OMAFRA to enter negotiations regarding Kemptville College Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – After months of waiting, the province has spoken.

The Municipality of North Grenville received word Jan. 30 that the province is prepared to enter into negotiations regarding the transfer of the Kemptville College property.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs sent out a press release shortly before noon, stating “the province is working with local municipalities to determine options for a sustainable path forward for agricultural education in Eastern Ontario.”

Specific to Kemptville, the province stated that Ontario is now taking steps to address the future of agricultural education in Eastern Ontario, including “working with the municipality of North Grenville to provide resources and support, and establishing a working group to explore new models for delivering agricultural learning, training and instruction at the Kemptville Campus” and “maintaining the Kemptville Campus facility for public use as the government en-

ters into negotiation with North Grenville to transfer the property to the municipality.”

The municipality sent out a press release, in response to the province’s statement.

“The municipality of North Grenville is encouraged to see this positive response from the Ministry and their intention to work together to secure a sustainable path forward for the Kemptville Campus,” said David Gordon, Mayor of North Grenville and Warden of Leeds and Grenville.

“Their commitment to provide resources and support will establish the solid foundation on which to develop new models for delivering agricultural education and training in Eastern Ontario.”

The municipality submitted their expression of interest, regarding acquisition of the Kemptville College, on Oct. 29, 2014.

The plan, according to municipal representatives, is to establish a not-for-profit organization run by a board of directors, which will take over operations at the college.

The municipality would own

the lands and buildings.

“Knowing that the Ministry is keen to extend resources and support to the Municipality, we can proceed to the negotiation stage regarding the transfer of the property to North Grenville,” said Brian Carré, North Grenville CAO. “We are eager to maintain the Kemptville Campus as an economic asset to our community, the region, and the province, being mindful that our first priority is to protect the interest of our local taxpayers.”

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark stated in a press release the same day the provincial government has once again kicked the can down the road when it comes to the future of agricultural education at Kemptville College.

He made the comment in response to the four-part plan for the future of Kemptville and Alfred Colleges released by OMAFRA. “I’m disappointed because while the minister has announced financial support to bring a new cohort of students to Alfred this fall, there was no money for education and students at Kemptville.

County council approves affordable housing funding News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Jan. 28 at the county building in Perth.

Council approved the allocation of additional one-time funding to six short-term initiatives to improve affordable housing in Lanark County.

Social services director Nancy Green explained the funds are part of the provincial Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative, which was introduced by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2013. Its goal was to consolidate five provincial homelessness-related programs in an effort to prevent, address and reduce homelessness by improving access to adequate, suitable and affordable housing linked to flexible support services and based on peoples’ needs.

The original allocation for 2014/15 was $876,000 and the new, one-time amount is almost $340,000. A request for expressions of interest in the new funding was advertised in the fall for initiatives up to $40,000. The funds were allocated as follows:

$40,000 to Carleton Place and District Core Youth Services, which offers a county-wide housing and homelessness support program for youth, to assist youth ages 16 to 26 with financial and caseworker support; $28,000 to The Table Community Food Centre to provide training and community events to enhance community knowledge regarding affordable housing; $36,000 to Cornerstone Landing Youth Services, which works to prevent youth homelessness, to provide financial support to youth in need who are attending school, along with promotional materials to conduct research regarding the issue of rural youth homelessness; $40,000 to the Susan Shirley Program and Parent Training Centre, a residential maternity home for young, at-risk mothers, to provide an emergency bed for a female youth and a support worker to assist homeless youth to successfully transition to healthy, independent living; $40,000 to Lanark County Mental Health to extend its rent-supplement program and to enhance its program for clients identified as at risk for homelessness or

Community – If you’re a charity or non-profit organization looking to raise some extra funds, Stonefields Heritage Farm has the answer.

The 120-acre event destination, nestled amidst the rural landscape of Beckwith Township, opened nominations for its second annual Charity Event Giveaway on Feb. 2. After five years spent establishing their business, owners Stephanie Brown and Steve Malenfant dreamed up the giveaway last year.

“The community has been so good to us and Steve and I feel so blessed that we want to give back. We’re always trying to find a way we can do that,” Brown remarked.

The inaugural event, a cocktail-style gala fundraiser to benefit the Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, was held last September.

“We’re super excited to be launching the second annual event and we’re doing it in the wintertime, to give the winner enough time to get geared up to organize the event for this summer,” Brown explained. “It’s all about raising as much funds as we can for charities.”

In this year’s giveaway, valued at up to $30,000, Stonefields donates not only their expansive grounds, but a selection of vendors in the winning package, including: food and serving staff from Thyme & Again Creative Catering, Temples + Taste and The Mixing Bowl; as well as music and sound equipment from Quality Entertainment; Mastermind Event Rentals will provide linens and décor; dishware will be on loan from Prior Engagements; Mill Street Florist will handle flowers; photography services will be offered by Union Eleven Photographers; and a limousine will be provided by East Coast Limos.

Brown said the photography and limousine services are new this year.

“We’ve included our official event photographer, Union Eleven Photographers, so the winner will get a photo package just as they would if they were hosting

the event themselves. The prize package is for a cocktail-style reception from 5 to 11 p.m. between June 11 and July 31 based on Stonefields’ availability.

“All of our partners get very busy with the wedding season, so June and July is a little bit better,” Brown explained.

The nominating process is simple and open to all charitable organizations within the greater Ottawa and Ottawa Valley. Charities must pitch their event and how it will be organized and funds will be raised, in two paragraphs or less, to Stonefields at charityevent@ stonefieldsheritagefarm.ca. All submissions will be viewed to ensure they are eligible and complete and will then be put into a draw.

The nomination period closes on March 2 and the winning submission will be chosen March 3. Brown said the result will be announced on www. stonefieldsheritagefarm.ca and on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ stonefieldsheritagefarm.

“We hope to get as many nominations as we can and want to make people aware of this opportunity. It’s a great opportunity because there’s nothing out there that exists quite like this,” Brown said. “For us to have a $30,000 free charity event giveaway is unique and we’re excited to get the word out about it.”

has made her a huge asset to the band.

Her joyful energy and personality mean she plays a large role with Endless Summer not only as a female vocalist but interacting with audiences.

“We really like her input even though there weren’t any girls in the original Beach Boys,” says Shear.

As both Shapiro and Shear point out the Beach Boys were an incredibly musical band, and were particularly known for their harmonies and experiments with sound. So while these guys don the Hawaiian shirts and the energy of the original band, they’re far more focused on recreating the enchantment of the Beach Boys sound.

“We’ve always found that people love the music and they’ll often sing along,” says Shapiro.

Endless Summer promises to bring back songs like Surfin’ USA, California Girls, In My Room and Good Vibrations and the 409 Medley so don’t miss all that energy and joy guaranteed to transport you from your seat at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre to a beach in the California sun!

The show starts at 7 p.m., door open at 6 p.m. and a cash bar is open throughout the evening. Of course parking is free and ample.

Arts – Celebrate Valentines and escape the winter cold with a Beach Boys tribute on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre. Canada’s own Endless Summer Beach Band will be rocking the house down with all the favourite Beach Boys hits.

To celebrate Valentine’s with warmth and romance the Gallipeau Centre is offering tickets at $20 a piece from Feb. 5 to the 12.

“We’ll play songs that will remind you of your first love,” says Jamie Shear, musical director and lead guitar.

The highly interactive show is touted as one of the most fun experiences an audience can have short of dancing on the beach!

“They’re one of those timeless bands and had so many hits that they appeal to a large audience, young and younger,” says Neil Shapiro, the drummer.

Each Endless Summer band member is a superb musician in their own right with an impressive array of musical experiences behind them. Shapiro’s experience as a drummer has spanned more than 40 years. Starting with ‘60s rock “garage bands”, he moved on to playing varied musical styles with a number of dance orchestras in the ‘70s, followed by a 10-year stint in Toronto’s highly acclaimed Remember When ‘50s-‘60s rock revival band.

Shear is hailed as one of the best musical directors in the business. He honed his craft as musical director at the Deerhurst Resort in northern Ontario, for a young Shania Twain, followed by Legends Alive. Recreating the Beach Boys he says is as much a treat for the five musicians as it is for the audiences.

“Jamie is a great MC, he brings a lot of humour and crowd interaction to the show,” says Shapiro.

According to Shear and Shapiro, the band’s goal is to give their audiences a feeling of warmth and create an image the California sun. They should be good at it, they’ve been together now for more than 15 years and have been delighting audiences from coast to coast, largely because they love the music of the Beach Boys themselves.

“I was always into cars, hot summers and girls and the harmonies of the Beach Boys – their lyrics spoke to me and I’ve always found them very musical,” says Shear.

A sentiment shared by the other band members each of whom say they revel in the tremendous energy and shear fun of the Beach Boys music.

Endless Summer’s lead vocalist is John Sharkey, who can effortlessly hit all those impossibly high vocal parts, he also plays just about any musical instrument a rock’n’roll band needs.

Randy Vanee on bass brings 20-year experience with a range of pop shows, variety and Legend Shows under his belt. Jayne Ryder, the female addition to the band is a singer songwriter with another 20 years experience. Her knowledge and mastery of harmony

All CCACs will work closely with health care partners during this strike to best support the continuity of care for all patients with minimal disruption.

• CCACs will continue to work closely with hospital partners to ensure patients are able to transition home from hospital safely.

Ten CCACs had been engaged in collective bargaining with ONA since spring 2014. ONA’s position on monetary issues has not changed since talks began. The CCACs’ offer, rejected by employees in nine CCACs, included a combination of wage increases and lump sums and were comparable to the collective agreements achieved with CCAC employees represented by OPSEU and CUPE.

Latest board meeting features presentation on Catholic Education Coalition multiple schools, communities and parishes, have all contributed to the growing strength of the coalition.�

The renewed visions for the CEC aims to expand the presence of the coalition. Each fall, the CEC will host one central coalition event, in addition to two or three regional events per year which will help to further unite homes, schools, and parishes. The central coalition, which includes all regions will also host a spring event, and two centrally held evening events. “These larger events would act as beacons of faith, showcasing not only what makes our Catholic system unique but demonstrating the strong bonds that exist among all stakeholders in our system,� explained Cameron. “Finally, the committee would report to the board on local coalition events. The new process will ensure we are engaging these partners within our communities.�

Crown Ward Education Championship Team The Crown Ward Education Championship Team (CWECT) initiative is a part of the provincial government’s “Reaching Higher� plan, first introduced in 2005.

A part of this plan is to enhance access to opportunities for youth with Crown ward status, and in particular to help Crown wards succeed in high school and post-secondary education.

The CWECT is a joint initiative with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, in partnership with other community stakeholders, working to encourage Crown wards to consider post-secondary education and to help them succeed should they make that choice. In total, 21 regional CWECTs have been established across the province.

Behaviour crisis consultants Trudy Rook and Sue Giff, presented information to the board on the CWECT initiative. “The CWECT is a communitybased partnership among children’s aid societies (CAS/FCS), school boards, postsecondary institutions and employment services to collaboratively plan and coordinate services that help meet the needs of youth with Crown ward status,� explained Rook. “Crown wards are children and youth who are wards of society.�

Commentary

Stiffer penalties won't end speeding

E

ditorial – With word that the provincial transportation ministry is mulling over the possibility of reducing the default speed limit in urban areas, the Canada Safety Council called last week for the introduction of a zero tolerance policy for speeding.

The assertion is that introducing and enforcing more serious penalties for drivers caught going five or 10 clocks over the limit would be a more effective approach.

