Commons. These parameters, Trudeau continued, had not been respected, and the prime minister owed it to Canadians to be forthright and honest; he hadn’t displayed openness and frankness, from the very beginning.

Trudeaumania two?

I went to the London Ukrainian Centre at 6 p.m. later that day, in order to observe the Liberal Party’s London rally, a lovein attended by about 300 of the party faithful from throughout the region. I anticipated seeing some elemental charisma displayed by the party leader, someone who has inspired confidence, and received admiration from ordinary people across the country, in spite of the fact that the NDP’s assertive Thomas Mulcair has more eloquence, and the Conservative’s stodgy Stephen Harper more experience. Despite such perceived advantages on the part of his rivals, Trudeau has surpassed Mulcair in popularity (except in Quebec) in many polls, and Trudeau’s Liberals have equalled or surpassed Harper’s Conservatives for the better part of a year, a fact which has baffled and enraged many Tory strategists. Attack ads by the Tories, which tried to insinuate that Trudeau was too young and unfocused to be prime minister, seem to have little effect – and may, in

What are the five signs of stroke?

Heart attack warning signs Thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks every year because they don’t receive medical treatment quickly enough. Learn to recognize the signs of a heart attack so you can react quickly to save a life It is important to understand that warning signs can vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack in both men and women, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort. Others may experience one symptom, while some experience a combination.

Stroke can be treated.

That’s why it is so important to recognize and respond to the warning signs.

Weakness Sudden loss of strength or sudden numbness in the face, arm or leg, even if temporary.

Trouble speaking Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding or sudden confusion, even if temporary.

Vision problems Sudden trouble with vision, even if temporary.

Headache Sudden severe and unusual headache.

Dizziness Sudden loss of balance, especially with any of the above signs.

If you experience any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately. If a person is diagnosed with a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors can administer a clot-busting drug available only at a hospital, and only within a few crucial hours after symptoms begin.* That’s why it is very important to be able to recognize the 5 warning signs of stroke and immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number.

Sweating

Discomfort in other areas of the upper body

Nausea

Light-headedness

If you are experiencing any of these signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately, or have someone call for you. Keep a list of emergency numbers near the phone at all times. Stop all activity and sit or lie down, in whatever position is most comfortable. If you take nitroglycerin, take your normal dosage. If you are experiencing chest pain, chew and swallow one adult 325 mg tablet or two 80 mg tablets of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid, commonly referred to as Aspirin®).

Pain medicines such as acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (commonly known as Advil®) do not work the same way as ASA (Aspirin®) and therefore will not help in the emergency situation described above. Rest comfortably and wait for an ambulance with emergency medical personnel to arrive.

Liberal-red fez). I was gently and playfully upbraided for simply wearing basic black. However, as I hadn’t worn anything orange or blue, my unfortunate oversight was quickly forgiven.

Many of Trudeau’s caucus were in attendance, including Ottawa South MP David McGuinty (Dalton’s brother.) We had both attended the Ontario Liberal Party’s leadership convention in 1996, at the old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto – myself as a press photographer, he, naturally, supporting his brother’s campaign for the leadership. Like two veterans, we swopped stories about how exciting and nerve-wracking that convention had been, and how tension had built steadily over 12 hours, culminating in his brother’s win. After defeating a half-dozen opponents, and after five ballots, Dalton had emerged victorious at the unheard of, mindnumbing hour of 5:15 a.m.

At the appointed half-hour, Ontario DeputyPremier and MPP Deb Matthews (London North Centre) greeted the crowd.

“Canadians are hungry,” she said, “for a Prime Minister who reflects their values…for a government that restores Canada’s place in the world.” To sustained applause, she confided: “I’ve got good news. I’ve got a good idea who that prime minister might be.” An excited buzz ran through the crowd, as all waited eagerly for their party leader’s appearance.

Then Trudeau emerged from backstage, but it took him five minutes to reach the lectern, so overwhelming was the response from the cheering, chanting, hand-grasping throng that bordered his path. Framed by an enormous, wall-mounted Canadian flag, he began his speech by noting that this rally was being held in London’s Ukrainian Centre, and he expressed support, on behalf of all Canadians, to the people of Ukraine, and their recent trials at the hands of Russian invaders.

“All Canadians stand with them,” Trudeau added, “and offer them our steadfast support (to the Ukraine.)”

Trudeau first addressed some local issues.

“There are fewer full-time jobs in London, than there was a decade ago,” he noted. “Even though the population has increased by 20 per cent.” He talked of meeting a London-born married mother who is soon to lose her job at Target, along with 1,700 others across the country. Harper does not appear to care that manufacturing jobs are drying up, Trudeau claimed, and has ignored what has always made Canada prosperous: “Diversity, balance, and partnership between regions and sectors.” A plan was needed to get Canadian-made products to export markets, but the Tories were more concerned with oil revenues. Oil prices had gone through the floor, and the Tories had no back-up plan, he repeated.

Staying very much on message, Trudeau said that Harper’s priority was to give a $2 billion inPhoto courtesy of Desmond Peter Devoy come-splitting gift to wealthy Canadians.

“On Wednesday, Jan. 14, the finance minister Federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau signs a copy of his recently-published memsaid that oil prices would have no effect on the oir, Common Ground, surrounded by supporters at a London rally on Jan. 20. budget. On Thursday, he changed his mind, and delayed the budget. The Tories seem to be making it up as they go along. I’m a teacher,” Trudeau added, “and these excuses are the equivalent of: ‘The dog ate my homework.’”

0 In conclusion, Trudeau stated: “This govern225/60 ment will never change. This year, if we work hard, SOLD Canadians will change the government.”

Trudeau then left the stage and engaged in a prolonged, palm-pressing, troop-rallying encounter with more than 100 people, who milled around NEEDS YOUR HELP TO PROVIDE URGENTLY NEEDED him.

Youth centre’s accessory event raises funds to send youth to convention Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

Community – Accessories can add a special touch to any outfit and in the Kemptville Youth Centre’s (KYC) case, they can also send kids to a youth convention.

KYC held its first Accessory Event at the centre on Jan. 24.

Hundreds of glittery baubles were up for grabs at great deals, including an array of purses, scarves, earrings, necklaces, belts, perfume and cologne.

By early afternoon, half of the merchandise had already been sold.

KYC’s youth council decided upon the accessory sale as their fundraiser, which they named in honour of local business, Canadian Paint & Wallpaper, who provided paint for the centre. “When we moved in here in 2010, all the walls were beige and the youth wanted some colour so it would look more like a youth centre,” KYC executive director Robin Heald explained. “They picked colours based on our logo (green and purple) and it looks completely different; more welcoming and friendly.”

In the last month, the centre was inundated with donations from the community and Heald noted that they were still pricing items that were coming in at the start of the sale. Some of the luxury items donated, including gold and silver jewelry, a Coach

scarf and gift certificates, were up for sale in the silent auction.

Heald said she was overwhelmed by the support of the community. Staff at businesses such as the Five Star Restaurant and O’Farrell Financial Services Inc. each collected a large amount of donations for the youth centre as well.

“Youth go to the workshops and collaborate to come up with solutions and come back to the centre with what they’ve learned.”

ROBIN HEALD

According to Heald, the entire proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards sending youth to the annual Youth Centres Canada convention in Ottawa March 26 to 29.

“We’ve had lots of support and ideally, we’d like to raise enough to send many of them, but it’s $350 per youth plus $115 for a hotel room,” she noted. “Most of us have never gone before, so we’re hoping to at least send all of the youth council,” added KYC youth council president Breanna Luther.

With topics including mental

health, alcohol and drugs, professional development for youth centres and conflict management scheduled to be discussed at this year’s convention, Heald said the skills youth learn are very valuable. “...Youth go to the workshops and collaborate to come up with solutions and come back to the centre with what they’ve learned.”

“It’s a chance for them to get to know youth from across Canada as well,” she added.

She said that attendees last year chose to tackle issues such as homophobia and racism.

“And we ended up dealing with these issues in the last year. I can’t believe how great the youth responded to it and it was great that they were able to bring those tools back to us,” Heald stated. With final tallies still coming in, Heald said another fundraiser may be organized to gather more for the trip. However, those who missed the Accessory Event needn’t worry. There are plans to hold another one in the future.

Jail and Bail Next up for KYC is their second annual Jail and Bail fundraiser on April 1 (April Fool’s Day) where local celebrities will be put behind bars and friends, co-workers and loved ones will be asked to bail them out.

Community grants handed out Staff

On Jan. 26, North Grenville municipal staff announced the recipients of community grants.

Five organizations requested community grants during 2015 budget deliberations.

The first group was the Kemptville Little League, which sought $7,000 from the municipality to address the safety issues at diamond three in Riverside Park in Kemptville.

The KLL raised $27,000 for the project, which carries a price tag of $34,000 and requested the municipality pitch in the remaining amount, citing the fact the baseball diamond is municipal infrastructure.

The second organization to request a grant was Southgate

Community Church, which is looking to build a permanent outdoor rink on the church’s property. The intent is to pour a concrete slab for the outdoor rink that is already in existence and open to the public for usage.

