North Grenville mayor asks residents to ‘dig deep’ for Fort McMurray Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
North Grenville Mayor David Gordon opened the council meeting on May 9 with a plea for residents to help support those affected by the fires in Fort McMurray. “It’s probably the largest human tragedy in Canada this century,” said Gordon. “Going back, the other was
the fire in 1917 in Halifax and this is even on a larger scale. Most people can’t even envision the extent of the tragedy. This is an entire city that had to be evacuated and is probably going to have to be rebuilt from the ground up. The council and North Grenville, we stand behind Fort McMurray.” See Ontario page K2

South Branch raises $800 for Fort Mac The grade six students at South Branch Elementary School in Kemptville hosted a fundraiser to benefit Fort McMurray evacuees on May 13. They made over 400 Rice Krispies squares, which were sold for a dollar a piece, and raised over $400, which will be matched by the South Branch parent council and again by the federal government. In total, their efforts will bring $1,600 to those affected by the Fort McMurray wildfires. The grade six students are currently learning about nongovernmental organizations, such as the Canadian Red Cross where the funds will go, and how to help the community and people around the world. From left, grade six students Claire Clapham, David De Quetteville, Avery Preston, Emma Bothwell, Sophie Healey and Kelsey Goodall enjoying their Rice Krispies treats.

Lanark County now part owner in portion of abandoned CP Rail corridor Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
It’s been six years in the making, but Lanark County is now the proud part owner of a section of the abandoned CP Rail corridor, which will open up the door for many more recreational opportunities. During Lanark County’s regular meeting of council May 11, a bylaw was passed to authorize county warden Gail Code and CAO Kurt Greaves to sign the lease and donation agreements to acquire the portion of the corridor from Sturgess Road in Montague Township to the Renfrew/Ottawa border. In addition, it was approved for the county to spend $180,000 in reserves for the purchase, survey, legal and environmental studies. The sale is being done in partnership with the County of Renfrew and the Township of Papineau-Cameron. Lanark County’s section of the corridor is 61.2 kilometres in length, spanning 37 road crossings and nine bridges. It covers 440 acres and was appraised at $15 million. According to Code, the purchase is “a historic opportunity for Lanark County and it offers exciting possibilities.” “...We have been working hard for many years to enhance the quality of life of our residents through an extensive network of trails,” she stated in a press release issued by the county. “This corridor continues that work by adding a valuable multi-use transportation venue as well as a cor-
ridor for fibre-optic networks to deliver communications.” “The acquisition is a huge milestone for the project and work will continue over the next several years to get the rail corridor into trail shape,” added Greaves. “The county will be working with the local municipalities, the Lanark County Trails Corporation, the public and other partners to establish a destination to promote active living, tourism and economic development.” Back in 2010, CP announced it was planning to sell a 296-kilometre section of the rail line between Smiths Falls and Mattawa and then in 2011, the county formed a partnership with Renfrew County and Papineau-Cameron to begin discussions with CP. The entire abandoned rail line was appraised by Antec Appraisal Group at $77.7 million. According to the purchase agreement, approximately $77.2 million will be used by the three partners for the tax receipt and $500,000 in funds will be divided amongst the three purchasers for closing phases over the next two years. “This timeframe will allow for the property transfer descriptions to be generated for segments of the corridor, starting with the most easterly section,” stated the county’s press release. While the transfers continue, the lands will be leased for $10 per year plus municipal taxes. With three partners involved, costsharing options were discussed and a formula was development in order to determine who would hold which
portions of the corridor. Based on that, Lanark County owns 19 per cent and Renfrew County, 72 per cent. Kevin Paul of CP said the company was pleased to see the three counties partnering on this initiative and that it’s “an excellent example of how a group with a common goal can make a positive decision for generations to come. We commend your vision and look forward to the transformation of this discontinued rail corridor,” he stated in the county’s release. Following the formal passing of the bylaw on May 11, Coun. Richard Kidd acknowledged the purchase was “huge.” “This is an opportunity for tourism across Lanark County to connect from Ottawa right up to Lanark County,” he said. “...It’s a historical moment.” “This connects our whole community now and forms a ring around the county from the K&P Trail and the other end to Frontenac County. It’s quite an opportunity,” added Coun. Brian Stewart. “I agree with Coun. Kidd, it’s an important time and we need to recognize it going forward.” Coun. John Fenik, who worked on the project as a past warden, said the acquisition will create a “momentous trail.” “It could take hikers right across Canada and this council will be remembered for exactly this,” he remarked. “This is a huge legacy that falls under warden Code and all of us working together for six years.”

ITM Events wins best wedding planner honour at South Eastern Ontario Wedding Awards ITM Events takes home the award for Best Wedding Planner at the South Eastern Ontario Wedding Awards held in Kingston on May 2.

New gardens announced for 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Garden Trail The 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Garden Trail launched its 2016 season with the addition of five new gardens to explore. The trail consists of 14 gardens that showcase a wide variety of flora and fauna set amongst the region’s natural beauty and intertwined in some of the region’s historic homes. “The gardens are simply beautiful, unique, well designed and
educational. They leave visitors inspired to create something of their own”, says Dave Cybulski, co-chair of the garden trail. The trail’s inaugural year was in 2015 and quickly gained national media attention from Vancouver through to Montreal. It was recognized as a new tourism experience which created much excitement amongst garden hosts.
Last year, private gardens saw in the range of 300-650 visitors per garden while attracting approximately 14 tour buses to the region. Visitors came from Ontario, Quebec, New York State, as well as Yellowknife, Australia, Germany and France. Gardens are considered to be either key motivators for travelling, or are enhancements for a destination. Visitors typically go
for a meal afterwards or do some shopping. People inquire about plants they’ve seen and where they can be purchased. People want to learn, to experience new things. It connects visitors to the people and culture of their destination. A mix of private, public and garden centre displays have been chosen to be part of the garden trail. These include:
• Diane and Keith Haskins, Portland (new) • Gardens of Gananoque, Gananoque • Wilstead Manor Gardens, Leeds and the Thousand Islands (new) • Ivy Lea Club, Lansdowne (new) • Chillane Gardens, Mallorytown • United Counties of Leeds and Grenville • Garden of Hope and Faith Walk, Lyn • Maitland Garden of Hope, Maitland

Chance to participate in shoreline naturalization through Watersheds Canada Spring’s here and Watersheds Canada, formerly Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, is looking for landowners in the Cataraqui watershed to take part in their renowned Natural Edge program. In spring 2016, Watersheds Canada, in partnership with Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, received funding from the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund to naturalize waterfront properties in the Cataraqui watershed. The program provides an Ecological Toolkit to landowners where they receive a planting of native trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and grasses along the water’s edge, as well as, a planting of a native wildflower garden, two bird boxes and two bat boxes. Chloe Lajoie, Watersheds Canada’s Natural Edge co-ordinator, explains: “Native species have adapted to regional environmental conditions and are preferred by local wildlife for shelter and food. Planting along shorelines helps to enhance local ecosystems and stabilize shorelines from erosion, and it improves water quality by filtering runoff.” The program provides a free site visit with landowners to discuss shoreline concerns, provide recommendations and assess planting conditions. A personalized planting plan is created, which includes photos of selected planting areas and ideal plant species. Plants are ordered, delivered, planted and mulched and owners are provided with information which outlines how to ensure the new vegetation thrives, as well as follow-up and support. Participating landowners are asked to contribute only 25 per cent of the total costs for their site. “All advice is optional,” Lajoie adds. “The goals and wishes of the landowner drive the plan, and we work with landowners to complete projects that are economically feasible on a case-by-case basis. Watersheds Canada coordinates the ordering, delivery and planting, along with tools, materials and labour to complete the project. Landowners can participate in the planting, but it
The above photo shows the beginning of creating a buffer zone and improving shoreline naturalization.

Submitted photo
is optional and voluntary.” This year, Watersheds Canada is seeking participants anywhere within the Cataraqui watershed, whether they are on a lake or river or have a creek running through their property. “Our goal is to raise awareness and to take steps on waterfront properties to help reduce negative effects on the environment,” said Barbara King, Watersheds Canada executive director. “If you have property in a highly developed area or know you have shoreline erosion issues, this is a great way to make improvements that will help water quality and habitat.” Any landowner within the Cataraqui watershed who is interested in a free site visit should contact Chloe Lajoie at Watersheds Canada, 613264-1244 or lajoie@watersheds.ca.

Drivers misbehaving
I
n noting that it’s Police Week, we make note of the Drive Safe! RIDE traffic safety campaign being promoted by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police and supported by the Ontario Provincial Police and other law enforcement agencies throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Not surprisingly, there is an emphasis on the problem of distracted driving. Even though an American report cited in a #DriveSafe release indicates that the youngest drivers (up to the age of 19) are the ones most likely to be distracted at the time of crashes, this is far from being just an issue about teenagers. We’ve all seen examples of the problem, and most of us who are honest about our own driving – this scribe included – know that we are guilty of doing it in one form or another. It’s not just using a mobile device; other examples of distracted driving behaviour include eating and drinking, grooming, use of a navigation system and changing the station or CD. Talking to passengers and having pets loose inside the vehicle might seem harmless enough to most of us, but they also count.
According to the OPP, deaths caused by distracted driving eclipsed drunk-driving fatalities in 2015 for the seventh consecutive year. During this campaign, OPP officers will be out in full force to ensure drivers are sober and alert. “Vehicles will be positioned at key locations to remind people that safe driving habits save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways,” noted Grenville County OPP Detachment Commander Bill Bolton. Parachute Canada notes that distracted drivers are four times more likely to be in a crash than attentive drives, and the federal government indicates economic losses caused by traffic collision-related health care and lost productivity account for at least $10 billion per year – about one per cent of this country’s GDP. So if you are handed a campaign booklet at a traffic initiative or pick one up at your local police station or elsewhere, take the time to read it. We can all do a better job behind the wheel, no matter how experienced and skilled we might be.
Marguerite’s show and tell quashed by Emerson and Cecil There was no such thing as “show and tell” at the Northcote School. There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils.

The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’. With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course.