A council official was correct when he asserted that there is an implicit tolerance in Ontario for minor speeding offences, as in no demerit points and fairly insignificant monetary fines.

How many of us will make a point of keeping our speeds no more than 10 to 15 km over the posted limit because of our belief that the police – with or without radar – are not going to waste their time pulling us over and writing a ticket?

There appears to be a mindset in our society that, short of blowing through a school, construction or community safety

zone or other sensitive location, it’s okay to go a little faster than the posted limit.

And yes, increasing the financial penalties would generate additional revenue for municipalities in the form of provincial offences act fines. But the cash cow would come with some costs, we suspect.

Police officers could end up spending a lot more time writing tickets if something along the lines of a zero tolerance approach were adopted. It doesn’t mean extra constables would have to be hired, but it could result in less attention being paid to other matters with which officers deal.

We agree that many people would consider reducing their speed if they were sure it would cost them to keep doing what they’ve been doing. Even with a significant increase in enforcement, enacting stiffer penalties to get people to drive at the posted speed limit instead of a few kilometres per hour higher would unlikely produce the desired effect of getting motorists who don’t get ticketed to change their behaviour.

Well, as so often happened after Mother came to the farm in Northcote fresh from living in New York City for 18 years, she had a lot to learn, and she relied more and more on Aunt Bertha Thom across the 20-acre field on the next farm.

It was Aunt Bertha who taught Mother how to make felt slippers to help keep our feet warm on the floors of a house with no cellar. It was Aunt Bertha who showed Mother how to put yellow beans in brine so they would taste like they had just been picked from the garden during the winter. And it was Aunt Bertha who helped put together a quilting frame and who showed Mother how

United Counties of Leeds and Grenville creates manager of roads position News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held on Thursday, Jan. 22 at the counties building in Brockville.

Counties council has approved the creation of a new position in the public works department. The position is manager of roads. The successful candidate will report to and be under the direction of the director of public works.

The manager will be responsible for managing the operations of the roads system for the counties and ensuring compliance with legislated requirements as well as engineering standards and practices.

Counties purchase land in Mallorytown Counties council has approved the purchase of the house and property at 1527 County Road 2 in Mallorytown, at the intersection of County Road 5 (south).

The intent is to widen the road allowance at the intersection. The property and its structures have been a traffic safety concern due to the angle at which the roads meet and the restricted right-of-way on County Road 5. It has been an issue particularly in periods when the Highway 401 Emergency Detour Route is in operation. Serious congestion and safety concerns are routinely experienced as tractor trailers negotiate the intersection.

The $100,000 purchase will be financed through reserves initially, including legal and environmental inspection fees.

The total cost of creating the road widening, net of any revenue derived from selling the surplus land/buildings, will be charged to the applicable

The kitchen table was cleared and the sheet thrown across it, just like a tablecloth. Mother made sure it was on exactly right...with the same amount of sheet hanging down on each side of the table. Then she took the scissors and with Audrey holding one side and me the other to keep the sheet in place, Mother cut the flannelette sheet in half, right down the middle.

Then the outer edges of the sheet were put together, Mother hauled it over to the old Singer sewing machine, and with Audrey and me feeding it up off the floor, the outer edges

I stood back and marveled at the cleverness of Aunt Bertha...there before me was a brand new sheet!

It took Mother the better part of a month to work through the old worn sheets, turning the outsides into the centres, so that they would see us through at least one more winter, and if we were lucky, maybe two. Finally, they would be cut up and put into the rag bag.

Mother had been taught yet another way of making do and surviving the Depression.

Protecting the services hard-working Ontarians depend on doesn’t require them to send more money to Queen’s Park – they’ve dug deep enough.

Consider that when the Liberal government was elected in 2003, Ontarians sent about $65 billion to Queen’s Park. Today, that figure has more than doubled to nearly $119 billion. So, the government has the resources.

Learn more about Canada’s voting system at Feb. 9 CFUW presentation Community – With a federal election looming this year, many questions come to mind. Why is Canadian voter turnout declining? Does your vote actually count? How can our system for voting be improved? What is proportional representation? What is Fair Vote Canada?

Find out the answers to these questions and more as the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth and District explores this topic at our fourth informative and educational program this season.

Please join us on Monday, Feb. 9 at the Royal Canadian Legion building at 26 Beckwith Street East in Perth promptly at 7 p.m. to learn more about voting in Canada and proportional representation.

You will meet Anita Payne who is a volunteer with Fair Vote Canada as well as a member of the Civic Literacy Group of CFUW. The evening will begin with a slide show presentation provided by the organization known as Fair Vote Canada.

The discussion will focus on proportion-

al representation versus the “First Past the Post” system we now have. Advantages of proportional representation will be discussed. As well, Anita will give a short review of the most recent legislation brought forward to improve democracy in Canada’s Parliament.

This presentation will provide all of us with valuable information, especially as there is a federal election coming this fall. Mark Feb. 9 on your calendar and join CFUW for a very informative and timely presentation.

CFUW is an organization of women, linked locally, nationally and internationally, to promote quality education, encourage participation in public affairs and improve the status of girls and women, all in an atmosphere of cooperation, fun and friendship.

Angels of mercy serve with very few plaudits Reflections

By Jeff maguire

quite right or it seemed too personal.

However, the experience my good friend Frank LeBlanc went through recently has brought the subject into clearer focus for me. I am now going to give credit where credit is due. These plaudits are long overdue.

The medical system in Ontario and Canada takes a lot of knocks. Most of the criticism surrounds lengthy wait times for surgery and other procedures or lack of access to regular care. There simply aren’t enough family doctors to go around, or so it seems.

That’s not a knock against physicians, nurses or other health care professionals. It is a systemic problem which requires a fix from those who hold the purse strings. It is easy to cast blame.

But if you’re going to be critical of the medical set-up in this province and this country then it is big government that has to stand up and be counted. The wheels of government turn slowly as we know.

When it comes to health care today, the wheels have to spin much faster in an effort to keep up. As Canadians age,

the pressure on the system increases at such a rate that finding enough money to manage our health care needs has become a huge challenge.

It isn’t the politics of health care I am focusing on this week. It is the good work taking place in our hospitals on a daily basis without enough credit given to those involved.

I can speak from some experience.

Both my parents went through lengthy hospital stays during the past three years.

My father passed away last November after battling heart disease for two years. He also fell and fractured a hip a year ago December. That was his second brush with death in a period of a few months.

ICU team fantastic Had it not been for the incredible efforts of the team in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Queensway-Carleton Hospital (QCH) in Ottawa he would never have survived the trauma resulting from the fall. He was in the ICU on Christmas Day 2013, which was very difficult for us, his family. The care and compassion shown to my Dad and to all of us by the phenomenal people in the ICU is something none of us will ever forget. They are truly fantastic and we are eternally grateful.

The same goes for staff at the Ottawa Heart Institute who undoubtedly saved my father’s life following a

serious heart attack.

Two years earlier my mother contracted pneumonia, something which is life threatening for elderly people. She too was saved from the brink of death.

Her survival is only due to the hard work and expertise of the medical staff in the ICU at Queensway-Carleton. Today, at age 84, my mother is doing remarkably well.

In my father’s case, we had him for nearly a year longer because of the care, compassion and determination of the doctors and nurses at QCH. As a result

Lifestyle – I am sure you are familiar with the term “Angel of Mercy.” Whether you believe in angels or not I’m here to tell you that angels of mercy are very real. They work in our hospitals and they don’t get nearly enough credit for their expertise or their kindness.

The story of England’s Florence Nightingale, credited as the founder of modern nursing, epitomizes what I am about to write. Nightingale and her team of nurses worked tirelessly to treat the wounded and change previously poor medical practices during the Crimean War (1853-1856).

“The Lady with the Lamp,” as Nightingale is often called, was very real. So are the modern nurses and doctors who work every minute of every day to, most importantly, keep people alive and later, help them take the first steps on the often long road to recovery. They give people their lives back. In most cases the only ones who know that are those personally affected by these modern day angels of mercy.

Admittedly nurses and physicians today have many more tools at their disposal than what was available during the Crimean War. The arsenal arrayed against disease and so many ailments continues to grow with every passing day. We live in an amazing time. When it comes to medicine things will only continue to improve.

This is a subject I have attempted to tackle in the past. But the timing wasn’t

he was able to meet his third greatgranddaughter. How wonderful is that?

I don’t think I need to say much more except to belatedly express our sincere gratitude to those who tended to both my father and mother.

Still, as I have already written, it was the experience of my friend Frank at the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus that prompted me to write this article.

Exactly one year after my father’s near death experience Frank went See COLUMN page 12

COLUMN From page 11

Community – This colourful collection of scarves was up for grabs during Vicky Racey’s vintage clothing and accessories sale at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum Jan. 30. The sale continues this Feb. 7 and 8 and supports the museum.

Cancer surgery Frank is candid about his experience. He underwent surgery for lung cancer and for removal of his cancerous thymus gland. The thymus is a specialized gland of the immune system located in the upper chest. The surgeons had to open his rib cage to undertake what turned out to be an incredibly complicated and lengthy operation to remove the thymus gland. The cancer had wrapped itself around the blood supply which gave the specialists an intricate task. What was supposed to be a four to six-hour surgery lasted nearly 10.

Later he developed a life threatening pulmonary embolism and pneumonia in the other lung which, in his weakened condition, was extremely serious.

It has been a lengthy road to recovery which I can’t begin to fully detail here. A month in hospital, followed by a painstaking (and painful) road back to mobility at home.

Not surprising to anyone who knows him, Frank’s strength of character has come to the fore and he is doing well! He faces more treatments but, at age 71, he’s philosophical about what lies ahead.

“We face up to it,” he says. “What else can we do?”

Frank is equally honest when he points to the fact that lifestyle choices play a part in many illnesses and early deaths. Although he hasn’t smoked for many years, he did smoke cigarettes for more than 30 years. He says that because almost all lung cancers are smoking related he knows what has caused his problems.

My friend can’t say enough about the care he received in hospital. He stresses that the thoracic surgeon went above and beyond the call, visiting him every day whether he needed to or not.

As for the nurses in the ICU, where he was treated for 17 days and the observation unit, where he spent four more, Frank is extremely grateful.

“They were so gentle and so kind throughout. They talked to me and told me exactly what they were doing every step of the way, even when I couldn’t reply to what they were telling me.” He calls the ICU nurses “my special angels!”

Frank lost 12 days of his life (because of trauma and drug therapy) and 20 pounds of muscle (due to atrophy from being in bed for a month). He’s determined to work himself back into shape and even though he also has a heart ailment to contend with, I know he will overcome the difficulties he faces. The man never gives up!

It needs to be said that Frank’s case is played out on a daily basis in hospitals across Canada and around the world. Doctors and nurses are special people and they deserve our respect, support and most of all our thanks.

through the same thing. In part I credit his strength of character with seeing him through this crisis. Frank gives most of the credit to the nurses and doctors at the General Hospital.

He doesn’t wear religion on his sleeve. But like so many of us he has a belief in a higher power. Beyond the incredible medical attention he received, Frank also credits his belief with getting him through a critical health crisis.

But he doesn’t hesitate when he says if it weren’t for the professionalism of his medical team he would not be here today to see his baby granddaughter Alice grow up.

Frank spent 46 years in the Canadian Army, 29 as a soldier and 17 as a civilian employee at National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) in Ottawa.

When Canadian soldiers were sent anywhere on the globe, he and his fellow “linemen” (signals personnel) preceded them. We always hear that an army “lives on its stomach.” In truth an army lives on its communications, first and foremost. If soldiers can’t talk to each other nothing good can happen.