The third group to request a community grant was the Oxford Mills Community Association, which asked the municipality to conduct an up-to-date engineering audit on Maplewood Hall in Oxford Mills. The OMCA intends to look at purchasing Maplewood from the municipality and taking over the operating aspect of the hall. The OMCA was informed an audit was already conducted on the property, in the late 1990s, and would be made available to the OMCA. The fourth organization to

request a community grant was the Splashpad Committee, which asked for $50,000 per year, for the next two years, totalling $100,000. The total estimated cost of the project is $150,000. To date, the Splashpad Committee has raised $1,800.

The fifth and final group to request a community grant was the Dandelion Festival, which asked the municipality for a $15,000 contribution towards the 2015 festival. In past years, the municipality has provided the festival with a $2,000 grant.

North Grenville municipal staff said, in terms of community grants in 2015, a $3,000 grant will be given to Southgate Community Church for the outdoor rink and a $2,000 grant will be given to the Dandelion Festival.

They include no new borrowing in 2015, resurfacing 15.3 kilometers of paved roadways, rehabilitation of 6.3 kilometers of gravel roadways, extension of sewer main along County Road 44, preparing storm sewer master plan, hiring a full-time deputy fire chief as of July 1, water looping of County Road 19 to County Road 24 and updating the Asset Management Plan to include fleet and facilities.

“Basically it comes down to a situation created by the province by decreasing the OMPF funds,” said David Gordon, North Grenville Mayor and Warden of Leeds

and Grenville.

He explained it all comes down to responsible budgeting.

“Would we like it to be lower, yes,” said Gordon. “But everything is going up and I think this budget will put us on a sound road.”

He explained the council looked at every way to save money and cut costs wherever possible.

“We didn’t take this lightly,” said Gordon. “There was much discussion and research.”

A list of suggestions to reduce costs was also presented to council, containing a number of modifications that could be made to the budget.

The final decision was to remove four items, including $20,000 to hire a consultant, $20,000 to freeze hiring for six months, $15,000 to remove the election reserve and $18,000 to cut fuel costs by 10 per cent.

This brought the tax increase down to 6.33 per cent at that time, which represents $32.82 per $100,000 of assessed value.

Dandelion Festival organizers seek $15,000 from municipality Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The Dandelion festival organizers made a community grant proposal at the Committee of the Whole on Jan. 19.

Julia O’Grady, the Dandelion Festival Coordinator, said the festival was a major success in 2014.

She explained approximately 12,000 people attended the festival in 2014, which brought an estimated $1,047,180 in community investment.

“The transition of the festival back to the streets was a huge success,” said O’Grady.

She explained the participation of the Business Improvement Area in 2014 was beyond anything the festival has seen in past years.

O’Grady said the festival received a considerable amount of positive community feedback.

Some of the 2014 festival successes include free entertainment, focus on the festival theme, exceptional media coverage, record number of vendors, fresh faces around the planning table and exceptional volunteer commitment.

In total, there were 52 vendors at the 2014 festival.

She said there were 42 volunteers who contributed a total of 392 hours during the festival in 2014.

“We visited some of the schools and gave out volunteer-

ism awards,” said O’Grady.

Some of the new programming introduced in 2014 includes the dandelion dinner, volunteer awards and recognition, volunteer center, dig the weed store, dandelion after dark, arts gate and theatre presentation.

She said the dandelion dinner was a good way to showcase local culinary talent, with five local chefs participating, each responsible for one dish.

She explained 2014 marked a transition year for the festival.

O’Grady said there were many new members on the board of directors, new event manager, an engaged planning committee, a revamping of the festival logo and financial sustainability.

In 2014, the festival received a Canadian Heritage Grant of $19,200, a Grenville Community Futures Development grant of $7,500 and a community grant from the municipality of $2,000.

The festival also received $11,050 from community sponsors, $2,220 from community donations and $6,802.

“The most important thing to remember is it is an essentially free festival, with lots of family activities,” said O’Grady.

O’Grady said in 2015 the festival will continue to move forward and include additional changes.

These include new members of the board of directors, committed planning committee members returning from last year, a closer

focus on the theme and related programming, an investment in permanent promotional material, investment into the festival website and a continued focus on making the festival financially sustainable.

The festival organizers also hope to add volunteers to the planning committee, continue with the solicitation of sponsors and engage community groups to participate.

O’Grady said the next step for the festival is to secure funding for 2015. Currently, there is a confirmed grant of $14,000 from Heritage Canada.

She explained funding requests will be sent to Grenville Community Futures Development. Festival organizers are also hoping for increased funding from the municipality.

The Dandelion Festival requested $15,000 from the municipality for 2015, for the purpose of increasing free programming and marketing to encourage tourism.

“This festival is an economic driver,” said O’Grady. “Last year, it brought 12,000 people to the community and we’re hoping council will step up to the table and support the festival.

The Dandelion Festival will take place from May 22 to 24 in 2015. For more information regarding the festival, check out the website at http://www.thedandelionfestival.ca/.

She explained she picked up the phone, not thinking they would answer or agree to work with the KDH, and was amazed when they said yes.

“We’re the second smallest hospital they’ve worked with,” said Read. The Art for Healing Foundation, which gifts original works of donated art to health care facilities, has been around since 2002.

Since then, the foundation has worked with 71 facilities in Canada, including the KDH, and gifted 9000 pieces of art.

“We paid a very small administration fee and for the framing, but the art itself was gifted to us and we own it,” said Read.

The collection of seven pieces received by the KDH are valued at $15,000 and were done by six Canadian artist and one Swiss artist who lives and works in Montreal.

“Basically, it was two people who started the Art for Healing Foundation, Earl Pinchuk and Gary Blair,” said Read.

“Earl is the person I dealt with. He came here himself from Montreal with most of the art and helped us with the positioning and hanging.”

She explained Pinchuk spent the day at the KDH, ensuring the collection flowed well and appeared to its best advantage. She said a unique locking system on the back of the pieces and the wall itself,

specific to artwork, was used during the installation, to ensure they wouldn’t fall or be stolen.

The first installment of art is hung in the hallway adjacent to the clinic rooms in the original part of the KDH. “We wanted to start in the clinic hallway because there are people sitting here all the time with nothing to look at except magazines,” said Read.

She explained the KDH is currently working on a brochure that will include details relative to each piece.

“Underneath each piece is a little plaque with the name of the artist and the year it was made,” said Read.

After undertaking the role of finding art, Read began doing a little research about the health benefits of viewing art. “I read there is a direct link between the content of images and the brain’s reaction to pain and stress,” said Read. “One study found that when patients viewed nature images, they had less anxiety following surgery and were more likely to switch to weaker pain management medications.”

She explained another study showed that abstract art had a significant impact on mood and stress levels.

“It’s really amazing that art can be so beneficial,” said Read. The art from the foundation was put up in August,

2014, and is the first installment of hopefully many. The first installment is comprised of abstract art. “Each piece is open to individual interpretation,” said Read.

Read is currently working with the foundation on a second installment, which will include nature pieces.

“I see a lot of people looking at the art,” said Read. “I stop and talk to them about it. Some people have said it’s not their cup of tea and others like it a lot. Whether they like it or not, it is definitely giving patients something to look at and think about.” She explained the pieces are also for staff enjoyment.

“It makes it a more enjoyable workplace,” said Read.

She explained the KDH hopes the art will have a positive effect on patients, staff and visitors to the hospital.

“The KDH is always looking ways to improve patient experience at the hospital,” said Read. “I feel displaying art will have immeasurable benefits.”

The Art for Healing Foundation is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to bring the healing power of art to hospitals and wellness facilities, transforming public and patient areas into inspiring environments that encourage a sense of serenity and hope for patients, their families and healthcare providers.

News – Art, much like music, is the creative beauty that fuels the human soul.

The Kemptville District Hospital has begun integrating art work into the hospital’s environment to soothe patients and promote healing.

It all started back in May, 2014, when Jenny Read, Communications Lead at the KDH, made contact with the Art for Healing Foundation in Montreal.

“When we opened the new court yard lounge, the walls were very bare,” said Read.

“The person in charge of operations, who oversaw the ordering of furniture and décor for the lounge, found some Ashley Kulp/METROLAND Banksy prints online.”

She explained Banksy is a very famous graffiti artist in England.

The five Banksy prints, which were hung in the courtyard lounge, were the starting off point for what has grown in to a fully-fledged art collection at the KDH, and the collection is set to grow in the future.

North Grenville’s RVCA municipal levy may increase 3.2 per cent Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – North Grenville’s Rideau Valley Conservation Authority levy may be increasing by 3.2 per cent in 2015.

“The pressure is on conservation authorities to create a comprehensive budget,” said Sommer Casgrain-Robertson, RVCA General Manager.

Casgrain-Robertson went over the proposed 2015 RVCA budget at the North Grenville Committee of the Whole on Jan. 19.

She explained that the total RVCA budget for 2015 is $10.7 million.

“The 2015 budget is just over $2 million higher than last year, which is a 23 per cent increase,” said CasgrainRobertson.

She provided a breakdown of this increase, which includes a 4.8 per cent ($417,033) increase in Rideau

River ice management, a 15.3 per cent ($1,332,750) increase in capital projects and a 3.1 per cent ($272,270) increase in operations.

Casgrain-Robertson said the RVCA is focused on reducing the impact on the municipal levy.