No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman, who came all the way from the Barr Line. The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell.
And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new bicycle. It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard. My best friends Joyce and Velma and I just stood there like stone. A new bicycle! Imagine! We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment. Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking at it, that it would be curtains for

Letter to the Editor
Is your child a late talker? DEAR EDITOR:
The Language Express Preschool Speech and Language Program helps children with many types of speech, language, social communication and literacy difficulties. This May, we are highlighting late talkers. Children who are developing normally in all areas except spoken language are often called “late talkers.” In the past, many parents and physicians took a wait-and-see approach to late talkers. We know now that this is not a good idea because many late talkers will not catch up without help. Even the children who

Memo to motorists: ‘Stay on your side of the road!’ This is something that’s been on my mind lately and following an incident I was involved in last week it is time to get this off my chest. Careless driving has been a problem as long as there have been motor vehicles and roadways. No doubt the same thing happened, albeit on a lesser level, during the horse drawn age. But as vehicles get larger, faster and more numerous problems related to bad driving have become more dramatic and far more dangerous. In the past I have written about speeding, tail-gating, illegal lane changes, failing to signal, red-light running and other issues. Any number of highway sins! Each of those issues is still very much in vogue. In fact all of them are getting worse in my experience! Careless, even dangerous, driving is a growing menace on our streets and highways. I’m sure every motorist has heard a line that has become standard when referring to bad driving, “Did he (she) get his (her) licence out of a popcorn box?” It’s not funny “ha, ha” it’s a response based on frustration and anger mixed with amazement. The more I drive, the more I wonder how some of my fellow motorists were able to fool the examiner and obtain their driving permit? The number of terrible drivers has shot past the alarming level and is reaching for horrifying new heights. Certainly the growing problem of distracted driving – it is now the number one killer on our roadways – is a massive contributing factor in terms of the ever deteriorating level of safety on the roads. I have commented on distracted driving previously in this space and I don’t intend to add to what I have said, at least not at present. The situation is high profile and it speaks for itself I think. Instead I am going to look at another driving-related issue that is manifest. I experience this problem on a daily basis. And after talking to friends, acquaintances and family members about the matter I realize how widespread it is. My wife calls it “sloppy driving.” I will take it much further and refer to it as “abject stupidity.” I’m referring to the rather important matter of driving on your own side of the street or highway. An ever growing number of drivers, based on my experience, either don’t know or don’t care that they are required, by law, to share the road. I will give you a case in point from my own experience. In fact this occurrence is the straw that broke the camel’s back. I immediately made a mental note to myself. “Self,” I said. “It’s time to write a column about this!” One morning last week I was driving on a main street in our hometown, Carleton Place. It’s a wide street and at the location involved there are
residences on both sides. I was northbound and the person I will call “the offending motorist” was southbound. Right side A simple matter, right? Both drivers stay on their side of the street and all is well. Not so in this case! My lane was completely clear meaning I could proceed unimpeded. In the other lane a public works vehicle was stopped at a work site, effectively blocking the southbound lane. The flashing lights on the vehicle were a clear sign to drivers to be aware. Unfortunately a lady in a large sport utility vehicle was obviously not aware of her responsibility. Just at the critical moment, as I was passing the maintenance vehicle, her southbound SUV arrived behind the parked truck. Did she stop, as required by law, and let me pass before proceeding? I’m sure you know the answer. No, she did not! She immediately swung her vehicle to the left and proceeded to drive directly into the northbound lane which I was occupying, quite legally I hasten to add, at the time. These were low speed manoeuvres, fortunately. Instead of raising a finger – it was tempting believe me – I pointed to where she should have stopped. She saw me pointing and shot me a look that said, “Why are you pointing a finger?” She kept on coming too, forcing me to swing nearly onto the sidewalk to let her pass. She squeezed through a space I’m sure didn’t allow her vehicle more than 15 centimetres clearance on either side. Ridiculous! She had three passengers that I could see. I’m sure she told them, “Why was that idiot pointing at me?” Or words to that effect! The bottom line: She didn’t have a clue that what she had just done was totally illegal. If she had hit me, which in high speed circumstances for example could easily have happened, she would have been totally at fault. She was “failing to share the roadway” as prescribed by provincial law. Small consolation for me or anyone else who finds themselves in the same situation. Given the fact this lady clearly had no idea what her driving responsibilities were in this particular case, how did she get her licence I wonder? If the circumstances I have described aren’t part of the practical driving test in Ontario then they should be. Instead a major focus is on parallel parking, a practice only a handful of drivers even attempt once they have satisfied the requirement during their test. I’m satisfied (even proud) of my own parallel parking skill. But once my vehicle is in a forward gear and I don’t know where I’m supposed to be on the road, then what does it matter that I can parallel park? Anyway, you see my point! Believe me the circumstances I just described are not rare. They’ve be-

She took one look at her bicycle and her scream could be heard in Admaston! Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes. “Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate. “Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered. “Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.” When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards. The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

Fiddling around Lanark County at the Lanark & District Museum
R0013021901
The following is the next installment in a series of monthly articles on local museums in Lanark County. The series is being offered in partnership with the Lanark County Museums Network. May is Museum Month and the Lanark and District Museum is going to kick off the season with a special display, “Fiddling Around Lanark County!” Join the museum, Saturday, May 21 for World Fiddle Day! Local pioneer fiddles, competition trophies, photographs and music will celebrate this important part of our heritage. In the Lanark Highlands area many will tell you the story of Fiddler’s Hill near Watson’s Corners, Ontario. This tale has had a few different variations passed down through the generations. As our earliest settlers were in search of their future homes, the long and arduous journey truly began to take its toll on many of the weary travellers. Dalhousie Township certainly must have dampened the spirits of many at first sight, seeing trees, rock, and marsh land all around them, anything but ideal farm land. As the settlers pushed on through their trek they stopped at the highest point of land and took a rest, looking out towards the future village of Watson’s Corners. Some broke down in despair, many missing their loved ones overseas. A young man named Alexander Watt, lonesome from travelling without his wife and children, had brought a fiddle with him. In an effort to lift everyone’s

musical heritage. Everyone who has a family violin from the area that they would like to share is encouraged to bring it with them for the event. The Lanark & District Museum is one oldest museums in Lanark County and currently preserves the history of the Lanark Highlands & former Drummond Township. The formation of the Lanark & District Museum began in 1965 with a dedicated group of volunteers called, “The New Horizon’s Society.” After many years of tireless dedication by local volunteers the Lanark Village municipal council granted the society permission to finally build a museum in 1975. After two more years of planning and fundraising the museum officially opened July 16, 1977. In 2007 the Innisville & District Museum in Drummond Township closed. In an effort to preserve and maintain the collection of this area’s heritage, the Lanark & District Museum agreed to take on the Innisville Museum Collection. Since receiving the Innisville collection in 2008, the museum’s volunteers have worked diligently to conserve, protect and research these documents and artifacts for the public. Today, the museum continues to design new displays and host events that celebrate this important area.

Saturday, May 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., will see the opening of a new museum in McDonalds Corners in Lanark Highlands to celebrate the world of basketry. Located in a 1930s stable, the Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum houses a collection of more than 200 items, a basketry library, and a loft for workshops. Adjacent to the stable is a garden with plants that are used for baskets, such as sweet grass, winter wheat, willow, rushes and birch. In addition to baskets, the collection includes a variety of other items made using basketry techniques: mats, toys, a bee skep and even a small boat, or coracle. All the exhibits are made from materials which can be found locally. After one display of indigenous basketry, each display is focused around one kind of material: willow, cedar, birch, pine needles, cattails and rush. Another display includes the rest of the fourteen different materials. The curator of the Lanark Highlands basketry museum is Ankaret Dean who has been collecting and teaching basketry since 1975. She moved to the highlands in the early 1990s to raise sheep and bees on a
farm in Elphin. Five years ago, she moved into the old doctor’s house in the village of McDonalds Corners, and fell in love with the old stable where the doctors’ horse and carriage were housed. Dean would like the museum to be more than a display. “I don’t want visitors just to look at things. I want them to learn about the bounty of natural materials we have in our environment and to discover the pleasure of making simple baskets and useful items.” On May 28 at the grand opening of the museum visitors will have an opportunity to make beads using birch bark. The museum will be open all summer on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. from May until October to coincide with the McDonalds Corners Farmers’ Market on the MERA Schoolhouse grounds. Workshops will be arranged during the summer: the schedule currently includes workshops on using cedar bark during the month of June. Information on future workshops can be found on the website below. The museum is located in McDonalds Corners on 5596 McDonalds Corners Road. See www.ankaretdean.ca for further information.

Therapeutic riding fundraiser ‘For a Taste of the County’ back June 6 The highly anticipated fundraiser for the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program is back for the 11th year in a row Monday, June 6. That’s the date for the annual food, beer and wine gala, ‘For a Taste of the County.’ This very popular fundraiser for the riding program is back and this year it will be bigger and better than ever. The proceeds from last year’s event went into purchasing two new horses for the program and paid for winter homes for all 10 of our beautiful equine companions – thanks to all the people who come out to sup-
port us year after year. This year, to change things up a bit, the gala has been moved to Beckwith to Stonefields Event Destination, located at 1985 9th Line Beckwith K7C 3P2. The gala will be held in their lovely restored barn, the Stonefields Loft, including the 1,500 square foot patio. “We are absolutely thrilled to be donating our space for this worthwhile event. All of the effort and hard work that goes into the therapeutic riding program, and the impact that it has on those involved is so heartwarming. We are honored
to be a part of this great fundraising event,” said Stonefields owners Stephanie Brown and Steve Malenfant. Last year’s fundraiser was a great success with more than 200 people sampling the culinary delights of the Ottawa Valley’s best chefs. The food is complemented by wine and beer, served to you by experts who can help you choose and explain the different selections. In addition to the $15 entry, gala goers will purchase $1 coupons and each vendor will price their tasters between $1 and $6 so that you have the oppor-
tunity to sample many different appetizers, main courses and desserts. Between mouthfuls, you can also bid in the silent auction. All of the items are donated by local artists, artisans, businesses and individuals, with the proceeds going to the riding program. The auction includes: original paintings and photographs, gift certificates, pottery, horse paraphernalia, collectables, stained glass, and many other items. Tickets are on sale now in Carleton Place at Lanark Community Programs and Mill St. Books

UCDSB hosts two special Truth and Reconciliation Commission gatherings The two gatherings entitled Truth and Reconciliation Commission + 1 (TRC+1): A Gathering for Reflection and Renewal were held Monday, May 9 and Tuesday, May 10 at Naismith Memorial Public School in Almonte, and Wednesday, May 11 and Thursday, May 12 at Rothwell-Osnabruck School in Ingleside. In total, 900 students, along with a number of local dignitaries, participated in events
spread over four days. “The TRC report has provided us with opportunities to discuss Reconciliation,” says Susan Edwards, UCDSB superintendent of school. “These gatherings are opportunities for learning, openness, and conversations.” It is the UCDSB’s mission - and its commitment to its communities - to prepare all students for a successful life. We understand that delivering on this mission includes
preparing our students to successfully engage in respectful relations with others and to be prepared to fully engage in reconciliation as envisioned by the TRC. In addition to the steps that we are taking to focus on teaching and learning that further contributes to building respectful relationships, we hosted this annual gathering so we are able to “take stock” of our movements forward in this commitment.
The first day of each gathering was for Grades 5 and 6 students from their respective school families. First Nations, Métis and Inuit Knowledge Keepers and Elders engaged with youth throughout the day in workshops which were held
in tents set up on the respective sites. Day two activities included: student-focused learning sessions with Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, Elders and community members; facilitated conversations on what “Rec-
onciliation” means with senior board officials, members of FNMI communities, FNMI student leaders, and the creation and planting of a heart garden. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board

Parks Canada announces upgrades to Rideau Canal infrastructure Parks Canada announced May 10 that it will be making $57.3 million in Rideau Canal National Historic Site infrastructure investments. The Rideau Canal is a chain of important lakes, rivers and canals winding 202 km from Kingston, at the head of Lake Ontario, to Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. The Rideau Canal is a national historic site, a Canadian Heritage River, and a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site. Also one of Canada’s historic canals, the Rideau is maintained and operated by Parks Canada to preserve and present the canal’s natural and historic features, as well as to provide a navigable channel for boaters.