Frank’s experiences in the army are the stuff of real life drama, although like the stories of staff in the emergency room or ICU they are seldom, if ever, articulated.

My friend is the toughest person I know.

As I have written, I credit his strength of character for getting him over the hump when serious complications developed following a lengthy surgery on Dec. 19.

Of course, the fact his daughter Sarah is a physician can’t be discounted. And his wife

Wendy, the former mayor of Carleton Place, was constantly at his side supporting him.

Over the past three years I’ve learned that advocating for hospital patients is extremely important.

Frank was fortunate to have his wife and daughter advocating for him every day during his hospital stay. We did the same thing for our parents.

The comedic gem was written by Canadian playwright Norm Foster and runs Feb. 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15. At right: Alfred Von Mirbach and Krista Duff as Sam and Hilda Fluck read through a scene on stage.

Hilda’s Yard at the Studio Theatre will shake the frostbite off your funny bone Arts – Right about now, lots of us are dreaming of escaping to a beach somewhere to break up a long, cold Canadian winter. But if sunshine and sand aren’t in the cards for you this February, you can still find some fun, laughter, and plenty of welcome warmth in Hilda’s Yard, opening now at the Studio Theatre in Perth.

Norm Foster, Canada’s favourite playwright, has done it again with this comic gem set in the 1950s. The story concerns Hilda and Sam Fluck, a middle-aged couple (with a dangerous last name) who are revelling in watching their adult children finally leave home.

Unfortunately, son Gary and daughter Janey turn out to be “boomerang” kids who quickly end up returning to the family hearth, bringing some very real adult problems home with them.

So much for the peace and quiet of an empty nest...

TM

Of course, Norm Foster is a master at tapping into familiar situations, then turning them on their heads to reveal the humour beneath. Hilda’s Yard is funny – very funny – but also filled with warmth and human truth we can all relate to.

As always, a skilled and passionate cast of local heroes – volunteers all – have taken on these great roles, on stage and behind the scenes. Sam and Hilda are played by Alfred Von Mirbach and Krista Duff. Janey and Gary are played

by Alison Kirkpatrick and Lucas Tennant. Grey Masson and Robin Burrill round out Director Roberta Peets’ stellar cast.

It takes literally thousands of personhours to mount a Studio Theatre production, and the dedication of the cast and crew always comes shining through.

If you appreciate real heart, talent and community mindedness, you owe it to yourself to pick up a ticket to Hilda’s

Yard, or any of the outstanding live plays staged at the Studio Theatre.

Hilda’s Yard premieres at the fully accessible Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street E. in Perth, on Thursday, Feb. 5, and runs Feb. 5, 6, 7, 13, 14 at 8 p.m., and Feb. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. Advance tickets are $22 (cash) at The Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E; Tickets Please, 39 Foster St. (613-485-6434; ticketsplease. ca; credit cards accepted, a convenience fee applies) and Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. (613-267-6817; shadowfax.on.ca; credit cards accepted, a convenience fee applies). Tickets are $24 at the door, and students with ID pay just $10 at the door on show nights.

On a cold February night, we could all use a little Norm Foster. So don’t miss the chance to warm up your winter with Hilda’s Yard, now playing at the Studio Theatre.

Move over St. Valentine, it’s time for St. Vincent at the Station Theatre man from whom neighbourhood children flee. He is a crusty war veteran, and he breathes intimidation. However, he knows how to weather the storms of life, and the boy and the ageing man find that they have far more in common than expected.

Rounding out the cast are Naomi Watts as Daka, a Russian pole dancer, and Oliver’s mother Maggie, (Melissa McCarthy), a new single-mom freshly transplanted to Brooklyn. Having to work very long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of Vincent (Bill Murray), a bawdy misanthrope next door. Vincent takes Oliver along on his trips to the racetrack, strip club and dive bar, and an unlikely friendship is born. The man is a mentor to the boy in his hedonistic way, and Oliver sees the good in Vincent that no one else can.

Come share this journey with us as two wildly divergent personalities become friends in the most unlikely of circumstances and experience it for yourself at the Station Theatre on Friday, Feb. 27 and Saturday, Feb. 28. Tickets for the movie, sold only at the door, at 53 Victoria Avenue, are $10 for adults and $5 for students (with ID). Time: 7:30 p.m. Note: Rating 14AContains sexual content.

starting at 2 p.m., are on Sunday, Feb. 15 and 22. Evening performances, starting at 7:30 p.m. are on Feb. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21.

“I consider this as an English version of Some Like It Hot with a little Shakespeare tossed in” says Del Grande, who plays the part of Leo, a down-on-hisluck actor who’s just come off a depressing performance of Shakespeare in the boonies of Pennsylvania’s Amish country.

When he and his sidekick, Jack (played by Schoular), hear that an elderly lady (Liz Steinberg) is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they’re confronted with a challenge: should they pretend to be someone else and go for the gold? Predictably, Jack and Leo resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and try to pick off the fortune for themselves. But not so predictably, the nephews turn out to be nieces!

And that’s when the fun really starts. Switching back and forth from male to female voices, the two actors entangle themselves in a romantic interest with the nieces, Audrey (Nicki Hayes) and Meg (Andrea Jermacans), complicated further by the intervention of two other male characters – played by Brant Daniluk and Dave Snider, who are also chasing the nieces’ affections. There’s only one person not taken in by the imposters – that’s Meg’s fiancé Duncan (played by Richard Croteau), but he cannot convince anyone else of the possible scam. Disastrous decisions keep the action moving forward to a very funny conclusion.

Arts – Most are familiar with the patron St. Valentine. MidFebruary every year, there’s a special day allocated to his honour: Valentine’s Day, filled with heart-shaped, chocolate treats and sentimental, sweetheart whisperings.

Well, it’s time to push aside St. Valentine and make room for the other lesser-known saint this February. Let us introduce to you St. Vincent as he wings his way to the Station Theatre in the guise of Bill Murray starring as Vincent MacKenna the title character in our next movie offering, St. Vincent.

Vincent is an old Vietnam vet whose stubbornly hedonistic ways have left him without money or a future. Things change when his new next-door neighbour’s son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher), needs a babysitter and Vince is willing enough for a fee. From that self-serving act, an unexpected friendship forms as Vincent and Oliver find so much of each other’s needs through each other. As Vincent mentors Oliver in street survival and other worldly ways, Oliver begins to see more in the old man than just his foibles. When life takes a turn for the worse for Vincent, both them find the best in each other than no one around them suspects.

Oliver himself who is undergoing a painful part of his life is in desperate search of something to take his mind off of his troubles. His concerns are very real; his parents have just divorced, and he is not sure how to cope with the massive changes coming about in his life. Just when he fears he will never find a way to move forward, he finds an unlikely ally. St. Vincent is his neighbour, and he’s the sort of

In loving honour of my partner in crime on her 60th birthday

home for adults with developmental disabilities in our home in Smiths Falls. We moved back to Perth in 1985 and welcomed our twin boys Adam and Lucas into the world in 1986. Through all of this I was on the provincial board for Ontario Special Olympics which meant attending provincial bowling, floor hockey tournaments, swimming and track meets all over so her support in keeping the home fires burning was inexpressible.

When I switched to help found the-then provincial board for Big Brothers, her support enabled my involvement. She’s always been there for us in her own quiet way.

Though my name and face has become synonymous with

Stewart Park Festival over the past 25 years, she’s always been behind the scenes, hosting musicians, organizing backstage food preparation and presentation, as well as being one of the nuts and bolts behind many a fundraiser... and we kept dancing…

Thanks to her bundle of energy and co-ordination, our Music On McLean House Concerts came to be in 2004 which has allowed us to present incredible musicians from all over the world to our friends and fellow music lovers in or near our home for the past eleven years. She caught my “live music loving” bug and made it happen for many. Few have any idea how much work she’s put into accommodating the needs of so many. Her co-ordination with Studio Theatre brought many a magical evening of music for many as well as developing an author/musician series that was well received.

I share all of this because on Friday, Feb. 6, my far better half, my best friend and lover,

the mother and nurturer of my children, the one and only Susan Scully Tennant will be turning 60 years young and I don’t want her behind the scenes for this one.

A couple of years ago she and my kids pulled off the biggest surprise 60th birthday and retirement party for me that still makes

me giggle thinking about it. I will not be able to top that and, that’s not her style anyway…

Susan’s love and care of others, our family, friends, community and especially me over the years has always seen her making a difference, in her own quiet way and so I thought I’d dedicate

this article to her for all she’s done for so many. Sometimes we just get lucky and I consider myself one of the luckiest lads around. Bless you, darling. You do such good things. May our dance continue forever…

Support live music everywhere.

PAC now for a more comfortable retirement Every year around this time, you scramble to find ‘extra’ money to make your contribution to investments held in your Registered Retirement Savings Program (RRSP). And, while maxing your contribution each year is the right path to maxing your savings held in your RRSP for retirement, finding that ‘extra’ money by the RRSP contribution deadline can be stressful. But stress not next year – there is a much better way: a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) program.

PAC-ing for a more comfortable retirement is simple: just set up a regular payment plan – usually an automatic withdrawal from your bank account -- in an amount you can afford. Your investment starts growing right away, meaning it will likely enjoy more growth than if you wait until the end of the year. Plus, you may benefit from the magic of compounding returns which can produce a larger nest egg than contributing a lump-sum at the RRSP deadline.

A regular PAC becomes part of your budget as a monthly cash outflow that you probably won’t miss and when markets decline, automatic contributions allow you to purchase more mutual fund shares or units, resulting in a lower average cost over the long term.

Here’s an example of the power of PACing: • Set up a regular investment plan – say, $250 into your RRSP-eligible investments on the first of every month.

• At a compound annual return of 6.5%, you’ll have $278,000 of pre-tax assets

Lifestyle – Forty-one years ago I was visiting a friend who was working that summer at the Delawana Inn Resort in Honey Harbour, Ontario on Georgian Bay and I met this gorgeous ball of energy who was visiting a friend of hers. The party carried on, we met in Toronto that September to dance to live music and we haven’t stopped dancing since.

I moved to be closer to her in Burlington and, once married in 1977, we set up our home in North Bay where our darling daughter Jodi was born. I became quite involved with Ontario Special Olympics locally, then provincially and she was right there too, coaching and helping organize tournaments, enabling me to attend multiple meetings around the province.

When I landed the job of my dreams in Lanark County we moved to Perth in 1982. Though recently having graduated from accounting, she took up the task of successfully running a group

Manage Your Money after 30 years.* • If you wait until the end of each year and invest a lump sum of $3,000 into your RRSP eligible investments (presuming you can up with that large chunk of cash on short notice) you’ll have only $259,100 of pre-tax assets after 30 years.

• By PAC-ing each month, you could potentially add $18,900 to your retirement fund – and it doesn’t cost you an extra penny!

• In addition to the extra long-term taxdeferred appreciation, your contributions also deliver a nice tax benefit for the current tax year.

PAC-ing removes RRSP deadline stress and enhances your retirement income.

Taking a closer look at the importance of understanding nutrition labelling Emily Spencer

Lifestyle – Nutrition labelling is found on almost all pre-packaged foods and consists of three main sections: the Nutrition Facts table, the ingredient list and nutrition claims.

Each section contains different information to help you make food choices and it is important to take all three into consideration in order to understand the overall nutritional picture of the food. Read on to learn more about the Nutrition Facts table.

Nutrition labelling part 1: The Nutrition Facts table The Nutrition Facts table tells us the amounts of 13 nutrients and the number of calories found in one serving of the product. All of the information that is listed on the Nutrition Facts table is based on the serving size which you’ll find on the first line of the table. The serving size can vary between similar products, like cereals, and may also be different from the amount of the food product that you will be eating. Make sure to always look at the serving size when comparing food products and when making personal food choices.