“We realize municipalities are facing OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) cuts right now,” said CasgrainRobertson.

She explained the RVCA is trying to be creative to increase revenue.

The total proposed municipal levy increase for North Grenville is $160,000, which is a 3.2 per cent increase over last year.

“This is the second lowest increase in the last eight years,” said CasgrainRobertson.

The RVCA levy for North Grenville increased 3.6 per cent in 2014, 3.9 per cent in 2013, 4.6 per cent in 2012, 4.7

per cent in 2011 and 2.7 per cent in 2010.

She explained the 2015 levy for North Grenville would equate to $5.21 per $100,000 Current Value Assessment.

She said North Grenville is getting value for its money. She explained the RVCA assesses watershed health, conducts targeted stewardship actions, promotes sustainable development, offers flood forecasting and warning, conserves natural areas and promotes awareness and education.

Casgrain-Robertson explained municipal levies are proportioned out to municipalities depending on tax base.

“For instance, the City of Ottawa pays 90.9 per cent of the levy,” said Casgrain-Robertson.

She said North Grenville is second, relative to the percentage paid towards the levy, at 1.56 per cent.

“We feel a healthy environment is

integral to healthy communities,” said Casgrain-Robertson.

She explained the assessment of watershed health is the main function of the RVCA. “Last year alone, we planted 10,000 trees and organized 24 clean water projects in North Grenville,” said CasgrainRobertson.

She explained the RVCA spent something in the area of $275,000 at the Ferguson Forest Centre last year.

“We work very closely with planning and development,” said CasgrainRobertson. “The word is definitely out there that North Grenville is open for business.”

She explained the role of the RVCA is to ensure people are safe and property is safe.

“We don’t just protect the environment, but people and property as well,” said Casgrain-Robertson. “We issued 18

flood warnings in North Grenville last spring. People were able to prepare.”

She explained other provinces don’t have conservation authorities, which ensures the conservation is done at the watershed level.

“We make sure that when the water gets to you, it’s good quality,” said Casgrain-Robertson.

She explained having a conservation authority is a very cost effective delivery method for municipalities.

“We provide the service so municipalities don’t have to do it on their own,” said Casgrain-Robertson.

She explained the RVCA is pleased to be working with North Grenville and assist in continued, environmentally responsible, growth moving into the future.

“North Grenville is green and growing and we want it to continue to do so.”

Whitney Rd. and McGovern Rd. are below the line in final draft budget 2015 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Rebuilds of Whitney Rd. and McGovern Rd. are below the line in the final draft budget 2015, which was adopted by the North Grenville Council on Jan. 26.

Both rebuilds are considered neednow projects, which means they require immediate attention.

Karen Dunlop, Director of Public Works, explained that every five years the public works department commissions an independent engineering assessment of all the roads in North Grenville.

“It usually takes a couple weeks to complete,” said Dunlop.

She explained the assessment looks at the condition of roads, including depth, pot holes and deficiencies.

“We look at the full extremes, including traffic counts,” said Dunlop.

She explained based on the assessment, a list of one to five (needs work in one to five years) and six to 10 (needs work in six to 10 years) projects is compiled.

“Need-now means it needs to be done now,” said Dunlop.

The most recent engineering assessment was done in 2012 and covers all 300 kilometers of roads in North Grenville.

“We are provided with a chart, which lays out the one to five and six to 10 projects and the costs associated with

Dunlop explained this figure represents the capital program only, which does not include gravel roads.

“This assessment, along with Doug’s (Scott, Roads Superintendent) maintenance records, which basically show which roads are costing too much to maintain, are used to create a list of projects that we feel need to be addressed in the upcoming year,” said Dunlop.

She explained this list of capital projects goes to council for consideration during budget deliberations.

“It is a list of the most pressing isthem,” said Dunlop. sues, in our opinion,” said Dunlop.

The full cost of needed repairs for all She explained the four factors that the roads in North Grenville, over the come into play when considering annual course of roughly 10 years dating back capital projects includes the engineering to 2012, is over $17 million. assessment, maintenance records, traffic

counts and financial allotments.

She said that in the Asset Management Plan, there is $1.48 million per year recommended to be put aside for repairing paved roads.

“Both the Asset Management Plan and the road needs assessment are used as a guideline for council to provide them with information that will assist in their decision making process,” said Dunlop.

She explained council is the ultimate decision maker.

The two gravel rebuilds, on Whitney Rd. and McGovern Rd. are below the line in the final 2015 draft budget.

The total cost of the two projects is $465,000.

Food Price Report forecasts hike between 0.3 and 2.4 per cent News – The price of food is projected to increase faster than the rate of inflation for the second year in a row, according to the Food Price Report 2015, published by the Food Institute at the University of Guelph.

The report states that overall food prices will increase between 0.3 per cent and 2.4 per cent in 2015, over the rate of inflation.

The authors of the report include Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Dr. Michael von Massow, Dr. Francis Tapon, Dr. Erna van Duren, Dr. Paul Uys, h.c., Warren Pinto and Amit Summan.

Dr. von Massow, Associate Professor in the School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management at the University of Guelph, said that although prices are generally going up faster than inflation, consumers can expect a slightly lower increase in 2015 than they saw in 2014.

Dr. von Massow said there are reasons specific products go up in price, while others don’t.

“For pork and beef, there is a biological hangover, so to speak, from the droughts we experienced in the United States and Canada,” said Dr. von Massow. “Yields were very low, so feed prices went through the roof.

We saw herds shrink in size, especially beef herds. But it happened with pork as well.”

He said the reason food prices increased so much in 2014 was due to a few bad years in crop production.

“It takes time to rebuild,” said Dr. von Massow. “Demand is high and supply is low, so prices go up.”

He said the herds are now rebuilding and although there are still tight supplies, hopefully it will improve going forward.

‘Changes in weather and climate are expected to have significant implications for food markets in the long term,’ stated the report. ‘As droughts have been increasing in recent years, the impact of climate conditions and catastrophic weather events increasingly creates upward pressures on food prices.’ He said the price of fruits and vegetables are largely driven by the Canadian dollar, which he explained has dropped in value roughly 10 per cent.

“This drop is value makes fruits and vegetables, which are largely imported during the winter months, more expensive to buy,” said Dr. von Massow. “Lower fuel costs will lower transportation costs, but the Canadian dollar is still impacting the price.”

The report states a significant proportion of Canadian food is imported and events such as the drought in California affect domestic retail prices of food. ‘Input costs and energy costs may drop due to evident declines in oil prices, with negative pressures on food prices,’ stated the report.

Pictured is Figure 1, on page 5 of the Food Price Report published by the Food Institute at the University of Guelph. The graph illustrates the change in food prices from 2004 to 2014.

The report also mentions the dropping value of the Canadian dollar, which will have upward pressure on produce prices, as import levels tend to increase during the winter and spring.

The Food Price Report 2015 forecasts that the price of meat will increase between 3 and 5 per cent, fish and seafood will increase between 3 and 5 per cent, dairy and eggs will remain stable, grains will increase between 0 and 2 per cent, fruit and nuts will increase between 1 and 3 per cent and vegetables will increase between 3 and 5 per cent.

‘With decreased feed and fuel prices expected in 2015, meat prices will stabilise and will not soar as in years prior…’ stated the report.

Dr. von Massow said the reason the price of dairy and grains has remained relatively stable is due to competition between grocery chains, who sell dairy and grain products as a loss-leader to draw consumers into their stores.

“We have supply management in Canada (regarding dairy), which moderates some of the highs and lows we see in other commodities,” said Dr. von Massow. “It’s profound in highly populated areas, where there is significant competition, but less in rural communities where there are not as much options available to consumers.”

He said the price of dairy products is more stable because it is supply managed, whereas other commodities are not, so consumers don’t see cyclical highs and lows.

“The price is more predictable with dairy and grains,” said Dr. von Massow.

He said it is hard to predict food prices on a year over year basis, but he feels the rate of increase will slow going into 2016.

“Unless something significant changes, then I believe we will see a smaller increase in food prices,” said Dr. von Massow. “The long-term decrease in oil prices, as well as the sta-

bilizing of the Canadian dollar, will both be factors.”

He said the Food Institute looks at both retail prices and buying behaviours when determining projected food prices.

“People are thinking differently about food than they used to,” said Dr. von Massow. “They respond to price increases in different ways, for example some people will buy less beef or less expensive cuts of beef.”

The report explained that the food retail and distribution landscape in 2014 saw significant change, with various major retail acquisitions.

The report stated that the introduction of food labelling modernisation initiatives by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will encourage food producers to state clearer nutritional and quantity information to consumers. ‘…but we expect this to alter purchasing behaviours on the horizon,’ stated the report. ‘Consumer food awareness continues to diversify purchase behaviours and increasingly affects food price levels and dispersion…’

Package size changes Dr. von Massow said one of the ways food companies are trying to soften the blow of price increases is by changing the size of packages.

“A bag of chips has less than when I was a kid,” said Dr. von Massow. “We’re seeing this in products such as cereals and bacon, so consumers don’t recognize the price increases as much. We end up getting less, but we’re less sensitive to the increase.”

The report explained that volatile supply markets put food producers in a position to shrink consumer package goods.