Infrastructure investments The following are examples of work that will be undertaken along the Rideau Canal National Historic Site as a result of this new federal infrastructure investment. For additional detail about previously announced projects included within the five-year federal infrastructure investment program please consult www.pc.gc.ca/rcinfrastructure. • Replace wharfs – Black Rapids and Lower Nicholsons Estimated total: $1.8 million Project description: The wharfs at Black Rapids and Lower Nicholsons are well used throughout the navigation season by boaters travelling along the Rideau Canal. The intent of this project is to replace deteriorated wharves at these two locations to ensure the quality and reliability of visitor facilities. • Rehabilitation of Burritts Rapids Swing Bridge Estimated total: $1.3 million Project description: The intent of this project is to rehabilitate the Burritts Rapids Swing Bridge; the oldest bridge along the Rideau Canal. Structural steel repairs will be required, the bridge will be sandblasted and repainted and the timber bridge deck will be
replaced. Repairs will also be required on the masonry abutments and pivot pier for the bridge. • Stabilization of Merrickville Depot Building Estimated total: $275,000 Project description: The Merrickville Depot is a building located at the lockstation in the Village of Merrickville, Ontario. The building was originally constructed in 1900 and is currently leased by the Friends of the Rideau. The Depot is a wood frame structure on a timber foundation that has reached the end of its lifespan. This project will involve raising the building and reconstructing its foundation. • Rehabilitation Lock 29a and Smiths Falls basin walls Estimated total: $3.4 million Project description: This project will rehabilitate a number of components at the Lock 29a site. The upper and lower gates need to be replaced. Both sets of gates will be replaced with the lower set using steel gates and the upper set retaining the wooden stacked timber style of gates which were originally installed in 1972. Hydraulic and electric systems will be enhanced to improve the reliability of operation, repairs will be made to various concrete structures, and public safety elements such as guard rails will also be addressed. • Rehabilitation of Jones Falls Locks and Arch Dam (masonry) Estimated total: $10.5 million Project description: The objective of this project is to undertake major masonry rehabilitations of the historic Jones Falls locks and stone arch dam. The work includes the rehabilitation of all masonry components and will include stone replacement, stone repair, repointing, grouting and repair of the stone arch dam toe drain system. • Repairs to various bridges Estimated total: $3.9 million Project description: Rehabilitation and repairs will be completed over a period of three years on the following
eight bridges along the Rideau Canal: Long Island swing bridge, Kilmarnock swing bridge, Old Slys swing bridge, Detached swing bridge, Narrows swing bridge, Lower Brewers swing bridge, and Brass Point fixed and swing bridges. This work will improve the overall lifespan and safety of these structures, and may entail structural repairs, re-
painting, and re-surfacing of bridge decks. • Replacement of Lock Gates Estimated total: $2 million Project description: These new funds will augment Parks Canada’s internal capacity for lock gate replacement over the next four years and address a backlog of deferred work relat-

Money Monster a high stakes thriller My Take
MARK HASKINS
puter glitch, and Kyle loses everything. Desperate, angry, and lost Kyle manages to get on the set of Money Monster. He pulls a gun on Lee and takes over the show. Kyle wants answers for what happened, and he isn’t buying the computer glitch theory. He forces Lee to put on a suicide vest, and demands Patty keep the cameras rolling. They’re going out live, and if someone doesn’t tell him what really happened to his money he’s going to blow everyone up. Money Monster provides some very interesting juxtapositions. The most obvious is the one between the world of high finance, and the world of the working class. For most of us, high finance is nothing more than a score we see on the news telling us which stock exchange has gone up or down. Kyle puts a face on the real consequences of those numbers. He’s at the mercy of a system he doesn’t
understand, but he still recognizes when the fix is in. The more subtle juxtaposition is between reality and TV. When Kyle takes the show hostage the cameras keep rolling. Millions of people are watching and cheering Kyle on. There’s a disconnect that happens. It’s as if because it’s on TV it isn’t real. Jodi Foster strings it along beautifully, and then at just the right moment she has reality come crashing down like a tidal wave on an unsuspecting town. Foster gets up close to her cast. There’s an intimacy in the way she frames each shot. It’s all about the fear in Clooney’s eyes, the intelligence and calm with which Roberts takes control, and the anger and desperation in O’Connell’s voice. It’s in the disbelief of Caitriona Balfe as her character realizes the truth, and the arrogance of Dominic West’s character as CEO of IBIS. These are tremendous performances. For me Money Monster isn’t just an interesting story about a Wall Street conspiracy. It’s a fascinating look at the people involved. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: Money Monster STARRING: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O’Connell, Caitriona Balfe, Giancarlo Esposito, and Dominic West DIRECTOR: Jodi Foster Money Monster is what happens when worlds collide. There’s the world of high finance and the world of the working stiff. There’s the surreal world of TV, and the real world the rest of us live in. There’s what’s right and what’s wrong. Lee Gates (George Clooney) is the host of Money Monster, a stock tip show where Lee is the financial guru. At least that’s what he’d like you to think, but between the dancing girls, the sound effects and the catch phrases, the show is more entertainment than actual financial news. Still, between him and his long suffering director Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) they try to put a show together people like to watch. Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell) was certainly watching. He takes one of Lee’s stock tips and bets all his savings on a company called IBIS Global Capital. Then IBIS loses $800 million due to a com-

Vanilla-spiked strawberry danish a tasty treat for dessert Fresh strawberry danishes are easy to make using frozen puff pastry. We’ve added cardamom, a classic Scandinavian spice to the glaze. Preparation time: 2 minutes Cooking time: 5 minutes Cooling time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients • 2 cups (500 mL) chopped strawberries • 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar • 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla • 1 sheet (225 g) frozen butter puff pastry, thawed • 1 egg yolk • 1 tbsp (15 mL) water • 1/4 cup (50 mL) icing sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) milk • Pinch ground cardamom Preparation instructions In medium saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar; cook over medium heat stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Mash with potato masher until just little bits remain. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water until smooth. Whisk into strawberry mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. Refrigerate until fully cooled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, unroll puff pastry, leaving on parchment paper, set on baking sheet. Trim to form a 10- x
mixture. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Cool completely before icing. In medium bowl, whisk icing sugar with milk, remaining vanilla and car-
damom. Add a drop or two of milk if glaze is too thick; drizzle over danish. Slice and serve. Nutritional information (one serving): • Protein: 3 grams

These strawberry danishes are a snap to make using frozen puff pastry. 8-inch (25 x 20 cm) rectangle. Position pastry with 8-inch (20 cm) side towards you. Starting at bottom right corner of pastry, using a sharp knife, diagonally cut 3-inch (7.5 cm) strips of pastry, about 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide, right to the top of pastry (there might be a tiny triangle of leftover pastry at top, simply discard). Repeat with left side of pastry. Refrigerate pastry on baking sheet while strawberries cool. In small bowl, whisk egg yolk with water; set aside. Spoon strawberry filling down centre of pastry from top to bottom, it should be about 2-inches (5 cm) wide. Starting with left strip, fold one strip over strawberry filling to cover. Then fold one right strip over to cover strawberry filling and part of the left strip. Continue folding left then right strips, right to the bottom. Pastry should resemble a braid.

Catholic school board student trustee elected for 2016-2017 The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) is pleased to announce that Alexa Meeson, a grade 11 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Brockville, has been elected as the next Catholic student trustee for the CDSBEO. Meeson will be assuming the role from current Catholic student trustee Thomas Mooney, a student at Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall. After being elected at the student senate meeting on April 21, Meeson remarked, “I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to serve all of the students of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, and I am excited to continue working with the members of the Student Senate in this new role.” “Our board has been so fortunate to have had excellent student trustees sit at our board,” remarked board chair Brent Laton. “All of the trustees of the CDSBEO look forward to working with trustee Meeson as she assumes her new role in September.” Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland commented on the election results, “I am delighted to welcome Alexa Meeson as our next Catholic student trustee for 2016-17. Through her work with the Student Senate, it is apparent that she is extremely dedicated and very eager to take on this new role.” As Catholic student trustee, Alexa Meeson will represent the more than 12,800 students across the board. She
will lead the Student Senate, which is made up of representatives from all CDSBEO secondary schools. The senate discusses student issues, gathers student opinion, and helps to develop communications with all students across the CDSBEO. It also provides a means for student council leaders and senators to gain leadership skills. In addition to serving on the board of trustees and the Catholic Student Senate, Meeson will have the opportunity to meet other student trustees, and trustees from across the province. Current Catholic student trustee Thomas Mooney was enthusiastic to welcome Alexa Meeson to her new role. “I am very confident Alexa will be an exemplary advocate and a strong voice for all the students in our board,” he said. “It has been such an honour to represent all of the amazing students in our board and to have experienced how much the CDSBEO values the student voice. I am very excited to be passing the torch onto someone as promising as Alexa.” Meeson will assume her new role in September, when she is officially sworn in at the inaugural board meeting for the 2016-17 school year. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

Health unit: 2016 marks the International Year of Pulses meat, fish and poultry. They are high in both soluble and insoluble fibre. Fibre feeds healthy bacteria in our gut, plays a role in lowering cholesterol, helps us feel full, and helps keep our bowels regular. The carbohydrate in pulses is absorbed slowly – helpful for those dealing with diabetes. Pulses are gluten free – of great value to those dealing with celiac disease or gluten intolerances.
They are low in sodium and contain important B-vitamins and minerals such as iron and potassium. To help reduce gas, increase the amount of pulses in your diet slowly, drink lots of water and rinse canned beans, lentils and chickpeas. Pulses can be grown in wet or dry, hot or cold locations. They require little or no nitrogen containing fertilizers, they use less water to grow than

This is the International Year of Pulses, not heart beat pulses but rather the type of food called pulses. Pulses are dried peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas. If you’ve eaten split pea soup, baked beans, hummus or kidney beans in chili then you’ve eaten pulses. Pulses do not include fresh green beans or peas, soybeans or peanuts.

Bluegrass comes to Perth May 29 by way of The Pie Plates In spite of some of the scary political squabblings leaking over Canada’s southern border from the US lately, there has, over time, also been a pleasing musical genre called ‘bluegrass’ that’s been willingly accepted north of the border and been given a Canadian touch by musicians who love the harmonies and sweet instrumentation they get to work within. Sunday, May 29 at 7 p.m. at O’Reilly’s Ale House – Sunday Listening Series will host The Pie Plates, original bluegrass at it’s best, all the way from the Brockville area. Traditional bluegrass, a kissing cousin of country music, evolved from English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish folk and traditional music being brought to the Appalachia Region (Eastern US) by early settlers finding jobs in the mines, railway and lumbering industries. Ballad singers often accompanied by fiddle, with an infused blend of blues from the black community created a sound unique to the area. As acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, washboards, dobro and stand up bass added to the mix, the complexity of vocal harmony and instrumental dexterity further developed the sound to the varieties we hear today. Most agree it first evolved more formally around the ‘30s and ‘40s. Known as ‘hillbilly music’ and later labelled ‘country & western,’ it was more appropriately classified as ‘bluegrass’ in the late ‘50s. Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys of the late ‘40s exemplified the traditional bluegrass styling, utilizing acoustic instruments and multi-part vocal harmonizing.