You may have noticed that there are percentages listed beside most of the nutrients on the Nutrition Facts table. These percentages are referred

to as the % daily value. The % daily value puts nutrients on a scale from 0 to 100 per cent to show you if there is a little or a lot of a nutrient in one serving of food based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

This tool is most useful if you want to quickly see if a serving of the product has a lot or a little of any nutrient. If the daily value is 5 per cent or less, that would be a little, if it is 15 per cent or more, that would be a lot. Nutrients that you may want more of (15 per cent or higher) include calcium, fibre, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Nutrients that you may want less of (5 per cent or less) include saturated fat and sodium.

Trans-fat, sugar and protein do not have a % daily value listed because their recommended intake amount has not been established.

For overall health reasons it is best to avoid trans-fats and to choose products lower in sugar. Protein intake is not seen as a Canadian public health concern so it doesn’t require a % daily value.

By understanding the Nutrition Facts table, you will be better able to make healthy food choices for your individual needs and are on your way to being a nutrition label reading expert.

Nutrition Tips

The ingredients in a food product are listed in descending order of weight. So, the ingredient that is used the most is listed first and the ingredient that is used least is listed last. For example, if the first or second ingredient listed is sugar, you know that by weight, the product is mostly composed of sugar.

Look for these ingredients that mean added sugar: dextrose, sucrose, maltodextrin, agave nectar, high fructose corn syrup, honey, brown sugar.

A good tip to finding added sugar in the ingredient list is to look for words that end in “ose”.

Watch for these ingredients that mean trans-fat: hydrogenated oil, partially hydrogenated oil and shortening. There is a link between trans-fats and heart disease, so try to choose brands that do not contain these ingredients.

The ingredient list is also valuable for people who have food allergies.

The ten most common foods and food additives that can cause allergic reactions are; eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, seafood (fish, crustaceans and shellfish), sesame, soy, sulphiNutrition labelling part 2: A closer tes, tree nuts, and wheat.

Overlooking the Mississippi River!

105 McNeely Ave. Carleton Place, ON www.vivalife.ca

Captain Roy Brown finally receiving the recognition he deserves ing all material evidence in the process.

Roy Brown was born at Carleton Place, Ontario on Dec. 23, 1893. His accomplishment has all but been lost and forgotten in the minds of his fellow citizens.

Many think that it was another Canadian WWI ace Billy Bishop who shot down the “Red Baron.” But indeed it was Brown. A real Canadian and international hero who has somehow slipped through the pages of history and nearly lost entirely.

Now there are those who are trying to bring the “Roy Brown Story” back to life.

Some of those folks reside right there in his hometown.

The town of Carleton Place is located about 30 kilometers south west of Canada’s Capital City of Ottawa. Today the town is a rapidly growing community of about 10,000 souls. On the day when Arthur Roy Brown was born there, Carleton Place boasted a population of 4,200 and was a bustling mill town powered by the waters of the Mississippi River which passes through the centre of the community.

Brown’s father (Horace) was one of those mill owner/ operators and so it could be said that young Roy was “well off.”

The younger Brown proved to be a great athlete

(and indeed in Canada in general) for much of these years. There are perhaps several reasons for this, but the main one is likely due to the fact that as Canadians we don’t make as big a deal of such things as opposed to our American neighbours. All of that changed in 2012.

LyLe diLLabough A large 50 ft. by 50 ft. mural was painted on the side of a downtown amongst other things and was even of- building during the summer and on fered the opportunity to play with the Nov. 13, 2012 a dedication service took Ottawa Senators hockey team of that era. His father didn’t think much of that idea and agreed to send his son to the Wright Brothers flying school in Ohio so he could obtain his pilot’s licence.

Interestingly, Brown was one of several Carleton Place lads who became pilots and of them four others earned the honour of “flying aces” during WWI. It’s an astonishing fact when one considers that this was the early days of flight and to have that many come from one small community is amazing thing in itself.

Former Carleton Place mayor (the late) W. Brian Costello explored and documented these (and other interesting facts and coincidences pertaining to these young men) in his book entitled, A Nursery Of The Air Force. Costello deserves much credit in keeping the Submitted photo Brown story from disappearing entirely Formal picture of Roy Brown upon from the pages of Canadian history.

Aside from Costello’s efforts, the entering Royal Naval Service (flystory of Roy Brown has been, as men- ing was controlled by the Royal tioned, all but ignored in Carleton Place navy at that time).

Tales from the Troubadour

place to honour Brown and his achievements. Led by lifetime Carleton Place resident Rob Probert (President of the “Roy Brown Society”) and current Deputy Mayor, Jerry Flynn, a “Society” was established and thus the mural was commissioned.

The Roy Brown Museum was opened. A national publicity campaign was launched bringing much attention to these activities and did much to successfully revive the “Brown-Baron” story in this country.

On June 6 of this year, Captain Brown will be inducted into the Canadian Aviation Museum in a ceremony to be

held at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. An 11year-old Grade 6 Stouffville, Ontario (where Brown was laid to rest) student by the name of Nadine Carter is currently waging a campagn to raise the awareness of Brown nation-wide after becoming aware of him while doing research on that town’s Coat of Arms.

However the most important part of all of this may not lie in the “official record,” or in the honour, the glory, or in the legend. Perhaps it can be found within the man himself. And just who was Roy See BROWN page 27

A.J. & The Buttercups R0013124271_0205

“Suddenly I felt miserable, desperately unhappy, as if I had committed an injustice.

I gnashed my teeth, I cursed the war..” (words written

by Captain Roy Brown after shooting down the infamous “Red Baron”) It’s a recipe for a legend, a story for glory and an act for the ages. A battle in the air, a vision for the mind and one that will live on forever. It’s the story of how one young man from a small Ottawa Valley town went on to engage in one of the most legendary battles in aviation history.

And of how it’s taken almost a century for his hometown to finally honour this achievement.

Captain Arthur Roy Brown shot down Manfred von Richthofen (the “Red Baron”) in the skies above the Valley of the Somme on the morning of April 21, 1918. Although this fact has been disputed in the years since (mostly by Australian gunners who were firing from below) medical reports signed by four medical personnel (two of whom were Australians) state that Richthofen died due to a single shot through the back. He (the “Baron”) was able to land his trademark red tri-plane before succumbing to his injury.

Almost immediately souvenir seekers began dismantling Richthofen’s plane once his identity was realized destroy-

A rare ecosystem: campaign for Burnt Lands Alvar preservation now underway Community – A campaign has just been launched by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) to promote awareness and raise funds to save the Burnt Lands Alvar from ‘development creep’. A property owner recently obtained approval from Lanark County to build a “cluster lot” housing development within this alvar region.

The Burnt Lands Alvar, a rare ecosystem of exceptional quality, is designated an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Province of Ontario because of its uniqueness and ecological significance. Local residents will be familiar with the open tract of land on the northwest side of March Road, between the Burnt Lands Road and Golden Line Road, which is part of the Burnt Lands Provincial Park. The Burnt Lands Alvar, however, extends well beyond the park boundaries in all directions, and into Lanark County both to the north of Almonte and to the southwest of Golden Line Road.

The campaign, officially launched at the monthly meeting of MVFN Jan. 15 in Almonte, was attended by more than 120 people. MVFN president Cliff Bennett began the meeting by saying, “In our role of protecting nature, we are challenging this (development) at the Ontario Municipal Board.”

Ken Allison, past president of MVFN, gave an engaging presentation to explain what an alvar is and why it is so unique. The many rare species of plants and animals supported by this ecosystem are under significant threat for reasons mostly related to humans: gravel quarrying, illegal dumping, ATV usage, and urban/ suburban sprawl.

Theresa Peluso, chair of the MVFN environmental issues committee, concluded the presentation noting, “We learned that what looks like a piece of scrub land is actually a beautiful natural gem with an abundance of unusual plants and animals…a piece of land we should treasure.”

Theresa outlined the MVFN plan for an OMB challenge in order to protect this land, explaining that significant funds will need to be raised to hire a planner and lawyer for the hearing, which is expected to take place in four months’ time.

Meeting attendees generously contributed to a collection jar at the entrance, providing a positive start to an effort that will involve several fundraising events, appeals, and social networking.

To donate to the Save Burnt Lands Alvar campaign, go to the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists website (http://mvfn.ca/) and look for the ‘Donate Now’ button. Further information about the alvar (including the slide presentation by Ken Allison), and updates and contact information can be found on the MVFN website and Facebook page.

Paul Catling.

Ken explained that the Burnt Lands got their name from the many fires that have occurred there over the years. Recovery from these fires is lengthy due to the thinness of the soil over top of the limestone rock bed. “The Burnt lands have

always been, and probably always will be, repeatedly disturbed, and it’s part of what makes it special,” said Ken. Manmade destruction, however, is a huge concern given the current rate of planet-wide extinctions and the global warming trend.

BROWN From page 24

Brown?

He can be found within his letters written at the time. The ones he wrote to his parents and a few select others. Letters where his true nature and character is revealed.

Facts about his ongoing health issues for he had many. Gestural problems, infections and not to mention the fact that he crashed and was left for dead at one point. That is until one of his flying buddies noticed that he was still bleeding while stretched out in a morgue and pointed this out to a doctor. Brown was revived and then went on to down the “Baron.”

Here is some of what he wrote home... “..Just a note to let you know that I’m getting on alright. I’m off the milk

Roy Brown poses in front of his own plane. The flying ace is known for shooting down the infamous “Red Baron” hails from Carleton Place and a museum has been created in his honour.

Submitted photo

and biscuit now. I’ll soon be getting out of here. It’s a terrible thing when you think about it that they should examine a body to see who should have the credit of shooting him.

What I saw that day shook me up quite a bit as it was the first time I have seen a man whom I know I had killed. If you don’t shoot them they will shoot you so it has to be done. Shall write again soon. Love to all. Roy.” (May 9) “..I received your letter of March 25 and I was very sorry to hear that mother is sick and I hope by this time she is quite better again. If she would only not work so hard but there is no use saying anything. I am very glad to hear that Bess is not coming over. Try to persuade her not to come over at all. I hope she does not. Two of us over here is quite enough.” (April 27) “..At last I’m out of the hospital again and very glad of it.” (May 16) “..Well I’m back in the hospital again..” (May 17) “..This is one of my fed up days. I feel as blue as blue today. Last night for the first time in my life (except when I was unconscious) I lost control of

myself. Every little noise of any kind made me jump and I was as frightened as a baby.” (Aug. 1) “..The sight of Richthofen as I walked closer gave me a start. He appeared so small to me. He looked so friendly, blond, silk-soft hair, like that of a child, fell from the broad, high forehead. His face, particularly peaceful, had an expression of gentleness and goodness, of refinement. And in my heart I cursed the force that is devoted to death.”

Captain Brown never lost a man that was in his command. In fact, he shot down the “Baron” while one of his newer pilots was being pursued by the German ace. Brown did

not know that it was Richthofen at the time and was only trying to save one of his men from certain death.

No doubt that within his own heart Captain Roy Brown considered the death of Richthofen as INDEED a loss of one of his own.

He must have been quite a guy.

In partnership with

Give transports wide berth in winter – be cautious of built up ice and snow Lifestyle – Earlier this month I read a quote in an Ottawa daily regarding ice and snow buildup on vehicles and the risks this represents to travelers on the road. For truck drivers, keeping their rigs ice-free is very difficult, said Ontario Trucking Association president David Bradley.