‘This arises with Ottawa’s deregulation of food packaging sizes two years ago to enable processors to newer packaging formats,’ stated the report.

‘With inputs more expensive for packaged goods, producers opt to sustain affordable prices for consumers with trends of smaller packaging.’

The report explained this method is used to pass on a price increase without notable changes in prices.

It stated that domestic drivers of consumer debt, deleveraging and income continues to have moderate and slightly downward pressures on retail food prices.

‘2014 saw high consumer debt that will persist in the New Year,’ stated the report. ‘This will have little impact on food price affordability, as less than 10 per cent of the Canadian household budget is spent on food on average in Canada,’ stated the report.

The report explained that correlation between food price inflation and job availability evidences the province-to-province variance in consumer prices, with higher food prices more apparent in economically burgeoning centres.

Dr. von Massow said that people with higher incomes won’t spend 10 per cent, but others with lower incomes will spend more than 10 per cent on food.

“A lot of people are buying better quality food and if you do it in the smart way, then it doesn’t have to cost more, but some things still do,” said Dr. von Massow. “As consumers, it’s fine for us to make that choice.”

‘Responsible protein will dominate Canadian plates in 2015,’ stated the report. ‘Consumer attitudes towards meat are changing – with an emergence of ‘flexitarianism’: a plant-based diet with less frequent inclusion of meat, as a less rigid form of vegetarianism.

The report explained that responsible protein will moderate meat prices and soften general protein demand overall.

The report stated that Canadians are yearning for smaller store formats.

‘Retailers are now responding to those sentiments by moving store models to one of a local grocery store,’ stated the report.

The report outlines factors affecting retail food prices, which fall three categories; macro, sector and domestic.

According to the report, the drivers behind the macro category include weather, geopolitical risk, input costs, energy costs and currencies and trade environment.

The drivers behind the sector category include food retail and distribution landscape, food processing industry, policy context and consumer awareness.

The drivers in the domestic category include consumer debt and deleveraging, inflation and consumer income and income distribution.

Glued to the screen

olumn – My son is addicted to video games.

I always said, ‘oh, other people’s kids are TV junkies and my kid will never grow up to be like that.’

How wrong I was.

It all started a year-and-a-half ago, when we bought our house and made the decision to get Bell Internet and satellite.

Prior to bringing satellite and the Internet into my son’s world, all he ever did was play outside and build things.

Of course, we would watch movies on occasion, but never did I feel TV was a big aspect of our life. Satellite changed all that. As soon as my son woke up in the morning, I would bring him his breakfast and he would request the TV remote to be brought hither. When there was no easily available programming, it took him actual effort to go look for a movie to watch during breakfast, so it was a less frequent occurrence.

Watching television daily seemed like a perfectly normal thing to me, as a person who grew up eagerly anticipating the Simpsons episodes that aired at 5 p.m.

I kept telling myself that limiting the amount of TV he could watch would curb any technological dependencies.

It was just a little TV after all. No harm in watching a few cartoons. Then I got a new phone. A fancy one, much more advanced and capable than the one I got back in 2011. You could download games at the tip of your fingers and cruise the Internet to your heart’s content. My son also quickly figured this out and now constantly asks if he can play Minion Rush or any of the other games he managed to download on his own, without asking

ifestyle - I went to see Donkey and Gracie at their new home last weekend. As soon as he spotted me coming ‘round the bend, Donk came trotting down the path to meet me at the fence. It was nice to see that. He recognized me and he was happy to see me. I pet him for a moment, and his new owner Terresa pointed out that he had had his hooves clipped.

“Wow. He’s never had that done before; at least not at our place!” I said.

Our farrier (the third and only successful one to trim the hooves on our big nervous Belgian) told us it couldn’t be done without a stockade. Luckily the glacial moraine that Donkey trots over in our pasture in the summer usually keeps his hooves trimmed down fairly well.

Terresa said the farrier just offered to take care of the donkey while he was there working with the horses. Donkey gave up the front feet fairly willingly but he never trusts anything that is going on where he can’t see, behind him.

So he kicked, and the farrier hung on to those back legs until Donkey got tired of swinging him back and forth. Now he has four beautifully trimmed hooves.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

or being told how. The thing that blows my mind is the technological abilities of modern children. My son, aged six, is more capable of maneuvering my cell phone than I am. Then came the LeapPad (an educational child oriented version of the iPad), the Nintendo DS (a hand-held video game device) and the Grand Theft Auto (very popular violent video game).

I spoke with a medical doctor about this trend and was told that children should be limited to five minutes of screen time for every year they are in age per day.

That is 30 minutes a day, total time in front of a screen, including TV and video games, for my son. Currently he is in front of a screen roughly triple that amount of time every day, or 90 minutes. I don’t know how I allowed this to happen, but I did.

My advice to all parents who are in the same boat as me is to take action now, while they are young, to cut down on screen time and technological dependencies. Step one for me was to get rid of the satellite. Step two will be to not allow my son to play on my cell phone anymore. Step three will be hide all Xbox video games during the week and only take them out on Saturdays and Sundays. Step four is to give away the LeapPad. Time to return to basics. I’m 100 per cent sure my son will hate me, but that just means I am doing a good job as a parent.

It may be below zero outside but a great sunrise is still beautiful to watch.

Checking in on Donk and Gracie The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

I told Terresa that Donkey learned that trick from the horse. Our farrier has to ride her feet like he’s in the rodeo until she gets tired and lets him finish her pedicure.

While we continued to talk, Donkey lost interest and wandered away, back to the feeder. The sheep then moved in for some attention. Gracie wasn’t quite as anxious to see me, as she has acquired a new beau, Dodge (get it? He’s a ram).

She was probably worried that my presence meant the end of her date. She came over for a quick pet on the nose and then took off down the meandering path with her new bff, who kept sniffing her neck and trying to jump up on her hind end.

She would slow down, turn around and wait for him to catch up, then take off

again. He’s going to be exhausted by the time this mating season is through.

Big Mama, the matriarch ewe of the Triple B Ranch, was quite curious about the visitor. She is probably the biggest sheep I’ve ever seen. While we fussed over her, Donkey decided he would come back for another visit. As he approached we filmed him with my phone.

Terresa commented on how handsome he is. I agreed. I swear that Donkey knows our tone of voice because all that fawning made his head swell a bit and as he passed the sheep he did a little flip kick in their general direction.

“Donkey!” I gasped.

“I have not seen him do that since he’s been here,” Terresa commented.

“Maybe it’s because I’m here,” I said. I think he was trying to assert his dominance over this portion of the farm population. I’m not sure how he would do with the horses on the other side of the fence but on this side, he’s the biggest of the bunch.

Jack, the little burro, came over for a pat and Donkey tossed his head at him to frighten him away. Jack didn’t stay around to challenge him.

So far Terresa says there has been no physical contact between the two guardians of the sheep. I hope Donkey minds his manners or he’ll be getting his chain reattached to his halter very soon.

I like that he has his sheep-guarding job back again, because that will keep him occupied. And he has Jack to keep him company. Donkey and Gracie have wonderful new owners who are very involved and attentive with their animals.

Terresa is full-time farming now so she will be around if Donkey tries anything sneaky, like opening the gate with his big, agile lips and letting all the animals out.

So far Jack has been the one gently removing the water heater out of the tank, probably because he was trying to find a way to pass the time on a quiet afternoon, or because he knew it would get him some attention. I know it’s only a matter of time before Donk decides the younger and less experienced Jack should learn a thing or two about how to have fun on a sheep farm.

I don’t want to label him a bad influence but he does come with a warning label. It reads, “trouble when bored.”

Splash Pad Committee seeks $100,000 over two years from municipality News – The Splash Pad Committee presented a community grant proposal at the Committee of the Whole on January 19.

The first presenter was a member of the Splash Pad Committee, Jill Sturdy.

Sturdy began by stating the goal of the committee is to build a Splash Pad at Riverside Park in Kemptville.

“We are here tonight to ask for financial assistance for the Splash Pad,” said Sturdy.

She explained the committee was basically a group of local moms who have been at this for a few years.

“Our Facebook page has 500 members and growing,” said Sturdy.

She explained a Splash pad is a structure for water play, usually situated in close proximity to a playground, with water spouts that run on a timer.

“I know this time of year we’re not thinking about water and sunshine,” said Sturdy. “But you can set up a Splash Pad as a multi-seasonal structure, by making it into an outdoor rink during the winter.”

She explained the reason the committee has focused in on Riverside Park is because it is the obvious choice.

“It’s the jewel of this community,” said Sturdy.

“There is already a plan to enhance the park.”

She explained that a Splash Pad would increase foot traffic for downtown Kemptville, which would benefit local businesses.

“We see this as an obvious thing to have to add to our community,” said Sturdy.

She explained every summer the committee re-

ceives various inquiries regarding the location of the nearest Splash Pad. “You are all probably aware of the discussion surrounding childhood obesity and inactivity,” said Sturdy. “Having a Splash Pad could play an important role in getting kids outside.”

She explained that although Kemptville has various organized sports, unstructured physical play is just as important.

“Riverside Park is a great place for kids to roam free,” said Sturdy. “One parent with multiple kids find it nearly impossible to bring the kids to the pool. Infants can play safely at a Splash Pad.” She explained one of the biggest benefits of the Splash Pad would be the fact its usage would be free.