Monroe once described bluegrass as “Scottish bagpipes and old time fiddling. It’s Methodist, Holiness and Baptist. It’s blues and jazz and a high lonesome sound.” I also think of the Stanley Brothers, Doc Watson or Flatt & Scruggs who also put their own stamps on the genre. Younger players like Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Jerry Douglas, Allison Krauss, David Grisman and the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia have carried it on, including Toronto’s Foggy Hogtown Boys. Progressive bluegrass (sometimes called ‘newgrass’) is another style utilizing more electrified instruments, re-configuring rock and roll and other different style songs, bluegrass style, while still retaining the musical instrumentation and complexity. ‘Jamgrass’ is another term used for jamming with bluegrass stylings. For jazz infused bluegrass, I think of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Railroad Earth or the Punch Brothers. Bluegrass gospel is much the same as traditional but employs Christian lyrics as its message. As music does feed from itself, variations on the genre continue with lots of fusion between genres. The 2000 movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, had a Canadian connection via producer, singer/songwriter Colin Linden (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings), who worked with T-Bone Burnett to develop its soundtrack which helped re-establish bluegrass to a broader audience of current day.

New comedy by popular playwright runs at Station Theatre June 10 to 19 Last June, director Sheila Jasiak introduced patrons to a play by Katherine DiSavino. Nana’s Naughty Knickers proved an instant success, building to sell-out performances in the last week. Sheila is back with DiSavino’s latest hit – Things My Mother Taught Me – on stage at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls from June 10 to 19. It promises to be a rollicking show: funny, touching, laugh-out-loud entertainment that takes a wry look at generational relationships. DiSavino is one of the top-75 best-selling playwrights published by Samuel French. Her plays have been translated into multiple languages and performed around the world. Theatre critics have called her work “true to life” and “superbly written.” DiSavino told our director that when she first sat down to write the play she knew she wanted it to be about two things: “my love for my then-boyfriend (now husband!) and the love I have for my family – my mother and father, and his mother and father. The characters in this play are inspired by these incredible (and sometimes crazy) people in my life.” The play opens with Olivia and Gabe moving into their first apartment together. They’ve just packed up all their belongings and driven to Chicago to start a new life. Their moving day doesn’t go exactly as planned and things become more complicated
when both sets of parents show up at the two-bedroom apartment wanting to help. In the end the meddling parents pass on some of their best life-lessons, but not without a bit of good-natured frustration for everyone concerned. The female lead, Oliva, played by Jennifer Jasiak, has been acting with the Station Theatre for years, participating in productions such as Anne with an E, The Heiress, and each of the Christmas pantomimes, taking on ever bigger roles. Jennifer is also an awarded competitive actress out of the Sears Theatre Festival. Gabe, the boyfriend, is played by Clifford Glas, who used to be a part of the Mississippi Mudds, playing Young Scrooge in Humbug and The Prince in Cinderella. He has also performed in two ‘50s and ‘60s themed school musicals and took on a major role in last year’s panto, Puss In Boots, for the Station Theatre. The two principals have mastered their characters and together drive the story forward with high energy and a delightful comic touch. The young lovers are joined by experienced actors playing the sometimes annoying parents: Linda Pipher is Olivia’s mom, Rob Glas her dad; Lynn McMillan plays the role of Gabe’s mom and Michel Doyon is Gabe’s dad. Kelly Gaston rounds out the cast in the role of Maxine, the

The cast of the Smiths Falls Station Theatre’s upcoming production, Things My Mother Taught Me, are shown in this recent group photo. The group has been hard at work on the play, written by Katherine DiSavino, which is being directed by Sheila Jasiak. It runs from June 10 to 19. building super who always seems to show up at awkward moments. Director Sheila Jasiak has a great
feel for DiSavino’s style. An experienced actress herself, having acted at the Station Theatre since 2009 in a variety of significant roles in plays and pantomimes and recently at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth, she brings “Things” to the stage fresh from her highly successful interpretation of last year’s DiSavino offering. Sheila has fun with her cast and fully enjoys the laughs along with her audiences. She’s lucky to have good help in her endeavour: among her talented production crew are Pauline Crowder, producer; Jacqueline Lackey, stage manager; and Bill Hamilton, set design/construction. Evening performances of the play take place on June 10,11,16,17 and 18 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees are on June 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. Adults $20 and students $10. Group rates (at $15) are available for some performances. The play, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., was originally produced at the Rainbow Dinner Theater in Pennsylvania in the summer of 2012. Call 613-283-0300 for ticket details (and for credit card purchases) or go to our website at www.smithsfalls theatre.com. Cash only ticket sales are at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East in Smiths Falls and at the door one-half hour before each performance. The Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave, the site of the former CPR
Railway Station. Screening of A Royal Night Out May 27-28 The Station Theatre’s Weekend Film Nights series ends its spring season with a light-hearted British romantic comedy-drama. It’s VE Day in1945, when Britons were celebrating the end of war in Europe. This fictionalized version of events finds the young, cautious Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) and the more adventurous Margaret (Bel Powley) out on the town. The Queen (Emily Watson) is against the idea, but George VI (played by Rupert Everett) lets them go on condition that they report back on the people’s feeling towards him and reaction to his midnight speech on the radio. It turns out to be a night full of excitement, danger and a first flutter of romance. Though based on a real occasion, the story directed by Julian Jarrold, does not pass the test of full historical accuracy – nor should it, as the film version has been made in the interest of good fun and an altogether enjoyable viewing experience. Screenings are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 27 and Saturday, May 28. Tickets, sold for cash only at the door are $10 for adults, $5 for students. Rating: PG, mature subject matter.

Classic Theatre Festival announces 2016 summer season cast The Classic Theatre Festival has announced its 2016 summer season cast, a stellar lineup of some of Canada’s top performing talent who will be spending the summer in Perth as part of the company’s expanded seventh season, running June 22 to Sept. 11. The mainstage season officially opens with the Neil Simon comedy I Ought to Be in Pictures, a tale of father-daughter reconciliation that will star William Vickers (returning after his comic turn last year as the outrageous Victor Velasco in Barefoot in the Park), Alison Smyth (who won a Capital Critics Circle Best Actress nomination for her role as the blind hostage Susy Hendrix in last summer’s Wait Until Dark), and Barb Scheffler, a veteran of the Ontario summer theatre circuit including Thousand Islands Playhouse and Drayton Festival. The Simon play is followed by a show George Orwell considered the wittiest work to be penned by the inimitable George Bernard Shaw, Arms and the Man. The tale of a naïve, patriotic young woman who falls in love with a soldier who just happens to fight for the “other side,” it stars a series of festival veterans: Rachel Fischer and Catherine Bruce (both from last year’s Barefoot in the Park), Alastair Love (his third CTF season following a star turn in Wait Until Dark), Alan Lee and Lindsay Robin-

Newcomer Lana Sugarman makes her debut at the festival this summer after her recent five-star appearance at the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival as Desdemona in Othello. The main stage season closes out with the fascinating, gripping mystery An Inspector Calls, J. B. Priestley’s remarkable story: a body winds up at the morgue and everyone becomes a suspect. It features Festival favourites William Vickers, Greg Campbell (who has delighted in playing the less than savoury characters in Dial M for Murder and Wait Until Dark), and Sean
Jacklin (whose comic turn as a stairchallenged telephone repairman in Barefoot in the Park marked his first appearance on the festival stage). The show also welcomes veteran thespians who are newcomers to the festival stage, including Elana Post, an award-winning performer and filmmaker, playwright and actor Fraser Elsdon, and Anna Burkholder, making her Canadian debut after a decade working in the UK, most memorably at the National Theatre in a production of Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens. With artistic producer Laurel Smith directing the three mainstage shows, costume designer Renate Seiler returns once again to apply her close attention to colour as a means of un-
derscoring plot and character development. Also returning to contribute to the festival’s highly-regarded visual presentation is lighting designer Wesley McKenzie (who won critical praise for his debut season at the festival last year). The festival is very privileged to welcome set designer Lois Richardson whose sets graced the stage at the Capitol Theatre in Port Hope for many years. Behind the scenes will be stage managers Jennifer Stobart (who has helmed more than 130 shows across Canada, including two in Perth), and Alison Muir, a Maritimes transplant with the distinction of a joint Masters in Acting from Carnegie Mellon University and the Moscow Art Theatre School. Assistant directors this season will include the multi-talented Laura Caswell and Perth’s own acclaimed theatre artist, Joanna Macauley-Treffers (previously seen at the Festival in Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn.) All shows at the mainstage will run Wednesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with evening shows at 8 p.m. every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. New this year, the popular pre-show talks that have preceded matinees will be added to the evening shows as well, a half our before each performance. The every-popular, family-friendly theatrical historic walking tours that stroll through the downtown streets six times a week will return this year with two new plays by Laurel Smith,

both directed by Sean Jacklin. The morning Perth through the Ages walk (Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m.) will focus on a story arising from the early interactions between the Algonquin people (who continue to live in this area after 8,000 years), and the European settlers who were greatly assisted by local Indigenous people. The Friday Night Lonely Ghosts Walk (7-8 p.m.) will focus on Perth’s role as a distillery town and the women who fought for temperance. The walking tours feature a troupe of gifted young performers including Morgan MacDonald, Garrett Pipher, Emily Richardson and Connor Williamson. “It’s going to be a very full season as Perth celebrates its 200th anniversary, and we anticipate thousands of tourists once again descending on our town, enjoying our shows as well as everything else we have to offer, from the great heritage accommodations to the wonderful restaurants and shops and the gorgeous surroundings they encounter,” says Smith. Tickets to the 2016 summer season are available, with discounts for double passes (10 per cent off two shows) and season passes (15 per cent off for three shows), with flexible options for picking dates later.