There are no regulations requiring truck drivers to keep ice off their vehicles. Ice and snow can build up on a transport truck while it’s on the road, while it’s at a shipper’s or receiver’s premises or at a truck stop. Most businesses don’t have the infrastructure in place to remove ice before a truck gets back on the road. It’s not practical to expect businesses install it, Bradley noted in the piece.

I tried without success to get a response from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, but I suspect most law enforcement officials would take exception to Bradley’s position. Many area police services have publicized their intent to crack down on motorists that fail to clear ice and snow from their vehicles and commercial truck drivers are not exempt.

It’s difficult for passenger vehicle drivers to see any ice buildup on the roof of most commercial trucks and their trailers, but if you do come across one, give it a wide berth.

No matter what the temperatures or weather, the risk of getting hit by a large sheet of ice is real as is the damage it

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

can cause to your vehicle.

One of the more popular displays at the recent Montreal International Auto Show was Mazda’s, thanks in a large part due to a small car. The Mazda2 has now entered its second generation and like the first version of this subcompact hatchback, it’s destined to be a hot seller.

“When we launched the first generation Mazda2 right here in Montreal, we did so because Quebec has been known to embrace the small car philosophy with greater verve than the rest of Canada. Well, the sales proved us right, which is why we’re back here again, this time to introduce the remarkable new second generation Mazda2,” said Kory Koreeda, president, Mazda Canada. “This car proves that small car doesn’t mean small value or small fun and in fact, with all the value that SKYACTIV Technology and KODO design brings to this segment, we expect big things from this small but mighty new Mazda2.”

It’s slated to hit dealership show-

rooms later this year and while fuel economy specs aren’t out yet, Mazda promises a 20 per cent improvement over it’s very fuel efficient predecessor thanks to its 1.5 L engine.

If you’re anxiously awaiting a fully autonomous driving vehicle to take you from place to place, you may have to wait a bit longer. One of the leading proponents of this driverless technology, Google, has discovered a snag in their experimental fleet of robotic cars; they, like us, have a hard time navigating in snowy weather and fog. But unlike most human drivers, when a Google autonomously driving vehicle encounters such weather, it simply pulls over and shuts down and waits for things to clear. Maybe machines are smarter.

But some driver assistance features are out now and have been for some time. Listed under the collision mitigation umbrella by carmakers, these options include such things as adaptive cruise control which will adjust your vehicle’s speed to keep a preset distance between your car and the one ahead.

There are also lane departure avoidance systems which use camera sensors to detect when your vehicle crosses over lane separation lines on the road and gently apply the brakes on one side or the other to nudge you back into your lane.

And there are active braking systems, which are capable of bringing the car to a screeching but controlled stop if it senses a motionless vehicle or

obstacle in its path.

One of the earliest driver assistance systems, the rearview camera, is slated to be standard equipment by US law starting with vehicles sold in the spring of 2018. All of these electronics have been proven to help avoid and reduce the severity of collisions along with injuries and fatalities, but at what cost? They are basically relieving drivers of their duty to be focused at all times on the task at hand, namely the safe and prudent operation of a motor vehicle. While we all know that one second’s inattention can lead to a lifetime of pain and suffering, what are the consequences of abandoning greater and greater amounts of our responsibilities to computerized controls?

Remember, no matter how sophisticated the vehicle you drive, it’s you that gets the ticket or jail time or debilitating guilt, not the car.

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds?

By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates

Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the

plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualified beneficiary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily.

Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO

is designated as a direct beneficiary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the beneficiary on the plan documentation

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

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

with the financial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall financial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own financial planner or one of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee members.

Cathy Empey named one of Canada’s outstanding principals Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Children, and the joy they bring her, are what makes Cathy Empey a great leader and educator.

Empey, the principal at Holy Cross Catholic School in Kemptville since 2009, was named one of Canada’s Outstanding Principals by the Learning Partnership last Tuesday, Jan. 27.

A total of 40 principals were selected, from a pool of 13,000 nationwide, for the honour this year.

“I love the joy that the children bring me every day,” said Empey.

“I love to teach them and help them become the best they can be in all areas.”

She began her career in education in 1982 and has since filled many roles, including classroom teacher, resource teacher, vice principal and now principal. She has always worked on leadership committees at the school board level.

“The principal has to be the driving force behind seeing that continued improvement in all the students under their care,” said Empey.

She said it was a surprise and real honour to be selected. She explained none of what she does would be possible without the dedicated staff, wonderful parent community and students who come prepared to learn.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Cathy Empey, the principal of Holy Cross Catholic School, was named one of Canada’s Outstanding Principals by the Learning Partnership. She is pictured here with some of her students.

“I’m a big believer in shared leadership and delegate a lot of initiatives to the staff,” said Empey. “Our goal is to provide a caring and safe school where all the kids have a strong sense of belonging.”

She said one the initiatives undertaken by staff at Holy Cross is the outdoor classroom, which provides a natural learning

landscape for the students.

The outdoor classroom was constructed with help from the parent council and P.B.M. Environmental Ltd., who assisted in directing the vision of the space.

“It’s a place where students can connect with nature,” said Empey.

She explained Holy Cross

provides strength-based learning to the students, which is determined on an individual basis.

“We find each student’s strengths and go from there,” said Empey.

She explained her role as a principal is to ensure everyone is safe, learning and having fun.

“At Holy Cross, we look after

each other.”

She explained the most important lesson she has learned over the years as an educator is the impact and importance of caring teacher on a child’s life.

“That one teacher, by one kind action or word, can remain with a child forever,” said Empey.

Currently, the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is focused on promoting mental health awareness in schools.

“We are doing something called the ‘Bounce Back Week’ in February, which will teach children about resilience,” said Empey. “We want them to understand they can overcome different challenges and fears.”

She explained what makes Holy Cross special is the warm and welcoming environment, the high quality of teaching and the wonderful support from the parent community.

“As a Catholic school, we can live out the gospel values with the children and impart upon them the basic teachings of the church,” said Empey.

She said her primary goal as an educator is to give children the skills, knowledge and attitude needed to be good, productive members of society.

“It’s been a gift to be at Holy Cross.”

She will be travelling to Toronto the week of Feb. 22 to take a five-day leadership course at the Rotman School of Management, which is a very prestigious institution. There will

also be a gala to honour Canada’s Outstanding Principals of 2015.

“I’m excited to go to Rotman and gather with educators from across Canada,” said Empey. “I hope to learn from them, share best practices and bring back new teaching skills.”

The Learning Partnership is a registered national (Canadian) charity that began in Toronto and now operates in all provinces and territories.

Since 1993, more than 5.7 million students have benefited from their programs.

Every year, more than 400,000 students and 18,000 educators across Canada participate in their programs.

Canada’s Outstanding Principals recognizes outstanding contributions of principals in publicly funded schools.

It honours principals who demonstrate innovative, entrepreneurial spirit and who have done something remarkable in public education.

“Canada’s Outstanding Principals is really important to us,” said Akela Peoples, president and CEO of the Learning Partnership.

She explained the nomination process is quite arduous, which speaks highly of the characters of those nominated.

“We look at their leadership and their leadership impact,” said Peoples.

“Instead, all our community got from the minister today was a vague commitment to form a working group,” said Clark. “That’s unacceptable to me and to the agricultural community in Eastern Ontario who have said from the start of this process that maintaining and expanding the agricultural degree and diploma programs at Kemptville College is a priority.”

Clark stressed, until the government steps up with a firm commitment to fund and support a post-secondary partner in establishing new degree and diploma programs in Kemptville, any talk from the minister about supporting agricultural education is empty rhetoric.

“Let’s face it, the government had a chance to make a difference by supporting my request for a two-year moratorium on the campus closure when it was announced last spring,” said Clark.

“Here we are, almost a year later, and the government continues to kick the can down the road, leaving us without an intake of students for the 2015/16 academic year.”

Had the government implemented the moratorium and come to the table with a commitment to support a new

post-secondary partner, Clark said there would be fewer questions today surrounding the future of Kemptville College and its 97-year history of excellence in agricultural education.

Clark did express support for OMAFRA Minister Jeff Leal’s announcement that the government was entering into negotiations to transfer the campus to the Municipality of North Grenville.

“I said in December when Mr. (Lyle) Vanclief’s report was made public that this was a good recommendation, so I’m glad the minister has finally agreed,” said Clark.

“At the same time, I’m going to continue to work with the municipality to ensure the government lives up to its commitment to provide the financial resources necessary to make the transfer a success.”

Marty Derks, the chair of the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force, is pleased with the statement issued by OMAFRA and feels it is a step forward for agricultural education in Eastern Ontario.

“Our vision and efforts are starting to come to fruition,” said Derks. “We eagerly anticipate future announcements from OMAFRA concerning funding.”

Kemptville Shoeless Joe’s wins competition, $20,000 for sports community jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – It’s all about the game!

Kemptville Shoeless Joe’s has won the ‘If Your Team Wins, Your Community Wins!’ competition and received $20,000 for the local sports community.

The official announcement was made last Thursday, Jan. 29, during a boisterous celebration at the Kemptville Shoeless Joe’s.

“We are so happy to be able to contribute to our local sports community,” said Jeff Underhill, owner of the local restaurant.

The event was emceed by Liam Maguire, expert on all things NHLrelated, who played sports trivia with patrons and handed out prizes provided

by Underhill.

The competition stems from the ‘Home Team Advantage’ program, which runs all year long.

“We invite teams to be part of the team atmosphere here at Shoeless Joe’s,” said Underhill.

“Every time the team comes in to eat, whether all together or individually with their families, we have a tab system that puts 15 per cent of the food sales towards an end of the year party for them.”

The Kemptville Shoeless Joe’s has more than 50 teams who take part in the program.

The competition runs for three months, from October to December annually, and whichever Shoeless Joe’s gets the most points, wins $20,000 for their local sports community.

“The whole concept behind the com-

petition is to encourage teams to dine at their local Shoeless Joe’s and raise points to give back to the community,” said Underhill.

The Kemptville Shoeless Joe’s placed first in the competition this year, out of all 33 locations across Canada, with 43,309 points.

“This was all made possible because of the loyalty and dedication of participating teams,” said Underhill.

The $20,000 is being dispersed in the community, with $5,000 going to a skate and helmet rental program at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, $3,000 going to the Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club (formerly KDLL), $3,000 going to Kemptville minor hockey, $3,000 going to Kemptville minor league football, $3,000 going to Kemptville minor league soccer and $3,000 going to Kemptville ladies and men’s adult sports teams.

“Shoeless Joe’s is a proud supporter of the community,” said Underhill.

“This is our way of giving back to the Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND local sports community.”

Representatives from all the local sports leagues that will be receiving a portion of the $20,000, along with Underhill said the $20,000 is all Wally the Wildcat, North Grenville Mayor David Gordon and Shoeless Joe’s owner Jeff Underhill, gather for thanks to the teams who chose the Kemptville Shoeless Joe’s as their desti- the cheque presentation on Jan. 29. nation. “We are the ultimate sports destination and we do what we can to give APHRODITI ESCAPE back to the community,” said Underhill.

Kemptville College Renewal Task Force reflects on the last 10 months Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – On March 12, 2014, the University of Guelph held a press conference at the Kemptville campus, citing its impending closure.

Since then, the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force, which was established on March 21 has been hard at work trying to keep the Kemptville College from being boarded up and forgotten.

Marty Derks, chair of the KCRTF, explained that every member of the task force contributed a significant amount of their own personal time to the mission set forth by the task force.

“We all did this with the purest intent,” said Derks. “We are all very passionate about saving the college. We were not going to let it close down.