“Many families in the community can’t afford organized sports,” said Sturdy. “It’s a small investment that we wouldn’t be able to measure the benefit of. We already have the space available at Riverside Park.”

She explained that a lot of young families are moving to this community.

“A Splash Pad would be the most used outdoor facility in this community,” said Sturdy. “As a committee, we were thinking of a three tiered approach to funding, from the community, municipality and external revenue.”

She explained the committee had set up a charitable fund through the North Grenville Community Fund, called the North Grenville Family Recreation and Leisure Fund. This fund is not designated strictly to building a Splash Pad, so moving into the future, other community groups can utilize the fund already in place to pursue other recreation oriented projects.

So far, the Splash Pad Committee has raised

GARDENER’S CORNER

Frost Zone

The temperature has been holding steady at -15 degrees all day. Environment Canada said that the wind would shift this afternoon and come out of the southwest and the mercury would soar to plus 3. I guess the flag in the front yard didn’t get the memo. I’m looking at a north wind and it just slipped back to -16 as the sun is setting.

The last few nights we’ve bottomed out around -26 degrees. We have everything that will generate heat in the house going full tilt trying to keep this old farmhouse liveable and the pipes from freezing. The hydro smart meter thinks it’s getting smarter all the time. The propane tanks are depressed and the wood pile is paltry.

And just when you think it will never get warm, you open your inbox and receive a letter from a reader that warms your heart.

She started by apologizing for bothering me with a gardening question. At -26 degrees, a gardening question was most welcome. So what was the question?

She and her husband moved to the Kemptville area from Nova Scotia. They are avid gardeners but not really skilled with the internet. “What hardiness zone are we in?”

Sounds like a simple question but it’s not that easy. Most zone hardiness maps including Agriculture Canada put the Kemptville area squarely in zone 5A but that map was last revised in 2000 and the data is even older.

$1800.

“Our goal is to raise $20,000 a year for the next two years,” said Sturdy.

She explained the committee is looking for a financial commitment from council.

“So we can go back out into the community and say we got the green light, let’s go,” said Sturdy. “It can’t happen without council’s support.”

She explained that based on the 2011 census, it would cost each resident $10 to build a Splash Pad at Riverside Park.

“We were quoted at $150,000 for a Splash Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND Pad,” said Sturdy.

Riverside Park in Kemptville is the desired location for a future She explained the com- splash pad. mittee is seeking a capital investment of $50,000 per responsible for the Splash Pad maintenance, which year, for two years, from council. she believes will be somewhere in the area of “I see here you’ve allotted $50,000 to Riverside $15,000 annually.

Park in the 2015 budget, so I’m wondering if that David Gordon, North Grenville Mayor and money can be reallocated to the Splash Pad,” said Warden of Leeds and Grenville, said Riverside Sturdy.

Park would be the ideal location for a Splash Pad, She explained the committee’s hope is to part- but eQuinelle is already building a Splash Pad that ner with the municipality. will be open to the public.

“We need to do this together,” said Sturdy.

“In the future, there will probably be a Splash “We’ve been doing this for three years and we’re Pad in Kemptville, but not at this time,” said Gorgoing to keep coming back to get some leadership don. “We can’t justify putting money towards a from council.”

Splash Pad when there’s already going to be one in She explained the municipality would also be North Grenville.”

I told this lady that we COMMUNITY live a scant 10 miles news south of her location and we have never had a problem with any plant tagged zone 5. We have even taken flyers on a few zone 6 plants that, if given protection, do well.

So what does zone 5AINSIDE really mean? It means that we can expect winter low temperatures of -29 to -23 degrees. They got that right. Select your perennials, shrubs and trees with this in mind. But, and this is a big but, there are micro-climates all over our area, particularly along the seaway. If REGION there is something you just have to include in your garden and the tag says zone 6, give it protection from the northeast wind and make sure the roots are well mulched over the winter months. .COM The other factor to consider is our last frost free date. For this zone it is mid May. That is an average. You can take a chance and put out tender plants on May 15th but the odds are 50/50 that we will get a hard frost. With every following week, your odds improve.

I’m tired of talking about cold and frost.

I welcome the longer days. This year I will have more time to get our garden back in shape. More time with the poultry and more time to putter. Until then, I will throw another log on the fire and look to the inbox for something that warms the heart.

The story of the juicer - a waste of fibre Heather Westendorp

Health - After reading several articles about the benefits of ‘juicing,’ I ran to Canadian Tire and purchased a $100 juicer thinking this would help me increase vegetable and fruit intake. Yeah for more vitamins and micro-nutrients!

But upon getting home and reading the instructions for the machine, I quickly realized how little a juicer will actually do for me. I dreamed of making fabulous fruit and veggie smoothies to quickly absorb into my body.

In order to make a proper smoothie, I was using both the juicer and the blender. The juicer machine would not take oranges, grapefruits, pineapple or bananas. I was very limited on the vegetables too, depending on the rind or pith.

I went ahead and threw in carrots and some apples for a delightful mix of flavour. But I could not add my broccoli, cauliflower, herbs or even radishes due to the textures. I honestly thought you just threw everything into it and created magical taste that would nourish the body.

My next great lesson was cleaning the thing! A metal filtration device is wonderful until you go to clean it. With multi layers, it is impossible to remove all the residue and you simply hope that plenty of hot water running through the sieve will clean it. With raw fruit and vegetable, this was a major concern.

The next step was cleaning the reservoir where all the fibrous material went. I was good and put it all in my compost pile, but as I was doing that, I counted how much fibre was being donated to the ground rather than helping my digestive system. This is fine for someone who needs to reduce fibre due to digestive problems or illness, but I am a person who needs at least 30 grams of fibre a day. Throwing all the skins away was simply terrible!

The amount of food required for a half cup of juice was amazing. It felt like a week worth of groceries every couple of days. One bag of carrots and a bag of apples seemed to simply disappear with this machine and come out in dribbles accounting only a few ounces. I saw these wonderful and healthy people advertising these juicers as the magic to health and wellness, but for some reason I did not see the trunk-load of food product that went into producing this liquid gold. I take five bags for my groceries and can fill them for around $200 (a lot of money). Imagine just putting all that money through a blender and drinking it. In the winter months fresh food tends to be more expensive and the thought of just blending it into a watery substance without fibre and being hungry an hour later seems terribly wasteful to me.

I might just as well drink water and throw in frozen strawberries, mangos and blueberries. At least I eat them at the end when they are thawed. A chopped

vegetable tray brightens up any snack table! The flavour is great from the juicer, but the loss of fibre is basically throwing the good stuff in the garbage and it really is not advisable to live on carrot juice. Again the carrot has great nutritional offerings in its fibrous whole.

Needless to say, the juicer sits in my kitchen and seldom gets used. Unless my grandson comes to visit and he just likes to shove whole apples and carrots into the machine for fun! I will grant you that not everyone has teeth that can chew through a huge amount of vegetables, but I would think that a light steaming or roasting to soften foods would yield a better product than eliminating all the fibre! There is definitely some vitamin loss with steaming (depending on time), but surely there is a better way to process. I often shred carrots finely into a salad to help my husband enjoy them without losing the fibre.

Juicers are fine for some applications, but selling them as the new and healthier way to enjoy massive amounts of vegetables and fruit may be a little overzealous for the individual trying to eat more fresh foods. I think my $100 would have been better spent on simply buying more vegetables and fruit.

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

She has also lost over 42 lbs and is now a healthier weight, improving her health status!

Federal grant helps mill with additional features News – The Spencerville Mill is already one of the region’s foremost attractions, but work is underway to make the historic site an even better destination for history buffs and tourists alike.

Members of the board of the Spencerville Mill Foundation joined municipal dignitaries in the Edwardsburgh/ Cardinal council chamber in Spencerville last Thursday to hear Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown, speaking on behalf of the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, Shelly Glover, announce a $20,000 grant to the mill for planned upgrades to the centuries-old building.

Pointing out that the former grist mill had been a focal point of the community for 200 years, initially as an engine of the local agricultural industry, Brown acknowledged that the building is now “an important historical site and valuable cultural asset.”

“Our government recognizes that arts and culture are important generators of economic growth, jobs and wealth in our communities,” he said.

The money was provided through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, which seeks to help non-profit arts and heritage organizations refurbish their venues and acquire equipment or materials that will further improve their facilities.

The $20,000 will allow the mill foundation to continue pursuing its plans to greatly enhance the capacity of the historic site to tell the story of Spencerville, of the mill and of the history of this region.

“This is a huge first step in that direction,” says Sheila Fawcett, chair of the mill foundation, who co-authored the

federal grant application with fellow board member Patti Harper.

The biggest part of what Fawcett calls phase one of a much larger, long-term project, is the opening to the public of the spacious upper floor of the mill.

But that required the installation of a new fire escape and improved lighting, expensive additions that will now be covered by the $20,000 grant.

In addition to the considerable expansion of exhibition space, the mill foundation also plans additional exhibits and improvements to existing ones.

The preservation and presentation of historic artifacts is also key to the group’s future plans, as is the enhancement of the display spaces with museumquality cabinetry.