Flamenco with a flair at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre on May 28 May 28 brings the internationallyacclaimed flamenco duo, Concerts Flamenco to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. Marta and Richard Moir, from their Montreal base, have toured the world, with performances nearly everywhere, from Australia to India, from the US to the Ukraine and even in the heart of flamenco music, Spain. Everywhere they go, they are received with enthusiastic reviews, praising their virtuoso musicianship and their passion for their music. Concerts Flamenco concentrate on two of the four elements of the flamenco style: Cante or Voice and Toque or Guitar. Marta has, however, been known to display her skills at Baile (Dance) at times in the performance. The fourth element, the Jaleo, which roughly translated means “hell raising”, is the spontaneous handclapping, foot stomping, and shouting that are a big part of the style. The audience are encouraged to join in with that. Concerts Flamenco are something very different from the usual and might even ignite some flamenco flames in you. The show time is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are exclusively at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth (613-267-6817, 1-800-518-2729 or www.shadowfax. on.ca). In the meantime, BarnDoor Productions is working hard on their special summer series of productions to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Perth and the surrounding townships. The shows are written about, for and by the community, original shows which look at the past, present and future of the area. The Last Deadman in June looks at the famous 1833 duel in Perth and the effect it had on the man who “won.” It takes as its seed the legend that each year, on the anniversary of the duel, the survivor, John Wilson, would shut himself in his study and sit in the dark to reflect on it. Wilson, went on to be one of the most respected judges and politicians of the time, co-founder of the forerunner of today’s Liberal Party, cofounder of the radical Ultra-Reform Party, and someone who helped to shape the country at its birth, very nearly becoming Canada’s first prime minister. His funeral cortege in London, Ontario was followed by 10,000 people. The remarkable thing about the actual duel is that the people involved were nearly all teenagers, and The Last Deadman brings together a cast of some of the best of the region’s young talent, taking on a “music drama” about events that had great consequences for Canada. The show is a multimedia collage of story, ideas, images, music and drama, told with both humour and suspense. It is a very tough script for young performers and presents them
with a dramatic style they may not have encountered before. What is impressing BarnDoor’s producers is the energy with which the young cast are tackling the play and their ability to assimilate new ideas and new acting challenges. The Last Deadman runs June 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. and June 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre. The Great Perth Temperance Soiree in July is a real change of pace from the theatricality of the June show. It’s fast, funny and very musical look at the Temperance movement in Perth in the 1800s – which sounds like it will be dry as toast, but is, in fact, a great evening of entertainment. It’s more like a vaudeville show than anything else. Written by Perth’s Janet Coward, the script is taken directly from the pages of the Perth Courier, going back to the very first edition in 1834. It is both factual and fun. The July production will be the show’s premiere, a chance to see something that is at once very old and brand-new! Going from vaudeville to Broadway, Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing, running in August, is a full-on Broadway-style musical that has thrilled audiences in previous productions. In fact, it’s called a “musical chiller” and it’s based on a legend that has long been whispered about the tiny hamlet of Rideau Ferry. Back in the very early days of the district settlement, the Oliver’s ran the ferry and a small inn at what was then called Oliver’s Landing. They had a unique way of enhancing their financial situation – you might say, they made a killing at it. Ghost Stories, which debuted in Perth in 1984, has been called “superior stuff! It has been called “Grim, clever, funny…thrilling, indeed!” by critics. It’s an engrossing, entertaining and a little bit scary show that has been a huge crowd-pleaser. The last show in the series is not actually going to be a BarnDoor production. Originally planned by BarnDoor Productions, Death & Taxes, The Musical has been adopted by the Perth Community Choir (PCC) as their fall show, moving the venue from the Full Circle Theatre to the bigger stage at Perth & District Collegiate and the production’s run from October to November. It is an unabashedly old-fashioned kind of musical, with toe-tapping, hand-clapping songs and lots of fun to be had by all. Death & Taxes, The Musical is a musical comedy about a small town struggling to survive in the face of the onrush of modern times – but, the author insists, it’s absolutely not about Perth! The author denies it categorically. The show had its first production in

Living with MS is all about rolling with what the day brings: Angela Landry By Doreen Barnes
On good days, no one would know that Angela Landry has multiple sclerosis (MS); other times, they think she’s inebriated, as she rocks as she walks. Multiple sclerosis affects each person differently. Known as the invisible or silent disease, sometimes people are quick to judge and make rude comments or give questioning looks. For Landry, she doesn’t give it a second thought because she knows what she can do and cannot do, so she rolls with whatever the day may bring. “I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis right after Xander, my son, was born,” shared Landry. “They waited to do an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after the birth, which was almost 18 years ago.” Landry’s aunt Melodie has MS, so she knew some of the symptoms. Multiple sclerosis is a dis-
abling disease of the central nervous system with unpredictable consequences. Along with her depth perception issue, Landry had numbness in her feet which her doctor thought was frostbite; there was also numbness in her torso, that would come and go, but no pain. Landry didn’t attribute these symptoms to the pregnancy because the numbness was there prior to the pregnancy. For Landry when she was diagnosed, it was very scary, but as time passed, she became used to it although sometimes she has to contemplate her approach. “My family has been wonderful,” stated Landry. “I have Xander and another son Elijah, who is 25 years old. I became a single parent when Xander was about two years old, and both of the boys really understood that they had to help out more around the house and they did.
At that point I was working full time as a social worker co-ordinating home services for adults with physical disabilities. Even my parents have been absolutely wonderful “ While living and working in Toronto, Landry had to give up her job when fatigue set in. Each day would take her an hour subway ride. It’s been almost four years, since Landry and her mate Tom moved to Brockville. Upon arrival in Brockville, Landry found that there are some places not accessible, that not all sidewalks have the appropriate curb cuts to accommodate scooters. “It’s mostly downtown that things are not accessible, but people are wonderful,” indicated Landry. “The hardware store downtown, I go to the door and say I need this and they will get it for me, bring it out and I pay for it. People work with you!”
Early on, Landry contacted the local MS society to ask about supports group and activities. Margaret Loiselle, programs and service co-ordinator, gave Landry information, contact names and introduced her to what was available. Now, Landry frequents the Brockville Public Library, is connected with a book club and joined the YMCA of Brockville and Area’s Sit and Fit class, three days a week. “The Y has been so great for her,” said Xander, “as it has brought up her energy.” As for uptown Brockville, Landry has a problem seeing the crosswalk indicator to
cross intersections. “It is difficult crossing Parkedale because I cannot see the little white man, and that’s when Xander comes in handy,” said Landry. “The tweet downtown (for crossing the street) is great.” During the winter, Landry’s Sit and Fit class members offer her rides to the Y and she has been so grateful for their kindness. Winter weather is hard for Landry, as she’s not as mobile and as independent as she likes to be. Her daily routine is similar to that of anyone else: cooking or laundry, cleaning, reading,

Even with multiple sclerosis, Angela Landry fills her days with the same tasks that other people do. Perhaps her approach to things may be a little different, but as she says, she rolls with whatever the day brings. Diagnosed about 18 years ago, her family has been a wonderful support to her. Beside Landry is her son Xander, who has grown up with the various symptoms that his mother has experienced. Landry is very inspirational, always smiling and keeping quite busy.

Why deepest tread tires should go to rear of front wheel drive vehicles “Hello Brian, In a recent column in the Perth Courier you stated that when re-installing summer tires on a front wheel drive vehicle, the pair of tires with the deepest tread should be placed on the rear of the vehicle. Why is that? I was thinking the opposite because I assumed you would want the tires that propel the vehicle and that do the majority of the braking should have the best tread. I look forward to your explanation. Thanks, Bob” Yes it might seem counterintuitive to put new tires on the rear of a front wheel drive vehicle and leave the worn ones on the front (and this is the source of many conversations/
debates at the service counter) but it has been demonstrated time and time again that it’s the safest way to go. It all has to do with driver confidence, reaction and whether it’s more risky to lose grip on the front end of a vehicle or the rear in emergency manoeuvres. While new tires on the front give great traction for braking and acceleration, drivers often forget the rear wheels have to stick to the road too and when they let go (as in start to slide) the results are far worse than you might imagine. When front wheels lose grip on a corner, most drivers can regain control simply by backing off the throttle and easing on the brakes. But when the rear tires fail to grab, about the
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
only thing a driver (and their passengers) can do is hang on until the spinning stops; no steering or braking control. If you want to see some great demonstrations of this, log onto YouTube and put ‘new tires front or rear’ in the search window. You’ll find lots of videos and the ones done with proper test tracks will show you the way. New York State proposes new ‘textalyzer’ legislation

Recently a piece of legislation was introduced into the New York State legislature planning on giving police services the ability to check a driver’s cell phone to see if it was being used while the vehicle was in operation (as part of collision investigations). Evan’s Law, as it’s being referred to, stemmed from the death of a 19-year-old passenger who was riding in a vehicle involved in a collision in 2011. The driver claimed at the time that he fell asleep at the wheel while Evan was riding in the back seat. That explanation didn’t sit well with Evan’s parents and they initiated civil legal action to subpoena the driver’s cell phone record which revealed the phone was in use at the time of the collision. Police officials hope that if this technology and the legal ability to use it at the roadside
come to fruition, they will have the same deterrent effect on driver cell phone use that today’s breathalyzer units have on drinking and driving.

Shatner mans the bridge during Starfleet Academy exhibit launch in Ottawa Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Fifty years after Captain James T. Kirk first took the helm as commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, William Shatner strode confidently back onto the bridge and claimed his post once again. The Montreal native, known for many TV and film roles but adored by legions of Trekkies around the world for his lead role on Star Trek, briefly sat in the commander’s seat for photos during an evening gala event on May 12. Just a few minutes earlier, Shatner took the stage as the keynote speaker before a soldout crowd of 1,000 people inside the museum for the world premier launch of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s new exhibit, Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience. “For the first time on this planet the future has come to Ottawa, alright?” he said to cheers. “I always thought this meant Justin Trudeau,” he quipped. Shatner wasn’t the only Star Trek star to shine on stage. John de Lancie, who starred on various Star Trek TV series
as the character “Q,” and René Auberjonois, who portrayed Chief Security Officer Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, also made brief appearances, much to the delight of the crowd. Attendees also included a number of politicians, including Mélanie Joly, minister of Canadian Heritage, who took the stage to speak about government funding and museum innovation, and, in the audiErin McCracken/METROLAND ence, Marc Garneau, minister of transport, whom Joly Fifty years after Captain James T. Kirk first took the helm referred to as “our very own as commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, William Spock.” Shatner strode confidently back onto the bridge and 50 years “The Starfleet Academy experience brings 50 years of Star Trek to life in a fun, accessible, immersive way,” Shatner said, reading from a script. “So 50 years of Star Trek -- can you imagine?” he said, before recalling the call he received from Star Trek creator and producer Gene Roddenberry, who wanted Shatner to play the lead role of captain for a second attempt at a Star Trek pilot. “It was great. It had heroes and villains and aliens and beautiful women in green paint
claimed his post once again.
in tiny bikinis —everything I’m interested in,” Shatner joked. The pilot sold and the show ran for three years “barely hanging on,” and was eventually cancelled. “And then slowly it was being replayed on stations … and people began to see the show the way we had hoped from the beginning it would be seen.” “Gradually it became popular again, and 50 years later …” he said, his voice trailing off as cheers filled the museum. “Unimaginable that a show lasts. I mean, people don’t last
50 years. I’m having trouble lasting 50 years,” the 85-yearold quipped. “The show has gone on to become a phenomenon in show business. Or as Donald Trump would say, ‘It’s huge.’” To further mark the milestone anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint struck a new $10 coin that depicts Shatner as Kirk when he first brought the character to life on the small screen. The coin was unveiled during the gala ceremony. Case in point, Sherry Bouch-
er and her husband Jason Dubeau, of Greenboro, attended the gala dressed as Vulcans and had their photos taken with Shatner and enjoyed the evening spectacle, which included glow-in-the-dark sticks with cotton candy, photo-ops with costumed characters and live entertainment, including shows by aerial acrobats. Tanya Harrison and her friend Gaelan D’costa didn’t have the opportunity to travel at warp speed, and so spent much of the day leading up to the celebration on the road. “I drove nine hours to get here,” said Harrison, who came in from London, Ont., picking her friend, D’costa, up in Toronto on the way. For D’costa, the gala was an excuse to dig out his Klingon mask, which he last wore more than 20 years ago in middle school. Despite his penchant for Klingons, his favourite Star Trek character is Data, the endearing android from the Next Generation television series. “I identified a lot with Data as a kid,” D’costa said. As an immigrant, he said the character resonated with him. The android knew he was

different though he looked human, and he tried his best to fit in and learn how to be a good person. “He tried to figure out how things worked,” said D’costa. Career day The public now has the chance to figure out how things worked as recruits at a Starfleet Academy career day — the exhibit’s premise — working their way up from recruit to pilot. The experience is designed to offer a window into “the science behind the science fiction” of Star Trek and share lessons in how the show influenced real-life technologies, including a functional tricorder, lasers and teleporters, said Shatner. “So the Star Trek Academy experiences uses the Star Trek franchise as a springboard to teach visitors about science and technology,” Shatner said. Visitors will learn about various Starfleet careers, pilot a starship and face the challenging Kobayashi Maru, which will test their character. The Star Trek exhibit will remain at the museum until Sept. 5. For exhibit details, visit starfleetacademytour.com.