The college is a tradition that shouldn’t go away.”

He said the Kemptville College is an integral aspect of the community.

“The Kemptville College has given more to the agricultural industry over the past 97 years than any of us ever could,” said Derks.

Derks explained the municipality is the only viable and logical option.

“The task force was able to focus in on the best possible solution,” said Derks.

The seven other task force members include Robert Jelly, Anne Weir, Heather Lawless, Donald Good, Charles Bennett, Mac Johnston and Howard Mains.

“We were not going to sit idle and watch plywood go up over the windows,” said Brian Carré, North Grenville CAO and the original chair of the KCRTF. “One of the first things I recall telling Brad Duguid (Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities) at the time was he would need to identify one person, as a go-to for communication regarding the Kemptville College.” According to Carré, there was an announcement made by the province just before the election being called on June 12, that a facilitator would be appointed. The facilitator, Lyle Vanclief, was not appointed until after the election, on July 11.

Shortly thereafter, the province announced Vanclief’s terms of reference for the report he was appointed to compile.

“It became very clear to me the municipality would have a role to play,” said Carré. “As a task force member, I made some initial contacts with area stakeholders. It quickly became apparent to me that no one would consider taking over as the sole operator.”

He explained this is when he knew the municipality would have to step-in, prompting his resignation from the task force on July 9.

“We looked at the model from the Ferguson Forest Centre,” said Carré. “As an interim measure, the municipality would act as operator, until such time as another viable operator can be found.”

Before acquisition by the municipality, the FFC was owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

“When the Harris government (Mike Harris, Premier of Ontario from 1995 to 2002) took over, there was significant divesting of operations at the provincial level,” said Carré. “They chose to close the FFC, which is when the municipality stepped in. Ironically, also under the Harris government, the University of Guelph was instructed to take over operations of the Kemptville College.”

He explained the council of the time approached the province with the idea of taking over the FFC and received the lands.

The municipality then created a not-for-profit organization, run by a board of directors, to handle operations.

“Those lands are strategic for North Grenville,” said Carré. “Based on that model, we put in an expression of interest to Lyle Vanclief.”

Carré explained the municipality was not going to sit still and watch a 97-year-old institution die.

“Other municipalities would give their right leg to have a post-secondary institution and we have one,” said Carré. “We saw nothing positive moving forward.”

Currently, the province owns the lands and buildings of Kemptville College. The hope is that the province will divest the lands and buildings to the municipality for a token amount.

“Our plan is to create a not-for-profit organization, which is run by a board of directors, to handle the operations of the Kemptville College,” said Carré. “The municipality would own the lands and buildings, but the organization would be responsible for day-to-day operations.”

Carré said the municipality’s goal is to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Kemptville College in 2017.

He explained the vision is to appoint a board of directors, along with staff members, to solicit existing institutions to deliver programming at the Kemptville College.

“We want to keep the agricultural training com-

A timeline of the past 10 months March 19 The members of the soon to be named KCRTF were introduced.

March 26 The positions of each task force member were established through internal elections.

April 2 The KCRTF members began sorting out the details of the Kemptville College, including the role of the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario, the contract between the University of Guelph and the province and the role of the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.

April 22 The MTCU announcement was made for $2 million, to keep trades programming operational at the college in 2014. KCRTF also started initial outreach for stakeholders, meeting with 20 groups to give tours and presentations over a period of roughly a month.

During that whole time, members were lobby-

ponent at Kemptville College,” said Carré.

He explained the municipality also hopes to serve as an incubator role, using some of the facilities at the college, for small and medium sized local businesses, by providing needed space until they get up on their feet.

“Our goal is to help local entrepreneurs,” said Carré.

He explained the board of directors and NFP organization would be linked to the municipality strictly through the province.

“The three pillars of our vision include community health and wellness, agricultural training and economic advancement,” said Carré.

Local man surpasses 500,000 kilometers on his Ford Escape Jennifer Westendorp

“There’s no knocks or noises,” said Dicks. “I could conceivably see it going another 100,000 kilometres.”

He explained his Escape has a bit of character, a cracked windshield and worn out door handles, but everything still works.

“I’m a big believer in changing your oil and fluids regularly,” said Dicks.

Paul Leonard, the Parts Manager at Riverside Ford, said that Dicks is a model customer.

“He’s very particular about his vehicles,” said Leonard.

“He keeps them very clean and well maintained.”

Leonard said he is honestly not sur-

jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Regular maintenance and oil changes are the key to vehicle longevity, according to Kemptville resident Gary Dicks.

He owns a 2003 Ford Escape that recently rolled over the half a million mark on the odometer.

“It just keeps going,” said Dicks.

“I have to knock on wood when I say things like that.”

He purchased his Escape second hand from Riverside Ford in Brockville.

“It had 43,000 kilometres on it when I bought it,” said Dicks. “It was a leased vehicle, so I knew it has regular maintenance. The first thing I did when I bought it was have them change out all the fluids.”

He explained he chose the Escape because it was the perfect sized vehicle for towing his aluminum fishing boat.

“I go fishing with my son every Wednesday evening and Sunday all day,” said Dicks. “I needed a truck that was a nice fit for my boat.”

He explained the Escape is a rugged, outdoorsy vehicle, which suited his lifestyle. His choice was obviously the right one.

He said when the Escape made it to 380,000 km, he made the realistic choice to purchase a back-up vehicle, a 2010 Escape, which now sits in the driveway most of the time.

“My wife uses it sometimes on weekends to get to work,” said Dicks.

“But we’ve always been a one vehicle family. My wife works in Kemptville, so I drop her off on the way.”

He works in Bells Corners, which is in the West end of Ottawa, from Monday to Friday.

“Just driving to work, I put about 140 kilometers in my truck every day,” said Dicks.

When you factor in fishing trips twice a week, it averages out to over 800 kilometres a week.

“I get my oil changed every six weeks, every 5,000 kilometres, like clockwork,” said Dicks. “The great thing about Riverside Ford is every fourth oil change is free.”

He explained the reason his Escape has reached such an impressive milestone is all thanks to regular maintenance.

“My father-in-law told me the best insurance is regular maintenance,” said Dicks.

He explained the mechanics at Riverside Ford are great about picking up on small issues and addressing them before they turn into big problems.

“The proof is in the pudding,” joked Dicks. “I’m not saying everyone will get 500,000 kilometres out of their vehicles, but it will certainly add to its longevity.”

Every time the temperature drops below -10 degrees Celsius, Dicks plugs in his escape, which is set on a timer, to begin three hours before he leaves for work in the morning.

“If you treat it right, it will treat you

He explained the motor still runs as He explained that neither the motor well as the first day he drove it. nor the tranny on his Escape have ever been opened up.

“There have been small things, sway bar linkages, brakes and a ball bearing once,” said Dicks, “but nothing major.”

He joked that once the mechanics at Riverside Ford has to drop his oil pan during an oil change to re-thread the drain pipe.

“It was so worn out, it wouldn’t tighten anymore,” he laughed.

He explained changing the tranny fluid out every 50,000 kilometres is another maintenance practice of his.

“A lot of people say it isn’t necessary, but it does help,” said Dicks.

He explained he was unsure of his expectations at the time of purchase, but to this day, he gets in his Escape and never doubts it will get him where he’s going.

“At 500,000, I’m kind of scratching my head,” said Dicks. “But it just keeps on going. I get in it and drive and it nev-

prised that Dicks’ Escape made it to half a million kilometers.

“I would be surprised if he hit a million,” said Leonard. “I could definitely see him hitting 600,000 kilometres or more.”

He said you would never be able to guess that Dicks’ Escape is 12 years old simply by looking at it.

“He takes good care of his stuff,” said Leonard.

Riverside Ford provided Dicks with a free service appointment, a complimentary car detailing, Ottawa Senators tickets and a gift certificate for dinner for two on Jan. 24, in celebration of his 500,000 kilometre milestone.

OPINION

O

If there’s snow, go slow

pinion – Monday morning snowstorms are the worst.

First of all, it’s Monday, which is naturally unpleasant.

Then to look outside and see torrents of snow blasting across the window pushes the unpleasantness to a whole new level.

I know, after nearly 26 years of tolerating winter weather, I should be used to it.

But I still hate it as much now as the first winter I owned a car.

Let’s face it; it’s not the snow that bothers us so much, but rather driving in it.

I happen to be one of those extremely slow winter drivers, who understands I have nowhere important enough to be to risk my own life and limbs getting there. I am, frankly, unimportant.

No one cares if I am late. I am not a first responder or a doctor.

I am, however, a mother, so getting home safely and in one piece to see my kids is all I care about.

The way I look at it, every single other vehicle on the road is carrying children (which of course is not true, but a good perspective to keep in mind while driving) so if I were to increase my speed to an uncomfortable level, merely to get somewhere five minutes sooner, and happened to go into a slide, then there’s a very real chance my vehicle could collide with another and injure a child.

For those two reasons, I drive slowly when road conditions are bad.

I constantly get passed during snowstorms. It is confusing to me, being well positioned in a heavy vehicle with winter tires, that these little tiny cars zoom by me

ifestyle - Sheila is a selfproclaimed house cat. We didn’t plan to have a house cat.

She just waltzed in one day her first winter, jumped on the couch, curled up in a sunbeam and went to sleep. She didn’t go back out until spring.

The diminutive little white cat with grey spots was born in a feed storage bin in the shed. Her mama had her kittens and fed them there every day for a couple months. When they were old enough to wean, the mama took off, back to the barn. Some of the kittens followed, and they were taught mouse hunting as their main source of food.

Sheila headed to the house. She finds mouse-hunting distasteful.

In the warm months, Sheila darts out the door to spend the day in the garden.

She also enjoys a sunny day outside in winter, but she doesn’t last too long before she starts crying outside the door, because she hasn’t grown any kind of winter coat. She has a bad attitude most of the time but for some reason I find that endearing. I pick her up and give her a kiss, mostly because she hates it.

She scowls, squawks at me and kicks ‘til

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

as though they are invincible.

I don’t know if it’s the small car complex causing these vehicles to prove their dominance over my minivan, or the people behind the wheel being stupid.

A total of eight cars (no trucks or SUVs albeit) passed me during the snowstorm this past Monday.

Where were you going that couldn’t wait an extra five minutes?

Why can’t you just accept the fact the roads are BAD and visibility is NON-EXISTENT and driving slowly will keep you ALIVE? Sometimes I would like to just be able to sit down, across the table from these snowstorm passers, and explain to them that, as a Canadian, you should know better.

Ice is lurking everywhere. Snow-drifts are a fact of life.

If you catch your tires on a bit of slush, it will pull your vehicle in all sorts of weird directions.

Just relax, take a load off, because clearly your life is one big fast lane of stress!

Listen to some tunes and take it slow.

You never know, slowing down just a little could prevent you from ending up in a ditch and a world of headache.

If there’s snow, go slow!

Winter is far from over as it showed its true colours this week with freezing temperatures, blowing snow and terrible road conditions.

Taming the wild beast The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

I put her on the ground.

A few years ago, Sammy arrived.

The tenants next door moved out and left their cat behind. Every day I saw him darting across the yard to the shed where he could share the food that I put out for the barn cats. Every night he would return to the house, waiting for his humans to return. They never did.

A man once told me that you can communicate with feral cats or cats that were once tame but have gone feral due to trauma by blinking at them. Each time I met eyes with Sammy as he crossed the yard he would freeze, not knowing whether I was friend or foe. Then I would blink. He stayed frozen. And blinked back. Every day we shared this communication, and one day Sammy decided he would brave coming up on

the back porch to eat some of the food I put there. I slid the patio door open slightly and Sheila appeared to confront the new cat. There was a short exchange and Sheila stepped back into the house, with one last remark at Sammy. He followed her into the house and straight down the stairs into the basement. The cat lair. Where the furry felines come in from the cold to find food, water and myriad hiding places. I thought of the three-foot-tall dollhouses the Farmer made for his girls when they were little.