Another big ambition is getting the mill up and running and placing in the newly-renovated top floor some of the equipment and machinery that would have been found there two centuries ago. “That will really help to complement the story of milling and its pivotal role in our community,” said Fawcett.

News – The generosity of Canadians from coast to coast has properly outfitted a local man who is fighting alongside the Kurds against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq.

About two weeks before Christmas, Russell Hillier, the brother of Afghanistan veteran Dillon Hillier, started a crowd-funding campaign to outfit his brother with night vision goggles.

One week into his military excursion in Iraq this past November, Dillon took part in a big battle against ISIS forces.

After the battle, “I talked to Dillon via text message.

I asked him what I could do to help.”

The answer from the front came back loud and clear: night vision goggles.

“The Islamic State, they often attack at night,” said Russell, speaking via telephone from Calgary, Alta., where he teaches junior high school physical education and social studies.

While the Kurds are “well trained and disciplined,” Russell said that the ISIS fighters are often better equipped, mostly because they were able to raid two divisions worth of U.S. Army armaments and equipment last summer, when the Iraqi army failed to fight, and simply disappeared, from the town of Mosul – allowing ISIS to move in unopposed.

The first fundraising goal of $8,200 was raised “very quickly,” so Russell decided to keep going and upped the ante to $17,000, an amount that was reached just before Christmas.

“Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect, if it

would be successful,” Russell said. “I was extremely happy that people were so eager to help.

They supported what my brother was doing… they wanted to make a difference.”

While his heart is warmed by the generosity of other Canadians, as a brother, he cannot help but worry.

“It’s a constant worry,” Russell said. “I wish he had not gone to fight ISIS in Kurdistan. I asked him not to go.”

But this online crowdsourcing initiative was “a way to channel that into something positive.”

Not only does Dillon now have his own night vision goggles, the money also went to purchase a bullet-proof vest. He is also looking to purchase a thermal optical scope.

“They have come into use,” said Russell, who last spoke to his brother this past Sunday, Jan. 18 on the phone. “They were put to good use. He was extremely grateful.”

Russell hears from his brother a couple of times a week, usually along the lines of “I’m OK,” but “if something important happens, he will give me a little bit more detail.”

But he has warned his brother only to contact him after the battle has ended.

“When he is on the front lines, don’t even think about messaging me,” he said.

“It’s such a fluid situation. He often doesn’t know what will happen hour to hour. It is an active war zone.”

Dillon flew over to Iraq on his own dime, and paid for his own gear on a volunteer basis.

Small hospitals working together to enhance pharmacy services News - A project supported by the Champlain LHIN aims to improve the quality of care in small hospitals across the region.

Eight hospitals of the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals have implemented the first steps toward a collaborative pharmacy.

Underway since 2013, the project began with a detailed feasibility and planning phase which has led to the creation of a rural model that builds on existing capacity and defines common standards and services across the eight organizations.

Through the small and rural hospital transformation fund, the Champlain LHIN provided over $895,000 in the past two years to support the new model.

Purchases included drug packaging units and automated drug distribution cabinets, two tools that help reduce medication errors.

Previously, due to limited pharmacist coverage during nights and weekends, nurses at the eight hospitals had to access the hospital pharmacy and measure out medications themselves afterhours.

As a result of recent improvements, nurses can now obtain pre-measured dosages from distribution units located right on the patient ward.

“With the regional approach, hospital pharmacists can learn from each other and gain efficiencies,” says Pharmacist Kevin

McDonald, Deep River and District Hospital Corporation.

“It’s great to see the hospitals moving forward in terms of pharmacy automation and medication safety.”

The regional pharmacy group has also increased communications and aligned their medication choices with The Ottawa Hospital’s Pharmacy and Therapeutic committee, which reviews new medications for appropriateness and safety. By following this committee’s guidelines, small hospital pharmacists can benefit from the knowledge and expertise of the largest hospital in the region.

“Integrating pharmacy services between small and rural hospitals will improve the quality and safety of services for patients being transferred between hospitals or returning home from hospital,” says Chantale LeClerc, CEO Champlain LHIN. “This project will ensure that people living in rural areas receive the best possible care based on the latest research findings."

In the coming months, the eight hospitals plan to share resources to create a system of 24/7 on-call pharmacist expertise.

They also aim to put in place a bar-coding system that scans medications and patient bracelets to ensure a proper match.

“These are the first steps, and they are dramatic steps,” says Gary Sims, project lead and CEO

Deep River and District Hospital.

“I think the project speaks loudly to the partnership and support from the LHIN and the front-line staff.

The credit for the installation, implementation and the real movement forward at the patient level really comes down to the pharmacy leadership group and the clinical and management staff at each of the sites who have worked very hard.”

Members of the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals are: Almonte General Hospital Arnprior Regional Health Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Deep River and District Hospital Corporation Glengarry Memorial Hospital in Alexandria Kemptville District Hospital Renfrew Victoria Hospital, and St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay. “This funding has improved the quality of patient care in rural hospitals,” says MPP John Yakabuski (Renfrew-NipissingPembroke).

“Sharing resources and knowledge through a regional pharmacy model is beneficial for patients and their families in our region,” he added.

Calabogie Ski Racing Club opens 2015 race season Submitted

Sports - The Calabogie Ski Racing Club (CSRC) has opened up another race season.

After a fall dryland training program, the athletes were keen to get out on the snow. Thanks to Calabogie Peaks’ snowmaking, the racers were able to start carving it up in mid-December.

They have just wrapped up an intensive race camp at Calabogie Peaks which ran almost every day through the Christmas holidays. The racers are eagerly anticipating the beginning of the race tour, which began Jan. 17.

CSRC is a competitive alpine ski racing program focused on the development of youth into

competitive athletes and responsible young adults. The club is athlete-centred, which encourages personal growth and develops individual potential. Athletes race within the National Capital Division of Alpine Ontario, against racers from other ski hills in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. CRSC offers 5 age divisions: U10, ages 8-9; U12, ages 10-11; U14, ages 12-13; U16, ages 14-15; and U18, ages 16-17.

Calabogie’s membership stands at a record high of 56 athletes this year, who come from all over Eastern Ontario, from Calabogie to Deep River, and as far away as Kingston and Kemptville.

Gold Rush

The racers will spend the next few weekends training to compete in upcoming Slalom and Giant Slalom (GS) races. In Slalom, racers navigate tight courses by pulling off quick short-radius turns, whereas in GS the turns are longer and the speed greater.

The U16/18 group kicked off the season with a Giant Slalom race at Mont Ste. Marie Jan. 17, while the U14s traveled to Vorlage, Que. for their first Slalom. The U14s and U16/18s then traveled to Quebec again for races on Jan. 18.

The U12s opened their season on home territory Jan. 24 with a Panel Slalom, while the youngest competitors, U10, were at Camp Fortune Jan. 25 for a Slalom.

Aphroditi Escape Spa seeks to pamper locals jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Business – Sherry-Lynn Stark always wanted to do something in life that would make others feel good about themselves.

Stark opened the Aphroditi Escape Spa and Salon in Kemptville on Nov. 21, 2014.

She grew up in the small town of Madoc before moving to the big city of Ottawa in the mid-1980s to find better work opportunities in the service industry.

“I lived in Ottawa for about 15 years before moving to Kemptville in 2001,” said Stark.

She explained she was looking for something on the water as she enjoys boating.

“We (Stark and her husband) bought a house on River Road,” she said. “Kemptville is perfectly situated for commuting into the city.”

She explained it was always her dream to work in esthetics and start her own business.

“I started my business in my home back in 2008, which required a move to a bigger house to accommodate my spa.”

She explained she loves everything about the esthetic world and the satisfaction that comes from making people feel good about themselves.

“I love the fact someone can come in stressed and leave de-stressed, looking great and feeling great,” said Stark. “I love pampering people.”

She said her home business was limiting, as she only had space to accommodate individuals rather than groups, such as wedding parties.

“I was limited working by myself,” said Stark. “I needed more space to expand my business.”

Now Stark has an impressive spa and two employees to solidify her dream.

“I chose this location because of its heritage,” said Stark. “I wanted to be downtown and to avoid shopping centers. I wanted my spa to be unique.”

She explained her spa is a place where people aren’t receiving a service, but rather an experience.

“We go over and above a regular spa experience. We pamper them and personalize their treatment. We make it their day when they come here.”

She explained the little things are what will set her spa apart from others, such as taking clients coats and hanging them up and making them a fresh cup of coffee to enjoy.

“The little things are what people come back for,” said Stark.

The services at Aphroditi Escape Spa and Salon include hair, manicures, pedicures, body wraps, body scrubs, eye lash extensions, waxing and bio-sculpture nails.

“Bio-sculpture is my specialty,” said Stark.

She explained there will be massages available in the future.

The spa is a newly renovated and remodeled masterpiece of modern style.

“All the design elements were my own,” said Stark. “I put my heart and soul into this place, every little bit of it.”

She explained Kemptville has nothing else like this in terms of spa environment.

“I wanted something urban, upbeat, modern and trendy,” said Stark.

Walking into the spa is like walking into a magazine.

“It’s really quite beautiful and I encourage everyone to stop by and take a look,” said Stark.

She explained the spa is also hosting events

for locals, such as one that just passed with a make-up artist from Montreal who represents the Jane Iredale line of cosmetics.