Locks of Love: daughter gives up hair to fundraiser for cancer research Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Hair grows back; people don’t. Jamie Walker, an Oxford Station native, is about to say goodbye to her long, curly locks in the name of love. “I’ve had long hair for a while now and I’ve been wanting to do something for the cancer society – something on that level,” said Walker. “I’ve had this need to give back.” Walker’s mom, Rhonda Walker, was diagnosed with chronic lymphoma leukemia (blood cancer) nine years ago in her mid-40s. “It was very traumatic,” said Walker, who was 18 at the time of the diagnosis. Her mom was the first person close to her affected by the plight that is cancer. “It was extremely scary.” “My mother is an incredible woman,” she continued. “Before she came to us (the family) and told us about the diagnosis, she gathered all the information she could so she could answer our questions. Nothing ever phases her.” Growing up, Walker and her brother were raised Catholic. “My mom always told us God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle,” she said. Being hit with the sudden reality of losing a parent was shocking for Walker. “The good news was her CLL was caught early. A normal white blood count is in the

blood cell count began climbing again. “This time around was harder – my mom wasn’t sure if she wanted to undergo chemotherapy again,” said Walker. “Everyone’s chemo experience is different,” explained Rhonda. “I was very tired all
the time, my whole body hurt. I didn’t lose my hair, but I felt sick and nauseous all the time. I was also afraid. It was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt just horrible.” “She decided that was something she wasn’t willing to go through again,” said Walker.

“It was hard for my dad, my brother and I.” Rhonda’s doctor explained there were other treatment options. “We were excited when we found out there were alternatives,” said Walker. “Her doctor put her on an experimental drug; a pill (Imbruvica) that helps block the white blood cells from multiplying. She is the youngest person in the experiment. The pill isn’t as fast acting as chemotherapy, but they’re doing their job. Her white blood cell count is steadily decreasing.” When Rhonda first started on Imbruvica, her count was at 170. Now it’s down in the teens. Taking the pills is far more manageable than driving into Ottawa for chemotherapy, explained Rhonda. “CLL is something that never goes away,” said Walker. “But there are so many amazing medical advancements in Canada. There are other experimental treatments as well.” Seeing what the experimental treatments have done for her mother ignited a passion to promote CLL research and awareness in Walker. “I decided I was going to chop off all my hair to fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada,” (LLSC) said Walker. “My goal is to raise $1,200.” She explained the LLSC provides grants to Canadian re-
searchers looking at new treatments for different types of blood cancers. “If it wasn’t for them and the funds they raise, then these treatments wouldn’t be available now,” said Walker. So far, Walker has raised over $600 in a week. “It’s incredible and I’m very thankful to all the people who have donated.” Walker plans to cut off 15 inches of her hair on May 31 and donate it to Locks for Love, which makes hairpieces for people aged 21 and under. All funds raised will go directly to the LLSC. “I’m nervous, but also excited about the opportunity to get the word out,” said Walker. “Hair grows back; living with blood cancer changes you for the rest of your life.” “My mom is still the rock of our family,” she continued. “She is always encouraging us to try new things and not to let hardships drag you down.” “I am very proud of her,” said Rhonda. “She is raising awareness and giving her hair to kids who need it. I am very proud. It started as something small and now it’s snowballed.” Check out Walker’s story on Facebook at Jamie’s #CutOff4Cancer.

sure everybody has seen what the residents had to drive through.” “It’s a terrible tragedy and as I said, I hope everybody digs deep,” said Gordon. The federal government has committed to match funds donated to the Canadian Red Cross to help those affected by the Fort McMurray wildfires, he explained. “It looks like this fire is going to be continuing for months,” said Gordon. “It’s slowly but surely creeping towards Saskatchewan too – that’s how large this fire is.” The donations made to Red Cross for those impacted by the fires have now surpassed $60 million. Much of that money is going towards supporting evacuees on the ground, as reported by CTV News Calgary. To donate, call the Red Cross at 1-800-418-1111 or visit www.redcross.ca.

Walking for Fort Mac The entire student body at North Grenville District High School in Kemptville was out walking the race track behind the school on May 12 to raise funds for those affected by the Fort McMurray wildfires. Each student was asked to bring in $2 to participate in the Fort Mac walk-a-thon – some donated more to the cause. A friendly rivalry between the intermediate (grade seven and eight) students and the high school (grade nine to 12) students was initiated to see who could raise more money for Fort Mac. The funds will be donated to Red Cross Canada, and then be matched by the federal government. Every day, the morning announcements at NGDHS have included updates on the Fort Mac situation. The walk-a-thon brought in a grand total of $1772.56. One grade eight student, Brennan Johnston, donated $100 of his own allowance money to the cause.

Art at its finest The second annual St. Michael Catholic High School student art show was held at the school on May 4. The event is an opportunity to showcase the student’s talent. Approximately 100 students had art on display at the show, ranging from grade nine to 12. The art included pencil drawings, pen and ink, sharpie drawings, charcoal drawings, pastel drawings, prints, acrylic paintings, water paintings, pottery and sculptures. Clockwise, from above, the St. Mike’s girls rugby team held a bake sale fundraiser during the art show. The funds will go towards tournament fees and travel costs. Pictured are members of the team; grade 12 student Kyleigh Jampen stands beside a recreation of her grandparents wedding photo with charcoal pencils; grade 12 student Lauren Norenberg created three different expressions her friend Neve McKay makes using pen ink. Below, grade 12 student Trevor Holmes created a portrait of Bruce Springsteen for his dad using charcoal.

All welcome to attend free social networking safety talk in Kemptville June 7 Jennifer Westendorp

in.
It’s a different world we live
Parents, grandparents and caregivers take note; there will be a free social networking safety talk at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on June 7 at 7 p.m. The event is open to everyone and free babysitting services will be available on site. “This is something that was spearheaded by the nine community schools,� said Constable Cathy Lindsey, community safety officer. A joint grant proposal was put in by all nine schools to get Paul Davis, an expert on social networking safety, to come speak to grade four to nine students on June 6, 7 and 8. Davis will also be leading the public talk on June 7. “This event is for parents, grandparents, caregivers, older students who didn’t get to hear it at school and anyone else who is interested,� said Const. Lindsey. “I want to stress to everyone that just because you’re not a parent doesn’t mean you won’t be interested in this information.� The first time Const. Lind-
sey was introduced to Davis was at an internet exploitation seminar at the OPP General Headquarters in Orillia. “It was very fascinating,� said Const. Lindsey. “He is so engaging. There was an entire room full of officers who wanted to hear more messaging.� Every week, the Grenville Detachment of the OPP gets calls related to social media. “Typically, it’s inappropriate – nude – photos,� said Const. Lindsey. “It fits the definition of child pornography.� Every single year, Const. Lindsey goes into the local schools and teaches kids about social networking safety. The messaging is the same, but the technology keeps changing. “We are still getting the calls. We need to educate the parents and adults.� She explained caregivers need to be more diligent and supervise the usage of social media. “Even if you feel you know everything about social media, I guarantee you are going to hear something that will shock you,� said Const. Lindsey. “This is so worthwhile.� The choices children make

now on social media could affect their whole lives. “What doesn’t seem like a big deal when you’re 14 can be a huge deal when you go to apply for a job or university,� said Const. Lindsey. “Everybody has a cellphone. The things you do can be on YouTube in seconds. This is a different world and we need to adapt to the technology. It’s not going away.� There are different techniques and tools parents can use to monitor their child’s social media usage, she explained. “There will also be a question and answer period following the talk.� It’s integral for both parents to attend, if possible, she explained. “We tend to see mothers at these kinds of things, but I’d like to see the fathers there as well,� said Const. Lindsey. “We’ve had kids as young as 11 take nude photos of themselves in our community.� “We need to do a better job,� she continued. “The police can’t do this on their own; the schools can’t do this on their own. We need parents to step-up and take a role in it.�

Community support grows for the Kemptville Farmers’ Market As local farmers and artisans prepare for what will be a vibrant, colourful and varied market season, the Kemptville Farmers’ Market, (KFM) has experienced a blossoming of community support for this valued social space and local food hub. A new sign located on the market footprint at 200 Sanders St. in Kemptville, is a visible indication of the progress the Kemptville Farmers’ Market is experiencing. The Municipality of North
Grenville’s Community Improvement Program provided partial funding for the sign. “It was a pleasure to work with the Kemptville Farmers Market on new signage for their location in the B&H parking lot in the Rideau-Sanders Triangle” said Teri Devine, Economic Development Officer with the municipality. “The Kemptville Farmers’ Market continues to invest and expand with more vendors each year and a growing customer base. The market is a
great community hub providing local food” Devine noted on the rationale for the investment. Exciting plans are in the works for the 2016 market season with an additional market day planned for Wednesday evenings through July and August. “Feedback from market customers demonstrated considerable support for a weeknight market. It’s a way for busy working families to source healthy, local food more
frequently.” says John Barclay, KFM Chairman. Wednesday night markets will feature vendors with hot meal items along with fresh produce and tasty baked goods so customers can find dinner and their groceries all in one stop on their commute home from work. Be sure to mark your calendar for the 2016 Kemptville Farmers’ Market Grand Opening, presented by Rob Thompson Realty, on Sunday, May 29th. “With generous financial
support from Rob Thompson, Rekmans Automotive and The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill, the Grand Opening will be a true celebration of local food, providing a space for people to connect in an atmosphere of fun and familyfriendly good times” says Barclay. Children will find much to smile about at the Big Sky Ranch petting zoo and a children’s zone with nature crafts to keep little hands busy while parents browse all that is for sale. A resurrection of Veg-
Stock, the local music festival that preceded the Dandelion Festival, is planned. VegStock 2.0 featuring Meredith Luce, Bruce Enloe and Friends, and Al Wood & The Woodsmen promises to set a festive tone. Headliners Phlat Black and Blue, will bring down the house with some added volume – a sure sign that a bigger and better 2016 market season is under way in Kemptville.