Many times I have had feral cats in the house, being treated for one ailment or another, and when I open the cage to let them out, they dart into the far reaches of the dollhouse, where I cannot retrieve them. I hoped Sammy wouldn’t try to stuff himself in there. He was three times the size of the other cats.

Now, two years later, Sammy still startles easily, bolting off the couch and disappearing like a flash down the basement stairs every time he hears a strange noise. But he’s becoming bolder.

Last night I saw him contemplating jumping up on the couch beside the Farmer. He’s never done that before.

So we have two house cats now. The Farmer doesn’t seem to mind. Except for when they use the carpeted stairs as a scratching post. Little tufts of carpet are strewn all over the floor in the morning. I came up with an idea to deter that particular activity. I covered their favourite section of the stairs with tin foil. They bat at it with their paws and check their reflection in it but it’s still there, protecting my stairs. It’s not exactly a décor improvement but it works.

This winter, the twin tabbies from the barn have also decided to be house cats, at least part time. They dart inside when someone opens the patio door, and

scoot downstairs to eat. But instead of rushing back outside again when their bellies are full, now they stay inside for days. The brown tabby, who is adept at letting me get just within reach and then disappearing in a puff of fur, can now be found lounging on the couch by the window, watching the birds at the feeder.

The grey tabby, her brother, climbs the screen on the living room window and screams at us until we let him in.

At last count, we have four house cats now. dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com.

Letter to the Editor

Mayor’s comments on budget raise questions from resident

Dear Editor; Did our recently elected Mayor really say this?

Among suggestions passed out by council members for consideration to help them address the 7 per cent potential tax increase presented in the 2nd draft budget, as reported in the Kemptville Advance Jan. 22 edition, the second suggestion was: A wage freeze for employees and members of council.

Said Mayor Gordon: “I am against this. It could cause major problems. It's a slippery slope. If this occurs, we could see a union formed sooner or later. We can't carry the budget on the back of our employees” There are so many things I would love to say in response to this ridiculous comment. Mr. Gordon appears therefore to be saying that it's o.k to carry the budget on the backs of the taxpayers! Taxpayers amongst whom may be the elderly on fixed or meager incomes, young families, employees on basic wage or low incomes and others whose income has not kept pace with rising prices over the years?

Also, I would quite like to know what he thinks is wrong with unions. I'm not a union member, but the saying "A place for everything, everything in its place" comes to mind.

There are many other groups I could add to the list of those who for whom this budget will represent an unfair burden.

Municipal employees is not one of those groups. Taxpayers will hopefully be incensed that you put council employees ahead of the citizens who pay their wages. Expense recovery for Members of Council? Sure - freeze any such payments.

Let's see some leadership.

Mayor Gordon again, concerning the third suggestion: Delay the creation of a Deputy Fire Chief position for six months. “This also a slippery slope,” I can't agree with this” Really?" Words fail me.

I would love to know why. The suggestion is that his predecessor only did half of the job or less.

I have lived in this community for enough years to know this just isn't true. There were other comments, such as "growth is not paying for growth."

You surely don't expect residential taxpayers to foot the bill for this, do you? Taxes at Colonnade, commercial and residential development fees must clearly increase significantly.

If growth is not paying for itself, nor contributing to the well being of the community, then don't develop. Recent growth in the commercial sector of North Grenville has created some minimum and low-wage jobs. A number of jobs were simply moved from other areas within the community, which has led to a hollowing out of the old town.

Perhaps we might see some suggestions from council as to how low income employees are going to come up with the 6.18 per cent about to be added to their tax bill.

It is within the realms of possibility that employees may lose jobs, as North Grenville residents cut back on local spending.

The potential effect of this budget? Less local spending, less HST and other tax income to the province, more people on the poverty line, less funds to support them. Less employment opportunity, less payroll taxes to both federal and provincial governments. Less funding available for the less well off in our society. Fall off in trade, increase in bankruptcies.

I can't quite come to terms with the philosophy that seems to be, "If there is less funding from the province etc, then let's go grab it from someone else."

If our Mayor and council's personal incomes were cut, then would they not restructure their affairs so as to live within their means, or would they make up the shortfall by stealing from their neighbours?

I trust our recently elected/re-elected council and mayor will undertake some serious study as to how real savings in these situations may be achieved. There is certainly no shortage of alternatives that have been successfully applied by others in the past.

That a budget such as this will "put the community on a sound footing for the future" is clearly egregious. This budget puts us on a very slippery slope indeed.

GARDENER’S CORNER

The wonder of wood

I spent most of the afternoon sanding the top of a very old desk. Angie’s personal stripper, our neighbour Larry, had stripped all the paint off this solid maple desk but was reluctant to attack the stains on the top. He had no idea how deep the marks went into the wood. There were several rings and a huge rectangle that looked like someone at some time placed a very hot pan on the desk.

I’ve spent several hours starting with course sandpaper and gradually working up to finer grits. The grain of the maple began to reveal itself. I have always enjoyed working with wood and I began to wonder. Why? Trees have been such a big part of our lives.

We plant them for occasions or just the joy of seeing them grow and provide shade and beauty. As I looked at the top of this desk, I began thinking about how many years it took for that maple to grow into something with such an exquisite grain pattern and how someone took the time to fashion it into a piece of fine furniture.

We use wood to heat our homes, to frame our houses and to adorn our living spaces.

There are lots of alternatives. Plastic, concrete, metal and plaster but we still keep coming back to wood. And it’s not because it’s inexpensive. Some of the hardwoods are quite pricey. I think that we have bond with wood because it grows. It has a beauty that reflects years of growth. And it is compliant.

R0013113001_0205

You can work with it and fashion it into almost anything you can imagine.

When you work with wood, you begin to appreciate what time and nature has given us.

There are times I’m splitting firewood and I toss a piece to the side. It’s a piece I just can’t burn. It has another purpose. It was meant to be something other than heat. It will wind up on the lathe or as inlay but not as ash.

Seems strange for a guy that just cut down a junk maple last week. As I block the tree for firewood, I will still be looking for chunks that need to be something else.

I can’t explain our need to have wood around us. I think it has something to do with time and it’s softness and it’s hardness.

The grain reflects our need for symmetry and repeating patterns and there is always the warmth of earth tones.

I so enjoyed working with the old maple desk this afternoon. It will have a new life.

A phoenix from the ashes. Angie will do her magic with stain and Varathane. It will have many more decades of service. Maple with memories.

As a gardener, you just need to respect all the things that grow and what they give us.

Heat, structure, beauty and a sense of time.

The wonder of wood.

Principal at Holy Cross gets top honours From page K1

She explained there are 18 different criteria, which fall under four categories, a principal must meet to receive the award. The four categories include instructional leadership, professional learning teams, leading and creating partnerships with families and communities and personal growth innovation. The nominator must also gather four letters of recommendation from stakeholders.

“Cathy Empey was nominated by a superintendent in her school board,” said Peoples.

She explained a selection committee, comprised of education, community and business leaders, makes the final decision.

“This honour is very specific to leadership qualities, impact on student achievement and innovation,” said Peoples.

She explained the Rotman course is a transforming experience for the principals.

“It provides them with the opportunity to network with principals from other provinces and territories,” said Peoples.

She explained the gala is all about shining a light on Canada’s Outstanding Principals.

“It’s a very positive evening,” she said. “The principals really feel appreciated. They are recognized nationally for their efforts and leadership.”

She said Empey deserves accolades for her leadership.

“I would like to congratulate Cathy,” said Peoples. “She is a champion of collaboration in education. Because of her efforts regarding co-learning, Holy Cross has realized real results. She is very respected by the staff.”

Owned, and raced, since new: Frank Hansen’s 1974 Plymouth Barracuda Lifestyle – Some people say the horsepower race began in 1949 when Cadillac and Oldsmobile came out with overhead-valve V8 engines. The race heated up during the mid50s, especially when Chrysler brought out a Hemi with 354 cubic inches and 355 horsepower (more than one horsepower per cubic inch). The race continued into the ‘60s and early ‘70s, which brings us to the 1974 Plymouth Barracuda owned by Frank Hansen of Hamilton, Ontario: “I bought it new in 1974 and still have it. I’ve raced it at the drag strip at Cayuga since 1974. I started out with a 318 that Kenny Andrews of

Burlington built up for me.

The best time in the quarter mile was 14 seconds with the 318. In 1979, I put a 440 in as I wanted to go faster. I rebuilt the motor three times myself, but when I inherited some money, I went to Wildgoose Performance and got them to build me a stroker 440. Now it has 660 horsepower and 690 torque. Best time so far is 10.49 at 132 mph.

“This year, I took the car in on January 6th to be painted J5 Sub Lime green from the ‘70s.

This is my daughter Clairessa’s favourite colour. I have had the car in Car Craft magazine and was in the Mount Hope car show last year. This

year’s show will be April 19th.

I have many new parts for the car such as new door handles that I bought from Year One now going on the car. It has a brand new carpet and new seat in the car.

I have a new headliner to be installed in the spring. The hockey stick strip that says 440 will be going on the car.

I race in the DSE Series run

Frank Hansen’s sizzling 1974 Barracuda with 660 horsepower!

by Andrew Stirk and his dad.

Lots of fun!”

Chrysler brought out the 440 in 1966 and that engine remained in production through 1978, when emission controls and insurance rates started

bringing cubic inches down.

The biggest V8 for 1981 was 318, the same size of engine that Frank started with when he bought his Barracuda brand new.

These cars run in Frank’s family. His brother David bought a blue ’74 Cuda with a 360 4-speed high performance motor at the same time Frank bought his car. David never raced his but his wife Bernadette raced a 1968 Z29 Camaro at the same time Frank was racing at Cayuga. David later

sold his Cuda to someone in Burlington. We are wondering if that car is still around.

Nominations open for 2015 UCDSB Trustee Innovation Award News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will honour employees whose innovation in the workplace can take us all to higher levels of achievement.

The board is currently accepting nominations for the 2015 Trustee Innovation Award, said trustee Caroll Carkner. The award was created two years ago to recognize creativity and innovation among board staff.

“We want to honour those

people who are going above and beyond and being really innovative in their teaching or in their work environment,” explained Carkner of the award. “By recognizing them, we also want to encourage others to follow in their footsteps – to pick up on some of their ideas and make them work for them.”

There are two key criteria for the award: 1) The nominee must have demonstrated creativity and in-

novation in establishing a technique, tool or other resource to directly or indirectly increase student or peer achievement.

2) In this innovation, the nominee must have worked above or beyond their job expectations.

All employees of the board and members of parent councils are eligible to submit nominations. The deadline is April 30.

The awards will be presented at a ceremony during a board of trustees meeting in September.

She was predeceased by her father Friedrich Finkenberg and her mother Johanna Finkenberg, her brother Heinz-Willi Finkenberg, her first husband Wilhelm Wennmann and her second husband Klaus Jechel, and her son Wilhelm Wennmann. She is survived by her sister Herta Scheeler, her daughter Susanne Schurman (Dave) and her son Peter Jechel (Lynn).

Elise lived a life devoted to selfless acts of kindness and generosity which were inspired by a profound sense of humanity. She was devoted to children as a teacher, a mother and a grandmother. With this insight she gently guided her family’s understanding of one another. She was the quintessential wife, mother and grandmother and was aptly described by one of her grandchildren as a “beacon of goodness”. Our dear “Oma” shared with all who met her, a deep, positive energy. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her. A private service will be held at a future date.