“The event was sold out,” said Stark. “We’ll probably have one event each month, on average.”

The spa features an urban, yet cozy, lounge, where clients are welcome to relax and take a load off. A singles room and couples room, which is unique to Kemptville. There is also a bio-sculpture nails center, a hair coloring center, a make-up display, a nail bar, a hair station MacKAY FUNERAL HOME and a custom built pedicure station.

Your small town funeral home where family comes first “I’m glad that I am able to give back to the 416 Dibble Street W., Prescott, Ontario community now, being a business owner,” said Stark.

“It’s nice being downtown and being able to assist in the promotional aspect of what downSAFETY TIPS town Kemptville has to offer,” said Stark.

“Please drop by, have a cup of coffee and see what we have to offer,” said Stark. “Once people see this place, they end up booking some sort of treatment.”

Aphroditi Escape Spa and Salon is located at 13 Clothier St. in Kemptville, above the Branch Restaurant.

News - The Carleton Golf & Country Club in Manotick will be buzzing with many bashful brides-to-be on Sunday, Feb.1 as they spend the day planning their wedding at the With This Ring Bridal Showcase.

With the loss of several small town bridal shows in the area, Breanna Deveau of Floral Reef Designs of North Gower and Julia O’Grady of ITM Events of Kemptville, saw a need to bring a new show to the area.

“The small town shows are not only more affordable for the vendors to showcase in but are also a much more intimate and personal atmosphere for the brides. They can get up close and personal with the vendors and not feel rushed or overwhelmed by the crowds of the big city shows,” said O’Grady.

Doors open at 10 a.m. for those with VIP tickets. General admission starts at 11 a.m. followed by a fashion show by The Handmade Bride at 11:30 a.m.

The rest of the day is for the brides to spend getting to know our vendors and hopefully secur-

The dance marathon mission is to raise money and awareness for the fight against childhood diseases.

Students fundraise to make a difference in the lives of children and youth at CHEO. The mantra for the marathon is ‘dance for those who can’t.’

There are many prizes available to be won, including an early bird draw of two tickets to the Escapade Music Festival 2015 for people who register, a $50 gift card per month to any OttawaVenues location for the highest individual fundraiser and a VIP DNA Presents experience for eight to 12 people for the highest fundraising team.

The highest fundraising school wins the official dance marathon trophy and bragging rights.

Disease.

Completely separate from the Leukemia that Underhill battled for years, Schaumann’s Disease is an autoimmune condition that causes the tissue between the skin and the muscles, called fascia, to harden.

“I walked like the tin man when it was really bad,” Underhill said with a smile.

“My doctors compared my limbs to wood, they were that hard to bend.”

Schaumann’s Disease isn’t fatal, but it requires constant treatment to combat, which means Underhill is still spending much of her time in the hospital.

“Everyone at CHEO is really great,” Underhill said. “They’ve always been really nice to me and made my time at the hospital as good as it could be.”

The Dance Marathon 2015, which raises money for CHEO, will be from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Green Room and Liquor Store located at 128 York Street in Ottawa.

WHEN: Sunday, February 1st – 2:00PM WHERE: Municipality of North Grenville arena, Kemptville HOW YOU CAN HELP: Purchase a sporty puck or ball for a chance to win prizes during the intermission.

Canadian Tire will match all Canadian Tire money donated during this game (max. $200). All proceeds will be donated to JumpStart Kemptville Chapter to benefit children in North Grenville.

SPORTS

Offence continues to sparkle for 73’s Brian Wilson

Sports - On Thursday, Jan. 22, Kemptville traveled to the Kanata Recreation Complex to battle the last place Kanata Lasers.

Playing the last place team always presents challenges because they have nothing to lose and no expectations. And, as promised, put up a tough fight. Erik Brown scored the only goal of the first period, giving Kemptville a 1-0 lead. Jason Tackett and Alex Row picked up the assists. In the second period, Cody Hendsbee and Tackett set up Row for a power play goal. The 73's took a 2-0 advantage into the second period.

Row scored his second of the game, this time from Dan Monk and Brown, to make it 3-0.

The Lasers were finally able to solve Kemptville goaltender, Nicholas Hodgins, to bring the score to 3-1. Brown added an empty net goal late in the period, assisted by Tackett.

That goal brought Brown's total for the year to 21. It was another milestone for the player who earned the honourable mention for “player of the week� from the CCHL last week. Alex Row and Erik Brown were named first and second stars respectively.

Each had 2 goals and 1 assist in the game.

Friday, Jan. 23 saw the team play their second game in as many nights.

This game started with a bus ride to Hawkesbury to battle the Hawks. This season, each skir-

mish has been a fast, intense, hard hitting game from which neither team would back down.

As expected, this game was no different. The Hawks outshot the 73's 41-38 and both teams went 3-5 on the powerplay.

Alex Row opened the scoring, from Brown and Tackett, getting Kemptville out to an early 1-0 lead. Hawkesbury came back and scored twice to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. In the second, neither team was able to get the upper hand even though the 73's doubled the Hawks in shots. The third period was a scorekeepers nightmare as eight goals were scored. Going into the period, Kemptville scored twice to take a 3-2 lead.

First, Row scored his 22nd of the year and his second of the game, assisted by Erik Brown and Jason Tackett. That goal was followed up by Dean Galasso and Shawn Cameron setting up Tyson Kirkby's 10th of the season.

Hawkesbury took over the game after that outburst by scoring four goals in just over a five minute span to take a 6-3 lead.

Kemptville was not done. Tackett and Row set up Brown for a goal at the 16:07 mark to make it 6-4.

That was followed up by Matt Tugnutt's 12th of the year from Galasso.

But that ended a valiant comeback attempt as Kemptville went down to a 6-5 defeat at the hands of the Hawks.

Another great offensive output by the team. Galasso had two

assists, Tackett picked up three, Brown had a goal and two assists while Row accounted for two goals and an assist. Alex Row was named the game's third star.

This week's games have Kemptville travelling to Cornwall to play the Colts on Thursday, January 29.

This Saturday, Jan. 31 the 73's host the Pembroke Lumber Kings for a 7 p.m. face off.

Saturday, January 31, is the CCHL's second annual “Do It For Daron� event taking a stand against teen depression.

This special event, Hockey Day in Kemptville, is being held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.

The CCHL is once again aligned with Do It For Daron to help raise funds for youth mental health, bringing awareness and treatment to the forefront.

All proceeds will go to D.I.F.D. and the development of their "Game Ready" phone app.

The day will showcase all 12 teams from the CCHL each playing one game in Kemptville, with the first of six games starting at 1pm. The league will conduct a ceremonial face-off prior to the 7 p.m. game as the Kemptville 73’s host the Pembroke Lumber Kings.

CCHL hosts Hockey Day in Kemptville and takes a stand against teen depression Submitted

Sports - The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) is pleased to be hosting the second annual “Hockey Day� which was previously their Winter Showcase.

It features all 12 Junior A teams playing six games under a single roof.

This year Kemptville was awarded the event which will take place this Saturday, Jan. 31 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre (285 County Rd. 44) with the first puck drop at 1 p.m.

The CCHL is also thrilled to once again align with Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) and help raise funds towards the awareness and treatment of youth mental health.

The league will conduct a

ceremonial face-off prior to the 7 p.m. game as the Kemptville 73’s host the Pembroke Lumber Kings. “We’re very excited to host this event again, the fact that we can showcase our whole league under one roof, and also bring more exposure to the growing issues around teen mental health makes it that much more special� said Kevin Abrams, CCHL Commissioner.

Proceeds from the tickets, 50-50 and silent auction will be donated to D.I.F.D and the development of their “Game Ready� phone app. Abrams adds, “our owners, management and players are committed, they’re very proud to be wearing the D.I.F.D purple and white that day as a show of support for this outstanding cause.�

The official Hockey Day schedule (January 31, 2015) can be found at http://cchl_hockey2. stats.pointstreak.com/leagueschedule.html?leagueid=349.

In Ontario, approximately 500,000 young people (1 in 5) suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder.

A third of these cannot access the services they need. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teenagers in Ottawa, and Canada's youth suicide rate is the fourth highest among OECD countries. The funds raised will support D.I.F.D and Hockey Fights Mental Health initiative through the Sens Foundation.

Making modifications to your vehicle can come with definite risks Lifestyle – I received an email recently from a reader who had been in a collision with his subcompact import. He felt that one of the contributing factors was the close placement of the brake and gas pedals because when he applied the brake in a panic stop, his foot also contacted the gas pedal, thus, (in his opinion), reducing the effectiveness of the brakes. He contacted a manufacturer-approved service department (the company no longer sells passenger vehicles in this country) and mentioned his concern, but was told there were no recalls or bulletins regarding this issue so nothing could be done. Both he and his wife no longer felt safe operating the vehicle so he took it upon himself to modify the brake pedal to provide more space between it and the gas pedal.

I reviewed the data I had access to on this particular make and model and could find no credible sources that indicated the pedal configuration was a problem or risk. Being involved in a collision (even a slight one) can jar more than the nuts and bolts of an auto or the

bones and bodies of its occupants. They can often be emotional events and can leave behind damage that no body shop will ever be able to repair. I myself have been involved in four collisions over five decades of driving and each and every one of them was caused by driving error (my own errors in three of the cases and probably the fourth as well). I never said I was a great driver.