Tom Lavin and The Powder Blues Band coming to KLMF For over three decades Powder Blues has been Canada’s leading blues band. The sound is a mix of swing, blues, jazz, rock & roll and r & b with an appeal so wide that people from seven to seventy often swing side by side at a Powder Blues concert. Over the years the band has toured nonstop through Canada, the United States and overseas, spreading a feel-good groove that makes people dance and shout. Band highlights include winning Canada’s Juno, headlining the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, winning the Blues Foundation Award in Memphis, Tennessee and touring the US and Europe with legends like Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, James
Brown, Albert Collins, James Cotton and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Leader, Tom Lavin has written many of the band’s bestknown songs including ‘Doin’ It Right’ [‘On the Wrong Side of Town’] and ‘Boppin With the Blues’. Born in Chicago where he watched and worked with local bands and blues legends, Tom moved to Vancouver gigging nightly in the downtown nightclub scene. This led to work as a studio musician, song writer, band leader, record producer and film composer. Tom has won BCMIA awards for ‘Guitarist, Singer, Songwriter and Producer of the Year’, a Juno award for ‘Best New Band’ and the American W.C. Handy award. He has over a dozen gold,
Procedure to fill vacancy Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
The proposed procedure to fill a council vacancy was outlined to the committee of the whole on May 9. “In accordance with the Municipal Act, if there is a vacancy on council, it can be filled one of two ways; by appointment or by-election,” said Cahl Pominville, clerk. “The draft bylaw in your package establishes a procedure to fill a vacancy on council by appointment, which does meet the requirements of the act. A little bit of history on this – last year, back in 2015, council approved a process to fill a vacancy on council for councillor. At that time, staff reviewed a number of processes that were done by other municipalities and found that a number had been the subject of closed meeting investigations by both the Ontario Ombudsman and a law firm that works on the behalf of AMO (Associations of Municipalities Ontario). “ He said the investigations found the processes undertaken by other municipalities were not in accordance with the act, which is to be open and transparent. “The process followed by North Grenville did meet the spirit and intent of the act,” said Pominville. “The draft bylaw proposes that procedure be established based on the same process used in 2015.” He explained the procedure addresses a vacancy on council within six months of a municipal election,
as well as more than six months after. “If a vacancy on council occurs within six months of a municipal election, council shall fill the vacancy by appointing the person elected next based on the number of votes the person received in the election and they have consented to accept the office,” said Pominville. “The second part of the bylaw refers to when there has been more than six months after a municipal election. If the vacancy on council for councillor occurs more than six months after, council shall fill the vacancy by appointing someone to the vacancy who has consented to take the office. If a vacancy for mayor occurs more than six months after an election, council shall fill the vacancy by appointing the deputy mayor, if they consent to accept the office. “If in the six month initial period, candidate number five would be the person we would ask, if they would like to assume the position,” said Barb Tobin, deputy mayor. “If that candidate refuses, what is the procedure.” She questioned whether candidate number six would then be asked, which is not clear in the wording of the bylaw. “It does not speak to going past that next one,” said Pominville. “If there is direction from council to do so – it does not speak directly to that.” Passing a resolution to accept the bylaw was deferred until the wording can be changed.

Don’t blink
’ve been doing this whole motherhood thing for a long time. Eight years ago, almost to the day (May 16), I became a mother. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around that for the last month or so, as my oldest sons’ birthday approached. I simply can’t. I have no idea where the last eight years of my life went. Hendrick was a skinny, tall baby, if that makes sense. He took his first step before his first birthday and spat out his first word (hot dog) a few months later. He has always moved fast. His hair used to be long and curly, before it was cut for the first time. I can still see his bouncy blonde ringtails running ahead to the park. I read to him every single night until he fell asleep. When he would get sick, we would spend the whole day together on the couch – watching movies and drinking ginger ale. When he first started school, about once a month we would play hooky together to go do something fun because I missed him so much when he was gone five days a week. I used to be able to grab him up and clutch him to me without protest. If he did try to escape, I could bear hug him into submission. Not anymore. Hendrick is now over four-feet tall and weighs close to 80 pounds, which means he can run faster than me and worm his way out of my embraces if he so choses. And he choses to do so often. His hair is short and neat – although he would prefer a

He picks out his own clothes – the kid actually has really good style. Hendrick has become a kid – not my baby, or toddler - although I have no idea when that happened. He does his own thing and it kind of worries me that he no longer needs me as much. If I won’t get him something, he gets it himself. He never used to be able to do that. He’s become independent and every single day it feels like he is moving further and further away from me. Less hugs, less kisses, less holding hands. Most of the time I have to bribe him for affection, which makes me sad. He has his own world now, filled with friends and teachers, and I am no longer so important. I would give anything to travel back in time eight years and hold him as a baby again. Just for a little while. Whatever you do, don’t blink. You’ll miss everything.

Slow but sure Summer is arriving one day at a time. It is a gradual process but is inevitable.
In which the Farmer becomes a “sexagenarian.” Really. That’s what it’s called.
T
he Farmer turns 60 this month. We celebrated with something that I will likely never undertake again, as long as I live. I booked the Legion hall and threw him a surprise party. I started planning the surprise months ago. I sent out the invitations, booked the hall and gave our girls their individual assignments for slideshow, music playlist, birthday cake, décor. I don’t know what I would have done without their help and the help of my mother and sister and friends. But when it came to the development of a believable fib that would get my husband to his own surprise birthday party on time, I was on my own. And I’m a terrible liar. The anxiety set in about two weeks before the event. I worried he would make real estate appointments for the night of the party, or he just wouldn’t feel like going out. Someone asked how would I get him to the hall on time? I decided I would tell him we were going to the surprise 40th of a girlfriend of mine. “Which friend?” she asked. “It has to be someone he doesn’t know very well, but knows well enough to want to go to her party. You need a backstory. You
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
need to know her birthdate, her middle name….” It worries me how much thought my daughter puts into telling a lie. She’s good. The morning of the party, I still hadn’t told my husband that we had plans that night. Finally I blurted out, “it’s Mr. Stover’s retirement party tonight. You know, he taught with my dad for years.” I gulped. He said ok. Then he said he planned to spend the day running around doing real estate stuff, and he would drive into the city to visit his dad. Good, I thought. Because I have to spend the day zipping around town buying decorations, getting my hair done, picking up helium balloons, collecting and testing audiovisual equipment and setting up the hall. I didn’t need to run into him.
On my first trip into town to pick things up, I ran into him. His eyes followed me as I drove on by. I smiled, waved and gulped. I should have been at work by then and he knew it. I sent him a text message. “Late for work! We need to be at the hall by 7:30 for speeches…” I got an “x” in return. I thought he was on to me. The adrenalin was upsetting my stomach. We were late getting access to the hall and being technologically uninclined, the set-up of the slideshow took me a lot longer than expected. I needed to get home to whip up the spaghetti I had promised the birthday boy for dinner. After our meal, “We don’t have to be the first ones there, do we?” he asked. “Uh, no, but I don’t want to miss the speeches,” I reminded him. When we pulled up to the building, one of my friends was outside, smoking a cigarette. When she recognized my truck she ran in to assemble everyone. Climbing the steps to the hall, the Farmer says, “Who is this party for, again?” He is 60. We are both getting forgetful. My heart was pounding. I had almost succeeded in surprising him. Then he saw the slideshow of
our photos on the wall. He stopped and peeked around the corner. I had to pull him into the room. “Oh no you didn’t,” he said. Everyone jumped out then to surprise him, and I could relax. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The adrenalin rush was a bit much. I really don’t think I will be doing that again. But I think the Farmer was pleasantly surprised, and a little overwhelmed. Mission accomplished. Most people don’t believe me when I tell them the Farmer is sixty years old. He looks much younger than that – but then, sixty is much younger these days.
People don’t really retire –they just switch focus. Today’s pre-seniors spend more time pursuing quality of life – hobbies and activities they enjoy. After retiring from teaching, my sixty-year-old is working on his new career as a real estate agent. In his spare time he is cattle farming, building a log cabin, cooking Sunday dinners for up to 20 people a week and spending time deep in conversation with his new granddaughter. Life is looking pretty good at sixty. And the age comes with a sexy title. dianafisherbooks.com theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot. com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Climacteric ripening all part of the process for some fruits Don Mercer
One of the things I find fascinating about Food Science is the rather strange terms we routinely encounter. “Climacteric ripening” falls into this category and is something familiar to most of us, whether or not we actually realize it. “Climacteric ripening” affects a number of fruits including apples, avocados, bananas, mangoes, peaches, pears, plums, and tomatoes (yes, tomatoes are actually a fruit). Climacteric fruits ripen after being picked, which provides a number of advantages as we shall soon see. Significant spikes in respiration are triggered by the natural production of small amounts of ethylene as they near optimal ripeness. In comparison, nonclimacteric fruits do not produce ethylene, and do not ripen after harvesting. Examples include oranges and other citrus fruits, as well as strawberries and raspberries. An in-depth understanding
of how fruits ripen has had a profound effect on the availability of fruits such as bananas to those of us living in non-tropical areas. If bananas were picked at their peak, they would be over-ripe and unsaleable by the time they reached their destination. To overcome this problem, bananas (and other climacteric fruits) are picked at what is known as “commercial maturity”. Bananas are usually green and quite firm in order to resist damage in shipping and to delay the onset of spoilage. Commercially mature bananas are then placed in ripening chambers in their destination country. A small amount of ethylene, generated from ethanol, is introduced into the chambers. This activates the climacteric ripening process and nature seems to take over from there. The rate of respiration begins to increase and other changes start to take place. While bananas mature, starches are converted to sugars and there is a

Delivery of the bananas to retail outlets is timed so that they will be as close as possible to ideal ripeness after purchase by the consumer. Improperly ripened fruits may lose their texture and taste. Temperature and air
circulation are also important in the ripening chambers since the respiration process gives off water vapour, carbon dioxide, and heat. This is very similar to respiration in the human body. Excessive moisture and high temperatures can reduce product quality which ultimately affects the financial bottom-line. If you happen to have some

in the refrigerator, they may blacken - so care must be taken if you do decide to refrigerate them. You should also avoid keeping climacteric fruits in closed bags any longer than necessary. This will trap the naturally-produced ethylene and hasten their ripening. Hanging bananas on the hook of a banana holder will allow airflow in your kitchen to sweep away the ethylene and slow the onset of spoilage. The amount of ethylene produced is so small, that it should not be a worry. There is even produce which is sensitive to the ethylene produced by climacteric fruits, even though it does not produce ethylene itself. Therefore, understanding the difference between climacteric and non-climacteric ripening will help you in determining the proper storage conditions for fresh produce. This is a topic for another time.
bananas that are still green and you want to ripen them faster, you can place these bananas in a paper bag with a few slices of apple. The apple slices produce ethylene gas which will then prompt the ripening of the bananas. To delay the ripening process, you can place the fruit in a Don Mercer is an associate cool location.

Gardener’s Corner
Insist You Grow I normally write this column about 10 days before publication date. Today is May 11th, my Dad’s birthday. We lost him last October. He would have been 97 years old today. Mother’s Day and Dad’s birthday were always within a few days of each other. A time to celebrate and a time to start growing. Mother’s Day was always a cue for me to check my secret fiddlehead patches. This year, they were bang on schedule. I was out early this morning sitting in a patch of dappled sunlight, emerging fiddleheads and a carpet of red trilliums. I harvested about four pounds of fiddleheads and then just sat for a few minutes on the trunk of a downfall tree looking at all the shades of green and the punctuation of red trilliums. The only sound was the subtle wind in the trees. Quiet and solitude have become such a luxury. Life has become so loud lately.