Peter Joseph Wilson Carty September 7, 1981-January 31, 2005 To my son It has been 10 years since cancer took you away from us, but it still feels like yesterday. A lot has happened since that day. Your friends are having children and moving on with their own lives. We still miss you every day and would have loved to see what your life would have had in store for you. No one can predict what life holds for them but we were blessed to have you in ours for every second that we were given, only to wish that we were allowed to have so much more.

Love you always and forever Mom, Dad and Kurt

Are you concerned about the struggles of the unemployed/underemployed and the disabled to obtain and maintain housing and to feed themselves and their children?

Do you feel low-income people should be able to obtain basic assistance, legal information, and appropriate referrals quickly and without cost?

Do you believe people without financial means should be able to plan for their care in the event of future incapacity?

Do you believe low-income victims of crime should be helped to get compensation for injuries suffered or that disabled people should be able to fight for government benefits they believe were wrongly denied to them in their time of need?

If you believe in these fundamental rights, then you believe in legal clinics...

Two legal clinics, which have served Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Northern Frontenac, and Northern Lennox and Addington Counties for many years, have amalgamated to form “The Legal Clinic” to continue to provide legal clinic services well into the future.

Do you have the time (2-4 hours per month) and the desire to help?

Valentine’s HEARING AID SAVINGS Did you know that individuals with an untreated, moderate hearing loss are three times more likely to develop dementia over time?1

A group of die hard participants braved Monday’s blowing snow for their early morning aquafit session at the Hub with instructor Bonnie Bulmer (far left).

sale. There are already four teams registered but the goal is for 10 teams.

“The relay is all set for Saturday, March 7, starting at 12 noon and running until midnight, so hurry up and get your team registered,” says Gilligan.

Each team member is responsible for gathering as many monetary pledges as they can, according to Gilligan and there will be appropriate prizes for the most pledges by an individual and by a team along with fun prizes like best costume.

“It’s a fun day, with lots of laughs and some of the best baked goods in the valley,” says Gilligan.

Team pledge sheets and registration forms are available at the Hub desk.

“Last year the swim-a-thon and bake sale raised $11,000, so this year our goal is to raise $15,000 – and with all the amazing support we’ve seen lately we know we can do it,” says Gilligan.

At the same time regular programming at the Hub is continuing and the Hub will be taking Red Cross swim lesson registrations on Feb. 8, 9 and 10 for the eight weeks of classes starting Wednesday evening Feb. 18 and Saturday morning, Feb. 21.

Stay tuned for the next fundraiser, including an indoor triathlon, slated for March 29 and an online auction, more details will be available soon on Facebook.

News - It’s been a tough road for the Hub recently, but patrons and supporters will no doubt be happy to know that the Hub is out of the woods and on the road to a viable future, according to the board.

Yes the community pool will stay open and continue to deliver the programs everyone has come to love and support.

“In the first year of operation, we’ve made mistakes, learned from them and are ready to move forward, stronger and better,” says Laurie Hudson-Craig, Hub chair.

Partly because the Hub is a not-forprofit recreation organization and not a private business the Town of Smiths Falls has agreed to fund the Hub to the tune of $7,500. ``We now have dates and times for presentations we will be making to Rideau Lakes, Montague and Merrickville-Wolford, and we’re hoping to hear back soon from North Grenville,” says HudsonCraig. “So if you are a resident of any of those municipalities and you want to see the Hub stay open we invite you to show your support and join us at these meetings.”

The Hub will be making a presentation to Rideau Lakes on Feb. 9 at 2:30 p.m., and at Montague on Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. and Merrickville-Wolford on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m.

In the meantime The Hub is approaching other funding agencies to help keep the pool operating in the long and short term.

“To all our supporters we’d like to say thank you for coming out to show council how much this means to you and for your wonderful suggestions, advice and continued use of the pool,” says Kathy Gilligan, board secretary and pool program coordinator.

At the same time the Hub is carrying on with all its new and regular fundraising according to Hudson-Craig.

“So the online donations page that Tracey Pankow so generously set up is still open at www.fundrazr.com and thank you all for your continuing generosity,” says Hudson-Craig.

Everyone in the community is working to keep the Hub pool going, including Jill Moffat’s eight-year old son who has asked his friends and family to bring donations for the pool instead of presents to his 9th birthday Feb. 15.

“When you’re nine-years old that’s pretty awesome,” said Heddy Sorour-Roberts, hub coordinator.

The Hub is also well into organizing the second annual swim-a-thon relay and bake

Beware drawbacks of “Comfort Food” Lifestyle – As we enter the month of February, many of us are quoting only 6-8 weeks to go until spring! January was tough for most of us this year.

It turned out to be a very dreary month. It was cold, boring and generally a catch up from the Christmas spree. Most of us have suffered through this cold and flu season as well.

All the magazines feature the traditional comfort food. Stews, meats, heavy sauces and plenty of cheese steaming hot! Combine these foods with less activity and you have the January weight gain.

February can be tough weather as well, but as Harold and I sat this morning discussing our camping plans for the summer, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The days, although very cold, are longer and brighter. In order to fit into our spring and summer wardrobe, we need to start moving away from the comfort of cheese, sugar and heavily salted seasonings.

Hot vegetables are very nice. Steaming is a prime way to warm and soften foods without losing too many vitamins and nutrients.

We all need a little colour right now. Brighten up your dishes by remembering to add plenty of colourful vegetables!

Keep those protein and meat servings relatively small while enhancing your plate with either roasted or steamed vegetables. Top off a meal with plenty of fruit. Harold and I shared a can of pineapple chunks packed in water last night while we

Nutrition Matters

HEATHER WESTENDORP watched our shows. This is far superior to chips or a tub of ice cream, cheese and crackers or a bag of chips. The taste was both refreshing and good for our bodies.

Remember to flavour with herbs rather than a ton of salt and butter. Whole grains and nuts are far superior to large portions of meat.

Warm your bread and make it a nice meal. I bought some fresh Italian tomatoes last week when they were on sale and we simply followed a big brunch with a simple tomato sandwich for our evening meal.

People tend to be the least active in the evenings (since it still gets dark early), so light fare is better for the body than snacks that entail thousands of empty calories.

Your body will thank you with the ability to sleep better and waking up fresh and hungry in the morning.

Trying to keep active is difficult this time of

year. I like to begin my spring cleaning a little early so I can enjoy the good weather outside as spring arrives. Doing heavy cleaning and refreshing the house really helps keep those February blues away.

Having an environment that is clean and efficient helps you feel better and leaves more outside time when the warmth arrives.

Top that with consuming more fruits and vegetables to make meals colourful, nutritious and delicious helps us forget what weather is happening outside.

Brightening your morning with a fresh/frozen fruit smoothie helps fortify your body for the daily rush and ensure that you are getting enough vitamins and fibre. Add a little unsweetened homemade applesauce.

I like to just throw a bunch of assorted frozen fruit and a fresh banana for texture into the blender and mix it with water. Simply blend all your ingredients on hand and enjoy.

A small bowl of bran cereal or oatmeal with ½ cup of plain yogurt and a few almonds makes a nice balanced breakfast. This makes breakfast fast but very nutritious!

Do not forget about fermentation for health and make a nice cabbage salad with assorted vinegars to add to your lunch!

You can easily make this on the weekend to enjoy with weekly lunches and even warm it in the microwave to help brighten up a supper meal.

Enjoy steamed carrots, Brussels sprouts, green or yellow beans, beets, squash, broccoli, spinach

Chicken stuffed with ricotta and spinach, served with a raspberry and rosemary sauce, sweet pea and parmesan risotto, garnished with roasted almonds

or corn with sweet peas. There are so many vegetables to choose from. Mix your colours to brighten any meal! Often we simply get out of the habit of eating certain vegetables and it is nice to refresh our taste buds by filling half of our dinner plate with nice nutrients and taste textures.

Divide your plate into four. One quarter 4 oz. can be meat or protein, One quarter should be starch or whole grains and the final half is best to be filled with vegetables.

Remember to use smaller plates and stop eating when you get full.

Eat slowly to enjoy and savour all the different textures and flavours offered in a meal. Leave dessert until you get the munchies in the evening and make it something that is high in nutrients like fruit.

The last thing you want to do is fill up with nutrient poor high calorie foods right before going to bed.

Colour your February with plenty of variety!

Your body will thank you when the sun does bring some warmth and we can finally dawn our summer wardrobe.

We may have to walk to help rid our bodies of that sedentary layer, but the activity will be much easier with a few less pounds!

Sports - On Thursday, Jan. 29, the team opened their week on the road in Cornwall, at the Ed Lumley Arena, taking on the Colts.

It was a scoreless first period with both teams having few chances. Early in the second, the Colts broke the ice slipping one by 73's netminder, Jake Tugnutt. Cornwall picked off a pass at centre and came straight up the middle to make it 1-0. The Colts went up 2-0 before the period was 15 minutes old.

Tyler Young got that back less than two minutes later to bring it to 2-1. The goal was Young's fifth of the year and it was unassisted.

In the third, Matt Tugnutt made the game interesting. At 3:52, he scored to bring the 73's even. His goal was set up by Justin Hassbeek and Cam Russell. Three minutes later he scored his second of

Action in front of the Braves net the game and 14th of the season. The shorthanded effort was assisted by Alex Row. With Kemptville now leading 3-2, Cornwall pulled their goalie in the last minute of the game and were able to tie the game 3-3. With 31 seconds left in the overtime, Cornwall scored to give the Colts a 4-3 win. Jake Tugnutt stopped 41 of 45 shots and was named the game's third star.

Saturday, Jan. 31, was Hockey Day in Kemptville.

one game at the Municipal Centre. The entire day featured 50-50 draws, silent auctions, raffles and merchandise. All the proceeds went to DIFD, “Do It For Daron”. It was a very successful day for this important cause.

The 73's played the Pembroke Lumber Kings in the marquee game on Saturday night. The Kings had their A game going and the 73's were hard pressed to keep up. By the five minute point of the second, Pembroke had jumped out to a 3-0 lead.

Jason Tackett finally got Kemptville on the board with his 20th of the year.

Erik Brown and Alex Row picked up the helpers on the tally. It looked like the 73's were going to climb back into the game but the Kings came right back to make it 4-1.

Kemptville was still alive when Brandon Lesway notched a power play goal late in the frame.

Setting up the goal were Tackett and Brown.

Pembroke scored the only goal in the third period as Kemptville tried in vain to get one past the Kings goalie. Pembroke went home with a 5-2 victory. Jason Tackett was selected as third star, with a goal and an assist.

Kemptville wasn't done for this week. They were right back at it on Sunday, Feb. 1, as the Brockville Braves returned to Kemptville for their second time on the weekend.

The Braves are trailing the 73's in the standings and this game was full of

playoff implications. More interest in a good cause.

Frank Hoffman and Canadian Tire were present for a fundraiser for the JumpStart Program. All funds raised locally help local kids. You can drop off your Canadian Tire money at the store or at 73's home games.

It was a fast and rough game with both teams getting their chances. Kemptville scored the only goal of the first to take a 1-0 lead into the intermission. Jake Gaudet scored a shorthanded goal on a setup from Dean Galasso.

In the second, the 73's were the only ones able to get on the scoresheet.

Owen Guy registered his 10th of the year, assisted

by Erik Brown and Cody Hendsbee. Leading 2-0 after two, both teams raised the intensity of the game.

Jason Tackett and Brown combined to set up a goal