There was very little advice or information I could provide to this reader to change his mind on the safety of this vehicle but I did recommend that he return the pedals to their manufacturer’s original design, even if it meant replacing them with new units. The problem with home-modifying vehicles is that the end results have never been tested in a proper laboratory manner.

I will admit that there are many vehicles on the road today that received such testing and still are collisions waiting to happen; think GM ignition switches and Takata airbag recalls for recent examples. But changing brake and gas pedal configurations represent real risks and

injuries. In the event of a severe frontal collision, engine-to-passenger compartment bulkheads and floor panels can intrude into the passenger cabin. These intrusions are often the cause of lower leg injuries. Extending a brake pedal can mean it will contact the driver’s legs in a manner never intended by the manufacturer and will very likely result in more severe injuries. Then there’s the chance that the modification might fail altogether leaving the driver’s foot planted on a disconnected brake pedal in a panic stop.

On a lighter note…

From page 34

“Hi Brian, I think you have discussed this before, but I don’t recall your answer.

My 2005 Vibe’s plastic lenses on headlights have the signs of ageing plastic – is there any product that can clean off the layer of oxidized plastic?

I have no idea how much more it would cost to have glass-covered headlights – the slight cost could be easily added to the cost of a car without anyone really noticing, it seems to me. Of

course, they might not be able to make the fancy wrap-around headlight designs with glass. Are the new halogen headlights glass or plastic?”

Thanks, Up the Creek in North Elmsley There are a variety of products available at auto-parts stores to restore the shine to plastic headlamp lenses with very little effort. Two of the more popular brands are Mother’s and Meguiars (look or ask for headlamp restoration kits). The kits contain one or two grades of liquid abrasives, application

pads, and cleaning fabrics. The process involves using the abrasives to remove the top layer of plastic to restore the clarity of the lenses. There are also companies selling protective self-adhesive clear film to apply to the lamps to protect the lenses. These films will still ‘fog’ with age and exposure to the environment, but when they get too cloudy, you can simply peel them off and replace them. They can and should be applied to older lamps after restoration, because a restored lamp will become cloudy much faster

than a new one.

As far as using glass, I’m afraid that material has gone the way of the fullsized spare tire in auto design. Even halogen and high-intensity discharge lamps use plastic lenses. Plastics are much lighter than glass allowing carmakers to shave off excess weight to meet ever-more stringent fuel economy standards. Plastics also allow designers to create more exotic shapes and configurations in their vehicles’ lamps.

CAR

New Outlander is business-like and distraction free Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships.

I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higherend models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff.

It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Rivington Mitsubishi in Carleton Place.

The Mitsubishi Outlander for 2015 is in its second year of a redesign, and while it’s considered a compact SUV, its interior space for cargo and passengers fall well into the mid-sized segment. Mitsubishis of late are well known for their clean lines and uncluttered body exteriors, both traits that keep them looking fresh long into their lives; a good thing considering Mitsubishi is still the warranty-leader with an amazing 10-year/160,000 km power-train coverage.

The Outlander is offered in four trim/equipment levels and starts at $25,998 for the ES front-wheel drive and goes up to $39,098 for a fully-loaded GT all-wheel drive.

My GT tester from Rivington Mitsubishi (only missing navigation and upgraded paint) crossed the price line at $36,198 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, taxes, license fees, or current incentives). The first two ES level Outlanders are powered by a 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine and the GT’s find a 3.0 L V6 under the hood mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The V6 puts out a respectable 227 hp and with the shift patterns of the transmission

Auto Know

Brian turner

provides a very strong acceleration band.

As clean and distraction-free as its exterior, the inside of the Outlander is equally businesslike but with a surprising amount of thought put into comfort and safety. Front seats are supportive and easy on the long haul and no one will feel crowded even when wearing bulky winter clothing. The third row seating is, as with most compact and mid-sized SUV’s and cross-overs, best left to the younger set, but it folds flat when not in use, providing a solid load floor for cargo and gear. The second row has a one-touch release and slide control to provide easy access to the rearmost seats and will fold flat for a class-leading 1,792 litres (63 cubic feet) of space. A power and remote operated lift-gate and low entry level makes loading and unloading a breeze.

The Outlander’s all-wheel drive system is controlled by a handy rotary switch and gives drivers four options; Eco, normal, snow, and lock. In Eco mode, power is supplied to the front wheels until wheel slippage is noted by sensors and then the rear wheels are instantly brought into play. Snow settings keep power to the rears continually and the lock setting is for off-road or county back-roads.

Most SUV makers forget that their customers may actually need this type of control but Mitsubishi has always offered it in their vehicles.

I lucked out and road tested the Outlander on a particularly snippy winter day giving the heating system a full workout (this is a fast warm-up creature) and having a chance to gauge the squeak and rattle level that many modern materials cause on cold days.

The Outlander was as quiet as a mouse and was sure-footed, even on snow-packed roads. The power train was equally quiet, requiring more than an occasional glance at the speedometer as the legal limit can quickly be surpassed with little gas-pedal effort.

Mitsubishi has traded some cosmetic features commonly found

on higher-level SUVs for the latest in safety technology. Rather than heated seats and steering wheels (we do dress for winter, don’t we?) the Outlander has lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation, and adaptive cruise control (very surprising in a mid-$30,000 vehicle).

Fuel mileage for the V6 Outlander is also impressive at 11.5 L/100 km city and 8.4 L/100 km highway (24.6 mpg and 33.6 mpg respectively). Its 60 L tank should deliver a 550 km range in mixed driving and cost less than $60 to fill at $1/L. The P225/55R18 tires my tester wore are available from a large selection of manufacturers starting at $150 each.

As with other vehicles in the Mitsubishi family, the Outlander is feature-laden for its price point.

But they have gone one step further to package the right mix of safety, styling, and performance into a very livable transport that can go beyond simply meeting the needs of their owners. Learn to enjoy Canadian winter driving again and check out the Outlander.

Yours in service, Brian Turner

HICKEY Bernard Patrick It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Bernie on January 21, 2015 in his 85th year.

Bernie was the cherished husband of Rita (O’Brien) for 60 years. He was a loving father to Pat (Carol), Greg (Rita), Brian, John (Jane), Tony, Danny (Sherri), Des (Colleen), Mary Ann (deceased 1988) and Kevin (Cheri). He was a special grandfather to Kelvin (Heather), Krista (Adam), Don (Ashley), David (Olivia), Julia, Harrison, Jenna, Matthew, Liam, Tristan, Jaxon, Grace, Tara (Winston), and Derek (Kellie). Bernie was predeceased by his parents Joseph Hickey and Irene Sheehan, his sister Joan, and brothers Merv (Yvonne), Leo, and Wilfrid. He is survived by several nieces and nephews. Born and raised on “Hickey Road” in the homestead of his Irish ancestors in North Onslow, Quebec, Bernie and his family eventually settled with his father on the “farm” in Almonte. A proud retiree of OC Transpo, Bernie spent 39 years behind the wheel of a bus. When it came to driver safety records and providing service to the public, he set the bar at the highest level. A life long farmer Bernie took great pride in working the land, tending the cattle and providing for his family. In the valley he was renowned for the quality of his herd, his love of haggling out a good deal, his deep knowledge of the farming industry, his willingness to help those in need, his handshake. Bernie epitomized the phrase “a hard days work never hurt anyone”. His passing will be deeply felt.

Friends were received at the C. R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON.

BERTRAM

Sonja Erika (née Zeritsch)

Sonja passed away at the General Hospital in Ottawa Ontario, on Friday January 23, 2015.

Beloved soulmate to her husband James, Sonja was the heart and soul of her family.

Cherished daughter of Maria Solomon and the late Walter Zeritsch. Vibrant mother of Erika Cuccaro (Joseph) and James Ainslie Bertram and adored Oma to Matteo and Leona Cuccaro. Sonja will be sorely missed by heartbroken family and friends across Canada, Austria, and Liechtenstein.

Born in Leoben, Austria on March 17, 1947, Sonja spent her childhood in Austria before moving to Canada at the age of eight. Sonja developed a deep love of her adopted homeland as she learned English and attended school. After graduating from Gloucester High School, Sonja started work at Met Life in Ottawa. Her striking good looks and warm personality caught the eye of fellow employee James Bertram. He asked her on a date and the rest is history. Sonja and James were married on August 23, 1969 and enjoyed a deep and loving relationship that spanned 45 years. Sonja will be remembered for her charisma, wisdom, and open-hearted personality that made all feel welcome in her presence. She created a cozy nest of a home and enjoyed treating family and friends to home-cooked meals, sparkling conversation, and - always laughter. Friends are invited to remember Sonja at a Memorial Service at the Brown Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry (805 Prescott Street, Kemptville, ON K0G 1J0) on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 from 1:00 4:00pm.

McNAMEE, Peter – In loving memory of Pete my soulmate who passed away February 4, 2013.

You’ve just walked on ahead of me And I’ve got to understand You must release the ones you love And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can But I’m missing you so much If only I would see you And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you just walked on ahead of me Don’t worry I’ll be fine But now and then I swear I feel your hand slip into mine.

Love and miss you Mary