Kemptville Snowmobile Klub building in the community thanks to OTF Grant On Sunday May 15, 2016, the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub celebrated the ground breaking ribbon cutting for their new clubhouse today, thanks to an $88,500 Capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). MPP for Leeds-Grenville, Mr. Steve Clark joined OTF Grant Review Team Chair, Louise Heslop and KSK Vice President Barry Thompson in the ribbon-cutting ceremony launching the start of the new building. “I’m so pleased to join Kemptville Snowmobile Klub members in celebrating the official opening of their new building. I want to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for recognizing the value of this facility, not only to the Snowmobile Klub, but the entire community,” said Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark. “Trillium Foundation investments such as this $88,500 grant are
helping organizations like the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub and their dedicated volunteers make our communities even better places to live and visit.” Since 1972, the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub, is a dedicated, community focused, notfor-profit organization committed to our local community. Its main impact is centered on a 225 km trail system which provides countless hours of recreation for snowmobilers, skiers, walkers and dog sledders. The need to have a larger, accessible facility is necessary to continue with club activities which brings the community together during the longest isolation period – the winter. “There are no words to describe our gratitude to Ontario Trillium Foundation for the gift of this Capital grant. To have a building to share with the community opens a whole new world for us at the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub. We will now
be able to host our own landowner’s dinner and provide the opportunity for the club to increase their activities within the community. Our helmets go off to the great work of the Ontario Trillium Foundation,” said Penny Lennox, President of the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub. The Kemptville Snowmobile Klub is committed to preserving this space and ensuring that it remains accessible for many community groups in order to achieve their common goals. The leading grantmaking foundation in Canada, the Ontario Trillium Foundation strengthens the capacity of the voluntary sector through investments in community-based initiatives.

When I got home, our own patch of fiddleheads were at their prime. We now have enough for a few good feeds. The window is so short for such a delicacy. Short windows have become a concern lately. Medical issues have taken the forefront lately. Things I need to deal with. Tests and tests and more tests. It does tend to focus your attention on the things that are really important. The doctors are doing their best to ensure a good outcome. To a person, they want the best for you physically
but they don’t do things that enrich a feeling of well being. They don’t sit on a log and look at the trilliums. They don’t pick fiddleheads. Maybe a few. I’ve been writing this column for more years then I care to remember. The feedback is just an inspiration to continue. If I can encourage only one person to start growing, it’s worth it. It’s not about Apps and loud ads that want us to buy the latest widget. It’s about sitting on a log and looking what nature has given us. It’s about recognizing human frailties and our potential to go beyond. If we leave nothing else to the next generation, growing and quiet would be a good start. Shed the noise and the hyperbole of vested interests. Sit on a log, stroke your cat, give your dog a treat. Plant something. Life is not about virtual experience. It is about actually doing things. Kiss your kids, cuddle your pets, and grow something. Lessons learned from parents can be good, bad or indifferent. They did their best. Learn from the best. Life doesn’t come with any guarantees. You take the good with the bad. Make the best of the good. Sit on a log and look at the green. The bad will fade if you look forward and insist you grow.

Staff were directed to prepare an administrative report regarding the request. Resolution passed to display support for Fort McMurray on electronic sign boards in Kemptville
“Just in regards to the situation we’re facing in the province of Alberta (Fort McMurray), I think it would be appropriate, as we do business by resolution, that council direct staff to put information on the electronic sign boards at the fire hall and the municipal center to show the community support,” said Barb Tobin.

The resolution pertained to the rising cost of electricity in Ontario and putting a moratorium on further development of green energy developments (solar and wind). “Be it resolved that the council of the Municipality of North Grenville supports the resolution passed by the Township of Champlain requesting the province of Ontario to place a moratorium on further development of this type and complete an extensive review of the Green Energy Act, in order to provide affordable electricity to our citizens,” read Gordon.

Memorial Family Classic Ball Tournament celebrates silver anniversary this June Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Ron Vanden Tillart memory lives on not only through the love of his family and friends, but also through the ball tournament started in his honour back in 1991. This June will mark the 25th anniversary of the Memorial Family Classic Ball Tournament at South Gower Park in Kemptville. At the age of 33, with two young children, Ron was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At the time, there were no treatments available and the only option to battle the disease was to travel to Toronto and seek alternative (homeopathic) treatments. David Valcour, a friend of Ron’s, organized the first Ron Vanden Tillart Memorial Lob Ball Tournament to help raise funds for the family. Ron played in the local baseball league on the mixed and men’s teams at the time. Twenty-four teams gathered for that first tournament and rallied around the Vanden Tillaart family in their time of need. “It was wonderful,� said Candice Vanden Tillaart, Ron’s wife. “A lot of the team members wanted to do something for him and they did.� Sadly, Ron passed away in Feb. 1992. Over the years, the tournament was renamed the Ron Vanden Tillaart and Brenda Finnerty-Oneil Memorial Family Classic and now carries
the name Memorial Family Classic Ball Tournament. From 1992 to 2001, the tournament was run by the local league, until a committee was formed and took over the organization. “It’s amazing it’s gone on this long,� said Candice, who has sat on the tournament’s committee since 2001. “We’ve seen teams come and go, but there are teams that have been playing for the past 25 years.� The mission statement of the tournament is to raise funds to provide financial support to Kemptville and surrounding area residents who have been diagnosed with a debilitating disease, while at the same time protecting their privacy. “I put myself out there and people approach me or other members of the committee and give us names of people in need,� explained Candice. “We talk to the person who brought forward the name and find out whether the family is open to discussing it with us. We keep everything confidential. The committee of three decides how much and who to write the cheque to. Sometimes we get thanked in person, on the phone or in notes.� She explained the tournament provides funds approximately to 10 individuals and families annually to help offset medical costs, such as hospital parking fees or prescription medications. Over the past 15 years, since Candice joined the committee, roughly
150 local people have been supported by the tournament. “It’s amazing, yes, but sad in the same breath that so many people in the community are not well and need help,� said Candice. Annually, the tournament brings in between $10,000 and $14,000. This year, the goal is to raise $25,000. The funds raised at the Memorial Family Classic Non Curler Fun ‘Spiel held at the North Grenville Curling Club back in Feb. will help organizers reach this goal. “We’ve raised more in the last few years now that Scotiabank has come on board,� said Candice. “They do an hour of sales at the raffle table and whatever they sell during that time is matched up to $5,000. That has really helped a lot.� The tournament itself features a unique spin; the winning team is awarded three cards, with which to make a poker hand – the losing team is given two cards. Whichever team has the best poker hand at the end of the game is the true winner. “It takes away the competitiveness of the games,� said Candice. The Memorial Family Classic Ball Tournament will be held June 10 and 11 this year. So far, 24 teams have signed up for the tournament, which will feature a silent auction, breakfast, all-day barbeque and beef dinner in the evening on Saturday. The tournament is en-

Head of the United Church of Canada stops by House of Lazarus in Mountain Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Welcome to Mountain! The staff and volunteers at the House of Lazarus rolled out the welcome mat for Rt. Reverend Jordan Cantwell, Moderator of the United Church of Canada, on May 12. The HOL exists under the umbrella of the United Church of Canada and Rt. Rev. Cantwell stopped by to visit the facility and have lunch with staff and volunteers. She was given a tour of the HOL and provided information on various initiatives being undertaken by the organization, which consists of a food book that caters to 300 families each month and a thrift store. The Rt. Rev. Cantwell, who has served as the Moderator for the past seven months, explained she wanted to make it a priority to see rural organizations that don’t normally get visited by the Moderator. “I live in Saskatoon and serve in a rural community,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell. “I think its important visits get spread around.” The Moderator spends at
least one week in each of the 13 United Church conferences across Canada during their three-year term. Currently, the Rt. Rev. is touring the Montreal/Ottawa Conference, which includes the Seaway Valley Presbytery. “This is my first tour as Moderator,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell. “It means so much to have her here,” said Janet Carkner, assistant to the HOL Executive Director. Currently, the HOL is seeking donations from the Gifts with Vision foundation through the United Church of Canada to expand two essential programs; Linking Hands and Food with Friends. “I am totally impressed by this,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell, when asked her impression of the HOL. “I am impressed by the scale. Also, by the incredible abundance of compassion.” She said the work done at the HOL is only possible through the dedication of the volunteers. “It’s wonderful; quite moving,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell. “It really is a testament to human compassion and ingenuity as well. It takes a lot of cre-

Cathy Ashby, Executive Director of the HOL, explained to the Moderator the organization was successful in securing three summer students this year to help with the garden, which grows fresh produce for food bank clients, and the Linking Hands program. Kim Merkley, client services manager at the HOL,
explained to Rt. Rev. Cantwell about the Every Plate Full campaign currently underway. “Every $1 equals three meals,” said Merkley. “Online, we have 450 meals and offline we have 966 meals.” The campaign is going on throughout the whole month of May and donations can be made online by visiting www. everyplatefull.ca and selecting the HOL. The Rt. Rev. Cantwell was also told about the walk-athon on May 14, the food drive being undertaken by Nation-
view Public School in South Mountain and the annual FillA-Bus campaign coming up in August. “People were so generous last year during the Fill-A-Bus campaign,” said Ashby. “Some came out with whole cartloads of food for us.” Also in attendance were Reverend Rosemary Lambie, Executive Secretary of the Montreal/Ottawa Conference of the United Church, Pastor Debbie Poirier of the Chesterville United Church and HOL board director June MacMil-
lan. The group discussed the process for clients using the food bank. “Cathy gave an amazing presentation recently about who uses the food bank,” said Rev. Paterson. “It never ceases to amaze me the number of seniors and children – kids who go to school hungry. My wife is a teacher and she sees that in the school.” “We are very fortunate because the community supports us to the extent it does,” said Ashby. “There are so many volunteers – people everywhere – it’s remarkable,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell. The group took a tour of the food bank and Ashby pointed out to Rt. Rev. Cantwell a shelf full of Happy Birthday bags donated by a local community group. “This is a particularly thoughtful donation,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell. Following the stop at the HOL, Rt. Rev. Cantwell was off to Algonquin, just outside of North Augusta. “Thank you for everything you are doing,” said Rt. Rev. Cantwell to the HOL staffers in parting.

Merrickville-Wolford gives Hub Pool $12,000 Jennifer Westendorp
jwestendorp@metroland.com
Submitted Photo
Merrickville-Wolford council unanimously voted on May 9 to give the Hub Pool in Smiths Falls $12,000. The Hub, located in the Gallipeau Centre, has been struggling to stay financially afloat since Feb. 2015. At that time, the Hub approached Smiths Falls council asking for emergency support. They also approached neighbouring municipalities for financial support. Last year, Merrickville-Wolford provided the Hub with a $6,000 municipal grant. The Hub asked for $12,000. “We’re hoping this will be enough to keep them going,” said Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash. He explained the Hub is an exercise center for a lot of the seniors in Merrickville-Wolford. “They have a heated pool that a lot of our seniors love,” said Nash. “They wanted to see us support the Hub.” The $12,000 municipal grant is included in the 2016 budget for Merrickville-Wolford, which was also passed on May 9. The budget contains a municipal tax decrease of nearly one per cent.
